1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. What is up, ladies

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: and gentlemen, It's me Jason McIntyre coming to you live

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: from the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios. When you

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: switch to Farmers, you can say, have a bundle. All

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: you gotta do is call one day eight farmers, get

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: a quote today. We are farmers. Yes, it's March folks.

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: You know what that means. Not a lot of sleep team,

8
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: No sleep today, and that's probably gonna be the deal

9
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks as March Madness takes hold.

10
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a huge fan. I love it. I

11
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: know that you're probably rolling your eyes because there's a

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: lot of people out there, a lot of March Madness

13
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: haters who are just like I don't know anybody in

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: college basketball, man, I don't know any of the players

15
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: who's good. Duke's not in it, Kentucky's not in it.

16
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: We'll do a lot on college basketball today, just the

17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: gambling aspect. Listen, listen. No nobody's gonna come out here

18
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: and tell you they can name great players throughout the country,

19
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: like that's just not a thing anymore. College basketball. I

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: had Jim Jackson on my Straight Fire podcast this week.

21
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: Great guest. Obviously I work with Jim, I'm friendly with him,

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: and he was calling the Big East Tournament this week.

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: And he played in college basketball's heyday the eighties, late eighties,

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: early nineties, when college basketball really mattered a ton, The

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: sport was incredible, the players stuck around. It was a

26
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: great sport back then. And college basketball just isn't what

27
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: it once was. But we will still cover it heavily

28
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: here March Madness, and that's coming up. A lot of

29
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: bets I will be making. Had a good week. Last

30
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: night did not go as planned. USC losing late sucked

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: for me. But um, you know, a lot to cover here. Obviously,

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: there's Joel Embiid. Injury stinks. A lot of people I

33
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: know had Joel Embiid m v P futures. That takes

34
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: a big hit. If he's gonna be out two weeks,

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: possibly more embeed we just we know his history, folks.

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: Just the injuries have mounted his terrible news. For the

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: six there's the Bucks were closing in already in the

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference. The Brooklyn Nets are closing in as well. Sixers.

39
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: You know they'll be all right. But there's certainly not

40
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: a you know, an incredible forced in a potential NBA

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: Finals team without Joel Embiad in the middle. He has

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: been putting up great numbers this season. Big injury. Before

43
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: I start the show, and we will start with the NFL. Here,

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: I just need to alert the masses that we are

45
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 1: dogs sitting as a family this weekend. First time ever

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: in my life that I'm dog sitting. Never did it

47
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: growing up. We did not have pets. I know, it

48
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: sounds like I had a weird upbringing, right. We didn't

49
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: go skiing ever. I told you guys about that. My

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: family is from the Caribbean, so we're warm weather people.

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: Uh you know, my brother has gravitated towards skiing now

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: he likes it. I just it's just never clicked. So

53
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: things you didn't do growing up generally you don't do

54
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: as an adult. We didn't do skiing, and we didn't

55
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: have any dogs. We didn't have cats either. We had

56
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: fish and birds, yes, I know birds, and we had

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: a little fish pond that we put in the backyard

58
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: with some pretty cool Koi fish. So I like fish.

59
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: But we never did a dog growing up. But I

60
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: know Gavin has a dog here, and he had a

61
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 1: good story about how he had to send his dog

62
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: to doggie school and that we're dogs sitting an older dog.

63
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: I believe the dog's nine. I'm I'm you know me,

64
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: come on. Details are not my thing when it doesn't

65
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: come to things that really matter to me. But I

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: had a funny moment yesterday. We you know, we get

67
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: the dog at about eleven o'clock. Our friends are out

68
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: of town, and we're like, oh, okay, we got the

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: kids at home because they start school late on Fridays,

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: and the wife is there, so it's us four, So

71
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: let me take the kids to school. And now it's

72
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: me and the wife. And the wife's like, I'm gonna

73
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: go for a walk on the beach. And I was like,

74
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna bring the dog or am I gonna

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: stay here? So what's going on? Honey? I had a

76
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: nap planned I'm playing basketball later. And she just like

77
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: looks at me and rolls my eye, rolls her eyes.

78
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: It's like, you're gonna hang with the dog. So I

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: was like, all right, well, I gotta go to Chick

80
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: fil a first, so I make a Chick fil A

81
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: run I come back. Wife had left, so the dog

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: is like, you know, are you giving me your Chick

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: fil a scraps? And I'm like, fine, you can have

84
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: a waffle fry, you know, like it's just a weird

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: broke down, and uh then, um, you know, I was like, listen,

86
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take my nap. So I set up the

87
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: little doggie bed and I laid down. I covered myself

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: with the blanket. The dogs just sitting there looking at

89
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: me and then looks like bored. I don't know, the

90
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: dog like when the dog looks at you, Gavin, how

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: do you know if the dogs like board upset on

92
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: the happy like, well, it's an older dog is gonna

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: be less enthusiastic than anything they do. Um, what kind

94
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: of dog is golden? And those are the best dogs, honestly, Um,

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: I'm assuming your kids are just in loving Oh gosh,

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: of course you should have seen the fight last night,

97
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: the dog sleeping in my room. My and they got

98
00:04:58,400 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: and of course they were like, fine, we'll do the

99
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: number one to ten and my son wins it and

100
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: the daughter, who is closer to the dog than any

101
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: of it, just starts bawling crying for like eight minutes.

102
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: And I'm like listen, I'm trying to watch the end

103
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: of Seaton the Hall, you know, or whoever was Seaton

104
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: Hall was playing or not Seaton Hall. I'm sorry, it's

105
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Connecticut Craton. Like, can we can we dial down um

106
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: the crying over the dog and sleeping. At any rate,

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: it's been a lot of fun so far today. We'll

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: see how it goes. I do have to ask, how

109
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: much pressure do you have now to get your own

110
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: dog for the family. Oh, that's start. Definitely, it's a step.

111
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: But as you know, when you get a dog, like

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: the training part is difficult, and yeah, especially when you

113
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: get a puppy when we did during a pandemic, so

114
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: we made it hard on ourselves. Just curious. The dog

115
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have any accidents in the house or anything, right, No,

116
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 1: that's the only thing. I don't want to be stepping

117
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: in dogs in my own house. Like that's anyway you

118
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: get on that road, I will happily help you out

119
00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: and walk you through it. But oh yeah, yeah, I'm

120
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: sure I was waiting to google what do you do

121
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: if a dog vomits after giving up the waffle fry

122
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: from Chick fil A? But at any rate, speaking of dogs,

123
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: I guess I should start with Cam Newton and the Patriots.

124
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, what on earth is Bill Belichick doing. I

125
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 1: went through all the permutations last night as I'm preparing

126
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: for this, because you know, I read a bunch of

127
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: stuff and we got a guest or two coming up

128
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: to talk about it. But how does this make sense

129
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots to bring back Cam Newton?

130
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: And I thought about it this way, so I think

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: guys will probably relate to this better than some of

132
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: the female audience. Right. So, you know how you've been

133
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: there trying to convince yourself that you know this is

134
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 1: the one for you. She is the girl for you. You

135
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: You know, um, maybe she she flirts too much with

136
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: other guys and her mom has been divorced a bunch

137
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: of times, and you know, she can't hold down a job,

138
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: and like everything's looking like, yeah, this this isn't the connection,

139
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: but you keep telling yourself we can make it work.

140
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: This is the girl for me. And I just wonder

141
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: if Bill Elichick is going through that right now looking

142
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: at Cam. Hey, guys, we had more COVID optouts than

143
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: any other team, and our philosophy in New England is

144
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: we used the off season. When teams come in for

145
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: O t A s and training camps, we coach them

146
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: up and our young guys. Then after the first month

147
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: of the season, by October, they're rare to go and

148
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: we're we're clicking on all cylinders. And last year, while

149
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: we didn't have that off season and Cam got COVID

150
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: after the first month, and you know what, we still

151
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: nearly made the playoffs. They were in the hunt in

152
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: late December. And if we bring back Cam and he's

153
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: really it's not it is a one year deal, but

154
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: it looks like it's only what three point five million

155
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: or five million that's guaranteed, about like a kind of

156
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: a backup deal, like an eight million dollar deal with

157
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: six million in incentives. Right, So you know, it's not

158
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: like they're they're locking up Cam Newton long term here,

159
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: but it does feel like they're on moving in with

160
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: the girl to find out if this is the one. UM.

161
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know what the alternative option is, guys. That's

162
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: the big problem. We talked about this with Ben Roethlisberger, Right,

163
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: what were your other options if you were Pittsburgh, Like

164
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: what else could you do? Look around the league? And

165
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: that's become the big problem if you're New Orleans and

166
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: Sean Payton says we're gonna roll with Taysom Hill, and

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: you're like, how are you gonna do Taysom Hill? Look around?

168
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: Who you got? What is the alternative? And the problem

169
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: is it's kind of bleak, you know, the same sort

170
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: in position to go up and draft somebody. The Patriots

171
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: at fifteen, they were just good enough to compete for

172
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs spot, but not good enough to get it.

173
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: So now you're like, well, is mac Jones gonna be

174
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: our guy at fifteen? Is he gonna fall that far?

175
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: And one week it's like, yeah, mac Jones will be there,

176
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: and then the next week it's like, oh, I don't know,

177
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, Panthers may grab mac Jones. And it's just

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: there's so much misinformation about the draft, and there's so

179
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: much um I guess, consternation over these free agents, because

180
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: right now it's all signs of pointing to Mariota staying

181
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: in Vegas simply because nobody wants to pay him twenty

182
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: one mill or whatever his number is to be the

183
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: backup because of his guaranteed deal, Like they would love

184
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: it if the Raiders cut him. But the Raiders are like, no,

185
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: you gotta trade for him. And it's just getting dicey

186
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 1: among some of these teams, I'm telling you, like Belichick

187
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: probably looked around the quarterback says, you know what, we're

188
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: not getting Jimmy g Because if you noticed how the

189
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 1: winds are blowing all of a sudden San Francisco, Jimmy

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: Gee's our guy. Jimmy Gee's our guy. That's all you're

191
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: hearing out of San France. And it's like, oh, so,

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: I guess they tried to make a move and didn't

193
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: really take. So you start playing the musical chairs game

194
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: at quarterback and you see, oh, Tom Brady not only

195
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: is sticking around for a year, but it may be

196
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: three more years. And now Tom Brady maybe plan until

197
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: he's forty five. And you know, Belichick has to guys,

198
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: he's got to be so ticked off that Brady is

199
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: now structuring his deal. So he's kicking his payments down

200
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: the road. What does what does Brady need the money

201
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: for this year? Guys? Set for life. He's got multigenerational

202
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: wealth between him and the wife, so he's taking as

203
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: little as he can this year so they can retain

204
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: all the free agents and will play the free agent

205
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: game later in the show. Who's gonna end up? Where

206
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Shaq Barrett is a big one for Tampa. They need

207
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: to retain him. He is a tremendous pass rusher. There

208
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: are a couple other good ones in free agency that

209
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 1: are available, but Brady is doing everything he can to

210
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: run it back. Man, do you know what kind of

211
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: nail in the coffin that would be for Belichick? If

212
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: Brady wins another Super Bowl? Hell, just getting to it

213
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: would be pretty incredible for Tom Brady. Now, I will

214
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: quickly say this, if you look at the a f

215
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: C all of a sudden, guys, it's pretty pretty deep. Okay.

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm a believer that Gavin's Chargers are gonna be there.

217
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: We know the Chiefs and the Bills are gonna be there.

218
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: The Joe Burrow lad Bengals showed some improvement and they

219
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: will be better. I don't know if three playoff teams

220
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: come out of the North when you've got Pittsburgh, Cleveland

221
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: and Baltimore again. And we'll talk about the Lamar Jackson.

222
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: Is he a forty million dollar man? We'll talk about

223
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: that in a little bit. But I actually think that

224
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jacks. By the way, they've got a lot of

225
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: money to spend their bringing in Trevor Lawrence, they get

226
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: the new coach bump with Urban Meyer. That's a seven

227
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: eight nine win team Tennessee is still gonna be there.

228
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 1: We'll see if there is some aggression. Derrick Henry is

229
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: a big caution flag given the number of carries he

230
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: had last year. Colts are definitely gonna be there in

231
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: the mix for a playoff spot, and then Miami just

232
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: on the final day of the season. The Jets can

233
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: only get better with Zach Wilson, cap room and draft capital,

234
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are now. You know, Belichick's throwing the

235
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at the a f C to get back

236
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. He he can't lose this to Tom Brady.

237
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: You know, Brady wins the breakup. Belichick is gonna come

238
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 1: in strong year two. So the a f C stacked

239
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: start to look around the NFC. I mean, I made

240
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: the case on straight fire. Dak Prescott has a shot

241
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: this year in Dallas. I didn't love the contract, but

242
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: the way it's structured, he's gonna have a Super Bowl

243
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: window this year instead of being tagged at thirty seven mill.

244
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: He's only getting twenty two mills this year, So that's

245
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: fifteen dollar fifteen million in monopoly money for Jerry Jones

246
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: to hopefully not waste away. There is a scenario where

247
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: Dallas wins eleven games. During the commercial break, here go

248
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: look at the Dallas schedule. I'll tease it. Uh, they

249
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: have one opponent coming to Jerry World, who made the

250
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: playoffs last year, and that's seven and nine Washington, which

251
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: still doesn't have a quarterback. So there is a scenario

252
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: where Dallas wins eleven games, they get to the playoffs,

253
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: and you look around, You're like, oh, there's no Drew

254
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: Brees this year. Let's see what happens with Aaron Rodgers

255
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: and his coach, and all of a sudden it's like, oh,

256
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford and the Rams of the team to beat. Well,

257
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: you know, maybe there is a Super Bowl window next

258
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: year for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys. So a lot

259

Speaker 1: of interesting NFL stories, Obviously free agency coming up. It's

00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: Drive so um yesterday, at some point, the internet buckled

286
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: when it was revealed that a Rod Um and Jennifer

287
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: Lopez were breaking up. I mean, it was a shocking development.

288
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Page six. I thought it had the scoop, and all

289
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden, now People magazine is reporting that, no,

290
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: it's not true. Jennifer Lopez and a Rod A Rod

291
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: of course, I work with him in Fox. I have

292
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: met him. He is a nice, handsome, very large individual.

293
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how much bigger than me A Rod was. Um.

294
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: A Rod and Jennifer Lopez not breaking up. They're gonna

295
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: stick together now. In the story they mentioned somebody there

296
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: were some rumors about a Rod and there are some

297
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: things that were working through and a Rod was allegedly

298
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: linked to somebody named Madison Lacroix. Now, I don't know

299
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the show's Southern Charm, Gavin, have you seen it? Don't lock, Chris?

300
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Have you seen something called Southern Charm? No? I have not. Okay,

301
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: so I thought, Kevin, maybe your girl watches it right now?

302
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: So then this, of course, what do you do when

303
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: you hear Madison Lacroix from Southern Charm. That's a great name,

304
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: by the way, So I looked up. Yeah, I thought

305
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: it was the beverage. No, yeah, I wasn't Butchering Laquix,

306
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: but Madison Lacroix. So I go look her up on Instagram. Hello,

307
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, what a what an Instagram profile she's got,

308
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Madison Lacroix. I don't know. Alex Rodriguez j LO. Good

309
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: luck to you guys. Listen, it's tough to uh get

310
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: married and stay together. I'll say this, and I don't

311
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: reveal a lot about the marriage. You know, we've been

312
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: married fourteen years now. But it's funny. During the pandemic,

313
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: there was a lot of scuttle butt that oh, there's

314
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: gonna be so many kids born, and then like a

315
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: month later it's like, oh, there's gonna be so many divorces. Um,

316
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say, like, you know, a marriage obviously

317
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: has its highs and lows, and we've had some extreme

318
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: highs but also some very big lows. During the pandemic.

319
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: It is tough because everybody cooped up in the house.

320
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: And I have to say this guy's I'm very routine oriented.

321
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: I like a good routine, and if I'm off my routine,

322
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: it's like, damn it, how do I get back on it?

