Speaker 1 (00:01):
Don't listening to Fox Sports. All right, here we go.
Are they the best in the world? Are they? That's
coming right up? Well right now? Good morning, Good morning everybody,
it says Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. He's Bucky
Brooks and Andy Furman, and you know what, we're brodcasting
live for the Fox Sports Radio studios. And without further ado,
without further ado, whatever that means, I'm introducing my friend,

(00:24):
my pal, mister football. He knows more football than anyone
on God's Green Earth, and he's my friend, the one
and only Bucky Brooks. A little music, please, please, thank
you very much? Hellh fuck? How are you? I can't wait?
I can't wait to eat.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
I'm good, I'm.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
All right, my friend. You know, I know it's World
Cup day. I know the finals and yesterday's game. I
was ready to shut off at halftime and they came
back to six to fourth score. Can I just put
that on hold for a second. There's something really eating
it me, really really eating it me. Can I run
it by you because I know you'll have the answer.
Are you ready?

Speaker 3 (00:59):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Okay, here we go. I talk about the WNBA and
you're on top of it. You know the players. We
talk about that, and I've come to the conclusion right
now that the WNBA is all Caitlin Clark are whining
and crying, or the league is picking on her, or
she's picking on them, or and it's disgusting. And also
the WNBA is all about stories about fighting, beneficiating and race. Okay,

(01:25):
that's what it is, Okay, and I'm ready to turn
my back on that league. I love basketball. I enjoy
watching that league play, but it's getting a little bit
out of hand, and I'm blaming the commissioner. But here's
the story that really heating me up. All right. A
man who allegedly sent the racist message to Las Vegas
Aces guard Chelsea Gray on social media has been fired,

(01:46):
all right. The Hilton Grand Vacations announced the firing and
his statement issued to the media outlets the other day.
All Right, the person responsible that they said for posting
this information is no longer with the company, Hilton Grand Vacation.
I don't know what he wrote. I don't know what
the deal was, but the point is that it was
a racist reamwalk. Here's my question. All right, if he

(02:07):
did not have a job, all right, it'd be okay,
think about this for a second. He got fired because
he wrote a racistviewalk and it went public on on
social media. All right. I think it's disgusting. I think
anybody who writes anything racially, whatever it may be a
good bit and different, you know, you should be chastied.
What they should have done is banned this guy for

(02:28):
the WNBA. Here's my question to you, Bucky Brooks. What if,
in fact, the guy didn't have a job and he
wrote that nothing happens to the guy, he could go
to the next WNBA game and continue to write racist
remarks on social media. Now the whole thing is asked backwards.
Don't you agree it's crazy. I don't understand this whatsoever.

(02:49):
The commissioner should have stepped in and said, look, this
guy wrote a racist remark to Chelsea Gray on the aces.
You are not permitted to go to any WNBA for
the rest of your life. Okay, that's part one of
the story. And get a response to the second. And
then the coach of the Toronto Tempo Okay, Sandy Brondello

(03:10):
calls Angel Reese a protected species? Are you freaking kidding me?
And they said that term has been used in Australian
Sports because she's from Australia, to express frustration of a
lots of calls against the player protected species. She's suspended
for a game. What is happening? Now? Fill me in

(03:31):
on what's happening. And I want to know your opinion here.
I'm this guy who got suspended, who wants his job. Please.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Actions have consequences.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
And I don't know if he attended a game before
he decided to make a racist comment on Chelsea Gray's
IG page or whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
But she exposed them.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
She put it on her ig story and this is
something that is common when it comes to dealing with commentary.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
You put it up.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
There, you let the world see who the person is,
and you expose them, and then whatever happens from that
point happens. It so happened that it caught when his
job found out about it, and so they fired him
immediately because obviously that doesn't represent who or what they
want to represent their brand. Look bandon them from a

(04:24):
NBA game. May it may not matter because he may
not be in the city with a WNBA team. He
may have never attended the game and never had any
intention of intending the game. But what he did have
an intention of doing was to utter a directory remark
at Chelsea Gray, which was unnecessary and really disgusting as
it kind of plays out with the coach for the

(04:45):
Toronto Tempo.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
She is a two time champion.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
She's coached at the Phenix Mercury and the New York Liberty.
The comment that she uttered about being a protected species. Yes,
she's talked about that in WNBA context. Other teams have
talked about her using that term. However, when people dug
down and did the history of it. In Australia, protected
species is a derogatory term used to refer to black

(05:13):
people in their country. And so when they dug deep
and they saw that, they suspended her for a game,
and rightfully so, and some would ask why didn't they
suspend her for more? But what she really has done,
she's undermined the trust that she has established with the
players that she's coaching. Because if she will utter that

(05:33):
in the heat of the moment, how does she really
feel about some of the people that she's leading and
interacting with on a daily basis.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
I think she should get some training, I really do.
I mean, you know, again, we talked about the WNBA,
but We never talk about the games itself with the
players or the outstanding players in that league. We talk
about incidents that happened in that league. Remember they were
throwing us sexual toys a year ago on the court.
You know, it's everything but basketball. But this thing really
got to me because this man who was fired for

(06:01):
his job. Again, you're right, I never thought of that.
They may not live in a w city and he
may never gone through a game. But the point is
this that if Joe Blow writes that, you know, he
gets away with murder because nothing's gonna happen. They may
expose his name. He probably would use a phony name.
But if he didn't have a job, he wouldn't lose
a job. So this guy lost his job. The whole

(06:22):
thing is whacked out, It really is. Don't you think
it's crazy? First of all, why would you even do that?
I think it's disgusting, That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
I just mean, but yeah, it bothers me too. But
it's not whiped out. If you decide that that's what
you want to say and that's how you want to
talk to people. If you're don't talk to people like that,
then the consequences that come with that to think about,
like him and his job, Like who cares? He went
out of his way to find Chelsea Gray so he

(06:52):
could utter that comment to her or post it to
her page. So if he's willing to do all of
that work, people should do work to make sure that
he suffers consequences for those actions. When it comes to
the coach like man, we can train and do all
these other things, but either it's in you or its not.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You can't train that out of somebody.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Either you're willing to respect everybody and have human decency
and kindness to everyone, or you don't. Like I don't
think you can train that into people. She has been
in this league long enough to know better, She's walked
the planet Earth long enough to be able to have
grace when it comes to interacting with people who don't
look like her. So I don't have any sympathy for

(07:33):
her and the suspensions or anything else that she faces.
To me, you talk about it's disgusting, it's despicable. But
I just don't know how her own players can look
at her, knowing what she said and knowing what she
may think about them when it comes to uttering things
in those terms.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
And maybe there is a silver lining. Now you kind
of call me down a little bit. Maybe it's a
silver lining with this guy who wrote that message on
IG to Chelsea, Right, maybe the silver lining exist. Anybody
who has a job, who has these feelings will think
twice before putting it on social media for fear of
losing their own job. So maybe it'll maybe it'll curtail

(08:13):
this a little bit. I don't see this disgusting behavior
that much in the NBA as I do in the WNBA.
I don't get it. I don't understand the hate. I
just don't understand hate. I hate hate. How's that? I
hate hate?

Speaker 4 (08:28):
No?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
Look, man, So what has happened with the WNBA? And
I will say this first and foremost, this is not
Kaitlin Clark's fault. However, there's been a faction of her
fan base that loves to kind of wallow in the muck.
Some would say, because maybe she is. She's been propped

(08:52):
up as the savior of the league because of her
her racial status and maybe her sexual like in terms
of being homosexual or whatever, as we assume, and because
the league looks counter to her, and there is a
large homosexual community within that league, like she has been

(09:14):
propped up and those others have been vilified. Now, this
league has existed for thirty years, this league has had
a million players. She certainly has brought some buzz and
some cachet to the league, even though she is not
the best player in the league. She certainly has brought
buzz and cashet and more eyeballs. However, with that has
come like this segment that is purposely targeted her opposition,

(09:39):
people who aren't like her in those things. And so
the reason we hear more about this stuff is because
it is so different than any other league that we've seen,
whether it's the NBA, the NFL, even MLB, Like, we
haven't heard the level of incidents from players talking about this,
and so I think it's a adjustment to having so

(10:02):
many polarizing details leaked out, talked about, discussed while the
league is still making a transformation to trying to be
one of the prominent major sports league in the country.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
I hear what you're saying. All right, let's leave it
at that. You clear it up a little bit for me.
I feel great that you feel the same way I do.
I knew you would It's disgusting and I don't understand
how a coach could do. I could see a drunk individual.
Maybe he was ineburrated at the time when he put
that message on there to Chelsea, But the point is
that a coach, really, I mean, I don't know how
these players could look at her in the face and say,

(10:36):
you know, don't tell me what to do because you
think I'm a species. But that's a story for another day.
Let's move on now. Let's talk about the World Cup.
Yesterday I'm ready to turn it off at halftime for
zip England. England wins that game six' four Over france
to first finished The World cup for them since nineteen sixty.
Six Bookeo seka had a tot trick. Yesterday but here's the.
Deal i'm looking At. England, okay they lost To argentina

(10:57):
the other day two to. One Harry kane And Jude
belling didn't even have a. Touch where were, they you?
Know and they played that prevent defense like the final
forty minutes or, so and it looked like they were
going to do the same thing yesterday in the second
half at a six to fourth game that a four
nothing leaded to. Half how does that happen for? Nothing in?
Soccer is like. INSTRUMENT i, mean it's. Tremendous they almost came,

(11:17):
back and Then billingham came back BELLINGHAMMERS I bellyham came
back with the penalty kit and kind of iced the
game at the. End but six' four with a four
to nothing lead a. Great game it may have been
The Best world cup game. THUS far i think. It was.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It was great because there was a lot.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Of scoring it wasn't so great at the beginning because
it's lacked the intensity that you normally. Would see france
was on record saying that they didn't really see the
point in playing a third place game after the emotional
loss that. They had they thought it was going to,
be very very tough for them to generate the same
kind of intensity urgency that you need to play at a.

(11:56):
High level and the first forty five plus minutes look
Like that england was.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
In it they were.

Speaker 3 (12:02):
On it they played with, More energy they scored like
within two minutes of the game, kicking off and Then
just uparaza goals early. At halftime france Regroups and bop
comes into, the game he gets to they began to
make it a really, good contest and it was exciting, because,
normally look you just don't see six four games, in

(12:24):
soccer at high, level soccer you don't see that, much
scoring and so it was fun to kind of. See
That but i'm gonna, tell you the first half was
not what we expected from a high level Squad. FROM
france i am glad that they got back into it
and made.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
It competitive, but yeah.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
It wasn't it really wasn't exactly what we Expect From world.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
Cup, performances hey by, the way, YOU know i was.
REALLY shocked i had no idea it was going to
be a third place game because really, and truly you
don't see that. Much Anymore march man that says that
had a third place game since nineteen. Eighty ONE the
nit member used to have a third. Place game and
the worst thing about a third, PLACE game i think
it's the team's gonna be losing their last two games that,
They play and that's basically what Happened to. France yesterday

(13:07):
but it was almost a slap on the Face to
france Because when england started, The game Bellingham and kane weren't.
Even playing kane's on the sideline so it was like
they looked at it like. A friendly, i mean they didn't.
EVEN care i don't think to win this ball game
because they were on. The sideline they didn't play their.
Best PLAYERS and i just understand the third. Place game

(13:28):
how do you feel? ABOUT that, i mean, TO me i.
LIKE it i MEAN because i think competition. Is great
get it one more chance to see Him. Bot BAY
hopefully i would Have seen, harry game but he. Didn't
PLAY but i think the bottom line obviously is, more
money more, ticket sales, more money AND obviously tv gets
a shot to get more. Commercials ON so i guess
it helps a lot of people as far as why

(13:49):
they play a third. Place game as far as a player,
is concerned do you think they really care about a third?

Speaker 5 (13:54):
Place?

Speaker 3 (13:55):
GAME no, i, MEAN look i think it's hard to
gear up for a third. Place game and the reason
why it's hard to get for a third place game
is because you condition to, finish first and when you
don't have an opportunity to, finish first it's hard, to,
Say hey i'm okay Being the constellation.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Bracket winner.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
That's it, THESE guys i can't call them quote, unquote
professionals but they are representing their country and the country
takes a lot of pride in, these events so you
do expect to appeal to their professionalism and their pride
to represent the country to. The Fullest, for england coming
off the disappointing loss that they Had, to argentina it
was about trying to put, that loss that bitter loss,

(14:34):
behind them trying to find that energy to take the
next step towards being the team do they want to
be in time for The Next. World CUP but i
do appreciate that after a while malaise the, first half
it did become a very very competitive match and it's
one of the things that we love seeing two great
teams going at it with their great players, making contributions

(14:57):
no doubt.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
About that, you know when you think, about it people
can say why are they playing a third? Place, game
obviously if you ever have a question, in sports you
don't know. The answer it always trickles back. To money it,
really does because finishing third In The world cup number
one obviously more money. Ticket sales we, say that but
it affects the team's fee for ranking and maybe the
position for their qualification and The Next. World cup so

(15:18):
that's a big, deal here and the team, that wins
the team that finishes third gets two million dollars more
than the fourth, Place team so they got to spend
two million dollars about what twenty SIX ways. I guess,
but still when the money is, out there then you want,
TO play i guess that's the. BOTTOM line, i.

Speaker 2 (15:34):
Mean yeah you want.

Speaker 3 (15:35):
To play and some would say that anytime you have
an opportunity, to compete you want to play at a.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
High level.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
That's what should, be done that's how you should approach
it in. Those things, but yeah like there's significant money,
at stake and so if there's money on, the, line
yeah let's let's. Bring it we can talk about pride
and all, those things but at, a minimum it's about
the money factor in the exchange of those big dollars

(16:03):
for your team finishing for a. Certain level and you
also brought up a really really good point about this
the ranking and have what it means, going forward because
it may not mean anything in the immediate future Because
The world cup, isn't there but, going forward as you
continue to fight for your spot in, your, ranking yeah
you want to make sure you take care of those.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
Things, all, right today JUST like fifa. WANTED it i
asked a question at the top of. The hour here
are they the two best teams in, The World. Spain,
ARGENTINA today I guess fifa is lovering this because that's
the way they wanted it. To end and Three o'clock
easter time Today on fox it's going to be for.
The finals are they the two best teams in. THE world,
i mean You got messi out there and to be
back to back finals for the best player in, The.
World messi, But again i'm not so Certain that messi

(16:44):
is going to take them To The promised lamp because
The way argentina's, been playing it's like they just give
that little push the last ten to twelve minutes of
the ball game and then they're winning. The GAME so
i don't know if they can continue that magic Today,
against spain and spain goalkeeper right now has allowed only
one goal in The Entire. World, cup.

