• 1:10
  Speaker 3: to a sad reality for one of my absolute favorite teams,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and how it shows that there will soon be a
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: sad reality for.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Another proud franchise.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: We'll do that here in just a couple of seconds,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: we were broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You are more than welcome to chime in here eight
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: seven seven ninety nine on Fox Love being interactive. You
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: can hit me up, tweet me at the no show.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I've seen some people hit me up and wish me
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: nice things. Feeling a lot better. Had a stroke on
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: May fifth, so what about twenty five days ago? But
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: feeling good, feeling better each day doesn't seem to be
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: any long term effects. So feeling less lightheaded and appreciate
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: blind Scott. He said, I was thinking about reaching out
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: to you. Anybody, if you're ever thinking about reaching out
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to me, don't hesitate reach out dm me. If you
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: somehow find a way to get in contact with me,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I will not give you the cold shoulder. I really
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: appreciate all of those things. So yeah, no problem with that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Feel free to do that at any time. So the
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: news here is at my Miami Dolphins. Yes, I grew
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: up in South Bend, Indiana somehow someway. Ever since I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: can remember, I've been a diehard Miami Dolphins fan. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: don't know why it doesn't make geographical sense, but that
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: was the team I latched onto.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Don't know, it's just it's in my football blood over here.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: But the Dolphins are shopping tight end John new Smith.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: They're possibly looking to trade him. So this is the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: tweet from Adam Schefter. He just wrote, the Dolphins have
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: had trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers about their lone
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: Pro Bowl selection last season, tight end John new Smith.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Per league sources, those talks came after Smith asked an
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: interest in reworking his deal that is scheduled to pay
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: him four point eight million dollars this season. With Smith
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: sinking a new contract, Miami has sought a trade partner.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Smith's preference, per sources, is to stay in Miami under
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: a reworked deal. Okay, so lot's the unpack here. First off,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: John new Smith, let's start with this. He was unbelievable
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: last season. The numbers he put up, He's up there
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: with the top tight ends in football. This guy had
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: eighty eight catches for eight hundred and eighty four yards
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and eight touchdowns. Eight was the magical number right there
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: for John new Smith. But those are numbers. Almost ninety
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: catches for nearly nine hundred yards and eight touchdown grabs
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: for a tight end. Those are top tight end numbers.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: There aren't many tight ends doing more than that. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: now the Dolphins are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, you want
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: more money, Like we're on the hook for eight point
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: for four point eight million dollars. Here's the reality. That's
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: what it boils down to. When you are overpaying a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: quarterback like Tua Tongue of II Looa, You're gonna have
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: to cut corners. And this is the sad reality for
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the Dolphins. It's a sad reality for any team that
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: is overpaying a quarterback to this degree. And listen, I
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: like Tua, I like him, I want to love him,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: but I just like him because he's banged up far
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: too often and he's not producing to the same level
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: that he's getting paid. And when that happens, then you
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: just have these fire sales. You can't have a roster
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: that is good enough to get you anywhere. Because Tua
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: he's a good quarterback, he's not a difference making quarterback.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: He's not a quarterback where you can skimp around him.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: You might not have a top tight end, you might
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: not have a top offensive line, you might not have
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a top two one to two wide receiver punch. You
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, you gotta cut corners because you're
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: paying him so much. He's not a guy that's gonna
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: compensate for those roster deficiencies. He's just not there. He's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: not producing at that level. And that's where it goes.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: And that's what the San Francisco forty nine ers are
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: going to find out in the not too distant future
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: as well. Because here's the deal, Brock Purdy is a
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: good quarterback. I'm never gonna sit here and tell you
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that he's just a guy. He is not even average.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: He's a bum like, none of those things are true.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: He's a good NFL quarterback, but he, in my opinion,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: is not a difference making quarterback. He's not a special quarterback.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: He's not a quarterback that when you're paying him the
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: huge money and have to skim at many other positions
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: on the roster, that he's going to be able to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: compensate for those deficiencies. He's going to be so solid
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and so productive that if you can't afford the top
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: left tackle, or you can't have Deebo Samuel, or you
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: lose eight players that are starters via free agency, like
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the Niners just did. He's gonna be the guy that's
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: still gonna take you to the Promised Land. Spoiler alert,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: he's not. He's a good quarterback, he's not a special quarterback.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: And we saw a little bit of that last season.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: The Niners suffered a lot of injuries.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: He didn't have.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, and he didn't have Brandon Ayyuk, and he
