hour for you. I'm upposed to join us yesterday. We
believe he's going to join us today in about twenty minutes,
former NBA champion and.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
US Senator Bill Bradley.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Then we've got Mike Golick Junior at the bottom of
the hour, and then of course shop talk, so power
packed hour you won't want to miss. But let's start
with a little NFL football.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And Jared Golf.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We all know how well things are going for the Lions,
and the conference championship was for the first time in
thirty plus years.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
But this is a business as well, Rob g t
us up on Golf in his contract.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Sure, so Jared Goff is in the NFC champion your game.
Everyone's excited about if Fred Warner called him one of
the great quarterbacks in the NFL this week and he's
picking him up at the press conference. So as a result,
you'd expect then that Jared Goff would like to be
paid as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL,
because I remember he got a big deal with he
did with the Rams and then was trained.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Do you remember what it was? It was four for
one thirty four.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
Yeah, he got paid. So it's not like he never
got a contract.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Right right, So after this season in twenty twenty four,
he will be entering the last year of his contract,
which is twenty twenty four, and he has zero dollars
and guaranteed money left on his contract. Now his capit
isn't that Big only thirty one million next season. But
you guys all know, nobody worth their salt enters into
(02:34):
a season as a lame duck coach, quarterback what have you.
So you gotta expect he's gonna be looking for a
new contract this offseason.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I mean, Rob, if I was the Lions and I
like Jared Goffing, I'm sure they like him.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They have to.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He's done great. I wouldn't bring up the conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Look at he's great.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
At last year's going to be you know, I don't
know what the date is, whether it's in March, whether
it's in the summer, but at some point it's gonna
be guaranteed. He's gonna get paid for his last year.
My point is I'd love to see one more year
of him. But his agent, if he's worth his salt,
which I'm sure he is, is going to bring it
(03:16):
up and Rob, at the end of the day, I
gotta pay the man.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
If you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Can't play around, I gotta pay.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like, what would you be doing?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Okay, you waited all this time to finally get win
some playoff games. You're in the NFC Championship game, and
then the first thing you're gonna do is be like, no,
we're not paying the quarterback. Okay, we wanna start all
over one another nineteen fifty seven, like like, it doesn't
make sense, and it doesn't mean we talked about it, Chris.
The division is only gonna get tougher. I think as
(03:49):
you go forward with Green Bay, No, the Packers are
gonna be better.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay, and then there's a chance of Kayla.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
With the Bears, they finished strong, maybe they got some players,
you got a little better quarter I'm just saying. And
then Minnesota, you know, I don't know where they are
because they're not gonna have have a different quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I don't know where they really fit in.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
But anyway, my point is you had a good coach,
don't mess around with this. Don't like I mean, I
get it. You don't have to give him the make
them the highest paid quarterback in the league. But you
gotta take your day, you know what I mean, Like, no,
I'm not doing that, so that you know, you know
how it works, rob everybody, you know, generally a guy
(04:31):
becomes the highest paid and so that that's what I'm
talking about. I mean, I definitely would love to sign
him at a favorable number.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But whatever the case, he's getting fifty plus. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The interesting thing for him, and I know his average
is what about thirty four million a year over that deal,
which at.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That time was huge now not so much, right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But it isn't like they've had him on this rookie deal, right.
They've had to build around him, you know, from the
get go, with him taking up a lot of the
salary cap, and so that won't be as big of
it an adjustment for them. But it's tough, you know.
(05:13):
But at the end of the day, you have to
have a quarterback. Everybody can't have Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
And so I think I would hold my breath and
sign him because and if they lose to me, Rob,
this game doesn't really have any bearing on it, because
I mean they're expected to lose. They're supposed to lose to,
(05:36):
you know, to the the Niners, So that really.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Should I agree, Chris, I agree, because even if they lose,
it doesn't matter what happens. They've done enough this year
to make you feel good about Jared Golf that the
trade that you made worked out. Even though Stafford went
on and got his Super Bowl, we got that but
the Lions made out as well. And you got Jared Golf.
(06:01):
He's not an old guy, got a few more good
years left in him. And you want and you don't
want to upset the Apple card. Don't make it, Cause Chris,
they've raised ticket prices like sixty percent, so you know
what I mean, like that, like they're cashing out right
on it line. I got Ryan fans friends, Chris, who
(06:24):
have canceled their season tickets for next year.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Really yeah, but even though they're playing, well, that's what
they just when you win.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
They're so mad though that, like they've been fans and
bought season tickets for twenty years when the product was bad.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
And not that they don't expect.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
To, you know, for them to raise the ticket prices,
but to gouge them, do you know what I mean
the first bit of success, you know, and it's sixty
percent like something like that, like like that's a big increase.
This is the Midwest, Chris. You lived in the Midwest.
These are people who are average joes, don't have a
(06:59):
lot of disposable income like that, they're not eating out
of fancy restaurants.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
All the talking about saying all but you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
To your point, Rob, they supported them through the lean time.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't know where they selling out.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
They were, they were close to sellout, you know what
I mean, But they weren't empty seats or like empty sections.
Everyone wanted to sell out, but big crowds always Chris
always twenty years I was, you know, covering and being
there all the time. People supported the Lions, and I
don't I don't expect the Lions to to not try to,
(07:32):
you know, increase their revenue. I get that once you
start winning and all that, but not to gouge or
close out or push out all those fans who have
been supporting you all along.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Do you feel, like Rob, that this is the Lions
are building something. I mean, now they've obviously, you know,
they gotten to the final four, so they they've obviously gone.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
A long way already.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But do you see this as something that's going to
go on for the next few years or you know,
there are always teams that you know they were I mean,
look at Minnesota and I know Kirk Cousins got hurt,
but they were only four and four when he got hurt,
but remember they were thirteen and three d.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You remember they won like five five or so games.
Remember when he got hurt, they went on a run.
And then who was the quarterback who came in the
rocket science?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I mean the.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Astronaut who dies You couldn't finish the job? You remember
then he was exposed. But they weren't going to go no, no,
But I'm just saying, but they want to win four
or five games in a row.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Do you think that they the Lions are building something
where they're going to be, you know, one of those
top teams in the mix for the next you know,
three four years or do you think this could be
a one off?
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I'm just not. I'm not sure yet. I really, I'm
not sure. In the NFL, you know how it goes,
Chris to teams that sometimes, as you say, come out
of nowhere one year and then do they sustain it?
Is it a is it a one time deal?
Speaker 8 (09:09):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Do you fall back in the pack the next year?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Do you people not maybe not take you as seriously
the first time you really step up there, and then
once you do, they change the way they look at you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You know, there's all kinds of stuff. So I'm not
I don't think they're going all the way backwards.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
But do I think they're gonna win the division every year,
and it's the Lions division to lose.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm not there yet now.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Look like I said, I think Green Bay is going
to be a Super Bowl contender next year. But I
also think the Lions will be. Like I think this
is legit. I think they're going to be good. Dan
Campbell's done a great job there. You know, the offense
is among the best in the league. The defense gives
up a ton of passing yards.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
In part Stafford had thro almost three seventy and then fifty.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, but some of that I don't even want to
say in part like it's fifty. But some of that
rob is because they're so good against the run that
teams can't run on them. So they throw the ball
a lot. But they don't give up a ton of
touchdowns and things like that. But they do give up
(10:20):
a ton of passing yards. But I think they'll even
get better on that side of the ball. So I
think they're here to stay. You know, I'm not predicting
a Super Bowl necessarily, but I do think they're going
to be one of those top teams. Like next year,
I think they're gonna be one of the top teams
again in the NFC and have a chance to come
(10:41):
out of the NFC.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
All right, it's the Eye couple, Chris and Rob.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Like I said, we got Bill Bradley, former NBA player.

