Disappearing Acts

[00:00:00] Yes, you went down listening to the sound of sports reports as order.

[00:00:11] And tonight what is the NCAA doing?

[00:00:16] Are they just trying to give up all their pull-in order?

[00:00:21] Go out and beat us out for it and then get period of time.

[00:00:27] We figured that's about four to six and I don't know why I made that sound like a

[00:00:31] jail sentence.

[00:00:33] But we're going to do one more final reaction to the NFL coaching carousel.

[00:00:40] Give some final thoughts on these higher, maybe throw some coordinators in there, we'll

[00:00:45] see where the conversation goes.

[00:00:47] But don't let me be rude.

[00:00:51] Let me step back for a second.

[00:00:54] Let me introduce the one and all.

[00:01:01] Worldwide fame is Worldwide in West.

[00:01:04] You're the A-born, you're New Jerusalem building, you're won't bring killer to a fat

[00:01:13] fight.

[00:01:14] Don't do it.

[00:01:15] And of course the biggest move is this dip set.

[00:01:22] You're a logical.

[00:01:29] You're a good building.

[00:01:32] More influencing Jim Jones.

[00:01:37] More a more worthy to kill a fight.

[00:01:41] And you ain't even got to worry about me getting handcuffed, I do the handcuffed.

[00:01:46] I swear to your mouth.

[00:01:53] Always on here saying hi to your grandma.

[00:01:56] Because I respect my health.

[00:01:58] We are forced reports of all.

[00:02:00] And now we're going to start this off with a little stuff that we like to call.

[00:02:04] Get it off my chest.

[00:02:13] So I got a little sum sum today.

[00:02:18] We got a little shout out to the hot box, little check we have on Facebook and the podcast.

[00:02:25] You can see it posted on our Facebook page.

[00:02:28] We share a lot of information on Instagram.

[00:02:29] We tag each other a lot in these different conversations.

[00:02:32] But throughout the day we generate a lot of conversations.

[00:02:35] This is something I actually posted on my page a couple days ago.

[00:02:39] Can you please stop with this NFL is rigged stuff?

[00:02:43] I understand that the outcomes aren't in your favor.

[00:02:50] But that does not support it being rigged to simply replay the end of a game and simply

[00:02:56] say, look at all these mistakles.

[00:02:59] These guys a million dollar ballerinas out there.

[00:03:02] I played the game.

[00:03:04] You don't miss tackles like that.

[00:03:06] It's just it's irresponsible is illogical.

[00:03:10] Until you support it with some real evidence, you can't believe it.

[00:03:15] Like you can't just be believing it and sharing it and sharing all these videos like look

[00:03:19] at this.

[00:03:20] Look at this.

[00:03:21] Now you mean to tell me he missed the tackle because think about it.

[00:03:23] I just saw how I like watching best throws from the 2023 season.

[00:03:30] Philly returned to interception against Arizona put them up 14 three.

[00:03:37] They ended up losing that game.

[00:03:39] I believe it was like 35 31.

[00:03:43] No one's up in the arm saying that game was rigged right no one's reposting clips of look

[00:03:49] at this game if they were dumb they involved with sudden.

[00:03:53] It seems like the only time this gets mentioned is when somebody's team succeeds or a pick

[00:04:00] that they made doesn't fall through the way that they wanted now a sudden is rigged

[00:04:04] and somebody else is favored.

[00:04:06] Too many things have to happen the helmet catch cannot be written into a script.

[00:04:13] Eli Manning being awful for all those years making that super run that script wouldn't

[00:04:19] be believable if you wrote that in a movie people like really stuff has to happen in real

[00:04:24] life.

[00:04:25] You got to deal with it.

[00:04:27] The second miracle of the metal lands when the Sean Jackson returned a punt for a touchdown

[00:04:33] and Philly ended up winning a game 38 to 31 when they were down 21 in the fourth quarter.

[00:04:38] No one's bringing that up saying that the NFL is rigged no one's chopping that up and

[00:04:41] cutting that up and look look at the rest of it is only now that all of a sudden people

[00:04:47] on this hype tree this outrage tree talked about Chris Rock with his special selective outrage

[00:04:54] that's all it is.

[00:04:56] People come on now formally you own a opinion be thoughtful be logical do some research

[00:05:01] get some information don't you share YouTube clips of some do say you know what everything

[00:05:08] you played out in the field it's like cut it out the NFL has the most viewers of any

[00:05:16] televised event the Super Bowl last year was the most viewed event in the world ever.

[00:05:21] So what is there incentive to rig games people watch the Super every no matter who's in

[00:05:28] it.

[00:05:29] It's because a team hasn't made it because the triad's made it because Cleveland hasn't

[00:05:35] made it because Washington hasn't been there in a while it is what it is like you got to

[00:05:40] do better as a team to get there 100% like there's no one's different NFL to rig games

[00:05:47] so please stop sharing these videos I'll post these videos stop giving these dudes

[00:05:53] clout because it is ridiculous NFL's not rigged your team just didn't win maybe they

[00:06:00] were next year.

[00:06:01] Yo and be on the lookout for two five daily because I'm going to talk about some things

[00:06:08] that would happen in a film was actually rigged but you know the NBA kind of has a hand

[00:06:13] in this because obviously you had Tim Donahee out here and we know about what happened

[00:06:19] between the Kings and Lakers for example so once you have something happened like that

[00:06:25] I think it's natural for people to say well what's happening in other sports.

[00:06:30] You know I don't even know how you would rig baseball like outside of the strike zone I guess

[00:06:35] but you know but like but looking at football there's too many moving parts like I did

[00:06:41] I will admit I will admit there were two seasons in particular that I did think the NFL

[00:06:46] was rigged.

[00:06:48] I thought that the NFL was rigged when the Saints won you know because all they were talking

[00:06:53] about was Katrina but obviously it didn't happen like the year after Katrina.

[00:06:58] The Patriots, 9-11 Patriots shot out the shaman Dermott you know Sam I thought about that

[00:07:05] at one point in time but the question I've always had because I know you like to do

[00:07:10] the thing you know Kawaii traveled you know all that stuff like that and I was like why

[00:07:15] didn't call Eli on the grass.

[00:07:20] I thought about that too but I think it's because he had he had some space like it was an

[00:07:28] offensive lineman pushing a defensive end all for them like the defensive end wasn't pulling

[00:07:35] him in like I think the guard of the tackles I think was like a was a dinosaur his name

[00:07:43] the big defensive infanoo England he had him by the jersey they would vote for it was

[00:07:48] 96.

[00:07:49] Couriers or donners yeah he had like a name like a Q a quantity so I'm like that can't remember

[00:07:57] but he was being blocked while holding on to Eli.

[00:08:00] So Eli had like a little space and then the offensive lineman was pushing so I'm glad

[00:08:06] they didn't call it it was one of the greatest plays in the history of the sport so.

[00:08:09] Definitely something we'll talk about for the rest of our lives as well.

[00:08:12] I like when the referees stay out of the way.

[00:08:14] Yeah I think that outside of like just those moments where I was just thinking like really

[00:08:23] the Patriots ain't never won those Super Bowl this time bringing kid at the time you

[00:08:28] know it's like he's not a great quarterback or you know this Patriots team isn't a great

[00:08:33] team playing against the greatest show on turf.

[00:08:36] I mean obviously we found out later that they cheated but you know that wasn't that

[00:08:42] wasn't rigged that was just the Patriots being some low down dirty cheaters.

[00:08:47] Yeah you know the idea if you tell me somebody cheated I get it because that has been investigated

[00:08:55] and that's been talked about the NFL had there's no incentive for the NFL to rig games

[00:09:00] because they don't lose viewers.

[00:09:03] Somebody's belong to Jesus right that was the NFL then Jesus right let's keep it a

[00:09:10] hundred yeah like you know even like with the whole capric think you know there were people

[00:09:15] talking about how they were going to stop watching I know a few people did shout out the

[00:09:18] resident say you know he did stop watching you know but you know just from the standpoint

[00:09:24] of you gonna come back you know what I mean like football is embedded in you as an American

[00:09:32] like you so you can't live in this even people that don't necessarily follow sports.

[00:09:38] I know who Patrick Mahomes is you know obviously you know we got this Taylor Swift thing going

[00:09:44] on and hopefully it'll end after this season and next year we don't have to deal with

[00:09:49] this shit anymore but you know it is but Joe get it off my chest you need to tell me I

[00:09:56] haven't had to banner up but uh and listen to me.

[00:10:01] I still think we do make it do what it do you know Sam but get it off my chest so when

[00:10:07] this whole thing started you thought he was gonna be in it 10 it's only been six Martin

[00:10:13] up Nas you know as I look at the Lakers the state of the Lakers what are we doing here are

[00:10:21] you a contender no is there a trade out there that can make you a contender no and why because

[00:10:31] you don't have the pieces to get that player or play yours that could make you a contender

[00:10:37] Atlanta fans already all hear screaming that they don't want the Agile O'Russell you know

[00:10:42] Zeya so we figure Austin Reeves probably isn't on the table you know you're not gonna trade

[00:10:47] Anthony Davis right now because as long as you keep them LeBron you know you figure Anthony

[00:10:53] Davis is the best path as a running mate to get LeBron back to the finals because in the

[00:10:58] end it's not about the Lakers getting to the finals it's about LeBron getting to the finals

[00:11:02] you know as we look at this me and Mr. Logical used to argue about this way before sports

[00:11:11] reports is ordered was even thought of correct you know we used to argue about this why don't

[00:11:16] Cleveland try to find a trade for LeBron well LeBron has a no trade clause right but if we find

[00:11:23] the right trade maybe he'll say yes you know why did Miami let LeBron hold them hostage and walk

[00:11:28] away and leave devastation in his wake this is what he does you know it is what it is and that's

[00:11:37] not even hey I'm not even trying to hate on LeBron right now I'm just saying that's what happens when

[00:11:42] he leaves these teams and it's usually because he walks away his buddies leave too and then we got

[00:11:50] to hear about how the team can't win without so as I'm looking at this season 39 years old have great

[00:11:58] season Michael Jordan could never and even with that being said they're barely above 500

[00:12:08] they want the in-season tournament and they've been awful ever since for the most part

[00:12:14] they got to win against gold estate so you know you gotta give them the credit where the credit is due

[00:12:18] but I think this trade would be the mix but I think this trade would be beneficial for both teams

[00:12:23] or if we're both parties for LeBron and the Lakers from the standpoint of once you move LeBron maybe

[00:12:29] you can move Anthony Davis now you can get some picks back that we know the Lakers don't care about

[00:12:34] the draft but you can go get you another star a younger star to start the new era of Laker

[00:12:41] you know as I look at LeBron James with the hourglass you know with the next tile with the next color

[00:12:48] chew I would just be sick of the shit like I'm sick of this shit right now and I don't even deal with

[00:12:56] them directly and I'm sorry Mr. Lodgeable because I know you would like to have LeBron on this show

[00:13:02] at some point but you know I just got I gotta be authentic I gotta be authentic because you

[00:13:08] mean to five because you know back in the day when we were listening you know who's the best

[00:13:14] of C's Jay Z Big Eona's I part of that was the subliminals being so clever you're reign on the top

[00:13:21] with short light leprechauns and things like that where you had to figure out who they were talking

[00:13:26] about piece it together it was like a chess match they were just all there was a cold war going on

[00:13:31] that not a lot of people knew about because Twitter and all that wasn't around back then

[00:13:36] LeBron tries to do that but he's just childish and annoying

[00:13:41] you know what I mean so yeah he does it a lot so it doesn't have that effect but who knew after all

[00:13:50] these years and trying to put Kevin Love in his place LeBron would be the one trying to fit out

[00:13:59] now I am going to say this the LeBron trade is too late also the Lakers haven't had a season

[00:14:17] without a superstar for a while so they had the gap at the Kobe retired of course his final years

[00:14:25] but they are a show they are entertainment they have the championships but they literally they were

[00:14:32] showtime through the 80s and the 90s then they got Kobe they had Shaq they started winning more

[00:14:40] championships they had a little gap they got Pao paired them with Kobe once the more championships

[00:14:47] East of Conference West of Conference finals things that had nature and then they had a little gap

