Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. What Up America. Doug
Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio. Comment to you from beautiful sunny,
Little cool look Crisp Crisp Southern California. I hope you're
having a spectacular day. Chris bruss artill join us NBA
Insider from Fox Sports jan You also here on the

(00:22):
weekends on Fox Sports Radio. He'll be our guest. I've
coming in fifteen minutes. We'll ask him about what Mark
Cuban let the world in on a not so well
kept secret that he has talked about time and again.
He once again is talking about tanking. He said this
is the last year they are going to tank, but
they are tanking in Dallas, while was the league going
to react? And we'll get you ready for the second
half of the NBA season with Bruce Sard. I have

(00:45):
my thoughts on on Louisville's basketball program getting put on
probation and having a banner take come down from the
two thousand thirteen National Championship. Um Austin Dillon, the Daytona
five hundred winner from Sunday, will join us next hour.
Daniel Jeremile join us in the third hour of the show,
we'll ask him about the topic that I want to

(01:06):
start with. That's Lamar Jackson. So I'm always I always
laugh at this stuff. People are questioning Bill Pollian because
he said that Lamar Jackson he doesn't view as a
top caliber starting quarterback prospect in the upcoming draft because

(01:29):
and music, If if I get this wrong, feel free
to correct me. He is short, a little slight, and
not as accurate um as some of the other prospects.
Right that that's basically the gist of what he's saying.
And so, um, I think this is funny. It's one

(01:49):
thing for me to say he's short, slight, and not
as accurate. It's it's one thing for Colin Cowhert to
say he's short. He's like and And it's important to
note that even scouts and general managers and even the
best general managers of all time will make mistakes and
will think somebody like that Tom Brady. We can say

(02:11):
what we want about Tom Brady, but every team in
the league, include the New England Patriots, had five rounds
to draft him. So we can say that the Patriots
are geniuses because they found Tom Brady, but they passed
on him five other times in the exact same draft.
Um so people do miss on things, and so I'm
not saying that everything Bill Pollyan says, every evaluation he

(02:34):
has is accurate. But we do know who Bill Pollyan
is correct, right, Like, Hey, remember when the Buffalo Bills
went to four straight Super Bowls? Who is their general
manager in the Indianapoplis Colts and how they were, you know,
always competitive with Peyton Manning and boy they had uh

(02:56):
you know so many Edgren, James, Reggie Wayne. Uh yeah,
I mean like you named the star Bob Sanders, you
named the star player that they have in Indianapolis, Like
who is there? Germans? Like Bill Polian, Like it's Bill
freaking Pollian. So it's one thing for said radio host
to say, like, man, he's a fifties, fifty six percent

(03:18):
completion guy in college. Every time he faces an elite
level defense, he looks like a guy who it's a
shot where he throws close to a guy. He does
look smaller than listed at six ft three, which is
probably going to come out in the combine. He is
fairly slightly built, a lot like Teddy Bridgewater, whose knee
did just blow into a million pieces h two years ago.

(03:41):
It is does feel like a problem. He is a
guy that people are going to consider having him switch positions,
and we make it about a million different things other
than what it should be. Here is one of the
best evaluators of football talent in the history of the sport,
giving you his honest evaluation, and you make it about
I don't know what, well, you're not sure. How do

(04:02):
you know that he's accurate? It's that how do you
know that he actually has numbers in data to support him.
You ask any of these NFL guys and they'll tell
you that accuracy might be the most important aspect of
uh of the NFL, of playing quarterback in the nash

(04:23):
Football League. Sure, you've gotta be able to read a defense.
You have to have some intangible qualities in terms of
leadership as well. And Lamar Jackson is a great, not good,
great athlete. But like, I don't really understand how all
of a sudden you have these Twitter tough guys talking
about Lamar Jackson like he's some refined prospect I told
you when he came out, Like, I don't understand why

(04:44):
he's coming out. He still needs time to work and
become more accurate. So forgive me if just because he
won a bunch of college awards and you think that
Bill Pollian's lost his mind, I sit there and go like,
I don't know. Bill Pollion probably evaluated Jim Kelly, probably
evaluated Peyton Manning. He's probably evaluated so many stars and

(05:06):
maybe he misses on this one. But I just I
failed to see where the convert where no one I
know in football thinks Lamar Jackson is an elite level prospect. Now,
could he eventually be a refined quarterback? Maybe? Maybe he's
more athletic than Russell Wilson. He does have a strong arm,

(05:29):
incredible escapability. He does look slight, does look, but does
that matter as much down in the NFL, where you
can't hit guys, you can't touch guys. And if he
learned to slide, you know, we talked about this a
little bit last week when I was on TV. Is
that one of the things that Cam newton trump trouble
he has when sliding is he's so damn big. You know,
he's six ft six, six ft seven. It's hard for
him to get down to slide. That's just not a

(05:49):
natural thing for a man that big. It was like, Okay,
he's gonna prove Bill Polly and wrong. I think if
Lamar Jackson is a star in the NFL, he's probably
Gonnamprove thirty two teams wrong because though somebody is going
to draft him in the third, fourth, heck, maybe even
fifth round, whoever drafts him, they will have passed on
him a couple of times before they ever draft him.

(06:12):
And that's the whole. We believed in him when no
one else believed in him. We believed him slightly more.
Is the proper is the proper way of putting together
the sentence, right, don't give me this. We believed in
when everybody else did. Because if he did, and he's
a quarterback, there's a quarterback, then you take him right away.

(06:32):
Lamar Jackson completed fifty percent of his passing. And while
you may think, hey, look man, it's college, he's got
to throw guys open, he could be he's a smaller,
more quicker cam Newton. Cam Newton, who struggles to complete
sixty of his passes in the pros, completed sixty four
percent of his passes. And at at at Auburn, Robert Griffins,

(07:00):
and I know that Robert Griffin and Cam Newton a
lot of bubble screens. Have you seen Lamar Jackson? Yes,
he throws the ball deep downfield and then he throws
a lot of screens. That's college football. Even Vince Young
wildly inaccurate. Geno Smith, who are the guys have struggled?
Christian Hackenburg fifty six point one? When you're inaccurate that

(07:23):
that that's the hardest thing to fix. You know, they
can tighten up your your motion, they can. You can't.
You can't fix feet, you can't. It's hard to fix accuracy.
So I just but more than anything, this is not
radio host guy. This is not even football numbers guy.
This is Bill freaking Polly and going I don't see it.

(07:47):
I don't see it. And clearly he's not the thrower
that other guys are. The accuracy just isn't there. He's
short and a little bit slight. That's his evaluation. My
guests would be like, well, no, he's six ft three.
Now he's list at six ft three, how tall is he?
In reality? We all want him to be. You know,
I don't know what you want to be. You wanna

(08:08):
be Cam Newton accommodation, Cam Newton and Russell Wilson. Russell
Wilson was a great thrower in college. He only completed
sixty nine percent his passes at nc State in Wisconsin,
but he threw for when he played Wisconsin six when
he's at nc State, great thrower of the football. I mean, look,
I watched I watched Trey Young play last night in

(08:30):
college basketball, and I like Trey Young. I know his dad.
I like the kid. I'd like the kid more than
anybody else's like the kid. But what happens is he
puts up huge numbers to start the year and everybody
completely loses their mind. ESPN has already handed them the
Player of the Year trophy. His team's lost nine in
their last eleven games. He's a completely ineffective player the

(08:54):
defensive end, which is half of the game, and his
black of shot selection, his high turnover numbers aren't helping
the team, even though his scoring is what's carried the team.
And people want so badly to identify the next Steph
Curry before he becomes Steph Curry that they're willing to

(09:17):
close their eyes and go like, I don't care about
your value. How many players you've watched I have my
own opinion, and I can back it up with numbers
in college success. Okay, I mean hell if you even
if you go back and look at at Lamar Jackson's
Heisman Trophy year, it's a lot less impressive the more

(09:41):
you look at it. He put up huge numbers against
terrible Charlotte and Syracuse and really a one double a
program in Marshall. You put up numbers against bad teams.
And then yeah, he demolished Florida State with his legs,
with his arm. That was it was a blowout game.
But you take those games off. You look at the

(10:01):
end of the season when you played against legit defenses,
and he was inaccurately through interceptions. He wasn't a competent thrower.
And he's playing for one of the best offensive coaches
in college football in the last twenty five years, and
by Petrino, and by Petrino's personal life might be a mess,
he might kind of be a jerk to people, but
he's a great offensive coach. So if you take all

(10:25):
that into consideration, and then you say, hey, Bill Pollian
has forgotten more about evaluating football players than most of
us will ever know, you stop questioning the evaluator, like
all these stories are the same. Louisville today in basketball
has their banners taken down. They get n c A,

(10:45):
their appeal was was denied, and so what what do
writers and pun in's do. They're like, oh, this is
the dumbest n c A instead of actually diving into well,
what is this due to Rick Pettino's legacy? What does
this due to Louisville basketball? How do they react to it?
How do they get back to where they were from it? Well,

(11:08):
will Rick Petino ever coach instead of the people who
are actually responsible for what took place catching any sort
of heat today is to day to which the n
c A somehow is under fire because their penalties that
they that they levied were upheld. Instead of trying to
pick apart Lamar Jackson and whether or not he can

(11:29):
refine himself and become a competent NFL thrower and underneath
routes obviously throws up. He can throw the ball far,
but just not accurately. Can he be a starting quarterback
in the national Instead of worrying about that, we're calling
out Bill Polling and some are hinting that, well, maybe
it's race at play. Here. That's the only reason you

(11:50):
want to switch him positions, Like, no, it's not. Do
you want to switch him positions because you think he's
a really talented athlete who just might not be a
quarterback in the NFL. It's really hard to make it.
But we don't do that. Will you blame the messenger?

(12:12):
We don't try and find out why there was the message?
All right, Chris Brussar is gonna join us some moments

(12:57):
Doug Otlip Show, Fox Sports Radio. Chris Russar has been
an NBA insider for twenty years. You can see him
on Fox Sports One. You can hear him on Fox
Sports Radio Saturday's four o'clock Eastern time, one o'clock Pacific
alongside Mark Willard talk all Sports, not just not just Hope,
but christous star joins is. I said yesterday Chris that

(13:20):
the All Star Game was better, But part of it
was it was so bad last year, and part of
it was kind of perfect storm, right like Lebron in
l a Lebron, Laura Ingram thing, you know, Lebron and
all of the turmoil, um of the of the year
so far, you know, being re teamed with Kyrie, having
k D on his team, like all of that stuff

(13:42):
just kind of worked. And while it was a perfect
storm and the ratings were up, I think that's hard
to think that it will it's sustainable. Um, what's your
reaction now that we've had a couple of days since
the All Star Game. Well, like you said, it was
definitely better. I mean, it had become so bad that
over the last five years that anything competitive, remotely competitive

(14:05):
was gonna be an improvement. I do think it's sustainable
for the next several years or a few years, because
I do think the players are genuinely excited to some
degree about the new format, you know, and next year,
all indications are that it's gonna be televised. I think
the West or team staff or whoever coaches the West

(14:28):
or as the captain of the West, will take it
as seriously as Lebron did this year because it was
a bit, you know, steps getting a little pushback for
eating popcorn on the bench and not playing well, and
really didn't seem to take it as seriously as Lebron did.
So I think it's sustainable for the next few years.
I was actually talking n Kyle Lowry Saturday night about it,

(14:51):
and while to me and you it might seem like, wow,
that shouldn't make much of a difference, he actually told
me that the fact that the winning team with getting
one hundred thousand dollars each rather than fifty which it
used to be, the losers still get twenty five thousand,
He said that made a big difference. I said, like, look,
you really want to play hard, put a million dollars

(15:12):
for each guy. You'll see dudes diving for would. But
here's the thing. I don't think the NBA should do
that because I don't think it's worth it. You don't look,
it is what it is. We're not expecting regular season,
certainly not playoff intensity from from this all star game.
But you do want relatively competitive play, and we got that,

(15:35):
you know, the other day. If we get it, if
we get it going forward, we'll be fine. Chris Bruce
are joining us on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Okay, h
Adam Silver did not say that they're redoing the playoff format.
It's very very important, like people. You know, it's like
a game of telephone, you know, he's saying, like, you know,
they're considering all all all different things. You know, what,

(15:58):
do we just take the sixteen best teams? Do we
cut out East and West? Once we take the under
the cur off current playoffs selection that we didn't play
takes sixteen teams and put him into one pool, or
to be continue on the status quo. They're considering all things.
But of course, if you watch like local sports, dudes
like Adam Silver is changing the NBA playoff format and

(16:19):
that's not what he said. What are your thoughts on
what ultimately they will do. I don't think they'll do
anything for the next couple of years. Um. I actually
liked the notion of changing it. I've suggested for the
past few year seasons that they just go to a
one six team format, best sixteen records regardless of conference. Um.

