Speaker 1 (00:31):
Fox Sports Radio. Greetings, Happy Wednesday, Welcome inside the Jason

a couple of days sick, spending time with his baseball
card collection, It's Mike Harmon in the saddle. Mike, how
you feeling?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
But lots of sleep? You know.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
As the music started to play, I'm like, is he
really gonna wait until his Knicks games goes finals? Before
he opens his mouth like there's a time out, the
clock stops like all right, should I just start talking,
like what do we want to do here?
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nick?
Speaker 3 (01:17):
No, tell you why? Man?
Speaker 4 (01:18):
It's uh really really odd A couple of days of
doing nothing but sleeping and staring at the wall when
you're not sleeping. It's very very odd existence.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
So you you're like volation bad what do they call it?
Like like when people, uh you raw dog in it? Right,
Like it's when you are when you just stay for that.
But that's the whole thing. People do that like on
long trips, like they go on on buses and trains
and planes and stuff when they there's no sensory stuff
to watch.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, nobody's doing that on public transportation.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But no.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But it's it's it's not what you think. It's it's
a different thing. It's a it's a different thing. That's
what they call it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
What does Urban Dictionary say?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I was I was no, no, no, no, no, it's
it's a different things. It's a new trend that, according
to here on Google, that's blowing up on the social
media platform, particularly among males, requiring people to sit through
long haul distances with zero distractions or forms of entertainment.
This means no phones, movies, books, or any sleep, even
food or water. So she's got to sit and stare ahead,
(02:21):
or kind of what I do after every Jets game.
I just sit and stare ahead and go there's nothing
I can What am I doing? What am I doing?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Well? The sounds of silence immediately just starts playing in
your head.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, but you brought up the Knicks. Nixt Yo, go
New York, Go New York's, Mike, go New York, Go
New York.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Co.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
The Knicks in the Marquee Game of the Night beat
the Nuggets one twenty two to one twelve. Now I
don't have it right in front of me, but this
has to be Nikola Jokic's worst game of the year.
Seventeen six and six on six of fifteen shooting, and
Jalen Brunson goes nuts in the second half. He finishes
with thirteen and fifteen assists.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So all the.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Knicks probably digga, no, no, no. The Knicks are going
along pretty well right now, and you know, then there's
a big game tonight and suddenly, okay, maybe now everybody
is kind of coming around to the fact that the
starters can play forty eight minutes a night and it's
all good, and they can make it all the way
through the NBA Finals playing five guys basically because that's
the nixt two.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, I think you've got the Tom Thibodeau experiment of
can I get this to the All Star Break? And
then I've got a week to really plan out very
carefully how we have.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
To operate from there.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Meanwhile, begging maybe someone shows up via trade and we
get into all those chatter spots about the different aprons
and moneys being exchanged.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You did get twenty six minutes from precious, So I
mean you got to a sixth man and McBride had
twenty two minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, so a seven man rotation.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But yeah, is that sustainable once we actually get to,
you know, to the season that matters the second season,
because all of this is preliminary, right, This is great.
It's an eighty two game preamble to what really matters
and whether these guys will still be able to not
trip over their tongues at that point. But it was
a nice et fort tonight. Look, look, I really like
(04:11):
the closing shot though, Jason, just real quick as they
do the A We're gonna go now to Golden State
in Oklahoma City here's the final shots, and it was
every shot that Nikola Jokic made.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's like, where's the nine missus?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, we want to show a superstar doing good things.
We don't want to show him missing because you know
the guy is you know, three time MVP. We only
want to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Wow, he is kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But ask me why I don't care about the next
start is playing all these minutes because the.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Show is tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, no, no, I don't care because Adam Silver is coming
to the rescue of everybody in the NBA. Uh, this
is a great look. You want to hear what desperation
sounds like? Like, boy, wait, what does desperation sound like? It's
going to be this big headline that's really blown up
in the last couple of hours coming from NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver, who's on the Dan Patrick Show earlier today
(05:01):
and talked about the future because you know, here we are,
NBA is suffering with lower ratings, and you can't continue
to suffer through lower ratings. You got to find a
way to make that reverse. And he floated out this
idea to potentially help games, help them be broadcasted a
little bit better. Help a smaller window, help the players
(05:21):
be able to play more minutes. He's got an idea
that's really made to help the Knicks. I mean, it's
really made to but it will help everybody else too,
because Adam Silver wants the games shorter.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Something else that I'm a fan of, and I'm probably
in a minority as we get more involved in global basketball.
The NBA is the only league that plays forty eight minutes,
and I am a fan of four ten minute quarters.
I'm not sure that many others are. I mean, putting
inside what it means for records and things like that,
(05:56):
I think that a two hour format for a game
is more consistent sort of modern television habits. I don't
think people in arenas aren't asking us to shorten the game,
but I think as a television program being two hours,
it's Olympic basketball, it's being is two hours, but it's
such a dramatic change to the game. I mean, I
think something like that would have to be talked more
about over time.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Could you just hear the desperation out of Adam Silver's voice?
Could you you know what I like is shorter games.
I like ten minute quarters instead of twelve minute quarters
and we play forty minutes tonight. You know this again
from the Dan Patrick Show earlier today, Like, I know
the NBA needs to make change and actually talk to
Michael Malone and Tom Thibodau about this before the game tonight,
(06:38):
and Tim said, yeah, I don't know that I want
to do that. I don't think that's a great idea.
I don't want all the big records to not be
able to be chased across the NBA. And Malone said, hey, look,
I hope we don't become Barnum and Bailey or do
whatever we have to do to keep viewership.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
There you go, this is the Great Shows Boom, It's
everything you ever want.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You just picture him like dressed like Hugh Jackman from
the beginning of Greatest Showman. Adam Silvery is like nine
feet tall with the big top hats. Boom boom boom, boom,
boom boom. This is Look. I'm all for for changes, right,
and I've talked about having big change and having it
having it effect. What really the big problem is, and
(07:24):
this is players not being able to play as many games.
They're sitting out back to backs less games is really gutsy,
but now you have teams that have to say we're
okay with less revenue. And here's Adam Silver saying, hey,
how about ten minute quarters? Would that? Would that allow
you guys to play more, play more minutes with the stars,
play more if they're only forty minute games at are
forty eight minutes? That way, instead of having to play
(07:46):
thirty eight minutes a game, you could play like thirty
three minutes a game. Would that get you going? Like
the NBA has gotten to the point where hey, let's
just throw stuff up against the wall and see what sticks.
I get it when it's the All Star Game, because
you have to. That's what I have to do. Every
every league does the same thing every also game. I'm exhausted.
What do we do next year? Give me five minutes
to rest, all right, then we'll figure out next year.
(08:06):
But like the NBA is at that point where it's, well,
we gotta throw things up and see what sticks. Because
all of the big things that would help with this
are all two big ideas that that are not gonna
be able to be gone through, be able to put through, Like, yeah,
you are the owners gonna agree to ten less games
a year, So there's no back to backs. No, forget it,
not gonna happen, right, Not not gonna go that way.
Our players going to agree to play all the time,
(08:28):
and teams are gonna hold them responsible to play. Hey,
you're healthy, you can play it. Or are they gonna
say you're dinged up or holding you out? We got
three games and four nights, or three games and five nights,
we're gonna hold you out tonight. This is not gonna happen, right.
I mean, the NBA already is a pretty good television product.
I always said college basketball was the best models it
was just a little bit over two hours. Even if
(08:48):
you had a knock down, drag out, two overtime game,
college basketball still get you in and out in two
and a half hours. The average NBA game is two
hours and fifteen minutes. It's pretty good length. It's not
like doesn't need to be cut for any reason. There's
there's not people who are saying, oh, I'd love to
watch that Nick's Nuggets game tonight, but it's just it's
just way too long. It's it's just it's just way
way too long. I mean it's two hours and fifteen minutes. Now,
(09:10):
people watch a movie that's two hours and fifteen minutes.
People watch two hours of fifteen minutes of television to night, Like,
it's not that these games are creeping up towards three
hours and all right, people are tuning in. It's seven
o'clock and they're going to bed because it's ten or
ten thirty. Like if you want to start the games
earlier and say, hey, we're gonna start you know, six
fifty or six forty five, Okay, that I could be
down with, all right, you want to start the games earlier.
But when I hear Adam Silver say like, hey how
(09:32):
about let's dipe the quarters, I'm just saying, what are
we doing? Like what? What?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
How?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How desperate is the NBA and we're we we don't
really know what's gonna work. We know that we've kind
of maxed out with all of our with all of
our product here in the United States. So we're just
gonna find a way to make it better. We're gonna
find a way. It's gonna It's like if this idea
doesn't work at happy hour with free drinks or half
price off these drinks, next week will be half price
off these other drinks, and it will be you know,
women drink free from five to six, then men drink
(09:58):
free from six to seven. Like it's always gonna be something.
And that's where the NBA is at right now. I
can feel the desperation my carment. I can feel it
coming off of Adam silver.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well, the idea that you want to Hey, you know what,
the rest of the world does it this way, It's
like a minute's right for America. Dammit, you're the NBA.
You're the leaders in this space. Everybody's envious of what
you are. It's not Hey, you went to the US
to play in the NBA as a last resort. You're
the league of record of the legends, and what are
(10:30):
you doing. You're saying, we're gonna cut sixteen percent of
your playing time. So now the average star is gonna
play what twenty eight minutes a game.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That'll be good for the fans showing up in the arenas.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And if a game goes to two hours fifteen minutes,
guess what, Jason, it means.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's competitive.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I will tell you this, there are changes that need
to be You need to move on with time, right,
you need.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
To move on.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And really one of the worst things you can always
say is that, Well, they've always done it this way. Right,
That's always the one thing in any kind of business
where hey, we could really streamline things and make things better.
Why do we do it this way? Oh, We've always
done it that way. Yeah, just because the rest of
the world plays this way. Like I feel like the
NBA is saying, Hey, at some point we have to
just say we have to cater to the to the
(11:17):
overseas and outside of the United States because we don't
have any more room for growth. Right. We had a
great amount of growth over the course of the past
twenty five thirty years. We went from the from the
Magic and Larry era, which brought the NBA into into
the modern era of basketball, into Jordan, into Lebron and Kobe,
and now we're into the sort of Yannice Wemby era
(11:39):
where the guys are much more global and they're from
other countries. So maybe this is the way. Like I
almost I almost want to want to say that Adam
silver is just is doing this and putting stuff out
there because maybe somebody is gonna say I like it.
But maybe it's gonna be something that hey, international markets
gonna say, well we like this. Now, maybe now we'd
(12:01):
like to buy into the NBA. Maybe our team would
like to buy its way in to the NBA and
for for fifteen billion dollars. We want to buy a
team that comes in as a quote expansion team. But
we've been playing in Greece or we've been playing here
and we want we want to buy it and do
this Like That's why I feel like that's where the
NBA has to head. And ideas like this for Adam
(12:24):
Silver just hastening that.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, I mean, whenever you look at the the inroads,
and certainly the NBA has been very at the forefront
of the internationalization. Go back to when Jerry Krause was
getting ridiculed for spending as all his time overseas right
when he was with the Bulls and he found Tony
Kokoach and you know, look at what this guy's record is,
(12:46):
like a it doesn't matter, and then he comes to
the NBA and why I'll never get the you know,
the love that maybe he should have instrumental part of
what the Bulls were during his tenure there, all of
fame or all of those things. And then we get
into international scouting that grew out of that with the
Spurs had always done, certainly not to dismiss it to
your idea of, hey, we look at expansion in a
(13:12):
global standpoint. You know, we've always focused I think more
on the NFL on what would happen, you know with
Douval and Jacksonville maybe go into the UK that maybe
there is this in roads and it would be just
that huge influx.

