00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: Is The Matt Thomas Show with Ross.

2
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: Ten O one in h Town.

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,039
Speaker 3: Good morning, and welcome to a Wednesday edition of The

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:23,559
Matt Thomas Show. Today from cold, cloudy, dreary Cleveland, Ohio.

5
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,839
Speaker 4: Set everyone that lives in Cleveland for like nine months

6
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:29,160
a year, Rossville Real Hall.

7
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 5: The hell are you man?

8
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,359
Speaker 3: I'm doing great, Matthew. Sounds like it's dreary over there,

9
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,479
but I imagine you're inside in some five diamond accommodations.

10
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,399
You're doing okay, and thats accurate. I have an important

11
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:42,079
question to start the show. Yes, sir, how did the

12
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:42,679
casino go?

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 5: Very well, you're gonna be mad.

14
00:00:47,359 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna be massy.

15
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:50,799
Speaker 3: It was unless you held it a poor old lady

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,039
for playing her hand the way she wanted to.

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,119
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, no.

18
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 6: Okay.

19
00:00:54,759 --> 00:00:57,799
Speaker 4: Uh it was a very slow night. Uh not every

20
00:00:57,799 --> 00:00:59,920
table is open. It's a Tuesday in Cleveland, Ohio.

21
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:01,799
Speaker 3: It is what it is, okay, and only the true

22
00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:02,840
degenerates are there.

23
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,079
Speaker 4: So this casino I thought had an affiliation with the

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,200
big club casinos. The Jack does not. Jack Casino does not.

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,840
So you know they're not worried. You know, they were

26
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,040
probably a little more worried about their margins than perhaps

27
00:01:14,079 --> 00:01:20,280
the rezers or the memg memes. I could only find

28
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:21,439
six y five on the black jack.

29
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: There's not a literally not a single three to two table.

30
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 5: I looked at about eight tables.

31
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: There could be maybe at the fifty dollars high lemon

32
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:31,159
hundred dollars once you get three to two.

33
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 5: I was betting fifteen dollars.

34
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 4: A hand, and I was look, I was only gonna

35
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,640
go for like an hour, so I need to get

36
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,200
some work done and get ready for the show today.

37
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,159
So I said, you know what, I'm gonna just take

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,599
the l because I know my great friend and my

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,480
partner would be so disappointed in me.

40
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: But I had to play disappointed you. Oh no, A

41
00:01:49,359 --> 00:01:51,799
for lighting money on fire, and B for being giving

42
00:01:51,799 --> 00:01:54,439
the casinos reasons to keep only giving six five because

43
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:55,239
people sit at it.

44
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: Well again, you know, I'm done with crabs. I told

45
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,840
you that I'd been very sure. I'm pretty sure.

46
00:02:01,799 --> 00:02:03,519
Speaker 3: That's what I thought you were gonna say. When you

47
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,159
said I was gonna be disappointed in you, I thought

48
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,680
you were gonna no, no, rolled some nice no.

49
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 5: I will say, I'm plus one seventy for the trip.

50
00:02:10,719 --> 00:02:13,159
So I'm very very good job. Yeah, I forget you'd

51
00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:14,800
be pleased with me, all right.

52
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,159
Speaker 4: Uh So, yesterday our flight up here was fine for

53
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:20,080
a while, and then it got kind of bumping the

54
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:24,240
last half last hour. And normally I'll have a maybe

55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,199
an alcoholic beverage or something to kind of ease the bumpiness.

56
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,080
But that wasn't gonna be possible in another flight.

57
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:31,879
Speaker 5: Uh So I decided to go to my Twitter campt.

58
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,599
Speaker 4: This plane we're on right now has fantastic Internet, and so,

59
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,520
I mean it is it's like with the like what

60
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,919
Schmida using now where you like that starlink or whatever

61
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,240
it is where you get it like it's stantaneously.

62
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 5: It's really good.

63
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: That's bad. Actually probably should be off phones. I went

64
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,479
to the for you tab. Oh no, what's your name?

65
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,599
Speaker 2: No?

66
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 4: You always think the worst of me on the for

67
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,520
you tab. I mean that's fairly accurate. I mean I

68
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,120
do see Taylor stuff on there in her.

69
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,479
Speaker 3: Huh she did, how's her baby?

70
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,719
Speaker 5: She's bouncing baby?

71
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 3: Or her oh my god, by the way her she

72
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,319
put Taylor put a photo up of her husband.

73
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 5: He looks like a normal dude. I mean, nothing on

74
00:03:13,599 --> 00:03:15,960
of the or product rich My thought was he was

75
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,360
like a seventy year old sugar daddy.

76
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,719
Speaker 3: That's probably a finance bro. He is millions of dollars.

77
00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:22,840
She got in the ground floor on bitcoin or something.

78
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 4: So I was looking up text and stuff because uh

79
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,719
CJ officially was ruled out for the game tomorrow and

80
00:03:30,039 --> 00:03:34,199
was Jalen Petrie. So the four you tab is I

81
00:03:34,199 --> 00:03:36,039
put in Davis Mills just to kind of see whether

82
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,800
the vibe was.

83
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 3: There is too many.

84
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,159
Speaker 4: There are too many people fans, which I get because

85
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:49,560
fans are fans, but like media and uh and what

86
00:03:49,599 --> 00:03:51,240
do they call when you're when you're looking for people

87
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,360
to acknowledge your tweets and interact, I'm not fishing for

88
00:03:54,800 --> 00:04:02,599
impression farming, farming, farming for for for interaction, clickbaiting, clickbaiting.

89
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 3: Yes, all that.

90
00:04:06,159 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 5: There is a vibe out there, and I believe it's by.

91
00:04:08,439 --> 00:04:10,479
Speaker 4: A very small group of people, But it is a

92
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,560
vibe that are excited about Davis Mills trying to beat

93
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,839
the Buffalo Bills tomorrow night, not necessarily to say that, hey,

94
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,040
we wanted the Technans to win, we want Davis Mills

95
00:04:21,079 --> 00:04:25,000
to do well. There is a small narrative that says

96
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,319
that Davis Mills might have been maybe better equipped to

97
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:29,519
beat the Buffalo Bills, and that Davis Mills may be

98
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:34,040
better equipped to run the Texans. In my history of

99
00:04:34,079 --> 00:04:38,680
my life sports RV, that may be one of the

100
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,600
ten worst takes I've ever seen on Twitter in my

101
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,639
entire life.

102
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: And I'm just.

103
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:51,199
Speaker 5: Look, I don't think CJ is perfect.

104
00:04:51,639 --> 00:04:53,759
Speaker 4: In fact, CJ probably would you say ross to be

105
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,639
Let's be brutally honest, a slight regression from his amazing

106
00:04:56,639 --> 00:04:58,160
freshman years an NFL quarterback.

107
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 3: He is underwhelmed, but he bounced back with a a

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,079
couple of big game I mean once he started to

109
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,040
find a rhythm is when he got his concussion, unfortunately.

110
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 4: But by no means has he embarrassed himself. By no means,

111
00:05:07,959 --> 00:05:09,319
is he a guy that should be worried about his

112
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:12,560
playing time, By no means should be worried about people.

113
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,439
Speaker 5: Behind him, especially because I've.

114
00:05:14,319 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 4: Got a tremendous ample size of Davis Mills. Davis Mills

115
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,199
is a really nice backup quarterback that can help you

116
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,600
out in a pinch for a couple of games. Any

117
00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:25,560
team that uses Davis Mills for seventeen games, and I

118
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,240
don't want to be rude to Davis, because I'm sure

119
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,879
he's a swall fella, But seventeen games of Davis Mills

120
00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:34,240
probably gets you in the six to seven win range.

121
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,160
And that's what not people in this town won.

122
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 5: Correct.

123
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: Correct, He's made a couple of big throws. Most importantly,

124
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,160
he has been at the helm of winning both games,

125
00:05:43,959 --> 00:05:47,160
and he's been a nice backup option. But he is

126
00:05:47,399 --> 00:05:49,560
not c J. Stroud. He's not close.

127
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 4: There was nothing in the game against Tennessee on Sunday

128
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:56,360
that made me at any point for three hours ago, God,

129
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,759
what could this team do if Davis was the real.

130
00:06:00,079 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 5: Number one quarterback?

131
00:06:00,959 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

132
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 5: There was never that was never discussed in my mind.

133
00:06:04,199 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: Did did we not watch the first half the game

134
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:11,480
against the Tennessee Titans? Yes, the Tennessee Titans, Yes, where

135
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,720
they scored sixteen points in the whole game and it

136
00:06:14,759 --> 00:06:17,639
was zero and a half? Right? Or three? Three? Yeah? Three? Nothing?

137
00:06:20,199 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 4: There is nothing that I see in CJ. Stroud that

138
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,959
makes me think Plan B may be better than Plan A.

139
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:30,519
Like back in the day, Ross, this is old This

140
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,839
is OG Rockets, old school Og. Kenny Smith would start

141
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000
games for the Rockets, but there was this young chap

142
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:40,360
named Scott Brooks whould come into the fourth quarter and play,

143
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,800
and he played well. I remember a young Matt Thomas sportscaster.

144
00:06:43,959 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 5: This is young.

