Transcript
- 0:23Speaker 1: Good evening. Everybody, welcome to another ditch of little sports.
- 0:26Speaker 1: E jan great first show, the for No Limits can.
- 0:29Speaker 1: He wants you to give everybody review what we did
- 0:31Speaker 1: in the first hour.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We debuted the first of our series on CTE with
- 0:38Speaker 2: a former US Olympic Bob Slutter, and he was talking
- 0:42Speaker 2: about hyperbaric Chamber CTE.
- 0:46Speaker 3: Lots of good stuff to come first of the series,
- 0:50Speaker 3: so that was what we started with previous.
- 0:54Speaker 1: So here we are Sports Exchange or please welcome Tom
- 0:57Speaker 1: Shanna and he'll be on here a couple of times
- 0:59Speaker 1: a month. He likes to talk about basketball, college in particular,
- 1:03Speaker 1: as well as pro and college football, so glad to
- 1:06Speaker 1: have Shanny on here as well. He'll obviously have his
- 1:09Speaker 1: own segment at the end, just like fund the Fun
- 1:11Speaker 1: it called the Shanahan Report for everybody out there. When
- 1:15Speaker 1: he talks about college football, he's the one individual that
- 1:19Speaker 1: knows an awful lot more about this game than more
- 1:21Speaker 1: than I'll ever know. So if that said, let's get
- 1:23Speaker 1: this thing going. The Detroit Tigers defeated in the Santel
- 1:25Speaker 1: Mariners nine to three today to force the game five out.
- 1:28Speaker 1: West Mauraders actually left all star Brian woo off the
- 1:34Speaker 1: Alds roster due to a peck injury. Move forward with
- 1:40Speaker 1: George Kirby and Lewis Castillo. So, George, give me a
- 1:42Speaker 1: report about what you saw at least yesterday and then
- 1:45Speaker 1: what you probably watched today from Comerica Park.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Yes, thank these guys. It's a pleasure to be out there.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Yesterday it was a terrible situation with the rain and
- 1:54Speaker 4: waiting and waiting. I felt sorry, but that's just part
- 1:57Speaker 4: of baseball in the autumn. You know, the Angela was
- 2:01Speaker 4: over two hours in Detroit. But Tigers were really outclassed.
- 2:04Speaker 4: They were out manned last night. They did not play
- 2:07Speaker 4: a good game by any stretch. The hitters were flailing
- 2:11Speaker 4: at pitchers, a lot of strikeouts. The Tigers have had
- 2:15Speaker 4: a difficult time in the last month or so that
- 2:18Speaker 4: most of you know in regards to run production. The
- 2:22Speaker 4: bullpen has been a little suspect. I mean, they're better
- 2:25Speaker 4: than average, but they're not a great bullpen. But last
- 2:28Speaker 4: night Seattle was kicking out on all heels. Man, they
- 2:31Speaker 4: were really banging that ball, and I'll tell you what,
- 2:34Speaker 4: you know, Tigers had nothing to match it. Yeah, they
- 2:36Speaker 4: showed up in the ninth inning Detroit and got a
- 2:38Speaker 4: couple of runs there, but that was about all they did.
- 2:44Speaker 4: And then of course today, okay, so they had to
- 2:46Speaker 4: come back right away. In fact, it started at three
- 2:48Speaker 4: litt left of three o'clock Eastern time, as you guys know.
- 2:51Speaker 4: And then they came out today and they didn't really
- 2:54Speaker 4: look too good. I mean, the first three or four innings,
- 2:56Speaker 4: the Tigers again had no run productions, were getting angry.
- 3:01Speaker 4: There were some booze that were heard today and quite
- 3:04Speaker 4: a few last night. But the fact of the matter
- 3:07Speaker 4: was is that something clicks, something woke this team up.
- 3:11Speaker 4: You talk about that that that sleeping giant. Well today
- 3:14Speaker 4: you know, uh three I'm sorry, three runs in the
- 3:17Speaker 4: fifth and then another fourth spot in the sixth, and
- 3:21Speaker 4: so the Tigers grabbed that lead, uh seven to two,
- 3:24Speaker 4: seven to three at that time, and the hitting came alive.
- 3:27Speaker 4: I mean, guys like Torres and and and Riley Green
- 3:31Speaker 4: and and uh Biaz had another great game today batting wise,
- 3:36Speaker 4: and they got good pitching. So they put it all together.
- 3:39Speaker 4: So the so the bottom line is a nine three
- 3:42Speaker 4: victory for Detroit and now they're going to go to
- 3:44Speaker 4: a game five winner take all Friday. I'm sorry they
- 3:48Speaker 4: skip a day. I'm sorry. Uh yeah, it'll be It'll.
- 3:52Speaker 5: Be a job Thursday, George Friday.
- 3:56Speaker 4: It is Friday. Thank you, Thank you Scott.
- 3:57Speaker 5: For the I know, I know, I know. You don't
- 4:01Speaker 5: leave Michigan offense.
- 4:02Speaker 1: You don't worry about jet black anyways, but days ago
- 4:05Speaker 1: the West you generally have to do it. So well,
- 4:08Speaker 1: that's that, that's where Tigers report fucking by the southward
- 4:11Speaker 1: of tribute.
- 4:13Speaker 5: So let's get to the agenda.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Tonight shows what could have been the Chicago Bulls dynasty
- 4:17Speaker 1: of the nineteen nineties.
- 4:18Speaker 5: We're going to get to that in the moment. But anyways, well.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Let's talk about what took place recently with Duke men's basketball.
- 4:25Speaker 1: Tommy that they've agreed to a new six year deal
- 4:27Speaker 1: with men's basketball coach John Shire. They give him two
- 4:30Speaker 1: additional years through the twenty thirty thirty one season.
- 4:33Speaker 5: What are your thoughts about Duke royding mister Shire.
- 4:37Speaker 6: What's amazing about Shire is he's picked up right where
- 4:41Speaker 6: coach k left off. There's been no no drop off
- 4:44Speaker 6: in the recruiting. They're still getting the number one and
- 4:48Speaker 6: number two top recruits in the country. And you know,
- 4:52Speaker 6: a lot of times you see players shy away when
- 4:56Speaker 6: the legend leaves, and that's just not happened to Duke.
- 5:00Speaker 6: Shire had been on the bench for a long time
- 5:02Speaker 6: as an assistant coach, and he's made that transition. He
- 5:08Speaker 6: was actually involved with a lot of the recruits that
- 5:11Speaker 6: came in the previous years. So whatever connection you would
- 5:16Speaker 6: have thought would have been lost without coach K's magnet, magnetic.
- 5:20Speaker 7: Name, there's nothing to it.
- 5:23Speaker 6: Shire has just picked up right where Coach k left
- 5:26Speaker 6: off with as many, if not more, top recruits.
- 5:31Speaker 5: Cady, what are you talking about?
- 5:32Speaker 1: The contract that Shire and get continuity is what they want.
- 5:36Speaker 1: They haven't and have a first class coach. We were
- 5:39Speaker 1: at the de campus. That was pretty heat going over
- 5:42Speaker 1: to their facilities Canon Door Stadium.
- 5:46Speaker 3: I think, go ahead, yeah, I mean they're smart to
- 5:50Speaker 3: do that. He's been, you know, there for a while.
- 5:55Speaker 3: He also now created a new opportunity within the men's
- 5:59Speaker 3: basketball program that they just announced. I don't know if
- 6:02Speaker 3: you knew this, Scott, but NBA champion and former Blue
- 6:05Speaker 3: Devil stand out Jason Tatum has been named to first
- 6:10Speaker 3: of its kind responsibility as chief basketball Officer. He will
- 6:14Speaker 3: volunteer his time as a special advisor to Shire and
- 6:17Speaker 3: the Duke program, bringing championship level insight and professional basketball
- 6:21Speaker 3: experience to player development, leadership, and life as an elite athlete.
- 6:27Speaker 3: I think that is a superb move by him because
- 6:29Speaker 3: I think that'll help him bring in more talent to
- 6:35Speaker 3: the school if they're gonna have an NBA player to
- 6:40Speaker 3: be able to help mold some of these college players
- 6:43Speaker 3: and help them. So good great moves by him and
- 6:47Speaker 3: the college for securing.
- 6:49Speaker 5: Him great information by.
- 6:53Speaker 8: Yeah, it's kind of like that Pittsburgh Steelers situation where
- 6:57Speaker 8: they've only had so many coaches because they get it
- 6:59Speaker 8: right and they understand culture. You know, this is this
- 7:03Speaker 8: is a situation where this coach was hand picked by
- 7:05Speaker 8: by coach k This guy, you know uh, coach Duke.
- 7:10Speaker 8: He understands culture, understands Duke culture, and obviously he was
- 7:15Speaker 8: a great pick by coach k Uh Coach k Groometon.
- 7:19Speaker 8: And this is one of those rare situations where you know,
- 7:22Speaker 8: the the the master, uh, the the the the the
- 7:25Speaker 8: guy who's the uh, they're the master ultimately is able
- 7:29Speaker 8: to pick his pupil and his successor, and it was
- 7:33Speaker 8: a great pick. The results show and Duke has not
- 7:36Speaker 8: skipped the beat. This program, you know, is rolling like
- 7:40Speaker 8: the Green Bay Packers quarterbacks for the last thirty years.
- 7:42Speaker 8: You know, they just don't miss a beat. They know
- 7:44Speaker 8: how to pick him. And you know, I love I like,
- 7:47Speaker 8: I'm a Duke guy myself. I like Duke basketball, so
- 7:50Speaker 8: I'm happy about it as his Duke basketball nation.
- 7:55Speaker 9: Jacob, well remember this big deal. And I mean I
- 7:58Speaker 9: was with you Martin by the way, girl up, we
- 8:00Speaker 9: didn't have any's. We have a cable TV, so it's
- 8:03Speaker 9: Duke of North Carolina. So I watched both. I liked both,
- 8:06Speaker 9: but I liked Duke better Cameron Indoor, you know. But
- 8:09Speaker 9: the but the big thing you got to remember about
- 8:11Speaker 9: coaches is if they get older. Shire's probably been doing
- 8:15Speaker 9: all of the recruiting, all all that kind of work
- 8:17Speaker 9: for so many years, like he was the coach anymore.
- 8:19Speaker 9: You get you get older, you just have somebody you
- 8:21Speaker 9: have delegation at this point. But one of the things
- 8:25Speaker 9: that you see also in Good Job. You brought that
- 8:27Speaker 9: up with Jason Tatum Candy. That is the thing I
- 8:29Speaker 9: was reading up on that. That's awesome. One thing to
- 8:32Speaker 9: realize is there is a cautionary tale. And I'm going
- 8:36Speaker 9: back to the women's side of the Tennessee women's basketball
- 8:40Speaker 9: mind you there they're not terrible, but when someone has
- 8:43Speaker 9: been gone, they've just never been the same. So that's
- 8:46Speaker 9: a cautionary tale that you get. Now you with Duke,
- 8:50Speaker 9: you didn't want that situation. The thing is they've come,
- 8:53Speaker 9: they had somebody. He picked somebody right inside of Duke
- 8:56Speaker 9: who played for Duke that Meshryszewski did. The biggest thing
- 9:01Speaker 9: to see is the fact that you're going to see that.
- 9:03Speaker 9: I mean when you're going to see the next few
- 9:04Speaker 9: years and you're probably going to see a couple of
- 9:06Speaker 9: national titles just the same that it's like he never left.
- 9:10Speaker 4: Jacob George, well, yeah, and I could speak from a
- 9:14Speaker 4: little bit of experience with the situation which Scott and
- 9:18Speaker 4: I of course live with here in Michigan with Heathcote
- 9:21Speaker 4: and Iso, but I look at the Shire situation very similar.
- 9:24Speaker 4: Of course, you know, replacing a legend is never easy,
- 9:27Speaker 4: and certainly Mike Kay has done a fantastic job as
- 9:30Speaker 4: we know at Duke and also at the Olympics and everywhere.
- 9:34Speaker 4: He's been just an incredible, credible record that man has
- 9:38Speaker 4: and he is in the Polish Sports Hall of Fame
- 9:40Speaker 4: that I'm involved in. But John Shire, he's not shying
- 9:44Speaker 4: away from anything. No, this his schedule has voted again.
- 9:49Speaker 4: He's got the roster obviously is going to have a
- 9:51Speaker 4: different look. We all know that there's that revolving door.
- 9:55Speaker 4: Because of that program being so successful, we're seeing departure,
- 10:00Speaker 4: you know, Cooper Flag the most recent and you know,
- 10:04Speaker 4: you know that doors to the NBA. That's all because
- 10:07Speaker 4: it's such a great program, and you know what, it's
- 10:11Speaker 4: not gonna change because Shire's got his good hand on it.
- 10:14Speaker 4: And it was that Candy just explained to us too
- 10:17Speaker 4: about the the return of Tatum. I mean, this is
- 10:20Speaker 4: going to be another good year I look forward from
- 10:24Speaker 4: from Shire and Douke. But yeah, he's not shying away
- 10:27Speaker 4: from any of that so called pressure that that there
- 10:30Speaker 4: was by at least a lot of the media and
- 10:32Speaker 4: fans taken over for a legend.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Hey, George, great segue to Cooper Flag, because you know what,
- 10:37Speaker 1: when he was coming out, the projected contract was a
- 10:41Speaker 1: four years at sixty two million.
- 10:43Speaker 5: Candy, once you.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Actually go ahead and get the actual contract, I know
- 10:46Speaker 1: was projected when he was coming out a great segue, George,
- 10:49Speaker 1: because well, that's why I wanted to bring in Shire
- 10:51Speaker 1: because it was going to lead to the obvious Cooper
- 10:53Speaker 1: Flag thing. Candy, while she goes ahead and gets that
- 10:57Speaker 1: re search done. What are your thoughts about Jacob Cooper
- 11:01Speaker 1: Flagg big a product of john Shire and talk about
- 11:05Speaker 1: Cooper Flagg, your observations on him as a player.
- 11:07Speaker 5: This guy is pretty good.
- 11:09Speaker 9: Oh, you know. The the big thing about with Cooper
- 11:13Speaker 9: Flag was the fact that when I saw him, I
- 11:15Speaker 9: wanted him to I wanted to say lead that. I
- 11:17Speaker 9: knew it wasn't gonna hap because it's the NBA and
- 11:19Speaker 9: it's the pay and but I was having hope against
- 11:22Speaker 9: hope for Niel to keep him there because I wanted
- 11:25Speaker 9: to see him see if he could win a national
- 11:27Speaker 9: title for Duke. He was, he is that good. But
- 11:31Speaker 9: one thing that I'm when we worried about and I
- 11:34Speaker 9: saw him in a couple of the games in the tournament.
- 11:36Speaker 9: Mind you that mind you, it's it's in the college
- 11:40Speaker 9: and pros. He's going to mature as a player. One
- 11:42Speaker 9: of the things I saw in a couple of those
- 11:44Speaker 9: games he just felt off. It was a proosent pressure,
- 11:48Speaker 9: was it the day. Were their good defenses?
- 11:50Speaker 8: What is it?
- 11:50Speaker 9: That's one thing I always worried about. Now it makes
- 11:53Speaker 9: you wonder about the NBA. It's like, will he have
- 11:57Speaker 9: certain struggles and will they bring up the fans and
- 11:59Speaker 9: all of the media and theveryboy else bring up the
- 12:01Speaker 9: contract and it's like, it's of course he's a rookie
- 12:04Speaker 9: and he's too young, but that will stop anybody.
- 12:08Speaker 3: So Scott, the answer is number one overall pick in
- 12:12Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five NBA Draft. Flags rookie contract will
- 12:16Speaker 3: be a four year, sixty two point seven million dollar deal.
- 12:21Speaker 3: If he meets the criteria to earn a Supermax. At
- 12:24Speaker 3: the end of that contract, Flag can receive a five
- 12:27Speaker 3: year contract three hundred and fifty nine million dollar deal
- 12:31Speaker 3: for his second contract, So sixty two point seven for
- 12:35Speaker 3: four years.
- 12:36Speaker 5: Thank you, Kendy.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Well, while you're talking about what you're talking about Cooper
- 12:40Speaker 1: Flagg being with the Mavericks.
- 12:42Speaker 5: I think obviously the guy didn't have a heck of
- 12:43Speaker 5: a year. Anyways.
- 12:46Speaker 3: You know, the one thing that NBA does a little
- 12:50Speaker 3: differently is they have the draft the lottery thing, so
- 12:53Speaker 3: it's not necessarily the worst team and he's going to
- 12:56Speaker 3: kind of like the NFL, where you know you're going
- 12:59Speaker 3: to a really bad TA. Kudos to him, Cooper Flag.
- 13:04Speaker 3: I think he'll he'll definitely be an impact player and
- 13:10Speaker 3: be an impact player quickly.
- 13:14Speaker 5: Mey.
- 13:15Speaker 6: Yeah, the thing about Cooper Flag is getting back to
- 13:19Speaker 6: what we were talking about Shire doing the recruiting. He
- 13:23Speaker 6: was the one who recruited Cooper Flag. And in fact,
- 13:26Speaker 6: Coach K's last year on the bench, he made a
- 13:29Speaker 6: point of not doing any other recruiting. He didn't want
- 13:33Speaker 6: to recruit kids and to not be their coach the
- 13:36Speaker 6: next year. So that was all part of his plan
- 13:40Speaker 6: his transition, planned that he was going to coach one
- 13:42Speaker 6: last year and he wanted his successor to be on
- 13:46Speaker 6: the bench next to him. And there was actually three
- 13:52Speaker 6: four or five guys that are head coaches from Duke
- 13:55Speaker 6: that under Coach K's tree that could have been candidates
- 14:00Speaker 6: and had been assistant coaches, and I think it was
- 14:04Speaker 6: Tommy Amaker.
- 14:05Speaker 7: Tommy Amaker the one at Harvard or is he at
- 14:07Speaker 7: Central Florida.
- 14:10Speaker 6: Yeah, Dawkins is a Central Florida Almaker was very interested
- 14:14Speaker 6: in the job, but he wasn't going to give up
- 14:17Speaker 6: his Harvard job to be an assistant coach at Duke
- 14:19Speaker 6: for that one last year and that's what Coach K
- 14:22Speaker 6: wanted out of his succession plan. And he was very
- 14:26Speaker 6: clear on this. Didn't really a lot of people didn't
- 14:29Speaker 6: really understand it. They thought that he was too minutolitive
- 14:34Speaker 6: picking Shire about. Coach K is a West Point grad,
- 14:39Speaker 6: did his five year stint in the army and then
- 14:42Speaker 6: coached an army and he was very clear on this
- 14:45Speaker 6: when he stepped down that he wanted a succession plan
- 14:49Speaker 6: similar to the army. When the Army names the new
- 14:52Speaker 6: general to be the head of a base, he doesn't
- 14:55Speaker 6: come in one day and take over. There's a transition
- 14:59Speaker 6: period where the former boss and the new boss are
- 15:02Speaker 6: working together. And that's what Coach K wanted. With Shire
- 15:06Speaker 6: on the bench and is his successor. Shire was already
- 15:11Speaker 6: entrenched to the recruiting and uh, we're seeing, Uh it's
- 15:15Speaker 6: worked out exactly the way Coach K had hoped.
