  Speaker 4: fix some boxes, and then we got a little leadership
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: meeting with the leaders on our team once a week.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: We just started doing and that's at twelve o'clock. So
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: then I got fourth period football two twenty so let's
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: be great.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: What is the leadership meeting entail? What are you what
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: are you covering for these young men in that situation.
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: So we go throughout the off season, we go we
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: you know, we have teams, we get leaders, they draft
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: their teams and then they compete over about seven weeks,
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: seven or eight weeks. Then during those weeks, every Wednesday,
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: we meet with those leaders and teach them about leadership
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: and what that looks like and post characteristics and how
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: to how to be a great listener, how to serve,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: how to be uh, you know, have humility and and
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: those you know, those things, and ask him how their
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: teams are doing, how the communication is going, are you
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: there for your teammates? You know, those those types of things.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: And then over the course of the off season, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: get roughly about twenty kids that go through this program,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: and you know, hopefully they carry those characteristics and those
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: things that you learned to be a good leader and
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: a good man and a good husband and father one
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: day and and you know, and then hopefully they'll remember it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: We've been talking about the NBA trades that are happening,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and obviously the NBA and the NFL are a little
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: bit different, but it's.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Pro sports where you had Lebron been traded.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yet, No, Lebron has not been traded. He's not going
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: to be traded. Hey, we're there's always a spot on
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the Utah Jazz fan bandwagon for you. We're keeping the
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: seat warm for you since you refuse to support your
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Lakers right now?
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I honestly, do people still watch basketball? Dude?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Don't like? Yeah, the NBA is a lot of fun
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: Actually, I'm being totally honest and candid right now, do
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: do people watch basketball as much as they watch the
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: Pro Bowl?
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Last night? Does anybody know that the Pro Bowl was
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: even happening?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, well I have a question for you about that,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: but we'll just go there right now, so you're not
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: spending the whole conversation hating on the NBA. How do
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you fix the Pro Bowl? A Tuesday night flag football
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: game is embarrassing? Now, I enjoyed. I was lucky enough
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to be invited to some of your participation in the
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, and those are fun weeks and you made
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: it great for all of us. I understand that a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: lot of people like the game itself, is not necessarily
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: the best showcase of All Star tak But what you
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: were doing is a heck of a lot better than
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: what they're doing now. So instead of making you the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: head coach of the Rancho Bernardo Broncos, I put you
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: in the NFL front office, and I say your job
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: is to now fix the Pro Bowl, fix our All
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Star weekend. How do you do it?
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: You get rid of it? It's uh, it's I mean,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: I the fact that you're having the twelfth best player
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: representing the Pro Bowl is is just a mockery at
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: this point, and it really stood for something much more meaningful.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: And you know, we always knew like to be recognized
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: as an All Pro was like the the tip right
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: of the mountain, like that's what you were trying to get.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: But being a Pro Bowl was there was a lot
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: of merit in that and you and you took it
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: when you voted on the players from the players standpoint,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: the coaches, But when the fan aspect got into it
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: and they got a third.
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: Of the vote or more than that, now I don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: even know.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: It just dilutes who really deserves to be in the
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Pro Bowl and the fact that they don't even play,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: and it's a meaningless. It's just it's just embarrassing. If
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I'm being honest, So I would get rid of it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: I'd honor the guys that are real Pro Bowlers, and
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: that's it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Well that's a little anti climactic, but it feels like
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: that might be the direction that the game is headed.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I mean it's if we're not going to
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: play a real game, and if guys are really worried
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: about it, then why worry about getting injured like to
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: play in a game. You know, my first few years
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: in the Pro Bowl, I took it very serious. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: was hitting people, I was tackling like you know, that's
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: just the way it was. And then towards the end
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: it got a little out of character of what the
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: game was. And if the players don't want to play it,
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: but just get rid of it, why are we going
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: to continue to.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: Hold on to something that is just not a good product.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: And nobody, if there's no nobody despises flag football and
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: seven on seven more than myself.
• 6:21
  Speaker 6: So I'm sure a lot of people are in the
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: same boat.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Does that hold true even with coaching, because obviously, you
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: know there's a lot of these seven on seven tournaments,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: these skills competitions that guys, young guys use to get
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: more exposure in the recruiting game, and and whatnot. Do
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: you do you despise the seven on seven for your
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: high school kids?
