Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ppreciated all you guys texting.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Texting in a lot of movies that get you, get
you a little bit emotional. Had a couple of other
questions coming in here. A good comment from the nine
to nine talking about Nick Bolton says he's a nastyar
Todd Davis type.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, I agree with that. That's that's from Kyle and Fullerton.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Somebody asking here, what is I take on dependent Hunters
forty time and other measurables are to where he falls
in the draft. I don't think they're really relevant, to
be honest with you. Hunter's not you know, I mean,
he's not a four to three guy. He's not gonna
sit there and blow the doors off in terms of
being the fastest guy there. But it'll run plenty fast.
You know, the league knows what he is. You can
(00:40):
loose tape, you know what he is. You know this
isn't a situation where he's a small school guy and
you can't really just like, is this guy just beating
up on you know, guy who are gonna play the
game at a professional level? Or is this you know this
guy really towned No, I mean you played at Colorado,
you know what with Travis Hunter is and you know, again,
I think most people that I've talked to view him as,
you know, a big corner in the league, and you
(01:02):
know he'll get some he'll get some some offensive snaps
as well. You're probably looking at, you know, a couple
of packages. Try to get him five to fifteen plays
a game out there on the offensive side of the ball.
See what happens, and who knows how long that lasts.
I mean at the end of the day, you know,
you get out there, you do a little bit of that,
and then you realize, well, maybe he's just better off
be at a corner or whatever, and you go from there,
or maybe it works out and then you got a
you know, kind of a two way player there.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
So we'll see, we'll see how that goes. Five six, six,
nine zeros of text line.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Nuggets first came back from the All Star beat up
on the Hornets one twenty nine, one fifteen to nine
games in a row, seven in a row by double digits. Man,
the Nuggets are hot, and I think a lot of
that has been the sudden re emergence of one Jamal Murray.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we saw before the All Star break.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I think Jamal scored what like fifty points, and that's
the Jamal Murray or is now most people kind of
look at it playoff. Jamal Murray then hes to somewhat
show up, and you would like to say, with as
long as the NBA scheduler is the way that it is,
that players like Jamal Murray can show up night in
(02:10):
and night out like that. And I think it's very
difficult because there's so many games. Reason my eye, I've
always kind of been an advocate.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
For the league to actually reduce the number of games.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
But seeing Jamal Murray kind of hit us trout at
the right time, especially coming off with All Star Break, you.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Definitely need the team to be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
But also Christian Brown, who Brown Who's been I say
decent this entire time. Like I think it was thirty
three minutes the other night only ten points. Now the
game before the All Star Break forty five minutes and
he put up like.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Twenty twenty one points.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
They're gonna need assistance from some of the other players.
We know what Nicola Jokis can bring, we know what
Jamal Murray can bring when he's bringing his a game,
But they're gonna need players like Christian Brown to actually
stay up if the Nuggets are to kind of get
to where they need to get to. And what I'm
mentioning is back to the NBA playoffs and more importantly
(03:09):
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, Murray over the last ten games, had twenty points
in every game except two, of course, the seventeen point game,
which he only played twenty eight minutes, and then he
had ten points in that second New Orleans game where
he only shot seven times from the field. Other than that,
thirty four, fifty five, thirty twenty, twenty, thirty one, thirty three.
I mean, he's he's putting up points, oh you know,
and he's doing it efficiently from the field. I think
(03:33):
there's only been one night where he's been below fifty
percent from the field. That was the seven of seventeen
night in New Orleans would up with twenty points, but
seven to seventeen, one to four from downtown. Over the
last what four or five games, I mean, it's been
pretty impressive from three point land in from the field.
I mean he's had the worst he's shot from the
field was fifty two point two percent from three point land.
(03:56):
I mean he's had sixty and seventy percent nights, six
of nine, seven to ten, seven to fifteen from downtown.
So when he gets going with the three ball out there,
it really does key this team and get them and
get them going, and I think gets a part of it.
I think if this team is going to be as
effective as possible down the stretch, you know, we talked
about the lack of biggs and the lack of depth
(04:18):
behind Nikola Jokic, Well you can you can compensate that
by having a plenty of guys that can drain it
from outside.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know what, Ben, having guys that can shoot from
beyond the three point line is VIOTU is important. But
we've seen too much in NBA that so many players
depend on that like it's their lifeline so much that
they forget like there's a mere range game and just
kind of getting the old school three pointer, like taking
(04:45):
the ball, driving to the cup, getting the end one
and then getting to the stripe and knock down.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
The free throw.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Maybe just because I grew up in the era where
all around basketball, what was a part of it opposed
to the three point shooting. But looking at the game
against the Hornets, even though I mean oncepion nine one fifteen,
did you anticipate with the team being fourteen and forty
in the Hornets that maybe the Nuggets should have beat
(05:13):
him by like maybe twenty twenty five points.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I mean to me, you know, a double digit
wins A double digit I don't I don't really care
after that, Like, yeah, they probably should have put a
little bit more. You know, maybe on a bad basketball team.
You are the number one scoring team in the NBA.
You're averaging a one twenty two at night. But you know, again,
(05:38):
you got to you got to a point where you
were comfortably ahead at that point. For me, I'm trying
to rest guys, you know, Like when I look at it,
when I'm if I'm sitting there and I'm up that
that big for me the way I look at it,
I'm trying to get other.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Guys in here.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm trying to get more more comfortable in the court
with something, and I'm trying to find some kind.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Of depth because like I said, we need a big man.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
We got to find another big to give Nicola some
rest of minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Where am I going to find that?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Is this an opportunity for me to put other guys
out there or the court, get them comfortable, whether that's
a Naji or a DeAndre Jordan, even though we kind
of know what he.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Is because he's been around forever. You know. That's what
I would be using those moments for.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
For me, I want to see from the Nuggets because
they have a nice little road trip on the East
Coast road trip after the game against the Lakers, and
when you look at the home in the way, and
this has been one of these things that the Nuggets
have had to endure for a couple of years. I mean,
great home rerecord, obviously, great home crowd, the U factor
(06:43):
in the altitude being something that kind of helping the
Nuggets in a way because at home they're twenty and eight.
On the road they are seventeen and eleven, and they
got a back to back coming up, like after this,
they got four games on the road at the Pacers,
at Milwaukee, at Detroit, at Boston. But then you look
(07:05):
at Milwaukee and Detroit, those are two back to backs,
right and obviously I expect the Nuggets to win most
of these games, especially that Detroit game, but playing back
to backs on the East Coast road trip can prove
very difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So I would love.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
To see the Nuggets become better of a road team
because and I know what the plan is like before
when they won a championship, when as many games as
you can do great at home.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Be a top seed.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Now you're hosting throughout right right now, when you look
at the see the standings, I think the Nuggets are
third in the Western Conference behind the Grizzlies, and okay see,
and okay see, they're trying to be that number one
seed where everyone's got to come to them.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
So when you look at the.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Nuggets not being able to really win games on the road,
would you basically say that has a lot to do
with the altitude?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Is that something else? Well?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I mean, you got you got to play for that
home I mean, okay, okay see, is such a tough
you got to play for the home stuff anyway, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But but as you are, if you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Get double digit leads in the fourth, you gotta find
ways to get in the cool arrest because you go
to need him for those series especially.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I guess, okay see, where's that coming from? That? That's
what that's what I think. They're the number two seed now.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Grant was just pointing out they're actually up a half
game on Memphis. But still, I mean you're talking about
you know, you talk about a tough road to hoe
with that that stretch coming up here.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Four games on the road, you got back to back.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Detroit's not as uh, I don't think as tough as
uh as Milwaukee is. But you know, certainly you've got
you know, you've got matchups here that that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think are uh. Then I think you're tough.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And the Boston you know, to cap that thing off,
I mean, Boston's what forty and forty and sixteen, they're uh,
and they've been pretty hot. I think they're one eight
of their last ten.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's that, and that's always an adventure.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
It's a I think the one thing I think about
this though, is just I think that the Nuggets match
up well with Boston because Boston is a perimeter shooting team,
and they kind of match up well with them. I
think it's the teams like the Okacs that have that
double big man that they could really use that really
would give them fits in lengthy stretches.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
See, this is the crazy part about Boston and Denver.
