25
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: one of the best days in sports today selection Sunday,

26
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: and it's great, and really I just love it. I

27
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: can't wait. I don't get too involved because I don't

28
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: really have a great rooting interest in it, but I

29
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: follow it because it's just exciting. That's why I do it.

30
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 4: I mean, look, everyone loves the tournament and this should

31
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: be exciting because there's a lot of parody in college basketball.

32
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 4: The teams at the top are all there, so it

33
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 4: makes four a really exciting run.

34
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Even though we won't.

35
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: I don't think we'll see the epic upsets like we

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 4: used to see four and thirteens in those. I do

37
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 4: think there's a bit of an unknown entity to who's

38
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 4: going to be the team to WATS ways.

39
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: The champ I agree with you there. You know it

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: is one of the best tournaments. It's one of the

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: best events in sports. And my question is why change

42
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: it because this talk right now, expansion maybe to eighty teams,

43
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: let it go. I mean, there's enough mediocrity right now.

44
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: I watched last night prairie View is getting in. Prairie

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: View had a five hundred record. I mean Prayriview, A

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: and M and I go way back. When I think

47
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: a prairie View, I think of an old time NBA player,

48
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: the big z Zelmo Beaty played for prairie View. He

49
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: may be the only NBA graduate from Prairie View. And

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: they're going to the NC DOUBLEA tournament. Good for them,

51
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's not good for the tournament.

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: We don't need more prairie Views going to the NC

53
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: Double A tournament.

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 4: I mean, I think if you want to give everyone

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: an opportunity to play, to represent because there's so many

56
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: visual on teams, you're gonna have some of those things.

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 4: One of the things that we used to love about

58
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: the tournament is one of the last places where David

59
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 4: angelive Kas square off and David actually had.

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: A chance to win.

61
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 4: And so a Prairieview getting in by winning the conference tournament,

62
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: by being able to do some of those things.

63
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: I love that.

64
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I hear what you're saying, but I

65
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: don't think in this day and age, you know, the

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: little Cinderella like back in the day when Saint Peter's

67
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: beat Kentucky, they ain't gonna happen anymore. With Nio because

68
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: they should have some sort of a budget limit, maybe

69
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: a salary cap a player. We'll get into that later on,

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but I will say this. I know you

71
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: are a big advocate of women's basketball and I follow

72
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: it as well, and I think that right now, with

73
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: the NCAA men's tournament getting on the way with selection Sunday,

74
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: and the women have theirs tonight at seven pm Eastern

75
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: time as well, you know they're gonna be like, sure, changed,

76
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: you know they do well. They have a great situation

77
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: going on, a lot of interest right now WNBA, whatever

78
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: it may be. I just think one of the tournaments

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: should not be at this day. It shouldn't be concurrent.

80
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: They should have one one week and one the other.

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be going at the same time because I

82
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be lacking coverage with the women's tournament.

83
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe the women should start a week

84
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: or two after or prior to I don't know, but

85
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: they haven't going on at the same time. They're just

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: not going to get the coverage they deserve. That's my take.

87
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm with them that there will be.

88
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: Some of that that takes place, right they don't get

89
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 4: their full respect, because look, everyone's gonna look at the

90
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: men's not so much to women's, and the women's tournament

91
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 4: traditionally has been chalked. They have been many upsets in

92
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: the women's because the teams at the top are like

93
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: heading shows above those that are beneath them. They're different

94
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 4: tiers to it. But when we get into those elite

95
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: eight rounds where we see the top eight teams, then

96
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 4: it should be fun because these teams are really good

97
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 4: and everyone is chasing Yukon. Yukon's undefeated, Yukon's going for

98
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 4: another championship.

99
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 2: They always appear to be in the mix. It should

100
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 2: be fun to watch.

101
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I will watch it. But again I think

102
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: that they will not. They'll take a backseat to the men.

103
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: And there are people out there saying, yeah, they should No, No,

104
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: they should not. Okay, they should not. But the point

105
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: is they will as far as coverage is concerning, and

106
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: maybe down the road they will change that a little bit.

107
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know about just the thought I had, and

108
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: I got some bad news before we get rolling it.

109
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: That's a bad news because the Magic City promotion, which

110
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: we talked about last week, which was initially set for

111
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: tomorrow night at Atlanta. It's off right now, they're not

112
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: doing it, And I'm not really surprised. I'm kind of

113
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: surprised it took so long for I guess the commissioner

114
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: to get themself together with the people with the Atlanta Hawks.

115
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: But look, there was a statement that came out and

116
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 1: said that quote, while we are very disappointed and the

117
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: NBA's decision to cancel our Magic City promotion, will fully

118
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: respect the decision. As a franchise, the Hawks remain committed

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: to celebrating the best of Atlanta with authenticity in ways

120
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: that continue to unite and bring us all together. Okay,

121
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: for though it's not familiar, Basically, it's a strip joint.

122
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: I hate to use that term. It's just a I

123
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: guess what would you call it. I wouldn't call it

124
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: a strip joint. Sounds really low class show women that

125
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: gets show class. I don't know whatever it may be.

126
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: But they do have good wings, you said, so we'll go.

127
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: They're known for their wings, Yes they are.

128
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: So they canceling the event. All right, that's done. Are

129
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: you surprised that it's canceled? You surprised it took this long?

130
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: Uh?

131
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 4: I'm not surprised that eventually it got to Adam Silver

132
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: and he put akebash on it. There was so much

133
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,799
Speaker 4: outrage about it that eventually people at the top always

134
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 4: hit the noise, and so they heard the noise, and

135
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: I guess it agree as to the demands of the

136
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 4: people who thought it was unbecoming thought it maybe it

137
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 4: was a little tasteless and those things, even though you

138
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 4: and I didn't feel like there was anything out of

139
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: pocket with it, based on the fact.

140
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: That it is such an institution down in the town.

141
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: No doubt, I've seen a lot worse. Believe me, it's

142
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: not that bad. If you don't like it, just don't go.

143
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: I mean that that's just the way it should be.

144
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: It's just, you know, everybody has their taste. That's what

145
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: it is. Listen.

146
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: You know, very easy, it very easy to be complicit

147
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 4: if you don't if you don't like, you do not

148
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 4: have to go or tonate or support it any of those.

149
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,679
Speaker 1: Things, exactly right now. There's one thing I did support

150
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: all year longer was the Miami RedHawks Miami of Ohio

151
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: Miami University rooms for Ohio basketball, and it came to

152
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: a stringing. They were thirty one and ohero in the

153
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: regular season, they won the Mid American Conference and they

154
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: lost the opening round of the Mid American Conference tournament

155
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: the University of Massachusetts on Thursday eighty seven, eighty three. Okay,

156
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: they're thirty one and one right now, and everybody's asking

157
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: the question, and we're gonna have Travis Steele on our

158
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: number three, the coach of Miami. Do they go to

159
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: the dance? You know what? It's such a ridiculous question,

160
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: I believe, because I think you talk about quad one

161
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: wins quad two, whatever it may be. Winning trumps everything,

162
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: Winning trumps everything. You go thirty one in oh and

163
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: you lose the first round of a tournament. You're going

164
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: to the NCAA tournament, period And the story agreed.

165
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 2: Yes, as you go, no matter what, no.

166
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: Doubt, as you be in right. I read something I

167
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: think last night that Joe Lonardi, the bracketologist king says

168
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: they may have to go to Dayton for the playing game.

169
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: That will be a travesty. That would be ridiculous, It

170
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: really would be. And I tell you what's gonna happen

171
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: if they don't get into the tournament, which is not

172
00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna happen. They're getting in. If they don't get in,

173
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna see a boatload of people walking out the door. Players,

174
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, going to other schools, and maybe even Travis

175
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: Steele who has been offered an extension on his contract

176
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: and not sign it yet he may bolt it as well.

177
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: I would think, m.

178
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, I think there canna be a lot of

179
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: people that are upset if they're not in, if they

180
00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 4: don't get a great seed or any of those things.

181
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: But some of that, I'll say this because when you

182
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: look at their resume, there's some things about it where

183
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 4: they did beat up a lot of cupcakes and they

184
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: couldn't finish it the way they need to finish it

185
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: by winning the tournament. That means that they're gonna knock out.

186
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 4: I'm not going to say they're gonnaknock out a more

187
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 4: worthy competitor. But what they did is they just kind

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: of forced the committee to make some hard decisions, because

189
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 4: do you reward someone who doesn't have an impressive resume

190
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 4: because of their record and taking on that resume with

191
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: a bunch of cupcakes and lightly light contenders, or do

192
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 4: you reward a team they play tough schedules but may

193
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 4: not affair as well against those schedules. I think in Miami,

194
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 4: the fact that they were undefeated for the entire season

195
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 4: until they get determined that plays in their favor. But

196
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 4: from a seating standpoint, where do you put them, Man,

197
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 4: it's kind of a difficult one.

198
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: It really is. I mean, and they're being held responsible

199
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: for the conference that they play in. You could only

200
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: beat the teams that are on your schedule, and a

201
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: lot of teams and according to Travis Steel and we

202
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: could even ask them this and now were number three,

203
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: a lot of teams didn't want to schedule him. They

204
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: shied away, they didn't want to play in Miami and lose.

205
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it was almost like the University of Cincinnati.

206
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: They fired that coach the other day, West Miller, you know.

207
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: And one of the big reasons were and they beat

208
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: Kansas year, they beat a couple of Big twelve schools,

209
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: may be three of them, but you know, they lost

210
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: to Eastern Michigan. I mean, you can't lose to Eastern Michigan.

211
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: You just can't do that. A Big twelve school should

212
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: never do that. And honestly, they probably had Eastern Michigan

213
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: on their schedule as cupcake as a gimme. Really, I

214
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 1: didn't lost to them, can't do it.

215
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 2: So there's tough, right, because it creates a different kind

216
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: of pressure. But you are right. There is an expectation.

217
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 4: That you must meet each and every time you suit

218
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 4: it up, particularly when your team like that, right, you

219
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 4: have a reputation for being a team that has always

220
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 4: been a heavy hitter. Those expectations and standards don't go away.

221
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,839
Speaker 4: And for them, meaning Miami Ohio to be interested to

222
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: hear how he talks about their season, how they bounce back,

223
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 4: and what they eventually should expect from attorney when the

224
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 4: tournament committee when it comes down to placing them and

225
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 4: giving them the proper seeding.

226
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: You know, I never ask you this question, but I

227
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: will now It just dawn on me that Wes Miller

228
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: is a North Carolina guy. Did you know Wes Miller

229
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: at all? Because he was on the ledge I.

230
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 2: Think for yeah, I do not know Wes Miller.

231
00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 4: He's been very popular in the conversation for years done

232
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,320
Speaker 4: of Chapel Hill because there's a lot of people that

233
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 4: were very in favor of him potentially being the coach

234
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 4: in North Carolina that the job that went to Hubert Davis,

235
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 4: and now that he has.

236
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Had an opportunity at Cincinnati he faltered.

237
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 4: There's still a lot of positive vibes about him and

238
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: it'll kind of be interesting to see what happens onim.

239
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,959
Speaker 1: He'll land somewhere, there's no doubt in my mind he'll

240
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: get a job, and there's a lot of openings right now.

241
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that in this day and age,

242
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: as a coach doesn't make a difference how much, you know,

243
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: as far as exison os, it really doesn't make that

244
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: much of a difference. If you're a great recruiter going

245
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: into the living room of the child there a youngster

246
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: with mom and dad. It's all about the checkbook. It's

247
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: like how much money am I going to get paid?

248
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: That's what it's all about. And I don't think, you know,

249
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati alums, they don't have the kind of money

250
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: that maybe the Kansas alums have. And I think they'll

251
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: ever be able to compete in the Big Twelve with

252
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: those kind of schools, it's tough.

253
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 5: I don't know.

254
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put it past them. Look, Cincinnati, it's not

255
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: like a non name school like they have cachet. They

256
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: have name value. People know their basketball team from the

257
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: Bob Huggins days.

258
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: And even beyond that, like they've had a lot of

259
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: success on.

260
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 1: The big old players.

261
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 4: I mean that's before my time, but okay, the big

262
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: old play there and that's a but there are there

263
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 4: are things about it that people certainly love and appreciate.

264
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: They're just in Farewell under West and they need to

265
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 4: play better.

266
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: You know, you live in the city.

267
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 4: There's there's a higher expectation than what he was able

268
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 4: to deliver. They can get back to that, but I

269
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 4: think everybody has to make a decision on how they

270
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: want to compete and what their level is in terms

271
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 4: of their level of contribution to give their team the

272
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 4: best chance to win.

273
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. About the Miami the RedHawks, they

274
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: didn't have a Quad one win. They were two and

275
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: oho against Quad twos and the majority of the games

276
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: against Quad four teams, and obviously the loss to Ums

277
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: didn't help them. That was a Quad four loss. But

278
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: you know what, all in all, they were ranked this

279
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: is unbelievable tour, the sixty ninth in the Ken Palm

280
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: and strength of schedule and an overall rank of ninety three. Obviously,

281
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't do any good for them, But basically that's

282
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: what they've given. They're in that conference. The Mid American

283
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: Conference is that way. I watched the Mid American Conference

284
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: finals last night, Toledo and Akron. All Right, it's a

285
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: different brand of basketball. I mean, you're watching Houston play

286
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: against Arizona and you're watching Toledo play Akron. It's two

287
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: different animals, it really is. I mean, I enjoyed basketball,

288
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: but it's a different kind of basketball. You're stepping up

289
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: a notch watching Arizona and Houston play. And that was

290
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: a good game. Or Duke that Duke Virginia game last night,

291
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: but it was exciting. Guy from Akron, Baum's a three

292
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: point there with about six seconds to go. When Akron wins,

293
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go because they won the tournament. And

294
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: I gotta believe they're gonna take two teams. They gotta

295
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: take two teams in that conference. The second team will

296
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: beat Miami, I'm sure of it. So accrid to Miami

297
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: will be representing them in America.

298
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 4: A lot of it depends on how many other upsets

299
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 4: take place in tournament, how many of these automatic bids

300
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 4: are secured by teams that weren't necessarily on the radar.

301
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 4: I think that I have a lot to do with

302
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: the Miami.

303
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: Situation and some of the other bubble teams, you know,

304
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 2: because some of these teams are already locked in right

305
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 2: due to where they finished in the position, the scheduling

306
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 2: and those things. So they are only about five or

307
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: six spots that are legitimately open, and we'll see how

308
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 2: those things play out today with the conclusion of a

309
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: few other college conference tournaments.

310
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 1: I will say this, I watched that Big East one,

311
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 1: and like, I got to say that Saint John's owns Connecticut.

312
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: They beat him by twenty last night, seventy two fifty two.

313
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, and Connecticut right now, I mean, I love

314
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: watching Danny Hurley coach because he's out of control. He's

315
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: out of control on the sidelines, he really is. And

316
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: more than that, they got some problems right now, losing

317
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: to Marquette before the end of before the tournament started,

318
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: and now they dropped this one. They were just out

319
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: of it from the get go against Saint John's last night.

320
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: And I would say this, you know, I don't have again,

321
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: no rooting interest there. I am from New York, and

322
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: I like to see Saint John's go further in the

323
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: tournament sermaply because I think it's good for the conference.

324
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: I think it's good for college basketball that New York

325
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: has a strong team and the Big East has a

326
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: strong team out of New York. I mean, it's a

327
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: lot better for Saint John's to do well than a

328
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: school like Creighton in Omaha, Nebraska. I think it's good

329
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: to have the big media market like New York with

330
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 1: Saint John's. It's good for the conference, it's good for

331
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: college basketball.

332
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 4: Well, what's different about Saint Johnny's being good is they

333
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: don't have football, and so they were able to take

334
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 4: all the money, all the raps share money goes to

335
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 4: the basketball team. They were able to build a more

336
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 4: competitive roster. Rick Patino has said that as it relates

337
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: to Rick Patino and Saint john taking on Yukon, the

338
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: last time they played Yukon before the tournament appearance, Yukon drumdum,

339
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 4: and they missed their last twenty four shots.

340
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: You knew that was going to play a factor.

341
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 4: And the way that they played and competed, you just

342
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: had to know that they were not going to be

343
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 4: satisfied with having that bad taste in them out.

344
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: I will say this any way. You make a great

345
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: point that basically they don't have football. But take a

346
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: look at the Big East. Most of the teams don't

347
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: have football and they're not doing well. Providence, Marquette, Creighton, Georgetown,

348
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: they don't have football either, and you would think that

349
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: the question's no football, all the moneys would be kind

350
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: of funneled into basketball. And they do well, and they're

351
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: not doing well. So you got to get Patino a

352
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: lot of credit. But more than that, he's got that

353
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: big alarm with the big check book. That helps a

354
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: lot too.

355
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: It certainly does. Big checkbooks are always.

356
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: Welcome, and he does have that and it's been a

357
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 4: big part of the success.

358
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: And then he's a terrific coach.

359
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: Let's just be honest, like coaching matters when we get

360
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 4: into this part of the season and you can just

361
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 4: see the cream rise to the top.

