Martin Weiss and Veejay Huskey, in for Covino & Rich, react to Jayson Tatum saying he is officially elite after winning the title this year. The guys deliver the truth on Paul George after he said he was "disrespected" by the Clippers. Is it good or bad for Major League Baseball that they have over 30 first-time All-Stars in this year's Midsummer Classic? Plus, Martin is hyped for Netflix's follow-up to "Quarterback!"

got a ton of stuff on the Florida Baseball All
Star Game. What looks like it has the feel of
an All Star game right now in Las Vegas as
Team USA is getting ready practicing and such. And we
had the first quotes from Jason Tatum, who missed the
first two days of practice for Team USA. Discovery person
(01:00):
more reasons recovery, maybe personal reasons. They they strike a
game anyway, Jason Tatum with the fresh haircut by Yeah,
said yeah, yeah, it's barber's nice. I mean, it's barber's nice.
I'm kind of upset about it, though.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Barbe you guys got a cut of the same gray.
You can get that cut, bro, don't you can.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Get that cut. I've gotten it before. Okay, I didn't didn't.
I didn't know. It's actually no lie going into the
barbershop and said give me the Jason, give me the Tatum.
You've gone and asked for the Tatum because look, I'll
be honest, I was. It was a barbershop in Hollywood,
but not the right kind of Hollywood. So it was
one of those places where it's like, guys asked me,
(01:38):
do you want to get a two or a one?
And I'm like, yeah, no, no, no, Google, Jason Tata, give
me that. That's the guard, the two and the one
that's the guard. If I say, if I tell you
I want to fade and you tell me do you
want a two or a one, I'm assuming that you
don't cut my type of hair. Let often, well, I
mean yours is eat yours.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, you got to ask two or one because the
two I'll give you a life fade A one because
of your grade might bring it too close for your liking.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You might want to shadow fade. You don't get skin fase.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You tried to skin fade once last year you did
a skin You want to do something different. You had
the skin fade. But yeah, if they got to ask
you that though, man, But you know, yeah, go get that, Tatum.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I do gotta get Well, it'll be a while for now.
I'm growing actually I'm secretly growing ma here out for
a Halloween costume.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh wow, that's not Ronda, dude. I was thinking about
my Halloween because that's a big thing here. We do
a Fox Sports rad now, you know me, I'm all in.
So I already have my I'm leaving it a secret,
but I already have my costume for this year. I
already found the guy, found the outfit, found everything. I'm like, Okay,
that is gonna that's gonna make them go. That's gonna
be more funnier than the Fred Flintstone I walked in
with last year. I'm gonna top that and win it
(02:43):
this year.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, talking about winning it, this year, Jason Tatum in
the Boston Celtics won a title. Yeah, this the most
recent NBA champion, and you know it's been the topic
because of the bite Jason Tatum Jalon Brown just split
them up. Who's a better player? Is he elite? Right now?
Sason Tatum says, those conversations are over with he goes
(03:04):
just being the topic quote, just being the topic of
discussion of so many debates or whatever it is. Can
he lead a team? Is he a top five player?
There's still a lot of things. I guess they can debate,
but now I've done something they can't debate. I've won
a championship. Having that under my belt is obviously conversations
to be had or whatever I want to say. But
they always got to refer to me as an NBA champion.
(03:25):
And then he dropped the mic and walked away. I
added that last part. The question is you know the
debate Jason Tatum says, of course, his leads all the
debate shows today because he says he's no longer worthy
of debate, So of course, let every show. But the
question is with this title, VJ, you are at times
(03:46):
have been hard on Tatum. Is the debate over his
elite status done? No?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The debate's night over. One ring doesn't do that. What
the one ring does do is it backs off the can.
He is he that guy that that that proverbial? Of
course we always throw out there. Is he a championship player?
Is he that guy? The answer is yes, he is
that guy. But as far as still debating whether you
are elite. He had a great closeout game. But Jason
(04:18):
Tatum did not shoot well. He shot below thirty percent
from the three. In the finals, he shot below forty
percent from the field. He did not shoot well. He
did the other things that a player needs to do
when you're great to help your team win the most.
The easiest example I always throw at people. People love
to bring up Kobe Bryant's Game seven against the Celtics
six for twenty four or something like that. Right, but
(04:40):
he has sixteen rebounds, and I believe seven or eight
of them were offensive, which gave his team additional possessions
which Ronald Tess hits a three on a huge three.
Derek Fisher hits a three, huge three on one of
those possessions.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh goodness, Grace is my phone? Sorry about that, but
there is there is I'm not used to being there
this time of day.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but there is still debating
my opinion whether he is a you know, the elite guy,
because you gotta go win multiple championships. You and I
were talking about this last week that Boston now has
to go repeat one ring doesn't get it done. You
got people questioned in Denver, you got people questioning the Bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Hey, listen, the Bucks. That's that's three four years ago, right, You.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Gotta go win it again or it just kind of
feels like all the injuries in the East, which you
neither one of us have used as an excuse. You
still gotta go beat who's on the court. You can't
help guys are taking care of themselves, or guys get
hurt of things you can't help that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You still got to go killing. That was when they
wiped the floor with the Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
With the Dallas maverage, right, And I thought Dallas, to
be honest with you, I thought Dallas poured everything they
had into the Western Conference run, and by the time
they got to the finals, Lucas dragging his body to
the finish line. Years I'm glad his country didn't make
the lips because I thought he should have shot out
you're young.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You need to heal.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The Olympics are here in four years in USA. You
can stay here when the season is over and play it.
You'll get a chance to play in the Olympics again.
This isn't gonna be Luca's only chance to represent his country.
But with Jason Tatum, now you gotta go do it again.
You gotta go do it again or it's gonna look
like just that one year and people can point to
games one, two, Games three, and four. People could point
to those games say, hey, he didn't shoot well, he
(06:24):
didn't play well. He had a great close out game,
but that's what you want. But at the end of
the day, he is right. He does have a championship,
he does have a ring, So that argument goes. One
ring does make the argument go, but multiple rings is
what puts you in the elite class. Think about why
Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain don't get the love that
they should really get when we start putting together these
(06:46):
stupid ass lists that we love to put together in
sports talk, TV and radio. Why though they both have
what one ring, they have their champions but they only
have one ring. Multiple rings will then really select Jalen
Brown and Jason Tatum, especially Tatum because Brown is such
a quiet guy. Tatum seems to be the front, you know,
(07:07):
like the front guy and Jason and Jaylen Brown is
the drummer and Jason Tatum's is the lead singer.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, they're both great in the band. You need them both.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But everybody who sees everybody up front first, but who
makes everything go to beat the baseline, to beat the drums.
So the debate's not over for e lead status. But
I do agree with him as far as championship and winner.
He is a winner now. He is a champion now.
You can't take that from him. He is one hundred
percent correct about that part.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Jason Tatum is absolutely elite. Like when you look out
for now we'll talk about greatest of all time level.
That's where I get into the counting championships because then
you're you're quite literally splitting hairs, right like you're debating
some of the best to ever do it. It's Jayson
Tatum in that category. Yet, No, he'll have to win
(07:53):
multiple to be considered one of the greatest of all times.
But for this eras NBA, yeah, yeah, he's definitely elite.
And that NBA Finals MVP that he didn't win. I
didn't have a problem with it going to Jalen Brown.
But also it does look kind of funny when he
leads the team in points, rebounds, and assists for the
entire postseason and doesn't get the MVP. Only six people
(08:13):
ever did that before. And tell me if these names
interest you, Jokic, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Akim Olijuan, Larry Bird.
I think they play a little hoop. What I'm saying
that I'm just a little I think they ball a
little bit. I interest you in that, like you know
what I'm saying. And then when you look at his numbers,
when you compare them to other young players, right and
all time greats and then players in his era. I mean,
(08:37):
he's made the playoffs all seven years of his career,
five time All Star, three time All NBA First Team
at all this before twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Five conference finals from right, like four or five conference
finals in two NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well see they made six of the last eight, and
then they made the conference finals the year before Tatum
got there.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So that's six conference final So six conference finals, two finals.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
One chance. She's first in playoff points scored for people
under twenty six past Kobe Bryant, and that one fourth
in playoff wins, fourth to playoff wins for a guy
that was like historically was like, oh, he can't get
over the hump. He's like, well, he was certainly a
hell of a lot of playoff games before not getting
over the hump, you know what I mean. And then
(09:20):
when you look at the other guys around him, like
in his age group, Luka Doncic, you know, around the
same age Anthony ever was a little bit younger, but
still in that same group, Tyre's Halliburton, Zion Williamson, Like,
I'm taking Tatum over just about all of those guys
save maybe Luca Luca, except except for Luca. You can, Yeah,
I'm with you on that. I'll take Tatum, and Tatum
(09:40):
plays both sides.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, well, I'll take Tatum over all those guys, especially
Zion and Haliburt.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Haliburton and me has not arrived yet.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He's a really good player, but I don't think he's
I don't think he's arrived yet. I gotta see what
happens next year once again, when the East is healthier.