145
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:46,199
Speaker 4: That's while I was doing the PA two just look

146
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,879
cutting my chops as a sport hosts. So people were

147
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:50,920
calling like, man, we need to start Scottie.

148
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:54,319
Speaker 3: Brooks, the pocket rocket, the pocket rocket.

149
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,079
Speaker 5: And I think we've run into this in sports a lot.

150
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,639
Speaker 3: Yes, we saw love with a backup. The backup is

151
00:07:01,639 --> 00:07:02,839
a backup for a reason.

152
00:07:03,319 --> 00:07:08,639
Speaker 4: I trust the football acumen of Nick Cassario and of

153
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:10,720
Demico Ryans more than I do.

154
00:07:10,959 --> 00:07:14,079
Speaker 5: Texan Tom Okay.

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 3: Steven Silas is holding back Gary Clark. Uh, let's see

156
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:22,399
Josh Christopher needs to be unleashed. Well the Isaya Harden sign.

157
00:07:22,399 --> 00:07:24,920
People ended up being right, that's not as munch a

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:30,959
unis like, yeah, we love the backups. Mauricio Dubon for

159
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:32,680
the Astros.

160
00:07:32,639 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 5: Oh, what are gonna Should we trade?

161
00:07:35,879 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: Yes, you took a call and that Matt Tom We're

162
00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:40,439
not making this up. We're not hot taking Matt Thomas

163
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,959
took a call. Dubon is hitting hot? Should we trade?

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Al Tuve, I'm bothered by this ross.

165
00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 4: I have to consistently defend the sports acumen of people

166
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,199
in our community in particular.

167
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,439
Speaker 5: I'm troubled by this.

168
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 4: I'm troubled that someone and maybe it's just a bit

169
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:07,519
because look, we do bits on the show too, I'm okay.

170
00:08:07,279 --> 00:08:09,519
Speaker 3: With that, Oh yeah, but not when it goes to

171
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,759
our takes. I don't. I don't make it, do you?

172
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,120
Folks with the take? It's real, it's I believe it. Yeah,

173
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,000
if you go to the show with it. And again,

174
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:19,000
I don't know who it was.

175
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:21,199
Speaker 4: I'm just looking at this is fan This could be

176
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:23,439
people doing their YouTube pages. This could be people just

177
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,040
looking to get some views because their media careers are complete.

178
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:33,480
Nothing's but you can't reasonably decide at the end of

179
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:36,000
the day. Even even if Davis Mills beats the Bills

180
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:38,919
tomorrow night, and my guess it won't because of Davis Mills.

181
00:08:38,919 --> 00:08:41,360
It may he may help, But my guess is the

182
00:08:41,399 --> 00:08:43,279
reason why the Texans beat the Bills tomorrow night is

183
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:46,519
because that is because Josh Allen has a terrible game, okay,

184
00:08:47,159 --> 00:08:50,200
and that the worst run defense in the NFL gets

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,399
to see what he marks go for one.

186
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 5: Hundred and fifteen yards.

187
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the reason why anyway, Because Davis Mills is

188
00:08:55,279 --> 00:08:57,360
twenty six of thirty four for three forty three and

189
00:08:57,399 --> 00:08:58,120
three touchdowns.

190
00:08:58,159 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 5: Okay, and if that happens, then that's really great for

191
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,039
the Texans.

192
00:09:01,759 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: It's funny you were close. He was twenty six of

193
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,720
forty one. His completion percentage hasn't even been great. His

194
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:09,440
yards for a temp haven't been great. He's had a

195
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,159
couple of good throws. We had a lot of bad

196
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,080
ones too. I mean, are these people watching these games?

197
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 4: I just, under no circumstance, can see a spot in

198
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:25,320
my mind that says, if Davis does something special tomorrow,

199
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,440
that there should be a serious conversation about it. So

200
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:29,799
that's all I wanted to say was that the for

201
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,039
you tab is dangerous, and I caught myself up to it.

202
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,159
So I apologize to myself, and I apologize to you,

203
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,480
the great people of Houston, for even bringing up because

204
00:09:37,519 --> 00:09:41,320
my guess is many of you are decent sports fans.

205
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,080
You may not have perfect takes, none of us do,

206
00:09:43,759 --> 00:09:47,200
but you're not going to the can Davis Mills take

207
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,679
the starting spot away from CJ if they beat the

208
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,559
Bills tomorrow night.

209
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 5: That's patently absurd. That's all I had to.

210
00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: Say, thank you, Matt. Sometimes we gotta sometimes you gotta correct,

211
00:10:00,159 --> 00:10:01,279
come correct.

212
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:01,799
Speaker 6: All right.

213
00:10:01,879 --> 00:10:02,039
Speaker 2: So I.

214
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: Know, so a couple weeks ago I was gone for

215
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,639
a day and you guys had like a little fantasy

216
00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:10,960
football court. Yes, we're gonna play. We're gonna do something

217
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,559
a little off that. I've got two things I need

218
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,919
rulings up. Oh okay, so I've decided saying, hey, Ross,

219
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:17,840
I need a ruling. We're gonna call it Sports RV Corps.

220
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:23,080
Oh great, And you're the judge, wonderful. Jonathan is the bailiff, okay,

221
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,440
and I am the Doug Luwellen. For those of you

222
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,679
that are og people sports fans, I'll just present the

223
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,720
case to you, and you are the judge, and you will.

224
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: Be deciding this thing. Now we're excited.

225
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: Well now, whether you decide in favor of one person

226
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,240
or the other, that's up to you. But the judge

227
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,159
makes the final decision. So folks, if you don't like

228
00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:44,039
Judge r V's decision, you can certainly debate them. But

229
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,519
I but I got a couple of good cases for

230
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,919
you today on the show, and we'll get that coming

231
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:52,279
out all right. Also today at the eleven thirty, we

232
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,720
have shut your bumb ass up. And if you heard

233
00:10:54,759 --> 00:10:58,200
Jeremy White, excuse me, if you heard Jeremy White earlier

234
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,120
today from wgr are, he was out with Dan Matthews

235
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,720
thirty minutes ago. So Jeremy White was a guest that

236
00:11:04,759 --> 00:11:07,360
I booked for us today. We're gonna push you back

237
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,399
to one o'clock this afternoon. And I already texted Jeremy,

238
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:12,120
We're gonna be way more entertaining than Dan was.

239
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, I mean, I love you Dan, but we're

240

241
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,639
Speaker 5: We're gonna get into Bill's mafia a little bit.

242
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 3: Okay.

243
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 5: Don't you want to know the inner inner workings of

244
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:25,919
Bill's mafia?

245
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,759
Speaker 3: Not really, I'll give you the inner workings of Bill's

246
00:11:29,759 --> 00:11:35,080
mafia bush like like how big the girl? Oh my gosh,

247
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,960
like do the girls jump a little? Fine? Young ladies

248
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,759
in Buffalo, New York?

249
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,039
Speaker 5: Do you really believe what you just said?

250
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,759
Speaker 3: I've never been there, so how could I say?

251
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 5: Okay, what do you think they look like?

252
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,799
Speaker 3: I think they look like nice young ladies. What do

253
00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:52,080
you mean?

254
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 4: Why did you google Buffalo Bill's fan female fancye how

255
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,159
that turns out.

256
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a lot of hot ones.

257
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,039
Speaker 4: Okay, we'll get the We'll get Jeremy White's take on

258
00:12:01,039 --> 00:12:04,480
this in a much more politically correct way. I'll just

259
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,320
gotta find out if Josh Allen's gonna be any good.

260
00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,879
You know Josh Allen doesn't play well against Texans.

261
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:13,279
Speaker 3: Well that well, it's not about him not playing well. Man,

262
00:12:13,279 --> 00:12:14,600
Why don't you Why don't you give some credit to

263
00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:16,320
the Texans swarm?

264
00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: I do give credit to Texans.

265
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,639
Speaker 3: Josh Allen having a bad game. It's a Texans defense

266
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,000
playing well and Ryans it was a rookie Patterson.

267
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: Yes, Texans defense owns Josh Allen, believe it or not.

268
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,799
Seven one three two one two five seven ninty. Now,

269
00:12:34,879 --> 00:12:37,600
if any of you are there, you went to your

270
00:12:37,639 --> 00:12:39,960
Twitter account and said, I can't wait for Davis Mills

271
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,240
to beat the Bills so we can have a quarterback debate.

272
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:47,240
If you're that person and would like to potentially justify

273
00:12:47,279 --> 00:12:51,759
your argument, I'll listen to it. I'm probably gonna make

274
00:12:51,759 --> 00:12:55,559
fun of you, but I'll listen to it. Now, if

275
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,480
you can't do it and you think it's the most

276
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,639
ridiculous thing ever heard in your life. Then let me

277
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,639
know that as well, because I just want to make

278
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,519
sure that our awesome listening audiences, the Matt Thomas Shola

279
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:12,399
Ross doesn't really believe that, can't possibly believe that. Also

280
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,519
today the astros infield, Rossie got a little less congested.

281
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,159
We'll get to that too, coming back. Our time is

282
00:13:18,399 --> 00:13:20,360
ten thirteen. It's Matt and Ross with you until two

283
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,519
o'clock this afternoon. Seven one three two one two five

284
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,840
seven ninety seven one three two one.

