Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
I'll tell you what, there's a lot going on. There's
a lot going on this week. There's a lot going
on out and about. I am still thinking about the
way this NBA season ended, and the number one thing
I kept hearing is it seemed like half the stars
in the league had popping Achilles tendons. I hear all
the experts say, well, you know, when this starts, It starts.

(00:28):
It starts when they're kids. It starts when they're in
that that AAU circuit, and they just get going where
they're they're playing too much basketball year round. And then
right before I sit down to do a show with
my man Eve from Salam, what am I getting? I'm
getting pictures from the middle of July with your wonderful offspring.

(00:51):
Apparently the doctors tell me he's supposed to be sitting
and resting right now from But where are you? Tell
everybody where you are right now? I'm in Las Vegas, okay?
And why because there's a couple of reasons.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
But the one you're referring to is my son, who's
my basketball player, my eleven year old and his eleven
year old cousin, My brother's son. I had the privilege,
the privilege and the pleasure of being on the ball
crew for the summer league this summer, okay. And so

(01:28):
it's so funny because in the pictures I sent you
that was happening now a game between the Celtics and
the Hawks. And this morning, when he found out that
he would be out there with the Celtics, he wanted
to put on his Laker Kobe Bryant socks. So just
so they this is him, just so they understand. Just

(01:50):
working here. I'm not a fan.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
So I love your kid, I love your kids, and
I love well, but I love the kids and professional athletes.
Because you want to talk about somebody not letting their
eyes turn into silver dollars, somebody who's been around it
a little bit growing up. You said he's eleven. Is
that what you said? Yeah, he's eleven. Eleven years old.
How many kids eleven years old are told you're about

(02:16):
to head out of the court with the Celtics and
the Hawks. Most eleven year olds I know would be like,
oh my god, But your kid is like better let
him know, Dad, better, let them know.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
I love it. And the all is he is.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
I mean it's been who've been there since the seventeenth
and so he's just been in it. He's enjoying it,
and I wanted to he gets to see how hard
these young men work. And this isn't an NBA roster.
The reality of the situation is ninety percent of these

(02:57):
guys playing in the summer league won't be on a
ne be A roster in a couple months. And so
just seeing how these young men who've had great college careers,
some in the G League, some played overseas, are out
here competing every day, it kind of shapes what his
work ethic, what he has to put into the game.

(03:18):
Even now at eleven, I said, and look, man, you're eleven. Now,
in six seven years, you're gonna be eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
These kids are eighteen nineteen.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
Out here, So what is what is the level of
work that you want to put in in that short
amount of time? And I always tell him in comparison,
the first time I ever played football was in the
ninth grade. Ever, eight years later I was starting in

(03:48):
the Super Bowl, yep. And so that window, which seems
like a lot relatively speaking, is a blink of an eye.
So how people ask me all that, Well, how did
you get yourself for in eight years to start it
in the Super Bowl?

Speaker 4 (04:04):
And did you put your head down and go to work?
That's it.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
It's no secret formula or recipe. It's I was blessed
with you know, DNA. DNA helps. Being six' eight really.
Helps but, there LIKE i, said it's a lot of
guys six eight security.

Speaker 4 (04:22):
Somewhere, uh you really got to put your head.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Down i'm just trying to give him that that information
without being too overbearing on. Him my my wife has
always got a raised eyebrow When i'm talking to him
like an, athlete not an eleven year. Old And i'm, like, well,
baby he this trust, me it'll pay, off, right it'll pay.
Off so we're happy we're out. Here, uh he's. Working

(04:49):

Opportunity do you mind sharing how that came to?

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Be, Okay so a couple two months, ago you, know
as you, know my brother AND i we have a production,
company hit An Empire. Film we started a sports, collective
so It's Hitting Empire Sports, collective Which i'm. Running and
good friend of, Ours mike we grew up, with came
over with his partner Kg Kevinc garnett and they were

(10:54):
talking About albert who runs THE Nba Summer league and
attached to that is a film. Festival Uh so THE
Nba Summer League Film festival where uh players they've acted
in and in some of the films and documentaries sometimes
it's about. Them Tony allen had a tremendous one with

(11:18):
The grizzlies Called The. Grind The grindfather telling his story was.
Unbelievable but they were about you, know sixty, submissions and
they came. Over they were talking to us about combining
forces and really shining a spotlight on this already terrific film,
festival and we jump right on the, end, uh because

(11:40):
we're in that business sports. Docs we had a chance
to premiere our doctor we have Called kings Of vegas
about The Running. Rebels, yes that, team The national championship,
Team tark and all the, Guys agman AND. Lj, hunt
all of those. Guys it's been tremendous. Uh and so

(12:02):
we partner with them and with that we got a
little bit of access as one of these sponsors of
the co sponsors of the film, festival and, they you,
know reached out and asked if our youngins wanted to
be part of the ball crew and they were over the,
moon and you, know they're living their best lives while

(12:23):
we're working and look AT i don't have a problem with.
That this is this has been something that's been. Tremendous,
yes that's why we work. Hard we you, know we
didn't get a chance to experience things like this at their.
Age so any any, WAY i can expose my kids
to the things that seem impossible so they can feel
that it's.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Normal i'm all for. It that's, beautiful, man that's.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Beautiful And I'm sometimes you get to a certain point
in your life and career and everything where you've been
around for a minute and and things will come, up
like for, instance when we reference The brady bunch and
there's probably people listening were, LIKE i don't even know
what the hell these two old dudes talking about. It
but Right Tom, BRADY i didn't know he had a.

(13:08):
Bunch he had a bunch of. Ladies but, anyway but
sometimes when you bring up something from the wayback, MACHINE
i have the opposite feeling Where i'm, like, MAN i am.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
GLAD i got to see.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
That and when you bring up THAT unlv college basketball, Team,
Grandmama Stacey Augman Anderson, HUNT i mean like that for,
ME i, know like The fab five is definitely the
other answer to the question but it's it's not even for.
Me ALTHOUGH i do think THE unlv team is the

(13:43):
best college TEAM i ever, saw it's more just kind
of the iconic nature of. It for, me those are
the two teams THAT i will someday lay down for
the last time and. Remember which is is you KNOW
lj is UN lb Running rabs and and The Fab.

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Five that's What i'll remember well for.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Me for, us it changed basketball for sure because it
literally tapped right into the culture right and if during you,
know in this documentary you'll see how THE unlv running
rebels were painted out to be. Thugs these are teenage, kids,

(14:29):
okay these are kids coming into a situation with a
coach who believed in. THEM i think u N lv
was one of the first schools that really Utilized prop forty,
eight where if a kid was coming out of high
school and he didn't have his grades, up they can
come to the, school be, enrolled not be on a,

(14:50):
team but they can get their grades up and then
the next year be a part of.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
That they don't do.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
THAT i don't even know if you can do that,
anymore but it was it was giving kids an opportun,
unity uh to better. Themselves and you got to, Remember
duke was the class of the, class, Right so you
have The Duke, institution which was.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
This is this is what it's all. About this is.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Basketball and then you have these thugs quote unquote who
are just, uh you, know arrogant and. Right look and
just getting to talk to him and being in this
doc and hearing and hearing the. Stories they were just
teenage kids living out a dream that they didn't think.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Was, possible and that fun that they were having it
came through the television.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Screen, yeah but you can you can see. It and
that's what that's what changed for. Me that's what changed
the perception of college. Basketball and then shortly after that
you had The fab five come along AND i was, like, oh, okay, okay,
yes it. Resonated it resonated with a large portion of
the country because now we a lot of kids saw

(16:03):
themselves in that. Space now you look at the landscape
of basketball now you know and and and and all
of the the NI o money and uh may have
may or may not have been some n I o
money back, then but just watched the. Doc you'll see,
that you, know you'll see you get you get all
the information. DON'T i don't want you to hear from.
Me you KNOW i wasn't involved in you know that

(16:24):
time they called it something. Different back What i'm telling,
You kings Of. Vegas it'll be out. SOON i can't.
Wait you'll you'll get all of the, juice all of
the things you want to hear in this. Document it
is a, tremendous tremendous.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
DOC i cannot wait to see.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
It and and by the, way speaking of changing the
game and giving opportunities to those who you wouldn't otherwise
think would have that, opportunity that also makes me think
of One Tiger. WOODS i keep Hearing tiger's name this
weekend because Of Scottie, scheffler AND i would love to
talk about that with. You let's do. That coming up,

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Much, love thank you, all and we are live in
The Fox Sports radio. Studios all of that, SAID i
have TO i have to kind of come down some
people's road right. NOW i guess in a, Way i'm
not comfortable with something That i'm. Hearing After Scotti scheffler
won The open championship this morning our, Time i'm not

(18:42):
comfortable with all of The, Hey Tiger woods, redo AM i? Right?
Like look at this and all the stats are coming
out about this is how Many tiger won by the
time that he had played this many. Years and Here
scottie and now he's, got you, know a bunch of
different notches on the major belt and all of the,

(19:05):
LIKE i get where everyone's coming. FROM i just wonder
if we could take this conversation outside of golf for a,
Minute and what a perfect time to bring it up
after what you were just talking about the social angle
of what's, happening for, example with the kids that went
To duke versus the kids that went TO. Unlv that's

(19:28):
a different experience and in my, opinion a very different.
Accomplishment Scottie scheffler could win every tournament for the next year.

