(00:23):
Tyrag dot com. Will we get there on match election,
fast free shipping, free road as protection over ten thousand
recommends dollars tyrat dot com. It's the way tire buying
should be welcome in. You know, there's an expression that
so many of us use, and it becomes tiresome, it
becomes overused, it really does. It goes like this, Chess
(00:46):
not checkers, right, Chess not checkers, And we all use
it because it's smart and it's the assumption that chess
is a smarter game than checkers, is right. Do you
remember the last time you played checkers or the last
time you played chess? And by the way, even suggesting
that you play chess is like saying the word sofa
(01:07):
instead of saying couch, which brings to mind we were
discussing before the show the Donald Sutherland passed away today.
Donald Sutherland, one of my favorite roles with him in
movies is six degrees of separation, Right, you remember six
degrees of separation. Will Smith essentially plays a con man
(01:29):
and oops. If you not haven't seen it, then you're like, wait.
But the idea of six degrees separation is there's you
can put six degrees between any two people and you
find a connection anyway. One of the other parts to
it was the connection in the word in how we
associate words with your level of education. Right, don't say
don't say beer, say bottle of beer. Don't say couch,
(01:52):
say sofa. Right. Elite people say sofas, they don't say couch. Right.
That's why we say chess not checkers. It's the illusion
of sophistication. I think that's what's that case here with
Rich Paul. It's the illusion of sophistication. It's the attempt
to play chess not checkers, when really you can play
(02:15):
chess and just be a bad chess player. All right,
Stick with me now, because there's a couple of different
stories that come into one I remember yesterday we shared
with you these quotes of Rich Paul saying, like Bronny
and Lebron not tied at the hip at all. Lebron's
not going to sign for the minimum. No one ever
said Lebron would sign for the minimum. It's beyond stupid
(02:37):
to ever try and dumb down any sort of package
deal and think Lebron James would sign for anything less
than the max. But when you say that, you're like, well,
signed for the minimum. No one said that, but it
was this, Hey, listen, Toronto could take him. Dallas Nico Harrison,
(02:59):
who used to run, he used to be Lebron's right
hand man with like he's like an uncle to Bronni.
Why would Dallas want Bronnie James. Like, when I say
Bronnie James can't play, I don't mean he actually can't
play basketball. I just mean he can't play in the
NBA this year, couldn't play in college this year. And
when I say can't play in college, it means he couldn't.
(03:19):
You couldn't play him extended minutes and hope to actually
win basketball games. And that's not a complete knock on him.
Most freshmen, you couldn't play. He doesn't have a position.
He's a good player, he's a good human. He has
a chance to maybe eventually, maybe be an NBA end
(03:40):
of the bench player. But right now, no, And if
you're the Dallas Mavericks and you just reached the NBA Finals,
you're not drafting a guy who may be somewhere down
the road, oh my gosh, could be an NBA player,
unless you're gonna get lebron champs with him. We're playing chess,
not checkers. Let me let me combine the two stories.
(04:01):
Here's a story from Vince Goodwill. James Brego could be
a name to watch, league sources told y'ahoo Sports as
well as ESPN analyst JJ Reddick. And we're talking about
the Detroit Pistons. Reddick is currently the prime candidate for
the Lakers job, so it isn't known how much traction
Detroit could actually gain. Reddick and Langdon have a duke connection.
They were in New Orleans when Reddick signed there as
a free agent before the pandemic short in twenty nineteen
(04:22):
twenty twenty season. Ooh, we got a connection. But why
would JJ Reddick? Let's that was the story. Okay, I
believe that story is bunk bunk. Okay, Here's what I
think is at play. What I believe is at play
is that the story of yesterday and this story is
(04:44):
one of the same. It's that you got to create
some sort of idea that JJ Reddick needs to be
had by the Lakers. Otherwise you're gonna lose Lebron, just
like if you don't draft Bronnie, you're gonna lose Lebron. Oh,
we got breaking news. Here's Moncey Belognias Monsi.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Hey, Doug, you couldn't have been more on top of
the topic. But according to ESPN, Adrian war Janowski has
just tweeted, JJ Reddick has agreed on a four year
contract to become the next head coach of the Lakers.
Rob Polinka offered the job this morning. Reddick has already
started working on his staff to surround himself with experience.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
There you go, There you go, easy chest, not checkers.
All they're trying to do is get this deal finished.
How do you get the deal finished by getting a
little leverage? Hey, you know it could be up with
the Piston job. Piston. You know what could happen is
JJ Duke ties. He could work with Trajan Langdon Duke family.
Why would they hire him, Why would he take the
(05:51):
Pistons job? No, No, that's that doesn't fit. That doesn't
fit JJ Reddick. And you can't go from wanting to
coach lebron James and taking a ready made team to
a complete rebuild with the Detroit Pistons when you're a
sitting analyst calling the NBA finals. JJ's not an idiot,
(06:14):
not an idiot. So you look at that story and
it signified to me that they wanted to push to
get the deal done with JJ. Hey, you could lose
JJ here if you don't get this thing done. Detroit
could be interested in him because of Duke Ties. By
the way, JJ Reddick will tell you he has said
publicly he was miserable in New Orleans, miserable. So that
(06:36):
snapshot of JJ being some connector with Trajan Langdon, I
don't buy that one either, just like I don't buy
the look Bronni on his own merits could be like, no,
he's not. I mean, you're not even this is You're
not a Picasso in terms of being a BS artist.
You're more of a paint by numbers Lebron doesn't want
(06:58):
to leave LA isn't going to leave the Lakers, but
wants to control who's his head coach, and that Bronni
ends up being there. I don't believe for one second
that Lebron is off of the idea of playing with Bronnie.
That's dumb. That's not believable. It's not believable. If Bronnie
James is drafted somehow by another franchise, there is less
(07:22):
than five percent chance he gets a call up in
your one, Why would Lebron James when he can have
him with the Lakers and have him with the South
Bay Lakers and get him a call up, why would
he do that? Like, he's not staying around the NBA
for his health. He wants to compete for a championship,
but he also wants to play with his son. He
stated that as his goal this is do not fall
for really, really, really bad leverage plays. You know, I
(07:47):
got a guy in their line that wants to buy
this car. But if you want to pay over sticker,
it's yours right now. Like, why would I pay oversticker? Well,
there's a limited number of these cars. Okay, My guess
is you can go find another one, and if you can't,
that's gonna be tough. I just again, I think this
is a guy who plays checkers and he's trying to
(08:10):
play chess. And just because you play chess does not
mean that you're sophisticated. Just because you say the words
so far and bottle of beer does not mean I
have to fall for the idea that you know what
you're doing here. I've seen it with bad leverage plays
for Lebron in the past. Right when he was getting
ready to go to the Lakers, they leaked out, Hey,
(08:30):
he could go to the Spurs. We do know that
the San Antonio Spurs, Hey, their mantra is get over yourself.
Lebron James is a lot of things, Okay, good human being,
great basketball player, good solid teammate, one of the greats
of all times. Over himself is not one of those things.