Philly just pushed all their chips in. They're going for
it right now. So Indiana, I don't know if you're
getting back to the conference finals. I really the Nick
Obaca's got better, boss is the defended champions.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The Sixers have pushed all that, they put all their
money down at the table. They've pushed every chip they've
had to the middle of the table. They're going for
it right now. They want the sisters gotta win it this,
they gotta they gotta get to the final. The whole
East feels like the East is sweet.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's why, Yeah, exactly, everything's don't get it now or
five teams in the East all feel like they have
a shot to win a championship. Let's go get it.
That's why they're making the move that they are now.
But the thing about Tatum when he's he's absolutely right
about the championship because it put you in a different category.
Remember in high school when you were like you first
got your driver's license. Remember the first person to get
(10:42):
a car in my family or no, no, no, in your class,
in my class, like class, the first few people that
got car. Scott Peters, you know what I'm saying. Scott Peters,
the man, he was. No, he was. He was the man.
He was whether he whatever he was driving. Yeah, that
thing mat you may had to pump the break three times,
roll the window down and then it would start. He
had waiters, didn't have the call mom for a ride. No,
(11:04):
he was the man.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He had an old white Nissan CenTra. If you remember
that car. He had a two door. Remember back in
the day. He used to take the big speakers and
put him in the trunk. He had two twelves in
his trunk. And he had a detachable He's the first
one with a detachable face from the stereo. Scott Dad
was a ring He had a little money, but Scott
got Scott got his.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Car for all of our first Hey, Scott, can we
go to the mall? You got five hours? Oh you don't,
all right, go ask your mama, right. John Barkley got
to ask his mother for a ride to the wall. You
know what I'm saying. There's a ton of great NBA
players who never touched the ring, right, who never sniffed
it right, the one chance they got there got blown
(11:42):
out the water. Jason Tatum for his credit with two
finals appearances and got one and one. You know, so
after that, like you, I said all typ about Michigan football. Hey,
the ring still shines. That ring still shine beautifully, nice
and bright, and there's a whole lot of people that
wishes that he was in this and at twenty six,
he's got a shot if he continues on an upper
(12:04):
trajectory to be one of the quote unquote greatest of
all time, like in that top echelon group based off
if he continues what he's doing. Now, let me think
about it. If he has another six years like he
had the last six years of his career, that would
be what six NBA First teams, ten time All Star right, like,
maybe a couple more championships or at least a couple five.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That'd be five to five Eastern Conference Finals. That'd be
four more maybe be four more finals appearances.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, I'm saying, like you do it right, I'll be
exact over and of course doesn't work like that, but
you know, when you're projecting outward Jason Tatum, I mean
in it, I mean he was all He's all NBA
this year, Yeah, right, in a year that we poo
pulled the Celtics from most of the year. You know,
it's the only people that who believed in Boston lived
(12:51):
in Boston. Yeah. Well, my thing is I knew they
were good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I just Boston was that team for me, and I
said at the last two or three years, they have
to it for me to believe that they can win it,
because they keep getting to the Eastern Conference finals and
then you get to the finals.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're up to one on Stephan the Warriors. They're up
to one.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
They go in, they score forty points in the fourth
quarter of Game two that they hit ten three pointers
that quarter, and they still Game two from Golden State.
Then go home and grab Game three. They go up
to to one and it's like whoa, Okay, here we go,
and then they lose three in a row and gets
get knocked out in six. Steph just goes ballistic and
(13:28):
he won. You could tell Steph wanted it bad. But
if he had finished his career with no ring, stocked
them alone. Barkley Ewen Miller are the first guys that
come to my mind.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Sure, I would probably put him with Miller in Ewing
if he'd have finished with no ring. But Barkley, I'm
old enough.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
To use my first NBA player star I've ever saw,
my first NBA game was a Washington Bullets and seventy
six er game and the old landover Landover Arena in Maryland.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So I said you more than saying. The first guy
in the high school at class had a Nissan Barkley.
He was just a monster. Everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He was the second best player on the original Dream
Team and then stocked in him alone, stocked him is
kind of by himself, leads all time and assist and
stills and then Malone was a you know, up there
and scoring top three, top two, number two score for
a while before he started getting past.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So if he had finished with no ring, he might
could fit in that class.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But guess what, he doesn't have to worry about trying
to fit in that class because he's got the.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ring, absolutely fact. And again, shine it, baby, because that
thing still shines.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They repeat. I know, certainly, I know, we don't care.
Right now, We're going to the football season.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
We'll see, we'll see, right see. I think if you
ask a question, do they have a shot to win?
Three or one? I lean closer to one, but they
should be the favorites this year. Oh wow, three or one?
You lean? H okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And I'm just to me, it's I'm interesting to see
if Philly could stay on the Philly can stay on
the floor, it could be interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Speaking of Philly, one NBA star said he felt disrespected
by the front office. We'll get to that coming up next.

They have fun.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Man Danny G two shout out to my homie man. Well,
uh mister podcast p had something to say after he
did his uh pop what do you think of?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
First?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
What do you think of him doing his podcast in
the Jersey today? Paul George who I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Well, because it was it was showing it was the
USA Jersey or the Clipper Joe. He didn't know he
did it in his Philadelphia jersey. I mean, I'm sorry,
it's Philly jersey. O. Yeah, it's Philly jersey number eight though, right,
and he said he's wearing eight for coal. I got
no beef with it. I'm sorry, are you asking? That's
my answer? But I mean when I found out that
was the reason.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But you could wear eight for Kobe Bryant to not
have to wear your uniform to work, No man, rock
that rock mom book. Do you wear mom Bo? You
got is wear your other uniform at your other job, Like,
I don't know if you have a fart time job.
I'm curious. But Paul George said that he felt disrespected
by this contract offer.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Let's hear what Paul George had to say about it.
Now we're going to negotiations. Now they now they bring
it to three years one point fifty. All right, that's cool.
It sucks that it had to get to this point
like that. They couldn't we couldn't get this figured out
a lot sooner. But now we at the end of
the year, three years one fifty. So I'm like, all right,
like now we're in We're in the ballpark, you know
(17:31):
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Now we can have conversation here.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I presented the three one fifty no trade because in
the meeting, they're like, you know, we want.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You here long term, we want to you know, when you're.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Retired, we want you to be a Clippers for a lifetime,
like all of this stuff. So I'm like, cool, give
me the three years, one fifty no trade, then like
no trade clad, then I now like I'm taking less,
but least I know I'm here, like I'm committed to y'all.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like they didn't want to hear the no trade wow.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
So then now I'm like, all right, well, then it
only makes sense for me to do four years to twelve, right, like,
at least pay me my money. If y'all gonna trade me,
then y'all gonna trade me. But at least, like now
I'm not in a situation where I could have got
more had I just gone to free agency.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Then take this deal and then y'all could just shit
me wherever I want.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And then now I'm on this deal that I didn't want,
so they didn't want to do that. So now I
was like, now like, now I'm open to entertaining what's
out there.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So that's Paul George on his podcast podcast p Do
You Think? And he said earlier that they'd offered him
what was it, I think two for sixty, which I
think was probably an extension onto his current deal as
opposed to so it's not just a flat thirty million
dollar rate. But he said, all this negotiation from the
Clippers made. It'm feel disrespected now by the Clippers need Jay.
(18:52):
You know, first of all, let me attack it this way.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Why is it that when players don't get the contract
that they want, the word disrespect all always comes up.
Let me just read you this real quick that I
just pulled up. In twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, Paul George
from OKAC got paid thirty million. The following year thirty
three million, thirty five million, thirty nine million, forty two million,
(19:15):
forty five million. That's been what you've made every single
year since twenty and eighteen. Brother, nobody's disrespecting you. They're
paying you for the market and what you are today.
