17
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: Today is the officially we can now start counting down

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: to the end of the Yannis era in Milwaukee. Right

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: we have big NBA story today. We got Chris Paul

20
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: coming up in a few minutes. But Jannis before a

21
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: little bit of drama Intonight's game. The story reported earlier

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: today Nicks that Yannis and his agent are talking with

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: the Bucks about Jannis's future. Is he going to stop

24
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: stn't put that out there, Ricky Bobby. Adam Schefter said

25
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: the only team that talking to in the off season

26
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: was the Knicks. Football. Yeah, the football shifter he is.

27
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: He was quote tweeting Shams. Okay, it's the only team

28
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: on the day where hey, you know the the Yanas

29
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: drama continues to go and it's not no surprise.

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: This is going along the path we thought it was.

31
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: Giannis threw it out there in the offseason. Hey, maybe

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: I should be looking someplace else, but okay, buy in

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: for the beginning of this year. Okay, fine, Bucks aren't

34
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 2: going anywhere now. Today Jannis it breaks that he and

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: his agent talking to the Bucks about what the best

36
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: future is. Is it in Milwaukee? Is it someplace else?

37
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 2: And then Adam Schefter comes in over the top with

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: the report quoting Shamsharania that the Knicks were the only

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 2: team that Janniss wanted to reach out to in the

40
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: off season. So again we are where we were in August, July,

41
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 2: June right after the season ended that it looked like

42
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: Jannis wants out, Jannis wants to go to the Knicks,

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: and I am sure unrelated Mike Carmen on the day

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: this rumor breaks, I'm sure unrelated to it. Karl Anthony

45
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 2: Towns goes for thirty five and eighteen, completely unrelated to it. Well, wait,

46
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 2: Yanni's gonna be coming here to take my job and

47
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: I can get traded in Milwaukee.

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: I better put up some numbers here thirty five and eighteen.

49
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: We all find our motivations in life and our jobs,

50
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 1: our relationships, familia and and friendships. There's times where you

51
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: got to step it up. And for Cat they also

52
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: liked the Knicks ran back into MSG yelling sanctuary SEXTU.

53
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: Why did I teach him that word sanctuary? Because they

54
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: play really well at home. So I mean it really

55
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: was just an accelerated version of what the Knicks normally are.

56
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: But yes, the idea that this has been restarted. Look

57
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: and the honest fan the flames, what was it about

58
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: two weeks ago when he was openly lamenting the state

59
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: of affairs and the losing streak they were on and

60
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: all of those things where he was starting to show

61
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: a little salty side of himself. Right, it wasn't normal

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Smiley happy, honest. Even in the past when they've had

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: little downturns, it's always been the you know, I'm blessed

64
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to be here, this life is great. Whatever. He started

65
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: showing some cracks of Hey, losing was starting to wear

66
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: on him. Yeah, hey, look, they won the championship and

67
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: they haven't gotten close since, and they're not getting there there,

68
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: clearly not. They've made moves, they tried to do everything

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: they can around Yann, it's it's not working. And so

70
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: Jannis wants out now, Right, you make a big move

71
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: and a guy gets hurt, a guy who didn't necessarily

72
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: want to be there anyway. But that's a whole other question.

73
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: So here's the thing, Right again, I don't think it's

74
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 2: any coincidence Karl Anthony Towns goes for thirty five and eighteen.

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: On that night. I don't want to get traded in Milwaukie.

76
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 2: But think about this for a second, right, and again,

77
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's any coincidence with this part

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 2: of it as well. The Knicks lose last night to

79
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: the Celtics, right, and you know they thump the Hornets tonight,

80
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: Larry Johnson with a bad game, they shut down Muggsy Bogues.

81
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: Kenny Gill's shot was just a yeah, you know, well

82
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: he's coming up back to backs. Yeah it happens. N

83
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: was pretty good to tell.

84
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: But on the night they lose last night, and what

85
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 2: happens to the Knicks. Jalen Brunson has a bad game.

86
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: He was terrible, and the Knicks lose. The one thing

87
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 2: you can say about for you know, with styles with

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: Tibbs and Mike Brown, and who's playing better under Mike Brown,

89
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: who's regressing under Mike Brown. You know, there's a lot

90
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: of good, there's also bad with the Knicks. Are the

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: Knicks too old? But are the Knicks deeper than they

92
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 2: have been? And maybe they can withstand things? They're unbeatable

93
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: at home. There's good and bad. But the one thing

94
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: you can't you can't deny is that the mark of

95
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: a great team is when your star player is out

96
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: or plays bad, you can win a game. If Jalen

97
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: Brunson's out or he has a bad game, the Knicks

98
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: can't win all right. Karl Anthony Town's not putting the

99
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: team on his shoulders by himself, and you're gonna get Look,

100
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: guys like Jordan Clarkson will come in and get a

101
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 2: little bit more minutes and and you know, you will

102
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: get a little bit more production obviously, because someone's got

103
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 2: to come up make up for Brunson's you know, missing

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 2: twenty seven or thirty points in a game. But I

105
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 2: don't think there's also any coincidence that last night here's

106
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: the Knicks and they lose and Brunson plays poorly. And

107
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 2: the one thing you can't get pack when Brunson plays poorly,

108
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 2: the Knicks can't win. So you get to the playoffs,

109
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: you will. You're talking of this being a finals type

110
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: season for you, because hey, if the only team you're

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: really worried about right now are the Pistons, Okay, man,

112
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: let's go. This is our year. Hey, you gotta get

113
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: somebody else in there that you know, when it's not

114
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: Brunson's night, this guy can carry you, or he can

115
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: carry you on Knights, and Brunson Knight Brunson enough to

116
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 2: worry about carrying him. So you had the coincidence of

117
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns. They also think this story could have

118
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: broken any day. But after the Knicks lose yesterday and

119
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 2: Brunson's bed and they see their warts out there against

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 2: a bad Celtics team playing without anybody Jalen Brown in

121
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: a big night. But still this is not your this

122
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 2: is not your last year Celtics before the Jason Tatum injury,

123
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: the Celtics are a bad team. And despite that, you saw, oh,

124
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: we really still can't win if Brunson doesn't have a

125
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 2: good game. And now today, hey, guess what. Guess what, guys,

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 2: we're talking to the Bucks, his agent and Yan we're

127
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 2: talking Bucks about our future. And here's Adam Schefter and

128
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: Sham's going, hey, the Knicks are the only team that

129
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: he wanted to talk to in the offseason. I don't

130
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 2: think any of these things are unrelated that today, because

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: what are the odds that happens today after the Knicks

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 2: get that sober reminder yesterday of if Brunson doesn't play well,

133
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: they can't win the way this team is, and they'll

134
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: try to take them away in the playoffs. The teams

135
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: are younger, more athletic, they will try to say, listen,

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 2: we'll take Brunson away and we'll yeah, good luck. Carl

137
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 2: Anthony Towns trick. He's not gonna beat us, and nobody's

138
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: not gonna beat us. Josh Heart's not gonna beat us.

