• 1:04
  Speaker 5: a natty and the carrying on the Eric, like, who
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: do you think who do you think is carrying more
• 1:10
  Speaker 5: weight on both of those things?
• 1:11
  Speaker 6: Uh?
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Well, so I ran the football and I protected this
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: dork to my lefts blindside. Oftentimes you know they sent
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: me to the left to make sure because you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: he wasn't really good at reading blitzes and different things.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: So I don't know.
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: Our radio I would say ninety percent. Jake on the
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: field probably.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: Nine me for sure.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: It's a good question, though, it's a solid question. I
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: get why you asked it, I get what ye.
• 1:43
  Speaker 5: People need to know.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: People really did need to know.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get you know, they probably wouldn't you know,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: if they heard some of the things that we said
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: in the huddle being slappies, they probably wouldn't believe it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: But yeah, we had a good time. Sure, Yeah we
• 1:56
  Speaker 7: carried each other. Yeah, but no one wanted to hear
• 1:59
  Speaker 7: this show without jakept for too long.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Not for too long.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Uh well, I mean we're gonna see all right, we'll
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: see here we go training camp and.
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Jake's gonna be gone like most of training camp.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: I think that's okay. Sorry, I'll be in New Orleans.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be one of the training camps I'll be
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: at and looking forward to that and some of the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: things coming out for the New Orleans Saints is I
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: guess we kind of knew it, but like when you
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: get confirmation and it was like Cam Jordan's got a contract,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Taysom Hill does not like.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: I guess that's no surprise.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: But Nick, I've been talking about this over on NFL
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: radio like a ton It's like, Okay, Cam Jordan had
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: ten and a half sacks and there's a lot of
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: teams out there that could add an Edge Rusher.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: How is he still a free agent?
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Super weird man like, cause I don't even think his
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: ask is incredibly high. I think he's probably looking for
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: a contract that's about what he got paid out last year,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: except you take out the the the bonuses and you
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: just put it in actual writing and that's the contract
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: instead of being six million dollars or whatever it is. Yeah,
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: I don't know, man like, that list of available free
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: agents right now still has some names too, Like, there's
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: some guys out there that are that are lingering. But
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: you would have thought that Kim Got would have got
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: picked up by now. And I would bet that there's
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: a little bit of, Hey, I want to come back,
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: and you know, I'm looking for the offer from the
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: Saints to come back here. I want to finish my
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: career here. But if someone was blowing him away with
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: the with the number, I think it would already be done.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: So yeah, look, I think maybe that that ten and
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: a half, you know, I maybe he just doesn't break
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: down in the same way that that that number usually
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: does when when you look at it. But it's crazy
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: to me that he's still out there. Taste some that
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: that one makes sense. I didn't expect him really to
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: be back. His house is for sale right now, Like
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: I you know, I think all the signs are pointing
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: toward that one being over, and you know, you never
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: closed the door on it. Like I could see maybe
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: if he doesn't get an offer, you know, August first, hey,
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: I'll come back and play for the minimument and you
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: put them in like a goal line type role when
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: Jimmy Graham, Like when Jimmy Graham came back and he
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: only played from like the two yard line in or
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: something like that. I could see value being there, but
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: I don't think they're in a place where they're gonna
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: pay for it. And like, honestly, we were talking about
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: it all last year that that portion of the offense
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: just didn't really feel like it fit in anymore once
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: they started finding their identity. So that one kind of
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: makes sense to me. You know, I would have thought
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: Denver might have swooped him by now Chicago. I've heard Buffalo,
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: I've heard Buffalo Pete Carmichael, Like he really liked playing
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: for Pete, Like people have speculated that could be a spot,
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: but he could also still just retire too. I mean,
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: like that there's been a lot of injuries, a lot
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: of mileage. So yeah, yeah, both of those not a surprise.
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: The thing that surprised me yesterday was, you know, just
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: kind of the way he came out and talked about
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Alvin Kamara. That was a little bit surprising.
• 4:53
  Speaker 7: H Nick, Let's go back to Camp Jordan. You said
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: you kind of alluded to it there, and I'm wondering
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: if you know, not all sacked is the same, right,
• 5:02
  Speaker 7: there's some sacks that are ultra impressive. There's some sacks
• 5:05
  Speaker 7: that are you know, kind of oh look what I found.
