Speaker 2 (01:40):
Good deciding?
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know what, Yeah, enough of this making you wait around.
Let's go ahead and start the NBA Finals coming up
later on.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Congratulations guys, I for this.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Making us forget about that there's a season still going on.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's like, I don't know, how do you feel, just
in general about the delays. It's the two weeks in
between games for the Super Bowl, whether it's this long
ass delay for the NBA Finals, does it feel necessary?
Because I feel like the NFL I kind of understand it.
Although by the time Wednesday and Thursday roll around at
(02:15):
super Bowl Week, especially with you know where we're at,
we're looking around, going all right, we've really we've really
maxed out every single angle and storyline to this game.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Can the game just get here?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Like?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Can we just get here?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I mean, maybe that that's a good thing. You know,
if you can make your viewing audience feel that way
and they they're excited for it to finally come, maybe
that's a good thing. Maybe, you know, they say good
things are worth waiting for. I mean, the only delay
in my life that I've ever liked really is school delays.
(02:53):
That's it. There's the only one that that to me
made any sense. What do you mean, do I feel
like there should be a good a good amount the
time delay for for the game, Like, let's get right
to it. I don't feel like there should be a
delay for your flight. Let's get right to it. When
I was a kid and I didn't want to go
to school, if you got to see you don't know
(03:14):
about that because you guys don't get weather delays. But
for us, yeah, on the on the East coast, if
it if it was really bad out, you know, like
the snow or whatever, they give you a to two
hour delay so you get to sleep, you get two
hours of extra sleep, you know what I mean. So
that was the only delay really that I can say,
(03:36):
I'm really you know, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
With Hold on a second.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So they wouldn't just cancel school for the day, They
give you two hour What were they waiting on the
snow to meulnt plow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
They plow, bro They don't just wait for it to melt,
They plow. They throw that salt on the ground to
keep it from from turning into ice and makes the
you know, obviously it's it's soluble, so it makes makes
the the ice and the snow melt. And then yeah,
you walk your ass to your uh to your bus
(04:09):
stop or or get in the car with whoever's going
to take you to school. And yeah, two hour delay,
that's what they call them.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, I was always under the impression if it was
snowing snow day, you're out, like you're gone, Like you
guys are just going to get to get a day
off there. So, yeah, we did not really much of
a out here in California. We didn't get any uh
not no weather delays or issues. The ninety four earthquake,
and you know that was a little dicey at times
because you know, you'd be sitting in class or trying
(04:38):
to teach you social studies and all of a sudden
it starts rattling and you're like, huh, place feels like
it's not all that safe. But yeah, other than that,
there was no I just was always under the impression
you guys got a full snow day.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Interesting, Nope, is this still like that an hour or
a kid?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I haven't lived there in so long, I don't know. Yeah,
kids sop the thing. I'm just saying, Well, I don't
know they will give you a delay. Want air quality
out here though, I've had that happen before. Yeah, air quality,
Like it was so poor where we were living at
one point that they gave them a delay on going,
(05:14):
you know, going to school.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
There's an air quality delay, I believe. So here's here's
a better idea.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How about we just make the homeless not smoke crack
in the streets so it doesn't ruin the ozone layer.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Maybe there's that. I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Howbout we just don't like burn buildings down because somebody
stepped on the side of your tent and you're pissed
off about it. Like maybe, I don't know, maybe maybe
that could help out. You know, the air quality in
southern California. I don't know, just an idea, just thoughts
out there, but you know, what the hell do I know?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Here's what I do know.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The Oklahoma City it's a good matchup.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
The Ilkahoma City thunder Or a nine and a half
point favorite going into Gay One, an overwhelming favorite to
win the NBA Finals. To me, it does feel like
this is going to be a much more competitive matchup
than maybe they have it laid out here. For example,
Celtics Mavericks last year ended in five games, probably should
have ended in four. I just don't see this being
(06:12):
a four or five game series. I don't know, Like
I feel like Indiana's got a little bit too feisty.
Indiana's got good players, Indiana is deep, not as deep
as Oklahoma City. But it feels like this is going
to be a much better matchup than maybe some people
are expecting up to this point.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You know, in my mind, I believe that to be
the case. But I just don't know. I really don't.
I feel like this could go. It could go three ways.
One which everybody's want to be like duh, But I
mean one it could be what everybody It could be
(06:50):
what everybody expects it to be, right it's okay, see
they overwhelm them, they win the game, they cover. That's
clearly what a lot of people may be thinking. Then
there could be the idea of Indianapolis, you know, the
Pacers making a game and winning the game and shocking
(07:12):
the world and shocking the system. And okay, now we
have a series, and then there's the third one where
it's like it's ultra competitive, and I would love to
see ultra competitive to be honest. For game one, I
wouldn't have a problem seeing the Pacers pull off the upset,
(07:32):
just so it disrupts what everybody's probably already expecting. But
I'll be interested to see can the Pacers play with Oka,
See can they keep up with the pace of OKAC
When in fact we know that the Pacers are a
team that plays with a fast pace, So it should
(07:54):
it should be a good matchup because both teams are
able to play out of high pace. In the last
series you saw with Karl Anthony Towns and some of
the other bigs, they just couldn't. The Knicks got overwhelmed
by the pace of the Pacers. No pun intended, I guess,
but that to me was the difference in that series.