I like Paul George. I was covering the Clippers the
last month of the season in the playoff series. Got
a chance to talk to him. Very cordial, gentlemen, very
(19:35):
open to your questions, very elaborate with his answer. So
it gives you something good to go video or right
or whatever for the reporters. Good dude for everything that
I've always heard about them, But this this idea that
they disrespected. You know, we don't have a lot of
wiggle room. We paid Kawhi, we can't get anywhere with
what we got. You can't overpay. You can't pay Ferrari
(19:57):
prices for a Mercedes Benz Ben's and Benz is a
great car. But it's not a Rari. It's not a Bogatti.
It's not a Lambo. It's not a Lambo, it's not
a Lamborghini. It's none of those cars. It's not an
Austin Martin, you know what I'm saying. It's not a Maserati.
It's none of those. He's a Benz at this point.
So you can't be trying to get Ferrari money or
(20:17):
or or or Porsche money when you when you're giving
out Ben's production and Benz is still good, but they
can't overpay you right now when they're still trying to
figure out how to even make this thing work, and
they brought back ty Lou to try to make this
thing work. It, I mean, it just might have done
well if you guys could have met somewhere in the
middle to second part. I don't like the I don't
(20:39):
like the couch talk. I see a lot with athletes nowadays.
You didn't even have to come out and say this
to me. This was just there was no point in
him saying this and bringing this up. You're had a
new team, go about your biz, have fun, buddy, and
you know it's been well. There's no bad talk from them.
There's no bad talk from anybody here, no former players.
Go go to Philly and do your been great, thanks
(21:00):
for your service. Cool to come out and do this
just kind of feels like he's in his feelings a
little bit, and that disrupts me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Marty, Well, you know, you gotta deliver for the podcast audience.
You know that's the question I would have had if
I'm the Clippers. How much you make it on this podcast?
Why you need a million from us? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean clearly, you know you got two jobs anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Like I said, I just read off the numbers. Bro,
You've made a ton of money, a ton of it
and if you want to really win a championship now
I'm not Now I can't front him going to Philly.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I think gives him a much better chance to get
to an NBA Finals than staying here with the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The West is loaded. Well here's I mean. The reality
of the situation is, like, sure, you feel disrespected because
they didn't offer you the money that you thought you
were worth but ultimately they didn't want you anymore. So
if you want to feel disrespected, it would be deeper
than that. To me, it's deeper than rap. They said,
we're ready to move on from you. We'll sign Kawhi,
(22:01):
We'll signed James Harden. They didn't want you.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That surprised me that they picked essentially hardened over him.
Would you have done that?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well? No one. Also would have handled these negotiations differently
and quite honestly, if I knew that this was the
way that things were going, I would have traded Paul George.
Oh okay last year, Yeah, because you gett nothing for him.
Now you get nothing for him, and you're almost.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Forced to sign Harden. Now I feel you spend the
money on somebody. Yeah, you do, you do.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But the idea that the Clippers did this is stay
under the second apron. This deal wouldn't have put them
over the second apron. The this was a Clippers saying,
this was Steve Balmer and Tyleru saying, this team is done.
We are not winning with this team currently constructed, but
we're not gonna tear it all down right now. We
(22:49):
gotta we gotta renovate. Yeah, there's some good bones here,
but we gotta renovate that catcher. Looks like it's from
the seventies that they have to change it up. That's
what they So, Paul George Field disrespect that. I get that,
but like it's not disrespectful to not give you a
no trade clause. There's only two people in the NBA
with no trade clauses Lebron, Bradley Bial Bill's got a
(23:11):
no trade clause. It was questionable when it happened, and
Bill's got a no trade clause. Lebron and Bradley bildlayers
with no trade clauses. Brevi the Clippers said, look, I
am not signing up for the business of three stars
over thirty three years old. Yeah, that's really what it
boiled down to. And just got knocked out in the
(23:32):
first round. That's really what we honestly got knocked out
in the first round. But you know what, good for you,
Paul George, because you got it backed anyway. Yeah. Now,
now if you do get traded now, I know people
made the allusion to our you know, the similarities to
well Blake Griffin took under and then got traded to
Detroit six months later. Well, now if you do get traded,
Paul George, congratulations, you got as much money as you
(23:54):
possibly could get wherever you're playing in the NBA. Now,
he'll be with Philly this year, Philly, I feel you speaking.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, he won't. He's he's solidified in Philly. That's another
part of why why do this? Why say this? Like
where's the win? You got your money, you got to
pay the coin based draft packing sponsorship all and you're
on and you're on a better team like that. They
Philly got much better. The Clippers got worse by losing you.
(24:24):
I would just sit back and just kind of smile
on myself. I would have said all them, all the
politically correct and you know what, had a great time there,
negotiations and negotiations. I've got nothing bad to say about.
He's going like bullet boy. He did so and they
gave me this, and then I said this, and then
my agent said this, and then they said like that that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That that pillow talk athletes are doing right now there
that just come on, we were men, we're man. You
deal with it and even move on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Man.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Paul George has the podcast audience to feed, so he's
got to drop the store.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, they could have talked about it. He could have
sat there talked about how righted Philly is and playing
with embiid and playing with with Maxi, and and uh,
you know, the Philadelphia. He could have talked about Gyros
cheese steaks, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Rocky Statue. He
could have talked about a whole bunch of stuff. I
just thought, and like, once again, I like Paul George.
I just think this was a bad It was a
bad look. Questioning that I think everybody has right now
(25:19):
is do they move the studios to Philly or.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Does he zoom in to the studio that currently exists
with this Two co hosts who I'm not God forbid me.
They don't. Their name's not on the show, so I
don't know who they are. No, all due respect, I
don't watch the podcast. No. No. I watched the first
four minutes of it that I've ever watched today when
I was trying to figure out why you felt disrespected
and we got down to the bottom of it.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Now we have to update this. Yes, Long Crown was
doing it, but I got distracted by the soccer call
good thing. Bursa's here to text it to me. We
got thirty four first time Major League Baseball All Stars here,
as Jordan Westburg and Hunter Green were added as injury
replacements to the Midsummer Classic. BJ Is this a good thing, man,
(26:19):
a bad thing or not a thing at all?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Man, I'm really split, but I don't want to give
a soft answer.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Make your mind. Yeah, I don't want to give a
soft answer.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I think this could be a good thing, but I
think it's a bad thing for the current league that
we have right now. A few weeks ago, we had
the Margay Morris on our show, and I actually them.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I felt like baseball base I feel like baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Is missing something this year. Fourteen teams under five hundred,
A lot of the big name guys just aren't producing.
And then some of the teams that are good, they
got like two like the Yankees, right, they got two
guys and an other than that, that lineup is just futuring.
You got two guys just kind of really carrying you,
and that's how you in with all these first time
All Stars. But with the changes, and you and I
(27:05):
taught baseball on our show a lot. With the changes
over the last two years, we both had said in
a minute, I started watching baseball more. You're deep in
at already being with mlbbro dot com and loving the
sport and covering the sport. Those changes did bring people
back more and it did bring some excitement to the
game because oh, let's see this pitch clock. Oh you
can only you can only throw back to first base
how many times? Oh? So then on the when you're
(27:26):
out of times, then the runner can go, okay, this
is okay. Now we're talking. Now we got something going.
And now it feels like, now that that's over, we're
back to honestly America kind of being who hum about
baseball And this could be the chance to actually get
eyes back to the to the TV set for the stars.
(27:46):
We know, the big dogs, the big horses, the big
dogs that run on the porch. We can get back
to those. But you got thirty four new All Stars,
and most fans, especially the casual fans, they aren't gonna
know who none of these guys are I'm interesting to
see what the ratings look like. I know yesterday was
a big thing about who should be the starting pitcher
(28:07):
from the NL the kid from the Pirates Out of You, Yeah, exactly,
the kid from the Pirates out of You at an LSU,
which which I agree with people saying, no start that kid.
There's other two pictures that we know have more wins,
but he has a lower EER than both those guys do.
And don't you want to see the new hot young
sensation throw against air judge, throw again, throw against like
the top guys of the al because by the second
(28:29):
or third in of those guys are gonna be out
of the lineup, and now you're gonna get this new
guy in and he's gonna be throwing to another new
guy that most people aren't gonna know who they are.
I just like I said, it could be a good
thing for the future, but I think today currently as
we sit, it's not good for the game. I don't think.
