Speaker 1 (00:01):
Our two of the program commences.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have a Spurs schedule and they play any two
games again and you can get it. You can see
it on spurs dot com on all the other sites
out there that have the NBA schedule up. They open
the season with the Mavericks, and I think we figured
out there's thirteen back to backs that the Spurs will
(00:24):
play this year. Fifteen I think it's fifteen, pretty sure.
Fourteen too many? Are fifteen too many?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It is.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
When they go to the Andy Everett scheduling modeled, things
will be way better.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
The one that I saw that was very concerning. They
have another like I think it's four games and five
nights or something like that, and both of those are
back to back, and it's not like it's, oh well
it's too off, too off, too off.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah, So but we'll break it down later on Andy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Maybe I don't know how you can break it down,
but we'll talk more about it if we have time.
It's a schedule like all the other ones. It's more
important for those of us that plan for these games, uh,
and for those of you that plan on which games
you're gonna go to. But I would suggest that if
it's the sixth game of three back to backs in
a row that you probably don't want to go to
that one because no one's playing.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's the thing.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
That they're gonna call up the Austin Spurs for that game.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Yeah, that's the thing that that I like to remind
to fans that are not excited about, you know, the
load management thing and stuff like that. You also have
to do your research as well. You can't just assume
that every single player that you want to play. What
a putt by the way, by something somebody called Hogue
(01:40):
hog Hogy Hogy.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
That was like a seig tom hog.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
That was like a seventy sixty seventy foot putt.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
That was such a golf guy. Now I am, I'm.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Paying more intention to to this thing.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
You are, well, I tried to talk about do a
golf show, well or a show, and I'm thinking about golf.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
There you go the one I I could have sworn
that we were gonna do it again this year.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
No International Games. No, not this year.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
No, not this year maybe well maybe hopefully not for
a while.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Wow, as long as the alien is on this team
from France, I have a feeling.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
That's gonna be a thing, dude.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
I mean that the NFL is capitalizing on international games,
and you know, the NBA is all about international So
you know what, I hate to put this out in
the universe, Handy, What if at some point we have
the NBA Emirates Cup and it's all overseas.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
That would actually be better than what it is now. Really, Yeah,
every team goes overseas for a week, plays and plays,
you know, plays the n Cson Tournament in France, Milan, Frankfurt, Munich, London, Paris,
and Monday everybody. Monday, everybody plays a game Wednesday, the
(02:58):
fifteen winners, you know, give somebody to buy or whatever,
and whittle it down and over a week. That to me,
that would make way more sense than trying to do
this in NBA arenas. Okay, it would actually increase the
number of games you play too, because you can still
play eighty two in the United States and play four
extra ones. Or you know, when the league goes to
(03:18):
thirty two, which it's going to. When the league goes
to thirty two teams, you could actually send all thirty
two teams to Europe for a week and have everybody
go to like London and Paris, and you know, maybe
maybe Germany. And if you play a noon game of
three o'clock game, a six o'clock game, in a nine
o'clock game, and then Wednesday we do the same thing
(03:40):
and Friday. Where so you go from you go from
thirty two to sixteen to eight to four to two,
four games.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
You're good. You got your champion. Five games. That would
be good.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I would I would be way more on board with
that than I would this nonsense. I'm playing them, it's
part of the regular season.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
You really caught me off guard. I was not expecting
you to be on board with that.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Well, I'm not on board really with any of it.
But if you're gonna make it matter, then make it
matter in Europe where people actually care about basketball in December,
as opposed to those who are gonna still be watching football.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Here, Hey, I care about basketball in December.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
You do, But if the Cowboys and the Spurs are
both playing, what are you watching besides both.
Speaker 4 (04:16):
Picture and picture?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (04:18):
I'm watching both, but you already the end.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
But part of your attention is on football. That's my point.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
See, in this business, though, you have to be able
to multitask Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
If I didn't multitask, i'd sleep with thirty minutes a night.
So there you go, all right? The and I L
and transfer portal has been a big deal in college
sports for years, and there's a coach at Northern Illinois
football coach Thomas Hammock went on a rant this week,
and here's what he had to say about his players
and what they're missing with all this transfer and the
(04:49):
money hungry world that we live in.
