Speaker 3 (01:38):
I thought I thought I forgot how to talk for
a second. I was worried about myself.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Big had a great show today.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Good.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I think we knocked it out of the part. Nice
lot to talk about. Yes, we had coaching firings in
college football. Yes, we had all sorts of madness in
the NFL. We had another coach fired in the NFL.
Titans got rid of Brian callyhan uh. I had a
nice relaxing weekend and then you wake up today. It's
sixty one degrees out here now, so.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Get inside of studio, sweat a weather, sweat a weather exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
I could not throw on that sweater fest enough. Yeah
it was awesome.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Yeah, it was a crazy weekend. College ball had some
losses as well. Man, it's it's kind of nuts.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Man.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
When you get into that top twenty in the college
a minute you break in there, you better protect yourself,
you better pull your gun out.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah, Penn State lost again. They lost to Northwestern after
losing Ucla, who hadn't had a lead at any point
in the season until they beat Penn State or Penn State,
then follows that up with okay, lost two in a row,
one to a really good team, one to a really
bad team. But it's okay, we could still rally. And
then they lose to Northwestern. Sure, it doesn't win anything,
(02:46):
and James Franklin has you're gonna want to sit down
for this a fifty million dollar buyout. You got to
give it all to them if you want them to leave.
You don't get to cut that back boy in a
half because he doesn't work therey.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
No payments.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's all going the way, is that right? Ye? Yeah, sure,
And they said, yeah, we're gonna do it anyway.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
Jesus Wow. Gives it just gives you an idea to
kind of coin these big universities have.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
It is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Why if they buy someone out like this, does that
mean the alumni association is going to start making the
round saying, you know, we need just a.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Little bit more.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
It's like the collection play to church.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Look, I don't think they're I think that, you know,
I think it's the alumni that basically pay that fee.
I don't know how much of the fee Penn States
getting because I mean, you think about what they could
do for fifty million dollars on the campus. We're going
to programs they could start, what they could actually do
with that rather than a g D football coach.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
I mean, all the money is pretty much coming from
the same place, and all of those most of those
buildings that are built on college campuses are from big
time donors.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah sure.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And these, yeah, these programs they have, they have so
many rich boosters that they allocate money to different things.
And people want their name on a billing. Some people
want the best quarterback that's available, and there's just there's
so much money that's flying around right now. But Penn
State invested big time to be really good. They were
my preseason I'm egg on my phase. I'll tell you
what I'm right. I'll tell you when I'm wrong. I
(04:14):
had them as my national champion. Really the season started over.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Ohio State, Texas, schools like that, Miami.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah. I think I had Penn State and Texas in
the national championship and Texas kind of stinks too.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
So they got a big win against and just because
scrambled eggs in the studio right now. They they went
and hired a defensive coordinator that was going to fix
all their defensive problems. They had the most expensive defensive
coordinator in the in college football. Their rosters loaded, they
made it to the College Football Playoff. All of their
(04:47):
big guys from last year's team came back. This was
supposed to be the year and still they fall short.
And they fell short before Halloween. So the season's over
for them.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
But locally you have Florida State that lost again. This
is now three straight for them after that glorious win
against Alabama to start the season. Fraud Boy, is that
feeling like a mirage.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I was talking to some guys playing golf this weekend
about that what a street mirage that was.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's a distant memory. And Alabama is pretty good yeah too,
So it was a fluke for both FSU being that
good in Alabama being that bad. And then you have
Florida who started out really hot against Texas A and
M tough task for them. They've had one of the toughest,
if not the toughest schedules in college football, but they
just cannot get out of their own way. This quarterback
(05:38):
that I thought, here I go again. I thought TJ.
