00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got great whites. Is it a different type

46
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: of dolphin? Like, is it of cold water?

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 7: I don't know. You got work. You got to ask flipper.

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 7: I don't know, dang flipper. I'd be down where I

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 7: can see where I'm swimming. I go down to the Caribbean.

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 7: As for the aspects, the warmer parts.

51
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 1: But some people do like being you know, up north

52
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: and well.

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Rodgers has come to the North, the

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 5: AFC North. He's landed down and in Pittsburgh. He's with

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Uh, finally agreeing to a deal. I

56
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 5: believe it's a one year deal. And do I have

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 5: that right? I don't know that they've Uh, I don't

58
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 5: know that they have disclosed the details on the contract,

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 5: but it does seem like it's a one year deal.

60
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 5: So now finally the deal gets done, where all of

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 5: the speculation for so long now comes to an end.

62
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: It is a reality. Aaron Rodgers is.

63
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 5: Now a Pittsburgh Steeler, just in time ahead of the

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 5: mandatory work that they're going to do next week. How

65
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 5: you guys feel your what's your what's your response to it?

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 5: What is your reaction to Aaron Rodgers?

67
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: It was something that I believe all people that follow

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: the NFL expected to happen. It was a matter of

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 3: when is this gonna happen. How long is this gonna

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: drag out? It's an upgrade for the Pittsburgh Stevens. Their

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: their quarterback position is in a better position with Aaron

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 3: Rodgers than without them. Now, does it make them super

73
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: Bowl contenders? In my eyes, absolutely not. It makes a

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: better team. And when I said makes him a better team,

75
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: it's it's Aaron Rodgers that we used to see and

76
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: we hadn't seen him in a while. But every time

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: I see a rod throw that ball, I'm like, man, yeah,

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: it's gonna be the game where he recaptures his old

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 3: glory because this last year in Green Bay we didn't

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: see it. Obviously, he got hurt his first year in

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 3: New York and then we didn't see it last year

82
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: in New York.

83
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: And so can he become that Aaron Rodgers of old.

84
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 3: But it makes the Pittsburgh Seas, at least I believe

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: it does a better team, but super Bowl contenders and

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 3: move the needle and put them up there with those

87
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: teams with the Kansas City Chiefs, with the Baltimore Ravens,

88
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: with the Buffalo Bills.

89
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 6: I can't say that.

90
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: I can't say that Mason Rudolph has a winning record

91
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 3: in the regular season. He's eight and four eight four

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 3: and one as a starter in Pittsburgh. So I can't

93
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: see an Aaron Rodgers being much better than that. He

94
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: couldn't do that with the Jets, and those teams were very,

95
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: very comparable.

96
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just I have to agree with TJ.

97
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, we don't really consider what you

98
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 7: consider Anon Rodgers to be the elite quarterback that he was,

99
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 7: you know, seven eight years ago. I don't think so.

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 7: I think this, you know, gives the Pittsburgh Steelers in

101
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 7: Mike Tomin another season to fight and to uh, you know,

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 7: not never not have a losing season. And you know,

103
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 7: I think what he's the probably he is the third

104
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 7: best quarterback in this division, behind you know, Jorge Burrow

105
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 7: and Lamar Jackson. You know, I just think the Steelers

106
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 7: all are in that third place position unless something you know,

107
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 7: drastically changes in the division with the injury or whatever

108
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 7: the case may be. But you know, they add Darius

109
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 7: Slay now dj DK mex cav has a quarterback that

110
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 7: can get him the football, so I think they'll have

111
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 7: a better passing game. You know, I still believe that

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 7: Mike Mike Tomlin still wants to win the football regardless.

113
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 7: That's just the history of the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it

114
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 7: does give them up with at the position other than

115
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 7: Mason Rudolph, you know, being the quarterback in the OTA's

116
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 7: and you know, I just want to know why it

117
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 7: takes so long? What was Aaron thinking over these last

118
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 7: few months to make the decision and to be the

119
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 7: quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It gives them time to

120
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 7: learn the offense, and I think that they will be

121
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 7: better offensively, but you know, you really don't expect them

122
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 7: really to compete in the AFC North, to win the champion,

123
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 7: to win that division and get to the playoffs.