(13:49):
of let's just throw it at the wall and see
what sticks, because you never never know.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I don't know why you and Mike are so mad
about it. What this is the only way the Nix
and Bulls get in the playoffs, Matt.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This helps then, Daria the Knicks. You don't only have
to play their five guys. Doesn't matter. I mean, hey,
they're averaging. All starters are averaging, you know, forty seven
and a half minutes a night. Now they play thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
That's it, right, This is like rigging things for the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
So we need to investigate Park Avenue and what Adam
Silver's up to here, and we all.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Know it's clearly up to Lebron.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Sure, sure, yeah, well let's lake let the Lakers get
a center first, and then we can and then Lebron
can worry about this and let him worry about what
what's when Browny is actually going to play next, then
we can worry about other stuff. So we got more
NBA on the way. But you want a great, big
NFL hot take coming up next? Boy, who's performing well

You'll find today's show and a best of version posted
right after we get off the air. Well, we have
a Super Bowl dilemma coming your way in a couple
of minutes. But if you were paying attention earlier today,
now as we get ready for the postseason for a
college well, yes, they're still playing college football games, right,
(16:46):
We're gonna play all the way until the draft.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The Senior Bowl is getting set and everybody's getting their
first looks at the quarterbacks now. Shadura Sanders, very highly publicized,
said earlier this week, I'm not gonna play. You know,
he'll meet talk with people he already had an interview
with the Giants. I believe had a what's called a
soft interview with the Giants who have one of the
top picks in the draft. But today was more for
(17:08):
let's see who's standing out. And when I woke up
today and I saw Jalen Road trending, I said, Okay,
this is either he looks incredibly good or wow, he
looks awful. And it turned out to be the latter.
At one point, he missed like eight passes in a row.
There was a lot of video of him missing receivers
who are open, the ball just not getting delivered.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now, he had some highlights as well, but you know,
when you're throwing against one on one and you know,
or in you know, five on five or seven on
seven situations, you gotta be a little accurate here. This
is kind of just like, hey, we want to show
you I'm showing off my arm skills a little bit.
And he really really struggled. And I'll tell you what,
And I said this a couple of weeks ago, and
(17:51):
I'll continue to go with it now, not just because
he had a big day today and now everybody's kind
of jumping on board with it. But I told you
a few weeks ago, the third quarterback off the board
is gonna be Kyle McCord. It's still gonna go Shador, Sanders,
and cam Ward in some order near the top of
the draft. Maybe not one two anymore, but they're gonna
go at the top of the draft. Kyle McCord is
(18:11):
going to be the next guy. He wouldn't have stopped
his lawsuit to come back to Syracuse for one more
year if he didn't know, Hey, I can jump in
here and I can get taken pretty high. And now
if I came back and I could maybe improve my
draft stock a little bit. But right now, this is
not a very impressive group of quarterbacks. And you're looking
to get to the front of that group that teams
are gonna take in the second round, right you want
(18:33):
to be to the front. And this group right now
includes McCord and Quinn Ewers and Jaln Milroe and Jackson
Dart and you want to get there and be one
of those guys. And so far, McCord's the guy that's
standing out. Yes, he had a big day, but I
knew he'd have a big day because he does all
the fundamental things, really, really well, he anticipates, he knows
how to deliver the ball. He's got a strong enough arm.
This is one of those quarterbacks you make in the
(18:54):
lab that checks all the boxes. Now, does he have
the physical gifts of other quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Does he have the absolute canon of and arm like
other quarterbacks have, No, which I get. These are things
that really wow scouts. But when you're looking at, hey,
who can be that quarterback we take in the second
round to third round that maybe turns into our Russell Wilson,
McCord's at the top of that list. I'm telling you
he's going to be the third quarterback that comes off
the board, after cam Ward, after Shador Sanders, probably somewhere
(19:21):
in the second round. Because while we're not gonna see
the quarterbacks in the first round, there will be a
push after Day one to say, Okay, these quarterbacks are here,
let's do what we can to move up. Let's make
sure we get our guy now. We don't want to
miss one of these guys that could be our version
of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You're funny.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't buy it for a second that any of
these guys that you mentioned, those three Dart mill Row
or your guy McCord, make it out of day one.
Just the way the draft works anymore, the desperation just
it wafts through the air.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I mean, we have it all on.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
To If the Jets took Kyle McCord and the fre
I'd be the happiest guy in the way. We're Kyle McCord.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But like, what are we doing now?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It's like, hey, Pittsburgh, well we could have either Russell
Wilson or Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Okay, the Raiders. Hey, are you gonna go and try
to reunite with Russell Wilson?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Like this is what the conversation we're having, which means
the young guys with a little bit of upside are
going to be there and roll up earlier than quote
expected because whenever we start having the you know, these
guys are all rising.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
That means you guys all charted it wrong or you
rope adop to everybody.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
So you'd have a great column to write once these
guys showed up on a practice field.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Well, well, the hop but the whole thing is that
you know, yes, there are there are better quarterback classes
than others. Some years they're great, some years they're not.
But teams still need quarterbacks correct, but they're gonna but
teams are gonna look at it like this. They're gonna say, oh, okay,
so here's all these guys, and when it comes down
to it, right, they'll have all their research on everybody
and they're gonna say yeah. But in the end, a
quarterback is a gut feeld because it is right. You
(20:56):
can do all the research on a quarterback you want,
but a quarterback's gotta be a gut feel Now, are
you gonna go crazy? Try to get up what we
really like? Really at offensive tackle? We love this kid
in the first round. He could be a pro bowler
for the next ten years. When there's a lot of
guys out there, there's a lot of quarterbacks and they're
all kind of the same. Now, okay, you know McCord
or darting guys, Why are we going crazy to get one?
When when the run starts, that's when we'll start that
(21:18):
that's we'll think about taking our quarterback. It's almost like
a fantasy draft where you go through the first five
rounds and suddenly somebody takes a defense and you're like, oh,
I gotta get my defense, and then like five defenses
going a row you're like, what are you doing? It's
a fifth round. Well, somebody took the defense. Why I
didn't take a defense. I had take a defense. I
had take a defense to go take a deep take
a But that's still you get that that strategy with
(21:39):
the NFL draft, Well why am I moving up for
this guy? When, eh, there there's all of the they're
kind of all the same. I could take dart Or,
I could take Yeers, I could take mill Row, I
could take McCort, I could take all these guys, and
you know they're gonna need a year to develop anyway
before they wind up getting this getting the starting job.
So that's kind of how they look at it. And
I look, when it comes down to it, the guy
(22:00):
they're gonna have rated the first guy the team's gonna say, okay,
we're making that push, which probably which I thought. I'm
pretty sure it's gonna be early in the second round,
because you don't you take a guy too late and
suddenly have maybe you know, you don't have the confidence
in him, and who knows if he even gets his
career off the ground. But you take a guy in
the second round and he's got more of a chance
to start, because it almost feels like you're investing the
first round pick. So I'll say a little bit later,
(22:21):
where maybe the beginning of the second round, when when
teams have had time, they have a night to decompress,
and you think about the guys that are out there
and how the first round goes. All right, this is
where the quarterbacks go. And I say, within the first
five or six picks of the second round, the first
quarterback will go, and we'll see three or four quarterbacks
in the second round.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Now we're yelling Bones and I'm yelling Domino.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's just that idea that you don't want to be
left at the altar, and you certainly don't want to
have happen. What has just so many teams the last
few years, perhaps not you know, this year or last,
to just go to the recency bias of guys actually
mostly staying healthy on your best teams. Right, We've had
(23:04):
an incredible run of luck with quarterback health these last
couple of years of guys making it into the playoffs
and championship rounds. But you know, let's not tempt fate,
because historic history would tell you you've seen a lot
of great teams derailed because you didn't have an adequate
backup or succession plan in place. I mean, look at
(23:24):
all those great team quarterbacks of the the two thousands
that you never had a guy behind him, you know,