I don't I don't think it'll be good for the
ratings the home run derby. I'm excited to see what
the ratings look like, but I don't think they're gonna
(28:50):
be good.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think it is a good thing. I think it
is a good thing if nothing else, because you're talking
about all these new fans that came to the game,
right yeah, after the rules shade, and I think they're
still here. I don't think that baseball has just lost
the momentum that it did just from two three years ago.
I don't think it's died off. I just feel it
feels like it's tapered a little bit. Though you've been
watching too much Copo America. That's the problem. So the
(29:12):
reality is, though, I think when you see these new guys,
like if the All Star Games to me are games
for the casual fan, like games that you know, if
you're don't watch a team every day, maybe you watch
the All Star Game. Gives you exposure to a whole
new set of people. Thirty four new All Stars gives
you exposure to a whole new set of people. Gives
guys like Bobby Witt Junior, for example, who's been crushing
(29:35):
it in Kansas City, the opportunity to do it on
the big stage. And it reminds me of who when
Julio Rodriguez kind of hit the scene first, right, he
was kind of an unknown guy then had a big
moment and now all of a sudden, everybody knows who
he is. Right for the Seattle Mariners. I think you
have that opportunity a few times now, especially with Paul Skins.
This is Coveno and Richard. We would be remiss to
(29:56):
mention that's Livy Dunn's boyfriend, right How to make sure
we that out?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, yeah, pop culture got to get the pop coach
and that's definitely I could see a clip right now,
Steve Levi Doo's boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'm slightly vat though. Anyway. I think it's a good
thing for baseball, get some new blood in there, and
then excite some of the new fans that were generated
by some of these rules changes, because you're right, the
games are now a more standard length, even though there's
still not time on it. It's not like soccer where
they just arbitrarily decide how much time we're going to
(30:29):
add at the end the same length every pitch. You know,
there's still three outs in an inning and all of that.
But I think it's a good thing for baseball, and
I'm excited to see how the new All Stars go
out there and perform, because I think when you have
moments like that. All Star games and postseasons are where
stars are born in sports. So this gives an opportunity
(30:51):
for baseball to develop a whole new era of stars
and potentially strengthen the game that much more. If you
look at the National League pitchers, they have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven eleven pitchers for the National League. Their first All
Star is that including Hunter Green? Uh No, make it?
(31:14):
Then make it twelve? And well glass now right?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We just heard Glass now is gonna be on a
on the dal They rest in glass now, so glass
now will be out. So it's still it's either eleven
or twelve either or that is a lot of new arms.
Uh in an All Star game. I tell you what
can help this. If we get a barn burner, we
get an eight nine game, we get an eleven seven game.
If we get three to one, this is chuck. That's
(31:37):
not gonna be good. Not with a bunch of new faces.
You don't want to see a bunch of groundouts and
a bunch of pop ups. If you're new, you're here,
you're supposed to be the next coming. This is your
first All Star, all right, baby? I gotta see what's up.
You gotta come out and do something, or trust me, Mark,
it's just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
If this is a three to one game, Bro, this
is that's not that's not gonna be. That's not gonna
be the business. But like I said, we get a bar,
we get about three home run, maybe three four home runs,
we get some nice hard hits, we get a double,
maybe somebody gets a triple.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Still get a couple of stolen bases.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Then you'll, I think, then you could say, hey, you
see all those new All Stars. He that was one
of the better All Star games I've watched in the
last such and such years.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
If you get that, then I'll go, Okay, now we're working.
This thing's two to one.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I mean ouch, and that that's not what you want
from an All Star game. That's like an NBA Alls Game,
All Star game that's two hundred to two to one
eighty seven. Just In VJ hates pitching duels. I don't
want pitching dudes in All Star games. I want to
see the big arm though, go against the big bat
and if you strike them out, strike them out. But
I want three straight fast balls. Do you guys, remember
(32:46):
Barry Bonds versus the big Unit Randy Johnson in the
All Star Game. He told them I'm giving He told him,
I'm giving you three straight fast balls, and he gave
them three straight.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Fit if you can hit it, baby, that's what I
need to see. So VJ hates pitching duels, but sliders please.
We'll see if he likes this new show that's coming
out soon. I love this behind the scenes stuff. I
can't get enough of it. What does VJ think? Martin

you said the other day? You proclaimed it last week?
It's football Sea, it is football season. We're getting in
the vibe. You have a little hard knocks with the Giants.
(33:45):
Do you really think somebody's gonna pay? Say Kwon Barkley
spoiler alert, Yes, yes it happened.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But's gonna score four touchdowns against the against the Giants
the year when the Eagles watch.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
We have hearing Receiver, the part two of Quarterback. Yeah,
I am so excited to go home and watch this. Yes,
I cannot wait. Yes, to go home and watch this
with Deebo George Kittles tight end. What are we doing?
Justin Jefferson, I'm a Russet brown and I've seen Devanta
Adams on just about every TV show available today as
(34:19):
he was doing some promo for it. I can't wait. Yes, listen,
can you can? You know how electric the first complaint
of a quarterback is gonna be like, It's gonna be
like Justin Jefferson the Week thirteen, like Nick Bullin's again. Yeah,
kidding me.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm excited for this too, man. This is kind of
gets your snacks. This is gets your snacks. Right now,
I'll put my kids to bed, and this is when
Daddy gets his alone time at night. The house is quiet,
My daughter Journey, my son Cameron Davey into bed sleep.
This is when I get my snacks. And I'm sitting now.
I'm super super excited for it. As I am all
in on this, and I hope they keep it going,
(34:58):
and I hope people don't back out.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Players kill me.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Sometimes these days, you guys want to tweet, and you
want to do podcasts, and you want to be at
the White Party, All White Holiday, July fourth Party and
all you want to be seen. But then when you
get approached about something that can actually help grow the game,
grow more interest, Right, how can you be more interested
in the NFL. It's the number one thing going in
the world in sports. But trust me, you could just
(35:22):
you could keep giving us more. I'll take football seven
days a week. I don't play. It ain't my body.
I might be insensitive saying that, but it ain't. It
ain't my body. You'll get paid millions of dollars to play.
They said you got player to Tuesday, get your ass
there and play. I'm gonna sit home with it's sandwich
you watch. But I'm super excited for this. I hope
they didn't edit out. You know, because receivers are divas
(35:42):
and receivers talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Receivers are different. It was different from quarterback. Quarterback. Think
about it.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
We got Marcus Mariota who was trying to resurrect his career.
So he's not gonna say anything like outlanders. Right, you
got Kirk Cousins, mister, family man, mister, mister. Three of
them were family men, mister. But he was sick.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
They ran into trying to find new quarterback. Yeah. He
was been the one to find people who are like
on the prow.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, I wanted to and all those guys said no,
all these single young quarterbacks. Is like, nah, I'm good,
I'm still wild, and so I don't need I don't
need y'all to see that.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
But I think this is good for football.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
And before the show started, uh, we were talking about, hey,
give us, give us a rush cover.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
You know what rush cover is. Rush covers is defensive
linemen and Russians and defensive backs.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Give us that one. Next, give us that one. Next,
I'll take offensive lineman. I'll take offenses because it would
be interesting to see how much food they have to
consume for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I would watch kicker, yeah, kick, I'll watch yeah, yeah,
I watch it. All The Giants front office is illuminating.
It's amazing to think that I was at the Senior Bowlamobile.
To think that that's where the Brian Burns trade was
born just on the sideline there. It's like two first,
what are you talking about? Enough? I'm now on.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I'm out on the after season Hard Knocks only because
I think, Yeah, I think those conversations should stay private,
because I think that's when it gets to realists.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I do. I think that's when front office people are
talking to realists like, no more flip flamman fluff, no cameras,
no phones, We're not paying this guy. You think somebody
else is gonna die that?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And you and when you start to let that stuff out,
I think I think gets treading on thin ice with that.
I think something can, something bad's gonna happen out of that.
They should take that away and they leave everything else alone.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Show me because I want to. I want to hear
Joe Shane say, we're paying forty million dollars. You better
do something like temmy, why did you do that? Who
made you paying forty million dollars? Man? You liking it?
To the player? Response? You like it? Now to a
player says something you said, you'll watch them play on Tuesday.
I'll watch that all the time. Coming up next with

(00:38):
got a ton of stuff on the Florida Baseball All
Star Game. What looks like it has the feel of
an All Star game right now in Las Vegas as
Team USA is getting ready practicing and such. And we
had the first quotes from Jason Tatum, who missed the
first two days of practice for Team USA. Discovery person
(01:00):
more reasons recovery, maybe personal reasons. They they strike a
game anyway, Jason Tatum with the fresh haircut by Yeah,
said yeah, yeah, it's barber's nice. I mean, it's barber's nice.
