salute your efforts to uh to create normalcy on the

I was good.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
I'm looking forward tomorrow. Petros and I are going to
be working together tomorrow and Friday.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
I'm jealous. I'm jealous. You know he doesn't. I mean,
I realized that I'll live out there, so you can't
ask you to come and studio with him. But I
may just fly out to Deal one of these days.

Speaker 7 (02:18):
Well, you're welcome to if you want Friday. I'll probably
be tired of Jonas by that. I'm just kidding, of course,
just joshing, of course.

Speaker 6 (02:29):
Yeah, we were kicking around. What happened in the NBA
last night?

Speaker 7 (02:33):
Yeah, yeah, but I want to ask you, are you
like on a phone?

Speaker 6 (02:37):
Yeah, I'm still a cell phone. That's that's We're at
the last resort here of our technical capabilities.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah, that is that is how I would put that.
That is well put.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Hey, you know some uh some hosts on the network
have done full shows when there was other options on
the cell phone. So there is you know that really
well you know, oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
That sounds like gottlieb oh no, oh no, oh no, hey, I.

Speaker 7 (03:08):
Heard you, miss class. Well anyway about this Lebron thing.
You're right, though, that is the last resort. I mean
I remember being on a phone being like, oh my god,
Rudy Gobert threw up on the court and COVID's happening
and we're all gonna die.

Speaker 6 (03:30):
It wasn't it wasn't a pandemic that cost us. But
let's just say we're here all right.

Speaker 7 (03:36):
All right, did one of your kids spill like gatorade
or something on your comrades, like what happened?

Speaker 6 (03:42):
My assumption is my one year old just ripped a
port a power corp that has left me powerless for
my combat unit. That is my assumption.

Speaker 5 (03:49):
Yeah, wow, that's a rough ticket. Yeah, and what's up
with LeVar?

Speaker 6 (03:55):
Well that thought of your question.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Yeah, he's uh, he's got took some time off hanging
out with the kids as they're back from college, So
some family time. Okay, but we'll just say it's a
PD suspension.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
We'll keep it honest.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
Yeah. Well you like to say he pissed hot?

Speaker 4 (04:08):
Yeah, he's on the gas.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
All right.

Speaker 7 (04:14):
Well, I'm here and you guys want to talk about
the NBA. I did not watch a lot of the
NBA last night. I know the Lakers came back to
beat the Tea Wolves, which is impressive. That's there. What
third straight win without Lebron. They look like the team
they were when the season started and Lebron was lying

(04:37):
to everybody about having sciatica and taking some time off.
And because of that, these guys got a taste of
playing together. Luka, Doncic and Austin Reeves and even that
very disinterested most of the time. DeAndre eight and was
into it, and they came back and won the game.

(04:57):
So that was one thing that happened. So there'll be
plenty of debate shows about Lebron and disrespecting Lebron and
all these stupid things. And then we had the guys
score eighty three, but almost half of it, for BAM
was free throws, right, Forty free throws.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
Yeah, forty three attempts.

Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, that's hardcore.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
That's a lot of free throws to get to eighty three, right,
I mean that's I mean, good for hiving. Congratulations and
what a great moment. But I think we can all
agree that the NBA has changed so much. A lot
of these stats in this weird stat era are I
don't know, they feel a little more empty. Maybe we
all were gas lighted into thinking the NBA was so

(05:40):
great in the nineties when it wasn't just because of
the John Tesh song. But one way or another, I mean,
for me, that was really the kicker, But one way
or another, it was a big night in the NBA.
And there'll be a lot of debate. They'll be debate
about disrespecting Kobe and his big, big night, and then
they'll be debate about BAM and whether or not it

(06:03):
was legit. There'll be debate about Lebron and if the
Lakers are better off without them, which they undoubtedly are,
and there will be debate about.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
Whether or not.

Speaker 7 (06:17):
Any of us should care because Italy beat the United
States last night.

Speaker 6 (06:24):
The groups could ever do that? Should they? Well?