Phil Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger or some of those others that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Were drafted in Eli Manning for that matter.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Now, those guys didn't lose a lot of games, but
were you necessarily prepared if they did.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
You want the years of living dangerously, especially if you're
a team that's pretty well equipped to go and win.
And that's the luxury of those teams drafting at the
back end of the first round. Maybe you got someone
that wants to come trade up. Maybe you just sit
and lie and wait. But yeah, reading the reports and
looking at the video clips that have come out, you know,
(24:08):
for Milrow, it depends on who the author is. You
want to talk about a guy where it's very clear
whether you like or don't like him, whether he slighted
you for an autograph at some point, refuse the one
on one. I don't know where I get the montage
of here's all the bad throws from today, and then
you'll have someone else going, hey, check out these two
(24:29):
deep balls that he hit. Look at the timing and
the precision here. Likewise, Jackson Dart going back to yesterday, Right,
everything going out of today's efforts. Right, we're finishing Wednesday,
Jason Jackson Dart, biggest mover, biggest advancer coming out of
these Senior Bowl practices. Yesterday I had people writing going, Wow,
(24:50):
he's showing why he should He should have just gone
back to school.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
He should have gone he should have done this.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
And with Kyle mccordy, just back to your original point
about the loss, I think he looked at where he
would have been on the docket. I mean, that's like
going to the judge that has fifty five files on
his desk you ain't getting seen.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Before before the season starts.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, and look, and I'm at the player, I'm like, wow, Okay,
So if McCord is the best quarterback at the Senior
Bowl and it's not close according to a couple of
NFL analysts, and lecquin Allen is the best running back
and now maybe he's played himself way up in the draft,
and Jackson Meeks is the best receiver, I'm like, now
I'm sad because I feel like here because we underachieved
this year. We should should have been we should have
(25:32):
won more games, should go and twe defeated. We got
the best quarterback, running back, and wide receiver at the
Senior Bowl. How the hell do we lose three?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
How the hell they all decided to play as soon
as they were done with How do we lose to Stanford?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
How do we lose the buff to College? Come on, man,
how did this happen?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
We need to get that one on one with you
and fran Brown loaded up. Now, hey, I'm not giving
another dying in this university unless.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
it is Monci milanials with everything happening in social media
and in the world of sports tonight, because she is
frantically searching Kawhi Leonard every five seconds for updates. Mansey,
what do you got for us?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
You're right, I'm making sure that he's not dead, you
know what I mean, like if you if he breathes funny,
I'm worried that it's another knee issue, Kawhi, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So you're right, Lean like a greyhound.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Now look at Lean, I know, and he looks like
a twenty one year old lebroadcast.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
His head is still the same size. He looks like
a bobblehead.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Listen, listen, all right, leave kawhi Leonard and his bobblehead.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Miss alone, Okay, talking about Jason. Okay, Hey, hey, okay,
all right, fine. I was thinking more Pez Dispenser, but
I'll take bobble let That's.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Fine, more Pez dispenser.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Put my head up and pull a nice big candy
out and need it. That'd be great.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
That would be great. Actually in a little bit creepy,
but I would be into it. The Clippers did defeat
the Spurs. One on the internet.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Tell me what you're searching, okay, Leonard, to make sure.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Twenty seven points, six rebounds, seven assists.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (27:02):
I have never seen Victor one Banyama.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Get a little chippy or a little upset, but he
did in this game.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
He and a Viza Zubots got a little a little
into it. Vita Zubats kind of shoved him on a
fast break and he falls. He got up real quick
and tried to step up to Zubats.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
So I was like, okay, Victor, I didn't know you
had that in you.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Twenty three points and twelve rebounds for Victor one Banyama
in the loss. The Mavericks edge of the Pelicans won
thirty seven to one thirty six, and Zion Williamson played,
but they lost.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
The end of with twenty nine points.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Though the seventy six ers beat the Kings one seventeen
to one oh four.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
The Knicks have won five in a row.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
They defeated the Nuggets, won seventeen to one oh four,
all starters in double digits, but Jalen Brunson thirty points
and fifteen assists. Jonovan Mitchell dropped thirty four points as
the Cavaliers outscored the Heat won twenty six to one
oh six, and the Celtics had a one twenty two
to one ten win over the Bulls.
Speaker 10 (27:54):
Two games going on.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Still in the NBA, the Suns are on top of
the Timberwolves seventy two to seven and halfway through the
third quarter.
Speaker 10 (28:02):
Kevin Durant twenty points six assists.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
Late in the first quarter, the Thunder on top of
the Warriors twenty three to fourteen. In men's college hoops,
number four Alabama beating number fourteen Mississippi State sixty three
to sixty with about twelve minutes to go in the game.
WNBA star Kaitlin Clark has declined an invitation to take
part in the NBA's special three Point Contest during All
Star weekend. She wants to make her three point shootout
(28:26):
debut this summer in Indianapolis during the WNBA All Star festivities.
In the NFL, the Jets have agreed to terms with
former Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks to be their new
defensive coordinator, with the plan for him not new head
coach Aaron Glenn to call plays. And lastly, here multiple
reports some of the ads that are going to be
airing during Super Bowl fifty nine on Fox are going
(28:47):
to cost eight million dollars eight billion.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah. Actually, I looked up like what it was when
the Super Bowl first started out, like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
What is it? When he first started it.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Was fifty dollars. Fifty dollars for fifteen seconds. Yeah, they're
not eight million, yeah, eight million.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
For probably thirty second seven seconds.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
The editing that is done by these no, no, we
got to cut that eight frames out here and yeah
eight frames earlier here.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Get another thirty seconds by doing that, yes, oh.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Yeah, but you paid eight million, and it's not like
they're giving you a production costs or the actors or
the copy or anything.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
No, No, now you got you're.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Added costs on top of it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I just I just hope that they they the commercials
are enough where they don't have to cut so much
out that I don't know what the commercial is for.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
I love that because, like I.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Watched this McConaughey commercial where he's doing Ditka. Yeah, I
don't know what it's for.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I mean the Bear Bears. I don't know what it's
for about bears, and it's.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
Not about the Bears.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
No, I'm laughing the whole time, like it's not Halloween.
He's dressed up as Ditka and then there's a like
an uber Eats thing. I'm like, what is he? What
is this commercial?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, he's doing all the uber eat sad, so it
wasn't clear.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I'm with you, yeah, but always doing you standing for
the mirror going the Bears Bears Bears, No, the Bears, No, No,
not Bears. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Bears, Bears,
Bears Bears commercial for I don't know.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I don't even know I had to answer your question.
It's thirty second commercial for eight million.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
No, right, I'm saying that they're probably it's gonna be
like twenty seven so they can make more time for
more commercials.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
That's not gonna get their money back.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Yeah they're not. Yeah, you're not. You're seeing the point
I'm trying.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
To say, trying to squeeze as much as they can
out of the lemon.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Here, justin just go every time, just.
Speaker 5 (30:35):