I'm kind of upset about it, though.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Barbe you guys got a cut of the same gray.
You can get that cut, bro, don't you can.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Get that cut. I've gotten it before. Okay, I didn't didn't.
I didn't know. It's actually no lie going into the
barbershop and said give me the Jason, give me the Tatum.
You've gone and asked for the Tatum because look, I'll
be honest, I was. It was a barbershop in Hollywood,
but not the right kind of Hollywood. So it was
one of those places where it's like, guys asked me,
(01:38):
do you want to get a two or a one?
And I'm like, yeah, no, no, no, Google, Jason Tata, give
me that. That's the guard, the two and the one
that's the guard. If I say, if I tell you
I want to fade and you tell me do you
want a two or a one, I'm assuming that you
don't cut my type of hair. Let often, well, I
mean yours is eat yours.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, you got to ask two or one because the
two I'll give you a life fade A one because
of your grade might bring it too close for your liking.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
You might want to shadow fade. You don't get skin fase.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You tried to skin fade once last year you did
a skin You want to do something different. You had
the skin fade. But yeah, if they got to ask
you that though, man, But you know, yeah, go get that, Tatum.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
I do gotta get Well, it'll be a while for now.
I'm growing actually I'm secretly growing ma here out for
a Halloween costume.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Oh wow, that's not Ronda, dude. I was thinking about
my Halloween because that's a big thing here. We do
a Fox Sports rad now, you know me, I'm all in.
So I already have my I'm leaving it a secret,
but I already have my costume for this year. I
already found the guy, found the outfit, found everything. I'm like, Okay,
that is gonna that's gonna make them go. That's gonna
be more funnier than the Fred Flintstone I walked in
with last year. I'm gonna top that and win it
(02:43):
this year.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Well, talking about winning it, this year, Jason Tatum in
the Boston Celtics won a title. Yeah, this the most
recent NBA champion, and you know it's been the topic
because of the bite Jason Tatum Jalon Brown just split
them up. Who's a better player? Is he elite? Right now?
Sason Tatum says, those conversations are over with he goes
(03:04):
just being the topic quote, just being the topic of
discussion of so many debates or whatever it is. Can
he lead a team? Is he a top five player?
There's still a lot of things. I guess they can debate,
but now I've done something they can't debate. I've won
a championship. Having that under my belt is obviously conversations
to be had or whatever I want to say. But
they always got to refer to me as an NBA champion.
(03:25):
And then he dropped the mic and walked away. I
added that last part. The question is you know the
debate Jason Tatum says, of course, his leads all the
debate shows today because he says he's no longer worthy
of debate, So of course, let every show. But the
question is with this title, VJ, you are at times
(03:46):
have been hard on Tatum. Is the debate over his
elite status done? No?
Speaker 2 (03:54):
The debate's night over. One ring doesn't do that. What
the one ring does do is it backs off the can.
He is he that guy that that that proverbial? Of
course we always throw out there. Is he a championship player?
Is he that guy? The answer is yes, he is
that guy. But as far as still debating whether you
are elite. He had a great closeout game. But Jason
(04:18):
Tatum did not shoot well. He shot below thirty percent
from the three. In the finals, he shot below forty
percent from the field. He did not shoot well. He
did the other things that a player needs to do
when you're great to help your team win the most.
The easiest example I always throw at people. People love
to bring up Kobe Bryant's Game seven against the Celtics
six for twenty four or something like that. Right, but
(04:40):
he has sixteen rebounds, and I believe seven or eight
of them were offensive, which gave his team additional possessions
which Ronald Tess hits a three on a huge three.
Derek Fisher hits a three, huge three on one of
those possessions.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Oh goodness, Grace is my phone? Sorry about that, but
there is there is I'm not used to being there
this time of day.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, but there is still debating
my opinion whether he is a you know, the elite guy,
because you gotta go win multiple championships. You and I
were talking about this last week that Boston now has
to go repeat one ring doesn't get it done. You
got people questioned in Denver, you got people questioning the Bucks.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Hey, listen, the Bucks. That's that's three four years ago, right, You.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Gotta go win it again or it just kind of
feels like all the injuries in the East, which you
neither one of us have used as an excuse. You
still gotta go beat who's on the court. You can't
help guys are taking care of themselves, or guys get
hurt of things you can't help that.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
You still got to go killing. That was when they
wiped the floor with the Dallas.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
With the Dallas maverage, right, And I thought Dallas, to
be honest with you, I thought Dallas poured everything they
had into the Western Conference run, and by the time
they got to the finals, Lucas dragging his body to
the finish line. Years I'm glad his country didn't make
the lips because I thought he should have shot out
you're young.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
You need to heal.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
The Olympics are here in four years in USA. You
can stay here when the season is over and play it.
You'll get a chance to play in the Olympics again.
This isn't gonna be Luca's only chance to represent his country.
But with Jason Tatum, now you gotta go do it again.
You gotta go do it again or it's gonna look
like just that one year and people can point to
games one, two, Games three, and four. People could point
to those games say, hey, he didn't shoot well, he
(06:24):
didn't play well. He had a great close out game,
but that's what you want. But at the end of
the day, he is right. He does have a championship,
he does have a ring, So that argument goes. One
ring does make the argument go, but multiple rings is
what puts you in the elite class. Think about why
Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain don't get the love that
they should really get when we start putting together these
(06:46):
stupid ass lists that we love to put together in
sports talk, TV and radio. Why though they both have
what one ring, they have their champions but they only
have one ring. Multiple rings will then really select Jalen
Brown and Jason Tatum, especially Tatum because Brown is such
a quiet guy. Tatum seems to be the front, you know,
(07:07):
like the front guy and Jason and Jaylen Brown is
the drummer and Jason Tatum's is the lead singer.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Right, they're both great in the band. You need them both.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But everybody who sees everybody up front first, but who
makes everything go to beat the baseline, to beat the drums.
So the debate's not over for e lead status. But
I do agree with him as far as championship and winner.
He is a winner now. He is a champion now.
You can't take that from him. He is one hundred
percent correct about that part.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Jason Tatum is absolutely elite. Like when you look out
for now we'll talk about greatest of all time level.
That's where I get into the counting championships because then
you're you're quite literally splitting hairs, right like you're debating
some of the best to ever do it. It's Jayson
Tatum in that category. Yet, No, he'll have to win
(07:53):
multiple to be considered one of the greatest of all times.
But for this eras NBA, yeah, yeah, he's definitely elite.
And that NBA Finals MVP that he didn't win. I
didn't have a problem with it going to Jalen Brown.
But also it does look kind of funny when he
leads the team in points, rebounds, and assists for the
entire postseason and doesn't get the MVP. Only six people
(08:13):
ever did that before. And tell me if these names
interest you, Jokic, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Akim Olijuan, Larry Bird.
I think they play a little hoop. What I'm saying
that I'm just a little I think they ball a
little bit. I interest you in that, like you know
what I'm saying. And then when you look at his numbers,
when you compare them to other young players, right and
all time greats and then players in his era. I mean,
(08:37):
he's made the playoffs all seven years of his career,
five time All Star, three time All NBA First Team
at all this before twenty six.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Five conference finals from right, like four or five conference
finals in two NBA finals.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Well see they made six of the last eight, and
then they made the conference finals the year before Tatum
got there.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
So that's six conference final So six conference finals, two finals.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
One chance. She's first in playoff points scored for people
under twenty six past Kobe Bryant, and that one fourth
in playoff wins, fourth to playoff wins for a guy
that was like historically was like, oh, he can't get
over the hump. He's like, well, he was certainly a
hell of a lot of playoff games before not getting
over the hump, you know what I mean. And then
(09:20):
when you look at the other guys around him, like
in his age group, Luka Doncic, you know, around the
same age Anthony ever was a little bit younger, but
still in that same group, Tyre's Halliburton, Zion Williamson, Like,
I'm taking Tatum over just about all of those guys
save maybe Luca Luca, except except for Luca. You can, Yeah,
I'm with you on that. I'll take Tatum, and Tatum
(09:40):
plays both sides.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Yeah, well, I'll take Tatum over all those guys, especially
Zion and Haliburt.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Haliburton and me has not arrived yet.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
He's a really good player, but I don't think he's
I don't think he's arrived yet. I gotta see what
happens next year once again, when the East is healthier.