323
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: And it's tough to get on a routine and stay

324
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: on it, and a pandemic when everybody's home all the time,

325
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, listen, we had some awesome times

326
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: and we had some rough patches. I'm sure anybody who's

327
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: being honest will admit it was difficult. Um, this pandemic

328
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: and now we're finally getting through it. Gavin was revealing.

329
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he wants to admit it out loud,

330
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: but um, you know, he just sent me the link

331
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: to uh possible vaccine out here in Los Angeles. Uh.

332
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: I went to the Walgreen's website Walgreens now will do vaccines,

333
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: and I had booked both doses and I'm like excited.

334
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I pressed click and they were like, oh, you lost it.

335
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: It's gone, and like that's how fast they're going. You

336
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: just gotta go bing being done. I'm sign up and uh,

337
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: at any rate, let's let's get this over with for sure. UM,

338
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: let's get to Joel embiad and he goes down. Last night,

339
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: all kinds of panic in six years World Gambling World,

340
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and um, I don't know, folks, two weeks that could

341
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: be the m v P for Joel Embiid. This is

342
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: a guy who had taken the m v P lead

343
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: right before the All Star break as Lebron and the

344
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: Lakers had kind of struggled. And listen, Lebron lost Anthony

345
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: Davis and bead lost Simmons for a minute, and now

346
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: Simmons is back. They had the COVID scare all Star week.

347
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, guys, I gotta be honest with you.

348
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: These NBA injuries coming off the short season. Anthony Davis

349
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 1: all of a sudden was supposed to be back shortly

350
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, yeah, two more weeks will reevaluate him.

351
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: That means three more weeks. And then Kevin Durant had

352
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 1: an m r I, was close to returning, all of

353
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, He's going to get another m r I

354
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: in a week now. I don't know, Gavin, are they

355
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: just being extra cautious with these guys or are the

356
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: injuries maybe more serious than we've been led to believe

357
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: because these are two of the big stars in League A.

358
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: D and Vin. Kevin Durant now you had Joel embiad

359
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: to the list. That's legitimately three of the ten best

360
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: players in the league. Yeah, I mean, um, with the Lakers,

361
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 1: I think it's case by case. But the Lakers know

362
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: they're not going far with with just Lebron. They tried

363
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: that a couple of years ago, you know, didn't didn't good. Absolutely,

364
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: you need a d And the Nets, to their own credit,

365
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: are probably the better team without their own star. Like

366
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: with if they don't have Kevin Durant, they should still

367
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: be able to do something in the playoffs. But the Sixers,

368
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, if they don't have em bide him. Yeah,

369
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Alex Caruso also injured last night. Um, Lakers star. I'm

370
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: sure I got a bunch of tweets, UM and Instagram

371
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: dms this morning. Hey, you said Kyle Kuzma was as

372
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: reliable as the WiFi in your basement. And Kyle Kuzma

373
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: had twenty We're in thirteen last night. Like that's how

374
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: it works, Gavin, like j Cutler had big games exactly.

375
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: People don't get it. It's like, Okay, co was gonna

00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 1: go three for eleven tomorrow and I'm not gonna hear

377
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: anything from you. Like, these fans are so silly on

378
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: social media. I mean it's it's staggering. By the way,

379
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: did you see the tweet from Montrez Harrold like four

380
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: days ago? I saw one that was really weird and

381
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: it it made me question what's going on with him? Right?

382
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,959
Speaker 1: Can you remind me what it said? It was? I mean,

383
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't have a front. Yeah, it's like about I

384
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: guess I'm done now, I see you guys later or something.

385
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: I was like, geez, it was kind of Deshaun Watson

386
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: does that a lot and then you google it and

387
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: it's a future lyric. Like That's my question. Is a

388
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: lot of these guys they're they're tweeting out lyrics. It

389
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: might be from the New Drake album or the Blue

390
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: Sauce or whatever it's called that or Blue Velvet something.

391
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: So Harold goes out last night seventeen and six in

392
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: the Lakers comeback win over Indie. All right, coming up

393
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: next year on on Fox Sports Radio Live from the

394
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: Farmer's Insurance, Fox Sports Radio Studios called one eight farmers

395
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: to switch and you could say a bundle on your

396
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: auto insurance. I have a couple of college basketball picks

397
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: from the machine. You know the algorithm. These guys built

398
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: a model. It's had a good season, about fifty seven

399
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: point six. They like Michigan today favored by six and

400
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: Texas favored by one and a half. So fire on

401
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: those if you will. I have already got my bets in.

402
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: Let's get to our guests now. Matt Chatham, n E

403
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: s N Analyst, Matt, how good morning, How are you man? Morning?

404
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: Doing wonderful? Yeah? Maybe better than the New England Patriots

405
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: who shocked everybody yesterday by announcing Cam Newton is coming back.

406
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: Matt helped me make sense of this, what what's going on? Yeah?

407
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: I was. I was certainly in that camp that was

408
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: a little bit surprised. I mean, I think the news

409
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: that we had heard it through, you know, most of

410
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: your sort of major reporters back in January and even February,

411
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: as as the Super Bowl had ended, is that, uh,

412
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: they were gonna go to separate ways, but that the

413
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 1: door wasn't closed, which is kind of a cryptic little

414
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, we think they're looking for more, but hey,

415
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's not as if it's a stake in

416
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: the ground kind of situation. So I think it was

417
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: sort of a myriad of emotions yesterday because the initial reports,

418
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: the sort of nine am the Eastern thing was that

419
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: fourteen million dollar deal, which you know, makes was going

420
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: to make a Patriots fan have a heart attack because

421
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: they think that means, hey, it's you know, that's that's

422
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, not not high level starter quarterback money, but

423
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: it is kind of started starter money. But I think

424
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 1: it was sort of the midday reports that came out

425
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: where hey, you know what, this is actually a five

426
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. You know you're gonna have to spin

427
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: the sun on your finger to get the four keeen.

428
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: So I think I think when you realize that context,

429
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: that this is actually a highly valued, high quality backup

430
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: quarterback contract and they will presumably continue to be aggressive

431
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: to find who I think their future starter is. That

432
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: really changed the narrative. So I get that like this

433
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: whole like, okay, he'll battle for the spot. We don't

434
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: know if he's starting, But my big question is like

435
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: what are the alternatives at the stage? Is there is

436
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: there some is a Ryan Fitzpatrick and is his name

437
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna pop up? Or is this a Matt Jones type

438
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: move in the draft or something? Or door number C

439
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: or door letter C obviously, which is a mystery at

440
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: this point. Yeah, so my my first thought was, okay,

441
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: um and I and I'll, you know, be forethread on

442
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: this on ness and I've I've advocated pretty heavily for

443
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: people like Jacoby Ver said. I thought Jacoby would be

444
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: a really excellent and excellent bridge kind of guy because

445
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: you're not liking straight up start over mode because you

446
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: haven't experienced with him, he's been away for a couple

447
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: of years. But there's a comfort level. There's a guy,

448
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, there's a guy that is a very

449
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,719
Speaker 1: a depth pocket type guy. He's not gonna get out

450
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: and run anywhere in New or were Cam would. But

451
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: I thought the addition of Trent Brown, uh is just

452
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: a such a unique, oversized six eight three sixty human

453
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: that's so different that he's the kind of guy that

454
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: creates pockets and creates movement and running games. So my

455
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: thought is when they made that addition, if you were

456
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: looking for a bridge guy to sort of maybe he

457
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: becomes more than the starter that you think he is,

458
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: or maybe he just really holds the fork down until

459
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: this key quarterback is ready to roll. I thought Jacoby

460
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: would be a great bridge for that now, granted they

461
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: signed Cam, that's probably done. So what I read this,

462
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: I said the tea leaves for me on this is

463
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: basically they believe that uh, Cam may with more chance

464
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: to be able to do a little more than he

465
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: did a year ago, but that rather than go through

466
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: the start over vode with the Fitzpatrick like you mentioned,

467
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: or maybe Jameis Winston or maybe any the other scenarios, Jacoby,

468
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: let's not to start over. We have an in house,

469
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: give him the full offseason. Maybe he'll do a little better,

470
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: but we're not re teaching another veteran while our main prerogative.

471
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: This new young guy, UH is sort of learning the

472
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: roats now for a franchise Matt that for two decades

473
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: was led by Tom Brady and going to the Super

474
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: Bowl and a Super Bowl contender every year, I've got

475
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: to be honest, I don't know how excited they are

476
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: about Cam Newton slash Jacoby Brissette. Uh. Is that a

477
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: tough sell to the fan base up there? Yeah? I

478
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: think the fan base is. I think the fan base

479
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: is ready to roll with the with the young guy.

480
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: I think I think that you will get the enthusiasm

481
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: back uh by and not that it's waned that much.

482
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: I think that last year was an all year there.

483
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: It was gonna be a step back year, especially with

484
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: a high opt out rate and all that stuff. So

485
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: they get a bunch of people back they didn't have

486
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: a year ago. Obviously, the quarterback is always gonna be

487
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: everyone's biggest question. But yeah, if you if you're trying

488
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: to sort of when they're not in a situation where

489
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: they have to try hard to sell tickets, let's put

490
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: it that way. So from just straight up excitement level, no,

491
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean if if you told, you know, everyone on

492
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 1: fan that Cam's gonna go start sixteen games next year,

493
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I think that will freak out a certain percentage of

494
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: the fan base. But I I really think if you

495
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 1: sort of understand that this is meant to be more

496
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: of a step to another thing, the thing that people

497
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: will get people excited about is did they get there?

498
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, you know, do they get there too? It?

499
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: Do they get there? Uh? You know, justin Herbert, are

500
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: they going to get their next guy? And the next

501
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: guy doesn't have to be a pro bowler this year

502
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: or even already started this particular season. I think just

503
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: knowing that you may have that in the freezer. I

504
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 1: think working through the pains of a letter, and you know,

505
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: it changes the context a little bit. Yeah, when you

506
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: look around the a f C, you know Patrick Mahomes, obviously,

507
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Miami will see if they get Watson, the

508
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: Jets are going to get a quarterback, probably Zack Wilson,

509
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: Big Ben Lamar Jack, Like everybody seems to have someone

510
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: who is young and promising. And the Patriots here, listen,

511
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: We've seen other teams wait ten, fifteen, twenty years to

512
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: get another franchise quarterback. I mean, the reality has to

513
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: set in for New England at some point. Maybe we're

514
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,159
Speaker 1: not gonna find one for a few years, is like,

515
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 1: I know that's tough to accept, but that's the reality

516
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: of this. Yeah, it's possible. I think we're in a

517
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: weird year, Jason here to where you know the guy

518
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Mac Jones. I mean, that's that's potentially the

519
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth quarterback off the board, which is wild.

520
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,199
Speaker 1: In any other quarterback year where you can sort of

521
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: look historically of who ends up being a long term starter,

522
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: who survived from that first round class, it's pretty strained

523
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: to get past the second even to the third. In

524
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: most years, you don't have a uorterback class where you

525
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: pull that many from it who are still there ten

526
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 1: years later. So when you start talking about the fourth

527
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: or fifth, even if you you know in draft time,

528
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: in evaluation time, everyone feels great about that guy. Uh,

529
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: it's it's a pretty far fetched thing where they're still

530
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: there ten years later, So you know, you have to

531
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: fall in love with them. And if they're in that

532
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: particular situation, I think if they're aggressive, as we've kind

533
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: of heard, they maybe um, you know, maybe they're willing

534
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: to move up from where they're at and go make

535
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: sure they get the third. Whoever that may be off

536
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: the year's this year's charts. But if you're not, if

537
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 1: you're gambled on the fifth, the seventh may not be

538
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: much different than them. So it's more just how your

539
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: own eval goes. I guess, I guess, Matt. We could

540
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: wrap up with this like when you look at the

541
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,160
Speaker 1: Patriots offseason spending potential. They got a lot of money, right,

542
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: they have a lot of cap room they can spend.

543
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,239
Speaker 1: But historically Belichick he prefers to shop you know, at

544
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: Ross Dress for less or whatever. The clothing story is

545
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: with the cheap stuff, do you expect them to break

546
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: the bank for anyone Kenny Golladay shack Bart, Do you

547
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: expect them to spend heavily or try to find the

548
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: cheaper stuff. I tend to think that the team building

549
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: is the more important part here, Jason, and they're they're

550
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: they're big into that. Like you know, if you have

551
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: a lot of b plus guys, you will kick the

552
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: hell out of a team that has a few a

553
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: pluses and a bunch of seats. I think we've proven

554
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: that over and over and over again. So I tend

555
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: to think that with lots of space, the last thing

556
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: you want to do is fill it up with two bodies,

557
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: because one of those two bodies gets hurt and you

558
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: don't got much and no matter how good the player is.

559
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: I tend to think that, And we learned this a

560
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: little last year, and part of what's going to refill

561
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: the conference here a little bit is you get Dante

562
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: Hybrid power back, you get some of the bodies that

563
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: you were missing, the really high end players. So that's

564
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 1: a part of the formula though. But then beyond that,

565
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, there was there were serious stepth tissues on

566
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: the defensive line, and if the linebacker group a year

567
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: ago through attrition, you know, high Tower sits out the year.

568
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 1: But Kylevinois has gone and Jamie Collins has gone, so

569
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: there was a lot of talent that left the room.

570
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: So I think this is more about you need to

571
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: get lots and lots of good players back. If you

572
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: go out there and say let's break the bank, you know,

573
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: for one human being. You know, it's really hard to

574
00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: get one human through sixteen games and how much effect

575
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: can they have? So I think it's really more about

576
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 1: building up the whole roster. All right. Matt Chatham an

577
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: e s N analysts follow him on Twitter at Chatham

578
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: fifty eight. All right, Matt, thanks a lot, enjoy the weekend,

579
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: my pleasure. All right, coming up next year on Fox

580
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, listen, I know the Pelicans one last night. Okay,

581
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: we get it, a nice win over a terrible team,

582
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: but my gosh, have you looked at the standings? Zion

583
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Williamson probably not playoff bound again two wasted years back.

584
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: Here on Fox Sports Radio, it's me Jason McIntire live

585
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: from the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called Farmers

586
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: Today for a quote. So I got a lot of

587
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: people in the state of Louisiana all jammed up this week.

588
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: Um I started bashing the Pelicans when they got throttled

589
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: by thirty by the Minnesota Timberwolves, the worst team in

590
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: the league. I'm like, listen, I'm not gonna lie to you, guys.

591
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: I like Zion Williamson. He is extremely fun to watch.

592
00:29:57,040 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: My basketball viewing experience is better with Zion Willia Simpson.

593
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this is not rocket science. We sports fans.

594
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 1: We like to watch the best players like Chiefs without

595
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes. Sorry, I'm not I'm not that interested with

596
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: Chad Henny can do you know? That's just how I mean.

597
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: Think about any team that you really like and their

598
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: best player out, Like am I watching the Lakers? If

599
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: Lebron is not there, if he's hurt, it's gonna be

600
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: a tough sell. I mean, I tried to watch that

601
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: Lakers Kings game right before the All Star break. It

602
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 1: was like, okay, KCP. By the way, I had a

603
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: dream that KCP got traded. Yes, I actually had a

604
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: dream about a Lakers trade. Very strange. Um, So, so

605
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: Zion is playing for the Pels. They stink they get

606
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 1: curb stomped by the Timberwolves, and I start going on

607
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: social media, like, all right, so where's Zion playing in

608
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: a few years. He ain't sticking around Nola, And all

609
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 1: these Pelicans fans, you know, like the fourteen Pelicans fans

610
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 1: that exist, are like, oh, that's so unfair. You know,

611
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: Lebron didn't make the playoffs in his first two years. Yeah,

612
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: I get it. Okay, fine, Lebron didn't make the playoffs. Um,

613
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: and what ended up happening. He had up leaving Cleveland.

614
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant didn't get back to the championship after they

615
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: traded James Harden and okay, see he bolted for Golden State.