Speaker 5 (06:27):
I don't know. I mean, you could put together a
Greek baseball.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Team marqkas Mustakus, who yeah, yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
You could put together a Greek baseball team and just
find guys that are half Greek, grew up in Clearwater, Florida.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
And different things like that.

Speaker 7 (06:44):
But but I don't know. The World Baseball Classics interesting.
It's kind of a built It's sort of a built
up event, which I guess anything is when it started,
and I remember going to World Baseball Classic San Anaheim Stadium,
wearing my outfit, like my American outfit versus Mexico and

(07:07):
trying to root and being excited about it and sort
of faking it. He kind of feels like a like
a ratings grab for the MLB. But the fans love it.
I mean, you got people in the crowd freaking out,
having a great time. You have the espresso machine, you
have the guys doing the Italian fingers at each other,

(07:27):
and you guys, I mean, it's not really in your wheelhouse, Brady,
because you're a national broadcaster. But the guy who runs
Team Italy, do you know who that is? I do not, Okay,
the guy who runs Team Italy used to be the
GM of the Dodgers and he's a very public GM.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Did a lot of meat is running the team.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
I forget ed.

Speaker 7 (07:50):
Kaletti is the GM of the the Italy team and
right now his sausage is swollen today.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
By the way, is awesome, gat.

Speaker 7 (08:04):
I mean, you know, leave back take the.

Speaker 6 (08:09):
We go back to the qualifications, to what determines if
you're Italian then you're playing on this steam away. I
mean these aren't like natural born you know, Italians that
moved the States, Like like, what is the qualified?

Speaker 7 (08:21):
Well, no, that's why it's kind of a manufactured event,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
That's why it's a little bit.

Speaker 6 (08:26):
Of you get to play on the Italy team.

Speaker 7 (08:30):
Is that Lorenzen not quite there but he's he's pitching tonight. Uh,
it's uh, it's fun. It's interesting, but I do think
it's a little bit of a manufactured event. One of
the funny things is what you can did you guys
see this story? What you can bring into the World
Baseball Classic?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
No, can you bring your own stuff in?

Speaker 5 (08:52):
Yeah? Dude, The list of what you can bring in
is amazing. Uh it is.

Speaker 7 (08:57):
Really uh uh let me find it, because like you
can bring in like every obscure Latin instrument that ever was,
but you can't bring in like normal white guy fan stuff.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
So like azla you could bring in.

Speaker 5 (09:15):
No, here's the list of what you can bring in.
Are you ready?

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Yeah, a fuca, which is like one of those like
cylinders with a handle and you go, you know, like that, bongos.
You can bring a boulador, which is a giant Puerto
Rican drum for bomba music. You can bring claves. Do

(09:40):
you know what claves are? Those are the two sticks.
So basically you can bring like, you know, like.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Nunchuk's basically next time we here to kinsinta just grab away.

Speaker 5 (09:53):
And not even halfway.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
Congos you can bring You can bring a cow bell,
but not the one with the with the penis in
the middle, you know what I mean. The ones that
will at Mississippi State. Right, you have to bang the
cow bell with a stick, not the one with the

(10:16):
little thing in the middle that you just wag around.
A ghita, which is another like cheese, greater type of instrument,
sort of like the washboard.

Speaker 5 (10:26):
Of the bluegrass world.

Speaker 7 (10:29):
A gito, which is a gourd which grooves that you
hit a stick on, like.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
You know.

Speaker 7 (10:38):
You can bring moroccas. You can bring matracas. Do you
know what that is?

Speaker 5 (10:44):
No, it's like a big wooden ratchet, noisemaker.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Oh yeah, I know that you can bring this. You
can bring three different kinds of tambourines. You can bring
a tambora, which is a drum. You can bring a
giant Indian guitar, a citar. Is it a citar? No,
it's called a tampoota, but an India would be called
a sitar similar shape. You can bring a trumpet, and

(11:13):
you can bring a trombone just in case a fat
guy falls down and are you ready for what? You
can't bring a horn air horn. You cannot bring a bullhorn.
You cannot bring clappers like the hands that clap that

(11:34):
you flap around. You cannot bring a kazoo. You can
bring a trumpet, but not a kazoo. You can you
can't bring thundersticks. You can't bring pots and pans, sorry,
Jonas and no vuvuzela and no whistle.

