seven to one, The Freak Brother.

12
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:03.280
We have fun. We're live local
laughs all day, every damn a day.

13
00:01:03.040 --> 00:01:06.400
That is a weekday, of course. One hour from now you have

14
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.799
a chance to win some tickets to
Hoody and the Blowfish's coming to town not

15
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.079
too long from now. If you
want to call in in one hour,

16
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.719
we had a little game for you
to play and check it out. Have

17
00:01:17.719 --> 00:01:19.319
some fun there. We got the
scuttle butt coming up with important news you

18
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:23.599
must know in about a half an
hour. But right now it is seven

19
00:01:23.959 --> 00:01:40.120
a m. And now Sports at
seven sports eyes on the Middle East this

20
00:01:40.239 --> 00:01:47.120
morning. For me, there's two
reasons. Formula one is back in Bahrain.

21
00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:53.319
I've been to Bahrain when I was
in the Air Force. It was

22
00:01:53.359 --> 00:02:00.439
a Saudi Arabian Bahrain. What time
is it very luxurious now? When I

23
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:04.239
was there, not really, there
was a gold district in Manama, which

24
00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:07.960
is the capital city, and really
Bahrain's a small island in the Persian Gulf.

25
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:12.800
So our Air Force base, Shaikisa
Air Force Base, was on the

26
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:17.240
very southern tip of Bahrain, and
a few times we would drive shoot forty

27
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:20.159
five minutes. I don't even know, like how long it takes to go

28
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.599
across the whole island. An hour, an hour and a half. Maybe

29
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:25.639
we would drive up to Manama and
you know, eat something and check out

30
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.639
the city a little bit. But
generally we were just down in the Air

31
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:34.080
Force base on the southern tip.
But uh, it was hot as balls.

32
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.639
I was there in the summer,
yeah, one and fifteen, I

33
00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:42.319
don't even know. We had to
do some sand bag filling. Oh that

34
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:49.280
sounds terrible. I remember getting off
the plane. We got off the but

35
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.879
we flew to uh Saudi Arabia,
and I think we drove to the base

36
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:59.120
in Bahrain because it's just a huge
bridge that connects Saudi Arabia to Bahrain.

37
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.800
But I just remember getting off the
damp plane. You get off this giant

38
00:03:02.319 --> 00:03:07.240
Sea five and you get off like
the they lower the thing at the back.

39
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.599
You know, it's crazy when you
travel. These things are bigger than

40
00:03:09.599 --> 00:03:15.280
seven forty seven's and the whole bottom
part is filled with like jeeps and cargo

41
00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:21.680
palettes. And then you climb up
a ladder to the passenger area in a

42
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.599
I think it was a C five
and I think it was. Someone correct

43
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.879
me, And it's a real small
and you're sitting backward by the way,

44
00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:32.759
like you're facing toward the tail of
the plane. Cool. Yeah, it

45
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.000
was just different whatever. But you
climb down this ladder and you climb out

46
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.639
the back of the ramp thing,
and I just remember getting smacked with heat

47
00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:44.319
that I don't know if I've ever
felt before. It was so damn hot.

48
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.319
There's Sunday. Sunday's usually the F
one race. Yeah, it's early

49
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.879
today, so this morning at ten
am our time, we have qualifying in

50
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:58.319
Bahrain and it was the first F
one race of the season. The race

51
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:03.080
is tomorrow. The race would be
to yeah, tomorrow morning, our time,

52
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:06.960
but I'm gonna rush home and watch
qualifying. Is kind of fun because

53
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.560
this is the first race of the
year. So you know, last year

54
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.280
Max Verstappen won absolutely everything. He
won every race but one or no.

55
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.920
Red Bull won every race but one. Carlos signs one in Singapore for Ferrari.

