• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a hater. It is that time of week where we
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: have a guest join us. Check him out on First
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Things First on FS1, 5 p.m.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Eastern. Danny Parkins, what's going.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: On, man? Bo... I always love hanging out with you,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: but man, we have some doozies for us today. We do,
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: we do, we do. I'm so excited to be here.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: So there are like a couple of things that are
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: going on here.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: One, New York has experienced the thaw, like the first
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: real thaw. We've had 70 degrees the last couple of days.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Changes everything, right? Time change came. We got the thaw.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: It's like everybody gets a little boost. The other thing
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: is Danny and I are both radio guys. And people
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: don't quite understand how daunting it can be, the prospect
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: of filling three or four hours of.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: A radio show.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: But there's a very special feeling that comes when it's six,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: maybe seven o'clock the night before. Maybe it goes to
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: eight or nine or whatever. But something happens and you realize, oh.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: The hay is in the barn. This show has taken
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: care of itself. I don't have to think about it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: I can just turn on the phones if I want to.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And we can just hang out for three hours. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: we have one of those sorts of days in a
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: space where we only have to fill an hour. And
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this happens because I looked down at my phone last
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: night after not having looked at it for a while.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: And I have all these texts.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: About Bam scoring 83 points, and I can't understand either A,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: who Bam is, or B, what game we're talking about
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: people playing, because there's no fucking world in which Bam
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: out of bio puts 83 points up in an NBA.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Game, but it happened, and Danny, it didn't just so happen.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Now, look, it was against the Wizards, and that part
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: is part of the story, but for people who are
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: unaware of what happened, There are important details that I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: want to make sure that you understand about how absurd
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: this was. Bam scored 83 points in a game where
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: he shot below 50%.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: From the floor, below 33% from three, but shot 43
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: free throws.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: In the history of the NBA, the guys who have
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: put up free throw attempt numbers in one game that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: are up there all have one thing in common.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Danny, you know what that is?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Tell me.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They all stink at shooting free throws.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: DeAndre Jordan.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Andre Drummond. Giannis.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Like, the people were intentionally putting them on the line. Like,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Will Chamberlain in the 100-point game. That was another part
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: of it is that they put them on the line.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: But.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: All of this added up to Bam scoring 83 points.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: It's, I too was alerted to this via the group chat.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: And unlike you, I was, I was home and I
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: got league pass. And so my ass turned it on.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: And I got to say, Bo, I think this is
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: where I've settled on it. that was the Michael Strahan
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: sack of NBA scoring accomplishments. Michael Strahan, great player, great season,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: but how he got the record kind of whack. Yeah. Like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: like not even kind of objectively whack how he got
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: the record and bam. Listen, man, he had, He's a
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: great player. He's a gold medalist.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: He's an all-star.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: He's a top 10 defensive player for a long stretch.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Great backstory. I'm happy for him. He had 43 points
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: at halftime. The last, call it six or seven minutes
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of that game, was a clown show. And I have
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: no problem with them running up the score on the
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: bum-ass Wizards. I have no problem with his teammates letting
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: him stat pad. I have no problem with going for
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: the record. It's a regular season NBA game and one
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: of the teams is tanking. I have no problem with it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But when you are intentionally fouling, literally, intentionally fouling on
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: multiple possessions to extend it when Spoh is challenging a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: charge call with four minutes left in the game to
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: hunt some extra free throws it's just it's it's a
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: little corny it's yeah it's a it's a little corny
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: how he got the record I feel like that's fair.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: I think The question is, and I think it's important
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: to note, he did not get a record.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: The modern scoring record.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: It's so funny.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Wilt is on such another level from everything that we
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: don't even count that as the record. Eventually, somebody hit
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: more home runs than Babe Ruth. Eventually somebody outscored Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Wilt,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: we're like, look, it's not even fair to compare anybody
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to Wilt on top of the fact that some of
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: y'all think that shit is made up.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We haven't seen the video. That's a big part of
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the reason.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's not simply that we haven't seen the video. It's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: just who we are now.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Right, right, right. This is what it is. But this.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I was watching on Get Up before we got in
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: here and Mike Greenberg made the point that history will
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: just remember the number and therefore this is history. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: so it ties in also to my man Neil Postman,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the author of Amusing Ourselves to Death and other books.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: And he makes the point that with the printing press
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and the ability to put down the written word, he
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: said Before the written word, there were.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: No memoirs, right?
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And so his point was that the notion of a
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: legacy came in the form of the written word and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: in the form of the printing press. And what it
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: did was give man the arrogance to believe that he
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: could live forever because he could live forever in these,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like I say, in legacy, in the things that man
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: himself has written or in the things that man has
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: written about him, right? So if you view it through
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that prism, yes, history will remember that Bam Adebayo scored
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: 83 points.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: But we will never.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Remember it in the way that we remember Kobe scoring
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: the 81. And I hate this because I don't know
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: where you are on this, but I hate Kobe Stans.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I ain't saying nothing about Kobe. I hate Kobe stands
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and buddy, they are charged up right now. Perhaps we
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: will get back to that, but I just want to
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: throw that out there. If you love a Kobe stand,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: call them, see how they doing and don't take it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: personally when they scream at you. It's about something bigger
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: than you right now. But we all remember like Kobe's 81.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: To me, the more impressive one, and we won't remember
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: it like that one, is when Kobe had 62 and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: three quarters and the Mavericks had 61, and those Mavericks
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: went to the finals that year.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Right? Kobe sat the fourth.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Like, they were this close to winning a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: championship that year. We are never.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: going to talk about this game from Bam in that way.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: But hey, cool for him, right?
