17
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: I had this weekend. I'm at this weekend. Yeah, there's

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: like seven days off in between the finals game.

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: It is.

20
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: Well, look that that's you know, that's that's how it goes.

21
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: Now in the final they got to get the ratings up,

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, Game wait a couple of days, Game two,

23
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: we wait four days Game three. We wait, we get

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: to build up the legend of Halliburton. Yeah, he's the

25
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 2: greatest thing there ever was blurt. We'll get to the

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: Pacers in a second. But uh, because I'll tell you

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: exactly the effect this Pacers team is going to have

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: on the NBA for next year. I can already see

29
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: the copycat thing the teams are going to say, Okay,

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 2: we are taking this from the Pacers and we're seeing

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: if we could do it ourselves. The mediocre in the

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: regular season, when we get to fifty wins, we get

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: to fifty wins, we just stop. All right, we stop

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: at fifty. It's all we need to make the playoffs,

35
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: that's all we need to go. But seriously, I mean this,

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: this Stanley Cup Final between the Panthers and the Oilers.

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: Brad Marshan scores in overtime. I mean, what can you say?

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: He had the shorthanded goal to gi him the lead

39
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: in the second period. Now he has the breakaway goal

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: in overtime to win, and an phenomenal move with when

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: when Dreysidel is coming at him from the side, he

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: puts the puck on his backhand, on his strong and

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: it's a strong shot. That eludes Skinner, first player to

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: ever do that in the Stanley Cup Final shorthanded and

45
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: then breakaway in overtime. I really I want this to

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: be a seven game series. We talked about, great it's

47
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: gonna be. This is so incredibly deflating. You're going from

48
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: the Oilers tying this game with seventeen seconds left in regulation.

49
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 2: Corey Perry scores when the Oilers had an empty net

50
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: for the final three and a half minutes of this game. Right,

51
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 2: they're at home, they tie the game, they go to overtime,

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: and the place is going crazy. We're gonna win, and

53
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 2: to have this pulled out from under you and the

54
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Panthers win. They're so dominant at home. Now they get

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: to go back to Florida after this, two more games

56
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 2: at home at this point, I'm gonna say Panthers in five. Well,

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: but think of also the ramifications of what could have

58
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: been right, how quickly it could have been all right,

59
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: season's over right based on that goal with seventeen seconds

60
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 2: left to tie it. I mean, oftentimes you just see, okay,

61
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 2: that's that's it. That and how many series, how many

62
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: games have we seen, regardless of sport, where you have

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 2: that one instance that just takes all the wind out

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: of your sales. Uh, and you're you're lucky to get

65
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: yourself back together to give a competent effort to let

66
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 2: next time out, let alone get a w How many

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 2: times just you pack it in so to come back

68
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: and get the win in dobt Absolutely huge. I know

69
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 2: a lot of folks are salty. You know my family

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: down in Florida. Sure, mom probably wasn't up for the

71
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 2: final U. So I have to call and wait at

Speaker 1: By the way, he ran with a pretty good gait

117
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: after the game. So I'm not buying the broken toe.

118
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:02,919

122
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,919
Speaker 1: This is what happens when you break it on the

123
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: man short stops toe.

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: This is what happened. I've read a thing where they

125
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: they said Goodman was having problems with it, potentially disturbing

126
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: the neighborhood. When he was gonna smash the windows so

127
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: they paid everybody to go just go somewhere else. Oh really,

128
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 2: I didn't know that put them up in hotels, everybody

129
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: on that block. Okay, that's pretty cool.

130
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: Speaking of The Big Lebowski, you realize that poster you

131
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: gave me years ago, Jason, Yeah, you know that's an original.

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a nice one, right, Yeah, it's worth it's

133
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: worth a lot. Like what's it worth? If you had

134
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: known that, you probably wouldn't have game Big Lebowski.

135
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 3: It's actually an original? Is that a Double Sider movie poster?

136
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 3: This is actually from the movie company. This is a

137
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: it's I looked it up. Okay, I probably should have

138
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: kept it.

139
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 2: Wow. How much is it worth? More than your life? Okay? Wow?

140
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: Than your life? Okay?

