And away we go, very ironic. 36 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 2: Thank you for pointing out something that we waste an 37 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: entire segment yesterday talking about this that Lee and Loraina 38 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 2: are going on and how LeVar didn't know about it 39 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: and he wasn't taking the day off everything that went 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: along with it. We told him, we're perfectly fouled and 41 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 2: taking it off. Here's the problem. You can't complain and 42 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: basically bitch and moan that you're not taking it off, 43 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: and then come to find out in the last minute 44 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 2: you actually do take it off after chastising everyone else 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: for taking that day off. Yeah, I'm sorry. Yeah, you 46 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,399 Speaker 2: have to get called out for that. 47 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: That was a that was a wild ride that we 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: were taking on yesterday. We went to a LaVar in order. 49 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: He took a lead a court Loraine at a court 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: found out they are, you know, going to Vancouver and 51 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: to be a part of the meet and greet with 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: the Malar militia and then LaVar lo and behold, it 53 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: turns out he's not going to be with us. So 54 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: there's so there's that off and running here on this 55 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: Friday morning. And I don't know about you, but I 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: was thinking about this when it came to the game 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: last night. I really wish the NBA wasn't so predictable. 58 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that's what bothers me, because it just felt like, Okay, 59 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: the Knicks are gonna, you know, find something, They're gonna 60 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna, you know, survive to to advance to another game. 61 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: They're gonna do it for the home crowd, and ultimately 62 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 1: it feels like everybody kind of knows how this whole 63 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: thing's gonna end. I just I didn't. I didn't see 64 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: last night as a repeatable performance when it came to 65 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: how lacklust the Pacers were, especially their starters. 66 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: I don't. 67 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: I just can't see that happening again. 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. The the only thing I can speak to. 69 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: And I don't think this is the prerogative of any 70 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 2: team in a series, all right. I think you win 71 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: when you can win. However, there is an extreme home 72 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 2: field advantage when you are at home, especially in the playoffs, 73 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: so I do think it's harder for the team, even 74 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: th that's ahead in the series, to find a way 75 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,840 Speaker 2: of doing so. So I mean, look, if you could 76 00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: have your druthers and you could win at home in 77 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: the playoffs to advance, that's what you'd rather do. I mean, 78 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 2: I've only been a part of it once in my lifetime, 79 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: when were the Denver Broncos. We won in a wildcard 80 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: game at home. That game the way it ended, the way, 81 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 2: the way we want it. I mean, I could only 82 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,280 Speaker 2: imagine how it would have been on the road. It 83 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 2: would have been silent in Pittsburgh. It would have been 84 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 2: so silent and quiet besides our sidelines and our players 85 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,920 Speaker 2: and teammates and coaches cheering. That's it. That's all would 86 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: have been. I can't imagine for a wildcard playoff game, 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: you would have had many Denver fans who would make 88 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 2: their way into Pittsburgh to go be a part of that. So, 89 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 2: you know, winning at home all the memories that I 90 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: have from the celebration of the fans, the players advancing 91 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 2: to the division round, like what that felt like. It 92 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 2: was unbelievable. But it would have felt entirely different if 93 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 2: it was on the road. So I don't know that. 94 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: I don't know that players are in their back of 95 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 2: the mind saying if we're gonna win a series, let's 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 2: just push it so we can go win at home. 97 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: I mean, I think you win when you can win. 98 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: You know, you don't want to give any team any 99 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: opportunity to build momentum. I mean, there was for a 100 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: minute I thought, maybe, you know, Caroline was gonna come 101 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 2: back on on the Florida Panthers. Didn't end up happening, 102 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: but it looked like it early in that last game 103 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: before Florida ended up clinching, because I thought, oh no, 104 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 2: this is where a team gains momentum, maybe maybe it 105 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 2: becomes more of a series. In this case, same thing 106 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 2: with the Knicks. This has been kind of a back 107 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: and forth series. You can make the case, and I 108 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: don't want to think that anyone wants to allow the 109 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 2: Knicks to hang around this thing the way Brunton played 110 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: last night, the way you know our sassy passer, you know, 111 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, kar Anthony Town's got into it last night. 112 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 2: Big Cat was big last night. But I think you 113 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: get my point, Like, if you're the Pacers, it does 114 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: work out a little bit better if you clinch while 115 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: you're at home to be in that environment, that arena 116 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,280 Speaker 2: to celebrate with all your fans too. 117 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. That is kind of a fun, fun 118 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: place to do it. And then one of the things 119 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 1: you mentioned yesterday when you were talking to your brother 120 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 1: in law about listen, you know in the NHL, uh 121 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: you know you're down two zero in a series? Are 122 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: you worriors? 123 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: Long series? 124 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: What about three to oh no, whatever? 