I don't believe for one second that Lebron is going
(08:52):
to go to Dallas, is going to go to New Orleans,
and neither does anybody else. I also don't believe those
teams have any true interest in drafting him unless they
could get Lebron James. Why would they? Why would they.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So What do you think about this?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
What I think about JJ Redick?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah, JJ Reddick going from the broadcast booth to UH,
from podcast to head coach. And there was that little
thing in between about Danny Hurley being considered more than
JJ Reddick. No hurt feelings there, no awkwardness. Was this
going to be JJ rehck the entire time? Was the
(09:30):
Dan Hurley thing a huge ruse? All these questions need answers.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I believe that JJ was the prime candidate. I believe
they struggled to fill out of staff and that that
the the Danny Hurley thing was somebody coming in going like,
how do we who else is out there? Like you know,
Danny Hurley hasn't signed his contract. Really let's bring him
in and they want to move heaven and Earth. I
(09:57):
think a big question is how many years and how
much money they gave to JJ. But yeah, this was
probably there. This was their plan sort of all along,
and the Danny Hurley thing was more of a did
you know that he was available? And I can tell
you that that happens like in my job and what
I do in terms of signing players is that you
have guys and then somebody calls you or sends you
(10:20):
a video and says what do you think? And you
end up going like, Hey, I don't know what do
I What do I think here? Huh? And then you
kick it around and then you circle back to the
guys that you were honed in on to begin with,
honed it on to begin with. So that's my genuine belief.
(10:43):
Will it work? I got no idea. Let's see what
they do with the roster, but I don't think there's
any way in which JJ Reddick is a head coach
unless Lebron James. Okay, tod Lebron James isn't going anywhere.
You don't hire JJ Reddick, who does podcasts with Lebron James,
unless you've gotten a guarantee that Lebron James wants JJ
Reddick to be his head coach and they're going to
(11:03):
pitch it to you. As in so would I. As
Steve Kirk came right out of the broadcast booth, had
never coached a day in his life, and pat Riley
had sort of been an assistant. But pat Riley basically
came from the broadcast booth and became arguably, or maybe
you know, arguably the greatest coach in Lakers history. He
and Phil Jackson. So I don't think he was ever
(11:25):
in play in Detroit. I just think that was some
sort of bluff, probably coming from le Bronze camp in
order to make sure the deal got made, just like
Rich Paul with the sort of bluff. Hey, listen, Nicol
Harrison loves loves Bronnie James great, doesn't mean he wants
him on his roster.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Stug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. JJ Reddick is the
new head coach of the Lakers, per Agan Worganowski. Here's
JJ and lebron having this exchange on their podcast three
days before Darren Ham was fired.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Has any coach, front office person, analytics person like on
staff have they ever came to you and talked to
you about analytics and.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Shot profile with you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Never had that discussion.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, what I mean, they've never had that discussion with you.
That's funny, that's laughable. How could you do that? Right?
That's what that That's what that felt like. Then it
I feel like that to anybody else, Sure felt like
that to me, So uh it it appears pretty obvious,
(12:48):
and it appears pretty obvious that Lebron James wanted this
to happen, right, you wanted this to happen. And I
think all these things are connected. I don't think there's
there's just no doubt in my mind that all of
this stuff has some level of connection in that hey,
(13:08):
Bronni's out there, it's all part of the drug. Like
he's not gonna come off of the I I just
I find when people lie to me, and it's really
it has no no version of it could ever be
the truth. Like I just sit there and go like,
why why are you trying so hard to lie to me?
What did you actually gain out of that lie? That's
(13:30):
a terrible, terrible lie, terrible It isn't close to being true,
not even in the in the in the in the
in any way in the window of having any sort
of modericum of truth. And you sit there and try
and bs me like, no, thanks, no thanks. If you
(13:54):
don't think Lebron James is staying with the Lakers now
they hired h jj Reddick, I can't help you. The
two guys did a podcast together and they're not keeping
Lebron James like, oh yeah, YOI this is just trying
to leverage something. But when it's so obvious that it's
not true, it's like, and I don't know if it
(14:15):
still works this way with UH with car dealers, but
you know, I'm anytime you ever, but well, hold on,
I got to go back to my sales manager and
find out if we can we can do that. Mister Gottlieb,
give me a second, like, no, that's not how it works.
You know, it's not how it works. It's pretty simple.
(14:36):
I mean the car that I'm currently driving, I want
to buy it. I call my guy and it's like, yeah,
how much is it? Okay? Do I want to pay it?
Pretty simple? I call my guy Ryan and Ryan says
this is the price, and then I decide it's not.
I got to go back to my sales manager and
see if we can see what we can do for you.
(14:57):
We can throw in some mudflaps, no, you know, no,
let's make it sense, keep it simple. Stupid, I want
the car. I don't want the car, period stop. End
of story. Let's get to Moncy. Blancos with the News.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
MONTI, Doug, I was gonna say, you're just being too
logical about this, but keep it simple.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
Stupid was perfect, does it?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I mean, do you think there's there's no there's like
again this whole I did, like, I don't mind doing
the agent thing. I get it, Okay, But you sit
there and tell me, like Lebron's a free agent. They
just hired JJ Reddick. He's not going anywhere right. His
son's in high school, his daughter's in elementary school. He's
building a gigantic mansion. He's not going to Phoenix. Yes,
(15:42):
he's not going to Dallas. He's staying with the Lakers.
And all they're trying to do is get it the
way they want to get it, you know, and threatening
to leave town when they're not leaving town.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what is happening. And you've
laid it out perfectly. I agree with you. There are
no further details as to JJ redix four year contract
to become the next coach of the Lakers. According to ESPN,
Rob Palinka offered a job this morning. They're already working
on a staff to surround.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Reddick with more experience.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Pelinka became sold on Reddick's ability to connect with players
and his basketball IQ and believe surrounding him with an
elite coaching staff will help to shorten the learning curve
in his first coaching job. This was tweeted by or
Janowski of ESPN. So again we were we knew this,
we knew this, it was happening.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Stug Gotlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Did you
guys hear this? This is one of those those those stories. Uh.
By the way, Colin Cowhard said that earlier today that
the Lakers clearly do not value coaches. They view them
(16:52):
as very disposable. Uh So I don't. I I don't
think of that as as anyway true. I think they
think of all of it being connected and all of
it being related. I do think they value coaches, and
you know, part of it is, you know they I
(17:12):
know that they didn't. They didn't offer Danny Hurley one
hundred million dollars, and a hundred million dollars would have
been a ridiculous sum of money. But even offering six
years seventy million dollars was above and beyond anything they
normally would have offered to a coach. On his first
professional contract NBA contract. So that just shows how they
cheap they've been, but cheap financially does not mean they
(17:35):
necessarily value or don't value somebody. I think those two
things are different. Those two things are different. Did did
you guys hear this Kelly Stafford her podcast? Like, I
don't know, guys, probably not when I want the mother
(17:57):
of my kids sharing on a podcast which has now
gone viral, Guys, do we have the sound of this?
Speaker 8 (18:07):
So?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Kelly Stafford was college sweethearts with Matt Stafford. They're married happily,
so she has had a podcast. She's outspoken. She said
some things just stepped in the holes before, but yet
the podcast remains. Here's Kelly Stafford on how she motivated
Matt Stafford to locking her up to a lifetime contract.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Wait, so was he trying to casually date and you
were all yeah, girl?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Anyways, long story short, it wasn't that cute of a relationship.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
At first.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
I hated him.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I loved him.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I dated the backup to piss him.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Off, which yes, he was like, that'll do it.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
He was a bad boy too, like Matthew's so sweet
and southern gentleman and all stuff.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
And the backup was the complete opposite. Yeah, yeah, ooh,
and it upset him.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
So they lived in the same dorm because athletes lived
in the same dorm, and he would see my car
there and so at one point he like waited and
fought and followed me out and got in my car
and wouldn't get out.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
So and he was like this is so hot, Like
this is working.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
Yeah, I was get out of my car and he's like,
I don't He's not right for you.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
And I was like, who what?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You can't tell me that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Again. All of this might sound really good to tell
a girlfriend and somebody you're really close to. You know
what it's not really good is when you share it
with the rest of the free world.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, that's a uh, let's let's bring in Mansi Belanyas again.
I understand, you know, she basically leveraged this other relationship.
