1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:12,359
Speaker 1: Is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross ten away down.

2
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Good morning, and welcome to a Wednesday edition Matt Thomas

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,160
Show with Ross, And we are here to entertain the

4
00:00:22,199 --> 00:00:26,239
hell out of you, maybe create a few arguments, take

5
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,719
subtle jabs at each other for the next four hours.

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,119
Maybe not so subtle. So yeah, okay, should be fun.

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,719
Got a busy day today, I mean we do. I

8
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:39,280
gotta get like a mega nap in oh after the show.

9
00:00:40,119 --> 00:00:42,679
Late start eight forty two tip it could be eight

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:45,359
forty seven. No, it's just like they call in the

11
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:48,359
business that boy boys sliding. So it's the latest they get.

12
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:51,640
The NBA sends us a timing sheet on national television game. Okay,

13
00:00:51,759 --> 00:00:54,880
and we are tipping off. If everything works according to

14
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,000
plane at eight forty two, it won't. There is a

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,840
potential over for a five minute slide. Guys fly anymore

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,280
than next Okay, only five minutes. So it's eight forty seven.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,640
They've gone. They've done eight fifty before that was in

18
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:10,040
playoff time. They're not gonna bump it for this late.

19
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:13,280
So that's good for Calves Lakers on a Thursday. And

20
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:15,359
the reason why the game is being bumped is not

21
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,599
because the games get a lot of fouls or a

22
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,439
lot of challenges. They extend all the breaks they do,

23
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,159
and they just don't plan enough. Like you go to

24
00:01:23,239 --> 00:01:25,079
the guide and it says the game's gonna take two

25
00:01:25,159 --> 00:01:28,599
hours or whatever. It never takes two hours. No, Well,

26
00:01:28,719 --> 00:01:31,560
the game is usually a seven to ten start, which

27
00:01:31,599 --> 00:01:33,159
is a normal. First of all, they should do it

28
00:01:33,239 --> 00:01:35,920
like the like basketball baseball guests go when it says

29
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,040
seven to ten, first pitch the pitcher is says seven teen.

30
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,120
No basketball, they should say seven to ten. We're usually

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,640
out of there at the earliest nine to thirty, the

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,319
latest about nine forty nine forty five. When you say

33
00:01:48,359 --> 00:01:51,200
give or tank yep, then wex goes about thirty six minutes,

34
00:01:51,239 --> 00:01:53,280
and then I'm on about ten oh six. Now when

35
00:01:53,319 --> 00:01:57,120
Clinton does it, it's how long, actually, Clint. Honestly, Clinton

36
00:01:57,159 --> 00:01:59,079
tries to act like he goes short. He doesn't go

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,239
as short as he thinks he does. Oh really, just

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,319
saying that that's a little inside baseball team. I'm just

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,480
being in I'm just being impatient because I'm like, let's

40
00:02:06,519 --> 00:02:09,000
get this rockets wrap started. The game ended thirty minutes ago,

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,080
and I want to talk to callers yeah, yeah, imself,

42
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,719
I do believe postgame shows in general, and I will

43
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,800
and I give Robert and Steve a lot of credit

44
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:17,560
on the Astros.

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 3: I do.

46
00:02:18,439 --> 00:02:20,759
Speaker 2: Now. The only thing I would tell Robert, and I've

47
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:22,400
told this to his face before, because I'm saying, I

48
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,159
said lovingly fashion when the Astros lose eleven and nothing,

49
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:27,759
he runs through the eleven runs they're giving up. I

50
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,360
don't think you want to do that. In the fourth

51
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,120
this happened. Yeah, in the sixth Aaron Judge his first

52
00:02:35,159 --> 00:02:36,960
home run, in the eighth he had a second home run,

53
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,360
and the ninth he had his third. Yeh, yeah, I'm

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,879
good actually in that case though, I'm okay sitting through

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,759
those because I want people to cool off so I

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,599
don't have to hear it take fifteen calls about how

57
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:47,960
they should bunt more to win the eleven nothing game.

58
00:02:48,479 --> 00:02:52,280
Uh so, uh so, yeah, needless to say, uh the

59
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:54,639
NBA doesn't do itself in a favorite College basketball is

60
00:02:54,719 --> 00:02:57,159
running themselves in a problem. They used to schedule two

61
00:02:57,199 --> 00:02:59,479
hours like you'd have a ten to twelve, but now

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,680
these games are going like two fifteen, two twenty, so

63
00:03:01,719 --> 00:03:04,199
they're what they're doing is they're sending people to these

64
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,919
like if you're going to watch your let's say University

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Houston was on FS one and the games are started two,

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,719
well they'll push it to two ten, they slid a

67
00:03:13,759 --> 00:03:15,199
five minutes in the game, stills, and then they wind

68
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,680
up putting it on FS two or on their FS app.

69
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,599
I don't think these networks are doing themselves any favors.

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,800
They should either do one of two things, shortened the brakes,

71
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,360
which they're never going to do, or two just gap

72
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:29,199
two and a half hours in between so you don't

73
00:03:29,199 --> 00:03:32,319
piss off your audience. I don't know why they continue

74
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,280
to pretend, because yeah, in nineteen seventy eight the game

75
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,680
took two hours. We're in and out of there. It

76
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,840
doesn't happen anymore. In this day and age. You have

77
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,599
you have challenges, and you I mean, as you mentioned,

78
00:03:44,639 --> 00:03:47,159
the breaks are longer, the games are different, and then

79
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,479
you have challenge challenges in every sport. Yeah, it's when

80
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:55,960
I Haven't forbid an NBA again gets flagrant review. After

81
00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,599
Hen't Forbid the Rockets and the Pistons are playing, you

82
00:03:58,719 --> 00:04:01,199
get five flagrate reviews. That was a great game, good

83
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,879
game game. It's like, come on, I mean, when you

84
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,560
go to a game, you get to see people throw

85
00:04:06,639 --> 00:04:09,919
hands on multiple occasions. Yeah, but also yeah, the timeouts tonight,

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,319
I got I want to say, like three fifteen, three

87
00:04:12,439 --> 00:04:15,479
twenty something crazy like that. Mm hmm. I remember during

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,279
the college football season sometimes when the Cougars would play,

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,040
they'd have the fancy little timeout indicators with a little

90
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,279
you know, they would carry this little thing around that

91
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:29,480
showed how Yeah, they would have three fifty breaks, three

92
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:32,759
minutes and fifty seconds. Let's go, you got you got

93
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,079
a jam as many insurance companies that are ripping you

94
00:04:35,199 --> 00:04:37,560
off into one break. Frankly, what you're doing is the

95
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,519
long we look. We we have to worry about this

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,839
on our radio side too, we try not to take

97
00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:43,720
super super long breaks. We do have people that want

98
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,160
to advertise in a show, and for that we love them.

99
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,319
I mean advertising make the girl go or go around. Oh,

100
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,839
we love advertising. But if you had these mega, mega breaks,

101
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,800
you have a chance of somebody flipping the channel. Unless

102
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,079
you're a diehard team of you know, they probably have

103
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,959
some kind of science to back up. Oh, I'm sure

104
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:00,920
that we do. Yes, we do. You know, everything is

105
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,759
measured and there are analytics to it and those analytics

106
00:05:03,759 --> 00:05:06,800
are very important because that doesn't directly impact business. So

107
00:05:06,959 --> 00:05:09,720
we appreciate you keeping it right here Sports Talk seven.

108
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,639
Now you know what there's I mean, let me tell you.

109
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:13,800
Let's be brutally honest. The rest of the competition out

110
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,600
there sucks. God, it's uber boring, uninteresting, droning on and on.

111
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,519
At least you're gonna get a little bit of everything

112
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,560
with us. Let's see, we're more knowledgeable, funnier, and more entertaining.

113
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,040
That's what four hours should in the middle of day.

114
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:29,360
Let's go breaking down you know, second tier defensive linemen.

115
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,759
No or investigating what free agency that Nick Cassira may

116
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,279
sign on a one year deal in it to the

117
00:05:34,399 --> 00:05:37,639
manuche Yeah, all right, So Rockets and Spurs tonight it'll

118
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,920
be matchup number three of four huge Rockets, Spurs just

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,959
played what we can change ago? Uh huh? Are the

120
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Spurs fans caravaning down here again? Had a pretty decent section,

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,160
Did they know they had a bunch at the I mean,

122
00:05:50,319 --> 00:05:52,360
what do you call it? Behind the basket? Not end zone?

123
00:05:54,199 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: Yeah?

124
00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:57,759
Speaker 2: In zone seats? Yeah, okay, I was I was asking

125
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,079
the XP. I don't know, I don't what they call

126
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,920
them baseline upper base. A lot of people in the

127
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,600
end zone Spurs fans, and they're a during free throws

128
00:06:08,639 --> 00:06:11,800
like they were loud. Let me tell you that's that's

129
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:16,120
nothing compared to San and then they were the whole time.

130
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,560
They lay thousands of people. Really yes, okay, I'll say

131
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,319
it because you can't. It's a bunch of a bunch

132
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:31,120
of Mexicans. That's my people. They like basketball San Antonio

133
00:06:31,199 --> 00:06:36,560
Spurs basketball, Yes they do. One thousand and one. I

134
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,279
was in that building. All right, have you been to uh?

135
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,360
Have you been to a brown guys with wispy frost

136
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:44,879
Bank Center?

137
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:45,319
Speaker 1: Have you been?

138
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 2: Have you're been there for a game? I have not. Well,

139
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,480
it's I've been. Well uh uh, it's the same building,

140
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,839
same building if it's like a T and T way

141
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
like yao. Ming was playing and this was when the

142
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720
Rocket the Spurs only had I don't know, two or

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,360
three championships, so I was talking a lot of I

144
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,519
was a young and a little more rabble rouser. I

145
00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:10,639
also went into the building with a a coke bottle

146
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,680
with whiskey in it, and the Rockets pulled out the

147
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,040
wind and you felt really good. I was starting a

148
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,519
Houston Rockets chant with my fellow Rockets fans. My favorite

149
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,800
of all time is we had a listener trip to

150
00:07:24,879 --> 00:07:28,079
San Antonio in nineteen ninety five for the Western Conference Finals.

151
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,319
We took five buses of listeners. Five buses. Five buses,

152
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:35,040
so that's about two hundred people, give or take some

153
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,079
of those. You know, you didn't want to have school buses, no,

154
00:07:37,319 --> 00:07:40,160
like charter bus prison busses. No, not prison charter like

155
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,759
regular air conditioning charter buses. All right, I'll lets you

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
see all the time, ross I got you. Okay, So

157
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,639
we had like two hundred people go and we got

158
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,639
into the upper deck at the Alimal Dome for the

159
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,639
night that David Robinson got his MVP award, and then

160
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:55,399
Elija Won schooled them for two and a half hours,

161
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,319
torched them. It was so much fun, such amazing. Yeah,

162
00:08:00,959 --> 00:08:02,199
you can really do that if you want, if you

163
00:08:02,199 --> 00:08:04,240
want to do a day trip Santornio, because here's the thing.

164
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,959
The arena of the Frost Bake Center where the Spurs

165
00:08:06,959 --> 00:08:09,240
play is actually on the east end of San Antonio.

166
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,199
So you're not going all the way into the city.

167
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,879
You're actually going a little bit shy of it. Yeah,

168
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:16,079
I've busted san Antonio. It's not bad. No, you should.

169
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,560
You could guess why it runs with roll Well, that's

170
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,519
don't they have like a special colored seat which is

171
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,319
your name on it? Right, that's rude. Like there's like

172
00:08:27,439 --> 00:08:30,120
fifty seven thousand seats in the Alimal Dome and that

173
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,720
all blue. And yes, there's been a lot of Alimal

174
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,559
this place reserved for Ross. He's here every year. They

175
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,919
haven't been in years, mostly because of the conference to

176
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,559
say you're not in an affiliation anymore. Uh So it

177
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,679

and I'll still have a chance to go back into

180
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,639
my car and take a massive, massive nap after. You

181
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,039
don't need a nap out, You got that right? All right?

Instagram every time I land in a city, Oh wow,

I'm going to put the lights of that city, and

192
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,480
I'll put a song that I think matches either the

193
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:29,399
tenor or the city, or the state or the mood

194
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,399
I'm in. Okay, but you're going to skip Sacramento. Why

Because you like Rick Flair Rick Flair Drip by the Migos. Really, yeah,

205
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,279
you don't think Ray Charles have been classier in a

206
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,720
a better way. I think it doesn't get any classier

207
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:18,120
than Rick Flair Drip. Yeah, Jonathan knows.

208
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: Some time.

209
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:21,159
Speaker 2: I think I might be Actually I was gonna say,

210
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,399
is that unk stuff because you're young?

211
00:10:22,759 --> 00:10:22,799
Speaker 4: No?

212
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 2: No, no, no, okay, good it is though kind of

213
00:10:25,399 --> 00:10:30,679
rights by the way fresh do at sports empty the

214
00:10:30,759 --> 00:10:32,879

00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:40,600
cuts getting cut? N telling me today's kids not reinventing

217
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,679
a verb for using a going together? Gotta be something else.

218
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:45,679
I don't know. It looks like I got a LinkedIn

219
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,240
photo shoot today or something. Man looking nice. I was

220
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:52,399
thinking about Matt this morning. I had this haircut and

221
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:54,039
there was so much breeze on my head. I don't

222
00:10:54,039 --> 00:10:56,200
know how he does it, no stuff or nothing.

223
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 3: I was like.

224
00:10:59,080 --> 00:10:59,919
Speaker 2: Being so serious too.

225
00:11:00,039 --> 00:11:02,159
Speaker 4: I was like, dude, we gotta get you a scar

226
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,360
from you to these northern O Can I see why

227
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:04,799
you get cold?

228
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 2: Man looking fresh? By the way I looked in the

229
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:11,360
mirror this morning, I don't do a lot of this

230
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,159
because I mean, why, oh, nobody is buying that. I'm

231
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:17,440
getting more gray in my beer than I arrived before.

232
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:22,200
It makes me sad. It's okay, I'm grayer than you are.

233
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,279
I know you are, but that's maybe because of your

234
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,600
family situation, right, I mean, what do you hows out

235
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,000
there much stress you had in your life to be

236
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,360
this great at your young age? All right, things I

237
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,600
never thought I would say. Are we, as a country

238
00:11:38,799 --> 00:11:42,279
sports fans sympathetic towards Bill Belichick? We'll discuss that next

239
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:49,080
ten to twelve on Sports Talk seven ninety ten eighteen

240
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:52,600
on Matt Thomas Show at Ross. I don't hear Rick

241
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:53,879
Fleury yet. Where's the drip?

242
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:59,919
Speaker 4: Go on the drill the jails?

243
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 2: He's in the music video? How old is this song?

244
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,679
I don't know, maybe eight years or something. I've interviewed

245
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,480
I don't think I've ever interviewed Rick on the radio.

246
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,519
I've met Rick before. I have a picture and old.

247
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,720
This is from twenty seventeen. Oh you're not getting old.

248
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,399
That was only nine years ago. Oh yeah, twenty nine.

249
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,480
It feels like it was two or three. I overrested

250
00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:25,080
that I was overestimating when I said seven. All right,

251
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,360
I wish you loved wrestling like I loved wrestling when

252
00:12:29,399 --> 00:12:32,200
I was a kid. Because every Saturday night on TBS

253
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,840
it was World Championship Wrestling with the NWA wrestlers. I

254
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,799
watched it a little, My god, it was so good.

255
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:43,360
The what they call promos meaning they go in then

256
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:45,519
of the microphone and they just yell and scream at

257
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:50,519
each other. It was just the promos. Actually, I was

258
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,720
good with like because when I was come and when

259
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,240
I was like a teenager, it was Prime Still and Cold,

260
00:12:56,279 --> 00:12:59,000
Steve Austin and The Rock, which I was a fan

261
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,039
of too. But I but I was getting a little older,

262
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,360
so I didn't have a chance to watch it. Like

263
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,399
when I was watching Rick Flair in the Four Horsemen

264
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,559
back in the eighties, it was I was religiously watching

265
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,320
every Saturday. I couldn't do that as a younger adult,

266
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,600
and I used to play the wrestling video game with

267
00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:15,000
my cousin Rico on the N sixty four. But I

268
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,799
didn't really get into why watched it. I'm like, it's

269
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,440
I'm sorry, go ahead, You've said it for years. It's

270
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,600
it's so forced and the acting is so bad. Well,

271
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,919
I mean, when I was thirteen, it didn't matter to me. Well,

272
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,159
it mattered to me, Matt, And now as an adult,

273
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,200
I listened to the podcast because these guys are now

274
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,120
in their sixties and seventies and they talk about the

275
00:13:37,159 --> 00:13:39,039
stuff they did when they were back when they were competing,

276
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,480
and it's yeah, very fast. Mostly steroids and cocaine. Well,

277
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,360
I mean, you're not completely wrong. A lot of steroids,

278
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,679
cocaine and baby oil and partying. Yeah, oh yeah. Seeing

279
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,159
who can drink the most beers? That Rick Flair thirty

280
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,799
for thirty was incredible. It wasn't like I respect. I

281
00:13:55,919 --> 00:13:57,919
respect the guys and what they put their bodies through.

282
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:03,519
I just didn't find it entertaining. Yeah, I just did.

283
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,039
I just I found it fascinating. I believed it not

284
00:14:07,159 --> 00:14:09,279
until I got until I was later adult realizing it

285
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,679
was fake. But as a kid, I didn't. I didn't.

286
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,960
I knew. I didn't think it was fake. I nobody knew.

287
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:17,399
Nobody ever talked to me about it being fake. So

288
00:14:17,879 --> 00:14:19,919
all right, you know, I grew up. Maybe it was

289
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200
the Internet age. That's all we did talk about, right,

290
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,039
I fink it was. That's right, that's it's different time

291
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,679
as it was. It was, all right. So yesterday they

292
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,600
have a committee where you can vote people into the

293
00:14:31,639 --> 00:14:34,200
Pro Football Hall of Fame, and I guess it takes

294
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:37,200
what forty one or forty to get in. I don't know.

295
00:14:37,399 --> 00:14:39,559
There's so many different committees and subcommittee. He had a

296
00:14:39,559 --> 00:14:41,799
fifty votes. I believe forty out of fifty, and Bill

297
00:14:41,879 --> 00:14:46,039
Belichick was up for enshrinment into the Pro Football Hall

298
00:14:46,039 --> 00:14:49,120
of Fame and he did not get in, not getting

299
00:14:49,159 --> 00:14:54,919
the prerequist at fifty votes. Now there is somebody by

300
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,360
the name of Bill Paulding and a former Patriot, I

301
00:14:57,399 --> 00:15:02,360
mean a former Indianapolis cult executive, a former Buffalo Bill's executive,

302
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,679
and by the way, a large longtime rival of the

303
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:09,360
New England Patriots that apparently Bill Pollian has been accused

304
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,320
of leading the brigade through the back channels of saying, hey,

305
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,240
Bill Belichick is a Hall of Fame coach, but we

306
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:21,200
need to punish him for Spygate. And the easiest way

307
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,879
to punish him, to make an everlasting ending to the

308
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,759
Bill Belichick pro football coaching career is to make him

309
00:15:29,759 --> 00:15:31,799
sit away at before you get wait a year before

310
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:33,080
he gets in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

311
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:33,559
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

312
00:15:33,799 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: Then you have on top of that, you've got some

313
00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,360
crusty media who don't like the way that Bill Belichick

314
00:15:39,399 --> 00:15:41,200
treated him for all those years as a member of

315
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:42,519
the meeting that like, you know what, we're going to

316
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:48,039
get you back too. So I'd like to say Rossie

317
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360
I'm completely surprised that he didn't get in on the

318
00:15:50,399 --> 00:15:55,320
first time, but I'm not totally surprised. When I first

319
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,639
heard about it, I was shocked, But then the context

320
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,080
you just provided I and I said, ah, it makes sense.

321
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,759
And honestly, I'm gonna have an unpopular opinion. I don't

322
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:13,159
have a big problem with it. Damn it. Oh no,

323
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:21,159
write it down. Ross agree, here's the reality. Know if

324
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,279
ANNs or Butts, Bill Belichick should be in the Pro

325
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,240
Football Hall of Fame. Agreeable? Okay, agreed? So eight when

326
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:32,519
his account coordinators as a coordinator, so his resume is

327
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,039
not going to change. Nope. We do this every time

328
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,840
with Baseball Hall of famers. Either you're good enough to

329
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:41,080
get in or or you don't get in. Yeah, and

330
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,159
this could very well be impactful to the Astros down

331
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,559
the road. I mean, Jose Ol two bag guilty by association.

332
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,080
You could find himself in this exact same situation. Well,

333
00:16:49,159 --> 00:16:57,120
mastermind Carl's Beltran is in. So hopefully we're fine. I'm

334
00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:00,919
I'm I'm just not shocked. Now, would I do it?

335
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:01,759
Speaker 1: No?

336
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: But I know who the types of people are that

337
00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:10,960
have these votes. They're crusty, they're old, they're holier than thou.

338
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:18,039
They're holding grudges, holding grudges. And I don't think under

339
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,160
any circumstance that Bill Belichick did this for a prolonged

340
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:28,519
period of time. But there was one season in which

341
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:34,000
he didn't try to steal the defensive signals for the

342
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:39,400
New York Chants. That was a concerted effort to try

343
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:50,759
to anticipate what the other team was calling. So he's

344
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:55,000
gonna get in next year. But you add the Spygate,

345
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,039
you add the fact that he was as cantankerous and

346
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,160
as unapproachable and frankly rude to people that have the

347
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,160
votes in their hand. Got I'm gonna and maybe I'm

348
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,359
cop I have a cop out on this, but I'm

349
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,960
not totally surprised by this. I'm not totally surprised, and

350
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,400
I'm fine with it if these people within the NFL fraternity,

351
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,440
because Spygate was a major scandal that we kind of

352
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,799
just sweep against under the rug because they continued to

353
00:18:19,839 --> 00:18:23,000
win afterwards. There was there was a long period after

354
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,319
those uh, those Patriots didn't win at all, the twenty

355
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,640
seventeen undefeated Patriots, where it took him several years to

356
00:18:30,759 --> 00:18:33,759
get back into the Super Bowl and win one. If

357
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:36,920
people forget like narratives around that time, where where Bill

358
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Belichick and Tom Brady ever went again? Or was this

359
00:18:39,079 --> 00:18:40,079
only because of Spygate?

360
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:40,279
Speaker 3: Right?

361
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: They needed to flake gate? Shortly after that, the flate

362
00:18:43,519 --> 00:18:46,720
gate happened as well. I mean, how long was he

363
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,680
cheating and doing these things before getting caught? We really

364
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,559
don't We never know the length of time, and we

365
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,119
don't know. There was no there was no report, there

366
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,480
was no investigation, I mean except for the fact that

367
00:18:56,519 --> 00:18:59,599
they did catch him. Yeah, and they and they gave

368
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:02,559
a check of fine. So if you want to keep

369
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,599
him out for a year because of a major scandal,

370
00:19:06,839 --> 00:19:10,519
I'm okay with it. But here's why I'm a conundrum

371
00:19:10,519 --> 00:19:12,480
on this, gang And maybe y'all can help us out

372
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:14,000
here on the show with calling it if you'd like.

373
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,640
Everybody on social media is losing their minds over this, yes,

374
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,799
and so I'm trying to think maybe I'm in the

375
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:24,000
wrong on this. Well, See, this is the thing, because

376
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:26,880
I was. I wasn't outraged, but I was shocked when

377
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,519
I first read it because I couldn't wrap my that

378
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,279
was gonna be like and I just don't get it.

379
00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

380
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,559
Speaker 2: But then, like like you said, I read, Oh, it's

381
00:19:33,559 --> 00:19:38,279
like a light bulb went on. Oh, spygate. That makes

382
00:19:38,319 --> 00:19:43,160
sense because here's the thing. I as a diehard of

383
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,119
an Astro fan as I am, I'm still in horror

384
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,119
over what the Astros did in twenty seventeen. But I'm

385
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,440
also and I guess I'm trying not to say, well,

386
00:19:54,559 --> 00:19:56,559
it's what's your team, You've got different roles. I don't

387
00:19:56,559 --> 00:19:59,480
want to be that I'm saying the Astros cheated, but

388
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:01,559
I I'm also saying that a lot of other teams

389
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,720
got cheated too, and that the Astros had had somebody

390
00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:08,440
inside the in the room, they had a mole, they

391
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,000
had somebody that was that was squirming. So other teams

392
00:20:11,079 --> 00:20:12,680
were doing it. Doesn't make it right, but other teams

393
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,039
are doing it. The Asters just had to be the

394
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:17,039
first ones to get caught. And then secondly, it was

395
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,160
only a handful of people, and it wasn't the manager

396
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,079
trying to create this. It was two or three guys

397
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,680
or four, we wouldn't know the exact number, but there

398
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,160
were not everybody that was a participant in the twenty

399
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,279
seventeen Astros was partaking in this hoseelity it being the

400
00:20:30,319 --> 00:20:32,200
number one, and he's been obviously the guy has been

401
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,319
feeling it more. But when you have a coach who

402
00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:40,400
orchestrates a plan to try to steal the signals of

403
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,200
another team, that if you are a team and you

404
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:47,039
know what's coming, that's going to be eighty percent of

405
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,119
the battle in the NFL that you set your defense

406
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,200
that way, you set your offense that way, you know

407
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,680
where the pass is being thrown, you know where the

408
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,359
play call is. That is strict. That's stealing, and that's

409
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,480
intelligence stealing. It's what that is that that is integral

410
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,400
to the plays of an NFL game is a what

411
00:21:05,599 --> 00:21:08,039
is the defense call? What is the play call on offense?

412
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,519
That's pretty damn serious. So again, maybe somebody needs to

413
00:21:13,559 --> 00:21:15,319
walk me through this because again he is a Hall

414
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,799
of Fame coach. He will get in next year. M

415
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,240
But I'm trying to go, man, what's wrong with me?

416
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,519
Because I'm thinking, you know what, you did do something

417
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,960
very serious. You're not gonna not get in. You are

418
00:21:28,039 --> 00:21:30,240
not considered the great, you are still considered the greatest

419
00:21:30,279 --> 00:21:32,359
coach of all time. But you got a blemish on there,

420
00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:34,559
and sometimes you got to pay a year. I mean

421
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:37,200
this one situation where he wasn't getting in at all,

422
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,720
then I would have a much bigger problem with this.

423
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,359
But he's gonna get in next year because he has

424
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,200
become a sympathetic figure in twenty twenty six. And I

425
00:21:46,279 --> 00:21:48,359
don't know how in the world that Bill Belichick could

426
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,039
ever be sympathetic to anybody, but he is. You got

427
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,960
everybody in their mother tweeting about this. Yeah, Lebron James

428
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:59,160
tweeting about this. Really, Yes, that's funny. Well, he's not

429
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,039
gonna get in. He's to pay his penance and he's

430
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,920
gonna get in. And in ten years we're not even

431
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,319
gonna talk about this. That's another thing too, like this

432
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:10,160
is just a one year Yeah, it's it's honestly, it's

433
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,079
a slap on the wrist. But I mean the outrage, oh,

434
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,839
Bill Bill polling doesn't do himself any favors because he

435
00:22:16,839 --> 00:22:18,960
to see, as he said yesterday or the last twenty

436
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,880
four hours, he doesn't remember it not voting for Bill Belichick. Yeah,

437
00:22:23,039 --> 00:22:24,880
which was which is that's a lie to.

438
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:26,599
Speaker 3: It.

439
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: I was just like, you know what, I don't remember

440
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,000
who I voted for for the Hall of Fame. If

441
00:22:33,039 --> 00:22:38,400
you're allowing media to determine this. This is not right,

442
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:41,119
but it's just the way things have gone in all sports.