285
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 5: Two five seven.

286
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 4: Nuntie, you can't possibly believe that Davis Mills is a

287
00:13:31,399 --> 00:13:32,399
better answer than CJ.

288
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 5: Stroup. You just can't. I don't think I'm gonna let

289
00:13:35,519 --> 00:13:35,919
you do it.

290
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: So even if you do believe it, I'm gonna spend

291
00:13:38,399 --> 00:13:40,799
the next two hours, three hours and forty eight minutes

292
00:13:40,799 --> 00:13:43,240
of this show convincing you otherwise. And oh, by the way, Ross,

293
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,000
we got a big game tonight in the old NBA,

294
00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:48,320
your beloved Houston Rockets taken on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

295
00:13:48,799 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: Let's go Houston. Pay attention to these Rockets of it.

296
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 5: They deserve your attention. They just do, yes, they do.

297
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,759
Seven one three two one two five, seven ninety.

298
00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:02,759
Speaker 4: We got Sports RB Court coming out later on this

299
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:03,879
hour of the Mount Thomas Show.

300
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 5: Ross, I'm here in Cleveland.

301
00:14:07,919 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 4: Seven one three two one two five seven niney if

302
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,200
you want to join our radio program today seven one

303
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:19,279
three two one two five seven nine zero Ramon Eureus

304
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:22,159
not tendered by the Astros or Ross. There's one less

305
00:14:22,159 --> 00:14:24,720
spot in the infielder worry about now for twenty twenty six.

306
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,919
Speaker 3: Well, we had speculated all off season that either of

307
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:31,600
Dubon or Eureus would be gone, and we got our answer.

308
00:14:34,799 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 4: Dubon wins it because of attendance. Right in terms of

309
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:39,120
I guess loyalty, I.

310
00:14:39,039 --> 00:14:41,679
Speaker 3: Will say a couple things. He's more versative, Eureus is

311
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,320
more of an infield guy, and Dubon can play both.

312
00:14:45,759 --> 00:14:48,000
But also you have a lot I thought it could

313
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,159
be Dubon because you do have a lot of outfield options,

314
00:14:51,879 --> 00:14:53,679
which we can talk about the rumors now that Jake

315
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,440
Myers could be traded to kind of help out with

316
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,200
that glut of that. So you have a glut of

317
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,440
outfielders with you know, you guy Zach Cole emerging and

318
00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:04,080
Zach Dezenzo. I mean, if if he's gonna be healthy

319
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,919
and play Jake Jake Myers, Jake Melton, like you've got outfielders,

320
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,399
So I thought maybe Ureus could be the guy who

321
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,399
would survive. But yes, Dubon is a great clubhouse guy.

322
00:15:13,519 --> 00:15:15,960
Everyone loves him. He's got gold gloves to his name.

323
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,399
They love his versatility. If you do have outfielders who

324
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,960
go down and you can, you can stick him anywhere.

325
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,000
So yeah, we will send you, by the way Astro's legend.

326
00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 5: Yeah we will.

327
00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 4: By the way, we will save the Jake Myers Fan

328
00:15:29,559 --> 00:15:32,159
Club get together meeting for eleven o'clock hour because I

329
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,399
feel like we're stressing out. You may you maybe you

330
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,039
to open up a secondary branch outside of the Greater

331
00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:39,639
seven one three area code.

332
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,919
Speaker 3: Well we might just have to close up shop. I

333
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:42,279
don't know.

334
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 5: Well, I mean, there's just too much smoke to this.

335
00:15:44,399 --> 00:15:46,639
Speaker 4: I mean, his name just can't stop being brought up

336
00:15:46,679 --> 00:15:47,720
in trade conversations.

337
00:15:47,879 --> 00:15:48,919
Speaker 3: It makes a lot of sense.

338
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: Let's go to uh Roger at ten twenty two on

339
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:54,240
the Matt Thomas Show with Ross Roger.

340
00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:55,159
Speaker 3: Good morning to you.

341
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,759
Speaker 7: Good morning gentlemen. Help you base go on fine. I

342
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,360
have a kind of like a critique CJ. Stroud. Uh,

343
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,159
and this is something that has to be done in

344
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,039
the off seasons. This season is what it is. I'm

345
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,240
not sure why no coaches come to this kid even

346
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,519
before we turn pro about how he goes about it.

347
00:16:14,879 --> 00:16:18,279
His funding football, the way his slides are just as

348
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:19,960
awkward as anything I've ever seen.

349
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: It's like a.

350
00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 7: Baby fond trying to, you know, find his way toward

351
00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:27,879
towards walking or something. It's just it's it's begs for injury.

352
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,559
And if this kid's gonna go anywhere, we all know

353
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,279
Starck's got to be a big part of that. And

354
00:16:33,399 --> 00:16:36,360
so many three games in counting, Uh, this guy's already

355
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,399
got multiple injuries due to the percussions. And this is

356
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:44,480
something that has to be fixed going forward because you know,

357
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,480
everybody loves David Thrills and Mills. He got three games

358
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,399
that you know you are you're you're going to be

359
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,360
the favorite to leave every one of them. So you know,

360
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,679
I guess what I'm saying is, you know, somebody's got

361
00:16:56,679 --> 00:16:59,559
to coach this kid up and uh and get him

362
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,200
and get him to mean the football without wrecking himself.

363
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,640
And also on the Astros front, Uh, yeah, man didn't

364
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,599
chopping season open. Uh, we need to we need to

365
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,880
do something about uh, you know, getting some getting some

366
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,799
guys with some pop on this team. And I think

367
00:17:16,839 --> 00:17:19,559
you have too many players. They don't have natural positions,

368
00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:26,400
like Jordan doesn't have enough not achiev misplay and us

369
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:29,599
someone else. But I just it's you know, if you

370
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,960
could find positions for your maybe put him at first.

371
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,559
I don't know he got he got creatives. It's gonna be.

372
00:17:34,759 --> 00:17:37,319
It's a log jam. Hope they hope they do something

373
00:17:37,319 --> 00:17:41,359
with all these miss miss miss place part So I

374
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:41,960
got guys.

375
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,799
Speaker 4: Thanks Roger. I feel like Rogers cooking something in the background.

376
00:17:45,839 --> 00:17:49,599
Speaker 3: You ever notice that, hmmm, well he's like boiling up

377
00:17:49,599 --> 00:17:51,279
some port chilli or what. Yeah.

378
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 5: I think he's working in the new Red Lobster kitchen.

379
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,359
You know what things are doing.

380
00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:59,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, he's whipping up some cheddar Bay biscuits. Yeah,

381
00:18:00,039 --> 00:18:02,960
baby biscuits. He's got the crab boil going. He's making

382
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:04,680
chot in the back and there's a lot of steam

383
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:06,720
back there, which, by the way, I saw Costco. You

384
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,680
can buy that mix if you're interested.

385
00:18:10,079 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 5: Can we can we.

386
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,839
Speaker 3: Go to Bad Robster. You and me just check this

387
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,759
out because the commercials look really good. I have not

388
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:22,640
been inside of a bed Bobster. Yeah, probably since two

389
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:23,599
thousand and three.

390
00:18:23,759 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 4: I think there is one. I drive by every day

391
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,920
at fifty nine. It's an humble right across from Deerbrook Mall.

392
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,319
And the Cheddar Bay biscuits are crack. I mean, that's

393
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,000
just it is what it is. Everything else there is mid,

394
00:18:37,079 --> 00:18:39,880
but I mean the bat the boil bags look really good.

395
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:43,079
Speaker 3: Uh are you buying?

396
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 5: Can we do this instead of aibachi?

397
00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:53,759
Speaker 3: Mah, that's funny. Don't forget. By the way, you don't forget.

398
00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:56,759
You've added you multiple times. You upgraded from fast casual

399
00:18:56,799 --> 00:18:59,200
to Amachi, and then you upgraded to an addendum and

400
00:18:59,319 --> 00:19:01,079
added on on fast food lunch.

401
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 5: All right, we're gonna hear what we're gonna do. This

402
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,200
is my Christmas meal to you.

403
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 3: We're gonna go to bed Bobster for the for the

404
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,160
for the crab boil, for the shrimp boil. Okay, they

405
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,759
put in the bag and all this stuff comes out

406
00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:11,759
and man, like, damn looks good. Plus the guys in there,

407
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,000
the CEO's doing this thing like, hey, we're new, we're better,

408
00:19:15,079 --> 00:19:18,079
We're doing this and I'll buy it. I'll buy into it.

409
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:19,559
I love crab meat, but I mean you got to

410
00:19:19,599 --> 00:19:20,799
get out like when you have to get out a

411
00:19:20,839 --> 00:19:22,319
set of tools to eat something.

412
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 4: Okay, I wanna go back to Roger's initial Okay, if

413
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,599
you're gonna go try to find me a quarterback or

414
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,759
teach your quarterback not to be a quarterback like scramble

415
00:19:32,839 --> 00:19:36,519
and run occasionally and throw and face pressure, then you're

416
00:19:36,519 --> 00:19:39,240
never gonna find a quarterback. What what Roger try to

417
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,599
describe is not possible in two thousand and First of

418
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:42,839
it's not possible in the NFL.