• 5:07
  Speaker 7: I found a quarterback in my lap whatever. He gets
• 5:09
  Speaker 7: ten and a half sex by Cam Jordan. Like you've
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: watched the film, probably most than or more than most,
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: Like there's a stats portion of the thing and there's
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: a level of play. Do you see the level of
• 5:21
  Speaker 7: play that's still there as a Cam Jordan's passed. I know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: you get like things fall off and there's things that
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: might be a little slower and quicker, but tendn't have
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: sex is not a flute. Now, every single one of
• 5:31
  Speaker 7: those might not have been like the most impressive like
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: spin move or rip and dip or whatever it was,
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: but like breakdown his just level of play that you've
• 5:40
  Speaker 7: seen from him last year.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, like the pressure rates and not maybe aren't normally
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: like exactly what you would see from Tyle. Like what
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Cam would have had in twenty fourteen is a ten
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: and a half sack season. Isn't what it looks like
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: in you know, twenty twenty five obviously, But I think
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: he does a good job of taking advantage of his situations.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: You know, I think esthetically, when you look at it,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: it probably plays more like a six sack looking season,
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: and you know, there's some opportunities that are taking advantage of.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: But that's also being older and wiser and smarter and
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: instinctive and making things happen in ways that maybe he
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: wouldn't of in twenty fourteen by by just being able
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: to read the field and no tendencies and just seeing
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: a whole lot of football. So man, like the value there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: I would easily pay him and bring him back. I
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: think you're just a better team with him, I don't,
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: you know. My understanding of what that is and what
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: he's asking for is actually what it is and what
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: he's asking for, I just pay it, Like, I think
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: they are a better team with them than without him.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: It's interesting though, like they've built this thing out to
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: a point where it's kind of hard to see where
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: everybody gets snaps, Like if you bring Cam back and
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: you put him with Chase Young and Carl Granderson and
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: you know, Tyree Wilson and Jennings, like who isn't playing
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: that you have just added to your team, Because if
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: you bring Cam back, you're taking one of those guys
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: off the field, and you picked one of them. It's
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: it's gonna be fascinating to me to see. I still
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: think he ends up coming back, Like I feel like
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: if that offer was out there, he'd take it. But
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: it could get to a point where he just says,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: you know what, if these people, I'll take the same
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: amount of money or less and go somewhere else because
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: now I feel disrespected.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: But how far away do you think they are?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Like if you had like and I know you got
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: an idea, but like, is it a is it a
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: large gap? Is it a small gap? Like do you
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: think both sides kind of need to give in a
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: little bit.
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: I would guess it's probably like within four million bucks
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: something like that. I would guess the Saints or at
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: six and Cams at ten. You know some something in
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: that range, give or take a little bit, doesn't you
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: know when it's forty percent, you know, that's a difference,
• 7:44
  Speaker 5: that's a that's a big difference. But I would easily
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: pay Cam. I don't know, like meet in the medal,
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: like if you're at six out of ten, like why
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: can't you get to eight point five? And you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: maybe you do a million and a half in incentives
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: instead of four million dollars in incentives, and you know
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: that there has to be a compromising like that isn't
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: a golf of difference there, you know, And I know
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: Cam just it's probably not even about the money, So
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: it's probably about what it represents at this point, Like, hey, look,
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: I've been here forever. I took a pay cut last year.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: I turned this money into a signups ironed it back.
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: So I took care of you last year. I you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: kind of shoved it in your face like now you've
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: got to take care of me the right way. Like
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: I totally get the point of view, you know. I
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: I just hope he gets to end it here, like
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: that's a story that that started here, it should finish here.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: He's as synonymous with a franchise as anybody, and he
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: had a ton and a half sacks. Like it's not
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: like doing it right, It's not like you're doing a
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: sentimental yeah, like just I don't know, pay him figure
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: it out.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: I'm right there with you.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: And I mean again, I think there's some teams that
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: like edge rushers and receivers.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: You still have some.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Guys that were productive a year ago that are still
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: out there on the open market. So it's not like
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Cam's the only one out there, but I am surprised
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: that he is out there. And you know, we kind
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: of go to the team teams that have Saints ties
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: and like like for me, like Dennis Allen being in Chicago,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: like all these guys are like an option to go there.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Sean Payton and his history all over an option to
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: go to Denver. I mean, Sean has shown he will
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: take a former Saint and add them to Denver. Like
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm as surprised that one of those teams
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: haven't made the move to bring in Camp.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Me too, I thought I would have got dumb by now,
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: like someone you just I don't know, like who he is,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: who he is in the locker room, all that stuff,
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: like you did have just figured it got it would
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: have got dumb by now. I do think there's probably
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: an element of like him waiting. I like, I would
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: assume there's some type of market there. There has to
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: be some type of market there. I assume some of
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: it's him trying to to wait and see what it is.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: I doubt anyone's offered him enough to like jump out
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: and leave. And I also think, you know, it's weird
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: because a lot of guys like to skip OTAs once