Speaker 4 (19:38):
And it won't make Him Tiger. Woods, no, like he
won't even get him.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
Closer he could win every tournament for the next two,
years the next ten. Years, actually he could win every
tournament that he plays for the rest of his life
and it won't make Him Tiger. WOODS i just wonder
if sometimes we could step out of thing like numbers
for a minute and and think about. This here's another

(20:06):
way THAT i would try to explain. IT i know
you AND i when the old Traveled Jordan lebron debate comes,
UP i know where you AND i stand at the same.
Time here's one aspect THAT i WOULD i would put
In lebron's. Corner it's not making him the greatest of all,

(20:28):
time But i've always been impressed to know That lebron
achieved what he did in the age of social. Media
Michael jordan didn't have to deal with. THAT i think
that's two different, worlds it. Right, okay so let's talk
about the world in Which Scotty scheffler lives versus the

(20:49):
world in Which Tiger.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
Wood lives and.

Speaker 2 (20:51):
Lived so when you think about somebody who was an absolute,
societal social issues title wave for the sport of, golf
eyeballs like it had never.

Speaker 4 (21:04):
Seen people have all ages flocking to.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Him like the international superstar that he, is the weight
of all of that being on your shoulders and still
going out and being easily the most talented and successful
player out. There that is not What Scotti scheffler's. Doing
Scotty scheffler can go to the grocery store tonight and

(21:30):
ninety nine percent of the people in there won't even
know who he. Is so that's the Only i'm not,
Saying i'm not saying anybody's wrong about, like, Oh scottie
won three And tiger won three by age. Whatever that's,
Great but the comparison should stop there because it is

(21:51):
literally impossible For Scotty scheffler to ever do anything resembling
What Tiger woods.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Did in my, opinion, yeah it's two. DIFFERENT i think
the Reason tiger changed the landscape of golf period period
he changed golf. Courses swell said they were, like, uh.

Speaker 4 (22:21):
This is unfair for every other player.

Speaker 3 (22:27):
Except for. Him so, okay these part fives got a
little bit, longer more part, fives and so having that
type of effect across the sport that you, play and
not only that, viewership, viewership what he did for golf

(22:54):
in the, World, yes it's similar to What steve De
seger does for us Every.

Speaker 6 (23:02):
Sunday not making any assertions about the, man, gentlemen the
fact is That Scotty scheffler after the win at The open,
today it only happened twice in golf history that a
guy had won multiple majors by four strokes or more
in a single. Year Ben hogan in nineteen fifty, Three

(23:22):
tiger in two. Thousand Scottie scheffler continues to dominate this
crew of. Golfers he won The open by four strokes
after a final round sixty eight In Northern. Ireland Harris
english finished in. Second scheffler has.

Speaker 4 (23:35):
Been ranked number one in the world.

Speaker 6 (23:36):

cool in a tennis stadium to see, the game but
when you had a three point shooting team and the
shots were getting, blown left, you know it wasn't such
a great. Idea anymore but so far these have, been

(28:57):
great great emphasized that were great ideas, from baseball.

NO doubt i just like my my creative mind is
starting to, be, like okay, where like where's this?

kind of on the same, page there you KNOW what
i was thinking. About it and It's like steve comes
in and he's. Absolutely right, he's, like okay so, you
know no commentary, on anything but here is the Greatness Of.
Scotty scheffler there's no. Denying it, oh, phenomenal right there's no.
Denying it he is the best in the world. Right
now it's, not close and it's not always in sport

(30:16):
that you get that one player, that's like oh oh
they're they're clearly the best of. The best show, Heyo Time, aaron,
judge like this is clearly the best golfer in. THE
world i just want to make sure when we're making
All the tiger comparisons that that we do understand you're
not really coming from the. Same place like the starting

(30:39):
point is not, the same the pressure is not. The
same scotty has to go out and win a. Golf tournament.
That's it tiger had to go out with the weight
of the entire world on his shoulders and right and
win the, golf tournament sometimes the weight of his own
family on his shoulders and go.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Play golf do?

Speaker 2 (31:03):
You KNOW like, I mean i was saying to, you
earlier it would be like Comparing like Drake And. Michael jackson, It's,
Like okay drake was A successful sorry.

HE was i. Was, wow ye they're not. LIKE us
i see what you're, doing kid.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
You know, but, anyway, like yeah like he is a
successful musician and, you know you want to call him
the King of soul for a minute or pop. Or
Whatever But, michael jackson this. Is transformative so it's the
funny that you had.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Jackson, Stuff man it's, come.

Speaker 8 (34:41):
ON man, I mean drake does also think he's like
at the same LEVEL.

Speaker 7 (34:45):
As mj.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Well can't drake can't, think that but no one.

Speaker 3 (34:49):
Else can it's that the thing is most of the,
you know was It gen z's right or in millennials
they didn't get a chance to experience what that was
like like in, real, time, Correct right like this is
a man who couldn't Go like drake and go to.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
The mall it'd, be tough but but people wouldn't like
rip his clothes off and cry.

Speaker 4 (35:20):
Shut the.

Speaker 8 (35:21):
Mall down did you hear the interview when he went
to Church With steve harvey and like he couldn't even
go to church.

Speaker 7 (35:28):
Because people were like parading and stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:29):
Like that, you can't he couldn't. Go anywhere he couldn't.
Go anywhere We see drake all over.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
The, place No, and, michael again this was his reality
before he was even before he was before he was
even here. A teenager so like that person never experienced
a normal.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Earth. Ever.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yeah never so it's the concept of oh, MY god
i saw a clip where he longed to go. Grocery,
Shop Sure michael jackson wanted to go. Grocery shopping he
always wanted to know what it. Feels like so they
reach out to a. Grocery store the manager, was like,

(36:09):
of course they shut it completely down and they.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Hired customers they, hired.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
People a lot of his family right to work and
be patrons in the. Grocery Store As michael jackson look,
it up if you don't, Blame Me As michael jackson
pushed his buggy up and down the cart coming up
and down, the aisles picking things out and putting them in.

Speaker 4 (36:36):
The basket i'm so excited that you called it.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
A buggy and, then, also, yeah like in, other words
what reality? Is that in, other words in order to
help him understand what it's like to go, grocery store
and they had to, ignore him so he did not
actually experience what it's like to go. Grocery, shopping no
that's the closest he. Could get, oh, god yeah that

Excited, About anyway speaking of those, training camps more on
that next You're Listening No Fox Sports.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
Radio, RADIO brother i think it's.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
Already happening maybe it just doesn't look exactly like we
thought it was going. To look YOU and i have
been predicting the crash of the wide receiver market IN
the nfl for a. While now maybe it's actually. Already
crashed we just didn't. Realize it we didn't know how
it would look when It would more on that than.
The second we're live In The Fox sports radio studios

(40:49):
with Me From salama mark. With it it's so thankful
and glad that you're with us here Tonight On Fox.
Sports radio so this one has been advertised a. Little
bit we've known it. Was coming it hasn't gotten, crazy
yet but maybe it's about to because campus about. To
Begin and, terry McLaurin, for example Of The, washington commanders
is not happy that team has Already Acquired deebo samuel in,

(41:11):
The offseason so we'll see kind of if that was
actually a maneuver by them to prepare themselves to have
some leverage in the, McLaurin conversation speaking of, wide receivers
the Team That deebo samuel just left now has another unhappy,
Wide Receiver, juwan jennings who came in and filled in

(41:33):
admirably last Year with. Deebo Underperforming brandon Aiyuk Hurt ricky
piersall with a. Gunshot wound all of these things, are
Happening and jennings essentially goes for about one thousand yards
and so now he would like his piece of the wide.
Receiver pie do you know? His fault This is aphraim
is one of the teams you used to. Play for

(41:55):
at LEAST if i can. Keep track did.

