Speaker 1: What's going on, Gregg? What's going on? Happy Monday News?
Speaker 1: Start to the week? Super Bowl Week? That is a
Speaker 1: lot of nudes going on around. It seems like every
Speaker 1: sport nowadays, Greg, except baseball. You know, when we're supposed
Speaker 1: to be in hot Sulf season. Some NBA news obviously
Speaker 1: going to talk about that with Anthony Davis. Uh, some
Speaker 1: NFL talk as well. You know you saw me do
Speaker 1: the little pose over to Greg holding my ribs. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the Royal rumble last night or not
Speaker 1: out here trying to sell anything. Greg, I'm in bed shape. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were telling me that this morning, and I mean
Speaker 1: I had all this stuff for you to do and
Speaker 1: that we had to accomplish. Usually, dude, I am, I'm
Speaker 1: not okay. I should not be here right now. What
Speaker 1: what what happened? Man? So in my infinite wisdom, I
Speaker 1: go out to play some two hand touch football Saturday morning.
Speaker 1: A couple of guys we have like maybe cool six
Speaker 1: seven dudes. Right, well, figure we'll get a little game,
Speaker 1: official quarterback, three on three, whatever it might be. It
Speaker 1: turns out there's like twelve other people there who also
Speaker 1: had the same idea. So we end up playing this
Speaker 1: huge like eight on eight, like three offensive linemen, three
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, two hand touch like I'm playing offense defense.
Speaker 1: We end up playing for four hours straight. It's a
Speaker 1: long time. You know. They say that thing about every
Speaker 1: NFL game it feels like your bodies in a car accident.
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I feel. It was too hand talk tackled.
Speaker 1: I mean you felt a few times like, of course
Speaker 1: there's no suggressives can't avoid like physical, Were you physical?
Speaker 1: Were you the quarterback? I tried for a little bit.
Speaker 1: I did throw a pick six. It's very bad. I'm sorry, buddy.
Speaker 1: The other quarterback wasn't getting done. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: you know what, I was rocking my McNab jersey. Know,
Speaker 1: I'll give it a try. But I also but I
Speaker 1: also like it was cold. I got like the sniffles
Speaker 1: now because of it, like allergies I feel. But I
Speaker 1: think it's also important to note for that you lost
Speaker 1: eleven pounds thus far in the month of January alcohol
Speaker 1: no carb January. I think it's incredibly impressive to do
Speaker 1: no alcohol thing. I think it's like, fine, you do
Speaker 1: it every year. No carb thing is just massively impressive,
Speaker 1: especially for you who loves carbs. Yeah, rice pasta, no bread,
Speaker 1: Kenny's sandwich. But I mean it's all gonna go away,
Speaker 1: like in one weekend. I'm gonna this weekend undo everything
Speaker 1: that I did. You think, so, yes, absolutely alright. I
Speaker 1: Like I've already planned out, like bacon and cheese Friday morning,
Speaker 1: going out for beers and Friday nights, I have pizza
Speaker 1: Sunday artichoke Friday night, right, Yeah, and the Sunday it's
Speaker 1: like wings. My family gets like a whole thing of
Speaker 1: like Popeyes, like fried chicken, wings, like homeless wings, beat
Speaker 1: more beer. Yeah, I'm gonna do everything that I did
Speaker 1: like this week, like this month, I'm gonna so noticeably.
Speaker 1: You're gonna come back on Monday just heavier. Yeah, are
Speaker 1: excited for it. But I've eat more vegetables this month
Speaker 1: than I ever have in my life. Like I've eaten
Speaker 1: vegetables I didn't know existed, Like I don't even know
Speaker 1: what they are by like these stir fry vegetables and
Speaker 1: it's like a bunch of stuff and I'm just eating it.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what it is, Like, what are
Speaker 1: those little things that you don't even know how to
Speaker 1: explain them? They kind of they look like potatoes, but
Speaker 1: they're not usually usually coming like Oriental cuisine, like water
Speaker 1: chestnuts or something like a little corn things are they
Speaker 1: even know? Not the baby corns. But I know what
Speaker 1: you're talking. I know exactly what you're talking about. Though
Speaker 1: I've never had before this month, I had that. I
Speaker 1: had that They're not good, They're not good, gross, They're disgusting. Yeah,
Speaker 1: good point roun nothing. It's in the chat. Doing the chat,
Speaker 1: you'll see what's going on. I was trying to you
Speaker 1: can ask you about my weekend, Frank, how is reeking? Greg?
Speaker 1: Did you enjoy the world rumble? Are you go? Disappointing? Frank?
Speaker 1: Your weekend was disappointing very much. That a lot of
Speaker 1: wedding wedding planning or something. Um there was what color,
Speaker 1: what color of flowers you're gonna have this year? That's
Speaker 1: not me thing, that's a duty thing. You were doing
Speaker 1: stuff like something that she's going to drag you into. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with that. Um you universe
Speaker 1: are wing plan this weekend? You texted me. I'm not really.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like comparing and contrasting stuff. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: again we're still in like the dipping our toes process
Speaker 1: that you actually have veny, Greg, like pushing fifty like
Speaker 1: this guy's gotta get it, like we understand. Like nevertheless,
Speaker 1: So Saturday night, my I was glad you trust Process.
Speaker 1: My team name in trivia is my annual trivia weekend.
Speaker 1: As you know, my team name is trust the Process.
Speaker 1: And we lost. I'm gonna tell you how bad him
Speaker 1: but didn't you win last year? Oh you can't win
Speaker 1: them all, man, even the Warrior lost chip. You can
Speaker 1: and you shall, and I feel I feel heartbroken about it.
Speaker 1: I was really upset, really upset. Well what did you
Speaker 1: what did you get stumped by? You know? Other questions
Speaker 1: is weren't in our in our u in our wheelhouse
Speaker 1: like we have? We have a lot covered. And then
Speaker 1: fortunately they asked a bunch of stuff that there's a
Speaker 1: sports question I got wrong, which is totally on me.
Speaker 1: Let me ask you two sports question, two sports questions,
Speaker 1: I remember I got both wrong. Is that cool? Sure? There?
Speaker 1: Hey is bones down there? Alex? Yeah? One second, all right,
Speaker 1: this is a good question for bones too. All right,
Speaker 1: here we go. You guys are calling for me, I'm
Speaker 1: calling for you. My god, it's not I was just
Speaker 1: talking about you. I said, Frankie's haircut looks so good
Speaker 1: at camera, so you should get matching cuts because you
Speaker 1: were seeing the side of Greg a lot cool. If
Speaker 1: you're gonna really be BFFs, get a haircut. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get I'm gonna get a haircut this week, right, Can
Speaker 1: you grow hair on your face? Not really like that?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna i am gonna get a haircut this week though?
Speaker 1: Off to all right? So I was that trivia over
Speaker 1: the weekend and they had two sports questions, both of
Speaker 1: which I got wrong. More than two sports questions, but
Speaker 1: these two phones, we're not talking about the Phillies on
Speaker 1: the seventies sixers. Why did you come on the mic?
Speaker 1: But I want to ask you this bones that was awesome.
Speaker 1: There are three baseball players that are mentioned in John
Speaker 1: Fogerty's center Field? Can you name them? I was about
Speaker 1: to say Willie, Mickey and the Duke, but that's a
Speaker 1: different So that's what Judy's father says, Willie, you know
Speaker 1: that's talking baseball, and I'm like, you're wrong. And then
Speaker 1: I got two out of the three. Hey, right? So
Speaker 1: that's so I got two out of the three. William
Speaker 1: May's is one of them. I got that correct. Are
Speaker 1: you look at my while? I played it once here
Speaker 1: in Corey like almost, so I try to go through everything.
