1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: Well, I'm about to get relatable up in here, Like

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: right out of the gate. There's no need to waste

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: much time. This is one of those moments in life

5
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: that I think every single person listening has been through

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 2: one time or another. Basically, what we just watched in

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: the NFL is the same thing that happens on The

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: Bachelor or The Bachelorette every single time you watch it.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 2: You sit down, everybody's walking out of limos, and within

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 2: moments they're all in love. Isn't that amazing? Twenty five

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 2: people all falling in love with the same person. Why

12
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: Because the person they're looking at is right in front

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: of them, and there's a complete and total fear that

14
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: you're never gonna find the real thing. So what do

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: you do? Ephram Slom? You signed Baker Mayfield to thirty

16
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 2: three million a year. That's what you do. That's what

17
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: you do. You sign up up and say I am

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: in love with this sixty four percent completion percentage, five

19
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 2: hundred level play quarterback. That's what you do. Hey, buddy,

Speaker 3: Look.

29
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: I am one of the few people who I am

30
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 4: a Baker Mayfield fan. Now, I wasn't a Baker Mayfield fan.

31
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 3: Earlier.

32
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: I didn't like this notion of him having a chip

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: on his shoulder and him being the first pick in

34
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 4: the draft.

35
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 3: It seems like a weird chip to have.

36
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: Just speaking someone from someone who came from the end

37
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: of the draft and the seventh round. It just seemed

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 4: weird to have a chip on your shoulder as the

39
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: first pick in the draft. So this whole notion of oh,

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: they all doubting me, I'm like, uh so, who who's

41
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 4: all doubting you? And then reality sets in and doesn't

42
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 4: go the way he thought it was gonna go. You know,

43
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: had one good year in Cleveland, made it to the playoffs,

44
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: things returning, got a bunch of commercials, A lot of commercials,

45
00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: A lot of commercials, whole bunch every commercial break, big

46
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: Mayfield and the stadium and it's his house and YadA YadA, YadA, YadA.

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 2: Fix it all up. Everybody's coming over that. Yeah.

48
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: So his reality was a little different, right, His reality.

49
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: Was skewed a bit and really.

50
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 4: Coming out of that fog and realizing, oh snap, this

51
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,640
Speaker 4: is this is tough.

52
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: Right.

53
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 4: Then you go to Carolina and it just does go

54
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: to the rams and and it's just like, oh God.

55
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 4: Now he could have easily just gone and been a

56
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 4: backup and just made a couple million dollars a year

57
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 4: for the next ten years, you know, bouncing from team

58
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: to team or whatever. But he got an opportunity in

59
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay, and he resurrected himself. He reinvented himself. I'm

60
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 4: a fan of that process, okay, and so I think,

61
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: in my opinion, he deserves it. If you look at

62
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 4: the hey man, how much money did they pay Mac?

63
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: I mean, uh, Daniel Jones.

64
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: Oh well, we talked too much.

65
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 4: So if Daniel Jones gets that contract, you mean, tell

66
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 4: me Baker Mayfe when I'm worth a hundred million dollars.

67
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 2: Well, that's a problem because if we're going to do that,

68
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: and I know agents do.

69
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 3: If Daniel that's all they do.

70
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 2: Well, but if if we're going to do that, if

71
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones deserves a then what does my client deserve? Well,

72
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: then they all deserve forty five million dollars, well not

73
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: all of them, well pretty much. I mean, what did

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones do for the Giants last year? I know

75
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: he got hurt, but.

76
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: Come on, he didn't do anything and he wasn't going

77
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: and he's not going to do anything next year either.

78
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: But they gave him the money anyway.

79
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: But when you look, that's that's a tough nut to crack,

80
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like it because if that's

81
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 2: going to be the way that we do it, then

82
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: I would waltz in there and be like, so I

83
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: noticed that Deshaun Watson got two hundred and thirty five million, Well.

84
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 4: Everybody tried to do that, but the owners walked back right,

85
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 4: They were like, look that we're not We're not about

86
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 4: to do that. That's why Lamar Jackson held down. That's

87
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 4: why all of these things happened in at the quarterback

88
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 4: position the last three years. Now we've seen what Joe

89
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: Burrow got and his guaranteed money is up over two

90
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: hundred million, which is where everybody wanted. It won't get

91
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: to two thirty for quite some time and fully guaranteed,

92
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: but it's over two hundred million now, so that's where

93
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: things are going. It just happened with Deshaun Watson four

94
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: years too soon, and that's why the owners were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, We.

95
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: Got to slow this train down.

96
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: And they all were like, yeah, we're not about to

97
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 4: sign anybody, like they really came to the table like, guys,

98
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 4: you cannot sign another quarterback at this price, fully guaranteed,

99
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: or we're we're be hemorrhaging money because there's not they're

100
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 4: not five quarter four quarterbacks in the league worth two

101
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 4: undred thirty million dollars fully guaranteed.

102
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: Of course.

103
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 4: So of course when you see what what Tampa did

104
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 4: and gave Baker, you can understand it. You get it

105
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 4: in that division, in that division, all right.

106
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: Well see, no, but that that's an interesting point that

107
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: you make up because people will do that, they'll go

108
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: in that division. Well, that seems pretty circumstantial. What we

109
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: what are we trying to do here? Like, are you

110
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: just trying to win the NFC South? Yes? To start? Well, yes,

111
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 2: to start. That's a pretty low goal. And I also

112
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know two things. I don't know

113
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 2: what the NFC South will look like three years from now.

114
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 2: I also don't know if Kirk Cousins is going to

115
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: be in it tomorrow, because he might be, And if.

116
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 4: He is, then you, yeah, you do, you do?

117
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't listen. I don't disagree with you conceptually, although

118
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: I always think it's interesting when we use the word deserve.

119
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: Did Baker deserve more than what he was making? Of course? Like, yeah,

120
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: he had a nice year. Nice, But if you want

121
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: to start doing longer term, if you want to start

122
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: doing bank breaking money, and you you want to start

123
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: playing that game, I'm sorry, I'm not doing that for well,

124
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: he was nice and he might win the stupidest division

125
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: in football, Like what's our goal here? Are you trying

126
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: to beat the Saints or are you trying to beat

127
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 2: the Niners and the Lions? Like what do you? What

128
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: are you after here? So I don't know. It's it's

129
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: an interesting time to me because I look at it

130
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: and I know numbers lie all the time and we

131
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: can find whatever we want to build our narrative. But

132
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: what an interesting week? Because if I asked you who

133
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: had a better completion percentage, who had a higher rating,

134
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: who had a better TDT interception ratio? And I put

135
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks next to each other, and one of them

136
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 2: was Baker Mayfield and the other one was Russell Wilson.

137
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 2: What do you think the answer is to that question?

138
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: You already know because I'm asking it. One of them

139
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: got kicked out the door to the tune of just

140
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 2: throwing eighty five million dollars into the ocean, and the

141
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: other one got a hundred million coming back the other way. Why.

142
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: But you also have to realize there's.

143
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 4: You ever been in a relationship, and and.

144
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 3: You like the person, right, like you really like the person, And.

145
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: Sometimes your parents or your best friends don't like the person, right,

146
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: So say your best friend is like, yeah, this might

147
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,959
Speaker 4: not be the one. Some people are like they make

148
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: me happy, they make me feel special. I don't care

149
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: what my friends think. And then some are like, okay,

150
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: you know me, so all right, we'll part ways. Even

151
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 4: though the person you're breaking up with hadn't done anything

152
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: for you to break up with them. They didn't deserve it.

153
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 4: But you're heating the warnings before they hit. That's the

154
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 4: situation in Denver and with Russell Wilson, I feel you.

155
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: Right, I feel you, but I also feel like, I mean,

156
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 2: you laid it out the warning sign You don't need

157
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: warning signals. With Baker Mayfield, we've watched all of them.

158
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: They're not warning shots anymore. And you know, maybe he

159
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: will continue to be the same guy when he's not ultramotivated,

160
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: although even and if he is, I'd argue, again, what

161
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: is it you're actually trying to do? What are you

162
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: trying to do? What's the goal? Because what is Baker

163
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: Mayfield really going to do for you?

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: And with you?

165
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: Keep your relevant, keep you in it. Win a bad

166
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: division maybe if things go the right way, ten wins,

167
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: if things really click, and then we'll have fun in

168
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 2: whichever playoff game we lose. But that's that's your ceiling.

169
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: It's not going anywhere past that. So you're not wrong.

170
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 2: And I can't say I can't say that they're wrong,

171
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: but I can at least ask the question, what's your

172
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: goal here? If you're going to do a deal like that.

173
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: Whoa, it's literally fifty million dollars guarantee.

174
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: Yep.

175
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: Your goal is you're at such a price for a

176
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 4: serviceable quarterback you can continue to build your team. That's

177
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 4: the point we need to talk about because at this price,

178
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 4: they can continue to build their team. And that's the

179
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: most important part. If you don't have a stud quarterback

180
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: on a rookie deal, are a real time, you know,

181
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 4: top five elite quarterback, how do you get your team

182
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 4: in a position to get better until one of those

183
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: lands on your doorstep. What you can't do is just

184
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 4: ignore everything and just focus solely on the quarterback. So

185
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 4: by signing Baker Mayfield, who can get this team to

186
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 4: the playoffs, now you can really add the pieces to

187
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 4: build a better team for in three years, so and

188
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: so's here, YadA, yadas there, that's how you build the team.

189
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 4: All swings aren't home runs, but they just hit a double.

190
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 4: But what it allows them to do is be in

191
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 4: scoring position when someone comes up and you hit a

192
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 4: home run. I'm watching the replay of the Dodgers, so

193
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 4: that's why I'm I'm throwing the base im That's why

194
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: I use the baseball analogy, just to show the people

195
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 4: out there, you know, I'm tapped in all these sports.

196
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: You are a you are a multi talented human being.

197
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody doubts that at all. Okay, I

198
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: can wrap my head around this if they do what

199
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm about to suggest next, and we'll talk about that next. Uh.

200
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: Just like in basketball, a successful game plan starts with

201
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: the right players the team. Attractor supply brings hustle and heart.

202
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: Now that's what really sets them apart. So lace up

203
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,360

226
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just the truth from some don't agree

227
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: with how I do this. I've had a hard time

228
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: with Baker Mayfield the whole time, ever since he was

229
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 2: running from the police in college. To be honest with you,

230
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: But okay, okay, I can get down. You think he

231
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: deserves it, you think it's a good move for Tampa Bay.

232
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: Let me just say this because it's interesting when you

233
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 2: said he allowed this contract allows them to keep building

234
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 2: their team well, in a way, I'd argue not if

235
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 2: he plays well. If he plays well, then no, you're

236
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: gonna keep ending up with the pick that they have

237
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: this year twenty sixth. Overall, what maneuverability is that going

238
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 2: to provide for you to go ahead and get that

239
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 2: real potential quarterback difference make And it's not a pup

240
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: of a team surrounding him. They've got right. They just

241
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: paid Mike Evans. Again, they've got an established receiving corps,

242
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 2: a building offensive line. I don't know. We're in the

243
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: tyreq dot com studios Mark with a Y from Salaam.

244
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: So here's what I would say, Uh yeah, twenty six pick,

245
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: they've also got number fifty seven, they've got number eighty nine,

246
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 2: and they've also got let's see something in the one

247
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 2: twenty four one four. You want to do Baker Mayfield

248
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: for one hundred million dollars, Better use one of those

249
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: picks on quarterback. Better start drafting quarterbacks and see what

250
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: you can find and start building at that position for

251
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: down the road.

252
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 4: Well, that helps you though, right, you don't feel the

253
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 4: need to have to try to move up or try

254
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 4: to get in the top ten to get one of

255
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: these quarterbacks.

256
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 3: That helps you.

257
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: That allows you to get a guy in the third round,

258
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 4: or get a guy in the fourth round and him

259
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 4: turn out to be a pretty during good quarterback. There

260
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 4: is also a thing called development that I think the

261
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: NFL has straight away from right bringing.

262
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: In that right, Yeah, I've I've never heard of something. Right,

263
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: Talk to me, what is this word mean? Met?

264
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: You talk all players drafted in the first round aren't

265
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 4: ready to play. All players drafted in the third round

266
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 4: aren't ready to play. All players drafted in any round

267
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: aren't ready to play. You have outliers, You have guys

268
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 4: who can come in and step in and making an

269
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: immediate impact. I prided myself on being one of the

270
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: outliers and came in and started all nineteen games my

271
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 4: rookie season, including the Super Bowl. Like that was hard

272
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 4: to do, though not everybody can do that. Does that

273
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 4: mean they can't play in the league at some point, No,

274
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 4: But we're so caught up in this you gotta do

275
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 4: it now that it'll run more kids out of the league,

276
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 4: then it will keep them in the league. And so

277
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with having Baker Mayfield under center.

