Speaker 3 (00:58):
But normally VJ it goes by Big Vanilla Funny as
one of his many many monikers, the the big Vanilla Funny,
not the moniker, the Big Vanilla Funny.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
The whole thing, like trout call. Quest got to say
the whole thing.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
All right, Well, I'm adding a new moniker to VJ,
and that is uh, it's coach Husky.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Coach Husky's coach Husky.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Because I sat there in the break room as I
was waiting for my drink to cool off in the freezer,
and I heard him breaking down the defenses that he
was gonna run, which kids he's trying to block from
the head coach from the other team to make sure
they got the high school transfer portal all in action,
VJ Husky Coach Husky, I should say, is ready for
football season?

Speaker 6 (01:44):
Husky prime baby? Yes, I am. Thanks for that, man,
I appreciate it. Yes, it's football season. It's officially official.
I said it back. I think what July fifth, once
we got yeh track, once we got through NBA, because
I feel, once we get through NBA free agency, right,
what are we what are we talking about now? The
Olympics were great, So the Olympics gave us so much
to talk about, right, but what are we doing after

(02:05):
u NBA free agency.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
We're waiting for training camp.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
We're waiting for training camp to start, and then once
that gets going, we have the Hall of Fame game, right,
and then okay, that's over, and then we're waiting for
the following weekend for preseason.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
But yeah, preseason just kind of it is what it is.

Speaker 6 (02:20):
You're not gonna see a lot of starters, if any, right,
guys that are gonna be selling the shorts, working at
the local gym or back at the local high school
somewhere at college somewhere coaching, not the knock them though.
That's the facts. That's what happens. Then the second week
you see a few more starters. But for me recently,
as of yesterday, I got a chance to coach my
very first high school UH scrimmage yesterday, And to me,

(02:43):
it was as we're sitting there national anthem, they got
the grill going at the concession stand. You see the
smoke bellowing up from the concession stand area.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
You smell the burgers and Friday night lights. Baby, thank you.

Speaker 6 (02:53):
I look down at our secondary coach you're standing next
to me, and I said, okay.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
It's football season, Like this is football season. So a
little Sirianni pre Super Bowl for you, little tear in
your eyes.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I was almost emotional yesterday because I love the kids.
When I forgot I'm forty six, I forgot what it
was like, honestly to be fifteen and be in their shoes.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
I have.

Speaker 6 (03:14):
I forgot what it's like, you know, to try to
learn a sport that a lot of kids really want
to play, and a lot of kids haven't played before
and nowadays Martin with flag football and with moms, honestly,
moms in America stepping in and not letting little Jimmy
and little Brian go at it at six and seven
and eight years old because of concussions and CTE. And

(03:36):
there was a movie Concussion by Will Smith. Right, There's
been so many things put out there that have told
the American mom, Hey, we're backing down having our.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
Kids, you know, you know, play contact football.

Speaker 6 (03:48):
Flag football is in la in twenty twenty eight for
the Olympics.

Speaker 4 (03:52):
Like think about it.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
Flag football has now made it to the Olympics before
full contact American football made it to the Olympics. So
you're dealing with a lot of kids. I haven't played
a lot of football, and it's about teaching. And I've
never been in this position. I've trained kids before, but
I've never been in this position where you're looking at
forty one. I told Ian our great other producer here

(04:13):
and editor, I have forty six new sons and that's
how I see these young men.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
So yeah, thank you for that.

Speaker 7 (04:18):
Man.

Speaker 6 (04:19):
It's it's football season and yes, coach. And it's weird
because when they call me coach Husky, I don't know.
I don't know they're talking to me. There was a
coach that said coach, he's talking, that's what he goes.
He said, coach husk as.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Oh, yeah, that's me. That's me VJVJ.

Speaker 8 (04:34):
I'm trying so like I'm I'm doing the whole because
I you know, I did high school football myself. Like,
so as a coach, like do you got the shades
on that? Are you one of the ones like the
big cowboy hackers? And I had I always had one
coach like the old young is like it's always like,
oh here comes it's coach and he's coming by boy
head coach.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yes, dude, go on my Instagram.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
I am sleeveless coacause the sun has been out, so
son's out out.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
So I'm trying to get get a little extra tan
for the summers.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Over.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
I am sleeveless ball cap, deon the deon type glasses, okay,
but but I roll.

Speaker 5 (05:10):
I roll my my joggers up like Mike McDaniel.

Speaker 8 (05:13):
Yes, I got the official. You got the official. Okay,
that's that's all right. All I need is the glasses
and then you got the Mike McDaniel. Look on the pants.
I'm all right, So that's not a whistle. I'm a
whistle swinger on the fingers, Yeah, that's yeah.

Speaker 6 (05:29):
Just when I'm not blowing it, I'm just you know,
like they just are you the disciplinarian?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Guya be like?

Speaker 8 (05:33):
All right, you don't get it running gassers running two days.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
No, we have coaches for that. I'm I'm a teacher.
I'm gonna teacher.

Speaker 6 (05:41):
I tell my kids, I'm not gonna be little you,
but I'm gonna coach the living hell out of I'm
gonna coach you hard, but I will never ever be
little you. And it trust me. It's it's working man,
It's it's fun. It really is just rewarding. Let's go,
thank you.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
There, you go.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
That's why I said, coach Husky because that was seven
minutes straight of high school football.

Speaker 5 (06:03):
Hey, it's best thing going, man, other than college and pro.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
It is Friday night lights, so it's valid right now.
It is Friday. Just to be clear, Yeah, it's Friday.
It's Friday right now.

Speaker 6 (06:13):
And there's teams playing now like some of the top
upper echelon your modern days, your Bosco's, your Bishop Gorman's,
they get they get going early. One of the top
sophomore running backs went off last night.

Speaker 5 (06:23):
I forget.

Speaker 6 (06:23):
The team is just blowing my mind. But no, there's
teams that are that are their schedules going. It's it's
on now, it's love.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Let's transition to the pros now, Yeah, because uh, you
know when the Cowboys had these offensive running the running
back position has been a hole right pretty much since
Zeke Elliott left. And I'm not saying got plugged in
with the replacement of Zeke Elliott right because that didn't
exactly help. Just you know, it's like the he goes
from Rocky to the Expendables. In terms of Sebasto Saloon

(06:52):
being able to carry a movie, it's kind.