56
00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.519
But yeah, it was total Red
Bull domination. But the optimism of

57
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:25.439
going into a new year, you're
like, all right, well, let's

58
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.000
see what happens. Maybe. I
mean, look, everyone fully expects Red

59
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:30.839
Bull to win the constructors Championship and
Max for Stapping to win the Drivers' Championship,

60
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.360
and he probably they probably will win
both. But you had practice last

61
00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:40.600
night and it was under the same
conditions that they're qualifying today, and Mercedes

62
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:45.319
Lewis Hamilton was the fastest in FP
two free practice two and the other Mercedes

63
00:04:45.319 --> 00:04:46.560
car, George Russell, was the
second. So everyone's kind of like,

64
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.199
all right, maybe, but we'll
find out this morning at ten am when

65
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:54.480
everybody throws their cards on the table
and you go for real qualifying, and

66
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:58.959
yes, I expect Max to somehow
pull it off, but I don't know.

67
00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:00.480
It's just more fun one of the
year when you're like, all right,

68
00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:02.920
let's see what happens. Can you
tell you this Lando guy is that

69
00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:06.720
people are talking about? Sure?
Lando Norris is this is coming out here?

70
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.800
Oh no, he's been around for
four or five years, but he

71
00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:15.879
hasn't won yet. Right, he's
never won a race, but he's always

72
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:19.439
he's one of the more consistent drivers
races from McLaren. His teammate is an

73
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:24.920
Australian Oscar Piastree. But yeah,
Lando is like a He's a popular one

74
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.160
on Drive to Survive, the Netflix
show good looking Kid, although they all

75
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:33.879
are beautiful, beautiful young men.
He's a sweet dude, smart dude.

76
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.399
And the thought is, if he's
in one of the best cars, he's

77
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:40.600
absolutely capable of being one of the
best drivers. But he's my guy.

78
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.279
Making a pick? Oh can I
pick a guy? Please? Lando?

79
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:46.920
You got Lando? I know Norris
is gonna be my guy. Looks like

80
00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:51.399
a nice guy. Great choice,
I'm going But that also by proxy makes

81
00:05:51.439 --> 00:05:55.040
you a McLaren man. Damn it. No, No, that's okay,

82
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.360
that's cool. McLaren's cool, okay, And it's not like taking the Yankees

83
00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:00.360
or taking Okay good. I don't
want Duke Hoops. Yeah, I don't

84
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.920
want a front runner. You're taking
as someone who's in the mix, and

85
00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.600
if they did win, it would
be cool for everyone. It's a perfect

86
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.079
choice because the story McLaren could absolutely
off win this year. It's been not

87
00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:15.040
backfiring on me like Stoke City and
the EPL and twenty eleven. This is

88
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.079
better than Stoke City. The choice
you've made. But the other controversy going

89
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:23.360
on with F one is Christian Horner, who's the team boss of Red Bull.

90
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:28.800
He's the one married to Jerry Hollowell. Yeah, I've been seeing his

91
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:30.399
name a lot later. He's wrong
with him. He's spent most of the

92
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:38.959
off season half in trouble, oh
for a improper behavior. Oh. He's

93
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:41.600
the team principal, right He's the
dude in charge of all of Red Bull

94
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:45.040
Racing who's dominant right now. He's
been there since Red Bull even started in

95
00:06:45.079 --> 00:06:50.040
the aughts. And he's married to
a spice girl. And he spent a

96
00:06:50.040 --> 00:06:56.480
lot of the off season getting investigated
for improper behavior. Is including like WhatsApp

97
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:02.000
messages to a female staffer, And
just yesterday, after I guess Red Bull's

98
00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:06.439
internal investigation, they cleared Christian Horner
of all wrongdoing. And then a couple

99
00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:15.600
hours later a Google drive dropped with
all of his WhatsApp messages and photographsay so,

100
00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.800
I was just looking at some of
them and it's real shady and honestly,

101
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.639
there's no like dong pics or anything. There is a picture of his

102
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:29.839
finger, which is kind of odd. Was he throwing it through the through

103
00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:33.439
the zipper of his pants? No, no, doing the classic bit.

104
00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.639
I mean that is a good one. Walking the room. That is great.