443
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,440
If you're an a hole in the media and they

444
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,200
get to hold a Trump card in front of you,

445
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,599
like President Trump a trump card in general, they may

446
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,039
use it sometimes, and I think you add spygate, and

447
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:59,000
you add media frankly rudeness. Combo says, you probably said

448
00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:03,039
not a year, and so he will also. I believe

449
00:23:03,039 --> 00:23:05,200
it's a situation where there was you could only vote

450
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,119
for There was like five guys who were up for it,

451
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,759
and you can only vote for three, kind of like

452
00:23:09,799 --> 00:23:12,160
in Major League Baseball, which is ridiculous too. I mean,

453
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,480
you know, if a guy's eligible, you shouldn't have a

454
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,440
minimum maximum a lot in there. But that's a different issue.

455
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,839
So I'll just say again, I don't know how much

456
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,079
this resonates for Houston sports fans listening to our show

457
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,400
right now, especially ten o'clockers, But tell me, I mean,

458
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,480
if I'm wrong, please explain it to me, because it's

459
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,480
he's going to get in next year. He's going to

460
00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:37,559
get in next year. But you're telling me that ten

461
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,799
a holes out there that have votes aren't going to

462
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,839
use this as a as a grudge. I'm not surprised.

463
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,839
Seven one three two one two five seven ninety if

464
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,839

00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,720
if Ema donka join us sitting at one thirty this afternoon,

469
00:23:59,759 --> 00:24:01,839
so look forward to having him on the show today.

470
00:24:02,039 --> 00:24:04,400
We have shut your bumbass up in one hour from now, ROSSI,

471
00:24:04,559 --> 00:24:09,519
and we have some economic turmoil with a big ten school.

472
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,519
Have you seen the numbers coming out of Rutgers University?

473
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,079
Not necessarily a uh No, I didn't audit Rutgers this year.

474
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,319
Well somebody did and it ain't pretty. We'll tell you

475
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,359
more about that as a morning progress's seven one three

476
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,319
two one two five seven any other We we have

477
00:24:24,599 --> 00:24:28,039
two bits of breaking news, one on the local level

478
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,799
and one on the national level. It is a Matt

479
00:24:32,839 --> 00:24:35,160
Thomas shold Ross seven to one three two one two

480
00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:42,200
five seven. Honey, hit the sounder please, that's one. That's

481
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:48,680
what we'll stay with. Okay. The Texans, actually, Demiko Ryans

482
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,160
has fired a coach Demiko Ryans has fired a coach.

483
00:24:54,240 --> 00:25:00,559
Jamiko Ryans has fired a coach. Uh, offensive line coach Popovich?

484
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,759
You know he is here? Okay, I don't know. According

485
00:25:05,799 --> 00:25:09,079
to Jonathan m Alexander the Houston Chronicle, the Texans have

486
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,079
fired tight Ends coach Jake Morland. Uh, it'd be I'd

487
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:14,720
have been two or three if you'd have said if

488
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,319
it was Nick Cayley, so I knew it wasn't him.

489
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,640
If you would have said Matt the Texans fired Jake Morland,

490
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,440
my first reprise would have been, who is Jake Morland? Okay?

491
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,480
I would have thought of maybe a trainer water boy.

492
00:25:25,759 --> 00:25:28,279
Let's cousin discuss. Who wants to get down on this,

493
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:29,400
Jake Morland?

494
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:29,759
Speaker 1: Let's go?

495
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,759
Speaker 2: How did the Texans fired Jake Morland? Seven one three, two,

496
00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:37,200
two five seven ninety coffee kicked in?

497
00:25:37,279 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: Sorry?

498
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: Are you okay? I'm fine? You want to you don't

499
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,240
want to cuss and discuss this? Why they fired Jake Moreland?

500
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:45,759
What are you doing wrong? Dallas? What done? Dallas? What's

501
00:25:45,799 --> 00:25:46,119
his name?

502
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 3: Uh?

503
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 2: Tight End? Dalton, Dalton Schultz. I was going Dallas Schultz,

504
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,759
Dalton Schult's been great, incredible and maybe they're unhappy with

505
00:25:54,839 --> 00:25:58,640
the development of cade Stover Brevin Jordan, Well, I got hurt.

506
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,759
That's not Jake a That a guy named Jake Moreland. Yeah, sure,

507
00:26:02,799 --> 00:26:05,079
why not? We should call Jake Morland. You wanna call him,

508
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:06,519
you wanna get some dirt. You know we had to do.

509
00:26:06,559 --> 00:26:07,759
We had to try to getim on Facebook. We're not

510
00:26:07,799 --> 00:26:10,119
gonna burn any bridge. You're gonna talk to him on Facebook?

511
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:10,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

512
00:26:10,599 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 2: Why not about politics? No, that's what you talk about

513
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,799
on Facebook. I don't talk politics on Facebook. Hey, man,

514
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:21,640
we don't know each other. But sorry, man, losing your job,

515
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:24,119
you were robbed. Call him the show and give us

516
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,519
some more dirt. Okay, Well you are the Texans insider.

517
00:26:27,559 --> 00:26:31,720
You don't already have contact info? All right? Maybe I do? Oh,

518
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:38,599
here we go. So look, we are not involved in

519
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,799
the inner workings of the Texans organization. But that was

520
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,920
that was not on my Bingo car, the Jake Morland firing. Again,

521
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,920
I didn't have Jake Moreland on my Bengo car when

522
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,119
I woke up this morning. No, I didn't know he exists.

523
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,680
I mean, I guess I knew that coach. I didn't

524
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,640
know what his name was. His Titan could have been

525
00:26:54,799 --> 00:26:57,079
Stanley Gebloski and it would have been fine. You know, yeah,

526
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:00,799
I'm wishing he and Stanley the best on your endeavors.

527
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,640
Maybe's assistant time. Maybe My guess is there's a philosophical difference.

528
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:07,799
Clearly who knows with what tight end, block and run

529
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:10,880
your routes? Yeah? Hey, by the way, uh, your position

530
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,960
group has the number two receiver on the team. Go,

531
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,599
Dalton Schultz has been good second half of the season.

532
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:18,640
Maybe Dalton Schultz didn't like him. Oh really, dal't's call

533
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,160
him the shots, so get his ass out of here.

534
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,680
You don't think Josh Allen had an intimate role in

535
00:27:23,759 --> 00:27:27,400
deciding that Joe Brady made coach of the Buffalo Bills. Stop. Well,

536
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,920
he shouldn't have had a big say no one, he

537
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,440
had a huge number two. Dalton Schultz had had very

538
00:27:32,519 --> 00:27:35,480
little to any say any firing or hiring of coach.

539
00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:40,440
No no, Dalton, I got the inside nose. Dalton Schultz

540
00:27:40,519 --> 00:27:45,240
goes in the room, Yes, slammed the door and says,

541
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:49,960
I I want Jake Moreland out as my physician. Morland

542
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,839
out of here. Yeah, just like when JJ Watt went

543
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,119
and said get Bill Bill O'Brien the hell out of Houston.

544
00:27:56,519 --> 00:28:00,319
There was a player revolt there. Insider had it wait

545
00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:06,240
for everybody else? Okay, man, all right, now that that's

546
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:08,599
not going to carry the show, would you like the

547
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:13,279
national bit of news headlines? Yes, the Milwaukee Bucks are

548
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:24,079
now officially entertaining offers to trade Giannis Atentakupo out of Milwaukee. Hm.

549
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 3: Hm.

550
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: Where is he gonna end up? I've said this over

551
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:35,119
and over again. Yes, I think he goes east. Okay,

552
00:28:35,559 --> 00:28:45,279
if he goes west, it could be San Antonio or

553
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,759
Golden State. But I really believe at the end the

554
00:28:48,839 --> 00:28:51,920
day he's going east. Golden State for the for the

555
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,759
reboot makes sense Santonio, because you've got a lot of

556
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:01,720
trade chips, a lot of assets. Can we can we

557
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,599
just keep him out of the West. There needs to

558
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,119
be some kind of embargo set up. How do you

559
00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:09,440
how's that going to work? I want you to explain.

560
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,759
Whimby ended up in the west. Lebron got traded to

561
00:29:12,799 --> 00:29:18,720
the west. Luka Doncic got traded from west to west? No, No,

562
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:21,680
why don't he go to like the Charlotte That Why

563
00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:24,000
can't anybody go to the east? You know why? You

564
00:29:24,039 --> 00:29:26,000
know what? Why can't he go to the Orlando Magic,

565
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,359
because think about this, if you're a team in the East,

566
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,440
you make this move, you skyrocket, And if you're a contender,

567
00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:36,799
you go from contender to dominant leader in the clubhouse.

568
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,000
You're your point right there. Just just made me think

569
00:29:39,039 --> 00:29:41,519
that he's going to stay in the East. Somebody's going

570
00:29:41,559 --> 00:29:43,519
to overpay the East. That's my gut feeling right now

571
00:29:43,559 --> 00:29:48,440
that he just formulated. Okay, I'll accept that, because, as

572
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:50,960
you said, the East, it's not wide open. I mean,

573
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,079
the Pistons are looking really good. But if the number

574
00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:56,119
two team is the Celtics with Jason Tatum out with

575
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,920
a torn achilles, don't forget about the Nicks. They've always

576
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,240
been rumored to have him. I mean they're good. Yeah,

577
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:06,799
with the honest they would be incredible. The number two

578
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,319
seeded Celtics would be the number five seed in the West. No,

579
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,319
you know what we do this every year. I know, Gosh,

580
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,519
the West is so tough. Keep him out of the West.

581
00:30:18,359 --> 00:30:22,240
You think Darryl Morriy can make a move, Yes, yeah,

582
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:26,079
they have very a really great asset for us as

583
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:31,400
a defensive player and scoring thirty points per game. I

584
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,799
think Daryl can do it? Would you trade VJ. Edgecumb

585
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:39,440
for him? Ooh? Probably a top three Rookie of the

586
00:30:39,519 --> 00:30:41,039
Year candidate the year candidate.

587
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

588
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:46,319
Speaker 2: No, Daryl likes star hunting. He've we've seen that firsthand

589
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:51,279
many years in Houston and Philadelphia is in the playoffs,

590
00:30:51,319 --> 00:30:53,480
but they'd be a low six, seven, eight somewhere that

591
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,519
range that bumps them up high. The question is that

592
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,759
if he goes anywhere, does that team need some sort

593
00:31:01,759 --> 00:31:03,359
of assurance in a couple of years when you have

594
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,960
it becomes a free agent that he's going to stay

595
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,799
in that city or does it really even matter depending

596
00:31:06,839 --> 00:31:08,160
on what you what you have to give up and

597
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,359
return to get him, it's going to cost a haul.

598
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,839
I mean, how many first round picks? Was Desmond Bane?

599
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,880
I believe that Orlando doesn't have a first round pick

600
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,440
until I have grandchildren. Well, that could happen anytime, that's true.

601
00:31:23,559 --> 00:31:30,880
A male rephrase twenty fifty one, Oh Grandpa, Thomas, I

602
00:31:31,039 --> 00:31:33,160
like that. Oh god, no, let's let's relax on that

603
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,200
a little bit. You brought it up, I know I did. Yeah,

604
00:31:36,359 --> 00:31:43,119
four Desmond Bane to the magic four first round picks

605
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:50,039
and Contavious Carwell of Pope and Cole Anthony Caseyp's just

606
00:31:50,079 --> 00:31:55,319
a throwing though. Four first round picks for Desmond Bane.

607
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:57,960
What's the maximum amount of a first round picks?

608
00:31:58,160 --> 00:31:58,319
Speaker 1: Is there?

609
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,119
Speaker 2: This's got to be a max. Well, I believe you

610
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,480
cannot do him over consecutive years. There's gotta be a

611
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:04,279
little bit gap in between. I think something like that.

612
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:12,480
How do you want to track this? This is Giannis,

613
00:32:12,559 --> 00:32:15,720
This is a in This term is used way too much,

614
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,200
but it is a general. He's a generational player. He

615
00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:22,519
is I mean, he's he's two time MVP. How many

616
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,200
there's probably like ten two time MVPs and NBA history,

617
00:32:25,279 --> 00:32:28,319
So I go look it up. Seven years. You cannot

618
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,480
trade a first round pick more than seven years into

619
00:32:30,519 --> 00:32:34,079
the future. But then you can do it consecutively if

620
00:32:34,079 --> 00:32:38,279
you can circumvent this via swaps and protections or by

621
00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:44,920
acquiring extra picks. Okay, just for my own mental health, Rossie,

622
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,720
let's keep him in the Eastern Conference. That's all I

623
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:49,599
would have to say. Please. Ten the West is ridiculous.

624
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,920
Yeah yeah, yeah, but again, san Antonio could do it.

625
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,720
San Antonio has picks and they have players. Actually the

626
00:33:00,839 --> 00:33:04,839
Rockets have picks, but they also have high. I just don't.

627
00:33:05,079 --> 00:33:08,720
There's too many protectables. Fifteen players ever in the history

628
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:13,599
of the NBA have won multiple MVPs. Yannis is one

629
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,839
of them. But it doesn't bother that Jannis can't shoot

630
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,680
free throws. I guess it didn't bother when Shaq was playing.

631
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 3: I get it. It doesn't.

632
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean, it bothers me, but it doesn't bother me

633
00:33:22,759 --> 00:33:26,559
enough to say, can't get that guy who's top three

634
00:33:26,599 --> 00:33:28,599
in the Defensive Player of the Year every year dropping

635
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,920
thirty shooting from three point range this year probably twenty

636
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,960
three percent or so. He's also taking a lot fewer.

637
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,119
I was surprised. How a few three point shots? I

638
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,599
mean he's given that up as part of his game. Yeah,

639
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,880
he's also hurt right now, right, I don't know. I

640
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,000
think he's hurt. I think John moran'st We knew this

641
00:33:44,119 --> 00:33:46,279
was coming when he bowed his own fans, right, didn't

642
00:33:46,279 --> 00:33:46,799
we predict this?

643
00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:47,279
Speaker 3: Yeah?

644
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,359
Speaker 2: When you give your when you do a big boo

645
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,720
and two tombs down to your own fans, be here

646
00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:56,799
on your way mill walk, You sucked. What did you say, Yannis?

647
00:33:57,519 --> 00:33:58,000
You heard me?

648
00:33:58,960 --> 00:33:59,079
Speaker 3: Uh?

649
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 2: He is shooting thirty nine and a half percent from

650
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:06,160
three this year, but he's only taking one point three.

651
00:34:06,279 --> 00:34:08,519
I was gonna say that percent that's a good percentage,

652
00:34:08,559 --> 00:34:11,119
but it's just not career twenty eight point six. It's

653
00:34:11,159 --> 00:34:13,440
his free throw percentage of fifty five point eight this year,

654
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,960
career sixty nine. He is a wonderful He's the best

655
00:34:19,079 --> 00:34:22,159
downhill player I've seen the NBA in the last fifteen years.

656
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:25,119
But boy, you get him the free throw line and

657
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:26,280
you got to punch his chance.

658
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:26,679
Speaker 3: You just do.

659
00:34:27,599 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: He's been All NBA First Team seven years in a row.

660
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,000
How old is he seven years in a row? He's

661
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:37,440
thirty one or thirty thirty one? You just turned thirty one.

662
00:34:37,519 --> 00:34:39,559
He's got a last remember, probably three or four years

663
00:34:39,599 --> 00:34:46,559
of prime Jhanna's left in him. Probably now. He hadn't

664
00:34:46,559 --> 00:34:50,320
played over He's only played seventy games more than seventy

665
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,679
games once in the last seven years. But you know what,

666
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,519
you're not worried about that. You're worried about him playing

667
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:59,480
sixty regular season games and playing twenty playoff games. If

668
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,880
you're going to get him, you're going, you know, arrest

669
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:03,960
and make sure he gets he's prepared for a long

670
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,039
April Megan June stretch his MVP finishes the last seven

671
00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:14,840
years one one, four, three, three, four to three. He's

672
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,159
the Big City Wings of the NBA. Oh on MVP.

673
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,079
I see where you're going with this. Thank you very much.

674
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:27,639
More breaking news on the Matt Thomas showing Ross.

675
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:29,679
Speaker 4: This is it.

676
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's hiring Todd Monkin as their head coach. You're like,

677
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,840
who the hell's Todd Monkin? He was Leo Todd Monkin.

678
00:35:38,119 --> 00:35:42,719
He was the Ravens offensive coordinator. Oh, your favorite team

679
00:35:43,079 --> 00:35:48,119
m losing its key offensive coach. He was already gone.

680
00:35:48,159 --> 00:35:50,280
He was supposed to be on John Harball's staff with

681
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,719
the Giants. Yeah, and now John Harball has got to

682
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,079
be looking for an OC. And if I'm Todd Monkin,

683
00:35:57,159 --> 00:36:01,119
I probably would just rent in Cleveland. He's gonna be

684
00:36:01,199 --> 00:36:04,119
sixty years old or no, I guess he's fifty nine now.

685
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,800
Never been a head coach anywhere I can recall. So

686
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:13,000
it's like the David Kelly at Cleveland. It seemed like everybody.

687
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,280
I don't know what the Cleveland Browns are doing there,

688
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:23,320
but it seemed like they were scaring everyone off. Yeah,

689
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:27,559
they have a GM who what is very into analytics

690
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,119
and as you know, Matt. Sometimes analytics nerds aren't really

691
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:34,920
good on the personal side. Oh you think so apparently.

692
00:36:35,679 --> 00:36:37,800
I mean the reports had been like that, Mike mcdannel

693
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:39,719
with Drew. There were some other guys that Withdrew because

694
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,960
they were making them fill out some kind of questionnaire

695
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:44,760
like like, I've never done this before. What are you

696
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,840
asking me for? Yeah, like, hey, I've been coaching for

697
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,119
thirty years. I don't need to fill out your little questionnaire.

698
00:36:50,119 --> 00:36:55,519
Andrew Barry, Oh, I do believe that, just like anything,

699
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:57,920
you can if if you are one of those I'm

700
00:36:58,039 --> 00:37:02,519
seeing eye guys, you're gonna behind the curve. But I

701
00:37:02,559 --> 00:37:05,519
think if you are super analytical, you're also going to

702
00:37:05,599 --> 00:37:07,280
not have a feel for a franchise. I think part

703
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,320
of that's why Daryl Morey's not had the run is

704
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,320
because he has been so analytically driven with everything, and

705
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,440
I don't think if that's not necessarily reading the room.

706
00:37:17,079 --> 00:37:21,400
But analytics cannot give you chemistry cannot give you the

707
00:37:21,519 --> 00:37:24,920
vibe of what a locker room or a culture is like.

708
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:27,400
And I think the best coaches in the world can

709
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,360
mix them both. I am no longer the belief that

710
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,559
the seeing eye guy knows it all. Yeah, And I've

711
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:36,199
never been a belief of well analytics guys never lied,

712
00:37:36,519 --> 00:37:38,920
that's true. So you have toun of good mix of

713
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,920
course and anything. But I think also in football, just

714
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,320
because of the nature of the sport how violence, I

715
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:48,679
mean violent and testosterone fueled. And I mean if I say,

716
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,920
if I say which major American sport has the most

717
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,079
meat heads on the team, we're going football. Yeah, So

718
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,239
there you got to get You got to motivate the

719
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,480
guys properly. You have to lay things out or you're

720
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,880
not gonna have a I mean, not a lot of

721
00:38:02,039 --> 00:38:05,800
Rhodes scholars. So let me take the line. I don't

722
00:38:06,039 --> 00:38:10,039
know how analytics is used in football as much as

723
00:38:10,039 --> 00:38:12,400
I think I know what it is in baseball. In basketball,

724
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,480
for instance, in basketball, I can give you how a

725
00:38:16,599 --> 00:38:19,000
player is reacting after he's played a certain number of minutes.

726
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:21,239
I can watch his steps, I can take a look

727
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,119
at where he's taking his shot selection. I can tell

728
00:38:24,159 --> 00:38:26,239
at certain points of the game where he's more efficient

729
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,599
than he is at other parts of the game. In baseball,

730
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,039
analytics is so cruel, crucial to telling you where the

731
00:38:33,119 --> 00:38:35,039
ball is going to be hit next, or the percentages

732
00:38:35,119 --> 00:38:40,920
of placing your infielders, placing your outfielders situational for individual players. Football,

733
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,760
to me, I'm sure has it, because every team does

734
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,000
have an analytical department, But I would think of the

735
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:49,960
three major sports that to me, analytics would be not

736
00:38:50,199 --> 00:38:51,920
nearly as important in FOOTBA as it is either too.

737
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:53,400
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm just throwing that out. I

738
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,079
think it's definitely, of course a decision making as far

739
00:38:58,159 --> 00:39:00,800
as fourth down decision making and and kick and that

740
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,960
type of stuff. As you said, player performance tracking players,

741
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,039
they're they're seeing when guys are getting tired and all

742
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:10,639
that stuff, and seeing, uh, you know, who needs to

743
00:39:10,679 --> 00:39:13,159
come out for a couple of snaps or whatever. Sorry,

744
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:16,039
As far as workloads, but after that, yeah, I don't

745
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:18,360
know either. I don't know how much is Nick Kayley

746
00:39:18,639 --> 00:39:21,519
using or even any play caller Andy Reid when he's

747
00:39:21,639 --> 00:39:24,840
drawing up plays, what is he using. I mean, we

748
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,760
have basic analytics that if you run on uh you know,

749
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,840
if if you run on first down, you'd play action

750
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:33,159
success rate and that type of stuff, So I guess

751
00:39:33,199 --> 00:39:35,719
that does kind of factor in, yeah, roll for but

752
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,880
I just yards per play, average yards pretend all that

753
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:42,440
other stuff like adjusted yards per attempt. There's a lot

754
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:44,920
of analytics in football. I think if you're a coach,

755
00:39:45,039 --> 00:39:47,559
if you don't use it and it's not provided to you,

756
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,639
you're doing yourself at disservice. But I think sometimes the

757
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,920
analytical nerds, and I'm sorry that that's a term. It's

758
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,000
put together in the same year, calling people nerds, and

759
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,440
it's fun't there should be analytics, experts nerds. Why have

760
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:03,639
to be nerds because they generally are They're not. They're

761
00:40:03,639 --> 00:40:06,199
not They're not the midders at a party. They're what

762
00:40:07,159 --> 00:40:11,440
they're nerds, But that's what they're. Analytic nerds. Analytic nerds

763
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:17,960
are running every major organization Baseball, most analytical nerds they

764
00:40:18,039 --> 00:40:21,880
won six games in the last three years. Well, they

765
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,119
have a lot of injuries. Matt, oh, that it is, okay?

766
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,800
How about this analytics? Is this city sucks? They swung

767
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,880
for the analytics, probably said sign him and trade for

768
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,800
three first round draft picks. I don't know. I'm not

769
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,840
as anti analytics as I may sound like. I'm just

770
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,119
saying you are. No, no, no, that's not fair. You

771
00:40:40,199 --> 00:40:43,039
have to call them nerds, okay, and dorks. Remember Pro

772
00:40:43,119 --> 00:40:47,920
Football Focus experts full of analytics. Yeah, what's your problem?

773
00:40:49,519 --> 00:40:52,719
There's exceptions every rule ross there just is. Yeah, they

774
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,360
call the office the Chicken ranch. They do not call

775
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,480
it that. They're not having toga parties on the teams

776
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,920
in the road, like I know the rock, it's analytic department.

777
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,639
They're not having a they're not busting kegs while we're

778
00:41:03,639 --> 00:41:08,039
out of town tonight. They're not playing They're not bringing

779
00:41:08,039 --> 00:41:10,159
a bunch of hot girls over the practice facility and

780
00:41:10,199 --> 00:41:11,880
playing pick up basketball a three o'clock in the morning

781
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,880
when we're flying to Atlanta. Why not? I mean, I

782
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,639
guess they could. Yeah, that makes me pretty crazy, wouldn't it. Hey,

783
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,320
the teams out of town, let's bring let's bring the

784
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:25,159
girls over and analytic guys like what it expert? What

785
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:25,800
is a girl?

786
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:27,760
Speaker 3: All right?

787
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 2: Second hour of the show coming up in about matter moments. Hey,

788
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:34,519
we've got some news that probably isn't great if you're

789
00:41:34,559 --> 00:41:36,920
a fan of Rutgers University and I don't know what

790
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:38,480
to do with it, except I'm not a big fan.

791
00:41:39,039 --> 00:41:41,920
So you're saying Tony Soprano wouldn't be very happy? Is

792
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:46,800
he the most famous person attached to most fictional character? Yes,

793
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:48,800
just like Rocky was a Philadelphia Sure? Why not?

794
00:41:49,039 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 1: All right?

795
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 3: Uh?

796
00:41:50,039 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 2: Shut your boy? Mess up? Is coming up at a

797
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,599
half an hour, Emeadoka at one thirty plus Ross believe

798
00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:56,280
it or not? Today at one fifty, what is the

799
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,920
today's topic?

800
00:41:57,159 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 3: I don't know?

801
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 2: Todd Munkin, Sure, why not? That doesn't sound particularly entertaining.

802
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:03,559
It's monk and time. Do you understand? People that call

803
00:42:03,679 --> 00:42:05,760
and play the game want to be entertained by the questions?

804
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,519
So you think when he enters a room he says

805
00:42:07,519 --> 00:42:12,039
it's monk and time. I don't believe he does.

806
00:42:12,159 --> 00:42:12,199
Speaker 3: No.

807
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,079
Speaker 2: I think he's fifty nine years oldgoing, who are these

808
00:42:14,119 --> 00:42:16,159
analytic nerds in this room with me? I guess I'll

809
00:42:16,199 --> 00:42:17,719
have to listen to it. He's getting along with him?

810
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,480
Sign that contract. Let's talk to folks about sixty years old?

811
00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:25,760
How's his energy? He's The mac Thomas Show with Ross.

812
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:33,480
I gotta pull question up on the official Twitter account

813
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,519
of The bat Thomas Show with Ross. I say, it's

814
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:37,800
my account, it's not Ross's. It's at Sports empty.

815
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 3: That's fine.

816
00:42:39,679 --> 00:42:42,639
Speaker 2: The question is are you mad Belichick is getting snubbed

817
00:42:42,679 --> 00:42:46,480
this year? Three options are yes, he deserves to wait

818
00:42:46,559 --> 00:42:49,920
one year or I don't really care, and the votes

819
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:52,400
are at fifty four percent, I don't really care. Wow,

820
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,960
Because again it's if we were in Boston, it would

821
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:02,400
be topic number one for days and days and days. Yeah. Frankly,

822
00:43:02,599 --> 00:43:04,239
our Aunien is probably curious some more about the twenty

823
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,800
five year old husband Doug in Dorchester, Dorchester mask Doug,

824
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:10,679
what do you think about this Belichick thing?

825
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:10,880
Speaker 3: Now?

826
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:12,639
Speaker 2: I could be spending quite a bit of time up

827
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:15,280
there in the next four years. Am I gonna come

828
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:18,679
back with an accent? I don't think so. That'd be funny.

829
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,480
I don't know how. I remember when you first started here, Matt.

830
00:43:23,519 --> 00:43:26,239
Now we're talking like you know, that is not even true?

831
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,719
That is that is not Oh. I love the Houston Oilers.

832
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,000
It's really pretty good. I don't think people are catching

833
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,679
on what you're talking about, but I'm gonna give you

834
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,159
credit for that. Sometimes I just try to entertain myself

835
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,440
or you. Well, you're Jonathan Jonathan' out there today. He's

836
00:43:43,599 --> 00:43:46,760
chilling now he keeps taking selfies with this new dude. Man,

837
00:43:47,119 --> 00:43:49,159
I've been taking selfies all show. Are you working on

838
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,119
your snapchat over there? What's that going on over there?

839
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,400
See those who don't know. We can't directly see Jonathan.