139
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: Bridges isn't gonna beat us. This is what we need

140
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: to do. None of this is unrelated.

141
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: Well, Bridges, I mean still had what thirty five Kat

142
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: went for twenty nine last night, I mean not exactly

143
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: bomb efforts, and Brunson had eleven assists against his three turnovers.

144
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: I'd also, you know, take some umbrage. If I'm a

145
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Boston fan right now, I'd tell them to call in.

146
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: But we'll just send him to your twitter at How

147
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: about a Fresco stead. They're only two games back of you. Okay,

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: so they're not so they're not that bad. Come on, stay,

149
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: come on. You still have White, you still have Jalen Brown.

150
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: You still got two guys that can fill it up

151
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: and some some bench depth, Simons off the bench, et cetera.

152
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: You had a couple of your guys had really great game,

153
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: like Eminem says in eight Mile, they were living up here.

154
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: Now they got to start living down here. That's where

155
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: that's where it goes. But sometimes you gotta slow get

156
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: out and maybe you're not as good as you thought

157
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: you were exactly, which is why I always said from

158
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, either we're gonna be good

159
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: and it's great, or we're gonna underachieve and we're getting

160
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: Giannis at the door. You've been trying to existence. Yeah, No,

161
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: there's no questions about it. That's why I'm happy. Man.

162
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: I'bout all the way, whatever however it goes, Man, I will.

163
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: I know that that, Hey, Karl, Anthony Towns and O

166
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: to get Yanni Sai all right, that's how it's gonna go.

167
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: Two huge piece honest, yo, honest, yah, between you, he's

168
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: yelling Lakers. He's sending me that grasp the Lakers. All

169
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: the pieces you would trade for Yannis. You can't trade him.

170
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: You got to keep Scotty pipping Austin Reeves. Honest, you can't.

171
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: You can't trade Autin, dude. Look at look how good

172
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: you are to give back it out.

173
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: How about this Lebron for Jannis right now, straight up,

174
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 2: Lebron right now, Lebron, Lebron and.

175
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 1: Brownie for you. Honest, No, they can't have Bronnie. But

176
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: that's that's sweet the bridge. That's the sweetener. Lebron and

177
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: Brownie and you get your honest and Bryce will give

178
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: you the rights to Bryce as well whenever that happen,

179
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: will give your brother immediately. Anybody associated with basketball operations

180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: in Milwaukee is fired. Look, and never get to work

181
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: anywhere near a basketball court. They can't paint the lines

182
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: on an outdoor court after making a deal like that,

183
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

184
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: But look, nothing is changed with Giannis. Right, this is

185
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: where we knew in the off season he was getting antsy. Right,

186
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: when you're thirty, you want a championship in Milwaukee? All right,

187
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: what's my I want to win again? A right, I

188
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 2: want to win again. It's been great, it's been a

189
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: great run here, but starting to get a little bit

190
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 2: of happy feet because the team's not getting better. We changed,

191
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: we changed personnel, didn't work. Brought in Damian Lillard didn't

192
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: work right, brought in Doc Rivers did work. No, but

193
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: it's not my fault.

194
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just natural that Jannis is gonna say, Okay,

195
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: I need to get somewhere else. I need to get

196
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: somewhere else because I want to win the back half

197
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: of my career. It'll be a shorter back half his career,

198
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: being a bigger guy like that, He's not gonna be

199
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: playing this level when he's thirty eight years old. So

200
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: you're looking at Gianni's the next.

201
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 2: Three to four years, hopefully is when you still have

202
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 2: him as one of the top five players in the game.

203
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's only natural if this is how it goes.

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: And by the All Star Break he'll be dealt right

205
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: and and and the Knicks I'm sure will be the

206
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: first team. Say, do you really feel how good we

207
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: are about this team? I mean, there's no there's no

208
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 2: there's no reason that the Knicks couldn't make this happen.

209
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: Considering it seems like they're Yannis's preferred destination and they

210
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 2: have the money, and they have the talent, and they

211
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: have the players to make it work. So what the

212
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: players are going to be what it winds up being

213
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 2: that that's gonna be the bit. I think it's going

214
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: to be towns in Anonobe, some kind of situation like that.

215
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: But by the All Star Break, Yannis will be on

216
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 2: another team. Now things got changed a little bit tonight

217
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: with Giannis and when he might wind up playing again,

218
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: because this this is what happened in the middle of

219
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: the Bucks game tonight, and who knows when we see

220
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 2: Yannis next.

221
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I cast it at the mid range, and that's the key.

222
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: Janis Janis is down.

223
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: Lisadn't look good.

224
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: It does not look good. And ye Us Jim surely

225
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: just moments ago, walking on his own power back to

226
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: the locker room with the medical staff following him.

227
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 4: You know what this means. What does this mean, prosper

228
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: It means we don't have to give up Reefs anymore.

229
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,839
Speaker 1: He's a diminished asset. That was just ruey Hachimura.

230
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 4: Oh, they can have Lebron straight up.

231
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: Yannis leaves the game. A Bucks radio network on the call.

232
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: Yannis leaves the game with a strained right calf. Now

233
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: it looked awful because it was a non contact injury.

234
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: Makes a great jump pass for a whop, and trying

235
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: to get back on defense, he just goes to the

236
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: ground and you're thinking, oh, my goodness, Achilles. And look,

237
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: we've seen right calf strains turn into full blown Achilles.

238
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: But right now the good news is that it is

239
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: a calf's right calf strain Gianna's pounding the floor a

240
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, gets off the court. So you

241
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: start to wonder and you think about you think about this,

242
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: You really want to talk about how close this trade is.