They're like two polar opposites, like Boston is seventeen and
ten at home, but they're a better road team six,
which is which is crazy, but it does for the
mentality of knowing is though you can go into any
other teams arena and you can still pull out those games.
(09:39):
That's that's important. But you bring up a very good
point about Boston. They are a perimeter shooting team. It's like,
it seemed like every person on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Their roster shoots three pointers.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
And the one thing that they do is they follow
up those three point shots. It's something that you taught
and I mean, I mean in high school, right, always
follow your shots. And they do a great job of
following their shots. But they have a bunch of players
that are excellent marksmen from outside the perimeter.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well yeah, and that's the thing, I mean, even their
center of port thingers, you know, is a shoot you
can shoot. They use Jason Tatum as a power forward
even though he's probably more of a natural three, you know.
And and so it's and then you use Jalen Brown
at the three, even though he's probably more of a
natural shooting guard.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And that allows you to get Jayrew Holliday on there
as the two and use Derek White as the one.
So it's it's a it's a team designed with with
basically a big and four perimeter guys, but they're big,
can rotate out to the line and shoot as well well.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And this is for me after the Lakers game, this
is gonna be a huge test for the Nuggets because
when you look at the teams that they have to play, Pacers, Bucks, Pissing, Celtics,
a lot of those teams when you look at the
Eastern Conference, their records a little skew when they look
if you where the comparitive to get some Western Conference.
But at the same time, those teams are either fourth,
(10:59):
fifth or sixth. And knowing as though you're gonna come
off a back to back against the Pistons, you're gonna
have a little time off before you played the Celtics game,
but you round out with the Celtics. For me, that's
gonna tell me a lot about the Nuggets and what
their mentality is for the rest of the season, because
usually after the All Star break, this is like if
(11:19):
you if you were not serious before.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now it was like we gotta dial in.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So it's gonna be this stretch here is gonna say
a lot about the Nuggets moving forward.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is I need to get porterback on track. That
was a bad showing against Charlotte. He was what two
of eleven from the field only had only wound up
with six points. That was covered up by the fact
that Jamal put together another big night with thirty four.
It was twelve to eighteen Jok Chill was one assist
away from the triple double. Porter, to his credit, was
contributing on the rebounds. He had eleven of them. But
(11:50):
two of eleven from the field is not getting it done,
especially when Russ Westbrook was coming back off injury.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Also three of ten from the field.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And then we saw late in the game, like I said,
they try to get in and do abreage orde out there.
See if one of these guys can provide late minutes
or provide minutes rather.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Off the bench for to Kohli Yok as you get
down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, but here's the thing for me, when we look
at Michael Port's junion and it's real symbol, it is
really basic. I mean, your shot may not be falling
every single night, right Like, no one, unless I'm mistaken,
is looking for Michael Porter Junior to have nights like
the Kohli Yokis and Jamal Murray. It would be great
(12:27):
if he was able to do that, right, But just
being realistic about the situation, I don't expect him.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
To do that. You're gonna have off nights. Well, what
I don't expect for you to.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Have an off night is when it comes to rebounding
on both ends of the floor.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So if your shot is not falling, I mean, you're.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Diving for the fifty to fifty boss, you're trying to
set everyone else up. You get your hand in the
passing lanes, but more importantly, you're grabbing rebounds. How difficult
could that be for someone who's really tall?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Well, and he's been back and forth because he had
three straight nights a great you know, three straight games,
I should say, a great shooting before the All Star
and he hit the All Star break and the wheels
came off for a second there because he was thirty six,
thirty nine thirty. You know, he had three straight games
where he's put up the points and he didn't, at
least like I said, he did wind up with the
eleven boards, six defense and five offensive boards in that game.
That's that's at least contributing if your SHOT's not falling,
(13:15):
but two of eleven is pretty rough outing.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
But that's kind of the difference in Michael Porter's growth
as a player. Right Like years past when he had
an off shooting night, he did nothing well contribute.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Otherwise, he still doesn't play.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Much defense, but he at least tracks his shots and
he'll at least track the ball well.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I mean when grand points out is very valid point.
That is what we've seen from MPJ. That's why when
we look at him and say, okay, well he's getting
paid max dollars, but you're not getting max performance right, right,
But we know that he's a streak of shooting shooter
and it's gonna be some nights where he's not gonna
be on. But this is where I say, well, as
a player, you can go out there, you can grab boys,
(13:53):
because for me, that's effort, right, that's that's ever And
I think that Nuggets fans would be happy if his
shot isn't falling, but he's still playing defense, he's still
contributing and getting them out.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
In transition to me, you're still you're still helping the team. Yeah,
as long as he's doing that, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, you could come away with a bad shooting
night and be a be a you know, a double
digit rebounder. I'm okay with that, you know the end
of the day. I mean, you can go back and look,
if you can get double digit rebounds night in night out,
that that's that is something in and of itself. You
go back and look, I mean, Des Robbin made a
career out of it, right if if you could do that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Chipping in on offense is good, and he is chipped
in an offense, but you can't be the two of
eleven guy either. That's liability on offense.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Okay, but so that's two of eleven. See, it would
be an issue for me if it were it became consistent, right,
I mean what, let's be realistic about the situation, Ben,
I mean, how many points do you think from here
on out that Michael porter Junian You'd be okay with
Michael Porter Junior scoring on a game the game basis
(14:54):
just just kind of a base number that he's okay,
he's in the mix, and the office is still in
some kind.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Of flo You need to see him twelve to fifteen
at night.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I mean that's I don't think that's too much to
ask for somebody that's getting his kind of money for
what he does.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Twelve points to fifteen points at night is not too big,
too big.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
An assay, Okay, see, I would like I'm like Grant,
I would like to see him get.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A little bit more, but I'm okay at that if
the rebounding effort, right, So, if he has fifteen points
but he's got eighteen rebounds, yeah, oh, I'm totally fine
with that. He got eleven points, you got eighteen you
got eighteen boards. You can pretty much be excused the
rest of the night on everything else.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
You eighteen boards, well, especially if you if you're talking
about offensive rebounds, because this is the second chest Semon
chance opportunity, right, Yes, if he's able to do that now,
I think coach Malowe would definitely be happy with that,
even though his offensive production is not where he wants it.
But the defensive production has now gone off, gone up
in ways.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That we've not seen in years past, right, And so
that I think at the end of the day, that's
the thing is like I don't need him scoring dropping
thirty every night, but I do if he's not having
a good night.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Where he's like I said, two of eleven from the
field or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Then I need you to pick up the rebounding make
sure everbody else is getting second chance.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
If you're shoting fallen.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I'm fine with that because now now you're distributing the
ball and you're giving it to Nicola yocause you've given
it to Jamal Mury. But also you're keeping the offense
in some kind of a flow. And now you're giving
the other offensive players who are having a great night,
could be Aaron Gord, you're giving them more opportunities.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah. Six back, we come back, rockets Country to night.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Shout out to our good friend Brix who agreed with
me Guardians of the Galaxy three mad or tier up.
As far as movies, I mean, Brie said, from beginning
to the end, Okay, well that might that might have
been a bit of stretch for me. Maybe not beginning
to end. Like the parts that were gross when they
were getting on that gross little ship or whatever, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Uh, like that that was that didn't make me cry.
I was just like, oh, that's that's gross.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And I can see the whole thing with racket rocket Raycoon.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yes, those types of the part like that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You know, when you find out like that, that part
gotta be best. Anyway, I'm just saying that was one
there was. There's a lot of good. You go go
to Nick Ferguson's Twitter account there and you can see
he's get the video and all the responsors that are
in there with h from various different people with that stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
For the NFL six It's time for the NFL six pack.