Speaker 4 (06:53):
Of the same story.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Ezekiel Elliott and the cow and the Cowboys in the
Dallas Cowboys backfield in what twenty seventeen to where he
is now? But Michael Parsons took some snaps at running
back and as a result, now he says.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
That where's it? I got it right here? He says.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
Maybe when I'm thirty and I'm on the way out
of here, I'm gonna say I'm either playing offense or
I'm retiring. Jerry, I'm at the end of the road.
I'm either living my dream or I'm not. So when
I'm thirty, I might get finally get my carry, or
I might play tight end like big wit Jason Witten.
I can block too, I can do it all. I'll
finally get my offensive dreams when I'm on May out

(07:34):
of here, and I just don't know if anybody has
told Michael Parsons about the plight of the running back.
But after thirty at running back, they have no interest
in you, especially if you spent the first seven years
of your career playing edge.

Speaker 6 (07:45):
Yeah, what are we doing here? What are we doing
with Michael Parsons?

Speaker 5 (07:48):
What are we doing here?

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I think what Mike is doing is he's trying to
get paid.

Speaker 6 (07:53):
He's trying to tell Jerry because Jerry's made it very
known he's not in the rush to do any of
this Martin, and I told her. With Martin and VJ,
I believe, either take care of Dak or you take
care of Micah before CD. I just think that's the
way the pecking order should go. That's what I said
before when it was all about Zeke's deal and Martin
and Dak, those are the three guys before, right, And

(08:14):
they took care of Zeke first, and now you see
where they are. If you do that again with another
skill position receiver, you're gonna be in the same place again.
So I think Micah he's got a great personality.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Man.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
You could tell he'll be doing something really great with
his life after football. It'll probably be some type of
television or radio. But trying to play offense and defense, like,
come on, man't we don't do that in the pros.
It's too fragile, Guys can get hurt. It's just too
much money. The money is too astronomical Martin to even
try to do this. That's why I said, what are

(08:46):
we doing? Because there is no way I'll ask you
do you think Michael Parson's gonna ever see the offensive
side of the football for the Dallas Cowboys, Yes or no?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
No, I don't, But I do think that this is
we're getting to a point with Michael Parsons and some
of his comments where like it's all of this works
really well if you're winning right where you have the guy.
I mean, to me, this is a joke. He's joking, right,
Maybe it's a joke with half truth.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
It reminds me a lot of Anthony Say it feels
a little bit. Look, it reminds me to me.

Speaker 3 (09:16):
It reminds me of Anthony Edwards where he'll come out
and say like I'm the number one optional team USA
and he'll say it with the wink and a smile.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
But you know, like for for him to even say it,
it crossed his mind, right, do you know?

Speaker 3 (09:29):
Like how Yeah, but that's why I said, like Michael
Parsons to me is saying this with the wink and
a smile. But you know, if he said it at all,
it definitely crossed his mind as something that was like
as a matter of fact, hell yeah, he's probably he
probably is to say when he was the same age
as some of the kids you coach was like, Yeah,
may you remember what I ran for two hundred and

(09:49):
forty yards in a game against Bishop you know, Sullivan
or whoever, like on the west side. Yeah, Like that's
what he's probably thinking and remembering right now in this
moment and saying this.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
But the Cowboys right now are in this.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Very interesting, per and precarious predicament with these three guys.
And Micah has the longest till this contract comes to term,
but he's still eligible for extension, right CD obviously saying
both Dak will be a free agent at the end
of this year if he doesn't get a new contract,
as we all painstakingly know from all summer of the

(10:25):
same conversation, like, this is a season for the Cowboys
in which it is a prove it, Like it's the
ultimate put up or shut up, prove it or don't
for the for the if the players want to remain Cowboys,
which I'm not saying that is the ultimate goal.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
For some of these playoffs.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
So for those three guys, Dak, CD, Micah, otherwise they
be paid by now.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
Otherwise they be paid.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Like I think it's evident when you look at it
that in the regular Their regular season success when you
compare the regular season success of some of the other
players who have been highly paid and comparable at their position,
dictates that they would be paid by now. They would
have gotten paid by now. The regular season it's in
Dallas right now. It's about what happens in the postseason.

(11:10):
And I think you're in a position where Jerry Jones says, look,
I'm not cutting this check unless I see some success
in the postseason. I see what twelve wins gets me,
and it's not worth spending to the highest paid quarterback,
highest paid wide receiver, at the highest.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Paid defensive end in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
I feel all that, But what's the ultimate goal in
the NFL, Martin, is to win?

Speaker 4 (11:30):
To win? What though? To win the Super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (11:32):
Okay, all right, so they can get to the postseason.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
Check.

Speaker 6 (11:36):
They got one playoff win two years ago, I believe
it was. They got a playoff win two years and
two seasons ago. Last year they got trounced at home,
but two years a go. Okay, so they got a
playoff with right. Check if you're telling me that his mindset,
Jerry Jones, because he's playing a very dangerous game of
chicken right now.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
But if you're telling me.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
His mindset is, you know, I gotta they gotta win.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
A super Bowl to get paid.

Speaker 6 (11:57):
If you pay the guys and they get to a
divisional game, which they haven't now, or they get to
a conference championship game, you're you're talking about maybe playing
in the game of chicken and saying you gotta win
two more games because they're not going to the super
Bowl and they're not gonna win the super Bowl because
they don't have a super Bowl team.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
I don't think super Bowl is the limit, though, I
think they have if they go out. If they had
the same offs the same postseason that the Green Bay
Packers had, It's like if they had gone if it
had been flipped right in the Cowboys round, Well the Cowboys,
but remember how that game went right. So it matters
how the game went like that. That matters in this

(12:36):
grand calculus in my opinion, when you're looking at this.