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Alright?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 10 (30:51):
Mind?
Speaker 1 (30:52):
You know, maybe Steve Cohen for eight million, could just
pay for eight million. Here's thirty seconds of METS highlights,
you know, and then and then you end with a
big buy by Wan Sodo. Hey, we're ready for next year.
What's the purp? Now, we're just gonna show metsighlines. We
want to show Alonzo's home run, so you know we're
gonna show Lindor's big home run. We're gonna show we
got sodo. Yeah, eight million, that's cool. I can do that.

eight eight million dollars.

Pitch to Pete as Hey, Pete, we love you. I mean,

(33:18):
big curveball thrown our way today courtesy of Bill Belichick,
who appeared on the The Let's Go podcast that Jim
Gray and Tom Brady have made famous over the last
few years, and when the conversation turned to winning and
winning Super Bowls of what it takes to win, Belichick
guena went on this whole rant and diet tribe that, Hey,
(33:40):
I don't win games. The players win games. He mentioned
a bunch of Hall of Famers and guys that played
on the pages. These guys all played, you know, guys
like Ty Law and Teddy Bruski, and you know that they,
you know, Vince will Fork. These guys win games. I
didn't win any. And then he kind of offered that
maybe the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Players win games. You can't win games without good players.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I don't care who the coach is, It's impossible you
can't win without good players.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
They don't name it the Star Trophy, It's named Little
Bardi Trophy.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It's a name it the Brady Trophy.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
He wants seven of them.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Okay, I first of all, I think this has to
be ai Bill Belichick. There's no way he goes on
this podcast and starts talking and crediting the players with
how great they are and not his coaching. Right, the
players are so great? And Tom Brady, who if he's
so great, why did you Nicol and Diamond to push
him out? We don't want to pay him anymore. I
don't want to pay him anymore. I want to start
(34:35):
over with Mac Jones. I wanted Jimmy Garoppolo three years
before we kick Brady out. Oh yeah, Now suddenly I'm
all pro Brady, and I'm saying, oh, it should rename
it to the Brady Trophy because he certainly won enough
of it. Like this has to be ai Bill Belichick,
because there's no way this is him actually saying this
when for twenty some odd years he has been the opposite.
(34:56):
Where he decided I want to tear this Patriots team
down because I'm sick of Brady getting all the credit
and I want to remake it with a bunch of
no names, and I want to win with absolutely zero
talent on this team, Like I want to win and
have people just go. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach
that sports have ever seen. And John Wooden isn't even
(35:17):
deserving to be in the same area code as Bill
Belichick because look at all this lack of talent. Look
at all these these safeties that he's taking from Division
two schools in the first round. Look at this horrible
roster he is putting together because he wants no stars
to prove that he knows more about football than anybody.
This is a guy suddenly who now is saying, hey, yeah,
oh you don't win without great players. This is like
(35:39):
a load of crap from Bill Belichick. Did he was
a bet and say, all right, if I lose, I'll
go on a podcast and I'll credit players. Oh wow, Okay,
Like I guess, I guess I gotta go on thisspite
that the Lions lost to the Commanders, I'll go on
the podcast and I'll start crediting the players. Like really,
I think it's Ai Belichick. It has to be.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I do like that you went and you grabbed John
Wooden in this same, you know, same sentence, and in
that analogy, folks go looking up, go look at the history,
and John Wooden, think about what people say about Belichick,
and let's go have some fun, shall we. All right,
So moving on from there, Belichick, this is the first
time he's talked about players and how they win and
(36:15):
coaches lose. Game like there has been a consistent theme
of his for years now. At the end, wasn't contentious
and miserable? I always wondered how much of that was
a bit overblown because you had someone who felt a
bit burned, and that's where you get the Wickersham and
all of those reporting. The Wickersham reports sounds like one
of those specials you'd watch on A and Eckersham reporters,
(36:39):
but all of those things, right, So someone feels spurned,
So all of a sudden we start hearing all the
dirty laundry being aired when they I always thought with
Brady it was the I've always made my living, And
this is Belichick going, you know what, We've always gotten
out of guys a year or two too early rather
than that year disastrous year too late. So let's do
(37:00):
it here. Especially when you had Jimmy uh and waiting
in the wings that it did work, and then he
made one. Uh. He's kept pulling out the strings and
you know, before it was all it all came asunder.
But looking at it now, I mean, look, he and
Jim Gray obviously have it a good laugh, right, and
Gray mentions it's not the bart Star Award and bart
(37:22):
Start didn't win a bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Man, yeah he won. Well, he won the first two,
so I mean were they were, that was it? But
they called. But like, I don't get this sudden change
unless Belichick really is saying, hey, I really want back
in the NFL. Dude, it's not happening anymore. Everybody hired
everybody else. Unless you want to go coach the Saints,
you it's just stick with North Carolina. Worry about beating
(37:43):
Syracuse on Friday night this fall. Oh my god, that's
schedule for Syracuse is impossibly difficult. But like, I don't
understand what he's trying to do all of a sudden. Well,
but I got his history from Belichick.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Well, but let me let me try to encapsulate it.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
When you're in it, right, you have one way that
is always worked about motivating guys, right, which is all
the tales of yes, everybody got called out in film review,
but who wore it worst, Brady Gronkowski, the guys that
were the biggest stars. Right, So when it comes time
to in the aftermath, when you don't have to do
(38:16):
that in the locker room, you don't have to be
that guy anymore. You put that persona aside. You just
get back down to brass tacks. You know, this is
what won us games. These guys were excellent in points
that they needed to be, much like we talk about
with the Patriots or like the chiefs now or some
of these other squads and all other sports of how
(38:38):
in the final minutes they don't flinch.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
But when you're in it, that's the persona that Bill
Belichick adopted, right, he's led Tasso.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Now, Frostburg, you actually have idea of what the new
trophy would look like.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Yeah, I have the design in front of the design
in front of it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Okay, what does it look like?
Speaker 5 (38:56):
And replaced the silver football with a deflated one.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Oh yeah, that would look really cool.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
You just you see like all the dents in it
and the bottom opens up where you can store your
smash cell phone. I know you're gonna say, and the
bottom opens up in video of the other team practicing.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Just slide down that drone comes out. All right, go fly,
go record that practice. Be quick, be fleets and come
back to me.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
How can I get a three D printer to make
one of these immediately? What's time to market?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Frosper?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
It would We'll be ready to roll by Sunday, it
would be, And on the bottom it would it would say,
you know the Brady Trump presented by TV twelve with
the website on the bottom and like Alex Guerrero's signature
on the back of it, is that what you would have?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
And it takes you to cheaters dot com?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, man, that would be like the wicked dolls that
took you to a website that they didn't want you to.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Suddenly, now I love Tom Brady, I love all the
players all the time. Now that I'm not getting back
at oh wait wait wait wait wait, like I really
this is I mean, this is e he talked. He
didn't treat people great when he talked about him in
the media. He didn't say any glowing things about Brady.
He never said really glowing things about anybody any of
(40:10):
his players, and you know that pissed him off. But
now suddenly now they're all great. Now hey, bygones, be bygones. Man, No, no,
now you guys are all great. Oh okay, thanks Bill.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Hey, how many people talk about.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
How their relationships with their parents changed as they get older. Man,
they were really hard on me. And then I got
a job and I became a functioning adult, and all
of a sudden we're besties, right, I mean, look the
safe thing here, and hey, the kids did good, dug
And it's.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Not and look it's not his age or anything, because
Pete Carroll got a job. He's seventy. He found a
way to get along with people more. He's seventy four
years older than Belichick and he still got a job.
Like Bill, it's done, it's over. Just stay who you are,
Stay there, curmudgeon that you were just.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Hey, what does he have to do to get run
out of a Raiders organization like he did leading USC.