616
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: You've got to build around the stars. The clock is ticking,

617
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans build around Zion, Like now, I mean, we're

618
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: we're getting to the stage where a team like the

619
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: Chicago Bulls, who again, I thought we're gonna be pretty

620
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 1: good this year. Currently they are outside of or they're

621
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: tied for the final play in spot. But if I'm

622
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: the Pelicans, I call up, I say, yo, what do

623
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: you want for Zach Lavine? I'll give you brandon Ingram.

624
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: You could take brandon Ingram I'll ship him fed X.

625
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: I like Brandon him. He's having a good year. I mean,

626
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: give me zach Lavine. The problem is Brandon Ingram needs

627
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: the ball to really take over and do things. He's

628
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: like one of these like long two u's I'm gonna

629
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: drive get to the line. Okay, that's fine, but I

630
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: want my offense running through Zion. Zach Lavine is more

631
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 1: of a catch and shoot guy. Yes, he needs the

632
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: ball because guess what, the Bulls have no talent. His

633
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: usage rates through the roof because the Bulls have nobody.

634
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: It's like, oh, Kobe White or zach Levine, like, well,

635
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: of course, come on, it's no brainer. Zach Levine's the

636
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: guy in Chicago, you can be. I mean, I haven't

637
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: looked at the salaries, but if I'm the Pelicans, I say, well,

638
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: give you um Alonzo Ingram and a and a future pick,

639
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: and you give me zach Levine and the room protector,

640
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: the kid Carter, Wendell Carter. Because right now New Orleans

641
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: can't stop anybody at the rim. Steven Adams ko he

642
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: doesn't block shots. You give me zach Levine and Zion

643
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: and that's a playoff team in the West they will

644
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year. I mean, the West is

645
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: kind of stacked, the Suns are hot. Jazz one again

646
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: last night, Golden States scuffling by the way. Uh, not

647
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: to plug straight Fire again, but I had Steve Hartman

648
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: Steve Hartman um San Diego's Finest on my podcast this week,

649
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: and he's got the Rob Parker syndrome of oh, let's

650
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: just bash Steph Curry. And I just hear this. I'm like,

651
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: do you pay attention to sports? Like what what are

652
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: you doing? This idea that people want to just blast

653
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: Steph Curry? I just don't get it. And even produce

654
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: my producer, straight Fire, Rob g He's all, Curry's got

655
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: a lot to prove. What would you mean Curry has

656
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: a lot to prove? Like, I don't get this, this

657
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: notion that somebody has to hit a clutch shot in

658
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs to be like a superstar? Okay, fine, Like

659
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: does that make Robert or the m v P of

660
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: the Shaq Kobe Lakers because he had the biggest shot

661
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: against the Kings at the buzzer? Does that make Kyrie

662
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: more valuable than Lebron because he hit the game winning

663
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: shot in Game seven? Like what are we doing? What

664
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: a Ray Allen banging that three for Lebron's heat to

665
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 1: senate overtime? Like, stop, guys, here's uh, here's some audio

666
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: from Steph Curry this week. Listen, where's it going through

667
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: a tough time? Somebody joked that how angry is Curry

668
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: going from passing to Janice in the All Star Game

669
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: and Damian Lillard to Kevon Looney and Eric Pashal. Here

670
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: here's uh, Steph Curry? What fuels you? What more do

671
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: you have to accomplish? I have a lot to accomplish.

672
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: I don't have anything to prove. There's a little little

673
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: subtle difference there, but um, but drives me is just

674
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: having fun. I truly love to play basketball. I'm just

675
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: appreciative and grateful that it's at the highest level, and

676
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: um yeah, I get to kind of still pursue a

677
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: higher level of excellence on the court because we all

678
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: know our careers have a finite window and you never

679
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: know when the basketball guys, if you will tell you

680
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 1: to hang them up. So as long as I feel

681
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,919
Speaker 1: healthy and strong and able to keep doing what I'm doing,

682
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: the joy nationally comes out. And that feels everything, you know,

683
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: with my teammates with you know that season, the season grind,

684
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: Jason championships and all that. I just love it. Yeah,

685
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: he's um. Curry has a lot left to accomplish. I mean,

686
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: he just added the another three point championship to his dossier.

687
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: By the way, that was the best three point contest

688
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Curry wins it at the buzzer on

689
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,240
Speaker 1: the final ball, just a fun, fun three point shootout,

690
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: and like, I don't know, like Kevin, can you help

691
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: me understand what he has left to prove? And if

692
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 1: you want to go into Curry, fine, A lot of

693
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 1: people seem to like, no, I don't go in on him.

694
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: I do think when you put yourself in the upper

695
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: echelon of the greatest players in NBA history, there is

696
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: an aspect of he needs to do it on a

697
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: team that isn't filled with all stars and has maybe

698
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: the best player in the league on his own team. So,

699
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's where it comes down to.

700
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: But he doesn't have anything to prove, Like, he doesn't

701
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: have to you win another title to be a Basketball

702
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, right, And he's changed the league. We

703
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: all know that. And he's probably the best shooter we've

704
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: ever seen, without a doubt. Um, but no, I mean

705
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: it's just when you when you put yourself in a

706
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: conversation among the best of all time, you do get

707
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: to a well can you do it on a team

708
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: that isn't stacked with I do? Like that isn't sect Okay, fine,

709
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna take away the k D UM k D

710
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,279
Speaker 1: championships from the words. That's fine, but then you've got

711
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: to play that game with everybody like, uh, you know

712
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: what did uh? But like Kauai one now you could

713
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: say injuries but quite literally one with Pascal com as

714
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 1: his second. So Steph Curry, by the way, won the

715
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: title before k D got there, and they had Curry,

716
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: Clay and Draymond Green. Draymond Green was the second round pick.

717
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: Clay was like a late lottery um and by the way,

718
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: Curry those playoffs average twenty eight points per game the

719
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 1: year before they won seventy three. It's so like, does

720
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: that title not count? Now? Titles never don't count. I

721
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: hate that argument. Is it that he didn't get the

722
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: finals MVP? So there's something like was he the best player?

723
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: Like Igudalla got it because of his defense on Lebron,

724
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: which was a little silly, but whatever. I just I

725
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 1: don't people. I'm not saying you gave him, but a

726
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: lot of people like to try to tear down Curry

727
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. I will say there is a thing

728
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: where he's beloved so much in the media. Yeah, I

729
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: think that irks a lot of people. All Right, coming

730
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: up next year on Fox Sports Radio, Dak Prescott, Are

731
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: you kidding me? Hello? Eleven am on the East Coast

00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 1: coming to you live from the guy Go Fox Sports.

734
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. From the Farmers Insurance, Fox Sports Radio Studios

735
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: called one of day Farmers to switch and you could

736
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: save an average of four seventy dollars on auto insurance.

737
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 1: There's a lot of money for a quick call, don't

738
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: you think every nationwide Annual Savings Survey data July to December.

739
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: We are so one hour in the books. We didn't

740
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,760
Speaker 1: do enough college basketball in the first hour. But don't worry, guys.

741
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 1: Iowa Sam has gotten into the building as Iowa Hawkeyes

742
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: with a nice win last night over Wisconsin. I gotta

743
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: say I always say, I'm going to you right out.

744
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, did you get a haircut? Whoa, I

745
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: always say I'm shaves that is it all gone? No?

746
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: No short, wow, big haircut for the Big Ten tournament,

747
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: I would assume. Um, I need instantly your thoughts on

748
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: Iowa's chances today massive game after the win over Wisconsin.

749
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: I don't think that they win. I think that Illinois

750
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: just has a better all around team. But they've both

751
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: been hot lately, and uh Iowa to Sue moves back

752
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: and then Joey's comes back for Iowa, so everyone's at

753
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: full strength. Should be a good game. I think that

754
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: they're favored by I don't know five. I don't know.

755
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 1: I actually haven't haven't seen it yet. I'm leaning towards Illinois.

756
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: That's a good looking team right now. By the way,

757
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: yeah three and a half. Here's I did a little

758
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,760
Speaker 1: preview googling around on on this matchup. Big thing seems

759
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: to be down low. Illinois is much tougher than Wisconsin,

760
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: who Iowa just smacked. Um actually was a close game.

761
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: But really, yeah, that that'll be the matchup to watch.

762
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's Coburn versus Garza, so that should be good.

763
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: But you know, Kofi. Is it coburner No, it's Coburn,

764
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 1: Coburn Coburn yep, and Garza is the better score. Coburn

765
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,320
Speaker 1: is a great defensive player. I mean he's a beast

766
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 1: inside too. So here's the thing about Garza, because you

767
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: keep hearing this thing, he's going to be the National

768
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: Player of the Year, but he's probably not going to

769
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: be great in the NBA. He might not even get

770
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: a starting or a bench spot. Would he just jogs

771
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: back up the court. He's not a comfortable watch like.

772
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 1: He looks like he's struggling to get back. He's got

773
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: he's got heavy feet, but he's done so much work

774
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what his NBA prospects are. I mean,

775
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: if you're the you're the National Player of the Year

776
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,399
Speaker 1: because you're a productive college player. So I mean, they

777
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: don't give the Heisman based on NFL you know, how

778
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: how well you might do as as a pro you

779
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: do you get Heisman based on a very productive, you know,

780
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: college season. Yeah, it was weird. I other than Garza,

781
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: nobody looked good in the first half, Rightowa, nobody, I

782
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: mean they were awful, right Guarsa was doing a lot

783
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: of the work. In fact, he's basically scored like a

784
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: third of the points for the team. So it's this

785
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: weird thing, Sam, where sometimes you get a star player

786
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: that people know Garza, and then guess what the tournament

787
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: comes around. Everybody's like, oh, they got Garza, he's a

788
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: great player, and then something bad happens to them in

789
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 1: the first round. You know, we're like nobody else steps up.

790
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, I don't know if I would

791
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: be worried about them losing, and maybe not the first round,

792
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: but the second round game because they're gonna be what

793
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: like a three or four seed. They're give me a

794
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:13,359
Speaker 1: two seed, definitely a two, so they'll play a seven ten.

795
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: I haven't looked at their ranked their ranked five right

796
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,359
Speaker 1: now in the country, and and they made it the semifinals,

797
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 1: so that if you were to just number out the seeds,

798
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: they'd be a two seed. Okay. The weird thing about

799
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: March Madness is like, for whatever reason, the Joe Lenardi

800
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: bracketology type stuff doesn't seem to matter much anymore, does it.

801
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 1: I found myself looking at it like five years ago

802
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: all the time. I don't even look at it now

803
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: because it's more about gambling at this point, is it not? Yeah?

804
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean for me and you, we're just looking at

805
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 1: the games and gamble on where the good value is

806
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 1: exactly like today, I just fired. They're about the tip off.

807
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: Maybe we can get the game here, Um Hartford, you

808
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: mass Lowell, and I took you mask Lowell. I couldn't

809
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: name a player. I don't know what their mascot is,

810
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 1: but the numbers say they are a play. There even

811
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: a website I'll give out to you guys, besides Ken Palm,

812
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: which I know everybody uses, a bart Torvik dot com

813
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,359
Speaker 1: and he runs his UH analytics and puts out what

814
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: he thinks the final score will be. He's usually missed

815
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: his top two bets this week because I've been tracking

816
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: them closely, but his like three, four or five six

817
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: picks have been hitting at a good rate. Um, I

818
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: don't know what that means, but I've been skipping the

819
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: top two picks since I noticed this little mini trend.

820
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:28,800
Speaker 1: And again, you don't want to read too much in

821
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: the trends, but all I know is I haven't gambled

822
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: as much. Thursday. I had more money and play than

823
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 1: I did on the Super Bowl. Gavin now listen. I mean,

824
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm firing left and right. It's fun, but think about it,

825
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: like Super Bowl football season, you're gambling heavily every week.

826
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: After that, there's like a respite, right. I don't do

827
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: a lot of January NBA betting. No, No, most people don't.

828
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: It's kind of a month to take off. But March

829
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: March is huge. And then after this it's like, I'll

830
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 1: do NBA playoffs, but it's not the size that I'm

831
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: doing for March badness. Right, Like, there's gonna be thirty

832
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: two games coming up? What is it next? Friday? Saturday?

833
00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: The tournament schedule change, did you guys hear? Yeah? Yeah,

834
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: So next Thursday will be the first four um, and

835
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: then Friday will be your first day of the full

836
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: games that we're used to. Its usually that Thursday and Friday,

837
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: and then I think he goes Saturday Sunday. Dude. How

838
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: many people are going to take off work on Friday.

839
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: It's usually it's tough to take off Thursday and Friday.

840
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,759
Speaker 1: But if it's just Friday, dude, make that a three

841
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: day weekend, right, I mean that's a no brainer. Um,

842
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 1: although that does make Monday a little tricky with but

843
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: there's not as many games on Monday. All right, you

844
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,959
Speaker 1: mask Lowell and Hartford underway on ESPN two. It looks

845
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: like Um and Jason just a growing up. You know

846
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: you were a big Knicks fan, right, Um? What's it

847
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: like to get to see Patrick Ewing on the side

848
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: of Georgetown. Well, it's funny. I was looking at the

849
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: Big East Championship and it's Creighton versus Georgetown. That just

850
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: it's it has a weird wing to it, doesn't it.

851
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: Creighton George It's down? Yeah, no, cercuse, Georgetown's on a

852
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: nice little run, though. I gotta say the Hoyas run

853
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 1: has been fun. I don't know if there are a

854
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: lot I would say, maybe you could check. Are they

855
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: gonna get into tournament if they don't win this? Who's

856
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: that Georgetown? I don't think so. Yeah. I think their

857
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: record is either under barely. They were getting eight last night.

858
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: I took it. But Craton, by the way, I mean,

859
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: they joined the Big East a few years ago, so

860
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 1: that's why maybe it sounds a little strange. But also

861
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 1: what about the a c C Championship. For the first

862
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: time since Duco U n C will not be in

863
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 1: the final. It is Georgia Tech f s U. And again,

864
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 1: like that just sounds like a really bad college football

865
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: exact exactly. It sounds like a Thursday college football game.

866
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: Last year game beat Florida State, last year in football,

867
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech f sc F SCUS hurting in football. Um,

868
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's a weird year, guys, I mean, yeah, anyways,

869
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: it is a weird year. Speaking of weird years, how

870
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: about Jerry Jones giving Dak Prescott all the money, all

871
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: of it, like all the money. He just emptied his

872
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: bank on Dak Prescott and then admitted in the press conference,

873
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we overpaid Dak. I screwed it up. Just

874
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 1: kind of just straight up admitting failure. And it's just

875
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: one of those weird things like oh okay, but again

876
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: we opened the show like options. I would have said,

877
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: I would have let Dak hit the market and press

878
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 1: the reset button. But this is a seventy nine year

879
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: old billionaire. You know, good luck him doing that. He's

880
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:35,400
Speaker 1: going all in now. I do think there is a

881
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: window here for UH Dallas next year to do some damage.

882
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: I do think there is a chance that they can

883
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: pull something off when the division maybe make a run

884
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: in the NFC. Here is audio of Jerry Jones ushering

885
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: in the Dak Prescott era where he's now getting forty

886
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: million a year. Most anything that I've ever been involved

887
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: then that ended up being special. I overpaid for every

888
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: time to the end. Anytime I've tried to get a bargain,

889
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 1: I got just that it was a bargain in a

890
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: lot of ways and not up to standard. If there

891
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 1: is a human breathing that I've ever met that I'm

892
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: proud that took advantage of me financially, I'm proud. It's

893
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: one sitting to the rich. I'm trying to get in

894
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 1: his head and understand what he's doing. Basically, he's saying

895
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Dad took advantage of him. Is that what he's saying

896
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 1: just very bizarre. It's also weird to say that we

897
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 1: overpaid as you're sitting next to him, like you're saying

898
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: that you're not worth this contract. I don't know. I

899
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: tried to spend it forward on Straight Fire this week.