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: they get to a certain point in their career, skip
• 9:50
  Speaker 5: mini camp, right, Like that's the guy that actually loves practice,
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: Like he's missed like four practices his whole career, Like
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: you know, so like I don't even think it's a
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: well I'm gonna wait and just take a long vaca.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: I think Cam actually enjoys the process and some people
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: fake that. I don't think he's the guy that fakes it,
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: Like you can't go out there and it's ninety eight
• 10:07
  Speaker 5: degrees and be like dancing when you're thirty five years
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: old and be eager, like at a certain point that
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: melts away under that metterie sun and like it just
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: never has for him.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: You kind of mentioned the.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: Like what was said recently about Alec Kamara, Like how
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: do you see that whole thing playing out this year
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: with mister Alvin Kamara.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: That was the most shocking thing yesterday to me is
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: that like Loomis came out and said that they haven't
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: made offers to him, they haven't really talked about his situation,
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: and there's a financial aspect of it that that has
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: to be figured out, which you know it there's a
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: lot of speculating about what's going on, like he just announced,
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: you know, like there's no more respect, Like he's letting
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: people know like it's May nineteenth now, and nobody's talked
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: to him about his contract, Like where's at but they
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: but they've decided they aren't going to pay him, but
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: they haven't started negotiating. Very weird situation. Like usually a
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: guy that's you know, that far into his career that
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: is the franchise leader and you know all the important
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: Russian categories. Usually these things get figured out in February
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: and then you get the post June first cut or whatever,
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: and you know that's kind of the hey, look, we
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: can't afford to pay you but like, we're gonna let
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: you go out and figure it out. All of this
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: has been incredibly weird, from the way that they restructured
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: his contract with that obscure role to where they didn't
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: have to guarantee that money, you know, that kind of
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: put a will open the offers, you know, ring around
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: his neck kind of like hey, look we're open to
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: anything here, and then him announcing this is just it
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: just strikes me as very odd, Like it's just a
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: very odd way to handle a situation like this. Guys
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: get cut all the time for you know, financial reasons,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: but the way this is playing out feels incredibly, incredibly
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: different to me than we've seen these things play out
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: other times. Maybe he ends up back, but I mean,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: I think it's very clear that they're at least okay
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: with the possibility of him not being part of this team,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: because if it was a priority to figure out a
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: pay cut and everything, you would have started talking about
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: it at some point and it wouldn't just be lingering
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: and you wouldn't just be leaving a guy in limbo.
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: So they're very clearly telling us I think like, however
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: this plays out, we're okay with it, and look all
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: their actions to like they signed a running back to
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: a big deal. You know, it's only weird if you
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: look at it to the lens of like, oh my god,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: how could they let him go? But they're very clearly
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: not looking at it that way. I think they'd be
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: fine having them back, but I don't think they're operating
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: as if they have to have them back.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: You know, it is, you know, a new time in
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: New Orleans. You got a new coaching staff there. But
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: like you're starting to see like, if there's no Cam Jordan,
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: if there's no Ak, there's no Taysom Hill. Like you're
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: kind of seeing the last remnants of what Sean Payton
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: and Drew Brees and that whole regime kind of built.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: And it feels like these are the final days of
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that great run that the Saints had and it's about
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: to completely be something brand new.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: If Ak isn't on this team and they don't re
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: sign Camera tayst from, the last remaining guy with the
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: link to Drew Brees or Sean Payton would be long
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: snappers Akwood, which is just kind of crazy to think about.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which long snappers are people too? Yeah? Yes, usually
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: farmer fullbacks, our tight ends. You're right, you are right
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: All right. There he is our guy, Nick Underhill, New
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Orleans stuff football, good enough to join us here on
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: OTV every single Tuesday morning at nine am.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Nick.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: We always appreciate the time, brother.
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, more than ten percent, man, I'm giving you more
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: credit than ten percent. Man, got to stop talking about
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: yourself like that.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: I'll take fifteen. I appreciate that. Nick. Let's let's don't
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: get agreed. Just here.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: We appreciating it, all right, guys, take it easy too.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: That was nice though he was lying, but it was
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: very nice.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Though.
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: That was nice.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: I mean sometimes got a white lie. Yeah we did there.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: It is gonna be odd to think about the Saints.
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: If it is no Cam, no Ak, no Taysom.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: It's not even the Saints anymore full rebuilding.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's it's the end of the Paidon era, like
• 14:15
  Speaker 9: for good. Oh yeah, true, that's it. Those are the
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: hold those are the three holdovers.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: And look for you know, for Taysom, like Taysom is
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: like always done whatever you've asked him to do.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: And he's he's he's gonna have a fantasy game.
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have one of those games where he has
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: like forty five Fantasy points and but like I get it,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: like you're moving in a different direction with the offense
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: and then with ak kind of same thing as running back.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: When you get to thirty, you're basically eighty in the NFL.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: But Cam was productive last year. So of those three players,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: it does feel like Cam Jordan has the best.
