He talks about the Cowboys failing to have players at the top of the NFLPA’s merchandise sales and why this is a reflection of Dallas failing to seriously compete in the postseason for years.

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
World Cup starts tomorrow officially NBA Finals two to one,
Nix lead Rezoom tonight. Welcome in live from Chicago. It's
the Herd. So The New York Post through the years
has been known for very funny headline and some over
(00:50):
the top, some feel a little inappropriate. So the Knicks
right now are the talk of the town.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
And they got pushed.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Around by Wemby and others in Game three where tickets
were going for twelve fifteen thousand dollars. And the New
York Post has a headline today it's like a wanted
poster of Wemby.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
On the front.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It says alias Wemby, nationality, French flagrant fouls. The charge
even soft on crime, Da Bragg would find him guilty.
The New York Post a national treasure. You don't think
of stoic Kareem Abdul Jabbar as violent. You don't think
(01:34):
of Jokic, you can't wait to get back to his.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Homeland is violent.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Let me show you some video through the years of
Kareem Abdul Jabbar punching Kent Benson in the face. The
year was nineteen seventy seven. Here comes Kareem after a
cheap shot and this pretty much ended Kent Benson's career.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you kids had seen that Shaq getting angry, which
he occasionally did in swatting a player. Oh, I've got
some Yokich video from twenty twenty one, one of the
Morris brothers and again stoic guy most of the time.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, why would that happen?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Why would people poke the biggest, strongest guys on the
court in the ribs Because a big man his job
is to establish what they call position on the block
and the rival's job. Often with the all time great
big men, they need two men and they gets ugly
(02:35):
and combative to fight him for that position. Guards aren't
necessarily fighting for a position forwards, aren't. This is a
nightly truism for Wemby, who has been fouled thirty more
times than any player in the playoffs. Big men historically
get shoved and they absorb physical contact. It's an eighty
(02:56):
two game schedule, and then the NBA does something which
actually helps ratings. But they allow more physicality in the postseason,
especially the finals and the conference finals. They ratchet it up.
Even the other night, when Brunson hit Wemby. Look to
your left, what's happening as Carl Anthony Towns is being
(03:17):
thrown around a battle royale. This is the life of
a big man. Minnesota, Oklahoma City chipped Wemby, shoved Wemby,
hanging off Wemby, Wemby against these guys, I mean cat yesterday,
two days ago, bear hugging him. So yes, occasionally big
men retaliate.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
They do.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's like lions, kings of the jungle. You ever go
to we even a zoo. They're very stoic. They sleep
twenty three to twenty four hours a day, and when
they're awake, they eat, and they're very stoic. And it's
interesting sometimes what bothers them, What irritates the lion. It'll
be a little bird and the lion will just swat it.
(04:01):
Wemby was the lion Jalen Brunson was the little bird,
and he just got frustrated, and usually stoic Wemby swatted him.
This is the reality of being a big man. Since
nineteen seventy two, I've been watching the NBA, Dave Cowens
would occasionally. You know, as a six' eight center and undersized,
(04:23):
center you have to create a code of, tolerance a
code of. Conduct And wemby is, saying you can start it,
all finish. It but when your job is to gain
position on the low block and you're an all time,
great A, jokich A Moses, malone A, shack A, wemby
(04:45):
and they're sending multiple large professional athletes in your, direction
and THE nba then, says we're going to be even
more tolerant a physical. Play who takes the run of,
That Not, brunson It's. Wemby go look at How minnesota defended,
him how The thunder defended. Him and by the, way
some bigs aren't ready for. It Chet holgren is not
(05:06):
quite consistently ready for. It jannis initially wasn't quite ready for.
It and Actually wemby's done better THAN i thought considering his.
Frame So i'm okay with. It it's a code of.
Conduct bigs have to establish. It sometimes it gets. Ugly
The New York post front back page is. Funny but
(05:28):
here Is wemby on what he's learned this postseason.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
And what we've. LEARNED i mean many, things or displayoffs many.
Things brace with your hands and not wear your chin
head below the head if you, do and many other.
(05:55):
Things but most Of burnley be.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Relentless it should also be dually noted When Tony kukoach
came over From, europe the reputation Of european players was
a little, soft and that stigma isn't true, anymore but
it was out there for a long. Time And american,
players domestic players will Test european players often more than our.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Guys they'll test.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Them And european players coming to foreign soil come to this,
country And i'm going to give him a little bit
of a break. Here they really want to establish who they,
are AND i Mean jokic brings his brothers to the
arena like they ratcheted. Up so you also have the
(06:45):
reality That wenby's. Young he's twenty two years, old and
there's a lot of thirty one year olds in the.
League so he's, international he's. Young he's getting all this.
Attention he's Getting otani, attention and THE nba and the,
Veterans Julius randall here and og, there A Mitchell robinson.
There they're testing him and he is passing that test
(07:07):
with flying culders and occasionally the lion swatting the annoying.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Bird so The World cup starts. TOMORROW i can't wait
yesterday or the day. Before not.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Sure Landon donovan very publicly Criticized american. Soccer he, said
it's a money. Grab it's not about really developing younger.
Players and, listen this is the home of the greatest
capitalism in the, earth and that's often. True that's one
of the Complaints i've had WITH au. Basketball it's all
about everybody getting, Paid Tracksuit tony getting, paid not developing
(07:43):
our basketball. Players that's why many of the great stars
now are international and Not. American they're not domestic because
our feeder system is. Broken but even if soccer got everything,
right our academies were. Gray THE mls was. Popular instead
of being On APPLE tv where you lose all your
(08:04):
casual viewers got to pay to WATCH.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
MLS i don't like, that but even if they got
it all.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Right they're one of five popular domestic, leagues and we
have a massive college sports system that you, know other
countries don't. Have we have always watched The World, cup
and we've always loved, it men's and, women's and we've
always embraced. It the numbers have always been, strong just
like The. Olympics we don't love curling or downhill skiing,
(08:31):
necessarily but we watch. It you wrap a flag around
hockey and Four nations or The, olympics or soccer or The,
olympics we'll start watching stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
We don't normally.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
WATCH i, mean last night eighty eight thousand people showed
up In alabama to WATCH messi that's who we. Are
but every time we talk about A World cup On american,
soil here's WHAT i.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Hear this is an.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Opportunity to grow the. GAME i don't see it as.
THAT i see it as four to five weeks of, fanaticism, patriotism,
globalism a, great great four to five week, party and
then we will go on with our. Lives and that
(09:17):
is absolutely not that is absolutely. Okay that is not a.
Failure that is not a. FAILURE i don't think This
World cup is about growing the. Game if that, happens,
Fine i've heard that so many. TIMES i don't think
that's what it's about when you go on. VACATION i
(09:37):
just was lucky enough to be with my son In.
MADRID i had a, blast and THEN i wanted to come.
Home and that didn't Mean spain wasn't, amazing, Right it
was just an incredible. Time and The World cup is
an every four year break from our at times tedious
(10:00):
and monotonous sports. Catalog if you have so much fun watching,
it we can win a knockout stage game or two
and then you're, like all, right see in four. YEARS
i just don't see that as a. FAILURE i try
to go to you, know my mom Is. BRITISH i
try to go To europe with my, son with my,
(10:20):
kids with my wife every single, summer sometimes, twice and
then WHEN i, LEAVE i have great.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
MEMORIES i don't want to live.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
There that doesn't MEAN i Like spain less just BECAUSE
i don't want to live. There and it doesn't mean
you don't love The World cup in soccer and our
men and women because you still like football.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
More that's.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
OKAY i don't think the responsibility of The World cup
is to grow the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Game right, now THE mls you have to pay to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It it's not On, FOX espnnbc got pay to watch.
IT i didn't like that move by the. COMMISSIONER i still.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Don't there's no.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Casuals let's just have a five week celebration, globalism, patriotism,
fanaticism and we're. GOOD i, mean people are showing. Up
the tickets feel Like New York Nick's Madison Square garden.