362
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about coaches, and you know that's

363
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: right up your ally. I mean, you look at college

364
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: basketball and the teams that basically are out there every

365
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: single year and compete great coaches. Who do you think,

366
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: honestly right now is the best coach in college basketball?

367
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: Because I think you look at Gonzaga. They get no

368
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: credit whatsoever, and they're there every year when the bell rings,

369
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: the Gonzaga's right there. They never make it to the

370
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: top of the mountain, but they get pretty darn close.

371
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: And you know it's going to be the coaching because

372
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: really and truly, I think it's gotta be a difficult

373
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: place to recruit basketball players. Maybe now with the money

374
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: it's different, but you know, a kid really, does he

375
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: really want to go out there at the Gonzaga I

376
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: don't know, but you tell me, I think that he's

377
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: got to be one of the best coaches in the country.

378
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 4: Yes, but then I'll also say he doesn't have to

379
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 4: see the heavy hitters each and every week that some

380
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 4: of these coaches have to see. You playing the SEC.

381
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 4: You play in the Big twelve. Uh, you're seeing a

382
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 4: ton of teams. I mean, we can throw the names

383
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: of coaches around. I mean John in the SEC. John

384
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 4: color Party is great, NATO's is great. You think about

385
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 4: the job that got the coach from Florida, Tommy Gordon, young,

386
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: young coach, but Florida he's great. Like then you think

387
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: about the old heads around the country. We can say

388
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 4: we want to about Danny Hurley with Rick Patino, on

389
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 4: and on and on.

390
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: There are a bunch of great coaches, but I would

391
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: say the best coach man. I don't know.

392
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 4: Man, you kind of have to say in a weird way,

393
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 4: you have to say Patino because the national titles and

394
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 4: the way he's entered every spot.

395
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: Right, right, you know what, it's right. You can't get

396
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: away fromhim because every school he's been to, from a

397
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: Providence to Louisville to Kentucky. Even in the NBA he

398
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: did well with the Knicks. He did.

399
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like you kind of have to give him his

400
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: his props for being who he is, even though some

401
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 4: people hate him like he he definitely deserves to be

402
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 4: in that thing hate hi because he wins.

403
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: And it's hard to believe that he's like seventy three

404
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: years old and still coaching. He sits it into it.

405
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: He's he's adapted. A lot of guys can't do that,

406
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: but he's adapted.

407
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: He really has.

408
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: Boy, we're just getting started on a great day because

448
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: The way tire bind should be, the way football should

449
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: be spoken about and written about. He's the man, former

450
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: pro coaching scouting doing everything in the game of football.

451
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: Bucket Brooks. Here he is. We're gonna have to ask

452
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Bucky in about ten minutes. But here's the question I have.

453
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Max Crosby thing. How did that

454
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: go wrong? Because to Eric the Costa, the general manager

455
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: of the Baltimore Ravens, said that he had some big plans.

456
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: He said that he was talking to Trey Hendrickson's agent

457
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: on Monday, the day before Max Crown. He even added

458
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: the building on Tuesday. He said he wanted to pair

459
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: both of them on the Ravens. And what happened with Crosby.

460
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 4: So what standard in the league is you always have

461
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 4: to have a physical UH when you have a trade

462
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: right and if the trade doesn't become official until the

463
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 4: parties passed their physical and then you can agree to

464
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 4: the terms on the deal and those things. Well, Max

465
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: Rosby makes his way to Baltimore. Baltimore's medical team UH

466
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: decides that they deem him unfit to be able to play.

467
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 4: So they're given the option of being able to resend

468
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 4: the trade. Step away from the trade now. According to

469
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 4: Eric Pacosta, they were simultaneously talking to Trade Henderson.

470
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: They wanted to pay those guys together.

471
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 4: But in my time around the league, I've never seen

472
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 4: anything like this where you have a trade and a

473
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 4: quick signing, bang bang back to back.

474
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 2: It just doesn't feel right.

475
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 4: Even though we don't have anything that can that can

476
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 4: pin on the Ravens to say that, hey, what they

477
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 4: did was wrong or immoral or those things.

478
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 2: It just smells fishy, right.

479
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: But you know what, though, is you're a fan, and

480
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: especially if you're a Cincinnati Bengal fan. I mean, this

481
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: is great because right now they got to p o

482
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson. Bengal's gonna face him twice in the division

483
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: and basically he's not really happy how he was treated

484
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: with the Bengals, so you know he'll take it out

485
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: on Joe Burrow. There's no doubt about that. And I

486
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: don't think that the offensive line on Cincinnati could have

487
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: an easy task stopping him going after Joe Burrow's knees.

488
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: That's for sure. The Ravens went for the kill. That's

489
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: what they did.

490
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: They did. They did good for the kill.

491
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 4: But the biggest albatross around the deck has been their

492
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 4: pass rush or locked their up, so they wanted to

493
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: address it first, Max Crosby.

494
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: Then with Trey Hendrickson. One thing we talked about Trey Hendrickson,

495
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 2: he's been one of the best in the biz for

496
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 2: a long time.

497
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 4: Since twenty twenty one, he ranks near the top of

498
00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 4: the charts in the categories that matter percentage, He's second, sacks,

499
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 4: he's fourth. Ye had sixty one sacks over the last

500
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 4: four years. And this is guy who has missed some games,

501
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: but when he is there, in available, he's able to.

502
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 2: Get it done. Well, you've seen it. You've seen it.

503
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 2: There's a big addition for him.

504
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: You know, you talk about going for the kill. Let's

505
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: not forget what the Raiders have been doing, at least

506
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: trying to do. They probably gonna dreft Fernando Mendoza as

507
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: quarterback as the first pick. Okay, but they got the

508
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl setre Linda Baum painting big Bucks. Right now,

509
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: they're feeling pretty good about their future. Crossby's over there.

510
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: So I think the Raiders right now have a pretty

511
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: good future ahead of them. I think they do.

512
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, they have a great I would say

513
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: that they're well positioned to make a run, not this year,

514
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 4: but the next year. In the coming years they do.

515
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 4: They went out and had a great free agent class.

516
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: Mendoza is gonna be the presumptive number one overall pick

517
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 4: to lend the bomb, and those guys brought over, particularly

518
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 4: the defensive guys on to Kobe, Dean Kwai Walker to

519
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 4: bring back Max Crosby. Nam's a team that has a

520
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 4: different feel, a different competitiveness to it. You have to

521
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 4: feel good about that if you're a rageous fan, right you.

522
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: Know, I want to switch this right now to a

523
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: different sport. Because we talk about records and record books,

524
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: and you know, I've gone back and forth with myself

525
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: on this situation. Was Bam out of Betos? I mean,

526
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: he had eighty three points the other day we wrote

527
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: the record book, and you say, what's wrong with this list?

528
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain, Kobe Bryant at bam Adebato and I don't

529
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: get it, but it's true. We'll score one hundred points

530
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: of the game. Kobe had eighty one and last Tuesday

531
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Bam scored eighty three and this guy and people are

532
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: saying it's a scam. It's a sham. And what I

533
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: don't care what you say. It's almost like Miami University.

534
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: You win thirty one games. I don't care if you're

535
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: playing the sisters are poor, you're winning thirty one games.

536
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: He had thirty one points in the first quarter, forty

537
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: three points to half. Give him the give him the

538
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: credit he deserves. I'm shocked that he did it. Guy

539
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: never averaged twenty points a game, but he did it.

540
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: And look, I think that he had a lot of

541
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: help with his coach. I mean, there were fouling players,

542
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: and honestly, I don't think I'll ever do it again,

543
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: but I give him a lot of credit and I'm

544
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from it. The first first I did.

545
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: I think people who are down on out of Bayos

546
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: eighty three points, they did down because he passed Kobe Bryant.

547
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: That's why they're down.

548
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're down on him exactly because of that. I

549
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 4: don't cure who you're playing. I don't care what you're playing.

550
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 4: You scored eighty three points. That's very, very difficult to do.

551
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 4: And when you look at the game, people are talking

552
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 4: about the last four minutes and how that was handled.

553
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: But look at the game.

554
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 4: He had thirty one in the first quarter, he had

555
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: forty two and a half sixty plus seventy in the third quarter.

556
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 4: I mean he was on a heater, and they're talking

557
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 4: about the free throws and those things.

558
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 2: The files. But he still has to go to the

559
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 2: line and knock them down.

560
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 1: Forty three free throws forty three. You know, and I

561
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 1: looked this up back in nineteen sixty two, when Will

562
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: Chamberlain scored one hundred points against the Knicks, he was

563
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: twenty eight for thirty two. See forty three free throws.

564
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: It's amazing, it really is. Look, I think it's tremendous

565
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: that he did it. He passed Kobe. Look, this is

566
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: not one of those records that people talk about every

567
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: single day. The fact that Chamberlain scored one hundred. No

568
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: one even talks about that. Now his name came up

569
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: because of what Bam did the other day. I mean,

570
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: I thought when Chamberlain did that, and I wasn't around,

571
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,479
Speaker 1: I didn't see that game. I read about it. It

572
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: was in Hershey, Pennsylvania, it was on TV. No one

573
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: knew about it. As a matter of fact, when after

574
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 1: Bam did this, I had some photos of Chamberlain holding

575
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: a little cardboard sign with one hundred. They had no

576
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: video tam back then, and it was like, you know,

577
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: if you weren't there, people didn't even believe it. I mean,

578
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: it was a regular season game, but it was played

579
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 1: in Hershey, Pennsylvania against the Knicks. You know, you know,

580
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: it's the NBA was in the embryonic stage of that time.

581
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: No one knew, no one followed it.

582
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: I know there are some people that believe that it

583
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: never happened because there's no proof, Like, there's no proof

584
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: that it happen, there's nothing. You just have word of

585
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: mouth and a little picture with Willed in one hundred, right.

586
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: I think they're probably with no more than three thousand

587
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: people at the game. Anyway, it probably wasn't It's crazy.

588
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 4: See really, that's kind of crazy to think that of

589
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 4: all the things that we've seen from a historical perspective,

590
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 4: that will score in one hundred, we've never.

591
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 1: Seen that maybe one of the biggest feats, one of

592
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: the greatest feats in sports, and maybe no one will

593
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 1: ever accomplish that. I don't think they will, and no

594
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: one talks about it, and there's no proof to see it.

595
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it really is. I mean, when you think

596
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: about that, they've had film. You know, you can watch

597
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: these old time films, black and white films of Babe

598
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 1: Ruth hitting home runs, like in nineteen twenty seven. You

599
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: see that all the time on TV, but not to have.

600
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: In nineteen sixty two, some so a film of Wilts

601
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 1: scoring one hundred points against Johnny Green had sent the

602
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: jumping Johnny Green out of Michigan State playing center for

603
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: the New York Knicks. But there's no evidence, Like you say,

604
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: no evidence. But this guy at a bio. He played

605
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: University of Kentucky. He only once averaged twenty points a

606
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: game in the NBA. He never even came close to

607
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: scoring fifty points, let alone eighty three. So I'm going

608
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: to give him the props that he deserves. At first,

609
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: I was down. I thought it was like a scan.

610
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 1: They were fouling at the end. Hey, the Washington Wizards

611
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: a triple team and this guy in the fourth quarter.

612
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: They really were so it was tough. But I had

613
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: no idea that his girlfriend is Asia Wilson, the four

614
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: time MVP of the WNBA, who basically is probably a

615
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: better shooter than he is.

616
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I think it's being disrespectful, I mean when

617
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 4: you're talking about that, But maybe she's a great player

618
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 4: and very supportive and the relationship is kind of cool.

619
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 4: Given the way they met and the way they interacted

620
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 4: at the Olympics, he's been everything. Three point performance certainly

621
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 4: took people by surprise because he's not one that you

622
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: would expect as a bucket getter to go.

623
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 2: And put up those kinds of numbers.

624
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 4: But when you watched it, and I happened to be

625
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 4: watching it, like, look, it was a legit performance. He

626
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 4: was on a heater and right, the last stuff kind

627
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 4: of made it. The shenanigans or whatever on both sides

628
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 4: made it where people didn't take it seriously. But if

629
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 4: you really watched the game, you have to tip your

630
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 4: had to how he played and how he was on one.

631
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's a lot better talking about that and

632
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: watching something like that than having the players not playing

633
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: with the tanking stories. So I was kind of happy

634
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: about that. So I'm convinced. I'm sold. I'm all in

635
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: on that. And you're talk about, you know, a guy

636
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: played for a team in Florida. Let's move along to

637
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: a football now, Tua Tua playing in Florida for the Dolphins.

638
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 1: No longer. He's going to Atlanta. And my question is this,

639
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, number one, why did they get rid of him?

640
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: And number two what about Michael Lennox Junior. I know

641
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: he's coming off that ACL surgery, So maybe they needed

642
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But what was so bad with Tua? Why

643
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: is he gone from the Dolphins? Was it money?

644
00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 4: I mean it was a conversation and production didn't line up.

645
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 4: His conversation and his production certainly didn't line Today, over

646
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 4: ninety nine million dollars, they'll carry that in dead cap money.

647
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 4: But he didn't play well consistently for them in the

648
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 4: last couple of years.

649
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: It's been a bit of a dud.

650
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: And when you throw that with the injury history and

651
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: the amount of money he's making, you're a new regime.

652
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 4: That's the first place you look to clean up. Let's

653
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: get a better quarterback. Let's get someone who's gonna show

654
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 4: up all seventeen games and maybe provide better leadership in

655
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 4: the locker room than his predecessor.

656
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: So there's two will come in. I know there was

657
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: no comment out of the Falcons. They said, both him

658
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: and Penix Junior, you're gonna have to compete for the

659
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: starting job. I know Pennick is a little bit behind

660
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: the eight ball because he's coming off the ACL surgery,

661
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: but did they bring into it to be the number

662
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: one guy? I would think with that kind of money.

663
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: They probably is going to be the number one guy,

664
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: and they may let Pennix watch to a play perhaps

665
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, learn from him.

666
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 4: I mean there'd be some kind of competition, but I

667
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: would anticipate too a teme a boy little being the

668
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 4: starting quarterback, even though you bring you in on a

669
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: one point three million other deal. His experience should give

670
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: him the nod and a competition between Michael Pennix.

671
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: Now you've been around you, you've seen this as both

672
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: a player and working with pro teams, pro NFL teams.

673
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: What does that do to a player who is drafted,

674
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: had the job and now may very well lose it

675
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: when they trade a quarterback for someone in your position?

676
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think a player can go two ways.

677
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: He could sulk and get all poed, or he could

678
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: really get himself so I guess pumped up that say

679
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: this guy ain't taking my job. You know I'm going

680
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: to work my butt off. So you've seen that, haven't you.

681
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it could work both ways.

682
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: It can't work both ways.

683
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 4: You hope that you get the ultra competitive version that

684
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 4: shows up the guy that is not willing to just

685
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 4: hand over received his position. If you get that then

686
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 4: you have a chance for it to be better for

687
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 4: everyone involved.

688
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 2: But if you don't get that, then you just hand

689
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: in the job.

690
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 5: Boy.

691
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 4: Ultimately, it's on Michael Pennix to deliver the response that

692
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 4: he wants to deliver.

693
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 2: If he wants to.

694
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: Fight for the job, then he should step his game

695
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 4: up and be able to compete and fight for the job.

696
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 4: If not, we'll see to talk about Lowa step out

697
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 4: and run the team, a very talented team in Atlanta,

698
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 4: and he'll determine whether he continues on a QB one

699
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 4: if they have to go into the draft to find

700
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 4: another one.

701
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 1: It's kind of sad, really, I mean, and sometimes I

702
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: think some of these trades are made as an emotional

703
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: move to maybe put a kickstart under the guy that

704
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: you already have, right, I would think so. I mean,

705
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: I was shocked that the Dolphins dumped on Tour. I

706
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 1: thought that guy's talented, I really did.

707
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 4: I mean, he is talented. I mean, he was talented

708
00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 4: enough to be a top ten pick, but he hasn't

709
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 4: played like an upper echelon quarterback and he's getting paid

710
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 4: to be an elite quarterback. And the worst thing that

711
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 4: you can do is pay someone to be elite and

712
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 4: they don't play at an elite status. And that's where

713
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 4: we're at with two. It was not playing like an

714
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 4: elite player, and it just makes it difficult to build

715
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 4: your team around someone who is overpaid, overvalued at the spot, no.

716
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: Doubt about that. He's Bucky Brooks and he's a leite.

743
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 8: my own first question on this first book. So, since

744
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 8: it is the Oscars, I don't know a whole lot

745
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 8: of movies that are going in by Do you know

746
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 8: one in particular which I thought was fantastic piece of

747
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 8: art here, Sinners? How many awards do we think that

748
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 8: Sinners is gonna total by the end of this book?

749
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: Okay, so they have sixteen nominations. I'm going to say

750
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 4: they walk away with ten. I think they have a

751
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 4: very productive night.

752
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: I think they end up winning ten out of the

753
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 2: sixteen they it nominated for.

754
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 7: I like that. I like that answer. I think they're

755
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 7: gonna win.

756
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: Keep a recon of that. We'll keep score on this score. Yeah,

757
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: score please, because I want to prove to the world

758
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: that Bucky Brooks knows all football and everything else.

