  Let's go. Let's go for the rest of our
• 0:47
  life. Just get you fired up in the
• 1:03
  morning. Welcome back, ladies and
• 1:05
  gentlemen, to the FINAL TIME OUT.
• 1:08
  I am your host, HG. We are here in NPR friends for
• 1:15
  another week talking some sports.
• 1:18
  It's exciting times, man. We've got the, we got the MLB
• 1:23
  and WNBA. They're starting their their
• 1:25
  late season playoff pushes there training camp just around the
• 1:29
  corner. We have NFL football.
• 1:32
  I'll be a preseason, but NFL football will be on tomorrow
• 1:35
  night. Ladies and gentlemen, I I can't
• 1:39
  wait. I mean, we're going to have
• 1:40
  Super Bowl champion Kenny Pickett facing off against
• 1:43
  national champion Carson back. It's going to truly be a duel
• 1:47
  for the ages. Panthers, Cardinals, Hall of
• 1:51
  Fame game tomorrow night. But yeah, we're going to just
• 1:58
  jump into it because we had a a pretty busy MLB trade deadline.
• 2:04
  A lot of people getting dealt around, a lot of teams selling.
• 2:10
  We're just going to go over lot the top 25 trades of this past
• 2:16
  trade deadline. There were a lot and to no one's
• 2:19
  surprise, we're going to have the the number one trade really
• 2:23
  be the Dodgers acquiring Tariq Skubal, the back-to-back Cy
• 2:28
  Young winner. I mean, they really didn't have
• 2:32
  to give up a whole lot for him. Couple of prospects really that
• 2:40
  was about it. You know, couple of pitching
• 2:45
  prospects. So just three guys to get a back
• 2:50
  to backside young winner. Yeah.
• 2:53
  I mean, any team would really take that deal.
• 2:56
  So I mean, now you're going to have like that bullpen with
• 2:59
  Yamamoto Scubal now Blake Snell Glasnails through the come off
• 3:08
  IL, Shohei Otani obviously in there.
• 3:14
  It was already a really great bullpen and now they've just got
• 3:17
  another elite pitching prospect into it.
• 3:22
  Excuse me, sorry. It's going to be very difficult
• 3:25
  for the Dodgers for a lot of teams to take down the Dodgers.
• 3:29
  Rather they are definitely a juggernaut now.
• 3:34
  However, I'll say they have lost five straight and Scuba made his
• 3:41
  debut last night. Didn't exactly go the way you
• 3:47
  would you would want it. He didn't have a a terrible
• 3:52
  game. He pitched 6 innings, did only
• 3:56
  give up two runs, walked two, two batters, only four hits in
• 4:03
  total ERA of two. Did have 6 KS.
• 4:07
  One of those hits did turn into a home run.
• 4:09
  So, you know, a little bit of a lackluster debut for him, but
• 4:18
  guy did just get to LA, give him some time to get his get his
• 4:22
  feet under him. But five in the row for the
• 4:25
  Dodgers. So a lot of the people
• 4:28
  definitely not happy about this trade and how LA keeps ending up
• 4:34
  with all these elite players on their team past three seasons.
• 4:40
  And look right now the odds on favorite to be the the World
• 4:45
  Series champions for the third year in the row.
• 4:49
  But they do. They're looking a little human.
• 4:52
  You know, it is still just the beginning of August.
• 4:55
  We'll give it some time. We'll talk.
• 4:56
  We're going to talk some other trades though as well here.
• 5:01
  Number one, we got at #2 Adli Ruchman, the former number one
• 5:09
  overall pick from the 2019 draft catcher is going to the Red Sox.
• 5:14
  Orioles are, yeah, really in the trenches and the American League
• 5:20
  East struggling to even stay at 500.
• 5:26
  It's really turned into an interesting three team race
• 5:28
  there. And the Red Sox, the hottest
• 5:30
  team in baseball since the calendar turned July, get even
• 5:34
  better at the catcher position. Given up a couple of
• 5:39
  right-handed pitching prospects and outfielder.
• 5:41
  And they sent a catcher back in return, as well as there's some
• 5:46
  cash considerations and other things between both teams there.
• 5:50
  But yeah, a really and still young, really talented catcher
• 6:01
  that you can add to a team that's already got some.
• 6:05
  The pitching just looked elite since the this like winning
• 6:10
  streak and this hot streak that they've been on, the bats are
• 6:13
  really flying. So I mean, just maybe 1 area
• 6:16
  where they could have used a little improvement is the
• 6:19
  catching. And so now a team that's only
• 6:21
  lost four games since the beginning of July, adding a
• 6:26
  really talented player that's just, I think could really help
• 6:32
  them make a push. They're only six games back
• 6:39
  behind the Rays. And right now, Boston does not
• 6:43
  do a lot of losing. So call me crazy, but I I
• 6:49
  wouldn't be shocked at all if the Red Sox come back and end up
• 6:52
  winning the American League East.
• 6:54
  It's going to be a fascinating race between them, the Yankees
• 6:58
  and the Rays. Yankees still a bit banged up.
• 7:02
  We'll see what happens when they start to get healthy, but
• 7:06
  fascinating race there. Number third or #3 trade here.
• 7:12
  Second baseman Luis Alvarez is heading to the Phillies along
• 7:17
  with right-handed pitcher Caleb Killian.
• 7:19
  Giants making that trade. This a big one for the Phillies.
• 7:26
  Trying to keep pace with the Braves and the nationally E.
• 7:32
  None of them necessarily can't catch Atlanta, but they're in a
• 7:36
  pretty intense wild card race as well with teams like the Chicago
• 7:40
  Cubs. The Diamondbacks aren't too far
• 7:42
  behind them, so this could really be the move that helps
• 7:47
  them get that top wild card spot, be a little bit more
• 7:54
  advantageous for them. But this is really an aspect to
• 8:00
  the offense that Philly's been missing.
• 8:03
  Erez is batting 324 and has only struck out and MLB load 21 times
• 8:12
  this season. Philly's a team that is the 7th
• 8:17
  most struck out team in all of baseball.
• 8:21
  So definitely somebody you could really use that help you stay
• 8:28
  get on base more and just keep, you know, keep your your bats
• 8:35
  moving and keep you alive longer in an inning.
• 8:39
  So big trade there. Really love this one for the
• 8:44
  Phillies. Next one we got KC Mees to the
• 8:49
  Padres. So right hand the pitcher, KC
• 8:53
  Mees and an Enfield man engaged Workman.
• 8:56
  They're going to San Diego Padres get cash Mayfield and
• 9:02
  Jackson Wolf couple of left-handed prospects.
• 9:05
  Padres is a team that have one that 1/8 of their last night
• 9:09
  heading into the deadline day one game off of a playoff spot
• 9:15
  in the National League and they've had a pretty injury
• 9:20
  ravaged rotation. That's so This is why I really
• 9:22
  like this move for them. I mean, you just need some more
• 9:25
  bodies in there, a team that is sort of underperforming for what
• 9:30
  they could be. The injury bugs got them.
• 9:33
  It's just been hard for them to really put it all together this
• 9:36
  season. So you get some reinforcements
• 9:38
  in there and you hope that that will be enough to help keep you
• 9:44
  full out and push you through to the playoffs.
• 9:51
  Coming up to the next trade, the Padres also going and getting
• 9:55
  Robbie Ray from the Giants, Giants surprisingly some big
• 9:59
  sellers at this one. So they send back a Miguel
• 10:05
  Mendez and shortstop Julio Hernandez.
• 10:10
  So another just another guy that really adds to the rotation
• 10:13
  there. Again, very banged up.
• 10:15
  Get a left-hander in there for a little bit of variety.
• 10:22
  Nothing good trade there by the Padres.
• 10:24
  They definitely, I think that's just the big thing they need is
• 10:26
  to try to try to get some reinforcements in their bullpen
• 10:32
  and just not be so injury riddled there and that'll give
• 10:38
  them a really good shot to make some noise in this playoff and
• 10:42
  wild card race. Another team that's from red hot
• 10:46
  making some buy in at the deadline.
• 10:50
  The Chicago Cubs acquire right-handed pitcher Kevin
• 10:53
  Golsman from the Blue Jays, send back an outfielder and an
• 10:57
  infielder. Yeah, the the Cubs, another team
• 11:02
  with some guys that have been sidelined, some of their usual
• 11:09
  star there's and then James Italian hasn't really been
• 11:14
  pitching all too well. Cubs definitely needed another
• 11:20
  guy to add to the rotation here. They have their their bats are
• 11:25
  fantastic. They're hitting really well.
• 11:28
  The one thing that's been a bit of a a negative for them this
• 11:31
  year is the pitching. But all of a sudden they become
• 11:36
  a real problem for the Brewers. I mean, they're Milwaukee, the
• 11:40
  first team in the league to reach 70 wins and crazy enough,
• 11:44
  they really don't have too too safe of a lead.
• 11:47
  Chicago is catching some steam. They're right on their tail at
• 11:51
  65 wins there. So this is a a good move for
• 11:57
  them could make them a very dangerous team.
• 12:02
  Next trade here. The Yankees get some help on
• 12:04
  first base with Luis Garcia junior traded from the
• 12:09
  Nationals. They're sending back a couple of
• 12:14
  a good haul of pitching prospects for the Nationals.
• 12:17
  But yeah, that's just a good move to potentially help the
• 12:22
  Yankees out with some infield defense as well.
• 12:26
  Guy who has 23 homers this season, really good slugging
• 12:31
  percentage. He's 5th in the MLB and RB is so
• 12:38
  especially now that you know some of the big hitters dealing
• 12:41
  with some injuries Judge obviously been hurt, Juan Carlo
• 12:48
  dealing with some injuries. Rice been banged up as well.
• 12:51
  So Cody Bellinger as well actually.
• 12:56
  So, yeah, they just need another.
• 13:00
  They just need to get some more some more sluggers that are
• 13:04
  really back into that their bat rotation there a tough race that
• 13:09
  they've got. I mean, they're currently second
• 13:13
  in the AL East, but you could really make the argument that
• 13:16
  they are the only the the third best team in that that league
• 13:21
  with how hot the Red Sox has been.
• 13:23
  So good move for them there going through some more of
• 13:28
  these. Cubs also acquire another
• 13:30
  right-handed pitcher and Clay Holmes outfielder Tyrone Taylor.
• 13:35
  The Rays get a kind of catcher slash first baseman and Liam
• 13:40
  Hicks from the Marlins. They needed at least one bat to
• 13:47
  really length on the top heavy lineup of the big three with
• 13:51
  that Diaz, Aronada and Camareo. So yeah, guys, he's got fourteen
• 14:00
  home runs, but he's hitting pretty well.
• 14:02
  He's getting on base 54 RB is he'll be.
• 14:07
  He'll just really give you some some power and some consistency
• 14:11
  in the back end of that rotation there Blue Jays team that had
• 14:16
  been mostly selling does go and trade for a right-handed pitcher
• 14:20
  and Jose Serino. That's more of a future building
• 14:24
  move. I don't know if that's going to
• 14:25
  do a whole lot to help Toronto this year.
• 14:27
  I think they're it's pretty unlikely that they make the
• 14:31
  playoffs here. They're at the very bottom of
• 14:33
  the American League. They would really need to lock
• 14:36
  in and get hot at the right time.
• 14:40
  Kind of I feel like an underrated trade here.