105
00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.000
And I haven't looked at all these
texts, but most of them are

106
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.079
just yeah, they're flirty as hell
for sure. I mean he is this

107
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.759
is how you poorly flirt, flirt
with someone. Or he's asking her to

108
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:55.519
send pictures and but she seems to
be fighting him off in these texts,

109
00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.920
you know, like can you speak
and she says audio yes, and he

110
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:03.000
says video no, you know I
don't And she says, I don't need

111
00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:05.879
to see you in bed, Like
he's asking if you want to see a

112
00:08:05.920 --> 00:08:07.920
pick or something. I don't know, she seems to be fighting him off

113
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.600
but not trying to get fired away. Part of that it's almost like worse.

114
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:18.720
I don't know if that uh yeah, like I do, like we're

115
00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:22.199
making them, making them like run
away from you. Right, She's not

116
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.759
exactly into it, but she keeps
him going. You know, He's like,

117
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.839
what's what do you have on?
She says, skirt. You could

118
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:35.840
have said the baggiest pair of jeans, just dirty. Yeah, I have

119
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:43.600
not shower, I'm wearing I'm wearing
lazagnya like. But then there's one where

120
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.720
she's like, maybe if you bought
me another pair of shoes, shoes something,

121
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:52.159
and he's like, yeah, gladly
buy your shoes. Anyway, if

122
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.559
you care about Formula one, it's
awesome that it's back. It's back today.

123
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.919
I cannot wait, and I look
forward to Kevin coming to work wearing

124
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:07.080
McLaren papaya after Lando Norris pulls off
a shocking victory in the bar rangp which

125
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:09.320
is this week. So I said, all eyes on the Middle East.

126
00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:11.919
I don't know if more people care
about Formula one or golf in the world

127
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:18.559
or someone listening probably really doesn't care
about either one. But whatever, we've

128
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.879
been tracking the Anthony Kim story,
which does have a local angle. Anthony

129
00:09:22.919 --> 00:09:28.879
Kim ten second reset is a legend, well now legit or name was a

130
00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:33.639
very good golfer twelve years ago,
got up to close the top ten in

131
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:37.639
the world as a Ryder Cup player, Presidents Cup player, one of the

132
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.000
potential futures of American golf, A
California kid, but he lived here,

133
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:48.080
lives here currently. Dallas went to
Oklahoma and after twelve years of living on

134
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:52.759
an insurance policy that was worth out
the ten million dollars because he couldn't play

135
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.840
again and if he did, it
voided the terms of his insurance policy.

136
00:09:56.879 --> 00:10:01.279
He this week, this morning returned
to the course for the first time in

137
00:10:01.320 --> 00:10:05.360
a dozen years to play on the
Live Tour which is in Jetta, Saudi

138
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.039
Arabia today. So I was it
started at three fifteen am, give or

139
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.000
take two fifty. I don't know
local. I didn't obviously wake up for

140
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:16.639
that. But first thing I did
when I when I woke up this morning

141
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:20.200
was check the status of Anthony Kim
and he has just completed his round.

142
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.559
Okay, first round we had twelve
years. I'll give you two choices.

143
00:10:26.200 --> 00:10:31.639
One of them is true, Anthony
Kim is either in first place or last

144
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:39.039
place. Ooh, I'm gonna have
to guess last place. You are correct.

145
00:10:39.960 --> 00:10:43.639
Anthony Kim shot a six over seventy
six. His over under was set

146
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:48.679
at seventy four and a half and
this is a par seventy track, and

147
00:10:48.759 --> 00:10:52.759
he is in fifty fourth out of
fifty four spots. Dead last. You

148
00:10:52.799 --> 00:10:56.919
shot a six over, two shots
clear of Bubba Watson who shot a four

149
00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.519
over and then a tie for forty
ninth, or a bunch of guys we

150
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:07.559
just shot two over, so he
was pretty distantly dead last. He started

151
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.159
out find four pars to get well. He started on the eighteenth hole,

152
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.600
which is funny because that's a par
five and I think it has the widest

153
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.240
fairway. Like they did him a
favor of, like we're going to try

154
00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:22.320
to give you the easiest start possible, and there was a lot of eyes

155
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:24.720
on his first swing, and he
did hit the fairway in his very first

156
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.679
shot. They track. Yeah,
Yeah, Anthony Kim is back. I

157
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.799
think his second shot on the par
five from the fairway on his first hole,

158
00:11:33.879 --> 00:11:37.039
the eighteenth, I think he cold
topped it. I can't find video

159
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.120
of that. But he ended up
bogeying in the first hole he played.

