Speaker 1: All start to you want to present some off the
bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: Off the bench with Jacob Hester and T Bob Abert.
Speaker 3: Come off the pitch.
Speaker 1: Now, here's Jacob Hester and T Bob aber.
Speaker 3: What's having y'all?
Speaker 4: Welcome back.
Speaker 3: Oh TV.
Speaker 2: Here on UH one four five ESP and everybody's having
a great day to day. It is Friday, l s U,
Texas A and M is on the docket during tonight softball.
Speaker 3: Look at a bounce back.
Speaker 2: After last night's Arkansas game and well, can't wait to watch.
Uh Jakie, what's up, dude? How does school drop off?
How are we doing today?
Speaker 3: It was good, it was good. All went well.
Speaker 5: You know, it's uh it's one of those things where
I used to do it every single morning, then I
never do it, and so when I do it again,
I'm like, I'm glad that my wife does this every morning.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 2: There's a there's a lot of funny jokes that could
probably made about those last few sentences. I'm just my
brain's maybe not on enough right now to do them.
Uh yeah, yeah, I mean I do the pick up
every day. It's a it's a lot.
Speaker 5: So yesterday, how about this, because like everyone at Series
XM's on vacation right now, and so like people typically
that we'd go to the bullpen and pull them up
and work for me, like they're not available right now.
So and Bobby was on, So yesterday I had to
kind of do this. You had to piece it together.
So I did it from two to two thirty, and
then we had guests at two thirty three and three
thirty so I could leave, go pick up the kids
some carpool and then come back and finish the show.
And so we had three guests. Bobby Field, you know
some of the space there, and I had to I.
Speaker 2: Mean you now, professor, he hoston daily show, he has
a morning show.
Speaker 3: Should be able.
Speaker 5: He can handle it handlone for sure. You know you'd
be surprised. You would be surprised to Bob. Like you
and I we both host shows, and so if one
of us is out, it's like whatever, we'll figure it out.
Speaker 3: We'll make it work. We'll talk about something.
Speaker 5: We have a lot of our colleagues that if you said, hey,
you got it for twelve minutes, they'd be like, nah,
not doing it, can't do it.
Speaker 3: Won't do it. Just got to talk, yeah, I know.
Speaker 2: Bs, So just start talking about something you're passionate about,
just to fill the empty space, like like like you know,
last Jedi or something.
Speaker 5: We got to have twelve minute monologue ready to go,
I feel like at all times. Yes, because a couple
of days ago, the entire system that we used through
series six M it went down. But I was already
logged into this system, so I was actually up. So
I found out as our music kind of was hitting
to start the show, Hey, EJ's not gonna be here there.
You gotta be ready to go. You gotta have twelve
minutes ready to go. And it turned into an hour
and a half head on a swivel, you know, making it.
And obviously I mean but you know, but like this
is what this is. Okay, Now that situation, yes, that's different.
You gotta be ready to improv. You gotta be ready
to go. But like a planned situation, that's just lazy.
If you can't do segments alone. I agree, because you
could just.
Speaker 2: Write everything, just have everything planned out, like the hell
you could. You could actually script it if you wanted to. Generally,
I like to work off like an outline.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how I do Super Bowl Radio. I have
an outline. Yeah. Yeah. You know who has no problem
with this, Taylor.
Speaker 2: He's just Taylor has forty five minute monologues ready to
go at any moment of the day.
Speaker 3: Taylor.
Speaker 5: If if for some reason these microphones went out, that
was the only one that was working, t Bob and
I got sick. I don't know. Could you right now
go for sixteen minutes?
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I could talk about something out the box.
Speaker 2: An exasperated nod as she sat back in her chair.
Speaker 6: After that, I was thinking about this coming into work
this morning. Jalen Brunson is super underrated for the New
York Yeah he is. Yeah, you get forty points in
a closeout game last night and people are still like.
Speaker 4: Can he be a number one in the NBA? Yeah,
he's been a number one for like three years.
Speaker 2: Well and then yeah, the step back through the legs
three to win the game was pretty insane. And then
he held up the three and he kissed it like
it was like a blade.
Speaker 6: When he is an elite player in this league and
he has been for three years now.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm giving the Pelicans one more year. By the way,
and then I'm going back to the next guy. You
hopped off of the exact wrong time.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, maybe you're the bad luck dude speaking
of jinxes.
