• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I was talking to the rain in our production meeting.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: We were talking about, you know, I want to I
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: want to kind of mess with Terry in England and
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: that annoying supermarket Steve guy and these guys can that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: can play. So I'm gonna hold off on sending out
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the social media show Rundown just to annoy them. And
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Loraina is like, that's the way to do it. She
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: said that exist see right there, she encouraged me. Because
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of that. I'm gonna make you wait for that. But
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we are going to start right now at the very
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: top from five two hundred and eighty feet above sea level.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: How do I know that? It was on the front
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: of the uniform the mile High City in Island game
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The Island Life in the NBA Playoff Playoffs in just
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: one game on the NBA card Western Conference Semi Finals,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Game number six, and the ex clip Shay Jogas Alexander
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: and the Thunder looking to punch their ticket to take
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on Minnesota in the Western Conference Finals, a date in
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the Final four for Oklahoma City, and all they had
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: to do was go to Denver and beat the Nuggets.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And the media elites told me, the Nuggets have run
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: out of gas.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: There's nothing. They don't have a big enough rotation.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: They can't compete with the youthful legs of Oklahoma City.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: So surely Nikola jokicch was cooked as the Nuggets. They
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: were just trying to stay alive, but they didn't have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the depth and they're gonna run out.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You told me that. You told me that, all right.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: So I don't know if you saw the game or night.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: Maybe not. Maybe I was the only one watching.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I did it for you. It's my good mits for
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the day. So Jamal Murray, that's a basketball player. He
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: was sick. And there's nothing in all of sport that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: can match NBA broadcasters talking about players that are sick.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: They're literally on their deathbed, these players. Oh my god,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: he needed around the clock medical attention. He had the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: creeping crud. Anyway, Jamal Murray was sick. Can you imagine
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: showing up to work sick? Who does that? Well before
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: COVID most people did. Anyway, Jamal Murray was ill and,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: according to the broadcasters, could have died. He then went
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: out and scored twenty five points and the Nuggets. He
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: guided them the guiding light for Denver for some of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the game, not the entire game, but he did enough
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: there and the Nuggets end up winning rather comfortably. The
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: game was not in jeopardy in the final part of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, one nineteen to one oh seven.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: So what does that mean.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It means the series now goes back to Oklahoma City
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: for a decisive Game seven. Nicola Jokic the Joke, led
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: the way with twenty nine points for Denver.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: He had fourteen rebounds.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Eight assists, and a partridge in the pear tree. And
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Christian Brown, although it looks like its name should be Braun,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I'd rather be called Braun because that's a tough, you know,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: tough Braun. Anyway, Christian Brown had twenty three points for
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the Denver basketball team.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: And the thunder who were all giddy. They're like, oh man,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: we're in.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Good shape there, and they had some opportunities with the
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: lead in this game. But Shake Jogas Alexander had thirty two.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: It was not enough.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: However, the good news is I know Kyrie is excited
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about this and OKCS our buddy, he's a listener. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: better story is in the losing locker. So let us discuss,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: all right, the question who's the fall guy? Who's the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: fall guy for SGA's OKC squad?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of letters, SGA, OKC, who's the fall guy.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: For Oklahoma City? Unable to close out game six? So
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: my thoughts on this, I've got pow Truck, KFC and
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: eight ball and we will combine all of this randomness
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: together and we are going to make a happy dance.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Because if you bet on the Denver Nuggets, you had
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a little happy dance there. You were very happy with
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the outcome of this game.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Now, a there's one name that everyone agrees is at
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: the very top.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: If you got to have a fall gotta have a
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: fall guy, and that would be Jalen Williams. That is
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a basketball player, not a good one apparently not right now,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not getting a lot of bang for your buck
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: if you're an Oklahoma City He's got to wear this one.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: In fact, he was so bad, How bad was he?