840
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,039
We only see him through a television, through a camera. Froze,

841
00:44:00,199 --> 00:44:03,559
My bad, I'm here. Ah there he is to make

842
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:05,039
sure are you still vested with us? You see, I'm

843
00:44:05,039 --> 00:44:06,800
think about leaving us. Are you anytime soon? You're still

844
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,079
good for lunch at two o'clock. I'm good. Let's dog,

845
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,840
I'm in teget right now. All right, So make sure

846
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:17,320
because we usually sense this with cleaning themselves up, get

847
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:20,519
the photo shoot, as he asked me to edit his resume. Yeah,

848
00:44:21,039 --> 00:44:25,320
come on, now that's what check something. Man got something here. Yeah,

849
00:44:25,639 --> 00:44:27,840
we appreciate you. We're trying. We're trying to get some

850
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,679
more money and put Matt down as a reference. Yeah,

851
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:32,679
seven on three, two, one, two, five, seven auties. So

852
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,679
the main headlines today, We've got Jannis potentially being traded

853
00:44:36,679 --> 00:44:39,159
for Milwaukee, that Milwaukee's listening to the offers. We have

854
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,199
that Bill Belichick is not getting in to the Pro

855
00:44:42,199 --> 00:44:44,119
Football Hall of Fame. And we have the Houston Rockets

856
00:44:44,159 --> 00:44:48,920
against the San Antonio Spurs tonight eight forty two or thereabouts.

857
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,960
I can feel my eyes WinCE as you said that

858
00:44:55,679 --> 00:44:59,880
postgame show. We'll get on about midnight. So in the

859
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,960
the NBA circles, and I'm not speaking out of school

860
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,320
on this, there are a handful of games. You look

861
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,239
at the calendar and go, that's probably gonna be a loss.

862
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:11,440
And think about this. So the game tonight gets started

863
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,320
eight forty two rockets. Let's say they win the game.

864
00:45:13,559 --> 00:45:16,199
It's gonna be emotionally charged game. It's San Antonio's arrival.

865
00:45:16,199 --> 00:45:19,880
Its burs why not. The game ends about eleven to fifteen. Okay,

866
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:21,679
the guys will get in the shower, they'll do the

867
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,840
interviews and whatever. We'll probably leave the Tota Center at

868
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:31,079
about twelve twelve fifteen maybe give or take. It's about

869
00:45:31,159 --> 00:45:34,159
forty minutes of Intercontinental, so that's twelve fifty five. Gotta

870
00:45:34,159 --> 00:45:36,400
put the bags on, gotta put everything on, the equipment

871
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,440
and whatnot. So you're looking at about, at earliest about

872
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:45,079
a one forty five departure time out of Intercontinental. Okay two,

873
00:45:45,159 --> 00:45:49,159
our flight to Atlanta is three forty five quick flight.

874
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,559
Then you gotta unload everything, get to the hotel. So

875
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,679
looking we're looking at about a four thirty am I

876
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,199
right about this four point thirty Houston time arrival in

877
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,599
the Atlanta and the Atlanta hotel and then you can

878
00:46:01,639 --> 00:46:03,239
get twelve hours of sleep and go to the game.

879
00:46:03,639 --> 00:46:06,519
Have you actually that's true for NBA players, that they

880
00:46:06,599 --> 00:46:09,400
can sleep very well. Yeah, it's a big part of it.

881
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,920
But sometimes you think you're gonna lose one games like

882
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,880
the Rockets we played in Detroit. The next time, you're

883
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,719
losing the tough game to Philadelphia overtime, right, and we

884
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,119
beat the Pistons. See that's what I'm saying. So so

885
00:46:19,199 --> 00:46:21,159
we got to stop talking about walking into losses. Well

886
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,800
we I'm just talking about the behind the scenes kind

887
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,920
of stuff. Okay. I think some teams do say, okay,

888
00:46:26,199 --> 00:46:28,280
this looks like the chance you got a disadvantage. Yeah,

889
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,880
I mean you're at a disadvantage. It's not going to

890
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,760
prevent you from winning, but certainly you can be at

891
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,840
a disadvantage and maybe it gonna be but difficult to

892
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,760
give your best. And I don't think Drian Phinney, Smith

893
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,360
and Tarry Eastern are playing back to back, So the

894
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,320
question would be do you sit one or both of

895
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,400
them out tonight and play the other one tomorrow against

896
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,119
Atlanta Atari tonight. I would be shocked if he doesn't

897
00:46:44,119 --> 00:46:46,440
play against one. Oh, you're telling me national television he

898
00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:48,039
wants that part of that. Well, I don't care about that.

899
00:46:48,079 --> 00:46:50,039
I'm just talking about it, you dope. His decision. Yeah,

900
00:46:50,119 --> 00:46:51,800
and we'll talk to Ima coming up about that and

901
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,639
see what he has for a line of oh this

902
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,480
afternoon when he joins us. Also, speaking of the NBA,

903
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:05,920
oh oh, there was a little bit of trade rumors

904
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:07,960
out there about the Rockets being involved potentially in a

905
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:12,280
guard Kobe White. Is the name ring a bell to you? Yeah?

906
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,719
I mean I know who he is, North Carolina, Chicago Bull. Yeah.

907
00:47:16,599 --> 00:47:19,159
And apparently although these are and these to me are

908
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,159
largely aggregators, meaning people that don't organically come up with

909
00:47:22,159 --> 00:47:24,239
stuff they don't know. You're not reading the Sporting News again,

910
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:24,440
are you?

911
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 3: No.

912
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 2: I had to block somebody yesterday because they put out

913
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,760
a report saying that, uh, Anthony Davis was traded. So

914
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,480
that was not the case. I've started blocking those people.

915
00:47:35,039 --> 00:47:37,519
Doesn't catch in that in that area. But they're saying

916
00:47:37,559 --> 00:47:39,960
that according to this report, and again not that Rafel's

917
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:41,760
called me saying, hey man, that's true, where that's not true?

918
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:45,119
From whom a legian hoops something like that, a legion

919
00:47:45,559 --> 00:47:49,840
they're aggregator that Tarr Easton is untouchable in a potential trade,

920
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,079
which Easton and who no, just you said at this

921
00:47:56,119 --> 00:47:58,199
point he's untouchable. That would be that would be that

922
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,920
would mean that you cannot call thee's about Tar Easton interesting.

923
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:06,320
Here's the thing about Tari He's shooting as good as

924
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,320
well as he ever has before from three point range,

925
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:09,840
top five in the NBA in three point shooting, it

926
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,800
gets a lot of wide open looks. Well, okay, you

927
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,599
still got to knock him down right, yeah, steals the

928
00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:18,679
ball incredibly athletic. Has become a better finisher than he

929
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,880
was saying early in his career. Not an elite finisher,

930
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:24,679
but a better finisher, and defensively he is. I don't

931
00:48:24,679 --> 00:48:27,119
mean to make you all squeamish over there. I'm sorry.

932
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,480
I just it made me every time he's on a

933
00:48:30,519 --> 00:48:35,440
fast break, I'm pair the first year dude, Dude, I

934
00:48:35,599 --> 00:48:37,800
used to have hair, Jonathan, when Tarry Easton was on

935
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,679
a fast break. That was in the nineteen nineties. It's

936
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:47,119
better now, say ask yourself. It's like a what's try

937
00:48:47,199 --> 00:48:49,960
to predict what's going to happen every time Tarry Easton's

938
00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,679
on a fast break. I mean, look, I love Tarry

939
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:56,960
Easton is not touchable. I don't understand that he's not. Well,

940
00:48:57,199 --> 00:49:01,159
I will say probably probably because like, yeah, he's untouchable,

941
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:05,039
probably putting that out there. Well, here's what that plays hard.

942
00:49:05,119 --> 00:49:08,039
It's funny that a player would be untouchable. I'm not

943
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:09,880
I'm just talking about it in the in the not

944
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,639
necessarily target but in the context he's a free agent

945
00:49:12,639 --> 00:49:14,679
at the end of this year. It's hard to say restricted.

946
00:49:14,679 --> 00:49:16,800
It's restricted, which means the Rockets can match any off

947
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:19,039
that somebody else gives him. But it is weird that

948
00:49:19,159 --> 00:49:21,679
a guy who would be a pending free agent would

949
00:49:21,679 --> 00:49:23,639
be considered untouchable by a team. Yeah, I don't know.

950
00:49:24,119 --> 00:49:26,159
I first of all, he's not untouchable. I mean he

951
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,559
could come over in a like a potential Giannis Steel

952
00:49:28,639 --> 00:49:33,079
or whatever. Yeah, nobody's untouchable, probably except Kevin Durant on

953
00:49:33,119 --> 00:49:36,079
this team, like one untouchable depending on Like we're talking

954
00:49:36,079 --> 00:49:40,000
about Superstar Superstar Luka Doncic wasn't untouchable, although that was

955
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,960
a big, huge folly by Nico Harrison. He wasn't untouchable.

956
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:46,960
But yeah, Tarry Easton is getting better. Finishing at the

957
00:49:47,039 --> 00:49:49,519
rim still can be an adventure when he's on the

958
00:49:49,559 --> 00:49:52,280
fast break. But but at least he's giving the ball

959
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,159
much more than last year. Every box you want as

960
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:59,519
a role player. He can shoot, he can dribble a

961
00:49:59,559 --> 00:50:02,519
little bit. He can I mean, he's a great defender.

962
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:04,679
His minutes are going up again. I still think they're

963
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,079
very fairly hesitant about back to backs, although that could

964
00:50:07,159 --> 00:50:09,360
certainly change as he continues to get back from a

965
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,920
variety of things. Energetic, offensive rebounder. He's got great You

966
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,639
don't normally say this about the NBA player, but he's

967
00:50:14,639 --> 00:50:17,599
got great hands, like poking the ball away and deflecting

968
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:21,800
and causing havoc. He interprets passes. He he is a

969
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,679
pass deflector. He anticipates things. There's a high basketball cue.

970
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,960
He'd be a great ten table tennis player or something like.

971
00:50:29,039 --> 00:50:32,480
His hand eye coordination is very good. Yeah, poking the ball.

972
00:50:32,599 --> 00:50:35,559
Normally you're like, stop reaching. You don't like reach ins. Yeah,

973
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,599
when I see somebody reach in, you're like, oh, come on,

974
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,920
like Aubrn shing guns reaching in on everybody. You're like, hey,

975
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:42,559
stop that, you're racking up fouls. Tarry Easton's really good

976
00:50:42,559 --> 00:50:44,719
at that Men Thompson as well. Yeah, all right, so

977
00:50:45,159 --> 00:50:46,639
we got that to get too. We got some college

978
00:50:46,639 --> 00:50:48,519
football stuff. I want to get to big picture stuff.

979
00:50:48,519 --> 00:50:50,400
It's about one university, but it will not be just

980
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,840
about one university ultimately, when more reports come out, I'll

981
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,960
tay more about that as one school in the Big

982
00:50:55,039 --> 00:50:59,039
Tennis and some serious financial peril because of the athletic department.

983
00:50:59,159 --> 00:51:01,360
Eleven thirteen, shut your bomb ass up, coming up in

984
00:51:01,639 --> 00:51:04,719

988
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:19,480
So yeah, Look, we're not in the mediast part of

989
00:51:19,519 --> 00:51:21,920
the sports year, so sometimes it takes some more macro

990
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:23,679
looks at things in sports.

991
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:25,119
Speaker 5: Uh.

992
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 2: Is very interesting to me that an audit of Rutgers

993
00:51:32,559 --> 00:51:37,880
athletics got out according to NJ dot com, which is

994
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,840
New Jersey in public school, Yeah, state school. It's the

995
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:46,559
State School of Pennsylvany of New Jersey. Okay. Since joining

996
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:58,480
the Big ten Rutgers has lost five hundred million dollars. Okay,

997
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,960
that's statement number one one that I find very hard

998
00:52:02,039 --> 00:52:04,239
to believe. Not that I'm saying that people are lying, huh,

999
00:52:04,639 --> 00:52:08,559
but you can certainly gut the numbers up a little bit, right,

1000
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:13,280
I mean tell me, because anything that loses five hundred

1001
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,920
million dollars, how and that was twelve years ago, they've

1002
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,599
lost six on average of about forty million dollars a year.

1003
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:23,880
Uh huh, you would stop that, correct, I mean, there

1004
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,840
are sunking costs into things. I don't think I would guess,

1005
00:52:27,039 --> 00:52:29,119
but I mean you have, you have budgets, you have

1006
00:52:29,199 --> 00:52:32,679
a public budget has lost means just not profitable. But

1007
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:37,000
does that mean like they owe that money? I don't know.

1008
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,079
So the past calendar year twenty twenty four to twenty five,

1009
00:52:40,199 --> 00:52:44,119
the fiscal year Rutgers announced, or that NJ dot com

1010
00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:50,519
found out that they lost seventy eight million dollars. Now

1011
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,119
I'm trying to do the dollars and cents on this.

1012
00:52:56,199 --> 00:52:56,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

1013
00:52:58,159 --> 00:53:01,159
Speaker 2: Look, it costs money to fund scholars ships for a

1014
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:07,920
variety of sports facilities. You have to turn the lights on.

1015
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,960
You have to, I mean you, I mean, I think

1016
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,800
everybody with the signer my voice knows what it would

1017
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:17,559
take to run an athletic department from facilities to employees,

1018
00:53:18,039 --> 00:53:24,599
to travel, to compliance, to academics to sports medicine to facility.

1019
00:53:25,559 --> 00:53:28,679
I could say it's running a small, little, good sized

1020
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:31,039
company when you're trying to run a department of a school.

1021
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,840
But you're telling me in one year that Rutgers lost

1022
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,760
seventy eight million dollars even with all that crazy Big

1023
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,559
Ten money that's coming in. And my guess is they're

1024
00:53:41,599 --> 00:53:43,440
full fledged members of Big Ten. They're not having to

1025
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:46,079
take a partial share of because they're a relatively new school.

1026
00:53:46,079 --> 00:53:47,760
They've been the league for twelve years. I don't know

1027
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,840
how much of that Greg Chiano contracts. I don't know,

1028
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:57,079
But is this the start of things? Oh, we're gonna

1029
00:53:57,079 --> 00:53:59,840
start hearing more about other schools in this same situation,

1030
00:54:00,039 --> 00:54:03,280
because look, I know, Rutgers is not a primo Big

1031
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,679
Ten school. Didn't they have two lottery picks and basketball?

1032
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 3: You do?

1033
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,199
Speaker 2: We're going to see what them tonight. As a matter

1034
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:13,480
of fact, Ylan Harper, I mean to a point.

1035
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,760
Speaker 4: A couple of years back, Clemson had to almost cut

1036
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,760
their men's track team because the institution and programs were

1037
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,719
just losing too much money just to Yeah, and you know, just.

1038
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:24,519
Speaker 2: The other sports as well, but you gotta have a

1039
00:54:24,519 --> 00:54:26,039
certa number off, don't you have a certain number of

1040
00:54:26,039 --> 00:54:29,599
school of programs to match up to be athletic primate title?

1041
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,159
Power four? Yeah? Or not a power forwards to tunnel

1042
00:54:33,199 --> 00:54:35,239
that he's talking about. Do you have to have a

1043
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,880
number a number of sports to be a pawer for

1044
00:54:38,159 --> 00:54:39,960
I guess maybe maybe you do have me a certain number.

1045
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,480
I mean it's both before the same three. Right, you're right,

1046
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:50,119
you're correct. If I'm the state of New Jersey and

1047
00:54:50,199 --> 00:54:54,760
I'm in charge of Rutgers, Uh, we gotta do something

1048
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,960
about this. We you can't lose forty when you're in

1049
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,559
the Big ten and you lose forty million, eight million

1050
00:55:00,599 --> 00:55:04,559
dollars with all the television money, now, would think, here's

1051
00:55:04,599 --> 00:55:07,119
my point on this, if you filled up Rutgers Stadium,

1052
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:11,119
that wouldn't make that wouldn't cut into it, because look,

1053
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,079
you know East Coast football is for the most part

1054
00:55:14,199 --> 00:55:19,000
non existent. Yeah. W Retckers has been rarely, if ever

1055
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,119
relevant football and anything for that matter. Yeah, I mean,

1056
00:55:22,199 --> 00:55:25,559
to be brutally honesty, they have never been relevant in

1057
00:55:25,639 --> 00:55:31,519
much Yeah what I and look, we don't have time

1058
00:55:31,559 --> 00:55:33,159
for a deep dive on the basketball stuff and not

1059
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:36,960
that are expected to. But if you have a power

1060
00:55:37,079 --> 00:55:41,280
for school in a major metropolitan city, I mean the

1061
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,079
biggest of them all. I mean Piscataway, New Jersey, just

1062
00:55:44,079 --> 00:55:47,519
a suburb of Frankly of New York City, and they're

1063
00:55:47,639 --> 00:55:50,800
dropping seventy eight million. I mean, imagine with other schools

1064
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,760
that that are you know, what is How's Illinois doing it?

1065
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:54,360
Speaker 1: Uh?

1066
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,280
Speaker 2: Well, I mean don't we have books on this because

1067
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,599
they're all public schools? Yeah, freedom information that this New

1068
00:55:59,679 --> 00:56:03,760
Jersey website that's the newspaper got a hold of the numbers.

1069
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:05,159
Speaker 6: Is it?

1070
00:56:05,639 --> 00:56:08,679
Speaker 2: Is it salaries? I don't know how you lose seventy

1071
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:12,440
eight million dollars in one year. That makes no sense

1072
00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:14,440
to me. To me, it comes down to your schol

1073
00:56:14,519 --> 00:56:17,239
your your scholarship members. You can't you're not make enough

1074
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,920
enough money in the scholarships because you were if let's say,

1075
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:21,400
how much as it cost to go to student school

1076
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:23,199
at Rutgers are you talking of? Is it seventy five

1077
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:26,400
thousand dollars a year six thousand times at times seventy

1078
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:32,800
players that's four million dollars just in scholarships. M I

1079
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,079
don't know if it's so worthy of a deep diver

1080
00:56:34,199 --> 00:56:35,679
or not. I just wanted. I just saw the note

1081
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,800
yesterday and I was like, God, how does this happen?

1082
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,280
Haven't we had issues where A and M in Texas

1083
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:43,639
have I had to be a little leaner when it

1084
00:56:43,679 --> 00:56:47,360
comes to stuff over the years. I don't know, not

1085
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,400
that I've heard of. No, they pretty cash flush.

1086
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,119
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1087
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what did it. What did Trev Abberts

1088
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:56,960
do As soon as he got the job at A

1089
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,280
and M he fired a bunch of people. Now that

1090
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:01,679
was to pay off the Jimbo contract. Yeah, you gotta

1091
00:57:01,679 --> 00:57:03,960
pay Jimbo. And maybe that's part of it too. If

1092
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,119
he doesn't help, you have bad contracts that you'll get,

1093
00:57:07,119 --> 00:57:09,079
you'll never get the dollar of value back on that.

1094
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,840
It was just now Again, I don't even know if

1095
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,719
New York Sports Radio and WFN talk about Rutgus football

1096
00:57:16,159 --> 00:57:18,360
uh in athletics and I'm again, I apologize for doing

1097
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:19,280
a horrific accent, but.

1098
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 3: I just like.

1099
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 2: Seventy eight million dollars in one year. I understand banning

1100
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,320
green being a financial difficulty. I understand even a Tulane

1101
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,519
or a Memphis or A. This sounds like Grossmiths management,

1102
00:57:35,639 --> 00:57:38,079
Small South, Florida. I mean, I don't want to say

1103
00:57:38,079 --> 00:57:41,480
the mafia is funneling funds out of Rutgers, but it

1104
00:57:41,599 --> 00:57:45,360
just doesn't seem like it adds up. I'm gonna go

1105
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,679
to Google AI right now. Okay, promote something while I

1106
00:57:49,719 --> 00:57:51,800
do this. Why is Rutgers? You got to follow me?

1107
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,960
You know what, I'm gonna follow you back up until noon.

1108
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:58,039
If you follow me on Instagram. At Sports RV, I

1109
00:57:58,039 --> 00:58:00,400
would appreciate it. We just posted a video of us talking.

1110
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,199
I'm promising we're going to lunch after the show. I

1111
00:58:05,239 --> 00:58:08,800
will post some pictures of that. I normally just post barbecue,

1112
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,280
some sports talk. Let's see what else. I need two

1113
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,920
more likes for one hundred on my on my Astros

1114
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,360
fan fast pick, So I'd appreciate that too. At Sports

1115
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,960
RV on Instagram, I'll follow you back. Okay, follow me

1116
00:58:21,039 --> 00:58:23,840
on sports Instagram. At sports you give us the news.

1117
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,719
The news is the reason. Google AI says massive spending

1118
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,840
on coach salaries, hang off debt and facility upgrades design

1119
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,639
to compete in the Big ten A facility upgrades, those

1120
00:58:37,679 --> 00:58:39,920
can't be cheap. I could I could see that being

1121
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,880
an issue, but I mean, if you're a Rutgers you

1122
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,000
don't turn down the Big ten, right, you can't. No,

1123
00:58:46,119 --> 00:58:48,440
why would you? Well I have a reason why. Well,

1124
00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,960
maybe they're running a deficit now and the profits will come. Matt,

1125
00:58:51,159 --> 00:58:53,880
was that right? Okay? I don't know. If you build it,

1126
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,360
they will come fill up the Wreckers Stadium of fourteen

1127
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,199
thousand to see Rutgers play America. They were getting a

1128
00:59:00,199 --> 00:59:02,639
lot of recruits. Somebody out there is dropping cash on

1129
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:04,679
nil for records. Well, how do you have two five

1130
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,400
top five guys in the NBA draft from one basketball?

1131
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:08,280
They didn't make the tournament?

1132
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 4: Right?

1133
00:59:09,719 --> 00:59:11,559
Speaker 2: How do you have two top five guys you don't

1134
00:59:11,559 --> 00:59:14,480
make the tournament? That sounds like something Texas Basketball would do.

1135
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,239
It's unbelievable. Seven one three two one two five seven

1136
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:23,360
ninty seven to one three two one two five seven

1137
00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:28,199
nine zero. Let's go to my phone system is uh,

1138
00:59:28,599 --> 00:59:30,079
I have a little trouble here. Let's go to line

1139
00:59:30,119 --> 00:59:31,679
to Rossie and so how do Scott and River Oroke?

1140
00:59:31,719 --> 00:59:34,960
Scott wants to talk about Bill Belichick? Hi, Scott, what's

1141
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:35,280
going on?

1142
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:35,639
Speaker 6: Guys?

1143
00:59:35,719 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 3: Hi?

1144
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 2: All right?

1145
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 5: So the Bill Belichick situation. Let me just start here.

1146
00:59:40,639 --> 00:59:44,320
So there are two types of sports fans in my opinion.

1147
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,400
So there are fans who are fans of their city

1148
00:59:47,559 --> 00:59:50,440
right so they may become an Astros fan during playoff

1149
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,360
times they love what it represents, or a Rockets fan

1150
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,360
when they're doing well text and so on and so forth.

1151
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,800
And then there are other fans you know of their

1152
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,000
teams in the sports. And yes, I'm a huge Astros,

1153
00:59:59,079 --> 01:00:01,559
Rockets and Texas f but I'm a fan of the

1154
01:00:01,679 --> 01:00:04,280
game as well. So over the years, and I'm thirty

1155
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:08,079
one years old. Although all my favorite players are you know,

1156
01:00:08,519 --> 01:00:10,239
who I grew up rooting for are from the city

1157
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:10,719
of Houston.

1158
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,119
Speaker 3: I gain an.

1159
01:00:12,079 --> 01:00:16,039
Speaker 5: Appreciation for the players that we the players and teams

1160
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:17,960
that we competed against. So if you were to ask

1161
01:00:18,079 --> 01:00:20,880
me who my favorite players are outside of the city

1162
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,440
of Houston, I would give you names such as the

1163
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,960
first one that comes to mind is Albert Polhols, Kyton Manning,

1164
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,239
Kobe Bryant because I remember battles with them and them

1165
01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:32,719
meeting something to me when when you know I was

1166
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,079
growing up learning to love sports, I don't remember a

1167
01:00:36,199 --> 01:00:41,000
time where something happened travesty like this happening to another

1168
01:00:41,119 --> 01:00:44,800
city irritated me this much. Not only is this a sham,

1169
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,039
I mean there's so when people when I was watching

1170
01:00:47,079 --> 01:00:49,519
clips on this last night and people were even explaining

1171
01:00:49,599 --> 01:00:54,519
Belichick's resume to articulate how much of a travesty this is.

1172
01:00:54,679 --> 01:00:57,400
That's almost insulting. He is just the go to munk

1173
01:00:57,440 --> 01:00:59,599
goats where it's it's something that shouldn't have to be

1174
01:01:00,239 --> 01:01:03,519
even talked about. I'll submit this. This is how where

1175
01:01:03,559 --> 01:01:06,679
I stand with it. Two facts that have happened, give

1176
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,400
or take, within the last year, and which one is

1177
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:14,960
more egregious the Mavericks trading Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis

1178
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,679
or Bill Belichick not being a first ballot Hall of Famer.

1179
01:01:19,079 --> 01:01:22,840
I would submit that Bill Belichick not being a first

1180
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:26,360
ballot Hall of Famer is a more egregious act. I know,

1181
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:30,480
They're not really comparable than what the Mavericks did to Laker.

1182
01:01:30,559 --> 01:01:33,480
That is how ridiculous it is, and it ruins the

1183
01:01:33,559 --> 01:01:37,480
credibility of future Hall of Fame inductions if something like

1184
01:01:37,559 --> 01:01:38,239
that is to happen.

1185
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:38,559
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1186
01:01:38,679 --> 01:01:41,239
Speaker 2: They really tick me off on track, don't yeah, we

1187
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,480
have don't hang up because I want I actually called

1188
01:01:44,519 --> 01:01:47,599
for people like yourself. So I'm gonna repeat what I

1189
01:01:47,599 --> 01:01:49,880
said about an hour ago. He as a Hall of

1190
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:55,280
Fame coach, he is going to get in. You have

1191
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,400
old so dodgy media. That's just part of That's just

1192
01:01:58,599 --> 01:02:01,519
who votes, Okay, it is what it is, you know,

1193
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,400
and sometimes media guys have agendas and that's not the

1194
01:02:05,519 --> 01:02:07,960
right answer. But I'm just speaking to you in real life,

1195
01:02:08,239 --> 01:02:13,519
real talk. But the point is, should there have been

1196
01:02:13,559 --> 01:02:18,280
a punishment for a guy who was found guilty of

1197
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:22,559
trying to steal signs from another sports from one of

1198
01:02:22,599 --> 01:02:26,159
his opponents. He got fined five hundred thousand dollars and

1199
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,599
was found complicit. We don't know how severe it was,

1200
01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,159
how long it was, but there was impropriety involving the

1201
01:02:32,159 --> 01:02:35,760
New England Patriots trying to signs deal from the New

1202
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:36,320
York Jets.

1203
01:02:37,559 --> 01:02:40,639
Speaker 5: My response to on that would be if we take

1204
01:02:40,679 --> 01:02:44,639
into consideration that that was the only reason in time

1205
01:02:44,719 --> 01:02:48,119
period that he found a level of success, then potentially

1206
01:02:48,519 --> 01:02:52,840
the man was considered to be the greatest coach during

1207
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:54,960
his time in the NFL over a span of two

1208
01:02:55,079 --> 01:02:58,360
decades one eight and now here I am explaining his

1209
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,679
credentials again. Sure, six super Bowls, as a head coach.

1210
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:04,039
And I was listening to someone talking about last night

1211
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:06,719
his two Super Bowls as a defensive coordinator of the Giants.

1212
01:03:06,920 --> 01:03:10,440
He gets massive credit apparently that Bill's offense was unstoppable

1213
01:03:10,519 --> 01:03:12,039
that year and the job they did to them in

1214
01:03:12,119 --> 01:03:14,119
the Super Bowl, and he would he received all the

1215
01:03:14,199 --> 01:03:17,079
credit for that. He I mean, it's it's the same

1216
01:03:17,119 --> 01:03:19,719
answer I would give as us as Astros fans when

1217
01:03:19,719 --> 01:03:21,639
people ask, is that's the reason we won? Us as

1218
01:03:21,719 --> 01:03:24,639
fans know in our heart of hearts that twenty seventeen

1219
01:03:24,719 --> 01:03:27,280
through twenty twenty, that was one of the more talented

1220
01:03:27,519 --> 01:03:30,480
rosters put together, left, right and center. Didn't matter if

1221
01:03:30,519 --> 01:03:31,840
we were at home, didn't matter if we were on

1222
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:35,079
the road. We had high caliber players at every position.