• 14:43
  But Freddy Peralta to the Rays, just we're kind of losers on the
• 14:53
  Tyree Scubal sweepstakes. But a quick pivot to get Freddy
• 14:58
  Peralta, you know, good, good prospect out of the Mets there.
• 15:05
  He's, you know, finished top five in voting for the the Cy
• 15:11
  Young couple of times. So, I mean, not you really want
• 15:17
  Scubal, but I think this is a a fair follow up to bolster your
• 15:24
  rotation there for Tampa Bay. We're going to the Guardians now
• 15:30
  who are trying desperately to keep pace with the White Sox,
• 15:35
  who have jumped in the first into the American League
• 15:37
  Central. Lots of that's pretty tight race
• 15:39
  there. And they got Detroit, who's kind
• 15:42
  of they turned into big sellers. But the Twins made some moves so
• 15:45
  they they could be looking to make a playoff push as well, get
• 15:49
  the left-hander Foster Griffin. And to their rotation, another
• 15:55
  move by the Yankees, getting an outfielder there again.
• 15:59
  I mean, they're just missing three of their big, their main
• 16:02
  outfielder guys and three of their big bats in their rotation
• 16:09
  all sidelined. So another guy that could really
• 16:13
  help them keep afloat until they can get healthy.
• 16:17
  The Diamondbacks also acquire an outfielder and Lars no bat from
• 16:21
  the Cardinals entered they the D backs had a bottom 10 OPS
• 16:30
  percentage in entering the trade deadline on Monday.
• 16:36
  So and I was with Corbin Carroll being an 822 mark.
• 16:39
  So wars Novak pretty good OPS out there for him this year, 742
• 16:46
  over his career. Guy has struggled a little bit
• 16:51
  with injury, but they needed to try to make somewhat of a move
• 16:55
  to keep them in a well. There's just going to be an
• 16:59
  absolutely wild, wild card race for the NL East moving along the
• 17:04
  Marlins or Mariners rather acquire Taylor Ward from the
• 17:09
  Orioles. The Astros are getting Dalton
• 17:13
  Vera Shall from the Blue Jays, so a lefty outfielder hit her
• 17:21
  one of Houston's greatest needs, and I think they have addressed
• 17:23
  that. Amazingly.
• 17:25
  Former Golden Glove winner Vera Shall is going to be a free
• 17:28
  agent after this season. But they could, this could be a
• 17:32
  move to, you know, get him there in the building and then work on
• 17:37
  giving him a contract while he's there.
• 17:39
  So big move for the Astros there.
• 17:44
  Outfielder Joe Addles head to the Guardians Exchange for Jacob
• 17:49
  Corzat, Who's going to the Angels?
• 17:53
  Luis Castillo. Castillo is traded from the
• 17:57
  Mariners to the White Sox. So Seattle, just the team that
• 18:03
  had a kind of a heavy starting pitching surplus and that needed
• 18:07
  to, you know, make some trades for some outfielders as well,
• 18:12
  really able to take that. So I think that's going to do a
• 18:15
  good job. Just bolster the White Sox
• 18:18
  rotation as well. Castillos is just a really good
• 18:22
  star there in this league as well.
• 18:27
  Luke Weaver going to the Pirates, Pittsburgh team that
• 18:31
  was a sort of quiet, but they did make a a good move here to
• 18:35
  get a right-handed pitcher here team that, you know, one of the
• 18:39
  top arms that was available at the deadline.
• 18:44
  He's on the contract through 2027, a really good 1.84 ERA.
• 18:52
  He's been one of the long bright spots for the Mets this year.
• 18:55
  Now he's on Pittsburgh team that we're going to make a push to
• 18:59
  the playoffs as well. It's really close, a lot of
• 19:03
  these races. And then just to round out our
• 19:07
  top 20, Dustin May, JoJo Romero to the Brewers.
• 19:11
  Yeah. I mean, the Brewers, again, just
• 19:15
  not being aggressive, not pushing all the chips in to go
• 19:19
  get Scubal. This is a solid, I guess, solid
• 19:25
  consolation prize. But again, they're just too
• 19:27
  scared to try to win it all. Cubs out of the right-handed
• 19:31
  pitcher and Ray and Ryan Zefferon.
• 19:36
  The Blue Jays sent Jeff Holman to the Twins.
• 19:40
  Marcelo Mayer is headed to the Giants from the Red Sox in
• 19:47
  exchange for a left-handed pitcher and Eric Miller and
• 19:51
  Carlos Gutierrez. Chris Bubic to the Dodgers, so
• 19:56
  just some more pitching depth for LA Guardians are getting
• 20:02
  designated hit. Hit her in first baseman
• 20:05
  Nathaniel Lowe from the Reds. That runs out of the kind of our
• 20:09
  top 25. Some other teams have sold a
• 20:13
  lot. You know, the Rockies definitely
• 20:16
  were made some trades sent to like Brenton Doyle, Victor Von
• 20:21
  Dick and Antonio. Sent Zala out.
• 20:27
  Angels were big sellers. The Braves made a couple of
• 20:34
  trades. Just add some depth to a team
• 20:38
  that's really strong. It was really good, top heavy,
• 20:41
  but they just lacked some depth there.
• 20:43
  So injuries were kind of becoming the problem for them,
• 20:47
  but now they've got so much needed depth to help them out
• 20:51
  there. But looking at the the playoff
• 20:55
  push, I mean, obviously Dodgers were huge winners here, but we
• 20:59
  haven't really seen that materializing anything.
• 21:02
  I think the Red Sox also massive winners as well.
• 21:07
  Red and White Sox, both of the sock teams were big winners as
• 21:11
  well. The Cubs, I think we're huge
• 21:14
  winners. They got some really good
• 21:15
  players there. The Brewers, disappointing.
• 21:20
  One of my teams are very disappointing for me.
• 21:24
  I want, I was sort of expecting to see the Braves make a a
• 21:28
  bigger swing. I don't hate their moves, but
• 21:33
  you know, trying to keep pace with LA and Milwaukee is going
• 21:40
  to be tough. And Philly definitely got better
• 21:44
  at the trade deadline here. So that could be could be an
• 21:49
  area of concern for them. Maybe you still host A6 game
• 21:53
  lead. All right, we've been going for
• 21:55
  a little while now. We're going to go ahead and jump
• 21:57
  into our first music break. When we come back, we'll take a
• 22:01
  look at the couple trades that happened in WNBA and look at
• 22:05
  some award odds there as well. So stay with us.
• 22:08
  You're watching The Final Time out here on military broadcast
• 22:12
  radio. The station where our veterans
• 26:36
  voices are heard. MBR talk.
• 26:39
  Hey, thanks for supporting our channel by watching and
• 26:41
  listening. Time out here on the military
• 26:57
  broadcast radio. And when we left off, we were
• 27:01
  going over all the trades that happened at the MLB deadline.
• 27:05
  But I didn't realize, I didn't even address the elephant in the
• 27:09
  room, which is, does this move to get Scubal to the Dodgers?
• 27:16
  Is this going to force a lockout?
• 27:18
  Are we going to see a salary cap?
• 27:20
  Does the MLB need the salary cap and is there going to be an MLB
• 27:27
  season next year? That all questions.
• 27:31
  I want to hear what you do viewers think.
• 27:35
  Personally, I don't think there will.
• 27:38
  We'll get to the point where there isn't a season, but
• 27:42
  there's certainly going to be a lot of problems.
• 27:49
  My my thoughts on it are, I don't necessarily think a salary
• 27:54
  cap is the answer. I mean, it doesn't really do
• 27:57
  anything except punish the players.
• 27:59
  I think good area to start is maybe with the Dodgers
• 28:04
  sweetheart TV deal that helps them be really insanely
• 28:08
  profitable and things like that. If there could be an incentive,
• 28:15
  some financial incentive for teams to be competitive, you
• 28:18
  know, we will see the we will see shifting gears a little bit
• 28:27
  going over a couple of trades that were made in the WNBA.
• 28:33
  So back on July 31st, the Connecticut Sun, who were we're
• 28:42
  just having a really tough season, traded Anissa Moro to
• 28:45
  the Toronto tempo. I don't know if this will be
• 28:48
  enough to save the tempo season. They're currently sitting at 10
• 28:54
  and 20. But this is a future building
• 28:57
  move, which is I think this was here, you know, a team that is
• 29:00
  selling. I don't think the tempo have
• 29:03
  aspirations of necessarily making it to the playoffs, but
• 29:08
  you have a pretty dynamic forward who's, you know, capable
• 29:13
  of going out there and giving you like 1213 a night.
• 29:17
  And she can also pull in, you know, 89 boards and dish out a
• 29:21
  couple of assists who's also a solid defender.
• 29:25
  So just adding a piece piece of depth.
• 29:29
  This is the one of the newest expansion teams here, so I don't
• 29:34
  think they're trying to make some moves and build up their
• 29:39
  their line up a little bit. But the big move here I really
• 29:43
  the only other big trade that's that's gone down recently is
• 29:47
  Kelsey Plum short lived returned to Los Angeles.
• 29:53
  She's been traded to the Phoenix Mercury, which is giant move for
• 30:01
  them. Phoenix is a team on the outside
• 30:05
  looking in. They're actually right now
• 30:09
  behind the the sparks in the standings, but they definitely
• 30:18
  could use use the help they aside from a Kalia copper, they
• 30:26
  haven't had the best production from guards and she's really had
• 30:31
  to. She's definitely more of a a
• 30:35
  scorer. Alyssa Thomas has taken on a lot
• 30:41
  of the play making duties. She currently leads the team in
• 30:45
  rebounds per game, assists per game, steals per game and blocks
• 30:51
  per game. So it's they just really needed
• 30:57
  another guard in there to kind of run the offense through.
• 30:59
  I think this is this really helped them out.
• 31:02
  They're going to look a lot better in the half court.
• 31:08
  Hopefully this will help get their their turnovers down a
• 31:11
  little bit of team that's averaging, you know, 13 a game
• 31:17
  Now. Plum's just a really dynamic
• 31:19
  shooter as well. She can and let's see, she's
• 31:26
  shooting this season, you know, 39 percent, 39 1/2% from the
• 31:31
  field shooting, 53% from the field, averaging 23, two and
• 31:39
  six. We know she's a good defender.
• 31:42
  She's got very active hands, can add some perimeter defense for
• 31:49
  them as well. I like this move for the
• 31:53
  Mercury. I think this addressed a pretty
• 31:56
  big need for them and with her finally being there, they could.
• 32:07
  I mean, they're going to really have to lock it in here at the
• 32:10
  end of the season. Go see how many weeks we got
• 32:15
  left. I believe we are going till the
• 32:28
  20 now. Till 29th is the final week of
• 32:38
  the regular season. So there aren't too many games
• 32:40
  left for these teams. So you're think each team's
• 32:45
  looking at anywhere from like 7 to 8 more games this month or
• 32:53
  this year. So it's coming down to the nitty
• 32:56
  gritty. They really need to stack up
• 32:58
  some wins looking at the standings.
• 33:01
  I mean, it'll be tough. They're currently 12 and 19 and
• 33:12
  10th place in the league. They'll definitely need some
• 33:15
  teams to start losing. The Washington Mystic or the New
• 33:21
  York Liberty would be their best bets here.