Speaker 1: The second one I got was Joe Matt You so
Speaker 1: I knew Willie Mays Joe to Maggio. So the third
Speaker 1: one I was, I said, I went with Mickey Man
Speaker 1: was like another famous center fielder. It's not Ty Cobb,
Speaker 1: and I was upsetting myself. I gotn't wrong. That's what
Speaker 1: I should get right, and I didn't. The second question
Speaker 1: that that I didn't get right was was literally a
Speaker 1: shot who played in more playoff games? Joe Montana or
Speaker 1: John Elway. It would be Joe Montana bones. It feels
Speaker 1: like a push to me, but since you're asking, is
Speaker 1: probably a way. But I would have guessed Montana. Montana
Speaker 1: was probably in. Montana was like Montana was in a
Speaker 1: lot and lost more. Montana probably won the ones he
Speaker 1: was in. So it's who not who won, who played
Speaker 1: more playoff games, and who won more playoff games who
Speaker 1: played So we talked it out pretty much kind exactly
Speaker 1: where you guys are that Montana seems like the obvious answer,
Speaker 1: and you wonderful. You don't want to psych yourself out
Speaker 1: because then you start thinking about it too much. So
Speaker 1: we ultimately went with l Way because we knew he
Speaker 1: d three had the two Super bowl at the end
Speaker 1: of his career. We know he lost Super Bowls as well,
Speaker 1: and we figured he played longer than Montana. We just
Speaker 1: in more playoff games and we were not correct by that.
Speaker 1: So Joe Montana was was the correct answer. I have
Speaker 1: a hockey question, probably not von hockey question is gaborn? Alright?
Speaker 1: What's alright? Question? There are how many NHL teams do
Speaker 1: not their nicknames not end an sum? I believe I
Speaker 1: know for a fact, the Lightning that's one. Um, the
Speaker 1: Wilds too. Oh um, give me shoot um. I think
Speaker 1: I want to say that there's just didn't number h
Speaker 1: four write to an answer? Three? Three is correct? Colorado
Speaker 1: Avalanche is the only one. Yeah, the only one. Look
Speaker 1: at this, I'm coming through. You should have brought me
Speaker 1: to trivia. I should have the supposed to be best
Speaker 1: friends forever didn't even invite me. I didn't you want
Speaker 1: to come? I am meaning we was getting help from
Speaker 1: gab behind me. There, Yes, he's standing behind me. I
Speaker 1: mean I definitely knew that. I definitely knew those two,
Speaker 1: the first two, and then I forgot about the Avalanche.
Speaker 1: I thought there was one more, but alright, three it
Speaker 1: is John l A played in one less playoff game,
Speaker 1: son of a ba man. But that's how they get you, right,
Speaker 1: So like you think it's the obvious answer, then you
Speaker 1: kind of like start like doubting yourself a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then the next thing. You know, you kind of
Speaker 1: like f yourself up because you're just you're thinking about
Speaker 1: it too much. Unbelievably played in twenty two playoff games
Speaker 1: and l A and Montana played in Greg Robert Diggs
Speaker 1: wants to wants us to make how about those nets
Speaker 1: become a thing in regard to Corey Parson, how about
Speaker 1: those nets? That's that's what's that? What's our show? Man? No,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying because uh, I don't know what's the
Speaker 1: latest with between like Corey and Gabe and and their bet.
Speaker 1: And I think I think it's over. I think Corey's
Speaker 1: he's done. Yeah, but there were injury Like he tried
Speaker 1: to modify it once Oladipo got right right, but then
Speaker 1: we got hurt, so it kind of cancels out. No,
Speaker 1: he doesn't care, he's not doing it all right. Well,
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good segue into NBA talk anyway,
Speaker 1: and I thought, what you were trying to do, Actually,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to save that to the after the break.
Speaker 1: I thought I was using these last five minutes before
Speaker 1: we hit the break that we get the right robo.
Speaker 1: We did a whole show on it on Friday. So
Speaker 1: what do you think so at all, like your old
Speaker 1: seven hour wrestling show, Greg, dude, man, So I was. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we got there. So on Saturday when I got to
Speaker 1: Judie's house, they surprised me with like a cake cellar
Speaker 1: you my birthday? My brother is not like about a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks like, well, yeah, you're going to Florida,
Speaker 1: like we weren't sure we're gonna see you. How nice
Speaker 1: is that? Surprised with the cake? I mean a president
Speaker 1: And I thought they were just gonna the president was
Speaker 1: gonna be an envelope that was empty and with the
Speaker 1: note and it just says wedding. But they didn't. They
Speaker 1: got me a real president. It was really nice. What
Speaker 1: did they get? You? Gon me give a certificate to
Speaker 1: a restaurant that I wanted to go to? What kind
Speaker 1: of restaurant some time? Restaurant Brooklyn? Well, and I know it.
Speaker 1: You know I live closer to Brooklyn than you do, Greg,
Speaker 1: you do. It's called messy, just opened, no idea. It's
Speaker 1: basically there's no over all their pasta's and gelata. That's
Speaker 1: pretty cool, all right? Yeah, what's your favorite pasta? Are
Speaker 1: you strike me as like a Nyoki guy? Oh? Do
Speaker 1: love loo. I mean I love most posta to be fair, Um,
Speaker 1: they talk like sauce or just like strand mm hmm,
Speaker 1: give me both. It doesn't have to be together, it
Speaker 1: could be separate, right all right, So it kind of
Speaker 1: depends on the pasta. Like I really, if you want
Speaker 1: your basic pasta, I usually almost always use pen big
Speaker 1: panay fan like the noki just soaks up the sauce
Speaker 1: so well. So those are my two favorite. Probably so
Speaker 1: I kind of like the spiral ones too because it
Speaker 1: also like gets a lot of the sus in between
Speaker 1: the creases and stuff totally really really soaks it up.
Speaker 1: Great vodka sauce. Scream past love creamy pasta is probably
Speaker 1: is my favorite. I really like a lot though. Alright,
Speaker 1: So the rest of your weekend, Greg, So then we
Speaker 1: went at the birthday gift is the road rub with Now?
Speaker 1: That was the last night wanted I watched. Uh. I
Speaker 1: also watched a Netflix show, um in completion, The Bodyguard.
Speaker 1: I also finished a Netflix show this weekend. Greg wat
Speaker 1: Punisher season two. I heard good things, good things, trying
Speaker 1: to like model my haircut. Actually after the point, so
Speaker 1: I watched I finished The Bodyguard and they're like you
Speaker 1: should watch the Punisher season two. Yeah, I watched any
Speaker 1: of the other Marvel not definitely not right now was
Speaker 1: actually pretty cool, was Getting three as well. But Punishers
Speaker 1: season one and two are awesome. What what what I really
Speaker 1: like about Punisher and even some of Daredevil two is
Speaker 1: that I believe they're rated R. I mean it might
Speaker 1: even be further than that, Like they show they show violence,
Speaker 1: like they're not afraid to, Like you can't have the
Speaker 1: Punisher show without like you know, if you shoot someone,
Speaker 1: like seeing blood. It's kind of like the way I
Speaker 1: always thought about like Pirates of the Caribbeans, Like the
Speaker 1: Pirates of the Caribbean movies could have been so much
Speaker 1: better if they were like not for kids, if they
Speaker 1: weren't made by Disney, Like if you've seen someone gets stabbed,
Speaker 1: like if it was like realistic and like someone starts
Speaker 1: like spinning up blood or like whatever. So want to
Speaker 1: night was the actual main card was five hours long
Speaker 1: if you include the pre show, it was seven hours long.
Speaker 1: If you include an x T the night before, which
Speaker 1: I do not watch because I was at trivia and
Speaker 1: I watched then on Sunday, as other two and a
Speaker 1: half hours. If you would have sat there for like
Speaker 1: ten hours of wrestling. Ten hours of wrestling WW. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't have any other lives besides watching wrestling. W
Speaker 1: A like crazy, man, it's crazy like your classic Back
Speaker 1: in the day, it was like eight to eleven. Great,
Speaker 1: like there was maybe one pre show match, three and
Speaker 1: a half. You know, speaking of heat, halftime Heat next week.