Speaker 5 (11:56):
And that's the book. Man.

Speaker 3 (12:00):
Well look, I mean they're trying, man, I mean amazing, right,
I mean, that's an amazing list.

Speaker 6 (12:06):
What is the debate between a kazoo and a trumpet?

Speaker 7 (12:09):
Like, I think what they're looking for is like a
band if you have it, Like any old idiot can
bring a kazoo, but if you have a trumpet, you know,
it's assuming you.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Know how to play that, right, you're a professional, right, So.

Speaker 7 (12:22):
You know they want like a Latin makeshift band in
the crowd.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
We just talked about Jonas's wedding.

Speaker 5 (12:29):
Oh yeah, wedding, and it sounds.

Speaker 4 (12:32):
A lot like we got got married during COVID.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
They kept the deposit, so maybe they're maybe they can
finally do their job six years later.

Speaker 7 (12:42):
Jeez, it's fortunate. But anyway, that's the rules for the
World Baseball Classic. And now after all that, the Team
USA is going down. That's so they're going I don't
understand the tiebreaker, very few do.

Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah, It's basically, you need Italy to win out right
if you're the US, or you need Mexico to not
score a lot of runs and win like.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
It's just it feels like it could have been done.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
It also doesn't open your manager, Mark DeRosa, I don't
know if that's an Italian name. But that's also confusing
when Mark Durosa doesn't know that the US hadn't already
clinched into the next round and basically alludes to the
fact that the players got banged up after the Mexico
win and so they were dragging ass yesterday. It's probably
also not a great look.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
You know, it sounds like a Talian spy. I mean,
how do we know they didn't plan one? And as
our manager, you know.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
I don't know.

Speaker 7 (13:32):
I thought Italian Italy was friendly with that angry Georgia Meloney,
their prime minister.

Speaker 5 (13:38):
I didn't.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
I don't even know if Italy knows this is happening
because all the players are American guys. But I'm not
surprised that nobody knows the rules, and I'm not surprised.
I guess the guys on D Day didn't get beat
up by Mexico in Day one, right, Well, we're dragging
ass day two.

Speaker 5 (13:55):
Sorry, we can't take the area.

Speaker 6 (13:59):
Italian. They're usually have an Italian horn on and they're
telling everyone about it, you know, like that's I get
a buddy, I'm not gonna dave names here Italian last name,
but I'm more Italian than he is. He's basically Irish,
but you would never know that base on his PISONA. Yeah,
we have.

Speaker 7 (14:14):
David Vasse who really leans into the Italian thing, but
he doesn't like the World Baseball.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Classic because he works with the Dodgers.

Speaker 7 (14:22):
So the one thing I just keep thinking about, Brady
is when this show's over, you're just gonna like hit
hit the hang up button on your phone.

Speaker 6 (14:34):
Yeah, I mean, it would be no different than me
just powering down the.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
Comrade, you know, I don't know, It's just kind of
funny to me, like, Okay, I'm gonna hang up my
phone now.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Hey, you know what thoughts. At least he's here, he's
battling through. You know, there's something you know that You're
absolutely right.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
A lot of guys would just be like that.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
Lady in the com Mine a couple of years ago,
on that radio show with Chicago, she had a little
echo and she just said f this and threw her
headset off.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
I did want on the Bam on a bio eighty stupid.

Speaker 7 (15:05):
I mean, the guy averages eighteen a game and he
ends up scoring eighty three.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
It's, by the way, he scored so many points last night.
His average is up to twenty. I was curious about that.

Speaker 7 (15:15):
So hear what Craig Carton wrote about it. No, he wrote,
the Miami Heat versus Washington Wizards game is a disgrace
to basketball. Miami up twenty six and fouling Washington as
soon as the ball is inbounded, missing free throws on
purpose to get Bam more shots and points as pathetic.
The Wizards are triple teaming Bam full court trying to

(15:36):
prevent him from scoring eighty three, which he now did.
He has taken over forty free throws at over forty shots.