(08:16):
It wasn't that they were so much more talented, It
was just that their ability to play at a higher
pace overwhelmed them. On the other side of it, when
you look at OKAC, you're looking at a team that
played some hellified defense against the Timberwolves and were able
(08:36):
to play at a high pace that overwhelmed the Timberwolves.
So they were able to get back, play defense, stay
in front of the Timberwolves, play defense, and they're transitioning.
The things that they were doing were so fast, they
were on them so fast that they couldn't handle it.
(08:58):
So to see that be the matchup, I think, you know, obviously,
matchups make you know, make what it's going to be,
you know, and and so to me, I think this
will be. It seems like it should be a good series.
It really does. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Adam Silver, the commissioner of the n b A who
you know, you and Brady have accused me of looking
like a vampire. Petros Papadakis our our Wednesday tradition here
on the show. Yeah, well, Petros has said that Adam
Silver looks like an old school school vampire.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He called it old school his vampireic ways or something.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Along the yet having it can be having the lines
for you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So so Adam Silver did did open up his box
yesterday and he was on with with f S one.
It was he was on breakfast Ball on Fox Sports
one and he discussed the matchup and you know a
little bit of a comp between maybe the NBA Finals
and the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It's one thing I really admire about the NFL. I mean,
if if we were going into a Super Bowl and
it was Packers against Steelers, you guys would be celebrating that.
Nobody would Those would be storied franchises. People wouldn't be
talking about the fact that Pittsburgh is a small market.
So I'm happy whatever team ends up in the finals.
But it's been intentional from our standpoint to create a system,
(10:24):
a collective bargaining agreement that allows more teams to compete.
And just by way of background, you know, we're going
to have to go through a process of getting to
the point where people are accustomed to tuning into the
finals because it's the two teams that deserve to be
there and it's the best basketball. Similar to again with
the Super Bowl, if I asked somebody they were going
(10:44):
to watch the super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They wouldn't say who's playing.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's a national holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I'd probably steer clear of comparing anything to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean just me personally, Like, you.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Know, one, it's one game, Like he's you know, I
don't know. You got to speak in a way where
you make some justifications because he's the leader of the NBA,
and I get that, you know, I understand where he's
coming from. But you're talking about a possibility of four
(11:16):
games at the least, seven games at the most, and
there's so many games before that to get there. So
I think that it's just different. You're not going to
be I feel like it's almost impossible for the popularity
that football holds in America. I feel like it's very
(11:39):
difficult to think that you could build you could build
a viewership or an interest level that high when there's
that many games. I just think that the idea of
knowing that you only get so much time with football
(11:59):
and listen, it's it's not that it's it's like that
the seasons are any shorter or longer. It's just you
only get so much time. Like during the course of
the week, I only get one time to see my
team it's not two times a week for the duration
of you know, however long six month period of time,
(12:21):
it's not. It's not that you get them once a
week and it and it creates a different type of
value in my estimation. So when you have all these games,
like how many games is that? Eighty three, eighty.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Five, eighty two. I mean, someone say eighty three too many?
But again that's not me. I don't want to be
negative here.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
It's just too many games. To me, it's just too
many games to be able to create that level of
buy in and commitment to it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So, you know, the other issue is to your point
as far as the Super Bowl being one game in
the NBA Finals being seven, the problem is like, for example,
we knew pretty early on, even before halftime, that the
Chiefs were finished, like it was over. Like if you
(13:11):
weren't beating Philly, it just wasn't happening. It wasn't their day,
like everything was going wrong. And Kansas City, you know,
scored a little bit in the second half, was like, okay,
whoop they do, But everybody knew that game was a wipeout.
Final score not indicative of what the game actually was.
But you're overcoming dealing with a blowout with one game,
and so you've got one game to really worry about
(13:33):
keeping your audience. In the NBA, if OKC goes up
three zero, it's over. Nobody's gonna care about Game four.
Even if Indiana wins Game four, nobody cares. If Indiana
comes back and wins game five, Eh, there's a little interest,
but ultimately, nobody's ever come back from a three to
zero series deficit. So you just now it starts to
(13:55):
mount the the idea that well, you know, maybe this team,
everybody knowledge Kansas City had no shot.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But you'll watch it, and you'll stick around. Yeah, you
watch it, You'll stick around.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
If a team gets down three zero in the NBA,
that's a wrap. The other team can win a couple
of games, and it could be over in six, and
that's all a good and well. But games five and
six and even game four, the interest level just drops
and drops and drops. That is why you see the
ticket prices when a team is down. You know, like,
(14:27):
I'd love to know what the what the ratings were
for Game four last year of the NBA Finals, where
the Celtics are.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Up three to zero, Like everybody knew it was over.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So unless you get rid of a seven game format,
which they're not because of the revenue that it means
you're just gonna have to deal with the fact that
you're at a disadvantage from keeping an interest level for
the spectator that the NFL doesn't really have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
They just don't.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It just takes away the intense, like the drama of it.
It just takes away the drama of it unless it
went to a seven. Now, if they found a way
to tie it and it went to a game seven,
that game seven would be a win, but that would
be your best to your point, that would be your
best case scenario is that all team went up three
to zero on you like I don't care anymore, and
(15:15):
then they came back and it's like, oh they tied
it up. It's like, oh they tied it up. Okay,
Like I'm coming back because now it turns into what
jonas a one game.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Deal, and unless you have that, you're not the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm sorry. There you go. I agree, because you get
the build up to one game. Like, think about it.