Philly just pushed all their chips in. They're going for
it right now. So Indiana, I don't know if you're
getting back to the conference finals. I really the Nick
Obaca's got better, boss is the defended champions.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
The Sixers have pushed all that, they put all their
money down at the table. They've pushed every chip they've
had to the middle of the table. They're going for
it right now. They want the sisters gotta win it this,
they gotta they gotta get to the final. The whole
East feels like the East is sweet.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
That's why, Yeah, exactly, everything's don't get it now or
five teams in the East all feel like they have
a shot to win a championship. Let's go get it.
That's why they're making the move that they are now.
But the thing about Tatum when he's he's absolutely right
about the championship because it put you in a different category.
Remember in high school when you were like you first
got your driver's license. Remember the first person to get
(10:42):
a car in my family or no, no, no, in your class,
in my class, like class, the first few people that
got car. Scott Peters, you know what I'm saying. Scott Peters,
the man, he was. No, he was. He was the man.
He was whether he whatever he was driving. Yeah, that
thing mat you may had to pump the break three times,
roll the window down and then it would start. He
had waiters, didn't have the call mom for a ride. No,
(11:04):
he was the man.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
He had an old white Nissan CenTra. If you remember
that car. He had a two door. Remember back in
the day. He used to take the big speakers and
put him in the trunk. He had two twelves in
his trunk. And he had a detachable He's the first
one with a detachable face from the stereo. Scott Dad
was a ring He had a little money, but Scott
got Scott got his.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Car for all of our first Hey, Scott, can we
go to the mall? You got five hours? Oh you don't,
all right, go ask your mama, right. John Barkley got
to ask his mother for a ride to the wall. You
know what I'm saying. There's a ton of great NBA
players who never touched the ring, right, who never sniffed
it right, the one chance they got there got blown
(11:42):
out the water. Jason Tatum for his credit with two
finals appearances and got one and one. You know, so
after that, like you, I said all typ about Michigan football. Hey,
the ring still shines. That ring still shine beautifully, nice
and bright, and there's a whole lot of people that
wishes that he was in this and at twenty six,
he's got a shot if he continues on an upper
(12:04):
trajectory to be one of the quote unquote greatest of
all time, like in that top echelon group based off
if he continues what he's doing. Now, let me think
about it. If he has another six years like he
had the last six years of his career, that would
be what six NBA First teams, ten time All Star right, like,
maybe a couple more championships or at least a couple five.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
That'd be five to five Eastern Conference Finals. That'd be
four more maybe be four more finals appearances.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Yeah, I'm saying, like you do it right, I'll be
exact over and of course doesn't work like that, but
you know, when you're projecting outward Jason Tatum, I mean
in it, I mean he was all He's all NBA
this year, Yeah, right, in a year that we poo
pulled the Celtics from most of the year. You know,
it's the only people that who believed in Boston lived
(12:51):
in Boston. Yeah. Well, my thing is I knew they
were good.
Speaker 2 (12:55):
I just Boston was that team for me, and I
said at the last two or three years, they have
to it for me to believe that they can win it,
because they keep getting to the Eastern Conference finals and
then you get to the finals.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
You're up to one on Stephan the Warriors. They're up
to one.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
They go in, they score forty points in the fourth
quarter of Game two that they hit ten three pointers
that quarter, and they still Game two from Golden State.
Then go home and grab Game three. They go up
to to one and it's like whoa, Okay, here we go,
and then they lose three in a row and gets
get knocked out in six. Steph just goes ballistic and
(13:28):
he won. You could tell Steph wanted it bad. But
if he had finished his career with no ring, stocked
them alone. Barkley Ewen Miller are the first guys that
come to my mind.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
Sure, I would probably put him with Miller in Ewing
if he'd have finished with no ring. But Barkley, I'm
old enough.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
To use my first NBA player star I've ever saw,
my first NBA game was a Washington Bullets and seventy
six er game and the old landover Landover Arena in Maryland.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So I said you more than saying. The first guy
in the high school at class had a Nissan Barkley.
He was just a monster. Everybody knows.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
He was the second best player on the original Dream
Team and then stocked in him alone, stocked him is
kind of by himself, leads all time and assist and
stills and then Malone was a you know, up there
and scoring top three, top two, number two score for
a while before he started getting past.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
So if he had finished with no ring, he might
could fit in that class.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
But guess what, he doesn't have to worry about trying
to fit in that class because he's got the.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Ring, absolutely fact. And again, shine it, baby, because that
thing still shines.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
They repeat. I know, certainly, I know, we don't care.
Right now, We're going to the football season.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
We'll see, we'll see, right see. I think if you
ask a question, do they have a shot to win?
Three or one? I lean closer to one, but they
should be the favorites this year. Oh wow, three or one?
You lean? H okay, I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
And I'm just to me, it's I'm interesting to see
if Philly could stay on the Philly can stay on
the floor, it could be interesting.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Speaking of Philly, one NBA star said he felt disrespected
by the front office. We'll get to that coming up next.

going somewhere, but yeah, now Bridge Cofino, those are my guys.
They have fun.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Man Danny G two shout out to my homie man. Well,
uh mister podcast p had something to say after he
did his uh pop what do you think of?
Speaker 3 (16:30):
First?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
What do you think of him doing his podcast in
the Jersey today? Paul George who I'm talking about?
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Well, because it was it was showing it was the
USA Jersey or the Clipper Joe. He didn't know he
did it in his Philadelphia jersey. I mean, I'm sorry,
it's Philly jersey. O. Yeah, it's Philly jersey number eight though, right,
and he said he's wearing eight for coal. I got
no beef with it. I'm sorry, are you asking? That's
my answer? But I mean when I found out that
was the reason.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
But you could wear eight for Kobe Bryant to not
have to wear your uniform to work, No man, rock
that rock mom book. Do you wear mom Bo? You
got is wear your other uniform at your other job, Like,
I don't know if you have a fart time job.
I'm curious. But Paul George said that he felt disrespected
by this contract offer.
Speaker 5 (17:10):
Let's hear what Paul George had to say about it.
Now we're going to negotiations. Now they now they bring
it to three years one point fifty. All right, that's cool.
It sucks that it had to get to this point
like that. They couldn't we couldn't get this figured out
a lot sooner. But now we at the end of
the year, three years one fifty. So I'm like, all right,
like now we're in We're in the ballpark, you know
(17:31):
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Now we can have conversation here.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
I presented the three one fifty no trade because in
the meeting, they're like, you know, we want.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
You here long term, we want to you know, when you're.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Retired, we want you to be a Clippers for a lifetime,
like all of this stuff. So I'm like, cool, give
me the three years, one fifty no trade, then like
no trade clad, then I now like I'm taking less,
but least I know I'm here, like I'm committed to y'all.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Like they didn't want to hear the no trade wow.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
So then now I'm like, all right, well, then it
only makes sense for me to do four years to twelve, right, like,
at least pay me my money. If y'all gonna trade me,
then y'all gonna trade me. But at least, like now
I'm not in a situation where I could have got
more had I just gone to free agency.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Then take this deal and then y'all could just shit
me wherever I want.
Speaker 5 (18:18):
And then now I'm on this deal that I didn't want,
so they didn't want to do that. So now I
was like, now like, now I'm open to entertaining what's
out there.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
So that's Paul George on his podcast podcast p Do
You Think? And he said earlier that they'd offered him
what was it, I think two for sixty, which I
think was probably an extension onto his current deal as
opposed to so it's not just a flat thirty million
dollar rate. But he said, all this negotiation from the
Clippers made. It'm feel disrespected now by the Clippers need Jay.
(18:52):
You know, first of all, let me attack it this way.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Why is it that when players don't get the contract
that they want, the word disrespect all always comes up.
Let me just read you this real quick that I
just pulled up. In twenty nineteen, twenty eighteen, Paul George
from OKAC got paid thirty million. The following year thirty
three million, thirty five million, thirty nine million, forty two million,
(19:15):
forty five million. That's been what you've made every single
year since twenty and eighteen. Brother, nobody's disrespecting you. They're
paying you for the market and what you are today.
I like Paul George. I was covering the Clippers the
last month of the season in the playoff series. Got
a chance to talk to him. Very cordial, gentlemen, very
(19:35):
open to your questions, very elaborate with his answer. So
it gives you something good to go video or right
or whatever for the reporters. Good dude for everything that
I've always heard about them, But this this idea that
they disrespected. You know, we don't have a lot of
wiggle room. We paid Kawhi, we can't get anywhere with
what we got. You can't overpay. You can't pay Ferrari
(19:57):
prices for a Mercedes Benz Ben's and Benz is a
great car. But it's not a Rari. It's not a Bogatti.
