64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: I think you were doing that, right.

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, believe it or not. I actually moved to Los

00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: Angeles for stand up.

00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: Really are you still performing?

68
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: I haven't performed in like eight months. But you know,

69
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 4: it's it's fun. I've been on stage like five hundred times,

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: but uh, no way, yeah, yeah, I did it a lot.

71
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: It's just uh, you know, it's it's it's a it's

72
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: a tough world. Hollywood's a tough world.

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: Wait a minut. Are you looking for an agent?

74
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: I just if you, if listen, I would if you

75
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 4: want to be my agent, I would gladly, uh gladly.

76
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: I mean, there's gotta be an opportunity for you. Well,

77
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 2: now with the writers' strike, I mean, there's no TV

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: shows anymore, so you can get you on TV, but

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: there's got to be an opportunity. We're gonna work on that.

80
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: We're gonna work on that, and he's gonna make my career.

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: That'd be great reality TV. Reality TV does not need

82
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 3: a designy writers, so we got to do his own

83
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: reality TV show.

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: That's true.

85
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: You know, maybe I always think, you know, being behind

86
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: the camera isn't so bad, not being the uh the

87
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: center of attention. I'm starting to I'm starting to like

88
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: that life. So really well, yeah I am. It's it's nice.

89
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you got the jeans for going in front

90
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: of the camera. You've been there, done that, so like

91
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: the fear is gone, you could do it.

92
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 4: That is true, going, that is true, really going?

93
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: All right, Now, here's somebody moving on, moving on. Here's

94
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: someone who doesn't want to be in front of the camera,

95
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: and that's Aaron Rodgers. Now he's never been on Hard Knocks,

96
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: he's been in the NFL for eighteen years, and all

97
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: of a sudden he says, they forced it down on

98
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 2: our throats. What the hell did he think, Jeff? I mean,

99
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 2: there are only teams that like the Bears, the Saints,

100
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: and the Commanders that were available to be on the

101
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Hard Knock Show. Not really a great menu. So now

102
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers has to go out there and like you know,

103
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: kind of whine whine again like he always does. Come on, Really,

104
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: what's the big deal? What's the big whoop?

105
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, when you want to be the center of attention,

106
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 3: when you want to be a quarterback who is vocal

107
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: about certain issues that don't have to do with quarterback play, right,

108
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 3: would you want to make you know, make waves. When

109
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: it's time to make waves, you know the networks are

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: gonna choose you to do it, right, I mean, you

111
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 3: have a show in Hard knocks that. I mean, I

112
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 3: love these shows and I don't know if you're watching

113
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: the Netflix series and The Quarterbacks, it's unbelievably good. Like

114
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: I cannot stress enough. If you want to watch a

115
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 3: show that really gets you into football, that shows you

116
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 3: a good of good view into playing football, go watch

117
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: the Quarterbacks series on Netflix. It's it's fabulous. And the

118
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 3: whole family part of it. Two, I really like to

119
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 3: go and to talk about the families. And it was

120
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 3: a funny scene I saw where Patrick Mahomes got hurt

121
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: against the Jaguars right and his wife. It was very

122
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 3: hit home, very very much, because my wife has said

123
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: this many times to me since I've been hurt in

124
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 3: my career a lot. She made that she kind of

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: was snarking about how well nat Patrick is gonna say

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: that he can't help with the family at all this

127
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 3: whole week, because that's the way like my wife said

128
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: the same thing when I was hurt, like oh you,

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: oh you to we have again today? You can't put

130
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: the kids to bed. I got the I got the

131
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: same the same start was very funny. Nonetheless, great show

132
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: like that just topped my mind as I watched it.

133
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: That was the last scene I saw of the last show,

134
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 3: it was very, very very It's fun to watch. But

135
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is a guy that likes attention. He says

136
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 3: he doesn't, but yeah, he does. A McAfee interview, he says,

137
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 3: he goes to conferences about ayahuasca. He does things that

138
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: are put out there by himself. We know, we know

139
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: what he's doing. He's the one who releases the information.

140
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: When you want to be a guy who is going

141
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: to be the attention seeker, when you want to be

142
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 3: a guy who's gonna who wants the headlines, guess what

143
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 3: a show is going to choose you to be in

144
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: their show because they also want the headlines. They also

145
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: want that attention. And you chose this man. You went

146
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 3: to New York. It's the jets. They're gonna want to

147
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: put the jets on. So it is it's no surprise

148
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: that they were chosen. And the question is how much

149
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: access are you going to get? So, for example, this

150
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: Netflix here is I'm talking about I think I was.

151
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: I'm under the impression I was told by someone that

152
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: if Netflix recorded it, they get to run it. So

153
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 3: you have to give parameras beforehand. It's very clear because

154
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 3: they put in you know, the way that the shows.

155
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's moments that have been shown that you

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: know that people don't want. Even though it's pretty it's

157
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: a pretty PG show, they say, Okay, if we have

158
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 3: a camera, we're going to air it. So, for example,

159
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: you never see the chiefs Patrick Mahomes and Indy Reed

160
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: talking about scheme in the building, like there's really nothing

161
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 3: about Patrick Mahomes in the building, whereas other teams have

162
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 3: a lot more in the building access that's because Andy

163
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: Reid shut that off. It doesn't want that shown, so

164
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: they don't even have cameras, whereas HBO. The way it

165
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: works out they deal made with the deal made with

166
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: the NFL and the teams is that the teams have

167
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: final say on what makes the show or not. So

168
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what we get from the jets.

169
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm curious what what we get because I do think

170
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 3: that we might get a water down version of what's

171
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: really happening in there because of that, right, because of

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: you know, the the not you know, the teams getting

173
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 3: final say what we see. I'm still gonna watch. I

174
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: think Hard Knocks needs this. If you look at the

175
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: last couple of years, it's been a little bit boring

176
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: as far as the things we used to talk about.

177
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 3: Hard Knocks were like in the locker room, you know,

178
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 3: and the cutdo which is really hard to watch. Hard

179
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 3: to watch, but that is that is what we liked.

180
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 3: And so I hope, you know, we get some more

181
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: of that. We'll see.

182
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: Look, I will say this with his ego, here's a

183
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: guy that spent like three or four days in a

184
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 2: cave to make a decision when he's gonna play or not.

185
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, come on, really, and now he's afraid to

186
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: be on Hard knot.

187
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 3: Right, And if you remember, he made that decision, he

188
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: said he was going to retire coming out of the

189
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: cave and then looked at his phone and decided that

190
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: he wanted to now actually not retire and wanted to

191
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 3: keep playing. So he actually made zero decisions in the cave.

192
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 3: He just said that to me because it sounds it

193
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: sounds like he's supposed to say that.

194
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: Right now, I ask you this, number one, have you

195
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 2: ever been on a team that was in Hard Knocks?

196
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: And two, what's the big deal about being on Hard Knocks?

197
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: Well, you know, there's a lot of there's a lot

198
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 3: of what happens in the locker room. You know, it's

199
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 3: you know, you're you're allowed to freely speak, right, and

200
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 3: you want to be able to say things. And again

201
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 3: this is not that there's a locker room is full

202
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 3: of people saying things that are inappropriate and wouldn't be aired.

203
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 3: But I think you want to be able to kind

204
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: of speak freely, and especially in your meeting room. I

205
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: know I've had friends that have been on these shows

206
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 3: and said, hey, we're not putting a camera in the

207
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: offensive line room, right like, We're just not You're you're

208
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: just not going to do it. The Panthers were the

209
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 3: Panthers did all or Nothing show, if you were calling

210
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 3: amaz on it, they had never had they only had

211
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: one camera in one like room, and they all sort

212
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: of met in this one room because otherwise they're working

213
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 3: to do it individual rooms. I just think you want

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 3: to you want to just not have to worry about

215
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: the camera being in your face the whole time. And

216
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: I think you want to not worry about, you know,

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 3: getting constant something that you shouldn't say in the locker

218
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: room setting. I think you want to not have the

219
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 3: coaches talk you. You'll want to hear the coaches talk

220
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: about you, because you know, as a player, the coaches

221
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: are up there talking about you and talking about your play,

222
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 3: and you'd rather just like not hear them, say keep

223
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 3: that private. I think. So it's just it's just a

224
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: it's a distraction, it's just something else there.

225
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 2: But I think the best point of Hard Knocks was

226
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: then the players after hours after but this.

227
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 3: Is not but this is like not what Hard Knocks

228
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: is anymore? Right, there was I saw a few clips

229
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 3: on the internet yesterday of the first Hard Knocks, the

230
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: Ravens one was the first one after they won the

231
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: Super Bowl. And the things that were said on that

232
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 3: show by the players and the coaches, and then jokes

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: you'd be canceled if you said those things down. I

234
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 3: hate that were canceled because it's not you know, actually

235
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: don't get canceled ever. But there would be a backlash

236
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 3: if some of those things were said today, some of

237
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: those jokes, and again they're pretty benign jokes, but people

238
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: will you very bet out of shape if those jokes

239
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: were said today, you know. And so I just think

240
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: that players are worried that would be the outcome if

241
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 3: they if there's cameras around the entire time. And that's

242
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: that there's no longer that there's no longer that part

243
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 3: of the show because of that reason, Like they're not

244
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 3: that these teams are not gonna get their players in

245
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: trouble for saying something that they shouldn't say. And again, the.

246
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: Show is practice, you know, scrimmaging, maybe an exhibition game

247
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: and maybe a little locker room stuff in the cutting.

248
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 2: That's it. I remember when the Bengals were on, they

249
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: had Chad Johnson, they followed him around to nightclubs. That

250
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: was great.

251
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're not You're like, you're just not, like you're

252
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: just not going to get players who agreed to do

253
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: that anyways, right, Like there's not it's just not gonna

254
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 3: happen anymore. So it it's changed, It certainly has hard knocks,

255
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: but I'm so I'm still gonna watch. I mean, it's

256
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, I think it's a good watch and this

257
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 3: is a fun team to do it with. The are

258
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 3: a team like that that really it doesn't Also, the

259
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: fact they don't want to do it is even funnier,

260
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: So it feels like, you know, it's even it's even

261
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: it's even funnier that they don't want to do it, like, great,

262
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: let's put them an.

263
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 2: Even more right, And I think that here's a team

264
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 2: that you know, a lot of question marks. I haven't

265
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: been in the playoffs. It's the longest professional team that

266
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 2: has not been to the playoffs. Now, there's a lot

267
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: of expectations with with It's like Green Bay East right now,

268
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: they got so many X packers on the Jets right

269
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: now with Aaron Rodgers. I think it's a natural I mean,

270
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: and the largest media market in the country, New York.

271
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta have them on no no question.

272
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 3: It makes perfect sense. And it's gonna be fun to

273
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 3: watch because of because they don't want to do it's

274
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 3: gonna be more fun to watch, right, right. And it's

275
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 3: it's a it's a distraction thing, right, Like we hear

276
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: this term all the time, a distraction, right. It was

277
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: it was most commonly brought up, I think with Colin Kaepernick, right,

278
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: and people say, well, we he teams don't want him

279
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: because he's a distraction, right, you know, to have a

280
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: backup quarterback like like you know that that that's getting

281
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: all the attention or Tim Tebow, right. That was used

282
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 3: a lot for Tim Tebow. He's a distraction in the

283
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 3: locker room, right, And what that means is we have

284
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: as players a flow to the day, right, a flow

285
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 3: to what we do in the locker room, and we

286
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 3: know sort of how how things are gonna go. Right.

287
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: There's a schedule, obviously, but just even more than that,

288
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: you know, when you talk about what the media is

289
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: going to ask you, you know what, you know what,

290
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 3: what kind of just all these things like you kind

291
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 3: of know what it's going to be. And if that

292
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 3: is disrupted at all because you're asked questions about anything

293
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 3: that happens off the field, or a player's conduct or

294
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: how he fits the locker room or what his political

295
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: stance is, it's it disrupts the flow of what you know,

296
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: of what you know, you know to the rhythm to be.

297
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: And that's what distracts just effect play. I mean, I

298
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 2: hear what you say, but it doesn't effect play well, right,

299
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: I mean it should well.

300
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: It shouldn't affect play. But coaches feel like if players

301
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 3: are answering questions about things that don't that don't like

302
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 3: specifically help the game plan, that's a distraction and they

303
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: try to eliminate as all those as much as they

304
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 3: could as much as they can.

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying, but you know what it happens.

306
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: It always happens, goes. There's always some clown on some

307
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: team that'll either get a duy. The gambling aspect, now

308
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: did there's so many.

309
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 3: Adds, right, and and those are things. All those things

310
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: are great examples of of like play of coaches like

311
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: I don't want this to be part of of like

312
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 3: the distractions, Like that's a distraction to to you know,

313
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 3: two coaches like they don't want they want to limit

314
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 3: all of those does no matter what they want to

315
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: limit all of them.

316
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: It's difficult to do that, you know. But look could

317
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: happened several years ago in Jacksonville. You know the coach

318
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: was a distraction, right.

319
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's and that's how the coach is gone like that.

320
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: That's it was the most distraction of the team. Yeah, amazing, Yeah, amazing.

321
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: There we go. Jeff Schwartz, he's no distraction here. I'm

328
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: tomorrow is the date for the deal. He wants a

337
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: at least for Sae Kwon Barkley, considering a holdout now

338
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: with the New York Football Giants leaving the franchise tag

339
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 2: offer of over ten million dollars on the table. He

340
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 2: wants a long term deal. The Giants offered them like,

341
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 2: like what a million point nine guarantee for long term,

342
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 2: but they didn't tell us how many years that would be.

343
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: And I think Barkley's got some leverage here, I really do.

344
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: Oh I think he has no leverage. So the highest

345
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 3: paid running back is Christian mccafley. He said sixteen million

346
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 3: a year, okay. Barkley asks for sixteen million a year. Okay,

347
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 3: he wants to be the highest pain running back. He's

348
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 3: not going to get that. The Giants counter that reports.

349
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 3: The Giants counter with thirteen million years. Now, we don't

350
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,200
Speaker 3: know the length of that deal. We don't know how

351
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 3: many years it's guaranteed, We don't any of those things.

352
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: Let's just say most guaranteed deals, andy are two years.

353
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,360
Speaker 3: Even if they're like a year and a half worth

354
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 3: of money, it's really ends up being about two years, right,

355
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 3: because they won't cut you after a year. So let's

356
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 3: it's a two year deal worth twenty six million dollars. Now,

357
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: it might be they might have a bunch of fake

358
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 3: numbers on the end of it, but you know, let's

359
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 3: just go with that premise. That's better than ten million

360
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: dollars for one season, right.

361
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: It'll be better than the franchise tagg he's been offered, right.

362
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 3: Correct, better being offered and at that position, with how

363
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 3: hurt sa Quon Barkley has been, it's a pretty good

364
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: deal for someone who can't stay healthy and hasn't proven

365
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,199
Speaker 3: that he's been able to stay healthy for even two

366
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: straight years. So if I were him, I know it's

367
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 3: come maybe tough pill swallow because you want more money,

368
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 3: I would take that deal. Now. I understand as a

369
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: player that there's a certain number you put on your

370
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: value and you think you should get that money. I'm

371
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 3: with that. I was the same way. I'm a bit

372
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 3: a bum player, man. I knew what I wanted, But

373
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: at some point you have to realize this is this

374
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 3: will be the best deal you get, and the Giants

375
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: are not going to pay you more like there's no

376
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 3: they They know the business of this league. They know

377
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: what wins and what doesn't. Look right now at the NFL, Indy,

378
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 3: and tell me which running back on a second contract

379
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 3: has been worth the money to their team? So the

380
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: options are you ready? The options are Derrick Henry? Has

381
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 3: he been worth the money to his team? I would

382
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,159
Speaker 3: say yes and no. Right for a year maybe, but

383
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 3: right now the deal does not look like it's a

384
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 3: great deal, okay, Ezekiel Elliott NOO. Christian McCaffrey is a

385
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: Niner who the Niners did not pay him right it

386
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: was it was the Panthers. I would say that he's

387
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: been probably worth it, but obviously, you know they never

388
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 3: won a championship with the Niners yet. Okay, but he's

389
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 3: been he's been worth it. Otherwise, like who else is

390
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 3: ever worth a second contract? The answer is like is nobody?