900
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: So coming up next Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, Josh Allen,

901
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: there all gonna be on the clock for their salary,

902
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 1: UH their second contract. So if Dak Prescott with one

903
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: playoff wins, some good stats, some good stats, he ran

904
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: hot and cold, he had a massive injury. What are

905
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: you going to give Lamar Jackson who has an m

906
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: v P and three playoff trips? What are you going

907
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: to give Josh Allen who has back to back playoff

908
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 1: trips and just went to the a f C title game.

909
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: And that's what I Gavin. I'm struggling, like, does that

910
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: automatically mean, well, Dak set the market now Josh Allen

911
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: is gonna get forty two mill and Lamar forty one mill?

912
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: And like it can't possibly keep going up? Ken it? Well,

913
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: I think the um, the top of the top will

914
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 1: keep going up because the salary cap will go up right, Um,

915
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that if you have Lamar as

916
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 1: your quarterback you have to give him that contract. I

917
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: think the argument is should you sign him now to

918
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: a long term deal, because when you wait like the

919
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys did, and if you have to franchise Tag Lamar

920
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,359
Speaker 1: and then do the long term deal, you're gonna spend

921
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 1: a lot more money than you initially wanted to. If

922
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: you sign Lamar right now, it could feel it will

923
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: be a lot cheaper for you. Yeah, but don't. I mean,

924
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: since Dak just said it, right, doesn't that automatically mean that.

925
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean, unless you think Dak is better than Lamar

926
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: or Baker Mayfield. Well, I think he's better than Baker

927
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: for sure. I wouldn't. I've had better stats and Baker.

928
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: But I guess the counter would be, well, if I'm

929
00:48:38,840 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, hey, I had three coaches and finally I

930
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: get a good one, and look what I did. I

931
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: got us to the playoffs and I beat Pittsburgh. I mean,

932
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: you know, to me, when when it comes to Baker,

933
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 1: it's like, does he win you games? Or does he Yeah?

934
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean there's no doubt about that. So the Lamar

935
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: you could look at him and go, we've built this

936
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 1: team around him. We're gonna I to improve the wide receivers.

937
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: Is it best to lock him in now at an

938
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: appropriate contract? But the thing is, is Lamar gonna play

939
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: hardball and want this top money? Well he should. If

940
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: if Dak Prescott's getting that, I'm Lamar Jackson, I say

941
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: I need that or more. Okay, Well, Lamar, you've got

942
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 1: to understand you're not going to have a roster. That's

943
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: because Lamar, you need a lot of help. Lamar needs

944
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: a lot of help around him. He can't win in

945
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs right now. His team is only gonna get

946
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: worse if he takes on more money in the Rocks.

947
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't agree, but he's gonna lose Orlando Brown. That's

948
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: one of the best tackles in football, right, I mean,

949
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: his wide receivers are nothing to scream about. And yeah,

950
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: I mean Dak has far. You could argue that Dak

951
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: has been given a way better chance than Lamar Jackson.

952
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: Dak had that great offensive line. He gets a Marii Cooper,

953
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: he gets Ezekiel Elliott, like Lamar Jackson doesn't have anybody

954
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 1: nearly good, and you could say he's done more with less, right, Yeah, absolutely,

955
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: If I was Lamar, I would want to knock out

956
00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: the contract Act pretty soon and do the signing bonus

957
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 1: upfront thing so that the it gets spread out so

958
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 1: your team isn't in cellary cap hell. But and you'll

959
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 1: get you'll get paid, but you're not gonna be you know, top,

960
00:50:15,239 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: You're never gonna be the best quarterback in the league

961
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: with with just the way that he plays, like I

962
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 1: just I don't I don't see it happening I mean

963
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's really hard because he's he's so flashy

964
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 1: in the regular season, but in the end off in

965
00:50:29,200 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: the postseason, teams kind of figure him out. Okay, So

966
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: if if if you're Lamar and and they come to

967
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: you with a contract that's one cent less than Dak Prescott,

968
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: do you take it? I would if I was in Wow. Now,

969
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: I guess the other argument for Dac is he was

970
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick. He was only making like eight

971
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars only of course in air quotes, folks,

972
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: and Lamar was the first round pick he had he

973
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,919
Speaker 1: was getting more, so the Cowboys had to owe Dak,

974
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: which I think is a stupid, idiotic explanation. Um Like,

975
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: if I'm Lamar Jackson, I say, listen, you can't tell

976
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: me that Dak Prescott is a better quarterback than me

977
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 1: if you don't come to me with a similar contract,

978
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,680
Speaker 1: meaning exactly as much as DA got, spread it out

979
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: however the hell you want. But I want that money

980
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 1: or I'm out of here. I don't know how you

981
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 1: can argue that Lamar doesn't have a case. Like it's

982
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: a tough one. It's not easy because I'm with you, Gavin,

983
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to pay my quarterback forty mill back.

984
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: Here on Fox Sports Radio live from the Farmer's Insurance.

985
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Studios called what Farmers to switch and

986
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: you could save a bundle on your auto insurance. It

987
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: sounds like the bodies are dropping in college basketball. Michigan

988
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:55,359
Speaker 1: second leading scorer, uh, some kind of foot injury out indefinitely.

989
00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: It sounds like his season's over. Um that prompted Gavin

990
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,720
Speaker 1: to take Ohio State today. I'm already on pot, committed

991
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: to Michigan, favored by six. Looks like it's at six

992
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: and a half, Gavin, it is. That's where I got it,

993
00:52:08,880 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: So we can both still come out. Okay, yeah, one

994
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: of us. I'll like one of us. I guess you

995
00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 1: can't push the six and a half. So but yes

996
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: so uh and then um, I just saw another kid,

997
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: the kid who was on fire for ohiose date from

998
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: deep yesterday at like three threes in the first ten minutes.

999
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,760
Speaker 1: He's out with a concussion, took an elbow to the head,

1000
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:35,479
Speaker 1: and so Ohio State and Michigan both down a star.

1001
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: It's weird. No Kentucky, no duke in the n c

1002
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 1: A Tournament. I don't know if that's happening. It's got

1003
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: to be over twenty years, right, I was saying, I

1004
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: don't I believe it's it's over forty years that that

1005
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: Kentucky and Duke have not been the tournament. I believe

1006
00:52:56,560 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: I saw that. Yeah, it's been over four decades. So

1007
00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: you guys know this, um every year you want someone

1008
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: that everybody's gonna dislike to root against, usually as Duker Kentucky.

1009
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: Who is that team this year? Are people going to

1010
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: root against Gonzaga chasing perfection? Hard to say. I don't

1011
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: even know if there's any like program with a lot

1012
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: of known players to dislike, Like Zion was the I

1013
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: mean in the last tournament nineteen I remember Zion was

1014
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: like the show. You had to watch Zion and they

1015
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 1: had a game against Virginia Tech that was thrilling, then

1016
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: the Michigan State game which was incredible, Like you had

1017
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: to see Zion. I don't who's the musty guy in

1018
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: this tournament? Luca Garza, No, Kate cunning hemis Illinois. I had,

1019
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 1: so who's uh, you know, probably the highest rated prospect

1020
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 1: coming out of the tournament in terms of NBA potential.

1021
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 1: I think Sugs of Gonzaga is better, cutting hands better maybe, like,

1022
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: but you know, he's just a fresh I mean so

1023
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:01,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if people know him as much that

1024
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 1: he pays out in you know, scare West Coast. Yeah

1025
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,600
Speaker 1: that's fair. Um, yeah, it's I'm gonna have to come

1026
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: up with a team that everything Michigan run. As a coach,

1027
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: I think the coach doesn't matter. Well, did you see

1028
00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: what happened yesterday with Jowan Howard? Yeah, the Maryland coach. Yeah,

1029
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: which he had a great line because I guess he said.

1030
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: The Maryland guy was saying that your banners, dart hanger banners,

1031
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: your banners come down. That's pretty funny. It's pretty funny. Um.

1032
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 1: As you can tell, we're excited here about the n

1033
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: C tournament. I want to go back to the NFL

1034
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: real quick. And my radical idea and Sean not seampage.

1035
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh was the first to float it. When do

1036
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: we see an NFL team draft a quarterback, high ride

1037
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: them through the first five years and then just reset

1038
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: and start over with a new quarterback. When are we

1039
00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 1: going to see someone do that? And mcveigh's kind of

1040
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: doing it at the Rams. He Rode Golf gave him

1041
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: the contract, realized this is untenable. We've got to move on,

1042
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: and he is pivoted to Matt Stafford. Now Stafford obviously

1043
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 1: makes real money. But I'm talking about just restarting the cycle.

1044
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: I don't know when we're gonna see that, but somebody

1045
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: is going to try it, because it's a tough sell

1046
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: to tell Baker Mayfield. Hey, man, I know Dad got

1047
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: all this money, but Baker, we ain't given it to you.

1048
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here and argue Baker, he

1049
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: has not been better than Dak. Lamar Jackson has been

1050
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:39,640
Speaker 1: better than Dak, and I would pay Lamar, but again,

1051
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: Lamar has his limitations as a passing quarterback, and you

1052
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 1: could argue, well, he does have receivers. Well, you can't

1053
00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: get receivers where he's getting forty mill And that's why

1054
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 1: Dallas's window is like one year, because then you gotta

1055
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,080
Speaker 1: pay Cooper and Gallop and Zeke Elliot's getting old in

1056
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: the offensive line, like it ain't gonna work. When will

1057
00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: we see someone just start the cycle anew? Despite highs,

1058
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: that's the problem once you get high. The Rams got

1059
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl with golf. It's tough to just

1060
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 1: say we're moving on now. Golf was not the driving

1061
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 1: force behind that team that got to the Super Bowl.

1062
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 1: You need some luck, right if you guys remember Dak

1063
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: beat uh Seattle then had to go to the Rams,

1064
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: the ram rs for like two yards and then they

1065
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: got kind of lucky against the Saints in the NFC

1066
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: Championship game with that non pass interference call inside the

1067
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: tent and then the Rams. You know, golf was shook

1068
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: for the entire Super Bowl. Couldn't do anything. By the way,

1069
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 1: kind of tough for golf. He bought a place kind

1070
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: of near me, not super close now not really walkable. Uh.

1071
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if he bought it with his Instagram

1072
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: model girlfriend, but they got a place in Hermosa Beach

1073
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 1: And now he's going to Detroit. And by the way,

1074
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: how piss how upset whips that? What's that? I said?

1075
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: Vacation home? Yeah, he can have a vacation home, but

1076
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: you can't really use it. Uh you know, I mean,

1077
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: you know it gets pretty cold into it, does I

1078
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,400
Speaker 1: guess during the off week we know where he's going

1079
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 1: to be. But how ticked is golf? Kenny Golladay does

1080
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: not get the franchise tag, like golf is going there.

1081
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: You're like, oh, I got Kenny Gollady, top ten receiver,

1082
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: and I got a good young tight end in Hockinson.

1083
00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 1: We got some other good receivers and now Galad is gone.

1084
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: It's like holy Cow after him. The other receiver apparently

1085
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: um spacing on his name, Jones. Jones looks like he's

1086
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna end up with the Rams because he likes Stafford

1087
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: and he wants to try l A. It is very funny,

1088
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: and we got a guess coming up in a second.

1089
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 1: But there is something to warm weather. J J. Watt.

1090
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys saw this. Obviously he

1091
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: picked the cardinals and then he took a picture this

1092
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: week from a golf course and he was like does

1093
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: it get any better than this in March or something

1094
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: weather related? And all these people getting angry at him,

1095
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: And why would you get angry at him if you

1096
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 1: have the choice to live in whatever weather? Yeah, why

1097
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: would you live in wants to live in a snowstorm

1098
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: all the time. If l A can ever figure out

1099
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 1: their tax situation, and I have zero chance that they will, Gavin,

1100
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: you have less than zero chances yeah. I mean I

1101
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: also my other problem with California is where are my

1102
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: tax dollars going? Because when I drive into Santa Monica

1103
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: and there's people living in the park, where where are

1104
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,439
Speaker 1: my talk? You know? That's what That's why I don't

1105
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: buy into the oh, well, you're paying for luxury. You're

1106
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 1: not paying for luxury out here. The weather is really

1107
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 1: nice weather, and the beaches are come on. The streets

1108
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: are not so and that's the problem. Florida is the

1109
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: other really attractive, uh locale for athletes. And I don't

1110
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw the report from Windhorst, a

1111
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty NBA players descended on Miami over all

1112
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: Star weekend. You know, all Star weekends in Atlanta. A

1113
00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 1: lot of athletes went to Miami to party. We'll get

1114
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 1: back of this because listen, Florida's not without its own

1115
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: major wartz um. You know, there's all these jokes about

1116
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 1: how Florida is Heaven's waiting room because it's so old,

1117
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: and then of course there's you know the crazy Florida

1118
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 1: people and yeah, but you know what, anyone that works

1119
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:17,120
Speaker 1: in sports, you need to thank Florida. They were the

1120
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: one state that kept everything running and random bubble, the

1121
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: w W E everything you everything was down there back

1122
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. It's me Jason McIntyre live

1123
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: from the Farmer's Insurance Fox Sports Radio Studios called Farmers

1124
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: and you could save a whole lot of something on

1125
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 1: auto Insurance. Let's welcome in Jerry Palm, CBS Sports College

1126
00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: Basketball Bracket Guy analyst, Jerry, how are you man? All right?

1127
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm watching this America East Championship. I

1128
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: am financially invested in U Mass Lowell, but they are slow.

1129
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 1: They're very slow to get out of bed this morning. Um, Jerry,

1130
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you quickly. Let's start with

1131
00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:02,000
Speaker 1: the big news and Virginia with a COVID test in

1132
01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 1: the a SEC, Duke with a COVID test Kansas. We

1133
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: know Duke will not be dancing, but I'm curious as

1134
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:13,480
Speaker 1: to what you've heard about Virginia and Kansas. Uh in

1135
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: regards to COVID in the n c A tournament. Well, Kansas,

1136
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: I think it was Bill self said that they still

1137
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: planned to travel to Indianapolis on Monday without the players

1138
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: that tested positive. Now I assume that that is, you know,

1139
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 1: if no one else tests positive as well. Um, the

1140
01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 1: n C double A has said that if you want

1141
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: to play games with five players or fewer, you can

1142
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 1: are not five players, are more at least five players.

1143
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 1: He can be hard to play with less. Um, but

1144
01:00:43,960 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: if you start a game with five, at some point

1145
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 1: you're playing with less anyways. Um, So Kansas is planning

1146
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: to go. Uh, we haven't heard anything about Virginia. There

1147
01:00:53,120 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: may be some issues with the local health authorities there um,

1148
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: possibly requiring them to quarantine. Um, but that's I haven't

1149
01:01:01,880 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 1: heard anything that's confirmed. I don't have any good information

1150
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,520
Speaker 1: on Virginia. But they haven't confirmed that they're going yet.

1151
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 1: And they have a it's eleven fifty nine pm Eastern

1152
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 1: time deadline to let the committee know what they're going

1153
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: to withdraw in advance of the bracket being announced. And

1154
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: that's today, right, Yes, so Jerry, I, receiving and selecting

1155
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: is done by then, and and tomorrow is largely practicing,

1156
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 1: right So Jerry, I gotta ask, um, what is this whole? Like?

1157
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna have backup teams in case, uh, you know,

1158
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: there's a COVID outbreak elsewhere. Forget about Virginia and Kansas

1159
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: for a sec I don't know. If somebody tests positive

1160
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: on a sixth seed that already got eliminated, I don't know.

1161
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,400
Speaker 1: You pick a team Baylor, Um? You know, so there's

1162
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 1: a backup team that's gonna be waiting to join the

1163
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: tournament that's currently quarantining. So yes, the the selection committee

1164
01:01:57,400 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 1: for the n C Double A, as part of their

1165
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: process us the first four teams that they leave out

1166
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: of the at large pool are the number one season

1167
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: the n I T. And if they've been doing that

1168
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: now for a little while anyway, um, but this year,

1169
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 1: those four teams they will still be the first four

1170
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,919
Speaker 1: seeds in the n I T. However, if someone has

1171
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 1: to withdraw from the nt Double A tournament between the

1172
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: time the bracket is announced on Sunday night and forty

1173
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: eight hours later, so six o'clock Eastern Tuesday night, they

1174
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: will pull that team out of the bracket and take

1175
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: the first team off the the first four out pile

1176
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: and stick him into that same spot of the bracket.