141
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: What I can find on the internet is one hundred

142
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: and forty five dollars. Like I said, is it more

143
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: than that? More than your life? Okay, it's more than that. Okay,

144
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: I had it looked at.

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: Okay, Oh really, Wow, you got this from the guy

146
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: that works at the movie company.

147
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So how much is it worth? I can't

148
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: tell you? Why can't you because you're gonna want to

149
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 2: back I gave it to you. It's yours. I gave

150
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: it to you. Let's just say I put it in

Speaker 2: that's good. That's good.

153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: See that's a movie plot line where someone gets that

154
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: and someone breaks into their house.

155
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: To take that, to take that back. Oh, I gotta

156
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: get that back from Frostburg. And I'm putting on like

00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: No, you can't have it back. No, I don't want

168
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: it back. I want to be in the will. You're

169
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: not in the the win out of the will, but

170
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to be in the will. I'm out

171
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: of the ups. You know what you shouldn't bargain for

172
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: what's that? No more duck rivers. Yeah, yeah, you can

173
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: have it back if that's a good it's not worth

174
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: that much. Now, look the pay was we get ready

175
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: for Game three Sunday this week Sunday. Yeah, the rest

176
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: of the rest of the time, the NBA is good

177
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: to play on Saturday. But when when we get to

178
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 2: the finals, we got to play on Sundays. So what

179
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: impact are the Pacers team? Is this pace team gonna

180
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: have on the NBA for next year? Right? What are

181
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 2: we seeing? Because there is a big takeaway that I

182
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: guarantee you teams are looking at right now saying this

183
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: is what we need. We need to see if we

184
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 2: can do this. Not everybody's gonna be able to, but

185
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: you see, but you but the biggest thing for the

186
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 2: Pacers that you can take because not because obviously you

187
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: can't just say, oh, we need a point guard like Halliburton, No,

188
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: you have that.

189
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: But what the Pacers have made a cottage industry of

190
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: is what comebacks in the final minutes.

191
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: Right, They've made a big cottage industry. Why have they

192
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,119
Speaker 2: been able to do that because basically they're five starters

193
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: more than that, really you know, all their rotation players,

194
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 2: they can all hit threes, all of them. And yes,

195
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: this is an NBA where guys do hit threes now

196
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: and you know, but mainly you have a couple of

197
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: guys on your team that can hit threes as their specialty.

198
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: Nobody else is really you know, spotting up from behind

199
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: the arc.

200
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: But the Pacers, they usually have five guys on the

201
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: floor at any time. They can all hit threes. You

202
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: can't guard everybody, So you're gonna get the Miles Turner

203
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: is gonna be open.

204
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: Now.

205
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: The Pacers are on an incredible run of all our

206
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: guys are making enough of like they're shooting near fifty

207
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: percent from three point range right, So they're on this

208
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: run where all their guys are making them. But this

209
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: is because these guys all can and defensively you can't

210
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: match up when you know, when Nie Smith can make

211
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: threes and Denmark can make threes, these guys will take

212
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: four or five threes a game.

213
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: It's really hard to defend when teams can do that.

214
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: And the Pacers are showing you that no deficit is

215
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: too much. When anybody can do three, it's not always well,

216
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 2: we got to get the ball to Steph because Steph's

217
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: a guy that's gonna hit a three. Well, if not Steph,

218
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: then it's Clay. But you know, Draymond's not gonna hit

219
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 2: a three, and so and so is not gonn hit

220
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 2: a three. No, teams are as deep from three as

221
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 2: the pacers are. All these guys can hit them. Now again, they're.

222
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: All doing I mean, it's an unbelievable magic carpet ride

223
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: run because they all are hitting them.

224
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: But they all can. That's the thing. It's not like

225
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 2: you're getting guys shooting three as well. This guy get

226
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: no Obi Toppin can it threes? Right?

227
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: This is happening. This is part of what they do.

228
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: So teams are gonna say, all right when they look

229
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: to when they look to fix their bench, when they

230
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: look for support players, or they get and you know what,

231
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: this is what we're gonna focus on this year is

232
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: making sure our guys are better from behind the arc.

233
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: And it's some way in camp and in the offseason.