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: didn't have he didn't have and then when you had
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: a healthy Brock party, you had brock Purty putting up
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: pretty ordinary numbers. And that is a glimpse of the future. Baby,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: That's the way it's gonna end up. And it's nothing personal.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: I have no reason to dislike brock Purty. That's just
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: the truth. It's just the truth. He's a good quarterback,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: he's not a special quarterback. But when you're paying him
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: special money, you eventually will be screwed as a franchise.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: It happens every single time my Dolphins are screwed. The
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Niners are gonna be screwed. Maybe not this season because
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: they have a cake schedule. Their schedule is very favorable,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: the easiest schedule in the NFL. Based on last season's
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: winning percentages that are gonna change, but maybe not dramatically.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So they have a very, very favorable schedule.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: But the thing is, when you're paying brock Purty the
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: way they are, Like, does this sentence sound good when
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you say it out loud?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: If you're a Niners fan, does this sound good?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: Brock Purty is the highest paid player in forty nine
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Ers history.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That sound right to you?
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Like you could talk yourself into it and say, well,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: you know, it's a quarterback. The way the market is,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: he's the next guy up. Yeah, it makes sense.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: Jerry Rice, different era, Joe Montana.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It just it doesn't sound right to me that Brock
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Purty is the highest paid player in forty nine Ers history.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: And a couple other things don't sound right either. One
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty one million dollars guarantee over five years.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Oof, that's like I'm trying to scratch.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: The ear wax out of my ears, thinking there's a mistake, Like, e,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: do I have one hundred and eighty one million dollars guaranteed?
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: There are a few things that don't sound right. Purty
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: fifty three million dollars average per year. It transforms him
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: from the league's biggest value to its seventh highest paid player.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: He now averages more money than Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: who's a two time MVP. That doesn't sound right either.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: There's a lot there. Geno Smith threw more touchdown passes
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: than Brock Perty last season.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Look at their contracts.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Geno Smith signed a two year extension with the Raiders
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: for sixty six point five million dollars. Rock Purty five
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: year extension one hundred and eighty one million dollars.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Like, what WHOA? That is major money.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Tua threw nineteen touchdown passes last season in eleven games.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Perty threw twenty. He threw one more touchdown pass than Tua,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: playing many more games than Tua did. That's just not
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: good enough production. Sorry, Sam Donald, Let's bring up Sam
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Donald for a second. Sam Donald had a great season
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: all things considered. He put up numbers, fizzled down the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: stretch when it mattered most, but throughout the season he
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: put up numbers. With the loaded Vikings team around him.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: He wasn't paid big money and so he had a
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: great supporting cast, and he threw thirty five touchdown passes
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: and twelve picks. Those are great numbers. He signed a
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: three year deal with Seattle for fifty five million dollars guaranteed. Again,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Brock Purdy one hundred and eighty one million dollars guaranteed.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: That's three times the amount more than that than Sam Darnald.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: And you could sit here and be like, oh, Sam Darling.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Okay again.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Sam darl put up big numbers with a great supporting
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: cast last season. I'm out on him in Seattle. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: don't think he's gonna gonna do very well. He doesn't
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: handle pressure very well. You know, we're talking like a
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: pass rush. Seattle's offensive line a little leaky. I don't
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: like that combination. Quarterback struggles under pressure and Seattle's oh
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: line leaves a lot to be desired. That is not
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: a good combination right there. He's got banged up Cooper
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Cup and mvs Mark wez Valdez scantling to throw to.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I like Jackson Smith and Jigbub, but it can't just
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: be the JSN Show with Sam Darnold behind a leaky
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: offensive line and you're expecting to go somewhere significant.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I just don't see it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: But again, he put up big numbers, better than Perty's
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: best year and he got a three year deal for
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: fifty five million dollars guaranteed. Meanwhile, Perty gets a five
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: year extension for one eighty one guaranteed. That is huge money.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: And to put it in perspective over here, this is
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: what the the salary cap space is going to look
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: like for the Niners over the next couple of seasons.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: So this is according to David Lombardi's twenty twenty five
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: projection and an assumption that the cap rises to three
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: hundred million dollars in twenty twenty six.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there's some qualifiers over here.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: But gauging it, so last season, brock Purty counted against
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the Niners cap point four percent.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: That's right.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: It was getting fade so little compared to other NFL
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: starting quarterbacks. It was just a point four percent salary