Speaker 1: Great the lab with that, silly they didn't bring it
Speaker 1: back before. I love the idea halftime heat next week.
Speaker 1: If you don't want to watch Maroon five and the
Speaker 1: halftime show, you can put on their w W network.
Speaker 1: I don't know why we're randomly advertising for them, but
Speaker 1: it's awesome. You can go watch a six man tag
Speaker 1: match in the halftime of the super Bowl next week,
Speaker 1: which will be on WW. Now that's basically okay, So
Speaker 1: the Rumble was incredibly incredibly long. That's my biggest that's
Speaker 1: my biggest takeaway. Yeah, the second take predictable, But that's okay.
Speaker 1: I don't mind it being predictable. If I like where
Speaker 1: I like, if I like where it's going, he doesn't
Speaker 1: bother me. Would like the Rumble matched itself to be
Speaker 1: a little bit more unpredictable, and then I have jack
Speaker 1: Spot was kind of unpredictable. It was cool. It was cool,
Speaker 1: got okay owed by Rand Jordan's sewer kim, which is ridiculous,
Speaker 1: So that was cool. I made is takeaways. It really
Speaker 1: is this from the rumble that you watch it right,
Speaker 1: and the biggest stars of the night, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: like the ones that like actually had like star power,
Speaker 1: where Charlotte and Becky, like I would have ended the
Speaker 1: program with the women's real rumble just because of that,
Speaker 1: Like the two biggest stars of the men's side that
Speaker 1: were in the rumble end of the round ball, like
Speaker 1: it was Seth, Seth Rollins and Ron Schoman are your
Speaker 1: two biggest stars when they're in there. And I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, when Becky and Charlotte were in there finishing off,
Speaker 1: You're just like, oh boy, here we go, Like this
Speaker 1: is awesome. That's how I felt anyway. I don't want
Speaker 1: to speak for you, your brother, but like I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: this is cool with Becky and Charlotte. Let's go. But
Speaker 1: like Braun and Seth was like all right, and how
Speaker 1: about when when Lana comes out and she's like limping,
Speaker 1: like everyone know who was Becky's gonna come out now
Speaker 1: like she's super over, She's wave are olver than any
Speaker 1: many matter any now, She's the most over wrestler inw
Speaker 1: right now. So in that regard, maybe they should have
Speaker 1: done the women's work run again. They probably just didn't
Speaker 1: want to do two years in a row lading the
Speaker 1: show with the women's But you're right, I think the
Speaker 1: ending was more sought after for like fans. I think
Speaker 1: I'll take a lot of the problems we get back.
Speaker 1: We'll also get Anthony Davis next Fantasy Best Friends Forever.

Speaker 1: I can seemably have a problem with every sort of
Speaker 1: All Star game with baseball. My biggest problem is and
Speaker 1: sometimes you say, look, you don't like it. How do
Speaker 1: we fix it? I don't know. But usually it's like
Speaker 1: the first half All Star team. But for guy's a
Speaker 1: great first half, he makes the All Star team, and
Speaker 1: that we see him full off in the second half
Speaker 1: of baseball. Sundays, eight a m. Eastern on the Fantasy
Speaker 1: Sports Networking on your popular podcast providers little center field
Speaker 1: action for you it's another take away to the rumbull.
Speaker 1: I thought then, and Brock was cool. I'm issue with that.
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of members of the i w
Speaker 1: C commending Brock Blessner for how much he sold uh
Speaker 1: getting thrown into the corner of an announced table whatever. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: that was cool. I thought that Um a J and
Speaker 1: Briant was off awkward. Eric Rohan getting involved too. You
Speaker 1: know he was actually thinking about that yesterday. I wasn't
Speaker 1: expected right now. It wasn't that Brian like needed like
Speaker 1: a bodyguard, like a vegan bodyguard. So this guy is
Speaker 1: gonna be like yeah, like almost like the Diesel show
Speaker 1: Michael's type thing. I just I don't really have a
Speaker 1: problem with that. Thought Rome was an interesting choice, but whatever,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Um SmackDown Tag Champs. That was very
Speaker 1: predictable obviously. Wait what was your mat to night? Match
Speaker 1: of the night I liked. I liked the women's rumble
Speaker 1: a lot as well. Well. I felt the women's rumble
Speaker 1: was that there's twey people that you didn't care about.
Speaker 1: Like the first girl came out, I was like, who
Speaker 1: the hell is this exactly Chinese girl? I don't know,
Speaker 1: Like the first like she's wearing the sailor hat thing.
Speaker 1: Oh Evans, who the hell is she? They they pumped
Speaker 1: her up a little bit, so I'm not upset of
Speaker 1: that one. Lazy Evans is fine with the random Chinese girl.
Speaker 1: I don't know who that was. I watched the product.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was outside of the women's Casey
Speaker 1: Kasara was weird. It's like, who is this? Like she
Speaker 1: related to Chandler Ken's right, So that's what my friends
Speaker 1: are all saying too. She did have some interesting spots though, Yeah,
Speaker 1: was thrown out of the rumble. I don't know, nothing
Speaker 1: really like stands out like nothing was that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think my Next Tea was a lot better in
Speaker 1: my opinion, as it always is. But yeah, like the
Speaker 1: actual magic, like the ricochet and tag team match, like
Speaker 1: those were awesome. But it's also it's also two hours
Speaker 1: long rather than five. You know, you get tired easier.
Speaker 1: I actually thought that the Becky Oscar is awesome. I
Speaker 1: really like Beckynsca. That Sasha Ronda was good. Not as
Speaker 1: good as Becky Osca, but it was good. Yep. The
Speaker 1: women just dominating Grady all over, and I'm just being
Speaker 1: like totally transparent. I was more into those matches than
Speaker 1: the dudes. The matches. Yeah, it was good, it was
Speaker 1: really it was really good match. All right, Um, anything else,
Speaker 1: they're all around one? Anything else? Were they going? Now
Speaker 1: it's done, We're we're onto fast lane chamber. I think
Speaker 1: there are I think the elimination chambering up next. Too
Speaker 1: many things. We're up to halftime heat. Okay, interesting a right,
Speaker 1: So I just saw a rumor about but Daniel Bryan's
Speaker 1: opponent Rustlemania could be Bray Wyatt. It could be cool.
Speaker 1: Oh not like we've ever seen this before. They had
Speaker 1: a good match then, okay, Um, so the big story today.
Speaker 1: We're eating the Super Bowl stuff a little bit later on.
Speaker 1: But the big story today when we walked into the
Speaker 1: office this morning was that Anthony Davis and his agent
Speaker 1: Rich Paul have requested a trade in the New Orleans Hornets,
Speaker 1: and they said would be the best interest in the
Speaker 1: doing the New Orleans Pelicans. They said that they would
Speaker 1: do this because there it's the best interest of the Hornets,
Speaker 1: the Helicans. I don't like keep saying Hornets the Pelicans,
Speaker 1: because hey, Anthony Davis is not going to resign here
Speaker 1: so trade him now so you can get the best
Speaker 1: for your best for your buck. Well, here's where that's
Speaker 1: just none of that that is true because you don't
Speaker 1: play it through the media. If you want a team
Speaker 1: to get the best for its buck, you keep it
Speaker 1: very silent. You don't make teams know that you're not
Speaker 1: gonna do that. You're not You don't have the best
Speaker 1: interest at heart for the New Orleans Alicans. You have
Speaker 1: your best interest at hearts. I think it is also
Speaker 1: notable that he is out injured again with the finger
Speaker 1: injury that, depending on how serious his trade request is,
Speaker 1: may take a little extra walk long to heal potentially.