(16:42):
And you know, I think you have to even out
the record to do that. You have to even out
the record to do that. I'm sorry even do that, UM,
But I don't like what he proposed. He proposed. What
he proposed would essentially make in the conferences they irrelevant,
but yet keeping them, you know what I mean, Like,

(17:04):
why why continue to have one through eight in the East?
If you know it does you're gonna have Western teams
playing Eastern teams in the playoffs. So I think you
just disbanded the conferences altogether. Even out the schedule, everybody
would play every team three times. Some teams you played
twice and then uh, you know, you go with the

(17:26):
one through six teams. UM, So you don't but you
don't see that in the short term. Mark cuban Is
is talking about tanking. He was. He was pretty honest
about it. On I think Dr Jay's podcast. He admitted
as such, going back to last year. If you watch
some of the lineups they roll out there in the
fourth quarter this year, and he said this the last
year they're gonna do it because it's just too hard

(17:47):
to take. Um. You know, like, look, Mark Cubans trying
to be the last honest man. How do you think
this will This will be handled from the Commissioner's office. Yeah, Look,
some things aren't to be said a publicly. I mean
if he's look, if he was looking to trade Dirt
Novitski or new Lands Noel at the trade deadline, you
wouldn't go public with that. I get it. He's being honest,

(18:11):
but you know this isn't what the league wants. You know,
in twenty nineteen, they're gonna try to do more to
discourage tanking. By the three worst records all have a
fourteen percent chance of getting the number one pick um.
So look, I get what Cuban was saying. He was
being honest. I think he was being honest because let
me say this, I'm not so sure that Dallas Mavericks

(18:33):
are taken. I think this might be an excuse for
just being bad. Barnes. Remember they gave Harrison Barnes ninety
four million UH in sixteen, a year and a half ago,
they offered Newlands Noel seventy million over four years. They
just made some bad moves and they're a bad team.
What he was saying is from this point forward, Yeah,
we're better off if we lose. But I never I

(18:56):
don't know if he told the players for his staff that,
but I definitely disagree with telling your players that. You
never want to tell your players you're better off losing,
because that creates a losing culture. What you wanna do
is if if you if you're gonna do that, talk
to your coach you say, look, play the play the
young players, and your team just won't be good enough

(19:18):
to win. But you never want to put it out
there to players that, hey, we're better off losing. Chris
Bruce are joining us on the Doug Gottlieb Show. Um, Look,
one of the things that happens that an All Star
game is everybody starts talking. Everybody starts chattering. The honeymoon
period at some point will be over. What's the general
consensus from all the NBA people that were in town

(19:40):
as to what the Cavs will look like when the
dust settles. Well, most people I've talked to like the moves,
and you know, a lot of people are saying, well,
it's only two games, let's see what happens. And of
course we want to see this play out over the
next week or two, or not week or two, but
next few months. But what I like about it, I
think the pieces fit, and the people I've talked to

(20:01):
think the pieces fit. You know, if they had lost
those two games, people would still be saying, assuming they
were relatively competitive, Hey, adding youth, adding energy, adding shooters
in the backcourt, adding some guys that you know can
theoretically defend, have the ability to defend if they buy
into the system and put forth the effort. That's all,

(20:23):
you know. A good move for the Cavaliers. Two things,
two people mentioned to me. One Kobe Altman, the GM
made a mistake this summer with the Kyrie Irving trade
for Yvan Thomas and quickly corrected it, which a lot
of people respected. To Lebron James, a lot of people
feel like he's so energized and inspired by these moves

(20:45):
that that can't help but help your team. So the
general consistence that I've heard from people is that they
think it was a good move by the Cavalier. Um, okay,
what about the Celtics and their sudden fall from grace? Uh,
what do people think happens in Boston? Yeah, Boston, you're
talking about struggling eighteen and fifteen. Over the last two

(21:06):
months or so, they've hit the wall. It's simple is
that two of their four best players are Jason Tatum
nineteen year old old and Jaylen Brown. Of Jalen's twenty years,
you know, but he's he's he was one and done.
This is his second year, his first year of really
playing a lot of minutes. And for a guy like
Jayson Tatums, he's essentially already played to college season. I

(21:30):
remember Doug last year, he was injured early in the season.
Uh in in college. So he's worn down, and you
can see it in the numbers. You can watch the
game and see it. You know, people are looking at it, like,
look if Boston word is somehow when the East this
year without Gordon Hayward, even if Hayward comes back late,

(21:50):
you know, and you win it, it's still icing. Nobody
expected this. Everybody thought Cleveland would be the best team
in the conference, and so if Boston somehow with it,
it's icing on the cake. If they don't, no harm,
no foul um. These young kids will continue to get
better and next year, presumably they won't hit the rookie wall.

(22:12):
Rich Choe apparently is going to be out of a job.
Here the general manager of the of the Charlotte Hornets,
and now Mitch cup Check will be in charge of
the Hornets with with Buzz Peterson is already there. It
looks like a Carolina coup is what it sounds like.
But I don't know. Like boy Mitch, Mitch made the
moves for Dwight Howard made the move from Mike Brown
for Steve Nash, lu All Dang, Timothy Moscob, d'anzelo, Russell,

(22:36):
like like the Lakers have spent the last year undoing
all of the Mitch cup Check stuff. Um feels it
feels like Jordan going Carolina over smart Hire. What do
you think is behind it? I'm with you, look and
Mitch is one of the nicer guys in the league
that I've encountered over you know, my twenty two years

(22:57):
of covering it. But I don't think it'd be a move.
The feeling around the league the last few years with
the Lakers was that the league get kind of passed
Mitch by. You had seen that they have had these
free agent meetings and they were famously inept in these meetings.
They weren't presenting the players with what they want to see.
They weren't on the cutting edge edge analytically and things

(23:20):
like that, and to bring that to Charlotte, I think
it'd be a bad move. I'm sorry. And you know
you could talk about miss cup Check training for Pau
Gasol and almost getting Chris Paul and all of that,
but it's a different league today and I don't think
that be the higher uh that Michael Jordan needs for

(23:41):
that team. And they're gonna keep If they do that,
they're gonna keep spinding their wills and they're going nowhere.
Great stuff, Chris, chrisprus Check about four o'clock Eastern, one
o'clock Pacific on Fox Sports. Tread of the Weekends with

run game coordinator. Both interviewed for the job. Great stuff,
David Doug Doug Gottlieb show, Fox Sports Tradio. So here's

(25:53):
what happened with um with Mark Cuban, because I thought
that Christmas had made some really good points, right, It's
like tanking club is like fight club? For who was
the first world? Fight club? Is what rhyme music? Do
not talk about fight club? Ramas, what's the first rule
of fight club? I thought that was it too. Don't
talk about fight club, but maybe not Gascon. You want

(26:17):
to try ever talking about fight club? Is that? What
is the actual rule. What is the actual rule? Do
you come on help me? Heelp me? Doesn't isn't isn't.
The first rule fight club is there is no such
their fight club does not exist. You're wrong, Yeah, it's
the First rule of fight club is never talk about
fight club, David, what's the second rule of fight club?

(26:38):
Never talking about fight club exactly? I thought it was
a fight club doesn't exist? No, no, no, no, no,
no no. You're butchering it normally. Normally you're the one
who tries to call us out, go and ask us
about movie trivia, and you roast us for never knowing
what it is. But this is the only is the

(27:00):
only movie I've ever where that you've actually seen that
I've talked about? Right? Have you looked it up? I
haven't looked it up because I already know it's correct.
Hold on, look it up. Look up. What the first
rule of fight club is? I know you. First rule
of fight club is you do not talk about five clubs.
Second rule of fight club is you do not talk
about fight club. Third rule of fight club is if

(27:20):
someone yell, stop, goes limp, taps out, the fight is
over and it goes on from there. Okay, can I
ask a question, honest question. So I've only seen fight
Club once maybe twice. Um at the end, it made
it seem like fight Club didn't exist, right, So was
fight Club a figment of his imagination? Did it really exist?

(27:42):
Like what's the somebody explained to me how the movie
ends and what actually took place spoiler alert. I think
it exists, like a fifteen year Ruld movie. I think
it existed. But just he was the two characters he was.
He was a character. He was both Brad Pitt and

(28:02):
Edward Norton, but the actual club existed, what he was
doing was there. It was just he was the same
person music. Do you agree with that? With with Ramos?
And then I know that Ramos is our film our
resident film critic. Yeah, that's correct, he was. He had
insomnia and split personality, so he was both Brad Pitt

(28:23):
and ed Norton. And the idea was that like at
night when he wasn't sleeping, he was out doing stuff
as Brad Pitt to like create all this chaos. And
then at the end he realizes that he was projecting
out and seeing this person as Brad Pitt even though
it was him doing it the whole time. M hmm, Okay,

(28:46):
well didn't he fight Brad Pitt at some point in time? Yeah,
and they showed that in the movie that essentially he
was beating himself up. Yeah, but how did that actually take?
How that actually occur? How? Well, so what actually happened?
He was actually punched himself in the face. It was
like when he got fired, his boss was firing him,
but instead he turned it around started hitting himself, and

(29:07):
then when the security came in, boom, he blamed his
boss for attacking him. Same thing. I gotta go back
and watch watch I screwed that thing up. Huh. But
but regardless of what, you're not supposed to talk about
fight club, whether it exists or doesn't exist, and and
uh here Mark Cuban keeps talking about fight Club. I

(29:28):
would disagree with Chris Brussard in that I don't think
this is an excuse. I think what he said was
last year when they got to about mid season. He
and I talked about this on my show, granted different network,
but we and he admitted to it several times over like, look,
you know you want to call playing young players, fine,
that that's what Rick Carlisle says, we we like to

(29:50):
play our young players and get them experience. Everybody knows
that's code for for tanking, for tanking, and um, they
have not yet fixed, and I'm not sure you can
fix based upon having an NBA draft, the idea that
if you lose more games, you're going to get a
better pick, so you're better off losing than you are competing.

(30:13):
That they're not the only ones doing this, And if anything,
the Astros are a team that more, even more than
the Philadelphia seventies Sixers obviously tanked. Everybody knew it. They
were terrible, stripped down payroll um even this year. What
they're doing, you know, there's as as bad as that is,
there's also kind of fudging the salary cap deal, right,

(30:35):
which is what the Lakers are doing and the Sixers
are doing, whethery're overpaying one player on short term deals
contagious col Wild Pope for the Lakers, JJ Reddick for
the seventies Sixers, in effort to uh per um, not persevered,
to preserve preserve that preserve a huge, huge amount of
the salary cap for a max player the following off season.

(30:59):
But even that's kind of disingenuous to the rules. That's
you guys understand what I'm saying. Like, like, part of
the salary cap is there's a minimum and a mac
there's a floor and a ceiling, and they got to
get above that floor. So in order to do so,
they sign a guy to a big one year deal,
which is no it's like the new way of doing
of taking on a contract where a guy will like
lu All Dang is not playing for the Lakers, so

(31:22):
at some point, the obviously is they'll try and trade
Lull Danks contract knowing that he's never going to probably
never going to play in the NBA again. Otherwise they
would have traded him. But he has such a bad contract,
they're gonna they they have two choices either or three choices.
Pay him out right away, but that doesn't help you
against the salary cap, and it's a huge amount of money.
The other one is the smooth contract, that's the paid

(31:43):
over three years, or to trade him so that somebody
else has that big uh nugget or big nut on
their contract that they can buy out or they can smooth.
But I think the big thing is that Mark Cuban
is violating the first rule of fight Club, the four
first rule of tank club. First rule of tank club

(32:03):
is don't ever talk about tank club. Second rule of
tank club is don't ever talk about tank club. Third
rule is if somebody goes limp, what's the other part
of the music? What's the somebody goes limp and go Yeah?
If someone goes limp or y'all stop, then the fight's
over um and then there's a I mean, do you
want me to go through all? Like? That was just
I was being sarcastic with it. I was making fun

(32:24):
of the fact that I couldn't remember the rule of
fight club. But now I know the rule of fight club,
so I want to talk about ever again. So m yeah,
now I'm looking the heir. It is right here in
front of me. The only thing colder than winners the

Doug gottlib Show Fox Sports Radio. Every day, this time,
we like to get you many stories as we can
as tight a window as possible. We do so by
playing a game. Okay, this is game time on the
Doug Gottlieb Show. David gascons in for Dan Buyer. I

(34:34):
get with him in a second. What if you could
save up to a thousand dollars and as little as
forty eight hours with tax Layer you can introducing refund
now only from tax Layer, E file your taxes get
to one thousand dollars and as little as forty eight
hours with no upfront fees. Visit tax layer dot com
for details. David, what's the game today? Let's take a peek.
We got one of the chances, all right, so here

(34:56):
we go. Baker Mayfield made some waves last month when
he twitter it out using the hashtag get me to
Miami Now. According to the Miami Herald, Mayfield and the
Miami Dolphins have a meeting sept for March thirteenth, Doug,
what are the chances Baker Mayfield actually ends up in Miami? Um?

