  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast show, the longest
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: running weekly Philly sports podcast show in the world, thirteen
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: years strong. Got a great show coming your way this week.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm Jeff Warren as always, and I'm here with my
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: good buddy Eric Leonard. If you're watching on YouTube YouTube
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: better known as Edgecombe Stan my friend.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: How you doing, buddy, I'm good. What do we have
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to talk about?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, Uh, there was a lot of crap
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: this past a couple of weeks in the world of
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Philly sport.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Not too much on the field of the court for
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the ice, but.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: A weird period right now.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we're we're of course going to get into the
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Sixers right off the bat, and just to let folks know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna get into some listener feedback to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: as it pertains to Adam Silver and the NBA, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: we're gonna dive into some Phillies talk too. But you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: we haven't necessarily dove into the Philadelphia Eagles in their
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: off season. That's what we're thrown down on the table
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this week. We've got Shane Half from the Eagles Pinpool Network.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He's going to join us for some Eagles offseason talking
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: storylines that we're following on the offense and defense. But man, like,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: holy cow, I mean seeing the Sixers get swept, seeing
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the Flyers get swept this past week, I mean, what
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: a gut punch it was. Man, it was like I
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: was I wasn't expecting sweeps, to be honest with you,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and it was just like, oh my gosh, we're watching this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's tough because you know, but the Flyers,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: that's to positive momentum, haven't been in the playoffs and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: how long or even want a series? And how long?
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: And that was a lot of fun. That one was
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: by far less disappointing, I would say, because you ran
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: into just an absolute freaking juggernaut who's probably they're gonna
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: play Colorado, right, that's gotta be the thing, And they're
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: just I would have hoped they at least like the
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: front office is like, all right, we have a work
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: cutout for us, But man, what what good momentum we
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: have going to the next season, Like that's all. It's
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: honestly just a positive it is, and getting swept is good.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: It's like a lot of fire under the young guy's
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: asses for next year as that pantherst Panthers, Carolina. Yeah,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: just terrible names in hockey especial like the the Golden
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Knights is just terrib like just it stinks, yes, but
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: maybe it's good. They got swept, tons of good momentum
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: going to next year. But the Sixers, man.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Let's get into them right off of that here, dude.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, they got bounced in a shutout series against
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the New York Knicks again. Second round. It was just
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: so tough to watch. And I think part of the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: reason it was so tough to watch, Eric, is because
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: we had this some we had this sense of hope
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: after the first round in them taking care of business
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: against the Boston Celtics, that man, this team may be
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: here to play in these postseason games. And man, it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just didn't happen. And I think I think that was
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: the surprising part of it. And there were times where
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we saw some fight and we did see some grit
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: every now and again, but at the end of the day,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: just completely falling short again after winning that first round
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: series against Boston, it was just it was more of
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a shock for me. And I'm not necessarily shocked that
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: they lost the series. It's how they actually lost the series,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: so that let's get it started there.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Boston thing was a lot of fun.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: They finally beat that team in game seven, came back,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: you know, down three to one. Yes, pretty amazing to
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: watch a lot of it though. I mean the Sixers
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: played their asses off to play really well. But the
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Boston coach I think just just he what's the term,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: just collapsed yea, he it. Whatever he tried to do
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: really backfired and it allowed the Sixers in Game seven
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to get a lot of momentumy I think he started.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: There was the first time in playoff history, three guys,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: three starters didn't score a point in the game for
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: the Celtics, which is like that's break.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, they played a much better team
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the next round, and my god, I have some notes here,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: like the next defense was just astounding. They and we
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: also they were hotter than us honestly going into that
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: second round. Yeah, you know, they they absolutely took care
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: of business. And then after one, I would have not
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: played embiid just just me. I would have waited game two.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: And that was a bad sign that they got blown
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: out in game one when they lost game three, it
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was you knew the magic was done.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: It was over.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: They had Embiid O g Og didn't play for the Knicks,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: and the fact that they couldn't, like I couldn't win
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: that game was it was really the nail, you know,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the death knell.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: But they were hitting every three, by the way, in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: game four, hitting every three. It was amazing and I
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: actually thought, I actually thought that was probably the best
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Knicks game that they've ever played in their entire existence.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they really took it to us. And Brunston was
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the best player on the floor all four games, better
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: than Maxi, better than Bide. And they way they defended Embiid,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: they they you know, Mike, I got to give kudos
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: to Mike Brown, the Knicks coach. He they really defended
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Embiid in a different way than the Celtics did. They
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: just they didn't let him just park his ass down
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: on the post and just create havoc and allowed you know,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: shooters to to go off the three point line. They
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: defended them extremely well and kind of they they the
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: the Sixers slowed the game down against Boston, and it
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: was to Boston's detriment, but like it got even slower
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: with the Knicks, which was absolutely to the Knicks advantage.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Man, oh a much much better team one. And I
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't like to see the blowout. I
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: didn't like to see seventy five percent Knicks fans in
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the crowd in Game four.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: What the hell? I'm glad you mentioned it, dude, because
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: like even Embid coming into the series was saying, look,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I got money, you know if people need if people
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: need it, we need to make sure Sixers fans are
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in the building. Dude. This is a fucking narrative that's
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: going to be here now for years and years and years,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: regardless of what happens to this team. I'm talking regular
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: season games. Knicks fans are going to be coming down
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: to Philly and just wreaking havoc in the Exfinity Mobile
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Arena at this point or wherever they're going to be playing.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a a theme that is
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: going to be a pain in the ass for years
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to come. Yeah.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And you know, unfortunately we lost one of our great
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: celebrity fans. M Night gave Timothy's Chalameze tickets and it
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: was noticeable. I noticed it. And you're off the list
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: now of Sixers celebrity fans, yep, officially, even though you're
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: gonna be sitting next year. But the way it fell apart,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the way they lost, the way it was such a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: non crescendo to the season and actually it was really embarrassing,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: is definitely a microcosm of our next topic. And Darryl Mory,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and I would say more so the owner.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: So I love, yeah, I know. It's just a dead
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: silence there for a second because while Darryl Mory has
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: been fired, good, we're I think we're all glad as
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sixers fans. There needs to be a change in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: front office. But you said it when it comes to
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Josh Harris, the guy who is not only in the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Epstein files, but who has really seemed like.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: He beat me to it.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Oh I did.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I'm just just gonna put it out there, the man.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, go ahead.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Seriously, he's in those files more than once. I'm just
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: gonna say it.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: A lot more than once. And who cares? And no, no,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: out there, this is not political. No, this is a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: reality thing. This is fact, This is truth. This is
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: not something made up. It's not political either. This is