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Listen any any I'm never gonna tell a kid not
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: to go try to get better at their craft, right
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Like I think, I think there's some merit to the
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: receivers and the quarterback, especially if it's a quarterback or
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: playing with to get timing and you know, throwing in
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: contexted windows. But the whole dynamics of the Step ninety
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: seventh team and these these coaches and programs is stealing
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: money from these kids and acting as if it has
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: any power on getting scholarships and the coaches looking at
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: like it doesn't. And it just creates bad culture. It
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: creates a me type attitude instead of about the team.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: It creates an environment that you usually have to break
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: when your kids come back to high school. And I
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: am so happy that Gage isn't doing it this offseason
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: and he's just working and training and doing things that
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: are actually making better and real football. And I couldn't
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: be more happy about it.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Eric Weddla's our guest here on the Sean O'Connell show
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: talking All things All will turn our focus now to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. I know we touched on it last
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: week when we knew what the matchup was and the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: money and the spread is favoring heavily the Seattle Seahawks team.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: What will the Patriots have to do to pull off
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: an upset here? Like? How can you engineer that against
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a prohibitive favorite going in in the Super Bowl?
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, what is it? Four point four points?
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: Anywhere from five to four? Yeah, they're the underdog, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: that's really like, you know, anything at three or or
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: under an intu site is like a toss up, I guess,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: or that's what people say. Maybe a home deild advantage,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: but there won't be, so I don't know. I think, man,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of distractions going on with
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Seattle right now, with.
• 8:56
  Speaker 7: The coaches and the with QBA Can getting his staff
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: ready and having those conversations behind closed doors and you're
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: kind of wheeling and dealing, you know.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Because we just saw it with Utah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: You know, like those conversations during Bull week. You know
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: who's staying, who's going? Are you coming with me? Are
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: you staying? Like Morgan doesn't know, and then everyone leaves
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: right after the game.
• 9:24
  Speaker 6: So it really is the focus on the super Bowl,
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: like I.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Keep saying it, and I'll say it till I'm booing
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: the face every second that is not focused on the
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: Super Bowl, which these coaches that are taking jobs elsewhere
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: you are thinking about something else, will have an impact.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Now will that impact be enough to sway the game?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping not because for the player's sake, but you
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: gotta think it's gonna have an impact. And so who
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: does that favor? It favors New England. You know they're
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: rock locked and loaded. You know they're gonna be prepared.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: You know they're gonna have every scenario gone over the halftime,
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: the two and a half minutes between every possession, having
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: those timeouts, Like there's just so much time wasted in
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: the Super Bowl that if you don't really have a
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: plan for or I have experience doing it, it could
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: have an impact.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: So now on the.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Field, as as a longer answer, they just have to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: play their styles football, play great defense, take care of
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: the football. When they get their shots in the red zone,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: you gotta score touchdowns. And I know for a fact
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: when it's fourth in a long yard, they'll probably take
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: a field goal and that may be the difference in
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: winning the Super Bowl or not.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: What do you do with Jackson Smith and jigbu If
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the Patriots call Eric Weddle and say, hey, how do
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: we shut this guy down? How do you do it?
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: Well, it's always easier said than done, you know, like, oh,
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: we're just gonna double them every time, and no matter
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: what the call is, and like that's just not reality.
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: Like when you bring I mean to bring six. Therefore,
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: there there is no help available, right, any coverage calls.
• 11:05
  Speaker 6: If you're playing a single high like you're always you're.
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: Always mindful of that, right and so but I will
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: say this, any single high coverage, I'm I'm I'm putting
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: the safety on the hash right, I'm I'm shading to
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: that side to make sure that corner knows that he
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: could play on the low hill and any go balls
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: upside up the sideline, I'm going to be there for him.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: Any two man, any any four or six is we
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: are doubling him in coverage concepts. But when I bring pressure,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you just got to own up to it and and
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: understand I'm making everybody else beat me. Okay, I'm not
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: letting Smith's Jigba catch ten balls for one fifty against us.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I'm making them run the ball and I'm making Cooper
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Cup and these other guys beat me, which I think.