125 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 2: Long series? We'll get them very dismissive long series. 126 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know if that is 127 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: as applicable because we've seen, you know, teams come back 128 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: from three to oh and do it in the Stanley 129 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: Cup playoffs. We've never seen it in the NBA, but 130 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: we've seen teams come back from three to one, and 131 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: I don't know if if that's the same in the NBA, 132 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 1: but there's got to be something too. Those players know 133 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: based on the energy just from being on the court, 134 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: Like the Pacers didn't seem all that concerned or worried 135 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 1: about it. They just didn't. It was like whatever, Like 136 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: they almost like they have a better read on the 137 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: vibe and exactly how things are going out there than 138 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: anybody else would. And because of that, they know when 139 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: to worry and went not to worry, which you know, 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: to me, I just look at it and they go, 141 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 1: this thing's going to get wrapped up on Saturday. 142 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like that. I do think the Pacers 143 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: are the better team. But again all credit the Jalen 144 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 2: Brentson last night, he was phenomenal. Do you want me 145 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 2: to do you want to do an impression? Real quick? 146 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: Do you want to do this? You want to do this? 147 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 2: You know, Jonas. What it came down for me was 148 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: really the difference in the Pacers and the Knicks. And 149 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 2: what's surprising is the Pacers actually shot better from the field. 150 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: They were thirty of seventy four and ten of thirty 151 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 2: from three point to the Knicks who were eight of 152 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 2: twenty nine and forty four of eighty nine. So they 153 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: made more field goals and twos, just not as many 154 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: threes the Knicks did. And then I thought, you know, 155 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 2: if you looked at the free throw percentage, you had 156 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: the Knicks at fifteen, and then you've got the Pacers 157 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 2: who had actually had more free throws, so that any 158 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: sense box scores, yes, I mean sorry box score reading now. 159 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: The one of the one of the interesting little back 160 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: and forth post game was Pascal Siakam of the Indiana Pacers. 161 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 2: Who had a uh. 162 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: He was the best starter on the floor if we 163 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: do want to go to the box score around. In fact, 164 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: he was the only one in double digits, which I 165 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: think speaks volumes about how lackluster things were for the 166 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: starting five for Indiana. But uh, he did have an 167 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: interesting little back and forth. Greg Doyle who's covered UH 168 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: sports in Indianapolis by the Greg Doyle is the guy 169 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: who had the weird, kind of awkward back and forth 170 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 1: with Caitlin Clark when she first got there and then 171 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: I guess he got banned from covering Indiana Fever games. Uh, 172 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: he's had kind of an interesting run there, a little 173 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: bit of a hothead. 174 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: Uh. 175 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: Here was the back and forth Pascal Siakam, Well, no, 176 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: he was trying to explain to Greg Doyle just the 177 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: emotions of the Pacers going into it. We don't have 178 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 1: no just the just the passcal Siakam, Yeah, just the 179 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: We just want to hear the Pascal Siakam here. Yeah, 180 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 1: we're just looking for that if we could. Yeah, well 181 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: we were efforting. 182 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: Okay, well Vampa BT. But to your point though about 183 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: the situation with the Pacers and whether or not they 184 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: looked like they wanted to win it, I don't know 185 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,199 Speaker 2: that anything looked overly different based on the amount of 186 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 2: minutes the bench played, but it did feel like, I 187 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: don't know, again, not a concentrated effort to not win. 188 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 2: But if they are going to win, game six is 189 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 2: where you'd like to And this is also where if 190 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: you are a conspiracy theorist type. Look, clearly, the league 191 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 2: wants these things to go six seven games, of course, 192 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 2: and by the way, the TV networks, just so people 193 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: understand at home or listening. In order for you to 194 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 2: start making money on a series, it has to go six. 195 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: You have to go six six game. If you go four, 196 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 2: you lose. If you go five, you're hopefully break it. 197 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: Even six is where you can start thinking about making 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 2: a little money and then hopefully seven for sure like 199 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: sevens perfect scenario. That's why TV networks want to have 200 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 2: the playoffs and buy that or put that money into it, 201 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 2: because that's where they can get the payout from a 202 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 2: lot of these series. If it goes four, they're losing 203 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 2: their ass, and so it doesn't obviously the you know 204 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 2: New York Knicks a huge city, number one market that matters, 205 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 2: but you know, Knicks Pacers Eastern Conference Finals, it's still 206 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 2: pretty big. The viewership is going to be pretty significant regardless, 207 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 2: but having the Knicks as a part of it, you're 208 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 2: want to milk that for as long as you can 209 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: because it looks like it's not going to be the 210 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 2: Nicks in the NBA Finals, and so you're not going 211 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 2: to get that number one market, that huge Knicks fan 212 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 2: base that's willing to fly to the Midwest and watch 213 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: their Knicks get their ass kicked by the Pacers. They're 214 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 2: in Indianapolis. So you're not gonna get any of that. 215 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it is unfortunate, and we have 216 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: to suffer through the Knick fan Like the celebrity Knicks fans. 217 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: I would love to know the real knowledge that they 218 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: have of this team, because you've got Timothy Champagne and 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: one of the Kardashians running around like, all of a sudden, 220 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: they're the you know, the new super fans of the team. 221 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, okay, dude, like how many like 222 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: how many games did you go to during Ben Stiller? 