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that everyone now connecting with the
Speaker 1: Lakers because that's where everybody is scus he wants to go. Now,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of other teams in the league that
Speaker 1: may know want that may want to take a shot
Speaker 1: on Anthony Davis and trying to make it like Paul
Speaker 1: George where he resigns there like Toronto is done with
Speaker 1: Kai Letard. But nevertheless Rich Paul who happens to do
Speaker 1: all to be Lebron james best friend and represents Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: This question changed from New Orleans and Anthony Davis, they say,
Speaker 1: wants to land on a team where he can be
Speaker 1: he can be on a contender, a chance to win
Speaker 1: a championship. So those people who automatically throughout like the
Speaker 1: New York Knicks and like ESPN, like every time you see, oh,
Speaker 1: this players in the Blox, like, oh, somehow the Knicks
Speaker 1: hats get involved, right, Like, No, the Knicks are not
Speaker 1: going to get involved, and he wants to go to
Speaker 1: a contender, so he's not going to the New York Knicks.
Speaker 1: I do have updated odds via odds Shark what team
Speaker 1: Andthony Davis will be on for the first game of
Speaker 1: the twenty NBA season. Lakers are the favorite right now,
Speaker 1: but it's close. They are minus The Celtics are plus
Speaker 1: one fifty, so it's not that far off. The Pelicans
Speaker 1: are plus six hundred, the Knicks again plus eight fifty.
Speaker 1: The seventy sixers are plus eight fifty as well. When
Speaker 1: I do find interesting about this, Greg, why does the
Speaker 1: agent bring up the possibility of Anthony Davis wanting to
Speaker 1: be traded now if he knows the Celtics can't offer
Speaker 1: a trade until the summer, right because due to like
Speaker 1: the Rose rule, they can't make another trade or a
Speaker 1: trade of this caliber until Kyrie Irving finishes out this contract.
Speaker 1: So if they choose to resign Kyrie Irving in the
Speaker 1: all SAG, so I basically they can't take a trade
Speaker 1: offer until the summer. They saw, I saw that. What
Speaker 1: is that? What is the Rose rule? I didn't really
Speaker 1: understand it. I'll look more into it because to be honest,
Speaker 1: I don't really have the exact details. But it's like,
Speaker 1: because they already traded for Kyrie Irving, they can't make
Speaker 1: another trade of like that caliber. Like I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly what it is, but I do know that the
Speaker 1: Celtics cannot formally make an offer or trade for Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis right now until the summer. And they still do
Speaker 1: have like a couple of other first round picks aside
Speaker 1: from like their own coming up. Like they have the Kings,
Speaker 1: which might be like a board a line lottery draft
Speaker 1: pick in the first round uh this year because the
Speaker 1: Kings are actually competitive, and then they have like the Grizzlies,
Speaker 1: Like it's the Grizzlies either this year it is like
Speaker 1: a top eight protected. Next year is like a top
Speaker 1: six protected. And then like is completely unprotected. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: I heard all that, and it why do the Celtics
Speaker 1: have so many draft picks. Dane's out here playing chess
Speaker 1: and everyone else is out here plane checkers. So it
Speaker 1: makes no sense to me. Theoretically, if you really had
Speaker 1: the best interests at heart of New Orleans Pelicans and
Speaker 1: that you would announce this now when the Celtics are
Speaker 1: unable to trade are unable to make an offer for
Speaker 1: your client. You do this now when your client wants
Speaker 1: to go play for l A, when l A has
Speaker 1: the best assets, where your best friend Lebron James resides.
Speaker 1: You do this now because the Celtics can't make an offer.
Speaker 1: And depending on how much pressure you put on the Pelicans,
Speaker 1: that's how serious that can. Now. If you pay the
Speaker 1: pressure on and say, hey, I want to be traded
Speaker 1: before next season, all good. And that's what the Pelicans
Speaker 1: shouldn't be. They should wait until after next season, after
Speaker 1: the season is over, so teams like the Celtics get
Speaker 1: involved some more. Teams could line up their ducks in
Speaker 1: a row. There's no reason to rush into this. Your
Speaker 1: training your corners or someone you're training your future, you're
Speaker 1: training your present. You have to set yourself up as
Speaker 1: best as possible. And if you believe the Celtics offered
Speaker 1: does that, then then wait, Lakers aren't going anywhere, right, Like,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are still gonna want to trade for Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis in July. They're not gonna trade away Alonzo Balls,
Speaker 1: like Kyo kuz Mother Viza watches the um Brandon Ingram's,
Speaker 1: They'll all be there. So what are you rushing for?
Speaker 1: What's the worst that can happen? Anthony Davis doesn't show
Speaker 1: up anymore, so you lose. You're got a better draft pick.
Speaker 1: So what they should not succumb to the pressure and
Speaker 1: trade Anthony Davis now wait it out, Especially when a
Speaker 1: lot of people think that the Boston Celtics are the
Speaker 1: team that can offer the best trade because they have
Speaker 1: guys like Jayson Tatum, and they have Jalen Brown, and
Speaker 1: they have all these draft picks. You know, not to
Speaker 1: downplay what the Lakers can offer, because I think the
Speaker 1: Lakers can put together a very good competitive offer as well.
Speaker 1: You mentioned Lonzo Ball and Zoobos. The way that Zubos
Speaker 1: is playing right now, I mean that could be your
Speaker 1: center of the future if you trade away and Anthony
Speaker 1: Davis and you get a point guard and Lonzo Ball.
Speaker 1: It depends, you know, how much faith you have in
Speaker 1: him for the future. He's been injury prone, He's shown
Speaker 1: a few flashes here, but then he also you know,
Speaker 1: with Lonzo Ball comes LaVar Ball and you know all
Speaker 1: that whatever. But then there's Kyle Kuzma in Brandon English.
Speaker 1: So like, the Lakers can definitely put together and offer
Speaker 1: close to, if not better than, what the Celtics can.
Speaker 1: But a lot of people consider the Celtics to be
Speaker 1: the team that has the best um, has the best
Speaker 1: assets right now in terms of trading. So greg I
Speaker 1: looked up the Rose Rule. Here we go if the
Speaker 1: it's the so called Rose rule and has it has
Speaker 1: to do with the presence of Kyrie Irving Back in
Speaker 1: the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement included a rule named
Speaker 1: after Derrick Rose from ESPN. The rule allows a player
Speaker 1: finishing his rookie contract to make thirty percent of a
Speaker 1: team's salary cap, up from if he's twice has been
Speaker 1: voted an All Star starter, twice's been voted All NBA,
Speaker 1: or won an m v P Award. It was named
Speaker 1: after Rose because he was the NBA m v P
Speaker 1: a rule that would reward players who exceeded their value
Speaker 1: while on their rookie deals. Why is that a problem
Speaker 1: for a Davis and Sully treated Because the NBA teams
Speaker 1: are only allowed to have one player who signed a
Speaker 1: Rose Rule extension and are still on that contract. Both
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving and Davis received Rose Rule extensions on their
Speaker 1: current contracts, so that so that I mean, that's that's
Speaker 1: the answer. Basically, both Anthony Davis and Derrick Rose outplay
Speaker 1: the rookie deals. I'll play the rookie deals. So they
Speaker 1: got the early massive extensions and these cells had one
Speaker 1: that's Kyrie Irving, so they can't acquire Anthony Davis. But
Speaker 1: you gotta agree with me right that there's no reason
Speaker 1: the Pelicans should make a deal now because the Lakers
Speaker 1: offers not going anywhere. I'm not even like they made light.
Speaker 1: The Lakers offer better. I'm not saying they wouldn't, but
Speaker 1: Magic Johnson is not going and and their general manager.