Speaker 4 (15:43):
It's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
Total s show at NBA.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
It's also for the league that is so worried about
everything being on the up and up because of gambling.
And you've got this these charades going on where teams
are in it together to get a guy a point total.
It's just the whole thing's awful, and Steve Kerr comes
out and he's talking about how to improve the league
is by doing ten less games. At this point, there's

(16:08):
some people that just want eighty two less games, and
I just it's not anywhere close to what it was.

Speaker 7 (16:15):
Yeah, the player empowerment era has kind of gone out
of control, which is weird. I mean, you want the
people that deserve the money to be playing between the lines.
And obviously, basketball players are very elite and very special
athletes and some of the best looking and most impressive
athletes in the world. I'm not saying they're the toughest,

(16:36):
but they are really graceful. And the proprioception of knowing
where your limbs are when you're moving around, and not
only do they go up and down the court, but
they go up and down like pogo sticks, which is
what's really hard, jumping high and then jumping high again
the second time. That kind of stuff is really impressive,
and people don't concentrate on it. And there is something

(16:59):
to the fact that athletes are more fine to now
and they go up and down a little faster, and
everything is a little bit more optimized than it was
from our era. But I think now that you kind
of take a longer view of it and look at
today's NBA from the mean mister Mustard outfit that Shay

(17:22):
Gilgess Alexander wore the other night to eighty three points
for Bam of all people last night, and just Lebron
hanging on for dear life, fingertips, holding on to the
cracks and the foundation of him as a Laker, all
of it just you know, you figure that even though

(17:44):
maybe it's optimized and everybody's making more money, it's not
better than it was. I mean, it's probably the same
thing as college football right now. I'm not for players
not getting paid and I'm not for the weird, crooked
system that we grew up playing on, although I don't
think it was that bad when in retrospect, but I mean,

(18:06):
it was almost better when when college football was done,
everything was done under the table, right like we almost
had we almost had a little bit more of an
understanding of the sport and we almost had a better
handle on how to cover it when everything that was
being done illegal was being done.

Speaker 5 (18:25):
Behind the scenes.

Speaker 7 (18:27):
And now that everything is above board and everything is
it's kind of like Las Vegas right at the end
of that movie Casino where they say, hey, Vegas was
better when the mob ran it. You know now that
it's all corporate and it's all you know, there's no
there's no intimacy anymore, there's no pride anymore, there's no
I mean, these are all interesting things. Like there's a

(18:48):
lot of great things that have come with with modern
sports or contemporary NBA and college football and the different
things we watch, even even the NFL. But there's a
lot of stuff when you look at it compared to
the way it used to be that is not as cool.
And the way that that guy got to eighty three
last night is probably one of those things. And the

(19:11):
way people dress in the tunnel.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Is the other.

Speaker 6 (19:15):
Well, put petriss, I'll want to go back to the
World Baseball Classic and just and I noticed you were
you wanted more celebration from the walk off homer by
Puerto Rico.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Yeah, I didn't see enough. Idn't see enough emotion.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
Could you describe for our listeners what exactly that that
walkoff home.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
Was like, I mean, it looked like a choreographed party
in a different country. It was awesome, you know, I mean,
it was absolutely great and I don't know how you
just stand there and wear that in the chest if
you're Nicaragua. I mean, I think if it was in
the American team, there might have been a fistfight if
they cared enough. But it's fun to watch people get emotional.

(19:58):
It's fun to watch people freak out. You know, it's
really interesting, Brady. In today's day and age, if you
build a stadium now, it's not all like this. We
have great things in community. We have you know, the
wave to the kids in the hospital at Kinnick. Yeah,
at Florida, they sing, I won't back down between the
third and fourth quarter, the enter Sandman stuff in Blacksburg.

(20:21):
I mean, there's a lot of stuff that is cool.
But when you build a new stadium today, what are
the one thing they're trying to build all the time?