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: cap hit. It'll rise this year to three percent, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: then in twenty twenty six it rises to twelve percent.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: That's an estimated thirty six million dollar cap hit. So
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: that's a twenty nine hundred percent increase for the forty
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: nine ers, going from the biggest bargain in football, arguably sports,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: with brock Purty on his rookie deal as the last
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: pick of the draft to the seventh highest paid player
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: in the NFL. That is, it's huge money. You can't
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: underestimate that. And I don't understand why these teams don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: try to do what the Chiefs did. The Chiefs had
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Alex Smith, who you could say Alex Smith. He was
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: a competent starting quarterback. He led the league in passer
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: rating the year that Mahomes was a rookie. And then
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: they transitioned to Patrick Mahomes as the starting quarterback. But
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the Chiefs looked at it and said, yeah, we're good enough.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: We were in the playoffs. We can challenge to be
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. Hey, maybe if this planets aligned, we
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: can make a deep run in the playoffs and we
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: can be in contention to win a super Bowl. They
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: could allied to themselves, but they were honest. They were
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: brutally honest and said, hey, we're good. We want to
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: be special, we want to be great, and in order
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to do that, we have to take a big risk
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: and we have to trade up from twenty seventh to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: tenth and draft this guy, Patrick Mahomes. They turned out
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: to hit a Grand Slam. You're not gonna find another
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. But the point is, why don't more teams
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: try to be special like that?
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Why do they get so consumed.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: With fear where they're like, we have a competent starting quarterback,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: we can't rely on the draft again, and they have
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: nightmares and flashbacks to Trey Lance, like we tried that
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: already and Trey Lance was freaking terrible. Ah, let's just
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: pay party, and they just freak out and the fear
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: consumes them. Why won't they just be honest and say,
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: Black Purty is good, he's not special, and we're gonna
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: pay him as if he's special. And if we do that,
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: we're screwed over the next five years. Maybe not this
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: next year with the cake schedule, but in time he's
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: not gonna be good enough to compensate for a roster
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: that we have to skimp on. That's the reality. But
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: time and time again, teams will do it. The Dolphins, Hey,
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: Tua is a legit him at starter. He's not special,
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: but we're gonna pay him special money. Well, guess what
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: you're screwed. John news Smith is like I want more
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: money and they're like, oh, we got to trade him too.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: It's a blue light special going on here with my Dolphins.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: They're like, we gotta get rid of Jalen Ramsey and
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: John neu Smith wants more money. What jeez, what are
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: we doing over here? Five million bucks? We got to
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: get him out. It's crazy. But Bucky Brooks says this
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: all the time here on Fox Sports Radio, also on
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: NFL Network Draft Guru, He'll say, is the player a
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: truck or a trailer?
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I love this description.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: You're either a truck and you're pulling things behind you,
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: like in this case you're a quarterback pulling the roster
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: behind you, or you're a trailer and you're being pulled.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Brock Purdy is a trailer. He is not a truck.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: He is being pulled by the great talent he has
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: enjoyed around him.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: He is not.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Pulling a deficient r anywhere notable.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: And you can be the biggest party fanboy, the most
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: diehard forty nine ers fan, and you could be raging
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: against everything I'm saying, and that's fine, go ahead. But
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: you saw it last year. You saw the future last year.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: When players are banged up, picture the players that are
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: banged up going forward. Those are the players that the
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: Niners just can't afford because they've gone all in with
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Perdy's contract. It works out to the same thing. When
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: Perty doesn't have great talent around him, his numbers are
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: gonna be mediocre. He threw twenty touchdown passes in twelve
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: picks last year. Those are mediocre numbers. That's nowhere near
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty one million dollars guaranteed.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: It's just a bad deal. It's not smart.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: It is just talking yourself into something and being hopeful
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: beyond reason. You're being hopeful beyond a reasonable outcome, which
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: is why we got to the Super Bowl before we
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: were a couple of plays away. Why were you a
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: couple of plays away? Oh, that's right, because Purdy isn't special.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: When he's got a receiver opened in the back of
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the end zone, he can't hit him because Chris Jones
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: is putting some heat on him and he can't make
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: the special play. He didn't make the special play like
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: Gino Smith is throwing more touchdown passes than him when
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the supporting cast wasn't great last year due to injury.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: What do you think is gonna happen going forward? What
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: do you think is gonna happen, and especially with the Niners.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: They have Kyle Shanahan, they have a system. You know
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: what the Niners should do. I'll tell you around the
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: corner what the Niners should have done, because we're up
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: against it and I've been blabbing long enough.