243
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: Have we maybe seen Gianni's Playley's last game for the Bucks,

244
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: like at this point, now does he does he go

245
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: crazy to come back, or does he sit and say,

246
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: you know what, we're pursuing a trade. This is not

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: working out. I'm not gonna go back out there get

248
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: hurt and then all of a sudden, I'm untradeable and

249
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at next season. I'm gonna sit now until

250
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,559
Speaker 1: we figure this out. Right, And because this is who knows, right,

251
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: calf strain a week, two weeks, whatever, it's gonna wind

252
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: up being. You wonder if, okay, well, you're getting to

253
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: the holidays and the All Star Breaks in a couple

254
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: of months. You wonder if the injury has hastened that

255
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: timeline a little bit. Well, okay, he's healthy, but he's

256
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: sitting out for a little while. It's gonna take a

257
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: little bit for the Bucks to figure out this deal.

258
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be suddenly overnight where they're gonna say, okay,

259
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: here's a trade. They're gonna take talk to a lot

260
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: of different teams. They're going to try to bleed everything

261
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: they can. They're under no rush to make this move,

262
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: especially now that Giannis is hurt. So I wouldn't be

263
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: surprised if we had an extended time off for Giannis.

264
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: And really, you think about this could be the last

265
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: game he plays for the Bucks. If this trade is

266
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen, if they're going forward, why would you want

267
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: him back out The teams are going to tell the Bucks,

268
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: don't put him back out there. We're trading.

269
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 2: You're telling us he's good, like we're not gonna see medicals,

270
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 2: but you're telling us he's okay. Okay, don't put him

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 2: back out there, because if we're going to make a

272
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: trade for him, yeah, we want to make sure we

273
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: get him in our building, figure things out. We get

274
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: to look at him, don't put don't play him. I mean, really,

275
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: this could have been his last game.

276
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: It might be ready for a December twenty fifth battle

277
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: against the Cavaliers at the Garden. How about that. Oh yeah,

278
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that. Yeah, I'm okay. But I mean

279
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: we go through Milwaukee's history, right the championships the outlier.

280
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: A lot of first round or semi five you know

281
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: semi's exits, three straight first round exits. But this injury, uh,

282
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: just one that As you said, we've seen a lot

283
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: of these development into bigger injuries. We've also seen a

284
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: proliferation of calf strains uh this year and all that

285
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: that's very frequently diagnosed. It's the torn labor of Major

286
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,199
Speaker 1: League Baseball from several years back. It's like we're learning

287
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: all about the human body. Now we know what a

288
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: calf is.

289
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 5: Uh.

290
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: So we've got that, but how it portends to other injuries, Yeah,

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: it's it's tough to put them back out there. And

292
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: as we know in the NBA, if you declare where

293
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: you want to go, you're getting there. It's just a

294
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: matter of when and how and what's the asking price.

295
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Right with the Dopey rule in the NBA, you got

296
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: to make all the salaries match up and keep everybody happy.

297
00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: But there's no bidding war like this is. This is

298
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: like when ad got traded to the Lakers, like there

299
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: was there was no reason to give them anything because

300
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: the next day can screw it up. Look, Donna Mitchell

301
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: wanted to be a nick and Danny Ain't said nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope,

302
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: not doing it. So Donovan Mitchell comes up the lot

303
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: because remember we did that story. They can still screw

304
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: it up. Man, It's the NIXT. Nothing is for certain.

307

308
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: with everything going forward in the drama and the injury

309
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: and the trade, maybe he does. Maybe this is it

310
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: for him. Who did he give his shoes to? I

311
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: want those shoes.

Speaker 1: we can't lose it. We have to we have to

339
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: do something. Let's go win this game for Yannis. Maybe

340
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: you'll stay. I need these minutes. Look how good I am?

341
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: I can replace this guy. He's already out of here. Yeah,

342
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: he's already moved. He's ice skating next to Rocketfella center.

343
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Let's go give me the ball, give me the ball. Hey,

344
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of shots out there. I'm

345
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: ready for him, just like I could do it, Coach,

346
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: I can do it. Just let me go, let me go,

347
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: give it to me.

348
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: Uh so again again, this is the worst thing for

349
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 2: the next because now maybe Jannis is thinking, oh, look

350
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 2: at them, come up with a win against the best

351
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 2: team in the Eastern team with the best record in

352
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference, and.

353
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: Oh, maybe we are going to have a great year. No,

354
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: I want to stay. Well, it's gonna happen. It's gonna

355
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: ruin him going to the next Sometimes you play up

356
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,399
Speaker 1: to the competition, challenge accepted, and maybe Giannis is a

357
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: little inspired coming out of this. Say, look at my guys,

358
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: Look at my guys. Come on, Pistons, Come on. All

359
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: I needed was to be moderately broken for a day.

360
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: Look at me. Come on, Kate Cunningham, let's see a

361
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: three ball here. Come on, guys, you'd never rooted for

362
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 1: the Pistons, So are you love the Piston let guy?

363
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: Three years ago you predicted greatness for them. That didn't transpire.

364
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: They got the Lions almost there. But now they hate

365
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: you there too. Uh you jump back on the Pistons,

366
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: and now you're looking for Kate Cunningham to give you

367
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 1: greatness one more time.

368
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, so again a little bit less than a

369
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 2: half minute left to go, Bucks lead it by one,

370
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: and everybody saw the fans standing up.

371
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: They're all wearing Gianni's jerseys.

372
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: It's just so awkward right now, this is so awkward,

373
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: but we have to play the day coming your way

374
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 2: right now. The play of the day is, of course,

375
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: brought to you by tire rack dot Com for over

376
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,720

380
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 2: is the way tire buying should be. And well, when

381
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: when you know that if Jannis gets traded to your team,

382
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 2: you're likely the guy going the other way, you.

383
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: Want to make sure I have a big game on

384
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: that day, and Karl Anthony Towns did, so he gets

385
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: to be the play of the day.

386
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 4: Jason the Lakers didn't play tonight, so we but we

387
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 4: have the team that's getting honest, there's no highlight.

388
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: Dude, You're just I mean, that's not happening.

389
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: Man. If you're not gonna put Browny in the trade

390
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 2: with Lebron there.

391
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: If you want to toss to the Carl highlight, as in,

392
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: the team that's not getting honest, go ahead the runner ups.

393
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: Here's a team that isn't getting you honest yet. And

394
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: here's the play of the day, Towns looking away reverse

395
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 1: highlight chance of Karl Anthony Towns puts the icing on

396
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the cake. It's a sixteen point Nick glar.