Speaker 4 (12:39):
So that's the whole reason why I'm making these point about.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
These quotes is these quotes would hit so much differently
if they were a team on the upswing, like the
Packers are a team that you would consider on the upswing.
After the way that they went to Dallas and trounced
them on the ground, running right through them and then
pushing the eventual NFC champions to the brink up double digits,
right pushing them to the break up double digits. If
they had gone now and done the same thing, like

(13:02):
if they had gone and ran through Green Bay and
then push San Francisco to the brink, I think that
I think that we'd be looking at an entirely different scenario.
I think we'd be looking at differently paid guy. And honestly,
I think Dallas they loves contract as well. See but see,
Dallas is just different. I get what you're saying, and
I'll slightly agree with it, but Dallas is just it's
just different because if they got to the divisional round,

(13:24):
no one's gonna just lay off of them. Because they
got to the divisional round right day. Dallas is a team.

Speaker 6 (13:30):
That's why I asked, hey, super Bowl, you know me, Martin,
you gotta pay your guys. You can't play around with this.
It costs you more later, pay who you need to
pay now. And then look, only one team wins it,
and they're all chasing Big Red and Number fifteen in Narrowhead.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Every all thirty.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
One teams are chasing that coach in that quarter. We
say it costs you more later.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
That's with the expectation that you eventually are gonna pay
the bill, right like, if it doesn't cast trust you
anymore later if you don't eventually end up paying, like
I agree, the smartest move would have been to sign
all these guys up a year to two years ago,
depending pay that last year, depending on when they were
available to be extended. That's the smart and pragmatic move.

(14:15):
But if you have the feeling that you're never going
to pay the bill, you're never going to pay the bill,
you might as well do whatever.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
The hell you want.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
So then Jerry could be thinking, and I'm just asking,
he could be thinking, hey, look, it's been a great run.
We're gonna have to rebuild this thing at some point.
I much rather have more money than to rebuild than
pay these guys now and then still have to rebuild
three four years down the line, which is which is fine,
because Jerry Jones had a Doubt team four straight years

(14:44):
they went four and twelve, like he's had those runs
in the early two thousands, so he knows what it
feels like to be down and then get some money
and get back into the game. I just I just
think you're playing a dangerous game of chick in here. Man,
you gotta start to pay one of these guys.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
I'll tell you why.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
I think that Darry Jones feels comfortable in that game
of chicken coming up next, and also a quarterback competition
that feels like, is this what are we doing here?
Why is this even a conversation at all. We'll get
to that coming up next. Martin Wis's Vida Husky in

It's the way that tire buying should be.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
So VJ and one of my favorite Yes, this could
have been an email moment and actually was an email problem.
The NBA schedule has been released all right, at least
the number of nationally televised games. Well, this is on
the heels of the most watched basketball game that I
could think of in the last at least three years,

(16:57):
the Gold Medal game and the quick games leading up
to it. And it seems that the NBA schedule makers
instead of looking at the growth potential, They're like, you
know what, let's keep giving the.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Same, old, same.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
This is a league to me that is in desperate
need of establishing new young stars.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
When you look at the Olympics that.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
We just ran, right, the three unmitigated Kings of the Hill,
so to speak, from that Olympic team, Lebron, Steph Curry,
Kevin Duran, Right, those were the three guys that we
were looking at as like, man, boom, this is this
is crazy, right, this is this is these are the
three you know, having conversations like, man.

Speaker 6 (17:42):
This is just last week, how'd you feel watching them
probably for the last time, to get like we talked.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
About a lot, y'all, and so knowing that, like you
said last week, said, how does it feel to watching
these may be the last relevant games that we see
them play, the last high stakes games that we see
them play. The NBA must have heard that if they said,
just in case, we're gonna make sure you guys see
all of their damn game. Twenty seven of the Lakers

(18:11):
games are nationally televised. Twenty four of the Warriors games
are nationally televised.

Speaker 4 (18:17):
They are two of.

Speaker 3 (18:18):
The top five teams with nationally televised games.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
And both going to be playing teams.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
But go ahead, both of them will be playing team.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Absolutely the Boston Celtics twenty six, Okay, defending NBA titles.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Champion makes a lot of sense, right, I think that
should be about thirty though, twenty six, pills Low, I
got you. They're in the They're in the correct neighborhood,
young stars, Brown t hat them.

Speaker 3 (18:44):
That's what you think? Okay, the Knicks get it. Go
New York Go, New York Go. It's kind of like
the Cowboys. If the Cowboys are good, then the NFL
ratings as a whole will soar. If the Knicks are good,
the NBA rating as a whole will soar.

Speaker 4 (18:56):
How many they have? Twenty four? All right? The Mavericks
with twenty three? I get that, all right?

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Luka doncic Western Conference Finals representative.

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Right after that, Kyrie, you get Clay in the fold
this year exactly.

Speaker 5 (19:08):
Not mad at it.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
But what the two that I cannot understand though?

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Uh oh, can I guess?

Speaker 4 (19:14):
Sure?

Speaker 5 (19:15):
One is Minnesota.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
They are on the list of ones that I can't exactly.
I know it is because you're I know, I answer
you a guy, and I'm with you. I don't know
the number, but if you're bringing it up, you're not
happy with the numbers on Brightly and not gonna be
happy to number hit me.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
Minnesota has nineteen sorry eighteen national televised game.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, that's bad.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
That is trailing the seventy six ers, the Nuggets, and
obviously the first five that I named the Suns also
at nineteen games. To me, if you are trying to
build this league up, we are going to know.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
What Lebron does.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
We are going to know what Steph Curry does, like
because those are the nationally tell like because those games
nationally televised are not those are going to be the
ones that are discussed in the a block of all
the reaction shows the next day.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
Those are gonna be the ones. Those are gonna be
the one even on nights they don't play, sure because.

Speaker 6 (20:06):
Because they might play that night, I play tomorrow night
the Kings beat the Spurs.

Speaker 4 (20:11):
What does that mean for the playing chances for the Laker? Yeah? Yeah,
right like that.