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Like you got to say that you scored 83 points.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Nobody's going to take that away from you, but we
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: don't have to be fucking morons.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: We know what that was. We know what that was about.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And I agree with you that it's a little corny,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: but I want to throw this out there. And it's
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: something that I feel like is a little bit underrated
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: about professional sports.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: They are so cutthroat and guys are so petty, but.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: I'm on the list of unwritten rules, which we only
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: really talk about with somebody getting injured or it's time
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: to fight.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: One of the unwritten rules is if your opponent.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Has some sort of historic feat, close, attainable, everybody else
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is supposed to do whatever it takes to help them
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: get there, right?
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Like you don't bunt. during a no-hitter, for example. And
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I get down when that is a little bit.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Especially if the game's not close.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's a little bit janky, but if I didn't like you?
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, lay it down.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but on the other hand, that means the next
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: time you.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: See him, you're whole. 95. Earhole.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: It's coming.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: It's coming.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It's coming right there.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: But that is one of the fascinating things to me
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: is that the decision was clearly made by all parties
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: involved here that we're going to help you get it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: And to be honest, me, after he had them 30
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: in the first quarter, where the clothesline at?
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Well, so, I mean, listen, they were double teaming him
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: in the back for it. They were triple teaming him
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: at times. And like, you know, you see that like
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: entry passes, like over three dudes, like just force feeding Bam.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: Like it was hilarious. Uh, and yeah, I, I said, man,
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: I have no, no problem with his teammates trying to
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: stat pad for him. They were blowing out the wizards
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: and you should, you should blow out the wizards like that.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: That is all that, that is all fine. And I
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: know that if any of this gets clipped and they
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: hear me say the stray hand part of the whack
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: part i'll be called a hater by heat nation and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: heat culture and all that whatever that's all fine but
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: if you listen to the whole show fucking love the
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: NBA I love basketball like I already can tell I
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: already can see 24 hours in the future of like
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Kevin Durant doing something about like do you guys even
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: like basketball or do you just like complaining about basketball
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: it's like no man like Bam had 43 at half
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: he had over 60 through three that was a great
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: game and no one can take it away from him
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: and he was second now all time and he's the
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: modern scoring leader and Kobe was his favorite player and
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: And we'll tell the story of his background and everything
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that he overcame to get to where he was. Like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: that's all great. And it legitimately should be celebrated. But we,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: like you said, we're not morons. Like, we can look
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: at a sporting accomplishment and say, well, they're not all
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: created equal.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Like, they're not all created equal. I called Thunder Nuggets
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the night before on TV. I was like, that was
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: the game of the year. I had two... My wife
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: was out last night with some girlfriends. I had the
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: BAM game on. I had the... I had Celtic Spurs on. Like,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I am mainlining NBA regular season basketball. Like, I love
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: the sport. But... that wasn't hoop at the end of
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: that game. That was not a basketball game. It just wasn't.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: And that was the interesting thing about the Kobe 81
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: was that was a basketball game.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: That was a basketball game.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Like he got it.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Like I, he was, he was the only guy who
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: shot for the last like six or seven minutes of
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: that game. But, but I mean, but that's fine.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: He did that all the time. Any goddamn way.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying. It was, I watched that game too.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: It was a basketball game. The, at the end of
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: the game last night, I, I, I, Anyone who's talking
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: about it today, if you're going to do your homework,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you need to have either watched it or you need
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: to go watch the extended YouTube highlights of that game.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: It was not a basketball game. It just wasn't.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Well, also, generally speaking, any record, and I think this
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: is where to be fair to Bam, anything that is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: in that record space, somebody gunned for it to get it, right?
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: When OJ Simpson ran for 2,000 yards....
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: If there had been one more game that season, he
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: does not run for 2000 yards in 14 games because
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: they went out there in game 14 with the plan.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Of we're going to go get this record.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: The infamous David Thompson, George Girvin scoring title run. where
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: David Thompson scored something like 73, and I think Girvin
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: had to come back and get like 60 or something
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to do it after. Everybody was gunning for a number
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in order to make that happen. When Kobe got the 81,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it was, you know, again, he did that stuff anyway,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: but it was, hey, we're going to get this number
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: up as high as we can. Wilt Chamberlain, when that happened,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: But I saw, again, I was watching Get Up before
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I came in here, and Alan Hahn was making the point,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: don't talk to me right now about ethical basketball. And
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: his argument was, it wasn't ethical basketball in the Wilt
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: game because they fouled him all the time early because
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: they thought he couldn't shoot free throws. And then they
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: were doing everything they could to stop him from getting baskets.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that makes the Wilt feet even more impressive, right?
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: They thought, well, he can't shoot free throws.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: That'll do it. And he was on fire that day.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And so, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, right?