We're on Radio Row all week for Super Bowl. Ever
since we started this show and This is a sports show.
This isn't a football show. It's a sports show. Every
single year we sit in a place and there ain't
nobody even there. That's how important that build up to
(15:50):
the one game is. We ain't even not one time
with no one out there waiting for the basketball game
to start. What do you mean time?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
What do you mean that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
There was a guy there in New Orleans who was
rolling around on a pallette jack like he was at
like he was at the Indy five hundred Indy fat.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I didn't even know those things.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I'm looking around for the palette going where is it?
That guy just took it on a cruise. Guy just
took it on a cruise.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So every morning too, ain't nobody here to get ran over.
Ain't going to be no civilian accidents? No, No, ain't
nobody here.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's got nothing to worry about, you know, like we're
more concerned about the walk there than we were really
anything happening inside the convention center.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Definitely have my head on the swivel.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
By the way, Uh, we should tell you about the
super Bowl of building and that's Home Depot because everybody

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Now, I know we mentioned New Orleans, but I didn't

Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is a this is a cajun uh Lee?
Speaker 3 (20:29):

You did you didn't miss You didn't miss the end
and drink though I drink.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
You missed the and and drink.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
That's why I said up my notes early yesterday.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You got both ends in there drinking.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I didn't see it at first. I was like, so,
what's the hard doing? Like what's happening here? Because sometimes
you and Petros will bring up like a lyric off a.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Song and I'm like what, And so I didn't know
if this is a lyric. I didn't realize it was
actually our rundown. But yes, uh.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Digs Trayvon Diggs could get digged for rehabig.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He is Uh was having a good old time yesterday.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Christ was like that tweet, I said, you right, Uh
so so he is.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Uh he is rehabig off site.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Tray Von has been in Florida, uh, working his way
back from the surgery he had for that bum knee
that he's got going on that he's been dealing with
for a couple of years now. And I would just
like to say this, so he potentially could get fined
half a million dollars. You've got to show up there
for a certain percentage of the off season workouts.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Fine, not fine, Yeah, it's a bonus.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah he loses.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, he doesn't collect that out of it. It's in
his contract for him to be there because he's part
of that guaranteed money conversation. Right, you know what I mean, Like,
you're guaranteed X amount of dollars, but some of those
guarantees are wrapped into situations like this where they want
you there on the off season and you got to
make like an X amount of percentage to be able
(22:30):
to collect the bonus. Is guaranteed money if you do
what you're supposed.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
To do, and you and you and Brady have pointed
out that a place like maybe Green Bay not no
shots taken.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Here, you don't want to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So this is implemented in your contract to get you
to show up to some of these works in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, why would he not want to be there all year?
I've never lived there, but I heard that it's not
a horrible place to be, would you. Hear acts are
good and everything is bigger in Texas, That's what I heard. Cannons.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, I mean it does. It does feel like everything.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So you know, you've got this whole little song and
dance that's taken place because it can't be an off
season without somebody for the Cowboys acting out, somebody, uh,
you know, having some sort of an issue there. What's
what's funny about this is Jerry Jones made this quote
earlier in the off season, and this is, you know,
(23:49):
he he's talking with Calvin Watkins, who covers the Cowboys
for the Dallas Morning News, and he was speaking about
Trayvon Diggs and his recovery to come back from injury,
and he said the following earlier in the off season quote,
he's working hard. That's very important because if he will
be very good and diligent as to his rehab process,
then he'll get back quicker and he will arrive when
(24:10):
he does get back sooner than if he has not
worked as hard. He's more subject to injury. He's learned
that one time. My point is, I have a lot
of hope that the actual rehabit experience from the time
before is really helping him out, and I think it has.
Basically saying he didn't take it serious the first time
he decided to rehab off site previously, and because of
(24:35):
that that may have led to him maybe not being.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
As ready to go when he came back.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And so what does tray Vaughan Diggs do when he
hears this earlier in the off season, just continues to
do what he did last year, which may or may
not have resulted in him dealing with the injury. Again,
it's an interesting choice. I'd like to say this, for
all this talk out there about who's the NFL family
of choice, You've got the Mannings, You've got the Kelsey's.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The Digs boys. They are wild. That's my football family.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You want to know the the the family in the
NFL that you get some of the love. That's right,
That's right.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I mean I heard that they're honoring uh Stephan. They
go and put him on the cover of that Matten
the Matten game. I saw the Matt cover fire.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
By the way, it was Trayvon on the boat. Was
he on the boat? Was step on?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Would be a great question, come on, great question.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I mean, what if it came out that he was
can somebody scan the boat to find out whether or
not Treyvon was there? He was there, But I mean,
why wouldn't you that's an extra half million dollars? Like
why not be apart? Like what is what am I missing?
(25:58):
Is it just a disgrundled with where he's at contractually?
I think he's due to make nine million dollars. He
already got his pay day, and he got his pay
day and then ended up getting hurt shortly afterwards. But
I'm just trying to figure out, like why not be
a part of it? Like why not be a part
of the process, especially if you know you've got a
new coach, it's a new regime, it's a big year,
(26:19):
you're coming back from the injury. Why not be a
part of everything. Oh and while you're at it, earn
an extra half million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And here's the thing. I don't feel like you have
to sacrifice one for the other, Jonus, Like I'll be
talking to my kids about this. Even with prehab when
you're in athletics, if there's one thing that there's a
few things that I would love to be able to
go back and do differently, but prehab and rehab and
(26:51):
conditioning would have been one that I would have did more.