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a true fucking story. So for those of you listening
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: out there getting your panties bunched up. Stop stop, Daryl
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Mory going. But Josh Harris, one of our good friends
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: of the podcast who lives down in Florida. His name's Patrick.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: He's been on actually a couple times, and he actually said,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: you know, why can't Jeffrey Lurry just buy the Sixers
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: and be the owner of the Sixers from here on out?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: And it was like the way he said it, it
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: was like the it was like the tweet of the month.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: It really was, because Josh Harrison and give a shit
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: about this team, this organization, this city at all. He's
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: a recent purchaser of the Washington Commanders. He certainly cares
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: about that team. And maybe maybe he doesn't, you know,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: maybe that that'll wayne itself at some point down the road.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But this is an owner who really does not care.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: He doesn't care, and that's a huge problem when you
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have owners in cities who are who are just making hands,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: hands over fists. Is that the right phrase, money like
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: making money hand over fists?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Is that the right phrase? So? Yes, yes, yes, thank you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Usually kind of good with phrases on that one. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: really bombed, of course, but he doesn't care. He doesn't
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: care about winning championships, obviously, and that's a problem that
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: is a problem overall for US sports fans and US
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Sixers fans.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's not even not even necessarily those files.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not political at all. It
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: just speaks to the man's character. Yes, it speaks to
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: what does he actually care about? It just seems to
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: be about money. Really, I'm sure he cares about the
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Commanders because an NFL franchise is far more important than
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a basketball franchise to most owners. Whoever's like owned two
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: teams at the same time. The Sixers are not his
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: priority whatsoever. I don't think the man understands basketball at all,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and we shouldn't even be talking about him, but unfortunately
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: we are, because he's the one that allowed this to
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: go on for so long, and he's also the one
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: that kind of hamstrung Maury. Let me just speak about
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: morey quick. I'll get back to Josh.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the man did just did some good things.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: You know, he did draft McCain, He drafted Maxie. Although
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: everything I read now is Elton Brand kind of drafted Maxie.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: I mean Maury was only there for like two weeks
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: when the draft happened.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Don't want to take away too much, like you know,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: I don't want to take away too much credit. Let
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: go well, and I was gonna say he also made
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: some bad, some some serious mistakes, cutting Isaiah Joe or
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: trading away Isaiah Joe, cutting Champagne Champagne because his name
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: for the Spurs. Yeah, so Mac McClung could be in
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: a friggin dunk competition. By the way, I'm mentioning players
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: that are still in the playoffs. By the way, yes,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: he held on to Tobias Harris for way too long.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Another guy is still in the playoffs. The McCain trade,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: which was the Dwayne Deadman signing, was just outrageous. Yes,
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: the guy was a corpse three years prior to the signing. Yes,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So like the McCain thing though, was you know, one
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: of the one of the death knells for for him.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: But the two big ones were the contracts, the contract
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: extension for embiide in the contract for for Paul George,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: which at the time made sense.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Were we're honest on this show, We're honest on the show.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And the Paul George one. We were like, okay, we're
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: understanding this. We were for it now. I just want
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to throw that out there.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Plus there's also the side effect of him constantly talking
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: about himself as kind of a genius, you know, And
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: if you don't make genius moves over and over and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: over and you don't have any rings to show for it,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: eventually you're you're, you're, you're, your your your bid gets
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: a little old, you know, people get tired of it.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: But it is this is more of an ownership disaster
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: than a GM because the the owner is the one
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: that pushed for him year after year after year to
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: stay under the tax. Like the really good teams that
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: have won titles are all over the tax, are right
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: at the apron, and are still making moves to stand
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: under the second apron, but over the first one, to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: keep their teams good and intact.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: And he could afford me. He could afford it. By
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the way, talking about he could afford it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: They could have dropped. I think Maury was told to
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: get under the tax. I think he looked at his
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: roster and he's like, who the hell am I going
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to trade away to stand under the tax? Whose actual value,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I can actually get something back. McCain was the only one,
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: you know, so like you know, in theory, on paper,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: it's like, well, this is the one guy we can
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: trade and actually get a pickback. But you watch him
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs, you watch him the whole year long,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and what the Sixers need, and it's like, well, that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: was a horrible decision. But he was also forced his
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: hand was kind of forced by Josh Harris, who actually
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: this past year, even without the Epstein stuff, like kind
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: of recognized as one of the worst owners in sports. Yeah,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Like I when I saw, you know, when the More
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: news broke, like a lot of people on Twitter were like,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: this guy is one of the worst owners in sports.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: And I'm going through the list of what people are
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: putting down, I'm like, yeah, no, they're right. He might
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: be the worst one in basketball, Like the Portland owner
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: of the new Guy, he's already is already he's already
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: threatening to move the team. So he might be worse
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: than Harris, but but he doesn't care about the sport.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: His only concern is money and staying under the tax.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: And part of it too, is like he kept Nick
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Nurse around. How does that make any sense you're going
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to bring in a whole new front office and you're
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: going to keep the coach. No new front office like
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: Nurse is not safe. Let's just put that out there now.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Any new front office is going to want to make
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: a decision at coach. And if Nick Nurse passes all
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: the interviews or whatever, fine, But that alone tells me
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I don't think Harris wants to pay two coaches at
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the same time because he's cheap. Yeah, and I think
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: that's part of the reason Nurse stuck around. I honestly
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: think that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: So it's crazy, really quick. It's so crazy the phrase
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: you just said, because it's true from a multi billionaire
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that the guy is cheap like it is. It is
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: crazy to me, and it should be for everybody listening
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: to this as well. I never tell people how to
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: feel or what they should think, ever, but that should
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: be crazy to everybody, that a multi billionaire guy is cheap.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I just it boggles my mind. It just does.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Look wealth doesn't buy class is a huge thing that
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: I've learned in the past, however, like thirty years of
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: my life, and also wealthy people are sometimes cheap and
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: in class lists and he strikes me as one of
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: those people. And he already has the target on his
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: back of being the worst owner or one of the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: maybe the worst owner of the NBA, and uh, that's
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: not going to go away. But at the same time,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: unfortunately that wealth makes him like, I don't care. You
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: can see whatever you want. I'm worth billions of dollars.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: I don't give a shit. This is just a tax
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: right off this team to me, and I can sit
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: courtside and hang out with my millionaire billionaire buddies. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: somehow we all of a sudden have one of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: worst owners in sports in Philadelphia. It happened. It happened quietly,
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: but like, I think it's finally we've reached that point.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: And keeping Nurse and not wanting to pay another coach
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is screams like he's a cheap ass.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Let us know what you're thinking about.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Leave us a comment below. If you're watching on YouTube
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: about the Sixers team, the organization, where they are going
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: in the future. Oh, somebody's got a nose blow there.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: Do your kids get sick?