391
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: Joe? Who Nick Chubb?

392
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the Browns aren't winning anything right now with

393
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: the Jubb right if Deshaun Watson's good, they're gonna win.

394
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: So that's that. That's the concern. If you're if you're

395
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 3: any of these running backs, and the Giants know this.

396
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: The Giants are there, they're smart about this. I commend

397
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: the Giants. Look, we have a price. We're gonna pay

398
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 3: you and that's it. And if you don't like it,

399
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 3: all right, well we can win without you. And I

400
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 3: think that the Giants can win without Saquon because the

401
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 3: reason why the Giants will win and lose this season

402
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 3: is is Daniel Jones being better. Now. Saquon helps the

403
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 3: offense in general, but doesn't really change Daniel Jones as

404
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 3: far as what he can do as a passer. And

405
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: the Giants new coord wide receivers right Paris Campbell. They

406
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 3: resigned Hodgens they drafted Jalen Hyatt. Those guys are more

407
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: important to the success in my opinion than take one is.

408
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 3: And I know Giants is gonna be able to argue

409
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: about it. It's Daniel Jones. If Daniel Jones is better.

410
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: If he is if he's able to do a little

411
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 3: bit more in the passing game, the Giants will win

412
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 3: more games than the Giants have a tougher schedule this year,

413
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 3: which is definitely and there's definitely be some regression in

414
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: their one score wins. But the Giants aren't going to

415
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: pay him and what he wants. And do you have

416
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 3: to choose the player? It's you choose the player. Do

417
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: I take do I take more? Or you know, do

418
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 3: I do a one year deal as a franchise tag

419
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 3: and see what happens next year? Or do I take

420
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: the money and be happy with the money that that

421
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: I got in the market.

422
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I got some pros and cons on this deal. Okay,

423
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 2: Number one I like and I think he's a good guy, well.

424
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 3: Like most guys in the NFL. I mean, I should

425
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 3: we should pay them.

426
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: Right, But he's a You talk about leverage, and if

427
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm his agent, I say the Giants were eight and

428
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: two when he rushed for seventy yards or more. Last

429
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 2: year seven and two when he had one hundred or

430
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: more yards from scrimmage. They were zero and three when

431
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: he rushed for less than fifty yards. That's the leverage.

432
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 2: If I'm his agent, if I'm the Giants, I say,

433
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 2: you know what, this is not a running back league.

434
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 2: Give me a running back out of college and after

435
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: the first contract, rip it up and get another kid

436
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: out of college. That's what it's all about.

437
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 3: That's that's what I would do if I was if

438
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: I was a owner or someone in charge of finances

439
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 3: for the team, I would draft be running back every

440
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 3: four years.

441
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: No, that's what it's all about. I mean, sorry to say,

442
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: but that's it. Because look, running backs don't get big money.

443
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: Just the other day, Joe Mixon was looking for ten mil.

444
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 2: He signed with the Bengals for five mil. And his

445
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 2: excuse was, I guess the agent had a statement saying

446
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 2: he wants to win and he's going to have his

447
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 2: money cut back so they could use the money to

448
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: pay Joe Borrow. No, they're not paying running backs big money, period,

449
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 2: end the story. Plus he had some wolf the field

450
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: problems as well. Makes them.

451
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just not it's just not it's just not

452
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 3: worth it to pay all that money for backs. It

453
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that they're not, you know, a valuable position,

454
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: because I feel like running the ball itself is valuable.

455
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 3: I think that that you know, that that that has

456
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 3: gone to a point where and I get what the

457
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: analytics say, and I'm a big proponent of analytics, but

458
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 3: it's you know, running, Like, the physicality of the game

459
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 3: is still very important, and running the ball is part

460
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: of the physicality of the game. And I get that

461
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: it might not be the individual running back that's as

462
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 3: important that you know, and I think that that's something

463
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 3: that you know, that that it's hard for people to understand.

464
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: But it's not the individual running back that's as important.

465
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 3: It's a run game. And we've seen so many times

466
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 3: where a lower round draft pick, I mean, we saw,

467
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 3: you know, with with with Pachika, right, the Chiefs seventh

468
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: round draft pick, Like, you don't need those guys to

469
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: you know all, you don't need, you know, those guys

470
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: to be these high round draft picks to have a

471
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 3: successful running game in the NFL.

472
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. Look, I think he's gonna sign. He's

473
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 2: gonna take the offer, the franchise tag. He has no choice,

474
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: he really does. I mean, and that's the way it's

475
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: gonna be. I mean, it's sorry, say Quon, just as

476
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 2: the way, this is the way of the life of

477
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: the NFL now with running bats. Sorry, this is basically

478
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 2: that's what it is. Jeff Schwartz, Andy Furman, Fox Sports

Speaker 2: in about ten minutes from now. And he mentioned Jeff

519

Speaker 2: Steph Curry who had a hole in one Yeah, hole.

520
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 3: In one thing. Yeah, oh he looked good. Yeah, man,

521
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 3: you watch his tournaments. Are fun to watch these celebrities,

522
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: you know, in an athletes like there's some guys that

523
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: have a legit opportunity to be like pro golfers. One day,

524
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 3: I feel like, right, I mean.

525
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: And I ask you this because you're an athlete, you

526
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: play in the NFL. You know, once an athlete, always

527
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 2: an athlete, that it doesn't necessarily mean you're good in

528
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: all sports. I mean, I was surprised to hear the

529
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 2: hole in one, but I guess when you're blessed, you're blessed.

530
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you played baseball. You were a decent baseball

531
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 2: play they played basketball too, right, I mean.

532
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 3: Not like not like this. I mean it's, uh, you know,

533
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,679
Speaker 3: they're because are good at golf, man, you know, but

534
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 3: being a being a pro golfer obviously it's just much

535
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: so much different. But a lot of these guys are

536
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: just you know, they're they're good at golf, like they're

537
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 3: just they play a lot of golf and they become

538
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: good at and they're athletes. It's fun to watch.

539
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 2: So so I ask you this, if you practice and

540
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 2: practice hard, even if you don't have the genes of

541
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 2: an athlete, you can become an athlete or good at

542
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 2: that sport. I would think it's like practicing an instrument

543
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 2: when you're young. You'ren play the violin or the piano.

544
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 2: Just practice four or five six hours a day. Eventually

545
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: you'll go to Carnegie Hall and perform.

546
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not I don't think it's as easy

547
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 3: as just practicing. I mean, otherwise anyone could just do it.

548
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: I think you have to have some special talent within you,

549
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 3: you know, within to get it done. But yeah, I

550
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,399
Speaker 3: mean you if you have that special talent and you practice,

551
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 3: then that's when you know, that's when it kind of

552
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: comes together.

553
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: All right, So I guess, I guess even if I practice,

554
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: it's not gonna happen. But I tell you what's going

555
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 2: to happen. This is a bad look. Northwestern University. They

556
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: fire their football coach Pat Fitzgerald, who I like. I

557
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 2: like Pat, but sorry, Pad, this is all over now.

558
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 2: Then several days later they fired Jim Foster, the baseball coach.

559
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: This from Northwes. I mean, look, for any school's bad,

560
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: but for Northwestern, I think it's really bad. And they

561
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: think they blundered this deal. First they give a two

562
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 2: weeks suspension without paper Fitzgerald. Then several days later they

563
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 2: fired a guy. I mean, come on, I mean this

564
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: athletic threat. This sounds like a clown to me. Anyway.

565
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: You know, how do you not know what's going on

566
00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: in your athletic department. That's the worst of it.

567
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's not a good look for Northwestern, but

568
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 3: you give a two weeks suspension followed by you now,

569
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: and the suspension, by the way, wasn't even a suspension

570
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: during an important time of the year, right, I mean,

571
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: this is a time of the year where nothing's happening.

572
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: In college football, and you just spended a coach from doing nothing,

573
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 3: which is again not I think, a way to handle

574
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: the situation. And you know it, You when you're a

575
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 3: coach for seventeen years at a place, you cannot say

576
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 3: that you don't know what's happening in your locker room. Right,

577
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 3: that's the argument. The pathisher can know what was happening

578
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 3: in the locker room. And I just don't believe that

579
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 3: for someone who's been there seventeen years. There's too many

580
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: people that talk. There's too many people that will say, hey, coach,

581
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 3: this isn't right or we should not be doing this

582
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 3: for the coach to not I know, plus supposed it.

583
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: You know, they had a whiteboard detailed you know, the hazing. Now,

584
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 3: let's be very clear, Andy, there is hazing. And then

585
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: we use that word hazing that is great for team building,

586
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: team bonding. Okay, really okay, yeah, because we we we

587
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: use that term I think to describe way too many

588
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: things that happened. So is it hazing? If an older

589
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 3: player says to me, hey, Jeff, go get me some

590
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 3: water and some food, is it like, is that hazing?

591
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so. Okay, I think that you're paying

592
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 2: your due as a rookie.

593
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 3: Is it hazing? If they make you like go sing, no,

594
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: is it hazing? Like I think there's a broad a

595
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: broad you know way we describe hazing. Some people would

596
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: call that hazing.

597
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw that hard knocks to have that little

598
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 2: talent show, right of hard Knight.

599
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 3: Right, right, and some some of that. Again, I think

600
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: it's just very just you know, playful team buildings. It's

601
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: about like building bonds and if we have done we've

602
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,239
Speaker 3: done some of the same things these guys have as

603
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 3: young kids, Like we've all done it, you know, you

604
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: kind of build a bond together, right, like a shared

605
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 3: bond of doing the same thing. Okay, right, And so

606
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 3: some of the hazing I think it's fine again quote

607
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 3: unquote hazing. But when you get into kind of the

608
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: sexual nature of this hazing, like that's what that's the problem.

609
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: It's like it's kind of gross. Like I'm kind of

610
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 3: surprised again if it's if it's all true, which it

611
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: seems like it is, because you know, the law firm

612
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 3: that was in charge of of investigating the termine that

613
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: was more likely than not that this was occurring. It's

614
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 3: like it's it's odd behavior from the players, Like players,

615
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 3: what are we doing?

616
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: Like, why is this something? Why would you do that?

617
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: I mean, we know it's disgusting and it really why

618
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: who does things like that? I mean that had these

619
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: nudity things, I mean going through a shower naked. I mean,

620
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: why what does that do? I don't understand. I just

621
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 2: don't get it.

622
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,239
Speaker 3: That's my point about this, Like, this is beyond what

623
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 3: is normally kind of refer you know, normal in the

624
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: locker room of Hazel And I think it's kind of

625
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: it's kind of it's very it's gross, like it's just

626
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 3: like and so I understand why coach had to go.

627
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 3: You might think he's a nice person, and he might be,

628
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 3: but you can't let this go in your building. You

629
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: you just can't. And again, there's parts of hazing I

630
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 3: think that are totally acceptable and normal and can be

631
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: used for team bonding experiences. They again they're not this,

632
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: but this was too much. It's too much. And I

633
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 3: think if one thing that always interests me andy in

634
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: these situations for all all sorts of companies, not just

635
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, not just comfort ball teams, is you have

636
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 3: lawyers that you pay a lot of money to. You

637
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: have pr people that you pay a lot of money to,

638
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: and yet somehow you still butcher the delivery of these

639
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 3: punishments right like you have like what did you think

640
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: was going to happen when it got out that you

641
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 3: were making players run through the locker room and then

642
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: there were other players that were naked like doing you

643
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: know just this? What do you think was gonna happen?

644
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: This wasn't gonna get out and then you end up

645
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: having a mess where you have to fire a coach.

646
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 3: If you would come out and said, look, man, this

647
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: is non acceptable. We're suspending papast Joe for a month

648
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 3: of the regular season. Okay. People might have been like, okay,

649
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 3: all right, fair punishment, but when you give them two

650
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 3: weeks during a dead period, people are like, yeah, no,

651
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: not doing that. And the backlash was so big because

652
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: they didn't release the report, they didn't say why they

653
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 3: just spent it for two weeks, the backlash was so

654
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 3: large that they had to they had to fire him.

655
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: If you if you appropriately, if you appropriately punish at

656
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 3: the beginning, then you don't have to fire the coach.

657
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: It was all botched for the get go. It was ridiculous.

658
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: And when I heard the term it was forced participation

659
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: of these athletes on the FitzGeralds watch. That really to me,

660
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 2: I guess that's someone considered Peter pressure. If you're a

661
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 2: freshman and a senior says you better go into the

662
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 2: shower naked, I mean, what do you do? It's pressure.

663
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it absolutely is peer pressure. And I know we've

664
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 3: all we've been there, not in this in this certain instance,

665
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: I've never done. And that's thing too, is like this

666
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 3: is beyond like what is regular hazing, And we've all

667
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: been there for peer pressure where you kind of like,

668
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 3: again it's like a hey, kid, do this because I

669
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 3: did this, right, and it kind of again it's the

670
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 3: shared experience of bonding. So again I get why, Yeah,

671
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: I get why hazing exists in a sense when it's

672
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 3: not of the sexual nature like this, right, which again

673
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: I made very clear, it's a very odd well.

674
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: The fraternity initiations all the time, right.

675
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 3: It's not right what they did. So I questioned the

676
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 3: players that participated in this as older players, like why

677
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 3: would you want to do this? I guess because you

678
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 3: did it. But again it's again, it's just not something

679
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 3: that is normally done in a football locker room.

680
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is, Jeff that the players had

681
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 2: more sense than the coaching staff and the athletic direct there,

682
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: because it was the players that went to the Northwestern

683
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 2: Student Daily newspaper and complained and talked about it, and

684
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 2: basically that's what did them in.

685
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 3: Well here, they complained and talked about it because it

686
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 3: wasn't handled correctly the first time. If it was handled

687
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: correctly the first time, where Northwestern punished Fitzgerald appropriately the

688
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: first time, then there's not the problem now, right. But

689
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 3: they didn't. They did not punish him appropriately the first time.

690
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 2: Are you saying they should have fired him for the

691
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: get go?

692
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: No, I don't know if that was the right answer.

693
00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: But if they would have said, a man, we'll give

694
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 3: you a month of a suspension during the actual season,

695
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: I think that you get a much different reaction from

696
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: the community and from the players than what you got

697
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: from this. And I think that that, you know, that's

698
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 3: part of the Again, you hire all these people to

699
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 3: talk about you know, you know, to be your attorneys,

700
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: and every and then you like, don't you don't do

701
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: these It's just it's it's odd that this isn't you know.

702
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: They cannot handle crisis managements the key. They can't do

703
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 2: it correct they can't do it. And so again I

704
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: think this the end result was always going to be

705
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 2: him being fired after this came out, because again it

706
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 2: wasn't handled correctly, the right way, and I understand why

707
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: why he was fired. You just you're not allowed to

708
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 2: make the argument I didn't know. You just can't do that.

709
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: It's stupid.

710
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 4: It is.

711
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say, I don't know all the time when

712
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 2: you ask me sports questions. But it's a different story.

713
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 2: It's different, right. Jeff Schwartz, I'm in the firm of

722
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 2: do it. Let's talk about this hazy thing that happened

723
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: in Northwestern. Have you ever seen it in any program

724
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 2: to have it in organ No?

725
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 3: Never? All right, and was normal stuff and when I like,

726
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: you know, the singing, that buying, buying things, you know,

727
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, making it awkward for rookies. Never like that.

728
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: My first stories that they take a guy in their

729
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 2: time to the goalpost and they just throw balls at

730
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: his wreend.

731
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 3: I mean that's not I mean, that's not a story.

732
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 3: I mean that was That's been a hard knocks.

733
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, so they do have it. I don't

734
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: understand the purpose, but we move on, all right. Baseball

735
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 2: this week they had the All Star Game that was

736
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: your birthday on Tuesday? Number one? Did you watch it?

737
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 2: And I ask you, what is the best All Star

738
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 2: game in all the sports?