1223
01:03:35,159 --> 01:03:37,880
And we can say with a relatively high confidence that

1224
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,400
with or without cameras, we were going to win a

1225
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:43,039
lot of baseball games during that era. We feel confident

1226
01:03:43,079 --> 01:03:44,199
in saying that absolutely.

1227
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 2: But so, but if George Springer is going to the

1228
01:03:47,960 --> 01:03:50,920
Hall of Fame, he's going to have to wait. If

1229
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,679
Carlos Peltron can he did get in the Hall of Fame.

1230
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,039
He did. Yeah, it Wasanna's first ballot on that I no,

1231
01:03:56,199 --> 01:03:59,440
I don't think so. I hope LZL tube is not

1232
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:02,199
gonna have to wait because I don't think jose was involved.

1233
01:04:02,239 --> 01:04:04,039
That's just me. Maybe I'm being biased. You might have

1234
01:04:04,199 --> 01:04:04,840
to but.

1235
01:04:05,559 --> 01:04:09,079
Speaker 5: Okay, I so should Tom Brady have to wait a year?

1236
01:04:09,679 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: Sure?

1237
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,719
Speaker 2: Why not? I mean that we're in the room.

1238
01:04:14,199 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 5: You would not vote Tom Brady.

1239
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 2: I would. I would have voted Bill Belichick. That's not

1240
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,320
what you asked. I mean, he broke the rules. It

1241
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:26,039
was a major scandal. This this is not some great travesty.

1242
01:04:26,239 --> 01:04:28,280
And we're also not saying that he's not gonna ever

1243
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:30,719
going to get in. But there may be some people,

1244
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,079
and again this is I'm just trying to think to

1245
01:04:33,199 --> 01:04:36,719
the other person's perspective. If you have someone who has

1246
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,719
this incredible resume Scott, which obviously Bill Belichick does, but

1247
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,760
there is a blemish, asterisk, scar, whatever you want to

1248
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:48,000
call it, next to it. There may be ten people

1249
01:04:48,039 --> 01:04:50,639
in Wire fifty that say, you know what, we appreciate

1250
01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:52,599
everything he's done. He's one of the greatest coaches of

1251
01:04:52,639 --> 01:04:55,000
all time, if not the greatest all of of all time.

1252
01:04:55,639 --> 01:04:58,599
But there is something that that has marred his career,

1253
01:04:59,519 --> 01:05:02,400
and spy Gate was a pretty significant part of a

1254
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,400
huge five year and you know run during the NFL.

1255
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,599
It wasn't it was just it wasn't a It wasn't

1256
01:05:07,679 --> 01:05:10,599
just a one off in terms of oh, well, you know,

1257
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,320
I'm in terms of think of something minor. It was

1258
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,159
a It was a very major offense when it happened. Yeah,

1259
01:05:16,199 --> 01:05:18,039
it was talked about for a long period of time,

1260
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,239
and then there were allegations throughout his career. It was

1261
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:22,519
a major scandal. I mean, they got the draft pick

1262
01:05:22,599 --> 01:05:25,000
taken away, he was fined five hundred thousand dollars. This

1263
01:05:25,159 --> 01:05:27,119
was I know it was twenty years ago at this point,

1264
01:05:27,159 --> 01:05:28,960
but it was a major, major scandal.

1265
01:05:30,159 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 5: So this is the last thing I would say on it.

1266
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,840
So if the point is that his career has a

1267
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,559
blemish on it because of that, which I guess in

1268
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,519
some degrees is fair, why I think it makes me

1269
01:05:40,599 --> 01:05:43,119
so upset is that they are saying that the last

1270
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,320
twenty years of football have a blemish to it because

1271
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:49,880
they were the most dominating force over that twenty year period. Yeah,

1272
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,480
they're taking credibility away of the last twenty years of football,

1273
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:55,559
and I'm not willing.

1274
01:05:56,199 --> 01:05:59,039
Speaker 2: To accept that that that that's most and most people

1275
01:05:59,119 --> 01:06:00,719
are not. But to found ten people that.

1276
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 5: Were, Yeah, I appreciate you talking to you.

1277
01:06:03,519 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 2: Thanks, yeah, and again I wish I could come to

1278
01:06:07,039 --> 01:06:09,039
you and go, this is the greatest Travis I've ever

1279
01:06:09,079 --> 01:06:10,480
heard of in my life. And maybe again, I think

1280
01:06:10,519 --> 01:06:12,039
maybe you and I are maybe on the wrong side

1281
01:06:12,079 --> 01:06:15,280
of this because I'm looking at all the different TV shows,

1282
01:06:15,519 --> 01:06:19,639
Bill Belichick, how can this possibly happen? It happened because cheated.

1283
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,119
He cheated. He happened because he cheated. And this is

1284
01:06:22,199 --> 01:06:24,679
the thing. He's not been banned for life, He's not

1285
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,960
kicked out of the NFL for good. He's gonna have

1286
01:06:27,039 --> 01:06:30,320
to wait one year, even a game, a grossover reaction

1287
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:33,920
by people. He'll be in next year and it'll all

1288
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:37,440
be hunky dory. Some owners or whoever are pushing for

1289
01:06:37,559 --> 01:06:40,199
him not to make it, and the owners in that

1290
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:44,079
fraternity maybe have us are feeling a certain type of way. Also,

1291
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:47,880
my understanding is there were five candidates and everybody could

1292
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:52,159
only vote for three. Is Robert Krafft can't remember everybody else,

1293
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:57,360
but whoever else is is gonna make it, and he'll

1294
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,840
be in next year. In a case, I guess the

1295
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:04,800
argument is if he's gonna get in, why y'all being petty?

1296
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,119
And the question is is it patty? It's a very

1297
01:07:08,159 --> 01:07:13,079
easy reason he cheated, And yeah, I'm I don't want

1298
01:07:13,159 --> 01:07:15,559
Josel Tubad have to wait a year. He might. I

1299
01:07:15,639 --> 01:07:17,679
don't know, he might, he might, I don't know. We'll

1300
01:07:17,719 --> 01:07:21,199
see he's got my vote. Bill Belichick would have my vot.

1301
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,960
I don't hate Bill Belichick. No, I respect the hell

1302
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:25,679
out of him. If I'm sitting there with a vote,

1303
01:07:25,719 --> 01:07:27,599
I'm voting him, I'm voting him in as well. But

1304
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,840

01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:33,479
Tuoba when it becomes eligible. We just said it's gonna happen.

1348
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:39,800
Nothing wrong. Come on, people, wake up, wake up, listen

1349
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:47,319

01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,800

1351
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:53,600
That's all I gave you. You did nothing wrong, didn't.

1352
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,880
Has joseel Tube been implicated in any of this? No,

1353
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:02,319
he was not involved in spygate. What are we calling

1354
01:10:02,359 --> 01:10:08,119
ours trash gate to sign stealing scandal? There you go. Yeah,

1355
01:10:08,159 --> 01:10:10,159
he might be held out for a year. And this

1356
01:10:10,279 --> 01:10:12,479
is again again, I don't know that that I've had

1357
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:14,359

1358
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:17,399

1359
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,920
Bay was not complicit. He was not the Yeah, if

1360
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,479
we're talking about Alex kra the apples and apples would

1361
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,439
not be jose Al Tuovay, You're talking about a player

1362
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,119
versus a coach who was the mastermind of the scandal,

1363
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:30,560
not a player that didn't participate in the scandal. It's

1364
01:10:30,640 --> 01:10:33,600
two different things. And another thing. Look, I understand like

1365
01:10:34,079 --> 01:10:37,079
for everybody and look it's it's literally like JJ watt

1366
01:10:37,279 --> 01:10:41,840
and Pat McFee did he get a new Uh? Is

1367
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:45,680
JJ watway lesson if we get a new facelift? Is

1368
01:10:46,159 --> 01:10:47,159
JJ watwaing lesson?

1369
01:10:47,159 --> 01:10:47,279
Speaker 7: Too?

1370
01:10:47,319 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 2: Hundred punds like how thin he looks?

1371
01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 4: Now?

1372
01:10:49,159 --> 01:10:50,560
Speaker 2: I think McFie got a new facelift?

1373
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 8: All right?

1374
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 5: Uh?

1375
01:10:51,359 --> 01:10:57,319
Speaker 2: Anyway, that's fine, I mean he looks great. Can we

1376
01:10:57,399 --> 01:10:59,720
stop acting like Bill Belichick is never gonna make the

1377
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:01,960
whole of fame ever, they held him out for a

1378
01:11:02,079 --> 01:11:04,880
year because it was as again there was a draft

1379
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:09,479
pick taken from the Patriots. Bill Belichick was fined five

1380
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:13,439
hundred thousand dollars. How many games? So, JOSEL. Tuove suspended?

1381
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:13,800
Speaker 8: How many?

1382
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:15,319
Speaker 2: How much? Fine? How much did you have to go

1383
01:11:15,399 --> 01:11:17,359
in front of people and say I did this? None?

1384
01:11:17,399 --> 01:11:19,880
He did none of that. The Patriots were fined two

1385
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:23,560
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Bill Belichick was the mastermind

1386
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,439
of it. Plus there was the Flategate, Plus there was

1387
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:31,000
Josh McDaniel's accusing them of taping them in like twenty ten. Like,

1388
01:11:31,119 --> 01:11:33,560
this isn't just a one off thing. It was a

1389
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,199
major targeted scandal that they possibly could have been doing

1390
01:11:36,239 --> 01:11:38,119
for years. And so if you think it is the

1391
01:11:38,199 --> 01:11:40,920
greatest travesty in the history of football that he's got

1392
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,199
to wait one year to get into a Hall of fame,

1393
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,399
hut your boass up, chut jo cho, bum ass up. No,

1394
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:49,640
listen to our show. Shut your bo mess up, shut

1395
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:51,560
cho bum ass up. Man, I got time for you

1396
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,920
just to create your own storylines. Hey, nobody get ten.

1397
01:11:54,319 --> 01:11:56,239
Thanks for listening. By the way, we appreciate you. Yeah,

1398
01:11:56,279 --> 01:11:58,359
we love you. I mean it happens. It's radio, it's

1399
01:11:58,399 --> 01:12:02,079
live radio. Sometimes people misconstrued things we say. I think

1400
01:12:02,119 --> 01:12:05,399
we were very I think I I'm the king of prefacing.

1401
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:09,000
I prefaced too much. You know they do call you.

1402
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:11,560
Did I not say that? George Springer if he was

1403
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:12,760
gonna know the Hall of Fame, which I don't believe

1404
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:13,960
he's going, he gonna have to wait. He was gonna

1405
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,000
have to wait? Did I not say that? Yeah, he's

1406
01:12:16,199 --> 01:12:19,920
a borderline case. If I think Carlscorey is gonna have

1407
01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:22,560
to wait, I don't think he gets in eitherline case

1408
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,000
ozel two eight. Not a borderlink, not a borderline case.

1409
01:12:26,159 --> 01:12:28,159
Doesn't have to wait. Didn't do anything. He might have

1410
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:30,000
to wait. Now he's now he might have to wait.

1411
01:12:30,039 --> 01:12:32,880
Gets guilty by association, Yeah, I get that he'll get in.

1412
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,359
Heasy gonna get in, I think, but not guilty. But

1413
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,840
Bill Belichick's not guilty by association. He's guilty by being guilty.

1414
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,199
Seven one three two one two five seven out seven

1415
01:12:44,199 --> 01:12:46,560

01:12:53,600 --> 01:12:55,439

01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:56,840

1422
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 3: All right.

1423
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 9: They had to slap him on the wrist one time.

1424
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:01,359
Speaker 2: It's all good. Yeah, mass up man.

1425
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,119
Speaker 9: So, as you guys know, I might have mentioned a

1426
01:13:04,119 --> 01:13:04,560
couple of times.

1427
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 2: I drive trucks.

1428
01:13:05,479 --> 01:13:07,319
Speaker 9: I dropped throughout the city all day every day, making

1429
01:13:07,359 --> 01:13:08,680
deliveries and pickups and whatnot.

1430
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:09,159
Speaker 2: In the eighteen.

1431
01:13:09,199 --> 01:13:12,359
Speaker 9: Where So today I'm on the Hardy Toe Road and you,

1432
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,239
as you know, Hardy is sixty five miles an hour,

1433
01:13:15,319 --> 01:13:18,640
that's speed limit. I'm in the middle lane and there's

1434
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:22,800
this woman in a Cadillac, and I guess, for whatever reason.

1435
01:13:23,319 --> 01:13:23,399
Speaker 3: She.

1436
01:13:25,159 --> 01:13:29,000
Speaker 9: Forgets that her exit is coming up. So ms bright

1437
01:13:29,079 --> 01:13:34,279
eyes here stops dead on almost cause the power up

1438
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,079
on the Hardy Toe Road, just so she can go

1439
01:13:37,239 --> 01:13:39,680
over another lane and then another lane to.

1440
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 2: Get in her exit.

1441
01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:43,520
Speaker 9: Man, woman, look, ain't nobody got time for you not

1442
01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:44,279
paying attention?

1443
01:13:44,399 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: All right?

1444
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:48,199
Speaker 9: Do not cause a big old wreck. Just pass up

1445
01:13:48,239 --> 01:13:51,399
the exit, add an extra two to three five minutetarian commute,

1446
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,359
and just take the next exit, right. Ain't nobody got

1447
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,039
tough for these dumb drivers.

1448
01:13:55,359 --> 01:14:00,239
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody got for that? I got one. So Craig

1449
01:14:00,279 --> 01:14:04,520
Akerman and I took on our trip to Portland, which

1450
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:06,800
was a few weeks back, took an uber from our

1451
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:11,479
hotel to the arena. Okay, how long was it? Ten

1452
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:14,199
minute ride? At most? Okay, well, this wound up being twenty.

1453
01:14:16,720 --> 01:14:19,399
We get in the car and we start heading towards

1454
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:21,520
the arena and we're going kind of the backwards route

1455
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:24,239
there's usually a direct route and there's the back trails.

1456
01:14:24,279 --> 01:14:25,720
Oh that's right. This is the guy you yelled at

1457
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,960
and got one star. So he's got us heading on

1458
01:14:29,119 --> 01:14:33,239
I five north towards Seattle, and Craig is like, sir, sir, sir,

1459
01:14:33,399 --> 01:14:35,920
you're going the wrong way. The arena isn't the right

1460
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:38,439
so he stops on a dime, which is not great

1461
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,479
in the freeway, goes all the way over, and he's

1462
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:44,600
taken us to the very back of the arena when

1463
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,439
there was pretty easy. The direction, say, like, the name

1464
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:48,880
of the street where we want to get off is

1465
01:14:48,920 --> 01:14:51,359
called directs or drive name after Clyde Drects. Oh really yeah,

1466
01:14:53,159 --> 01:14:55,880
So so a normal ten minute drive at tops took

1467
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:59,359
twenty two to twenty three minutes. I gave Hims five stars,

1468
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,880
but I I did not give him a tip because

1469
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:03,640
I was not pleased with the fact that he was

1470
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,319
about to send us to Seattle. Chattle's lovely, but I

1471
01:15:06,359 --> 01:15:08,000
wasn't going there for a basketball game. I was going

1472
01:15:08,079 --> 01:15:12,119
to call a game in Portland. My my uber dropped

1473
01:15:12,199 --> 01:15:14,319
from four point nine zero to four point eight nine

1474
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,279
because of him not giving me a five stars. So

1475
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,560
to you who got lost in Portland and got pissed off.

1476
01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,960
I didn't give you a tip. Shit your bumass up, mate, Shit,

1477
01:15:24,039 --> 01:15:28,640
your bum ass up. Man. Maybe you were rude, Matt.

1478
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:31,359
I don't know. Maybe that's rude for a reason. Oh wait,

1479
01:15:32,199 --> 01:15:33,920
now you don't get five stars. You're being rude, Matty.

1480
01:15:34,239 --> 01:15:36,800
Wait a minute, you're you want a tip after going

1481
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,079
the wrong direction. I didn't say that, you're implying it. Hey,

1482
01:15:41,159 --> 01:15:43,199
nobody get tapped that. Thank you, Jonathan.

1483
01:15:44,279 --> 01:15:46,199
Speaker 4: Oh, Matt, I wouldn't even get him the five stars. Man,

1484
01:15:46,319 --> 01:15:46,920
you better than me.

1485
01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 2: I gave him five stars. No tip. Suck it be

1486
01:15:51,279 --> 01:15:53,239
dropping me from four point nine zero to four point

1487
01:15:53,239 --> 01:15:59,720
eight nine. That's a shame. I mean, Craig's out of

1488
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,239
this story. Oh, he would back me up. He was

1489
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,520
actually more ter. I was going to say, he probably

1490
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,479
be more angry. Oh, he was like, sorry, Do you

1491
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,680
feel like that's bad etiquette? If it's not your uber,

1492
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,239
don't get the editude. No, because I'm I'm trying to

1493
01:16:11,319 --> 01:16:12,960
keep my star rating up. That's what I'm saying. No,

1494
01:16:13,039 --> 01:16:15,119
that's what I'm saying. It's not you. I'm all right.

1495
01:16:15,279 --> 01:16:17,079
I was okay with it. No, man, if you're acting

1496
01:16:17,159 --> 01:16:19,119
up in my Uber. I'm gonna be mad at you though.

1497
01:16:19,319 --> 01:16:23,079
That's what I'm saying the wrong direction. My stars are

1498
01:16:23,159 --> 01:16:26,279
on the line. You got to keep you no you

1499
01:16:26,359 --> 01:16:29,319
know what, Joe Bomas, No way, So you'd rather drive

1500
01:16:29,319 --> 01:16:30,720
to say I don't keep your star rating up?

1501
01:16:30,760 --> 01:16:31,039
Speaker 3: All right?

1502
01:16:32,239 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 2: Say that. I'm saying, if it's your uber, it's your

1503
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:36,720
The onus is on you to say it because your

1504
01:16:36,760 --> 01:16:38,319
stars are on the line. I think I was so

1505
01:16:38,479 --> 01:16:41,600
stunned you to start acting crazy and then socking the

1506
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:43,319
driver in the mouth when it's not your stars on

1507
01:16:43,399 --> 01:16:45,399
the line. Would you like to tell me if well,

1508
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:48,079

01:16:48,159 --> 01:16:51,439
uber driver? No how we got one of our coworkers

1510
01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:54,000

01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,800
this on airon Okay, you're very rude. I wasn't rude.

1513
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,399
It was the story of all stares. It's gonna say,

1514
01:17:01,399 --> 01:17:03,119
I got some mouber stories for you. I know you

1515
01:17:03,319 --> 01:17:04,800

01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,279

dry uber. Could you give us some great uber stories?

1518
01:17:10,359 --> 01:17:13,520
Don't worry. What do you mean, don't worry it. That'd

1519
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:17,199
be too long. Stop. You're not going anywhere you would

1520
01:17:17,239 --> 01:17:20,640
be for life seven one three, two one two five

1521
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,279
seven udies. I'm gonna tell you how funny our business

1522
01:17:24,399 --> 01:17:27,039
is a little bit here. So we mentioned earlier today,

1523
01:17:27,039 --> 01:17:28,199
we're going to the phones in the second bid way

1524
01:17:28,199 --> 01:17:29,560
if you want to tell somebody to shut there by myself.

1525
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,840
By the way, I'm walking. I'm watching the the uh

1526
01:17:33,359 --> 01:17:36,000
TV version of the Pat mcafe show. He's got like

1527
01:17:36,079 --> 01:17:39,680
fifteen people on his show. No wonder, he's got all

1528
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,000

1533
01:17:52,319 --> 01:17:54,119
We get good guests, but we book our own guest.

1534
01:17:54,399 --> 01:17:57,640
That's true. We don't have like nineteen producers like Dan Patrick.

1535
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:00,720
Well good, Charles Parking command well yeah, because you're eighteen guests.

1536
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:06,119
Bug him to death, National Radio. Shut your bum ass up,

1540
01:18:21,359 --> 01:18:23,239
talk you about the Texans time search.

1541
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 3: Coach.

1542
01:18:25,159 --> 01:18:27,119
Speaker 2: Who is gonna be? Do you don't care? Do you

1543
01:18:27,159 --> 01:18:29,680
have any candidates for the Texans? Your name is Hey,

1544
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:31,720
what is his first name? Okay? What's his last name?

1545
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:38,199
I can't no, Okay, So we get this this service.

1546
01:18:38,319 --> 01:18:40,479
This dude named Jimmy Shapiro, I've known for a long time.

1547
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:42,560
He sends us out these odds and he wants us

1548
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:46,600
to publicize. Hit the website that's promoting these odds, Like,

1549
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,159
you can mention the website. If I'm not taking the odds,

1550
01:18:49,359 --> 01:18:52,239
we're not going ahead. I mean, we're using them. That's

1551
01:18:52,319 --> 01:18:54,239
his fault. You're using them for content. So I feel

1552
01:18:54,279 --> 01:18:56,399
like that's a courtesy. You could mention the web. No,

1553
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:59,119
I'm not courteous. Here we go. He has the odds

1554
01:19:00,079 --> 01:19:05,760
on the Jannist Kupo joining his next team. The favorite,

1555
01:19:05,920 --> 01:19:07,960
according to this website is the Houston Rockets at two

1556
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:12,680
to one. Really stop stop eleven thirty nine. That email

1557
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,800
came out, Okay. Tim McMahon ESPN ten minutes ago, says

1558
01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,600
the Houston Rockets will not be pursuing jan the Gonfo. Yeah,

1559
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:24,359
that makes sense. They're gonna stay with their core of

1560
01:19:24,479 --> 01:19:26,920
Kevin Durant, Aman Thompson and now brin Chinggun. My guess

1561
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:29,720
is the Bucks would want Shingoon and Thompson's part of

1562
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:36,720
the trade. Yeah, they're gonna want. Yeah. If you're Milwaukee,

1563
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,800
you're not training just for draft picks. You are looking

1564
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:44,079
to get stockpol current players. O Brinch, Shingoon, Milwaukee Buck

1565
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:46,479
fifteen to seventeen from the FLOIDA to night right was

1566
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:48,760
a fourteen to six alien missed two. You had thirty

1567
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:53,439
three points. Santi al Dama cooked. I think you and

1568
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:56,039
I could score against southe Aldama. I don't think I could.

1569
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:01,520
You don't try? No, all right seven one three two

1570
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:06,359
one two five seven dotty seven one three two sevendi,

1571
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,680
I said, ross. Finding some sports on he found a

1572
01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:13,359
replay of the Fordham Rams versus Virginia Commonwealth University. This

1573
01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:17,079
is live. Oh it's live women's basketball. I don't know

1574
01:20:17,119 --> 01:20:20,199
why Fordham VC is playing right now? Oh no, it isn't. No,

1575
01:20:20,279 --> 01:20:22,920
look it's live right there. Oh it is live. Yeah,

1576
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,000
that's true. Shut Joe mass up. So are you gonna

1577
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,159
watch Pat McAfee or no, I don't watch any part

1578
01:20:29,199 --> 01:20:32,640
of Matt McAfee. Zero zero zero zero zero zero baron

1579
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:36,600
pet back and Pat McAfee. Let's go to uh James

1580
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:40,800
on seventy James, what's the matter with you? Yeah, there's

1581
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:42,880
someone in this town that has the audocity to say,

1582
01:20:43,359 --> 01:20:45,319
if this isn't my team, I don't have a team

1583
01:20:45,359 --> 01:20:45,920
in the NFL.

1584
01:20:46,239 --> 01:20:48,239
Speaker 6: Do you have a team in the NFL? By default

1585
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,560
you have a major sports radio station. You don't have

1586
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:52,199
that choice.

1587
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:54,239
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no no no no no, no,

1588
01:20:54,319 --> 01:20:56,520
no no, that's not true at all. That's not true

1589
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:56,760
at all.

1590
01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:58,359
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no no.

1591
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:00,560
Speaker 2: I have a team that I have to talk about

1592
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,880
and enjoy talking about. Absolutely. I have a team to

1593
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,680
talk and thank god I do, because Rossie I did.

1594
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:07,640
About five years we didn't have a team. It's pretty

1595
01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:12,680
damn miserable. I think he's saying a fan, let the

1596
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:14,840
Oilers go, Matt, No, I have let them go. I

1597
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:16,520
have no team. I don't want to be a fan

1598
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:19,399
of any team. I want to be an observer. Yeah,

1599
01:21:19,399 --> 01:21:21,479
and frankly, for y'all, I need to be your insider.

1600
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,000
And there I've been battle red Ross for three years. Now,

1601
01:21:25,079 --> 01:21:28,119
are you enjoying it? I'm not gonna stop, but are

1602
01:21:28,119 --> 01:21:32,039
you enjoying it? I would say mostly yes. I like

1603
01:21:32,159 --> 01:21:35,680
having more skin in the game. It's more fun to

1604
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,359
watch the game and be more invested Because I was

1605
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:39,920
like you, and I was like, I don't care. I

1606
01:21:40,039 --> 01:21:43,159
used to honestly, frankly root against them. See y'all put

1607
01:21:43,279 --> 01:21:45,399
ords in my mouth. I didn't say I didn't care.

1608
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,000
I just don't have a rooting interest. Yeah, you're I

1609
01:21:48,199 --> 01:21:50,560
absolutely care about the Tell your Texans hater, Matt, No,

1610
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,960
I'm not on Texas realness, Matt. Okay, y'all need me.

1611
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,399
I don't need you. Yeah, the city because you have

1612
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,800
enough people blowing the team over there. I mean, it's ridiculous.

1613
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:04,680
But I can be a fan of team of a

1614
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,920
team and still talk about them, Jeff, you can do it.

1615
01:22:08,840 --> 01:22:15,920
So you need us observing talking about relevant guests. Do

1616
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:19,720
not getting into backup tight ends or tight end coach talk.

1617
01:22:20,119 --> 01:22:24,119
We can, we can, We can discuss the team responsibly.

1618
01:22:25,199 --> 01:22:28,199
Am I a fan of the Astros? Yes? Am I

1619
01:22:28,239 --> 01:22:29,960
a fan of the Cougars? Yes? Am I a fan

1620
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,199
of Rockets? Yes? My fandom can only go so deep

1621
01:22:34,159 --> 01:22:38,520
and I'm very comfortable in that. Okay, but I have

1622
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:42,720
we have a great, great passionate listeners that are fans

1623
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,800
of that team, and it's my responsibility to talk about

1624
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:49,640
your team when the time is appropriate, and that's why

1625
01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:54,199
we were doing Okay, But I don't need to be talking. No,

1626
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,000
I don't. You don't want me to come on the

1627
01:22:58,079 --> 01:23:00,960
radio and go there's no postable tell you that uh

1628
01:23:01,079 --> 01:23:04,239
CJ Stroud could be worse than the divisional playoff. That's

1629
01:23:04,279 --> 01:23:07,159
never gonna happen. That's my guy. Let the people that

1630
01:23:07,199 --> 01:23:11,640
are fired YouTube employees do that, okay, not me? H

1631
01:23:14,319 --> 01:23:18,000
what nothing? Hey, nobody get that for dead? Jonath, can

1632
01:23:18,039 --> 01:23:19,239
you respect this or you don't want to tell me

1633
01:23:19,279 --> 01:23:20,199
to shut my bomb ass up?

1634
01:23:21,199 --> 01:23:21,239
Speaker 3: No?

1635
01:23:21,359 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 2: I can see aside, though, thank you. I got enough.