Speaker 3 (17:07):
Look here's The thing i'll Say, about SPAIN and i
will say this about the, two teams because you asked
the two. Best, teams yeah they are two best teams
because they've made it through whatever they needed to get to.
This point argentina is The Defending world. Cup champions some
would say that they had a lighter bracket to, go
THROUGH but i will say that they've been tested a few.
Different ways they've had multiple, Comeback victories they've been taken

(17:29):
to extra time and enforced to kind of show their metal,
As champions so they are worthy of being In this
Spain euro. Cup winners spain has been a team that
has been a. Dominant force the Thing, about spain when
you talk to people around, the sport they'll talk about
how systematic, they are how their youth teams play Like
Their world, cup team and the system trickles down from top.

(17:51):
To bottom and even though some would say that they're
a little, more robotic they don't play with the freestyle
or the free flowing accent like. A friend it has
worked for them and they've been a very dominant team for.
A while so this would be a great. Compelling matchup
you obviously have star Power with messi being on. The
field you have a little rivalry in terms of the

(18:13):
bitterness that a lot of people on the outside Feel,
towards argentina not only because of their success but just
in general maybe how they. Handle themselves but, To me
i'll be glued on It Like west. Coast time it
comes on at. TWELVE o'clock i can't wait to. Watch
it it has been one of the great discoveries for
me to like kind of fall in love with the Sport.
From afar this has been Fun and i'm looking forward

(18:35):
to see how this.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
PLAYS out i have two three o'clockation in. Time today
but you know what he Goods. ABOUT spain, i mean
it's really amazing what they DID because i Remember kate
Verde and spain had that nil nil tie, early ON
so I, think, SPAIN really i think they had a
wake up call. WITH that i. REALLY do i Mean,
KATE verde i mean there's more people in my living
in my block than in. That country so we'll talk,
about that. ALL right i do want To. Welcome julian

Pitch Okay and i'm going to say this, right now

(21:25):
every talk show host and radio should come bow Down To,
lebron james bow down and thank him because he has
given them content for the last, two weeks maybe, THREE
weeks i, don't know because that's all they're. Talking about
and in case you, missed it they're talking About The
lebron james being the. Free agent he's obviously the story
of the. NBA's OFFSEASON and i want to, know why,

(21:47):
you know what's the. BIG deal i don't. Really care
wherever he goes is fine. With me he's teasing. The
world but there's only, one person one person that cares
about where. He goes, All right do you want to
take a little bit of a guess who really cares where?
He Goes?

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Andy Freman any freman cares a lot about WHERE you i.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
DON'T care i don't. REALLY care i Think it's i'll
tell YOU who i think it. MIGHT be i Think It's,
adam silvera. The commissioner let me tell. You WHY the
nba has to put their schedule Together by, august first
but mid first Week, of august, All right and when
they get, their schedule they want to Know where lebron
is so they Can highlight lebron at Least On christmas
day because they're going AGAINST. The, nfl now that's the

(22:27):
only REASON why i think he's the only guy who.
REALLY cares i don't really care where. He goes wherever,
He goes god, bless Him and I'll watch i'll. Watch
him it could be a. Swanse long although he's. Forty
one he says he may play two, more years so.
We'll see so let's talk a little about that he
parted ways With the lakers at the End, of JUNE
and i want to know where do you think he?

(22:47):
May go and do you?

Speaker 3 (22:48):
REALLY care, I mean i here just because it's a.
SPORTS story i don't CARE because i have a vested
Interest in lebron and. THOSE things i will SAY that
i understand why so many people are kind of waiting
with vaded breath to kind of see where. He goes
from a, Business standpoint lebron is, big business particularly if
he decides to team up With The Golden State Warriors,

(23:10):
Steph Curry Lebron, draymond green it BE. Musky tv even
though we'll say that team is past. As prime star power,
is everything and star power will make people put butts.
In seats it also make people tune in, and watch
so that. Is compelling if he decides to go home
for the Third, time cleveland that is interesting because that
Team With, Donovan Mitchell james harden and some of the

(23:32):
other young players that they have on, the squad it'd
be interesting to see if he could bring the leadership
factor that maybe they need to get over. The top
the other team's being, talked About the philadelphia seventy six
is a really. Good team They Make jalen brown. Come
over they did some free agent additions to add to
what they already Have In tybro Maxi And. Joel, embiid
yeah it's a compelling story and some would say that
they would be the favorite coming out Of the east

(23:54):
if they, did that and in the launch shot would
Be The miami Heat of Return to Miami With Giannis
anteicompo bam out. Of bio would that be enough to
help him kind of get back to being relevant as
a top four team In, The east who. KNOWS what
i think there would be plenty of people that would
be excited for him to go Back. To MIAMI so
i understand why he is SUCH a i won't, say

(24:16):
polarizing because that's, not it but he is blockbustered when
it comes to a. Ratings bonanza he still has enough
interest that people want to see him and see where.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
He's, playing yeah there's NO doubt i have. Interest TOO
and i tell YOU what i do respect. About him
the longevity that. He's, played okay he's played in twenty
four seasons IN, the nba which is an. Amazing number it.
Really is he's, forty one and he still. Plays well he, plays.
Hard okay but more, than that guy's never gotten, any trouble,
no duy no. DOMESTIC violence, I mean i respect that

(24:45):
because that's almost commonplace in, sports now especially IN. The
nfl it's almost like everything IN. The NFL so i
respect lebon for THAT and i. Enjoy it BUT what
i don't like is the way the media has kind
of pushed him around and created him into a VILLAIN
and i don't think he is. A villain, you know
certainly he'll. Stand up he has political ideas and he could.

(25:06):
Do that he's got the stage, to speak so and
let him. DO so i have no problem. With that
but when they start doing this Comparison With, michael, JORDAN
please i want to stick my hand down my throat
and puke because it's disgusting and it's a. Stupid topic
but THAT'S all i. Talk about WHO'S better Mj and
lebron two, different ballplayers two, different athletes and two. Different,
positions ACTUALLY so i don't want to hear. That anymore

(25:28):
but as Far as, Lebron's concerned god. Bless. Him really,
BUT again i, will say at forty one and he's
playing what a record twenty? Three seasons he'll played twenty
five in all if he plays two. MORE years i
just don't understand why there's. NO asterisk, I see i'm a,
stat GUY and i understand why there's no asterisk next
to his day because as far as the number of games,

(25:49):
he's played the number of points, he scored remember he
never went. To college he had that four additional years IN,
the NBA and i just don't think it balanced out
as far as the tistics. Are Concerned maybe, I'm, CRAZY
okay i. Get it at the end of, the day
it's the number of points you. PUT up i. Get
that but also it's how many games you played to get.

(26:10):
THOSE points, I mean.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I guess but no one plays the same amount in,
any sport, You know like all the greats don't play the.
Same amount no one, just, says oh everyone's gonna play two,
thousand games and once you get to, two thousand everyone
has to quit so we can keep all the records.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
In line it doesn't, do.

Speaker 3 (26:25):
That like it's a. Conversation starter there's some people that
really care about records and whatever total points are versus
point per game average over their career and those things
we're seeing IN the nfl where the records are kind
of impossible to kind of weigh one era against the
next era because you had one era with twelve or,
fourteen games another era with, sixteen games and there we had,

(26:47):
seventeen games and eventually we get the. Eighteen games so
how do you keep the record keeping? In, order yeah
you can put, an astra you can put a little
note up, under it but people don't care because you
don't have enough time to utter those addendums when we talk, about,
like hey this is the all time leading score in. Our,
league oh by, the way he played four more years

(27:09):
to anybody or whatever else that you, Would add it's
just that's just what. IT is i just think this Conversation,
over Lebron and i'm gonna say, it's unfortunate and it's
made a lot of. People money we kind of benefit
from this WHERE sports tv sports media changed over from
being a let's cover, the facts like you might have

(27:30):
a columnist, reporting opinion but then it became hot, take
CULTURE and i Feel like lebron is in the crosshairs
and let's, be honest like first take, cole, pizza whatever
it was the iteration when It Was skip Bayless AND. Stephen,
a smith they Frequently made lebron, the subject and so
it created this discourse about him where there's a faction

(27:52):
of fans that love him and a faction of fans that.
Hate him but we don't appreciate the greatness because it's
always been at the same of This debate LEBRON. Versus
mj Lebron, Versus kobe lebron. Versus whatever and that. Didn't
exist like even when You Had bill Russell And wilt
chamberlain and, those things it wasn't as divisive as this conversation.

(28:15):
Has been and what we're arguing really is something that
can never be DECIDED because Mj and lebron didn't play
in the. Same era so all of this is just,
this endless unimaginative conversation that we're still having twenty plus
years In the.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
Lebron's career.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
It's silly, it's really. It's stupid not even say. It's
stupid first, Of all i'll ask you, this question how
could You Hate? Lebron james what he has done as
a player and what he has done for the league
as far as interest in, the league that's. Number one, Number,
two okay you're talking about people don't really care about.
The statistics. YOU don't i think you may be mistaken.
On THAT and i hate to say that, to you

(28:53):
because you never make. A mistake i love you, TO death.
I do i will tell you This and baseball and
we talked. ABOUT this I think i brought this up
once Before When roger morris went for the sixty one.
Home runs to give him an asterisk because he did
it in one hundred and sixty two games as opposed
To When babe roof did it one. Fifty four so
faceball is the only game that really cares. ABOUT that
i got to believe there's an edict From the commissioner's

(29:13):
office down in various sports, to say do not mention
statistics with asterisks because the public is stupid and they.
Won't know and it's a great conversation pieces for. His
stats Because When jimmy brown broke a thousand, yards rushing
what did he do it in twelve or? Fourteen games
they're playing seventeen, games now, all right there's no asterisk
In The National football league a thousand yards now for,

(29:35):
a rusher it is not really the. Barometer anymore it's
not a big deal to do it in. Seventeen Games
When jimmy brown played For The, cleveland browns what did
he do it? In fourteen? MAYBE twelve, i mean but there's.
No asterisk people, Don't know people have, short memories they,
don't forget and people bet all. The time betting, is
huge and that's what they. Talk about it's. Great conversation
so to put an asterisk on there will put like

(29:56):
a bumper to a wall where people would stop, and,
say yeah, he's great but you KNOW what, i mean,
he's great but he didn't do it in such and such.
A TIME so i think that the commissions of the
leagues perhaps haven't eat, it down do not put aster access.
TO stats i really.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Believe that, UH yeah, I mean i would agree. With
you baseball does care a lot about. Their statistics, but
baseball there's also a sport that, the people the gatekeeper of,
the guardians, the Writers the Hall of, fame voters they
do have a bit of a holier than the attitude
that kind of because you're so, statistically driven and because

(30:37):
you hold those things near, and dear it gives you,
more power. More control and just like athletes, have egos
those on our side they also, have egos and so
there's a lot of ego driven like baked into all
of these things that. Were discussing, but yes, stats matter
the number of games that you do in, in career competence.

(30:57):
To whatever there's a nuance certainly to. Those things, but
yes stats are still a big part of what we
believe in any.

Speaker 2 (31:04):
Others force and.

Speaker 1 (31:06):
You, KNOW what i would have to see The players
union may be involved in that because if a guy
is leading the lead, and Receiving Like, jamar chase they just,
named him but the best receiver In The National, football
league he's going to go to negotiate a contract and
he's going to show his stats through, his agent and
the agent's not going, to, say well by, the way
there's an asterisk here because, you Know Maybe chad johnson
Was under bengals and he did that in less Games

(31:27):
Than jamar chase. Did, it no they don't. Want that
they want the stats the way it is, right now
the way they play, right now and forget asta right
is not the way it. Would be if you're, an
agent you're gonna go there and sell out to the team,
and say my guy led the league in, receiving period end.
THE story i don't care how many games. They play
that's the name of.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
The, GAME.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Yeah i mean agents are certainly going to represent their
client to the fullest when it comes to trying to
get the most money based on the market data and.
Those things it. Does MATTER but i think we're so
being on THAT when i would say front, office wise
because with all the analytical things and quantitative data that
they can. Pour, from yeah those surface level stats may

(32:09):
matter yards for, attempt catches, rusting yards all that, Other
stuff but people are digging deeper and they're making decisions.
On that but for fans and the fighter that exists in, our,
world yeah we do like. The numbers we do like
to see where people kind of stack up and rate in,
those things and we'll continue to. Have that that'll still
be a big part of our discourse.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Going, FORWARD right i, tell you as far as people
behind the microphone talking about statistics and comparing athletes one against,
the other, you know, forget it throw it out. THE window,
i mean, it's ridiculous. It's moronic and more, THAN that,
i mean you're gonna Talk About lebron james the amount
of points, he scored and forget about how many games
he did. IT in, i mean and. It's great, Believe

(32:49):
me i'm impressed what. He's done but remember he had
four more years under his belt than the other guys who.
Did not that's just. The difference but the bottom line
is he did it and the fact that he may
be playing at least forty three. THAT'S unreal, i mean,
to me that's more impressive Than What tom brady did
In The national. FOOTBALL league i really.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
BELIEVE that, I mean i don't know if it's, MORE
impressive i would put it ON par i would say
the Thing About tom brady's accomplishments at forty, five is
let's look at the quarterbacks that are trying to get
there and the fall off that we've seen before they
even hit forty the few that have been able to
play at the. Highest level the same thing that can
be Said, For, lebron like no matter what people talk

(33:28):
about when it comes to the comparison, BETWEEN him Mj
and kobe and, Those guys lebron is the only one
who at this age continue to be a. Dominant player
and people can talk about all those other things and
does it matter if the league is softer, or whatever
but the numbers are, the numbers and his performance certainly
deserves to be celebrated based on his dominance at his age,

(33:51):
twenty three twenty four years in, the league to continue
to be a guy that is able to put up
over twenty points, per game to be able to lead
a team like he led in the, post season where
you saw him go back to being the number one
option after being the number three for most of. THE
season i think that's a testament to who he is and. His,
greatness now all of this is interesting because the storylines

(34:12):
that we have la. Moving on there's a narrative being
titered out there amongst pundits about nobody Really, wants lebron
like he's not, real well like people are not clamoring for,
his services that this move where he hasn't decided his
thing is, a selfish ego, driven thing much like he's.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Always been so you also have all of. THAT noise i. Don't,
KNOW look i don't know what free agency.