- 15:21Speaker 5: So who hasn't.
- 15:24Speaker 8: Yeah, So, I mean, great, great points Tom. Again, that
- 15:27Speaker 8: speaks back to culture, you know, and leadership and being
- 15:31Speaker 8: strategic and having a plan and putting ego aside. I mean,
- 15:35Speaker 8: just look about look at the leadership of a coach
- 15:37Speaker 8: k and and and the Duke administration versus you know
- 15:43Speaker 8: how Jerry Drones runs his organization and the chaos and
- 15:46Speaker 8: the circus and the ego. I'm serious though, you know,
- 15:48Speaker 8: and you wonder why he hasn't been successful at least
- 15:51Speaker 8: without Jimmy Johnson. But you know, coach k epitomizes you know,
- 15:54Speaker 8: class and what it is to be a real leader.
- 15:57Speaker 8: And and you see that and how they went about
- 16:00Speaker 8: getting the next coach in there. The crazy thing for
- 16:04Speaker 8: Cooper Flag and what what you hate for him is.
- 16:07Speaker 10: He took a pay cut going to the NBA. Yeah,
- 16:12Speaker 10: he made twenty eight million dollars in his first year
- 16:16Speaker 10: at Duke from two deals. And you know, based on
- 16:20Speaker 10: the numbers, can he's saying, what's he making in NBA
- 16:23Speaker 10: twenty two, twenty three, twenty four million. I'm not saying
- 16:26Speaker 10: that's chump change, but just think about we live in
- 16:28Speaker 10: a world where a kid who's making over twenty million
- 16:31Speaker 10: dollars in pro sports is taking a pay cut from
- 16:34Speaker 10: what he made in college.
- 16:35Speaker 8: You know, again, capitalism has no mercy. The players benefit
- 16:40Speaker 8: greatly and you know twenty eight meal as a freshman.
- 16:45Speaker 9: Wow, Oh as much as you got Martin.
- 16:49Speaker 8: We don't talk about that. You know this, you know,
- 16:52Speaker 8: it's a different day. I don't know what you're talking about, Jacob.
- 16:55Speaker 4: And I didn't contribute yet, Scott, but I was, Yeah,
- 17:00Speaker 4: I just wanted to add, you know, this guy, there's
- 17:02Speaker 4: a lot of pressure on him. But he did very
- 17:04Speaker 4: well in his first game down there for the exhibition season.
- 17:08Speaker 4: I mean, what can you say. He was AP Player
- 17:10Speaker 4: of the Year and all the Accoloids, the Wooden Award,
- 17:12Speaker 4: that Doctor j Award, he won everything. And he is
- 17:18Speaker 4: a good player, and no question about that. A lot
- 17:21Speaker 4: of pressure on him, but he's got to remember that
- 17:24Speaker 4: it takes time too. And despite all the money that
- 17:27Speaker 4: he's making, Cooper Flag is going to be going through
- 17:31Speaker 4: some growing pains as a rookie in the NBA. The
- 17:34Speaker 4: kid's only eighteen. I think he turns nineteen in December,
- 17:38Speaker 4: so he's got a lot of moxie, a lot of
- 17:41Speaker 4: determination and obviously great pedigree. Like you guys said from
- 17:45Speaker 4: Duke and from and Mixtrotest and his successor right.
- 17:50Speaker 1: Everybody contributed, Yeah, a lot of line. Cooper Fledge the
- 17:55Speaker 1: heck of a player. Dallas members are looking to end
- 17:57Speaker 1: up getting him talk about getting lucky in the lottery
- 18:00Speaker 1: at the right time. They did definitely get them. Everybody
- 18:03Speaker 1: thought that when who was it not? Oh gosh, I'm
- 18:09Speaker 1: trying to.
- 18:09Speaker 5: Blank got traded to the Lakers. Help me out. I'm
- 18:13Speaker 5: drawing a plank.
- 18:16Speaker 1: Shouldn't the guy's overweight all the time and he blues
- 18:19Speaker 1: out there?
- 18:20Speaker 5: Yeah that's it.
- 18:21Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, all time.
- 18:25Speaker 9: It's usually Zion.
- 18:26Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's okay.
- 18:28Speaker 1: But yeah, the reality is they were fortunate that they
- 18:31Speaker 1: ended up getting it right the number one pick, because
- 18:34Speaker 1: now they have a good building black when Kyrie Irving
- 18:36Speaker 1: gets healthy, this team could.
- 18:37Speaker 5: Be dangerous that they have there.
- 18:40Speaker 1: And Anthony Davis is right, the Dallas Mavericks will better
- 18:43Speaker 1: than most people think. They got new ownership Mark Cubans
- 18:46Speaker 1: out of there. But nonetheless the teams are forces to
- 18:49Speaker 1: be reckoned with us Luka Doncas all right, there you go, thanks,
- 18:52Speaker 1: all right, we'll continue on the basketball team. The title
- 18:56Speaker 1: Love the Show is what could have been Chicago Bulls
- 18:59Speaker 1: dynasty of the nineteen nineties. While Tommy, if anybody can
- 19:02Speaker 1: be connected with this and know this, well, it's you.
- 19:07Speaker 1: With Michael Jordan who took a shot at Lebron James
- 19:10Speaker 1: when disgusting how many titles that he would have had
- 19:14Speaker 1: in Chicago. Is the nineteen ninety eight team that was
- 19:18Speaker 1: never broken up, we could have won seven, eight, nine.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Of course he's being sarcastic because the Lebron thing he
- 19:27Speaker 1: obviously knows and letting him know who the real king
- 19:30Speaker 1: of the Hill is. So Lebron James, I don't. I'll
- 19:34Speaker 1: get laughed at this. I wouldn't put him in my
- 19:36Speaker 1: top five or ten players when you look at that
- 19:38Speaker 1: history of the NBA, I wouldn't.
- 19:41Speaker 5: That's just me.
- 19:42Speaker 1: But Michael Jordan, no problem. I'll put in there easily
- 19:45Speaker 1: at the top. What are your thoughts about this when
- 19:48Speaker 1: you look at Jordan had six, but he could have
- 19:50Speaker 1: had nine or ten easily if it wasn't broken up.
- 19:53Speaker 7: Tommy, I guess so.
- 20:00Speaker 5: Well, it had six.
- 20:04Speaker 6: I just always thought there was nobody that really challenged
- 20:07Speaker 6: the uh, the Bulls in those days after the Lakers
- 20:11Speaker 6: dynasty faded. There's just a lull with other teams, and
- 20:16Speaker 6: they really didn't have to beat a lot of great teams.
- 20:22Speaker 6: I don't know, but they would they have beaten the
- 20:26Speaker 6: Rockets with a team in ninety four if if if
- 20:30Speaker 6: one of the Jordan hadn't retired to baseball.
- 20:36Speaker 8: I don't know one of them.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Okay, that's for see. All right, So let me ask
- 20:41Speaker 1: you this, Tommy m Jay, Lebron? Who you got?
- 20:48Speaker 5: I mean, wasn't a choice?
- 20:50Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 20:51Speaker 6: That was the other thing that I holds me back
- 20:53Speaker 6: on the Bulls because I always have thought Pippen was overrated.
- 20:57Speaker 6: He wouldn't have been as good without Jordan, and he
- 20:59Speaker 6: proved that he was no longer playing with Jordan.
- 21:02Speaker 7: He went to other teams. But anyways, Jordan or Lebron James,
- 21:06Speaker 7: is that what you said?
- 21:07Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, Jordan, Okay, Candy.
- 21:14Speaker 3: Jordan all day long?
- 21:16Speaker 1: Do you think he was online when he was taking
- 21:19Speaker 1: his shots at Lebron? Nowadays everybody's taking shots of Lebron.
- 21:22Speaker 1: I just figured I'd pulled this one in my pocket
- 21:24Speaker 1: and bring it to the forefront. If we have a
- 21:26Speaker 1: lot of North Carolina talking this show.
- 21:30Speaker 3: I think the nineties Bulls played a different style of
- 21:34Speaker 3: basketball than they play now. So do I think it's better?
- 21:38Speaker 3: I think the old school basketball is better than the
- 21:40Speaker 3: new school basketball.
- 21:42Speaker 5: Yeah. Of course they didn't heard to have Dennis Robin
- 21:44Speaker 5: in there either.
- 21:45Speaker 8: Marvin, without question, if they kept that team together in
- 21:49Speaker 8: ninety eight, they would have won more championships. As Tom said,
- 21:53Speaker 8: no one could touch them. I mean, these guys playing
- 21:56Speaker 8: at the top of the game. Jordan was playing great
- 22:00Speaker 8: that season in the last is last year there, and
- 22:04Speaker 8: there was nobody who would look at it and say
- 22:05Speaker 8: they would challenge that team. Uh so, so, yeah, I
- 22:08Speaker 8: would definitely assume they'd win more championships. Listen, basketball is
- 22:13Speaker 8: big on metrics. They call Lebron James the King. What
- 22:17Speaker 8: he is, he is the King. He's the king because
- 22:19Speaker 8: he's gonna have he has all the records. He's gonna
- 22:21Speaker 8: have all the records.
- 22:22Speaker 7: You know.
- 22:23Speaker 8: Obviously, you know most championships is the biggest one and
- 22:27Speaker 8: and that's and that's our man out in Boston. But
- 22:32Speaker 8: in the modern game, it's Michael Jordan, you know. So
- 22:36Speaker 8: and we count in championships is the major metric. And
- 22:38Speaker 8: I get that, But what about the points? Don't tell
- 22:41Speaker 8: you that doesn't matter. The points record was held by
- 22:44Speaker 8: Kareem for decades. You know, You've had many great players
- 22:47Speaker 8: from Kareem's retirement til today who don't want to come
- 22:50Speaker 8: close to that. Lebron did it. Longevity matters, you know,
- 22:54Speaker 8: being able to keep your body and stay in shape.
- 22:56Speaker 8: Your commitment to excellence, that matters. So, you know, I
- 23:00Speaker 8: believe that Lebron James is the king. I believe that
- 23:03Speaker 8: Michael Jordan is the goat. If you're asking me who
- 23:06Speaker 8: I take, I'm taking the goat every day, all day.
- 23:09Speaker 8: Michael Jordan was an assassin.
- 23:11Speaker 9: He was.
- 23:12Speaker 8: He was a Hall of Fame player on offense and defense.
- 23:16Speaker 8: And he gave you, you know, he gave you your money's worth.
- 23:19Speaker 8: This guy's playing, you know, eighty game seasons, eighty one
- 23:22Speaker 8: game seasons, eighty two game seasons like it's nothing, you know,
- 23:25Speaker 8: and playing at a high level both sides of the ball.
- 23:27Speaker 8: The ultimate competitor, he's still a competitor. That's why he's
- 23:31Speaker 8: talking junk to Lebron James, who's playing. He feels that
- 23:34Speaker 8: pressure a little bit. He knows he's the guy. You know,
- 23:37Speaker 8: he's he's He was the first one to really take
- 23:40Speaker 8: basketball to a certain level economically. He changed the business
- 23:44Speaker 8: of the game, which really made him who he is
- 23:47Speaker 8: along with those championships. But Lebron James has records. Metrics matter,
- 23:52Speaker 8: Records matter, and when he says he's the King of
- 23:55Speaker 8: the game. I can give him that, But like I said,
- 23:58Speaker 8: I gotta give Mike the title is goat.
- 24:02Speaker 3: I just want to add to what he was asked
- 24:04Speaker 3: to saying, because he was asking me about who has
- 24:07Speaker 3: the most championships, Bill Russell with eleven.
- 24:13Speaker 7: Forgotten?
- 24:14Speaker 8: Yeah, which is sad, Which is sad? You know, yeah, not.
- 24:19Speaker 7: To mention an Olympic gold medal and back and back
- 24:21Speaker 7: in titles. He needs Twitter.
- 24:24Speaker 8: If he get Twitter will blow up.
- 24:28Speaker 9: Okay, you just you get me to get me riled up,
- 24:31Speaker 9: bringing up Lebron to just forget forget you?
- 24:33Speaker 5: Of course, why do you think I try to bring
- 24:35Speaker 5: you on here to get you riled.
- 24:38Speaker 9: I'm sorry, Marvin, I'm sorry. When you're a Larry Bird
- 24:40Speaker 9: guy like like I am. And you remember the guy
- 24:43Speaker 9: played through a back so bad he would be sure
- 24:45Speaker 9: in a wheelchair and this guy and this guy clops,
- 24:50Speaker 9: you know, when you touch him with a fingernail. It's like, no, yeah,
- 24:56Speaker 9: he's got the points. Yes, he's got all of those.
- 24:59Speaker 9: He has everything he does to have four titles. He'll
- 25:01Speaker 9: get no more, never again. But but and there is
- 25:05Speaker 9: zero chance of him having that, you know what I mean.
- 25:07Speaker 9: It's it's about as much chance for him that to
- 25:09Speaker 9: get another title is killed Williams to go without figuring
- 25:12Speaker 9: out Polish. But I mean, the biggest thing to say
- 25:17Speaker 9: about this is the fact that we're talking about I
- 25:20Speaker 9: brought up Bird earlier, that he goes with Jordan. They
- 25:24Speaker 9: were men, they were assassins, they were assassins. The reason
- 25:29Speaker 9: I can't put it on Lebron's because you put Lebron
- 25:32Speaker 9: in the nineties and he would die because there would
- 25:34Speaker 9: be nothing to fly. No, I'm sorry, it's the style
- 25:38Speaker 9: of the game pops. He fops around, He fops around,
- 25:43Speaker 9: and and the fakes pain on JJ Barrea. That's just
- 25:47Speaker 9: I mean, he is a he is. Here's one of
- 25:50Speaker 9: the things. He's either a horrible actor or he has
- 25:52Speaker 9: the worst pain tolerance for a guy with muscles I've
- 25:55Speaker 9: ever seen. You have a body like that, you need
- 25:58Speaker 9: to be you need to be a little bit of
- 25:59Speaker 9: a bully. You don't need to be faking it to
- 26:01Speaker 9: the refs. But the thing about it, yeah, he would
- 26:07Speaker 9: if in the nineties. It is because I'm saying he
- 26:09Speaker 9: would have been carted off because he can't do it
- 26:11Speaker 9: because of the way he acts, like when he gets
- 26:12Speaker 9: paid in the first place, but it's a different style
- 26:16Speaker 9: of game. But you had an assassin with Michael. You
- 26:19Speaker 9: had that. But I'm gonna say this with Michael also,
- 26:22Speaker 9: I don't I'm not sure they beat San Antonio on
- 26:26Speaker 9: ninety nine. I'm not sure of that. They were getting older,
- 26:31Speaker 9: but Pippins's back was bad, Jordan's knees were starting to
- 26:34Speaker 9: get a little bit there. Then there's a competitive they're
- 26:37Speaker 9: all getting older, and then you have a younger San
- 26:39Speaker 9: Antonio team. I'm not sure if the Bulls win any
- 26:42Speaker 9: more than those six in the first place, because and
- 26:46Speaker 9: after one loss that had been over anyway. But I'm
- 26:48Speaker 9: not sure the thing, but that six was amazing. But
- 26:52Speaker 9: MJ you talk about assassin, you talk about you talk
- 26:56Speaker 9: about almost ridiculous competitive fire, and I mean eighty eighty one,
- 27:03Speaker 9: eighty two games. You brought that up and he just
- 27:06Speaker 9: keep playing, and he he did not lose three in
- 27:08Speaker 9: a row from ninety to ninety eight, not once.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Well, they're keep in mind. One thing you're missing here
- 27:13Speaker 1: is Michael Jordan and games off. Either he could play
- 27:16Speaker 1: eighty two, he would and I can only imagine Lebron
- 27:19Speaker 1: James would get out smarted by Larry Bird and he
- 27:22Speaker 1: would get hammerd by the bad boys. I mean, he
- 27:25Speaker 1: and Jordan had to do with all that. So part
- 27:27Speaker 1: of you there is Jacob, and the other part of
- 27:29Speaker 1: you isn't. So if you're watching baseball and I only
- 27:33Speaker 1: see half of you, then that's okay too. If I
- 27:35Speaker 1: see all that and I know you have incredible technology.
- 27:38Speaker 9: Let me bring let me bring this one thing before.
- 27:41Speaker 9: I know, we need to get to George here. But
- 27:43Speaker 9: sorry about that, by the way, No, that's all right,
- 27:46Speaker 9: the bringing the just bringing these whole deals up. And
- 27:49Speaker 9: I'm not saying that for I'm not saying it for
- 27:51Speaker 9: style points or am I saying it for skill, because
- 27:53Speaker 9: I know what the skill is with Lebron, Marvin.
- 27:56Speaker 5: I know this.
- 27:58Speaker 9: It's not that part. It's just they, the lawyers and
- 28:02Speaker 9: the agents and Adam Silver, the walking condom. He is they.
- 28:06Speaker 9: I mean, I am telling you right now, every bit
- 28:09Speaker 9: of it. They change the style of the game for
- 28:11Speaker 9: a guy like Lebron. It's like, but you all get
- 28:14Speaker 9: the bad habits that Lebron has. He has caused athletes,
- 28:19Speaker 9: three hundred and fifty pound athletes from high schools and
- 28:23Speaker 9: colleges to flop such bad habits just to think that
- 28:27Speaker 9: that's good. Instead of manning up on anything, they flop
- 28:30Speaker 9: to get penalties. He flopped the guy to get fouls.
- 28:33Speaker 9: He started that stupid thing, and now everybody does it.
- 28:37Speaker 9: They think that's the right thing. And then you'll get
- 28:39Speaker 9: people calling him. They call him the biggest badass in
- 28:42Speaker 9: the history of the NBA, and he could be in MMA.
- 28:47Speaker 9: That's just a generation that doesn't understand what badass is.
- 28:52Speaker 8: Girl, I'll take like this, Jacob, you can't be the
- 28:56Speaker 8: all time leading scorer and not be a badass.
- 29:00Speaker 9: I'm talking about that. I'm talking about if I know
- 29:03Speaker 9: I'm saying this part. I know what he did for
- 29:06Speaker 9: his body. The thing is all the stuff that he
- 29:08Speaker 9: pretends to be like tough guy or whatever. He's not.
- 29:11Speaker 9: He pretends he's reading books. He's on the first two
- 29:13Speaker 9: pages on every picture. He doesn't have to. He doesn't
- 29:18Speaker 9: have to do all of that because he is the
- 29:20Speaker 9: all time waiting scorer. He is all that kind of
- 29:22Speaker 9: stuff like that. He made the I Promise school. He's
- 29:26Speaker 9: done these things. He doesn't have to pretend he does.