Lagway was going to be the man in college football
and really take Florida to the next level. He's been terrible. Yeah,
absolutely terrible. Cannot convert first downs, just sales passes over
guy's head. He's not a willing runner, which you kind
of have to be in today's college football world. So
they end up losing. You see, f goes on the
(06:00):
road to Cincinnati, all excited about the return of Scott
Frost and they've lost three in a row. Any good news,
it's sixty degrees outside this morning. He gave you a
good bit.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Let's move into the NFL. How'd your Miami Dolphins fair?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, so the bad news continues. The Dolphins throw a
game winning touchdown in the corner of the end zone,
forty five seconds left on the clock. All you have
to do is stop the Chargers. They don't even have timeouts.
What are they gonna do? They just go right down
the field.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're gonna run three plays and kick a field goal
and win.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Through the ball to the outside to Ladi. Mcconkee joked
one defender and then ran up the field for forty
yards one playoff I think, and then they drained the
clock and they kicked the field goal.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well I think it was one game. One or two
plays get him in that position. That was it was
all done.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, they had one first down play went south for
the Chargers, and I thought, okay, here we go. I
was sitting I'm watching the game with my kid, and
my five year old son is just now to the
point where he gets excited about when football's on because
he knows that I get excited about it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
He is five.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He's five. Yeah, it's crazy, right, Oh my god. So
he's sitting with me and and I go, look, the
Dolphins are on. He goes, ooh, the Dolphins go. Let's
go Dolphins. He starts his own little chant, it's so cute.
And then uh, the Dolphins score touchdown and we're jubilant,
and I am. Then he goes and he's playing with
his toys. He doesn't even see the Chargers go down
(07:24):
the field, but he looks.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Up and that's the arrogance that cost the team.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Locked in and can't I gotta stay locked in. He
looks up and he sees that the Chargers now have
more points and he looks at me, dead in my face.
I am not making this up, And he goes, Dad,
why aren't the Dolphins good? Question? Have you seen the
beautiful stadium? Launched into an unsponsored sixty minute podcast.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Jacksonville Jaguars also have a bad day. It was kind
of a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Twenty twelve. What a weird score?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, they I think they really shot themselves in the foot.
They had an opportunity to get back in the game.
Travis Hunter, their prized second overall pick, stepping on the
line of scrimmage as Trevor Lawrence hikes the ball, throws
a beautiful deep ball to Brian Thomas Junior. They've had
trouble connecting so far on the year. This was the
moment touchdown the Jags are back in it, and they
(08:25):
call a penalty for off sides because Travis Hunter didn't
line up right now, and so the play didn't even count,
and they had a really hard time gaining momentum after that.
Just errors on top of errors. And that's kind of
been the case for Jacksonville this year. They have not
been a perfect team. A lot of penalties. They third
worst penalized team in the NFL so far through the season.
(08:47):
They keep winning the turnover battle, and they keep overcoming
the fact that Trevor Lawrence puts them in bad positions routinely.
They beat the Chiefs on Monday Night Football last week,
weren't able to overcome it this time, so they end
up losing. Here's the good news, though, because Sabrina was
asking for it, Hi. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are awesome,
and Baker Mayfield has put himself firmly in the discussion
(09:08):
as an MVP candidate.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Even the governor agrees with that.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Bron argue that third and fourteen play yesterday will be
one of the most replayed plays of the entire year.
That was as unbelievable. I mean, at the end of
that play, I'm like could you adopt me, Just adopt me.
I'm gonna have your last name. It was unbelievable, and
it's so cool to hear him get his due because
(09:34):
now it's like not just fans saying it, now all
these commentators do.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They are full on. They have loaded up the Baker.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Bus and they're headed to the Hall of Fame with
this guy because they can't stop falling over themselves about
the grit of this dude.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is fun to watch. This is one of the
most fun NFL football teams to watch.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And they continue to deal with all these injuries. They
had Mike Evans out yesterday, Chris Godwin was out, Yeah,
Pluckey Irving their best running back, he was out, Bucks out,
and he had Luke Kettkey on the offensive line. So
they were dealing with injuries all over the place. And
then in the middle of the game, a Mecha Buka,
who's been their best wide receiver this year, rookie out
of Ohio State, he goes out with an injury. Now
(10:13):
it looks like he's gonna miss time, and you've got
Baker Mayfield throwing touchdown passes. I watch football religiously, people,
I don't know if you can tell. Okay, he was
throwing touchdown passes to people yesterday. I had never heard
of Yeah, I'm not sure that Baker had heard of them.