Our next guest is just an incredibly accomplished figure. Former
NBA champion with the New York Knicks back when they
used to win championships, Hall of Fame basketball player, former
US senator, and now he is the creator and star
(12:28):
of a show that will be streaming on Max on
February first. Let's welcome in Bill Bradley. Bill, it's a
pleasure to have to couple.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Hey, doing you great, Great to have you on.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I was talking about your show. It's gonna be
called Rolling Along. It's an American story. Rolling Along an
American story, and it really talks tou as a one
man show about your childhood, you know, growing up along
the Mississippi River, going to Princeton where you're the best
basketball player in the country. You had a Hall of
(13:04):
Fame career, as I said with the Knicks, eighteen years
in the US Senate and then eventually running for president.
So is really your life story obviously, So tell us
what do you hope that people will take away from
this film.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Well, I remember when we had a group of look
at this and people said, what do you think this
is about? And the people who watch and say, it's
about all of us. It's about love of the game,
it's about love of the country. It's about forgiveness. It's
about failure, it's about joy, it's about sadness, it's about perseverance.
(13:42):
In other words, it embodies all those things that each
of us encounters in our life, and I do it
through my life. And my hope is that people will
see themselves in my own story and then maybe tell
their story because I think, you know, in the divided
times we live in, if we tell each other our stories,
will find a lot in commons and be able to
(14:04):
move forward.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Bill, I.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Love the whole idea of it, because you're right, people
will watch and take different things from it in their lives,
and you know, compare whatever. But I guess today I
always feel like kids do they deal with failure, rejection? Everybody?
(14:30):
Like I just think We're living in this world where
everybody thinks it's an easy road and they look at
social media and hey, they're doing great. If I'm not
doing great at nineteen, I'm a failure and all kinds
of stuff. The pressures of today's kids. Does that worry
you about the idea that back in your day and
when Chris and I were growing up, we knocked our
(14:50):
heads a few times and you pick theirself up and.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
You kept going, well, that's still the way it is.
Nobody went to NBA Championship with out having that experience.
It's a failure somewhere along the way. And you know,
if you ask me what is this film and this
show really about, I say, it's about the kind of
things that typified our NICK teams back when we won championships,
(15:17):
and they're really like four things, and it's to take
responsibility for yourself, respect your fellow human being, disagree with
them honestly and civilly, enjoy their humanity, and never look
down on people you don't understand. That in a nutshell
is the message of the film. And I think that's
(15:38):
real for people today in their lives as it was
in my time or your time or anytime, because those
are human facts. And the more that we understand that
we're all the same human being, we're going to find
things we have in common. And to me, that's the key.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Bill you mentioned you won championships with the Knicks nineteen
seventy nineteen seventy three, and they haven't won since. Why
do you think. I mean, that's fifty years that they
haven't been able to get a championship.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And mostly most times aren't even close.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yeah, well, I my old friend. I thought my old
friend Phil Jackson had the answer, But I guess the
reality is that that's just the fact. You have to
look at each team separately. And I like this current team.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
Ye.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
And the key thing is for a team to develop
the habit of winning. I mean, what is basketball. It's
a game of ball movement and player movement that rewards unselfishness.
Every championship team that wins understands that the ball moves,
the players move, and people are unscolfish. And with the
(16:58):
Nick teams or whomever. If you take a look at
the Warriors when they were playing well a couple of
years ago, that's the way they played. And I think
that the reality is that Nick teams have some pretty
good ingredients to come together here. I think Brunson is
learning how to be a really good point guard. And
I think Randall is good. I mean, I think that
(17:19):
o Gie, the new acquisition, he might be the the
butcher of this team. I don't know for the missing piece,
but you know, once a Knick fan, all, always a Knicks,
So you know I'm for them no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, I love Bill what you said about the game.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It's about ball and player movement, and let's be honest,
you don't see nearly as much of that in today's NBA.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You mentioned the Warriors. They weren't the most talented.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Team in the world until they got kept Ramt, but
they won twice without him.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
But because they have ball in player movement, they were.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Able to run circles around the rest of the league,
which was a lot of IO went on, one lot
of high pick and roll, you know, two man game,
and I think that I and I don't think the
players are selfish, but I think if you just play
high pick and roll all the time and everybody else
spread the floor or ISO, that's a selfish way of playing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And so do you think that they'll get more back.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
To you know, some five I think that's one reason
international you know teams are beating us now and they
come over here and they're the best players because they're
used to playing five man basketball where there's more ball
than player.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Movement, no question about it. They they guess what, you know,
We've sent coaches all over the world for years to
teach people basketball. Guess what they learned. They learned, and
now the players are coming back fundamentally sound and they're
doing well in the NBA. And so we just have
(18:56):
to understand basics. It's a team game.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Anytime you have four guys playing and six guys watching,
that's really not an interesting game to watch, even you
need want to have. I always say the way you
can measure a team is count how many passes they
make when they cross half court, right, If they make
one or two passes their selfish team. If they make
(19:24):
more than two, they got something going. They can keep
the defense off balance by the way they move the
ball in their bodies. And so I think it's pretty
obvious that that's what wins. And I mean, I think
some of the Knicks really get it now, and I
think the coach Kits at Thibodeaux.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
How about the finances and the salaries and whatnot. Obviously
you playing in a different time, I know, I know, team.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Well, hold on, hold on those. When I came into
the league, the average salary was nine thousand and seven
underd dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I believe, I believe.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Now it's like three million. I don't know, so.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, more than that.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
But sometimes when you see some of these guys and
I'm not knocking anybody at times and things to change,
and I'm not one of those hey you kids, get
off my long guy. But when you see like the money,
like guys weren't even stars making thirteen eighteen million dollars
a year, well you just scratch your head and go, man, I.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Wish I was born later. I mean, what would you
have made?
Speaker 10 (20:33):
No?
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I like, I like being born when I was born,
playing with the team that I played. Money is important,
Championships are more important. And I had luck to being
with a great gep of human beings and went to
the mountaintop twice, almost three times, and that's that's what
I remember. I think that these guys make a lot
of money, and that's good, but you know, you can
(20:56):
make a lot of money, but you won't have the
feeling of standing at half court with your fist rays
in the air and chills going up and out and
down your spine, knowing you're the best in the world.
And ultimately, when you're an old man, you're going to
realize you lost something. And so I think the money
is important. I mean, I was the player rep. I
was the union guy. I was the guy that's bought
the owners so we'd have a competitive marketplace. We went
(21:20):
to Congress, we're sured that there would be competition.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Now.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
I used to give a speech saying, let the market
set the rates for what Hoover's not, not the not
the owners. And indeed that's what's happened because it's become
a big sport and the players who are smart. I
don't begrudge anybody making money, and they can make as
much money as they want, as long as the game
is played in a way that I think respects. What's
(21:44):
best about basketball ball movement, player movement, unselfishness.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Bill, great stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
We appreciate your time and good luck with your new film.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Rolling along an amazing.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I want you I want you guys to look at
it on a and tell me what you think we will.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
We will.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It starts on HBO Max February first. Thank you for
your time. We look forward to checking out the.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Thank you guys.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
Okay, right, thank you Bill.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
Steve for the update.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We're the Odd Couple live from the tire Rack dot
com studios. We're waiting on Mike Golick Junior. He's the
host of the Gojo and Goliic podcast. It's on DraftKings.
