a good amount of stuff to talkabout today since now with NBA and NFL
both being back, there's no shortageof sports news to get into, so

(00:46):
it's always eventful with always a lotof stuff. It's funny because the NBA
just came in and just like jumpedinto the fray when it was NFL trade
deadline day and NBA said, nowdon't forget about us, now, don't
you forget don't forget about me.I don't even know the full worst in
that song, but it goes somethinglike that. But normally where the NFL

(01:07):
always outshines the NBA, to theNBA was able to slide in and get
itself into the news cycle. SoI'm going to talk about that with the
James Harden trade to the Los AngelesClippers, as well as talking about Gianna's
saying that the Milwaukee Bucks are DamianLillard's team. Interesting comments. I didn't
make a TikTok about that as well, if you guys want to check that
out, but have some interesting commentson that end. And then going to

(01:30):
be talking about the NFL and DevonteAdams pretty much being in the NFL purgatory
with the Las Vegas Raiders and whatthat future looks like for him and just
the Raiders in general. How badit looks there, man, Things is
looking dire straits. So we'll betalking about that that news and then talking
about the Philadelphia Egles and if they'rethe best team in the NFL, because

(01:52):
they do have the best record inthe NFL, but sometimes your record isn't
always indicative. Of how well youplay or how well you play against the
best talent when it's put in frontof you. So that. But of
course I'm not recording this episode ofthe podcast by myself. I got my
guy, snack keel Oh mail withme, my guy. How we living.
I'm gonna get a name like I'mgoing to get a sports team comes
from sports name whatever. I mean, Snackkee Oatmeal ain't bad. Oh,

(02:15):
No, I need I need asports name. I need, like I
don't know what my sports name isgonna be a sports name. To k
sports name, I'm changing it.I'm changing it. No, but I
mean, you just can't be Brendan. You gotta be like you know add
I mean, who has sports whohas a sports name? I don't.
I don't know. Skip Bayless's nameactually Skip Bayless, Yes, really,

(02:39):
he formally changed his name his dadname. He did have a different his
name. I think his name waslike he had a different name. I
think he was named after his fatheror something along those lines. He went
to the courthouse and changed it toSkip. He knew what I'm saying.
You named me one example out oflike it. But even him, that's
his actual name. So it's noteven a good example. No. No,

(03:00):
he was born with a different nameand changed it. Yeah, but
that's still his name. That's notlike he doesn't have that name just for
sports. His name. He wantedto be called Skip. He knows he
needed a name to just rolled offthe tongue. That's just no, man,
No half the personality, some ofthe biggest personality is all their real

(03:22):
names. Colin Cowhard, great name, that's his name. Yeah, a
great name, but it's not asports name. It's just a name,
all right, Union name that rollsoff the tongue. Dude, what rolled
off the tongue? Stephen A.Smith, great name. That's nuts.

(03:49):
It's just a name, bro,are you talking about all great? These
are all great TV names. They'rejust names. What it called the scene
and then you got the seat.There's guys who were kind of like relegated
to to the to the background becausethe names just don't work, because their
names don't work. Are you seriousa little bit? You know it all

(04:09):
goes to the appeal. They alladds the appeal. I don't think that's
how it works, bro. I'msorry. Mike Greenberg, a terrible man
leads one of the he's on oneof the most prominent morning shows in sports.
But what's happening in the ESPN?Yeah, going down the dream.

(04:34):
But you didn't say that about stephenA. Yeah, he's on the same
network. What's it called? Listenthe sinking ship? Sinking ship? Stephen
A has a great name. Justrolls off the tongue on. The only
thing keeping ESPN afloat is stephen A. Smith. Gosh damn all right,
let's move on, man, thisis horrible. I'll teach you about the

(04:58):
business a little bit of another time. Oh that's nuts. We had a
whole talk about this for me,trying to time to talk about business,
gaming business. But anyways, man, so by the way, no,
it's not it's not at all.But guys, let's talk about the the
NBA first starting out because we gotbig news obviously. Funnily enough, it's

(05:23):
like the NBA and NFL were competingto see who can have the bigger trade
news. I think in the whatwould you say is bigger news James Harden
or Chase Young getting trade into theforty nine ers. No, no,
no, no, Washington trade therethey're both they're in a big news Yeah,
but it depends on where they go, right, Like Chase, it's

(05:44):
not big that Washington traded both theirdefensive ends. It's it's big that the
forty nine ers landed one of themin Chase Young. Yeah. And so
in those in that circumstances, likewhich one is bigger because Jamie, because
one player has one more sway inbasketball, I would argue James Hardens is
bigger. I would say trading yourtwenty four year old defensive rookie of the

(06:08):
year defensive ends on the team that'sbad because that's the kind of guy you
like, you rebuild a defense around, right, And it's like you're trading
him when you're already a bad teamfor like a third round pick to a

(06:30):
team that's like already pretty stacked upfront. They are, So it's like
you're that I don't know, tome, like if James, if this
was like three years ago, JamesHarden, but it ain't. It ain't
twenty eighteen, twenty seventeen anymore.And that's not three years ago. Least,
that was six years ago. Ithink, well it seems, I

(06:53):
mean, I think most part whatfor what it was worth a big part
of why they traded Chase Young wasfor the fact that you would have been
a free agent after for this season. Yeah. Yeah, And they didn't
want to pick up his fifth yearoption this past offseason, so it seems
though they were pretty you know,against wanting to pay him. So I
think that that is a big whatit makes sense that, I mean,

(07:17):
they weren't going to trade, theyweren't going to pay him, and he
clearly didn't fit into the long termgoal. So it's like, hey,
I might as well get hanging therhythm. It's just it's just that,
like he's good. That like that'sthe I guess that's the thing. You
look at the team as bad andyou're like, Okay, this guy's good
and it's not as they got likethis great hold from him. It's a
third round pick, Like it's notbad, but it's not like you think

(07:43):
you would get more and you thinka team, you know, you think
a team would reach more than theforty nine. I don't there's some desperate
teams the lines were linked to himlike nonstock and you I mean, I
just can't image there's not a teamthat was like wouldn't jump out there for
that. Yeah, And that's that'sThe thing to me is like I just

(08:07):
feel like they sold like really lowon them. I mean now, in
essence, he goes to the fifthranked defense in terms of points and the
ninth ranked defense in terms of yards. So you averaged it out there about
seventh for the NFL. So always, I always wonder how these things kind
of go where it's like you're youknow, they have multiple offers, right,

(08:30):
and they have to again they hadhe had multiple teams link to him,
and it's like you look at theteam and you're like, man,
this seems so great on defense,We're gonna send the man. It's like
why, like why why would youalready like you're already great, they don't
need him. Yeah, it isinteresting, especially when you consider the fact
that that team is in their conference. Yeah, it's like I'm just I

(08:54):
just I'm just always curious how thatalways works out, Like why do you
why trade with the great team?But maybe I mean the year, the
amount of time that was left onthe contract, it played a role in
the pick that they got, right. I mean, the third round pick
in the NFL is not the samelike it's you can get it's a top

(09:16):
mid round pick. Yeah, Imean a third round pick. You can
get a top flight defensive player withthat, or you can Yeah, you
know so that that well, theNite the forty you're probably getting on the
low end the third round. Yeah, but I still think you can get
a quality defensive player. Well,it depends, honestly, because I mean,

(09:37):
no matter what what's being shown is, no matter what rounde, you
can get it a quality player.Yeah, like the Rams, Yeah exactly,
so I think like eight years Yeah, no, noble, the Rams
just mortgaged their first round pick towin that Super Bowl, which is worth
it. I mean, I meanwhen you win a championship, look,
you can suck for a good amountof years, which is enough enough time

(10:00):
to be able to build up yourpit capital again, especially after you off
that talent. You guys are probablyrebuild before the Reskins of the rest the
Commanders do probably well, I mean, this looks like the Commander is initiating
that rebuild. Don't you think areyou reading initiating something you've already been in.
I mean you're pretty much saying we'renot doing it good enough, you

(10:22):
know what I mean? Like,at what point? At what point have
they not been in? Like theyhad what one year. Wait, they
go to the playoffs two years orone year with the with r G three
one year. Yeah, it's likethey had like a good year sprinkled in
every once in a while. Butthis has mostly been like a rebuild.

(10:43):
Yeah. Well, the funny thingis it's like it's it's been a rebuild,
but it's been it's not because thatdivision has been like they haven't.
They haven't been pulling like a lionsright where they were purposely losing games or
you know, I guess whoa Idon't want to say that is okay,

(11:07):
maybe not purpose I mean it's hardto go oh in sixteen, bro,
look like that's hard to do.Don't don't play me. It's hard to
do, man, How do yougo oh in sixteen? I'm not exactly.
Losing every game is hard to do, man. Simple. They last

(11:30):
went to the playoffs in twenty twentyand they lost in the wild card.
And before that was the last thingwent to the playoffs was twenty fifteen.
So okay, they had one,two, three, four five. They've
had five winning seasons in two thousands. Yikes. If they're not on this

(11:54):
year to do it either, damnman. Being the Commander's fan is tough.
Bro. I want to say,it's been just like they've had a
year here and there where they makethe playoffs. They make the playoffs like
once every like decades, five years, but it's like, outside of that,
it's just been a rebuild, Bro. They have they had the last

(12:18):
wing season was twenty seventeen, butthen their winning season. Don't get it
wrong, right, They're winning seasonsaren't like ten wins. They went eight
and seven and ninety sevens. Theycleared ten wins twice two thousand. The
problem with their rebuilds is that theynever land the quarterback. Like the problem
is they needed the quarterback to bethe like to to make the benefits of

(12:43):
all these pieces they gather, becausenaturally you'd want to gather all these pieces.
You see some talent in these guys, and you build around like you
said, you'd want to build aroundthem, and then eventually you have to
pay the which is where they werereaching that point with Chase Young. But
when you're not, when you don'thave that guy that you can depend on
to be your franchise quarterback and you'restill in that search, I mean,
I think that's where essentially You're like, well, how many how many times

(13:07):
do we we don't want to paypeople get stuck in contracts, and we
don't have any flexibility in case aguy wants to go somewhere or if we
need to make things happen, ortake on the back contract in exchange for
draft capital. I'm looking at JasonCampbell and as who was one of their
guys, one of their friends,their quarterback. Twenty seven hundred yard,

(13:28):
twelve touchdowns, eleven interceptions. Raw. I remember those Jason Campbell years.
But here's a problem, right,they had no no, no hold on,
they had a quarterback. To befair, are you gonna say Kirk,
I am gonna say Kirk. Yeah, but they weren't winning with Kirk.