124
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 5: Am I wrong for and you guys tell me, because

125
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 5: y'all always do let me know what I'm wrong? Am

126
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 5: I wrong for thinking that the way that has been handled,

127
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: the way the quarterback situation was maybe perceivably handled last

128
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 5: year with Fields and Wilson, it comes across to me

129
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: as mismanagement. It doesn't come across to me as decisive.

130
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 5: It doesn't come across to me as this is definitively

131
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: taking this Pittsburgh Steelers team in the right direction. And

132
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 5: if that's the way it's being perceived, especially the way

133
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: it ended with Russ and with Justin Fields, with both

134
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 5: of them being gone, not one. You brought in two

135
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 5: former starters from two different teams, and both of them

136
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: are gone after one season. You're waiting for Aaron Rodgers

137
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,679
Speaker 5: to come in and be a part of your team.

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Fellas.

139
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: I feel like, more than anything else, this has created

140
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 5: more of a pressure pack situation for Mike Tomlin to

141
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 5: have to manage because there's the idea of how do

142
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 5: you handle things with Aaron Rodgers? How do you handle

143
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 5: things with your team? Because the Steelers, they come across

144
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 5: to me as a team that is, you know, they

145
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 5: have leaders that are on the team. You know the

146
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 5: Cam Haywards and you know the other guys.

147
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: TJ.

148
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 5: Watt, he's trying to get his contract situation taken care of.

149
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 5: It just comes across to me as a player driven

150
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 5: team in a lot of ways, I just feel like

151
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 5: there's a lot to be managed here and the expectation

152
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 5: of how it's been handled is that you have to

153
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 5: have success with Aaron Rodgers. There is no there is

154
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: no you know, grace period, There is no Okay, we

155
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 5: get it. Maybe next year with Aaron Rodgers. I don't

156
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: feel like any of that exists here. I feel like

157
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 5: it's it's results or busts. And how how bust is that?

158
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 6: Is?

159
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 5: That clear out the coaching staff? Is that clear out

160
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 5: the GM? How big of a move is? This is

161
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 5: what I'm left feeling. What type of implications does it

162
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 5: have in making this move in the way and the

163
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: manner in which they've done it.

164
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 6: It's a big name move, obviously we know that.

165
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: Going back to last year last season with the Justin

166
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Fields Russell Wilson situation, it almost seemed to me that

167
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin told Russell Wilson he was going to be

168
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: the starter, because the way he removed Justin Fields out

169
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 3: the starting lineup was strange to me. Coaches normally don't

170
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 3: do that. Justin Fields had been playing solid, but the

171
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: most important thing they were winning. They were winning, and

172
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: a lot of times the starter gets hurt, backup comes in.

173
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: If they're winning, the coach is not gonna make a change.

174
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin made a change. He felt like Russell Wilson

175
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: was just gonna be that much better or he was

176
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: a man of his word. And that's what I've believe

177
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: it was. He was a man of his word. Tod Russell,

178
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: he was going to be the starter when he got healthy.

179
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: He was a starter. And that may have caused a

180
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: little riff within a locker room, and not a riff,

181
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: just an unspoken like what is he doing type of thing,

182
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: because everybody don't agree with that, especially when you're winning games.

183
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,439
Speaker 3: There won't be this year. That won't be the case.

184
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is going to be the unquestioned starter unless

185
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 3: he gets hurt or he just flats flat out plays terrible.

186
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't envision that taking place. But I'll say this,

187
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: if Aaron Rodgers does play really well in Pittsburgh, man,

188
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: what does it say about the coaches?

189
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 6: The Jets had laste on off of them?