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: The Wilt feet, Like I say, there's a reason why
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: we just talk about everything else in this. This, however,
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: was simply not one of the great scoring performances of
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: all time.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: It was a great way to spend an evening, apparently. Oh, yeah.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: It was a great ending of it.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It was a very Miami situation. A really good, ultimately
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: superficial and insignificant good time.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Right? Yeah, I should have made that point earlier. Dude,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: I was laughing my ass off watching it. Like, I'm not, like,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: offended by it. But it was just like, oh, you
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: kind of see what's going on here.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, like, this was not.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: We've had so many people score 70 points lately.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: But at least it all felt like, this is crazy,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: it all felt like they were on fire. I can't
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: imagine as a basketball team, even with some of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: fouls being intentional, we get to the early part, how
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: y'all so sorry y'all put Bam on the line 43 times?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: They are the worst defense in the NBA, and it showed. Yeah,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, but, oh my God, and I was watching
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: them out there. They mailed in on that game early. Like,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: I can't imagine how much it sucks to be a
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Washington Wizard. They mailed that shit in. They're just like, look, man,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: we just be out here Like we just, we just play,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Just, just going out. It was like with the press
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: conference with Russ, a couple of games back in Sacramento.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: It was like, what do you, what's your incentive to
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: go out for, you know, the last 15 games, just
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: winning games, whatever it was. And he's like, Well, I mean,
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: there's a basketball game to be played.
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: But see, the difference is Russ is a professional.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: That's right. No, he may play hard. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: These guys are just.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: Out here like, I don't even know, man. Like, what
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: are we doing here? But I'm going to throw another
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: game out here. And this is where you and I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: have just enough of an age difference that I don't
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: know if you remember this. But do you remember when
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: David Robinson put up, I think it was 71 in 1995?
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because he was the first guy to do it.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: It was.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It was Wilt and Elgin, and then he became the
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: third guy ever to do it.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Well, he was the David Thompson.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: He was the first one since David Thompson in the
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: scoring title race. But the thing about the game was,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: it was the last game of the season. They were
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: playing against the Clippers at the old LA Sports Arena.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: And Shaq, who had already invented reasons to dislike David Robinson,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: was poised to win the scoring title. Until the Spurs
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: decided they wanted David Robinson to win the scoring title,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and they were up big and fouling late so that
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: they could get the ball back and everything else. And
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: even with the fact that it was the first in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: however long, as you described it, we have never treated
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: that as one of the great scoring performances of all time.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: We have never thought about that the way we thought
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: about MJ's 69 against, I think it or the 63
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: against the Celtics because we understood the context and we
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: knew what it was. That doesn't mean, again, that anybody
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: has to apologize for the fact that they enjoyed watching it.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: But you're not, I don't have to treat this like
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it was a, it was, you know what? I feel
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: like we need to come up with a distinction between
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: history and a record.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Like remember when Devin Booker had that 70 points in
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: the bubble? And that was before the 70-point run that's happened, right?
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Lucas hit for 70 since then. Donovan Mitchell's hit from 70.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Nobody remembers Devin Booker scoring 70. We know that Devin
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Booker did it, right? The Lucas 70, we know he
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: did it, but they are not history.
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: Right, and there is a.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: This is all parsing greatness, but that's what we do
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: when we talk about sports. We debate useless shit.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Right, but was this... I think it's fair to ask
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: if this was great.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Is it a great scoring performance when you're 20 for
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: 43 from the floor and seven for 22 from three?
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Is that great? And you said you, you, you made
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: more free throws than anyone in the history of basketball
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: and you attempted more free throws than anyone in the
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: history of basketball. Like it is again, like if it's
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: not greatness, it's what, I mean, he still scored 83
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: points in a professional basket.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Hell of a night.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: Right. So is it, so are, is it, but the, the,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is great is a great night greatness.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's it i mean i guess that's a good
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: like so one that i was thinking about was uh
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: you remember when clay thompson i forget if he was
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: 61 or 62 yeah.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: With the with the like four dribbles or.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Whatever yeah in 29 minutes yes it was like wait
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: it was like what yeah that was nuts that that
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: was nuts like like like that That is more greatness
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: than what Bam did last night, and he scored 22
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: fewer points.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Look, that's what you think is going to happen, or
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: has happened if somebody says somebody scored 83 points.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: It's something like that.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: That's right. Because, again, I was watching both games last night, and,
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: you know, Tirico is doing the– and the NBC, like
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: the main NBC crew were doing– the spurs celtics game
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: and so like they're like during the fourth quarter of
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: that game like they're talking about bam and uh i
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: think yeah it's reggie miller and and reggie's like he's
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: like someone's gonna get a hundred and i'm like i
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: don't know it's been a long time it's been a
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: long time we've had this three-point thing for a while
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: and you could question the narrator or the messenger there
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: of Reggie Miller. And I certainly have plenty of issues
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: with this commentary, but like, yeah, it felt, it feels
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: like we have, we have bad defense. We have bad teams.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: We have tanking. We're going to see teams overtly tank
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: as hard as they possibly can. And the three point
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: shot is like, why can't someone hit 20 threes.
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: In a game?
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: That's coming.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: That's come. I, I, that, that is coming at some
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: point and we'll have to reckon with it.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: I don't consider myself to be no kind of hater
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, but I'll, kidney punch you first.
