Look, I admit, 120 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: there's not a lot that really surprises me, but seeing 121 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 1: this today, I was initially very surprised. 122 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 4: Then I got it. 123 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: But to make a decision this fac Damian Lillard is 124 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: going back home, and by home, I mean he's going 125 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: back to Portland as he rehabs all year from. 126 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 4: The injury suffered. 127 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: Look he had, he had the blood clot as well, 128 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: he had the torn achilles. H missed the playoffs this 129 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: year for the Bucks and it was an easy exit 130 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 1: for Milwaukee out of the playoffs. Here Milwaukee buys him 131 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: out for over one hundred million dollars, and hey, the 132 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: narrative was Damian Lillard one of the most exciting players 133 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 1: in the NBA who's kind of passed his prime a 134 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: little bit, but still incredibly exciting. He's gonna take his time, 135 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: can rehab on his own back in Portland with his family, 136 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: and he'll take his time picking his next team. He'll 137 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 1: take nothing but time. Dah, this is a decision that 138 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: could be a year away. Nope, it's already made, as 139 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: he has decided to go back to Portland for three 140 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: years and forty two million dollars. Now, it's not a 141 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: lot of money, but obviously he's someone who is Now 142 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: you get to your age thirty five year coming off 143 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: an injury. The Blazers are gonna pay him this year 144 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: just to rehab because he's not going to play all 145 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: season long, and they're looking at what's going to be 146 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: likely a two year deal. He's also getting a no 147 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: trade clause and now he and Lebron James are the 148 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: only ones in the NBA with no trade clauses. 149 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 5: He also almost all that money from Milwaukee. I mean, 150 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 5: you know, so he talked about with Bradley Beal yesterday. 151 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 5: It looks smallish. No, no, no, he's still getting a novelty 152 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 5: check from No. 153 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: I said when I was getting that he's getting one 154 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen million dollars. But this contract, this is 155 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: what the Blazers are on the hook for, and it's 156 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: three years and forty two million. And you know, I'm 157 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: happy for Damian Lillard. And I'm starting to realize that 158 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: not that I feel guilty, but. 159 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: That I feel. 160 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: Looking looking back at his career, there was a lot 161 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: of players. Let me let me start here. There's a 162 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: lot of thoughts on my head. I've had a lot 163 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: of coffee in the last few minutes. So one of 164 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: the conversations day, yeah, one of the kind I used 165 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: to rule. One of the conversations that Rick Buker and 166 00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: I've had for a long time, right, whether it was 167 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: on the air off the air, is about how there 168 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: are a lot of NBA players that enjoy the lifestyle 169 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: of being an NBA star, and the winning is not 170 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: something that they're so obsessed with. And look, this is 171 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: why players like Kobe and Lebron all cut through because 172 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: we know how badly they. 173 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: Want to win, right KD Steph Curry? All right? 174 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: Why we gravitate to these guys we talk about all 175 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: the time. We know how badly they want to win. 176 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: But not every star is like that. And you see 177 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: many stories of stars who get to the NBA and 178 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: are great players. But is winning their ultimate goal? Winning 179 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: an NBA title and then when they win, go win 180 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: one again? Or is the ultimate goal? Hey, this is 181 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: my dream to play in the NBA. I love the lifestyle. 182 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Winning is great, but if I don't win, it's okay. 183 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: The old Scotti Scheffler, Hey, winning is not that big 184 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: a deal. You'll not gonna like it for two minutes anyway. 185 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of players who are like that. 186 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 1: And now seeing Damian Lillard, who had took him forever 187 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: to leave Portland and it was, you know, kicking and screaming, 188 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: Hey dude, you gotta go. 189 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 4: Man. 190 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: You I'm sick and tired of talking about how great 191 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: a player you are at ten thirty at night in 192 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: the West Coast when only you know a dozen Portland 193 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: Trail Blazer fans live got to see you go for 194 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: fifty and start hitting stuff from the logo because the 195 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: Blazers are terrible and they're not on the radar screen. Dude, 196 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: you could be winning titles. Man, you could be going places. 