Confused on even what the product is,

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.159

itself, amigo. They saved it with

21
00:02:06.239 --> 00:02:12.240
the tagline Yeah. By the way, yesterday you guys zid say, did

00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.080

this because well because well he said to

24
00:02:20.159 --> 00:02:25.439
me, going I have more on
Santiago's I texted John Daniels on Wednesday night

25
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.479
after the wind. I just said
thank you, and he responded, grossius

26
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:38.840
hermano, what does that mean.
I'm just kidding. He did show us.

27
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.199
That's cool. Hold it up,
my god, No, I don't

28
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:44.919
want to see it. Okay,
Well to show you you can't see that

29
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:49.960
far? You I can see that
far. You're you can do glasses After

30
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:57.080
you're snapped in half yesterday from your
drunken celebration in half in the middle.

31
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:00.879
Yeah, all that Champagne was making
his head palpitate. Someone that it shattered

32
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:07.599
his My temples were pulsing. I
can't see that. I've had these for

33
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.080
a while. You've had those.
Yeah, I have more than one pair

34
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.319
of readers. Readers. Casher's backpack
tipped over yesterday was a house at his

35
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.719
house and four pairs of readers and
pumped out of it. It's good to

36
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.960
be prepared in case. Gave him
a Jesus, I give him a good

37
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:30.360
Jesus. Do you need weird my
goods? You need them everywhere? Yes?

38
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:34.319
And he's smart. He has them
everywhere. He extends an arm.

39
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.080
There is a pair of readers.
Smart, so starts one thing. The

40
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:44.960
top story in sports is there was
a possum on the field and Tech and

41
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.879
TCU last night, but we don't
have time to get to that. Okay,

42
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.080
behind you this morning, I saw
the video of that and it was

43
00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:53.400
really funny as they have the little
loop stick with a loop on it around

44
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.280
the possum's neck and they're dragging him
and he's got all claws out and he's

45
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:02.719
just going as they kind of drag
him off the pitch. It was,

46
00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:10.319
that's a meme. He was like, don't digging his nails in and kind

47
00:04:10.319 --> 00:04:17.399
of just screaming forward grabbing their four
year old Sonday. Yeah, Yeah,

48
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:24.360
that's funny. Also, it had
the same markings on it as the one

49
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:29.120
that was in my backyard in five
days, leading me to believe that possums

50
00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.879
can travel faster than you might think. They're quick. They can be I

51
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.839
saw daytime possum yesterday while walking Geraldine. Yeah, and it's like, hmmm,

52
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:42.279
I typically don't see these unless it's
dark out, so it made me

53
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.079
wonder if it was maybe rabid.
That's the things change what they said environment

54
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:50.720
that they say, Although there are
some staunch possum defenders who will weigh in

55
00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:57.639
and say that's always been a big
misnomer that they're there rabies carriers, they're

56
00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.199
really not. I don't know what
I leave on that because I don't know,

57
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:04.920
but that's possum cross the street and
into a yard and down somebody's fence

58
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:10.439
line yesterday at like four point thirty
in the afternoon. Why do they name

59
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:16.879
a lake possum kingdom? That's a
regal sounding. I'm sure the weird stuff.

60
00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:20.040
I'm sure there's a story on that
about having a bunch of possums.

61
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:24.120
That's it. Yeah, so too, Kevin. That's my guess is your

62
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:30.439
deductive reasoning skills are far beyond really
incredible. Now do White settlement well that

63
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.560
one week? Unfortunately? No?
Maybe? Uh, then after that one

64
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.600
we can solve the mystery of gun
barrel City. That one's a different one.

65
00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.040
No, that's not about gun barrels, no, no, no,

66
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:49.560
but it's a rodeo possome kingdom that
sounds like a crappy Disney movie. It's

67
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:56.639
a great tody song. Yeah,
yeap. What other possum kingdom songs do

68
00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:02.600
you know one? Yeah, I'm
saying it's not as out there as people

69
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:05.759
may may know that. I'm just
saying, go find out and like give

70
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:11.199
me the full Well, what is
this sort? Was it just possum?