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: All right there's just no there's just there's just no
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: like i just i just can't i just can't abide
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: by um i have been accused at points in my
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: life of taking myself too seriously and i don't think
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: i take myself too seriously but i tell you this
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: right now i ain't no joke you know what i'm
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: saying like this is not like the wizards somebody got to.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Come out here and just decide they've had enough yeah
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of course every now and then somebody has a moment
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: where they decide they've had enough and it goes too
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: far do you remember that time that deandre jordan dunked
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: on brandon knight so bad that he knocked him out
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the sky But it was entirely Brandon Knight trying to
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: prove that the Pistons wasn't no joke. And it turned
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: out they were a riot, in fact. They were uproarious,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: if we're being perfectly honest.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: But I wouldn't have said none of this last night.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I'd have done nothing to take away from his joy. Like,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: he should feel like he scored 83 points.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: That being said, I have to get back to this
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: Kobe Stanton thing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: Please.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you have seen the tweets from
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: the Kobe stands.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I have.
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: You know, the algorithm is. Yeah.
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Pumping out that rage.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: It sure is. I've seen it all, though.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: They are furious. This is amazing.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: I read it in the Windhorse story. I didn't see
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: this yet, but they booed.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: They booed.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: They booed at crypto last night? That's amazing.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: They booed.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: I would actually love to know what Kobe would passive-aggressively
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: snidely say about this if.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He were here.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Only took me 20 free throws.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: You know, there's a way to, like, just, but this
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: is Kobe State. Like, the memory of Kobe is so important, obviously, right?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Kobe passing, you know, contributes significantly.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Or adds to it. But I've seen people imply that
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: there was a conspiracy to just keep sending Bam to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: the line to give this record or whatever. No, this
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: is just.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: A lot of weird stuff came together at the same
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: time to create this moment.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Do you think we will now like... Because this got celebrated.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, LeBron, KD... Giannis, I saw the who's who
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: of NBA greatness immediately throw their arms around this. And again,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Bam is a likable dude. Their teammate on Team USA,
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: great backstory, all that stuff. Do you think we're going to, like,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: we got 15 games left, 18 games left, depending on
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: the team. in a regular season where about a third
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: of the league is tanking.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Will somebody try it?
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If, if, if, if how, if what happened last
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: night is celebrated and it's just like immediately embraced, you,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: you just Google, I do. I Googled Bama out of
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: bio today, just before we came on just to like,
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: you know, top five headlines, some straight news stories like recap.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: He scores 83 Miami star scores 83. Then the other three,
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: the other three that come up of the five, Bam
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: Adebayo scores 83 points. Stop complaining about free throws and
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: just appreciate greatness. Celebrate Bam Adebayo's 83-point game. Don't debate
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: its merits. Bam Adebayo rode free throws to 83 points,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: but there's little shame in it. Everyone is just immediately...
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: There is a concerted effort.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I think it is in part to the pushback of
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the tendency post-All-Star or around All-Star every year.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: To talk about what's wrong, right? And that's what I.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Alluded to with the KD thing of like, but I
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: promise you, you can love basketball and still debate these
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: things on its merits.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like this was a wild shit.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: This was a wild shit. This was a wild shit.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Bam out of bio averages four and a half free
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: throws a game. Last night he shot 43. Yes, yeah.
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: You know what?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: This would actually be better if Bam wasn't so good. Like,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: if this is somebody like.
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: If Kobe White... Yeah, exactly. Right?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Because then it becomes more of a Rudy story.
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And then nobody says anything bad about it because it's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: just good for him.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It'll never be like this again. Da-da-da. Whatever.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Not hot.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Like, Bam got a girlfriend we like. He got gold medals.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? He went to Kentucky. Like,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: this is not... Yeah, it doesn't... There's a world in
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: which it feels a little better and a little different,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: but no, I'm with you.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get me on a, you just
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: hate the NBA because all those people that do that,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: what my response is, but you know, I don't hate
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: the NBA.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: So now what?
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And then they don't have anything to respond.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: To, right?
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Like it is straw man construction in large part.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And I also think like writing something that jumps out
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: preemptively telling people not to dislike it.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you this too. Kobe fans will come,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: they put your car on blocks. They don't care. Like,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you gonna tell them not to do this? Like, no, no, no.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: And Kobe's 81 is still gonna be.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Kobe's 81 gonna be like for old white people what
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Babe Ruth 714 was. Like, yeah, I heard somebody broke
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: that shit, but 714, boy, it got a ring to it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't like to be lumped with the
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: old whites, but I kind of agree.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Well, no, I'll put it like this.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: How many people know how many home runs Barry Bonds
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: finished with?
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: More people know... I bet you it's 762, but I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: bet you more people know 755.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: Yep, exactly. Than they know 762. Like, you know, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: I think that is probably what's going to happen.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: But no, he'll... Look, it's not... The other thing about
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: this too is you can put together a highlight package
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: that then becomes the defining memory because... I don't know
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: if you remember the worst officiated game in the history
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: of American professional sports, but in the 1997 National League
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Championship Series, Levon Hernandez, I believe, I can't remember if
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: it was 15 or 17 strikeouts, where all he had
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: to do was throw the ball in the motherfucking stadium.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: And Eric Gregg was just punching him up, right? Just
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: going for it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: And they made a 30 for 30 about the Hernandez brothers,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: Levon and El Duque.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: And I went to the premiere of that. It was
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: in Miami.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And, you know, it was super Cuban in there, right?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: So I'm just surrounded by all these people who think
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: this moment for Levon is historic. And me, Braves fan,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: is seething in furies. I'm hating every minute of it.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: But I watched the way they chopped that up, man.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: You would never know it was cheap.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Movement on those pitches, guys were chasing.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you never know what they was cheating for
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: the way they chopped that up. So you chop up 83,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying?