759
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 7: Legit. No, I'll keep a record on that effort today, and.

760
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: If he doesn't do well, forget if we won't talk

761
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: about it next week.

762
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,680
Speaker 8: As usually that is usually how I'll go, all right,

763
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 8: well next day, right, next up? First, we do have

764
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 8: a sports question here to kind of divvy it out.

765
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 8: So who will have more success next season? Gino Smith

766
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 8: as a Jet or Tua as a Falcon?

767
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 4: Ooh, I would say two, because Tua has a better

768
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 4: overall team. Uh so give me two on that. Just

769
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 4: with Drake London and Kyle Pitts and b John Robinson,

770
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: he's just better set up to have success than the jests.

771
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 8: All right, sweet, honestly I agree with that too. Just

Speaker 7: never heard of them, which I'm sorry.

802
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: Now the debates online are raging between Timothy shallow A

803
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 4: over Michael B.

804
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:23,360

808
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 4: take Chlamy and probably one of the tightest races that

809
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: we've seen for that award.

810
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,279

812
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,879

813
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: got all the popularity in this corner too. I think

814
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: not only is he good, but I think that the

815
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: movie's gonna put him over the top. Sinners will put

816
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: him over the top.

817
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:53,400

855
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: how many games will play? How many games will Crosby

856
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: play this year? Who's gonna play more games? Trey hendricksoner,

857
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: Max Crosby. That's the question.

858
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:51,040

859
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:55,279

00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 2: They made him sit.

861
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,600
Speaker 4: Down the last two games, but he normally always plays.

862
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,760

Speaker 1: Selection Sunday they got the NBA going on World Baseball

888
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: Classic and you got Venezuela beating in Japan. I have

889
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: no idea. Look, I don't want to be one of

890
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: those guys saying that they should do this to shoot that.

891
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be that kind of a critique

892
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: on a critic on that. But I wish the World

893
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: Baseball Class it could have been done at a different time.

894
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know when it could be done, but in

895
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: conjunction with March Madness, and also with spring training where

896
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: a lot of these players in the WBC opting out

897
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: because they didn't want to hurt themselves in the regular season,

898
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: there had to be a better time for that. Don't

899
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: you think I would think so?

900
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 4: No? I mean I don't know when you go play

901
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 4: in January. No, to me, I think this is the

902
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 4: best time to play it. And I think it's the

903
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 4: best time to play because there are a lot of

904
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 4: people who are begin in and to get interested in

905
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 4: baseball because spring training is around, and to be able

906
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 4: to appreciate a different style of game.

907
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:07,919
Speaker 2: And watching some games.

908
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 4: The other night, my son, we just talked about how

909
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 4: fun it is, how festive it is, the energies you

910
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 4: can feel through the TV.

911
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,160
Speaker 2: It's just a different thing. And we have been conditioned

912
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 2: that baseball.

913
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 4: Baseball should be a very sterile environment, a game that

914
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 4: lacks a lot of outward emotion. And the World Baseball

915
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 4: Classic gets shown you that there's a different way to

916
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 4: play the game. And these teams across the world are

917
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 4: definitely playing a different way, a little more pizazz, a

918
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 4: little more fun, just a different experience for the viewer

919
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 4: when you're sitting back and watching these games.

920
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the traditionalists who follow baseball, they've put their

921
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 1: thumbs and their nose up when guys are flipping their

922
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 1: bats and whatever it may be, I have no problem.

923
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 1: I love that flipping. I think it's great. I think

924
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: it answered a little more of a excitement to the game.

925
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I have no problem with that. I don't

926
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,479
Speaker 1: know why people. I guess people who follow the game

927
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: back in the fifties and sixties, those are the same

928
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: people when you see films back in the day, they

929
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: used to go to baseball games with shirts and ties

930
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 1: and hats. Really they really did. I mean, things change,

931
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: You got to evolve with the times. I don't have

932
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: any problem whatsoever with bat flipping. A lot of people do.

933
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I don't know why they think

934
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: it's a disrespectful thing, But I don't know what. What's

935
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: your take on bat flipping?

936
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 2: Love it?

937
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 4: Wish I could do it. It's the one thing that

938
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 4: I wish I could. I could play in the game

939
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 4: and do I would. I would be all about it.

940
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 4: Like I think it's great watching the Dominican, which is

941
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:35,439
Speaker 4: gonna be a tough matchup for the United States. Watching

942
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,280
Speaker 4: the Dominican and all their players uh Tatis and Vletimer

943
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 4: Guerero and Juan Soto. They have fun and in fact,

944
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 4: I was envious because they make the game looks so

945
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,439
Speaker 4: much fun that you want to participate, You want to play,

946
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 4: you want to be a part of it.

947
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been great to watch it is.

948
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: It has been it really is. I love it and

949
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 1: I watch it. Usually I would listen to baseball on radio,

950
00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: but this is making me watch it on TV. It

951
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 1: really is because I just want to see these guys

952
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: play and play together. Now I ask you a question.

953
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever asked you this before. You

954
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: got so many things kind of meshing together at once.

955
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: But I'm going to ask you if you had a

956
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: choice to go to a final four, the NBA Finals,

957
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, the World Series, and I'll even throw

958
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: in the Kentucky Derby, and you were given like the

959
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 1: best seats in the house gratis you have to pay,

960
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: Where would you go? What will be the event? You'd

961
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 1: want to go to?

962
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 2: Final four?

963
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: When super Bowl?

964
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Final four would be the thing that I

965
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 4: want to do. And the reason why is because it's

966
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 4: the unknown. You get four teams, you don't know who's

967
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 4: gonna be there, you don't know how it's gonna play out.

968
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 4: To me, is a very unique experience. I would love

969
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 4: to go to a final four.

970
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: I went to the Final four when the Cincinnati was

971
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: playing Michigan, and it was great because I was like

972
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: three rolls behind the bench. But I wouldn't want to

973
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: go to one of these events sitting up in the

974
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: balcony because you're better off watching it on TV. Then,

975
00:45:56,480 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, you hate to be a pig, but that's

976
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: just the way I am a pig. If I'm going

977
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: to go, I want to get good seats, you know.

978
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: And even this day and age, the press box isn't

979
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 1: that good because press box and basketball used to be

980
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: courtside for the press. Not they shove the press upstairs

981
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: because they sell those seats on court side. So I

982
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: kind of kind of stopped going to college basketball games

983
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,280
Speaker 1: because I'd rather watch it on TV. However, this is crazy.

984
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: When I went to see Caitlin Clarke playing, I drove

985
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,959
Speaker 1: from Cincinnati to Bloomington, Indiana to see her play. When

986
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: Iowa played Indiana, Indiana gave me a court side seats.

987
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: That was great. Other than that, I mean, I was

988
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: thinking about that I might drive out there. What if

989
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: my ticket, my media pass was up on the bleachers,

990
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: but it was downstairs so that it worked out well.

991
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:43,840
Speaker 1: And I hate to be a pig like that, but still,

992
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 1: in all you know, you want to get a good

993
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 1: view basically, that's it everybody does.

994
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, everybody wants to get a good view.

995
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: You want to be able to see the game, you know,

996
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 4: if you make the trip, you want to be able

997
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 4: to see the game. You want to be able to

998
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 4: get close enough to kind of feel the passing and

999
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:00,760
Speaker 4: the intensity from the players.

1000
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I understand that these next two weeks are great.

1001
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 4: When you talk about the weekend coming up, like, just

1002
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,280
Speaker 4: how many people are going to pay so closed attention

1003
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: to basketball from Thursday through Sunday. It should just be

1004
00:47:12,920 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: a lot of fun, a lot of fun. It's a

1005
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 4: lot of fun to engage a.

1006
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: Lot of people. Don't go to work either of these

1007
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: days Thursday and Friday, stay home from work, just make

1008
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: it a holiday. They just don't go. Or if you

1009
00:47:22,600 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 1: do go to work, you're busy on your computer looking

1010
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:30,080
Speaker 1: at the games. That's basically true is production, production goes down,

1011
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: production wanes a little bit on Thursday and Friday. But

1012
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: that's fine. You know, what are you gonna do? Just say,

1013
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, how many games do you go to

1014
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: a year? I mean, I know you were involved with

1015
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: the NFL, but other than that, do you go to

1016
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,000
Speaker 1: a lot of high school college games. We'll not much.

1017
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: It just kind of depends on where I'm at and

1018
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 2: where I'm going. But I would love to take in

1019
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: a game whenever I'm on on the road, whenever I'm

1020
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 2: out and about.

1021
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to take it in. I want to

1022
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:53,359
Speaker 4: see what's happening, what's going up.

1023
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,320
Speaker 1: That's when you're not going to the club in Atlanta.

1024
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah right, yeah, Degitlemen's Club.

1025
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: Are you just going there for wings anyway? I know that, okay,

1026
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,200
Speaker 1: But we want to talk about the there it goes.

1027
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: NFL is always in the news, no doubt about that,

1028
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: and you've found some news there, Bucket Brooks. You did

1029
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,360
Speaker 1: the free agents that were overlooked, free agents that were overlooked,

1030
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: the other Big seven, and you had that at NFL

1031
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 1: dot com this week was great. First of all, why

1032
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: were they overlooked? I kind of studied the seven that

1033
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,759
Speaker 1: were overlooked that you picked, and I think it may

1034
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: have been either salary or age. It's a lot of

1035
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: guys pushing thirty or even thirty. Is that the reason why?

1036
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 4: Uh No, I mean I just think overlooked in terms

1037
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 4: of people not paying attention to them, not giving them

1038
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 4: enough love in terms of their future contributions. So to me,

1039
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 4: that's that's what we're talking about when we're talking about

1040
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 4: overlooking certain aspects of the team and those six So

1041
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 4: that's where that's where I was getting at.

1042
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: This may be the best work you've done. I really

1043
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: mean that. And I love what you do on NFL

1044
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: dot Com on a weekly baby, But you know you

1045
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 1: have the drafts and the possible draft picks and things

1046
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: like that that my drafts. That's okay, and that's worked,

1047
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: there's no doubt in my mind. But when you pick

1048
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: out seven guys that are overlooked as free agents, I

1049
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 1: got to ask you. I wouldn't know where to start.

1050
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,240
Speaker 1: How do you do it? How do you do this situation?

1051
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 4: You go through and you look at all the lists,

1052
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 4: and you look at some of the guys who can

1053
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 4: give their team's major bang for their book and not

1054
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 4: even looking at the contract, but guys who are great fits,

1055
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 4: great pieces of the pulls in their respective squads.

1056
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: And I just went there on through and I.

1057
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 4: Looked at seven names, seven names that I haven't really

1058
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,479
Speaker 4: heard about buzzing on the newscast, whether it's radio or TV,

1059
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 4: and I was like, hey, man, let's take this challenge. On,

1060
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 4: Let's find some guys that are going to play very

1061
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 4: very well unexpectedly.

1062
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: Do you get any feedback on this when people see

1063
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: this list? Do other other teams contact you and say

1064
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: good job? Or how do you get this?

1065
00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 5: So?

1066
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,799
Speaker 1: What are you talking about something like that? Did they

1067
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 1: contact you at all?

1068
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: No, they won't hit me upon the immediate thing.

1069
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 4: You'll see some things later and people will talk about

1070
00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 4: things down the line if it's true or not true

1071
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 4: or whatever. But I just believe like if if you

1072
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 4: pour into it, you research it, most people can respect

1073
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 4: that part of it, even if they disagree with the opinion.

1074
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: Right, I hear what you're saying. Let's take a look

1075
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: at some of these guys. Because the first pick is

1076
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 1: Pancake Pat and he's going back with his former coach

1077
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: from Bolton where he's going to the New York Giants.

1078
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: And I love the running game of the Giants right

1079
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: now because I love Cam Scattabo. I mean, I love

1080
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 1: that guy. I just think that he's all in one

1081
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ten percent effort every game. I really do.

1082
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: So they got themselves now another I guess lead blocker

1083
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 1: in the backfield, six time Pro Bowl fullback, Right, So

1084
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,480
Speaker 1: tell me a little bit more about Patrick.

1085
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 4: Well, to think about it, if you look at the

1086
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens, they rush for more yards than anyone else

1087
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 4: the National Football League since Patrick has been their fullback.

1088
00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 4: He does a great job of blowing holes, paving the

1089
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 4: way for the runners that are going behind him.

1090
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: And he brings a little bit of an attitude. And

1091
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 2: given what.

1092
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 4: The Baltimore I mean, the Baltimore Ravens have been under

1093
00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 4: Jim John Harbar and what the Giants want to be

1094
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 4: under him, he is able to convey some of those

1095
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 4: messages on and off the field. But as a player,

1096
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 4: he's everything that you look for in the lead blocker.

1097
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 2: That's why you have to have him. If you're one,

1098
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 2: he seems you got to make sure that you fell

1099
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 2: out with him.

1100
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,440
Speaker 1: Okay, the guy was a former defensive tackle turned fullbacker.

1101
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:33,840
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I always thought, at least the last

1102
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: decade or so, in the National Football League, the fullback

1103
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: position has become like the dinosaurs become extinct. Why is

1104
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 1: that teams don't have fullbacks now? I don't understand why.

1105
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 4: Well, when you put three wide receivers on the field,

1106
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 4: one player has to come off and a lot of

1107
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 4: times as to full back, and because teams weren't operating

1108
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 4: under center, operating in.

1109
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 2: The gun, it was kind of a I won't to

1110
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: say a meaningless.

1111
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,160
Speaker 4: Position, but a position that was a low priority position.

1112
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 4: People teams begin to think that, oh, we can use

1113
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: one of our second or third tight ends to play

1114
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,799
Speaker 4: that role. And so there was a lack of appreciation

1115
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 4: inside and outside the.

1116
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: League for the fullback.

1117
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 4: But when you look at the teams to run the football,

1118
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 4: the teams that operating the center fullback is a big

1119
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 4: part of the success. That's why you have to have

1120
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,720
Speaker 4: those big bangers at a full back spot.

1121
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: Okay, what are the teams at the top of you Hey,

1122
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: what are the teams besides like the Giants right now,

1123
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: looks like you're getting getting recard and it got the

1124
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: cam in the backfield. They're gonna go to a power

1125
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: running game right now, which basically Harbard did in Baltimore.

1126
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: So he's gonna copy that offense. They're gonna do that

1127
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: in New York. But what are the teams have a

1128
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:39,879
Speaker 1: fullback that they use. I'm just trying to think who

1129
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:41,960
Speaker 1: has a full I think the Chiefs have a fullback.

1130
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't know about the teams, but I know John's

1131
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,320
Speaker 4: brother Jim and the charges. They operate with a fullback

1132
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 4: because he just took alec ingold. He came from Miami

1133
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 4: and joined them down there with Mike McDaniels. When you

1134
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 4: look at the San Francisco forty nine ers, they have

1135
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 4: a full back account check. Typically, if you're a team

1136
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 4: that employs two back stuff or under center old school

1137
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 4: Shanahan principals, you better have a full back in the vault.

1138
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. So he's he's number one

1139
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: out of the big seventh. You pick the guys that

1140
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: were maybe overlooked, and they're no longer a secret read

1141
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 1: blank and Ship a safety. Okay, now going to the Texans,

1142
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,919
Speaker 1: tell me about him a little bit. And these guys

1143
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 1: aren't making a hell of a lot of money because

1144
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Ricard's making by two years seven point six mil,

1145
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 1: and Blanket Ship's making. What does something like the twenty

1146
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: four milis, which really and truly in this day and

1147
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: eight for three years, it's not that much money.

1148
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 2: No, it's not that much.

1149
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 4: But what he is, man, he's a perfect traffic cop, former, undrafted,

1150
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 4: made his way in Philly, get cracked rotation was really

1151
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,439
Speaker 4: solid over three four years as a starter, and he's

1152
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 4: gonna take that same steady quality and he's gonna have

1153
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 4: a defense that can be a little emotionally charged at

1154
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 4: time in Houston. His ability to play as a center fielder,

1155
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:00,360
Speaker 4: he can come down herell in the box, He'll he

1156
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 4: has everything. He is a really solid player. Most people

1157
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: don't respect him because he just didn't end of the

1158
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:06,919
Speaker 4: league in a certain way.

1159
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: Okay, now you got the charges coming up here they

1160
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: picked up. I believe I think you wrote about a

1161
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: tight end. Who they get this tight end? I forget already.

1162
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: Who they get you talk about? You say the Chargers? Yeah,

1163
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Oh they got Charlie Coolar.

1164
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,919
Speaker 4: Charlie Cola, to tight end from Baltimore is the third

1165
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,520
Speaker 4: tight end in Baltimore, but he could play the number

1166
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 4: two role in LA. And the reason why that role

1167
00:54:29,200 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 4: is so important because typically when you have two tight

1168
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 4: ends on the field, you have a flex guy and

1169
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 4: a traditional why guy. The why guy does all the

1170
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 4: dirty work.

1171
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: Well. Colar is a guy who actually comes.