Speaker 1: But they're not gonna stand on ceremonies, you know, but
Speaker 1: from their perspective, I mean, and it's not likely, but
Speaker 1: the Lakers maybe use it as leverage they could say, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't take an offer, now we're gonna go
Speaker 1: and try and trade for another superstar and then all
Speaker 1: these assets are gone. I don't know who I'm saying,
Speaker 1: but here's the thing, I don't know what the shooter star.
Speaker 1: It's like Anthony Davis any dame is the top five,
Speaker 1: top ten at worst NBA player in the league. He
Speaker 1: matches up perfectly with Lebron James obviously, So you don't
Speaker 1: have to be someone who's like expiring gonna be a
Speaker 1: free agent like obviously, Duran is not gonna be traded,
Speaker 1: Kauai is not gonna be traded, right, Clay Thompson is
Speaker 1: not being traded, right. So did I go out and
Speaker 1: get anybody Kemba Walker? Shure, go get Kemba Walker's Anthony Davis?
Speaker 1: That might be something? Fine? Fine, what does do you
Speaker 1: think that Lamber Walker? And No, I mean me realistically,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like I'm just playing Devil's ads and
Speaker 1: that and that's fine. Do you think the Lakers are
Speaker 1: really going to use all their assets to trade in
Speaker 1: for Kemba Walker as good as Kemba is. No, there's
Speaker 1: because you wouldn't have to give up as many assets
Speaker 1: for Kemba Walker as you would have to do for
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis. Maybe like they'd be like, all right, we'll
Speaker 1: give you Loronzo Ball at the first round pick for
Speaker 1: Kemba Walker, right, and then you still have other assets available.
Speaker 1: They will not, I can promise you this, The Lakers
Speaker 1: will not do anything with their assets that jeopardizes then
Speaker 1: the opportunity to trade for Anthony Davis with Rich Paul
Speaker 1: is the Asian who is also a bronze Asian. They
Speaker 1: might come out now because trying if he wants to play,
Speaker 1: he wants to play with the Lakers. They are doing
Speaker 1: this to try to pressure the Pelicans right now to
Speaker 1: train them to the Lakers one thousand percent. But if
Speaker 1: you're the Pelicans, maybe he doesn't want to be a sultan,
Speaker 1: you're yes, sure. But if you're the Pelicans who have
Speaker 1: the control in this situation, if that you're right, because
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play and he just sits out, then yes,
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. They just got a better draft pick.
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, like they're not going anywhere to this year. Correct,
Speaker 1: There is no downside. There is zero downside to wait
Speaker 1: to eat the Pelicans too many times you have teams
Speaker 1: like the Nuggets are on a great example because they
Speaker 1: got a ton from the Knicks with the Knicks are idiots.
Speaker 1: But too many times teams try to do right by
Speaker 1: their franchise player. Now that I don't want to ever
Speaker 1: really sign with the owners who were greeting all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I believe in that. But too many times you have
Speaker 1: owners and teams. I want to do right by the player,
Speaker 1: like he tried really hard for me. I want to
Speaker 1: send him where he where he wants to go. Does
Speaker 1: that really happen at all? Yeah? I do. I think
Speaker 1: it happens too often. Probably does always happened, But that
Speaker 1: makes I think so you gotta do it's right for
Speaker 1: your team. And what's right for your team is hearing
Speaker 1: the best offers by trading Anthony Davis. Now, one team
Speaker 1: that you know will be interested, that's going to make
Speaker 1: a competitive offer, is not available or eligible to do so.
Speaker 1: How can you make a trade if you may be
Speaker 1: making a tree with the second best offer, knowing that
Speaker 1: that offers not going anywhere. This is a power play
Speaker 1: by Rich Paul. It's a power played by Anthony Davis.
Speaker 1: And all he can do is what Kawhi letter did
Speaker 1: last year, which would sit out, and if he sits out,
Speaker 1: the lose games, which is what they're doing now. Anyway,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to trade him now, you gotta wait.
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, what you just said reminded me of
Speaker 1: a quote from David Fizdale over the weekend. Did you
Speaker 1: see it and his cancer with Candra stuff. He's right,
Speaker 1: It's just like they asked him about um whatever the
Speaker 1: nis cancer situation with the New York Knicks, and he says, well,
Speaker 1: we can't play worst than we're playing right now, which
Speaker 1: I thought was hilarious. But he basically said, like, and
Speaker 1: his cancer wants to be traded, And they basically said,
Speaker 1: what happens if he doesn't? He is he gonna be distractions?
Speaker 1: Is he gonna is he gonna hurt the teams? Like? What?
Speaker 1: Are we gonna lose more games? I thought it was hilarious, hilarious,
Speaker 1: But these these odds tell you everything that you need
Speaker 1: to know, right, these odds about like where Anthony Davis
Speaker 1: will play next year, Lakers, Celtics, The next closest is
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, and then the Knicks and seventies sixers. That
Speaker 1: tells you everything you need to know. The only two
Speaker 1: teams that can really give a competitive offer right now
Speaker 1: out based on where they are, the young assets that
Speaker 1: they have, the draft capital that they have in the
Speaker 1: future are the Lakers in the Celtics. Am I missing someone? Greg?
Speaker 1: Is there anyone else out there that can compete with
Speaker 1: those two in terms of what they can give up
Speaker 1: unless they're giving up like a proven superstar and that
Speaker 1: those teams aren't listed right now because it's just not realistic.
Speaker 1: Like if the Blazers came out randomly and they're like,
Speaker 1: we'll give you Damian Lillard, Like all right, but it's
Speaker 1: not realistic. What about can you just let's just use
Speaker 1: the Blazers an example. What do the Blazers give up
Speaker 1: CJ McCollum the first round? Pa, Okay, that's maybe, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know what's talking about it because it hasn't been
Speaker 1: like floated out there because you don't want to go
Speaker 1: to Portland exactly because Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard enough
Speaker 1: to make them a contender, Like no, probably just be
Speaker 1: a word they always are, Like Blazers will be like
Speaker 1: a top five or six team. I just don't know
Speaker 1: what other team because the Lakers and Lebron knew all along.
Speaker 1: Like Lebron is super smart. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He obviously went to a team. Do you think he
Speaker 1: went to the Lakers just so like he can teach
Speaker 1: all of them how to play basketball right, become a
Speaker 1: cohesive unit and grow together. No, he goes to this
Speaker 1: team and he sees, oh, we have all these young assets.
Speaker 1: When I want to trade for Anthony Davis, I'll make
Speaker 1: it happen. And it's good for my brand to be
Speaker 1: in l A and Hollywood, the whole fine, like families
Speaker 1: out there, Like kid's gonna play like high school ball
Speaker 1: there in California. Like he knows what he's doing. It
Speaker 1: wasn't just like, oh, I want to mentor these young kids.
Speaker 1: And he also knows he's agent. He's one of his
Speaker 1: best friends since childhood. Rich Paulver says Anthony Davis. This
Speaker 1: is all pre orchestrated. This is all a plan. Like now,
Speaker 1: I wonder, Frank that this hamstring injury that Lebron's badly
Speaker 1: maybe it was. Maybe he's just been sitting down with
Speaker 1: like the fur office the entire time, like when these
Speaker 1: games and he's going into the office with like Polinka
Speaker 1: and Magic. Johnson's like, oh, well, you know, let's map
Speaker 1: this out. Here's what we're gonna do with the trade.
Speaker 1: Tony's basically the GM. But take that stuff first, coach.
Speaker 1: They think that's the further dude. Maybe it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: look at these young guys. They suck. They can't win.
Speaker 1: We need help. I can't win with these guys. I
Speaker 1: don't think they suck. Did you watch that tweeting last night?