He's been on the show before and here he is again,
Mike Golick Junior. Mike, Welcome to the old Mike.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
What's going on, guys, good to be back with you.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Go have you back?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Let me ask you this right now, we got the
San Francisco forty nine ers facing Detroit in the NFC
Championship game, and it seems like everybody's been divided on
Brock Purty.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
You've got the camp that says he's not that good.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
He's just another maybe a little upgrade over Jimmy Garoppolo,
but he's just got Kyle Shanahan and a lot of
great players around him, and then you've got the camp
that says, no, he's really good.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I mean, I don't think very many.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
People have gone overboard, but for the most part, there's
another camp saying he's very good and he's adding to
this team, and his numbers show that.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Where you at on.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Brock Perty, I think brock Purty is a very good
player who's grossly outplayed his draft status, physical ability, and
gives this team a great chance to win. Like all
the rest of that stuff has some merit, right. He
came up, like a lot of other quarterbacks that have success,
in a system where he's got a great play caller
as his head coach. He's got plenty of weapons around
him there. But I do think he is a guy,
(23:54):
and using Jimmy Garoppolo sort of as a comparative point,
I do think there are things that he has done
in this offense an improvement on what Jimmy Garoppolo did.
Some of the things that he has done when plays
have broken down. The confidence that he now has im
viewed in him coming up in a healthy system, having
him cut it loose in big moments like that, final
drive against the Green Bay Packers. So listen, he's not
(24:15):
a world beater like Mahomes and the rest of those
freak aliens at the top of the league right now.
But that's not a comparison that's fair to him. At
this point in his career, He's two years in, he
hasn't even started two full seasons, and yet he's going
to have his team and be a part of back
to back NFC championship runs at the very least, so
very good player and a really impressive story.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, but you got to admit, now, Okay, they had
already gone to the Super Bowl without him, Mike, and
he didn't look good for three plus quarters and then
got the big touchdown. What was Shanahan's record, Chris, you
told me in the fourth quarter coming home.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Over zero thirty three?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, zero thirty coming back down in the fourth quarter
and coming back to winning.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
He got the game won there. But my question to
you is.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
This could be a rock party game from the standpoint
that the Lions defense right gives up passing yards, and
we saw the same thing. The Lions gave up a
lot of passing yards to staff Baker Mayfield and Stafford
right So could this come down to Brock Perdy throwing
(25:20):
the football in order to beat the Lions?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Yeah, this has a chance to be a shootout on
both sides. I mean, the forty nine ers rush defense
struggled all year and they're going up against a really
quality offensive line in the Detroit Lions, a running back
in Jamier Gibs. It's been unlocked. And on the other side,
You're absolutely right, the strength of the Lions defense has
been in the front seven. They've got a couple of
really strong pieces there on the d line. But no,
I do think Rock Purdy is in part going to
(25:44):
have to help win them this game. And I know
we spent a lot of time too focusing on the
health of Deebo Samuel on that shoulder, Willie player or not,
how that affects him, how it affected last week's performance,
And I always think it's worth reminding there's a big
difference between having to adjust your game plan on the
fly in the middle of the game, where you expect
Ego to be full go the entire time, and having
a week to prepare the alternative plan where you know
(26:05):
there's a chance that he might not be on the
field for you, and so I do think Kyle Shanahan
is going to have a better grasp of how to
go and allocate touches to other places, how they want
to orchestrate that offense and make sure that Rock Purdy
has that plan and has it down cold. Brock Perdy,
we could talk about a lot of the physical attributes
were we talked about the struggles last week. The one
thing he's done is displayed an aptitude to digest everything
(26:26):
in Kyle Shanahan's offense at a very young age. Like
Jimmy Garoppolo was more of a veteran player when he
got over there, he had at least been around the
league a few years. This has been in the fire
in some pivotal moments pretty quickly. And so I'm going
to give Brock Purdy credit where it's due. He's helped
orchestrate one of the best offense in the regular season
the outside of matchups for the team like Baltimore really
boat raced a lot of its competition in the NFC
(26:48):
and has a good chance of the game where whether
it's not going to be a factor like it was
last week. He struggled a bit with the rain. It
looks like it's going to be drier conditions and a
little bit more favorable.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
How about Baltimore and their defense, hou and its first
playoff gamescoed like for over forty points what was it
forty five or whatever it was, and all they were
able to get was three points off of that Ravens defense.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Mike, how good is that Ravens defense?
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
They didn't even allow touchdown to a team that was
rolling the week before against the good Cleveland Browns defense.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
Yeah there. I mean, this Ravens team in general is
bordering on like all time great by the way that
they've gone through this season. And if they or have
to close the deal, we'll get to have some fun
conversations about where they do rank all time amongst some
of the best teams we've seen this century. But I
think with the Ravens defense, and in comparison to let's
say the Browns defense, if you brought up Brownsvill bangs up.
(27:43):
Towards the end of the year, Miles Garrett, who's the
leader of the pack on that group, had been dealing
with the shoulder for the back half of the season,
wasn't quite as productive. And you know, Jim Schwartz throws
a lot at you, but not nearly as much of
the movement and the varied placement of pieces as you
get from Mike McDonald's Baltimore Rave defense. They are equal
part incredible personnel, right They've gotten the best out of
(28:04):
a guy like Jadavian Clowney, who's still an elite run defender.
Kyle van Ney showed up a ton as a pass
rusher in this last game and could very well again
against the Chiefs unit that I think is weaker on
the edges than they are in the middle. And then
you've got Roquand Smith orchestrating at all. You can put
Kyle Hamilton anywhere in that defense. They've got all pro
caliber players and a lot of pivotal spots down the
(28:25):
spine of that defense, and it gives them incredible versatility,
but at the end of the day, also just great
players to lean on when they've got to buckle down
in obvious situations and get the job done. So it's
it's going to be an excellent chess match, and I'm
not surprised they're a mature group on defense, and for
that Houston Texans team in particular, the number that suck
out to me was eleven to three eleven penalties versus
(28:46):
three penalties committed by the Houston Texans as opposed to
the Ravens. They lost some of that poise in the
favor of what's been a death star of an opponent
in the Baltimore Ravens, and Baltimore showed you the years
of building these things up under Lamar Jackson. Acquiring Roquwand
Smith last year has this team ready and very confident.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
So, Mike, how do you see this game plan out?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There are some that think Baltimore will blow the Chiefs out.
They've blown out nine winning teams this season, which is incredible.
I think the previous record was like seven. And the Chiefs,
on the other hand, never get blown out. Under with
Patrick Mahomes, they've been blown out four times and is
(29:27):
like one hundred and twelve games.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
So how do you see this game plan out?
Speaker 10 (29:32):
I think it's going to be pretty tight. You mentioned
that I got way too much respect for what pat
Andy Reid doing the plosseason especially, and the way Steve Stagnola,
their defensive coordinator, can game plan. Really the quality of
that unit, I think they've got what it takes to
make this thing a bit of a rock fight, sort
of like they wanted to do against Buffalo. I think
weather's going to play a factor in that it's supposed
to be a little bit rainy, a little bit windy
(29:54):
potentially in Baltimore for this game with a low pressure
system going through there. So I still think Baltimore wins
this game. And I think I've seen the number anywhere
around four to four and a half points in the
favor I wouldn't be surprised if they won around that
number because I do think on their best day, they're
the better team. For the Kansas City Chiefs, I think
one of the biggest factors we talked about Deebo Samuel's injury.
(30:15):
On the other side, Joe Tooney, they're all pro left
guard dealing with a tech injury that he suffered in
that last game against the Buffalo Bills. Adam Schefter tweeted
earlier in the week that he seems doubtful, but he's
trying like hell to play in that game. If he's
not in there, that middle of the offensive line, Chiefs,
it's supposed to be the strength of their team, and
if you remember the Baltimore Ravens, that defense it's hard
(30:36):
to get anything through and get anything past them. But
the one team that was somewhat able to was the
Los Angeles Rams, and they did it by running right
down State Street with Kyron Williams in that offensive line.