397
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: So there was NIXT Radio Network on the call again,

398
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: a big thirty five and eighteen night for Karl Anthony

399
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 2: Towns on the day that hey, Giannist might get deled.

400
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: Hey all right, there's a couple of great games for

401
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: him back to back though, Oh yeah, yeah, I mean

402
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: personally undred percent, because you know, this has been swirling

403
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: for months like this is not a new revelation now,

404
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: it's it's back in the news and back in the

405
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: churn of the twenty four hour news cycle. Yeah, but

406
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: you know, for for Can, I gotta imagine his entire offseason,

407
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: he's been thinking about where his next next digs would be.

408
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: Is he done? How shopping? I don't know, do you

409
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,439
Speaker 1: think that he finished the game and he saw that

410
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: Jannis had a cash and he goes, I didn't need

411
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: to do that to ninety dive. I'm bigs. I worked

412
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: my ass off against Charlotte's. It's the only guy who're

413
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: trading for to replace me. Guys should have taken some

414
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 1: time off tonight. Why did I Why did I really

415
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: extend myself here? I didn't need to do that tonight. Man, Fine, whatever,

416
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: man ain't gonna trade me anyway. I'm I'm gonna find

417
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: a way out. That's what's gonna happen. Uh. So again, yes,

418
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: all the drama with Yannis potentially uh pursuing a trade,

419
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: he and his agent talking to the Bucks about his future.

420
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: Now the Yanness injury is out there. You know, a

421
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: non contact calf strain tonight he goes down right now,

422
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: it is a calf strain, Uh, not anything worse. So

423
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: hopefully things are okay for y honest and again it

424
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: was it wasn't a full blown Achilles you would have

425
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: had that by now. It was a cat. Now calf

426
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: strains turned into other things. Not to say this will

427
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: but it has become an issue. So I will say

428
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: this before we get to Chris Paul, this story really

429
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: hot and heavy today. Yannis, the trades. We have to

430
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: understand that this is now what's going to happen with

431
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: the honest being injured. It's not gonna be something that

432
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: happens quickly. It will happen over the course of the

433
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: next month or so. Think this is gonna be a

434
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: slow burn because you want to make sure he's healthy

435
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,959
Speaker 1: when you trade him again. We talked about teams not

436
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: wanting him to get hurt, like I wonder if he's

437
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: played his last game for the Bucks while they figure

438
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: this out. This is not a trade that's gonna go

439
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: down tomorrow or this weekend, probably not even by maybe

440
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. But I would say this is gonna be

441
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: at least a month until we figure out a trade.

442
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: Giannis gets a clean bill of health, he's back playing,

443
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: he is okay, then you'll see teams okay now trade.

444
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be a great drama. But I

445
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 1: don't know that we're gonna see a lot of movement

446
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: on this for at least until probably the beginning of this.

447
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: We'll be curious to watch is particularly with your nix

448
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: how much Well, for lack of a better term load

449
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: management comes into play here over these next couple of

450
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 1: weeks for Ogiananobi and Karl Anthony Towns. Right, if this

451
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: is gonna drag out, as you say, like let's let's

452
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: put the other line to run with it is, well,

453
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: if those guys are gonna be part of the deal,

454
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: you can't exactly expose them to thirty eight minutes. And

455
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: I know Daniel g just got clear for contact so

456
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: when he comes hopefully soon as he is back. But

457
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 1: uh no, I think if you're a Karl, you got

458
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: to make the bucks feel good about the guy that's

459
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: going to be the centerpiece of the trade.

460
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: Sell sell Jalen Will we know you're the guy. Okay,

461
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 2: just between you, you're the guy. But really set up

462
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 2: set up cat right, because we got to be able

463
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:23,919
Speaker 2: to Is there.

464
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: A cat tracker now going on with the radio stations

465
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: in the Greater mill Atwalk area. Yeah, they're going they're

466
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: getting away from holiday programming, music programming, going right to

467
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: the car all Karl Anthony Snott nora At It's how

468
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: did he operate in the low post?

469
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 2: Uh So again, that's how it's gonna go next, That's

470
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 2: how it's gonna go for you. Honest, it's gonna be

471
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: you know, a few weeks before. I think that the

472
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: injury throwing a big, big question mark into all of

473
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: these plans because now there is gonna be okay, how

474
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 2: healthy is he? How long will he be out? So

475
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 2: there is going to be that part of it now.

476
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: The other big dry today Chris.

477
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: Paul is no longer remember the Los Angeles Clippers pretty

478
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: much when you and I got off the air last night,

479
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,360
Speaker 1: Chris Paul was told his services were no longer About that, yeah,

480
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: from the team right GM Lawrence Frank saying earlier today

481
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: that they have decided to part ways with Chris Paul.

482
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 1: And in the ensuing hours we found out the relations

483
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: with Chris Paul and the coaching staff were in great

484
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: Apparently he and ty Lou were not speaking. Chris Paul

485
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: very outspoken with the Clippers being terrible, probably doing his

486
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: old Chris Paul, I know more than anything else than

487
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: everybody else about this team and going forward, because that's

488
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: what Chris Paul's kind of been, and his holding the coaches,

489
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: holding the players accountable. I can understand from the Clippers

490
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: saying yeah, we can't have that here, not from a

491
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: guy who is not our starting point guard, who's playing

492
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: just a few minutes a game, that we're hoping that

493
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: we're here because you want to have a great final

494
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: season in the NBA, right, We're hoping this is gonna

495
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: be great pr for both of us and you can

496
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: come back to the place where you had the best

497
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 1: success of your career and it's gonna be great for

498
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 1: all of us. But instead you're barely playing and you're

499
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit too much of a voice for someone

500
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: who is going anti where we are as far as

501
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: the front office goes. So because of this, Chris Paul

502
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: is out with the Clippers. Now.

503
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 2: The big takeaway from this because you've heard a lot

504
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: of different things today and we always want to give

505
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: you something a little bit different the way you've heard

506
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 2: all day. Chris Paul, it is not surprising to me

507
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: that this is how his career is ending because Paul,

508
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 2: for his whole career has been someone who's done it

509
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: his way for good and bad. Right, He's done great

510
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 2: things players association, He's done wonderful things. Teammates, you know,

511
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: they all love playing with him, standing up for teammates.