(13:48):
That sounds like a team problem.It is, but I think part
of it was also the fact thatKirk was not Kirk wasn't winning. Also,
wasn't winning the games That may likeKirk is one of those guys,
and I've talked about this with Washingtonfans. You can when you watched the
games as well, Kirk is oneof the guys. Yes, he will

(14:09):
put up great numbers, put upgreat stats throughout the season, throughout games
a whole nine. But then ifthe game is competitive and you got to
go and win a win the gameon a drive or something like that,
Kirk just wasn't the guy to dothat, or he wasn't the guy to
seal the game and put it outof reach where another team couldn't possibly beat
come back and beat Washington, orsomething to that effect. And to me

(14:31):
that that just means that you atthat time period, kirk Cousins was a
middle guy, a middle tier guy. Like he was a solid quarterback,
but you needed to have a wholea whole kit and caboodle of weapons around
him to make it work. Andthen when he needed to get paid,
it's like, well, we can'tpay him because he's not good enough to
uplift the team in spite of usnot having all the weapons that were that

(14:52):
we need to afford to him.Unlike a guy like when they had RG
three that his first season before heprobably there's injuries and he was able to
cook regardless of that roster and heled them to the playoffs. Kirk just
wasn't able to do that. Man. Listen, here here's who who Kirk
Cousins was thrown to. Jordan Reedwho played like half season every single year

(15:15):
because he had uh yeah, hewas injury prone, as Josh Doctson,
Jameson Crowder, Vernon Davis, whowas old. By the way at this
point. Maurice Harris, like Bro, these aren't names his number one his
number one receiver at five hundred yardssounds about right. Listen, if if

(15:39):
if uh Jimmy Garoppolo to make itto the to the Super Bowl, you
could want to start cousins. Yeah, but this is also one of those
things where you're saying that Jimmy Garoppolocame into a situation that was that had
the like that had the pieces andhave been built up before he got before

(16:03):
he had gotten there and by thetime he got there, and then they
also revamp their coaching staff. Butprior to Jimmy Garoppolo getting there and we're
able to make that run, allI'm hearing is build a better team.
I'm not disagreeing with that. Imean, I agree with that premise,
but I also think that you alsoneed to have a quality quarterback. Like
the forty nine ers were so soupedup everywhere that it was like, yeah,

(16:26):
I guess I can respect it.Jimmy Garoppolo is gonna make if Jimmy
Garoppolo leads them to the super orthe NFC Championship Game, whatever the case
might be. But when you havesuch a souped up team on all fronts
and a lot of those key pieceslike George Kittle, Deebo, Samuel Brandon,

(16:47):
Nayuk, all these other guys areacquired, and you're looking at that
team, You're looking at Bosa,You're looking at all this has so many
pieces, and it's like, well, damn yeah. It's almost like,
you know, if you build ateam around a guy, you know,
you can make him look really goodwhen he's you know, and when and

(17:07):
then sometimes you build a team,you give guy a bunch of weapons and
sometimes he overthrows two touchdowns and thesame guy, the same guy that you
just named the duality. I'm justsaying, man, Look, if r

(17:30):
G three was able to lead awinning a Super Over not Super Bowl playoff
team, he was able to leada playoff team throwing to Santana Moss,
Pierre Garson, Fred Davis. Like. It's not like he was throwing to
the most elite people either. PierreGarsong was straight at that point in Washington.

(17:53):
But it's not at like Pierre Garsonwas. If I look it up,
he had a thousand yards through Washington. But would you say he had
a thousand yards on Washington with thatone thousand and forty one yards in touchdowns?
Touchdowns and guess who he was throwingthe fall to it. He had

(18:19):
two one thousand yard seasons. Hehad one hundred and thirteen catches in the
season. Yeah, well, RGthree, stop playing this man. I'm
saying he wasn't cooked. But whenit wasn't, RG three, what happened?
Just tell me what happened. Whathappens? You leave some facts out,

(18:41):
brother, No, hold on,hold on? He had a thousand
yards with Kirk. But I toldyou, but Kirk can get numbers.
But when I say about Kirk,see that man. No, but that's
a thing we know. No,No, out like, that's not a
thing. You know, that's athing. All I'm saying is the put

(19:02):
a team around the guy. No, but a guy also got to be
able to That's the reason why JimmyGaroppolo didn't win a Super Bowl because you
also got to be able to goout there and make the throws. Yeah,
Jimmy Garoppolo missed one of the easiestthrows in the Super Bowl and in
a costu. Yeah, I'm saying, but if you got that dude back

(19:23):
there, which the Chiefs did atthe time, give give Kirk DeVante Adams
and Josh Jacobs Kirk, then Kirkcousins have Stephan Dicks and Adam Thielen.
Yeah, and who was the thetight end when he was Kyle Rudolph when

(19:47):
he was still bawling out to rememberthe tight end and keep it moving?
Stop? Stop, stop? Whyare you fast? You remember his name?
Bro? I was struggling. I'vebeen struggling to remember names all night.
What do you mean, I've beenpulling up. I've been getting them
right out in my memory. Thoughtakes me a second. Bro, that
man, oh that all that gotall? Man? You know he was

(20:11):
so good guy. I did itearlier. I did it earlier too.
It's not faking. Kyle Rudolph wasa was a was a at one point,
was a consistent fantasy tight end peoplewas choosing. Man. Man,
you hate when they say consistent,not good consistent. He wasn't, so
was Adam feeling though, what don'tdon't fake Adam Feeling had a couple of

(20:33):
years. You don't know. Youdon't say Adam Feeling was solid. You
say Adam Steevens was good. No, because now you because now he is.
You can't say like now he's not, he's just like he is just
a solid receiver. No, buthe was good. He was You don't
think he was. He was sobvidyou say he was good. Kyle Rudolph
was a good tight end. Nowyou're now you're just walking backwards. How

(20:57):
am I walking back? Chris?We already said he's consistent, not not
good, consistent. He was consistent. He was I said he was consistently
picked on fantasy teams. We're wewe are strings so far from the point
we started on Dave start and wegot what we were talking about. We
were talking about the duality of buildinga team, Why the rationale behind doing

(21:19):
the trade, because I mean,we kind of chose the NFL lane over
the NBA because we were talking aboutwhich trade was a bigger deal, and
we kind of just ended up talkingabout this for the forty nine ers.
But in quick surmise sermization, Iwill say the forty nine ers with this,
I mean their past rush is gonnabe legit, right, Yeah.
Their idea is like, all right, Burke probably uh Brock Perry doesn't look

(21:44):
great, that's fun. He justsacked the quarterback as you play, we
don't have to worry about it.They can't put up points like why don't
we just stacked the quarterback every time? We don't have to worry about if
rocket is good or not. Itpretty much follows that model at this point,
I think Fortnite are fully leaned intotheir defense being. I mean that's
how they've been the last few yearsthough, to be fair, yeah,

(22:06):
they've been a defensive team, andgranted they've done it every At this point,
I'm I'm a Rams fan and they'rein the NFC West Division with the
Rams, But at this point,the forty nine ers don't win a championship
in this run though. That's thebiggest fumble if they don't get one out
of this somewhere. Dude, ateam you think the winning one, right,

(22:27):
Like a team with the with thetalent on both sides. I mean,
you got you. They are stackedfrom every type of position. When
it comes to they want to runthe ball. You got Christian McCaffrey.
You want to throw it, yougot three receiving threats. You want to
have defensive pressure, You're lying yourfront the whole nine legit, you have

(22:48):
a you have a top seven defense. It's like cat space doesn't matter.
This is what people were saying aboutthe Rams too. Yeah, it's just
like somehow all these all these likeall this talent, and some of them
make a big money, and it'sjust like, man, I guess,
man, when you really don't haveto pay a quarterback, it really it
really helps. Hum oh it helps. But hey, look that's crazy.

(23:11):
It helps a lot man quarterbacks eatup the bulk of your cap. Crazy
facts, bro, But think aboutit this way. The thing the Rams
did. The Rams said, look, we gotta stop playing around with this.
We got the talent. Let's justgo get the guy. Yeah,
forty nine ers haven't gotten the guy. They haven't they had Jimmy. I'm

(23:33):
gonna keep bringing out I'm just gonnakeep bringing that sound. Oh my gosh,
bro, Jimmy alone. Man,man, listen. I told Brindle,
well, I didn't watch the game. I'm watching the Raiders game.
Yeah, okay, but like Isaw, I saw the two throws and

(23:56):
it was like, Man, I'mglad Jimmy's still the same Jimmy don't fail.
Okay, well I might as wellloop in Davontae Adams into this,
because man, been trying to showyou that I brought that on the first

(24:17):
time. You cream take it chillthe first time we're trying to getting trying.
I was like, all right,I tell this up here he goes
and he gonna get it. Nowork that, jo Bro. The funniest

(24:41):
thing is I was just like brospulling up the forty nine ers ros.
I was like, damn, bro, they really was that good? What
do you do? I want toplay in perspective right, I'm talking about
how to see himself. He said, we're gonna start this at eight o'clock.

(25:02):
We started eight and forty five andwe were just talking. Yeah,
it wasn't like we were doing liketrap or something. We were talking about
video games for forty five minutes.And so when we started rambling, I
was like, Okay, listen,I'm trying this. Don't done before ten
o'clock. Let me throw this outhere. You'll you'll pass the segue,
He'll lead into the monte at Nope, we're going to keep this podcast going.