739
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 3: I did not watch much of it. And the reason

740
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 3: why it was because again I made this point many

741
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: many times, it's just hard to watch the game and

742
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: care because I get to watch the highlights every single

743
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: night of the week. It just it's just hard to

744
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: care so much when I watch. Again, when I when

745
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: I was younger and the All Star weekend was you know,

746
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 3: players that they get to watch all year long, I

747
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 3: felt like more connected to it. I don't feel connected

748
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 3: to it now because I see these players every night.

749
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 3: I see the highlights every single day. So I just

750
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 3: don't feel as connected to the All Star Game. And

751
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,800
Speaker 3: the jerseys were atrocious. I mean, I just don't want to.

752
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: Use their have the team's jersey that they play on.

753
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: Come on, really it was bad.

754
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was real.

755
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 2: And the ratings were down again, Why do you think

756
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: the ratings were down?

757
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 3: The reasons I said, I mean, who's legit? Like, I'm

758
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: not setting up to watch an All Star game like

759
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 3: I watched a bunch of baseball yesterday. I'm watching the

760
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 3: same players in that game a couple of games later.

761
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: Because I had that when we were kids, you only

762
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 3: watched your local team. There wasn't MLB TV, it wasn't

763
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 3: as many national television games. You know, that was the

764
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 3: only time all year I got to watch King Yo

765
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 3: Virginior play or Kyle rip Can play. Right, Like, there

766
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: was the only time a year I got to see

767
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 3: these players. Now we have twenty four to seven access

768
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 3: to all these players. You know, I don't feel that

769
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: connection to having to want to watch the All Star Game,

770
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 3: the best All Star Game, I mean, the best All

771
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 3: Star Game is probably the baseball one because it's the

772
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: most it's the most real to the actual game itself,

773
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 3: right right, And so I would say that it's it's baseball,

774
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: even though I didn't watch much of it.

775
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, in football, I got to flag football, and basketball

776
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 2: it's like just running down the court and heaving it up.

777
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. So I think baseball is probably the best,

778
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 2: but they need to wear the team Jersey's number one.

779
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: I think what hurt the All Star Game more than

780
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: anything else is when they had inter league play, because

781
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 2: there was a time way back when the only time

782
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 2: you could see players from the other league were All

783
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 2: Star Game or the World Series, and now you see

784
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 2: it all year long. So yes, I think it takes

785
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: away the drama a little bit. And I don't think

786
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: they go back. I don't think they'll ever go back

787
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 2: to non into league play, do you. I think they should?

788
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 3: No? No, no, going to do that all.

789
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 2: Right, last, but not least. And it's kind of a

790
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 2: strange question, but I wanted to know what is it

791
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 2: like or how tough is it to play on a

792
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 2: losing team, and any sport at any level, you're just

793
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 2: losing and going through the motions on a weekly basis,

794
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: it's got to be terrible and people pointing figures.

795
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 3: So I played on a two and fourteen Panthers team

796
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 3: in twenty ten. You know, I was fortunate enough to

797
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: have an older offensive line room that really did a

798
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 3: good job of kind of keeping everyone engaged. But it

799
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 3: really it's a personal it's up to kind of yourself,

800
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 3: like your personal responsibility to keep yourself engaged in what's happening. Unfortunately,

801
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 3: what happens, because you know, you start thinking about the

802
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 3: future is you just become very selfish because you really

803
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 3: have to worry about you know, you know, taking care

804
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 3: of yourself and making sure that you're in the best

805
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 3: position for kind of after the season, because what happens

806
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 3: when you have a bad year to be your coach fired,

807
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: you're front office staff conspired, there's no loyalty anymore to you.

808
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 3: You have to make sure that you're set for the future.

809
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 3: And so you become unfortunately pretty selfish, uh andy, because

810
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: you don't really have any other option, like you have

811
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 3: to be you have to be selfish. It kind of stinks.

812
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: And let's play what a coaches say. When you're two

813
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: and fourteen, you were like two and twelve at a time. Yeah,

814
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 2: kind of a speech as a coach.

815
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,240
Speaker 3: Gives, well, we know much time here. But John Fox

816
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: is very honest with us about the situation. So that

817
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 3: was that was that was nice for him to be

818
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: that way. I mean, he told us what was happening,

819
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 3: and you know, what was happening behind the scenes, So

820
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 3: it was good to hear. It was good to hear

821
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 3: a coach be honest with you about that.

822
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 2: All right, we'll find out about that coming up next

823
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: and uh, big hour, big hour coming up. Don't go anywhere,

824
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 2: keep it locked here. If he's the goat, how can

825
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 2: this be? We'll explain that hen just about a minute.

833
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 2: if I may. You talked about the John Fox situation

834
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 2: with a losing team. I'd like to hear how a

835
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 2: coach could handle up because he may know he's on

836
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:20,800
Speaker 2: the hot seat and he may be gone anyway.

837
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, So twenty ten was interesting season in Carolina because

838
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 3: if your call, it was the uncapped year, right, there

839
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 3: was a gonna be a new CBA in twenty eleven.

840
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 3: And part of the way that, you know, the previous

841
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: CBA was set up and to try to get the

842
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: players and owners to talk was to have this uncapped

843
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: year in twenty ten, and so owners did whatever they

844
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: wanted with the salary cap. In part of that was

845
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 3: a lot of owners just cut a bunch of salary

846
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,479
Speaker 3: and actually Washington, I think Dallas got fined forty million

847
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: dollars for the way they handled their roster that season.

848
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 3: And what Carolina did, what our owner did, was he

849
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 3: basically decided to cut all the older players. So we

850
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 3: had a roster, a very young roster without a lot

851
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 3: of talent, and we weren't going to be good, and

852
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,560
Speaker 3: we weren't. We're ow to five to start the season.

853
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: We also had a back going. Look what happens really

854
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 3: is you a bad quarter by situation, right, we had

855
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 3: Matt Moore, who was fine, who was a good you know, hey,

856
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:25,839
Speaker 3: he was a five hundred quarterback. And then we drafted

857
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 3: Jimmy Clawson out of the blue. And John Fox had

858
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 3: always said that he didn't even know that we were

859
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: gonna draft him, but he had not even watched them.

860
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 3: There wasn't even a consideration about drafting Claws and they

861
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 3: did it anyways. And uh so we had Jimmy Classon

862
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 3: who just wasn't good. It happens he was a young player.

863
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 3: So about week seven or eight, John Fox comes to

864
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 3: the locker room and says, hey, guys, we'll let you

865
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 3: know I'm gonna be gone at the end of the season. Back. Yeah,

866
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,919
Speaker 3: I'm locking me back.

867
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: Oh, on his own doing, or you know, he's going

868
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: to be fired.

869
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 3: He knew he's gonna be fired. But what he wanted

870
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: was for us to know as players that we should

871
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 3: play for ourselves, we should put out good film, we

872
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: should make sure to win for each other, and that

873
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 3: in the end, you know, Fox is gonna be fine.

874
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: Don't worry about John Fox. And that was fair. He

875
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: told us, like what the deal was, Yeah, it was

876
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 3: good good Man.

877
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 2: Good Man speaking of being fired as a coach. Ben Volin,

878
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 2: a writer in the Boston Globe, wrote the other day

879
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 2: that the Patriots coach Bill Belichick is on the hot

880
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: seat for twenty twenty three. How can this be? The

881
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: guys the goat right now? I know, the last three

882
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 2: years without Tom Brady, they were twenty five and twenty five,

883
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 2: and then they made the playoffs two of the last

884
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 2: three years. And maybe it's the relationship with Robert Craft

885
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 2: that's kind of shaky a little bit. But does he

886
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: need to make the playoffs to keep his job? I

887
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 2: can't believe this.

888
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 3: Well, New England's gotten used to the success of the years,

889
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 3: you know, six championships in like twenty years, and I

890
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 3: think that that obviously sways sort of you know, what

891
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 3: expectations are each year. I think that Belichick's on a

892
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 3: warm seat if they don't win this season, because look,

893
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 3: he's in charge of personnel, right, He's in charge of

894
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 3: personnel and the quarterback situation. I think Matt Jones will

895
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 3: be much better this year with with the real offensive coach, right,

896
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 3: and we know real offensive coach is gonna end up

897
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 3: being you know what, will will be Bill O'Brien. But

898
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 3: I still think there's some, you know, some questions about

899
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: the roster, about Matt Jones, and when those get figured out,

900
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 3: and if they do this year, we'll we'll know if

901
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 3: Mat Jones has it or not. Belichick is a general manager,

902
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 3: is on the convent of the chopping ball. I don't

903
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 3: think Belichick is the coaches, but as a general manager,

904
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: they're used to winning a lot. They're used to winning

905
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 3: a lot in New England. I'm not sure he's in

906
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 3: a hot seat, but I think he'd be on a

907
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 3: warm seat they don't win, man, don't you think so.

908
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a situation kind of governed by

909
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 2: the fans. I think there'd be a lot of backlass

910
00:43:58,000 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: from the fans if they open the season oh toh

911
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: and three. There'll be a lot of fan pressure, which

912
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: kind of maybe would crack Robert Kraft to do something.

913
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to get canned, and I

914
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 2: don't think I love a get can in the middle

915
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 2: of the season. But I think that you've got a

916
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 2: question what Belichick did several years ago when he hired

917
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: Matt Patricia, who basically came up through the coaching ranks

918
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,400
Speaker 2: on the defensive side of the ball and making the

919
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. Why would he do that?

920
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 4: Oh?

921
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 3: Which is kind of my point, Like you have a

922
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 3: situation where you know Belichick is the general manager is

923
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: on the hot seat, not Bilblichick as the coach. But

924
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: they're the same person obviously, right.

925
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: And I looked at some of the quotes that basically

926
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 2: the ownership Robert Kraft had to say, and unquoting says, Look,

927
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 2: I think Bill's an exceptional is exceptional what he does,

928
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: and I've given him the freedom to make the choices

929
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: and do the things that it needs to be done.

930
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: This is what Kraft told. This is like NFL media,

931
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: I think they said he said this, and he said,

932
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 2: quote his football intellect and knowledge is unparalleled from what

933
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 2: I've seen, and when you talk to him, the small

934
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 2: things don't lookally that he looks at. Okay, But in

935
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: the end, this is a business. You either execute and

936
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: win or you don't. That's where we're at. I think

937
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 2: we're in a transition phase. I think we've made some

938
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,319
Speaker 2: moves this year that I personally am comfortable with. I

939
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 2: still believe in Bill. All Right, we'll see what happens.

940
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 2: But he says, it's a business. You know, I think

941
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: the fans will rule. I really do. The fans start

942
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 2: staying away, they start booing there's a problem, then all

943
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: of a sudden things happen.

944
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I Again, you have to judge each team

945
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 3: based off the situations that you know in the expectations, right,

946
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 3: So like the expectation in New England to win a

947
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: championship every year, and if they don't do that, then

948
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 3: that's looked at as a failure, right, And that's how

949
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 3: you have to judge them. Whether you like that fair

950
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 3: judgment or not. They they's to the expectation for themselves.

951
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would think that they're spoiled. There's no doubt

952
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: about that.

953
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: This course is spoiled because the expectation for like the

954
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: Bears is winning seven games, you know what I mean?

955
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 4: Right?

956
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 2: But who spoiled them? Bill Belichick's although you know this

957
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 2: has hurt his legacy. I mean they're gonna say that

958
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:05,960
Speaker 2: maybe Belichick wasn't a coach we thought he was. It

959
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:06,960
Speaker 2: was all Tom Brady.

960
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 3: Okay, no one look at every kind of best coach

961
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 3: in the NFL history. Okay, they all had a quarterback,

962
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 3: all right, almost can you find one whould consider to

963
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 3: be in you know top ten coach. We didn't have

964
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 3: a Hall of Fame quarterback. They all have Hall of

965
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 3: Fame quarterbacks. Look, Indy Reid, Indy Reid. We was considered

966
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: one of the best coaches in the NFL, and now

967
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: he has Pat Mahomes and he's an all time great coach.

968
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 3: What a surprise, Right, he'd always been this grip he's

969
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 3: never had, He never had Patrick Mahomes, Right, you know

970
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 3: Bell Belichick, Bill Walsh had, Joe Montana, Like, come on,

971
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 3: you know who else is on that lego? Chuck No

972
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 3: had had had, Bradshaw, Right, all these guys, you can't

973
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 3: find one. Don Shula had, Bob Greasy, Right, how do

974
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 3: you you can't find one of them? Landry had Stallbach,

975
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 3: Jimmy Johnson, Aikman, Right, Like, we look at these guys,

976
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:14,320
Speaker 3: they're all they all have Hall Dame quarterbacks. Yeah.

977
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. But again, I don't think

978
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 2: people are gonna judge Belichick like that because they think

979
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 2: that he's a genius and no matter who he has,

980
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: he's going to win. No, he should win. But that's

981
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 2: the problem. But you can't win without a quarterback.

982
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: He made the playoffs two years ago with mac Jones, right,

983
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: I would not be surprised if you looked up this

984
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 3: year and they were like ten and six with one

985
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 3: game left in the season for fighting for a playoff

986
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,879
Speaker 3: berth like, they're could have win a lot of games

987
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 3: again this season.

988
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 2: You know, I tell you they have a rough goal

989
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 2: of it because of the division they're in. I mean,

990
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 2: it's it's like that.

991
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 3: Guess what, Andy, A lot of teams have a rough

992
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 3: go It's the NFL, man, Like.

993
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 2: You know what you're saying, but you know, like the

994
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: the South Division is not that tough. I mean, this

995
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 2: this division right now is loaded. The best quarterbacks in

996
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: the league are in the AFC right now. Yes, yes,

997
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 2: and he's in the AFC and mac Jones is not

998
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 2: one of the best quarterbacks. That's the problem. And then

999
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: when they did make the playoffs, they I think they

1000
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 2: lost something like forty seven to seventeen to Buffalo in

1001
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 2: that wildcard round. It was bad, pretty good, It was bad. Yeah,

1002
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 2: it wasn't good, I know, I mean, and honestly, I

1003
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 2: just I just don't know why. Look, I know the

1004
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 2: why they can't win out of a quarterback. But was

1005
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 2: it all Brady? Was he didn't have a great surrounding cast.

1006
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 2: I mean, think of the receivers he had. How many

1007
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame receivers did he have when he played

1008
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 2: for New England? Really? I mean, so what made them

1009
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: so good? I'm thinking about what was it?

1010
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 3: But look, remember early and early in his career. In

1011
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 3: his career, Tom Brady was led by a really great defense, right,

1012
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 3: Hall of famers on defense, right, and then it switched

1013
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: over the years to where the team was led by

1014
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,200
Speaker 3: the offense. You need to have both to win, right.

1015
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's no surprise that in the two years

1016
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 3: achieves to win the Super Bowl most recently, their defense

1017
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 3: has been the best it's been in that five year run, right, Like,

1018
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: you need both to you to win most often, and

1019
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 3: so yeah, Tom Brady played a big role in that.

1020
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 3: So it comes down to the confidence of playing with

1021
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 3: someone like Brady, where you as as a player understand

1022
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,719
Speaker 3: that Tom Brady will essentially make it right no matter what,

1023
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 3: can make it right no matter what. And so that

1024
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 3: confidence makes you play a little bit faster, makes you

1025
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 3: play that fear of a say, look, if you're on

1026
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: defense and you know you have Patrick Mahomes, you play

1027
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 3: with a little bit less fear to screw things up

1028
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 3: because you don't have to be perfect because you know

1029
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:51,359
Speaker 3: Mahomes will score enough points to help you win. When

1030
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 3: you are on a team that doesn't score a lot

1031
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 3: of points, there's a feeling of having to play perfect

1032
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,479
Speaker 3: on defense and eventually that just mentally wears you out.

1033
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,319
Speaker 3: And so that's how a good quarterback helps the entire

1034
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 3: team is it gives them the confidence that they can

1035
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 3: do things and play faster because the quarterback will end

1036
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 3: up saving them if they screw up.