• 14:46
  Speaker 7: I was kind of wondering from Nick's point of view, Yeah,
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: you can be productive on the stats, but do you
• 14:51
  Speaker 7: fit within the office, how do you fit within the
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: defense of the offense?
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: And how well did you actually play?
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: I mean, you know, we've you saw those guys that
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: we're on teams or in the NFL that would have
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: like a three sack game and you're like that guy, Yeah,
• 15:05
  Speaker 7: that guy had three sacks in a football game, right,
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: like in the NFL. But like Cam Jordan's obviously doesn't
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: fall into that category. But did he have his fastball
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: last year even though he had the sacks?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: Was there? You know? Was it a little bit inflated?
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: And no, that that's the answer the question.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: And I I, you know, I stand with, like what
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: exactly what he's trying to do? I took a pay
• 15:28
  Speaker 7: cut last year, I've been like the model citizen, and
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: this team.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Is in the field, off the field, in the community,
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: all those things.
• 15:36
  Speaker 7: This one makes too much sense not to do. I
• 15:39
  Speaker 7: don't understand the Kamara stuff either, but the Cam Jordan
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: thing just makes too much sense. Just keep it simple.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: And again, like the important thing to point out here,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: this is not a sympathy play. It's just not because
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: of what he did last year. What he can do
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: for you still in the locker room too, Like that's
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: the added bonus. Ten and a half sex is ten
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: and a half sex. I don't care how you got him.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: I don't care if it was Michael Strahan and Brett
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: fav and he fell down.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I really just don't care.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: Ten and a half in the NFL is ten and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: a half.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: He got care a little bit.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that was kind of bush leag, but
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean. He led your team like
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Chase Young, who were all excited about had ten. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: had ten and a half. Give him two more million dollars.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: You've got look for the first time since Jesus was
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a boy, You've got the cap space to do so.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Right now you have eight point two million in cap space.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Make it, make it work, figure it out, do it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Anything is too extra million for your leader, Yeah, don't trade.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Don't trade for a guy that was a top seven
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: pick that's not Cam Jordan and I try to think
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: that that's going to be the same.
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: So and the other thing about it is like it's
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: too like meet in the middle. It's two extra million
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: dollars for your leader after you've all you've lost Maria Davis,
• 16:57
  Speaker 7: your other leader.
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: Like that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: The young guys there need something, yeah, like some sort
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: of pillar, like a veteran pillar.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: And look, I understand you in the chat they're saying
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: like the market's just not there. He's finding that out.
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying. But you also have to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: go take a look. If you're gonna say, if that's
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: gonna be your argument, you gotta go take a look
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: at the totality of the edge rushers that are still available.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: There's multiple guys that had nine eight, eight and a
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: half sacks last year that are still on the market.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: So for whatever reason, there's receivers and there's edge rushers
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: that were very productive a year ago that are still
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: on the market, like Clowney had sacks last year.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Von Miller. I think vonn had nine last year.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: Joey Bosa is still on the open market, Leonard Floyd
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: still on the open market. Like cal Van Neid didn't
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: have the big year last year. I think he only
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: had two and a half last year, but you go
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: back and he was double digit the year before.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: So like typically.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Those guys in the middle of may have already signed
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: veteran guys who have you know, had some really good
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: seasons in the last two years or so, good locker
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: room guys, and they're all available right now. So for
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: whatever reason, there just hasn't been a run on edge
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: rushers and maybe they're waiting to see maybe it's post
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: June one, maybe it's in training camp. We'll sign a
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: guy when somebody gets hurt. But there's guys that were
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: productive last year, not just big names, that are still available.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: So interesting, and I don't know why.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: I guess everybody's just in wait and see mode, right
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: like wait and see how young guys are going to look,
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: wait and see where the injuries occur. That doesn't make
• 18:38
  Speaker 7: sense because if there's edge rushers that are productive in
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: the NFL, they usually have a roster spot somewhere yep,
• 18:47
  Speaker 7: So I don't know, it doesn't make any sense.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: All right, we will take a break.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: I always appreciate Nick for joining us more OTB when
• 18:56

• 20:51
  Speaker 3: have Radio Magic.

  Speaker 4: Ah, that's a short commercial.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: I mean you carry fifteen percent of this show.
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: Not only that.
• 20:57
  Speaker 9: You pick the rejoint and you're like, you guys, listen
• 20:59
  Speaker 9: to it. I don't want to hear it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Rush.
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: It's called Russian Seattle and Lacy and we were that's awesome.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, but so you saw Rush. I said, Gordy, that's
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: Gordy's last name. You probably don't even know that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: Knowing you.