1177
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:38,720
Speaker 1: So you could get an n I T worthy team

1178
01:02:38,760 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 1: as like a three seed if say Texas had to

1179
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: drop out. Uh, but after the brackets announced and then

1180
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: after that Tuesday night deadline, um, there will be no

1181
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 1: more substituting of teams. If anybody has to drop out,

1182
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: that's just a hole in the bracket. Jerry, what's your

1183
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,280
Speaker 1: confidence level right now that this will go off without

1184
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: a hit? To be honest, Oh, I don't think it's

1185
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: realistic to expect with the kind of season that we've

1186
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: had and all of the games being canceled that we

1187
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: had during the regular season, for you not to mention

1188
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: the conference tournaments, but just the regular season. I don't

1189
01:03:13,080 --> 01:03:15,959
Speaker 1: think it's realistic to expect the committee to be able

1190
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: to announce at eight team bracket with the sixty eight

1191
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: teams that they want and get sixty seven games played

1192
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,840
Speaker 1: with those teams. That's just not how things have gone

1193
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: this year. Now, they've they've put a lot of you know,

1194
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: protocols in place. They've created as much of a bubble

1195
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 1: as they reasonably can for sixteen. But it's not perfect.

1196
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 1: It's not what the NBA did, which worked out very well. Um,

1197
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: But they've done the best they can with this. But

1198
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: it's just it's just not realistic to expect this to

1199
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: work perfectly. We just hope that we get through enough

1200
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: of this tournament and crown you know, a legitimate champion.

1201
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: Uh and have our March madness back in some fashion.

1202
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to play go in too much hindsight,

1203
01:03:57,080 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 1: but maybe they should have done championship week, waited a

1204
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: week to quarantine, and then uh you know maybe after

1205
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: ten days done the n c A tournament. Right, would

1206
01:04:07,360 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: that have probably been smarter? Um? Yeah, I think if

1207
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: they could have pulled that off, you know, to have

1208
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: a selection Sunday b you know, a week before the

1209
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: tournament starts for a a week and a half because it

1210
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 1: usually starts mid week, versus um, the way they're doing

1211
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: it now. Um. You know, some people say, well, the

1212
01:04:26,360 --> 01:04:28,360
Speaker 1: conferences should have just moved their tournaments or there. The

1213
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:29,760
Speaker 1: n c Double A should have made them do that,

1214
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: but then Double A can't tell them when to do

1215
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 1: their conference tournaments. Um. So yeah, it would have been

1216
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: probably wise to build a cushion in there. I'm sure

1217
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: they had logistical reasons why they didn't feel like they

1218
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: could do that, but um, they that that we're gonna

1219
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: go with what we got. Yeah, all right, let me

1220
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: ask you. We'll talk about Jerry Palm, CBS Sports College

1221
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: Basketball Analysts, Bracket Guy. Jerry, what are we looking at

1222
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 1: for Luca Garza and Iowa. Are they definitely a two seed? Uh?

1223
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 1: If I was assuming if they win today, those lock

1224
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,440
Speaker 1: into two. But do you see them falling at all?

1225
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 1: Because you know, to the naked eye, they they're basically

1226
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: Garza and a cloud of dust. It just doesn't seem

1227
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 1: like a great team. And we do have an Iowa

1228
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: fan here in the building, so I'm not crushing them,

1229
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,520
Speaker 1: but I see some holes here, Jerry, Are they a

1230
01:05:15,560 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: two seeds? I'm I'm a pretty guy, so I see

1231
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 1: a lot of Iowas they Yeah, I think that there

1232
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: are two seeds. With what they've done. They come on

1233
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: strong here at the end of the year, played pretty well. Uh.

1234
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I was not convinced that Iowa was gonna be They

1235
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: might be a high seed, but I didn't think they

1236
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: had a long tournament run in them because I didn't

1237
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: think they cared enough about defense. But in the last

1238
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: few weeks, we're starting to see them care more about

1239
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: defense and uh, and I think they gives them a

1240
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: chance to make a deeper run. But I think a

1241
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: two seeds is probably their floor, but it it might

1242
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,680
Speaker 1: depend on what happens in some of these other championship games.

1243
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of teams left playing, and the

1244
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: top four big ten teams are and I've got them

1245
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: all on the one and two line, and if they're

1246
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:02,800
Speaker 1: playing each other, they're not really hurting themselves that much. Yeah,

1247
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I kind of would agree, now, Jerry, next question is

1248
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: I totally don't understand which team everybody's gonna gravitate toward

1249
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: in terms of dislike. Usually it's Kentucky, Duke, the teams

1250
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 1: with the one and done guys. I haven't I can't

1251
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: come up with a team this year for everybody to dislike.

1252
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 1: It certainly is not Gonzaga. Who are we looking at? Yeah,

1253
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 1: that's a good question. I don't know. Um, because well,

1254
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm a pretty guy, so I would normally

1255
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: just like Indiana. But they're not around either. They're out,

1256
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Duke's out, Kentucky's out. Those are two pretty polarizing teams,

1257
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: right You either love them or you or you hate them. Um. Yeah, well,

1258
01:06:39,680 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't hope we've got anybody like that in this

1259
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: bracket right now. Do you think that hurts? Uh? I

1260
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe a black hat will emerge, um, you know,

1261
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,680
Speaker 1: some podople will do something that you know, some punk

1262
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 1: play somewhere and makes everybody hate their team. But um,

1263
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: I know, I don't. I don't think it helps. It

1264
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: hurts the tournament. There's there's always stories, storylines in the tournament,

1265
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: but people like to they like the upsets early on

1266
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 1: at least uh And and those stories, and they'll gravitate

1267
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 1: towards those teams. But I don't know if there's anybody

1268
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to see lose their first game. How

1269
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: about this Cave Cunningham pulls a Danny Manning uh and

1270
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: and makes a run to the national title and wins it.

1271
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Any what's your percentage chance of that? Well, yeah, it's funny.

1272
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: I probably would have grabbed Kemball Walker's name. But okay, Well,

1273
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: well the whole Cave Cunningham thing is Danny Manning's uh

1274
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,640
Speaker 1: father was brought on the Kansas coaching staff, and of

1275
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: course Kate Cunningham's brother was brought on the Oklahoma State

1276
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: coaching staff. So it's like that's how you got to

1277
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 1: get a star. Yeah, so well he's capable of that.

1278
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: The difference between um, what Oklahoma State would do and

1279
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: and what either Yukon or Kansas would have done, it

1280
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: that Oklahoma State is going to be a pretty high feed,

1281
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 1: whereas Kansas was an eight or something like that. Yeah,

1282
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: and Yukon was a seven TIMBA Walkers, they weren't going

1283
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 1: to make the tournament before the Big East Tournament's right,

1284
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: so um yeah, So those two guys took lower seeded

1285
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: teams to to hire places, whereas Oklahoma State's late season

1286
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: run means that they could be. I've got him as

1287
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: a two in the bracket today. Wow, as a two

1288
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: ye oh, so that's not as much of a Yeah,

1289
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: that's not that much of a Cinderella one. But all right,

1290
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: and and that's their seeing. They're not gonna be a

1291
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: one even if they win today. But um that they're

1292
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: uh yeah, they're not. They're not coming from a six

1293
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 1: or a seven like those teams did. All right. Jerry

1296

Speaker 1: we'll follow you throughout the tournament. It's me Jason mcintar

1297
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 1: live from the Farmer's Insurance. Fox Sports Radio Studios called

1298
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: Farmers Today for a quote. Russell Mania, Russell Mania, how

1299
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: about that? This Russell Wilson sent to Chicago. I should

1300
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: not have teased it that way. That was very negative.

1301
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: It's an interesting topic for this reason. Only why the

1302
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,599
Speaker 1: hell would the Seattle Seahawks do that? Like what what?

1303
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't care what the Bears are offering. The only

1304
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,920
Speaker 1: way you move on from a great guy like Russell Wilson,

1305
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback, a face of the franchise guy has

1306
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: gotten you to two Super Bowls, who has kept you

1307
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,080
Speaker 1: five or better every year, has you in the playoffs

1308
01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 1: every year except one year, is if you have a

1309
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,680
Speaker 1: plan now. The Bears cannot offer you a pick in

1310
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: the top five to get a quarterback. They can't the Bears.

1311
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people forget this. I almost

1312
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: forgot it. Bears made the playoffs last year. They didn't

1313
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: show up against the Saints and they got boat raced.

1314
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 1: But they are the twentieth pick in the draft. Can't

1315
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: get a quarterback at twenty. We don't even know Mac

1316
01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: Jones and Trey Lance a falling of fifteen. So I

1317
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,080
Speaker 1: don't care if the Chicago there's off of you three

1318
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: first round picks. What does it matter if they're twenty

1319
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 1: fifteen and twenty three, Like that's not anything that's a

1320
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:13,879
Speaker 1: bunch of nothing. You're throwing darts in the early twenties

1321
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:16,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft, you just are. I mean, I

1322
01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: think last year the Eagles took Jalen Reagor something like one,

1323
01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: and then the next pick was Justin Jefferson. Jalen Reagor

1324
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:29,920
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing as a rookie. Justin Jefferson, absolute beast, like

1325
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:38,320
Speaker 1: historically great. So like you're throwing darts in the even

1326
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,840
Speaker 1: in the late teens, you are. I just there's no

1327
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: logical reason that Seattle would trade Russell now. Now, the

1328
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:47,759
Speaker 1: best thing I did hear on Russell west Russell Wilson

1329
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:51,440
Speaker 1: is that this could be his final year in Seattle.

1330
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,759
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that means Seattle starts the

1331
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: plan for what happens next, but they haven't had a

1332
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: backup there and forever, and Gino Smith as a former

1333
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: Jets guy, I'll just tell you that's not a backup plan. Um.

1334
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 1: So that's my hot Russell Wilson take Um. I just

1335
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 1: I don't did I say Russell Westbrook Wilson Westbrook? By

1336
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: the way, where is Russell Westbrook now Washington? He's in

1337
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: the game, not in the All Star Game. He's not

1338
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,639
Speaker 1: playing well this year at all. Russell Wilson still at

1339
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: the top of his game. I I just I don't

1340
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,800
Speaker 1: see it. And by the way, the Deshaun Watson stuff

1341
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 1: runs hot and cold. Right, Deshaun Watson's like the new

1342
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: coach Culli explains on a podcast. Yeah, he's our quarterback

1343
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,599
Speaker 1: for now. We actually had the audio of that. Okay,

1344
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 1: let's play it. David Culley, new Texans coach, on DeShawn Watson. Hey,

1345
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,000
Speaker 1: coach Carl, you've said repeatedly the team is committed to

1346
01:11:55,479 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Is he committed to you and the team? Yes,

1347
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,479
Speaker 1: he is. How do you know that? Well, he's a

1348
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,320
Speaker 1: Houston Texan and and and and again. I know that.

1349
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: I feel like that with the commitment that we've made him,

1350
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,800
Speaker 1: and I feel like that that same commitment will be there,

1351
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 1: uh with us also moving forward. Yeah, pretty bad explanation.

1352
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 1: He's committed because he's a Texan committed to what. He's

1353
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: that committed to anything. Honestly, I feel bad for David Kelley.

1354
01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: He reminds me of the Leslie Nielsen Gift, where it's

1355
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 1: like there's nothing going on here, everything is okay. He's

1356
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: a puppet like, he's a placeholder. He's a he's a

1357
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,640
Speaker 1: coach that was brought in to do the you know,

1358
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 1: the emperor's bidding, whether that's Jack Easterby or their owner

1359
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: kell Nick mcni they're they're going nowhere fast. That that's

1360
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: a cell franchise right now. And you know, they've got

1361
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,559
Speaker 1: so much toxicity in the building. I don't know how

1362
01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 1: you quickly fix that. It's gonna take a couple of

1363
01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: years to get the stench out of it. We did

1364
01:12:57,640 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: see them signed mark Ingram and you know why that

1365
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: It is because like mark Ingram had no options. Was

1366
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:04,360
Speaker 1: he a thirty one year old running back. You gotta

1367
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: take whatever you can get at this stage. So essentially

1368
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 1: the Texans are, hey, if you want to play football,

1369
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: we will pay you to do that. While everyone else

1370
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,640
Speaker 1: is building championships, the Texas are gonna be bad for

1371
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: a little minute. They just are San Antonio Spurs by

1372
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the way. Things are going down in Texas. Oh, we

1373
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: gotta get back to that topic. I should write it down.

1374
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 1: Texas is an appealing state for athletes, is it not.

1375
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: I mean, we I know some people out here in

1376
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 1: l A who have moved to Texas. Texas is kind

1377
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: of a wide open state, right they lifted the band

1378
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 1: on masks. Um, I heard a funny anecdote that, like,

1379
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: you can go anywhere and do anything in Dallas and

1380
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: Huston in the state of Texas, but the Dallas Mavericks

1381
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:50,679
Speaker 1: have to be in quarantine. Like little funny is also

1382
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:53,320
Speaker 1: people being like, hey, you don't have to not wear

1383
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:55,840
Speaker 1: a mask. You can choose to wear a mask. That's

1384
01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: what I've been advocating for this whole time. Do not

1385
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: have mandates. Let people have personal choice. Yeah, I mean

1386
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 1: it's suddenly that's a great idea. I don't know. It

1387
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,920
Speaker 1: is weird how quickly things have gone gotten better here.

1388
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean, my kids are both in school four days

1389
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: a week. Now it's only half half days. But I mean,

1390
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:16,640
Speaker 1: you know, three months ago we were just bemoaning the

1391
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: fact that like there is really no school, and now

1392
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 1: things are getting better in California, and um, you know,

1393
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: maybe life will improve and this summer will be a

1394
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,719
Speaker 1: fun one. But we still have not booked any any

1395
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: real vacations because it's some nonsense. I won't mention with

1396
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: the school and attendee quarantine. Alright, coming up next final

1397

1405
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: It's starting to feel like it used to on Saturday's right.

1406
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: College football season never felt the same because you know,

1407
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,599
Speaker 1: there was rarely games Saturday at noon on the East Coast.

1408
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 1: Now noon on the East Coast on this Saturday, we've

1409
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 1: got college basketball. Yes, there were some COVID issues, Um,

1410
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,400
Speaker 1: there probably will be some more in the next week.

1411
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 1: I I'm really curious to see how the n c

1412
01:15:36,479 --> 01:15:40,080
Speaker 1: A Tournament handles it. If like the three seed all

1413
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: of a sudden has a COVID scare and after it

1414
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:46,599
Speaker 1: wins its game, can't play the next game because someone

1415
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: tested positive. Like that's just gonna that's gonna stink all around.

1416
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: I'm a big March madness guy. I know it doesn't

1417
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: play that well on the radio. We'll do a little

1418
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:59,560
Speaker 1: of it from time to time, some gambling obviously. UM

1419
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm why watching you mass Lowell here start the second

1420
01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 1: half against Hartford, and um, let's just say, I don't

1421
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 1: think you mass Lowell is gonna get me to the window.

1422
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,839
Speaker 1: I got him plus two. They're down by five eighteen

1423
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 1: minutes left, so an eternity and you mass Lowell has

1424
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 1: been a comeback team all season. But it's been a

1425
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: pretty decent week in sports. I would say you had

1426
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: some Dak Prescott insanity in in Dallas, and it's it's weird, Gavin.

1427
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this a thing about race,

1428
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: but it is weird how it kind of became a

1429
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,560
Speaker 1: thing about race, Like, oh, nobody wants to pay the

1430
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: black quarterback forty million? Less about that? I mean I

1431
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 1: already said I'm not interested in pay in Baker Mayfield

1432
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 1: forty mill. But he's got the same number of wins

1433
01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is Dak Prescott. And like Dak Prescott,

1434
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: good quarterback, good stats, he also has failed consistently, especially

1435
01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and the important games that matter to

1436
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 1: help get them to the playoffs, he could never deliver.