I'm gonna trace the last yeer.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Insight and inside information you can't find anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No. Six the top six NFL headlines.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the Steelers have added a veteran offensive player. Broncos
fans may know who he is. They announced today, Hey,
the club is side tight end Donald Parham. Barham, who
was twenty seven, spent four seasons with the Chargers, catching
sixty seven passes seven hundred sixty four yards eleven touchdowns
in forty seven games.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It was on the Broncos practice squad all.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Year, but did not appear in any games. Parm's contract
is for one year. Did the Broncos least an opportunity
with Donald Parham here in Denver?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Dude, I remember watching I'll say for me, yes, because
I remember watching parm in the XFL and he was
extraordinary inside the.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Redson He's six eight. Nobody could get him.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I've seen this dude a couple of times on the
field and he's such a tall, lean type of guy,
an NBA power forward, And I was.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Always thinking, Okay, with the issues that the Broncos were
having at the tight end.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Position, why not putting out there. What's the worst that
could happen?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Someone else could see him and plug him off your roster.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
They did that anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yes, So I was hoping at some point last season
the Broncos will put Palm out there so we can
at least see where he was capable of doing. A
dude that's six ' eight, just throw it up there,
Just throw job, yeah, Luster fanning that.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Two.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Soon to be free edge quarterback Aaron Rodgers has two
factors regarding his next team. One is obvious. The other
becomes a lot fuzzier and will probably limit his options. First,
as Rogers said, they have.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
To watch you. That's true for any transaction.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
If the team doesn't want the player, it's hard for
the player to play for the team.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
But second, Rogers also said it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Needs to be a quote good team.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So which teams would qualify?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Several teams are likely, if not definitely, looking for twenty
twenty five starters. You know, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Raiders, Giants, any.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Of those any good?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The objective assessment is irrelevant. Rodgers opinions the only one
that really matters here. Of course, a not good team
can become a good team if.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Aaron Rodgers were to play well. The Boddy didn't apply
that caveat.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
He just said a good team, presumably with or without
him from that list.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
So who's good? The Steelers obviously would be the best
of that bunch.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They made the playoffs, but without the kind of high
end quarterback that Rogers said his peak could provide the
Titans or a weak division Rogers could allow them to
compete with the Texans for the AFC South title. The
issue in Nashville continues to be the presence of thirteen
year Packers executive Chad Brinker is the latest guy with
final say over the football operation.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Does he want a Rodgers reunion? Does Rogers give it?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
A well documented feelings about the Green Bay front office?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
What breaker.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Lee Brown's could be a good team. It's harder to
make that argument when their best player wants out. However,
the Giants, who seemingly need more help than Rogers, could
supply to compete with the Eagles, Commanders, and Cowboys other teams.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
The Vikings would have.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
To decide whether to roll with JJ McCarthy if they
trade Matt Stafford. The Colts could want an in house
alternative dan Adity richardson the Saints. I don't think they
can a forty thing the Dolphins, but that would be
a backup to Tua.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Is he gonna do that? Probably not.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So what do we think about Aaron Rodgers? Is there
even a landing spot?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I don't know, man, Maybe the Steelers if they move
on from Russ.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I mean you talked about Brock Purdy not being on
the same page with the forty nine Ers on a contract.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Maybe if those are good teams and Aaron Rodgers eyes they're.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Going to the team that passed over you for Alex
Smith back in the day.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We'll consider the fact that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You look at Aaron Rodgers and he's kind of taken
somewhat of a Brett fav approach.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He's already gone to the Jets. So he didn't send
any pictures to anybody that I don't well know he didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But he went from the Packers to the Jets, So
why not go to the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
They don't want them, but they don't watch him.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Look right now, be in a situation where Tam donok
who could walk right unless they put.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The franchise tag on it? Right?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And now, the idea is that you have a young
quarterback in the waiting, why not have Aaron Rodgers there
for a year or two years to kind of mentor
him in a little way, right, show what to do,
what not to do.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
But now you want to go to a team that's
capable of winning right now?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What other teams the teams that you guys gave those
teams are ready to win right now?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Maybe maybe the Steelers maybe the only team.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
But if you can work out something with Minnesota, I
would love to see Aaron Rodgers in the same division
with his Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Do you think you can take JJ McCarthy on a
darkness retreat or maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Look, if he wants to teach, J. J. McCarthy would
not to do. He doesn't even need to be on
the Vikings roster for that I can just put on table.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Here's his cruise where he.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Telling everybody got to break distractions in it, then hires
a Netflix s crew to document as every move.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I was on a Vikings podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Last week or whatever. They asked me about this, and
I said I would retire if he goes to the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So there you go. That's how sure I am that one.
Remember he said that this is twice.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Hey, I might get my opportunity here not falling in
as a host.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Take it over that all a sudden, everybody's rooting for
Aaron Rodgers to go to Minnesota. Just to you know.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
That's like that media poll that they're doing right now,
the media accounts or whatever. They had me and Ryan
against each other.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I saw that now, I saw that you really wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You already tweeted it twice. I did one of my
fourteen votes. What's it? That close? Was that close? Wow? Mostly?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And I was telling Ryan this play it was like, dude,
I don't actually care about this. The only reason I
cares because there's such a concerted effort from the people
that hate me to have somebody beat me.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That that's the only reason I keep.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Just do just to mess, just to show them every
single time that you can't. So you're in the final four, now, yeah,
I'm up against In fact, it looks like I'm gonna win.
I'm up against Ryan Coningsberg here, probably me and Brandon
a head to head for the most popular one.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
We get Ryan Conisberg on the show next week.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Past numbers out to be an admirable loss, though, I
mean that's if you're gonna go down like.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I got it. Three Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
In addition to informing tight end generals Everett that they're
going to release him, said that they are going to
release vetteran defensive end to Marcus Walker. Releasing Walker's tight end,
Gerald Everett we'll save the Bears more than ten million
in salary cap space. Walker was scheduled to make five
point two million in base salary at count five point
nine to one to six against the cap. He started
all seventeen games for the Bears last season at forty
seven tackles, three and a half sacks, sixteen quarterback hits.
(23:38):
The Broncos made Walker a second round pickback in twenty seventeen.
Spent four seasons in Denver, won a Houston won in
Tennessee two in Chicago. Now heads back to the free
agent market ahead of the opening of free agency. Walker,
who's thirty, signed a three mirror twenty one million dollars
deal with the Bears back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
He was lasted free agent.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
At fifteen point six million guaranteed money, and it's played
relatively well last year. Who we surprised to Marcus Walker
being moved on from Oh not really, But I'll say this,
He's had a great career.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Thus far based on how it actually started. Being here
and not knowing where they.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Wanted to play him being someone the between her losing weight,
gaining weight, being played out of position now and going
to Chicago getting significant playing time but also significant cash
in his pocket. So these are always sometimes and teams
got to make financial decisions as they look to move on.
Sometimes they got to trim some fat, and sometimes it's
a lot of players on the roster.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
After I mean, he his last two seasons in Denver,
he had four and four and a half sacks. After
that he had Houston wasn't great, but he had seven
sacks when he's there in Tennessee and parlayed that into
that deal with the Bearers were.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
At seven sacks over the last two seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Any chance you think he reunites with the Vans, Joseph.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, anything is capable of happening, but I think before
the Broncos do that, they want to save a lot
of those spots for some young guys, So I don't
think overall now, I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Or Former Ravens linebackers Tourell Suggs plead guilty to a
reduced charge during a Thursday pre trial hearing in Arizona
and bels Some of The Baltimore Sun reports Suggs, forty two,
schedule for sentencing on April first. His criminal case stems
from a March incident last year. Or Suggs allegedly threatened
to kill a motorist and pulled a gun after backing into.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The driver's vehicle in a Starbucks drive through.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Police arrested Suggs in April, charged with felony, disorderly conduct
involving a weapon, and misdemeanor intimidation. He pleaded not guilty
and insisted the other driver was the instigator. On Thursday,
he pled guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct with
a weapon that was reduced to an undesignated offense, meaning
he could ask the court to treat it as abys demeanor.