Like it's when you are when you just stay for that.
But that's the whole thing. People do that like on
long trips, like they go on on buses and trains
and planes and stuff when they there's no sensory stuff
to watch.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
Well, nobody's doing that on public transportation.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But no.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
But it's it's it's not what you think. It's it's
a different thing. It's a it's a different thing. That's
what they call it.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
What does Urban Dictionary say?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
I was I was no, no, no, no, no, it's
it's a different things. It's a new trend that, according
to here on Google, that's blowing up on the social
media platform, particularly among males, requiring people to sit through
long haul distances with zero distractions or forms of entertainment.
This means no phones, movies, books, or any sleep, even
food or water. So she's got to sit and stare ahead,
(02:21):
or kind of what I do after every Jets game.
I just sit and stare ahead and go there's nothing
I can What am I doing? What am I doing?
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Well? The sounds of silence immediately just starts playing in
your head.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, but you brought up the Knicks. Nixt Yo, go
New York, Go New York's, Mike, go New York, Go
New York.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Co.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
The Knicks in the Marquee Game of the Night beat
the Nuggets one twenty two to one twelve. Now I
don't have it right in front of me, but this
has to be Nikola Jokic's worst game of the year.
Seventeen six and six on six of fifteen shooting, and
Jalen Brunson goes nuts in the second half. He finishes
with thirteen and fifteen assists.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
So all the.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Knicks probably digga, no, no, no. The Knicks are going
along pretty well right now, and you know, then there's
a big game tonight and suddenly, okay, maybe now everybody
is kind of coming around to the fact that the
starters can play forty eight minutes a night and it's
all good, and they can make it all the way
through the NBA Finals playing five guys basically because that's
the nixt two.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Well, I think you've got the Tom Thibodeau experiment of
can I get this to the All Star Break? And
then I've got a week to really plan out very
carefully how we have.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
To operate from there.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Meanwhile, begging maybe someone shows up via trade and we
get into all those chatter spots about the different aprons
and moneys being exchanged.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Whatever.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
You did get twenty six minutes from precious, So I
mean you got to a sixth man and McBride had
twenty two minutes.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Okay, so a seven man rotation.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But yeah, is that sustainable once we actually get to,
you know, to the season that matters the second season,
because all of this is preliminary, right, This is great.
It's an eighty two game preamble to what really matters
and whether these guys will still be able to not
trip over their tongues at that point. But it was
a nice et fort tonight. Look, look, I really like
(04:11):
the closing shot though, Jason, just real quick as they
do the A We're gonna go now to Golden State
in Oklahoma City here's the final shots, and it was
every shot that Nikola Jokic made.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
It's like, where's the nine missus?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Well, we want to show a superstar doing good things.
We don't want to show him missing because you know
the guy is you know, three time MVP. We only
want to do that.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Wow, he is kind of a big deal.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
But ask me why I don't care about the next
start is playing all these minutes because the.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Show is tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
No, no, no, I don't care because Adam Silver is coming
to the rescue of everybody in the NBA. Uh, this
is a great look. You want to hear what desperation
sounds like? Like, boy, wait, what does desperation sound like? It's
going to be this big headline that's really blown up
in the last couple of hours coming from NBA Commissioner
Adam Silver, who's on the Dan Patrick Show earlier today
(05:01):
and talked about the future because you know, here we are,
NBA is suffering with lower ratings, and you can't continue
to suffer through lower ratings. You got to find a
way to make that reverse. And he floated out this
idea to potentially help games, help them be broadcasted a
little bit better. Help a smaller window, help the players
(05:21):
be able to play more minutes. He's got an idea
that's really made to help the Knicks. I mean, it's
really made to but it will help everybody else too,
because Adam Silver wants the games shorter.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Something else that I'm a fan of, and I'm probably
in a minority as we get more involved in global basketball.
The NBA is the only league that plays forty eight minutes,
and I am a fan of four ten minute quarters.
I'm not sure that many others are. I mean, putting
inside what it means for records and things like that,
(05:56):
I think that a two hour format for a game
is more consistent sort of modern television habits. I don't
think people in arenas aren't asking us to shorten the game,
but I think as a television program being two hours,
it's Olympic basketball, it's being is two hours, but it's
such a dramatic change to the game. I mean, I
think something like that would have to be talked more
about over time.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Could you just hear the desperation out of Adam Silver's voice?
Could you you know what I like is shorter games.
I like ten minute quarters instead of twelve minute quarters
and we play forty minutes tonight. You know this again
from the Dan Patrick Show earlier today, Like, I know
the NBA needs to make change and actually talk to
Michael Malone and Tom Thibodau about this before the game tonight,
(06:38):
and Tim said, yeah, I don't know that I want
to do that. I don't think that's a great idea.
I don't want all the big records to not be
able to be chased across the NBA. And Malone said, hey, look,
I hope we don't become Barnum and Bailey or do
whatever we have to do to keep viewership.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
There you go, this is the Great Shows Boom, It's
everything you ever want.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You just picture him like dressed like Hugh Jackman from
the beginning of Greatest Showman. Adam Silvery is like nine
feet tall with the big top hats. Boom boom boom, boom,
boom boom. This is Look. I'm all for for changes, right,
and I've talked about having big change and having it
having it effect. What really the big problem is, and
(07:24):
this is players not being able to play as many games.
They're sitting out back to backs less games is really gutsy,
but now you have teams that have to say we're
okay with less revenue. And here's Adam Silver saying, hey,
how about ten minute quarters? Would that? Would that allow
you guys to play more, play more minutes with the stars,
play more if they're only forty minute games at are
forty eight minutes? That way, instead of having to play
(07:46):
thirty eight minutes a game, you could play like thirty
three minutes a game. Would that get you going? Like
the NBA has gotten to the point where hey, let's
just throw stuff up against the wall and see what sticks.
I get it when it's the All Star Game, because
you have to. That's what I have to do. Every
every league does the same thing every also game. I'm exhausted.
What do we do next year? Give me five minutes
to rest, all right, then we'll figure out next year.
(08:06):
But like the NBA is at that point where it's, well,
we gotta throw things up and see what sticks. Because
all of the big things that would help with this
are all two big ideas that that are not gonna
be able to be gone through, be able to put through, Like, yeah,
you are the owners gonna agree to ten less games
a year, So there's no back to backs. No, forget it,
not gonna happen, right, Not not gonna go that way.
Our players going to agree to play all the time,
(08:28):
and teams are gonna hold them responsible to play. Hey,
you're healthy, you can play it. Or are they gonna
say you're dinged up or holding you out? We got
three games and four nights, or three games and five nights,
we're gonna hold you out tonight. This is not gonna happen, right.
I mean, the NBA already is a pretty good television product.
I always said college basketball was the best models it
was just a little bit over two hours. Even if
(08:48):
you had a knock down, drag out, two overtime game,
college basketball still get you in and out in two
and a half hours. The average NBA game is two
hours and fifteen minutes. It's pretty good length. It's not
like doesn't need to be cut for any reason. There's
there's not people who are saying, oh, I'd love to
watch that Nick's Nuggets game tonight, but it's just it's
just way too long. It's it's just it's just way
way too long. I mean it's two hours and fifteen minutes. Now,
(09:10):
people watch a movie that's two hours and fifteen minutes.
People watch two hours of fifteen minutes of television to night, Like,
it's not that these games are creeping up towards three
hours and all right, people are tuning in. It's seven
o'clock and they're going to bed because it's ten or
ten thirty. Like if you want to start the games
earlier and say, hey, we're gonna start you know, six
fifty or six forty five, Okay, that I could be
down with, all right, you want to start the games earlier.
But when I hear Adam Silver say like, hey how
(09:32):
about let's dipe the quarters, I'm just saying, what are
we doing? Like what? What?
Speaker 3 (09:36):
How?
Speaker 1 (09:36):
How desperate is the NBA and we're we we don't
really know what's gonna work. We know that we've kind
of maxed out with all of our with all of
our product here in the United States. So we're just
gonna find a way to make it better. We're gonna
find a way. It's gonna It's like if this idea
doesn't work at happy hour with free drinks or half
price off these drinks, next week will be half price
off these other drinks, and it will be you know,
women drink free from five to six, then men drink
(09:58):
free from six to seven. Like it's always gonna be something.
And that's where the NBA is at right now. I
can feel the desperation my carment. I can feel it
coming off of Adam silver.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Well, the idea that you want to Hey, you know what,
the rest of the world does it this way, It's
like a minute's right for America. Dammit, you're the NBA.
You're the leaders in this space. Everybody's envious of what
you are. It's not Hey, you went to the US
to play in the NBA as a last resort. You're
the league of record of the legends, and what are
(10:30):
you doing. You're saying, we're gonna cut sixteen percent of
your playing time. So now the average star is gonna
play what twenty eight minutes a game.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That'll be good for the fans showing up in the arenas.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And if a game goes to two hours fifteen minutes,
guess what, Jason, it means.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's competitive.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
I will tell you this, there are changes that need
to be You need to move on with time, right,
you need.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
To move on.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
And really one of the worst things you can always
say is that, Well, they've always done it this way. Right,
That's always the one thing in any kind of business
where hey, we could really streamline things and make things better.
Why do we do it this way? Oh, We've always
done it that way. Yeah, just because the rest of
the world plays this way. Like I feel like the
NBA is saying, Hey, at some point we have to
just say we have to cater to the to the
(11:17):
overseas and outside of the United States because we don't
have any more room for growth. Right. We had a
great amount of growth over the course of the past
twenty five thirty years. We went from the from the
Magic and Larry era, which brought the NBA into into
the modern era of basketball, into Jordan, into Lebron and Kobe,
and now we're into the sort of Yannice Wemby era
(11:39):
where the guys are much more global and they're from
other countries. So maybe this is the way. Like I
almost I almost want to want to say that Adam
silver is just is doing this and putting stuff out
there because maybe somebody is gonna say I like it.
But maybe it's gonna be something that hey, international markets
gonna say, well we like this. Now, maybe now we'd
(12:01):
like to buy into the NBA. Maybe our team would
like to buy its way in to the NBA and
for for fifteen billion dollars. We want to buy a
team that comes in as a quote expansion team. But
we've been playing in Greece or we've been playing here
and we want we want to buy it and do
this Like That's why I feel like that's where the
NBA has to head. And ideas like this for Adam
(12:24):
Silver just hastening that.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Yeah, I mean, whenever you look at the the inroads,
and certainly the NBA has been very at the forefront
of the internationalization. Go back to when Jerry Krause was
getting ridiculed for spending as all his time overseas right
when he was with the Bulls and he found Tony
Kokoach and you know, look at what this guy's record is,
(12:46):
like a it doesn't matter, and then he comes to
the NBA and why I'll never get the you know,
the love that maybe he should have instrumental part of
what the Bulls were during his tenure there, all of
fame or all of those things. And then we get
into international scouting that grew out of that with the
Spurs had always done, certainly not to dismiss it to
your idea of, hey, we look at expansion in a
(13:12):
global standpoint. You know, we've always focused I think more
on the NFL on what would happen, you know with
Douval and Jacksonville maybe go into the UK that maybe
there is this in roads and it would be just
that huge influx.