234
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: Let's focus on being able to need you to be

235
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: able to hit more threes. Let's focus on our guys

236
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: doing that. We'll incorporate that in the offense more of

237
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: the end of games we're not gonna be as far

238
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: down because anybody can hit them.

239
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: When you're down.

240
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Seven or nine with fifty seconds left to go, it's

241
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: not suddenly, well, let's let our three points specialist to

242
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: one of two guys try to get a shot off

243
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: because they're gonna have two defenders on them. It's gonna

244
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: be a bad shot, it's gonna clang off the rim,

245
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: and the defensive team's gonna get the rebound and that's it.

246
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: Instead it's well, hey, we're comfortable with any of these

247
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: guys taking a three because they can all make them.

248
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a strategy that team are gonna say, Okay,

249
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 1: let's try to get one through seven to one through

250
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: eight of guys that can make Now, no, not everybody

251
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: can do it, but that's gonna be the big copycat

252
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: from this NBA playoff with the Pacers have shown every

253
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: buddy that team's gonna try to incorporate.

254
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I enjoyed the little analogy we made yesterday

255
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: of the idea of when the old public speaking course

256
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: and how did you get over well, you know, hey,

257
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: picturem in their underwear. Same thing here it was in

258
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, making a lot of shots. Picture them

259
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: there that they're the Knicks defenders. They're not closing out

260
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: quite as fast as you would think they are based

261
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 2: on the defensive metrics and history of the Thunder and

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: all those makes seven more makes than the Thunder did yesterday.

263
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 2: And as we talked with Rick Buker about it, he

264
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: brought up the idea of, you know, the ceiling and

265
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: the floor. For the Pacers, the floor was thirty three

266
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: to thirty four percent, right, Mattherin was a thirty four

267
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: point thirty four percent three point makes during the regular season,

268
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: whereas for the the Thunder, their ceiling was Chet Holmgren

269
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: at thirty three and change. Right. So you're going through

270
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: all the starters from Nie at that forty three percent,

271
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 2: Walker at forty percent, Turner at thirty nine, and just

272
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: keep on going down the line that you're hitting at

273
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: a higher clip, and so you have the ability to

274
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: hang around. You also have the depth to where you

275
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: can spell guys minutes. You've got fresh legs, spring in

276
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 2: the step, spring to get to the edge and set

277
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: up your offense and play defensive basketball. In the final mens,

278
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 2: because they did a good job closing out Oklahoma City

279
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. We saw the number of misses

280
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 2: they had trying to match some of those three point

281
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 2: shots wide open and not being able to hit consistently

282
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 2: to open the door. And look, they didn't take our

283
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: business of the first half, because that's the other part

284
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: of it. But that goes back to good transition defense

285
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: on the pacer side. But your point's well taken because

286
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 2: we've seen more and more big men trying to implement

287
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 2: that and make it part of their games, some with

288
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: great obviously much greater success than others, because sometimes it's

289
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: absolutely ugly. All so helps when the basketball gods lower

290
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 2: g are on your side. Miles Turner grabs one yesterday

291
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: and throws up a very awkward looking thing that hits

292
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: the backboard at one of the weirder angles you'll see

293
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: for a bank shot, but it counts just the same.

294
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: So it's a strategy to be curious to see how

295
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: many teams can try to implement it, or how many

296
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: teams have players that it's like, all right, we have

297
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: to trust you the mid range game, because you keep thinking,

298
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: at some point, because of the success of OKAC, that

299
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: perhaps you'd start looking at that a little bit more right, SGA,

300
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: and where he does most of his dirty work and

301
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: some of the other stars in the league versus all right,

302
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: let's extend it back out like we watched your guy

303
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: Porzingis do Yannis. At times if he has a hot hand,

304
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, it's a thing of beauty. Sometimes

305
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: it's say, all right, make sure you bring your hard

306
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: hat to work. But philosophically, you know, the analytics say

307
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 2: more three point shots? Right, how many did the same

308
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 2: uh Celtics shoot up what sixty a game? So more

309

Speaker 1: to me, Like every time I hear a thrashod like this,

333
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: I just picture Christina.

334
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: Applegate in the car and she just bits thrasherhead. Listen

335
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: to the thrash music. Whence you get so mad? Uh?