71
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.560
Yeah? No, that's not true. It was just a bunch of possums,

72
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.360
And that's why it's called that.
I bet it was. I bet

73
00:06:17.680 --> 00:06:21.519
I bet there was a lot of
possums. Nothing in life is that easy.

74
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.879
And who officially names these things?
The mayor? No? And then

75
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.199
people just start calling it that,
and then they're like, screw it,

76
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:32.040
write it down, all right.
I don't know, Kevin, just get

77
00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:36.519
on with whatever you're doing. I
feel pretty good about the fact that it

78
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:43.040
wasn't just a bunch of possums living
there like meerkat manor why would you feel

79
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.720
good about that? What other logical
reason to call it possum Kingdom? Just

80
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:51.839
some country boy out there said,
hey, what if we call it Possum

81
00:06:51.959 --> 00:07:00.839
Kingdom. I'm just saying, what
is the reason? There are several stories.

82
00:07:00.399 --> 00:07:03.360
There's several stories about the origin of
the name Possum Kingdom. All right,

83
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:08.319
here's one you're ready. Local legend
has it the Possum Kingdom got its

84
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.199
name from a fur trader out of
nearby Mineral Wells who always referred to the

85
00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:19.360
trappers in northwest Palo Pinto County as
the boys of Possum Kingdom. The name

86
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.920
often associated with a particular bend of
the Brazos. Ah. Not just about

87
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:33.079
a bunch of possums who were playing
cards and you know, making farms point.

88
00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.240
They have Hell's Gate at Possum Care. Yeah, you know about Hell's

89
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:41.279
Gate. Isn't that where the red
bull divers jump off it? Is But

90
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:45.000
before that, you know what it
was where the drunk people would jump off.

91
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.720
You go up to the top of
Hell's Gate and you just plunge into

92
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:54.279
the lake. Suicide or is it
illegal now to do that? It should

93
00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:59.199
be because that definitely multiple deaths for
sure over the years. The story here,

94
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:03.199
the comanches found two fur traders,
launched a significant amount of arrows thereby

95
00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:05.319
piercing their bodies, and killed them
both. From that day forward, that

96
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:11.040
point on the Brazos River was called
Hell's Gate. When Postham Kingdom Lake began

97
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:18.360
impoundment in nineteen forty one, it
created Devil's Island. Yeah, bostop Kingdom's

98
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:24.279
wild Man. We have Hell's Gate
upon Devil's Island within Postham Kingdom Lake.

99
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:26.439
It was like five ten years ago. They had big wildfire problems out of

100
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:30.600
Possum Kingdom too. They have a
cool golf course out there, Mikey called

101
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:33.240
the Cliffs. We should go play
at some time. Love to you hit

102
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.919
over this thing over a cliff?
Is that right? Yeah? Kind of

103
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:41.679
cool. So obviously Rangers from the
World series were pumped. We'd be talking

104
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.240
about the prey. We been talking
about a lot of Rangers stuff, Cowboys,

105
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.240
Eagles. Is this the best Cowboys
Eagles matchup we've had in a long

106
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:50.399
time, where the quarterbacks are healthy, the teams are good. It seems

107
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:54.919
like there's kind of a lot on
the line, and it feels like it's

108
00:08:54.960 --> 00:09:00.360
just being overshadowed all week by the
Rangers, which are fine they have had

109
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:03.120
it not been at the Rangers not
been in the playoffs. This is all

110
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.440
that we would have talked about all
week long. JJ found some audio and

111
00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:09.879
sent it over to me, and
I was like, this is good.

