Speaker 3: The way tire by and it should be now for

10
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,840
Speaker 3: anybody who's unfamiliar with Steve Hartman, maybe you uh, you're

11
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 3: driving around at a different time on the weekends, or

12
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: you listen to a different station and you're trying this

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 3: out for the first time. Hartman is a man of routine.

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 3: He is so thrown off by the fact that we're

15
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: in a new studio space. I haven't seen you this

16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 3: out of sorts in forever.

17
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: Here. Just move to another Uh No, I.

18
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 4: Can hear your voice, you can hear me.

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: I can literally hear nothing right now with something like that.

20
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: But I either take one of your headphones off or yeah,

21
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: switch over that mic. We got a new studio over here,

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: and we're working out some of the kings just like uh,

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 3: just like Will Levis.

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we're just gonna have to operate this

25
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: way for at least the first opening. You're too deaf

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: to wear those. Yeah, there you go. So here we

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: are on this. This is something new. Get those new studios.

28
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: What do you think of these new studios? I actually

29
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: really enjoy them.

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: I like the sound of it. I like being in

31
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 3: a bigger room. I feel like there's so much space

32
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 3: to explore and do push ups and like, you know,

33
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: maybe a couple jumping jacks we should put in, like

34
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: maybe a bar over there. I know, we have a

35
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 3: lot of things in here already. It's so crazy, is

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: so yesterday? You know me, Rich, I've had the same

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 3: headset forever, right.

38
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 2: And you and I have worked for many, many years.

39
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: And my headset was where I could hear everybody except myself. Yeah,

40
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm addicted to my own voice, so

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: without me hearing myself. I suddenly realized that this was

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: a problem. And then I went to those studio bikes

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: and it worked perfectly. And I still hear absolutely nothing. Okay,

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: we don't learn about it. Hey, we'll fix it. That break.

45
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: I wanted to get to something really quick here off

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 3: the top. Never mind about the studio, never mind about

47
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 3: your discomfort. Yes, actually it relates because I just brought

48
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: him up, Will Levis. If there was anybody who was

49
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 3: more uncomfortable over the weekend than Will Levis, or I

50
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: should say, over the short time it took him to

51
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: actually get drafted. In his world, it probably felt like

52
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: an eternity. But to all of us we're watching the draft,

53
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 3: you're talking about twenty four hours. The guy was the

54
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 3: top pick of the second round. And when you know,

55
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: the chips fall where they may, when you really start

56
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 3: to like widen the aperture and look at what happened.

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 3: He went to a team with a pretty damn good

58
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: head coach, a perennial playoff team, who's got an identity defense,

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 3: run game, who where if he actually played he is

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: any football this year. I mean, you gotta believe that

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,079
Speaker 3: he's going to be protected by a pretty decent offensive line,

62
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: which has been a trademark of the Tennessee Titans, and

63
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 3: he's going to have a run game that's going to

64
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 3: be able to carry him if he struggles. Ryan Tannehill

65
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 3: is nothing more special than a second tier quarterback. If

66
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: Will Levis is smart, he looks at this not as

67
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 3: one of those chips that he carries on his shoulder

68
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 3: for the rest of his career. He looks at it

69
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 3: as a benefit, like so many other quarterbacks who are

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: drafted to better teams than some of these first and

71
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: second and third overall picks, or fourth or overall in

72
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: this case.

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: All right, I love the fact that you're moving Will

74
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 2: Levis Ford. But let's go back a second here. Sure,

75
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: we were talking a week ago about the betting odds

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: that he may maybe the number one overall pick. I know,

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: second overall pick. This was yesterday, was talking to Adam

78
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: Kaplan about this. I go, what exactly happened here? How

79
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: do we go from everybody's after Will Levis to every

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: team had a chance to get Will Levis? I guess

81
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 2: a record forty three trades in the draft anyone could

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: have traded up for Will Levis. Nobody wanted to use

83
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 2: a first round pick on Will Levis. How do we

84
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: go from him shooting up to at the least number two,

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: no more than number four in the draft to completely

86
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: falling out of the first round, which obviously was a

87
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: smoke screen. Either somebody leaked out something that changed the

88
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 2: betting nods. As far as Levis's status in the draft,

89
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: was all kinds of things going on. Let me get

90
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: into what Adam Kaplan said. Yeah, that's what it was.

91
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: It was hype.

92
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 4: It was pre draft hype. Well who created the hype?

93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 5: Well?

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: And why did so many of the so called draft

95
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 2: experts fall for it and feed that information to the public.

96
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: Well, two things happened at once. One, the internet did

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 3: what the internet does sometimes. You had this Reddit post

98
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 3: posted by someone anonymous who just went by by our

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: Slash sports book. Okay, that said Will Levis is currently

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 3: telling his family and is for that. He's going to

101
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,679
Speaker 3: be taken first overall to the Carolina and Panthers. It's done,

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 3: dot dot dot, You're welcome. That's what the reddit post said.

103
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: And maybe it's not exactly verbatim, but that was that

104
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: was like, the intent was to get people an early

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: look at what's happening on Thursday.

106
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: So that happens.

107
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: Then all of a sudden, that spreads like wildfire to betters,

108
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: whether it's the public or Sharp's money starts pouring in

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: on Will Levis and starts increasing his betting odds to

110
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: be taken first. Overall, there are certain analysts, and I've

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 3: talked to some recently who they stake a lot and

112
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: I mean a lot on what the betting odds say.

113
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: Because here's what drives me crazy about this. Okay, the

114
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: reason it bothers me is there had to be somebody

115
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: that was going to step up and say this is

116
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 2: a wrong story. I don't know, because here's what happens.

117
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: If you're a so called draft expert, right and you're

118
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 2: suddenly hearing wild rumors about Will Levis rocketing up the charts,

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: you just start making your context of the teams at

120
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: the top.

121
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: But that's my that's my why, So I know what

122
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 3: you're talking about. Yeah, draft analysts like they got fed

123
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: their information from people in front offices, but when they

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 3: talked to their contacts, why would a front office. I mean,

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 3: and don't get me wrong, I'm sure there were some

126
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: front of office people were honest like saying, look, he's

127
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,559
Speaker 3: nowhere near the top of our board.

128
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: In fact, he's our fourth quarterback.

129
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 3: Or maybe they're like, hey, look he's our second quarterback,

130
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: but we're not even interested in quarterback this year. So

131
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 3: there may have been executives sharing that sort of information

132
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 3: that intel with these draft insiders and then them going

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 3: public with that, But what would it benefit you, Like

134
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: if you were one of the top one of the

135
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: teams or executives of the teams holding one of the

136
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: top ten picks where you may have interesting quarterback to

137
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: shoot down this rumor because Will Levis was a brand

138
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 3: new name.

139
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 2: So my point being, if CJ.

140
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: Stroud didn't encourage the sore of trade talk that you

141
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 3: wanted to move off of your pick, or if Bryce Young,

142
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: the fact that maybe the Texans take Bryce Young or

143
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud goes first over all, whatever whatever combination

144
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: of these two names are going to be taken early

145
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: in the draft, isn't encouraging anybody to come up and

146
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 3: make a big trade with you. Well, then what about

147
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: Will Levis, Like all of a sudden that name gets

148
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 3: flooted out there. If I'm holding a top ten pick

149
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 3: and everybody already thinks that I could potentially take Bryce,

150
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 3: I could potentially take Stroud, and then all of a sudden,

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: Will Levis's name just sort of appears in the ether.

152
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 3: As you don't see a conspiracy theory at all, think

153
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 3: about this. The NFL now is in bed with these

154
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: gambling establishments, share time, billions of dollars of being funneled in.

155
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 3: So you get a rumor out there that all of

156
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 3: a sudden, a hotbed is that will Levis is going

157
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 3: to be one of the top three, top four picks,

158
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 3: maybe in the number one overall pick in the draft.

159
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 3: You have all these NFL insiders, the draft experts, if

160
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 3: you're a draft ack, because as a turn out, the

161
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 3: top three picks were exactly what we said they were

162
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: going to be a month ago.

163
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: Right abe, it was going to be Bryce Young, CJ.

164
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: Strou Will Anderson. That was it until like two weeks ago,

165
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Will Anderson's not the number one

166
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 2: defensive players actually shooting him like thought. At least one

167
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: of these draft experts would have contacted some of these

168
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 2: teams at the top saying, am I missing something here?

169
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 3: You right rewind back even further, and I understand you

170
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: meant the combination of three.

171
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:27,559
Speaker 2: But CJ.

172
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 3: Stroud for a while was presumed to be the first

173
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 3: overall pick to the Carolina Panthers, and then all of

174
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 3: a sudden it was Bryce Young, and he started canceling

175
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: his projects.

176
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 6: And c J.

177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: Stroud fell because all of a sudden he scored an

178
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 2: eighteen on some tests that I had never heard about before.

179
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: It's tough to call it a fall. He fell all

180
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 2: the way to two, you know. But again in the

181
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 2: pre draft he was falling off the board. I saw

182
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 2: some final draft projections having him drop out of the

183
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 2: top ten because of some tests that I'd never even

184
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 2: heard before, where he scored like an eighteen, an absolute fail,

185
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: rap action time and everything else. No, the fact was

186
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: he went exactly where we thought. We thought the top

187
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks were set in some order, it's going to

188
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 2: be Bryce Young and CJ. Straw. But I just this

189
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, this sudden wave of misinformation just

190
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: seemed baffling to me.

191
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: What's interesting is I think you put more stock into

192
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: mock drafts than I do. I think my assumption is

193
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: always that this is smoke, you know what I mean,

194
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: Like until something firm comes out. Like when Bryce Young

195
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: started canceling pre draft visits, I was like, oh, he's

196
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 3: the first overall pick.

197
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: No agent in.

198
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 3: Their right mind would allow their client to do that

199
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: unless he's already hammering out or she hammering out a

200
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: contract with a front office, there's no way, because you

201
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 3: could you could torpedo your player's career before it even starts,

202
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 3: doing stuff like that. But if he gets on the

203
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: phone or she gets on the phone and goes, hey, listen,

204
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: my client, you know how this goes first overall picks

205
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 3: and Carolina they need a quarterback. I'm not going to

206
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 3: say anything, but you know we're we're not coming out

207
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: for the visit, and everybody understands. Everybody hangs up the phone,

208
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: going okay, that's done. So until I heard that, I

209
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 3: was like, well, it's all speculative until there's actual proof,

210
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: Like that is proof because if if that went another way,

211
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: it would have been a disaster for Young. So he

212
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: goes first overall. I assumed the next quarterback up would

213
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 3: be Stroud, but that's my own.

214
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 2: Assessment, still speculative.

215
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: So the only thing I was sure of going into

216
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 3: this draft was Bryce Young was going first overall. I mean,

217
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 3: this idea of Will Levis being taken in the top ten,

218
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 3: or say the second quarterback taken overall, right, that to

219
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 3: me could potentially be true.

220
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 2: Why what was what was it about? Did you miss

221
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: C J. Stroud's performance? Against Georgia, the forty one forty

222
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 2: loss where C. J. Stroud was the reason why they

223
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 2: were in that football game. No, it was the single

224
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: best performance by a college football quarterback last season. The reason.

225
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 3: It only takes one team, right, No, it did only

226
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 3: take one. All it takes is one team to say, hey,

227
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: you know what, that's our guy. Everybody else be damned,

228
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: are guys coming out of Kentucky this year?

229
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Not Ohio State. It didn't happen.

230
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you were going to give

231
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 3: me betting odds to bet on, and you gave me

232
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 3: good odds that it was going to be our favorite,

233
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: odds that it was going to be Will Levis early,

234
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 3: I would assured it that bet I would have gone

235
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: the other way with that bet, because there's no way

236
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 3: in my mind you But again, all that speculative until

237
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 3: you have actual, concrete proof.

238

267
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 2: Steve Hartman and a Rich Armorer, this is Fox Sports

268
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: Sunday and we are live from the tairaq dot com studios.

269
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: All right, we're getting things together here. I like that look.

270
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 3: I asked Sam to play some soothing music coming in

271
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: from break because I mean, well, moments ago, Steve was

272
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: apoplectic over the new studio and the fact that he

273
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: couldn't hear his own voice. Can you hear your voice?

274
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: But can you hear your voice? Most importantly, I think

275
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,320
Speaker 3: modest so secondary to your brain. The fact that you

276
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: couldn't hear your own voice in your head sat rattled

277
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: you altogether.

278
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: Well, I wanted to hear your voice loud and clear.

279
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 2: Fortunately you're as loud as I am, so I was

280
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: able to do that. Hey, I want to get into

281
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: this game seven to night between the Kings and the Warriors.

282
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: There's been an unbelievable series and by the way, just

283
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 2: an overview. You know that I've I have a hard

284
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: time with regular season NBA basketball. It's not really watchable.

285
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: I will say the playoffs so far have been an upgrade.

286
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: I've seen some pretty compelling series, but this series in particular,

287
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: I thought this was over. I mean, when Sacramento loses

288
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 2: Game five at home, You're like, all right, the Warriors

289
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: gonna wrap this thing up at home. Sacramento not only

290
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 2: wins Game six on the road, they win convincingly, and

291
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: suddenly the Warriors looked old, and those fresh legs of

292
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: those young Kings players SA Bonus Fox and company took control.

293
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 2: I'm assuming the Kings will win at home tonight. You

294
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 2: know it's gonna be rocket in Sacramento. Gosh, that place

295
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 2: is gonna be going absolutely nuts. But I'm not gonna

296
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 2: discount the Warriors. They are a four time champion, defending

297
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: champions right now. But I'm thinking ahead to the Lakers,

298
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: who took care of business against the Grizzlies with that

299
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: forty point blowed in Game six. If you're the Lakers

300
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: right now, do you have a rooting interest in tonight's game?

301
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 2: Is there one team that would be a preferable opponent

302
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: for you? If you're the Lakers, the evil you know

303
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: is better than the evil you don't.

304
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: It's human nature, even if even if you think a

305
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 3: shortcut may be better. You almost would rather like if

306
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 3: say you're you're leaving for work and somebody suggests a

307
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 3: new route to take, and they say, hey, it's ten minutes.

308
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: It'll shave ten minutes off your commute. But say you left,

309
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: like right at the edge of the time, where you'll

310
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: make it on time if you go the route you

311
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: know you're taking, the route you know you're not going.

312
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: You're not traversing some new route.

313
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: Like you'll feel and comfort you and be like, gosh,

314
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 3: if this goes wrong, I'll be late and the boss

315
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 3: is really riding me. And the evil you know is

316
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: better than the evil, don't You don't change things when

317
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: you feel like you've got it knacked. They've been competing

318
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: with Lebron and she'd say has been competing against Curry

319
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 3: and Draymond and Thompson in the postseason for a decade.

320
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 3: He knows exactly what he's getting, and I think he

321
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 3: would probably in his mindset, prefer to see them. Then

322
00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 3: this upstart, dangerous, healthy, relentless Sacramento Kings team who has

323
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 3: a fan base who's been starved for two decades to

324
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: root on a playoff team.

325
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: I'm with you on this one. And when you really

326
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: look and break down the Lakers series win against the

327
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies, and talking about Lebron James and Anthony Davis,

328
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: now that one of them really put together back to

329
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: back individual good games. It was like Ad had a

330
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 2: great game, the bad game, great game, and Lebron was

331
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 2: pretty much the same way. Lebron shot under twenty percent

332
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: from threes during that series. What happened. Hatchamura came up

333
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 2: big early in that series. D'Angel Russ obviously had a

334
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: huge Game six. So I agree with you. You look

335
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 2: at this Sacramento team right now and they're playing with

336
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 2: what they just showed me in winning this game on

337
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: the road against the Warriors. And by the way, Mike Brown,

338
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: who was the unanimous NBA Coach of the Year, it

339
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: never happened before, by the way, an award that goes

340
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: back sixty years, and it's really so for him to

341
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 2: rally that team after that disappointing Game five loss at

342
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,480
Speaker 2: home and went on the road. Impresses me so for

343
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 2: the Lakers because I watched Game six with some Laker fans,

344
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 2: right it was a buddy's birthday that we were celebrating

345
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 2: that night. Then we watched the Lakers game. The Lakers

346
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: are winning the championship. I'm slow down, slow down. That

347
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 2: was a big that was a big margin they won. Well,

348
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: I mean based on that. If they play like that, yeah,

349
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: it's gonna be tough to beat the Lakers. But you

350
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: you have to sort of really take a look back

351
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 2: and and this is something we've talked about a lot

352
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: rich about the load management and everything else and how

353
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 2: it adversely affects certain players and certain teams. And you

354
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: can say, well, you're you're saving yourself for energy in

355
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 2: the postseason. Well, that really hasn't played out well. And honestly,

356
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: as we talk about Phoenix last night and their blowout

357
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: loss to Denver, there's a lack of chemistry. There's there's

358
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 2: a reason to be on the court together. It's not

359
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: just you know, sort of building strength for the playoffs.

360
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: It's also creating a certain level of chemistry and the

361
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: idea that you just rest a bunch of players and

362
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: then you put them on the court in the postseason,

363
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 2: turn the switch on, and everything is good. There's a

364
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 2: lot of chemistry, especially when you're bringing in a new

365
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: guy like Duran and Phoenix or some of these new pieces.

366
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: This Laker team, though, has had a chance now to

367
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: play with this group, which is why they've had the

368
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: best record in the NBA since the All Star break.

369
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: But I think that was sort of loss in the

370
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: whole load management. It's not about just keeping your star

371
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: players healthy for the postseason, but if you don't play

372
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: with the rest of the team, you're really lacking that

373
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: chemistry you need in the postseason.

374
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, chemistry and trust are two things that are so

375
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 3: underrated when it comes to talking basketball. At the college level,

376
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: we talk about it a lot, you know, especially with

377
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 3: upperclassmen who have been with the same program, same coach

378
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: for a while, have understood, you know, their task as

379
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 3: a veteran on their team. But at the pro level,

380
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: it's almost like baked into the narrative. In the NBA,

381
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: all you need is stars, that's it. You'll win championships

382
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 3: with stars. And the truth is, well, the Bucks were

383
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: once champions and they just got knocked out in the

384
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 3: first round by an eight seed. You know, I'm not

385
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 3: gonna say a five seed advancing is like a huge deal,

386
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 3: but it is a big deal. It's another upset. So

387
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: the Knicks are in you know, you look at what's

388
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 3: happening here with this Sacramento Kings Warriors race. Like I mean, granted,

389
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 3: I think either way you could sort of call it

390
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: an upset, whether you're talking about seeding specifically or you're

391
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 3: talking about just the fact that the Sacramento Kings haven't

392
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: been in the postseason for two decades and this is

393
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 3: a young group who I mean, Malik mont perfect example.

394
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 3: After the game, he goes, I've never played in a

395
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 3: game seven like that was such like it was. You

396
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: then realize you're like, oh, wow, yeah, you're talking about

397
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: like guys who are brand new to all this. But

398
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 3: there's so much energy and enthusiasm And to your point

399
00:19:55,040 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: about load management, nobody on this court understands what that

400
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 3: like either, Like they've had to earn and scrape and

401
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 3: get by on their talent and their chemistry and the

402
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: trust they have in one another, and it's worked for them.

403
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's going to dawn a

404
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 3: new age in the NBA.

405
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: I doubt it.

406
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 3: I think veteran players are going to take advantage of

407
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: this load management rule until they're incentivized not to. But

408
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 3: the Kings, if they do this this year, like and

409
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 3: I mean, do it all Like if this team wins

410
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,800
Speaker 3: a championship and puts the rest of the league on

411
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 3: warning that what it takes is to be young and

412
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: scrappy and hungry, I bet you front offices will start

413
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 3: recognizing that maybe this, you know, aging veteran max deal

414
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 3: contract stuff isn't the way to go.

415
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: Maybe it's maybe it's.

416
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 3: Built a young, hungry group and we may see a

417
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:44,959
Speaker 3: turn or shift in the tides.

418
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: I would hope so and again for these veteran players

419
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: trying to conserve their energy so to speak, and get

420
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: ready for the postseason. If this this completely flames out

421
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: for teams like Phoenix and the Lakers and the Warriors,

422
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 2: and some of these veteran teams ida of bringing in

423
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: guys on the back end of their careers hoping that

424
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: somehow they still have magic. In fact, I want to

425
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: get to the Clippers situation because there was a revelation

426
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 2: out of the organization that is just mine blowing to

427
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 2: me about where the Clippers are going with their future.

428
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 2: But right now, let's find out what is trending and

429
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 2: see now we are in a different situation where we

430
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: can actually watch Monsy do her work.

431
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: She's still figuring things out.

432
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: Yes, well, by figuring things out here, let me ask

433
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 2: you this question.

434
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: Normally you're used to seeing the goons over there in

435
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: the production studio and Sam and the whole crew.

436
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 2: Now you have to look at us, right. Is this

437
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: more nerve wracking?

438
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 8: I just have to make sure that when you say

439
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 8: something stupid, I don't make a face. Wow, come on,

440
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 8: I was trying.

441
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:54,160
Speaker 5: To be offensive.

442
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 2: I almost unlike Kawhi Leonards.

443
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 5: Exactly exactly. Can't play offensive. You don't play you can't

444
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 5: you right? You're right? No, no, no, that's true. I

445
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 5: do think about that that sometimes I'm like, oh my gosh.

446
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 8: Before nobody really would be watching me, especially the hosts,

447
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 8: or somebody could come in and I don't see them.

448
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: Oh that's another thing.

449
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 8: Where before I could see people walking in and I

450
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 8: was like, oh, are they coming into my studio or

451
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 8: are they going?

452
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 3: We need a safe word, like if somebody is coming

453
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 3: to like strangle you or something, and you hear me

454
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 3: shout blueberry pancakes, it means turn around in.

455
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 5: A hurry, perfect blueberry pancakes.

456
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 8: I'll have a pen ready, I'll do what I need

457
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 8: to do exactly.

458
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness.

459
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 8: Well Game one between the Heat and the Knicks is

460
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: officially underway again, Knicks playing without Julius Randall because of

461
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 8: that left ankle sprain.

462
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 5: But the Knicks are up.

463
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 8: It is late in the first quarter, so plenty of

464
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 8: game left, but New York is up twenty to.

465
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 5: Sixteen against Miami.

466
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 8: Jimmy Butler only one of four so far from the field,

467
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 8: but he already has four rebounds.

468
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 5: He's got two points to assist.

469
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 8: As we know, he's been the savior for the Miami Heat.

470
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 8: We actually I have three game sevens today going on

471
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 8: on this Sunday. Obviously we're talking about the Warriors and

472
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 8: the Kings. That Game seven is set for three thirty

473
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 8: pm Eastern time. But on the ice there's two game

474
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 8: seven The big one is at the Raining Champs. The

475
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 8: Avalanche are going to play the crack In that's at

476
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 8: nine thirty pm Eastern time. But before that, the Panthers

477
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 8: and the Bruins are going to have their Game seven

478
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 8: that set for six thirty pm Eastern time. There are

479
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 8: a couple of baseball games going on, but the Pirates

480
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 8: and the Nationals are on a rain delay. Shocker, not

481
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 8: really the other game going on. It's the Marlins that

482
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 8: are beating the Cubs three to two top of the

483
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 8: sixth inning. And I'm sure you guys are going to

484
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 8: talk about it, but that the NFL is targeting a Thursday,

485
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 8: May eleventh date to release it's twenty twenty three schedule.

486
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 2: I'm excited to hear what the schedule is going to

487
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 2: be excited about the NFL.

488
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 6: What is that?

489
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: Thirty four million people? Yeah, watched that's the first round,

490
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: that's all.

491
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 5: I can't believe that was the number. When it came out,

492
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 5: it was one hundred.

493
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 2: And twenty five thousand people showing up in Kansas City

494
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: to watch all that. So yeah, the NFL just continues

495
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 2: to climb and climb and climb atop the sports board.

496
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 2: All right, MONSI, We will check in with you a

497
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: little bit later on. Once again, we are brought to

502
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: I actually have friends of mine that are Clippers fans. Yeah,

503
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: you know a lot of people suspect that most Clippers

504
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 2: fans are really Laker haters. So if they live in

505
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles area, the only reason they root for.

506
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 4: The Clippers is they hate the Lakers.

507
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: And that is the alternative. But there are actually some

508
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: Clippers fans who when this season ended, the disappointment of

509
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 2: Kawhi Leonard and the meniscus stare and everything else that

510
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to finish that series, I was getting

511
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: including Monsi saying, let's blow this up, Bac Monsi. Can

512
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 2: we have Monzi back on here talking about the Clippers

513
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: here for a second, because Monsei, you are a Clippers fan,

514
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 2: so this latest you're ready for this? Stet boy, here

515
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: we go. So in the four years that Kawhi and

516
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 2: PG have been together, they have miscombined two hundred and

517
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: eighty two games. Wow, including playoffs, include two hundred and

518
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: eighty two games combined missed in four years.

519
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's impressive.

520
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 2: That's seventy. That's seventy combined miss games per season. All right,

521
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 2: So Laurence Frank, who's the president of basketball operations for

522
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 2: the Clippers, they have another guaranteed here on their contract

523
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: next season. Yeah, and then the following year, they have

524
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: player options for almost forty nine million each. Laurence Frank

525
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: has announced that the Clippers are going to double down

526
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: and look to extend the contracts of both Kawhi Leonard

527
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 2: and Paul George beyond the two years they have remaining

528
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: on their deal, and they want to get it done asap. Now, MONSI,

529
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: you are a die hard Clippers fan, am the idea

530
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: that they are doubling down on Kawhi and PG to

531
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 2: get him to where ultimately they want to get and again, money,

532
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: He's not an object when you have the wealthiest man

533
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: on the planet where ninety billion dollars luxury tax, none

534
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: of this means anything to this guy. Understand that. But

535
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: are you convinced that's the right move moving forward for

536
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 2: the Clippers to double down and extend the deals for

537
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:20,919
Speaker 2: Kawhi and Paul George.

538
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 5: I don't see why you would do that, Absolutely not.

539
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 5: I don't get it.

540
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,719
Speaker 8: Honestly, keep one if you want one, keep one, But

541
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 8: why double down on both of them? I think you

542
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 8: need to take advantage of the fact that maybe somebody

543
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 8: still wants Kawhi and I would trade him. I would

544
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 8: take advantage of that because if we go through another season,

545
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 8: another two seasons, and it's the same thing again.

546
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 5: You're really going to be stuck. So right now, maybe

547
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 5: somebody wants them, why not trade him?

548
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 3: I will say this, I think I have the answer,

549
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 3: And it all comes down to the investment recently made.

550
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 3: When you're building an arena, when you are trying to

551
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: fill seats, and you are going to either hit the

552
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: jet button on one or both of these guys and

553
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: start any sort of rebuild, because that's what that signals.

554
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: Even if it's just one of the two of them,

555
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: you're getting draft capital. It's a youth movement. Paul George

556
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: or Kuhi whoever's left over, or if both of them leave,

557
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: the veterans on the team are left to lead the

558
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: young men. And then the assumption is because the veteran

559
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,959
Speaker 3: who's left over is going to finish his contract and

560
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,160
Speaker 3: move on, So you have to do something that signifies

561
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: we're gonna have this solid base of veteran stars. So

562
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 3: when we welcome you to the new arena with the

563
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 3: eleven thousand plus bathrooms, you're gonna get to enjoy Clipper

564
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: basketball the way you remembered it when we were over

565
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 3: at Crypto dot Com. It's gonna be Kuhi, it's gonna

566
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 3: be PG in the Gang, and everything's gonna be great

567
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: for at at least one more season, all.