Speaker 5 (20:28):
Sweets? Sweets and partitioned off areas.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
And you watch the World Baseball Classic and the World
Cup is coming to LA and coming to the United
States North America soon, And I mean there's a real.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Thing about being in community.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
It's not really our deal because we're sportscasters and we don't,
you know, drink before the games and drink during the games.

Speaker 5 (20:51):
And hang out afterwards. What we're doing is working, but.

Speaker 7 (20:56):
Standing with other people in a game and watching stuff
is not as American as it used to be. You know,
we want to sit in a suite next to Ice
Spice and Taylor Swift, like that's what we want to do,
you know, Or like you're Kendall Jenner dancing along to
Bad Bunny who you used to date, and Lewis Hamilton
sitting in front of you, who you also used to

(21:17):
date with your big fat cow sister Kim who he's
dating now, you know, Like that's like the that's become
the American the elite American sports experiences watching from a
suite or watching yeah there she is, or watching the
Armenian Cow, or watching she needs to be milked.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Do brow us your problem?

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Bro?

Speaker 7 (21:41):
You talk about Kim in such way? So I do
think it's kind of sad that we don't stand together
and watch sports in the same way in America like
a lot of these people do, because obviously they're having
the time of their lives like Sergio dipp and we
on the other hand, are just like, hey, I.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Look at Ice Spice, what of that?

Speaker 7 (22:00):
You know, it's it's not I mean, and I know
that people most a lot of people do still have
that experience.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
But it feels like we're is that because is this
because we've made it a for TV product? Like I
always feel like that TV networks battle between trying to
make the atmosphere out of venue look incredible to be at.
Like when you're home, you're like, God, I wish I
could go to that. However, then when you go, it's like, well, now,

(22:27):
like for example, halftime show you bought up that bunny,
people who were there in attendants are like, yeah, it
was awful because the audio is actually just everything's piped
in for TV, not for the people who are actually
there in attendance.

Speaker 5 (22:38):
No, you're right about that.

Speaker 7 (22:39):
Hal halftime shows have just become a steady cam following
a guy around in a maze.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Right, But is that part of it is like we're
so keen on making the product good for TV, we
forgot about the people who actually go there in person.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Well I think that's a great point. But and you
do the big noon show so you would know.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
I mean, it's not like you guys that we are
looking for a game that doesn't have anybody that's error.

Speaker 5 (23:01):
You know what I mean, I mean, you guys.

Speaker 7 (23:03):
I mean that's part of the experience of having a
great TV product is having a great crowd to show.
I mean, when when something bad happens to the home team,
you immediately have a director trying to find a guy
doing the surrender cobra in the crowd, right, or people
excited in the crowd, or people dejected in the crowd.
I mean, the crowd is such a huge part of

(23:25):
the production. But you're right, I mean, it isn't made
for TV product, and that's how they're making the money.
But it's a very difficult balance because every time there's
a big crowd at any sporting event that's into it,
it makes the event better on TV, at the event,
for the players, everybody involved.

Speaker 5 (23:45):
So it's a very interesting thing.

Speaker 7 (23:49):
But I think when we have the World Cup and
the World Baseball Classic and we get to see other
people celebrating from other countries, singing songs, being together, sharing
their culture, it makes me a little bit more ashamed
of Taylor Swift and Ice Spice, if you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (24:07):

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Two pros and a couple Joe Fox Sports Radio, Brady Quinn,
Jonas Knox with you here coming up in about fifteen
minutes from now. We will close up shop on this
Wednesday morning with another edition of The Leftovers that'll be
yours right here on FSR. We obviously started out the
show talking about the Max Crosby situation, the Baltimore Ravens
pulling out of the deal with the Raiders, two first

(27:31):
round picks going back to Baltimore, including number fourteen in
this upcoming draft, and Max Crosby leaves Baltimore heads back
to Las Vegas and now they're just figuring things out.
Diana Rassini had this tweet that she sent out. Earlier
teams that were interested in trading for Max Crosby, including
the Ravens, had conversations with the surgeon, Neil Latrosh, and