197 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: You could go somewhere. And finally, after years and years 198 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: and years of this, okay, I'll go. And he goes 199 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: to Milwaukee and it doesn't go great, and it didn't 200 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: seem like he was ever really happy. His preferred destination 201 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: was Miami and he couldn't get there. 202 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 4: So now what does he do? He goes home. 203 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: Clearly he doesn't care about winning, So I wonder how 204 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: much he ever cared about winning. And you know what, 205 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: sometimes I can say, that's okay, right, it's okay if 206 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: you if this is the kind of player, but you 207 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: have to understand if you're going to trade for a 208 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: guy like that, that that's what motivates him. And so 209 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: clearly seeing this with Damian Lillard, yeah, already with this 210 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 1: injury coming, I want to go back home. Maybe I 211 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: never really wanted to leave to begin with. But I 212 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: want to go back home to play and play the 213 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 1: rest of Mike or whatever it is it is, I 214 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: can still find a joint, but still gonna go out 215 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and try to win every night. But am I I'm 216 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: but if I don't make it far in the playoffs, okay, 217 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: if I don't win the title, it's okay. I'm gonna 218 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: try to win wherever I can. But am I gonna 219 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: go crazy about building a winner? Or am I gonna 220 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: go and just enjoy the rest of my career? That's 221 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard and I feel like we've we we've we've 222 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: underestimated or or misappropriated him into the into the the 223 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: the group of players where it's like, hey, you're a 224 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: difference maker, goin a championship. You of course burn to 225 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 1: go win. He doesn't burn to go win. He burns 226 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: to play. He loves to play, He loves the game. 227 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: He does incredible things in Portland. He's one of the 228 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: most love beloved players in franchise history in the area. 229 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: But he's not quite wired like the alite like we've 230 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: come up with Kobe and Lebron and Shaq and all 231 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: these guys that want to go and win and win 232 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: and win, and Steph Curry and give me another title, 233 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: and give me another title. He's just not that guy. 234 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: And I think now that we see him decide very quickly, Hey, 235 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: I'm okay going back home and to fight it win, 236 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: I'll win. That's kind of the guy he has been 237 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: throughout his career. Wasn't so much loyal to a frand 238 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 1: I found a place I like to play, and I 239 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: like playing here, and that's enough for me. And that's 240 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: kind of Damian Lillard. That's who he's always been. But 241 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: it took to get to this point where he goes 242 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: back home for us to really see it that three peas. 243 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 5: You might always have that moment of clarity along the 244 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 5: way too, you know, to everything turn turn turn. I'm 245 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 5: gonna quote the birds all night now, but we we 246 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 5: or the Bible. I guess they took that from But 247 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 5: you look at the situation, right, he goes home where 248 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 5: his kids are, so you know that was swirling in 249 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 5: the background of a lot of this when he requested 250 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: the trade in twenty three. I think it was only 251 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 5: the heat that really came out and all the reporting 252 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 5: as a preferred destination goes to Milwaukee. How much you 253 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 5: know this? Now you can have the side conversation of 254 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 5: how much of this is Gianni's telling him, Yeah, I'm 255 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 5: gonna be here when you get back. So so you 256 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 5: had that going out. You know, maybe that's swirling yeah 257 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 5: over here two. But you know, in all walks of life, 258 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 5: you come into a situation bright eyed bushytwn. I got 259 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 5: a lot of people at work in education. I'm gonna be, 260 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 5: you know, a creator of young minds. I'm gonna do this, 261 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 5: and then ten years later it's like, boy, I'm in 262 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: for ten so I got to stay for the extra 263 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 5: you know, fifteen or whatever it is, until I'm fully 264 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 5: vested an age and whatever else to you know, you 265 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 5: come into those continuums, whatever it is you do for 266 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 5: your job. We talked about this a lot last night. 