(35:16):
The problem with to get me to Miami is we
don't know if he just wanted to go hang in
Miami right Like that is that is like an ocuous comment,
Like if I was in Oklahoma and texts at the
time somebody says where do you want to get to
like get me to Miami? Or he might have been
trolling somebody on Instagram and saw and I'm seeing a
beautiful woman. Um, you know, look, I think there are

(35:40):
fifteen or so teams that need a quarterback or need
to draft at least draft a quarterback. They're one of
those fifteen teams. They also they have a first round
draft pick. They didn't make the playoffs this year. Ryan
Tannehill is coming off an a c L injury. Um,
I'm gonna say there's a twelve percent chance and ends
up in Minving. Oh, I don't care, I don't know.

(36:04):
I I don't think he's a first round draft pick quarterback.
I think he's an intriguing guy. But the problem the
first round draftfick means most times you're gonna play right away.
And though he had complete command of the air raid offense.
That's not an NFL offense. If it was me, I
wouldn't well, I don't think it's crazy for Houston, for example,

(36:24):
to take him in the second or third round. You know,
as soon as they have Deshaun Watson. That's the style
of offense they have is gonna allow a guy to
run around back there. I think you'll go higher than that.
Someone will take a shot on at least the second round,
maybe late first. I know plenty of teams that have
quarterbacks that you know, a Giants, the Chargers, they have
aging quarterbacks that they may want to take a little
Saints that they may want to take a look at

(36:45):
the future. And we talked to Sean Payton and I
talked off air and he was like, I'm I'm kind
of into this Baker. I want to see Baker Mayfield
in person to make a determination. Somebody will take him. Um,
I just I think he's better off going behind a
veterans so he has a couple of years to assimilate
to the NFL game. Yeah, it would be interesting for
him moving forward. Former Eagles quarterback and NFL analyst Ron

(37:05):
Jorski talking to NBC in Dallas and discussing Dak prescott
struggles last season, saying, quote, he did not play well
as well as he can play, But I know the
guy has gone given talent to be a terrific quarterback
end quote. So, Doug, what are the chances Dak will
bounce back to have the best season of his young career.

(37:26):
I think pretty that he will have a better best
season of his career. Yeah, he didn't have that greatest
season in his first year. He was just it was
it was all about expectations. So I'd say there's a
seventy chance they had to get him another playmaker he's
got if they keep does the guy he's gotta learn
to get does integrating the offense a little bit better? Throw,
throw the ball up to a little bit more. Probably

(37:47):
need another tight end. But if you have Zeke Elliott,
that's gonna bring another guy into the box and you'll
have a good season. Chance he has his best season
to date, but it only be his third year. Alright,
seventy will roll with that. Alright. Yesterday we saw Scott
Boris landing nice a million dollar deal for one j D. Martinez.
He's now a Boston Red Sock. And now he might
get another client a nice pay. Dame John Hayman of

(38:07):
fan Rag Sports reporting Jake Arietta, formerly the Comes could
possibly land with the Philadelphia Phillies more baseball talk. What
are the chances are he had actually plays in Philadelphia
this coming season? Um? You know, I mean, like, look,
Philadelphia has got to spend some money on something. I
guess that would just be a money grab for Jake Arietta, Right,

(38:28):
that's the I'm tired of winning now. I just want
to make money. So I don't know what he's you know,
I don't I don't know what his uh financial makeup is,
but like, this is one of those things that guys
are always like, well, you know, nobody's gonna go play there. Yeah,
they will if they pay you a bunch more money.
They will, especially in baseball where they don't have any
salary slots. You know, it's not like max contracts in

(38:49):
the NBA. Um, I'll say chance, all right, especially a
wide open division. Light that will roll with that, alright.
Jordan's speed is one of the top young golfers right now,
but apparently he does not get enough love. Roy McIlroy
has just said a couple of days ago. Quote. I
had a chat with Brandt Snedeker last night and we
both said it, Jordan's speech is one of the most
underrated players in the game when you look at what

(39:11):
he's done and what he has achieved. But all you
here are the negatives. So, Doug, what are the chances
Jordan Spieth is actually underrated? Um, that's like a five
percent chance. Jordan Spieth almost won a Grand Slam in
one year, right, going back a couple of years ago. Yeah,
he's not underrated. He's one of the elite golfers in

(39:31):
the game. This is game time on the Dug Gottlieb Show,
Doug Gottlieb Show, Fox Sports Radio, and uh Man, got
a good hour for you up coming next? Don't we
really really good hour up coming up coming next for you? Um,
I'm intrigued by this. Who the winner of the day

(39:54):
winner of the Dayton of five hundred will be our guest?
Do you know ralmost? Do you know who it is
with that? I mean, I have it in front of me, so,
uh no, I do not. That's my dad. Now it's
not You're bad. Austin. Austin Dillon will join us next hour.
He you know you can look at he just got
a tattoo in an interesting place. Now's a fantastic time

(40:14):
to buy a new Honda. Visit shop Honda dot com
or visit your local Honda dealer today. All right, Austin
Dillon will join us next to I'll ask him about
winning the Daytone of five. But up coming next, Kirk
Cousins is a free agent. He's the premier free agent
quarterback that will be available on the market right Like
there's other quarterbacks that are gonna have their deals redone,

(40:36):
but he'll you'll be on the market. The Jets might
do something ingenious in order to get him, should they
and should Kirk sign the deal? Find out next? What
up the Gottliep Show, Fox Sports Radio, Coming to you
from the City of Angels. Well, we're recruiting cruitain uh

(41:00):
NBA players throughout the weekend. Speaking of her, Curt and
I saw this story and I thought it was really really,
really really interesting. As um, Look, there's a bunch of
teams they need a quarterback. Like half the teams in
the NFL need a quarterback on some level, just like
go through it, like Arizona Cardinals need a quarterback. The
Denver Broncos need a quarterback. The Buffalo Bills truthfully need

(41:26):
a quarterback. Baltimore Ravens probably think they need a quarterback
when they can afford one with Flacco or not. The
Jets need a quarterback. The Browns need a quarterback. The
Vikings need a quarterback. Like there's a lot of teams
that need a quarterback. The Giants need a quarterback of
the future. The Jaguars need a quarterback. The Dolphins need
a quarterback. Like, Man, we're getting kind of deep in here.

(41:47):
We've seen what Andy Dalton is. So they don't need
a quarterback, but they probably need a championship caliber quarterback
if they want to take the next step right. They've
been close but haven't gotten to it. So lots of
different um teams that need a quarterback. But for Kirk Cousins, yeah,

(42:09):
I guess it's it's twofold. Do you go somewhere you're
going to get paid or do you go somewhere where
you got a chance to win? And is there a
place to which you could go? You could you could
do both. According to Brian Costello of The New York Post,
the Jets are touring around with the idea of front
loading a contract to offer Kirk Cousins sixty million dollars

(42:33):
guaranteed in the first year, sixty million dollars guaranteed the
first year under his contract. The Jets would also have
another thirty million or so to go out and spend
on free agents who can help Cousins immediately. In other words,
you put as much as you can into the signing bonus,
so it looks, uh, it looks like the deal is

(42:59):
um for for the salary cap sake, it looks like
the deal is only you know, thirty million dollars. But
you can there's there's a limit to what you can
do for each bonus. But you're throwing all the possible
bonuses within the first calendar year your front load of contract,
and then you you hold on to Cousins. Here's the

(43:19):
problem with the Jets doing that. The problem isn't that
you'd screw up the scale for quarterbacks. That's a small
portion problem. This is kind of Darrell Reeves in a
nutshell already. Like if you're Kirk Cousins and you paid
million essentially the past two years combined, that's about what
he played for both guaranteed he already made fifty million
in cash. Would you take the sixty million up front? Yeah.

(43:42):
If it's about making money and you want to make
gobs and gobs and gobs of money, yeah, sure go
for it. And it's a smart deal for the team
because they'll still have cash to spen on other players
and the salary cap number will lessen as the years
go on, so allow them for more flexibility. The problem
as you run the risk of Kirk Cousins doing to

(44:02):
you what Durrell Reevas would do, which is if your
frontload of contract, what's the stop Kirk Cousins year year
three from saying you know what, Ay, I can't play
at this rate. I need to get a rate commensurate
with one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, Like, hey,
we just paid you up from Like okay, fine, that
was how you got me. That was that you got me.

(44:26):
Which is why I think the Jets are in this
kind of unique precarious position. They're drafting in the first round,
but but they're behind the Giants there behind the Browns.
They won't get the first pick of quarterbacks and the Giants,
the Jets probably feel as though they're closer to winning
now if they have a quarterback, then trying to develop
another guy they haven't drafted. Well, Christian Hackenburg can't play.

(44:51):
Bryce Petty is gone, but he couldn't play damn you know.
Gina Gino Smith was a previous Regimes draft and he's gone.
He went to the Giants. He can't play, Like, let's
just go and get and so it actually, on on
some level, makes sense for the Jets in the short term,
but it's always comes back to get you in a
long term because even though NFL contracts our pro team

(45:13):
in the last couple of years of it, right, they're
all written the same, so that at the end of
the contract for the most part, their pro team, they
can cut you. They can catch you if they want,
or force you to renegotiate. You know, guys like Dez Bryant,
that will probably happen to him if he wants to
stay with the Dallas Cowboys. The fact is that allow

(45:34):
of those back into contracts look like their pro team
because they can hold onto your rights for as long
as they have you under contract, and they don't have
to pay you anything more than what they're paying you
if they smartly do it. Within the soilder cap like
it's genius, but can also be pro player. One, if
you do get cut, you get a new contract with
the new signing bonus, new frontload of deal. And two

(45:55):
with the right player, if he puts up the right numbers,
he can hold out and say, look, look, I played
for thirty million over the past or thirty five million
whatever it ends up being guaranteed over the first you know,
two years. I mean, if it's sixty million up front
and he plays even for ten the second year, that
still ends up being what thirty five million over the
first two years. That's the rate that I need to
be paid at. And he can hold out and he

(46:17):
can hold you hostage. So I mean, the whole thing
is is fascinating, and I get that Kirk Cousins is
the best guy on the market and that he's going
to be overpaid, and Jimmy Garoppolos kind of look, Jimmy garoppolo,
I believe it is better than Kirk Cousins, But he
started seven games in the NFL. Cousins started the last
three years and nearly threw for five thousand yards two

(46:38):
years ago. He is far more accomplished in resume and
now that Garoppolo is off the market, what are your
other options if you're the Jets, right, Like, if you
don't get Kirk Cousins, who are you gonna go get?
You're gonna resign Josh McCown. If you're gonna resign Josh McGown,
or are you gonna go and get any of the Vikings,

(46:59):
Cores Backs or a j mccaren Are you gonna pay
those guys starting money? Okay? This um, this feels like
Mike Glennon deal on steroids to get Kirk Cousins for
that much. Kirkus is a nice player, but kidding ourselves, right,
I don't know. If if I'm the Jets, I probably

(47:22):
hard one. I probably stick with Josh McCown signed him
to a deal to which is slightly inflated above the
level of it. You know, don't do what they did
with Fitzpatrick. Don't give into twelve million whatever for Fitzpatrick,
which is a disaster in year two. McCown wasn't bad,
tough guy. You know, have a backup as your starter
and draft a guy who's not overpaid. Draft a guy

(47:44):
in the second round, not over valued, second round or
third round, and develop him and you may say to yourself,
we already have development of guys in Christian Hackenburg, like, Okay,
that one's not working, that dog won't hunt. That's why
you're in need of a quarterback. Go ahead, music. Do
you think the rest of the league right now, the

(48:04):
teams that are desperate for a quarterback are sort of
looking at the Redskins and they're just completely piste off
at the way they handled the Kirk Cousins thing. Because
they gave him the franchise tag back to back years,
they've raised what his asking rate is as I don't
think I don't think that has anything to do with it.
I think Garoppolo's contract, all the other quarterback contracts are
are are how you established value. Really yeah, I think.