- 29:29Speaker 8: He's been the best thing for the NBA is.
- 29:32Speaker 9: The worst thing in the I cannot wait. He has
- 29:39Speaker 9: caused more. He has caused more bad habits for athletes
- 29:43Speaker 9: on TikTok. They all that flopping, all of the taking
- 29:47Speaker 9: time off. He has caused the bad habits. I mean, yeah,
- 29:51Speaker 9: he's a businessman and he's one of the greatest businessmen
- 29:54Speaker 9: we've ever seen in our lives. But let me say
- 29:57Speaker 9: that the biggest thing about it is, as far as
- 29:59Speaker 9: a ki instinct, he doesn't have Jordan's killer instinct.
- 30:05Speaker 4: Well, George, yeah, I'm just gonna close it out. And
- 30:09Speaker 4: the things that I look at, especially from Jordan, I mean,
- 30:12Speaker 4: you know, six times the NBA Finals, MVP and scoring
- 30:17Speaker 4: champion as we know what, eight nine, ten times after
- 30:19Speaker 4: I lost count. Look, but then look at his all
- 30:23Speaker 4: defensive first team, All defensive first team. So this man
- 30:27Speaker 4: was not only a score but you guys are right,
- 30:30Speaker 4: he was a man who was not afraid to take
- 30:33Speaker 4: punishment and give it out. Jordan was All defensive first
- 30:36Speaker 4: team for like eight ten years again during his career.
- 30:40Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, No way would I put
- 30:43Speaker 4: Lebron ahead of him. But I'm not going to go
- 30:45Speaker 4: that far, is what you did, Jacob. I'm not going
- 30:48Speaker 4: to go that far and saying all of his nasty,
- 30:50Speaker 4: bad habits. He's been a lot to this league, but no,
- 30:53Speaker 4: he is not Michael Jordan and he never will be
- 30:56Speaker 4: because I look at this as Jordan being far ahead
- 30:59Speaker 4: of him as the top five goes. Like you said earlier, Scott.
- 31:04Speaker 9: Yeah, I just I'm just saying that. I'm just saying
- 31:06Speaker 9: it just habits for the other athletes that they've that
- 31:09Speaker 9: grew up with him, he just brought so many bad ones.
- 31:13Speaker 9: I mean, I know, I know his skills. I'm not
- 31:15Speaker 9: saying he doesn't have skills. I'm not saying he has
- 31:17Speaker 9: the all time greats scorer. I'm not saying he's not
- 31:19Speaker 9: one of the all time greats. But it makes me irritated.
- 31:23Speaker 9: And when you see so much of load management, he
- 31:27Speaker 9: started that, when you see someone's flopping on the floor,
- 31:29Speaker 9: he started that. He I mean, you see so much
- 31:32Speaker 9: of this stuff. With all this stuff, you see all
- 31:35Speaker 9: of this. You'll see him on TikTok, you on YouTube.
- 31:38Speaker 9: You see high schoolers follow all this stuff. You see
- 31:41Speaker 9: the college people follow all this stuff. It's a it's
- 31:43Speaker 9: just bad habits.
- 31:45Speaker 5: Well, here here's the champ Okay number one.
- 31:47Speaker 1: As I said, what could have been Chicago Bulls dynasty
- 31:49Speaker 1: of the nineteen nineties. I think they could have gotten
- 31:51Speaker 1: another title or two easily. As far as Michael Jordan
- 31:54Speaker 1: is concerned over Lefron James, this isn't even close. Michael
- 31:59Speaker 1: Jordan all day long, period. All Right, we're going to
- 32:03Speaker 1: USC but not this time for the Wolverines and the Trojans,
- 32:07Speaker 1: but we're gonna talk women's basketball. USC star Juju Watkins
- 32:11Speaker 1: announces that she will miss the entire twenty twenty five
- 32:14Speaker 1: season and she can continues to cover from an ACL
- 32:17Speaker 1: injury that she suffered in March. She's hoping to be
- 32:20Speaker 1: back obviously next year. Marvin Will, it's your own monitor
- 32:24Speaker 1: where you're talking about Juju Smith Watkins. Ju Ju Watkins.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I was looking forward to seeing her play in the
- 32:30Speaker 1: women's Final four. Unfortunately the injury didn't allow us. But
- 32:34Speaker 1: what a young, gifted athlete she is.
- 32:37Speaker 8: Yeah, great segue from Michael Jordan, because she's she's a
- 32:40Speaker 8: Michael Jordan of college basketball, without questions. She's a generational player.
- 32:45Speaker 8: When you think about the greatest players in the history
- 32:48Speaker 8: of college basketball, women's college basketball already, you have to
- 32:53Speaker 8: say her name and that that's who she is. She
- 32:56Speaker 8: got injured in during the incident a tournament. It was
- 33:01Speaker 8: obviously early in the year, in the calendar year, and
- 33:04Speaker 8: I realized when she got hurt, just the timing of
- 33:07Speaker 8: it with the ACL she was gonna probably have to
- 33:10Speaker 8: miss the next season. I realized that months ago. And
- 33:13Speaker 8: it's heartbreaking because she I mean, she's a movement. She's inspired,
- 33:18Speaker 8: you know, so many people to watch the game, and
- 33:22Speaker 8: really coming off coming off the year before where it
- 33:24Speaker 8: was all about Caitlyn Clark, I think you see Juju
- 33:27Speaker 8: Watkins kind of filled out void and become the star
- 33:30Speaker 8: of women's college basketball. So really sad to see her out.
- 33:34Speaker 8: We're still going into this season as the number seventeen
- 33:38Speaker 8: team preseason number seventeen. We just signed the number one
- 33:43Speaker 8: player in the nation who will be with us, Jazzy Crumes,
- 33:45Speaker 8: I believe, and we have Kennedy Smith and a few
- 33:48Speaker 8: other players. So USC basketball is going to be competitive
- 33:51Speaker 8: this year. We expect them to be competitive to get
- 33:54Speaker 8: into the tournament tournament and make make a run. But
- 33:58Speaker 8: without your Michael Jordan is going to be tough again.
- 34:01Speaker 8: Juju was putting up guiding numbers on her way to
- 34:05Speaker 8: being selected as a Player of the year in college basketball, Tommy, Yeah,
- 34:12Speaker 8: the thing.
- 34:12Speaker 6: I remember about Juju she's a great player. The thing
- 34:15Speaker 6: I remember is you heard a lot of build up
- 34:18Speaker 6: about her as when she first got there as a
- 34:21Speaker 6: young player, and a lot of times when you hear
- 34:23Speaker 6: somebody building up like that and you finally see him play,
- 34:26Speaker 6: you're kind of let down.
- 34:28Speaker 7: But she is everything she.
- 34:30Speaker 6: Was said to be and as produced from day one.
- 34:35Speaker 6: And yeah, she's a tremendous player. I like watching her play.
- 34:39Speaker 6: And the other thing that I guess is worth noting.
- 34:42Speaker 7: About her is she's.
- 34:44Speaker 6: Come along in the nil age, so she's missing the
- 34:47Speaker 6: whole year, but I'm sure she's still able to cash
- 34:51Speaker 6: in like a player a decade ago couldn't have while
- 34:56Speaker 6: missing a whole year, and you know, maybe not being
- 34:59Speaker 6: the same player when they come back because of the injuries.
- 35:01Speaker 6: So there's another benefit of Niel that maybe we don't
- 35:05Speaker 6: think about as much.
- 35:08Speaker 4: George, Yeah, I'm glad you brought this up, Scott, because yeah,
- 35:14Speaker 4: she is a great player, Juju. And you know when
- 35:17Speaker 4: she went out last year and sidelined for after that injury,
- 35:21Speaker 4: like you guys said that, it really took the spark
- 35:23Speaker 4: away from a Southern cal but they still, like you said, Marvin,
- 35:27Speaker 4: they still got a great program. They're highly rated, they're
- 35:30Speaker 4: highly favored in the Big Ten race again this year
- 35:33Speaker 4: the Trojans.
- 35:34Speaker 5: Uh.
- 35:34Speaker 4: It's gonna be tough though. I mean, you know, to
- 35:36Speaker 4: take somebody of that magnitude and that ability and the
- 35:40Speaker 4: strength that she has both offensively defenses, and now she's
- 35:43Speaker 4: gonna be sidelined for the season, as you said, recovering
- 35:46Speaker 4: from that ACL. I just wish her the best, and
- 35:50Speaker 4: I'm sure that her eyes are focused too, probably on
- 35:53Speaker 4: a career as a professional with the WNBA. But let's
- 35:57Speaker 4: take first things first. You got to try to win.
- 35:59Speaker 4: You got pulled the team together as I know coach
- 36:02Speaker 4: will do, and pull it together and try to accomplish
- 36:06Speaker 4: feet number one, which is to win the Big Ten
- 36:08Speaker 4: title this year. But it's going to be a lost,
- 36:11Speaker 4: no question, Jacob.
- 36:14Speaker 9: I have to say this, Marvin, how I am and
- 36:16Speaker 9: how right you are with Juju. I have to say
- 36:19Speaker 9: this part here. I was sad when I heard this,
- 36:23Speaker 9: sad because everybody was bringing up the the Caitlyn and
- 36:28Speaker 9: Angel Reese rivalry, which two different type players. I wouldn't
- 36:32Speaker 9: really calling that one. I always I never I wasn't
- 36:35Speaker 9: going against Angel. What I was saying was I wanted
- 36:38Speaker 9: Juju in the NBA and watch those two go at it.
- 36:42Speaker 9: Their styles are just so similar and everything like that,
- 36:45Speaker 9: and it's made me sad. It's a double said because
- 36:47Speaker 9: Caitlyn and Juju both had the injuries, you know, and
- 36:51Speaker 9: you have all this and it's like and you just
- 36:53Speaker 9: can't tell. And I kind of hate seeing this because
- 36:57Speaker 9: she absolutely positively she could have brought more rate that
- 37:00Speaker 9: and for the college game kind of like that from
- 37:03Speaker 9: what's because she has fun to watch. And what worries
- 37:07Speaker 9: it worries me now is because it always worries me
- 37:10Speaker 9: when somebody has a bad knee in college, whether it's football, basketball,
- 37:14Speaker 9: or whatever. How bad does it linger? Let's hope this
- 37:17Speaker 9: fixes it and she can have a long career because
- 37:19Speaker 9: she is fun to watch. I just hope it doesn't linger.
- 37:22Speaker 9: Going into the.
- 37:22Speaker 5: W who's left.
- 37:27Speaker 3: I am good handy, So one of the things that
- 37:31Speaker 3: she said in her statement, these last few months have
- 37:34Speaker 3: been filled with a lot of healing, rest and reflection.
- 37:37Speaker 3: Recovering from this injury hasn't been easy, and I want
- 37:40Speaker 3: to say thank you. Your love, support and kind words
- 37:42Speaker 3: have truly lifted me up during one of the most
- 37:45Speaker 3: challenging times in my life. Because you've been with me
- 37:48Speaker 3: every step of the way. I wanted you to hear
- 37:49Speaker 3: it from me directly that, following the advice of my
- 37:53Speaker 3: doctors and trainers, I will sit out this season and
- 37:57Speaker 3: fully focus on continuing to recover so I can come
- 38:01Speaker 3: back to the game. I love. That had to take
- 38:05Speaker 3: a lot of guts, and that had to be hard,
- 38:08Speaker 3: But in the long run, she's better for it, because
- 38:11Speaker 3: sometimes people rush back from injuries, I think, and they
- 38:15Speaker 3: try and push themselves and they play and they re
- 38:20Speaker 3: injure or they're more prone to get injuries, or they
- 38:23Speaker 3: sustain what will become Mike could be a lifelong problem.
- 38:28Speaker 3: So I give her a lot of credit for her
- 38:30Speaker 3: to sit down and listen to the doctors and trainers
- 38:34Speaker 3: and say this is what's best for me and my
- 38:37Speaker 3: health above anything else, because you don't hear that all
- 38:40Speaker 3: the time. And I you know, I'm going to miss
- 38:44Speaker 3: her not being out there, but I hope she can
- 38:48Speaker 3: fully recover from this. You know, during this this year.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Marvin said it from the start to ju Wack Right, Okay,
- 38:58Speaker 1: Michael Jordan, Right, segue from what I need to say.
- 39:01Speaker 5: All Right, I'll tell you what. Let's go to college football.
- 39:04Speaker 8: Get this.
- 39:05Speaker 1: You want to talk about how far they schedule these
- 39:07Speaker 1: things out? The next Furthest contracting game is on September tenth,
- 39:12Speaker 1: two thousand and thirty nine. Troy, is that Army fifteen
- 39:16Speaker 1: years in advance? It's the furthest college football game on record,
- 39:20Speaker 1: and the schedule and the game is scheduled in twenty
- 39:23Speaker 1: four e Tommy, How does this stuff happen?
- 39:27Speaker 7: They're scheduled that far ahead?
- 39:29Speaker 5: You mean, yeah, they're organized.
- 39:34Speaker 1: Yeah, you think, I know you can follow the Army, right, Troy,
- 39:38Speaker 1: you gonna I don't know. I'm gonna be alive to
- 39:40Speaker 1: see it, but there'll be a different.
- 39:44Speaker 7: One of the things.
- 39:45Speaker 6: About Army football is they like to play a national schedule.
- 39:49Speaker 6: That's one of the reasons they ever reluctant to join
- 39:52Speaker 6: the Conference of the American Conference. And the same as
- 39:54Speaker 6: true of maybe before they went in is you know,
- 39:57Speaker 6: they have players all over the country. Every road game
- 40:04Speaker 6: they play is a homecoming for somebody on their roster, right,
- 40:08Speaker 6: and so they like to play across the country, and
- 40:12Speaker 6: they always had to have flexibility with the non conference games,
- 40:17Speaker 6: so now they have less flexibility. So maybe that has
- 40:19Speaker 6: something to do with scheduling a game of down in Alabama.
- 40:23Speaker 6: They like to schedule games near military bases too, so
- 40:30Speaker 6: it doesn't surprise me, and I don't see a problem
- 40:32Speaker 6: with it either.
- 40:33Speaker 5: Hey, Marvin, I know you're going to be in twenty forty.
- 40:36Speaker 1: Man, after you get done reading my book and you
- 40:39Speaker 1: keep making your progress in the broadcasting range, you're going
- 40:42Speaker 1: to be one of the four major networks anyhow, So
- 40:44Speaker 1: me who knows. Maybe you'll provide the color commentary for
- 40:47Speaker 1: this game. All I know is that by the time
- 40:49Speaker 1: they schedule this thing out way better than twenty forty,
- 40:52Speaker 1: I will be in a concrete nap up in Wisconsin.
- 40:55Speaker 1: I can assure you that I have a feeling. I
- 40:58Speaker 1: believe it.
- 41:01Speaker 9: You're telling Kennedy she's failing in your.
- 41:04Speaker 5: Tah Not that woman here is anything. I'll tell you.
- 41:07Speaker 1: She's the reason I'm still doing this stuff, because I
- 41:11Speaker 1: would be doing this. But yeah, I mean, Army a
- 41:14Speaker 1: truly a hundred percent run game in the old Earl.
- 41:16Speaker 1: There'll be one hundred percent running game at twenty forty
- 41:18Speaker 1: when I'm doing my concrete nowt mall be calling the
- 41:21Speaker 1: co colentary for this game. Marvin, what do you think
- 41:24Speaker 1: about when they scheduled this start of advance?
- 41:27Speaker 8: Listen, Like Tom, I have tremendous respect for the Service
- 41:30Speaker 8: academies and their football team. Uh well aware of Army
- 41:34Speaker 8: and who they were in the nineteen forties Army, Navy.
- 41:37Speaker 8: And you know, I'm someone who has many family members,
- 41:43Speaker 8: like one of our last comments was from my cousin Earl,
- 41:45Speaker 8: who was in the Army. Many family members who serve
- 41:49Speaker 8: so absolutely got love for them. Listen, this is business.
- 41:53Speaker 8: They're they're they're figuring out their money and how they
- 41:56Speaker 8: can you know, stay relevant and play teams and play
- 42:00Speaker 8: big teams. This I don't think Troy is a big school,
- 42:03Speaker 8: but but you know, the way this thing's realigning and
- 42:06Speaker 8: with the way the money's being thrown around, they're just
- 42:10Speaker 8: trying to slid fight their spot, get their schedules straight,
- 42:13Speaker 8: and you know, just make sure that they have teams
- 42:16Speaker 8: to play in the future. Man, and get to get
- 42:18Speaker 8: something in writing, get something contractual. This is this is
- 42:21Speaker 8: just business.
- 42:21Speaker 1: I'm long record right now. In twenty forty, Jacob Christner
- 42:25Speaker 1: will have a star on the Hollywood Walk of thing.
- 42:29Speaker 9: Well, I'll also be fifty eight years old with probably
- 42:32Speaker 9: a four to two year old in the house ring around.
- 42:34Speaker 1: And by the way, Jacob, that's a segue for tomorrow's
- 42:37Speaker 1: show on No Limits. So yeah, all right, so what that?
- 42:40Speaker 1: So what do you think about them scheduling a college
- 42:42Speaker 1: football game that far out?
- 42:44Speaker 7: Mr?
- 42:45Speaker 5: Oh?
- 42:46Speaker 9: Sort of? This is the thing. You're probably gonna see
- 42:48Speaker 9: this more and more as the time goes on. Like
- 42:50Speaker 9: when twenty thirty, twenty thirty five hits, you're probably gonna
- 42:53Speaker 9: see the next one in twenty fifty six. It's because
- 42:57Speaker 9: here's another thing to realize. Also, you you realize that
- 43:01Speaker 9: so people that did the scheduling before, like in the
- 43:06Speaker 9: years before that, years and years before that, were older.
- 43:09Speaker 9: Older people. Everybody that has these jobs now are younger.
- 43:14Speaker 9: They might be around for a while, they might be said,
- 43:16Speaker 9: they're probably thinking way far ahead like that they are.
- 43:20Speaker 9: You know, there are probably twenty five thirty year olds
- 43:22Speaker 9: doing this. They're probably thinking, well, they're gonna be ahead.
- 43:24Speaker 9: They're probably thinking fifteen to twenty years. You never know,
- 43:28Speaker 9: and by that point, the way things change, army might
- 43:30Speaker 9: be a army might be a four to three defense
- 43:33Speaker 9: with a with a big four hundred yard passers.
- 43:38Speaker 1: And Bucky Morgan Ross will be going out there running
- 43:40Speaker 1: through breaking tackles.
- 43:42Speaker 5: Well, Boots will be all doing the tushbush. That's my
- 43:45Speaker 5: other cat those things.
- 43:47Speaker 1: Boots my touch Sedo Cant will be doing the tushbush,
- 43:50Speaker 1: and Bucky will be fly for.