1437
01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: You can look at the stats. Guys pull him up.

1438
01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: I know, the def and stunk in. But at some

1439
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: point everybody has to overcome the foibles of the rest

1440
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,679
Speaker 1: of the team and carry the franchise to new heights.

1441
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 1: And I haven't seen Dak do that. Um. But I

1442
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,760
Speaker 1: also think you look at the team he's on, and

1443
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 1: if your team is playing the Cowboys, the number one

1444
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 1: thing you're thinking about is how bad their defense. It's

1445
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: not about how great Doc is and how scary he is.

1446
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: It's not so I would worry as a Cowboys fan,

1447
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: how are we gonna sure that up. We've already paid

1448
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: guys that aren't at their own you know, they can't

1449
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 1: get rid of DeMarcus Lawrence and stuff, you know, so,

1450
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:43,880
Speaker 1: um and he's their best defender, right and what's the

1451
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Jalen Smith the Notre Dame line? Yeah? Um, So there's

1452
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot of issues there, And that's kind of what

1453
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: it comes down to you for paying these young quarterbacks.

1454
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: Like the same thing with the Browns. You're not looking

1455
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: at them worrying about Baker good you know, have any

1456
01:17:59,160 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: quarterback in there. I find it interesting that Baker kind

1457
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: of thrived without oh b j Um And like I

1458
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:09,840
Speaker 1: don't know how dangerous they are. Like I like their

1459
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: coach a lot, Stefanski, but I don't know if with

1460
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: Baker and O'Dell and they'll have Landry and I mean

1461
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: Chub and uh, who's the other guy? Um? The other

1462
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: running bout Kareem Hunt? Like they've got players. They were

1463
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: in that game with the Chiefs before Mahomes got injured

1464
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: when they should have could have stole the game. They

1465
01:18:31,920 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 1: had chances. They just you know, I really liked their

1466
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: head coach, and I think the real question for me

1467
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 1: is again the defense. And you mentioned it with Dallas,

1468
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: like Dallas defense question, Buffalo defense could not really stop

1469
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes did what he wanted at some I know

1470
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 1: we don't say, don't we say offense matters now and

1471
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: defense isn't as important and the quarterback's rule, But on

1472
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:56,960
Speaker 1: some level you gotta get stops. And look at the

1473
01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl Tampa Bay defense dominant Chiefs. I mean Super

1474
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: Bowls was two months ago or six weeks ago. They

1475
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 1: didn't score touchdown? Right, yeah, Chiefs And yeah, the way

1476
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: I think of it, if your team is going to

1477
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: play either the Browns or Cowboys in January, who are

1478
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: you more scared of I kind of would Lean Brown

1479
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 1: would still have the best defender, right, Myles Garrett. They

1480
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: can run the ball. It's going to be snowing most

1481
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: likely if it's in a weather cold weather place. I mean,

1482
01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: you know. And so the Cowboys, congratulations. Jerry always pays

1483
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: his guys, in his own words, overpays his guys. But yeah, yeah,

1484
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: so NFL is having a wild week free agency starting up.

1485
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: We still don't know some of these high paid guys

1486
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: like Von Miller. Is he coming back in Denver? We

1487
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: don't know what's up with Denver quarterback? Uh, it sounds

1488
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: like Aaron Jones the Packers are running back. Well, we

1489
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: know he's hitting free agency, but is he going to

1490
01:19:57,040 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: return to Green Bay? I don't see that. Mean they

1491
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:04,720
Speaker 1: basically just told you we're not paying you. And you know,

1492
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: if you've got options and you'r Aaron Jones, you're going

1493
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: to the highest bidder. Same deal with Shack Barrett. Guys

1494
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: like I like Shack Barrett a lot. I know he

1495
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,040
Speaker 1: would love to win again. You already won the Super

1496
01:20:16,080 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: Bowl your t in November. You want to win a

1497
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? What's your best chance? You already got one?

1498
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: Now you gotta go get paid because football, we know,

1499
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 1: the NFL not for long. I don't know I'm going

1500
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 1: to get paid. I was surprised the Buccaneers paid or

1501
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: gave the franchise Tactor Godwin over Barrett. Yeah, I thought

1502
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 1: of you know, I think that's probably a keep Tom

1503
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:43,599
Speaker 1: Brady happy deal, right, maybe, but Godwin wasn't his favorite target,

1504
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:46,320
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I think Brady, you know, we

1505
01:20:46,360 --> 01:20:49,679
Speaker 1: saw him restructures deal, right, so gives the nineteen million

1506
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,680
Speaker 1: dollars more in cap space. Patrick Mahomes just did the

1507
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 1: same thing to to help his own team out. I

1508
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,559
Speaker 1: was tinkering Gavin with the idea Brady all of a

1509
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 1: sudden like gotta tinker with his deal, and now is

1510
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:08,760
Speaker 1: gonna stick around longer. And you almost wonder if you

1511
01:21:08,760 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: remember how the NBA was hurting and Michael Jordan said,

1512
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 1: I'll find I'll come out of retirement and play for

1513
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: the Wizards. Like we saw, the NFL took a hit

1514
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: when Peyton Manning left. He was really one of the

1515
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 1: faces of the league. I think the league will be

1516
01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:28,519
Speaker 1: fine if Brady retires, But he's hanging on a long time,

1517
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: is he not? He might play at least forty five.

1518
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 1: That might really be a thing. He said this like

1519
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:36,640
Speaker 1: two years ago, and everybody laughed. It's like, you just

1520
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 1: want a super Bowl at forty two, right or is

1521
01:21:38,520 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: here he's Forty's gonna be forty four in August, so

1522
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna play the forty five. That's crazy. So

1523
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: when Brett Farve finally retired, he was forty one. That's

1524
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: funny because I still think of far as older than

1525
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,400
Speaker 1: Brady is right now. Yeah, Farve did not take care

1526
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,360
Speaker 1: of his body. Yeah you know, and uh we know

1527
01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:08,360
Speaker 1: he had the I shouldn't laugh extra curricular and like

1528
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: he looks like an old man now when you see

1529
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,439
Speaker 1: him when interviews, he looks like a fossil Brady. You

1530
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: look at him, he's like thirty five, Brady, Well yeah,

1531
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 1: at Yeah. This TV twelve stuff is no joke. I

1532
01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I need to get on that. Um.

1533
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:28,360
Speaker 1: I will say, like I played basketball this week. I'm

1534
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: starting guys. I don't know if anybody else out there,

1535
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: but like you just start to feel creaky, oh my

1536
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: lower back, like I've been standing for the last hour

1537
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:37,880
Speaker 1: doing the radio show because my lower back tightens up

1538
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: like that never happened. My knee a little creaky. You know,

1539
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm trying to lift to get back in shape. And

1540
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:46,439
Speaker 1: not that I'm out of shape, but I'm trying to,

1541
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 1: you know, still stay in my prime. It's tough. I

1542
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: should start running, but I'm not. And like I guess

1543
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:56,440
Speaker 1: the three most important things for the for an individual

1544
01:22:56,479 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: besides family, like, you need your health, and you want

1545
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: wealth and you want happiness. Right, those are pretty much

1546
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: that's not the same order I would say. But if

1547
01:23:09,160 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: you can nail those, life is good. And I mean,

1548
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: if you're healthy, you're probably happy. If you're wealthy, you're

1549
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: definitely happy. Well I shouldn't say definitely because I know

1550
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: some people would push back on that, but like you

1551
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: look at a guy like Brady, he's got it all.

1552
01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: He's healthy, he's wealthy, he's happy. Just want another Super

1553
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: Bowl like a lot of people want that at his age.

1554
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't know, Gavin. I know you're big

1555
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: on the stock market and crypto. Have you done any

1556
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:41,599
Speaker 1: NBA top shot? Later? No, I was going to mention

1557
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:44,480
Speaker 1: to you if you feel like you're being too sedentary

1558
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 1: during your podcast, Um, you can do what my fiance

1559
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:50,599
Speaker 1: just did and get a standing. No, no, no, it's

1560
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: not just that. So that the treadmill. The treadmill knew

1561
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:55,880
Speaker 1: about this, I've heard of it, but I mean I

1562
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:59,160
Speaker 1: don't know. She's she's doing ten thousand steps a day

1563
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:03,600
Speaker 1: while in zoom meetings all day. It's hilarious. So is

1564
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: her video one and they see her moving? Well she

1565
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:11,000
Speaker 1: can yeah, she can turn it on her off. But interesting, Um,

1566
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's very Uh. I just think it's hilarious

1567
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 1: how things change over time. The standing started with the standing,

1568
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 1: and now it's the I like that. So you could

1569
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:27,760
Speaker 1: do a podcast while giving a hot take while walking steps. Yeah, no,

1570
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: that's good. And you I mean, everybody's working from home now,

1571
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: so I'm at the computer chair a lot. Um. Yeah,

1572
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:38,960
Speaker 1: that the standing treadmill. So you're basically just walking your

1573
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:43,880
Speaker 1: place one point are you breathing? No, he because you

1574
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: know it's uh like one point two or one point

1575
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,640
Speaker 1: five speed. I think it's not crazy fast, and uh,

1576
01:24:50,680 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: it's very effective. So at the end of you you're

1577
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: kind of walking and not even noticing really yeah yeah,

1578
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,439
Speaker 1: and then you're chewing up the steps. I like that.

1579
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: Well you guys, don't, I got the whoop if you

1580
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:01,719
Speaker 1: follow me on Instagram. I've been posting about the Whoop,

1581
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: like it's telling me last night that I didn't get

1582
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 1: good sleep because it tracks your r e M based

1583
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: on your heart rate UM because of where the watch

1584
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 1: is located on your wrist, and I didn't get a

1585
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,000
Speaker 1: good sleep last night. So it's telling me, like, listen,

1586
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:18,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna need a nap today. And I kind of

1587
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: like that. I liked somebody telling me I need a nap.

1588
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,559
Speaker 1: And that's what, honey, I say, Can you take the

1589
01:25:24,600 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: kids out of you take a four hour nap? No, No,

1590
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: it's not a four hour I mean you know, in

1591
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:31,600
Speaker 1: a one hour nap and boom, you're recycled. Your body's recharged,

1592
01:25:31,880 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: and like, we need that stuff. Guys, you gotta listen

1593
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,960
Speaker 1: to your body, and you know, we all push ourselves hard.

1594
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:41,639
Speaker 1: But yeah, a little plug here for a TV show

1595
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm watching called The Nick What's so Funny about? It's

1596
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: on HBO Max. It was originally on Cinemax. Clive Owen

1597
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: is the start of the show. So the whole thing

1598
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:57,000
Speaker 1: is it's very early nineteen hundreds and it's about medical

1599
01:25:57,040 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: science and the advancements. Okay, so Edison even makes an apperience.

1600
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: But what's cool is you're seeing how much things, how

1601
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,479
Speaker 1: quickly things changed with technology, and this is kind of

1602
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: what we're talking about right here, and take advantage. We

1603
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,639
Speaker 1: have so much more you know, science and technology now

1604
01:26:14,880 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 1: and you're you're taking advantage of it with the whoop

1605
01:26:17,760 --> 01:26:20,559
Speaker 1: um and it's just it's so yeah, a little shameless

1606
01:26:20,560 --> 01:26:24,599
Speaker 1: Pugs on HBO Max very good. While we're plugging TV shows. Now,

1607
01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: I've got to stop asking Iowa Sam if you watch

1608
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 1: his shows, because he just doesn't. But depends. Have you

1609
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,920
Speaker 1: heard of the show Fleabag I believe so. Is that

1610
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 1: like a British Yeah, I say, I've heard of it.

1611
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,479
Speaker 1: I've heard. You got to check it out. It's it's

1612
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:44,760
Speaker 1: not bad. I'll just say this. It gets a little

1613
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 1: dark near the end of the first season, Gavin, have

1614
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 1: you seen it? I haven't. I've seen like one episode.

1615
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:54,800
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's funny. There is a lot of language

1616
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: and sexual situations that are funny and good. Um oh, overall,

1617
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,640
Speaker 1: it just gets dark pretty quickly, and you're like, oh,

1618
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:09,000
Speaker 1: what's the show that got Jason Bateman? Um no, no,

1619
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:12,160
Speaker 1: no Ozark. Yeah, yeah, that one got dark. And there

1620
01:27:12,240 --> 01:27:14,760
Speaker 1: was a moment where I'm watching it with the wife

1621
01:27:14,760 --> 01:27:16,800
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't know, man, this this is

1622
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 1: this is some negative really and then it got like

1623
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: out of that quickly. Fleabag same deal. They balanced the

1624
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: comedy with the dark stuff, so and it works. That's

1625
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 1: a tough needle to thread. But if you can do it,

1626
01:27:29,880 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 1: oh those are those are really good shows. So I

1627
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:36,640
Speaker 1: would recommend Fleabag. We just started season two. Um, you

1628
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: guys know how would love to give out recommendations. We

1629
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:42,120
Speaker 1: need like an ongoing chart because I still haven't got

1630
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: to your traffic. I know you guys are keen on

1631
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: the show traffic. So the America East Championship kind of

1632
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: getting heated, you masked Lowell not going away down to

1633
01:27:56,240 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: ten minutes left. There is something even if you don't

1634
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Speaker 1: know the players, there is something I love about freaking March.

1635
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: So I'm live from the Farmer's Insurance. Fox Sports Radio

1636
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: Studios called one at eight Farmers to switch and you

1637
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,640
Speaker 1: could save a bundle on your auto insurance. Here's what

1638
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: I love. A lot of these guys playing college basketball

1639
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:22,240
Speaker 1: right now in Division one. Our Seniors Championship week will

1640
01:28:22,280 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: be the final time a lot of them ever put

1641
01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:29,800
Speaker 1: on a jersey and lace them up in a game

1642
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: that matters. Rec leagues they don't count. You might be

1643
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: playing against a guy like me going to Europe. There

1644
01:28:37,000 --> 01:28:40,839
Speaker 1: isn't the same camaraderie that you spent with the guys

1645
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: in the dorm and hanging out for four years. Like

1646
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,720
Speaker 1: this is it, This is the end. And that's why

1647
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 1: I love this championship weeks so much. Um And I

1648
01:28:50,080 --> 01:28:52,400
Speaker 1: know I shouldn't. I sound like I'm stuck in college

1649
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, but there is something to like,

1650
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,759
Speaker 1: I don't know about you guys. I remember my final

1651
01:28:57,840 --> 01:29:00,559
Speaker 1: like days at college and you knew it was it

1652
01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 1: was ending, like it's over. You're had an awesome run.

1653
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:08,360
Speaker 1: It was fun and now like the real world beckons

1654
01:29:08,439 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: and you've got to get a job. And if you

1655
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 1: want to try to delay the inevitable, you can go

1656
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:19,760
Speaker 1: to grad school and do more school and then you

1657
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 1: get a job. But when college, it's like I still

1658
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:27,439
Speaker 1: remember the final weekend graduation and the parties, and like

1659
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:31,200
Speaker 1: I haven't gone back to my college campus since I graduated,

1660
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 1: not once it it would hurt. Like when you're there,

1661
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:38,439
Speaker 1: it's incredible, it's amazing. You another worry about your in college,

1662
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,600
Speaker 1: play video games, screw around whatever. I didn't have a

1663
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 1: good g p A. I just love the hell out

1664
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:48,719
Speaker 1: of life. Like you could make mistakes and it didn't

1665
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: totally matter. Not I mean not major mistakes. Obviously you

1666
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,240
Speaker 1: can't make massive screw ups. But like once that ends,

1667
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: like the rest of your life, you're working. And I

1668
01:29:57,080 --> 01:29:58,720
Speaker 1: don't want to sound like I don't like work. I

1669
01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 1: love work. You gotta find up then you're passionate about

1670
01:30:02,439 --> 01:30:04,840
Speaker 1: and I don't know, Gavin, you feel the same way.