Speaker 4 (41:58):
You put On the? Jaguars uniform, Of, course okay THAT'S what. I,
thought yeah so It's a. Jaguars fault this Is The jacksonville.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Jaguars fault by, the way they to borrow a phrase
from the elementary school yard you. Started it you're not
the only.

Speaker 3 (42:16):
Guilty party that's not, from elementary that's, from marriage that's from.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
Every damn ware you. STARTED this i remember the contract
that made me go what and his Name Is christian
do you remember? THAT deal i think he got damn
near twenty million a year and people, Were like.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
I'm not even sure who. That is and.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
He was he's a, nice player don't get, Me WRONG
but i really blamed fantasy football. For this in. A
way something went haywire somewhere along, the way and wide receivers,
became very. Very popular their. Fantasy darlings the league became all,
about throwing and somewhere along, the line, teams went these

(43:07):
guys are, incredibly important and they forgot to actually study
what the relationship is between great wide receivers and winning.
Playoff GAMES because i still don't really. See it you've
made a big deal. About This saquon barkley is why
somebody Won The super bowl.

Speaker 4 (43:25):
Last year Not, Aj, brown no he was.

Speaker 2 (43:28):
Read right so here we are and WHERE what i
mean by that is we've Arrived at every wide receiver
is mad because they want their piece of, the pie
and we're now realizing that the pie should have never
been baked in the. First place but it's, too late

(43:50):
and so now they all have. A point they're like
that guy over hair's making twenty, eight Million.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
And i'm just as good. As him but what do?

Speaker 2 (43:59):
You do and the same thing that the teams have
done With The deshaun watson. Quarterback thing they almost had
to collude to work their way out. Of this maybe not,
even almost maybe they did and and and something's got
to happen here with this wide receiver market because people
want thirty million dollars that weren't. Worth, IT.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Yeah, I think and you can blame a lot of
of That on cincinnati what they paid their number. Two receiver,
good lord h whew, one okay. But two so now
you got, You know jennine's talking, about hey, like, wait,
what hey he didn't even break a? Thousand yards what

(44:41):
what are we?

Speaker 4 (44:42):
Hanging? For UH and i.

Speaker 3 (44:44):
Get it he's never really made, big money so he's
going to use this opportunity to to.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
You know get him a.

Speaker 3 (44:51):
Decent contract i'm not mad, at, that right but the
reality of the situation is if you have a dominant
running back and a dominant, offensive line you have a
good shot to be in Contention For.

Speaker 4 (45:13):
SUPER bowl.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
I Believe jalen hurts was? Ranked eleventh.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Was?

Speaker 4 (45:21):
It eleventh and the top quarterbacks for like? Passer, Rating
no i'm.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Just in terms of the list just came, OUT recently
i think last.

Speaker 4 (45:29):
One oh, yeah rating, not right something, Like that.

Speaker 3 (45:33):
Yeah ten quarterbacks or top twenty quarterbacks and he was
eleventh or something, like that and people were appalled, and
wow how.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Was justin herbert ahead?

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Of him and how because he's thrown for more yards
than anyone at this point in.

Speaker 4 (45:47):
Their, career, ever, duh.

Speaker 3 (45:51):
Duh right not to take anything Away from Eagles And.
JALEN hursts I Love. JALEN hurst i fell in Love
With jalen hurts from what happened to Him at alabama
and the whole. To situation, i'm, like man and to
see him bounce back and keep going and find himself
A super, Bowl champion, i'm, like, yeah. Man absolutely and

(46:16):
so the biggest knock On the eagles last year was
what they don't throw the ball down. The field we
had discrontold receivers or at least one Who decided i'm
going to read a book on, the SIDELINE.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
And i don't care what type of self help book.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
It was, to me.

Speaker 3 (46:45):
It, Wasn't oh i'm working on my. Mental acuteness It
was i'm, pissed Off so i'm not doing nothing on.
The field i'm not getting, the Ball so i'm.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Well read that's what it looked like.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
To me that's what it looked like to a lot
of other former players who would be appalled if someone
decided to read literature on the sideline during an actual,
football game.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
Opposed to looking at the iPad or the picture from.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
The player all of them are talking to the quarterback
or the offensive coordinator are on the.

Speaker 4 (47:25):
Red phone. Back there i'm going to take a break
from the football game and read a book that has
nothing to do with the.

Speaker 2 (47:32):
Football game.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
They Won Because sakwon barkley had the second greatest single
season RUSHING in.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
Nfl history that's why they Won The. Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
And jalen hurts is ranked amongst quarterbacks where he is
because he wasn't throwing.

Speaker 4 (47:55):
The ball down the field and they don't need him to.
Do that he fits that. System perfectly got.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
A lot of, touch pushes got a lot handing, it
off got a lot of timely on. Target throws if
you can run, the ball play action is just. Wide
open and so the new people are looking. At, that
okay well how they Win The?

Speaker 2 (48:16):
Super?

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Bowl oh the?

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Running, Game right so outside of, the outlier which Is
A patrick mahomes who's never really needed a running game
or had a, running game.

Speaker 4 (48:28):
Or a brady who were these are those are. The, outliers.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Now what's, happening is, you know teams, are, like, oh okay,
ball control, tremendous defense guys up front on the.

Speaker 4 (48:43):
Offensive, line dogs.

Speaker 2 (48:47):
That's.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
The formula that's where things are starting. TO shift i
can't wait to see What the. Raiders Do and ashton, gent,
right like when's the last time we had a running
back go?

Speaker 2 (48:59):
That high.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Like the formulas. Out there, it's it you. See it it's.

Speaker 2 (49:05):
Rebooting, itself yes cycle's, coming back coming. Back around it
Was That, Ezekiel elliott. Christian, McCaffrey yeah that's what our.
Ten picks that's what. It was and then then it
went out of style and it became a quote unquote
stupid for a little while to, do that because then
we went through the whole period of Like Le'Veon bell

(49:26):
and others like those who seem to, overvalue themselves and
you had teams.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
That, went oh we could just kind, of like we'll
just reboot.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
This every, four years get a young pup come, in
here run the ball and h and. We're good, BUT
yes i feel it after last year angling back toward
that run game and. Offensive line but the problem is
is these wide receivers are all looking at the market
and they're not wrong where, They're like, I'M sorry i

(49:56):
don't really care what. You're, DOING philosophically i know that
my run over here was making thirty million dollars and
he had five more yards than me, last YEAR and
i make, Five million so restructure.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
That thing you get me to twenty, or whatever which is.

Speaker 2 (50:12):
Like bananas the highest paid running back in the league
doesn't make twenty, million dollars and we've got the, you
know the twenty third best receiver mak them over.

Speaker 4 (50:22):
Twenty five. It's crazy.

Speaker 3 (50:24):
It's crazy cincinnati last year they had two guys combined
for twenty. Seven touchdowns almost both of them had, you
know a thousand plus. YARDS Apiece t, higgins finished, of
course he, got hurt only played, twelve games but nine
hundred and. Eleven yards chase had seventeen hundred and. EIGHT yards,

(50:50):
i mean all this. Is Fantastic joe burrow put up
a trement almost five thousand.

Speaker 4 (50:56):
Yards passing it. Was unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (51:02):
What's forty, three touchdowns, nine interceptions passing rating up one
hundred and eight point five seventy percent of passing.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Completions percentage they didn't make.

Speaker 2 (51:17):
The playoffs they didn't make. The playoffs, come, on man
what are. We doing christian McCaffrey makes nineteen million. A
Year t higgins now makes over. Twenty eight good luck.
With that who the hell is more important to your?

Speaker 3 (51:33):
Football team they're going to have to score forty five
points a game in order to be to make.

Speaker 2 (51:42):
The playoffs they're worse defensively than they were. Last year,
they were they. Are worse they don't have their passion.

Speaker 4 (51:48):
Got worse they.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Got worse the guy they drafted in the first round they,
alienated him and the guy who was they're.