(25:26):
Tell don't worry about it. Hey, bro, look, I'm not
going to stop. Good conversation.I get it. I can tell man,
oh gosh, but I will say, look, man, Jimmy,
if you say no, I don't. I don't know what the race I

(25:48):
mean. I felt like the Raiderswhat you had was the seven seasons with
Derek Carr. So all the yearsyou have with Derek Carr, right,
the race, for the most part, I have just been a middle of
the run franchise. Either they've beenmiddle of the run or they've been bad.
Derek Carr had like one MVP seasonin there, and I remember that.

(26:11):
I feel like that's the season thathonestly sold everybody on Derek Carr.
And since then it's been one ofthose things like, oh but Derek Carr
because of that one season, right, And I think Derek Carr do his
time with the with the Raiders.He got them to the playoffs two times,
they both they lost both times inthe Wildcard. The best record they

(26:33):
had with Derek Carr was twelve andfour. I think that was the MVP
run he had then was in twentytwenty one when they went ten and seven
and lost in the wildcard. AndI think that when you look at it
from that vantage point, you're like, Okay, Davante Adams came to this
team to play with Derek Carr.He came to play with that guy.
Like we talked about this before evenon the show, before the show started.

(26:55):
That was the selling point for DeavonteAdams coming here nine years with Derek
Carr actually, or eight years DerekCarbery here. He came came here twenty
fourteen left or left after twenty twentytwo seasons. Right, the Vonte Adams
numbers since he's been with and Iguess I got to get the perfect contrast.
I have to contrast it with hisnumbers since he what I guess,

(27:15):
since he left green Bay that finalseason in green Bay in comparison to the
first season, so his first whenhis final year in Green Bay, the
Vante Adams had one hundred and sixtynine targets, one hundred and twenty three
receptions, one five hundred and fiftythree yards, eleven touchdowns, and he

(27:37):
was averaging per reception, he wasaveraging twelve point six yards per reception.
Right, and his catch percentage inGreen Bay was seventy two point eight percent
of the passest jones and he caughtseventy two point eight percent of them right,
and he averaged ninety seven point oneyards per game, which is very
impressive obviously. Yeah, the firstseason, in first season and lost Vegas

(28:00):
with Derek Carr, Vante Adams themost targets he has ever had, one
hundred and eighty targets, one hundredreceptions, one five hundred and sixteen yards.
He led the NFL in touchdowns.He had fifteen point two yards per
reception. So he was getting alot more deep balls with Derek Carr,

(28:22):
and his cash percentage dropped down tofifty five point six. Yeah, so
he's still caught majority of his passites, but obviously Derek car isn't as accurate
as Aaron Rodgers. Yeah, Imean, and also, you know the
volume goes up, there's a chanceis going to go down. Yeah,
for sure. So now we goto this season, we're only eight games
in, so but so far witheight games in, he's been targeted seventy

(28:47):
eight times. So if we're eightgames in, times a game. Yeah,
So for eight games in, he'son pace to finish with about one
hundred and if he times that bytwo, that would be sixteen games.
He'd be at one hundred and fiftysix. Add one more game to that,
he's probably gonna finish in the onesixty one to seventy ballpark. Maybe,

(29:10):
okay, putting that degree us goahead. He has on the season
so far, three touchdowns, fivehundred and thirty nine yards, forty seven
receptions. He's averaging sixty seven pointfour yards a game, and his cash
percentage is sixty point three. That'sjust and when you look at his last

(29:34):
few games, okay, and thispredominantly with Jimmy Garoppola as his quarterback,
his last so he has it.He's only had one game this season where
he was over one hundred yards,which came in Week three against the Pittsburgh
Steelers. In that game, hewas targeted twenty times, had thirteen receptions

(29:56):
one hundred and seventy two yards,two touchdowns, So his three of his
touchdowns came in the first three weeks. Since then, obviously no touchdowns.
He has only had one game overseventy yards. He's only had he hasn't
had any games over ten receptions sincethat Week three game. And you're looking

(30:23):
at it, his catch percentage hasjust gone down. I mean, from
that Week three game he was atsixty five percent, he dropped to sixty
one point five percent. Then hehad one hundred percent catch game, but
in that game he only had fourtargets for four receptions. Then it dropped

(30:44):
to forty percent fifty eight point threepercent, and then this past Monday night
game against the Lions, it wasfourteen point three percent. He has seven
targets for one reception and eleven yards. I think this is I mean,
I think this is one of thebiggest okie dokees that as a franchise they
pulled on a guy without question.I mean, he comes there to play

(31:08):
with. The whole selling point wasthat he wanted to play with Derek Carry.
They were good friends, obviously,and the Aaron Rodgers situation kind of
left the Avante Adams in limbo,and so why not go there and play
with a guy you already have thatkind of experience with you, you're familiar
with in terms of playing with incollege and so on, and so you

(31:30):
can't really blame Davonte for being inthe situation. But then once the franchise
and Derek Carr part ways. Nowhe's in the situation where Jimmy Garoppolo being
the guy and they just haven't figuredit out. And I don't know what's
going on, man, Garoppolo justlooked abysmal. Man. You don't know
what's going on. Huh. Buthere's the thing though, because it takes

(31:56):
it to another level when it's weird, because when you have a star receiver,
it feels like one of two thingshappens the team. The team will
try to or even if you havea bad quarterback, they will just try
to force the ball to that receiver. Yes, to some degree, even
when it was even when the gamesof Matthew Stafford was hurt. It's not
like Calvin Johnson's numbers just fell offa cliff, right, And so it's

(32:22):
weird when you see Devonte Adams hasn'thad like he's just been a regular Deglar
guy this year. He's just aguy, a jag for better terms.
And when you hear the franchise sayingthat they're not going to trade him,
I mean for him, oh no, no, no, no, no,

(32:45):
no no way in hell him.But you get I mean, while
if you're the franchise, why doyou think they just they're just so averse
to trading him. Yeah. Yeah, that's why you think they're against it.
You don't have no reason. I'mstared up, my man. There's

(33:13):
a reason somewhere in there. I'lllet you know what I find it.
He relaxed. Man, Okay,so here's here's my logic. Right,
he's trash. Yeah, and youdon't have a quarterback. You have a
quarterback, but you use the termand it's like, how I wish how

(33:36):
long was a mout there? Thiscontract is contract? Actually, I'm literally
on his page. I asked becauseI imagine, I imagine off the top
of my head, he has likethree years laster, and you're not gonna
be good by the time. Listen, I'm gonna take a standard right now

(33:58):
and say something crazy. They're notbecause in three years, So why not
trade him? Get something for him? Because I think they feel as though
we just traded for this guy.Man, Listen, sometimes he got to
know when to let go. Nothingwrong, nothing wrong with saying you know

(34:24):
what, Nothing worse than holding onto somebody because you're like, man,
we made it, we traded forthis guy. We better hold on to
him like he's thirty right now,just like he still has value, but
he still has value in the league. Receivers are founding like running backs right

(34:45):
where it's like it could just bea year you just fall of Cliff Yeah,
And I mean he's contracted till twentytwenty six. He becomes a free
agent and unrestipt the free agent twentytwenty seven season. Yeah. So it's

(35:06):
like you could trade him now toa team that has cap space, right
and probably want the receiver. Ifa team wants the Panthers, right,
they have a young quarterback who theywould love to pair with the receiver,
right, Yeah, And it's likeyou could probably and you're you could get
you could get some picks. Youcould get a pick or two out of
them for him, and it's like, all right, where were you bad?

(35:28):
You might as well just go aheadand try and and do Existly,
what the what the Commanders did theytrade the talent to get picked because they
know they're not gonna be good.They're in the middle of a twenty year
rebuild. Yeah. So it's likeyou have punch of winstel and you have
DeVante Adams sitting here doing nothing.But you know when you're just running and

(35:52):
you're just running routes and you're justlike, what's you know, what's the
point of this? Like he justcan be because this is the same way
anyway. He gets miserable and heasked her to trade out. But I
guess is it the franchise is thefranchise doesn't have to adhere to his trade

(36:12):
request. I guess it doesn't.But I mean, it's just like this
team, like, come on,unless they just land a quarterback, which
entirely is truth, it could happen. It could nothing, it's impossible.
But based off their past history,based off and how they built a team,

(36:34):
do I believe they're going to No? I don't. Yeah. I
just think, man, listen,you have you have this guy who's just
wasting his career away, who haswho has value. It's like I wouldn't
be shocked if they kept hunting,right, but the one like, you
have a guy who can who couldget you something, And it's just like

(36:54):
I I at this point and whereyou're at, I'd rather get something than
just have this. I mean,I'm inclined to agree. I think that
I think when a team like theRaiders, and especially when you're not making
any use for him. That's thething. It's not. It hasn't been

(37:14):
one of those situations where you you'vebuilt a naturally, you would expect that
you had a quality running back inJosh Jacobs, you have the DeVante Adams
to be the spirit to your receivinggame. Then you have on Hunter renfro
is a nice second option. Butif you don't have it always comes back
to the quarterback. It's odd.And when your quarterback is just as destitute

(37:35):
as Jimmy Garoppolo is, you're there'sYeah, it's tough. It's tough,
man. And it's like it's noteven like he's a game manager kind of
guy. He's not even that anymore. Yeah, he's bad. He is
bad. I've been so frustrated.I have Dvante Adams on my fantasy team

(37:59):
and I has been Oh man,I'm literally gonna mention this week and this
is the week he's gonna cook.Yeah, of course, who's to play
this week. I don't know howthey played this week. Man, I
haven't. I just haven't against theRaiders, who cares. Yeah, it's
one of those things, man,I've been so despondent from I pretty much

(38:20):
was just like I'm putting t Higginsin regardless. Yeah, it's just like
why watch you know, It's justlike why pay the Raiders unless you're a
Raders fans of course, which mycod you why play? Why I care
about them? When there's good teamslike the Eagles, the line, the
But yeah, are we considered theCowboys still good? Yeah? The Cowboys

(38:40):
are a good team. Cowboys,you know, why not just pay attention
and watch watch good football. That'sgonna be the premier game this weekend.
Cowboys and Eagles. Yeah, Imean two teams. Listen. A couple
of weeks ago, those teams,Cowboys and Eagles were both the best teams
in the league, and now wehave the question about one of them being
the Eagles and Eagles. Well,I guess that's where the question comes into,

(39:07):
right, I mean it is aquestion all across the board because we're
asking are the Eagles the best teamin the NFC or I guess in the
overall NFL. When you look atit in the NFC, Eagles seven to
one, Lions six and two,Seahawks five and two, Dallas Cowboys five
and two, forty nine Ers fiveand three. Yeah, if you asked

(39:28):
me two weeks ago. I thoughtthe forty nine Ers were the best team
in football. Yeah, things havechanged. Then they went to the dog.
They relaxed. Hey bro, itwas take it easy. And then
they lost the Kirk as well.They got putting the dog out, relaxed.
Then you got Kansas City, KansasCity at six and two, Miami

(39:52):
at six and two, Jacksonville Jaguarsat six and two, and the Baltimore
Eveans at six and two. Whyhell, that was just let down for
the Ravens. Oh my goodness,you didn't keep well. I'm not surprised.