278
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 4: You drafting a quarterback you feel that you can develop. Right,

279
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 4: Not all first round draft picks have to sit in

280
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 4: terms of the those are the only ones that pan out.

281
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 2: Right.

282
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 4: Sit a third round draft pick, let him be there,

283
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: let him learn what it is to be a pro

284
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 4: and learn from a Baker or whoever you have starting.

285
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,479
Speaker 4: And then when Baker's contract is up, now you have

286
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 4: a situation where you realize, oh, okay, we have this

287
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: guy that we like, that we have been.

288
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: Developing to come in and step in and be that guy. Yeah,

289
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,439
Speaker 2: that I like. And you look around the league and

290
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 2: it is interesting. And I don't have all of these

291
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: draft positions in front of me, but there are some

292
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: interesting players who fit that mold. I mean, obviously, people

293
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 2: talk a lot about Brock Purdy and what he did

294
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: out of the seventh round and on a very good

295
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: team with all kinds of things around him, but removing

296
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: the pressure of the young quarterback on his way in.

297
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: I mean, for example, a little bit interesting what Jake

298
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 2: Browning did in Cincinnati this year. I bet that that

299
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: probably caught some eyes. He's backing up a star and

300
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 2: so therefore did he now put himself in position to

301
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 2: where someone's going to be interested in grabbing Jake Browning

302
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 2: Down the road? You can bounce around a little bit

303
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,439
Speaker 2: and see some of these players. You know, look at

304
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans quarterback situation and how that might have

305
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 2: started to come into focus this year. I know it

306
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: wasn't a great year for him, but he's the odds

307
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: on favorite to start for the Raiders at the beginning

308
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,120
Speaker 2: of this year. And Aidan O'Connell like, how's that, how's

309
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 2: that going to develop? What about Sam Howell and Washington

310
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: or what have you. You know, I like, I can

311
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: get down with this, provided that it's paired with something else,

312
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 2: and I would I would go diamond in the rough

313
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: shopping now if I'm Tampa Bay.

314
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 4: Which I think they've had this discussion. But you know,

315
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 4: having someone that you know can get you to the

316
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 4: playoffs is that's the goal. Get there and anything can happen,

317
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 4: as we especially saw this year, and so I'm okay

318
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 4: with it.

319
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 3: I like it.

320
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: I think he's earned it in terms of Baker Mayfield

321
00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 4: and not only just what he did on the field.

322
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 4: If you really realize it, you can tell that it

323
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 4: resonated with the players in the locker room. They like

324
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield and that you can't put a price tag on.

325
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: That.

326
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: You can't Guess who doesn't like Guess who has an issue?

327
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 4: You give him a lot of money. He's the quarterback,

328
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 4: supposed to be the leader of the team. Guys in

329
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 4: the locker room care less, Guess who. Guess who has

330
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 4: that problem? The Arizona Cardinals, Yeah, who else Arizona?

331
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah? New York Giants, New York Giants right.

332
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 4: Now, you've got two problems on your hand. But if

333
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: you can get a guy that resonates in the locker

334
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: room and guys are willing to fight with and for,

335
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: then you got something. It's deeper than just the money.

336
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 4: It's deeper in the price tag. All of these things matter,

337
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 4: and you can tell when teams get it right. Look

338
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 4: at what the Houston Texans number one the respect from

339
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 4: in that locker room for Dimico Ryans, it's through the roof.

340
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 4: Texans players have come out and said you could tell C. J.

341
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: Strout was the captain and the leader of this team

342
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 4: by the second practice.

343
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 2: That's what you want. That's what you want.

344
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 4: You don't want the Guyo's xbox and not reading this

345
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 4: well right right, got it in my contract.

346
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: Gotta practice, so I'm here.

347
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 4: So you know, sometimes you're paying for for something else

348
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: as well.

349
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: Okay, but what if I went this route, because again,

350
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: this division has been won by eight and nine followed

351
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 2: by nine and eight in back to back years now,

352
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: and you sort of pointed to that like, oh, that's

353
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 2: all that's all you gotta do. Well, couldn't you really?

354
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,120
Speaker 2: And I don't know everybody's cap situation, although I do

355
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: feel this In the NFL, if you don't like your

356
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: cap situation, just manipulate it.

357
00:21:58,840 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: You can change it.

358
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: I get that that's not a catch all, but it

359
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: seems to be a catch most. And if I'm Tampa

360
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 2: Bay and I know that Atlanta really really wants Kirk Cousins,

361
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: I know it's more expensive than Baker, although maybe not

362
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 2: that much more, maybe not that much. I don't know.

363
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what that contract is going to look like.

364
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 2: But I got Mike Evans on one side, Chris Godwin

365
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: on the other, good young running back. Why not go

366
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 2: get Kirk?

367
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 7: Not?

368
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 4: Because what if you go get like a like a

369
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 4: like a real big time running back. What if you

370
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 4: go get a Saquan or Henry or Now now you

371
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: got something that looks completely Now you got an animal

372
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 4: on your hands.

373
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: Right. Just I'm just saying, I'm just gonna throw that

374
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: out there. If they don't get it, I get it.

375
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 2: But they're not gonna do that, are they.

376
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 4: I mean, hey, man, what we're trying to do? Well,

377
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 4: that's my question, that's my I mean, just to beginning,

378

Speaker 3: But if you put if you if you.

380
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 4: But if you pair him with a Derrick Henry, Hello,

381
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 4: who's that by we come? I got you right, So

00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 2: Golf Ladies and gentlemen living right.

467
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 8: Will Zvala Taurus tied for fourth, so he gets a

468
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 8: spot in the British Open for having the lowest score

469
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 8: among players not already exempt. But Scheffler was the story

470
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 8: at his lead atop the world rankings got larger over

471
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 8: Rory McElroy. McElroy started this final round today four shots

472
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 8: back and then shot forty one on the front nine.

473
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 8: Finished with a seventy six today did not finish in

474
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 8: the top twenty for the tournament. This weekend, LIV Golf

475
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 8: Hong Kong was going on. Meanwhile, went to a three

476
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 8: way playoff. Abraham Answer had led by five strokes to

477
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 8: start the day. He did eventually win in the playoff.

478
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 8: Bryson Deshamba was two shots back and yes in the

479
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 8: rain that's four million dollars for the winner on the

480
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 8: Live Golf Tour. The two runners up in the playoff

481
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 8: each got about one point nine million dollars plus team

482
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 8: bonus money. Keep in mind Phil Mickelson finished tied for

483
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 8: fifty second out of fifty four golfers and still gets

484
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 8: fifty thousand bucks and the trip to Asia. I assume

485
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 8: for the weekend. I don't know what team winnings he got,

486
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 8: but you know how they divide up the field and

487
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 8: seemingly everybody gets bonus money out of that pool. If

488
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 8: your quote team of golfers has the best score for

489
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 8: the weekend, you split three million dollars with the other.

490
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 8: So they're just rolling in cash. Next live golf event. No,

491
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 8: not next week, not the week after, It's next month

492
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 8: in Miami.

493
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,719
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, yeah, do y'all start watching Full Swing on

494
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 2: Netflix yet? No?

495
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 8: But you have talked about this a couple of weeks ago, right.

496
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Aphram, have you checked it out yet?

497
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 8: It's like the following the competitors like the Formula one

498
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 8: thing they.

499
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: Had and was very popular last year, so they brought

500
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 2: it back and each episode dives into a completely different

501
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 2: sort of feature angle out in the golf world. And

502
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: episode one in this season of Full Swing is all

503
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 2: about the PGA Tour versus live kind of drama and

504
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 2: argument that unfolded last year. I bring it up only

505
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 2: because I sat there watching it with both my son

506
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 2: and my daughter. My son is a high school golfer

507
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,960
Speaker 2: and was like totally in on all of this. My

508
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 2: daughter this is the first time she had heard of

509
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 2: live golf. Have you ever tried to expec plame to

510
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: someone tough what happened last year in golf and try

511
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 2: to do that in less than two and a half hours.

512
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 8: And then try to explain the current format of live

513
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 8: golf tournaments.

514
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, she watched the whole episode and she's like,

515
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what's live golf. I'm like, oh God,

516
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: I have a show tomorrow night. I don't think I've

517
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 2: got the time.

518
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 8: Find your local CW station. Attempt to decipher the graphics

519
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 8: they have on the screen. What is it? Was that

520
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 8: shot good for the team standings? Was it not good

521
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 8: for the team standing?

522
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah? And they're showing uh Brooks kept going on a

523
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: podcast and and they're sitting there and I think it

524
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: was with Jake Paul and He's like, come on, man,

525
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 2: tell me what the what was the price? Was it

526
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: eight figures? Was it nine? And Brooks just sat there

527
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: with one of them bleep eating grins, and he's like

528
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: it was nine. It was nine, Yeah, it was. It

529
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: was nice. Nine figures just to just to show up.

530
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 3: Hey day, I'm here, guys.

531
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 8: The two hundred k or so he got for these

532
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 8: three days in Hong Kong, that's just meal money.

533
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 2: That's exactly per diem.

534
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just bring your family.

535
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 2: Hey. Oh gosh, I love our Sunday Night Live golf chats.

536
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: I love it.

537
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 4: It's the only place on TV or radio they ever

538
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 4: talk about it.

539
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 3: So you welcome America.

540
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 2: Exactly, all right, Steve, great stuff. We appreciate. Jo's always

541
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: tie IRAQ dot Com Studios. Mark Willardy from Salamon coming

542
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 2: up next. Steve did mention that NFL trade today Mac

543
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a sixth round draft pick.

544
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 2: So I want to take a look back, because tell

545
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 2: me again how this year is loaded in the drafted quarterback.

546
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear how this year is loaded

547
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: it quarterback in the NFL draft. Uh, let's take a

548
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: little trip down memory Lane, the last time the draft

549
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: was loaded at quarterback coming up next on Fox Sports Radio.

550
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,840
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

551
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 2: All right, we're in the tire rag dot com Studios.

552
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: That is he from Salam. I'm Mark Willard, Trevor Lawrence

553
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 2: is fine. I still don't know exactly what he's going

554
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 2: to be. What do you think about him?

555
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: By the way, I think he has the talent obviously.

556
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 4: I think the setback happened the Urban Meyers thing.

557
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: Just was really like, yeah.

558
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: That was the thing, and then he showed what we

559
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: thought he was going to be his second year. But

560
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: the tricky thing about growth, maturity and getting better, the

561
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 4: consistency is the toughest part. So you need things to

562
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 4: go right as you're getting better to help you be consistent.

563
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: And I think starting behind the eight ball and Doug

564
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 4: Petersen comes in and changes everything, and you know, you

565
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 4: had a dynamic running game. Things were working, and whenever

566
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 4: something happens, you know, of course you have the injuries,

567
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: and then the running game wasn't what it was. The

568
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 4: defense what it wasn't was as he was going through

569
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: this transition into trash to treasure, it just you know,

570
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 4: it throws you off a little bit.

571
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 3: I believe that.

572
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: He's going to recalibrate a lot of film, a lot

573
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 4: of things for him to look at and for him

574
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 4: to actually study about himself and what needs to happen.

575
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 4: But I think he bounces back because all the town

576
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 4: on Isaia, we saw that.

577
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So we're at a spot and I think your

578
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 2: assessment's pretty spot on. Well, we're at a spot when

579
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 2: we look at Trevor Lawrence and we start our sentences

580
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: with I think I think he's good, and I think

581
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: he's going to be even better. But we think, we think,

582
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: And here we are, three years later from a loaded

583
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 2: quarterback draft that started with him and then went to

584
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, followed by Trey Lance, followed by Justin Fields,

585
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: followed by Mac Jones. So tail of the tape, I

586
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: don't even know how to kill characterize Zach Wilson's Jets career.

587
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: But Aaron Rodgers is now on the team and they

588
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:11,040
Speaker 2: would take a few new Helmets in exchange for Zach Wilson.

589
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, i'm pretty sure is about to be traded.

590
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 2: Don't know where. Trey Lance went for a fourth round

591
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 2: pick and remains a third Stringer and Mac Jones today

592
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: was sent to Jacksonville to back up the number one

593
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: overall pick in the same draft for a sixth round pick.

594
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: There is the last time the QB class was quote loaded.

595
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Ets, what a difference a few years makes. Huh

596
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 3: so right?

597
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: Cautionary tale. I thought you and I had some really

598
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 2: interesting conversations about Caleb Williams last week. Yes, and I

599
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 2: don't know where that's going to go. But obviously this

600
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: conversation does not start and end with just Caleb. It

601
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,439
Speaker 2: goes on and on this year. But the whole thing

602
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 2: is just it's annually funny to me the way the

603
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 2: way we talk about this, and I lean in the direction.

604
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 2: I don't even remember what the exact numbers were. But

605
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,040
Speaker 2: the Combine this year set a record for the views, right,

606
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,399
Speaker 2: for the for the audience, for the combine. I don't

607
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 2: really understand it. That's not I'm not criticizing the combine.