And so if the Chiefs are compromised up the middle, now,
all of a sudden, Justin Mattabik, that great pass rushing
defensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, has a bit of
an easier time, and you're dealing with a bunch of
guys that have to deal with communication issues at the
(30:58):
most pivotal juncture of their game. I think Baltimore wins
the close one, but I do against all uts. Picking
against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs, I
think I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
I hear you on that. All right. That's Mike Golick Junior.

Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know that, ain't nobody you were talking about whoever, whatever,
whatever you want to in the boss.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It's shop talk.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Try to shop talk here on the AKA, but we
discuss something but outside of the world is sports. This
week's topic comes to us from Hollyweird, where I don't
know if you guys know this, but they remade the
movie Roadhouse, Okay, and it's starring Jake Gillen Hall.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I thought the story though.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
That was the one with was that Patrick Patrick Swayze
the eighties?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Now Jillen Hall being the star is not the story here.
The story is one of the co leads, the supporting
actors in this film, Connor McGregor. And if you watch
the trailer, it's as bad as it sounds because he
just cannot act whatsoever. Really, it's terrible. He's very hammy.
He thinks he's being funny and he's not. It's just
(32:55):
really bad.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He's hamm That sounds familiar, So what is that anyway?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
You're trying to say, I'm a ham Chris talking about Hey,
put some of my mayonnaise on my back.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Here's the question, though, Guys. If it's an action movie,
which you know Roadhouse is and action movies in general,
do you care if the stars can't act Rob Parker, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I care.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I mean, like you want the best. You go to
a movie you're paying your money, you want to see
like you know when like like I always say.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
This, Chris, you're you appreciate this.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
You go to Jamie Fox movie he became way Charles,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like, like, that's that's what acting is supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Where where where you get into the character and you go, man,
if I close my eyes, it sounds like that.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Raychel Washington became Malcolm X.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
You right, and and Will Smith remember gaining away with
Muhammad al League.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Legacy Chris that that.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I gotta be honest. I didn't love Will Smith and
ol League.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
No, but I'm saying, but he bulked up to look
like Kennedy, all that he became.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Him is what I'm just saying.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Rob g So, so I expect people, but don well right,
And here's.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
What I would say.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And I hear you, Rob, because great acting is to
be treasured. But unless you're horrible, then no, I don't
really care if it's an action movie. I mean, right,
how many rappers have become actors? How many athletes have
become rappers? I mean, I gotta be honest on a
(34:42):
certain look. I'm not saying just anybody can be a
great actor, like like you said, Will Smith, who obviously
was an ex rapper, but Dinzel Washington, Harrison Ford, you
know the best, George Clooney all that.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Can act on a decent level. I mean, I guess rappers.
I don't know if they get trained, but all these
rappers L L. Cool, j Ice Cube, Queen Latifa, and
I could go on and on becoming rappers like or
actors like?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Is it it ain't that hard?
Speaker 7 (35:14):
I guess no, it's harder than you think, Chris. Everybody
can't be an actor.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I ain't saying everybody, but I think a lot of
people can at a decent level. You don't have to
I'm not saying you can be a great level.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
In a movie. I've been in a movie. There we go.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
It always comes back to Chris.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
No, I'm just saying, I've been in a movie.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
You're an actor.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I get paid by SAG every year. I get my
little royalty check.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
So what if you paid like a thousand dollars in royalty?
I mean jealous? Don't I am jelly? You are jelly?
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
But I'm all I'm saying is I mean, We've seen
so many ball players and rappers become actors, and I'm
not saying they're the greatest, but I'm I'm just saying,
if you're decent, I can put up with it. You know,
you might not win an Oscar or whatever. But unless
you're just horrible. If you're horrible, then I got a problem.
(36:10):
But it's very few movies, you know, the decent movies
where you see somebody that, Oh my god, they're just terrible.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
I'm sorry, I can't even watch this.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I know I will say I don't think Janet Jackson
is a good actress.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
You didn't like it on Good Times?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
She was great as a little kid on Good Times
and as Charlene she was all right in different strokes
as an adult. And I love Janet Jackson's music, but like,
and why did I get married?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
No, not a good actress.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And if I'm saying you're not a good actor, you
aren't because I'm not like I don't have a great
eye necessarily for actors.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, you think you're a good actor. Well did you
see did you see?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Nobody seen it? Calm like like funny knee slapper. You
gotta check it out, rob g you did see it.
You just realize it.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
It was in the It was in the Penny Ben
dvd Ben in the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Hold on, check this out. That's what my part was.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
The part.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Guess what was across me? Guess who I acted with?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
This dude I acted with was in Straight out of
Compton and he was doctor Dre's brother and that they
got killed and he was in the New Edition movie.
So I'm talking about big time actors that I will
how bad his career crashed, that.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
He was.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Right exactly, oh Man.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
To answer the question, I'm conflicted because on one hand,
like Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a good actor, but it
doesn't prevent me from enjoying his own.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
But you're not there for the dialogue, right, But that's
what you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
But here's here's the thing, though, I have a problem
when you have bad actors who are trying to be
good actors in action movie like The Late Fast in
the Fear of Vin Diesel makes a point to be
very dramatic for like half the movie. It's so bad
it makes you want to turn it off. You can't
even appreciate all the flying cars and stuff because this
guy's trying to be real emotion I'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well that when this bad acting, that's noticeable, and that
ruin can ruin the movie.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
But I'm just saying, just.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Be the action star.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Like right, there's a lot of movies that are decent
that's just decent.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
They're not great. But Alex, where are you?
Speaker 9 (38:28):
I'm in the studio are you?
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I'm I'm sure Alex thinks he could go on there
and act.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
I've been told plenty of times Chris Brustar and I
should take headshots and go act already.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
I've been told you here in La what you waiting for, probably.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
To not get infiltrated with, you know, the whole hollyweird stuff.
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I feel you in that.
Speaker 9 (38:45):
But I'll say this, I think actors should stay in
their lane. Player roles. Don't get dramatic. If you're an
action star, just make it simple. You don't got to
be anything crazy. Look at Arnold Swartzenegger. It's that easy.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
There you go. That was very succinctic with his hands here.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
All right, we got Robert left, tower is around the corner.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Keep it locked.

hour for you. I'm upposed to join us yesterday. We
believe he's going to join us today in about twenty minutes,
former NBA champion and.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
US Senator Bill Bradley.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Then we've got Mike Golick Junior at the bottom of
the hour, and then of course shop talk, so power
packed hour you won't want to miss. But let's start
with a little NFL football.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
And Jared Golf.
Speaker 5 (01:27):
Rob.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
We all know how well things are going for the Lions,
and the conference championship was for the first time in
thirty plus years.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
But this is a business as well, Rob g t
us up on Golf in his contract.
Speaker 6 (01:44):
Sure, so Jared Goff is in the NFC champion your game.
Everyone's excited about if Fred Warner called him one of
the great quarterbacks in the NFL this week and he's
picking him up at the press conference. So as a result,
you'd expect then that Jared Goff would like to be
paid as one of the greatest quarterbacks in the NFL,
because I remember he got a big deal with he
did with the Rams and then was trained.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Do you remember what it was? It was four for
one thirty four.
Speaker 7 (02:08):
Yeah, he got paid. So it's not like he never
got a contract.