Speaker 1: I know I knew exactly where you were going. Did
Speaker 1: you watch that you didn't drink and check out a
Speaker 1: tweet I retweeted last night from the Sons Lakers game.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just the Suns that looked pathetic. The Phoenix
Speaker 1: Suns were just rubbing off to the Lakers. It wasn't
Speaker 1: just the Suns that looked pathetic, it was Lakers. I
Speaker 1: retweeted it last night. Please go back and check in.
Speaker 1: It was the most horrid basketball I've ever seen played
Speaker 1: at any level of this game, from when I was
Speaker 1: playing elementary school basketball to the NBA. It was very bad.
Speaker 1: It was awful. It was running. I'm running down teams
Speaker 1: right now. Great to see like who might have the
Speaker 1: assets like pull something off like this Alice Mavericks have
Speaker 1: a lot of young players, but if they trade away
Speaker 1: their young players, like they're not going to be good anymore,
Speaker 1: so that that would make sense. Sacramento Kings have a
Speaker 1: lot of young players well, but kind of similar situation,
Speaker 1: like you trade away badly. You traded away Daron Fox,
Speaker 1: like who else has left on the Kings anyway. But
Speaker 1: Denver Nuggets are interesting because it Denver young to have
Speaker 1: young players like they have Jamal Murray the questions but
Speaker 1: like any of these teams dealing, he's not gonna resign
Speaker 1: that he's not gonna Resigny would rather be in l A,
Speaker 1: would rather be in Boston teams that have like history.

Speaker 1: he died just his mustache, blonde and one dreadlock. Why?
Speaker 1: I don't know what is that about. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm trying to get that area. Look,
Speaker 1: I have no idea. It just looks crazy. He looks
Speaker 1: like an insane person. I saw the mustache. It's not
Speaker 1: a good look. No, it's not. None of it's a
Speaker 1: good look. It's terrible. Saturday's two pm Eastern on the
Speaker 1: Fantasy Sports networking on Your Bobby Larst podcast, providers back
Speaker 1: with you Fantasy best Friends Forever, Fantasy Sports Radio Network
Speaker 1: Anymore in a ven if you woke up with the
Speaker 1: Nicks for a second with him, I mean, Frank I
Speaker 1: Sola is throwing stuff out there. Brian Windhors, obviously like
Speaker 1: big like Lebron representative basically follows Lebron around his career
Speaker 1: up in the media, went on ESPN today and said,
Speaker 1: don't be surprised if the Knicks are like the dark Horse,
Speaker 1: like lurking around here. If they're willing to give up
Speaker 1: that first round pick unprotected, which as of right now
Speaker 1: is expecting to be, you know, a top three pick
Speaker 1: based on this draft class to Zion Williams and R. J.
Speaker 1: Barrett and now Morant who is now John Morant who
Speaker 1: is now kind of stepping up. Some people think that
Speaker 1: he should go first overall, uh instead of Zion Willimpson
Speaker 1: out of Murray State. Did you see him dunk over
Speaker 1: someone Vince Carter style? I did. Did he really go
Speaker 1: over Zion? No? No, no, But I think it makes
Speaker 1: you feel better as of right now, because the way
Speaker 1: that the NBA Draft is set up now is if
Speaker 1: you are in the bottom three teams in terms of
Speaker 1: in the lottery, the bottom three records, you all have
Speaker 1: the same odds of getting the number one overall picks.
Speaker 1: This is gonna be finally the worst. No, but I
Speaker 1: think that there's three clear cut candidates greg So, like
Speaker 1: even if they are in the bottom three, like, okay,
Speaker 1: if they don't get number one and you miss out
Speaker 1: on Zion, it's not the worst thing because then you
Speaker 1: still get R. J. Barrett, where you still get John Moran.
Speaker 1: So I think this year more than ever, like there's
Speaker 1: a clear cut like top three candidates, so to do that,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be annoyed that this is like the
Speaker 1: one year the Knicks have the worst record in the
Speaker 1: NBA and that that other people have a shot. Just
Speaker 1: be frustrated. Look, they always fixed the number on overall
Speaker 1: pick too. It's like who do they want? What team
Speaker 1: do they want? Zion? It's gonna be the Knicks, right
Speaker 1: they that we are unless they want him to be
Speaker 1: the next coming of like Lebron and he goes to
Speaker 1: where he can be. They're gonna give Cleveland another number
Speaker 1: one pick, Phoenix, they had Lebron, they had Kyrie. Give
Speaker 1: Chicago the number one pick. Yeah, but with Zion still
Speaker 1: would he be the guy there too? Yeah? I mean
Speaker 1: they have other names though, like they have marketing they
Speaker 1: have he'd be the guy in Chicago. Yeah, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of Like it's gonna be one of those threets,
Speaker 1: It'll be Nicks. Know what's interesting The reason you hear
Speaker 1: about the Nicks Nanthony Davis, because it's New York and
Speaker 1: they have a couple of get the Knicks involved. They're
Speaker 1: saying KP and like the first round pick that would
Speaker 1: don't probably do it, but then I saw I saw
Speaker 1: a tweet from Nicks be writers. That's say, you know,
Speaker 1: if you float Hayp's name out there in trade talks,
Speaker 1: how is that going to be received by him? Like,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that you want to resign in
Speaker 1: the off sea, So they don't offended? Yeah, maybe you'll
Speaker 1: be flattered. Maybe so you want to trade me for
Speaker 1: Andy Davis? I think you're training me in pretty high regard. Pelicans.
Speaker 1: Would you would do that? They would trade pet they
Speaker 1: would trade for Christos Kps are restricted free agents, so
Speaker 1: the Nicks can match any offer that he receives in
Speaker 1: the off season. So it happens with that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I imagine he'll get either a max are close to
Speaker 1: I mean a guy like Otto Porter got a max
Speaker 1: contract and the Wizards ended up matching that, and the
Speaker 1: Wizards regret that every single day they regret that or
Speaker 1: do they regret resigning John Walmore? Both? Yeah, what do
Speaker 1: the net Nets have any ashes the Pelicans would want?
Speaker 1: They would have to give up, well, they would have
Speaker 1: to give up T'angelo Russell, Jared Allen and unprotected first
Speaker 1: round pick. I'd probably I'd probably get it started. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe you probably have to throw more on top about
Speaker 1: don't you do that though the Angelo Russell Jared Allen
Speaker 1: I doesn't do when he heard it's very tough to
Speaker 1: do that right now. And they have enough cap space
Speaker 1: to sign a max free agent and Offseas Walker grew
Speaker 1: up in Brooklyn. That's an interesting one. I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: not bad. Um. So they have a good thing going though,
Speaker 1: with like the nucleus they have right now. I agree,
Speaker 1: what do you can bring someone like Anthony Davis? You
Speaker 1: do it? I don't disagree, but I feel like Kenny
Speaker 1: Atkinson has been really good at like coaching oriented, team oriented,
Speaker 1: not like base around one superstar, totally totally um. Over
Speaker 1: the weekend, the Patriots had their set Cell party where
Speaker 1: they everyone goes to Boston. They say bye. It's very strange.
Speaker 1: I mean, they can't ever wonder why people hate them. Like,
Speaker 1: it's it's very strange. Brandy was asked like, hey, man, like,
Speaker 1: you win your first Super Bowl against the Rams. All
Speaker 1: these years later, you win another one against the Rams?
Speaker 1: If you do that? Is that it? Do you say goodbye?
Speaker 1: He's like, do you do they listen to me at all? Ever?
Speaker 1: What the f is role with you? I'm not going anywhere,
Speaker 1: asked him the percentage chance that he would retire if
Speaker 1: he wins zero. He's not going anywhere. He has said
Speaker 1: repeatedly he wants to play at least like two to
Speaker 1: three more years. He said he wants to play at
Speaker 1: least forty five. He's currently forty one. It's four more years.
Speaker 1: Crazy to think of. No, Also, Pagers don't have a
Speaker 1: ready made replacement as they do with Jimmy g He's
Speaker 1: not going out right replacement. Bryan Hwyre's not the guy.