267 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 5: You can find the podcast about the Scottie Scheffler stuff, 268 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 5: et cetera. For Dame Lillard. You might have had that 269 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 5: guy that burned with desire back when he was drafted 270 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 5: in twenty twelve. You have a couple of big runs CJ. McCollum, 271 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 5: They've had a pretty good squad, and then things change. 272 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 5: You have a major injury where you're not gonna be 273 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,119 Speaker 5: able to play for a year puts things in perspective 274 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 5: that you know you're on the back nine, as it 275 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 5: will to continue the golf analogy, and you've only got 276 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 5: a couple of years left. You're in the Western Conference, 277 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 5: not expecting to win anything. The fourteen million dollars seemed 278 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 5: like if you really wanted to go home, you might 279 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,720 Speaker 5: have taken a little less and given them some more flexibility. 280 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 5: You know, six yards still getting one hundred million from Milwaukee, 281 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 5: but you ended up you get your closure. And it 282 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 5: might have been loving it and wanting to fight for 283 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 5: wins for a long long time, but at some point 284 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 5: you have that that moment where things change and you recognize, hey, 285 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 5: I still love the job, I still love the paycheck, 286 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 5: I still love the locker room, whatever else, but winning 287 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 5: maybe pushes away. We've talked with guys a long time, 288 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 5: right at a lot of football players, Hey, I happened 289 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 5: to be six seven, what are you gonna do?

Right, 337 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: there's there's not that out there, but there's others because 338 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: of what you put your body through. 339 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 4: But other sports there are stars and that's okay. 340 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: And and if your efforts never in question, if you're 341 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: you're you know, you don't put everything on the floor, 342 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: uh everything, leave everything out there, Okay, then I can 343 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: look at you and go all right, I don't know 344 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: that you you really deserve this money, deserve this credit. 345 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: But you see Lillard play, you know how you know 346 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: how much he tries to when every time he gets 347 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: on the floor, it's just, hey, I'm not gonna sit 348 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: here and try to recruit guys to come, and I'm 349 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: not going to try to worry about circumventing the salary 350 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: cap to sign here and go here and play for 351 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 1: a title like. 352 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: He's not made to win. 353 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: He's not made and judged by how many finals he 354 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: gets to like Lebron does. And you know, and that's okay, 355 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: it's okay. For it's just weird for us to see 356 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: this because we we want to think that, hey, all 357 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: the stars we watch they want to win just as 358 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: much as we do. 359 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 4: And that's just not the case now. 360 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 5: But as you let it led, the analysis was the 361 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 5: the idea of he was allegedly gonna take a bunch 362 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 5: of time, take some time to heal. See I did 363 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 5: all ties together, uh and and then make a decision. 364 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 5: Other teams potentially interested. But that's a year like he's 365 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 5: not in the plans now, right, He's okay, you can 366 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 5: come and use the facilities, we'll get you a key 367 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 5: card and you can go hang out with the trainers. 368 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 5: So we'll have to put you in their schedule beyond that, 369 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 5: you're not banking on them for this year at all. 370 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 5: So if you're your roster building with the idea that 371 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 5: you're trying to win, well, he's not a fit. Nor 372 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 5: are you gonna commit that kind of money to it 373 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 5: for a guy that's not gonna play. Where does that 374 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 5: make sense? Portland feel good story. Maybe some folks still 375 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 5: have the Damian Lillard cards that they didn't burn in 376 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 5: the barbecue pit this offseason, and you just get to 377 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 5: dust that out because your guy came. 378 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: Home, exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome.