1037
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're playing for New England and you're down

1038
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 2: in the last four or five minutes of the game

1039
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, you have that confidence knowing that

1040
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 2: Brady has always come back at the end to win.

1041
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 2: He's done that.

1042
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 3: You know.

1043
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 2: I see what you're saying now. I mean, it's not

1044
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: that you're not playing as hard as you can, but

1045
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 2: if you screw up, you can't have Tom Brady to

1046
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 2: cover you.

1047
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 3: That's the right correct.

1048
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me, you know how one guy in

1049
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 2: one position, and that position probably is the most important

1050
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,719
Speaker 2: position in sports in all of sports, the quarterback. And

1051
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 2: to me, it boggles my mind that many general managers

1052
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: and coaches still don't know that.

1053
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 3: You know, they know the draft, evaluate and get the

1054
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 3: wrong one. Well, you have to be arrogant to be

1055
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 3: a coach, right, You have to. You have to. You

1056
00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 3: have to right because you have to think that you

1057
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: know what I teach, what I how what I can

1058
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 3: do will make us better. There's an arrogance that comes

1059
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: to that. It doesn't mean that coaches inherently are arrogant personalities,

1060
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 3: but there's an arrogance of like an ego, right, there.

1061
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 2: Has to be there has to be do it my way, not.

1062
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 3: Even that andy, but like I I can coach these

1063
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 3: guys to play better. There's arrogance that has to be

1064
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 3: with that, which is fine, that's totally normal. So a

1065
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,560
Speaker 3: lot of coaches, though, where it gets them in trouble

1066
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 3: is they think to themselves, I can take a talent

1067
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 3: that's not as good and make them better. A quarterback,

1068
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:36,240
Speaker 3: I can you know, okay, we desperately need a quarterback.

1069
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 3: Let me let let him get in my system and

1070
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 3: my system will get him right. And they take quarterbacks

1071
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 3: that aren't as good that that becomes the issue. That's

1072
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 3: where teams get in trouble.

1073
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 2: Put it like that, So are you saying that although

1074
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick is a defensive guy, when he takes a

1075
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 2: Matt Jones in his heart of hearts, he says, look,

1076
00:51:57,680 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 2: I can make Mac Jones, I could get him to

1077
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 2: the next Well, he's got talent, but I can make

1078
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 2: them really good. Yes, oh yeah, even though there's not

1079
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 2: a great there's not great personnel surrounding Mac Jones.

1080
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 3: Well, that's also a problem that Belichick has had it

1081
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 3: over his Careerge can't find those wide receivers.

1082
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't understand why they.

1083
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 3: Just understand it.

1084
00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 2: Is it money people don't want Maybe people don't want

1085
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 2: to play for him? Is that a possible Have you

1086
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 2: heard that in the I.

1087
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: Think I think that now it's probably more of an issue,

1088
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 3: but I do think that previously it was not. I

1089
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 3: mean it was not a I think people were excited

1090
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 3: to play for Belichick. I think now, you know you,

1091
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:41,440
Speaker 3: when you stop winning, people are less excited, right.

1092
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,319
Speaker 2: I see that. So your take on it now this year?

1093
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 2: Do you think they're a playoff team? I don't think

1094
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 2: they are. I'd love to see them go to the playoffs,

1095
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 2: but I don't think they can do it. I don't

1096
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: think they have the personnel number one and number two.

1097
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 2: The division they're in.

1098
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 3: I think there's a better opportunity. I think they're gonna

1099
00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 3: be pretty good. I think that they're gonna be again.

1100
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:04,480
Speaker 3: You're gonna look up in week seventeen and be like, oh,

1101
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 3: the Pagers are one and went away from the playoffs.

1102
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 3: I think it's kind of right.

1103
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think a big factor is not gonna be

1104
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. I think it's gonna be Bill O'Brien to

1105
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 2: running the offense this year. That's the key. It's you know,

1106
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien was not a good general manager when he

1107
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 2: was in Texas, But I think he's a good offensive

1108
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 2: mine and I think he could help them.

1109
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:26,440
Speaker 3: I think so too. He has been a he has

1110
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:31,399
Speaker 3: been a fantastic offensive coach. He just can't be again.

1111
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 3: He's the general manager. Partner Houston is the one that

1112
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 3: that killed him, right, Yeah, it wasn't it was it

1113
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 3: was that was the problem.

1114
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. I mean, I hope it

1115
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: works out. And uh, I just he needs rumors. I mean,

1116
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 2: I just don't know, you know why people would say

1117
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 2: a guy with a with a legacy like he has

1118
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 2: is on the hot seat. The just I don't know.

1119
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,839
Speaker 2: It's like, you know what it is. Everything you've done, yeah,

1120
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 2: they are, and everything you've done all those years it

1121
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 2: means nothing, and now one year is going to change it.

1122
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 2: I just it hurts me, really And now I understand

1123
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 2: why Belichick is so tight lip when it comes to

1124
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 2: the media. He's not gonna talk to these guys anymore.

1125
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:11,879
Speaker 2: What they did to him. They're coughing them up before

1126
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 2: the season starts.

1127

1158
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. And when I

1159
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: say is it real, I'm talking about the sophomore jinks

1160
00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 2: and sports. Do players really believe in the sophomore or

1161
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: it used to be if you get your picture on

1162
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 2: the cover of Sports Illustrated, you were destined to failure.

1163
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 2: So do they believe in this sophomore jinks?

1164
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 3: Uh? In what like sort of purpose we're talking about it?

1165
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,719
Speaker 2: Okay, you had one year in the league and you're

1166
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: kind of iffy and you're coming back and the second year, like, wow,

1167
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 2: I mean, am I gonna make it? Am I going

1168
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 2: to fail? What's gonna happen to me this year? Because

1169
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 2: I got a bunch of guys I want to talk

1170
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 2: to you about that are entering this second year in

1171
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 2: the National Football League and will they face this so

1172
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,320
Speaker 2: called sophomore jinks.

1173
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 3: I don't think that players believe in a sophomore jinks.

1174
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:41,800
Speaker 3: I think what happens is players feel that in the season,

1175
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 3: not a jinx, but they feel like, okay, like there's

1176
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 3: always a moment when you think you've arrived and you

1177
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 3: realize you haven't arrived. And I wouldn't call that a

1178
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 3: sophomore jinx. No, But like, what's your who are your examples?

1179
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay? Some NFL players who have some real pressure on

1180
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 2: them this year to avoid this season. Number one Sam Howell,

1181
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Washington Commander's a fifth round pick out

1182
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 2: of North Carolina and basically the coach. Ron Rivera of

1183
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:10,800
Speaker 2: Washington says, he's my staughter. I mean this guy, I mean,

1184
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 2: does he have any hope, any chance? Will he in

1185
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 2: fact start the remainder of the season after the first

1186
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 2: several games. I think that's a big push. And I

1187
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: feel really really bad for Eric Bienemy, who's going to

1188
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 2: be the offensive coordinator and he's going to deal with

1189
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 2: a guy like Sam Howell.

1190
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 3: Well, this is his first year starting. I don't even

1191
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 3: show there's a sophomore James. Really, I mean he was.

1192
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 3: They had to beg the reports where he had to be.

1193
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 3: Who was the quarterback last year, Taylor Heinecke. He had

1194
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 3: to basically beg then to start him in week eighteen.

1195
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 3: So I think that this is year one for him. Really,

1196
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 3: it's a tough spot. New offensive coordinatic, the enemy.

1197
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 2: Bad running game. They don't have much of a running game.

1198
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 3: He here's the thing. Okay, so here's the thing that

1199
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 3: just it's it's so important to note here, samhow was

1200
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 3: I believe a fifth round draft pick. I'm correct, their

1201
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 3: fifth round draft pick. Ok. All right, it's hard for

1202
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 3: people to understand this franchise quarterbacks. The NFL our first

1203
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,919
Speaker 3: and second round draft picks are there. The occasional later

1204
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 3: round draft Yeah yeah, right. Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Dak

1205
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 3: Prescott won Super Bowl between those three, those three and

1206
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 3: and and one and Chooserrle appearances basically right like that.

1207
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 3: Cousins and Dak I had never been made in the

1208
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 3: championship game in their respective conferences. Most of the quarterbacks

1209
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 3: are our franchise quarterbacks, our first and second year, excuse me,

1210
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 3: first and second round draft picks. Tom Brady is the outlier. Okay,

1211
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 3: Look at the NFL. Look at the top, Patrick Mahomes,

1212
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Trevor Lawrence, like, they're

1213
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 3: right there, justin Herbert, they're all top Aaron Rodgers, They're

1214
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 3: all top round quarterbacks, Jalen Hurt's second round draft pick. Right,

1215
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 3: they're at the top of the draft. To expect Sam

1216
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 3: Howe to be a franchise quarterback is lunacy. He's not

1217
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 3: going to be a franch corker. He is an outlier.

1218
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 3: If it happens, and you cannot bet on ours. Think

1219
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 3: about this too. The Vikings excuse mean really the Commanders

1220
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 3: at the time. Washington did not draft Cousins to be

1221
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 3: the franchise quarterback. The Cowboys did not draft Dak Prescott

1222
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 3: to be the franchise cork. He was a backup for

1223
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 3: Tony Romo. Right. Russell Wilson was not drafted originally to

1224
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 3: be the franchise quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. He had

1225
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 3: to have Matt Flynn played terribly in front of him.

1226
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 3: These instances have to happen for to work. So Sam

1227
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 3: how is not gonna be that guy.

1228
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 2: So I'm hearing what you're saying, and I believe everything

1229
00:59:56,760 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 2: you say. And the fact that if I'm a GM

1230
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 2: and I'm looking for a quarter back and and all

1231
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks so the good quarterbacks are gone in round

1232
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 2: one and two and I'm rolling along right now, and

1233
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: there are some quarterbacks left that I got a sixth, seventh,

1234
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: eighth round pick. I'm not picking a quarterback. I mean,

1235
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 2: chances are he is not gonna make it right, But.

1236
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 3: No, but any you need backup quarterbacks. So having backups

1237
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: is fine, but to expect them to be champions and

1238
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 3: make her is not the expectation.

1239
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 2: Here's a quarterback for you. Okay, sophomore Jinks possibility. Kenny Pickett.

1240
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 2: He was the only first round quarterback that was picked.

1241
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:34,360
Speaker 2: I think it was the twentieth pick overall on the

1242
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steels. Okay, and I think he needs to turn

1243
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 2: it around this year. He threw just seven touchdown passes.

1244
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Last year. He ranked thirty second in yards per attempt,

1245
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 2: like six point two? Does he make it? He was

1246
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,160
Speaker 2: a first round pick.

1247
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 3: I actually think he. I think he's good.

1248
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 2: So you think Kenny Pickett's gonna make it. He's not

1249
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 2: gonna face that sophomore Jinx.

1250
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think he's gonna get better. I think there

1251
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 3: were things that a lot, you know, they were like, okay,

1252
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 3: this is uh, this is this is this is legit.

1253
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 3: Like he made some plays last year we thought, okay,

1254
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 3: he's got he's got a little bit of that.

1255
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: Well, he turned you know, I don't know if the

1256
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,760
Speaker 2: team turned it around. He turned it around because after

1257
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 2: the first four games he threw seven interceptions. But back

1258
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 2: down the second stretch of the season, they were seven

1259
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 2: and two down the stretch to save Mike Tomlin, avoiding

1260
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,920
Speaker 2: him from losing his first Uh, he turned it around.

1261
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 3: He looked a lot better. He was, you know he was.

1262
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 2: He was good, all right, So I have confidence in

1263
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 2: Kenny Thick. I think under the tutelagit of Mike Tomlin,

1264
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 2: I think they'll do well. They got a decent defense. Okay,

1265
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: now here's another quarterback and I saw him playing in college.

1266
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to get it done.

1267
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter the Atlanta Falcons.

1268
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, I don't see it.

1269
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: I think he's I think he's kind of a holdover

1270
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,960
Speaker 2: until I get someone who's going to be a franchise quarterback.

1271
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 2: I think he's one of those guys that you know

1272
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 2: he's gonna be there in the middle of looking he

1273
01:01:57,640 --> 01:01:59,920
Speaker 2: didn't throw from one to two and twenty five yards

1274
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,440
Speaker 2: and any of his four thoughts as a rookie. And

1275
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 2: I think that on a team like that, they got

1276
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 2: some good offensive lineman to protect them. But I don't

1277
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 2: see him really getting it done. I really don't. I

1278
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 2: think he's gonna be a guy that's going to be

1279
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 2: there until they get someone better.

1280
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's just a placeholder in my opinion.

1281
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean, but still, I mean, I think

1282
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 2: it's great. I mean, I think it's great. The guys

1283
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,520
Speaker 2: in the NFL is gonna get a big payday. But

1284
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 2: I just don't think he's going to get it done.

1285
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, what he was He drafted on the second

1286
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 2: day of the NFL draft. So again, you know that

1287
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 2: answers the question. And you tell me that he drafted

1288
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 2: on the second day, there's a real good chance you're

1289
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,120
Speaker 2: not going to be a franchise quarterback or a starting quarterback.

1290
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 3: No second day has a second round. It's after the second.

1291
01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Round, late in the second round, I mean.

1292
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 3: Late after late is you know, Jala hurch is on

1293
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:51,919
Speaker 3: the middle second round, so it was car late second

1294
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 3: round and on No, he can happen, but it's it's.

1295
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 2: Not likely, right right, And I think that if you're

1296
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: a GM or a personal director making a draft pick,

1297
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 2: you know, and you talked to the coaching stats that

1298
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,200
Speaker 2: we need a quarterback, but there's a real outstanding lineman

1299
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 2: or or safety there in that position. I'm going with

1300
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 2: the safety alignment. I mean, the chances of the guy

1301
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 2: being a great quarterback are very very weak. I think, right, yes,

1302
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 2: there we go, all right, Jeff Schwartz, Andy Furman, here's

1303
01:03:19,560 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 2: the question of day. How can this team be a

1338
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 2: a critical part? And we'll get to that in just

1339
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 2: about a minute. We've coursed a fifty offline. We'll be

1340
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: called Fox Sports Sunning the Fox Sports Radio. He's Jeff Schwartz,

1341
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 2: I mean Andy Firman. I just heard the score that

1342
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 2: Steve gave in that WNBA All Star Game one fore

1343
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 2: win twenty seven. Oh my goodness, Yeah, it's crazy. Did

1344
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 2: you watch that?

1345
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 3: No, but I watched the Haunts of Sabrina and Nescu

1346
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 3: making you know, twenty five of twenty seven to three pointers?

1347
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 2: Is that something? Well, she went to your school, didn't

1348
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:28,440
Speaker 2: you go to Oregon?

1349
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was. They were the best team in the

1350
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 3: country in the COVID year and they wouldn't want a championship.

1351
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 3: It's kind of bummer. Then he goes to do that

1352
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 3: the turn was canceled. They're three players drafted in the

1353
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 3: top ten in the WNBA draft in the same year

1354
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 3: they were good, and Sabrino was the best player in

1355
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 3: the country, and Subumber they get a chance to win it.

1356
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 2: It really is all right. We got bon and Barrow

1357
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 2: Benning coming up at about seven eight minutes from now.

1358
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 2: But here's the question of the day. They're missing a

1359
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 2: critical part. How could they be a Super Bowl contender?

1360
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the San Francisco forty nine ers. They

1361
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,960
Speaker 2: picked to be a Super Bowl contended. They were there

1362
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 2: last year, perhaps I think the best team in the NFC,

1363
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 2: But how can they be Aren't they missing the quarterback?

1364
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: Can the forty nine Ers return to the Super Bowl

1365
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: without a franchise quarterback. In fact, I got to ask you,

1366
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 2: who the hell is that quarterback? Is it Brot Perdy

1367
01:06:13,360 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 2: coming on that UCL surgery right?

1368
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 3: It's interesting, man, I I don't think we've ever seen

1369
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 3: a situation like the Niners before where you have arguably,

1370
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 3: right the best left tackle in all football, and.