223 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: Yeah? 224 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: Then Ben Stiller's there like every like, can't we just 225 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 1: go back to the good old days where Tracy Morgan 226 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 1: is blowing chunks on the court, Like, can we just 227 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: go back to that? Can't we go back to the 228 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: good old days when James Dolan was kicking out you know, 229 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 1: former Charles Lakeley can't even be in the arena, he's 230 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: being assaulted by security guards. Remember the good old days 231 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: when James Dolan needed to sell the team because he 232 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: didn't know what the hell he's doing. And now it's 233 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: all everybody's you know, all gathered in. Everybody's all of 234 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Knicks fan. It just it's a bit 235 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 1: obnoxious for me. So I'm hoping that we don't have 236 00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: to sit through it again at Madison Square Garden because 237 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: to me, we know how this is gonna go. All right, 238 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: this is going to go the way Knicks fans know 239 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: it's going to go, and this whole bad boy is 240 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: getting wrapped up Game six there in Indiana. 241 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 2: No, I think for the sake of like NBA fans, 242 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: I hope we go seven. I really do. I ultimately 243 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: think the Pacers will win it. But for the drama 244 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 2: of it, for the sake of our show, for all involved, 245 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: I'd rather go seven. I mean, if we're being real 246 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 2: about it. But uh, like I said, I don't think 247 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: it's going to I think the Pacers are the better team. 248 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 2: Last night, the Knicks got the best of them. We 249 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: went through the box score stats as you heard a 250 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: moment ago. So I mean someone had to do it today, 251 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 2: right yea, you know, we've got somebody to step up 252 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 2: and read the box school there. 253 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: There are there are certain things that have to be done. 254 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: We've got to check off the list. So we will 255 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: chose to prove that they didn't. 256 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 2: Watch and just wanted to read. 257 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: The box score, you mentioned Karl Anthony Towns, the old 258 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: sassy passer. Uh. He did speak after the game though, 259 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: and talked about just sort of Jalen Brunson's performance and 260 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: their performance overall. 261 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: He was cooking, That's what I was. So I saw 262 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 3: him cooking, just you know, when he's playing like that 263 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 3: and he's heading sets obviously energizes everyone. But do you understand, 264 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: you know, especially when you're getting points at that kind. 265 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 2: Of rate, you got to stop. 266 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: You got to get some stops, and you know, you 267 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: know everyone to you know, be trading twos with twos, 268 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,719 Speaker 3: threes and threes. You know, you want to be able 269 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 3: to get some stops while you know Cap is on 270 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: that kind. 271 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 2: Of sorry there, you know, when he's on burner. 272 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 3: So we did a great job of just executing and 273 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 3: holding them to twenty three points in the first quarter 274 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:29,199 Speaker 3: or something. 275 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: That we did not do well in the last game. 276 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: Again, that's meant to these guys, you know, after a 277 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: tough for last game, you know, coming back to the 278 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,840 Speaker 3: to the drawing board and understanding the situation. 279 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 2: And playing with that desperation. 280 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: I do like how Shaquille O'Neil and Charles Barkley post 281 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: game because Kat came out on the floor and sat 282 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: with him. Because man for as great of a show 283 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,080 Speaker 1: and is respected as a show as the TNT crew is. 284 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: Have you seen where they've had them located at Madison 285 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: Square Garden? Like they're up literally next to the roof, 286 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 1: and Charles Parkley's like I could touch God, Like literally, 287 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: you cannot get any higher. The only higher you can 288 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: get is on top of the roof. They're literally up 289 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 1: there at the roof trying to figure this whole thing out. 290 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 1: So it was nicer them to at least give them 291 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: a couple of floor chairs to interview Carl Anthony Towns 292 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: after the fact. 293 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: But I think I've only been Have you been to 294 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden? 295 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: No? 296 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 2: Oh, it's an incredible venue. So I've been there, I 297 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 2: think maybe twice. The one time obviously that sticks out, 298 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: was when Tom'sabkowski fought a boxing match there, and so 299 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 2: we all drove from South Bend to New York and 300 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: we went for the fight. We got to see all 301 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: kinds of stuff, you know, beforehand, I think I told 302 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: you who they were. Caesar Chavez Senior was down in 303 