190
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 3: Blues shit he even be I'm telling you, if he

191
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: plays well in Pittsburgh, we need to give Mike Tomlin

192
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: and Arthur Smith great credit and them coaches, and the

193
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 3: Jets just retire that was coaching him last year. Just

194
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 3: retire them offensive coaches retire would.

195
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 6: Have just already have a new coaching staff.

196
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: Well, now i'm them coaches, that them coaches? Where else

197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 3: them coaches coaching last year?

198
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 7: Exactly? Yeah, I think he's gonna play well. I don't

199
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 7: think he's just going to go out then just you know,

200
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 7: stink it up. I mean, the guy has seen basically

201
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 7: everything that a quarterback and see from a coverage standpoint,

202
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 7: and you know he has he has some good weapons

203
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 7: out there to be able to go out and you know,

204
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 7: play a quality game of football.

205
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 6: Uh.

206
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 7: You know, the Stillers got off too a three and

207
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 7: o start last year and they end up losing in

208
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 7: a row and then winning another three straight. So with

209
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 7: that roster that they had last year, if the Stellers

210
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 7: can get off through a three old start this year,

211
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 7: I think that's a you know, uh, you know, a

212
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 7: great chance that they can you know, get into the playoffs.

213
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 7: But it's just such a tough division over there with

214
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 7: Baltimore and then Cincinnati moving forward, and I don't think

215
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 7: that we've seen the best of Cincinnati yet. So so

216
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 7: you know, I think Aaronboder's going to go in and compete.

217
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin is going to have a plan for him. Obviously.

218
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 7: One of the reasons why I say that he's going

219
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 7: to go out and play a good brand of football

220
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 7: because you know, they're gonna run the football and they're

221
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 7: gonna hide him within the run game. He's not just

222
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 7: gonna go out there and get the shotgun like he

223
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 7: was here in New York Jets and throw the ball

224
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 7: fifty times a game. That's not gonna happen over there.

225
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 7: He's gonna manage the game. They're gonna run the ball

226
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 7: twenty twenty five times game. He's gonna throw the ball

227
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 7: maybe twenty five or thirty times a game. But that

228
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 7: just jumping in the shotgun and just turned it loose.

229
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 7: That's not going to be the style of playing Pittsburgh.

230
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 7: So that's why I expect him to go out and

231
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 7: pay and play a quality game of football.

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 5: Wow, we'll see how it all plays out. I think

233
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 5: that this is the stage has been set where it's

234
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 5: a big boom or bus proposition that now to me

235
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 5: exists in Pittsburgh. But hey, you know, you make big moves,

236
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 5: you look for big results, and you live with what

237
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: happens and deal with the consequences or you reap the

238
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 5: spoils of having success. I mean, I think that that's

239
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 5: really how it all works out, and that's why you

240
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 5: put the teams together and you coach them and you

241
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: do whatever it is you do with them. We'll see

242
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 5: how it all plays out. Uh yeah, let's keep talking

243
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 5: a little football too. By the way, coming up after

244
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:32,800

Speaker 5: the House settlement for colleges to be able to pay

246
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 5: their athletes?

247
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 6: Trash trash.

248
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,880

Speaker 5: Hitchman's ida already given you a precursor to how he

252
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 5: feels about it. We'll hear what Stretch Armstrong has to say,

269
00:14:54,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 5: colleges can now directly pay athletes. It was a I believe,

270
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: a two point eight billion dollar judgment and back damages

271
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 5: over the next ten years to athletes who competed in

272
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 5: college at any time from twenty sixteen through present day.

273
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 5: Moving forward, each school can pay its athletes up to

274
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 5: a certain limit. The annual cap is expected to start

275
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 5: at roughly twenty point five million per school in twenty

276
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 5: five twenty.

277
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: Six which is basically July first.

278
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 5: I believe that they can start paying the athletes directly

279
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 5: and increase every year during the decade long deal. These

280
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 5: new payments are in addition to scholarships and other benefits

281
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: that athletes already receive.