Speaker 3: Maybe, so let's trade.
Speaker 6: It's the Pelicans were totally until freaking Jonah Hester showed up,
and there's time to feed this guy to the Whales.
Speaker 3: Feed this guy to the Pelican. Yeah, they're right there,
they were one move away. They were.
Speaker 4: Zion found out, Jake jumped on board. He's like, you know,
I'm feeling a little tight tonight.
Speaker 3: Now it's.
Speaker 2: Now we have Joe Dumars, which you know, I'm not
going to pretend like I'm enough of basketball effort to
have a great opinion on Joe Dumars. I do kind
of hate the hiring process behind it. Now, maybe Dumars
is very good, and I've always been a Joe Dumars
fan because he's from Louisiana, which.
Speaker 3: Again is probably you know, I saw him. I'm going
to celebrate.
Speaker 2: I'm saying I'm a fan of him because of the
very process that I'm kind of dinnigerating here, But like
I do kind of agree with Scott Kusher that, like,
I don't know, it does feel like just a classic
Mickey Loomis, like good old boy, like to just go
with our boy, even though he was awful at the end.
Speaker 3: In Detroit, we.
Speaker 6: Were talking about it, so like the week y'all were
out was the week that Griffin got fired. I mean
it was the just note there was the awful sports
weekend in Louisia.
Speaker 4: We all remember it.
Speaker 6: We had a Pelicans guy on one of the shows
and he was saying that David Griffin back in like
late February, wanted to let go of Willie Green, and
essentially the front office was like, you no longer have
the power.
Speaker 4: To make these moves.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that makes sense too.
Speaker 4: So like he just he knew he was fired back
in February.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 4: He's kind of had to go through the motions.
Speaker 2: David Griffin's biggest mistakes because he did some good things.
They drafted well, Trajan Langdon was a really good higher
I feel like in terms of evaluating college sound. But
Dave Griffin's biggest mistakes, I mean he was awful on
pickinghead coaches. He's stuck with Alvin Gentry for a year.
Terrible decision, stan Van Gundy, terrible decision. And then Willie
Green was at least a bit kind of like the
Griffin Higher. It was inspired and as Scott said, aspirational,
but neither worked out.
Speaker 5: Neither were Look, we got a root for Joe Dumars.
He was born in shre Sport.
Speaker 3: I know that's what I'm saying. He's from Nakatish. I
went to McNeice. Exactly. Got a root for the gay
I always have. I remember growing up my dad being like,
Joe Dumars, you know, he's from Louisiana, played basketball. When
I was I was like, oh, hell yeah, okay, I
love Joe Dumars. That's cool.
Speaker 2: But man, the Detroit fans were clowning us when they
said they hired him.
Speaker 3: It did not end well in Detroit. Well, he had
some highlights though, he had some highlights.
Speaker 6: Well, he won that he won the championship they won
in the early two thousands, but like that was twenty
years ago. Like the last time he was Exact of
the Year was two thousand and four. Anytime in the
NBA or any professional sports you're bringing up, hey, they
have Louisiana ties, you know, it's underwhelming because it's like
you're not recruiting doesn't really matter.
Speaker 4: If you have Louisiana ties or not. And that's what
the Pelicans hung their hat on.
Speaker 6: They're like, guys, he's Louisiana ties. I'm like, you're not
recruiting in professional basketball, Like that's who cares where they're from.
Speaker 4: But that's that's what they hung their head on.
Speaker 3: Yeah, A hold on? Uh uh what was it? Sorry,
got distracted? Got a text? All right, let's do this.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about uh Danny Stutsman. So I'm
we're gonna do that a second. Right after I tell
you about Goodwoodmen's Sexual Wellness. Your Goodwood dot com, your
Goodwood dot com? Has your wood gone bad? Well, we're
here to help.
Speaker 3: Got wood no.
Speaker 2: Well again, We're here to help if you're suffering from
ED low T low energy.
Speaker 3: Any of this.
Speaker 2: Good Woodmen's Sexual Wellness can customize a plan for you
to get you where you want to be. So we
are no longer settling for mediocrity in the bedroom, in
the boardroom, or life in general.
Speaker 3: Okay, and that good one. The first step is going
to be to draw your labs.
Speaker 2: Shout out, Mimi, one stick, I was good to go,
feel great, bam baam right and so you get your
labs drawn. It tells your body, tells him what's up
with your body, where it's strong, where it's weak, and
what you need. And then they customers plan for you
to get you where you want to be. Explore HRT.