Speaker 3 (34:36):
Looks like he has every right to take his time
to pick and choose what team. He wants we're the
ones on our side that are making it a bigger
deal about this decision that he has to make as
a forty plus year old guy who is going to
be a piece of, the puzzle not the entire postle,
Going forward no doubt.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
About That He's. Bucky brooks i'm maybe Firmawee A Fox,
SPORTS Sunday A Fox. Sports, radio hey by, the way
he's got the answers and you're gonna. Hear him, Why
yes bucky. Is Next.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Fox sports radio has the best sports talk lineup in.
The nation catch all of our Shows At foxsports Radio
dot com and Within the iHeartRadio APP search fsr to.
Listen live, All, right.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
Well that stevie wanted to take us right at To.
As bucky sbucky coming right up right Here On Fox.
Bus Sunday He's bucky Brooks And. Andy ferman and by,
the way we're live From The foxbus. Radio studios about
twelve minutes before the top of, the hour a bucket
begot a present. For you julie is gonna handle, It,
today julian are you ready For? As, bucky, yes sir
let's do it.

Speaker 7 (35:37):
All RIGHT the nfl Has Suspended arizona cardinals Personnel Executive
ryan gold indefinitely for violating the league's. GAMBLING policy i
think this was insider trading of. Draft information why should
he be allowed?

Speaker 3 (35:51):
To?

Speaker 5 (35:51):
Return, bucky, UH yeah i.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Don't know if he will be allowed.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
TO return i think this is probably the first steps and.
Eventual TERMINATION but i think the league is certainly going
to make sure that doesn't look good when you have inside,
of TRAINING so i would expect him eventually to.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Terminate him but.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
This is probably part of the process that they have
to do to.

Speaker 5 (36:10):
Make determination, all right any?

Speaker 7 (36:15):
OTHER thoughts i know you talked about it Earlier about
England defeating france six to.

Speaker 5 (36:20):
Four, YESTERDAY.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
Look i think the biggest thing would be Why didn't
england play the young kid who had the? HAT trick
i blank on. MY name i think his last name Is.
Shay like he had three. Three goals he had two
early and then came and got the third. One late
you wonder when they decided to pull all the, way
back why didn't they. PLAY him i think that's the

(36:43):
one that. They'll regret they also regret why didn't they
finish like the semi final with the same kind of
aggression that they showed in the third, place game because
that was there for theirs To take.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
You excuse ME if i baye jump in it for.
A secon when You watched england, play yesterday the, first
half it looked like that could have beaten anybody the
way they played in the first half and the second
half they fell back like they did in The semis
right in the semi, final, games right they look just
lackadaisticle to play that prevent defense kind. Of defense it.
Was ridiculous it really was two.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
Different, teams yeah two different teams in terms that they
packed the box. Or Whatever bukayo osaka is the one
who had the. Hat trick he's the young kid who
didn't play in, the semifinal but you certainly saw. The
talent you wondered why didn't they use him in the.

Speaker 7 (37:27):
Previous game, All, right bucky here's a. Fun one would
you rather Attend The, world cup The, super Bowl, The
Olympics disney World Or taylor Swift And travis? Kelsey's? Wedding
wow of.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
All, OF those, i Think if i'm gonna go on,
THE rarity i would Say probably Travis and taylor's wedding
because that would make me one of only a handful
of people that were able to be in the building in.
That Moment With, World Cup super bowls and those other
things they come. And go you can, get there but
this will be the only time did these two get
married to?

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Each OTHER so i already.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Be, there yeah you could buy a ticket to, anything
else they. Really could that's. A goodie i.

Speaker 5 (38:12):
Like, that yeah that's a really.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
Good answer the final, question here baseball has a strike
looming in twenty. Twenty seven what are your thoughts on
a possible salary cap change IN.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
The Mlb, OH no i don't like that, because see
the salar cap only benefits.

Speaker 2 (38:29):
To owners it doesn't benefit.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
The players and everyone is, gonna, say oh it's going
to level the, playing field but what it's going. To
do the chief owners are not going to use the.
Money anyway everyone's not in this sport to compete. For championships,
SO no i don't like the. Sally cap as you
continue on as. It's been this is just a bunch
of millionaires wanting trying to keep the cost down so

(38:51):
they can pocket. More money it's no different than what
we see in our.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
Daily lives, you know, it's funny you bet, you that
because you look at the situation. Right now the teams
Like the dodge obviously big money and they're. Doing great
But the mets spend as much or maybe more Than,
the dodgers and they can't find their way out of a. Paper,
Bag okay so and then and then you look at
the situations Small, Markets, Milwaukee, Tampa, bay. Cleveland whatever those

(39:14):
teams are successful and they're small markets and they don't
have the money coming in as a. Big MARKET so
i don't think the money situation is that big of,
a deal but it's used as, an, excuse right that's.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
THE key i very much use this excuse because everyone
hats That the dodgers are high right now because they
are spending a ton. Of money they do have star power.
Or whatever but the money is a part, of it
but it certainly goes beyond it when you're building a, championship.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
Team RIGHT and i think that if a team who
has a lot, of money Like the mets and can't find,
their way they can't, find anywhere they. Can't, WIN okay
i would clear the front office and hire someone from
a smaller market that's. Had success i'd highlight the assistant
General Manager tampa bay and making my. General manager obviously
he knows how. To Win tampa bay knows how to

(39:58):
win in a. Small, market competitive they're.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Very, COMPETITIVE yeah, i, mean, LOOK look i think you
can continue to. See that it's not a surprise to
see teams pill for executives from, winning PROGRAMS and i
think you will see something.

Speaker 1 (40:11):
That happen, All, right julian how do? You do how
do you think?

Speaker 4 (40:15):
You do?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Your nervous? You? DID okay i?

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Feel good?

Speaker 1 (40:18):
All right all?

Speaker 4 (40:19):

Speaker 1 (41:45):
You doing everything? IS great i want to. DISCUSS this
i know you wrote about that breaking out defensive team IN.

the number one writer FOR. THE nfl i really. BELIEVE
that Nfl dot com catch him. EVERY week Nfl dot
com you'll read. His columns you got to? Win this
who will get that in. A SECOND but i want
to backtrack a little bit about, This Guy, ryan Gold

(42:07):
The arizona cardinals personnel executive WHO the nfl suspended right
now because their investigation determined that he was, providing confidential
non public inside information regarding the twenty twenty six draft
selections By The. Arizona, Cardinals obviously gold has the right
to appeal. To suspension now immediately when people, see this
you know they're gonna say ah ah because, the gambling gambling,

(42:30):
did it, you KNOW bet mgm and. Everything else, you
know all you got to do is get on your
phone and bed and people are. Going crazy AND. The
nfl you never get in bed with the gambling because
it's going to hurt. The league, and no that's not
The reason i'm gonna SUPPORT, the nfl because it's a.
Revenue stream and WHY do i, Say that because let's.
Go backtrack TURN the NFL. On tv what do? You

(42:52):
see you see? Beer commercials is EVERYBODY driving dui because
of the? Beer, Commercials No and i'm gonna go back.
Even further back in. The day the greatest hitter in
the history. Of baseball his Name Was. Ted williams yes
He Was ted williams played For The Boston. Red sox
you know what. He did he did commercials, for, Cigarettes
cigarettes think about that back in. The, day yes. He

(43:14):
did so if people have, a, choice really and, This
moron ryan gold had a choice and he decided. To
gamble that's what. He did it's, A disease i. Get
it but you, know what everybody has, a choice and
everybody is not drinking beer and getting in their car
AFTER an nfl game because there are bigger COMMERCIALS. On
tv do you agree, with Me.

Speaker 3 (43:33):
Mister, brooks, YEAH yeah, i mean like you would like
to think that you can. Separate it there will be
some noise about, it though being gain and how gambling
HAS infiltrated us sports and maybe it compromises some of
the integrity that we have around our favorite games with,
this situation we talked about inside, of Trading and i'll,
be honest the bigger THING is i knew people can bet,

(43:56):
on anything but the fact that people are betting on
all of these markets and outcomes and all this other
stuff is just taking it to. Another level it's one
of the THINGS that i THINK the nfl certainly is
going to try And make ryan an example to discourage
others from following. The same but we've seen it in
all of. Our sports betting has been a. Big deal,

(44:17):
and look we may not say that it's a direct
influence from the sports leagues getting in bed with the
online sports books and, gambling itself but we are seeing
MORE so i do think it's something that we have
to be, aware.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
Of right and we discussed this to some extent, last
week and that This Guy, ryan gold if he was
seen at a racetrack betting on horses or, the greyhounds
whatever it, may be highlight whatever it, might be and
then someone catches it FOR the, nfl office would he
be in trouble in that regard to because he quote.
IS gambling i. DON'T know i wouldn't think so because

(44:52):
IT'S not, nfl, RELATED right i would.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Think REPEAT which i mean if he was found to
do what.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
If he was betting on horses on, A, Basis.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
Yeah like it's still this, murky, thing right they're trying
To take they're trying to make sure that the employees
aren't compromised in.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Any, Way right and so whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:13):
You're, gambling on you don't want to be deep in
debt where now you're kind of vulnerable or targeted by
a gambling or organization operation that could make it where
you compromise the game based on some of the decisions
that you make personally. Or whatever it'd, be really really
interesting to see how this goes through and what the
investigation turns up Beyond like ryan like betting on the

(45:38):
draft and, those things what else is he into and
how many others are kind of into similar things and.
THAT stuff i think what you want to do if
you're the league is get ahead, of it make sure
that you don't have, any issues or try and kind
of project out what potential issues.

Speaker 2 (45:52):
We could have down.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
The line but you don't want to scandal to hang
over the top of the league going into the, regular
Season RIGHT and.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I would venture it against this and see if you agree.
WITH this i would say that with the advent of
gambling and it's so war it's so easy to do
that it's in, your pocket at, your phone it, REALLY
is i would think that those who had not gambled
prior to that are not. GAMBLING now, I mean i
worked at racetracks most of my life AS a. PR
guy i really. NEVER gambled i just had no interest.

(46:23):
IN it i worked there as a AS a pr
guy and kind of, promoted, jockeys statistics how many game races,
they want things, like THAT and i. Didn't gamble and
the fact NOW that i can gamble through. MY phone
i still. Don't GAMBLE so i think that if you
have a, gambling itch so, To speak i'm not gonna
use the term disease a. Gambling itch you're gonna gamble

(46:44):
regardless of the phone or a non phone now that
you have. A phone if you never were interested, in
it you're not, gonna, Gamble right that's just the way.
IT is i know it makes it easier, to GAMBLE
but i don't think you're going to do so because
you don't have that interest in. Doing, IT.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
Yeah i think it's all about, the interest because where there's,
a wiel there's. A way if your interest, is peaked
you'll find a way to kind of try and work
around some of the things that the league is put
in place to prevent you.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
From gambling so that's not what.

Speaker 3 (47:12):
It is it's being able to, control this being able
to dibble and dabble, in it like for. Entertainment purposes
but as, we know there are plenty of people who
don't do it just. For entertainment they're doing it as
a livelihood or way, of, Life.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
Right and it's being exposed more because it's easier. To
gamble we see what's happening IN the nba right now
for various plays IN, the nba AND certainly i think
that if you have any, brains whatsoever if YOU'RE an,
NBA player, nfl player whatever it, may be you're gonna
think twice before you want to make. A wager, i
mean your whole careers at stake and your livelihood and more,

(47:46):
than that you're. Being embarrassed and that's, EVEN worse i.
Would THINK so i think you'd hold back to us a.
Little bit AND again, I say i defend these leagues
for looking for, revenue streams and gambling has been a
very big revenue stream for. These leagues so you can't
slap them around blame them for doing it because it's
been around. For, YEARS again, i say back in the

(48:07):
day they had. Cigarette commercials is everybody? Smoking, cigarettes no
you have. A choice they have beer commercials right now
ON every. Nfl game are you drinking to such an
extent that you're staggering down the flight? Of? Steps no
are you driving after? A game? Du y maybe, some
ARE but i don't think, you are because you have
the consciouscy of the brain power TO say i don't.

(48:30):
Think so i'm not going to.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
Do this you.

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Have choices.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
You certainly, have choices and you just got to make
sure that you make the. Right CHOICES and i think
what the league, would do and what all these sports leagues,
will do is they'll step up their training in terms of,
the awareness making sure their guys are fully aware of
the risk associated. With gambling they'll step up, their security
continue to monitor these things to make sure that the

(48:54):
game is being, played fair the integrity hasn't, been compromised
and they'll continue to have a generalized discussion with the public,
about gambling and they'll put the little disclaimers at the
end about if you have a, gambling problem PLEASE, CONTACT
x Y. And z they're trying to protect themselves on.
Every front, but, look man it's certainly. Infiltrated sports it's

(49:17):
one of those things that we're finding ourselves having to
have that conversation more than we anticipated based on the
amount of employees and players that have been involved in.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
These things one, last QUESTION because i know you have.
The answer you close to, The players you've, been there
you were a player IN. The nfl how could they?
Monitor that how could they monitor unless do they take
your phone and examine? Your phone how could they MONITOR
an nfl player if he is gambling a wagering. On
games how could they?