608
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: I just don't. I don't know, man, I'm not. I'm

609
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,400
Speaker 2: not making nachos and sitting down to watch dudes in tights,

610
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: you know, go lateral like I just like it was

611
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: some some fanfare at the stadium too, No doubt no doubt.

612
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: But it's like, okay, you know what I mean. I've

613
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 2: always wondered why the one thing they don't do at

614
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: the combine is the one thing they actually want to

615
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: know if you can do like play football, and if

616
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 2: you did that, I maybe I'd watch the whole thing.

617
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 2: But draft, same thing, like we get oh man, here

618
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: comes the draft. Let's be real, the average and I

619
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: mean big time football fan could probably name what ten guys,

620
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: fifteen guys maybe maybe maybe maybe maybe ten. So like

621
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, for me, especially once we get through night one,

622
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: the NFL draft is very much like attending your neighbor's graduation.

623
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: It was just a parade of Bobby sen zone. All right,

624
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? I don't know? Like and

625
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: and so the flash forward of this is gonna happen,

626
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 2: and it means that is just like this annual screw

627
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: loose that we have. It just I don't know what

628
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks are gonna be. And every there'll be someone

629
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 2: that owning the no mark. But this one, hah, this

630
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: one's different. This okay, all right, I'm gonna schedule of

631
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 2: the show for two years from now, and you tell

632
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: me if they were all that thing because I'm a

633
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: bit against it just about every time.

634
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 4: It's in luck man. I mean, players come in, players

635
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 4: go out. You gotta keep the buzz up, you gotta

636
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 4: keep you know, this is the process. I understand why fans.

637
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 4: Football fans love the combine. Number one, the majority of

638
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 4: them are college football fans, so they're looking at the

639
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 4: players they go to, the college, they like, the college

640
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 4: they attended, so on and so forth. That's the great

641
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 4: thing about the NFL, and that's why it's so popular

642
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 4: because we spend three years at least with these players

643
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 4: at these schools. Now the transferred portal is a little different.

644
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 4: Guys are moving around. But prior to that, you had

645
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 4: a kid, he was locked in. You're a fan of

646
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,439
Speaker 4: the school. You're watching him grow, you're watching him get there.

647
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 4: He goes to the combine. You want to see how

648
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 4: he fares. I get it right. In turn, that spills

649
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 4: over into fendom for the NFL because every draft they

650
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 4: have rabbit fans from all thirty two teams there holding

651
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,400
Speaker 4: up jerseys, signs everything based on who they want or

652
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 4: who's getting drafted. So they go hand in hand. So

653
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 4: I understand the fanfare and the pageantry that the combine

654
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 4: offers football fans because now you've got college football fans

655
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 4: watching to see where their school is represented, and you

656
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 4: got NFL fans trying to find the new blood to

657
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 4: help put their.

658
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: Team on the map.

659
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 4: So it creates a symbiotic relationship between college and the

660
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 4: pros that we don't see in any other American sport period.

661
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 4: Like it just doesn't exist in basketball, It doesn't exist

662
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 4: in baseball, hockey. What did this is the This is

663
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 4: the only place it exists.

664
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 2: No doubt. I get that. I get that, and I

665
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 2: get that I'm I'm a little bit off on that

666
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 2: as well in certain ways. All Right, let's get to

667
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 2: let's get to some hoops here coming up in just

668
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 2: a few on Fox Sports Radio. I'm not sure what

669
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 2: a Laker fan likes more, ripping the Clippers or ripping

670
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 2: the Warriors. I'm really not sure. Uh, but let's give

671
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 2: this this Laker fany from Salaam, an opportunity to do

672
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:46,440
Speaker 2: either or both coming up this hour. How would you

673
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: answer that question? Uh, I know which one's easier through

674
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,919
Speaker 2: the years to make fun of, but uh, you tell

675
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: me the difference between the two. One is a rival and.

676
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 4: Also a championship franchise and the other is all fluff

677
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 4: and no substance.

678
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: So she answered the question within there you have it

679
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 2: the process. You're like, well, I would rather make fun

680
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 2: of the Clippers, and I will do so within my

681
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 2: answer without even answering which one I'd rather make fun

682
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: of it? And there you have it, And how I

683
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: did that. I saw exactly how you did it. I

684
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 2: thought it was brilliant. We're broadcasting live from the tireg

689
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 2: believer in saving the best for last. If you like

690
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: making fun of the Clippers so much, let's save that

691
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: for a moment. Let's put that aside, and let's talk

692
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 2: about the nine and the ten seed in the Western

693
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 2: Conference of the National Basketball Association of a play in again.

694
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, and it will be. And by the way,

695
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 2: there's enough separation, especially with what happened with Shoon left

696
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 2: on a wheelchair here tonight. And so the Rockets, who

697
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: are already four and a half games out of the

698
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 2: play in tournament. I think we know we don't know

699
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: who's going to be at the top of the play

700
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 2: in bracket, but no matter who it is, it's gonna

701
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 2: be delicious. It looks like it's going to be four

702
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:38,839
Speaker 2: of these five teams, Warriors, Lakers, Mavericks, King's Sons, and

703
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 2: so if you can think of some big names on

704
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 2: any of those teams, let me know. I think the

705
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 2: television networks are gonna love it, except for each night

706
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: one of them is gonna go home, right, So it's

707
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 2: a game of NBA survivor. That's a little unfortunate. But

708
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: put that aside for a second. The Lakers and Warriors

709
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 2: are both bringing up the rear of the play in

710
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: with thirty losses. The Lakers have played two more games

711
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 2: one them both, so they are technically right now, they

712
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 2: are one game ahead of the Warriors in these standings.

713
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 2: Even though things were trending I'd say about a week ago,

714
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: right the Warriors had moved into the nine. They've got

715
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,240
Speaker 2: like the second easiest schedule in the NBA the rest

716
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: of the way, and they had just blown the doors

717
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 2: off of the Milwaukee Bucks. What have they done since

718
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: then back to back losses to the Bulls and Spurs

719
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 2: at home. Also a Steph Curry injury. Fun So anyway,

720
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 2: let me ask, and I think I know your answer,

721
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 2: but I haven't asked, So let's get it. Both of

722
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 2: these teams are playing with the same narrative. They are

723
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 2: both fan bases consistently have their chests out right, the

724
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 2: Lakers forever and the Warriors for the last decade, filled

725
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: with champions, big names and future Hall of famers, and

726
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 2: so both fan bases are like, look, might be in

727
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 2: that playing tournament, we'll see, but if they get out

728
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: of it, oh, you don't want to face them, especially

729
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 2: if you're those campy little never been there before Oklahoma

730
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 2: City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves. You all, I know you

731
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 2: win all those basketball games, but you don't know what

732
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 2: it's like in the postseason. So I'm sure you'll just

733
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 2: fold like a cheap tent. No problem. Let me ask you,

734
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,240
Speaker 2: and you can separate the two teams if you want,

735
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: and you tell me that the answer is different for

736
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 2: both if you want. But are both fan bases chasing

737
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 2: a complete fairy tale right now?

738
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 3: Well?

739
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 4: No, I don't think so, especially for the Lakers. We

740
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 4: saw what happened last year. So when you have Ultimate twent,

741
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 4: you have talent like top ten NBA talent on your team,

742
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 4: the grind of the season is a real thing. And

743
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 4: once you get down to the playoffs, everything is set.

744
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: Travel is set.

745
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 4: You know exactly what you're doing when and where and

746
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: who with. So when you're playing a team and you

747
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 4: have to beat them four times to move on teams

748
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 4: like the Warriors, teams like the Lakers who have championship pedigree,

749
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 4: it's difficult to do that. Now, some things can offset that,

750
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 4: like the matchup issue. We saw it last year with

751
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 4: the Lakers. They just went right through the Western Conference

752
00:45:53,840 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: playoffs and met the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference championship.

753
00:46:00,640 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 4: His problems with the Nuggets and the Lakers are serious.

754
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 3: They're just big.

755
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 4: They're big when the Lakers are long and and and

756
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 4: normally impose their size on people.

757
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 2: Right, That's what I mean. Last year was defined by

758
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 2: its craziers were like, well, the Warriors are like, well,

759
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 2: we just had trouble with the Lakers because they're so big. Yes,

760
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: And then the Lakers went to the next round and

761
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 2: was like, boy, the Nuggets are just a minute. You're

762
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 2: you're the big team, but Bill had.

763
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: Their size at the skill put it like Michael Porter Jr.

764
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 4: Is the real deal. He's sixteen. Yeah, yo, Kic the

765
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 4: best player in the league, largest man on the crazy right.

766
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 4: And Aaron Gordon looks Drew. He looks like he's an

767
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 4: uncle Drew. Again, I don't know. In six eleven. They

768
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 4: all can handle, they all can shoot, so they put

769
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on your front court, and that

770
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 4: some matchup nightmare for the Lakers. They can play them

771
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 4: as good as anybody right down to the midway of

772
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 4: the fourth quarter, and then that size and shooting just

773
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 4: takes over. Not to even mention Jamal Murray mm hmm,

774
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 4: right in KCP.

775
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 2: Well, they're just so organized, man, it's so different, so organized.

776
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 2: That's why when, yeah, when I look at the NBA,

777
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 2: I'm always a big believer in continuity, you know you

778
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: This is why I don't get that excited about the

779
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 2: trade deadline because, in my opinion, you never no one's

780
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: ever won a title at the trade deadline, right, And

781
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:37,840
Speaker 2: it's why, like I know the Lakers did some just

782
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 2: heroic things at the deadline last year, but it's like, yeah,

783
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 2: you're gonna You're gonna get beat by somebody who's been

784
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: together for five years and everybody knows exactly what floorboard

785
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 2: they're supposed to be on at exactly the right time,

786
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: and they're gonna beat you. And when I watched the Nuggets,

787
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 2: that's my first thought, I'm like, man, this is you

788
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 2: mu the way that they all move around together out there. Yeah,

789
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 2: they're they're they're locked in. Yes.

790
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 3: And so.

791
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 4: When I look at these playoffs, and even if the

792
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 4: Lakers are in the play in, they're you know, two

793
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 4: games outside of six, sixth place, two and a half,

794
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 4: excuse me, two and a half.

795
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 2: Just to just to throw that out there.

796
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 4: There is hope coming down the stretch that we don't

797
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 4: have to worry about the play in. But when I

798
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 4: do look at the teams up there, with the thunder

799
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,439
Speaker 4: number one in the Timberwolves, and even the Clippers, I'd

800
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 4: love to see Lakers and the Clippers in the playoff series.

801
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 4: That would be everything. That would be everything. And then

802
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 4: you have the Pelicans and the Kings. I'll take the

803
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: Lakers in a seven game series over any of those

804
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 4: teams except the three seed Nuggets, Kings, Pelicans, Clippers, Timberwolves

805
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 4: and Thunder, and I think Golden State feels the same

806
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,680
Speaker 4: way when they're healthy. That's why I think both of

807
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 4: those fan bases myself and you feel like all we

808
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 4: got to do is get in and it is what

809
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 4: it is.

810
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 2: Now.

811
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: The problem is if we have to play you guys,

812
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 4: y'all not getting in you mean in the play in tournament.

813
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,320
Speaker 4: I would argue it depends on what we're not gonna happen.

814
00:49:25,840 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 4: I argue, it's whatever arena, it's in it.

815
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: But well we'll see Lakers schedule way, way harder down

816
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 2: the stretch. Yep. Yeah, yeah, Like again, this is and

817
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 2: this is why I ask because you know, for those

818
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 2: who don't know who are listening to us tonight, I

819
00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 2: do radio in San Francisco on the flagship station for

820
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 2: the Warriors, and doing doing that job, it's almost like

821
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 2: it's hilarious every day, not every not every week. Every day,

822
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 2: the whole fan base will show up with a whole

823
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 2: new narrative and it can it can stretch. And this

824
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:08,800
Speaker 2: was one of those weeks where on on Thursday morning,

825
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:14,880
Speaker 2: it's Sunday Ephraim. On Thursday morning, a nobody in the

826
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 2: Warriors way, no bah d beat the Bucks by thirty five.

827
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: Wiggins was back from wherever he was, and for the

828
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 2: first time all year, the Warriors had their full complement

829
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: of every available They had no injury report, and they

830
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:43,240
Speaker 2: beat the Bucks by thirty five, and peacocks were out

831
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:48,400
Speaker 2: all over town strutting. Nobody was going to get in

832
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: the Warriors way. Then they had a game again that

833
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 2: night and lost to the Chicago Bulls, and Steph Curry

834
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: left for the locker room. You come in twenty four

835
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: hours later and it's a line of people being like,

836
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 2: you know, they're really not that good. They just they're

837
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 2: just not that kind of a basketball team. It's flawed,

838
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: the coaching is off, the lineup rotations, can't figure it out.