The data is great and continue, I mean, the long
term studies continue to point more and more positively towards
the effects of HRT.
Speaker 3: But maybe maybe you're Ti Hussan's fine, right, Maybe it's
something else. It's all there though. It go with inn
sexual ness, pnonhans and all of it.
Speaker 2: Go to your Goodwood dot com, Your Goodwood dot com.
Uh all right, So Danny Stutsman, how about this dude?
The New Orleans Saints drafting Danny Stutsman with pick number
one twelve. This is Dan Brugler's third linebacker on the board.
Pretty damn good value to get a guy this productive
from Oklahoma at one twelve. Here's what Brugler writes, quote.
Stutsman is a smart player who consistently reads keys in
the run game and understands route concepts and zone drops.
Consistency in a NonStop motor are his hallmarks. What he
lacks in high end athleticism he makes.
Speaker 3: Up for in football like you.
Speaker 2: Now, that has been interesting because he does run a
four to five two forty right to be that size
winner four or five two pretty damn athletic and has
high football like you have any four inch vertical too,
thirty four inch, Yeah, I mean that's damn athletic. At Oklahoma,
he led the team in tackles all three years he
was there.
Speaker 3: He had one hundred and twenty.
Speaker 2: Four, one hundred and four and one hundred and nine overall,
three hundred and seventy seven tackles, thirty six tifos in
eight sacks for the career. A super productive dude joining
the squad now and what he gets a train under
to Mario Davis, learned how to be a pro from
one of the best to ever do. It feels like
a fun weapon for Brandon Staley to use here.
Speaker 3: It's a great pig.
Speaker 5: So it's kind of like running back where you get
real value late in the draft and it's just because
of where the position is. Well, middle linebacker's kind of
gone like that in the NFL, and so don't maybe
look at where he got drafted, just actually watch the tape.
Speaker 3: Do an evaluation of the player.
Speaker 5: You mentioned the forty four to five to thirty four
inch vertical twenty two reps on the bench press, So
all the measurables they kind of line up, and then
it lines up with the tape and the production you mentioned.
He led his team in tackles for three straight years.
He's a two time All Conference first team player, two
time All Americans. Yeah at Oklahoma as well, set a
career high with one hundred and twenty five tackles, two interceptions,
five PBUs back in his sophomore season. So he's been
doing this for a long time. Like it's not just
a one hit wonder. He did it for three solid
seasons at one of the marquee programs in the country.
I love everything about the pick. And he's a little
bit taller, I guess for a middle linebacker.
Speaker 3: How tall is he? He's sixty three. He's pretty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's gonna say. Watching highlights of him, he's not
slim is not the right word, but he's not like, yeah,
he's not like your stocky like he's a little long
six change and two thirty three. Yeah, so it's a
little taller.
Speaker 5: Now I point that out because now he's you know,
you have to understand leverage, like we always joke about it,
but that's a thing. Yeah, so that figured, you know,
you figured like slowly, like you mentioned Tomorrio Davis somebody
that you can learn under and continue to develop as
a player. But I think he can help you and
probably can help you from day number one. Now you
know it's gonna be like a core four teams guy,
there's any question about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, like from the get go he'll be that.
Speaker 2: But I like the white boy energy combined with the
four five two forty. I mean that is special teams
one on one right there.
Speaker 3: But I think he helps shilling the defense. I agree.
Speaker 5: I mean Pete warned somebody that you know struggles to
stay healthy for a full season, and so and you
got an aging tomorrow. Dave is still awesome, still great,
and still can give you some value there, but he
is aging. And so this is somebody again don't look
at the round because that's kind of just the way
the position has gone.
Speaker 3: And also nine inch king, uh, nine inch king on
the dot.
Speaker 2: I mean, we love to see it, Danny Stutsman, absolutely
love to see it. Pretty tall Guynne, you know, saying
same as me. Ross Action had a good ride of
two kind of point out you know, now you can
do some interesting things where like a lot of times
you're nickel. You might be in a four two five,
Well you want to go three three five at a
livebacker in the field, maybe rush the backer like like
like he can he can do something. He gives you
some versts. Again, a fun weapon. I think for Brandon
Staley to play with.
Speaker 3: Who pretty cool.