Speaker 1: So I'm shocked that the Boston media and that people
Speaker 1: are talking about this today as we talk about it.
Speaker 1: I'm shocking people are talking about this today. It's always
Speaker 1: a conversation though, Greg, because you know, he's not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: He's been very clear and honest. I'm not going anywhere.
Speaker 1: I want to play to him forty five and he's
Speaker 1: good enough. Well, how often do people in the media
Speaker 1: talk about things that are never gonna happen, Greg, Like
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis to the Knicks. It happens all the time.
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's not retiring either. Pretty cool story about Nickell.
Speaker 1: Robie Coleman on on Bleacher Report, like he doesn't very
Speaker 1: dumb things this week they did. Yeah, for sure they did.
Speaker 1: They did a long form feature on him after last
Speaker 1: week's debacle, whatever you would call it. Um, he's a
Speaker 1: really interesting dude and he he's on record he hates
Speaker 1: the Patriots because like he was originally undrafted free agent
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills that's played against them before. Um.
Speaker 1: He he has used the word hate multiple times. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he also said that, like, wonder, I wonder
Speaker 1: if we get a prop on uh the over under
Speaker 1: penalties called on Kelly Roby Coleman in the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1: Also I also saw like he called Brady one and
Speaker 1: a half too and a half. He called Brady out
Speaker 1: for being like a step slower than he used to
Speaker 1: be or something like that, and like three times. I
Speaker 1: think he's technically wrong though, but basically, what are you
Speaker 1: out of your What Robie Coleman was saying was that
Speaker 1: he still does what he's always done, but the Patriots
Speaker 1: are having him do it less, which is not wrong. Like,
Speaker 1: if you look at the paths to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: right now, the Patriots have taken it's run, run, run,
Speaker 1: Greg and the past. When you have to mind you,
Speaker 1: when they have to Tom Brady is still throwing precision passes,
Speaker 1: like all these throws that he's throwing to Julian Edelman,
Speaker 1: like not everybody can just make the storys like he's
Speaker 1: putting those throws in the in the exact spot they
Speaker 1: need to be that Julian Edelman can catch this ball
Speaker 1: and continue running, or you know, when he's throwing up
Speaker 1: a jump ball to Robn COWSI like, these are well timed,
Speaker 1: like well calculated passes. It's not like anyone who's making
Speaker 1: these passes. So I'm Brady can still get it done.
Speaker 1: But I think what was interesting about what Robie Coleman
Speaker 1: said was that he's they're just not relying on Tom
Speaker 1: Brady to do as much as he's done in years
Speaker 1: past this year, which I think it's true based on
Speaker 1: their path to the Super Bowl, they've been run, run, run, Greg,
Speaker 1: What good does it come out to say that? What
Speaker 1: do you accomplish by saying that? Well, I think it's
Speaker 1: it's some gamesmanship, obviously, Greg. He's trying to get inside
Speaker 1: the Patriots head the way that the Patriots due to
Speaker 1: everybody else, right, So his thinking might be, well, you know,
Speaker 1: if I called Tom Brady out, maybe they'll abandon the
Speaker 1: game plan that they had the past couple of game games.
Speaker 1: Are that that just might be his thinking? No way,
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, if I call out Tom Brady, maybe
Speaker 1: they start off the game throwing the ball more than
Speaker 1: they have. They've just been run, run, running all over
Speaker 1: their opponent. Prefer that to continue? They're probably going to.
Speaker 1: I would very much prefer that. I know because selfishly,
Speaker 1: you have Sony Michelle and your fantasy playoff pool correct
Speaker 1: which if you win, I kind of want you to
Speaker 1: win two because then you buy me lunch. You talk
Speaker 1: about bulletin board. Absolutely, I told me to buy lunch anyway.
Speaker 1: So thank you, welcome Greg. What do I help you
Speaker 1: do that? Chick? You we ran it all right? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I told you, told you by lunch. I tried to
Speaker 1: hold down. You did a fantastic job. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to buy your lunch next week when you eat again,
Speaker 1: what are we gonna eat? What do you want? We'll
Speaker 1: figure it out, Okay, Chick fil a shakes shack something
Speaker 1: like that. You got it. I missed those days, so
Speaker 1: we'll do It's been a while in a while. Stained
Speaker 1: If you're stained, gain you love the song outside it's
Speaker 1: great all the out I'm looking in here. So I
Speaker 1: mentioned bullets and more material. And I read a story
Speaker 1: this morning. It was a football Morning in America that
Speaker 1: Peter King writes down with formerly mm QB, and he
Speaker 1: talked about Robert Woods and something he said last week.
Speaker 1: Did you see this? So Robert Woods was asked about
Speaker 1: it being loud in New Orleans. This is before the
Speaker 1: game against the Sands, and he was asked about it
Speaker 1: being loud. He's like, listen, yeah, it'll be loud, but
Speaker 1: like we played there before and it's gonna be loud
Speaker 1: for them on defense too. And basically they took that
Speaker 1: quote and I didn't get it the exact quote. I paraphrase.
Speaker 1: They took the exact quote, and during one of the
Speaker 1: commercials they played the exact interview on the scoreboard and
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz and the crowd just got angry and louder
Speaker 1: and louder and louder, and Sean McVeigh was like, Robert,
Speaker 1: whatever you doing, dude? Like what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Why did you do that? And after that, I thought
Speaker 1: the players on Sean mc his team would become a
Speaker 1: little bit smarter and be like, I'm not to anything
Speaker 1: like this, but he didn't. He didn't, And here we
Speaker 1: go again. Sean McVeigh has coached against Bill Belichick as
Speaker 1: a head coach or as a coordinator one time. One
Speaker 1: time with Washington. I believe Jay Grunen's first season, ish
Speaker 1: I want to say, so is the quarterbacks coach or
Speaker 1: the factive office coordinator or whatever. Belichick and the Patriots
Speaker 1: defeated Washington thirty four to ten. The only touchdown that Washington,
Speaker 1: the only touchdown Washington score was in garbage time. This
Speaker 1: all comes from the MMQB or the f M. I
Speaker 1: a article we're McVeigh interviewed Peter King and he basically
Speaker 1: said that, like there, how prepared New England was just
Speaker 1: like a totally different level it. Basically he said that
Speaker 1: Map Patricia and Bill Belichick kick the crap out of
Speaker 1: the Rams, like destroyed them, and he has to be prepared.
Speaker 1: Peter King asked him, be like, hey, like what do
Speaker 1: you make of Josh McDaniels, like putting in eight plays
Speaker 1: that like they had not called before and formations they've
Speaker 1: never seen before on game day? What do you make
Speaker 1: of that? And he goes, honestly, last year in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Doug Peterson did that had a play call
Speaker 1: on the game winning touchdown where he had like four
Speaker 1: wide receivers to one side Zach ERT's left, and that
Speaker 1: Patrician mouth like, hey, we got a double cover Earth.
Speaker 1: They couldn't do it in time as they've never seen
Speaker 1: it before, and Doug Peterson, with all of his creativity
Speaker 1: was able to surprise the Patriots. And right, so, one
Speaker 1: of the big criticisms of Sean McVeigh was in ability
Speaker 1: has been the inability to adjust. Where it's like he's
Speaker 1: got this thing that worked and it always works. Can
Speaker 1: he adjust against a mastermind of adjustments in Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and and take it to him? And I don't know
Speaker 1: the answer to that question. Think it's very very tough
Speaker 1: to fit to decide and I think old you won't
Speaker 1: know until the game starts. I think more so what
Speaker 1: it is Greg is you mentioned about like McDaniels and
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense like having new things. Well that was
Speaker 1: last week against the Chiefs, right, Like they had like
Speaker 1: new formations and like things that they've never done before.