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 2: the tunnel underneath and we kind of had all lined 304 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: up for Tommy's He's getting ready to come out, and 305 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 2: one of our defensive linemen kept asking him a bunch 306 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: him in the stomach, And so his son was fighting 307 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 2: on one of the cards after us, and he finally 308 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 2: came over, and you know, there's a bit of a 309 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 2: language barrier there, but we figured it out, and he 310 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 2: took his hand. It was like an open hand, so 311 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 2: not like a fist, like open hands, so like with 312 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 2: the tips of his fingers kind of gave him like 313 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 2: a quick like almost like a hook to his like 314 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: stomach or like his gut. And I remember our d 315 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: lineman like took it and stood there and kind of 316 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 2: like grinned, and then he just dropped like literally whatever 317 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 2: he did caused him to drop to the floor. And 318 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 2: at that point in time, I have no idea how 319 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: what he was. He had to have been sixty, I mean, 320 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: is that that sounds about right. Maybe I'm not sure 321 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 2: how what he is now, but probably sixty ish and 322 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 2: absolutely dropped a three hundred pound defensive lineman like it 323 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: was nothing. 324 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, reportedly never met a substance he 325 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: didn't like to smell. 326 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: I'm just saying Okay, well that that wasn't part of 327 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: what we were doing, but we were. We were hammered 328 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 2: at Madison Square Garden watching that celebrate in Zibby's victory. 329 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800 Speaker 2: By the way, but there's not many venues or like 330 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: areas in the in the arena from what I can remember, 331 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: where you really could have put up a stage like that. 332 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: So I'm looking at the Do you remember the year, 333 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: because I know that it was June sixth, but I'm 334 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 1: trying to find the exact year because I actually found 335 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: the fight card it was. Was it his pro debut? 336 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: I think it was it been I'm talking about Tom Zabkowski. Yeah, 337 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 1: against against the guy, against the guy by the name 338 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: of Robert Bell. Uh he did win. Also on that card, 339 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: damn man, you had. This is a good card to 340 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: go to. 341 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 2: I know Paul maul Ashley was on. 342 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: He fought Miguel Coto, Bobby Pakiaou bought Kevin Kelly John. 343 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 2: De which Bobby pak is the long cousin of you 344 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: know many Pacio. 345 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 1: Tried and then uh, hey, you know what, we'll clean 346 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: it up in the podcast. I mean, why not, We'll 347 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: figure that out. And then also, uh, Julio Caesar Chaves Junior, 348 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, did fight Aaron Drake in that one. 349 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good card. That was a really good 350 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 2: fight too. But like I said, we were all pretty bombed. 351 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: I mean, there's a lot of name fans there. We 352 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 2: were just really excited for Tommy. The funny thing about 353 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 2: that fight, I believe he was supposed to fight another guy, 354 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: and I think there's something happened before in his training 355 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 2: where he got hurt or he couldn't do it. So 356 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,920 Speaker 2: they found another guy with like three weeks to go. 357 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 2: I don't know whether or not because we had just 358 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 2: lost to Ohio State the Fiesta Bowl. I don't know 359 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: if that guy, this guy was even an Ohio State 360 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 2: fan or not. But for the antics of the fight, 361 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: they threw some all highest stage shorts on him and 362 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 2: he was now like as soon as he entered that ring, 363 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 2: it became like a rematch of the Fiesta Bowl, which 364 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 2: was great. 365 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: And the best part about boxing events is if you 366 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: get there early enough, you get those four rounders like 367 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: those where you know it'll gradually grow as far as 368 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: the length of the fight, but you get those four 369 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: round heaters and guys are looking to make a name 370 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 1: for themselves and they're just swinging for the fences. They're 371 00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,880 Speaker 1: trying to end somebody's life. 372 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: In the ring. 373 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: Well that's going. 374 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 2: It was awesome, man. We had a great time. Went 375 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 2: out afterwards. Yeah, yeah, we had a really good time. 376 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: Well listen, that good time was also had last night 377 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: by the by the New York Knicks and their fans. 378 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 2: But that's what we're missing out on. We're missing on 379 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 2: the potential of celebrations like that from the New York 380 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 2: Knicks unless they unless they can win in seven we'll. 381 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: See, yeah, probably not, but hey, listen, we can We 382 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: can only hope for the best.