Prices John, strong. Yestermam the practice vibes down In Orange.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
County the stadium here In Orange county seats about fifty
five hundred, people and from what we were, told they
were about thirty thousand applicants to get a ticket to
sit into the public practice, session and that seemed to
REALLY i think, that combined with the great crowds In
charlotte And, CHICAGO i think that really started to hit.
Home what we've seen in the last ten days has
(11:42):
been really helpful to get these guys to understand what
this is and this is.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Real, yeah it's very.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Real we're very, interested almost fanatical and. Patriotism wrapping a
flag around sports that we don't normally love is just.
Okay but let's not create this. Well if it doesn't grow.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
The, sport it's a.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Failure it's a five week, party it's a five week.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Subscribe SO i saw this this. Morning the twelve leading
jersey sellers in THE. Nfl Josh allen number, one Sayque On,
Barkley Jaden, Daniels Jalen, Hurts Jordan love Bo nick's higher
THAN i would have, Guessed Drake, MAY Jsn, Mahomes Caleb,
(13:09):
Williams Micah christian, McCaffrey most of them. Predictable THE nfl
has clearly evolved over the last ten. Years not a
Single Dallas cowboy in fact in the top. Fifty there's,
One Ceedee lamb twenty. First No cowboys in the top.
Twenty Brock purty seventh, rounder little quarterback sometimes gets, hurt
(13:35):
higher than any.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Cowboy C.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
J stroud from the little brother of The Houston, texans
higher than any. Cowboy Dak prescott's not in the top.
Fifty and you can, say, WELL i mean everybody's got his.
Jersey brady was in the top twenty to the very
end of his career In New. England And, TAMPA i MEAN.
Tj watson in the league a decade he was top.
(13:56):
Fifty dak wasn't. There there's a guy in the that's
not even in the league, anymore or Currently Tyreek hill
made the, List dak didn't top. Fifty so winning, matters
and The cowboys don't win big games because.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They don't play in them.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Anymore and there's only one sports franchise in my life
where winning didn't really affect the, brand Even Notre Dame
football during The Charlie weiss or The lean, Years Bob davey,
Years Ty wellingham years was just not a. Thing didn't
move a. Number The cubs are the only brand built
on and you, know let's be, Honest Terry carey built the.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Brand day games have a.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Bud it's kind of almost a party brand as much
as a baseball. Brand now With Tom rickett's, ownership it's.
Different but what's interesting about The Cowboys it doesn't make any.
Sense why are they not winning? Games they draft. Well
cowboys don't draft. Poorly they almost never miss on their top.
Picks they're actually very very, good way better than The
(14:54):
New England patriots In belichick during their run with their top.
Picks it's very business and player. Friendly no state tax
right in the middle of the. Country you, know you
don't have a lot of six hour flights unless you're
playing In, europe which The cowboys barely have to or
rarely have.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
To so why wouldn't they be?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Better because The cowboys do Something and this happens sometimes
AND i can never figure it. Out every smart guy's
got a. Hole every great athlete has a hole in their. Game,
now When Barry bonds was on cattle, steroids his hole
at the plate was about the size of a pingpong.
Ball but every great hitter has a place you can pitch.
(15:31):
Him every great coach has a weakness or a, liability
And Jerry jones has. One there's three things in life
you should never go cheap on, transportation toilet, paper and
head coaches in THE, Nfl And jerry goes cheap on
the last. One he hires guys that nobody else is
(15:54):
looking to have a head coaching job TO i Like Jason,
garrett nobody else was hiring.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Him mike mcca arthy was on the.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Bench Brian schottenneimer wasn't even interviewing for offensive coordinator. Jobs
Chan gaily nice guy was there a feeding. Frenzy it's
always been remarkable to. ME i recently had dinner with
somebody who worked in The cowboys front, office worked in
relationship with, him really liked, it really respected. Them and
(16:22):
that person said to, me the only rule is never
take credit for. Anything jerry gets all that he. GOES
i loved working with, THEM i loved. Them wasn't A cowboy,
fan worked other, places but, said you, know you just
you don't take. Credit That's jerry's. Thing AND i think
that's the reason why That Alice cowboys don't win big
games because they don't play. Them they've had two great,
(16:43):
Coaches parcels And Jimmy, johnson and both are Like seacrest.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Out so it is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Fascinating you see it from time to, time really really,
smart successful people that have a hole in their. Game
and That's Jerry's he goes cheap on one of the
three things in. Life you just shouldn't go cheap on toilet,
paper transportation and head coaches in THE.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
NFL J mack with the.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
News, no, no turn on the.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
News this is The Herdline.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
NEWS i never ever go cheap on toilet paper When

the coach some question, marks but it's pretty awesome That
ronaldo is still, dominating and we are gonna we're gonna
have the commercial here for you right. Now thinking is that.
Speaker 9 (17:56):

mean he's still.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You know, what and you don't have to be as
great when you're. Older the reality can you be great in?
Spurts you know, again if you had three great goals
From rinaldo in The World, cup that would absolutely be.
Fun we all know he's not in his prime Right
and it's just, LIKE i, mean the great thing about
LIKE i remember The Oral hersheiser once was talking about
pitching and he was, like at the very end of my,
(18:44):
CAREER i didn't quite have the, velocity BUT i was
so much smarter on the, mound AND i knew how to,
pitch not just, PITCH i knew how. DO i think
it Was oral who talked about that one time or
more than. Once AND i think when you get these
great stars is there they don't quite have the endurance
or their. Relentlessness but, man they can pick their spots
and they're just, frankly they're smarter than other players on the.
(19:06):
Pitch they're just simpery have the, angles.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Preserve.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
ENERGY i Mean lebron does. THIS i Mean lebron will
pick his spots and for six minutes in ANY nba,
game it's the best player on the. Floor and even
if all starts from other teams are on the, Floor
lebron is really good at picking his spots.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Now and he's seen every, defense every, permutation every route
To he's seen everything because he's been in the league.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Forever just an awesome. Marvel AND i don't. KNOW i
Think portugal is Going final.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
FOUR i won't pick them to win, it but we'll
be doing plenty Of portugal throughout The World. Cup, well
let's move to THE nfl And Fernando, mendoza who IS
i think should be the starter?
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Currently colin believe.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
This he's working Behind Kirk cousins and Aoc aidan. O'Connell,
yes that's. Real Fernando mendez a big basically working with
the third team right, now paying his dues and learning the.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
ROPES i don't love that at.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
All but Here's mendoza talking about his development with the.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Squad there's always a, transition especially from the college level
to THE nfl, level and it's having those positive stressors
and that growing, period and there's going to be some growing.
Pains and, LUCKILY i feel confident That i'm able to
see the field well and that my growing pains are coming. From,
HEY i got to time up my footwork a little
better with the routes and intricacies here and. There And
(20:28):
i'm really working hard with the coaching staff who's pushing
me AND i have done a phenomenal job of relaying
and communicating the information needed and it's up to me
to take full advantage of.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
That always says the right.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thing that is a thirty percent of being a quarterback
is not starting. Fires always saying the right thing at the,
podium to the, media to your, teammates do your. Coaches
he always says the right. Stuff sharp. Kid i'm really
can't good to watch him. Play, YEAH i can't.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Wait i'm a little surprised he didn't make that Top jersey.
List no, Surprise Sam darnald didn't make, it But i'm
Surprised mendoza number one overall.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Pick donald was only forty ninth out of. Fifty isn't that?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Crazy what do you think that tells? You, Huh i'd say.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Anything, WELL i think The seahawks were known for running
the football and defense and their fan. Base and you,
Know donald had just gotten. There so he hasn't built much.
Up you, know he hasn't built much. Up he hasn't
played college in a long. Time he was invisible for.