(48:30):
I mean the Redskins had a chance probably about two
years ago after they used the first franchise tag to
probably get him more in the lower twenty million range,
and then net last year when they gave him the
franchise tag again and they put it at almost twenty
five million, that's what really raised the bar to where
then he had a good enough season to where now
he thinks he deserves more than that. Again. Oh look,

(48:54):
I think there's a little bit of that. But the
truth is, like the way it works is it's like
it's like real estate. It works in cumps, right, That's
how it works. It's in calm, comparable sales in terms
of homes and you know, comparable contracts for players and
what the you're worth, what the market will bear, and
the market has. The two things he has going for

(49:15):
him is look at the numbers that Jimmy Garoppolo just
signed for, and whether or not you think Jimmy Garoppolo
is better, Kirk Cousins is more accomplished and more experienced. Right. Um. Secondly,
there's all these teams that need a quarterback and so
they're willing to overpay together, they're gonna have to overpay
to get one, and you just leverage one against the other.

(49:39):
So I don't think it has I honestly don't think
it has anything to do with the franchise tech because
look a j McCarron, for example, he'll be on the market,
he'll get a crazy amount of money from somebody. Last
year's Mike Glennon got what fifteen million dollars fifteen million
dollars to start for a couple of games before he
handed out to Mitchell Drabinski, So that was Mike Glennon.

(49:59):
If that's that's the low end for a short term deal,
is fifteen million per it was eighteen and a half, Yeah,
I think it was fifteen for one years. Eighteen and
a half was the guarantee. But that's the low end.
He'll get above that, that's the argument. Now, might you
get somebody who will take less. Might you get a

(50:22):
Sam Bradford who might take glas because Sam Bradford made
fifty million dollars in assigning Bonus has made a ton
of money made nineteen last year. You might get somebody
who takes below market value. But generally, just like teams
have coluded in Major League Baseball players and agents kind
of clude like, look, I'm not going to be the
guy that takes below market value. Market value first starting
quarterback is between fifteen and twenty five to thirty million

(50:44):
dollars depending on where you sit. If you've been a
starting quarterback, you're you know, twenty two plus. And then
it comes down to how many bidders do you have?
Can you get the top tower. I think the big
question for cousins ish Um does he have this whole
thing figured out, Like if he's got this whole thing
figured out, and he says to himself like, look, I

(51:07):
could go and make less money and play for the
Denver Broncos and have a chance to win playoff games,
or I could just make more money and work less.
Like if I'm which do you do? I understand that
the sportsman in us, the competitor in us, says, well,
you don't go to the Jets because the Jets won't win.

(51:30):
If your Kirk Cousins, part of you says, I think
I could win wherever I go. There's ego to that,
But part of you also says, does it really matter? Right?
Does it really matter? Like if if we say to
Kirk cut you know he was fine, he was a
five quarterback, but in a four. Let's say the sixty million,

(51:51):
I don't believe it will be played one year. It'll
be something they'll be able to do it where it's
within the first you know two years will be like
seventy million dollars. Let's do you make seventy million over
two years? And he made fifty million the last two
years guaranteed. So does Kirk Cousins really have to care
if he wins or loses, because in four years you're

(52:14):
made over a twenty million dollars promis, what do you
think on that one? Buddy? Sounds good to me, right,
it sounds like a good guy's agent. I'd like to be.
I understand how all of us think you're supposed to
think you're supposed to think, and and to me, like
losing sucks and when you're a bad team, you're in
a bad offensive line, you get hit a bunch again.

(52:37):
I it's not a it's not something I would like
to do. On the other hand, most importantly, if it's
about me and my family, A guy who has always
felt like I've been undervalued and underpaid, regardless of whether
I have or have not, But why not go on

(52:57):
and make that money? Like what if it is sixty
million hours this year? And what if he has made
a hundred and ten million dollars over three years, doesn't
matter if they win ten games. I think we all
know the real answer to it is now, now you
gotta handle the fact that that's what your legacy is
gonna be, that you that you were all about the

(53:19):
bottom line. But I can wipe away my tears with
hundred dollar bills as conditions on the field chain soaking

years to the day on Sunday when Dale Earnhardt died.
On was it to turn four final lap of the
two thousand one Daytona five hundred, and so when you

(54:24):
saw the three car in Victory Lane, you're like, Wow,

time since like in forever, like forty years since there
was there's no Earnhart in the race because Dale Haart Jr.
Retired and was covering the race. And uh, I know
none of that is lost on the Daytona five winner
Austin Dillon, who joins us on the Doug Gotlip Show

(54:45):
on Fox Sports Radio. What's what's that moment like when you, uh,
there's there's a bunch of other I know, in race
similarities to you winning the race, but you see the
three car, you're standing above your own three car, and
you're you're seeing the checkers below you, and you realize
kind of all that other stuff that goes wrapped into it. Well,

(55:06):
it's uh, it's mind blowing, man fulfilling. Um. I feel
like I gave something to all of our partners down

the poll. Um, but you know, look, you at your
Rookie of the Year in the Truck Series, the Nationwide Series,
even go back to when you're growing up you played
in the Little League World Series. Like You've had a
pretty successful sporting life, no matter, no matter what you've done. Uh,
this almost feels like when you said what to do next?
Like this is like a crowny achieving you're supposed to
as supposed to cur at the end of your career.

(56:52):
You're only twenty seven right this, but considering all the
other things you've done, this has to be the best now,
oh man. And it's uh, it's a great feeling, and um,
I still want to complish when one I want to
win a championship and be the first guy to win
all three champions with the NASCAR. I think that would
be oh man, that would I don't know what I
would do except for that, but sure you'd find something

(57:15):
like seven times champion Jimmy Johnson hungry for any kind
of win he can get. So you look up the
guys like that, they just keep pushing for more. How
how has it changed? I look, I will be dead
honest with you. I don't watch every week I watched.
I like to watch the big races. I like under
the lights at Bristol. I like some of the big
races like this one obviously when you're raced up in

(57:36):
India as well, that's that's a great one with a brickyard.
Uh in the brickyard. But um, like I'm even confused
by the scoring because I'm like, wait, it's not just
about who wins and where you finished because there's different
segments to the race. How much does that play into
how you drive throughout the day? Well, Um, each race
kind of has a different field to it. Speedway races,

(57:58):
you gotta get to the end of them to have
a chance to win them, which is um just key.
And we played our race kind of like that. You know,
we wanted to be there at the end to have
a chance to win a tame. It's um, there's nothing
there's nothing like having your plan come together and worked
out and everything just played out perfectly for us Sunday.

(58:20):
How sitting in the three car on the seventeenth anniversary's death,
the twentieth anniversary of the wind, do you feel any
of that? Are you two locked in on the race? Oh?
You always feel that you know. It's it's what's great
about having a number that has so much history behind it.
And yes, there's pressure, wasn't it. But when when you've
come to realize that what you can accomplish when you

(58:42):
do win made a lot of people happy someday, a
lot of three fans out there and they get to
see their favorite number back in the Jillian. All right,
so do you did you already get the tattoo, the
champ tattoo on your butt? Yeah, it's there, man, It's
it's sore right now. Actually, um are sitting on it.
So is that your first tattoo you've you've ever gotten? Well?

(59:05):
I have another one actually on my other butt cheek
and that was another story. But uh so I have
to and one the champion and the other one is
a group of my buddies and call each other wolf pack.
There's about now there's about twenty of us that actually
have the same tattoo on our left butt cheek. Well,
that's a hell of a wolf pack. Twenty people that
that is a that is a dangerous wolfpack. Did you

(59:26):
get that one Vegas? Did you get that one in Vegas? I?
Actually no, we we got him at the same tattoo
parlor in Daytona. That's why we went back. Um, some
of the guys that got their original and we're all
my team actually and like we're going back to the
tattoo parlor and uh we went and got it done.
How's Whitney feel about this? No, Whitney's fun with it.

(59:48):
She's she supports me in about everything I do. And
she I tried to talk her into it when she
said he can't put a bump or stick or anything
not with her quote, that is a great line. She's
that that's really really Now I've heard that line before,
but if she came up with the line immediately after
you said it, that's a really good line. Dude. That
obviously she's already a keeper, but if you didn't know

(01:00:09):
she is in fact a keeper after that line. Yeah,
Whitney is very witty. She's she keeps up with her game.
Austin Dillon joining us, if anybody like people who know
the day five hundred, your car now goes in the museum,
So now do you and then kind of a loss like, well,
I like that car. Do you do you stick that
actual car or do you have like a demo car?

(01:00:30):
You put in the museum. See that that baby goes
in the museum, and you know it will just be uh,
they'll have a shelf life. Now it stays and um,
that will always be remembered and never never driven again,
which is cool, and you like you like the ones
like my car and my six hun a car they'll
never drive again. Um, there's a lot of that's that's

(01:00:51):
very special, all right, Erica Almarola. Obviously you end up
bumping him, he spins out. That's on the last lap.
Now that you've had to see it, tends to breathe
and think about it. How do you reflect upon on
on spinning on on pushing him and spinning him out
and end up winning checkers because of it? Well, you know,
when um, I had to push from dary a lot

(01:01:14):
to back, I had to use it and I had
a lot of momentum catching him. He tried to block
it low and the next thing is I can't lift
at that point when when you get blocked. And his
uh interview affords were he was very cool about everything,
and I expect the same thing from him, you know,
in the same situation and I'm blocking and you know
I'll probably get dumped, and um, it's a part of it.

(01:01:36):
But you have the opportunity for all those partners and
the team that put all this effort, and you've got
to do what it takes to win. And and um,
I just had to stay the gas. If I lift there,
I probably get wrecked anyway. So, uh, it's it's Daytona, man,
and speedway racing is different than any other rason we do. Yeah,
it's pretty special to see Chevy get the win and
your daw team get to win in our cr get

(01:01:57):
to win. Hey, listen, man, congrats and enjoy these spoils
of the victory. At some point, I'm sure you'll get
off this hamster wheel of of media tour and get
some rest and get ready for for the next time
you get behind the wheel. Appreciate you joining us on
Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, thanks man. Hey, NASCAR has got
a lot of good stuff going on right now. If
you are looking for drivers, we've got a lot of youth,

(01:02:17):
young guys out there there taking But that's cooling to
see where our sports at a great time and really
laps on the cat all right. It's Austin Dylan, a
proud member of the wolf Pack don't believe me. He's
got it emblazoned on his on his butt cheek. Thanks
so much, Austin, appreciate it. Doug Golip Show, Fox Sports Radio,

(01:02:37):
do you have any tattoos? Music? Sorry, I was saying
goodbye to apologize. I do not have any tattoos. No
Rama's tattoos. That would be a negative, Doug. Yeah, I
don't have it's And people say, like, well, it's the
Jewish thing, right, Like, yeah, it's probably part of the
Jewish thing. I mean, I'm not gonna I don't think
I'll be buried in the Jewish cemetery. I just respectfully,

(01:02:58):
I don't getty, but I don't don't look down on tattoos.
I do think that I always felt like when I
was playing basketball. Remember I finished playing college basketball eighteen
years ago, professional basketball fifteen or so years ago. Um,
I always thought we started to get to the trend
where I was the only guy to not have a

(01:03:18):
tat at some level, maybe maybe not the only guy
that sure felt I would like eventually the trend will
be that way. And I, in case you haven't listened
to the show, I do have usually have contrarian views.
So when the world zigs I try and zag. So
I think it's a combination of the Jewish thing, kind
of a cultural respect thing because of the holoclass and

(01:03:40):
guys haven't been tattooed, um, people being tattooed. Also the
zagging when everybody else is zigging, and a healthy, healthy
fear of needles UM as well as and here's the
last thing. The things I like this year I didn't
like the last year, like with the exception of music,
but even music, and I'm not talking about Ryan music.