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: Probably there's like, who's going.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: You're talking about Guaranty. Yes, yes, we are.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: The VP of Guarany.
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Actually yeah, that is actually it. Anyway, it's a great concert.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Linge tte l s U Basketball is listening to the show. Obviously,
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: we've got another new player who's also got ties to
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the NBA, not.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: A euro League, guy league.
• 21:56
  Speaker 12: R J.
• 21:57
  Speaker 10: Lewis.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: It was the biggest player of the year a couple
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: of years. Yeah, twenty five, John's five.
• 22:03
  Speaker 11: That was when they were the two seed five.
• 22:06
  Speaker 9: Yeah, okay, ap big eiast player of the year eighteen
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: points a game.
• 22:12
  Speaker 10: Is he eligible? Unsure?
• 22:13
  Speaker 11: So that's that's that's the problem.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Really, we're gonna love this American.
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: This according to Johnny Sports a big right up on him.
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: He signed a two way contract in twenty twenty five,
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: appeared in the with the Jazz before being traded to
• 22:29
  Speaker 9: the Celtics, played in the G League, has never played
• 22:34
  Speaker 9: in an NBA game.
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: As far as this article says, he.
• 22:38
  Speaker 9: Is not currently eligible to play at the college level.
• 22:42
  Speaker 9: According to Pete Knakas Lewis or Luis how you say it,
• 22:46
  Speaker 9: is not currently considered eligible to play at the college level,
• 22:49
  Speaker 9: but will likely file a lawsuit and attempt to receive eligibility.
• 22:55
  Speaker 9: It mentions that multiple former professional players had done this.
• 22:58
  Speaker 9: Charles Mediaka last year Alabama filed this temporary in junction.
• 23:02
  Speaker 11: He was able to play. However, remember that was overturned
• 23:06
  Speaker 11: pretty quickly.
• 23:06
  Speaker 9: He only appeared in five games last year for Alabama
• 23:09
  Speaker 9: before later being ruled ineligible. So you might have a guy,
• 23:14
  Speaker 9: you might not have a guy. We'll see what happens
• 23:17
  Speaker 9: if he does ultimately follow the lawsuit. Like Pete Nkill suggests,
• 23:20
  Speaker 9: all right, okay.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: I mean the obvious. If it works out in LSU's favor,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: he's a dog.
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: Yeah, great player.
• 23:28
  Speaker 8: Well but again, just like very unconventional way of recruiting
• 23:32
  Speaker 8: in the off season.
• 23:33
  Speaker 7: Well like when this happened with Alabama, we made fun
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: of them a lot.
• 23:37
  Speaker 10: Yes, and yeah we don't. We didn't mean it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: We didn't really mean it.
• 23:42
  Speaker 10: It's fine when LSU does.
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: Remember when we said he shouldn't be allowed to play,
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: We didn't.
• 23:46
  Speaker 11: We were joking.
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: We were so joking.
• 23:48
  Speaker 10: Like I think Bettioca should be allowed to play in rj.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Luis absolutely, it's so fun.
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: So like apparently the first equld Orient to be in
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: the NBA.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: So did Like, oh, okay, all.
• 24:04
  Speaker 10: Right, Chris Marler sent me that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: So the fact that you went on air with that
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: bold problematic bold.
• 24:13
  Speaker 9: So not only did he not play in an NBA game,
• 24:15
  Speaker 9: I mentioned he signed that G League contract he didn't
• 24:17
  Speaker 9: play in a G League game either.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, so he signed a two way.
• 24:21
  Speaker 9: Deal with the Jazz, which traded to the Celtics. Never
• 24:23
  Speaker 9: played in any NBA or G League.
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: Game, okay, but every two weeks he received a check
• 24:30
  Speaker 7: he did with his name, which from that professional basket.
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: Which should be the most important aspect.
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: Of this that like, I didn't I didn't dribble during it. Yeah,
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: it doesn't really make it.
• 24:41
  Speaker 9: That just seems to be a common trend where it's
• 24:43
  Speaker 9: like you read, oh, this guy was drafted, but they
• 24:46
  Speaker 9: only played in the G League like that, that seems
• 24:48
  Speaker 9: to be a common trend.
• 24:48
  Speaker 11: On he's got returning to college.
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: I'll raise my concern again on this, uh conventional recruiting
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: only because like we just they may or may not
• 24:58
  Speaker 8: be able to play like we. He may or may
• 25:00
  Speaker 8: not figure out a way for these people to play,
• 25:02
  Speaker 8: like we don't know if he's eligible or not. Does
• 25:07
  Speaker 8: Will Wade maybe have a loophole in his back pocket?
• 25:10
  Speaker 10: More than likely we know that.