[00:14:55] higher magic Johnson that brought a little buzz to the team because the Lakers need buzz they're

[00:15:00] Hollywood when you're selling a movie you need buzz right they are the masters of buzz I think

[00:15:07] they update I think they treat their team like a Hollywood movie you can have an average script but

[00:15:14] if you feel like you can go get the best actor it'll make the movie work and it worked in 2020 when

[00:15:22] they won the championship that year with LeBron and ED because they gave up a bunch it was like

[00:15:29] you're making a movie you overpay Angela Jolie you overpay you know JLo you overpay Vin Diesel

[00:15:37] you pay these guys 30 40 million just because it's like yeah we're going to be right our budget is

[00:15:43] going to be high but the Rock and Cadmium Heart together are they're going to get us $500 million

[00:15:51] if it works and that's what LeBron is LeBron is that box office piece with AD the no trade

[00:15:59] cause on top of the fact that every team isn't cultivated to handle that LeBron brings

[00:16:09] and it's not a negative thing it's like it's just it's like right now working the

[00:16:15] working the flying squadron airplane is pretty large you can't land at AV airport

[00:16:22] just certain airports need you need certain things in place before the jet can even land at

[00:16:28] airport so when these guys are planning out their missions and they're going to land somewhere it's

[00:16:31] like we can't go there they don't have a support we need it's not that we're a diva airline

[00:16:38] or a diva group of you know aircrew is just that this plane requires X amount of support X amount

[00:16:46] of like certain level has to be up as you're on kind of support same thing if you are trying to

[00:16:52] get a deal deal hotel like if you're overseas and your DOD you have to get a DOD approved hotel

[00:16:58] because the safety and security you are an upper echelon piece you can't just get off the plane

[00:17:03] and preach and go to the next hotel the next airport it has to be a certain distance from X Y Z

[00:17:09] safety whatever whatever the case may be so it may seem like oh you guys are being extra but

[00:17:15] that's comes along with what you bring to the table LeBron is that piece he leaves these teams

[00:17:20] in shambles but they get to the finals they're selling out every home game for four years in a row

[00:17:27] they're selling out every row game price tickets are inflated I looked at tickets last

[00:17:32] for the next game Saturday it was $696 for the nose bleed seats

[00:17:42] $700 that's a couple car payments to sit above the scoreboard because of Lakers where in New

[00:17:48] York City that's what you get when you have more your team so you gotta take the bad good with

[00:17:53] the bad but we'll give them that you give a guy that tells no trade clause you gotta do everything

[00:17:58] around that to make it easier you can expect you can't expect that piece to all of a sudden be like

[00:18:04] oh this isn't working because all these pieces we put around it didn't work so now this not

[00:18:09] that piece is unmovable right and see and that's the thing with a friend like the Lakers

[00:18:15] you're not playing to get to the finals you know what I mean you're not playing to be a contender

[00:18:21] yes you are no you're not playing to bring that up they're not champions

[00:18:25] they're not bringing home no they're not no no no we're saying two different things I'm not saying

[00:18:31] that's a liquid art story history historically that's what they play for everyone plays for the

[00:18:37] championship for the most part but it's like the Dallas Cowboys they make moves in the hopes

[00:18:44] that they win championships but if they can just keep putting butts and seats because think about

[00:18:50] what have the Lakers done to improve their team every year they basically trade apples for

[00:18:59] different color apples they get a bunch of guys who are tough they can't shoot for the last

[00:19:06] three seasons you get cam reddish you get rui you get uh what's they you just get guys off the bench

[00:19:14] that's a part of the LeBron experience you get a bunch but they keep getting guys who can't shoot

[00:19:19] they keep getting his buddies then you get one guy that can really that's showing improvement he was

[00:19:25] the one that signed off on Westbrook coming there when there were probably shooters out there

[00:19:29] that they could have got buddy healed they could have got buddy healed but they didn't want it

[00:19:33] buddy healed but they wouldn't move the trade pieces they could have gotten buddy they moved Westbrook

[00:19:38] yeah so that's what I'm saying so they they haven't really put themselves in position to really be

[00:19:44] a championship team other than just keeping LeBron and that's all they had magic Johnson was there

[00:19:50] LeBron fell into their lap the Lakers have done nothing since they got Paul Gassol that says

[00:19:56] without without LeBron just going there named one move that they made that was like yeah this

[00:20:02] is a good move that's because LeBron said trade all these other dudes away which wasn't this what's

[00:20:08] wasn't the smart move oh LeBron said that absolutely okay I'll say go get my guy

[00:20:13] sure because I know before but we say that he'd be doing these things people say he don't no

[00:20:18] I know he asked for everyone knows he asked for Anthony Davis he was signed to his agency he was

[00:20:23] the guy that he wanted he's pretty much said it publicly without tampering so we know he wanted

[00:20:28] that guy but other than that other than that move and on top of that the moves after that they didn't

[00:20:33] resign out of the crew so they gave up Kuzma and KCP to get Westbrook it's like they keep making

[00:20:39] these moves that aren't championship moves and he looks like they're a championship team because

[00:20:45] they have the ultimate championship piece in LeBron couple with 80 that's it that's a good

[00:20:51] championship move that the agency team going this is the blueprint too it's the gift in the curse

[00:20:58] because all these years all we've heard is if you put LeBron on this team they're a contender

[00:21:05] and it was true you know they get to the finals they were they were in the worst finals

[00:21:09] finals finals it's not like you and LeBron through that 2013 lids is yeah if we have

[00:21:14] LeBron we can win you can win they were in the Western Conference finals last year they were up

[00:21:19] I mean yeah they got swept but they were up and games won and two blues leads it happens because

[00:21:26] at some point you did another guy who can kind of get his own bucket right they didn't have that

[00:21:31] but made to the Western Conference finals that I wasn't expecting them to make it that far because

[00:21:36] I don't think yeah that was the weird thing because that was we were reversed last year because I

[00:21:40] was like I like to trade moves and you were like god ain't gonna do nothing it was weird like

[00:21:45] it just because like I said it just felt like they just were just trading apples for other apples

[00:21:50] and I understand wholeheartedly LeBron for his entire career you could put you could have put

[00:21:56] him on any team in the league especially in his prime years right like that that eight-year running

[00:22:01] when he went to the finals eight straight years right you could probably you could have probably

[00:22:05] put him on a different team every year just him for the eight years and I think that team would have

[00:22:12] been odds one or two to make it to the to the finals every single year because he is he is he is

[00:22:19] that dynamic is like you can't pick that away from the problem is the expectations right now or

[00:22:25] too high for the team that they have especially considering the fact that he's what three years

[00:22:30] younger than us yeah dude yet he would have we would have been in high school with him like he would

[00:22:37] know he would have been the year we graduated he would have rolled in a freshman yeah you would have

[00:22:42] been a freshman I think that's lost I think people we in our red damn down in our mid 40s well I

[00:22:48] think you want him to get me of 22 euros 22 to 25 year old the dominantly he want the 40 year old

[00:22:54] dude is like yeah I think I think that people understand that he's older or old but I don't think

[00:22:59] people actually understand how old he is like you know the things that he's doing like it's

[00:23:06] remarkable we've never seen anybody at this age do the things that he's doing so I understand

[00:23:11] limits in the history of sport so I understand why if you if you have him on your team you feel that

[00:23:18] you have a chance but if you're not if you're going to basically practice malpractice because I don't

[00:23:24] know how pelinco still has a job so if you're going to put these pieces around holes for apples they

[00:23:30] literally have done they haven't made a championship move for getting Paul Gussau was your only

[00:23:38] championship move and that was because Jay West gave it to him if Paul Gussau's on any other

[00:23:44] team they're not getting Paul Gussau for what they traded him for his little brother who was

[00:23:49] unproven Kwame Brown I believe yeah and like some picks from like 237 so crazy like no

[00:23:59] way that's all the problems that Jay West and that was their problem I was talking about you know

[00:24:05] they gave up all their picks except for I think it's what 2027 and 2029 maybe I think they move those

[00:24:11] picks you know so wherever they have on the team now yeah so it's just one of those

[00:24:17] what the back is deal from last year and that's what I'm saying like so from that standpoint that's

[00:24:21] where I'm like you have to you're going to start over at some point and like I used to tell my

[00:24:27] airmen because you know we had some knuckleheads back in the day you know that I used to tell my airman

[00:24:33] go home because you chose to go home not because they told you to go home and and that's where I'm

[00:24:40] at with the Lakers don't start over because LeBron walked away he you have to start over sometimes it's

[00:24:49] okay to get ahead of it now I know over two years ago that they should have traded AD yeah

[00:24:58] and then just relative in the fact that they got a championship in 2020 trade AD to whomever

[00:25:06] has some young talent but you can't do that just like you can't read LeBron because LeBron maybe

[00:25:12] LeBron doesn't resign there he goes back to the heat it goes back to Cleveland something like that

[00:25:18] and you and you can look at the AD trade as this is what we got for LeBron because we got AD

[00:25:27] because LeBron was here we get AD we move AD we get whatever pieces back we get we pair them with

[00:25:34] LeBron for however many years he had left on his deal and then you let him walk it's not a

[00:25:39] thing to him but it's like you're in no man you're in no man's land because you just you just

[00:25:48] weren't you weren't in a position to you weren't in a position of power once you essentially

[00:25:59] won the championship and kind of gave up too much after the fact

[00:26:05] you know what they need right they need a two five up in there because I think that sometimes sports

[00:26:13] executives and GMs they get inside their mind and they're cognizant of the criticism that they're

[00:26:20] going to receive if they do certain things so like you forever whatever happens in your life

[00:26:28] after you trade LeBron James you're gonna be known as the person that traded LeBron James

[00:26:34] you know regardless that Brady what he is at his career but even if you but even if you just

[00:26:41] trade AD and keep LeBron two questions what are you bringing in to get you closer to a championship

[00:26:50] whatever you could have got him for him or two and then number two and then number two

[00:26:56] you're still going to be dealing with his bullshit and his you know and his like tweets and all

[00:27:02] this kind of stuff that is a kind of so that that's but that's the thing the Lakers organization

[00:27:09] they are the airport that can handle the heavy aircraft coming in they can handle that because

[00:27:16] they are such a line white base franchise they are not the bronze not their first superstar

[00:27:22] Cleveland LeBron was their first superstar and you saw how uh Dan Gilbert handed it and when he

[00:27:29] left Miami LeBron wasn't their first superstar Pat Riley and Go bananas when they left he just kept his

[00:27:38] coaches he kept bringing De way back and and he just kept making moves he just was like hey I'm not

[00:27:46] gonna accrues to all your requests he kept it together the Lakers are that kind of place they just

[00:27:53] are living in fantasy land thinking that it's all just gonna work out and that's why I said

[00:28:05] smought nothing else you know so for the six years we love it Mike could kill the

[00:28:12] we with these titles because I don't see them I don't see the banners before so we see them when

[00:28:16] I see them live this is a real reaction to like some of these banners that they come up with so yeah

[00:28:21] so reigning defending MVP Joel Mbid I called him out a couple of weeks ago because he didn't want to play

[00:28:28] in Denver he got pulled off the court I still feel that way you know what I mean obviously he got heard

[00:28:35] a few games later unfortunately against Golden State Camiga ran into his leg and everything

[00:28:42] free free injury to some degree so that wasn't tied to what happened in Denver but now he's out

[00:28:50] four to six weeks the sixers have been you ready for it the sixers have been surmounted

[00:28:59] you know by the nicks and the calves you know so there are so right now they're in sixth

[00:29:06] they sit about a game out of fourth I believe you know so if the playoffs were to start today

[00:29:13] they would be on the road or their fifth I'm sorry yeah so they would be playing the nicks

[00:29:22] right now if the playoffs started today in the four five but they would be the road team

[00:29:27] correct so mr. logical you've been talking real crazy out here listening to people like

[00:29:33] Kendrick Perkins was talking about this man he's the sit talk to me about it

[00:29:40] per that you know they clip Kendrick Perkins I'm not anyone seen it was ESPN

[00:29:47] reportedly mbid was having trouble jumping before the injury

[00:29:55] I think he probably didn't play in Denver because he needs the rest he's a big body going

[00:30:01] about seven two two eighty five and then the way he plays he doesn't just play your traditional