(01:04:04):
I was sitting in UM. I got a haircut yesterday,
as music knows, before the show, and I was getting
the getting a haircut, and Paradise City was on right,
and I was thinking about guns and Roses. I didn't
like guns and Roses when Guns and Roses was super
super popular. It was like middle school. I didn't like
guns and Roses. I didn't like Van Halen when Van

(01:04:26):
Halen was peaked van Halen. UM. I didn't like the
Cure back when I was in like sixth grade through
middle school and into high school. And I don't like
the Cure now. So not everything you're gonna come around
to liking. But there were things that I didn't like
then that I like now. And I used that because
if I got a tattoo, while it might be cool now,

(01:04:47):
there's a very good chance in like two years to
be like what was I thinking? David Gascon and for
Dan Buyer, David, Oh, let me get to this. Ask
conditions on the field change. So can your insurance needs
talk with the farmers agent to day so you can
assess with your policies. Game ready by an agent at
Farmers dot com Farmers David tattoos, I can't do it.

(01:05:11):
I uh, none of us have tattoos. I'm a fur
ball though, so getting a tattoo would be a waste
of a waste of money. I'm better off burning like
eight and wait till you're you're like, you're too hairy
to get a tattoo. Yeah, and I'm not gonna do
like what was it like? You can't like, man escape,
you can't take hair int of that. I could have
that'd be really expensive. So like when you take off

(01:05:32):
a shirt, people like, hey, take off your shirt, like
I did take off my shirt. No, no, no, not that, Harry, No.
But yeah, I'll just say that much there's nowhere for
me to put a tattoo that would actually look worthwhile.
I'll say that much. I'm not gonna be like a
trimle band or a calf. Now what would I put
on my wrist? You could do one of those like
little sleeve deals, kind of like what Adam Levine has,

(01:05:55):
you know, I mean Adam Levene kind has gone crazy
with the tattoos. If I was in the if I
was in the seven one four, I can get away
with it. I was in Huntington's Beach that just completely
trounging about. Oh man, you're touched though not Huntington Beach
A little bit different it is. It's this I'm actually

(01:06:16):
orange to be honestly, it's very similar to and you're
kind of meet with less money. Yeah, and you don't
have like a truck with like a ten inch lift
on it, so drastically you know, well, yeah, rumor has it.
I wish I wish my truck. Anyway, what do you have?
We'll start things off in college basketball today. The big

(01:06:37):
news coming with an n C double A panel. It's
denied Louisville's appeal and it's men's basketball program sex scandal
case that went down. So the two thousand thirteen National
championship has been vacated, along with victories from two thousand
eleven to two thousand fifteen. And also the Cardinals are
gonna forfeit some money as well, millions and millions of dollars.
We'll find out how much soon enough. Speaking of millions,

(01:06:58):
of New York Post is reporning the New Jets could
offer Kirk Cousins sixty million dollars in the first year
of his contract. Tampa Bay Buccaneers saving some cash today.
They've released tailback Doug Martin and will save them nearly
seven million dollars. And they've also released defensive tackle Chris Baker.
That's according to Mike Gara. Folo Adam set to reporting
that free agent kicker Adam Venetarian plans. I'm playing in

(01:07:21):
It's forty five years of age, and the Eagles have
elevated wide receivers. Coach might grow to offensive coordinator. Let's
let's let's go to that Louisville thing, shall we. I mean,
I think Louille here. Here, here's what's super There's some
super interesting parts to the Louivill thing. I'll get to
him one second. The only thing colder than winners, the
thought of being stranded in it. That's why Auto Zone

(01:07:42):
offers free battery testing in a wide selection have proven
tough ter a last batteries so you can start your
car with confidence getting the zone Auto Zone. I understand
that we can't unsee a Final four. I joke about
it that, okay, so am I supposed to now forget
that they missed the call when they call a foul
and Trey Burke, who had an incredible block that was

(01:08:04):
called a foul is kind of a game changing call.
Do what do I forget that in Michigan doesn't now
win a title? Um curious is that Michigan obviously now
plays in the National Championship game that never happened, as
opposed to the two Final four banners from the Fab
five which were taken down, which also never happens. There

(01:08:24):
is a little bit of what goes around comes around
type of deal that they called the time out in.
You know, Chris Weber called the time out against North
Carolina they didn't have, but that actually didn't take place
because Michigan had that Final four banner taken down and
they uh A, I thought a blown call goes against them,

(01:08:46):
which they committed no n c A violations under John
b Line. But they lose the game in that way.
I guess obviously they didn't win either one. But my
bigger point is this with with Louisville, it sounds great
to be upset at taking down a banner. I was there,
I watched. I know I was there because I actually
worked the game for CBS. I was ten yards off

(01:09:08):
the court, sitting next to Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith
and Greg Anthony and Greg Gumble halftime for after the game. Okay,
I was there. I know it took place. There is
a this is a symbolic gesture. Symbolic gesture, that's all
it is. And while you say to yourself, like why
would you do it? It's so dumb, Like okay, so

(01:09:31):
what what punishment would you offer up? That's better they
find the school? Okay. They took themselves out of the
n c A tournament for a year, which oh yeah,
by the way, while it probably would have been done anyway,
remember that was what Louisville did at the time in

(01:09:53):
order to try and save the program and save themselves
like that was Louisville put themselves on a year probation
from the n c A tournament. Louisville did, the n
c did not, and the n c A saw what
they did and said, that's good. We got a little
bit more for you. We're gonna take down your band,
and we're gonna find you. We're gonna do this, We're
gonna do that. But Louisvill is one that took themselves

(01:10:14):
out of the tournament a couple of years ago. That
was Rick Pettino trying to save his job, save his program.
More so than Rick Pettino knowing that the n c
was gonna take them out of the n c A tournament,
you offered that thing up. I just I don't know.
You're talking about an impossible job for the n c
A Committee on Infractions. Impossible job. And while yeah, North

(01:10:38):
Carolina got away with taking the these ghost court courses
because it was offered to all students, not just student athletes,
even though all but one player on one of their
national championship teams. I think it's the two thousand five
national champion was an African American studies major. Like, come on, man,
like what are we doing? We don't realize that this

(01:10:59):
is really how being the basketball program keep everybody eligible.
And in North Carolina didn't know this was going on.
Why they take players out of the African American Studies program.
They did because they knew something was up with it,
whether they knew that they were complete no show farest
courses or they just thought it was way too easy
to for North Carolina. They knew something was up, but
the idea that North Carolina got away with it and

(01:11:20):
Louisville did not, And somehow that makes the system a
bunk system. Hey, have you paid attention to the the
justice system and our own justice system? People walk that
are guilty. O J. Simpson walked when he was guilty.
Now they got O. J. Simpson in jail until recently
on a technicality they out camponed al Capone, getting him

(01:11:44):
on racketeering and tax evasion charges. And that's essentially what
they're doing to Louisville. Were the crimes that were committed
so agreed? Just did they change massively changed change grades? Now?
Did they pay hundreds of thousands in this particular case,

(01:12:07):
did they pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to a
student athlete order to get them to attend in this
particular case, This is not the most recent FBI investigation,
and uh, Louisville still got got some got some explaining
to do when that a case occurs before the Committee
of Interractions. But they had hookers in the dorms recruiting

(01:12:30):
players and the ladies of the night, the professionals, if
you will, were being paid compensated by one of these
staff members former player at Louisville. You know, it's like, man,
I don't like this punishment, Like, all right, tell me
a better punishment. If you punish the team now and
you say there out of the n s a term

(01:12:50):
for two years, you're punishing players had nothing to do
with it. Rick Patino's as already lost his job, granted
for something else, but he's already lost his job. The
staff member in question wasn't there, and he already has
a show cause. But you you got to make a
point to say this isn't okay. So I'm not sitting
here defending everything the n c A does. And there's

(01:13:11):
a there's an amount of hypocrisy to a lot of
the rulings the n c has. But like, I just
don't understand why we have a tendency to comment negatively
on the punishment instead of commenting negatively on the actual
story and the crimes that were committed. Former Detroit Piston

(01:13:37):
Hall of Famer and NBA TV analyst Isaiah Thomas has
a thought on where Lebron James should go if he
leaves the Cleveland Cavaliers. It is not where you think.
We will comment on it. Next online shopping and be confusing,
Well not anymore. With true Price from True Car, now
you can know the exact price you'll pay for your

(01:13:58):
next car. So visit UKR and enjoy more confident car
by the experience a deep, deep free Why call for
a three bore Oklahola and also go one hill? Another
thrilling knight at Allen Field House, another win for the Jayhawks,
their second in a row at home Kansas once again

(01:14:20):
a top the Big Twelve, and they got Texas Tech
on Saturday, a chance to raise a fourteen consecutive Big
Twelve banner. That thrilling moment reminds me of this thriller
up coming up coming up this March second. On Friday,
uh Bruce Willis stars and Eli Ross reimagination of the
original action film Death Wish after his wife and daughter
brutally attacked a family man morphs into a badass revenge

(01:14:44):
machine when the system fails him, so he decides to
go vigilante take matters into his own hands. The big
question is whether you and me and the audience we
view him as a hero or villain and see how
far he'll go to protect his family. Bruce Willis becomes
a force to be reckoned with and is deeply human.
Ful of that classic Willis charm. Don't miss Death Wish,
an action thriller in theaters Friday, March second. And now say,

(01:15:11):
what we do is we listen to and watch shows
throughout the day on Fox Sports One and Fox Sports Radio.
We pick out segments we like the best and comment
on them. Isaiah Thomas, hall of famer, two time NBA Champion,
Olympic champion as well said this on First Things First
in regards to Lebron James should do this offseason. If
I'm Lebron James, if I don't stay in Cleveland, if
I'm him, I go to Golden State, I go and

(01:15:33):
play with Kevin Durant. I try to get with Steph
Curry because I'm looking at my age and I'm just
I'm just talking as an athlete now. Right when you're
a young man, you know, in your twenties you can build,
but when you and your mid late thirties, then you
gotta join. You can't be a carrier for the next
ten years now, So what he's got to do is

(01:15:54):
look at a place where he can go fit and
joint and Kevin Durant is I'm bad that you can
ride with. Yeah. I think what he's saying is what
I've told you, which is Kevin duran is actually the
better player. You're like, no way, I just saw the
Aulstar Game, Like, dude, is the All Star Game. Those
guys weren't all playing hard. Stuff was eating popcorn on
the bench like it mattered to Lebron, but it didn't matter,

(01:16:17):
and really as much of the rest of those guys.
The the issue there is that, look, he'd be great
and they'd win, and you almost feel, I don't know
how they'd make all the salaries work. They'd have to
dump so many other pieces in order to get get him,
and maybe le Bron would have to take less money.
He's not going to Golden State. So it's like we're
talking about I don't mind talking about dream scenarios that

(01:16:40):
you could make an argument would happen, that's not happening.
It's not happening. And what happens with the Lakers is people, Well, listen,
the Lakers. They're just so young and they're but you
had Lebron, you and Paul George and all of a
sudden and you're talking a year from now brandon Ingram.
You're older, the senses, you can hold on to Julius

(01:17:01):
Randall and all those other pieces where you fit other
pieces around him like that kind of works. I think
the bigger question is this about the Lakers. Am I
okay with Lebron passing? Lebron is great and in the
short term he could help you win right away, But
there's a certain Albert pool Holes. Um, there's certain Albert

(01:17:22):
Pooles kind of uh lifespan to this thing. So even
if he signs a four year deal, the first two
could be great, but the last two not so much.
You get to your mid to late thirties and you're
not going to be a player that we build around
and you're gonna be making huge money. I'm actually okay
if I'm the Lakers if he turns it down. Colin

(01:17:49):
Cowd had this to say in regards to Mark Cubans
conversation on Dr Jay's podcast in regards to tanking, tanking
doesn't work. Who are the good teams in the league
right now? Houston never tanked, Spurs never tanked, Celtics never tanked,
Raptors never tanked. You notice that Philly tanked, Phoenix tanked?
Where are they like this tanking thing? I don't buy it.