282
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: So there's that. There's the conversation.

283
00:15:53,560 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 5: Now of where is college athletics heading go ahead to you.

284
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: You had some strong opinions.

285
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 6: Unbelievable, man, this is unbelievable. Man.

286
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 3: This really bothers me because this is not just the

287
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 3: football team or the basketball team. This is the entirety

288
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 3: of the school and its sporting program. So twenty million

289
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: between the football team and basketball team, that's nothing. What

290
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: about everybody else? What about the baseball team? What about

291
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: the softball team? What about the women's basketball? Like twenty

292
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 3: million dollars amongst everybody, Like it is crazy, Like this

293
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: is what I don't like. NCAA president Charlie Baker resign.

294
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 3: He's like, these dudes are terrible. Oh, like they needed help.

295
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: I'm talking to Charlie Beaker because he's the president of

296
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 3: the NCUBA.

297
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 6: They needed help.

298
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 3: They wanted the schools to regain the power and the

299
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: control because it was unregulated. Well, it was unregulated because

300
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: for decades, the NCAA took advantage of us as players

301
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: for decades. Stuff your pockets. But I can't make a dollar.

302
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: As soon as I start making a dollar, now you

303
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: want it regulated.

304
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 5: The kids his his his, uh, his career as well.

305
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 5: I mean, you're going to spend the kid. The kid's

306
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 5: gonna get in some serious trouble doing the things that

307
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 5: you know.

308
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: Peter work was cost the Heisman Trophy because he got

309
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: some free clothes, Like, are you serious? Reggie Bush lost

310
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 3: his Heisman Trophy because he took impermissible being impermissible? Why

311
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 3: because those were the rules you said. But you making

312
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 3: a boatload of money. Now if you don't put if

313
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,239
Speaker 3: you're gonna put a cap on what the players can make,

314
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: why don't you put a cap on what the coaches

315
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 3: can make?

316
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 6: Also put a cap on that.

317
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 3: Since all your coaches that wanted it wanted it to

318
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 3: be regulated, put a cap on coaches pay. They don't

319
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: want to do that today because they've made million on

320
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 3: the backs of these kids. Now we'll see the Bamas

321
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 3: and the Georgia's get back to win the national championships.

322
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 3: Now they can't compete with these schools that can outpay them.

323
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 3: Now the Kirby Smarts is like, yeah, I got a

324
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 3: chance to win again. Like come on, man, Like I

325
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: don't like this, you guys. When I say you guys,

326
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: the NCAA and the people in power created this. Now

327
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: once it gets to this point, oh, we need help,

328
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: We need help. When the players were saying they need

329
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: to help because they felt they should have been paid.

330
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 3: We should have been paid, y'all didn't want help, then, Oh, Congress,

331
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: please save us. Like I don't like this because I

332
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 3: don't believe twenty million dollars is anywhere near the mount

333
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: per school that it should be. It should be close

334
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: to double that. You got dudes making three four five

335
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 3: million dollars one player just on the football team. That's

336
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 3: twenty five percent of what the budget is for one player.

337
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: Like to me, it's unfair. But what do I expect, man?

338
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 3: When you got people that have taken advantage of players

339
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 3: their entire lives continue to take advantage of them.

340
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 7: Now not surprising, man, It's just so much to unpack

341
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 7: with you know, all of these things through the n

342
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 7: C Double A and schools and the powerful conference, Big ten,

343
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 7: SEC ACC, Big twelve, like these schools are going to

344
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 7: be grandfather than like moving forward, What I want to ask,

345
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 7: you know, Brady Quinn and some of these other guys,

346
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 7: what about the independent schools? Do they have to opt

347
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 7: in or be a part of this whole settlement if

348
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 7: they're not in a conference. We don't know that. And

349
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 7: what it does is it levels the playing field to

350
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 7: what levels the playing field back to what it was

351
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 7: a few years ago. And I currently believe this is

352
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 7: one of the reasons why UH coach from Virginia and

353
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 7: and and and Nick Saban and all these guys while

354
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 7: they return and you know, uh, you know, uh, kudos

355
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 7: to uh the dabble Sweeney, to the world Kirby Smart

356
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 7: because these guys weren't taking guys out of the portal anyway.