• 33:26
  If they can keep Plum long term, I think they'll definitely be a
• 33:28
  better team next year. This move might have been a
• 33:31
  little too late for them. It's going to be really tough
• 33:38
  for them to to make it. We're going to take a look at
• 33:43
  how many games they have left here.
• 33:51
  Yeah, we'll see. That'll be the that's that's
• 33:56
  what we always have to do do with these trades.
• 33:58
  You kind of have to wait and see.
• 34:01
  I'm just not super confident that it's going to make too much
• 34:04
  of a difference for them this year, but next year they'll
• 34:06
  certainly be a force to be reckoned with.
• 34:09
  We're going to take a look at some of these award-winning odds
• 34:14
  to see who's leading the race in some of the big awards.
• 34:18
  MVPI mean Asia Wilson's just running away with it.
• 34:23
  Your next closest as of an hour ago on the updated odds through
• 34:30
  Caesar Sports Book is you've got Caitlin Clark, Olivia Miles,
• 34:36
  both plus 1400. You got pagebackers at +2000
• 34:43
  Asia -290. I mean, it's just it looks like
• 34:48
  she is well on her way to winning her fifth MVP.
• 34:56
  Just one conference player of the week.
• 34:58
  She was averaging 32, 10 and 3212 and 5.
• 35:08
  She's averaging almost 27 points per game, averaging 2 blocks a
• 35:13
  game, call it 10 rebounds a game, basically 9.6.
• 35:18
  She shoots 5354% from the field and she's all shooting almost
• 35:23
  45% from 3. Just she's just unstoppable
• 35:30
  right now. You gotta give a shout out to
• 35:32
  Olivia the rookie to be even, you know, and considered the MVP
• 35:38
  race. But to be top 3 is really
• 35:43
  impressive, averaging 22 points a game and six assists and
• 35:50
  shooting 50% from three over this little winning streak that
• 35:56
  the the links have been on. And hey, her credit to her team.
• 35:58
  They they are first in the league looking at some of the
• 36:02
  Depoy odds, not as much of AA runaway, but Asia's still with a
• 36:09
  pretty big lead over everybody at plus 320.
• 36:13
  Your ex closest is Gabby Williams at plus 1000 yeah,
• 36:19
  Natasha Howard at plus 25 hundreds.
• 36:28
  So I think Asia, we could be looking on her fifth MVP and her
• 36:33
  4th deploy just yeah, absolutely unreal.
• 36:38
  I think it she might, I mean, in my opinion, she was already to
• 36:43
  go to the West, but I think she's proud.
• 36:45
  I think this will this will solidify it with all these.
• 36:48
  I mean she's won 3 championships as well, could potentially win
• 36:55
  the 4th as well. Yeah.
• 36:58
  I mean she's just her ability to protect the rim rebound is
• 37:02
  unnatched and I mean she's a good defender away from the
• 37:06
  basket, anchoring the the 6th ranked scoring defense in the
• 37:12
  league. Give that Gabby Williams some
• 37:15
  credit. She is the the best defender on
• 37:21
  the top scoring defense in the league.
• 37:23
  Golden State only allows 77 points per game.
• 37:29
  That's like nearly six points fewer than the next closest
• 37:32
  team, which is Washington getting, you know, nearly two
• 37:39
  steals a game. For Williams, she takes on a lot
• 37:43
  of the difficult perimeter assignments.
• 37:47
  It's really tough defending on the perimeter night after night.
• 37:50
  And to do it at a high level, she's a big reason on why this
• 37:55
  team is 20 and 9 and why they rank 5th with eight steals a
• 38:02
  game. And they have one of the best
• 38:04
  scoring differentials in the league.
• 38:08
  So I wouldn't be. I think Gabby, we could see here
• 38:11
  creep up on the odds. This one's not as much of A
• 38:13
  runaway. I don't know if Natasha Howard
• 38:16
  there, then Brian Howard's the next closest could catch up.
• 38:19
  But I wouldn't be surprised if Gabby can't get that.
• 38:23
  Get them there. Yeah, let me know is Asia going
• 38:29
  to secure her 5th and MVP and 4th DPOI or the somebody else
• 38:34
  catcher? Let me know what you think
• 38:36
  taking a look at some of our next awards.
• 38:39
  The most improved Jessica Shepherd currently leading that
• 38:44
  plus 1/15. She's just really turned into a
• 38:51
  great all around front court player.
• 38:55
  Tied for first with in terms of rebounds per game 11.8.
• 38:59
  So you know, almost 12 points, 12 rebounds a game, 14 points
• 39:06
  and five assists. Shooting 58% from the field.
• 39:11
  Super well-rounded. Recorded 19 double double s this
• 39:18
  season and a league high for triple double s.
• 39:24
  Just a really crucial piece or a very improved Dallas Wings team
• 39:32
  overall. You've got Carla Levy from the
• 39:40
  Portland Fire also looking. She's at +800.
• 39:47
  I think we could see her jump up as well though.
• 39:54
  She actually became the youngest player in WNBA history to record
• 39:57
  multiple games with at least 20 points and 10 assists.
• 40:03
  So I mean she is just a scoring engine, whether that be
• 40:08
  generating points through assist or just getting the the ball in
• 40:14
  the hoop herself. But yeah, averaging 15 1/2
• 40:22
  points per game and 6.2 assists. She shoots 44% from the from the
• 40:30
  field and 36 point or almost 37% from 3.
• 40:36
  So wouldn't be surprised to see her jump up Shepherd's.
• 40:42
  I still think Shepherd's probably got this locked.
• 40:44
  I mean, her overall impact across the board, I think it's
• 40:51
  just heavier, especially like she's just such a demon on the
• 40:57
  the boards and the fact that she's still able to like average
• 41:02
  around 5 assists a game. I think she's just overall the
• 41:08
  more impactful player for her team and in general.
• 41:11
  But yeah, Carla is real a really special playmaker, 6th woman of
• 41:19
  the year. You've got Janelle Sala for the
• 41:23
  the Valkyries kind of running away with it, man.
• 41:26
  She's played, I mean, the big thing, availability.
• 41:29
  She's played in all 29 of their games, coming off the bench and
• 41:37
  shooting 40% from 3 and averaging, you know, only
• 41:42
  playing around 22.22 minutes a game, averaging 13 points and
• 41:46
  four rebounds. Very efficient.
• 41:50
  Again, a really great defender as well for her team off the
• 41:54
  bench. I think it's really hers to
• 41:56
  lose. The next closest you got Sophie
• 41:59
  Cunningham at +700. Some of the other ladies were
• 42:03
  just way behind like Cameron brings that plus 3000 jewel
• 42:06
  Lloyd that +5000. Now Cunningham has only missed
• 42:13
  three games this year. She's averaging 92 and, and one,
• 42:19
  her big thing is she's just a really great 3 point shooter
• 42:25
  averaging 45% from 3. So just a really efficient
• 42:30
  perimeter score, which is great. That's something you really want
• 42:34
  for a bench player, but Solana is just way more impactful and
• 42:43
  and every other aspect and she isn't even that much worse at
• 42:48
  shooting the three. So I think it's her hers to
• 42:51
  lose. That's that's a look at those
• 42:56
  WNBA awards player. The players that I didn't know
• 43:01
  they're missing that you think the odds makers got wrong, like
• 43:04
  who's who else is got the potential to to win some of
• 43:09
  those awards? Let me know what your thoughts
• 43:11
  are in the comments. We're going to go ahead and hit
• 43:16
  another music break. When we come back, we'll we'll
• 43:23
  talk about some stuff going around, going around NFL
• 43:27
  training camp and maybe take a look at some of the preseason
• 43:32
  games that we got coming up this weekend.
• 43:34
  So stay with us. Don't go anywhere.

  Keep in mind the phone lines are open.

  The text lines are open. Leave a comment, ask me
• 47:20
  questions. I'm here to answer them.
• 47:23
  I'm just here for y'all. All right, anything, anything
• 47:25
  you got. If you just want to vent about
• 47:28
  your team, how crappy they are too One of the stuff man, we I,
• 47:31
  I'm I'm all for it beauty talking sports.
• 47:36
  Well, waiting on waiting on people to call in and things
• 47:41
  like that. Going to go ahead and jump over
• 47:43
  to some NFL training camp and pre season news.
• 47:48
  I'm actually going to start by putting the San Francisco 49ers
• 47:54
  on blast and just the media in general.
• 47:59
  But we all heard the seen the memes and the jokes about the
• 48:06
  electrical substation that is apparently causing all these
• 48:11
  injuries for the San Francisco, for the Niners.
• 48:15
  And, well, I got to say that you're a 49ers strand.
• 48:19
  Or if you want the 49ers to be good again for whatever, excuse
• 48:22
  me, For whatever reason, all you're all you do in my playing,
• 48:27
  in these memes is helping them duck accountability.
• 48:31
  Because a team does not be. It starts with the leadership
• 48:38
  and it starts with the people and the facility.
• 48:41
  A big common nominator is Dustin Perry.
• 48:46
  He's been the vice president of players, player health and
• 48:49
  performance for eight years now. You've got your head strength
• 48:58
  and conditioning coach Mike the Colony, but guys like that are
• 49:05
  in charge of keeping these, these players healthy.
• 49:08
  It's the way how the way you practice.
• 49:12
  Like you, I saw a couple of clips just from this past
• 49:18
  training camp session. They're doing walkthroughs
• 49:21
  without any pads on. And you've got guys like
• 49:23
  punching at the football and you know, hitting their guy like
• 49:28
  Fred Warner try to punch out of the football.
• 49:30
  It's it's a walkthrough like, and there's it's more contact
• 49:34
  than you need to do when you're doing a walkthrough.
• 49:36
  So and like Kyle Shanahan, like should not be you should be
• 49:41
  getting on guys about that. Like, hey, like we don't need to
• 49:44
  be hurting our own players in walkthroughs and doing things
• 49:47
  like this. We just received a text.
• 49:49
  HG Michael from Canada says should star players play at all
• 49:56
  during the upcoming pre season? It's it's very situational
• 50:03
  there. Michael, depending on what the
• 50:08
  the situation is like a guy that's on a new team.
• 50:11
  I think absolutely does need to play a little bit.
• 50:15
  You can practice in training camp and and just practice all
• 50:19
  season long. But like the preseason is like
• 50:22
  real game speed and it gives you a chance to practice to do those
• 50:29
  plays the and see these concepts in a real game situation.
• 50:36
  Guys that have been with a team longer and you know, have, if
• 50:42
  the playbook hasn't changed a whole lot and there isn't too
• 50:47
  many new things for you to learn, I think that's better for
• 50:50
  those guys to sit and rest or the just play very sparingly.
• 50:55
  But I think we're going to see guys that are in new situations
• 50:59
  definitely play a little bit. And I think overall, I know it's
• 51:05
  risky to have your players play in the preseason, but I, I think
• 51:11
  even just getting them a driver to a game is good to get them
• 51:16
  used. You know, it's a long offseason.
• 51:18
  You kind of need to just get yourself acclimated back to the
• 51:21
  football game speed. But some teams like to just
• 51:26
  treat those first few weeks of the season like it's a preseason
• 51:29
  and that not play as many of their star players.
• 51:34
  Timmy from Texas, right? Tim, which team do you think is
• 51:39
  going to be flying under the radar this year?