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: You can turn it into a thing.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: And again, 43 in the first half.
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: That is something.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Again, it hit my group chat of NBA fan friends
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: at halftime. Like, you know what I mean? It was
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a great night. that got greatly ridiculous. Both can be true.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: We can speak truth to both parts of the story.
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: I'll also tell you this.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: There was a little short stretch of time about 10,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: 12 years ago where Phil Jackson and I were Twitter buddies.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: Nice.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And he made a point to me about Kobe and
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Kobe taking all that shots and was like, let's just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: say the number was 40. He's just basically like, let
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: me tell you something. What's really hard to do to
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: take 40 shots like the effort it takes to simply
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: put up 40 shots bam put up 40 shots and
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: 40 free throws right that you know what that's like
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: that's like playing 36 holes of golf and everybody who
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: thinks that golf don't take no effort and golf ain't
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: hard work go out there swing that club 150 times.
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's if you're good. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: and walk the eight miles.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: And be outdoors and in the sun and all that stuff. Yeah, no,
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: like absolutely right. Now, we hold professional athletes to the
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: standard of being able to do it, but I'm quite
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: sure that Bam was tired after that game.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, there's a lot of dudes in the
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: league that could not put up 40 shots if it
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: came to it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: It is a thing. Absolutely. But coming up next.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: You guys may have heard that the Max Crosby trade

• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Raiders sold the Ravens a lemon.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, the Ravens generally knew the Carfax
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: on Matt Crosby.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: And let's be honest.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: 29 years old, coming off a meniscus tear, trained two
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: first-round picks, which sounds like was more than anybody else
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: was offering, was a lot to throw out there. Apparently,
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: just so I can set it up for the people,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Crosby gets to the Ravens. They do the physical, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: they decide that he a little too dinged up. They
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: still had their receipt, and so they returned Max Crosby
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: to sender.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Now there's been a lot of discussion around sending Max
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Crosby back to sender the ethics of it from the Ravens.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I am curious where you fall on that.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, if you, if you traded two first round
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: picks for somebody and then you do your medicals and
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: you think that he, the medicals don't look good to you.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: Like that, that's within the, it's within the rules. Yes.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: You know, like if it was, My team was rich.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: Rich Eisen said the bears also offered two first round picks.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: And like, if, if they got, if they, the bears
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: did it a couple of years ago and I was
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: a free agent. They signed Larry Ogunjobi to a big deal.
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: And then he flunked his physical and they took away
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: is like 40 million bucks that they gave to this
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: defensive tackle. And Larry Ogunjobi never had a good year,
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: the rest of his career. And I'm like really glad
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: that my team didn't, you know, throw, you know, good
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: money after bad. So like it's within the right, They
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: can do it. But what I think is very fishy
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: about this is no one was ever claiming that Max
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Crosby was cleared to play if there was a football
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: game tomorrow. He had knee surgery. The Raiders shut him
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: down at the end of last year. Now, Crosby was
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: reportedly furious about that because he wanted to play through it.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: And this is a meniscus, not a full ACL reconstruction
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: or anything like that. So you can grind it out
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: and play through. But he had knee surgery within the
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: last few months. No one is claiming that if there
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: was a football game tomorrow, he could play. The question is,
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: is he on track to fully recover from this? The
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Raiders say yes. The Ravens evidently say no. But you
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: traded for a dude coming off knee surgery who hasn't been– Right.
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Who has not been cleared to play. So like you
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: knew that when you traded for him. So is it
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: within the rules? Yes. But is it, it it's beyond fishy.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: And I would be furious if I were the Raiders.
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: And I can period next paragraph this. I said on
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: Monday after the trade to brew, who's a Ravens guy.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: I was like, this is an overpay. Like historically it's
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: an overpay. All of the, of multiple first-round picks for non-quarterbacks.
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: Sauce Gardner, Micah Parsons, Laramie Tunsil, Jalen Ramsey, Khalil Mack.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: All of those guys are 25, 26 years old. And
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: Max Crosby's 29 coming off of knee surgery. So it
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: was an incredibly risky trade just based on the age
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: of Crosby. So now to flunk his physical, and if
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: they turn around and sign Trey Hendrickson, boy, the league
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: is going to be furious. Well.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: What if I told you that the news you could
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: use that I teased for you earlier.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, no.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Four years, $ 112 billion.
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: Trey Hendrickson to the Ravens.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Oh, no way. Is that real?
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: Yes, I was sitting here the whole way letting you
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: set up the fish case and I was going to
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: be like, well, what if I told you?
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: Oh my God.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: Dude, look, man, let me tell you this.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: As somebody who has taken a job and then turned
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: it down because something else.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Happened, right? I know exactly what happened here.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: They were like, You don't say, huh?
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: But, oh, wow. Okay, well, I mean, that is... Listen. Like,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, hilarious for having no dog in the fight
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: for rooting for it, but, like, that absolutely needs to
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: be investigated. You can't do that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But the trade isn't official, so you can always turn
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: back around. Like, sometimes people just got to be mad
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: at you.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, sure. Sure.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: But....