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: I think if I know New England, they're gonna have
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: a great plan for him, and I wouldn't be surprised
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: if they have a hard time getting in the ball
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Is Christian Gonzalez the defensive equal for Jackson Smith and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Jigba's offensive threat?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Well, there's two. There's two things to the two ideas
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: to do you put Gonzales on him and make sure
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: you have your best on their best and live with
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: what happens, or do you put him on second and
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: leave your second corner in the safety over there? And
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: then now you say, hey, we love the idea of
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Gonzales locking down their next best option. We doubled Smith
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: Jigba and now they're going at the number three guys
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: who you know lose their number three. So that's that's
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: just the game within the game. How do you want
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: to play that? Do you only put them on do
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: you do you have that matchup when it's when you're
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: blitzing all right when you know there's no help of it, leble,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: But then the quorrac knows that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 6: So there's so you got to mix and match the coverages.
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: So I don't know, I don't know. That's that's what
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: they got to do, and it'll be interesting to see
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: how they play that out. But he definitely is capable
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: of matching them up and handling that business.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: If you go back to ancient history when you were
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: a corner that the coaches would make that decision about
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: did you want to have it be your job or
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: would you rather do the what you said the second option,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: where let's put two on that guy and I'll lock
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: down the second best because I will I'll make sure
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: number two doesn't get anything today and we'll do two
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: on one against their number one.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I feel like as a competitor, you
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: want you want to go out and be best on
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: best right and and prove yourself, proved yourself and prove
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: that you can handle that job. But if you're thinking
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: about what's best and the best way to win, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: think it may be the other side where this guy
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: that I know I can have my way with and
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: he's not going to get a sniff, like maybe that's
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: the best way. I think, ultimately, whatever in this game,
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: it doesn't matter what I want. It's really whatever, whatever
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: is the best chance to win this game because we
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: may not ever get back here.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: For Sam Donald, we talked about this a little bit
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: last week. For Sam Donald to have been embattled in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: his previous stops and to now be on the precipice
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of a Super Bowl, it comes with a certain amount
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of pressure. Right he got he helped the Vikings improve drastically,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: but then kind of choked when it mattered, and I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: think that's part of the reason why he ended up
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: in Seattle. If he can get this Super Bowl victory,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: are we going to completely change the narrative around him
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: because of how we do things with quarterbacks, or are
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: we going to say, well, he won a super Bowl,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: like you know, Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson won Super Bowl.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: This defense is the reason.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: The deep The defense wasn't the reason they won last week.
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: So they threw three fifty and three tubbies. I think
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: the perception on any quarterback that wins the Super Bowl
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: changes dramatically, regardless of how your career was up until
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: that point. I think if he wins this, and I mean,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: who knows where his career is going to skyrocket from
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: here to be a super Bowl winning quarterback, potentially an
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: MVP of the game. What he's done for this season, Like, yeah,
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: he's had some turnovers, you know, with the fumbles and interceptions,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: but in the playoffs, man, he's been he's been outstanding.
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: And so he'll be the reason when they talk about
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: if they win, he'll be the reason why they won.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: It won't be.
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: He was the road of cotels of a defense trend
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: deip for Like, that's definitely not the case.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: The NFL announced another international expansion game. They're gonna play
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: it for the first time in Paris, and there's a
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: lot of criticism for these games because it takes a
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: home game away from teams and players either hate the
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: travel or they're just kind of like okay with the travel,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: but they don't really love it. And there's the question
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: about safety and things like that with the jet lag
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. Look, Paris is an awesome city if you've
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: never been there, especially, it's cool to say I went there,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: I saw it. Whatever. It's a an enrichment experience. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: imagine for some guys, what are your what's your stance
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: on these international games as they continue to try to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: grow the game.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: Well, the easy answer is, we have no control over it.