This is kind of all what we're talking about.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I had not heard that until this moment, and my
jaw kept dropping further and further.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I would not.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Say that out loud, but it seems as though she
is very comfortable with how it went down and how
she got her man, and she just.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Wants to share that information. Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Said on the podcast. You said what on the podcast?
Excuse me?
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Yeah, I just you know, I feel like Kelly Stafford.
She seems like a like, like a very nice lady.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
But I think she doesn't you don't think so I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Now listen, let me just tell you what the rest
of the guys think. Okay, you want to know you like,
I want what girls think. I'll tell you what guys think.
Guys like, are you a kidding? Right? Like, Hey, Kelly,
you've been along for the ride with the guy worth
about you know, five hundred million dollars. We don't ask
a whole hell of a lot of you. But not
sharing your sexual history with this backup quarterback probably one
of those things that I'm not sure it has to
(20:43):
be a spoken rule, but it's definitely an unspoken rule
that is incredibly uncool.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, so I and then the backup's.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
A bad boy. Oh my gosh, the things Wait Dad, alright, Taddy, Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 8 (20:57):
And this isn't the first time that we've had a
conversation of some mean she has said that has affected him.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yes, And and what that is is it's an incredible insecurity, right,
that's all. This is the only reason you would share
that is if you're remarkably insecure as a person that
you had to know everybody that he chased me. I
didn't chase him. I'm not a gold.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Digger and it could have been such just like that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Matter, what are you doing? And I don't. I don't
have it again, I'm not a double standard dude, Okay.
I understand that we're all allowed to be humans. We're
all you know, you're a college student, You're gonna have
a past, You're gonna have a history, like we all
got stuff. What I do know is nobody wants that shared.
There's not a human being that wants that share. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
No, I would not be happy.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I would share that about my ex wife, let alone
my wife.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Yes, good, yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It is what world is that? Okay? Right?
Speaker 9 (21:50):
What was the goal here? To make yourself look cooler?
Because that's not what you got.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That's exactly what That's exactly the goal, right, And it's
just like anything like when you talk to people about
you know, you don't actually have to look cool, right,
you know, it's really cool just being a good person
and having a great family, and but this is you know,
she wants she wants to make headlines. Congrats you got headlines.
I think that's JAYCETU help me out here? Are you
(22:20):
signing off on this?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I think it makes great content for something, uh, you know,
for what I do for a living. But you have
to you have to admit like this tactic is as
old as humans, right, I cave people. We're making the
other jealous to secure the their their relationship. This is
a a tried and true, tested way to secure something
(22:47):
that a relationship that you think might be getting out
of handle a little bit, if you if if you
sense that your bow is is wandering. This is something
that both male and female have been doing for centuries.
The fact that it's his backup, that that's a little
more what would you call it? Sallacious? Yeah, it couldn't
have been the right guard or even like a defensive lineman.
(23:09):
It had to be the backup. He's got to share
the quarterback room with this guy the rest of the season.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
That malicious.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
That's a little bit more dirty for me.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yea months. You do know what the term is, right.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
That the term what term?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
When you are you and another have been with the
same woman.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
I don't think I do. Maybe I do, and I
just can't think of it at the moment. You can
tell you, Sam, I have an idea you are something buddies.
Is that what we're going with?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, but it's not a bad word.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
It's not about then I yeah, I can't think of it,
but I feel like, yeah, you're gonna tell me to
be like, oh no, Sam.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I don't know at this point, likeless.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
What about you? What about you? Jason? Jason knows what
it is, but he's like, are you afraid to say it?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
And you're not going for the alliteration term that starts
with sloppy?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, No, that's what I thought originally, but.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well eskimo bros. That's what it's called.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Oh yeah, I have heard that expression.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I just again imagine like Matt Stafford is going to
be welcome back to Georgia and has he had his
number retired yet? Like, and there's like there's the backup
like awkward, super awkward, like and then everybody and and
like dudes, kind of no, but now everybody.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Knows what are you doing so terrible?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
How is that? I get like, and she thinks and
it's one of those things where she goes skipping home thinking, Babe,
best podcast ever, can't wait wait to hear the numbers, like, yeah,
that's that's not really cool. We have kids.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
We have kids, and also don't say that that's about.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Did you did you have to have to say not
to say that again? I'm I get Monsie. Maybe I'm
more asking here, does that have to is it something
that needs to be stated? Hey, by the way, how
about we don't talk about the fact that you used
to sleep with my backup?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, I thought that she could sit there and go like.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No, I never said I didn't sleep with him, like
you said he was a bad boy. You said you
were at the same dorm. We've all been to college before.
You know, you didn't tutor him. Yes, had you not
thrown it yet, you could have left it up for
to be and you know a little ambiguous if you
would have just said, hey, we just went out a
(25:34):
couple of times. Once you said he was a bad boy,
he was the difference. You know, this guy's a southern gentleman.
That guy.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh yeah, we did some things.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Again, it's not our first time doing something like this,
saying something like a lot of.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Things are not her first time, you know, I well
white on my wedding day. Just to keep everybody happy,
That's what we did. And again, like I'm not a
super Bowl judging old guy. I understand it sucks that
women are judged. You know what they do and men do,
you know, roughly the same thing, but publicly.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Hard past kind of sounds like the plot of a
John Hughes movie, you know, like an eighties John Hughes
movie where the Molly ring Wald sleeps with the backup
with the quarterback on her sixteenth birthday and she's wearing
pink and they have detention on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, there's definitely some tension there. There's no doubt about it. None, none, none, none,
Oh yeah yo yeah yo Stug Gottlieb show here on
Fox Sports Radio. I just don't even like what is
what is dinner conversation? Like when your wife shares her
(26:52):
sexual exploits before you became husband and wife with the
entire world, including with your children. Everybody always says like,
I'm gonna be honest with my kids. Really, Oh, I
We're gonna tell my kids truth? Really, how much of
the truth are you gonna tell them? Well, I'm gonna
(27:13):
tell my I just I don't want to lie to
my kids. Okay, tell them the whole thing. Tell them
about that time in Mexico we had too much tequila, right,
tell them about that time. You remember that time, right?
Do you remember that time we were out it was late. Yeah,
you're not being you know, it's like full honesty.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
There there's something called privacy. Uh what's what's it? And look,
I struggle with this one. There's something called boundaries. I'm
not really a big boundary person, like people are, Like,
I have people, they stay at my house. I let
people into my life, you know, people in my life
at times I probably shouldn't have been like, but there
are certain boundaries my my personal text life. There's a
(27:57):
boundary there. What I hear in that, I mean, I
can just Matt Stafford has to be absolutely mortified, absolutely mortified.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You do wonder what she's referring to when she says
that this backup was the opposite of Matt and upset him.
What what's the opposite that he?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Who was the backup?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
By the way, Oh, we'll take a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I mean, every human being on earth this is has
googled who's heard this has been googling. You know Georgia
backup quarterback Matt Stafford. Right, let me tell you he
was a bad boy. He was a bad boy. I'm
sure that will that will come out as well. That
guy's having himself a day. That guy's sitting there going
(28:45):
like eh, top, Yeah, it was a bed boy in college.
Stuck got them show here on Fox Sports Radio. I mean,
am I am? I dead? Am? If I'm wrong, I
feel free you guys tell me I'm wrong. I just
don't think I'm wrong on this one. This one, I'm
pretty sure I'm dead to rights accurate on that?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Is?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That is a Are you kidding me? Did you think?
At what point did you think this was a good idea? Color?

Speaker 6 (29:21):
Show, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. This from Bleacher Report.