568
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 2: Right, But I agree with you, that's the reason why. Absolutely,

569
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 2: And they have one more year at the Crypt, yes,

570
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 2: and then they will move into the new arena in

571
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: a couple of years. But I also I told you

572
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 2: about my friend had. These floor seats are three hundred

573
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: and thirty six thousand dollars, and there's not a lot

574
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 2: of takers, not based on the seats, because if you

575
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 2: got that kind of money, you're gonna spend the money.

576
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 4: Because it's two hundred and eighty two games.

577
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: The question is the question emerges exactly plus a game

578
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 3: for right, If I'm only going.

579
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: To see those two guys for half the games, why

580
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 2: am I paying the full price on the ticket? So

581
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 2: it could look at it would be a critical year

582
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: next year. If I'm Steve Bomber and I'm agreeing to

583
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 2: some kind of extension on these two guys, I need

584
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 2: you to show up next year because if we have

585
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: another year like that as we move into the new arena,

586
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 2: and I'm trying to raise the bar even further as

587
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: far as selling these tickets that we're away from the

588
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: Lakers and we have our own identity. Good luck.

589
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 8: That's exactly what I'm saying. I don't want to spend money.

590
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 8: I wouldn't invest, I don't know who I'm going to see.

591
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 8: I don't know who I'm going to see, and I

592
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 8: don't care you. I feel like we've been It's like

593
00:28:56,880 --> 00:29:00,040
Speaker 8: deja vu every year. Like I I'm tired of it.

594
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 8: It's the same conversation. If anything, I'd be like, all right, Kawhi,

595
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 8: you want an extension, play sixteen games in a row

596
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 8: and then let's talk about it.

597
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: But hang on a second, Kawhi, Leonard could make life

598
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 3: very difficult.

599
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: For you, right.

600
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 3: We see him do it in San Antonio. So if

601
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: you try to go to Kauhi and say, listen, we

602
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 3: want to sign you to a new extension, but we

603
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: want to build in playing time incentives where you actually

604
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 3: have to earn a portion of your contract in order

605
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 3: to get the max value, he's going to say, yeah, okay, trade.

606
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 4: Me, Okay, I'll walk great.

607
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 3: You know I know that that sounds okay for you,

608
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 3: But he also knows that they're they're making money on

609
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: his name. This is the same thing to a certain extent,

610
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 3: not the same, but it's it's similar to what happened

611
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: at the end of Kobe's career with the Lakers. Like

612
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 3: Kobe gobbled up a tremendous amount of the salary and

613
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: he knew he still could because the Lakers were reliant

614
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 3: on him to sell seats and sell jerseys.

615
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 8: But Kobe, what Kobe is to the Lakers, Kawhi is

616
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 8: not to the Clippers.

617
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I get that. But life after Kawhi could get

618
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 2: pretty desperate.

619
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 4: Predy desperate right now. But at least there's hope.

620
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 5: But we have a solid team without him. You saw it.

621
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: Okay, listen, this I the Sacramento Kings. The reason why

622
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: they're head coach Mark Brown. Mike sorry, excuse me, Mike.

623
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: Mark, I'm confusing with them.

624
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike Brown got a unanimous Coach of the Year

625
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: was because he did something that happens so rarely, where

626
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 3: you could take a team like the Clippers minus Kawhi

627
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 3: and Paul George and get them to the postseason. The

628
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 3: chances of lightning striking twice in the West in consecutive years,

629
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 3: where the Clippers they get rid of Kawhi or Kawhi

630
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 3: and Paul George or just Paul George, and they all

631
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 3: of a sudden are successful. Is so slim and none

632
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 3: that these guys know they have the organization over the barrel.

633
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: They're going to exploit that fact and make as much

634
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 3: money as they can because they know they're about to

635
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: open in two years a new arena, and.

636
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 5: Unfortunate, somebody's got to use the restrooms.

637
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 4: Want somebody, They gotta fill these toilets.

638
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: All right. So you're Steve Bomber, and according to Forbes

639
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: right now today, you're the tenth wealthiest person on the

640
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 2: planet right worth over ninety billion dollars, and you have

641
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: no control over your basketball team. You signed on the

642
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: DOTTA line with Kawhi Leonard. Remember how the Lakers were

643
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 2: going after Kawhi. Yeah, but Kawhi was like, I don't

644
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: want to be second fiddle to Lebron James. I want

645
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: to have control of a team. Bomber jumps in. They're

646
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 2: coming off, you know, championship in Toronto. What do you want?

647
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 2: I want control? All right, great, you got it. What

648
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: do you want? I want Paul George. It's gonna be

649
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 2: tough to get him again. You want me get Paul George.

650
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: They trade five number one picks Shay Gildess Alexander who

651
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 2: just averaged over thirty points a game, seven seven picks

652
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 2: to get Paul George because that's what Kawhi Leonard wants.

653
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 2: And now Paul George and Kawhi Leonard both missing. All

654
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: this time, there is no backing out of this deal

655
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 2: for Steve Bomber. He's into de KWHI. Leonard will determine

656
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: how long this will go. And it just amazing to

657
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 2: me think of a man with that kind of wealth,

658
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 2: that kind of power that comes with that kind of wealth,

659
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: really not having control of his own NBA team. He

660
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 2: signed it over to Kawhi Leonard and he just got

661
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: to hope for the best.

662
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 3: Say, say you have a nice hand in poker, right,

663
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: a nice hand, and you're you're the chip leader, and

664
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 3: you try to bully the pot where you throw a

665
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 3: bunch of chips at this hand pre flop. Uh that

666
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: means before the first three cards come out, and then

667
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 3: the small the small chip stack goes ahead and says,

668
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm all in, right, I mean, you're

669
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 3: the bully on the block, so you you match, and

670
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: he flips over.

671
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 2: He's got aces.

672
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, You're like, great, great, but what

673
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 4: are you gonna do?

674
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: Fold?

675
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 3: No, you gotta see this thing to the river. You

676
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta play the handout. Steve Balmer, to complete

677
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: the metaphor, is the bully on the yard. Right, He's

678
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 3: already pushed a bunch of hip. Somebody called him Kawhi

679
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: all in and said match me. He said, yeah, sure,

680
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 3: Paul George, fine, we'll trade draft picks, We'll spend money.

681
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: We're building an arena. Paul Georgia, quiet, sounds great to

682
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 3: be Now he's gonna fold here.

683
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 2: Now you can't.

684
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 5: You can't.

685
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 8: So then we'll be talking about this in a year,

686
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 8: about how Kawhi and Paul George got injured game one

687
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 8: or right at the end of the regular season, and

688
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 8: we're gonna do this again.

689
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: I'm with you, it's gonna happen again. From the fans standpoint,

690
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: I'm with you. From the business standpoint. I completely understand

691
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: what Steve Baumber's conundrum is, because if he backs out now,

692
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: it's like throwing bad money or worse money after bad.

693
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,719
Speaker 3: It stinks right now. But again, if you're opening an arena,

694
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 3: in two years and you have the dregs of the

695
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: West opening that arena with you, where they're like, who

696
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: is this? Who do we even what jersey do we buy?

697
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 3: You're in deep, deep trouble.

698
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 2: The irony, of course, is Steve Bomber could literally buy

699
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: the entire league. It could be the National Bomber Association. Yeah,

700
00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: instead about it, I mean change money to buy every

701
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: single team.

702
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: He changes the logo to just to with his hands.

703
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 2: That hand is like a basketball, right, you know, the

704
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 2: Bomber Association. But again, this guy is going to pay

705
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: out because they had the number of highest payroll in

706
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 2: the league this year, number one, and on top of that,

707
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 2: because they were over the cap. He has to play

708
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 2: I think they had. He has to pay out three

709
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million dollars for a guy worth ninety billion.

710
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: None of this matters to him. The money is. This

711
00:34:36,040 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: is what drives me nuts. If I were him right now,

712
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: I would sell the stupid Clippers. I would sell I

713
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: would sell the arena and buy another team, buy three

714
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 2: or four teams. I mean it's there's like, I don't

715
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: understand why he's putting himself through this misery, But.

716
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: I would just link up with Shack and like get

717
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 3: in on that general insurance.

718
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 8: You know, just are the subway or hop John's.

719
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you just do that, just that, yeah yeah yeah.

720
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: All right. So of the teams that are remaining, we

721
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: have nine still because they're still awaiting the outcome of

722
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 2: that Warriors King series. Which team should be considered the

723
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 2: favorite now to win the NBA Championship. We're gonna break

724
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: it down. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Hartman and

725
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,440
Speaker 2: Rich Arnberger. This is Fox Sports Sunday, and we are

726
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,239
Speaker 2: here live from the tire Raq dot Com studios keeping

727
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: our eye on this playoff game between the Knicks and

728
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 2: the Heat, and so far it's all Nicks up to

729
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 2: an early forty to twenty eight le They are about

730
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: seven minutes left there in the first half. Of course,

731
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: the Heat getting in as an eight seed. In fact,

732
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 2: not only as an eight seed, they actually lost a

733
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: play in game and still took care of business against

734
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: not only the number one seed, but the team they

735
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 2: had the best record in the NBA this year. The

736
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 2: Walkee Bucks sometimes about matchups, you know, and then for

737
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: some reason, sort of like your New England Patriots back

738
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 2: in the day, did not match up well with the

739
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: New York Giants. Yeah, in super Bowls for whatever reason

740
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 2: it was. It's not Milwaukee.

741
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 3: It's not where you start, it's where you finish, right, Yeah,

742
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: So a regular season team, to your point, like the

743
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: Giants back in two thousand and ten, like they just

744
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 3: got hot, you know what I mean, they were nine

745
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 3: and sevent team that just found their way into the

746
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 3: wildcard round and found their way advancing and found their

747
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: way in a super Bowl and winning the damn thing.

748
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 3: Like Jannis getting hurt helps, That helps, you know, because

749
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 3: it encourages this team. But also just the fact that

750
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,720
Speaker 3: Jimmy Butler is that guy. I mean, he just whatever

751
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 3: it is, whatever's baked into certain athletes. He has the

752
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 3: clutch geam.

753
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: No doubt about.

754
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 3: That.

755
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 2: Didn't help that Yanist missed all those free throws in

756
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 2: that last game, ten out of twenty three free throws

757
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 2: in a close game. By the way, Fox Sports Radio

00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: up in the next hour. So John Paul Morosi is

765
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: going to be join us, Tucker a little MLB as

766
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 2: well as some hockey. Can you believe the Boston Bruins

767
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 2: are down to a game seven right now in the

768
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: opening round, A team that broke all the records, and

769
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: I mentioned the stat the w rerecord holder for regular

770
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: season wins in every major sport. None of them won

771
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 2: a championship. Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Sixteen and o Patriots

772
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 2: all time record did not win the championship. Win Warriors,

773
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 2: the seventy three win Warriors, and then the six Cubs

774
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 2: and the two thousand and one Mariners one hundred and

775
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 2: sixteen wins. Neither won the World Series. So we'll see

776
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: what happens with the Bruins there. As far as the

777
00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:59,239
Speaker 2: NBA's concerned, Rich, I'm not changing for what I thought

778
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: a week ago. By the way, Joel Embiid's injury maybe

779
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: a little worse than they were expecting. He is very

780
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: unlikely for the first game of that series against the Celtics.

781
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: I know the Celtics had that hiccup against the Hawks. Uh,

782
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 2: but then they came right back. You know, if Trey

783
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 2: Young hit that incredible shot to knock him out and

784
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: bost them and they go to Atlanta win that series.

785
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: I still look at the Celtics now as an overwhelming

786
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 2: favorite and that and that being said, in the West,

787
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't know how you can augree with Denver right now.

788
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: I think the Nuggets so far in these playoffs, much

789
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 2: as they did to get the number one seed in

790
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: the Western Conference, they're showing they are the best team

791
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 2: in the West. Yeah.

792
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 3: Look, the Nuggets are quietly dominant. You know, the Nuggets

793
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 3: are the type of team that you know they'll just

794
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 3: they'll put a team away like the Suns by close

795
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: to twenty points, and it won't make headlines because you know,

796
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 3: they're they're they're just not sexy, you know, they don't

797
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: they don't have what some of the other teams have.

798
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: It would be a much louderation for a Clippers team

799
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 3: in the second round if they had a big win

800
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: over Kevin Durant because of all the stars. But Jokic,

801
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just not one of those names that

802
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 3: people get excited about.

803
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,839
Speaker 4: I mean, Yanni's kind of faced this a little bit.

804
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,439
Speaker 3: With the Milwaukee Bucks and their championship run, it kind

805
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 3: of felt like back then Yannis could still sneak up

806
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: on people.

807
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 2: That's what the Denver Nuggets are.

808
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 3: Doing right now, even though they're great, and if you've

809
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 3: been paying attention in the West, especially what they've done,

810
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 3: the Nuggets may win a championship.

811
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 2: I think it's a great analogy of what happened to Giannis,

812
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 2: because remember he had won back to back MVP Awards,

813
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 2: but they're like, what is where is he in the playoffs?

814
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: Where's the championships? All of a sudden boom, they win

815
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: a championship. Maybe Denver is due flying under the radar

816
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 2: as Milwaukee did a couple of years ago. I think

817
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 2: it's very possible, although I still think when the Celtics

818
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 2: picked up Brogden as well, who ended up six Man

819
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: of the Year, that one added piece to that core

820
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: that they already have they like the best. So right

821
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: now we're watching this Knicks, do you have much interest

822
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: in this series? Between the Knicks and etc. Either one

823
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 2: of these teams getting passed either of Boston or Philadelphia

824
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: into the NBA Finals.

825
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 3: I would love to see Jimmy Butler continue on. I

826
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 3: just love his story. I just love his story. Like

827
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 3: when you have a guy who came from nothing, had

828
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 3: to be adopted because it seemed like nobody wanted him,

829
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 3: and then all of a sudden turns into what he's become.

830
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 3: It's the American dream. Like Jimmy Butler's life is what

831
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 3: everybody's yearning for, you know, regardless of where it came from,

832
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 3: your circumstances, making something special out of yourself with the

833
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 3: support of great people around you.

834
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: And that's what he's done. All right, Much more in

835
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: the NBA playoffs, much more, as far as the outcome

836
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 2: of the NFL Draft, and we're going to talk some

837
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,399

00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: how are you today.

851
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 6: Outstanding gentlemen. Good afternoon from the great city of Detroit.

852
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 6: We've got the Orioles and Tigers playing here at America

853
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 6: Park and yes folio where we've got two great Game

854
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 6: sevens coming up in the NHL today. Panthers, Bruins krackin

855
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,280
Speaker 6: Avalanche could the cracking in their first ever postseason series

856
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 6: potentially unseat the Raining Cup champs. So some great storylines

857
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 6: across the sports world here today.

858
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 2: Well, we saw Las Vegas in their first season the

859
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 2: NHL make it all the way Stanley Cup Final. I

860
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 2: got to ask you though about the Bruins. I mean,

861
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: we were talking about the sixteen to zero Patriots didn't

862
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: win a championship, the seventy three win Warriors did not

863
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: win a championship, the one hundred and sixteen win Mariners

864
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: did not win a championship. Here's a Bruins team that

865
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 2: set all kinds of records this year, best regular season

866
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: in NHL history, and they got a Game seven in

867
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: the opening round. What the heck's going on here?

868
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 6: Well, a ton of pressure on them right now, and

869
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 6: I think for poster Knock, he's going to have to

870
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 6: answer with a huge Game seven. At the end of

871
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 6: the day, when you get to this spot, it ends

872
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 6: up being goaltending and can your best players carry the

873
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 6: day in a game seven environment? And I really I'm

874
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 6: a believer in the Bruins, but there's also no doubt

875
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,760
Speaker 6: that the Panthers are playing relaxed. They have got zero

876
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 6: pressure on them, and they've got a ton of talent

877
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 6: when you think about Matthew Kachuk and the way that

878
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 6: he played in Game six. So on the ice, talent wise,

879
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 6: top to bottom, Boston's got the better roster. They've got

880
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 6: Macaboy on the back end. For all those reasons, Boston

881
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 6: should win, but they're facing so much pressure on home

882
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 6: ice and a Panthers team that is really finding their

883
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 6: form here in the last couple of games.

884
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 2: So moving on to baseball.

885
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 3: This is back on Thursday, I believe, I opened up

886
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 3: my computer to an article about sho Hey. Otani just

887
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 3: shy of another career milestone, making history for hitting for

888
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: the cycle in a game that he started as a pitcher.

889
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 3: And I was reminded of his dominance because I had

890
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 3: n't been paying as close of attention to his stat

891
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 3: line and I look it up and as of Thursday,

892
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 3: he was slashing two seventy eight, three forty three, and

893
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 3: five twenty six. And on the mound it may be

894
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 3: going even better. Opposing batters As of Thursday, again, we're

895
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 3: hitting an average less than one hundred against him. I mean,

896
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 3: this guy is just I mean, I know I've asked

897
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: you about you hey before, JP, but I mean, is

898
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 3: it even quantifiable? Like I know he's due for a

899
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 3: contract here soon, I mean, what number do you put

900
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 3: on this level of talent?

901
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 6: Great question, Rich, and I think it's one that we're

902
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 6: going to be debating a lot in the industry for

903
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 6: months to come, And certainly we may get a bit

904
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 6: of a preview at the deadline this year, if the

905
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 6: Angels are out of it and they consider trading him.

906
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 6: We won't know so much the financial component, but based

907
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 6: on the prospects that are offered, will potentially get a

908
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 6: bit of a glimpse at how other teams believe he

909
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 6: should be valued, at least from a prospect value standpoint

910
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 6: in the marketplace. The other thing I would say is

911
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 6: that we have to look at this in two ways.

912
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 6: Number One, there's the historic nature of his talent. There's

913
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 6: never been a player like him. He is doing things

914
00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 6: for longer and better than Babe Ruth did. That's a fact.

915
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 6: There's just no denying that he is doing something that

916
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 6: the Bambino himself could not do so in the modern era.

917
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 6: When you consider what Aaron Judge got to be a

918
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 6: brilliant player in one discipline, Otani is I think poised

919
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:11,439
Speaker 6: to surpassed that four hundred million dollar mark in terms

920
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 6: of the total guarantee. I think that's a relatively safe

921
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 6: assumption as long as and here comes the big clause

922
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 6: of the sentence, as long as he remains healthy, because

923
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 6: we have to realize that if if and no one

924
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 6: hopes this is the case, but if there's an injured

925
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 6: list stay at some point in time this year, and

926
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 6: we're reminded of the rather just unprecedented nature of his

927
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 6: talent and how no one's been able to do this

928
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 6: in the past, How does that impact what his market is?

929
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 6: And that's where I think we have to say, if

930
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 6: he remains healthy, if all of the medical information imaging

931
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 6: remains sound, he is a four hundred million dollar player.

932
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 6: And beyond the one thing I would say rich where

933
00:45:57,160 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 6: teams might be a bit more will to entertain the

934
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 6: incredible contractual risk that would be involved, is that we're

935
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 6: talking about a global sports icon in a way that

936
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 6: very few baseball players I would submit, no current baseball

937
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 6: players are. This is not the same analogy, but I'll

938
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 6: make this point. When you see a soccer player who's

939
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 6: in his mid to late thirties and by that by

940
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 6: the metrics of that sport, is no longer in his prime,

941
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 6: they might still sign this incredibly lucrative deal. You think

942
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 6: about Christiano Ronaldo's last contract. Part of that is the

943
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 6: marketing brand value of the player. And so is there

944
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 6: a team out there that says, wait a minute, we

945
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 6: need to become more of a global sports brand. And

946
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 6: even if Otani has some injury risk in the near term,

947
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 6: he's worth half a billion dollars to me because of

948
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,719
Speaker 6: what I want my brand to be. That's the one

949
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 6: area where we can see one team potentially, or two

950
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 6: willing to go to areas that make no sense in

951
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 6: terms of an actual dollar in, dollar out cost benefit analysis.

952
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,760
Speaker 2: All Right, the Pittsburgh Pirates over the last three seasons

953
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 2: have had the worst record in baseball. Right now, they

954
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 2: have the best record in the National League at twenty

955
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: and eight. Are they for real?

956
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 6: They're more real than they're not. And the reason why

957
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 6: I say this is you look at their underlying offensive

958
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 6: numbers and they're coming from younger players who have been

959
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,439
Speaker 6: able to prove themselves I think already at the major

960
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 6: league level. Sowinsky's had a great start to the year.

961
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 6: Of course, Reynolds has got the extension, McCutcheon has been

962
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 6: back and really making a huge impact. Castro was filled

963
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 6: in for the injured O'Neil Cruz at shortstop. Cabrian A

964
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 6: is a really great defender at third base. I'm a

965
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 6: believer that because we have so much information out there

966
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 6: about players now that the notion of well, the young

967
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,520
Speaker 6: player can fool the league for a year before everybody

968
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 6: catches up to him and he enters a sophomore year.

969
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 6: That's not the same thing nowadays. Players. The book on

970
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 6: players is out there before they even show up to

971
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 6: the big leagues. So I'm a believer that if you're

972
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 6: able to do it for a month, six weeks, then

973
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 6: I collectively have a lot of faith and your team

974
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 6: to keep it going. I think Keller has also been

975
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 6: pretty good in the rotation. Love their bullpen. They've got

976
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 6: an a level closer and David Bednar, whereas on the

977
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,360
Speaker 6: rest of the teams of the division, the Cardinals have

978
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 6: some profound pitching issues. I don't think the Reds are

979
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 6: there yet in terms of being competitive at the top

980
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 6: end of the division.

981
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 9: So I look at the relative to competition metric and

982
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 9: I think the Pirates have a legitimate chance to stay

983
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 9: around here with their young talent, and I believe that

984
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 9: they've got an excellent manager of Derek Shelton and a

985
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 9: front office led by Ben Sherrington that could make an

986
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 9: impactful trade at the deadline.

987
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 3: We're joined by JP Morossi here on Fox Sports Radio

988
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 3: from the Tyraq dot Com studios. I look at this

989
00:48:55,719 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 3: international this international series between the Padres and the Giants

990
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 3: down there in Mexico City, and I see a lot

991
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:07,479
Speaker 3: of fans. I see a lot of interest around this game,

992
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 3: A lot of runs obviously being scored. The question comes

993
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: up every time we see a team play or teams

994
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 3: play internationally, when is Major League Baseball going to go

995
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: to city acts or why? But Mexico City does kind

996
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 3: of make sense in terms of regional interest. Could you

997
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 3: ever see Major League Baseball expanding south of the border?

998
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 6: It's possible, I don't think it's terribly likely in the

999
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 6: near term, And honestly, Rich, part of the reason is

1000
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:40,000
Speaker 6: the score line from last night, the eleven home runs.

1001
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 6: It's really hard to have a fair competitive environment at altitude.

1002
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 6: Mexico City is at an even higher altitude than Denver.

1003
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 6: As we saw yesterday, pitchers really struggle to get their

1004
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 6: ball to spin well when you consider pitching at altitude

1005
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 6: like that. So for me, Rich, it's a great question.

1006
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 6: I just don't think we're going to see a full

1007
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 6: time franchise base in Mexico in the next several years.

1008
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 6: I do believe we're going to see continual play like this.

1009
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 6: In fact, it's already written into the agreement of the

1010
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 6: CBA that baseball is going to keep going back there.

1011
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 6: So travel logistics wise, I just think competitively it would

1012
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 6: be a real issue when you have one ballpark that

1013
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 6: would cause such extreme numbers, again, even more extreme than

1014
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 6: core steeled. But for this, I think it's a nice

1015
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 6: reminder of, honestly, rich how close a lot of major

1016
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 6: Mexican markets are to the US. This is not a

1017
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 6: flight that's at all a real taxing adventure for these teams.

1018
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 6: It's a closer flight and easier flight than going from

1019
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 6: Seattle to Tampa. This isn't that's an American League trip

1020
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,880
Speaker 6: that's always been happening. So I think that logistics wise,

1021
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 6: travel wise, it's great. Competitively it gets a little bit complicated,

1022
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,480
Speaker 6: but there's no question what an important mark Mexico is

1023
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 6: to grow the game. We saw it during the World

1024
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 6: Baseball Plastic and we're seeing it again this weekend.

1025
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 2: So JP, you talk about pitchers spinning the ball, a

1026
00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: guy that's spinning the ball right now is Clayton Kershaw.

1027
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 2: Kershaw basically was given up for dead a couple of

1028
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: years ago, saying, oh, we'll sign him to the obligatory

1029
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:20,920
Speaker 2: one year contract. There's not a lot of interest in

1030
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 2: this guy right now. He's got as many wins as

1031
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: the Oakland A's. He's five and one, he had seven

1032
00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 2: shutout and he's gave up two hits, nine strikeouts, no

1033
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 2: walks yesterday in a one nothing game against the Cardinals.

1034
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: Sometimes a guy like this you have to wait until

1035
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 2: after he retires to fully appreciate his career. His career

1036
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 2: era is the lowest of any starting pitcher in the

1037
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: last one hundred years. Give us your perspective on the

1038
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 2: career and where he stands all time. When we talk

1039
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 2: about Clayton Kershaw.

1040
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 6: Greatest picture of the generation period, I think that you

1041
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 6: can say that comfortably. Obviously got the World Series title

1042
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 6: from twenty twenty that was so important to him. It

1043
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 6: mattered so much to him. I really believe he was

1044
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 6: unfairly criticized for a lot of those postseasons where the

1045
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,840
Speaker 6: three of us watched that team carefully during those years,

1046
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 6: A lot of that was bullpens and ill timed swings

1047
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 6: that were given up by the bullpen or later in

1048
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,799
Speaker 6: games that Clayton was staying in because the Dodgers didn't

1049
00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 6: trust the bullpen at that point. So I'm really glad

1050
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 6: that he corrected that narrative once and for all. And

1051
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 6: that was really the last mountaintop, because the regular season

1052
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 6: performance has been unsurpassed in this era. I go back

1053
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,239
Speaker 6: to this too, and we think about where he was

1054
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 6: maybe a decade ago or twelve or thirteen years ago.

1055
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 6: His contemporary, the guy that he was compared to in

1056
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 6: terms of going back and forth for cy Youngs was

1057
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 6: Tim Linsecam. Yeah, and just think about the difference in

1058
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 6: durability and the permanence of what Clayton has meant. And

1059
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 6: again we talk about the greats of this sport in particular,

1060
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 6: it's doing it year after year after year and Linscom

1061
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 6: dazzled for the years that he did, but his peak

1062
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 6: was relatively short in the fullness of time. For Clayton,

1063
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 6: he is now performing at again what's been the peak

1064
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 6: that he's had earlier in his career. He's had to

1065
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,640
Speaker 6: reinvent himself as his stuff has changed. And Steven Rich

1066
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:25,640
Speaker 6: the Dodgers need him without Bueler. They just with Gonsolin

1067
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 6: being in and out a little bit as a reliever

1068
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 6: right now, is he a starter? They need Kershaw to

1069
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 6: be Kershaw, and fortunately for them, he has been one

1070
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 6: of the key people that have kept him and kept

1071
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 6: this entire team in the National League West race. At

1072
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 6: a time when the Diamondbacks appear to be ascended.