• 51:44
  Flying under the radar? I've got, I've got a few in
• 51:53
  mind. This is what the first seems
• 51:59
  like. The Dallas Cowboys not
• 52:01
  necessarily are going to be flying under the radar, but I do
• 52:06
  think have the capacity. We always think them as all
• 52:09
  they, yeah, they'll be great in the regular season and choke in
• 52:12
  the playoffs. But over the past few years,
• 52:15
  we've seen some of the best play we've seen out of Dak Prescott.
• 52:22
  I think Schottenheimer's really done it.
• 52:25
  Or their coach. It's not Schottenheimer.
• 52:29
  I'm blanking on his name, but the new head coach, he was
• 52:31
  really good last year. I think I have a lot of optimism
• 52:35
  about Christian Parker as the defensive coordinator.
• 52:39
  I think the Cowboys are a team capable of of putting together a
• 52:44
  potentially deep run isn't necessarily their year.
• 52:47
  The NFC is brutal. It's very tough.
• 52:51
  But I think they realistically could be the best team in the
• 52:54
  NFC East and I wouldn't be all surprised to see them shock some
• 53:00
  people and go to like the the conference championship.
• 53:04
  The team I think that will fly under the radar the most is the
• 53:09
  New Orleans Saints, though. Obviously they weren't too good
• 53:11
  at second year quarterback who played really well at the end of
• 53:16
  the season, but they added so much.
• 53:17
  They just have so much speed at that wide receiver position.
• 53:21
  They didn't really lose anything too crucial on the defensive
• 53:27
  side of the ball. The division isn't very tough.
• 53:33
  I think what sets them apart from every other team in their
• 53:36
  division right now is that Chase Young really looks like that
• 53:39
  disruptive edge rusher that you have there.
• 53:43
  The running backroom is absolutely stacked, so they're a
• 53:48
  team that could, I mean really flip their win total and go from
• 53:54
  they won what, six games last year to I wouldn't be surprised
• 53:59
  if the chips fall right for them.
• 54:01
  They have a pretty easy schedule as well and they win 1112 games.
• 54:06
  So those are the two teams to to really watch out for in my
• 54:12
  opinion. I'll also give the Colts a shout
• 54:14
  out. I think they got really bad luck
• 54:17
  with injuries. I think if they stay healthy,
• 54:21
  that offensive line is still one of the best in football.
• 54:25
  Jonathan Taylor is really good and Daniel Jones, I I believe in
• 54:35
  what him and Shane Styken can do there.
• 54:38
  It looked good all right and I think if Taylor's with a elite
• 54:42
  back like Taylor, I mean all you have to do is protect the
• 54:45
  football. Their defense is really good as
• 54:48
  well. They can they can survive off of
• 54:52
  being a run heavy team on the run steady defense or run steady
• 54:57
  diet rather so I wouldn't yeah, I wouldn't sleep on the Colts
• 55:03
  either. They could surprise some people.
• 55:07
  But last little note I had on the the 49ers, it's not just a
• 55:12
  substation. You've been the most injured
• 55:15
  team or in the top 10 most injured teams 12 out of the last
• 55:18
  13 seasons. You got to do something
• 55:20
  different. People got to be held
• 55:22
  accountable there. On to some other news that we
• 55:26
  got. Keep those questions coming.
• 55:28
  Guys. Love answering them.
• 55:29
  On some other news that we got though, Dijon Robinson just
• 55:34
  became the highest paid running back in NFL history with a
• 55:40
  record setting four or three-year $75 million
• 55:48
  extension. He's going to get at least 51
• 55:55
  million guaranteed and 37 million at signing.
• 56:00
  So huge, huge contract for Bichon and how the pressure is
• 56:07
  on the Lions. You're going to have to pay
• 56:09
  Jameer Gibbs and it's going to cost a lot.
• 56:14
  It's not going to be fun. You're not going to want to pay
• 56:17
  that, but you're going to have to.
• 56:20
  That certainly puts a lot of pressure on whoever is going to
• 56:24
  be quarterbacking, the Chicago, not the Chicago, the Atlanta
• 56:29
  Falcons. You're going to have.
• 56:34
  I mean it. You just extended your running
• 56:37
  back. The defense is solid.
• 56:39
  They did lose their promising rookie edge rusher Jalen Walker
• 56:44
  toward his ACL and looks like that's going to be a season
• 56:50
  ending for him. But the defense, so the side of
• 56:54
  the ball still got some talent there.
• 56:57
  You've got a lot of elite weapons on offense, Kyle Pitts,
• 57:02
  Drake London, Bijan Robinson now throwing a lot of excuses for
• 57:09
  the Falcons team. And I mean, it's like it'll be
• 57:11
  make or break for Michael Pennix or a last chance for two of
• 57:15
  whoever ends up being the quarterback.
• 57:17
  There doesn't really seem like they have a clear a clear
• 57:24
  decision on who's going to be quarterback in Atlanta on Week
• 57:27
  1. Some other extensions, Bijan or
• 57:32
  I said be John Zay Flowers getting a four year, $140
• 57:37
  million extension. So the Ravens are still all in
• 57:43
  on Zay Flowers there. You know, he's got, he's still
• 57:48
  one of the elite catch and run receivers.
• 57:51
  He's so dynamic with the ball in his hands.
• 57:59
  And another big extension, Darnell Wright going to become
• 58:04
  the highest paid or one of the highest paid offensive lineman
• 58:09
  in the NFL. Four year, $116 million deal,
• 58:16
  93,000,000 guaranteed. Former first rounder is cashing
• 58:21
  in in a big way, but he deserves it.
• 58:24
  He is one of the elite, elite offensive lineman in football
• 58:29
  for a tackle. His size, the way he's able to
• 58:31
  move his feet, the power and athleticism, that is a rare
• 58:37
  combo. That is a guy you want on your
• 58:40
  offensive line and that you want protecting your star quarterback
• 58:45
  and opening up running lanes for your running backs.
• 58:50
  So huge, big, big signing there for the Bears.
• 58:55
  Good for them. Some unfortunate news for
• 58:59
  Chicago. Kobe Bryant probably going to
• 59:01
  miss the first couple weeks of the season.
• 59:05
  He's expected to be sidelined with a hyperextended knee bone
• 59:08
  bruise. 8 to 10 weeks. I'll be unfortunate for the
• 59:15
  Bears. Yeah, they're especially.
• 59:17
  They could really use a good safety like him back there for
• 59:21
  them. Chicago, they were a really fun
• 59:25
  team last year. But one thing that worries me is
• 59:30
  they didn't make a ton of improvements defensively.
• 59:34
  I like Kobe Bryant was great for the secondary.
• 59:38
  They still don't have a lot of speed or disruptive ability on
• 59:41
  their defensive front. Be tough to live in the OR
• 59:45
  escape on those one score games. I just don't think they're going
• 59:49
  to have as many takeaways as they did last year.
• 59:53
  Jadeveon Clowney, a reunion with the Cleveland or with the
• 59:58
  Houston Texans coming back for you know, we'll see.
• 1:00:03
  It's a one year deal, but can't hurt to have even more depth to
• 1:00:09
  just an already insanely stacked defensive line.
• 1:00:15
  Houston, my prediction. I mean, there is really, there's
• 1:00:18
  no reason they shouldn't be the number one defense in football.
• 1:00:22
  They didn't really lose anybody too instrumental to their team.
• 1:00:27
  They get Kaden McDonald in the draft and they also bring in
• 1:00:32
  Reed Blankenship. I mean, this should be an elite
• 1:00:34
  defensive unit here. Fortunate for Ricky Pearsall,
• 1:00:40
  that was tragic to hear that he's going to have to go under
• 1:00:43
  seat. Season ending surgery.
• 1:00:45
  Got a guy that was so healthy in college and just I can't just
• 1:00:53
  can't seem to stay on the field. It really sucks, man.
• 1:00:55
  It really, really sucks. Yeah.
• 1:01:02
  Hope he gets better soon. The another big extension here,
• 1:01:10
  the Falcons, their guard Matthew Bergon, a huge extension there.
• 1:01:16
  So that's going to be again, part of that offensive core.
• 1:01:21
  They're the Falcons are going all in, but I just don't think
• 1:01:25
  they have the quarterback for that.
• 1:01:28
  As we get through the regular season in the coming weeks, I'm
• 1:01:32
  going to have power rankings and record predictions for all the
• 1:01:37
  team. So stay tuned, look forward to
• 1:01:40
  that. We're going to have some
• 1:01:41
  preseason games coming up this weekend.
• 1:01:43
  So I just want to take a look at some of those and let you know
• 1:01:48
  where or some intriguing stories might be.
• 1:01:52
  Obviously we've got the Hall of Fame Game tonight or tomorrow
• 1:01:55
  night. That'll be exciting.
• 1:02:00
  And then the rest of the preseason doesn't really get
• 1:02:02
  going until August 13th. Keeping an eye on this, this
• 1:02:10
  Colts game. I'm just, I want to see what
• 1:02:13
  Anthony Richardson's got. Have they made any improvements
• 1:02:19
  to his mechanics and his intermediate passing?
• 1:02:22
  And he's got such a nuke of an arm.
• 1:02:25
  It'd be such a shame. And he's just so much
• 1:02:28
  athleticism. So just be like, can they find
• 1:02:32
  the role for him? Can something I'm going to be
• 1:02:35
  watching from the Colts all preseason, can they kind of
• 1:02:38
  carve out a, a niche for him there?
• 1:02:45
  Cam Ward and Carnell Tay, I'm excited to see what they've got
• 1:02:49
  potentially coming up as they take on the the 49ers.
• 1:02:57
  Obviously my Broncos, they're playing the the Falcons on
• 1:03:00
  Friday, August 14th. I want to see Jalen Waddle in
• 1:03:05
  action. So hopefully we get some some
• 1:03:08
  Waddle action there. The Jets could have an
• 1:03:12
  interesting quarterback battle on their hands.
• 1:03:16
  We're going to probably see Gina.
• 1:03:17
  We're going to see Kate Klubnik, maybe Tyrod Taylor if he's still
• 1:03:20
  there. I can't even really remember
• 1:03:22
  everyone in that that quarterback room.
• 1:03:28
  Bills. Do we get to see a little Josh
• 1:03:30
  Allen and DJ Moore connection? That'll be fun.
• 1:03:33
  Vikings first look at Kyler Murray playing for the the
• 1:03:37
  Vikings. Will we see any Miles Garrett
• 1:03:41
  when the Rams take on the Chiefs?
• 1:03:43
  That's something that I'll be I'll be eager to see.
• 1:03:46
  How is he looking on that Rams defense?
• 1:03:53
  The Seahawks taking out the Cowboys, something to watch in
• 1:03:58
  that game. Kind of a running back that
• 1:04:01
  battle here. I mean, the Seahawks spent a
• 1:04:03
  first round pick on, excuse me, I got the hiccups on Jadarian
• 1:04:07
  Price. Are we going to see, you know,
• 1:04:14
  him getting a lot of the reps? Is he going to be cutting into
• 1:04:17
  Jack Zach Charbonnay's work? Who's going to look more
• 1:04:21
  impressive that there's kind of an RB battle there in Seattle
• 1:04:25
  going on throughout the season? Hey, y'all, I'm, I'm obviously
• 1:04:29
  fishing for some stuff. It's preseason.
• 1:04:31
  It's a lot of just guys trying to make the roster, teams trying
• 1:04:35
  to to work out the the kinks and their game plans and their their
• 1:04:39
  playbooks. But yeah, still some intriguing
• 1:04:41
  things to to look forward to. Another thing to look forward
• 1:04:45
  to, college football is going to be back very, very soon.