Years he was at The Jets carolina and backed up
In San. Francisco So sam's only already been in the
forefront for two. Years he disappeared for about five years
(21:34):
FROM Usc Rose bowl Beating Penn state Beating. Texas we're
all you, KNOW i remember those. Calls you go to,
YouTube you're like, wow and he kind of disappeared into
THE nfl abyss for about five.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Years, Yeah Menoz Mendoza jersey will certainly. Pop he's not
going to Pass Super BOWL Mvp Jalen hurts in the top,
ten But mendoza will be. Ill sniff. It let's go
to the final. Story, colin that's a New England patriots
And Mike. Rabel oh, yes he's so excited to have
age J brown in the. BUILDING i, mean the guy's
barely been. There he's been there for ten. Days but
they know each other dating back To. Tennessee, rabel you,

boy this feels like he's super excited about.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
It and here Is rabel talking ABOUT Aj.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Brown the weekend probably served him well to be able
to take a deep breath and and get some. Rest i'm,
sir sure it was a bit of whirlwind for, him
but you, know he's excited about learning the system and you,
know eventually moving around and doing different things and, no
but you, KNOW i think it's it's been great just
(22:38):

himself into our football.

grew after. It this year started with a betting, scandal
(25:39):
and THE Nba finals ratings are the highest in.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Forever look it, up saw.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Story last week college basketball overcame The boston college point shaving.
Scandal SO i care about. IT i think it's. Bad
i'm not a. Fatalist you know it's not going. Away
college football and football in jail guneral great on, television
play once a, week and we bet on. It betting
(26:06):
is actually one of the things that will save football from.
Controversies and IF i would have said to you before
the college football season, STARTED i would have said to, You,
okay give you a hundred. Bucks predict the big scandal
we're going to.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Have in college sports this.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Year you would have guessed probably some kid gets caught betting.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
GAMES i mean.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That you would have guessed. That so this was coming
from a mile. Away young men on their, phones gambling ads, everywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right Like it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Being outraged when you know somebody gets an UNFORTUNATE. Dui,
yes we ply people with. Alcohol there's ads. Everywhere bars
often close at two in the. Morning, people it's. Addictive,
yes you're gonna Get nowise have come down thanks to
Way mow and thanks To lyft and thanks To Uber,
(27:05):
societally those transportation mechanisms have been actually saved a lot of.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Lives AND i don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Good BUT i don't believe it's the end of college.
FOOTBALL i think this was incredibly. Predictable and The pac
twelve athletic directors everybody took a deep breath they met.
Yesterday it was. APPARENTLY i read the story this. Morning
it was very. Productive but this whole thing About Texas,
Tech nobody's gonna play, them and this is going to
(27:32):
ruin the. Sport it'll never be the. Same, yeah WILL
i bet You by the end of the, year ratings
are up this year from last.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
YEAR i.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Don't have to put a bumper sticker on my car
that my kid made The Honor roll to tell. YOU
i love my kid And i'm proud of AND i
don't have to think this is the worst thing ever
to Think it's not, great but college football will. Survive
and this was kind of Predictable Joel clatt this. Week
you know some people see it as you, Know i'm
(28:07):
not a college football. ANNOUNCER i just love the sport On.
SATURDAY i watch as Much saturday As sunday football most.
Years Here's Joel.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
Clatt Brenan soresby being ruled eligible to play next, fall
and college football is devastating to the.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Sport it just, is and in particular.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
THE ncaaa and now THE, ncaaa they have no ability
to enforce any rule. Whatsoever if you can't enforce this
rule as an organization with member, institutions then what rule
can you? ENFORCE i mean the guy bet thousands of
times thousands of, dollars like what are we?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Doing, Okay So joel's take is THE NC doublea could
no longer enforce. Law they haven't been able to in a.
Decade they don't win any. Lawsuits they're toothless they have
been for a. DECADE nc DOUBLE a. IS i, mean
even when THE nc DOUBLE a would come down with a,
hammer it was usually because the media broke a story
(29:02):
and then you know they were, like what do they
call them ambulance chasers the personal personal injury. Attorney they
would chase them around town and follow the. Ambulance THE
NC doublea has been toothless. Forever that's not a. SURPRISE
a kid got into a gambling, scandal that's not a.
Surprise this was a predictable misstep that you could see
(29:24):
coming from a mile.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Away and.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
People are, discussing people are. TALKING i do think there's
a chance it'll go to The Texas Supreme, court AND
ncublea is already appealing. It now people say THE nc
DOUBLE a is not very. Optimistic, again IT'S i think
most remember not everybody In texas is A texas tech.
Fan for the goodness of the. SPORT i think reasonable
(29:50):
people will come to the conclusion that a two game
suspension is probably a little, light probably a little, light all,
right J. Mc you know there's certain people that feel
sorry FOR i don't necessarily feel sorry for BAD nfl.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Teams here's another. Reminder next it's The.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Hurd be sure to catch live editions Of The herd
weekdays and noon easternn a Em pacific one.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Day in, counting the Biggest World cup ever comes To.
America Christian polisic and THE us men's national team kick
off Their World cup dream on a Huge friday night of,
music stars and celebration In Los. Angeles coverage begins at
six Pm, eastern with the match at nine Pm eastern On.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Fox so THE nfl, regularly annually every year gives really
average to crappy teams opportunities to get better very, quickly
and it's always been remarkable to me how few take
(30:59):
it manage of it. Right we know even the best
general managers don't ace the. Draft you can't depend on
getting better through the, draft even if you have ten
or eleven. Picks this, year The dolphins had a bunch of.
Picks it wasn't a particularly strong. Draft they probably got
four good starters out of, it four, backups and two
(31:20):
or three guys that'll wash, out and that would not
be a bad.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Draft But i'll give you an.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Example miami went out and Got Malik, willis And i'll
get to that in a, second but my initial point
Is Sam darnald was available the last two years to
the whole. League The vikings And seahawks the only two
teams that aggressively Pursued Sam. Darnald how is that. Possible
(31:49):
in the last four, years he is thirty five and.
Ten that's better Than Patrick. Mahomes in, fact it leads the.
League he's big, athletic a big. Arm in the last four,
years he's completed sixty five percent of his, throws has
a passer rating just shy of one hundred seventy four,
touchdowns thirty. Picks coachable everybody likes. Him Sam darnold doesn't
(32:12):
have an enemy in the. League coachable took a reasonable
salary available to the Sport. Seahawks vikings went all. IN
i mean they didn't even go all. In they went
like mostly in because they didn't give him much. Money
Tom brady was forty one years, old forty two and
(32:33):
was available to the. League two teams two The, chargers
And tom didn't want to play on the left.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Coast he.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Didn't Chargers buccaneers went hard after, him super aggressive offers
For Tom, Brady, well he was. Old did you ever
see what his numbers ended up being with two different
coaches In tampa one hundred and eight, touchdowns sixty seven
percent completion, percentage and a ninety eight passer, rating and
(33:05):
he won A Super.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Bowl two teams went After.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Donald two teams went After, brady and you, say, well
what does that have to do With Malik. Willis, yes
he was bad as a rookie From liberty with the Awful.
Titans he wasn't, great by the, Way Caleb williams wasn't
(33:29):
great with The bears with much better players around. Him
but in the two, years the last two years with The,
packers when he started three, times he was not only,
good he was. Sensational he had the best completion percentage
in the league seventy nine. Percent he was the best
(33:49):
yards per attempt quarterback in the league sixty D's No
Picks passer rating one thirty. TWO i don't think Any
packer fan would deny What i'm about to. Say he
looked as good or better Than Jordan love same, coach same,
assistant same.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Player well it was only three.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Starts let me ask, you in the entertainment, business how
many notes do you have to hear on the voice
before you know a hack from somebody? Gifted how many
jokes do you need to hear from a stand up
comedian that you, Know, Oh Bill burr's really funny and
this guy. Isn't folks in the entertainment. Industry this isn't.
Accounting it doesn't take long to see talent in, sports hyper,
(34:31):
athletic super, ACCURATE a wonderful kid who everybody. Loved Jordan
love is there to celebrate when he came off the
field In Green, bay available to the league for a,
song and The dolphins were one of one or two
teams that made a run at. Him, NOW i don't
(34:52):
think his numbers will be as good In miami easily
the worst roster in the. LEAGUE i, mean they've got
a really good running, Back Leak willis in a lot of.