1172
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 4: Over viewed as a little more of a blocking back,

1173
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 4: but he has big time pass catching ability doesn't show

1174
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,479
Speaker 4: up in the numbers that you've seen like he hasn't

1175
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 4: put up big numbers, but if you go back and

1176
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 4: look at his tape coming out, man, he's a guy

1177
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 4: who's sneaky, could get down the scene, could make things happen.

1178
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: He'll get opportunity to showcases is full. Arsenal as the

1179
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:58,200
Speaker 2: leader of the team.

1180
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: I may be missed though, but Colas, a pretty big guy.

1181
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,200
Speaker 1: Is in something like two fifty six to six something

1182
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 1: like that. He's big.

1183
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's big, and he's a really effective run blocker

1184
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 4: and he makes it happen. But he can catch the ball,

1185
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 4: he can get down the scene. It's just a matter

1186
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,319
Speaker 4: of opportunities. He'll get more opportunities with a quarterback. They're

1187
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 4: a quarterback that really wants to attack the mid little field.

1188
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, most of these guys we mentioned thus far

1189
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: are pushing thirty all right, so they're kind of like

1190
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: the in the peak of their career, but still in

1191
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: all I guess they will let go. But we got

1192
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills picking up Chauncey Gardner Johnson one year

1193
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: for six mil. This guy is going to help him

1194
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 1: at safety, and I think that was one of the

1195
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: weaknesses in that ball club. You know defensively, they had

1196
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:41,959
Speaker 1: some problems, So I think it's going to help him.

1197
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 4: He will help because he not only would bring a

1198
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 4: veteran presence, but he brings a little edge to him.

1199
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,719
Speaker 4: If you've been around him, you ever seen him, man,

1200
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 4: the swagger is infectious.

1201
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 2: You take on that.

1202
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 4: But also, man, he's an enforcer with great ball skills.

1203
00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:02,319
Speaker 4: Two seasons in Philadelphia had twelve intercepts, six disappears, come

1204
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 4: back and gets another six, so he understands how to

1205
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:08,359
Speaker 4: take the ball away. He goes to Chicago last year

1206
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 4: in the middle year and helps that defense, kind of

1207
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 4: makes some plays, finishes.

1208
00:56:11,640 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 2: It's the number one defense and turnovers and takeaways.

1209
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 4: Really good player, and he's feisty, and we think about

1210
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 4: being feisty and physical. There's always a place in the

1211
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 4: league for those kinds of guys.

1212
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: Now you would know this because you played the game. Now,

1213
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: you played the position. Okay, what makes a guy a

1214
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,759
Speaker 1: great guy? To get it? Is it luck?

1215
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 5: You know?

1216
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: Getting interceptions in the National Footall League is a style

1217
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:42,040
Speaker 1: of play? Is it just watching the quarterbacks eyes? How

1218
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: does one guy almost lead the league and interceptions? Yeah,

1219
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: And he's always been known as a guy could get

1220
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: a lot of interception. What separates him from other defensive backs.

1221
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 2: I would say it's a little bit of everything.

1222
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 4: It is the anticipation in tirement, is the diagnosis skills,

1223
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 4: being able to diagnose what's going on. And then it

1224
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,760
Speaker 4: takes some courage to go for it, to put yourself

1225
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,839
Speaker 4: out there and to go for it. It does take

1226
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 4: some courage, and he is willing to go. So I

1227
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 4: dig it. Man, he's a terrific player and you have

1228
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:14,760
Speaker 4: to have some of those players to make it happen.

1229
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: All right, now, who's this guy on the Tampa Bay Bucks?

1230
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: A defensive tackle like Quentin Muhammad? One year six million

1231
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: dollars and they said the Bucks, as you wrote, eighteenth

1232
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: most sacks in the league a year ago. So obviously

1233
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: they're looking at the bolst of that. They have thirty

1234
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 1: seven sacks the entire season last year. So they got this. Guys,

1235
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: we'll see what's gonna happen right now. But a good deal.

1236
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: What's to deal with him? I don't know anything about him.

1237
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, it's a great deal. And it's a great

1238
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 4: deal because he's gut his game right, Yeah, Like he

1239
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 4: found his game and his game is about energy and relentlessness,

1240
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 4: and the way he comes off has a little mix

1241
00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 4: of power and bursts that allow him to get there.

1242
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 4: But the best thing that he does is he just

1243
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,360
Speaker 4: doesn't stop on the play. And when you don't stop

1244
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:06,959
Speaker 4: him the play, you have an opportunity to make.

1245
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 2: Dullas as on just garbage what they call garbage place.

1246
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:13,040
Speaker 2: He has that. That's why it's really going.

1247
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Now, let's go to the Jets. Jet's get a

1248
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 1: cornerback right now one year with the max value of

1249
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: five point five million Nashaun White and uh, you know,

1250
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:28,080
Speaker 1: with the Jets right now, I guess anything would be

1251
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: an improvement. I mean there's so many holes. I guess

1252
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: that in that lineup, you know where they're going to

1253
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: a Gino Smith the quarterback. I don't know if that's

1254
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 1: gonna help them or not. I just don't know. I mean,

1255
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: he had some years in Seattle which was successful. The

1256
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: last year was a bus for him. I don't know.

1257
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,320
Speaker 1: But is right going to make a difference in the

1258
00:58:46,360 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: backfield at corner Yeah?

1259
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, he certainly make a difference. All those

1260
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 4: guys will make a difference and it helps. Like some

1261
00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 4: people talk about the rush impact on the coverage. Some

1262
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 4: people talk about the coverage impact in the rush. You

1263
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,040
Speaker 4: can't get enough for good players, and sometimes you need

1264
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 4: these veteran players to come and fill in some of

1265
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:05,400
Speaker 4: these voice.

1266
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: All right, they call him. You wrote this said, he's

1267
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: a rare fine because he's a natural bump and run

1268
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 1: corner for morons like me. What does that mean? Bump

1269
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 1: and run corner.

1270
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 2: Oh, he wants to get in your face. At Atlanta scrimmage.

1271
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 2: He wants to bump you, he wants to run with you,

1272
00:59:22,040 --> 00:59:23,720
Speaker 2: he wants to take away all the easy throws. He

1273
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 2: wants to make you earn everything.

1274
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 4: And No Sean Wright is rarefied because he does have

1275
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 4: the link and stuff to do that.

1276
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 2: At the Lina scrimmage.

1277
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: Not the fastest kid, but its instincts and awareness are

1278
00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 4: really good. You take that same mentality and put it

1279
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 4: in play in zone where you can rough up a

1280
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 4: wide receiver kind of take your time and cover two

1281
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 4: and then release him and then read what the second

1282
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 4: receiver inside receiver is doing it react off of him.

1283
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 4: Very easy, teach you more, harder to abbit. It's easy

1284
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 4: to teach a player like No Sean to do those things.

1285
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 4: Harder to get some of that out of him.

1286
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,080
Speaker 1: You know why I question if he's going to do

1287
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: any good for the Jets because I don't look at

1288
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: the way he played. I mean, you would know if

1289
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 1: he's good bet or whatever it might be, because you could

1290
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:13,440
Speaker 1: tell you got the eye of that. I look at

1291
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: the salary. I mean, you're getting five mil in this

1292
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 1: day and age in the NFL. At five million dollars

1293
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:23,200
Speaker 1: a year, that's you know, just average, really maybe below average.

1294
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: So you know, to me, you're getting five mili. You're

1295
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: not that good. Maybe I'm crazy for saying that, but

1296
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: five million dollars is bottom of the barrel salary, right.

1297
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're crazy for seeing that. What you're

1298
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 4: seeing in free agency, and this is what has come

1299
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 4: out of it. You're seeing in the first twenty four

1300
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 4: to forty eight hours people are signing these lucrative multi

1301
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 4: year deals. After you get past that window and the

1302
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 4: league year opens, everyone only cares about right now, just

1303
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 4: this year, and you're seeing a rush, I mean a

1304
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 4: tremendous amount of teams that are just signing guys to

1305
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 4: one year deals because it's clean for both parties.

1306
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 2: You play well, you get paid.

1307
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 4: You don't I'm on to the next It just allows

1308
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 4: you to focus on this team this year. You can't

1309
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 4: start worrying too much about future years.

1310
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 2: You mess it up.

1311
01:01:16,080 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 1: Okay, less but not least been going to rush through

1312
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: this one a maze the set. They're going to the

1313
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,880
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions. Detroit Lions. He just said that their big

1314
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 1: time center retired last year and this guy's getting three

1315
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: years twenty five mil. Okay, he's probably decent, right, twenty

1316
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:33,040
Speaker 1: six years of age going to the Detroit Lions. Cad Mays.

1317
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean so like Mays comes over is a

1318
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 4: guy who started a ton They need to solidify the

1319
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 4: interior of their line. They want to get back to

1320
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 4: bullying people at the point of attack. He gives them

1321
01:01:43,080 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 4: some of that athletic nimble. Just a nice fit and

1322
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 4: let's be honest, he hasn't given up a sack in

1323
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 4: two years. So you have that kind of record on

1324
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,720
Speaker 4: top of the dimensions and being able to control the

1325
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 4: for a dominant ring game.

1326
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to sign them up. He fits what

1327
01:01:57,720 --> 01:01:58,600
Speaker 2: the lines are looking for.

1328
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: But out at least I talk about the Detroit Lions.

1329
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: Have they peaked and are they going downhill now or

1330
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 1: not going to see the success they've had over the

1331
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: last three seasons, because they've lost a lot, and it's

1332
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: just they're not going to be the same ball club.

1333
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 1: And obviously that their offensive coordinating new coach of the Bears.

1334
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 1: I think that was a tremendous loss for them. I

1335
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: really do.

1336
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1337
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,320
Speaker 4: I mean there's a lot of loss, But sometimes losing

1338
01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 4: a lot doesn't mean that it's gonna be all bad.

1339
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:30,520
Speaker 4: Sometimes things happen in transition. Looking to Patriots and how

1340
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 4: many guys they brought in and yet they come within

1341
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 4: a whisker of winning the Super Bowl.

1342
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 2: So it can happen. It can happen pretty quick.

1343
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 4: That you got to have some luck, but you're going

1344
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 4: to have all the things go your way for it

1345
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 4: to get done.

01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,960
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings signed quarterback Kyler Murray. I guess they

1386
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: got him out of the room where he's playing the

1387
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 1: video games. He was a free agent from the Arizona Cardinals.

1388
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: So the question is, well two parts. Really, why would

1389
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings sign him when they have JJ McCarthy And next,

1390
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:48,919
Speaker 1: what's the status with JJ McCarthy, What happens to him?

1391
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: What's going to go on here?

1392
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 2: Well, I love him.

1393
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,400
Speaker 4: Move by the Vikings to sign Calum Murray Cala Murray's

1394
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 4: number one overall pick.

1395
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 2: Calum Murray is a unique athlete at.

1396
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:00,800
Speaker 4: The quarterback position. Look This is the guy who was

1397
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 4: a top ten pick in baseball given his baseball exploits

1398
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,080
Speaker 4: at Oklahoma, but it's number one overall pick in football.

1399
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 4: He has played at a high level. He was the

1400
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: offensive Rookie of the Year. He's two time Pro bowler.

1401
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 4: The last three years have been a roller coaster ride

1402
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 4: due to injuries and such, so he hasn't been able

1403
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 4: to get on the field and really play consistently the

1404
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 4: way that he played early in his career. But make

1405
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,680
Speaker 4: no mistake about it, when you put him and put

1406
01:05:27,720 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 4: him on the conversation on the radar for your team

1407
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:31,919
Speaker 4: as the starting quarterback, he's going to be your starting

1408
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 4: quarterback when he walks in. That's the expectation he's going

1409
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 4: to have. That's the expectation that the team should have

1410
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 4: for Jji McCarthy. You con teague to develop him, But

1411
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,080
Speaker 4: to me, this is a clear acknowledgment that you're worried

1412
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 4: and concerned that he can't get your team over the top,

1413
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,520
Speaker 4: either through his own performance or his lack of availability.

1414
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 4: He's opened the gap for that, and because he opened

1415
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,440
Speaker 4: the door, now it's on him to fix it.

1416
01:05:55,840 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: He has to fill And we talked about this early

1417
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: on with two Pennix going to Atlanta and two is

1418
01:06:02,280 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: over there, and it's going to be a battle to

1419
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 1: see who's going to be the starting quarterback. I think

1420
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: it's a little different here in Minnesota. Kyler Murray's got

1421
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the job. I don't think it's going to be a

1422
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 1: race to see who's going to be the starting quarterback

1423
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: because McCarthy had his chance and basically he didn't get

1424
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 1: the job done. Really, So the problem is right now,

1425
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: as far as Minnesota's concerned, would other teams trade for

1426
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. In fact, would the Minnesota Vikings even trade him?

1427
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 1: So that's the question right now because I think the

1428
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: quarterback job for the Minnesota Vikings right now belongs to

1429
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray.

1430
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's a safe assumption.

1431
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 4: And when they see the talent play out, he's more

1432
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:44,080
Speaker 4: talented than JJ McCarthy. Even though I like JJ McCarthy,

1433
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 4: Caler Murray is a superior talent. And when you see

1434
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 4: the talent, the toughness, and then you see how koc

1435
01:06:51,360 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 4: mix it up his tactics, there's a lot of success

1436
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 4: on the horizon for Calamarray Company.

1437
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 1: Okay, And right now you've got to admit that the

1438
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: Vikings made a mistake. They made a mistake getting rid

1439
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: of Sam Donald in place of JJ McCarthy. Sam Donald flourished, okay,

1440
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 1: And I think that maybe Kevin O'Connell, the coach of Minnesota,

1441
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 1: who's an offensive genius, maybe thought maybe too much of

1442
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: himself where he thought he could develop JJ McCarthy into

1443
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: a first rate quarterback, which he could not, And he

1444
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: didn't do much passing when he was in Michigan. They

1445
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: should have known that. Don't you think that was a

1446
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,120
Speaker 1: running offense in Michigan.

1447
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's important that you put guys in

1448
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 2: roles that they're comfortable with. And for J. J.

1449
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 4: McCarthy, he was a game manager who was effective running

1450
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 4: Michigan's offense.

1451
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 2: That's it.

1452
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 4: When you looked at the numbers. He was really good

1453
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:39,240
Speaker 4: on third down, he's really good in the red zone.

1454
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 4: He just didn't get it done. I mean he didn't.

1455
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 4: I mean, to whom much is given, much is required,

1456
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 4: and he didn't live up to his status.

1457
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:49,560
Speaker 2: Is a tough up pick.

1458
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: The problem with Kyler Murray, I don't think is his

1459
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: football skill level. I think it's everything but football, because

1460
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: I think he's gotten the bed rap and maybe on

1461
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: his own maybe it's because of what he has done

1462
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: or not done that he went to his own private

1463
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: room in Arizona. Who's playing video games over there? But

1464
01:08:07,480 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: if you look at the stats, and I got some

1465
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 1: stats here comparing JJ McCarthy to Kyler Murray since twenty nineteen,

1466
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray has a completion rate of almost sixty eight

1467
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: percent and JJ McCarthy fifty seven percent, that's it right there.

1468
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, basically, Kyler Murray is the better player. And basically,

1469
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:32,640
Speaker 1: also if they did trade JJ McCarthy, you got to

1470
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: admit that the Vikings would fail and have failed to

1471
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,719
Speaker 1: land the franchise quarterback that they wanted in the twenty

1472
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: twenty four draft.

1473
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is tough, right, So so many different things.

1474
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 4: So JJ McCarthy, I think he's more talented. Didn't you

1475
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 4: give him credit for? There are a lot of people

1476
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,640
Speaker 4: who couldn't see through some of the stuff that he

1477
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 4: was having to deal with in Michigan in terms of

1478
01:08:54,680 --> 01:08:56,680
Speaker 4: power renting attack, being able to stay locked in and

1479
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 4: focus on the tasking hand out of some of that.

1480
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 4: When it comes to now, it's about being able to

1481
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 4: take what koc wants.

1482
01:09:05,960 --> 01:09:08,400
Speaker 2: From him and make those x's and os come to life.

1483
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 2: Do one thing we know about.

1484
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 4: KOC he can take a different style quarterback and find

1485
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 4: a way to be successful.

1486
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 2: He's been successful with JJ McCarthy. JJ McCarthy's because issues.

1487
01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 4: He hasn't been around, just hasn't been around to become

1488
01:09:19,600 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 4: a part of the team. So there's a disc I mean,

1489
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 4: there's just a bit of a disconnect between him and

1490
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 4: the team simply because like either faulty execution.

1491
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:30,680
Speaker 2: Or just lack of experience.

1492
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:34,120
Speaker 4: But clearly there's a disconnect between him and the star players.

1493
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: I would say this, I think there's a little bit

1494
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 1: of an advantage right now for JJ McCarthy over column arena.