Speaker 4 (51:54):
All pro they don't even want to.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Pay, HIM yeah i really do feel for, these Situations
like terry. Mcflauran crazy terry McLaurin is if you look at,
the market he is worth what. He wants if you
look at. The Market juwan jennings has an unbelievable case
for people. Don't know his base salary is four now
he's got incentives that could raise it, to seven but

(52:18):
he went for a couple of yards under one thousand. Last,
Year meantime, Deebo's Gone pierce all's on the, Pup List
brandon aiyuk is, still Hurt And juwan jennings is sitting
There going i'm gonna need you to give me something
And the niners may have to blink and do it because,

(52:39):
you know and then they Signed To. Marcus robinson he's
probably gonna get suspended to start, The, YEAR like i
don't know who's playing receiver week one if they don't
make that. Guy happy but it's nobody's fault that's actually having,
the conversations not the. Commander's fault it's Not the, niners
fault at least. Not originally It's not jennings or. Mclaurin's
fault this whole thing just got completely out. Of hand

(53:04):
and Unlike The deshaun watson situation where teams blew the whistle, and, Went,
hey browns you're dumb and we're not. Doing that, you're
dumb all the other teams looked at this, and, went,
yeah okay let's get. Behind it and, so, NOW Yes
t higgins is making twenty eight million and he's the
second receiver on the team that's out.

Speaker 4 (53:26):
Of control. That's nuts Good. LUCK cincinnati.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
I HAVE another Nfl point i'd like to run. By
you i'm watching season Two, of, quarterbacks okay and remember
the first the Season, Of Quarterbacks patrick mahomes was one
of the. Profiled players he's not, this time but he
made a cameo and it clearly defined an opinion for

(53:54):
me about HIM that i want to run by you
next and so we'll do that right around. The corner
glad you're with us tonight with E, From Salama. Mark

from the word hate is overused and just not a,
you know Not something i'd like to. Participate in but
people use it all. The TIME oh i hate it
when that happens. OR whatnot i won't use the. WORD

(55:03):
hate i really Don't Enjoy. PATRICK mahomes.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
I.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
DO not i really respect the football player. He is
this is by no means you will not hear me
and dismiss any of. His accomplishments i'll probably, stay away
at least for the most part of All, the oh
the Officials Love. Patrick mahomes i've seen all the memes.

(55:29):
Of this, you know this cold play a fair thing
that popped a few. Nights ago the one that made
me laugh the most is when They put mahomes face
on the guy and the officials face on, the girl
And it's mahomes just kind of canoodling with.

Speaker 4 (55:46):
The officials it's a. Good laugh but this isn't even.
ABOUT that i was watching season Two.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
Of quarterbacks one of the profiled quarterbacks this time Around Is,
joe burrow and.

Speaker 4 (56:01):
It took us through. Last season you may.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
REMEMBER this i Think it's week two, or three And
the bengals have a lead On the chiefs laid into,
the game and then essentially on the fourth down play
that would end, the Game the chiefs throw the. Ball
downfield they get a pass, interference call, correct call by,
the way and it sets up a very long field

(56:25):
goal That the chiefs then hit and win by a point.
Or Two ballgame BENGALS fall i think to zero, and
three and then It shows Mahomes joined burrow, at midfield
and there is the, most dismissive snooty drive by Handshake

(56:46):
from mahomes that you'll. Ever SEE and i don't get
too much into like the legislation, of handshakes but something
started to pop in my mind about the way this.
Usually goes I'VE. Seen cj stroud and many others around
the league stop at that, quarterback exchange especially with a,

(57:08):
young player, and, go, hey, man like we beat, you
today but HERE'S something i really like about what. You're
doing here's something you could. Work on and to sit
there and have, a conversation a respectful conversation that comes
from two guys that are playing in the same position.

Speaker 4 (57:26):
Pops to Mind that mahomes a have never heard him.

Speaker 2 (57:29):
Do That b i'll never forget the exchange that he
Had With josh allen When the bills had just Beaten,
the chiefs and instead Of, congratulating josh he complained about
the Refs to josh his opponent because he didn't like
the way the game had ended and Thought the chiefs had,

(57:49):
been screwed which is objectively funny according to anyone who.
Watches football the idea Of the chiefs being.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
Messed up by.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
The refs so it just has brought me to this
Spot where, i'm like you, know what forget all the
football that, You see forget being sick.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
OF him i don't Know.

Speaker 2 (58:11):
That patrick mahomes has the respect i'd love to see
him have for the other people who do what. He, DOES.

Speaker 3 (58:19):
Yeah i would agree. With that, you know he's not
everybody's cup. Of tea now this is not talking about,
his abilities. His performances it's, Sure greatness but, YOU know
i didn't like all my teammates possible right to be

(58:40):
in a locker room with that many individuals and, like
everybody but you respect him and you all have a. Common,
goal now being outside that, locker room you're free to
like and not like and talk about how much you
don't like or like somebody with no ramifications in the,
locker room he kind of keep it to yourself and
just go.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
To work.

Speaker 4 (59:02):
So he becomes a bit of. A whiner.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
With all the Success that patrick has had And the chiefs,
have had it just seems out. Of place like when something,
goes bad it's some one else's fault and that can
rub people the. Wrong way, it's, like, okay man take
it on the chin and let's let's let's keep. It,

(59:33):
pushing now Him and joe may not like, each other,
you remember, You know joe got in the middle of
something they were working on not too, long ago and
so it could be. That rivalry he could see him
as the one who could, you, know essentially, you know

(59:56):
compete with what we're calling the best quarterback in the
Even though josh is. Right there but these guys. Have
to josh got to beat him in the Playoffs And
joe burrow has so, you know it's it's one of
those Situations where i'm with you. On THAT like i
love Watching the. Chiefs play i'm A big, tradesmith Fan

(01:00:21):
so i'm pulling for Them because i'm pulling for him
and shout out, to him congratulations on a. Monstrous contract,
four years ninety four million dollars with. Seventy guaranteed reset
the complete market for. OFFENSIVE linemen i, you know he's

(01:00:44):
earned it as a former sixth round draft pick who
finally gets. His due Two Time super bowl, champion finally,
you know resets that market and he's a. Wonderful guy
reminds me of our, market center and That's the Seger.

on The, streets Of Toronto and scottie Scheffler won the

(01:03:15):
open by Four Strokes in northern ireland today after a final,
Round sixty eight rory McElroy fell to a tie, for
seventh place. Seven shots back we mentioned this during. The
first Hour apparently for scheffler it's now eleven straight victories
when he has the fifty, four hole lead so, in
other words going to the final round he closes the deal,

(01:03:35):
like this. Weekend eleven straight. That, is impressive, it's you
know the. Best Current streak tiger woods did that thirty
six tournaments in a row when he had the fifty.
Four whole lead he turned it into a victory thirty six.
In a row, back, to you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
Right Don't Bring up tiger woods when We Talk about
scotti scheffler, IS my opinion.

Speaker 4 (01:04:00):
I get it scotty's you'll, just slow down but that's.
WHAT we do, I get it i.

Speaker 2 (01:04:06):
GET it right i mean, that you know as soon
as somebody sort of establishes, themselves as great we start
bouncing their name up there, against the standard and we.

Speaker 4 (01:04:16):
Do, It too fast. There's no question but this. Is
NOT new.

Speaker 2 (01:04:21):
But i, just to me it's one thing when we're
talking about, a great athlete and then there are, others
that Transcend And and tiger woods was.

Speaker 4 (01:04:32):
Was clearly THAT and so i just sort of Look
at what.

Speaker 2 (01:04:35):
Tiger has done as, a different sport, if you will
because he brought his entire sport into a. Completely, NEW
domain yeah i was Watching golf right and, BY the
way i would argue that, in this, moment right, now
still today even with his his broken down body AND

(01:04:59):
in a i would need to compete at.

Speaker 4 (01:05:00):
The highest level we'll turn it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
On right now he's still a Bigger draw. Than scottish
shuffler we'll turn, question right, now right right, just to
see just to see what it would Look like watching
Jordan at the. Wizards right absolutely, by the way SPEAKING,
Of The, nba marcus smart you got anything you?

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
WANT to say i hope his body is healed and
and and. Can hold, up you know, once you uh
once you, start, breaking down man it's hard it's hard
to put those. Pieces, BACK together yeah i can tell you.
That from experience and he's been around for. A minute
too i've been around.