1636
01:23:24,119 --> 01:23:26,199
Let me tell about I got a heartbreak. I got

1637
01:23:27,119 --> 01:23:30,880
forty years of University Houston heartbreak. Oh they got all

1638
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:33,960
the great final four runs man, exactly. I ain't got

1639
01:23:34,039 --> 01:23:39,119
no ring. I got uh Well, I mean I've been

1640
01:23:39,119 --> 01:23:40,720
a Rocket fans in some and then in the eighties,

1641
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:44,920
I had numerous playoff losses. I've had Damian Lillard to

1642
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,079
shove down my throat when it comes to those last

1643
01:23:47,119 --> 01:23:50,199
second shots. Excuse me. I had Larry Bird in the

1644
01:23:50,239 --> 01:23:54,800
eighty six Celtics. I had Seattle super Sonics in nineteen

1645
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:57,119
eighty three, beating my squad in seven. We'll already have

1646
01:23:57,279 --> 01:23:59,199
We'll always have the magic sweep. We got, we get

1647
01:23:59,199 --> 01:24:02,600
the magic sweep. We got the two championships, but I

1648
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:09,439
want more, and I'm Thurston for more championships. I got

1649
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,760
the astros are. We were in clinical depression mode when

1650
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:16,640
they were tied for the last Waldguard's body couldn't get in.

1651
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:22,960
The Texans will get there, okay. If they do, someday

1652
01:24:23,359 --> 01:24:26,279
I will root. I will be with you. Someday our

1653
01:24:26,319 --> 01:24:30,720
super Bowl will come. What year twenty thirty six? Case

1654
01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:33,239
you're saying that, if you're a Texan fan, all you

1655
01:24:33,319 --> 01:24:38,239
do is wait ten more years? Yeah, what's ten more?

1656
01:24:39,720 --> 01:24:42,239
You've already been through twenty? All right? We got the

1657
01:24:42,279 --> 01:24:44,840
news at noon. Next it is twelve o'clock on Sports

1658
01:24:44,880 --> 01:24:45,359
Talk seven.

1659
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,920
Speaker 1: Ninety's the Matt Thomas Show with.

1660
01:24:49,159 --> 01:24:56,600
Speaker 2: Ross twelve o seven on Sports Talk seven anywhere. I

1661
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:58,560
hit brakes on time, and that's my fault. I'll take

1662
01:24:58,600 --> 01:25:01,920
the loss on that one. Thank all of you for listening. Yeah,

1663
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:03,920
we're somewhat charged on the show today, but that's okay.

1664
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,079
ROSSI is busy in the newsroom giving us what we

1665
01:25:08,239 --> 01:25:09,920
like to call every day at twelve oh seven of

1666
01:25:09,960 --> 01:25:14,279
the news at twelve o seven, and with that we

1667
01:25:14,399 --> 01:25:18,279
go to the don't hurt yourself. I was just taking it.

1668
01:25:18,279 --> 01:25:19,640
I can't even think of the name of the anchors

1669
01:25:19,640 --> 01:25:22,840
of the World News today anymore, like David Muir, Maybe sure,

1670
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,640
why not? I don't wantch the news. Go ahead. You

1671
01:25:25,720 --> 01:25:28,840
know what you are. You're you're the uh, there's the

1672
01:25:28,960 --> 01:25:32,000
latest murder happening. You're the Wolf Blitzer of Houston Sports News.

1673
01:25:32,039 --> 01:25:34,000
I'm to bury my head in this end, because ignorance

1674
01:25:34,079 --> 01:25:36,399
is bliss when it comes to the news. That's fair, Hi, Ross.

1675
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 9: Hey.

1676
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:43,159
Speaker 2: Matt Bell Belichick not a first ballot Hall of Famer.

1677
01:25:45,399 --> 01:25:48,880
According to reports, he fell short of the forty out

1678
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:51,720
of fifty votes needed for induction into the Pro Football

1679
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:56,439
Hall of Fame during his first year of eligibility. Four

1680
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:00,880
sources have told ESPN he received a call from a

1681
01:26:00,960 --> 01:26:02,960
representative on Friday with the news he would not be

1682
01:26:03,039 --> 01:26:09,520
inducted in Canton, Ohio this summer. Bill Pelichick, according to

1683
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:13,560
sources asking an associate six super bowls isn't enough, of course,

1684
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,279
one two more as a defensive coordinator of the New

1685
01:26:15,359 --> 01:26:19,359
York Giants. Another associate saying, what does a guy have

1686
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:23,279
to do? A source familiar with Belichick's thinking said politics

1687
01:26:23,359 --> 01:26:25,199
kept him out. He doesn't believe this is a reflection

1688
01:26:25,319 --> 01:26:28,640
of his accomplishments. Well, no, deah, a guy with eight

1689
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:31,680
super Bowls isn't first ballot Hall of Fame. Of course.

1690
01:26:32,359 --> 01:26:34,840
Sounds like there could have been some freezing out. And

1691
01:26:34,960 --> 01:26:37,600
Bill Pollian mentioned as a member of a guy as

1692
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,119
somebody who was the leader of the Freezer Committee, leader

1693
01:26:40,199 --> 01:26:43,000
of the freezou Committee, encouraging people to not vote him

1694
01:26:43,000 --> 01:26:46,000
in because of Spygate. Of course, lest we forget the

1695
01:26:46,119 --> 01:26:49,239
flight Gate allegations by the Buffalo Bills in twenty ten,

1696
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,920
allegations by the Cincinnati Bengals in twenty nineteen, there was

1697
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:56,279
a pattern of activity. Now, if he would have not

1698
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:59,760
gotten in because he's a jerk, that would have been different. Agree,

1699
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:02,720
because there's a lot of jerks that get in right down,

1700
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:06,560
I Brik Jeff Kent. But no, this was to me

1701
01:27:07,119 --> 01:27:13,319
was more about there's some blemishes, not sores, but blemishes

1702
01:27:13,399 --> 01:27:16,079
on the resume because of the things you just discussed,

1703
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,239
and I am maybe do you think part of it

1704
01:27:19,399 --> 01:27:22,760
is people are afraid to say what you and I

1705
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:25,520
are saying that we get it for a year that

1706
01:27:25,720 --> 01:27:29,079
maybe they know because I can't find it's universal and

1707
01:27:29,159 --> 01:27:33,239
the passion for people on this is incredible. I mean Lebron, James,

1708
01:27:33,359 --> 01:27:37,720
Pat Mahomes, all sorts of people. Look, I do want

1709
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,279
to tell you that Bill Belichick is the greatest coach

1710
01:27:40,359 --> 01:27:45,680
of all time. Yes, the sixth Super Bowl absolutely is.

1711
01:27:48,199 --> 01:27:53,880
But and I guess the question then becomes is everybody's

1712
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,279
resume is supposed to be perfect to be a first

1713
01:27:56,359 --> 01:28:01,479
ballad guy. I think if he was to have several

1714
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,760
ten lost seasons, that wouldn't preclude me from saying he's

1715
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,600
the best coach. Ever, I do believe if you're involved

1716
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:10,000
in spygate that does kind of make it a little

1717
01:28:10,039 --> 01:28:14,039
bit of a difficult. Oh my god, he's perfect. It's

1718
01:28:14,039 --> 01:28:17,000
a blight on the resume. It's a blemish, it's a blemish.

1719
01:28:17,359 --> 01:28:20,359
It's a big blemish. Honestly, as I said, people forget

1720
01:28:20,399 --> 01:28:23,399
because I know it's been twenty years, have a major scandal,

1721
01:28:23,439 --> 01:28:25,039
and then for years they didn't make a Super Bowl,

1722
01:28:25,079 --> 01:28:27,119
and people thought that was the reason why there are

1723
01:28:27,199 --> 01:28:30,039
reports that up to forty games, possibly they were doing

1724
01:28:30,119 --> 01:28:32,560
this spygate stuff. And I'm not ready to say that

1725
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,720
because there's no evidence of that, but there has certainly

1726
01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:38,199
been implications. And look, we know the NFL likes to

1727
01:28:38,279 --> 01:28:42,159
hide stuff. They don't want their charmed NFL franchise with

1728
01:28:42,279 --> 01:28:45,319
this charmed coach being involved in this, then they're gonna

1729
01:28:45,359 --> 01:28:48,359
put some things under the rug. All I'm saying is

1730
01:28:49,319 --> 01:28:53,760
he's getting in. He's fantastic. I wouldn't have done it,

1731
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,399
but I could see ten people in a room of

1732
01:28:56,479 --> 01:29:00,319
fifty saying, yeah, not great. I'm gonna make a way year.

1733
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:02,279
And it has nothing new with jose Al two bay

1734
01:29:02,279 --> 01:29:05,079
because in my mind, and maybe I'm wrong because I

1735
01:29:05,199 --> 01:29:07,840
wasn't in the clubhouse shut. I know what's going on

1736
01:29:07,880 --> 01:29:10,520
with the doors was shut. But from everything that has

1737
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,119
been chronicled over the last handful of years about this

1738
01:29:13,359 --> 01:29:15,920
entire thing, there's been one name that has not been

1739
01:29:16,159 --> 01:29:19,239
associated with the spy except for the stupid buzzer thing,

1740
01:29:19,319 --> 01:29:24,039
but that was more about John Boy. It was Joseel Tube.

1741
01:29:24,359 --> 01:29:26,520
So Josel Twoba should not have to wear this like

1742
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:29,439
Bill Belichick, cleoly should wear this. Comparing a head coach

1743
01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:32,199
and a player who didn't participate in a scandal is

1744
01:29:32,239 --> 01:29:35,680
two different things. And also Moselle Tuove might have to

1745
01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:38,119
wait a year or who knows how long. We'll sound

1746
01:29:38,119 --> 01:29:39,800
it mad and I'll be mad. But I don't want

1747
01:29:39,800 --> 01:29:41,439
you guys call and say you guys are hypocrites because

1748
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:41,960
there's a difference.

1749
01:29:42,079 --> 01:29:42,319
Speaker 3: There is.

1750
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,399
Speaker 2: There's absolutely a difference. And also the threshold is higher here.

1751
01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:48,079
He Bill Belichicks needs eighty percent, jose Al tuv needs

1752
01:29:48,119 --> 01:29:52,399
seventy five. So different different votes, I mean a lot

1753
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,359
more voters, et cetera. Yeah, what else you got elsewhere

1754
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:56,600
in the news?

1755
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:57,039
Speaker 1: Mad?

1756
01:29:57,199 --> 01:30:02,920
Speaker 2: The Browns have hired Todd Mounkin, young age of fifty

1757
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:07,960
Wait what Yeah, he'll turn sixty in a week. He

1758
01:30:08,119 --> 01:30:10,279
is the new head coach of the Cleveland Browns. He

1759
01:30:10,439 --> 01:30:13,880
was the former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator. He was supposed

1760
01:30:13,920 --> 01:30:17,640
to be the offensive coordinator under John Harbaugh, who is

1761
01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:20,479
with the New York Giants. However, he has been hired

1762
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:25,159
away by the Cleveland Browns. We've been looking for a

1763
01:30:25,239 --> 01:30:27,880
coach for a while. A number of marquee names bowing

1764
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:33,079
out of the running, and now they go with Todd Mounkin. Interesting,

1765
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:38,479
Todd Mounkin, good offensive coach. They couldn't find anybody seems

1766
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:41,279
like it. I mean, where are the Raiders looking? I mean,

1767
01:30:41,319 --> 01:30:45,439
this is the thing, though, if you're firing seven coaches

1768
01:30:45,479 --> 01:30:48,600
a year, there's not seven head coaches who are going

1769
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:51,119
to be the next big thing. It's just not possible.

1770
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,239
And you're turning it over and over and over. So

1771
01:30:54,399 --> 01:30:56,439
you're talking about every two years you're looking for like

1772
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:59,439
ten to twelve new head coaches. How many of those

1773
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:01,000
guys are going to be the next great thing and

1774
01:31:01,399 --> 01:31:04,439
be highly successful? And when Super Bowls, No, this badge

1775
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:06,680
of turning is probably gonna be four, five will be

1776
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:08,279
fire within two or three years. You're just gonna keep

1777
01:31:08,319 --> 01:31:10,359
churning and churning and churning and churning and churning and

1778
01:31:10,439 --> 01:31:13,720
looking for that next big thing. Yep. Iman Cleveland Browns

1779
01:31:13,720 --> 01:31:15,199
have been part of that. They fired a two time

1780
01:31:15,279 --> 01:31:18,479
AP Head Coach of the Year, Kevin Stefanski, got immediately

1781
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:22,439
hired by the Atlanta Falcons and hates Baker Mayfield. Actually,

1782
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:24,319
he didn't want to call out Baker Mayfield. He said,

1783
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,159
I wish Baker the best. That's what he said publicly anyways.

1784
01:31:29,439 --> 01:31:34,960
And one more thing. According to Sham Sharania, Matthew Yannas

1785
01:31:35,199 --> 01:31:43,079
Attento Koumpo is ready to exit the Milwaukee Bucks. He

1786
01:31:43,239 --> 01:31:44,800
is ready for a new home. This is according to

1787
01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:47,439
Shams in the article. Several teams have made aggressive offers

1788
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,079
to the Milwaukee Bucks, who are starting to listen. League

1789
01:31:50,159 --> 01:31:54,680
sources have told Sham Sharania and ESPN multiple teams have

1790
01:31:54,800 --> 01:31:57,159
received a sense that the Bucks are more open than ever.

1791
01:31:58,159 --> 01:32:01,279
Two offers for Yanas the Kumpo so seven seasons in

1792
01:32:01,319 --> 01:32:05,399
a row, Matt First Team All NBA, thirty one years old,

1793
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:09,399
Tim mcmahony ESPN says Rockets not interested in making such

1794
01:32:09,399 --> 01:32:15,880
an acquisition. Golden State might be involving Jimmy Butler, John

1795
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:19,800
than kaminga and a I'm sure a plethora of draft picks.

1796
01:32:22,319 --> 01:32:24,920
Bobby Marx has put out an article with ESPN and

1797
01:32:25,039 --> 01:32:28,000
say outlining every team in what they could possibly offer

1798
01:32:28,079 --> 01:32:30,079
for you, honess, Oh, this is interesting and we'll have

1799

of Ohio women's basketball leading Northern Illinois forty three to

1804
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:51,640
twenty seven. Yeah, I would make a dollar bet, but

1805
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:54,279
it's uh, it's looking like Ohio's gonna take this one.

1806
01:32:54,319 --> 01:32:58,680
The RedHawks. Heice little arena. I mean it's not folder's

1807
01:32:58,760 --> 01:33:03,960
like seventy five people there, but it's nice. A lot

1808
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:08,279
of bleacher seats there at Northern Illinois. You've aged Broya

1809
01:33:08,279 --> 01:33:13,479
the way taken on the hated TCU Hornfrogs tonight over

1810
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:18,880
on nine fifty Cougars horn Frogs basketball. It's fine. Dropped

1811
01:33:18,880 --> 01:33:21,600
the Cougar dropped a number ten hoskm palm treating us.

1812
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:22,920
By the way, how did they drop the ten?

1813
01:33:23,159 --> 01:33:23,239
Speaker 3: Oh?

1814
01:33:23,279 --> 01:33:26,000
Speaker 2: Because they want a tech? Yes? How I mean, look,

1815
01:33:26,079 --> 01:33:28,079
tech's good. It was it was in Lubbick. We should

1816
01:33:28,079 --> 01:33:29,960
all right, mister kin palm hater a week ago.

1817
01:33:30,119 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1818
01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:34,399
Speaker 2: What do we got? They got him seven and say seven? Okay,

1819
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,840
I'll take seven. That's too seen the tournament. I'm okay

1820
01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:42,279
with that. Yeah, that's good. Reservation Stiller, So I gotta

1821
01:33:42,279 --> 01:33:45,399
find a hotel room next thirty six. Baby, they're in

1822
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:47,239
the fifties earlier in the year. You gotta get to

1823
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:51,640
twenty five or higher. No, they don't. Well, problem is

1824
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:53,760
not problem. The good thing is SEC is going to

1825
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:55,760
give you a bunch of the Every game you play

1826
01:33:55,880 --> 01:33:57,880
is gonna be a great quality with Dog's at Auburn

1827
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,640
today tonight that game not here on seven, honey, obviously

1828
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:04,520
because we have the we have the rock ktr H

1829
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:08,079
or something. Because you said the Cougars are playing Cougars

1830
01:34:08,079 --> 01:34:11,680
are nine fifty's probably want ktr H for the Rockets tonight.

1831
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1832
01:34:11,920 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 2: We got Craig Way on Sonny. I think I believe

1833
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:16,720
Craig is up with doing the game with Rod Ryan

1834
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:19,000
on ninety four point five of us. That's awesome, all right,

1835
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:24,720
So Chile, I believe there's well Chili is doing. So. Yeah.

1836
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:30,760
We crack ourselves up, all right. Anyway, we're not very funny.

1837
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,319
We understand it. We understand that. If you if you

1838
01:34:33,399 --> 01:34:36,319
want to criticize the show saying these guys think they're funny,

1839
01:34:36,600 --> 01:34:45,960
I know, speak for yourself. Texas thirty seven of twenty nigh.

1840
01:34:48,319 --> 01:34:51,159
All right, so, uh, you had a member of the

1841
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:54,159
ESPN team tell us what every team would have to

1842
01:34:54,159 --> 01:34:58,039
give up to get Giannis. Yes, Bobby Marks wrote an

1843
01:34:58,199 --> 01:35:02,520
article and outlined all twenty nine teams what can they

1844
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,840
offer and he also rated the difficulty of getting a

1845
01:35:06,039 --> 01:35:11,239
deal done between one and ten. For example, Pistons, he

1846
01:35:11,399 --> 01:35:13,000
put the Pistons out of two out of ten. They

1847
01:35:13,039 --> 01:35:16,039
have a bunch of contract picks, et cetera, et cetera.

1848
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,439
So for a difficulty for the Houston Rockets, he said

1849
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,640
it is a seven out of ten, as in, it

1850
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,399
would be pretty difficult for the two teams to make

1851
01:35:25,439 --> 01:35:30,159
a deal. Rockets have a valuable twenty twenty seven swap

1852
01:35:30,239 --> 01:35:36,520
with Brooklyn unprotected first round pick from Phoenix. While the

1853
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:42,279
draft picks are enticing, Bucks would almost certainly circle amen

1854
01:35:43,079 --> 01:35:47,000
A men Thompson as a player they can build around

1855
01:35:47,159 --> 01:35:53,000
in the wake of losing Atento Kumbo. So they mentioned

1856
01:35:53,039 --> 01:35:56,399
the first round picks and just kind of outlines the

1857
01:35:56,479 --> 01:35:59,920
contracts and says a Men Thompson and probably picks would

1858
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:02,239
be have to be part of the deal. Seven out

1859
01:36:02,239 --> 01:36:06,399
of ten. Difficulty of the deal getting done with the

1860
01:36:06,479 --> 01:36:09,920
Houston Rockets. Let me tell you this, and look, you've

1861
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:14,039
been around the team. You know when the trade winds

1862
01:36:14,079 --> 01:36:16,319
are blowing. I feel like we do that with the

1863
01:36:16,399 --> 01:36:20,399
Astros that you have to sometimes read the context clues

1864
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:24,479
that Dana Brown would give you. Now, now Dana speaks

1865
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,159
a lot more than Rafel. The revel is very few interviews,

1866
01:36:28,079 --> 01:36:29,960
not that he wouldn't do him. It just you don't

1867
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:32,680
go to a general manager for basketball as much as

1868
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:34,520
you go to a general manager in baseball because that

1869
01:36:34,840 --> 01:36:39,760
twenty six man roster is constantly changing with updat call

1870
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:43,960
ups and injuries and injured list football general managers, some

1871
01:36:44,039 --> 01:36:46,359
guys are really forthcoming and talk a lot. Some guys

1872
01:36:46,399 --> 01:36:50,600
don't talk at all. Our general manager for the baseball

1873
01:36:50,640 --> 01:36:52,800
team does a weekly segment. So I mean it's it's

1874
01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:56,119
just so when I hear Dana speak, I kind of

1875
01:36:56,119 --> 01:36:58,039
get the vibe of, well, he doesn't sound like he

1876
01:36:58,119 --> 01:37:00,600
wants to do anything, or man, he's really looking to

1877
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,439
do something. It's hard to read the room on on

1878
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,399
Rafel because he doesn't do a lot of those interviews.

1879
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:09,079
And I generally speaking, when you hear Rafel speak about

1880
01:37:09,119 --> 01:37:12,920
the team, he likes what he has, he does, and

1881
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,000
they also don't have a whole lot of wiggle room. Yeah,

1882
01:37:15,119 --> 01:37:18,479
as they're I think it's under a Actually it says

1883
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:23,680
it here. Let me go back. They're one point twenty

1884
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:27,720
five million from the apron, so I mean the the

1885
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,600
wiggle room, uh is one point two five million below

1886
01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:34,039
the first apron hard capped. That's what it says for

1887
01:37:34,079 --> 01:37:36,439
apron status for the for the Rockets. And if you'd

1888
01:37:36,479 --> 01:37:39,279
like to know what an apron status means, I listened

1889
01:37:39,319 --> 01:37:40,960
to the A team with Wex and Clinton don't want

1890
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,159
to be near the apron. Let's just you split that way.

1891
01:37:43,239 --> 01:37:48,079
It's a heavy tax, it's a big mess. So it

1892
01:37:48,279 --> 01:37:50,720
doesn't seem like it's likely. And then you mentioned Tim McMahon,

1893
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:54,079
who has been pretty good reporting Rockets. Teems good. Yeah,

1894
01:37:54,239 --> 01:37:58,760
I would trust him. Yeah, said that, Uh, they're not

1895
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:02,159
interested involving getting involved because they know that either Opera

1896
01:38:02,560 --> 01:38:04,840
or men would be a part of it. Now, there's

1897
01:38:04,840 --> 01:38:07,199
another trade out there that has says the Rockets will

1898
01:38:07,199 --> 01:38:09,680
be kicking the tires on Kobe White and apparently Tarre

1899
01:38:09,720 --> 01:38:11,640
Eastan's on their radar, and the Rockets have said no

1900
01:38:11,720 --> 01:38:13,760
to that day. You know, sometimes you just like your

1901
01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:18,520
guys and the question is do you have enough in

1902
01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:20,439
the regular season Oklahoma City is going to be the

1903
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:22,640
number one seed on pace for that. Its again, but

1904
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:24,800
there are some people in the basketball world, whether you

1905
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:26,800
trust them or not. And it's not me saying it,

1906
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:28,800
it's other people that are saying that are saying that, Hey,

1907
01:38:29,199 --> 01:38:32,279
if there's any team that's built for a long series,

1908
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:39,000
because playoff series are more physical and more half court

1909
01:38:39,239 --> 01:38:41,079
and not run up and down mcfort up and down,

1910
01:38:41,359 --> 01:38:44,199
it might be the Rockets of a better chance of

1911
01:38:44,520 --> 01:38:46,840
being a team like Oklahoma City or Denver than maybe

1912
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:48,479
anybody else in the West. And that could be just

1913
01:38:48,520 --> 01:38:50,520
because you're a Rocket fanboy and you're looking at Rocket

1914
01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:53,439
based websites, or it could be the case of, hey,

1915
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,399
just because you make a trade doesn't necessarily get you

1916
01:38:56,920 --> 01:39:00,359
over the top, especially for giving up stuff, because if

1917
01:39:00,359 --> 01:39:02,960
you go get Yiannis, you're giving up something that has

1918
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,680
helped you get to twelve games about five hundred a

1919
01:39:06,840 --> 01:39:11,479
one for one swap this year because picks in the

1920
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:14,439
future and all that other stuff don't matter. I know,

1921
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,319
we love him in Thompson, but your team is way

1922
01:39:17,399 --> 01:39:19,840
way better. You have no point guard though, if you

1923
01:39:19,960 --> 01:39:23,760
trade him in. Jannis is a point guard. Nis is

1924
01:39:23,800 --> 01:39:25,800
more of a point guard than amn Thompson is I

1925
01:39:25,880 --> 01:39:27,720
would disagree with that. Who's got more? Let's check their

1926
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,359
assist numbers. I don't need the assist numbers if I

1927
01:39:30,479 --> 01:39:32,880
want dribbling up the ball up the floor, Yiannis or

1928
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:35,720
a man? I'm gonna take a man? Really? Yeah? Now

1929
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:37,960
does Giannis have more of an offensive game? Is he

1930
01:39:38,039 --> 01:39:40,760
moving the ball around? Yes? Is he scoring? Is he downhill? Yes?

1931
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:44,119
You're not. You're not. You're not bringing thee You're not

1932
01:39:44,199 --> 01:39:48,760
bringing you out of their turnover numbers, uh, Jannis is

1933
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:52,840
at three point three turnovers, okay, five point seven six assists.

1934
01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,159
I thought he'd be higher than that. No, I no,

1935
01:39:56,279 --> 01:39:57,960
I can't know. There would be no, it would be

1936
01:39:58,039 --> 01:40:00,800
it would be this. This team is already people are

1937
01:40:01,119 --> 01:40:03,359
climbering for Fred van Vlee because the rocket On have enough.

1938
01:40:03,399 --> 01:40:05,039
I mean, you'd have to if you did that, you

1939
01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:08,000
did to move, reed Shepherd of sorrying lineup. A Men

1940
01:40:08,239 --> 01:40:11,399
is at two point five turnovers, so fewer turnovers and

1941
01:40:11,720 --> 01:40:14,279
slightly fewer assists five points. Who's just bringing the ball

1942
01:40:14,359 --> 01:40:16,880
up more in a game? Giannis or a men? I

1943
01:40:16,880 --> 01:40:19,920
don't know. I don't know. I meant can bring up,

1944
01:40:20,119 --> 01:40:21,680
we can bring up. But Yeah, Gianis can bring the

1945
01:40:21,720 --> 01:40:23,479
ball up farve youre a number of times, though the

1946
01:40:23,600 --> 01:40:26,640
more chances, the more susceptibly are to turnovers, and he's

1947
01:40:26,640 --> 01:40:29,279
got a lower turnover count. I mean, look, I love Giannis,

1948
01:40:29,319 --> 01:40:30,840
but Yannis is not going to bring up the ball

1949
01:40:31,239 --> 01:40:33,159
up and down the floor fifty times a game. He's

1950
01:40:33,199 --> 01:40:35,079
been the de facto point he was the de facto

1951
01:40:35,119 --> 01:40:40,039
point guard on their championship team because a men is

1952
01:40:40,119 --> 01:40:42,319
not a true point guard either. Both of them are

1953
01:40:42,399 --> 01:40:44,479
not a true point guards and one of them scoring

1954
01:40:44,520 --> 01:40:46,800
thirty points per game and one is scoring eighteen. Again,

1955
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:48,600
I'm not trying to compete. I'm not putting the same

1956
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:51,600
category in terms of offense, but in terms of ball handling.

1957
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,439
Not that Giannis is bad. I'm just putting that pressure

1958
01:40:54,439 --> 01:40:55,800
on him. You're telling me I got to put the

1959
01:40:55,840 --> 01:40:58,000
ball in his hand, bring up down the court over

1960
01:40:58,079 --> 01:40:59,760
and over again, and score thirty two points for me.

1961
01:40:59,800 --> 01:41:03,319
Again him, that's what he's the other Dogsander does that.

1962
01:41:03,399 --> 01:41:07,479
That's about it. Who who is the great point guard

1963
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:09,760
on the current Milwaukee Bus was Drew Hollida during their

1964
01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,680
championship run, right, yeah, but he? I mean, who is

1965
01:41:12,760 --> 01:41:15,119
it now? I don't I don't know. I don't even know.

1966
01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:20,479
Not Kyle Kuzma. No, no, these are this is a

1967
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:23,079
good conversation. I'm not I'm not arguing his value. You

1968
01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:26,239
can initiate offense with Giannis just as much as with

1969
01:41:26,359 --> 01:41:30,239
Amen Thompson. I don't have a problem with that. I

1970
01:41:30,279 --> 01:41:32,439
don't see because you've got Alprin shinggun and Kevin Durant

1971
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:34,680
bringing up the ball too. It's not like he's gonna

1972
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,159
be It's not like he's gonna be floor Jennery and

1973
01:41:36,199 --> 01:41:37,840
I asking to be Fred van Vleet. You're asking to

1974
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:43,359
be a piece of the puzzle. Who's who's gonna guard

1975
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:49,680
really talented point guards? Uh, I don't know. I guess

1976
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:54,960
you could we go with Tarry. Yeah, this is you know, Frankly,

1977
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:57,479
I think Rossie, this is mute mood. I just they're

1978
01:41:57,520 --> 01:42:01,439
saying that I'm interested and a man is this And

1979
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:03,119
I know you and I have argued about this before.