Nonsense darnald two teams went after, Him, brady two teams
went after. Him Malik, willis two teams went after. HIM
(35:12):
i have no. SYMPATHY nba is. DIFFERENT i have sympathy
for bad. Teams in THE nba only two rounds of the.
Draft the kids come in very, young and THE nba
limits the trades you can. Make same In Major League,
baseball even a great player Like Bryce, harper he's going to.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The minor leagues for.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Years you can have a great, PITCHER i mean their
arms fall Off Tommy john for half the pitchers in
the sport over their. Career but in football there's no.
Excuse there's literally no. Excuse brady, Available Malik willis, Available darnald,
available and before you, go you don't know If Malik
willis is any? Good, YEAH i, Do i've seen. Him
(35:53):
it's entertainment singing. Music Quincy jones can listen to two
songs and he knows you're not it or you're. It
go watch a documentary On Quincy jones when it comes to.
Music when it comes to, sports you could walk. In
you can walk into an au basketball gym any of
you and within five minutes you would pick out the
(36:16):
best or top three players at a ten teams. Plan
you'd look around and, Go i'll take those three years
the three best, player and you'd probably be. Right talent
is not hard to spot in the entertainment. Industry Whitney
houston doesn't have to sing six or seven. Songs the
Late Whitney. Houston that sounded. Different ricky's your bass on.
(36:40):
Stage Dave, chappelle that's just funnier than the average. Guy
go to the Laugh factory and then go listen To Dave.
Chappelle doesn't take a lot of jokes to figure out
he's a little. Funnier So Jeff, hafley who was With
willis In Green, bay, says this kid's different, Now he's
even he is a different player now In, miami.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
They've taken more command of the, huddle they've taken more
command when they're out there with the wide.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Outs.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Confidence i've seen the confidence. Grow and you, know even
the CONVERSATION i have with the league today walking down the,
hallway you can just, see you, know he's more comfortable
and he understands the answers that are being provided for
him on each. Play AND i JUST i think he
looks as good as he's looks Since i've known.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Him, yeah And Jeff hafley faced him every day at
practice for two.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Years SO i, mean just figure this part.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Out what does it tell you That Jeff hafley faced
him every day at practice for two years and it
was the first guy who wanted to.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Sign it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Indication Jeff affley's, like forget the, draft let's go get the.
Kid so it's just AGAIN i, FEEL i, mean The
spurs a great, organization missed the playoffs six straight. Years
it's hard in THE. Nba it's really. Hard and if
it wasn't, forgetting you, Know lucky pingpong ball And. Weimby
they would just be a it's another. Team so it is.
(38:02):
Hard in THE, NBA i can feel sympathy for The Chris.
Finch he's, close he's, close he's getting, There he's. Close
Then wemby appears and you're, like all, RIGHT i guess
we won't win a.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Title that's not THE.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Nfl just don't go cheap on coaches like The cowboys or,
historically you know The bears have gun cheap on. Coaches
chargers didn't Till Jim. Harriball don't go cheap on. Coaches
it's not that. Hard Darnold Brady malik willis there to the.
Market i'll say, this you don't have to Love Kyler
murray's a number one pick and Took arizona to the
playoffs in the toughest division arguably during his tenure in the.
(38:33):
League McVeigh shanahan, like pretty good. Division, Okay so so
It's game four tonight In New. YORK i Think New
york's favored by about two two and a half.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
POINTS J MACK i kind of Like New.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
York BUT i will say, this the one thing that,
like for, INSTANCE i Think Karl Anthony towns will have
the ball in his hands more tonight BECAUSE i Think Mike,
brown instead of blaming the, officials went back and looked
at the film And mike, went, Oh cat reverted To
cat last year And cat against The hawks, early which
(39:11):
is one, assist kind of waiting, around not truly. Engaged
they're going to get the ball To cat way more.
Tonight that's my. Prediction, cat who played very poorly In game,
three will play very well. Tonight he will not have one. Assist,
well he'll go back to six or seven.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
Assists SO i think he can't play PART I, no,
YEAH i mean he hasn't scored in the fourth quarter
in three. Games, no that's not. It so he'll play much.
Better he'll we think he. WILL i think this is
kind of a simple. Handicap but Like Wembin, yama with
two days, off was the best player on the. Court
he played the most minutes of anyone in the game
and had his most dominant. Game now he only gets
one day, off and if you saw him at the podium,
(39:46):
YESTERDAY i didn't see that. Energy and they said, like,
oh we're not going to do a. Practice you, know
guys are.
Speaker 9 (39:51):
Tired.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Colin this is where it gets. Weird SO i think
The knicks win, tonight, right but there's two days off
between every game the rest of the. Series that, is
so you'll get A Max Wemby And i'm, LIKE i
think this is still going to go seven even when
the next win.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Tonight, YEAH i you, know it's it's easy for us
to downplay What wemby has, done but he's led THE
nba in. Blocks look at these numbers in each of
his first three. Seasons youngest player with forty points and
twenty rebounds in a playoff game, ever first Unanimous Defensive
player of The year. Ever he's the only player ever
(40:26):
with thirty five, points ten, boards five, says five, blocks
and five threes in a. GAME i would say to this,
point he's almost. OVERACHIEVED i, mean, honestly IF i always
said that About, lebron well he's not winning. Titles lebron
was better THAN i thought he would.
Speaker 9 (40:41):
Be, YEAH i.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
MEAN i didn't know What Michael jordan would, be but
he was. OBVIOUS i watched them all through. College WHAT i, mean,
LIKE i think you made the. Point it Took jordan
like six or seven years to get to the.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Finals wembley is.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Down wemby is better THAN i, Thought Like Tiger, WOODS
i mean that's all people talked about for. Years actually
he was better THAN i thought he would. Be and
and PEOPLE i knew in golf because remember With, nike
he was connected To nike In beavert In oregon. Forever
SO i was talking to people At nike and they're, Like,
oh he's going to be, unbelievable And i'm, like he's.
(41:15):
Not wait time, Out he's not gonna be. This he's
not winning THE Us open by how many? Strokes SO
i Think wemby's actually better THAN i.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Thought how about, This, Colin what If wemby wins THE
nba finals And france wins The World?
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Cup you would hate, that, Right you're not A france.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Guy, OH i wouldn't hate that

You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
World Cup starts tomorrow officially NBA Finals two to one,
Nix lead Rezoom tonight. Welcome in live from Chicago. It's
the Herd. So The New York Post through the years
has been known for very funny headline and some over
(00:50):
the top, some feel a little inappropriate. So the Knicks
right now are the talk of the town.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
And they got pushed.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Around by Wemby and others in Game three where tickets
were going for twelve fifteen thousand dollars. And the New
York Post has a headline today it's like a wanted
poster of Wemby.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
On the front.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
It says alias Wemby, nationality, French flagrant fouls. The charge
even soft on crime, Da Bragg would find him guilty.
The New York Post a national treasure. You don't think
of stoic Kareem Abdul Jabbar as violent. You don't think
(01:34):
of Jokic, you can't wait to get back to his.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Homeland is violent.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Let me show you some video through the years of
Kareem Abdul Jabbar punching Kent Benson in the face. The
year was nineteen seventy seven. Here comes Kareem after a
cheap shot and this pretty much ended Kent Benson's career.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
If you kids had seen that Shaq getting angry, which
he occasionally did in swatting a player. Oh, I've got
some Yokich video from twenty twenty one, one of the
Morris brothers and again stoic guy most of the time.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yeah, why would that happen?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Why would people poke the biggest, strongest guys on the
court in the ribs Because a big man his job
is to establish what they call position on the block
and the rival's job. Often with the all time great
big men, they need two men and they gets ugly
(02:35):
and combative to fight him for that position. Guards aren't
necessarily fighting for a position forwards, aren't. This is a
nightly truism for Wemby, who has been fouled thirty more
times than any player in the playoffs. Big men historically
get shoved and they absorb physical contact. It's an eighty
(02:56):
two game schedule, and then the NBA does something which
actually helps ratings. But they allow more physicality in the postseason,
especially the finals and the conference finals. They ratchet it up.