336
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Legend we mentioned Jason Star a few minutes ago. Guy

337
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: I've talked to plenty of times, had him on shows.

338
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 1: Now it's just too late for him. I reached out

339
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: when we started doing the show. He goes, Oh, it's

340
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: a little too late. For me, I said, Node to

341
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: completely understand. We talk once in a while on social media,

342
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: and he says, you know the best thing you know.

343
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: I mean, look everybody looking for their dark side of

344
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: the moon affecting it. He has said something that will

345
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: live forever and he and he has said this on

346
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: many occasions. He had said, baseball has been played for

347
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty years, and at least once a

348
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: week something happens where you say, I've never seen that before.

349
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: A game that looks so incredibly similar. If you're looking

350
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: at video for game from nineteen ten versus twenty ten

351
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: versus twenty twenty four, you see that's baseball. But it's

352
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: a long time because the players still said players are

353
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 1: playing the same spot.

354
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 2: On the field.

355
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: The field looks the same that you see football games. Boy,

356
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't look like a football game. Boy, basketball, that's

357
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of weird, but baseball looks the same. That is timeless,

358
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: but still one hundred and thirty hundred and forty years.

359
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: You get stuff we've never seen before. This is from

360
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: tonight's Giants win over the Braves. Right, Giants lead this

361
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: game three nothing. Braves are gonna get their first run

362
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: on the board courtesy of a sacrifice fly.

363
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,959
Speaker 2: However, that's not the only ball in the picture.

364
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 4: On this play, the boffs will do that line drives

365
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 4: to right. Yas has got it. He's coming in. Here's

366
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 4: the throw home. It is not a time and where

367
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 4: did the other ball come from? Came out of the

368
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 4: upper deck. Some a clown through the baseball on the field.

369
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: I have never seen that, uh NBC Sports Bay Area.

370
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 1: On the call, you see the throw coming into the

371
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: plate and all of a sudden, as the ball is

372
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: basically arriving at the plates, whoever threw it timed it

373
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: really well, like the ball is arriving at the plate

374
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 1: the same time a baseball lands in between home plate

375
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: and the pitchers mount and then it bounces. Now, it

376
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: didn't hit anybody, luckily, and it bounced safely away. But

377
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: I can't believe that that someone threw a baseball onto

378
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: the field while that while that was coming down. I've

379
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: never as you heard, I've never seen that before. Part

380
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: of me things, I can't believe it didn't happen before.

381
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: But I understand now this is why they don't have

382
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: ball Day at you know, at ballparks.

383
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: They used to have some bad incidents with that. They

384
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: don't do it anymore. Yeah, bad, bad day because we

385
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 2: used to get full size bats. Wait, at one point,

386
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: I remember the Eric Sodder home Yeah White Sox bat

387
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: the Dell Milk logo on. Yeah that day. Man, it's

388
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 2: bad days the best nowadays, no chance. You can't even

389
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: get a mini bat at the sessions, like at the

390
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 2: Souvenir stand. I don't think you can get sell those.

391
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: And no, they don't do Disco Demolition night anymore. Well,

392
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: I mean that was the one and done. Sure some

393
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: might have agreed with the sentiment, just not the execution.

394
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: Cause the White Sox to forfeit a game. Yeah, I

395
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: know it's okay Steve Dalls, Harry Myers, right Indians? Uh,

396
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: but I mean you see it the Vince Like, I

397
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: just go what happened? And at first I thought, did

398
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: he catch the wrong ball?

399
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 5: Right?

400
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 2: George the yeah, like did he catch the wrong ball?

401
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: And then how because what wait? Where did that ball cut?

402
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: Where did it end up? Like that's an insane play.

403
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 2: I I hopefully the guy got thrown out because I mean,

404
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, come on, man, that could that could

405
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: really hurt somebody talking about a ball coming down and

406
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: hitting somebody like I hit somebody on the head, Like

407
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: that's that's that's real. You really, boy, I mean you

408
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: can see the umpire kind of sees it. Yeah, as

409
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 2: he's turning back towards the play at the plate and

410
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: just this moment of confusion, Kruco obviously loses his mind.

411
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: Some clown in the upper I mean, there's half the

412
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: teams in baseball can use an outfielder with an arm

413
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 3: like that.