Speaker 3 (20:16):
Like, we are going to know because these are where
everybody else pays attention to, right, you know what I'm
to be that Oh yeah, Ion hamstring. Watch again, if
he gets healthy care, they knock the Lakers out of
their playing right, Like those are the lord the timeline
are the storylines that will exist. But the one So
you're right in that Minnesota, I would have liked to

(20:39):
see that bumped up a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
I could see as many. I was just about to say,
line them up with the Knicks.

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, like line them up young up and coming teams. Right,
do we know if they'll be great next year?

Speaker 4 (20:51):
No?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Will they be as good as they were last year?
We're not sure yet. We probably lean yes right now,
but we'll see the star.

Speaker 4 (20:59):
They have a young duddy, say they have the young star.
Put this guy on TV now, the one that.

Speaker 6 (21:04):
To me is the most egregious. Got try to take
another site go for I got two teams, so I'm
an cheat here. It's either OKC or the Spurs. It's
Oklahoma City.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
Wow, boy, you see what three years going on? Three
years together?

Speaker 7 (21:17):
That does?

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Man?

Speaker 4 (21:18):
Is that camaraderie? Yeah? And just okay.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
I get that these are not first place finishes, but
when you finished second in MBP voting and then you
finished second and Rookie of the Year, especially in a
year in which you had an MVP that played out
of his mind, right, So it's not like what like
a normal MVP year.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
It's kind of like MVP going away.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Right, And then you had a Rookie of the Year
which was in the same boat. Like it's not one
like an MVP year where it's like, oh damn, we're
splitting hairs between shooting percentage and and rebounding, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
No, No, it was pretty much yok, We're well good
with that Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
Victim of Ajama could play forty games and then he
would have got Rookie of the Year. Like it was
kind of it was his to lose. But if he
didn't exist, everybody would have been nobody would.

Speaker 4 (22:10):
Have been looking at him.

Speaker 3 (22:10):
Been like man week year for like like this year
in the NFL, like kind of like week year for MVP.
You know, it's like like you kinda kind of really
make a case. There's no clear cut guy who threw
for six thousand yards and fifty five touchdowns and five interceptions, right,
you know what I'm saying. There was no clear cut.
It wasn't like that there were there were. It was
one and then everybody else. But this gap between two
and three was still pretty significant where these guys are stars, right,

(22:34):
He wasn't like you were pulling hairs trying to find
somebody else to fill in like the like. It wasn't
like one guy got ninet nine percent of the vote
and then anyway, I'd believe.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
What's the number four? Ok se san Antonio san Antonio
is thirteen Wow? Wow?

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Seriously, I agree with san Antonio because san Antonio's best
case scenario for the Spurs this year, in my opinion,
is winning thirty eight games.

Speaker 5 (22:56):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 6 (22:57):
You got to show big, but it does not matter.
You gotta show bit, but.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
We gotta show It's gotta be a mix because you
can't just be the LaMelo Ball hour on national TV
because he's a young star, but his team is terrible.

Speaker 4 (23:10):
Do you see what I'm saying. It can't just be
that there's.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Not gonna be some level because because here's the we
gotta see guys and we have to see guys nationally
throughout the season that are going to be the guys
that are making postseason runs in the late season that
I look at.

Speaker 6 (23:26):
I can do without the Lakers being number one I
think that's atrocious. And kodin state at twenty four. Boston
needs to be at thirty from twenty six, Minnesota needs
to be at twenty five. I could even give three
or four more games to the Nicobacas, because once again,
it's New York, it's the Big Apple, it's Gotham City.
You feel what I'm saying, Like, plus, you know one
of them is built in Christmas Day. Oh whoa, whoa exactly,

(23:49):
But okay, see you, it's funny man, your teas to
the break. I thought we were gonna come back. I
didn't look ahead on the rundown. I thought you were
talking about the WNBA. I thought that's where you were going.
And then I shot out of here to go use
the restroom and come back. And now I'm looking at
this like.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Wow, he's right.

Speaker 6 (24:04):
We the league they say they want to push the
young stars. Here's an opportunity to do so with legitimate
young stars. Look at okc's roster that's full of young stars.
How do they not have more games than honestly the
old guys. Where's the suns at? How many of the
sun setting at.

Speaker 3 (24:22):
They're ninth right, I'm sorry, right above? How many Minnesota nineteen.

Speaker 6 (24:27):
Okay, so I promise you, out of those nineteen games,
we'll see their big three play together, probably about six
of them. So they're gonna have thirteen actual televised games
where either Durant, Booker or Bill or not on the floor,
or maybe two of them won't be on the floor,
or maybe all three of them won't be on the floor.
This is why I got a team like San Antonio.
I don't care if the team is bad. Let's stop

(24:50):
acting like the NBA cares about teams.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
The NBA right now.

Speaker 6 (24:54):
Is completely on a superstar run. They don't care about teams.
It's obvious by I'm saying the Lakers get twenty seven
national televised games. We know the Lakers are going no
further than first maybe second round, and if not that,
they're gonna be a.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Playing team and they're gonna be eliminated.

Speaker 6 (25:12):
Then everybody will get blamed, Polink will get fired, and
it'll be the same reset and story all next offseason.
Golden State Warriors, everybody know how I love Steph, that's
my guy. But this is not a championship team anymore.
It's not a championship franchise anymore. They've blown that by
and I was wrong at first about it, but by
giving Draymond that money and shipping off Jordan Poole was

(25:36):
the was the nailing the coffin to any chance that
they have ever to win another NBA Championship. Boston, the
defending champions to me, should always be thirty and more
if the defending champions shall always get fit. And it's Boston,
it's a big market. Martin like people, you either love
or hate Boston. You ever met anybody that's kind of
in the middle of Boston's like, you either hate the
Celtics or you love them, right, I hate them.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
I'm a Pistons fan.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
I can't stand the Celtics so but I always want
to watch him because I want him to lose.

Speaker 4 (26:02):
But I just Minnesota again. I can see bumped up.

Speaker 6 (26:05):
Okay, see the San Antonio one WARLD just disagree on Victor.