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: If you want people to do business with you in
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: the future.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: I fully agree with you. It's a bad way to
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: play it.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: You'll never do a deal with Max Crosby's agent ever again.
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: You might never do a deal with the Ravens again.
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Because if you are getting out of it through the
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: prism of, well, he flunked his physical... But that's not
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: the actual thing. That's bad business, man. Business ethics.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: That's an F.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, is there a sliding scale
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: on physicals? And what I mean by that is what
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: has happened in the past in different sports is the
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: physical has been failed and then the terms of the
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: trade change.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: So you could say with the physical being this, maybe
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it's one first round pick instead of two. The Ravens,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I think what is most suspicious is that the Ravens completely.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Bailed, it sounds like.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: I have not read anything or seen anything that implies
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: that there was an attempt at a renegotiation, which is
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: something that was on the board. They got out and instead,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: in free agency, signed damn near the same player.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, a couple years older, but not coming
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: off of meniscus. But not coming off of meniscus surgery.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: That is wild. And yeah, listen, the point of like
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: sometimes people just have to be mad at you because
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: you have to operate in self-interest is a very like
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: real practical, like you are objectively correct. And like, would
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I do something that would make me unpopular if it
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: was for the betterment? of my wife and kids, like, obviously. But, like,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: this is breaking with a lot of precedent, man. It's
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: not how you do it. The trade is not official
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: until the new league year starts. So, yes, you can
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: rescind it. Yes, you're allowed to rescind it for a physical.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: But to then turn around also before the new league
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: year starts, like, the things are obviously connected. Like, no
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: one is going to be able to conclude that the
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: Ravens just found themselves having interest in Trey Hendrickson after
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: the Crosby– After they failed him on the physical, they're
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: going to everyone is going to say, my guess is correctly. Oh,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: we realized we could just get this dude for just
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: money and keep our picks. And then they went ahead
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: and did it. Yeah.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: And by the way, the whole league was furious immediately.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Nobody in the league entertained the possibility. It's from all
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: the stuff that we're seeing from reporters. that the entire league,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: which tells me, apparently, Baltimore have been out here living.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: Janky in other ways, right?
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Like, I mean, just Lockham 4 came out there and
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: just said, basically, that they have a fraud of a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: general manager.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Or, like, you know, the people that are running this,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: this is, they are being, and this is after everybody
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: had always.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Had so much positive to say about them, right? Like,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: we have seen them as a model organization. Diana Rossini,
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: by the way, sent the tweet. I'm going to read
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: it word for word. It's been made clear by multiple
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: people around the NFL at all levels that Baltimore had
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: all the information and understood where Max Crosby's knee was
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: in terms of his recovery timeline. Many in the league
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: believe GM Eric DaCosta and the Ravens ultimately just got
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: cold feet.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's janky, man. Ain't no way around it.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. That is going to be... It's not the
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: exact same as the Chris Paul trade when the league
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: stepped in, but it's like, whew, that.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: That smells yeah like that that like there's something going
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: on there and it just doesn't sit right with you
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: uh that doesn't sit right with me at all and
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: i have to like take a little bit of a
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: moment here to put my finger on it but like
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: it's just basically like.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: You it's dishonest it's yeah it's.
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: Dishonest and like trey hendrickson was also available when you
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: traded for max crosby Like what new piece of information
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: could there really be? Like you got a world renowned surgeon.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: It's a minor surgery. Like he's got the best work
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: ethic of like everyone's like, well, Max Crosby, he's the
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: edge rusher who doesn't come off the field. He plays
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: all three downs. His character is this, his motor is this,
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: his locker room. Like he's like, is there any doubt
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: that Max Crosby is going to recover from a meniscus cleanup? Like,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I just, I don't know. That is a, That is
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: a wild way to do business, man.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Well, also, do you call Trey Hendrickson or does Trey
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Hendrickson call you? Like, at what point in the process
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: did that really get going? Because, I mean, I just
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: don't believe that out of nowhere at the end they
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: call Trey Hendrickson. Was it a matter of you've made
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: this trade and then somehow you wind up on the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: phone with Trey Hendrickson and now you believe that that
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: is attainable and you're like, ugh.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: But, like, Trey Hendrickson, we have known Trey Hendrickson was
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: going to be available this offseason.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but they didn't know they was going to get him. Yeah,
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: but they didn't know they was going to get him.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: No, they did not.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: And maybe that's it. Like, I don't know.
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: Like, there are moving parts here that are just, like,
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: in the end, nobody's going to care, right?
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Sure.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: But it's such a great in-the-moment story, right? Just, like,
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: how in the world? This was the biggest story coming
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: off the weekend. Trades being rescinded, generally, are a great topic.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: This is different, though, because it was a guy getting
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: traded for picks, and we know that guy is not
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: still going to be there. I was in Houston with
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: the all-time rescinded trade when the Rockets traded Robert Ori
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: to Detroit for Sean Elliott, and Sean Elliott failed to
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: physical because of a kidney situation, and then Ori had
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: to come back.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: Like we don't really got one of those.