• 16:46

• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Huh? Which you got all the answers know what should
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: they have done?
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I think they should have done
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: around the corner because I think this will lead to
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: a better outcome than overpaying brock Perty over the next
• 17:05

• 17:53
  Speaker 2: It's been a little while.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Last time I was in for Big Ben Malor, I
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: believe was in December.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I do this every time.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I just look at my notes, like, what was what
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: were we talking about in mid December? And some of
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: it was Coop was upset about his Broncos. They had
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: just lost to the Chargers on a primetime game, and
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: he was whining about no past interference being called on
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: a play. And I just got some enjoyment. I just
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: thumbing through that. Like you could tell he was in
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: an upset mood. It was Coop. I put my Coop
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: doesn't care about the college football playoff. Coop's just like
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: my Broncos got screwed. I don't care about college football.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Ah Ah. It was just like that.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: So that was funny trip down memory lane right there.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: But I'll get back to the Niners. But let's get
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: to the militia first. Let's get to Victor in La
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: wants to check in here. Vic, You're on Fox Sports Radio.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: What's going on, man, how you're doing? You know I
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: called that first about the NBA, but then you started
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: talking about a football team. But I digress. I'll leave
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: that alone, but I just want to remind you of something.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: While you're very happy about, you know, all the future parody,
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: let me quote to you the last time we had
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: this type of parody. That was the seventies. You know,
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: you had a whole bunch of semi stars that came out,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: But if you go and look through our whole list
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: of those seventies championships, only Kareem Is, you know, like
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: a main thaying you have. Jerry West had to wait
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: for the selfis to retire for three years. The NBA
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: almost folded in those years if it wasn't for Magic
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: and Larry coming in in seventy nine eighty. So as
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: much as that, you know, every city gets a piece
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: of the pie theory, there is no big piece because
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: no one gives the damn about the whole theory because
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: there's no real juggernaut and that's because there's nobody really
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: really making everybody seem like they're deficient in the sport.
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: You need somebody that's so good at it that they're
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: like damn, that has to raise the bar for everybody else.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Even though Sga is okay, g Joker is joke. Everybody
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: it's like this, It's like if Jokers joker, he should
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: just take control of this thing, you know what I mean.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: Like we as much as we hate to to cheer
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: on the same team over and over again, it still
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: gives us a lit to let us know what what what?
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: What is the best of the best, the best that
• 20:14
  Speaker 5: you can't beat, the best if everybody can come and
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: win it, everybody going to the park and seeing who's hey,
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: you got your five? I got my five, because you
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: got to think the Lenny Wilkons, Superstonics, I mean, Bill
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: walk he's relevant. I mean, but look at all those teams,
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: the nixt the Knicks got the only two championships in
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: the seventies. Jerry Webb got is only one he had
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: to do fan So it's just I don't know if
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: it's healthy. That's all I can say. And when it
• 20:37
  Speaker 5: comes to the forty nine ers, yeah, yeah, go for it.