He's just like, oh, your last name is Johnson, I'll
touch on you're less. He threw a touchdown pass to
two different Johnson's. Did not even know these guys were on.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
The team dueling Johnson Johnson a special channel to see that.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Mike Johnson, Tez Johnson, Johnson and Johnson. He's handing touchdown
passes out to everybody. He was phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
How about this young receivers crew, DoD There's no joke.
That catch made in the end zone. That fingertip catch
was like bananas. That's like that's like stuff you see
from like the biggest names ever. Yeah know why because
they don't have that ct.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah right, well that helps, Uh they do at the
Lions this Sunday, though, that's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A fun football It is gonna be a fun football game.
Lions have a tough, tough night last night. Yeah, Kansas City,
they got on Kansas City. Finally they look like the
old Kansas City. I think people started writing them off
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Too fasty Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I think what happened was Mahomes heard I broke my
own rule of never betting against him, and that's exactly
what happened. I bet, I bet against the Mahomes and
and he showed me why.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I was able to cash in on that one last night,
So felt good about that. But we'll see how tonight goes.
We have the Atlanta Falcons. I like the Falcons, by
the way, plus four and a half to night if
you wanted something on the hard Rock app and and
then the Commanders in the and the Bears. I leaned Commanders,
But for me, the best bet of the night is
the Falcons. The Falcons defense has quietly been one of
the best in the NFL, and the Bills have looked
(11:45):
a little bit shaky the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So that goes for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I do want to get some magic time in here,
because obviously preseason's going on right now. The magic season
will be here before you know it. This basketball team
has really really kind of taken lumps over so many years.
It looks like finally we have a roster and a
coach and a and a management team that really want
this team to succeed. They look pretty good in preseason
from what you've seen. Yeah, you know you're part of
that whole crew over there. I mean, is the hype
(12:11):
as we is? It?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is it real?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
This year? Are we seeing what looks to be a
I mean again, no better year for the Magic to
be in this position because of the injuries we have
in the East, that's unfortunate, but you know, it just
is what it is. But it looks like a really
good pathway for the Magic to make a real dent
in the East this year.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I want to see these guys come together quickly this year.
Desmond Bayne was the big acquisition. They traded for him.
They traded away Contavious Caldwell, Pulp, Cole Anthony, multiple first
round picks. This has to work. He's one of the
better players in the NBA. They need his three point shooting,
they need his facilitation, all of that. It has to
(12:49):
work because if he's not, really he's not the third
best player on the team, they're not going to reach
their ultimate potential. As good as the team has looked
in the preseason, how you look in the pres is
very much based on who is the other team willing
to throw out there in the preseason, the Magic have
not been playing teams that are fully stocked. They played
(13:09):
a seventy six ers team a few days ago that
played pretty much no One and then they boat raised him.
It doesn't mean anything. Is the Magic are using it
as a tune up game and the other team is
using it like it's like a waste of time for them.