JJ Redick was drafted three years after Lebron James Reddick
retired in twenty twenty one and is now coaching Lebron
in his twenty second season as a player. That's an
amazing story, as we just learned that JJ Redick is
the new head coach of the LA Lakers. This is
the Doug Gottlieb Show. The Twitter handle is at Gottlieb Show.
(29:51):
The Instagram handle is the same. Am I wrong here?
On Kelli Stafford?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Really, you're gonna share those details on podcasts?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It was crazy?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It was crazy crazy. Let's get the game time.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What do you got there?
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Well, it is Thursday, one of my new favorite games.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Sam, what are we playing?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Is he all right?
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Is he all right? I'm sorry? I laugh every time
I hear it. I can't, I can't.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
So I'm gonna present you with different people scenarios.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Are you just gonna tell me exactly? Okay?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
So let's start Draft Prospect and Lebron jameson Bronnie James
according to Paul George, who we still don't know if
he's gonna stay a Clipper, that's supper conversation. He says
that a comparison to Bronnie James might be Drew Holiday,
So Doug Bronnie James.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh, from what perspective, From.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
The perspective of a comparison, that's remember that's the game.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Here is he I is completely up to your discretion.
There is no rule to he is he is.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He is absolutely comparable to Drew Holiday from this standpoint.
He has family members in the NBA. He's black. He
played in the Mission League, which is a private school
league in the Valley and in Los Angeles. As a player, yeah,
he does blend in well with others as a talent.
It's laughable, laughable, laughable. Now I understand, Like, what is
(31:44):
Paul George gonna say his son thinks he can't play
sons on? Like, what is he going to say? But
he's What he's trying to say is like, look, Drew
is a guy that the statute doesn't always do him
justice for how much he affects the game. Sure, okay,
but when Briny James played quality minutes for USC, they
couldn't win. It's just facts. There's nothing else, like, I mean,
(32:08):
I just facts. He's not a bad player. Hey, he's
a good college basketball player, good college basketball prospect who
this year, would probably earn a starting spot and many
a power five. Would he absolutely start any school in
the country. No, he would not. I'm not totally convinced
he would. He would he would start for me, Yeah,
(32:30):
I mean that, I don't know for a fact that
he would start for me. He probably could compete for
minutes at but he's not really a point guard. He's
never been a point guard. Could he play point guard
for me, probably, but he wouldn't be my best player.
I can tell you that right now. I have a
guy who was in the gym with me this morning
who is a better perimeter basketball player than he is,
(32:53):
And I have other guys that are are better, more
experienced college basketball players. So I just think this whole
thing is really silly because I don't blame Bronni in
any way for the hype, like he didn't ask for
all this hype. But it's completely about his last name.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
And that sucks on the heels of the Lakers hiring
JJ Reddick. So, according to College Basketball Report, they're tweeting that,
according to Shams, Reddick is interested in bringing Rajon Rondo
as an assistant coach. You know, former player retired in
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Is Raon Rondo?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is he all right?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh yeah, I think I think yes, I think he's
all right? Again? What is he is?
Speaker 4 (33:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
This is about is Rondo smart? Yes? Lebron like him? Yes,
you know. Is he gonna be front of the bench, No,
it'll be behind the bench. I don't think any I
don't think Rondo was selected by JJ Reddick though, I
think he was selected by the Lakers.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
I see, okay, all right, all right, let's move on
to the WNBA. Here, Chicago's sky rookie Angel Rees another
double double today, seventh in a row, now a new.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Rookie w NBA record.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Doug angel Reese, is she I.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Uh, yeah, she's. She's Actually the definition of she's I
like very little. Her skill is that she plays hard
and competes.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
She does you know, yeah, but she's not.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Skilled in the classic refined kind of skill way. And
comparing her to Kaitlin Clark is like they're two completely
different players. But yeah, yeah, I mean from what she does, she's.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 11 (34:41):
Let's move on to Trevor Lawrence, who was getting paid
by the Jags. But he did say that there is
no added pressure with this new contract, Doug Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Is he all right? He'll be all right forever with
that contract, But he's not I in terms of the
there's no added pressure, right, like sorry, there's no one
on earth that says now that he's making two hundred
and seventy five million dollars, right, there's absolutely out of pressure.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
It must be nice though, to feel like there isn't
any and get that much money must be nice. All right,
let's move on to a little baseball, all right. Three
Times Signing Award winner Clayton Kershaw had his first rehab
start one run, two hit, struck out five, was reaching
ninety miles an hour, but he has not played since
November because of a shoulder injury.
Speaker 9 (35:27):
Doug Clayton Kershaw is he all right?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
M's Clayton k A right? I do not think he's
h Yeah, you know, shoulder injury.
Speaker 9 (35:41):
Shoulder, yeah, you know he's had several, you know, over
the years.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
But yeah, shoulderack back after that trip to where Australia.
Everyone claims that that's what did it remember, But yeah,
it's a shoulder injury since November.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
I it's not all right, all right, let's move on
to hip hop artist Kanye West. I don't know if
you've seen videos. He has been at an event in
Paris this week with his wife. I think it's his wife.
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Oh, it's his wife.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yes, I agree with that research on his wife last night.
I just had to spend some time.
Speaker 9 (36:20):
With that video.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Like he looks ridiculous. I'm not entirely sure what he's wearing.
He looks like he's wrapped up and I don't even know,
like this white get up not cute.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
She looks very good. I don't know who she is,
but we're not talking about her.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
We're talking about I will say this, it's hard to
not it's hard to see anything in the video except
for her, except for if you're a warm blooded male.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
You don't have to be just a warm blooded male.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Try't.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Once you once your eyes wander upon the person she's with,
you're like, what the hell is he wearing?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
What is he?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Right?
Speaker 8 (36:51):
It's like he's he literally is wearing like a like
a suit.
Speaker 9 (36:55):
That's like wrapped him around like a magician.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
What is that thing?
Speaker 8 (36:59):
That suit that that magician trick where you're like, oh,
you know, stuck in something.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
You gotta get out of street jacket.
Speaker 9 (37:05):
Straight jacket. Thank you so much. We got there. That's
what he looks like. He's just wearing. So Doug, Kanye West.

What about right?
Speaker 1 (37:14):
Oh? Is he all right? Is he all right? Thank
your in us is here? Right? Kanye West is not
far from my far from Kanye. It's not a question
of if Kanye West has lost his mind, it's when
was that moment that he lost his mind?
Speaker 10 (37:35):
Right?
Speaker 9 (37:36):
Yeah, it's a good question. I think we would all
like to.
Speaker 4 (37:38):
Did you see the video dog?
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Yes, Oh my goodness, he's not I.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
He's got a straight jacket on and he's got like
one of those beekeeper hats.
Speaker 4 (37:49):

Speaker 1 (37:51):
Right, yeah, not I No, he's getting people talking though
far from my Maybe he's manipulating it all.
Speaker 9 (37:57):
I guess, I guess. And that is games.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
Show, Snug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio, coming

rumor of a new collective agreement, Uh, collective collective agreement potentially,
but coming up next. More on the news, The Lakers

(00:23):
Tyrag dot com. Will we get there on match election,
fast free shipping, free road as protection over ten thousand
recommends dollars tyrat dot com. It's the way tire buying
should be welcome in. You know, there's an expression that
so many of us use, and it becomes tiresome, it
becomes overused, it really does. It goes like this, Chess
(00:46):
not checkers, right, Chess not checkers, And we all use
it because it's smart and it's the assumption that chess
is a smarter game than checkers, is right. Do you
remember the last time you played checkers or the last
time you played chess? And by the way, even suggesting
that you play chess is like saying the word sofa
(01:07):
instead of saying couch, which brings to mind we were
discussing before the show the Donald Sutherland passed away today.