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: He was so bad? He needed a bib. Okay, he
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: needed a.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Bib because he had a barf bag because he was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: riding the vomit Comet. And when you ride the vomit comic,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you need a barf bag. You need a bib because
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: stuff goes everywhere. And now I'm not gonna sit here
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and tell you he's the guy that is the center
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of Oklahoma City's not the centerpiece. He's a secondary scorer
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: for the Thunder. We've seen them in the playoffs here
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. And he sucked at a time you
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: cannot suck, which is from pillar to post, and took
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: fifteen shots in the game, missed twelve of the fifteen.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NBA. I just do the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Overnight show. I don't think that's good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: You're a hater man. Okay, yeah, six points, that's it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: Six points. And this game was right for the picking.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: And it's not quite to the same degree as the Knicks,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: who messed things up and they closed out Boston. They
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: gave Boston some life losing that last game in the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Eastern Conference side of the bracket. But you're messing around here.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You're messing around if you're OKAC. That game was in reach.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The game was tied at eighty late third quarter, late
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: third quarter, game tied at eighty, and right around that
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: time that is where the check engine light came on
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the dashboard for the Nuggets.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: And it was what we're calling it, the.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Perfect ten, the perfect ten because the Thunder, and it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: was not just not just Jaylen Williams, the entire.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: Thunder team needed a tow truck.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They ran out of gas. They ran out again. Now
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: killing the narrative that the youthful legs of Oklahoma City
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: they have the edge. How many of these stories have
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: we heard over the last couple of days that okayse
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he's just younger hipper, they're cooler and they've got more
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: bouncy bounce in their legs. And the Nuggets of the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: old team they don't have enough depth there, they don't
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: play enough players, all this crap. But on this night,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma City was huffing and puffing down the stretch. It
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: wasn't because of the altitude. Let's start stop with that.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: And so every time at Denver Sports teams in a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: big game it's the alta.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: They never win anything.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: Stop.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: But the Thunder did go down under. They did at
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: the end of this game, outscored in a ten minute
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: block late third quarter, late third quarter to just a
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: few minutes on the clock.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: So from late third quarter about a little less than
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: two minutes third quarter to about three minutes or so
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to go. In the basketball game, the Denver basketball team
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: outscored the Oklahoma City basketball team.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: Saw you know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: It was twenty nine to thirteen, and that was in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: a ten oh three stretch. They ended up building up.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: By the time that was all done, they had a
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sixteen point lead in that stretch. And that was all
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: she wrote. That was all she wrote. Mister MVP, jogis
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Alexander in that stretch. You're the MVP. You're supposed to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: make sure your team doesn't get buried. He took four shots,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: missed three of the four, and the thunder collectively shot
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: twenty percent. That's pepe lepew pay you twenty percent and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: even worse from behind the arc, one of nine for
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: a robust eleven point one percent from three point range.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: So that was game, set and match. And on the
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: other side, though, we gotta go to the Denver side
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of things, page two here, what was the thing that
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: pushed Nikola jokicch and the the Nuggets into the Winter Circle.
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: He was saying, well, it's gotta be Jamal Murray. It's
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: gonna be Murray Man. Murray was good. Okay, he was good.
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: Oh what about the Joker man, the joker dude. Oh yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: joker was good.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: But it was someone we've never heard of, Julian Strather
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: who he went KFC.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: In this game.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Strather who, Well, I guess he was the first round pick,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: but he must have been one of those picks we
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: don't pay attention to near the end of the first round.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: But he had the secret blend like KFC. He had
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: eleven herbs and spices all by himself in the back
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: breaking run for the Denver basketball team, that ten minute
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: stretch where they took the game over there and ended
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: up getting done the perfect ten if you will, as
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: we're calling here, He single handedly outscored a guy we've
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: never heard of, Julian Strather, outscored the.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Entire Oklahoma City team.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He had fifteen points by himself all in that stretch,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma City as a team had thirteen points in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: that stretch. So he was bounding and astounding out there
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and just dropping out of thin air and in that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: period of time. It was like he was back in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: college and he was swooping and hooping and all that.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: And Nikola Jokich, you figure he's dependable. Jamal Murray not
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: as dependable, although he does seem to make a lot
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of big baskets in playoff games. He's won several playoff
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: games in recent years with clutch play. But those guys,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you you kind of assume they're gonna be there. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: other Jabbronis are the key, and that that is problematic
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: as we turn the page here going into a Game
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: seven situation, because now it comes down.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: To the greatest two words in sport, Game seven.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: All the marbles, winner, take all, winner, take all? Oh
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: my god, winner, take all? The tension, the drama, oh rama,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: O MG.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: What is going to happen? You don't know.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: You don't know what you don't know, So you gotta
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: watch to see if you can find out what you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: don't know. Well, here is Shaye Jogis. Alexander as the
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: expected MVP, is going to tell you his thoughts on
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: a Game seven. Take a listen.