- 43:52Speaker 5: Tackless caring touchdown. Great stuff. I got no but I
- 43:57Speaker 5: gotta get my canceled there a little bit. And this
- 43:59Speaker 5: is perfect George getting any of this.
- 44:02Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, this is an interesting discussion. I mean,
- 44:05Speaker 4: I know college football schedules are made up in advance,
- 44:08Speaker 4: but this is crazy non conference. Yeah, I've seen them
- 44:13Speaker 4: as far as seven years out, but you know, I
- 44:16Speaker 4: know that they already had game schedule they said, you know,
- 44:19Speaker 4: in you know, twenty thirty thirty one. This is really interesting, though,
- 44:24Speaker 4: because there has been a lot of good Service academy football,
- 44:30Speaker 4: let's be honest, in the past dozen years or so.
- 44:33Speaker 4: You know, it started with Air Force and then of
- 44:34Speaker 4: course Navies played very well. Armies played very well recently.
- 44:38Speaker 4: So in addition to all their academic and you know,
- 44:44Speaker 4: going through military school, et cetera, they have fielded some
- 44:47Speaker 4: darn good football teams. So I applaud Troy, which is
- 44:50Speaker 4: a small college. As you guys said, of going out
- 44:53Speaker 4: their years in advance with these specific goals in mind,
- 44:57Speaker 4: you know, to play to play Army and adding these
- 45:01Speaker 4: games to the future series. I think it's great stuff.
- 45:03Speaker 4: I really do.
- 45:04Speaker 3: What are you candy for the small schools? This is
- 45:08Speaker 3: great marketing because this also helps you recruit because you've
- 45:12Speaker 3: scheduled some of these games way out in advance. So
- 45:17Speaker 3: kudos to them. I mean, I think that it's smart.
- 45:21Speaker 3: It gives them they know who they're going to be playing,
- 45:26Speaker 3: and it'll make it easier for the schedule makers.
- 45:29Speaker 5: Okay, well I'll tell you.
- 45:31Speaker 6: Let me have one more thing about Army military football
- 45:35Speaker 6: in general, because this was such an interesting comment. Ruff
- 45:39Speaker 6: and McNeil used to be the head coach at East
- 45:41Speaker 6: Carolina and then he was late. In fact, his offensive
- 45:45Speaker 6: coordinator was Lincoln Riley, and when Lincoln Riley was the
- 45:49Speaker 6: head coach at Oklahoma, he brought rough and back with
- 45:52Speaker 6: him and one year Army played at Oklahoma and Oklahoma
- 45:58Speaker 6: had to go to overtime to beat them because Army
- 46:02Speaker 6: had controlled the ball so much. Kyler Murray was never
- 46:05Speaker 6: on the field and ruffin can you talk about going
- 46:11Speaker 6: against the academy teams, because he also had to play
- 46:14Speaker 6: Navy annually when he was at East Carolina, and he
- 46:17Speaker 6: said he used to always tell his players, these guys
- 46:20Speaker 6: are as heavily as recruited as you were. But let
- 46:24Speaker 6: me tell you this, they aren't gonna be afraid of you.
- 46:31Speaker 4: That's a good one time. I love it.
- 46:33Speaker 1: Where you'll have more when you do the Shanahan Report
- 46:35Speaker 1: later as well. I'll tell you what we're gonna go
- 46:37Speaker 1: to some of the schedule way sooner than that game.
- 46:39Speaker 1: UNC and Butler will starting home and home series in
- 46:44Speaker 1: Chapel Hill during the twenty during the twenty twenty six
- 46:47Speaker 1: twenty seventh series. I'll tell you one thing, this will
- 46:50Speaker 1: be a pretty good little match up because when they
- 46:51Speaker 1: get to hankle Field House. You know, you talk about
- 46:54Speaker 1: where Hoosiers was filmed, but who's when you think of
- 46:58Speaker 1: Butler and North Carolina pretty interesting, Tommy, what do you
- 47:00Speaker 1: think about how that one was handled there? I kind
- 47:03Speaker 1: of like this I'm gonna treat by Butler and North Carolina.
- 47:05Speaker 7: North Carolina's gonna play at Butler. Is that it?
- 47:08Speaker 1: Whether it's a home and home series between the two,
- 47:11Speaker 1: which actually starts on twenty twenty sixth seven.
- 47:15Speaker 7: Yeah, it's great. It's not surprising coming from North Carolina.
- 47:20Speaker 6: They have great tradition in North Carolina and great respect
- 47:23Speaker 6: for tradition and history.
- 47:25Speaker 7: Hubert Davis goes back all the way to.
- 47:29Speaker 5: You know, he was a.
- 47:30Speaker 6: Player there and then a long time assistant coach and
- 47:33Speaker 6: so it's all connected with Dean Smith and Roy Williams.
- 47:37Speaker 7: So it doesn't surprise me a bit. It's very typical
- 47:40Speaker 7: of North Carolina Candy.
- 47:45Speaker 3: The teams obviously will play in Chapel Hill either November
- 47:49Speaker 3: or December twenty twenty six, before the Bulldogs host the
- 47:52Speaker 3: Tar Hills at Hinkle Fieldhouse in neither November or December
- 47:57Speaker 3: of twenty twenty seven. The two programs have a six
- 48:00Speaker 3: previous meetings. The teams first met during the nineteen twenty
- 48:06Speaker 3: eight twenty nine season, with Butler winning atk Hankle Fieldhouse.
- 48:15Speaker 3: U n C is one the only meeting that took
- 48:19Speaker 3: place at Chapel Hill back in ninety four. So the
- 48:23Speaker 3: three most recent games have all been played on neutral courts,
- 48:27Speaker 3: and North Carolina has been ranked among the top ten
- 48:30Speaker 3: nationally in each of the tips. But I just I
- 48:34Speaker 3: think it's I think it's good. I think it's good
- 48:36Speaker 3: for teams to play some of the noteworthy schools, and
- 48:44Speaker 3: you know that they haven't played in a long time,
- 48:48Speaker 3: so I think it's good to you know, bring some
- 48:50Speaker 3: new blood and some new matchups for us to like
- 48:54Speaker 3: and get excited for.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Yeah, when this one came up there, this was an
- 48:57Speaker 1: old brainer for sure. Thank you very much. We appreciate
- 49:01Speaker 1: you being here. I hope you're a subscriber for the
- 49:04Speaker 1: soft Fold attributing YouTube channel, and please put your hurts on.
- 49:07Speaker 1: We enjoy having it in here. You're a great contributor
- 49:10Speaker 1: in the chat room. We need more, likely, Earl, so
- 49:12Speaker 1: great stuff. Your contributions have been nottually short about standing
- 49:16Speaker 1: with a five million exclamation points.
- 49:18Speaker 5: Thanks Earl. Here's the real deal, Okay, Mervin.
- 49:22Speaker 8: This is great for college basketball. These are two proud programs,
- 49:26Speaker 8: obviously different level, Butler's a smaller school and uh, but
- 49:30Speaker 8: you know they've been to the national title in the
- 49:32Speaker 8: last five to seven years. I don't know how when
- 49:35Speaker 8: that was. They made a run and you know they
- 49:38Speaker 8: were on the national scene. People know who they are.
- 49:41Speaker 8: And Chapel Hill is again. Here we go up to
- 49:43Speaker 8: the third Segway Michael Jordan. You know Chapel Hill is
- 49:46Speaker 8: Chapel Hill, you know, so they are, you know, at
- 49:49Speaker 8: the mountaintop with Duke in Kentucky and that school across
- 49:53Speaker 8: town in Los Angeles. Uh, just as an all time team,
- 49:56Speaker 8: and you know, it'd be great, it'd be it'd be
- 49:59Speaker 8: great for the FA great further alum, and I look
- 50:02Speaker 8: forward to watching that game.
- 50:04Speaker 9: Jacob Well, I love what he said. Army is the
- 50:08Speaker 9: way army, you know that kind of stuff. Just wait
- 50:10Speaker 9: till Spaceports gets a football team. Okay, they're really going
- 50:13Speaker 9: to take it, but come on, but no, the big
- 50:20Speaker 9: one of the things about it, I remember it was
- 50:21Speaker 9: twenty fifteen, I believe when Butler almost won that game
- 50:24Speaker 9: with a half four shot against Duke. But but the
- 50:30Speaker 9: but one of the things that we know. But one
- 50:31Speaker 9: of the things it was a twenty it was something today,
- 50:34Speaker 9: but it was really a little farther back when we think.
- 50:36Speaker 9: But one of the things that we see with Butler
- 50:39Speaker 9: is the fact that all of these times everybody's talking
- 50:42Speaker 9: about that they're a smaller team and stuff. How do
- 50:44Speaker 9: we know that that could be a powerhouse by that
- 50:45Speaker 9: point and like I mean, I came from a school
- 50:49Speaker 9: called Lee University in Tennessee, but I helped with a
- 50:52Speaker 9: movie called that Keep the Flame Alive their naia and
- 50:55Speaker 9: that was a miracle to make ANAA. Now they're full
- 50:58Speaker 9: fledged Division two. Who knows that they start winning go
- 51:01Speaker 9: D one. You know, even by I mean we go
- 51:04Speaker 9: back to these points, you never know, things go quicker.
- 51:07Speaker 9: So I mean Butler could be the powerhouse by that point.
- 51:10Speaker 9: We're talking smaller school right now, they could easily be
- 51:13Speaker 9: a powerhouse to win two national titles. We don't know,
- 51:15Speaker 9: And don't say no to that, George.
- 51:20Speaker 4: Yeah, and just to follow up with what Candy was
- 51:23Speaker 4: saying in North Carolina Butler have met six times, but
- 51:26Speaker 4: you know, the two programs are completely different in many ways.
- 51:31Speaker 4: Obviously a big powerhouse against a smaller school. But you
- 51:35Speaker 4: know that Sweet sixteen of twenty seventeen, I believe it
- 51:39Speaker 4: was when the Tar Hills beat Butler in ninety two
- 51:43Speaker 4: to eighty. It says in Memphis, this is good and
- 51:48Speaker 4: it's not way out like the other series we talked about.
- 51:50Speaker 4: A football this is coming up rather quickly. As you
- 51:53Speaker 4: mentioned two O twenty twenty sixth season and the twenty
- 51:56Speaker 4: twenty seven back at Hinko. It's gonna be fun. And
- 52:00Speaker 4: Butler has done a nice job, let's face it, in
- 52:03Speaker 4: college basketball for many years now, they've done a really
- 52:07Speaker 4: good job. So I'm happy for them. And like you
- 52:11Speaker 4: guys were saying, who knows, maybe they'll be one of
- 52:13Speaker 4: the powerhouses back then. But obviously when you sign up
- 52:16Speaker 4: to play North Carolina, you better be ready because you
- 52:19Speaker 4: know it's going to be a hell of a game
- 52:20Speaker 4: and a hell of an effort, even if it is
- 52:22Speaker 4: a couple of years of the in the future. But
- 52:24Speaker 4: I'm glad they're doing this. This is great stuff.
- 52:27Speaker 5: Well, I like this matchup. I really do.
- 52:29Speaker 1: Talk about the Heagle Field House and history. Butler has
- 52:31Speaker 1: a much bigger history than most people really.
- 52:33Speaker 5: Think that they do. And we all know about UNC.
- 52:35Speaker 5: Everybody talk about this whole thing.
- 52:38Speaker 4: Yep.
- 52:38Speaker 5: Okay, well good.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Let's go back to the first week of the college
- 52:42Speaker 1: football season when Ohio State brought in a bag I'll
- 52:49Speaker 1: tell you a week one versus Texas. Get this, they
- 52:51Speaker 1: got eighteen million bucks and I mean against the Texas Longhorns.
- 52:56Speaker 1: According to adve Rons Peyork, he told inside the boardroom
- 53:00Speaker 1: the game drove eighteen million in ticket sales and a
- 53:03Speaker 1: school record three million concessions. You talk about a home
- 53:08Speaker 1: run at the box office, Tommy, this one was definitely it.
- 53:13Speaker 7: That's what was the best part about it.
- 53:15Speaker 6: Because Texas has gone down hill ever since then started there.
- 53:22Speaker 5: We're all talking more about them on Tuesday next week.
- 53:25Speaker 6: But go ahead, yeah, well, Io State they have a
- 53:30Speaker 6: cash register there so and they just keep ringing it up.
- 53:34Speaker 5: Eighteen million dollars. It just blows me away.
- 53:37Speaker 1: Eighteen million in ticket, three million concessions, candy. What do
- 53:41Speaker 1: you think about this?
- 53:43Speaker 3: I mean it was one of the premier matchups for
- 53:45Speaker 3: that weekend and everybody was talking about it for how long?
- 53:48Speaker 3: And so I mean they were going to sell out
- 53:51Speaker 3: of course everybody. You know, I believe was that a
- 53:55Speaker 3: day game or was it a night game? I don't remember.
- 53:58Speaker 5: It was a day game.
- 53:58Speaker 3: If I remember, I mean a day game. People are
- 54:01Speaker 3: gonna be thirsty. Let's face it, in the sun, you're
- 54:05Speaker 3: sitting in an outdoor stadium, you want sincessions are gonna
- 54:10Speaker 3: you know, skyrocket. Good kudos to Ohio State.
- 54:17Speaker 5: Mark.
- 54:18Speaker 8: You know, when you see these see these kind of numbers,
- 54:20Speaker 8: you realize, uh, it's never not not about football. This
- 54:24Speaker 8: is big business, you know, and it blows my mind that,
- 54:28Speaker 8: you know, the storm is kind of quieted down a
- 54:30Speaker 8: little bit. The noise is quite a down about ni
- 54:33Speaker 8: L and you know, the people being upset because players
- 54:35Speaker 8: are getting paid. It blows my mind how much money
- 54:39Speaker 8: these players are generating, how many billions of dollars are
- 54:42Speaker 8: being generated on the backstage players and you have people
- 54:46Speaker 8: who really had a problem with them, you know, getting
- 54:49Speaker 8: this a piece of it, you know, whatever was whatever
- 54:52Speaker 8: was agreed upon in the settlement. The schools are making
- 54:55Speaker 8: over like a fat rat. You don't hear the presidents
- 54:58Speaker 8: and the ads complaining because they making big money. These
- 55:00Speaker 8: schools is making you know, two hundred million dollars plus
- 55:03Speaker 8: a year just on football, you know, the biggest it's
- 55:07Speaker 8: the biggest business on campus. So listen, doesn't surprise me.
- 55:11Speaker 8: These are mega programs, you know, these the these stadium
- 55:15Speaker 8: fees and the food and the drinks. Uh some of
- 55:18Speaker 8: this call these costs are high. And when you pack
- 55:22Speaker 8: stadiums with a bunch of loyal, loyal fan base, they
- 55:26Speaker 8: gonna spend that money. And you see it. You know, listen,
- 55:29Speaker 8: we're talking about that game. Look at look at what
- 55:32Speaker 8: they make every game, regardless of who they're playing. You know,
- 55:34Speaker 8: these major programs. So this is big business. You know,
- 55:38Speaker 8: the numbers in the reality the business is now you
- 55:40Speaker 8: know being told we're seeing it and you know, good
- 55:43Speaker 8: for the game, great for the players, Jacob.
- 55:48Speaker 9: Look, no, that you got the wrong numbers there, Candy.
- 55:51Speaker 9: The eighteen million dollars is actually what went to Matthew
- 55:53Speaker 9: McConaughey to pump up the Texas to lose at the game.
- 55:57Speaker 9: But the but the the big thing, the big thing
- 56:02Speaker 9: about it is the fact that this is why, this
- 56:05Speaker 9: is why, that's you never know about being play like
- 56:09Speaker 9: we were bringing up from the last time of who
- 56:11Speaker 9: can make it, who's going to have the money? See,
- 56:14Speaker 9: one of the biggest I can say this I brought
- 56:16Speaker 9: up my school earlier. They don't have a football team
- 56:18Speaker 9: and they won't. But one of the things that they
- 56:20Speaker 9: have reminded me of is years and years ago they
- 56:22Speaker 9: made a student union for like twenty five million from
- 56:25Speaker 9: Richard de Voss, who was who was with the Orlando Magic.
- 56:29Speaker 9: He went to the league, so he got that kind
- 56:31Speaker 9: of thing. There's so you never know who goes to
- 56:34Speaker 9: these little schools who could put that kind of money
- 56:38Speaker 9: out there and make them big, very very fast. And
- 56:41Speaker 9: so Ohio State, so Ohio State getting that kind of money.
- 56:45Speaker 9: Of course, they paid the most to get the national
- 56:47Speaker 9: title this year. Can guy last year? Congratulations to him.
- 56:50Speaker 9: Texas pays the most to well get eight wins, Congratulations
- 56:55Speaker 9: to them, you know. But the big the thing is
- 56:59Speaker 9: it is going to be the pay. And it's like
- 57:01Speaker 9: one thing that I hope from this and I hope
- 57:04Speaker 9: this happens, is I hope that some of these players
- 57:08Speaker 9: have better nil money, that they stay at these schools
- 57:11Speaker 9: for a while instead of going straight to the NFL.
- 57:14Speaker 8: And I've already seen it, but you've already seen it's
- 57:17Speaker 8: already happening.
- 57:17Speaker 9: And I hope that thing because I hope, du say.
- 57:21Speaker 9: I'm not saying this is part of the thing. I'm
- 57:22Speaker 9: saying this. I hope the shaduor Sanders thing is a
- 57:24Speaker 9: cautionary tale and they stay a bit. I really do,
- 57:28Speaker 9: because college college college football can only benefit from that,
- 57:33Speaker 9: get the better players.
- 57:34Speaker 7: You know.
- 57:35Speaker 9: It's like, I'm not saying that is bad or doing anything.
- 57:37Speaker 9: What I'm saying is just what happened. And the whole
- 57:40Speaker 9: ramifications of everything. I just hope people think about it
- 57:43Speaker 9: a little bit. Stay in college.
- 57:45Speaker 1: Hey, Tommy, I have a few more football topics. Can
- 57:47Speaker 1: you stay on for the rest of the football And no,
- 57:49Speaker 1: it's telling about ten or fifteen minutes.
- 57:51Speaker 5: Is that okay? It's a little bit too late for you.
- 57:53Speaker 7: That's okay.
- 57:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want to make sure that's okay with you,
- 57:56Speaker 1: because I do have some football George, you got the
- 57:58Speaker 1: last word on this, and I have a few more
- 57:59Speaker 1: fule topics. And Tommy, as the Shanahan Report, we go
- 58:02Speaker 1: to basketball and non sports. He doesn't have to worry
- 58:04Speaker 1: about the rest of those. I just since he's on
- 58:07Speaker 1: inside the picks and I'm sure he gets a piece
- 58:09Speaker 1: of the pigskin action.
- 58:11Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead, George, Yeah, just it is.