Speaker 4 (26:09):
He just showed us an the Olympics. He's the next guy.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
I want to see the point the reason San Antonio
is I want to see Like when we got to
this year's postseason, right, Anthony Edwards had had a few
viral ish moments right where he dunked on John Collins
had a couple other plays that just happened throughout the
course of the regular season, those game quotes and stuff.
You know, then you see his then you see his

(26:33):
star take another turn in the in the postseason as.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
They start to as they start off so hot.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
Very similarly to on the west of the Eastern side
of things, Tyres Halliburton. Why he didn't have the same
not this exactly the same charisma as Anthony Edwards. I
would say he had a similar year in terms of
going from a guy who was kind of not just
a guy, but a star level player to now an
All Star are all NBA Conference find Like, but you

(27:00):
see that, right, But we didn't see that out of
Tyres Halliburton. We we're hearing about it because we're not
watching it on national TV. When you look at the
way the NFL does their schedule, like they highlight these
young players. They're gonna holler, they're gonna they're gonna put
the number one overall.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Pick on hard knocks.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
They're gonna put you know, they're gonna put where are
you Chicago?

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Okay's cool?

Speaker 3 (27:23):
If you're Trevor Lawrence, guess what we're gonna put you
on prime time.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
You got some Monday night games. I got name we're.

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Gonna see, Like is that is Jacksonville the same size
of a market to say New York, or like we're
always gonna see a New York Cowboys game. Almost always
gonna see that early in the season before the Giants think.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
It's always gonna be Fox's afternoon late.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
You're gonna see that game and that in that big window.
We'll see the forty nine ers in that big window.
But like this year we're gonna see or like when
Arizona got Kyler Murray, guess what we were seeing Arizona
in the big windows. People want to see the number
one overall. People want to see these young players and
you rank me. Basically, you bring them out and cycle
them out if you're the NBA, until one resonates. Instead,

(28:09):
they keep playing the same old songs and this is
the top forty site Lebron steph KD. And it's like, guys,
part of the reason why this is the case because.

Speaker 4 (28:17):
This is what you keep giving people.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
Yeah, So Alyss, I pulled up here because I said
it ding a curcial break. Now I got natural televised
because including NBA TV, you want to hear these numbers, sure,
including NBA T Where do you think the Lakers are at?

Speaker 4 (28:30):
Including NBA, including NBA TV.

Speaker 6 (28:33):
This is the list I said doing commercial break, I saw,
this is the one I saw tweeted out.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
I'd say they right now aver twenty seven. That's just
across the broadcast partners, YEP. On NBA TV, I'd say
they're what thirty five?

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Thirty nine games?

Speaker 6 (28:46):
Almost half of Laker games are either gonna be on
you know, TNT or ESPN or NBA TV. Right behind
them Golden State at thirty six, Celtics at thirty four,
Nick Obocas, I love this, thirty four. So they got
so they gave them extra games on NBA TV alone,
So the niggabox has got ten extra added on from

(29:06):
the other platforms. Then as Dallas Sons, Nuggets, Buck Sixers,
Timber was okay, see, uh, Spurs get kind of Spurs
get bumped up, they get some more, they get some
NBA TV love, they get twenty one with the NBA
TV added to it.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
So, and last, who do you think is the worst? Martin?

Speaker 6 (29:22):
Well, you got the list in front of you. It's
the top for it's the top for three teams probably
they're probably all NBA TV games.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
Three teams that the Detroit Pistons, the Washington Wizards, and
the Charlotte Hornets.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
No, you got one right.

Speaker 6 (29:36):
You got Pistons, Trailblazers, okay, and the Raptors only have
four national games including NBA TV, And I guarantee you
they're all on NBA TV. Those games are not. They
did not put the Pistons on ESPN. I can I
maybe T and T, but they're definitely not on ESPN.

(29:57):
But I agree with you. And when you look down Houston,
how do you cause that's your that was your squad
last year. As far as hey watch this team and
I'm this year, I'm putting them in the playoffs. But
once again, we're not gonna know anything because they only
got eleven games.

Speaker 4 (30:09):
Yeah, we're not gonna be able to see h I'm not
so sure about that anymore.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
Why not you changed Soka? You were close, bro, They
were right there last year. They just kind of fell
apart the last six or seven games in the season,
but they were right there to really try to push
for that play in. I I think I think we
may the guy could fight out.

Speaker 4 (30:25):
Coach de Pell.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
Excuse me, I think he can fly out. Coach de Pel,
I think there'll be a lot.

Speaker 4 (30:30):
Better this year. Coach em Doka. It's doctor Umar Johnson.

Speaker 6 (30:35):
Yeah, doctor Umar Johnson.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
He's funny.

Speaker 9 (30:40):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
Coming up next?

Speaker 3 (30:41):

Husky coach husky to you all of you jerks. Uh
filling it right now from Jason that you gotta we
gotta get a whistle. Alex like like you know, Lego,
I almost brought my wistle.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
That wuld have been too much. We did a whistle sound.

Speaker 5 (31:51):
See, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker 6 (31:52):
If I did that, I thought, yeah, you guys would
have got Oh he's trying to show everybody who's calling.
And I I purposely took it off and left it
in the car because I looked down. I was like, oh, no,
I am not about to walk in here, and I
got to hear some no, I'm not taking.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
My whistle whistle in here. I'd be furious. There you go.
We could probably turn that down a lot.

Speaker 6 (32:12):
I will say, this's just real fast. I had to
buy another whistle because the one I ordered from Amazon.
I went to blow it and the kids laughed at
me and the other coaches.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
He go like, husky, what kind I say? I don't know, man.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
I tried it again and not yet it did not
sound like a real whistle. When I left practice that night,
I went right to Target and I bought a brand
new whistle. I'm like, they're not gonna climb me over
my whistle out here again. They'll never take me. Serious man,
shout out to Birmingham. So I gotta let my guys
know I love them.

percent off at free shipping, ad Code Radio and getaf

(33:01):
so Vjay. Yes, sir, we have seen varying approaches to
the preseason based off some of these rookie quarterbacks and
their exposure to the NFL. One Drake may got what
a handful of snaps in Game one, then quadrupled his
snaps in Game two, playing a lot of the second

(33:22):
and third quarters, six for eleven passes forty seven yards.
Not exactly going to place him in Canton day one.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
But also, hey man, and they may can'ton Dame one baby. Well,
I'm just being sarcassic, but Gerard Mayo says that basically.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
On Drake May when he's ready and if he's better
than Jacoby Brissett, he'll start, which to me just led
the question why why why is that the actual the
position of the New England Patriots right now?