Speaker 5 (04:52):
To be honest with you, I love the challenge. You know.
It don't bother to me one bit because you know what,
in life, you're gonna make decisions right. Sometimes it's gonna
work in your favor, and sometimes it's not. I told
our team the other day, you know, we lost all
these guys. Let's see who plays. So it's all good
when people put it on Twitter. Hey, all glory to God.
I'm going on the transfer portal. Let's see if they play.
(05:14):
How many other guys gonna play or travel or get snaps?
You know, I was thinking I was gonna tweet something
the other day, a picture of me and say, you
know what, I enjoyed my college experience. I didn't get
one dime, but the lessons I learned was more valuable
than any money you can ever pay me. And I
appreciate that because that is long term. People are losing
(05:35):
the fact that this is short term. I coach in
the National Football League for five years. Five years, right,
don't lose fact, don't lose focus of what the long term.
Get your degree, learn valuable lesson that's going to help
you in the long term of your life. That's the
whole purpose. This is a transition from being a kid
(05:56):
to a grown up. And I hope people don't lose
focus of that. Everybody's talking about everything else besides what
is the most important thing for going to college? Because
if you going to college to go get a couple
of dollars, you might have to go get a job.
This is too hard to go get a couple dollars.
Learn the lesson that you need to learn to be
successful in life for the next forty to fifty years
(06:18):
of your life. That I would do it again for free,
for free, because of the things I learned. That's why
I'm standing here today because of what I learned in college,
not because of how much somebody gave me. That's what
I would tell people and parents they need to learn
that lesson too. Stop trying to live through your kids.
Teach your kids what are the things they need to
(06:39):
learn to be successful. That's what I'm telling my kids.
I don't care about no nil, no revenue share. I
can care less. You need to learn things in college
to get you prepared for life, to be a father,
a husband, to work, everything else. Those are the most
important things. That's what people are missing. In my opinion,
(07:00):
just my opinion.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
All right, some thoughts on this.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I don't disagree with him, but I'm going to give
you an example where there are players all over the
country that have made a decision that they're tired of
traveling and they want to stay at a school that
they're at. They're close to home or close enough to home.
They enjoy the opportunities that they have where they're at, and.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They're starters on their team.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
And somebody comes in and says, man, we really like
the way that you played last year. We really think
you can help us out, but you're going to be
a backup in your minutes. Are going to be as
a backup player. Instead of playing thirty six minutes a game,
you're going to play twenty two but we're going to
give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars or one
point two million, or whatever the number is because we can.
(07:56):
I think it's what all all those things he says,
you know, learning discipline, learning toughness, getting over the getting
over the obstacles that you have. Are you going to
go play someplace else? So you're going to sit on
the bench, You're going to travel or not. These athletes
are now in a situation where most of them are
not going pro, especially in basketball. And it's my observation
(08:20):
that basketball players, more than any other athlete, expect to
be playing professional basketball, and many of them will get
that chance because of the overseas opportunities that exist. You
can to all, you know. I think Javon Jackson's in
his seventh year in whatever league he's playing in now,
and he's made two hundred one thousand plus a year
for the years, way better than any job else he
(08:42):
could get anywhere else. And I would assume he's saving
it smartly, and at some point he's going to retire
a millionaire when he's thirty five years old. And so
I don't begrudge players from that. I do think that
we need to. I do have an issue with a
player who walks in and says I don't like the
fact that I got voted to back up. I'm leaving
and I'm not taking an AIEL money someplace else. I'm
(09:04):
just gonna go where the grass I think is greener.
I think competition is what breeds success, and if you're
competing for a job, I think that's important. But I
assure you Thomas Hammock has some of the same issues
that Jeff Traylor has at UTSA, that that any coach
(09:26):
in the American Conference has, that any coach in the
Conference USA has. Anytime you have a great game, anytime
you have a great season, anytime you can put a
highlight reel together, you become the farm club for the
bigger schools. And I don't you cannot make these kids
sit out anymore. That we've deemed that unconstitutional and against
(09:48):
the trade laws, restraint of trade, and until Congress gives
the NC double A that almighty and all needed anti
trust exemption, are gonna be in a situation where this
is gonna this is gonna be the way it is.