It's not a Lambo. It's not a Lambo, it's not
a Lamborghini. It's none of those cars. It's not an
Austin Martin, you know what I'm saying. It's not a Maserati.
It's none of those. He's a Benz at this point.
So you can't be trying to get Ferrari money or
(20:17):
or or or Porsche money when you when you're giving
out Ben's production and Benz is still good, but they
can't overpay you right now when they're still trying to
figure out how to even make this thing work, and
they brought back ty Lou to try to make this
thing work. It, I mean, it just might have done
well if you guys could have met somewhere in the
middle to second part. I don't like the I don't
(20:39):
like the couch talk. I see a lot with athletes nowadays.
You didn't even have to come out and say this
to me. This was just there was no point in
him saying this and bringing this up. You're had a
new team, go about your biz, have fun, buddy, and
you know it's been well. There's no bad talk from them.
There's no bad talk from anybody here, no former players.
Go go to Philly and do your been great, thanks
(21:00):
for your service. Cool to come out and do this
just kind of feels like he's in his feelings a
little bit, and that disrupts me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Marty, Well, you know, you gotta deliver for the podcast audience.
You know that's the question I would have had if
I'm the Clippers. How much you make it on this podcast?
Why you need a million from us? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:17):
I mean clearly, you know you got two jobs anyway.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Like I said, I just read off the numbers. Bro,
You've made a ton of money, a ton of it
and if you want to really win a championship now
I'm not Now I can't front him going to Philly.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
I think gives him a much better chance to get
to an NBA Finals than staying here with the Clippers.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
The West is loaded. Well here's I mean. The reality
of the situation is, like, sure, you feel disrespected because
they didn't offer you the money that you thought you
were worth but ultimately they didn't want you anymore. So
if you want to feel disrespected, it would be deeper
than that. To me, it's deeper than rap. They said,
we're ready to move on from you. We'll sign Kawhi,
(22:01):
We'll signed James Harden. They didn't want you.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That surprised me that they picked essentially hardened over him.
Would you have done that?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Well? No one. Also would have handled these negotiations differently
and quite honestly, if I knew that this was the
way that things were going, I would have traded Paul George.
Oh okay last year, Yeah, because you gett nothing for him.
Now you get nothing for him, and you're almost.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Forced to sign Harden. Now I feel you spend the
money on somebody. Yeah, you do, you do.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
But the idea that the Clippers did this is stay
under the second apron. This deal wouldn't have put them
over the second apron. The this was a Clippers saying,
this was Steve Balmer and Tyleru saying, this team is done.
We are not winning with this team currently constructed, but
we're not gonna tear it all down right now. We
(22:49):
gotta we gotta renovate. Yeah, there's some good bones here,
but we gotta renovate that catcher. Looks like it's from
the seventies that they have to change it up. That's
what they So, Paul George Field disrespect that. I get that,
but like it's not disrespectful to not give you a
no trade clause. There's only two people in the NBA
with no trade clauses Lebron, Bradley Bial Bill's got a
(23:11):
no trade clause. It was questionable when it happened, and
Bill's got a no trade clause. Lebron and Bradley bildlayers
with no trade clauses. Brevi the Clippers said, look, I
am not signing up for the business of three stars
over thirty three years old. Yeah, that's really what it
boiled down to. And just got knocked out in the
(23:32):
first round. That's really what we honestly got knocked out
in the first round. But you know what, good for you,
Paul George, because you got it backed anyway. Yeah. Now,
now if you do get traded now, I know people
made the allusion to our you know, the similarities to
well Blake Griffin took under and then got traded to
Detroit six months later. Well, now if you do get traded,
Paul George, congratulations, you got as much money as you
(23:54):
possibly could get wherever you're playing in the NBA. Now,
he'll be with Philly this year, Philly, I feel you speaking.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Yeah, he won't. He's he's solidified in Philly. That's another
part of why why do this? Why say this? Like
where's the win? You got your money, you got to
pay the coin based draft packing sponsorship all and you're
on and you're on a better team like that. They
Philly got much better. The Clippers got worse by losing you.
(24:24):
I would just sit back and just kind of smile
on myself. I would have said all them, all the
politically correct and you know what, had a great time there,
negotiations and negotiations. I've got nothing bad to say about.
He's going like bullet boy. He did so and they
gave me this, and then I said this, and then
my agent said this, and then they said like that that.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That that pillow talk athletes are doing right now there
that just come on, we were men, we're man. You
deal with it and even move on.
Speaker 3 (24:52):
Man.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Paul George has the podcast audience to feed, so he's
got to drop the store.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Yeah, they could have talked about it. He could have
sat there talked about how righted Philly is and playing
with embiid and playing with with Maxi, and and uh,
you know, the Philadelphia. He could have talked about Gyros
cheese steaks, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the Rocky Statue. He
could have talked about a whole bunch of stuff. I
just thought, and like, once again, I like Paul George.
I just think this was a bad It was a
bad look. Questioning that I think everybody has right now
(25:19):
is do they move the studios to Philly or.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
Does he zoom in to the studio that currently exists
with this Two co hosts who I'm not God forbid me.
They don't. Their name's not on the show, so I
don't know who they are. No, all due respect, I
don't watch the podcast. No. No. I watched the first
four minutes of it that I've ever watched today when
I was trying to figure out why you felt disrespected
and we got down to the bottom of it.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Now we have to update this. Yes, Long Crown was
doing it, but I got distracted by the soccer call
good thing. Bursa's here to text it to me. We
got thirty four first time Major League Baseball All Stars here,
as Jordan Westburg and Hunter Green were added as injury
replacements to the Midsummer Classic. BJ Is this a good thing, man,
(26:19):
a bad thing or not a thing at all?
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Man, I'm really split, but I don't want to give
a soft answer.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Make your mind. Yeah, I don't want to give a
soft answer.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I think this could be a good thing, but I
think it's a bad thing for the current league that
we have right now. A few weeks ago, we had
the Margay Morris on our show, and I actually them.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I felt like baseball base I feel like baseball.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Is missing something this year. Fourteen teams under five hundred,
A lot of the big name guys just aren't producing.
And then some of the teams that are good, they
got like two like the Yankees, right, they got two
guys and an other than that, that lineup is just futuring.
You got two guys just kind of really carrying you,
and that's how you in with all these first time
All Stars. But with the changes, and you and I
(27:05):
taught baseball on our show a lot. With the changes
over the last two years, we both had said in
a minute, I started watching baseball more. You're deep in
at already being with mlbbro dot com and loving the
sport and covering the sport. Those changes did bring people
back more and it did bring some excitement to the
game because oh, let's see this pitch clock. Oh you
can only you can only throw back to first base
how many times? Oh? So then on the when you're
(27:26):
out of times, then the runner can go, okay, this
is okay. Now we're talking. Now we got something going.
And now it feels like, now that that's over, we're
back to honestly America kind of being who hum about
baseball And this could be the chance to actually get
eyes back to the to the TV set for the stars.
(27:46):
We know, the big dogs, the big horses, the big
dogs that run on the porch. We can get back
to those. But you got thirty four new All Stars,
and most fans, especially the casual fans, they aren't gonna
know who none of these guys are I'm interesting to
see what the ratings look like. I know yesterday was
a big thing about who should be the starting pitcher
(28:07):
from the NL the kid from the Pirates Out of You, Yeah, exactly,
the kid from the Pirates out of You at an LSU,
which which I agree with people saying, no start that kid.
There's other two pictures that we know have more wins,
but he has a lower EER than both those guys do.
And don't you want to see the new hot young
sensation throw against air judge, throw again, throw against like
the top guys of the al because by the second
(28:29):
or third in of those guys are gonna be out
of the lineup, and now you're gonna get this new
guy in and he's gonna be throwing to another new
guy that most people aren't gonna know who they are.
I just like I said, it could be a good
thing for the future, but I think today currently as
we sit, it's not good for the game. I don't think.
I don't I don't think it'll be good for the
ratings the home run derby. I'm excited to see what
the ratings look like, but I don't think they're gonna
(28:50):
be good.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
I think it is a good thing. I think it
is a good thing if nothing else, because you're talking
about all these new fans that came to the game,
right yeah, after the rules shade, and I think they're
still here. I don't think that baseball has just lost
the momentum that it did just from two three years ago.