1495
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,760
Speaker 1: Number one. He knows the offense, which I don't know

1496
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:43,800
Speaker 1: if makes that happens for a difference, but at least

1497
01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: he has that been there, knows that. Number two. I

1498
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: think he has a better off season than he had

1499
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: a year ago because he's got about eight to ten

1500
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:54,120
Speaker 1: games under his belt as an NFL quarterback, which he

1501
01:09:54,160 --> 01:09:56,720
Speaker 1: didn't have going into last year. So he's got that

1502
01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: going from And also, I read this or maybe you

1503
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: could help me out with this one. He has decided

1504
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to work now in the offseason with former NFL quarterback

1505
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 1: John Beck. All Right, what's the deal with John Beck?

1506
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 1: I mean he's he like one of those guys who's

1507
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: an outstanding teacher of quarterbacks. Have you heard of him?

1508
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1509
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 4: No, I remember John Beck going all the way back

1510
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 4: to when he played at BYU, Like, Yeah, he's a

1511
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 4: solid teacher. He's been with a lot of guys who've

1512
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 4: gone on to the pros. And what Beck can offer

1513
01:10:23,320 --> 01:10:28,800
Speaker 4: that NFL assistants can't do is they can't he can

1514
01:10:28,800 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 4: coach them.

1515
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: He can coach them as much as he wants.

1516
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 4: NFL coaches are restricted, so it's all on him and

1517
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 4: what he wants to do, what they're trying to get done,

1518
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 4: how often they're trying to get it done. Yeah, So

1519
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 4: that's that's the main that's the main deal. He's just

1520
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,240
Speaker 4: trying to make sure you get everybody on board, make

1521
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 4: sure he understands clearly what Kevin O'Connor wants, and he's

1522
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 4: he's reiterating those same points.

1523
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because coaches say one thing to

1524
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: the public and to the media, but they do other

1525
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: things when they're at practice. You know that there's just

1526
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 1: the nature of the beast. That's what happens. And you know,

1527
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 1: you hear the situation at Atlanta with Tua and Penix.

1528
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 1: They're going to compete for the job. Well they may

1529
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: in the minds of guys like me or all the fans,

1530
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: that ain't gonna happen because it's all about who gets

1531
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: the most first team reps in practice. That's what it's

1532
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 1: all about. And if JJ McCarthy does not get those reps,

1533
01:11:19,760 --> 01:11:21,760
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna be the first team quarterback, you know.

1534
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's going to get the reps.

1535
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: I think that Kylin Murray is getting the reps, and

1536
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I think two is probably gonna get the reps right now,

1537
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,360
Speaker 1: surely because Pennix is coming off the ACL. Isn't that

1538
01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:34,599
Speaker 1: the truth? They can say whatever they want to say,

1539
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 1: but it's all about practice and who gets the reps.

1540
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it is all about that because it

1541
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 4: sets the table for how you're going to build the team, right, Like,

1542
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 4: if he's getting all the reps, then you're giving him

1543
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:52,479
Speaker 4: all the opportunity to build the team around. You're looking

1544
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 4: at everything you experiment is to travel an error part

1545
01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,400
Speaker 4: of it all. So yeah, if we're trying to make

1546
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 4: assumptions based on practice.

1547
01:12:03,600 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, look at the reps. The reps tell you everything.

1548
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 4: Whoever gets to most reps did the ones that they're

1549
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 4: really trying to get ready to play?

1550
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 2: Interesting?

1551
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: Now, now here's the big question of the day. Will

1552
01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:17,839
Speaker 1: other teams be calling on the Minnesota Vikings to trade

1553
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:20,640
Speaker 1: for JJ McCarthey, what do you think? Because there are

1554
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,639
Speaker 1: a lot of teams out there that need a big

1555
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: time back up. I don't think he's ready to go

1556
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,639
Speaker 1: on a maybe. I don't know. We'll see what I mean. Look,

1557
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: the Colts last year, the replaced Anthony Richester with Daniel

1558
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: Jones before Richeson's third season. Maybe the Vikings are going

1559
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:38,960
Speaker 1: down the same route over here with JJ McCarthy. I

1560
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, And there is veterans available that maybe

1561
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota could pick up as backups, Tyrod Taylor, he's going

1562
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,679
Speaker 1: to be available, right. So do you think other teams

1563
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 1: are going to be calling Minnesota for JJ McCarthy services.

1564
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 2: I don't know if they canna be knocking them down.

1565
01:12:56,840 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 4: I think a lot of it happened like later, so

1566
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 4: after the draft, after mini camps, after training like after

1567
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 4: training camp is underway, depending on injuries and those things,

1568
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 4: But I don't think there'd be a robust market form

1569
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 4: right now. If anything, this would be the worst time

1570
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,360
Speaker 4: to sell them because everyone knows that you're not in

1571
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 4: love with them, and he hasn't given I would say,

1572
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 4: the football world enough to clamor over his services. This

1573
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 4: is not the time to do it, but there will

1574
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 4: be some calls eventually, wants to, you know, to dust settles.

1575
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:30,639
Speaker 4: Once some of these quarterback competitions provide a little more clarity,

1576
01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 4: then you will be able to kind of see how

1577
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,640
Speaker 4: the dominoes would impact what JJ McCarthy's future looks like.

1578
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,360
Speaker 1: You know, now the truth is coming up because I

1579
01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,920
Speaker 1: read some reports during the week they said during the

1580
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four draft and during the pre draft evaluation

1581
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:50,040
Speaker 1: process that year, m was it the Vikings, I guess,

1582
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:54,759
Speaker 1: and O'Connell basically was involved. I guess with this as well.

1583
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: He loved Drake May and Jayden Daniels and they would

1584
01:13:57,400 --> 01:13:59,679
Speaker 1: take them by the Patriots and the Commanders, and then

1585
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 1: once those guys would pick, the Falcons picked up Michael

1586
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Pennix Junior, and the Vikings were left with JJ McCarthy

1587
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 1: and Bone Nicks and they picked McCaughey.

1588
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like you can't let koc off the hook

1589
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,920
Speaker 4: like that. And I like him, but he had to

1590
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 4: say there's no general manager who would pick a quarterback

1591
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 4: without the head coach or the offensive coordinator giving the

1592
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 4: thumbs up. So even though you can like Drake May

1593
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 4: and Jayden Daniels, he knew there was no.

1594
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Way that those guys were going to drop to him.

1595
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,320
Speaker 2: So that's right.

1596
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 4: Whoever put this out there is trying to make good,

1597
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 4: but that doesn't make any sense like that, you know

1598
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 4: what it was. Everyone had those guys as a top three,

1599
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 4: four or five pick. There's no way they were getting

1600
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 4: down in the Missoka.

1601
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, you know, and I maybe going

1602
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: on a ledship by saying it. I don't think any

1603
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray means is the dun deal. As far as

1604
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: when I say dundal dundeal for success, I don't think

1605
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: he's going to leave Minnesota to the Promised Land right away.

1606
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean it could be Kevin O'Connell's the guy that

1607
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: could really get it done for him. And I think

1608
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot of more in the mind of Kyler

1609
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Murray because he got a bad rap all along in Arizona.

1610
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: I think he could do it, but there's a lot

1611
01:15:08,200 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 1: of pressure both on O'Connell and Kyler Murray.

1612
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, both of them.

1613
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 4: And I'll say this, he has to make sure that

1614
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 4: his preparation, his study habits are up to par Kyler Murray.

1615
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 4: That is because if his study happens are up the

1616
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 4: part and he's prepared and focused, there are few that

1617
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 4: have what he has in terms of talent wise, and

1618
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 4: I think that is really critical for Kevin O'Connell is

1619
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 4: can you do something different? Can you step outside your

1620
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 4: norm and have success? You had success with Kirk Cousins

1621
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 4: and Sam Donald. Can you do it with a different

1622
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 4: type quarterback without completely overhauling your system, but building a

1623
01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:52,280
Speaker 4: system that showcases some of the things that Kyler does

1624
01:15:52,400 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 4: very well?

1625
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: There we go. He's Bucky Brooks and Andy Ferman and

Speaker 7: Never mind.

1646
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 8: Anyways, anyways, it's time for yea or na everybody, let's

1647
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 8: get right into it. So the Tennessee Titans went for

1648
01:16:56,400 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 8: the love You blue white helmets went for the went

1649
01:16:59,840 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 8: for the love yet white blue helmets a sort of

1650
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,960
Speaker 8: kind of a throwback to the Houston Oilers, right, but

1651
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,640
Speaker 8: it's not really Houston because they're in Tennessee now, So

1652
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:08,839
Speaker 8: that's their new uniforms.

1653
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 7: Are we yeay or nay? On this new kind of

1654
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:12,240
Speaker 7: look for the Titans?

1655
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 8: Here?

1656
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 7: Are we yeah or nay?

1657
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Andy, I say, yay. I love the color I love

1658
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: that powder of blue. I remind you to Houston Oilers,

1659
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: but sometimes it changes good anyway. I think they need

1660
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,639
Speaker 1: a change. I like to change. I like the colors,

1661
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: and bringing it back the past is kind of cute.

1662
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 5: I like it.

1663
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: Boy, people calm down a little bit weird geez.

1664
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I look, I dig it. I love the

1665
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:34,320
Speaker 2: color ways.

1666
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 4: I think that the Oilers had great uniforms back in

1667
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 4: the day, the love You Blue era.

1668
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: They bring that back.

1669
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 4: They find a way to update it with the Titans logo.

1670
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,120
Speaker 4: Hats off to them. It's been a long time coming,

1671
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 4: but it's nice. It's nice to this here.

1672
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,160
Speaker 7: I actually like them too as well, and I think

1673
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 7: they're actually pretty cool.

1674
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: Oh you're just afraid to go against us.

1675
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 8: No, I actually I'm just gonna matter of fact, I

01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,600
Speaker 8: So Florida coach John Summral has a new appreciation for

Speaker 4: I understand the toughness, and I appreciate that, but be careful,

1687
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 4: be careful when it comes to that.

1688

01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:53,360
Speaker 1: charity shop at and make a donation. They had no

1740
01:20:53,439 --> 01:20:56,040

Speaker 1: got to be maybe thirty one wins, you got to

1771
01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: be in the tournament. They're there, no doubt.

1772
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I mean, you just think about all the things.

1773
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 4: It's just so hard to win games. Uh, look, in

1774
01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:28,840
Speaker 4: college basketball. To go thirty one, to go undefeated during

1775
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 4: the regular season, you definitely going to be there.

1776
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Okay, I just got this brainstorm.

1777
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 1: I know it's scary, it really is. I want to

1778
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:40,800
Speaker 1: get Patty involved and Mark if you if you're wide

1779
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: awake me, we'll get you involved too. Not to embarrass anybody,

1780
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: but I just got this thought process. We talk about

1781
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,519
Speaker 1: players all the time. We're talking about JJ McCarthy and

1782
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and you know, pro players and franchise quarterbacks whoever.

1783
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:56,160
Speaker 1: It may be the one thing that sells in sports,

1784
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 1: the one thing what do we always talk about?

1785
01:22:58,920 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 5: You know what?

1786
01:22:59,240 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 2: It is?

1787
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,880
Speaker 1: The word superlatives? What is that the best, the worst,

1788
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 1: the longest, the deepest, the highest, whatever. Maybe think about

1789
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,720
Speaker 1: that every time you watch a sporting event or you

1790
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: write about it, you read about it. That's the longest

1791
01:23:12,160 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: losing streak, is the most most hits, the guy gets,

1792
01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: is the best player, It's the longest, highest, whatever may be.

1793
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: It's all about superlatives. So I want to go around

1794
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: and ask everybody here, who are the best in their minds?

1795
01:23:26,360 --> 01:23:30,560
Speaker 1: In three major sports, the NFL, Major League Baseball, and

1796
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: the NBA. Superlatives, who are the best, the best players,

1797
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 1: give me more than one if you like the best

1798
01:23:37,320 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: in each sport. Okay, and I'm gonna stew my guy,

1799
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:43,400
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. Let's go with the NFL superlatives, right, the

1800
01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:46,680
Speaker 1: best players all time? Well, maybe the best players now,

1801
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,160
Speaker 1: whatever you want, just the best players in your mind

1802
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:50,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

Speaker 2: The best player all the time. I'm just picking one.

1804
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: You make it best. It's hard to get one, I

1805
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: would think.

1806
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 4: Okay, alright, so I just look, I'll just picked I'll

Speaker 1: was the best. I mean, I saw films of this guy.

Speaker 1: They couldn't bring him down today.

1842
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 5: Uh.

01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 1: I maybe even Barry Sanders in there too. Personally right now,

1844
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: I don't even I can't pick up best player right now,

Speaker 8: Okay, and uh, Patty, I got mine for sure, and

1857
01:26:33,040 --> 01:26:36,040

1858
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:37,600
Speaker 7: Hey o, Tony, I don't even care if it's a

1859

Speaker 7: recency buys. That dude is literally.

1860
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 1: I maybe you know what my best player is all time?

1861
01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:46,960
Speaker 1: I write Willie Mays. I got Willie Mays. I think

1862
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: it's a good pick.

1863
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:49,439
Speaker 2: It's a good pick.

1864
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 4: I mean, I've just seen the black and white tape,

1865
01:26:51,640 --> 01:26:53,600
Speaker 4: so I don't have a full perspective.

1866
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 1: One well, I never released. I saw him play at

1867
01:26:55,400 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 1: the end of his career when he was a met,

1868
01:26:56,840 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 1: but I sort of tapes as well.

1869
01:26:58,360 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 2: But look at the.

1870
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:01,680
Speaker 1: Stats, you know. I just I think william As was

1871
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: right there. Okay, letst but not least the nb A

1872

Speaker 1: current and or all time Bucky Brooks.

1873
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 2: NBA current or all times both. Let's see. Uh, let's

1874
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 2: get out this era.

1875
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:22,320
Speaker 4: Uh it's so weird, right because everyone would talk about

1876
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 4: m J Kobe, Lebron and I'm gonna go and I'm

1877
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 4: gonna have to say, if we talking about winning being

1878
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,760
Speaker 4: the thing, then let's go Bill Russell and.

1879
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:36,840
Speaker 9: Yes, I like that, Yes, Mark magic, Mark, Okay. If

1880
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 9: I can't pick Michael, I'm gonna say, mo cheeks.

1881
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:45,640
Speaker 1: Cheeks you Philadelphia, I understand. But you know, there's just

1882
01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:46,280
Speaker 1: so many.

1883
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 10: Basically, you know, like thank you for calling, thank you.

1884
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 10: I don't Mark, I mean really I love him. Don't

1885
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 10: laugh at them, Mark, you picked the wrong guy.

1886
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: All right.

1887
01:28:01,360 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 8: I have a current in a in a, I have

1888
01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 8: a current in a past one, so I can give two.

1889
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 8: All right, So so current one right now I'm gonna say,

1890
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 8: is well, yeah, I don't want to say it, but

1891
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 8: like currently because of accolades Lebron.

1892
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:20,639
Speaker 7: Just right now.

1893
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 8: And if we can't pick Jordan, if if even though

1894
01:28:23,680 --> 01:28:26,360
Speaker 8: Jordan's pretty much kind of the goat, but if Jordan

1895
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:30,240
Speaker 8: outside of that, and I'm a Kobe guy, but I'm

1896
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 8: not gonna pick Kobe because one person that just stands

1897
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 8: out too much for me. You got to give it

1898
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 8: to lou Elsinder And I'm talking Kareem abduled your bar baby,

1899
01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:42,439
Speaker 8: So you rather.

1900
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:46,920
Speaker 1: Pick Tim Duncan, right, you know what you already want

1901
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:51,960
Speaker 1: to say, don't even come back? Okay, failed school. I

1902
01:28:52,080 --> 01:28:57,160
Speaker 1: got Steph Curry and Will Chamberlain, Will the still that

1903
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 1: puts in one hundred points a game on. You gotta

1904
01:28:59,080 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: be kidding me. He's all right. Now, before we get

1905
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 1: involved with this situation, I want to let everybody know

Speaker 1: Sports Radio, and of course the iHeart at Now let's

1915
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,960
Speaker 1: get into this. Will the shoe fit I don't know

1916
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:31,160
Speaker 1: the ten best fits from the first day of free agency. Okay,

1917
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:32,960
Speaker 1: we talked a little bit about some of these free agents,

1918
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: and I look at this guy, Tyler Linnenbaum, the center

1919
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:37,640
Speaker 1: of the Las Vegas radios, they're all in right now.

1920
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 1: He's getting like nine million dollars more than Creed Humphrey's making.

1921
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Who is the center previously the highest paid center in

1922
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: the National Football League form the Kansas City Chiefs Number one.

1923
01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: I asked Bucky Brooks, did the Raiders overpay for this guy?

1924
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's big time money.

1925
01:29:52,560 --> 01:29:57,360
Speaker 4: Really, Well, you only overpaid form if the production isn't

1926
01:29:57,439 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 4: up to snuff. But considering they're gonna bring in in

1927
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 4: the Mendoza and they want someone up front who can

1928
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 4: handle and lighten the load on him in terms of

1929
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 4: the protection calls, identifying the mic, making adjustments in those things.

1930
01:30:11,080 --> 01:30:13,839
Speaker 2: Nah, they didn't overpay for Linda Baum. Linnabaum was terrific.