Donald Sutherland, one of my favorite roles with him in
movies is six degrees of separation, Right, you remember six
degrees of separation. Will Smith essentially plays a con man
(01:29):
and oops. If you not haven't seen it, then you're like, wait.
But the idea of six degrees separation is there's you
can put six degrees between any two people and you
find a connection anyway. One of the other parts to
it was the connection in the word in how we
associate words with your level of education. Right, don't say
don't say beer, say bottle of beer. Don't say couch,
(01:52):
say sofa. Right. Elite people say sofas, they don't say couch. Right.
That's why we say chess not checkers. It's the illusion
of sophistication. I think that's what's that case here with
Rich Paul. It's the illusion of sophistication. It's the attempt
to play chess not checkers, when really you can play
(02:15):
chess and just be a bad chess player. All right,
Stick with me now, because there's a couple of different
stories that come into one I remember yesterday we shared
with you these quotes of Rich Paul saying, like Bronny
and Lebron not tied at the hip at all. Lebron's
not going to sign for the minimum. No one ever
said Lebron would sign for the minimum. It's beyond stupid
(02:37):
to ever try and dumb down any sort of package
deal and think Lebron James would sign for anything less
than the max. But when you say that, you're like, well,
signed for the minimum. No one said that, but it
was this, Hey, listen, Toronto could take him. Dallas Nico Harrison,
(02:59):
who used to run, he used to be Lebron's right
hand man with like he's like an uncle to Bronni.
Why would Dallas want Bronnie James. Like, when I say
Bronnie James can't play, I don't mean he actually can't
play basketball. I just mean he can't play in the
NBA this year, couldn't play in college this year. And
when I say can't play in college, it means he couldn't.
(03:19):
You couldn't play him extended minutes and hope to actually
win basketball games. And that's not a complete knock on him.
Most freshmen, you couldn't play. He doesn't have a position.
He's a good player, he's a good human. He has
a chance to maybe eventually, maybe be an NBA end
(03:40):
of the bench player. But right now, no, And if
you're the Dallas Mavericks and you just reached the NBA Finals,
you're not drafting a guy who may be somewhere down
the road, oh my gosh, could be an NBA player,
unless you're gonna get lebron champs with him. We're playing chess,
not checkers. Let me let me combine the two stories.
(04:01):
Here's a story from Vince Goodwill. James Brego could be
a name to watch, league sources told y'ahoo Sports as
well as ESPN analyst JJ Reddick. And we're talking about
the Detroit Pistons. Reddick is currently the prime candidate for
the Lakers job, so it isn't known how much traction
Detroit could actually gain. Reddick and Langdon have a duke connection.
They were in New Orleans when Reddick signed there as
a free agent before the pandemic short in twenty nineteen
(04:22):
twenty twenty season. Ooh, we got a connection. But why
would JJ Reddick? Let's that was the story. Okay, I
believe that story is bunk bunk. Okay, Here's what I
think is at play. What I believe is at play
is that the story of yesterday and this story is
(04:44):
one of the same. It's that you got to create
some sort of idea that JJ Reddick needs to be
had by the Lakers. Otherwise you're gonna lose Lebron, just
like if you don't draft Bronnie, you're gonna lose Lebron. Oh,
we got breaking news. Here's Moncey Belognias Monsi.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
Hey, Doug, you couldn't have been more on top of
the topic. But according to ESPN, Adrian war Janowski has
just tweeted, JJ Reddick has agreed on a four year
contract to become the next head coach of the Lakers.
Rob Polinka offered the job this morning. Reddick has already
started working on his staff to surround himself with experience.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
There you go, There you go, easy chest, not checkers.
All they're trying to do is get this deal finished.
How do you get the deal finished by getting a
little leverage? Hey, you know it could be up with
the Piston job. Piston. You know what could happen is
JJ Duke ties. He could work with Trajan Langdon Duke family.
Why would they hire him, Why would he take the
(05:51):
Pistons job? No, No, that's that doesn't fit. That doesn't
fit JJ Reddick. And you can't go from wanting to
coach lebron James and taking a ready made team to
a complete rebuild with the Detroit Pistons when you're a
sitting analyst calling the NBA finals. JJ's not an idiot,
(06:14):
not an idiot. So you look at that story and
it signified to me that they wanted to push to
get the deal done with JJ. Hey, you could lose
JJ here if you don't get this thing done. Detroit
could be interested in him because of Duke Ties. By
the way, JJ Reddick will tell you he has said
publicly he was miserable in New Orleans, miserable. So that
(06:36):
snapshot of JJ being some connector with Trajan Langdon, I
don't buy that one either, just like I don't buy
the look Bronni on his own merits could be like, no,
he's not. I mean, you're not even this is You're
not a Picasso in terms of being a BS artist.
You're more of a paint by numbers Lebron doesn't want
(06:58):
to leave LA isn't going to leave the Lakers, but
wants to control who's his head coach, and that Bronni
ends up being there. I don't believe for one second
that Lebron is off of the idea of playing with Bronnie.
That's dumb. That's not believable. It's not believable. If Bronnie
James is drafted somehow by another franchise, there is less
(07:22):
than five percent chance he gets a call up in
your one, Why would Lebron James when he can have
him with the Lakers and have him with the South
Bay Lakers and get him a call up, why would
he do that? Like, he's not staying around the NBA
for his health. He wants to compete for a championship,
but he also wants to play with his son. He
stated that as his goal this is do not fall
for really, really, really bad leverage plays. You know, I
(07:47):
got a guy in their line that wants to buy
this car. But if you want to pay over sticker,
it's yours right now. Like, why would I pay oversticker? Well,
there's a limited number of these cars. Okay, My guess
is you can go find another one, and if you can't,
that's gonna be tough. I just again, I think this
is a guy who plays checkers and he's trying to
(08:10):
play chess. And just because you play chess does not
mean that you're sophisticated. Just because you say the words
so far and bottle of beer does not mean I
have to fall for the idea that you know what
you're doing here. I've seen it with bad leverage plays
for Lebron in the past. Right when he was getting
ready to go to the Lakers, they leaked out, Hey,
(08:30):
he could go to the Spurs. We do know that
the San Antonio Spurs, Hey, their mantra is get over yourself.
Lebron James is a lot of things, Okay, good human being,
great basketball player, good solid teammate, one of the greats
of all times. Over himself is not one of those things.
I don't believe for one second that Lebron is going
(08:52):
to go to Dallas, is going to go to New Orleans,
and neither does anybody else. I also don't believe those
teams have any true interest in drafting him unless they
could get Lebron James. Why would they? Why would they.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
So What do you think about this?
Speaker 1 (09:07):
What I think about JJ Redick?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yeah, JJ Reddick going from the broadcast booth to UH,
from podcast to head coach. And there was that little
thing in between about Danny Hurley being considered more than
JJ Reddick. No hurt feelings there, no awkwardness. Was this
going to be JJ rehck the entire time? Was the
(09:30):
Dan Hurley thing a huge ruse? All these questions need answers.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I believe that JJ was the prime candidate. I believe
they struggled to fill out of staff and that that
the the Danny Hurley thing was somebody coming in going like,
how do we who else is out there? Like you know,
Danny Hurley hasn't signed his contract. Really let's bring him
in and they want to move heaven and Earth. I
(09:57):
think a big question is how many years and how
much money they gave to JJ. But yeah, this was
probably there. This was their plan sort of all along,
and the Danny Hurley thing was more of a did
you know that he was available? And I can tell
you that that happens like in my job and what
I do in terms of signing players is that you
have guys and then somebody calls you or sends you
(10:20):
a video and says what do you think? And you
end up going like, Hey, I don't know what do
I What do I think here? Huh? And then you
kick it around and then you circle back to the
guys that you were honed in on to begin with,
honed it on to begin with. So that's my genuine belief.