419
00:19:44,279 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 5: You just can't.

420
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 3: You can't teach now if they're running with their head

421
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,160
on fire, uh, and they're jumping into a big fray

422
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,799
to get the extra yard, or trying to do the

423
00:19:53,799 --> 00:19:56,599
old Pat Mahomes deck where he steps in out of

424
00:19:56,599 --> 00:19:58,279
bounds when he's you know, it fakes like he's going

425
00:19:58,319 --> 00:19:58,920
back in bounds.

426
00:19:59,039 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 5: That's one thing c J.

427
00:20:00,839 --> 00:20:05,039
Speaker 3: Strab For all of his potential deficiencies, and a lot,

428
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,240
he's got a few, he doesn't run himself into injuries.

429
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 5: He just doesn't.

430
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,519
Speaker 4: He prefers to stay in the quarter and in the

431
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,039
in the pocket as long as humanly possible. He does scramble,

432
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,880
but he's not scrambling himself into being hit by a

433
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,119
massive defensive lineman.

434
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,519
Speaker 5: So this this whole thought of I.

435
00:20:22,559 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: Need to try to figure out a way to keep

436
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,920
my quarterback from avoiding injury. Good luck, good luck with that,

437
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,119
because you ain't gonna able to do it.

438
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: I don't think I mean Roger's saying he's the worst slider.

439
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,920
I don't think of him as some kind of like

440
00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:40,319
bad slider. I guess I haven't noticed or anything. He slid.

441
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: He's on the play he got hurt by he slid

442
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,119
the right way. The guy already left to go make

443
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,599
the tackle at the shoulder blades. There's nothing you can't stop.

444
00:20:49,759 --> 00:20:53,240
You can't freeze frame linebackers going after running backs that

445
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:53,640
are running.

446
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,279
Speaker 3: You just can't Well, yeah, remember to a tongue of alow.

447
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,960
Wasn't he learning like Judo moves or something like that,

448
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,200
or jiu jitsus so he can learn how to fall.

449
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,559
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll give you that.

450
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 3: I mean, but I would not characterize when he was

451
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,559
getting a lot of his concussions.

452
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: No, I don't think CJ's reckless, And if he was reckless,

453
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,519
we'd say as much.

454
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 3: No, people said that about Jackson Dart and then would

455
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,680
look what happened to him. Yeah, he's uh. I mean

456
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,000
I feel like Baker Mayfield sometimes can can be a

457
00:21:22,039 --> 00:21:23,720
guy who kind of sticks his nose in there more

458
00:21:23,759 --> 00:21:24,359
than he should.

459
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 4: Now, I will say this, there are some quarterbacks that

460
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:29,480
take hits better than others.

461
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,759
Speaker 5: The guy we're gonna see tomorrow night, Ross Josh Allen,

462
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:33,279
takes hits.

463
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:35,279
Speaker 3: Well. Yeah, he's also like six foot five and two

464
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:37,680
hundred and fifty pounds, so I mean, yeah, he's basic.

465
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,319
Speaker 4: He's really I mean so short of six four two

466
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:44,240
point fifty. Like Andrew Luck was, you're gonna run into

467
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,160
some guys. They're gonna trup.

468
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: Andrew Luck was a big guy, and guess what he

469
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:47,880
quickcause he kept getting concussed.

470
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,599
Speaker 4: And he wasn't a scrambler, he insisted on saying in

471
00:21:50,599 --> 00:21:52,279
the pocket, perhaps much to his detriment.

472
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,079
Speaker 5: I think it's easier so than done. I just.

473
00:21:57,519 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 4: Now again, if you have a scrambling quarter back that

474
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,200
ain't gonna fly, that uses his legs as much as

475
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,319
he does his feet. But Baker Mayfield, I was watching that,

476
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,119
but that Buccaneers Bills.

477
00:22:07,839 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 3: Game, he has to use his feet every quarterback. If

478
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,119
you have, there are no more Tom Brady's being grown

479
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,359
in the NFL. Even guys that don't run get hurt.

480
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,079
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow, by no means would you consider him an

481
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:21,240
exemporary Scramblorg.

482
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 5: He gets here all the time.

483
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: It's a byproduct of the position, which then goes back

484
00:22:27,519 --> 00:22:29,240
to my central port of a couple of days ago.

485
00:22:30,759 --> 00:22:32,039
Speaker 5: That's why you gotta just.

486
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 4: Hope and pray that your guy doesn't get hurt, and

487
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:39,400
that concussions can certainly were you know, shorten up a

488
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,359
man's career and also puts you in a difficult spot

489
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,279
when it comes to putting as much money. Ce j

490
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,160
stra On on a rookie contract with concussions. I mean

491
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,319
it hurts because he's your guy. When he's making sixty

492
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:52,960
million dollars a year and you're devoid to other positions

493
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,759
because of that, it hurts a little bit more.

494
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 3: It's just it's just the honest truth. But you gotta

495
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,599
do it. I guess you gotta do it. They're gonna

496
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:04,039
do it. He's gonna get signed. He's gonna get signed.

497
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,039
Any hometown discount. David Mullgun is like, shut your bum

498
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:09,680
mess up.

499
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:13,640
Speaker 5: Robert and Ray will get to you in a couple

500
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:14,039
of minutes.

501
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,519
Speaker 3: By the way from Bert, Valdez said, thanks, but no,

502
00:23:16,599 --> 00:23:18,000
thanks to the Astros are.

503
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,319
Speaker 4: Qualifying off for Ross. You and I were stupid enough

504
00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:23,599
to think he might take it for a year, I

505
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,440
think earlier I said that, but then we were Yeah.

506
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,079
Once I saw the projections of his contracts, I was like, okay, No,

507
00:23:29,759 --> 00:23:32,000
then the the pain of the the Aspen War off

508
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,039
we are painting back.

509
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think we here in Houston see him a

510
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,839
little bit differently than the rest of the country. So

511
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,599
let me ask you this, would you be rooting against

512
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:41,440
him then? No?

513
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,079
Speaker 5: Why if he's playing for an America League West team,

514
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:44,680
I will be well.

515
00:23:44,599 --> 00:23:46,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna move when I'm not gonna be like

516
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,640
actively checking his box scores hoping he gets shelled. I

517
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:50,079
don't care.

518
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: But let's put it this way. We won't be rooting

519
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,039
for him like we rooted for George Springer. That's a

520
00:23:56,079 --> 00:23:56,960
god's honest truth.

521
00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: Huh. I don't huh. That's that's an absolute one. I'm

522
00:24:02,519 --> 00:24:08,079
gonna well, this is uh. You brought something my attention

523
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,039
about how spiteful I am when it comes to rooting interests.

524
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,480
When some when people say somebody is terrible and the worst.

525
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:17,319
For example, I'll give you uh and I'll give you

526
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,200
this Lebron James. I root for him harder because all

527
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:24,079
the hate that he gets and got when he moved

528
00:24:24,079 --> 00:24:26,160
to Miami where he was just trying to find his

529
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,480
best situation to win, I thought it wasn't morranted. I

530
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,119
do think fromberfoud does is crushed a little more in

531
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,519
Houston than he should be. So you know what, when

532
00:24:34,559 --> 00:24:36,559
I factor in the fact that I can be spiteful

533
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,400
and root against narratives that I think are bad, maybe

534
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,920
I will root for Fromber pretty hard.

535
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: I will take the complete opposite.

536
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fine. I think Frommer's not nearly as bad

537
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,880
as many Houston. Houston fans like want to kick him

538
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,440
off the team. He's the worst, blah blah blah blah blah.

539
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,680
I mean, if you look at the numbers, he's been

540
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,119
one of the best pitch in baseball over the last years.

541
00:25:03,799 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 5: The other teams that are courding him back what you're saying.

542
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 3: But and a lot of the fan base acts like

543
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,880
he's horrible, and he's got an earring horrible. Yeah, he's

544
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:12,440
not horrible.

545
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 5: He's he is.

546
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: When he is really good, it is a joy to watch.

547
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,720
When he implodes, it's like you can't get him to

548
00:25:20,759 --> 00:25:21,960
a therapist fast enough.

549
00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:25,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, when he hits his catcher in the chest, I

550
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:26,680
mean that's pretty bad.

551
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 4: And when he gets mad because his outfield is not

552
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,319
playing properly according to him.

553
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: Yes, and then he's not backing up home plate literally

554
00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:35,279
his next start.

555
00:25:35,839 --> 00:25:37,880
Speaker 4: Say, that's that's to me, Ross, And I get really

556
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,160
honest with you. That's the what I remember from him.

557
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,079
Speaker 3: I'm saying I get it. I'm not saying I don't

558
00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:44,200
get the hate. I'm thinking there's just a little too much.

559
00:25:44,279 --> 00:25:46,359
I think people act like he's a really bad pitcher

560
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:46,799
or something.

561
00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 4: And he's not back on the phones. Plus Sports RB

562
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,039
Court coming up in the next time. I got a

563
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,000
funny message from a listener.

564
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,559
Speaker 5: I will I will keep his name out.