1073
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 2: Well, if anyone knows about extended dominances. John PALMERROSI, JP,

1074
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 2: you're as strong as ever. We always appreciate the time,

1075
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 2: and we're gonna check in with you next week. Thanks JP.

1076
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 6: I appreciate it, guys. And by the way, I did

1077
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 6: check the upcoming college football schedule. I may have to

1078
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 6: call in Rich. That Penn State Michigan game in November

1079
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 6: looks pretty good. Rich.

1080
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, okay, well listen, we might have to put

1081
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: something on the calendar here.

1082
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 6: All right, we're doing it. Sounds great. I can't wait.

1083
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 2: There go hi, JP, that's John Paul Morosi Jonius there, okay,

1084
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 2: great stuff. Yeah, I was watching yesterday kershaw Man. He

1085
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: was filthy. He give me though.

1086
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 4: He was filthy yesterday in a one nothing game.

1087
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 6: All right.

1088
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, we're going to get

1089
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 2: back to the NFL Draft and some of the fallout

1090
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 2: as far as teams are concerned. Who really went out

1091
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 2: of their way to blow this draft? We'll break it down.

1092
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Hartman and a Rich Armburner.

1093
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, and we are live from

1094
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 2: the tai Iraq dot Com studios. All right, so the

1095
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 2: NFL Draft is in the books. Yeah, and there were

1096
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 2: two teams I wanted to ask you about because they

1097
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 2: did things that were highly unusual. I'm going to start

1098
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 2: with the Chargers. Yeah, apparently the Chargers did not see

1099
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:13,040
Speaker 2: the championship game between Georgia and TCU. Final score of

1100
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 2: that game was sixty five to seven Georgia. The reason

1101
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 2: I mentioned it is they took two TCU receivers and

1102
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:23,280
Speaker 2: their quarterback. By the way, that has never happened before,

1103
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 2: where a team and a single draft has selected a

1104
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 2: quarterback and two skilled players from the same school all

1105
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 2: in the same draft. Again, they must not have seen

1106
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 2: that last game sixty five to seven. The Chargers and

1107
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 2: Tom te LESCo and we know them well. Obviously you

1108
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 2: were signed by this guy, so you know him very well.

1109
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 2: They do have a way of doing things. But this

1110
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 2: drafting of Dugan especially, there were so many quarterbacks that

1111
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 2: went in this draft. In fact, in the first one

1112
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty picks, a record number of quarterbacks were

1113
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 2: actually taken in this draft. For a guy that was

1114
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 2: runner up for Heisman and just had an incredible final

1115
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:06,440
Speaker 2: season at TCU. Well, remember Sunny Dykes comes in as

1116
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 2: the new coach. He wasn't even really deemed the starting

1117
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: quarterback at the start of the year, even though he

1118
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 2: had been that previously. He gained that job and led

1119
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 2: his team all the way to that championship game. But

1120
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: were you surprised that he lasted as long as he did?

1121
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 2: Concern you how many quarterbacks went before him? And what

1122
00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,279
Speaker 2: do you make of this apparently married to what we

1123
00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 2: saw a year ago from TCU and these Chargers draft picks.

1124
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 3: Well, I think it was smart. I think that what

1125
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 3: we've learned over time is that when you pair quarterbacks

1126
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 3: with their former receivers at the professional level, it leads

1127
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 3: to a faster uptake by these players because they're used

1128
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 3: to speaking their own language and their own locker room

1129
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 3: from whatever college program they came from, and they help

1130
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 3: each other translate the new Playbrook. You've heard several guys

1131
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 3: talk about this. You look at what happened with the

1132
00:56:57,080 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 3: Bengals with Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow. You look at

1133
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 3: what happened with Jalen Hurts and Devonte Smith. You look

1134
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 3: at what's happened with Waddle and Tua in Miami. I

1135
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 3: think this is really smart. I think it's really smart. Now,

1136
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 3: do I expect Max Duggan to get a lot of playtime. No,

1137
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 3: because you have Justin Herbert there, But having Max Duggan

1138
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 3: as a competent backup for Herbert, who's shown the fact

1139
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 3: that he can get hurt. He played through a lot

1140
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 3: the ribs and the other injuries from last season.

1141
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 2: But Ken get hurt.

1142
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 3: He's not invincible and he takes some hits. Having Max Duggan,

1143
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 3: who's worked before, with two receivers who could be stars

1144
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 3: in this system. Quentin Johnston. Look what he did over

1145
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 3: the course of that season was he's a star. I mean,

1146
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:44,520
Speaker 3: he is a star.

1147
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 2: Well, he's another one of those big receivers. Oh yeah,

1148
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,240
Speaker 2: they love the big receivers. And then the other guy's

1149
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:49,919
Speaker 2: your speed guys.

1150
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Darius bat thank you, yeah, Darius Davis, Daris Davis. Okay, So,

1151
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,200
Speaker 3: in my opinion, this is what's happening in Los Angeles.

1152
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 3: They're looking at Mike Williams and their saying that guy,

1153
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,840
Speaker 3: for a long time was our big, strong, fifty to

1154
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: fifty ball speedster on the outside, and he's just been

1155
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,400
Speaker 3: two injured too often. We need to bring in someone

1156
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 3: like that.

1157
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: They did.

1158
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen. Keenan Allen was playing when I was there.

1159
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen has been in the league for a decade.

1160
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 3: Man drafted in twenty thirteen.

1161
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's it's look how much longer.

1162
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 3: He's way more yesterdays than he does tomorrow in the

1163
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 3: NFL one.

1164
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 2: They picked up the option on his deal.

1165
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 3: So Darius Davis, you know he's going to potentially be

1166
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 3: the replacement at the slot. So to me, this was

1167
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 3: intelligent drafting because you're gonna get younger and much cheaper

1168
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 3: at two positions you absolutely need to fulfill for the

1169
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 3: future for Justin Herbert to have continued success with the Chargers.

1170
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna pick on another team that you

1171
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 2: played for. That would be the New England Patriots. It

1172
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 2: became the first team since the two thousand Raiders to

1173
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 2: draft a kicker and a punter in the same draft.

1174
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,320
Speaker 2: Of course, the Raiders did it with Janikowski and Lechler.

1175
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: Lechlo will be in the Hall of Fame. Janakowski obviously

1176
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 2: a great kicker for many years, so it actually was

1177
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 2: a good duel of picks. But are you surprised that

1178
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick would draft a kicker and a punter in

1179
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 2: the same draft. And this is a critical year with

1180
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers deal finally getting done with the Jets, and

1181
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 2: where the Bills are right now and the Dolphins. If

1182
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: you're ranking these teams, the Patriots that are at the

1183
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 2: bottom of the list, this was a critical draft. Does

1184
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,080
Speaker 2: that surprise you Belichick would use two of his picks

1185
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: to get a kicker and a punter.

1186
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't surprise me because he zigs where everybody

1187
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 3: else zags. And he has drafted special teamers. I mean,

1188
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 3: he's drafted long snappers like he considers the special team

1189
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 3: game to be among the most important aspects of football.

1190
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 3: And by the way, just the way he spoke about

1191
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 3: it when we were in squad meetings team meetings where

1192
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 3: he would talk about the kicking game, you could tell

1193
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: he cares.

1194
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,680
Speaker 2: I mean and beyond many of.

1195
00:59:56,640 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 3: The coaches I played for, he cares. We spent a

1196
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 3: lot of time working on kicking game stuff at practice

1197
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 3: and it shows because that's a team routinely who shines

1198
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 3: on special teams. So it doesn't surprise me. I'll tell

1199
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 3: you what's amazing about the Patriots is they don't do

1200
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 3: anything to get headlines and They've never wavered. Bill Belichick

1201
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 3: has never cared if you like his draft. He's gonna

1202
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 3: go by what they need and what's the best player available,

1203
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 3: and they're gonna draft that way. So Chris Gonzalez a

1204
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 3: falling star in this draft. They got great value getting

1205
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 3: him at seventeenth overall, and they need a corner. You

1206
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 3: look at some of these other picks, I mean, they

1207
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 3: kind of hit it out of park on Day two.

1208
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 3: Like you said, they improve their special teams, although they're

1209
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 3: going to get a low draft grade because there are

1210
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 3: probably better picks out there, higher value picks than a

1211
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 3: punter and a kicker on Day three. But you can't

1212
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 3: knock it. The formula's worked for so many years. If

1213
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,280
Speaker 3: mac Jones is competent, this team has a chance.

1214
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 2: Well he's got a bank on Bill O'Brien. I mean,

1215
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 2: he's got to get that offense right, because that offense

1216
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 2: was not right a year ago. Does Belichick survive at

1217
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 2: seven and ten, six and eleven season.

1218
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Look, I've said it before. He can survive

1219
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 3: two rough seasons and then the third of the season

1220
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 3: after that, he'll then the conversation about him being in the.

1221
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 2: Patriots bar for a rough season. Is I mean they

1222
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 2: have won a playoff game since Brady left, and even

1223
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 2: Brady's last year.

1224
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 3: They don't want true, but they did get to the

1225
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 3: playoffs Mac Jones's rookie.

1226
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 2: Year, but haven't won a playoff game since his last

1227
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: Super Bowl win I was twenty eighteen.

1228
01:01:33,760 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 3: I get it, But think think about think about what

1229
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 3: has happened since then. They got to the postseason, got

1230
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 3: knocked out by the Titans twenty nineteen, Brady leaves, Cam

1231
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 3: Newton COVID year. I mean, if you're Robber Kraft, maybe

1232
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 3: you give the excuse like everybody's struggling with COVID, but

1233
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 3: we really got hit hard at times and Cam Newton

1234
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 3: got injured. Then you have Mac Jones get to the

1235
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 3: postseason his rookie year, and if you look at it,

1236
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 3: who they got knocked out by, embarrassed by by the

1237
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 3: way the Buffalo Bills. They embarrassed them the final regular

1238
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 3: season game against the Bills. So if I'm Robert Kraft,

1239
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 3: I'm giving him two years to hit the rebuild button

1240
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 3: at least because it's Bill Belichick. If he's proved nothing

1241
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 3: at over over his tenure, is he knows how to

1242
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 3: build a franchise. He did it in Cleveland. He did

1243
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 3: it again in New England. He's trying to do it

1244
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 3: again here in New England at Act two.

1245
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 2: Beyond Brady all right, on the other side, I want

1246
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: to get into who's in a better position right now,

1247
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 2: the Jets with Aaron Rodgers or the Ravens with Lamar Jackson.

1248
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:34,120

1255
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:03,440

1258
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 2: This is out of necessity right now. It may not

1259
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 2: always be this way, but for the show to work,

1260
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 2: we are literally setting on top of now. I want

1261
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 2: it to be so you hear me out of both

1262
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 2: micro Yeah.

1263
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I guess sEH. I was literally watching. I was like,

1264
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:22,920
Speaker 5: we'll get out cozy.

1265
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 8: They are they're precious as they.

1266
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 5: Talk, kind of fight but not really so cute.

1267
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 8: Well, this game is definitely definitely trending the Miami he

1268
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 8: have tied the game. Max Strus hit two three pointers

1269
01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 8: in this third quarter to tie the game against the Knicks.

1270
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 8: They are tied at sixty one eight minutes to go

1271
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,600
Speaker 8: in the third. But Jimmy Butler still a little quiet

1272
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 8: for Jimmy Buckets. He's got thirteen points, seven rebounds. It's

1273
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 8: Gay Vincent who is still leading Miami and scoring. He's

1274
01:03:52,040 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 8: got fourteen points. Our Ja Barrett has seventeen points for

1275
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 8: the Knicks. Jalen Brentson has fifteen points, but again tigh

1276
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 8: game sixty one. This is game one between the Heat

1277
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,200
Speaker 8: and the Knicks. Game seven is going to be after

1278
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 8: this between.

1279
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:05,960
Speaker 5: The Warriors and the Kings.

1280
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 8: Tip off his set for three thirty pm Eastern time.

1281
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 8: We'll move on to Major League Baseball. Imagine you're first

1282
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 8: at bat of the year.

1283
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 5: And you hit a grand Slam.

1284
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 2: Nice, nice, right, It.

1285
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 5: Doesn't get any better than that.

1286
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 8: That's outfielder Taylor Tremmel for the Mariners, but the Blue

1287
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 8: Jays responded with five runs already So the Blue Jays

1288
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 8: are on top five to four. They're about to start

1289
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 8: the bottom of the third inning. Orioles beating the Tigers

1290
01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 8: to zero. They're about to start the fourth inning, and

1291
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 8: it's the White Sox who have scored first against the

1292
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 8: Rays one zero top of the second inning, and officially

1293
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 8: the Marlins have beat the Cubs. Final score was four

1294
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 8: to three. Last thing I'll tell you so you can

1295
01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 8: keep talking about the NFL. The Athletic is reporting that

1296
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 8: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones hinted that the team could re

1297
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 8: sign Ezekiel Elliott with all these draft you know, picks

1298
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 8: that they had. His quote was, the ship hasn't sailed there.

1299
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 8: We haven't made a decision at all as far as

1300
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 8: our interest in Zeke. Nothing we did today changes that

1301
01:05:02,200 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 8: I haven't ruled Zeke out.

1302
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,520
Speaker 5: And to quote back to you guys.

1303
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,440
Speaker 2: All right, Monzie, thank you very much again. Tie score

1304
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 2: right now between the Knicks and the Heat. Eight minutes

1305
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 2: to go in the third quarter. Actually he just took

1306
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 2: US sixty three to sixty one lead. So Knicks at

1307
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 2: home would expect to win this game. But this Heat team,

1308
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 2: by the way, if you're wondering, there was an eight

1309
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 2: seed that actually made it all the way to the

1310
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 2: NBA Finals. That was the Knicks back in nineteen ninety nine.

1311
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 2: Was that shortened year. They ultimately lost that final, so

1312
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 2: the Spurs, but they actually made it with Ben Gundy

1313
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 2: jeff n Gundalow as their coach all the way to

1314
01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 2: without Ewing. By the way, it was hurt most of

1315
01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 2: that year. I didn't know that yet, and they were

1316
01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 2: in an eight seed and it got to the NBA Finals.

1317
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know that he got an eight seed to

1318
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 2: the finals. I remember the time it's happened.

1319
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 3: I remember those Knicks teams being so dominant in the

1320
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 3: East with Starks and Ewing and Anthony Mason and who

1321
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:00,600
Speaker 3: else I was the.

1322
01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 2: Early nineties with pat Riley was a coach and everything

1323
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 2: else Van Gundy. I don't know how they Yeah, it

1324
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 2: was the scraps and Ewing was hert but they actually

1325
01:06:08,520 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 2: pull it off.

1326
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 4: But this Heat team could be the next team to.

1327
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 2: Pull something like that off. They look awfully good. All right.

1328
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 2: I want to get into because a big story this

1329
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 2: week leading up to the draft was the fact that

1330
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 2: the deal finally got done with Aaron Rodgers, the Packers

1331
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 2: and the Jets. I said a week ago, and we

1332
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 2: were talking about this rich that I would have given

1333
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 2: up the two number twos to get the deal done,

1334
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 2: just get it done. As it turned out, they gave

1335
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 2: up one of those twos, swapped the first round picks,

1336
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: and gave up what looks like potentially likely a first

1337
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 2: round pick next year. And a lot of people are

1338
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: just hammering the Jets that the Packers fleeced him in

1339
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 2: this deal. I disagree. They needed to get him in

1340
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 2: uniform asap. Don't worry about that. It's Aaron freaking Rogers

1341
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: and the idea that you were getting. Well, yeah, gave

1342
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 2: up a second this year in a first next and yeah,

1343
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 2: this is Aaron Rodgers. He didn't upgrade yourself over Zach Wilson.

1344
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 2: So I think they did the right deal. But I

1345
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 2: want to compare their situation moving forward, the Jets to

1346
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:17,520
Speaker 2: that of the Ravens, who made Lamar Jackson the highest

1347
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 2: paid player in the NFL sebats sing Jalen Hurts, who

1348
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 2: had just briefly had that title. By the way, he

1349
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:26,320
Speaker 2: got it done without an agent, so he ends up

1350
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 2: getting his money, but going into twenty twenty three, who's

1351
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 2: in a better spot the Ravens with Lamar Jackson or

1352
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 2: the Jets with Aaron Rodgers.

1353
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if you're if you're looking at track record,

1354
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 3: you would say Aaron Rodgers. But I mean Aaron's got

1355
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:48,520
Speaker 3: his downsides too. He's been recently injured. He had a

1356
01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 3: horrible time of it last season. Injuries to his hands,

1357
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 3: injuries to his lower body. He had sore ribs at

1358
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 3: one point. They didn't really quantify exactly how bad that

1359
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 3: injury was, but it hampered him and you could tell

1360
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 3: that he was completely out of sync with the offense, which,

1361
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 3: by the way, all of a sudden had a lot

1362
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 3: of new faces around, which he's going to experience again

1363
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 3: in New York getting used to his new teammates. So

1364
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 3: there's some downside there when you look at Lamar Jackson.

1365
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 3: The injury bug obviously has bit hard past two seasons.

1366
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson his game is predicated not just around what

1367
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:26,879
Speaker 3: he does in the pocket, but also him as a rusher,

1368
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 3: and so if they don't protect him, well, if he

1369
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 3: doesn't protect himself, well there's limitations, Like we've seen. Who's

1370
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 3: got the better chance right now is such an interesting question.

1371
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:44,480
Speaker 3: I would say the Jets bizarrely enough, are a better constructed,

1372
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:48,599
Speaker 3: more balanced team this year than the Baltimore Ravens. They

1373
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 3: have a better defense, they've got better skilled position players

1374
01:08:52,320 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 3: on offense, adding Aaron Rodgers. If it is as simple

1375
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 3: as you know, instant coffee, hot water and stir, then

1376
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,840
Speaker 3: the Jets are going to have one of the better

1377
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,920
Speaker 3: seasons in the AFC because, look, their record allowed them

1378
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 3: to get a little bit of a softer scheduling even

1379
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,559
Speaker 3: though they were a very talented team and got stormed

1380
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 3: out the gates. But you saw the problem. The weakness

1381
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 3: in the armor was at the quarterback position. And everybody

1382
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 3: said it like, if they could just get one of

1383
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,519
Speaker 3: these guys Wilson White Flacco to play just a little

1384
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:28,080
Speaker 3: bit over their head, they're gonna be fine.

1385
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 4: But they couldn't. They got terrible QB play and they

1386
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 4: fixed it well.

1387
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 2: The health of these two quarterbacks, to me, is a

1388
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: big question, huge huge With Aaron Rodgers, obviously, it's just

1389
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,280
Speaker 2: the fact that he will turn forty this year. Yeah,

1390
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 2: he was talking openly, He was very forthcoming. I love

1391
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 2: his interaction with the New York media admitting, you know,

1392
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: I've been in Green Bay, you Brighten years a little

1393
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 2: different media base in Green Bay. Then we're going to

1394
01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 2: see New York. But you try to be as fourth

1395
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 2: coming as he possibly could. But he talked about looking

1396
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 2: forward to the idea of being a forty year old

1397
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 2: quarterback in the NFL. I don't know if he could

1398
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 2: come close to duplicating with Tom Brady accomplished in his forties.

1399
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 2: But he's got to stay healthy. And then as far

1400
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 2: as far as Lamar Jackson, and this really the last

1401
01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 2: couple of years where he has finished the season injured,

1402
01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,120
Speaker 2: you had to think to yourself, all right, an injury's

1403
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 2: an injury, right, he can't play. But how much was

1404
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,800
Speaker 2: that just that he was hurt? And how much was

1405
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: it the ongoing trauma, potentially physical and mental trauma of

1406
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: trying to get this deal done to extend his deal

1407
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 2: with the Ravens. Now that he is got that he

1408
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 2: ends up as the highest paid playing in the league.

1409
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:39,040
Speaker 2: Are we going to see a motivated Lamar Jackson out

1410
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,719
Speaker 2: there playing sixteen seventeen games this year? Motivated? Certainly.

1411
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,479
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're made the highest paid player in

1412
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,839
Speaker 3: the NFL, even if you wanted a fully guaranteed contract

1413
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 3: in your contract fell below that line clearly to me

1414
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 3: what went on here, and this is either by the

1415
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 3: advice from the NFLPA or from trusted advisor that maybe

1416
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 3: aren't going to get a cut of this check that

1417
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 3: he's going to now cash with the Baltimore Ravens.

1418
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 2: But it was clear now that the draft was the

1419
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 2: do date to get this done.

1420
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's very clear to me that Lamar Jackson

1421
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 3: put it in his head I will get my contract

1422
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 3: done before the draft in smartly so because I'll tell

1423
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 3: you this right now, if all of a sudden that

1424
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 3: deal isn't finalized by draft day and they locked the

1425
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 3: war room door, if I'm Lamar Jackson, I'm sweating out

1426
01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,680
Speaker 3: the next twenty four hours more so than my own

1427
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 3: draft day, because what happens if the Ravens all of

1428
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 3: a sudden go Okay, Lamar, you want to play hardball,

1429
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 3: So will we guess what we're gonna do. We're gonna

1430
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 3: go ahead and trade some of those picks that you

1431
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 3: were asking us to trade to go and get Hopkins

1432
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 3: d hop from Arizona, and we're gonna move up and

1433
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:49,880
Speaker 3: take a quarterback.

1434
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:52,879
Speaker 2: How does that feel like? That could very.

1435
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 3: Realistically have been what the Baltimore Ravens were going to do,

1436
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 3: or even maybe behind closed doors threatened they were going

1437
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 3: to do. So it seems to me that Draft day

1438
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 3: was always the day for Lamar Jackson to get the

1439
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,680
Speaker 3: thing done, and he did, and he's being rewarded for

1440
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 3: it because he gets the biggest contract in NFL history.

1441
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 3: He gets Zay Flowers with the twenty second overall pick.

1442
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 3: So clearly Baltimore's building around Lamar for the future. They

1443
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 3: brought in Odell Beckham Junior on the one year deal.

1444
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 3: You have Rashab Bateman, which hopefully if he stays healthy

1445
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 3: and he can do what he's been supposed to do

1446
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: over the course of his career, he does, I mean,

1447
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 3: this is a squad, and then throwing Mark Andrews, it's

1448
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 3: a squad.

1449
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:33,719
Speaker 2: By the way they're showing Aaron Rodgers at Madison Square Garden.

1450
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:35,479
Speaker 2: They may want to escort him out of the building.

1451
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 2: The Knicks are down eight all of a sudden, not

1452
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:43,600
Speaker 2: bringing the good karma. Interesting about this richest contract in

1453
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 2: the NFL. So obviously the Deshaun Watson contract still stands

1454
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 2: alone as the biggest fully guaranteed contract. But then you

1455
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: had Jalen Hurds get his record deal, and then that

1456
01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 2: was short lived with the deal that Lamar Jackson got.

1457
01:12:57,240 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 2: And of course we're still waiting on Joe Burrow and

1458
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,439
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert and the kind of deals they're going to get.

1459
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, the best quarterback in the league is Patrick Mahomes. Yeah,

1460
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 2: now you know Mahomes. I just wonder, is Mahomes going

1461
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 2: to follow the Tom Brady formula where Brady was the

1462
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the league, winning Super Bowls and was

1463
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 2: never the highest paid quarterback in the league, willing to

1464
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,000
Speaker 2: sacrifice some dollars in an effort to bring in as

1465
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 2: much talent around him as possible, or at some point

1466
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,800
Speaker 2: as Patrick Mahomes and his age at least Steinberg saying,

1467
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 2: maybe it's time to relook this contract now that our

1468
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:36,520
Speaker 2: quarterback is like the sixth, seventh or eighth biggest contract

1469
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,839
Speaker 2: amongst quarterbacks in the league, when he is clearly now

1470
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 2: at the top of the mountain. I just wonder what

1471
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 2: the mindset would be for a guy like Mahomes. Is

1472
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 2: he a Tom Brady like guy or is he like

1473
01:13:49,080 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 2: most quarterbacks saying, Hey, if I'm at the top of

1474
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:58,920
Speaker 2: the mountain, my salary should reflect that stature. Yeah, boy,

1475
01:13:59,040 --> 01:13:59,679
Speaker 2: great question.

1476
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 3: I mean he's only in what year, three year two

1477
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,000
Speaker 3: of this contract that he just signed.

1478
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 2: Right, got a long way to go.

1479
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1480
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,799
Speaker 2: They signed this long term deal for half a billion

1481
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 2: dollars whatever it might be.

1482
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 3: Ten year, four hundred and fifty million dollars. And the

1483
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 3: deal was this, It was one hundred and forty one

1484
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed at signing. So of course some of

1485
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 3: that will be separated over the span of the contract,

1486
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 3: some of it will be given up front. I believe

1487
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 3: at signing he got something over sixty million dollars.

1488
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 2: That's pennies compared to what they're signing now.

1489
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 3: But but well, even those guarantees are like the amount

1490
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:39,719
Speaker 3: you get at signing versus what you collect over time.

1491
01:14:40,080 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 3: That money is guaranteed, but it's spread out over the

1492
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 3: course of the contact a contract after the signing bonus.

1493
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,080
Speaker 3: The point is this, Yeah, well, maybe the annual value

1494
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 3: of the contract pales in comparison. He's he's still locked

1495
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:55,640
Speaker 3: in there with a pretty good amount of money. But

1496
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 3: I'll say this, if they repeat success this year, right,

1497
01:14:59,560 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 3: even if on a tear like a like a ten

1498
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 3: to one season type tear. If the Kansas City Chiefs

1499
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,960
Speaker 3: are smart, they'll restructure before he wins his next Super

1500
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 3: Bowl because what price tag do you put on a

1501
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 3: guy who, since he signed his most recent quarter contract,

1502
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:16,719
Speaker 3: wins you two Super Bowl?

1503
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 2: Well look what the Eagles did with Jalen Hurts. Yeah,

1504
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,799
Speaker 2: I mean just you know, he had one run, yeah,

1505
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 2: one run, even win it, just win it. And they

1506
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 2: had him at second round money and made him the

1507
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:30,600
Speaker 2: highest paid quarterback.

1508
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 4: In the league.

1509
01:15:30,640 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 3: Because again, all these quarterback contracts will age gracefully. And

1510
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 3: the look in the situation in Kansas City, it's only

1511
01:15:37,720 --> 01:15:41,000
Speaker 3: going to get worse after Burrow and Herbert sign because

1512
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,599
Speaker 3: that's just going to push the number even higher.