414
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: The Mets don'll throw home like that. No, they don't know,

415
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 2: not at all. No, that was better than Nemo. Ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

416
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: he's no Conforta. It's a twister. It's a twister. Nobody's

417
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: conforta man.

418
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

419
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: But no, as you say from the Jason Stark line, though,

420
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 2: things you don't think you've ever seen. And I'm trying

421
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,959
Speaker 2: to rack my brain of what's the nearest thing, I mean,

422
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 2: other than you know, fans coming out of the stands

423
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 2: and accosting a first base coach. Check. Yeah, we've seen

424
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 2: guys dive over the railing on balls hit down the line.

425
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 2: That's fine. Yeah, we've seen that. You know, momentum carries

426
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 2: them over in front of the ball. Boy ball girl whatever,

427
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 2: and they found themselves escort. We've seen numerous fights. I

428
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: haven't seen this one. No, No, I haven't seen it.

429
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 2: I hope we don't see it again. No, I hope

430
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: we don't see it again. Are players going to be

431
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: discouraged from throwing the baseballs into the crowd because because

432
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: you could buy baseballs like you could buy baseballs in

433
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: the in the no forty bucks a pop. Now, well,

434
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's that much. I don't think

435
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: it were just buy it regular baseball, Yeah, regular logo,

436
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 2: major League Baseball's like. No, I meant you can go

437
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: in and buy like the replica with the team stamp

438
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 2: name on, the logo on it and stuff and just

439
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 2: buy it from I have no idea what those riding.

440
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 2: I don't. I never trafficked in those. But it's just

441
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: the idea that do you have to change up the

442
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 2: souvenirs that Wait, the way you say that makes it

443
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: sound like I'm involved in a lot of illegal crap, man,

444
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: But I don't even want to tell you about it

445
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 2: because you wouldn't believe it. I just decided it was

446
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: a better term than I never sold. I got a

447
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 2: lot of Alleague crowd. No, not at all, not at all.

448
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: I don't just sell stuff out of the back of

449
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 2: a truck. I got a big thing going off. Wow,

450
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: casting his spurseons once again. Hey you're an entrepreneurial spirit Harmon. Yeah,

451
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 2: you must be up to no good. So how is

452
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 2: the Aaron Rodgers year in Pittsburgh going to end? Eight

453
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: and a half wins? The big point of Rogers situation

454
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 2: today after Green yesterday to play this year for the

455
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: Steelers is that their reports that Rogers could have been

456
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 2: looking for a two year deal if he wanted to

457
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: continue to play, but the Steelers clearly would give him

458
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: a two year deal. They were you know, they were

459
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,199
Speaker 2: desperate because they did they don't know what they're doing

460
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: with the quarterback position. So okay, But the fact that

461
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 2: Rogers the signing for just one year, there's a few

462
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 2: insiders saying that this is his last. I want to

463
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: play this year and that's it.

464
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: And clearly it looks like he's done right. We talked

465
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: about it last hour off the field. The big concern

466
00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: for me would be is.

467
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 2: He still as zoomed in and owned in on being

468
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: a football star and being a great quarterback as he

469
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: was a couple of years ago, because clearly it doesn't

470
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 2: seem that way, like I'm okay, I'll throw it out

471
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: there for one more year because I think I want

472
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: embarrass myself. And who knows, maybe we'll catch lightning in

473
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: a bottom. So what the Steelers and Rodgers both thinking,

474
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 2: who knows, who knows? Maybe he'll be great, maybe it

475
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: won't be. I don't know who knows. But this year

476
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: I'll tell you how this year is going to go,

477
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: and it's got to do it. Two quarterbacks, Tim Tebow

478
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 2: and Russell Wilson. Oh Tebow because the impact that Aaron.

479
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers will have off the field as far as discussion, relevancy, eyeballs,

480
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 1: interest in seeing the Steelers play, that will dwarf what

481
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: his actual impact on the field is going to be.

482
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: Right like Tebow, the image of him, the impact of

483
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: him off the field, the conversation, the relevancy, all of it,

484
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: that dwarf what his actual impact on the field was.