So Tyreek Kill, is that an 433 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 1: interesting off season? And uh it started with him. 434 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: Hugh Listafi and the interesting off season moves? 435 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 1: Well these the uh you know, he made the comments 436 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: after the season finale last year made it seem like 437 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: he didn't want to be there. Any longer. And then 438 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: he came back afterwards and said he did want to 439 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: be there. And then there was the the unfortunate incident 440 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: where apparently he had a fight with his wife, I believe, 441 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: and he happened to be seen on a balcony in 442 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: South Florida holding their new barn. 443 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 2: That seemed overblown. I mean a lot of people read 444 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 2: into that. I'd look like he was just holding him 445 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 2: from the angle when he was outside in the balcony. 446 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: I also think it's a bit odd that people would 447 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 1: be filming up at his balcony at that point, so. 448 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: They're always filming him on his balcony or filming his 449 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: his condo. 450 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that like that bald eagle? Out here in 451 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: southern California, they've got a camera like you got it? 452 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: These these nature freaks and losers out here in southern 453 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: California got a problem. First, they build a pathway for 454 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,959 Speaker 1: wild animals to cross the freeway on the one oh 455 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: one and Aga because what oh okay, by the way, 456 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: this is so much better than entire year. 457 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 2: You realize, like everyone else in the country is unaware 458 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 2: of this. Oh so like tax on taxpair dollars went 459 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: to that. 460 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: Okay, So for people like this is an unbelievable thing 461 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 1: that in my I couldn't believe it was an actual, 462 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: real thing. I thought it was fake. I thought it 463 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: was like an onion headline. So because of the wildfires 464 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: out here, which are a real thing and a real problem, 465 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: they were worried about wild animals being able to cross 466 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: because they were getting hit by cars. If there were 467 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: fires in the hills, they would want to get away 468 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 1: and they'd be hit by cars. And this goes back 469 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: to this mountain lion that was tagged. It was called 470 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: P twenty two. They put a tag on this mountain lion, 471 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,680 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden there was like this vigil 472 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 1: and all these people sobbing because this mountain lion decided, 473 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm going to run across the one 474 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: to one and go play bumper cars. And how do 475 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 1: you think that went? He ran into a tundra, Okay, 476 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: and he got evaporated, all right, which should happen if 477 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: you're a moron and want to play Frogger as a 478 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: mountain lion across a freeway in southern California. So that's 479 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: his fault. He should be held accountable. Instead, what do 480 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 1: they do. Well, we've got to build this pathway for 481 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: wild animals to cross the freeway so that it's a 482 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: safe place in case something happens they need to get away. 483 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,360 Speaker 2: Okay, great idea. 484 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: That's awesome for the coyotes who now have a direct 485 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: line that they can cross through when they want to 486 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 1: go into your backyard and rip your small dog or 487 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: cat from you while your kids are watching. That's awesome. 488 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: Great idea. So they did all that, they shut down 489 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: the freeway. Giant pain in the ass. It was a 490 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: pain in the ass for people trying to get to works. 491 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: The whole thing seemed ridiculous. Then they've got this camera 492 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: watching these bald eagles be born, like literally daily updates, 493 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: where you've got this still shot camera watching bald eagles 494 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 1: be born, and what's the progress on the bald eagles, 495 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: and and how are the bald eagles looking? 496 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: What? What? 497 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: Like can somebody make sure they just don't fall out 498 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: of a tree, Like if you're so worried about those things, 499 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: why why don't you put a net underneath it just 500 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: in case? You know, one of the babies gets a 501 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 1: little frisky and like reaches out for a leaf and 502 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 1: then next thing, you know, he does a swan dive, 503 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, out of the tree nest. And and next 504 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: week now we've got another vigil we've got to go through. 505 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: Just the priorities are completely out of whack. I don't 506 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: understand it. It feels like a bit much. And South 507 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: Florida's version of that is their still camera watching Tyreek 508 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 1: Hill and how he behaves on his balcony. Apparently it's 509 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: two different worlds. Man, It's just two different worlds, California 510 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: and Florida. That's all I'm saying. 511 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's that's fair to fair to put it 512 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: that way. Can we get to Tyreek kill? 513 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: Now? Yeah? All right, so listen, you asked Tyreek Hill, 514 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,719 Speaker 1: but I have no idea. Tyreek Hill was asked about 515 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: whether or not he wants to be a team captain 516 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,440 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins after this uh troublesome offseason, and it 517 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: went like this, do you want to be a captain 518 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five? 519 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: Do you think he's resing. 520 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 2: To be a captain. I gotta prove myself. This OTAs 521 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: trying to camp. 522 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 3: I got to prove myself. 523 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: I gotta show up different. 524 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: The mindset got to be different. So I don't. I don't. 525 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't feel like I deserve it. 526 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:30,120 Speaker 3: And if I didn't get it, I. 527 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: Went, I won't do what I. 528 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 2: Want to win it. You know what I'm saying, because 529 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 2: I put myself in that position. 