Even the other night, when Brunson hit Wemby. Look to
your left, what's happening as Carl Anthony Towns is being
(03:17):
thrown around a battle royale. This is the life of
a big man. Minnesota, Oklahoma City chipped Wemby, shoved Wemby,
hanging off Wemby, Wemby against these guys, I mean cat yesterday,
two days ago, bear hugging him. So yes, occasionally big
men retaliate.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
They do.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It's like lions, kings of the jungle. You ever go
to we even a zoo. They're very stoic. They sleep
twenty three to twenty four hours a day, and when
they're awake, they eat, and they're very stoic. And it's
interesting sometimes what bothers them, What irritates the lion. It'll
be a little bird and the lion will just swat it.
(04:01):
Wemby was the lion Jalen Brunson was the little bird,
and he just got frustrated, and usually stoic Wemby swatted him.
This is the reality of being a big man. Since
nineteen seventy two, I've been watching the NBA, Dave Cowens
would occasionally. You know, as a six' eight center and undersized,
(04:23):
center you have to create a code of, tolerance a
code of. Conduct And wemby is, saying you can start it,
all finish. It but when your job is to gain
position on the low block and you're an all time,
great A, jokich A Moses, malone A, shack A, wemby
(04:45):
and they're sending multiple large professional athletes in your, direction
and THE nba then, says we're going to be even
more tolerant a physical. Play who takes the run of,
That Not, brunson It's. Wemby go look at How minnesota defended,
him how The thunder defended. Him and by the, way
some bigs aren't ready for. It Chet holgren is not
(05:06):
quite consistently ready for. It jannis initially wasn't quite ready for.
It and Actually wemby's done better THAN i thought considering his.
Frame So i'm okay with. It it's a code of.
Conduct bigs have to establish. It sometimes it gets. Ugly
The New York post front back page is. Funny but
(05:28):
here Is wemby on what he's learned this postseason.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
And what we've. LEARNED i mean many, things or displayoffs many.
Things brace with your hands and not wear your chin
head below the head if you, do and many other.
(05:55):
Things but most Of burnley be.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Relentless it should also be dually noted When Tony kukoach
came over From, europe the reputation Of european players was
a little, soft and that stigma isn't true, anymore but
it was out there for a long. Time And american,
players domestic players will Test european players often more than our.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Guys they'll test.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Them And european players coming to foreign soil come to this,
country And i'm going to give him a little bit
of a break. Here they really want to establish who they,
are AND i Mean jokic brings his brothers to the
arena like they ratcheted. Up so you also have the
(06:45):
reality That wenby's. Young he's twenty two years, old and
there's a lot of thirty one year olds in the.
League so he's, international he's. Young he's getting all this.
Attention he's Getting otani, attention and THE nba and the,
Veterans Julius randall here and og, there A Mitchell robinson.
There they're testing him and he is passing that test
(07:07):
with flying culders and occasionally the lion swatting the annoying.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Bird so The World cup starts. TOMORROW i can't wait
yesterday or the day. Before not.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Sure Landon donovan very publicly Criticized american. Soccer he, said
it's a money. Grab it's not about really developing younger.
Players and, listen this is the home of the greatest
capitalism in the, earth and that's often. True that's one
of the Complaints i've had WITH au. Basketball it's all
about everybody getting, Paid Tracksuit tony getting, paid not developing
(07:43):
our basketball. Players that's why many of the great stars
now are international and Not. American they're not domestic because
our feeder system is. Broken but even if soccer got everything,
right our academies were. Gray THE mls was. Popular instead
of being On APPLE tv where you lose all your
(08:04):
casual viewers got to pay to WATCH.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
MLS i don't like, that but even if they got
it all.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Right they're one of five popular domestic, leagues and we
have a massive college sports system that you, know other
countries don't. Have we have always watched The World, cup
and we've always loved, it men's and, women's and we've
always embraced. It the numbers have always been, strong just
like The. Olympics we don't love curling or downhill skiing,
(08:31):
necessarily but we watch. It you wrap a flag around
hockey and Four nations or The, olympics or soccer or The,
olympics we'll start watching stuff.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
We don't normally.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
WATCH i, mean last night eighty eight thousand people showed
up In alabama to WATCH messi that's who we. Are
but every time we talk about A World cup On american,
soil here's WHAT i.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Hear this is an.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Opportunity to grow the. GAME i don't see it as.
THAT i see it as four to five weeks of, fanaticism, patriotism,
globalism a, great great four to five week, party and
then we will go on with our. Lives and that
(09:17):
is absolutely not that is absolutely. Okay that is not a.
Failure that is not a. FAILURE i don't think This
World cup is about growing the. Game if that, happens,
Fine i've heard that so many. TIMES i don't think
that's what it's about when you go on. VACATION i
(09:37):
just was lucky enough to be with my son In.
MADRID i had a, blast and THEN i wanted to come.
Home and that didn't Mean spain wasn't, amazing, Right it
was just an incredible. Time and The World cup is
an every four year break from our at times tedious
(10:00):
and monotonous sports. Catalog if you have so much fun watching,
it we can win a knockout stage game or two
and then you're, like all, right see in four. YEARS
i just don't see that as a. FAILURE i try
to go to you, know my mom Is. BRITISH i
try to go To europe with my, son with my,
(10:20):
kids with my wife every single, summer sometimes, twice and
then WHEN i, LEAVE i have great.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
MEMORIES i don't want to live.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
There that doesn't MEAN i Like spain less just BECAUSE
i don't want to live. There and it doesn't mean
you don't love The World cup in soccer and our
men and women because you still like football.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
More that's.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
OKAY i don't think the responsibility of The World cup
is to grow the.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Game right, now THE mls you have to pay to watch.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
It it's not On, FOX espnnbc got pay to watch.
IT i didn't like that move by the. COMMISSIONER i still.
Speaker 3 (10:59):
Don't there's no.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Casuals let's just have a five week celebration, globalism, patriotism,
fanaticism and we're. GOOD i, mean people are showing. Up
the tickets feel Like New York Nick's Madison Square garden.
Prices John, strong. Yestermam the practice vibes down In Orange.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
County the stadium here In Orange county seats about fifty
five hundred, people and from what we were, told they
were about thirty thousand applicants to get a ticket to
sit into the public practice, session and that seemed to
REALLY i think, that combined with the great crowds In

Subscribe SO i saw this this. Morning the twelve leading
jersey sellers in THE. Nfl Josh allen number, one Sayque On,
Barkley Jaden, Daniels Jalen, Hurts Jordan love Bo nick's higher
THAN i would have, Guessed Drake, MAY Jsn, Mahomes Caleb,
(13:09):
Williams Micah christian, McCaffrey most of them. Predictable THE nfl
has clearly evolved over the last ten. Years not a
Single Dallas cowboy in fact in the top. Fifty there's,
One Ceedee lamb twenty. First No cowboys in the top.
Twenty Brock purty seventh, rounder little quarterback sometimes gets, hurt
(13:35):
higher than any.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
Cowboy C.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
J stroud from the little brother of The Houston, texans
higher than any. Cowboy Dak prescott's not in the top.
Fifty and you can, say, WELL i mean everybody's got his.
Jersey brady was in the top twenty to the very
end of his career In New. England And, TAMPA i MEAN.
Tj watson in the league a decade he was top.
(13:56):
Fifty dak wasn't. There there's a guy in the that's
not even in the league, anymore or Currently Tyreek hill
made the, List dak didn't top. Fifty so winning, matters
and The cowboys don't win big games because.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They don't play in them.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Anymore and there's only one sports franchise in my life
where winning didn't really affect the, brand Even Notre Dame
football during The Charlie weiss or The lean, Years Bob davey,
Years Ty wellingham years was just not a. Thing didn't
move a. Number The cubs are the only brand built
on and you, know let's be, Honest Terry carey built the.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Brand day games have a.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Bud it's kind of almost a party brand as much
as a baseball. Brand now With Tom rickett's, ownership it's.