[00:30:07] like yokech doesn't need to move that fluidly yokech's kind of just you can kind of lumber

[00:30:12] in b plays with great quickness like a soccer player you play soccer growing up you know in

[00:30:18] Africa so like I think he moves differently he moves like a guy who's six seven but his body is seven

[00:30:25] two and it's like you it's hard to kind of balance both but that's how he plays that's how

[00:30:29] he plays average in 36 points of game but it could be to his detriment if he tries to come back because

[00:30:36] four to six weeks we did the math you know you get about two two to three games weeks about two

[00:30:41] and a half so you're somewhere around 12 to 18 games they just played their 49th game so that

[00:30:49] will get you back between games 61 and 67 so I give you 615 to 21 games left so if he comes

[00:30:59] back the likelihood of him playing the remainder of those games some likely will probably pay about

[00:31:06] 70% of those so I get you about 12 the 12 games maybe out of the 20 12 to 14 games and if you're

[00:31:18] so if you watch them tonight Dallas and a lot of teams are notorious for shooting a lot of threes

[00:31:26] Philly had like a 9 to 10 point lead and the Dallas just started pump faking and just going to the cup

[00:31:32] because Moe Bomba they I think they took Moe Bomba out I think they had the bias hairs playing the 4 to 5

[00:31:38] so Dallas just started taking to the cup Kyrie would his layup package grant when you were just trying to do

[00:31:43] his thing uh young guy Josh Green so they just started taking to the cup and I don't know

[00:31:49] how coaches view tape and blue princesses or so on but without NB there

[00:31:55] just as a just a big body they were just taking to the cup and then Max he has to come back down

[00:32:01] and make up for the fact there's no rim protection so you're probably gonna lose I mean

[00:32:10] best case scenario you go you went about 89 of these games if you're lucky

[00:32:17] you know you end up like they he are gonna get better just because they always get better after

[00:32:24] the all star break they just do I think they coast properly and then after the all star break

[00:32:30] they just ramp it up so they're probably going to be around 7 or 8 by the time NB gets back in 4 weeks

[00:32:37] because I don't I don't know what you do unless you just have maxi just go 8 every single game

[00:32:41] and he's dropping he's putting up NB numbers but if he doesn't who does Tobias Harris was a

[00:32:47] give you maybe 16 points yeah I don't even get me started with him uh like I think I think it's just

[00:32:53] it might be it might be more favorable for them to just consider sitting down not making

[00:32:59] that decision yet but at 3.5 weeks if it doesn't look like he can play at all for three more weeks

[00:33:07] well if you can't do any contact for a couple of weeks it's like you just got a way like listen

[00:33:12] we're gonna pay this guy this guy's gonna pay a lot of money we need him we're not a championship team

[00:33:17] I don't see this team making another east anyway so you're looking at a potential second round exit again

[00:33:24] so at least give yourself the excuse of we lost NB we had to sit them down let's regroup

[00:33:31] see I get it and I'm not necessarily fully against it

[00:33:40] yeah I make some bad moves but but you know I don't I don't think that

[00:33:46] that should be the thought going in you know um obviously how long before you would have that

[00:33:52] thought like what what would I think you I think you would just have to see you would have to

[00:33:56] whenever he gets cleared for a contact and cleared for practice and all that I think you just have

[00:34:01] to see and monitor how he looks at that time just like they did at the Denver game where he he was

[00:34:07] there for shoot around and the trainers were the ones that pointed out hey something looks off

[00:34:12] why he doesn't look like himself today they sat him down it's just that with narratives

[00:34:17] he hadn't played in Denver since 2019 so that was easy to jump on you know now it once he gets

[00:34:24] cleared for practice if he's running sets or whatever and you're just like he doesn't seem to have

[00:34:30] any bounce to him or any spring to him you mentioned that he could that they said he couldn't jump

[00:34:34] very well so if he still so if he still looks stiff and like a damn ogre you know what he did like

[00:34:43] you think about that you know but with that being said you know this is a chance now

[00:34:49] for a lot of things to happen because I was looking at the Kia MBA ladder for MVP and he's been number

[00:34:59] one every week of the season until this week where he's been replaced by Nicola and I know a lot

[00:35:06] of people that look like me will be upset that Yoke is number one on that Kia ladder but you know

[00:35:14] we got SGA coming into the chat so this is a chance this is a chance for a new MVP candidate to

[00:35:22] get some shine this is a chance for Luca coming off of 73 and all that to get into the MVP conversation

[00:35:30] if Dallas can start winning some more games this is a chance for Jason Tatum the leader of the best

[00:35:36] team in the NBA to get into the MVP conversation so all the watch lights in

[00:35:44] less not get crazy now you know they look prime they look healthy I mean I probably would

[00:35:52] combine I don't know if he's a 65 game guy but yeah the difference between kawaii and mb is

[00:36:01] they're both hurt all year but kawaii misses his time as we get to the playoffs and closer to

[00:36:07] the playoffs that's the difference yet it's all it's it's a very strange conundrum but you know but

[00:36:12] but I'm excited you know you don't want to see anybody get injured but I'm excited to see what

[00:36:17] Cleveland can do you know with this new opportunity you know I'm excited to see unfortunately I don't

[00:36:23] know I feel like I might gag when I say this but I'm looking forward to see what the nicks can do

[00:36:31] you know so the Pacers are only three and a half back of Philly coming into tonight

[00:36:36] so you know Tari's Hallaburton you mentioned they might be closer to seven or eight

[00:36:41] by the time and b gets back so if he does come back

[00:36:45] to your argument because you're a fan of the plan how exciting does that make the plan

[00:36:50] if joelle and b is fighting for his life so to speak I think the play is exciting off the rip

[00:36:55] just because it is just it's a gamble like you should have made it you should have made it to six

[00:37:02] but now you're in and it's like now we really can be gone because then you start thinking

[00:37:08] because like I think the teams that seven are like you know what man how close will we to six

[00:37:16] should I have played that road game in Portland that we dropped or we let let Detroit get one

[00:37:24] and now we're seven instead of six like little things like that I think that doubt kind of creeps in

[00:37:30] that's why the 10 I like the 10 in that matchup because or like I like the eight in that matchup

[00:37:37] because the seven is like man we were so close to six and eight like listen man we could beat them

[00:37:43] and we locked in with good to go like we don't have to keep dealing with this this playing stuff

[00:37:47] and these guys are like so but you know but we've seen we've seen LeBron in the play-in obviously

[00:37:53] last year we saw what Miami did last year we've seen Stefan the play-in you know we've seen

[00:37:58] John Morant in the play-in so and b being in the play-in wouldn't necessarily be a shocker from the

[00:38:05] standpoint of he's too big for the play-in so I think I think that would add a new element you know

[00:38:11] that even though I'm not a fan of the play-in you know that would be something that I might be

[00:38:16] ready to tune into to see and be with pressure on you know because for all it's it's a perfect

[00:38:22] win in your end you know so now you know being that him and Kyrie are the first real notable

[00:38:35] scratches from the award races because they both missed enough games that they're not going to be

[00:38:40] eligible for all NBA and those type of things so now you know I'm interested in the talk around

[00:38:47] it because I know we talked about Tyree's Halliburton a little while ago and how I'm for the role

[00:38:54] but I don't like it being tied to the contract yeah they should have probably they I don't

[00:39:00] know what the NBA PA was thinking I don't know if this it just didn't cut into my cuz

[00:39:03] the thing they wanted to smoke weed I don't know I don't think you and I even talked about

[00:39:09] the impact because we talked about John Moran's suspension cost him money

[00:39:14] because he didn't make it all in the NBA team I didn't think about like just the contracts

[00:39:18] and the way they're written and what your future contract can look like

[00:39:24] because of that so when they went to this when they agreed to this 65 game modification

[00:39:30] it should have come with the caveat kind of a midment to your contract listen

[00:39:34] that has nothing to do with my contract like we got to figure out some other kind of language to

[00:39:40] wear you got a guy like to reach Tyree's Halliburton who had a legitimate injury like I mean

[00:39:48] when he slits like he did the splits and if you're not flexible you ran that fast it's like

[00:39:54] you know he shouldn't he shouldn't be penalized as much as it says up to 54 million dollars

[00:40:00] that he can miss out on Fred and that's where the players like like I said earlier a wise man once

[00:40:05] said this meant man didn't screw Bret Hart Bret Hart the players screwed the players you know because

[00:40:13] they allow that they allowed their money to be a part of the conversation you know so I'm on board

[00:40:19] with all NBA MVP awards like that not being given to people who missed all these games and this

[00:40:26] is the problem though Greg Poppavitch was the engineer of Low Management he started this he got

[00:40:33] fined to $250,000 but everybody else ran with it there are consequences to your actions so when

[00:40:42] you decide to sit your players out not only are you hurting your playoff chances or your seating

[00:40:48] chances but you're taking away from the fans you're taking away so at what point

[00:40:56] is it about you to the fact of the detriment of everybody else so what signs do you have that says

[00:41:03] that makes that makes the most sense they don't have any given me a night off from a 48 minute basketball

[00:41:11] game versus giving me two days off from practice Tuesday Wednesday like what's more beneficial to my

[00:41:18] body me not having to come to the building at all and I can sleep in my $15,000 sweetest mattress

[00:41:27] or getting up driving to the building going through treatment going through all these drills is like

[00:41:32] if you go if you plan on sitting me at the game Thursday then just give me two Zayn Wednesday off

[00:41:39] and let me play Thursday but it's like that that has to be less stress on the body than two days of

[00:41:44] practice let's see joelle and be this proof of this because he was low managing he was sitting out

[00:41:51] due to soreness due to back problems due to his feet hurting whatever it might have been

[00:41:57] and look at us now you know say you can't

[00:42:01] legislate and try to cheat injuries out of the game injuries are going to happen

[00:42:07] so that's why we knew when this rule was put into place we knew there would be collateral damage

[00:42:13] there would be people affected like Tyree's Halliburton that maybe didn't deserve to be affected

[00:42:19] that way I was like I said I never really think that I never really think about it like that I just

[00:42:25] thought about more of the sense of well these guys won't win these awards and then the whole

[00:42:33] goat conversations and things like that like who was better because there's gonna there was

[00:42:38] going to be a guy that's gonna play 64 games that was gonna have a better season than the guy

[00:42:43] who plays 66 games and won the award right you know I just figured I thought that would be the

[00:42:48] conversations like let's see but I really think I didn't really think about their contracts

[00:42:53] and how I heard them but that's why I always pushed back to Dremond where he was talking about

[00:42:59] wait till these bombs start when in the awards and see how y'all feel then and it's like

[00:43:04] why you mad at us y'all the ones that didn't want to play like it's gonna be a top guy

[00:43:10] winning the award and let's still be a top guy it'll be Jason Tatum instead of Mbid or it'll

[00:43:14] be Yarnis instead of Mbid like I'm not gonna play like 74 games now and he's gonna have his

[00:43:23] damn near 30 37 and 7 something like that he's gonna he's gonna have the number to support it

[00:43:28] because most of the top guys got a guy like Jalen Brunson these guys are averaging like career

[00:43:34] best career highs they're leading their teams so you're not gonna get uh you know not to pick on

[00:43:40] Steve Nash again for Steve Nash was average on like 16 points and 14 assists some crazy like that

[00:43:46] you won't get somebody like that one in the MVP award because he plays 71 games you're gonna

[00:43:50] get one of these young guys who played 74 75 games average like 26 to 27 points their team is

[00:44:00] gonna be second and third in their conference one of these players still gonna win it which I think

[00:44:05] is what the NBA is somebody like Jimmy Butler cared he can win an MVP but you know I think Jimmy Butler

[00:44:11] just kind of knows that this team is a post all star break push right playoffs team stay fresh

[00:44:20] stay healthy but but it's good play together it's true sports reports is ordered fashion

[00:44:26] I wouldn't complain unless it was somebody like Julius Randall winning the MVP oh my god

[00:44:30] this dude and Julius Randall you know what I mean but again Julius Randall has never put up MVP

[00:44:35] number so what Dre mon said bum you saw my light hem winning MVP with his triple singles

[00:44:42] like to see yeah look who's not letting people on our show now look at that