(27:53):
the Raiders medical staff before making trade offers. The Ravens doctors,
along with multiple independent ones, viewed Crosby's MRI. They were
unified in the belief that Crosby's short term outlook was positive,
but there were concerns about the long term prognosis of
Crosby's knee, per sources. Baltimore believed the risk was too

(28:14):
high given the compensation that it was giving up. So
you're getting all sorts of different sides of the story
when it comes to exactly what is happening with Max
Crosby and the Ravens and the Raiders side, and Neil Elatross,
the doctor who performed the surgery, who said, you know,

(28:38):
there's obviously he's going to need some time. It'd be
nice if the physical was done later on during his
rehab process, because the results probably would be a little
bit different. But that's not the way this works today.
At four pm is when they need to finalize the deal,
and the Ravens aren't happy with what they saw on
So now Max Crosby goes back to the Raiders for

(28:58):
the time being kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
And do we have we've got break Yeah the Brady
that we got.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
You ye me yeah, yeah yeah. Does this lead you
to believe that the Ravens they if you looked at
the market and said, we've got a concern about the knee,
but if we could find someone who could give us
good production cheaper, maybe we should go that route. I mean,
it lends itself to the idea that as they got
into this, as they looked at the market and saw

(29:28):
Trey Hendrickson available, maybe they felt like he would make
more sense for them, for less and from the least
from the Baltimore Ravens side, because you couldn't have traded
for Max Crosby, you know, not understanding, Hey, he is
coming off surgery. We do want to see you know,
we want to see him out seeing goes through the

(29:49):
physic like we normally would. But all this stuff was
negotiated full well knowing what he was dealing with. And
you can go back to the combine where a lot
of this the framework for these trades, there's discussions actually
start and so it's not like Crosby's agent or even
the Raiders probably were hiding this. And again the Ravens
and Grant a different player, a different knee, but they've

(30:11):
seen this a number of times. They had to have
informed their medical staff of what was going on and say, okay,
let's see the imaging. It just it seems like the
way this whole thing fell apart and some of what
we're reading now, some of the reports that are being relayed
to us, it feels like it's being more of the
you know, put it as to blame for what a

(30:34):
you know, why they're getting out of the deal, but
not necessarily the reason.

Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah, it's not like.

Speaker 3 (30:38):
This is a surprise like they showed up and all
of a sudden there was you know, an issue with
the knee and that they weren't aware of. And I
think everybody and we talked to doctor David Chow last
week and he said, Max Kross, it's it's yeah, he
had a significant meniscus tear. But there's also stuff that
they had to do elsewhere, and you know, even the
Ravens doctor said, you know, short term, you know, we

(31:02):
feel like he's going to be okay, but long term
there could be some issues, which, you know, whatever, whatever
the hell that means. I also I wonder this too,
if you're Baltimore, if you knew that you weren't okay
with this, would you not have increased your offer to
keep Tyler Linderbaum?

Speaker 4 (31:22):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
Like it's almost as if they chose and I know
that they did make an offer, and I think it
went up to twenty two million, But would they have
been more aggressive in wanting to keep Tyler Linderbaum to
at least make sure that, hey, if we're not going
that direction, let's at least, you know, try and keep
our offensive line intact with that guy like that.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
That's why I wonder how much of that had to
do with the other I.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Don't know that they do. I think if you look
at teams and how they go about allocating their cat percentages,
you know, they really do value certain positions more than others.
I just think they got tapped out of how they
view you see, their center, and they were willing to
let him go on with someone else. And I do
think if they had a rookie quarterback as opposed to
Lamar Jackson, who's done it forever, he would be a

(32:08):
bigger deal. And that's why the Raiders are willing to
pay a premium for Tyler Linnerbaum because they know they're
going to have Fernando Mendoza coming as a number one
overall pick, who's a rookie that will need some of
that protection, some of that help this upcoming season with
everything that a quarterback and a center asked to communicating do.
I just I don't think that's value as much in
Baltimore because of Lamar's experience in the system and with