160
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.559
Then he did rattle off four pars. He went bogey. Then he made

161
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:48.279
his lone birdie on the on the
sixth hole, on a par four.

162
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:50.440
He rolled in about a fifteen foot
putt for birdie. But he ended up

163
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.639
with seven seven bogies, one birdie
and the rest pars. He also straight

164
00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:01.519
shanked a shot. It was from
the rough on like a brutal downhill lie.

165
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.879
But the word is he cold topped. He shanked one and he is

166
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.240
in dead last place after one round. Yeah, that's probably not what they

167
00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.120
wanted there, but what we do
you expect? He played professionally in ten

168
00:12:15.159 --> 00:12:16.960
years. We were talking about this
yesterday. He'd shoot is he gonna shoot

169
00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:22.200
over a seventy five? You know? Yeah? And I guess think that

170
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:26.039
six over is over son, Yeah, twenty seventy seven or seventy eighth,

171
00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:31.440
seventy shot seventy six seventy So John
Rams your coal or eight under, yeah,

172
00:12:31.559 --> 00:12:37.039
Adrian Mornka, John Ram shot eight
under and Anthony Kim is fifteen shots

173
00:12:37.080 --> 00:12:41.879
off the pace, dead last.
I'm just looking at each leaderboard. There's

174
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:46.480
more up and comers over here in
the PGA Tournament, but on the Lift

175
00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:52.759
Tour there are bigger names just side
by side, and it's kind of like

176
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:56.159
that every week. Now. Yeah, it's kind of crazy it happened.

177
00:12:56.399 --> 00:13:01.759
I mean, I know, I
mean, I I definitely thought liv was

178
00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:05.399
a thing to be worried about,
not worried about, to be the PGA

179
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:07.679
Tour should have been worried about him. I think the PJ Toorges a little

180
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:13.759
cocky with how they thought everyone would
just stay. Yeah, John Rahm might

181
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:16.639
have been the dagger there. I'll
figure it out, hopefully one day and

182
00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:22.919
get it back together. But yeah, Anthony Kim, it's I think that's

183
00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:26.759
give or take what I expected.
I said it yesterday that I thought yesterday

184
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:28.399
was the last day we have real
optimism Franthony Kim, And I don't want

185
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.840
to say a seventy six today dooms
his return. I mean, he could

186
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.679
shoot even par tomorrow. He makes
a big put for the team. He's

187
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:37.799
not on a team, that's the
thing. Put him on the team.

188
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:41.960
Oh, he's one of the wild
card plays him and like Hudson Swafford,

189
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.840
I think they're not actually on a
team. But he's earning the right to

190
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:48.440
potentially have his own team or be
on a team if he showed something.

191
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.279
Yeah, but like I said yesterday, I fully expect him to play out

192
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:56.720
whatever amount of tournaments they've greenlit him
for, which is the remainder of the

193
00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.399
season, cash whatever money he can, and then disappear entirely once again.

194
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:07.840
And the whispers are that loud whispers, or that he has been He enjoys

195
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.840
party, he likes to hang out. He loves to party good late into

196
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.600
the night and into the early morning. And the thought is, you know,

197
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:20.919
you make another ten million or twelve
or fifteen million or whatever you make

198
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:24.240
for the remainder this year just by
showing up, and I think he disappears

199
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:28.399
entirely again. I'm a most surprised
that more athletes aren't that way. Just

200
00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:31.240
get as much money as you can, as quick as you can, and

201
00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:37.000
get out, Yeah, because it
is a job. Well, I think

202
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.360
that's what Travis Frederick sort of did. I Relux sort of did. Yeah.