565
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,799
Speaker 4: Of this Ross It says, I always laugh when people

566
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,400
say things are like crack, because I've smoked crack and

567
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,440
I mean nothing and I mean nothing.

568
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 3: Is like crack.

569
00:26:09,599 --> 00:26:10,519
Speaker 5: I guess he's got a point.

570
00:26:10,519 --> 00:26:14,039
Speaker 3: There's Bobby Brown's listening on the show.

571
00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:20,039
Speaker 5: I didn't even really I would have been not one

572
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,319
hundred percent sure he was alive.

573
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,319
Speaker 6: Is he?

574
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 5: I believe he's alive? Sure?

575
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 3: Why not?

576
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 4: All right, those of you on hold standby. We have

577
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,480
Sports RV Corp. This is kind of a little offshoot

578
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,200
of what you did Commissioner's Court, but I feel like

579
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,480
I always ask you for ruling, so it just makes

580
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,359
a better sense of a little production value behind it.

581
00:26:42,519 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 5: Ross, I've got two things for you today. By the way, bailiff,

582
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,279
introduce yourself. You're to Jonathan to bailiff, Welcome to court.

583
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:53,319
Speaker 4: Do you remember when Judge Watner had his trusty bailiff

584
00:26:53,319 --> 00:26:54,880
it was his name was Rusty.

585
00:26:55,759 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 3: No, I don't remember it. Okay, it's loner, all right.

586
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:02,839
Speaker 5: Uh, two things here we go, commissioner or a judge.

587
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,279
Speaker 3: Ross.

588
00:27:03,759 --> 00:27:06,039
Speaker 4: Now, your ruling is the final one, but people can

589
00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:07,559
certainly argue your debate if you'd like to.

590
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 3: Okay, great, I'm the boss.

591
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 4: As the NBA find the Cleveland Cavaliers one hundred thousand

592
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:21,279
dollars yesterday for violating the league's part player participation policy

593
00:27:21,799 --> 00:27:24,200
when they held out Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley out

594
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,920
of the team's game against the Heat on November the twelfth.

595
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 5: They said the reason for that rest.

596
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: Should the NBA Judge Ross be finding teams one hundred

597
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:40,599
thousand dollars when a they will gladly pay that. And

598
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:44,559
number two, if they're playing four games and five nights

599
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:47,039
and the teams want to rest because they feel like

600
00:27:47,039 --> 00:27:48,319
at end of the day it'd be better for later

601
00:27:48,319 --> 00:27:51,480
in the season, can you blame Judge sports Avery. How

602
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,400
do you feel about the NBA fining teams for wows?

603
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 3: This is uh, this is a difficult one.

604
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,759
Speaker 5: Yes, that's why I brought it to you.

605
00:28:01,079 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh, you're catching me off guard. I gotta do. I

606
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,160
gotta a lot of deep research. I gotta go into

607
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,160
recess al. Right, let's talk this out loud so I

608
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,680
understand both sides. The Cavaliers want their team to be

609
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,519
successful long term. They want their players fresher for the

610
00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:20,680
playoffs rather than having them play some what was it

611
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:23,480
a Monday night game against whoever? Who is it against?

612
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:24,599
Speaker 5: You said the Heat?

613
00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Monday night game against the Heat is not as

614
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,079
important as being fresh and ready to go in the playoffs.

615
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 5: But the NBA, the way the Cavaliers won by fourteen,

616
00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:34,079
just want to give you the.

617
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: He Oh, that actually is an interesting point. And I mean,

618
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:46,759
but you have Amazon wanting star players Peacock ESPN, NBC. Yes,

619
00:28:49,039 --> 00:28:51,799
I got a side with the league on this. You're

620
00:28:51,799 --> 00:28:54,480
trying to grow the game. Your product is all about

621
00:28:54,519 --> 00:28:57,680
putting the star players out there. So I understand where

622
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,440
the Cavaliers are going to do this. And if you

623
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,519
do want to do this, it's gonna come at a cost.

624
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,640
And if you're willing to pay that cost, that's okay.

625
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,319
But we have to put down our fines. We have

626
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,160
to grow our product. We need our star players on

627
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,200
the floor, not only for the fans who are in

628
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,279
the building, but to showcase what this league is capable

629
00:29:15,319 --> 00:29:21,480
of talent wise, I side with the NBA. Right, Since

630
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:23,440
you side with the NBA, let me ask you this.

631
00:29:24,759 --> 00:29:27,880
Should they add to the penalty because one hundred thousand

632
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,960
dollars the Cavaliers is in my mind nothing correct. How

633
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,079
about escalating the first one is this amount? Then it

634
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:35,119
escalates from there?

635
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 5: All right? So go two fifty for round two five hundred,

636
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:40,720
going up and.

637
00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 6: Up and up up.

638
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,759
Speaker 3: Wow, then you're just gonna have injuries get made up.

639
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:49,000
So I don't this is why Why couldn't they just

640
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,440
tell it Mobiley that he had a his he had

641
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,240
Why didn't they say ankle, ankle soreness. I mean, doesn't

642
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,319
every NBA player have some ankle soreness.

643
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,079
Speaker 5: I'm I'm the voice of the team, and I've got ankledness.

644
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,759
Speaker 3: I know you do. All right, So you said with

645
00:30:03,759 --> 00:30:07,400
the NBA on this, Yes, normally for the people, but

646
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:09,200
I'm with the evil corporation this time.

647
00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 5: One hundred thousand dollars is just jump James though, doesn't it.

648
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, you can escalate it from there,

649
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,640
all right? You ready for case number two? By the way, Yes,

650
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,160
I'm very happy so far with this. Uh do you

651
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,200
know who Cam Scataboo is? Of course I do. We

652
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:26,960
we created a verb.

653
00:30:26,839 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 4: Called scataboo in he has had a ridiculously successful season

654
00:30:32,839 --> 00:30:35,440
with the New York Giants, and it got durrailed ROSSI

655
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:38,799
or excuse me, judge RV sports RV because he has

656
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:40,720
suffered a gruesome ankle injury and he's.

657
00:30:40,559 --> 00:30:41,319
Speaker 5: Done for the season.

658
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,359
Speaker 3: Yes, well, guess where he was on Monday night? He

659
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:50,480
was at a wwethan correct that he was.

660
00:30:50,519 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 5: He was at Madison Square Garden.

661
00:30:53,119 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 4: And you know when there are various sports athletes or celebrities,

662
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,759
they at WWE ten to put the camera on.

663
00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 5: Say, hey, look who's here?

664
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 4: This is all these cool people are here. Well, a

665
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:12,079
wrestler Dominic Mysterio got into a shoving match with Scataboo

666
00:31:12,519 --> 00:31:16,480
and some buddies that were with him too, And Giants

667
00:31:16,559 --> 00:31:20,960
fans are pissed off that Cam Skataboo is standing up

668
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:27,720
pushing with Mysterio and his other wrestlers, saying, wait a minute,

669
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,640
you're supposed to be done for the season. You should

670
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,319
not be trying to get involved in a WWE bit

671
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,799
by pushing and shoving with professional wrestlers.

672
00:31:37,599 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 5: My question to you, Judge sports RV, is it playful?

673
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:43,559
Speaker 2: Uh?

674
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,119
Speaker 5: Theatrics? And even if it is, Judge Sports RV, should

675
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,839
somebody who is in a season ending injury potentially hurt

676
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,599
himself more if said theatrics got perhaps a rye where

677
00:31:57,599 --> 00:32:00,160
somebody pushed somebody down on the ground and further this

678
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,519
hurt on already season ending injury to an ankle.

679
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,039
Speaker 3: Judge RV, your thoughts please, this is a very very

680
00:32:07,079 --> 00:32:09,559
simple one for me. This one is there. There is

681
00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:16,359
no gray area. Giants fans, shut jobomass up. Cam Skataboo

682
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,160
is his own person. You are not his doctor. You

683
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,359
have not looked at his charts. You don't know what

684
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,440
kind of surgery he had or where he is and

685
00:32:24,559 --> 00:32:27,519
his recovery, and maybe this was ill advised, and maybe

686
00:32:27,559 --> 00:32:30,240
it wasn't. I don't know. But he is a grown

687
00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:32,920
ass man. He is an adult. He can make his

688
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,920
own choices. If it is a mistake, that is also

689
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:40,839
his right to make those mistakes. His body, his choice.

690
00:32:41,079 --> 00:32:43,759
You are not the owner of cam Scataboo. He does

691
00:32:43,759 --> 00:32:47,440
not owe you Jack squat if he wants to go

692
00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:49,960
out there and have a little fun. I imagine he's

693
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,000
a big WWE fan. It's probably been a dream of

694
00:32:53,039 --> 00:32:56,000
his to be involved in something like this. Let him

695
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,240
live his life, and if he gets hurt whatever, you

696
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:01,680
can criticize him and you can say he should have

697
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,279
done it, but let him do what he wants. He's

698
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:08,119
an adult. I mean, it's ridiculous. I honestly, I want

699
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:09,720
to say, I can't believe this is a story, but

700
00:33:09,799 --> 00:33:12,640
I can. I can believe it's a story because for

701
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:16,240
whatever reason, fans of leagues and teams feel like they

702
00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:18,880
should be able to exercise some sort of control over

703
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:23,880
the players. But it's ridiculous. Let him do what he wants.

