talks at the end of this hour, but until it's
NFL and NBA.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Speaking of the.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
NBA, Rob Real barn Burner in Indiana, Milwaukee's up one
oh six to one oh four with three forty left down.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yep, good game. So that the Milwaukee or Indiana just yeh.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
One six with three five to go. Yeah, there you go.
Definitely this is a big turning point here too.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Yeah, it is.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
It is so if Indiana wins, I think they've got
big time control of this series. I wouldn't feel the
same thing if Milwaukee wins. It's good for him, it's
a good win. But Indiana could come back and win
Game four on their home floor. So we will see
how this goes. But Rob, last night, the San Francisco
forty nine Ers drafted a wide receiver. Rob g give
(01:47):
us the whole breakdown, because the talk is that it
could lead to them sending either Brandon Ayuk or Deebo
Samuel out the door in a trade.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
So breakdown the situation.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Sure, so, leading up into the first round of the draft,
it was reported by multiple outlets on Thursday that the
forty nine ers were looking to package either Brandon Ayuk
or Deebo Samuel in a trade to move open into
the top ten. We don't know who they were looking
to target, but that was what the reports were. Obviously
that never came to be. However, that doesn't mean that
(02:21):
they're and you're gonna stop shopping those two players. According
to Mike Silver, currently works for the Simi Schogo Chronicle,
he's been covering Bay Area sports.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You know, longer than I had been alive and feels like.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
He said that even though neither of those trade materialized
on Thursday, the team is still actively looking to make
a move. In fact, he tweeted out late on Thursday
night in the overnight hours that the Niners are actually
more likely to deal Deebo Samuel than Brandon Ayuk, and
in fact, other outlets have since piled onto that report,
adding that the Buffalo Bills and the New England Patriots
(02:56):
are two teams that are said to have serious interest
in either of those two receivers.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Rob, what are your thoughts on that if they move
Iyuk or Debo? Did they drafted Parsol out of Ricky
Parsaul out of UH Florida?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Then then I'm not sure what where are the forty
nine is going home?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Dinner? Maybe a show? I mean, what like, why would
don't you have.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
A Super Bowl money possibility?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Chris? I know, I mean, I mean that's what I
just don't understand it. Like you you you.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Just lost right then? You just losing the Super Bowl?
Or my or am I thinking five years ago?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Like I thought?
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I don't think this Okay, go ahead, I'm just I'm
just saying I'm not trying to get rid of those
players when I'm not close those kind of players. Uh,
what's the right word that I want to use? Impact
players or uh.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
But they're great to get key performers for you.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, that's all I'm saying is they'll tell you could
swap people in and it doesn't matter or whatever.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
I guess, you know, everybody's replaceable. Of doub what you
want to use that term. It just seems weird to me,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Look, I get it, and I get it because of
the economics of the NFL. And you saw Buffalo not
only making moves in the offseason, letting a lot a
lot of guys walk, but even in the draft trading down,
trading out of the first round because they need picks
to fill their roster or at least, you know, get
(04:33):
good players and replacements. Dallas, we see them, you know,
letting free agents go and you know, making move not now,
they're not definitely paying Dak, haven't paid CD Micah yet.
So it's the finances in the NFL, and Brandon Ayuk
wants a huge contract, and so it looks like they're
(04:57):
only gonna be able to keep I mean, at least
from the scuttle but is that they'll only be able
to either trade Iyuk or you know, or sign him
and trade Deebo because Deebo got paid a few years
ago and Rob a few years ago. I thought Deebo
Samuel was the best football player. Just a football player, yeah,
(05:19):
just you know, just I mean, there's no measure for that,
but just a guy that I envisioned. If we had
them run through a gauntlet of skills and he had
to tackle, you had to block, you had to run,
what was your speed? Like, can you catch? You know,
all of that, I think he would have been the best.
He's what I pictured when I think of a football player.