I don't think it's died off. I just feel it
feels like it's tapered a little bit. Though you've been
watching too much Copo America. That's the problem. So the
(29:12):
reality is, though, I think when you see these new guys,
like if the All Star Games to me are games
for the casual fan, like games that you know, if
you're don't watch a team every day, maybe you watch
the All Star Game. Gives you exposure to a whole
new set of people. Thirty four new All Stars gives
you exposure to a whole new set of people. Gives
guys like Bobby Witt Junior, for example, who's been crushing
(29:35):
it in Kansas City, the opportunity to do it on
the big stage. And it reminds me of who when
Julio Rodriguez kind of hit the scene first, right, he
was kind of an unknown guy then had a big
moment and now all of a sudden, everybody knows who
he is. Right for the Seattle Mariners. I think you
have that opportunity a few times now, especially with Paul Skins.
This is Coveno and Richard. We would be remiss to
(29:56):
mention that's Livy Dunn's boyfriend, right How to make sure
we that out?
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, yeah, pop culture got to get the pop coach
and that's definitely I could see a clip right now,
Steve Levi Doo's boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
I'm slightly vat though. Anyway. I think it's a good
thing for baseball, get some new blood in there, and
then excite some of the new fans that were generated
by some of these rules changes, because you're right, the
games are now a more standard length, even though there's
still not time on it. It's not like soccer where
they just arbitrarily decide how much time we're going to
(30:29):
add at the end the same length every pitch. You know,
there's still three outs in an inning and all of that.
But I think it's a good thing for baseball, and
I'm excited to see how the new All Stars go
out there and perform, because I think when you have
moments like that. All Star games and postseasons are where
stars are born in sports. So this gives an opportunity
(30:51):
for baseball to develop a whole new era of stars
and potentially strengthen the game that much more. If you
look at the National League pitchers, they have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
eleven eleven pitchers for the National League. Their first All
Star is that including Hunter Green? Uh No, make it?
(31:14):
Then make it twelve? And well glass now right?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
We just heard Glass now is gonna be on a
on the dal They rest in glass now, so glass
now will be out. So it's still it's either eleven
or twelve either or that is a lot of new arms.
Uh in an All Star game. I tell you what
can help this. If we get a barn burner, we
get an eight nine game, we get an eleven seven game.
If we get three to one, this is chuck. That's
(31:37):
not gonna be good. Not with a bunch of new faces.
You don't want to see a bunch of groundouts and
a bunch of pop ups. If you're new, you're here,
you're supposed to be the next coming. This is your
first All Star, all right, baby? I gotta see what's up.
You gotta come out and do something, or trust me, Mark,
it's just gonna go.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's gonna go.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
If this is a three to one game, Bro, this
is that's not that's not gonna be. That's not gonna
be the business. But like I said, we get a bar,
we get about three home run, maybe three four home runs,
we get some nice hard hits, we get a double,
maybe somebody gets a triple.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Still get a couple of stolen bases.
Speaker 2 (32:08):
Then you'll, I think, then you could say, hey, you
see all those new All Stars. He that was one
of the better All Star games I've watched in the
last such and such years.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
If you get that, then I'll go, Okay, now we're working.
This thing's two to one.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
I mean ouch, and that that's not what you want
from an All Star game. That's like an NBA Alls Game,
All Star game that's two hundred to two to one
eighty seven. Just In VJ hates pitching duels. I don't
want pitching dudes in All Star games. I want to
see the big arm though, go against the big bat
and if you strike them out, strike them out. But
I want three straight fast balls. Do you guys, remember
(32:46):
Barry Bonds versus the big Unit Randy Johnson in the
All Star Game. He told them I'm giving He told him,
I'm giving you three straight fast balls, and he gave
them three straight.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Fit if you can hit it, baby, that's what I
need to see. So VJ hates pitching duels, but sliders please.
We'll see if he likes this new show that's coming
out soon. I love this behind the scenes stuff. I
can't get enough of it. What does VJ think? Martin

Martin Weiss and VJ Husky filling in for Cavino and
Rich Here on Fox Sports Radio, coming to you live
from the tire IRAQ dot com studios. VJA, what up
you said the other day? You proclaimed it last week?
It's football Sea, it is football season. We're getting in
the vibe. You have a little hard knocks with the Giants.
(33:45):
Do you really think somebody's gonna pay? Say Kwon Barkley
spoiler alert, Yes, yes it happened.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
But's gonna score four touchdowns against the against the Giants
the year when the Eagles watch.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
We have hearing Receiver, the part two of Quarterback. Yeah,
I am so excited to go home and watch this. Yes,
I cannot wait. Yes, to go home and watch this
with Deebo George Kittles tight end. What are we doing?
Justin Jefferson, I'm a Russet brown and I've seen Devanta
Adams on just about every TV show available today as
(34:19):
he was doing some promo for it. I can't wait. Yes, listen,
can you can? You know how electric the first complaint
of a quarterback is gonna be like, It's gonna be
like Justin Jefferson the Week thirteen, like Nick Bullin's again. Yeah,
kidding me.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
I'm excited for this too, man. This is kind of
gets your snacks. This is gets your snacks. Right now,
I'll put my kids to bed, and this is when
Daddy gets his alone time at night. The house is quiet,
My daughter Journey, my son Cameron Davey into bed sleep.
This is when I get my snacks. And I'm sitting now.
I'm super super excited for it. As I am all
in on this, and I hope they keep it going,
(34:58):
and I hope people don't back out.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Players kill me.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Sometimes these days, you guys want to tweet, and you
want to do podcasts, and you want to be at
the White Party, All White Holiday, July fourth Party and
all you want to be seen. But then when you
get approached about something that can actually help grow the game,
grow more interest, Right, how can you be more interested
in the NFL. It's the number one thing going in
the world in sports. But trust me, you could just
(35:22):
you could keep giving us more. I'll take football seven
days a week. I don't play. It ain't my body.
I might be insensitive saying that, but it ain't. It
ain't my body. You'll get paid millions of dollars to play.
They said you got player to Tuesday, get your ass
there and play. I'm gonna sit home with it's sandwich
you watch. But I'm super excited for this. I hope
they didn't edit out. You know, because receivers are divas
(35:42):
and receivers talk a lot.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
Receivers are different. It was different from quarterback. Quarterback. Think
about it.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
We got Marcus Mariota who was trying to resurrect his career.
So he's not gonna say anything like outlanders. Right, you
got Kirk Cousins, mister, family man, mister, mister. Three of
them were family men, mister. But he was sick.
Speaker 1 (35:59):
They ran into trying to find new quarterback. Yeah. He
was been the one to find people who are like
on the prow.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
Yeah, I wanted to and all those guys said no,
all these single young quarterbacks. Is like, nah, I'm good,
I'm still wild, and so I don't need I don't
need y'all to see that.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
But I think this is good for football.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
And before the show started, uh, we were talking about, hey,
give us, give us a rush cover.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
You know what rush cover is. Rush covers is defensive
linemen and Russians and defensive backs.
Speaker 2 (36:28):
Give us that one. Next, give us that one. Next,
I'll take offensive lineman. I'll take offenses because it would
be interesting to see how much food they have to
consume for breakfast.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I would watch kicker, yeah, kick, I'll watch yeah, yeah,
I watch it. All The Giants front office is illuminating.
It's amazing to think that I was at the Senior Bowlamobile.
To think that that's where the Brian Burns trade was
born just on the sideline there. It's like two first,
what are you talking about? Enough? I'm now on.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I'm out on the after season Hard Knocks only because
I think, Yeah, I think those conversations should stay private,
because I think that's when it gets to realists.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
I do. I think that's when front office people are
talking to realists like, no more flip flamman fluff, no cameras,
no phones, We're not paying this guy. You think somebody
else is gonna die that?
Speaker 2 (37:21):
And you and when you start to let that stuff out,
I think I think gets treading on thin ice with that.
I think something can, something bad's gonna happen out of that.
They should take that away and they leave everything else alone.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Show me because I want to. I want to hear
Joe Shane say, we're paying forty million dollars. You better
do something like temmy, why did you do that? Who
made you paying forty million dollars? Man? You liking it?
To the player? Response? You like it? Now to a
player says something you said, you'll watch them play on Tuesday.
I'll watch that all the time. Coming up next with
Team USA ins and outs, Martin Wis's VJ. Husky and