[00:44:47] let's get Michael Parsons when Jerry Jones big some stop doing his podcast could be a kid

[00:44:51] you know but but back to the sixers real quick um

[00:44:56] you just got a hope because Maxi is having a career year

[00:44:59] so maybe you hope that he has another gear so like you said if they're if they're

[00:45:05] in beat misses 18 games if you could go 11 and set

[00:45:10] not what I brought a night I think why me they beat you saw the other day where but Maxi had

[00:45:16] scored 43 yeah yeah 47 points so some saying yeah I think he scored 50 I think yeah like 50 yeah

[00:45:23] but from what I saw the night it looks like the blueprint because it wasn't like Luca had

[00:45:29] less than 20 I think Carrie had I believe it was 19 maybe it was 22 so it wasn't as if these two

[00:45:37] superstars lit them up like I said sky uh hey you know it had a third 20 point game of the year

[00:45:46] against them because like I said the ball was rotating pump faking and they were just going to the

[00:45:51] lane if they can't adjust to that I mean let's move bomb but can kind of step up and just

[00:45:56] play the defensive version of mb and strictly just do that it don't worry about any kind of

[00:46:02] offense just play like R.E.L. let me just go down here give my mb on try to be a rim protector without

[00:46:08] filing because if you don't have that like I'm first if I'm the team I'm going I'm going to

[00:46:14] the paint every time right and whoever's Maxi's garden because I know he's gonna come down

[00:46:19] to be the offensive weaponry I mean he can't help him out so he has to run in the big bodies all day

[00:46:26] or whatever guy he has I'm just try to take them off the dribbles and my problem wasn't

[00:46:32] when they asked LeBron about playing the Warriors he's saying hey whoever Steph is garden go get a bucket

[00:46:40] yeah just like a better word it's just math it's just based it's only these guys are prime athletes but

[00:46:46] there's only so much energy one person can have right and again this physical even though I know

[00:46:52] people feel like this current age of basketball isn't physical but I mean looking to beat in b7 for

[00:46:57] 2.2.2.5 can you imagine somebody running into a screen with him and then you got to switch it

[00:47:02] after you run into him you got to switch it and then he gets the ball and now he's 22 feet from

[00:47:08] the hoop and he's jab stepping you after you just ran into him I mean like it just it just chaos

[00:47:13] well without that that's such a huge such a huge loss for Philly and I feel back because I

[00:47:21] like I said Philly the fans of passion they're crazy they really really really wanted championship

[00:47:27] they really want success I think they love they put a statue up to Nick Fnick-Fulls

[00:47:32] like they really love they love Rocky Rocky's imaginary like is a story he's not a real person

[00:47:39] but because he's such a winner and a grinder like it's kind of implies the city and beat is that way

[00:47:46] that's gonna be his car weather it just shout out the car well no but yeah like uh uh yeah that's

[00:47:53] what Philly's on and that's why they're one of my favorite cities you know because I'm a sports guy

[00:47:58] in their sports town so you know speaking of sports we're talking about sports so let's get into

[00:48:04] another sport the NFL yeah the carousel has calmed down all the hit-go-to-go positions has been

[00:48:12] filled we've had some coordinator movement still going on yes so it's a couple teams that don't

[00:48:18] have any coordinators yeah so mr. logical who won the coaching carousel who lost the coaching

[00:48:26] carousel i'm gonna say i'm gonna say to chargers like i think because Harball was the big fish

[00:48:35] having Justin Herbert so they can thank Miami for taking two of them back in the day because

[00:48:40] I essentially sealed their harbor because I without Herbert I don't know if you if I don't know

[00:48:46] why he would go on track of they are yeah yeah as a team um so i think that works and he does have

[00:48:53] a track record of turning teams around any NFL surprisingly for how difficult it is of a league

[00:49:01] to be successful the turn around is pretty substantial so you have 14 teams make the playoffs

[00:49:08] every year like 18s from the previous year don't make it

[00:49:14] so you have an opportunity there and you can this you can kind of you can almost pencil in

[00:49:25] Kansas City to win the West potentially but if all is walking get it there and have an impact but I

[00:49:32] think you know the chargers could be a five-seat some of the other moves New England hiring Mayo

[00:49:39] I like the fact that they hired you know black coaches and these guys get a chance to you know show

[00:49:45] what they can do i'm just not sure if the philosophy is gonna be different enough

[00:49:51] like i don't know what other types of pieces he will bring in it's like when i go home and i

[00:49:56] watch my dad cook i come back here and i want to cook i call him it's like this guy raised me

[00:50:04] to where i am now so like and he's heavily influenced in my in where i cook so i'm gonna call him

[00:50:10] he'll like do this this is this so Mayo was influenced so heavily by Bill Bella check the likelihood

[00:50:16] of him coming in with the shahmic they kind of attitude towards game plan is unlikely so I think

[00:50:22] you're gonna kind of get the same maybe to be better maybe because he's younger he can get a little

[00:50:27] bit more of an influence this game is still going on maybe maybe a little bit more influence

[00:50:33] talking about the lake or clippers hawks hawks down three one forty seven one forty four in regulation

[00:50:43] so hey hey can we get this to hundred point two in a play game

[00:50:49] and Paul joins message us up i don't know it ate the playoffs though he might not show up tonight

[00:50:54] right playoff he did they have a file to give that was those oh they just filed James Harden he's

[00:51:00] a good freezer shooter i don't know about that move but uh i like i like Vegas

[00:51:06] keeping pierce i think it just it was just worth it it just was worth it it just was worth

[00:51:11] to see how this plays out because while these other coaches you're just hoping that it works with

[00:51:19] your team getting that snapshot of pierce last season beaten the cheese in arrowhead

[00:51:26] the sixty five points they put up on the chargers i think it just you like you know what i've seen

[00:51:32] enough here uh this is something that doesn't make any sense i'm i think i brought up the last

[00:51:38] show when people say oh you hired a defensive coach you know you got to draft these shun quarterback

[00:51:43] how is he going to be able to help like these are defensive coaches gonna hire offence coordinator

[00:51:49] offensive coordinator can help the quarterback grow like the head coach doesn't have to be the only

[00:51:55] person water in the the proverbial flowers of talent on the team so if you need a

[00:52:01] what's going on here watching this oh and that's ballgame

[00:52:06] 149 144 clippers beat the hawks in Atlanta so that close Seattle going to make Donald

[00:52:13] people say oh you went from defense coach another fence coach yeah it's like the only it's

[00:52:17] 50 50 shot you're either gonna get a defensive coach or an offensive coach

[00:52:22] Andy Reeb been offensive coaches great the reason it looks like it's a wonderful move is because he

[00:52:27] has a top-flight quarterback uh shaman durmit looks like it's a bad move but he says a top-flight

[00:52:34] quarterback but he doesn't always make game time winning place anything with Danny Campbell and

[00:52:38] Jerk off Jerk off is a very very good quarterback it just these guys don't always make the winning

[00:52:43] plate but home seems to put itself in position to make winning plays Lamar john harbors a special

[00:52:49] teams coach I don't even know if he was considered all of his defense but you just bring you just

[00:52:54] bring in the right you bring in the right coaches and and coordinators and weapons around him

[00:53:00] and then you let him handle it Eric man genie says some pretty interesting it was like a defensive

[00:53:06] head coach when he comes in he's more likely to allow the offensive coaches to use the early

[00:53:16] draft picks on the best available offensive players because he feels as a defensive coach

[00:53:25] the pieces we have in place here I can make it work and the pieces we can we get late I can

[00:53:30] make it work because my scheme defensively I can teach and I can make it work whereas I'm gonna

[00:53:35] give you an opportunity to get there could be a six five defensive end at 12 or six five y receiver

[00:53:43] at 12 I'ma let you get the y receiver at 12 that's rated you know top 15 on the draft boards

[00:53:50] and we can go get another guy in the third round that I can make a good defensive end with my scheme

[00:53:58] so it's all about balance on making it work because Kansas City has a top two defense and lead

[00:54:03] with Eric being to me the past couple of years and ADR this year like these guys are all

[00:54:11] offensive coaches but Chris Jones is probably one of the most dominant defensive tackles

[00:54:16] Sean Gavey offensive coach but Jalen Ramsey and Aaron Donna won him a ring so it's just like

[00:54:24] that kind of thing so I think Carol a lot of put themselves in position where they're gonna be

[00:54:29] fire net coach within the year and a half and draft their quarterback I think Tennessee made a good

[00:54:36] move hiring a legacy guy so like I said he could do the shanty hand thing where he can just kind of

[00:54:41] maybe hire his dad as a consultant maybe just make an unofficial consultant just kind of get that

[00:54:46] that old school you know information but yeah I mean you are you already know my feelings on Atlanta

[00:54:55] and the Washington move I'm not really sure about with Quinn and he hasn't really retained the

[00:54:59] offensive coordinator yet so that's up that's up for you like what do you think because that's just

[00:55:03] what I ran it all long enough I like it I don't I wasn't I'm not a fan of Dan Quinn I like the

[00:55:12] coordinators that he hired you know I'm good with Cliff Kingsbury seeing what he's done with quarterbacks

[00:55:20] in the past you know so as a team that's in position to draft a young quarterback or if they

[00:55:27] decided to stick with Stan Hollow whichever happens you know I feel confident that he can get

[00:55:34] something out of them not that be enemy couldn't but now with the offseason where you can go get

[00:55:40] free agents tool around the team you give Clint you give Clint you get Clint's very I better start

[00:55:47] in the enemy head you know I think that with the defensive coordinator hire I like him a lot

[00:55:56] I've heard nothing but great things obviously he was a secondary coach so defensive back is my

[00:56:02] favorite position so you know I like that but from what I've been hearing from talking to

[00:56:08] cowboy fans and just their overall talents it made me feel a lot better about it they still don't

[00:56:15] like Dan Quinn per se but I think I'm fighting my own inner bias because whenever I think of Dan

[00:56:22] you know what I think about I'm not gonna say it again but you know what I think about

[00:56:26] and you know I also don't know if he's a builder per se because we know him as the architect of

[00:56:35] the Legion of Bone but Pete Carroll pretty much put that team together he was the head coach

[00:56:41] and ran that team and everybody was also GM yeah he was the GM Dan Quinn was able to just focus on

[00:56:48] that I don't know if you mean the Pete Carroll game right I don't want to do it Atlanta Atlanta's

[00:56:56] defense wasn't very it wasn't great like whole like no they were 27 years that they made the

[00:57:02] Super Bowl but because they started also poorly early in a year that what they end up doing was

[00:57:10] he kind of dumped it down later in a year because I believe at one point so after about

[00:57:19] I think after about 10 weeks they were six and four on a belief I believe they had to buy

[00:57:26] and in that he was like you know what I'm gonna get rid of some of this stuff I just want you young

[00:57:33] guys to play fast everybody just get to the ball try to get the ball out so they started causing

[00:57:39] more turnovers you saw it in the in-it-see championship game and in the Super Bowl they had the

[00:57:44] strip they strip the Gary Blunt and they had to pick six so just was like just play fast just

[00:57:51] play fast I'll figure out how to teach you guys this stuff this next off season right now these

[00:57:55] 10 games in we have a high-flying offense just play fast bend don't break maybe get a turnover

[00:58:02] in the red zone and they cause a couple against Green Bay to turnovers in the red zone and then

[00:58:06] the Falcons came down that's why boys shut up shut out to Ray Ramos what we're Ramos do

[00:58:17] back to Korea PRD that means so that was that was my coon saun connect so appreciate that yeah

[00:58:26] the it's tough when your season ends twice the way Dan Quinn seasons have ended like these

[00:58:33] not necessarily like the San Francisco losses but the even the Green Bay last 23 the Green Bay loss

[00:58:42] they were so bad that it looks it makes you look like are you a good coach or were you in a good

[00:58:50] circumstance wow coachy right so so that's what I'm afraid of that's what I'm afraid of but

[00:58:59] conversely you know that's my word when I'm typing papers and stuff

[00:59:03] personally you know um I like self-sequent leave that's I use that a lot I love McDonald's

[00:59:10] McDonald is the coach that I wanted apparently the commanders made an offer but then