(13:49):
of let's just throw it at the wall and see
what sticks, because you never never know.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
I don't know why you and Mike are so mad
about it. What this is the only way the Nix
and Bulls get in the playoffs, Matt.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
This helps then, Daria the Knicks. You don't only have
to play their five guys. Doesn't matter. I mean, hey,
they're averaging. All starters are averaging, you know, forty seven
and a half minutes a night. Now they play thirty.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
That's it, right, This is like rigging things for the Knicks.
Speaker 4 (14:14):
So we need to investigate Park Avenue and what Adam
Silver's up to here, and we all.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Know it's clearly up to Lebron.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Sure, sure, yeah, well let's lake let the Lakers get
a center first, and then we can and then Lebron
can worry about this and let him worry about what
what's when Browny is actually going to play next, then
we can worry about other stuff. So we got more
NBA on the way. But you want a great, big

a Super Bowl dilemma coming your way in a couple
of minutes. But if you were paying attention earlier today,
now as we get ready for the postseason for a
college well, yes, they're still playing college football games, right,
(16:46):
We're gonna play all the way until the draft.
Speaker 5 (16:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The Senior Bowl is getting set and everybody's getting their
first looks at the quarterbacks now. Shadura Sanders, very highly publicized,
said earlier this week, I'm not gonna play. You know,
he'll meet talk with people he already had an interview
with the Giants. I believe had a what's called a
soft interview with the Giants who have one of the
top picks in the draft. But today was more for
(17:08):
let's see who's standing out. And when I woke up
today and I saw Jalen Road trending, I said, Okay,
this is either he looks incredibly good or wow, he
looks awful. And it turned out to be the latter.
At one point, he missed like eight passes in a row.
There was a lot of video of him missing receivers
who are open, the ball just not getting delivered.
Speaker 5 (17:30):
Well.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Now, he had some highlights as well, but you know,
when you're throwing against one on one and you know,
or in you know, five on five or seven on
seven situations, you gotta be a little accurate here. This
is kind of just like, hey, we want to show
you I'm showing off my arm skills a little bit.
And he really really struggled. And I'll tell you what,
And I said this a couple of weeks ago, and
(17:51):
I'll continue to go with it now, not just because
he had a big day today and now everybody's kind
of jumping on board with it. But I told you
a few weeks ago, the third quarterback off the board
is gonna be Kyle McCord. It's still gonna go Shador, Sanders,
and cam Ward in some order near the top of
the draft. Maybe not one two anymore, but they're gonna
go at the top of the draft. Kyle McCord is
(18:11):
going to be the next guy. He wouldn't have stopped
his lawsuit to come back to Syracuse for one more
year if he didn't know, Hey, I can jump in
here and I can get taken pretty high. And now
if I came back and I could maybe improve my
draft stock a little bit. But right now, this is
not a very impressive group of quarterbacks. And you're looking
to get to the front of that group that teams
are gonna take in the second round, right you want
(18:33):
to be to the front. And this group right now
includes McCord and Quinn Ewers and Jaln Milroe and Jackson
Dart and you want to get there and be one
of those guys. And so far, McCord's the guy that's
standing out. Yes, he had a big day, but I
knew he'd have a big day because he does all
the fundamental things, really, really well, he anticipates, he knows
how to deliver the ball. He's got a strong enough arm.
This is one of those quarterbacks you make in the
(18:54):
lab that checks all the boxes. Now, does he have
the physical gifts of other quarterbacks.
Speaker 7 (18:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Does he have the absolute canon of and arm like
other quarterbacks have, No, which I get. These are things
that really wow scouts. But when you're looking at, hey,
who can be that quarterback we take in the second
round to third round that maybe turns into our Russell Wilson,
McCord's at the top of that list. I'm telling you
he's going to be the third quarterback that comes off
the board, after cam Ward, after Shador Sanders, probably somewhere
(19:21):
in the second round. Because while we're not gonna see
the quarterbacks in the first round, there will be a
push after Day one to say, Okay, these quarterbacks are here,
let's do what we can to move up. Let's make
sure we get our guy now. We don't want to
miss one of these guys that could be our version
of Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
You're funny.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
I don't buy it for a second that any of
these guys that you mentioned, those three Dart mill Row
or your guy McCord, make it out of day one.
Just the way the draft works anymore, the desperation just
it wafts through the air.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
I mean, we have it all on.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
To If the Jets took Kyle McCord and the fre
I'd be the happiest guy in the way. We're Kyle McCord.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
But like, what are we doing now?
Speaker 4 (20:02):
It's like, hey, Pittsburgh, well we could have either Russell
Wilson or Justin Fields.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Okay, the Raiders. Hey, are you gonna go and try
to reunite with Russell Wilson?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Like this is what the conversation we're having, which means
the young guys with a little bit of upside are
going to be there and roll up earlier than quote
expected because whenever we start having the you know, these
guys are all rising.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
That means you guys all charted it wrong or you
rope adop to everybody.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
So you'd have a great column to write once these
guys showed up on a practice field.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Well, well, the hop but the whole thing is that
you know, yes, there are there are better quarterback classes
than others. Some years they're great, some years they're not.
But teams still need quarterbacks correct, but they're gonna but
teams are gonna look at it like this. They're gonna say, oh, okay,
so here's all these guys, and when it comes down
to it, right, they'll have all their research on everybody
and they're gonna say yeah. But in the end, a
quarterback is a gut feeld because it is right. You
(20:56):
can do all the research on a quarterback you want,
but a quarterback's gotta be a gut feel Now, are
you gonna go crazy? Try to get up what we
really like? Really at offensive tackle? We love this kid
in the first round. He could be a pro bowler
for the next ten years. When there's a lot of
guys out there, there's a lot of quarterbacks and they're
all kind of the same. Now, okay, you know McCord
or darting guys, Why are we going crazy to get one?
When when the run starts, that's when we'll start that
(21:18):
that's we'll think about taking our quarterback. It's almost like
a fantasy draft where you go through the first five
rounds and suddenly somebody takes a defense and you're like, oh,
I gotta get my defense, and then like five defenses
going a row you're like, what are you doing? It's
a fifth round. Well, somebody took the defense. Why I
didn't take a defense. I had take a defense. I
had take a defense to go take a deep take
a But that's still you get that that strategy with
(21:39):
the NFL draft, Well why am I moving up for
this guy? When, eh, there there's all of the they're
kind of all the same. I could take dart Or,
I could take Yeers, I could take mill Row, I
could take McCort, I could take all these guys, and
you know they're gonna need a year to develop anyway
before they wind up getting this getting the starting job.
So that's kind of how they look at it. And
I look, when it comes down to it, the guy
(22:00):
they're gonna have rated the first guy the team's gonna say, okay,
we're making that push, which probably which I thought. I'm
pretty sure it's gonna be early in the second round,
because you don't you take a guy too late and
suddenly have maybe you know, you don't have the confidence
in him, and who knows if he even gets his
career off the ground. But you take a guy in
the second round and he's got more of a chance
to start, because it almost feels like you're investing the
first round pick. So I'll say a little bit later,
(22:21):
where maybe the beginning of the second round, when when
teams have had time, they have a night to decompress,
and you think about the guys that are out there
and how the first round goes. All right, this is
where the quarterbacks go. And I say, within the first
five or six picks of the second round, the first
quarterback will go, and we'll see three or four quarterbacks
in the second round.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Now we're yelling Bones and I'm yelling Domino.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (22:43):
It's just that idea that you don't want to be
left at the altar, and you certainly don't want to
have happen. What has just so many teams the last
few years, perhaps not you know, this year or last,
to just go to the recency bias of guys actually