So it's all relative as far as that goes. Desmond
Baynes so far has not looked great and so you
don't want to draw any conclusions based on what you
(13:31):
see in preseason, good or bad. But it was just
a reminder that just because you add the name, that
doesn't mean you get the production. Sure, so I would
look for that early on in the season because if
he comes along and he fits this team like a
glove and he plays great, they can be as good
as anybody. But if he's not, then they're going to
settle into the middle of the East.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
It's going to be just like last year then, because
what they've done is he just added a three point
shooting and without it, that's what we had last year.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well that's what they.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Thought they added with KCP and he couldn't make threes anymore, right,
sometimes if you want to be a paranoid Magic fan,
sometimes you feel like it's the is it the jersey?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Is it me?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Am I causing this? Nobody can make threes. They struggled
with that in the preseason, and hopefully they're able to
overcome that by the time the regular season starts. October
twenty second home game against the Miami Heat.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
It started not a bad way to start the you
guys give it up good laugh for brand of cravits
right there.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
On ninety six nine the game.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'll give it good and loud to wing House, good

Oh he's a good seen you buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
There he is Brian Brian Brandon Kravitz right there, ninety
six to nine the game or Brian Kravitz, whichever grank
God a ton of a ton of there you go. There,
go on, man, good lord, I didn't see speak anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
My name has been I think all of the things
that you just spat out, I think coherent as it
was still answer to it.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Ray Trinley up next on The Jim Colbert Show, good
job
Hey, guys, I hope you guys are doing well.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
So if i'm Mark Chances his lawyer, I'm telling him
you'll claim CTE and just tell them you can have
my body after I'm dead and check and make sure
if I don't have brain damage. But you guys will
have to wait until I'm dead. I have CTK bye.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
One way to do it. One more for.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Y'all can check me on this. But uh, Sammy Haguard
did that song. I've done everything for you, You've done
nothing for me. Rick Springfield way before Rick Springfield got
famous for it.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That's all army anybody. That's all you need to say.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
He's a good guy.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
Yeah. Yeah, our friend lt You guys remember her of
her hard rock cafe there.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
She's the greatest.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
She said that she and her husband Mike, who's also
one of the coolest dudes ever want somebody to go
to the contest, and they got to go down to
uh Cobobbo and hang out with him and stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It is disgusting.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Why if they buy someone out like this, does that
mean the alumni association is going to start making the
round saying, you know, we need just a.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Little bit more.

time donors.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah yeah, yeah sure.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
And these, yeah, these programs they have, they have so
many rich boosters that they allocate money to different things.
And people want their name on a billing. Some people
want the best quarterback that's available, and there's just there's
so much money that's flying around right now. But Penn
State invested big time to be really good. They were
my preseason I'm egg on my phase. I'll tell you
what I'm right. I'll tell you when I'm wrong. I
(04:14):
had them as my national champion. Really the season started over.

So they got a big win against and just because

against Alabama to start the season. Fraud Boy, is that
feeling like a mirage.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I was talking to some guys playing golf this weekend
about that what a street mirage that was.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
It's a distant memory. And Alabama is pretty good yeah too,
So it was a fluke for both FSU being that
good in Alabama being that bad. And then you have
Florida who started out really hot against Texas A and
M tough task for them. They've had one of the toughest,
if not the toughest schedules in college football, but they
just cannot get out of their own way. This quarterback
(05:38):
that I thought, here I go again. I thought TJ.
Lagway was going to be the man in college football
and really take Florida to the next level. He's been terrible. Yeah,
absolutely terrible. Cannot convert first downs, just sales passes over
guy's head. He's not a willing runner, which you kind
of have to be in today's college football world. So
they end up losing. You see, f goes on the
(06:00):
road to Cincinnati, all excited about the return of Scott
Frost and they've lost three in a row. Any good news,
it's sixty degrees outside this morning. He gave you a
good bit.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Let's move into the NFL. How'd your Miami Dolphins fair?
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Okay, so the bad news continues. The Dolphins throw a
game winning touchdown in the corner of the end zone,
forty five seconds left on the clock. All you have
to do is stop the Chargers. They don't even have timeouts.
What are they gonna do? They just go right down
the field.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
They're gonna run three plays and kick a field goal
and win.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Through the ball to the outside to Ladi. Mcconkee joked
one defender and then ran up the field for forty
yards one playoff I think, and then they drained the
clock and they kicked the field goal.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
Well I think it was one game. One or two
plays get him in that position. That was it was
all done.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah, they had one first down play went south for
the Chargers, and I thought, okay, here we go. I
was sitting I'm watching the game with my kid, and
my five year old son is just now to the
point where he gets excited about when football's on because
he knows that I get excited about it.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
He is five.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
He's five. Yeah, it's crazy, right, Oh my god. So
he's sitting with me and and I go, look, the
Dolphins are on. He goes, ooh, the Dolphins go. Let's
go Dolphins. He starts his own little chant, it's so cute.