(05:41):
But like you said, when he got injured, he hasn't
really been that same player these last few years and
still gets hurt in the Super Bowl, right yeah, yeah,
So my point is, I mean, I you had a
much better season last year, and Deebo obviously see with
his versatility, he can run the ball, even though he
(06:03):
doesn't really want to do that as much, but run
the ball.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
And he just gives you a lot of options.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
But Rob, if at this point I would go with
I would if I have to trade one of them,
I would sign Brandon Ayuk and trade Deebo Samuel uh
And And it's not just the production dip, it's the injuries.
I'm worried about his health. He just is somewhat injury
(06:34):
He's not like crazy, but somewhat injury prone.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And I think you still would have Ayuk.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Juwan Jenny's is a really good you know, he's not
a number one receiver. He played great in the Super Bowl,
but he's pretty good. They drafted the kid out of Florida,
who is a good prospect. Obviously, you still have Christian
McCaffrey and George Kittle. So I rob I I don't
think this would mean by any stretch of the imagination
(07:04):
that they are not going to be a Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Again.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
I think they will. And then again, who what will
they get? They might get, you know, another receiver in
return or I don't know if it would just be
picks or what. But I think I understanding economics, I
get the situation there. And remember they're gonna assume any
plays well next year. They might have to give somewhat
(07:30):
big money to Brock Purty in a year, and so
I think that's what this is all about. But I
think they could withstand out of the two, I would
send Debo out the door before ayuk.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Yeah, I hear that plan. I just thought that you
can in the NFL, if you want to kick the
can down the road, figure it out, if you really
want to and you think you have something brewing in
you a chance to win when you start taking away
and I get it and replacing Chris, it doesn't mean.
(08:05):
It doesn't mean that automatically you're gonna be the same
or you're gonna be out of something. But it doesn't
also mean you're gonna be better or improved just because
you make changes. It's it's a slippery slope when you're
that close. Yeah, you know what I mean, Like like
like you can look at Buffalo, Oh, well you gotta
do this and do that. Do I really feel the
same way about Buffalo anymore? I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
We're not talking about that top no, no, no, But
you know what I mean, They've got yeah, they've got it.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So I'm just saying, if I'm the forty nine ers
and they start to get rid of those key some
of the clutch key performers that have been a big
part of the reason that they've been to the Super
Bowl twice within the last five years. When has it
been twice? Ye five years? I mean there's a changing
up the guard. Things are changing and maybe that window
you start to think that window Chris that was open
(08:56):
might be closing or might be closed.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
They're also, Rob, are a lot of great wide receivers
out there, and not just in this draft. They're they're
great ride receivers all over. And you wonder, Rob, if
we know that wide receiver outside of quarterback. Wide receiver
has become the glamour offensive position.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Right.
Speaker 1 (09:17):
It used to be running.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Back and all the best athletes when they're younger played
running back right And now I think, Rob, the best young.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Athletes are playing receiver right because.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Down and so there's a ton of great receiver like
I think, I don't think now I know they're they're not.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Everybody's not a great receiver, all right.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
We saw that with Kansas City, and I like what
they did in the draft getting Xavier Worthy. We saw
last year, even though they won the Super Bowl, they
didn't have really good receivers. But they are out there
and I think they got one in this kid for Florida,
and obviously Ayuk is somewhat special and now at their height.
(10:07):
Rob if I thought Deebo, if he was still the
guy who was three years ago, it's a no brainer.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I'm keeping debo. But now he's played right.
Speaker 4 (10:18):
He plays a physical brand, you know what I mean,
a football about as physical as you can be for
a receiver. And we, like we said, he runs the
ball some I don't know that he's going to, you know,
get back to that form that he had a few
years ago. Here's the interesting thing too, Buffalo being mentioned,
or even New England. New England has money to burn,
(10:40):
so I kind of could get them spending it. If
you're Buffalo and they need a receiver for Josh Allen,
do you pay big money to Ayuk or go for
Deebo or do you just say, look, we had to
cut down some money. Josh Allen's big contract hasn't even
(11:03):
kicked in yet, so let's just go with these some
young kids.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And we got the great quarterback. We believed that.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
You know, last year when we made our run, it
wasn't because of a great receiver like Diggs who wasn't
doing much.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
And let's just say this, they did draft Chris at
the top of the second round of receiver from Floorida.