Speaker 2 (01:05:40):
For.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
A minute yeah he's been a great player until his
body really, start to, to you. Know break down, only
thirty one. Only, thirty one yeah but he's missed more
games these last two years than he's had his first
not his Nine, years in. Boston right right as, you

(01:06:01):
get older you, don't get healthier That's the. Thing i'm
saying but he will add Value. TO the lakers i just.
Need TO help what i don't need is someone else
injured on the bench and we're just watching them watch the.
Game like us the last couple of years have been riddled.

Speaker 2 (01:06:22):
With That, with the. Lakers that's all you can't have
the other big signing of the last. Twenty FOUR hours
and i know. THE dynamic well i spent twenty Years Living,
in LOS angeles so i know that anytime anything comes
up with great with Regard To The, los angeles clippers

(01:06:43):
it is flicked and. DISMISSED as, FUNNY.

Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
I know, I get. It i Understand.

Speaker 2 (01:06:51):
But the clippers were already pretty good and now They've
Essentially turned Norman Powell.

Speaker 4 (01:07:00):
Into bradley beal what's that?

Speaker 3 (01:07:04):
Do for you Nothing, and dismiss yeah because they got older. With,
less defense yeah so where what is it supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (01:07:25):
A little bit? More?

Speaker 4 (01:07:26):
Dynamic offensively yeah he was REAL dynamic and. I really
dynamic that thing was so that thing was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
REALLY so, poorly, I Mean look kevin durant. Was there
too that doesn't mean. He's not good what, happened is
no because he. Was still playing he was he. Was,
still good yeah but that was literally he. WAS still,
GOOD i.

Speaker 4 (01:07:49):
DON'T i don't i don't Know that The sons wanted
bradley be. Able, to play.

Speaker 3 (01:07:54):
Yeah but what happens when, as an athlete once you
get into one, of those situations. It becomes comfortable you
got to remember, What, He said oh i'm. NOT getting
traded i don't want, to, Get traded, RIGHT i'm. No
i don't he wasn't looking to go somewhere else and.
Play like that so now and get the buy out
and he comes, to the clips come Out. Here to.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
La it's nice he wants.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
To play again what?

Speaker 4 (01:08:22):
ARE you getting, i would, think all RIGHT we'll see,
I would, THINK i MEAN i. DON'T i don't i
don't KIND of get.

Speaker 2 (01:08:32):
I don't get my feathers ruffled by guys who might
be comfortable in, a certain spot even though it may
not look like, a winning spot especially someone, Who you
know bradley's got a family, and, you know yeah maybe they.

Speaker 4 (01:08:49):
Loved it.

Speaker 2 (01:08:49):
THERE that's okay i don't think that makes him a waste.
OF a player i didn't say it was a waste.

Speaker 4 (01:08:56):
OF a player i.

Speaker 3 (01:08:57):
Know you didn't i'm just still in the context of
putting a team. Together to compete what does that? Do
for me it doesn't DO much because i. Haven't seen much,
so You know the clippers they, specialize.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
In this.

Speaker 3 (01:09:17):
Right they'll bring a guy who was once the guy, In,
you know westbrook, And you know james Just sticking, with
james again and, It's It's, there vin, simmons, you know
yeah it's it's it's per. Usual, for me, yeah and

(01:09:40):
no it's classic.

Speaker 4 (01:09:40):
Little brother, BEHAVIOR YOU know, i I thought and I
know the rams won a, few YEARS AGO but i
i there's a lot of This.

Speaker 2 (01:09:49):
In Southern, california the padres to a degree have done
this to, where it's like are you building exactly a
great team or you just trying.

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
To get attention, attention AND manly and.

Speaker 2 (01:10:02):
I understand why i understand why there's none, here for you,
Right right exactly so You have to it's almost like
you're doing a balancing act between team. Building, and marketing
yes and those need to overlap a little bit less
with some.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
Of, those franchises yeah you got to be either or
if you're really.

Speaker 3 (01:10:23):
In, the hunt, now you know if you're really, in
the hunt you can't worry about, the, Marketing aspect right
like take THE we run la, billboards, Down please man, i'm.

Speaker 2 (01:10:35):
JUST like whoa i was down There for the july
FOURTH holiday and i drove by that arena for. The
first time like if you just dropped me from space
at that building with no logos or, anything and said,
What is this, i'd be Like is?

Speaker 3 (01:10:50):
It google's headquarters it's, the ride home that's. Like, the spaceship, yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:10:57):
It's right that is what. It looks like, by the
way speaking of, a ride home what a perfect way
to LEAD into another nba player who is being criticized
for where he's gonna. Play next year we can get
into that coming up next With Me From. Salama mark

(01:11:18):
willard Here In The Fox, sports radio studios And This

Was a kid.

Speaker 2 (01:12:04):
Well that happens wait till you have kids someday you
want to talk. ABOUT overplaying, things i mean you were probably,
Made to this so. That's also point have, some. DAMN
respect exactly i don't want.

Speaker 4 (01:12:16):
To hear that.

Speaker 2 (01:12:20):
That's actually a funny bit like a game show where
people kind of guess what song they.

Speaker 4 (01:12:25):
WERE made to.

Speaker 7 (01:12:27):
I thought It mine's, an arab. Song for.

Sports radio studios and speaking of, Families And kids damn
lillard has some he and just Say a little birdie

Of A friend but i Don't know that dame's loving

(01:13:13):
The whole like i'm going to Go off to milwaukee
to win a championship and miss. My kids' lives and
so he's going to Go back to PORTLAND and now
q all of.

Speaker 4 (01:13:25):
The.

Speaker 2 (01:13:27):
You know the debatetologists who are going To Come down
dame lillard's road for accepting mediocrity and not wanting to.
Win A championship and, i GET it but i just
don't happen to think that that. Has to be, FIRST
of all i have no idea what's going to develop

(01:13:47):
over the next handful of Years In. The western conference
portland got interesting. For a minute i'm not, saying TITLE
contention but i don't know what the next three or
four years of life are going to Be. Like in,
Portland number one, BUT number two i do not bigride
a guy, if, He's like look i've got a few
years left. In this career i've just. Torn my achilles

(01:14:07):
i'm not. The same PLAYER and also i, like My
kids so i'd like to go back home. Find my
name lillard said it himself when people were attacking him
and saying he'd never win a championship, in. YadA YadA, YadA, he,

(01:14:27):
Said Yo bro. And i'm paraphrasing when it's all, Said
and done i'm going to touch about, four hundred ms
which changes my. Family's life forever i'm Going.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
To be okay.

Speaker 3 (01:14:49):
What people fail to realize is when you're on a
mission to secure, generational wealth alone not, as a company not,
as a group not, as a conglomerate but you individually

(01:15:15):
change the socio economic trajectory of an entire. Family for,
generations for me that outweighs. A championship trophy and That's
what dam, lillard was trying.

Speaker 2 (01:15:35):
Is what.

Speaker 4 (01:15:36):
He was saying you guys are judging Me on if
i'm winning a.

Speaker 3 (01:15:45):
Championship Or not but i'm judging me on, if my
kids kids' kids get to do any and. Everything they want.

Speaker 2 (01:15:58):
That to.

Speaker 9 (01:15:59):
Me.

Speaker 4 (01:16:00):
Is.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Everything amen amen and, BY the way i would criticize
the person who did it, the other way they. WOULD
be crazy i would criticize somebody who did it, The
other way so when we do this, this, whole like oh,
you're you know and we see it a lot in
free agency.

Speaker 4 (01:16:20):
Through the years oh.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
You chose there.

Speaker 4 (01:16:25):
They're not. Going to win you must not, want to
win you must not. Be, that dog right we do this,
and it's like what is really at the core of,
all of this?

Speaker 2 (01:16:39):
What's really happening, and then oh, by the way to,
further the conversation take a look around at some of
the professional athletes who are so famous for. Not having
one does It Look like charles barkley doesn't? Enjoy his life,
you tell me? HOW'S he doing i think. He's doing

(01:17:01):
okay has he in fact continued to make even more bajillions?
ONCE done playing, i, Don't know, man, you, know like
yeah try to, Win A championship but i didn't know
it comes.

Speaker 3 (01:17:17):
From the outside like people don't Get It that dame
lillard Grew Up. In east oakland.

Speaker 2 (01:17:25):
There.

Speaker 3 (01:17:25):
Were no options he's an undersized guard Who Went. To
weber state he's going to amass over four. Hundred million
dollars it's incredible just in earnings on. The basketball court
and you mean to tell me you got a problem
with where he chooses to go play and what are?