(32:32):
all those guys around them, I feel like they can
probably feel like, you know, put someone else in that
spot or potentially draft a guy to be able to
give them what they're looking for there. So I just
I think it's the different circumstances in different philosophy in
regards to how they go about allocating their cap and
that is something that most good general managers that you
see at the NFL level, and honestly, it's being talked

(32:54):
about more and more at the college level, is the
percentage of you know, the funds that you're receiving there's
obviously not a salary cap per se, but if you're
spending twenty million, thirty million on a roster, you know,
how much are we spending on wide receivers and tackles
versus our center, versus our linebackers, versus our safeties. You know,
those games are starting to blend in regards to the

(33:15):
professional aspect of salary cap allocation. And there's a lot
of schools who are looking for guys who understand how
that works at the NFL level, who are guys who
are capologists and know how to negotiate and know what
the free market is, but also know how to evaluate
when to say when you know otherwise, you know you'd
try to play a guy like Tyler Lindenbaum as muchs
you can to keep them. He's obviously a star player,

(33:35):
he's a trenda's talent, great in the locker room, but
you do have to be disciplined to how you're allocating
that bundy, because you've got to find an edge rusher.
And really what you're doing is now you know you've
created a little more cap space for whatever you're going
to offer a Tree Hendrickson to try to get a
deal done. With him, assuming that he could pass a
cystical and he could be a guy that would make
sense in that system.

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Do you think Max Crows we get traded again. I
think he's going to be on the Raiders. I know
there's already been some rumblings that the Cowboys are now out.
You know, if Baltimore's out, the Cowboys are out, and
the Raiders at least reportedly aren't going to take a
discount based on the medicals. So if that's the case,
I can't imagine any team's going to step up and

(34:15):
offer two first round picks again for a guy who
one team passed on because he's got a bum knee.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Like I think, if I was betting right now, I
would say he's going to be.

Speaker 5 (34:25):
A Raider next year.

Speaker 6 (34:26):
A couple of things on that one. Remember how teams
view future picks. They've usually usually viewed them as a
round behind. So if you say, hey, we get a
one this year and one next year, it's really viewed
in this year's terms. It's draft capital as a first
round and a second op pick. You know, just give
the immediacy of it, and obviously you know when you
don't get the pick right away, can't use it. It's
not valued quite as high. So that's the first thing

(34:48):
i'd say, does someone offer him that same deal? Probably not.
I mean what I would want to better understand is,
you know, it's short term. You think he's good, and
we're let's be honest about what these deals are. His deal,
as far as the way it was structured, was essentially
a two year deal, and then you'd see afterwards, even
though he was gonna be on the under contract for
longer than that, the team would have control. They would

(35:09):
have that point to reevaluate how much more they want
to invest into him, convert some of that salary into
a signing bonus pro rated over the life of the deal,
and allow them to fit it more, you know, under
the cap and commit to him for longer. But I mean,
the doctors just said that shorts term, it looked good
that you're saying for this upcoming year made the following

(35:30):
after So what were you concerned up four or five
years from now? I mean, if I'm the general manager,
Eric Tacosta, I'm looking at it saying like, I don't
know that I'm overly concerned with that. The knee is
then unless there's a much more serious issue because that
doesn't make as much sense to me, right, But if
you feel like and then maybe they should have just

(35:50):
said it, like, we're really concerned about his knee for X,
Y and Z reasons and we don't know that he's
going to be the same player that he was, Like
that would be more justifiable to me than what they've
they've released the least through Diana Rassini and some of
the other media out with so far.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Yeah, it's kind of a wild situation and we will
keep you up to date if anything breaks on that
story with Max Crosby and the trade to Baltimore being
off with him going back to Las Vegas. It is

What up lay Ray?

Speaker 9 (37:19):
Well, I got more details after yesterday we did our
leftovers about Dak Prescott and his fiance calling off their engagement. Well,
new details came out overnight and news headlines are blowing up.
Although no one has said officially, the accusations are everywhere
that Dak Prescott was actually cheating on her for a while.

Speaker 4 (37:42):
So what's the problem You just say that, Well, you
act like the guy did something wrong.

Speaker 3 (37:55):
Okay, Hey, God gave you eyes for a reason.