530 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: You know, I'm fan self. 531 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: So least he's being accountable, all right, little bit of 532 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: self awareness from from Tyreek Hill there. You know, he 533 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 1: put himself in this spot. Also, wonder if it's because 534 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 1: he realizes, you know, I mean, I'd like to get 535 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,000 Speaker 1: paid again, you know, and then maybe I should go 536 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: ahead and and he make nice. 537 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 2: So he's thirty one, he still has, you know, this 538 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: year in twenty twenty six left on his contract. Now, 539 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:03,359 Speaker 2: the Dolphins had voided out three more years on his 540 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: deal to kind of spread out the signing bonus that 541 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: he initially took, which you know really wasn't that extensive. 542 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 2: There wasn't so much the signing bonus. It was the guarantees. 543 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 2: He got fifty four or excuse me, fifty nine million 544 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 2: dollars fully guaranteed when he signed of his three year, 545 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 2: ninety million dollar contract. So I'm sure he's looking at 546 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: it thinking maybe this is the best place where I 547 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: have one more bite at the apple. Mind you, he's 548 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 2: got how many kids and baby baby mamas and all that, 549 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: and there's a lot of mouths to feed and child 550 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 2: support and everything else that he's got to go along with. 551 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 2: So maybe he was able to rethink some of those 552 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: things over the course of this offseason and realize that 553 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 2: he's probably most valued in Miami when you look at 554 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: some of his targets and you look at some of 555 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 2: his production despite not playing with Patrick Mahomes, he's been 556 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: able to still produce, especially when he's healthy, when he's 557 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 2: out there, and when you couple that with the fact 558 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 2: that if John Neus Smith some of these players they 559 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 2: had on the roster as they're trying to clean up 560 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: their cat, if those guys are on the trade block, 561 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: well then you're the number one guy, and you're the 562 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 2: guy who's going to be viewed as the leader. The 563 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 2: guy is going to be getting all those targets as 564 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 2: he should. But it may be the best place for him. 565 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 2: I really thought when he got to Miami that this 566 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 2: was going to be the last team he played for. 567 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 2: I didn't think he was going to be able to 568 00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: wear out as welcome or have any issues it feels 569 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: like a place where when you're a star on that 570 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 2: team in that city, they really embrace you and it's 571 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 2: such an incredible lifestyle. I mean, I lived in South 572 00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,959 Speaker 2: Florida for a long time. To be a professional athlete 573 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 2: down there is incredible, It really is. And I can 574 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: only imagine if you are a star for the Miami Dolphins, 575 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 2: what's what that's like, especially with the way when that 576 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 2: team can win, if they get some momentum, that that 577 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: fan base will come out and support you. So I'm 578 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: sure he's really rethought some of you know, based on 579 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 2: the you know, events o ofver this offseason. Maybe the 580 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 2: grass isn't always greener and maybe this is a place 581 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 2: that he does if he does all the right things, 582 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 2: says all the right things, he ends up, you know, 583 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 2: being the guy that can be a captain, a leader 584 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,440 Speaker 2: for this team to help them win more football games. 585 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: It also just seems like we've talked about this before. 586 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: You talk about a team that is a night and 587 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: day difference between when two is in the lineup and 588 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: playing and when he's not, everything falls apart. It's like 589 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: everything falls like they go from hey man, that's a 590 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: playoff team that could be you know, maybe a problem 591 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: for somebody, especially in the first round of the playoffs too. 592 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: Uh oh, Let's just hope they've got something figured out 593 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: at backup quarterback because like all of a sudden, Mike 594 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: McDaniel's job gets questioned, everything falls apart just based on 595 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: too his health. Like they are completely hinged on whether 596 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 1: or not two is going to be healthy. And I 597 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: look at him. I don't know if you feel the 598 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: same way. They feel like high variance. If there is 599 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: anybody in the NFL that's high variance to where it 600 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: would not surprise me whatsoever if Miami was a playoff 601 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: team and or Miami was also picking near the top 602 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: of the draft, would not surprise me whatsoever. Alen Ramsey 603 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,840 Speaker 1: stuff is weird, like just there openly, Yeah, you know 604 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: it's time he's going to go okay, But why, I 605 00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: just I don't. I don't understand what's happening there. Just 606 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: feels like there's so many question marks and there's a 607 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: real chance they could be finishing fourth in that division 608 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 1: this year, even behind the Jets, which is tough. 609 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 2: To tough to and they don't have a ton of 610 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 2: cap space. They have fourteen million in cap space. So 611 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,640 Speaker 2: that's like twenty six in the league right now. So 612 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 2: if it's about contract extensions for some of these veterans, 613 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: trying to get more guaranteed money at this point in 614 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: time and their deal, you know, that sometimes is what 615 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: ends up being a breaking point. You know. For Tyreek Hill, 616 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 2: that's not the case this season. I mean, his cap 617 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 2: hit is over twenty seven and a half million dollars. 