• 25:13
  Speaker 8: But it's just like I am going to again raise
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: my a little bit of concern for it.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: You know how Like when Lane Kiffen was tweeting sounding
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the alarm, but what I mean, so silence, it's a
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: soft alarm, right, Uh.
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: When like Lane Cliffin was tweeting at like Dez Bryant saying, hey,
• 25:29
  Speaker 7: you want to file in the junction and come play
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: for us? He was joking kind of right, but also serious.
• 25:36
  Speaker 10: Yeah, so oh, Will was like, if Desk can.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: Do it, Desk can do it. Yeah, G League gay
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: could do it.
• 25:41
  Speaker 9: Probably for what it's worth, this article mentions Texas A
• 25:46
  Speaker 9: and M has already done this this spring, so they
• 25:49
  Speaker 9: signed G League guard Bryce and Warren.
• 25:52
  Speaker 11: He actually never went to college.
• 25:53
  Speaker 9: He skipped entirely to play for Overtime Elite and then
• 25:57
  Speaker 9: ultimately get to.
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: The G League. Played for the wind Chat Nicks.
• 26:01
  Speaker 9: Actually averaging nineteen point eight, so pretty good before committing
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: to the Aggies earlier this spring.
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: So but I feel like that's different though, because he
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: never actually went to college. So I think for that
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: you can make an argument that you have college eligibility.
• 26:13
  Speaker 10: But R J. Luis went to college.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, so like he averaged that's totally like valid
• 26:21
  Speaker 9: the average nineteen in the G League. Yeah, but Luis
• 26:24
  Speaker 9: is probably gonna argue only played three years of college.
• 26:26
  Speaker 9: So I've still got a year. I guess it's like
• 26:28
  Speaker 9: there's so many loopholes on this thing. But just because
• 26:31
  Speaker 9: I would think that too about well, he never played college.
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: If you ever get like the most important part, they
• 26:38
  Speaker 7: were professional basketball players.
• 26:39
  Speaker 11: Right, that should be the only thing that matters.
• 26:41
  Speaker 7: That should be the only It doesn't matter, It doesn't
• 26:44
  Speaker 7: matter if he never played agreed.
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here like that
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: that I feel like the NC Double A or the
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: player whoever could maybe make an argument for that because
• 26:55
  Speaker 8: he never was in college.
• 26:56
  Speaker 7: So what we're doing now was the butt of everybody's
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: joke at Alabama. Now we're comparing and we're saying it's
• 27:01
  Speaker 7: okay because Texas A and M has done it too.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: Now that we put it that way, I don't even
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: know if this is gonna be.
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: Like something that right, That's what I'm saying.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: That's why I'm raising the little concern flag a little
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: bit because of the triumph.
• 27:17
  Speaker 10: Because we're like, oh, we were we fielded a team.
• 27:20
  Speaker 10: We can practice now, but can they?
• 27:22
  Speaker 9: So I'm looking, I'm trying to find eligibility for Bryce
• 27:27
  Speaker 9: and Warren to see if he's been deemed eligible or ineligible.
• 27:31
  Speaker 10: Did y'all shout out to Avoca.
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: I meant to bring this up earlier, but he brought
• 27:36
  Speaker 8: it up just now that Soresby also filed a lawsuit
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: yesterday for eligibility.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: And just like he was betting on like her career.
• 27:46
  Speaker 9: They can't, they cannot let they cannot pass.
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: What's sick is that we were joking.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Gambling if you're betting on the Nathan's hot dog eating context.
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: Something about this makes me so sad.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a guarantee.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: I understand that all these and it's not even.
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: All these courtroom warriors are gonna be like, oh we
• 28:09
  Speaker 9: gotta I just wish they might stay out of college athletics,
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: Like why do you care so much that are like,
• 28:14
  Speaker 9: we're gonna we're gonna deem in eligible. We're gonna rule
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: everything against the n c a A. You cannot let
• 28:19
  Speaker 9: Brendan Sores be playing.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: You can't.
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: He just needs to get the supplemental draft.
• 28:23
  Speaker 9: Yes, there was all. A report came in a couple
• 28:25
  Speaker 9: of days ago. There four teams that were like, oh,
• 28:28
  Speaker 9: they'd be interested in sowreds. You cannot let Brendan sores
• 28:31
  Speaker 9: be be eligible. That's that's a dangerous precedent for everybody
• 28:35
  Speaker 9: else that it's like, oh, well maybe he didn't bet
• 28:37
  Speaker 9: on this and this, that doesn't mean somebody else did.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: Like he cannot he can't play collegeable playing.
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: You can't. You can't let it.
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: It's pretty it's black and white. But I would also
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: say it with these basketball players, you can't let him
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: play if they're professional. Like even the kid that went
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: straight from high school, you made a decision, it didn't
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: work out. You can't just go back try again.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Did you ever think, like when we were if.