Speaker 4 (34:02):
Because did you if if you think.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
That Jacoby Brissett or I should say like this, if
you think that Drake May is not better than Jacoby Brissett,
why would you draft him with the third overall pick
in the NFL draft? You would hope that you're gonna
get if you're gonna draft a quarterback, Like I'll put
it like this, is c J.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Stroud better than Jacoby Brissett right now? Yes? Yes, not close?
C J. Strou was Las years number two pick. You think,
like I'm just saying close. It's not like I get
what you like.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Like we're not Like if your quarterback as you drafted
number three is not right now better than Jacoby Brissett,
then he probably should have been a fifth round pick.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
No, no, no, this this goes to you don't think
so think about Trey Lance.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
Jacoby present better than Trey Lance probably so like you know.

Speaker 6 (34:55):
What I'm saying, like they might they might be, they
might be. I don't think Jacoby Present is good. Okay,
you're matching up against you're matching up against number two,
number three picks. I got you. But we we talked
about this, Martin about quarterbacks before. What's happened in the
NFL is every year when you're really bad and you

(35:15):
don't have a quarterback, you are almost kind of forced
to take one. If you have a high draft pick.
You can't afford to miss that year because Drake May
could be the guy. Jaden Daniels could be. It could
be the guy. Uh JJ's out now for the year.
Bow Knicks could be the guy. Cayleb Rially, Caleb Williams

(35:36):
could be the guy like you, you can't. You're almost forced
to take a quarterback because you need one, and we
know if you don't have one, you have zero shot.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
But remember check this.

Speaker 6 (35:50):
They took two quarterbacks this year because Joe Milton is
on this is on this roster. Former Michigan Wolverine finished
his career at Tennessee behind ending Oker, So.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
They had to they had to.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
You got me watching the Giants off season hard knocks, right,
did they not toy and think about trying to move
up to do what draft a quarterback, even though they
have Danny Dimes at least for one more year, and
there's gonna be a slow quarterbacks next year. But what
were they thinking about doing this season was moving up

(36:23):
from six to possibly go get a quarterback.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
They had a real long meeting about it.

Speaker 3 (36:29):
Now, I'll tell you this, I agree with you in premise,
but in practice. The reason why I should say this,
the number one reason that flies in the stand of
your logic, is also the same reason why Jerry Jones
probably feels a little bit comfortably foolishly so, mind you,
but feels comfortably with where he's at. You look at
the last two franchise quarterbacks that he drafted. One of them,

(36:52):
Tony Romo, was undrafted. Dak Prescott was a fourth round
pick in a year that they weren't, you know, and
those two guys like Dak betting.

Speaker 4 (37:01):
How you look at.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
It, a top you know, in between five and fifteen
best quarterback in the NFL, I mean top five quarterback.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
I got top ten, but forge I got.

Speaker 4 (37:10):
To depending on where you where you are in your rankings.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
But also you look at this conference, top what three
quarterback in the conference in the NFC?

Speaker 5 (37:20):
Just real quick, real quick.

Speaker 3 (37:21):
Yeah, yeah, top three quarterbacks at worst, at absolute worse,
you got the top five. Yeah, oh, absolute worse, you
got the top five. If you hate it, yeah, yeah,
you're hating that. Jerry Jones has found two franchise level quarterbacks,
guys that can consistently that can show you they can

(37:42):
consistently get you.

Speaker 4 (37:43):
Into the playoffs. Now, will you have a playoff success?

Speaker 3 (37:45):
Different story, but you can find guys that will consistently
get you into the playoffs deep rounds outside of the drafts.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
He's done it back to back years.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Last twenty years of Cowboys quarterbacks have been guys that
were not drafted on Day one or two of the
NFL draft.

Speaker 6 (38:00):
Non witch, I had him at six. I pulled my
list off just at six, and you're right back to
back gears. He's almost like a guaranteed forty five hundred
yard quarterback. Last year, thirty six to the TV's only
nine interceptions led the league a completion percentage at sixty
nine percent.

Speaker 4 (38:13):
He was almost like sixty nine point eight points.

Speaker 6 (38:15):
He was almost a seventy percent completion percentage QUARTERBAP conversation
for MVP of the entire league. For a lot of.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
The season, for a lot of the seasons.

Speaker 6 (38:26):
So but back to what's happening with Jamar Mayo c this.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
Hold on, let's look, let's wait for that for just

how are you.

Speaker 9 (39:33):
Hello, gentlemen? Good to hear you know. NFL exhibition games today.
Most teams will play tomorrow, but this Sunday night on
Fox TV New Orleans at San Francisco. The two teams
did not hold a joint practice this week because the
forty nine ers were low on players. San Francisco going
to be hosting that one this weekend. Saints running back
Alvin Kamara is still out with back tightness. New Orleans

(39:56):
wide receiver Rashid Shaheed mispracticed with a foot injury. A reminder,
NFL clubs have to reduce their rosters to fifty three
players by August twenty seventh, after the three preseason games,
and then the waiver claims by the next day. Raiders
wide receiver DeVante Adams did not practice today. And he
would prefer to not play in the preseason. The Broncos

(40:17):
will start rookie quarterback Bo Knicks this Sunday against the Packers.
Those two teams held a joint practice today. The Bengals
gave kicker Evan McPherson a three year extension. It reportedly
includes ten million dollars in new money next year. Cincinnati
quarterback Joe Burrow won't play tomorrow, but he says he's
ready for Week one next month after last year's risk injury.
Week one, by the way, all orange uniforms for Cincinnati.