Speaker 2: Now that Brandon Stalley's to DC, can we kind of
forget about that? I feel like they get lost some
times in.
Speaker 3: All the year.
Speaker 5: I try to forget about Brandon Stately and we'll see
if I can remember him again.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 5: Pro Football Focus had the highest grade of any linebacker
in the entire FBS with a ninety point nine run
defense grade.
Speaker 3: Dam you.
Speaker 2: And that's what the same struggled last year. So this,
this is a great pick. I mean, this feels like
great value to get him where he got him.
Speaker 3: I agree.
Speaker 2: Philip Mark says, can't wait to not utilize Stutsman, lose
him in free agency and.
Speaker 3: Watch them all pro for another team. Yeah yeah, yeah,
you know.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, just thinking I was like, man, in four years,
he's gonna look good as a Super Bowl champ with
the Eagles.
Speaker 4: Oh Man, him and Zach Baughan in the middle.
Speaker 2: Ryan Brad says, can we replace a guy being a
dog and start calling him gorilla front lines? He would
be a gorilla front line guy. Danny Stutsman would Bobby
kind of used something? The only the only question I
have on Stutsman is now, I love this in some ways.
He has a horns down tattooed is an upside down
Texas logo tattooed on his thigh, which is awesome and petty,
and I love a guy who loves real hate.
Speaker 3: But I kind of wonder is he is he? Is he?
Speaker 2: Well, actually maybe this is a positive jake. It also
makes me think he's just a really dumb meathead because
I wonder if he thought about this so he has
he has it on his thigh.
Speaker 3: It's an upside down Texas logo.
Speaker 2: But what that means is to him his perspective, it's
a right side up Texas logo. So every time he's
sitting on the toilet, every time he's taking his pants,
every time he looks down, he is being a correctly
perspective Texas slogan at him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, every time he's shining to download something on the
internet and get.
Speaker 3: Caught in the chair.
Speaker 4: It's a virus.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll play that audio.
Speaker 7: And yeah, but then everybody else would see it as
a regular.
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. Well that's the thing. Right.
Speaker 2: Let's say I was with Stutsman and and I was
looking at his thighs. That's I would see it as
a horns. I would understand. Yeah, So but it is
just it's it's it's it's funny to me.
Speaker 5: I mean, ultimate like meathead, crazy white boy linebacker. He's
got the risk guard, he's got the arm guard like
he is. He's got a nice set. He played last
year with the neck role. I hate that helmet though,
I hate it. It's supposed to have a visor, but
still it's still not tight.
Speaker 2: I just don't like not having a face.
Speaker 4: The top axiom or whatever it's called. Everybody nobody's wearing
it now, everybody's wearing.
Speaker 3: I think only Jamis looks. Couldn't it?
Speaker 7: A psycho white boy linebacker is a core piece of
any team.
Speaker 8: Yeah, like you have to have that.
Speaker 3: Mourners maybe not psycho enough. I don't know. Yeah, I
know Joe Burrow did beating an entire pool contest. Yeah,
no coming back from that dune. No coming back. Now
we knew at that model who Joe Burrow was, but
not a poodle.
Speaker 2: Michael, that's funny. Can't read it on air. If you
want to see what he wrote, go to YouTube dot com.

Speaker 8: It's like the one that I know. Shout out to
my brother. He showed me this song.
Speaker 3: Shout it should me, brother, Hey showed me this song.
I was watching boiler Room. Yes, Diane ya Tube.
Speaker 8: Did you ever watch Skins back in the day?
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, I watched Skins. Very good show. Yeah, tell
uh Nicholas Holt. Yeah, it's the first thing I remember
him in.
Speaker 2: And I just remember too, I watched it marathon style
in college one day. I think it was in like
Athens and everybody's hungover and it's just playing on like
or somebody in the DVDs.
Speaker 3: Maybe, But I just.
Speaker 2: Remember being amazed that how much you could get away
with on British television compared to America.
Speaker 3: Like I feel like you saw Boobs.
Speaker 4: I have never seen it. It's called Skins.
Speaker 6: So my first thought was probably my second thought was
this makes sense that team I watched that.
Speaker 2: They tried to make an Anneican one. Yeah, and I
don't think it. I don't think it went well on MTV.
But also, I mean you had Nicholas Whole, which you
didn't realize you kind of had like one of the
top guys in Hollywood there and your teen drama.