Speaker 3 (49:44):
Do, that well the sportsbooks kind of, flag them you
KNOW what, I, Mean like i'm not, a GAMBLER but
i do know you have to put your tax information
and all your other. Stuff in, they know and they,
can tell obviously you've been doing this for a. Long
time they can tell the oddities that may come in,
odd bets, you know random wagers on people that don't
play a lot or don't, have significance but all of

(50:05):
a sudden you see a lot of money come in.
On them it just leads to some raised eyebrows and some.
Red flags this would be a chance for everyone to
get on board and figure it out because they are
catching these people that are, catching players and so everyone
must know none of this is.

Speaker 1 (50:23):
A surprise, all right, well said AND now i know
we put that. To bed now let's go back to
the NUMBER one nfl rider in. The World That's. Bucky
brooks he has a winner. This week nfl dot com
to Twenty Six All. Breakout team how do you pick
an old? Breakout team what is an all? Breakout team
film me IN because i. READ it i, was IMPRESSED
but i don't know how you become a. Breakout player

(50:45):
and some of these guys are at the age of
twenty five. Or more how could you be a breakout
guy at twenty five when you haven't done anything until.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Twenty five, you know normally in, the league in, league
circles scouts, and evaluators we'll tell you it takes three
years to determine whether guy. Can play they also will
tell you that the biggest jump that most guys make
between the first and, second year sometimes their second and.
THIRD year a lot of the players that are on
this list are guys that are making. Those transitions either

(51:13):
they're concluding their third season and going into the fourth
and it's almost time for them to get paid and
to step up and play a. Major role or it's
a situation where this was a highly tired guy that
was taken in the. First round they showed flashes at
the end of, the season and now you expect them
to take all the information from playing a, real game
having a full offseason dedicated towards getting better as opposed

(51:37):
to preparing for, the combine and we should see a
major spike in. Their game so that's what the list
is canprise of you talk about twenty five years, Of,
age well the guys that are coming out of college,
are older so we got to kind of adjust that
that model when it comes to age and expectations based.
On age some of them still can be, twenty five
but haven't had the experience that you would think most

(51:59):
twenty fives would have in the.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
Collegiate, game, okay now does it count as a breakout
season or is it all? For not if you play
on a, losing team they don't go to, the playoffs
could you still have a breakout seat an individual have
a breakout year and the team.

Speaker 3 (52:13):
Still, STINKS yeah i mean you can have a breakout
year if the team steaks like you, play well.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
TEAM stunk i, Mean.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Yeah joe burrow had a great year and the.

Speaker 3 (52:25):
Team, stunk yeah but you can still look at it, and,
say OKAY like, i, mean look this is not what
we wanted, team wise, but, individually uh the young players coming,
along now we got to get him to play at
a high level while getting.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Others to play at.

Speaker 3 (52:39):
His level and maybe some of that is like we
need to give you more leadership responsibilities because you need
to bring them. Along with you can you. Handle that
can you do all? Of that can we create an
environment where you have all that? In place, but individually
we always are looking at every individual and kind of
tracking their progress. As players and what you want to
see is you never see it because success, isn't linear

(53:02):
but you want to see state.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
Of improvement from.

Speaker 3 (53:03):
Your player and if you have a lot of confidence
in your drafting system where you take these guys based
on what you think they're gonna be down, the line
then you have a mix of patients and grace while
they're kind of scuffling and trying to find, their way
knowing that the right people are gonna get to the,
other side and when they get to the, other side they're.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
Gonna, flourish okay you have eleven defensive players with you
said serious. Breakout potential are you ready to divulge these
names to the general public right now that. You handpicked
are you ready to?

Speaker 3 (53:33):
Do, that yeah let's go, Through.

Speaker 1 (53:34):
This okay and the number, one guy guess was the
guy who was the third pick in the twenty TWENTY
five nfl draft places For The New York. Football Giants.
Abdul carter tell me about, this guy but he's about
twenty two to twenty three years.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Of, age yeah he's twenty two three years. Of age
but it's not even so much. To age it's more
so the opportunity gets in front. Of Him denard wilson,
comes over has the new, Defensive Coordinator john harbust the new,
head coach and they want to play in a text. Oule,
defense well they have a lot of Weapons Around abdua
carter that should. Help him you think About rvl rees
being drafted, Coming Over, Caevon Tippadau brian burns being in.

(54:09):
The building they're gonna play in a very aggressive style
that's gonna create some one and more opportunities. For him,
to me this is. No brainer this.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
Is easy to say That abdu carter.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
Should Breakout, and plus when you're a top, five player
meaning taken within the top, five picks you're supposed to
tilt the field in your, team's direction And abduall carter
certainly has a talent to be able to.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
Do that so he's your number, one guy your number one.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Breakout, GUY look i don't know if they were ranked.
IN order i just ranked him. BY position i just
filled out an all eleven Team. With nickels so his,
four linemen, two linebackers.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
Five, dbs okay we got a. Defensive tackle but he
didn't play much last year because he was Injured On
wilton nolan For The. Arizona cardinals, AND honestly, I mean
i feel bad for the guy because he may be
on the worst team IN.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
THE nfl, i mean he might be on the worst
team IN. The nfl but Here's what i'll say. ABOUT
him i just think that the flashes. LAST year i
was able to get a chance to. SEE him i
saw him Playing the jags, and look he was likeights
out and he only played six games, last year but
the flashes. Were explosive they were exactly what you want

(55:15):
to see from a. Disruptive, player he, to me is
their best. Defensive lineman they're gonna showcase him and give
him an opportunity to make. MORE plays nf healthy ullc.
HIM dominate i just think the disruptive flashes from his
rookie season and that small sample size of games is
enough to make you want to bet big.

Speaker 1 (55:33):
ON him i tell, you, what though this is amazing
because to, the nets when you have another defensive tackle From,
the giants he's. Twenty five But It's. Darius alexander so
if You're a, giants fan you should be pretty excited
because maybe on the offensive side of the ball that
got some, question walks maybe with an, offensive line but
defensively they could.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
Be, strong yeah defensively they. Are strong they will continue to.
BE strong i think that's gonna be the biggest shift
When the giants have been good is because their defense
is carried. The Way darius alexander's gonna give them an
opportunity to. Do, that now second round pick Out, of
toledo he has to step into a big role Because
dex lawrence was, traded away and even though you want

(56:10):
to have expectations on him To Be, dexter lawrence because
he's surrounded by so many premiere playmakers on, the outside
he has to be good enough to Help the giants
get into these, obvious situations obvious past situations that allow
their pass rushes. To Hunt So darius andersen needs to
be stout and sturdy against. The run he needs to
flash disruptiveness on. THE inside i just think going all

(56:32):
the way back when he was, coming, OUT man i
loved how. HE played i think this is opportunity a
great opportunity for the second year pro to kind of.

Speaker 1 (56:38):
Step up let me stop you for, a second because
there's a lot of buzz in the City of Cincinnati With,
dexter lawrence and they look at him as the. Next
savior they. Really do if he's that good a why
Did the giants? Trade him and be From what i've
read and maybe a way off based on This, that
harbar the coach Of the giants, right now was not
too Pleased with lawrence the way he Came to candle

(56:59):
the first time he. Saw him said he was out
of shape and he. Was overweight.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Both things. Are, true look he was out, of, shape
overweight didn't really come in and. Participate much he wanted a.
New Contract the giants were unwilling to do that based
on what they've seen, from Him and dexter had some
harsh feelings towards. Your organization i've NOTICED when i firs
See The cincinnati bengals every, third day there's Something at dexter,

(57:23):
working out, being around being in the, weight, room, mentoring
teaching leading. THOSE things i think he's energized by the
fact that whenever you, get traded, dump cut, or whatever
you have a tendency to want to show your team
here's what you missed. Out on so this would be
the best version that we've seen A dexter Lawrence in
cincinnati because it's gonna be the opportunity for him to

(57:44):
dispell some of the narratives that have been out there
on him.

Speaker 1 (57:47):
And for the. Society fans can he make a difference
on that defensive side of the football we stay with
terrible defensively.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
List, year absolutely he can make. A difference i expect
him to make. A difference he's a big. Time player
he's always been a big. Time player and what he's
gonna do is he gonna have them on. Early downs
if they can win on, early downs that gives them
a chance to be able to bring pressure on those
later downs and get off. THE. Field desl lawrence sets
to play a big part of their run defense while
also giving them some pass rush between.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
The tackles and.

Speaker 1 (58:14):
Will the giants be sorry they?

Speaker 3 (58:15):
TRADED him i think they'd be yeah, and no they'll
be sorry because he is a. Good player you don't
like giving up. Good players but also he was a
very expensive player and an older player you don't want
to commit and invest too much money when guys getting north.
Of thirty and that's what the decision end of the
dilemma was For. The giants how much do we pay
him knowing that most guys are going to quickly decline,

(58:38):
after thirty particularly if they're having, weight issues and that
ideal you had to retain your. Own STARS but i
think this could be the rare win win for. Both Organizations, all.

Speaker 1 (58:48):
Right you got to line Back On jaha campbell Of,
the eagles AND what i like About, The Eagles vic
fangio is one of the best defensive coordinators In The National. Football, League, Agreed,
yes okay so You got campbell Playing. Of fangio, you
Know if campbell has any talent, At all fangio is
going to bring it out.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Of, him well.

Speaker 3 (59:06):
His thing he's an ultra. Athletic linebacker he's, a, bigger
faster stronger guy than His Predecessor. Nikobe dean he's smart
enough to take the green dot and call the defense
if he. Has to he has some past rush ability
that you'd like to see from the. Second Level And
vic fangiel has repeatedly routine he found ways to get
his best players into.

Speaker 2 (59:26):
The mix put him in prou positions to make.

Speaker 3 (59:29):
Impactful plays he will find a way To Make john
campbell a very effective player by deploying him the.

Speaker 2 (59:35):
Right way you.

Speaker 1 (59:36):
KNOW why I Like vic Fangil and i've never met,
the GUY but i think he knows. His space he
knows what street. He's on WHAT do i mean? By
that he knows he's, great defensively a great. Defensive coach
he doesn't vie for a head. Coaching position maybe, HE
does i, don't KNOW but i think that he's probably
very well paid as a defensive coordinator and he knows
that's his strength and he's going to stay on.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
His, STREET yeah, I mean i think that's part of
what makes. Anybody great part of what makes you great
is to be able to understand exactly who you are
and how you get down AND when i look at
THEM and i look at how some of these, guys
play Like Like vic fangiol puts his guys in a
position to play well because he only asked them to

(01:00:18):
play to. Their strengths that's. Great coaching that's why he's
one of the best and, abiss.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Right Said The. Peter principal you could be a great
teacher in the classroom does not necessarily mean you'll be
a great principal or a leader. Of teachers, you know
stay in. Your lane, but again, you know money is,
a factor and if you go from a teacher to,
the principal you're going to make a lot of. More
money you could make a lot. More money so that's.
The problem but it is a situation where you know
your strength stay where.

Speaker 5 (01:00:42):
You are.

Speaker 3 (01:00:43):
That's, IT yeah i mean that is a big part.
Of it knowing your strength stand where you need, to
be putting people in a position to do. Great things but,
more importantly you have to know yourself before you know
other than if you know yourself gives you a chance
to be the best version because you're only gonna put
yourself a position that allows you to play to your
strengths with.

Speaker 1 (01:01:02):
Your permission can we finish this team up in the?

breakout team as Compiled By BUCKY brooks nfl. Dot com

(01:02:16):
you could check it out. OVER there i just want, To,
know buck have you gotten any feedback you wrote about
these guys? Breaking out anybody right back to here and
say thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
OR comment, i, mean look you always get some kind
of reaction as, to like why would you put this
person on, the list where's? That person, et cetera. Et
cetera BUT now i. FEEL good i feel great about
the PEOPLE that i selected on. This list the breakout
thing is a, big deal going all the way back
to a couple of YEARS ago jsn, and, saying ay
it's about time for him to break out, and shine

(01:02:45):
like we have been able to identify some guys that
end up having great. Years now it certainly helps when
you have a bunch of first rounders populating, the list
because you expect your first round players to be the
better players on.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Your team but we've also been able to uncover some hitting.

Speaker 1 (01:02:59):
Gyms, Too, right okay we got, the linebacker, another linebacker
this one For The, tennessee Titans. Cedjac gray and you
said he's a. Tackling machine how was he a?

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
TACKLING machine i mean he was fifth in total tackles,
last season, You know and when you have an opportunity
to be Around to some people, will, say yeah it
was on the fuel a bunch because their team, was,
Terrible Right but, i'll say if you look at the
middle linebackers that are typically Played For, robert solid they've
always had a big impact on. The game most recently
when you Look At fred warner now SAYING. That Cj

(01:03:31):
ceda gray deserves to be in that category and. That
conversation but he is a, fantastic player great instincts. And
awareness he's going to be giving a lot of freedoms
as the green, dop player, the communicator the guy that's
controlling everything in. The middle because he's already been, SO
productive i expect his production to continue to go up
as he's given a little more freedom to be a
sea ball.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Kipball linebacker this guy, right, now cornerback is one of.
MY favorites i got, to admit, You know i'm a,
sports SNUB but i do have. My favorites you're a favorite,
Of mine but this guy's a favorite on, the field not,
the favorite but one. Of Them travis hunter cornerback For
the Jackson, with jaguars and the great news is he's
Coming to cincinnati with you. This Fall so i'm going
to see him Both and i'm going to see you.

(01:04:12):
As well number two pick on the twenty Twenty. Five
Drip but i'm concerned because he did have an injury.
LAST season i think it was a. Knee injury how's
he doing? Right?