Speaker 2 (01:17:47):
You kidding me, by the way he did FINALLY arrive
and i wonder what peer pressure had to. Do with
it he did arrive at a spot where he. Finally
out out, He got out he went to play with
one of the best.

Speaker 4 (01:18:02):
In the game.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
It didn't work he blew, his achilles up and he
wants to go. Home with, Us going home i'll, miss,
My kids right so y'all can go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
And, have it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:12):
Yeah that makes. Sense to me that that that makes
that makes total.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Sense to me speaking of money, AND building wealth i
think it's high TIME you and i talked about the
W n b a. From this week we'll.

Speaker 4 (01:18:25):
Do that next You're Listening To Fox sports radio.

Speaker 2 (01:18:31):
Off we go into the night broadcasting Live From these
Fox sports. At radio studios and we mentioned earlier how
different the world is during the age, of social media
and maybe this is part of. It as well i've
been itching to. GET to this i would love to
hear what you. Have, to say obviously we've got some
things to talk about with THE W n b A

(01:18:52):
And The all STAR game and t shirts to warm
up during the game that essentially said pay us what
you owe us, and totally understand this is just to
give people a frame OF reference, on WNBA money because
i don't think it's common knowledge how much. They all
make top salaries work in the neighborhood of a. Quarter,
Million dollars okay so if you live in a big

(01:19:15):
city and you work in ab or c, kind of
industry there's a real good chance that you might make
more than the best PLAYER. In, the wnba now people
are going to have different sort of, spins on that
but just to frame it for the start of the
conversation UP.

Speaker 4 (01:19:35):
Against the nba here's something THAT happened when i went.

Speaker 2 (01:19:41):
To do a SHOW at a Wnba Game when caitlin
clark was coming to town to Take On The golden
state valkyries for, the first time brand new expansion. Franchise,
this year however it is also the highest valued FRANCHISE in.

Speaker 4 (01:19:57):
The, Wnba ALREADY okay so i wanted to learn.

Speaker 2 (01:20:02):
A little BIT about the wnba salary cap based on
what the top players make and the cap.

Speaker 4 (01:20:11):
For each team here's essentially.

Speaker 2 (01:20:14):
How it works if you grab every PLAYER, in the
wnba like let's say every team, is capped out they
max their cap that covers every player in. THE whole
league i think, it's thirteen teams add up all of

(01:20:34):
the money that all of them make and put it.
Into one bucket that bucket the whole league makes one
Third Of what. Steph, curry makes now you can do
whatever you want. With that information i'm not saying that

(01:20:56):
that's fair. OR even unfair i would need to become
a little bit more of an expert ON what the
wnba produces as an entity to really come to like
an EXACT number THAT i think wnba. Players should make
i'm comfortable saying it's a hell of a lot more
than what. They make now But here's where i'll. Defend

(01:21:16):
the league you're ALL wearing a t shirt saying pay
us what, you owe us and your popularity is about
a year and. A half old so that's only one.
Aspect of this but, my point is does it feel
eve from like things are being asked for or that

(01:21:40):
this has been ramped up to like kind of let's
turn the volume, up to TEN let's wear t Shirts
At The? All star game? A, little quick LIKE was
the wnba supposed to know that this was gonna happen?
Three years ago were they supposed To Know. About caitlin
clark were they supposed to know that revenues would go?

(01:22:02):
Through the roof, in other words of course they're going
to make a, lot more money but you do also
have to get to a new collective bargaining agreement, before
that happens and they haven't, done that yet, and THEY
will so i guess that's just one observation. That surprised,
me it's like why are? YOU already angry i don't
even know that anything could have been done yet even if.

Speaker 4 (01:22:25):
They Wanted to.

Speaker 1 (01:22:28):
That?

Speaker 2 (01:22:28):
Is? That, fair yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:22:30):
Yeah IT'S fair, but I think if i'm not mistaken
just reading, UP on it i think the shirts were
in response to their, profit sharing.

Speaker 4 (01:22:45):
Sure which.

Speaker 3 (01:22:49):
In terms of not a dollar, amount percentage AMOUNT, so the, nba.

Speaker 4 (01:22:59):
The.

Speaker 3 (01:22:59):
LEAGUE and players i believe the players either get forty
nine or.

Speaker 4 (01:23:05):
Fifty one percent it's close, to its right it's neighborhood. Of,
fifty percent yes the.

Speaker 3 (01:23:11):
Women get like it's like one point seven, percent or
second like, this's something crazy it's.

Speaker 2 (01:23:16):
Higher than, that but yes. It's VERY low but i guess,
my point is isn't that part? Of collective bargaining and.

Speaker 3 (01:23:22):
That's why they're Wearing the shirts they're not saying pay
us like the men. Are being, paid they're saying, our
profit sharing, our revenue sharing needs.

Speaker 6 (01:23:35):
To.

Speaker 3 (01:23:36):
Be higher, FAIR right now. I get that i understand
that as someone, in the league you're. Generating this income.
All of that now they understand also that in, twenty
twenty five it was a pretty historic year for the

(01:23:57):
twenty twenty, four excuse me it was an historic YEAR
for the wnba enter the popularity and. All of that
it's still lost, forty million. Dollars thank you so what
repiso are you? Looking to SHARE the new tv deal.
That's coming in that's what. They're talking about that's where,
the negotiate like there will. Be more money there will.

(01:24:20):
Be more money there will be an opportunity for them
to be in the green or in the black after
The new collective bargain and, agreement comes IN the new tv.
Rights come in so what, they're saying is we. Know
that's coming we, want our share our fair share. Of

(01:24:41):
the pie that's. What it is it's not about we
want to make tens of millions of. Dollars a year
they there's not enough, viewers for that but the popularity
of it has expanded the globe in networks and streamers

(01:25:02):
are now VYING for these wnba games and packages and
so on. And so, forth so yes revenue. Will BE
up the tv deals, will be up, the streaming deals all,
of those things, will merchandising deals all of those things
go into this pot and they want a bigger percentage
of what are they like seven it's.

Speaker 4 (01:25:25):
In single digits it's in terms of.

Speaker 2 (01:25:27):
PERCENTAGE incredibly low i guess this is my point because,
EVERYTHING you said, i get it and.

Speaker 4 (01:25:32):
You nailed it but.

Speaker 2 (01:25:33):
Here's the point if you're driving around in a big
city and you see a, protest going on they're out,
on the streets, they got signs they're right out in
front of the business for, which they work and they
are protesting because. Of low wages if, You see that
i'm gonna go ahead and assume y'all have already been

(01:25:54):
negotiating for a long time and you don't like what
the other side is saying, saying to you so you.

Speaker 4 (01:26:01):
Are now protesting that's my. That's my. Assumption they're protesting
prior to it hadn't, even happened yet, they, Netiations already
right maybe it's. Not going well things.

Speaker 2 (01:26:16):
We Don't know maybe i'm sure there are things, we
don't know but that's how. IT struck me, I Was
like caitlin clark got here. A year ago you're not
allowed to.

Speaker 4 (01:26:27):
Be mad yet you, can be mad. But not yet.

Speaker 2 (01:26:31):
Nothing's happened yet you're OPERATING, under the cba, brand.

Speaker 4 (01:26:38):
New, signed that is it.

Speaker 2 (01:26:40):
Is still live like if if you get to the
bargaining TABLE and your cba expires and you hate what
all of the owners are, saying to you, get you
anywhere get, your pickets signed and, hit the streets but
you're wearing This At The. All star, game to me
It Felt like cherry pickett because like you're down there

(01:27:01):
at the other end.

Speaker 4 (01:27:02):
Of the court we're. Not there YET that's all, i
get that and and and that.

Speaker 3 (01:27:07):
Does make sense and the way they talked about it
at the, press conference after where this was this morning,
type of thing no one really knew it. Was, gonna
happen well the, shirts were made so somebody had an
inclination of this. Would go on and then to Kind
Of throw caitlyn clark, under the bus even though she
did wear the shirt of nobody from her team was

(01:27:33):
at the meeting that they had and it's.

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
Just.

Speaker 3 (01:27:36):
It's weird man the dislike that THEY have ARE i
don't i don't want to. Call It Dislike, like caitlyn clark,
in my opinion is one of the best things to
ever happen to the W.

Speaker 4 (01:27:57):
N b a i don't know how anyone could. Disagree
with you now you.