512
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: He's someone that wants to win again. Trying to hold

513
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 2: the players accountable during a season. He's in a lot

514
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: of good things. He's also in a lot of things

515
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: that greats on your teammates, the greats on teams. His

516
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: ability with the Clippers to think that I'm gonna be

517
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: able to do whatever I want to. I'm going to

518
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 2: try to shoot from the other side of half court

519
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: and get a foul call Bomby, I'm gonna get the

520
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 2: shooting foul and the playoffs which helps send them home

521
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: a big year where they could have got to the

522
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 2: Western Conference finals. Like Chris Paul has always been that

523
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 2: guy that, yes, I do it my way, and sometimes

524
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: that's great and you can look in the mirror and say,

525
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 2: you know what, at the end of the day, Yeah

526
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 2: I did it my way and it was awesome and

527
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,880
Speaker 2: I had this career. But the flip side of it

528
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: is it doesn't always help you. It doesn't always help you,

529
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 2: and and you wind up running the risk of upsetting

530
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: the teams you play for upsetting some of your teammates,

531
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 2: and this is how it ends for you being waved

532
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 2: in the middle of the night by by the Clippers

533
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 2: and people wake up going it happened at three o'clock

534
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: and them they decided at three o'clock. Was there a

535
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: big of you know, late night meeting in a hotel

536
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: that Chris Paul is saying, we can't do this and Lawrence,

537
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 2: Frank and Tyler were saying, yes we can.

538
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 1: No, we can't. Well, you're cut. That's it.

539
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 2: We're letting you go like that's the That's the downside

540
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 2: of doing it your way is that it doesn't always

541
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 2: go the way you think it's gonna go. And you

542
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: have to live with that too. That's a look in

543
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 2: the mirror moment too. And I see that because I

544
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 2: always that's how I want. I want things in my life,

545
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: in my career my way. And I get that, and

546
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 2: I'm very comfortable when I think of things that have

547
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 2: gone on in my career and things that are hopefully

548
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: coming or whatever it's gonna be, that, Yeah, I'm doing

549
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: it my way and I'm doing what I want to do.

550
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm doing it this way.

551
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: Now. Is that always the best thing for me? No,

552
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: it's not, because I have to understand that that when

553
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: I want things my way, there's certain things that are

554
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: going to fall by the wayside, or certain opportunities that

555
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get because I want to do things

556
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: my way. So I understand Chris Paul's thing of it.

557
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: N I understand this part of it. But that's the

558
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: risk you run, and especially at the end where you

559
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: know this is your last year and it's awesome that

560
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: you want to hold your team to a higher standard,

561
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: But dude, your team is terrible. Man, the team is bad.

562
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: We knew the team was gonna be bad. We're gonna

563
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: keep giving money to guys who're thirty five and forty

564
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 1: years old. That's I told you in the preseason. It's

565
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: not gonna works when the Clipper We're gonna keep giving

566
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: money to Kawhi Leonard and James Harden and keep doing

567
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: this and keep doing this and keep doing this, right,

568
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: I get that. But you know it's awesome that you're

569
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: like that, but also understand this is the end, and

570
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: is this how you want to go out? You wanted

571
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: to go out.

572
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: I'm back with the Clippers for my final year and

573
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 2: it's going to be a celebration of me for basketball,

574
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 2: and instead now it's an embarrassment getting waived in the

575
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: middle of the night. And now who knows. I gotta

576
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: think I'd like to think a team is going to

577
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 2: pick them up to play, but they maybe they don't.

578
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 2: And this is how it ends for Chris Paul, who

579
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 2: already announced this was his last year. So that's the

580
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: good and bad about doing things your way is that

581
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 2: you have to understand that, Okay, sometimes it's gonna be

582
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 2: great and sometimes it could be bad. And this was

583
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: really bad the way it ended.

584
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, do you look at the opportunity to

585
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: go back to you know, where it reclaim some glory

586
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: joining there by the way, the Clippers are only paying

587
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: so much of Kawhi's salary through basketball means just so

588
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: you know, like the rest of it is off the

589
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: books for tree planting or whatever the case may be.

590
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: But when you make the decisions personal professional, right, you

591
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: assume some level of risk, some level of trust, all

592
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,159
Speaker 1: of those things. And yeah, there's plenty that you have

593
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: no control of. Nor do you can you control how

594
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: your message is received if you just read it in

595
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: cold ard facts like trying to hold people accountable, well

596
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: they stink. So yeah, if it's buttoning up the details

597
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: and playing a little tighter defense or running your sets

598
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: a little bit better, I mean, what's the problem with that?

599
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're not in the building. They decided

600
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: it was a bridge too far and it wasn't going

601
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: to change anything for a guy at fourteen minutes a game,

602
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: and who's not a difference maker, right, He's just filling

603
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: out stat sheets at this point. And that goes back

604
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: to the age old sports or general business. Wherever you

605
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: work out there, you know this. The star gets a

606
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: little more latitude, all right, the one who's got the

607
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: eye of the bosses gets a little more latitude with

608
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 1: how they approach things, maybe a little more creature comforts. Whatever.

609
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: You're at the end of your run. You've already announced

610
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: it's your last year. So all they did was keep

00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 2: a lot of things publicly, I'm not sure totally accurate.

768
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 2: He's just missing it's just not totally accurate that that

769
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: the players said they wanted Lane to stay. The only

770
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 2: thing he was able to confirm was that Sunday was

771
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: the day they figured you are not going to coach

772
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 2: the team anymore, right like that. That's that's the only

773
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: part that Lane Kiffin said that was able to be

774
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: confirmed by the ad.

775
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: Everything else has shades of gray. It was Sunday, Yeah,

776
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: it was Sunday. It was after midnight, yeah, Sunday, right,

777
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: I got Sunday. Right. So now here's another is the

778
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: ad saying, hey, the lane Kiffin process of events not

779
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,839
Speaker 1: quote totally accurate. So now in the last twenty four

780
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 1: hours you had the A D and you've had two

781
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 1: players say not how the meeting went, nobody basically saying

782
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: nobody asked them to stay, nobody wanted them to stay.

783
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: Uh and lane Kiffin put this out on a statement. Anyway.

784
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: I always it's always weird that that that you can

785
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 2: have somebody say something. I don't know why you would

786
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: put out a statement when you know it can be

787
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: so easily disproven. Like, I don't know why you would say, yeah,

788
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 2: the players wanted me to stay. When you say that,

789
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 2: and you know what's gonna happen. Everyone's got a Twitter account,

790
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 2: someone's gonna say something that's an awful lot of people, right.