1513
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: All right, Rice Young was the number one pick in

1514
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:47,840
Speaker 2: this draft. How long will it take for him and

1515
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 2: Frank Reich to deliver a championship? Because ultimately that's the goal,

1516
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 2: right to win the Super Bowl? Is that the right

1517
01:15:55,920 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 2: duo to get the job done. This is Fox Sports Sunday,

1527
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:36,240
Speaker 2: when it was all said and done, all the concerns

1528
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 2: about si stature height did not matter. The Carolina Panthers

1529
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 2: traded up, as it turned out, to get one guy,

1530
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Bryce Young. That is why they traded up. You know,

1531
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 2: when we do. You don't make a trade like that

1532
01:16:51,840 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 2: unless you have your mindset on who it is that

1533
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,720
Speaker 2: you won in the draft. Frank Reich was brought in

1534
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 2: as the new coach of the Carolina Panthers, and he's

1535
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 2: certainly a guy that knows quarterbacks. He was a quarterback,

1536
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 2: He's handled a lot of quarterbacks over the years, was

1537
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 2: a quarterback coach offerensive coordinator before becoming a head coach

1538
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 2: in this league, and of course had a carousel a

1539
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 2: coach at a quarterbacks in his time as the head

1540
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:16,559
Speaker 2: coach of the Indianapolis Colts. And I'm sure he looks

1541
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,679
Speaker 2: at Bryce Young as a guy that I'm not gonna

1542
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 2: have to worry about a revolving door. This is a

1543
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 2: guy that we can now build around for the next

1544
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 2: decade plus to be our quarterback. Are you as certain

1545
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 2: as the Carolina Panthers and Frank Reich are about the

1546
01:17:32,080 --> 01:17:35,720
Speaker 2: fact that they have drafted a quarterback that is not

1547
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 2: just a franchise quarterback but a championship level quarterback in

1548
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:42,639
Speaker 2: terms of an NFL career.

1549
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:46,360
Speaker 3: Well, if he does what he did at Alabama, they

1550
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 3: have a good chance of this thing really working. You

1551
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,919
Speaker 3: know what this kind of reminds me of in division,

1552
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 3: Also what the Jacksonville Jaguars did around Trevor Lawrence bringing

1553
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 3: in Christian Kirk. They recent signed Calvin Ridley, but that

1554
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:06,679
Speaker 3: was this pass offseason, you know, having Zay Jones Jamal Agnew,

1555
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,839
Speaker 3: like they had some talent around Trevor Lawrence in receiver

1556
01:18:11,439 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 3: and then Travis at ten. He didn't have his rookie

1557
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 3: season due to injury the Urban Ameyer fiasco, by the way,

1558
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:22,080
Speaker 3: but in year two with Trevor Lawrence, with Doug Peterson

1559
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 3: like a steady head coach at the tiller, like all

1560
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 3: of a sudden, everything everything started working for Jacksonville last season.

1561
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 2: It there were some.

1562
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,759
Speaker 3: Bumps in the road. It wasn't perfect, but it worked.

1563
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,839
Speaker 3: Like I look at Frank Reich as being that steady

1564
01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 3: hand at the wheel. I look at the help they

1565
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 3: have around this offense with Adam Feelen and DJ Chark

1566
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 3: and now bring in Jonathan Mingo was their second pick.

1567
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 3: He was a very talented possession type receiver out of

1568
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 3: the slot for Mississippi last year. Big strong target, not

1569
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 3: super fast, but runs great routes. They got Miles Sanders

1570
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 3: in free agency. If Bryce Young can play the position

1571
01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 3: at the NFL level, this could work.

1572
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 4: Man, all right, But here's the question about Frank w Reich.

1573
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 2: Now, when he was with the Chargers organization, they had

1574
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 2: a veteran quarterback obviously in Philip Rivers. And when you

1575
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 2: look at his run in Indianapolis, the quarterback he had

1576
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 2: the most success with. What's Philip Rivers? Rivers had that

1577
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 2: great year for him, Well, Andrew Luck was really good

1578
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,600
Speaker 2: for him too. Okay, but my point is those are

1579
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 2: veteran quarterbacks, yeah, correct, And you have a rookie and

1580
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 2: no matter how talented you are, no matter what level

1581
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 2: you played at in your collegiate career, there is an

1582
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 2: adjustment period. Obviously, we saw a Peyton Manning who played

1583
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 2: in the SEC and set all these records and then

1584
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 2: struggled mightily as a rookie before turning things around his

1585
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 2: second year. What kind of mindset does Frank Reich have?

1586
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 2: What kind of patience does he have in terms of

1587
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 2: the obvious developmental time it will take for Bryce Young

1588
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 2: to hopefully and their sake, get to that in the

1589
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 2: level oh tremendous amount of patience.

1590
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,879
Speaker 3: I mean, he was the offensive coordinator for the Eagles

1591
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 3: when Carson Wentz came aboard, right, you know, he was

1592
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 3: the offensive coordinator for the Eagles when Nick.

1593
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,840
Speaker 2: Foles had to take over in a Super Bowl. Like,

1594
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 2: this guy is a talented quarterback, whisper.

1595
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:19,560
Speaker 3: He got a lot out a lot of the quarterbacks

1596
01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:21,639
Speaker 3: that he's coached over the course of his career. Veteran

1597
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:25,160
Speaker 3: or young player. Bryce Young's in good hands. And by

1598
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 3: the way, Hayden Hurst, I forgot to mention him at

1599
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 3: tight end. I mean, this is a stacked offense. It

1600
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 3: just comes down to whether or not Reich can get

1601
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 3: Bryce Young up to the NFL speed or vanilla the

1602
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 3: playbook enough to make this work all right.

1603
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:41,719
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, the Los Angeles Lakers

1604
01:20:41,800 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 2: advance to the second round of the playoffs. How much

1605
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 2: of a threat are they to win a championship. This

1606
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday taking it all in on another

Speaker 2: The way tire buying should be tomorrow is May first.

1613
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 2: May is sort of a weird month in sports, very

1614
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 2: much because you have the NFL Draft over and now

1615
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 2: we really sort of have this lull as far as

1616
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:26,720
Speaker 2: the NFL is concerned. We've out all the build up

1617
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 2: for the draft and there you know, there's a few

1618
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 2: pieces that will be moving around, but nothing's going to

1619
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,200
Speaker 2: be that earth shattering. This is why they really hype

1620
01:21:35,280 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 2: up mayl levels. We'll have the announcement of the NBA schedule.

1621
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly sure why that is so critical. We

1622
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 2: already know who they're playing, we know where they're playing.

1623
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 2: The only question is what dates are they playing, right,

1624
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 2: because everything else is predetermined on where you've finished in

1625
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 2: the standing, So they try to make a hype out

1626
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:52,720
Speaker 2: of that.

1627
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 4: So you're sort of in a little bit of limbo

1628
01:21:55,040 --> 01:21:55,759
Speaker 4: with the NFL.

1629
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 2: And then as far as the NBA is concerned, you know,

1630
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 2: we're finally getting into the second round the playoffs, and again,

1631
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 2: these matchups are good matchups, these four matchups. We'll see

1632
01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 2: how these playoffs. You know, Baseball, you know it's May,

1633
01:22:09,040 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 2: you know, I.

1634
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:13,240
Speaker 3: Mean, wall, Yeah, we're Look, anybody who's gonna make bold

1635
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 3: proclamations about the baseball season in April?

1636
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because look, if you.

1637
01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:23,719
Speaker 3: Are embedded as a fan of any team, just wait.

1638
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 2: It is way too early.

1639
01:22:25,560 --> 01:22:28,719
Speaker 3: The season's way too long to assume you know anything

1640
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 3: about the direction things are going yet.

1641
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 2: Golf, you got the PGA Championship, which is the least

1642
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:36,400
Speaker 2: of the four majors. There is no major in tennis

1643
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 2: in the month of May.

1644
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 4: So it's sort of like the stepsister.

1645
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 2: You know, it's not one of those five months. As

1646
01:22:44,360 --> 01:22:46,840
Speaker 2: far as the sports calendar is concerned. What it does

1647
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,519
Speaker 2: give us an opportunity, though, is to dig a little

1648
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 2: deeper into other things. And right now, the Los Angeles

1649
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 2: Lakers are waiting for tonight's matchup between the Kings and

1650
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 2: Warriors to find out who they will play in the

1651
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:01,479
Speaker 2: second round the playoffs. The Lakers playoff series win against

1652
01:23:01,479 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 2: the Grizzlies was their first playoff series win outside of

1653
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 2: the Bubble since twenty twelve. That's a long time for

1654
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 2: the Lakers, a team that in their first sixty two

1655
01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 2: years of existence were in the NBA finals half those years,

1656
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,720
Speaker 2: thirty one out of sixty two. Think about not just

1657
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Yep, they made it to the NBA finals

1658
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 2: thirty one of their first sixty two years in the NBA.

1659
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 2: Lebron James, yep, and he's already an uncharted territory in

1660
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,839
Speaker 2: terms of what he has accomplished in his twentieth season

1661
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:40,240
Speaker 2: in the NBA. But as we mentioned earlier, he's had

1662
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:44,560
Speaker 2: a hard time doing it back to back. And Anthony Davis,

1663
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 2: every time he goes down it looks like it could

1664
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:50,400
Speaker 2: be a season ender. Right. There's something about Anthony Davis

1665
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 2: and how he reacts when you know, he gets hit

1666
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 2: or something goes to the ground, he grabs something like that.

1667
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 3: Well, it happened in I want to say it was

1668
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 3: the opening game of this series against Memphis or this

1669
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:06,599
Speaker 3: last series against Memphis, where he had a stinger and

1670
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:09,280
Speaker 3: he left the game like I can't feel anything right

1671
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 3: before the half and literally said that.

1672
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,800
Speaker 2: He mouthed it, but we all know what he said.

1673
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, or I should say he said it to a

1674
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:18,600
Speaker 3: trainer on his way off the court, but we could.

1675
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 2: Read his lips.

1676
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:22,600
Speaker 3: What's crazy about that is there are certain players, and

1677
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 3: I played with some of them, who when they're hurt,

1678
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 3: you know they're hurt because they don't miss games, they

1679
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:29,040
Speaker 3: don't miss time.

1680
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:33,160
Speaker 4: They are hurt. And then there are certain players who

1681
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 4: when they're.

1682
01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 2: Hurt, yeah, yeah, well they're hurt, Like.

1683
01:24:37,520 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 3: It's a different thing. Anthony Davis, when he's hurt, he's hurt.

1684
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 3: It's just it's a it's a completely different flavor. When

1685
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 3: Lebron James is hurt, I think he's hurt. I think

1686
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 3: Lebron is a missing time unless he really honestly can't go.

1687
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 4: And I feel that way about a couple of guys.

1688
01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 3: I mean, Jannis, there's no question in my mind that

1689
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 3: that that was a severe back injury. Anytime you honest

1690
01:25:02,400 --> 01:25:04,599
Speaker 3: is off the court, There's no doubt in my mind

1691
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 3: it's because he's nursing something serious. There's a lot of

1692
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 3: guys like that, but Anthony Davis, I mean, look, if

1693
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 3: he's going to be the backbone of your team moving forward,

1694
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,599
Speaker 3: you are going to struggle because that's a guy who

1695
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 3: when he was the backbone of a Pelicans team, they

1696
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,760
Speaker 3: were hapless because they couldn't count on him. But as

1697
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 3: a co star or sometimes as like the star of

1698
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 3: an offense or a defense for that matter, when he's

1699
01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 3: on the court and he has other stars around him

1700
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 3: Lebron help, I mean, then he really shines because the

1701
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:39,720
Speaker 3: focus doesn't have to be entirely on ad to get

1702
01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 3: the job done.

1703
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:45,120
Speaker 2: I heard somebody say the potential matchup of Sabonis and

1704
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 2: Anthony Davis would be the softest matchup of talented big guys.

1705
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 2: You know both guys obviously NBA all start talent, but

1706
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 2: not exactly the toughest guys. I'd look at this Laker

1707
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 2: team and I'm thinking of myself the X fact obviously

1708
01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: these Lebron James. You have Lebron James, and the supporting

1709
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 2: crew has performed. Hatchamura came up early and then the

1710
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:13,519
Speaker 2: D'Angelo Russell was lights out in that game six forty

1711
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 2: point blowout of the Memphis Grizzlies. But then you also

1712
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 2: think about that Grizzlies series and you say, after the

1713
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:23,679
Speaker 2: Lakers went belly up in Game two, which was ugly,

1714
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 2: when Ja Morant wasn't playing, and then Dylan Brooks opened

1715
01:26:27,920 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 2: his mouth, how much did that do to propel the

1716
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 2: Lakers to eventually win that series? As opposed to how

1717
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:39,320
Speaker 2: much is that that the Lakers are coming around as

1718
01:26:39,320 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 2: a team that on paper, at least they could be

1719
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 2: the best team on paper in the Western Conference. If

1720
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 2: you look at Denver right now, you know, if you

1721
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:55,400
Speaker 2: look at Phoenix certainly the Sun's team we saw yesterday

1722
01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:57,360
Speaker 2: where they don't have a lot of depth on that team.

1723
01:26:57,360 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 2: They gave up a lot of depth in order to

1724
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:03,440
Speaker 2: make the for Durant. And then you have either Sacramento

1725
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 2: or the Warriors. The Lakers right now, with this bench,

1726
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,320
Speaker 2: the guys that they were able to acquire since the

1727
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:13,960
Speaker 2: All Star Break, on paper, they look like the best

1728
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 2: team in the West. The question is will it translate

1729
01:27:17,320 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 2: on the court. And I'm still a wait and see guy,

1730
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,640
Speaker 2: And a big part of that is in order for

1731
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:26,679
Speaker 2: them to get there, they need Lebron to be able

1732
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 2: to perform at the highest level Throati Series as he

1733
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 2: did all those years in Cleveland and Miami and his

1734
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: return to Cleveland and as he was able to do

1735
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 2: in the Bubble and winning that championship for the Lakers.

1736
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that he can still do that.

1737
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 3: Well, there's not a lot of buying from Vegas yet

1738
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 3: in what you're saying, because they're plus one thousand on

1739
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 3: most books to win a championship. But what about out

1740
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 3: of the West, out of the West to appear in

1741
01:27:55,680 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 3: the NBA Finals after watching Phoenix last And the problem

1742
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 3: with Phoenix right now is two of your three big

1743
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:02,280
Speaker 3: stars are.

1744
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 2: On the down side of the career, Durant and Chris Paul.

1745
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Booker is still there. But who's better

1746
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 2: in the West, is it? I mean, well, I'll give

1747
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,519
Speaker 2: you that right now.

1748
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:18,240
Speaker 3: Among the betting odds, there are three teams that are

1749
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 3: slated ahead of them to win the championships. So the

1750
01:28:21,360 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 3: Denver Nuggets at plus five hundred, the Phoenix Suns at

1751
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,879
Speaker 3: plus five fifty, the Golden State Warriors at plus nine hundred.

1752
01:28:27,240 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 3: Over the odds that are shown currently for the Lakers.

1753
01:28:29,800 --> 01:28:33,960
Speaker 3: See so I mean, I guess my point is, Look,

1754
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:37,600
Speaker 3: that's Vegas, is what you're saying though in theory like

1755
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:42,320
Speaker 3: on paper, true, yeah, but you have to this is

1756
01:28:42,360 --> 01:28:44,360
Speaker 3: what you'd have to guarantee me in order to get

1757
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,839
Speaker 3: me on the side to believe it's even possible. Lebron

1758
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 3: James and Anthony Davis cannot miss another single game like

1759
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,479
Speaker 3: that is one thing that it's like, not even a

1760
01:28:55,520 --> 01:28:58,040
Speaker 3: single minute that they're needed. They can't miss time.

1761
01:28:58,120 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 2: Well, they not only can't miss a game, but they

1762
01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 2: can't take off a game, right and we saw that

1763
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 2: even in this last series.

1764
01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 3: Can't happen. The other thing that has to happen is

1765
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:10,640
Speaker 3: Austin Reeves and Rui Hachimra have to be who we

1766
01:29:10,680 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 3: think they are through that first series, which are unbelievably talented. Well,

1767
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,799
Speaker 3: I shouldn't say bench depth because Reeves have cracked the lineup,

1768
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,679
Speaker 3: but Hochimra off the bench, like, you need to get

1769
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:25,320
Speaker 3: that level of play out of them for the remainder

1770
01:29:25,360 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 3: of the postseason. If you can promise me these two things,

1771
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 3: which are insane promises to try to make given the

1772
01:29:32,400 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 3: recent injury history with Lebron James and Ad and the

1773
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,120
Speaker 3: fact that these two who I just mentioned, Reeves and

1774
01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 3: Hachamra are so untested in the postseason. I mean, look,

1775
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 3: that's the reason why Vegas is showing what they're showing.

1776
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:50,280
Speaker 3: It's because nobody has any faith that that's going to

1777
01:29:50,320 --> 01:29:50,760
Speaker 3: be the case.

1778
01:29:50,800 --> 01:29:53,200
Speaker 2: Steve, all right, right now, if you had a choice

1779
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 2: in the moment of two aging superstars, okay, which duo

1780
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 2: would you choose? Lebron James and Anthony Davis or Kevin

1781
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:08,839
Speaker 2: Durant and Chris Paul And let me throw in one more, Yeah,

1782
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 2: Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. So they're all alive in

1783
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:15,519
Speaker 2: the West. All these guys are Hall of famers. All

1784
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 2: of these guys have had, you know, tremendous careers. Right today,

1785
01:30:20,200 --> 01:30:23,679
Speaker 2: if you were to choose two players, which duo would

1786
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:24,200
Speaker 2: you choose?

1787
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:31,720
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I again it again, and now it

1788
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 3: has to be A D and Lebron.

1789
01:30:34,439 --> 01:30:37,600
Speaker 2: I understand your point. I understand by the way, A

1790
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:41,240
Speaker 2: D and Lebron right now, I still think have around them.

1791
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 2: I don't know how they put this bench together because

1792
01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:46,519
Speaker 2: they were garbage earlier. I think they have the best

1793
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 2: supporting cast around, and Golden State has weapons. I'm not

1794
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 2: a big Jordan Poole guy, but I think they're I mean,

1795
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 2: and we've seen Reeves step up, We've seen hot Ta

1796
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,559
Speaker 2: Murrow step up. We've seen D'Angel Russell step up. We

1797
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:00,920
Speaker 2: don't know yet, like it's so untested.

1798
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,400
Speaker 3: But what I do know is that I do trust

1799
01:31:03,400 --> 01:31:06,360
Speaker 3: that tandem more than I trust Kevin Durant and Chris Paul.

1800
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,080
Speaker 3: I know that I do trust. I do trust them more,

1801
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:13,080
Speaker 3: I mean to a greater, lesser degree. But that's the

1802
01:31:13,120 --> 01:31:15,679
Speaker 3: close call for me. Is Klay Thompson and Steph Curry.

1803
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,680
Speaker 3: The amount of championships they've won together, the fact that

1804
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:21,920
Speaker 3: at any point either one of them are both can

1805
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 3: get so hot from three point land that they are

1806
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 3: unbeatable when they're firing off like that. But yeah, I mean,

1807
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:32,759
Speaker 3: if what would make me feel more comfortable is having

1808
01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 3: Lebron and ad if I'm picking amongst those three, but

1809
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 3: a lot more goes into I think overall, the Phoenix

1810
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 3: Suns are a more talented team than the Lakers. And

1811
01:31:44,640 --> 01:31:47,719
Speaker 3: I mean that because Booker has been incredible. It hasn't

1812
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:51,400
Speaker 3: just been about Paul and Durant. I feel similarly about

1813
01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:53,719
Speaker 3: the Golden State Warriors, because you had in Draymond Green

1814
01:31:53,720 --> 01:31:54,439
Speaker 3: into that equation.

1815
01:31:54,560 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 2: It hasn't just been those two stars.

1816
01:31:56,439 --> 01:31:59,760
Speaker 3: He's been the third wheel and has played fantastic basketball,

1817
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:02,479
Speaker 3: being kind of the bully and the defender throughout the

1818
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 3: course of their run together. So it's not just choosing

1819
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,360
Speaker 3: amongst these superstar duos. There's so much more when you

1820
01:32:09,080 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 3: widen the picture and you look at the whole thing

1821
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 3: all right.

1822
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:13,800
Speaker 2: Back and forth we go between the NBA playoffs and

1823
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:17,680
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft on the other side, the single biggest

1824
01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:24,280
Speaker 2: risk pick in this NFL draft, did the team make

1825
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,400
Speaker 2: the right decision? We'll tell you who it is. This

1826
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:31,839
Speaker 2: is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin and rich Arburger, Fox

1827
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Sports Sunday, and we are live from the tai Iraq

1828
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,639
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. Right inside four minutes to go down

1829
01:32:38,680 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter and the Heat hanging on Yeah to

1830
01:32:41,760 --> 01:32:44,799
Speaker 2: a one ninety four lead over the New York Knicks.

1831
01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 2: This would be a huge win on the road for

1832
01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:49,679
Speaker 2: the Heat and right now it's an eight seed.

1833
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 3: It feels like watching the Tennessee Titans in the fourth

1834
01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 3: quarter with the touchdown lead. They are just milking the

1835
01:32:56,439 --> 01:33:01,519
Speaker 3: clock right, they are leaning on their their on their

1836
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:06,360
Speaker 3: running game. They literally just dribbled at the just beyond

1837
01:33:06,400 --> 01:33:10,559
Speaker 3: the three point arc for twenty seconds before scoring their

1838
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 3: most recent battle.

1839
01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:14,599
Speaker 2: And the Knicks just got called for an offensive foul.

1840
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 2: So suddenly the Heat with an eight point lead, three

1841
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 2: seventeen to go in the fourth and possession and possession.

1842
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 2: So we'll keep our eye on that NBA matchup, of

1843
01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 2: course later on. I can't wait to watch this game tonight,

1844
01:33:26,120 --> 01:33:30,280
Speaker 2: Kings Warriors in Sacramento. You talk about a crowd that's

1845
01:33:30,280 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 2: gonna have an impact on a game, you know, I

1846
01:33:33,200 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 2: love it when it announces. You watch a game, right, oh,

1847
01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,760
Speaker 2: listen to the crowd and you're like, I'm not really

1848
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 2: hearing it. No, no, no, no. In Sacramento, you didn't even

1849
01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 2: have to say that. I mean, for network programming, you

1850
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 2: even watch these games and they try to keep a

1851
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 2: little balance. There is no balance. That crowd in Sacramento

1852
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 2: was so loud in those first couple of games when

1853
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 2: they beat the Warriors. I can't even imagine what it's

1854
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 2: going to be like tonight.

1855
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 3: I disagree, man like nor I nowadays especially I can

1856
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 3: hear the crowd regardless of where the games are being played,

1857
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:10,200
Speaker 3: because of how deconditioned I was to the ambient sounds

1858
01:34:10,240 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 3: of a stadium prior to the pandemic, and how much

1859
01:34:12,960 --> 01:34:16,839
Speaker 3: I missed it during the pandemic. Like I remember watching

1860
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,639
Speaker 3: broadcasts and when the when the announcer be like, oh wow,

1861
01:34:19,680 --> 01:34:21,800
Speaker 3: the crowd's really into it. You know, it's Collinsworth and

1862
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:24,799
Speaker 3: al Michael's from years past on NBC. It's Sunday Night football.

1863
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 3: It's an important down in distance play third and fifteen.

1864
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 3: You know, a team's trailing by three, it's late in

1865
01:34:29,520 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and like the crowd you can just

1866
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:35,400
Speaker 3: barely hear, but you can hear Alan Chris, maybe they're

1867
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:37,760
Speaker 3: getting a little bit louder at their voices or you know,

1868
01:34:37,840 --> 01:34:40,559
Speaker 3: Troy and but whoever. Like, it's one of those things

1869
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 3: where it's one of those things where I didn't realize

1870
01:34:44,080 --> 01:34:47,559
Speaker 3: how important that was to the broadcast until we were

1871
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 3: in the bubble, until stadiums were empty and ballparks had cutouts.

1872
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,160
Speaker 3: I was like, oh my god, Like, the crowd in

1873
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 3: terms of the broadcast is so important. It sounds like

1874
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:01,840
Speaker 3: you're doing it from like an empty It's ridiculous.

1875
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 4: So so yeah, I agree with you.

1876
01:35:04,840 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 3: It's louder than any other place in the NBA during

1877
01:35:07,560 --> 01:35:10,720
Speaker 3: the postseason, than it was in Sacramento, than it is

1878
01:35:10,760 --> 01:35:13,400
Speaker 3: anywhere else. But I mean the garden right now, are

1879
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 3: you kidding me? With the home team trailing by eight,

1880
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:20,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you turn this on. The crowd is living

1881
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,200
Speaker 3: and dying on every possession right now. The lead's just

1882
01:35:23,240 --> 01:35:24,439
Speaker 3: been extended though, yeah.

1883
01:35:24,280 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 2: That he just went up by ten now inside three

1884
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 2: minutes ago. The heat are taking over this game at

1885
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 2: Madison Square Garden against the Knicks. All right. Getting back

1886
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft, without question, the biggest risk pick

1887
01:35:38,960 --> 01:35:43,680
Speaker 2: was not unexpected, but Anthony Richardson fourth overall to the

1888
01:35:43,760 --> 01:35:46,280
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts. By the way, Jim Ersay, the owner of

1889
01:35:46,320 --> 01:35:48,360
Speaker 2: the team, really went out on a limp. This guy's

1890
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:50,839
Speaker 2: a whack job. I like him though, he's a good guy.

1891
01:35:51,720 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 2: He put out after they drafted Anthony Richardson on his Twitter,

1892
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 2: Hey do you think we should draft Will Levis? You know,

1893
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:01,599
Speaker 2: I mean he was being goofy. And then on top

1894
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 2: of that, he said that had India had the number

1895
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 2: one overall pick, they still would have taken Anthony Richardson,

1896
01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:12,120
Speaker 2: which is all great to say, if you're the owner

1897
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:13,880
Speaker 2: of the team, but you've got a rookie head coach

1898
01:36:13,920 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 2: and Shane Steichen, and right now, if you look at

1899
01:36:17,080 --> 01:36:20,679
Speaker 2: their quarterback roster, it's not like Kansas City had already

1900
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:24,439
Speaker 2: Alex Smith. They just signed Gardner Minshew. You got Nick

1901
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,720
Speaker 2: Foles and you've got Sam Ellinger. Yep, those are your

1902
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:30,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks right now for the Colts. So it's not like

1903
01:36:30,200 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 2: you've got some established guy to sort of hold the

1904
01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 2: place while you try to develop Anthony Richardson. If you're

1905
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen, another guy you know from his coaching days

1906
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 2: with the Chargers, yep, you're a rookie head coach. You

1907
01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 2: got an owner on the record saying this is the

1908
01:36:48,160 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 2: best player in this drap period. And you don't have

1909
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,720
Speaker 2: a lot of experience a quarterbacks to fall back on.

1910
01:36:54,920 --> 01:36:57,599
Speaker 2: I guess Nick Foles has experience, but we haven't seen

1911
01:36:57,640 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 2: a whole lot of Nick won that Super Bowl several

1912
01:37:00,360 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 2: years ago with Philadelphia. How much What do you do

1913
01:37:04,280 --> 01:37:06,519
Speaker 2: with Anthony richards I mean, do you just throw him

1914
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,799
Speaker 2: to the fire immediately? No?

1915
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,680
Speaker 4: No, no, Bobby, who is starting a quarterback?

1916
01:37:12,040 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 2: Well, in the meantime, I think you start Gardner Minshew.