[00:59:15] Seattle backed up the brink struck him was like we'll take him off your hands or whatever so

[00:59:22] what they give them did they give him this 15 I didn't see I didn't see the numbers I just saw

[00:59:27] reports that were saying that Washington was pretty close to signing them but then Seattle offered more

[00:59:32] um I'd like him and I think he's also going to the most playoff ready team you know they were a game

[00:59:42] away from the playoffs this year if some things would happen in week 18 you know they have

[00:59:48] the defense of backs in place with with us fold and woolen you know to be able to at least do

[00:59:54] the back end stuff that he did in Baltimore what I like about him is that with his scheme

[01:00:01] Baltimore was able to leave the league and sacks and generate pressure without necessarily having

[01:00:08] the blitz correct so with that shows me is that he's good at adjustments you know he thinks outside

[01:00:16] the box if something's not going right unlike Todd Bucket on offense that's sick that second half

[01:00:22] against Kansas City or Kansas City came all like gang buses in the first half right and we can say

[01:00:27] like I said I know I personally said like I think they were just kind of playing the odds of

[01:00:31] we're up to possessions Baltimore is not adjusting to our defense let's not let's not give

[01:00:39] Baltimore any momentum let's not throw that pass like it's tipped and intercepted it

[01:00:43] let's just let's just milk this clock but he even a run game it was they were filleting his gaps

[01:00:49] and he brought you started bringing Hamilton in the box more towards the second half is like you

[01:00:53] know take him out of coverage because they're not throwing it just come to the box and he was he

[01:00:57] was wrapped to check out a particular tough guy to bring down him to real quick with in the back

[01:01:02] field that whole second half so see the way his season ended you have optimism in Seattle

[01:01:09] like okay this guy does know he doesn't you know he has a scheme that works whereas Dan Quinn is like

[01:01:17] we don't know if your scheme works right we don't know if you can handle big moments like

[01:01:22] you know Ray is a that just comedy he's a cowboys fan big cowboys fan so

[01:01:28] you know I'm they're pretty sure they happy he's gone because they feel like he chokes

[01:01:33] the problem is they're gonna have to keep that and that's going to be a bad way about that

[01:01:38] I know Dallas Mike always likes to bring up Dan Quinn's record against

[01:01:44] you know his former former head coaches or whatever yeah you're just like that yeah so we'll

[01:01:50] see how that works out in the future but um but yeah I like McDonald now Seattle has a decision to make

[01:01:56] are we gonna go through another year of Gino Smith and groom someone or are we going to stick with Gino

[01:02:05] so they have that decision to make they got two good running backs Kenneth Walker and Zach

[01:02:10] Charbonne so I think Seattle's set up in a good position if McDonald is what I think he is

[01:02:17] you know the chargers go without saying um you know they obviously have that mountain called Mahomes

[01:02:25] to climb in their division you know but they have talent they've always had talent throughout

[01:02:31] the last few years I just don't think they had the coach that was able to maximize their talent

[01:02:38] what I don't like about Harbaugh is he went back to the well and brought in his boy Greg Roman

[01:02:46] and I just think that the league has changed since Kaepernick was terrorizing people

[01:02:53] you know we saw Greg Roman in Baltimore and we saw how that went so I'm not sure

[01:03:00] how I feel about that um like that too I just saw his facial hair

[01:03:05] and I was like I didn't like his decision making it just based off of that oh yeah

[01:03:10] yeah I don't know I don't I understand stability and familiarity but

[01:03:21] I don't know what Greg Roman and Justin Herbert I don't know if that work that looks like yeah

[01:03:29] um if you want to have Herbert out here you want to read options and John to look like Josh Allen

[01:03:35] you know I mean I just I didn't I didn't think Baltimore's past the game was every dynamic I thought

[01:03:42] Lamar was essentially only throwing the Titans because they had Hayden Hurst at one point and Mark

[01:03:48] Andrews and another Titan they were rolling a lot of three Titans sets similar to the Kaepernick

[01:03:54] offense with uh was the one named Vernon Davis uh huh um and you know so I think they would just

[01:04:02] if you're gonna run that kind of offense I don't know if it's gonna work if you're trying to bring

[01:04:09] this Michigan toughness muscle can unlock her rescue I had high expectations J.E.

[01:04:16] his review his rookie year was a great year because I think he just he was playing thanks for the

[01:04:20] comment uh Ramos I think he's playing great because he there I don't know if there was any expectations

[01:04:26] for the team he just kind of got thrown in air week one when the doctor punches long I'm like I don't

[01:04:31] know how a doctor performs that poorly I think Tyra sued him I don't know what the outcome of that was

[01:04:37] maybe it was three I like I like I like Justin Herbert but I think what you what we get is that

[01:04:46] he might have had he might have had the that Nick Foles 27 touchdowns two pick year

[01:04:55] and now I'm using one of your free he might be coming back to the mean where he's just

[01:05:00] he's gonna be your 23 to 26 touchdowns eight to 12 picks a year guy uh Jim Harbaugh is going to be

[01:05:10] the best thing that ever happened it's a Justin Herbert outside of the fact that he's a former quarterback

[01:05:15] he's a coach that emphasizes the run so you know you got Herbert out here throwing more passes

[01:05:22] in his first couple of seasons than Peyton Manning did but for what and to only get 25 touchdowns

[01:05:29] when you threw 700 passes to begin with so I'm like 50 50 passes and have like 20 points at end of

[01:05:34] the game yeah so they're they're in cap hell right now so I imagine that Austin Eccler's gonna go

[01:05:40] they still have Joshua Kelly you know we'll see if they half the big moves because I think I saw

[01:05:47] they were like 45 million over the cap or something like that so and his story believe that the

[01:05:53] fan knows family they don't spend they've been talked about as a team that doesn't uh ownership

[01:05:59] group that doesn't spend a lot of money right but maybe that's different because it's not

[01:06:06] against a salary cap no I don't think that's real what they expect I mean they hired Brandon Staley

[01:06:11] last time it was a good pick considering the typical path that most teams do they hire

[01:06:21] the one of the better teams one of the final four teams coordinators as their head coach there's

[01:06:27] almost like those eight guys that make it to the championship round can pretty much expect phone

[01:06:34] calls from every available right slot you know just that's just pretty standard well I'm just

[01:06:40] to see what they do because I was thinking that they're gonna have to probably come off of somebody

[01:06:43] like Khalil Mac they're gonna have to you gotta find a contender like is Buffalo willing to give you

[01:06:50] a fourth and a fifth for Khalil Mac just to kind of sure up just that we got it go for it now yeah so

[01:06:57] I'm thinking I'm gonna be looking for the chargers in about two years from now you know uh they

[01:07:04] could make the playoffs this year if they can get the run game going but I think we're two years

[01:07:11] away from them really I think I think I think they have I think they have a competent quarterback in

[01:07:17] place that's I mean if you think about was it 32 teams you probably got about 12 guys that you

[01:07:24] gonna be like all right this this team is locked in minutes you know like if you just think

[01:07:29] about all the teams if you go AFC Buffalo's pretty well locked in Kansas cities locked in Cincinnati

[01:07:38] Cincinnati's locked in Baltimore's locked in my hand is locked in Miami might have to figure out

[01:07:47] a contract situation with two of cuz he might get franchise sag and that's that's that's

[01:07:53] nearly 50 million right now uh-huh might as well send him yes so I do have franchise UNC

[01:08:01] what we got for you 50 years so we'll give it we'll give them that because they they have to do

[01:08:06] something so they're I think they're pretty much locked in uh Jacksonville I think they're

[01:08:11] pretty much solid at QB so that's seven out of the 16 uh-huh so in Utah Justin in there so you

[01:08:18] got so half so half the AFC is pretty much locked everybody else is kind of in shambles so I think

[01:08:24] just that alone just being one of eight teams that's fully sure at the quarterback position in your

[01:08:29] division should get you a shot for five six or seven in the playoffs right because you because

[01:08:40] Indy they don't know who they they're gonna run with Garner Monshoe 10 to see who are they gonna

[01:08:46] run it with Cleveland DeShon his injury history was going on there uh Pittsburgh does not have

[01:08:53] a quarterback so like you have an opportunity with a coach that seems to have a very simple game plan

[01:08:59] I mean JJ McCarthy's talked about as being a top draft pick and I can't think of a game where he

[01:09:04] had to throw Michigan the victory because like the way that they operate and if Justin Herbert

[01:09:11] can get that kind of set up to where he can just they can dunk and throw 28 to 32 passes

[01:09:18] and they can run the ball for 130 140 yards game I think you got a shot yeah I agree with you on

[01:09:24] Carolina um and I saw that they're retaining their defensive coordinator today you know so uh but

[01:09:30] as I look at the head coaching higher he's been around the league uh David Canalis he's been

[01:09:36] around the league he has experience but this was his first year as an offensive coordinator I think

[01:09:41] people are jumping the gun and trying to give him too much credit for Baker Mayfield's turn around

[01:09:49] when Baker Mayfield was a good quarterback that just had a loss yeah he just had a loss and so

[01:09:57] so I think that Carolina jumped the gun because they thought hey we could get the guy that fixed

[01:10:02] Baker Mayfield to come in here with our rookie and he could throw more than 11 touchdowns next year

[01:10:09] so like yeah he should throw more than 11 touchdowns because hopefully you'll get some damn

[01:10:13] receivers but yeah I was talking about this that worked today every young quarterback needs a big

[01:10:19] target because that a coach worker is Buffalo Bill's fan uh kind of let him you know rest for

[01:10:24] a couple of weeks since they lost uh but he came and asked me he's like what I thought of you know

[01:10:28] the Raheem Moore's higher and I was like he's like and I was like I wish he was he's like he just

[01:10:34] was block move it just was like a underwhelming move I'm like that's what I figured they were going

[01:10:40] to do they're gonna post all these things about all these people to interview and and they go get

[01:10:43] some random special teams coaches the head coach and he was on that Dan Quinn staff yeah so

[01:10:49] and I what I said about the Atlanta he was like I'd be on the phone with Chicago trying to get

[01:10:53] Justin Fields and I was like because Atlanta has big targets Mac Holland's

[01:11:00] John Smith Calpitz Drake London 636465 hey quarter royale is tall but they use them as a running back

[01:11:09] and he's I think he's 6'4 and then you have uh Benjamin Robinson's dynamic outback like I said

[01:11:16] I wouldn't have drafted a running back eight but you have these dynamic you have LG so just that

[01:11:21] if you can keep all those skill position guys I don't know what the money's gonna cost I don't

[01:11:25] know what Johnny Smith's contract is looking like but you can keep all those guys and you can get

[01:11:30] Justin Fields you know you know what Atlanta had to care a lot of needs carolina needs that big

[01:11:36] six foot five target where when he has to roll out of pocket because it's collapsing on him

[01:11:42] get it to this big target because that's what Baker may feel ahead you know what Atlanta you know

[01:11:47] what Atlanta with Justin Fields could be they could be with Baltimore thinks they are

[01:11:54] ooh I like that you keep it 100 like if Baker may feel wasn't do a bunch of money

[01:12:00] I think he could do damage with that you gotta bring him back you gotta bring him back in Atlanta

[01:12:06] I don't know if you can bring him in at 30 million a year 35 million a year because I think

[01:12:12] that's gonna be his number I think he's like a three year 105 deal I think that I think that's

[01:12:17] the good number for him I don't know if is I don't know if you got a swag back and feels like my swag

[01:12:24] is worth 40 million a year and you're like you're trying to give me 30 million dollars but my swag

[01:12:30] says is 40 and he has another situation when he has to leave but three years 105 I see I think

[01:12:35] that's a realistic number for him so Antonio Pierce play time is over you know I like Antonio

[01:12:45] Pierce I'm wishing them the best but now the rubber has to meet the road you know what coordinator

[01:12:51] hire is he going to make you know he had Cleansbury we thought and they Cleansbury pulled out at

[01:12:57] the last minute so where do you go do you go be enemy from there or like you know but

[01:13:03] is the Cleansbury pull out because Washington's gonna move up the one to get Caleb Williams

[01:13:08] maybe you know but with Pierce see you talked about uh Jarek Mayo and Bill Bellichet

[01:13:17] Pierce's old head is her mailbox so you know so does he have that harm in him both