Speaker 5: I think if you I saw somebody go back and
like mention all the like extremely famous people that were
in this show in Skins.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't even remember the the sister went like
Tony or Nicholas. Holt's sister went on to be super
famous too. I forget her name. Let me see, uh,
Kaya Scolari, Yeah, she's in like a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3: Joe dim the christ Patel was in it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chris Miles, I recognize some stuff. Oh wait, no, no,
that's Joe Dempsey. Okay, sorry. Daniel Klia was in it. Yeah,
damn so do from a you know.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, that was.
Speaker 8: Like one of the first shows that I binge watched ever. Yeah,
it was on Netflix.
Speaker 2: Great college Hungover show for sure, which you know that
that was one of my favorite parts of my college
are the best memories. Or when you're maybe like staying
at a friend's house, maybe out of town, in town, whatever,
or maybe it's just you your roommates, very long night,
feel awful. The next day you wake up, you would
take twenty dollars to McDonald's and get twenty double cheeseburgers.
You'd come home, dump them on the table, and then
you just lay around and watch TV all day, gonna
worry in the world.
Speaker 4: I was.
Speaker 7: I remember I was binge watching it so much that
my thoughts were in a British accent.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's what happened in you bene right,
you end up dreaming about it.
Speaker 3: I've had a few inss of that. Last night.
Speaker 2: I mean last night I was just dreaming about and
or all night cool dreams though for sure, God Andrews.
Speaker 3: Teop I read the question. I don't see the question anyway.
Speaker 2: All right, So I want to talk about the Texas headline.
The Texas headline Texas football as it relates to LSU.
Speaker 3: So make the headlines.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, Texas reportedly spending forty million dollars on their roster
this fall. Now, this was said to be a you know,
thirty five to forty is going to be a high
end estimate from Houston Chronicle columnist Kurk Bowles. Now, Kirks
covered texts more than fifty years. Okay, so this is
you know, this is one of the ogs here. And
so I initially saw this and I was like, whoa, bro,
this is that? That's pretty crazy. I wasn't too too
shocked because of the lessons that we learned last season,
and I was like, that's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: But then I.
Speaker 2: Read that this is with the REV Share included, and
I think there's an even bigger takeaway to be had now,
which is not that it's crazy that Texas is spending
forty million dollars on its roster, but rather Jake that
pretty much anybody who wants to dance is going.
Speaker 3: To be thirty mil or above.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because you got that fifteen from the REV Share,
and then you're putting in what another ten to fifteen
if you want to be one of the major plays.
So already you're immediately there in that twenty five to
thirty million dollar range. So the takeaway is, I mean,
even Lsu I'm guessing will be like at thirty or
close to it, because remember we also know that everybody
who had kind of resources built up wanted to go
ahead and go all in before REVS share kicks in,
because we don't know exactly what these what these collectives
are going to look like in the near future. So
the again, the biggest takeaway is simply that, man, college football,
this is it, baby, this is it the rosters, this
is going to be the cost of doing business.
Speaker 3: And I don't know.
Speaker 2: People keep saying the market can't keep going up, but
it keeps going up, and.
Speaker 3: It just I can't help but.
Speaker 2: Laugh, thinking, Jake, when when we used to advocate for
players to be paid and we were told there's no money.
Speaker 3: There's no money. Yeah, there's no money to do it.
We barely get across.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're definitely not manipulating budgets and what not so
that we can barely get No, we barely, we can't
do it.
Speaker 3: There's no money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh really, And then you might have said, if
I'd brought this up last year, you might have said, oh, well,
two by that's because it's money from outside sources. Well
guess what now the school and the outside sources are
paying these kids like the market has clearly spoken, if
you can play we're willing to pay.
Speaker 5: You talk about forty million dollars for one team, like
one collegiate roster. Now, I guess if you did break
it into NFL terms, like the NFL sour cap is
way way higher. Yeah, and obviously only fifty three players
compare to what eighty five scholarship players, and the roster
limits are going to change whatever, but still that's that's.
Speaker 3: A jarring number.
Speaker 5: And if your team that can't even get close, you
can't even live in that neighborhood, like it's it's a
gated neighborhood and.