And then uh, the Dolphins score touchdown and we're jubilant,
and I am. Then he goes and he's playing with
his toys. He doesn't even see the Chargers go down
(07:24):
the field, but he looks.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Up and that's the arrogance that cost the team.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Locked in and can't I gotta stay locked in. He
looks up and he sees that the Chargers now have
more points and he looks at me, dead in my face.
I am not making this up, And he goes, Dad,
why aren't the Dolphins good? Question? Have you seen the
beautiful stadium? Launched into an unsponsored sixty minute podcast.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Jacksonville Jaguars also have a bad day. It was kind
of a weird thing.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Twenty twelve. What a weird score?
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah, they I think they really shot themselves in the foot.
They had an opportunity to get back in the game.
Travis Hunter, their prized second overall pick, stepping on the
line of scrimmage as Trevor Lawrence hikes the ball, throws
a beautiful deep ball to Brian Thomas Junior. They've had
trouble connecting so far on the year. This was the
moment touchdown the Jags are back in it, and they
(08:25):
call a penalty for off sides because Travis Hunter didn't
line up right now, and so the play didn't even count,
and they had a really hard time gaining momentum after that.
Just errors on top of errors. And that's kind of
been the case for Jacksonville this year. They have not
been a perfect team. A lot of penalties. They third
worst penalized team in the NFL so far through the season.
(08:47):
They keep winning the turnover battle, and they keep overcoming
the fact that Trevor Lawrence puts them in bad positions routinely.
They beat the Chiefs on Monday Night Football last week,
weren't able to overcome it this time, so they end
up losing. Here's the good news, though, because Sabrina was
asking for it, Hi. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are awesome,
and Baker Mayfield has put himself firmly in the discussion
(09:08):
as an MVP candidate.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Even the governor agrees with that.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Bron argue that third and fourteen play yesterday will be
one of the most replayed plays of the entire year.
That was as unbelievable. I mean, at the end of
that play, I'm like could you adopt me, Just adopt me.
I'm gonna have your last name. It was unbelievable, and
it's so cool to hear him get his due because
(09:34):
now it's like not just fans saying it, now all
these commentators do.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
They are full on. They have loaded up the Baker.
Speaker 5 (09:40):
Bus and they're headed to the Hall of Fame with
this guy because they can't stop falling over themselves about
the grit of this dude.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
It is fun to watch. This is one of the
most fun NFL football teams to watch.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
And they continue to deal with all these injuries. They
had Mike Evans out yesterday, Chris Godwin was out, Yeah,
Pluckey Irving their best running back, he was out, Bucks out,
and he had Luke Kettkey on the offensive line. So
they were dealing with injuries all over the place. And
then in the middle of the game, a Mecha Buka,
who's been their best wide receiver this year, rookie out
of Ohio State, he goes out with an injury. Now
(10:13):
it looks like he's gonna miss time, and you've got
Baker Mayfield throwing touchdown passes. I watch football religiously, people,
I don't know if you can tell. Okay, he was
throwing touchdown passes to people yesterday. I had never heard
of Yeah, I'm not sure that Baker had heard of them.
He's just like, oh, your last name is Johnson, I'll
touch on you're less. He threw a touchdown pass to
two different Johnson's. Did not even know these guys were on.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
The team dueling Johnson Johnson a special channel to see that.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Mike Johnson, Tez Johnson, Johnson and Johnson. He's handing touchdown
passes out to everybody. He was phenomenal.
Speaker 5 (10:45):
How about this young receivers crew, DoD There's no joke.
That catch made in the end zone. That fingertip catch
was like bananas. That's like that's like stuff you see
from like the biggest names ever. Yeah know why because
they don't have that ct.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Yeah right, well that helps, Uh they do at the
Lions this Sunday, though, that's gonna be.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A fun football It is gonna be a fun football game.