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: I know it's over the worse and you got two
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: at the same age. Yeah, going to school and bringing
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: shit back.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: My one daughter's got a throat like she had a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: major throat ache and stuff. I think it's a lot
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of like sinus drippage and stuff like that. Yeah, but really,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and then I started feeling it this morning. I'm like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, So all right, we're gonna take
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: a break, folks, and when we get back, we're gonna
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: be getting into some listener feedback about the Sixers. Specifically,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get into some Phillies talk and some Eagles
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: talk as well. By the way, we're also going to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: be doing our newer segment love to See It, Hate
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: to See It. We'll be back in just a bit,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: all right, now, don't we get into some listener feedback
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: from our good friend Patrick and I should have had
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this already. Good back. I don't even think I sent
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: you the email. I stink. I'm just realizing it right now.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: You did not. I was just gonna kind of wing
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: it here.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Boy, what a dope, What a complete dope I am.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: But our good friend and Patrick B who writes us
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: every now and again over at Philadelphia Sports Table at
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: gmail dot com, said hey, guys, I was curious your
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: take on the Tim alberta article in The Atlantic Adam
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Silver goes to war in some ways, the NBA has
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: never been bigger, But the article makes some compelling points.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Like many Silver doubters, I believe he's disadvantaged the Sixers
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and coming down on Darryl Mory when he was with
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Houston for his comments on Hong Kong were extremely absurd.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Hope you're all good. I'm not sure Eric, if you
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: read the article. And again, Patrick, thanks so much for
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: sending us some listener feedback there, because I think it's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: an important discussion to have for professional basketball fans, NBA
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: fans about the guy who's running the ship at the Helm,
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: what he's meant to the organization, what he's meant to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: the state of basketball in terms of the product that
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they're putting out on the court. It was interesting how
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Patrick just mentioned how he really came down on Daryl
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Morey for those comments about Hong Kong, and he's come
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: down on Daryl Moury with comments concerning China and things
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: like that as well. So Adam Silver doesn't mind getting
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: involved with the you know, the geopolitical aspects of how
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the NBA has looked at throughout the world. But in
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: terms of this article, it's just it's a guy who
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: truly does understand the business aspect of the NBA and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: also excuses certain aspects of the NBA that certain of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: us don't really care for, whether it's flopping or whether
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: it's guys actually getting into getting into fights on the court,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: how it's good for the entertainment part and brand of
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: who the NBA is. It was an interesting article, and
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I honestly I'm not sure if I would I would
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: have read it if not for Patrick's email to us,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what were your thoughts here.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Well, I didn't read the article because I don't have
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: an Atlantic subscription, nor did I get the email from you,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: So I stink. But I can. I can definitely speak
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: to Adam Silver. Yeah, and he's pretty much like any
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: other commissioner. I think he's more available, a little more
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: communicative and open than some of the other commissioners. Yeah,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: I do respect him for that. If there's a problem,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: he does typically address it head on. I mean, the
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: they put flopping rules in place, aren't they're not They're not.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: The rest aren't calling that crap? But right, he did
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: put some stuff in place. He did address the tanking thing.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna work.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: The last time you were on.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he at least addresses this stuff. But he definitely
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: he you know, he's like any commissioner, he's all about
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: He's all about the owners honestly that that's who he
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: works for. It's not necessarily the league. I think he
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: does a I think overall he does a pretty good
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: job as a commissioner, not in terms of like taking
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: care of the billionaires room the teams, but like taking
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: care of the product on the court yea and globally
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: because that's a big deal. But the fact that he
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: came down hard on Darryl Mourray because of the Hong
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Kong stuff in China, but doesn't come down hard on
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: any of the owners of the owner of the owner
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: who was employing Daryl Morey at the time, didn't come
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: down hard on him. The fact that you know some
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of his owners are probably in the Epstein files. I'm
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: just bringing it up again because it's a bad look.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Can be as big about PR, huge about PR and
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: nothing happened with those with those guys either, And it's
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: just never going to because you know, he was worried
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: about Hong Kong and China because of finances.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, I don't.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: He didn't care about anything else.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Expanding the brand that's going to bring in more billions
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and billions of time to the NBA.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the owners are smart enough, that's the same thing,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: because they're all about money. Morey's a little more out
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: there and speaks his mind. But you know the fact
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that that's ultimately who Silver answers to, you know, makes
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: me he's doing his job honestly. And I you know,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I think I think Darrel will get another job. I
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: think maybe Daryl's a little older and won't won't talk
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: about that kind of stuff anymore. But as far as
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Silver goes, you know, he'll come. He'll continue to come
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: down on players and gms who speak up like that,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: but he's never gonna touch any owners at all.
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's a great point. It's a great point.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And Patrick, thank you so much for taking the time
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: to email us, folks. If you want to reach out
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: over email, uh sometimes we're able to bring those emails
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: to the show. Philadelphia Sports Table at gmail dot com
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: would love to hear from you. And if you're watching
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: on YouTube again, leave us a comment below. Would love
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on Adam Silver, the NBA and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: so the direction of the league. Let's now dive into
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Eric the fact that there's no more Flyers hockey, there's
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: no more Sixers basketball, so we now have the Philadelphia
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Phillies to look forward to. This is a team now
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: that is in third place here at twenty and twenty
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: three as of us recording this here on Thursday, May fourteenth,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: and third place in the NL East, and this team
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: is going through some ups and downs for sure, So
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: we just wanted to talk about some overall thoughts what
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: we've seen from the Phillies as of late. And I
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: gotta say, it's so great to see Zach Wheeler back
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: and in action and him just having such an incredibly
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: dominant performance this past week. He pitched seven and a
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: third innings of one run baseball that led to the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Phillies two to one win over the Red Sox. In
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: that matchup, he pitched into the eighth inning for the
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: first time this year, and it's great to see him
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: what appears to be back to normal here and providing
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: some more stability that's absolutely needed with this starting rotation.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: So That's where I kind of wanted to go here
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: because we've also got Andrew Paynter as well. Coming into
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: his recent start, he had eight I think it was
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: eight point zero zero e r A. It's been tough.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: It's been tough for him, and I don't think anybody
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: thought it was gonna be perfect for Andrew Paynter, but
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: having Zach Wheeler back into the fold really stabilized as
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: a starting rotation.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: It's really good to see. I thank god he's back.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I mean you look at their their their top five starters.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: It's you know, Noel, Zarto and Painter. I'll have Era's
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: over five. Yeah for the season. Telling you that was
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: arta contract, I know.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: You keep saying it, you keep saying it. Yeah.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Well he's he's going today against Ranger tonight. This should
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: be a fun game. Yeah, but thank god for Wheeler's comeback.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And Sanchez is kind of Sanchez had a couple of
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: what two Harry starts this year, but for the most
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: part he's been he's been good. You're gonna need both
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: those guys because your other three are just in the
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: toilet right now. Do they make a move at some point,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But I honestly, I'm gonna start watching
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: again tonight. You know, every year the Sixers. I didn't
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: have to deal with the Flyers playoff losses in the
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: past because they just weren't in the playoffs. So right, typically,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: when the Sixers lose in the playoffs, which is every
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: frigging year, I used to take a week off from
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: the Phillies, little spring break from myself. There you go,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: even if they're playing well, you know, but like so,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna get back in them tonight. But they're obviously
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: responding to maddingly and that that's very that's very apparent.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I don't know what it is with baseball players. That
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: seems to be the one sport where you get rid
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: of the coach and then all of a sudden, oh,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: this guy's different. We're gonna win ten in a row.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: It happens like that, and the Phillies kind of did it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. RTI walks out the building and
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden they have batten like three hundred
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: and three fifty as a team.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: Brandon marsh is like the best hitter in baseball somehow
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: at this point, well.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: The splits the last fourteen days, Schwarber, Marsh, Crawford and
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Bomb we're all crushing the ball. I was looking at
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: the splits. I'm like, what the hell is going on?