1371
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 2: The arguabent you do, he's the best Williams.

1372
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 3: You have the best pass rusher in football in Bosa.

1373
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 3: You have the best running back in football in you know,

1374
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 3: in in Hooja McCall in, Christian.

1375
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 2: McCaffrey in the second best tight end.

1376
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 3: You have the second best tight end. You have one

1377
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 3: of the best linebackers in football. You have one of

1378
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 3: the best defense tackles in football, one of the best

1379
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,920
Speaker 3: young safeties in football. You have all these things that

1380
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 3: are going in your direction except of course, the quarterback.

1381
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 3: And you can't win without the quarterback. It's there's nothing.

1382
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:20,600
Speaker 3: There's nothing like this, man. It's hard to even it's

1383
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:23,600
Speaker 3: just hard to even fathom that they're in this spot

1384
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 3: right now like this. It's crazy.

1385
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 2: So how do they win? How can they win? Will

1386
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,760
Speaker 2: they win? That's the question? I guess Rock Party for

1387
01:07:30,840 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 2: all accounts that I've been reading. You know, he's recovering

1388
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 2: well and he's going to be the stunning quarterback.

1389
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 3: You're talking about sophomore, sophomore Jinks, whatever however you you

1390
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 3: called it. Yeah, I just don't know how you can

1391
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 3: expect at all that this is going to end up

1392
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 3: going well for Party year two, right, I mean, it's

1393
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 3: just it's it's you just it's just it feels like

1394
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 3: it's yesterday. Last year was like a magical year, right,

1395
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 3: like it worked out perfectly for them. It's just not

1396
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 3: going to be this perfect this year. Just it just

1397
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 3: isn't you know.

1398
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 2: Do you talk about Tom Brady being an amazing story

1399
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 2: what he has done, being a six round draft pick,

1400
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 2: and certainly he's got the track record. You can't compare

1401
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 2: Brock Party after one year, but he was the last

1402
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 2: person drafted in the NFL draft. And I watched it

1403
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. It was it was it was

1404
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 2: hard to watch him. He couldn't lift up his arm.

1405
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,719
Speaker 2: I mean every play was a running play. He couldn't

1406
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:26,120
Speaker 2: pass the.

1407
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:31,599
Speaker 3: Football aship game. Yeah, it was. It was an ideal. Yeah,

1408
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 3: I just I don't think you're going to get the

1409
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 3: same sort of you know, in year two, it feels

1410
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:45,479
Speaker 3: unlikely to get the same production and sort of ease

1411
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 3: that happened in year one. This doesn't happen that way. Man,

1412
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 3: it doesn't happen that way.

1413
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 2: So who call is Trey Lance the quarterback? Because he

1414
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 2: basically hasn't done much in the National Football League as

1415
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 2: of now. Wow, so he got some problems.

1416
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 3: I would think he was drafted to be the quarterback,

1417
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 3: to be the quarterback in the future. That's what he

1418
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 3: was drafted. At some point you have to you's got

1419
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 3: to pay off.

1420
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: So in other words, there, but I don't know what

1421
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 2: you do. I don't know what Kyle Shanahan does. But

1422
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 2: for all accounts say parties that guy perty is the guy.

1423
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 2: So that means that the guy they drafted to be

1424
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 2: their franchise quarterback is going to be behind the guy

1425
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 2: was drafted last on the NFL draft as of right now.

1426
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, basically, yeah, it sounds like they they had a

1427
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 3: bad draft, right.

1428
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 2: And I know that Trey Lance got hurt that pushed

1429
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 2: him back a little bit. But again, he hasn't He

1430
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 2: has no track record whatsoever in the National Football League.

1431
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 2: So I don't know what you do. I mean, and

1432
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 2: certainly when when you have like what three games to prepare,

1433
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 2: three preseason games, that's not enough to decide who's going

1434
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,519
Speaker 2: to be your starting quarterback. But again, as you mentioned,

1435
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: all these all pro guys surrounding him on both sides

1436
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 2: of the football, is that enough to bring this football

1437
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,480
Speaker 2: team back to the super Bowl.

1438
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:04,920
Speaker 3: In in the in the weaker NFC. Possibly, Yeah.

1439
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 2: The only other team in the NFC that could be

1440
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:13,599
Speaker 2: a possibility, I would think is Minnesota, maybe Chicago's Dallas, Dallas.

1441
01:10:13,840 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 2: I still have my Dallas with Dallas because they just

1442
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 2: the coaching staff hurts me. I think in Dallas that's

1443
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 2: the problem there. But you know Minnesota, and again you

1444
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: don't know what you get with Minnesota. But again i'd

1445
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,240
Speaker 2: have to say San Francisco is probably the best team

1446
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 2: in the NFC, even though you got a quarterback with

1447
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 2: a question mark on his head.

1448
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the NFC. It's gonna be a lot of

1449
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 3: fun figuring out FC goes this year.

1450
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 2: It's funny because you got Deebo, Samuel Brandon, Ayuk. I mean,

1451
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 2: you've got some great players on this team, and if

1452
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 2: the one thing that may hurt them. I've it hurts

1453
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,799
Speaker 2: every team. Obviously it's injuries, but I think they're traveling.

1454
01:10:51,160 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 2: I mean, they travel probably more than any other team

1455
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 2: in the National Football League mild wise, and that's crazy,

1456
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 2: it really is. They got five prime time wings year.

1457
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,759
Speaker 3: The forty nine is the Seahawks are one that always

1458
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 3: the Seahawks always have the most travel.

1459
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:09,960
Speaker 2: You're right, I think the fur of the second most

1460
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 2: miles in the league, only to the Seahawks.

1461
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I mean, but they a lot of times

1462
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 3: they stay on the East Coast for a couple back

1463
01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 3: to back weeks to kind of you know, alleviate some

1464
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:17,960
Speaker 3: of that.

1465
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,879
Speaker 2: Amazing I mean, and again, I never understood why travel

1466
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,759
Speaker 2: is a big deal in the National Football League.

1467
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, it's more about it's more about

1468
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 3: like what rest and recovery. It's just that that part

1469
01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 3: is hard to come back from, you know, just the

1470
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 3: non stop you know, being bing boom of travel and

1471
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 3: coming back that it's it's the recovery from injury that

1472
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 3: makes it the hard part.

1473
01:11:40,960 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 2: I would say this worse than travel, and look, I've

1474
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 2: never been there, done that. You have. Worse than travel,

1475
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 2: to me would be playing a Sunday game, and even

1476
01:11:48,960 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 2: if you're not traveling, playing at home that Thursday, that

1477
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 2: would be a killer to me. More than yeah, say

1478
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 2: that's not fun. I wouldn't think so. I mean, come on,

1479
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 2: I mean, the body can't take. I don't think it's

1480
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 2: good for the body. And I don't think it's healthy

1481
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,280
Speaker 2: for the body Sunday to Thursday. And more than that,

1482
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:10,479
Speaker 2: you have no time for a game plan because normally,

1483
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 2: what Tuesday's your day off. I'm sure you don't get

1484
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 2: a day off than that week. You got to go

1485
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:15,439
Speaker 2: through the game plan.

1486
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,559
Speaker 3: You're right through it, yep, said it.

1487
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 2: Really it's crazy, it really is. I just I don't

1488
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 2: know why the Players Association have not come up with

1489
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 2: a situation where you can't plan on Thursday nights. I mean,

1490
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 2: I get it. For a fans point, it's great and

1491
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: I love it. You know, we've got Monday because Thursday,

1492
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 2: because Sunday. I think it's wonderful because it just keeps unrolling.

1493
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 2: But just from the body, the banging of the body,

1494
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 2: what it takes. I mean, and now they're talking about

1495
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 2: maybe having a team in Europe where they are their mind,

1496
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 2: you know, flying to the England. I just don't see it.

1497
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 2: I really don't.

1498
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 3: It's uh, I mean about them all about the dollar right.

1499
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I guess TV dictates that. I mean,

1500
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 2: you're getting the money, and uh, you know that's why

1501
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: I think Commissioner Goodell is doing such a great job

1502
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 2: because he's bringing revenue. That's all. That's all you got

1503
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:07,599
Speaker 2: to bring. You know, it's in baseball. Same thing with baseball.

1504
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean the patches that have on the uniform right now.

1505
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,599
Speaker 2: You know that the eleven o'clock in the morning Eastern

1506
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 2: time games in baseball that you got to pay for

1507
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 2: on cable TV. You know that the owners love that.

1508
01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: They don't care about the competition. They don't care that

1509
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 2: Oakland's gonna lose one hundred and fifty games this year.

1510
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 2: They don't care. They care about the checks that they

1511
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 2: care about. Fans got to realize that, correct, Yes, ten

1512
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 2: thousand people announced yesterday in Oakland. It's a joke. There's

1513
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 2: more people in the grocery store down the street than

1514
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 2: they're not watching an Oakland a'sed baseball game. Yes, sid,

1515
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 2: it really is. I'm sorry I got on my ranting here.

1516
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 2: Didn't want to okay any any further comments on that

1517
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 2: you're my man, You're the guy. Okay, we move on.

01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 3: at Fox Sports are in Australia right now for the

1602
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 3: Women's World Cup. And we had this debate with him

1603
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 3: yesterday about whether Georgia football could just take up rugby

1604
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 3: and be really good at it. So because they went

1605
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 3: to a National Rugby League game there.

1606
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 4: Look at you, why don't you go?

1607
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:57,800
Speaker 2: No, wait, just to say, I have a feeling and

1608
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 2: maybe I'm I'm just saying this so at the top

1609
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 2: of my head that you Ethan Miller are giving Jeff

1610
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 2: Schwartz the information prior to the show. I just got

1611
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 2: that feeling.

1612
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 4: It's not my fault that Jeff is just you know,

1613
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 4: he knows a lot about different and all right, maybe

1614
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 4: I should just pick different games. I guess don't. Maybe,

1615
01:18:19,960 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 4: all right, we got the West Tigers versus the Saint

1616
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 4: George Dragons. Oh man, I couldn't tell you on that.

1617
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 3: I think a dragon would be the tigers. Give me

1618
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 3: the dragons, you know.

1619
01:18:34,360 --> 01:18:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with the West Tigers. I think the Tigers.

1620
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 2: I think could a tiger be the dragon if they

1621
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,040
Speaker 2: had like a cage match.

1622
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 3: I mean it depends, like if you're looking at like

1623
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 3: a Game of Thrones, dragon the dragon a Game of

1624
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:48,599
Speaker 3: Thrones would win.

1625
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 2: So, but there comes in different sizes dragons, don't they

1626
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:52,920
Speaker 2: they're smaller dragons.

1627
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:54,600
Speaker 3: I'm just going off the last dragon I've seen it.

1628
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:55,639
Speaker 3: That was a Game of Thrones.

1629
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm still going with the Tigers, all.

Speaker 3: those kids who is like very good at sports but

1717
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:55,960

01:23:03,479 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 3: and then she was moved up to the eight year

1721
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:08,320
Speaker 3: olds for the all star meet and like didn't even

1724
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 3: you know, she's just not really care. But she's good

1725
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:18,679
Speaker 3: at sports.

1726
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 2: That's a good thing.

1727
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 4: Really.

1728
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,759
Speaker 2: Now, I gotta ask you. It's a personal question because

1729
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 2: you're to me, you're like a gentle giant. You know,

1730
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 2: you played in the National Football It's rough, it's tough,

1731
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,719
Speaker 2: but I can't ever see you really getting mad. Okay,

1732
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Speaker 2: So I gotta ask you, Jim Schwitz, what actually bugs you,

1733
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 2: you know, I get all. I got into a lather

1734
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 2: sometimes when when things happen and stupid things like watching

1735
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 2: the old Star Game of Tuesday night, I'm saying, where

1736
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 2: the hell are the uniforms of the teams that these

1737
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 2: guys play on? That bugged me. Okay, it's crazy, I

1738
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 2: know I lose sleepover it. But what actually bugs you?

1739
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 3: I get I get pretty upset with like people that

1740
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 3: what's the right way to put it, Like people that

1741
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 3: like cut lines, Like people that like that don't abide

1742
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 3: by like common courtesies, you know, like when you're when

1743
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 3: you're waiting to board an airplane and like I'm waiting

1744
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 3: in line and then someone just thinks they're better than

1745
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 3: you just walks in front of you because and even

1746
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 3: though we're like in the same group, like they just

1747
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 3: like people like that, just that they don't use common

1748
01:24:21,800 --> 01:24:22,839
Speaker 3: courtesy and respect.

1749
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 2: And then also to the thing I hate to do this,

1750
01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 2: it's funny you bring that up. I had the TV

1751
01:24:29,160 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 2: on the other day. It was raining side of the

1752
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:33,960
Speaker 2: TV on the afternoon. Judge Judy of all people was on. Okay,

1753
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,800
Speaker 2: there was a story about a little kid was was

1754
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 2: ran through a door in a restaurant where a guy

1755
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 2: was holding the door for his wife and the guy

1756
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 2: didn't like it, and they got into an altercation and

1757
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 2: he punched the kid in the face, so and the

1758
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 2: kids sued him. The guy lost two thousand dollars, but

1759
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 2: it was unjudged. Judy is the same thing, just rude.

1760
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 2: And the guy went to the kid and said, you

1761
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,320
Speaker 2: know what, you're just rude. You know it was funny.

1762
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 3: I mean, you know they have something as simple as

1763
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 3: just you know that it's a pet peeve, I mean

1764
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 3: is what it is. Also, too is I think that

1765
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:12,360
Speaker 3: i Q tests should be should be as simple as

1766
01:25:12,680 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 3: putting people in a crowded parking lot and seeing how

1767
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:21,120
Speaker 3: they respond. Nothing like, let's be more wrong, nothing than that.

1768
01:25:22,560 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 3: I have some easy pet peeves. I have it pretty easy.

1769
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 3: Those are my pet peeves. But things like that, like again,

1770
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 3: like the common courtesy stuff to me really bothers me

1771
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 3: because it doesn't take a lot of energy to just

1772
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,640
Speaker 3: be like a good person, and it, you know, when

1773
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 3: people aren't, it just frustrates me.

1774
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm so happy you didn't say working with me bothered you.

1775
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,600
Speaker 3: So that's good, that's you know, that's uh. I just

1776
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,680
Speaker 3: tell Scott that every now and then. No, no it

1777
01:25:46,280 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 3: uh it again like common courtesy stuff because I try

1778
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 3: to be respectful and and nice to people. That's kind

1779
01:25:52,040 --> 01:25:55,240
Speaker 3: of I think the subtle norm. And it bothers me

1780
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,919
Speaker 3: again when people don't return that same just common courtesy.

1781
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 2: All right, I hear what you're saying. This great Now,

1782
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 2: maybe less is more or maybe less his best when

1783
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,120
Speaker 2: I say that, because it's about the NCAA and the

1784
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 2: NCAA Basketball Tournament, it's an enlargement of the sixty eighteen

1785
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 2: field they're talking about that that remains on the table

1786
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,760
Speaker 2: per a recommendation way back in January. In that good

1787
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 2: or a bit, I think sixty eight teams is good enough. Okay.

1788
01:26:19,080 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 2: If you remember, they had expansion in twenty eleven, they

1789
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 2: went from sixty five to sixty eight. In two thousand

1790
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 2: and one they went from sixty four to sixty five,

1791
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,680
Speaker 2: and the big one was nineteen eighty five, they went

1792
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:34,120
Speaker 2: from fifty three to sixty four. Had a poll of

1793
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 2: one hundred Division one head basketball coaches before this past season,

1794
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 2: and it was on CBS Sports. They found out that

1795
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 2: ninety seven percent favor of the tournament staying at its

1796
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 2: current format. All right, and I kind of like the

1797
01:26:49,160 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 2: number right now. What I don't like the fact that

1798
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: you have a team that could win a conference in

1799
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,599
Speaker 2: a lesser conference go to the conference tournament and lose

1800
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 2: and not go to the tournament, all right, That that

1801
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 2: to me is ridiculous.