So I think what he says is is accurate. I
think what he says is good, But at the end
(10:10):
of the day, it's really hard to turn down a
number when there's.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Six zeros behind it or five zeros behind it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, and you know, we know that for the most part,
some of not all, but some of these young men
and women who are talented enough at times are coming
from a poverty, you know, a lower income family at times,
and this is their way to to better not only
(10:39):
themselves but their but their family.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I don't begrudge like.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
A young man or young woman who says, hey, Team
A is gonna give me three hundred thousand dollars. Mom
and dad are struggling working two jobs with my brothers
and sisters. This is going to be generational wealth that
will help us get back on our feet. I don't
begrudge that. It's the ones like we talk about it
(11:06):
all the time. Dj ugule Ale who's in the NFL,
who transferred like seven million times. You know, Nico Iomaioleva
from Tennessee that transferred to UCLA, who actually lost money
to go over there, but was transferring because of money
because I guess he didn't like what he was getting
paid at Tennessee anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, he didn't I I he he was trying to
negotiate for more. You know, he was making a million
and he wanted two million. This isn't the NFL. You've
already signed an agreement. We don't have it. You don't
have an agent room. Even if you do, we're not
gonna we're not gonna get into a bidding war with
you on how much money you're gonna get paid. This
is what you're gonna get. And this is a one
(11:46):
time deal, and we're not gonna give you more after
the fact, and the and and the problem I have
with DJ and other players like him.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Uh EJ.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Woner is gonna be on his third team in three years,
and I'm not sure there wasn't a fourth team somewhere
along the way. But the idea that you can go
from one school to the next.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Are we even looking at their transcripts to see if
they're on progress towards graduation. I understand they're not there
for education, they're there to play football, But at some
point we have to play at least a little bit
of homage to the fact that that's the whole idea
behind the thing, is that we're trying to we're trying
to play football.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, look at JT.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Daniels.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, I think he either what did he started
out at usc and then got beaten out by Keaton
Slovas and then went to Georgia or vice versa, and
then wound up at Rice like he was on his
fourth team in four years as well. So it's I
I became a fan though of the of this coach
because again he talked about, yes you can, you can
(12:47):
get paid up front, but what is that gonna do
for you? If you know tomorrow boom, you twist the
leg and you're and the leg's done.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, it's at least you have money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That that that's the the And when you grow up
in a family that has no money, and I can
tell you from the experience I've had around players, they
don't have money. Now somebody's paying for a cell phone,
but it's probably not them, and if it is, it's
one of the one of the cheapest plans they can get.
Basically it calls texts and tweets and that's about it.
(13:20):
But they don't have cars, they don't have a lot
of clothes, they don't have a lot of They just
don't have access to money, and the smaller schoolers are
trying to scrape up every ounce that they can get,
but it's a lot harder for them to do that
from the big boys.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So this is not going to change.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I'm sure he's disappointed that some of his best
players are going somewhere else, but whether they get to play.
You know, Tray Moore, here's an example for Tray Moore,
and I think the world of Trade Moore. He's one
of the greatest guys that utsa's ever recruited. So a
couple of years ago, he's offered to go to Texas
for whatever he got, and UTSA couldn't come anywhere near
recruiting him. So Trade Moore led the nation in sacks
(13:58):
in twenty twenty three with fourteen. He didn't have fourteen
sacks last year at Texas. Now, yes, I think he's
going to still get drafted, but I think that there
would have been teams in the NFL that would have
drafted him in the second or third round because they
kept seeing this guy always gets the quarterback. This guy
always gets the quarterback. Yeah, it's the American Conference, but
(14:19):
he's always getting to the quarterback. Now, that he's playing
in a tougher conference. We're seeing that it's harder for
him to get to the quarterback, and Texas rotates more
at that position, so it's harder for him to get
to the quarterback. And he may have three or four
sacks a year and not lead the nation in rushing.
So he got paid and gatl unless he gets hurt.
In case he gets hurt, whatever he got and he
can put that in the bank and earn eight percent
(14:40):
for the next thirty years if he's smart with it.