Representative for Suggs told the newspaper that the retired players
(25:42):
relieved that he can now put this unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Incident behind him.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Suggs was one of fifteen finalists for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty five, and he'd
not earned in shrinent for the year. Played sixteen seasons
for the Ravens, finishing his career in twenty nineteen with
the Cardinals and the Chiefs, one hundred and thirty nine sacks,
two hundred two tackles for a lost two hundred quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hits for his career.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Where we think about Terrell Suggs, Well, you know what.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
As a FOMA player, obviously you don't want to have
your name in the media when you're playing and when.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You're not playing.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And I can't help but think based on what we
saw last week in New Orleans where the Hall of
Fame class was announced, and knowing as though Suggs has
more sacks than Jared Allen, but Jared Allen was the
one that was selected, so this may be ten to
four a half.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I'm thinking that maybe this situation.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
You're talking about have a little to do with the
decision whether to put Suggs in over Jared Allen.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Maybe might have. I mean, you know that kind of
stuff can't affect things, so.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
You know, sounds like you don't mess with Terrell Suggs
before he gets his Starby's.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I'm just saying, yeah, let that man. Let that man
get his get his sausage Jacob.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And a cheese croissant and the half calf whatever it
is that he's drinking.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Do you think he's a pumpkin spice guy. I can't
see that. Nah, I don't see that by probably a
dragonfruit lemonade refresher. Yeah, like a real man. Why does
he appoint it yourself? Because that's what I get what
I there.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Some NFL players choose to represent themselves, for many either
better off being handled by a good agent. Only two
in the incoming class have a Hall of Fame father
who's also an accomplished college football coach.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In the list of new players and agents.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Distributed by the nfl PA, two names don't appear, Chaduura
and Shiloh Sanders means they if yet to hire agents,
which also means that with the scouting Combined days away,
they probably don't plan to. The belief in league circles
is that their father Dion will advise them, which makes
sense for several reasons. First, when it comes to rookie contracts,
there's really not much to negotiate, even if and when
Shador goes early and Shiloh, who wasn't invited to Combine,
(27:42):
goes late. The labor deal has simplified the process of
hammering out entry level contracts, and Chadors expected to be
one of the first quarterbacks drafted. He'll join the likes
of Kayleb Williams Lamar Jackson's high end quarterbacks who opted
not to hire an agent. For Kaylin Williams, having an
agent didn't matter because he was the consensus no brainer
number one. For Lamar Jackson, not having an established agent
defend off pre draft nonsense like he should change positions
(28:03):
and all that kind of stuff might have contributed to
him sliding all the way to thirty two. Shador will
have a hype man and a defender at Dion. If
anyone starts spreading about Shadur what Dion would call a
quote bull junk, and Dion will engage and he's got
the platform and obviously the voice the register dean diver
players to decide what's what's in their best interest For
those looking simply to avoid paying a percentage to an
(28:23):
agent by lining up a team of unlicensed by the
NFLPA agents, bookkeepers, lawyers, et cetera to send to receive
Dunny emails or might be a better approach. For Shade
and Shiloh, they've decided to smart most do it themselves
with Dion's help, which means that for them, their interests
will be protected and advanced. What do we think about
Dion de facto representing his sons going into this process. I,
(28:44):
for one, love it because Dion has been through the process.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
He's got a lot of cachet that comes in and
the guys get in the game right, He's got stuff,
you know, scans on the wall where you can say,
I've been in this situation, I've done the line, I've
seen a lot and I know what my son, Shudas
Sanders can do. But he's going to have to do
a lot more promoting for Shallow as well.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, I think it's a give and take because obviously
Dio's got the experience, he's been through the process, and
certainly there's not much to negotiating rookie contracts. There's slotted
contracts anyway, so there's not really much to that portion
of it, just the public relations portion of it as
you lead up to this thing. But the flip side
of these seas, it doesn't take anything away from teams
who are concerned that Dion might be alikopter parent for
one of those two if they draft.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
L Well, I mean, for me, how many parents find
themselves in this situation. We've seen it before when John
Elway didn't want to go to the Coasts. We've seen
it before when Elon Manning didn't want to go and
play for the Charges and he ended up going and
being traded to the New York Giants. So we've seen
this before. We're just seen it with Coach Prime. And
(29:49):
if he can actually pull this off, and I understand
it as a parent, he wants your kids to be
set up well. If he can use his no riding
to be able to do it, so do it, so
be it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, there's like I said, there's just a a little
bit of a I guess there's a concern that you
get kind of like a LeVar Ball type situation which
shout out to him.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
By the way it did his foot it potated. I
don't know if you guys saw that or not. Yeah,
Lvar Ball had a medical coup case that it's foot edutated.
But you know, in the end, I mean LeVar I
think he did well by his sons, even if people
found him obnoxious. Six the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Again wide receiver demo Samuel promission to seek a trade.
Some teams are exploring the possibility, but those teams also
think Samuel may soon be available without having to give
anything up for him. Several teams have expressed interest in
trading for Samuel, Jeremy Fowler reported on ESPN. However, Fowler
suggested that teams think the Niners will cut Samuel they
don't work out of trade, which means the smart move
for a team interested might be to wait.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
The Niners would seem to need to make a decision
before March twenty second.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
That's the date by which they would owe him a
fifteen point philly four million dollar option bonus if he
still have a team Samuel coming off a highly disappointing
season which he averaged a career low four to four
point seven receiving yards per game. He has shown enough
of an ability to make plays in the past that
some teams may still be interested.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
In adding him.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
The Niners won't have a lot of leverage in trade
talks at a time. What it looks like they may
be ready to move on and have till March twenty
second to save the money.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What do we think about Debo probably hitting the open market.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I like the idea, and then I mean the strategy
of saying, so, here is.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
A great player that we could use on our team.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And the forty nine ers may be they may ask
for dot a king's ransom. Let's just say, they may
ask for maybe two number twos or something like that,
and you may said, well, that's a little too rich
for my blood.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Then you wait, as they say, stall them out, de bowl,
stall them out, I say, Deebo, come and hide your chains.
I'm just kidding real quick.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah. LaVar Ball made a name for himself with grandiose
plan for his kids. Create the Big Bowler brand, the
signature shoes, countless headlines for all those bold declarations, but
he had to have his right foot amputated after a
after a medical issues distanced himself in the spotlight and
obviously recent years, but certainly has been was a pervasive
presence for a while there with this with his son's
(31:59):
family has put out any statement, although there's a picture
of him missing his uh, his right foot and you
know and blow down there out there us making the rounds,
so you know, shout out to to lebar Ball.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Have you listened to his uh middle son's song?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I don't listen. Yeah, I don't listen. He had the song, yeah,
performed at the NBA All Stars. Get some kind of
rap thing going on?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Wait, wait, so there's LaMelo le Angelo li Angelo.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yes, that's the one who has a song really has
taken the world by a storm.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
No kidding, I haven't heard it, but I had. This
is this is news to me.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And then once again, I didn't watch the NBA All
Star Game live to even to see that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I'm gonna have to check that now. Is it under
what is his name again? Leangelo Leangelo? Hmm.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Sounded like a kid from my neighborhood whose parents love
Gello so much that they named the kids at the
Gello we had.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I mean, everybody remembers Lonzo Ball yet, right, and yeah, Lamela,
everybody knows LaMelo.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He's the middle one. He's the shot garden. It's tough
being the middle kid. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah. So and
it was by far the worst at basketball. Well yeah,
this is of the three, he's the least tell it's
the bastball players. So he's got a hit song. I
guess according to you.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Gret, maybe that'll maybe that'll work out for him thanke
you correct, Maroo's.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Cut you to that pulls up? You try to break
me down? Why do you find glory and making me cry?
Your soul is mine
Ppreciated all you guys texting.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Texting in a lot of movies that get you, get
you a little bit emotional. Had a couple of other
questions coming in here. A good comment from the nine
to nine talking about Nick Bolton says he's a nastyar
Todd Davis type.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Yeah, I agree with that. That's that's from Kyle and Fullerton.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Somebody asking here, what is I take on dependent Hunters
forty time and other measurables are to where he falls
in the draft. I don't think they're really relevant, to
be honest with you. Hunter's not you know, I mean,
he's not a four to three guy. He's not gonna
sit there and blow the doors off in terms of
being the fastest guy there. But it'll run plenty fast.