1931
01:30:14,439 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 4: The Baltimore Ravens messed up when they didn't put them

1932
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 4: on their fifth year option. They let it go, and

1933
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,320
Speaker 4: so now they had to overpay to do it, and

1934
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 4: so they drove the price up. So the Raiders wanted them,

1935
01:30:25,680 --> 01:30:27,760
Speaker 4: they got them. You pay what you pay whatever you

1936
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,960
Speaker 4: need to get the people that you want.

1937
01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 1: Well, I think that it's going to be quite obvious

1938
01:30:31,439 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: that they're going to draft for an end of Mendoza.

1939
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: So obviously getting a guy like Linda Boun's going to

1940
01:30:35,240 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 1: make life of Elisia for Mendoza and he's going to

1941
01:30:37,240 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: help their running game. So I think it was a

1942
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,680
Speaker 1: good deal money wise. I'm not paying for it, so

1943
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:42,880
Speaker 1: I don't care. But if you're a fan of the game,

1944
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:44,639
Speaker 1: the fan of the Raiders, you got to be pretty

1945
01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 1: happy about that. So that's number one. Okay, let's move

1946
01:30:47,800 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: over now to the Kansas City Chiefs. I look at

1947
01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:53,360
Speaker 1: their running back and they signed Kenneth Walker last year.

1948
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,080
Speaker 1: I think what the Kansas City Chiefs did, and I

1949
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 1: think I'm correct in saying this, they resigned Trey Smith

1950
01:30:59,040 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 1: and they Drefted Justice, so that kind of helped on

1951
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,640
Speaker 1: their offensive line. Now they got a running back. The

1952
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 1: problem is he's not the best running back, but he's

1953
01:31:08,120 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: a decent running back. And I think maybe I'm wrong

1954
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:12,880
Speaker 1: about this, but I love this guy. E b. When

1955
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:14,920
Speaker 1: he was at the Bengals, Eric the Enemy, he's back

1956
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. I think he's going to help Walker

1957
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:18,719
Speaker 1: a lot. I think Walker is going to help the Chiefs.

1958
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:22,799
Speaker 2: Look, yeah, I think that's terrific pickup.

1959
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:25,320
Speaker 4: And Eric Banemy is back and he's back in the

1960
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:27,719
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator role, even though he won't call it. Plays

1961
01:31:28,040 --> 01:31:30,240
Speaker 4: we've seen with his offenses. Look like when he's been

1962
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,960
Speaker 4: in the building, there'll be a little more balanced.

1963
01:31:33,040 --> 01:31:34,280
Speaker 2: Kenniwauker Junior will help that.

1964
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,479
Speaker 4: They'd be a little more explosive because the running game

1965
01:31:37,479 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 4: will lead to more explosive plays in the passing game

1966
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 4: down the field, off play action, and more importantly, they're

1967
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 4: going to be able to finish games out because they

1968
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:45,920
Speaker 4: have a running back who can get it done. The

1969
01:31:46,040 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 4: last few years, I'm being honest, man, they've been getting by.

1970
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:52,120
Speaker 4: They've been playing with running backs who didn't impact the

1971
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:56,080
Speaker 4: way the defensive coordinator approached the Kansas City Chiefs. Now

1972
01:31:56,200 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 4: you won't be able to see all that soft, too

1973
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:00,960
Speaker 4: deep zone against the Chiefs because as Kenneth Walker has

1974
01:32:01,000 --> 01:32:02,040
Speaker 4: proven that he can make them pay.

1975
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,040
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go with Kobe Bryant, the other

1976
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:07,280
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. They want to play for the University of Cincinnati.

1977
01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Se be why Brian who's not with the Chicago Bears

1978
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:13,680
Speaker 1: his safety. And this guy transitioned from a quarterback to

1979
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 1: a too deep safety when he's with Seattle. Now he's

1980
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:19,679
Speaker 1: with Chicago, And obviously I think one of the holes

1981
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:23,360
Speaker 1: of the Chicago Bears is defense. I think ad In

1982
01:32:23,439 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant's gonna helped them a lot. You think who's

1983
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 1: gonna help him a lot, Kobe Bryant. That's safety.

1984
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,720
Speaker 4: Are you talking about the little when you say Kobe Bryant,

1985
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 4: The first thing I thought about Kobe talking about you're

1986
01:32:37,240 --> 01:32:38,800
Speaker 4: talking about talking about the safety.

1987
01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: From Seattle coming over.

1988
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is crying to help him a lot. He's terrific.

1989
01:32:41,920 --> 01:32:44,559
Speaker 4: He has great instincts and awareness. There's a big gift

1990
01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 4: for them, big pick up.

1991
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:50,880
Speaker 1: All right, let me U. Let me think of another

1992
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,600
Speaker 1: free agent right now that I could get involved with,

1993
01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:56,519
Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the Malik Willis the quarterback with

1994
01:32:56,600 --> 01:33:00,640
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. Dolphins have anue head coach. He was to

1995
01:33:00,720 --> 01:33:05,439
Speaker 1: pack this defensive coordinator and he saw Willis, guess do

1996
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:07,639
Speaker 1: what he had to do last year. What does Willis

1997
01:33:07,640 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: spring to the table as quarterback and what is he

1998
01:33:09,960 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: going to do for the Dolphins.

1999
01:33:12,640 --> 01:33:15,400
Speaker 4: Well, the one thing that is good about the situation

2000
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:18,679
Speaker 4: is John Eric Sullivan and Jeff Affley know Malik will

2001
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 4: Is very very well from spending two years with him.

2002
01:33:21,000 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 4: Halfley is really important because as a defense coordinator, he

2003
01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 4: had to face him in many camps and training camps

2004
01:33:26,439 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 4: of those things while also watching them get ready for

2005
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 4: the games that he participated in. This gives him a

2006
01:33:30,960 --> 01:33:33,479
Speaker 4: great sense of the boundaries to strengths and weaknesses that

2007
01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 4: Malik Willis has.

2008
01:33:34,800 --> 01:33:36,920
Speaker 2: He's an athletic playmaker. He's a guy who can do

2009
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 2: damage inside and outside of the pocket, but at his

2010
01:33:41,160 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 2: best when he's on the perimeter.

2011
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:44,640
Speaker 4: I think this is going to be a chance for

2012
01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 4: the Dolphins to do a reset, to kind of tweak

2013
01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 4: and change their offense a little bit, to run it

2014
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,760
Speaker 4: with a chan in the backfield, but more importantly, to

2015
01:33:53,960 --> 01:33:56,879
Speaker 4: use some of those dual threat things, whether it's traditional

2016
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:00,560
Speaker 4: RPOs or old school bootlegs and movement pass is to

2017
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 4: really put the defense in the buying and to create

2018
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:04,040
Speaker 4: big play opportunities for him.

2019
01:34:04,840 --> 01:34:07,040
Speaker 1: All right, here's a big surprise. I was surprised with

2020
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: this one. I don't know about you, but Mike Evans

2021
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver goes to the San Francisco forty nine Ers,

2022
01:34:11,320 --> 01:34:13,560
Speaker 1: and you know, he's thirty three years of age. I

2023
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: think maybe he's better days are behind them. But it's

2024
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,519
Speaker 1: a pretty big surprise, and he has some hamstring problems

2025
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 1: good as well. But I think he's really going to

2026
01:34:21,479 --> 01:34:24,120
Speaker 1: help the forty nine ers offense and maybe he won't

2027
01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 1: have to be the guy for the forty nine ers

2028
01:34:27,960 --> 01:34:31,439
Speaker 1: as he was in the past in years past, because

2029
01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,040
Speaker 1: he's got some helping out with George Kittle on the

2030
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:35,680
Speaker 1: offensive line there as far as receiving an offense. But

2031
01:34:36,360 --> 01:34:39,559
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, at thirty three, it's tough. I mean,

2032
01:34:39,760 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 1: I think with the bad hamstrings as well as but

2033
01:34:42,040 --> 01:34:44,560
Speaker 1: I was very surprised that Mike Evans goes to the

2034
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:45,240
Speaker 1: forty nine ers.

2035
01:34:46,800 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, very surprised too. Here's the thing.

2036
01:34:50,040 --> 01:34:52,800
Speaker 4: If it works with their age, you're talking about a

2037
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 4: dynamic trio and Mike Evans, George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey,

2038
01:34:58,640 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 4: if healthy, man pose a lot of problems because if

2039
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:05,599
Speaker 4: you choose to use extra defenders to neutralize any one

2040
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 4: of those, the other two can hurt you. This will

2041
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 4: make the game a lot easier for Brian Purdy. The

2042
01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:12,280
Speaker 4: thing that you have to do is can you get

2043
01:35:12,320 --> 01:35:14,439
Speaker 4: Mike Evans to the field? Had a lot of injuries

2044
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 4: of LA. George Kittle has been injured. CMC has been

2045
01:35:16,840 --> 01:35:20,560
Speaker 4: good for some years, he's off injured. So this is

2046
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,559
Speaker 4: the move that look has the potential to pay off

2047
01:35:23,600 --> 01:35:25,160
Speaker 4: in a major way. But it also could be a

2048
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 4: bad move just because they're older players and you can't

2049
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:29,839
Speaker 4: really hit your wagon to older players.

2050
01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 1: I would say this, we watched the playoffs and you

2051
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 1: saw the Seahawks playing the Rams and what we learned,

2052
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 1: at least if you're a student of the game like

2053
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,360
Speaker 1: you are Buckie Brooks, I think the Seahawks exposed the

2054
01:35:43,479 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: weakness of the defensive cornerback position, at least with the Rams.

2055
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:51,080
Speaker 1: So they pick up Jalen Watson. I think it's a

2056
01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 1: big pick for the LA Rams and free agency, Jalen

2057
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:56,640
Speaker 1: Watson is going to help him. That was exposed big

2058
01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:58,640
Speaker 1: time by Seattle. But Seattle did that to a lot

2059
01:35:58,720 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 1: of teams, but they did it so to the Rams

2060
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and I think that Jalen Watson coming

2061
01:36:03,560 --> 01:36:06,240
Speaker 1: over is gonna help them a lot in the defensive backfield.

2062
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you think about Jayleen Watson's and Trey mcdeffie.

2063
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:14,080
Speaker 4: They've automatically improved, they argue, with the best team in

2064
01:36:14,120 --> 01:36:16,400
Speaker 4: football like them in the Seahawks, you can say one

2065
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:18,200
Speaker 4: and two wherever you want to break it down, but

2066
01:36:18,280 --> 01:36:20,719
Speaker 4: their secondary let them down in the biggest game. They're

2067
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,040
Speaker 4: shoring that up. Now you have a dynamic secondary with

2068
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 4: experience and playmakers in those things. That makes a difference.

2069
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:32,040
Speaker 1: All right, Tennessee Titans that they need help all over

2070
01:36:32,080 --> 01:36:35,000
Speaker 1: the place, But they got John Franklin Meyer's defensive tackle.

2071
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 1: I guess. Robert Saylor, the new Titans head coach, you know,

2072
01:36:39,479 --> 01:36:42,280
Speaker 1: he's a defensive somewhat specialist, I guess, so that's why

2073
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:46,200
Speaker 1: he went for the defensive tackle. I just I'm more

2074
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:50,479
Speaker 1: concerned with the quarterback position in Tennessee. You know, is

2075
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 1: it gonna happen, Is he gonna develop? What are they

2076
01:36:53,400 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna do? I mean, the defense is great, but you

2077
01:36:57,280 --> 01:36:59,360
Speaker 1: got to get points on the board. That's the key,

2078
01:36:59,400 --> 01:37:01,560
Speaker 1: and can they do that well the Titans. And I

2079
01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:03,880
Speaker 1: would have liked to have seen, if I'm a Titans fan,

2080
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:07,720
Speaker 1: for them to hire an offensive minded coach more so

2081
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,160
Speaker 1: than a defensive minded coach. But the fact of the

2082
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 1: matter is they fired the last coach was an offensive

2083
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,800
Speaker 1: coordinator in Cincinnati, And I guess sometimes what teams do,

2084
01:37:16,240 --> 01:37:18,800
Speaker 1: they just go the other direction if they fire one coach.

2085
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:26,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's always dificult to talk about the transition and

2086
01:37:26,680 --> 01:37:29,160
Speaker 4: firing coaches in Cincinnati and those things like, I don't know,

2087
01:37:29,200 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 4: I don't know how much it really matters, you know,

2088
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:34,160
Speaker 4: like in terms of the upgrades.

2089
01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:39,639
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, that it's your team, Andy, I don't.

2090
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:43,160
Speaker 1: Know about But I'm just saying, like, you know, when

2091
01:37:43,200 --> 01:37:46,479
Speaker 1: you fire an offensive minded coach, which Tennessee had last year,

2092
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:48,519
Speaker 1: and they find him in the midseason, not a new

2093
01:37:48,640 --> 01:37:51,479
Speaker 1: coach is a defensive guy, you know, because they're always

2094
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:52,360
Speaker 1: going in the opposite direction.

2095
01:37:53,560 --> 01:37:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they go in the opposite direction. Normally it's either

2096
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:58,400
Speaker 2: personalities or sadder expertise.

2097
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:00,760
Speaker 4: For Tennessee. Robert solid is good, he's been head coach before.

2098
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,560
Speaker 4: There was some appeal and that you look at the

2099
01:38:03,640 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 4: personnel that they had in place. Is about finding a

2100
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:10,280
Speaker 4: way to bring back the brand. Tennessee has always been

2101
01:38:10,640 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 4: a rougher and regged team, a team to pride themselves

2102
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 4: and the physicality that they played with. Well, Robert Salad

2103
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:18,559
Speaker 4: will bring that now. He brings his buddy Brian day

2104
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,960
Speaker 4: Ball over to fix the offense. Dave Ball has always

2105
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 4: had a man crush on the young quarterback cam Ward.

2106
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 4: We will see how they're able to kind of juice

2107
01:38:27,400 --> 01:38:29,840
Speaker 4: up that offense around them. But the scary part is

2108
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 4: Robert Salad has seen what Demico Ryan's version of their

2109
01:38:33,120 --> 01:38:34,160
Speaker 4: same scheme has done.

2110
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:38,559
Speaker 2: Tennessee becomes a very competitive team right away.

2111
01:38:39,280 --> 01:38:39,720
Speaker 8: You think so.

2112
01:38:41,920 --> 01:38:42,400
Speaker 2: Competitive?

2113
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:46,559
Speaker 1: You know sometimes you know, hype goes with the position

2114
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:50,719
Speaker 1: and cam Ward. To me, even going into the draft,

2115
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:54,040
Speaker 1: we never heard much about the guy. I mean, guys

2116
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: a quartable. We've heard more about Fernandum and those are

2117
01:38:57,160 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: now than we heard about Kim Ward the entire last season.

2118
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:02,280
Speaker 1: And I get it because he played on an undefeated

2119
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:04,920
Speaker 1: team Indianna. But still, in all, more often than not,

2120
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 1: you hear a quarterback and you're here going into the draft,

2121
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:10,479
Speaker 1: and even during the season, we didn't hear much about

2122
01:39:10,560 --> 01:39:12,560
Speaker 1: Kim Ward. Is it because the team he's playing on?

2123
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 1: Is it his personality? Why is that what's happening with

2124
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,040
Speaker 1: cam Ward? And can he make it? Will he be

2125
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback?

2126
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, he can make it.

2127
01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 4: And he can make it because Brian Daboll's really good

2128
01:39:24,360 --> 01:39:27,240
Speaker 4: with quarterbacks, and we saw what he did early with

2129
01:39:27,400 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones. We saw what he did with Jackson Dirt

2130
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 4: when he had an opportunity the first half of the season.

2131
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 4: He'll find a way to get cam Ward up and going.

2132
01:39:34,840 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 2: Now.

2133
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,720
Speaker 4: The key will be the weapons around kim Ward. They

2134
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:42,720
Speaker 4: brought back Calvin Ridley, they have Wandale Robinson coming over.

2135
01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's enough to me.

2136
01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:47,560
Speaker 4: That's not enough to necessarily make their offense dangerous, but

2137
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:51,360
Speaker 4: there's familiarity, and so I understand why they made those moves.

2138
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 4: But I expect Brian Daboll to get this offense up

2139
01:39:54,400 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 4: and humming. And they don't need to be a top

2140
01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 4: ten offense. But if they can get to the middle

2141
01:39:58,640 --> 01:39:59,840
Speaker 4: of the pack where they can run it and have

2142
01:40:00,080 --> 01:40:02,640
Speaker 4: Mike sposed plays in the passing game, that defense.

2143
01:40:02,400 --> 01:40:04,280
Speaker 2: Is going to be. The defense is gonna be much

2144
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:05,240
Speaker 2: better than people expect.

2145
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 1: Really, Okay, what will be the surprise team as of today?

2146
01:40:09,720 --> 01:40:12,840
Speaker 1: Looking at the free agent movements and even before the draft,

2147
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 1: your surprise team coming into the NFL next year, Like, Wow,

2148
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: where did they come from?

2149
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:21,519
Speaker 2: M surprise team? Where they come from?