I would have did more of. And so what I
mean by that is, if he wants to rehab off site,
rehab off site. But if you're going to get a
half a million dollar bonus and that's connected to you
being present and being on site, then go do that.
(27:15):
You know what's funny. Here's what's interesting, Jonas. You'll go
do appearances for ten fifteen grand maybe I mean maybe
a little more give or take, whatever it is your
commitment is, you do that maybe I don't know, three
four times during the course of an off season. You're
(27:38):
not going to make too many appearances. It just doesn't
work that way. So you might get, like on on
the high end, you might get like on high maybe
six or seven appearances. So you do the math of
six or seven appearances. Let's just round it off out
of cool ten you so hot, you're going to do
(27:59):
ten paid appearances for let's just say let's say twenty
g's right, what's that come out to? Like, let's do
the math brand Okay, there you go. There you go
ten times to twenty thousand. Yeah, yeah, twenty grand or
two hundred thousand. You are still three hundred thousand dollars
(28:22):
away from the money you would get just going to Oh,
by the way, improve your body and improve your conditioning.
So to me, I think sometimes the way we, you know,
as active players look at certain things, he's probably valuing
(28:42):
the rehab and the environment that he's in more so
than the bonus that he would receive, meaning that whatever
it is he's doing, wherever he's going to do it
at is going to lead to him having the type
of season that will ultimately benefit him in the long
run with getting bonuses or which is funny, or getting
(29:04):
getting landing, the opportunity to get another contract or an
extension or whatever it may be. He must be valuing
what he believes his performance level is going to be
going into the season over being at the facility, so
meaning he's not wherever he's rehabbing, it's not in the
same place as where the Texas you know, where the
(29:27):
Dallas Dallas Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I mean, according to Todd Archer, and he's the one
who kind of detailed this free ESPN, Diggs is believed
to be the first player who could see his base
salary lowered if the Cowboys enforce the clause.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
So they're pretty leaning about this. And you don't have
to be there for everyone.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You just have to be there yeah, like eighty four
percent change of the of these works, which.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Is I mean, if it's if the and the usually
the percentage is up there, and it's up there for
a reason because they want you there. And and again
the lift is not heavy, it's not a heavy lift.
Off season, you're probably there for like I don't know,
like on average during those days, maybe four to five
(30:16):
hours if I recall correctly, maybe four to five hours
by there.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
If you're working your way back from an injury, are
you even doing any of the on field stuff or
are you just rehabbing the whole time?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't even matter, Jonas,
because it's so it's such a it's such a late
back environment like get in there, get your get your
rehab done, do do your your lift with with the
strength coaches and and that's pretty much it for OTAs.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Or what do you do after after practices and all that?
If it's so.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Lenient, like what do you I mean, you go you
go about your business, bruh. And some people they they
I just say, they way more active outside of the
facilities than they are in it on the off season,
that's for certain.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Don't miss those drills.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No, you do not miss them drills. And you don't
have a problem doing it all night either, you know
what I mean. And sometimes them drills make it so
much harder for you to even get up and prioritize
going over to the facility and maintaining what you got
to do over there, because you tire from the night before.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I mean, it's like and you'd.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Be looking at the schedule and they'd be having habbit
on there and then you know it's next thing. You know,
you want an entirely different program, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That's uh, I mean, it's I'm just saying, man, you know,
the Dig's takeover is real. They are taking over this
off season, all right. And uh and if we do
get confirmation the Trayvon, if you.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Saw them dudes doing like catisthetics on on the front
of the boat right like the next morning, you see
the sun coming up in the background, you see Stephen
tray Von on the deck doings on one two three
four one two three four okay one two CARDI b
right there with them. They're doing morning time stretching.
Speaker 1 (32:24):

Speaker 2 (34:55):
It is brutal. I don't like brutal.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, it's entertaining and in the moment when it came out,
it was interesting to watch. But I don't know if
this is relevant.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And by the way, for anybody that's part of the
movie who may be listening on the iHeartRadio app, sorry

Speaker 7 (38:58):
In case you missed this, a man who bragged about
harassing Olympic sprinter Gabby Thomas during an event in Philadelphia
at the Grand Slam Track event hosted by Michael Thomas.
She was running the two hundred meter and she finished
fourth place, but a better who ended up winning his parlay,
bragged about it online, saying that he harassed Gabby Thomas,
(39:21):
chasing her around the track as she was signing autographs
for kids, and that that was the reason why she
finished fourth and didn't win, and therefore why he won
his thing. Therefore, FanDuel came out and banned him from
the website, saying it condemns in the strongest terms, abusive
behavior directed towards.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
Athletes, abuse of my ass. He's trying to get an edge.
It's betting, it's gambling, all right. It's a cruel world
out there, all right. So you want the house to
you want the house to have the advantage every single time. Okay,
guys trying to get a win, all right, and listen,
sometimes you gotta cut corners a little bit here, right enough.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
With this craft and put your thumb on the scale.