• 16:48
  Speaker 6: So they tell us where to play or we're going
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: to play it.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how we feel, what we think injuries,
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: just that and the other They really don't care.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: It's all about money. And then on the other side,
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: I mean.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I really enjoyed the International Games. I think I played
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: in four of them, and to see the fans, to
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: see a different part of the world and how the
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: game has grown, and depending on how the team executes
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: that trip makes a big difference.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Like do they give you time to enjoy the country
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: that you're in?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: Is it safe? Obviously, the travel and this and that
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: is kind of overblown. You get a bed on the
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: right over. They make it like we stayed We usually
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: stayed on the East Coast, so we played in the
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: East Coast, then we stayed there like Sunday to Thursday,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: and then we flew over on Thursday night. So it's
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: not it's really just like a west to East coast
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: type game. And when you go to East coast to overseas.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: So I enjoyed it.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: I thought it was cool, and there's all It's gonna
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: end up being sixteen games at some point. Every every
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: week will be an international game the way it's going.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: All right, give me your super Bowl prediction. Make it
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: as official as you can.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Oh man, I.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: Think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be a
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: close one. I think a field goal at the end
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: wins it. I think it's Seattle's time and I don't
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: see a high scoring affair. Actually, I think it's going
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: to be what's the over under?
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know what the overrunder is. The
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: spread at this moment is what four and a half?
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I gotta believe the overrunner is probably.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: Like forty oh here it is.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And a half forty five.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it's going to be under that. I
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: think it's a twenty to seventeen game. I think it's
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: too good defenses, really good coaches. I think you're gonna
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: have limited possessions and phild well at the end.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Great the Seattle Seahawks winning a super Bowl at the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: forty nine ers Home Stadium. I love that. Wonderful.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: That was just a nice pitcher you get to have
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: of them. Hold hosting the Lombardy in your stadium. I
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: love it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Last last thing before we let you go, we were
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: talking about the NBA trade deadline, some movement around the NBA. Uh,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: what was it like when when you know teammates got
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: traded like how again, larger locker room in the NFL,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: but in the in the NBA and in pro sports,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you are your teammate one day and then you might
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: never play with them again the next day. Yeah.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: I uh, I'm trying to think over the course of
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: my career. I remember young when I was my second
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: year and the Chargers we traded for Chris Chambers and
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: he was a stud receiver, came in and helped us
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: out right away, and I was a young buck. So
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think off the top of my head.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not no outside of that, have no real name
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: in the NFL.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: It's coming to my mind.
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it happened, but it's it's really like when
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: the NBA and these trades happened, it's either one is
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: looking to get younger and looking to get draft picks
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: like the Jazz and then don't do anything with them.
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, how many they got, like fifteen first round
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: picks and have they even used one yet?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: They get sure, Yeah, they gave three away yesterday.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: Who they get or what happened?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, this is out. I love this. We're breaking
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: news to Eric Weddell right now. The Jazz traded four
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: young players and three picks for Jaron Jackson junior from Memphis,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: who was you know, a couple of times All start
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: All Defensive NBA and one time Defensive Player of the
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Year in the NBA. So he'll help them out with
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: their defensive problems ostensibly. So yeah, they they made a
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: move to try to get, you know, an all star
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: caliber player, especially defender, to add to the young core.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Four guys and three draft picks for one player.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, they got they got four guys back, but
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: one that one that really really matters. It's kind of
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: like a bunch of rows.
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: Is he going to be the faith?
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: Is he?
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Is? He?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, he'll be lowry marking and is going to
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: be the face of this team until maybe but he'll
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: be your second best player for now and then they
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: hope that one of the young guys ends up being
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you know, Caante George has had a really great year
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: so far. It's funny, I'm talking to a professional athlete,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: like a super hardcore sports guy who's just out on
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: the NBA right now. And to be fair, this is
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: how a lot of Jazz fans were feeling before that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: trade because they've stunk for so long. So it's kind
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: of a cool thing to see yesterday where they're re
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: engaging the fan base by by taking a swing like this.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean as as a as a
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: fan of sports, not so much Sambia anymore, but you
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: just hope that the team that you follow, the ownership
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: wants to win and they show it each year, right
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: like you got to know, even though I feel like
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: the Rams kind.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: Of maybe missed it at the trade deadline.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: This year, but.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: They've been all in every year, right, And that's that's
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: all you can ask for the fan base. So if
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: the if the Jazz fans up there pumped and I'm
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: pumped too, let's go. Let's go Jazz.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I love hearing it. I always appreciate your time, my friend.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend, enjoy the Super Bowl. We'll talk next.
• 22:53
  Speaker 6: Week you as well, but you as well.
• 22:57