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: And Stott had a great game last two nights ago.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Did you notice, by the way, on Mother's Day, Bomb
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: was the only player that didn't wear the past Yes?
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: You know why right?
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Why didn't he wear it?
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Oh he's suing his parents for like, oh that's why.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh my gosh, that's right.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: That.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, I assu in his parents because they apparently allegedly
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: allegedly steal money from him. I am I love.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: That and I didn't even think of it, but I
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: actually watched some of the game and I'm like, I
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: saw it on Twitter later, I'm like, oh that makes sense. Yeah,
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: just a little aside there. I thought that was yeah, yeah,
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: not for him. I think it was still like three
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: million allegedly unbelieved. No, but the team's responding, And you know,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: it's weird that Alex Chorus stuff that cropped up the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: first three days after they fired. Our te just died.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because Mattingly's doing such a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: good job, but like I guess Maddenly's just the guy now, Like, yeah,
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: that was that was like, well, they're gonna hire Korra.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: That just knows, well, how can you how can you
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: bring in Kora if you're seeing success and wins and
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: now you thought Zach Wheeler back in the fold, then
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: if you've got Kyle Schwarber who's absolutely murdering baseballs and
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and which by the way, I wanted to get into.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously with the All Star Game in Philadelphia,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: like he's gonna he's got to be in the home
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: run Derby, right, and that's gonna have to be, Like,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be a crazy thing to watch. It really
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: is in Philly, him and the home run Derby, that's
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: gonna be. That's gonna be something.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: It is. And you know what's amazing about baseball players,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Guys have been playing for forever. They I was watching
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: MLB Network and they talked about Schwarber recently just made
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: a quick little adjustment to a swing. Yeah, And I
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: watched it, and I'm like, I get that, but like
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: and then then he just rakes for five straight days
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: and hits like five straight games of the home run yeah,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, this guy's been playing for his whole life, right,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: he makes one, but it's so cool that he's actually
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: like players are still willing to make a little tweaks
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: to their swing, even like fourteen years new a career,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: and all of a sudden he's blasting five home runs
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: a game. So like, I guess that's for us older guys.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: Older people like don't don't be afraid of change, but like,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I just find baseball so interesting that way. But the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: good thing was I wanted to mention this quick with
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the Phillies, Yeah, Schwarber has to be the home run derby,
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: there's no doubt. To press your point. I mean, it's
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: in Philly, for God's sake, like mine. But they're twenty
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: and twenty three. The good thing is baseball is kind
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: of crappy this year. There's like, what eight good teams,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that's it, Yeah, and then there's like eight horrible Like
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: there's just a huge middle ground right now. I think
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: there are nine spots out of for play or ten
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: ten spots out of first place in the entire league,
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and they're playing well. There's no team blowing it, blowing
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: other teams out of the water right now. The Braves,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: I think are the top team. In the National League,
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: and like, you know that that that could change tomorrow.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: So if they could get one of their other pitchers going,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: and they have Wheeler and Sanchez just dealing, and the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: way they're hitting the ball right now and responding to Maddinglely,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: like that's I definitely feel positive going into June that
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: they could make a run and get that get that
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: lead to like four games with the Braves and and
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: maybe that's maybe that happens, but like again, they seem
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to be responding, and I don't know anything behind the scenes,
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: but like, just keep whatever you're doing, Maddenly, just you know,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: just keep yes, take them a dairy Queen after every
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: wines like I did that last night after Vinnie's baseball game.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Have I gone to dairy queen after a baseball game
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: many many years? It was actually really nice. So if
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: if Mattingly's do, just keep doing it. Maybe it's water
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: ice in South Philly, but water ice. Yeah, yeah, it
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: seems to work because the kids we were loving it.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: After Abigail's karate training last night, I stopped off and
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: I got I got us some wa wah milkshakes that
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: were freaking fantastic. Yes, oh my gosh, cookies and cream milkshake. Whoo.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I had the new frosted donut blizzard at DQ what
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: they have a whole breakfast line of like, yes.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I know where I'm going after this.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: It was phenomenal. I don't really I don't usually like
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but it was really good. Jeff,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: you should get there today.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, let's do it. Let's get the show
• 29:36

  Speaker 1: hate to see it? What are your thoughts here, my friend.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Okay, I got I got two loves to see it.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: One's local and one is international. Oh okay, locally a
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: planned data center in our community, very close by the way,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: just got just got voted, not voted down. But the
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: companies that were gonna put we're going to build it
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: got so much pressure and just red tape and bullshit
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: that they decided not to do it. They pulled the contract.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: Oh all right, I guess that's a win for the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: community there, huh big time.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, A lot of hippie libs like myself put a
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: lot of pressure on on the on the school board
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: and and the community whatever the hell it's called the boards.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, the company backed out, and thank goodness
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: for that.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Right all right now?
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: My international love to see it is literally love to
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: see it. We went to Toronto, uh two weeks ago, two
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: weeks like, yeah, two weekends ago, and it's it's one
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: of my favorite cities in the world. Yeah that it
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: overtook uh some some cities I've had on the list
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: for a long time. It's probably the top three. It
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: really is kind of like it's a smaller Manhattan of Canada.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: The cn Tower is amazing. The NHL Hockey Hall of
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Fame my son and I went to that was a blast.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: It's a super clean city. There's there's no pp on
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: the subways and stuff, and the trolleys and the bus
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: is like it's I noticed that big time. It was
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: because I lived in Philly for a long time and
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: there was always once a week, there was always that
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: one that one chair on the subway that had the
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: pee and you're just like, don't slam the brakes on
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: subway driver, because that's going to go everywhere, Like you know,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: oh my god, if you live down there, you know
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about. Yes, none of that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: They're super clean, great food city. But love literally love
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: to see Toronto. It was awesome time awesome.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: I I have yet to go. I have yet to
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: visit that city. And I was actually talking with somebody
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: yesterday and we were talking about traveling in the future
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: and just how important it is to you know, our
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: families and stuff, and he's like, you know, you just
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: got to do it. You just got to go up there.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Just drive up there. You can drive to Canada. It's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: easy to do and it's and it's wonderful. Especially Toronto
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: just such a great culture based scene. Food is great
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: up there, from what folks say. And I got to
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: get up there, man, I gotta get up there. We
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: should go up together. Actually, just leave our families here
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: at home, go up together.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah, do it. Do a Montreal half the week,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: Toronto half the week, and both those cities are amazing.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: I love it. I love I love the idea. Let's
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: keep that in the back of our minds. For sure.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: I won't be able to do that this year, maybe
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: next year, so love to see it for me. This,
• 33:18

  Speaker 1: I would. I just formed it one day from a
• 34:13

• 34:17
  Speaker 2: except for him. Yact like he doesn't exist that day.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Yep.

• 34:46
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you this too, tell you this too.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: His first metal show. I can't believe I'm going to
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: admit this, but I'm truthful all the time. It's the
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: first metal show I'm going to or I actually have
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: a seat. Oh my gosh, I got a seat because
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I'm like, fuck it, I want to enjoy this and
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I don't want to stand for four hours.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, a metal show in a seat?