Speaker 1: That was in the game against the Chiefs. So what
Speaker 1: McVeigh needs to do and if he is this creative
Speaker 1: offensive genius that we all think and know that he is.
Speaker 1: What he needs to do is the same exact thing.
Speaker 1: He needs to have looks, schemes, plays that they haven't
Speaker 1: seen on tape before, like that Belocheck and that Brian Flores,
Speaker 1: who you know, when they're trying to come up with
Speaker 1: a defensive game plan against the Rams for the for
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. You need to have things that he's
Speaker 1: never seen before. That's what it took last year to
Speaker 1: beat him, right with Doug Peterson, like the Philly Special
Speaker 1: and coming up with like all these creative kind of plays, right, Greg,
Speaker 1: That's exactly what mcveigh's gonna do. The thing is, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna know if he actually realized that himself until
Speaker 1: after the game starts. No one's gonna tip their hand, obviously,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna know, and so we obviously see those
Speaker 1: plays happen. But there are, like there were legitimately things
Speaker 1: that the Patriots did that were like plays out of
Speaker 1: the Chiefs playbooks. They did. They ran plays out of
Speaker 1: the Chiefs playbook that they hadn't run all season long.
Speaker 1: That's the type of like sick twisted mentality that Sean
Speaker 1: McVeigh and the Rams if they want to have a
Speaker 1: shot in this game. Because as of right now it's
Speaker 1: very early on in the week, we're not gonna give
Speaker 1: our predictions yet. But like I'll tell you right now,
Speaker 1: I'm leaning with the Patriots. It doesn't feel good out
Speaker 1: but if you want any opportunity to hang with this team,
Speaker 1: you have to try and outsmart the smartest team in football.
Speaker 1: You have to do things that they've never seen before.
Speaker 1: This is put up a shut up time for Sean McVeigh,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because it's only like his second year
Speaker 1: is the head coach. But everyone calls you the most
Speaker 1: creative mind, offensive mind, or one of them in football.
Speaker 1: Now is the time to show it. That's the only
Speaker 1: way you have a shot. We saw it last year,
Speaker 1: Like normally there's like there's no outsmarting Bill Belichick, Right,
Speaker 1: Peterson did it last you didn't? He absolutely did. We
Speaker 1: I don't want to sign it off a YouTube Corey
Speaker 1: parts Leepers Adventure, Jim Day or Next Fantasy Ball Frenzy
Speaker 1: live here on the Fantasy Sports Network like subscribe rate us,
Speaker 1: give us five stars, Please leave a comment as well.
Speaker 1: We're live on the radio for another four minutes. Peter
Speaker 1: King also asked in this article about the ability to
Speaker 1: change things in the huddle or what freedom Jared Goff
Speaker 1: has because they talked about um some of these other
Speaker 1: quarterbacks obviously be able to kind of do whatever they want,
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees seeing something and he changed everything to fly.
Speaker 1: What we all know about Teun mcphace that he calls
Speaker 1: the play and he sits in the headset with with
Speaker 1: Jared Goff, like Jarry go has got a lot of
Speaker 1: heat for what he can and cannot do. And do
Speaker 1: you remember that play? I think it's kind of dumb,
Speaker 1: but okay, do you remember that play early the third
Speaker 1: quarter where he basically threw like a rocket down the
Speaker 1: left side line of Brandon Cooks who brought it home.
Speaker 1: That was to be the throw, gorgeous throw. That was
Speaker 1: a one Brandon Cooks asked for. That they basically rarely
Speaker 1: ran or never ran all season. That normally it was
Speaker 1: like the typical bunch formation of the Rams always do
Speaker 1: where they would throw one of those quick screens to
Speaker 1: Robert Woods or um something to Josh Reynolds in traffic
Speaker 1: and it would just kind of go. And he felt
Speaker 1: like there were so many defenders over there that he
Speaker 1: had a better chance with a good throw one on
Speaker 1: one with um Marshawn Lattimore was Marshall Lattimore that he
Speaker 1: could have bought a Brandon Cooks from the speed and
Speaker 1: all not all that, and it worked and it gave
Speaker 1: Golf some more confidence and McPhail a more confidence in
Speaker 1: his quarterback. And it shows you that like, hey, Golf,
Speaker 1: isn't this this guy that can't do anything? You know,
Speaker 1: He's still gonna make the throws. Jared Golf is still
Speaker 1: out there making throws. What I find so interesting, right
Speaker 1: is that when we talk about this with Jared Goff
Speaker 1: and a lot of people call him bus driver and
Speaker 1: he's a system quarterback and he's he's doing well because
Speaker 1: he's running this Sean McVey system right now, Greg, and
Speaker 1: then we hear the people that he's compared to, right,
Speaker 1: like you even said it, Drew Brees, right, he doesn't
Speaker 1: have the freedom that a Drew Brees has, like check
Speaker 1: out the line of scrimmage and do whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: Like we know Peyton Manning was the best of all time. Omaha, omaha,
Speaker 1: kill audible in his place. Those guys are the best
Speaker 1: quarterbacks of all time and their veterans. They're like, do
Speaker 1: you think Peyton Manning came into the league and he
Speaker 1: was screaming omaha omaha and he was audibling plays his
Speaker 1: first second season in the league, Like this is Jared
Speaker 1: Goff's third year, right right, Like these guys need to
Speaker 1: be kept coached up the beginning of their career. Like
Speaker 1: I don't think you can kill Jared Goffer that Like
Speaker 1: it's not like Drew Brees and Tom Brady and Peyton
Speaker 1: Manning came into the league and they were like audible
Speaker 1: and play like no no, Like first, second, third year
Speaker 1: quarterbacks almost rarely never nine percent of the time they're
Speaker 1: running the play that their coaches telling them to run,
Speaker 1: or if or if their coaches telling them to like
Speaker 1: audible a play like Sean McVeigh likes to do, that's
Speaker 1: exactly what they're doing. Like they're not checking out of
Speaker 1: that because they just don't have the experience yet. I
Speaker 1: think it's the same thing for Jared Goff, Like you
Speaker 1: can't kill the guy for being like a bus driver quarterback.
Speaker 1: I understand at some point, like he's got to make plays.
Speaker 1: This is what we've said about Alex Smith for years.
Speaker 1: Why the Chiefs weren't able to win with Alex Smith
Speaker 1: is because he wasn't able to make enough plays like
Speaker 1: he he didn't have the mentality. Now, now, if that's
Speaker 1: what you think about Jared Goff, that's something completely different. Course,
Speaker 1: if you want to say, like I don't think Jared
Speaker 1: Goff has the killer mentality, the killer instinct to go
Speaker 1: out there and like step on the back of someone's
Speaker 1: you know, step on someone's throat and and you know,
Speaker 1: put up thirty points and if you're winning, just keep
Speaker 1: going out there and putting up points. If that's what
Speaker 1: you think about Jared Goff, that's different, that's fine, Like
Speaker 1: that's a mentality thing. To say that he's like a
Speaker 1: bus driver and he's a system quarterback and hold it
Speaker 1: against him, like, dude, it's his third season in the NFL. Total,
Speaker 1: you can't completely like come on for comparing him against
Speaker 1: guys like Drew Brees and like Tom Brady, Like, yes,
Speaker 1: those are the guys he's been facing, but those are
Speaker 1: also the best quarterbacks to ever play this sport. Well,
Speaker 1: a ton more super Bowl coverage all we long tomorrow
Speaker 1: the next two days. All props, player problems, team props
Speaker 1: has some fun props. Those are the next two days,
Speaker 1: dfs later in the week, and of course they break
Speaker 1: down everything you need to know unless you're well fifty two.
Speaker 1: For Frank extample, I'm Greg Susburg. Friendzi's up next. We'll
Speaker 1: see tomorrow, we hope.