Fan tang ridiculous?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
Van, Do think they got that? That strong arm? Now? Honey,

Speaker 2 (40:10):
That's why you do DraftKings man.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
That's rights. I mean, this isn't the first time something
like this happened. I Mean, the dude bet on himself
that there'd be a streaker in the game, and he
made sure it happened. Like, did they ban that guy? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:24):
I got news for you people at the Belmont this weekend.
If you had an opportunity, and you had money on
a horse, and you knew the favorite was right next

that horse in the balls right before the right before
the race, give him an extra little little cattle problem

Speaker 1 (01:40):
You know what, Yeah, enough of this making you wait around.
Let's go ahead and start the NBA Finals coming up
later on.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Congratulations guys, I for this.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Making us forget about that there's a season still going on.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
That's like, I don't know, how do you feel, just
in general about the delays. It's the two weeks in
between games for the Super Bowl, whether it's this long
ass delay for the NBA Finals, does it feel necessary?
Because I feel like the NFL I kind of understand it.
Although by the time Wednesday and Thursday roll around at
(02:15):
super Bowl Week, especially with you know where we're at,
we're looking around, going all right, we've really we've really
maxed out every single angle and storyline to this game.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Can the game just get here?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Like?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Can we just get here?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
I mean, maybe that that's a good thing. You know,
if you can make your viewing audience feel that way
and they they're excited for it to finally come, maybe
that's a good thing. Maybe, you know, they say good
things are worth waiting for. I mean, the only delay
in my life that I've ever liked really is school delays.
(02:53):
That's it. There's the only one that that to me
made any sense. What do you mean, do I feel
like there should be a good a good amount the
time delay for for the game, Like, let's get right
to it. I don't feel like there should be a
delay for your flight. Let's get right to it. When
I was a kid and I didn't want to go
to school, if you got to see you don't know
(03:14):
about that because you guys don't get weather delays. But
for us, yeah, on the on the East coast, if
it if it was really bad out, you know, like
the snow or whatever, they give you a to two
hour delay so you get to sleep, you get two
hours of extra sleep, you know what I mean. So
that was the only delay really that I can say,
(03:36):
I'm really you know, I'm good.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
With Hold on a second.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So they wouldn't just cancel school for the day, They
give you two hour What were they waiting on the
snow to meulnt plow?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
They plow, bro They don't just wait for it to melt,
They plow. They throw that salt on the ground to
keep it from from turning into ice and makes the
you know, obviously it's it's soluble, so it makes makes
the the ice and the snow melt. And then yeah,
you walk your ass to your uh to your bus
(04:09):
stop or or get in the car with whoever's going
to take you to school. And yeah, two hour delay,
that's what they call them.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Yeah, I was always under the impression if it was
snowing snow day, you're out, like you're gone, Like you
guys are just going to get to get a day
off there. So, yeah, we did not really much of
a out here in California. We didn't get any uh
not no weather delays or issues. The ninety four earthquake,
and you know that was a little dicey at times
because you know, you'd be sitting in class or trying
(04:38):
to teach you social studies and all of a sudden
it starts rattling and you're like, huh, place feels like
it's not all that safe. But yeah, other than that,
there was no I just was always under the impression
you guys got a full snow day.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Interesting, Nope, is this still like that an hour or
a kid?
Speaker 3 (04:52):
So I haven't lived there in so long, I don't know. Yeah,
kids sop the thing. I'm just saying, Well, I don't
know they will give you a delay. Want air quality
out here though, I've had that happen before. Yeah, air quality,
Like it was so poor where we were living at
one point that they gave them a delay on going,
(05:14):
you know, going to school.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
There's an air quality delay, I believe. So here's here's
a better idea.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
How about we just make the homeless not smoke crack
in the streets so it doesn't ruin the ozone layer.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Maybe there's that. I got an idea.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Howbout we just don't like burn buildings down because somebody
stepped on the side of your tent and you're pissed
off about it. Like maybe, I don't know, maybe maybe
that could help out. You know, the air quality in
southern California. I don't know, just an idea, just thoughts
out there, but you know, what the hell do I know?
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Here's what I do know.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
The Oklahoma City it's a good matchup.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
The Ilkahoma City thunder Or a nine and a half
point favorite going into Gay One, an overwhelming favorite to
win the NBA Finals. To me, it does feel like
this is going to be a much more competitive matchup
than maybe they have it laid out here. For example,
Celtics Mavericks last year ended in five games, probably should
have ended in four. I just don't see this being
(06:12):
a four or five game series. I don't know, Like
I feel like Indiana's got a little bit too feisty.
Indiana's got good players, Indiana is deep, not as deep
as Oklahoma City. But it feels like this is going
to be a much better matchup than maybe some people
are expecting up to this point.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
You know, in my mind, I believe that to be
the case. But I just don't know. I really don't.
I feel like this could go. It could go three ways.
One which everybody's want to be like duh, But I
mean one it could be what everybody It could be
(06:50):
what everybody expects it to be, right it's okay, see
they overwhelm them, they win the game, they cover. That's
clearly what a lot of people may be thinking. Then
there could be the idea of Indianapolis, you know, the
Pacers making a game and winning the game and shocking
(07:12):
the world and shocking the system. And okay, now we
have a series, and then there's the third one where
it's like it's ultra competitive, and I would love to
see ultra competitive to be honest. For game one, I
wouldn't have a problem seeing the Pacers pull off the upset,
(07:32):
just so it disrupts what everybody's probably already expecting. But
I'll be interested to see can the Pacers play with Oka,
See can they keep up with the pace of OKAC
When in fact we know that the Pacers are a
team that plays with a fast pace, So it should
(07:54):
it should be a good matchup because both teams are
able to play out of high pace. In the last
series you saw with Karl Anthony Towns and some of
the other bigs, they just couldn't. The Knicks got overwhelmed
by the pace of the Pacers. No pun intended, I guess,
but that to me was the difference in that series.