1917
01:37:16,720 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 2: I think that's your only choice. Wow, I think well.

1918
01:37:19,560 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 2: And by the way, it's a new system for Minshew,

1919
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 2: new coach. I don't know what Shane Stycken's bring into that.

1920
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:28,720
Speaker 2: Darn Minshew is not a terrible placeholder. Gardner Minshew has

1921
01:37:28,800 --> 01:37:31,760
Speaker 2: won football games, in big games in the NFL. Look,

1922
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:34,880
Speaker 2: he is not a starting quarterback. He's a backup and

1923
01:37:34,920 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 2: that's exactly the reason why he's there. Frankly, that's the

1924
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 2: reason why Nick Foles is there as well. He's been

1925
01:37:39,520 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 2: a career backup outside of moments that that's what you have.

1926
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,360
Speaker 2: You have a couple of veterans in the room who've

1927
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 2: been in some huge moments, have been a part of

1928
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 2: some big winning moments in the NFL recently. Who can

1929
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:55,120
Speaker 2: show Anthony Richards in the ropes? And why you have

1930
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:57,679
Speaker 2: Nick Foles? I mean, how are you going to keep

1931
01:37:57,760 --> 01:37:58,479
Speaker 2: Nick Foles?

1932
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,439
Speaker 3: I meanly, maybe he's on the chopping block now that

1933
01:38:02,439 --> 01:38:05,280
Speaker 3: the draft has come and gone. I mean Sam Ellinger.

1934
01:38:05,520 --> 01:38:07,799
Speaker 2: I mean, if he's in a quarterback room with Gardner

1935
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:11,000
Speaker 2: Minshew and Sam Ellinger, how much is he actually going

1936
01:38:11,040 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 2: to learn?

1937
01:38:13,200 --> 01:38:15,799
Speaker 4: Who's that I mean talking about Anthony Richards?

1938
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well, I mean, he'll learn a lot. I

1939
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 3: don't look, it doesn't matter who the surrounding cast is

1940
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,320
Speaker 3: that you're you're talking about. You're talking about a guy

1941
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 3: who's played high level football for years now. And again,

1942
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:30,519
Speaker 3: do you trust Gardner Minshew as much as you trust

1943
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,880
Speaker 3: to Nick Foles? Maybe as like a veteran counsel in

1944
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:37,120
Speaker 3: the room. Maybe not, But is he going to play

1945
01:38:37,160 --> 01:38:39,479
Speaker 3: better for you while you're waiting for Richardson to catch up?

1946
01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,920
Speaker 3: I'd argue, yeah, So I think that's what they would

1947
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:44,760
Speaker 3: do if if one's got to go, you got these

1948
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:47,439
Speaker 3: four its Ellinger, Richardson a Minshew. Moving forward, it would

1949
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:49,080
Speaker 3: be Foles would be the one who falls off for me.

1950
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:53,880
Speaker 3: But going back to the Indianapolis Colts draft, like at

1951
01:38:53,960 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 3: number four overall, I kind of feel like they did

1952
01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 3: this the right way, like in terms of what I

1953
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:04,320
Speaker 3: saw at the college level and the type of athlete

1954
01:39:04,400 --> 01:39:08,479
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is, and you know, the immediate impact it

1955
01:39:08,600 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 3: is to have a dual threat quarterback come into a system.

1956
01:39:12,080 --> 01:39:13,439
Speaker 2: I like the pick. I think.

1957
01:39:13,520 --> 01:39:15,840
Speaker 3: I mean, if we're going to say, between him and

1958
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 3: Will Levis, who would you rather, again, not knowing Will

1959
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 3: Levis could go On and have a Hall of Fame career.

1960
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:23,679
Speaker 3: For all we know, Richardson could stink. But I mean today,

1961
01:39:23,760 --> 01:39:25,800
Speaker 3: if you're asking me today, I think they made the

1962
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 3: right choice.

1963
01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:30,520
Speaker 2: So I was going back and I needed to familiarize

1964
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 2: myself with Anthony Richardson at Florida because I really wasn't

1965
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 2: paying a whole lot of attention to the Florida Gators

1966
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 2: this year. Why would I? So I went back and

1967
01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 2: I was looking at some highlights and low lights. Some

1968
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:45,680
Speaker 2: of the pluses of mine is with Anthony Richardson. The athleticism,

1969
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,360
Speaker 2: obviously is there off the charts. What is not there,

1970
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:51,880
Speaker 2: obviously is his ability to consistently deliver the ball where

1971
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 2: it's supposed to be delivered.

1972
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 4: That's a little bit of a misnown and that well

1973
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 4: I was watching.

1974
01:39:56,560 --> 01:40:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean they were showing situations where he's doing some

1975
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 2: checkdowns and guys are open and he's just not putting

1976
01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,320
Speaker 2: the ball where it's supposed to be. What again, it

1977
01:40:07,360 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 2: was his first full year as a start. He's twenty

1978
01:40:09,280 --> 01:40:12,479
Speaker 2: years old. I'm just wondering what Shane Stiken can do,

1979
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 2: I mean, in helping to develop, because unless he can

1980
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 2: get him to that level, it's going to be a

1981
01:40:19,120 --> 01:40:21,880
Speaker 2: big challenge for him to be successful at the NFL level. Oh,

1982
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:24,120
Speaker 2: there's no question about it. But look at his past.

1983
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,760
Speaker 3: Shane Steiken has worked with Justin Herbert yep as a

1984
01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 3: young offensive coordinator in this league. He's worked with Jellen

1985
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 3: Hurts as you know, as he's cut his as loll.

1986
01:40:35,920 --> 01:40:38,880
Speaker 2: Those guys are sixty five percent passers in college. I

1987
01:40:38,960 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 2: understand that.

1988
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,400
Speaker 3: But that's the reason why I said I'll push back

1989
01:40:41,400 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 3: a little bit here because Anthony Richardson when you turn

1990
01:40:44,280 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 3: on the film, his receivers let him down a lot,

1991
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:50,839
Speaker 3: a lot tight ends, wide receivers, well placed, balls dropped.

1992
01:40:51,280 --> 01:40:53,080
Speaker 3: I mean, look, was it every time?

1993
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 2: No?

1994
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,519
Speaker 3: Are you right that the appraisal and what should be

1995
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 3: factored in is that he also was off the money

1996
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,799
Speaker 3: or off the I'm with some of these throws also, yeah, true,

1997
01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:06,200
Speaker 3: but he I mean if you look up the drops

1998
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:08,640
Speaker 3: that Florida had in some key moments, I mean he

1999
01:41:08,680 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 3: would paint a guy in the chest and it would

2000
01:41:11,600 --> 01:41:14,960
Speaker 3: just bounce off a face mask. You would talk about

2001
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:17,439
Speaker 3: like a touch drow to the sideline beyond thirty five

2002
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 3: yards forty yards, beautiful high arching pass drop right in

2003
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,679
Speaker 3: the bread basket and through the elbows of a waiting

2004
01:41:23,680 --> 01:41:25,400
Speaker 3: receiver trying to guide this thing in.

2005
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:27,480
Speaker 2: It's just it was a frustration.

2006
01:41:27,680 --> 01:41:29,880
Speaker 3: I'm sure of his and that coaching staff there with

2007
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:34,280
Speaker 3: the Gators that at the NFL level it shouldn't rear

2008
01:41:34,320 --> 01:41:37,080
Speaker 3: its head as much you would you would assume. I mean,

2009
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:39,679
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong. They're a little light at receiver

2010
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 3: outside of Pittman Junior, but these are pros. This is

2011
01:41:44,439 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 3: the best college football has to offer at the NFL level.

2012
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 3: Even the third or the second receiver on a team

2013
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:52,759
Speaker 3: on a team with bad receiving depth should be better

2014
01:41:52,800 --> 01:41:54,599
Speaker 3: than what he had talent wise.

2022
01:42:22,080 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 2: this Nick's Heat series.

2023
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:25,440
Speaker 5: Are we surprised?

2024
01:42:26,160 --> 01:42:27,360
Speaker 2: Not really?

2025
01:42:27,400 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 3: Ran?

2026
01:42:27,840 --> 01:42:31,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like I reuilize the Heat lost I know first

2027
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:34,200
Speaker 2: playing Gage, we never have played playing but the.

2028
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:36,479
Speaker 3: Way they played the Bucks though, I mean that was

2029
01:42:36,880 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 3: astounding in their com with a full head of steam

2030
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:41,040
Speaker 3: in this series.

2031
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:44,880
Speaker 5: Yes, but what's trending is not Jimmy. No, because there

2032
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:46,479
Speaker 5: was a scary moment.

2033
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:48,600
Speaker 8: You guys didn't see me. You guys were, you know,

2034
01:42:48,680 --> 01:42:50,519
Speaker 8: all cozied up, and you didn't see that. I threw

2035
01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,760
Speaker 8: my hands up. I was like, I can't believe it.

2036
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:56,759
Speaker 8: About five minutes left into the fourth quarter, Jimmy seemed

2037
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 8: to have rolled his right ankle.

2038
01:42:58,680 --> 01:43:02,040
Speaker 5: It's like he got stuck on Josh Mart. You guys didn't.

2039
01:43:02,040 --> 01:43:04,600
Speaker 5: You guys were chatting and I was like making.

2040
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 2: A bunch of him, Hey, I look at him.

2041
01:43:06,280 --> 01:43:11,400
Speaker 8: Oh no, I'm gonna give you the play. At five

2042
01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:14,920
Speaker 8: minutes to go, he went in for a close jumper,

2043
01:43:15,240 --> 01:43:18,000
Speaker 8: but he seemed to get stuck his right ankle under

2044
01:43:18,080 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 8: Josh Hart. He was on the floor for several minutes.

2045
01:43:21,240 --> 01:43:23,080
Speaker 8: You could tell he was in pain. They went to

2046
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 8: a time out because he couldn't get up. Got up,

2047
01:43:26,840 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 8: did both free throws, made them and you could see

2048
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,479
Speaker 8: him kind of limping as he was running.

2049
01:43:31,640 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 5: But he stayed in the game.

2050
01:43:33,080 --> 01:43:36,599
Speaker 8: Why the Knicks did not the next play go at him.

2051
01:43:36,720 --> 01:43:38,720
Speaker 5: They did it. They did it. They let him kind

2052
01:43:38,720 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 5: of just wobble. He stayed in the game.

2053
01:43:40,560 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 8: He's got twenty five points and eleven rebounds. The Heat

2054
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:45,880
Speaker 8: are gonna pull this one off one oh seven to

2055
01:43:46,000 --> 01:43:48,000
Speaker 8: ninety nine, thirteen seconds to warn the game.

2056
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:49,440
Speaker 5: But he was on the floor.

2057
01:43:49,160 --> 01:43:51,960
Speaker 8: For so long holding onto his ankle, you thought something

2058
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:53,400
Speaker 8: way more than just the sprain.

2059
01:43:53,800 --> 01:43:57,000
Speaker 5: But he's there. This is this is why you love Jimmy.

2060
01:43:57,120 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 3: Well, this is what I was talking about with Lebron

2061
01:43:59,240 --> 01:44:02,639
Speaker 3: and like the difference between Lebron is when he's hurt,

2062
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 3: he's hurt. When he's hurt, he's got a paper yeah cut.

2063
01:44:07,160 --> 01:44:12,240
Speaker 2: But well, Julius Randall, guys, he's he's really hurt, and

2064
01:44:12,280 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 2: he he he'll play, he'll muscle through some stuff. And

2065
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,920
Speaker 2: you're right about Randall. I mean that's that. Yeah, that

2066
01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:21,120
Speaker 2: could be a fact they showed. Yeah, he's not happy.

2067
01:44:21,360 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 8: There's several people at this game, including Aaron Rodgers of

2068
01:44:25,120 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 8: course in New York.

2069
01:44:26,640 --> 01:44:27,639
Speaker 2: He's brought some good vibes.

2070
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's there, Chris Rock is there.

2071
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 8: Dwayne Wade with his wife was there. Yeah, Martha Stewart,

2072
01:44:35,600 --> 01:44:39,599
Speaker 8: everybody's there, guys, we should be.

2073
01:44:40,040 --> 01:44:42,160
Speaker 5: At Madison Square Garden and that is for sure.

2074
01:44:42,400 --> 01:44:45,439
Speaker 8: But luckily, like I said, Jimmy played even though he

2075
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:48,360
Speaker 8: was hobbling up and down the court the last few minutes.

2076
01:44:48,400 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 5: So hopefully it's nothing crazy.

2077
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,280
Speaker 8: And that he can play in Game two. But yes,

2078
01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,960
Speaker 8: Miami's gonna win Game one. We're gonna get Game seven

2079
01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:58,400
Speaker 8: right right after this game between the Kings and the Warriors.

2080
01:44:58,400 --> 01:44:59,719
Speaker 5: Who do he has got game seven?

2081
01:45:00,320 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 3: I mean Kings to me, like I said this yesterday

2082
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 3: on Fox Sports Saturday, look that if you like the

2083
01:45:08,200 --> 01:45:10,400
Speaker 3: Kings on the point spread, because I think it's one

2084
01:45:10,479 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 3: point to spread.

2085
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:15,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think.

2086
01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 3: This game goes to Sacramento and they win it, and

2087
01:45:17,360 --> 01:45:19,679
Speaker 3: it could be it could be by a large margin.

2088
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a tough place to win right now.

2089
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 2: By the way, if the Warriors do lose tonight, is

2090
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 2: that officially over for the Warriors?

2091
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:26,520
Speaker 5: Like the dynasty?

2092
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:30,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean remember last year they came out of

2093
01:45:30,120 --> 01:45:32,960
Speaker 2: nowhere last I know, like no one was picking the

2094
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 2: Warriors to win the championship. What are those contracts? Football

2095
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 2: gods for whatever reason decided to smile on them and

2096
01:45:39,320 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 2: they ended up winning a championship again. But if they

2097
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:46,160
Speaker 2: go down, I mean, they got contracts locked in for

2098
01:45:46,200 --> 01:45:46,840
Speaker 2: a long time.

2099
01:45:46,960 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2100
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:49,720
Speaker 2: Now they're paying step over fifty million a year, That's

2101
01:45:49,760 --> 01:45:51,320
Speaker 2: what I mean the next couple of years. There's no

2102
01:45:51,439 --> 01:45:54,040
Speaker 2: way out of that. How long are they signed through?

2103
01:45:54,200 --> 01:45:54,840
Speaker 2: I think?

2104
01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:58,519
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, it's Curry's deal expires in twenty six, Clay's

2105
01:45:58,560 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 3: deal expires in twenty four. Yeah, so I mean there's

2106
01:46:01,400 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 3: a way out there. Draymond's deal expires in twenty four.

2107
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, you know what.

2108
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,560
Speaker 4: But they get bounced in the first round. That's it.

2109
01:46:10,560 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 2: It's it's the end of the road. They gave Jordan

2110
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 2: Poole all that money, waste of money. Wow, you know

2111
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 2: doesn't like Jordan Poole. Who is Michael Thompson really? Yeah?

2112
01:46:20,439 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 2: You know Clay's dad. I was talking to Michael about

2113
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:26,439
Speaker 2: the Warriors and he's like, yeah, he is not a

2114
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 2: Jordan Poole fan. He cannot believe they gave him.

2115
01:46:28,920 --> 01:46:29,479
Speaker 6: All that money.

2116
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,120
Speaker 3: Way, and neither does Draymond Green because he punched them

2117
01:46:32,160 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 3: in the face of the practice.

2118
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 8: It was delimber that right, So maybe mister Thompson was

2119
01:46:36,200 --> 01:46:37,200
Speaker 8: like you that's it.

2120
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:40,320
Speaker 2: Exactly. That's it. Back to you guys. All right, thanks

2121
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:43,600
Speaker 2: mon Seeing Wow, yeah, he's not a big fan. Not

2122
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:44,120
Speaker 2: a big fan.

2123
01:46:44,280 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 3: Well, listen, I it's impossible to like everyone on a team.

2124
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:51,479
Speaker 3: It's impossible for all the stars to get together. I

2125
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 3: think if there's one thing that I will ultimately give

2126
01:46:54,880 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 3: a ton of credit to Steve Kerk for is managing

2127
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:03,599
Speaker 3: some insane personalities over the course of the set.

2128
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:07,799
Speaker 2: Last year was such an especially without Kevin Durant, because

2129
01:47:08,040 --> 01:47:10,800
Speaker 2: you know what really happened. They won that first championship

2130
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 2: right before Durant. The next year they win seventy three

2131
01:47:14,040 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 2: games one and the Caps win three in a row,

2132
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,439
Speaker 2: and then they pick up Durant and somehow those two

2133
01:47:19,479 --> 01:47:23,679
Speaker 2: championships that Durant was like, yeah, was it really Steph

2134
01:47:23,800 --> 01:47:26,280
Speaker 2: and Clay and Draymond or was that Kevin Durant who

2135
01:47:26,360 --> 01:47:29,960
Speaker 2: played great? And when back to back finals MVPs, then

2136
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 2: they go off the cliff. Durant, you know, they had

2137
01:47:31,880 --> 01:47:34,280
Speaker 2: the worst wreaking the league one year, then they got

2138
01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 2: bounced and then to come back.

2139
01:47:36,360 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 3: Yet he was out for two years, No I know,

2140
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 3: but that was it. So he got hurt in the postseason.

2141
01:47:42,680 --> 01:47:46,400
Speaker 3: Well in Toronto win and then Clay was out the

2142
01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:49,760
Speaker 3: entire year and that was the year that they.

2143
01:47:49,400 --> 01:47:52,200
Speaker 2: Come for two years because then Curry got hurt that season.

2144
01:47:52,240 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 2: Two years remember, so twenty twenty they both were out,

2145
01:47:54,720 --> 01:47:57,439
Speaker 2: yeah yeah, yea yeah, and then twenty one he Clay

2146
01:47:57,520 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 2: was still out yep. And then last year obviously he

2147
01:48:00,200 --> 01:48:02,600
Speaker 2: came back mid season. They end up winning a championship.

2148
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:05,840
Speaker 2: So look, they it's frosting on the cake as far

2149
01:48:05,880 --> 01:48:08,640
Speaker 2: as they're concern. But we are getting ready for that

2150
01:48:08,720 --> 01:48:10,599
Speaker 2: matchup and that should be a heck of a matchup

2151
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:12,960
Speaker 2: coming up here. I want to stay with the NFL

2152
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 2: Draft here for a second. We're just talking about the

2153
01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:19,680
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts and how you handle a quarterback like Anthony Richardson.

2154
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 2: There were a couple of surprises in this draft running back.

2155
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:28,880
Speaker 2: You know, the Detroit Lions certainly got a lot of

2156
01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 2: looks when they took a back that was not deemed

2157
01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 2: a three down back with the twelfth overall pick in

2158
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:39,880
Speaker 2: the draft. So what happened here? Bjhon Robinson. We knew

2159
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,519
Speaker 2: was going to be a potential top pit ten pick,

2160
01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:48,360
Speaker 2: which he was, but why did the Lions do what

2161
01:48:48,439 --> 01:48:52,000
Speaker 2: they It's confounding. I here's the deal.

2162
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:56,080
Speaker 3: I give the Detroit Lions one of the lowest grades

2163
01:48:56,080 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 3: in this draft. Now, it doesn't mean that Gibbs can't

2164
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 3: go on and become a future Hall of Famer. He

2165
01:49:03,479 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 3: certainly can. But I'm saying, you know, if you if

2166
01:49:07,360 --> 01:49:11,520
Speaker 3: you look where where they could have taken Bijon Robinson.

2167
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:14,840
Speaker 3: I guess you could make the argument that if Gibbs

2168
01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:17,880
Speaker 3: ends up working out and they a mere Gibbs and

2169
01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,720
Speaker 3: and they get all that draft capital and some of

2170
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:23,200
Speaker 3: those picks work out, well, then they'll look like geniuses.

2171
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:26,040
Speaker 3: But what if they don't. That's kind of my point

2172
01:49:26,080 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 3: about risk versus reward. Okay, Bijehn Robinson is one of

2173
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,960
Speaker 3: the most surefire running backs to leave college football since

2174
01:49:33,040 --> 01:49:38,120
Speaker 3: Ricky Williams, and and you're and you're, you're, you're skipping

2175
01:49:38,200 --> 01:49:41,320
Speaker 3: on him to get some capital to go down and

2176
01:49:41,479 --> 01:49:44,719
Speaker 3: pick Gibbs. This could all blow up in your face.

2177
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 3: I just thought it was too cute. I think they

2178
01:49:47,280 --> 01:49:50,080
Speaker 3: outthought the room and then you saw like the war

2179
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:54,240
Speaker 3: room cameras pick up the celebration because maybe they maybe

2180
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 3: they spotlighted Gibbs as a guy they absolutely wanted, and

2181
01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 3: they were hoping that they could trade back because they

2182
01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:01,360
Speaker 3: knew he wouldn't be taken in the top ten, and

2183
01:50:01,360 --> 01:50:03,839
Speaker 3: they felt comfortable at twelve, but were nervous and maybe

2184
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 3: maybe maybe they get them. I'm astounded that they did this.

2185
01:50:08,320 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 3: I think there is no value. Even Bijon Robinson at

2186
01:50:11,479 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 3: five to Atlanta was a mistake, in my opinion. I

2187
01:50:14,120 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 3: don't think there's any value to take a running back

2188
01:50:17,200 --> 01:50:19,840
Speaker 3: anywhere near the top ten. And that has nothing to

2189
01:50:19,880 --> 01:50:21,960
Speaker 3: do with how great they are or could potentially be

2190
01:50:22,479 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 3: in the NFL. They're just so corner, left tackle, quarterback.

2191
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:31,040
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, let's go down the list, wide, receiver,

2192
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:35,639
Speaker 3: edge rusher. I can name five positions that have way

2193
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:39,320
Speaker 3: more positional value than running back just sitting here thinking

2194
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:41,800
Speaker 3: about it. I mean, you can make the argument for

2195
01:50:41,920 --> 01:50:45,920
Speaker 3: defensive tackle before you get to before you get to

2196
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:46,719
Speaker 3: running back.

2197
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:50,839
Speaker 2: Because especially last year's Lions team arguably the worst defense

2198
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 2: in the rule. My goodness, I'm so shocked. I mean,

2199
01:50:53,560 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 2: take a defense, defense and you had not much else.

2200
01:50:57,800 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 2: They won as many games as they did because they're off.

2201
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:01,240
Speaker 2: Was that good?

2202
01:51:01,360 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 3: A lot of people were, like Chris Gonzalez is sitting there.

2203
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,639
Speaker 3: I mean, I can't believe they didn't take him. I agree,

2204
01:51:06,880 --> 01:51:09,240
Speaker 3: like they needed help on the back end of that defense,

2205
01:51:09,360 --> 01:51:10,479
Speaker 3: and they had running back.

2206
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: And think about this, they came in, they had a

2207
01:51:12,240 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 2: couple of ones, a couple of twos, couple of threes.

2208
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:16,400
Speaker 4: They could have moved up in this draft, no question.

2209
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 2: They had the mechanism to move up and get a

2210
01:51:19,560 --> 01:51:23,600
Speaker 2: super stud on the defensive side of the football, and

2211
01:51:23,640 --> 01:51:25,960
Speaker 2: they didn't, And they use their first pick on a

2212
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:28,439
Speaker 2: running back. They ended up getting Handon Hooker. I like

2213
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,719
Speaker 2: Hendon Hooker. He's not going to probably play much this year,

2214
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:33,960
Speaker 2: and he is twenty five years old. He's the same

2215
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:36,840
Speaker 2: age as Sam Darnold, by the way, but I like

2216
01:51:36,920 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 2: him a lot. I mean as a quarterback of the future,

2217
01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:43,719
Speaker 2: although he's almost as old as Jared Yeah.

2218
01:51:43,960 --> 01:51:47,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's crazy.

2219
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 2: But this was a golden opportunity for an organization that's

2220
01:51:51,080 --> 01:51:54,679
Speaker 2: so starved to get back into relevance. Having the season

2221
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:56,840
Speaker 2: they had a year ago, really a breakout here and

2222
01:51:57,040 --> 01:51:59,360
Speaker 2: have all these draft picks in the first three rounds

2223
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:01,600
Speaker 2: and you're looking at at their picks and like, what

2224
01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,320
Speaker 2: was the game plan here? I mean, they signed h

2225
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:08,759
Speaker 2: who was it? I would have gone defense, defense, defense, defense, defense.

2226
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 3: They signed Montgomery right right, you know they could have

2227
01:52:12,400 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 3: gotten a guy like charbon A Sharbonay later. I mean

2228
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:19,400
Speaker 3: like they I'm saying, like in terms of draft picks,

2229
01:52:19,400 --> 01:52:22,759
Speaker 3: Montgomery obviously with the defense.

2230
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how bad they were.

2231
01:52:24,720 --> 01:52:26,639
Speaker 3: Look if you want to, My point is, I'm trying

2232
01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:29,280
Speaker 3: to justify the running back position, like if you wanted

2233
01:52:29,320 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 3: to draft a running back, like that was a goal

2234
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:33,320
Speaker 3: of yours, Like if there's one thing we need to

2235
01:52:33,360 --> 01:52:35,880
Speaker 3: concentrate on, Yeah, positional value is important, but we do

2236
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:38,519
Speaker 3: want a running back, Like you're gonna you're gonna go

2237
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:42,160
Speaker 3: first of all, you're gonna go with Gibbs instead of

2238
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:44,439
Speaker 3: b John Robinson, and you're gonna do it in the

2239
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 3: first round. I mean, there could have been potential for

2240
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:48,120
Speaker 3: Gibbs to fall out of the first round in the

2241
01:52:48,120 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 3: first place. I just don't understand the whole thing. We'll see.

2242
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:56,559
Speaker 3: I will say this, the Detroit Lions, over the course

2243
01:52:56,800 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 3: of time that Dan Campbell has been the head coach,

2244
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:03,240
Speaker 3: have nothing but doubters, and he's proved them wrong just

2245
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:06,679
Speaker 3: about at every turn. So maybe we've got this wrong.

2246
01:53:07,120 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 3: Maybe somehow, every single analyst who's observed the draft and

2247
01:53:11,160 --> 01:53:13,920
Speaker 3: has given the Lions, like I did, a low grade.

2248
01:53:14,320 --> 01:53:16,840
Speaker 3: Feels different. Maybe they feel differently in house, and maybe

2249
01:53:16,880 --> 01:53:20,360
Speaker 3: they'll turn things around defensively. But they didn't take a

2250
01:53:20,400 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 3: single defender until their fourth pick. They got Branch out

2251
01:53:24,320 --> 01:53:28,720
Speaker 3: of Alabama, solid player, but they only added what was it,

2252
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:32,160
Speaker 3: Broderick Martin out of Western Kentucky later, and that was.

2253
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:36,840
Speaker 2: It Western Kentucky. I don't know. I mean, I thought

2254
01:53:36,960 --> 01:53:40,160
Speaker 2: the Lions were just gonna go knee deep into defense.

2255
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:44,320
Speaker 2: That's what I saw from twenty twenty tweet twenty twenty two.