485
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: There was no real proportion between the amount of attention

486
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: and time spent on and what he did on the field.

487
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: Same thing's gonna be for Aaron Rodgers, because I'll tell

488
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: you what his year is gonna look a lot like

489
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's last did last year with the Steelers. He'll

490
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: have his moments because.

491
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: Rogers is not clearly done to the point where hey,

492
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 2: you're embarrassing yourself when you're out there. Right, last year

493
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 2: with the Jets, he clearly wasn't healthy enough until we

494
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 2: got to the latter part of the season, But at

495
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: that point it really didn't matter. He put up some stats,

496
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: threw the ball well, but didn't really affect games. The

497
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: Jets were playing teams that were didn't have a lot

498
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 2: to play for and they still couldn't win games. Right,

499
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: He wound up top ten quarterback, top ten yardage. Okay,

500
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 2: But like Kevin Durant, and we've talked about his impact

501
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: on the game, Kevin Durant scores still, but he doesn't

502
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: really impact teams from a winning and playoff perspective because

503
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 2: he hasn't done that in six years. Right, The Nets

504
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 2: have been terrible when they had him, They couldn't do anything.

505
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: The Suns has been even more of a disaster. That's

506
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: kind of Rogers, right. His impact, Yes, stats will be there,

507
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 2: but is he leading you to wins? No, he's not

508
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 2: that guy. He still throws too much off his back foot,

509
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: doesn't have the arm strength, still little bit skittish in

510
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 2: the pocket, all of these things. But he'll still have

511
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 2: his moments because he's Aaron Rodgers. He had his moments

512
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 2: last year, just like Russell Wilson had some moments last

513
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: year when he first came in and took over quarterback.

514
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: But eventually Rogers, the age, the lack of mobility, the

515
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: lack of armstrength, everything is gonna catch up with him.

516
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: And the big question in December is gonna be can

517
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: you bench Rogers for the end of his career and

518
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: go to Will Howard or do you ride it out

519
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: with him so you're not the team that benched Aaron

520
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 2: Rodgers down the stretch Like, that's where I feel the

521
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: conversation's gonna go. Because he's not good enough to lead

522
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers back to the playoffs, because everything is a

523
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: bad fit. Him and Mike Tomlin are gonna clash immensely, right,

524
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: He and Arthur Smith's are gonna clash immensely because Arthur

525
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: Smith's offense is not what Aaron Rodgers does. He doesn't

526
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: have the playmakers even had last year with the Jets,

527
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: he had better guys. Last year when he had Garrett Wilson,

528
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: they made the trade for DeVante Adams. Oh he got Breeest. Okay,

529
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 2: our offensive line is pretty good. We can put it there.

530
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 2: He doesn't even have those guys. Now, it doesn't even

531
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 2: have it. How is this going to go well? And

532
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: Rogers eventually is gonna hit the wall because in his

533
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: early forties, again not knowing how committed to the team,

534
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: he is learning a new offense even the beginning of

535
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 2: the season, like he'd been with the Jets in that

536
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: offense for a year and a half and still by

537
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: the time he got on the field beginning of last year,

538
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: he's throwing behind guys. He's throwing the guys. He's a

539
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 2: little bit nervous. They're coming at they're not even out

540
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 2: of their break yet, and the ball is at the

541
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: at their feet. You're like, why is Rogers throwing that way?

542
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 2: Do you not want to get hit? You got to

543
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 2: wait for the guy to actually make his break. I'm

544
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 2: throwing the ball to early. We're not in the same page.

545
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: Mike Williams not running on the red line down the field.

546
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: He's running the run with the wrong spot. Like this

547
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,239
Speaker 2: is how it's gonna go with the Steelers and it's

548
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 2: gonna get to that point. Russell Wilson had that awful

549
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,479
Speaker 2: run at the end of the year, but luckily they

550
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 2: had won enough game, so well, okay, we're gonna make

551
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: a change, but this is not even gonna be enough

552
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: for that. And by December, the question's gonna be, really,

553
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 2: will Mike Tomlin go to Will Howard or Bason Rudolph

554
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 2: if you know, depends unless Will Howard just doesn't, you know,

555
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: come along and doesn't really progress. Will he bench Aaron

556
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: Rodgers to try to win more football games at the

557
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: end of the year depending on this dealer's record, where

558
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 2: they're like, that's the December conversation I'll tell you we're

559
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 2: going to have because that's how this season's gonna go

560
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 2: for Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, and the over under set at

561
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 2: eight and a half and that was already baked in,

562
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 2: so you didn't see any movement once they finally made

563
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 2: this announcement because it was presumed all along. You look

564
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 2: at the receiving corps. You got a couple of young

565
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: guys along with DK Metcalf coming in in Friar Mooth.