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: When it comes to forty nine ers and Brock, I mean,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: look how uncompetent these quarterbacks are. I mean, so the
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: money part we can't hackle about is the marketplace. I mean,
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: I swear I would love to have a certified trust
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: and Brock. But I don't know if Brock sucks or
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: if he's good yet, because that year was a really
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: bad year for our whole roster. But as far as
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: what I've seen with him having in his hands, he's
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: done a good job and you got least give him
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: credit for that, and he's earned his money. You have
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: a whole bunch of quarterbacks they have not got as
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: far as he has in multiple seasons. And I'll leave
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: it at that, sir.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Well, Hey, Vick, I appreciate you checking in, man. Like,
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: the first thing is, look for the NBA. There's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: big difference between what I think is the most interesting
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: as a fan and maybe as like a sports radio
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: host too, and what's best for the league's ratings.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: Those are two very very different things.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: So what I think is the most interesting for me personally, Like,
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: that's just a personal take. I would personally much rather
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: have seven different champions over seven years. It's the first
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: time in NBA history this is going to be a
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: thing with either the Thunder, the Knicks or the Pacers.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: You know, spoiler alert, it's gonna be the Thunder. Like
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: the Knicks are not beating them. I don't see the
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: Pacers beating them either. Pacers pace and their depth, they
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: have a better chance. But Okac's defense is just it's
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: too good. Pacers don't defend like that. So it's gonna
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: be okay see, I'd be shocked if it's not. It
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: would take a you know, like a KD Game five
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: type injury when he was with the Warriors for okay see.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Not to win a championship against the Pacers or Knicks,
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I believe. But anyway, how it shakes out seven new
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: champions over the last seven years, first time in NBA
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: history that's ever happened.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: That's more compelling to me.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: Then Hey, the Warriors are trying to win their fourth
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: championship in five years. I'm just like, okay, cool, you
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: added KD to a seventy three win team. That's not
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: compelling to me. That's not interesting, that's not exciting. That's
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: just my personal feeling on it now. If you want
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: to throw ratings into it and like the viabil of
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: the NBA, and yeah, that can change the math for sure.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: But I still think that this idea of oh no, no,
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: you want dominance. The thing that made the nineties so
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: great is that you had the dominant Bulls teams mixed
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: with parody, is what I would argue, because if you
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: look at those playoffs when the Bulls got to the finals,
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: most of those are at least competitive series.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: They didn't get to a seventh game any of them.
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: But if you look at those series, the two against
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: the Jazz in ninety seven and ninety eight, those are
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: really competitive series. You had the Steve Kirk game winner
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: in game six, close game to close it out. In
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: ninety seven, you had the flu game like the game
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: prior with MJ on the road, like, those are really
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: compelling competitive series. Ninety eight you had the game winning
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: shot by Jordan on the road, right, So those are
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: close games. You think about Packson against Barkley's Sons in
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: ninety three hitting that three point shot in game six,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: it's a close competitive series. The Sonics had that Jordan
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: and both had a three lead, and you know the
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: Sonics won a couple of games and made it competitive.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: But I just think that when you could have that's
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: the best mixture probably is dominance mixed with parody, because
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: you don't want.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Just sheer dominance.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: You don't want the nineties Bowls if you're the NBA
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: to be winning each of those series in a sweep
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: or a gentleman's sweep and it's not even close to
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: a competitive series. That's not what you want as the NBA.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: And I also think man like, yeah, there's something to
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: be said about dynasties and trying to dethrone the champs
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: for a number of years.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: That can be compelling.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that dynasty
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: these are automatically not compelling whatsoever, because that's not true.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: But more times than not, if you could give me
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: a choice, I'll put it this way. The NFL is
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: the biggest league in this country by far, not even close.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And what is the thing that drives the NFL's success
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: more than anything.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Parody? It's parody.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Would it be better for the NFL if the Chiefs
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: won a third straight Super Bowl or if the Eagles
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: knock them off?