704
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,240
I imagine he got some sort of medical clearance before

705
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,759
he was gonna get involved in this, right.

706
00:33:28,359 --> 00:33:32,039
Speaker 4: And that's the reason why I I'm the Doug Lewell

707
00:33:32,079 --> 00:33:33,880
and I'm not the host of the joke, just the guy.

708
00:33:34,599 --> 00:33:37,599
I'm just saying, as a listener of the Sports RV

709
00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:40,839
Court here, I agree with you. I don't think Cam

710
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,440
Scattawy would put himself in a situation if the ww said, hey,

711
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,880
come do this, they would put you in a further

712
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:47,519
harm's way.

713
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: I'm sure they rehearse this.

714
00:33:50,319 --> 00:33:52,079
Speaker 3: It looks like he's in a walking boot, which probably

715
00:33:52,119 --> 00:33:55,880
is holding everything together. I mean whatever. Yeah, and I

716
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,839
watched it a couple of times to see how severe

717
00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:58,200
it was.

718
00:33:59,119 --> 00:34:01,039
Speaker 4: Just come up growing up as men pleasing each other.

719
00:34:01,079 --> 00:34:02,519
But you know it's a bit too Yeah.

720
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 3: I was watching the video as you were explaining, because

721
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:05,839
I kind of saw the story. But I didn't want

722
00:34:06,039 --> 00:34:09,719
this is nothing. This is a big nothing burner. Okay, Well,

723
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,320
that's why you threw it out a court really quick

724
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:12,360
game you thank you, Matt.

725
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 5: Yes, and that is Sports Arvy Court.

726
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 4: Excellent work by you. This is outstanding and the best

727
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,760
part of this. I didn't give you a chance. I

728
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:24,239
think about this I didn't give you. I didn't even

729
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:24,599
tell you.

730
00:34:24,519 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 3: What these were ahead of time. It's real and raw.

731
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,679
Speaker 5: It is real and raw.

732
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 4: All right, Uh, that's it for the comment for our

733
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,599

00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,039
What is it called?

744
00:34:54,639 --> 00:34:56,119
Speaker 5: Just Jack Jack casino?

745
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 3: Jack like Queen and King. That's a casino name.

746
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 5: It's very sketchy too. It's probably the sketch It's the

747
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,000
second sketchiest casino.

748
00:35:06,039 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: I can it can't be that sketchy. Okay, oh it is, No,

749
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,800
it's not because you win. I know five Diamond Manning

750

751
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,760
go to the sketchiest casinos, the two sketches.

752
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,159
Speaker 5: Casinos in a league in Philadelphia, in Cleveland.

753
00:35:19,079 --> 00:35:20,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, so not. It ain't that sketchy.

754
00:35:21,599 --> 00:35:24,639
Speaker 5: You wouldn't be there, man, I didn't have to go outside.

755
00:35:24,639 --> 00:35:29,719

761
00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:47,719
Jake Myers fan Club, we are calling an emergency meeting

762
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:53,599
at eleven o'clock where the president will be speaking. Oh

763
00:35:53,679 --> 00:35:55,239
really not often.

764
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 4: We ask you to speak very during the offseason because

765
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:58,840
you know you need some downtime.

766
00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, Graci.

767
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 4: By the way, if you are CBS, are you regretting

768
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,599
not taking the SEC games and just giving SEC a

769
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:12,199
blank check?

770
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,679
Speaker 3: Probably? What's the game this weekend?

771
00:36:16,199 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 4: The top three games last weekend on television for college football?

772
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,719
Oh Ubama ten and a half million people watched it. Texas,

773
00:36:27,159 --> 00:36:30,360
Georgia ten point four million people watch it. Those are

774
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,960
both ABC. The number three game was South Carolina A

775
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,679
and M, which is at eleven o'clock. You know, I

776
00:36:34,679 --> 00:36:36,920
mean like usually eleven o'clock games are like the dog games.

777
00:36:37,679 --> 00:36:40,199
Four point three million people watched that.

778
00:36:40,519 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 3: That wasn't I mean, it was supposed to be a

779
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,519
dog game and then it wasn't.

780
00:36:44,039 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the number one CBS game. It was Penn State

781
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,239
Michigan State. Both teams entered the game with two wins

782
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,639
or three. Two point four eight million people watched that.

783
00:36:54,599 --> 00:36:57,119
You know how we always talk about it's the SEC

784
00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:59,639
and the Big Ten everybody else, ROSSI, it's the SEC

785
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:01,800
and everybody else. Now, I mean, I know that the

786
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,079
number one team in the College Football Poll is Ohio

787
00:37:04,119 --> 00:37:05,840
State and they've been down defeated, and they're the depending

788
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,119
national champions.

789
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 3: But they are top heavy, but pound for pound through

790
00:37:11,519 --> 00:37:16,239
and through the SEC and it's not close. And Greg

791
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,079
Sankie knows that too. With all these talks about these

792
00:37:19,159 --> 00:37:23,480
new I know, these new deals and these new playoffs

793
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,880
and all that type of stuff, right, seemed like the

794
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,199
Big Ten's like, yeah, hey, we we are really dominating SEC.

795
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,440
And Greg Sanki's like, wa was this week business? Look

796
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,639
at these ratings? Pal, yeah, and.

797
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,159
Speaker 4: Like hey, let's go to a let's go to a

798
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:40,440
sixteen team format. SEC's like no, we didn't think of this.

799
00:37:40,599 --> 00:37:43,440
Goodbye and then number two. We'll get back with you

800
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,519
when we have our ar list ready to go. Actually,

801
00:37:45,559 --> 00:37:48,639
they were one they were thinking about. Weren't they think

802
00:37:48,639 --> 00:37:50,320
of twenty four teams? Is that what they were thinking? Yeah,

803
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,960
it was twenty four were talking about earlier this week.

804
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:54,159
Speaker 3: Yes.

805
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:55,119
Speaker 2: Who.

806
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 4: By the way, Nicole Arbach, who writes for NBC Sports

807
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,639
the colleg Football Runner, she's been in ESPN. She believes

808
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:06,480
now that the University of Texas cannot get into the

809
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,000
College Football Playoff because the committee has them at number

810
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:13,079
seventeen this week, and that even if they were to

811
00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,119
beat Arkansas and b to A and M, they could

812
00:38:15,159 --> 00:38:17,159
not get to the number ten spot, which is usually

813
00:38:17,199 --> 00:38:19,639
going to be the last at large spot in the

814
00:38:19,679 --> 00:38:24,519
college football tournament. Okay, just her opinion doesn't mean it's gospel,

815
00:38:24,559 --> 00:38:28,280
but that she thinks that the loss to Georgia, which

816
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:31,119
to me, it wasn't about playing Georgia. It was the

817
00:38:31,119 --> 00:38:33,000
fact that Rossick, that your squad lost so bad is

818
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:34,880
the reason why they took such a tumble, right.

819
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, think Scott. I mean the defense didn't make enough

820
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,199
stops at the end, and they the on side kick

821
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,280
and they it goes fourteen to ten and then Georgia

822
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,039
scored and then scored again off the onside kick, and

823
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,559
then it was just basically over.

824
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:48,320

Speaker 5: Let's go.

836
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 3: Should be a big crowd. I'm sure it needs to

837
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:19,639
be a big crowd. Top number twenty three in the country.

838
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 5: Let's go gonna be taking on Texas and the Texas

839
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,159
Bowler this year. I'm thinking, Okay, if you way, if

840
00:39:25,159 --> 00:39:26,519
you want that ass whooping, come get it.

841
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: I want it for smack talk purposes. Hello, Ray, Hey.

842
00:39:31,559 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 8: What's going on, guys? Hill? In all seriousness about the

843
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,920
game tomorrow night. You know, when I opened my hard

844
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,800
rock bed, the first thing I went to is over

845
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,079
zero point five interceptions for Josh. I think he's gonna

846
00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:49,440
try to force things. You know, I'm going to try

847
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,199
to get that pick. At least I think they're gonna

848
00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:56,400
beat us do for a Texas Rock and Atlanta just

849
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,360
announced that Pennick is out for the year, and they

850
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,639
have a pretty decent backup. You know, if if we

851
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,280
had that guy as a backup, I wouldn't be worried

852
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,760
about them. But we have a horrible backup quarterback. He's

853
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,639
won out of twenty what he's six and twenty. He's

854
00:40:13,679 --> 00:40:17,719
a horrible backup quarterback, and they wish we had someone

855
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,679
better to step in if CJ is hurt. And I

856
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,360
don't want CJ to start missing three or four games

857
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:26,840
a year due to injury. He lost games last year

858
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,079
and this year, and he's gonna want a lot of money.

859
00:40:30,639 --> 00:40:32,920
I thought the kid was gonna get sixty five or

860
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,519
seventy a year, but the play went down and he's

861
00:40:36,559 --> 00:40:40,880
missing games. So the Texans can hype us all they want.