Speaker 6 (02:11):
Right right, So after this season in twenty twenty four,
he will be entering the last year of his contract,
which is twenty twenty four, and he has zero dollars
and guaranteed money left on his contract. Now his capit
isn't that Big only thirty one million next season. But
you guys all know, nobody worth their salt enters into
(02:34):
a season as a lame duck coach, quarterback what have you.
So you gotta expect he's gonna be looking for a
new contract this offseason.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I mean, Rob, if I was the Lions and I
like Jared Goffing, I'm sure they like him.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
They have to.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
He's done great. I wouldn't bring up the conversation.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Look at he's great.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
At last year's going to be you know, I don't
know what the date is, whether it's in March, whether
it's in the summer, but at some point it's gonna
be guaranteed. He's gonna get paid for his last year.
My point is I'd love to see one more year
of him. But his agent, if he's worth his salt,
which I'm sure he is, is going to bring it
(03:16):
up and Rob, at the end of the day, I
gotta pay the man.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
If you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Can't play around, I gotta pay.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Like, what would you be doing?
Speaker 7 (03:25):
Okay, you waited all this time to finally get win
some playoff games. You're in the NFC Championship game, and
then the first thing you're gonna do is be like, no,
we're not paying the quarterback. Okay, we wanna start all
over one another nineteen fifty seven, like like, it doesn't
make sense, and it doesn't mean we talked about it, Chris.
The division is only gonna get tougher. I think as
(03:49):
you go forward with Green Bay, No, the Packers are
gonna be better.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
Okay, and then there's a chance of Kayla.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
With the Bears, they finished strong, maybe they got some players,
you got a little better quarter I'm just saying. And
then Minnesota, you know, I don't know where they are
because they're not gonna have have a different quarterback.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
I don't know where they really fit in.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
But anyway, my point is you had a good coach,
don't mess around with this. Don't like I mean, I
get it. You don't have to give him the make
them the highest paid quarterback in the league. But you
gotta take your day, you know what I mean, Like, no,
I'm not doing that, so that you know, you know
how it works, rob everybody, you know, generally a guy
(04:31):
becomes the highest paid and so that that's what I'm
talking about. I mean, I definitely would love to sign
him at a favorable number.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But whatever the case, he's getting fifty plus. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
The interesting thing for him, and I know his average
is what about thirty four million a year over that deal,
which at.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
That time was huge now not so much, right.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But it isn't like they've had him on this rookie deal, right.
They've had to build around him, you know, from the
get go, with him taking up a lot of the
salary cap, and so that won't be as big of
it an adjustment for them. But it's tough, you know.
(05:13):
But at the end of the day, you have to
have a quarterback. Everybody can't have Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.
And so I think I would hold my breath and
sign him because and if they lose to me, Rob,
this game doesn't really have any bearing on it, because
I mean they're expected to lose. They're supposed to lose to,
(05:36):
you know, to the the Niners, So that really.
Speaker 7 (05:39):
Should I agree, Chris, I agree, because even if they lose,
it doesn't matter what happens. They've done enough this year
to make you feel good about Jared Golf that the
trade that you made worked out. Even though Stafford went
on and got his Super Bowl, we got that but
the Lions made out as well. And you got Jared Golf.
(06:01):
He's not an old guy, got a few more good
years left in him. And you want and you don't
want to upset the Apple card. Don't make it, Cause Chris,
they've raised ticket prices like sixty percent, so you know
what I mean, like that, like they're cashing out right
on it line. I got Ryan fans friends, Chris, who
(06:24):
have canceled their season tickets for next year.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Really yeah, but even though they're playing, well, that's what
they just when you win.
Speaker 7 (06:30):
They're so mad though that, like they've been fans and
bought season tickets for twenty years when the product was bad.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
And not that they don't expect.
Speaker 7 (06:39):
To, you know, for them to raise the ticket prices,
but to gouge them, do you know what I mean
the first bit of success, you know, and it's sixty
percent like something like that, like like that's a big increase.
This is the Midwest, Chris. You lived in the Midwest.
These are people who are average joes, don't have a
(06:59):
lot of disposable income like that, they're not eating out
of fancy restaurants.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
All the talking about saying all but you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
To your point, Rob, they supported them through the lean time.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I don't know where they selling out.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
They were, they were close to sellout, you know what
I mean, But they weren't empty seats or like empty sections.
Everyone wanted to sell out, but big crowds always Chris
always twenty years I was, you know, covering and being
there all the time. People supported the Lions, and I
don't I don't expect the Lions to to not try to,
(07:32):
you know, increase their revenue. I get that once you
start winning and all that, but not to gouge or
close out or push out all those fans who have
been supporting you all along.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Do you feel, like Rob, that this is the Lions
are building something. I mean, now they've obviously, you know,
they gotten to the final four, so they they've obviously gone.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
A long way already.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
But do you see this as something that's going to
go on for the next few years or you know,
there are always teams that you know they were I mean,
look at Minnesota and I know Kirk Cousins got hurt,
but they were only four and four when he got hurt,
but remember they were thirteen and three d.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You remember they won like five five or so games.
Remember when he got hurt, they went on a run.
And then who was the quarterback who came in the
rocket science?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I mean the.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
Astronaut who dies You couldn't finish the job? You remember
then he was exposed. But they weren't going to go no, no,
But I'm just saying, but they want to win four
or five games in a row.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Do you think that they the Lions are building something
where they're going to be, you know, one of those
top teams in the mix for the next you know,
three four years or do you think this could be
a one off?
Speaker 7 (08:53):
I'm just not. I'm not sure yet. I really, I'm
not sure. In the NFL, you know how it goes,
Chris to teams that sometimes, as you say, come out
of nowhere one year and then do they sustain it?
Is it a is it a one time deal?
Speaker 8 (09:09):
You know?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Do you fall back in the pack the next year?
Speaker 7 (09:12):
Do you people not maybe not take you as seriously
the first time you really step up there, and then
once you do, they change the way they look at you.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
You know, there's all kinds of stuff. So I'm not
I don't think they're going all the way backwards.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
But do I think they're gonna win the division every year,
and it's the Lions division to lose.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I'm not there yet now.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Look like I said, I think Green Bay is going
to be a Super Bowl contender next year. But I
also think the Lions will be. Like I think this
is legit. I think they're going to be good. Dan
Campbell's done a great job there. You know, the offense
is among the best in the league. The defense gives
up a ton of passing yards.
Speaker 7 (09:54):
In part Stafford had thro almost three seventy and then fifty.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, but some of that I don't even want to
say in part like it's fifty. But some of that
rob is because they're so good against the run that
teams can't run on them. So they throw the ball
a lot. But they don't give up a ton of
touchdowns and things like that. But they do give up
(10:20):
a ton of passing yards. But I think they'll even
get better on that side of the ball. So I
think they're here to stay. You know, I'm not predicting
a Super Bowl necessarily, but I do think they're going
to be one of those top teams. Like next year,
I think they're gonna be one of the top teams
again in the NFC and have a chance to come
(10:41):
out of the NFC.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
All right, it's the Eye couple, Chris and Rob.

Our next guest is just an incredibly accomplished figure. Former
NBA champion with the New York Knicks back when they
used to win championships, Hall of Fame basketball player, former
US senator, and now he is the creator and star
(12:28):
of a show that will be streaming on Max on
February first. Let's welcome in Bill Bradley. Bill, it's a
pleasure to have to couple.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
Hey, doing you great, Great to have you on.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
And I was talking about your show. It's gonna be
called Rolling Along. It's an American story. Rolling Along an
American story, and it really talks tou as a one
man show about your childhood, you know, growing up along
the Mississippi River, going to Princeton where you're the best
basketball player in the country. You had a Hall of
(13:04):
Fame career, as I said with the Knicks, eighteen years
in the US Senate and then eventually running for president.