(40:12):
The Ravens are six and two.The Jaguars are a surprise. They're
six and two. Yeah. Ilooked in the carrying the been from last
year. Hey man, all creditdue to the Jaguars. They won five
straight games. I think not.I mean what they beat the Bills in
that stretch. Look, I alwayssay they think the didn't they beat they
just win? They beat the Steelers. Yeah, sure, aren't terrible.

(40:43):
I'm not gonna good anytime. Anyimagine eating someone's food. Imagine somebody's food
to say it wasn't terrible. Fourand three, they're fine, But that's
When you see that description, itkind of gives you the feel of like
the kind of caliber of teams we'retalking about here. If you're if you're

(41:04):
gonna say they're not terrible or they'refine, like we easily said, think
Dallas Cowboys are a good a goodteam and they're only one win ahead of
the Steelers. I mean, yeah, I mean it's book wise though,
I mean Cowboys, I mean theforty three on the Rams. Because it's
a talent thing. They're they're moretalented team. Yeah, I mean they're

(41:25):
high or higher than exactly. Sothat's one of those things where now when
we're talking about the best teams andthe quality of the wins, I kind
of look at the Jaguars, I'mlike, ah, I give them credit
for the last five wins. Ithink the Bills are the most the most,
the highest quality when they have inthat stretch obviously, but when it
comes down to like the top tier, I think the Chiefs, Yeah,

(41:47):
obviously, it's always it's always theChiefs. I think you have the ego,
the egles bean because here's here's mything. Damn man, my throat
is still congested, but here's mything. The Eagles had just beat the
Dolphins two weeks ago. Yes,And to me, when you're when you're

(42:10):
able to get a quality win againsta team like the Dolphins, because the
Dolphins were also another team that everybodyfelt like was flying high and so on,
and the Eagles are able to beatthem. But then the Eagles go
ahead and have a loss like theyhad to the Jets. Yeah, Zach
Wilson, Zach Wilson, Man,but the Jets have one yea, what

(42:34):
did he say? He was like, three four seconds ain't a problem.
It helps when you got that defenseback in you, bro, he made
it work. It was it washim. Sure, that's raid. But

(42:54):
then you look at a team likethe Ravens. The Ravens recently beat the
Cardinals, they beat the Lions,they beat the Titans, they beat the
loss of the Steelers, they beatthe Browns, they lost to the Colts,
they beat the Bengals, and theybeat the Texans. So I don't
know, man, I'm kind ofstuck here where I'm great in each team.
I guess in ways, it kindof comes down to how do you

(43:15):
feel about each team's defense, andthen how do you feel about the quarterback?
Corresponding to that defense, because Ifeel as though every single time when
the only team I think ever reallygets away with not having a great I
don't know how you would say,but any team that gets away with not

(43:37):
having a great all around or agreat defensis side of the ball and able
to get to the Super Bowl isa team like the Chiefs. And then
every other team has to have itbe where they also have to be one
of the top teams in terms ofthey have to be like a top ten
defense or so. But the Chiefscan be like a middling defense but still
be one of the best teams inthe NFL. That makes sense, Yeah,

(44:00):
And I don't really see that fromeverybody else in the league. So
I feel as though I'm always comfortablewith the Chiefs more so giving them that
leeway rather than anybody else. Butthen you have a team like the Eagles,
and if you have that on bothon both sides, right, you
have both the defense that stops thatlimit scoring and you have the defense that's

(44:21):
able to get to the quarterback andso on, it makes it tough to
run. Then I'm like, well, shouldn't that be shouldn't maybe that should
elevate you even just over the greatnessof an individual like Patrick Mahomes. Is
it last year? No? Yeah, that's the tough part, man,

(44:43):
I don't know. Would you youwould take the Chiefs over the Eagles?
Yeah, at this point, doubtPatrick Mahomes. At this point. My
man said, it's a foegun conclusion. Listen, if you ask me,
like if if they have a similarrecord, I'm just gonna take Patrick Mahomes

(45:07):
over over the other ones. I'mjust gonna do it. Okay, they
played, and to be fair,they lost to I don't know what happened
on something I want. I'm gonnacompletely I have no idea what happened,
but that's a that's an ugly loss. I think that loss will kind of
I feel like that's gonna be oneof those losses they like, you know,

(45:27):
teams just need to get punches themount and pomps, and I feel
like that's gonna be that game forthem. Do I ask this question?
Yes, No, I don't think. I don't think I do yet.
You already put it out there.What is it? I don't think I
should do it. Put it outthere. You can cut it in post.

(45:50):
I'm not gonna cut it. Idon't want to ask. I don't
want to be one of I'm notdoing it. You just put it out
there already, Like stop, justput it out there. Do you think
the whole No, I'm not doingit. You're bro. If you don't
hurry up and ask this question,I would hang up. You think there's

(46:12):
anything to the Taylor Swift stuff?No? God, no, Bro,
Look, I can't lie them.Stats is kind of stating, Bro,
I'm not gonna lie. BRO.I was looking at the number. I
was like, Yo, they reallyare garbage when she ain't there, Bro,
No, I just listen. Youneed a bigger sample slot. So,

(46:36):
Bro, when Taylor Swift is there, they're four and oh, they
average twenty eight point five points pergame, Travis Kelcey averages one hundred and
eight yards per per game. Whenshe's not there, they're two and two.
They averaged eighteen point three points pergame, and Travis Kelcey averages fifty
receptions fifty yards per game. Areyou feeling it's the Baddy effect? Bro?

(47:01):
Might be the bro. Let metell you, BRO, the whole
chees roster turns into Jordan Poole.Bro us not bringing up Jordan Pool even
he got baddies in the in thein the arena. He ain't uh,
he ain't him. We know,we know what kind of shots Jordan Poole
starts taking when the baddies is inthe attendance. Bro let me tell you,

(47:22):
bro, Listen, I'm sure thereare some that was there in Washington,
and my man has not looked anythinglike he used to. No,
brother, not course side though,you know what matters when the course side.
Come on now you you shouldn't haveplayed yesterday. No, what do
he doing? Man? Man?Listen, man, he was came down

(47:43):
the court on the on the transition, stopped, you know, did a
little did a little look at therim to the step back there because through
that Jont got the ball back basketand then got it got a bucket on
the other end. It was like, why are you trying to shoot over
a seven? Three guys like,just question Jordan puill be wilding, bro.

(48:06):
Bro. They were like it waslike forty three to nineteen. That's
the first quarter. Really, Ohthey were smoke. Oh man, the
team sucks, but like Washington,Washington's listen, you got they got a
world series out of that. Butmy gosh, are they like it's like
they won the World Series and alltheir teams suffered for it. For real

(48:30):
though, But no, they gota World Series, they got the Caps
won a championship two. Oh yeahthey did, they did, they did
always you know, what's the brocockey? Hey, didn't the Mystics win
a championship a couple of years backto I don't think that was oh they
Yeah, they didn't they? Ohisn't that like all the same year?
Actually? Yeah, I think itwas close. I don't think it was

(48:51):
all the same year, but Ithink they were close, relatively close.
Maybe. I think did they sellout for all for that? For they
filed all the other teams for that, sold their soul just for this the
greatest, the greatest stretch of sportsin Washington, DC. Sometimes bro oh

(49:16):
my gosh, man. But Iwill say of all these teams that we've
noted, because look, the Chiefsright now in that conversation in terms of
top defenses, Cowboys are second.In terms of passing yards allowed, Chiefs
are fifth. Ye, Ravens areright under them. Not terrible. Yeah,

(49:36):
I mean, if you're up thereon defense and the Ravens are right
behind you, I'm I'm inclined tokind of look at that and be like,
well, you're you're able to holdteams because you're able to contain the
passing game for sure against teams.So I don't know, man, I
guess I would be more inclined tochoose the Chiefs. It was a bad

(49:58):
the Sunday was a bad loss.It was again, I don't know what
happened, but like I said,sometimes it's just but you know, like
the Broncos they have they needed thatkind of lost earlier in the season.
You know, they kind of inthe mouth. But isn't there any credit
to give the Eagles for the factthat they've really only had one of those

(50:20):
losses while the Chiefs have had two. No, and I don't want to
say the Lions were a bad loss, but no, Again, it's kind
of weird when you already won theSuper Bowl. It's like you just like,
I don't know, it just kindof gives you a little bit of
I'll give them a little bit ofleeway. Like I'm gonna be honest.