Speaker 3 (01:04:20):
Now, uh look everyone talks, about him how he's, On
schedule he's doing everything to be. Back right to expect
him to make be a major factor going forward in
terms of how this, team operates the way this, team
plays particularly, On defense he's an outstanding instinct of corner
that should play well in his. Own scheme and on

(01:04:40):
offense he'll have. A role they're not quite ready to
dismiss him as a two, way PLAYER but i think
the growth Park, of washington the Emergence Of, jacoby maies
the Return Of Brion thomas junior makes It Where travis
hunt is a bit of a luxury item, on offense
but he still will play a major role on both
sides of. The ball just think his emphasis early would

(01:05:01):
probably be.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
On defense does he want to play? Both ways is that?
His deal and he's told the, COACHING staff i want
to play both WAYS because i think you talk about.
INJURY factor, i, mean obviously the more, you play the
more opportunity to, get injured and playing both ways is
not going.

Speaker 3 (01:05:14):
To, help YEAH but i think there's something to playing
both ways when you're a special player like he's, always
been and if you're, a coach you're in the business
of putting your best eleven on. The, field he without
question is one of the best eleven, on defense and
you may have to argument he's one of the best eleven.

Speaker 2 (01:05:31):
On offense so you want to give him an opportunity to.

Speaker 3 (01:05:33):
MAKE plays a lot of it has been because it
hasn't been done really before or in a. Long Time
looking i'm gonna be honest, With You deon sanders and,
Before Him roy green For, The Cardinals, Saint, Louis, arizona.
Cardinals Whatever roy green played both ways and people don't
talk about him enough as a wide receiver.

Speaker 2 (01:05:51):
Defensive back but he. Did it dion.

Speaker 3 (01:05:52):
Did it it's rare to have people who have to
not only skills set to be able to, do it
but have, the stamina the competitive stamina to be able
to go on both sides of. The ball.

Speaker 2 (01:06:02):
Is unique.

Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
It's, rare okay here's. The question because you're close with this,
ball Club the jacksonville. Ball club, you know these offensive
units of defensive units. Have meetings how does he? Handle
that when the offensive units meeting with the offensive coaches
and then the defensive units meeting with. Their coaches what does?
He do how does?

Speaker 3 (01:06:19):
That work here's a day, of emphasis like. He like
some days are more, offensive days other days the more.
Defensive days, last year he spent a lot of time
on offense because he has so much, to learn, you
know and so they wanted to make sure that he
was up. To speed he, knew everything he could process
everything and make. It happen now, this year he'll spend

(01:06:41):
more time, on defense and they'll probably simplify the menu for.
Him offensively so he has a small pack and you
just have to know the entire offense with just a
handful of things that they're gonna ask him to do really.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Really well?

Speaker 1 (01:06:53):
All right got another quarterback and is this his? Real
Name kool aid mckistry For The New. Orleans saints is that?
His Name?

Speaker 3 (01:06:59):
KOOL aid, I mean i've always known him As, Kool
Aid so i'm okay with him Being, called yeah second,
one PICK but i think it's interesting with him being
elevated to the.

Speaker 2 (01:07:12):
Number one there have been other.

Speaker 3 (01:07:13):
Guys that they've tried it out there as the, number
one whether It's A, Lance Taylor. Marshawn lettimore he has
a chance to do this now it's his. Third season
it's Time For. ENDI kamar i will say this like
he's been a. Burn victim there have been a lot
of people that have been able to go at him successfully.
Targeting him high passer rating allowed. Those things but his

(01:07:35):
skill set and his intelligence really works Well For. Brandon
staley it's about him handling the responsibility and how does
he handle the flurry of balls the head in? His
direction meaning can he handle seeing completions in? Those things
because if, he can he has all the skills to
be one of the best that.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
We've Seen, all.

Speaker 1 (01:07:52):
Right one of the most, UNDERRATED positions i believe In
The National. Football league you could tell Me if, I'M
wrong i talking about The Nickelback. Upton stock you say
he's going to have a breakout you with the forty
nine is he's twenty four years. Of age that's a
tough position to.

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Nickel, back yeah it is a, tough position but it's an.
Important position as more teams are going to, eleven personnel,
one back one, tight end three, wide receivers your nickel is.
A starter but more important than people are finding a
lot of success with the nickel as a guy that
can enhance your, pass rush can be affected against, the
run but also being able to shadow those guys in.

(01:08:23):
The SLOT when i look at Upt, and stout he
has been used as a. Pass rusher he does have,
the creativeness the creativity to be able to come off
the edge and do some of. Those Things and i'm
gonna say this in this connection is going To be
it's gonna put a lot, on HIM but i. Mean
It rahie morris was a before he became a defensive
coordinator and the. Head coach he was a defensive back
coach With The Tampa bay buccaneers at a time When

(01:08:45):
the buccaneers Won A. Super bowl the nickel Back there
Hall Of Famer. Ronde barber he got a chance to
watch the nickel have a great impact on the GAME
because I think ronde was one of the first twenty
twenty guys sacks. In interceptions so Look For upton stout
to have plenty of opportunities to rush off, the edge
and he's good enough to make. It happen he is
more of a rusher zone player than a man. The

(01:09:07):
man lock, him, up guy Look For raheem morris to
take advantage of all.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
The, Skills okay i'm going to keep these names and
a little folder and see what happens during. The season
be very interesting. For Me but i'll tell YOU why
i got two. Safeties left one of Them Is Kevin
winston junior For The, tennessee TITANS and i like what
you said. About him he Said that titans have a
new scheme because the safeties are going to play by
the lot of scrimmage to make more plays on. The

(01:09:31):
ball i'm gonna. Watch that what does? That Mean the
savors are going to play. Up close they're not gonna
be laying back on. An island they're playing closer to
the line. Of scrimmage when you.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
Play close to the line Of scrimmers depending on if
they opt to use more of the, quarter, system right
the quarters system will put the safeties probably about eight
to nine yards off the end man of the line,
of scrimmage and they'll read what the number two got
the second, guy does whether it's, a receiver whether it's
tight and if they, block out they gonna feel be
immediately inserted into the run game to make things happen

(01:10:04):
in the, passing game like they're, gonna float they're gonna
rob and jump.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
Underneath stuff if they're more.

Speaker 3 (01:10:09):
Of a three team cover, three team a reeks out
of rotation where one of the safeties drops in the
box not only for, run support but to handle the curl.
Flat area it's gonna. Be important so you can be
down around the line, of scrimmage you can be nosy
and in the. Action more and you got to be
a guy that is tough enough to kind of handle
it and make. Things happen this guy can handle it
and look it should be fun to watch how they,

(01:10:31):
deploy him how they, utilized them because he was highly
regarded coming out, of college but he had an injury
to kind of torpedo This sock natady's back healthy and
looking like the player that many of us saw way
Back At. HAPPY valley i think he has an opportunity to,
make it make, his Mark.

Speaker 1 (01:10:46):
And i'll be Interested watching TENNESSEE on tv this year
to see how many annalysers say to have a, new
SCHEME because I Know bucket brooks has. BEEN there i.
Mentioned it you're the First one i've seen. This from
so we'll see if they take take a page out
Of The bucket brooks BOOK on Nfl. Dot com Last
but not leads to Last Safety craig woodson Of The,
Owelican patriots and you say the stats were not that,

(01:11:07):
eye opening but you do say he's in the, right
place at the right time at.

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
Every, game yeah glue guys. Are underrated AND when i
mean a, glue guy, every team, every unit offense, and
defense has someone that keeps, everybody together whether it's, their
communication their, leadership skills just that it factor where they
make the things, they'll do the things that other people
are unwilling. To do and it doesn't mean, they're stars
but they're just key components to. The mix woodson is

(01:11:34):
that there are a lot of players that played really
well on their defense, last Year but woodson's presence early
kind of solidified everything in the. Back end and even
though They Bring kevin byrtt Over from chicago coming off
a phenomenal year where he had a bunch, of interceptions.

Speaker 2 (01:11:48):
They still need that glue guy to settle.

Speaker 3 (01:11:50):
Everything down his ability to be steady Will Allow kevin
byr to kind of, move around take more chances and do.
Those things one person in the back end has to
be the. Stabilizing FORCE when i Watched, the patriots, to
me he's.

Speaker 2 (01:12:03):
That guy.

Speaker 1 (01:12:04):
That's great you did a. GREAT job i. Love that
and if everybody's INTERESTED at nfl, dot com look AT
the nfl, Writers bucket brooks's demand, now last but, AT
least i said coming into, the segment did you hear
what this? Guy said the Guy, is dabosweeney the coach
of Football. At, clemson okay two national titles to his Name,
At clemson but he came out and said that he
doesn't need another title to. Prove himself, all right maybe,

(01:12:26):
so OKAY but i want, to know if you were A,
player clemson what do you think when you hear something.
LIKE this i think. IT'S foolish i really do? You
know he needs to compete for a title to show
that he still has the passion, to win, You know
AND again i would, Say, THIS dabbo i mean you want?
TWO titles i. Get it what have it done for?
Us lately that's. THE key i think it was a

(01:12:47):
very foolish remark that, HE said i wanted to hear
your response.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
On that give me give me the gist of what did.
He say he said he does have to prove himself
because he's already won. Two, titles Okay, nah see there
are a lot of people that really Come, at dabbo
a lot of people that Don't like dabbo for. Whatever
Reason but i'm gonna say This. About dabo dabo is a.
Made man dabo does have. Multiple titles clemson is still

(01:13:11):
a premier program in, college football even though they had
a minor setback where they didn't play play well. Last year,
but man this dude is legit in terms of what
he's been able to do since he took over. That
PROGRAM and i do believe he doesn't have to prove
anything because when you're a, national champion they got to
call you a national. Champion forever he's already a Certified

(01:13:32):
College football Hall, of famer no matter what, People say
he's going Into College football Hall, Of fame so he
doesn't have to prove anything to. The outside what he
does have, to do it's proved to himself that he
can rebuild, this thing and he has to remain convicted
on the things that he. Believes IN but i, understand
That and i'm, with THAT and i think too many
people kind of want to see. His DEMISE but i

(01:13:52):
don't think this team is going to. Draw back, IN
fact I think i expect him to be much much better.

Speaker 1 (01:13:56):
GOING forward i want to continue that top of the

(01:15:02):

Speaker 1 (01:15:08):
Or nay, All, right julie are, you, ready, yes sir
let me.

Speaker 7 (01:15:13):
DO It pga Tour gave Bryson d chambeau a two
stroke penalty for improving. His backswing multiple golfers have come
out and made comments about.

Speaker 5 (01:15:22):
His actions not, just this it's more. Than that yay,
Or nay.

Speaker 3 (01:15:27):
Bucky, Uh yay, look man he improved. His lot whether
it was intention, or inadvertent is. A penalty and there's
been a lot of whining in the consternation. About this
but if it's, a penalty it needs to be. A
penalty he can go through all these theatrics and, those things.

Speaker 2 (01:15:43):
But everyone knows what.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
It is and golf is one of those sports where
even a casual at home can call in and talk about. Ruse, violations,
look man he has to be able to turn, the
page go on to the. Next thing this happened two,
days ago like he has to. Move forward let's let's
let's get. To it we're now in the final, Round

Speaker 1 (01:16:00):
THIS thing, i, say yay. Stop whining it's. A penalty.
That's it, you know you know you got. A Problem
How president? Trump call he did it For The, world
cup So that trump call, for you it could change,
It right other, than that it's. A penalty ya?

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
All?

Speaker 7 (01:16:17):
Right andy should a coach Take That davos sweeney's words?
To heart you don't need titles to. Prove, oneself yeah,
YOUR name, i.

Speaker 1 (01:16:25):
Say yay coaches should take it. The heart but it's
very difficult to say that in front of the kids
who who look up to you and they're playing, for
you because the kids, can say wait, a minute coach
ain't gonna go in for. A title, i mean kind
of a coach?

Speaker 2 (01:16:37):
Is?

Speaker 1 (01:16:37):
THIS so i think it's got kind of a half ya,
half thing which is a. Bad ANSWER but i think
for a coach. It's ya certainly for, a coach.

Speaker 3 (01:16:45):
It's ya, YOU know i think this is a no.
For me and the REASON why i say it's an
Is Because uh DeVos when he's built his program on
being process oriented and not, results driven where he wants
the guys to, Focus on, hey man what's the next
what's the next challenge that we can take on without
worrying about what's at the pot of gooal at the
end of. The rainbow then he's well within this and

(01:17:07):
say that we're not playing. For titles i'm trying to
build our team and to the best version that this team.
Could be it takes some of the pressure off of.
The team it also puts an emphasis on the day to.
DAY work i think that's what he's trying. To do
focus on what we got to. Do today don't worry
about what's going to happen down. The line if we
take care, of today tomorrow will naturally take care.

Speaker 5 (01:17:26):
Of itself, All, right bucky this one's.

Speaker 7 (01:17:29):
For You an egyptian, basketball player twenty one Year old
ali wassaw him manage the hook shot record with the
distance of eighty two feet and ten inches and a
backward shot from a distance of ninety feet and.

Speaker 5 (01:17:41):
Six, inches yeah. YOUR nay.

Speaker 3 (01:17:45):
I mean you talk about a. RANDOM skill, I mean
I guess i would be yay. ON it i don't
know what he's. Gonna do he's not gonna put these
shots in game, on regulation but it's a nice tool
to have in.

Speaker 2 (01:17:55):
Your toolbox i'll give him, a yet.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
You know not only is it, A ya i certainly
hope he has this on tape because what he should
do take, that tape mail it to the hall and.
Gloat shotters that's what he. SHOULD do i don't Think
The glotch shutters have ever Had an. Egyptian player this
could be a pretty good deal.

Speaker 7 (01:18:10):
For, Them, okay andy this is my. Favorite one this video.
IS Hilarious a houston woman said she has done practicing
pole dancing at home after a mishap led to two apartments.
Being Flooded ashia gilbertsy was filming her pole dancing practice
at her apartment when the pole came loose from the ceiling.

Speaker 5 (01:18:28):
And struck a. Fire sprinkler yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:29):
Your nae first, OF all i want to know how
many times you watch. This video THAT'S what i need,
to know, ALL right, i mean did you? Watch it
doing the pole dancing just for the sake of doing
a story here, with us or you're really engulfed with
this thing and you're entrenched with her. Pole dancing she's
a pretty good. POLE dancer i thought it.