Sweden league evaporates. And then you have Jennifer Falk, 441 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 5: the Swedish goalie saves four penalty Geck saves four. Not hey, 442 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 5: they missed it over the crossbark like Sweden did. As 443 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 5: you heard there a couple of times, including Fulk herself, 444 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 5: with a chance to win the game, says four. 445 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: Here's a big deal about this is four players from 446 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: each team missed. Yeah, well you've never seen that. Usually 447 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: if there's two misses, that's a lot in the pendal. 448 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: I thought, that's a horrible penalty for a team. The 449 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 1: first four players on each team missed, It's like, what 450 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: is happening here? 451 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 4: We had four misses? Seriously four? 452 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: And then Lucy Browns is the one who scores for England, 453 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: and how Berman would say this, how Burn would call this. 454 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this all day and DJ Lucy 455 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: Bronze with the game winner, moving England onto the semi 456 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: finals where they hope to not finish third. DJ I 457 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 1: had to it writes itself, doesn't it writes, it writes itself. 458 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: Bronze helping them to not finish third. 459 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 5: Now it's really really good. Uh fight uh in this 460 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 5: match all the way through, and then the penalty gigs 461 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 5: were insane, man, I mean, you go zero for eight 462 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: the first think about that in Vegas.

I got what it' stopped. 468 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 5: But the Swedish goalie saved four.

Watt because you're 499 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: paying him for the player he is and has been, 500 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,719 Speaker 1: and not the guy he's going to be. Right, we 501 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: still see the players like TJ. Watt, Miles Garrett. You know, 502 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: you get to the age of thirty, thirty one, thirty two, Hey, 503 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: you can still be dominant, but eventually, you know that 504 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 1: runs out you get into your mid thirties and into 505 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: your early thirties. So yeah, I think the Steelers know that, Okay, 506 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 1: we'll get a good year from him this year, maybe 507 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: we get one more. Maybe you know, he's been healthy 508 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: for the most part his entire career, so okay, but 509 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: this is a contract that was for what he's done 510 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: and what he's going to do maybe this year, right, 511 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,199 Speaker 1: which I get. But it's but in the end, and 512 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 1: you know there's a butt coming here. But this just 513 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: shows you that the Steelers, I don't know that they 514 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: are really in tune with what it is to succeed 515 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: in the NFL in twenty twenty five. I really don't 516 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: look at this decision that name. Okay, here's TJ. Watt, 517 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: we want him to retire a Steeler That was their 518 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,399 Speaker 1: whole big thing wanted to retire a Steeler. You know what, 519 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 1: first of all that era in sports, that's helen gone. Man, 520 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: you are holding onto something that is thirty years old. 521 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 4: Oh we want him to have it. You know what happens. 522 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: You don't pay a guy that's thirty thirty one years 523 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,120 Speaker 1: old one hundred and twenty million dollars where, boy, it's 524 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: really gonna suck at a year and a half, this 525 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: contract gonna really suck for us. 526 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 4: You don't do that. 527 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: You let the guy go to another team, let somebody 528 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: else pay him, and in the end he comes back. 529 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: You retire his number. He retires a Steeler because he's 530 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: always been a Steeler. He plays the majority's grist. That's 531 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: kind of how it goes. But the Steelers are stuck 532 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: with such an antiquated way of doing things like this 533 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 1: is something that really matters, and I'm scratching my head, going, 534 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: how do they think this is? 535 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: This is? This is gonna go? Right? 536 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 1: You decided then, yeah, TJ. Watt terrific defensive players. Still 537 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: we've seen the best of him, though can't argue that 538 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,679 Speaker 1: we've seen the best of him as he's thirty one 539 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: years old. They decided it was more important to them 540 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: to give TJ. Watt a three year contract at thirty 541 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: one instead of going in for the last couple of 542 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: years and going to get a quarterback and paying him 543 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: to come in because it's the most important bleeping position 544 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:11,919 Speaker 1: on the field. 