So is really your life story obviously, So tell us
what do you hope that people will take away from
this film.
Speaker 8 (13:20):
Well, I remember when we had a group of look
at this and people said, what do you think this
is about? And the people who watch and say, it's
about all of us. It's about love of the game,
it's about love of the country. It's about forgiveness. It's
about failure, it's about joy, it's about sadness, it's about perseverance.
(13:42):
In other words, it embodies all those things that each
of us encounters in our life, and I do it
through my life. And my hope is that people will
see themselves in my own story and then maybe tell
their story because I think, you know, in the divided
times we live in, if we tell each other our stories,
will find a lot in commons and be able to
(14:04):
move forward.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
Bill, I.
Speaker 7 (14:09):
Love the whole idea of it, because you're right, people
will watch and take different things from it in their lives,
and you know, compare whatever. But I guess today I
always feel like kids do they deal with failure, rejection? Everybody?
(14:30):
Like I just think We're living in this world where
everybody thinks it's an easy road and they look at
social media and hey, they're doing great. If I'm not
doing great at nineteen, I'm a failure and all kinds
of stuff. The pressures of today's kids. Does that worry
you about the idea that back in your day and
when Chris and I were growing up, we knocked our
(14:50):
heads a few times and you pick theirself up and.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
You kept going, well, that's still the way it is.
Nobody went to NBA Championship with out having that experience.
It's a failure somewhere along the way. And you know,
if you ask me what is this film and this
show really about, I say, it's about the kind of
things that typified our NICK teams back when we won championships,
(15:17):
and they're really like four things, and it's to take
responsibility for yourself, respect your fellow human being, disagree with
them honestly and civilly, enjoy their humanity, and never look
down on people you don't understand. That in a nutshell
is the message of the film. And I think that's
(15:38):
real for people today in their lives as it was
in my time or your time or anytime, because those
are human facts. And the more that we understand that
we're all the same human being, we're going to find
things we have in common. And to me, that's the key.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Bill you mentioned you won championships with the Knicks nineteen
seventy nineteen seventy three, and they haven't won since. Why
do you think. I mean, that's fifty years that they
haven't been able to get a championship.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And mostly most times aren't even close.
Speaker 8 (16:20):
Yeah, well, I my old friend. I thought my old
friend Phil Jackson had the answer, But I guess the
reality is that that's just the fact. You have to
look at each team separately. And I like this current team.
Speaker 9 (16:36):
Ye.
Speaker 8 (16:36):
And the key thing is for a team to develop
the habit of winning. I mean, what is basketball. It's
a game of ball movement and player movement that rewards unselfishness.
Every championship team that wins understands that the ball moves,
the players move, and people are unscolfish. And with the
(16:58):
Nick teams or whomever. If you take a look at
the Warriors when they were playing well a couple of
years ago, that's the way they played. And I think
that the reality is that Nick teams have some pretty
good ingredients to come together here. I think Brunson is
learning how to be a really good point guard. And
I think Randall is good. I mean, I think that
(17:19):
o Gie, the new acquisition, he might be the the
butcher of this team. I don't know for the missing piece,
but you know, once a Knick fan, all, always a Knicks,
So you know I'm for them no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Well, I love Bill what you said about the game.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
It's about ball and player movement, and let's be honest,
you don't see nearly as much of that in today's NBA.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
You mentioned the Warriors. They weren't the most talented.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Team in the world until they got kept Ramt, but
they won twice without him.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
But because they have ball in player movement, they were.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Able to run circles around the rest of the league,
which was a lot of IO went on, one lot
of high pick and roll, you know, two man game,
and I think that I and I don't think the
players are selfish, but I think if you just play
high pick and roll all the time and everybody else
spread the floor or ISO, that's a selfish way of playing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
And so do you think that they'll get more back.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
To you know, some five I think that's one reason
international you know teams are beating us now and they
come over here and they're the best players because they're
used to playing five man basketball where there's more ball
than player.
Speaker 8 (18:35):
Movement, no question about it. They they guess what, you know,
We've sent coaches all over the world for years to
teach people basketball. Guess what they learned. They learned, and
now the players are coming back fundamentally sound and they're
doing well in the NBA. And so we just have
(18:56):
to understand basics. It's a team game.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
You know.
Speaker 8 (19:01):
Anytime you have four guys playing and six guys watching,
that's really not an interesting game to watch, even you
need want to have. I always say the way you
can measure a team is count how many passes they
make when they cross half court, right, If they make
one or two passes their selfish team. If they make
(19:24):
more than two, they got something going. They can keep
the defense off balance by the way they move the
ball in their bodies. And so I think it's pretty
obvious that that's what wins. And I mean, I think
some of the Knicks really get it now, and I
think the coach Kits at Thibodeaux.
Speaker 7 (19:43):
How about the finances and the salaries and whatnot. Obviously
you playing in a different time, I know, I know, team.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
Well, hold on, hold on those. When I came into
the league, the average salary was nine thousand and seven
underd dollars.
Speaker 4 (20:00):
I believe, I believe.
Speaker 8 (20:03):
Now it's like three million. I don't know, so.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, yeah, more than that.
Speaker 8 (20:08):
Whatever.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
But sometimes when you see some of these guys and
I'm not knocking anybody at times and things to change,
and I'm not one of those hey you kids, get
off my long guy. But when you see like the money,
like guys weren't even stars making thirteen eighteen million dollars
a year, well you just scratch your head and go, man, I.
Speaker 4 (20:30):
Wish I was born later. I mean, what would you
have made?
Speaker 10 (20:33):
No?
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I like, I like being born when I was born,
playing with the team that I played. Money is important,
Championships are more important. And I had luck to being
with a great gep of human beings and went to
the mountaintop twice, almost three times, and that's that's what
I remember. I think that these guys make a lot
of money, and that's good, but you know, you can
(20:56):
make a lot of money, but you won't have the
feeling of standing at half court with your fist rays
in the air and chills going up and out and
down your spine, knowing you're the best in the world.
And ultimately, when you're an old man, you're going to
realize you lost something. And so I think the money
is important. I mean, I was the player rep. I
was the union guy. I was the guy that's bought
the owners so we'd have a competitive marketplace. We went
(21:20):
to Congress, we're sured that there would be competition.
Speaker 9 (21:23):
Now.
Speaker 8 (21:23):
I used to give a speech saying, let the market
set the rates for what Hoover's not, not the not
the owners. And indeed that's what's happened because it's become
a big sport and the players who are smart. I
don't begrudge anybody making money, and they can make as
much money as they want, as long as the game
is played in a way that I think respects. What's
(21:44):
best about basketball ball movement, player movement, unselfishness.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Bill, great stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
We appreciate your time and good luck with your new film.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
Rolling along an amazing.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
I want you I want you guys to look at
it on a and tell me what you think we will.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
We will.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
It starts on HBO Max February first. Thank you for
your time. We look forward to checking out the.
Speaker 8 (22:08):
Thank you guys.

Steve for the update.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
We're the Odd Couple live from the tire Rack dot
com studios. We're waiting on Mike Golick Junior. He's the
host of the Gojo and Goliic podcast. It's on DraftKings.
He's been on the show before and here he is again,
Mike Golick Junior. Mike, Welcome to the old Mike.
Speaker 10 (22:44):
What's going on, guys, good to be back with you.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
Go have you back?