(10:43):
Will it work? I got no idea. Let's see what
they do with the roster, but I don't think there's
any way in which JJ Reddick is a head coach
unless Lebron James. Okay, tod Lebron James isn't going anywhere.
You don't hire JJ Reddick, who does podcasts with Lebron James,
unless you've gotten a guarantee that Lebron James wants JJ
Reddick to be his head coach and they're going to
(11:03):
pitch it to you. As in so would I. As
Steve Kirk came right out of the broadcast booth, had
never coached a day in his life, and pat Riley
had sort of been an assistant. But pat Riley basically
came from the broadcast booth and became arguably, or maybe
you know, arguably the greatest coach in Lakers history. He
and Phil Jackson. So I don't think he was ever
(11:25):
in play in Detroit. I just think that was some
sort of bluff, probably coming from le Bronze camp in
order to make sure the deal got made, just like
Rich Paul with the sort of bluff. Hey, listen, Nicol
Harrison loves loves Bronnie James great, doesn't mean he wants
him on his roster.
Speaker 6 (11:44):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Doug
Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific on
Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Stug Gottlieb Show Fox Sports Radio. JJ Reddick is the
new head coach of the Lakers, per Agan Worganowski. Here's
JJ and lebron having this exchange on their podcast three
days before Darren Ham was fired.
Speaker 7 (12:08):
Has any coach, front office person, analytics person like on
staff have they ever came to you and talked to
you about analytics and.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Shot profile with you?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Never had that discussion.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
No, what I mean, they've never had that discussion with you.
That's funny, that's laughable. How could you do that? Right?
That's what that That's what that felt like. Then it
I feel like that to anybody else, Sure felt like
that to me, So uh it it appears pretty obvious,
(12:48):
and it appears pretty obvious that Lebron James wanted this
to happen, right, you wanted this to happen. And I
think all these things are connected. I don't think there's
there's just no doubt in my mind that all of
this stuff has some level of connection in that hey,
(13:08):
Bronni's out there, it's all part of the drug. Like
he's not gonna come off of the I I just
I find when people lie to me, and it's really
it has no no version of it could ever be
the truth. Like I just sit there and go like,
why why are you trying so hard to lie to me?
What did you actually gain out of that lie? That's
(13:30):
a terrible, terrible lie, terrible It isn't close to being true,
not even in the in the in the in the
in any way in the window of having any sort
of modericum of truth. And you sit there and try
and bs me like, no, thanks, no thanks. If you
(13:54):
don't think Lebron James is staying with the Lakers now
they hired h jj Reddick, I can't help you. The
two guys did a podcast together and they're not keeping
Lebron James like, oh yeah, YOI this is just trying
to leverage something. But when it's so obvious that it's
not true, it's like, and I don't know if it
(14:15):
still works this way with UH with car dealers, but
you know, I'm anytime you ever, but well, hold on,
I got to go back to my sales manager and
find out if we can we can do that. Mister Gottlieb,
give me a second, like, no, that's not how it works.
You know, it's not how it works. It's pretty simple.
(14:36):
I mean the car that I'm currently driving, I want
to buy it. I call my guy and it's like, yeah,
how much is it? Okay? Do I want to pay it?
Pretty simple? I call my guy Ryan and Ryan says
this is the price, and then I decide it's not.
I got to go back to my sales manager and
see if we can see what we can do for you.
(14:57):
We can throw in some mudflaps, no, you know, no,
let's make it sense, keep it simple. Stupid, I want
the car. I don't want the car, period stop. End
of story. Let's get to Moncy. Blancos with the News.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
MONTI, Doug, I was gonna say, you're just being too
logical about this, but keep it simple.
Speaker 9 (15:18):
Stupid was perfect, does it?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I mean, do you think there's there's no there's like
again this whole I did, like, I don't mind doing
the agent thing. I get it, Okay, But you sit
there and tell me, like Lebron's a free agent. They
just hired JJ Reddick. He's not going anywhere right. His
son's in high school, his daughter's in elementary school. He's
building a gigantic mansion. He's not going to Phoenix. Yes,
(15:42):
he's not going to Dallas. He's staying with the Lakers.
And all they're trying to do is get it the
way they want to get it, you know, and threatening
to leave town when they're not leaving town.
Speaker 8 (15:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what is happening. And you've
laid it out perfectly. I agree with you. There are
no further details as to JJ redix four year contract
to become the next coach of the Lakers. According to ESPN,
Rob Palinka offered a job this morning. They're already working
on a staff to surround.
Speaker 9 (16:09):
Reddick with more experience.
Speaker 8 (16:11):
Pelinka became sold on Reddick's ability to connect with players
and his basketball IQ and believe surrounding him with an
elite coaching staff will help to shorten the learning curve
in his first coaching job. This was tweeted by or
Janowski of ESPN. So again we were we knew this,
we knew this, it was happening.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Stug Gotlieb show here on Fox Sports Radio. Did you
guys hear this? This is one of those those those stories. Uh.
By the way, Colin Cowhard said that earlier today that
the Lakers clearly do not value coaches. They view them
(16:52):
as very disposable. Uh So I don't. I I don't
think of that as as anyway true. I think they
think of all of it being connected and all of
it being related. I do think they value coaches, and
you know, part of it is, you know they I
(17:12):
know that they didn't. They didn't offer Danny Hurley one
hundred million dollars, and a hundred million dollars would have
been a ridiculous sum of money. But even offering six
years seventy million dollars was above and beyond anything they
normally would have offered to a coach. On his first
professional contract NBA contract. So that just shows how they
cheap they've been, but cheap financially does not mean they
(17:35):
necessarily value or don't value somebody. I think those two
things are different. Those two things are different. Did did
you guys hear this Kelly Stafford her podcast? Like, I
don't know, guys, probably not when I want the mother
(17:57):
of my kids sharing on a podcast which has now
gone viral, Guys, do we have the sound of this?
Speaker 8 (18:07):
So?
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Kelly Stafford was college sweethearts with Matt Stafford. They're married happily,
so she has had a podcast. She's outspoken. She said
some things just stepped in the holes before, but yet
the podcast remains. Here's Kelly Stafford on how she motivated
Matt Stafford to locking her up to a lifetime contract.
Speaker 9 (18:32):
Wait, so was he trying to casually date and you
were all yeah, girl?
Speaker 10 (18:35):
Anyways, long story short, it wasn't that cute of a relationship.
Speaker 9 (18:38):
At first.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
I hated him.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I loved him.
Speaker 10 (18:40):
I dated the backup to piss him.
Speaker 9 (18:41):
Off, which yes, he was like, that'll do it.
Speaker 10 (18:44):
He was a bad boy too, like Matthew's so sweet
and southern gentleman and all stuff.
Speaker 9 (18:48):
And the backup was the complete opposite. Yeah, yeah, ooh,
and it upset him.
Speaker 10 (18:53):
So they lived in the same dorm because athletes lived
in the same dorm, and he would see my car
there and so at one point he like waited and
fought and followed me out and got in my car
and wouldn't get out.
Speaker 9 (19:04):
So and he was like this is so hot, Like
this is working.
Speaker 10 (19:08):
Yeah, I was get out of my car and he's like,
I don't He's not right for you.
Speaker 9 (19:11):
And I was like, who what?
Speaker 2 (19:12):
You can't tell me that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Again. All of this might sound really good to tell
a girlfriend and somebody you're really close to. You know
what it's not really good is when you share it
with the rest of the free world.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
It was crazy.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah, that's a uh, let's let's bring in Mansi Belanyas again.