1671
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: Watching Championship we can all like you mass Lowell versus

1672
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: Hartford heated game. Yeah, and it's in a lot of ways,

1673
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,719
Speaker 1: it's the ultimate team sport because you now, these teams

1674
01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: don't last that long because they're in college, right, But

1675
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,240
Speaker 1: it's fun every year and you go, oh, you know,

1676
01:30:23,320 --> 01:30:26,920
Speaker 1: there's Zach August again. I remember him from There's these

1677
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: guys you just remember year and year out, and um,

1678
01:30:30,800 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, I just I remember like a lot

1679
01:30:32,680 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: of teams that way. You know, there was Jim or

1680
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: for Debt, but there was also all the other guys

1681
01:30:37,080 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: around him that were there the whole time, and um,

1682
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of emotion because of that, this

1683
01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: is the last athletic you know, pursuit for these guys.

1684
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:47,479
Speaker 1: For a lot of them, they're never going to see

1685
01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:51,439
Speaker 1: the NBA. UM. A lot of them aren't interested in

1686
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 1: going overseas because they don't speak a different language. It'll

1687
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 1: be really tough, you know, it's not um. So this

1688
01:30:56,840 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 1: is kind of the last you know. Yeah, and I

1689
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: think it's neat because I was, you know, working on

1690
01:31:03,720 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: Doug Show this week, and I told him the other day,

1691
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it's funny. A lot of you know,

1692
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,639
Speaker 1: casual fans you get to March and you go, oh, yeah,

1693
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 1: college basketball is awesome, Like we all forget that, you know,

1694
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't have enough time in January or

1695
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,439
Speaker 1: December whenever to to watch these games. You can't even

1696
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: watch regular season basketball right now. A lot of times,

1697
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:25,880
Speaker 1: like it's it's getting to that point where you're like, okay,

1698
01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: I'll start tuning in more, but there's only so many hours.

1699
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 1: You can't forfeit every single weekday, night to sporting event.

1700
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, definitely, like I used to. I was

1701
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:39,400
Speaker 1: that guy six seven years ago watching regular season college

1702
01:31:39,400 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 1: basketball just because I loved it. But now you get

1703
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,439
Speaker 1: out of college long enough and you're like, you know,

1704
01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:47,639
Speaker 1: unlike Iowa Sam, who's wedded to the Hawkeyes and follows

1705
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:51,160
Speaker 1: her every move, are you following the Iowa women's basketball team. Yeah,

1706
01:31:51,720 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 1: probably not as much, but yeah they're Yeah, they're in

1707
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 1: the final. I think, yes, they're solid every year. I

1708
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 1: don't know, there's just something to that. I was trying

1709
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,760
Speaker 1: to remember that. Matt Farrell was who I was trying

1710
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 1: to remember, and he's on Notre Dame point guard s

1711
01:32:06,560 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: point guard. Yeah, and that's what I'm thinking of when

1712
01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:12,320
Speaker 1: I think about these teams where these guys aren't gonna

1713
01:32:12,360 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: go far in the NBA or anything or even get drafted,

1714
01:32:15,479 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 1: but there they show up. You see them every year

1715
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,720
Speaker 1: and and it's in one month of the season of

1716
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 1: the year, and um, yeah, it's very exciting. On that

1717
01:32:24,160 --> 01:32:25,600
Speaker 1: one quick story before we get to the back to

1718
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:28,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, I was I played in a pickup basketball league.

1719
01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 1: We'll not pick up, but I played in a basketball

1720
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: league out here. Um, and you know, you see these

1721
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:37,800
Speaker 1: guys who are like really big, and you're like, oh

1722
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, that guy's incredible, six six white guy. The

1723
01:32:41,320 --> 01:32:43,479
Speaker 1: game before us, he would just stroke, threes, go inside,

1724
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,439
Speaker 1: get whatever you want. I'm like, man, that guy's awesome. Goodness,

1725
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:48,800
Speaker 1: who is he? Like, oh yeah, he played D two.

1726
01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:50,519
Speaker 1: You know, he's average, like twenty two a game. I

1727
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:52,840
Speaker 1: was like, he didn't even make Division one and you're

1728
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,400
Speaker 1: just watching this guy. How good are the we scoff

1729
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 1: at the America East? Who cares? I'm telling you, man,

1730
01:32:58,880 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 1: these guys are really really incredible. I'm always amazed, and

1731
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:03,960
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do this. You watch

1732
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: college basketball and you see these small schools. You'll see

1733
01:33:06,520 --> 01:33:10,040
Speaker 1: Wyoming and there's these really talented guys, and you go,

1734
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:14,799
Speaker 1: it is amazing that there's that much talent in the country.

1735
01:33:15,000 --> 01:33:18,920
Speaker 1: Like there's that many young kids that are athletic enough

1736
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:23,040
Speaker 1: to play college basketball. It's phenomenal. That's why you imagine

1737
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: who gets on Duke, who gets on North Those are

1738
01:33:25,880 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 1: the best of the best crop. Remember that Kentucky team

1739
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:34,760
Speaker 1: undefeated one with Towns. That team was like an it

1740
01:33:34,840 --> 01:33:38,160
Speaker 1: is I have maybe after the interview, um, we'll we'll

1741
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 1: go to a quick thought on like the future of

1742
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:43,640
Speaker 1: these one and dunes. But it is interesting Duke in Kentucky,

1743
01:33:43,880 --> 01:33:48,599
Speaker 1: king of the one and Dunes, neither going dancing this year. Um,

1744
01:33:48,600 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: so he's going to be the start of a trend.

1745
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 1: Can I ask you? Because we saw Duke in Kansas

1746
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:56,760
Speaker 1: both of their tournaments get ended abruptly because of a

1747
01:33:56,840 --> 01:34:01,960
Speaker 1: positive COVID test. Should a positive test end a team's

1748
01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:03,800
Speaker 1: run in the tournament? Because I think that is what

1749
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:07,280
Speaker 1: will happen right now? Correct? Well, okay, so I think

1750
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 1: the tournament is Friday and Sunday and then Sunday and

1751
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 1: Saturday and Monday. So let's say you play Saturday and

1752
01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 1: then on Sunday you test positive. Are you automatically out

1753
01:34:20,280 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 1: for the next weekend? Because I know in the NFL

1754
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 1: they shrunk that window to like three to five days

1755
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: as opposed to what it was before it was like

1756
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:33,759
Speaker 1: seven to um seven ten. But based to college basketball

1757
01:34:33,840 --> 01:34:37,439
Speaker 1: is being extremely cautious as they should. I just wonder

1758
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:40,479
Speaker 1: we're a year into this, Gavin. You know, well, I

1759
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:43,080
Speaker 1: just to me, it makes me think of the Super Bowl.

1760
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:45,320
Speaker 1: And remember there was a thought of, you know, there's

1761
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 1: two week layoff if Patrick Mahomes test positive, are we

1762
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,520
Speaker 1: gonna you know, is Chad Henny going to be the quarterback?

1763
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,880
Speaker 1: And then there was kind of this notion that look,

1764
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 1: the NFL is going to keep it under wraps, like

1765
01:34:56,840 --> 01:34:59,559
Speaker 1: if if there is a positive, Like I kind of

1766
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,280
Speaker 1: remembered people thinking that if Brady and Mahomes got it,

1767
01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:04,400
Speaker 1: you're not you're not going to hear about it. Well,

1768
01:35:04,720 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that. The only way they would is if,

1769
01:35:08,439 --> 01:35:11,280
Speaker 1: like so many tested positive, they kept it under wraps,

1770
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,120
Speaker 1: and then it got out and like everybody on both

1771
01:35:15,160 --> 01:35:18,919
Speaker 1: teams got you know, something bad happened. But I'm still curious.

1772
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:21,400
Speaker 1: Game seven of the World Series, I think, right, game

1773
01:35:21,439 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 1: seven or maybe it was six, the third basement on

1774
01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 1: the Dodgers tested positively, right, so he would not have

1775
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: been able to play the next game. Do we ever

1776
01:35:31,360 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 1: find out, like, did anybody else test positive after that?

1777
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,880
Speaker 1: Or that was game six and there would have been

1778
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 1: a Game seven. Um, there were some staff members that

1779
01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 1: tested positive, but they weren't even in Texas, I don't believe.

1780
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,360
Speaker 1: So they tried to sort of tie those two things together,

1781
01:35:46,439 --> 01:35:48,599
Speaker 1: but I don't think they were related to Justin Turner.

1782
01:35:48,760 --> 01:35:53,320
Speaker 1: And there was the whole well, uh, the celebrating on

1783
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:54,800
Speaker 1: the field and they wouldn't let him and he was

1784
01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 1: just like, screw it, I'm celebrating, you know, like it was,

1785
01:35:57,560 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 1: and then there were these kind of helicopters scots where

1786
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,439
Speaker 1: you could see him celebrating with the team and like, yeah,

1787
01:36:04,040 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 1: he's going to knock him. But again this what was it,

1788
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 1: um September? Yeah, that was That would have been October

1789
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 1: and it was getting bad again in October. But man,

1790
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,520
Speaker 1: it's just crazy to like just even think about this.

1791
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: This is like really like a lost year, um kind of.

1792
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's weird to think about the year

1793
01:36:24,680 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 1: we just had in the titles we just had and

1794
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: it was all during a pandemic and that thing we

1795
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: just saw, like you just talked about with the Dodgers,

1796
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 1: will never see that again where a third baseman gets

1797
01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: pulled in the final inning or whatever it was, and

1798
01:36:39,080 --> 01:36:42,439
Speaker 1: player he's got like the eighth guy on the basketball team. Yeah,

1799
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 1: he's integral to that on the hot corner and they

1800
01:36:45,120 --> 01:36:48,839
Speaker 1: had to pull him because of a test And it's unreal.

1801
01:36:49,240 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 1: The sky seems to be falling for Patriots fans. They

1802
01:36:52,400 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 1: cannot believe that Cam Newton is coming back. Let's welcome

1803
01:36:56,479 --> 01:36:59,160
Speaker 1: into the show. Uh. Friend of the show, Greg Bdard,

1804
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:03,320
Speaker 1: you guys know his work well Boston Sports Journal, started

1805
01:37:03,400 --> 01:37:06,960
Speaker 1: his own website probably be bought out pretty soon because

1806
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:10,559
Speaker 1: it's so profitable and impressive. Greg, how are you, man?

1807
01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 1: What's up? J Mac? I don't know. I mean, you

1808
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,879
Speaker 1: got a lot going on here with Cam Newton. Goodness, gracious,

1809
01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,519
Speaker 1: I gotta say you were on the whole. Hey, Jimmy

1810
01:37:20,560 --> 01:37:24,200
Speaker 1: Garoppolos plan A. I think everybody thought that and now

1811
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:28,080
Speaker 1: it's Cam Newton. Uh shocked? What's the what's the word

1812
01:37:28,120 --> 01:37:31,439
Speaker 1: to describe your thoughts on it? No, not shocked at all,

1813
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 1: and in fact, in fact, on my podcast, I think

1814
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:36,920
Speaker 1: it was a week ago or ten days. I don't

1815
01:37:36,920 --> 01:37:38,519
Speaker 1: know if what that was before the Jimmy talk and

1816
01:37:38,560 --> 01:37:41,880
Speaker 1: this all fits together, I called it a fad, a

1817
01:37:41,920 --> 01:37:44,320
Speaker 1: complete that Cam Newton was going to be back with

1818
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:48,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots. That I had come to the realization. It

1819
01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:50,679
Speaker 1: was actually in the same podcast where I talked about

1820
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:54,280
Speaker 1: Jimmy that I was just I talked to my Patriots

1821
01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:58,599
Speaker 1: sources and I just and I came away saying, sorry

1822
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:02,040
Speaker 1: to say this, but the more you talk to people

1823
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:05,160
Speaker 1: around the team, the more they were talking, they seem

1824
01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:08,880
Speaker 1: to be talking themselves in the camp like basically they

1825
01:38:08,880 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 1: had said, Bill has made his decision, he loves Cam

1826
01:38:13,360 --> 01:38:15,559
Speaker 1: for a variety of reasons. He gives them a lot

1827
01:38:15,560 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: of cover with players in the league. He can attract

1828
01:38:18,880 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 1: some of the players in the league. He says all

1829
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:24,040
Speaker 1: the great things about the Patriot Way, all that stuff,

1830
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:27,840
Speaker 1: All that stuff appeals to Bill. And when I was

1831
01:38:27,880 --> 01:38:30,120
Speaker 1: talking to people about a week to ten days ago,

1832
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 1: I was just like, Holy crap, this is gonna happen.

1833
01:38:32,680 --> 01:38:37,080
Speaker 1: They are really gonna bring Cam Newton back. And you know, now,

1834
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,960
Speaker 1: in hindsight, we can sort of see the difficulty in

1835
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,559
Speaker 1: the timing. And I also want to call him saying,

1836
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, look, Jimmy Garoppolo, it doesn't matter what Cam's

1837
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,840
Speaker 1: contract does not preclude them for doing anything else. Right now,

1838
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Cam is a placeholder. He is Look, we might not

1839
01:38:55,320 --> 01:38:57,559
Speaker 1: have a chance at Garoppolo, We might not have a

1840
01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 1: chance at anybody we not. We might not be able

1841
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:02,760
Speaker 1: to trade up in the first round. We might not

1842
01:39:02,840 --> 01:39:06,559
Speaker 1: have a quarterback available or in the second round that

1843
01:39:06,600 --> 01:39:08,840
Speaker 1: we think is capable of competing for the starting job.

1844
01:39:09,280 --> 01:39:13,439
Speaker 1: So if the worst case scenario happens that everybody stays

1845
01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:17,320
Speaker 1: where they are, basically as far as the quarterback dominoes go,

1846
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:19,680
Speaker 1: what the hell are we going to be left with

1847
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:23,280
Speaker 1: and the Patriots thought it's better to get Cam now

1848
01:39:23,880 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens later on because he's been

1849
01:39:26,040 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 1: in the system, right, he knows, uh knows the bill,

1850
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:33,639
Speaker 1: the layout of Bill Belichick and mc daniels, what they like. Um,

1851
01:39:33,760 --> 01:39:36,559
Speaker 1: is there a silver lining saying, you know what, we

1852
01:39:36,600 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 1: had the most opt outs of anybody in the league.

1853
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: We didn't get the offseason to get our guys coached up.

1854
01:39:44,000 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 1: It just went all right, and we were still close

1855
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: to making the playoffs. I think they missed it in

1856
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:51,400
Speaker 1: Week sixteen or fifteen I lost to Buffalo. But there's

1857
01:39:51,439 --> 01:39:53,000
Speaker 1: a chance that this could be a ten win team

1858
01:39:53,000 --> 01:39:56,679
Speaker 1: next year. It's possible. Look, I'm not gonna rule it out,

1859
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 1: j Mac. But and this is what I told to

1860
01:40:00,320 --> 01:40:03,080
Speaker 1: some of my Patriots sources. When you know, I was

1861
01:40:03,120 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: just like, holy crap, they're really gonna do this. They're

1862
01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,400
Speaker 1: gonna bring back Cam. And I said, look, the bottom

1863
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:10,599
Speaker 1: line is this, And and there was I forged forget

1864
01:40:10,640 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: what point um last season, But I I remember telling people.

1865
01:40:15,080 --> 01:40:17,600
Speaker 1: I was like, look that I'm out on Cam, like

1866
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:20,639
Speaker 1: it's over, Like he can't he can't operate the offense.

1867
01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:22,880
Speaker 1: And and and I was one that was going to

1868
01:40:22,960 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 1: have faith and look, circumstances were certainly against them while

1869
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,879
Speaker 1: it was COVID, Cam getting COVID. The lack of talent

1870
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:33,720
Speaker 1: and holy held. But talent has just been terrible at

1871
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver and tight end the past two years. I

1872
01:40:36,280 --> 01:40:39,200
Speaker 1: mean even Tom Brady had a losing record with that

1873
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:41,320
Speaker 1: sloped down the stretch two years ago, and all of

1874
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:42,960
Speaker 1: a sudden he goes someplace and he wins the super

1875
01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:46,439
Speaker 1: So so with the problem is so, but the the

1876
01:40:46,840 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: baseline j Mac is this and this is where I

1877
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 1: don't know how they get better. The two most important

1878
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 1: things in this offense is you need to win pre snap.