839
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:17,239
Speaker 2: Stupid general manager, never got a big guy. I don't

840
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 2: even know what we're doing here talking about this and

841
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 2: that yo yo has been going on all year long,

842
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 2: and to I agree with you a lesser degree With

843
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:32,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers, however, you do look at what they do

844
00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 2: when they leave La flat bad. This is a bad

845
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 2: basketball team when they're not at the Chris true. And

846
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 2: so you know, like we can sit here and do

847
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 2: championship pedigree, or we could be like but also reality, sure,

848
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: reality is also there that they're all they're old, and

849
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: they're going to be challenged, and they're gonna have to

850
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 2: do it from behind and on the road and against

851
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 2: teams that you know, at some point, even if you

852
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: do get in the playoffs and make noise like the

853
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: Nuggets are going to be there at some point early

854
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: late somewhere, they're gonna be there. I don't know, man,

855
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 2: and experience. Oklahoma City is the most offensively dynamic team

856
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 2: in the whole conference, and I guess they just won't

857
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 2: make their shots anymore in the postseason. I don't know, man,

858
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm like, you tell me if we're

859
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: playing with ghosts or not, because I really don't know.

860
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,919
Speaker 4: The postseason is a different animal it is, so you

861
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 4: have to make yourself a different animal to play in

862
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 4: the postseason. Most young teams don't know what that is.

863
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 4: Most older teams do. So when you're in a seven

864
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 4: game series, you gotta be locked in, like locked in,

865
00:52:53,560 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 4: locked in. And then in either of those cases, you're

866
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,760
Speaker 4: playing against all time greats, Hall of Fame players who've

867
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:08,319
Speaker 4: been there, done it, been there, done it, the whole

868
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:13,799
Speaker 4: nine yards. So it's going to be tough. Now, sometimes

869
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 4: youth and speed it wins out. But we saw that

870
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:22,399
Speaker 4: playoff series between Golden State and the Kings last year

871
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 4: came down to a game seven. Yep, and what happened

872
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,759
Speaker 4: in game seven, Steph Curry took over. Steph Curry's an

873
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 4: all time great. However, Hall of Famer. I will also add.

874
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,760
Speaker 2: Though, that the Warriors completely gagged a home game six.

875
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's true, which which had they won.

876
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,360
Speaker 2: I would have given them a much better chance to

877
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 2: win Game one in the next round against the Lakers.

878
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 3: Whatever, they weren't gonna win when like that.

879
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: Was the only game that a home team lost, and

880
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 2: and like exhaustion on the road from game seven forty

881
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 2: eight hours earlier. It's a thing, is it not?

882
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a thing. But the mets up thing it was,

883
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 4: it was. It was a serious issue.

884
00:54:08,160 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 2: You're not wrong, Yes, yes, there was their their height.

885
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it just has too much. You know, Looney couldn't

886
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 3: even be he didn't need to play.

887
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 2: You got to sit down, yeah, I mean, and by

888
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: the way, he hasn't really gotten back up since.

889
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 4: That's true. I mean, he was the story of their

890
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 4: run last year. Two years ago, two years ago, twenty

891
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 4: two point twenty two rebounds, and again all of these

892
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 4: things and then just completely taken completely out.

893
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,400
Speaker 2: Uh and and he just had he had the second

894
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 2: longest consecutive game streak in the NBA and it just

895
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 2: got snapped the other night on a DNP coach's decision.

896
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 2: He's totally out of the rotation. Just like in basketball,

897
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,400
Speaker 2: a successful game plan starts with the right players. The

898
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 2: team at Tractor Supply brings hustle and heart, and that's

899
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,880

00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 2: like popping around with us. They're like, come on, let's

929
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 2: do a request. What do you want to come back?

930
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 2: It's like if you do that, you you you can

931
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 2: do that, but you gotta stay. You gotta stay with us, now,

932
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,920
Speaker 2: can you can? You can't go off into the land

933
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 2: of an Amazon Alexa and just start singing for the

934
00:57:08,600 --> 00:57:11,759
Speaker 2: rest of the show. So anyway, there's your request. I

935
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 2: hope you enjoyed it. We enjoyed listening to you sing

936
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 2: for sure. Tylou says that the Clippers have extreme schedule mishaps,

937
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 2: if you will, and maybe not mishaps. That might not

938
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: be the right word, but it's funny. Doc Rivers even

939
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: had his back because Doc used to host the Clippers,

940
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 2: coach the Clippers, and they are the Lakers little brother.

941
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 2: It does not matter who's good, It does not matter

942
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:44,920
Speaker 2: what's going on in the standings. If you've never been

943
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: to LA, you don't understand the dynamic, and that is

944
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 2: that a bad Laker team is still way more compelling

945
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 2: than a good Clipper team. I don't make the rules.

946
00:57:54,840 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: That's how it works in Los Angeles sports fandom, in media,

947
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: that's the deal. So what happens is as long as

948
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 2: they're sharing a building, which will only happen for the

949
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: remainder of this season and then no more. But as

950
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,439
Speaker 2: long as they're sharing a building, the Clippers always get

951
00:58:12,840 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 2: opening act credits. So if there are Sunday games and

952
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 2: they flip the floors out in between and there's a

953
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 2: twelve thirty tip and a six thirty tip, the Lakers

954
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,880
Speaker 2: get the six thirty because.

955
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. Right.

956
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 2: So the Clippers have this thing that rarely happens in

957
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 2: the NBA, which is back to back day games. And

958
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,440
Speaker 2: Tylu called it extreme and Doc Rivers said, it's wild.

959
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 2: Your body's not used to it can't handle it. It's very,

960
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 2: very difficult and challenging. And I'm trying to figure out

961
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:54,120
Speaker 2: the difference between back to back day games versus back

962
00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 2: to back night games is what You're basically like. They're like,

963
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 2: we had two tip offs in twenty two hours? Oh

964
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: you did? Did you know that? The Chicago Bulls and

965
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 2: all of their starting players played north of thirty eight

966
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: minutes in Utah the other night and then flew to

967
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 2: another city and one another basketball game twenty three hours later.

968
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 2: But the Clippers in their same city could not even

969
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 2: fathom the idea of a twelve thirty tipoff followed by

970
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 2: a twelve thirty tip off the next day? What are

971
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 2: we to do with such unfairness in professional sports? Man?

972
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 4: Look, this is why nobody be liking the Clippers. Okay, look,

973
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,120
Speaker 4: I mean this is one of the many reasons. The

974
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 4: main reasons is Clipper fans are delusional, much like cowboy

975
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 4: fans without any of the championships. So that makes you

976
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 4: even crazier because you could see, all right, we have it.

977
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 4: There is championship and winning in our pedigree. But as

978
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:32,920
Speaker 4: much as they talk about Chip City Clip City, you

979
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 4: can have the best stadium in the league and you

980
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:39,320
Speaker 4: can have the wall, which is you have to be

981
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 4: a Clipper fan to be in the wall. In my opinion,

982
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 4: they put too many seats there. I don't know how

983
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 4: you're gonna feel the wall every game. But okay, this look,

984
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 4: I don't have a problem with the Clippers outside of

985
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 4: them laying claimed. You know, you see the billboards around town.

986
01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 4: This our town, we run this. What are you running?

987
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 4: And where you're running it? To get one? Just one.

988
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 4: I didn't say it's seventeen. I said get one, just it.

989
01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 4: Just get one so you can enter the conversation. That's

990
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 4: always that's that's that's it. So that's my look. I

991
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,840
Speaker 4: like Kawhi Leonard San Diego State. I like PG Paul George.

992
01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 4: Wish you would have came to the Lakers. I like

993
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 4: TYLERU wish the Lakers would have hired him.

994
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: You love Russell Westbrook right hashtag former Laker Well.

995
01:01:48,680 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 4: I like Russell I like Russell. You and I like Russell.

996
01:01:54,440 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 4: I just what I did. Look what it is. Start

997
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 4: with him at something. I just like the Lakers. Okay,

998
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 4: I love his energy, but he.

999
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 2: Will his energy. I love it is ergy.

1000
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 3: He comes to play every day.

1001
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,080
Speaker 4: The problem is, that's what basketball IQ is important.

1002
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:19,040
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.

1003
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 3: It's very important.

1004
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:23,400
Speaker 2: It's very important.

1005
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:29,680
Speaker 4: And when it feels like it's diminishing, you can be

1006
01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 4: as athletic and fast and all about it as you want,

1007
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 4: but you got to make the right place at the

1008
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 4: right time. And that was the problem we were having

1009
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 4: with him at the Lakers. He just would just I know,

1010
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 4: I know, I mean he would We would be on

1011
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 4: a fifteen to one run and he would just come

1012
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 4: in and just disintegrated right here.

1013
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 2: Just run. He's like, I'm not stopping until someone in

1014
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 2: the fifth row.

1015
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 4: And I don't want to tearn this into a Westbrook

1016
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 4: bashing situation, because.

1017
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 2: Look kind of fun, it's kind of thought.

1018
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he went from making like forty million dollars

1019
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 4: last year to four Yeah, that alone will tell you.

1020
01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 3: What I'm talking about.

1021
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 4: You went for forty million, forty seven or whatever that

1022
01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 4: is to four million dollars. That's crazy talk. That's crazy.

1023
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 4: So you look, he works well with the Clippers. It's good.

1024
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:36,959
Speaker 4: You know, they got James Harden over there. You know, nobody,

1025
01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 4: none of them outside of Kawhi Leonard really has shown

1026
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 4: up in the playoffs.

1027
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 3: That's the problem.

1028
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean of late, yes, Yeah, Westbrook and Harden

1029
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 2: have had their moments many many years ago. And I

1030
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 2: like Terrence Man like, yeah, he's a good friend of mine.

1031
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 2: I like to you, we'll see. There's more to say

1032
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 2: on this. I do. I sometimes at the way we

1033
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 2: compliment players, as if this is like, you know what

1034
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 2: he does, he shows up to play every day. I'm

1035
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 2: in my post too, Well, we got a lot of

1036
01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:14,240
Speaker 2: guys not Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. I My mind

1037
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:16,280
Speaker 2: goes somewhere else. When I think of people who show

1038
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 2: up to play every day, I think of Steve de Sager.

1039
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 2: Steve de Sager shows up to play every damn day,

1040
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 2: and he does it for a lot less. I'm sorry

1041
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 2: to put this out there in the public. Yeah, a

1042
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 2: lot less than forty million dollars.

1043
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:33,479
Speaker 8: Not a union job. What can you say?

1044
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 2: Not a union game?

1045
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 8: You know, we talked about the NBA halftime score at

1046
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 8: New York tonight, Philadelphia was up on the next thirty

1047
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:44,440

1048
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,120
Speaker 8: end of the game here, and that was the low

1049
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 8: scoring first half in five years in the league. Right now,

01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:36,040
Speaker 8: Chicago seven to four over Arizona. NASCAR victory for Christopher

1081
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 8: Bell in Phoenix. Scottie Scheffler won the Arnold Palmer Invitational

1082
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:44,959
Speaker 8: in Orlando and Trevor Bauer was pitching at Dodger training camp.

1083
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 8: Today I will explain it was on a backfield at

1084
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 8: the Dodger Complex in the Phoenix area when he was

1085
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 8: pitching against Dodger minor leaguers in an exhibition game for

1086
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 8: a tryout club for players hoping to land pro contra,

1087
01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 8: which Bauer, at the age of thirty two, is trying

1088
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 8: to do. For what it's worth, he threw three scoreless innings.

1089
01:07:06,560 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 8: This is a guy who the Dodgers, of course let go.

1090
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 8: A couple of years ago, Bauer got the longest suspension

1091
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 8: under the MLB's domestic violence policy. For the record, he

1092
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 8: was never charged with a crime. Still very much wants

1093
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 8: to be signed by an MLB team, has not yet.

1094
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,360
Speaker 8: As for the regular Dodgers at spring training, they got

1095
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:28,840
Speaker 8: seven runs in the first inning, wound up beating the

1096
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 8: Diamondbacks twelve to one in Florida split squad game and

1097
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 8: a tie six to six Blue Jays against the Orioles.

1098
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, good stuff, Steve. Actually both

1099
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 2: of you can weigh in on this just because you

1100
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,080
Speaker 2: brought that up, like when you if somebody just landed

1101
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 2: on planet Earth and you're like longest suspension ever, still

1102
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 2: not signed, thirty two years old, never charged with anything,

1103
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 2: and the accuser has already come out and sort of

1104
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: been dragged through the mud herself and at least to

1105
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 2: some degree, caught lying in her own right. Why exactly

1106
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:12,240
Speaker 2: is it that Trevor Bauer seems so unsignable? Because I

1107
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 2: think he still is.