2150
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:25,599
Speaker 4: I would say the raid is being more competitive than

2151
01:40:25,840 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 4: mini expect. They underachieved this year, but they certainly weren't

2152
01:40:29,080 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 4: as bad as their record indicated this year, coming up

2153
01:40:32,280 --> 01:40:36,400
Speaker 4: with Clint Kubiak, better offensive system with Brock Bauers asking JITs,

2154
01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:38,720
Speaker 4: even though you have a young quarterback, they should be

2155
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:42,519
Speaker 4: fined and defensively. Max Crosby returning to a team that

2156
01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:43,880
Speaker 4: didn't anticipate having him.

2157
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:45,840
Speaker 2: Oh, I think that's gonna be pretty good.

2158
01:40:46,800 --> 01:40:49,040
Speaker 1: Sounds great. Okay, he's Bucky Brooks, I mean de fermer

Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on, No, thanks for joining us.

2179
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm here with Bucky Brooks. He's a football mavin, but

2180
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm just a maven myself. I want to thank you

2181
01:41:56,720 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 1: for your time, but I'm going to ask you, and

2182
01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: I won't ask you what you asked a thousand times,

2183
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:02,960
Speaker 1: which is what if you don't get in? That's what

2184
01:42:03,080 --> 01:42:06,080
Speaker 1: everybody's asking. I'm going to ask you what seed will

2185
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:09,719
Speaker 1: you have? Because winning, in my mind trumps everything else.

2186
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would think that we're definitely in. I'd be

2187
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 5: surprised if we're not, you know, being thirty one to one.

2188
01:42:19,160 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 5: But you know, as you know, like listen, it's out

2189
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 5: of our control. You know, it's in the selection committee's hands,

2190
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:26,720
Speaker 5: and that's what happens. And you don't take care of

2191
01:42:26,800 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 5: business something the MAC.

2192
01:42:28,240 --> 01:42:31,879
Speaker 2: Tournament, you know, coach talk about the challenge.

2193
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:33,720
Speaker 4: You're doing that no matter how will you play in

2194
01:42:33,800 --> 01:42:37,280
Speaker 4: the regular season, everything appears to hands on your postseason

2195
01:42:37,360 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 4: play in the tournament.

2196
01:42:38,640 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 2: How hard is to get your guys to handle that

2197
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 2: kind of pressure.

2198
01:42:42,800 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I don't know if our guys necessarily

2199
01:42:44,920 --> 01:42:48,120
Speaker 5: felt any pressure, you know, just because you know, I

2200
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 5: felt like we probably felt more pressure down the stretch

2201
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 5: with our regular season just trying to make it undefeated.

2202
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:58,200
Speaker 5: I think we're one of four teams since two thousand

2203
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 5: to go on to see in the regular season in

2204
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:04,240
Speaker 5: which you give me figure about how many. I mean,

2205
01:43:04,240 --> 01:43:07,479
Speaker 5: there's three hundred and sixty Division One teams and twenty

2206
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 5: six years. I mean that that's incredible. But you know, listen,

2207
01:43:12,240 --> 01:43:14,320
Speaker 5: and we didn't play great, you know it. That's the

2208
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:17,160
Speaker 5: thing about March. So it makes March great is it's

2209
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:20,200
Speaker 5: March Madness for a reason. You know, it's forty minutes.

2210
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:23,560
Speaker 5: The best team doesn't always win necessarily because it's a

2211
01:43:23,640 --> 01:43:26,280
Speaker 5: one game, forty minute game. It's not a best of

2212
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,519
Speaker 5: seven like it is in the NBA, you know. So

2213
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 5: that's what that's what makes it exciting, and hopefully we'll

2214
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:34,880
Speaker 5: learn from it and get better from it. Here into

2215
01:43:34,920 --> 01:43:36,000
Speaker 5: the into doable a tournament.

2216
01:43:36,600 --> 01:43:38,799
Speaker 1: All right, Well, talk with the Travis Steel, Miam University

2217
01:43:38,880 --> 01:43:41,599
Speaker 1: coach coach at the RedHawks. Quick question. If I can't

2218
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:45,360
Speaker 1: coach just talk about expanding the playoffs to eighty teams,

2219
01:43:45,400 --> 01:43:46,360
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts on that?

2220
01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 5: You know, I would probably keep it where it is.

2221
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:53,320
Speaker 5: And you know, like at number one, I think fans

2222
01:43:53,400 --> 01:43:56,120
Speaker 5: have to understand the perspective. It's not they're not having

2223
01:43:56,200 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 5: mid major teams, that's for sure. Me to add more

2224
01:44:01,160 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 5: P five, P sixteens that quite honestly, that aren't great.

2225
01:44:06,840 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 5: I think it's just going to water down the instead

2226
01:44:08,560 --> 01:44:11,360
Speaker 5: of late tournament, I think sixty eight is twenty.

2227
01:44:13,439 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 4: You know, coach, I have to ask you, in the

2228
01:44:15,040 --> 01:44:18,439
Speaker 4: NIL era and in the transfer reporter era, how hard

2229
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 4: is it for you to retain your players on the

2230
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:23,759
Speaker 4: team that was undefeated, Like, how hard do you anticipate

2231
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 4: it being to be able to bring back most of

2232
01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:25,559
Speaker 4: your roster?

2233
01:44:27,040 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I think a lot of schools have

2234
01:44:28,960 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 5: probably been trying to poaching and poaching our guys the

2235
01:44:32,040 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 5: whole season, you know, and you know, through agents and

2236
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:40,080
Speaker 5: back channels and all that, and we rely on our culture,

2237
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 5: you know, our recruiting our recruiting pitch to our guys

2238
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:47,680
Speaker 5: after the season is just their experience, you know. So

2239
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:50,600
Speaker 5: we don't promise in the world and hey it's going

2240
01:44:50,680 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 5: to be different or anything like that. Your experience is

2241
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:57,679
Speaker 5: your recruitment. And you know, for us, it's all about fit.

2242
01:44:57,960 --> 01:45:00,679
Speaker 5: I think the fit piece really helps us day guys.

2243
01:45:01,080 --> 01:45:03,760
Speaker 5: We have guys that really fit here. But retention is

2244
01:45:03,800 --> 01:45:07,200
Speaker 5: at a premium. It's the key to honestly success in

2245
01:45:07,360 --> 01:45:11,200
Speaker 5: college athletics. And you know, listen in il's part of

2246
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 5: it and we know that. But we want our guys

2247
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 5: to make the best decision for them, whatever that is

2248
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:18,639
Speaker 5: long term, not just a short term decision.

2249
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:21,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're too nice to be a head coach.

2250
01:45:22,280 --> 01:45:24,479
Speaker 1: You really are. I'm going to say that because you

2251
01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:26,439
Speaker 1: say all the right things. You get on the radio

2252
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:28,800

2253

2254
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,439

Speaker 1: I love to see you getting the success you've had.

2256
01:45:37,120 --> 01:45:40,080
Speaker 1: And you mentioned and Bucky mentioned the term poaching your players.

2257
01:45:40,439 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 1: By the way, are they poaching you? Are other school's

2258
01:45:43,400 --> 01:45:43,840
Speaker 1: poaching you?

2259
01:45:45,320 --> 01:45:47,920
Speaker 5: Well, you know, It's funny. I told our guys back

2260
01:45:48,000 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 5: in January, I was getting hit by an agent. All

2261
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,280
Speaker 5: these agents and all these search firms and all this stuff.

2262
01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:58,360
Speaker 5: Back in January, I knew our guys were And now,

2265
01:46:04,040 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 5: we've been given. Here in Miami is a special place,

2266
01:46:07,439 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 5: you know, it really is just from an academic standpoint

2267
01:46:09,960 --> 01:46:13,160
Speaker 5: in campus and and uh and the people make the place.

2268
01:46:13,280 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 5: So we're happy. I'll never say that. I'm not gonna

2269
01:46:16,040 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 5: ever say, you know, speaking definitive terms, but at the

2270
01:46:19,080 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 5: same time, you know, we're extremely happy here.

Speaker 5: what the future has for US.

2281
01:46:53,520 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: You know, I want to get the public list. We're

2282
01:46:56,720 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 1: about four hundred radio stations right now. I want people

2283
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,320
Speaker 1: to know that. And it's Miami University. You're not the

2284
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,559
Speaker 1: University of Miami in Florida. It's in beautiful Oxford, Ohio.

2285
01:47:05,600 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: I just tell them about the beautiful campus in Oxford

2286
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: because I've been there. It's gorgeous. And now there's talk

2287
01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:15,000
Speaker 1: of a new arena as well. So how's the campus

2288
01:47:15,439 --> 01:47:18,559
Speaker 1: reacted not only to your team, but the women's team

2289
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:22,719
Speaker 1: won the mac Tournament. So what's happening the buzz on campus?

2290
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:28,960
Speaker 5: Yeah? Number one. When you envision college, this is exactly

2291
01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:31,599
Speaker 5: what you think of. You know, it's a college town

2292
01:47:31,600 --> 01:47:35,400
Speaker 5: about forty five minutes outside of Cincinnati, right in between

2293
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:40,120
Speaker 5: Cincinnati and Dayton. I mean it is. Everything is absolutely pristine.

2294
01:47:40,680 --> 01:47:44,240
Speaker 5: It's a little less than twenty thousand students, so it's big,

2295
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 5: but it's not too big. It has a really good

2296
01:47:46,400 --> 01:47:50,200
Speaker 5: feel to it, like every piece of grass is manicured

2297
01:47:51,160 --> 01:47:53,960
Speaker 5: every day. It feels like on our campus all the

2298
01:47:54,040 --> 01:47:56,960
Speaker 5: buildings are brick. It kind of has that heavy league

2299
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 5: feel to it here in the Midwest. But it's a

2300
01:48:00,800 --> 01:48:03,360
Speaker 5: unique school. I mean, it really is the town's awesome.

2301
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 5: You know, they've really really.

2302
01:48:07,240 --> 01:48:12,080
Speaker 3: I think the athletics across the board, whether it's softball, baseball,

2303
01:48:12,160 --> 01:48:16,479
Speaker 3: women's basketball, men's basketball, I think has only added that

2304
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 3: energy to this campus.

2305
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:22,400
Speaker 5: We've went from two hundred people to our games when

2306
01:48:22,439 --> 01:48:24,840
Speaker 5: I first got here to ten thousand, six hundred and

2307
01:48:24,960 --> 01:48:29,639
Speaker 5: forty this season, and just to see the community get

2308
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:34,719
Speaker 5: behind us has just been incredible. And hopefully we're adding

2309
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:36,679
Speaker 5: to all the students experience as well.

2310
01:48:38,400 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 2: You know, Coach, I know the alums, the notable alums

2311
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:43,519
Speaker 2: from the basketball team have to be excited about it.

2312
01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:46,120
Speaker 2: Wally Serbiak and company. Have you had any interaction with

2313
01:48:46,200 --> 01:48:48,040
Speaker 2: those guys? Are they proud to see the kind of

2314
01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 2: work that you guys are doing?

2315
01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 8: I have.

2316
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 5: You know, It's funny We've had Ron Harper at multiple games.

2317
01:48:54,040 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 5: We've had Ironnewball, Wally serbiakor you mentioned a ton of

2318
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:04,040
Speaker 5: former players at games, Julian Levunga, Damon Friarson. It goes

2319
01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:07,160
Speaker 5: on and on, and there's a really troud, proud tradition

2320
01:49:07,280 --> 01:49:09,560
Speaker 5: here and we're the all time winning his program in

2321
01:49:09,600 --> 01:49:12,080
Speaker 5: our league. Yet we just had not done it for

2322
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 5: about twenty years when I first got here. You know,

2323
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:19,599
Speaker 5: there's been a gap, and I think, you know, obviously

2324
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:22,839
Speaker 5: there's a ton of excitement, you know, from their standpoint,

2325
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:25,680
Speaker 5: because we worked for those that came before us, right,

2326
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:28,400
Speaker 5: they wore the jersey, They put in all the all

2327
01:49:28,479 --> 01:49:31,680
Speaker 5: the blood, sweat and tears into it, and they live

2328
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,360
Speaker 5: and die by it, you know. So it's been really

2329
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:38,639
Speaker 5: fun to see them all get back involved and take

2330
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:40,479
Speaker 5: a lot of pride in this place because it is

2331
01:49:40,520 --> 01:49:41,280
Speaker 5: a special place.

2332
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: Coach, I'm a little lone school. I want to know

2333
01:49:44,040 --> 01:49:45,720
Speaker 1: why Wayne Embry hasn't come back.

2334
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 5: You know what Wayne Embry did come back. I should

2335
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,680
Speaker 5: have mentioned him. He came back. What game was he

2336
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 5: here for our Northern Illinois games? GAT when Ron Harper

2337
01:49:56,240 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 5: got an honorary degree. You know, Wayne made it an appear,

2338
01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 5: which was awesome.

2339
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,639
Speaker 1: It was a big way in every Dare you go, Buck?

2340
01:50:04,680 --> 01:50:05,519
Speaker 1: What do you got? Buck?

2341
01:50:06,720 --> 01:50:06,760
Speaker 5: No?

2342
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:09,080
Speaker 2: Coach? Ess looking forward?

2343
01:50:09,120 --> 01:50:11,240
Speaker 4: How can you use the disappointment of the MAC Tournament

2344
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 4: to prepare you on a deep postseason run in the

2345
01:50:13,320 --> 01:50:14,240
Speaker 4: NCAA Tournament.

2346
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 5: Well, I think it just shows our guys they listen,

2347
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:20,640
Speaker 5: It can happen to anybody, right, just because we were

2348
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:22,680
Speaker 5: undefeated going into that game as the man you'real win

2349
01:50:22,760 --> 01:50:25,120
Speaker 5: the game, and you have to prepare the right way,

2350
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:28,360
Speaker 5: which I thought our preparation was good going into that game.

2351
01:50:28,960 --> 01:50:33,000
Speaker 5: But we have to embrace the physicality of the game.

2352
01:50:33,360 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 5: A lot of times the officials will really let things

2353
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:37,720
Speaker 5: play and mark kind of which I like. I don't

2354
01:50:37,760 --> 01:50:41,000
Speaker 5: like the whistle being blown every time down the floor,

2355
01:50:42,320 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 5: but we have to be more physical. We got to

2356
01:50:44,080 --> 01:50:46,800
Speaker 5: embrace that, you know, because we can really score, we

2357
01:50:46,880 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 5: can really shoot, but we got to embrace the physicality

2358
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 5: of the game and hopefully what that will show well

2359
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,720
Speaker 5: for us and allow us to you know, be able

2360
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:56,439
Speaker 5: to dance into the incident of play tournament.

2361
01:50:56,479 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 1: Here in this upcoming week post, Travis Steele, let me

2362
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 1: let me leave you with this, I want to talk

2363
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about Bruce Pearl his TV comments on

2364
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:05,960
Speaker 1: the Red Hawks. They went viral saying not deserving of

2365
01:51:06,000 --> 01:51:08,479
Speaker 1: a tournament birth whatever it may be. Then he comes

2366
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 1: back and pays your fine that you got at the

2367
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: Western Michigan game. Have you chatted with him since that deal?

2368
01:51:15,520 --> 01:51:18,400
Speaker 5: I have not chat with him since we talked about it.

2369
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 5: Obviously over here. Bruce is a good guy, you know.

2370
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:22,360
Speaker 2: Number one.

2371
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:26,800
Speaker 5: He's a Hall of Famer, great coach. Uh. You know,

2372
01:51:27,120 --> 01:51:28,920
Speaker 5: but that's id I told our guys. I was like,

2373
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 5: so I was like, listen, like, I don't call Bruce Pearl,

2374
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 5: asked him for his advice on our team. No disrespect

2375
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 5: to Bruce, So why the heck should we listened to

2376
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 5: him now? But that does add a little extra motivation, right,

2377
01:51:41,520 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 5: you know, you've got to continue to prove everybody wrong.

2378
01:51:44,520 --> 01:51:47,120
Speaker 5: And I think our guys had this massive, massive chip

2379
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:50,960
Speaker 5: on the shoulder. I do appreciate Bruce coming around and

2380
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 5: saying now he's saying, well, hey, you do deserve to be.

2381
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:55,120
Speaker 8: You know.

2382
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 5: But again, but that's that's part of the media, in

2383
01:51:59,240 --> 01:52:02,040
Speaker 5: the in the big heads. They all have an opinion

2384
01:52:02,160 --> 01:52:04,160
Speaker 5: which is which is they should That's what they get

2385
01:52:04,200 --> 01:52:07,840
Speaker 5: paid to do, you know. But again, we can only

2386
01:52:08,160 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 5: hold our guys just focus on the things that we

2387
01:52:09,840 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 5: can control, right, which is our preparation every day or effort,

2388
01:52:15,000 --> 01:52:16,960
Speaker 5: and then the rest of it will take care of itself.

2389
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:20,000
Speaker 1: Coach, I'm ready to send you another cigar. If your

2390
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:21,000
Speaker 1: first tournament went.

2391
01:52:20,960 --> 01:52:22,840
Speaker 5: Okay, I appreciate it.

2392
01:52:22,960 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 1: Please do I certainly will thank you for your time. Buck,

2393
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: you got any less minute comments last ones.