1980
01:42:03,359 --> 01:42:06,199
I think a men's the closest untouchable as Rocket franchise has.

1981
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:08,319
I would agree with you if you can shoot three pointers,

1982
01:42:10,119 --> 01:42:12,439
it's only needs because you know it's turnover counts. Dropping

1983
01:42:12,520 --> 01:42:14,880
it is let's take a time out. Come back and

1984
01:42:14,960 --> 01:42:18,800
take to some phone calls. We'll go to Caeso and

1985
01:42:18,960 --> 01:42:24,560
Frank twelve thirty Here on Sports Talk seven ninety twelve

1986
01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:26,640
thirty three, Matt in Ross with you. We're gonna eat

1987
01:42:26,640 --> 01:42:30,159
Man Dooka coming up at one thirty ROSSI and I

1988
01:42:30,199 --> 01:42:33,319
will be down in spring training in about three weeks,

1989
01:42:33,439 --> 01:42:38,640
give or take Little West Palm Action Astros twenty twenty six.

1990
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:40,880
I still think they got to get rid of the

1991
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:44,159
infielder spot, but man, those trade winds are certainly very

1992
01:42:44,239 --> 01:42:50,159
quiet right now for the extra infielder. I hope, I

1993
01:42:50,279 --> 01:42:54,159
hope that that's what they want to do. Everything that's

1994
01:42:54,199 --> 01:42:56,439
been told is if they're gonna move e SoC Predas,

1995
01:42:56,479 --> 01:42:58,560
which will be the easier the two components to move,

1996
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:01,359
and as compared to Christian Walker, they wanted ready made

1997
01:43:01,640 --> 01:43:03,880
player to win this year, as compared to going to

1998
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:06,439
get prospects. You're not treating east Sock Predas for a

1999
01:43:06,520 --> 01:43:11,560
couple of high end REDS double A players. It's a

2000
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:18,239
very difficult line to tow for Dana Brown when now,

2001
01:43:18,720 --> 01:43:20,720
oh by the way, build up the farm system. Oh

2002
01:43:20,800 --> 01:43:22,439
by the way, stay as much as you can as

2003
01:43:22,439 --> 01:43:26,359
a luxury tax. A difficult job I think, honestly, he

2004
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:29,039
probably has a little a little bit. I think it's

2005
01:43:29,079 --> 01:43:33,399
got way more pressure than Joe does. Dana. Yeah, really, yeah.

2006
01:43:33,680 --> 01:43:35,479
I think they're both on the hot I mean they're

2007
01:43:35,520 --> 01:43:38,039
both a warm seat. They're not on hot seats. So

2008
01:43:38,159 --> 01:43:40,439
let's put this well. But I say both are warm

2009
01:43:40,479 --> 01:43:42,600
because clearly, in the last year of a contract, I

2010
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:52,760
think Dana's is warmer. I have them equally warm because

2011
01:43:52,760 --> 01:43:55,359
I think I think because of what I just outlined,

2012
01:43:56,600 --> 01:43:58,319
I think Jim knows what Dana is being asked to

2013
01:43:58,319 --> 01:44:00,319
do is very difficult because Jim is stepped in and said, hey,

2014
01:44:00,399 --> 01:44:02,560
make this Verlander trade. As far as we know, right,

2015
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:04,079
we don't know for a one hundred percent fact, but

2016
01:44:04,199 --> 01:44:06,520
Jim has basically stepped in and said, hey do this, Hey,

2017
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:09,680
go ahead and trade away these prospects for Jason justin Verlander,

2018
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:11,800
go ahead and do whatever you can to get a starter.

2019
01:44:11,920 --> 01:44:14,279
And you say, Kakuchi, go whatever, do whatever you can

2020
01:44:14,359 --> 01:44:16,239
to make all these other deals at the trade deadline.

2021
01:44:16,239 --> 01:44:18,600
But you're also sings he's saying I'm protecting you and

2022
01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:21,000
he's not. And Jim's one I'm not saying he's protecting

2023
01:44:21,079 --> 01:44:22,760
But if if Jim makes the call, he needs to

2024
01:44:22,800 --> 01:44:25,079
be giving some sort of semblance of protection. Let me

2025
01:44:25,119 --> 01:44:26,920
take you if he says trade You ever heard of

2026
01:44:27,000 --> 01:44:28,720
a boss make a decision at the office saying, man,

2027
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,680
if this is a workout, I get it, I got you. No,

2028
01:44:30,840 --> 01:44:33,560
that changes all the time. It happens not very often.

2029
01:44:35,119 --> 01:44:37,479
We're making this decision putting you in this spot. We

2030
01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:39,079
think it's the best, and if it doesn't work out,

2031
01:44:39,079 --> 01:44:41,479
we'll put you back. No, I think guys lose jobs

2032
01:44:42,319 --> 01:44:44,720
that I want Verlander back at all costs, and if

2033
01:44:44,760 --> 01:44:47,359
it costs us a little bit, I'll take care of you.

2034
01:44:48,039 --> 01:44:50,000
Because it hasn't been a disaster. He doesn't taking he

2035
01:44:50,039 --> 01:44:51,680
didn't take care of yet it was gonna extension. How

2036
01:44:51,720 --> 01:44:54,800
many lads true? I mean, I know, yeah, I don't.

2037
01:44:54,840 --> 01:44:58,680
I don't think Jim works that way. I just think

2038
01:44:58,720 --> 01:45:00,560
it's and then it's a tough. Then you know what

2039
01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,079
you're asking, Dana do would do an impossible job. If

2040
01:45:03,079 --> 01:45:05,319
you're saying we're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna, I'm gonna

2041
01:45:05,359 --> 01:45:07,760
force you to trade away all these prospects and then

2042
01:45:07,760 --> 01:45:09,359
I'm gonna hold your feet to the fire. When the

2043
01:45:09,399 --> 01:45:13,720
farm system is enupsis enough. I think that's ridiculous. It's

2044
01:45:13,760 --> 01:45:16,319
a tough ask, but the reality is how I mean

2045
01:45:16,399 --> 01:45:19,039
teams fire both their general manager and their manager in

2046
01:45:19,079 --> 01:45:22,600
their same year. That's rare. It's happened rare, but I

2047
01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:27,520
don't have an example. I think it would be if

2048
01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:29,239
Dana was to lose his job, bring a new general

2049
01:45:29,279 --> 01:45:31,640
manager and let him evaluate how his relationship with Joe

2050
01:45:31,640 --> 01:45:33,720
and then make the decision after that. Frankly, I like

2051
01:45:33,840 --> 01:45:36,000
them both. I don't want look Joe and I we

2052
01:45:36,199 --> 01:45:38,119
all get along. Gravy a great visit with him on Saturday,

2053
01:45:38,159 --> 01:45:39,800
and whether we have great visits or not, as a

2054
01:45:39,880 --> 01:45:42,760
matter off, it's a performance. But I think both of guys.

2055
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,359
I think Dana tries to be as forthcoming as he can.

2056
01:45:48,079 --> 01:45:52,279
That doesn't mean that's the job requirement. I think.

2057
01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:53,720
Speaker 3: Uh.

2058
01:45:54,159 --> 01:45:59,119
Speaker 2: I think Dana outlast Joe will good feeling, I will

2059
01:45:59,159 --> 01:46:02,840
flip it foot fire turn. I feel like I'm mile

2060
01:46:02,880 --> 01:46:04,560
of there for a second. Let's go to the phone.

2061
01:46:04,600 --> 01:46:06,840
You don't have to bet on this, right. I love

2062
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:08,439
them both. We got so many bets. I want them

2063
01:46:08,479 --> 01:46:11,039
both here for decades, and selfishly I want them both

2064
01:46:11,079 --> 01:46:13,319
to be here. Yes and that's and I don't and

2065
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,159
it's uncomfortable for us to talk about a person's future.

2066
01:46:16,680 --> 01:46:18,920
Yeah on the air. I just think it is a

2067
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:22,760
question people will talk about. In general. General managers are

2068
01:46:22,800 --> 01:46:26,680
going to get more time than man and in your

2069
01:46:27,159 --> 01:46:30,199
to back your point a little bit, you did ask

2070
01:46:30,279 --> 01:46:32,000
him to go improve the system, and then every time

2071
01:46:32,039 --> 01:46:33,560
you went to try to improve the system, you had

2072
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:37,199
to go back to the system. Uh Yanik has to

2073
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,439
eventually be the catcher of this team pretty damn soon.

2074
01:46:40,119 --> 01:46:42,399
Rice Matthews needs to be a major leaguer. All your

2075
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:45,720
top prospects are recent Dana Brown draft picks. But also

2076
01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:49,159
it's not like your stuff. I think I think Baseball

2077
01:46:49,159 --> 01:46:51,600
America had zero in the top one hundred for the Astros.

2078
01:46:52,039 --> 01:46:54,960
It's terrible. Okay, so good afternoon, friend, what's going on?

2079
01:46:56,479 --> 01:46:59,760
Speaker 6: Good afternoon, guys. I just wanted to quickly brush up.

2080
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:03,039
Only you guys are talking about between me and my friends.

2081
01:47:03,119 --> 01:47:07,760
Everyone knows I am a noted Janni's hater, sending back

2082
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:10,640
to the Harden days and even goes into the Milwaukee

2083
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:14,039
and the Milwaukee haters. Nothing cool about Milwaukee or Wisconsin.

2084
01:47:14,079 --> 01:47:16,039
Would never want to go there. And if you take

2085
01:47:16,039 --> 01:47:18,680
a look at their roster. Who would have think it'd

2086
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:21,600
be a good idea to have. I mean, I'm not

2087
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:26,720
gonna deny Janna's star capability, but why would anyone think

2088
01:47:26,840 --> 01:47:32,560
having KPJ, Kyle Kuzma, sending Damian Lillard home, eating that contract,

2089
01:47:32,920 --> 01:47:35,600
and then oh, also hiring Doc Rivers would be a

2090
01:47:35,680 --> 01:47:37,560
recipe for success.

2091
01:47:37,760 --> 01:47:39,359
Speaker 2: They're a joke. It's a joke.

2092
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 6: Franchise. John Horse is a terrible GM. Everything that they're getting,

2093
01:47:43,840 --> 01:47:47,159
I'm super stoked that's happening to them. And that brings

2094
01:47:47,239 --> 01:47:48,840
me to my point with the Rockets.

2095
01:47:49,239 --> 01:47:50,359
Speaker 2: They don't need this bum.

2096
01:47:50,760 --> 01:47:54,640
Speaker 6: They need someone that can space the floor and shoot

2097
01:47:54,960 --> 01:47:56,359
and not turn the ball over.

2098
01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:56,720
Speaker 3: Ross.

2099
01:47:57,199 --> 01:47:58,880
Speaker 6: I know Jannis is a great player.

2100
01:47:59,079 --> 01:48:02,159
Speaker 2: Yes, we need some one that can that can handle

2101
01:48:02,199 --> 01:48:04,600
the rock They can space the floor like a Men

2102
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,279
Thompson and space is the floor like Alprin Shod Good's

2103
01:48:07,279 --> 01:48:08,159
great three point shooting.

2104
01:48:08,399 --> 01:48:10,720
Speaker 6: I'm saying, why do we need to add more people

2105
01:48:10,920 --> 01:48:12,920
like that? We need to add people that can actually

2106
01:48:13,039 --> 01:48:15,600
dribble and shoot the ball. I hope they don't do it.

2107
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:16,720
I don't think they'll do it.

2108
01:48:16,880 --> 01:48:17,600
Speaker 2: They're not gonna do it.

2109
01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:23,119
Speaker 6: Ultimately, Ultimately, they need a spacer, and God bless John's

2110
01:48:23,159 --> 01:48:24,000
wherever he goes.

2111
01:48:24,199 --> 01:48:26,640
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna do great in his new city.

2112
01:48:26,840 --> 01:48:29,119
I'll holler at you guys, thanks all right, thank you?

2113
01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:32,239
Uh yeah, probably I would. I would figure they would have.

2114
01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:34,520
First of all, it's probably not gonna happen. I mean,

2115
01:48:35,479 --> 01:48:37,399
you already had Tim mcmhon saying it's not gonna happen.

2116
01:48:37,439 --> 01:48:40,119
He's very reliable. But it would probably be in lieu

2117
01:48:40,199 --> 01:48:42,439
of either of alprinching gun or a men Thompson. And

2118
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:45,960
both of those guys are not three point threats, so

2119
01:48:46,199 --> 01:48:48,039
it would be a zero some game in terms of

2120
01:48:48,159 --> 01:48:50,920
worrying about clogging up the paint. You're not adding them

2121
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:53,399
with a men Thompson and alprinching gooon on the floor.

2122
01:48:54,159 --> 01:48:56,520
It's not Josha Kogi for a Men Thompson. That's that's

2123
01:48:56,560 --> 01:48:58,880
not happening. I mean, Jay Shontata's value, but you're not

2124
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:01,359
training the honest to me from Milwaukee for you, Jake,

2125
01:49:01,359 --> 01:49:03,760
he's probably one of those. I bet you Milwaukee's asking

2126
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:06,680
for both, but that's not happening. This is why this

2127
01:49:06,800 --> 01:49:11,319
is not going to happen. But the so the spacing

2128
01:49:11,359 --> 01:49:13,840
issue to me is a one for one, you're getting away.

2129
01:49:14,560 --> 01:49:17,159
Watch how everybody backs off of a men Thompson. Watch

2130
01:49:17,159 --> 01:49:21,560
how everybody backs off of Alprin Shingoon, but they feel

2131
01:49:21,640 --> 01:49:23,520
still find a way to score. And Giannis is finding

2132
01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:26,239
a way to score twenty eight points per game, and

2133
01:49:26,359 --> 01:49:29,880
he's hyper efficient, more than both of those guys. He's

2134
01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,880
shooting sixty four point five percent from the field. All

2135
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,239
that talk about not shooting and not all that stuff,

2136
01:49:35,239 --> 01:49:38,800
and he can't, uh, he can't make a three. First

2137
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:40,760
of all, he's shooting thirty nine percent from three this year.

2138
01:49:41,159 --> 01:49:43,640
Second of all, he's shooting sixty four percent from the field.

2139
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,520
That's higher than than Alprin or a man ever in

2140
01:49:47,600 --> 01:49:50,279
their career. The most attractive thing about him, and I've

2141
01:49:50,279 --> 01:49:52,840
said this from multiple times, is he gets the ball

2142
01:49:52,840 --> 01:49:55,560
at the top of the key, He's going to score.

2143
01:49:55,960 --> 01:49:58,760
To your to the numbers there, sixty four percent of

2144
01:49:58,800 --> 01:50:01,359
the time little of a shot are inside the are

2145
01:50:01,399 --> 01:50:03,479
inside the arc. You have no jump shot, and you're

2146
01:50:03,479 --> 01:50:07,319
scoring sixty four percent of the time. How that's crazy,

2147
01:50:08,039 --> 01:50:10,560
all right? Seven one three two one two five seven

2148
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:14,880

LSU support? You don't know nothing aboudy Houston?

2154
01:50:30,199 --> 01:50:34,800

01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:35,640

Speaker 2: Are you an LSU guy? Ross? Hi, Frank, my name

2158
01:50:43,159 --> 01:50:49,520
is Ross and I am last time. What happened last time? Yeah,

2159
01:50:50,039 --> 01:50:52,159
you got mad? I called you dumb and then well

2160
01:50:52,239 --> 01:50:53,920
now I'm not gonna call you dumb because I don't

2161
01:50:53,920 --> 01:50:56,920
want to make you mad. Frank, but I have never

2162
01:50:57,079 --> 01:51:00,920
supported l s U. I am from Houston, Texas, and

2163
01:51:01,039 --> 01:51:02,960
I'm a Texas Longhorn supporter.

2164
01:51:03,119 --> 01:51:07,000
Speaker 8: Yes, okay, hey, but look here, Matt. We need a

2165
01:51:07,039 --> 01:51:11,600
point guard, so why don't we uh get he had

2166
01:51:11,760 --> 01:51:14,199
got some two or three guards up that we could use,

2167
01:51:15,199 --> 01:51:16,840
and mainly the one we want.

2168
01:51:16,760 --> 01:51:18,520
Speaker 3: Is the kid that played the uba.

2169
01:51:19,239 --> 01:51:21,159
Speaker 8: He ain't getting a lot of man time up there

2170
01:51:21,239 --> 01:51:24,159
because the new board, so we could wouldn't have to

2171
01:51:24,199 --> 01:51:29,079
give up much to get him. You know, you could

2172
01:51:29,199 --> 01:51:32,640
think now if I was gonna trade anybody to get

2173
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:38,399
somebody like uh uh, the other guy I would go

2174
01:51:38,520 --> 01:51:39,359
get Fox.

2175
01:51:40,359 --> 01:51:44,199
Speaker 2: The Aaron Fox, who's San Antonio right now, who's very happy, who,

2176
01:51:44,239 --> 01:51:46,119
by the way, is fighting with the Rockets for top

2177
01:51:46,359 --> 01:51:49,600
two or three C in the West. What Yeah, but

2178
01:51:50,079 --> 01:51:52,920
you mean yeah, but there's no Yeah, but there's nothing

2179
01:51:52,960 --> 01:51:56,640
to it. Yeah, but yeah, the Spurs are.

2180
01:51:59,159 --> 01:52:00,640
Speaker 8: That's the same thing they see it about.

2181
01:52:00,760 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 2: Uh, Katie, no, we got you didn't say that, all right,

2182
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:11,000
thank you, Frank? Right, No, no, nobody when Katie was

2183
01:52:11,039 --> 01:52:13,479
being was being talked about, they did mention the Rockets

2184
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:18,359
trying to be nice. It is Frank. I think I

2185
01:52:18,399 --> 01:52:20,039
called him dumb and then he threatened me physically. So

2186
01:52:20,359 --> 01:52:21,359
we don't need that. I don't want to get my

2187
01:52:21,359 --> 01:52:24,640
as but I mean, if we gotta throw, we gotta

2188
01:52:24,640 --> 01:52:26,359
throw hands, and got throw hands. But I don't want

2189
01:52:26,359 --> 01:52:29,920
to get I'm a lover, not a fighter. The only

2190
01:52:30,039 --> 01:52:32,560
guard the two guards have been mentioned in trade conversation,

2191
01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:34,840
and again that's just whispering. That's what trades to do.

2192
01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:36,960
Is what does what agents do to float players out?

2193
01:52:37,039 --> 01:52:39,800
This is what teams do. Kobe White from the bull

2194
01:52:39,960 --> 01:52:42,600
from the Bulls and Jose Alvarado from New Orleans trades

2195
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:44,079
come out of nowhere. All the time that we we

2196
01:52:44,199 --> 01:52:48,119
weren't didn't have our our radar, especially with a team

2197
01:52:48,199 --> 01:52:50,079
like the Rockets, who keep things pretty close to the vest,

2198
01:52:51,239 --> 01:52:54,640
really close, which you know, I've always talked about this

2199
01:52:54,640 --> 01:52:56,039
with you for all these years of work together. I

2200
01:52:56,279 --> 01:52:59,680
like secrets. I I don't, Yeah, we know. I like

2201
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:03,199
I like to be surprised by things. And when you know,

2202
01:53:03,399 --> 01:53:05,600
Shams Shams puts out a tweet or some of the

2203
01:53:05,680 --> 01:53:08,800
Rockets and it surprised us. It gives us some excitement.

2204
01:53:10,119 --> 01:53:12,279
So if they do nothing, I'll be Okay, they make

2205
01:53:12,359 --> 01:53:14,680
a move, I'll be please pleasantly surprised. I will be

2206
01:53:15,039 --> 01:53:18,359
shocked if there's a nerth shattering move. Little Kobe White,

2207
01:53:18,399 --> 01:53:21,039
litt Jose Alvarado, Okay, Kobe can score though he's about

2208
01:53:21,079 --> 01:53:22,960
seventeen points a game, so he would be a much

2209
01:53:23,119 --> 01:53:26,119
additional at scoring punch with the Rockets. All right, he

2210
01:53:26,199 --> 01:53:28,520
may don't in forty five minutes. You can join us

with love it. So I'm doing some prep on tonight's

2228
01:54:20,520 --> 01:54:26,279
Rocket Spurs game. And I'm not accused of fan bowing

2229
01:54:26,399 --> 01:54:31,319
too much, but I have fanboy over a handful of

2230
01:54:31,359 --> 01:54:33,439
people that have been on this show. I have fanboy

2231
01:54:33,520 --> 01:54:37,720
with people I've been around in my life, Earl Campbell, Noan,

2232
01:54:37,880 --> 01:54:41,439
Ryan a Chem, Elijah on All the Kid the Legends

2233
01:54:41,439 --> 01:54:43,439
that I grew up watching it in my Logan Van

2234
01:54:43,479 --> 01:54:48,880
Why Logan Van? Why was not on there? Who else

2235
01:54:48,880 --> 01:54:53,199
would not be on the list? Casey Candell never never,

2236
01:54:53,239 --> 01:54:59,079
Fanny Rogers, No, Brendan McCarty, Brendan McCurry on. I don't

2237
01:54:59,079 --> 01:55:02,000
think we had him on the But I have fanboy

2238
01:55:02,079 --> 01:55:05,439
for Kevin Durant. And it wasn't like I was anti

2239
01:55:05,560 --> 01:55:07,880
Kevin Durant, but I just I appreciate him from a distance.

2240
01:55:08,319 --> 01:55:10,279
I didn't say he sucked or he was horrible or

2241
01:55:10,279 --> 01:55:12,319
about a human being. He was definitely out of bounds

2242
01:55:12,640 --> 01:55:14,359
in the one Rocket playoff game, and I called it

2243
01:55:14,399 --> 01:55:16,279
out and couldn't lose in my mind because the officials

2244
01:55:16,359 --> 01:55:18,000
let him stay in bounds when he had both feet

2245
01:55:18,079 --> 01:55:19,880
will be on the sideline. But that's a different notchue

2246
01:55:19,920 --> 01:55:26,520
for a different time. But he is about he's thirty

2247
01:55:26,560 --> 01:55:29,920
seven years of age. Mm hmm. He has thirty straight

2248
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,039
point thirty or more points and three straight games he's

2249
01:55:32,039 --> 01:55:34,960
averaging thirty four points a game. He is playing ROSSI

2250
01:55:35,159 --> 01:55:39,560
thirty seven minutes a night in the NBA. A thirty

2251
01:55:39,600 --> 01:55:43,560
seven year old playing thirty seven minutes. Uh, they want

2252
01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:46,399
to lower that load. They're gonna have to lower that load.

2253
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:49,680
And yeah, I mean he may dook is a competitor

2254
01:55:49,680 --> 01:55:51,520
because you know he'll be and he'll comes on these

2255
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:52,960
airways like, hey, we gotta get it down. But you

2256
01:55:53,000 --> 01:55:56,199
know when when for lack of a better term, bullets

2257
01:55:56,239 --> 01:55:58,880
are flying, that's not really won. But when you're under fire,

2258
01:55:59,119 --> 01:56:01,720
you know what I'm saying. Yeah, when you're in the

2259
01:56:01,800 --> 01:56:04,359
heat of not battle, when you're in the heat of

2260
01:56:04,399 --> 01:56:07,199
a basketball game, you just can't find the right time.

2261
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:09,760
Help me out here. No, I'm good, you're doing to

2262
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:12,640
leave you on this island. Probably when he's in the

2263
01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:15,319
middle of a basketball game and you're you really want

2264
01:56:15,399 --> 01:56:17,199
to win the game, so he plays some extra minutes.

2265
01:56:17,239 --> 01:56:20,279
I totally under I totally said that, ornight. I get

2266
01:56:20,359 --> 01:56:23,640
paid sick money. I need to do this. Yes, and

2267
01:56:23,760 --> 01:56:25,760
you want to win the games. Every game matters in

2268
01:56:25,800 --> 01:56:31,760
the Western Conference. So yeah, you have Dorian Photney Smith

2269
01:56:31,840 --> 01:56:34,520
still on minutes restrictions. Tarry Easton can't play back to backs.

2270
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,079
I mean, Steven Adams is out, not like that, it's

2271
01:56:36,079 --> 01:56:38,279
a one for one, but just the rotation as a

2272
01:56:38,399 --> 01:56:40,239
whole gets a little bit bogged down and it's not

2273
01:56:40,279 --> 01:56:41,680
where you would like it to be. So it's a

2274
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:46,800
tough spot. Betty's fantastic handling it. He's amazing and he's thoughtful.

2275
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:49,359
I've had him on the postgame show three times, most

2276
01:56:49,399 --> 01:56:52,760
recently on Sunday. It's great, that's Sundy. What is today?

2277
01:56:52,760 --> 01:56:54,439
I'm gonna say something, and you tell me if I'm

2278
01:56:54,720 --> 01:56:56,479
how biased I'm being hold on home out what day?

2279
01:56:56,560 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 3: It was?

2280
01:56:56,760 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 2: Today's Wednesday? When we played last Monday? I go ahead.

2281
01:57:00,039 --> 01:57:02,079
I've argued this kind of but I felt like it

2282
01:57:02,199 --> 01:57:04,319
was an argument. Now to me, it's more true than

2283
01:57:04,359 --> 01:57:08,199
I've ever thought just seeing him every game. Second greatest

2284
01:57:08,239 --> 01:57:14,760
shooter ever behind Steph Curry. No disrespect to Ray Allen,

2285
01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:18,800
Klay Thompson, Larry Bird. I'm going Miller. I'm going to

2286
01:57:18,880 --> 01:57:21,960
push back on it because second greatest. When I'm sorry shooter,

2287
01:57:24,159 --> 01:57:26,079
how much damage would be done for me beyond the

2288
01:57:26,199 --> 01:57:33,119
yark now his volume wise, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, I

2289
01:57:33,159 --> 01:57:34,840
bet you, I bet you he's had a better three

2290
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:37,159
point percentage than Reggie Miller all the time without looking,

2291
01:57:37,279 --> 01:57:40,119
But yeah, I could go with that. And who's taking

2292
01:57:40,199 --> 01:57:43,359
more contested ones? Reggie Miller would coming around like fifty curls.

2293
01:57:44,359 --> 01:57:46,439
You're six eleven, how can you be contested? Okay, I'm

2294
01:57:46,439 --> 01:57:50,199
sorry people in his space, that's true. It's difficult with

2295
01:57:50,319 --> 01:57:53,920
how tall he is I bet you Ray Allen might

2296
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:57,359
have a better three point percentage career. Can I give

2297
01:57:57,359 --> 01:58:02,399
you a different accolade? Go ahead, the greatest stretch four

2298
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:06,840
in the history of the NBA. Okay, you don't like that,

2299
01:58:07,039 --> 01:58:13,079
I'm the going second greatest shooter. What's up? He's at

2300
01:58:13,119 --> 01:58:15,720
thirty nine point one percent. Ray Allen's at forty and

2301
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:17,880
especially end of his career, Ray Allen is just popping

2302
01:58:17,920 --> 01:58:21,399
in the corner from Lebron and d Wade like Durant's

2303
01:58:21,520 --> 01:58:25,960
creating most of his threes. And that's why Steph Curry

2304
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:27,680
to me, I don't even know who's the highest percentag

2305
01:58:27,680 --> 01:58:29,520
The highest percentage might be like Mark Price or Steve

2306
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,840
Kerr or somebody. Steph Curry is number one because of

2307
01:58:31,880 --> 01:58:34,920
those contested threes and how deeply he can shoot them

2308
01:58:34,960 --> 01:58:41,439
from like thirty five feet. There are so many outstanding players.

2309
01:58:41,520 --> 01:58:44,279
I mean, I can't go Mike Ross. I told you

2310
01:58:44,359 --> 01:58:46,279
you could push. I told you coul push to push.