(08:16):
It wasn't that they were so much more talented, It
was just that their ability to play at a higher
pace overwhelmed them. On the other side of it, when
you look at OKAC, you're looking at a team that
played some hellified defense against the Timberwolves and were able
(08:36):
to play at a high pace that overwhelmed the Timberwolves.
So they were able to get back, play defense, stay
in front of the Timberwolves, play defense, and they're transitioning.
The things that they were doing were so fast, they
were on them so fast that they couldn't handle it.
(08:58):
So to see that be the matchup, I think, you know, obviously,
matchups make you know, make what it's going to be,
you know, and and so to me, I think this
will be. It seems like it should be a good series.
It really does. Now.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Adam Silver, the commissioner of the n b A who
you know, you and Brady have accused me of looking
like a vampire. Petros Papadakis our our Wednesday tradition here
on the show. Yeah, well, Petros has said that Adam
Silver looks like an old school school vampire.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
He called it old school his vampireic ways or something.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Along the yet having it can be having the lines
for you.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
So so Adam Silver did did open up his box
yesterday and he was on with with f S one.
It was he was on breakfast Ball on Fox Sports
one and he discussed the matchup and you know a
little bit of a comp between maybe the NBA Finals
and the Super Bowl.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
It's one thing I really admire about the NFL. I mean,
if if we were going into a Super Bowl and
it was Packers against Steelers, you guys would be celebrating that.
Nobody would Those would be storied franchises. People wouldn't be
talking about the fact that Pittsburgh is a small market.
So I'm happy whatever team ends up in the finals.
But it's been intentional from our standpoint to create a system,
(10:24):
a collective bargaining agreement that allows more teams to compete.
And just by way of background, you know, we're going
to have to go through a process of getting to
the point where people are accustomed to tuning into the
finals because it's the two teams that deserve to be
there and it's the best basketball. Similar to again with
the Super Bowl, if I asked somebody they were going
(10:44):
to watch the super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
They wouldn't say who's playing.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
It's a national holiday.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Yeah, I'd probably steer clear of comparing anything to the
Super Bowl.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I mean just me personally, Like, you.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Know, one, it's one game, Like he's you know, I
don't know. You got to speak in a way where
you make some justifications because he's the leader of the NBA,
and I get that, you know, I understand where he's
coming from. But you're talking about a possibility of four
(11:16):
games at the least, seven games at the most, and
there's so many games before that to get there. So
I think that it's just different. You're not going to
be I feel like it's almost impossible for the popularity
that football holds in America. I feel like it's very
(11:39):
difficult to think that you could build you could build
a viewership or an interest level that high when there's
that many games. I just think that the idea of
knowing that you only get so much time with football
(11:59):
and listen, it's it's not that it's it's like that
the seasons are any shorter or longer. It's just you
only get so much time. Like during the course of
the week, I only get one time to see my
team it's not two times a week for the duration
of you know, however long six month period of time,
(12:21):
it's not. It's not that you get them once a
week and it and it creates a different type of
value in my estimation. So when you have all these games,
like how many games is that? Eighty three, eighty.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Five, eighty two. I mean, someone say eighty three too many?
But again that's not me. I don't want to be
negative here.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
It's just too many games. To me, it's just too
many games to be able to create that level of
buy in and commitment to it.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
So, you know, the other issue is to your point
as far as the Super Bowl being one game in
the NBA Finals being seven, the problem is like, for example,
we knew pretty early on, even before halftime, that the
Chiefs were finished, like it was over. Like if you
(13:11):
weren't beating Philly, it just wasn't happening. It wasn't their day,
like everything was going wrong. And Kansas City, you know,
scored a little bit in the second half, was like, okay,
whoop they do, But everybody knew that game was a wipeout.
Final score not indicative of what the game actually was.
But you're overcoming dealing with a blowout with one game,
and so you've got one game to really worry about
(13:33):
keeping your audience. In the NBA, if OKC goes up
three zero, it's over. Nobody's gonna care about Game four.
Even if Indiana wins Game four, nobody cares. If Indiana
comes back and wins game five, Eh, there's a little interest,
but ultimately, nobody's ever come back from a three to
zero series deficit. So you just now it starts to
(13:55):
mount the the idea that well, you know, maybe this team,
everybody knowledge Kansas City had no shot.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But you'll watch it, and you'll stick around. Yeah, you
watch it, You'll stick around.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
If a team gets down three zero in the NBA,
that's a wrap. The other team can win a couple
of games, and it could be over in six, and
that's all a good and well. But games five and
six and even game four, the interest level just drops
and drops and drops. That is why you see the
ticket prices when a team is down. You know, like,
(14:27):
I'd love to know what the what the ratings were
for Game four last year of the NBA Finals, where
the Celtics are.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Up three to zero, Like everybody knew it was over.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
So unless you get rid of a seven game format,
which they're not because of the revenue that it means
you're just gonna have to deal with the fact that
you're at a disadvantage from keeping an interest level for
the spectator that the NFL doesn't really have to worry about.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
They just don't.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
It just takes away the intense, like the drama of it.