• 29:04
  Speaker 7: You were, if you're a bad professional athlete, you can't
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: just go back to college.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: They think about think about the meetings we used to have,
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: like when we first got you know, back for training camp,
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: and we'd have betting meetings, we'd have agent meetings, we'd
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: have you know, blah blah blah, all these meetings that
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: we would have, Like did you ever think that we
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: would be here talking about guys that got drafted into
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: the NBA coming back and no playing in college?
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: Like you there's a decision to be made out of
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: high school and it's an important one.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: Like you could get you couldn't even give your tickets
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: to the game to non family members. Yeah, like you
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: had to have Like you couldn't just give them like
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: to friends, you could give them to like people you
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: grew up with, Like you had to say how they
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: were related to you, like when you remember that when.
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: You put in your ticket request.
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: It's crazy here we are now, and like, look like
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: if you are being a professional athlete is hard, could
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: be really really good and you got to be really
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: really lucky at times. You can't be a bad or
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: a failed professional athlete and do the side that I'm
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: just going to go back and play college. Yeah, that's
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: Like, Okay, we were talking yesterday when you weren't hear
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: Matt about who can LSU Baseball get back?
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: Who could they not?
• 30:15
  Speaker 9: Like what happens to one of these guys, whoever it
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: may be, decides to go pro right, gets up there, struggles,
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: they get in, demote it all the way down to
• 30:21
  Speaker 9: single A, and after a year they're like, you know what,
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: I wasn't ready, I'm just gonna go back to ol shoe.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Right. It's like the senior in high school playing on JV. Oh, wow,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: you know who you are? You know who you are.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not. My college didn't start me as a freshman.
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go back to high school.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: We got a question. I think this one's for you, Matthew.
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: What if you come back to college and play a
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: different sport?
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: We see that, but yeah, we've seen that.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that mark if you if you have actual eligibility, sinky,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: you can't play four years.
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: Of football, then go play four years of baseball. But
• 30:56
  Speaker 7: like you have eligibility, I.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: Think it didn't tend to I play for the Chargers
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: of Falcons. I forget what you seem. He was within
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: run track at Iowa at the same time.
• 31:06
  Speaker 9: Well, then we just had Zach von Rosenberg here a
• 31:09
  Speaker 9: few years ago. Yeah, so I mean it that that's
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: done a lot the same sports.
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: A little bit of a stretch though, Yeah, yeah, different
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: different conversations.
• 31:20
  Speaker 7: Think about Michael Jordan, instead of going to play for
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: the White Sox, he went back and played for North
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: Carolina baseball, Right, That's what we're kind of talking about.
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: It's it's almost like if you're a professional athlete at anything,
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: you lose your amateurism.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: But I guess it's not amateur.
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: But again, though, like we've seen it, like not saying it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: I think different sports are different conversation. Yeah, same sport
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: is that one's tough.
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: But like also how long do you have to be
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: out too? Like does that matter?
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: Like for example, what if a guy is like a
• 31:55
  Speaker 9: duke player, like a one and done right, goes to
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: the NBA, he's an All Star for two years and
• 31:59
  Speaker 9: he's like, it's still got three years of college eligibility left,
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: let me go back.
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: So I think since I think the loophole, if I
• 32:08
  Speaker 8: had to just guess what the loophole is, if you
• 32:12
  Speaker 8: sign like a two way contract, which r J leuis did,
• 32:16
  Speaker 8: you didn't technically sign like an NBA contract, You signed
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: like a G league two way one. So I think
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: the argument there would be that he wasn't like in
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: the NBA, and the NBA is different from like being
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: in the G league, right, So I think that's what
• 32:33
  Speaker 8: they're trying to maybe do because I'm looking it up,
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: like are there any sort of loopholes for this?
• 32:38
  Speaker 10: And that's the only one that I could kind of.
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: So it's a G league, it's it's not professional basketball.
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: It should because so it used to be in the
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: D League and stood for developmental but like to her point,
• 32:50
  Speaker 9: like if you go look at any of these guys
• 32:52
  Speaker 9: that went in to the common denominator is always they
• 32:54
  Speaker 9: played the G League. They played in the G League,
• 32:56
  Speaker 9: they play, so it's like they're shooting their shot. It
• 32:57
  Speaker 9: there's gonna be something to that.
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: You go to the G League. I mean, you're shooting
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: your shot at professional sports.
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: Like that's yeah, it's I don't I don't see how
• 33:09
  Speaker 9: the G league's different than minor league baseball.
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: Because you're affiliated.
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, like Bryce and Warren who I just mentioned from
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: Texas A and m they're like, yeah, last year he
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: played for the uh Westchester Nicks.