They right did so, so they addressed the need, right, yep.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
But you know what I'm saying, So do you go
do you keep these young guys or do you I mean,
they're just starting, Like you said, Rob, they kicked the
can down the road, right, and now they're paying they're
having the answer.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
No.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I know they did because they thought they had a
window when they were good for five years, Chris, right,
four years. So so when you do that and you
have a chance, it just makes sense. Right, you're trying
to win. You are looking to win one.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Super Bowl, not four.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Right, I'm not mad at what they did, but now
now you gotta pay the piper, right, and I got
that's where you are, right all right?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
You'll turn the way in when you have to, uh
make a trade. If the if the Niners are going
to trade one of their great receivers Brandon Ayuk or
Deebo Samuel, which one should they move and which team
should go after? Should Buffalo go after one of those guys?

All Right, it's a funky Flashback Friday and it is
the Odd Couple Live from the Tiereck dot Com Studios.
Indiana Pacers Milwaukee Bucks in overtime thanks to Chris Middleton's
three pointer with a second and a half left that
tied it up.

to foul him? I just I didn't see the three pointer? Yes, yeah,
So why do they found shows?
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now? Oh my god? That's best teams.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
You know, there's different philosophies, and some teams go with
that philosophy.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
But yeah, they didn't foul him.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, you'll turn
the way in on the Niners.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Who should they trade? Are you or Debo? Your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right, let's kick it off with Mike in California.
You're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio. What's up, Mike?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Okay, yeah, yeah, how y'all doing?
Speaker 8 (14:34):
Man?
Speaker 5 (14:35):
Great? Best radio team on the radio. Wow. Listen, thank you,
Hey listen man. Yeah, I think they should trade are you?
Because I think Debo he can do a little bit more.
He can run, you know, he can run, kicksback, you know,
punt return, and he can catch the ball. You know,
he's more versatile. He can do three things, and plus
(14:57):
he has more experience and this guy's you is on.
They had one year good year. You gotta remember that.
It ain't like he's put together two or three good years.
I think they should go ahead and let him go
and maybe Buffalo or some other club can pick him up.
But I would keep Debo because forty nine ers they
still got a chance to go back to the Super Bowls.
It's not time to break this team up yet. They
(15:18):
got too many good players to give up on the
forty nine ers. So I think you should be the
one to leave town. And I think you can take
it my car.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Look it makes sense. I mean, Deebo is more versatile
Rob at his best. My question is just will he
get hurt?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
And that's fair, just that the part of giving up Chris,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
I don't think I know they're not gonna be right
there in the mix, do you? Yeah? I mean you
you would assume not, but you don't know. I think
it's gonna be tough.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
I think, Rob, how much will the mental strain right off?
You keep getting there and a lot of the players
are the same, right you keep getting there or getting
close and falling short.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's tough man after a while, no doubt. Q in Arizona,
you're in the odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
What's up? Q?
Speaker 8 (16:10):
Hey, what's happening to fellas?
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Man?
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Love y'all? Man?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Thank you?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Uh man?
Speaker 8 (16:15):
The forty nine Ers is my favorite team. I don't understand.
First of all, he's a Swiss army knife. Yes, Devo,
Devo is a Swiss army knife. Like, Okay, you drafted
a wide receiver. Why don't you see what he gonna
(16:35):
do the first year before you you know?
Speaker 4 (16:38):
Uh well, this is all financial. I'm sure they don't
want to trade him more.
Speaker 8 (16:44):
Ayuk, No, I get it, I get it, but but
but I just man, we're there, were right, there were
right there. If we we we drafted a wide receiver,
Let's see what he can do the first year. I
don't want anybody to get hurt, you know what I mean?
Deepot Sanders is a swift army knight. Yep, you know
(17:05):
what I mean. And this is this is one of
the reasons why I hate to be a sports fan,
because you get all these great players and injury is
part of the game. It is. But man, you just
got to keep digging. Man, and I hear you.