Speaker 5 (01:18:46):
WAS hilarious i sent it to my girlfriend. Right away.
It was it was a really. FUNNY video i.

Speaker 1 (01:18:52):
Think, it's YEAH but i don't understand why a lunatic
would have a poll in your apartment to do. Pole,
dancing really i'd be but it's. A, GAME really i
don't know what what what makes a good? Pole? Dancer
bucket do you know.

Speaker 3 (01:19:05):
One?

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
Than? Another yeah we looked.

Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
DOWN me i think it's a little bit, of, rhythm cadence.
AND seduction i think if you have all three of,
those things then you get.

Speaker 1 (01:19:11):
To go have you ever seen a man? Pole dancer
everything sets? Right, now nope wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (01:19:18):
Want to.

Speaker 1 (01:19:19):
I'm good i'm, just saying can then be? Pole dancers
then pole dancers? OUT there i, Don't know maybe someone
could let.

Speaker 7 (01:19:26):
Us snow, All, Right bucky we're going back to you
with this. Next one permanent daylight? Saving? Time yes or?

Speaker 5 (01:19:34):
Excuse? Me yeah? Your?

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Neck, Uh yeah i'm being honest. With you i'm not
a big fan of daylight saving time going back. AND
forth i kind of like consistency. And routine so if
we could find a happy medium and, just, say hey
this is, the time this way THE time i always going,
to BE then i can plan and plot my, sun
rises my, sun sets all that other stuff and EVERYTHING
that i want to do. In between just makes life a.

Speaker 1 (01:19:55):
LOT easier, i, say yeah tell. YOU why i don't
like when it gets stopped at four o'clock in. The,
afternoon however there is kind of a negative, connotation there
because you can have kids waiting for their school bus,
at seven eight o'clock in the morning and they're still gonna.
BE dark i mean a good light to like nine.
And am but you, KNOW what i don't go to,
school ANYMORE so i. Don't care. HOW'S that, i, say yay,

(01:20:17):
stop it stop, it now, come on, Stop it, julian
anything give us One, more julian, come.

Speaker 7 (01:20:24):
On, ALL right i. Got you i'm very curious about.
This One, BUCKY brandon i you playing football again IN. The,
nfl yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:20:30):
Your name N, he.

Speaker 3 (01:20:32):
Look he is so unstable, right now and he's lashed
out as so. MANY people i think it's gonna, be
very very hard. FOR him i think the people that
were his biggest support is the people that knew him
from their experience with Him In san francisco that have
gone on the. OTHER places i don't know how they
can advocate. For him and because he's Going at shanahan,
and others that tree is big and so there's gonna
be a lot of descendants of that tree and gonna, be, like,

(01:20:53):
yeah no. We're good so he's limited his opportunities. GOING
forward i don't think you ever.

Speaker 1 (01:20:56):
Play again, ALL right i tell you why. He's gone
he's fit PUBBY doing. Tv. Games next, all right, these
men we're hired to prove at the score. A point
that more? Right Here Fox sports, Sunday next stay. With,
us okay they get paid, To score yes. They do

Fox sports Sunday On Fox. Sports Radio He's bucky Brooks And.

(01:21:18):
Andy fermana we're broadcasting live From The Fox sports. Radio

Bucky brooks the excitement OF The Fifa world cup is

platform to catch every. Unforgettable moment fox won brings the
action straight to, your screen so you never miss. A
Goal download fox one and EXPERIENCED The Fifa world cup

(01:21:39):
live and today is a championship game three o'clock Easton.
On fox there, you go and right now we're introducing
you miss. The football, my friend, My Partner. Bucket, Brooks,
hello buck how? Are you?

Speaker 3 (01:21:50):
I'm good, I'm good I'm, good man. You're Right World
cup final, day today high noon On the, west coast
three o'clock on the. East go should be a lot
of Fun watching Spain and arts to battle.

Speaker 1 (01:21:59):
It out are you surprised what? THE crowd? I mean
i turned that game on yesterday Was. In miami it
was like. Threatening rain how to be humid as it all?
Get out eighty eight to ninety degrees there and the
place sixty five. Thousand strong it. Was packed, I'M saying
usa is not. EVEN playing i get it's a melting
pot of various, you know people from, other countries but

(01:22:20):
still AT all i didn't think there was not. MUCH
interest i.

Speaker 3 (01:22:24):
Really didn't it's the world's game and what we've seen
What The world cup, has shown particularly since it's been,
on us so so many people are woven into the
fabric of this country and then being able to kind
of go back and lean on, their heritage their lineage in.
Those things it's been great. To watch it's been a.

(01:22:46):
FANTASTIC tournament i think the interest in soccer has never.
Been greater the way these games have, played out. The
presentation fox has done a great job with, the presentation
but also the analysts that, they've had they've really taught,
the game explained, the game broken down the, game well
and in action in. The, stadiums man it. Is bananas
you can feel. The energy, in fact they talk about

(01:23:08):
it was so rackets and Crazy in atlanta that they
want to create a bigger RELATIONSHIP between Fifa and atlanta
because the crowd was so responsive to what. TOOK place,
i mean this is exactly what you want to see
IF your Fifa The. World cup also this country trying
to grow. The sport it's.

Speaker 1 (01:23:24):
Been, FANTASTIC well i mean they ran a Beer in
BOSTON when i think When the scots Came to boston, was,
unbelievable right it. Was Great and norway with the, rowing
situation it, was funny it. Was great these people just
had a great time coming to. Our country hopefully it
could create, great relations, you know in other aspects rather than.
Just sports but my question here is will this translates

(01:23:46):
to success IN. THE mls.

Speaker 2 (01:23:49):
I don't. Think so i'm, Not hopeful i'm.

Speaker 3 (01:23:51):
Not optimistic it's not viewed as one of the premier
leagues in the world, in soccer and because, of that
you don't get the. Best talent the best talent will always.
Stay overseas there Is The, Premier League, english League Like,
champions league whatever those, Leagues are they're going to stay
over there because that's where the best and. Brightest play
we will get stars on the backside of. Their careers

(01:24:12):
now it doesn't mean that their popularity can't grow, the
game but in terms of fielding a pro sports league
that is like the top of, the top loaded with
players from top, TO bottom i just can't envision THAT
because i can't see where they would overtake the popularity
Of A man You Arsenal, man city some of the

(01:24:33):
other teams. THAT exist i just can't see.

Speaker 2 (01:24:36):
That happening i'm.

Speaker 1 (01:24:37):
With you and back in the day when they Had
The North American, soccer league who was the. Same situation
they had guys who are named players in the premier
leagues in the tail end of, their career in the
twilight of, their career and they came To The North
American soccer league, to sell Like the peleys came And
The george, Best Came, gordon banks whatever may be to, your,
field cabeis these, guys came but their basic careers were

(01:24:59):
made on. Other soil that's what the. Problem was but,
you know the name sold and they drew big crowds
of the meadowlands For The New. York cosmos but it's
just never. Caught on That because i'm saying soccer's gonna
catch on in, Ten years well it took about thirty
years and it has, caught on but not to the extent.
Of that you mentioned the premier Leagues, in EUROPE and i,
think maybe, of course those guys get paid. So MUCH

(01:25:21):
now messi may eventually come TO the mls when he's
got like a little guess left in.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
HIS tank, i mean he plays Down in miami and,
those things and they've been able to get a little boost.

Speaker 2 (01:25:31):
In terms of watching him and doing.

Speaker 3 (01:25:33):
Those things no different Than When david beckham came OVER
To la but in terms of like A jew bellingham
coming over, Early early holland coming. Over early that that's
not going to happen because they make so much. Money
overseas there's such a big, brand overseas it's hard to
convince those guys to come stateside, and say, hey man
this is a better opportunity for. You win the competition

(01:25:55):
isn't as good as the. Other, competition yeah that's why
it's like a twilight deal for. Those guys because it's nearing.
The end they're more ready to cash out than trying
to build their own brand and establish themselves and their greatness.

Speaker 1 (01:26:09):
As players, no doubt but, that HEY that i mention
we're broadcasting life From The Fox west. Radio studios if
not what we, ARE now i want to talk about
another kind, Of football american football. Right now we touched
on this a little Bit, at dabosweeney the Coach. Of
clemson just as a fact, over Here dabos sweeney is
one hundred eighty seven and fifty three is a Coach.
Of clemson, Pretty, good okay, last year pretty big disappointment

(01:26:30):
because came off a playoff year the. Year before they
finished tied for seventh IN the acc four and, four
record they won, seven games but they lost games at
Home To syracuse DUKE. And smu.

Speaker 5 (01:26:42):
Not good.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
Not, Good okay i'm looking. Over here stats as Far
As dablos, sweeney's concern from twenty fifteen to, twenty Nineteen
the Tigers of clemson was sixty nine, and five sixty nine.
And five, since then they're fifty seven and. Twenty, two,
okay hey look. THAT happens i. Get it you go up.
AND down i just have one Question, about davosweeney and

(01:27:03):
you probably have. THE answer i read a story about
him several years Ago When, sports illustrated, AND look i
understand he's not really adapted to the nil. That much
he's going to high. School, recruits still he's kind of
changing a little bit of. His ways you got to
you got. To adapt BUT what i Did Reading sports
illustrated is the fact that one of the things he
does is kind of makes a requests. OR asks i

(01:27:27):
think it's kind of a demand of his that he
takes these kids on a bus to Church. EVERY sunday
i gotta believe there are some kids that are adamant
that they don't want to go. TO church, i just,
you know especially if you're partying heavy On a. Saturday
night you don't want to get Up early sunday morning
and go. To CHURCH and i don't think a coach
or anybody else should make you go. To church have you?

Speaker 3 (01:27:48):
HEARD that i have, heard IT and i will say
this having grown up In, the south that region is
Called the. Bible built religion. Is everything it's a big
part of the fabric of the, daily existence the, daily
life and also football it's mixed into it like.

Speaker 2 (01:28:04):
Out there I'm in, california now But In.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
North carolina like in, certain places like they they'll do
prayers before. THE game i THINK when i was With,
the panthers they, did benediction so before the, game started before,
a pregame some would come OVER the pa system and
they would say. A prayer so you have to understand,
the mindset the mentality of. That, region secondly there are
people that Are finding dabbo appealing because they have lived

(01:28:30):
in the high school recruiting world and their relationships. Are
everything and a big part of that is families And
trusting dabbo and his staff to help his players become.
Better men if you Look, at clempson they're graduating their
players at like a ninety ninety six. Percent clip he
aspires to have them be more than just an athlete.

(01:28:50):
For them he also has goals for them to everyone
that comes in should leave with at least one, championship
bring meaning that in that four to five, year run
you goin a championship. And something they talk about, national
titles whether IT'S a sec titles, or whatever but you're
supposed to compete for a title while. Also graduating this
is a part of him trying to expose the players

(01:29:12):
to things that.

Speaker 2 (01:29:12):
Are going to help them.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
In, life now he doesn't impose it upon them.

Speaker 2 (01:29:16):
Where they have.

Speaker 3 (01:29:17):
To go they have to continue, to go they have
to take the messages in. Those things but it's exposure
no different than At the University Of. Notre dame every
player Goes to Mass. On, fridays now Whether you're catholic,
or not they Go, into mass they sit in, the
ceremony they, understand it and they can build whatever relationship
they want to build With, their god they can build

(01:29:38):
it within.

Speaker 2 (01:29:39):
Those confints so it's.

Speaker 3 (01:29:41):
No different he is trying to build the, entire person
and some of that is trying to expose them to
religions of.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
All shorts you know EVERY time i took, to you
the light goes off and you're. So right LOOK when
i read That In, sports illustrated this has to be
three four, years AGO and i do, remember IT and, i,
SAID wow, i mean what if the kid doesn't want.
TO go i WORKED. At Orl. Roberts university, all right
that school closed down from eleven to Twelve every Wednesday

(01:30:09):
and friday for. Chapel services you had. TO go. I went. All,
right Now obviously I'm not Baptist and I'm, not METHODIST
but i. Did Go, i'm Jewish and President or Roberts
mayhe rest in peace called me in his office, and said,
to me if you're not comfortable going to, CHAPEL services.
I understand i went because it. Was interesting it was.
SOMETHING different i learned SOMETHING so i could See the.

(01:30:32):
Dabbosweeney thing now all of, a SUDDEN now i see a.
CLEARER picture, i, do OKAY and i went to. CHAPEL
services i had no idea what it was to see people,
speaking TONGUES and. I LEARNED and i think it's important
to see what other people do and what they. BELIEVE
in i had no problem going to. Chapel service by,
THE way i couldn't do anything else because the schools.
Shut down they turned the, power off. You, know so

(01:30:54):
but that. Was great but they had great speakers THERE
and i just really, enjoyed IT and i had two
great years At All. Roberts.

Speaker 3 (01:31:01):
University, Yeah, NO look i think there are more things
that people TALK. About byu Everyone on BYU's team IS
not i Remember The Letter, day saints but there's some
exposure to those things that can help them become better
young people if they heed, those messages whether they eventually

(01:31:21):
subscribe to the doctrine. OR not i think COACHES and
i think this has been lost as the game has
gone from transformational coaching to. Transactional coaching where before guys
were trying to transform the lives of the kids that,
They impacted now. It's transactional how much MONEY do i
need to pay you for you to come beyond my
team and help? Me win, that's fine and a lot

(01:31:44):
of people are advocating for, that model and that's how
you need to build. Your team dabbles from the. Old
school he's. More transformational he's about building relationships and trying
to cultivate those relationships where it eventually leads to a
chemistry and a connection.

Speaker 2 (01:31:57):
That allows the team to.

Speaker 3 (01:31:58):
Play better to do in this landscape harder to do
with the lack of patients from, The fans but it's
the most sustainable model that you can create when you build,
your organization your team off of relationships and being better in,
the end on and off the field than, Just hey
i'm gonna pay. You this you do that like that is.