1108
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 8: He seemed like a pariah in his own clubhouse. Like

1109
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:20,440
Speaker 8: if the Dodgers had even if management had even considered

1110
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 8: re signing him at the time. I mean, this is

1111
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 8: before the two hundred games served or any of that, Like,

1112
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 8: there would have been a complete revolt from his teammates

1113
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 8: because they were so repulsed by the actual story, which

1114
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 8: I don't. I believe there are plenty of parts of

1115
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:36,639
Speaker 8: that that are unchallenged by either.

1116
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 2: Party, correct correct by either party? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1117
01:08:44,240 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: just like, I mean, how would you feel if your

1118
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,360
Speaker 2: team gave him a minor league contract? Give him a look?

1119
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:56,840
Speaker 8: I would say, how desperate are we?

1120
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 2: Exactly? That's a good that's a scene now. And I

1121
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: don't like what you just said, though, like how desperate

1122
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 2: are we? I don't think. I don't think there is

1123
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 2: a level that brings the team to that. But it's

1124
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:15,120
Speaker 2: just fascinating to me because it's one thing I think about,

1125
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 2: and this is in all areas of sport, where certain players,

1126
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 2: based on the way something is reported, the way it's

1127
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 2: sort of available to the public, someone becomes completely untouchable.

1128
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 2: Yet somebody who may do something even worse is easily

1129
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 2: given a path for a second, third, and fourth chance.

1130
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 2: And so I am not advocating a team signing Trevor Bauer.

1131
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 2: I just know people who have had sort of a

1132
01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 2: worse laundry list, if you will, have been given plenty

1133
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 2: of chances.

1134
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 8: So in sports and in life, you're right, it's completely inconsistent.

1135
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 4: It is, And it's just about how the information is

1136
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 4: uh is received and and and given, and.

1137
01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 2: It just.

1138
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 3: It was. It was.

1139
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 8: There's a level of stupidity on the players, right.

1140
01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 4: And also when your team doesn't want any to have

1141
01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 4: to deal with that's the thing, yes, right, the people

1142
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:24,680
Speaker 4: who are around you the most, they're like, now we're good.

1143
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 3: Right then that now you have to be like, oh okay.

1144
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 8: And they could have used them. They didn't a five

1145
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 8: man rotation the whole season last year. They had they

1146
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 8: had eleven pitchers on the injured list at the same

1147
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 8: time last year.

1148
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 2: They still potentially could. I mean, they've got they've got

1149
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:43,840
Speaker 2: a lot of names, but a lot of them question

1150
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 2: marks coming back from injury missing right now? Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. No,

1151
01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 2: I think you're both right that that's kind of the

1152
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 2: thing that gets people in the end, because we don't

1153
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 2: really have an opportunity to get to know these people,

1154
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 2: so you kind of take, uh, your take from the

1155
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 2: people who do. And I don't even necessarily know how

1156
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 2: true that was. I mean, I think it was true,

1157
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 2: but I don't even know how introduced we were to

1158
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 2: the Dodger teammates all not wanting him back. We sort

1159
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 2: of heard it. It was like under the covers a

1160
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: little bit. And I think you guys are both right.

1161
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 2: I think that's the thing that prevents it going forward,

1162
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 2: is that seeped out into the public.

1163
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, because if it was all quiet, and you know,

1164
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 4: all this time had passed and he was a guy

1165
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 4: in the locker room that was accept it, then that's

1166
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 4: a different story. You don't create friction in your locker

1167
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 4: room bringing him back. Now you may deal with some

1168
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 4: public opinion hits and all of that, but what you

1169
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 4: can't do as an owner in any sport is disrupt

1170
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 4: your clubhouse, your locker room, whatever like that.

1171
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 3: You cannot do.

1172
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Steve, will you play the sound of that time that

1173
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 2: another major leaguer went public with the idea that Trevor

1174
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 2: Bauer should be allowed back in.

1175
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 8: Hold on, let me look for that. Yeah, I think

1176
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 8: this answers your question as soon as you asked it.

1177
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 8: That they didn't even want to talk about it, and

1178
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 8: this was three years ago. Where again, I don't think

1179
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 8: it's denied by either party that there was. There were

1180
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 8: two encounters between the player and a woman. Details went

1181
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 8: through legal channels, and there was settlement of a civil case.

1182
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,799
Speaker 8: And nobody wants to touch him as a major league pitcher.

1183
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:35,679
Speaker 8: He pitched in Japan last year.

1184
01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to happen no matter what

1185
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 2: he does. TIRAQ dot Com Studios, Thank you, Steve with

1186
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 2: me from Salama Mark Willard. I'm not down with that

1187
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 2: Clipper thing yet. And I can tell that you could

1188
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 2: do this all night long. So a little bit more

1189
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 2: on that coming up next Top of the hour. Kirk Cousins,

1190
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: what should he do? All of that? Still ahead? Fox

1191
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 2: Sports Radio? All Right, tyreight dot com Studios. You know what,

1192
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 2: I think that whole thing that Clipper deal is where

1193
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 2: they're like, yeah, you can't You're can't play at twelve

1194
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 2: thirty and then play again the next day at twelve

1195
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:20,480
Speaker 2: thirty is impossible for the body clock. And I'm like, well,

1196
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:26,200
Speaker 2: maybe it's that NBA players are kind of like teenagers.

1197
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 2: I don't know, I have an idea, go to bed.

1198
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 3: Too much money to just go to bed? Man, Come on,

1199
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 3: well no, but.

1200
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 2: Really right, I mean, and yeah, but the clocks changed,

1201
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 2: you're already gonna lose an hour of sleep.

1202
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that daylight saving time told me up today.

1203
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute, right, well, I'm looking outside

1204
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,719
Speaker 2: right now, I'm like, is it it's what, it's almost

1205
01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 2: seven o'clock. We could still go out and play catch,

1206
01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 2: but anyway, go to bed. The reason that a day

1207
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 2: game fallowed by a day game is harder than a

1208
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 2: night game followed by a night game. It's because y'all

1209
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 2: go out till two or three in the morning, and

1210
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 2: then you have to get up and play and be

1211
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 2: at the arena at ten o'clock the next morning, as

1212
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:13,840
Speaker 2: opposed to if you do that after a night game.

1213
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Do you sleep until one o'clock in the afternoon and

1214
01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 2: everything's fine. It's not that I'm supposed to be I'm

1215
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:24,679
Speaker 2: supposed to feel sorry for you. It's no difficult. Every

1216
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 2: parent ever has had this conversation. Kids having a hard

1217
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 2: time getting to school on time. Right, I got a

1218
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:34,360
Speaker 2: crazy idea, go to bed.

1219
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 4: I always tell parents as a coach, number one, apologize

1220
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:42,240
Speaker 4: for the voice. That's why it's a little deeper, a

1221
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 4: little very whitish. Big weekend of baseball and basketball. So

1222
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 4: I just want to throw out there just I'm proud

1223
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 4: of my all star team. I was tasked with coaching

1224
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:02,680
Speaker 4: the minors All Star team UH in the Valley for

1225
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:04,600
Speaker 4: the second straight year, and we made it all the

1226
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 4: way to the championship Lolls by four last season. And

1227
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:12,559
Speaker 4: they asked me to tap back in and UH had

1228
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:14,960
Speaker 4: our first game in this tournament that will go for

1229
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 4: two weeks on Saturday. It was intense. This is hoops,

1230
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 4: as this is hoops.

1231
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 2: We won.

1232
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 4: We had at eight o'clock eight am baseball game that

1233
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 4: we won earlier.

1234
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 3: Got it and then is that just getting started?

1235
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:27,760
Speaker 2: Right?

1236
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 3: Baseball just getn't start? That was our last preseason game.

1237
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 4: Actually got it and then we had a you know,

1238
01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 4: a tournament, uh, an all star tournament game.

1239
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:41,120
Speaker 3: At three pm.

1240
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:46,000
Speaker 4: So uh and any coaches out there know what I'm

1241
01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:48,679
Speaker 4: talking about, especially if you coach nine to ten year olds,

1242
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 4: there will.

1243
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 3: Be yelling involved.

1244
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:57,440
Speaker 4: And and then we'll be yelling involved constantly, constantly, constantly,

1245
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 4: constantly yes.

1246
01:15:58,920 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 2: And you know you don't mean you undressing them for

1247
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 2: their It's just trying to tell them where to be.

1248
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,040
Speaker 3: You got to be where you're supposed to be. It

1249
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 3: doesn't work if you're not.

1250
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 4: And for some reason, about like a goldfish, like every

1251
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 4: three seconds, they forget whether we're in zone, whether we're

1252
01:16:19,400 --> 01:16:21,479
Speaker 4: man and man, whether we in pressed. The thing that

1253
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 4: hates me that I dislike. I don't hate any any

1254
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 4: of it. Thing I dislike the most is when we're

1255
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:33,400
Speaker 4: in pressed and my guards are valuable to the press.

1256
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 4: If they score, they want to celebrate. So they score,

1257
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 4: and instead of turning right around and getting right into

1258
01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 4: the press, they're all the way at half court looking

1259
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 4: at Mom and Dad are in the stands, and I'm screaming.

1260
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:54,799
Speaker 3: Where are you going? Where are you going?

1261
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 2: The press coach, I'm trying to get on Instagram, what

1262
01:16:58,080 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 2: do you mean? Where am I golf?

1263
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 4: Pressed doesn't work if you're not in it, and so

1264
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:08,760
Speaker 4: I spent a lot of my time reminding them that, hey,

1265
01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 4: we're trying to work on something here, but when you're

1266
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 4: up by twenty, they won't allow you to of court.

1267
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 4: You're right to press anymore. So then I have to

1268
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:24,760
Speaker 4: switch off to hey, you have to still be aggressive,

1269
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 4: even though when they come across half court.

1270
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 3: Let's not.

1271
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,679
Speaker 4: Forget. We did win thirty six to six. I believe though,

1272
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 4: but thirty six to six, damn.

1273
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 2: I a question for you. I got a question for you.

1274
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 2: Since you brought up you sports, I got a question

1275
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,800
Speaker 2: for you. I'm not going to say that this is

1276
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:47,000
Speaker 2: from personal experience. I'm not going to say that this

1277
01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 2: happened yesterday to my ten year old son. I'm not

1278
01:17:49,360 --> 01:17:52,919
Speaker 2: going to say that. I won't say that. I certainly

1279
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:55,920
Speaker 2: would not say that. But I would love to know

1280
01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 2: your particular perspective on how a coach, and less so parents,

1281
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,839
Speaker 2: because I largely think parents to just like just encourage

1282
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 2: people and shut the hell up outside of that, you

1283
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, don't don't talk to the

1284
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 2: ref if you're a parent, Oh you can't, don't do

1285
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 2: it just it doesn't matter.

1286
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 4: But what.

1287
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 2: I'm not saying this happened yesterday where you go into

1288
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,320
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter of a playoff game up by double

1289
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:33,160
Speaker 2: digits and and and lose a game, oh no, where

1290
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 2: where where the whole gym starts to get excited about

1291
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:45,080
Speaker 2: a comeback and referees start allowing four step euros. Oh no,

1292
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 2: but four balls are getting laid in when they've been

1293
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: calling it tight for three quarters. What coach do you

1294
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 2: do in that I'm not saying that happened yesterday to

1295
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:02,919
Speaker 2: my family, Ephraim, what do you do in that situation?

1296
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 4: The only thing you can do is Number one, parents

1297
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 4: should never talk to the coach. And I'm adamant about

1298
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 4: speaking speaking to the parents prior to the game.

1299
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 3: I'll handle it. It's my job.

1300
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 4: I tell my kids at no point ever should you

1301
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,480
Speaker 4: ever say anything to the referee.

1302
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 3: That's not your job. It's my job.

1303
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 4: Once they know that, they don't have to focus on that,

1304
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 4: they can focus on their job. And so, first of all,

1305
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 4: make it a point to go speak to the rest

1306
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 4: before the game, at halftime timeouts, just to get clarification

1307
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 4: on something. You have to inject yourself in a way

1308
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 4: that's not aggressive, that make them hate you. So that's

1309
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 4: the only thing you can do. But you got to

1310
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 4: get your team to focus on them and not what

1311
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 4: the refs are calling.

1312
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 5: It's difficult to do at that age. But you're damn right,

1313
01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 5: You're damn right. I mean, we did the only thing

1314
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 5: you can do after the game, Ephraim. You know, we

1315
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 5: went and got a go cheese sound. That's it, that's

1316
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:06,599
Speaker 5: all you can do.

1317
01:20:07,080 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that this happened to us yesterday, Ephraim

1318
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 2: on Fox Sports Radio. A little bit in life, you

1319
01:20:14,920 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 2: know that what's over there with that green grass is

1320
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 2: always a pole. It's always a pole. But I do

1321
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 2: think the older that you get, the more you stop

1322
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 2: and you go hold on a second, Like, let's think

1323
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,759
Speaker 2: about this for a minute or two, or twelve or fifty.