Speaker 3 (01:28:00):
Can come in and you can tell me, that YOU
know the wnba, has been. GREAT it has i have
full respect for the WOMEN. OF the Wnba i think
i've even told a story, of YOU know when i
was in THE league and i would go home in

(01:28:22):
off Season Work, with albion connie who was the head
Trainer Of the sacramento Kings And, the sacramento monarchs that
we would train and PRACTICE against the wnba team and.
It was aggressive and so my respect for the WOMEN,
of the. Wba it's. Immense it's immense but no one,

(01:28:42):
was watching right no one was talking about it on
daytime sports radio and television period outside of the programs that.
Specialized in that So Now, having caitlin clark who's, in

(01:29:04):
my opinion a, tremendous young Player Having, the angel reaesis.
It's it's exciting people, want a rivalry, their shoe deals
signature shoe. Deals Being done angel rees, just you know

(01:29:24):
showed her a me bound ones. On social media she
got a rebok. Her, me bounds now she took the
term me bound because you know a lot of her
rebounds come from. Her own mislayups so, she took that
like that negative and turned it into a financial, uh wind.

Speaker 2 (01:29:47):
Fall perfect, perfect self. Deprecation right man and so it's.

Speaker 3 (01:29:54):
The buzz around it is tremendous now and it's growing
because you got. The jujus coming you get the crop
of young women female BASKETBALL players, is i mean, it's some,
talent no talented. They can go and this is the
groundwork of the resurgence of this league that's been. Around

(01:30:17):
for decades, and so yeah you will have an opportunity
to negotiate, a better split better profit sharing percentage and.
Salaries will increase THE reason the nba salaries that they
just signed this, enormous rights deal THE reason the nfl

(01:30:38):
the salaries of what they are because they just sign this.
ENORMOUS rights deal i wonder WHAT a w nba. Franchise,
is worth right You, mentioned, The, valkyrie right yeah. THEY'RE
the top i know exactly what they're worth what? Are
they worth the number one team is worth five hundred

(01:31:01):
million dollars five, Hundred million dollars so, they're, TWELVE teams
correct i think thirteen Thirteen teams the. Lakers just sold
you can, buy the BUNDLE the whole wnba up and
still have.

Speaker 2 (01:31:19):
Seven billion dollars. Left right right and, by the way that's.
The top team they're not, all, worth that right not.
All worth Cloth so the lakers just sold for. Ten
billion dollars. We get.

Speaker 3 (01:31:34):
It we understand it's, just the money and the value,
is the money and the value the evaluations, are the
evaluations and so when, people start watching when networks and
viewer rights deals, start to escalate then that's. When salaries

(01:31:55):
grow THAT'S when now. I get it they should. IT shouldn't, be.

Speaker 4 (01:32:00):
I mean it's.

Speaker 3 (01:32:01):
Been Highway robbery what they've been losing tens of millions of.
Dollars for decades they have not, HAD one, season I
believe if, i'm not mistaken where they haven't been in
the red at the.

Speaker 2 (01:32:14):
End of it this is, Going, to change. Yes very
soon the change is on. The way now the thing
that you referenced the other, side of this the sort.
Of backhanded remarks You're Referring, to kelsey plum who did
kind of take A Shot at caitlin clark in.

Speaker 4 (01:32:36):
This whole process we want to let.

Speaker 2 (01:32:38):
You hear that we'll. Talk that out that's coming up
next With, He From. Salama mark willard You're Listening To. Fox,
Sports radio oh i'm looking forward. To this conversation we've
been hanging out for two and a HALF hours and
i feel like it's just about to get ramped up
all the way. To the top we're broadcast Alive In

(01:32:59):
The fox. Sports ready studios are glad? You're with us
reminded that the best pregame show every weekend. Is right
Here It's On. Fox sports Radio, it's called COUNTDOWN. Presented
By betmgm Every saturday, and sunday morning when you wake
up or when you start, your run around whatever it
is nine to Noon, in the east six to Nine,
in the west we count it down to all, the
biggest games. Whatever's going on so Tune in the COUNTDOWN,

(01:33:21):
presented By bedmgm Every saturday and sunday morning Right Here
On fox sports Radio and. The iHeartRadio app let me, Ask.
You this ephraim you PLAYED. IN the nfl i did
it a couple of times.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
For more. Than A, minute ben, you in.

Speaker 2 (01:33:37):
Fact even said earlier, in this conversation there's too many
PEOPLE in an nfl locker room for you, to like
everybody so you definitely. Don't like, everybody in fact the league,
IS so big i would argue you probably don't know
most of the other people. In the league.

Speaker 4 (01:33:57):
But how would it have landed to you.

Speaker 2 (01:34:01):
To the league if Every Single time tom, brady did something.

Speaker 4 (01:34:10):
Players around the league were there to, scoff at, it
dismiss it get upset about the way he went about,
doing great things how would that land?

Speaker 10 (01:34:29):
For the league, Wouldn't be good it wouldn't land like they.
WANTED it to i could TELL you that i don't
need everybody. To like everybody that doesn't. MAKE any sense
i don't want. To censor anybody but.

Speaker 2 (01:34:49):
There is a wild hypocrisy taking PLACE in the. Wnba
right now you're GONNA wear a t shirt that says
pay us what, you owe us but you won't stop
to give respect for one second to the person.

Speaker 4 (01:35:11):
Who's the reason you get to. Wear, Those shirts.

Speaker 2 (01:35:17):
Listen i've kind, of Had it and i'm not even emotionally,
invested in this BUT the entire wnba needs. A talking
to do not hit the streets and ask for money
when you won't even pay respect to the person who's

(01:35:37):
the reason that you get.

Speaker 4 (01:35:39):
To say.

Speaker 2 (01:35:39):
That it's bananas it's absolutely, out of control and the
whole world, seems to know except. For the players they
don't seem, to get it and every time someone gets,
upset about it they.

Speaker 4 (01:35:52):
Still DON'T Listen So Wnba, all.

Speaker 2 (01:35:56):
Star Game Everybody including caitlin clark wearing t shir that
say pay us what You all us and after the
game we Get This.

Speaker 4 (01:36:04):
From kelsey plum.

Speaker 2 (01:36:06):
That was a.

Speaker 9 (01:36:06):
Very powerful, moment we didn't at, least as players we
didn't know that that was, going TO happen so i
think it was kind of like. A genuine SURPRISE but
the t shirt just united front was determined this morning
that we had a meeting, for and, uh you know
not to, not to tattletale but Zero Members of team

(01:36:28):
clark were very.

Speaker 4 (01:36:29):
Present, For That actually team clark is the only reason
you even got to. Have a meeting.

Speaker 2 (01:36:42):
What in the hell is?

Speaker 3 (01:36:44):
Going ON here when, I heard that i didn't understand
the reason. For saying it thank You that's the that's
the point that that's rubbing me, the wrong way is
why would, You say it why would you even why

(01:37:04):
would you even put, that out there because there was
there was no need to put it out, There like that.

Speaker 4 (01:37:14):
There was no.

Speaker 3 (01:37:15):
NEED for that, I don't KNOW and so i don't
know if you're trying to talk about something that was such,
a unifying thing and in the moment you're talking about how,
unifying it was, you introduce, Right separationation right so it

(01:37:39):
was that was, a weird thing and she tried to,
laugh through it even if it. Was a joke, not
the time. Not the place i'm constantly telling my eleven
year old that he thinks he's a showman every second.

Speaker 4 (01:37:51):
Of the day.

Speaker 3 (01:37:54):
So it's it's one, of those things is you don't
take a shot, in that moment because you're now undermining
the whole image of together. Togetherness in unification it just

(01:38:16):
it seems like, it's tone deaf and they can't hite
this young.

Speaker 4 (01:38:21):
Lady this. Much they can't it. Can't be that it
must be it's got to.

Speaker 3 (01:38:26):
Be another reason it can't be that they are This
Bothered by caitlin clark and what she's BROUGHT.

Speaker 4 (01:38:36):
TO the wnba i don't, CAN'T be well i don't
know what else.