[01:13:25] probably I'm looking at this from a positive and a negative standpoint where her

[01:13:29] can motivate you but then eventually it doesn't transmit victories yeah yeah you tune them out

[01:13:36] because last year the Raiders weren't good you know he just motivated them he just spoke to them

[01:13:44] he related to them I believe what was made hard for him so Jimmy G was Jimmy G a Josh McDaniel's

[01:13:53] decision he had to be with the whole new England background

[01:13:56] because it just seems as if but he got hooked through that they didn't even ask Jimmy

[01:14:04] if he was ever like ready to play like you normally like when a quarterback is backing up

[01:14:10] and he comes off of injury every week all we talk about is hey are you gonna be in the start line

[01:14:17] up blah blah blah blah I don't think I ever heard any conversations about Jimmy G ever starting again

[01:14:23] I seen him on a siren as a lighting shoulder patch yeah and you just was

[01:14:27] continuing just smiling over there just looking to hand some happy me to back

[01:14:30] they stood the rest of the year starting a fifth round draft pick who you know nothing he didn't

[01:14:36] he didn't want to do it who got sacked six times in his first game you know but you're

[01:14:41] pretty the ball young man but uh but you know but as I look at this are the Raiders

[01:14:46] in the market to draft the quarterback or do you try to run it back with Jimmy G potentially

[01:14:52] all right let me take the draft order and see you know it did you know on top of that uh

[01:14:59] Tennessee Brian Callahan you know I like your point about higher in his dad

[01:15:05] I just don't know what to expect like I said like he didn't call his plays is sister daddy

[01:15:10] Zach Taylor did all the play calling so I have actually we have no idea about this guy you

[01:15:15] know he's 39 so you hope that he's another big day young prodigy that once he has his

[01:15:21] opportunity he's going to shock the world but as we like to look at look at the division he's

[01:15:29] he's in there with strouled in Lawrence he's in there with affidy Richardson once he gets back

[01:15:35] you know so these other three teams in their division aren't established the cult to get a few

[01:15:39] defensive pieces in there uh he used to keep adding to the defense jacksville you know I think jacksville

[01:15:47] is pretty good right now they ran into some injury issues late so you're

[01:15:52] you're talking about potentially be in the situation where they're coming to the season with their

[01:15:57] coach their coach on the hot seat and questions about their quarterbacks

[01:16:07] winning DNA because I know he won a lot in high school and in college but it's like okay

[01:16:13] have you hit your ceiling because now they got to pay him because his money his money conversations

[01:16:18] coming up right so it was like how are you how are you going to pay him because he is he looks the

[01:16:23] part of a Josh Allen Justin Herbert level extension and kind of quarterback like I don't think

[01:16:30] he's going to get the three year 105 that Baker's going to get right team that draft to use your

[01:16:35] first extension it's going to be huge is it before that gets his four year 240 or four year

[01:16:43] 220 of whether that number is and then you kind of base off of that and then now he gets a five

[01:16:48] year yeah so it could be crazy is Will Levis's ego manageable because some people are just fired up

[01:17:02] I know a lot of football players like I said I had two of my sons played football one is very level

[01:17:07] headed even when he gets a strip sack or the team gets a pick six he comes over to the sideline

[01:17:15] he's checking with the defensive coordinator checking the the Microsoft service tablet

[01:17:20] to see what the play was see how it happened he's super methodical my other son

[01:17:25] flashy tapes his wrist the towel the visor he does all the flash stuff good football player

[01:17:33] he's just different he likes to throw the bombs when he's playing quarterback or he likes to run

[01:17:38] over guys when he's playing running back and he's lying back he's going for the strip sack like

[01:17:42] he's out there to make plays that are impactful so he can do his little celebration of

[01:17:48] afterwards two different personalities same sport nearly they I think they played the same position

[01:17:54] for a lot of times to like rent like the heavy running back big running back and outside linebacker

[01:18:00] played it completely different Will Levis does not have Trevor Lawrence kind of like calm during

[01:18:07] success he throws a deep touchdown it's chess bumps and helmets off all of this all these theatrical

[01:18:14] stuff is like but he's the same way when he throws an interception is the same way when the

[01:18:21] you know jahopkins in the run a right route correctly what they would they miscommunicate it

[01:18:25] can he funnel that in because if he can't it's going to be a it's going to be a rough year because

[01:18:31] that ego from a young guy who's when he was a late-round pick he kind of got the the claim because

[01:18:38] he just looks the part and he ain't going to have that hole in case of emergency anymore either

[01:18:45] or make a carick Henry to make life easier for him yeah the yeah they're gonna be huge huge loss but

[01:18:55] Carolina this is how you go get a player like that you go get a veteran that you can just have your

[01:19:02] young quarterback give the ball to 18 times a game get him a screen pass get him off the neckler

[01:19:10] you know same thing you just you got to make these moves to make it easier on the young guy

[01:19:19] that's it already a complicated position we saw that we saw it a little head helmet camp footage of

[01:19:23] two and training camp right you ever see it with yeah excuse me so it was like I didn't realize

[01:19:30] like how difficult it is to see because we let that ball go it was like how do you know that

[01:19:37] just do it's open but and it moves so fast get him somebody in the middle of field that can make

[01:19:44] it easy but like I said can Callahan rain in the the ego and the zeuberance of uh well lovers

[01:19:53] and then finally the one thing um you know you brought up Mayo and Bella check

[01:19:59] correct you know is Mayo going to be an extension of Bella check

[01:20:03] uh what what out of doubt we don't call it now it's going to look exactly the same well I think

[01:20:08] I would like to think obviously we don't have any proof because we haven't seen it yet

[01:20:13] I would like to think that the age difference would play a role here where it might look slightly

[01:20:20] different like it's not going to be too different as far as it looks like a Ferrari and now it

[01:20:27] looks like a Cambry you know I don't think we're going to go that far along

[01:20:31] you know what I mean but yeah formally of Cleveland

[01:20:38] yeah it's gonna look exactly the same because

[01:20:41] we're not having seen Cleveland with uh even with Oda Beckham Jr. and Baker Mayfield that year

[01:20:48] that they made that playoff run Baker was not there like

[01:20:52] you're not even losing uh Steven Bellicet

[01:20:56] no because I think he probably knows as much about the New England style defenses

[01:21:03] Mayo does Mayo played it and then he also coached it under Bella check

[01:21:08] so playing it seeing it can speak to why it works and then knowing the ends and out of it as a

[01:21:14] coach is different than Steve I mean at the end of the day they just got to put talent in

[01:21:20] New England is when it comes down to you know if they're going to keep Matt Jones I don't know if

[01:21:24] they are or not I don't think they are but whoever their quarterback is needs targets and somebody

[01:21:30] to throw to outside of something called Juju you know um they're going to need I don't know if

[01:21:36] they're bringing Zeke back you know they have Ramon they Steve Ramon Dre Stevenson

[01:21:43] but I don't know if Zeke's going to come back as well you know uh they they just have a bad team

[01:21:49] is what it comes down to so even if they kept Bella checking out the year

[01:21:56] ever place some parts it would it go well so this is a rebuild in every sense of the word

[01:22:03] so Steve Bellicet went to Washington the University of Washington yes under Jed Fish who was

[01:22:09] the quarterback when he stood into me I thought he was Washington commanders because when you sent

[01:22:16] it I thought I thought he was going to command I was like well that's why that's why I said really

[01:22:24] no no he's going with Jed Fish like I said Jed Fish was the quarterbacks coach for the

[01:22:29] Patriots in 2020 so they have that connection you know so yeah we'll see we'll see you know but

[01:22:38] yeah um I think that a lot of teams that hired coaches this year they put a most part they did

[01:22:46] the right thing I don't know if they got the right person but they did the right thing because

[01:22:51] I think McDonald provides a certain stability and Seattle that like he's not Pete Carroll

[01:22:57] but I view him as stable you know Washington has the worst defense in the league they

[01:23:03] winning out of the fits of God of either hand coach you know um the Patriots have only known this type

[01:23:09] of success under Bill Bellicet they hired a Bella check the site even though I think they should

[01:23:14] have moved a different direction they hired a Bella check the cycle familiarity what they know

[01:23:20] Tennessee has a young quarterback they brought in an office of coordinator you know Carolina

[01:23:25] I don't know what they were thinking but they got a young quarterback they brought in an office

[01:23:29] of coordinator um the chargers need a leader and they went out and got a leader yeah their last

[01:23:37] couple of coaches have it really and I think being an LA and you know like the hierarchy of sports in

[01:23:46] LA the charges aren't high on it they might be hired in anhymingels maybe slightly maybe well maybe

[01:23:54] now because show haze gone but not when show haze was still there yeah so they they needed something

[01:24:00] and like I said that was the big fish they they had they had the biggest trump card in all of the

[01:24:07] available teams I think where he morse I like that he got the job I just don't know how well

[01:24:17] it's gonna fare for him because I think it's gonna I think I don't say short leased because

[01:24:25] that's just like smith as a dog I just don't understand how long he will be able to rebuild considering

[01:24:35] that he was part of the the regime before so I don't know how much time he's gonna get right

[01:24:41] like doesn't really fire coaches I mean Arthur Smith got three years and he should have been fired

[01:24:46] at the end of last season because I like this is not working but the fact that where he morse didn't

[01:24:55] get hired the last cycle when they interviewed guys after they fired Dan Quinn and then you bring

[01:25:01] him in after you hired a guy that you shouldn't have hired anyway I don't know I just don't know how long

[01:25:07] that relationship lasts I don't I just unless he's feel like you know what we made a mistake by not

[01:25:12] hiring you three years ago don't mind me I'm trying to practice I'm practicing saying this name

[01:25:18] that okay all right so but yeah like I said Carolina yeah unless they this guy must be cheap

[01:25:28] because I believe he is still pain do we I think yes they're not in that role they're

[01:25:38] right in this guy yeah uh-huh um of course I think they fired a coordinator some

[01:25:45] pre-short contracts kind I think they fired Joe Brady because he hired him out of LSU

[01:25:51] yeah great like the Buffalo yep so maybe they're not still paying him because he got another job

[01:25:56] I know the NBA is kind of like that where if you get another job then your old team doesn't have to pay

[01:26:02] you uh but yeah I mean I'm excited to see it because I think all these teams do the bit of an

[01:26:09] overall couple of them are gonna make the playoffs as someone always ones yeah I mean

[01:26:17] that's the exciting part I mean obviously you know in about uh 27 days or so

[01:26:25] it'll be the month of March so we'll get into free agency and then we'll come back and reevaluate

[01:26:32] there you go who we've got it who's gonna land Khalil Mac and Stefan Gilmore to their defense because I think

[01:26:38] Washington the boss I say go for it man make for the fences but uh yeah so uh college football

[01:26:48] got some drama going on you have the attorney generals of the states of Tennessee and Virginia

[01:26:56] sui dnc double a because the nc double a is trying to enforce guidelines as if they are rules

[01:27:04] what this bulls doubt to is Tennessee's recruitment of all right here we go

[01:27:10] Nico Yamaliyaba okay you know there you go you know Yamaliyaba I'm gonna say Nico Nico at QB

[01:27:21] Nico I don't know how you got to Tennessee I don't know how you get to get to get from California co-play for

[01:27:26] in Tennessee hey it just means more but uh but you know so allegedly what's going on here is

[01:27:34] Tennessee was talking to Nico about NIL tight things before he committed to Tennessee and they did

[01:27:42] some other things that the nc double a frowns upon why is this important because a couple of years ago

[01:27:49] former Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt got in trouble for some recruiting violations and

[01:27:54] Tennessee does not want to become a repeat offender because there's extra penalties and things

[01:27:59] that come with that if they're found guilty of this now we've seen the nc double a in action

[01:28:05] over the past few months my beloved seminoles of course you know offensive coordinator Alex

[01:28:12] Akins got caught allegedly doing or I shouldn't say allegedly they got punished for some NIL

[01:28:20] and proprieties so just to give you an idea of some of those probation items because people

[01:28:26] always say they're on probation but what the hell does that mean I'm not gonna read all of these

[01:28:31] bullet points because it's probably probably about 12 of them but I've been just hit on a couple level