You know, the league knows what he is. You can
(00:40):
loose tape, you know what he is. You know this
isn't a situation where he's a small school guy and
you can't really just like, is this guy just beating
up on you know, guy who are gonna play the
game at a professional level? Or is this you know this
guy really towned No, I mean you played at Colorado,
you know what with Travis Hunter is and you know, again,
I think most people that I've talked to view him as,
you know, a big corner in the league, and you
(01:02):
know he'll get some he'll get some some offensive snaps
as well. You're probably looking at, you know, a couple
of packages. Try to get him five to fifteen plays
a game out there on the offensive side of the ball.
See what happens, and who knows how long that lasts.
I mean at the end of the day, you know,
you get out there, you do a little bit of that,
and then you realize, well, maybe he's just better off
be at a corner or whatever, and you go from there,
or maybe it works out and then you got a
you know, kind of a two way player there.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
So we'll see, we'll see how that goes. Five six, six,
nine zeros of text line.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Nuggets first came back from the All Star beat up
on the Hornets one twenty nine, one fifteen to nine
games in a row, seven in a row by double digits. Man,
the Nuggets are hot, and I think a lot of
that has been the sudden re emergence of one Jamal Murray.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, we saw before the All Star break.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
I think Jamal scored what like fifty points, and that's
the Jamal Murray or is now most people kind of
look at it playoff. Jamal Murray then hes to somewhat
show up, and you would like to say, with as
long as the NBA scheduler is the way that it is,
that players like Jamal Murray can show up night in
(02:10):
and night out like that. And I think it's very
difficult because there's so many games. Reason my eye, I've
always kind of been an advocate.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
For the league to actually reduce the number of games.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
But seeing Jamal Murray kind of hit us trout at
the right time, especially coming off with All Star Break, you.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Definitely need the team to be able to do that.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
But also Christian Brown, who Brown Who's been I say
decent this entire time. Like I think it was thirty
three minutes the other night only ten points. Now the
game before the All Star Break forty five minutes and
he put up like.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Twenty twenty one points.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
They're gonna need assistance from some of the other players.
We know what Nicola Jokis can bring, we know what
Jamal Murray can bring when he's bringing his a game,
But they're gonna need players like Christian Brown to actually
stay up if the Nuggets are to kind of get
to where they need to get to. And what I'm
mentioning is back to the NBA playoffs and more importantly
(03:09):
the NBA Finals.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, Murray over the last ten games, had twenty points
in every game except two, of course, the seventeen point game,
which he only played twenty eight minutes, and then he
had ten points in that second New Orleans game where
he only shot seven times from the field. Other than that,
thirty four, fifty five, thirty twenty, twenty, thirty one, thirty three.
I mean, he's he's putting up points, oh you know,
and he's doing it efficiently from the field. I think
(03:33):
there's only been one night where he's been below fifty
percent from the field. That was the seven of seventeen
night in New Orleans would up with twenty points, but
seven to seventeen, one to four from downtown. Over the
last what four or five games, I mean, it's been
pretty impressive from three point land in from the field.
I mean he's had the worst he's shot from the
field was fifty two point two percent from three point land.
(03:56):
I mean he's had sixty and seventy percent nights, six
of nine, seven to ten, seven to fifteen from downtown.
So when he gets going with the three ball out there,
it really does key this team and get them and
get them going, and I think gets a part of it.
I think if this team is going to be as
effective as possible down the stretch, you know, we talked
about the lack of biggs and the lack of depth
(04:18):
behind Nikola Jokic, Well you can you can compensate that
by having a plenty of guys that can drain it
from outside.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
You know what, Ben, having guys that can shoot from
beyond the three point line is VIOTU is important. But
we've seen too much in NBA that so many players
depend on that like it's their lifeline so much that
they forget like there's a mere range game and just
kind of getting the old school three pointer, like taking
(04:45):
the ball, driving to the cup, getting the end one
and then getting to the stripe and knock down.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
The free throw.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
Maybe just because I grew up in the era where
all around basketball, what was a part of it opposed
to the three point shooting. But looking at the game
against the Hornets, even though I mean oncepion nine one fifteen,
did you anticipate with the team being fourteen and forty
in the Hornets that maybe the Nuggets should have beat
(05:13):
him by like maybe twenty twenty five points.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Well, I mean to me, you know, a double digit
wins A double digit I don't I don't really care
after that, Like, yeah, they probably should have put a
little bit more. You know, maybe on a bad basketball team.
You are the number one scoring team in the NBA.
You're averaging a one twenty two at night. But you know, again,
(05:38):
you got to you got to a point where you
were comfortably ahead at that point. For me, I'm trying
to rest guys, you know, Like when I look at it,
when I'm if I'm sitting there and I'm up that
that big for me the way I look at it,
I'm trying to get other.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Guys in here.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm trying to get more more comfortable in the court
with something, and I'm trying to find some kind.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Of depth because like I said, we need a big man.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
We got to find another big to give Nicola some
rest of minutes.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Where am I going to find that?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Is this an opportunity for me to put other guys
out there or the court, get them comfortable, whether that's
a Naji or a DeAndre Jordan, even though we kind
of know what he.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Is because he's been around forever. You know. That's what
I would be using those moments for.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
For me, I want to see from the Nuggets because
they have a nice little road trip on the East
Coast road trip after the game against the Lakers, and
when you look at the home in the way, and
this has been one of these things that the Nuggets
have had to endure for a couple of years. I mean,
great home rerecord, obviously, great home crowd, the U factor
(06:43):
in the altitude being something that kind of helping the
Nuggets in a way because at home they're twenty and eight.
On the road they are seventeen and eleven, and they
got a back to back coming up, like after this,
they got four games on the road at the Pacers,
at Milwaukee, at Detroit, at Boston. But then you look
(07:05):
at Milwaukee and Detroit, those are two back to backs,
right and obviously I expect the Nuggets to win most
of these games, especially that Detroit game, but playing back
to backs on the East Coast road trip can prove
very difficult.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
So I would love.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
To see the Nuggets become better of a road team
because and I know what the plan is like before
when they won a championship, when as many games as
you can do great at home.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Be a top seed.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Now you're hosting throughout right right now, when you look
at the see the standings, I think the Nuggets are
third in the Western Conference behind the Grizzlies, and okay see,
and okay see, they're trying to be that number one
seed where everyone's got to come to them.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
So when you look at the.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Nuggets not being able to really win games on the road,
would you basically say that has a lot to do
with the altitude?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Is that something else? Well?
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I mean, you got you got to play for that
home I mean, okay, okay see, is such a tough
you got to play for the home stuff anyway, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
But but as you are, if you.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Get double digit leads in the fourth, you gotta find
ways to get in the cool arrest because you go
to need him for those series especially.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I guess, okay see, where's that coming from? That? That's
what that's what I think. They're the number two seed now.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
Grant was just pointing out they're actually up a half
game on Memphis. But still, I mean you're talking about
you know, you talk about a tough road to hoe
with that that stretch coming up here.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Four games on the road, you got back to back.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Detroit's not as uh, I don't think as tough as
uh as Milwaukee is. But you know, certainly you've got
you know, you've got matchups here that that.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
I think are uh. Then I think you're tough.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
And the Boston you know, to cap that thing off,
I mean, Boston's what forty and forty and sixteen, they're uh,
and they've been pretty hot. I think they're one eight
of their last ten.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
You know.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
That's that, and that's always an adventure.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
It's a I think the one thing I think about
this though, is just I think that the Nuggets match
up well with Boston because Boston is a perimeter shooting team,
and they kind of match up well with them. I
think it's the teams like the Okacs that have that
double big man that they could really use that really
would give them fits in lengthy stretches.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
See, this is the crazy part about Boston and Denver.
They're like two polar opposites, like Boston is seventeen and
ten at home, but they're a better road team six,
which is which is crazy, but it does for the
mentality of knowing is though you can go into any
other teams arena and you can still pull out those games.