2311
01:58:46,319 --> 01:58:47,880
I'm just I told you you could you can fight me.

2312
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:52,560
To me, I think perimeter. I think how much damage

2313
01:58:52,600 --> 01:58:54,159
you doing for me outside the three point line and

2314
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:58,399
outside the ark? And he's great at that too. I

2315
01:58:58,439 --> 01:59:00,239
don't know if I can do that. Second greatest of

2316
01:59:00,279 --> 01:59:03,600
all time, Kevin Durant. I'm standing on it. You're not stuttering, area,

2317
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:07,000
I'm not stuttering. Forty three percent last year, forty one

2318
01:59:07,079 --> 01:59:10,479
percent the year before, forty point seven percent. He's getting

2319
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:14,920
older and he's shooting better, and these are not. He's

2320
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:21,720
not standing in the corner just popping up threes. I'm

2321
01:59:21,720 --> 01:59:27,359
sticking with it. Okay, I'll let you do it because

2322
01:59:27,359 --> 01:59:30,800
I respect your basketball acumen. Thank you, Matt. All right, Uh,

2323
01:59:30,960 --> 01:59:34,439
we got one house the Easy Money Sniper. See the

2324
01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:36,720
thing is, I've called him Kevin on the air, Katie

2325
01:59:37,920 --> 01:59:40,039
easy money Sniper. Go Can I call him easy money

2326
01:59:40,079 --> 01:59:44,319
to his face? Throw sniper in there? I don't know.

2327
01:59:44,359 --> 01:59:46,119
I don't want to call him their human being a sniper.

2328
01:59:46,199 --> 01:59:48,239
What's like if I called you sports MT it's his

2329
01:59:48,319 --> 01:59:52,319
handle easy Money Sniper or mister Texas. Okay, that's now you.

2330
01:59:53,119 --> 01:59:55,079
You've not said much today, but when you've come in

2331
01:59:55,159 --> 01:59:58,600
with just the perfect amount of commentary, and now he's

2332
01:59:58,600 --> 02:00:01,079
getting in on. She's trying to troll me. You're trying

2333
02:00:01,239 --> 02:00:03,800
you're trying to incite my in the gospel. I'm not

2334
02:00:03,880 --> 02:00:08,039
gonna let it happen. He is the worst mister Texas

2335
02:00:08,039 --> 02:00:13,359
candidate of all time. I'm moving on. How about mister Houston.

2336
02:00:17,279 --> 02:00:20,920
I guess that's better. I like the whole state. Your

2337
02:00:21,000 --> 02:00:23,079
list of qualifications are that you went to Lubbock a

2338
02:00:23,119 --> 02:00:27,840
couple of times. Like it's this very flim necadocius. No

2339
02:00:27,960 --> 02:00:31,119
cowboy boots, no cowboy hat. You don't stay outdoors ever.

2340
02:00:31,399 --> 02:00:34,920
Texas is all about the outdoors. Never been deer hunting.

2341
02:00:35,399 --> 02:00:39,560
You don't even you like beans and your chili? You don't.

2342
02:00:40,199 --> 02:00:43,800
You don't like to hold on. I love chili in general.

2343
02:00:43,920 --> 02:00:46,399
I don't have to have beans. I'm just because I'm

2344
02:00:46,439 --> 02:00:50,479
mister Texas. I will accept all different types and varieties. Okay,

2345
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:52,680
you don't like the malis. You don't like the malis

2346
02:00:52,760 --> 02:00:59,199
inci Ladas. I don't like Aldean. Why don't you like Aldie?

2347
02:00:59,239 --> 02:01:02,279
It's a little scary of there. It's fine. You sure

2348
02:01:02,439 --> 02:01:07,439
I didn't get shot once? That you know of straight

2349
02:01:07,479 --> 02:01:10,079
bowld in the back. It's like going anywhere. Just follow

2350
02:01:10,159 --> 02:01:12,479
the don't start none, won't be none doctrine. You can

2351
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:15,000
be all right. Final hour the Matt Thomas Show at Ross,

Here on seven ninety is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2354

Somebody Instagram says Alding is fine, even though I did

2355
02:01:29,159 --> 02:01:30,960
get shot once. But other than that, it's pretty cool.

2356
02:01:34,079 --> 02:01:36,359

saving truth. The Queens of King started following me. Lafayette

2360
02:01:47,359 --> 02:01:50,479
Watts Senior. That sounds like a good old fashioned Harlem

2361
02:01:50,520 --> 02:01:52,720
globetrotter's name. Who's your favorite all time glob trotter at

2362

all of you bs bs. They loves you. Never once

2367
02:02:24,359 --> 02:02:27,000
mis mentioned your Instagram until I started doing it. That's

2368
02:02:27,079 --> 02:02:30,399
not true. You're such a fraudulent human being. No, I'm

2369
02:02:30,439 --> 02:02:34,319
not fraudulent. That's fine. Follow the show as long as

2370
02:02:34,319 --> 02:02:36,840
you're following somebody, all right? Who else has been outraged

2371
02:02:36,880 --> 02:02:39,079
in the last hour about the fact that Bill Belichick

2372
02:02:39,079 --> 02:02:40,600
did not make the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No,

2373
02:02:42,319 --> 02:02:46,680
everybody's upset again, not human tragedy. I would have voted

2374
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:50,520
him in. It's not up to me. He'll get in

2375
02:02:50,640 --> 02:02:53,079
next year. Don't be involved in like five different scandals.

2376
02:02:53,880 --> 02:02:58,319
I'm sorry four Bill's accused him of stealing signals. Bengals

2377
02:02:58,359 --> 02:03:02,399
accused him in twenty nineteen, spygating twenty seventeen to Flake

2378
02:03:02,439 --> 02:03:06,760
Kate in twenty twelve draft picks taken five hundred thousand dollars. Fine,

2379
02:03:07,439 --> 02:03:08,760
so you wait one year in the Hall of Fame.

2380
02:03:11,640 --> 02:03:16,520
Doesn't seem that unfair. It does not. But I have

2381
02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:21,119
never seen you would think it's funny. I really do believe,

2382
02:03:21,239 --> 02:03:23,960
and not that we're sitting here going ooh good for him.

2383
02:03:25,039 --> 02:03:27,199
It makes me, frankly, no difference whether it got it

2384
02:03:27,319 --> 02:03:31,359
or not. But I'm wonder if like Florio's not saying

2385
02:03:31,399 --> 02:03:36,000
anything and uh a Schefter's not saying anything, like this

2386
02:03:36,119 --> 02:03:38,000
is an out room. You got all these celebrities coming in.

2387
02:03:38,960 --> 02:03:40,199
You know what a part of it is I think

2388
02:03:40,399 --> 02:03:43,319
is that I think that and This is maybe a

2389
02:03:43,439 --> 02:03:46,359
good sign for the world that we all understand that

2390
02:03:46,399 --> 02:03:49,479
we're all not perfect, and that you are allowed to

2391
02:03:49,520 --> 02:03:51,600
have a blemish, whether it be a big one or

2392
02:03:51,600 --> 02:03:54,119
a little one, that life, that you can't live a

2393
02:03:54,159 --> 02:03:56,600
perfect life. I think it will make mistakes. And if

2394
02:03:56,760 --> 02:03:58,359
you're allowed a one time mistake, and this is not

2395
02:03:58,439 --> 02:04:01,640
a repeated performance, we don't don't know so far, only

2396
02:04:01,680 --> 02:04:04,880
got caught once when he was coaching there, that people

2397
02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:07,039
allowed to make mistakes and get past it, which is

2398
02:04:07,039 --> 02:04:08,720
a good sign for anybody that's involved with that. Twenty

2399
02:04:08,800 --> 02:04:10,760
seventeen has tros. I think it's more of it just

2400
02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:13,680
twenty years ago. I mean, if this happened five years ago,

2401
02:04:13,680 --> 02:04:15,279
it would be more on people's minds and they would

2402
02:04:15,279 --> 02:04:16,640
be like, you know what, yeah, get them out, keep

2403
02:04:16,680 --> 02:04:18,239
them out. I think you would see a lot more

2404
02:04:18,279 --> 02:04:22,479
division between people are arguing about whether or not he

2405
02:04:22,560 --> 02:04:24,399
should have to sit out here, not sit out a year,

2406
02:04:24,399 --> 02:04:26,359
because that's not just not getting it voted in as

2407
02:04:26,399 --> 02:04:28,239
a first ballot. If this happened like five years ago,

2408
02:04:28,239 --> 02:04:32,119
it happened to almost twenty years ago. In time, heals wounds,

2409
02:04:32,359 --> 02:04:34,039
just like I think a lot of these guys and

2410
02:04:34,079 --> 02:04:36,239
the steroid here are going to eventually find their way

2411
02:04:37,119 --> 02:04:39,640
closer to acceptance, not a hall of fame. Some of

2412
02:04:39,680 --> 02:04:42,159
them are done. Is Barry Bond's done? Clemens is done, right,

2413
02:04:42,199 --> 02:04:48,439
Clemons is done. I think Sammy Celsis done so maah,

2414
02:04:49,239 --> 02:04:50,680
not the same. It was the first battle hall of

2415
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:51,359
Famer to begin with.

2416
02:04:52,399 --> 02:04:52,560
Speaker 6: Um.

2417
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:56,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to have this conversation, you know, five

2418
02:04:57,039 --> 02:04:58,920
years after Jose al tuov is done, and we're going

2419
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:01,680
to be debating about it because there are gonna be

2420
02:05:01,760 --> 02:05:04,000
people that, even though the Jose's name has been not

2421
02:05:04,119 --> 02:05:07,039
been brought up as a guilty party of the twenty

2422
02:05:07,199 --> 02:05:09,039
seventeen season, he's gonna say, They're gonna say guilt by

2423
02:05:09,039 --> 02:05:14,920
association and there's nothing that. And here's the thing. As

2424
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:18,319
much as you and I believe that we don't know

2425
02:05:18,520 --> 02:05:21,560
without absolute certainty that JOSEEO Tuobe is not involved, I

2426
02:05:21,600 --> 02:05:23,640
don't know. I mean, we don't know who's uh how

2427
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:25,560
many of these old writers are gonna be died off

2428
02:05:25,600 --> 02:05:29,000
by then? I will say this, if we ever found

2429
02:05:29,039 --> 02:05:32,439
out that Jose was not involved, it would crush me

2430
02:05:32,560 --> 02:05:35,399
to multiple levels. One we found out that he was involved,

2431
02:05:35,680 --> 02:05:37,960
that he was involved, it would crush me to multiple levels,

2432
02:05:37,960 --> 02:05:40,600
because one, I think he's the greatest aster of them all.

2433
02:05:41,079 --> 02:05:44,359
Number two, he has been widely regarded as one of

2434
02:05:44,399 --> 02:05:46,720
the most popular asters of all time. Nobody if it's

2435
02:05:46,720 --> 02:05:49,720
a bad thing about joseeo Tube ever, he's just sweet

2436
02:05:49,800 --> 02:05:52,880
human being. But I mean, there's just now he's just

2437
02:05:53,119 --> 02:05:56,720
a decent human being. And has it really changed from

2438
02:05:56,720 --> 02:05:58,720
who he is from the time he was just barely

2439
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:00,359
in a major league rosters and now we're he is?

2440
02:06:01,760 --> 02:06:04,520
But number three, I will have spent a lot of

2441
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:08,920
my life as a sportscaster defending a man's honor. M

2442
02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:12,680
And that will hurt because I don't know if it's

2443
02:06:12,680 --> 02:06:14,560
ever happened to me as a sports talk host before.

2444
02:06:14,680 --> 02:06:18,600
But I'm thinking, is there's something I've defended, betrayed, not betrayed,

2445
02:06:18,760 --> 02:06:22,760
defending someone for so long as judging of character, that's true.

2446
02:06:22,800 --> 02:06:25,840
You were always carrying the torch for Deshaun Watson. How

2447
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:28,319
great of a community man he was. Well, I'll say this,

2448
02:06:29,319 --> 02:06:32,520
I'm kidding. When Deshaun Watson all that stuff first came out,

2449
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:35,000
it was because he thought Jackieasabree was a crook and

2450
02:06:35,399 --> 02:06:39,760
col was an idiot, And I defended that I didn't blame.

2451
02:06:39,880 --> 02:06:42,520
I can remember vividly you and I talking about I

2452
02:06:42,560 --> 02:06:44,159
don't blame Deshaun, want to get out of here. This

2453
02:06:44,239 --> 02:06:46,920
is a it's a toxic organization. I remember that I'm

2454
02:06:47,000 --> 02:06:50,199
bad coach Jackie Esbrey trying to cut people off all

2455
02:06:50,279 --> 02:06:54,279
the time. Cal playing video games. I mean, Cal still

2456
02:06:54,279 --> 02:06:56,159
playing video games, but at least he's got better people

2457
02:06:56,159 --> 02:06:58,239
around him, and obviously Hannah is much more involved. And

2458
02:06:58,279 --> 02:06:59,960
then he got slapp with twenty five loss and then

2459
02:07:00,359 --> 02:07:04,359
so that's not necessarily a I'm I'm mad that I

2460
02:07:04,479 --> 02:07:06,720
died on the vine for that. I just understood why

2461
02:07:06,840 --> 02:07:10,159
Deshaun was upset because the contract he signed in an

2462
02:07:10,239 --> 02:07:12,960
organization he thought he was playing for was being run

2463
02:07:13,039 --> 02:07:17,000
by different people and being run in a very poor way. Now,

2464
02:07:17,039 --> 02:07:19,199
it'd be different if I came on the radio show

2465
02:07:19,239 --> 02:07:22,399
and said there's no way de Sean didn't get a

2466
02:07:22,479 --> 02:07:24,399
rub and tug, and there's no way that all these

2467
02:07:24,479 --> 02:07:27,199
messuses and all that twenty five of them are lying,

2468
02:07:27,279 --> 02:07:29,399
you know what I mean? That would be different. Did

2469
02:07:29,600 --> 02:07:31,520
I never said that? Yeah, it was more OJ. You

2470
02:07:31,600 --> 02:07:36,279
were defending then. I was not defending OJ. People. People

2471
02:07:36,359 --> 02:07:39,560
have selective hearing. They're gonna be thinking, Matt, Hi, my

2472
02:07:39,640 --> 02:07:42,680
name is Ross, and I'm just kidding correct, I'm trying.

2473
02:07:42,760 --> 02:07:45,039
I mean, I gotta think about this. Is there somebody

2474
02:07:45,159 --> 02:07:47,680
in my in sports that I've talked about and you

2475
02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:50,479
defended them and defend them, whether it be as a personality,

2476
02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:52,680
whether it be about drug use, whether it be about cheating.

2477
02:07:52,720 --> 02:07:54,600
I've been defending CJ. Stroud. He let me down in

2478
02:07:54,640 --> 02:07:58,359
the division. Round to you that a lot of people

2479
02:07:58,439 --> 02:08:02,720
did that. We should go bookmark people's tweets from like

2480
02:08:03,560 --> 02:08:06,239
two weeks ago, three weeks ago, I was defending Arch

2481
02:08:06,279 --> 02:08:07,600
Manning and he let me down. The beginning of the

2482
02:08:07,600 --> 02:08:11,159
season he rallied. Some people thought he would transfer out

2483
02:08:11,159 --> 02:08:12,960
and not even say at Texas who would do that?

2484
02:08:13,800 --> 02:08:16,119
This is a bad guy feeling. I didn't put my name,

2485
02:08:16,159 --> 02:08:18,000
I did it. I didn't mention. I don't know. I

2486
02:08:18,000 --> 02:08:19,039
don't think I put my name. I don't even know

2487
02:08:19,039 --> 02:08:21,960
what you're talking about. What's believe it or not? Today

2488
02:08:22,119 --> 02:08:24,279
I'm only worrying you have even started yet. We got

2489
02:08:24,319 --> 02:08:26,960
an EMA coming up, and you're gonna want to get

2490
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:28,720
your voice in the EMA conversation because you're gonna be

2491
02:08:28,720 --> 02:08:32,720
replaying it during the Rockets launch replaying. You know, there's

2492
02:08:32,760 --> 02:08:35,920
a little snippets here and there of great information from

2493
02:08:36,079 --> 02:08:39,680
our coach who gives us wonderful straight answers. He's glib.

2494
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:43,560
I'll give him that credit. Transparent. Yeah, I mean, he's

2495
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:47,720
not a cliche machine as much as others. So here's

2496
02:08:47,960 --> 02:08:51,079
here's here's how it worked. Mike D'Antoni didn't like doing it,

2497
02:08:51,319 --> 02:08:53,359
but he did it. I don't even know if Ema

2498
02:08:53,479 --> 02:08:56,039
is a big fan of it, but Mike was way

2499
02:08:56,159 --> 02:08:59,960
more cliche filled than e May I was talking about.

2500
02:09:00,079 --> 02:09:02,800
This was our producer Jassee. I was like, Mike, give

2501
02:09:02,840 --> 02:09:05,800
you five second answers. I do think, I felt. I know,

2502
02:09:06,039 --> 02:09:07,560
look at the clock going. I gotta ask him eight

2503
02:09:07,600 --> 02:09:09,960
more questions to get to two minutes. I don't know, Matt.

2504
02:09:09,960 --> 02:09:13,279
And then we had Steven Silas on and I loved him,

2505
02:09:13,640 --> 02:09:16,079
but the team sucks. Yeah, but he was mister soliloquy.

2506
02:09:16,479 --> 02:09:19,199
I like Steven Silas sound bites just personally for as

2507
02:09:19,239 --> 02:09:22,920
a launch pad and joyer. It's always about you, isn't it.

2508
02:09:26,159 --> 02:09:28,840
I think I don't even know where Steven's I think Stevens,

2509
02:09:28,880 --> 02:09:31,479
I think Silas. By the end honestly, And I said

2510
02:09:31,479 --> 02:09:34,479
this again to her. I think he was filipbustering. I

2511
02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:37,279
think he knows. Like man, if they asked me the longer,

2512
02:09:37,319 --> 02:09:40,359
I talked a fewer questions, I have to answer about

2513
02:09:40,479 --> 02:09:43,600
Christian Woods defense. So let me go ahead and give

2514
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,319
a three minute answer about everything. And eventually we got

2515
02:09:46,439 --> 02:09:49,359
to get out of here. I love Scoot, but man,

2516
02:09:49,479 --> 02:09:55,520
he's a time bomb. I was scooted doing.

2517
02:09:56,319 --> 02:09:56,479
Speaker 5: Uh.

2518
02:09:56,760 --> 02:09:59,840
Speaker 2: Okay, he's back up in Milwaukee. That's good. I guess.

2519
02:10:00,199 --> 02:10:02,760
I don't know. Let me tell you something. He remember

2520
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:05,319
he left and there was a beating the girlfriend, all

2521
02:10:05,359 --> 02:10:07,239
that kind of stuff. All that. I mean, it could

2522
02:10:07,279 --> 02:10:10,199
have really gone south for him. He had to go overseas, right,

2523
02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:12,880
m Or am I thinking of somebody else? I think

2524
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:15,319
you're think of somebody else? All right? It is one

2525
02:10:15,479 --> 02:10:17,199
thirteen in the Matt Thomas Show. Coming up in the

2526
02:10:17,199 --> 02:10:20,560
bottom of the hour, we have Emai Duck is going

2527
02:10:20,600 --> 02:10:21,039
to join us.

2528
02:10:21,239 --> 02:10:21,359
Speaker 5: Ross.

2529
02:10:21,479 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 2: What's the next segment of the show going to be?

2530
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,680
What do you think Kevin Porter Junior talk. I don't

2531
02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:29,479
think we're gonna do Kevin Porter Junior talk. Okay, yeah, yeah,

2532
02:10:29,520 --> 02:10:34,720
he played in Uh, he played in Greece. Then he

2533
02:10:34,800 --> 02:10:37,439
came back to the NBA, got his uh second, I

2534
02:10:37,439 --> 02:10:39,840
guess third chances he was a cavalier for a while.

2535
02:10:41,760 --> 02:10:44,239
Now he's with the Bucks, all right. Uh, speaking of

2536
02:10:44,239 --> 02:10:49,119
the Bucks, Yannis, if he goes west, are we going

2537
02:10:49,199 --> 02:10:51,279
to be really freaking out to be sad? We'll talk

2538
02:10:51,279 --> 02:10:52,680
about that coming back if you want to get into

2539
02:10:52,720 --> 02:10:54,439
anything else. We've talked about the day. We've talked about

2540
02:10:54,439 --> 02:10:57,359
Bill Belichick. We've talked about our Houston Cougar's knocking off

2541
02:10:57,399 --> 02:11:00,439
TCU Tonight Rockets and Spurs, Jannis being traded.

2542
02:11:01,199 --> 02:11:01,319
Speaker 3: Uh.

2543
02:11:01,560 --> 02:11:04,880
Speaker 2: And by the way, congratulations to the world of social media. Ross,

2544
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:07,560
it's now day three without any c. J. Stroud memes

2545
02:11:07,600 --> 02:11:12,439
out there. Maybe we're forgiveness is coming into play, Thank

2546
02:11:12,479 --> 02:11:15,119
goodness seven one three, two, one, two, five, seven, eight

2547
02:11:18,960 --> 02:11:21,720
what eighteen On Sports Talk seven ninety it is the

2548
02:11:21,800 --> 02:11:25,760
Mount Thomas Show with Ross Hemye Doka coming up. At

2549
02:11:25,800 --> 02:11:28,960
the bottom of the hour, Tom Brady chiming in saying

2550
02:11:28,960 --> 02:11:31,680
it's completely ridiculous that Bill Belichick's not getting the Hall

2551
02:11:31,680 --> 02:11:40,439
of Fame. Of course, secretly, deep deep down, he's like, well,

2552
02:11:40,560 --> 02:11:46,600
let me ask you this. I don't equate spygate to

2553
02:11:46,720 --> 02:11:50,199
the flight gate, although it is again trying to get

2554
02:11:50,239 --> 02:11:54,760
a competitive iantage because you like the size of the

2555
02:11:54,920 --> 02:11:58,680
football to be as be careful on that, like the

2556
02:11:58,760 --> 02:12:03,119
size of the balls. So you're saying you're trying to

2557
02:12:03,159 --> 02:12:05,520
avoid saying you said it, not me, So clip that

2558
02:12:05,640 --> 02:12:06,119
for Friday?

2559
02:12:06,239 --> 02:12:06,600
Speaker 3: Uh huh?

2560
02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:13,319
Speaker 2: Is he worried that he might be in this similar situation?

2561
02:12:14,279 --> 02:12:19,159
Maybe I don't think he is. First of all, it

2562
02:12:19,319 --> 02:12:22,279
could be disputable that Belichick's the greatest coach of all time.

2563
02:12:24,439 --> 02:12:26,760
I don't think it is, but some could dispute it

2564
02:12:26,760 --> 02:12:29,560
because somebody could say, well, Vince Lombardi or Don Shula,

2565
02:12:29,640 --> 02:12:30,800
you know, I mean, you could put them in that

2566
02:12:31,079 --> 02:12:33,119
really super verified here in terms of the number of

2567
02:12:33,199 --> 02:12:35,319
victori it's not even close in terms of Super Bowl victories.

2568
02:12:36,359 --> 02:12:37,840
But people could go back and say, well, what would

2569
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:41,560
Belichick do with Tom Brady was in his quarterback? Tom

2570
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:44,520
Brady's the greatest quarterback in the history of the NFL,

2571
02:12:44,640 --> 02:12:46,840
And as much as I love so many other quarterbacks

2572
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:49,199
of his ilk, he's the greatest quarterback of all time.

2573
02:12:50,039 --> 02:12:56,880
He just is. I don't think the flakegate gets some

2574
02:12:57,039 --> 02:12:59,720
ding to year, And maybe I'm being hypocritical on this.

2575
02:13:01,239 --> 02:13:04,600
He did get suspended four games. It was a cheating situation.

2576
02:13:05,800 --> 02:13:10,560
It was the biggest knock on that whole situation for

2577
02:13:10,680 --> 02:13:12,760
me for Tom Brady is that he destroyed his own phone.

2578
02:13:13,399 --> 02:13:15,159
You were trying to investigate him and figure out if

2579
02:13:15,159 --> 02:13:17,279
he were doing something wrong, and he destroyed his phone.

2580
02:13:18,199 --> 02:13:20,800
I don't know if he did that because he didn't

2581
02:13:20,800 --> 02:13:23,199
want to sell see in his text or what. I

2582
02:13:23,239 --> 02:13:25,520
don't have the reason why he destroyed his phone. But

2583
02:13:25,600 --> 02:13:28,079
if you're completely one hundred percent innocent, nothing to hi,

2584
02:13:28,199 --> 02:13:31,119
You're not destroying your phone. Giselle was busy with her

2585
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:36,199
Brazilian jiu jitsu, Sorry, I got that, making sure they

2586
02:13:36,239 --> 02:13:41,479
were grappling exercise. They were grappling, all right, He kept saying,

2587
02:13:41,720 --> 02:13:47,359
forget it. So I don't think that dings him because again,

2588
02:13:47,479 --> 02:13:50,479
let me, if you think the Belichick hatus, people will

2589
02:13:50,560 --> 02:13:52,600
find out who didn't vote for Tom Brady in the

2590
02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:57,720
first go round and they will be uh trd and feathered. Basically,

2591
02:13:59,560 --> 02:14:02,600
don't care. I get it. At first, I didn't get it,

2592
02:14:02,640 --> 02:14:04,640
but once we we factored in the spygate and all

2593
02:14:04,640 --> 02:14:06,600
the other stuff. So is that a bit of hypocrisy

2594
02:14:06,680 --> 02:14:10,359
on my end that I'm like Tom deflated the balls

2595
02:14:10,439 --> 02:14:14,359
or had the balls deflated and he got suspended. Why

2596
02:14:14,359 --> 02:14:16,199
am I not holding him to the same sort of

2597
02:14:16,960 --> 02:14:20,920
uh sanctimony when it comes to Bill Belichick unto the

2598
02:14:20,960 --> 02:14:25,039
flight Gate I think, I think videos. I think videotaping

2599
02:14:25,079 --> 02:14:29,640
an opposing team illegally for for allegedly up to maybe

2600
02:14:29,720 --> 02:14:32,640
multiple seasons, is a more egregious offense than taking a

2601
02:14:32,680 --> 02:14:33,840
little air of the ball so you can get a

2602
02:14:33,880 --> 02:14:37,640
better grip on it. I would agree with that, like

2603
02:14:37,880 --> 02:14:43,319
I think steroid injection is worse than doctoring or baseball

2604
02:14:43,399 --> 02:14:48,800
this because yeah, there's different lowls, like a misdemeanors versus felonies. Yeah,

2605
02:14:49,239 --> 02:14:51,760
or slap on the wrist, I get a little fine

2606
02:14:52,279 --> 02:14:53,800
or you need to be in jail for taming. That's

2607
02:14:53,800 --> 02:14:55,520
the one thing about his degrees, And that's the one

2608
02:14:55,560 --> 02:14:57,760
thing that people don't do in sports when you break

2609
02:14:57,840 --> 02:15:01,119
these things down, is you people tend to believe it

2610
02:15:01,159 --> 02:15:06,520
all crimes are created equal. Yeah, there's the degrees of

2611
02:15:06,640 --> 02:15:10,199
many things, if not everything, Because I would, honestly and

2612
02:15:10,399 --> 02:15:17,159
maybe again, I think the concerned effort to steal signals

2613
02:15:17,199 --> 02:15:19,279
for another team is every bit as egregious. What the

2614
02:15:19,279 --> 02:15:21,840
Astros did in twenty seventeen I put on the same

2615
02:15:21,920 --> 02:15:23,880
level I did. That's another thing, too, is that the

2616
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:26,800
Astros are both trying to gain a competitive advantage through

2617
02:15:26,960 --> 02:15:32,439
communications and through anticipating what is coming, when that's not

2618
02:15:32,479 --> 02:15:35,239
the essence of what a sport is. I think it's

2619
02:15:35,279 --> 02:15:38,199
funny because if we asked one hundred baseball fans name

2620
02:15:38,239 --> 02:15:41,039
a team that cheated, Astros would come up first. It's like, Okay,

2621
02:15:41,079 --> 02:15:44,680
the Yankees were punished for it too. The Red Sox

2622
02:15:44,720 --> 02:15:48,159
had multiple scandals. It was the JT. Watkins Alex Cora thing,

2623
02:15:48,279 --> 02:15:50,439
and then it was also the Apple Watch thing, and

2624
02:15:50,520 --> 02:15:53,840
yet they just became the face of it and it

2625
02:15:53,920 --> 02:15:57,239
was very widespread. And that's another Do we know that

2626
02:15:57,359 --> 02:16:01,640
every was every team filming every other teams walked throughs

2627
02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:05,880
to steal signals? I don't know. I don't think. So

2628
02:16:05,960 --> 02:16:09,560
we hadn't heard anything about that. Let's see. Yeah, there's

2629
02:16:09,600 --> 02:16:12,920
a little nuanced discussion. For sure, it's not apples to apples,

2630
02:16:13,720 --> 02:16:17,760
but the Astros did break the rules. Alex Bregman, well,

2631
02:16:18,039 --> 02:16:21,760
he's borderline case if at best. Right now, anyway, and

2632
02:16:21,840 --> 02:16:24,399
here comes the Astro fan of me for a second. Okay,

2633
02:16:24,560 --> 02:16:27,000
I've always said this, and you know I've not changed

2634
02:16:27,039 --> 02:16:29,439
my tune on this. I've said if for Mike Fires,

2635
02:16:29,479 --> 02:16:31,640
if Mike Fires would have got a brand new contract,

2636
02:16:32,239 --> 02:16:33,959
it would have been welcome to the Astros. He'd been

2637
02:16:34,000 --> 02:16:36,159
getting shelled by them when he was at the age. Yeah,

2638
02:16:36,799 --> 02:16:38,920
he would have been more than happy to keep his

2639
02:16:39,040 --> 02:16:43,879
mouth shut. There wasn't this. This wasn't this sweet innocent

2640
02:16:43,920 --> 02:16:46,520
for the essence of the game and to keep the uh,

2641
02:16:46,920 --> 02:16:49,440
the integrity going. He was doing it. He was a

2642
02:16:49,479 --> 02:16:53,200
bitter a hole and was mad at the Astros. And honestly,

2643
02:16:53,360 --> 02:16:55,280
if this was going on with a lot of other teams,

2644
02:16:55,280 --> 02:16:58,559
which I truly believe it was, if Mike Fires were

2645
02:16:58,600 --> 02:17:00,680
in Toronto Blue Jay gear and that happened to him there,

2646
02:17:00,680 --> 02:17:04,239
he would have probably exposed the Toronto Blue Jays wrong

2647
02:17:04,360 --> 02:17:08,239
person to piss off for a guy who didn't deserve

2648
02:17:08,280 --> 02:17:11,920
to be back on the team, and the wrong team

2649
02:17:13,360 --> 02:17:16,120
Mike Fires a since had he read he could have

2650
02:17:16,159 --> 02:17:17,840
done it there. It's just as easy as the Astros.