2256
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:47,320
Speaker 2: A big need on the defensive side, all right. On

2257
01:53:47,360 --> 01:53:50,840
Speaker 2: the other side, one team was so confident that they

2258
01:53:50,960 --> 01:53:54,680
Speaker 2: really had a set roster that their second pick in

2259
01:53:54,720 --> 01:53:58,439
Speaker 2: the draft was a kicker. That's why you say, we really,

2260
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,880
Speaker 2: we really don't need anything. But this team may have

2261
01:54:01,960 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 2: overlooked the most important position. We'll talk about the forty Niners.

2262
01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:12,080
Speaker 2: Are they really set at quarterback? This is Fox Sports Sunday.

2275

Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers, and we have a acknowledge this

2276
01:55:01,360 --> 01:55:06,680
Speaker 2: on several occasions. If you eliminate quarterback, their roster is

2277
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 2: the equal or superior of every other team in the league.

2278
01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:12,840
Speaker 2: Doubt if you take out quarterback impact guys on both

2279
01:55:12,880 --> 01:55:15,840
Speaker 2: sides of the football. I'm not quite sure what their

2280
01:55:15,880 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 2: mindset was in this draft, but they took Jake Moody,

2281
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 2: the Michigan kicker, in the third round, which was their

2282
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,520
Speaker 2: second pick. They of course, had given up their number

2283
01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 2: one pick. I believe in the McCaffrey deal, which paid dividends,

2284
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:30,560
Speaker 2: but I keep looking at this forty nine er quarterback

2285
01:55:30,640 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 2: situation and forget brock Perty for a second, and forget

2286
01:55:35,440 --> 01:55:40,080
Speaker 2: Trey Lance for a second. They picked up Sam Darnald. Yeah.

2287
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,040
Speaker 2: I want to remind people this, Sam Donald has already

2288
01:55:43,040 --> 01:55:48,560
Speaker 2: played five years in the NFL. Sam Donald is four

2289
01:55:48,600 --> 01:55:53,000
Speaker 2: months older than Stetson Bennett who was just drafted. He

2290
01:55:53,200 --> 01:55:57,280
Speaker 2: is seven months older than hen And Hooker who was

2291
01:55:57,520 --> 01:56:00,480
Speaker 2: just drafted. He's twenty five years old. He's twenty five

2292
01:56:00,520 --> 01:56:04,440
Speaker 2: years old, and he's already played five years in the NFL.

2293
01:56:06,840 --> 01:56:08,600
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but if I were to

2294
01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:13,879
Speaker 2: say who has more talent Sam Donald versus Brock Purty,

2295
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna guess Sam Donald has more talent. The question

2296
01:56:19,360 --> 01:56:22,920
Speaker 2: here is how much are the forty nine ers banking

2297
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:25,400
Speaker 2: on the fact because right now they're saying, well, I mean,

2298
01:56:25,600 --> 01:56:28,400
Speaker 2: Trey Lance doesn't even seem to be in the conversation anymore.

2299
01:56:28,760 --> 01:56:30,960
Speaker 2: It's about when is block Perty going to be back

2300
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:33,360
Speaker 2: to resume what he did a year ago?

2301
01:56:33,640 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 4: If he can resume what he did a year ago.

2302
01:56:36,680 --> 01:56:39,000
Speaker 2: I am so intrigued by Sam Donald because you know,

2303
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:42,040
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers five years ago or now six

2304
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 2: years ago when he came out of the draft and

2305
01:56:44,080 --> 01:56:46,920
Speaker 2: that year was at Baker Mayfield or Sam Donald I'm

2306
01:56:46,960 --> 01:56:50,840
Speaker 2: sure that John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan were big Sam

2307
01:56:50,920 --> 01:56:53,480
Speaker 2: Donald guys, and now they get him at age twenty

2308
01:56:53,520 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 2: five with five years of NFL experience, good and bad.

2309
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm I'm I think Sam Donald could be the guy.

2310
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:04,080
Speaker 2: Listen to me.

2311
01:57:04,280 --> 01:57:09,080
Speaker 3: Sam Donald is, in my mind a sympathetic figure. I

2312
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:13,280
Speaker 3: think that Sam Donald is one of those quarterbacks who

2313
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 3: could potentially have a breakout year with the San Francisco

2314
01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,280
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, and a lot of people would be like, well,

2315
01:57:18,320 --> 01:57:20,600
Speaker 3: that came out of nowhere. Well, then you haven't been

2316
01:57:20,600 --> 01:57:23,040
Speaker 3: paying attention to some of the things that have happened

2317
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 3: around him. He was drafted to an unmitigated disaster in

2318
01:57:28,600 --> 01:57:34,320
Speaker 3: New York. That was a disaster. They were terrible. Adam

2319
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:39,240
Speaker 3: Gase was terrible. Todd Bowles after him was terrible. I mean,

2320
01:57:39,280 --> 01:57:41,840
Speaker 3: it just was not good. And then he goes to

2321
01:57:41,920 --> 01:57:45,280
Speaker 3: Carolina where in that first season they fire Matt Ruhle.

2322
01:57:46,440 --> 01:57:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he has been subjected to some of the

2323
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:54,960
Speaker 3: worst general managing and coaching decisions over the course of

2324
01:57:55,120 --> 01:57:58,680
Speaker 3: any early career in quarterback history. You could make that

2325
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 3: argument Matt r was not a good head coach. Adam

2326
01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 3: Gaze was worse it was. I mean, it's a calamity

2327
01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 3: of events that have gotten him to this point. But

2328
01:58:10,560 --> 01:58:14,560
Speaker 3: he's cheap and like you said, he's experienced, and if

2329
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:19,160
Speaker 3: he isn't broken, which is possible because he's been through

2330
01:58:19,200 --> 01:58:23,440
Speaker 3: a lot, but if he is not broken, he could

2331
01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:26,280
Speaker 3: make a strong case for himself this offseason and be

2332
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:28,880
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback for the San Francisco forty nine ers.

2333
01:58:29,120 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 3: And good on John Lynch and good on Kyle Shanahan

2334
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 3: for bringing him in because I'm not counting on lightning

2335
01:58:35,680 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 3: striking twice with Brock Purdy. There's a lot of people

2336
01:58:37,840 --> 01:58:41,360
Speaker 3: are believers. I'm not so certain that I am. I

2337
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:43,680
Speaker 3: think that defensive coordinators are going to have time this

2338
01:58:43,720 --> 01:58:46,560
Speaker 3: offseason to see where his limitations are and if they

2339
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 3: have talented enough defense to exploit what the forty nine

2340
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 3: ers do offensively, there could be in roads where you

2341
01:58:54,400 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 3: can attack this guy. And also, we have no idea

2342
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:57,720
Speaker 3: what he's going to be like on the other side

2343
01:58:57,960 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 3: of a serious elbow injury.

2344
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 2: If Rock Party in that short amount of time can

2345
01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:11,840
Speaker 2: execute the Kyle Shanahan offense to the efficiency that he did, Yeah,

2346
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:14,360
Speaker 2: I got it again. Why did they Why did they

2347
01:59:14,480 --> 01:59:18,360
Speaker 2: draft Trey Lance. They drafted Trey Lance because they thought

2348
01:59:18,360 --> 01:59:22,360
Speaker 2: he had the athleticism to take Kyle Shanahan's offense to

2349
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:25,480
Speaker 2: a different level than Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, that was the idea,

2350
01:59:25,520 --> 01:59:28,560
Speaker 2: all right, So we can get this far with Jimmy Garoppolo,

2351
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:32,080
Speaker 2: but if we get a more physically talented quarterback, we

2352
01:59:32,080 --> 01:59:34,280
Speaker 2: can take it at another level. It hasn't worked out.

2353
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:37,160
Speaker 2: I just again, if they could do what they did

2354
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 2: with brock Perty last year, I can't even imagine what

2355
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:43,840
Speaker 2: they could do with Sam Darnold. So it's interesting to

2356
01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:46,200
Speaker 2: me that the forty nine ers really didn't do a

2357
01:59:46,240 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 2: whole lot in this draft. They picked a tight end

2358
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 2: like you got Kittle. I mean, it's not exactly a

2359
01:59:53,080 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 2: need position.

2360
01:59:54,000 --> 01:59:56,560
Speaker 3: They clearly trust that they have all they need at

2361
01:59:56,560 --> 01:59:57,840
Speaker 3: the quarterback position.

2362
01:59:57,800 --> 01:59:59,960
Speaker 2: Right, apparently pretty much across the board.

2363
02:00:00,120 --> 02:00:02,040
Speaker 3: And then and then the other thing you got you

2364
02:00:02,040 --> 02:00:05,240
Speaker 3: gotta think about is will they look back on this draft,

2365
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:07,840
Speaker 3: like you said, taking a kicker with their first pick

2366
02:00:08,160 --> 02:00:11,000
Speaker 3: and think to themselves, Oops, we'll find out. But that

2367
02:00:11,160 --> 02:00:13,680
Speaker 3: was too cute for me. Taking a kicker in the

2368
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:14,440
Speaker 3: third round.

2369
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't care who it is. Your second pick,

2370
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:22,280
Speaker 2: that was. I mean, I mean that is what you say.

2371
02:00:22,640 --> 02:00:25,800
Speaker 2: You know what, we really don't need anything, so hey,

2372
02:00:25,840 --> 02:00:28,600
Speaker 2: that guy's a really good kicker. Kind of wild. All right,

2373
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,640
Speaker 2: We got this game going on between Sacramento and Golden State,

2374
02:00:31,720 --> 02:00:33,400
Speaker 2: which one of these two teams will be a better

2375
02:00:33,440 --> 02:00:37,360
Speaker 2: matchup for the Lakers. This is Fox Sports Sunday. We

2376
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:41,520
Speaker 2: are tuned into Game seven between the Warriors and the Kings.

2377
02:00:41,600 --> 02:00:45,400
Speaker 2: Golden State has taken a five point lead as we

2378
02:00:45,480 --> 02:00:47,480
Speaker 2: are heading toward the end of the first quarter. In

2379
02:00:47,520 --> 02:00:50,120
Speaker 2: this game, we're broadcasting live from the tire rack dot

2380
02:00:50,160 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 2: Com studios. Ty rack dot com. We're gonna help get

2383
02:00:59,800 --> 02:01:05,200
Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. So again, Sacramento

2384
02:01:05,520 --> 02:01:09,640
Speaker 2: fans going wild, no question about that. But I hesitated

2385
02:01:09,680 --> 02:01:14,720
Speaker 2: to go against Golden State. Now, what's what's going to

2386
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,200
Speaker 2: be interesting in this game is the obvious, and that

2387
02:01:17,320 --> 02:01:21,240
Speaker 2: is the younger, fresher legs of the Kings. As this

2388
02:01:21,320 --> 02:01:24,840
Speaker 2: game progresses, and then it just comes down to can

2389
02:01:24,880 --> 02:01:28,360
Speaker 2: the Warriors will themselves figure out a way As many

2390
02:01:28,440 --> 02:01:32,680
Speaker 2: veteran teams do to just find a way to win

2391
02:01:32,720 --> 02:01:36,520
Speaker 2: the fact they already won one game on the road

2392
02:01:36,600 --> 02:01:39,360
Speaker 2: to have to do it again is a tall order.

2393
02:01:39,440 --> 02:01:42,680
Speaker 2: But these are still the Golden State Warriors.

2394
02:01:42,800 --> 02:01:46,440
Speaker 3: I just I just looked at that game six and

2395
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,120
Speaker 3: I saw a tired team. I mean that was that

2396
02:01:50,160 --> 02:01:53,520
Speaker 3: was a pounding and I understand it. Like all it

2397
02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:57,360
Speaker 3: takes is, like we discussed earlier in the show, Curry

2398
02:01:57,520 --> 02:02:01,280
Speaker 3: or Clay to have one of those fire flamethrower knights

2399
02:02:01,280 --> 02:02:03,839
Speaker 3: from beyond the arc and it changes everything in an instant.

2400
02:02:03,840 --> 02:02:06,840
Speaker 3: We know how the three pointer has redesigned how we

2401
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:08,160
Speaker 3: watch NBA basketball.

2402
02:02:08,200 --> 02:02:10,040
Speaker 2: Ten point leads are nothing anymore.

2403
02:02:10,440 --> 02:02:13,960
Speaker 3: I mean ten points leads can evaporate in three possessions

2404
02:02:14,000 --> 02:02:18,240
Speaker 3: and routinely do. I mean twelve point leads, fifteen point leads.

2405
02:02:18,280 --> 02:02:20,880
Speaker 3: They just aren't what they used to be. So the

2406
02:02:20,920 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 3: Golden State Warriors are the type of team that if

2407
02:02:23,600 --> 02:02:26,440
Speaker 3: their backs are up against the wall, they're never really

2408
02:02:26,520 --> 02:02:29,720
Speaker 3: out of it unless you're leading them by thirty. But

2409
02:02:30,200 --> 02:02:34,160
Speaker 3: I just don't see the fire igniting for them, especially

2410
02:02:34,680 --> 02:02:38,520
Speaker 3: in a road playoff environment like this. I sooner could

2411
02:02:38,600 --> 02:02:41,840
Speaker 3: see the Sacramento Kings making the errors that lead them

2412
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:44,680
Speaker 3: to losing Game seven than the Golden State Warriors out

2413
02:02:44,720 --> 02:02:47,120
Speaker 3: playing them so much, like if they turn the ball

2414
02:02:47,160 --> 02:02:49,160
Speaker 3: over a lot, if they get into foul trouble. Like

2415
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:52,240
Speaker 3: that's where I see the Kings losing the game as

2416
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:57,160
Speaker 3: opposed to Warriors absolutely dominating them in really any facet

2417
02:02:57,200 --> 02:03:01,560
Speaker 3: Because again, this could have been over already and it's

2418
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:02,680
Speaker 3: not well.

2419
02:03:02,760 --> 02:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Coaches, and we can see the fact that coaches don't

2420
02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 2: always weigh in as a huge factor in the series.

2421
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:10,320
Speaker 2: But the fact that Mike Brown, after is one with

2422
02:03:10,360 --> 02:03:13,440
Speaker 2: the Cavaliers and the Lakers, spent most of his coaching

2423
02:03:13,480 --> 02:03:16,360
Speaker 2: career on the bench with Warriors, so he certainly knows

2424
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:19,520
Speaker 2: this Warriors team. Look, here's the thing about the Warriors.

2425
02:03:19,600 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 2: When you have a Steph Curry, when you have a

2426
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:24,520
Speaker 2: Klay Thompson, even at this stage of their careers, they're

2427
02:03:24,560 --> 02:03:27,000
Speaker 2: still capable when we've still seen it where they can

2428
02:03:27,080 --> 02:03:30,400
Speaker 2: just suddenly catch fire. Yeah, and they can be five

2429
02:03:30,480 --> 02:03:31,640
Speaker 2: or six threes just like that.

2430
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 3: It's like fourth quarter, Clay, you know, I mean, it's

2431
02:03:34,280 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 3: been it's been a thing in the postseason before.

2432
02:03:38,000 --> 02:03:43,000
Speaker 2: It's just it's just I mean, how many fourth quarters

2433
02:03:43,480 --> 02:03:44,480
Speaker 2: does he have left?

2434
02:03:44,680 --> 02:03:47,160
Speaker 3: I mean, does he have any like, here's the reality

2435
02:03:47,200 --> 02:03:52,680
Speaker 3: of the circumstance. Last year, to your point, it was.

2436
02:03:53,040 --> 02:03:54,880
Speaker 2: A miracle run for the Warriors.

2437
02:03:55,000 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 3: Everything fell into the right place at the right time,

2438
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:02,800
Speaker 3: and it just felt like an invisible hand. I remember

2439
02:04:02,800 --> 02:04:04,880
Speaker 3: saying this during that but we talked about it. It

2440
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:07,200
Speaker 3: just sort of felt like there was an invisible hand

2441
02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:08,800
Speaker 3: guiding them through.

2442
02:04:09,560 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 2: I just don't see that this year. It doesn't feel.

2443
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 3: It almost in a way, it sort of feels like

2444
02:04:16,400 --> 02:04:20,400
Speaker 3: it's Sacramento's time. Like, you know, we saw a dominant

2445
02:04:20,440 --> 02:04:22,760
Speaker 3: team come out of nowhere in the West in the

2446
02:04:22,880 --> 02:04:25,040
Speaker 3: very recent past. Well, if we want to call the

2447
02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:28,200
Speaker 3: last decade the very recent pass in the Warriors, they

2448
02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:33,280
Speaker 3: were dog meat and they completely changed their fates by

2449
02:04:33,400 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 3: drafting well and getting the right coach.

2450
02:04:36,200 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Look at the Kings, it.

2451
02:04:37,600 --> 02:04:40,120
Speaker 3: Sort of feels like they're set up to potentially be

2452
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:41,120
Speaker 3: the next Warriors.

2453
02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:42,200
Speaker 10: Have we been.

2454
02:04:42,120 --> 02:04:45,320
Speaker 2: Remiss in ignoring the XFL playoffs?

2455
02:04:45,520 --> 02:04:48,000
Speaker 3: I'm so glad you brought this up because we are

2456
02:04:48,120 --> 02:04:51,960
Speaker 3: just minutes away from halftime and the Seattle Sea Dragons

2457
02:04:51,960 --> 02:04:54,560
Speaker 3: have a lead on the the.

2458
02:04:54,640 --> 02:05:01,240
Speaker 2: DC Commanders, Controllers, defunct unders what are they there?

2459
02:05:01,280 --> 02:05:01,520
Speaker 10: Are?

2460

Speaker 2: Actually are those real people in the stands, the DC Destroyers. Bo,

2461
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 2: can we look it up? Who knows? What are the

2462
02:05:09,400 --> 02:05:10,160
Speaker 2: names of these teams?

2463
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:10,840
Speaker 4: Flag right now?

2464
02:05:11,200 --> 02:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Are you watching this playoff game here in the XFL?

2465
02:05:14,160 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 2: Or what's going on here? By the way, I got

2466
02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:19,000
Speaker 2: the Seattle They are the Sea Dragons Seed Dragons, So

2467
02:05:19,280 --> 02:05:20,080
Speaker 2: good for you.

2468
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:23,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're the DC Defenders. They are the DC they

2469
02:05:23,600 --> 02:05:27,440
Speaker 10: were defundings. No, Sam, Sam put it on for some reason.

2470
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, well we'll say it's a spirited Are they

2471
02:05:31,440 --> 02:05:35,040
Speaker 2: still playing the entire season in one stadium like they did?

2472
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:38,080
Speaker 2: You're sure they're in Alabama? Still, right? It's is that

2473
02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 2: still the same situation? I'm not sure?

2474
02:05:40,160 --> 02:05:42,600
Speaker 10: I know, Like the XFL or no, the USFL, they're

2475
02:05:42,680 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 10: using like a hub. They're using hub cities, where like

2476
02:05:44,800 --> 02:05:46,280
Speaker 10: two teams playing one stadium.

2477
02:05:46,280 --> 02:05:48,600
Speaker 2: But the XFL last year played all their games in

2478
02:05:48,680 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 2: one stadium.

2479
02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:52,520
Speaker 3: I think it was in Alabama and they played it

2480
02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:54,520
Speaker 3: was it was all in Birmingham. They were all staying

2481
02:05:54,520 --> 02:05:57,520
Speaker 3: in the same hotel. Yeah, multiple stadiums though they weren't

2482
02:05:57,560 --> 02:05:58,960
Speaker 3: just at one place. They kind of bound them.

2483
02:05:59,160 --> 02:06:02,360
Speaker 2: They had teams with the city names where they actually

2484
02:06:02,400 --> 02:06:03,600
Speaker 2: didn't play yeah.

2485
02:06:03,320 --> 02:06:10,800
Speaker 3: Like the Pittsburgh Scarecrows and the oh the Worcester you know.

2486
02:06:11,600 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 2: The Four Letter loves to promoting this league obviously because

2487
02:06:14,880 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 2: they carry their games. Yeah. I mean they're they're running

2488
02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:20,680
Speaker 2: headline stories and they're like, what what is this?

2489
02:06:22,920 --> 02:06:25,640
Speaker 3: I will say this, I I worked for Spring League

2490
02:06:25,640 --> 02:06:29,040
Speaker 3: Professional Football, the Alliance of American Football right and still

2491
02:06:29,080 --> 02:06:29,560
Speaker 3: to this.

2492
02:06:29,480 --> 02:06:31,560
Speaker 2: Day in the broadcast Hall of Fame for the Alliance

2493
02:06:31,600 --> 02:06:33,320
Speaker 2: of American Football. Thank you for bringing that up. I

2494
02:06:33,400 --> 02:06:36,240
Speaker 2: was not going to. But while while we're at it,

2495
02:06:36,280 --> 02:06:37,280
Speaker 2: I mean I was the.

2496
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:40,160
Speaker 4: First entrant, which feels good. I was with you that

2497
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:42,680
Speaker 4: entire They gave me a microphone.

2498
02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:45,160
Speaker 2: Dude. It was unbelievable. I was that last trip. You

2499
02:06:45,160 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 2: weren't actually sure if you were going or weren't going.

2500
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:50,040
Speaker 3: I didn't well, first of all, I didn't know if

2501
02:06:50,200 --> 02:06:52,720
Speaker 3: I was going or not going. And then the whole

2502
02:06:52,800 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 3: league shut down. That game between the San Diego Fleet

2503
02:06:56,560 --> 02:06:59,440
Speaker 3: and the Salt Lake City Strangers. I don't know what

2504
02:06:59,440 --> 02:07:02,720
Speaker 3: they of That team was, the ice Hawks, whatever they were,

2505
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:06,280
Speaker 3: we weren't sure if we were getting home. I thought

2506
02:07:06,320 --> 02:07:07,760
Speaker 3: it was suck in Salt Lake. I thought I was

2507
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:08,360
Speaker 3: buying my ticket.

2508
02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:08,520
Speaker 2: Home.

2509
02:07:08,640 --> 02:07:11,640
Speaker 3: Anyways, that league completely went upside down. They played a

2510
02:07:11,800 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 3: game road for all the games, though no I missed one.

2511
02:07:14,480 --> 02:07:16,080
Speaker 2: Game one game. Take it in.

2512
02:07:16,400 --> 02:07:20,080
Speaker 3: But here's the reality of this is I still will

2513
02:07:20,200 --> 02:07:22,680
Speaker 3: occasionally bring up to people that I worked for the

2514
02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,040
Speaker 3: Alliance of American Football and they'll be like, what the

2515
02:07:25,080 --> 02:07:26,320
Speaker 3: hell is that they've.

2516
02:07:26,080 --> 02:07:27,800
Speaker 2: Never even heard of the fact that we have both

2517
02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:30,680
Speaker 2: an XFL and USFL going on right now.

2518
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:33,360
Speaker 3: And it's funny that you mentioned that because somebody at

2519
02:07:33,360 --> 02:07:36,600
Speaker 3: a wedding I recently went to, which, by the way,

2520
02:07:36,760 --> 02:07:39,400
Speaker 3: I love dancing. At a wedding, they had this line

2521
02:07:39,480 --> 02:07:42,839
Speaker 3: dancing coordinator. It was like that a kind of country

2522
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 3: like a country western band play on the floor at

2523
02:07:45,760 --> 02:07:49,080
Speaker 3: one point, and dude, I still got it. Anyways, the

2524
02:07:49,120 --> 02:07:51,839
Speaker 3: pointer I was like the Montecito cowboy out there. Anyways,

2525
02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:54,600
Speaker 3: the point I'm trying to make is somebody was asking me, like,

2526
02:07:54,680 --> 02:07:57,920
Speaker 3: you know, why am I seeing so much college football on?

2527
02:07:58,680 --> 02:08:02,320
Speaker 3: You know, obviously completely unattached to the sports world. They're

2528
02:08:02,360 --> 02:08:03,920
Speaker 3: like it was and I didn't know what they were

2529
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:06,680
Speaker 3: talking about. I'm like, what is this person talking about?

2530
02:08:06,840 --> 02:08:09,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm sure you were seeing highlights and they're

2531
02:08:09,160 --> 02:08:11,480
Speaker 3: like no, no, no, And then they started naming teams

2532
02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:13,440
Speaker 3: and I looked it up and I'm like, oh, I'll

2533
02:08:13,440 --> 02:08:15,200
Speaker 3: be damned, they're talking about the XFL.

2534
02:08:15,240 --> 02:08:16,280
Speaker 2: That's what they're talking about.

2535
02:08:16,480 --> 02:08:19,040
Speaker 3: And so we had this short chat about what exactly

2536
02:08:19,080 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 3: the XFL was, and the person who was talking about like,

2537
02:08:22,120 --> 02:08:25,080
Speaker 3: I would never watch that, Like that was their reaction

2538
02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:25,600
Speaker 3: to it.

2539
02:08:25,560 --> 02:08:28,240
Speaker 2: Without even knowing sports. Look, here's my deal. What are

2540
02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:33,760
Speaker 2: the chances of any current XFL or any current USFL

2541
02:08:34,160 --> 02:08:38,840
Speaker 2: player making it to the NFL. It's happened before. I mean,

2542
02:08:38,880 --> 02:08:41,320
Speaker 2: but the what are we talking one out of a thousand?

2543
02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:44,840
Speaker 3: Oh you mean okay, yeah, the odds aren't great, right, Like,

2544
02:08:44,920 --> 02:08:46,400
Speaker 3: but they'll sign a bunch of people.

2545
02:08:46,400 --> 02:08:48,640
Speaker 2: We just had an NFL draft, and we just had

2546
02:08:48,720 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of players sign as rookie free agents

2547
02:08:52,400 --> 02:08:55,760
Speaker 2: after the draft. And then you add these guys there's

2548
02:08:55,800 --> 02:08:56,880
Speaker 2: a lot of football players.

2549
02:08:56,880 --> 02:08:59,720
Speaker 3: Say there's six teams and say, there's I don't know,

2550
02:08:59,800 --> 02:09:02,280
Speaker 3: fit fifty on each team. Right, so we're talking about

2551
02:09:02,280 --> 02:09:04,800
Speaker 3: three hundred guys, Like, again, it could be more than that.

2552
02:09:04,840 --> 02:09:07,520
Speaker 3: Maybe there's eight teams, and maybe there's more than fifty,

2553
02:09:07,560 --> 02:09:11,280
Speaker 3: But even then that's four hundred guys who they could.

2554
02:09:11,080 --> 02:09:12,320
Speaker 2: Potentially bring into the league.

2555
02:09:12,840 --> 02:09:16,920
Speaker 3: I would say, you've got probably to actually make an

2556
02:09:16,920 --> 02:09:20,880
Speaker 3: active roster in the NFL, probably a ten to four

2557
02:09:20,960 --> 02:09:23,560
Speaker 3: hundred chance to be one of those guys who make

2558
02:09:23,600 --> 02:09:24,520
Speaker 3: an active ross.

2559
02:09:24,320 --> 02:09:26,720
Speaker 2: To ask you this, because you obviously played in the NFL,

2560
02:09:26,840 --> 02:09:29,240
Speaker 2: all right, so less than one percent. We know that

2561
02:09:29,400 --> 02:09:32,720
Speaker 2: playing football for an extended period can do tremendous damage

2562
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:37,640
Speaker 2: to you correzically. Yes, these guys are getting paid next

2563
02:09:37,680 --> 02:09:42,760
Speaker 2: to nothing, not that much, very minimal wages to harbor

2564
02:09:42,840 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 2: this dream of one day getting an NFL paycheck, which

2565
02:09:46,560 --> 02:09:51,120
Speaker 2: even at a minimum level is substantial. You really have

2566
02:09:51,200 --> 02:09:54,040
Speaker 2: to love this game to keep this thing going, don't you. Yeah.