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: It's the Eagles winning it.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: It's better that it's better to spread the wealth. The
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: ratings are off the charts. You're telling me that you
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: have to have the Chiefs going for a third or
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: fourth straight Super Bowl to have ratings. No, you're gonna
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: have ratings regardless, And when you have different faces, different champions,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: more hope that your team can have a Jayden Daniels
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Washington commander's type rise. You can be plus eight and
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: wins from one year to the next and go from
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: last place to your conference championship game. Like that's compelling,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: that's real hope. That's reason to buy in. That drives
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: the NFL's success. So if dominance doesn't work for the
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: NFL and parody works for the NFL, why would it
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: be dramatically different for the NBA.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: I don't understand why it would.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Now, it's not apples to apples the leagues, right, you
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: could you could play the same game with the NHL.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: The NHL's ratings are not close to the NFL's ratings,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: so you can't say, well, if this is good for
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: the NFL, why wouldn't this be good for the NHL.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Well, because there are a different dynamics.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: I could understand if there's a Goliath in the Stanley
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Cup Final that's going for a third straight championship, and
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: now you have this team they're trying to dethrone them.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: If you're a complete casual fan, maybe that storyline is
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: interesting enough for you to watch a little bit more
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: than you would you can play the same game in
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: the NBA. Maybe, But that's the ratings consation, that's the
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: relevancy conversation. I'm just talking about my personal preference, Tomato, Tomato,
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: I prefer different teams winning championships instead of the usual
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: suspects season in and season out. Where it's like, especially
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: when you're playing that many games. That's the other thing
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: that's different with the NBA compared to the NFL. Like
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: you're playing seventeen games in the NFL, you're playing eighty
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: two freaking games in the NHL and the NBA. So
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: if you have dominance, you've got this Goliath going for
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: a third or fourth straight championship, and it's clear it's
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: gonna take something herculean to knock them off. That's just
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: not incentive for me to buy in and be truly
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: compelled as if other teams could knock them off. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: we have some actual excitement. That's it's like, hey wake
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: me when it's Warriors Calves. I'm still watching, I'm still
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: paying attention, but I'm not nearly as enthused as a
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: season like this one. We'll look at the seeds you had,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you know, the Timberwolves a sixth seed, take it on,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: the Warriors a seventh seed.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: You've got the three four.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Matchup in the Eastern Conference Finals with the Nixon Pacers,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: and it's like, what is happening over here? There's a
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: lot more parody than what we're used to. I thought
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: the postseason has been really good this year, and I
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: get it we're gonna have different views and different preferences,
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: but that's my preference. I'd much rather have parody in
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: the NBA instead of Hey wake me when it's the
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five version of Cavs Warriors and you can
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: just write them in in penn like forget pencil, like
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: those are gonna be the teams.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: I'm not a fan. I'm just not a fan about that.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: As much as you know, different teams, different champions, different storylines.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: I like that better.
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: As far as Purty and what the Niners I think
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: should have done, I don't think he should have done anything.
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: Now he's got one more year left on his rookie contract.
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: Let him play that final year out. You got the
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: franchise tag to use if needed. And what the Niners
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: should have done is look toward next year's draft. It's
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: much deeper than this year, much more first round prospects,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: and you've got Kyle Shanahan's system, You've got his offense there.
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: Why would you believe brock Purty is the only guy
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: that can make that thing go?
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: Why?
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Why would you overpay him? It's like I've got a
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Nissan Altima. I love my Nissan Altima. I'm not spending
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: over one hundred thousand dollars on my Nissan Altima.
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: It's not worth it.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: It's not worth it. As much as I love my car,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: it's not worth that much money. And as much as
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: someone might love brock Purty, he's not worth that type
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: of contract.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: He just isn't.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: He's not special enough to produce on the same level
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: as what he's getting paid, and he's certainly not good
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: enough to produce on the same level he's getting paid.
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: When you have to pick and choose with the roster
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: because you're devoting so much money to him, and yeah,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: like Vic said, sure, give him his props. I think
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: it's a great story. I honestly do last pick of
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: the draft and he's played well enough these first three
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: years where a franchise is willing to pay him one
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: hundred and eighty one million dollars in guaranteed money.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: That's an awesome story. That's like almost a movie script.
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: Or if you saw that in a movie, you're rolling
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: your eyes and walking out like this is dumb who
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: wrote this?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And it actually happened.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Mister irrelevant turned out to be a relevant starting quarterback
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: in the NFL, worthy of that type of contract extension
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: in the eyes of the forty nine ers, not my eyes,
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: because I'm not just going by blind hope. And also,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: I know it's scary. I know it's intimidating to resort
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: to the NFL Draft and oh what if there's another
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: swing in a miss and we get the twenty twenty
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: six NFL draft version of Trey Lance all over again,
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: and we let Brock Purty go and now we have
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: a dud quarterback. Like, yeah, I get that, it's scary.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: I totally understand that, but sometimes you have to make
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: scary decisions. And I'll tell you what else is very
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: underrated and very overlooked. It is frightening to overpay a
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: good quarterback huge money as if he's special, and he's not.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: That reality is very scary too, and teams just think
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: it's way more comfortable to stick with the guy that's
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: not a disaster at quarterback. It's the Cowboys overpaying Dak.