2394
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:30,400
Speaker 2: No best love to you, coach Man.

2395
01:52:30,479 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 4: I know how difficult this journey can be, but I'm

2396
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 4: looking forward to seeing how the RedHawks perform.

2397
01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:37,560
Speaker 5: Go absolutely, I appreciate you guys having me on.

2398
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. Really, thank you so much.

2399
01:52:40,400 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: Coach Travis Steele MI in American Conference coach of the

2400
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:46,360
Speaker 1: Miami RedHawks, and we'll be pulling for him and hopefully.

2401
01:52:46,479 --> 01:52:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there are some reports out there saying they

2402
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:50,840
Speaker 1: may have to go to the playing game. That's ridiculous.

2403
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 1: They're going. I don't know what seed they're going to get,

2404
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:55,200
Speaker 1: but they're going. They're playing in the major deal right now.

2405
01:52:55,479 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: So pretty interesting. Bucky's good guy. He really is, Travis.

2406
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:00,320
Speaker 1: That's I'm playing for a guy like that.

2407
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,120
Speaker 2: No, he definitely has them going.

2408
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:06,599
Speaker 4: And be honest, I'm gonna say this is probably better

2409
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,479
Speaker 4: for them to lose in the MAC Tournament, get all

2410
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 4: their pressure off of caring the unbeaten season.

2411
01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:13,680
Speaker 2: Now they can get back to business. Really good team.

2412
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:15,200
Speaker 2: Had a chance to watch them a couple of times.

2413
01:53:16,439 --> 01:53:18,800
Speaker 4: I've been on track, and the thing about it, as

2414
01:53:18,840 --> 01:53:20,880
Speaker 4: they go forward, it's not about being the best team

2415
01:53:20,920 --> 01:53:23,679
Speaker 4: in the country overall, it's about being the best team

2416
01:53:23,720 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 4: each weekend. If they can just break it up into

2417
01:53:25,960 --> 01:53:28,800
Speaker 4: two game tournaments, they'll find they went to the final four.

2418
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: You know, you mentioned this to me way back when

2419
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:34,920
Speaker 1: and when Bruce Pearl talked about they didn't deserve to

2420
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,640
Speaker 1: be in the tournament. You made this point to me

2421
01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:40,560
Speaker 1: several times and it stuck with me. It's not the

2422
01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:43,240
Speaker 1: best sixty four to sixty eight teams in the country.

2423
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:46,360
Speaker 1: It's a tournament, really, and we mentioned this earlier today.

2424
01:53:46,640 --> 01:53:49,760
Speaker 1: Prarieview A and m are in the tournament. Right, They're

2425
01:53:49,800 --> 01:53:51,960
Speaker 1: not one of the best sixty four to sixty eight teams,

2426
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:54,920
Speaker 1: But a tournament is different than just having the best

2427
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 1: teams and Mimi, I do believe that, but one of

2428
01:53:58,479 --> 01:54:00,800
Speaker 1: the best sixty four teams anyway. But still in all,

2429
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:03,080
Speaker 1: there was a foolish remark that Bruce Pearl said, and

2430
01:54:03,120 --> 01:54:05,240
Speaker 1: he may have said that just to get the clicks

2431
01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: that we all you mentioned too, but he did. It

2432
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:09,360
Speaker 1: went viral with that, so we'll see what happens.

2433
01:54:10,200 --> 01:54:10,360
Speaker 2: Well.

2434
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:12,639
Speaker 4: He was also stumping for his son, that's the main thing.

2435
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:16,120
Speaker 4: Like his son is head coach at Auburn. He's trying

2436
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:18,080
Speaker 4: to make a case for them to get in. And

2437
01:54:18,200 --> 01:54:20,360
Speaker 4: what we do know is what it said on the

2438
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 4: media side matters. That noise carries. That noise has an impact,

2439
01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:27,559
Speaker 4: and there can be some people that support Auburn's candency

2440
01:54:28,600 --> 01:54:31,160
Speaker 4: because of what Bruce Pearl said. But the thing that

2441
01:54:31,240 --> 01:54:33,080
Speaker 4: I love that coach talked about is guys on the

2442
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 4: outside that noise their opinion doesn't matter. And he's right,

2443
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 4: it doesn't matter what Bruce Pearl and some of the

2444
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:41,120
Speaker 4: other quote unquote experts may think about his team, and

2445
01:54:41,240 --> 01:54:43,000
Speaker 4: that stuff is about what they do and how they

2446
01:54:43,080 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 4: get ready.

2447
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 2: So I'm excited to see what it looks like.

2448
01:54:45,800 --> 01:54:48,360
Speaker 4: I'm excited to see how his team bounces back from

2449
01:54:48,400 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 4: a disappointing loss, and I'm excited to see him and

2450
01:54:50,560 --> 01:54:51,760
Speaker 4: his team play on the big stage.

2451
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's making him practice today. When you asked,

2452
01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:55,920
Speaker 1: what put.

2453
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 4: Your schedule, let's be well, because let's let's be honest

2454
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:02,160
Speaker 4: in lou you gotta anticipate, like, hey, if we do

2455
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 4: have to play in the playing game the first version

2456
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 4: of games, that's Tuesday, so Sunday Monday too, like, so

2457
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:11,960
Speaker 4: you got to be prepared for everything. And as a

2458
01:55:12,160 --> 01:55:14,160
Speaker 4: good coach, he would be doing his team of disservice

2459
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:16,480
Speaker 4: if he didn't take that into account.

2460
01:55:17,240 --> 01:55:17,640
Speaker 2: There we go.

2461
01:55:17,720 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 1: All right, He's Bucky Brooks and Andy Firman. We have

2462
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Sunday and Fox Puts Radio. It's time to

2463
01:55:23,600 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 1: say it's your fault. The playing game is freaking next.

2464
01:55:27,880 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: The blame game coming right up. It's about twelve minutes

2465
01:55:30,200 --> 01:55:32,720
Speaker 1: before the top of the hour. It's Fox Sports Sunday

2466
01:55:32,800 --> 01:55:35,360
Speaker 1: on Fox Puts Radio. He's Bucky Brooks, Amy Firman. At

2467
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:37,480
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, which will be nine am

2468
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,560
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, we have Mike Harmon, Mike Harmon

2469
01:55:40,680 --> 01:55:45,160
Speaker 1: and Ryan Hollis. But right now it is time for

2470
01:55:45,760 --> 01:55:49,320
Speaker 1: the playing game. You ruin me. It's all your fault. No,

2471
01:55:49,720 --> 01:55:50,600
Speaker 1: it's your fault.

2472
01:55:50,960 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 3: It is all your fault.

2473
01:55:55,640 --> 01:55:59,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it's everyone's fault. See the liar. That's why there's

2474
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:04,280
Speaker 1: a blame game. Let's figure out who to blame. All right,

2475
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,800
Speaker 1: we're a lying for the Fox Best Radio Studios time day.

2476
01:56:06,920 --> 01:56:09,879
Speaker 7: Let's go away, all right, Let's blame some people, everybody.

2477
01:56:10,040 --> 01:56:12,200
Speaker 7: Let's go yeah, all right, guys.

2478
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:14,960
Speaker 8: Well, the Big Twelve has now gone back to a

2479
01:56:15,040 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 8: traditional hardwood court for their tournament at t Mobile Center

2480
01:56:18,800 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 8: after that innovative led glass court had some well, slipping

2481
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:23,800
Speaker 8: in grip issues.

2482
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 7: But who do you blame for this Andy?

2483
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:29,520
Speaker 1: Well, first off, I probably would have said TV because

2484
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 1: they looked pretty nice on TV. But you gotta believe

2485
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,160
Speaker 1: that if you're gonna put a court like that down,

2486
01:56:34,400 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 1: you gotta test some You gotta test it with some

2487
01:56:36,640 --> 01:56:40,000
Speaker 1: basketball people, and some of the players are really complaining

2488
01:56:40,040 --> 01:56:43,080
Speaker 1: about lack of grip and slipping and sliding like that.

2489
01:56:43,360 --> 01:56:45,600
Speaker 1: It was injury factor and I don't think it's fair

2490
01:56:45,680 --> 01:56:48,480
Speaker 1: because they started the tournament with the LED and they

2491
01:56:48,600 --> 01:56:51,360
Speaker 1: ended it with the hardwood, So you know, some teams

2492
01:56:51,440 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 1: had an advantage, but these morons you gotta check. You know,

2493
01:56:54,840 --> 01:56:57,360
Speaker 1: beauty is great, but beauty is great, but it's gotta

2494
01:56:57,400 --> 01:56:58,320
Speaker 1: be useful as well.

2495
01:57:00,120 --> 01:57:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you got to keep the main thing

2496
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:04,440
Speaker 4: the main thing, and in despite the glitz and the

2497
01:57:04,480 --> 01:57:07,360
Speaker 4: glam that you want to put on as a marketing maven,

2498
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:10,600
Speaker 4: you got to make sure that the game still is

2499
01:57:10,680 --> 01:57:13,920
Speaker 4: at the forefront of whatever decision that you're making. So

2500
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:15,720
Speaker 4: by putting the players at risk by playing on the

2501
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 4: glass floor was not great. I am glad they made

2502
01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:22,160
Speaker 4: a decision mid tournament. To switch it, but a little

2503
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 4: over zealous when it came to putting the little pizzazz

2504
01:57:24,480 --> 01:57:25,880
Speaker 4: on the tournament doing live.

2505
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:30,360
Speaker 7: All right, well we're going next on this one, guys.

2506
01:57:30,400 --> 01:57:34,760
Speaker 8: So conference US saying the Sun Belt both included Louisiana

2507
01:57:34,920 --> 01:57:38,080
Speaker 8: Tech on their twenty twenty six football schedule, giving the

2508
01:57:38,200 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 8: Bulldogs a twenty game schedule.

2509
01:57:41,040 --> 01:57:43,560
Speaker 7: Whoa who do you blame, Bucky Brooks?

2510
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that's well, I mean it's an excusable on

2511
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:49,240
Speaker 4: both parties, Like someone should be doing the checks and

2512
01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 4: balances to make sure that you have the Bulldogs in

2513
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:53,760
Speaker 4: the right conference and you have them on the right schedule.

2514
01:57:54,440 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 4: So to me, that's a clerical error that is unacceptable

2515
01:57:57,400 --> 01:57:58,440
Speaker 4: by both for conferences.

2516
01:57:59,720 --> 01:58:02,800
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I'm glad you mentioned the term checks

2517
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,200
Speaker 1: because the athletic directors from both these schools I'd be

2518
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 1: afraid to see them balancing a checkbook. Really, it's amazing.

2519
01:58:09,920 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: How stupid can you be? I mean, honestly, you're in college.

2520
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean the kids are laughing at you right now.

2521
01:58:15,920 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 1: Think about that. You're supposed to be the leader, are

2522
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:20,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be looking up to you. You both scheduled

2523
01:58:20,640 --> 01:58:23,400
Speaker 1: the same team twenty game schedule. Something's wrong over there.

2524
01:58:23,560 --> 01:58:25,680
Speaker 1: If you're the president, take a good heart. Look at

2525
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:29,480
Speaker 1: your athletic directors. Really bump, thank you.

2526
01:58:30,400 --> 01:58:34,040
Speaker 8: We speaking of bums here we have a Clemson football coach,

2527
01:58:34,120 --> 01:58:34,920
Speaker 8: Dabo Sweeney.

2528
01:58:35,000 --> 01:58:38,520
Speaker 1: He took he's come on.

2529
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 7: Well, whether he is or isn't, I will say this.

2530
01:58:42,320 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 8: He took the blame for a disappointing seven sixth season

2531
01:58:45,960 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 8: a year ago, saying it's nobody's fault.

2532
01:58:48,400 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 7: But mind it sure was coach. But who would you

2533
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:55,000
Speaker 7: blame for permitting him to make such a fool of himself?

2534
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 7: Who do you blame?

2535
01:58:56,360 --> 01:58:56,640
Speaker 2: Mandy?

2536
01:58:57,320 --> 01:58:59,320
Speaker 1: You know what, someone's got a coach, I mean even

2537
01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:02,800
Speaker 1: an assistant. Say, Dabo, what are you doing? I mean, yeah,

2538
01:59:02,920 --> 01:59:05,120
Speaker 1: you had a head coach. The team doesn't do that, well,

2539
01:59:05,320 --> 01:59:07,120
Speaker 1: it is going to be your fault and everybody else

2540
01:59:07,200 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 1: is going to point fingers at you. The media has

2541
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,400
Speaker 1: probably did it all season long. Why are you doing that?

2542
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 1: Why are you aiding an extra log on the fire?

2543
01:59:14,280 --> 01:59:16,400
Speaker 1: It's the most foolish thing I ever saw. You know,

2544
01:59:16,600 --> 01:59:18,720
Speaker 1: he blamed it. Great, it's great that you took the

2545
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:21,360
Speaker 1: you've owned it. It's great. But the point is this,

2546
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:22,800
Speaker 1: you look stupid doing it.

2547
01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,120
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I appreciate him taking accountability for us

2548
01:59:27,120 --> 01:59:30,600
Speaker 4: a disappointing year, but he's trying to swim in difficult

2549
01:59:30,640 --> 01:59:33,640
Speaker 4: waters right now with the transfer portal nil, everyone coming

2550
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,320
Speaker 4: at him. Clipson, We'll be back. I'm confident and his

2551
01:59:37,520 --> 01:59:39,760
Speaker 4: leadership and those things. So I think this is one

2552
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 4: of the first steps in trying to get the team right.

2553
01:59:42,280 --> 01:59:44,720
Speaker 1: Wait before we continue with the next question, I gotta

2554
01:59:44,760 --> 01:59:47,839
Speaker 1: run this black Bucky. Isn't Dabbo the guy that refuses

2555
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:49,720
Speaker 1: to go into the portal and doesn't go with the

2556
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:52,560
Speaker 1: NIL and it's still recruiting high school players. You gotta

2557
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 1: get with the twenty first century there though.

2558
01:59:56,880 --> 01:59:59,440
Speaker 4: I mean, he has taken on more transfer portal guys,

2559
01:59:59,480 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 4: but there are a lot of teams that are taken

2560
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:02,800
Speaker 4: on portal guys, like Florida State, and it's not working

2561
02:00:02,840 --> 02:00:04,800
Speaker 4: for them. I think he has to do was right

2562
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:07,320
Speaker 4: for him and his team model. They've taken on more

2563
02:00:07,400 --> 02:00:09,960
Speaker 4: this year than they had in the past. But he

2564
02:00:10,080 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 4: believes in the developmental program with high school guys, and

2565
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:14,760
Speaker 4: I can't say he's wrong given his success.

2566
02:00:17,400 --> 02:00:20,960
Speaker 7: Well, you mentioned speaking of someone not working for someone anymore.

2567
02:00:21,080 --> 02:00:24,200
Speaker 8: We have you of Cincinnati, who fired their basketball coach,

2568
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:29,760
Speaker 8: Wes Miller after five seasons and not one NCAA bid here.

2569
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:32,760
Speaker 8: So John Cunningham is their athletic director. This is the

2570
02:00:32,840 --> 02:00:36,160
Speaker 8: same guy who did not hire Kurt Signetti, saying he

2571
02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:40,160
Speaker 8: had no prior Power Conference experience. Will the heat be

2572
02:00:40,320 --> 02:00:44,480
Speaker 8: more on Cunningham or his new basketball higher Who would

2573
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:46,120
Speaker 8: you blame here, Bucky.

2574
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:47,720
Speaker 5: Well?

2575
02:00:47,720 --> 02:00:50,040
Speaker 4: I mean, like I don't know, Like no one knew

2576
02:00:50,080 --> 02:00:51,560
Speaker 4: to Kurtsy that we had the kind of success that

2577
02:00:51,640 --> 02:00:53,320
Speaker 4: we have in Indiana. But yeah, there's a lot of

2578
02:00:53,360 --> 02:00:56,600
Speaker 4: pressure on him to get this right. Look as the

2579
02:00:56,680 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 4: major job Cincinnati people used to success with basketball, get

2580
02:01:00,440 --> 02:01:00,680
Speaker 4: it right.

2581
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:04,720
Speaker 1: I would say this, if I'm kurtz Signetti, I send

2582
02:01:04,800 --> 02:01:07,480
Speaker 1: a check to John Cunningham for not hiring him. He

2583
02:01:07,520 --> 02:01:10,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't have got that success He's done. He's the luckiest

2584
02:01:10,840 --> 02:01:12,440
Speaker 1: man in the face of the earth going to Indiana.

2585
02:01:12,640 --> 02:01:15,040
Speaker 1: He wouldn't have had that success in Cincinnati. And right now,

2586
02:01:15,120 --> 02:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Cunningham better make the right decision because Sadafield is not

2587
02:01:17,920 --> 02:01:20,720
Speaker 1: getting the job done in football. Wes Miller didn't get

2588
02:01:20,720 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 1: it done there in basketball, but we got it done

2589
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 1: here today, Buck, we sure did. We'll see you next Sunday.

2590
02:01:25,960 --> 02:01:28,680
Speaker 1: Thank you so much, right here on Fox Sports Radio