862
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,599
I think these next games we may go one to

863
00:40:43,599 --> 00:40:47,280
three if the playoff picture is over. Trying to hype

864
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,559
us up that you know, I played football, I'm not dumb.

865
00:40:50,599 --> 00:40:53,719
The Texans aren't beating the Chiefs. They're not beating the Bills.

866
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,039
You know, they're not beating the Coats. They're not gonna

867
00:40:57,079 --> 00:40:59,840
beat these football teams. And I bet the Coats are

868
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,800
going gonna stomp the Chiefs this week just to show

869
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,960
the Texans they're not ready for the Coats. And when

870
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,679
CJ does come back, it's gonna be garbage time. You know,

871
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,280
any tuzdign is just garbage. It's over the play. I'm

872
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,400
looking for them and to come back in August, hopefully

873
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:20,280
with a healthy team. Mixing is leaving. You know, Cardi

874
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,480
b had our good wide receiver.

875
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:23,519
Speaker 3: Get out of here.

876
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 8: You know, it's horrible. It is very first what's going on,

877
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,480
and the hype around this team needs to stop because

878
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,440
this is bad. I don't care about the number one defense.

879
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,079
This is gonna be you want to talk about a

880
00:41:37,159 --> 00:41:40,239
number one defense. This is gonna be the first team

881
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,440
in NFL history to have the number one defense and

882
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,280
don't even make the playoffs. So stop all the number

883
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:49,119
one detalk because you can at least make the playoffs

884
00:41:49,119 --> 00:41:51,880
as a number one defense, and they're gonna make NFL

885
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,360
history this year. Watch what I tell you. And Demiko,

886
00:41:55,519 --> 00:41:57,440
you know he's not on the hot seat, but I

887
00:41:57,519 --> 00:42:01,719
really feel like some things need to change. Did mute

888
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:05,159
to change? No playoffs this year for the Texans, It's done.

889
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,079
Jonathan Taylor in the two games, making five tds in

890
00:42:09,119 --> 00:42:11,280
two games against the Texans.

891
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 3: Those guys, all right, Indian who is hyping up the

892
00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:16,199
Texans card and.

893
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,519
Speaker 8: I'm talking about how the city, you know, how the team.

894
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:21,559
He's posting things on YouTube.

895
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:27,119
Speaker 3: Come on, everybody, that last four all the team is

896
00:42:27,199 --> 00:42:28,920
hyping them up on YouTube? What do you want them

897
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,639
to say? We suck? They're five and five with their

898
00:42:31,679 --> 00:42:33,960
their star quarterback has been hurt the last two games.

899
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,039
They won both of them.

900
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 8: I like that Mike Singletary interview when he called that

901
00:42:39,559 --> 00:42:41,840
guy out. I like regular Tom.

902
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: I don't like Singletary. Mike what ten years ago? Fifteen?

903
00:42:49,519 --> 00:42:52,199
I like, Okay, he got fired. He was terrible. He

904
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,239
was a terrible coach, terrible coaching.

905
00:42:56,679 --> 00:42:57,639
Speaker 8: I just like the interview.

906
00:42:57,639 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 3: I don't care about you don't care.

907
00:43:04,079 --> 00:43:07,800
Speaker 4: Is Cardi be the responsibility? Why didn't realize Cardi be

908
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:09,239
it such a negative impact on that I.

909
00:43:09,199 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 3: Didn't know she was Stefan Diggs's agent. And by the way,

910
00:43:12,639 --> 00:43:16,679
Houston Texans dot Com at Houston Texans and YouTube and

911
00:43:17,519 --> 00:43:21,079
TikTok do not put positive things about it your team out.

912
00:43:21,199 --> 00:43:24,159
They have the number one defense. The defense is really good.

913
00:43:24,199 --> 00:43:27,159
They're five and five. All things considered, this could have

914
00:43:27,159 --> 00:43:30,519
been turned into a disaster season and it did not

915
00:43:30,599 --> 00:43:33,719
stop putting out positive things.

916
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 5: Just because your team doesn't mean people want to see

917
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,079
the positive things. They want to see the negative.

918
00:43:38,159 --> 00:43:42,119
Speaker 3: What the hell was that. They want to see missed

919
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:44,679
extra points, they want to see off sides, they want

920
00:43:44,679 --> 00:43:50,000
to see holding penalties. That's what TikTok wants to see.

921
00:43:50,079 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 5: And Toro shoving up your ass, Toro. We don't want

922
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:53,440
to say anything about you, Toro.

923
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 3: We're done with you, Toro.

924
00:43:57,559 --> 00:43:59,159
Speaker 5: I want no more. I want no more.

925
00:43:59,599 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: Photo of uh Hannah putting her hes up. Oh, that's

926
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,880
just that's just the boot looking media. Sorry, I that

927
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,519
it's not the Houston Texans. Come on to Houston Texans

928
00:44:11,559 --> 00:44:14,039
dot com. Be better put the stuff out there that

929
00:44:14,039 --> 00:44:17,920
people really want to see. Incomplete passes. Uh. You know

930
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:19,760
what they ought to do, Rossie. They had to put

931
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,119
up all the first and goals in the nine yard

932
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:27,679
line running plays keep it reels with the Houston Texans

933
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,719
first and goal to three half yard gain, second to goal,

934
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:35,599
the two half yard gain, third and goal and then

935
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,000
Dimico goes for it or does that same runoff left guard?

936
00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:40,519
Once you show Nick Kayley more.

937
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 4: Nick Kayley on your Houston Texans website. That's the way

938
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,000
people want to see. They don't want to see nice things.

939
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 3: Goodness gracious, that's crazy. You know what, Houston Texans.

940
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,039
Speaker 4: You keep doing your thing. Don't still at old Ray,

941
00:44:54,199 --> 00:44:58,960
old grumpy Ray getting your way. That's hysterical. Seven one three,

942
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,760
two one two five. I have some of an honey

943
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:08,800
is the Matt Thomas Show with Ross before we get

944
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,320
to our meeting of the Jake Myers Fan Club.

945
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,679
Speaker 3: Ross. I just sent a text to the Houston Rockets

946
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:16,079
social team.

947
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,559
Speaker 6: We need more.

948
00:45:17,519 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 4: Best of Golden State Highlights playoff series. And I've been

949
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:26,199
asking for a nice compilation of Christian Wood moments as

950
00:45:26,199 --> 00:45:26,639
a rocket.

951
00:45:26,639 --> 00:45:28,679
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, Christian Wood had some moments now, Maddie,

952
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:34,159
I be hating on Christian Wood. I think he's in

953
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,159
China now or something.

954
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,679
Speaker 4: I just sent the astros a media thing. I said,

955
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,960
can we get some more Christian Walker swings? Can we

956
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,599
get some Lance mccullors, uh walks and anything? I mean,

957
00:45:51,039 --> 00:45:54,480
we got this down pad if our buddy Raymimi wants

958
00:45:54,519 --> 00:45:55,519
the reels, We'll.

959
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,559
Speaker 3: Give it reels to you. Oh my gosh. Listed on

960
00:45:58,679 --> 00:46:05,400
Christian Wood's accomplishment in career highlights NBA Cup champion. He

961
00:46:05,519 --> 00:46:09,119
did that for whom he was on that Lakers team.

962
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,079
Oh okay, that won the first one.

963
00:46:12,679 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 9: Gang.

964
00:46:13,199 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 5: You all know this.

965
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 4: Teams are gonna put the good stuff out there, and

966
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,639
they're supposed to. That's that's their marketing.

967
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:21,000
Speaker 3: That was ridiculous. I wish we had more time, but

968
00:46:21,039 --> 00:46:22,280
we kind of had to get to the top of

969
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:22,760
the hour.

970
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 4: I know, but I mean, like, what is the most

971
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:28,400
what's the least? Oh, it'd be like burking bragging about

972
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,079
their fries. Their fries suck.

973
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,000
Speaker 5: They're terrible.

974
00:46:31,039 --> 00:46:38,039
Speaker 3: Hold on, that's terrible. Come on, now, their fries blow.

975
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,119
They've changed them like three times. I haven't had the

976
00:46:40,199 --> 00:46:41,559
latest version. I don't think.

977
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,199
Speaker 4: Every single one of them go from bad doors, Hey,

978
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,800
come to Murricane eat our fries. No, they're gonna talk

979
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,719
about the damn whopper and uh those chicken fries which

980
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,440
aren't half bad, and uh, the French.

981
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 3: Toes sticks are good.

982
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:56,679
Speaker 4: They're gonna promote those things and look, Kris chandwiches. I

983
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,480
mean Donalds puts out the mcreb, the big mac crowdard.

984
00:46:59,519 --> 00:47:02,199
Speaker 3: Life is good. Mcgrib is nasty. Let me check the

985
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:04,679
latest on your pole. No, don't look, don't look. We're

986
00:47:04,679 --> 00:47:06,039
down with that. Yeah, you've lost.

987
00:47:07,599 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 5: You don't put things on your social media that don't work.

988
00:47:11,599 --> 00:47:15,119
Speaker 3: It'd be like team is hyping up the social media

989
00:47:15,159 --> 00:47:17,159
is hyping up the team for some reason. I mean,

990
00:47:17,159 --> 00:47:21,039
come on, like, hey, you go to Waterburger. They don't.