• 1:04:53
  And week zero, Week 1 living on the call.
• 1:04:58
  It's going to be upon us pretty quickly looking at some of the
• 1:05:05
  first games that we're going to get this month.
• 1:05:14
  August 29th should be game on the 22nd.
• 1:05:18
  I'm not sure why, ESP NS not showing that, but we're looking
• 1:05:21
  at some of these matchups here on August 29th, some of the
• 1:05:25
  intrigue that we could have here.
• 1:05:30
  Sacramento State, their first game in the FBS level.
• 1:05:35
  They'll be taking on Eastern Michigan.
• 1:05:38
  Be fun to watch there. We've got a couple of conference
• 1:05:42
  matchups. I mean, NC State playing
• 1:05:44
  Virginia, there's intrigue there, especially because NC
• 1:05:50
  State's sort of had Virginia's number past couple years.
• 1:05:53
  But Virginia did come very close to winning the ACC last year.
• 1:06:00
  Also, North Dakota State, their first game at the FBS level,
• 1:06:04
  they'll be hosting Jacksonville State.
• 1:06:08
  Two Group of Six teams that have some playoff hopes and our
• 1:06:13
  favorites to potentially win their respective conferences.
• 1:06:17
  You've got Memphis taken on UNLV.
• 1:06:19
  Memphis, one of the the teams to favorite to potentially win the
• 1:06:24
  American UNLV with Boise State out of the picture and in the
• 1:06:28
  PAC 12. It's really, really be even of
• 1:06:31
  these year to be the top dog and to win the win the Mountain
• 1:06:37
  West. And then I think the matchup I'm
• 1:06:40
  really looking forward to North Carolina.
• 1:06:42
  Really disappointing season last year.
• 1:06:44
  So they are going to want to come back strong.
• 1:06:48
  They're taking on a TCU team that is in a very competitive
• 1:06:53
  and difficult Big 12. So that will be a very
• 1:06:59
  intriguing game to watch. That is our Aer Lingus College
• 1:07:03
  Football Classic. And I want to also be rolling
• 1:07:09
  out my own preseason top 25, some of my favorite group of Six
• 1:07:14
  teams to watch in the coming weeks as well.
• 1:07:18
  So stay tuned for that. But my favorite time of the year
• 1:07:21
  is almost back. It's The Saturdays and Sundays.
• 1:07:25
  It's just football, football, football.
• 1:07:27
  I mean, Thursday, Friday, even in the Monday, we've just got
• 1:07:32
  College in the NFL to to feed this.
• 1:07:36
  So I'm very excited. So it's getting to that time of
• 1:07:39
  the year again. So I can't wait.
• 1:07:40
  And I'll be here to keep you all updated.
• 1:07:44
  And we're going to be we're previewing and looking ahead to
• 1:07:47
  the season. So stay tuned to keep an eye out
• 1:07:50
  for that. Come up on that time though, to
• 1:07:53
  take another break. We're going to go ahead and hit
• 1:07:57
  our one of our final music break of the show today.
• 1:07:59
  Most likely when we come back, I'm going to go ahead and do
• 1:08:03
  another mock draft. So if you've got a, you know
• 1:08:08
  where you're picking and you know what your league's format
• 1:08:12
  is, your roster format, let me know.
• 1:08:14
  I'd be happy to mock draft for you and just give you my
• 1:08:17
  thoughts. If not though, we're going to
• 1:08:20
  take a stab at a late round pick.
• 1:08:22
  I'm thinking 8 or 9, kind of a difficult spot to pick out,
• 1:08:27
  especially in the 12 man league, but we're going to take a shot
• 1:08:29
  and show you how to construct a really good team from that
• 1:08:32
  position. So don't go anywhere.
• 1:08:34
  We're watching the final time out.
• 1:08:36

  you got them Love to answer those.
• 1:10:23
  And we're going to go ahead and do a a mock draft.
• 1:10:26
  So let me get this up for y'all. I think we're going to go take
• 1:10:29
  this at the number ninth position.
• 1:10:32
  It's a tough place to draft in. You know, it can be a little can
• 1:10:35
  be a little daunting, but obviously somebody's got a draft
• 1:10:38
  there and that's going to be us for this this experiment.
• 1:10:44
  So we're jumping into it. We're going to just get right
• 1:10:49
  in. I've got it ready to go.
• 1:10:52
  And yeah, we're at standard PPR scoring to keep that in mind.
• 1:11:00
  That's PPR is the way to go. We're just going to go hit it.
• 1:11:05
  So maybe, I guess not. This one's going to require me
• 1:11:12
  to use the sign in. All right, stand by everyone.
• 1:11:30
  #9 pick, all right, we're in. All right, so here we are then.
• 1:11:41
  That pick 9, A guy that kind of scares me that is available is
• 1:11:46
  Derrick Henry. I'm not super high on taking
• 1:11:50
  Henry in the first round. I think if you can get him in
• 1:11:53
  the second round, like if you swing back around and get
• 1:11:56
  Derrick Henry, I'd love that. But I think this year, new
• 1:12:02
  offensive coordinator, the offensive line, still one of the
• 1:12:09
  best in football, A.J. Brown out of the picture.
• 1:12:15
  So I think you're going to just see a lot more volume for this
• 1:12:19
  guy. I really love Saquon Barkley
• 1:12:21
  right here since this is PPR, Almond Raw, St.
• 1:12:25
  Brown also an insanely safe pick.
• 1:12:29
  If you don't, if you're not feel, if you're feeling a little
• 1:12:32
  uncomfortable about these 3 running backs are going to
• 1:12:34
  probably be available here. Almond Raw or even CD are both
• 1:12:39
  very great safe value picks. You can take them and swing back
• 1:12:43
  around, but I really like Saquon.
• 1:12:45
  He's going to be one of the top 10 running backs that go in
• 1:12:49
  fantasy drafts and a lot of times your top 10 finishes in
• 1:12:52
  fantasy for the running back position.
• 1:12:55
  They go in the first and second round.
• 1:12:56
  So I'm going to go ahead and snag him.
• 1:12:58
  There's just more depth at the wide receiver position.
• 1:13:03
  So Bam Gente off the board. Now I'm going to go with a
• 1:13:09
  little bit of an interesting strategy here for you.
• 1:13:15
  But like I mentioned, there's a lot of depth at the wide
• 1:13:18
  receiver position. There's just more value there.
• 1:13:22
  This is called the 2 running back strategy.
• 1:13:25
  You can go ahead, just pick two really top tier running backs
• 1:13:30
  early and then pick go swing for some high value upside players
• 1:13:41
  later. So at this point, we're going to
• 1:13:45
  go with Kenneth Walker. I know Justin Jefferson's there.
• 1:13:47
  That's probably who I'd take if I was going to go with a wide
• 1:13:50
  receiver in this position. But we're going to take Kenneth
• 1:13:53
  Walker now. I think we've got really, I
• 1:13:55
  mean, two guys that don't have a lot of competition in their
• 1:13:59
  backfields and are going to get a ton of carries.
• 1:14:05
  They're both pass catching threats.
• 1:14:07
  Now we can go and take a look at some guys at the wide receiver
• 1:14:10
  position. So a little worried about Malik
• 1:14:12
  Neighbors coming off of the ACL, same with Rasheed Rice.
• 1:14:16
  Just looking at everyone we've got available at the wide
• 1:14:22
  receiver position. I'm actually going to go ahead
• 1:14:24
  and take Zay Flowers here. The Ravens just extended him.
• 1:14:29
  There isn't a lot of competition for him besides maybe rookie
• 1:14:33
  Jacoby Lane. I mean, he's still the wide
• 1:14:35
  receiver one there in Baltimore. Obviously, you've got one of the
• 1:14:40
  best quarterbacks in the league throwing to him.
• 1:14:43
  And my only concern would maybe be the brain and Todd Munkin no
• 1:14:49
  longer being there at the offensive coordinated position.
• 1:14:52
  But I still think he'll see a high, high percentage of the
• 1:14:56
  targets. Devante Smith also an insanely
• 1:14:59
  safe pick. I just have Saquan.
• 1:15:00
  So I don't like those guys having the same bye week.
• 1:15:03
  Wouldn't hate taking Waddle here as well, but I'm going to go and
• 1:15:05
  say in this position, all right, here we go.
• 1:15:13
  And now I mean Jalen Waddle still on the board for me.
• 1:15:22
  Adams, Adams is he's questionable to me.
• 1:15:28
  I might take him here, but a lot of his production came from red
• 1:15:33
  zone targets and touchdowns. That's not necessarily going to
• 1:15:37
  be the case. I don't know if that's going to
• 1:15:39
  be just a sustainable strategy for him.
• 1:15:42
  You know, it'll be hard to replicate all those red zone
• 1:15:45
  targets that he got, especially with Puka getting that that
• 1:15:49
  extension. So I'm going to go with Waddle
• 1:15:52
  here. He's a guy in a new situation.
• 1:15:55
  Those new situations can be where they're just advantageous
• 1:15:59
  for those players or just that was like 4 of the top 10
• 1:16:03
  finishes last year or might have been three in terms of wide
• 1:16:07
  receivers like the past couple seasons usually see three or
• 1:16:09
  four guys in new situations finish within the top 10
• 1:16:14
  fantasy. So Waddle going to go take him
• 1:16:18
  there now. I think we're coming up on pick
• 1:16:20
  5. This will be a good time to take
• 1:16:21
  a look at our quarterback position.
• 1:16:24
  You can see all these picks that are coming off here what we've
• 1:16:29
  got. Let's take a look at everybody
• 1:16:32
  that's still available here. All right.
• 1:16:37
  Just some of our quarterbacks that they're available.
• 1:16:44
  I'm actually going to break my own rule.
• 1:16:46
  I'm not going to go take a quarterback here.
• 1:16:48
  We're going to go take a tight end guy that I think has a lot
• 1:16:53
  of high upside, somebody who we imagine is going to get a lot of
• 1:16:57
  targets. I do like Tyler Warren.
• 1:16:59
  I'm more partial to Tucker Craft a bit more proven he's coming
• 1:17:04
  off of an injury, but couple of major pass cashiers out in Green
• 1:17:09
  Bay. He's so explosive with the ball
• 1:17:13
  in his hands as well. Travis Kelsey, like prime Travis
• 1:17:16
  Kelsey, like athleticism. We're going to take Tucker now
• 1:17:24
  comes back to us. We're just going to swing around
• 1:17:28
  and grab Drake May. I love his situation.
• 1:17:32
  I mean, the line's still pretty good.
• 1:17:36
  Schedule's going to be a little bit tougher, but you add Romeo
• 1:17:40
  Dobbs and A.J. Brown to that pass catching
• 1:17:43
  room, I don't think there's any reason to believe that Drake Man
• 1:17:46
  can't replicate his production from last year and finish top
• 1:17:50
  15, top 10 fantasy. Now we just continue to look for
• 1:17:59
  depth. Now we're going to start looking
• 1:18:00
  for depth and value picks here. A couple of guys that really
• 1:18:08
  stand out to me. Again, DJ Moore, another guy
• 1:18:09
  that's in a great situation. Play Coram.
• 1:18:14
  I really do like, I think he's going to become the RV one in in
• 1:18:21
  LA, but that's a it's just like he's a bit of a stasher.