(01:32:20):
Not sustainable that's not long. Term success you can't do
that over the long term and continue to.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
Be consistent you, Know, What now I'm a. DABOSWEETEY fan
i wanted to win every game except when He Plays
north Carolina because I'm A bill. BELICHICK fan I like. Bill,
better Okay and i'm going to do this with. Your
permission i'm going to get in Touch with bill this
week and see if he wants to come on, with
us because he did say it's going to be a
completely revamped team this Year At. North CAROLINA and i
know he would not come on On a sunday after

(01:32:47):
a game On. A saturday so right now we've got some.
Free time maybe he'll chat with us On a, sunday
morning So and i'll mention that you Played At. North
carolina so that could be. A hook so what do.

Speaker 2 (01:32:56):
YOU think, i mean you.

Speaker 3 (01:32:57):
CAN mention i don't know how, much influence and THAT'S why,
i have but sure throw my name.

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
Out there we'll see what it.

Speaker 1 (01:33:02):
Looks like we'll see what it. Looks, like okay now
let's talk about the pro game because we talk about
points because everybody. Loves scoring that's basically what it's. All
about THAT'S why i loved the. Game yesterday THAT'S why
i Loved That england france game In The. World cups
that ten goals that's unheard of, in soccer really is
six to four if they're a four to nothing leader
at Halftime. By, england okay so we talk ABOUT, the

(01:33:23):
nfl and everybody. Loves points that's what. They do they've
got twenty one teams have changed. Offensive, COORDINATORS really, i
mean that's an. Amazing number have you ever seen that
many offensive coordinators change in one season IN? The, NFL.

Speaker 2 (01:33:38):
No, I haven't and that's.

Speaker 3 (01:33:40):
Unprecedented turnover and that's going to lead to some inconsistent
performances and some slow starts for some of these teams
that are adapting to a, new offense, new scheme new.
Play caller the one thing that we know with the
way that the preseason has kind, of, changed right more
people are holding their guys out from. Preseason games only

(01:34:00):
three games as opposed, to four not as much time
to develop the chemistry and the rhythm that you must
have to be a fast.

Speaker 2 (01:34:08):
Starting offense that's going to.

Speaker 3 (01:34:10):
Impact it that's a major issue and that's something that
we have to keep an. Eye On but man ten
new coordinators look for the defense to be ahead of
the offense early and we'll see if some of these
new play callers new coordinators can.

Speaker 1 (01:34:22):
Catch, up yeah we talk about, changing systems and it's
so hard for a quarterback on the offensive unit to
change SYSTEMS that i learned with one coach and come to.
Another ONE and i think there's a major Problem. Here
arizona we Talked about arizona maybe being one of the
worst teams IN. The nfl You Got mike lafleur coming. In,
there okay he's a first, year coach first time, head
coach and he's also going to be the. Play caller

(01:34:44):
how difficult? Is that why would a guy want to
put that on his shoulders. DOING both i don't get.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
That control you.

Speaker 3 (01:34:52):
Can control the action is fun if you are a
guy that enjoys the chess match of being a play
call versus the.

Speaker 2 (01:35:00):
Defensive guy and.

Speaker 3 (01:35:03):
Depending on your level of, you know like how good
you are as a, play caller why would you take
away one of your own superpowers to be a, lesser
person a lesser leader with. Your team so you have
to examine all those teams when you make, those decisions
and then give your team the best opportunity to win
based on what you. Do, well yeah so it's not

(01:35:23):
one size, fits all but there's a very nuanced conversation
that you must have if you want to be able
to do some of.

Speaker 1 (01:35:30):
These, things yeah here was a play caller With. The
jets didn't go too Well In new york With the
JETS that, i KNOW so i don't think is going
to go much better Now. In arizona we'll see what.
Happens there but here's ANOTHER question. I have i've always
Questioned Why, zach taylor who calls the players and is
the head coach Of The, cincinnati bengals does it from.
The field most of the coordinators are doing it from the,

(01:35:50):
press box? Aren't they is it? Much better they get
advantage view from upstairs rather than from.

Speaker 3 (01:35:55):
The field, IT depends i go back. And forth some
people like the energy being on, the sideline being able
to have direct conversation with, THE kids, i mean with
the players immediately when they come off. The field direct
feedback gives your chance to kind of spend more time figuring,
it out but you do have to interact and engage with.

Speaker 2 (01:36:13):
More people in the.

Speaker 3 (01:36:14):
Press box you can lock in and focus on the x's, and,
o's right because you're looking at the field as, a
chessboard and because you're, up high you may have a
better vantage point to understand works with what works here
compared to. Other, PLACES look i. DON'T know i think
a lot of it is the comfort level that you
have with. Your team if you're, up top you've got

(01:36:35):
to be able to trust others can't convey your messages
with the same kind of conviction that you.

Speaker 2 (01:36:41):
Would conveit.

Speaker 1 (01:36:43):
That's tricky sure is have you seen anybody who as
a coach and was a coordinator has started maybe on
the field and during the season. Moved upstairs they switched during.

Speaker 3 (01:36:53):
The season, Uh, Yeah, LIKE look i think this is
one that is always like kind of going back and
forth because you're trying to figure out what.

Speaker 2 (01:37:04):
Works.

Speaker 3 (01:37:04):
Best view there have been numerous cases and incidents where
guys have started, up top, come down, started down going
up too many, Your name, but yeah it is a
big part of it because it's tough trying to figure
out what. Is best HOW can i serve the team
best by being right there in the foxhole. WITH them
i can't see, as Well but i'm down there with

(01:37:25):
THEM so i can fill off the energy or being
up top and really making it more of a tactical
analysis each and.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Every time there.

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
YOU go i got a former note today quarterback who's
now an Offensive coordinated we're Talking About tommy reese With The.
ATLANTA falcons i think the problem he has is that who's?

Speaker 3 (01:37:40):
His?

Speaker 1 (01:37:41):
Quarterback right probably Gonna BE Michael, pennockx junior don't? You,
think well? MAYBE two i.

Speaker 3 (01:37:45):
Don't, KNOW look i think they have a real. Open competition,
TO me i think this is a tour Tongue about
lowa job.

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
To WIN when i look, AT you i look at.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
His game, to me it really matches up With What
kevin stefanski wants. To do the interesting THING about qb
ONE and qb two whoever it turns out to be
in those. Respective slots tag of a Lower and pinis
are both, Left handed so for the first time in a,
long time you won't see a radical overhaul. Of offense
is one of those guys has to go to the
sideline because they're both. The lefties the other part is

(01:38:16):
when to a tongue of. A lower, i, mean look
going back to twenty, twenty three he led the league
in passing yards in. Those seats when, he's protected he
can deal. Like anybody, you know he can get the
ball out of the hands and make. Things happens the
issues that they typically have in the line of scrimmage
that leads to. His inconsistency if they can, protect them he's.
Gonna flourish And With, michael pennix you have the injury
history and you just don't have enough in the sample size, to,

(01:38:39):
say hey, without question he's a.

Speaker 1 (01:38:41):
Franchise quarterback, you know it amazes me because every offensive
coordinator that we've mentioned thus far has a. QUARTERBACK problem,
i mean they're not set in stone with. That quarterback
so they bringing a new. OFFENSIVE coordinator I guess i'm talking.
About Now A Cleveland Browns. TODD maunkin i mean he's
got to go Away With dylan gabriel should do or.
Say This, DESHAUN watson i don't. GET it i would

(01:39:03):
Think That deshaun watson maybe the heads on favorite because
of the money that. He's making don't.

Speaker 3 (01:39:08):
YOU think i don't think money doesn't. DO anything i
think it really comes down to who, plays better who
can operate this. Offense Better todd munkin Remembers When deshaun
watson was playing at a. High level now that's been
a long time since he's been at that level twenty twenty.
Twenty one but if it's, in you it's, in You
And todd munkin is gonna try and squeeze some of
that out. Of Him deshaun watson appears to be in

(01:39:30):
a much better place on and off, the field seems
to be a little. More focused the maturity is certainly
there when it comes to his, leadership skills so h
that part. Is, there physically can he get it up?

Speaker 2 (01:39:41):
To snuff?

Speaker 3 (01:39:42):
Should do has come a long way in terms of.
The development when you talk to people around, that organization
they talk about how he's gotten better and better each and.
Every Day todd munkin raves. ABOUT him i think this
is a. True competition we'll get a chance to see
these guys conpee. For it but if you had to,
PRESS me I Think deshaun watson at least starts to
season as the starter and maybe eventually gives it away

(01:40:02):
to the.

Speaker 2 (01:40:03):
Young guy here.

Speaker 1 (01:40:04):
We go, all right we're gonna continue with some of
these and so. Much more we've Got At bucket BROOKS

To twelve it, for now but right now it's time
for The Ti iraq play of. The days he's.

Speaker 6 (01:41:05):
Gonna score, To score he's go, great plays scored the
most goals in the history Of The.

Speaker 1 (01:41:11):
World cup he's gone Best layer lessing's The.

Speaker 5 (01:41:14):
Right parkning what a Match in.

Speaker 1 (01:41:17):
Pope goal, goal goal all time leading goal Scorer In world.
Cup history that's A Ti iraq player of. The game
for over, Forty years tyraq has been helping customers find
the right tires, for, how what where and why, they
drive shift fast and free back by free roadhouser protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire Installation Ti Raq
dot condway tire buying Should be now that was the

(01:41:39):
tire rack play of. The day, all right let's get
back to some of these offensive coordinated the challenges. They
have by the challenges they have, RIGHT now i think
it's pretty. Decent Though in baltimore They've Got. Declan doyle
he's got the offense pretty well Set With, lamar jackson
but the problem over there they got a new head
coach and that may change. The system how much impact

(01:42:01):
does the head coach have ON? The oc does he
tell him what kind of offense he wants to run
or is it all.

Speaker 3 (01:42:06):
OC's deal, oh no the head coach is in charge.
Of everything because the head coach pays the vision for
what he wants his team to, be like and then
it's the job of the coordinators to make their offense
and defensive schemes match. That vision dethandor has a lot
of leadway when it comes to putting together.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
The schemes and.

Speaker 3 (01:42:24):
Those things But jesse ment is going to, Tell, them,
HEY man I Want lamar jackson to be able to
play at, His best so whatever that, looks like let's
make sure. He's comfortable let's make sure that we have
a TWO time mvp playing at a level that allows
us to win a lot. Of games so whatever, that
is you're going to have this vision for how you
want this offense. To look but keep in mind is players.

(01:42:45):
Over plays do what's best for the players as opposed
to those plays that you have in, your playbook and
more times, than not the players will allow the offense,
to explode not just those schemes that are. On paper,
all right.

Speaker 1 (01:42:58):
This may be the biggest question And The National football league.
Right now and here's. What Happened When ben johnson Left
The detroit lions to become the head coach Of The.
Chicago Bears The detroit lions offense went down.

Speaker 5 (01:43:09):
The toilet it.

Speaker 1 (01:43:10):
Really did. Last year the head coach Of, The Lions,
dan Campbell Fired john morton just after. One season Always
Got drew petzing.

Speaker 5 (01:43:16):
In There It's.

Speaker 1 (01:43:18):
Ben johnson was he that good of an? OFFENSIVE coordinator,
i mean we see What the bears, have done no.
Doubt there but if the talent has, gone down what
Happened in detroit And can drew bring?

Speaker 2 (01:43:28):
It back we'll see if you can bring.

Speaker 3 (01:43:30):
It. Back yeah like philosophically they were Just Different john
morton And What ben johnson. Had done he was CREATIVE
and i always talked About Like bean johnson was able
to utilize the mix of physicality, and pezzazz the physicality
of the, run game How the lions attacked you between,
the tackles how they ran the football Effectively With jamiir

(01:43:52):
Gibbs And. Dave montgomery but then they had a lot
of pizzazz in the passing Game with Jered golf Thorn
To Amara saint Brown And jamison williams. And others it's
hard to step into that because it, was fun it was,
free flowing it had all, the tricks the bills. And
whistles that's a hard act. To follow pessing has to
find his own way of doing it while still tapping

(01:44:15):
into some of the creative Things That ben johnson did
when he was. The coordinator because they run the, ball
effectively they found a way to get. Big plays they
consistently put the ball in the hands Of amar I
S saint Brown And. Jameson williams they both went over a.
Thousand yards but how do you continue to build on.
Those things that's why it's a tough Job for drew.
Coming over, but, look man it's better stepping into a

(01:44:37):
role where you have talent at your disposal as opposed
to that and you're having to try and figure out
ways to trick people each and every week to get
first downs and touchdowns as, opposed, to hey my guys
are better than. YOUR guys i just need to create
these one on one situations so their talent can.

Speaker 1 (01:44:52):
Shine through You Got jamar gibbs, Coming Back jared guy's.
COMING back i think one of the keys on the
offense has to be the return Of sham laporta to
the way. HE was, I mean i don't know if
he can the tight end position. Right There sam laporta's
got to come back and give you something.

Speaker 3 (01:45:09):
He does and he does because what he does is
that's the. Natural outlet when teams are playing two deep
safeties right they're playing cover, Two action they're rolling on
the perimeter guys trying to make Sure That Amaa saint
brown can't beat them over, the top trying to make
Sure That jamison williams is. Limited neutralized he's not the big.
Play threat so that creates a void down. The middle

(01:45:29):
and if you Can Find sam laporta down the middle
over and over and, over again well.

Speaker 2 (01:45:33):
Then you got to switch your tactics.

Speaker 3 (01:45:35):
On defense and then that gets us back to the
running game and the big plays in the. Passing game
so to have this chess match that you want to
have If, you detroit you got to make sure that
you have the personnel right to be able to.

Speaker 2 (01:45:47):
Do it AND when i look, on paper the personnel.

Speaker 3 (01:45:49):
Is right the quarterback is right because he's underrated but
still one of the top eight or nine quarterbacks in.

Speaker 5 (01:45:56):
The.

Speaker 3 (01:45:56):
League yet jared goff in control of this offense and make,
it go but he's gonna have to work hand in
hand with the offensive coordinator to make sure that they
are on the.

Speaker 2 (01:46:04):
Same page there's.