- 58:14Speaker 4: It's a college football is such a big business right now,
- 58:17Speaker 4: Like you guys have said, And that game was touted,
- 58:20Speaker 4: that was touted big time. Ohio State playing Texas and
- 58:24Speaker 4: last year the University of Michigan played Texas. This year
- 58:27Speaker 4: Michigan played Oklahoma. I'd like to see these games that
- 58:30Speaker 4: we normally don't see, these rivalries that have been unfortunately
- 58:34Speaker 4: extinct for quite a number of years. I think this
- 58:37Speaker 4: is important to college football. The payouts are unbelievable. Well,
- 58:41Speaker 4: when you have big stadiums like that Michigan State and
- 58:44Speaker 4: I'm sorry Michigan and Ohio State and Penn State and Tennessee,
- 58:48Speaker 4: all these great, big stadiums, it's no wonder that these
- 58:52Speaker 4: payoffs are so huge. But the commercial aspect and obviously
- 58:55Speaker 4: the advertising drives all these prices as well. And you know,
- 59:00Speaker 4: college football is just you don't like the farm team
- 59:02Speaker 4: of the NFL.
- 59:03Speaker 8: So these big.
- 59:03Speaker 4: Payouts are going to continue and even get higher.
- 59:06Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, George, immaciently, how you mentioned that too, Kandy.
- 59:10Speaker 5: I'll bring in a second.
- 59:11Speaker 1: We're going to have a future segment on some of
- 59:13Speaker 1: the bigger stadiums on Inside the Pitchkin and how many
- 59:16Speaker 1: of our athletes on the show have been there.
- 59:19Speaker 5: That's probably in about a week or two Maro and
- 59:20Speaker 5: just you know, in a couple of weeks, go ahead,
- 59:23Speaker 5: Candy could.
- 59:24Speaker 3: The only thing I did want to add to all
- 59:26Speaker 3: of this discussion is is that back in January of
- 59:31Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, the Ohio State Athletics claims that they
- 59:37Speaker 3: operated the previous year with a thirty seven point seven
- 59:41Speaker 3: million dollar deficit, but they did not make revenue from
- 59:46Speaker 3: all the you know we take. We talk about this
- 59:48Speaker 3: big business, all this football money comes in, but we
- 59:51Speaker 3: forget there's coaches salaries, there's all kinds of other expenses.
- 59:55Speaker 3: Nil trying to you know, figure out the whole scheme
- 59:59Speaker 3: of things. Ohio State, with all that money that they
- 1:00:02Speaker 3: took in last year, they operated on a deficit of
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: thirty seven point seven million.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: Great sub Candie, all right, you know what, we'll go
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: to one more football topic. We'll go to a station break,
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: and then we'll have a couple more football topics go
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: than the Shanahan report will be.
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: As time he.
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Gets ready to go, I could give us a little
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: review there. And that's just we started our evening off
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: with no limits. Now I have another thing related to
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: no limits. One armed on Northwestern running back has no limits.
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: Albert Kuneck the third hung is having a childhood dream
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: to play Division one football. So Albert Konnick the third
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: is living out his childhood dream to play Division one football. Tommy,
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: what are your thoughts about? I told you I come
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: up with some interesting ones. Now we got a guy
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: with one armed with no limits with his division one
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: living on his foot Division one college football?
- 1:01:00Speaker 7: Is he a freshman? I haven't heard about this guy.
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: I don't know, but Candy, knowing her, she'll find it.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: But just think a guy with one arm playing division Well.
- 1:01:08Speaker 7: Yeah what what?
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: What doer?
- 1:01:09Speaker 6: What kind of a player? He was in high school
- 1:01:11Speaker 6: and end up in Northwestern? He had to be pretty good. Yeah,
- 1:01:16Speaker 6: it's a great story. More power to him, you know.
- 1:01:18Speaker 6: And he's not the first one though. The was it
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: Central Florida US You see f that had the guy with.
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: The oh yeah yeah, Shaq Griffin. Right, yeah, there were.
- 1:01:31Speaker 7: The two brothers.
- 1:01:32Speaker 6: There was almost all American level player and then his
- 1:01:35Speaker 6: other His brother had a deformed arhim or something. But
- 1:01:38Speaker 6: he was a very good, good player, so may more
- 1:01:42Speaker 6: power to him.
- 1:01:44Speaker 1: Hey let's say he's going to journalism school anyways, my gosh,
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: I mean, he's smart there.
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: He'll know what we talk about.
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: But the fact he's playing football, he will know exactly
- 1:01:52Speaker 1: what's going on. So I figured, hey, we got to
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: show with no limits. We've got to go out there
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: and probably their show in addition to talk about this guy,
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: Candy e anything on this guy.
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: I'm so doing research, So go ahead, Marvin listen.
- 1:02:06Speaker 8: It is highly impressive. I'm highly impressed, and just speaks
- 1:02:10Speaker 8: to his passion and commitment and dedication. It's hard for
- 1:02:14Speaker 8: me to believe that a person with one arm can
- 1:02:17Speaker 8: compete in college football, just with my understanding of how
- 1:02:21Speaker 8: the game is played and what my mentality was as
- 1:02:24Speaker 8: a leading black as a run block and fullback. But
- 1:02:28Speaker 8: kudos to him. It's great for the game, it's a
- 1:02:31Speaker 8: great story. It's going to inspire a lot of people
- 1:02:35Speaker 8: who are dealing with dealing with stuff much less than
- 1:02:38Speaker 8: what he has. So hey, good for you.
- 1:02:41Speaker 5: Go get it Jacob in your backyard.
- 1:02:46Speaker 9: Oh absolutely, I absolutely understand that. And let me tell
- 1:02:50Speaker 9: you this, mar between the fifty nine year old that's
- 1:02:52Speaker 9: played as a freshman in that college, the one armed guy.
- 1:02:56Speaker 9: You are ready for your comeback. I know you have
- 1:02:58Speaker 9: no pain whatsoever. I know I know you're into perfect shape.
- 1:03:02Speaker 9: You're ready. I know it's your time.
- 1:03:06Speaker 8: I'm trying to get to the Hall of Fame of
- 1:03:07Speaker 8: podcasting with Scott. I'm chasing Scott right now. I'm not
- 1:03:10Speaker 8: chasing Tom Brady. I'm not chasing me.
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: I'm chasing me. You're on my team. You're not chasing me.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: You're with me, you know what I mean different wait
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait, And I'm a professor and you're
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: the people here, my brother, yeah, chasing me.
- 1:03:24Speaker 5: You're on my team and you're winning. Brother, I don't
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: even go there. You're chasing. You're like Robert Redford. You're
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: the natural. If I ever saw one.
- 1:03:35Speaker 9: Part of my point I'm gonna make here, this is
- 1:03:40Speaker 9: the part of the point I make here is gonna
- 1:03:42Speaker 9: be another subject real quick to just give me the
- 1:03:43Speaker 9: guys that warning. This just shows what physical training does now.
- 1:03:49Speaker 9: We have a one armed man going into football, and
- 1:03:51Speaker 9: you have a fifty nine year old going into football.
- 1:03:53Speaker 9: You had all those I just saw. I mean I
- 1:03:56Speaker 9: just saw d DP helping Lex Luger get off the
- 1:03:59Speaker 9: wheelchair from yoga for you know, and it's like I
- 1:04:03Speaker 9: saw him. He got he literally got off of he's
- 1:04:06Speaker 9: getting him off of a wheelchair to try to get
- 1:04:08Speaker 9: him to walk from yoga. It's like it's like there
- 1:04:11Speaker 9: are It just shows the advancements of physical training now
- 1:04:16Speaker 9: and what the things that you can be able to do.
- 1:04:18Speaker 9: I mean there are things like Parkinson's Hey, new boxing
- 1:04:22Speaker 9: classes and music classes. It's like there, see the thing
- 1:04:25Speaker 9: is now anybody that says they can't do it. Before
- 1:04:28Speaker 9: they would say can't do it. And it's like you
- 1:04:30Speaker 9: have a fifty percent thing. If somebody's saying, yeah, you're right,
- 1:04:34Speaker 9: but you have YouTube, you have all these things now
- 1:04:37Speaker 9: showing that that's wrong. That's just you, that's just you
- 1:04:40Speaker 9: being lazy. So there, everybody has that option. Everybody has
- 1:04:44Speaker 9: that thing to put that extra mile. So it just
- 1:04:47Speaker 9: shows that right now, George.
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: Or who hasn't this?
- 1:04:51Speaker 4: Yeah, I yeah, just real quick, uh yeah, this is
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: a This is great. You know. I always love to
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: see the kids trying out and pushing himselves even more
- 1:05:00Speaker 4: and more. You know, sometimes on your local newscast too,
- 1:05:03Speaker 4: you'll see where a high school team one of the
- 1:05:06Speaker 4: kids is in a special needs program of some sort,
- 1:05:09Speaker 4: and they'll help him, you know, with the with the
- 1:05:11Speaker 4: huddle and then you know, carry him across the goal
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: line and that kind of stuff, you know, which is great.
- 1:05:16Speaker 4: This this, I applaud this young man. I think this
- 1:05:19Speaker 4: is a great thing to do. And I know I'm
- 1:05:22Speaker 4: comparing amples and oranges, but boil boy. When you have
- 1:05:24Speaker 4: an injury like that, whether you're in sports or just
- 1:05:27Speaker 4: everyday life, I mean, your challenge is out there, So
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: I think it's great. I give the kid all the
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: credit in the world.
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: All right, Katy, so he he, Okay, we're gonna go
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: back to high school. First of all, he attended Lamont
- 1:05:43Speaker 3: High School in Lamont, Illinois. In his senior season, he
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: rushed for one thousand, three hundred and ninety three yards
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: nine point one yards per carry, and scored twenty two
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns, leading Lamont to Class
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: six A State quarterfinals, first team All State in the
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: second round of States. In his senior campaign, he scored
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: six touchdowns also served as a kicker for Lamont. Now
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, he did not see any game action
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: with Northwestern twenty twenty three. Red shirt first year. He
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: made his college debut against UTEP twenty twenty four red
- 1:06:29Speaker 3: shirt shirt sophomore. Appeared in three contests as a red
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: shirt sophomore, logged his first career carry for three yards
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter of a win against Maryland. He
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: came on as a north came to Northwestern as a
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: preferred walk.
- 1:06:44Speaker 5: On great stuff. All right, let's go to New York.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: Russell Wilson had lost eighth street games the last time
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: he had ended obviously dating back to December eighth of
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, The Giants of Benjamin Favorite of Jackson Dart.
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: We all know full well, Tommy, that this was a
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: way for Brian Dable to try to save his job.
- 1:07:06Speaker 1: And I realized that Dart, Lawson, Norley and Saints. But
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: that's a have up in New York with the Giants.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: My goodness, it is really Russe Ledden up there, Russell Wilson.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: We all know what's going to be traded by the
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: end of the year. Jackson Dark a good player, Ryan Davill,
- 1:07:21Speaker 1: Wi'll get used to what unemployment it's going to be.
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: Like I said, won't be long, because even Dart's not
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: gonna say it. What are your thoughts about what's going
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: on with the Giants, Tommy.
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: Well, Russell Wilson was done last year and as soon
- 1:07:35Speaker 6: as you how desperate the Giants were that they.
- 1:07:37Speaker 7: Even signed him. Jackson Dart has got to be their future.
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: And they've they've screwed up their succession plan for a
- 1:07:46Speaker 6: quarterback and they got themselves with an empty quarterback room
- 1:07:50Speaker 6: and now they're forced to play this rookie and hopefully
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: they don't get him beat up. And from what I understand,
- 1:07:58Speaker 6: I haven't watched him play, but what I understand, he's
- 1:08:00Speaker 6: been very promising in the playing time he's had Candy.
- 1:08:06Speaker 3: How interesting though, that they had Russell Wilson. Remember they
- 1:08:11Speaker 3: also have Jameis Winston, and Cincinnati went shopping for a
- 1:08:16Speaker 3: quarterback and they didn't look at either of them. They
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: went with Joe Flacco from Cleveland. So that's really interesting Wilson.
- 1:08:28Speaker 3: As much as I loved Wilson because he, yes, he
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: played one year at Wisconsin did well, I just I
- 1:08:37Speaker 3: don't think he has that fire in his you know,
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: within him anymore. And I think it's it shows and
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: sometimes you you outlast really what you should. And maybe
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: it's just time for him to retire. But yeah, that's.
- 1:08:59Speaker 8: You know, it's funny we talk about Flacco. I think
- 1:09:02Speaker 8: they're at the same point of their career right now.
- 1:09:04Speaker 8: Both of these guys super Bowl champions, and both these
- 1:09:08Speaker 8: guys were franchise quarterbacks and now it looks like they're
- 1:09:11Speaker 8: both journeymen, you know, just going to you know, be
- 1:09:14Speaker 8: bridge quarterbacks, you know, for for ten fifteen million dollars
- 1:09:18Speaker 8: a year. You know, it's sad because Russell. You know
- 1:09:21Speaker 8: in that Cowboy game he do for four hundred and
- 1:09:24Speaker 8: fifty yards. You know, he's made some plays. You know,
- 1:09:27Speaker 8: he's looked okay at times. Jackson Darts to the future,
- 1:09:32Speaker 8: you know, Dave balls trying to save his job. As
- 1:09:34Speaker 8: you said, Scott, he's going with the young gun. There
- 1:09:37Speaker 8: are twelve more games to be played. There's a lot
- 1:09:39Speaker 8: of football to be played. This kid will gain more
- 1:09:42Speaker 8: confidence every game. The game will slow down a little bit.
- 1:09:48Speaker 8: But at the same time, when these defense again, when
- 1:09:50Speaker 8: these defensive coordinators kind of figure out what you can
- 1:09:53Speaker 8: do and what you can't do, they're going to force
- 1:09:55Speaker 8: your hand to put you in a bad position. And
- 1:09:56Speaker 8: they can do that. They do that. So this would
- 1:10:00Speaker 8: be interesting. It would be Listen, if they win, if
- 1:10:03Speaker 8: they want to run and they win the last eight
- 1:10:05Speaker 8: games of the season, maybe they have some If they
- 1:10:07Speaker 8: go on you know, they going to run and they
- 1:10:09Speaker 8: go six and two last eight games of the season,
- 1:10:12Speaker 8: we'll see. But Dart's a player. He was good at
- 1:10:15Speaker 8: USC and I think he'll be okay to pros.
- 1:10:19Speaker 9: Jacob, Well, just think of it this way. You've got
- 1:10:22Speaker 9: Jackson Dart and you've got Camp Scataboo, and they're like
- 1:10:25Speaker 9: and they're like wine from the wine from Costco, the
- 1:10:27Speaker 9: exciting whites. But but the but the big but you know,
- 1:10:32Speaker 9: But the thing is they're gonna be fun. They're gonna
- 1:10:34Speaker 9: be They're gonna be fun to see. New York giants
- 1:10:37Speaker 9: usually don't have a whole lot to look forward to.
- 1:10:41Speaker 9: I mean, they get excited two years in a row
- 1:10:43Speaker 9: for Tommy DeVito because they could do this. They can
- 1:10:48Speaker 9: do this all the time, and they can talk about
- 1:10:49Speaker 9: the cutlets and they go have all that kind of stuff.
- 1:10:52Speaker 9: That's how bad offense bends they're gonna have regardless of
- 1:10:56Speaker 9: how they do the rest of the year, they're gonna
- 1:10:58Speaker 9: have fun there. Scoutaboo, I mean he eats crayons and
- 1:11:02Speaker 9: paste and his bags through yet he just he has
- 1:11:05Speaker 9: actually no brain with the game whatsoever. He's just he's
- 1:11:08Speaker 9: fun to watch like that, and dark he runs and
- 1:11:12Speaker 9: he I mean, he makes some good plays and he's
- 1:11:14Speaker 9: definitely reading the field better than Russell Wilson. I mean,
- 1:11:18Speaker 9: but one good thing about Russell Wilson, at least I
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: had time to do that. Do more dips on the sidelines, George.
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: I'm not giving up totally on Russell. But boy, it
- 1:11:28Speaker 4: sure looks to bleak right now with the Giants. I mean,
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: you know, he had those great years like you were
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: talking about Marvin in Seattle and then Denver for a
- 1:11:36Speaker 4: couple of years, and Pittsburgh of course, and that didn't
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: work out either a year ago. Yeah, his numbers just
- 1:11:42Speaker 4: are out there. The numbers have dropped so much. His
- 1:11:45Speaker 4: his completion rates and his interceptions has increased, and even
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: his yards average on a pass has decreased the last
- 1:11:54Speaker 4: few years. A great career, but he just doesn't seem
- 1:11:58Speaker 4: I think you're right, Candy. No fire in the belly,
- 1:12:02Speaker 4: as they say, maybe there's something lacking there. I know
- 1:12:06Speaker 4: he's got, you know, a home life, but all the
- 1:12:09Speaker 4: players have that. He's got a wonderful family, I'm sure,
- 1:12:13Speaker 4: And I don't know. I mean, at his age, it
- 1:12:16Speaker 4: doesn't look good right now. And I think the Giants
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: are doing the right thing, Scott and bringing the youngster
- 1:12:21Speaker 4: on board and starting him instead.
- 1:12:24Speaker 5: Well, I'll summarize it this way.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: Russell Wilson should have been with the Raiders and he
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: should have been with Pete Carroll and I'll leave it
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: at that. So Tommy two more football topics to get
- 1:12:33Speaker 1: to than to Shanahan report. That will take it the
- 1:12:35Speaker 1: rest of the way. Number One, we all knew that
- 1:12:38Speaker 1: Baltimore Rats were a train wreck earlier in the year
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: because an opening week they had collapse to the Buffalo
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: Bills and now had bloom. Excuse me, John Harball has
- 1:12:50Speaker 1: now blown seventeen double digit half leads, the most by
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: anti coach since nineteen ninety one. Now the narrative gets
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: even worse. Okay, the Ravens are on pace to become
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: the first team to allow six hundred points, and through
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: Week five, the Ravens have allowed one hundred and seventy
- 1:13:09Speaker 1: seven points. And they've gone out there and had one
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five last all of last season. So
- 1:13:15Speaker 1: let's get back to the first one. Blowing a seven
- 1:13:19Speaker 1: blown seventeen double digit second half leads as unbelievable and
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: Tommy it is on call for.
- 1:13:28Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, coaches lose their ads, franchises lose their
- 1:13:32Speaker 6: touch on drafts developing players. That seems to all be
- 1:13:36Speaker 6: happening at Baltimore. I feel sorry for Lamar Jackson. I've
- 1:13:40Speaker 6: always loved him since he was in Louisvio. I always
- 1:13:44Speaker 6: remember at the ACC kickoff media days after he won
- 1:13:47Speaker 6: the Heisman Trophy, people, he was being questioned about.