(09:39):
That's that's important. But you bring up a very good
point about Boston. They are a perimeter shooting team. It's like,
it seemed like every person on.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Their roster shoots three pointers.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
And the one thing that they do is they follow
up those three point shots. It's something that you taught
and I mean, I mean in high school, right, always
follow your shots. And they do a great job of
following their shots. But they have a bunch of players
that are excellent marksmen from outside the perimeter.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Well yeah, and that's the thing, I mean, even their
center of port thingers, you know, is a shoot you
can shoot. They use Jason Tatum as a power forward
even though he's probably more of a natural three, you know.
And and so it's and then you use Jalen Brown
at the three, even though he's probably more of a
natural shooting guard.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
And that allows you to get Jayrew Holliday on there
as the two and use Derek White as the one.
So it's it's a it's a team designed with with
basically a big and four perimeter guys, but they're big,
can rotate out to the line and shoot as well well.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
And this is for me after the Lakers game, this
is gonna be a huge test for the Nuggets because
when you look at the teams that they have to play, Pacers, Bucks, Pissing, Celtics,
a lot of those teams when you look at the
Eastern Conference, their records a little skew when they look
if you where the comparitive to get some Western Conference.
But at the same time, those teams are either fourth,
(10:59):
fifth or sixth. And knowing as though you're gonna come
off a back to back against the Pistons, you're gonna
have a little time off before you played the Celtics game,
but you round out with the Celtics. For me, that's
gonna tell me a lot about the Nuggets and what
their mentality is for the rest of the season, because
usually after the All Star break, this is like if
(11:19):
you if you were not serious before.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Now it was like we gotta dial in.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
So it's gonna be this stretch here is gonna say
a lot about the Nuggets moving forward.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is I need to get porterback on track. That
was a bad showing against Charlotte. He was what two
of eleven from the field only had only wound up
with six points. That was covered up by the fact
that Jamal put together another big night with thirty four.
It was twelve to eighteen Jok Chill was one assist
away from the triple double. Porter, to his credit, was
contributing on the rebounds. He had eleven of them. But
(11:50):
two of eleven from the field is not getting it done,
especially when Russ Westbrook was coming back off injury.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Also three of ten from the field.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
And then we saw late in the game, like I said,
they try to get in and do abreage orde out there.
See if one of these guys can provide late minutes
or provide minutes rather.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Off the bench for to Kohli Yok as you get
down the stretch.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Yeah, but here's the thing for me, when we look
at Michael Port's junion and it's real symbol, it is
really basic. I mean, your shot may not be falling
every single night, right Like, no one, unless I'm mistaken,
is looking for Michael Porter Junior to have nights like
the Kohli Yokis and Jamal Murray. It would be great
(12:27):
if he was able to do that, right, But just
being realistic about the situation, I don't expect him.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
To do that. You're gonna have off nights. Well, what
I don't expect for you to.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
Have an off night is when it comes to rebounding
on both ends of the floor.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
So if your shot is not falling, I mean, you're.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Diving for the fifty to fifty boss, you're trying to
set everyone else up. You get your hand in the
passing lanes, but more importantly, you're grabbing rebounds. How difficult
could that be for someone who's really tall?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Well, and he's been back and forth because he had
three straight nights a great you know, three straight games,
I should say, a great shooting before the All Star
and he hit the All Star break and the wheels
came off for a second there because he was thirty six,
thirty nine thirty. You know, he had three straight games
where he's put up the points and he didn't, at
least like I said, he did wind up with the
eleven boards, six defense and five offensive boards in that game.
That's that's at least contributing if your SHOT's not falling,
(13:15):
but two of eleven is pretty rough outing.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
But that's kind of the difference in Michael Porter's growth
as a player. Right Like years past when he had
an off shooting night, he did nothing well contribute.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Otherwise, he still doesn't play.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Much defense, but he at least tracks his shots and
he'll at least track the ball well.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
I mean when grand points out is very valid point.
That is what we've seen from MPJ. That's why when
we look at him and say, okay, well he's getting
paid max dollars, but you're not getting max performance right, right,
But we know that he's a streak of shooting shooter
and it's gonna be some nights where he's not gonna
be on. But this is where I say, well, as
a player, you can go out there, you can grab boys,
(13:53):
because for me, that's effort, right, that's that's ever And
I think that Nuggets fans would be happy if his
shot isn't falling, but he's still playing defense, he's still
contributing and getting them out.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
In transition to me, you're still you're still helping the team. Yeah,
as long as he's doing that, I'm okay with that.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
I mean, you could come away with a bad shooting
night and be a be a you know, a double
digit rebounder. I'm okay with that, you know the end
of the day. I mean, you can go back and look,
if you can get double digit rebounds night in night out,
that that's that is something in and of itself. You
go back and look, I mean, Des Robbin made a
career out of it, right if if you could do that.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Chipping in on offense is good, and he is chipped
in an offense, but you can't be the two of
eleven guy either. That's liability on offense.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Okay, but so that's two of eleven. See, it would
be an issue for me if it were it became consistent, right,
I mean what, let's be realistic about the situation, Ben,
I mean, how many points do you think from here
on out that Michael porter Junian You'd be okay with
Michael Porter Junior scoring on a game the game basis
(14:54):
just just kind of a base number that he's okay,
he's in the mix, and the office is still in
some kind.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Of flo You need to see him twelve to fifteen
at night.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
I mean that's I don't think that's too much to
ask for somebody that's getting his kind of money for
what he does.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Twelve points to fifteen points at night is not too big,
too big.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
An assay, Okay, see, I would like I'm like Grant,
I would like to see him get.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
A little bit more, but I'm okay at that if
the rebounding effort, right, So, if he has fifteen points
but he's got eighteen rebounds, yeah, oh, I'm totally fine
with that. He got eleven points, you got eighteen you
got eighteen boards. You can pretty much be excused the
rest of the night on everything else.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
You eighteen boards, well, especially if you if you're talking
about offensive rebounds, because this is the second chest Semon
chance opportunity, right, Yes, if he's able to do that now,
I think coach Malowe would definitely be happy with that,
even though his offensive production is not where he wants it.
But the defensive production has now gone off, gone up
in ways.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
That we've not seen in years past, right, And so
that I think at the end of the day, that's
the thing is like I don't need him scoring dropping
thirty every night, but I do if he's not having
a good night.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Where he's like I said, two of eleven from the
field or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Then I need you to pick up the rebounding make
sure everbody else is getting second chance.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
If you're shoting fallen.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
I'm fine with that because now now you're distributing the
ball and you're giving it to Nicola yocause you've given
it to Jamal Mury. But also you're keeping the offense
in some kind of a flow. And now you're giving
the other offensive players who are having a great night,
could be Aaron Gord, you're giving them more opportunities.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Yeah. Six back, we come back, rockets Country to night.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Shout out to our good friend Brix who agreed with
me Guardians of the Galaxy three mad or tier up.
As far as movies, I mean, Brie said, from beginning
to the end, Okay, well that might that might have
been a bit of stretch for me. Maybe not beginning
to end. Like the parts that were gross when they
were getting on that gross little ship or whatever, you
know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Uh, like that that was that didn't make me cry.
I was just like, oh, that's that's gross.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
And I can see the whole thing with racket rocket Raycoon.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yes, those types of the part like that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
You know, when you find out like that, that part
gotta be best. Anyway, I'm just saying that was one
there was. There's a lot of good. You go go
to Nick Ferguson's Twitter account there and you can see
he's get the video and all the responsors that are
in there with h from various different people with that stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
For the NFL six It's time for the NFL six pack.