1802
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:07,080
Speaker 3: I would say that you should win your conference tournament. Then, No,

1803
01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 3: I I don't think that we need more teams. I

1804
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:13,920
Speaker 3: think we have too many. I think we have in

1805
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 3: sports in general. I think we have too many teams

1806
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 3: in a lot of things. I think we have too many.

1807
01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 3: You know, we'll have twelve twelve to me, twelve teams

1808
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 3: to colach football playoff is too many. You don't need

1809
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 3: twelve like stuff like that, Like, we just we don't

1810
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 3: need more playoff teams. We don't need a mid season

1811
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 3: NBA tournament, Like who needs that? Right, Like, we just

1812
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,760
Speaker 3: don't need more of this stuff. So I am in

1813
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 3: agreement with anyone who says that we just don't need more.

1814
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 3: We just don't. It's not something that anyone needs. We

1815
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 3: have enough teams to tournament. We have enough teams have

1816
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 3: a chance to win. We don't need more. And plus

1817
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 3: we don't even get a lot of upset so it's

1818
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 3: not like we have like years when the sixteen seed

1819
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:51,799
Speaker 3: wins a tournament.

1820
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 2: It doesn't happen, right, And what about bowl games? I mean,

1821
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 2: you know, the only thing bowl games do, at least

1822
01:27:58,520 --> 01:28:01,640
Speaker 2: in my mind, it says coaches their jobs. So if

1823
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 2: you win six games, you go to a bowl, and

1824
01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,320
Speaker 2: these bowls start like on December fifteenth, it's very difficult,

1825
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 2: I guess for an athletic thearret to say you fired

1826
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:11,519
Speaker 2: because you made a bowl game. So a bowl game

1827
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 2: saved jaws for coaches, I.

1828
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 3: Can do that, it can save jobs for coaches. I

1829
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:21,800
Speaker 3: am just I am of the opinion that less is

1830
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 3: more than these situations, like a bowl game should be

1831
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 3: a reward for a great season, not whatever it is. Now,

1832
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, six and six, you make a bowl game,

1833
01:28:30,200 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, that's kind of that's kind of gross. Right,

1834
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 3: So I'm with you, man, I'm a Moore's less time

1835
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 3: of person on this type of stuff. Like I think

1836
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 3: we're getting to the point now where it's it's we reward

1837
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 3: you know, mediocrity too much.

1838
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. And and now the NBA is going

1839
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 2: to have that nd season tournament. Now I'm still confused.

1840
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 2: Will those tournament games count in the standings for the

1841
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:53,799
Speaker 2: regular season.

1842
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:57,400
Speaker 3: Okay, so well, so I think that the kind of

1843
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 3: like the group play games are just regular season games,

1844
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,880
Speaker 3: they have marked as tournament games, right like the pool

1845
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:07,559
Speaker 3: player games. Okay, I think I think our regular season

1846
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 3: games marked as tournament as the account as tournament games.

1847
01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 3: That's my general sense of what those are. And then

1848
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:20,160
Speaker 3: I think that I think that there's additional two games

1849
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 3: if you make the whatever you know, the actual tournament.

1850
01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I mean, look, when you need that makes

1851
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,320
Speaker 2: sense rule, yeah it does. But when you need a

1852
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 2: slide rule to figure it out, it's too complicated. Don't

1853
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 2: do it. And in another situation, Major League Soccer, which

1854
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm not a tremendous follower of, but there's a team

1855
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati and I follow them a little bit. They'll

1856
01:29:42,360 --> 01:29:45,679
Speaker 2: lose players to the national team during the regular season,

1857
01:29:45,760 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 2: which is a joke. I don't understand that baseball's doing that,

1858
01:29:49,560 --> 01:29:51,679
Speaker 2: and right now too, when they have the national games

1859
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 2: sometimes during the regular season. You know, it's just like,

1860
01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 2: either the seasons are too long or you shouldn't have

1861
01:29:58,120 --> 01:30:02,000
Speaker 2: these guys leaving team and you're paying these guys and

1862
01:30:02,040 --> 01:30:04,439
Speaker 2: they're leaving and you're you're at a loss, your team

1863
01:30:04,479 --> 01:30:06,360
Speaker 2: is at a lost. Look, all I know is this,

1864
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,559
Speaker 2: these seasons are too long. You got the Major League

1865
01:30:08,600 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 2: Soccer starts in March and ends in like late October.

1866
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:13,519
Speaker 2: That's ridiculous. It's crazy.

1867
01:30:13,800 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 3: Well it takes so long because of that. Of that,

1868
01:30:16,680 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 3: the kind of the way that the players do the

1869
01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:21,920
Speaker 3: mid season stuff, right, like like there's games like I

1870
01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 3: know that in Charlotte, the Charlotte FC team has like

1871
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 3: international games in the middle of.

1872
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,800
Speaker 2: The season, right, those friendlies that they have. Yeah, yeah,

1873
01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:33,960
Speaker 2: but it's it looks it's just ridiculous.

1874
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 3: Because our our our colleague, Jason McIntyre, he owns a

1875
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 3: team that's coming to Charlotte, an international team that's coming

1876
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,760
Speaker 3: to Charlotte, and like the late Joe, Yeah, he's a

1877
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 3: part owner of a team. So that's gonna be something

1878
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:52,759
Speaker 3: that you know, again, like they play those those friendly

1879
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 3: games Waller in the middle of their season, right.

1880
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 2: Look, I love sports. You love sports, but I think

1881
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 2: the come a point in time when it's just too

1882
01:31:02,040 --> 01:31:05,479
Speaker 2: much and the team's over laught. For example, the highlight

1883
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:08,880
Speaker 2: of the Major League Baseball season usually comes at the

1884
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 2: beginning of the National Football League, so the interest wanes,

1885
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,080
Speaker 2: even though when the World Series is on, I guarantee

1886
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 2: more people are watching the NFL than watching the World Series.

1887
01:31:18,320 --> 01:31:20,639
Speaker 2: So something has to be done, and you can't fight

1888
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:23,920
Speaker 2: with these people. You need to change things, change.

1889
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:29,360
Speaker 3: Before the NBA start on Christmas Day. Christmas Day, I'm

1890
01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:30,080
Speaker 3: with you right there.

1891
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 2: You know, I think some of these commissioners don't want

1892
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 2: to give in, and they want instead of bucking it,

1893
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 2: you know, just move on and evolve and do something

1894
01:31:39,080 --> 01:31:42,320
Speaker 2: that will better your sport. Now. They released the twenty

1895
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:45,760
Speaker 2: twenty four Major League Baseball schedule the other day. They're

1896
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 2: starting like March twenty eighth. How on the hell can

1897
01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:50,960
Speaker 2: you start March twenty eighth when you're playing Detroit. I mean,

1898
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 2: come on, there's snow on the ground. I mean, do

1899
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 2: you want the public to go out there and actually

1900
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,439
Speaker 2: sit there in a parker watching a baseball game? How

1901
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 2: could a guy hit? It doesn't make any sense, It

1902
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 2: really doesn't.

1903
01:32:01,439 --> 01:32:04,639
Speaker 3: Well, aren't they starting with some international games next year? First?

1904
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:07,720
Speaker 2: That I don't know that I haven't seen. Maybe maybe

1905
01:32:07,760 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 2: they are, I don't know, but I know they're traveling

1906
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,640
Speaker 2: to various places. Major League Baseball is so maybe you

1907
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:16,120
Speaker 2: are studying that way. I just don't know, but you know,

1908
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 2: there's gotta be some change, and they're not doing that.

1909
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 2: They're not changing. For example, in Oakland, you know they're

1910
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 2: gonna lose over one hundred game, maybe over one hundred

1911
01:32:24,320 --> 01:32:26,840
Speaker 2: and twenty games this year. No one's gonna go. I mean,

1912
01:32:27,560 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 2: it's course prohibitive to go to sporting events right now.

1913
01:32:30,280 --> 01:32:33,120
Speaker 2: Parking's fifty sixty to seventy dollars, maybe more New York

1914
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:35,200
Speaker 2: City two hundred dollars. So if a team's not winning,

1915
01:32:35,360 --> 01:32:37,720
Speaker 2: people don't go. So in order to change that, to

1916
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 2: make it a little more competitive, at the halfway point

1917
01:32:40,280 --> 01:32:43,000
Speaker 2: of the baseball season, during the All Star break, they

1918
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:45,799
Speaker 2: should start at oh and oh and have a second

1919
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:48,040
Speaker 2: chance for a team to win. So, in other words,

1920
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 2: you have a first half champion and then a second

1921
01:32:50,360 --> 01:32:53,439
Speaker 2: half champion, and the first half champion automatically goes to

1922
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1923
01:32:54,680 --> 01:33:00,879
Speaker 3: But you can't you can't raise a first half banner.

1924
01:33:02,040 --> 01:33:05,559
Speaker 2: No, you know, not that, but that team automatically goes

1925
01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 2: to the playoffs.

1926
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:08,880
Speaker 3: How many teams with the best record in the first

1927
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:11,240
Speaker 3: half do not make the playoffs end of the second half?

1928
01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:14,720
Speaker 3: I mean half the league makes the playoffs now basically right,

1929
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 3: fourteen teams of fourteen to thirty teams.

1930
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:19,880
Speaker 2: And that's crazy too, isn't it, even with the NBA

1931
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:20,320
Speaker 2: just too many?

1932
01:33:20,360 --> 01:33:22,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that's the point? Like we have half

1933
01:33:22,800 --> 01:33:24,600
Speaker 3: the leagues make the playoff anyways, you don't need to

1934
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:27,760
Speaker 3: have any special mid season tournament to get more excitement.

1935
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 2: Into it, right, But I think for the fans point

1936
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:31,719
Speaker 2: of view, when the team is twenty five thirty games

1937
01:33:31,760 --> 01:33:35,840
Speaker 2: out at the first place come July fifteenth, you just

1938
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 2: give up your wait for the football season to start.

1939
01:33:37,800 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 2: But if they start July fifteenth, an oh and o,

1940
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,880
Speaker 2: maybe there's a new life. Maybe there's a chance, maybe

1941
01:33:42,920 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 2: you'll go watch and play again. Maybe I don't, I don't.

1942
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:49,400
Speaker 2: I don't have the answer. I mean, baseball won't do it.

1943
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 2: I don't know why they won't do it. I mean

1944
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:54,920
Speaker 2: they'll make other changes. I don't see the changes making

1945
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:56,679
Speaker 2: that much of a difference. As far as the pitch

1946
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:59,680
Speaker 2: clock and the beauty of the game of baseball, to

1947
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: me was always thought it was timeless. The pitch clock,

1948
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:04,400
Speaker 2: to me, all right, throwed in. I don't get it,

1949
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 2: I really don't. I don't you know you go to

1950
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:08,559
Speaker 2: a game, I mean you want to leave that early?

1951
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 2: Is that why there is it pitchclock? See you stay

1952
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 2: in an extra half hour. You know. I was a kid.

1953
01:34:13,280 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 2: I go to Yankee Stadium. I've got to double headers

1954
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:17,760
Speaker 2: on Sunday one o'clock, that nine o'clock that night.

1955
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 3: But but the pitch clock is not for people in

1956
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 3: the in the game. It's for us watching on television.

1957
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 2: I guess. Yeah, I'll tell you.

1958
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 3: I went to Have you been to a Reds game

1959
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:29,200
Speaker 3: this year?

1960
01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:29,679
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1961
01:34:29,800 --> 01:34:30,120
Speaker 3: Seven?

1962
01:34:30,280 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I went to.

1963
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,480
Speaker 3: You know, we have a Triple A team here in Charlotte.

1964
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 3: I loved it, man, I mean it was our forty

1965
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 3: five and it was the seventh inning already instead of

1966
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 3: being the fourth inning. I think it's great. I also

1967
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:41,920
Speaker 3: have my kids with me, which is.

1968
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's well. You know why it's great with

1969
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,240
Speaker 2: the kids. Number one, they can't sit there long. Number two,

1970
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,200
Speaker 2: they'll drain you for concessions. Take get out of there faster.

1971
01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 2: Yes right, yeah, you're right about that. I mean I

1972
01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 2: remember I took my kids years ago when they were

1973
01:34:54,800 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 2: real young, and like, we got free tickets, big deal,

1974
01:34:58,160 --> 01:35:00,439
Speaker 2: big with the tickets with nothing. I must as sixty

1975
01:35:00,479 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 2: bucks in the concessions. It's ridiculous, really yeah, I mean

1976
01:35:03,320 --> 01:35:06,680
Speaker 2: they wouldn't stop, you know, popcorn, this, peanuts, I mean,

1977
01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:10,440
Speaker 2: ice cream, hot dogs, pizza. It's crazy. Oh yeah, stuts,

1978
01:35:10,800 --> 01:35:11,439
Speaker 2: it really is.

1979
01:35:11,840 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: You know.

1980
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't know why people have to have the urge

1981
01:35:14,280 --> 01:35:16,439
Speaker 2: to eat when they watch a sporting event. I mean,

1982
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 2: and I see people bringing in like sandwiches to games.

1983
01:35:19,800 --> 01:35:22,680
Speaker 2: I never understood that either. You know, can't you eat

1984
01:35:22,680 --> 01:35:24,400
Speaker 2: at home and go to a game enjoyed the game

1985
01:35:24,439 --> 01:35:25,360
Speaker 2: about eating or drinking.

1986
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 3: No, it's much cheaper, obviously it brings I mean, my

1987
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:30,560
Speaker 3: we used to bring in. We used to do it

1988
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 3: all the time. We would like sneak in like sandwiches

1989
01:35:33,280 --> 01:35:34,920
Speaker 3: to the Rose Bowl.

1990
01:35:37,120 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 2: Now I think some ball clubs permit you to bring

1991
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 2: some food in or some food and drink into the

1992
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 2: into the stadium. But I just wonder why do people

1993
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:49,639
Speaker 2: why are they obsessed with eating and drinking at a game.

1994
01:35:49,920 --> 01:35:52,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't see someone and I see this

1995
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 2: all the time when I go to a baseball game,

1996
01:35:54,200 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 2: they'll they'll spend money on like four or five six beers.

1997
01:35:57,280 --> 01:35:59,360
Speaker 2: It's like eight, nine, ten dollars a beer. I don't

1998
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 2: get it. I really don't. And plus the situation of

1999
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,599
Speaker 2: driving duy on the way home. I would never take

2000
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:05,160
Speaker 2: that chance.

2001
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, man, I mean I I uh

2002
01:36:09,439 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 3: I I. The drinking part obviously is you'll never want

2003
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 3: to be that situation. But I I don't have a

2004
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 3: problem if if you want to bring in you know,

2005
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:19,120
Speaker 3: you want to bring you know food in there, and

2006
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:20,680
Speaker 3: you in your own beverage.

2007
01:36:21,360 --> 01:36:23,800
Speaker 2: I hear you, well, water, I mean water. You got

2008
01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 2: to bring a drink cold water because they're charging five

2009
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:31,040
Speaker 2: six dollars for a water here. That's crazy. Really, I

2010
01:36:31,160 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 2: just I don't get it. Really, things are changed, things

2011
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 2: are crazy. But I'm sure people have some comments as well,

2012
01:36:36,880 --> 01:36:38,680
Speaker 2: and we'll listen to them. You could do it on

2013
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,960
Speaker 2: Twitter at Jeff Schwartz, at Andy Furman FSR or eight

2014
01:36:42,040 --> 01:36:45,439
Speaker 2: seven seven ninety nine on Fox. That translates to eight

2015
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,640
Speaker 2: seven seven nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. I

2016
01:36:48,720 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 2: got the blame game at the end of this hour.

2017
01:36:51,000 --> 01:36:53,360
Speaker 2: So they don't go anywhere. But one coach has a

2018
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 2: harder time than calling plays. That's next, as long as

2019
01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 2: he wins his beats. Cool. We'll get to that in

2020
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,519
Speaker 2: just about a minute. About twenty five minutes past the hour.