Speaker 3: You don't know the code.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like what are you going to do now? Luckily
for the team that we cover every single day, they've
got the code. They can get it litigated neighborhood. But
it's only going to continue to just push the top
teams in the Big ten the sec away from every
one else. Like no longer is you know, Wake Forest
going to be able to have a fun year with
the Sam Hartman and you know Kenneth Walker when he
was there. It's just, well, how do you define fun
year where they're actually nine wins or like actually in
like a championship conversation? Well, like nine ten wins beating
a Clemson in a Florida state. Yeah, yeah, probably, Yeah,
doesn't feel like that's maybe like nine.
Speaker 3: And three would be the ceiling of like a good
fun year.
Speaker 5: Even teams in the Big ten, Purdue, are you ever
going to be relevant again? Because even Northwestern's a little
bit different, like Northwestern actually has some money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So dred Breed's assistant GM for the Burler makers,
is he no, No, but it didn't InformATE that that
would be that would be like right in with everyone
who's yeah.
Speaker 5: Uh so, like how many teams can actually do this?
How many teams are gonna be left behind? And also
are we ever going to get to where we have
a salary cap?
Speaker 2: I think so, I do think, but I don't know
what So I don't know what the timeline in that
looks like, Jake, Because.
Speaker 3: Who's benefiting? Who's benefiting from this? Obviously?
Speaker 2: I think the players are in a lot of ways
because they're able to constantly use leverage trans et cetera,
et cetera. But more importantly for maybe changing the rules, Jake,
there's a lot of lawyers and agents who are benefiting
big time and who will argue tooth and nail that
none of this should change. And when you have a
gaggle of lawyers incentivized to fight in the courts and
you don't really have I mean, I guess it'd just
be schools paying these other side of lawyers to fight
against it. But it's like I could see it being
a bit slow and grindy to try to change this,
but I think eventually get there. But again, the timeline,
because of the the vested interests, the timeline and that
could could be long.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's times where slow and grindy are good. This
is just not one of them.
Speaker 2: It's not one of them, you know, it's not one
of them.
Speaker 5: Texas feels like Texas, Ohio State, you have one more
that feel like they're just going to be juggernauts in
this yere.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, you know, guys, let's just look
at the data, right. What if the leayist Patrick Cullis
tell us no man considers a course base for himself
which has proven profitable to others. Okay, who won the
national championship last year? Or excuse me, who had the
most expensive roster last year?
Speaker 3: Ohio State?
Speaker 2: Who in the national championship of Ohio State who had
the most draft picks, with fourteen of them seven in
the top forty five. Ohio State, Okay, who had the
second most draft picks, Georgia who had the third most,
Texas who are the fourth most, Oregon. What do all
these schools have in common? They all had rosters that
were like twenty millillion dollars are above, and they all
made the playoffs. So like the answer could not be
more clearly. If you want to win big, you gotta
spin big. Bottom line, bottom line.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can't ball on a budget anymore. No, you
can't go barrel ben shopping. And we were all trying
to figure this out, like even look, even Dabo is
like giving himself over. Right, there's this basketball player for
Clemson that maybe one wants to play football, And yesterday
Dabo is like, oh, well, you know, if.
Speaker 3: He watch to Tay, we got a little revenue share
for him. We can have a little revenue share form.
Speaker 5: There was a point when Dabe says to quit, he
would quit if players ever got paid. Okay, but he realizes,
oh my god, I was about to be left behind,
Like some of that happened at LSU. It's like you
did try to hit the portal in a different way.
You were trying to bring in guys from smaller schools
and elevate their game, and some worked a lot didn't. Well,
now you realize you can't do that. Now you realize
you have to pay for premium players. You have to
go to Oklahoma and get a couple of players. You
got to go to Texas, A and M. You got
to go to Florida. You have to go to these
places that are trying to be on the same level
as you. And that's the player that you have to
bring in, Like you go get Mississippi State's starting quarterback
to be your backup quarterback.
Speaker 3: God, it's I know, it's.
Speaker 2: It is. What a volatile and insane market, which, to
be fair, you should maybe be careful about trying to
predict too much in the future, but it's also just
not that hard to understand.
Speaker 3: Like, look, he says, here, not too boy, making permanent
assumptions though when your data point Okay, now here's the deal, man, What.
Speaker 2: Do you think is gonna be What do you think
is gonna be par for the course going for? Do
you think it's gonna be the moneyball team? Like, do
you do you think it's gonna be the over achieving
moneyball team somehow it's keeping up the big bugs. I'm
not saying that'll never happen. But funnily enough, if you
wanted to reinforce your point, you'd probably have to point
to miss she get into a moneyball as a moneyball team,
and they're not, or they were, and look what they did.