(01:18:13):
You know what you win in the NBA, You win
titles with veteran stars, and veteran stars don't want to
enter rebuilds and losing cultures. Tanking equals losing. We think
of the Boston Celtics as a rebuild, but they were
never willing to be awful. When we look at the
rebuilding years in the last five or six in the NBA,
Boston is how you do it. Here's three things that

(01:18:34):
don't work in sports. Spending big money on wide receivers
in the NFL, giving a major league Baseball star a
ten year, two dred million dollar contract, and tanking in
the NBA. Maybe it used to work when you get it,
Tim Duncan. Maybe it used to work when you get
a Patrick Ewing who was twenty three developed, emotionally ready,

(01:18:56):
but Dallas tank last year, got a great rookie and
there's still awful. Well, yeah, first of all, the Boston
Celtics absolutely did tank. They've tanked several times over What
is he talking about, Like, do we not remember when
they tried to tank to get Kevin Durant and and
Greg Oden and they didn't get either. They were playing

(01:19:19):
Sebastian Telfair and Allen Ray in fourth quarters in order
to try and to try and get those lottery pricks.
Didn't work, but it did work. Going back, what was
it um two thousand thirteen, two thousand fourteen, they ended
up twenty five and fifty seven. Do you know who
had the worst record in the league that year, Ryan Music?
You know they had the worst record in the league
and four years ago, I'm gonna say the Boston Celtics. Nope,

(01:19:43):
the Milwaukee Bucks. How to work out for them. They're
a playoff team. With Janison ten Acoopo Philadelphia seventy one
nineteen games that year, they're a playoff team. The Boston
Celtics won twenty five games. They're a playoff team. You
can tell me tanking has not tried isual only worked? Okay,
I'll go for that, But in this era of the NBA,

(01:20:07):
it absolutely Minnesota. The next year Minnesota in two thousand,
two thousand fifteen, they won sixteen games. Minnesota a playoff team.
They have Karl Anthony Towns Um. They traded Kevin Love
for the number one overall pick and that's worked out.

(01:20:29):
Then they signed Jimmy Butler, experienced player. Look at the
Minnesota Timbers. Of course it doesn't always work, but it's
working there. It's working in Philadelphia, it worked in Boston,
and it worked with the Houston Astros. Which one do
you think, say, all right, Um, we've got a lot
to get to the final hour of the show, A

(01:20:51):
lot to get too final out of the show. Doug
Otlip Show, Fox Sports Radio One should love a bigger
tax refund. Tax Layer was recently rated number one for
Maxi Murief on see if more cash has spent on
whatever the heck you want to spend on this tax season,
go out and slay at max a refund at tax
layer dot com. Lamar Jackson's now come back into the conversation.
Bill Pollian said, it looks a little small, a little thin,

(01:21:14):
not accurate. I have one major reason Lamar Jackson will
struggle in the NFL. It's not his height. Tell you
what it is next on Doug Otat Show What Up
Doug Got Leaves Show, Fox Sports Radio. We've already had
Austin Dill in the Dayton of five UM winner join us.

(01:21:36):
Chris Brussard has already joined us. Danna Jeremiah upcoming this hour,
I'll get his take on what I'm about to talk about.
It regard involves around Louisville. No, it's not talking about
Louisville taking down in two thousand thirteen national championship. Don't care,
don't care. You know, Um, I don't have any I

(01:22:01):
don't have any real sorrow or sympathy for Louisville if
they feel like this discredits their national championship. On the
other hand, unfortunately, like the rules were broken and the
sport was embarrassed, they still get to be national champions.
So nothing. I It's one of those deals to where

(01:22:23):
you're like, look, I would love to find some different
and more appropriate punishment, but I can't. So this is
the best they can do. And all that happened today
was their appeal was denied. That's it. We move on.
But speaking of Louisville. There are some that believe, somehow
before we've even drafted, before there's even been a combine,

(01:22:47):
Lamar Jackson has been defamed. Lamar Jackson won the Heisman
Trophy two years ago, and of course when you win
the Heisman Trophy or held to a higher stand My
thought was, I didn't think two years ago he should
have won it. He finished terribly. It was a lot
like Frankie, was a lot like Trey Young winning the
National Player of the Year like. We completely stopped paying

(01:23:08):
attention to what he did the last month of the season,
which was not good. And this year, because he was
returning Heisman Trophy winner, we held him to what I
would guess would be a high what people would call
a higher standard. His team wasn't grace. Team was eight
and five, and while his numbers were still statistically very good,

(01:23:32):
it wasn't like all of a sudden he was a
high percentage completion guy. He's fift passer in college football,
seven touchdowns, ten interceptions, and yet as a runner spectacular
sixteen hundred and one yards. It's crazy eighteen touchdowns rushing.

(01:23:53):
You go back to the previous season, he had thirty touchdowns,
nine receptions, fift hundred yards rushing. It's all so important
to recognize that what Lamar Jackson did UM, for example,
in the two thousands six looks like at the two
thousand and seventeen season, right when you when they played
good defenses, and he said, even sometimes when they played

(01:24:14):
bad you they play good defenses. That's when the passing
numbers were generally down when we played Florida State this
year and floors date wasn't even good. Hundred fifty six
yards passing when he played Boston College and they lost
nineteen of thirty nine, NC State twenty six of forty seven,

(01:24:35):
Clemson two and though he had three touchdowns completed passes
and in college football the conversion of pro football. I
look look at the look at the splits of Lamar
Jackson in two thousand and sixteen, even when um, you know,

(01:24:57):
he he had thirty touchdowns and nine receptions, but third
teen of those touchdowns were early in the season when
they played the likes of Charlotte who just started become
a Division one program, Syracuse who played football that year
like they just started becoming a Division one program. People
want to talk about his size. I think it's an issue.

(01:25:18):
People want to talk about his lack of thickness. I
think that's a bit of an issue. And if you
can say, like I don't think of thickness should matter.
It's two two hundred ten pounds. He's a freak athlete.
He is. Sam Bradford was thought to be too thin
when he left Oklahoma. How's his career worked out injury wise?
Teddy Bridgewater was thought to be too slight when he

(01:25:39):
left Louisville. How's his career worked out? Injury wise? But
more than anything, he's not an accurate passer. This has
nothing to do with race. It doesn't have to do
with athleticism and quarterback. It has to do with can
you complete easy passes? And though he's improved to from

(01:26:00):
the year before percent the year before that, I didn't.
I don't understand why he's leaving. He still needs to
be more refined. Cam Newton was a sixty five percent
completion guy. Granted it was Auburn a lot of bubble screens,
but they run bubble screens and shovel passes it at
Louisville as well. Robert Griffin sixte, Deshaun Watson sixty seven

(01:26:24):
percent and people forget that Russell Wilson, he was a
fifty percent guy and obviously a better thrower, fifty four
percent guy at nc ST. He goes to Wisconsin and
he completes seventy three percent of his passes. Gina Smith
completed seventy his passes in his final year. Lamar Jackson

(01:26:47):
is just a more athletic Christian Hackenburgh. That's it. He
non an accurate enough passer. And if you talked to
have you talked to any NFL people, they'll tell you
the number one tangible that you have to have is
not even arm strength. It's not arm strength, it's accuracy.

(01:27:11):
Do we know where you're gonna throw it? If you
know where you're gonna throw the ball, do you know
where it's gonna go when you do throw the football?
And so instead we take it to crushing the messenger.
Bill Polian said, he's small. You're not small. He's sixth three.
First of all, he's listed at six three and then
in media six three, and even if he is six three,
six three to ten is really thin for a quarterback.

(01:27:33):
But regardless of which, it's like, look, I do think
that much of a thrower. He's not accurate like the
other guys. What is Bill Polian? No, I don't know.
Didn't he draft Jim Kelly, need draft Paid Manning? Did
he put together the Buffalo Bills and went to three
Super Bowls? Didn he put together the Naples Colts? I
went to two and one one? What does he know

(01:27:53):
more than you? There's your answer? So I never I
have never considered Lamar Jackson in the conversation about this. Now.
Do I think he can play some spot duty? Sure?
Do I think there's a value to him, Absolutely? Absolutely.
But when you've been in college three years with a
coach like Bobby Petrino, who's not a good he's a great,

(01:28:16):
great college offensive coach, and you still can't complete six
your passes, that's an accuracy problem. That's accuracy problem. Ramos,
I have seen three billboards. Have you seen that movie?
I have not? Was it? Francis McDormand won the Best

(01:28:38):
Supporting Actress at the bath To this past weekend, and
she'll probably win the Academy Award as well, So, um, yeah,
I mean it's she's really good. Obviously, people remember her
from Fargo as well as other things she was. She's
excellent in it. And she captures. Do you know what
the premise of the movie is. I know it has
to do with children and like some sort of like

(01:28:58):
a motel or a hotel or something like that. No, nothing,
nothing with the motel, nothing with the motel. Um something
happens to her daughter. She has a mother's pain, and
it's in her search for answers. H in her search
for answers, she finds a way to to call out

(01:29:19):
the police in a very unique fashion, and however by
reacts to it. Is is really what? It's just a
very emotionally gripping um drama. And she's great. Woody Harrelson's great.
Well with the Harrelson place, the sheriff. So there's Severn,

(01:29:39):
There's several actors and actresses that are fantastic in it.
It's a really really sad premise to the movie, like
is it tough? It is not a movie for kids.
I apologize. I was thinking of the Florida Project, so
I get I'm a member of SAgs, so I get
all these movies. I'm slowly going one by one and
I if you don't follow John Romos on Twitter, you

(01:29:59):
shoot it, because RA almost watch his movies and gives
his own take on him. He's our Residents cinephile. I
just saw it and I immediately thought, I wonder what
Ramos thinks of this movie. I thought the score was good,
the script was good, and the acting was as good
or better than the other two. And the other two
were outstanding. I wouldn't be surprised if it crushes the
Academy Awards. It is really a really good film, really

(01:30:21):
good film. And the other part about the film is,
though it's not fun, and there are some funny scenes
to it, though it's not a fun movie. Um, I
just I never liked movies that we're put together to
win awards, Like Lincoln was a movie that I felt was,
you know based obviously you end up, you get, you

(01:30:43):
get you know, an actor who's going to command the
the attention of the award givers, right, But that I
felt like the script, the cinematography, everything was like how
can we win an award instead of how can we
make a really good movie. This one's a really good movie.
It was my quickst side on it. Is Jeremiah next?

(01:31:03):
Rhyme music? Or is he at at forty after the hour?
He's next? All right, we'll get to Danny Jeremiah's thoughts,
Like my thoughts on Lamar Jackson is like, yeah, he
could be a great wide receiver who could be a
backup quarterback as well, could give you. You could do
a lot of different things with him. You could draft
him to be a backup and developed him. And especially
considering how um some of these offenses they're they're trying

(01:31:27):
to incorporate more and more college stuff. Deshaun Watson's running
a college offense. But don't confuse Deshaun Watson, who's taller
and more accurate and a better quarterback than Lamar Jackson,
with Deshaun Watson. I think there's the discernible difference. Danna
Jeremiah used to work in front offices. We'll see if
he agrees or disagrees, right, So we'll discuss that all

(01:31:52):
up coming next. But first I want to tell you

(01:33:18):
Sports Radio. Dana Jeremiah joins us. He's got a great
podcast on the NFL network he and Bucky Brooks is
called Move the Sticks. Uh, DJ, I've been talking about
Lamar Jackson a good amount today and I must be
missing something, Like you know, college success is not necessarily
a prerequisite for NFL success, but college inaccuracy is a

(01:33:41):
pre record is a good uh sign of somebody that's
going to be inaccurate at the NFL level. What's your
assessment of Lamar Jackson and the viability as an NFL
story and starting quarterback. Well, I think it's it's it's
kind of a complicated discussion in that I think he
has the talent to make every throw I've seen him throw,

(01:34:03):
when not only the velocity, I've seen him throw a
touch at times now, he's wildly inconsistent and the reason
for that, in my opinion, is mechanical. He's really really
narrow uh in his base. He's a flipper, he's not
a thrower, so he doesn't really use any of his
lower body. So I actually think there's he's one of
the few I think has a chance to get better
in that area with some mechanical fixes. And you know, look,

(01:34:27):
when you're great in the wide receiver dug and he
has drops. If you can't just talk about the drops,
you have to say, okay, now does he make any
special catches that I can kind of offset some of
these drops? And okay, you have to. You would live
with some of the inaccuracies which you wouldn't normally live
with with other quarterbacks because of the freaky stuff he

(01:34:47):
can do athletically, um to try and make up for
some of that. But he is he ever gonna be
a sixty guy at the next level. I don't think so.
But I think there's there's a shorager quarterbacks and somebody's
gonna try and get creative and try and craft some
thing around when he can't do. Okay, So do you
do is that first day? Is that for the first
he is the first round guy? Then I think he's
going to go on the top forty picks. I really do.