Speaker 5 (17:22):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Look, Deebo is a great and valuable piece. There's no
question about it, No, no, no doubt. Q. The problem
is the injury sometimes that's it.
Speaker 8 (17:32):
Yeah, it's part of the game though, you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Know, no doubt. Thanks Thanks, Q, appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Apartment yep eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox if
you want to jump in, still a chance to jump
in on this, Chris, Uh, yeah, it'll it'll be interesting
because I don't know what they are they going to
get there again, I'm talking about the forty nine ers
or you know.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
The NFC. Look obviously on paper for they're right there.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
Like I said to me, one of their biggest challenges
Rob is just going to be mentally, you know now,
the fact that their quarterback is young, he's only been
to the Super Bowl one, you know, Like I think
that helps. But there's also that Super Bowl hangover that
a lot of the losers in the.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Super Bowl have suffered.
Speaker 4 (18:22):
We saw Carolina with Cam Newton, you know, they go
through some tough times after they went to the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Last year. We saw Philadelphia fall into some type of
mysterious funk at the end of the season. Remember they
started out ten and O was, and so I think
the mental strain is gonna be the toughest.
Speaker 4 (18:44):
I think on paper, they still have a great team
on paper, But Rob, I mean, I think the NFC
is getting better now.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Dallas I think has taken a step back.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
I think, at least at this point, I'm not haven't
done anything right, no except lose guys. You know, I
think they had a good draft last night with the
tackle out of the whole draft pretty well. They drift
offensive lineman really well too, So I like you said,
they do draft well, that's one thing.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
I have to give them credit for it.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
But Rob, Philadelphia I think has gotten better, so they're
gonna be right there. I mean, the NFC North now
is a monster. Detroit and Green Bay we know we're good.
And Chicago has talent and we're gonna talk about Kayleb
Williams a little later. But I think that's big for
you know, they got a shot to make the playoffs,
and Minnesota's got a lot of talent. We just got
(19:39):
to see how these rookie quarterbacks in Minnesota and Chicago do.
The South is still pretty weak, and the West you
got the Niners and the Rams, so it's still not
as good as the AFC, but I do think it's
gotten a little bit better.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
So it's gonna be tougher for the Niners. Mitch in
New Jersey, you're on the eye couple of Fox sportsuit.
What's up? Match have to just by the way.
Speaker 9 (20:05):
I think depends in the decision.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Really wow, that would be truth.
Speaker 9 (20:14):
Caleb Rome, But I think that takes skip anyway film
ahead of myself here. I think Debo he's going intension
to get hurt the defense of running back the drafted
word receiver. If you have to trade and one of
them that would trade Gebo. They gave up a lot
of guys and people can whine and this his money,
(20:34):
all right?
Speaker 5 (20:34):
Mayeah?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
I mean they're saying Rob that they're not, you know,
trading them, and so you know, we'll see if that
ends up being the case. But obviously you just can't
believe that just because they say it. All right, Uh
Joe l mb rob what a monster performed with pauls
Chris Yeah, and a sore need to boot wow.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
But we'll get into that next.

The Indiana Pacers have retaken the lead in overtime under
fifteen seconds left. It's one eighteen one fifteen timeout. Milwaukee's
about to get the ball. This is game three of
the first round series. Series tied at a game apiece.
Pacers led by nineteen. Late in the first quarter of
this game, Jaisan Tenacumpo out again for the Bucks with
a strained calf, so Chris Middleton has thirty nine points.
(21:35):
Aaron Neismith just hit a three for this lead for
the Pacers. He had been oh of six from long
distance in this game until that shot. Tyrese Halliburton was
sixteen assists. The Clippers are in action at Dallas. That
is underway mid first quarter. Clippers up fourteen twelve. That
series also tied at a game apiece. Minnesota leads its
first round are two games to none. It has the
(21:55):
late game at Phoenix after ten thirty pm Eastern time.