mostly staying healthy on your best teams. Right, We've had
(23:04):
an incredible run of luck with quarterback health these last
couple of years of guys making it into the playoffs
and championship rounds. But you know, let's not tempt fate,
because historic history would tell you you've seen a lot
of great teams derailed because you didn't have an adequate
backup or succession plan in place. I mean, look at
(23:24):
all those great team quarterbacks of the the two thousands
that you never had a guy behind him, you know,
Phil Rivers or Ben Roethlisberger or some of those others that.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Were drafted in Eli Manning for that matter.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Now, those guys didn't lose a lot of games, but
were you necessarily prepared if they did.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
You want the years of living dangerously, especially if you're
a team that's pretty well equipped to go and win.
And that's the luxury of those teams drafting at the
back end of the first round. Maybe you got someone
that wants to come trade up. Maybe you just sit
and lie and wait. But yeah, reading the reports and
looking at the video clips that have come out, you know,
(24:08):
for Milrow, it depends on who the author is. You
want to talk about a guy where it's very clear
whether you like or don't like him, whether he slighted
you for an autograph at some point, refuse the one
on one. I don't know where I get the montage
of here's all the bad throws from today, and then
you'll have someone else going, hey, check out these two
(24:29):
deep balls that he hit. Look at the timing and
the precision here. Likewise, Jackson Dart going back to yesterday, Right,
everything going out of today's efforts. Right, we're finishing Wednesday,
Jason Jackson Dart, biggest mover, biggest advancer coming out of
these Senior Bowl practices. Yesterday I had people writing going, Wow,
(24:50):
he's showing why he should He should have just gone
back to school.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
He should have gone he should have done this.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
And with Kyle mccordy, just back to your original point
about the loss, I think he looked at where he
would have been on the docket. I mean, that's like
going to the judge that has fifty five files on
his desk you ain't getting seen.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
Before before the season starts.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Well, and look, and I'm at the player, I'm like, wow, Okay,
So if McCord is the best quarterback at the Senior
Bowl and it's not close according to a couple of
NFL analysts, and lecquin Allen is the best running back
and now maybe he's played himself way up in the draft,
and Jackson Meeks is the best receiver, I'm like, now
I'm sad because I feel like here because we underachieved
this year. We should should have been we should have
(25:32):
won more games, should go and twe defeated. We got
the best quarterback, running back, and wide receiver at the
Senior Bowl. How the hell do we lose three?
Speaker 6 (25:38):
How the hell they all decided to play as soon
as they were done with How do we lose to Stanford?
Speaker 1 (25:43):
How do we lose the buff to College? Come on, man,
how did this happen?
Speaker 4 (25:47):
We need to get that one on one with you
and fran Brown loaded up. Now, hey, I'm not giving
another dying in this university unless.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
We got more coming up in ninety seconds. But first,
it is Monci milanials with everything happening in social media
and in the world of sports tonight, because she is
frantically searching Kawhi Leonard every five seconds for updates. Mansey,
what do you got for us?
Speaker 8 (26:11):
You're right, I'm making sure that he's not dead, you
know what I mean, like if you if he breathes funny,
I'm worried that it's another knee issue, Kawhi, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 3 (26:19):
So you're right, Lean like a greyhound.
Speaker 4 (26:22):
Now look at Lean, I know, and he looks like
a twenty one year old lebroadcast.
Speaker 5 (26:28):
His head is still the same size. He looks like
a bobblehead.
Speaker 8 (26:31):
Listen, listen, all right, leave kawhi Leonard and his bobblehead.
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Miss alone, Okay, talking about Jason. Okay, Hey, hey, okay,
all right, fine. I was thinking more Pez Dispenser, but
I'll take bobble let That's.
Speaker 10 (26:42):
Fine, more Pez dispenser.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Put my head up and pull a nice big candy
out and need it. That'd be great.
Speaker 10 (26:48):
That would be great. Actually in a little bit creepy,
but I would be into it. The Clippers did defeat
the Spurs. One on the internet.
Speaker 9 (26:55):
Tell me what you're searching, okay, Leonard, to make sure.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Twenty seven points, six rebounds, seven assists.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Uh.

I have never seen Victor one Banyama.
Speaker 8 (27:05):
Get a little chippy or a little upset, but he
did in this game.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:10):
He and a Viza Zubots got a little a little
into it. Vita Zubats kind of shoved him on a
fast break and he falls. He got up real quick
and tried to step up to Zubats.
Speaker 10 (27:22):
So I was like, okay, Victor, I didn't know you
had that in you.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
Twenty three points and twelve rebounds for Victor one Banyama
in the loss. The Mavericks edge of the Pelicans won
thirty seven to one thirty six, and Zion Williamson played,
but they lost.
Speaker 10 (27:33):
The end of with twenty nine points.
Speaker 8 (27:34):
Though the seventy six ers beat the Kings one seventeen
to one oh four.
Speaker 10 (27:38):
The Knicks have won five in a row.
Speaker 8 (27:39):
They defeated the Nuggets, won seventeen to one oh four,
all starters in double digits, but Jalen Brunson thirty points
and fifteen assists. Jonovan Mitchell dropped thirty four points as
the Cavaliers outscored the Heat won twenty six to one

the Timberwolves seventy two to seven and halfway through the
third quarter.

WNBA star Kaitlin Clark has declined an invitation to take

In the NFL, the Jets have agreed to terms with

reports some of the ads that are going to be
airing during Super Bowl fifty nine on Fox are going

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Yeah. Actually, I looked up like what it was when
the Super Bowl first started out, like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 10 (28:58):
What is it? When he first started it.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Was fifty dollars. Fifty dollars for fifteen seconds. Yeah, they're
not eight million, yeah, eight million.
Speaker 10 (29:05):
For probably thirty second seven seconds.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
The editing that is done by these no, no, we
got to cut that eight frames out here and yeah
eight frames earlier here.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
Get another thirty seconds by doing that, yes, oh.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
Yeah, but you paid eight million, and it's not like
they're giving you a production costs or the actors or
the copy or anything.
Speaker 10 (29:27):
No, No, now you got you're.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Added costs on top of it.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I just I just hope that they they the commercials
are enough where they don't have to cut so much
out that I don't know what the commercial is for.
Speaker 10 (29:36):
I love that because, like I.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Watched this McConaughey commercial where he's doing Ditka. Yeah, I
don't know what it's for.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I don't care.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
I mean the Bear Bears. I don't know what it's
for about bears, and it's.
Speaker 10 (29:48):
Not about the Bears.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
No, I'm laughing the whole time, like it's not Halloween.
He's dressed up as Ditka and then there's a like
an uber Eats thing. I'm like, what is he? What
is this commercial?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Well, he's doing all the uber eat sad, so it
wasn't clear.
Speaker 1 (30:02):
I'm with you, yeah, but always doing you standing for
the mirror going the Bears Bears Bears, No, the Bears, No, No,
not Bears. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, Bears, Bears,
Bears Bears commercial for I don't know.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I don't even know I had to answer your question.
It's thirty second commercial for eight million.
Speaker 8 (30:18):
No, right, I'm saying that they're probably it's gonna be
like twenty seven so they can make more time for
more commercials.
Speaker 5 (30:24):
That's not gonna get their money back.
Speaker 10 (30:26):
Yeah they're not. Yeah, you're not. You're seeing the point
I'm trying.
Speaker 8 (30:29):
To say, trying to squeeze as much as they can
out of the lemon.
Speaker 10 (30:32):
Here, justin just go every time, just.
Speaker 5 (30:35):

Alright?
Speaker 1 (30:51):
Thank you?
Speaker 10 (30:51):

Speaker 1 (30:52):
You know, maybe Steve Cohen for eight million, could just

you know, and then and then you end with a
big buy by Wan Sodo. Hey, we're ready for next year.
What's the purp? Now, we're just gonna show metsighlines. We
want to show Alonzo's home run, so you know we're
gonna show Lindor's big home run. We're gonna show we
got sodo. Yeah, eight million, that's cool. I can do that.