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: We like, I listen, I mean, the Raiders also spent
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: a grip load of money in free agency and like
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: cap ramifications. And, you know, they, they, they were like,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: we are going to, you know, we're going to sign
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: Naylor from Minnesota, obviously Linderbaum from Baltimore. We're going to
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: sign a Kobe Dean on defense. We're going to, and
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: we have the 14th pick and all of a sudden
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: new coach you like, 60% of your offensive line. You
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: got your tight end. You got your running back. You're
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: bringing in a quarterback. Like, this blows up their whole plan. Like,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: who does Max Crosby play for this year? We just
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: know it ain't the Raiders. Say again?
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: We just know it ain't the Raiders.
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: It seems impossible for him to go back. But if
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: you're going to trade Max Crosby for two firsts, and
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: one of those firsts is the 14th pick in the draft, like,
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: that is a premium draft asset.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: They ain't getting that.
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. But, like, bargain, like, Is he going
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: for a second round pick now?
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: I think like maybe like a one and a three.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Okay. I mean, I guess, but if he go, if
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: he gets traded for a premium hall like that, which
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: is still a lot of draft capital and the other
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: team has no problem passing him on his physical, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: just don't know how the Ravens come out. Like they're
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: going to have some tough questions to answer, man. They're
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: going to have, they're going to have some good, like, Again,
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: he should not be, he is not cleared to play football.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: You traded for a player who is off crutches, who
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: is off surgery, who should not be able to play.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: How can you fail him on his physical? You can't
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: be like, well, he couldn't run the 40 or he
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: couldn't do the three cone drill. Like he's recovering from surgery.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: His surgeon says he's good to go. What are we
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: talking about here? That's very weird to me, man.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, there's nothing like when people just thank you, Chanky. Yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: Ain't nobody going to try to talk to you to
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: come by next year.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: And listen, again, you're right. You have to operate in
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: your own self-interest. But that is that is dirty pool, man. No, no.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: There's nothing quite like, though, when you understand something might
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: be dirty pool and you're like.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: But I do it.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You got to make the.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: Call and you're like, hey, so about that. Yeah, no. Yeah. Hey, hey.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: You're making some fair points.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: You're making it worse, man. You know, like, hey, just
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: let me finish. Just let me finish, and then you
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: can say whatever you want.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: And then I will listen.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: And then we'll hang up the phone, and I don't
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: expect for us to talk again for a long time. Yeah,
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: it'd be a whole lot. Are you right? You're right.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: That's fair.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: No, no.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I hear you.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: No, that's a good point.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Look, nobody's saying you're wrong here. I understand where you're
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: coming from. I would feel the exact same way. I
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: just had to do it. Hopefully one day you'll understand.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's got to be like that sometimes.
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: You know how it is.
• 45:07
  Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness gracious.
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: We were talking about this the other day.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: It's going to be such an interesting NFL season because
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: it's wide open.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Everything everywhere feels wide open. Like even, and you think about.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: The NFC on one hand, Superbowl champions loaded on the
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: other hand, the quarterback, Sam Donald's still on the board.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, You know, I got one more for you.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: How about, what would come up for Trey Hendrickson?
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Yes!
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson gets to stay in the AFC North and
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: stick it to Cincinnati, who he feels like have, like, underpaid.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: So all I have to do is have more sacks
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: over the last three years than, like, micah parsons and
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: aiden hutchinson and you cheap bastards are only willing to
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: pay me a year at a time yes and like
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: a crown jewel until this organization in the league decided
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: at 30 whatever years old 31 32 years old i
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: was worth 112 million dollars like he is going to
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: do he is gonna his 15 yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: when he sacks joe burrow is going to be earned look.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: Man he was like i've been I've been playing for
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: the Spirit Airlines of the NFL.
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: Right now, this is what a real airline feels like, huh?
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: Ain't that something?
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. So, sorry, I just had to get one
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: more off there. But no, to the wide open point,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: I think one of the cool things about this upcoming season,
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: and it's the NFL, there's always a million great storylines,
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: but as we sit here in the second week of March,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of teams are all in. Like, Baltimore doing
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: this is like an all-in move. Buffalo doing the DJ
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: Moore thing is a let's-push-our-chips-in move. The Rams just– they've
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: made one first-round draft pick in the last, like, literally
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: eight drafts. Yeah. Hit it out of the park with
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: the Jared Verse pick, but they're like, oh, we need
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: to rebuild our secondary? No problem. We'll do that in
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: one offseason. Trade first-round pick. Biggest contract ever for a cornerback.
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: Sign a couple more DBs. Got a 38-year-old quarterback, so
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: F it. Let's go all in. The Steelers, it looks like,
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: are going to run it back with Rodgers, which is ridiculous,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: but whatever. It's just a lot of teams that are
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: pushing chips into the middle to go try to win
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: this Super Bowl because Lamar's never been to one. Josh
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: has never been to one. stafford's year to year so
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: i think that component of it and those are three
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: of the the rams are the favorite and the ravens
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: and the bills are the two favorite the two of
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: the top five favorites of the super the the biggest
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: super bowl favorites are hemorrhaging or mortgaging a lot of
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: their future for this year which i think is just
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: always adds like a degree of uh excitement and like
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: it makes whichever whatever They all can't win the Super Bowl.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: So whichever one loses, it makes it that much more painful.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: It is also an interesting year because the quarterback draft
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: situation isn't really strong.