(50:43):
I mean, you you have twoSuper Bowls and you've been to the Super
Bowl, got three of the lastfive years. Yeah, pretty much.
I just try you have mostly thesame offense. You know, they use
certain the main key pieces just likethat, listen. I trust that they
know what they're doing. Yeah,it's gonna be interesting. But or Michael

(51:07):
NFC like obviously a bunch of teamsin there, do you have a team
that you were just like, man, I hope they do well the Lions
exactly. Okay, Yeah, Ireally want the Lions to have Yeah,
they're there, that city's been throughit, Lord jar Yeah, I want

(51:32):
to Golf to play well too.Yeah. I think it was kind of
the sucky part about the Rams goingand trading and getting Matthew Stafford and winning
that first year is that it kindof appears as though Jared Goff is what
was holding the back. Yeah,so you know, now you hope Golf
is able to kind of go outthere, and you know, I think

(51:53):
he has. He's going out likegood quarterback. He's a good quarter But
that was never the question about Golfthough. He's kind of he kind of
falls into the Kirk Cousins conversation.Yeah. Granted, Kirk has not had
any postseason success to degree that JaredGoff has had, right, Yeah,
but I think it, Uh,I think like he's he's like shown like

(52:14):
he's a really good quarterback. He'snot. He's not an okay guy,
He's not middle of the brown.He's a really really good quarterback. Yeah,
yeah, i'd agree. So that'sdefinitely the team. I mean,
what is that? Would that bethe same team for you in the NFC?
Yeah, okay, all right,Well let's talk about the NBA.
We initially were going to talk aboutHarden and then that is what we were
supposed to with hey Man, ChaseYoung. He the NFL found a way

(52:38):
to still uproot the NBA in termsof news. Man started the whole thing
talking about how the NBA, likeMan saying that immediately jumped in the NFL.
Is the NFL my true love?Who knows? But but yes,
the seventy six ers finally finally tradedJames Harden. Man, No, we

(53:00):
no longer have to talk about willhe won't he be there? And yeah,
it's one of the most tired storylinesI think trade news. I think
man, we had imagined no,because you imagine, right, we went
from straight from Damian Lillard right intoJames Arden. It was pretty annoying.
But I think the Dame thing wasworse because Dames thing has been a build

(53:21):
up of years. Yeah, yeah, hard James. James was definitely worse
because it was also like you getthe updates of like nothing's happening, but
they were still like fluffing up,like oh, Miami, Miami and the
Blazers are still talking and not muchyou know, Miami refuses to add this,
and it's like, bro, youliterally just copy and paste of this

(53:42):
week from like two weeks ago.We didn't need an update, yeah,
exactly. So it was it waslike that with Dame Dame, and it
felt like a lot of regurgitated information, That's what I'm saying. It just
was like for James Harden. Honestly, James Harden put the trade request out
there and it was just kind oflike, all right, well, you
know, we get an updated oncein a while that you know, it

(54:04):
was like updates of like they're notputting Karen's man and they're not putting Norman
Palin. It was getting annoying though, man, because it was like,
oh, pretty much the updates justbecame oh, can you guys mend the
relationship? No, hey, canyou guy? Do you do you think
you'll ever be able to mend therelationship. No. Yeah, and that's
what our updates were for an extendedperiod of time. Talking about James Harden,

(54:28):
I was like, dude, comeon, man, he's not he's
not cool with Daryl no more.Yeah, he ain't rocking with them exactly.
And then it became a thing ishe wasn't at practice. He missed
two practice. Oh yeah, yeah, that one too. I feel that
was good though, Like you're justlike dip it in the bug. We're
not, you know, we're gonnatrade. But I'm finally happy it finally

(54:51):
happened. I think when we're lookingwhen we evaluate the trade the sixer cent
James Harden, PJ. Tucker,and Philip Petrusev to the Clippers from Marcus
Morris, Robert Covington, Nick batoumkJ Martin at twenty twenty eight unprotected first
round pick, two second round picksand a twenty twenty nine pickswap and an
additional first round pick from the OklahomaCity Thunder. Now when evaluing, evaluating,

(55:17):
and then real quick, the Clippersare sending a twenty twenty seven first
round pickswap to the Oklahoma City Thunder, clearing the way for the Thunder to
move a protected twenty twenty sixth firstround pick to the Sixers. According to
Adrian wardron Narowski, who did whobroke the news on this? I want
to make sure I give proper journalistto credit. He broke this thing at
two forty am in the morning,Yeah he did. I was awake at

(55:42):
one, literally an hour after Igo to bed. This man breaks the
news. Shout out to him.I really don't know how they do it.
The thing where he was, hewas actually getting on the plane and
somebody, somebody told him like,oh, it was like super. It
was like evening too. It wasn'teven like in the morning or anything.
It was like five o'clock and theywere like, yeah, don't have a

(56:02):
plane. Something's happening. And he'slike he's sacked up like twelve hours and
waiting for like, well, Iguess like like nine ten hours waiting for
something to come through before that camethrough. Oh really yeah wow, I
mean it's nuts. These trades.They happen so fast, and the news
gets pushed so quick that, yeah, a player could be in mid air

(56:23):
and then all of a sudden they'refan out, they're traded, and then
they get, they have to takeanother plane to go to their new team's
destination. So that's just how fastthese things go. And the Sixers end
up waving Danny Green to create rosterspace for all the people coming in the
trade. So they're bringing back wellI feel so essentially they're bringing back a

(56:47):
lot of expiring contracts that keep themand put in the ability to have as
much as fifty million to around sixtyfive million salary cap space next summer.
So when we're in value waiting freeagents going into next summer, guys like
Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, Wow, what tea they play for? All

(57:08):
right? Are all going to befree agents, right, So the Sixers
are essentially they traded a lot ofthe expiring contracts to try and now be
able to have cat space going nextinto next year because essentially all these players
they got, they're just all fillerpieces. They're nice to have on a
team when you have a championship calibercenter piece as well as a second role

(57:30):
guy, and then they're the guysthat space the floor. They're your whatever,
your second in rotation defenders or whateverthe case might be, spot up
shooters, whatever the case is.Right, So man, that's strong those
players. Look, man, that'sthe closest thing I can come up with
because that's all we got. Playwhen I said they got a lot of

(57:58):
stuff, So I mean that's essentiallyhow I feel about him, and they
just got stuff, Like they reallydid, just get stuff. I'm not
trying to be disrespectful to those playerseither. But oh but listen, Marcus
washed, but to hurt wash washed. Robert Covington pretty I mean, he's

(58:22):
still pretty good. I mean,like he's not He's not bad, but
he's not He's not the Robert theyhad or the Robert Covington of of Portland
and kJ Martin is just young andraw. The main thing is you got
those picks and gaps space next year. Yeah, that's the focus. Yeah,
I mean you're kind of punting thisseason kind of sort of because I

(58:45):
mean, are you. Yeah,Tyree looks a baby. I mean he's
shooting. He's shooting an unreal percentagefrom three right now, So I'm kind
of like, let's let that howdown. Yeah, you know, he's
gonna return to Earth, But Imean he's so I think he I think

(59:05):
he could be a twenty five pointsfor game score. I don't think that
out of the rum possibility. ButI don't know, Like is Joel Embiid?
Yeah, you're playing the season.If you're not beating if you're not
beating Boston, h Boston, Milwaukeemight not haven beat Miami or the Knicks.

(59:30):
I was really sitting on the nextI was like, man, did
they beat the Knicks? Really?It's a look man, after I saw
what Joel Andmbid did last year inthe playoffs. Yeah, nothing's guaranteed,
That's what I'm saying, Like,I don't know, I don't know that.
That's why I said, they're kindof just playing the season. The
team's not done enoughing in the championship. No, not at all. So

(59:53):
it's like you're kind of playing theseason, which is always a little dicey
when you have a guy who's twentyeighty nine. You don't you're not guaranteed
creations. We've seen that fail somany times. Yeah that's the Knicks.
Shout shout out Dallas, Mavericks.Oh man, Dallas. Yeah, yeah,

(01:00:15):
every year the only way they couldget a dude is by trading for
him. Every year. Man,We Dallas back cast based. Don't come
away with anything. Yeah, itsounds about right, which is what made
the Dirt Trider titles so much moresweeter. Honestly, you really did.
Yeah, the But for the soPhilly, like I said, they're kind

(01:00:37):
of punning this season. They're gonnamake the playoffs, but it's not they're
probably not gonna go anywhere. Theymight win the first round to playing on
who they play. If they getlike a five, four or five matchup,
then may be able to sneak asneak of a second round appearance.
But once you get to the upperechelon teams, there's no team I picked
them over, and so I meanthat's kind of I don't think there's too

(01:01:02):
much to talk about with Evilly.Honestly, I guess there's one thing I
didn't want to say about Philate isthat I think the one thing that this
does do is that I think lockerroom culture and health is important, right,
and I think clearing this cloud outfrom the team was important, and

(01:01:23):
to get that done was important.Yeah, early in the get it out
the way exactly, And so Ithink that preferably you would have liked to
have done it in training camp rightbefore all. This would have just kept
being a thing that Jewel Embiid thenhad to answer questions about, because that's
really your Your clock is always youryour best player's clock, your championship window,

(01:01:47):
per se. And Jewel Embiid rightnow he's with the team through twenty
twenty six twenty seven season. Hehas a player option in twenty twenty six.
So yeah, I think that whenyou're on that type of time.
Granted, NBA contracts don't work likeNFL contracts because guys could just say I
don't want to be here anymore,and all of a sudden they get traded,
as we've seen countless times. Right, Yeah, And I think that

(01:02:10):
for Joel Embiid, it's important.I think that while I say they got
stuff, I think it's important thatthey did get those picks and they do
have expiring contracts. The main thingI've been I don't think i'll in the
chat, but the main thing isyou get the pick. Those picks could

(01:02:32):
be used. I mean, Iexactly doubt it that they that they actually
use these picks. They probably justcould be packaged it moved in the case
of like they in case somebody comesavailable free agent before free agency, during
the draft, or even during theseason, you know you can package those
up. You have the Bias Harescontract, you have those guys who you

(01:02:55):
just traded four contracts to move,you know, middle of the season,
you know you can do a lotwith those picks. And I think that
ability for the team to then addresswhatever holes they feel like they might have,
which is their their biggest holes aregoing to be is another score or
playmaker alongside Tyresse Maxi and Dreel Embiidon that offense. And I think that

(01:03:17):
that's gonna be their biggest thing unlessTyree's develops to such a degree where you
kind of feel the void somewhat ofhardened, and maybe you can spin those
picks or something into whatever whatever youcan get for them. But the point
is that now you have capital tomake something happen, and you have cap
space that where you're not gonna ifyou do want to go get a guy,
you can go and get that guyif you need to sign them.