The Nets are hiring Juwan Howard as an assistant coach
for NHL playoff games, including the number one Rangers, leading
again two to one mid second period at Washington, trying
to go up three games to none in that first rounder,
and in the end of the first period. Now the
Canucks have a one nothing lead at Nashville. To the
(22:17):
NFL Draft rounds two and three or tonight, we finally
had a running back selected from the Texas Longhorns. Jonathan
Brooks goes to the Carolina Panthers. We had some wide
receivers and defensive tackles taken already tonight as well. In fact,
to start round two, Florida state wide out Keon Coleman
went to the Buffalo Bills. Then the Chargers traded up
to get Georgia wide receiver Lad mcconkee and from the
(22:40):
Washington Huskies, wide receiver Jalen Polk goes to New England
to Major League Baseball first inning home run for Shoheyo
Tani Dodgers, looking for a fifth straight win. They're now
leading eight nothing at Toronto. In the bottom of the
fourth inning, Max Munsey and Will Smith with home runs
as well. At Baltimore, it's two to one Orioles over
the US top of the six. The Orioles today sent
(23:02):
first rounder Jackson holiday back to triple A. He was
two for thirty six at the plate with eighteen strikeouts
in the majors.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
This year, really eighteen.
Speaker 10 (23:10):
K's so a recent first rounder and clearly not ready ready,
even though hitting three hundred in the minors. Kansas City
wins again today. It was one nothing in the ninth,
eight nothing the final at Detroit. Royals record seventeen to ten.
Hobby Bias of the Tigers, zero for three, he is
betting one ninety. Cubs are leading for to one at
Boston in the bottom of the fifth inning. Again we've
(23:32):
got overtime in an NBA playoff game, and the Milwaukee
Bucks have tied it up. In the final seconds of
ot it is one eighteen.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
Another three hit it again.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
I was just about to say, they're gonna foul this
time or what are they doing?
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Chris now at the regulation was phenomenal. A thirty footer
where there was almost no space and he heaved it up.
This was less than yeah, So in the final seconds,
retelling the game at one eighteen, back to.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You, wow, six point seven.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
So that look what scares you always is you don't
you know if you and they get the shot off
and they hit it and then you risk them forget
that get but you I mean, there's gotta be a
way you can I mean, I get it a risk,
but you can foul them, you know what I mean,
(24:27):
just right before they throw up the ball. Right, that's uh,
it's interesting too. Now I'm not they're not going away
from Dame. You go to who you has been there?
Clutch guy?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
You know until yeah? Yeah what?
Speaker 4 (24:42):
And he was questionable going into the game. There was
some thinking he might not play.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
I remember when he was drafted by the Pistons. Chris
Chris Middleton, Chris with a K. Here's a second rounder
round pick. Yeahous ended up having a nice career.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
The injuries deweled.
Speaker 10 (24:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
If he if he hadn't been injured, Rob, I mean,
there's no telling one they might have another championship.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
But this is yeah, six and a half seconds left.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Just I'm behind, I'm behind, so I'm like two quarters behind.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Yeah, Chris, it's him streaming.
Speaker 6 (25:19):
Oh Chris during the shower.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Chris Halliburn. How many points?
Speaker 4 (25:28):
He hadn't scored a lot? He's a great young player.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Did carry there, Steve? Was that a carry? What was that?
Speaker 5 (25:35):
Man? There?
Speaker 4 (25:35):
Ain't no such thing in today's NBA carry like crazy.
Did you see the one the picture? I can't remember
who it was who had the was it was it?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
He didn't carry cert not not by the basketball but
behind the line. But Luca had the ball on his
on his uh uh shoulder?
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Chris, did you see that one way? He had the
ball pin to his shoulder? Am I right? Rob G?
Speaker 5 (25:59):
Right?
Speaker 1 (26:00):
It was a terrible pace.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
It's it's terrible, I just say, Rob And who was
saying there was a player recently talking about this, a good,
great player from the eighties, Rob G.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Did you see that? Or Chris? Did you see that?