112
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.600
We should play this, and this
is if you're gonna And the reason I'm

113
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.159
doing this is because if I'm going
to be the guy who calls out Mike

114
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.360
McCarthy for every dumb thing he says, then also I should be fair and

115
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:24.679
when he says something encouraging, we
should play it and listen to it and

116
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.159
at least think about it for a
minute. Here's Mike McCarthy on his quarterback

117
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:35.720
in the offense really just you know, cutting dack loose on me. But

118
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:37.639
the ball distribution was you know,
we hit our average. You know,

119
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.159
we had eighty percent of our you
know, plays were you know, rushes

120
00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:43.919
or completions saw me. So that
that part, I think, you know,

121
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.559
consistent, you know, and if
you look at play calling as when

122
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.559
you throw it, it's more aggressive
than we were more aggressive yesterday. We

123
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.960
need more production from the offense,
and I think a big part of that

124
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.240
is just trusting your players and opening
things up. So, you know,

125
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:03.360
I just you know, conceptionally,
you know, we we got some things

126
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.320
we can still haven't got to yet. But to me, the first that

127
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:11.799
first trimester, you show you know
what you think you want to be coming

128
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:13.519
out of the off season, and
then you start getting into variations of those

129
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.559
concepts. So I think we're starting
to hit that point. Cut dak loose,

130
00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:24.480
open it up? Have it shown
you everything? More variations of the

131
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:30.480
offense. Now we're talking. Now
we're finally getting there. Why does it

132
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.159
take so long? Does it?
Or is he just saying I think he's

133
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.039
just saying words. Yeah, he's
just saying words, probably, And I

134
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:41.639
was trying really hard not to just
say that really nice to him. That

135
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:46.399
is nice. You're trying to be
nice to Mike MacArthur. Eighty percent they

136
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:50.440
want every eighty percent of their place
to be rushes or completions. To me,

137
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:58.639
that and that follows the formula of
time management, game management, controlling

138
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.960
the ball. But I do think
that's a bad way to look at it.

139
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.000
To go eighty percent of our play
should be completions or rushes. You

140
00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:11.960
should be looking at the yards of
those plays, not the type of play.

141
00:11:11.080 --> 00:11:18.360
It does sound like he's just attaching
meaning to something purely circumstantial and you

142
00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:22.200
applying it and taking credit for it. You need to make it sound good

143
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:26.440
for you. I know people that
do that. That's what I was meant

144
00:11:26.440 --> 00:11:31.480
to do that the whole time.
That's odd. I guess that would lead

145
00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.320
to shorter completions too, right,
Yeah, because reception rushes or receptions completion

146
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:43.320
complete completions are rushes eighty percent,
So four out of five plays we want

147
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.200
to be a running play or a
completion. And I would just say that's

148
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:52.279
odd. I've never heard that's that
that combine with the percentage of signed to

149
00:11:52.360 --> 00:11:56.159
it. But I guess what that
does is it keeps the clock running,

150
00:11:56.840 --> 00:12:01.440
hmm, which is what you want. I don't know if of the clock

151
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:07.600
running not running, I don't know
that I care about that. Points and

152
00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:11.960
first downs and staying out of third
downs is how you rest the defense.

153
00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:15.840
Is this the whole thing of Like
in baseball we talk about, well,

154
00:12:15.879 --> 00:12:18.759
we got to make him work.
Well, making a guy work is not

155
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:24.000
necessarily standing there until everybody. It's
like making him work is if one guy

156
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.639
gets on base, then he has
to pitch to the next guy. That's

157
00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:30.000
the thing gets a hit. Yeah. The clock running, in fact,

158
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:33.480
makes the time go faster. Yeah, you know, if you're looking,

159
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:37.840
if the sole objective is to get
your defense actual rest, which means time

160
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:43.759
not on the field, the more
clock stoppages you have, the better in

161
00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:48.639
an offensive drive. Right, I
mean in terms of like I mean,

162
00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:50.639
I mean, I guess. I
mean what he's saying is avoid three and

163
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:54.279
outs and things like that. Obviously
we know all this stuff though, Like

164
00:12:54.320 --> 00:12:58.840
so you know, I don't know, but I like hearing cut dak loose.

165
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.600
Yes, I thought the whole effing
first half of the season, it's

166
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:09.799
been we're scared Deck's gonna throw a
bunch of interceptions. Quarterbacks throw interceptions.

167
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:15.279
It's okay, don't throw a bunch
of them. How Manyay, God,

168
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:18.600
don't throw a record level of them. I think he's got five, and

169
00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.080
it might be four. I think
it's five. If he's fumbled then and

170
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.440
then it's four because he's got five
turnovers eleven, but Jalen hurts fumbles because

171
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:30.840
he runs a lot. Dak had
three against the Niners, yeah, three

172
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:35.039
and two others Cardinals and Rams,
and then four clean game two of them

173
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:39.440
I know for a factor, tip
balls too, yeah, and garbage time.