545 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,440 Speaker 4: They've decided it's a hey, we want to pay a. 546 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: Defensive lineman all kinds of money who's passed the age 547 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: of thirty. But hey, quarterback, we want to shop in 548 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,040 Speaker 1: the bargain bin and try to make it work with 549 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson all maybe justin fields because the Bears kicked 550 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: them and oh now Aaron Rodgers doesn't have a place 551 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: to go, We're gonna go no, no, forget about hey 552 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: moving up, making a bold move in the draft to 553 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: go get your quarterback of the future, getting into free agency, 554 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: making a trade to go win now. Like the Steelers, 555 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: it's such an antiquated way of doing that. It's almost 556 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 1: like they're the Lakers of the NFL, in which the 557 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 1: Lakers run as a mom and pop store for so long. Hey, 558 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 1: this is how things used to be. And look, I 559 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: was sad when when the Lakers got sold because I 560 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: liked it. They that was kind of what they were 561 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: but I also understand that's not a way that's feasible 562 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: to run a team in twenty twenty five. So yeah, 563 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 1: when the Lakers got sold, Okay, first thing you said 564 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: was maybe now it's gonna be better. Maybe now they're 565 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: gonna be run like a like a professional NBA twenty 566 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: twenty five franchise. 567 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 4: I look at the Steelers say the same thing. 568 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 1: You guys know what it is to run a team, right, 569 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: You guys know that you can't keep going cheap at 570 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: quarterback like it's nineteen eighty five and you're gonna sit 571 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 1: around and say, hey, we can win with a We 572 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: can win with Neil O'Donnell. Okay, look I watch video 573 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: and Neil o'donnald getting the Steelers to the super Bowl. 574 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,360 Speaker 4: We can No, you can't do it that way. 575 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: You don't win unless you have a you have a 576 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: great quarterback. And the Steelers are one of those teams 577 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: where the standards are a little bit higher. It's not 578 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: just about hey we're staying competitive, we're winning. The Steelers 579 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: have different standards. And I watch this antiquated way they're 580 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: running things, and I just go, someone's gotta have some 581 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 1: kind of intervention and tell the Steelers, Hey, you don't 582 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: think it's really weird. You don't think that's that that's 583 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: the That's not the right thing to do to say, 584 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: here's a pass rusher over the age of thirty, here's 585 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars, and we're gonna sign 586 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks for absolutely next to nothing. 587 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 4: Really, what world does that make sense? 588 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 5: Eight million of it guaranteed three year extension back to 589 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,880 Speaker 5: back years. He did participate in all seventeen games, nineteen 590 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 5: and a half sacks two years ago, eleven and a 591 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,479 Speaker 5: half this past year. You've got a roster that Omar 592 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 5: Khan he got his three year extension that was announced 593 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago. So you've got your bases 594 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:26,959 Speaker 5: in your quarterback position certainly is not pushed aside at all, right, 595 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 5: because I've got my whole tap system, the Harmon tap system. 596 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 5: I need a thrower, I need an attacker, and I 597 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 5: need a protector. You can give me whatever else you 598 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 5: need out of that. But if I got those three things, 599 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 5: I'm feeling pretty good. It's like my Big Three. See 600 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 5: what I did. I brought it back after the NBA 601 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 5: killed it. But it's the moving forward. You decided you 602 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,399 Speaker 5: saw enough on tape with his resume, his history, the 603 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 5: first thing being, hey, we want him to retire here. 604 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 5: Probably not the best, but that's who they are, right 605 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 5: and it's the family biz. So they're gonna they're gonna 606 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 5: acknowledge that at every turn. They did with all of 607 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 5: the veterans in the past, and even in changes in 608 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 5: the front office, the Rooney family remains at the top, 609 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 5: so only so much change. We do this with all 610 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 5: the owners and every sport Jason that are that are 611 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 5: still their long term that it's it's hard to what 612 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 5: the proverbial teach an old dog new tricks kind of thing. 613 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:20,880 Speaker 4: Right. 614 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 5: We do it with Jerry Jones. We do it in 615 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 5: baseball with my beloved White Sox Bulls and all those franchises. 616 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 5: Maybe they're finally turning the page with the Bears. But 617 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 5: all of that to say, they decided this is where 618 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 5: they're going to commit money, which means they're going to 619 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,199 Speaker 5: be just good enough to be on the periphery of 620 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 5: the playoffs, maybe get in and then eventually lose fairly 621 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 5: quickly thereafter. You and I don't know what it's like 622 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 5: to have a franchise that wins fairly consistently. We just don't. 623 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 5: Oh no, no, no, right. The FoST thing I have 624 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 5: is the Mets because. 