But sometimes when maybe he just wanted to be a
long horn and played for the long Horns, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That's perfectly okay.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But I think that when you're at one school and
you can put up numbers, you can elevate your potential
draft status just as much as you can playing for
the bigger team, where you're going to get fewer snaps
and less opportunity needs to make plays.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, by the way, Javan is overseas, like you mentioned
in Germany.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
He is still currently with the.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Wurzburg Baskets of the Basketball Bundesliga in Germany, so there
you go.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He is one of the most entertaining basketball players i've
ever got to watch.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I didn't realize he's Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh yeah, did not really when he when he dropped
thirty one on Trey Young at the against Ou in
twenty seventeen, his freshman year, there was a newspaper reporter
in Oklahoma City that dubbed him the Puerto Rican Allen Iverson,
that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Company right now, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
All right, let's get into some more football discussion. The
NFC North that's next. It's the Andy Everett Show. On
the ticket
Our two of the program commences.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have a Spurs schedule and they play any two
games again and you can get it. You can see
it on spurs dot com on all the other sites

Fourteen too many? Are fifteen too many?
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It is.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
When they go to the Andy Everett scheduling modeled, things
will be way better.
Speaker 3 (00:34):

back to back, and it's not like it's, oh well
it's too off, too off, too off.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Yeah, So but we'll break it down later on Andy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Maybe I don't know how you can break it down,
but we'll talk more about it if we have time.
It's a schedule like all the other ones. It's more
important for those of us that plan for these games, uh,
and for those of you that plan on which games
you're gonna go to. But I would suggest that if
it's the sixth game of three back to backs in

that one because no one's playing.
Speaker 4 (01:13):

the way that you played last year. We really think
you can help us out, but you're going to be
a backup in your minutes. Are going to be as
a backup player. Instead of playing thirty six minutes a game,
you're going to play twenty two but we're going to
give you seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars or one
point two million, or whatever the number is because we can.
(07:56):
I think it's what all all those things he says,
you know, learning discipline, learning toughness, getting over the getting
over the obstacles that you have. Are you going to
go play someplace else? So you're going to sit on
the bench, You're going to travel or not. These athletes
are now in a situation where most of them are
not going pro, especially in basketball. And it's my observation
(08:20):
that basketball players, more than any other athlete, expect to
be playing professional basketball, and many of them will get
that chance because of the overseas opportunities that exist. You
can to all, you know. I think Javon Jackson's in
his seventh year in whatever league he's playing in now,
and he's made two hundred one thousand plus a year
for the years, way better than any job else he
(08:42):
could get anywhere else. And I would assume he's saving
it smartly, and at some point he's going to retire
a millionaire when he's thirty five years old. And so
I don't begrudge players from that. I do think that
we need to. I do have an issue with a
player who walks in and says I don't like the
fact that I got voted to back up. I'm leaving
and I'm not taking an AIEL money someplace else. I'm
(09:04):
just gonna go where the grass I think is greener.
I think competition is what breeds success, and if you're
competing for a job, I think that's important. But I
assure you Thomas Hammock has some of the same issues
that Jeff Traylor has at UTSA, that that any coach
(09:26):
in the American Conference has, that any coach in the
Conference USA has. Anytime you have a great game, anytime
you have a great season, anytime you can put a
highlight reel together, you become the farm club for the
bigger schools. And I don't you cannot make these kids
sit out anymore. That we've deemed that unconstitutional and against
(09:48):
the trade laws, restraint of trade, and until Congress gives
the NC double A that almighty and all needed anti
trust exemption, are gonna be in a situation where this
is gonna this is gonna be the way it is.