Speaker 1 (22:49):
Let me ask you this right now, we got the
San Francisco forty nine ers facing Detroit in the NFC
Championship game, and it seems like everybody's been divided on
Brock Purty.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
You've got the camp that says he's not that good.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
He's just another maybe a little upgrade over Jimmy Garoppolo,
but he's just got Kyle Shanahan and a lot of
great players around him, and then you've got the camp
that says, no, he's really good.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I mean, I don't think very many.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
People have gone overboard, but for the most part, there's
another camp saying he's very good and he's adding to
this team, and his numbers show that.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
Where you at on.
Speaker 10 (23:32):
Brock Perty, I think brock Purty is a very good
player who's grossly outplayed his draft status, physical ability, and
gives this team a great chance to win. Like all
the rest of that stuff has some merit, right. He
came up, like a lot of other quarterbacks that have success,
in a system where he's got a great play caller
as his head coach. He's got plenty of weapons around
him there. But I do think he is a guy,
(23:54):
and using Jimmy Garoppolo sort of as a comparative point,
I do think there are things that he has done
in this offense an improvement on what Jimmy Garoppolo did.
Some of the things that he has done when plays
have broken down. The confidence that he now has im
viewed in him coming up in a healthy system, having
him cut it loose in big moments like that, final
drive against the Green Bay Packers. So listen, he's not
(24:15):
a world beater like Mahomes and the rest of those
freak aliens at the top of the league right now.
But that's not a comparison that's fair to him. At
this point in his career, He's two years in, he
hasn't even started two full seasons, and yet he's going
to have his team and be a part of back
to back NFC championship runs at the very least, so
very good player and a really impressive story.
Speaker 7 (24:32):
Yeah, but you got to admit, now, Okay, they had
already gone to the Super Bowl without him, Mike, and
he didn't look good for three plus quarters and then
got the big touchdown. What was Shanahan's record, Chris, you
told me in the fourth quarter coming home.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
Over zero thirty three?
Speaker 7 (24:47):
Yeah, zero thirty coming back down in the fourth quarter
and coming back to winning.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
He got the game won there. But my question to
you is.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
This could be a rock party game from the standpoint
that the Lions defense right gives up passing yards, and
we saw the same thing. The Lions gave up a
lot of passing yards to staff Baker Mayfield and Stafford
right So could this come down to Brock Perdy throwing
(25:20):
the football in order to beat the Lions?
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Oh?
Speaker 10 (25:23):
Yeah, this has a chance to be a shootout on
both sides. I mean, the forty nine ers rush defense
struggled all year and they're going up against a really
quality offensive line in the Detroit Lions, a running back
in Jamier Gibs. It's been unlocked. And on the other side,
You're absolutely right, the strength of the Lions defense has
been in the front seven. They've got a couple of
really strong pieces there on the d line. But no,
I do think Rock Purdy is in part going to
(25:44):
have to help win them this game. And I know
we spent a lot of time too focusing on the
health of Deebo Samuel on that shoulder, Willie player or not,
how that affects him, how it affected last week's performance,
And I always think it's worth reminding there's a big
difference between having to adjust your game plan on the
fly in the middle of the game, where you expect
Ego to be full go the entire time, and having
a week to prepare the alternative plan where you know
(26:05):
there's a chance that he might not be on the
field for you, and so I do think Kyle Shanahan
is going to have a better grasp of how to
go and allocate touches to other places, how they want
to orchestrate that offense and make sure that Rock Purdy
has that plan and has it down cold. Brock Perdy,
we could talk about a lot of the physical attributes
were we talked about the struggles last week. The one
thing he's done is displayed an aptitude to digest everything
(26:26):
in Kyle Shanahan's offense at a very young age. Like
Jimmy Garoppolo was more of a veteran player when he
got over there, he had at least been around the
league a few years. This has been in the fire
in some pivotal moments pretty quickly. And so I'm going
to give Brock Purdy credit where it's due. He's helped
orchestrate one of the best offense in the regular season
the outside of matchups for the team like Baltimore really
boat raced a lot of its competition in the NFC
(26:48):
and has a good chance of the game where whether
it's not going to be a factor like it was
last week. He struggled a bit with the rain. It
looks like it's going to be drier conditions and a
little bit more favorable.
Speaker 7 (26:57):
How about Baltimore and their defense, hou and its first
playoff gamescoed like for over forty points what was it
forty five or whatever it was, and all they were
able to get was three points off of that Ravens defense.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
Mike, how good is that Ravens defense?
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (27:15):
They didn't even allow touchdown to a team that was
rolling the week before against the good Cleveland Browns defense.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
Yeah there. I mean, this Ravens team in general is
bordering on like all time great by the way that
they've gone through this season. And if they or have
to close the deal, we'll get to have some fun
conversations about where they do rank all time amongst some
of the best teams we've seen this century. But I
think with the Ravens defense, and in comparison to let's
say the Browns defense, if you brought up Brownsvill bangs up.
(27:43):
Towards the end of the year, Miles Garrett, who's the
leader of the pack on that group, had been dealing
with the shoulder for the back half of the season,
wasn't quite as productive. And you know, Jim Schwartz throws
a lot at you, but not nearly as much of
the movement and the varied placement of pieces as you
get from Mike McDonald's Baltimore Rave defense. They are equal
part incredible personnel, right They've gotten the best out of
(28:04):
a guy like Jadavian Clowney, who's still an elite run defender.
Kyle van Ney showed up a ton as a pass
rusher in this last game and could very well again
against the Chiefs unit that I think is weaker on
the edges than they are in the middle. And then
you've got Roquand Smith orchestrating at all. You can put
Kyle Hamilton anywhere in that defense. They've got all pro
caliber players and a lot of pivotal spots down the
(28:25):
spine of that defense, and it gives them incredible versatility,
but at the end of the day, also just great
players to lean on when they've got to buckle down
in obvious situations and get the job done. So it's
it's going to be an excellent chess match, and I'm
not surprised they're a mature group on defense, and for
that Houston Texans team in particular, the number that suck
out to me was eleven to three eleven penalties versus
(28:46):
three penalties committed by the Houston Texans as opposed to
the Ravens. They lost some of that poise in the
favor of what's been a death star of an opponent
in the Baltimore Ravens, and Baltimore showed you the years
of building these things up under Lamar Jackson. Acquiring Roquwand
Smith last year has this team ready and very confident.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
So, Mike, how do you see this game plan out?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
There are some that think Baltimore will blow the Chiefs out.
They've blown out nine winning teams this season, which is incredible.
I think the previous record was like seven. And the Chiefs,
on the other hand, never get blown out. Under with
Patrick Mahomes, they've been blown out four times and is
(29:27):
like one hundred and twelve games.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
So how do you see this game plan out?
Speaker 10 (29:32):
I think it's going to be pretty tight. You mentioned
that I got way too much respect for what pat
Andy Reid doing the plosseason especially, and the way Steve Stagnola,
their defensive coordinator, can game plan. Really the quality of
that unit, I think they've got what it takes to
make this thing a bit of a rock fight, sort
of like they wanted to do against Buffalo. I think
weather's going to play a factor in that it's supposed
to be a little bit rainy, a little bit windy
(29:54):
potentially in Baltimore for this game with a low pressure
system going through there. So I still think Baltimore wins
this game. And I think I've seen the number anywhere
around four to four and a half points in the
favor I wouldn't be surprised if they won around that
number because I do think on their best day, they're
the better team. For the Kansas City Chiefs, I think
one of the biggest factors we talked about Deebo Samuel's injury.