I'm gonna trace the last yeer.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Insight and inside information you can't find anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
No. Six the top six NFL headlines.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
What the Steelers have added a veteran offensive player. Broncos
fans may know who he is. They announced today, Hey,
the club is side tight end Donald Parham. Barham, who
was twenty seven, spent four seasons with the Chargers, catching
sixty seven passes seven hundred sixty four yards eleven touchdowns
in forty seven games.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
It was on the Broncos practice squad all.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Year, but did not appear in any games. Parm's contract
is for one year. Did the Broncos least an opportunity
with Donald Parham here in Denver?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Dude, I remember watching I'll say for me, yes, because
I remember watching parm in the XFL and he was
extraordinary inside the.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Redson He's six eight. Nobody could get him.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
I've seen this dude a couple of times on the
field and he's such a tall, lean type of guy,
an NBA power forward, And I was.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Always thinking, Okay, with the issues that the Broncos were
having at the tight end.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Position, why not putting out there. What's the worst that
could happen?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Someone else could see him and plug him off your roster.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
They did that anyway.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Yes, So I was hoping at some point last season
the Broncos will put Palm out there so we can
at least see where he was capable of doing. A
dude that's six ' eight, just throw it up there,
Just throw job, yeah, Luster fanning that.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Two.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Soon to be free edge quarterback Aaron Rodgers has two
factors regarding his next team. One is obvious. The other
becomes a lot fuzzier and will probably limit his options. First,
as Rogers said, they have.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
To watch you. That's true for any transaction.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
If the team doesn't want the player, it's hard for
the player to play for the team.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
But second, Rogers also said it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Needs to be a quote good team.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
So which teams would qualify?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Several teams are likely, if not definitely, looking for twenty
twenty five starters. You know, Steelers, Browns, Titans, Raiders, Giants, any.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Of those any good?
Speaker 2 (19:01):
The objective assessment is irrelevant. Rodgers opinions the only one
that really matters here. Of course, a not good team
can become a good team if.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Aaron Rodgers were to play well. The Boddy didn't apply
that caveat.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
He just said a good team, presumably with or without
him from that list.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
So who's good? The Steelers obviously would be the best
of that bunch.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
They made the playoffs, but without the kind of high
end quarterback that Rogers said his peak could provide the
Titans or a weak division Rogers could allow them to
compete with the Texans for the AFC South title. The
issue in Nashville continues to be the presence of thirteen
year Packers executive Chad Brinker is the latest guy with
final say over the football operation.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Does he want a Rodgers reunion? Does Rogers give it?
Speaker 2 (19:40):
A well documented feelings about the Green Bay front office?
Speaker 1 (19:42):
What breaker.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Lee Brown's could be a good team. It's harder to
make that argument when their best player wants out. However,
the Giants, who seemingly need more help than Rogers, could
supply to compete with the Eagles, Commanders, and Cowboys other teams.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
The Vikings would have.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
To decide whether to roll with JJ McCarthy if they
trade Matt Stafford. The Colts could want an in house
alternative dan Adity richardson the Saints. I don't think they
can a forty thing the Dolphins, but that would be
a backup to Tua.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Is he gonna do that? Probably not.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
So what do we think about Aaron Rodgers? Is there
even a landing spot?
Speaker 4 (20:17):
I don't know, man, Maybe the Steelers if they move
on from Russ.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
Maybe.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
I mean you talked about Brock Purdy not being on
the same page with the forty nine Ers on a contract.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Maybe if those are good teams and Aaron Rodgers eyes they're.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Going to the team that passed over you for Alex
Smith back in the day.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
We'll consider the fact that.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
You look at Aaron Rodgers and he's kind of taken
somewhat of a Brett fav approach.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
He's already gone to the Jets. So he didn't send
any pictures to anybody that I don't well know he didn't.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
But he went from the Packers to the Jets, So
why not go to the Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
They don't want them, but they don't watch him.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Look right now, be in a situation where Tam donok
who could walk right unless they put.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
The franchise tag on it? Right?
Speaker 3 (21:12):
And now, the idea is that you have a young
quarterback in the waiting, why not have Aaron Rodgers there
for a year or two years to kind of mentor
him in a little way, right, show what to do,
what not to do.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
But now you want to go to a team that's
capable of winning right now?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
What other teams the teams that you guys gave those
teams are ready to win right now?
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Maybe maybe the Steelers maybe the only team.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
But if you can work out something with Minnesota, I
would love to see Aaron Rodgers in the same division
with his Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Do you think you can take JJ McCarthy on a
darkness retreat or maybe.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Look, if he wants to teach, J. J. McCarthy would
not to do. He doesn't even need to be on
the Vikings roster for that I can just put on table.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Here's his cruise where he.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Telling everybody got to break distractions in it, then hires
a Netflix s crew to document as every move.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I was on a Vikings podcast.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Last week or whatever. They asked me about this, and
I said I would retire if he goes to the Vikings.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
So there you go. That's how sure I am that one.
Remember he said that this is twice.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Hey, I might get my opportunity here not falling in
as a host.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Take it over that all a sudden, everybody's rooting for
Aaron Rodgers to go to Minnesota. Just to you know.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
That's like that media poll that they're doing right now,
the media accounts or whatever. They had me and Ryan
against each other.
Speaker 4 (22:29):
I saw that now, I saw that you really wanted
to win.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
You already tweeted it twice. I did one of my
fourteen votes. What's it? That close? Was that close? Wow? Mostly?
Speaker 2 (22:40):
And I was telling Ryan this play it was like, dude,
I don't actually care about this. The only reason I
cares because there's such a concerted effort from the people
that hate me to have somebody beat me.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
That that's the only reason I keep.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Just do just to mess, just to show them every
single time that you can't. So you're in the final four, now, yeah,
I'm up against In fact, it looks like I'm gonna win.
I'm up against Ryan Coningsberg here, probably me and Brandon
a head to head for the most popular one.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
We get Ryan Conisberg on the show next week.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
Past numbers out to be an admirable loss, though, I
mean that's if you're gonna go down like.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
I got it. Three Chicago Bears.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
In addition to informing tight end generals Everett that they're
going to release him, said that they are going to
release vetteran defensive end to Marcus Walker. Releasing Walker's tight end,
Gerald Everett we'll save the Bears more than ten million
in salary cap space. Walker was scheduled to make five
point two million in base salary at count five point
nine to one to six against the cap. He started
all seventeen games for the Bears last season at forty
seven tackles, three and a half sacks, sixteen quarterback hits.
(23:38):
The Broncos made Walker a second round pickback in twenty seventeen.
Spent four seasons in Denver, won a Houston won in
Tennessee two in Chicago. Now heads back to the free
agent market ahead of the opening of free agency. Walker,
who's thirty, signed a three mirror twenty one million dollars
deal with the Bears back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
He was lasted free agent.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
At fifteen point six million guaranteed money, and it's played
relatively well last year. Who we surprised to Marcus Walker
being moved on from Oh not really, But I'll say this,
He's had a great career.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Thus far based on how it actually started. Being here
and not knowing where they.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Wanted to play him being someone the between her losing weight,
gaining weight, being played out of position now and going
to Chicago getting significant playing time but also significant cash
in his pocket. So these are always sometimes and teams
got to make financial decisions as they look to move on.
Sometimes they got to trim some fat, and sometimes it's
a lot of players on the roster.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
After I mean, he his last two seasons in Denver,
he had four and four and a half sacks. After
that he had Houston wasn't great, but he had seven
sacks when he's there in Tennessee and parlayed that into
that deal with the Bearers were.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
At seven sacks over the last two seasons.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Any chance you think he reunites with the Vans, Joseph.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Well, anything is capable of happening, but I think before
the Broncos do that, they want to save a lot
of those spots for some young guys, So I don't
think overall now, I don't think that's gonna happen.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Or Former Ravens linebackers Tourell Suggs plead guilty to a
reduced charge during a Thursday pre trial hearing in Arizona
and bels Some of The Baltimore Sun reports Suggs, forty two,
schedule for sentencing on April first. His criminal case stems
from a March incident last year. Or Suggs allegedly threatened
to kill a motorist and pulled a gun after backing into.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
The driver's vehicle in a Starbucks drive through.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Police arrested Suggs in April, charged with felony, disorderly conduct
involving a weapon, and misdemeanor intimidation. He pleaded not guilty
and insisted the other driver was the instigator. On Thursday,
he pled guilty to a charge of disorderly conduct with
a weapon that was reduced to an undesignated offense, meaning
he could ask the court to treat it as abys demeanor.