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I know, I don't. I know. It's my birthday and
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing my favorite band. I'm gonna sit down and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: enjoy it.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Listen, you had to keep me from going into the
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Lamb of godpit I did last month. Yes, I can't
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: even imagine a seat, like I know, I'm doing it
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: this one time. Okay, this one time.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: That's it. So all right, that's that's our love to
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: see it. What's your hate to see it?
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Listen? We're probably going to see a band called I
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: Forget to Vomit something.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: Of yeah, vomits, Yes.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: To vomit violently sitting down. Yeah, we're not going it's
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: a death metal band. We're not sitting down for No,
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: we're not going to sit for that.
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So I hate to see it for me, honestly,
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: Donald Gid passing away at seventy miles. Yeah, saw that
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: in my feed the other night, and and uh man,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: what it's so it's it's so weird, Like I think
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: obviously most kids this these days have no clue who
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: the guy is, right, But and I'm not. I'm not
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the biggest nostalgia guy, like, oh, the Goodies changed White life.
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: Like I see those accounts online and I'm like, yeah,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I relax. It was a good movie. But yeah, good god.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: I based my life on the movie, uh Lucas or
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: whatever that movie is with the the one Corey brothers
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: in it. I think it's Lucas maybe Lucas. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: just those just that kind of stuff. I'm like, just
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: get a grip, people. But I do think back to
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: like nineteen eighty eight. Donald gibb was in Revenge of
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: That Hurts two and blood Sport. Yeah, two movies that
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: you know this, these are the VHS days, and they're
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the days of like, you know, I had Prism, which
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: if you from Philly, you know what Prism is. Yes,
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: it's basically the local Philly HBO. And you know, unfortunately
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: Prism only had like twelve movies a month, right, so
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: you essentially watched the same goddamn movie like over and
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: over and over. You had if you had no life. Yeah,
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: you're like twelve years old like I was, and I
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: watched those two movies. I've seen both movies probably forty
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: times a piece. Oh yeah, and Donald Gibb was like
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: a staple of like that point in my life when
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: you start to get like movie file or music file,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: like you start to like get obsessed with stuff. Yes,
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: so Ogre and Ray Jackson were you know, we were
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: embedded in my brain. You know, Donald and Donald get
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: played both parts.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: And like when when he when he when he broke
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: the brick over his head and forehead. Yeah, blood Sport.
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: The scenes should should have Big chun Ley. He should
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: have had to fight his buddy in the in the finals.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: When he makes the turn of Nerds Too and all
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: of a sudden he's part of the Nerd crew. Yeah,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: what a heartwarming experience that was. Yeah, and uh he
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: became a try lamb at the end of Nerds Too.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: And yeah, and it's just a bummer, like one of
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: those guys that like just all as soon as he
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: saw his face, like, oh yeah, when I was twelve,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: that guy. Yeah, but yeah, that was that was sad here.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, there's certain folks that pass away who are
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: staples of our childhood or even even even into our
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: twenties and thirties. You know, we can go back to
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: this past year, like when Ozzie passed away, like we
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: all knew it was gonna happen at some point, but man,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: it was like the alt and we knew that at
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: some point someday, just based on how we knew what
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: his health was, it was gonna happen. Still the ultimate bummer,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: especially for those of us who enjoy heavy music and
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: in the history of heavy music where it came from,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: you know, with movies like you're we're talking about, we
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: have these actors and actresses that just meant something to
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: us as we were growing up. I can't tell you
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: how many times I watched Blood Sport with my dad,
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: probably at least fifty times. We had to watch it
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: at least fifty times where we just we all know
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: the we all know the lines from the from the movie,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, yeah, you hate you hate to
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: see it. So that's a that's a that's a good one, man,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: that's a good one. I hate to see it, and
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: and and I don't. I don't want to get too
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: too serious, but I've had a number of conversations this
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: past week with folks who are truly truly having PTSD.
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding when it comes to the antivirus
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and what it might actually mean for society if, if, if,
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason, there is some sort of outbreak. And
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: again I don't mean to get like ridiculously serious here,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: even though it is I hate to see this. There's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of folks that have major PTSD from from
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen pandemic eric and people thinking how is
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: this going to potentially change life again? People are absolutely
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: fearful of what may happen in the future. I don't
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: think we're going to be getting into that type of
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: situation that we did back in twenty twenty. I don't
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. But I don't necessarily trust certain
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: folks that are in power and authority in Washington to
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: make sure that we're gonna be able to combat this
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the way that it needs to. And I hate to
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: have these feelings of I don't know how this may
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: turn out in the end. I think I know how
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: it might, but I'm hating to see this right now
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: at this point, I'm really I'm really concerned, to be honest,
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and so many other people are too. It's a thing.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't think rf K Junior will help
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: us get through this and in the best way.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, if he can figure out his brain worms,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: you know, wrestling wrestling bears and and all that stuff.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I implore you. If you're not a fan,
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: go see John Mulaney on Twitter, Instagram his recent like
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: his recent comedy set. He talks about RFK Junior, who
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: he's actually like, Okay, oh, it's it's one of them
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I have setdowns of someone who actually knows the guy. Yeah,
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: it's pretty good. No, I mean, I I no offense
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: to the families of these people, but I would I
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: would have just bombed that cruise ship that had to
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: hand to hand. I would have just knocked. I would
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: just want to sink it into the ocean. I got
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I want who they all wants to deal with this crap.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: And this one's like brutal apparently, right Yeah, yeah, you know,
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: and people are saying, like, well, it doesn't it doesn't,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: it doesn't. It doesn't move through people like the same
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: way Corona did. But like viruses mutate and they can
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: like adapt and shit. So yeah, it's one that I'm
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: ignoring for right now because there's just so much shit
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: there is.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: It's of the BTSD with it. It really is. I've
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: kind of been ignoring parts of it as well, Like
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not like it's not like every single day I'm
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: reading about it. I'm keeping up on it because as
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: a public official, I have to to a certain level
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: and certain extent, and I want to to make sure
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: that my community is inevitably going to hopefully be safe,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: and if we need to ever do anything to combat this,
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: I need to know what's going on in the world.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: So I just it makes me sad. I hate to
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: see it that there are so many people who have
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: this PTSD from the COVID nineteen pandemic back in twenty
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: twenty and twenty twenty one, that they're just really being
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: affected by it, and it doesn't deal. No, this isn't
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: whether or not you're a strong person or not. You know,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: this is they're very real fears. I mean, we had
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: over a million people die from COVID nineteen in this
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: country and millions upon millions throughout the world. So this
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: isn't some something to be uh blase about.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: I have an idea for the show, okay going forward, Oh,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: we should probably flip hate and love. We should, yes,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: because we're gonna end a show on it. On the hand, Well, we.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Got the we've got our interview coming up for fin
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you know with Shane.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yes, but the good news coming. But yeah,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: we should probably flip it because it's such a bumber.
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: It's a good idea.