357
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 7: So it was basically what what the n C Double

358
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 7: A is basically saying, we are going to eliminate the

359
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 7: pay for play and to these schools and the organizations

360
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 7: who have unlimited resources basically to make their teams, you know,

361
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 7: off of money. So the n C Double A has

362
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 7: taken they are slowly but surely regaining uh you know,

363
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 7: the lead of the n C Double A as far

364
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 7: as these teams and pay for play as it's moving forward.

365
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 7: But uh, what does it mean for like walk ons?

366
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 7: You can't even walk onto a football team. It's dumb, dumb,

367
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 7: dumb dumb. You know how many guys that I've played

368
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 7: with Matt Buttanti for one shout, I'm not Matt.

369
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: The experience, the experience of just being their friend, being

370
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 3: on the team, getting to know them to come like

371
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: what are they doing?

372
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 6: Man?

373
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 7: I've played with guys that have walked on to my

374
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 7: football team, uh in college and they were number one.

375
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 7: They were good. They were damn good football players, and

376
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 7: they were great people. And I can't even imagine not having,

377
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 7: you know, shared that college experience with some of the

378
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 7: guys that I know still to this day thirty years

379
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 7: later that were regular students and was able to walk

380
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 7: to the football team and it was embraced like they

381
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 7: were scholarship athletes. And now they want to take that

382
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 7: away from the guys that aren't able to get scholarships

383
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 7: that can add value to a program or to a

384
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 7: football team, because like TJ said, you want to past

385
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 7: your pockets.

386
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 5: I look at it like this, fellas. It's going to

387
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 5: take tremendous leadership at the school level.

388
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: I feel like for all the wow, well they're.

389
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 6: They're taking their leadership away from the school and.

390
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 5: With the money the schools being able to pay out

391
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 5: the money and having the budget. What I mean by

392
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 5: the leadership and the structure, it's going to take an

393
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: athletic department. To me and just how I interpret it,

394
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: it's going to take the athletic departments putting the right

395
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 5: people in place, which I'm curious as to how much

396
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 5: it will cost the schools to put the proper people

397
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 5: in place for the bigger sports basketball and football specifically.

398
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: You're going to need a GM.

399
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 5: You're going to need a CAP, a CAP person, a

400
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 5: CAP specialist, like you're going to need different people with

401
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: the expertise that come with what goes along with paying players,

402
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 5: Like this isn't just okay now you the school has

403
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 5: the ability to be able to pay these players. It's

404
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 5: going to be interesting to see who values what right

405
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 5: because you're talking about that that twenty million dollars and

406
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 5: as you mentioned TJ, all right, well if this kid

407
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 5: is over here making three million, four million dollars, how

408
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 5: does that work? And how does that work as it

409
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 5: applies to all the other schools, Like if a kid

410
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 5: is looking at this school versus another school, you know,

411
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 5: is there an established you know, honor system between the

412
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 5: schools where you know, this is the cap, this is

413
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 5: all we're going to and spend on football, This is

414
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 5: all we're going to spend on basketball. So that there

415
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 5: can be actually a real opportunity of parody and competitive

416
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 5: nature of what's going on. I don't there's so many

417
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 5: different things that have to align and line up, not

418
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 5: just with the school, but there's going to have to

419
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: be conversations amongst the schools as to how we're going

420
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 5: about paying these athletes.

421
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: Can we get a cap on a coach's ten million

422
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: salary for every university, for all the coaches?

423
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 6: How about that? How about that? You think they like that?

424
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 5: But even if you get a cap, but even if

425
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 5: I mean, coaches don't have caps in in the league,

426
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: they can pay whatever they want to pay.