1324
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 2: Is it really better somewhere else or is it just

1325
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 2: new and exciting And maybe new and exciting is good

1326
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:48,120
Speaker 2: enough to make a move or maybe maybe not. So

1327
01:20:48,160 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 2: we're broadcasting live from the tyrac dot com studios. Tyrack

Speaker 2: thousand recommended installers, Tyrack dot Com the way tire buying

1331
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 2: it'd be. I mean, there's justin Jefferson, there's Jordan Addison,

1332
01:21:04,760 --> 01:21:11,959
Speaker 2: there's weather controlled environment and a place where you've largely

1333
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 2: had tremendous stats and mostly winning seasons. But if you're

1334
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, are you going to Atlanta? Because it sort

1335
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 2: of feels to me like the Tea Leaves, and I've

1336
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:24,719
Speaker 2: got two of them. I don't know whether to fully

1337
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 2: listen to them from but the Tea Leaves suggests to

1338
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 2: me that kirk Cousins might play for the Falcons next year.

1339
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 2: But first and foremost, what would you do if you

1340
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:39,040
Speaker 2: were him?

1341
01:21:39,080 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 4: I think that's a good fit for him. I think

1342
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 4: number one, he's gonna make a bunch of money. That's

1343
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 4: his mo. They're gonna give him the money he deserves it.

1344
01:21:54,120 --> 01:21:58,080
Speaker 4: I think if you're you're building in Atlanta's young, they

1345
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 4: got some young, dynamic offensive players, and I think bringing

1346
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 4: someone in like kirk Cousins to help you get back

1347
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 4: on a winning track once again. In that division it's

1348
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 4: wide open, yep. And I think that's the smart move

1349
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 4: because now you're really fighting it to Baker Mayfield. Kirk

1350
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 4: Cousins type of situation the two throwaways, right, and it

1351
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:35,320
Speaker 4: gives you, like, first of all, I love Atlanta's just

1352
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 4: a great franchise. It's a great team to play for.

1353
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:41,680
Speaker 4: Spent my first four years there, so you know, I

1354
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:46,160
Speaker 4: just the city, the energy. They really got it rocking

1355
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:52,599
Speaker 4: down there. I remember when we were, you know, becoming good.

1356
01:22:52,680 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 4: You know, first couple of games, wasn't nobody thereed and

1357
01:22:55,240 --> 01:22:57,679
Speaker 4: we start winning and this jar just going and going

1358
01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,559
Speaker 4: and going and going, and then it was just you know, boom,

1359
01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,680
Speaker 4: you go and it's held. You know, you get a

1360
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:07,719
Speaker 4: whole concert at halftime. People perform, not that the players

1361
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 4: get to see it, but the energy around the team

1362
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 4: is there. And as we know, Kirk Cousins just wants

1363
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,600
Speaker 4: to be wanted. He just wants to be wanted. And

1364
01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that. Like I just sometimes we just

1365
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 4: want to hug. I just I just just want me.

1366
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,760
Speaker 4: I want to come home and be wanted. And so

1367
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:31,520
Speaker 4: I think it's a good fit for him. Me personally,

1368
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:36,600
Speaker 4: I think Atlanta would benefit immensely from having someone like

1369
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousin under center.

1370
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 2: I do think this about the Atlanta Falcons. I think

1371
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 2: they are add water and put in the Oven like

1372
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,479
Speaker 2: I really you look, and maybe I do have some

1373
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 2: questions about the defensive side of the football, and I

1374
01:23:52,439 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 2: just mentioned it like Minnesota skill position is in pretty

1375
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 2: good shape. But also, if I'm Kirk Cousins and I'm

1376
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 2: going into my late thirties, what do I really like

1377
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 2: I really want out of my next spot. I think

1378
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 2: there's one answer to this, and I think as a

1379
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,519
Speaker 2: former offensive lineman, you'll appreciate it. You know what I

1380
01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:15,800
Speaker 2: want going into my late thirties, I'm gonna get my

1381
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 2: guaranteed money, I'm going to be wanted for sure, I'm

1382
01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 2: gonna be a franchise quarterback. But what I really want

1383
01:24:23,360 --> 01:24:27,200
Speaker 2: a run game. I really, I really, I really want

1384
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 2: a run game. If I'm Kirk Cousins, I want to

1385
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 2: play with Bijon Robinson and and a tight end. Yeah,

1386
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 2: I really exactly, I really And the receiving core is

1387
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,519
Speaker 2: there is interesting. I do think Drake London is somebody

1388
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,719
Speaker 2: who if there was a quarterback there, that's that's somebody

1389
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 2: who's absolutely capable of a thousand yard season, no question

1390
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,719
Speaker 2: in my mind. And so the add in the division

1391
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 2: right because now here come the Packers and the Lions

1392
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 2: are really good. It is a much easier path to

1393
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:00,600
Speaker 2: the playoffs. And with the Vikings cutting down Cook and

1394
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison in back to back years and by the way,

1395
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:07,799
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson is still up in the air, like what's

1396
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 2: going on there in the future. It does feel and

1397
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:16,200
Speaker 2: this is rare, but to move elsewhere feels more stable.

1398
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, get out start fresh man. One man's trash,

1399
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 4: another man's treasure. Like that idea of feeling well, like

1400
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,759
Speaker 4: you walk into a locker room and people are excited

1401
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,120
Speaker 4: you're there. It's nothing like that, I'm telling you. And

1402
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 4: it's like that in life at work anywhere you go,

1403
01:25:45,240 --> 01:25:47,280
Speaker 4: or when you come to work and I see Steve

1404
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:52,680
Speaker 4: and he looks at me and he hugs me, you know,

1405
01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, I'm home. The warm embrace of Steve

1406
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:01,000
Speaker 4: de Siggers. It's a welcome when I come to work.

1407
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 4: But I think I think it's good. I think that'll

1408
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 4: be a good fit for him, and we'll see how

1409
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 4: it shakes out, but I think it would be a

1410
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:12,240
Speaker 4: great fit.

1411
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 2: Tea leaves are I mentioned that there are a couple

1412
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,760
Speaker 2: of tea leaves, and one of them is much more

1413
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,360
Speaker 2: black and white. The other one is a little abstract.

1414
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 2: But Pro Football Talk put out a report a couple

1415
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 2: of days ago that Kirk was house shopping in the

1416
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 2: Atlanta area. I always take those with a grain of salt.

1417
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 2: I feel like we've get the real estate story comes

1418
01:26:32,560 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 2: out all the time, and I'm like, that never leads

1419
01:26:35,600 --> 01:26:38,400
Speaker 2: to anything. What are you all doing? These people make

1420
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars a year, they might just buy a house.

1421
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 3: Everywhere, any and everywhere.

1422
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:47,320
Speaker 2: Well, the whole thing was funny because it's like, he's

1423
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 2: shopping for real estate in the Atlanta area and his

1424
01:26:50,800 --> 01:26:54,559
Speaker 2: wife's family is from Alfaretta, Georgia, and they're still there.

1425
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 2: And I wanted to almost yell at the article. I'm like,

1426
01:26:58,000 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 2: did you consider that maybe he's looking for real estate

1427
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 2: there because the family's there, not because he's about to

1428
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 2: play for the Atlanta Falcons. However, take that tea leave

1429
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,479
Speaker 2: and then throw this one in. Maybe this is just

1430
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 2: written a certain way. But cbssports dot Com had a

1431
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 2: story today and they've had two different headlines. The one

1432
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 2: that's currently up about Cousins is Cousins is going to

1433
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:32,080
Speaker 2: test free agency and keep in touch with the Vikings.

1434
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 2: The earlier article its headline was cousins will inform the

1435
01:27:38,600 --> 01:27:42,680
Speaker 2: vikings of his plans on Sunday. Well, first of all,

1436
01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:47,360
Speaker 2: today's Sunday and it's getting late. But second of all,

1437
01:27:47,439 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, just feel the word choice there. Feel that

1438
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:57,320
Speaker 2: for a second. We he's going to inform the vikings

1439
01:27:58,120 --> 01:28:02,800
Speaker 2: of his plans on and he's going to keep in touch.

1440
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: Tell you what, Grab your phone right now, go to

1441
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 2: the search bar of your text message. Okay, write the

1442
01:28:10,760 --> 01:28:15,320
Speaker 2: words keep in touch. See all those messages that come up.

1443
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 2: How many of them did you keep in touch with? Right?

1444
01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,880
Speaker 2: Keep in touch is no different than an emoji. It's

1445
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 2: what you use to end a conversation. If somebody gives

1446
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 2: you the fist bump or the thumbs up, it's their

1447
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:33,639
Speaker 2: way of being like, cool, we could here, great, I'm

1448
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 2: out on this conversation. Keep in touch is what you

1449
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,160
Speaker 2: write at the end of that paragraph in the yearbook

1450
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:42,679
Speaker 2: when you're in high school. It's what you say because

1451
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 2: you've got nothing else to say. Mike, that's a terrible

1452
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,479
Speaker 2: if he literally said to them we're going to keep

1453
01:28:49,520 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 2: in touch. Oh he gone, He's gone. That's how it

1454
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 2: feels to me.

1455
01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, absolutely.

1456
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:05,120
Speaker 2: Where the vikings where the Vikings pivot, then if that's

1457
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 2: the way it goes, I don't know, I really don't.

1458
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 4: It's uh, you look at the situation and you look

1459
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 4: up who's on the market out there, right?

1460
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 3: Who's there? Do you go get justin fields? Do you?

1461
01:29:23,560 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 3: Could you even do that?

1462
01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:26,839
Speaker 2: Like you're going to do a trade within the division?

1463
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 2: I mean are the Bears for that? Yeah?

1464
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,360
Speaker 3: With the Bears don't care. They don't care.

1465
01:29:34,720 --> 01:29:38,800
Speaker 4: Okay, I give them a third draft pick, you give

1466
01:29:38,880 --> 01:29:41,240
Speaker 4: up the third like if you can, if you can

1467
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 4: hold pat because I think about five teams in the

1468
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 4: top ten want quarterbacks or could use a quarterback or would.

1469
01:29:47,560 --> 01:29:48,400
Speaker 3: Get a quarterback.

1470
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 2: Okay, let's say the Bears do Bears. Let's say right, right,

1471
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,439
Speaker 2: Bears commanders pat Tremanders three.

1472
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 3: Yep.

1473
01:29:54,840 --> 01:29:56,960
Speaker 2: We already talked about how the Cardinals.

1474
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 9: Or they should but there won't they should? But yeah

1475
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:05,559
Speaker 9: at the sand then the Chargers chargers no, No, Then

1476
01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 9: the Giants same as Cardinals.

1477
01:30:07,439 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 4: But they really really shit, I think they might. I'm

1478
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 4: really thinking the Giants might. Seriously, even at number six,

1479
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 4: I believe.

1480
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,480
Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, what about the Titans?

1481
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:23,599
Speaker 3: Are they doing so they're going to get? Well?

1482
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:28,639
Speaker 2: Okay, and then there's and then there's the Falcons, who,

1483
01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:32,839
Speaker 2: in theory, based on this concept, they are signing Kirk Cousins.

1484
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 4: But if they do, they're not doing that. If they don't,

1485
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 4: and they do, right, take a quarterback. That's five, and

1486
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,479
Speaker 4: that's what eight at nine.

1487
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:44,080
Speaker 2: Then and then and then it's the Bears again, and

1488
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,519
Speaker 2: then the Bears again, and then it's the Jets, and

1489
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:49,320
Speaker 2: who knows what the Jets are going to do because

1490
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,599
Speaker 2: they really should get one.

1491
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,160
Speaker 4: They should, they really should get one. This will be

1492
01:30:55,160 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 4: the perfect opportunity for them to do that.

1493
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:02,640
Speaker 2: But at number ten, at number ten were perfect Okay,

1494
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 2: why because what do we get?

1495
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:08,160
Speaker 3: We have in this quarterback class? We have? What five?

1496
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 2: Right? We have? What were you about to say? Sure fire?

1497
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:16,200
Speaker 2: I did not.

1498
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,799
Speaker 4: I definitely stopped. You were about to I stopped? Okay,

1499
01:31:19,880 --> 01:31:25,760
Speaker 4: don't you don't? You dare exactly so you have get

1500
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 4: out here beat it? Uh? You have uh Drake, you

1501
01:31:33,240 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 4: have Caleb Williams, Drake May Uh, Jayden Daniels. You have

1502
01:31:41,680 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 4: Michael Pennix bow Knicks. Yep, you have that's five. Okay,

1503
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 4: you have who else? We got exactly? Well exactly some

1504
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,240
Speaker 4: one of them will be available at that at that

1505
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:05,520
Speaker 4: mark for sure. So if I'm the Jets, I mean, yeah,

1506
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 4: that's what you want.

1507
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 2: I feel you bring him in, have him sit behind.

1508
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 2: Look how I worked out for Jordan Love. Okay, so Minnesota,

1509
01:32:13,520 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 2: let's go go get Russell Wilson.