791
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 1: It's like the conspiracy theories, like as soon as there's

792
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: more than one other person, it's a problem. That's an

793
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: easy thing to be disproven. It's you in a room

794
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty guys. If you have a

795
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: different version of events than the other one hundred and

796
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: twenty guys, that's gonna get out right. That's good. It's

797
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: not like people are gonna believe Lane. I believe Lane

798
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: Kiffin over all the other players. No, no, no, no, no, that's

799
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. He's bounced around a bunch. There's already

800
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: some incredibility lapses in his professional career that folks are

801
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: gonna be like, yeah, no, outside with the kids, especially

802
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: as they all take to Twitter one after the next.

803
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 1: So my pr advice to him would be, dude, don't

804
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: say something that can be disproven so easy. That's gonna

805
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 1: wind up being embarrassing for you, because that's what this

806
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: is now. It's embarrassing for Lane Kiffin. Right.

807
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 2: But this reinforces what we talked about late in the

808
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 2: show last night that there's not been a more hated

809
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 2: football coach NFL college football the last twenty five years

810
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 2: than Lane Kiffin. Now, you can talk about some some

811
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 2: people who are hat like you want Brian Kelly at LSU.

812
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, we went down there.

813
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 2: There's a bunchy Brian Kelly LSU okay, okay, but nobody

814
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 2: has this sheer number of teams that Lane Kiffen has

815
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: hate him. This is where like if two people break up, right,

816
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 2: and you get a story from one X that oh, yeah, yeah,

817
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 2: I knew that was gonna happen because so and so

818
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: he likes to do this, and he'd you know, blah

819
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 2: blah blah blah. You could go, okay, well, who knows,

820
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: because that's what he said. She said kind of thing.

821
00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: But this is where, hey, you got seven x's saying, yeah,

822
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: man can't stand this guy because he always does stuff

823
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: like this, Right, They hate him with the Raiders, they

824
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: hate him. They hate him at Tennessee, they hate him

825
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 2: at USC, they hate him at Alabama, they him at

826
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 2: Florida Atlantic. Now they hate him at all miss and

827
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 2: they all hate hate him. They just not like, hey,

828
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 2: we brought the guy in as a coach. It didn't

829
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 2: work out. It's too bad, he's stunk, but we're moving on. No,

830
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: this is absolute hatred that these teams have for him

831
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: because of how his tenure went and how he left.

832
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: That's why there's nobody more hated him, because no teams

833
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 2: hate any coach more than Lane Kiffin is hated by

834
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: all of these teams.

835
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: Well, in the Seinfeld universe, you would just be called

836
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,479
Speaker 1: a bad breaker rupper, and it's just the end game,

837
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 1: even if it's inevitable. And it was, right Lanek, if

838
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,759
Speaker 1: it was there a while, he was moving to another

839
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: school eventually, right, or back to the NFL. Right, He's

840
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 1: not staying at Old Miss for the rest of s career.

841
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:51,720
Speaker 1: He's a young man, right, That's the thing to remember

842
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: in all this, Like whatever we get into his coach,

843
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: he's like, this is a guy, this is even a

844
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 1: guy that's like sixty eight and he, you know, deciding

845
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: his football motel. He's just deciding what's the next best

846
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: jump up?

847
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 6: Right?

848
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: Is it a minty step or is he taking a leap?

849
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 1: And so as soon as this started to swirl and

850
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: become a thing, as in season, we had what became

851
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: a very odd set of circumstances with some heavyweight jobs

852
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: that are suddenly danging in front of him. The old uh,

853
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, you're only as loyal as your options kind

854
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: of thing that it was brought to bear pretty fast.

855
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 2: I Mean, there's coaches that are hit. Nobody is hated

856
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: by more teams than Lincoln.

857
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: Well, especially if you're going to take a bunch of

858
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: quarter truths or half truths into the media about all

859
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: the other thing we could be pretty sure of because

860
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: he did prey on it and thought and sought some

861
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: people out for some advice. Exit up out a Fresca,

862
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: Exit swollen Dome. Chas and Smith Mike Harmon coming up next,

863
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: More football on the Way. Two NFL team's former superstars.

864
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:55,280
Speaker 1: Apparently you're trying to get that team's current coach fired

865
00:40:55,960 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: Fox and Mike Tomlin was never a warm and fire

866
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: he won, but it worked. They were able to win.

867
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot of winning.

868
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 2: They were able to do it, win the super Bowl.

869
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 2: You know, it's a it's a really you got to

870
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: hand it to both those guys and all the guys

871
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: that played to get to and win super Bowls. When

872
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 2: a the coach and the quarterback, we're not best friends,

873
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: but we can still find a way to get through it.

874
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 2: But now that Mike Tomlin is circling the drain, like

875
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 2: I feel like Mike Tomlin is is uh is walking

876
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: along and and like you hear that noises and buzzards

877
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 2: you know ahead like going, I got a dead man

878
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 2: walking right here.

879
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: This is he he's getting he's getting fired. Man. The buzzards,

880
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: the buzz are just circling and and uh, Will Arnett

881
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:42,919
Speaker 1: is singing from ice age food, glorious food. Uh. There

882
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: has been no more momentum towards Mike Tomlin being fired

883
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,840
Speaker 1: or reached some sort of agreement to let go, to

884
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: be let go from the Steelers than it is right now. Look,

885
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: we talked about this in the preseason, you know, we say,

886
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve, you understand that this was going

887
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: to be the last year for time. That the twenty

888
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: twenty four season was barely enough with the strategy they

889
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 1: had and Tomlin's belief and I know what we need

890
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: to do with the quarterbacks, and boy, that did end

891
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: badly with Russell Wilson. So now this year, even though

892
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: he got his contract extended, Look, Steel's do things the

893
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: right way. We're not going to have a guy in

894
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: a lame duck kind of situation. We're going to do this.

895
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: It's not not a good way to do business. But

896
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: you knew that this was going to be it. And

897
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: now the Steelers are absolutely floundering. They decide we're going

898
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: to go the cheap route for a quarterback again with

899
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and it's not working. And now you know that, Okay,

900
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: what's going to happen at the end of the year.

901
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger on the Footballing Podcast Former Steelers Legend, Who

902
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: is again? We say that, I say this about Roethlisberger

903
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: all the time. A network's going to hire him and

904
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: they're going to have the next great analyst kind of.