Different but what's interesting about The Cowboys it doesn't make any.
Sense why are they not winning? Games they draft. Well
cowboys don't draft. Poorly they almost never miss on their top.
Picks they're actually very very, good way better than The
(14:54):
New England patriots In belichick during their run with their top.
Picks it's very business and player. Friendly no state tax
right in the middle of the. Country you, know you
don't have a lot of six hour flights unless you're
playing In, europe which The cowboys barely have to or
rarely have.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
To so why wouldn't they be?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Better because The cowboys do Something and this happens sometimes
AND i can never figure it. Out every smart guy's
got a. Hole every great athlete has a hole in their. Game,
now When Barry bonds was on cattle, steroids his hole
at the plate was about the size of a pingpong.
Ball but every great hitter has a place you can pitch.
(15:31):
Him every great coach has a weakness or a, liability
And Jerry jones has. One there's three things in life
you should never go cheap on, transportation toilet, paper and
head coaches in THE, Nfl And jerry goes cheap on
the last. One he hires guys that nobody else is
(15:54):
looking to have a head coaching job TO i Like Jason,
garrett nobody else was hiring.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Him mike mcca arthy was on the.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Bench Brian schottenneimer wasn't even interviewing for offensive coordinator. Jobs
Chan gaily nice guy was there a feeding. Frenzy it's
always been remarkable to. ME i recently had dinner with
somebody who worked in The cowboys front, office worked in
relationship with, him really liked, it really respected. Them and
(16:22):
that person said to, me the only rule is never
take credit for. Anything jerry gets all that he. GOES
i loved working with, THEM i loved. Them wasn't A cowboy,
fan worked other, places but, said you, know you just
you don't take. Credit That's jerry's. Thing AND i think
that's the reason why That Alice cowboys don't win big
games because they don't play. Them they've had two great,
(16:43):
Coaches parcels And Jimmy, johnson and both are Like seacrest.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Out so it is.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Fascinating you see it from time to, time really really,
smart successful people that have a hole in their. Game
and That's Jerry's he goes cheap on one of the
three things in. Life you just shouldn't go cheap on toilet,
paper transportation and head coaches in THE.
Speaker 3 (17:07):
NFL J mack with the.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
News, no, no turn on the.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
News this is The Herdline.
Speaker 7 (17:15):
NEWS i never ever go cheap on toilet paper When
i'm at.
Speaker 9 (17:19):
Costco always the two ply good.
Speaker 7 (17:21):
Call, colin all, right we're gonna start with an awesome commercial.

Nike ad ahead of The World.

Cup, colin how about This ronaldo forty, One lebron forty,
one and they are.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Still at the top of their.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
Games portugal one of these five or six best. Teams
i'm seeing Some portugal overrated stuff because, they're you, know
the coach some question, marks but it's pretty awesome That
ronaldo is still, dominating and we are gonna we're gonna
have the commercial here for you right. Now thinking is that.
Speaker 9 (17:56):
We wrote the script for you the.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Goats, goodbye the goats.
Speaker 7 (18:00):

Speaker 3 (18:02):
You uh, oh you got it for. You this is
made for. You the goats, goodbye and you're about the. Goats,
YEAH i like.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
That tough to say goodbye when you're still, Great. RONALDO i,
mean he's still.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
You know, what and you don't have to be as
great when you're. Older the reality can you be great in?
Spurts you know, again if you had three great goals
From rinaldo in The World, cup that would absolutely be.
Fun we all know he's not in his prime Right
and it's just, LIKE i, mean the great thing about
LIKE i remember The Oral hersheiser once was talking about
pitching and he was, like at the very end of my,
(18:44):
CAREER i didn't quite have the, velocity BUT i was
so much smarter on the, mound AND i knew how to,
pitch not just, PITCH i knew how. DO i think
it Was oral who talked about that one time or
more than. Once AND i think when you get these
great stars is there they don't quite have the endurance
or their. Relentlessness but, man they can pick their spots
and they're just, frankly they're smarter than other players on the.
(19:06):
Pitch they're just simpery have the, angles.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Preserve.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
ENERGY i Mean lebron does. THIS i Mean lebron will
pick his spots and for six minutes in ANY nba,
game it's the best player on the. Floor and even
if all starts from other teams are on the, Floor
lebron is really good at picking his spots.
Speaker 7 (19:24):
Now and he's seen every, defense every, permutation every route
To he's seen everything because he's been in the league.
Speaker 9 (19:30):
Forever just an awesome. Marvel AND i don't. KNOW i
Think portugal is Going final.
Speaker 7 (19:35):
FOUR i won't pick them to win, it but we'll
be doing plenty Of portugal throughout The World. Cup, well
let's move to THE nfl And Fernando, mendoza who IS
i think should be the starter?
Speaker 9 (19:45):
Currently colin believe.
Speaker 7 (19:46):
This he's working Behind Kirk cousins and Aoc aidan. O'Connell,
yes that's. Real Fernando mendez a big basically working with
the third team right, now paying his dues and learning the.
Speaker 9 (19:59):
ROPES i don't love that at.
Speaker 7 (20:00):
All but Here's mendoza talking about his development with the.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
Squad there's always a, transition especially from the college level
to THE nfl, level and it's having those positive stressors
and that growing, period and there's going to be some growing.
Pains and, LUCKILY i feel confident That i'm able to
see the field well and that my growing pains are coming. From,
HEY i got to time up my footwork a little
better with the routes and intricacies here and. There And
(20:28):
i'm really working hard with the coaching staff who's pushing
me AND i have done a phenomenal job of relaying
and communicating the information needed and it's up to me
to take full advantage of.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
That always says the right.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Thing that is a thirty percent of being a quarterback
is not starting. Fires always saying the right thing at the,
podium to the, media to your, teammates do your. Coaches
he always says the right. Stuff sharp. Kid i'm really
can't good to watch him. Play, YEAH i can't.
Speaker 7 (20:56):
Wait i'm a little surprised he didn't make that Top jersey.
List no, Surprise Sam darnald didn't make, it But i'm
Surprised mendoza number one overall.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Pick donald was only forty ninth out of. Fifty isn't that?
Speaker 9 (21:08):
Crazy what do you think that tells? You, Huh i'd say.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Anything, WELL i think The seahawks were known for running
the football and defense and their fan. Base and you,
Know donald had just gotten. There so he hasn't built much.
Up you, know he hasn't built much. Up he hasn't
played college in a long. Time he was invisible for.
Years he was at The Jets carolina and backed up
In San. Francisco So sam's only already been in the
forefront for two. Years he disappeared for about five years
(21:34):
FROM Usc Rose bowl Beating Penn state Beating. Texas we're
all you, KNOW i remember those. Calls you go to,
YouTube you're like, wow and he kind of disappeared into
THE nfl abyss for about five.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Years, Yeah Menoz Mendoza jersey will certainly. Pop he's not
going to Pass Super BOWL Mvp Jalen hurts in the top,
ten But mendoza will be. Ill sniff. It let's go
to the final. Story, colin that's a New England patriots
And Mike. Rabel oh, yes he's so excited to have
age J brown in the. BUILDING i, mean the guy's
barely been. There he's been there for ten. Days but
they know each other dating back To. Tennessee, rabel you,
(22:07):
know he's had a rough, offseason but getting this wide, receiver,
boy this feels like he's super excited about.
Speaker 9 (22:13):
It and here Is rabel talking ABOUT Aj.