(01:03:37):
And let's say if it's a guylike some I don't have the whole free
agent the upcoming free agency list aheadof me. But if you go and
get a guy you trade from,you go get his bird rights, you
can't exceed the salary cap now tosign that player, whatever the case might
be, and you have and youabsorb that into your cap as well,
since you have that much money ofcap space going into next season. That

(01:03:59):
I think for the Sixers, theypositioned themselves as best they could to make
sure they didn't feel too much ofa because in terms of player capital,
what you always want when you're tradinga star is young player capital or a
crap ton of quality draft capital.In terms of quality draft capital, I
don't think that's I don't think thesethis is the best draft capital they could
have received. Granted, Granted,I will say, though, is that

(01:04:23):
twenty nine picks from the Clippers interestingprospects? When Yeah, I was gonna
actually I was actually gonna touch onthat right before you wanted to jump back
to the Sixers. Yeah, it'sit's a very interesting prospect because I remember
when the I think it was whenthe Lakers initially did their trade for Brandon

(01:04:45):
Ingram and that group of guys,right, and the difference the main the
main reason why I always felt Iwas comfortable with the Lakers doing that trade
and their picks, even with theout the the distance of how far those
you know, the ramifications some ofthose picks would be is that I think
even some of those picks and pickswaps ready have started coming into effect for

(01:05:10):
the Lakers, and Lebron James hasalready has still been to me a better
and healthy player than Kawhi Leonard andPaul George. You don't have to say
two yearly he has you look,I just always I don't like to assume
my opinion is the is the consensusopinion. But listen, that's one of
those things you can you can saypretty confidently. So it's one of those

(01:05:31):
things where the Pelicans aren't getting thattype of return on what you know,
the investment is because a lot oftimes you make those far out trades because
you're like, oh, those guyswill be gone from the team by then,
or people they won't be as goodby then, or whatever the case
might be. For the Clippers,it actually is a reality. That's why
the Oklahoma City picks are valuable becausethose dudes get hurt all the time,

(01:05:56):
and you never know what's gonna happenwith those I mean great at the NBA,
the new CBA, who knows whatcould happen, right and what were
you You're gonna say somewhere you gonnasay, I was gonna say not even
not even them getting injured all fourif they're big, they're big. Guys
are free agents that year. Yeah, so you're looking at that, it's

(01:06:17):
like, say, James Harden,Paul George, don't resign, Kawhi Rust
don't resign, whoever doesn't resign.It's like those picks are looking look pretty
good. Yeah, exactly exactly.So when you have that, and then

(01:06:38):
you have that as a bargainship withwhatever teams you're going for, you could
go and try and pull another piecein with Joel. And I think if
Joe, if Joelle can find away to maintain his MVP play, they
can be anybody in the Eastern Conference. I feel like outside of probably three
teams, oh okay, because Idon't think even at Joel's best, I

(01:07:00):
don't think they beat Boston. Idon't think even though they were they should
have beat Boston last year. ButBoston got better, that's yeah, but
Boston improved. So now even ifthey Joel played that great, I don't
think they get there. Milwaukee.I think Milwaukee got better. So yeah,
you know, right. So Ithink from that standpoint, you're looking

(01:07:25):
at those two teams, and thenI still think Miami is is just better.
Like Miami is gonna do what theydo in the regular season and then
somehow in the postseason they still figureout a way to make it work.
I think if Joelle is as dominantas he should be, they have a
chance against the Knicks. But ifI had a pick, I would still
pick the Knicks. But I stillthink, yeah, if Joelle plays out

(01:07:46):
of his mind, I think thatthe Knicks technically have all around. I
think all around they have a bettera better team in terms of depth and
everything included. But tom top end, obviously, the Sixers take that with
Joel. If Joell, if Joelplays up to that's the thing, is
the if, right, It's theif, and it's a big if.

(01:08:11):
And you got to take into accountwhether or not he's gonna be able to
play, how many games he's gonnabe able to play in the whole nine,
and how that factors into seeding andso on. Because the Knicks,
if they get home court against theSixers team, that home court in New
York is pretty strong. Yeah,So those are things to take into account,
But I do, I do wantto shift more to because I think

(01:08:32):
the Sixers there's still I think atthe end of the day, the Sixers
aren't winning the title. I thinkthat's the biggest thing. Like you said,
they're not a title team. Yeah, they're nobody. Yeah. The
Clippers are the way more interesting teamhere, I think, yeah regards but
I and the thing that gets meabout the Clippers is that for a while,
I was at the start of theseason, probably about two games in.

(01:08:54):
It was about probably even this week, I saw the report the Clippers
were pulling back on the trade andto go siations for this trade. So
when I saw the trade come through, I was shocked because I was like,
wait, I just got the alertthat you guys were pulling out,
like pulling, you know, notonly get back on trying to pursue a
trade for this man. And inpart because Russell Westbrook was playing so well,

(01:09:17):
and it's one of those things thatruss I felt as though this was
the perfect situation for Russell Westbrook.You have, you have wings that can
shoot, you have a big manthat could run, pick and roll,
can easily catch the ball, finisharound the rin in the visas Zubac,
Yeah, and Russ. That givesRuss ample spacing to be able to operate

(01:09:39):
how he wants to operate. SoI figured, I figured, hey,
look, they're gonna go ahead andlet him be able to beat the facilitator.
He's averaging eleven points right now onHe's shooting incredible right now, sixty
percent shooting, yeah, fifty percentfrom the field, six point seven,
assists, seven point three rebound andso right now he's playing he's playing fantastic

(01:10:03):
basketball. So that's why I waslike, maybe they're gonna think rethink it,
But I think, at the whatyou're shorting this man? Shoot?
That's why I said, he shootingsixty percent from the field, don't don't
short this man. No, heshooting fifty from three, but he's only
taking like two point seven in agame. So yeah, yeah, But

(01:10:26):
I think I think the mentality ofthe Clippers is that, hey, look,
even if Russ is playing great,we still run into situations where teams
just don't guard him. Right Andgranted there have been counters to it.
You obviously by having Rush become moreof an off ball slasher, by putting
him the dunker spot, by havingRuss do little things here and there to

(01:10:47):
try and combat that. That's howthey try to fight that off and make
teams pay for it. But nothingmakes a team pay for it more than
just putting another shooter out there.And why not? Who better than the
guy who led the league and assistsa year ago. And so when you
think about that, if I'm theClippers, I understand the rationale because I

(01:11:09):
feel bad for us because it's probablya perfect situation for him. But I
mean, I think essentially what thisdoes is this slides Russ to the bench.
Oddly enough, right, if Jamesis better than him, this is
yeah, it's gonna slide him tothe bench where he could fulfill that Chris
Paul roll like Chris Paul's doing inGolden State right now. And you can
have a very viable bench unit that'sable to keep that. You don't have

(01:11:33):
that on off dip every single timethat the two main guys have to go
to the bench, that you allof a sudden falter whatever you know or
sorry, Paul, George and Kawhihave to sit. And so when you
put James Harden in there, andI think that's been the issue we've known
The issue for the Clippers has beenhaving a legit playmaker every single time.

(01:11:53):
And now when you fill that gap, do you now see this team over
a team like the Lakers, theNuggets, the Warriors, oh, Grizzlies.
No, even though the Grizzlies.The Grizzlies haven't won a game.
Yeah, they also don't have theirbest players. That is also an important
point. Oh the Kings, youknow what. I'm shocked. I'm shocked

(01:12:18):
you feel that way. Grizzly,Sure I take them, Yeah, that's
what I say. I am Iam perplexed you feel that way, So
you wouldn't even put them over GoldenState. I will only take them with
the Grizzlies because Steven Adams's er.Yeah, you're not high on the Clippers,
are you. I'm not. I'llsay you're ready straight up, I'm
not high on the Clippers. Why. Uh, First of all, I

(01:12:42):
have to trust Paul George and KawhiLeander is gonna stay healthy. Okay,
but let's be fair, But Ithink this conversation we're having is in consideration
that they're gonna be there. Nope, I'm not gonna have that conversation because
they have not shown since they've gottento the Clippers that they could be healthy.
I'm not getting them the visit oftheir doubts. This is not a
situation where it's like, you know, I'll get I get the Lakers benefit

(01:13:04):
of the doubts because I know AncyDavis is gonna have a freak injury at
some point, he'll recover it,He'll be good for the playoffs, and
Lebron will be fine for the playoffs. I trust that you know, whatever
durable player they Pahi and Paul Georgein no point in time have shown me
that they can they will be goodand ready for playoffs, going and healthy.