203
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:46.960
I love that. I love it
for them when you're thirty. Yeah,

204
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:50.399
and Travis might have stayed, like
before the game, Beret, Travis

205
00:14:50.519 --> 00:14:52.799
might have stayed another year, but
you get Gambret syndrome you're like, ye,

206
00:14:54.240 --> 00:14:56.440
huh, oh, this is good. Andrew Luck's nick. Yeah.

207
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.120
No, but Andrew didn't feel like
you got who's gonna play it until he

208
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:03.720
was forty, Like he was a
guy who cut it off because he's interested

209
00:15:03.759 --> 00:15:07.200
in doing other stuff, you know. Yeah, Now, Anthony Kim interested

210
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.200
in doing other stuff is a little
different than maybe what those guys are doing.

211
00:15:11.960 --> 00:15:15.240
I don't know if anything Kim's creating
a Dungeons and Dragons company or starting

212
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:20.519
his own book club and trying to
run the University of Stanford like Andrew Lucky

213
00:15:20.559 --> 00:15:24.559
is right, but it's interesting.
They interviewed Greg Norman this morning and he

214
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:30.639
said that they contacted Anthony Kim like
two years ago. And the guess is

215
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:37.159
that, you know, Anthony Kim
pulled his head off the mirrored table and

216
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.080
answered the phone, said what and
yeah, and then no, like basically

217
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.720
two years ago, said no,
I what. I don't even know where

218
00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:48.080
my golf clubs are They in the
trunk? Yeah, And he hadn't touched

219
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:52.799
him for years, but maybe he
got his game as put together as he

220
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.639
could over the course of a year. And he has a young daughter,

221
00:15:56.679 --> 00:16:00.799
and there are thoughts that he's turned
his life for round settled down. Yeah,

222
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:07.399
his twenties anymore, Those hard years
certainly take their toll. And then

223
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.720
he got into the best golf shape
that he could and then he went out

224
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:15.080
there today and again he shot a
seventy six. And that's hell. I

225
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:18.440
can't shoot a seventy six. You
know, not many listening, Ken,

226
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.600
Yeah, so didn't have your tour
card. You've ever played in the Ryder

227
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.960
Cup. True, so there's a
lot of a lot of a lot of

228
00:16:26.960 --> 00:16:30.799
green in there. Yeah, but
uh, okay, well cool at KIM

229
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:33.799
Live. I'm gonna do your Middle
East report. Thank you for the Middle

230
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.080
East Report. We'll have more on
what's going on in Gaza now. I

231
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.840
think we'll probably just avoid that today. Let's do quickly because I think we

232
00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:48.799
have a short shorter break here.
Quickly. MAVs and Cowboys quickers Okay,

233
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:53.559
yeah, one of my first quicker
than I want to do here the trailing.

234
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:59.399
It's trade. Do you remember that
I do? So the numbers came

235
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:02.559
out trailers. The Cowboys has picked
up his option for next year. He'll

236
00:17:02.600 --> 00:17:06.240
be like four point five million dollars, which is more than you would ever

237
00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:11.359
want to pay your third QB.
But they will have a decision to make,

238
00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:15.640
and there's a deadline for this at
some point. I'm not sure when

239
00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:18.160
the deadline is to pick up a
fifth year option, but on the first

240
00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.839
round picks, you can obviously extend
their contract for a fifth year. So

241
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:27.720
the number for Trey Lance if you
wanted to pick up his fifth year option

242
00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:32.640
so he's with you in the year
twenty twenty five, is like twenty two

243
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:37.720
million dollars. Yeah, so more
and more, And I didn't think about

244
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:38.920
that when the trade happened. The
more and more I think about this,

245
00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:45.079
that is a terrible trade because you're
not going to do it when is his

246
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:47.720
fifth year though, is it?
So this will be his fourth year coming

247
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.640
up in twenty twenty four, so
you still having fairly cheaper rookie deal.