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: Like, gee, I wonder you're affiliated with.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: Nets obviously m hm.
• 33:30
  Speaker 8: Also, the n C Double A keeps losing like every
• 33:32
  Speaker 8: court case that they get, so.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: M all right, we're long for a break. We gotta
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: take one. Go Tigers, we gotta take the break.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: It's I mean, it's not something we ever thought we
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: would certainly see. But like and the last time it
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: it didn't, it didn't work out and got ruled ineligible.
• 33:56

• 36:19
  Speaker 7: I do writing all caps, and it's like a yeah.
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: It kind of like when you like Spanglish. It's like
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: combo language. People like I do a combination between all
• 36:27
  Speaker 7: caps and cursive. Yeah, makes sense to me.
• 36:32
  Speaker 8: I had to cut the Spanglish out of my vocabulary
• 36:34
  Speaker 8: when I moved here.
• 36:36
  Speaker 7: It's like a number one like thing to say. It's
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: like in Spanglish. That was hard to cut out.
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: I don't know, because it's like one of those things
• 36:48
  Speaker 8: where like my mom, she didn't speak English when I
• 36:52
  Speaker 8: was growing up, so I would have to like kind
• 36:54
  Speaker 8: of drift in and out. So it was just kind
• 36:55
  Speaker 8: of like, uh, I just whatever came out in Spanish
• 37:00
  Speaker 8: came out in Spanish, whatever came out in English came
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: out in English. Respect Sometimes I would answer her in
• 37:06
  Speaker 8: English and she would understand what I'm saying.
• 37:09
  Speaker 10: She just wouldn't like respond in English.
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: Good question about easy in the in the chat? Do
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: you think Lebron can come play?
• 37:19
  Speaker 10: That's a great questions.
• 37:20
  Speaker 11: Four years of eligibility.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: I think you go to Ohio. Stage's kind of a
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: buck eye. Yeah, but you know what a great question.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Though I heard they need never played college basketball.
• 37:30
  Speaker 10: You know who didn't either, Wimby.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: It's true.
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's fair that I got a lot
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: of connection to France culture.
• 37:39
  Speaker 7: I really don't. I don't think it's fair that only
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: the bad pros can come.
• 37:42
  Speaker 9: Play, right about the good pros? This is like all
• 37:47
  Speaker 9: these European players are getting signed. If I'm a college
• 37:49
  Speaker 9: of basketball coach, I'm calling Wimby and Luca and being like, hey, guys,
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: team up.
• 37:53
  Speaker 10: Yeah, did Castle play all four years? We can get
• 37:57
  Speaker 10: Castle too?
• 37:59
  Speaker 5: He might.
• 37:59
  Speaker 11: I don't think keep playing all four years.
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: I think Tyris Thomas can come back. He's got a couple,
• 38:05
  Speaker 7: he's got three years.
• 38:08
  Speaker 8: You know what, go get Javonte again, give him another
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: strong ass offer.
• 38:15
  Speaker 14: No, Castle only played one years. A three year guy
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: coming in. This is a bad pro and amateur.
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: No, I don't care if will Wade recruits thirty year
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: old Martians. How about not being the worst damn team
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: in the conference next year? I think we're all on
• 38:34
  Speaker 8: the same page. We're just like wondering if it's possible.
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: We're just pointing out that we did make fun of
• 38:41
  Speaker 7: Alabama pretty hard.
• 38:42
  Speaker 10: We did.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: We're doing the same thing.
• 38:46
  Speaker 8: But also, like I'm just questioning, are we going to
• 38:50
  Speaker 8: win these lawsuits? That's that's what I am wondering.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: I don't know, guys, we're just yelling at the clouds right.
• 39:00
  Speaker 8: This time.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Do you know you want to know like what your
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: chance to start to win them? Because if you're banking
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: on these players being a bulkier team, like you do
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: need to know that.
• 39:07
  Speaker 10: No, exactly.
• 39:08
  Speaker 11: Yeah, that's what I feel like.
• 39:09
  Speaker 9: I feel like you put some feelers out there before
• 39:11
  Speaker 9: you sign them. Yeah, but again, Bettiaco was eligible, played
• 39:16
  Speaker 9: five games and then ruled ineligible.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they have to four for those games.
• 39:20
  Speaker 9: No, No, he just wasn't loved to play. He wasn't
• 39:23
  Speaker 9: that good either, So I think they I think they
• 39:25
  Speaker 9: went like three and two.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: That's a bench if I'm not yeah, I mean so,
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: all right, while you're pondering that, one reminds you about
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: our friends overt jen Gators. For most backup generators, the
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: engines made by one company, the alternator by another, the
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: controls by somebody else. So when something fails, good luck
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: figuring out who to call. A color generator installed by