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: It's Stuart I. It's oh what you did for It's
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: what's where's your whole life. For it's yes, either your
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: dream continues or your dream ends. So you lay it
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: out out there on the floor and live with the results.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Pro me.
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: I'm excited for the opportunity for sure.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, well you should get into talk radio because every
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: hour is Game seven. At any moment, could say the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: wrong thing, Game over.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: That's it. You just have to live with the results
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: of the of the show.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Every night, Game seven, every minute the VU meter is
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: moving Game seven. That's see, these athletes only get a
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: few Game sevens. Every single segment is a Game seven
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in talk radio, every single segment.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: All right, so let's let's get us the game will
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: be playing.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: As we mentioned, in Oklahoma City, the thunder were the
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: highest seed in the entire NBA the sixty eight win
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: regular season. They were the number on the overall seed.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And are Nicola jokicch and the Nuggets doomed?
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Are they doomed.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Having to play in Oklahoma City for a Game seven?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: And my answer is three words, not at not at all.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: And after asking the counsel of the magic eight ball,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: we went up to the magic eight ball. We said,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: magic eight ball, almighty all powerful magic eight ball. If
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Denver we asked the magic ball, does Denver have a
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: legitimate opportunity to win Game seven in Oklahoma City? The
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: magic eight ball? We shook it, it replied, outlook good.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Let me repeat that, outlook good from the magic eight ball.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: So we will be betting on the Nuggets while the thunder.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: We'll have the.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Crowd on their side, and I'm sure they'll make a
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: big deal. They'll all wear the same colored T shirts
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: and all that.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: My argument is this, it is an antiquated take that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: home court matters in modern basketball. It is an antiquated take.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Let me make my elevator pitch. I'll give you my
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: supporting Gavin is why is an antiquated take at home
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: court matters in these playoffs? NBA teams are thirty one
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: and thirty if my math is correct, in the playoffs
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: at home, they're one game above five hundred at home
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: the home team. If you look at game seven since
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, the home team is only five and
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: ten in game seven since twenty twenty one. There is
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a massive seed change that has taken place since the
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: pandemic in home court advantage.
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: What used to be is no.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Longer like it's an old It's like, say, defense wins
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: championships in football while you're dating yourself. Home court historically
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: the home team had won, but seventy nine, almost eighty
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: percent of the time.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: There's been a dramatic change in recent years. Now, why
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: is that, Well, there's a lot of variables. One of
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: the variables is the teams don't really give a crap
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: about the regular season. That's one of them, right.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: You also have the load management see first point for
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: second point, and the fact that all these arenas are
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: pretty much the same. There's no they're all I've been
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: to NBA games in different cities. They play the same music,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: The cheerleaders come on the court at the same time,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: the mascot comes out at the same time. It's just
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: a different outfit for the cheerleaders or the mascots that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: got a different costume.