• 1:18:25
  So it's a bit risky to take him here honestly.
• 1:18:28
  Who I'm going with his Parker Washington.
• 1:18:30
  He exploded at the end of the year.
• 1:18:35
  And I mean there's just Brian Thomas junior had a bit of a
• 1:18:40
  slump off. I mean, you losing some pass
• 1:18:43
  catching ability and Travis Etn, Liam Cohen's just very creative
• 1:18:48
  getting a guy who's explosive with the ball, getting him space
• 1:18:54
  to run. So I I just think we might see
• 1:18:57
  him even get a little bit involved with rushing.
• 1:18:59
  I love Parker WA as our flex. I just see Brandon Aubrey go
• 1:19:05
  that's insane. All right now here's where we
• 1:19:09
  probably go grab some RB depth. Taking a look at some of the
• 1:19:12
  guys here don't hate Jacory Croskey merit in this situation.
• 1:19:18
  I'm going to go with Kenneth Gainwell though.
• 1:19:23
  He just showed so much elite pass catching potential.
• 1:19:27
  I mean, it's just hard, especially like losing Mike
• 1:19:30
  Evans. I mean, like, it's hard.
• 1:19:32
  It'll be really hard for the Buccaneers to not get Gain well
• 1:19:37
  out there on the field. So I know Bucky Irving is the
• 1:19:41
  RB1 there, but Gainwell is just way too productive as a pass
• 1:19:47
  catcher. He's really good running back as
• 1:19:49
  well. I think Bucky's a guy who I kind
• 1:19:53
  of want to avoid because of Kenneth Daniel.
• 1:19:55
  I think Gainwell's really going to eat into his workload and I
• 1:19:58
  don't hate having them on my team.
• 1:20:09
  I got the long wait back to us. All right.
• 1:20:17
  Well, you have, I like our three receivers.
• 1:20:20
  We've got a couple of a couple of interesting options here at
• 1:20:27
  this point. I do, I do want to take another
• 1:20:33
  running back because again, I feel like we can still find some
• 1:20:36
  value from receivers. And I think this is where we're
• 1:20:40
  going to start seeing our the running backs.
• 1:20:45
  I mean, as you can see, they're going to start taking a sharp
• 1:20:48
  dip from here. Like I said, Charbonnet, a guy
• 1:20:57
  that I was a little, I'm a little hesitant to take because
• 1:21:00
  I could see Price eating into his workload a lot.
• 1:21:06
  However, he's not. I'm going to take him because
• 1:21:10
  you can draft players to have for just part of the season and
• 1:21:14
  then drop later. I think early on we're still
• 1:21:18
  going to see Charbonnay be the RB 1 he is.
• 1:21:22
  The more he's the more power back and that in that room.
• 1:21:27
  So and early in the season, I think his goal line and red zone
• 1:21:33
  work will still be higher. He's a guy that I think will be
• 1:21:37
  beneficial to have on my team early and then I don't hate
• 1:21:41
  moving on from later when when I'm trying to target people on
• 1:21:49
  the waiver wires. All right, going to go ahead and
• 1:21:52
  take a look at some of our other options.
• 1:21:58
  I'm all right. Couple of guys to jump out to
• 1:22:02
  me. Jayden Reed, again, so explosive
• 1:22:05
  and dynamic, but his health has been a concern for me.
• 1:22:11
  Xavier Worthy, another guy that could be really good.
• 1:22:19
  I just, I'm on again, the health problems, if Rice is actually
• 1:22:24
  able to stay out there on the field, I wonder if his targets
• 1:22:27
  will come down. He's also kind of a boom or bust
• 1:22:30
  player where a lot of his points can be generated just based off
• 1:22:33
  of explosive plays. For me, a really safe pick.
• 1:22:37
  I mean, Romeo Dobbs, opposite of A.J.
• 1:22:39
  Brown, you can, we can stack him with Drake May.
• 1:22:46
  I think that's a good pick here for us.
• 1:22:48
  So we're going to go ahead and get Dobbs undrafted free.
• 1:22:55
  Free agent Stefan Dick is getting drafted.
• 1:22:57
  It's just blowing my mind. OK, taking another look here in
• 1:23:07
  pick or in round 11. Not a bad idea to consider your
• 1:23:15
  backup quarterback spot at this point.
• 1:23:19
  We do have a pretty quick turn around.
• 1:23:21
  So I'm actually gonna take see, let's look at kickers defense
• 1:23:27
  here. Honestly at this spot, I
• 1:23:34
  wouldn't hate taking the defense here if we can get one of the
• 1:23:37
  really elite ones and look at that.
• 1:23:39
  We got probably the top three defenses still available.
• 1:23:46
  The Rams would definitely have to be there and then to round
• 1:23:50
  out the top five in terms of defenses in the league.
• 1:23:55
  Maybe the Eagles, but I would probably give it to the Vikings.
• 1:24:00
  Honestly, I think we can go get the Texans here.
• 1:24:06
  This is an elite defense that we can start for pretty much the
• 1:24:09
  entire year. I I just don't see any reason
• 1:24:11
  why you wouldn't. The Texans wouldn't be a good
• 1:24:13
  start. They're going to be a team that
• 1:24:15
  can generate a lot of sacks and takeaways.
• 1:24:19
  Now we can go ahead and get ourselves a, a backup
• 1:24:24
  quarterback. I like Drake May, but I'm a guy
• 1:24:28
  that I think it's important to just have a, a really solid
• 1:24:32
  backup that you can even besides just the bye week, if you don't
• 1:24:36
  have a very favorable matchup for your QB, you can go to
• 1:24:39
  somebody else. I love Jared Goff.
• 1:24:41
  I mean Jared Goff really had an MVP caliber type of season.
• 1:24:47
  They still have all those weapons there.
• 1:24:50
  I don't see any reason why he can't go for like 3800 to 4000
• 1:24:55
  yards passing and throw 33 to 36 touchdowns again.
• 1:25:00
  So go ahead and secure golf. Just need a kicker and some more
• 1:25:08
  depth here. Take a look at everybody that's
• 1:25:15
  still available. Tyler Algiers going to have to
• 1:25:18
  deal with a lot of the to. Darion Price could potentially
• 1:25:24
  take a backup tight end in this spot, but I just don't really
• 1:25:27
  see any reason for that. Go ahead and hit the waivers,
• 1:25:32
  but one week we might need to get Tucker Craft on the by.
• 1:25:36
  There will be somebody there that you can grab.
• 1:25:41
  I just don't think it's worth risk wasting a roster spot on
• 1:25:44
  the back up tight end. Honestly, the guy that jumps out
• 1:25:47
  to me in this spot, I think KC conceptual and I mean he has
• 1:25:51
  really no competition there. I know the offense for the
• 1:25:55
  Browns is going to probably be pretty putrid.
• 1:25:57
  Who knows? I mean that we could see five
• 1:26:01
  different quarterbacks for Cleveland this year.
• 1:26:03
  It's a real toss up on who they're going to be.
• 1:26:05
  They lost a lot of the pieces on their offensive line, but
• 1:26:09
  there's just nobody really did. There's not a lot of competition
• 1:26:14
  and pick around 13. He's an absolute steal at this
• 1:26:19
  spot, so we're going to go ahead and grab him, keep going.
• 1:26:25
  I think it's worth it to just wait, take a kicker in our final
• 1:26:30
  round, see what we got here. So we've got 5 receivers, we've
• 1:26:38
  got 4 running backs and maybe take a shot on the RB.
• 1:26:43
  Let's see who's here. Not really loving what we've got
• 1:26:50
  here. Be interesting here.
• 1:26:54
  He's just got a lot of a lot of competition there.
• 1:27:03
  Well, I'll tell you what we're going to do here.
• 1:27:09
  Couple options. So we could draft and stash
• 1:27:13
  approach with Jonah Coleman. JK Dobbins has had some injury
• 1:27:18
  issues. Could be a guy you just want to
• 1:27:21
  try to stash on your team or something.
• 1:27:24
  Or Braylon Allen does see a lot of red zone work.
• 1:27:31
  Throw him on the bottom of your roster there and see if you know
• 1:27:36
  he's if it's worth it to have him there or you can go and just
• 1:27:42
  load up in the wide receiver position again.
• 1:27:45
  Definitely some more value there.
• 1:27:50
  I wouldn't hate taking Omar Cooper junior alongside Garrett
• 1:27:55
  Wilson. You know what?
• 1:27:56
  I think that's what I'm going to do here.
• 1:27:58
  I'd probably go either Braylon Allen or Wilson, but like the
• 1:28:03
  running backs we have, again, we went really top heavy early on
• 1:28:07
  so we're not going to need to play too many different running
• 1:28:11
  backs. Now we've got our final pick
• 1:28:13
  here and we just got to go ahead and grab our kicker.
• 1:28:18
  Got a couple of established guys, but you know who I think
• 1:28:24
  just based off of some statistics will be have a really
• 1:28:28
  great year? Charlie Smith of the New Orleans
• 1:28:33
  Saints, a team that kicked a lot of field goals last year, but
• 1:28:39
  they just didn't have a lot of good.
• 1:28:42
  They just didn't have a really good kicker.
• 1:28:44
  But he came in and he was one of the top kickers in the leagues
• 1:28:49
  leagues. So I think I'm going to go with
• 1:28:52
  Cairo just because he's a little more established, better, not as
• 1:28:59
  a young of a player, bigger leg and everything.
• 1:29:01
  So he's probably the play there. But Smith is just a guy to keep
• 1:29:06
  on your radar, All right? I don't know if a lot of people
• 1:29:09
  are going to draft him and he has a real potential to be a top
• 1:29:13
  10 kicker in fantasy. Just keep him on your radar.
• 1:29:16
  I'm going to go Cairo because the Bears I think are a team
• 1:29:19
  that's going to be kicking a lot of field goals.
• 1:29:20
  Their offense is good enough to get the ball in the field goal
• 1:29:25
  range, but I could see them stalling out a good amount and
• 1:29:31
  they're going to the defense didn't improve a whole lot.
• 1:29:34
  So they're going to probably need to score a lot of points in
• 1:29:39
  a game a lot of weeks. So all right, well, let's take a
• 1:29:44
  look at the final product We get AB grade from this website B
• 1:29:50
  minus. They're saying our star of their
• 1:29:54
  strength is 6 to 12. I don't know how there's their
• 1:29:58
  scoring works in this or why they're saying we'd only average
• 1:30:01
  88 points. That's the league average.
• 1:30:04
  We'd be averaging 87.9. But and let me know what you
• 1:30:09
  think of this team, how I did on this.
• 1:30:16
  The two running back strategy can be a little risky.
• 1:30:19
  I think it works better if you're a top getting a top five
• 1:30:24
  pick cuz then you can take one of the really elite running
• 1:30:27
  backs there. But these two guys just have
• 1:30:30
  basically no competition and a huge workload, which is why I
• 1:30:33
  fit. I took a swing and took them
• 1:30:37
  with the two RV strategy. I will say I would probably
• 1:30:44
  stick to it if you're in the top five unless you have been doing
• 1:30:48
  fantasy football for a while. But we'll, I'll, I'll show you a
• 1:30:53
  demo of that next week as well when we do some more mock drafts
• 1:30:58
  and everything like that. But that wraps up this mock
• 1:31:01
  draft. I really like our bench.