[01:28:36] so they have to get education on nc double a compliance and form and prospects in the football

[01:28:45] program and writing about all the violations so they have to educate the coaches

[01:28:50] coaches have to educate the players so on so forth about the violations

[01:28:55] the head coach or I'm sorry the assistant coach involved has a two-year show cause

[01:29:01] so usually in those scenarios that's a coach without a job that can't be hired by other teams

[01:29:08] you know so he got his own punishment there they are they are on a restriction

[01:29:15] for that coach to recruit during the fall of this past season so he couldn't do any recruiting

[01:29:21] this past year so he's a coach that can't be hired can't be fired just as a sit in limbo

[01:29:30] well he's spent different three games but if he didn't have a job so for example when Ohio

[01:29:36] State had the thing with Tural prior the tattooed all that stuff Jim Trussell had I believe it was

[01:29:42] a two-year show cause would just meant that nobody went to the NFL right and it didn't very over

[01:29:49] and nobody sat he sat for six games I think it was in the Colts right you know you're talking about

[01:29:55] prior I was talking about Trussell yeah yeah I think Trussell had a raiders he went to the league and then

[01:30:01] like he was the student to spend for six games I was like what kind of not just a game incidentally

[01:30:10] it just popped into my head it was like well that was what was happening was in a high Ohio state

[01:30:14] what I was what was happening with Jim Harbond the thought was that you can't run to the NFL to get

[01:30:20] away from this life we find you guilty the NFL can't doesn't have to can punish you you know which is

[01:30:29] BS on a whole nother level but you know what a good new job you know a partnership you because

[01:30:36] you were late at your last job late at your last job so so basically Tennessee and Virginia said

[01:30:42] we had enough there are no rules to govern NIL we know what NIL is you know as far as these players

[01:30:50] these students can get contracts for their services they can make money off of their name

[01:30:56] and mention like this but there is no regulation so like you know imagine you know being at work

[01:31:04] you don't have a AFI or a AF man you don't have a T.O. you just got a policy letter so your commander says

[01:31:12] this is how I run our PT program well sir there's a whole AFI out here that hopefully you consulted

[01:31:21] before you made your policy letter there's nothing on the books from the NCAA that says NIL you must

[01:31:31] outside of you can't negotiate the NIL deal until the player is on campus so that's where Tennessee

[01:31:40] is getting in trouble here goes that the school can't talk NIL deal with the player right as I'm

[01:31:49] recruiting you I'll come to your living room to try to get you to come to my school I can't talk

[01:31:54] about NIL so I can't tell you that being Alabama starting quarterback has got to net use some money

[01:32:01] put back to you but you're not supposed to you know what I mean so that's a silly unnecessary rule

[01:32:09] but that's the problem is that the whole thing is still set up for the players

[01:32:17] to be the people getting screwed at the end of it so like yeah this coach is on his show cause he's

[01:32:23] going to be suspended three games you know but you got a player like Jayden Rashada you know who

[01:32:29] was supposed to get 13 million or so from Florida if Florida wasn't able to come up with the money

[01:32:35] now he's at Arizona State making obviously probably significantly less than 13 million now the NCAA is

[01:32:43] investigating Florida to figure out what happened with his NIL deal but their head coach Billy

[01:32:51] Napier has come out and stated publicly the NCAA doesn't allow him to share what happened with

[01:32:57] the deal so everything is still behind closed doors and you know my problem with the NIL and all this

[01:33:03] is the collectives because the schools aren't on the hook for paying these players you know fans are

[01:33:11] paying these players boosters and fans are raising money to pay these players so

[01:33:22] you're taking money out of my pocket to get the player that you want and still charging me

[01:33:29] to come to this game and buy season tickets or whatever the case may be

[01:33:33] yeah you know Florida State in the final 12 next year we're going to have to get we're going to have

[01:33:38] to get some of these top 12 guys and one thing that I heard because I was watching um a podcast

[01:33:45] and the no she was how is Missouri getting how is Missouri getting top five player in the country how

[01:33:56] is Texas Tech getting to top 12 quarterback how is well at some point all the schools are going to

[01:34:03] have to eat right you gave the blanket essentially yeah the money should be guaranteed like it's

[01:34:10] it should be it should be part it should be a package deal it should be room board all the hoodies and

[01:34:16] gloves and cleats you get that coming to football team and this is a package deal for our boosters

[01:34:22] right it should be it because because we're acting as if if I go to McDonald's

[01:34:28] and I ordered a combo the guy that registered doesn't say hey we have drinks available

[01:34:37] these are the flavors but I can't give them to you until after I give you this food like the drink

[01:34:44] comes with the meal the money comes with me come to this school so why are we acting as if like

[01:34:51] trying to piss my pocket and somebody's raining we all know that the money comes with you come to

[01:34:55] this school that's the whole point of the NIL you're gonna maximize that so if I am a top 12 guy

[01:35:03] and I'm in my Instagram buzz is big and I'm on these seven on seven circuits or I'm on a lead

[01:35:09] 11 that's on the ESPN because we all knew Trevor Lawrence and Tuah and all these quarterbacks from

[01:35:15] a lead 11 Justin Fields from the Netflix documentaries we saw Spencer Ratler with his Netflix documentary

[01:35:22] when he still wasn't high school so if Netflix can put me on their show or ESPN can put me on TV

[01:35:28] and all these things can happen then I know that when I see patching my homes and the head and

[01:35:34] shoulders commercial it's because the head and shoulders pay patching my home so if you're gonna put

[01:35:38] me on Netflix cut me a check if you're gonna follow me around my high school to put this show on

[01:35:44] cut me a check I'm not doing this for free the same way I know no one does it for free

[01:35:49] Kim Kardashian gets like a million dollars just to post random stuff on Instagram they know that

[01:35:54] these 18 and 19 year old guys that are going to cause they know this money comes along with whatever

[01:36:00] level of fame that they have ascended to right maybe some guys think that they're gonna get this 13

[01:36:05] million and and they commit and they don't do the due diligence to make sure that the booster

[01:36:09] that is potentially assigned to getting that money is good for it I don't know how you fix that

[01:36:14] but I think that's a problem with the player and so forth but we know the money is coming so

[01:36:23] if I'm in California if I'm on a recruiting trip to California and my college is in Colorado

[01:36:31] and I know it's in the snow and I'm trying to get the top quarterback to come to Colorado

[01:36:36] Deans for sure you know that Deans going to get you an NIL deal he's gonna get you Nike cleats

[01:36:42] that are personalized by him they's gonna he'll get you a contact over at Nike for the guy

[01:36:46] yeah congratulations Travis lump we're all your engagement you know absolutely congrats

[01:36:53] but no but you know but for sure masterpal I agree you know like it should be guaranteed

[01:37:00] you know it's a contract we always talk about how players no matter the sport should honor their

[01:37:06] contract everybody involved in the contract should honor the contract you know now I understand

[01:37:11] the NFL you know professional sports is a little different but these are college kids that

[01:37:16] we're talking about you know and the schools are out here collecting all this TV money you know

[01:37:21] basically like the big ten is making what seven billion you know for a crazy money for their

[01:37:30] TV deal is CBS you know but the players aren't getting any of that we ain't turning on the TV to watch

[01:37:36] Tony Petiti Petini who is the big ten commissioner that replaced Kevin Warren you know but now

[01:37:44] the what I like you know is the big ten and the SEC have created an advisory board you know so

[01:37:54] we'll see what that entails but the first thing I think is going to come up is the playoff you

[01:37:59] know as we know playoff is expanding its 12 teams or this next season correct the contract for that

[01:38:08] runs out in 2026 and there has been talk and rumors that Petini in particular wants to make this

[01:38:19] 14 to 16 teams there's been rumors that Sanky the SEC commissioner wants to get rid of the automatic

[01:38:27] bids so I'm at a point where I think the automatic bids are going to go first you know well like this

[01:38:34] is the problem so right now we have six and six you have six automatic bids is six at largest so

[01:38:42] you had your power five conferences to include the pack 12 and your one G five highest ranked G five

[01:38:49] champion and then you were going to have your at largest which was going to be a bunch of big 10

[01:38:55] SEC teams anyway correct you know so by getting rid of the at largest we've been talking about it right

[01:39:02] AFC and FC you get rid of those at large bitches bitches

[01:39:09] those at large bitches those at large at large bids you know you start to phase out the ACC

[01:39:17] you start to phase out the big 12 a little bit where those conferences might get a team and if

[01:39:22] they're undefeated but otherwise it's a SEC big 10 invitation but that's the thing it's it's already

[01:39:31] you know that coming in like it's not about fairness it's about

[01:39:37] matchups people talk about like I said might get off my chest and I fell being rigged

[01:39:42] NC double-a told you when they made this committee nine ten years ago you know we don't care

[01:39:48] about none of that we just want to get we we're trying to fill Dallas stadium we're trying to fill

[01:39:57] the Rose Bowl we're trying to fill the Mercedes Ben Sadie we're trying to fill the

[01:40:04] compressors palace super dome or whatever they call the stadium in New Orleans

[01:40:10] that's what we're trying to we're trying to get three great games out of these four teams

[01:40:15] that's it we don't care about how you feel nothing like so with 12 teams I do like the at large because

[01:40:21] it does give a David versus Goliath potential but the NIL is the piece that's going to allow

[01:40:29] essentially what's gonna allow is players are gonna make good and bad decisions because even without

[01:40:34] money players will make it decision that like I saw you just when yours is example he went to Ohio

[01:40:40] state early just that can I think Justin feels might have still been there and C.D. Stroud was next

[01:40:50] or like at least they had that C.D. Stroud definitely was going to be the starter for sure

[01:40:55] I'm like you love Texas when you could have just finished up high school we left high school early

[01:40:59] graduate early and we're all gonna high on state just to transfer back to Texas aren't you

[01:41:04] manning transfer or pick Texas when they had a guy Quingu who was a number one quarterback in

[01:41:10] a country and they're two years starter so like now you're sitting behind this guy potentially for

[01:41:15] another year so players are gonna make their decisions good, bad, or indifferent and I hate when

[01:41:22] coaches come on try to say we're not really protecting player day I'll know anything about taxes

[01:41:26] what teach me about taxes when they get their money but allow them not to get their money

[01:41:31] you're a institution of higher education yeah you can you have you have a professor economics

[01:41:37] there you have ahead of the economics department they can come teach all the players who got N.A.L.

[01:41:42] money and a tutoring session this is how you do your taxes or whatever they got to do or bring

[01:41:47] an advisor because I'm pretty sure that the highest pay person on that campus probably at

[01:41:53] football coach has a financial advisor just have that guy come teach he's gives that head of

[01:41:57] the money because the the narrative surrounding the players that they're gonna make poor decisions

[01:42:02] they're gonna make poor decisions anyway they're gonna transfer in and out all of the stuff is

[01:42:05] gonna happen the coaches just want the leverage back right they have to doubt cater to like I said

[01:42:16] my own yeah to add to like I said in my own house I had two different personality football players

[01:42:25] one kid might have been good was just coming there and getting a regular N.A.L. deal my other

[01:42:33] son you know he played quarterback as a freshman maybe he'll try it again and maybe you go through

[01:42:39] high school your top rated quarterback the acclaim you get from that is gonna garner a different

[01:42:45] kind of recruiting response right the coaches just have to adjust to the fact that you have to make

[01:42:50] adjustments to your recruiting stance so either you get younger scouts that can relate closer

[01:42:57] to the players and let them be your your messenger and then you come in like the like the CEO

[01:43:07] after you get the scout define the artist you get the artists you get the lawyers get everybody

[01:43:11] together they sign the contract and then you come in and then you make an instruction how you do

[01:43:16] on son I'm coach rightly I'm gonna be your coach for the next four years just separate yourself

[01:43:22] from it completely just hey I want this guy send people out there that can relate you it's like you

[01:43:27] have to make it just it's not gonna be just the way you want it simply because that's how it used

[01:43:32] to be eight nine ten years ago right that's the only thing because it's not that complicated

[01:43:37] of a process all it is saying that you are an athlete and you can get paid for what you do the same

[01:43:45] way if I was a physics physics major I could charge someone 50 bucks a two to them as a football

[01:43:52] player I can now charge a gym in the local area ten thousand dollars for me to be their spokesperson