So I think what he says is is accurate. I
think what he says is good, But at the end
(10:10):
of the day, it's really hard to turn down a
number when there's.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Six zeros behind it or five zeros behind it.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Yeah, and you know, we know that for the most part,
some of not all, but some of these young men
and women who are talented enough at times are coming
from a poverty, you know, a lower income family at times,
and this is their way to to better not only
(10:39):
themselves but their but their family.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
I don't begrudge like.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
A young man or young woman who says, hey, Team
A is gonna give me three hundred thousand dollars. Mom
and dad are struggling working two jobs with my brothers
and sisters. This is going to be generational wealth that
will help us get back on our feet. I don't
begrudge that. It's the ones like we talk about it
(11:06):
all the time. Dj ugule Ale who's in the NFL,
who transferred like seven million times. You know, Nico Iomaioleva
from Tennessee that transferred to UCLA, who actually lost money
to go over there, but was transferring because of money
because I guess he didn't like what he was getting
paid at Tennessee anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, he didn't I I he he was trying to
negotiate for more. You know, he was making a million
and he wanted two million. This isn't the NFL. You've
already signed an agreement. We don't have it. You don't
have an agent room. Even if you do, we're not
gonna we're not gonna get into a bidding war with
you on how much money you're gonna get paid. This
is what you're gonna get. And this is a one
(11:46):
time deal, and we're not gonna give you more after
the fact, and the and and the problem I have
with DJ and other players like him.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Uh EJ.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Woner is gonna be on his third team in three years,
and I'm not sure there wasn't a fourth team somewhere
along the way. But the idea that you can go
from one school to the next.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Year after year after year.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Are we even looking at their transcripts to see if
they're on progress towards graduation. I understand they're not there
for education, they're there to play football, But at some
point we have to play at least a little bit
of homage to the fact that that's the whole idea
behind the thing, is that we're trying to we're trying
to play football.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Well, look at JT.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Daniels.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
You know, I think he either what did he started
out at usc and then got beaten out by Keaton
Slovas and then went to Georgia or vice versa, and
then wound up at Rice like he was on his
fourth team in four years as well. So it's I
I became a fan though of the of this coach
because again he talked about, yes you can, you can
(12:47):
get paid up front, but what is that gonna do
for you? If you know tomorrow boom, you twist the
leg and you're and the leg's done.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, it's at least you have money in the bank.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
That that that's the the And when you grow up
in a family that has no money, and I can
tell you from the experience I've had around players, they
don't have money. Now somebody's paying for a cell phone,
but it's probably not them, and if it is, it's
one of the one of the cheapest plans they can get.
Basically it calls texts and tweets and that's about it.
(13:20):
But they don't have cars, they don't have a lot
of clothes, they don't have a lot of They just
don't have access to money, and the smaller schoolers are
trying to scrape up every ounce that they can get,
but it's a lot harder for them to do that
from the big boys.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
So this is not going to change.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I'm sure he's disappointed that some of his best
players are going somewhere else, but whether they get to play.
You know, Tray Moore, here's an example for Tray Moore,
and I think the world of Trade Moore. He's one
of the greatest guys that utsa's ever recruited. So a
couple of years ago, he's offered to go to Texas
for whatever he got, and UTSA couldn't come anywhere near
recruiting him. So Trade Moore led the nation in sacks
(13:58):
in twenty twenty three with fourteen. He didn't have fourteen
sacks last year at Texas. Now, yes, I think he's
going to still get drafted, but I think that there
would have been teams in the NFL that would have
drafted him in the second or third round because they
kept seeing this guy always gets the quarterback. This guy
always gets the quarterback. Yeah, it's the American Conference, but
(14:19):
he's always getting to the quarterback. Now, that he's playing
in a tougher conference. We're seeing that it's harder for
him to get to the quarterback, and Texas rotates more
at that position, so it's harder for him to get
to the quarterback. And he may have three or four
sacks a year and not lead the nation in rushing.
So he got paid and gatl unless he gets hurt.
In case he gets hurt, whatever he got and he
can put that in the bank and earn eight percent
(14:40):
for the next thirty years if he's smart with it.
But sometimes when maybe he just wanted to be a
long horn and played for the long Horns, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That's perfectly okay.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
But I think that when you're at one school and
you can put up numbers, you can elevate your potential
draft status just as much as you can playing for
the bigger team, where you're going to get fewer snaps
and less opportunity needs to make plays.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah, by the way, Javan is overseas, like you mentioned
in Germany.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
He is still currently with the.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Wurzburg Baskets of the Basketball Bundesliga in Germany, so there
you go.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He is one of the most entertaining basketball players i've
ever got to watch.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
I didn't realize he's Puerto Rican.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Oh yeah, did not really when he when he dropped
thirty one on Trey Young at the against Ou in
twenty seventeen, his freshman year, there was a newspaper reporter
in Oklahoma City that dubbed him the Puerto Rican Allen Iverson,
that's pretty good.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
That's pretty good.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Company right now, that's pretty good. That's pretty good.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
All right, let's get into some more football discussion. The
NFC North that's next. It's the Andy Everett Show. On
the ticket