427
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 6: No, no, no, But you don't no, no no. What

428
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 6: I'm saying is.

429
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: You can coach coaches what you want to pay them

430
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: in the.

431
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 6: League, and you can do it in college as well. Correct.

432
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 6: So my whole point is.

433
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 3: The salary cap that they're trying to implement and is

434
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: so bad that if they're gonna kept the players kept

435
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 3: the coaches salary, and let's see if they like that.

436
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 3: Let's see if they kept I don't feel like that

437
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: this is a problem for coaches. This is coaches are

438
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: the ones. The coaches are at the forefront of this.

439
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 3: That's why it's a problem with the coaches. The coaches.

440
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 3: The coaches are at the forefront of this. They don't

441
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 3: like the fact that the players are getting paid. They

442
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 3: don't like the fact that they had guys are entering

443
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 3: a portal because they can't afford the guy, Well take

444
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: a little pay cut, then you can't afford the guy.

445
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 3: So they what everybody assumes, Nick Saban retired because he

446
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: saw this comany he knew Bama didn't have the necessary

447
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: money to compete.

448
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 6: Is that is that not why people.

449
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Say he retired.

450
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 6: They had, Oh, they had the money, you know, under

451
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 6: the table. They listen under the table.

452
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: They had the money. Sec been paying people for years

453
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 3: under the table. But then when it now, when it became,

454
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: when it became free game, they didn't have the money.

455
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: They couldn't compete with the Texas, the A and m's,

456
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 3: the Texas tax and at the SMUs that's up and coming,

457
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 3: they couldn't compete with them. There domes, they couldn't compete

458
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 3: with them. So Nick Saban said, I'm gone. And that.

459
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 5: Don't feel like that's the main reason. That might be

460
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 5: part of it. But the playing field back to what

461
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 5: it used to be. But there's also ideas to.

462
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 6: The USC's U c l a's Uh.

463
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 7: Now they can go back to start and recruiting the

464
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 7: guys that they want and not you know, going into

465
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 7: the portal, whatever the case may be, to have a

466
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 7: guy to sign for a whole lot of money just

467
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 7: to play football, but.

468
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: It still introduces a new problem.

469
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 5: And the new problem is is when there's money involved,

470
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: there's an exchanging of power, a power that the players

471
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 5: did not have when we played in college. So so,

472
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 5: to me, a major reason why coaches like a Nick

473
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 5: Saban and other old head coaches are getting out of

474
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: the way is because you can't control the kids the

475
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 5: way that you did before. To me, that's that's the

476
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 5: bigger reason you're not going to get You can get

477
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 5: a kid to come to your school because you can

478
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 5: pay the money. That's fine, and the kid might even stay.

479
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 5: But are are the are the motivation factors still the same?

480
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 5: What motivated y'all to be good when you were in college,

481
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 5: bro to to try to make it and and make

482
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 5: it to the league and get money.

483
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,959
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, but when we were playing us getting paid

484
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 3: was not even a thought.

485
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 6: It was understand that.

486
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: Understand that, TJ. But what I'm saying to.

487
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 5: You is that you had what leverage as players. I

488
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 5: don't care if your burst you have zero leverage zero,

489
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 5: don't like it.

490
00:27:57,760 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: And you know who.

491
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,959
Speaker 3: Exercised the leverage in those those meeting rooms and on

492
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 3: the practice field and had no problem letting you know.

493
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 5: I mean, hey, all due respect. Joe used to tell

494
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 5: dudes daily, I'll put you back. I'll put you back

495
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 5: on that bus, back to where you came from. They

496
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 5: put on that bus.

497
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 6: They won't tell you that now.

498
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 5: Not only can they not do that, that's control like what.

499
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: Not only can you not do that now?

500
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: But if a kid bucks back and says, I don't

501
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 5: feel like running this gasser, I don't feel like doing

502
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 5: this workout today.

503
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 3: Do you under I'm not doing nothing today? In fact,

504
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 3: in fact, I'm taking a week off today.