(01:13:26):
Yeah, so that's my first firstof all, that's my biggest issue.
Second of all, my my otherbig issue is kind of like it's
a lot of how I say this. They don't have a big besides you
Ba, they're very and I meanvery small, And so my question is

(01:13:56):
what happens so two of the teamsyou're laying named off And that's why I
was quick say no, they're notjust the Lakers. Is Anti David is
gonna have a field day and you'renot stopping Yokis is already just gonna dominate
and now you're like, your bestone only option really is Zubax? Yeah?
Am sure, I'm missing a teamthat has another great days in the
West. I looked at I lookedat Minnesota too, and I'm like,

(01:14:21):
why not them? Really? Yeah, that's why not? Wow? I
don't know, Matt. They looklook roughly start this season. I'm not
faith. I've really gotta have alot, not a lot of faith in
Kawhi and Paul George Minnesota. Ilisten my all right, So here's my

(01:14:45):
thing with Minnesota is how much ofa jump does Andy Edwards made and how
well? Because you remember, alsoCarlton Towns was hurt all years basically for
like thirty months last year. Thisyear he's gonna be He's gonna He's been
healthy for most of his career.I'm gonna take a while. I guess
he'll be healthy this year. Hehow does he compliment Auntie Edwards? And

(01:15:13):
how do him and Rudy Gobert figureout how to make it work? Those
are two questions I have. Andif Carlinton Twisen, if they make it
work with Carlinston Townson at the Edwardslisten, Bruce Brown said it last year,
Bro they were hard. They werenot needing a team to beat.
I don't doubt Look, I don'tI don't dispute that, but I don't

(01:15:34):
think there's been an instance outside ofthe bubble when they lost where the Clippers
have lost outside of them just beinghurt. Also, the other thing is
is like, once you get tothe playoffs again, I have to rely
I have to trust James Harden theplayoffs. But but you don't. You

(01:15:56):
don't have to as much. Listen, he's your third option. Rus is
not the third option. James Hardenis your third option. If he disappears,
that team is no. I disagreewith this point, Heavy, I
know you do. Listen, I'mjust saying your third option disappears, things

(01:16:17):
become a lot harder again. Sonow you're now you're combining two issues.
You're combining issue of you don't havea big so bigs are gonna feast on
you, and now your third optionsdisappears. A large part of the reason
why I disagree with this is becausewhen you're a third option, you have
so much less pressure on you thanwhen you're a second or one option.

(01:16:39):
Harder being in the three spot andthe being a third option, he's gonna
get so much more easier look,so many easier buckets than he would have
gotten at any point in Philly.We saw some of that with him on
Brooklyn for sure, And I thinkthat when you're looking at it, with
him being the third option here,he has to he has way less responseility

(01:17:00):
in terms of having to be aguy that creates his own scoring and stuff
like that. I don't think it'seven comparable to what he had to do
in the previous spots. No,listen, some guys just I took this
last song we were on the podcastsafter they lost. It's just like some
guys they've built to that they're not. But you're one and two can carry
you even if you're If you're oneand two are dominant enough, they can

(01:17:24):
carry you beyond the performance of abad three. Do you think it is
called George dominant at all? Whenhe got them to the Western Conference finals,
even when when when Kawhi Leonard gothurt, he did he did do
that, Okay, And it's toughbecause it's one of those things the biggest
the biggest question for those that teamis there is their health. But I've

(01:17:45):
always said I think that if they'renot if they were healthy, if we
could, if we just said weknow that team is going to be healthy,
how would you evaluate that team.They're one of the scariest teams in
the West because they deal with somany of the facets that are great about
teams in the West. Yes,they might be weakened the big spot,
but they handle so many of thewings that are what are predominantly the greatest,

(01:18:06):
the best features of some of theseteams, the Warriors, what is
their greatest strength their wings? WhatAnthony Edwards is the best part of the
Timberwolves outside of Karl Anthony Towns.They have literally two players designed just for
that. They even even the I'mmissing Denver then nobody can handle your kids,
Okay, that's just a given.But you have two guys that are

(01:18:29):
able to hopefully deal with Jamal Murrayand Michael Porter Junior if he's ends up
being the guy in that series,whatever the case, might happen. Right,
So, I think, and evenif you're talking about Luka Doncis and
Kyrie Irving in Dallas, you havetwo guys specifically pinned for that. So
I think it's one of those thingsthat I what if you're if they're if

(01:18:50):
they're constantly checking the top two guys. Let's say, because now you're saying
you have to you have to putall your effort in on defense and you
have to also carry it out.That's a lot of work. No,
But here's the thing, though,you don't have to do it all the
time. You do it, andselect you do it in specific moments.

(01:19:11):
It's it's a lot of work.If you're doing it from forty two minutes,
yeah, sure. But when you'redoing it, when you're doing it
in key possessions of the game,then you can disrupt an offense and the
whole, the whole. You cantake a guy out of the game and
keep Lebron wasn't guarding Derek Rose inMiami. When Lebron was in Miami,
he wasn't guarding Derek Rose all thetime. Lebron doesn't guard the key wings

(01:19:32):
all the time, but he'll takecertain possessions, key possessions that he knows
are pivotal to a game, andsay, I'm going to lock up.
I can give you a possession ondefense locked in for two, maybe two
to three possessions. I can giveyou that you would hope Paul Georgia Kawai
can give you more than that.But if you just need that from them,
what's difference is that they had ShaneBattier, you know, and other

(01:19:56):
wing guys who could take that,who could just you know, guard them
while Lebron and then played help side. You have now you have James Harden
Slash rust the West. Neither ofthem are bit defenders being the ones out
there. What I would what Iwould surmise is probably you're gonna end up
putting. I mean, you're yougot a guy quality guy in like Norman

(01:20:19):
Powell that you can you can convertinto being one of those guys that you
throw out there to try and guardsomebody. And yes, I but here's
the thing is, it's not It'snot the fact you have to guard them
all games. I don't care ifLuka doncis as a forty it's a Kirk
Cousins analogy. I don't care ifLuca has a forty point game. I
just got to make sure that thelast two minutes of the game where the
game's close, that I'm making surethat I have the best guys that make

(01:20:42):
it the toughest deal for Luca Doncisto score. That's what I need.
If it's a close game at thatpoint and we have our two guys,
that's fine, because that other teamdoesn't have two other guys that can match
up on the wing like we thatlike the Clippers can. The biggest issue
I have is that all those guysthat you mentioned out of Anti Edwards are
phenomenal playmakers. Luca Brown, whenyou get to the when you get to

(01:21:05):
the the Suns, instead of beDevin Booker, the I mean, the
Douggets, obviously Jokic. All theseguys are a phenomenal players. So it's
like you can say, oh,well, we're just gonna stop those They
all great playmakers. They're not justthe Tours. No. I agree with

(01:21:26):
that point, But it's just aboutmaking that job tougher on them to do
what they do. And and alot of the great playmaking I think comes
into effect, particularly when you're whenyou have to do expend a lot of
defensive resources on help defense and soon. But if you're if you're selling
Kawhi and PG, hey man,just go straight up out there and guard
those guys. Granted, no greatplayer can be guarded one on one if

(01:21:49):
you're but if you're saying, hey, we'll settle with them just having to
take a tough bucket, you takethat, yekay. I just I just
don't. I just don't agree thatthat was the whole selling pitch of the
Clippers team. That was this,this whole duo, that was their cell,
their cell. So I'm that's whatI'm essentially banking on to for them

(01:22:12):
to be able to ride in theplayoffs, is for them to be able
to do that in terms of justI mean, granted, look, I'm
a Laker fan. I want theLakers to win, so that's my belief.
But I and I can see ascenario where how this works for the
Clippers, especially when it comes todefensive wing flexibility and capability. The main
thing is for me is that sincethey went to the Western Conference, every

(01:22:36):
team has gotten way better. Yeah, that's that's my thing. It's like,
does this Russell Westbrook Jane Harden duothat they've added while also decimating their
death does it? Does it putyou on the at those team. Maybe

(01:22:58):
I'm not gonna jump out there andsay yeah, but I just I just
see them as a pier below thetop teams in the But what did you
say that, along along with thoseother teams getting better, that the Clippers
have now gotten better because one ofthe biggest problems that they had in when
they lost to the Nuggets and throughouteven the past few years, we always
said the Clippers need a point guard, and now they legitimately have the bet

(01:23:20):
one of the best playmakers in thein the league. Sure they still so
they fixed the one issue and theystill have a blaring other issue. But
the problem is the glaring other issue. They were still able to win in
spite of that issue. And that'swhat I'm saying. All the teams have
gotten better in terms of like Ijust feel like a big in the West

(01:23:41):
has just gotten more stacked. Butdo you feel like, do you feel
like the Clippers lost in moments becauseof the Bigs in the West, Like,
Okay, I guess played that's well, they lost the Nuggets in the
bubble, But do you feel asthough the Bigs are or what is like
the issue is that because I thinkmost of the time when people describe the

(01:24:03):
Achilles Hill with the Clippers, it'sbeen that they don't have a point guard
and they're just not a healthy teams. It feels like they're Boston. They're
Boston West, I'm sure. Butat the same time, but like,
Boston had good defensive big that's thedifference. They had Robert Williams and they
had Al Horford, who are bothgood defenders. That's my thing. So

(01:24:26):
it's like I'm looking at them andI'm like, all right, you have
Zubos and then it's like, anddo Box I'm amazing defending himself. He's
just big in a decent defender.It's like, that's why I'm like,
they're a tier below they're They're inlike the Grizzlies tier where it's like,
do I see that? I justlike, if they got to the Western,
if they got to the West propersuper surprised. I'm not saying it's

(01:24:47):
impossible. I mean I would betoo. I'm not gonna figure I'm making
the pitch here because I just like, would you take the Clippers over the
Warriors? Probably, hmhm, eventhough the Warriors are not a big team,
No, But difference is words theyhave. They have one of the

(01:25:08):
best defenders of all time in termsof like your floor general in the more
important position. Because I get that, But what I guess what I was
saying is that because a large partof what we were saying with the weakness
of the Clippers is that they lackinterior. Yeah, see the problem The
difference is Draymond makes up to that. No, but Draymond doesn't make up

(01:25:30):
for it in terms of attacking theClippers though. That's what I'm but I
still we always go back with this. We always think the best player in
the series. I respect it,Okay, I respect it. I feel
like they're in going thing. Itjust kind of operates different because you have
two of the grades shoes of alltime, and it's like, no matter

(01:25:54):
no matter how much you trying tostop, no matter trying to slow them
down, that's gonna get your shot. Clay just needs to exist. And
I guess it mostly depends on howMoses and could make us show up this
season. If those two actually makeimprovements, I feel confident taking the Wizards
of the Warriors. If they don'tshow improvements, then you could you could