• 1:31:03
  I think we've got a lot of a lot of upside here.
• 1:31:07
  Couple of guys that I wouldn't hate moving on from 2:00 as
• 1:31:10
  well. That can at least provide us
• 1:31:12
  some value early on in the season.
• 1:31:15
  But this is a really good team, elite defense.
• 1:31:22
  We've got plenty of options to go through through wide receiver
• 1:31:25
  and I just don't really think we're be any reason why we would
• 1:31:28
  be taking these two out except for bye weeks.
• 1:31:30
  So pretty good team. They're going to go ahead and do
• 1:31:34
  our final music break of the show today.
• 1:31:36
  But when we come back, it's going to be the 82 and no
• 1:31:40
  challenge. So to stay tuned for that.

  MV Radio dot US. Welcome back, ladies and

  gentlemen. Still finishing my doughnut.
• 1:35:55
  I apologize, but yeah, it's the final time out about the fun
• 1:36:04
  show today. Really excited to do not mock
• 1:36:08
  draft, talking about football, breaking down some of these MLB
• 1:36:12
  trades. Now all my favorite segments to
• 1:36:17
  do the team building exercise. And I'm putting together a
• 1:36:36
  special team. We're back challenge on the 80
• 1:36:44
  tl.com playing hoop IQ. We got to try to build a roster
• 1:36:48
  that can go 82 and based off of a decade stat averages.
• 1:36:55
  Can we put together the perfect roster?
• 1:36:58
  We don't we don't get to know any of the stats.
• 1:37:00
  We just got to pull, pull it out of the bag.
• 1:37:03
  Couple of re spins if we need them.
• 1:37:06
  Washington in the 60s. All right.
• 1:37:15
  I don't know if Wes unselder Walt Bellamy was averaging more.
• 1:37:21
  This isn't a terrible place to start, though.
• 1:37:23
  I'm going to go with Wes Unseld. Put them in their center.
• 1:37:29
  The good thing about those, the very old teams is that they
• 1:37:33
  their centers were just African ridiculous amounts of stats.
• 1:37:39
  Oh man, we got Indiana. We're going to re spend the
• 1:37:41
  team. That's really one of the worst
• 1:37:43
  ones to get. Boston in the 2000s isn't too
• 1:37:46
  bad. It's not OK.
• 1:37:50
  We go like Ray Allen, Allen Ray. I think we got like a Paul,
• 1:37:57
  what's his name, Paul Pierce here, though.
• 1:37:59
  That's yeah, I'm overthinking this.
• 1:38:02
  Paul, Paul Pierce is the way to go.
• 1:38:05
  We'll throw them in our small forward spot.
• 1:38:10
  That's true position. Dang.
• 1:38:12
  We get Cleveland in the 220 twenties, which is the best.
• 1:38:18
  We would have preferred to get the 2000s, but we can take
• 1:38:23
  Donovan Mitchell as our point guard.
• 1:38:28
  I got absolutely no problem with that.
• 1:38:30
  Oh, this is beautiful. Now we can go in that, get Luca.
• 1:38:36
  Where is he? Luke?
• 1:38:39
  Don Chiches, our shooting guard. That's really good there.
• 1:38:42
  Now we just need a strong power forward here.
• 1:38:47
  Ah, man, I can't play Yokich as Dang man.
• 1:38:53
  Wow. Well, we would have loved to get
• 1:38:55
  Nicola Yokich to end it off here.
• 1:38:57
  There we go. Aaron Gordon, I think is.
• 1:39:02
  Can I even play Michael Porter, Junior L SAP?
• 1:39:10
  I don't think he was doing enough.
• 1:39:12
  I think we got to just go Aaron Gordon here.
• 1:39:15
  I don't think that's going to be enough, though.
• 1:39:18
  Dang. Yeah.
• 1:39:21
  Well, Jesus. Like, that AG can't kind of
• 1:39:23
  killed us. And it was Walt Bellamy.
• 1:39:27
  Walt was averaging more scoring for Washington in the 60s.
• 1:39:32
  That's on me. I I wasn't alive in the 1960s,
• 1:39:38
  so it's tough to remember that far back for me, but but I get
• 1:39:44
  my best. That was a that was a solid
• 1:39:46
  start though 65 and 17. That's nothing to scoff at
• 1:39:49
  there. Alice in the 90s three early on
• 1:39:55
  that we risk going with our Reese been here.
• 1:39:57
  I mean, Adrian Dantley bad Alex English wasn't doing a whole
• 1:40:02
  lot. For Dallas, maybe Michael Finley
• 1:40:07
  see if there's any other names. I mean I just don't daily is a
• 1:40:17
  bit of a risk. Dirk was too too young.
• 1:40:21
  He just didn't do enough in the 90s to be that to contribute
• 1:40:26
  that much for us and there's and there's weren't really a lot of
• 1:40:31
  hot Rod Williams awesome name. We're going to re spin the era.
• 1:40:34
  Hopefully we get Luca. Well, we didn't get the best
• 1:40:40
  Luca, but that's 2010's Luca. Ain't terrible.
• 1:40:44
  We'll we'll take that, have them.
• 1:40:47
  We'll put them in our point guard for now.
• 1:40:48
  We might move them to our shooting guard spot.
• 1:40:52
  Oh, we get Chicago. We'll probably just go Derrick
• 1:40:57
  Rose here. Can I play?
• 1:41:01
  OK, so yeah, we'll just need to move Luca, the shooting guard.
• 1:41:05
  I'll put Derrick Rose as our point guard.
• 1:41:10
  It's solid. I don't know if it's Oh my God,
• 1:41:11
  forget the Chicago again. OK, well, I feel like we're
• 1:41:20
  going to have to go Elton Brand. He's which I don't love, but I
• 1:41:25
  don't know if I want to re spin here.
• 1:41:28
  Yeah, this one's kind of washed already.
• 1:41:29
  We're just we'll throw Brand in there.
• 1:41:32
  I don't think it's happening on this run.
• 1:41:37
  Well, yeah, then look at this. We get the the Nets that we'll
• 1:41:44
  just re spin the 80s. Screw it.
• 1:41:49
  I'm sorry. I'm not.
• 1:41:50
  I don't, I don't really know who to go with.
• 1:41:52
  That's in the 80s. Bernard Chain.
• 1:41:58
  I'll take Bernard Chain, throw them on there.
• 1:42:04
  Boy. Cleveland in the 70s.
• 1:42:05
  I think it is Bob Rule who's the best here.
• 1:42:07
  Yeah. Hammer.
• 1:42:09
  Nate Thurman. Go Bob Rule.
• 1:42:13
  We'll see. Wow.
• 1:42:14
  Oh, this was an abysmal team. What did we?
• 1:42:18
  Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 1:42:20
  No. Oh, my God.
• 1:42:23
  Who? Who was Bob Rule hooping with?
• 1:42:25
  I thought it was Cleveland. Maybe it was.
• 1:42:28
  Maybe it was the the Bulls of the 70s Well that's my bad y'all
• 1:42:33
  not not the best team there 47. I think that's got to be a new
• 1:42:37
  low for this challenge. Hey wait a second is this does
• 1:42:42
  this give us LeBron so just barely make it?
• 1:42:50
  He does not Oh that sucks Well actually this thing this ain't
• 1:42:53
  the worst we take Where's the envoy Dwayne way that throw him
• 1:42:57
  out shooting guard his true position for now we can move him
• 1:43:01
  to point guard if we need it Sacramento in the 80s Danny
• 1:43:13
  Ainge here alrighty Johnson Cliff potentially God this is
• 1:43:25
  tough I'm going to re spend the team.
• 1:43:28
  I feel like we can get a better team in the 80s.
• 1:43:31
  Well, Washington, not much better, but we'll take Bernard
• 1:43:36
  King again. So I just don't think, I just
• 1:43:43
  don't think there's anybody too much better than him there.
• 1:43:46
  Denver in the 2000s, Well, here we go.
• 1:43:48
  We can get mellow, throw him in our power for that's pretty
• 1:43:53
  good. We'll take that.
• 1:43:54
  We will take that. Houston of the 80s.
• 1:44:00
  Hell, you can barely get Hakeem, but I believe Moses was.
• 1:44:07
  Yeah, it was Moses that was better, better averages for
• 1:44:11
  them, the 80s. So we're going to take that 90s.
• 1:44:13
  Hakeem is is dominant now. We need a point guard from
• 1:44:16
  Orlando in the 2000s. Oh, I'm going to be honest with
• 1:44:21
  you, DJ Augustine. I can't beat Alfred Peyton.
• 1:44:31
  This is, you know what we're it's so we're going to if we re
• 1:44:35
  spin the air, are we going to get a better point guard?
• 1:44:39
  We're going to just go for it. Why not?
• 1:44:42
  2000s? Yeah, no, I'm going to say too
• 1:44:45
  much about her. I think it might honestly be
• 1:44:48
  Anthony Black. Oh, is there anybody I'm not
• 1:44:53
  thinking of? Nope.
• 1:44:56
  Yeah, We're going to just go black.
• 1:44:59
  Anthony Black here, I guess. Oh, Oh no, that was the
• 1:45:04
  horrible. It was a horrible pick by me.
• 1:45:07
  Rest of the team was pretty good.
• 1:45:10
  I just can't think of anybody better on Washington than the
• 1:45:13
  arc king. But maybe there's somebody I'm
• 1:45:14
  forgetting. I could have helped us out
• 1:45:16
  there. We we continue on.
• 1:45:19
  Also, if you want to shame me for my ball knowledge and and
• 1:45:23
  tell me, oh, you're an idiot, go with this guy.
• 1:45:26
  Please. Do I you know what?
• 1:45:29
  This challenge has been pretty tough.
• 1:45:31
  Any help would be appreciated from you to your viewers.
• 1:45:35
  This I think we're going to just go Mr. what's his name?
• 1:45:39
  Zion. There another power for there
• 1:45:45
  can't stay healthy. But boy, when he is on the
• 1:45:47
  court, it's it's fun to watch. Damon Stoudamire here.
• 1:45:56
  See, am I forgetting anybody? It's it's feeling.
• 1:46:01
  It's got to be a guard. No, I'm not Roy stardom.
• 1:46:07
  I think it's going to be averaging the most, which is
• 1:46:10
  what, which is what's important for us here.
• 1:46:14
  I love that less champagne. He's not very good, but we could
• 1:46:18
  take a fire on Aldridge. I just don't think the averages
• 1:46:21
  are high enough or we'll re spin the era.
• 1:46:26
  Screw this. Let's try to get the 20
• 1:46:27
  twenties, the 90s instead, OK, I can get Clyde for in the 90s,
• 1:46:38
  can't I? Let's see a Ford.
• 1:46:44
  Can I get there? He is Clyde Drexler.
• 1:46:48
  All right, that worked out a little bit better.
• 1:46:50
  I'll take Clyde Toronto with the 20 twenties.
• 1:46:56
  I think we just got to get all right.
• 1:47:00
  We're going to need to move him over there because I want Kawhi
• 1:47:04
  Leonard Mr. see that qualify for Oh wait, that's right.
• 1:47:13
  He just got back. Oh, OK.
• 1:47:17
  Then this is this is suddenly becomes a lot more interesting.
• 1:47:23
  Man, Toronto, the 20 twenties is kind of bad.
• 1:47:27
  We might just. Yeah, let's let's go for a re
• 1:47:30
  spin here. They haven't really been that
• 1:47:32
  good. Memphis in the 20 twenties.