2567
02:09:54,080 --> 02:09:56,800
Speaker 3: Well, and I will say this, there are talented players

2568
02:09:56,800 --> 02:09:59,000
Speaker 3: who will play in the league. Whether it's because they

2569
02:09:59,040 --> 02:10:01,839
Speaker 3: got in troustle in the I should say, the USFL,

2570
02:10:01,920 --> 02:10:04,840
Speaker 3: the XFL because they got in trouble at the NFL level,

2571
02:10:05,640 --> 02:10:07,960
Speaker 3: or they got in trouble at the college level. Or

2572
02:10:08,000 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 3: they were talented but maybe played in in a division

2573
02:10:12,640 --> 02:10:15,720
Speaker 3: or a conference that lacked so much competition they couldn't

2574
02:10:15,720 --> 02:10:19,000
Speaker 3: shine amongst their peers. And this gives them that opportunity

2575
02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:22,200
Speaker 3: and like I said, for the one percent that will

2576
02:10:22,240 --> 02:10:24,440
Speaker 3: sign to an active roster, because I'm pretty sure it's

2577
02:10:24,880 --> 02:10:27,400
Speaker 3: something like that one percent of these leagues that will

2578
02:10:27,440 --> 02:10:30,320
Speaker 3: sign to an active roster, you could potentially find a

2579
02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,800
Speaker 3: diamond in the rough. Look, it happened with Kurt Warner

2580
02:10:32,840 --> 02:10:36,760
Speaker 3: out of the Arena Football League. It happens there are guys,

2581
02:10:37,360 --> 02:10:40,000
Speaker 3: I mean, who was the recent I'm blanking on his name.

2582
02:10:40,160 --> 02:10:42,440
Speaker 2: It's because of the Kurt Warners of the world that

2583
02:10:42,520 --> 02:10:46,440
Speaker 2: everyone hangs on to that. I mean, he played three

2584
02:10:46,560 --> 02:10:49,240
Speaker 2: years of Arena football. Oh yeah, Iowa.

2585
02:10:49,440 --> 02:10:53,440
Speaker 3: No, he's bagging groceries. Everybody knows the story. But American underdog.

2586
02:10:53,560 --> 02:10:55,240
Speaker 2: Okay, there's a reason why he's in the Hall of

2587
02:10:55,240 --> 02:10:58,240
Speaker 2: Fame because those that's a one in a million. Okay,

2588
02:10:58,280 --> 02:11:01,360
Speaker 2: that's that's not a one in fifth, one hundred. To

2589
02:11:01,360 --> 02:11:03,520
Speaker 2: answer your question, one in a million. You gotta love it,

2590
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 2: ye oh, gotta love These guys are really going after

2591
02:11:06,600 --> 02:11:11,240
Speaker 2: it all right on the other side. My pick for

2592
02:11:11,360 --> 02:11:16,600
Speaker 2: the strangest single draft choice in this year's NFL draft.

2593
02:11:16,680 --> 02:11:21,120
Speaker 2: My pick for the strangest draft choice in this year's draft.

2594
02:11:21,400 --> 02:11:24,840
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Arbin and Rich Arberg

2595
02:11:25,040 --> 02:11:28,360
Speaker 2: here on Fox Sports Sunday. We're live from the Tyraq

2596
02:11:28,680 --> 02:11:33,480

2597
02:11:33,600 --> 02:11:37,280
Speaker 2: thirty two, back and forth game, eleven minutes to go

2598
02:11:37,400 --> 02:11:40,160
Speaker 2: in the half there, so both teams playing pretty good

2599
02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:43,120
Speaker 2: basketball in this game seven the winner. Of course, we'll

2600

Speaker 2: go on to take on the Los Angeles Lakers in

2601
02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 2: a Western Conference semi finals series. So we've been talking

2602
02:11:51,360 --> 02:11:54,800
Speaker 2: some NBA today. We talked a little MLB earlier to

2603
02:11:55,040 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 2: John Palm Morosi. By the way, watching the Dodgers. They're

2604
02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:01,200
Speaker 2: hosting the Cardinals right now. Yeah, I went to a

2605
02:12:01,280 --> 02:12:03,640
Speaker 2: Dodger game a couple of weeks ago. It was a

2606
02:12:03,720 --> 02:12:07,360
Speaker 2: day game on a Wednesday, right, and predictably there were

2607
02:12:07,360 --> 02:12:08,400
Speaker 2: a lot of empty seats.

2608
02:12:09,240 --> 02:12:10,680
Speaker 4: You wouldn't think on a day.

2609
02:12:10,600 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 2: Like today in LA there would be empty seats at

2610
02:12:13,560 --> 02:12:17,560
Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium on a Sunday day game. There are a

2611
02:12:17,600 --> 02:12:19,760
Speaker 2: lot of empty seats at Dodger Stadium on a Sunday

2612
02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:20,240
Speaker 2: day game.

2613
02:12:20,520 --> 02:12:24,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty remarkable. When you look around Major League

2614
02:12:24,720 --> 02:12:28,440
Speaker 3: Baseball now, there are definitely certain cities that are on fire,

2615
02:12:28,520 --> 02:12:30,800
Speaker 3: San Diego being one of them in terms of interest

2616
02:12:31,520 --> 02:12:33,600
Speaker 3: in their team because of the amount of money they

2617
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:36,440
Speaker 3: spent recently. I'm sure Pittsburgh starting to fill up PNC

2618
02:12:36,680 --> 02:12:41,160
Speaker 3: Park with their record this season, and they just what's

2619
02:12:41,200 --> 02:12:43,600
Speaker 3: his name their third basement, just gave him an extension.

2620
02:12:44,200 --> 02:12:47,440
Speaker 3: You know, you think about you think about the Dodgers though,

2621
02:12:47,600 --> 02:12:50,600
Speaker 3: what they've been and what they've done over the past

2622
02:12:50,920 --> 02:12:54,280
Speaker 3: two decades. All they've done is spend money and bring

2623
02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:57,600
Speaker 3: up guys from their farm system to supplant the major

2624
02:12:57,680 --> 02:13:00,000
Speaker 3: league talent they have. They didn't do that this year.

2625
02:13:00,360 --> 02:13:03,120
Speaker 3: They virtually spent zero money. And don't get me wrong,

2626
02:13:03,240 --> 02:13:05,880
Speaker 3: we're going to see some of the youth of this

2627
02:13:05,880 --> 02:13:09,760
Speaker 3: this farm system get some work here. But it was

2628
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:13,120
Speaker 3: a very ho hum offseason and I think LA fans

2629
02:13:13,600 --> 02:13:16,760
Speaker 3: have gotten very used to the brand new toy What

2630
02:13:16,800 --> 02:13:19,280
Speaker 3: are we opening this year under the tree? They didn't

2631
02:13:19,280 --> 02:13:22,080
Speaker 3: get anything last this offseason, so it sort of felt like,

2632
02:13:22,400 --> 02:13:25,200
Speaker 3: are we just going to wave the white flag this

2633
02:13:25,320 --> 02:13:27,400
Speaker 3: year and wait for show Hey Otani to be a

2634
02:13:27,440 --> 02:13:27,880
Speaker 3: free agent.

2635
02:13:27,960 --> 02:13:34,520
Speaker 2: They did break up Noah Sindergarten, so you pick up Okay, yeah,

2636
02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:35,800
Speaker 2: it is about six and a half.

2637
02:13:36,080 --> 02:13:38,920
Speaker 3: I were sure it's the thor in the Marvel movies.

2638
02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:41,000
Speaker 3: Where he's drinking a lot of beer and he's back

2639
02:13:41,040 --> 02:13:42,200
Speaker 3: in Iceland.

2640
02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:44,560
Speaker 2: All right, I want to give you my choice for

2641
02:13:44,680 --> 02:13:50,480
Speaker 2: the most bizarre single draft choice in this year's NFL drumming.

2642
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:52,680
Speaker 2: There was a lot that he gets a question, but

2643
02:13:52,760 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 2: this one sort of just I'm trying to figure out why, okay.

2644
02:13:57,000 --> 02:13:59,960
Speaker 2: And that was the Los Angeles Rams fourth round draft

2645
02:14:00,040 --> 02:14:03,400
Speaker 2: pick Stetson Bennett. All right, all right, So Bennett was

2646
02:14:03,560 --> 02:14:07,840
Speaker 2: on most boards either going to be a late draft

2647
02:14:07,840 --> 02:14:10,360
Speaker 2: pick like six or seventh round, or just free agent.

2648
02:14:11,080 --> 02:14:13,480
Speaker 2: There's a reason for that, a couple of reasons. One,

2649
02:14:13,600 --> 02:14:16,760
Speaker 2: he turns twenty six in October. Yeah, I mean he

2650
02:14:16,840 --> 02:14:20,480
Speaker 2: played at Georgia four hundred years he did, and yes

2651
02:14:20,520 --> 02:14:23,360
Speaker 2: he did went back to back national Championshays. But dare

2652
02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:25,960
Speaker 2: I say he was surrounded by a little talent on

2653
02:14:26,040 --> 02:14:29,040
Speaker 2: the oh A Georgia. Yeah, he had help. Okay, so

2654
02:14:29,040 --> 02:14:31,720
Speaker 2: I had a little help around him. We also had

2655
02:14:31,760 --> 02:14:35,320
Speaker 2: this off season incident, you know, where he was sort

2656
02:14:35,320 --> 02:14:39,080
Speaker 2: of out of intoxicated and is wandering around and you know,

2657
02:14:39,280 --> 02:14:41,400
Speaker 2: and then he went off on the cops on about

2658
02:14:41,480 --> 02:14:46,040
Speaker 2: you know what, you're ruining my life whatever. Stetson Bennett,

2659
02:14:46,320 --> 02:14:48,360
Speaker 2: by the way just has. One of the great quotes

2660
02:14:48,920 --> 02:14:52,240
Speaker 2: was talking about Sean McVay. He says, I hear he's

2661
02:14:52,240 --> 02:14:56,560
Speaker 2: a genius. Now that's a pretty bold statement from a

2662
02:14:56,920 --> 02:15:01,120
Speaker 2: fourth round draft pick talking about a super winning coach

2663
02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:05,600
Speaker 2: and almost in mox and yeah, here he's a genius. Well, okay,

2664
02:15:05,680 --> 02:15:08,680
Speaker 2: I try to because you and I have talked about

2665
02:15:08,720 --> 02:15:13,160
Speaker 2: this Rams twenty twenty two free fall, coming off a

2666
02:15:13,280 --> 02:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Super Bowl championship, a lot of injuries, obviously, guys underperforming,

2667
02:15:19,120 --> 02:15:22,760
Speaker 2: and you pretty much maintained don't be surprised that the

2668
02:15:22,840 --> 02:15:25,840
Speaker 2: Rams bounce back, maybe not all the way to super

2669
02:15:25,840 --> 02:15:29,320
Speaker 2: Bowl status, but at least Playoff contention in twenty twenty three.

2670
02:15:30,600 --> 02:15:32,040
Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure this pick out.

2671
02:15:32,240 --> 02:15:36,320
Speaker 2: I mean, there were so many quarterbacks available in this draft,

2672
02:15:36,880 --> 02:15:39,400
Speaker 2: and if you're just lying them up in terms of

2673
02:15:39,520 --> 02:15:42,800
Speaker 2: talent and everything else, Remember the reason that they got

2674
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:46,720
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is they felt like he had more tools

2675
02:15:46,760 --> 02:15:50,120
Speaker 2: to work with than Jared Goff correct, and that's why

2676
02:15:50,120 --> 02:15:52,320
Speaker 2: they made the deal. I'm trying to figure out why

2677
02:15:52,880 --> 02:15:58,000
Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett, and I mean, it just it doesn't fit.

2678
02:15:58,480 --> 02:16:01,480
Speaker 2: And I understand a lot of games at Georgia, but

2679
02:16:01,960 --> 02:16:04,320
Speaker 2: I dare say there were probably other quarterbacks that win

2680
02:16:04,400 --> 02:16:07,400
Speaker 2: this draft, had they been afforded the same opportunity at Georgia,

2681
02:16:07,600 --> 02:16:11,200
Speaker 2: could have won as many games. Is this guy a

2682
02:16:11,240 --> 02:16:14,080
Speaker 2: guy they're developing as a quarterback of the future. Are

2683
02:16:14,120 --> 02:16:16,160
Speaker 2: they looking at him as a solid back of the

2684
02:16:16,240 --> 02:16:20,160
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford? Are they pushing the panic button right now? Maybe?

2685
02:16:20,280 --> 02:16:25,240
Speaker 2: I mean, Stafford's gonna make something like almost fifty Why

2686
02:16:25,280 --> 02:16:27,839
Speaker 2: would they make this pick and the fourth round.

2687
02:16:27,720 --> 02:16:31,000
Speaker 3: Fourth rounders, I think they're signing bonuses or something under

2688
02:16:31,000 --> 02:16:31,560
Speaker 3: a million ball.

2689
02:16:31,720 --> 02:16:34,280
Speaker 2: You could have gotten Max Duggan in the seventh round.

2690
02:16:34,400 --> 02:16:39,440
Speaker 3: I understand. I'm just saying Max dugg In and Stetson Bennett.

2691
02:16:39,440 --> 02:16:41,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't like other teams were looking at Stetson Bennett.

2692
02:16:42,000 --> 02:16:44,280
Speaker 3: It's like, oh yeah, no, no, no, I'm not gonna

2693
02:16:44,320 --> 02:16:47,160
Speaker 3: make an argument that he has this insane skill set

2694
02:16:47,160 --> 02:16:49,920
Speaker 3: and they got him at such a value.

2695
02:16:49,680 --> 02:16:52,560
Speaker 4: Because don't they need offensive line because of the off.

2696
02:16:52,400 --> 02:16:53,320
Speaker 2: The off the field stuff.

2697
02:16:53,320 --> 02:16:55,680
Speaker 3: No, and yeah, you could spend that value in the

2698
02:16:55,680 --> 02:16:58,000
Speaker 3: fourth round at other places where they need more help.

2699
02:16:58,040 --> 02:17:00,120
Speaker 3: And they again the round did you go in? I

2700
02:17:00,160 --> 02:17:02,720
Speaker 3: went in the fourth round? Yes he did, But they

2701
02:17:02,760 --> 02:17:06,840
Speaker 3: did spend a Their first pick was on an offensive lineman. Yes,

2702
02:17:07,760 --> 02:17:10,680
Speaker 3: so you think about it from a need based draft,

2703
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:14,840
Speaker 3: Do they need a competent backup for Matthew Stafford, I'd argue, Yeah,

2704
02:17:15,200 --> 02:17:18,480
Speaker 3: could Stetson Bennett be that guy? I could also make

2705
02:17:18,520 --> 02:17:20,320
Speaker 3: an argument yeah.

2706
02:17:20,520 --> 02:17:22,440
Speaker 4: Okay Wolford. Still, what's a guy's name?

2707
02:17:22,720 --> 02:17:23,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

2708
02:17:23,360 --> 02:17:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a couple. I mean like kind of

2709
02:17:25,400 --> 02:17:28,080
Speaker 3: known it. But that's my point. This guy comes from

2710
02:17:28,160 --> 02:17:31,800
Speaker 3: a program that and has a pedigree. Whether you liked

2711
02:17:31,840 --> 02:17:33,879
Speaker 3: what you saw on film with the interaction with the

2712
02:17:33,879 --> 02:17:38,680
Speaker 3: police officers, which I'm sure you don't, this guy's got

2713
02:17:38,720 --> 02:17:41,800
Speaker 3: a lot on film that would lead you to believe

2714
02:17:41,840 --> 02:17:43,680
Speaker 3: he knows how to handle the moment.

2715
02:17:44,160 --> 02:17:45,120
Speaker 2: Right the Rams.

2716
02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:48,760
Speaker 3: The Rams are in a situation where are they rebuilding?

2717
02:17:48,879 --> 02:17:52,400
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think they're trying to match

2718
02:17:52,440 --> 02:17:55,000
Speaker 3: what they did two years ago in this upcoming season

2719
02:17:55,040 --> 02:17:58,680
Speaker 3: after going through a harrowing affair with injuries upfront on

2720
02:17:58,680 --> 02:18:03,400
Speaker 3: the offensive line, having huge injuries to huge playmakers like

2721
02:18:03,480 --> 02:18:06,440
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup and Aaron Donald last season. So if guys

2722
02:18:06,480 --> 02:18:09,480
Speaker 3: remain healthy, which you always have to assume health, and

2723
02:18:09,520 --> 02:18:11,920
Speaker 3: they improve this offensive line, which a lot of guys

2724
02:18:11,920 --> 02:18:14,200
Speaker 3: got playing time last year, so it should be better

2725
02:18:14,240 --> 02:18:17,480
Speaker 3: this year. Almost by default, it should be better this year.

2726
02:18:17,720 --> 02:18:21,080
Speaker 3: And then they added in the draft. Yeah, if Matthew

2727
02:18:21,120 --> 02:18:24,080
Speaker 3: Stafford at any point goes down, you need to trust

2728
02:18:24,520 --> 02:18:26,920
Speaker 3: that somebody can fill in. And I assume that's what

2729
02:18:26,959 --> 02:18:29,199
Speaker 3: they're gonna do. They're gonna groom him as a backup

2730
02:18:29,240 --> 02:18:31,720
Speaker 3: for now, and if there's any added value in getting

2731
02:18:31,760 --> 02:18:34,280
Speaker 3: him some game time and seeing what they have in

2732
02:18:34,360 --> 02:18:36,600
Speaker 3: him at some point this season, all the better.

2733
02:18:37,879 --> 02:18:40,800
Speaker 2: He just doesn't seem like a Sean McVay quarterback to me,

2734
02:18:41,160 --> 02:18:46,520
Speaker 2: Well why not? His physical stature. Look how far they

2735
02:18:46,520 --> 02:18:51,320
Speaker 2: went with Jared Goff. Look, Jacked Goff is a You

2736
02:18:51,360 --> 02:18:54,320
Speaker 2: want to stand Jared Goff side by side with Stetson Bennett.

2737
02:18:54,400 --> 02:18:56,480
Speaker 3: Well, no, I don't want to do that because right now,

2738
02:18:56,520 --> 02:19:00,199
Speaker 3: if you're asking me who I'd rather take, Jared Goff,

2739
02:19:00,480 --> 02:19:03,000
Speaker 3: say if he was available as a free agent in Detroit,

2740
02:19:03,040 --> 02:19:05,400
Speaker 3: that he is a really good quarterback. No, no, no, no,

2741
02:19:05,760 --> 02:19:08,560
Speaker 3: even before that season. I mean pretend like last season

2742
02:19:08,640 --> 02:19:11,200
Speaker 3: he didn't even happen, right, I mean from a skill

2743
02:19:11,240 --> 02:19:14,360
Speaker 3: set standpoint, stets And Bennett can't hold a candle to

2744
02:19:14,440 --> 02:19:16,840
Speaker 3: him coming out of cow I mean, like you know,

2745
02:19:17,360 --> 02:19:19,039
Speaker 3: he is the first pick in the direct Yeah, let's

2746
02:19:19,040 --> 02:19:21,240
Speaker 3: talk about skill set coming out of college. Stets and

2747
02:19:21,280 --> 02:19:23,280
Speaker 3: Bennett doesn't hold a candle to him. But in terms

2748
02:19:23,320 --> 02:19:26,400
Speaker 3: of winning, in terms of clutch gene and handling the

2749
02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:31,320
Speaker 3: moment and being able to manage a championship environment and

2750
02:19:31,360 --> 02:19:34,400
Speaker 3: all that comes into it, Bennett can do that. He's

2751
02:19:34,480 --> 02:19:37,400
Speaker 3: proven it many times over the course of a of

2752
02:19:37,440 --> 02:19:40,960
Speaker 3: a long college career. It's that's the facts. And by

2753
02:19:41,000 --> 02:19:44,039
Speaker 3: the way, how to overcome some adversity. Georgia didn't want

2754
02:19:44,120 --> 02:19:47,199
Speaker 3: them Georgia and wantam I understand the whole Bennett's story,

2755
02:19:47,200 --> 02:19:49,199
Speaker 3: and he was a walk on. He started, just hung

2756
02:19:49,240 --> 02:19:51,600
Speaker 3: on a little bit. He left the school, came back

2757
02:19:51,640 --> 02:19:54,120
Speaker 3: to Georgia. I mean, there was never he was never

2758
02:19:54,160 --> 02:19:58,680
Speaker 3: going to be anything. And then again, imagine imagine the

2759
02:19:58,720 --> 02:20:00,480
Speaker 3: public intoxication thing didn't happen, but.

2760
02:20:00,520 --> 02:20:03,720
Speaker 2: There's a lot that was what Gino Torretta was at Miami.

2761
02:20:03,879 --> 02:20:06,360
Speaker 2: Gen Or Toretta won a Heisman Trophy. He never lost

2762
02:20:06,360 --> 02:20:10,199
Speaker 2: any games, but everyone realized he wasn't a talented quarterback.

2763
02:20:10,240 --> 02:20:12,360
Speaker 2: That's why he was a seventh round draft pick. You

2764
02:20:12,400 --> 02:20:14,040
Speaker 2: know what, I'm not going to make an argument that

2765
02:20:14,040 --> 02:20:16,000
Speaker 2: Stets They're going to be this guy. He was in

2766
02:20:16,040 --> 02:20:19,840
Speaker 2: the fourth round. But look, Dak Prescott was a fourth rounder.

2767
02:20:19,959 --> 02:20:22,120
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson was a third rounder. There's I'm not and

2768
02:20:22,160 --> 02:20:22,760
Speaker 2: again I'm not.

2769
02:20:22,920 --> 02:20:27,120
Speaker 3: These are very talented professional franchise quarterbacks that I'm referring to.

2770
02:20:27,600 --> 02:20:30,360
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that a lot of times we do this,

2771
02:20:30,560 --> 02:20:33,800
Speaker 3: we immediately label a guy as not having the potential

2772
02:20:33,840 --> 02:20:35,160
Speaker 3: to be great at the NFL level.

2773
02:20:35,200 --> 02:20:39,039
Speaker 2: Before Evo, Well, Tim Tebow was my first round pick.

2774
02:20:39,280 --> 02:20:41,640
Speaker 2: Moved up for that, by the way, to me, kind

2775
02:20:41,640 --> 02:20:43,600
Speaker 2: of felt like an obvious he had a lot of

2776
02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:46,560
Speaker 2: games in college, an obvious no go at the NFL level.

2777
02:20:46,640 --> 02:20:51,160
Speaker 2: But look again again though even stetson Ben I know,

2778
02:20:51,360 --> 02:20:53,400
Speaker 2: but even then I'd bite my tongue because I didn't

2779
02:20:53,440 --> 02:20:56,000
Speaker 2: know as a fourth round pick, as a throwaway pick,

2780
02:20:56,120 --> 02:20:57,520
Speaker 2: I know, I get it.

2781
02:20:57,680 --> 02:21:00,720
Speaker 3: You're on the borderline, though, You're getting to the borderline

2782
02:21:00,720 --> 02:21:02,840
Speaker 3: where you can you can gamble on a fourth got a.

2783
02:21:02,800 --> 02:21:05,600
Speaker 2: Call from the Patriots. I thought, wow, they gambleway pick.

2784
02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:09,920
Speaker 2: You were not a throwaway pick. Look, they were banking

2785
02:21:10,000 --> 02:21:12,440
Speaker 2: on you had you not had injuries to be a

2786
02:21:12,480 --> 02:21:13,959
Speaker 2: contributor as a fourth rounder.

2787
02:21:14,000 --> 02:21:17,000
Speaker 3: Well, yes, but I'm saying, but you can gamble in

2788
02:21:17,040 --> 02:21:19,440
Speaker 3: the fourth round. You can take a shot at a guy.

2789
02:21:19,680 --> 02:21:21,080
Speaker 2: You did have a lot of picks. I think the

2790
02:21:21,160 --> 02:21:22,200
Speaker 2: Rams had half the draft.

2791
02:21:22,240 --> 02:21:24,480
Speaker 3: Well, and by the way, the year I got drafted, uh,

2792
02:21:24,800 --> 02:21:27,199
Speaker 3: we had eleven picks in that draft with the Patriots.

2793
02:21:27,200 --> 02:21:30,440
Speaker 4: So maybe I was the set's invented of my group

2794
02:21:30,480 --> 02:21:31,440
Speaker 4: over there in New England.

2795
02:21:31,600 --> 02:21:36,080
Speaker 2: You're a little bit taller. As far as the police

2796
02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:42,560
Speaker 2: officers into public intoxication, I think there's some parallels. Once again,

2805

2806
02:22:14,200 --> 02:22:17,119
Speaker 2: in Rich's lap. Yeah, I don't know why I chose

2807
02:22:17,160 --> 02:22:17,560
Speaker 2: to do this.

2808
02:22:17,879 --> 02:22:20,600
Speaker 3: It feels like a synchronized swimming event.

2809
02:22:21,560 --> 02:22:24,840
Speaker 2: But I guess so well, it's new, it's a new studio.

2810
02:22:25,000 --> 02:22:26,600
Speaker 2: We're just trying to figure out where we can do

2811

2812

Speaker 8: Guys are so cozy synchronized swimming?

2819
02:22:50,280 --> 02:22:51,880
Speaker 5: Now we need matching outfits.

2820
02:22:52,600 --> 02:22:56,040
Speaker 8: We need matching outfits and then maybe a little choreography.

2821
02:22:56,800 --> 02:22:59,880
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what couple steps.

2822
02:23:00,879 --> 02:23:04,560

2825
02:23:11,959 --> 02:23:15,720

02:24:05,600 --> 02:24:06,520
Speaker 2: It's true, Tah.

2843
02:24:06,840 --> 02:24:07,600
Speaker 5: So I'm fine.

2844
02:24:07,640 --> 02:24:10,840
Speaker 3: I'm to set a reminder in my phone because that

2845
02:24:11,320 --> 02:24:13,760
Speaker 3: was a stake for me, an eggplant for you, and

2846
02:24:13,840 --> 02:24:14,840
Speaker 3: it still hasn't happened.

02:24:17,400 --> 02:24:18,840
Speaker 2: Yes, you need to, no problem.

2850
02:24:19,160 --> 02:24:22,480
Speaker 8: What is trending, though, is a Scott Foster of course,

2851
02:24:22,560 --> 02:24:26,119
Speaker 8: with people saying that the home court advantage equals Scott Foster.

2852
02:24:26,640 --> 02:24:28,480
Speaker 5: When it comes to the NBA.

2853
02:24:28,600 --> 02:24:31,080
Speaker 8: Right now, the Sacramento Kings have the lead against the

2854
02:24:31,120 --> 02:24:32,120
Speaker 8: Golden State Warriors.

2855
02:24:32,160 --> 02:24:34,160
Speaker 5: Game seven, win or go home.