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: Good idea died and more people might die.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Now for the interview, Yes, now coming up on our
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: regularly scheduled program, folks, we got a great interview about
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: the Eagles.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: All right, it's just a suggestion for one of your hosts.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: I think we should probably flip it.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good idea. Yeah, I think it's
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: a great idea here, all right, buddy, I'm gonna let
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: you go. Any final thoughts before you go, now, just
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: that one, okay, all I have. We'll change it up
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: for sure. Good job, al, folks. When we get back,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: we got Eagles talk coming your way and now on

  Speaker 3: And yes, lately we've been doing a lot of all
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: twenty two work on Eagles rookies and unfortunately, for whatever reason,
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: you can't really publicly post college all twenty two stuff
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: like you can with the NFL. I don't understand why.
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: So we've had some like public shows where we've talked
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: a few takeaways. But there's a lot of all twenty
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: two breakdowns for the Eagles rookies in that Patreon, so
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: that's a good place to check it out. In season,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I do weekly past game reviews, we have weekly player spotlights.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: There's lots If you're a film junkie at all, there's
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: a lot of content out there during the season that
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: we put out.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: It's great stuff. Folks. Like I said, I'm a subscriber.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I think I'm a five dollars subscriber, and it's the
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: best five dollars a month that I'm spending. To be
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: honest with you, it's great. So that being said, Sheen,
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: let's get into this Eagles off season here, and we
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: got to start with the tired storyline. I mean, we
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: got to get into it because something's gonna be happening
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: at some point down the road, and that is this
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: entire AJ Brown to the Patriots narrative. And I think
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: we all know again that it's coming. But I'm gonna
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, I'm gonna miss the guy lining
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: up at wide receiver one. And any Eagles player, in
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: my opinion, that not only went to a Super Bowl
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: but ended up scoring a touchdown in a Super Bowl
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: wearing an Eagles jersey is always going to have a
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: special place in my Philadelphia sports soul here. So just
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: to get this out of the way here, what are
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on this entire Aj Brown narrative and storyline
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: that we have been dealing with now for quite some time.
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: I'm tired of it. I just want I just want
• 47:09
  Speaker 1: to shoot to drop whatever it's going to be or
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: not going to be. What are your thoughts here, buddy?
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I am grateful to the player. I the Eagles
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: probably don't go to two super Bowls in a three
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: year span without him, yep. And I'm ready for it
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: to be done. I'm just ready to move on. I
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: was tired of the drama part way through last season,
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: especially when the play on the field and the effort
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: on the field began to drop. And so I wish
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: Aja the best. I won't I'm not gonna bad mouth
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: them on the way out, but I'm tired of the
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: cryptic quotes and the blaming of the media for firestorms
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: that you kind of kicked off to begin with. And
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, we know there's interplay there, like we know
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: the Philly media is a certain way, but also you know,
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: it's it's not hard to say things won't draw reactions,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: and so AJ's culpable in it.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I hope he goes somewhere and I won't say I
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: hope he goes and has a great rest of his
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: career because I don't want him knocking us off in
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Super Bowls. But I hope he goes and has success,
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: and you know, I hope he's happy where he lands,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: and I hope the Eagles are happy with the first
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: round pick they get back. When you think about it, yeah,
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: and I'm presuming it's That's what a lot of the
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: reporting has been. It's going to be a twenty twenty
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: eight first round pick. And I know a lot of
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: people are bummed about it not being a twenty twenty
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: seven first, and I just don't really care. I don't
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: really devalue future picks over current picks. And that's the
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: luxury of having a stable GM, is that how he
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't have to either. And I think he's able to
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: take advantage of others that do. Like if the Patriots
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: aren't willing to give a twenty seven first, they shouldn't
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: be willing to give a twenty eight first, And so
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: I think that's the way that how he can get
• 48:55
  Speaker 3: a little more value than maybe anybody else would be
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: willing to give up. And so it being a twenty
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: eight first doesn't really matter too much to me. I'm
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: glad that it'll be a first And so when you
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: think about it, you gave a first round pick for
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: AJ Brown, went to two Super Bowls and flipped him
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: for a first round pick, and I'd say that's a
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: pretty good usage your resources.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: It absolutely is. And Shane, the more that I think
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: about the wide receiver room here and assuming AJ Brown
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: has gone from Philadelphia here, the wide receiver room is
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: going to look different for sure, and I'm trying to
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: figure out kind of how to characterize it. Look, I
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: absolutely love the Mkai Lemon pick in the draft. He
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: and Davonte Smith, I think are going to be so
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: fun to watch, especially with what Seawn Manyon maybe doing
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: with this offense in the future. And we're certainly going
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: to get to Seawan Manyon in a bit. But with
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: DeVante Smith and Makai Lemon, they are quote smaller receivers
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and as your potential number one and number two, I mean,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: I think it does raise some some level of question
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: as to what that level of productivity might end up being.
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: But it also makes me wonder then too, what Elijah Moore,
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: Dantavian Wicks, Hollywood Brown Darius Cooper, Johnny Wilson like what
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: they could possibly give this offense as well, and to
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts overall too. So I'm wondering what are your
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: thoughts on how prolific that this wide receiver room could
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: actually be during this twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven season.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: I am buying stock on Davante Smith, all right, I
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: am fully and this was and going back before the
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: AJ is certainly going to be traded. I said that
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: I thought DeVante Smith can be your number one receiver. Yeah,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: if you just go back and look at the charting
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: from like Sports Info Solutions when Davante Smith is in
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: a wide alignment, so a lot of people think, Davante Smith,
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: you need him to be your slot and you certainly
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: got out of the slot. Mackay Lemon plays it ton
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: out of the slot. Eli Stowers plays a ton out
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: of the slot, and so you got a lot of slots. Well,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Davante Smith when he is in a wide alignment, and
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: it's not like a small sample size where it's like
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: five percent of his snaps, but when he was in
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: a wide alignment last season, he ranked third in the
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: NFL and yards per route run from a wide alignment,
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: and that was behind if I remember correctly, Jackson Smith
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: and Jigbo was number one and Puka Nakuah was number two.
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: And then if you go back the year before that,
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: he ranked third in yards per route run from a
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: wide alignment. At that time it was behind Puka Nakua
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: and AJ Brown.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: And so this is a.
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: Guy that over two years of not a minuscule sample size,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: has thrived been top in the league, top three in
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: the league and yards per route run. And some of
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: that has to do with the Eagles propensity to push
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: the ball downfield. But I remember talking about Davante Smith
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: coming out of the draft that sometimes like the traits
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: and skills of players don't match up, and they didn't
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: for DeVante Smith because he's such a and I thought
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: his best trait was beating press coverage, which that's not
• 52:04
  Speaker 3: generally how that works. And at the time I questioned
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: that coming into the NFL, and he's obviously proven it
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: now that it wasn't just a one off thing. So
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: I have full confidence in DeVante outside. I think he's
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: going to have a spectacular year now. Certainly he's benefited
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: from AJ Brown drawing more attention. But I think they've
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: got some other guys that can help draw that attention
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: away this year, and so I think you're going to
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: see Mackay Lemon a lot more out of the slot,
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: Davante a lot more outside. Lemon obviously excels working over
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: the middle of the field, which is an area that
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Eagles haven't traditionally targeted a lot any But I won't
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: get too far into the manion thing, but we'll talk
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: about that in a minute. But I think you see
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: some clear there's a clear direction, a clear one to
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: eighty happening with the offense. And so Dantavian Wicks, I
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: would imagine, is going to be your wide receiver. Three.