174
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.399
Trying to get something going right.
But I do agree with like,

175
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:48.799
let's get deck close. So Cowboys
Eagles. We'll have our Ghost Pepper Pavilion

176
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:54.879
picks where we predict what's going to
happen on Sunday. We'll have that coming

177
00:13:54.960 --> 00:14:00.759
up at eight o'clock. Will Danny
have anything chicken palm related? No,

178
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:05.000
no, no parm. There is
food involved, though there is for you.

179
00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:09.639
Sometimes it's called crutch. We've had
some dumb ones, but chicken parm

180
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.679
out of the Corvin Carroll getting tagged
out on the chicken parm he had in

181
00:14:13.720 --> 00:14:18.519
his pocket is the dumbest sentence I
think I've ever heard. And I love

182
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.799
you a damn love you. There
were some people who were trying to revoke

183
00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:28.080
his broadcasting license, but there wasn't
enough of those people who were trying to

184
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.840
do that. When Danny drove up
the ramp of the parking lot that day.

185
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.600
There were some FCC officials trying to
wave him down to take his broadcasting

186
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:41.840
license. Hey you there like a
bike cop. Yeah, phrase a whole

187
00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:45.360
and he just kind of smirked and
drove right past him. Yes, thankfully,

188
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.000
I was shielded by the signs of
the protesters. There were tons of

189
00:14:50.120 --> 00:14:56.960
DINGUS Morning News protesters all holding up
their paper. The mass play tonight here

190
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.919
on the freak. It is a
late one. I think it's nice.

191
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.799
Here do we go? The Nuggies
defends the Denver Nuggets the beginning of the

192
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:13.320
NBA N Season Tournament. So is
this in Vegas? No? Okay,

193
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.799
the tournament's in Vegas. You said
this was the being this. Well,

194
00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:20.240
what's the beginning of the games that
go towards the NBA ND Season Tournament?

195
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:26.879
Okay, I accept your apology.
Then six five team groups, big group

196
00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:30.440
stage, all that stuff. All
right, he's in our group again,

197
00:15:30.559 --> 00:15:35.320
the Nugs. Oh, I'm so
sorry, Kevin. I I saw this

198
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.759
yesterday. I burned you. I'm
not in the business of burning y'all.

199
00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.080
I love you, damn. I
know I don't want to I know I

200
00:15:43.080 --> 00:15:46.200
don't want to do You don't even
really care that much exactly. I don't

201
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.519
even care. We're just talking,
but to hear him sigh when the teams

202
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:52.559
in the group and you just see
it. And for those of you that

203
00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:56.279
you know, maybe you woke up
a little earlier than you're used to at

204
00:15:56.360 --> 00:16:00.639
like seven eighteen and you're having a
hard time for going back asleep. We're

205
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.679
about to talk about the NBA N
Season tournament, so maybe that will help

206
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.639
Rockets, Nuggets, Clippers, use
this. Use this next three minutes.

207
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:15.919
Was your snooze button, Rockets,
Nuggets, Clippers, Pelicans. That's all

208
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:21.279
gets, Nuggets, Clippers. That's
all I have. And I know you've

209
00:16:21.320 --> 00:16:23.960
had on the run sheet, like
the rules and rags on this thing a

210
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.399
few things. But what do we
get? Just a trophy? Is there

211
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:33.879
any other actual impactful Yes, the
winning team gets five The players in the

212
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.919
winning team will each get five hundred
thousand dollars neat, that's a lot of

213
00:16:38.919 --> 00:16:44.200
money for some of these guys.
That's interesting. That's a fourth of jaden

214
00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:48.679
care about that? No, not
really, but I think it's interesting.