618 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 5: Uh. 619 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: To me, it's it's you know, what money is still 620 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 2: left in us contract before they can move on. He 621 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: would be about fifty seven million of dead cab moneies, 622 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 2: which again you could split if it was a June one, 623 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 2: you know, if they ended up cutting them. But I 624 00:29:58,600 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: don't think they want to cut them. They once again 625 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 2: some sort of trade value out of him. So because 626 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 2: of that, if they were gonna part ways, twenty twenty 627 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: six makes a lot more sense. He'd be going into 628 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: his final year. The contract is still a large cap hit, 629 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: but we'll have to be negotiated either with the Dolphins 630 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 2: or another team. So I just I don't see it 631 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 2: happening at this point because the cap HiT's somewhat minimal 632 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 2: for how good of a receiver he is. It's really 633 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: next year where you're looking at a scenario where he 634 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 2: either gets cut or he's gonna gonna have a contract 635 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: that's extended down renegotiated. And I would think his agent 636 00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 2: is Drew Rosenhaus, who's again in South Florida. And one 637 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 2: of the things I would always say to players when 638 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 2: they asked about agents is if you would up playing 639 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 2: for the Dolphins or you're playing for any professional franchise 640 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: in South Florida, Drew's a great guy to represent you. 641 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 2: He is so connected in that community and in that 642 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 2: city that it's it's really your oyster like you can 643 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 2: have connections and to do whatever you want, and that's 644 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 2: why you're playing. That's going to the restaurants whatever you want, 645 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 2: or even post career like, He's got a lot of 646 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,560 Speaker 2: connections in there to help you out with stuff. So 647 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: that's who his agent is, and that's why I just 648 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: I don't really see him going somewhere else and enjoying 649 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: playing and everything else that comes along with being an 650 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 2: NFL player in another city. It seems like this is 651 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,479 Speaker 2: the perfect fit for him, and so again, hopefully he 652 00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 2: plays the way they need him to do and the 653 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 2: way he's capable of and then they'll have to address 654 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 2: that contract after this upcoming season. 655 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: By the way, you mentioned John new Smith, who had 656 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: his best year of his career as a Pro Bowler 657 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: last year, and there's reportedly and apparently the Dolphins are 658 00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,719 Speaker 1: just open about if they're having trade discussions, whether it's 659 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:43,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey or Adam Schefter's reporting that the Steelers and 660 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins specifically have had discussions about potentially trading Smith because 661 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: he's got a previous relationship with Arthur Smith. They worked 662 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: together before, and even John new Smith, to your point, 663 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: like made it be clear his preference is to stay 664 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 1: in Miami, like he wants to stay in Miami, Like 665 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: he like that that's where he wants to be. And 666 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 1: now they just figure out whether or not there can 667 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: be an adjustment to his contract or whatnot. 668 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 2: So well, yeah, I mean, he's a Pro Bowl player 669 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 2: and he got paid like four point six I think 670 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,400 Speaker 2: he's gonna get paid four point six million last year 671 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 2: or this year. Excuse me. So and look at Jalen Ramsey, 672 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 2: He's he got the third highest cap hit on the team. 673 00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 2: I imagine at thirty one years old, they came to him, 674 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: maybe try to restructure or get him to go for 675 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 2: a little bit less. That's usually where this comes into play. 676 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: But he's got a big dead cap number this year too, 677 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: so they're not gonna they're not gonna cut him. They're 678 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 2: gonna have to trade him get something back in return 679 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 2: for him if they can't figure out something in regards 680 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: to Jalen Ramsey. But it's just odd to me they're 681 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: trying to create so much more cap space. You know, 682 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: maybe this is in an attempt to prepare for twenty 683 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: twenty six because after this year, the you know, the 684 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 2: cap hits for two are big, Tyreek are big. They're 685 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 2: gonna have to make a lot of decisions on their roster. 686 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 2: You know, this is a roster that head uh some 687 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 2: some old but like a lot of younger players that 688 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: are kind of coming up and showing up for them. 689 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 2: But they're gonna have to make it a decision on 690 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 2: a lot of guys after twenty twenty five. 691 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: It is two Pros and a cup of Joe Here 692 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox with you here. 693 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 1: By the way, you can stream this show in all 694 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,240 Speaker 1: of our Fox Sports Radio shows live twenty four to 695 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: seven in the New and improved iHeart Radio app. Just 696 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: search Fox Sports Radio in the app to stream is live. 697 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 1: One of the newest features in the app is that 698 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: you can select Fox Sports Radios one of your presets, 699 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: just like the presets on a radio dial.