(01:26:16):
sell Yeah, all right, we'llleave that there. Okay, real quick,
but let just talk about this gihonest quote because I already made a
TikTok about it. But yeah,Joannis, when talking with Chris Haynes and
Bleacher Report and so on did andsitting down with Damian Lillard in attendance there
too, he made the comment sayingthat you know, it doesn't care what

(01:26:40):
people say. This is Damian Lillard'steam now and he's and I'm gonna paraphrase
here, but in lack of betterterms, he said that the team is
going to be at its best whenDamian Lillard is the leader. Now.
Yeah, personally, I called bson that there's been no example of them
for this. Dame or Jannie hasstill led the team in shots, Joannie

(01:27:04):
leads the team in scoring, Joannisleads the team in USA DRA despite the
fact Damian Lillard is the point guard, so he has the ball in his
hands more. Ye. And soto me, I'm like, well,
it sounds nice, honest, you'retrying to get a lot of people have
been saying this as well, withmyself saying that Giannis is just trying to
get a plus teammate grade like theydo in two K. But I will

(01:27:28):
say that it's weird to me thatthis isn't like the Lebron thing when when
when Lebron went to to South Beachand he was deferring to Dwayne Wade with
understandable reason because he was joining DwayneWade's team. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's weird with Jannis like kind oftrying to concede the team to and

(01:27:49):
maybe in the grand scheme, maybethis is just the humility of honest where
he doesn't feel like there needs tobe oh, it's my team, it's
your team. But granted, ifhe didn't feel that way, then why
did he need to say in thefirst place. I guess, you know,
so I can't even really give himthat one. But when you look
at the grand scheme of things,it doesn't really make sense for a guy
to be trying to concede a teamto a guy who's four to five years

(01:28:12):
his senior, out of his primeor at the at the at the latter
part of his prime, doesn't haveeven the shred of the accomplishments that Giannis
has in terms of like, youknow, finals, MVP Championship, multiple
MVP Defensive Player of the Year,multiple First Team All NBA's the whole nine.
That degree, the degree of resumethat Giannis has accumulated with the Bucks,

(01:28:34):
as well as his reputation and hisstanding with the Bucks. It's just
weird to now have trying to elevateDamian Lillard. It's like for what reason?
Yeah, you know, it's likewhy why are we trying to do
this? I don't know what Imean, what do you think? Yeah?
I heard the quote and I justI kind of just rolled my eyes

(01:28:56):
on it. I was like,what, why why do you even say
like thebody believes that you don't needand it's like, you know, it's
like it's sometimes people just make likelike when Lebron did it, and it's
like, not Lebron, when theway did it? It makes sense,
Like you said, it made senseright, And it's like people just sometimes
say stuff that like they're like theysaw somebody else say it, so it

(01:29:17):
makes sense. But that's the same. It's like, no, you don't,
you don't have to say it brooklike there's nothing wrong with it being
yes the scene, yeah exactly,like it nothing changes, like nobody,
nobody that Damns going to come hereand you know, or it's got to
be his team or anything like that, or Dames a better player? Why
not nobody nobody, literally nobody,not a soul, not even Dames.

(01:29:40):
Agents was saying, this is thisis his team. Yeah, it was
just like it's just like a weird, weird thing to just say for no
reason. Yeah, I didn't getit a minute he said. I was
like that's cap yeh. It's likeit's just like like even day probably like
what is like who what are yousaying? Like what are you talking about?

(01:30:01):
Bro? Like this man is likeit's news to me. I'm joining
this scene because I'm not the bestplayer. Yeah, it's just it's just
a it's just a weird weird It'snot weird weird. It's just a it
was just like a try hard bro. Okay, it was unnecessary. That's
that's That's basically what it was.It was just it was just wasn't look

(01:30:23):
the toy. We appreciate you,honest, we understand you want Dame to
play like Portland Dame. But butit's like, yeah, just easing to
the season, it's early, he'son the team. Nobody, nobody is
surprised that he's struggling. You know, once he you know, he came
out early. He had the firstgame. It's like, I don't know,

(01:30:44):
maybe people have to mind reli expectations, but it's like, you know,
he still has to ease into theteam. Yeah, so you know,
I'm not gonna sit here and holdthese bad games or anything. I
guess and it's like, you know, once now women of the season,
this man is averaging like nineteen onbad shooting. Then then you know we
can have that conversation. But exactlyright now, No, that's facts.

(01:31:06):
You'll be all right, facts,All right, guys, that's gonna wrap
it up for this episode of thepodcast. Appreciate each and everyone and you
guys turn it tuning in if youcould. If you've stated this whole time
you lasted to the end of thepodcast, I appreciate you. Go ahead
and leave or a review if youhave not done that. Also that does
help the podcast in terms of ratingsand so on. And of course let

(01:31:28):
me know if you guys have anyfeedback for the podcast. You can send
that to me on Instagram, Twitter, whatever whatever platform you want to if
you want to comment as well.But I definitely will see it if you
send it to me on Twitter orInstagram, either through DM or preferably to
the KBR Sports Can. If yousend it to my own person, I'm
probably gonna ignore you, but yousend it to the KBR Sports one,

(01:31:48):
I probably will see it. Soall right, guys, I appreciate each
and everyone and you all turn ittuning in, and of course if you
guys have if you guys have anyquestions in regards to show schedule. I
think I'm enjoying most of the timesrecording Tuesdays. I think it's the easiest
thing for me to do because Itried. What I thought I was going
to do initially was recurred Mondays,try and get I was going to try

(01:32:12):
and go back to my previous schedulewomen I had both Monday or NFL and
NBA going at the same time.But a lot of my obligations have just
been especially now that I put it, I technically put out more content now
that I ever have because I putout so many TikTok shorts and stuff on
an almost daily, practically daily basis. I got sick last week so affected
it messed me up in terms ofrecording content because I just I had no

(01:32:33):
creativity while I was sick. Iwas down and out. Man, I
was down bad. But the goalis to obviously be putting out tiktoks and
shorts every day. Probably you're goingto see a snippet of this podcast being
clipped for short going up the nextday. But yeah, so I think
the podcast schedule will be every Wednesday, and then you're going to get tiktoks
and shorts every day practically, maybeoutside of Sundays and Saturdays, just depending

(01:32:58):
on whatever the news is from theNBA on Friday days or NFL going into
the weekend, and then a videoon one video a week that will probably
normally go up on Tuesdays. Ithink that works, right, Yeah,
I think that sounds good. That'sthe schedule that I agreed with my significant
other onund as well. So allright, man, you got anything to

(01:33:21):
tell the people before we get outof here? PR Sports Gaming or PBR
gaming on the way soon, It'snot, don't listen to him. What
is on the way soon is anew relative a relative word, you know,
it's not. There's a lot ofthings I need to trademark. That's

(01:33:41):
not one of them. But guys, there are some new things coming soon.
I've always I look, anybody,if you if you listen to this
podcast at this point, that youyou are a veteran and you know that
at this point, I've tried tochange his name for like years. Look
I have you know the process I'vegone through. No, I don't.

(01:34:03):
All right, First of all,when do we start this? When did
when we like originally started What doyou mean? When did we start do
with a podcast? What do youeven I've been doing this thing since college?
Act like that, me and you. I don't know because I would

(01:34:24):
say I started recording with you inlike fifteen. Let's say, yes,
so it's been seven years. It'sabout five years. This man told me
he was going to change the nameof this podcast. Yes, but then
I had a name, and thenI realized the issues I had with that
name, and then I was like, I don't want to do that name.

(01:34:45):
And then it's five years to geta name. Basically what he's saying,
I'm not saying it's a good thing. But now we have a name,
we have logos, we have thewhole nine. It's more so like
a rebrand is so hard to dobecause people know you for one name and
then you're like, damn, howdo I change the name without messing up

(01:35:05):
my audience and years ago or something. It's crazy. Few man, when
you brought the idea, I waslike, that's a great idea. And
then it never happened. All right, all right, anyway, when is
the rebrand's happening or you got aprime time frame, like we'll be out

(01:35:30):
of here. When is a goodtime to do a rebrand? When you
can when you can? Is itis it good to do it during us
like a slow period or like definitelyanswer is probably win both the NFL and
then off. Yeah, that's whatI was thinking, because I was thinking.

(01:35:50):
I was like, if I wereto do a read, because there's
some things I want to actually launch, Like there's new segments and stuff I
want to launch. But I waslike, if I do that, it
doesn't feel like the rebrand comes innothing special, you know what I mean?
Like if I just did that andeverything stayed the same. Right,
So there were some new segments andstuff I have documented here that so ideally

(01:36:15):
it would have happened this past summer, but some stuff actually happened in my
personal life that affected my ability todo the rebrand. So that actually is
is a true thing. I'm notIt doesn't excuse the years of time that
took to do a rebrand, butthis particular year stuff, Yeah, this
particular year was was shite in termsof that stuff, but you know it

(01:36:38):
happens. But guys, I appreciateyou all. We're standing here even for
longer for the rambling going on,but just to give you some backyard baseball.
So expect episodes every Wednesday. Okay. If I don't post an episode
on every Wednesday, I'll vendo arandom person ten dollars whoever whoever calls me
out about it that's not actually onthe show. Yes, I'm right on

(01:37:00):
the show. I'm here. Okay, that's why that disclaim. Right,
this is your this is your podcast, it is mine. But you've been
on here a good amount of timesat this point you or you say,
twenty fifteen, right, so Ithought that when we did it, we
don't do it anymore. This isyour show now you even so, I

(01:37:20):
just up, Bro, you've probablybeen on like the last four out of
five episodes. What you mean?But you not recording is than anything?
Nah, that's cap because every bro, where's the last time? No?

(01:37:42):
that we I always talk NBA withis you. So when NBA season is
around you're the person that I talkNBA with. Know what I'm saying.
You said last four of the lastfive. I'm just saying that ain't true.
That is true. Again, thenthat bad because we talked. We
talked NFL too, Yeah, wedid, We did, right, all

(01:38:04):