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown is going to probably make this team because
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: they guaranteed him more money than they should have. I
• 53:02
  Speaker 3: didn't really like that guaranteeing of that money at the time,
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: So I would assume those four year locks wide receiver. Five.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: I think Elijah Moore is on the outside looking in.
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: I think they would like to keep a Darius Cooper
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: or a Johnny Wilson, a bigger blocking receiver, whichever one
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: kind of pans out. So I think that's kind of
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: the direction you're probably looking at the wide receiver room
• 53:24
  Speaker 3: this year.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's talk about Sean Manyon and this
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: offense and because the discussion of No AJ Brown and
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: what the wide receiver room is going to look like
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: with skill position players are going to look like in
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: terms of what Sean Mannion is going to do and
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: as a first time offensive coordinator, it's going to be
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: really interesting. And after last year's offensive roadblocks, you know,
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: US fans are just clamoring to see something different and
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: something new when it comes to this Eagles offense and
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: how it operates. And it's essentially know where you were
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: going talking about this wide receiver room here. I mean,
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: recent reports say that Manion and Jalen Hurts have really
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: been hitting it off. Seems like we may see some
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: life in this Eagles offense this coming season. And just
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: based on you know, a simple report, I think maybe
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm getting a little too over the moon about
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: this here, But what do you think we should be
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: expecting from Sean Mannon's offense and whether or not this
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: new offense is really going to be able to hit
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: that reset button this year?
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's going to be I think it'll
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: be a completely different offense, okay, And you know, you
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: brought in a guy from the outside that runs an
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: entirely different scheme, and so I think he's going to
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: be given the latitude to do that. And if you
• 54:47
  Speaker 3: question that, you don't have to look much further than
• 54:50
  Speaker 3: the draft to realize that's the case, because again, m
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: kay Lemon's superpower is working over the middle of the
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: field where the Eagles have traditionally not targeted. Now, you
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: can assess different parts of that blame on Jalen Hurts,
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: on Nick Sirianni, on the various offensive coordinators, and I
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: think there's an element of truth to all of them. Yeah,
• 55:11
  Speaker 3: you know, I think if Jalen Hurts was extremely comfortable
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: throwing over the middle of the field, he would pound
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: the table for that, and as a franchise quarterback, you
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: would have some sway there. I think he's reticent to
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: target that area of the field, and you see it
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: all the time with shorter quarterbacks. It's harder to see there,
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: it's harder to throw there. I think Hurtz throws really
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: well with anticipation outside the numbers, not as well inside,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: but there's certainly reps of it. I think there's an
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: aversion to turnovers, whether that comes from hurts or from Sirianni,
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: or if it's a negative feedback loop, and so I
• 55:43
  Speaker 3: think all of those things blend in. But at the
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: end of the day, the best offenses in the NFL
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: are unlocking that area of the field, and so Sean
• 55:53
  Speaker 3: Manion's offense, the Packers offenses targeted that area of the field.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: You're going to see that Makay Lemon works over the
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: middle of the field. Diego draft Eli Stowers in the
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: second round, who is a tight end in name only,
• 56:08
  Speaker 3: but he primarily lined up in the slot in college
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: and he's a terrible blocker. Yes, And so you know,
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: are you telling me on a team they finally invest
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: in tight end through the draft and they spend a
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: second round pick to draft a tight end that's basically
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: a big slot receiver. That tells me we're not going
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: to attach tight ends to the line of scrimmage and
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: try to bully people running downhill anymore. And so all
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: the signs from the draft really confirmed the direction I
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: thought this was going to go, which is that you're
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: seeing a mark shift in the offense. I don't think
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: you're going to try to tweak a few things from
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: last year. I think you're going to see an almost
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: entirely different scheme.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: That's what we want as fans. That's what we want.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: And I wonder, at the end of the day too,
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: just as an offshoot here, if that's what Jalen Hurts
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: wants too, and if the front office and if Nick
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Sirianni actually sat down had a conversation with him, because
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: he is the franchise quarterback of this team, to say,
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: you know, what direction do you think perhaps we should
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: be going in. I do wonder if they had those
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: conversations with Jalen Hurts, considering he's a Super Bowl MVP
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: and again, the franchise quarterback of this team. I don't know.
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: I would think that would be smart of them to
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: do that, to utilize not only his brain, but Okay,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: you have a certain talent structure within yourself and your
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: understanding of various offenses and various scheming. What is going
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: to work for you? And I'm wondering if that's part
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: of the equation too.
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would imagine so. And I mean, don't you
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: don't need Jalen Hurts to be justin Herbert and how
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: he targets and dissects the middle field. You don't need that, right,
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: You just need to not be a bottom three four
• 57:51
  Speaker 3: team in the league in terms of when you're willing
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: to throw there. Because if you're just willing to do it,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: and you'll do it occasionally, teams have to respect it.
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: And I think think what the Eagles have gotten to
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: over the last couple of years is that they're so
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: reticent to do it that teams just don't really have
• 58:08
  Speaker 3: to respect it very much. And so that's what I'm
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: not looking for this team to be under center seventy
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: five percent of the time and half of their passes
• 58:17
  Speaker 3: go between the hashes. That's not gonna happen. But as
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Nick Sirianni said many years ago, a wise man avoids
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: all extremes, and the Eagles have not done that over
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: the last few years. And I don't think they're going
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: to swing to the you know, Shanahan Lafleur style of
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: offense to that extreme either, But I think you're going
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: to see a lot of those concepts come in and
• 58:38
  Speaker 3: sort of even out.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see it, man, I can't. Seriously,
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I'm clamoring for training camp here at this point. But
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: with that being said, folks, we're going to take a
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: break really quick and we come back. We've got more
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Eagles offseason talk. Come your way, stick with us, right.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: We are back with our good friend Shane Haff from
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: the Eagles Pin Network, And as we are moving along
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: with this discussion about the Eagles offseason here, I don't know,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: maybe I'm overreacting, but I want to shift now over
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: to the defense and specifically the safety position on this team,
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: because I do feel a bit concerned right here as
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: we're talking in mid May, and sure there's more offseason
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: to go. Shane and Howie Roseman might make a move
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: to bring in another safety into the fold here, but
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: if this team goes into this season with the current
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: safety talent, I think there could potentially be some problems here.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: I just want to get your thoughts on this particular
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: storyline this offseason. Again. I think there's a move to
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: be made at some point. What are your thoughts here?