2021
01:37:04,600 --> 01:37:07,160
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday at Fox Sports Radio. He's

2022
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz. I'm Andy Furman and Well live from theti

2023
01:37:10,240 --> 01:37:13,800
Speaker 2: iraq dot com studios. And this is interesting, It really

2024
01:37:13,880 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 2: is because we talked about the north Western situation earlier

2025
01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 2: today and two coaches got canned, and now we got

2026
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,439
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart who was entering his eighth year as the

2027
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 2: football coach at Georgia. Ok they did a national defending

2028
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 2: chance two years in a row, if you remember, they

2029
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 2: rolled over TCU sixty five to seven in that championship game.

2030
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 2: But they have off field problems. Okay, And I gotta

2031
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:39,360
Speaker 2: ask you this, Jeff Schwartz, because you played the game.

2032
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 2: What's more important the off field problem? Does that outweigh

2033
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,519
Speaker 2: what happened in Northwestern with the hazing, which is basically

2034
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:50,479
Speaker 2: all field problems as well. Jim Forster at a baseball coach,

2035
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: he had bullying. He's gone. He was fired after Fitzgerald

2036
01:37:54,160 --> 01:37:58,160
Speaker 2: was fired several days earlier. What's worse? And I'm gonna

2037
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,880
Speaker 2: get into what the problems are in a second with

2038
01:38:00,960 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 2: Kirby at Georgia.

2039
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,880
Speaker 3: When we what's worse as far as which off the

2040
01:38:05,920 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 3: field is year's worse.

2041
01:38:07,280 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what's worse for a coach in a sense

2042
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 2: that Northwestern situation, they lost their job, those coaches. The

2043
01:38:14,800 --> 01:38:18,519
Speaker 2: fact that Kirby smart wins. I mean, he's kind of protected.

2044
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:22,479
Speaker 3: That's why he say, I mean winning cure as all right,

2045
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:27,920
Speaker 3: So if you win, you get the benefit of you know,

2046
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 3: your players get getting arrested for driving too fast a

2047
01:38:31,200 --> 01:38:35,000
Speaker 3: lot and an unfortunate incident where someone lost their life,

2048
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:38,519
Speaker 3: which is terrible. To two people lost their lives was awful.

2049
01:38:40,240 --> 01:38:42,760
Speaker 3: You know that that did not happen I guess on campus.

2050
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:45,880
Speaker 3: But they've had play and then they had three players

2051
01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 3: since that terrible accident who have been in trouble for speeding,

2052
01:38:52,840 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 3: you know, for driving too fast, and they survive because

2053
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 3: Kirby's teams want to jampions in a row. That's the

2054
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:01,920
Speaker 3: way it works, right.

2055
01:39:02,479 --> 01:39:05,320
Speaker 2: I got an article here from the Athens, Georgia Banner Herald.

2056
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:08,160
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable and I'll read part of it for you.

2057
01:39:08,479 --> 01:39:11,960
Speaker 2: After an Athens Clark County police officer placed handcuffs on

2058
01:39:12,160 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 2: Georgia Wide receiver Marcus Rolls me Jake sand for driving

2059
01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:17,879
Speaker 2: ninety miles an hour and a forty five miles zone.

2060
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:20,160
Speaker 2: This is on May twenty third. He asked him if

2061
01:39:20,200 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 2: he was an athlete, and the kids said yes, sir,

2062
01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 2: So what do you play? He says, I play for Georgia. Okay, football,

2063
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:30,240
Speaker 2: he says, cop says, really, really, you're all still speeding

2064
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:30,960
Speaker 2: after all this.

2065
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2066
01:39:31,439 --> 01:39:34,719
Speaker 2: Nearly six months after the offensive lineman Devin Wilcock, Merrab

2067
01:39:34,880 --> 01:39:37,720
Speaker 2: Stafford Chandler Lacroix were killed in an early morning high

2068
01:39:37,720 --> 01:39:41,160
Speaker 2: speed christ January fifteenth, Georgia football players continued to be

2069
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 2: arrested and cited by police for driving two fast, in danger,

2070
01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:47,160
Speaker 2: resistance and in one listening.

2071
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,360
Speaker 3: But indy, Ah. The worst part about this is Kirby Smart.

2072
01:39:51,160 --> 01:39:54,120
Speaker 3: Part of his defense of this, or his saying that

2073
01:39:54,160 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 3: this is he's made a comment about how how it

2074
01:39:58,840 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 3: must be because the players are d are driving fast

2075
01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 3: cars now because of NIL. They're getting better cars now,

2076
01:40:05,439 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 3: so therefore they're more tempted to drive fast. Yet, of course,

2077
01:40:09,800 --> 01:40:14,599
Speaker 3: plenty of other teams have players with NIL deals, players

2078
01:40:14,600 --> 01:40:17,040
Speaker 3: who drive fast cars and don't have the same issues

2079
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:21,000
Speaker 3: that Kirby Smart has within his program. It's a culture

2080
01:40:21,040 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 3: problem there now. Of course, when you win, it gets excused. Right,

2081
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 3: we're winning, it's excused, no one gets in trouble. But

2082
01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:33,920
Speaker 3: there's many, many instances where players are driving too fast,

2083
01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,960
Speaker 3: they're driving recklessly. Unfortunately, there was a loss of life

2084
01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 3: in one instance, and it continues to be a problem

2085
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 3: in Georgia.

2086
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:46,520
Speaker 2: And the answer he gave, as you mentioned, is ridiculous.

2087
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:48,880
Speaker 2: But he went one step further on courting Kirby smart

2088
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:52,120
Speaker 2: right now he says, he's what he says. I don't

2089
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:55,800
Speaker 2: know if we can ever eradicate speeding. I don't know

2090
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,240
Speaker 2: if that's possible, but I'm gonna go on a damn

2091
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 2: shure try because I don't think that's what we're doing

2092
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:04,000
Speaker 2: right now has not been effective enough. Basically, he's given up.

2093
01:41:04,200 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 2: He's throwing his hands up there.

2094
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,439
Speaker 3: So here's what I can't do it, and here's how

2095
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:11,559
Speaker 3: you do it. You know, hey, next person who gets

2096
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 3: a reckless driving is off the team for six months.

2097
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:18,120
Speaker 3: It's not playing this season. Now. The problem with that

2098
01:41:19,040 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 3: is that if you do that, if you do that,

2099
01:41:22,280 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 3: players will transfer. So that's your choice, right, do I

2100
01:41:25,080 --> 01:41:29,080
Speaker 3: have a program where we don't have players who continue

2101
01:41:29,120 --> 01:41:30,920
Speaker 3: to get in trouble for going too fast in their

2102
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:36,120
Speaker 3: cars or or do you have a program that's just

2103
01:41:36,120 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 3: gonna win a lot. And I don't care about that,

2104
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:39,719
Speaker 3: but those are two choices.

2105
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, right, And I'm sure the athletic they

2106
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:45,200
Speaker 2: are doing the president feel the same way, like they'll

2107
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:47,679
Speaker 2: turn it back on the speeding as long as he wins.

2108
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 3: That's that's generally how it works, right.

2109
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:55,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. But there's one more thing. The Atlanta Journal Constitution

2110
01:41:55,600 --> 01:42:00,200
Speaker 2: newspaper reported that get this, eleven players in Smart seven

2111
01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 2: seasons remain with the program. Get this if the women

2112
01:42:04,320 --> 01:42:08,400
Speaker 2: had alleged abuse to police or the university. One defensive

2113
01:42:08,439 --> 01:42:11,920
Speaker 2: tackle Jamal Jarrett, a sixteen year old at the time,

2114
01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:15,680
Speaker 2: was investigated for sexual assault during a twenty twenty two

2115
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:19,320
Speaker 2: official visit, but police did not charge him. Smart City

2116
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,839
Speaker 2: considered not signing Jarrett if he was to be charged,

2117
01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:23,960
Speaker 2: but he wasn't. He's going to begin his first full

2118
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 2: season at Georgia this fall, So that's the way it goes.

2119
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,519
Speaker 3: YEA. In this specific instance, I have not read the

2120
01:42:30,560 --> 01:42:33,600
Speaker 3: report on this, and I've said this a lot on

2121
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 3: the NFL side that I am generally of the opinion

2122
01:42:38,600 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 3: the NFL over punishes their players for crimes that have

2123
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 3: not actually been committed, right, right, And so I can't

2124
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:49,080
Speaker 3: say that and then also say, well, this recruit was

2125
01:42:49,080 --> 01:42:51,600
Speaker 3: in charge with a crime, he can still be suspended.

2126
01:42:52,640 --> 01:42:55,880
Speaker 3: Now again, you can make the case I haven't read

2127
01:42:55,880 --> 01:42:59,120
Speaker 3: the report. This all just speculation that maybe he wasn't

2128
01:42:59,160 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 3: charged because he was the Georgia recruit. I don't know.

2129
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 3: I don't know that, right, So I don't know the report,

2130
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 3: just that that's That's the only way I would change

2131
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:07,800
Speaker 3: my opinion on this, right is if if I if

2132
01:43:07,800 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 3: that came out that that he wasn't, you know, wasn't

2133
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,280
Speaker 3: arrested or wasn't at all given a charge because of that.

2134
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 3: And of course many times we know that charges are

2135
01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 3: not brought when there actually is a case of sexual assault.

2136
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:22,439
Speaker 3: But I can't say the NFL punished just too harshly

2137
01:43:23,000 --> 01:43:26,120
Speaker 3: without you know, without charges. And then also they say

2138
01:43:26,120 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 3: that Curvey Smart's wrong in this instance too, if no

2139
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:32,200
Speaker 3: charges were were filed. I get that. He says, okay,

2140
01:43:32,200 --> 01:43:36,000
Speaker 3: well no charges are filed, come on in right. I

2141
01:43:36,040 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 3: get that logic, because I believe that's the way the

2142
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,519
Speaker 3: NFL should do things. A lot of times as well.

2143
01:43:41,080 --> 01:43:43,599
Speaker 2: Can we assume and I know what the word assume

2144
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:46,280
Speaker 2: means can we assume that there were no charges simply

2145
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:49,080
Speaker 2: because when you were a small town and the college rules,

2146
01:43:49,080 --> 01:43:52,360
Speaker 2: the rules, the roost that an Athens George sure was

2147
01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 2: a good chance that the copp that is a fan

2148
01:43:56,080 --> 01:43:56,840
Speaker 2: of the judge of.

2149
01:43:57,560 --> 01:44:00,040
Speaker 3: So that's the hard part here, right, is that I

2150
01:44:00,400 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 3: mentioned that as well as we don't know that, right.

2151
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 3: Obviously my opinion on this would change very drastically if

2152
01:44:04,400 --> 01:44:09,840
Speaker 3: that was the case. But that's all the information we have, right,

2153
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:12,280
Speaker 3: Like I don't we don't have anymore if the police

2154
01:44:12,600 --> 01:44:15,040
Speaker 3: again don't always get things correct. This is not a

2155
01:44:15,080 --> 01:44:17,800
Speaker 3: pro like everything the police say is exactly how it went.

2156
01:44:17,880 --> 01:44:19,960
Speaker 3: We know many times that that's not the way it

2157
01:44:20,040 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 3: is when body camera footage comes out. But you know,

2158
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 3: if if there's no charges brought, I don't know what

2159
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:29,320
Speaker 3: Kirby Smart's supposed to do other than let him come

2160
01:44:29,360 --> 01:44:30,440
Speaker 3: and be part of the program.

2161
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,040
Speaker 2: And you know, as well as anybody else that usually

2162
01:44:33,080 --> 01:44:36,479
Speaker 2: in a college town that cops kind a little more

2163
01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:40,640
Speaker 2: lenient to the coach. Yes, fans, I mean what was

2164
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:42,519
Speaker 2: it like for the organ I mean, I I don't know, I.

2165
01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:45,000
Speaker 3: Don't I don't remember. No one got in trouble was.

2166
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,080
Speaker 3: I don't know anyone that even ran into the police

2167
01:44:48,479 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 3: also run in circles where people were getting in trouble anyway,

2168
01:44:51,320 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 3: So you're it's I was running. It's not like I

2169
01:44:53,600 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 3: had a bunch of offensive line buddies that were running a

2170
01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:58,360
Speaker 3: foul of the law. Having the you'll have to be

2171
01:44:58,360 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 3: bailed out because they play football organ.

2172
01:45:00,560 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 2: Right, but there's a good chance, like you know, look

2173
01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:05,599
Speaker 2: Ohio State and Columbus, those cops they'll turn their back.

2174
01:45:05,840 --> 01:45:13,560
Speaker 2: They didn't. It's almost though, but Ohio State rules it thee.

2175
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:18,599
Speaker 3: That's just a giant city. I would say that it's

2176
01:45:18,640 --> 01:45:20,480
Speaker 3: more about these small college towns.

2177
01:45:20,240 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 2: Right yeah, Iowa, Iowa, Oklahoma State and still Water, things

2178
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,679
Speaker 2: like that. I mean, that's what happens. I mean, it's

2179
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 2: it's terrible, but it is. But again, I mean, I

2180
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:31,760
Speaker 2: would have to think that he would be on the

2181
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:35,240
Speaker 2: hot seat basically until about Kirby Smart. Now, if he

2182
01:45:35,360 --> 01:45:38,719
Speaker 2: was losing, you know what, all this huge, he'd begne

2183
01:45:38,760 --> 01:45:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean and Pa Fitzgerald at Northwestern instead of being

2184
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:46,320
Speaker 2: one and eleven last year. If he was eleven and

2185
01:45:46,400 --> 01:45:48,800
Speaker 2: one they turned that back on the hazing, he'd still

2186
01:45:48,800 --> 01:45:53,080
Speaker 2: be coaching Northwestern probably probably, Yeah, that's fair. And he

2187
01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,599
Speaker 2: was a favorite Sun he played there. Not only did

2188
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:57,800
Speaker 2: he coach Rull those years he played at Northwestern.

2189
01:45:58,200 --> 01:45:59,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so who knows.

2190
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 2: I think it's crazy, but that's just the way. That's

2191
01:46:03,000 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 2: the way it is. That's the way the world is.

2192
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:06,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't change it. You can't change it.

2193
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,920
Speaker 2: Just just the way it is not completely correct, but

2194
01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 2: that's the way it is. Jeff Schwartz, Andy Furman, Fox

2223
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:41,840

2224
01:47:42,000 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 7: six back to twenty three out of respect for the

2225

Speaker 7: late Bill Russell, who also wore number six. Fellas all yours.

2235
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 2: your favorite league, mister Schwartz, Lebron James just at Isaac

2236
01:48:17,840 --> 01:48:21,120
Speaker 2: State's changing his number back to twenty three from six. Look,

2237
01:48:21,439 --> 01:48:24,080
Speaker 2: I gotta believe, and maybe I'm a skeptical, but he's

2238
01:48:24,160 --> 01:48:26,840
Speaker 2: changing it because he wants to sell more jerseys. You know.

2239
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:29,360
Speaker 2: Don't change it back with Bill Russell because Russell died

2240
01:48:29,400 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 2: a year ago, and you're going to change it back

2241
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:33,519
Speaker 2: to to twenty three a year ago, you know. Now

2242
01:48:33,520 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 2: you're going back to twenty three. Now, I don't get it.

2243
01:48:35,800 --> 01:48:36,760
Speaker 2: I really don't.

2244
01:48:37,200 --> 01:48:40,639
Speaker 3: The NFL, when you change your number, makes you buy

2245
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:44,599
Speaker 3: as a player. All the unsold jerseys with your old

2246
01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 3: number on it. So that's the case for Lebron. He

2247
01:48:47,280 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 3: ain't making much money.

2248
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right about that. Okay. Now the sport that

2249
01:48:52,200 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 2: you love cricket cricket, and there's going to be an

2250
01:48:55,920 --> 01:48:59,560
Speaker 2: all new professional cricket league in the United States, the

2251
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:03,160
Speaker 2: end LC Major League Cricket. How do you like that?

2252
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:05,479
Speaker 2: I bet you love this. You love cricket.

2253
01:49:06,040 --> 01:49:09,479
Speaker 3: As I said earlier with regards to UFC and MMA,

2254
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 3: I don't have the mental capacity to any more sports.