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: But it's all cookie cutter.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: It's all essentially the same every city you go through.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: But in terms of the pressure, we know pressure breaks
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: pipes and pipe pipes burst. Because so there's obviously more
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: on the Thunder and we all agree on that there's
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: going into Game seven, there's more pressure on the Thunder.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Dream season number one Seaton sixty eight wins, sixty eight
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: win season. You've got Shade Jogis, Alexander Sga is going
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: to be the MVP phenomenal. He's been good in this series,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: averaging twenty eight points and almost eight rebounds and seven
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: assists and a bunch of steals.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: He has not hurt.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: He's not earned the dependable label. And I look at
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the Nuggets like, well, the Nuggets, Eh Jokich has been
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: the best player in the series, and career wise, he's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: a much better career player than Sga side by side,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: and you figure out he will dominate, he should dominate
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the big guys. In Game seven, they got Chet Holmgren
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and Isaiah Hartenstein.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: For Oklahoma City.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And even though Yokach had a couple of duds in
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: this series, it wasn't because of anything Oklahoma City was doing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He just didn't play well in a couple of games.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: But you just look at the Nuggets. They can still
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: smell they can smell that twenty twenty three title. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: they've got a joker as a coach, not just a
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: joker as a player. The impractical Jokers look alike the
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: James Murray of NBA coaches. David Adaman, the NEPO baby
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: who took over for the coach people thought was good
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Malone right before.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: The playoffs started.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: So when you whack your coach before the playoffs, you're
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: pretty much saying we're not good enough, we don't think
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be good enough, we don't think we're going
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: to win. Otherwise you wouldn't make that particular move right
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: before the playoffs. So that's the setup going into a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Game seven between the Thunder and the Nuggets.
• 17:09

• 18:32
  Speaker 1: So our lead this hour from a nice, juicy story
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: out of the library.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: That's right, when's the last time you went to the library?
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: I bet it's been a minute, although I think Cowboy
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: John Brad and Dick and Dayton go there daily, but
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: for the rest of us, it's likely been a minute.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: So you heard that, right the library. The chatter around
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: the NFL.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: As we sit here in mid May.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: The chat all about excerpts from a fourthcoming book which
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is not going to hit the bookshelves in the library
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: till September.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: If you didn't hear.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: About this, and maybe not, maybe not. This goes back
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: to last NFL season. The can't miss top pick in
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: the draft, Caleb Williams, and he's a Chicago Bear. He
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be a Chicago Bear. How do we
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: know that, Well, we knew it at the time, and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: now we know it again because of a new book
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: which is coming out and they're piping up the book.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: The way the book game works, as it has been
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: explained to me, before the book comes out, about three
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: months before you start leaking stuff. You try to build
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: up to a crescendo. You get a lot of buzz
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: going for the book. So this is why this stuff
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: is leaked a few months before the book comes out.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: So Kayla Williams and his.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Father, the dad Carl, attempted to circum the NFL draft.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They did not want the Chicago Bears to select Caleb
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Williams in the twenty twenty four NFL draft. This guy
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Seth Wickersham, who had a lot of dirt on the
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Patriots a couple of years back. He's a scribe that
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: likes to dig into the weeds, and he's got a
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: new book coming out now. It's not specifically about Caleb Williams.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: It's about quarterbacks and some of the other guys around
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: the NFL, like de Manning family that were able to
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: successfully avoid playing for the old San Diego Chargers and
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: things like that.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: So Chicago.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: According to the book, there's a quote from Carl Williams,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the father of Caleb, who said Chicago is the place
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks go to die. And with Williams being the clear
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: cut number one pick coming out of us, you have
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: father there. Carl was very open. He didn't hide this,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: He didn't keep this on the down low. This was
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: not spoken in hush tones. Multiple agents in twenty twenty
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: four that he did not did not want his kid
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: to play for the Bears, who had the top pick.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: He went as far as to consult Archie Manning, who
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: successfully punked with Eli Manning. The old San Diego Chargers
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: orchestrated behind the scenes of trade to avoid Eli from
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: playing for the San Diego Chargers. So my friends in
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: San Diego upset that the Chargers left to go to LA.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: You can blame Eli Manning. He didn't want to play
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: there and that led to a trickle down. Eventually the
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: team left to go to LA and Eli played for
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: the Giants, and Eli did turn out to be a
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: middling quarterback.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: He really want all that good?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of dumb people, the casuals, think Eli was good.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: He wasn't We all know that, but he did go
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: on and made a lot of money and people like
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: him because of two days or two playoff runs.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Other than that, he was a failure.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Now part of the book, Williams decided Caleb Williams decided
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: he wanted to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings of
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: all teams, because he had a bromance with Kevin O'Connell.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: At the NFL scouting combine, they were sitting around roasting
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: marshmallows and singing Kumbaya unless they weren't. But the Chicago
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Bears GM Ryan Pole stepped in and said, no matter what,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: we're drafting you. We're drafting you, and so.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Now. One of the other interesting quotes that has been
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: tossed out to try to promote this book by Seth
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Wickersham is the quote from Carl Williams who said the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: rookie cap is unconstitutional. He said, the collective bargaining and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: agreement is the worst piece of s word I've ever read.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: It's the worst in sports history. The father of the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Bears quarterback said, so let us discuss there's a lot
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to pick apart on this. So the question will be
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: like the high picking the meat off the rotting carcass.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: So the question give me your reaction reacts on to
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: this book that paints the picture the way I read
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: these excerpts that Caleb Williams and his dad they went
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: scorched earth to avoid the Bears and it didn't work,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: much like Caleb Williams trying to avoid a sack.