2856
02:24:34,280 --> 02:24:36,840
Speaker 8: Forty five forty two is the score with six minutes

2857
02:24:36,879 --> 02:24:39,440
Speaker 8: to go in the first half. Steph Curry leading the

2858
02:24:39,440 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 8: way for the Warriors. He's got twelve points for Sacramento.

2859
02:24:42,920 --> 02:24:45,400
Speaker 8: It's it's Sabonis. You had to want to Sabonis. He's

2860
02:24:45,440 --> 02:24:48,039
Speaker 8: leading the way. He's got ten points and three assists.

2861
02:24:48,080 --> 02:24:49,640
Speaker 8: But plenty of game left.

2862
02:24:49,840 --> 02:24:50,000
Speaker 7: Now.

2863
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:50,920
Speaker 5: It's the Heat who.

2864
02:24:50,720 --> 02:24:52,880
Speaker 8: Took Game one against the Knicks in New York, beating

2865
02:24:52,920 --> 02:24:55,039
Speaker 8: them one away to one on one. Jimmy Butler led

2866
02:24:55,080 --> 02:24:57,279
Speaker 8: the way. He handed with twenty five points and eleven rebounds.

2867
02:24:57,400 --> 02:25:00,680
Speaker 8: He did injure his right ankle late in fourth quarter.

2868
02:25:00,959 --> 02:25:03,840
Speaker 8: This is what head coach Eric Spolstra had to say

2869
02:25:03,959 --> 02:25:04,760
Speaker 8: about his injury.

2870
02:25:05,160 --> 02:25:07,560
Speaker 2: You know, you just don't know, you know, Vankal's friends.

2871
02:25:08,760 --> 02:25:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't even know if we'll know more by tomorrow.

2872
02:25:10,920 --> 02:25:12,440
Speaker 2: You know, we'll just have to see. It'll be a

2873
02:25:12,440 --> 02:25:13,360
Speaker 2: waiting game, you know.

2874
02:25:13,440 --> 02:25:14,720
Speaker 4: But he did not want to come out of the.

2875
02:25:14,720 --> 02:25:18,280
Speaker 2: Game, you know, so we left him in there.

2876
02:25:17,879 --> 02:25:20,600
Speaker 8: For Yeah, you left him in there because he's a badass.

2877
02:25:20,640 --> 02:25:23,840
Speaker 8: That is right in Major League Baseball. Who is a

2878
02:25:23,840 --> 02:25:27,480
Speaker 8: badass right now? The Rangers, who are just kicking butt

2879
02:25:27,520 --> 02:25:29,440
Speaker 8: and taking names over the Yankees.

2880
02:25:29,879 --> 02:25:33,720
Speaker 5: Fourteen to one. Wow is the score top of the

2881
02:25:33,879 --> 02:25:36,160
Speaker 5: seventh inning. No bueno.

2882
02:25:36,520 --> 02:25:39,119
Speaker 8: The Giants and the Padres are playing in Mexico City

2883
02:25:39,200 --> 02:25:41,600
Speaker 8: and it's San Francisco up to zero bottom of the

2884
02:25:41,680 --> 02:25:44,200
Speaker 8: second and it's a tie game between the Mariners and

2885
02:25:44,320 --> 02:25:45,320
Speaker 8: the Blue Jays.

2886
02:25:45,560 --> 02:25:46,680
Speaker 5: This one was back and forth.

2887
02:25:46,720 --> 02:25:49,800
Speaker 8: They are tied at eight apiece bottom of the ninth inning.

2888
02:25:49,959 --> 02:25:52,640
Speaker 8: They are playing in Toronto, and Toronto is down to

2889
02:25:52,800 --> 02:25:55,680
Speaker 8: their last out, so we might be going to extra innings.

2890
02:25:55,800 --> 02:25:56,800
Speaker 8: It's been fun, guys.

2891

02:26:40,720 --> 02:26:43,800
Speaker 2: Draft, you get Jalen Carter, who many people thought was

2906
02:26:43,840 --> 02:26:46,760
Speaker 2: the best talent in this draft. And then you get

2907
02:26:46,760 --> 02:26:50,520
Speaker 2: Nolan Smith who fell from potentially a top fifteen pick

2908
02:26:50,560 --> 02:26:54,480
Speaker 2: all the way down to thirty. Yeah, three new Georgia

2909
02:26:54,600 --> 02:26:59,400
Speaker 2: defenders from the two you drafted a year ago. Bo

2910
02:26:59,560 --> 02:27:02,480
Speaker 2: is it in right now? Are you? Are you hesitant

2911
02:27:02,560 --> 02:27:08,039
Speaker 2: when everyone is heaping praise on your team that they

2912
02:27:08,200 --> 02:27:11,920
Speaker 2: just absolutely aced it with a draft? Does that give

2913
02:27:11,959 --> 02:27:12,440
Speaker 2: you pause?

2914
02:27:12,520 --> 02:27:15,280
Speaker 10: I mean, you can't really win a draft on the

2915
02:27:15,360 --> 02:27:16,280
Speaker 10: day after the draft.

2916
02:27:16,400 --> 02:27:16,760
Speaker 2: You can't.

2917
02:27:16,879 --> 02:27:19,640
Speaker 10: You did four or five years later. Yeah, But to

2918
02:27:19,640 --> 02:27:23,000
Speaker 10: get Jalen Carter where they did, and I thought for

2919
02:27:23,040 --> 02:27:24,120
Speaker 10: sure he was going to Seattle.

2920
02:27:24,480 --> 02:27:26,440
Speaker 2: I thought so too. Yeah, that seemed to be the

2921
02:27:26,480 --> 02:27:27,000
Speaker 2: scuttle butt.

2922
02:27:27,080 --> 02:27:29,520
Speaker 10: So to get Jalen Carter where they did, to get

2923
02:27:29,560 --> 02:27:31,959
Speaker 10: Nolan Smith at thirty without having to move up.

2924
02:27:32,240 --> 02:27:34,800
Speaker 2: I know he had some injuries, yeah, but but I mean,

2925
02:27:34,840 --> 02:27:36,440
Speaker 2: and he's not a big guy when you look at

2926
02:27:36,440 --> 02:27:37,800
Speaker 2: Nolan Smith, But I mean its.

2927
02:27:37,680 --> 02:27:41,160
Speaker 4: Ability to get to the quarterback whoa My favorite.

2928
02:27:40,920 --> 02:27:44,920
Speaker 10: Quote that was going around this weekend was Nick Sirianni

2929
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:47,240
Speaker 10: asking how he Roseman after he went down to George's

2930
02:27:47,280 --> 02:27:50,480
Speaker 10: practice to ask him who he liked, and Howie Rosen

2931
02:27:50,600 --> 02:27:54,080
Speaker 10: was just like the entire defense and it's true because

2932
02:27:54,600 --> 02:27:57,000
Speaker 10: he has pretty much drafted that entire defense. I thought

2933
02:27:57,040 --> 02:27:59,560
Speaker 10: Keey Ringo and the third is a really good pick.

2934
02:28:00,840 --> 02:28:04,600
Speaker 10: I do think like when Howie Roseman took Jalen Rager

2935
02:28:04,640 --> 02:28:07,280
Speaker 10: instead of Justin Jefferson and saw what happened. I think

2936
02:28:07,280 --> 02:28:10,080
Speaker 10: that just like completely shifted the way he views the

2937
02:28:10,160 --> 02:28:12,480
Speaker 10: draft because I think ever since then, he's like taken

2938
02:28:12,560 --> 02:28:15,560
Speaker 10: more SEC players than any other team has, which is

2939
02:28:15,640 --> 02:28:17,800
Speaker 10: kind of my draft philosophy. So I'll take credit for it.

2940
02:28:17,920 --> 02:28:20,080
Speaker 2: You know, it's just amazing when you think just a

2941
02:28:20,120 --> 02:28:21,960
Speaker 2: couple of years ago, what a mess the Eagles were.

2942
02:28:22,280 --> 02:28:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean they appeared to be a team

2943
02:28:24,480 --> 02:28:27,920
Speaker 2: on a complete free fall, you know, the you know,

2944
02:28:28,040 --> 02:28:31,680
Speaker 2: with Peterson being let go and it just and let's face,

2945
02:28:31,879 --> 02:28:36,760
Speaker 2: Siriani didn't exactly blow people away with Presser was a joke.

2946
02:28:36,920 --> 02:28:39,760
Speaker 2: I mean people were just mocking him. Yeah, because ironically

2947
02:28:39,800 --> 02:28:42,240
Speaker 2: they were also mocking Peterson. And if you go back

2948
02:28:42,280 --> 02:28:44,959
Speaker 2: when Andy Ree was hired by the Eagles, that's three

2949
02:28:45,000 --> 02:28:47,280
Speaker 2: straight guys that they hired to be head coaches that

2950
02:28:47,320 --> 02:28:51,279
Speaker 2: were deemed phony offensive coordinators where they weren't play callers.

2951
02:28:51,320 --> 02:28:55,160
Speaker 3: The the one thing that every team needs to have

2952
02:28:55,440 --> 02:28:58,480
Speaker 3: if you're gonna have a chance. Yeah, is a really

2953
02:28:58,520 --> 02:29:01,000
Speaker 3: talented quarterback and they got lucky with Jellen Hurts.

2954
02:29:01,080 --> 02:29:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? And did they get lucky or well? I mean

2955
02:29:04,160 --> 02:29:05,840
Speaker 2: you could you could say it. I mean I was

2956
02:29:05,920 --> 02:29:07,920
Speaker 2: always a Hurts fan. You and I were talking when

2957
02:29:07,920 --> 02:29:09,040
Speaker 2: he went to Oklahoma.

2958
02:29:08,760 --> 02:29:11,400
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying, even if you're you're and we

2959
02:29:11,440 --> 02:29:13,520
Speaker 3: were fans of his talent at the College of them Boat,

2960
02:29:13,560 --> 02:29:14,480
Speaker 3: sounds like you were too.

2961
02:29:14,600 --> 02:29:17,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean I grew you know, I'm an Oklahoma

2962
02:29:17,480 --> 02:29:19,480
Speaker 10: fan so well.

2963
02:29:19,480 --> 02:29:21,519
Speaker 2: The way he handled the Alabama.

2964
02:29:21,080 --> 02:29:23,880
Speaker 10: Seculy, the way he handled that out and you get

2965
02:29:23,920 --> 02:29:26,920
Speaker 10: benched for an entire year, I was outrageous. I just

2966
02:29:26,959 --> 02:29:29,560
Speaker 10: didn't think he was going to be an NFL level quarterback.

2967
02:29:29,600 --> 02:29:31,680
Speaker 10: I at the end of his time at Oklahoma, I

2968
02:29:31,760 --> 02:29:33,560
Speaker 10: was praying that Spencer Rattler would get in the game

2969
02:29:33,560 --> 02:29:35,520
Speaker 10: because I don't think Jalen Hurts could do it.

2970
02:29:35,560 --> 02:29:38,760
Speaker 2: But I asked this question to number of NFL people.

2971
02:29:39,000 --> 02:29:41,160
Speaker 2: Once the Eagles dropped their Hurts and gave him an

2972
02:29:41,160 --> 02:29:43,760
Speaker 2: opportunity to play, I go, what's the ceiling on this guy?

2973
02:29:44,480 --> 02:29:47,480
Speaker 2: Give me a ceiling? I mean, is there a ceiling?

2974
02:29:47,560 --> 02:29:49,640
Speaker 2: And you know, everyone's like, ah, you know, he's a

2975
02:29:49,720 --> 02:29:52,720
Speaker 2: serviceable guy. Could anyone that predicted to be the highest

2976
02:29:52,760 --> 02:29:55,080
Speaker 2: paid player in the NFL or that he would be

2977
02:29:55,120 --> 02:29:57,120
Speaker 2: the best player on the field as he was in

2978
02:29:57,120 --> 02:30:00,640
Speaker 2: this past Super Bowl? Hard work man, he's a hard worker.

2979
02:30:01,000 --> 02:30:05,080
Speaker 3: And again, even great talents at the college level cannot

2980
02:30:05,080 --> 02:30:08,520
Speaker 3: pan out at the pro level. And that's what it was.

2981
02:30:08,640 --> 02:30:10,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it was it felt like it was going

2982
02:30:10,560 --> 02:30:12,800
Speaker 3: to be one of those we're just talking about Seton Bennett,

2983
02:30:13,040 --> 02:30:16,039
Speaker 3: fourth rounder. I mean it's a flyer pick practically for

2984
02:30:16,080 --> 02:30:18,120
Speaker 3: the Rams. He could end up being a Hall of

2985
02:30:18,160 --> 02:30:20,600
Speaker 3: Famer one day. You just don't know. I mean, same

2986
02:30:20,640 --> 02:30:24,199
Speaker 3: with Jellen Hurts. It felt like, wow, you know, second

2987
02:30:24,280 --> 02:30:26,879
Speaker 3: round pick, We'll see if it works out. He's just

2988
02:30:26,959 --> 02:30:29,560
Speaker 3: gonna kind of be a guy. But it's been so

2989
02:30:29,680 --> 02:30:32,560
Speaker 3: much more than that. You got a good quarterback, a

2990
02:30:32,600 --> 02:30:37,440
Speaker 3: talented quarterback, a capable NFL quarterback, and you have the

2991
02:30:37,480 --> 02:30:40,720
Speaker 3: sort of offensive line and defensive line and a commitment

2992
02:30:40,800 --> 02:30:44,520
Speaker 3: to building the trenches of your football team the way

2993
02:30:44,680 --> 02:30:48,640
Speaker 3: the Philadelphia Eagles have. You've got everything. I mean, that

2994
02:30:48,800 --> 02:30:51,240
Speaker 3: is how the San Francisco forty nine ers built their

2995
02:30:51,240 --> 02:30:54,000
Speaker 3: team with Shanahan, and Lynch. That's the way the Eagles

2996
02:30:54,000 --> 02:30:56,439
Speaker 3: have done it for years. That's the way the Patriots

2997
02:30:56,440 --> 02:30:59,359
Speaker 3: did it. They had competence, if not greatness a quarterback

2998
02:30:59,360 --> 02:31:02,480
Speaker 3: with Tom Braidy over the course of the two decades,

2999
02:31:02,640 --> 02:31:05,800
Speaker 3: and they constantly invested in the guys up front, building

3000
02:31:05,840 --> 02:31:09,119
Speaker 3: a strong front seven, a great offensive line, and then

3001
02:31:09,160 --> 02:31:14,200
Speaker 3: the skill position players largely sometimes we're anonymous guys.

3002
02:31:14,320 --> 02:31:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, they made a huge pickup this last offseason.

3003
02:31:17,360 --> 02:31:21,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, not to mention the guys they drafted, but they

3004
02:31:21,240 --> 02:31:23,960
Speaker 10: traded for DeAndre Swift over the weekend too. Yeah, they're

3005
02:31:23,959 --> 02:31:25,400
Speaker 10: going to have him in the backfield with their shot.

3006
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:27,959
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you right now, if you were

3007
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:31,320
Speaker 2: to say, uh, who's the better team right now? I've

3008
02:31:31,360 --> 02:31:34,400
Speaker 2: tried it. I was mentioning this yesterday. I think we

3009
02:31:34,440 --> 02:31:36,800
Speaker 2: can all sit here right now. The most talented teams

3010
02:31:36,840 --> 02:31:39,280
Speaker 2: on the NFC side are the Eagles in the forty nine. Yeah,

3011
02:31:39,480 --> 02:31:43,720
Speaker 2: without question. Is there a third place? I mean seriously,

3012
02:31:43,760 --> 02:31:46,680
Speaker 2: I mean, is there a Is there a definitive third

3013
02:31:47,000 --> 02:31:50,080
Speaker 2: best roster? I guess that's all you can say right

3014
02:31:50,080 --> 02:31:52,800
Speaker 2: now in the NFC? Is it the Cowboys?

3015
02:31:52,840 --> 02:31:54,680
Speaker 10: I would I mean, I would think it's the Cowboys

3016
02:31:54,720 --> 02:31:55,920
Speaker 10: or maybe the Seahawks.

3017
02:31:56,200 --> 02:31:57,120
Speaker 2: The Seahawks.

3018
02:31:57,200 --> 02:31:58,039
Speaker 10: Yeah, maybe it's.

3019
02:31:57,959 --> 02:31:59,760
Speaker 2: Interesting because a year ago I thought they were the

3020
02:31:59,760 --> 02:32:02,800
Speaker 2: worst team because look at their receivers. The Seahawks are stacked.

3021
02:32:02,840 --> 02:32:04,640
Speaker 2: What do you think of that sharbon a pick after

3022
02:32:04,680 --> 02:32:06,240
Speaker 2: they took Kenneth Walker a year ago.

3023
02:32:06,440 --> 02:32:09,320
Speaker 3: I like it because I love it. If Penny's not there,

3024
02:32:09,760 --> 02:32:12,160
Speaker 3: I mean, that was that was special. That group in

3025
02:32:12,200 --> 02:32:14,640
Speaker 3: the backfield was special. But Penny couldn't stay stay healthy.

3026
02:32:15,080 --> 02:32:18,280
Speaker 2: So I look, right now, you would have the Cowboys,

3027
02:32:18,440 --> 02:32:19,760
Speaker 2: but that's a distant three.

3028
02:32:19,879 --> 02:32:22,160
Speaker 3: That is a distant three. And then I get I mean,

3029
02:32:22,200 --> 02:32:24,360
Speaker 3: look the Rams. You still kind of have to put

3030
02:32:24,400 --> 02:32:25,640
Speaker 3: them in the conversation.

3031
02:32:25,920 --> 02:32:29,879
Speaker 2: Still in the conversation, Aaron Donald. Aaron Donald was just

3032
02:32:30,000 --> 02:32:33,520
Speaker 2: down last year. I understand. Cooper Cup he got hurt.

3033
02:32:33,840 --> 02:32:34,400
Speaker 2: I get it.

3034
02:32:35,160 --> 02:32:38,519
Speaker 4: Matthew Staffords gone.

3035
02:32:38,280 --> 02:32:41,080
Speaker 2: Well and it was time. It was time.

3036
02:32:41,120 --> 02:32:44,680
Speaker 4: But you're talking about potentially.

3037
02:32:43,520 --> 02:32:46,279
Speaker 2: That Matthew Stafford is going to be healthy this season, potentially.

3038
02:32:46,320 --> 02:32:48,520
Speaker 4: Now three Hall of famers I just listed.

3039
02:32:48,760 --> 02:32:50,920
Speaker 2: That's a pretty talented I'm not arguing about their Hall

3040
02:32:50,959 --> 02:32:53,080
Speaker 2: of Fame status. And by the way, we're also arguing

3041
02:32:53,080 --> 02:32:55,160
Speaker 2: how much gas is left in the tank fifth place.

3042
02:32:55,240 --> 02:32:58,280
Speaker 3: Oh and throw the lines in the mix. I mean,

3043
02:32:58,520 --> 02:33:02,280
Speaker 3: I I don't love how they draft, but I mean

3044
02:33:02,360 --> 02:33:05,960
Speaker 3: that's a team that's that is a supremely talented team

3045
02:33:06,040 --> 02:33:08,640
Speaker 3: that did some confounding things during this draft.

3046
02:33:08,560 --> 02:33:11,600
Speaker 2: Right because they didn't really upgrade their defense. Didn't upgrade

3047
02:33:11,640 --> 02:33:14,720
Speaker 2: their defense, but offensively, look the sacked. You know the

3048
02:33:14,800 --> 02:33:18,160
Speaker 2: team if they're if this team's quarterback can make a

3049
02:33:18,160 --> 02:33:21,680
Speaker 2: big leap the Bears, when you look at Green Bay

3050
02:33:21,760 --> 02:33:24,080
Speaker 2: right now with Jordan Love, that's a big question mark

3051
02:33:24,200 --> 02:33:27,440
Speaker 2: Minnesota is let's face, are they going to go eleven

3052
02:33:27,440 --> 02:33:29,840
Speaker 2: to zero and one score games like they did last year?

3053
02:33:29,879 --> 02:33:31,560
Speaker 2: I think they will. I don't think that's going to

3054
02:33:31,640 --> 02:33:37,640
Speaker 2: happen again. I mean, is it possible if Justin Fields

3055
02:33:37,640 --> 02:33:43,200
Speaker 2: makes a mighty leap the Bears could steal the NFC

3056
02:33:43,280 --> 02:33:46,560
Speaker 2: North from worst team to first at least in their division.

3057

02:34:26,400 --> 02:34:30,840
Speaker 3: who's also throwing the football sometimes, and he progresses into

3071
02:34:30,879 --> 02:34:35,760
Speaker 3: becoming a true dual threat at the quarterback position in

02:37:13,240 --> 02:37:15,360
Speaker 2: I got this as a Christmas gift about twelve thirteen

3126
02:37:15,440 --> 02:37:17,640
Speaker 2: years ago when they were really never seen you wear

3127
02:37:17,680 --> 02:37:20,240
Speaker 2: that really, samewhere like once a year. Look the exact

3128

3129
02:37:22,440 --> 02:37:26,640
Speaker 2: like it's banging jersey on, I got this NHL playoff

3130
02:37:26,640 --> 02:37:30,920
Speaker 2: season years ago. As far as Mon has concerned, promises

3131
02:37:31,480 --> 02:37:34,600
Speaker 2: not kept by Rich. So he still needs to deliver

3132
02:37:34,640 --> 02:37:35,360
Speaker 2: the egg plant.

3133
02:37:35,680 --> 02:37:39,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, patiently waiting patiently.

3134
02:37:39,560 --> 02:37:42,000
Speaker 2: I guess Moncey mos upset by all the conversation we

3135
02:37:42,040 --> 02:37:45,560
Speaker 2: had about the Clippers want to extend the contracts, not

3136
02:37:45,560 --> 02:37:48,560
Speaker 2: not void, but extend the contracts. So Kawhi Leonard and

3137
02:37:48,560 --> 02:37:49,480
Speaker 2: Paul George.

3138
02:37:49,240 --> 02:37:51,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't extend them. Don't do that.

3139
02:37:52,040 --> 02:37:54,440
Speaker 8: I know I and I hear what Rich is saying

3140
02:37:54,440 --> 02:37:56,000
Speaker 8: on the business side of it.

3141
02:37:56,080 --> 02:37:57,720
Speaker 5: But as a fan, no, why would.

3142
02:37:57,520 --> 02:37:59,720
Speaker 2: I want that? Tough Sell, though, we're going to be

3143
02:38:00,200 --> 02:38:02,200
Speaker 2: exact same conversation in the year, we will and it

3144
02:38:02,240 --> 02:38:04,240
Speaker 2: will be the same thing. It's like he did what

3145
02:38:04,360 --> 02:38:05,200
Speaker 2: he had to do.

3146
02:38:06,400 --> 02:38:09,000
Speaker 10: Monty wants to open the new arena with Russell Westbrookford.

3147
02:38:11,240 --> 02:38:13,160
Speaker 2: He they have they have said they are going to

3148
02:38:13,200 --> 02:38:16,440
Speaker 2: bring back Russell Westbrook if the price is right. Well

3149
02:38:16,440 --> 02:38:18,640
Speaker 2: in the post is good. He did tell you the

3150
02:38:18,640 --> 02:38:23,400
Speaker 2: guy that earn a raises Norman, the guy.

3151
02:38:23,240 --> 02:38:29,840
Speaker 4: To bring it all that dude, just one Westbrook and.

3152
02:38:29,840 --> 02:38:33,520
Speaker 2: Norman pell u c L a U c U c

3153
02:38:33,640 --> 02:38:35,720
Speaker 2: L a Ryan Hollins, it's going to be joining you

3154
02:38:35,760 --> 02:38:39,400
Speaker 2: on coming up with kid Bo. So you're just sitting

3155
02:38:39,440 --> 02:38:41,360
Speaker 2: pretty right now, right, I mean, you're on top of

3156
02:38:41,360 --> 02:38:42,840
Speaker 2: the world. This guy's got to figure it out.

3157
02:38:42,920 --> 02:38:46,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, Eagles win the draft, Lakers are chilling

3158
02:38:46,400 --> 02:38:49,880
Speaker 10: at home waiting for whoever. Uh you know, Dodger's only

3159
02:38:49,920 --> 02:38:50,680
Speaker 10: down by one.

3160
02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:53,040
Speaker 2: With sinder Garden on that.

3161
02:38:53,240 --> 02:38:55,440
Speaker 10: Yeah, life's good, all right.

3162
02:38:55,520 --> 02:38:57,959
Speaker 2: So Bo's on top of the world right now. Yeah,

3163
02:38:58,240 --> 02:39:00,480
Speaker 2: all right, So we got halftime right now. The Kings

3164
02:39:00,480 --> 02:39:04,480
Speaker 2: have a two point lead against the Warriors. I honestly,

3165
02:39:04,560 --> 02:39:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna matter with the Lakers one

3166
02:39:08,640 --> 02:39:10,800
Speaker 2: or the other. I agree, obviously the Kings are younger,

3167
02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:15,360
Speaker 2: fresher legs Warriors. You know, if the Warriors somehow steal

3168
02:39:15,440 --> 02:39:17,760
Speaker 2: this game seven on the road, and that would make

3169
02:39:17,800 --> 02:39:20,160
Speaker 2: me nervous, im I'm the Lakers, oh sure, because they

3170
02:39:20,240 --> 02:39:24,840
Speaker 2: still are the Warriors very similar teams obviously, and then

3171
02:39:24,920 --> 02:39:27,280
Speaker 2: it would come down to who delivers. It would be

3172
02:39:27,560 --> 02:39:30,680
Speaker 2: Stepping and Clay or would it be Lebron and a

3173
02:39:30,879 --> 02:39:34,800
Speaker 2: d But I said this earlier. If I just look

3174
02:39:35,040 --> 02:39:38,880
Speaker 2: at the current rosters, assuming that Lebron and a d

3175
02:39:39,120 --> 02:39:42,720
Speaker 2: are healthy, I think the Lakers have the best roster

3176
02:39:42,840 --> 02:39:46,120
Speaker 2: in the Western Conference of the remaining teams. Yeah, I

3177
02:39:46,160 --> 02:39:48,560
Speaker 2: mean they have more guys that can step up and

3178
02:39:48,600 --> 02:39:50,320
Speaker 2: make a difference in the game, because we saw it

3179
02:39:50,360 --> 02:39:53,400
Speaker 2: with and l Russell.

3180
02:39:53,520 --> 02:39:57,200
Speaker 3: But the Suns to me overall the best roster.

3181
02:39:57,400 --> 02:40:01,320
Speaker 2: Wow. I mean, if we're going they're Big three, but

3182
02:40:01,480 --> 02:40:06,040
Speaker 2: after that they give up a lot of their big string.

3183
02:40:06,200 --> 02:40:08,480
Speaker 2: The Big three is a lot. The Big three is

3184
02:40:08,520 --> 02:40:14,920
Speaker 2: a whole lot. Booker Durant, Paul, that's a lot. Well,

3185
02:40:14,959 --> 02:40:17,200
Speaker 2: we'll see how that all plays out in the meantime.

3186
02:40:17,520 --> 02:40:20,680
Speaker 2: Don't go anywhere, Ky dub Ryan Hans, they will get