1510
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 4: Oh, perfect, that'd be perfect. That's it. That's what you need.

1511
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 4: That's what you need.

1512
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 2: Wis okay. I think you got a battle. You got

1513
01:32:23,120 --> 01:32:25,280
Speaker 2: a battle of Steelers. I think the Raider should get Russell.

1514
01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:28,280
Speaker 2: Of course, the Raiders should. I think the Raiders should.

1515
01:32:28,600 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 2: I think the shot Wilson honestly, Wait, okay, look at

1516
01:32:33,080 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 2: this from the other side. Then you're Russell Wilson. Where

1517
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:39,680
Speaker 2: do you want to go? Man? You want to go

1518
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 2: to the Raiders. You're going to be in Mahomes and Herberts.

1519
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,760
Speaker 3: Today that you want to go to the Steelers.

1520
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 2: You're battling Burrow. Hey man, you or do you want

1521
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 2: to go to Minnesota and battle Jared Goff and Jordan Love.

1522
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 3: I don't think.

1523
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:03,479
Speaker 4: In this situation, and I don't think it's a it's

1524
01:33:03,520 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 4: a like Russell. I don't think he's gonna run away

1525
01:33:06,080 --> 01:33:10,080
Speaker 4: from the competition because he considers himself one of those

1526
01:33:10,120 --> 01:33:12,479
Speaker 4: type of quarterbacks right now, if you're trying to hide

1527
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 4: you honestly just here speaking like, if you're trying to hide,

1528
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 4: then yeah, I get it. I don't think he will

1529
01:33:18,240 --> 01:33:21,000
Speaker 4: make a decision based on who's in the division.

1530
01:33:21,520 --> 01:33:26,800
Speaker 2: Okay, but except for one exception, right Pat, I mean

1531
01:33:27,600 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 2: I not like you know what I mean, I honestly

1532
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 2: literally thought of this with Jim Harbaugh. It's like, dude,

1533
01:33:35,600 --> 01:33:39,599
Speaker 2: you're gonna lose. I hate it, you know what I mean, Like,

1534
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 2: you're you're gonna lose. You can win the super Bowl

1535
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 2: out of the wild card, so it can be done,

1536
01:33:45,200 --> 01:33:46,120
Speaker 2: but you're gonna lose.

1537
01:33:49,200 --> 01:33:54,519
Speaker 4: It's to come this just the competitiveness that's as a player,

1538
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 4: you like you locked in, and how do you make

1539
01:33:56,960 --> 01:34:00,600
Speaker 4: yourself Once you find yourself on the other side of

1540
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 4: relevance and people are looking at you a different way

1541
01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 4: opposed to how they looked at you early in your career,

1542
01:34:08,720 --> 01:34:12,960
Speaker 4: then you're looking for things to switch the gaze back

1543
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:19,440
Speaker 4: that you've worked hard for. You're looking for that totally

1544
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:22,320
Speaker 4: because if now you're doing that game and you're like,

1545
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:25,559
Speaker 4: it's the Oakland Raiders against the Kansas City Chiefs, which

1546
01:34:25,600 --> 01:34:30,800
Speaker 4: they play them well every year, with no quarterback, then

1547
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:34,680
Speaker 4: it's a situation where all eyes are on you and

1548
01:34:34,720 --> 01:34:36,800
Speaker 4: you can rewrite whatever that narrative is.

1549
01:34:38,960 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 2: Let's keep up with Quarterback Matchmaker because we're just getting

1561
01:35:20,800 --> 01:35:25,040
Speaker 2: Here with you. Some interesting kind of breaking news that

1562
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 2: just hit about nine ten minutes ago. Did you see this?

1563
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:33,240
Speaker 2: What is it? One of the high priced forty nine

1564
01:35:33,360 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 2: ers is somewhat surprisingly on the market, and that would

1565
01:35:39,600 --> 01:35:45,920
Speaker 2: be defensive lineman Eric Armstead, who is going to be released. Wow,

1566
01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 2: in what no doubt is a salary cap move, but

1567
01:35:49,080 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 2: interesting wording in the way that this hit, and it

1568
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 2: was Jordan Schultz Bleacher Report who broke this news. Forty

1569
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:02,799
Speaker 2: nine er star defensive Linemank Armstead has decided to become

1570
01:36:02,840 --> 01:36:03,880
Speaker 2: a free agent.

1571
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 3: And will be released. Oh I know what that means.

1572
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 2: So that means he was told to pay cut or restructure, instructure, restructure,

1573
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,680
Speaker 2: and he said no, no, I'm good no, And they

1574
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:21,600
Speaker 2: then they said yeah. Then they said, uh, okay, you

1575
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 2: can play for somebody else next year. That's a big

1576
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:28,880
Speaker 2: that's a big move. And I wonder, I wonder sort

1577
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 2: of what the rearranging of the chairs for the forty

1578
01:36:32,520 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 2: nine ers means, because you know, damn well, they value

1579
01:36:36,280 --> 01:36:41,360
Speaker 2: the restructuring the defensive coaching staff. They value the defensive

1580
01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 2: line at a very high level. That's how they run

1581
01:36:44,280 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 2: their defense. It's d line first. So to move off

1582
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 2: of him, and he did have health problems, there's no

1583
01:36:49,800 --> 01:36:53,800
Speaker 2: question about it, suggests that they are going to add

1584
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 2: right back to that line in other spots. I wonder

1585
01:36:56,560 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 2: if this brings, you know, keeping Chase Young back into

1586
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:06,080
Speaker 2: the fold, because that was considered kind of impossible. Yeah.

1587
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:10,120
Speaker 4: I mean, look, the thing about having a team full

1588
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 4: of talent is at some point you're going to have

1589
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:19,080
Speaker 4: to figure out who can you live without, like who

1590
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 4: can you live without? Who can you be without? And

1591
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:28,880
Speaker 4: keep the integrity of the team and what you have built.

1592
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 4: And that's not a bad problem to be in. It hurts,

1593
01:37:41,280 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 4: you know, from every relationship standpoint, but we all know

1594
01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 4: this is a business. But the fact is you can't

1595
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 4: keep and pay everybody. It's impossible. If there was no

1596
01:37:52,360 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 4: salary cap, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. If

1597
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 4: there's no salary cap, Dallas Cowboys probably been back to

1598
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:01,840
Speaker 4: back Souper World champions because would have just paid everybody

1599
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 4: anything to get to you know.

1600
01:38:03,680 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 2: Whatever, Sure, sure, sure.

1601
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:08,559
Speaker 4: But you gotta do it within the guidelines of the

1602
01:38:08,560 --> 01:38:09,959
Speaker 4: collective bargaining agreement.

1603
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 3: So you gotta.

1604
01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:14,759
Speaker 4: You know, that's the tough part about being a GM

1605
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 4: and a president and the owner. You sit down at

1606
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 4: the end of the season and you look and you're like, okay,

1607
01:38:22,439 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 4: everybody's on the board, their money cap hit all of

1608
01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 4: these things, it's right up there. And then you say, okay,

1609
01:38:30,680 --> 01:38:35,120
Speaker 4: what do we need, what do we have? What can

1610
01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 4: we live without? And then you start this is this

1611
01:38:38,040 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 4: is happening the day after the season, and you start

1612
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 4: breaking it down and you circle the names that you

1613
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 4: could possibly live without. And Eric was one of those names.

1614
01:38:47,720 --> 01:38:49,519
Speaker 4: Well what if we can get them to restructure his

1615
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:52,200
Speaker 4: contract and we love to have them and you know

1616
01:38:52,280 --> 01:38:55,920
Speaker 4: and and you know players his age A He's just like, look, no,

1617
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm not willing to do that because the theme of

1618
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:05,599
Speaker 4: the show is one man's trash is another man's treasure.

1619
01:39:05,680 --> 01:39:11,120
Speaker 4: I remember when when New England let William Againnis go

1620
01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,559
Speaker 4: and he went to Cleveland. They threw a parade for

1621
01:39:14,680 --> 01:39:21,559
Speaker 4: him there. You know, because you get championship experience, you

1622
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,840
Speaker 4: get someone who's played at the highest level in the

1623
01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:28,920
Speaker 4: biggest games, and you add them to your young you know,

1624
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:36,560
Speaker 4: defensive line room and that leadership is invaluable. Those things

1625
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 4: that's invaluable, and so you want to, you know, for

1626
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:45,280
Speaker 4: the younger guys, build out a way for them to

1627
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 4: take some of that that knowledge and how to work

1628
01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:52,160
Speaker 4: and how to prepare, and you want to have it,

1629
01:39:52,479 --> 01:39:56,960
Speaker 4: you know, matriculate throughout the rooms and they do that

1630
01:39:57,000 --> 01:39:57,880
Speaker 4: at all positions.

1631
01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:04,599
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, I love this week, I really do. And

1632
01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 2: I mean that's not because of you know, anything kind

1633
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:12,040
Speaker 2: of personal on on this particular player. I'm a big fan.

1634
01:40:12,400 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 2: Eric Armstead is like either the or the finalists for

1635
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:21,160
Speaker 2: Walter Payton. Man is just a great human being and

1636
01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:24,719
Speaker 2: has been a tremendous football player for for the forty

1637
01:40:24,800 --> 01:40:28,600
Speaker 2: nine ers, no doubt about it. But it just immediately

1638
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:33,680
Speaker 2: makes your mind go, what do you have cooking? What

1639
01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 2: are you doing? Because their d line now for this

1640
01:40:36,439 --> 01:40:41,679
Speaker 2: moment is basically Nick Bosa and Javon Hargrave both making

1641
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 2: a ton of money. But but that's it, that's it,

1642
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 2: and it is it's a it's a team that focuses

1643
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 2: on that defensive line. So what and you know the

1644
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:59,120
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk sitting out their extension eligible and and all

1645
01:40:59,200 --> 01:41:02,680
Speaker 2: the NFL ts were told like a week or two

1646
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:06,880
Speaker 2: ago the salary cap figure and everyone went, oh, oh

1647
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:13,000
Speaker 2: that's more than what we were thinking, which immediately right, yeah, Mann,

1648
01:41:13,040 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 2: business is moment, so so now right that changes, Oh

1649
01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,960
Speaker 2: what can we go shopping for? So this week just

1650
01:41:22,040 --> 01:41:26,639
Speaker 2: gets so interesting to start to think about the who,

1651
01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,720
Speaker 2: the what, the where and what one move you know,

1652
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:32,479
Speaker 2: leads to the next. I mean, go back to this

1653
01:41:32,600 --> 01:41:36,160
Speaker 2: same team. Last year free agency opened. An hour later

1654
01:41:36,280 --> 01:41:40,679
Speaker 2: they signed Sam Darnold and a lot of people went, ooh,

1655
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,080
Speaker 2: they don't think brock Perty's healthy, And I went, no,

1656
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 2: they don't like Trey Lance. They don't. They don't like

1657
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:53,040
Speaker 2: Trey Lance. And so you just start to see one

1658
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 2: move gets made and I think you can start to

1659
01:41:55,200 --> 01:42:00,559
Speaker 2: put puzzle pieces together. And the NFL as always here.

1660
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 2: We are in the midst of the NBA run, the

1661
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 2: final stretch, baseball is about to start, and we're sitting

1662
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 2: here talking mostly NFL the night.

1663
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 4: This is Austin. Austin Reeves move was cold blooded. You

1664
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,800
Speaker 4: know what that move Austin Reeves is. You know he's

1665
01:42:16,840 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 4: finally coming into the player. We wanted him to be

1666
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:22,559
Speaker 4: with all the money, but that.

1667
01:42:22,479 --> 01:42:25,800
Speaker 2: Move he just did. I still love your wi your weed.

1668
01:42:25,960 --> 01:42:28,680
Speaker 3: That's where are we where we we are a.

1669
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 2: Witty bus just sitting around play in the future.

1670
01:42:32,200 --> 01:42:35,800
Speaker 3: We are a wee Okay, that's just what it is.

1671
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 2: You're about to do your lead up though to our guy.

1672
01:42:38,400 --> 01:42:42,000
Speaker 4: Well, I mean those moves remind me of someone on

1673
01:42:42,040 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 4: our our team who is deadly with the mic, like

1674
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:52,200
Speaker 4: best point guard handles ever, Kyrie level handles, you know,

1675
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:56,960
Speaker 4: Steph Curry level shooting, shock level dominance when the mic

1676
01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:00,639
Speaker 4: is in his in his hand, and that's one steam. Indeed,

1677
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:05,640
Speaker 4: the Sager de for dominant. Cue the music. There it

1678
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:07,719
Speaker 4: is fell asleep at the will moment.

1679
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 2: This Seger.

1680
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 8: Still hello there where we go?

1681
01:43:14,720 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 2: You see kids, He's saying hello.

1682
01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:19,640
Speaker 8: By the way, you were talking about last hour the

1683
01:43:19,640 --> 01:43:23,960

Speaker 8: Brian Seaman talked about this thing, the Clippers schedule this weekend.