905
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: I said the two best guys, right were Cam Newton

906
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: and Ben Roethlisberger. And who's making a lot of headlines

907
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: now that he's been brought on as a full time analyst?

908
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: Cam Newton? Right, I told you these two guys. So

909
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 1: here's Roethlisberger on his Football and podcast, not just trolling

910
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, but he actually has an idea for another job. Yeah,

911
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: if he.

912
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 6: Would leave the Pittsburgh Steelers, it's being talked about around

913
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 6: here a lot. Maybe it's time, Maybe it's a cleanhouse time,

914
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 6: Maybe it is Maybe it's time. And I like coach Tomlin.

915
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 6: I have a lot of respect coach Tomlin. But maybe

916
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 6: it's best for him too. Maybe maybe a fresh start

917
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 6: for him is what's best, whether that's in the pros,

918
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 6: whether maybe go be Penn State's head coach. You know

919
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 6: what he would do in Penn State. He'd probably go

920
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 6: win national championships. Legitate because he wouldn't have a losing season.

921
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't. The synapses were firing really fast. And hey,

922
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: maybe I'm saying that sounds like a great That sounds

923
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: like Roethlisberger trying to find a way to say, listen,

924
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers need new leadership, and they do. They

925
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: just need a new voice at this point, right need

926
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: a new voice. And you think, okay, well, here's Roethlisberger

927
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,320
Speaker 1: saying a nice thing about it. No, no, he's saying,

928
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: you need to go back to knowing full well, going

929
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: back to college after you're coaching. You're Bill Belichick now

930
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: without the girlfriend. Like this is it. It's embarrassing for

931
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: an NFL head coach to say, Okay, now I have

932
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: nothing else to do but go back to college. And

933
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: now I'm I've been to the head coach and I've

934
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: won super Bowls, but now the best place for me

935
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 1: is to go back to college. This is Roethlisberger completely

936
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: stomping on Mike Tomlin because he can and say, hey, listen,

937
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,359
Speaker 1: you know everybody sees it. Now here's Mike Tomlin, who

938
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: maybe go back win national championships at Penn State. No, no, no,

939
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 1: he is still trolling the crap out of Tomlin with that. Yeah,

940
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 1: maybe you go to college take over for James Franklin.

941
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah.

942
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's something we talked about in terms of

943
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 1: the Penn State job and nobody what's that word wants

944
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: it or phraseology, I guess. But for for Mike Tomlin, look,

945
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 1: he's still better than how many coaches, right, We'll still

946
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: put them up on the pantheon of great motivators coaches

947
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: because it's all blends back together. Right, the x's and

948
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: o's versus getting guys to rise up in a seventeen

949
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: game season, it still gets it done. So you're under

950
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 1: contract through twenty twenty seven. So I don't think he's

951
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: walking away from it. I think they either come to

952
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: a nice, big buyout or they trade him, right, because

953
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,880
Speaker 1: there's plenty of places giants are the one that we've

954
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: been talking about quite a bit of that's like personality fit.

955
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's not going to be it's not gonna

956
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: be your out the day after all of a sudden

957
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: he gets called into an office not on because it's

958
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: also the Steelers, right. You know, we were talking about

959
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: the Chris Paul situation before. It's like you gotta have

960
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: a fall guy, right, and when you're the star, you

961
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 1: have a much larger voice. If you're a role player,

962
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 1: you're not for the Steelers. It's just always the curiosity

963
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: to me, it's like do the gms really do anything?

964
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: Or do they do what he tells them to? Right?

965
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: So like that dynamic is curious to me. What does

966
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:52,759
Speaker 1: Omar Khan? What's his culpability in how this roster is constructed?

967
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: Because we went through some of the salaries yesterday, find

968
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: the full conversation of the podcast to you know, compartmentalize

969
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: and shrink it down for bite sized consumption. Here, you know,

970
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: your top four guys are defenders and as a collective

971
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 1: they make about seventy million dollars, two of whom are

972
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,800
Speaker 1: well north of thirty in terms of you know where

973
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: they're at and their football timelines. You're seeing it week

974
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: to week. You have no idea what you're getting from

975
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: that side of the ball, what kind of pass rush

976
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 1: you're getting, what kind of opportunity. I mean, look at

977
00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: the Bears just ran all over them, just just like

978
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: there was no heart at all when they when they

979
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,240
Speaker 1: played them. But we look at just the the opportunity

980
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,160
Speaker 1: for the Steelers and for Tomlin to recognize, all right,

981
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: the wind streak is great, Like you can't just diminish

982
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: it because it's it's unlike anything we've seen. But at

983
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: some point you've got to have the postseason success. And

984
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: that's long been bandied about and long just debated about

985
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: where Tomlin is. But for the veterans, the legends of

986
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: the organization to be like, yeah, here's your here's your

987
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: kind of you know, they should go. And for Penn State,

988
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a terrible idea on the grand

989
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: scale because that is what he's always cited as, right,

990
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 1: the recruiter, the motivator. Wait, he's a great recruit. He's

991
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: been coaching in the NFL for twenty years. You tall me,

992
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: he's a great recruiter. We just gotta come. It's not

993
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,760
Speaker 1: like he's Harbaugh where he just came from college football.

994
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 1: He's a great record. But I've been at the game

995
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: over twenty years. But I think part of that is

996
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: just the personality, not necessarily the bring you into the building,

997
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 1: but keep you engaged, because that's the other part of

998
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: recruiting now, right, we talk about in college all the

999
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: time with the amount of ability and flow where you

1000
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: only have these guys basically for a year before they

1001
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: want to leave. You got them perform months on campus,

1002
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: and you have to keep them happy the entire time,

1003
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: their families, their hangers on, their managers and everybody else.

1004
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 1: Can you imagine him saving money with Penn State by

1005
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,799
Speaker 1: going after like a two star quarterback. No, hey, listen,

1006
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: we don't want to you. So what I did in

1007
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: the pros with Fields and Wilson and Rogers five star guys,

1008
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: at you're a two star guy. We're not gonna really

1009
00:47:56,960 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: give you a lot of nil money. We're gonna We're

1010
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 1: just gonna make it work with you. But that's where

1011
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: it always gets. We get into this weird spot because

1012
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you're a Jets guy, like right now, on

1013
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: on top of the world of what the Bears are doing.