Lions have a tough, tough night last night. Yeah, Kansas City,
they got on Kansas City. Finally they look like the
old Kansas City. I think people started writing them off
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Too fasty Yeah, I think.
Speaker 5 (11:14):
I think what happened was Mahomes heard I broke my
own rule of never betting against him, and that's exactly
what happened. I bet, I bet against the Mahomes and
and he showed me why.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I was able to cash in on that one last night,
So felt good about that. But we'll see how tonight goes.
We have the Atlanta Falcons. I like the Falcons, by
the way, plus four and a half to night if
you wanted something on the hard Rock app and and
then the Commanders in the and the Bears. I leaned Commanders,
But for me, the best bet of the night is
the Falcons. The Falcons defense has quietly been one of
the best in the NFL, and the Bills have looked
(11:45):
a little bit shaky the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
So that goes for sure.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
I do want to get some magic time in here,
because obviously preseason's going on right now. The magic season
will be here before you know it. This basketball team
has really really kind of taken lumps over so many years.
It looks like finally we have a roster and a
coach and a and a management team that really want
this team to succeed. They look pretty good in preseason
from what you've seen. Yeah, you know you're part of
that whole crew over there. I mean, is the hype
(12:11):
as we is? It?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Is it real?
Speaker 5 (12:13):
This year? Are we seeing what looks to be a
I mean again, no better year for the Magic to
be in this position because of the injuries we have
in the East, that's unfortunate, but you know, it just
is what it is. But it looks like a really
good pathway for the Magic to make a real dent
in the East this year.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I want to see these guys come together quickly this year.
Desmond Bayne was the big acquisition. They traded for him.
They traded away Contavious Caldwell, Pulp, Cole Anthony, multiple first
round picks. This has to work. He's one of the
better players in the NBA. They need his three point shooting,
they need his facilitation, all of that. It has to
(12:49):
work because if he's not, really he's not the third
best player on the team, they're not going to reach
their ultimate potential. As good as the team has looked
in the preseason, how you look in the pres is
very much based on who is the other team willing
to throw out there in the preseason, the Magic have
not been playing teams that are fully stocked. They played
(13:09):
a seventy six ers team a few days ago that
played pretty much no One and then they boat raised him.
It doesn't mean anything. Is the Magic are using it
as a tune up game and the other team is
using it like it's like a waste of time for them.
So it's all relative as far as that goes. Desmond
Baynes so far has not looked great and so you
don't want to draw any conclusions based on what you
(13:31):
see in preseason, good or bad. But it was just
a reminder that just because you add the name, that
doesn't mean you get the production. Sure, so I would
look for that early on in the season because if
he comes along and he fits this team like a
glove and he plays great, they can be as good
as anybody. But if he's not, then they're going to
settle into the middle of the East.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
It's going to be just like last year then, because
what they've done is he just added a three point
shooting and without it, that's what we had last year.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Well that's what they.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Thought they added with KCP and he couldn't make threes anymore, right,
sometimes if you want to be a paranoid Magic fan,
sometimes you feel like it's the is it the jersey?
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Is it me?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Am I causing this? Nobody can make threes. They struggled
with that in the preseason, and hopefully they're able to
overcome that by the time the regular season starts. October
twenty second home game against the Miami Heat.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
It started not a bad way to start the you
guys give it up good laugh for brand of cravits
right there.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
On ninety six nine the game.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'll give it good and loud to wing House, good
food beautifully served three Central Florida locations. Great food, cold drinks,
unbeatable value served on the side of Winghouse. Trump.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Oh he's a good seen you buddy, Thank you.
Speaker 5 (14:39):
There he is Brian Brian Brandon Kravitz right there, ninety
six to nine the game or Brian Kravitz, whichever grank
God a ton of a ton of there you go. There,
go on, man, good lord, I didn't see speak anymore.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
My name has been I think all of the things
that you just spat out, I think coherent as it
was still answer to it.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Let me let me try you this.