All righty so? 730 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,400 Speaker 5: Starting off During an appearance on the latest episode of 731 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 5: seven PM in Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony, former Pittsburgh Steelers 732 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 5: quarterback and current New York Giant starter Russell Wilson touched 733 00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,320 Speaker 5: upon sharing a locker room with George Pickens for a season. 734 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,120 Speaker 5: I love George. His ability to catch the ball is 735 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,239 Speaker 5: one of a kind. On a serious note, he's misunderstood. 736 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,120 Speaker 5: He wants to be great, you know. I think too, 737 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 5: also is an ability where he can take it from 738 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 5: not just being great to being one. 739 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 2: Of the world's best. 740 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 5: I think he has that in him. 741 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,279 Speaker 2: I mean, he's got the ability. No one's going to 742 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 2: question that, and I don't know that that ever was 743 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 2: questioned whether or not he was capable of being one 744 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,919 Speaker 2: of the best, or maybe even being the best. It's 745 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,439 Speaker 2: more about effort. And look, Russell's the type of guy 746 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,919 Speaker 2: that he's never going to say a bad thing about 747 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 2: only she made well. He's just a positive guy. He's 748 00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 2: always been a positive guy. He doesn't like focusing on 749 00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,879 Speaker 2: anything negative. There's no point in his mind, so that's 750 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 2: not for him. But to get to the point, he 751 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 2: doesn't really address the effort portion. You know, if if 752 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 2: I was gonna be honest with him, I'd say, oh, okay, 753 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 2: well yeah, no one's going to doubt that, But what 754 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: about his effort? Are there times where his effort could improve? 755 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 2: And I'm sure he would agree, yes, there's times where 756 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 2: it didn't look like he was overly engaged in being 757 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 2: a professional football player while a game was going on. 758 00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 2: That's the simplest way of putting it. 759 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: I would love to see those two have a conversation 760 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 1: about their time in Pittsburgh, because the Steelers made it 761 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: pretty evident and pretty clear that yeah, we're good here, guys. 762 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and move on from Russ and 763 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 1: we're going to move on from George Pickens, and we'll 764 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,399 Speaker 1: just go ahead and try and figure this thing out 765 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:26,879 Speaker 1: without you guys. So I would like to know their 766 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: side of the story there, because Pittsburgh's been pretty quiet 767 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,040 Speaker 1: about it, but it was very evident that they were 768 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:36,000 Speaker 1: not interested in their services any longer there with all 769 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: the fine money that George Pickens racked up as well too, 770 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:40,920 Speaker 1: what else we got Brie? All rightie. 771 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 5: So Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenneimer said this during a 772 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 5: recent media session about Dak Prescott. 773 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: And I think Dak is in the developmental phase. And 774 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: that sounds crazy for you guys played that much, but 775 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: like there's things that we're tweaking with Dak. How about 776 00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: that still developing after all these years. 777 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 2: He's not wrong, I mean, that's part of it, right, 778 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:06,280 Speaker 2: You're always evolving, adjusting, adapting. He's got a new offense 779 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 2: to a degree, with Brian Schottenheimer now calling it, I mean, 780 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 2: and thenoly reason I say that to a degree is 781 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 2: because it's the same language, same system. However, you know, 782 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy's not there. So whatever adjustments changes that Shody 783 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 2: wants to make and that he has from his system, 784 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,840 Speaker 2: they're going to make. And so that could be ten percent, 785 00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 2: it could be thirty percent. I don't know how big 786 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,040 Speaker 2: of a change that'll be, but there's definitely going to 787 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 2: be some things that they would change. Like one of 788 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 2: the hardest things that when I was with Shoddy with 789 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,320 Speaker 2: his system is they wouldn't call the cadence in the huddle. 790 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,919 Speaker 2: So usually like on one ready, right, something like that, right, 791 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 2: if it's an even number of a run play, or 792 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 2: if it's an even number of a protection, automatically on two, 793 00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 2: if it's an odd number, or if it's going left, 794 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 2: it's automatically on one. So it was like an adjustment 795 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,120 Speaker 2: for me. It sounds very simple, but when you get 796 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,840 Speaker 2: in a habit for years, thousands of times calling plays 797 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 2: in the huddle and then telling everyone what they snap 798 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 2: count is going to be on hate you know, you know, 799 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,799 Speaker 2: quick count on one, hard, three ready, like break, but 800 00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 2: then you just you'd say the plane you walk in 801 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, and guys had a hard time 802 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 2: adjusting to that because they'd be asking all the time, 803 00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:19,280 Speaker 2: what's it on? What's it on? You'd be like, Tuesday, Tuesday, Monday. 804 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:20,759 Speaker 2: You always had code words for what it was on, 805 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 2: but you'd constantly be reminding guys because it was just 806 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,799 Speaker 2: such a different system in that way. 807 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 1: By the way, if Brian Schottenhiver had come out and said, no, man, 808 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: Dak's good. You know, we don't need to go through 809 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 1: any development. He's a finished product. We're ready to roll, 810 00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,960 Speaker 1: they would have gotten buried because all he's a finished product, right, 811 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: No matter like, you can't win with Dak Prescott, you can't. 812 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: Whatever the discussion is with him, somebody's gonna they're gonna 813 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:43,480 Speaker 1: bury him. 814 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:44,279 Speaker 2: You can't win. 815 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: People have already written the story on the guy sucks true,