(40:39):
The Vikings signed quarterback Matt Carral and plays first round
QB JJ McCarthy on injured reserves, so he is officially
out for the year after this week's knee surgery. In
the WNBA, rookie Caitlin Clark with twenty nine points ten
assists in Indiana's win over Phoenix ninety eight to eighty nine.
Hideki Matsuyama has tied for the lead at the PGA's
playoffs in Memphisdy Scheffler is two shots back. The tour

(41:02):
championship is at the end of this month in Atlanta.
US women's soccer is back to number one in the
new FIFA World rankings. England is number two, Spain down
to number three. France after the Olympics fell to number ten.
The US women are off until some exhibitions in late
October to Major League Baseball. Coming into tonight, the Yankees
and Orioles were tied for first in the Al East.

(41:24):
The Yankees won three to nothing at Detroit. Garrett Cole
got the win Aaron Judge at his forty fourth home run.
The lead for Boston at Baltimore is twelve to ten
over the Orioles. In the top of the ninth, the
Dodgers are trying to hold on to a seven to
six lead at Saint Louis. Bottom of the eighth. Dodger
bullpen is out there, so this game is not over people.

(41:45):
Dodger pitcher Tyler Glasnew was placed on the injured list
tonight elbow ten tonightis. The Dodgers started this evening with
a two game lead in the NL West over Arizona
and San Diego, who had each won nine of ten.
The Padres tonight are still lose at Colorado seven to
three and the seventh for the Rockies, and Arizona loss
six game winning streak ended for the Diamondbacks. They gave

(42:07):
up a run bottom of the ninth at Tampa Bay
five to four. Rays, Mets won Kansas City and the
Cubs with wins, Philadelphia with a run bottom of the
ninth at Washington three to two, and Pittsburgh's ten game
winning a ten game losing streak is over because of
a win tonight five to three over Seattle, and the
winning pitcher was Paul Skins. The rookie is seven and two.
Milwaukee's ahead against Cleveland five to three in the bottom

(42:30):
of the eighth, and guys, the White Sox are still
winning at Houston four to three top of the eighth. Now,
I know, Alex Bragman, Houston's third basement is out at
least this weekend with a swollen elbow. But the Chicago
White Sox have a record of twenty nine and ninety three.
They're in the lead in the eighth at Houston.

Speaker 6 (42:47):
Stay that against the twenty nine and ninety three this season,
my god, could hit one hundred losses by the end
of the month before we ever get to September.

Speaker 9 (42:57):
That's how bad the White Sox season has been. And
we do that in honor of course of White Sox
fan Michael Harmon, who is not here the same thing
back to you.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Good for him and Jorge. Is he a White Sox fan?
I didn't know he's. Harmon's a White Sox fan, like
his team is missing. Mike Harmon been here all wee
ladies and gentlemen. I do know. I think you can
say this.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
Mike Harmon does what is it? Probably triple times better
the work on the radio that the White Sox do
on the baseball field, Yes, man, Because I mean if
Mike Harmon did radio as bad as the White Sox played,
he was doing it in like Spanish or something like that.
I don't know something that like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (43:42):
I got nothing. I don't get I don't get it.
What do you mean?

Speaker 5 (43:46):
It's one hundred games they're gonna lose?

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Like one hundred?

Speaker 9 (43:50):
How bad the Tigers were a few years ago.

Speaker 4 (43:54):
Last year? But the days days were this bad? Where
was going to top that?

Speaker 6 (43:59):
They were pretty they were pretty damn madinety something losses
by August was today the fourteen sixteenth.

Speaker 3 (44:05):
I just want to know that's crazy, and I feel
anybody can chime in here.

Speaker 9 (44:09):
He's lost one twelve last year.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
This is this my top that.

Speaker 5 (44:12):
Oh they're topping that. We're at ninety three right now?

Speaker 4 (44:14):
Yeah, oh, childs play Steve.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
What do you think you could do and fail at
over one hundred times and still have the confidence that
you could go out and do it successfully?

Speaker 5 (44:28):
I'm not allowed to say that on RADIYO.

Speaker 4 (44:31):
Do you know what I mean? I know it for
a while. That's like, are we ever going to win again?
I looked it up.

Speaker 9 (44:37):
Those Tigers is about twenty years ago. It was one
hundred and nineteen losses. Jason Smith Mets the Expansion Mets
of nineteen sixty two lost one twenty. That's the worst
major league season.

Speaker 4 (44:49):
One twenty is the worst.

Speaker 9 (44:50):
Yeah, it was forty and one twenty.

Speaker 5 (44:52):
Do you think they get there? Oh?

Speaker 4 (44:53):
Do they do?

Speaker 5 (44:54):
They even have time?

Speaker 8 (44:55):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (44:55):
Yeah they do. One twenty is kind of twenty seven losses.

Speaker 9 (44:59):
Now, if they win tonight, they only need ten more
wins to get to forty, so they tie the Expansion Mets.
That can be done.

Speaker 6 (45:06):
So all right, it should still be done. What do
you think, mark over under over under what they get
to the one twenty?

Speaker 2 (45:13):
No?

Speaker 4 (45:13):
I don't think they get the ones. Okay that I.

Speaker 6 (45:16):
Mean, now I kind of want to see it because
this would they would happen.

Speaker 4 (45:20):
I kind of want to see it now.

Speaker 3 (45:21):
They've had multiple losing streaks of over seventeen games right
this season.

Speaker 4 (45:26):
Why I believe.

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Because one was nineteen and then the other one was
the one that ended up setting the record.

Speaker 4 (45:33):
I believe they had over you know, multiple.

Speaker 3 (45:36):
Of over seventeen games in a row, and you play
baseball games every damn day, how.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Do you even kill it?

Speaker 6 (45:42):
And I think I asked you this like maybe a
month ago, but honest as a pro, how do you
get up?

Speaker 4 (45:48):
And is it the money? Yeah?

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Okay, I was asking, man, because I mean sometimes even
the money got to make you be like, you know,
what does hamstring hur?

Speaker 9 (45:57):
And some people it's like the Mets. Nobody thinks about
the Mets this year. That's a huge payroll.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Yeah, yeah, true, true?

Speaker 4 (46:03):
How did you get up the money?

Speaker 3 (46:04):
The same reason the guy the bricklayer outside the gets
up and goes to work even though his job sucks to.