It just takes away the drama of it unless it
went to a seven. Now, if they found a way
to tie it and it went to a game seven,
that game seven would be a win, but that would
be your best to your point, that would be your
best case scenario is that all team went up three
to zero on you like I don't care anymore, and
(15:15):
then they came back and it's like, oh they tied
it up. It's like, oh they tied it up. Okay,
Like I'm coming back because now it turns into what
jonas a one game.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Deal, and unless you have that, you're not the Super Bowl.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I'm sorry. There you go. I agree, because you get
the build up to one game. Like, think about it.
We're on Radio Row all week for Super Bowl. Ever
since we started this show and This is a sports show.
This isn't a football show. It's a sports show. Every
single year we sit in a place and there ain't
nobody even there. That's how important that build up to
(15:50):
the one game is. We ain't even not one time
with no one out there waiting for the basketball game
to start. What do you mean time?
Speaker 2 (16:01):
What do you mean that?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
There was a guy there in New Orleans who was
rolling around on a pallette jack like he was at
like he was at the Indy five hundred Indy fat.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
I didn't even know those things.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I'm looking around for the palette going where is it?
That guy just took it on a cruise. Guy just
took it on a cruise.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
So every morning too, ain't nobody here to get ran over.
Ain't going to be no civilian accidents? No, No, ain't
nobody here.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
He's got nothing to worry about, you know, like we're
more concerned about the walk there than we were really
anything happening inside the convention center.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
Definitely have my head on the swivel.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
By the way, Uh, we should tell you about the

chose what he's rehabbing his knee in Florida this weekend
(18:40):

Speaker 3 (18:41):
So you don't you don't care to stay on script?

(20:13):

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Now, I know we mentioned New Orleans, but I didn't
know this.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
This is a this is a cajun uh Lee?
Speaker 3 (20:29):
What was going on?
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Man?
Speaker 7 (20:30):
You?
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (20:32):
What are you okay? This missed the n and rehabbing.
I'm sorry you good man. Yeah, Mama, yesterday was Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
It was Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
You did you didn't miss You didn't miss the end
and drink though I drink.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
You missed the and and drink.
Speaker 7 (20:55):
That's why I said up my notes early yesterday.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
You got both ends in there drinking.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
I didn't see it at first. I was like, so,
what's the hard doing? Like what's happening here? Because sometimes
you and Petros will bring up like a lyric off a.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
Song and I'm like what, And so I didn't know
if this is a lyric. I didn't realize it was
actually our rundown. But yes, uh.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
Digs Trayvon Diggs could get digged for rehabig.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
He is Uh was having a good old time yesterday.
Speaker 7 (21:35):
Christ was like that tweet, I said, you right, Uh
so so he is.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
Uh he is rehabig off site.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Tray Von has been in Florida, uh, working his way
back from the surgery he had for that bum knee
that he's got going on that he's been dealing with
for a couple of years now. And I would just
like to say this, so he potentially could get fined
half a million dollars. You've got to show up there
for a certain percentage of the off season workouts.
Speaker 3 (22:05):
Fine, not fine, Yeah, it's a bonus.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Yeah he loses.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, he doesn't collect that out of it. It's in
his contract for him to be there because he's part
of that guaranteed money conversation. Right, you know what I mean, Like,
you're guaranteed X amount of dollars, but some of those
guarantees are wrapped into situations like this where they want
you there on the off season and you got to
make like an X amount of percentage to be able
(22:30):
to collect the bonus. Is guaranteed money if you do
what you're supposed.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
To do, and you and you and Brady have pointed
out that a place like maybe Green Bay not no
shots taken.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Here, you don't want to be there.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
So this is implemented in your contract to get you
to show up to some of these works in Dallas.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Yeah, why would he not want to be there all year?
I've never lived there, but I heard that it's not
a horrible place to be, would you. Hear acts are
good and everything is bigger in Texas, That's what I heard. Cannons.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Yeah, I mean it does. It does feel like everything.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
So you know, you've got this whole little song and
dance that's taken place because it can't be an off
season without somebody for the Cowboys acting out, somebody, uh,
you know, having some sort of an issue there. What's
what's funny about this is Jerry Jones made this quote
earlier in the off season, and this is, you know,
(23:49):
he he's talking with Calvin Watkins, who covers the Cowboys
for the Dallas Morning News, and he was speaking about
Trayvon Diggs and his recovery to come back from injury,
and he said the following earlier in the off season quote,
he's working hard. That's very important because if he will
be very good and diligent as to his rehab process,
then he'll get back quicker and he will arrive when
(24:10):
he does get back sooner than if he has not
worked as hard. He's more subject to injury. He's learned
that one time. My point is, I have a lot
of hope that the actual rehabit experience from the time
before is really helping him out, and I think it has.