625 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: We were in the NLCS last year and we're in 626 00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,439 Speaker 1: a wildcard spot this year. 627 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, you were in a World Series a decade ago. 628 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 4: It's not a big sample size man. 629 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 5: Year anniversary of a World Series that ESPN refuses to acknowledge. Okay, 630 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 5: So all of that to say, I don't know how 631 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 5: I would like as a Steeler fan. You're excited. TJ. 632 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 5: Watts stays right. It doesn't ultimately get to the tradeing 633 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 5: for pennies on the dollar and all of those things, 634 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 5: But it's just that curiosity of how do you really 635 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 5: feel about it? 636 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 1: Are you okay with being just good enough versus going 637 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: towards greatness? 638 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 5: It goes back to what we were talking about with 639 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 5: Damian Lillard, the rich tapestry we weave. Is it good 640 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 5: enough to just, hey, the check keeps going, I got 641 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 5: a thing to go show my wares, I get to 642 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 5: punch in, I punch out, and we go back to 643 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 5: our lives. Or do you actually want something a little more? 644 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 5: That's the question, and not having won twenty straight years, 645 00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 5: I have no idea how the hell that's supposed to feel. 646 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 5: I haven't done that since a couple of years with 647 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 5: the Blackhawks and then the Bulls, all the way back 648 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 5: to ninety seven, ninety eight, ten years before cold Play 649 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 5: was like wow. 650 00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: And now cold Play catching straight. Yeah, Mike Harmon, Coldplay 651 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: got me. I mean, look, in no world does what 652 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers do make sense. I mean, just think about 653 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: this for a second. What do we need need a quarterbacks? 654 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do. 655 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 4: We're gonna try to get one as cheap as possible. 656 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 4: I mean really, I mean we were. 657 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: They were lucky enough to have to be sold on 658 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger for nearly two decades, and they won with him, 659 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: and they won the Super Bowls. Yeah, they won two. 660 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: What a great time. And now that's yeah, no, we 661 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: don't want that anymore. Like, whether it's the team feels 662 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: we can win with the quarterback being a necessary evil, 663 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: you can't. It's the NFL in twenty twenty five, or 664 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: however they arrive at these decisions. 665 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 4: None of none of this makes sense. 666 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 1: Not not even the Jets on their worst day would say, hey, 667 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 1: we don't need a quarterback. They just always go for 668 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 1: the wrong ones. The Jets know they need a quarterback. 669 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 1: They just can't pick it right no matter what, which 670 00:29:57,880 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 1: makes it. You know, it doesn't matter. 671 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 5: The little nervous this year, aren't you. 672 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 4: They canna go back and get Tom Brady in. 673 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: His prime and they would probably screw it up. Ago 674 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: Brady just can't start stop throwing interceptions. All he does, 675 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: throw it deep, throw it deep like that. At least 676 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,680 Speaker 1: the Jets know, hey, we gotta go. Even the Lions 677 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: that couldn't get things done for lot, what, we gotta 678 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: go get a quarterback. Oh, they go get a quarterback. Okay, 679 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: it works out. And the Steelers try, Hey, we're just 680 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: gonna try to do this with duct tape and gum 681 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: like they're mcguiver and they're trying to jerry rig something 682 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: together to say, ah, you know I can I can 683 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,200 Speaker 1: blow up this big bomb that's coming in by just 684 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: using a twig and and a sling shot and and 685 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,080 Speaker 1: and a doctor pepper. 686 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: How do we do it? Just trust me, Just trust me, 687 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 4: I'll do it. 688 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,720 Speaker 1: Like that's how the Steelers are trying to do it. 689 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 1: I mean, in no world does this make sense how 690 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: they're doing things cheap at quarterback? But yeah, we want 691 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 1: to give a team legend three years and one hundred 692 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: and twenty three million dollars. 693 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, to be fair, the Lions always had the quarterback, 694 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,000 Speaker 5: the running back, and wide receiver. They didn't have a 695 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 5: whole hell of a lot else. There were a couple 696 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 5: of good players that mix there in. I don't want 697 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 5: to denigrate careers if some of those linemen are a 698 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 5: few of those defenders, because they're out there and they 699 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 5: know who they are. But you know, Matthew Stafford was 700 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 5: always everybody's favorite, your favorite quarterbacks, favorite quarterback, and then 701 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 5: he still had to go to Los Angeles to win. 702 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,720 Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down The Jason 703 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,880 Speaker 1: Smith Show with Mike Carbon live from the Fox Sports 704 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: Radio studios.