Speaker 6 (46:10):
I was about to say, but he doesn't have a
record though it doesn't like the world.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
The world doesn't get to open up the interview, Oh
for your last seventeen bricks.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
Yeah, nah, but a bricklayer can't mess up seventeen straight
bricks or messes up.

Speaker 4 (46:24):
The whole foundation and building that you're doing.

Speaker 9 (46:26):
We've all seen NBA games. There are plenty of bricklayers
making it.

Speaker 6 (46:31):
What my pistols, what my beloved pistons. Was it twenty
seven twenty eight last year in a row losses?

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Think you overshot it? I think it was twenty three? Okay,
I thought it either way. I was about to say
that's yeah it was. That was in a quarter of
the season.

Speaker 5 (46:44):
That it made me feel better.

Speaker 9 (46:44):
Mark, Now this say is twenty eight.

Speaker 4 (46:46):
I don't remember. Wow, that's what I thought.

Speaker 6 (46:48):
I thought it was twenty eight twenty and I know
it was. Yeah, it was almost thirty losses in a row.
We sat here and watched the game that they broke.
Remember we watched the game. It was going on out
here in the studio when they broke it, and you
know so and I cheered, and that's when I made
my bet of the twelve, the twelve wins with you
over run, I said.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
We'll get over DJ on this the grand proculation.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
I think that this NBA team is gonna have more
than twelve wins, but they just lost twenty in the row.

Speaker 9 (47:13):
And at that point he probably didn't say that about
the Sixers a decade ago around they were rebuilding.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
So but man, the specifics of that game against Toronto
at the end of winning, it's hilarious because it's also.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
The same day.

Speaker 3 (47:26):
It was either the same day or the day after
they made the trade trading RJ. Barrett and Emanuel quickly
to the Raptors and giving up og Anobi, right, and.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
So they only had those guys.

Speaker 3 (47:40):
The guys they had gotten back from the Knicks hadn't
whatever clear whatever they needed to clear physicals.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
I don't know whatever. We get across to Canada game.

Speaker 3 (47:51):
So you had like Grady Dick playing like thirty seven
and a half minutes because they had nobody coming off
the bench.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
And guess what, I have no idea who that is?

Speaker 4 (47:58):
Oh well, greaty Diick from Kansas.

Speaker 9 (48:02):
Hey, update, White Sox have scored again. People, Uh oh
five to three at Houston, going to the bottom of
the eighth.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
Hey, the spirit of Harmon is strong.

Speaker 6 (48:10):
Hey, can you guys tell it's Friday and there's no
preseason football on.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
The spirit of Harmon is strong.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
Oh Man, okay Man Mayo and the quarterback with the Patriots.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
If you may, Yeah, it sounds like a who done
it is in the bathroom with the candlestick. Martin's gonna
hate what I'm about to say.

Speaker 5 (48:31):
Oh God, he is. You're gonna hate what I'm about this.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
He's about to convict you for that one, Martin. This
is what.

Speaker 6 (48:35):
Happens when you hire a defensive minded head coach and
you do not have a quarterback in place, Because, like
you said, he comes out and says, when he's ready,
he'll start. Martin's rebuttal is, then why would you take
him a third?

Speaker 4 (48:53):
Third overall? Right?

Speaker 6 (48:54):
Why would you take him third overall? My rebuttal back
is because we have been kind of rain Washington too.
If you don't have a quarterback and you're in the
top ten or top five, or top six or seven.
Atlanta paid a guy one hundred million dollars guaranteed in
the offseason by the name of one Kirk Cousins and

(49:15):
then gave us the first WTF moment of the draft.
With the number eight overall pick in the twenty twenty
four NFL Draft, the Atlanta Falcons take Michael Pennix quarterback
Washington and everybody went. But even they have a quarterback
that's old. They're coming off the Achilles. But we have

(49:37):
been told that you gotta take these young guys.

Speaker 4 (49:40):
You can't go. You can't. It's better to miss than
to not take one, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (49:46):
It's almost like the gun rule, right, You much rather
have it and not need it than need it and
not have it.

Speaker 4 (49:53):
I normally use that line of thinking with insurance, but.

Speaker 5 (49:56):
I hate insurance. That's such a scam.

Speaker 6 (49:58):
But anyway, we'll talk about Alex will agree with me
on that.

Speaker 4 (50:02):
We could talk about that scam. But you'd rather pay
your deductible do absolutely, absolutely.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
But like Chris Rock said, if I don't get to
an accident for like fifteen years, should not get some
of my money back because I've been paying for it.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
What have I've been paying for I've just been I've
just been paying it.

Speaker 6 (50:15):
But this is this is why this is happening with
the Patriots. How about four and thirteen loading just go
ahead and go ahead and pin them in for I
would say three and fourteen or four and thirteen.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
They don't even know where their quarterback is.

Speaker 6 (50:28):
We're in the second week of preseason their quarterbacks to
Drake May, Bailey Zeppa at, Joe Milton third, and Jacoby Brissett.
I personally will start Drake May because you took him
number three overall, So I'm with you there, Sorry, Jacoby Present.
I much rather have the veteran ready to go in
if I need you then have to go to the
rookie because the veterans stunk. I much rather have to

(50:51):
go to the backup veteran that's been on thirty seven
teams and it's been in the league for fourteen years. Okay,
then to heat crap, and then you gotta go to
the rookie. Obviously you didn't trust the rookie. If you
didn't start him, you draft that high mark.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
You know my rule.

Speaker 6 (51:06):
If I take a quarterback in the first round, Martin,
he starts. If I take a quarterback in the first
round as an NFL.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
GM, you'd be playing.

Speaker 6 (51:13):
He is going to I don't care if it's twenty seven,
twenty eight, one, two or three, he is going to start.
You do not draft first round quarterbacks and put him
on a bitch unless you're the Atlanta Falcons.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
Right. It was a ridiculous movie.

Speaker 3 (51:26):
A Green Bay Packers that the Atlanta Falcons made in
about two hours, but coming up next. Sometimes the games
of sports in the Games of Hollywood combine.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
Into that coming up in just a moment. Martin Wise VJ.