• 1:47:35
  Well, we'll just go with John Morant.
• 1:47:41
  There he is. Mr. John Morant.
• 1:47:44
  Welcome to the squad. We need a small Ford.
• 1:47:48
  Oh, my God. Washington in the 90s.
• 1:47:50
  You're killing me with this dude.
• 1:47:52
  They're killing me with this Washington crap.
• 1:47:55
  Young Ben Wallace. Oh wait, do Chris Weber as my
• 1:48:04
  center. I don't know, that might be a
• 1:48:05
  bad play, but we'll take him see.
• 1:48:08
  What? Just such a good rebounder.
• 1:48:17
  I can go Jimmy at small 4th I guess.
• 1:48:22
  Oh dude we're getting some pretty terrible spins.
• 1:48:27
  Not like a bad team at all, but just need some like this game
• 1:48:34
  really values high averages. It's it's unfortunate.
• 1:48:39
  Oh Dang, I got really excited because I saw chapter in the 80s
• 1:48:43
  and then it landed on Charlotte. The God damn.
• 1:48:48
  I'm just respecting the team. Please give me the Bulls.
• 1:48:51
  I'm not taking fucking Hornets. Oh, let's go the Sacramento
• 1:48:58
  Kings. This is off to a terrible start.
• 1:49:03
  Who do we go with here? I might be selling the entire
• 1:49:11
  run. You're like, is this the team?
• 1:49:16
  Cliff Robinson's decent? This is going to be, this is all
• 1:49:25
  going to be experimental here, painting the best here.
• 1:49:34
  We're going to experiment. We're going to take Cliff
• 1:49:35
  Robinson. Hopefully I didn't just sell the
• 1:49:38
  run, but I I probably did. Cleveland of the 90s.
• 1:49:43
  Yeah. I mean, just absolutely
• 1:49:44
  atrocious. We'll take Brad Caldery, I
• 1:49:46
  guess. Washington of the 80s.
• 1:49:54
  I mean these are just putrid spins just absolutely file.
• 1:50:01
  Should we take a take a fire I mean where we are experimenting
• 1:50:05
  here Who am I thinking of oh see how muggsy bugs those averages
• 1:50:17
  are probably terrible. This is this is not the run.
• 1:50:21
  Oh my God, we're going to just try to re spin here.
• 1:50:23
  I'd like are you kidding me? What are the spins right now?
• 1:50:31
  Yeah, this is this is not much better.
• 1:50:33
  I I mean can I take him even? What's his name Is there traffic
• 1:50:43
  come? Oh, I cannot think of his name
• 1:50:48
  Got I got cooked by Bruce Brown that one series D Angelo
• 1:50:55
  Russell. There we go.
• 1:50:58
  Is he available now? He's not trying to move you.
• 1:51:01
  I can't oh, Courtney Lee, welcome to the squad.
• 1:51:07
  This is going to be such a bad team Utah and that's why I mean
• 1:51:11
  like it's just absolutely abysmal.
• 1:51:16
  I need a small Ford. I'm just for the the memes.
• 1:51:22
  AK47. Andre Karolinko.
• 1:51:25
  Wow, we barely went over 500 with this one.
• 1:51:28
  Yeah, mugsy bows wasn't good. This this was just an absolutely
• 1:51:33
  horrid team. Come on, wheel.
• 1:51:36
  Come on, Spinner. Give me a little bit better.
• 1:51:40
  I don't hate this. I'll take Adrian Dantley.
• 1:51:45
  That's a little bit better. New York in the 60s, I'm going
• 1:51:52
  to re spin the team. There's some really good teams
• 1:51:55
  you can get in the 60s. We're going to risk it here.
• 1:51:58
  We get Phoenix, which isn't necessarily 1 great teams.
• 1:52:04
  GAIL Goodrich is a beast for them, I know that.
• 1:52:10
  Yeah. We'll go.
• 1:52:10
  GAIL Goodrich. Yeah, no, it's GAIL Goodrich,
• 1:52:14
  not Dick. We'll put GAIL, put them in the
• 1:52:18
  point guard spot for now. Washington in the twenty 20s
• 1:52:28
  Russell Westbrook, actually, where is he at?
• 1:52:32
  He's our OK. I'm going to move GAIL to my
• 1:52:34
  shooting guard. Russ is averaging a triple
• 1:52:37
  double, so we'll take that. 2211 and 11.
• 1:52:42
  He was hooping on on the Miami teams.
• 1:52:45
  We're going to reach for the air.
• 1:52:46
  This is hell of risky to like you get hosed by this, but we
• 1:52:48
  get LeBron James, which is exactly what we were hoping for.
• 1:52:55
  Come here, Mr. LeBron James. All right, I'm not hating this.
• 1:52:58
  This is team shaping up pretty good.
• 1:53:00
  We might have a shot here. We get Phoenix in the 60s again.
• 1:53:06
  We got two options like Jim Fox, I'm pretty sure is the guy.
• 1:53:12
  Oh man, we just got absolutely hosed on that final span.
• 1:53:17
  I think if we could have gotten a really good Sunny, we would
• 1:53:21
  have had a shot. We haven't even Crest seventy
• 1:53:23
  wins. This has been an absolutely
• 1:53:25
  brutal attempt at the 82. Another challenge today.
• 1:53:30
  You're going to. We have days like this, though.
• 1:53:33
  It just doesn't go your way. Milwaukee in the 70s before
• 1:53:37
  Kareem left. He's still there.
• 1:53:40
  There we go. That's great start Boston in the
• 1:53:46
  2000s. Paul, Mr. Paul Pierce.
• 1:53:58
  That's small for I'm liking this start.
• 1:54:01
  Really good start. Can we keep it going?
• 1:54:03
  Cleveland of the 20 tens perfect.
• 1:54:07
  We can get Lebronathan on this squad.
• 1:54:14
  We'll have him play power for it right now.
• 1:54:21
  That's the beauty of him. We can move him around.
• 1:54:24
  We need Dame dollar sign. This is feeling really good.
• 1:54:28
  This could be the one. Let's finish strong here,
• 1:54:33
  Boston. So, all right, this is perfect
• 1:54:36
  because I'm going to move you. Actually, I'll leave you there.
• 1:54:39
  I'm going to move you to our shooting guard and we get Larry
• 1:54:45
  Legend. This is the best.
• 1:54:46
  This has to be it. Oh, you're kidding me.
• 1:54:52
  You're kidding me. Two losses, Joel.
• 1:54:57
  We were going so strong. All this whole run here after
• 1:55:03
  just getting, man, is it Paul? Is Paul the one dragging us
• 1:55:08
  down? There's just really nobody I
• 1:55:12
  guess I could try ray but or KG, but like Paul Pierce's, he's got
• 1:55:18
  the highest. I think he's averaging the most
• 1:55:20
  points per game. The 2000s are kind of rough to
• 1:55:23
  get man 80 and two. I really that felt good.
• 1:55:28
  I cannot believe that didn't we didn't get it there all right,
• 1:55:33
  we got a few more chances here. I'm going to re spin the air.
• 1:55:36
  I just don't want to take the Thunder again, but I think it's
• 1:55:43
  Ray Allen who's averaging the most in this.
• 1:55:49
  Gary Payton. That's Ray.
• 1:55:50
  And we're we're going to go Ray Allen.
• 1:55:53
  The start here. Not nearly as good of a start as
• 1:55:56
  we had last one. Dude, what is up with the
• 1:55:58
  Phoenix Suns? I don't want the Phoenix Suns.
• 1:56:05
  Eddie Johnson. Small Ford give get off of the
• 1:56:11
  Phoenix Suns. Oh, my God, The Thunder and the
• 1:56:17
  Suns. Dude, it's just back end.
• 1:56:22
  Go KD. Where is he at?
• 1:56:28
  Christ. Well, this is a terrible run,
• 1:56:30
  guys. We're just going to block you in
• 1:56:34
  the 80s. Oh, this is after Kareem's gone,
• 1:56:36
  isn't it? Yeah, we'll Reese with the team.
• 1:56:42
  Screw it. I don't like any.
• 1:56:44
  I don't really like that team. Oh, perfect.
• 1:56:46
  Well, oh, my God, dude, I can't even.
• 1:56:52
  I can't even get Michael Jordan. I can't even get Michael Jordan.
• 1:56:58
  Are you kidding me? The key only place.
• 1:57:03
  Oh my God, dude, this is awful. This is awful.
• 1:57:08
  Reggie Thies, welcome aboard big dog.
• 1:57:12
  Can we add that strong on the center Detroit in the 70s.
• 1:57:17
  I think we got Bob Lanier terrible just I mean we did the
• 1:57:24
  best with what we could work with that after going 80 and two
• 1:57:27
  to followed up with that terrible.
• 1:57:31
  This will likely be our final run.
• 1:57:33
  We'll see. We got Detroit of the 90s.
• 1:57:39
  You're here, man. This is we'll go Grant.
• 1:57:46
  I think it's I hope that's not like the Grant Hill.
• 1:57:50
  It's not averaging enough. New York in the 80s.
• 1:57:54
  I could get Ewing here. I think is I can't take Bernard
• 1:58:00
  King. OK.
• 1:58:04
  It's a little like this is after Walt Freezers time.
• 1:58:06
  That's right. All right.
• 1:58:08
  We're probably going to go with Patrick Ewing.
• 1:58:13
  Yeah, we'll just come with Patrick Ewing Center for now.
• 1:58:16
  We can move in the power for it. Potentially.
• 1:58:19
  Watch the twenty 20s. We'll take Russell Westbrook
• 1:58:24
  again. Why not?
• 1:58:29
  Why not Dallas of the 20 tens grab Luca, All right, we need
• 1:58:38
  the power forward here. I'm not feeling super optimistic
• 1:58:42
  about this. Oh my goodness, dude.
• 1:58:53
  I mean, I this I don't even know 70s kings.
• 1:59:01
  This is a tough one. I think it's I'm just guessing
• 1:59:10
  we're going Bill Turner here. I'm not OK now.
• 1:59:15
  It was not Bill Turner there. That wasn't terrible.
• 1:59:18
  I I've sold on that final. I probably should use recent.
• 1:59:21
  All right, we're going to speed three.
• 1:59:22
  Can we got time for one more. This is a run.
• 1:59:26
  OK, wow, way to fake me out and think I was freaking.
• 1:59:32
  What's his name? Michael Jordan.
• 1:59:34
  We'll take Walt Frazier spin again.
• 1:59:39
  Houston of the 80s. I'm going with Elvin Hayes here,
• 1:59:46
  hopefully. And so that might be the wrong
• 1:59:47
  Elvin Hayes. But Miami, the 80s, we spend the
• 1:59:51
  year 2010. Perfect LeBron.
• 2:00:03
  Final final two spins Manchester the 20 tens No, we're give me a
• 2:00:07
  new team. Give me a new team.
• 2:00:10
  So the Kevin Love actually we'll go cat final spin here before we
• 2:00:18
  get off the air. I'm going to city Sunday in the
• 2:00:21
  70s. That's terrible.
• 2:00:23
  Dennis Johnson, 57 and 20. Wow.
• 2:00:27
  Well, we'll get them next week, folks.
• 2:00:29
  Thank you for watching another episode.
• 2:00:30
  Until the final whistle. I'm H she.
• 2:00:33