Because there's a one point six seconds left? It was
a great play by him, so.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
They'll get it at half court though again they got
time one point six seconds. That's a lot of time
in the Yeah, it's enough time to get off a
decent shot. But I can't remember the player that was
saying it, but it was a guard.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
It was a relative.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
I don't remember if he was a Hall of Fame
level player, but it was definitely a really good player
from back in the day. And he was talking about,
you know, we couldn't you know, we couldn't get away
with the carrying that they do today. Now you had
to keep your hand on top of the ball, and
(26:58):
it's so much more.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
You can do rob with your handle.
Speaker 11 (27:01):
Yeah, when you can, if you could do the ball
and yeah, all that stuff, that's.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Why you get the offense everything. Come on, it's incredible.
Speaker 8 (27:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, Rob G was just yelling at me in my ear.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Get t mbid, get to embiid Joe l embiid fifty
points drop. I said it last night. He was thirteen
for nineteen from the floor, nineteen for twenty one from
the free throw line.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Rop.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
So he took forty shots last night.
Speaker 4 (27:34):
I know they that's not how we categorize free throws,
but I'm just saying forty shots. He made thirty two
of them. Wow, that dude. Look, you know, I jump
on him. I'd like to see him down low a
little bit more. But I gotta be honest. This dude,
I've never seen anybody his size shoot the mid range jumper.
(27:57):
His mid range jumper is as good as Kevin Durant.
Now it's three, isn't. But I mean this dude Middleton again,
missus that one, but his range charm to do it
three times, So.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Indian up to one final.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
But Joel mbi Rob, you know, people used to say,
and I know it's Look, it's a whole different type
of game now. So I'm not taking anything away from
the great Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing. But you know,
he was known Rob as the greatest shooting big man.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I've always said that, Patrick. And it's funny because in college, Chris,
what do you average? Thirteen points at Georgetown? Is back
to the basket. He really wasn't an offensive threat.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Right, I mean he was, you know, yeah, he was
a defensive force and scored in.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
The paint, you know.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
But yeah, with the Nicks, he became a great, you know,
mid range shooter. But mb I mean again, I know
it's a different.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Game in today's league.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Maybe Ewing would have been who knows how Ewing would
have played today, you know what I mean. I know,
Shack Rob with his ability as a young player, his athleticism,
his skill, his ball handling, he'd have played completely different
if he were coming up today.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
But mbat is the best shooting big man. Like he's incredible.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
It's not even yeah, it's just incredible. And as you said,
Robbie's playing with bells palsy. Now, that's not necessarily a
permanent condition.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
That's when when I first heard it, I was like,
do people get over that? Like, yeah, some people don't
do that, wonder.
Speaker 4 (29:36):
Well, yeah, I don't know, Rob, g look it up
because I know some people.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
We had a guy, a co worker of mine right now,
I won't.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Say you know who.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
He had it a few years ago, and you know
what I mean, like, and he doesn't have it now.
So it's kind of one of those and it just
hit him, you know, I don't know. Yeah, so this
is not necessarily something that's gonna be permanent. But it's
like a paralysis of one side of your face.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Rob, do you got the details? What we're sure?
Speaker 6 (30:10):
According to the Male Clinic, Bell's palsy is a condition
that causes sudden weakness and muscles on one side of
the face. Oftentimes, the weakness is short term and improves
over a period of week, and the weakness makes half
your face appeared to droop. In the case of Joel Embiid,
it made it so that he could not blink one
of his eyes, so he had to use eyedrops to
(30:32):
keep them moistened, and he had to routinely flush his
mouth with water because half of his mouth was always open,
again leading to the dryness.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
He's had it like almost all season two. Oh I
didn't know that.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, he got it earlier in the year, and he
just credit to him. Man, he's played through it. He hasn't,
you know, obviously made a big deal out of it,
and then he's playing through the knee injury. Rob So
And you know, we talked about this going into the playoffs.