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: That doesn't work either. Right, So my observations, I've.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Got the pop swap sewing machine and voting numbers and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: voting numbers, and we will combine all of these things together,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and we are gonna make the chicken schwarma.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Is what We're gonna make the chicken shwarma. So number
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: I said, number.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Let me preface this by saying that doing a daily
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: talk show, none of this was new in terms of
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Kleb Williams not wanting to play for the in terms
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: of Caleb Williams attempting to get out of playing for
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: the Bears, like that, stuff's not new information if you
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: pay attention to the Daily Grind. The part that is
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: new is Kevin O'Connell. All right, now, Kevin O'Connell, his
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: connection is his.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: Bond with these quarterbacks.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Next level, the rest of it's just kind of confirmation
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and all that that, the rumors which so many people
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: like to sweep aside.
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: Why do you talk about rumors? Why do you? I
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: don't understand. Why do you talk about rumor?
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Is?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: None of it's real, It's just meaningless drivel. That's why
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: people don't like talk radio because okay, well all of
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: it was right, It's all documented right there. The father,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Carl Williams, was not bashful, right, he was not bashful.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: And in this case, you look at the Bears right
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: now where they find themselves a year in to the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams experience. And so the Bears franchise has done
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the old.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: Pop swap back of the old days.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: The Bears love to romanticize Papa Bear Hallis Hall Is
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: where they practice at. Papa Bear, the legendary John, the
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: figure that's bigger than life in Bears history, Papa Papa
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Bear George Hallis.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: So that was back in the day.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Now they have pageant Papa is what they They went
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: from Papa Bear to pageant Papa the enthusiastic, supportive, overly
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: involved dad, right, But Dad a Carl the father here
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: was deep inside the Duffel bag of tricks, the deep
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: dive into the Duffel bag of tricks now everything from
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: trying to get an ownership stake in the Bears to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: as far as we know, he probably deputized Sweet James
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: and called Jacob type lawyers.
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: To escape the Bears.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: And they read over all the legal ease and tried
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: to find some kind of loophole.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: None of it were all right now, pitchd So what
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: is the message?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: What is the message that Carl Williams was sending by
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: trying like the Dickens to avoid the Chicago Bears.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: So this is a terrible look. I have an unpopular
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: opinion on this. I realized that many people are like,
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: oh yeah, I'd avoid the Bears too. The Bears blow, man.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: And the Bears do blow, and the Bears do suck
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: my entire life other than like one or two years,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: you know, as a little kid. The Bears have been pathetic,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: all right, they've been pathetic despite that. This is a
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: bad look. It is a bad look because.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: What you're telling me by it didn't work.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: But you tried to do it. You couldn't do it,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: which also looks bad. You're not powerful enough to do it.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: Other people have been able to do it. You couldn't
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: do it. But the pageant Papa spelled out that he
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and his kid, No, the kid's not that good. He
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: is not the that powers the show Caleb Williams.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: That Caleb and.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: The and the father, these guys, they doubted his ability
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: to be a franchise game changer.
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: That is a loser's attitude. Oh the coachization.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you're that good, if your God's gift of football,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: none of that other stuff matters.