Speaker 1 (01:46:06):
No doubt this is a pressure. Cooker job there's no doubt.
About that but there's something to be said about when
you have a team like This The, detroit Lions When
drew petsy comes, in there he's taking a team that was,
really good, really good and they went from good. To
bed but then you look at the other side of
the coin And The Las vegas Raiders With, clint kubiak,
you know the team that was bad and they don't

(01:46:26):
really expect that much. This quickly and what he's got
to do is, LIKE mold I Guess fernando mendoza on
the offensive side of the. Balls quarterback so the pressure,
is there but it's a different kind. Of pressure detroit
wants to taste what they had. Once Before las vegas
hasn't tasted it in, a While but clint's got to
be the guy that could try to let them get

(01:46:48):
a nibble of. That, taste yeah he can.

Speaker 3 (01:46:51):
Try and get him from get a little taste of
what it is and.

Speaker 2 (01:46:57):
Those things, but man it.

Speaker 3 (01:47:01):
Looks personnel, You know personnel. Is everything and so you
talked About like detroit wanted to get back to what they.
Had Been but i'm, be honest this is one of
the reasons why you tell teams and young players when you, get,
here man don't take it. For Granted The detroit lions
were DOMINATING The nfc championship game Against the niners a few,
years ago and they made some errors where they went,

(01:47:23):
FOR it i, would say some unwise choices when it
came to going forward on fourth down and they. Lost
it and from that moment it has been hard for
this team to even get back to. That spot and
it's tough because everyone talks about like next year's. Our,
year man you got to start all the way over
and build it all the. Way back and so that's
the challenge and the challenge of new coordinators and all

(01:47:44):
these other things is trying to take what you have
personnel wise and match it with the plays that you
have in your playbook and the things that you believe in,
easier said harder. To do and there are a lot
of these play callers and head coaches that are going
to figure that out in the middle of.

Speaker 1 (01:47:57):
The season how much do players look at, a coach
no matter if the position coach a, head coach and
look at the rep of? That coach, for example You
know clint koopiaks now With, the raiders He Helps sam
donald And the seahawks Do A super. Bowl title, all,
RIGHT now i look At The los. Angeles charges mike
McDaniel did not have a lot of success With The.

(01:48:17):
Miami dolphins do, players say why do we have? Him
here is there rumblings like that in the? LOCKER room
i mean there's.

Speaker 3 (01:48:25):
Always rumblings, but look every player wants to play for
a coach that can help, them individually and they want
them to help them not only skill wise where they
can maximize their value and, their talent but they also
want to be able. To win so you do, have, this, hey,
man like what do you think about? This coach where
you call guys around the league who played and worked under,

(01:48:47):
Certain coaches you're trying to get a feel for who
they are before they come, into building and then you're
trying to see if their words match up with. Their
actions that is why those first couple, Of, years man
you want to get out to, fast stars one naturally begins, to, Believe,
like okay what coach says does, work out because.

Speaker 2 (01:49:03):
When WE, DO x Y, and z we do.

Speaker 3 (01:49:05):
Win games but if it is a, situation, like man WE,
DID x Y and z and we got, blown out
how is? That possible then you begin to have doubt and.

Speaker 2 (01:49:14):
Criticisms within the team block and.

Speaker 3 (01:49:16):
Those things so it's a delicate balance that you have
to kind, of navigate but it's one that look is
essential because that's the only way to be able to get.
It done it's a, relationship business so you have to
be able to communicate effectively while also showing people that
you have what it takes tactically to get.

Speaker 1 (01:49:33):
It done, YOU know i got the. QUESTION here i
made a question of. The Day The New york Giants
Hired matt naggy as the, offensive coordinator, all right and
everybody In The new york area And The New york
press is saying he has To Mold jackson dart into a.
TALENTED quarterback i. DON'T know i don't know if an
offensive coordinat if anybody could. DO that i think what
you need to do is an offensive coordinator is to

(01:49:55):
make the offense run with the skill set that. That
quarterback you can't make him any better than. He is
you're going to mold him into the. Talented, quarterback no
he's not gonna Be a Hall of. Fame quarterback but
if you have some good players on the offensive side of,
the ball and you know what he could, do best
and he could run, the football there's no doubt, about
that then nigg you can have. Some success you're gonna

(01:50:16):
mold him into a better quarterback because he only can
go so far with the skills that he has.

Speaker 3 (01:50:23):
A, little bit but you can't make the game easier. For,
Them right so when you Look At sam Donald And,
clint kubierk what What Did clint kubiak do to help him?
Get better, He's, like okay this Is What sam donald
does really. Really well based on our, tape analysis based
on Conversation with sam in terms of what, he likes
and based on, the film these are.

Speaker 2 (01:50:42):
The things that he.

Speaker 3 (01:50:43):
Does well my job as the coordinator is to take
and we've, said this the league is a league full.
Of specialists everyone has one superpower that they can lean
into to help them play their best in. The, league
well my job as the coordinator is to take all
those players and put him in a position where they're
playing to their superpower so that we collectively can be at.

(01:51:07):
Our best So For, clint kubiek he found a way to. Do,
that obviously he looked at what Happened in Minnesota under.
Kevin O'Connell he took the good parts from that experience
and added that to his playbook and then found other
ways to expand. Upon it, but yeah a great coach
can certainly make a quarterback, play better and he can
benefit from what we call being in a system that

(01:51:28):
highlight highlights what.

Speaker 2 (01:51:30):
He does, really WELL when.

Speaker 1 (01:51:31):
I see some of these assistant coaches or the, offensive
coordinators some of them really and truly are going to,
go there get their feet into, the ground, buried there
and get to. Work quickly some of these guys have
no chance, at all and some, of them, to me
just did it because they needed. A job and one
of them needed a Job With. Frank, reich okay he
goes To, the jets he has no chance Whatsoever With.
Gino smith he'd be Lucky If gino smith is not.

(01:51:54):
In jail how do you? Like that what's happening right
now off Season Where gino smith Is crazy allegedly he's
got a domestic violence charge against him and. A guy
i mean, to me you got no chance in hell
to do any success With the Jets With. Gino Smith,
SO frank i wish, you WELL but i think you
just needed. A job.

Speaker 2 (01:52:14):
I won't go so far to.

Speaker 3 (01:52:15):
Say that i'll say This about frank having Played, with
frank having been around, the one he's the.

Speaker 2 (01:52:20):
Sort of the.

Speaker 3 (01:52:20):
Earth too frank has made a lot, of money so
he didn't necessarily need to come back and do this
like this is kind of his ministry in terms of
being able to touch and connect. With, People Secondly gino
smith had the charges dropped and dismissed into, domestic case
and we'll see what looks like the other case that
he may. Have pending this could Work Because geno smith's
game Fits What frank wright likes to. Do OFFENSIVELY and

(01:52:44):
i am not saying That the jets are on the
verge of being, world beaters BUT when i say this stat.

Speaker 2 (01:52:49):
It kind of blows.

Speaker 3 (01:52:50):
My Mind geno smith has more four thousand year seasons
than The Entire New york. Jets Franchise geno smith is
thrown for four thousand plus yards twice in His did
jesse have only had a quarterback do at once and
That Was joe namath back in.

Speaker 2 (01:53:04):
Sixty seven so think.

Speaker 3 (01:53:05):
About that they already have an upgraded quarterback over what
they current what they had in. Previous years if he
just plays at a, decent level they're gonna be able
to win, more Games Provided aaron glenn is able to
get this.

Speaker 2 (01:53:17):
Defense right so, TO me.

Speaker 3 (01:53:19):
I am on the, Fact, that okay they're gonna be
much better. This year doesn't mean that they're reflecting their record,
per se but they're gonna be much better and that's
gonna give them a chance to.

Speaker 1 (01:53:30):
Be, effective okay you, Know what i'm not so Certain
That tampa Bay With zach robinson as offensive codinet could be.
Really effective let me tell You Why baker mayfield's had a.
Rebirth there there's no doubt in my. Mind There But
mike evans is Now A san francisco forty nine er
who's going to throw the ball to, you know he
has to be a mastermind working on this offensive side of.

(01:53:50):
The football they don't have a number one. Wide receiver they. Really,
don't however, You know i'm looking at some of the
free agents. Right Now stefan diggs, Is Available tyree. Hills
available do you go for these guys right now that Are?
A Deebo samuel he's out. There Too Does tampa baco
after these guys for a number one position as a? Wide, RECEIVER.

Speaker 2 (01:54:11):
No i don't Think. THE buccaneers i think the buccanyers
a good.

Speaker 3 (01:54:13):
Wide receiver and the reason why is last year they
Took and mickebuka as their first round pick and they
took him in a way To Replace mike Evans When
mike evans walked out. The door if YOU'RE rid nfl,
dot com last week we talked about breakout players and
players that could pop on offense and Make a booker
was one of the GUYS that i. Cited it and
the reason why is because he had nearly a thousand

(01:54:35):
yards last year as. A rookie now he gets full
autonomy to own that role as. The ze he'll be
AT The Z chris godman will be in the slot baking.
Things happen they have a young guy that could PLAY.
At x maybe it's the third Round Pick. Ted Hurst
baker mayfield two seasons to go through for forty. One
touchdowns not saying that he's going to jump, into That
But zach Robinson knows baker from their time together With.

(01:54:57):
The rams he can tap into the experiences that He Had.
Liam cohn this offense is gonna. Be fine and because
they can move the pieces around the chest board to
create opportunities for their. Best, PLAYMAKERS yeah i think they're
fine at. Wide receiver they don't need to kind of
shop in the bargain bend to. Get it then there's
some other teams that need to contact those aforementioned Wide
Receiver stefan Diggs And. Deebo samuel but normally you won't

(01:55:20):
see that happen until about the second or third week of.
Training camp the, coaches scouts they want to see what
the young guys look like on their. Respective team are they.

Speaker 1 (01:55:29):
Dy somebody, get hurt someone, Goes, down.

For kathy engelbert to. Commission her she's got one foot out,
the door so it's. Her fault it's got to clean
up that league because some, great players but no one
talks about, the game about everything but. The game, Whoa.

Speaker 3 (01:57:27):
Look i'd say that people on the Outside Hijack caitlin
clark in the conversation for their own. POLITICAL game i
don't think there's anything THAT the wnba could do to
stop that part. Of it they could just work on,
their responses, but no everyone. Is benefiting everyone is using
her to benefit and kind of promote their. OWN agenda
i can't say this is the. WNBA's fault they got

(01:57:49):
to deal with their.

Speaker 7 (01:57:50):
Reaction, Though, okay bucky let's start with you on. THIS
one fifa is talking about Expanding The world cup from
forty eight to sixty.

Speaker 5 (01:57:59):
Four teams who do?

Speaker 3 (01:58:00):
You?

Speaker 5 (01:58:00):
Blame uh this?

Speaker 3 (01:58:02):
Is GREAT like i don't. Like that like they just
expanded it to. Thirty two and people will tell you
that there's more to down some of the product in
terms of what. It means, like before if you got to,
the quarterfinals that. Meant everything that's that's where it. Really starts.
To quarterfinals now you got round, the sixteen round of,
thirty two all that. Other stuff don't expand it because it.
WATERS out i know it gives more. Teams opportunities unlikely

(01:58:25):
those teams that are added in will advance through. The
Tournament so i'm not.

Speaker 1 (01:58:29):
A fan i blame the green cabbage. Gelt money it's
all about money when we, See, it, yes yes if
we see it IN the nt douablea, march manness they're
expanding that he might. Spend it there's more. Money involved
if there's, more money they want to get. It done you,
Know what sometimes less. Is more you know you're gonna break.
The bubble we're seeing it IN. The nfl they got.

(01:58:50):
Seventeen games now they're gonna go to eighteen. For sure
maybe maybe that they are the twenty. ONE day i.
Don't know. Stop it less, IS more i promise you
that's the way. It is it's all about. The money
there were money and. The greed.

Speaker 7 (01:59:03):
Everyone in the basketball world and every conversation around basketball
is Focused On, Lebron, James andy why and who do?

Speaker 1 (01:59:13):
You blame, of course people. Are lazy people. Are lazy
they don't want to talk about anything Else Except. Lebron,
james sure he's a, prominent figure he's a, great player
he's a First ballot Hall, of famer he's got records.
Out there wazu who played twenty four seasons IN the nba,
right now and. He's wonderful but the point, is this
there are other stories, out there and you're too lazy
to figure out what those. Stories are no one really

(01:59:36):
Cares Except adam silver what team he, goes to but maybe.
His family other, than that but, you know do, your homework,
follow up follow, the league if you really want to follow.
The league it's not All.

Speaker 3 (01:59:45):
ABOUT lebron, i, mean look he's the biggest story just
because he's.

Speaker 2 (01:59:53):
He's been look the best player for a.

Speaker 3 (01:59:54):
Long time he's no longer the quote unquote, best player
but he certainly is the most, recognizable player and there's.
An interest he, draws clicks he gets a lot of
busting seats and people to WATCH. The TV so i
kind of blame just the fandom of the league and
them trying to. Cash in but It's not, lebron's fault
like people are talking about he's egotistical because he should

(02:00:15):
just make a.

Speaker 2 (02:00:16):
Decision already but.

Speaker 3 (02:00:17):
IT'S him i get to DETERMINE when i want to
make a decision ON where i want, to play so
you can. Rush him they just have to figure.

Speaker 7 (02:00:22):
It out, all right the Last one baseball may be
striking in twenty. Twenty seven who do You blame bucky.

Speaker 3 (02:00:32):
Owners just trying to get or just trying to squeeze
every dollar they can squeeze out. Of it this is
all a. Greed move they need to be, careful though
because baseball has never been.

Speaker 2 (02:00:41):
More properly i'll stop if you would.

Speaker 1 (02:00:42):
Kill it, you know the owners, of picks they really
they don't realize that the players are. The show people
don't go pay tickets to see. An owner they don't
want to see, the players and they want to want all.
That money then they want to give. It up stop,
it already let. IT out i don't want to. SEE
this i don't want to see. A strike it'll kill
base a really good, all right. That's it julian did a.
Great job we'll hope to see you. Next Week bucket god.