Were his playoff struggles or at least decline due to
(31:06):
you know, some type of mental block Ali James Harden
Or was it because he's generally banged up and injured
and he's injured now. So, but I feel like Rob,
he's proving right now that I've thought it was kind
of been due to him always being injured. Like even
(31:26):
if he plays, he's seventy five percent now. I guess
you could argue, well, he's seventy five percent now and
he's killing, which is true, that's fair. But I just
think he's starting to answer some of those questions.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Rob. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
I mean that was a performance for the Ages when
they really needed it too.
Speaker 1 (31:43):
Chris right, Yeah, I mean, think about gosh, yeah, they
needed that one.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
And I'm gonna say this, did you see the play
where he fell. He was down in the paint and
he grabbed Mitchell Robinson leg as Robinson was going up
for a shot.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Not it was a dirty play.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
He was given a flagrant one, should have been probably
a flagrant two, and he should have been ejected rob
I'm gonna say he probably should have because it's a
dangerous place. Thankfully Robinson wasn't hurt, but I'm glad he
wasn't robbed. And I don't think this came into the
thinking of the officials or mbead or anybody. But they
(32:27):
took The officials took a game from the Sixers. That's
all there is to it. I know it wasn't the
last play of the game when they when Maxi got
filed twice and they didn't nick Nurse, they didn't give
him his time out he was calling for.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
They they they would have won that game. I believe.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I think it was what a ninety five chance we
would say they would have won that game had the
officials made those calls. And so I think last night
was clear they to won the game without Indeed, if
he's ejected, yeah, so I think, you know, I think
it kind of in the head, but nah, I'm sure
it was.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
I mean, I don't think it was. Yeah. Yeah, And
I'm not even saying it should be.
Speaker 4 (33:12):
I don't think when you're making a decision like that
that you think that way. But in hindsight, Rob, I'm
glad it's worked out this way because now it's like, Okay,
he got away with something that probably should have had
him kicked out of the game, and they won, and
so now it's kind of like, Okay, we get you know,
we're even so to speak.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
Yeah, no, and that's fair. Otherwise, uh, because what happened
in that Madison square go on was bad and even
the league acknowledged it. You can't foul a guy twice, Chris,
and he can call it once.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
And then again the time round and in Dallas, Rob,
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
If you're watching Luka Doncic, some type of leg injury
looks like maybe a knee.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
I don't think it's I'm just see him going to
the best but he's not going to the back though.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
No, it looks like it's just got bumped.
Speaker 4 (34:03):
And you know a lot of times the worst knee
injuries are non contact, or it's not so much you
bump somebody. You could bump knees and it's a stinger
or you know what I mean, it's sore or bothers
you and then you're okay eventually, or but it didn't.
It looks like he fell on the knee. Yeah, so
(34:23):
I assume it'll be okay. But right now he's out
of the game.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
All right.
Speaker 4 (34:27):

Speaker 6 (35:20):
That's right, it is shop Talk here on the Odd
Couple of Fox Sports Radio secment, where we talk about
something that happened outside of the world of sports. This
week's topic comes to us from the world of music,
where Doja Cat, who Rob famously had an issue, doing
an ad read for her for one of our sponsors.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
What Doja Cat?
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Do you?
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Kept saying, Doja Cat, I don't know how to pronounce
it that you ain't down with Doja Cat.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
No, I'm down with opp but not Doja Ca.
Speaker 6 (35:45):
Let me tell you this, Chris, once you hear this story,
you might be down with Doja Cat. You know, I
know you like you don't really listen to music. But
in a series of posts on Twitter, I'm gonna call
it Twitter. I don't call it X still call it
the grab everybody.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
We call them tweets. We don't call them exes.
Speaker 11 (36:00):
The grab winning rapper and it has nothing to do
with social media. Geez okay, that could be his own
shop talk. So Doja Cat admonished her own fans. This
is what she said in a series of tweets, in
part I don't know what the f you think this is,
but I don't.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Make music for children, so leave your kids at home.
I'm rapping about blank, I can't say the word.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Well, what what does I mean? So a few.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
No, she's rapping about ejaculation, God, why are you bringing
your offspring to my show? And of course some of
her songs are called uh, cybersex, bottom Bitch, and it
goes on and on what you can say that, yes
you can? You can say wow, yes you can. It's
the name of a song. I don't think I called
(36:49):
anyone that.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
I'm almost your way manage. And she has another song
called the Girls.