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: None of it matters. You are so good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: You go out there and you rise all the other
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: boats the rising tide, right, everyone else rises around you.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: You don't run from the grind. And it sounded like
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: he couldn't pull it off. He tried to do it.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams tried to run from the grid and he
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: was handed some scraps. And instead of trying to go
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: out and get that sewing machine and sew together a masterpiece,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: he's like, noa, no, I want to go somewhere where
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: I get the good silk and I can I can
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: have better material. And instead of your own reality turning,
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: you're turning to run. He could even pull that off.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to turn the stumbling block into the stepping stone,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: and his father loser's attitude and Caleb Williams losing attitude.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Listen the Bear's history with quarterbacks. That tells you what
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: has happened, not what's going to happen now. At the time,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: they had Matt Eberflu's and Shane Waldron as the two
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: brains on offense. But if you're the spark that lights
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: the fire, you change the history of those guys. And
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: it turns out that he wasn't that. Caleb Williams is not.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You're not that guy, Pal, You're not that guy, all
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: right because Eberflus lost his job. Shane Waldron lost his
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: job before Eberflus did with the Chicago Bears. Right now,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: final point, So, how will Caleb Williams widely report it
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: now it's in a book uneasiness with the Chicago football team?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: How is this going to impact his long term relationship
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: with the Bears and their fan base in Chicago. So
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: since he got drafted by the Bears, Caleb Williams has
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: publicly said all the right things. For the most part,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: He's done everything you're supposed to do publicly. But you know, privately,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: there's a different position on this, and so where I
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: sit from thirty thousand feet looking down, this is gonna
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: burd Dog Williams. It's on the public record. We are
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: at a fork in the road situation. Right, You're gonna
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: go this way, you can go that way. We're at
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: a fork in the road situation. You have multiple outcomes
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: in the multiverse. Ultimately, much like we talk about the
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: home court advantage and championship pedigree and all these bull
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: crap things momentum after the fact, this is also one
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: of those things where if you can have some success,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the outcome will determine how this goes. Get get out
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: the cologne. You have some success. We know that winning
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: cures everything. Should Caleb Williams turn the Bears into a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: legit contender, this will all be part of a nice
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: cute story. The guy that did and want to go
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to Chicago and he turns out to be the savior
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: of the Bears franchise.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: The Messiah and all that.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: Now, if he continues to play the way he's playing
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: is the Duke of Puke, then this will be used
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: as an example as to why Chicago should have never
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: gotten into business with Carl Williams or Caleb Williams. And
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: this just continues the incompetence of the Bears and the
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: early voting numbers. If you look at the early voting
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: numbers and the exit polling are in, and the Bears
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: fans should not be happy. They should panic because Caleb
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Williams has been two things, a stat bandito, a stat bandito,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: and a broken clock, his internal clock. If you've been
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: sacked sixty eight times in your rookie season, right, you got.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: It's not coaching, it's not the offensive line.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: That's on you.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: You suck, you blow, that's on you, right, sixty eight
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: sacks third most in NFL history.
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: Only David Carr.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: With an expansion team in O two and Randall Cunningham
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: in the mid eighties with the Eagles have been sacked
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: more in the season. And he lost Cables lost four
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty six yards four hundred and sixty yards
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: on sacks, four six six on sacks, which was the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: fourth most lost on sacks in the history of pro football.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: And remember the sack is a quarterback stack. The low
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: information fan, the uneducated fan, will say, oh, it's on
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: the office, low and blame the fat guy. No, most
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: of the time, not always, but most of the time
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: the sack is on the quarterback, and it should also
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: be mentioned here. The experts say in the game the
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: sack is half a turnal because you when you're sacked,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: you're you're pretty much torpedoed that drive. So a sack
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: is worth half a turnover, which means do the Malard
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: math on this. So sixty eight sacks as a rookie,
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: and if each sack is worth for turnover, that's an
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: extra thirty four turnovers. Thirty four turnovers. On the resume
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: of Caleb Williams, the Dancing Bear who didn't want to
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: be a bear and is a bear, and good luck,
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: good luck to the Chicago Bears. He just doesn't seem
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: like he's it. Doesn't seem like he's it. We'll see