505
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: Tak a far.

506
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 6: If I'm on the I promise you this, and y'all

507
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 6: know me.

508
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: If I'm on a team and somebody on my team

509
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 3: said says that he gotta go or I gotta go,

510
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: I'm not going for that.

511
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: I'm not.

512
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 5: But but that dynamic is playing out already.

513
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 3: Day And that's fine because those guys are the guys

514
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 3: you don't want on your team. I don't care how

515
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 3: talented they are are, if you're not willing to work

516
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: for something that's bigger than where you are right now,

517
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 3: because right now they get pay the college.

518
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 5: It's not my son, your son has that that foundational component.

519
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 5: Your son has those.

520
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: Those because if you don't want to work at all,

521
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: you don't want.

522
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: To say coming to school with that process.

523
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 3: If you don't want to work at Penn State, you're

524
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: not gonna go to Michigan State and want to work.

525
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 3: You're not gonna go to work and State want to work.

526
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: If you a non worker, wherever you go, you a

527
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: non worker. So it's gonna show work.

528
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 5: The that you're making is valid. But it's also the

529
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 5: reason why the transfer portal is jumping. It's a booming

530
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: business because you don't have to stay in.

531
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 3: Hitting a portal because the same kids, they are in

532
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 3: the portal multiple times where they go, they go to two, three,

533
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,239
Speaker 3: four schools. Guess what, the same problem you had at

534
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: school one, you got the same problem in school two,

535
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 3: so forth and so on.

536
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 7: So they had a final way to you know, get

537
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 7: a hold on what was happening. Hey, regulation, it takes

538
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 7: me back last year to what Penny Hardaway said. Penny

539
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 7: hard Away, you know, we had a sound on this

540
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 7: show and he said that, you know, it's a damn

541
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 7: shame that what's going on right now in the n

542
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 7: C double A is that we have to recruit our

543
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: own kids after the season.

544
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got to recruit them during the season too,

545
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 5: because you have again, you had guys that were going

546
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 5: to miss bowl games and miss in the season based

547
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 5: off of.

548
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: The transfer portal.

549
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: They're they're leaving and a lot of people had problems

550
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 5: with the idea of the transfer portal being open while

551
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 5: the season was still going there's going.

552
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: About that issues that they think now.

553
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: That that's one thing that should be changed.

554
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 6: I agree needs to be changed. I don't.

555
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: I don't believe players should be leaving as the season

556
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 3: is going on. That that's one thing I do not

557
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: agree with. But all this, all these coaches is man,

558
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: these dudes making non figures in a lifetime on the

559
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: backs of these kids. So if you not gonna put

560
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: a cap on your salary, don't put a cap on

561
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,239
Speaker 3: what they make. And they are at the forefront of this.

562
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 3: And that's what bothers me because the majority, not all,

563
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: the majority of these kids and the families aren't making

564
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 3: it to the NFL, and the majority of these families

565
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 3: come from low income backgrounds.

566
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 6: This is a head start on life.

567
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 3: Don't cap these kids because the majority of them are

568
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 3: not gonna make it let them make what they can

569
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 3: while they're in college and it gives them a head

570
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: start on life. But now they went, oh, they're still

571
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: getting their head start. Well, they would be getting a

572
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 3: better head start if you didn't put a cap on it.

573
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 5: I just think there's gonna be a lot that has

574
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: to be developed, a lot that's going to have to

575
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 5: be discussed, and it's gonna start with the structure and

576
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 5: the expertise of the people within each university and how

577
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,600
Speaker 5: they're making decisions. Thank goodness that Penn State has an

578
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 5: amazing athletic director in their athletic department.

579
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: Is doing such an amazing job taking advantage of this

580
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: day and age in this new time.

581
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: So you know, Elia on the board, if they can't

Speaker 10: the third.