Speaker 6 (38:04):
Windows shopping Okay.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
Looking around a little bit.

Speaker 6 (38:07):
I mean, I think he was doing more than that.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
But by the way, I do like how the story
went from you know, she she wanted a pre nup
to now he was fooling around. So it tells you
everything you need to know about who's who's getting their
stories out to the media.

Speaker 10 (38:23):
Isn't that crazy?

Speaker 6 (38:25):
Were they living together?

Speaker 10 (38:28):
Belief?

Speaker 6 (38:28):
So?

Speaker 3 (38:28):
Yeah, yeah, they got two kids together, a two year
old and a ten month old.

Speaker 6 (38:34):
They figure how long you lived together? They consider that
common law marriage. I'm not sure if they're Texas is
one of those states, but yeah, it's.

Speaker 5 (38:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
I guess he had, didn't he Like they said that
he had some fake social media accounts to keep in
contact with his exes.

Speaker 10 (38:52):
Yeah, he uses incog.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
So what.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Yeah, he's got incognito accounts that he that he keeps
in contact with sending inappropriate.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Messages to uh to some women. I mean, look, man, guys,
got to eat. I don't have to tell.

Speaker 6 (39:12):
You, Laurena, do you have anything more on this that
you want to die bulge because you keep bringing them thump?

Speaker 9 (39:18):
No, No, that's just the newest h that's the newest.

Speaker 10 (39:21):
Dirt going around in their relationship. Drama.

Speaker 6 (39:24):
Now, I do sure if you were trying to defend her.

Speaker 9 (39:27):
Oh yeah, no, no, I have no sides in this
bet over under not going to make it anyways. So
my other news story, the weight is over and maybe,
just maybe the hype is gone.

Speaker 10 (39:40):
But the Team USA hockey jerseys have officially.

Speaker 9 (39:43):
Been released, so if you want one, you can have
one for two d and thirty dollars.

Speaker 4 (39:49):
Jes Man, look hockey.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
I mean, hockey jerseys are expense because they're sweaters, but they're.

Speaker 6 (39:56):
They're sweet. I like them. I will say this. I
do think they're still running that momentum and wave. The
ratings have been good so far, you know, post Olympics.
It does sound like Gary Bevan, the commissioner, understands where
they're at though, because they've got a media rights deal
coming up too. But they're also cognizant of the NFL

(40:17):
owners probably opting out and trying to get back to
the marketplace. So it sounds like the NHL is probably
going to wait until the dust settles with the NFL
deal before they try to renew their contra. Actually that's
the most recent update. What else.

Speaker 9 (40:34):
I just really like these jerseys and I'm trying to
convince myself I don't need one.

Speaker 10 (40:38):
I don't even watch hockey like that.

Speaker 4 (40:40):
Yeah, two hundred and thirty dollars for a casual, that's
a lot.

Speaker 6 (40:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:44):
I don't know if you, but.

Speaker 9 (40:45):
You can put your favorite player's name on the back
to custom Uz, would you put on there?

Speaker 10 (40:51):
The guy who got his teeth knocked out, the one
that's dating.

Speaker 6 (40:54):
Is it Hues? Jack? Oh?

Speaker 10 (40:56):
Hues? Yes?

Speaker 6 (40:57):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Who's he?

Speaker 6 (40:58):
Is?

Speaker 4 (40:58):
He named the Canadian?

Speaker 6 (41:00):
No?

Speaker 10 (41:00):
Yes, what's her name? I listened to her music all
the time date.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
Mccra Tate McRae.

Speaker 6 (41:06):
Yes.

Speaker 10 (41:06):
Oh she's very talented, very flexible.

Speaker 3 (41:09):
Yeah, she sure is. Brady was telling me about her.
I wasn't familiar.

Speaker 6 (41:14):
No, no, I wasn't.

Speaker 10 (41:17):
I think she used to be.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
I don't even know. I didn't know who the heck
she is? Usual said her name?

Speaker 10 (41:22):
Idea, you should go look her up, Brady to look
her up.