I understand, you know, she basically leveraged this other relationship.
This is kind of all what we're talking about.
Speaker 9 (19:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (19:42):
I had not heard that until this moment, and my
jaw kept dropping further and further.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I would not.
Speaker 8 (19:49):
Say that out loud, but it seems as though she
is very comfortable with how it went down and how
she got her man, and she just.
Speaker 9 (20:02):
Wants to share that information. Oh yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Said on the podcast. You said what on the podcast?
Excuse me?
Speaker 8 (20:12):
Yeah, I just you know, I feel like Kelly Stafford.
She seems like a like, like a very nice lady.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
But I think she doesn't you don't think so I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Now listen, let me just tell you what the rest
of the guys think. Okay, you want to know you like,
I want what girls think. I'll tell you what guys think.
Guys like, are you a kidding? Right? Like, Hey, Kelly,
you've been along for the ride with the guy worth
about you know, five hundred million dollars. We don't ask
a whole hell of a lot of you. But not
sharing your sexual history with this backup quarterback probably one
of those things that I'm not sure it has to
(20:43):
be a spoken rule, but it's definitely an unspoken rule
that is incredibly uncool.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, so I and then the backup's.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
A bad boy. Oh my gosh, the things Wait Dad, alright, Taddy, Like,
what are you doing?
Speaker 8 (20:57):
And this isn't the first time that we've had a
conversation of some mean she has said that has affected him.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Yes, And and what that is is it's an incredible insecurity, right,
that's all. This is the only reason you would share
that is if you're remarkably insecure as a person that
you had to know everybody that he chased me. I
didn't chase him. I'm not a gold.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Digger and it could have been such just like that.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Matter, what are you doing? And I don't. I don't
have it again, I'm not a double standard dude, Okay.
I understand that we're all allowed to be humans. We're
all you know, you're a college student, You're gonna have
a past, You're gonna have a history, like we all
got stuff. What I do know is nobody wants that shared.
There's not a human being that wants that share. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (21:41):
No, I would not be happy.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I would share that about my ex wife, let alone
my wife.
Speaker 9 (21:45):
Yes, good, yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
It is what world is that? Okay? Right?
Speaker 9 (21:50):
What was the goal here? To make yourself look cooler?
Because that's not what you got.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
That's exactly what That's exactly the goal, right, And it's
just like anything like when you talk to people about
you know, you don't actually have to look cool, right,
you know, it's really cool just being a good person
and having a great family, and but this is you know,
she wants she wants to make headlines. Congrats you got headlines.
I think that's JAYCETU help me out here? Are you
(22:20):
signing off on this?
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Well?
Speaker 5 (22:23):
I think it makes great content for something, uh, you know,
for what I do for a living. But you have
to you have to admit like this tactic is as
old as humans, right, I cave people. We're making the
other jealous to secure the their their relationship. This is
a a tried and true, tested way to secure something
(22:47):
that a relationship that you think might be getting out
of handle a little bit, if you if if you
sense that your bow is is wandering. This is something
that both male and female have been doing for centuries.
The fact that it's his backup, that that's a little
more what would you call it? Sallacious? Yeah, it couldn't
have been the right guard or even like a defensive lineman.
(23:09):
It had to be the backup. He's got to share
the quarterback room with this guy the rest of the season.
Speaker 9 (23:15):
That malicious.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
That's a little bit more dirty for me.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yea months. You do know what the term is, right.
Speaker 9 (23:21):
That the term what term?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
When you are you and another have been with the
same woman.
Speaker 9 (23:31):
I don't think I do. Maybe I do, and I
just can't think of it at the moment. You can
tell you, Sam, I have an idea you are something buddies.
Is that what we're going with?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yeah, but it's not a bad word.
Speaker 8 (23:46):
It's not about then I yeah, I can't think of it,
but I feel like, yeah, you're gonna tell me to
be like, oh no, Sam.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
I don't know at this point, likeless.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
What about you? What about you? Jason? Jason knows what
it is, but he's like, are you afraid to say it?
Speaker 4 (24:02):
And you're not going for the alliteration term that starts
with sloppy?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Right, No, that's what I thought originally, but.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Well eskimo bros. That's what it's called.
Speaker 9 (24:11):
Oh yeah, I have heard that expression.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
I just again imagine like Matt Stafford is going to
be welcome back to Georgia and has he had his
number retired yet? Like, and there's like there's the backup
like awkward, super awkward, like and then everybody and and
like dudes, kind of no, but now everybody.
Speaker 9 (24:27):
Knows what are you doing so terrible?
Speaker 1 (24:31):
How is that? I get like, and she thinks and
it's one of those things where she goes skipping home thinking, Babe,
best podcast ever, can't wait wait to hear the numbers, like, yeah,
that's that's not really cool. We have kids.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
We have kids, and also don't say that that's about.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Did you did you have to have to say not
to say that again? I'm I get Monsie. Maybe I'm
more asking here, does that have to is it something
that needs to be stated? Hey, by the way, how
about we don't talk about the fact that you used
to sleep with my backup?
Speaker 2 (25:10):
Yeah, I thought that she could sit there and go like.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
No, I never said I didn't sleep with him, like
you said he was a bad boy. You said you
were at the same dorm. We've all been to college before.
You know, you didn't tutor him. Yes, had you not
thrown it yet, you could have left it up for
to be and you know a little ambiguous if you
would have just said, hey, we just went out a
(25:34):
couple of times. Once you said he was a bad boy,
he was the difference. You know, this guy's a southern gentleman.
That guy.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Oh yeah, we did some things.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Again, it's not our first time doing something like this,
saying something like a lot of.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Things are not her first time, you know, I well
white on my wedding day. Just to keep everybody happy,
That's what we did. And again, like I'm not a
super Bowl judging old guy. I understand it sucks that
women are judged. You know what they do and men do,
you know, roughly the same thing, but publicly.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Hard past kind of sounds like the plot of a
John Hughes movie, you know, like an eighties John Hughes
movie where the Molly ring Wald sleeps with the backup
with the quarterback on her sixteenth birthday and she's wearing
pink and they have detention on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Yeah, there's definitely some tension there. There's no doubt about it. None, none, none, none,
Oh yeah yo yeah yo Stug Gottlieb show here on
Fox Sports Radio. I just don't even like what is
what is dinner conversation? Like when your wife shares her
(26:52):
sexual exploits before you became husband and wife with the
entire world, including with your children. Everybody always says like,
I'm gonna be honest with my kids. Really, Oh, I
We're gonna tell my kids truth? Really, how much of
the truth are you gonna tell them? Well, I'm gonna
(27:13):
tell my I just I don't want to lie to
my kids. Okay, tell them the whole thing. Tell them
about that time in Mexico we had too much tequila, right,
tell them about that time. You remember that time, right?
Do you remember that time we were out it was late. Yeah,
you're not being you know, it's like full honesty.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
No.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
There there's something called privacy. Uh what's what's it? And look,
I struggle with this one. There's something called boundaries. I'm
not really a big boundary person, like people are, Like,
I have people, they stay at my house. I let
people into my life, you know, people in my life
at times I probably shouldn't have been like, but there
are certain boundaries my my personal text life. There's a
(27:57):
boundary there. What I hear in that, I mean, I
can just Matt Stafford has to be absolutely mortified, absolutely mortified.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
You do wonder what she's referring to when she says
that this backup was the opposite of Matt and upset him.
What what's the opposite that he?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
Who was the backup?
Speaker 4 (28:18):
By the way, Oh, we'll take a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I mean, every human being on earth this is has
googled who's heard this has been googling. You know Georgia
backup quarterback Matt Stafford. Right, let me tell you he
was a bad boy. He was a bad boy. I'm
sure that will that will come out as well. That
guy's having himself a day. That guy's sitting there going
(28:45):
like eh, top, Yeah, it was a bed boy in college.