2651
02:17:18,440 --> 02:17:22,079
I will fall on the greatest baseball sort of all

2652
02:17:22,200 --> 02:17:25,079
time saying that if you took if you went into

2653
02:17:25,079 --> 02:17:27,559
the locker rooms of thirty different clubhouses, thirty different and

2654
02:17:27,639 --> 02:17:29,879
Major League Baseball teams, I would safely tell you that

2655
02:17:30,000 --> 02:17:32,120
twenty five of them were doing about the same exact

2656
02:17:32,280 --> 02:17:34,120
thing as the Astros are doing. Is it it Josh

2657
02:17:34,159 --> 02:17:36,000
Reddick or somebody has said Mike fires is one of

2658
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:38,360
the ones banging on the trash can like he was

2659
02:17:38,399 --> 02:17:41,120
one of the ones helping out. Yeah, so don't give

2660
02:17:41,200 --> 02:17:44,600
me this this thought of well, it was just the Astros.

2661
02:17:44,680 --> 02:17:49,760
I will never believe that because we have Boston, we

2662
02:17:49,959 --> 02:17:55,559
have the Yankees, and we have the last decade Rossie.

2663
02:17:55,639 --> 02:17:59,159
We have people saying over and over again players, oh

2664
02:18:00,280 --> 02:18:02,719
it was happening in our clubhouse too. The Astros just

2665
02:18:02,799 --> 02:18:05,479
having to get caught first, and it's scared everybody, and

2666
02:18:05,600 --> 02:18:07,799
sometimes it takes one team to be the fall guy

2667
02:18:07,840 --> 02:18:10,719
in order for everybody to be scared about it. Yeah,

2668
02:18:10,840 --> 02:18:14,680
just look over here, Rob Banford says, Astros, Astros, Astros,

2669
02:18:17,120 --> 02:18:19,959
And honestly, I'm telling you this, and I don't we'll

2670
02:18:20,000 --> 02:18:21,520
hopefully not bring this up a whole lot more than

2671
02:18:21,520 --> 02:18:24,559
the rest of our life here. But in my mind,

2672
02:18:24,600 --> 02:18:26,639
the Astros are lucky they didn't get the World Series trophy.

2673
02:18:26,719 --> 02:18:30,200
Taken from him. I they would have gotten I think

2674
02:18:30,239 --> 02:18:32,520
Jim Crane would have filed the lawsuit. They would ye.

2675
02:18:33,079 --> 02:18:34,360
I mean, I'm saying it could have been a whole

2676
02:18:34,399 --> 02:18:39,479
different level of courtroom conversation. I think they would have

2677
02:18:39,479 --> 02:18:43,079
gotten slapped with a lawsuit. Red Sox eighteen title could be.

2678
02:18:43,120 --> 02:18:44,600
I think it was got a whole can of worms

2679
02:18:44,639 --> 02:18:47,079
that did. Rob Banford didn't want to open up. All right,

2680
02:18:47,120 --> 02:18:49,120
let's talk. Yeah, let's talk to em DOCA next one

2681
02:18:49,200 --> 02:18:51,040
twenty six here on the Matt Thomas Show with Raw

2682
02:18:51,159 --> 02:18:54,600
seven one three, two, one two five, seven ninety Do

2683
02:18:54,719 --> 02:18:57,399
you do Bill Belichick believe it or not? Today? You

2684
02:18:57,479 --> 02:18:59,000
know what going the archives? I know we gotta we

2685
02:18:59,000 --> 02:19:02,399
gotta find one that'd be the worst thing. Rossie up next,

2686
02:19:02,639 --> 02:19:07,600
you made Doka here on seven ninety. Let's spend ten calling.

2687
02:19:07,600 --> 02:19:09,319
I mean it's right now with the head basketball coach

2688
02:19:09,399 --> 02:19:11,639
over your Houston Rockets. He may a Doka Rockets taking

2689
02:19:11,719 --> 02:19:14,479
on the Spurs tonight eight thirty, which could be either

2690
02:19:14,520 --> 02:19:16,760
eight forty two or eight forty seven depending on TV.

2691
02:19:16,920 --> 02:19:19,239
Then tomorrow night will be in Atlanta to take on

2692
02:19:19,360 --> 02:19:22,840
the Hawks. Coaches with us here, do you get the

2693
02:19:22,959 --> 02:19:26,440
guys prepared ever sold differently because of the late start

2694
02:19:26,639 --> 02:19:28,239
or is it just the naps go a little bit

2695
02:19:28,280 --> 02:19:29,120
longer in the afternoon.

2696
02:19:30,760 --> 02:19:32,920
Speaker 3: No, we try to keep the schedule pretty much the same.

2697
02:19:33,000 --> 02:19:35,000
We don't push back, shoot around or anything. I think

2698
02:19:35,120 --> 02:19:37,959
guys are in their routines and more than anything, to

2699
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:39,600
your point, that gives it as the next hour or

2700
02:19:39,600 --> 02:19:40,799
so to relax and get ready.

2701
02:19:41,760 --> 02:19:45,159
Speaker 2: Uh, talk about routines. What is the one thing that

2702
02:19:45,360 --> 02:19:47,520
does bother a team you've coached on how long enough

2703
02:19:47,559 --> 02:19:49,719
you were a player, you were an assistant coach. What

2704
02:19:50,000 --> 02:19:53,680
makes routines I guess for anybody important, But why NBA

2705
02:19:53,760 --> 02:19:56,479
players are so fixated on on an hour by hour basis.

2706
02:19:58,239 --> 02:20:00,239
Speaker 3: I think you've once youve been doing it for certain

2707
02:20:00,239 --> 02:20:02,040
amount of time, you just get in that mode of

2708
02:20:03,040 --> 02:20:04,879
you know when to wake up, when to take your nap,

2709
02:20:05,040 --> 02:20:08,000
when to eat, and kind of everything set, especially on

2710
02:20:08,079 --> 02:20:11,399
game days, first day, specific times and uh, you know

2711
02:20:11,559 --> 02:20:13,920
that's the game game day routine that a lot of

2712
02:20:13,959 --> 02:20:16,239
guys stick by. And when you get thrown off, whether

2713
02:20:16,319 --> 02:20:19,079
it's that time or something happens in the afternoon, a

2714
02:20:19,159 --> 02:20:22,159
lot of guys rhythm and timing and clock gets kind

2715
02:20:22,159 --> 02:20:23,559
of thrown off, so you try to keep it as

2716
02:20:23,639 --> 02:20:26,120
much as similar as possible, and that's why we didn't

2717
02:20:26,159 --> 02:20:28,680
move anything around, even though we're starting a little bit

2718
02:20:28,719 --> 02:20:29,159
later tonight.

2719
02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:31,639
Speaker 2: My assumption is that Alpi didn't go to you directly

2720
02:20:31,680 --> 02:20:33,959
before the game and say, Santi al Domini's going to

2721
02:20:34,000 --> 02:20:35,959
guard me, so let me have the ball as much

2722
02:20:35,959 --> 02:20:38,159
as I can. Because that was as efficient as he's

2723
02:20:38,200 --> 02:20:39,280
been as a Houston Rocket.

2724
02:20:40,920 --> 02:20:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they did the same thing last game.

2725
02:20:43,319 --> 02:20:44,840
You know, a lot of teams want to put bigger

2726
02:20:44,879 --> 02:20:49,760
bodies on I'm in and so Jared Jackson Junior guarded him.

2727
02:20:50,079 --> 02:20:52,399
Alpi was guarded by Aldam Alaska, and we saw some

2728
02:20:52,479 --> 02:20:56,200
things that worked well in Memphis. But you know they're

2729
02:20:56,200 --> 02:20:58,120
going to try to plug lane with Jared Jackson being

2730
02:20:58,159 --> 02:21:00,639
the weakside help. And you know, Alpert made great passes

2731
02:21:00,719 --> 02:21:03,680
but also got the ball a really deep scoring position

2732
02:21:03,879 --> 02:21:05,120
before the double team could get there.

2733
02:21:06,840 --> 02:21:09,520
Speaker 2: You mentioned a man career high and assists he had fourteen.

2734
02:21:09,799 --> 02:21:13,079
Scoring numbers have dropped a little bit coincidental or has

2735
02:21:13,159 --> 02:21:16,200
it become a little bit of Hey, he's becoming even

2736
02:21:16,399 --> 02:21:18,600
better facilitator than he was, maybe even before the start

2737
02:21:18,639 --> 02:21:19,120
of the season.

2738
02:21:20,639 --> 02:21:22,559
Speaker 3: No, he's definitely grown in that area. I think he

2739
02:21:22,680 --> 02:21:24,840
missed some shots he would usually make. You know, he

2740
02:21:24,879 --> 02:21:27,760
went three for ten there, but you know, honestly could

2741
02:21:27,760 --> 02:21:29,719
have Tony assist if we if we knocked down some

2742
02:21:29,799 --> 02:21:32,799
open shots earlier in the game before we finally started

2743
02:21:32,879 --> 02:21:35,799
making them later. But I think him getting downhill, he's

2744
02:21:35,799 --> 02:21:38,120
starting to see the court better. He had some really

2745
02:21:38,239 --> 02:21:40,440
nice passes, you know, one to Kevin on the back door,

2746
02:21:40,799 --> 02:21:43,639
a drop off or two to Alpie and then you know,

2747
02:21:43,760 --> 02:21:47,479
some some kickouts off of penetration so you see in

2748
02:21:47,520 --> 02:21:50,360
the floor better. You know, that's a balance that he

2749
02:21:50,479 --> 02:21:52,520
has to strike all year, is when to be aggressive,

2750
02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:54,799
get down hill and get to the basket, or when

2751
02:21:54,840 --> 02:21:57,159
he has to read and make plays. And like I said,

2752
02:21:57,280 --> 02:21:59,879
Jared Jackson Junior sitting back clogging the lane off of him,

2753
02:22:00,239 --> 02:22:01,760
he ate up a lot of that space. They help

2754
02:22:01,840 --> 02:22:03,200
still came and then he made the right play.

2755
02:22:03,680 --> 02:22:07,040
Speaker 2: Rocket Tech coach Imadoka was here on Sports Talk seven

2756
02:22:07,319 --> 02:22:11,639
ninety Tari Easan just tell us how well obviously he's

2757
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:13,879
been shooting well from three and the things you like

2758
02:22:13,920 --> 02:22:18,159
that you're seeing from him keeping him in the starting lineup, so.

2759
02:22:18,399 --> 02:22:20,040
Speaker 3: You know, a big part of it was him coming

2760
02:22:20,079 --> 02:22:24,959
off the injury restrictions with the ankle, and so we

2761
02:22:25,040 --> 02:22:26,959
want to ramp him back up. He's got those games

2762
02:22:27,000 --> 02:22:29,879
under his belt now, and you know, it doesn't take

2763
02:22:29,920 --> 02:22:32,079
a lot to see how effective he was and we

2764
02:22:32,200 --> 02:22:34,280
were when he was starting before he went out with

2765
02:22:34,319 --> 02:22:37,280
the ankle, and so like to have two really good

2766
02:22:37,440 --> 02:22:39,239
night dy defenders out there, him and I'm in or

2767
02:22:39,319 --> 02:22:42,040
that Josh is that when he's out and Dorian getting

2768
02:22:42,040 --> 02:22:44,600
his way back in now. So I think they're formidable

2769
02:22:44,600 --> 02:22:46,600
as far as that. They did a really good job

2770
02:22:46,680 --> 02:22:49,479
on Spencer and Coward, you know, two young guys who

2771
02:22:49,520 --> 02:22:51,559
were really playing well for Memphis, and so you see

2772
02:22:51,639 --> 02:22:53,799
their numbers across the board, and we'll look for them

2773
02:22:53,799 --> 02:22:55,479
to do the same thing tonight with the Spur guys.

2774
02:22:56,079 --> 02:22:57,719
Speaker 2: What is it like playing the Spurs? It's not like

2775
02:22:57,799 --> 02:23:00,639
you just played them but not too many games ago.

2776
02:23:00,920 --> 02:23:03,239
Is there a little bit of cat and mouse game

2777
02:23:03,280 --> 02:23:05,239
with game planning tonight or is it kind of stick

2778
02:23:05,280 --> 02:23:05,879
to the same.

2779
02:23:07,319 --> 02:23:09,559
Speaker 3: Well there back and forth. We saw some things we

2780
02:23:09,680 --> 02:23:13,280
really did well against Webbyama specifically, you know, to hold

2781
02:23:13,360 --> 02:23:15,760
him to five for twenty one is a great job.

2782
02:23:15,840 --> 02:23:18,360
We took away his space. We're very physical, denied a

2783
02:23:18,399 --> 02:23:20,040
lot of his catches, got him off the spot, and

2784
02:23:20,159 --> 02:23:22,399
so that was a full team effort and everybody else

2785
02:23:22,440 --> 02:23:24,760
to kind of be on board with that. And then

2786
02:23:24,840 --> 02:23:26,479
you and then a men did a really good job

2787
02:23:26,520 --> 02:23:30,159
off Fox. Jabari was exceptional on Castle. You know, only

2788
02:23:30,200 --> 02:23:32,719
one free throw forer guy that is a really good salvator,

2789
02:23:33,319 --> 02:23:35,280
and forced him into eight three pointers, which is not

2790
02:23:35,479 --> 02:23:38,399
necessarily his game. And so I think across the board

2791
02:23:38,440 --> 02:23:39,719
we did well to think we're going to have to

2792
02:23:39,799 --> 02:23:42,520
obviously do his account for Champagnee much better. You know,

2793
02:23:42,559 --> 02:23:44,200
he got up ten threes in the first half, made

2794
02:23:44,239 --> 02:23:47,840
six of them, and then Miselle being back now they're

2795
02:23:47,879 --> 02:23:49,520
very similar as far as that, so he had another

2796
02:23:49,559 --> 02:23:50,319
shooters in the mix.

2797
02:23:51,360 --> 02:23:53,639
Speaker 2: Emil, I love the term falbator. It's just so good.

2798
02:23:53,879 --> 02:23:57,120
It's just the truth. I mean, we compared to when

2799
02:23:57,159 --> 02:23:59,120
you were playing, how many how often you said that

2800
02:23:59,200 --> 02:24:00,920
phrase when you're like, I gotta go against this guy.

2801
02:24:00,959 --> 02:24:03,399
These guys were searching for foul shots.

2802
02:24:04,719 --> 02:24:06,920
Speaker 3: I mean, there was one or two guys maybe in

2803
02:24:07,000 --> 02:24:09,239
the league, maybe three. It seems like there's one or

2804
02:24:09,280 --> 02:24:10,399
two guys on every team.

2805
02:24:10,239 --> 02:24:12,440
Speaker 2: Now team, Yeah, there's no sixty.

2806
02:24:12,719 --> 02:24:16,719
Speaker 3: Really really it's really different. I mean the physicality of defense.

2807
02:24:16,799 --> 02:24:19,920
Back then, if the rules were the same, you would

2808
02:24:19,959 --> 02:24:21,920
have fouled out every game for sure. And so a

2809
02:24:22,000 --> 02:24:23,879
guy that really stands out to me is Kevin Martin.

2810
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:27,559
Great at great first step and great had drawing that

2811
02:24:27,639 --> 02:24:29,840
foul if he drew a little contact, and so playing

2812
02:24:29,879 --> 02:24:31,600
against him a bunch and then played with him briefly

2813
02:24:31,639 --> 02:24:33,799
and Sacramento saw how good he was with that. But

2814
02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:36,079
back then it was you know, one or two guys,

2815
02:24:36,159 --> 02:24:38,200
and now it's a little bit of everybody. So something

2816
02:24:38,200 --> 02:24:40,559
you have to prepare for, and keeping guys off the

2817
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:43,079
line is a major key to their success and our

2818
02:24:43,120 --> 02:24:43,760
team success.

2819
02:24:44,280 --> 02:24:46,959
Speaker 2: Any final decision about who's going to sit tonight or

2820
02:24:47,000 --> 02:24:49,159
maybe tomorrow or is that still going to play things

2821
02:24:49,239 --> 02:24:51,239
out how things go against the Spurs before you figure

2822
02:24:51,239 --> 02:24:52,280
out who's going to sit and stay.

2823
02:24:53,360 --> 02:24:55,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean, the only guys we really talk about

2824
02:24:55,559 --> 02:24:57,159
are the guys that can't play it back to backs

2825
02:24:57,239 --> 02:25:00,719
yet and we're holding Tarry out and tomorrow they'll both

2826
02:25:00,719 --> 02:25:01,200
play tonight.

2827
02:25:01,520 --> 02:25:05,000
Speaker 2: Okay, very good. A lot of back to backs, I

2828
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:06,879
don't I don't know, you're not much of a calendar looker,

2829
02:25:06,920 --> 02:25:08,680
because every time I ask you about who's playing, You're like, well,

2830
02:25:08,840 --> 02:25:12,399
we're only like two opponents ahead. But is it kind

2831
02:25:12,399 --> 02:25:14,639
of a race to the All Star break to give

2832
02:25:14,959 --> 02:25:17,600
guys as much going as you can and then you know, look,

2833
02:25:17,879 --> 02:25:19,360
you can get that rest and that we're about the

2834
02:25:19,440 --> 02:25:21,200
calenter once that mid season break starts.

2835
02:25:22,840 --> 02:25:26,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think. You know, for us, it's back to

2836
02:25:26,120 --> 02:25:27,799
back each week the rest of the way, and so

2837
02:25:28,399 --> 02:25:30,040
you know, we didn't have a lot early, but you know,

2838
02:25:30,159 --> 02:25:32,000
had the have the Philly Detroit. Now we have these

2839
02:25:32,040 --> 02:25:34,159
two and then next week it will be the same thing,

2840
02:25:34,200 --> 02:25:35,760
and then we finish with the Clippers back to back

2841
02:25:35,760 --> 02:25:38,600
at home, and so for us, it's finding that balance,

2842
02:25:38,760 --> 02:25:40,520
you know, a bunch of games three and four nights

2843
02:25:40,559 --> 02:25:43,280
of back to backs. But you know, getting guys back healthy,

2844
02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:46,319
getting guys off minute restrictions definitely helps. And they're relying

2845
02:25:46,360 --> 02:25:48,719
on your depth. You know, obviously, Kevin and I'm in

2846
02:25:48,799 --> 02:25:52,000
their shouldering the load with the minutes, but I want

2847
02:25:52,040 --> 02:25:54,200
to save those down as much as possible. Anytime you

2848
02:25:54,239 --> 02:25:56,159
get a chance to wrestle those guys get a comfortable win,

2849
02:25:56,280 --> 02:25:57,559
it would definitely be beneficial.

2850
02:25:57,840 --> 02:25:59,719
Speaker 2: I love the Detroit game because it was a back

2851
02:25:59,719 --> 02:26:01,840
to back, it was a win, tough flight, whatever the

2852
02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:03,719
case be, getting in midl of the night. There. How

2853
02:26:03,760 --> 02:26:05,520
many times are you going to see a team like

2854
02:26:05,600 --> 02:26:07,159
Detroit over the course of the season. And I don't

2855
02:26:07,159 --> 02:26:09,040
know if it's necessarily East versus West, because there's some

2856
02:26:09,079 --> 02:26:11,559
physical teams obviously in the West. But that was kind

2857
02:26:11,559 --> 02:26:13,600
of a little bit more of an old school approach

2858
02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:16,520
to playing a basketball game, where it was not necessarily

2859
02:26:16,559 --> 02:26:19,719
a fifteen round boxing fight, but it was certainly, even

2860
02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:23,559
in the perimeter, a very physical contest. Yeah.

2861
02:26:23,600 --> 02:26:27,000
Speaker 3: I mean, we've established ourselves as the most physical, if

2862
02:26:27,079 --> 02:26:29,959
not one of them, in the last few years, and

2863
02:26:30,079 --> 02:26:32,719
so we want to maintain that identity while growing and

2864
02:26:32,760 --> 02:26:36,120
improving in other areas and understanding the success that's brought

2865
02:26:36,159 --> 02:26:39,280
us over the last years. And then Detroit has somewhat

2866
02:26:39,319 --> 02:26:41,520
done the same thing. The personnel is definitely that and

2867
02:26:42,120 --> 02:26:45,559
I think bigger staff is kind of getting those guys

2868
02:26:45,639 --> 02:26:47,040
on the same page as far as that. But you

2869
02:26:47,120 --> 02:26:49,479
look at Duran, you look at Stewart, you look at

2870
02:26:49,520 --> 02:26:52,920
some of their guys, their natural physical guys and defenders,

2871
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:55,559
and so they bought into that and it's been successful

2872
02:26:55,680 --> 02:26:57,360
for them as well out on the East, and so

2873
02:26:58,040 --> 02:26:59,559
you knew that game was going to be somewhat that.

2874
02:27:00,520 --> 02:27:02,760
I think both teams enjoy that, enjoy playing that way,

2875
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:04,959
and we got the better them this time. They got

2876
02:27:05,040 --> 02:27:06,559
the better of us early at home this.

2877
02:27:06,639 --> 02:27:10,399
Speaker 2: Year, one week and change away from the trade deadline.

2878
02:27:10,399 --> 02:27:12,200
Of course we know Steven Adams out for a link

2879
02:27:12,280 --> 02:27:15,719
of time. Are you in content constant contact with Rafel

2880
02:27:15,879 --> 02:27:18,520
as far as regards to trades or more focus on

2881
02:27:18,559 --> 02:27:19,479
what's happening on the court.

2882
02:27:21,120 --> 02:27:23,760
Speaker 3: No, we definitely talk, and you don't meet with you know,

2883
02:27:23,840 --> 02:27:26,040
every few days a week, especially around this time, and

2884
02:27:26,159 --> 02:27:28,959
so more so than anything, you know, people are checking

2885
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:31,079
in and very interested in a lot of our pieces,

2886
02:27:31,120 --> 02:27:33,879
and so it's more adapt than anything. I think he's

2887
02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:36,680
just touching base with people, and obviously people are reaching

2888
02:27:36,719 --> 02:27:38,520
out with a lot more interest in us than we

2889
02:27:38,639 --> 02:27:39,399
do in other people.

2890
02:27:40,079 --> 02:27:41,559
Speaker 2: Do you ever respond back new phone?

2891
02:27:41,559 --> 02:27:47,799
Speaker 3: Who is? And I don't get the calls anyway, Like cal.

2892
02:27:47,719 --> 02:27:50,000
Speaker 2: Rafel, I ain't got time for you. Hey, you may

2893
02:27:50,120 --> 02:27:51,920
thank you for the time. Good luck tonight and we

2894
02:27:51,959 --> 02:27:53,600
will see at the arena for the game against his

2895
02:27:53,639 --> 02:27:54,440
purs looking forward to it.

2896
02:27:55,399 --> 02:27:56,079
Speaker 3: Thank you, you got it.

2897
02:27:56,120 --> 02:27:57,559
Speaker 2: He may a doker with us here on the show.

2898
02:27:58,239 --> 02:28:01,079
Maybe it's better, it's a better question for new phone.

2899
02:28:01,120 --> 02:28:05,280
Who is Yeah, I like that. That's very very interesting insight.

2900
02:28:05,479 --> 02:28:08,040
Teams more interested in the rockets pieces than maybe they

2901
02:28:08,079 --> 02:28:10,600
are in theirs. And I'm gonna be honest with you,

2902
02:28:11,719 --> 02:28:14,399
It's kind of felt that from the jump. Yeah, I've

2903
02:28:14,559 --> 02:28:17,280
never got even with the Fred van Vleet injury, did

2904
02:28:17,319 --> 02:28:20,760
I ever get the sense of, man, what we're gonna do,

2905
02:28:20,879 --> 02:28:23,600
how we're gonna replace? Because remember Fred was playing ROSSI

2906
02:28:23,639 --> 02:28:25,479
about thirty seven minutes a game. I mean, you were

2907
02:28:25,520 --> 02:28:28,799
missing production as a true point guard, as a perimeter threat,

2908
02:28:28,799 --> 02:28:31,520
and he was also playing a lot of minutes. My

2909
02:28:31,719 --> 02:28:34,799
first thought was when this happened, they loved to read

2910
02:28:34,840 --> 02:28:36,600
Shepherd for a reason two years ago. Is a number

2911
02:28:36,639 --> 02:28:38,280
three pick. They're like, read, this is your time, We're

2912
02:28:38,280 --> 02:28:40,200
gonna give you more minutes, and now we're gonna definitely

2913
02:28:40,200 --> 02:28:42,440
give you more minutes because we need you to step

2914
02:28:42,559 --> 02:28:45,120
up and fill up some of that role. Uh did

2915
02:28:45,159 --> 02:28:47,040
I read this correctly? Was he zero for seven from

2916
02:28:47,079 --> 02:28:49,239
three in the last game? Yes, he was. He is

2917
02:28:50,000 --> 02:28:54,280
unfortunately one for his last fourteen. But that's gonna change tonight. Yeah, okay,