- 1:13:50Speaker 7: The pressure he was under, I gotta win another Heisman?
- 1:13:54Speaker 7: What kind of pressure he faced? And Lamar Jackson said,
- 1:13:57Speaker 7: I wasn't trying to win it last year.
- 1:14:00Speaker 6: The boar was like Jim Since said, and apparently his
- 1:14:04Speaker 6: super Bowl window is closed.
- 1:14:07Speaker 7: So I feel sorry for that for Lamar Jackson.
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, and Candy. Some talks about what's going on in Baltimore.
- 1:14:17Speaker 3: This might not be a popular opinion, but my question
- 1:14:22Speaker 3: to all of you is, if they've blown so many
- 1:14:27Speaker 3: first half leads, what are the coaches doing at halftime?
- 1:14:30Speaker 3: What are they not doing? What are the opponents coaching
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: doing at halftime to make the adjustments to be able
- 1:14:37Speaker 3: to stop them and to be able to come back
- 1:14:39Speaker 3: against them. So I put a lot of that on
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: coaching because if you, you know, you obviously coached well
- 1:14:45Speaker 3: in the first half because you have the lead, what
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: did you change or what did the other team change
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: to come bat you to be able to come back
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: on you in the second half?
- 1:14:58Speaker 8: Great points, Katy all right, Marvin Candy hit it on ahead.
- 1:15:01Speaker 8: Halftime is all about adjustment. It's all about adjustments, and yeah,
- 1:15:05Speaker 8: this is a football is a game of chess. You know,
- 1:15:07Speaker 8: you get out there at these big old brutes and
- 1:15:10Speaker 8: you see, you know, you see you see them beat
- 1:15:11Speaker 8: each other up. But it's a chess match, man, Believe me.
- 1:15:14Speaker 8: It is a lot of a lot of details, and
- 1:15:17Speaker 8: and those halftime of adjustments are everything. So what you're
- 1:15:20Speaker 8: seeing is the Ravens being out coached at halftime and
- 1:15:25Speaker 8: in that moment, and it's it's showing up in the
- 1:15:27Speaker 8: scoreboard and it's consistent and it's so there's a problem there.
- 1:15:31Speaker 8: And with that said, it doesn't help when you know
- 1:15:34Speaker 8: when your two time m v p UH, you know,
- 1:15:37Speaker 8: in regards to this year, your two times m v
- 1:15:39Speaker 8: p UH isn't playing, and that your your top six
- 1:15:43Speaker 8: highest paid players are not playing. That's tough. You know,
- 1:15:48Speaker 8: it's tough to win in the NFL, in the salary
- 1:15:51Speaker 8: cap NFL where your six highest paid players are on
- 1:15:55Speaker 8: the bench. So listen until they get healthy, specifically specifically
- 1:16:00Speaker 8: at quarterback, this could be really ugly. And regardless of
- 1:16:04Speaker 8: aim I mentioning to get in the first half, if
- 1:16:07Speaker 8: they're getting out coach like this and they don't have
- 1:16:10Speaker 8: their quarterback and they don't have the top six guys
- 1:16:12Speaker 8: they're paying. This could be very ugly for Baltimore. And
- 1:16:15Speaker 8: you can see the conversation of Harborough getting out of there.
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: Yeah, no question about it, Jacob he Candy, I can
- 1:16:25Speaker 1: sort of answer this for you.
- 1:16:27Speaker 9: Whatsoever? You got to remember why is he blowing so
- 1:16:30Speaker 9: many Look at the game plan they have for Lamar
- 1:16:33Speaker 9: by itself, which looks awesome. First quarter, second quarter, stuff
- 1:16:36Speaker 9: like that. There go twenty eight fourteen, let's just say
- 1:16:39Speaker 9: that kind of thing. At a halftime, they look great.
- 1:16:42Speaker 9: In the middle of all that movement, he gets fifteen
- 1:16:45Speaker 9: minutes to rest. That's not enough for what he's doing.
- 1:16:49Speaker 9: That's not enough of what he's doing for that kind
- 1:16:51Speaker 9: of deal. And then they're asking him to do the
- 1:16:54Speaker 9: same game plan. Meanwhile, the defense has probably put a
- 1:16:57Speaker 9: spy on it. Meanwhile, he's now gonna throw. Meanwhile, all
- 1:17:01Speaker 9: that stuff happens, especially with teams to get with KC, Buffalo,
- 1:17:05Speaker 9: all those ones they can just wait and hold. And
- 1:17:08Speaker 9: that's why the deal is. It's like it's when Greg
- 1:17:11Speaker 9: Roman was there. I always used to say Greg Roman
- 1:17:14Speaker 9: was Techno super Bowl when it came to Lamar. He
- 1:17:16Speaker 9: had four plays, the same four plays over and over
- 1:17:18Speaker 9: because everything was fun to watch. But these are the
- 1:17:22Speaker 9: these are the issues that they have, whatsoever is And
- 1:17:25Speaker 9: the same thing happened used to happen to a lesser
- 1:17:28Speaker 9: extent with Michael Vick. It's like once he was so
- 1:17:31Speaker 9: great against a lot of teams, Once he played Chicago,
- 1:17:34Speaker 9: Tampa Bay or Philadelphia, they just threw a spy on
- 1:17:37Speaker 9: him and he was dead. He won absolutely zero of
- 1:17:41Speaker 9: those games. Are those type of games, whatsoever. And once
- 1:17:45Speaker 9: you have a certain game plan that you can be
- 1:17:48Speaker 9: able to get, you can wait till they tire out.
- 1:17:50Speaker 9: You can wait till they get to their weakness. And
- 1:17:53Speaker 9: that's what's happening. And John Harball, I think he is
- 1:17:56Speaker 9: a pretty darn good coach. He's been for a good
- 1:17:59Speaker 9: long time. But he got one of the biggest things.
- 1:18:04Speaker 9: He got cocky with this kind of he got cocky
- 1:18:08Speaker 9: with this kind of this kind of talent I liked.
- 1:18:11Speaker 9: I liked Lamar. I like when they used to I
- 1:18:13Speaker 9: used to get insulted when they compared to Lamar to
- 1:18:15Speaker 9: Michael Vick. Is I always thought he was way better
- 1:18:17Speaker 9: than Michael Vick. He is that skilled. But he got
- 1:18:19Speaker 9: cocky with that, and he just keeps with that same
- 1:18:22Speaker 9: game plan over and over. Does that change it up?
- 1:18:25Speaker 4: Okay, George, that's a very good point, Jacob. You're right.
- 1:18:28Speaker 4: You've got to change up. You've got to adapt in
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: the NFL. You can't just keep throwing the same thing
- 1:18:33Speaker 4: out there. Listen, I'm not gonna blame Lamar. I mean,
- 1:18:36Speaker 4: you know, in four games, I mean he's got ten touchdowns,
- 1:18:39Speaker 4: one interception. I mean, he's still pretty good on past
- 1:18:42Speaker 4: average nine yards a pass. The running game is not there,
- 1:18:47Speaker 4: like you said earlier, and you know, Baltimore, I mean,
- 1:18:50Speaker 4: this is to me, this is shocking. I really they
- 1:18:52Speaker 4: had a tough schedule, no question about it, but I
- 1:18:54Speaker 4: expected a lot more out of them. They still can
- 1:18:57Speaker 4: salvage this, but boy o boy, they're going to have
- 1:18:59Speaker 4: to solve issues and they're gonna have to diversify that
- 1:19:02Speaker 4: offensive scheme defense, and they got tightened that up for sure.
- 1:19:06Speaker 4: So it's a very surprising stat I didn't think they
- 1:19:09Speaker 4: were going to start out one and four, Scott, but
- 1:19:11Speaker 4: they have.
- 1:19:12Speaker 1: Well it's definitely a mass but you know, we're gonna
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: share with the Baltimore team a little bit, but we're
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: gonna the final football. Now Tommy's going to do his
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: thing with the Shanahan report. Okay, I want to make
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: sure Tommy Ditch is due on that, because you're the
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: weal of a job.
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: Whip it.
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: Okay, but let's talk about the Baltimore Ravens, but in
- 1:19:29Speaker 1: a different way. The Detroit Lions in primetime drew twenty
- 1:19:33Speaker 1: two million, eight hundred and seventeen thousand versus the Ravens,
- 1:19:36Speaker 1: the most watched Monday night game since two thousand and six.
- 1:19:41Speaker 1: Get that unbelievable. You talk with the Lion made a draw.
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: My goodness, Tommy Day twenty two million and get one,
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: and we'll take it a step further. The Detroit Lions
- 1:19:53Speaker 1: are twelve and two and then primetime games under head
- 1:19:56Speaker 1: coach and Campbell.
- 1:19:58Speaker 5: And were they.
- 1:19:59Speaker 1: Playing on Sunday night at Kansas City in prime time
- 1:20:01Speaker 1: on NBC. My goodness, these numbers don't lie. I can't
- 1:20:05Speaker 1: make them up. I know where my research is. Twenty
- 1:20:08Speaker 1: two million, eight hundred and seventeen thousand did get you
- 1:20:11Speaker 1: a lot of numbers in the lottery. If that isn't
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: good enough, Dan Campbell is twelve and two, Mark gets
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: you a few more they's called a pre digit number
- 1:20:18Speaker 1: of people. Tommy, what's your take about the Lions in
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: prime time? They're definitely good watch, aren't they.
- 1:20:25Speaker 6: Well, Detroit has always been a great sports town, and
- 1:20:29Speaker 6: then Michiganers been migrating across the country for a half
- 1:20:34Speaker 6: century since the decline of the auto industry. So you
- 1:20:37Speaker 6: got Michigan, you got Michigan fans everywhere, Detroit fans everywhere.
- 1:20:42Speaker 6: The Lions have also been a captivating team with Dan Campbell,
- 1:20:47Speaker 6: and they've for ways and so they were.
- 1:20:54Speaker 7: Down for so long.
- 1:20:54Speaker 6: It's surprising from that standpoint, But if you know the
- 1:20:59Speaker 6: history of Detroit teams to attract national interest, it's not
- 1:21:04Speaker 6: surprising from that standpoint.
- 1:21:07Speaker 3: Katy, I'm gonna I'm gonna say, except for the NFC
- 1:21:15Speaker 3: North fans, I think a lot of other fans out
- 1:21:20Speaker 3: there know the rise of the Lions, that they have improved, improved,
- 1:21:25Speaker 3: and they've been an underdog for so long that I
- 1:21:28Speaker 3: think they have a lot of fan base out there
- 1:21:30Speaker 3: that they're gonna root for their team. But then they're
- 1:21:33Speaker 3: gonna root for the Lions because they want to see
- 1:21:34Speaker 3: them do well because they haven't had the history of
- 1:21:38Speaker 3: doing as well. Yes, these last couple of years they have. Now,
- 1:21:41Speaker 3: I will say I don't think that a lot of
- 1:21:44Speaker 3: the other NFC North teams are thinking that way, But
- 1:21:48Speaker 3: I think a lot of the other fans of a
- 1:21:50Speaker 3: lot of the other teams, Detroit might be their second
- 1:21:53Speaker 3: team that they're rooting for because they've been such an
- 1:21:56Speaker 3: underdog and they like they can relate to Dan Campbell
- 1:22:00Speaker 3: and how he's motivating his team and he's a likable coach,
- 1:22:04Speaker 3: and so I think that has a lot to do
- 1:22:06Speaker 3: with it as well.
- 1:22:08Speaker 8: All right, Uh, I was thinking the exact same thing.
- 1:22:12Speaker 8: I think. I think the casual football fan likes Dan Campbell.
- 1:22:15Speaker 8: I think they like that blue collar grit, you know, guy.
- 1:22:20Speaker 8: I think I think that that football, that old school
- 1:22:23Speaker 8: football coach. You know, he gives you a little Mike Dick.
- 1:22:26Speaker 8: He gives you a little bit of you know, the
- 1:22:28Speaker 8: eighties Chuck. He's just he's a he's a tough guy
- 1:22:32Speaker 8: and he's uh, he's simple, and he's successful. He's successful.
- 1:22:35Speaker 8: I think people like that, you know. It's it's so
- 1:22:38Speaker 8: much different from what you get, you know, uh, compared
- 1:22:41Speaker 8: to you know, the coach in Miami or from Belichick
- 1:22:44Speaker 8: or you know, it's a little bit of Mike Tomman.
- 1:22:47Speaker 8: I think I think there's a little bit of Mike
- 1:22:49Speaker 8: Tomlin and him. So in Detroit, listen, we we we
- 1:22:53Speaker 8: love on Underdog. We love a comeback story with that question.
- 1:22:57Speaker 8: In Detroit is somebody who you know back in the
- 1:22:59Speaker 8: fifties there they they had a team back in the fifties,
- 1:23:03Speaker 8: but they're they are the hot new thing and Detroit
- 1:23:08Speaker 8: is becoming a fan favorite.
- 1:23:09Speaker 5: I think Jacob, you have a good point on this.
- 1:23:14Speaker 9: Marvin. And here's the thing I've let me say this
- 1:23:19Speaker 9: about like I was saying with Detroit and I was
- 1:23:21Speaker 9: taking to this with Miami. It's called must see TV.
- 1:23:24Speaker 9: Detroit is must see TV, but every bit of Detroit
- 1:23:28Speaker 9: is a must see TV. You have a badass coach
- 1:23:31Speaker 9: with a huge arms, who looks who looks like he
- 1:23:36Speaker 9: looks like he's gonna beat up every referee gives him
- 1:23:38Speaker 9: the wrong to call, and then you've got this exciting
- 1:23:42Speaker 9: offense and this then pretty rugged defense and everything goes right.
- 1:23:46Speaker 9: And they are photogenic and their and their jerseys and
- 1:23:50Speaker 9: their uniforms are cool. Everything looks cool. It's bright on TV.
- 1:23:55Speaker 9: It looks nice, and in truth, the Miami Dolphins are
- 1:24:00Speaker 9: a Dan Campbell away as far as because it's South Beach.
- 1:24:04Speaker 9: They just got a shrimpy little They got a shrippy
- 1:24:06Speaker 9: little the Harvard guy or whatever and sweats doing their thing.
- 1:24:11Speaker 9: He's not very photogenic. He's tiny. You know, it's the
- 1:24:14Speaker 9: refereence could beat him up and put him in a closet.
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: Hey, Jacob, just let me tell you one thing. Once
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: upon a time, Dan Campbell was the interim coach on Dolphins.
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: Was five and seven wasn't good enough?
- 1:24:24Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly. But that's but that's the but that's the
- 1:24:28Speaker 9: thing I'm bringing. It's like they are the Dan Campbell
- 1:24:31Speaker 9: away like bringing. But the reason Detroit gets those they
- 1:24:34Speaker 9: must see TV bright. I mean they it's like, like you said,
- 1:24:38Speaker 9: everything about him looks good. They're fun to watch.
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: I'll say one thing. Turnover to George and Tommy gets
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: the Shanahan Report number one. Mike to Rico, you're in
- 1:24:49Speaker 1: for a treat because you didn't because you remember the
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: last time you did this matchup. Oh that they would
- 1:24:54Speaker 1: have had Travis Kelts, they would have won. Guess what
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: they have Travis Kelce. Mike to Rico, back air, let's
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: redo it again. So I have a feeling of line
- 1:25:03Speaker 1: we'll win. Yes, you're right, and number to name me
- 1:25:06Speaker 1: one coach in this league that has an Applebee's commercial
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: and does it as well as Dan Damble.
- 1:25:11Speaker 5: Nobody, people, nobody. But I'll tell you what.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: I salute to Tommy for hanging in there for those
- 1:25:18Speaker 1: extra few minutes, even though I said an hour. But
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: he's been a trooper. But we had to get the
- 1:25:21Speaker 1: football stuff in because he's not in time to pick.
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: And I appreciate you saying on a little bit longer, Timmy.
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: But now the Shanahan Report brought to you, boy, Tom,
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: go ahead.
- 1:25:30Speaker 6: Yeah, go to my website, Tom Shanahan and don report
- 1:25:34Speaker 6: and you can learn about my books. What I want
- 1:25:37Speaker 6: to mention before I signed off is I was scrolling
- 1:25:39Speaker 6: through Twitter today and Awful Announcing had a post about
- 1:25:45Speaker 6: how North Carolina and Hulu canceled their documentary series because
- 1:25:51Speaker 6: North Carolina is a dumpster fire. Of course, there's no
- 1:25:55Speaker 6: story to tell, but Awful Announcing put on the Twitter
- 1:26:00Speaker 6: the documentary sports documentaries are fluff stories, and I replied
- 1:26:06Speaker 6: to him, please off all announce and contact me.
- 1:26:10Speaker 7: Let me tell you about the.
- 1:26:11Speaker 6: Documentary we have development based on my second book, The
- 1:26:16Speaker 6: Right Thing to Do, the two pioneers of college football
- 1:26:19Speaker 6: integration in the nineteen sixties. There's nothing fluff about it.
- 1:26:23Speaker 6: It's about straightening out history and overcoming the media ignorance
- 1:26:31Speaker 6: that Bear Bryant led the way in college football integration.
- 1:26:35Speaker 6: Bar Bryant was a follower, not a leader. Everything. Almost
- 1:26:41Speaker 6: everyone in the South had black players before Alabama and
- 1:26:47Speaker 6: the nineteen seventy USC game.
- 1:26:50Speaker 7: It's complete fiction.
- 1:26:53Speaker 6: And so check out my website and if you want
- 1:26:57Speaker 6: to get on the ground floor of the documentary, all
- 1:27:00Speaker 6: the informations there.

- 1:28:12Speaker 1: Thank you, Tommy. All Right, so there are five of us.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: What's left. We're gonna talk a little bit of NBA
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: and that's that's okay. To sant Antonio's first hire.
- 1:28:23Speaker 4: You forgot you forgot me about the Lions.
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: Oh that's right. Well, we had to get time in there.
- 1:28:28Speaker 5: Go ahead.
- 1:28:29Speaker 4: Well, you know, what can we say the Lions fans
- 1:28:31Speaker 4: have suffered for so long. Those numbers are huge, huge following.
- 1:28:36Speaker 4: Uh as you mentioned Scott on the national telecast of
- 1:28:39Speaker 4: Sunday Night Football and Monday Night. They're going to be
- 1:28:42Speaker 4: on against Tampa in a couple of weeks. And you know,
- 1:28:46Speaker 4: all these prime time love, it's all prime time love.
- 1:28:49Speaker 4: But I agree with what's been said. You know, people
- 1:28:51Speaker 4: identifying with coach, they're identifying with the players. Uh, you
- 1:28:55Speaker 4: know Stafford and golf and that whole story, you know,
- 1:28:58Speaker 4: and and uh Saint Brown being way down in the
- 1:29:01Speaker 4: draft pecking order. There's great stories there, Hutchinson. So yeah,
- 1:29:05Speaker 4: it is. Somebody joked what a couple of weeks ago
- 1:29:08Speaker 4: and says, is a Hawaiians the New America's team. Well,
- 1:29:13Speaker 4: the numbers are showing that they might just be.