Stuck got them show here on Fox Sports Radio. I mean,
am I am? I dead? Am? If I'm wrong, I
feel free you guys tell me I'm wrong. I just
don't think I'm wrong on this one. This one, I'm
pretty sure I'm dead to rights accurate on that?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Is?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
That is a Are you kidding me? Did you think?
At what point did you think this was a good idea? Color?
Next to The Doug Gotlieb Show Live from the tyrat
dot Com Studios, is he I? Who are we talking to?
Or who are we talking about? Find out? Next to
The Doug Gotlieb.
Speaker 6 (29:21):
Show, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Doug Gottlieb Show weekdays at three pm Eastern noon Pacific.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. This from Bleacher Report.
JJ Redick was drafted three years after Lebron James Reddick
retired in twenty twenty one and is now coaching Lebron
in his twenty second season as a player. That's an
amazing story, as we just learned that JJ Redick is
the new head coach of the LA Lakers. This is
the Doug Gottlieb Show. The Twitter handle is at Gottlieb Show.
(29:51):
The Instagram handle is the same. Am I wrong here?
On Kelli Stafford?
Speaker 2 (29:56):
Like?
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Really, you're gonna share those details on podcasts?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
It was crazy?
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It was crazy crazy. Let's get the game time.
Speaker 6 (30:11):
This is game time on the Doug Gottlieb Show.
Speaker 1 (30:21):
What do you got there?
Speaker 8 (30:24):
Well, it is Thursday, one of my new favorite games.
Speaker 9 (30:27):
Sam, what are we playing?
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Is he all right?
Speaker 9 (30:31):
Is he all right? I'm sorry? I laugh every time
I hear it. I can't, I can't.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
So I'm gonna present you with different people scenarios.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
Are you just gonna tell me exactly? Okay?
Speaker 8 (30:43):
So let's start Draft Prospect and Lebron jameson Bronnie James
according to Paul George, who we still don't know if
he's gonna stay a Clipper, that's supper conversation. He says
that a comparison to Bronnie James might be Drew Holiday,
So Doug Bronnie James.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Uh, from what perspective, From.
Speaker 9 (31:07):
The perspective of a comparison, that's remember that's the game.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Here is he I is completely up to your discretion.
There is no rule to he is he is.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
He is absolutely comparable to Drew Holiday from this standpoint.
He has family members in the NBA. He's black. He
played in the Mission League, which is a private school
league in the Valley and in Los Angeles. As a player, yeah,
he does blend in well with others as a talent.
It's laughable, laughable, laughable. Now I understand, Like, what is
(31:44):
Paul George gonna say his son thinks he can't play
sons on? Like, what is he going to say? But
he's What he's trying to say is like, look, Drew
is a guy that the statute doesn't always do him
justice for how much he affects the game. Sure, okay,
but when Briny James played quality minutes for USC, they
couldn't win. It's just facts. There's nothing else, like, I mean,
(32:08):
I just facts. He's not a bad player. Hey, he's
a good college basketball player, good college basketball prospect who
this year, would probably earn a starting spot and many
a power five. Would he absolutely start any school in
the country. No, he would not. I'm not totally convinced
he would. He would he would start for me, Yeah,
(32:30):
I mean that, I don't know for a fact that
he would start for me. He probably could compete for
minutes at but he's not really a point guard. He's
never been a point guard. Could he play point guard
for me, probably, but he wouldn't be my best player.
I can tell you that right now. I have a
guy who was in the gym with me this morning
who is a better perimeter basketball player than he is,
(32:53):
And I have other guys that are are better, more
experienced college basketball players. So I just think this whole
thing is really silly because I don't blame Bronni in
any way for the hype, like he didn't ask for
all this hype. But it's completely about his last name.
Speaker 9 (33:10):
Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 8 (33:11):
And that sucks on the heels of the Lakers hiring
JJ Reddick. So, according to College Basketball Report, they're tweeting that,
according to Shams, Reddick is interested in bringing Rajon Rondo
as an assistant coach. You know, former player retired in
twenty twenty two.
Speaker 9 (33:28):
Is Raon Rondo?
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Is he all right?
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Oh yeah, I think I think yes, I think he's
all right? Again? What is he is?
Speaker 4 (33:45):
All right?
Speaker 1 (33:46):
This is about is Rondo smart? Yes? Lebron like him? Yes,
you know. Is he gonna be front of the bench, No,
it'll be behind the bench. I don't think any I
don't think Rondo was selected by JJ Reddick though, I
think he was selected by the Lakers.
Speaker 8 (34:01):
I see, okay, all right, all right, let's move on
to the WNBA. Here, Chicago's sky rookie Angel Rees another
double double today, seventh in a row, now a new.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Rookie w NBA record.
Speaker 8 (34:14):
Doug angel Reese, is she I.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Uh, yeah, she's. She's Actually the definition of she's I
like very little. Her skill is that she plays hard
and competes.
Speaker 9 (34:28):
She does you know, yeah, but she's not.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Skilled in the classic refined kind of skill way. And
comparing her to Kaitlin Clark is like they're two completely
different players. But yeah, yeah, I mean from what she does, she's.
Speaker 9 (34:40):
Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 11 (34:41):
Let's move on to Trevor Lawrence, who was getting paid
by the Jags. But he did say that there is
no added pressure with this new contract, Doug Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Is he all right? He'll be all right forever with
that contract, But he's not I in terms of the
there's no added pressure, right, like sorry, there's no one
on earth that says now that he's making two hundred
and seventy five million dollars, right, there's absolutely out of pressure.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (35:08):
It must be nice though, to feel like there isn't
any and get that much money must be nice. All right,
let's move on to a little baseball, all right. Three
Times Signing Award winner Clayton Kershaw had his first rehab
start one run, two hit, struck out five, was reaching
ninety miles an hour, but he has not played since
November because of a shoulder injury.
Speaker 9 (35:27):
Doug Clayton Kershaw is he all right?
Speaker 1 (35:31):
M's Clayton k A right? I do not think he's
h Yeah, you know, shoulder injury.
Speaker 9 (35:41):
Shoulder, yeah, you know he's had several, you know, over
the years.
Speaker 8 (35:44):
But yeah, shoulderack back after that trip to where Australia.
Everyone claims that that's what did it remember, But yeah,
it's a shoulder injury since November.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, it's not.
Speaker 8 (35:55):
I it's not all right, all right, let's move on
to hip hop artist Kanye West. I don't know if
you've seen videos. He has been at an event in
Paris this week with his wife. I think it's his wife.
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Oh, it's his wife.
Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yes, I agree with that research on his wife last night.
I just had to spend some time.
Speaker 9 (36:20):
With that video.
Speaker 8 (36:21):
Like he looks ridiculous. I'm not entirely sure what he's wearing.
He looks like he's wrapped up and I don't even know,
like this white get up not cute.
Speaker 9 (36:30):
She looks very good. I don't know who she is,
but we're not talking about her.
Speaker 5 (36:33):
We're talking about I will say this, it's hard to
not it's hard to see anything in the video except
for her, except for if you're a warm blooded male.
Speaker 9 (36:43):
You don't have to be just a warm blooded male.
Speaker 2 (36:45):
Try't.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Once you once your eyes wander upon the person she's with,
you're like, what the hell is he wearing?
Speaker 1 (36:50):
What is he?
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Right?
Speaker 8 (36:51):
It's like he's he literally is wearing like a like
a suit.
Speaker 9 (36:55):
That's like wrapped him around like a magician.