1686
01:43:31,920 --> 01:43:34,920
Speaker 7: Give the Clippers a back to back day game situation,

1687
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,719
Speaker 7: the day of daylight savings time, and then they.

1688
01:43:38,680 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 2: Bumped the game up an hour.

1689
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 7: It's twenty two hours in between tip offs, which goes

1690
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:48,840
Speaker 7: against NBA protocol. A shameful scheduling situation, and those those

1691
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:50,760
Speaker 7: responsible shadeem farist.

1692

Speaker 8: Did you find anything still looking? Might have to get

1699
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:06,200
Speaker 8: back on that one.

1700
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, you keep us posted for those who are unaware.

1701
01:44:08,960 --> 01:44:11,840
Speaker 8: The Clippers, Uh, let's look at the schedule here did

1702
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:15,600
Speaker 8: not play a game Thursday Clippers did not play a

1703
01:44:15,600 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 8: game on Friday, but they are completely thrown by having

1704
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:23,639
Speaker 8: a Saturday afternoon game followed by a Sunday afternoon game

1705
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:29,280
Speaker 8: in the exact same building, and then, God with.

1706
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 2: God, they sat their players because somebody could have gotten killed.

1707
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,040
Speaker 3: Will show you, NBA, none of you guys.

1708
01:44:36,920 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 2: Have to play.

1709
01:44:38,439 --> 01:44:41,120
Speaker 8: They did ask their fans to show up both days players.

1710
01:44:41,200 --> 01:44:43,320
Speaker 8: I guess it was optional. So when they finally get

1711
01:44:43,360 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 8: back on the court Tuesday night, it'll be once again

1712

Speaker 8: right now in that building against the Laker.

1714
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:56,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think they can be expected to be

1715
01:44:56,920 --> 01:45:00,599
Speaker 2: to be at that game's I mean, I'm told Tuesday

1716

1793
01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:40,280

1795
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:51,760
Speaker 2: just extend adly was one of them, which I would

1796
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,200
Speaker 2: imagine is some sort of a reference to Adli Richman

1797
01:49:54,280 --> 01:49:57,880
Speaker 2: of the the Baltimore Orioles. Apparently there was another one.

1798
01:49:59,240 --> 01:50:06,320
Speaker 2: Snell wrote, Jordan Montgomery is a cub. Another one bring

1799

01:50:15,240 --> 01:50:21,880
Speaker 2: get it completely, But what's what's happening here? What's he

1802
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:22,599
Speaker 2: trying to say?

1803
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I don't speak board. I can't

1804

Speaker 2: and he sent out a picture of an axe.

1812
01:51:06,080 --> 01:51:10,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean it may be as simple as Blake

1813
01:51:10,920 --> 01:51:13,599
Speaker 3: is wasted that that could be it.

1814
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:16,640
Speaker 2: Or I don't even know if he has kids, but

1815
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:24,720

Speaker 2: boys head off with the phone and uh ruin your

1820
01:51:32,560 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 2: entire life? Absolutely not, which basically you could do if

1821
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 2: you grab someone's phone.

1822
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:38,719

1830
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:12,400

1831
01:52:12,520 --> 01:52:17,559

1832
01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 2: has options, Steelers, Vikings, sure, why not? Maybe Raiders? Where

1833
01:52:27,120 --> 01:52:31,320
Speaker 2: else though? And who else where do you think? Like

1834
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 2: start with this, who do you think is going rookie

1835
01:52:35,160 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 2: versus who's going veteran? Like, I think there are some

1836
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:44,719
Speaker 2: teams right now that are sort of stuck in the middle.

1837
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:47,679
Speaker 2: I think the Vikings will certainly try to find a veteran.

1838
01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers will try to find a veteran.

1839
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:51,880
Speaker 2: Those are two teams that probably think they can win

1840
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 2: right now. So and they're also not in the draft

1841
01:52:55,439 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 2: position to go rookie others. It's very obvious from the Patriots,

1842
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:05,760
Speaker 2: probably the Bears, the Washington Commanders, they're going to be

1843
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:09,760
Speaker 2: bouncing around the draft. But what about a Raiders, what

1844
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:14,160
Speaker 2: about a Broncos? What do you think they're doing? So?

1845
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:15,360
Speaker 3: I think.

1846
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 4: Draft position and talent are the two things that will

1847
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:29,840
Speaker 4: dictate what these teams are trying to do. So when

1848
01:53:29,880 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 4: you look at the Denver Broncos, they're at twelve. Can

1849
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:38,559
Speaker 4: you get your next guy at twelve at the quarterback position?

1850
01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 4: To go with a team that needs a few upgrades. Defensively,

1851
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:49,439
Speaker 4: they're not the defensive team that they were.

1852
01:53:52,200 --> 01:53:52,639
Speaker 2: And to.

1853
01:53:55,120 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 4: You know, really find when Kubiak was there, when Shanahan

1854
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:06,600
Speaker 4: was there, you could just find a running back anywhere,

1855
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:11,839
Speaker 4: but that's not the case anymore. You really need somebody

1856
01:54:11,880 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 4: to tote to rock.

1857
01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 3: And so.

1858
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 4: Are they a quarterback away or a veteran quarterback away

1859
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 4: from went? Well, we just saw them get Russell Wilson

1860
01:54:23,360 --> 01:54:28,320
Speaker 4: and it didn't work. So what do you do here?

1861
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:29,720
Speaker 2: Now?

1862
01:54:29,720 --> 01:54:31,920
Speaker 4: If you can trade up and get one of those guys,

1863
01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:34,080
Speaker 4: if you like one of those guys, I would recommend

1864
01:54:34,080 --> 01:54:38,960
Speaker 4: them do that, and now you can build around whoever

1865
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:46,240
Speaker 4: that is. Whoever you feel is that mark right? Can

1866
01:54:46,280 --> 01:54:51,600
Speaker 4: you move up to five? Can you move up to

1867
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 4: you know, I don't know everybody else wants a quarterback,

1868
01:54:57,760 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 4: so Arizona, can you move the four or five?

1869
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:04,360
Speaker 2: Do you even think that they're thinking that way?

1870
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:05,880
Speaker 3: Well, I would think you would have to.

1871
01:55:07,480 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 4: I would you would have to just think about the

1872
01:55:10,800 --> 01:55:13,520
Speaker 4: dead money hit that they're about eighty nine million dollars.

1873
01:55:14,880 --> 01:55:17,120
Speaker 4: So how do you how do you get yourself in

1874
01:55:17,120 --> 01:55:21,040
Speaker 4: a situation where you can still get talent at that

1875
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:23,560
Speaker 4: position and not have to really.

1876
01:55:25,120 --> 01:55:26,360
Speaker 3: Pay sure.

1877
01:55:27,000 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 4: Sure, So the best movie, the best move would be

1878
01:55:30,800 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 4: to find that guy on a rookie deal that gives

1879
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:36,520
Speaker 4: you leverage and leeway to maneuver.

1880
01:55:37,640 --> 01:55:40,400
Speaker 3: So do you trade up? You at look.

1881
01:55:40,280 --> 01:55:43,440
Speaker 4: At this point, with that much money, that much dead

1882
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,200
Speaker 4: money against the cap, you would have to do something

1883
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 4: drastic to get from underneath it. A r it's going

1884
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 4: to hold you hostage for the next three four years.

1885
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 4: So yeah, I would.

1886
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 3: I would.

1887
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 4: I can see them moving up to four. I can

1888
01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:00,680
Speaker 4: see them moving up to five to grab one of

1889
01:56:00,680 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 4: those quarterbacks. To me, that makes sense. What about you?

1890
01:56:03,560 --> 01:56:06,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Arizona Cardinals is an interesting position.

1891
01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:10,440
Speaker 2: You and I talked about them last week. If I

1892
01:56:10,480 --> 01:56:14,320
Speaker 2: were them, I would be Denver broncos in it all

1893
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:16,440
Speaker 2: over the place. I'd be doing the exact same thing

1894
01:56:16,480 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 2: that they're doing. But they're not going to do that.

1895
01:56:18,640 --> 01:56:20,880
Speaker 2: So if you're not going to do that, that becomes

1896
01:56:20,920 --> 01:56:26,680
Speaker 2: a very very powerful draft position. Although is it as

1897
01:56:26,760 --> 01:56:29,360
Speaker 2: powerful as we think it is. I mean, you named

1898
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,920
Speaker 2: like five or six qbs, but I don't know that

1899
01:56:32,960 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 2: they're going to be the first five or six picks

1900
01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:38,040
Speaker 2: in the draft. And so moving up to Arizona gets

1901
01:56:38,080 --> 01:56:39,880
Speaker 2: you a quarterback, Well.

1902
01:56:39,800 --> 01:56:42,400
Speaker 4: Get you the one you want outside of it, gets

1903
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 4: you the one you want.

1904
01:56:44,160 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 2: I don't know Chicago, Washington, and New England will all

1905
01:56:47,000 --> 01:56:48,240
Speaker 2: have already picked. Yeah.

1906
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is if you go into this

1907
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:55,160
Speaker 4: scouting situation and the closer you get to the draft

1908
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 4: of more information to be out there about which teams

1909
01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 4: want and all that, So you take Caleb off the board. Okay,

1910
01:57:02,080 --> 01:57:04,360
Speaker 4: who do you think will be next? Off? Drake May,

1911
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels. Who do you think.

1912
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,720
Speaker 2: For Washington? I feel like Daniels.

1913
01:57:11,360 --> 01:57:12,880
Speaker 3: All right, Daniels off? All right?

1914
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 2: For New England? Drake May, big kid? You know, six four.

1915
01:57:18,200 --> 01:57:21,480
Speaker 3: Two thirty cold weather, environment, play in the elements.

1916
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,200
Speaker 2: Sure, sure makes sense.

1917
01:57:23,240 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 3: So he goes right now, it's number four? Boon Knicks?

1918
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 3: Panis who else is out there that we man?

1919
01:57:33,800 --> 01:57:37,160
Speaker 2: I'm not I love the kid, but I'm not taking

1920
01:57:37,240 --> 01:57:40,839
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix at number four? Overall? What about bo Nicks?

1921
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:44,520
Speaker 2: I can't? Maybe, maybe.

1922
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:47,520
Speaker 3: What do you have to look at it like this?

1923
01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:52,520
Speaker 4: Because you're releasing Russell Wilson and you pay him forty

1924
01:57:52,560 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 4: million dollars next year?

1925
01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:57,240
Speaker 3: What are you going to do?

1926
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:01,879
Speaker 4: So if you have to reach and take a flyer,

1927
01:58:01,960 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 4: which you put yourself in this position to do, then

1928
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:07,920
Speaker 4: you have to do it now. You don't want to

1929
01:58:07,960 --> 01:58:13,920
Speaker 4: just compound the situation. You get what I'm saying. So

1930
01:58:14,360 --> 01:58:17,440
Speaker 4: if there's a move to be made, you gotta go now.

1931
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:23,880
Speaker 4: And if you're okay with bow Nicks or Panix, are

1932
01:58:25,680 --> 01:58:29,360
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy, McCarthy and any of the any of the

1933
01:58:29,440 --> 01:58:32,960
Speaker 4: names that are out there. These feel like and it's

1934
01:58:32,960 --> 01:58:35,080
Speaker 4: it's Sean Payton, Like, who does Sean Payton?

1935
01:58:35,240 --> 01:58:35,320
Speaker 8: Like?

1936
01:58:35,800 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 2: They feel like projects. These those feel like the guys

1937
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:42,360
Speaker 2: that need and maybe they all are this, but they

1938
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:48,040
Speaker 2: feel like they need time, not not the job right away.

1939
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what it does is you get somebody in

1940
01:58:51,880 --> 01:58:54,400
Speaker 4: the building if it pans out, which is an if,

1941
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:56,720
Speaker 4: but that's what the draft is.

1942
01:58:57,240 --> 01:58:59,800
Speaker 3: That's what the draft is. If it pans out.

1943
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:03,440
Speaker 4: You put yourself in a sweet spot, and you need

1944
01:59:03,440 --> 01:59:04,680
Speaker 4: a sweet spot coming off with.

1945
01:59:06,960 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 3: This fire that you've created. Yes, you do, you need

1946
01:59:10,040 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 3: a sweet spot. You really do.

1947
01:59:12,360 --> 01:59:16,720
Speaker 2: My brother, Great stuff tonight, great great stuff tonight, always

1948
01:59:16,800 --> 01:59:19,680
Speaker 2: fun too, always funny. We got selections Sunday next week.

1949
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:24,680
Speaker 2: Have you watched over under one and a half college

1950
01:59:24,720 --> 01:59:26,240
Speaker 2: basketball game so far this year?

1951
01:59:26,400 --> 01:59:30,120
Speaker 3: Oh Over by a mile, by a mile. Hey man,

Speaker 3: What are you crazy?

1957