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: Dak is good, he's not great, he's not special, and
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: you gotta skimp with the rest of the roster based on.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: What you're paying him.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: You're not gonna go anywhere. The Dolphins, they have a
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: good quarterback. Tua is good, he's not great, he's not special.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: You're paying him special money, and they're skimping left and right.
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: They're like John new Smith wants more money. Wow, no way,
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: get him over to the Steelers. We got to get
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: rid of Jalen Ramsey. We gotta do all these things
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: because Tua is making huge money. That's a scary reality too.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: That's a nightmare reality too. And teams just don't look
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: at it that way. They're like, you know, we don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: have a disaster at quarterback. Yeah, we know he's not
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: worth this but to pay him as if he is okay,
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: and watch where that goes. Man, that's the thing point
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: to the team that is grossly overpaying a quarterback and
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: it led to big success.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: I'm all yours. Where's the where's the example? Where is it?
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: We had made it to the conference championship game, we
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: made it to the super Bowl, grossly overpaying a guy
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: and it had to skimp all over the place with
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: the roster and we still made it.
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: I'll listen. I want to hear it. I want to
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: see the example. I'll eat my words. If it's out there.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Where is it? I don't see it.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: It's you know, like Joe Flacco bet on himself and
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: they made it to a super Bowl and they won,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: and then he got huge money. And then what happened
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: to the Ravens, Wow, they magically didn't go anywhere. Weird
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: how that worked out. That's what happens with the Dolphins
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: were really good, not that long ago.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Not everything is to his fault.
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: Tron Armstead retires, like, there are some things that happen
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: on the roster that aren't directly tied to the quarterback
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: making huge money. But a lot of it is my
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: precious Miami Dolphins were pretty good not that long ago,
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: and their roster is in shambles right now.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Their roster is rough. There are holes all over the place.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: So I don't know, man, I don't know why people
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: talk themselves into, Oh, this isn't scary at all. Just
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: overpay a guy at quarterback that's not worth that type
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: of money and it'll be great.
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: No, No, it won't, it won't.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: But if that's what makes you more comfortable, Okay, I
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: just I don't see it working out. If you've got examples,
• 34:20

  Speaker 2: Fox Sports?
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me and better friends. I go about a year
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: and a half, I keep salling. I call it show
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: a lot. I know you're Brian, know the filling guys,
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: but uh, I know of you too, But I always
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: saw Ben. I want to ask you, uh, in my opinion,
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: you were talking to Miami Dolphins there on the last segment.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: I placed the bet. I placed the bet from one
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: of my close friends out here, and I put a
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: thousand dollars up against his thousand dollars at the New
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: England patiops, I'm gonna have more wins than the Dolphins.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: You get a comment on that? Am I gonna win
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: win that.
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I sadly, I like your bet better, Danny.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: I like it way better, unfortunately. And I'm a diehard
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Dolphins fan and their roster man is going right downhill.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: And I think your Patriots can have a pretty good year.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I do.
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: They've made a lot of upgrade and I think Drake
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: May he showed a lot of potential in his first year.
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: So yeah, dude, I think your life is your bet
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: is live. I think that, uh I man, I hate
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: to say it, but like the Dolphin season win total
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: is seven and a half, I would not be shocked
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: at all if they are under that number. So yeah,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: Pats might be the right way to go.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I like that. You're Brian know, the fill in guy.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: That's what all my loved ones call me.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: You know, that's when I had the medical situation at
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: the beginning of the month. You know any social media. Hey, Brian,
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: the pill in guy. I hope you're feeling better. I'm
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: just kidding, but all good, man, I appreciate you check
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: it in. That was good from Danny. Yeah, you gotta
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: love a Boston accent. Man, I'm telling you. Unless it's
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: not a girl, I don't know what it is not
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: not appealing, not unless it's what's the movie, the town
• 39:55

• 39:59