248
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.960
Yeah, four million ish now,
and then they need to decide like soon,

249
00:17:56.160 --> 00:17:59.960
or they did decide they are picking
it up. No, they are

250
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.240
on for year four, so like
coming back next year, yes, okay,

251
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:10.319
but the twenty five so they haven't
picked it up and they're not picking

252
00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:11.960
up his fifth year just yet.
But they can do that. Yeah,

253
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:15.799
And they wouldn't have to do that
until the time that they have to do

254
00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:21.000
that I'm a little uncertain of.
And I tried to look this up yesterday

255
00:18:21.039 --> 00:18:22.400
and it was it was hard to
get an answer because I'm not sure when

256
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:26.119
the fifth year option Okay, I
think it is. Uh Okay. The

257
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.400
team, however, it won't pick
up Lance's fifth year option, which jumps

258
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:33.000
a twenty two point four million.
The Cowboys have until five days after the

259
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:36.880
NFL Draft in April to make that
decision. Yeah, okay, so the

260
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:38.839
team is going to decline the fifth
year option. Yeah, because you're not

261
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:44.160
gonna pay Trey Lance twenty two million
dollars. But just like the more and

262
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:47.359
more other so they got him to
have him come in at the end of

263
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.000
training camp of one year and then
sit on the bench for a year two

264
00:18:51.079 --> 00:18:52.880
at five million dollars. And you
gave it a fourth round draft pick for

265
00:18:52.920 --> 00:18:56.279
that. Okay, that's bad business. I don't I don't know if I

266
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:03.039
agree fourth round pick because I always
want them to draft. Draft, draft

267
00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.880
a QB. You know, Jordan
love it. Draft. I mean,

268
00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:08.759
maybe not quite that early, but
draft somebody and stash him and let him

269
00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.039
learn and all this stuff. But
they kind of did that for the price

270
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.799
of a fourth round pick. For
what was not too long ago believed to

271
00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:19.039
be a top three pick in the
NFL draft. Like, they kind of

272
00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:22.839
did that and they stashed Trey Lance
and he was there for this last season

273
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:26.880
of Dak. Obviously they believe in
what Dak did enough to where they're about

274
00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:33.839
to give him the entire bag.
But if Dak faltered this year and led

275
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.920
the NFL in interceptions, then you
would have had at least someone with some

276
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:41.000
potential that you're grooming underneath him.
And so I feel like that's what they

277
00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.680
kind of did is instead of drafting
him, but they got a high potential

278
00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:52.880
quarterback to have as some sort of
insurance policy that they turned out not needing

279
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:56.880
because Dak. You can argue what
you thought of it, but Dak proved

280
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.359
it again and proved that he is
worth. Yes, this massive cash that

281
00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:04.680
they're about to give him. So
is Cooper Rush on the team next year?

282
00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.839
Because why does Cooper Rush need to
be on the team if you're paying

283
00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:12.160
Trey Lance four and a half million
dollars like Trey Lance should get ever opportunity

284
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:15.920
to be the backup quarterback. Yeah, that's fine, I'm okay with And

285
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:18.920
that's kind of what I want them
to do. I don't think they're gonna

286
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:21.720
do that. I think they'll bring
back Cooper Rush and Trey Lance will sit

287
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:25.920
there and get no work at improving, and then he's just gone after twenty

288
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.319
twenty four. Right, and then
you gave a fourth round pick for some

289
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.400
insurance policy that I just sort of
described. Yeah, and then you after

290
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:36.839
he leaves, because you don't take
that fifth year, then you're back to

291
00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:41.839
having absolutely no middle or long term
backup plan for Dak. Put a fourth

292
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.119
round pick, you get your running
back. Oh yeah at this point,

293
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.799
Yeah, I know, it's just
it's just the other scenario if Dak sucked

294
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:53.680
this year and the team said,
fine, not start over. But yeah,

295
00:20:53.720 --> 00:21:00.960
then you have a now three or
four year season back up who might

296
00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:07.559
be ready to take the helm and
in a world that Dak's not there any

297
00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:10.599
Yeah, so that's what you were
getting for that fourth round pick. I

298
00:21:10.640 --> 00:21:15.279
think maybe, Yeah, I think
you can say both sides of it's just

299
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:17.640