Speaker 6 (36:58):
But anyways, your thoughts on Doja Cat basically alienating a
portion of her own fan base.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Ron Parker, it's it's weird because people because I hear
what she's saying. As far as who are music is
intended for?
Speaker 1 (37:19):
But I don't know.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I mean parents taking kids places with them. Maybe that's
that they can't get a babysitter. The kids don't know
what you're rapping about. They don't understand the language. Do
you understand what I'm saying, Chris, I don't know if
you're damaging the kids if they really don't know what's
going on.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
So it's weird to tell people not to come. I
don't think it's weird. I like, I applaud Dosha Cat.
I applaud her for her self awareness.
Speaker 1 (37:48):
It's her right to do that if she wants.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
It'd be like if she was a if she was
a porn star and she was like, wait, you letting
your kids watch this?
Speaker 1 (38:00):
You doing this is for adults. It is the same thing.
Speaker 4 (38:04):
There's such a thing as pornographic music, and that's what
she apparently makes.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
I don't really know her stuff, but she admitting it,
so I know other.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Well, if that's the case, and I just stop them
at the door, why don't she have security stop anybody
wasn't checking for IDs and wasn't they.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
That's fine, But I'm just telling you, I think she
was smart. She was responsible to say, don't bring you
my stuff is for adults.
Speaker 1 (38:33):
What the heck are.
Speaker 4 (38:34):
You thinking bringing I don't know how young the kids
are bringing you eight year olds to hear this? I
mean it, and I think some eight year Yeah, I
think some of the kids, especially with the proliferation of
this type of music now, they know a lot of
times what's going on. They might be seeing stuff on
(38:55):
their phones now at a younger age, and obviously a
lot of the music is talking about this stuff, and
so I'm not convinced that they don't know, at least
some of them.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
She's talking about. You got to tell me.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
How old they are, Like, I wouldn't let my kids
listen to that mess.
Speaker 1 (39:13):
Yeah, that's your right as a parent, and I think
other people don't look at things like that.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
There's such a thing as an irresponsible parent, but.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
It's also but it's also to me, a lot of
stuff goes on in the outside, and it's for you
as a parent. I don't have any kids, but I
know how I was raised to let us know what
is and is inappropriate. No matter what I hear on
the outside, no matter what's out there in society, doesn't
mean that I'm going to adapt it, Chris, just because
(39:42):
I heard it or I saw it, I was broke.
I was raised a certain way and that's how I
live my life. And I think a lot of it
does have to do with your parents and what is
accepted and what isn't accepted.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (39:55):
No, I mean, but you sound like you agree with me.
I think it's irresponsible of a parent. Now, again, we
don't know exactly the age she's talking about.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
But to bring little kids and we see it.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
Sometimes you see it on TikTok and these you know
social media sites with little.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Kids twirking and doing sexual type.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Dances and their moms or parents are laughing encouraging them.
I'm sorry, that's your right to do it. It's irresponsible,
it's irresponsible, and so I think she's right for saying it,
and you know, good for her for you know, putting
(40:39):
that ahead of just making money.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
So why does she just cancel the show? It's what
she saw the kids and said, if your kids are here.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
I mean, I don't know, Rob ask her, but I'm
just saying that.
Speaker 4 (40:50):
Don't That doesn't change the fact that she was right
for doing it. Maybe going forward she won't let those
types of kids, you know, young kids in her shows.
I mean, you're right she could go ahead and take
that step.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
Well, God's full disclosure. Her concerts do have age restrictions.
You got to be sixteen to be at the one
in London O two, but if you have a parent
with you you can get in. And there's another one
that says younger younger. You can have children as young
as eight years old with adult at the Glasgow Concerts.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Yeah, I mean, come on, man, I believe it.
Speaker 4 (41:24):
Yeah, it's like I said, irresponsible and we can't be
afraid to say some people just wrong and don't know
what they're doing.