1879
01:40:57,439 --> 01:41:00,000
Speaker 1: You need to keep the team out of bad plays.

1880
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:03,000
Speaker 1: You need audible, you need that checks things like that.

1881
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:07,639
Speaker 1: Cam never ever progressed in terms of that last year, never,

1882
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:11,480
Speaker 1: not the whole year. And that's not something that that

1883
01:41:11,479 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: that couldn't be done. I mean it should be able

1884
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:17,960
Speaker 1: to be done. And the second thing is his throwing

1885
01:41:18,160 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 1: is just awful. It's just it got worse as the

1886
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:23,559
Speaker 1: season went along. He throws it like a javelin. It

1887
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:25,800
Speaker 1: takes him forever. He's got to wind up. It's a

1888
01:41:25,840 --> 01:41:29,320
Speaker 1: whole body convulsion and that just doesn't work in the scheme,

1889
01:41:29,360 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 1: which is quick, horizontal, and I don't think you can

1890
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:36,320
Speaker 1: custom Taylor this offense to Cam enough to really make

1891
01:41:36,360 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: it work. And I don't even know if it's worth

1892
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, that's kind of an indictment on Cam,

1893
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:43,920
Speaker 1: but that's the reality of a quarterback who's had shoulder

1894
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,200
Speaker 1: surgery what twice in the last four years? Um, So

1895
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,320
Speaker 1: let me ask, where do you think they do? Is

1896
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:53,640
Speaker 1: there a mac Jones affinity given the Belichick Saban connection?

1897
01:41:54,160 --> 01:41:57,360
Speaker 1: Is there? I don't know, some kind of Ryan Fitzpatrick

1898
01:41:57,439 --> 01:42:02,000
Speaker 1: pipe dream? Can m is up? One option? But you know,

1899
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 1: in reality, what else is there? Well? I think j

1900
01:42:05,160 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 1: Mac right now, this move takes them out of any

1901
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:14,800
Speaker 1: guys who were readily available. So it's Fitzpatrick, uh Tyrod Taylor, um,

1902
01:42:14,840 --> 01:42:18,080
Speaker 1: Alex Smith, any of those guys The Patriots basically looked.

1903
01:42:18,080 --> 01:42:20,400
Speaker 1: And I made this point last year and I got

1904
01:42:20,400 --> 01:42:22,800
Speaker 1: a lot of pushback from people. I'm like, look, would

1905
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,479
Speaker 1: you rather come in with a fresh guy and start

1906
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: this whole process over again? And I pushed back because

1907
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, oh, Alex Smith for

1908
01:42:30,800 --> 01:42:32,920
Speaker 1: next year, and I'm like, no, I'm not doing this again.

1909
01:42:33,200 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: We just I would rather have Cam back year two

1910
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:41,880
Speaker 1: in the system with some knowledge, with better weapons, then

1911
01:42:42,240 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 1: start all over again and start the process and have

1912
01:42:45,000 --> 01:42:47,799
Speaker 1: to go through Oh well, they're new to the offense

1913
01:42:47,840 --> 01:42:49,679
Speaker 1: in the first three games, so they're gonna be bad

1914
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 1: and this and that. No, we just so what was

1915
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: the point of for the Patriots? Like, at least now

1916
01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,439
Speaker 1: there's some continuity that gives me a I don't know,

1917
01:42:58,520 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: a shred, a glimpse of hope. But really, if you're

1918
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:06,080
Speaker 1: a Patriots fan, you were hoping the quarterback domino start

1919
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:09,519
Speaker 1: and the Patriots are able to get a you know,

1920
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:12,599
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo or a Gardner Minshew to come in here

1921
01:43:12,680 --> 01:43:18,040
Speaker 1: and go gardening. Oh that's spicy, al right. Greg Bdard,

1922
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 1: Boston Sports General, let me ask you, when you look

1923
01:43:21,040 --> 01:43:24,439
Speaker 1: at the a f c uh, it feels much stronger

1924
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:26,760
Speaker 1: than the NFC. Brady seemed to get out at the

1925
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: top of the market. I mean three three playoff teams

1926
01:43:30,080 --> 01:43:33,000
Speaker 1: from the North. I think Jacksonville is a much better

1927
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 1: team this year with Trevor Lawrence. Um Miami's was close

1928
01:43:37,200 --> 01:43:40,080
Speaker 1: last year. They got money to spending in free agency.

1929
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,040
Speaker 1: The Jets are not going to be a flaming dumpster

1930
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:44,920
Speaker 1: fire again. I love the Chargers with Herbert and year

1931
01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:47,920
Speaker 1: two Burrow is going to be better. I don't know.

1932
01:43:48,040 --> 01:43:50,120
Speaker 1: Is there a path to the playoffs for the Patriots

1933
01:43:50,120 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 1: in the a f C. Yeah, we'll have to see.

1934
01:43:53,320 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know it's it's so premature. I mean,

1935
01:43:56,600 --> 01:44:00,760
Speaker 1: with them sitting on sixty million in calf space. Um,

1936
01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to see the way it looks and what

1937
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,880
Speaker 1: they get. But sure I think there is. Like, look,

1938
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of things went right

1939
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 1: for Buffalo last year. I don't think that they're just

1940
01:44:11,680 --> 01:44:14,240
Speaker 1: automatically going to be at that level again. Maybe they will,

1941
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. If they proved me wrong last year,

1942
01:44:15,800 --> 01:44:18,599
Speaker 1: they'll probably do it again. The Dolphins, I don't even

1943
01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,479
Speaker 1: know if they know who their quarterback is for next

1944
01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:23,600
Speaker 1: year and whether two was the guy. So you know,

1945
01:44:23,640 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 1: we'll we'll have to see. Talk to me after the

1946
01:44:26,360 --> 01:44:28,719
Speaker 1: draft when I have a better better picture of where

1947
01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:32,560
Speaker 1: the entire Patriots roster. And by that time, by early May,

1948
01:44:32,800 --> 01:44:36,280
Speaker 1: we should know the final quarterback puzzle. Hopefully that somebody

1949
01:44:36,280 --> 01:44:38,800
Speaker 1: else in addition to Cam, but who knows. We'll wrap

1950
01:44:38,880 --> 01:44:42,599
Speaker 1: up with this Greg Tom Brady obviously won the break

1951
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:44,920
Speaker 1: up with Bill, that's no doubt. But did you see

1952
01:44:45,000 --> 01:44:48,559
Speaker 1: that he restructured his deal so that he's almost taking

1953
01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,960
Speaker 1: no money this season? And basically the Bucks are gonna

1954
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:53,600
Speaker 1: be able to run it back with I don't know

1955
01:44:53,640 --> 01:44:55,760
Speaker 1: if everybody stays like Shack Barrett's going to be the

1956
01:44:55,800 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 1: big one, but they're gonna have an option here to

1957
01:44:58,960 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: be very very good it Again, I'm stunned at this. Yeah,

1958
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:07,360
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I did they have a ton coming

1959
01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 1: back the Saints. Who knows what the Saints are going

1960
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,439
Speaker 1: to be with the cap jail that they're in, plus

1961
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:15,840
Speaker 1: no Drew Brees. I mean, look, j Mack, I think

1962
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,120
Speaker 1: you're we're gonna be talking about a legitimate chance for

1963
01:45:19,240 --> 01:45:22,479
Speaker 1: the Bucks to go nineteen and o next year. Wouldn't

1964
01:45:22,520 --> 01:45:25,439
Speaker 1: that just be the final kick in the can against

1965
01:45:25,479 --> 01:45:29,879
Speaker 1: Belichick that Brady actually completes what Belichick couldn't with the Patriots.

1966
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:33,200
Speaker 1: Whoa that? Now? That is the spiciest take we've had

1967
01:45:33,240 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: on here from many guests in weeks nineteen and old

1968
01:45:36,280 --> 01:45:40,240

1971
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:50,040
Speaker 1: I mean that is a haymaker. I think we're looking

1972
01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 1: at the Bucks having a realistic chance at nineteen and

1973
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:58,240
Speaker 1: oh something Brady couldn't do with Belichick. Oh boy, love it.

1974
01:45:58,520 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 1: We'll wrap up the show after this. This sounds like

1975
01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 1: a song that's big on TikTok? Is that right? I

1976
01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:10,040
Speaker 1: was saying it could be because it's on the billboard

01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:07,280
Speaker 1: little basketball workout mix. Congrats to Hartford winning the America

1992
01:47:07,360 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 1: Eastly you mass Lowell could not cash my ticket, just

1993
01:47:11,360 --> 01:47:13,320
Speaker 1: an action play to get the day started, and I'm

1994
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:17,960
Speaker 1: starting with a loss. That's not fun. Um sorry, how

1995
01:47:18,040 --> 01:47:20,160
Speaker 1: did your top Shot go? By the way? Oh? Top

1996
01:47:20,240 --> 01:47:25,960
Speaker 1: shot right right right? So I got a pack, and

1997
01:47:26,280 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 1: I got a Julius Randall and um Tyrese Haliburton, and

1998
01:47:33,160 --> 01:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I forget the other one. And I guess if you

1999
01:47:37,120 --> 01:47:39,400
Speaker 1: put it it, put like your cards in the top

2000
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: Shot market place, it'll tell you what they're worth. So minor,

2001
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 1: I got a pack and myke it says the cards

2002
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,800
Speaker 1: are worth like a hundred and forty five dollars, which

2003
01:47:49,120 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. So I have a buddy who

2004
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, how do I sell them?

2005
01:47:54,240 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: They're like, oh, my buddy will give you a hundred

2006
01:47:57,320 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 1: fifteen for all three of your cards, and I was like, okay,

2007
01:48:02,560 --> 01:48:05,840
Speaker 1: But then I asked Preston, the guy who comes on here.

2008
01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:07,719
Speaker 1: He's like, you could probably get that for the Randall.

2009
01:48:08,080 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I'm not gonna do it.

2010
01:48:10,439 --> 01:48:13,439
Speaker 1: But here's where it gets weird. Top Shot has changed

2011
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 1: things in the last week. There used to be this

2012
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: thing where you can do you can gift cards to

2013
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:21,400
Speaker 1: somebody and they can pay you in venmo, so you

2014
01:48:21,600 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 1: avoid the five percent surcharge that Top Shot makes. They've

2015
01:48:26,360 --> 01:48:29,120
Speaker 1: now removed that, so they have to take they want

2016
01:48:29,160 --> 01:48:31,960
Speaker 1: to take a cut of everything. So, like, I don't know,

2017
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: apparently Top Shot changed a lot of the rules. There

2018
01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:35,960
Speaker 1: was a story in the Wall Street Journal about some

2019
01:48:36,400 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 1: some guy buying up all these Lebron highlights that are

2020
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:43,559
Speaker 1: now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. And I don't know, man,

2021
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:48,760
Speaker 1: I just Gavin. I feel it's just again, I'd like

2022
01:48:48,840 --> 01:48:51,719
Speaker 1: to get in a real debate with somebody who works

2023
01:48:51,800 --> 01:48:53,439
Speaker 1: at Top Shot, but I don't want them coming on

2024
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: and like then it's like I'm promoting their stuff and

2025
01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 1: I don't want to do promotional because I don't want

2026
01:48:58,600 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 1: you guys getting sucked into this. I just it feels

2027
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:05,720
Speaker 1: gimmicky to me. This n f T digital art. Have

2028
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,639
Speaker 1: you seen how this stuff is all? It's really on Clubhouse.

2029
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 1: They're always talking about n f T s. I just

2030
01:49:12,320 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 1: it's a tough sell this. I mean, I still like

2031
01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:20,839
Speaker 1: physical cards, comics stuff that is a physical Physical cards

2032
01:49:21,320 --> 01:49:23,840
Speaker 1: have value because you have it in your hand. You

2033
01:49:23,920 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 1: can sell it. Maybe nobody else has that card, that

2034
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:30,080
Speaker 1: Ken Griffy junior rookie that everybody has, but maybe nobody

2035
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:34,479
Speaker 1: else has it. They want it the digital any digital highlight.

2036
01:49:35,080 --> 01:49:37,000
Speaker 1: I can go on the internet and save it to

2037
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:41,559
Speaker 1: my phone. I've got it. I've got Edgar Martinez getting

2038
01:49:41,640 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 1: the hit into the outfield, Ken Griffy Jr. Sliding into

2039
01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:46,760
Speaker 1: home plate and the Mariners beat my Yankees in a

2040
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 1: thrilling game playoff game back at like years ago or whatever.

2041
01:49:51,160 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 1: Like I can save that highlight to my phone and

2042
01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,120
Speaker 1: watch it all the time. So what's the matter if

2043
01:49:56,200 --> 01:50:02,160
Speaker 1: someone owns that and says it's worth dollars? Like, I

2044
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:06,040
Speaker 1: don't know, that's the problem. Like, you can own any

2045
01:50:06,160 --> 01:50:08,800
Speaker 1: highlight you want, save it to your phone, and then

2046
01:50:08,840 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 1: you can look at it all the time, go on YouTube,

2047
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: you could screen your cord on your phone. Now you

2048
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:17,000
Speaker 1: have that, you know, I guess the only option is is,

2049
01:50:17,240 --> 01:50:19,600
Speaker 1: you know, top shot, We'll have whatever graphics are on

2050
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: their whatever water mark that kind of thing. But I

2051
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: don't Why does that matter? Because you're being told it matters,

2052
01:50:27,720 --> 01:50:29,600
Speaker 1: and that's the thing. Just know that the NBA is

2053
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:31,720
Speaker 1: behind this. I know it sounds I'm funny duddy, and

2054
01:50:31,720 --> 01:50:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm not fun and I'm not getting in on game

2055
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:36,320
Speaker 1: Stop and a m C. By the way, you don't

2056
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: own any game Stop, do you get it? Um? No,

2057
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 1: I sold it. I wish no. I would have made

2058
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,120
Speaker 1: more money. Fed he hold onto it. It came back.

2059
01:50:45,479 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 1: Where is it now? I mean I thought it went

2060
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:52,599
Speaker 1: back down. I don't know. Roadbox is doing really well.

2061
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,240
Speaker 1: I did not do it though, I told you. I

2062
01:50:55,280 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 1: mean it's too high. I think the move is so

2063
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 1: once they go public, all the shareholders they can't sell

2064
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,799
Speaker 1: their stock. They have to hold it for six months

2065
01:51:06,280 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 1: or a year or whatever that time period is. So

2066
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:11,160
Speaker 1: they want to cash out. So they're sitting on millions

2067
01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,920
Speaker 1: of dollars, but they can't cash out because they have

2068
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 1: to hold it for a certain amount of time. Game

2069
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:18,880
Speaker 1: Stop is evaluated at two sixty seven right now, or

2070
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 1: that's what it's worth. It's trading at um, which is

2071
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:28,840
Speaker 1: still no. I thought it was like no, no, um,

2072
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: it went back up to three like thirty game Stop.

2073
01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I was thinking of roadblocks. Oh no, no,

2074
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:40,720
Speaker 1: what's going on with games? Why are people buying this now? Well?

2075
01:51:40,760 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 1: I think it's the Wall Street bets thing and uh,

2076
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:48,200
Speaker 1: you know made the resurgence hold the line. I think

2077
01:51:48,280 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: you're mad because you didn't get in on it doing

2078
01:51:51,200 --> 01:51:55,200
Speaker 1: these fly by night stuff. Man, I'm sorry, I'm in

2079
01:51:55,320 --> 01:51:58,400
Speaker 1: on You've got like there's everybody wants to get rich

2080
01:51:58,520 --> 01:52:01,639
Speaker 1: quick and that just does not exist. It just doesn't.

2081
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:03,960
Speaker 1: You can think it does, but it doesn't. Jason, you