Pitch to Pete as Hey, Pete, we love you. I mean,

(33:18):
big curveball thrown our way today courtesy of Bill Belichick,
who appeared on the The Let's Go podcast that Jim
Gray and Tom Brady have made famous over the last
few years, and when the conversation turned to winning and
winning Super Bowls of what it takes to win, Belichick
guena went on this whole rant and diet tribe that, Hey,
(33:40):
I don't win games. The players win games. He mentioned
a bunch of Hall of Famers and guys that played
on the pages. These guys all played, you know, guys
like Ty Law and Teddy Bruski, and you know that they,
you know, Vince will Fork. These guys win games. I
didn't win any. And then he kind of offered that
maybe the Lombardi Trophy should be renamed.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
Players win games. You can't win games without good players.
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I don't care who the coach is, It's impossible you
can't win without good players.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
They don't name it the Star Trophy, It's named Little
Bardi Trophy.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
It's a name it the Brady Trophy.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
He wants seven of them.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Okay, I first of all, I think this has to
be ai Bill Belichick. There's no way he goes on
this podcast and starts talking and crediting the players with
how great they are and not his coaching. Right, the
players are so great? And Tom Brady, who if he's
so great, why did you Nicol and Diamond to push
him out? We don't want to pay him anymore. I
don't want to pay him anymore. I want to start
(34:35):
over with Mac Jones. I wanted Jimmy Garoppolo three years
before we kick Brady out. Oh yeah, Now suddenly I'm
all pro Brady, and I'm saying, oh, it should rename
it to the Brady Trophy because he certainly won enough
of it. Like this has to be ai Bill Belichick,
because there's no way this is him actually saying this
when for twenty some odd years he has been the opposite.
(34:56):
Where he decided I want to tear this Patriots team
down because I'm sick of Brady getting all the credit
and I want to remake it with a bunch of
no names, and I want to win with absolutely zero
talent on this team, Like I want to win and
have people just go. Bill Belichick is the greatest coach
that sports have ever seen. And John Wooden isn't even
(35:17):
deserving to be in the same area code as Bill
Belichick because look at all this lack of talent. Look
at all these these safeties that he's taking from Division
two schools in the first round. Look at this horrible
roster he is putting together because he wants no stars
to prove that he knows more about football than anybody.
This is a guy suddenly who now is saying, hey, yeah,
oh you don't win without great players. This is like
(35:39):
a load of crap from Bill Belichick. Did he was
a bet and say, all right, if I lose, I'll
go on a podcast and I'll credit players. Oh wow, Okay,
Like I guess, I guess I gotta go on thisspite
that the Lions lost to the Commanders, I'll go on
the podcast and I'll start crediting the players. Like really,
I think it's Ai Belichick. It has to be.
Speaker 4 (35:54):
I do like that you went and you grabbed John
Wooden in this same, you know, same sentence, and in
that analogy, folks go looking up, go look at the history,
and John Wooden, think about what people say about Belichick,
and let's go have some fun, shall we. All right,
So moving on from there, Belichick, this is the first
time he's talked about players and how they win and
(36:15):
coaches lose. Game like there has been a consistent theme
of his for years now. At the end, wasn't contentious
and miserable? I always wondered how much of that was
a bit overblown because you had someone who felt a
bit burned, and that's where you get the Wickersham and
all of those reporting. The Wickersham reports sounds like one
of those specials you'd watch on A and Eckersham reporters,
(36:39):
but all of those things, right, So someone feels spurned,
So all of a sudden we start hearing all the
dirty laundry being aired when they I always thought with
Brady it was the I've always made my living, And
this is Belichick going, you know what, We've always gotten
out of guys a year or two too early rather
than that year disastrous year too late. So let's do
(37:00):
it here. Especially when you had Jimmy uh and waiting
in the wings that it did work, and then he
made one. Uh. He's kept pulling out the strings and
you know, before it was all it all came asunder.
But looking at it now, I mean, look, he and
Jim Gray obviously have it a good laugh, right, and
Gray mentions it's not the bart Star Award and bart
(37:22):
Start didn't win a bunch of them.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Man, yeah he won. Well, he won the first two,
so I mean were they were, that was it? But
they called. But like, I don't get this sudden change
unless Belichick really is saying, hey, I really want back
in the NFL. Dude, it's not happening anymore. Everybody hired
everybody else. Unless you want to go coach the Saints,
you it's just stick with North Carolina. Worry about beating
(37:43):
Syracuse on Friday night this fall. Oh my god, that's
schedule for Syracuse is impossibly difficult. But like, I don't
understand what he's trying to do all of a sudden. Well,
but I got his history from Belichick.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
Well, but let me let me try to encapsulate it.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
When you're in it, right, you have one way that
is always worked about motivating guys, right, which is all
the tales of yes, everybody got called out in film review,
but who wore it worst, Brady Gronkowski, the guys that
were the biggest stars. Right, So when it comes time
to in the aftermath, when you don't have to do
(38:16):
that in the locker room, you don't have to be
that guy anymore. You put that persona aside. You just
get back down to brass tacks. You know, this is
what won us games. These guys were excellent in points
that they needed to be, much like we talk about
with the Patriots or like the chiefs now or some
of these other squads and all other sports of how
(38:38):
in the final minutes they don't flinch.
Speaker 3 (38:41):
But when you're in it, that's the persona that Bill
Belichick adopted, right, he's led Tasso.
Speaker 1 (38:47):
Now, Frostburg, you actually have idea of what the new
trophy would look like.
Speaker 5 (38:53):
Yeah, I have the design in front of the design
in front of it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
Okay, what does it look like?
Speaker 5 (38:56):
And replaced the silver football with a deflated one.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Oh yeah, that would look really cool.
Speaker 6 (39:01):
You just you see like all the dents in it
and the bottom opens up where you can store your
smash cell phone. I know you're gonna say, and the
bottom opens up in video of the other team practicing.
Speaker 1 (39:12):
Just slide down that drone comes out. All right, go fly,
go record that practice. Be quick, be fleets and come
back to me.
Speaker 4 (39:20):
How can I get a three D printer to make
one of these immediately? What's time to market?
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Frosper?
Speaker 6 (39:27):
It would We'll be ready to roll by Sunday, it
would be, And on the bottom it would it would say,
you know the Brady Trump presented by TV twelve with
the website on the bottom and like Alex Guerrero's signature
on the back of it, is that what you would have?
Speaker 5 (39:39):
And it takes you to cheaters dot com?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Wow?
Speaker 4 (39:42):
Yeah, man, that would be like the wicked dolls that
took you to a website that they didn't want you to.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Suddenly, now I love Tom Brady, I love all the
players all the time. Now that I'm not getting back
at oh wait wait wait wait wait, like I really
this is I mean, this is e he talked. He
didn't treat people great when he talked about him in
the media. He didn't say any glowing things about Brady.
He never said really glowing things about anybody any of
(40:10):
his players, and you know that pissed him off. But
now suddenly now they're all great. Now hey, bygones, be bygones. Man, No, no,
now you guys are all great. Oh okay, thanks Bill.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Hey, how many people talk about.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
How their relationships with their parents changed as they get older. Man,
they were really hard on me. And then I got
a job and I became a functioning adult, and all
of a sudden we're besties, right, I mean, look the
safe thing here, and hey, the kids did good, dug
And it's.
Speaker 1 (40:35):
Not and look it's not his age or anything, because
Pete Carroll got a job. He's seventy. He found a
way to get along with people more. He's seventy four
years older than Belichick and he still got a job.
Like Bill, it's done, it's over. Just stay who you are,
Stay there, curmudgeon that you were just.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Hey, what does he have to do to get run
out of a Raiders organization like he did leading USC.