[01:44:01] and I come there I can do whatever like that's all it is it's not that complicated of a process

[01:44:09] problem is they are promising too much to try to ensure that they get these guys without having

[01:44:15] to recruit them they figure if I just throw money at them then that's gonna be enough and when

[01:44:21] it doesn't work out when you don't have the money and you lose the guy now all of a sudden NIO

[01:44:26] is a problem now send the transfer port as a problem that's why I told you like I can play in

[01:44:31] about the transfer portal they know I can play the way I do those because they get the money

[01:44:35] Alabama's not complaining about the transfer portal they're getting the best the best of things since

[01:44:39] Alabama got affected expect change you know but one piece of news that you will like as well is uh

[01:44:47] so just the attorney general of the state of West Virginia these Virginia is a lot of control

[01:44:52] yeah we like to fight let's be like the fight baby they know went out and got ten other states

[01:44:59] got the nation's capital and then when it got the department of justice to challenge the NCWA

[01:45:06] transfer rules so that's coming to court in 2025 house versus NCWA because they called it quote

[01:45:15] in a legal restraint on college athletes to enact NIL and pursue education because if I don't

[01:45:22] like it at this school I should be able to leave without being punished just like the dude that failed

[01:45:27] physics and decided to leave to go to a not as yeah prestigious school I'm gonna get a liberal arts

[01:45:35] degree now like I don't want to be I don't want it to be a physicist anymore I'm just going to get

[01:45:39] this liberal arts degree I'm gonna go to some fisk university somewhere in Ohio or something

[01:45:45] that yeah but I mean you should be allowed to do I think like it's just a matter of adults if

[01:45:51] you're still going to treat them like kids you just you you're losing your leverage so you could

[01:45:56] do like Jay right there out of Villanova who says this and this is not the world I want to live in

[01:46:01] maybe maybe that was part of Nick Sabin's this is you make it out of my Roy William step down

[01:46:07] and me it happens if you if you want success and you need these relationships to work

[01:46:13] it might not always be smooth but don't just cop out because you get mad at the players because they

[01:46:18] want to leave but yet you got coaches retiring and quitting and resigning yeah because they

[01:46:24] don't want to deal with the new rules that don't allow for them to just stop out I mean we talked

[01:46:29] about it look at killing the board now granite half of Washington is gone now but you literally

[01:46:36] just took a team to the national title game and no quicker than you could wash your ass

[01:46:43] you were down in Tuscaloosa you know talking to Alabama was I talking to you or because he had a

[01:46:50] press conference schedule to yeah yeah the phone of rumors right about him going to Alabama

[01:46:57] cancel it and that same day they had now said he was going to Alabama yeah and you know granite

[01:47:03] I know that the coaches are professionals not bound to the same agreements that students are

[01:47:10] but that's where the unfairness comes in because as a coach he can do that some people will

[01:47:18] criticize him but I think most people just like I think I justified it and was like yo it was

[01:47:23] Alabama like Alabama calls you listen but at the same time like if you're a dude that's at like say

[01:47:31] even a power five school like TCU in Ohio state calls you and says like yo we want you to play

[01:47:39] receiver for us or whatever and you know that Ohio state has been put in receivers in the NFL

[01:47:46] since pimping pimping since pimping pimping I think last six or seven rookie of the years

[01:47:53] one if not defense or offense has been from Ohio state yeah so it's the same concept right or like

[01:48:01] if you're a quarterback at like Toledo you know what I mean even if you get a call from a Iowa state

[01:48:08] you know what I mean Iowa state still plays in the big 12 oh by the way Brock Perney went to Iowa

[01:48:13] state breeze hall went to Iowa state so why would I not entertain it if I'm a student or if

[01:48:19] I'm if I'm one of these kids so so I have the job I get linked in messages every day

[01:48:25] if I like one and I like the salary I'll reply yeah it was going on what we talking about

[01:48:31] so message to America freedom is freedom not just when you agree with it

[01:48:44] you know said that's what it is this is like I mean these kids like look we always talk about how

[01:48:51] P. Diddy took advantage of the locks you know they were like 17 18 year old dudes

[01:48:58] hanging out in the streets or whatever they didn't read that fucking contract they didn't know

[01:49:03] what was in that contract and they gave me the lawyers to help you that were for

[01:49:09] that he's going good did he's lawyers translated it they didn't have no lawyers you know what I mean

[01:49:14] so so that's the same thing that's happened with these kids and everybody keeps talking about how

[01:49:19] N.I.L. is going to ruin this sport to be determined because as we get to this 12-team playoff

[01:49:26] I would mind to see a school like Missouri went to national title or I wouldn't mind

[01:49:32] seeing like you said David versus Goliath I wouldn't mind seeing Georgia plan against

[01:49:39] I go yeah I go crazy and say like too late or something but you know I'm a

[01:49:43] fine like I mean if if if that's the matchup we get that's the matchup we get I think the problem is

[01:49:51] people clamor and want and want to make a scene as if they're upset that certain aspects of

[01:49:58] certain sports are rigged but then when you get a matchup that is unlikely i.e.

[01:50:04] Milwaukee versus Phoenix and NBA finals no one wanted to watch because it wasn't the next

[01:50:10] person lakers you know it wasn't a traditional powerhouse it wasn't going to state and you know

[01:50:15] warriors of what I mean they also have everyone wants diversity and they want like this this

[01:50:20] new wave and this new look and I don't want the same teams but as soon as you get a situation where

[01:50:26] Georgia loses the SEC championship game like you mean to tell me the Texas is better than Georgia

[01:50:32] and it's like no like this is these are the parameters allow for the parameters to be your guidance

[01:50:38] I think that's a I think people are giving people where the your people are people's feelings are

[01:50:45] taken into consideration a little too much and loud and then they love the masses to have the

[01:50:51] father like I don't care what your feelings are I understand what they are I hear you completely

[01:50:55] but they lost at the wrong time of the year they're out is that simple

[01:51:00] that's like where everybody talks about look at what Georgia did to TCU do we want to see that again

[01:51:06] no but acknowledge the fact that TCU beat Michigan to get there the same Michigan that we're

[01:51:12] clamoring about the Chargers higher in their coach the same Michigan that won the national title this

[01:51:18] year you know blowouts happen you know I've seen super bowls my favorite quarterback John L.A.

[01:51:25] lost the Super Bowl 55 to 10 yeah he lost a lot of suboes like that I wasn't talking about

[01:51:31] oh man I really wish Buffalo would have got it instead you you you play the season out whatever teams

[01:51:38] earn their way into the playoffs earn their way into the playoffs and then you let the chips fall

[01:51:44] and this is where but this is where the NCAA doesn't have any teeth because the NCAA isn't in charge

[01:51:51] they don't commit over the college football player now they run March madness you know but

[01:52:00] if I'm the big 10 SEC and I'm pulling up out of there I could take March madness with me I can start

[01:52:06] my own tournament there was some tournaments uh there was some talk last year that Fox

[01:52:12] now I don't I don't want this tournament to happen first of all but I'm just saying there

[01:52:17] Fox was talking about says they owned the big East the big 12 in the big 10 right now

[01:52:23] they were talking about having an tournament with 16 teams from those conferences that didn't make

[01:52:29] March madness so what's up with that money right like somebody you'll watch it if

[01:52:36] if all the money somebody you'll watch it but I'll watch it you know I don't want it but I'll

[01:52:41] watch I don't like to play in but I watch it but you know but the point being is that

[01:52:47] if you could set something like that up you could pull your institutions out of the NCAA

[01:52:53] and you could run March madness yourself you know now granted that would chop a lot of schools away

[01:52:58] because in football we got 133 soon to be 135 but in basketball last I checked we were around 363

[01:53:07] so there's a whole lot of chopping down that would have to happen but I think it's plausible

[01:53:13] I just think I just think the greed I think ultimately is greed and control that's

[01:53:20] that's that's the shining a bad light on it because I don't think

[01:53:26] this simple thing was pay the players and he asked was how do we do that how does how do we get

[01:53:33] same stipends and like no one really dug into it so they put out this NIL deal because eventually

[01:53:39] we talked about the guy destroying he the kicker has a YouTube channel

[01:53:43] he got kicked off of his team I think he was at UCF because he was monetizing his YouTube page

[01:53:50] so he wasn't allowed to play college football is like what does his YouTube page have to do with

[01:53:55] his cause football but they wanted his whole amateurism ideology to be you know like the law

[01:54:01] that land and they realized that's not the case it is unfair and they were going to get sued

[01:54:07] Northwestern was probably I believe the first school like they were they were built on you know

[01:54:12] if you want a lawyer you get them from Northwestern like that's what you should lawyer from so

[01:54:18] they were putting it together some of their smart players pie small offensive line middle guys

[01:54:22] tend to be the smartest guys on the team and they were they were gonna fight and that thing they

[01:54:26] were gonna win because these antitrust laws are very simple it's basically like you can't treat people

[01:54:33] like you can't treat people like workers and not pay them that's that's simply what the antitrust

[01:54:39] laws are like you have to pay people for the work that they're putting in you can't just keep saying

[01:54:44] oh they're not workers and give them this this this classification so you don't have to pay them

[01:54:48] because as they dig deep into it everything is going to sound like a duck does this person

[01:54:54] is this person mandated to be here at this time are they mandated to do this is their

[01:54:58] programmers involved is their insurance evolved like all these things say you work for them

[01:55:05] so I think that's where we're headed like they work for them I think that's where we're headed

[01:55:10] about 20 30 I think we're going to have employees or at least a plan in place to create employees

[01:55:17] yeah and that's all it is that's that comment says it all right there because

[01:55:26] absolutely these coaches I like that one

[01:55:35] yo it was it was a great scene obi plodges character in jenna kershan in this movie called Emily

[01:55:43] the criminal and she was doing an interview and jenna kershan was the the employer

[01:55:50] and every obi plodges character Emily was the employee and she was like we're going to start

[01:55:57] y'all for an unpaid internship she was like excuse me she was like yeah you're going to work your

[01:56:01] way up so what would I be doing she's like well you're gonna be doing the same thing as she

[01:56:05] like pointed to some other girl in room she was like so I'm gonna be doing the same thing as her

[01:56:10] you're gonna get paid but I'm not gonna get paid she's like well this is how you'd pay your

[01:56:13] douche like you know you could just pay me and I will do the job but if you don't want to pay me

[01:56:18] you're not gonna hire me and not pay me to where I have to be here all day and not get paid

[01:56:23] right that doesn't make any sense like the fact that that's even a thing blows my mind but it makes

[01:56:29] people want to you know oh you got to earn your stripes like no I got to earn this check right so

[01:56:34] cut me an internship rate like okay you get 20 y'all's an hour I mean do you get hired on

[01:56:39] to go to 32 that I can take that out work for this edge as well but I'm not working 8 10 12

[01:56:45] hours a day for you to write me a good letter and maybe hire me and maybe not so right that's all

[01:56:53] that's all that is it's like they went from the complete autonomy and complete control over the

[01:56:58] lives of these players to now these players have leverage and some of them will drive you crazy

[01:57:04] with their leverage some of the parents will drive you crazy with the leverage some of the dads are

[01:57:10] gonna live by kerosene through their through their sons some of the moms gonna live by kerosene

[01:57:14] through their daughters when you try to get them on the volleyball team some grandfather who's a

[01:57:19] booster for this school it's going you're going to have problems that doesn't mean you you get to

[01:57:25] just change all the rules because you don't want to deal with the problems and the headaches

[01:57:30] you can get out of the way it's coming it's it's going to happen you just have to deal with it

[01:57:35] as an organization as an institution figure out a way how do we get the people who provide us

[01:57:42] money for all these stadium extensions and all this other stuff and everything that we get

[01:57:47] monetarily how do we divide it up to where we get players that are here that are gonna perform so

[01:57:53] when we need that 20 million dollar bowl game check in January we get it because we put

[01:58:00] $800,000 into the bank account of this defensive tackle we put 1.6 million in the bank account

[01:58:06] of this quarterback to get him from California to Tennessee whatever it is you have to do to secure

[01:58:12] the bag legally do it don't complain about the legalities of it because you simply want control

[01:58:19] right so you know but there are