566
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 2: We'll see if they actually can pull off the trade

567
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 2: for Johnny Smith. They have a lot of trade, a

568
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 2: lot of draft assets for twenty twenty six that they

569
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 2: could certainly dangle out there, and especially if Miami is

570
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: truly in the shuffle up and deal in tank mode,

571
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: as we've talked about earlier in the week. Grab the

572
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 2: podcast downloaded, give it five stars of ANGELI send a friends, family,

573
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 2: all that fun stuff. Here's Jerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh

574
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 2: Post Gazette. I figured you would like this one quote.

575
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 2: Give the Steelers credit. They have signed two starting quarterbacks

576
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: who are future Hall of Famers for less than twenty

577
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 2: million dollars total. Name another organization to pull that off.

578
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 2: I can't now. This has fifty two thousand views, five

579
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: hundred twenty nine likes, forty six retweets, and one hundred

580
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 2: and twenty comments, many of which asking just the terms

581
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: of the deal, like you're missing the whole point. Man, Yes,

582
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: two future Hall of famers who are not those guys

583
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 2: when they put on their uniform. Now you're hoping that

584
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: because you were still kept the streaky streak alive for

585
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin in the last couple of years with no

586
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 2: quarterback play, that Rogers is a step ahead Arago, you

587
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 2: find your way towards the playoffs and maybe dare I

588
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 2: say a playoff win because there aren't many of those

589
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: from Mike Tomlin in recent memory. Right, So it's wishing

590
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 2: it hoping. The offensive line is not very good. That's

591
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: the one part of the squad that really is an

592
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 2: issue that stands out. You got a great defense, they'll

593
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 2: be ready to go backfield, solid and go on. But

594
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: the offensive line and keeping him up right, you say, hey,

595
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 2: he was there the year and a half and didn't

596
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 2: have the timing. Remember his leg was broken after four plays,

597
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 2: so he didn't exactly get to traverse the field with them.

598
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 2: So but look better down the stretch thirty nine hundred

599
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 2: yards twenty eight and eleven. Finally, so for Pittsburgh hopes

600
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 2: not a strategy, as we've talked about for a very

601
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: very long time, exit out about a Fresca exit Swallen Dome.

602
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: It's not gonna end pretty. That's how this season's gonna

603
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: go for Aaron Rodgers and the divisions of pain in

604
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: the ass.

605
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: Let's just call it what it is. Let's find out

606
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: what's trending in the wide world of sports. But guy

607
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: who's been called the Aaron Rodgers a Fox Sports Radio,

608
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: don't you dare? It's because on Friday night he likes

609
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 1: to go out and look for extraterrestrials. It's it's Steve

610
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: to say.

611
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 6: It's starting the darkness retreat early.

612
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 5: We will get to the baseball first and then to

613
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,760

614
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 5: the Padres, the Mets, but not the Dodgers. With runners

615
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: in scoring position, they were one for thirteen. At Saint Louis,

617
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,400

618
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: instances have there been where a team has, like the

620
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 5: hits in a game, regular season or playoffs, and yet

621
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 5: get shut out? The answers there have been over twelve

622
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: thousand such instances in the past decade. The Dodgers are

623
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 5: the only one of those twelve thousand to get shut out.

624
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,280

Speaker 2: Yay uh last night, this was the final call.

690
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: Mike Breen with a call on ESPN of Tyrese Halliburton's

691
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,719
Speaker 1: game winning jumper.

692
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: Remember, we had a big question following it. Final seconds,

693
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: no fouls to do, Caliverton looking, Halliburton driving, pulls off jump.

694
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 4: Shot put three cuts of a second, romantic time out.