• 59:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, every year I sort of push back a little
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: bit with fans. They're like, oh, the Eagles have this week,
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: and man, if Cam Jurgens goes down, I don't know
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: if Drew Kendall is ready to be the backup or
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: to be the center, And I'm like, well, can you
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: name any other backup center in the NFL? Like so,
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: people do get laser focused on their team and they
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily sometimes recognize what the landscape of the NFL
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: as a whole is. That's not the case with safety.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: It's very possible. I think you could make the argument
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: the Eagles have the worst safety room in the NFL,
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 3: and so it's I mean, you look at it. So
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: the Eagles have Marcus EPs. Marcus EPs is a He's
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 3: an okay player. Like Marcus Ops isn't going to kill
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 3: you the back end of your defense if he has
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 3: to play. You know, I would prefer to not walk
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 3: into a season with him as my starter. He was
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: signed off the street as free agent last year during
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: the season for a reason. Now he knows the system.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 3: There's athletic limitations, but he knows the system. He's not
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: going to have the big coverage bus. So you know,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: if you tell me you absolutely just have to start
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 3: Marcus EPs this year, Okay, I'm glad he's here. I
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 3: don't think he's going to kill your defense. Then you've
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: got Andrew mccuba next to him, second round rookie last
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: year was really bad. For the first month or so
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: of the season, he was terrible. Actually, yes, he frequently
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: had coverage bus some of them got other people got
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: blamed for. But you could kind of go back and see, like, well,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: this was Reid blank and Ship trying to rotate over
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: and cover for him because he blew an assignment or
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: different things like that. And he got a lot better
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: as the season went along, he got comfortable, and then
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: he got hurt. And one of the things that Johnny
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: and I spoke about when we were doing all twenty
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 3: two work on Andrew mccooba this time of the year
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: last year was, I don't know if a guy at
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: that size with that play style can survive in the NFL.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: And then he gets hurt in his rookie season. So
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: I'm concerned about that. And so it's less about Macuba
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: and EPs is my starting duo, and more about what's
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: behind them. And what's behind them is guys that have
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: never played safety. And then all before exactly Cole was
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: new Ski seventh round pick. You've got you know a
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: lot of people are hanging their hat on Michael Carter,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: who has not played safety in the NFL. He's cornerback,
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: and I know he played a little safety in college
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: PF fun fact. PFF charts him out as almost never
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: playing safety in college, but he's actually listed as a
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: safety on Duke's rosters.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Oh really, So.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that's a charting aberration, but he
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: hasn't done it really in the NFL much. And so
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: you know, you're telling me you're going to put Cooper
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: to Gene at safety in a pinch. So I don't
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: like I don't like that, right, So I think it's
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: very fair to be worried about the safety position. I
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: also think it's really rare that how he walks into
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 3: a draft with such a massive hole on a roster.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 3: And so maybe they didn't, Maybe they already have a
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: move planned. Maybe they're waiting till after June first, when
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: the AJA stuff happens. That's kind of my thought process. Now,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: I think it's pretty unlikely this is the safety group
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: they walk into the season with, but if it is,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: I would be concerned about it.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, Well, look to end our conversation here,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: like to talk about weaknesses and strengths. With all of
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: our Philly sports teams here at a specific moment. So
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: let's first talk about the biggest weakness on this team
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: heading into this twenty twenty six season. I think we
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: actually may have just talked about it with the safety position.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: But what do you think is the weakest position on
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: this team?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's safety. Yeah, that would be and
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: that sounds that's boring to say, you know, back to back.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 3: So I mean I guess we could go with like
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: kicking too. Jake Elliott is here for this year. Yeah,
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: he's had back to back years of being one of
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: the worst kickers in the NFL, and he was so
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: good for years before that, and so I don't know
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 3: if that's just a father time came for him or what.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: So if you don't, if we don't want to say safety,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: because we just talked about that, I guess I would
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: throw out Jake Elliott. We could talk like O line depth,
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: but O line depth, like have you seen the state
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: of O lines around the NFL? That feels silly to say,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: So I'll just stick with kickers.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: I don't mind kicker at all. I think you're absolutely correct. Look,
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: it would kickers put points on the board or they
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 1: don't put points on the board. And when you're not
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: putting points on the board, like Jake Elliott has done
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: the past two seasons, there's liabilities there with that. You
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: can lose games if your kicker is unable to do
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: what he's been consistently able to do for quite some time.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: And again, like you said, it might be father time,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: uh catching up to him, but Jake Elliott is definitely concerned.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: I wonder if they're actually going to have some sort
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: of competition for him during training camp. Yeah.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: You mentioned they put points on the board or they don't.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: And over the last two seasons, twenty five percent of
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 3: the time he's walked on the field to attempt a
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 3: field goal, he hasn't put points on the board.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. Yeah, that's a big problem for sure.
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: All Right, what do you think is the biggest strength
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: on this Eagles team heading into this twenty twenty six season?
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Here, I think there's two different ways you could go here,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: and so I'll mention them both. First, I'll say the
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: pass rush, which sounds strange to say based off how
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: that played out last year. Yeah, but I think you
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: had Jalen Carter not at one hundred percent for the
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: entirety of last season, and so if his shoulders are right,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 3: that's a big boost. Morojomo outperformed my expectations. I know
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: Johnny's been really high on Ojomo for years, and he
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have Johnny was planning the flag there a long
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: time ago, and so he didn't out play Johnny's expectations,
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: but he outplayed mine. And then you go make the
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: move for Jonathan Garnard, and I think that was a
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: really good move in the draft. And so if you
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: look at Jonathan Garnard being there, who I think is
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: a good edge rusher who can also play the run,
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 3: you look at Jalen Carter being healthy rushing next tomorrow
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: Ojomo last year, I think a lot of the issues
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: with the pass rush came from the fact that Jalen
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: Carter wasn't Jalen Carter, Zach or not, Zach Bond, Jordan Goodness.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 3: The edge rushers Nolan.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Smith, yeah, Nolan Jlex Hunt, Yeah. I don't know.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I started to say Zach Bond,
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: Nolan Smith, Jalx Hunt. They're both solid edge rushers and
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: they can be really good when you've got a dominant
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: presence in the middle, and we've seen that, but we
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: didn't see it last year, and so I think that
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: was where some of the drop off there came. So
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: I think that's one and then the other one, I mean,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: the clear one is cornerback. You got Quinon Mitchell perhap,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 3: he is a top three corner, top three boundary corner
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. You have Cooper de Gene, who's the
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: best slot corner in the NFL. And then you go
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: and get Tarik Wollan, who physically can do it all. Now,
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: he will have his moments.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: It's got to be disciplined. He's got to be disciplined.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: He does, but he's the third best cornerback on this
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 3: team and he would be the best cornerback on a
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: lot of teams. So, I mean, cornerback is the slam
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: dunk cancer the Eagles cornerback room if they have an injury. Again,
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: it's pretty thin, but not many teams have three all
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: Pro potential cornerbacks starting for him.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll tell you we are lucky as fans
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: to have this team where they are at. And as
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: we've been saying during the course of this offseason, here
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: on this podcast platform. The Philadelphia Eagles are still relevant
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day. That's which want have
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: relevant team heading into a season, and they're gonna be
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: They may be able to do some really good things
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: and keep things interesting. The last thing we'd want to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: be here Jets or Browns fans at this point. So
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, buddy, it was great talking to you.