(01:35:09):
And you know, whether that's a late first round pick
or whether that's an early second round pick. I just
think there's such a shortage at the position. And I
think with what Houston did last year in terms of
just turning that offense into what basically was the Clemson offense,
that told departure from everything that that Bill O'Brien has
ever done. I think was a little bit of a

(01:35:31):
blueprint for teams to say, Okay, we can try and
craft this thing. Now. The durability to me would be,
you know something, Okay, can you can you operate like
that and physically hold up That will be something that
will have to be answered that. That's that's my exact
question to you, because when I look at it, I
was like, look, that sounds really really good until I
dig in and understand that not only do you worry

(01:35:54):
about durability and taking hits, but like, look what we
were saying, Deshaun Watson, he got hurt, and I know
he had previously or in a c L but like
that's something that that seems to happen more when you're
out of the pocket and when you're in the pocket. Yeah,
I mean Carson got hurt last year. You know, Wentz
got hurt, and some of that is attributed to being
a little bit reckless, you know. So yeah, I mean
that's that's always going to be a concern and that's

(01:36:15):
why I still when you're starting through all these quarterbacks, UM,
I think one of the aspects you have to talk
about is not only durability, but durability and then also
projecting durability going forward. And that to me is Yeah,
that's the tom It's another feather in in uh in
Sam Donald's cap and that he's built. He's a little
bit sturdier. He could take it. And he's even though

(01:36:35):
it's only two years, he's taking a lot of hits
and he gets up from every one of them. Um,
what what about Baker Mayfield? What are people? Where are
we on the Baker Mayfield discussion as of now? I
think you know you talked to teams during draft meetings
right now, and um, I think there's no middle ground
on Baker Maysfield. People are buying what he's selling or

(01:36:56):
there's people that aren't buying it. There's just you know,
there's there's no but it's in between. UM. I love
personally and we've talked about it. I love the stuff
that he does between the lines, playing the game and
UH and the accuracy and being able to do a
lot of special things. But I think it's in it's
an adult position, it's a mature position, and that's something

(01:37:17):
that I still worries me a little bit, even even
just the stuff that was talking about Texnas the other day. Dude,
just just just be quiet, man. There's there's times to
just lay low and let your actions speak for you.
The way I talked about on a podcast of that.
Kept trying to think of the right way to phrase it, Doug,
trying to find the right words for it. In leaders

(01:37:38):
emotion is important. I like emotion and energy. Emotion is
a big part of that. But when it comes down
to it, I'll take devotion over emotion. Show me what
you're doing, don't tell me what you're doing. Jenna Jeremiah
from the NFL Network joining us on the Doug Otlib
Show on Fox Sports Radio. Let's get the guys in
the league. There's talk of the Jets going, hey, we'll
put sixty million dollars. We'll we'll find a way to

(01:38:00):
create a thing, a bunch of signing bonus money, roster
bonus money, so that it's a completely front loaded deal.
If you're Kirk Cousins, how pealing is that not very
I mean, I don't know how far be it from
me to say tell somebody to take less money. You know,
I get get get what you can get. But if

(01:38:21):
you told me that I could go to Minnesota at
twenty seven million dollars a year or I could go
to the Jets at thirty two million dollars a year,
I know, five million dollars a years a lot of money,
But I think I'd rather go try and win Super
Bowls with the Minnesota but her and and probably you know,
make some of that five million back off the field
because you're on a team that's winning in a in

(01:38:41):
a same as fortunate companies as well as there is
in New York. So I don't know I'd be a
lot more tempted by one of those options. Supposed to
go on to the Jets, I think they're a long
way away. Who of the Vikings quarterbacks appeals to you? Um,
which one of their current Yes? I mean, so, I gosh,

(01:39:03):
just because you don't know what Teddy's health, you don't
know what Bradford's health. I go back to availability being important.
I don't know that I pay case Keenum that franchise
number that they're talking about, and I'm not super bullish
on him long term, but I know he's gonna he's
gonna trot out there, you know, and I've got a
chance to have a functional starter. Um. I think of

(01:39:23):
those three that that would probably be where I lean
right now. Although I think Teddy Um has the most upside,
I just don't know where he's at health wise. That's
the voice of Danny Jeremiah from the NFL Network. He's
joining us on the Doug Gottlib Show here on Fox
Sports Radio. UM Levy on Bell and the discussion over
his contract. If you're in that room, you're deciding, how

(01:39:45):
do you form, Like, what's your opinion on what you
do if you're the Steelers long term? On Levan, that's
a tough one. He is a great, great player, and
he kind of makes that thing though, I would just
be I think I would be cautious about about doing
a long term and deal with that position right now.
I just would. I I look at how cheaply the uh,
the Phiodelphia Eagles acquired their running back talent and the

(01:40:09):
in three backs that that collectively we're good enough for
them to win a championship. That cost him nothing. They
got j J. I E for nothing. They got Garrett
Blunt for nothing. They didn't have to spend a draft
pick on core Corey Clement. So I don't know, it's
just what the way the league is right now. I
don't know that I would go on and put put
all that cash out there in a long term deal

(01:40:30):
and running back. I just wouldn't do it. I wouldn't either.
I wouldn't either. But but um, they feel like they
already have him and their window is you know, does
not appear to be that open for that much longer,
and can you put something together short term in order
to sign him. Um, but you know, you know, it
does go counter to what so many others have done

(01:40:50):
in the National Football League, paying running backs nothing, getting
a bunch of them. One goes down, you replace him,
and and looked no further than the playoffs, not just
the Eagles. And look what the Patriots have done four years.
I'm a heck, even look at what this? Even what
Look what the Saints have done, right? I mean, like, um,
the big name running back they they they sent away
and Alvin Camar is very versatile, but the third round pick,

(01:41:11):
and they got a ton of value out of him. Yeah, yeah,
and I look, I see the you know, the other
side that I've see the Todd Gurleys and the Zeke
Elliott's and the left bells and the impact they've had. Um.
But again I think, I don't know, I'm just beginning
to lean more towards Hey, get him, get him, get him.
As rookies, you know, as bad as it sounds, run
them to the wheels fall off, and then let somebody
else pay them and go get Yeah. What what is

(01:41:34):
the most fast outside of quarterback? What's the most fascinating
position in the upcoming draft? Well, I mean running back
is a good one because we've got a lot of
depth there. Um, it's pretty interesting. I think the corner
group is while it might lack to the you know,
Jalen Ramsey type guy, I think there's a lot of
talent in depth. Maybe you know, for that first two rounds.

(01:41:57):
I think you could see you know, seven or eight
of those guys come off in the first two rounds.
I think that's a really good group. I don't think
it's as deep as last year's was in terms of
getting is main guys, but there's an intriguing list of
names there. I mean it's this jock's Josh Jackson. If
he runs well from from Iowa, He's got the best
ball skills I've seen it a long time because he's

(01:42:18):
a great player. Denzel Ward from Ohio State's really really good.
Jerry Alexander uh from Lindo really really good. So it's
it's a it's a good group of guys up there.
You mentioned running back, say Kwan Barkley is is on
the top of everybody's board. You just said, you're kind
of you've moved kind of off of that idea of
a premier running back. What is his value in comparison

(01:42:38):
to the others? Well, I think he's the best one.
I think he's the best football player in the entire draft.
I really do. And that's where I kind of you know,
it's not like you're almost talking about of both sides
of your mouth, But I'm okay, if you want to
take him and just roll with him for the you know,
get that first contract five years and just get everything
you can, squeeze everything you can out of him for

(01:42:59):
those five years, I think incredibly there. Um, but um,
you know, where is he gonna go? I think teams
are split on that in terms of how how you
take those guys. I could see him, you know, going
in anywhere in the and the any of those any
of those picks. I'd be shocked if he fell out
of the top five, even with the position being where
it is today. I just think the guy is too good. Uh.

(01:43:20):
The Eagles decide that their offensive coordinators gonna be Mike
grow now like Doug Peterson still gonna call the plays.
They're still gonna have Deuce Daley. But they did lose.
They did lose the other two voices kind of in
the room. Uh, I was it Felippo, John Felippo. Yeah,
he went to the Minnesota Vikings, And of course we
know what happened with Frank Reich. What what does this

(01:43:41):
due to change the Eagles offense? Um? Look, I just
knowing all those guys over there, I was there when
Deuce was there. Deuce is a great guy, and he's
got a lot of great, great ideas in the run games.
So keeping him there to keep the run game stabilized
and Doug as the play caller, I don't think you're
gonna see a whole lot of change there. Coach grow
has a great reputation in the league. Um, so, look,

(01:44:04):
you're gonna lose quality people. But that's why you know,
that's that's why it's sustained success. Um, you gotta have
a head coach that can not only identify good coaches,
but recruiting to beyond the staff and continue to develop
them when they're there. So I like the fact those
guys are both inside the building and getting promotions and
they know the lay of the land, they know the personnel.

(01:44:25):
Are you packing right now? What are you doing that
all of a sudden at times your voice appears to
trail off. You guys can hear that too, right, that's
not just me? Are you packing while you're walking around
your your house or something? Um, it is like freezing
in my house right now. So I'm I'm walking around
in my in my master bedroom. It's not like it's
like I'm doing the laughs. It's not that big of
a house, dougs. But I am keeping I am keeping

(01:44:47):
moving to just to just stay warm. I mean, we
get out in California. It was just thirty two degrees
when I got my car this morning. Yeah, it was like,
it's so funny, how and that's exactly something happened to
me this morning. I we my my daughter said something
this morning. They're off on they have ski week vacation. Man,
there's the tough rugged uh. Orange County Education, southern California.

(01:45:08):
They're offer ski weeks. So I got my daughters and
when we hung out this morning, and and somebody said
to a sale with thirty one degrees when but when
it's seventy every day and it's thirty one, you're like, man,
that is cold, as opposed to when it's thirty one
every day and it's twenty, You're like, yeah, it's cool.
But it's you know, it doesn't feel that bad. I think.
I think it's like it's like it's not even sweater

(01:45:29):
weather back east, but it is. It is heavy jacket
weather up here. Yes, it's fifty degrees today in southern California.
And if you were in the Midwest, people would have
t shirts on, tank tops on. They'd be outside celebrating. Meanwhile,
there are women in the West West l A were
wearing fur coats. But and and and look and uh
and doing what's best for your radio show I've sent

(01:45:51):
I'm sitting down and I'm just sitting on my hands,
trying to keep my hands warm. So your your segment
is up you you you did, in fact make it through,
make it through to the finish line. Daniel Jeremiah. Check
out the podcast. It's called Move the Sticks. We're getting

(01:46:38):
question and this is for you, David, This is for everybody.
This for you, music for you Ramos. Have you guys
been watching the Winner Olympics at all? Yes? Yes, partially? Okay?
You know what we need to watch somebody and they
they have an itch and they scratch it. It makes
you itch, you guys know then when you watch the
Winter Olympics, do you get cold? No? No, no, I

(01:47:03):
do cold? I get cold watching I'm like, man, that
looks really cold. You need a blanket over here. Maybe
it's because it actually was cold, but not as cold
as I get cold if there's like an NFL game
where there's a ton of snow or they're talking about
how cold it is and you can see all the
breath coming out of the helmets and stuff. But for
some reason, with the Winter Olympics, I'm just they don't

(01:47:25):
look cold because they're all working so hard. I don't
know what it is, but I don't get it with
the Winter Olympics because where where you're at though, Like
if if you're watching snowboarding, are you cold, or if
it's like inside and speed skating, No, it's more snow
like snowboarding. And now sometimes I don't feel that there
was this cold. Like I saw they were doing some
snowboarding jump some like it was like a ski jump

(01:47:45):
but like snowboarding thing, and they're doing flips whenever, and
I was like, there's just no way I'm ever going
to be able to do that. Um, But I remember
that you could pant other hills and there was no
snow on it, so it almost felt like it was
all man made and it didn't seemed like it was
that cold. But there are other shots which like there's
snow everywhere, the winds whisping, and I just feel I

(01:48:05):
just feel cold watching it. Yeah, I don't feel like
that at all. It is our Johnny Ramos, All right,
what do you got for me? Well, no Olympic news
right now, but something that you and Daniel were actually
talking about. What with the MC grow and do stillium.
A couple of things have happened now. Eagles have elevated
wide receivers coach might Grow to offensive coordiner and in

(01:48:26):
turn they've also promoted Do Steely to assistant head coach.
So that just happened moments ago. Uh, Jaguars have picked
up the tablen merceities Lewis for that Mercedes thirteen years now, Yeah,

small runs, that's about, don't you music? What do you
think that's about? More home runs? Four? Show? Hey o Tani?
What do you think? It's right? Hits right? He left
he he's lefty. Come on, man, I mean it's like

(01:49:53):
like the fact that they do it isn't even you know,
And now he's not gonna be able to play d
h every day. I feel like this is gonna end
up having the opposite the intended effect, right, like, oh
we got show heo Tani and you know, but he's also,
you know a right handed pitcher, you pitching more left lefties.
Feel like somehow it's gonna work out in backfire for
the angels, because that's what always happened for the engine.