Speaker 10 (22:15):
Brown the weekend probably served him well to be able
to take a deep breath and and get some. Rest i'm,
sir sure it was a bit of whirlwind for, him
but you, know he's excited about learning the system and you,
know eventually moving around and doing different things and, no
but you, KNOW i think it's it's been great just
(22:38):
having him around and you, know just continuing to integrate
himself into our football.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Team ten and.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
Seven, YEAH i know you're thinking of you AND i
both want to say the same. Thing rabel's saying all
the right. THINGS Aj brown is falling in, line he's
not reading.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Books we're going to go ten and seven and it's
gonna have nothing to do with the.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
Controversy their schedule is.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Well that's the, news and thanks for stopping that the
herd line.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
News, like here's something that's, uh it's. Irritating it's not
the end of the. World but like when when people
are outraged about something and and you don't think it's,
Good like like whenever somebody is LIKE i don't need
to be jingoistic or wrap myself with a flag to Love,
america but there are these people, like, WELL i care
(24:08):
more than.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
YOU i Love america. MORE i Like.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
AMERICA i don't have to wear bumper, stickers, RIGHT i
don't have to put a bumper. Sticker my kid made
the honor. Roll i'm just as proud as of my
kid as you. ARE i just don't put a bumper
sticker on my, truck my, van, Right and SO i
don't think the current scandal in college football is good
for the. Sport AND i think a kid did just
(24:33):
something really dumb and deserves to be. Punished But i'm
not fatalistic BECAUSE i was TOLD covid and you can
look the columns, up was going to end, capitalism people
with real jobs, COLUMNISTS covid is the end of. Capitalism
what's the dow At nasdaq is at decade, highs the
dows at forty nine thousand and fifty. Thousand it's not
(24:56):
the end of. Capitalism we're gonna have a trillionaire here pretty.
Soon WHEN SpaceX goes. Public there'll be forty new millionaires
and four to five new. Billionaires and that's just In. California,
okay it's. Okay over the last five, YEARS nil college
football playoff expansion Transfer PORTAL pac twelve DISBANDED la schools
(25:18):
in The Big, ten and the sport has. Grown i'm
just trying to keep up with the. FATALISTS i Thought
Notre dame IN usc no longer. Playing that was going
to ruin the. Sport i'm just trying to keep up
with the. Fatalists so baseball survived The Black sox scandal
And Pete. ROSE nba not only Survived tim, donaghe it
grew after. It this year started with a betting, scandal
(25:39):
and THE Nba finals ratings are the highest in.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Forever look it, up saw.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Story last week college basketball overcame The boston college point shaving.
Scandal SO i care about. IT i think it's. Bad
i'm not a. Fatalist you know it's not going. Away
college football and football in jail guneral great on, television
play once a, week and we bet on. It betting
(26:06):
is actually one of the things that will save football from.
Controversies and IF i would have said to you before
the college football season, STARTED i would have said to, You,
okay give you a hundred. Bucks predict the big scandal
we're going to.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Have in college sports this.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Year you would have guessed probably some kid gets caught betting.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
GAMES i mean.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
That you would have guessed. That so this was coming
from a mile. Away young men on their, phones gambling ads, everywhere.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right Like it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Being outraged when you know somebody gets an UNFORTUNATE. Dui,
yes we ply people with. Alcohol there's ads. Everywhere bars
often close at two in the. Morning, people it's. Addictive,
yes you're gonna Get nowise have come down thanks to
Way mow and thanks To lyft and thanks To Uber,
(27:05):
societally those transportation mechanisms have been actually saved a lot of.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Lives AND i don't think it's.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Good BUT i don't believe it's the end of college.
FOOTBALL i think this was incredibly. Predictable and The pac
twelve athletic directors everybody took a deep breath they met.
Yesterday it was. APPARENTLY i read the story this. Morning
it was very. Productive but this whole thing About Texas,
Tech nobody's gonna play, them and this is going to
(27:32):
ruin the. Sport it'll never be the. Same, yeah WILL
i bet You by the end of the, year ratings
are up this year from last.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
YEAR i.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Don't have to put a bumper sticker on my car
that my kid made The Honor roll to tell. YOU
i love my kid And i'm proud of AND i
don't have to think this is the worst thing ever
to Think it's not, great but college football will. Survive
and this was kind of Predictable Joel clatt this. Week
you know some people see it as you, Know i'm
(28:07):
not a college football. ANNOUNCER i just love the sport On.
SATURDAY i watch as Much saturday As sunday football most.
Years Here's Joel.
Speaker 11 (28:14):
Clatt Brenan soresby being ruled eligible to play next, fall
and college football is devastating to the.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Sport it just, is and in particular.
Speaker 11 (28:23):
THE ncaaa and now THE, ncaaa they have no ability
to enforce any rule. Whatsoever if you can't enforce this
rule as an organization with member, institutions then what rule
can you? ENFORCE i mean the guy bet thousands of
times thousands of, dollars like what are we?
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Doing, Okay So joel's take is THE NC doublea could
no longer enforce. Law they haven't been able to in a.
Decade they don't win any. Lawsuits they're toothless they have
been for a. DECADE nc DOUBLE a. IS i, mean
even when THE nc DOUBLE a would come down with a,
hammer it was usually because the media broke a story
(29:02):
and then you know they were, like what do they
call them ambulance chasers the personal personal injury. Attorney they
would chase them around town and follow the. Ambulance THE
NC doublea has been toothless. Forever that's not a. SURPRISE
a kid got into a gambling, scandal that's not a.
Surprise this was a predictable misstep that you could see
(29:24):
coming from a mile.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Away and.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
People are, discussing people are. TALKING i do think there's
a chance it'll go to The Texas Supreme, court AND
ncublea is already appealing. It now people say THE nc
DOUBLE a is not very. Optimistic, again IT'S i think
most remember not everybody In texas is A texas tech.
Fan for the goodness of the. SPORT i think reasonable
(29:50):
people will come to the conclusion that a two game
suspension is probably a little, light probably a little, light all,
right J. Mc you know there's certain people that feel
sorry FOR i don't necessarily feel sorry for BAD nfl.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Teams here's another. Reminder next it's The.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Hurd be sure to catch live editions Of The herd
weekdays and noon easternn a Em pacific one.
Speaker 7 (30:18):
Day in, counting the Biggest World cup ever comes To.
America Christian polisic and THE us men's national team kick
off Their World cup dream on a Huge friday night of,
music stars and celebration In Los. Angeles coverage begins at
six Pm, eastern with the match at nine Pm eastern On.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
Fox so THE nfl, regularly annually every year gives really
average to crappy teams opportunities to get better very, quickly
and it's always been remarkable to me how few take
(30:59):
it manage of it. Right we know even the best
general managers don't ace the. Draft you can't depend on
getting better through the, draft even if you have ten
or eleven. Picks this, year The dolphins had a bunch of.
Picks it wasn't a particularly strong. Draft they probably got
four good starters out of, it four, backups and two
(31:20):
or three guys that'll wash, out and that would not
be a bad.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Draft But i'll give you an.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Example miami went out and Got Malik, willis And i'll
get to that in a, second but my initial point
Is Sam darnald was available the last two years to
the whole. League The vikings And seahawks the only two
teams that aggressively Pursued Sam. Darnald how is that. Possible
(31:49):
in the last four, years he is thirty five and.
Ten that's better Than Patrick. Mahomes in, fact it leads the.
League he's big, athletic a big. Arm in the last four,
years he's completed sixty five percent of his, throws has
a passer rating just shy of one hundred seventy four,
touchdowns thirty. Picks coachable everybody likes. Him Sam darnold doesn't
(32:12):
have an enemy in the. League coachable took a reasonable
salary available to the Sport. Seahawks vikings went all. IN
i mean they didn't even go all. In they went
like mostly in because they didn't give him much. Money
Tom brady was forty one years, old forty two and
(32:33):
was available to the. League two teams two The, chargers
And tom didn't want to play on the left.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Coast he.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Didn't Chargers buccaneers went hard after, him super aggressive offers
For Tom, Brady, well he was. Old did you ever
see what his numbers ended up being with two different
coaches In tampa one hundred and eight, touchdowns sixty seven
percent completion, percentage and a ninety eight passer, rating and
(33:05):
he won A Super.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
Bowl two teams went After.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Donald two teams went After, brady and you, say, well
what does that have to do With Malik. Willis, yes
he was bad as a rookie From liberty with the Awful.