Representative for Suggs told the newspaper that the retired players
(25:42):
relieved that he can now put this unfortunate.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Incident behind him.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Suggs was one of fifteen finalists for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty five, and he'd
not earned in shrinent for the year. Played sixteen seasons
for the Ravens, finishing his career in twenty nineteen with
the Cardinals and the Chiefs, one hundred and thirty nine sacks,
two hundred two tackles for a lost two hundred quarterback.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Hits for his career.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Where we think about Terrell Suggs, Well, you know what.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
As a FOMA player, obviously you don't want to have
your name in the media when you're playing and when.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
You're not playing.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
And I can't help but think based on what we
saw last week in New Orleans where the Hall of
Fame class was announced, and knowing as though Suggs has
more sacks than Jared Allen, but Jared Allen was the
one that was selected, so this may be ten to
four a half.
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I'm thinking that maybe this situation.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
You're talking about have a little to do with the
decision whether to put Suggs in over Jared Allen.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Maybe might have. I mean, you know that kind of
stuff can't affect things, so.
Speaker 4 (26:41):
You know, sounds like you don't mess with Terrell Suggs
before he gets his Starby's.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
I'm just saying, yeah, let that man. Let that man
get his get his sausage Jacob.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
And a cheese croissant and the half calf whatever it
is that he's drinking.
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Do you think he's a pumpkin spice guy. I can't
see that. Nah, I don't see that by probably a
dragonfruit lemonade refresher. Yeah, like a real man. Why does
he appoint it yourself? Because that's what I get what
I there.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Some NFL players choose to represent themselves, for many either
better off being handled by a good agent. Only two
in the incoming class have a Hall of Fame father
who's also an accomplished college football coach.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
In the list of new players and agents.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Distributed by the nfl PA, two names don't appear, Chaduura
and Shiloh Sanders means they if yet to hire agents,
which also means that with the scouting Combined days away,
they probably don't plan to. The belief in league circles
is that their father Dion will advise them, which makes
sense for several reasons. First, when it comes to rookie contracts,
there's really not much to negotiate, even if and when
Shador goes early and Shiloh, who wasn't invited to Combine,
(27:42):
goes late. The labor deal has simplified the process of
hammering out entry level contracts, and Chadors expected to be
one of the first quarterbacks drafted. He'll join the likes
of Kayleb Williams Lamar Jackson's high end quarterbacks who opted
not to hire an agent. For Kaylin Williams, having an
agent didn't matter because he was the consensus no brainer
number one. For Lamar Jackson, not having an established agent
defend off pre draft nonsense like he should change positions
(28:03):
and all that kind of stuff might have contributed to
him sliding all the way to thirty two. Shador will
have a hype man and a defender at Dion. If
anyone starts spreading about Shadur what Dion would call a
quote bull junk, and Dion will engage and he's got
the platform and obviously the voice the register dean diver
players to decide what's what's in their best interest For
those looking simply to avoid paying a percentage to an
(28:23):
agent by lining up a team of unlicensed by the
NFLPA agents, bookkeepers, lawyers, et cetera to send to receive
Dunny emails or might be a better approach. For Shade
and Shiloh, they've decided to smart most do it themselves
with Dion's help, which means that for them, their interests
will be protected and advanced. What do we think about
Dion de facto representing his sons going into this process. I,
(28:44):
for one, love it because Dion has been through the process.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
He's got a lot of cachet that comes in and
the guys get in the game right, He's got stuff,
you know, scans on the wall where you can say,
I've been in this situation, I've done the line, I've
seen a lot and I know what my son, Shudas
Sanders can do. But he's going to have to do
a lot more promoting for Shallow as well.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, I think it's a give and take because obviously
Dio's got the experience, he's been through the process, and
certainly there's not much to negotiating rookie contracts. There's slotted
contracts anyway, so there's not really much to that portion
of it, just the public relations portion of it as
you lead up to this thing. But the flip side
of these seas, it doesn't take anything away from teams
who are concerned that Dion might be alikopter parent for
one of those two if they draft.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
L Well, I mean, for me, how many parents find
themselves in this situation. We've seen it before when John
Elway didn't want to go to the Coasts. We've seen
it before when Elon Manning didn't want to go and
play for the Charges and he ended up going and
being traded to the New York Giants. So we've seen
this before. We're just seen it with Coach Prime. And
(29:49):
if he can actually pull this off, and I understand
it as a parent, he wants your kids to be
set up well. If he can use his no riding
to be able to do it, so do it, so
be it.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Yeah, there's like I said, there's just a a little
bit of a I guess there's a concern that you
get kind of like a LeVar Ball type situation which
shout out to him.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
By the way it did his foot it potated. I
don't know if you guys saw that or not. Yeah,
Lvar Ball had a medical coup case that it's foot edutated.
But you know, in the end, I mean LeVar I
think he did well by his sons, even if people
found him obnoxious. Six the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Again wide receiver demo Samuel promission to seek a trade.
Some teams are exploring the possibility, but those teams also
think Samuel may soon be available without having to give
anything up for him. Several teams have expressed interest in
trading for Samuel, Jeremy Fowler reported on ESPN. However, Fowler
suggested that teams think the Niners will cut Samuel they
don't work out of trade, which means the smart move
for a team interested might be to wait.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
The Niners would seem to need to make a decision
before March twenty second.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
That's the date by which they would owe him a
fifteen point philly four million dollar option bonus if he
still have a team Samuel coming off a highly disappointing
season which he averaged a career low four to four
point seven receiving yards per game. He has shown enough
of an ability to make plays in the past that
some teams may still be interested.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
In adding him.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
The Niners won't have a lot of leverage in trade
talks at a time. What it looks like they may
be ready to move on and have till March twenty
second to save the money.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
What do we think about Debo probably hitting the open market.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
I like the idea, and then I mean the strategy
of saying, so, here is.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
A great player that we could use on our team.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
And the forty nine ers may be they may ask
for dot a king's ransom. Let's just say, they may
ask for maybe two number twos or something like that,
and you may said, well, that's a little too rich
for my blood.
Speaker 1 (31:28):
Then you wait, as they say, stall them out, de bowl,
stall them out, I say, Deebo, come and hide your chains.
I'm just kidding real quick.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Yeah. LaVar Ball made a name for himself with grandiose
plan for his kids. Create the Big Bowler brand, the
signature shoes, countless headlines for all those bold declarations, but
he had to have his right foot amputated after a
after a medical issues distanced himself in the spotlight and
obviously recent years, but certainly has been was a pervasive
presence for a while there with this with his son's
(31:59):
family has put out any statement, although there's a picture
of him missing his uh, his right foot and you
know and blow down there out there us making the rounds,
so you know, shout out to to lebar Ball.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Have you listened to his uh middle son's song?
Speaker 1 (32:13):
No, I don't.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
I don't listen. Yeah, I don't listen. He had the song, yeah,
performed at the NBA All Stars. Get some kind of
rap thing going on?
Speaker 3 (32:21):
Wait, wait, so there's LaMelo le Angelo li Angelo.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yes, that's the one who has a song really has
taken the world by a storm.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
No kidding, I haven't heard it, but I had. This
is this is news to me.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And then once again, I didn't watch the NBA All
Star Game live to even to see that.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I'm gonna have to check that now. Is it under
what is his name again? Leangelo Leangelo? Hmm.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Sounded like a kid from my neighborhood whose parents love
Gello so much that they named the kids at the
Gello we had.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
I mean, everybody remembers Lonzo Ball yet, right, and yeah, Lamela,
everybody knows LaMelo.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He's the middle one. He's the shot garden. It's tough
being the middle kid. Yeah, it's tough. Yeah. So and
it was by far the worst at basketball. Well yeah,
this is of the three, he's the least tell it's
the bastball players. So he's got a hit song. I
guess according to you.
Speaker 2 (33:13):
Gret, maybe that'll maybe that'll work out for him thanke
you correct, Maroo's.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
Cut you to that pulls up? You try to break
me down? Why do you find glory and making me cry?
Your soul is mine