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: And so we are seeing at least what feels to me,
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I guess I'm operating anecdotally here, but more movement from
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: I quarterbacks. that aren't that easy to come by. Like
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I quarterback. There ain't a lot of I
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: quarterbacks that are really out here, right? Like what happened
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: with Atlanta, wherever Kyle, like I say, I think people
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: should be fighting to go get Kyler Murray. Like looking
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: at what's available and where people are standing. If Daniel Jones,
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: they can get 50 million in the culture. Like you'll
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: have to settle for 37. There's a lot of money
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: out there to be made. This is like a kind
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: of sort of regular dude out there. Like everybody's trying something.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: The dolphins are trying something.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: With Malik Willis. Like everybody is giving something a go.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: I will be floored if Kyler Murray isn't a Viking. Like,
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: that one just makes too much sense to me. J.J. McCarthy,
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: you know, you'll trade him and swing and a miss.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Like, I don't understand what the Cardinals are doing.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: Like, what is the likelihood that the Cardinals are going
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: to wind up with a quarterback better than Murray?
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, next year, zero. Yeah. yeah yeah next year
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: zero and I mean you hired what Mike LaFleur you
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: have some nice pieces on offense um yeah I mean
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: I listen I They chose Jacoby Brissett over Kyler. They did.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: Down the stretch of last year, and it looks like
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: Jacoby's going to get to run it back. Yeah.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: Jacoby, he is the replacement player, right? He is the
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: definition of the replacement quarterback.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: We talked about this on the show about Kyler going
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: to the Vikings, where I think that should be where
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: he goes. But good gracious, don't you want a quarterback
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: somebody likes?
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, probably. But don't you want a quarterback that's like,
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: If you just give them, who cares if you like them?
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: If you just give them decent quarterback play.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're Super Bowl contender.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Right, you're right about that.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Look, they went from a bad quarterback, a bad quarterback
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: that nobody likes to a good quarterback that nobody likes if.
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: They make the move to Murray. Right.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: I'll take that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: No question. It's the move.
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: Like two years ago, they won 14 games with Sam Darnold.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: Like Brian Flores, because of reasons- can't get a head
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: coaching job. So he's just there still with a top
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: defense in the NFL, like with, with Justin Jefferson, with
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: that coach, like they, they, they have to, they have
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: to make that.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: Well, I'd say this people must really like Kevin O'Connell
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: because if you got Brian Flores, JJ McCarthy and Kyler Murray,
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: like somebody's got to like somebody in this building.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: Good gracious.
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. That's true.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: Damn. Like, like they just, they just bottom line. It's
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a bottom line oriented operation over there.
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: That is an excellent point.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: Do you think.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: And I know we've talked a little bit about Mendoza
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: in the past. It's all of a sudden not a
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: terrible situation to go to?
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: On one hand, you are correct. On the other hand,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: it's still the Raiders.
• 51:19
  Speaker 3: Still the Raiders.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: And it's a lot of weird stuff going on over
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: there still.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: No doubt. But all of a sudden, it's like, okay...
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: You just signed, you know, top two or three center
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: in football. Got a good left tackle. Got one good guard.
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: Got a good running back. Got a good tight end.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Got an offensive– Got an excellent tight end.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, best tight end in football. Got an
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: offensive head coach who's a play caller who just did
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: his thing with Darnold. Like, the team's not going to
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: be good– But the goal is if you're going to
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: draft a quarterback number one overall and play him immediately,
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: that you have to at least be putting him into
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: a situation where you can get a fair evaluation of him.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: I think that offense, we've seen situations that are worse.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they can find a way to not
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: have to play him immediately, to be honest. I would
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: have kept Geno if I were in their situation, to
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: That's the thing, right? After you lose Geno, I don't know... Yeah. Cousins,
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: I guess. I don't know. I don't know who you
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: play over the number one pick when he's a pro style,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: you know, 22, 23 year old kid by the time
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: of next year comes around. Like I just, I'll be,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: I think he's going to be a week one.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: I think you're right.
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, they, they should be two games better just
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: because what they were doing last year is not what
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: they were doing this year. Like it was full on chaos.
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: Over there.
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: Now, some of the chaos is gone because Pete was
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: a cause of some of the chaos with his son
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: coaching the offensive line, the Jim Kelly situation, right? But
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: the other part of the chaos is Tom Brady and
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero and whatever they do with that operation.
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's still a story. It's still a, and you're right,
• 53:10
  Speaker 3: it's still the Raiders, but I just feel like Fernando
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: Mendoza likes his situation now Better, yes. Better than he
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: did when the college football season ended. Yes.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: I also just want to remind people right fast about
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Alex Guerrero. And Alex Guerrero is Tom Brady's medicine man.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: But let us not forget this.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: In 2005, Guerrero was sanctioned by the United States Federal
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Trade Commission for falsely presenting himself as a doctor. and
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: claiming to be able to cure cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, arthritis,
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: and Parkinson's disease using a dietary supplement called Supreme Greens.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: That's from the wiki, and that happened. That's the man
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: behind TB12.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Man, people will really buy into anything.
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, man, pliability, pliability. I guess that's what they figured out, man.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: But that is Danny Parkins. Check him out. First things first,

• 54:25
  Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: This is it.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: Like, no, we don't need a seven-minute block to try
• 54:30