Speaker 3: They said no more said twelve million dollars you get
a quarterback might be the best example of a moneyball Yes.
Speaker 2: Yes, fair, exactly right. So there will be exceptions, but
the rule is money. And again you accuse me of
making grand you know, sweeping proclamations of one year data point. Well,
text me in a couple of years. But even beyond that,
I don't know. I feel like it's the data points
of everything I see in the world, which is, when
you can throw more money at something than somebody else,
can you have a significantly higher chance of being successful.
Speaker 3: Dodgers are pretty good right now, aren't they?
Speaker 2: Why is that? I mean, like, what are we talking about? Like,
what do you what point are you trying to make? Anyway,
it's the NBA's highest payroll.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean they've a well, I guess because you can
go over the cab and then you gotta pay the
luxury tag which team?
Speaker 3: So oh no, actually, Dave, this is a disaster. This
is funny. The Lakers. No, I think it's the Suns.
And they had the worst like ever.
Speaker 4: Because of that Bradley Beal contract.
Speaker 2: Yes, Field, Booker, Durant and they were god awful. So
that money not a gar Okay, second Minnesota Minnesota's first payroll.
Yeah damn okay, Well, okay, back to my point, because
Minnesota just got out the second round, or excuse me,
got out the first round for the second year row,
for the first time in franchise history. Minnesota in the
last two years has now knocked off Durant and uh
Devin Booker, Yo, Kitchen Murray and now Lebron and Luca
pretty damn strong from Anton Company. By the way, did
y'all see Aunt Edwards walking around the Crypto arena after
the game? I've never seen that before. He knocked out
l A and then he took a stroll around the
stadium outside not inside, outside, Yeah, with his boys talking crap. Somehow,
good guys don't die in this movie. More's chestnut dies
in this movie. Oh y'all said, Lakers in five. Okay,
it was crazy.
Speaker 3: Understand that Superman, Yeah, there's anything like it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 5: One sad part about what I just looked up. The
Pelicans have the eleventh highest payroll in the NBA. But
you know what, it's not even the saddest part. You
want to hear something that is diabolical. The Washington Wizards
have their third highest payroll in the NBA.
Speaker 3: Oh god, that's just mismanaged. That's insane, total money they pain.
I don't even know they're anymore. Washington Wizards.
Speaker 5: Well, they're probably still like paying for some other people
that they've had h Calcousmas, somebody they traded.
Speaker 3: Maybe they're still paying some of his deal.
Speaker 5: But so the Tea Wolves it, let's see two hundred
and thirty seven million and some change, Washington two hundred
and eleven million.
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
Speaker 2: Uh, Noogie says, how many rings do I'll just have
the past two decades one Yeah, the one when they
like spit the most money, and you know that made
for a secred ayway whatever. I don't I don't know
why I'm getting defensive and feeling like I have to overpen.
My point, I feel like it's a very obvious takeaway,
and I feel like the market reflects it because look
at the money that's being spent by all the teams
that are trying to win championship.
Speaker 6: So Chris Middleton makes thirty one million dollars, Well.
Speaker 3: I mean you know Middleton was Yeah, Jordan.
Speaker 4: Poole twenty nine million.
Speaker 3: Now I don't understand that.
Speaker 6: One is m Malcolm Brogden twenty two point five million,
GAC's finest baby.
Speaker 5: Shout out Malcolm Brogden, remember what in high school? Like,
shout out to him for sure, But Nobe Hayden. You
know him because he went to jac You shouldn't played football.
I know him because I played daily Fantasy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was good. Who else in here knows him?
And dra she was just talking about Malcolm Brogden last week.
I was like, how do you know Malcolm? I just
love him, very talented player.
Speaker 8: It's crazy I did say that.
Speaker 3: So there it is, guys.
Speaker 2: I believe that if you want to win big, you
gotta spin big. Now, like Jake said, LSU has a
code to the neighborhood. Hey, taxes are going up, property
taxas skyrocketing.
Speaker 3: We'll see where this all ends.
Speaker 4: More.

meatheads in here. So Edward Jones was what I was expecting.
Attend the restroom and then was watching he was looking
at the construction across the street, kind of yelling at
it like an old man.

then I'll look out the window and I'm like, how
long is this dumpster gonna stay here?