215
00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:53.039
I like leagues that are ambitious and
try things, and this is modeled after

216
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.639
the soccer stuff where they have n
season tournaments, every year all year,

217
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:03.639
too many, making it completely confusing. But I like that they're they're trying

218
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:08.160
something to spice up the NBA in
the in the NFL season stuff because they

219
00:17:08.160 --> 00:17:11.359
have a hard time early in the
NBA season. So yes, I don't

220
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.599
know, I don't right now.
No, I'm not like fired up for

221
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.039
the midseason tournament. But I bet
if the MAVs are in the semi finals

222
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.400
or the finals of the n Season
Tournament, I think we're gonna ten percent

223
00:17:22.680 --> 00:17:26.960
care more than we would about a
regular regular season game. So you haven't

224
00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:32.599
gone to NBA shop dot com and
gotten your in season tournament hoodie? Have

225
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:36.880
you seen the courts guaranteed if they
win the n season Tournament, I'm buying

226
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:41.039
a shirt. Have y' all seen
the court designs? Yeah? Are they

227
00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.720
going to end racism again? Yeah? We already ended ratios? Yeah?

228
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.799
What else do they want from us? You should see the court design in

229
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:52.519
the break I'm not now, but
like, look at the crazy ass court

230
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:55.640
designs for the NBA in season tournament
once it happens. But you're right,

231
00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:02.400
Mike money interest in this time year
and it's it's basically the whole thing of

232
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:06.559
why not, right, it's just
a regular season game. And with all

233
00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.200
athletes, the thing we don't really
want to talk about that much is it's

234
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.680
only really about money, especially golfers, by the way, which is a

235
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.039
whole different conversation. All they care
about is money. But I bet if

236
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:19.559
you're in that final, and you
know, it's five hundred grand, and

237
00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.160
I think if you're in the if
you lose the final, you still get

238
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:27.359
some money, so they're already profiting. You will see dudes going to war

239
00:18:27.880 --> 00:18:33.519
like you wouldn't on a random ass
November day for five hundred grand, knowing

240
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:36.119
we win this game, it's half
a million dollars for each of us.

241
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:38.400
Now, for Luca that might not
mean all that much, but yes,

242
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:41.160
you're right, here's what I think
it should mean. I think if you

243
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:47.279
win the NBA N season tournament,
you get to choose your first round playoff

244
00:18:47.279 --> 00:18:52.000
opponent. Okay, that's insane.
I like it. If the league was

245
00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.720
like floundering, then yes, I
would support doing something like that. But

246
00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.799
that is kind of stupid. How
bad has coues that be? I want

247
00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:07.519
the diston's what you picked on random
Eastern Conference? Yeah? In the playoffs

248
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:10.319
at all? Yeah? Do I
want Okay, that's not gonna work.

249
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:11.640
And what if you're that team that
sucks, but you got put in the

250
00:19:11.680 --> 00:19:15.200
playoffs because you were chosen and then
you win, but you're drafted by another

251
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.440
team to take them on and then
you beat them. What if they evolve

252
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.880
it into movies? Movies should be
written. No, no, what if

253
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.680
they evolve it into if you win
the mid season tournament, you make the

254
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.960
playoffs. If you're a non playoff
team, how about if you win the

255
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:36.119
nd season tournament, the team that
you beat has to have a foot for

256
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:44.880
a cell phone pick. Yeah,
and now we're talking my language. Yeah,

257
00:19:44.880 --> 00:19:47.240
or they have to play with the
chicken parm in their pocket for the

258
00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:52.559
second half of the NBA season.
Baseball free agency starts next week. Players

259
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.079
can be traded at beginning of today. Your your rangers who are free agents,

260
00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.640
the big names, Jordan Montgomery,
Mitch Garver. That's all I have

261
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.759
on that. We'll talk more about
that in the next week or so.

262
00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:07.359
Or we want to day an't I
don't want to lock anything in. He

263
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:12.559
hates commitment. No, I love
commitment. Do you tell other things?

264
00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:15.920
Why would we need to bring Mitch
Garver back when we have Bostin hedges on

265
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:19.079
this roster damn straight, and we
will see his bear ass today at the

266
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:23.039
parade. More on that next on
ninety seven to one. The frequent I

267
00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:29.319
also tell you how the Rangers belled
out seven individuals on Wednesday night. Next