(01:50:15):
That's that's not that's not a wrong way of looking
at it. What else? You got a nails? That's it.
That's it for now. That's all you have. Well, we
got plenty of discuss here in a couple of minutes. Okay,
I was gonna say that that was kind of I'm not.
I'm kidding with you. That's all happened. The only thing
colder than winter is winner in California. Getting it's the

(01:50:37):
thought of being stranded in it. That's why auto Zone
offers free battery testing in a wide selection improven, toughter

confidence getting the zone. Auto Zone. Mark Cuban was on,
did you know Dr J had a podcast? I had
no idea. I think that officially qualifies as everyone has
a podcast now, Yes, most definitely this is very true.

(01:51:01):
Like we've been putting together the inner workings of a
basketball only podcast for me with the with the folks
at my heart, and we have a great, there's a
new podcast. I'm not this is like a soft announcement.
There's like an announcement coming to where we're putting together
a boss basketball podcast. Anyway. Um, I was like, look,
I think it's really really cool, but I'm gonna tell

(01:51:22):
you and even though I think there'll be some unique content,
we're doing a different way to other people are doing it. Whatever. Um,
I'm gonna tell you. There's a lot of podcasts out there.
Dr Jay has the podcast. I kind of want to
hear this Dr J podcast, right, Like Dr J is
you gotta be in the sixties and they use the end.
But Dr J Stell appears to be very cool. He was.

(01:51:43):
He was always he had a cool walk. He is
cool nickname at the University of Massachusetts. He was on
Mark Cubans. Mark Cuban was on Dr J's podcast. Here's
the Cuban had to say. I'm probably not supposed to
say this, but like, I just had dinner with a
bunch of our guys the other night and here we are.
You know, we worked a beating for the playoffs. I
was like, look, losing or is our best option? He

(01:52:05):
carry that, but at least I sat down and I
explained it to him, and I explained what our plans
were going to be this summer, that we're not going
to tank again. This is like a year and a
half of tanking and that was too brutal for me.
So we're gonna go out. But being transparent, I think
that's that's the key to being a quotable players owner
and having stability. I don't understand how he thinks this

(01:52:26):
is a good idea to tell people. I agree with
the idea of tanking, and I think if you asked
Mark Cuban, if you ask Mark Cuban in all candordy
and all honesty was taking the initial plan. He was like, no, man,
look you go back and Mark Cuban. When they had
to try to remake this roster a couple of years ago,

(01:52:48):
what did they do. It wasn't just Harrison Barnes. Remember
the year before they tanked, they had Rondo, and Rondo
bailed on them in the playoffs. He shut it down.
But they the first they had Chandler Parsons. I remember
that chance of Parsons and then um they got Wes Matthews. West.
Matthews was coming off a torn achilles. Dirk came back.

(01:53:11):
They got Darren Williams, remember that deal. And the problem
was that between Parsons and his knee, Matthews and his
Achilles tendon, Darren Williams and his body and Darren Willie's
got the fact gene right. I've talked to Mark Cuban
about this. He thought, he thinks he has the best
medical people ever and they diagnosed like that's great. But

(01:53:31):
once you start breaking down, like you're just not gonna
be the same. Taking West Matthews off Achilles tendant surgery,
you have no idea what you're Everybody recovers differently, and
West Matthews has never been the same. He just hasn't.
So I will give Cuban a pass because it wasn't.
He didn't just strip down his entire roster and say

(01:53:51):
we're gonna tank. They got about mid year last year
and it was not working, and he was like, you know, what,
the hell with it? Right out with it. And you
go back and look at just about mid season last year,
they had Harrison Barnes, who has never had a health issue.
Probably not a superstar. He's not a superstar by being
paid as like one. Dirk West Matthew is not the same.

(01:54:13):
Darren Williams was on his last legs and they just
started playing the young dudes. But the first rule of
tank club is don't talk about tank club, especially with
the players. They can assume. Fine, you want to assume
we're taking great. You don't even have to say the

(01:54:34):
word tanking. You just say you just speak in code.
You're just speaking code, and the code is we want
to try and give our young players experience at the
end of games. Last year it was Doran Finney Smith
and Solomn Missouri and Nicholas Brussino, guys that you could

(01:54:57):
not identify if they were sitting next to you, you
could not identify them. That's how you finish the game.
And they're doing the same thing this year. Max Cleber,
Max Cleber finishing up games. Kyle Collinsworth, the six ft
seven non shooting point guard at a B Y U
remember him, Yeah, Antonius Cleveland. I've known basketball for a

(01:55:22):
long time, like I've covered basketball for fifteen years in
the national level. Antonius Cleveland played at Southeast Missouri State.
I have no idea who he is, and he's played
in thirteen games for the Dallas Mavericks. Like you gotta
here some Barnes, You got Dennis Smith, You still have Dirk.
Those guys are great. Let him play. And then at

(01:55:43):
the end of the game you put in Dwight Powell
until he makes too many shots and you take him out.
Max Cleber, Solomna, Jerry Dorry and Finney Smith when he's healthy,
Kyle Collinsworth and some guy named Antonius Cleveland. And you
don't have to You don't have to tell anybody you're
trying to lose. We all kind of know. Um, Mark

(01:56:04):
Cuban is not gonna get in trouble for tanking. Mark
Cuban's gonna get in trouble because he keeps talking about
tanking and then telling his players they're tanking. Next year,
guys are gonna try and win, but this year not
so much. What was I not supposed to say anything?
You're out of fight club. First rule of fight club
is don't talk about fight club. First rule of tank
club is don't talk about tank club. Mark Cuban in

(01:56:30):
a quick response um to Mike Doocey from Fox four,
Cubans said, I'm sure I'll get fined for it, but
I think it was more about being star struck by
Dr j oh come on, man. Sitting next to Dr J.
Mark Cuban's like man, I was. I wasn't gonna say
anything about tanking, but then I was sitting next to
Dr J and I just blurted it out. Things I'm

(01:56:55):
not buying for two Alex, we have some spring raining beef.
I didn't even know spring training and sterned, I'll share
it with the upcoming next. Online shopping can be confusing,
well not anymore. With True Price from True Car. Now
you can know the exact price you'll pay for your
next car. So visit True Car and enjoy more confident

thing colder than winner is the thought of being stranded

Auto Zone. Let's get to the press, the press. David

(01:57:42):
gascon joins us. Dan Buyer will be back sometime in
two thousand nineteen. David hit me with as many how
many stories you got right there? I got six of them.
I'm learning a lot of things about you today. So
story number one you do not talk about Pike Club
set and rule the Fike Club is you do not

(01:58:03):
talk about Fike Club. I just had to get that
out of the way real quick before we continue. Right,
I was wrong, I'm stupid, I'm ugly, you're good looking.
Second story of the day comes into Major League Baseball.
Don Mattingly, manager the Miami Marlins, told Bryce Harper pretty

(01:58:24):
much to kick rocks, and this is what Harper said. Initially,
I was very shocked that they were gonna let go
of yellow Chozuna in Stanton because it's one of the
best outfields in the game. I thought they were a
great team. I think they just had to add a
couple more pictures and they would have been pretty damn good.
So Manningly took exception to it and said, quote, take
care of your own dug out end quote, and he also,
SIT's not really it is Harper's place to comment on us.

(01:58:48):
I don't know. I mean, like, look, maybe it's first
rual tank club is don't talk about tank club, right,
That's that's Don Mattingly what we're taking over here. This
is not gonna be fun with the last thing you
need to do is point it out. You know. The
weird thing about Bryce Harper though, was this is the
same Price Harper who started the press conference saying, I
don't want to talk about next year. If you ask

(01:59:09):
about next year, I'm gonna walk out. If you asked
it at the past, I'm gonna walk out. I just
want to talk about this year. And then he starts
talking about another team. So in that context, yeah, I'm
not a fan of what Harper did. On the other hand, however,
um I do think he's a major voice and he's
all he's doing is saying he thought that those guys

(01:59:31):
are really, really good, and he's kind of bummed out
that they're breaking up a team. So, um, I do
understand that that aspect to it. Moving forward, some more
audio interesting things going on with n double A and
Louisville basketball interim president today, Great Postal talked about everything
that transpired. We believe the n C Double A is

(01:59:53):
simply wrong. I believe that it was important for the
university to have appealed portions of the original decision. We
felt that the young man who achieved these victories and
the thousands of fans who supported them, deserved our best effort.
So the appeal was denied by the n C double
A they help the vacate their national title four ft
millions of dollars and yes, vacates and victories from all

(02:00:17):
the way through. Would be really cool is if they're like,
hey guys, you guys got to send in those championship brings.
Everybody said in the championship brings. Yeah, Um, they're just
gonna take down a banner man, scot it clean like
it didn't happen on that tattoo on your back. Well,
first again, this is just another reason why you never

(02:00:39):
get a tattoo, right, Like, we've gone through it, Like
what I like five minutes ago, I don't like now
let alone, I got like the first season of Narcos,
I don't like any I don't like the second season.
I mean, how many different shows are like that? Um?
The Ripettino tattoo thing was creepy anyway. So I had
a buddy who had played with at him the state

(02:01:00):
who's now in jail. His name's Jason keep Big Daity.
He was known as because he had d A d
y tattooed in his arm. He just got covered up
with some sort of like big falcon or something like that.
You just covered up with like a serpent. How do
you do? Go back to Major League Baseball real quick?
As we talked about yesterday on the show, g D
Martine is getting himself paid ten million dollars five years

(02:01:22):
on a deal by the Boston Red Sox. And David Price,
who was in the media a lot last season for
various reasons, took to the media yet again saying that
Martiniez is gonna get booed. In a quote he said,
oh yeah, he'll get booed. I told g D he
will love the guys here in this clubhouse, but also
told him he'll get booed. He's a quiet, soft spoken guy,

(02:01:44):
but he'll handle it. Besides, everyone gets booed. I heard
big poppy David Ortiz got booed many times at Fenway End.
Quote he never got booted fenwayn That's stupid and that
look is it a fishable as a stew who said
that it was a David Price. That's the stupidest thing her.
David Price, nobody likes you because you could not take criticism.
You got booed because you were bad. That's it. You

(02:02:06):
got a huge chunk money and when you you're bad
and then Dennis actually said something about you and you
took it super personal and he called out Dennis accordsly,
like stop it. David Ortiz didn't get booed when he
was bad. He This is if you want to do
a history lesson David Price school Carl Crawford. Carl Crawford
was a nice guy, really productive in Tampa, came to Boston,
wasn't ready for the fish Bowl and didn't work out.

(02:02:29):
And of course she was part of the deal with
the l A Dodgers. He never lived up to the contract.
That is the press. That's a greater reference point. David
Price gotty wears me out. Oh, David Ortiz got booed?
When tell me when David Ortiz get always beloved. If

(02:02:49):
David Ortiz signed with the Yankees, then he would gotten
booed like Johnny Day even Don John dav't signed with
the Yankees, came back, wasn't booed. They give Isaiah Thomas
a tribute video and he was there for fifteen minutes.
Bill self tomorrow, Chris mannis tomorrow, me tomorrow. Still know
Dan Buyer tomorrow. This is the Doug Godling Show. Fox