(30:15):
On the other side, Joe Tooney, they're all pro left
guard dealing with a tech injury that he suffered in
that last game against the Buffalo Bills. Adam Schefter tweeted
earlier in the week that he seems doubtful, but he's
trying like hell to play in that game. If he's
not in there, that middle of the offensive line, Chiefs,
it's supposed to be the strength of their team, and
if you remember the Baltimore Ravens, that defense it's hard
(30:36):
to get anything through and get anything past them. But
the one team that was somewhat able to was the
Los Angeles Rams, and they did it by running right
down State Street with Kyron Williams in that offensive line.
And so if the Chiefs are compromised up the middle, now,
all of a sudden, Justin Mattabik, that great pass rushing
defensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, has a bit of
an easier time, and you're dealing with a bunch of
guys that have to deal with communication issues at the
(30:58):
most pivotal juncture of their game. I think Baltimore wins
the close one, but I do against all uts. Picking
against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs, I
think I'm going to do it.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
I hear you on that. All right. That's Mike Golick Junior.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
It's time, folks for shop talks. That ain't st being
a bomb shop.
Speaker 5 (32:08):
You know that, ain't nobody you were talking about whoever, whatever,
whatever you want to in the boss.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
It's shop talk.
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Try to shop talk here on the AKA, but we
discuss something but outside of the world is sports. This
week's topic comes to us from Hollyweird, where I don't
know if you guys know this, but they remade the
movie Roadhouse, Okay, and it's starring Jake Gillen Hall.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I thought the story though.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
That was the one with was that Patrick Patrick Swayze
the eighties?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
Yep.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
Now Jillen Hall being the star is not the story here.
The story is one of the co leads, the supporting
actors in this film, Connor McGregor. And if you watch
the trailer, it's as bad as it sounds because he
just cannot act whatsoever. Really, it's terrible. He's very hammy.
He thinks he's being funny and he's not. It's just
(32:55):
really bad.
Speaker 3 (32:58):
He's hamm That sounds familiar, So what is that anyway?
Speaker 7 (33:04):
You're trying to say, I'm a ham Chris talking about Hey,
put some of my mayonnaise on my back.
Speaker 3 (33:09):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (33:11):
Here's the question, though, Guys. If it's an action movie,
which you know Roadhouse is and action movies in general,
do you care if the stars can't act Rob Parker, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:24):
I care.
Speaker 7 (33:24):
I mean, like you want the best. You go to
a movie you're paying your money, you want to see
like you know when like like I always say.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
This, Chris, you're you appreciate this.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
You go to Jamie Fox movie he became way Charles,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (33:43):
Like, like, that's that's what acting is supposed to be.
Speaker 7 (33:46):
Where where where you get into the character and you go, man,
if I close my eyes, it sounds like that.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
Raychel Washington became Malcolm X.
Speaker 7 (33:55):
You right, and and Will Smith remember gaining away with
Muhammad al League.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
Legacy Chris that that.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I gotta be honest. I didn't love Will Smith and
ol League.
Speaker 7 (34:07):
No, but I'm saying, but he bulked up to look
like Kennedy, all that he became.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Him is what I'm just saying.
Speaker 7 (34:14):
Rob g So, so I expect people, but don well right,
And here's.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
What I would say.
Speaker 1 (34:21):
And I hear you, Rob, because great acting is to
be treasured. But unless you're horrible, then no, I don't
really care if it's an action movie. I mean, right,
how many rappers have become actors? How many athletes have
become rappers? I mean, I gotta be honest on a
(34:42):
certain look. I'm not saying just anybody can be a
great actor, like like you said, Will Smith, who obviously
was an ex rapper, but Dinzel Washington, Harrison Ford, you
know the best, George Clooney all that.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
But a lot of people.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Can act on a decent level. I mean, I guess rappers.
I don't know if they get trained, but all these
rappers L L. Cool, j Ice Cube, Queen Latifa, and
I could go on and on becoming rappers like or
actors like?
Speaker 3 (35:13):
Is it it ain't that hard?
Speaker 7 (35:14):
I guess no, it's harder than you think, Chris. Everybody
can't be an actor.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
I ain't saying everybody, but I think a lot of
people can at a decent level. You don't have to
I'm not saying you can be a great level.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
In a movie. I've been in a movie. There we go.
Speaker 4 (35:32):
It always comes back to Chris.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
No, I'm just saying, I've been in a movie.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
You're an actor.
Speaker 8 (35:36):
Now.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
I get paid by SAG every year. I get my
little royalty check.
Speaker 7 (35:42):
So what if you paid like a thousand dollars in royalty?
I mean jealous? Don't I am jelly? You are jelly?
Speaker 3 (35:49):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
But I'm all I'm saying is I mean, We've seen
so many ball players and rappers become actors, and I'm
not saying they're the greatest, but I'm I'm just saying,
if you're decent, I can put up with it. You know,
you might not win an Oscar or whatever. But unless
you're just horrible. If you're horrible, then I got a problem.
(36:10):
But it's very few movies, you know, the decent movies
where you see somebody that, Oh my god, they're just terrible.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
I'm sorry, I can't even watch this.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
I know I will say I don't think Janet Jackson
is a good actress.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
You didn't like it on Good Times?
Speaker 1 (36:24):
She was great as a little kid on Good Times
and as Charlene she was all right in different strokes
as an adult. And I love Janet Jackson's music, but like,
and why did I get married?
Speaker 3 (36:36):
No, not a good actress.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
And if I'm saying you're not a good actor, you
aren't because I'm not like I don't have a great
eye necessarily for actors.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Yeah, you think you're a good actor. Well did you
see did you see?
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Nobody seen it? Calm like like funny knee slapper. You
gotta check it out, rob g you did see it.
You just realize it.
Speaker 7 (37:03):
It was in the It was in the Penny Ben
dvd Ben in the dollar store.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Hold on, check this out. That's what my part was.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
The part.
Speaker 3 (37:13):
Guess what was across me? Guess who I acted with?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
This dude I acted with was in Straight out of
Compton and he was doctor Dre's brother and that they
got killed and he was in the New Edition movie.
So I'm talking about big time actors that I will
how bad his career crashed, that.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
He was.
Speaker 3 (37:36):
Right exactly, oh Man.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
To answer the question, I'm conflicted because on one hand,
like Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a good actor, but it
doesn't prevent me from enjoying his own.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
But you're not there for the dialogue, right, But that's
what you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (37:52):
But here's here's the thing, though, I have a problem
when you have bad actors who are trying to be
good actors in action movie like The Late Fast in
the Fear of Vin Diesel makes a point to be
very dramatic for like half the movie. It's so bad
it makes you want to turn it off. You can't
even appreciate all the flying cars and stuff because this
guy's trying to be real emotion I'll talk about.
Speaker 1 (38:12):
Well that when this bad acting, that's noticeable, and that
ruin can ruin the movie.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
But I'm just saying, just.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Be the action star.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
Like right, there's a lot of movies that are decent
that's just decent.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
They're not great. But Alex, where are you?
Speaker 9 (38:28):
I'm in the studio are you?
Speaker 3 (38:30):
I'm I'm sure Alex thinks he could go on there
and act.
Speaker 10 (38:33):
Oh.
Speaker 9 (38:33):
I've been told plenty of times Chris Brustar and I
should take headshots and go act already.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
I've been told you here in La what you waiting for, probably.
Speaker 9 (38:40):
To not get infiltrated with, you know, the whole hollyweird stuff.
But that's just me.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
I feel you in that.
Speaker 9 (38:45):
But I'll say this, I think actors should stay in
their lane. Player roles. Don't get dramatic. If you're an
action star, just make it simple. You don't got to
be anything crazy. Look at Arnold Swartzenegger. It's that easy.
Speaker 3 (38:56):
There you go. That was very succinctic with his hands here.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
All right, we got Robert left, tower is around the corner.
Speaker 3 (39:05):
Keep it locked.