Basically saying he didn't take it serious the first time
he decided to rehab off site previously, and because of
(24:35):
that that may have led to him maybe not being.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
As ready to go when he came back.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
And so what does tray Vaughan Diggs do when he
hears this earlier in the off season, just continues to
do what he did last year, which may or may
not have resulted in him dealing with the injury. Again,
it's an interesting choice. I'd like to say this, for
all this talk out there about who's the NFL family
of choice, You've got the Mannings, You've got the Kelsey's.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
The Digs boys. They are wild. That's my football family.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
You want to know the the the family in the
NFL that you get some of the love. That's right,
That's right.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
I mean I heard that they're honoring uh Stephan. They
go and put him on the cover of that Matten
the Matten game. I saw the Matt cover fire.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
By the way, it was Trayvon on the boat. Was
he on the boat? Was step on?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Would be a great question, come on, great question.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
I mean, what if it came out that he was
can somebody scan the boat to find out whether or
not Treyvon was there? He was there, But I mean,
why wouldn't you that's an extra half million dollars? Like
why not be apart? Like what is what am I missing?
(25:58):
Is it just a disgrundled with where he's at contractually?
I think he's due to make nine million dollars. He
already got his pay day, and he got his pay
day and then ended up getting hurt shortly afterwards. But
I'm just trying to figure out, like why not be
a part of it? Like why not be a part
of the process, especially if you know you've got a
new coach, it's a new regime, it's a big year,
(26:19):
you're coming back from the injury. Why not be a
part of everything. Oh and while you're at it, earn
an extra half million dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
And here's the thing. I don't feel like you have
to sacrifice one for the other, Jonus, Like I'll be
talking to my kids about this. Even with prehab when
you're in athletics, if there's one thing that there's a
few things that I would love to be able to
go back and do differently, but prehab and rehab and
(26:51):
conditioning would have been one that I would have did more.
I would have did more of. And so what I
mean by that is, if he wants to rehab off site,
rehab off site. But if you're going to get a
half a million dollar bonus and that's connected to you
being present and being on site, then go do that.
(27:15):
You know what's funny. Here's what's interesting, Jonas. You'll go
do appearances for ten fifteen grand maybe I mean maybe
a little more give or take, whatever it is your
commitment is, you do that maybe I don't know, three
four times during the course of an off season. You're
(27:38):
not going to make too many appearances. It just doesn't
work that way. So you might get, like on on
the high end, you might get like on high maybe
six or seven appearances. So you do the math of
six or seven appearances. Let's just round it off out
of cool ten you so hot, you're going to do
(27:59):
ten paid appearances for let's just say let's say twenty
g's right, what's that come out to? Like, let's do
the math brand Okay, there you go. There you go
ten times to twenty thousand. Yeah, yeah, twenty grand or
two hundred thousand. You are still three hundred thousand dollars
(28:22):
away from the money you would get just going to Oh,
by the way, improve your body and improve your conditioning.
So to me, I think sometimes the way we, you know,
as active players look at certain things, he's probably valuing
(28:42):
the rehab and the environment that he's in more so
than the bonus that he would receive, meaning that whatever
it is he's doing, wherever he's going to do it
at is going to lead to him having the type
of season that will ultimately benefit him in the long
run with getting bonuses or which is funny, or getting
(29:04):
getting landing, the opportunity to get another contract or an
extension or whatever it may be. He must be valuing
what he believes his performance level is going to be
going into the season over being at the facility, so
meaning he's not wherever he's rehabbing, it's not in the
same place as where the Texas you know, where the
(29:27):
Dallas Dallas Cowboys are.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
I mean, according to Todd Archer, and he's the one
who kind of detailed this free ESPN, Diggs is believed
to be the first player who could see his base
salary lowered if the Cowboys enforce the clause.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
So they're pretty leaning about this. And you don't have
to be there for everyone.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
You just have to be there yeah, like eighty four
percent change of the of these works, which.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
Is I mean, if it's if the and the usually
the percentage is up there, and it's up there for
a reason because they want you there. And and again
the lift is not heavy, it's not a heavy lift.
Off season, you're probably there for like I don't know,
like on average during those days, maybe four to five
(30:16):
hours if I recall correctly, maybe four to five hours
by there.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
If you're working your way back from an injury, are
you even doing any of the on field stuff or
are you just rehabbing the whole time?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
It doesn't matter, that's the point. It doesn't even matter, Jonas,
because it's so it's such a it's such a late
back environment like get in there, get your get your
rehab done, do do your your lift with with the
strength coaches and and that's pretty much it for OTAs.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Or what do you do after after practices and all that?
If it's so.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
Lenient, like what do you I mean, you go you
go about your business, bruh. And some people they they
I just say, they way more active outside of the
facilities than they are in it on the off season,
that's for certain.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
Don't miss those drills.
Speaker 3 (31:10):
No, you do not miss them drills. And you don't
have a problem doing it all night either, you know
what I mean. And sometimes them drills make it so
much harder for you to even get up and prioritize
going over to the facility and maintaining what you got
to do over there, because you tire from the night before.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I mean, it's like and you'd.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Be looking at the schedule and they'd be having habbit
on there and then you know it's next thing. You know,
you want an entirely different program, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
That's uh, I mean, it's I'm just saying, man, you know,
the Dig's takeover is real. They are taking over this
off season, all right. And uh and if we do
get confirmation the Trayvon, if you.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
Saw them dudes doing like catisthetics on on the front
of the boat right like the next morning, you see
the sun coming up in the background, you see Stephen
tray Von on the deck doings on one two three
four one two three four okay one two CARDI b

Speaker 2 (34:55):
It is brutal. I don't like brutal.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, it's entertaining and in the moment when it came out,
it was interesting to watch. But I don't know if
this is relevant.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And by the way, for anybody that's part of the
movie who may be listening on the iHeartRadio app, sorry