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: See, George got to double those of my town tonight.
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: I gave him a I threw him a bone with
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: the Tigers and he got the Lions.
- 1:29:23Speaker 5: That I go on. You'all feel pretty good. Keep up
- 1:29:26Speaker 5: the good research might throw you.
- 1:29:28Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you.
- 1:29:28Speaker 5: Now we're going to the NBA.
- 1:29:30Speaker 1: Then we have some a couple of bone or basketball
- 1:29:33Speaker 1: topics when I want to tell me to do what
- 1:29:35Speaker 1: he had to do, and we'll go to San Antonio's
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: first hired assistant, Mitch Johnson as a franchise head coach
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: outoger for interim coach Greg Popovich in November, obviously the
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: top of his successor. I still think Becky Hammond should
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: have gotten a job. That's just my opinion, and we've
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: talked about it before. Nevertheless, what they're able to do
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: is maintain continuity to with the line laid up I
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: Popovich and CEO R. C. Bufort, as well as GM
- 1:30:04Speaker 1: Bryant Wright who was hired in the same twenty sixteen season,
- 1:30:08Speaker 1: and Johnson.
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: Some thoughts about this.
- 1:30:10Speaker 8: Marvin, Listen, we've been talking about culture all night, Duke.
- 1:30:15Speaker 8: You know, being able to have continuity and being able
- 1:30:18Speaker 8: to have a real good exchange and how important that
- 1:30:21Speaker 8: is for culture. You know, I mentioned Green Bay quarterback situation.
- 1:30:24Speaker 8: They've had farvarand Rogers. You know, they got that position
- 1:30:28Speaker 8: right and it's crucial. You know, Steelers, Pittsburgh Steelers and
- 1:30:31Speaker 8: their coaches, you know, so the San Antonio Spurs are
- 1:30:34Speaker 8: an organization who have gotten it right for a long time.
- 1:30:38Speaker 8: I absolutely think this is the move. I don't listen.
- 1:30:41Speaker 8: I'm not a San Antonio fan. I don't even know
- 1:30:43Speaker 8: this coach, but I trust their culture. So this is
- 1:30:47Speaker 8: the right move and I look forward to seeing what
- 1:30:50Speaker 8: they do with Winmbin Yama.
- 1:30:53Speaker 9: Jacob, you said, who'd you say, miss Johnson? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 1:31:01Speaker 9: you know. The big thing is the big thing is
- 1:31:04Speaker 9: you got to remember something I wanted Becky Hammond also.
- 1:31:07Speaker 9: But the one thing that san Antonio knew all these years,
- 1:31:12Speaker 9: and as we're saying fan players and everything is consistency.
- 1:31:17Speaker 9: They had pop for so long. You don't want one
- 1:31:21Speaker 9: year and out. It absolutely, I mean I talked to
- 1:31:25Speaker 9: San Antonio fans at the time. It shocked San Antonio
- 1:31:28Speaker 9: fans that Tim Duncan was one game and out. As
- 1:31:31Speaker 9: far as coach, it shocked them because they thought he
- 1:31:34Speaker 9: would have a he would be the one that bypassed
- 1:31:37Speaker 9: even think that thought he had one. He had one game,
- 1:31:40Speaker 9: one win, and that's his career. So they're so used
- 1:31:43Speaker 9: to that consistency that you know, all that kind of stuff,
- 1:31:46Speaker 9: so you have to build it. The thing about Webbin
- 1:31:49Speaker 9: Yama that worries me, though, Marvin. The one thing that
- 1:31:52Speaker 9: worries me is that he doesn't have the regular usual
- 1:31:56Speaker 9: injuries that seven to five guy has. He's had he
- 1:31:59Speaker 9: had blood clots. Will those hold up? Will those hold up?
- 1:32:04Speaker 9: I mean get that. I mean we saw from an old,
- 1:32:07Speaker 9: much older man with dion He's had to have a
- 1:32:11Speaker 9: four hour surgery and it's like and he and may
- 1:32:13Speaker 9: mean this is a twenty one and twenty twenty one
- 1:32:16Speaker 9: year old that had to take three months off something
- 1:32:20Speaker 9: along those lines, something like those like last year because
- 1:32:23Speaker 9: of blood cuts. Those aren't easy. Will it hold off?
- 1:32:27Speaker 8: We're gonna find out. I don't know, but that is relevant, Jacob,
- 1:32:30Speaker 8: that is relevant.
- 1:32:32Speaker 3: Okay, Candy, I know we all, I mean, you guys
- 1:32:36Speaker 3: have talked about Becky Hammond getting the job. I'm not
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: sure the NBA is ready to have a female as
- 1:32:44Speaker 3: a head coach yet. I just don't. I just don't know.
- 1:32:49Speaker 3: Popovich brought him Johnson in for a reason. Heir apparent
- 1:32:54Speaker 3: coach him, mentor him. I hate that was their game plan.
- 1:33:00Speaker 3: Uh when will we see? Uh? Now, I will say this,
- 1:33:05Speaker 3: I think Becky Hammond was qualified to be a head
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: coach in the NBA. But again, I'm just not convinced
- 1:33:12Speaker 3: that the NBA is ready for that. I mean, let's
- 1:33:16Speaker 3: let's face it. Even Don Staley said talked about that
- 1:33:19Speaker 3: when she didn't get hired either.
- 1:33:23Speaker 9: So yeah, but Candy, let me say this, Don Stanley
- 1:33:27Speaker 9: is a phenomenal college coach. She is a phenomenal college coach.
- 1:33:32Speaker 9: I mean, Becky Hammond has not only has she done
- 1:33:36Speaker 9: done pro, she's done pro men and won them. Yeah,
- 1:33:40Speaker 9: it's like and it's like if they're I mean even
- 1:33:43Speaker 9: it was almost an insult to me to see them
- 1:33:47Speaker 9: in an interview Don Stale. It's not because of her
- 1:33:49Speaker 9: coaching ability, that's absolutely not. It's just the fact. It's
- 1:33:54Speaker 9: just the fact that it's like pros in college is
- 1:33:56Speaker 9: completely a different man, but a breed of animal, and
- 1:33:58Speaker 9: men and women are different animal. And they just put
- 1:34:02Speaker 9: that in And it's like, if you're not ready to
- 1:34:06Speaker 9: put Becky Hammon when somebody, when she has already won
- 1:34:10Speaker 9: even a minor title with men, then you're ready for
- 1:34:13Speaker 9: no one, You're ready. You're not ready for anybody to
- 1:34:17Speaker 9: do it. If you're not going to for a woman
- 1:34:19Speaker 9: for a that because she is the most qualified, she's
- 1:34:21Speaker 9: the only qualified one.
- 1:34:23Speaker 3: I agree.
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: I agree.
- 1:34:24Speaker 9: So that's just their thing. It's like it just shows
- 1:34:27Speaker 9: whatsoever why they put them. Here's the thing you put
- 1:34:30Speaker 9: Don Staley and this is the thing. You picked them wrong.
- 1:34:32Speaker 9: And I don't think Becky Hamm is wrong because she
- 1:34:34Speaker 9: has people that knew her and she could have done
- 1:34:36Speaker 9: that job. If you picked the wrong woman to do
- 1:34:39Speaker 9: this with this type of deal, remember kim ink situation.
- 1:34:43Speaker 9: We talked about this last week with Miami and literally
- 1:34:46Speaker 9: got to a playoffs and they tried to get her
- 1:34:48Speaker 9: help and then she's out and they've been horrible since
- 1:34:51Speaker 9: they did. They insulted her. And look if they put
- 1:34:55Speaker 9: if what if they put Don Staley and she bombed
- 1:34:57Speaker 9: with the Knicks, especially that close to the NBA finals.
- 1:35:01Speaker 9: I mean, you're not gonna see another woman for a
- 1:35:02Speaker 9: very long time. We're already not seeing it in the
- 1:35:05Speaker 9: in the major leagues. So this has to be the
- 1:35:08Speaker 9: right choice when you do it.
- 1:35:09Speaker 1: So, Mike, I'm partial for the Detroit Lions. Okay, all right,
- 1:35:13Speaker 1: So I'll we'll turn over the George last word and
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: have one more WNBA topic and when you get to well,
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll have time for fund It's fundit and
- 1:35:20Speaker 1: two non sports topics as well. There won't be that complicated.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: Dull George, what's your thoughts on this higher.
- 1:35:27Speaker 4: I think it's a good one. You know, similar to
- 1:35:30Speaker 4: what we talked about the beginning of the show with
- 1:35:32Speaker 4: Duke's Mike Shershsky. You know, the situation is in the
- 1:35:37Speaker 4: pros is obviously not the same as college. But you know,
- 1:35:40Speaker 4: Johnson was a former player, okay, number one, number two
- 1:35:43Speaker 4: when he was the G League coach, they won the
- 1:35:46Speaker 4: title and that was called the Austin Spurs, and then
- 1:35:50Speaker 4: they added him to the coaching staff I believe in
- 1:35:52Speaker 4: twenty nineteen there at San Antonio, and so he's had
- 1:35:56Speaker 4: time to work with George, and I really do think
- 1:35:59Speaker 4: that I'm sorry, Greg, excuse me, I'm George. I think
- 1:36:04Speaker 4: he said some time, he's gotten to know the players,
- 1:36:07Speaker 4: He's gotten to know a lot of the younger players,
- 1:36:09Speaker 4: being with the G League as he was, and so
- 1:36:12Speaker 4: I think, you know, yeah, he deserves an opportunity here,
- 1:36:15Speaker 4: and you know, Papa bitch, big huge shoes to fill.
- 1:36:20Speaker 4: I agree with what you guys said about him, and
- 1:36:22Speaker 4: I wish you would have got it too, But I
- 1:36:24Speaker 4: think Mitch Johnson deserves this and let's see, let's see
- 1:36:27Speaker 4: what he can.
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: Do, George, there was a there was a term on
- 1:36:32Speaker 1: that last so called punch drunk.
- 1:36:34Speaker 5: Maybe as you get later in this.
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: Thing, you get yeah, yeah, all right, well anyways, sorry, Jacob,
- 1:36:41Speaker 1: let me get to a w NBA topic.
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: You know it's good for you.
- 1:36:43Speaker 1: So I get punted in here shortly, okay, and that's
- 1:36:46Speaker 1: this front office George reporters. The w NBA brooke their
- 1:36:51Speaker 1: season season record. Actually they did it in August set
- 1:36:55Speaker 1: in two thousand and two a two point four million fans.
- 1:36:57Speaker 1: This number was still nearly a was a month ago.
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: Candy want to come up with the final number. Nevertheless,
- 1:37:03Speaker 1: they still broke it with a month ago in the year. Margaret,
- 1:37:06Speaker 1: does that tell you about the popular and the growth
- 1:37:07Speaker 1: in the league? I know they make the bargaining agreement
- 1:37:10Speaker 1: to work out, but and Harold, I don't know if
- 1:37:12Speaker 1: you heard me, but lions on parcel for them ahead, Marvin.
- 1:37:15Speaker 8: No, they need it. They need it because the numbers
- 1:37:17Speaker 8: were horrible and the w n b A wasn't really
- 1:37:20Speaker 8: getting the viewers and the attendance, uh that people thought,
- 1:37:24Speaker 8: you know. So the fact that they're a month out
- 1:37:27Speaker 8: and they're breaking records and they're doing this with Caitlyn
- 1:37:29Speaker 8: Kark on the bench. Uh, you know, because they put
- 1:37:32Speaker 8: a lot of that on her, and she is she's
- 1:37:34Speaker 8: a huge part of that, I think as a whole.
- 1:37:37Speaker 8: But you know that's significant. You know, these these players
- 1:37:40Speaker 8: want to be paid more. As you said, they're heading
- 1:37:42Speaker 8: into the the c b A and uh, there's there's
- 1:37:45Speaker 8: a lot of uh, there's a lot of state for
- 1:37:47Speaker 8: these for these for these young ladies. There really is.
- 1:37:49Speaker 8: So for them to get their numbers up and to
- 1:37:52Speaker 8: show that they're able to fill the stands or bring
- 1:37:55Speaker 8: people in. Uh, for them to be able to have
- 1:37:57Speaker 8: some kind of viewership. You know. I don't know what
- 1:37:59Speaker 8: they're merch is, but any positive, anything, any positivity in
- 1:38:04Speaker 8: regards to any of the metrics for them is good.
- 1:38:06Speaker 8: And right now, you know, it's looking like they'll have
- 1:38:09Speaker 8: some type of leverage in these agreements, I guess. So, yeah,
- 1:38:13Speaker 8: it's good. I'm happy to see it, you know, And
- 1:38:15Speaker 8: I'm looking forward to seeing Kaitlyn get healthy and play
- 1:38:17Speaker 8: again and looking forward to seeing Angel and in a
- 1:38:21Speaker 8: year from now.
- 1:38:22Speaker 5: Juju Watkins, great soft eld. Glad you got me. Okay,
- 1:38:26Speaker 5: that wasn't sure? All right? So yeah, Angel Reese another
- 1:38:29Speaker 5: fates of the w n B. All right, clear in mind,
- 1:38:33Speaker 5: Jacob pund pundit is on the line, just kidding.
- 1:38:36Speaker 9: Yeah, you're good, You're no. That's the big thing about
- 1:38:40Speaker 9: it is Kathy Engelberg just made the worst mistake in
- 1:38:43Speaker 9: the world. So, I mean, they've they've gotten these they've
- 1:38:46Speaker 9: gotten these numbers. Don't get this wrong. I mean, Caitlyn
- 1:38:49Speaker 9: did start up, but give them credit. They got these numbers,
- 1:38:52Speaker 9: you know what I mean, they got these numbers to
- 1:38:53Speaker 9: further the league. So they've got that OS leverage. But
- 1:38:58Speaker 9: when she they'll win. The Collier is a Collier. A Collier, Yeah,
- 1:39:05Speaker 9: the Pisa Collier basically was talking about I mean she
- 1:39:10Speaker 9: with the End of the Year. With the End of
- 1:39:12Speaker 9: the Year interview, Kathy Engelbert says that it's like, well,
- 1:39:17Speaker 9: the Kitlyn should be thankful that the w that gave
- 1:39:20Speaker 9: her the platform to make sixteen million dollars. And I'm like,
- 1:39:23Speaker 9: are you out of your mind? Yeah, it's like literally,
- 1:39:26Speaker 9: I mean it's just I mean, she started everything. What
- 1:39:29Speaker 9: we see on is the piece of Collier admits it,
- 1:39:31Speaker 9: basically admits it. She was not happy to hear that,
- 1:39:33Speaker 9: and it's like, I will gonna make a prediction. I
- 1:39:37Speaker 9: think kn'thy Engelbert has to go before there's even any
- 1:39:40Speaker 9: kind of deal. I think there's gonna be a lot.
- 1:39:41Speaker 9: I think it's gonna be gone. They're not gonna play,
- 1:39:43Speaker 9: they're not gonna they're not going to train, they're not
- 1:39:45Speaker 9: gonna do anything. They're gonna they will leave before she
- 1:39:48Speaker 9: gets back there. I think she's gonna have to go now.
- 1:39:51Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised that it happened soon. I've been
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: reading the tea leaves on that. All right, Candy, so
- 1:39:55Speaker 1: up paid here. Then we have Georgia and I have
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: a couple of non sports I want to get to.
- 1:39:58Speaker 5: They'll get one. Wanted to wrap up the show, like, Candy,
- 1:40:00Speaker 5: what are you at?
- 1:40:02Speaker 3: I'm looking at it because I've found two different figures.
- 1:40:07Speaker 3: So they were saying that they eclipsed three million. The
- 1:40:11Speaker 3: last time they outdrew back in two thousand and two
- 1:40:16Speaker 3: was the second highest, but they had six sixteen teams
- 1:40:20Speaker 3: then and they only have thirteen teams now. I can
- 1:40:25Speaker 3: say that a lot of it has to do with
- 1:40:28Speaker 3: all these name players that we're all we're hearing about now,
- 1:40:31Speaker 3: and yes we did we have the distractions, but I
- 1:40:35Speaker 3: think distractions also brought more attention to the WNBA.
- 1:40:40Speaker 8: You know, yes, the.
- 1:40:41Speaker 3: Caitlin Clark, Yes she was injured for part, but bringing
- 1:40:44Speaker 3: her in and bringing Angel reeson and some of these names,
- 1:40:48Speaker 3: and some of these names have good marketing teams because
- 1:40:52Speaker 3: they also have their own lines of whether it be
- 1:40:55Speaker 3: a shoe or whatever it is. But they're doing they're
- 1:41:02Speaker 3: doing it the right way. So kudos to them for
- 1:41:05Speaker 3: breaking their single season record.
- 1:41:07Speaker 4: Okay, George, Yeah, I mean, you know, I think they're
- 1:41:10Speaker 4: going about it the right way. I agree with what
- 1:41:12Speaker 4: you guys said. I mean, anytime you can get ABC
- 1:41:15Speaker 4: and ESPN and you know CBS is doing games and
- 1:41:20Speaker 4: other networks, I mean, I think it's a good thing.
- 1:41:23Speaker 4: And I think attendance is being driven by these stars
- 1:41:25Speaker 4: that you've already mentioned. So I mean, the television ratings
- 1:41:28Speaker 4: are going to be great. They instand attendance. I know
- 1:41:32Speaker 4: it's not comparable to the professions the professionals in the NBA,
- 1:41:40Speaker 4: but don't forget the w n b A has not
- 1:41:42Speaker 4: been around as long, but now they're finally getting more
- 1:41:45Speaker 4: notoriety because of these stars that are coming out of
- 1:41:48Speaker 4: college and and going right into the w n b
- 1:41:51Speaker 4: A and it's great, great, it's a great show, and
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: it's a great, great value for your price. If you
- 1:41:58Speaker 4: want to take your family to a wa NBA game,
- 1:42:01Speaker 4: I heck them a lot cheaper than going to the NBA.
- 1:42:04Speaker 5: How would you know, because you get press passes. Sick
- 1:42:06Speaker 5: to man, don't worry about it.
- 1:42:07Speaker 1: Oh, I know, all right, Tom, all right, while you're ahead, Icorn,
- 1:42:11Speaker 1: all right, but I agree with you. I corns right.
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: I'm just like I haven't given him a hard time
- 1:42:16Speaker 1: much lately because he's been good, So all right, it's okay,
- 1:42:18Speaker 1: all right, Well, don't don't forget Sophie Cunningham. She she
- 1:42:21Speaker 1: knows how to knock a few people around here to
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: protect Caitlin Clark, who I consider. Yeah, the league, and
- 1:42:26Speaker 1: of course we know payd Beckers is gone have a
- 1:42:29Speaker 1: future part of it.