Apparently they killed Carl and 867 00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: now they killed Mike Williams, the wide receiver who the 868 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:12,320 Speaker 1: Jets signed for one disastrous year and his big headline 869 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,439 Speaker 1: last year was running the wrong route during a game 870 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers calling him out for it, saying it's 871 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: a red line route. You gotta run the red line. 872 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: Mike Williams didn't run the red line. The Jets let 873 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,760 Speaker 1: him go at thirty years old. Mike Williams was always 874 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,799 Speaker 1: someone who teased us with his talent, really put it 875 00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 1: together one year in the NFL, but outside of that 876 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,759 Speaker 1: he was boy. You kind of hoped at some point 877 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: he would be better than it was. It never was, 878 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: and he retires at the age of thirty. He'll always 879 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: have the red line. Mike Williams. 880 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 5: It's difficult to finish. I really thought he was gonna 881 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 5: come back and give you some juice for those eight 882 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 5: games or whatever. 883 00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 1: You would, yeah, catch thirty passes and be another Yeah, well, 884 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,120 Speaker 1: I'll tell you. If he's healthy, boy, watch out. 885 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 5: But that's just it. Good downfield threat when healthy would 886 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,080 Speaker 5: have the big game out of the blue. For fantasy purposes, 887 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 5: you can ever count on him. You try to pencil 888 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 5: as your w R three. 889 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,359 Speaker 4: You were you were throwing a dart if you were right. 890 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 5: But when it hit, boy, it was the thing of beauty. 891 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,799 Speaker 5: I mean, because the guy made some spectacular catches over 892 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:13,720 Speaker 5: the course of his career. 893 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 4: But what did it hit? 894 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,440 Speaker 1: Like two out of every ten times you put James 895 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: in your lineup? Come on, yeah, no, that's it. 896 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,440 Speaker 5: Done. You ride the lightning man, Come on, you know 897 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 5: how that works. And now it's another former Mike Williams. Yeah, 898 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 5: because remember Mike Williams, the guy that got screwed when 899 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 5: he was trying to go into the league early, got 900 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 5: some bad legal advice, then bunked up, became a tight 901 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 5: end for a bit with the Lions. Still got top 902 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,800 Speaker 5: ten money. But yeah, now outside. 903 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 4: Outside of Mike Williams. 904 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,960 Speaker 1: With more AFC West news, Rashi Rice of the Chiefs 905 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: is sentenced to thirty days of jail time for and probation. 906 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 4: For his role in multi car crash last year. 907 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:55,960 Speaker 1: You have to think he's going to get a six 908 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,320 Speaker 1: game suspension that it seems pretty boiler played at this point. 909 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,880 Speaker 1: I mean, may maybe you can, you can appeal and 910 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,080 Speaker 1: again we have NFL p a big news coming up 911 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: next hour, but maybe you can appeal and get it 912 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 1: reduced little. But I gotta think it's gonna be six 913 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 1: games for him out of the gate when. 914 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 5: They go large, larger and let him appeal and and 915 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,719 Speaker 5: go through that process to where at minimum he's got six. 916 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: So uh yeah, there's a reason why suddenly the NFL 917 00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:22,920 Speaker 1: doing things may be a little bit more difficult. We 918 00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,280 Speaker 1: have that big story coming up next Right here, Jason 919 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,240 Speaker 1: and Mike Fox