695
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 2: Okay, see Tyres Halliburton does it again. That is what

696
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 2: Tyres Halliburton has been doing all right.

697
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: So that's on ESPN and we wondered after, hey, that's

698
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: a pretty big shot. Where's no bang or double bang?

699
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 2: Right? That's Mike Breen's Yeah, And I said, you know

700
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 2: the thing and sometimes some play by play guys as

701
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 2: you feed off the energy in the building, and it

702
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 2: was the away team that made the shots. So maybe

703
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,479
Speaker 2: it wasn't feeling. I don't know, but he actually talked

704
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: about it. Yeah, they asked about nothing says energy like

705
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 2: a triple bank. I know, I had no bang, double bang,

706
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 2: triple bang, no quadruple bank game winner in the finals. Yeah,

707
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 2: four pole bang whatever? Quit you know, I mean a

708
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 2: lot of triples. Why, I think you just created a

709
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 2: whole other world. Yeah, fourpull for I used to always

710
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 2: say four pull for five like it was four pole.

711
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: Let me make sure fourple is Okay, four pole means

712
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 2: something else would be No, No, it's fine, okay, okay. Uh,

713
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 2: there's a there.

714
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: Apparently there's a fourpole wood stove. It's really well, yeah,

715
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: that's the first match fourple wood stove.

716
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: Uh. Mike Breen said it didn't rise to the occasion

717
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: of a bang because he saves them for three pointers

718
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: and that being a mid range jumper by Halliburton, it

719
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: did not meet the criteria being a bang. I feel

720
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 2: like I need to go back and find all the bangs. Yeah,

721
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 2: and double bangs, triple bangs and whatever other should genre

722
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,960
Speaker 2: he's got. Shouldn't a three be a triple bang and

723
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 2: other big shots can be bangs? Right, Like I think

724
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 2: a three should be shot is a bang? Bang? Yeah,

725
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 2: it's a double bang, and a triple is is a

726
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 2: is a is a triple bang? Yeah? Bag bang bang? Yeah? Yeah? Yeah,

727
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 2: I mean Bank can just be something, right, double bank

728
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: can be like bank could be something where it's a layup,

729
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 2: or it's a running one hander or something. But a

730
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 2: mid range jumper could be a double bang and a

731
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 2: three of a triple bang. Yeah. See, because now people

732
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 2: are going to go to the suprud Or film to

733
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 2: see if he's telling the truth. How many times is

734
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: he called a dagger mid range jumper with a bang?

735
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: Oh that's true, all right, Jalen Brunson, Karl Anthony talons

736
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: evidence going back to twenty seventeen that he is called

737
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: jumpers double bang. How dare you? Mike Breen? Oh, the

738
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 2: is change in your philosophy. Now you never want to

739
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: sick the internet after you. It's gonna happen. Although although

740
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: anybody that's got time to even ponder that more than

741
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: the eight seconds we did just now, yeah, that's true.

742
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 2: To find something else to do. Well, Now, three things

743
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: this week I've told you now that I'm sick of

744
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: three things. Okay, One, I'm sick of the elitism and

745
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 2: the the the we're better than you overall attitude and

746
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: the entitlement of the big ten in the SEC and football, right,

747
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: we need more playoff We're just the best, right, I'm

748
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 2: sick of that. I'm sick of the talk of Oh,

749
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 2: nobody's watching the NBA plague. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

750
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 2: It's great basketball.

751
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: People are watching it, just not as many people as

752
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: watch other No one says all this super Bowl nobody watched,

753
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: only ninety nine million people watching. You a get one

754
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: hundred and ten million people. I'm sick of that, you know, like,

755
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 1: like Kevin Durant says, you don't like it, don't watch right,

756
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm sick of that. The other thing I'm sick of

757
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: is I'm sick of the Pacers publicly talking about how

758
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: they're disrespected in the media because they're not being disrespect

759
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: Picking another team to win a playoff round that's not you,

760
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: is not disrespecting you. It's simply picking the team that

761
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: we think is going to win. And you know what

762
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: in these rounds in the playoffs, when you played the Calves,

763
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: of course, more people thought the Calves are gonna win.

764
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,319
Speaker 1: They were the best team in the regular season, they

765
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,439