- 1:42:29Speaker 5: But I'll go ahead, Marmur anything you want to add
- 1:42:31Speaker 5: to it.
- 1:42:33Speaker 8: Not all all good points, you know I spoke earlier.
- 1:42:37Speaker 8: It's a situation where it's great for the players. They
- 1:42:40Speaker 8: need as many fans and a reason to get paid
- 1:42:44Speaker 8: because this CBA is going to control the next decade
- 1:42:47Speaker 8: and you know they need a good deal.
- 1:42:49Speaker 1: So all right, non sports compic time here. We'll save
- 1:42:52Speaker 1: them to the end. A man who bought an airline
- 1:42:55Speaker 1: ticket lifetime passes saved two point three seven mill million
- 1:43:00Speaker 1: dollars and travel over twenty million miles. Not too bad,
- 1:43:03Speaker 1: Marvin good this. I'm telling you airline lifetime paths that
- 1:43:07Speaker 1: say two point three seven million dollars and travel twenty
- 1:43:09Speaker 1: million miles.
- 1:43:10Speaker 5: I can handle that. What about you, Mark Man?
- 1:43:12Speaker 8: That's a that's a serious deal. How much did he pay?
- 1:43:15Speaker 1: Let's see, he saved two point three seven million and
- 1:43:18Speaker 1: travel over twenty million. That's the most of my information.
- 1:43:20Speaker 1: But an airline pants, I don't have that information. But
- 1:43:23Speaker 1: no mo, she digs up everything. Anyways, all right, take it?
- 1:43:26Speaker 5: What do you think?
- 1:43:26Speaker 1: Not a bad way to travel? You can say two
- 1:43:28Speaker 1: point three seven million bucks.
- 1:43:30Speaker 9: I don't know what I mean. I understand, No, I
- 1:43:32Speaker 9: understand the whole thing. And then they threw a bit
- 1:43:35Speaker 9: and pull it away, and I'm like, that's your guy's fault.
- 1:43:38Speaker 9: Just take it, so let him do it till he dies.
- 1:43:42Speaker 9: It's like, oh, we're saving our money. No, you did this.
- 1:43:44Speaker 9: You gotta you need to eat it.
- 1:43:47Speaker 5: Anything can I'm working on a getting all.
- 1:43:50Speaker 1: Right, George go ahead while our crack. The researcher goes
- 1:43:53Speaker 1: in digs it up.
- 1:43:54Speaker 4: Oh, there's some big money. You had big travel dollars.
- 1:43:57Speaker 4: But no, I hey, I think it's doing the right thing.
- 1:44:01Speaker 4: You know. Those miles accumulate, you know, and stuff like that,
- 1:44:04Speaker 4: and the airlines. But you know, I don't travel much,
- 1:44:07Speaker 4: as you know, so I don't get to take advantage
- 1:44:09Speaker 4: of those. But this is a really crafty thing. I
- 1:44:13Speaker 4: think that's pretty pretty cool.
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: I like that guy good Candy.
- 1:44:18Speaker 3: So he's the world Okay. His name is Tom Stucker.
- 1:44:23Speaker 3: He's also known as the twenty four million mile Man.
- 1:44:28Speaker 3: Back in nineteen ninety, he bought a lifetime pass on
- 1:44:33Speaker 3: United Airlines for him and a companion for five hundred
- 1:44:37Speaker 3: and ten thousand dollars. The pass allows him to fly
- 1:44:41Speaker 3: first class anywhere anytime. He actually doesn't own a car
- 1:44:49Speaker 3: because he uses his points for the airlines to rent
- 1:44:54Speaker 3: cars instead. He's he let's see with recent travels, was
- 1:45:03Speaker 3: out of Newark Airport. Flyers can take some advice from
- 1:45:06Speaker 3: a man who has flown out of New Jersey facility
- 1:45:10Speaker 3: more than eight thousand times. Is the world's most frequent flyer,
- 1:45:17Speaker 3: owns a golden ticket.
- 1:45:20Speaker 1: Yeah, and the golden ticket people in the sports exchange safeties.
- 1:45:24Speaker 1: I love these non sports topics. So if you like
- 1:45:27Speaker 1: this one, I got another one in Candy. Ought to
- 1:45:29Speaker 1: know the person that we're dealing with here, because AI
- 1:45:32Speaker 1: is changing the world we live in work. JP Morgan
- 1:45:36Speaker 1: CEO believes it won't just be business.
- 1:45:41Speaker 5: Assume me.
- 1:45:42Speaker 1: It won't be business more. It'll make more. It won't
- 1:45:45Speaker 1: make business more efficient. It could also give people better
- 1:45:50Speaker 1: work life balance. The next generation of employees work three
- 1:45:53Speaker 1: and a half days a week to live one hundred
- 1:45:55Speaker 1: years old. Oh, three and a half days a week
- 1:45:57Speaker 1: isn't so bad one hundred years old.
- 1:45:59Speaker 5: No way getting there.
- 1:46:00Speaker 1: I told you, yes, I have a great caretaker. On
- 1:46:06Speaker 1: another thing, but all right, Jacob, you just talked about
- 1:46:09Speaker 1: it first. Here we're talking about a three and a
- 1:46:11Speaker 1: half day work week. The JP Morgan j CEO and
- 1:46:14Speaker 1: don't want to mention his name at all, but those
- 1:46:17Speaker 1: of you that want to research it.
- 1:46:19Speaker 5: Go ahead and do it. Three and a half day
- 1:46:20Speaker 5: work week? Can you handle it? Do you do it?
- 1:46:22Speaker 5: Of course?
- 1:46:23Speaker 9: It's like absolutely no. But the big thing about it
- 1:46:27Speaker 9: is for all of that that they're talking about, AI
- 1:46:30Speaker 9: is gonna take away so many other jobs too. So
- 1:46:33Speaker 9: one of the things that's gonna come with this now
- 1:46:36Speaker 9: is it's they're gonna see We're gonna see people. We're
- 1:46:39Speaker 9: gonna see people with the more competitive, the most competitive
- 1:46:43Speaker 9: mindsets get it to get these jobs now, because it's
- 1:46:46Speaker 9: gonna get more with I mean, there won't be any
- 1:46:49Speaker 9: more fast food job for kids, there won't be more
- 1:46:51Speaker 9: a lot of construction jobs will be gone. It will
- 1:46:53Speaker 9: be a lot of AI, Bobby Robotic, a lot of stuff.
- 1:46:57Speaker 9: So every job that people get getting out of college
- 1:47:00Speaker 9: now will be nothing but highly competitive. So that's I mean, yeah,
- 1:47:05Speaker 9: you're gonna get your three and a half days a week,
- 1:47:07Speaker 9: but you're also gonna get the best of the very best,
- 1:47:10Speaker 9: because it's it's gonna be not even just from college.
- 1:47:12Speaker 9: It's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of different
- 1:47:15Speaker 9: playing to try to get people's attention.
- 1:47:18Speaker 7: Man.
- 1:47:19Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think AI is going to impact
- 1:47:21Speaker 8: every aspect of our life. U three and a half
- 1:47:24Speaker 8: day work week, you know. So I think that's that
- 1:47:28Speaker 8: comes down to the individual. I think there's so many
- 1:47:31Speaker 8: side hustles and different opportunities to make money. I think
- 1:47:34Speaker 8: people are gonna be working, you know, five seven days anyway,
- 1:47:37Speaker 8: regardless of what you know, opportunities come from AI. I
- 1:47:40Speaker 8: think that the American hustle on American culture is what
- 1:47:44Speaker 8: it is. And I think people trying to get money.
- 1:47:46Speaker 8: So you know, I don't think people will be satisfied
- 1:47:50Speaker 8: with three and a half days when they've been trained
- 1:47:51Speaker 8: to work for five days. So you know. But but
- 1:47:55Speaker 8: you know, for for those for those who want to
- 1:47:57Speaker 8: play golf and chill, uh and they need more to
- 1:48:00Speaker 8: mental health, stay at home, whatever may be works well.
- 1:48:03Speaker 8: And maybe AI is going to help us in regards
- 1:48:05Speaker 8: to mental health by taking us out of the workplace
- 1:48:08Speaker 8: and gave against more free time.
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: We'll see the Earl kids, he said, you know, having
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: fun on this positive cast because MP three you are
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: the best or any casters is totally awesome. Sorry you
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: were old, So I have an MP three player.
- 1:48:20Speaker 5: Look us up.
- 1:48:20Speaker 1: We get out there, ask Earl Kizzie. He's the biggest
- 1:48:23Speaker 1: fan of the night, the fan of the night, Earl
- 1:48:25Speaker 1: Kisie for being on the program. All right, who I left?
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: Who wants to get a piece of this action?
- 1:48:30Speaker 5: Praise your hand? Go ahead, George.
- 1:48:35Speaker 4: Three and a half work days a week. Wow, that
- 1:48:37Speaker 4: sounds like a lot of fun. I don't think it's
- 1:48:40Speaker 4: gonna happen anytime soon. I know that these statistics say
- 1:48:43Speaker 4: it might. But there's a lot of people now that
- 1:48:46Speaker 4: are mad because they had to go back to the office.
- 1:48:49Speaker 4: They were after COVID as you know, they were all
- 1:48:51Speaker 4: working at home, a lot of them, and now they're
- 1:48:54Speaker 4: being called back to work. And there's a lot of
- 1:48:56Speaker 4: complaints about, uh, the bosses bringing them back. But come on,
- 1:48:59Speaker 4: you know, well, the thing is is that, yeah, the
- 1:49:03Speaker 4: whole world is going through a different kind of work routine,
- 1:49:06Speaker 4: if you will, and stay at home is increasing. But
- 1:49:10Speaker 4: to be able to just work three and a half days,
- 1:49:14Speaker 4: I don't think it's going to be a universally accepted
- 1:49:17Speaker 4: I'm just gonna leave it at that.
- 1:49:19Speaker 5: All right, And he thought, Candy, you want to leave alone?
- 1:49:22Speaker 3: No, I'll I have thoughts. There are other countries that
- 1:49:25Speaker 3: are already doing it. There are other countries that are
- 1:49:28Speaker 3: doing it and it's successful. Now. Is AI going to
- 1:49:31Speaker 3: change things around here? Absolutely? But I've been in the
- 1:49:36Speaker 3: same industry for over thirty thirty three years now. My
- 1:49:41Speaker 3: industry has changed, Scott, your industry has changed. You wrote
- 1:49:44Speaker 3: a book about how your industry has changed, and that
- 1:49:47Speaker 3: doesn't have to do with AI. So yes, things are
- 1:49:50Speaker 3: going to change. That's just the nature of us and
- 1:49:54Speaker 3: technology progressing.
- 1:49:55Speaker 5: Now.
- 1:49:55Speaker 3: The one thing I will say, as long as you
- 1:50:00Speaker 3: I mean, we know about it now. So you start
- 1:50:03Speaker 3: to prepare you you know, as as kids in school,
- 1:50:07Speaker 3: as long as they start to prepare for jobs that
- 1:50:11Speaker 3: they want to have that they think are gonna be like,
- 1:50:14Speaker 3: there's gonna be jobs out there. They're just different. They're changing.
- 1:50:20Speaker 1: Jacob, you already commented on this. Yeah, first one, good,
- 1:50:24Speaker 1: you get go ahead, Jacob Marvin. You're gonna partly be
- 1:50:27Speaker 1: a part of this, least the first part. Okay, I'm
- 1:50:29Speaker 1: gonna ask you this. How long did you play in
- 1:50:31Speaker 1: the NFL?
- 1:50:32Speaker 8: Three years?
- 1:50:33Speaker 9: Okay, did any time whatsoever at any time did you
- 1:50:38Speaker 9: see anybody on your offensive side dropped the ball before
- 1:50:42Speaker 9: the end zone?
- 1:50:45Speaker 8: No? I thought, So.
- 1:50:47Speaker 9: That's my This is so recent. This is going to Amari.
- 1:50:51Speaker 9: This is going to be Amri, Dave Occato and ed
- 1:50:54Speaker 9: Ni Mitchell and all the rest of the morons that
- 1:50:56Speaker 9: keep doing this.
- 1:50:57Speaker 5: They.
- 1:50:58Speaker 9: I mean, I was so mad when I heard you
- 1:51:00Speaker 9: out and game and had to pay a fine and
- 1:51:02Speaker 9: do the apology, which he got a fine anyway for
- 1:51:05Speaker 9: that ridiculous, But go when he was actually doing a
- 1:51:08Speaker 9: little bit that he was doing a little bit of coaching. Okay,
- 1:51:10Speaker 9: Kenny slack, one who cares. Derek Collie should have been out,
- 1:51:14Speaker 9: He should have been lucky. They were at home so
- 1:51:16Speaker 9: they could drive home. So should and Mitchell and Mitchell
- 1:51:20Speaker 9: should have walked home he was on the road. What
- 1:51:25Speaker 9: is going on with people? Over and over and all?
- 1:51:30Speaker 9: I mean, all of these players dropping the ball. They're
- 1:51:35Speaker 9: dropping the ball at the goal line. Why huh?
- 1:51:41Speaker 8: They're getting ready for the celebration dance.
- 1:51:44Speaker 9: I school and college does this crap too? And heck
- 1:51:48Speaker 9: I've seen him when they're two yards before the end
- 1:51:50Speaker 9: zone doing this crap. The big thing is I'm gonna
- 1:51:55Speaker 9: I'm mad that John Deangin got I'm mad that he
- 1:51:58Speaker 9: got fined. I'm mad that that he had they had
- 1:52:01Speaker 9: the forced apology like he was like he was a hostage,
- 1:52:04Speaker 9: kind of like Jalen Rose. I'm kind of mad at
- 1:52:07Speaker 9: that part. But at the same time, where's your leadership
- 1:52:11Speaker 9: at all? Because it happens each and every one of
- 1:52:16Speaker 9: these happens to each every time. I can say this
- 1:52:18Speaker 9: part there are specific coaches we know in this league
- 1:52:21Speaker 9: that that's never gonna happen. They know they're gone. I
- 1:52:27Speaker 9: don't ever, I don't have one memory of happening with
- 1:52:30Speaker 9: Andy Reid team. If I if I, if I'm wrong,
- 1:52:34Speaker 9: if I'm wrong, you can get that. But it's like
- 1:52:36Speaker 9: you can you can tell me, but I don't have
- 1:52:38Speaker 9: any memory of this. I don't have. There's many coaches
- 1:52:42Speaker 9: I can name it, and I can tell you the
- 1:52:43Speaker 9: old coaches that definitely wouldn't have happened.
- 1:52:47Speaker 8: Well, I think it did happen. Wasn't DeShawn Jackson on
- 1:52:50Speaker 8: Andy uh on Andy's team in Philly when he ran
- 1:52:54Speaker 8: that pump?
- 1:52:54Speaker 9: He was the first one, wasn't he? I think so
- 1:52:58Speaker 9: he was the first first. Then I'll tell you one thing.
- 1:53:01Speaker 9: If that was the case, it was the last time. Yeah,
- 1:53:04Speaker 9: I haven't seen anybody in case doing They're winning super
- 1:53:06Speaker 9: Bowls right this and these this is where I'm this
- 1:53:11Speaker 9: is where we're at here. It's like, are we are
- 1:53:15Speaker 9: how many of the players, let's get a percentage, how
- 1:53:17Speaker 9: many of the players are actually caring about going to
- 1:53:19Speaker 9: the Super Bowl? Because I was here, one of the
- 1:53:22Speaker 9: things I heard was that I was hearing about how
- 1:53:25Speaker 9: contracts work in the NFL. I heard it from Julian Edelman.
- 1:53:28Speaker 9: He was talking about how they he'll talk about did
- 1:53:31Speaker 9: you ever buy way in your three years? Did you
- 1:53:33Speaker 9: make the playoffs?
- 1:53:34Speaker 8: Never?
- 1:53:35Speaker 9: Okay, he said, during the playoff time, you're if you're
- 1:53:38Speaker 9: in a buy. If you're in a buy, you're not
- 1:53:40Speaker 9: getting You're doing all the same work and not getting
- 1:53:42Speaker 9: paid at all. And that was during the contracts. And
- 1:53:46Speaker 9: these are the things like it makes me wonder how
- 1:53:49Speaker 9: many of these people actually they are they just trying
- 1:53:51Speaker 9: to get out there and trying to show them get on, TikTok,
- 1:53:54Speaker 9: get on. They are they trying to do all stuff
- 1:53:56Speaker 9: and make the most money or do they care about winning?
- 1:54:01Speaker 8: And they all go ahead, No, no, well they all
- 1:54:03Speaker 8: they all want to win, man, they all want to win.
- 1:54:06Speaker 8: We we live in a digital age. We live in
- 1:54:07Speaker 8: an age where these guys can make more money in
- 1:54:09Speaker 8: different ways. And that's what you're seeing. You're seeing, you're
- 1:54:12Speaker 8: seeing the evolved businessman from the from the athletes and
- 1:54:17Speaker 8: just wanting to without saying earlier, you know, get other hustles.
- 1:54:19Speaker 8: We were talking about a three and a half day
- 1:54:21Speaker 8: work week and I was like, Nah, people who want
- 1:54:23Speaker 8: to get money are going to find ways to get money.
- 1:54:25Speaker 8: You know, they want to work more than that. So
- 1:54:27Speaker 8: that's all we're seeing is this. You know how business
- 1:54:29Speaker 8: has evolved, uh with technology, and you know, social media
- 1:54:33Speaker 8: has impacted every single industry. And these NFL players are
- 1:54:38Speaker 8: you know, some of the biggest stars in the world.
- 1:54:39Speaker 8: They're on the biggest stage. We're talking about, you know,
- 1:54:41Speaker 8: twenty two million people watching a single football game. So
- 1:54:46Speaker 8: they're a big deal, and they see their opportunities and
- 1:54:50Speaker 8: these are the times that we're in.
- 1:54:53Speaker 9: The third string. I'm just saying, it's a third string
- 1:54:55Speaker 9: running back, in third string running back in a second string,
- 1:54:57Speaker 9: the wide receiver, we're doing the same darn thing.
- 1:55:00Speaker 5: We're running out of time.
- 1:55:02Speaker 9: Man, got finished this quick. This is the thing that
- 1:55:04Speaker 9: I was bringing with this. It's the fact that at
- 1:55:07Speaker 9: some point and time, it has to be about winning
- 1:55:10Speaker 9: if you want to get somewhere. I know what you
- 1:55:12Speaker 9: were saying, Marvin, but it has to be about winning.
- 1:55:14Speaker 9: And some of these coaches, some of these front offices
- 1:55:17Speaker 9: have got to figure out and let them go fast
- 1:55:19Speaker 9: and then quit this bad habit.
- 1:55:22Speaker 1: Okay, Candy quick station break everybody to anywhere what they
- 1:55:26Speaker 1: want to say.
- 1:55:27Speaker 5: Go ahead, Candy Self.