2255
01:49:14,040 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 3: To my life, already watched too much sports. So I

2256
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 3: am not going to pay attention to Major League Cricket

2257
01:49:20,800 --> 01:49:22,960
Speaker 3: at all. If you're not if you're not mentioned, I

2258
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:24,080
Speaker 3: would even know it existed.

2259
01:49:24,560 --> 01:49:26,160
Speaker 2: Well I didn't know it. I read it the other day,

2260
01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:27,960
Speaker 2: but I figured you'd be right on top of this.

2261
01:49:28,040 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 2: Now they already have a partnership with a bound and

2262
01:49:32,000 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 2: premium NRI membership app from the Times of India group.

2263
01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 2: Now the bad news is there is no team in Charlotte.

2264
01:49:39,040 --> 01:49:42,360
Speaker 3: Now I might gamble on it, though, so I.

2265
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 2: Think you will.

2266
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 3: All right.

2267
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 2: Now, there are six teams in the league, Seattle, New York, Texas, Washington,

2268
01:49:50,680 --> 01:49:54,599
Speaker 2: San Francisco, in LA. All right, so, I mean, I'm

2269
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 2: sure it'll be a TV contract somewhere somehow, and the

2270
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 2: league is gonna have a round robin format, top four

2271
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:06,280
Speaker 2: teams participating in a series of playoff games and a

2272
01:50:06,320 --> 01:50:10,320

01:50:23,240 --> 01:50:24,599
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna make a lot of money,

2279
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:26,000
Speaker 2: but they need to fill time. I like to know

Speaker 3: and I'm flying Hawaii Saturday and I'm there for a week.

2313
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 2: Okay, last question before we roll along here. These media

2314
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 2: days are great, but what exactly do you take away

2315
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:11,520
Speaker 2: for the media days? Nothing is really said, nothing's.

2316
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:15,640
Speaker 3: Shaking hands, all right. So like for me as a

2317
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 3: media member, it's a networking with the coaches day, right,

2318
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,639
Speaker 3: So I'm not actually getting anything like we're gonna interview

2319
01:52:23,840 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 3: every coach for ten minutes and every player for ten minutes,

2320
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:31,080
Speaker 3: and we're not getting like any earth shattering information, right.

2321
01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:33,640
Speaker 3: But what we're doing is we're if you're a you

2322
01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 3: a fan of a school, we're getting a hype for

2323
01:52:35,560 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 3: the season. Like it's all about hype, right, it's getting

2324
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,960
Speaker 3: you excited for the season as a fan. For us

2325
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:41,800
Speaker 3: as media members, it's a chance to talk to the

2326
01:52:41,800 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 3: coaches to just pick their breaks. And there's obviously there's

2327
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 3: some off the record opportunities we have with the coaches

2328
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 3: as well, So it's all that opportunity for us. It starts,

2329
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 3: you know, it sounds like the start of the season,

2330
01:52:52,560 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 3: like you start feeling football's coming. So it's a lot

2331
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:57,839
Speaker 3: of fun. It's in Vegas this year for PAC twelve,

2332
01:52:59,280 --> 01:53:01,879
Speaker 3: and a good opportunit just again to see coaches, see players.

2333
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:03,479
Speaker 3: You'll put a name, you know, we interviewed these players

2334
01:53:03,479 --> 01:53:05,600
Speaker 3: throughout the season too, so it's good to put our

2335
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 3: you know, a face a face to the name.

2336
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:09,560
Speaker 2: And schmoves a little bit with the commissioner of the

2337
01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:10,040
Speaker 2: league too.

2338
01:53:10,040 --> 01:53:12,320
Speaker 3: He wanted, we will probably not talk to We don't

2339
01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 3: talk to to George that much, but we had we

2340
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:18,759
Speaker 3: we we can. But you just you know, I spend

2341
01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 3: more time with the coaches, honestly.

2342
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:22,840
Speaker 2: All right. And the coaches are pretty open. I mean

2343
01:53:22,880 --> 01:53:24,120
Speaker 2: they do one on one.

2344
01:53:24,120 --> 01:53:25,880
Speaker 3: Well, I know. I mean, like I know, I played

2345
01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:27,400

Speaker 3: Lane at Oregon. You know, I start you start knowing

2347
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:32,280
Speaker 3: these like Hyle Whittingham. I've talked to him a bunch

2348
01:53:32,320 --> 01:53:34,879
Speaker 3: at Utah. His his son's a coach with the Chiefs.

2349
01:53:34,880 --> 01:53:37,599
Speaker 3: Like you start knowing a lot of these coaches because

2350
01:53:37,600 --> 01:53:40,000
Speaker 3: you spend so much time. Uh you know, I'm been

Speaker 3: Right, there's nothing I will get that will change my

2370
01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:20,840

2378
01:54:41,320 --> 01:54:42,840
Speaker 2: minutes from now, that will be nine am on the

Speaker 2: East coast. Mike Harmon and Dan Byer, what a duoh

2380
01:54:46,160 --> 01:54:48,880
Speaker 2: Harmon and Bayer. But right now, there's time for the

2381
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:50,440
Speaker 2: blame games. So let's know it.

2382
01:54:50,680 --> 01:54:54,680
Speaker 1: You ruin me, it's all your fault. It's your fault.

2383
01:54:54,800 --> 01:55:01,760
Speaker 2: What is all your fault? Maybe it's everyone's spout. Who

2384
01:55:02,160 --> 01:55:03,000
Speaker 2: see the liar?

2385
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:05,800
Speaker 1: That's why there's the blame game, the blame game. Let's

2386
01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 1: figure out who to blame.

2387
01:55:08,320 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 2: All right, it's the blame game. And the man in

2388
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 2: charge blame him, the big ee Ethan Miller. What's going on?

2389
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:16,280
Speaker 4: Hey guys? All right, here we go a lot the

2390
01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:19,720
Speaker 4: blame for this, uh few minutes we have you guys

2391
01:55:19,720 --> 01:55:24,120
Speaker 4: are talking about the NIL deals and you know, people

2392
01:55:24,160 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 4: are starting to take advantage of these young athletes, you know,

2393
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:30,880
Speaker 4: seventeen eighteen year olds or whatever. Who's the blame and

2394
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:32,640
Speaker 4: how do we fix this issue?

2395
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:36,880
Speaker 3: The blame is the n double A for pretending that

2396
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:40,040
Speaker 3: this basically was never going to happen and having nothing

2397
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 3: in place to regulate any of this. And I would

2398
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:44,920
Speaker 3: argue it should not be regular anyways, because it's the

2399
01:55:44,960 --> 01:55:49,040
Speaker 3: free market. But it's double a. You know.

2400
01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:52,400
Speaker 2: Jeff Schwartz says something very very interesting early on. He

2401
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:54,440
Speaker 2: always does. And we talked about the Northwestern thing, and

2402
01:55:54,440 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 2: they said they couldn't handle crisis management. They could because

2403
01:55:57,960 --> 01:56:00,880
Speaker 2: they goofed up on the thing when they had Fitzpatrick

2404
01:56:00,960 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 2: Buffitzgerald a two week a suspension, then they finally fired him. Okay,

2405
01:56:05,800 --> 01:56:08,400
Speaker 2: the NCAA is no better if they put this rule

2406
01:56:08,440 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 2: in place and they had no foresight as to what's

2407
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 2: gonna happen. It's out of control right now, it really is.

2408
01:56:13,840 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 2: And these kids, some of these kids are making more

2409
01:56:16,680 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 2: of the coaches. It's they got to do. So they

2410
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 2: got to reel it in, just a little bit, reel

2411
01:56:21,040 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 2: it in.

2412
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,600
Speaker 4: All right, they're starting to say AI robots may call

2413
01:56:25,680 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 4: balls and strikes by year twenty thirty in the MLB.

2414
01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:36,760
Speaker 4: Besides the umps being horrible sometimes, who's the blame for

2415
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:37,879
Speaker 4: this judgment?

2416
01:56:37,920 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 3: Call? Uh tenure? If they just got rid of the

2417
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:42,920
Speaker 3: bad umpires that were bad, we won't have this problem.

2418
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:45,520
Speaker 3: Who's the entry intoes You've done this for fifteen twenty

2419
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 3: thirty years. You're terrible. Bye bye. It wouldn't be a problem.

2420
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:49,840
Speaker 3: But they keep these bad umpires around.

2421
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:53,520
Speaker 2: Well. I think the problem is also like saving money.

2422
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:55,280
Speaker 2: We talked about it early on. The commissioner did the

2423
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:57,920
Speaker 2: commission's job. Oh, it's not saving much money. They're not

2424
01:56:57,920 --> 01:57:00,280
Speaker 2: paying onpires a ton of money. Man, Well there's a

2425
01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 2: ton of bump. I mean they're making a buck and

2426
01:57:01,960 --> 01:57:04,600
Speaker 2: a half a year. I'm sure hundred and fifty thousand. Still,

2427
01:57:04,760 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 2: if you could save that money, you know, and they

2428
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:09,200
Speaker 2: will remember, the job of the commissioner is not to

2429
01:57:09,200 --> 01:57:11,879
Speaker 2: make the game better, is to bring in revenue streams.

2430
01:57:12,040 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 2: That's what they do. That's what commissioners do in sports.

2431
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:16,400
Speaker 2: That's why Goodell has been around so long. Not a

2432
01:57:16,400 --> 01:57:19,480
Speaker 2: great commissioner, but he's a great streaming guy, bringing them

2433
01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:21,880
Speaker 2: money from cable TV, whatever it may be. So if

2434
01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:24,080
Speaker 2: they get rid of the umpires and get these AI

2435
01:57:24,240 --> 01:57:26,880
Speaker 2: robarts free, you know, I mean, I don't think there

2436
01:57:26,920 --> 01:57:28,480
Speaker 2: was good a job as the guys. But you know,

2437
01:57:28,560 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 2: we'll see what the union does, how this goes down

2438
01:57:31,080 --> 01:57:33,280
Speaker 2: the road in the fighting. But you know, really it's

2439
01:57:33,320 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 2: all about money. That's what it's all about.

2440
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:36,520
Speaker 3: About money.

2441
01:57:36,800 --> 01:57:41,400
Speaker 4: Yes, speaking of unions, there's a little off track of sports,

2442
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:44,200
Speaker 4: but recently the Writers Guild and SAG went on strike.

2443
01:57:44,280 --> 01:57:46,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys really care. But if

2444
01:57:46,280 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 4: you do, or do you don't, who do you think

2445
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:49,280
Speaker 4: is to blame for.

2446
01:57:49,280 --> 01:57:52,040
Speaker 2: This that affects you? You're a performer, I saw that.

2447
01:57:52,440 --> 01:57:54,960
Speaker 3: I saw that comment. I don't know who made executive

2448
01:57:54,960 --> 01:57:57,040
Speaker 3: that was like, yeah, we'll just wag them out. I

2449
01:57:57,040 --> 01:58:00,440
Speaker 3: can't afford to rent anymore. Yeah, I'm I'm on the

2450
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:03,560
Speaker 3: side of the strikers like that. That was a terrible

2451
01:58:03,600 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 3: thing I read like. I was like, come on, and

2452
01:58:05,280 --> 01:58:08,440
Speaker 3: I've been obviously on the labor side. You know, I've

2453
01:58:08,480 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 3: been a laborer, right, I've been in a union. Like

2454
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:13,240
Speaker 3: I am pro labor.

2455
01:58:14,800 --> 01:58:17,960
Speaker 2: Look, I will tell you this much. I mean, I'm

2456
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:20,080
Speaker 2: with them all the way because I think their jobs

2457
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:22,640
Speaker 2: can be replaced by AI robots. There's no doubt about that.

2458
01:58:23,080 --> 01:58:26,080
Speaker 2: And look, look how valuable they are. I mean, these

2459
01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:29,000
Speaker 2: late night shows are being crippled without the writers. So

2460
01:58:29,200 --> 01:58:31,040
Speaker 2: eventually they're going to give in and they're going to

2461
01:58:31,080 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 2: get what they want. And now we have a strike

2462
01:58:33,040 --> 01:58:35,880
Speaker 2: looming down the corner with the UPS people, and that's

2463
01:58:35,880 --> 01:58:39,080
Speaker 2: going to cause billions upon billions if it lasts at

2464
01:58:39,200 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 2: least a week. So you know, I'm with you, Jeff.

2465
01:58:41,920 --> 01:58:44,240
Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm pro union all the time, but

2466
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:46,720
Speaker 2: right now I am. And these people need to get

2467
01:58:46,720 --> 01:58:48,440
Speaker 2: what they want. And there's a lot of actors and

2468
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 2: actresses supporting them. They crossing the pict line and supporting them,

2469
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:53,960
Speaker 2: which shows how important they are.

2470
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 3: Well now, obviously because the actor. I think the actors

2471
01:58:56,560 --> 01:58:58,520
Speaker 3: went on a strike because of this, right, because they

2472
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 3: weren't paying the writers. Yeah.

2473
01:59:01,240 --> 01:59:01,760
Speaker 2: Crazy.

2474
01:59:01,960 --> 01:59:06,720
Speaker 4: Next, the MMB All Star Game all week, you know,

2475
01:59:06,720 --> 01:59:09,760
Speaker 4: people were talking about how I was subpar because you know,

2476
01:59:09,960 --> 01:59:13,040
Speaker 4: they didn't wear their jerseys and you know other things.

2477
01:59:13,080 --> 01:59:16,000
Speaker 4: But who's to blame for the you know, the lack

2478
01:59:16,040 --> 01:59:18,240
Speaker 4: of the event. If you may say.

2479
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:25,360
Speaker 3: Blame, I mean how culture, like society, I don't know

2480
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:27,040
Speaker 3: if there's I don't think baseball is to actually don't

2481
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:28,880
Speaker 3: think baseball's to blame for this this. I like blaming

2482
01:59:28,920 --> 01:59:31,520
Speaker 3: baseball for a lot of things, but I don't think, actually, Andy,

2483
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:33,440
Speaker 3: this is one of them where baseball's a fault here.

2484
01:59:34,440 --> 01:59:37,000
Speaker 2: You know, I just don't understand why the ratings have

2485
01:59:37,040 --> 01:59:41,160
Speaker 2: gone downhill every single year on TV. It seems to

2486
01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 2: be an exciting event when you watch it on TV.

2487
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 2: There's this stands a.

2488
01:59:44,560 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 3: Packed I think the reason I said, like you just

2489
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:50,480
Speaker 3: there's so much inventory. Now doesn't feel special to watch

2490
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 3: it anymore.

2491
01:59:51,800 --> 01:59:54,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think the fact that there's no more

2492
01:59:54,800 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 2: coming out of the closet. What do I mean by that?

2493
01:59:56,680 --> 01:59:59,120
Speaker 2: A lot of times before the interleague play is the

2494
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:01,080
Speaker 2: first time if you live than a National League city

2495
02:00:01,080 --> 02:00:03,160
Speaker 2: you'll see an American League player. But in the league

2496
02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:05,880
Speaker 2: play right now, that mystery is gone correct, And I

2497
02:00:05,880 --> 02:00:08,200
Speaker 2: think the mystery was a big deal. That was a

2498
02:00:08,240 --> 02:00:09,480
Speaker 2: big deal in the Go Star game.

2499
02:00:09,800 --> 02:00:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was a huge deal.

2500
02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:18,240
Speaker 4: Who is to blame for our Jewish heritage making me

2501
02:00:18,360 --> 02:00:22,480
Speaker 4: have no hair right now? Losing all my hair?

2502
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Fellas, that's a chromosome.

2503
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:25,440
Speaker 4: I wear hats all around now.

2504
02:00:25,480 --> 02:00:28,520
Speaker 3: Should ask what's his face? Maybe the one who's able

2505
02:00:28,560 --> 02:00:32,600
Speaker 3: to tell us that the there's another station for that everyone,

2506
02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:34,160
Speaker 3: I have no idea.

2507
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 2: There you go, that's weak. Get a hat, there you go.