Titans he wasn't, great by the, Way Caleb williams wasn't
(33:29):
great with The bears with much better players around. Him
but in the two, years the last two years with The,
packers when he started three, times he was not only,
good he was. Sensational he had the best completion percentage
in the league seventy nine. Percent he was the best
(33:49):
yards per attempt quarterback in the league sixty D's No
Picks passer rating one thirty. TWO i don't think Any
packer fan would deny What i'm about to. Say he
looked as good or better Than Jordan love same, coach same,
assistant same.
Speaker 3 (34:05):
Player well it was only three.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Starts let me ask, you in the entertainment, business how
many notes do you have to hear on the voice
before you know a hack from somebody? Gifted how many
jokes do you need to hear from a stand up
comedian that you, Know, Oh Bill burr's really funny and
this guy. Isn't folks in the entertainment. Industry this isn't.
Accounting it doesn't take long to see talent in, sports hyper,
(34:31):
athletic super, ACCURATE a wonderful kid who everybody. Loved Jordan
love is there to celebrate when he came off the
field In Green, bay available to the league for a,
song and The dolphins were one of one or two
teams that made a run at. Him, NOW i don't
(34:52):
think his numbers will be as good In miami easily
the worst roster in the. LEAGUE i, mean they've got
a really good running, Back Leak willis in a lot of.
Nonsense darnald two teams went after, Him, brady two teams
went after. Him Malik, willis two teams went after. HIM
(35:12):
i have no. SYMPATHY nba is. DIFFERENT i have sympathy
for bad. Teams in THE nba only two rounds of the.
Draft the kids come in very, young and THE nba
limits the trades you can. Make same In Major League,
baseball even a great player Like Bryce, harper he's going to.
Speaker 3 (35:31):
The minor leagues for.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Years you can have a great, PITCHER i mean their
arms fall Off Tommy john for half the pitchers in
the sport over their. Career but in football there's no.
Excuse there's literally no. Excuse brady, Available Malik willis, Available darnald,
available and before you, go you don't know If Malik
willis is any? Good, YEAH i, Do i've seen. Him
(35:53):
it's entertainment singing. Music Quincy jones can listen to two
songs and he knows you're not it or you're. It
go watch a documentary On Quincy jones when it comes to.
Music when it comes to, sports you could walk. In
you can walk into an au basketball gym any of
you and within five minutes you would pick out the
(36:16):
best or top three players at a ten teams. Plan
you'd look around and, Go i'll take those three years
the three best, player and you'd probably be. Right talent
is not hard to spot in the entertainment. Industry Whitney
houston doesn't have to sing six or seven. Songs the
Late Whitney. Houston that sounded. Different ricky's your bass on.
(36:40):
Stage Dave, chappelle that's just funnier than the average. Guy
go to the Laugh factory and then go listen To Dave.
Chappelle doesn't take a lot of jokes to figure out
he's a little. Funnier So Jeff, hafley who was With
willis In Green, bay, says this kid's different, Now he's
even he is a different player now In, miami.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
They've taken more command of the, huddle they've taken more
command when they're out there with the wide.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Outs.
Speaker 8 (37:06):
Confidence i've seen the confidence. Grow and you, know even
the CONVERSATION i have with the league today walking down the,
hallway you can just, see you, know he's more comfortable
and he understands the answers that are being provided for
him on each. Play AND i JUST i think he
looks as good as he's looks Since i've known.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Him, yeah And Jeff hafley faced him every day at
practice for two.
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Years SO i, mean just figure this part.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Out what does it tell you That Jeff hafley faced
him every day at practice for two years and it
was the first guy who wanted to.
Speaker 3 (37:39):
Sign it's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Indication Jeff affley's, like forget the, draft let's go get the.
Kid so it's just AGAIN i, FEEL i, mean The
spurs a great, organization missed the playoffs six straight. Years
it's hard in THE. Nba it's really. Hard and if
it wasn't, forgetting you, Know lucky pingpong ball And. Weimby
they would just be a it's another. Team so it is.
(38:02):
Hard in THE, NBA i can feel sympathy for The Chris.
Finch he's, close he's, close he's getting, There he's. Close
Then wemby appears and you're, like all, RIGHT i guess
we won't win a.
Speaker 3 (38:10):
Title that's not THE.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Nfl just don't go cheap on coaches like The cowboys or,
historically you know The bears have gun cheap on. Coaches
chargers didn't Till Jim. Harriball don't go cheap on. Coaches
it's not that. Hard Darnold Brady malik willis there to the.
Market i'll say, this you don't have to Love Kyler
murray's a number one pick and Took arizona to the
playoffs in the toughest division arguably during his tenure in the.
(38:33):
League McVeigh shanahan, like pretty good. Division, Okay so so
It's game four tonight In New. YORK i Think New
york's favored by about two two and a half.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
POINTS J MACK i kind of Like New.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
York BUT i will say, this the one thing that,
like for, INSTANCE i Think Karl Anthony towns will have
the ball in his hands more tonight BECAUSE i Think Mike,
brown instead of blaming the, officials went back and looked
at the film And mike, went, Oh cat reverted To
cat last year And cat against The hawks, early which
(39:11):
is one, assist kind of waiting, around not truly. Engaged
they're going to get the ball To cat way more.
Tonight that's my. Prediction, cat who played very poorly In game,
three will play very well. Tonight he will not have one. Assist,
well he'll go back to six or seven.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
Assists SO i think he can't play PART I, no,
YEAH i mean he hasn't scored in the fourth quarter
in three. Games, no that's not. It so he'll play much.
Better he'll we think he. WILL i think this is
kind of a simple. Handicap but Like Wembin, yama with
two days, off was the best player on the. Court
he played the most minutes of anyone in the game
and had his most dominant. Game now he only gets
one day, off and if you saw him at the podium,
(39:46):
YESTERDAY i didn't see that. Energy and they said, like,
oh we're not going to do a. Practice you, know
guys are.
Speaker 9 (39:51):
Tired.
Speaker 7 (39:52):
Colin this is where it gets. Weird SO i think
The knicks win, tonight, right but there's two days off
between every game the rest of the. Series that, is
so you'll get A Max Wemby And i'm, LIKE i
think this is still going to go seven even when
the next win.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
Tonight, YEAH i you, know it's it's easy for us
to downplay What wemby has, done but he's led THE
nba in. Blocks look at these numbers in each of
his first three. Seasons youngest player with forty points and
twenty rebounds in a playoff game, ever first Unanimous Defensive
player of The year. Ever he's the only player ever
(40:26):
with thirty five, points ten, boards five, says five, blocks
and five threes in a. GAME i would say to this,
point he's almost. OVERACHIEVED i, mean, honestly IF i always
said that About, lebron well he's not winning. Titles lebron
was better THAN i thought he would.
Speaker 9 (40:41):
Be, YEAH i.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
MEAN i didn't know What Michael jordan would, be but
he was. OBVIOUS i watched them all through. College WHAT i, mean,
LIKE i think you made the. Point it Took jordan
like six or seven years to get to the.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Finals wembley is.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Down wemby is better THAN i, Thought Like Tiger, WOODS
i mean that's all people talked about for. Years actually
he was better THAN i thought he would. Be and
and PEOPLE i knew in golf because remember With, nike
he was connected To nike In beavert In oregon. Forever
SO i was talking to people At nike and they're, Like,
oh he's going to be, unbelievable And i'm, like he's.
(41:15):
Not wait time, Out he's not gonna be. This he's
not winning THE Us open by how many? Strokes SO
i Think wemby's actually better THAN i.
Speaker 7 (41:25):
Thought how about, This, Colin what If wemby wins THE
nba finals And france wins The World?
Speaker 9 (41:30):
Cup you would hate, that, Right you're not A france.
Speaker 3 (41:33):
Guy, OH i wouldn't hate that