1014
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: But I've watched it for years. It's been a disaster,

1015
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: right quarterback after quarterback after quarterback and no winning to

1016
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: go with it with the Steelers since Roethlisberger left, no

1017
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: matter how bad, And you can run through them. It's

1018
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: a laundry list, not as long as the jerseys that

1019
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: go around Cleveland that look like capes. At this point,

1020
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: forty two quarterbacks since nineteen ninety nine have started a game.

1021
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: You're not quite to that level, but they still end

1022
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,560
Speaker 1: up on the plus side of five hundred every year.

1023
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: It's like, that's just wrong, Like, at no point has

1024
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: it truly bitten him in the ass or the GM

1025
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: or just the Roody family as a whole, Like, Eh,

1026
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: we're still cruising along right in the meaty part of

1027
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: the curve all the time. Now, before you tell you

1028
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: how this is gonna end, you gotta hear from James Harrison,

1029
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: who look one of the great linebackers in Pittsburgh Steeler history,

1030
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: enjoyed the best years of his career when he played

1031
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,040
Speaker 1: for my Tomlin. Yeah, he's also not shedding tears for

1032
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers head coach.

1033
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 3: You tell me where there's a good coach on this staff,

1034
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 3: because right now I don't see anybody planning to their potential.

1035
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 3: Mike Domlin is in control of hiring coaches, and he

1036
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 3: may not be the one coaching the position, but he

1037
00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: is in position to hire the coaches to get the

1038
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: potential out of our players, and right now he has

1039
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 3: not put coaches in the position that can get the

1040
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 3: potential out of what it.

1041
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: Is that we have. Something has to be done, Bro,

1042
00:49:42,719 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 1: And I know.

1043
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 3: The Stellers historically don't move on from coaches, but I

1044
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 3: think it's time that history be made, because right now

1045
00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 3: the only history room making is being the worst Pittsburgh

1046
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 3: Stiller team statistics almost in the history of the organizaety.

1047
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: So there's James Hart, very very emotional James Harrison. There.

1048
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 2: Great coaches get players to play to their potential. That's

1049
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: not happening now. Look, this is gonna be Mike Tomlin's

1050
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 2: last year in Pittsburgh, and it's it's not gonna end

1051
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 2: with a big firing the day after. It will end

1052
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: very as amicably as possible, where both sides agree it's

1053
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,240
Speaker 2: time for him to move on, or they could potentially.

1054
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 2: I don't see the trade happen because then it gets

1055
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 2: really messy in that kind of situation where it's gonna be, Hey,

1056
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 2: we do things the right way, We're gonna part, you

1057
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:40,359
Speaker 2: know whatever, They figure out the money that you know

1058
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 2: to and he's gonna go and he will go someplace

1059
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: because you can't unring this bell that's been out there

1060
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,879
Speaker 2: for so long that Tomlin has passed his expiration date.

1061
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 2: When you have fans channing fire Tomlin at the games,

1062
00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 2: and when you have fans booing when they play Renegade

1063
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter to psych up the defense and

1064
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 2: fans are booing it, you know, Okay, we need change

1065
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,280
Speaker 2: with the Steelers.

1066
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 7: We can't.

1067
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: We can't go forward with this again. We can't. We're

1068
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: just it's the everybody is upset. We're in a bad place,

1069
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: and quite honestly, you need a new voice. It can

1070
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: get you to the modern era of football because Tomlin

1071
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: is still he's trying to win like it's nineteen eighty

1072
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: five with with a necessary evil at quarterback. And we're

1073
00:51:19,600 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: not gonna go crazy for talent wise guys. But because

1074
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: I had my fill with Roethlisberger and and Antonio Brown

1075
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: and Le'Veon Bell and all those guys, I mean, he's

1076
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: tried to go cheap on quarterbacks and he's tried to

1077
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: not bring in guys that that could have a diva

1078
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 1: type attitude that would rest try to fight him for

1079
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: control of the team.

1080
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 2: But this is kind of how you win in the NFL.

1081
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 2: With talented quarterback and a dynamic offense, right like what

1082
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 2: they do in the offseason, went out and they bulked

1083
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 2: up defensively and they you know, they extended guys, we're

1084
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 2: gonna run the football, run the footbron you don't win

1085
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 2: that way.

1086
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: Hey, they just brought in Adam Teelin and they let

1087
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:53,920
Speaker 1: Darius Slay go.

1088
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 2: And bringing guys that were good five years ago. Yeah,

1089
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 2: but but that that's the whole thing is is that

1090
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: you need you need to get into with the modern era.

1091
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty five is for football in the NFL. And

1092
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: and the Steelers are not it, man, they are not.

1093
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,319
Speaker 1: They are. But it comes back to the discussion of

1094
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: winning versus winning again. You know, you and I look

1095
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: at that and go, man, I wish I had that

1096
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: every year. I wish I was complaining that my team was,

1097
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: even if it's every year is a game about five hundred,

1098
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to be in that stratosphere to where I'm

1099
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,600
Speaker 1: playing mean like this is the first time the Bears

1100
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: are playing meaningful football in December and not meaningful for

1101
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: somebody else. Okay, so for Pittsburgh, you know you want

1102
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: a bit more for James Harrison. You're in his voice. Look,

1103
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: as soon as they hired Arthur Smith, what did I

1104
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,320
Speaker 1: tell you? Like? This offense is no longer Any hope

1105
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,319
Speaker 1: they had was dead right, because remember he had John

1106
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: Robinson in a box for a years ago. We'll get,

1107
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: We'll get. He's gonna get his touches.

1108
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 3: He didn't.

1109
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: You never saw my he engineer gives are the two

1110
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: best running backs in the game. This guy kept him

1111
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: in a box for a full year. But again for

1112
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: the GMS, they got to answer some questions in this

1113
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,799
Speaker 1: process too. All right, of all right, why does he

1114
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: have complete control over everything in terms of the quarterback position?

1115
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,040
Speaker 1: But you've been able to win by being on the

1116
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: cheap and spending your money elsewhere. The league is turned.

1117
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: Now you have to decide, you know, small W versus

1118
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 1: Capitol W. You want to be great in the playoffs again? Yeah,

1119
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: well he'll be. It's too much momentum going that way,

1120
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: and everybody knows change is needed. And those fans were

1121
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: all mad that Sticks announced that tour with Chicago. Is

1122
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,359