642
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 8: It's Gof's second career Grand Slam title. She also won

643
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 8: the US Open in twenty twenty three. Game two of

644
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 8: the Stanley Cup Final on Friday night saw Brad Marshand's

645

Speaker 8: double overtime goal give the Florida Panthers a five to

646
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 8: four win at Edmonton, tying the series in one. Now earlier,

647
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 8: we heard the Panthers radio call, well, here is how

648
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 8: Marshan's double overtime winners sounded in Spanish.

649
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: Dumper, dumb, look that.

650

00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 8: I'll just I'll just have to take your word for it.

656
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,640

657

666
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 5: of the break. Is this the end for a quarterback

672
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 5: cuffs to legend coming up here at the top of

673
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 5: the hour, so you want to stay locked in for that.

674
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,240
Speaker 5: For all the NBA discussions that are ensuing, guys, before

675
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 5: we get to the end of this hour, though, Anthony Richardson,

676
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 5: he's now sidelined with a shoulder injury. I just got

677
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 5: to ask, fellas, with all things given, is this the

678
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 5: end of the road for Anthony Richardson with the Colts.

679
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 3: Wow, he's young man. When you're that young, I can

680
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 3: never say it's the end of the road for a

681
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 3: player that young.

682
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,439
Speaker 6: Now, he's gonna need a lot to go his way.

683
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 3: I'll say that we are gonna assume if he's out

684
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 3: any time in training, Daniel Jones is gonna be the

685
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: starting quarterback. It's an uphill battle for Anthony Richardson's and

686
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,440
Speaker 3: had it's going on to his third season, I believe,

687
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: and has had multiple injuries to your shoulder. When you're

688
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: a quarterback that's can't have that. It's hard to say

689
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 3: that his career is on the brink of being over.

690
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 3: But not career. I didn't say career. I'm not saying

691
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 3: to take his career away from hi.

692
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm just saying his career.

693
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 6: I mean it's careering with.

694
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: The Coats, Okay, all right.

695
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 3: If I believe Shane Steinken is one of the better

696
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 3: offensive minds in football, if Daniel Jones is a quarterback,

697
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:00,959
Speaker 3: I believe they gonna they can do damage with him.

698
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 6: I really do.

699
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: He led the Giants to the playoffs and with Shane

700
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: Styking this quarterback, and what he did with Jalen Hurts

701
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: when they went to the Super Bowl. I believe Daniel

702
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 3: Jones can take the Coats to the playoffs if he's

703
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: healthy for all seventeen games. As far as Anthony Richardson, yeah,

704
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: as it starter with the Coats, I believe it's over.

705
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

706
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 7: I mean, it's been unfortunate. I thought that he was

707
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 7: one of the better quarterbacks coming out of that draft

708
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 7: and twenty twenty three going into his third season. But

709
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 7: I think the most alarming thing about the about his

710
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 7: shoulder injury is that nobody's being tackled, nobody's being hit.

711
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:48,640
Speaker 7: So I think that's the main concern for the Coats

712
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 7: and Anthony Richardson moving forward, like these are nine contact

713
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 7: shoulder injuries, and I think he's used to concentrate or

714
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:04,240
Speaker 7: focus on being getting healthy. From what I have heard

715
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 7: that it's a no surgery type of injury.

716
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 6: But here we are in June.

717
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 7: Training camp starts the next month, and you have obviously

718
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones as your backup quarterback, but you drafted this

719
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 7: guy to turn your organization around.

720
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that.

721
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 7: He's incombatant as a quarterback to being able to play

722
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 7: good football. It's just that he hasn't been healthy enough

723
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 7: to show us he gone.

724
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: I don't see it working out. I just think this

725
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:35,879
Speaker 1: is the end.

726
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 5: And you know, for a multitude of reasons, too many

727
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 5: to name in ten seconds.

728
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this.

729
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 5: We're going to take a quick break and who ain't

730
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 5: gone yet, Well this NBA Finals. So we'll talk about

731
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 5: that with cups of legend. Our two coming at you

732
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 5: up on game Fox Sports Radio