Speaker 2 (01:38:40):
IT could, be i mean the ONLY thing that i
can think of is the fact that this cash cow
who's arrived up at the league and it's going to
mean so much for all, of these players but they haven't.
Seen it yet that's THE only thing i. Can think
of and so the only thing it sounds like right, Now,

(01:39:02):
Is Oh. Caitlyn oh caitlyn and as you pointed out,
ten minutes ago the bricklayers for this entire thing have
been through the wars and have been making not enough,
money four years and so now all, of a sudden
here comes, someone brand new and everyone's telling them it's

(01:39:24):
going to be, a cash cow but it. Hasn't been
yet no one has really. Seen a dollar although even that's.
NOT technically, true i mean these names that we're talking
about have all kinds of name value that they didn't
a year and.

Speaker 4 (01:39:36):
A Half Ago, even kelsey, Plum You.

Speaker 2 (01:39:39):
Know kelsey plum let's be real OUT in the q
rating celebrity world was known best For Simply being, darren,
waller's girl yes, prior to now but now you're actually
having these ladies get, attention for basketball. Which is wonderful

(01:40:00):
it has not turned into the money that it's going to,
turn into yet and so at this point it still
just feels like we've been here working our butts off
and somebody else is getting all the credit and the,
attention for.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
It like it's THE only thing i. Can, THINK of
yeah i just.

Speaker 3 (01:40:17):
Don't get it it's really like in this, notion of
well we didn't know it was going to. Happen like
this somebody, made, the shirts right the shirts were made,
and brought there so there was some type of conversation,
about this happening, AND you know. I don't know i don't,

(01:40:42):
have the, answer But yeah Maybe steve de seger. Has
an answer he usually answers that. It usually does he's
got a.

Speaker 6 (01:40:50):
Lot of answers i'm glad you have brought this up
this hour because WHEN you when I saw the t
shirts of, course last NIGHT when the t shirts written,
say pay us, you owe us it makes it SOUND
like the wnba has been. Withholding payroll, checks i'm.

Speaker 4 (01:41:06):
Like did somebody committed? Will thought, OUT, i'm sorry o
who is? It charge, Here no one.

Speaker 6 (01:41:14):
There's NO one so i would say. To the players
what do you? Owe, the league because as you, guys
pointed out your league's been operating at a deficit for
thirty years and still stayed in business for you, little
mis entitlement what do?

Speaker 4 (01:41:24):
You owe them AND.

Speaker 6 (01:41:26):
Regarding comparing wnba, salaries TO others the wnba is at most.
Half a season actually it's always been less THAN half
an nba. Season, the equivalent so of course an executive
makes more money in your town THAN your star wnb he,
works twelve months she. Works TWELVE months if.

Speaker 2 (01:41:47):
I were, a wnba owner YOU know what i would
WRITE on my t shirt just simply the definition of. The,
word revenue yes you want. To split revenue there isn't
any they're never. Has been any if you'd like to
split ownership of this great you owe us twenty million dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:42:05):
For last, year like anyway it's this wild wild.

Speaker 6 (01:42:10):
AND the salaries nba are getting crazy because not just
because they have a fifty. To fifty split there's a, lot,
to split right you know you mentioned FROM the new
tv contracts that, start next year it's almost seven billion
dollars a year for the.

Speaker 4 (01:42:27):
Next eleven years there's a lot of splitting.

Speaker 6 (01:42:29):
Going on there, but YOU know the wnba isn't a
full season according to as comparing it.

Speaker 7 (01:42:34):
To other, sports YOU, know.

Speaker 6 (01:42:36):
The wta the williams sisters fought quite a bit for
equal pay for the women's tennis players compared to the
Men At. The, grand slams unfortunately there's this phrase called
equal pay, for equal work which, is a. Great great
thing equal work is. Not occurring, here you Know the

(01:42:59):
last wimbill And You've got carlos alcarez in company having
to go three to five hours on the court to,
win their title and the Winners check the wimbledon final
was less. Than an hour can you imagine spending money
for Finals tickets at wimbledon and it's done in? Fifty,
six minutes yo equal work, for equal pay there's not

(01:43:21):
equal work going ON in the wnba to compare their
season to the other sports that. Are going on there
are just so many things wrong with exactly what you've
been talking. About this hour i'm glad you.

Speaker 4 (01:43:31):
Brought.

Speaker 6 (01:43:31):
It up scotti scheffler Did win the open. By four

Is that clear force that's just like.

Speaker 6 (01:47:55):
One of the huge sports writers from eighty to one
hundred years. Ago put, it best he said the two
biggest stories in sports are big man wins. Or, big
man loses yeah so when you have, a big man
Established whether it's The yankees or the lakers or whomever,
it draws, the eyeballs.

Speaker 4 (01:48:12):
No doubt no doubt, Steve, GREAT, stuff tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:48:15):
Yep Yep appreciate it although scheffler is, an unlikely, big
man you know like he doesn't necessary and this. IS
not his fault i remember we used to have this
Conversation In baseball when mike trout burst onto the scene,
and everyone, was like Boy, boring and, so scheffler you.
Know he was like the most attention he got this

(01:48:38):
week was when he had a really weird press conference
about how unfulfilling winning golf. Tournaments feels to him and
if you haven't seen, that CLIP or, whatnot like i.
Know we've got it, it's a little lengthy but the
large point of it was he was just kind of
waxing philosophical about the whole thing and it made.

Speaker 4 (01:48:58):
A lot of sense, BUT it's just like i don't
know how you sink your teeth Into.

Speaker 2 (01:49:04):
The. Marketability, of scotti scheffler, YEAH he was like i
DON'T wake up like i gonna our need, to win,
this tournament and yeah you know it's it's.

Speaker 3 (01:49:21):
He's, doing something he loves doing something he's extremely good
at and. He's happy with that. He's happy, with it
you know there have been other greats. Who chase it down, tiger,
was chasing someone.

Speaker 4 (01:49:40):
Right. He was chasing jack, he he wanted it and
so just.

Speaker 3 (01:49:45):
The Perspectives are different the jordan You know perspective, Is
jordan was. Incessive kobe was, incessive, they, were, like, no
No no, yea what kobe? Say drafts not done we
wouldn't happy to just go to.

Speaker 4 (01:50:03):
Be in the. Playoffs, john's not.

Speaker 2 (01:50:04):
DONE no, but here i Mean listen, To what scheffler
said we'll, play it for you, BECAUSE in a way
i think he's.

Speaker 4 (01:50:09):
Speaking facts and it's proven by these guys.

Speaker 2 (01:50:12):
And we, love, it we're like, man they're such, competitors,
and it's like no they they climb the mountaintop and,
when they get there it, doesn't scratch the itch so
they need. To do It Again, Like, that's, tom, brady
like really dude you're gonna Go. Play for the buccaneers
and then he did and. It JUST keeps going and

(01:50:34):
i think That's kind of what. Scheffler was getting.

Speaker 11 (01:50:36):
At take a listen is it great to be able
to win tournaments and TO accomplish the things i have in.
The game of golf yet IT brings tears my i
just to think about because it's literally worked my entire
life to become. Good at the sport and to have
that kind, OF sense of accomplishment i think is, a pretty,
cool feeling you know to get to.

Speaker 4 (01:50:50):
Live out your. Dreams it's very special but.

Speaker 11 (01:50:51):
At the, End of the day i'm not out here
to inspire the, next. Generation of golfers don't i'm not
here to inspire somebody else to be the best, player
in the world.

Speaker 4 (01:50:59):
Because what's, the point you know this is.

Speaker 11 (01:51:00):
Not a fulfilling life it's fulfilling from, the sense of
accomplishment but it's not fulfilling from a sense of like
the deepest.

Speaker 4 (01:51:07):
Places, of, YOUR heart.

Speaker 2 (01:51:10):
Interesting right i don't know if it, makes anybody want
to Like Go buy a scottie shuffler shirt.

Speaker 4 (01:51:17):
Or, something like that no.

Speaker 8 (01:51:18):
But he.

Speaker 3 (01:51:18):
Has everything he has his perspective is exactly where, it
needs to. Be especially for him he's saying that IN
terms of whether, i win these tournament And this is what.
I'm SURMISING from it whether i win, or lose these
tournaments it's not GOING to alter who I am, and

(01:51:43):
what i'm doing because life is bigger. Than winning, THE
tournaments of Course i train and i'm, doing all of
that but that's not the, end All be all and.

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
I'm okay with that and it is kind of a
sometimes when you in it's, like this is amazing and
then a couple hours later it's, a little, bit like?
ALL right WHAT now i mean i even feel, that
as a fan your favorite team wins a title and
it's like you've been working for eight months with your heart,
and soul and blood sweat and tears and they, win,

(01:52:16):