991
00:47:21,039 --> 00:47:22,920
But look at our drive through times. They don't do that.

992
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:28,559
I put that out there. That'd be actually funny if

993
00:47:28,559 --> 00:47:30,199
you took if you took all your companies. You hate

994
00:47:30,199 --> 00:47:37,000
to put the negative things about it. Hmm. How about

995
00:47:37,039 --> 00:47:40,199
this sports talk seven, honey, look at Adam Klinton's rational

996
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:41,679
thoughts about referees.

997
00:47:43,079 --> 00:47:44,119
Speaker 5: We don't put that out there.

998
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,079
Speaker 3: See, I knew you were going to go here, and

999
00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,920
I'm just staying away. I'm stepping away from the microphone.

1000
00:47:49,039 --> 00:47:49,599
Speaker 5: No you can't.

1001
00:47:49,639 --> 00:47:50,280
Speaker 3: I'm here.

1002
00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 4: You're you're stuck by maybe a thousand miles away from you.

1003
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,639
But no, you're not going away from anywhere. By the way,

1004
00:47:56,679 --> 00:47:58,199
you see Victor women Yam has hurt again.

1005
00:47:58,519 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a calf injury, right, Yeah, cathrew.

1006
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:04,639
Speaker 5: Attendance is part of the grade it is.

1007
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 3: That's true.

1008
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,639
Speaker 4: He's great, but it's got to be healthy, so I

1009
00:48:08,639 --> 00:48:10,199
don't care he's I mean, they won last time.

1010
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 3: They beat the They beat the Grizzlies, which, by the way,

1011
00:48:13,039 --> 00:48:15,760
when did NBC think the Grizzliest Spurs would be worthy

1012
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:17,719
of putting on National TV on a Tuesday night?

1013
00:48:20,159 --> 00:48:22,039
Speaker 5: Wasn't there like some Division three game that had been

1014
00:48:22,039 --> 00:48:22,559
better off.

1015
00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:26,280
Speaker 3: Grizzly Spurs is actually not the jah Moran Wimby and

1016
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,480
Theory neither.

1017
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 5: Want I'm played.

1018
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,679
Speaker 3: So when it was this in theory, you get starts

1019
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:32,519
finding some people.

1020
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:39,639
Speaker 4: Oh oh, sports r V Court says, yes, you must find.

1021
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 5: That's funny.

1022
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 3: Nobody wanted to see Luke Cornett versus Zach.

1023
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 4: Edie by boy Zach Edy who has a tough watch.

1024
00:48:47,559 --> 00:48:50,519
Nice guy, but oh god, he just around the basket.

1025
00:48:50,559 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 3: He's Oh my god. ESPN has changed around their box

1026
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:57,800
scores and I still haven't adjusted. They put they they

1027
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,960
used to put minute. They've switched around where they put

1028
00:49:00,119 --> 00:49:01,920
minutes and points and field goals and now they switched

1029
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:07,159
it back. Oh what the heck? People wants have been complaining. Yeah,

1030
00:49:07,199 --> 00:49:09,639
not me. It's thrown me off. All right.

1031
00:49:10,559 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: It is the Matt Thomas Old ross I'm here in

1032
00:49:14,119 --> 00:49:17,360
Cleveland Rockets taking on the hated Cavaliers tonight. We'll have

1033
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,760
the broadcast for you beginning six o'clock pregame at five

1034
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:22,199
of the launch pad, Rossie.

1035
00:49:22,199 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 3: Before we get going on other things, I gotta shut

1036
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,599
your boy mass up. At the bottom of the hour.

1037
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,559
Speaker 4: We have assembled the Jake Myers Fan Club. Okay, it

1038
00:49:29,559 --> 00:49:32,119
feels like to me that number IF is a very

1039
00:49:32,159 --> 00:49:33,000
fluctuating group.

1040
00:49:33,039 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 5: People like, once you join a country clip, you're kind

1041
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:35,400
of pot committed.

1042
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,800
Speaker 4: If you join a civic club, if you join a

1043
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,920
student council, if you're a part of an alumni association,

1044
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,239
you don't get to dip in and dip out. Except

1045
00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,320
for the old Jake Myers Fan Club. We let you

1046
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:46,800
go in and out as much as you want.

1047
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,079
Speaker 3: No, we didn't know that's not true. We take monthly duce.

1048
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:50,039
You're in for the month.

1049
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:54,280
Speaker 4: Okay, So please talk to your audience, the congregation, if

1050
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,559
you will, because the rumors of Jake Myers going elsewhere

1051
00:49:57,639 --> 00:49:59,559
are running rampant around these Twitter streets.

1052
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: Loo, folks, it's been a long, arduous, hard battle being

1053
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,880
in the Jake Myers fan club. There's been some lean

1054
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,199
times and there's been some good times, and right now

1055
00:50:09,199 --> 00:50:11,679
we're in the good times. And I understand. We love

1056
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,760
Jake Myers and we want him patrolling center field at

1057
00:50:14,880 --> 00:50:17,079
dyke In Park for the Houston Astros for as long

1058
00:50:17,119 --> 00:50:19,480
as possible. But at the end of the day, when

1059
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,000
you hear these trade rumors, take it as a compliment

1060
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:24,719
because that means all the great things that Jake Myers

1061
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:29,719
has accomplished, and all his great hitting and sometimes striking

1062
00:50:29,719 --> 00:50:33,079
out against position players, all of that doesn't matter. It's

1063
00:50:33,079 --> 00:50:36,039
been about how great he's been playing and how good

1064
00:50:36,079 --> 00:50:37,559
of a player he is at this point, and the

1065
00:50:37,639 --> 00:50:40,639
quality of he's shown that he's drawing interests from other clubs.

1066
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,000
So the fact that he is being dangled as a

1067
00:50:44,039 --> 00:50:47,280
trade chip means that he has many suitors. There could

1068
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,000
be a market for him that the Astros simply cannot

1069
00:50:50,039 --> 00:50:52,519
refuse because they do have a glut in the outfield.

1070
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,239
So we take this as a compliment. We love Jake,

1071
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,320
we support Jake, and we'll see what happens and let

1072
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,360
the chips fall where they may.

1073
00:51:01,559 --> 00:51:03,079
Speaker 5: Can I give you some advice president.

1074
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 4: Sure, start writing that farewell speech, that farewell toast he gone.

1075
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,400
Maybe my thing, my thinking about this is that you're

1076
00:51:15,599 --> 00:51:17,960
not gonna and I look, we are team Jake Myers.

1077
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,639
Speaker 3: We like him. My thing, I love him.

1078
00:51:21,639 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 4: They're thinking that they're that the best of Jake Myers

1079
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,559
was last year even and now that you're talking about

1080
00:51:27,559 --> 00:51:31,199
a guy that's got a couple of injury uh stints

1081
00:51:31,199 --> 00:51:32,920
to us, I mean that maybe the value of his

1082
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:33,440
stock is.

1083
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 5: As high as is right now.

1084
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 3: The mission statement of the Jake Myers Fan Club. When

1085
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,400
we started, there were people that doubted he was even

1086
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,199
a major league player. I know, they were people that

1087
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,880
doubted he should even play ahead of Chas McCormick. The

1088
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,239
fan club wanted to show that he was an everyday player.

1089
00:51:50,639 --> 00:51:52,880
He was good in the field, he was good enough

1090
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,480
at the plate, and he could do everything it took

1091
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:59,719
to be an everyday center fielder in the major leagues.

1092
00:52:00,119 --> 00:52:03,519
And he has proven that. So all the doubters you

1093
00:52:03,559 --> 00:52:07,280
could suck it, Jake Myers. Wherever you end up, we

1094
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:12,719
love you, and we were right. The years often proved

1095
00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:15,599
me right. Matt, I get in this case.

1096
00:52:15,559 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 4: For your own mental health, I think we need him

1097
00:52:17,519 --> 00:52:19,480
to go to a national league team. I can't imagine

1098
00:52:19,519 --> 00:52:22,239
seeing him six games a year, or if he stays

1099
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,239
in America League now they wouldn't trade him America League.

1100
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not gonna watch. I don't watch Natural league baseball.

1101
00:52:26,599 --> 00:52:27,159
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying.

1102
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 4: It'd be better off for you if he's a National

1103
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,639
leagu guys, then once you you can kind of celebrate

1104
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:31,239
him and bring.

1105
00:52:31,119 --> 00:52:35,679
Speaker 5: Him to town. Have his video tribute, you know what

1106
00:52:35,679 --> 00:52:36,719
I mean, the.

1107
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 3: Video tribute of his swinging out of his shoes and

1108
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:39,880
his helmet falling off.

1109
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,960
Speaker 4: By the way, you missed the Cam Whitmore video tribute

1110
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,079
last week while you were gone.

1111
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:47,280
Speaker 3: Are you serious? No, I'm not okay. I was gonna

1112
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:52,639
say I got you. I was like, no way, how's

1113
00:52:52,679 --> 00:52:56,039
he doing? By the way, everybody said he's gonna be

1114
00:52:56,079 --> 00:52:58,760
a future All Star? Not everybody, but you know, there

1115
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,119
was a contingent off. How can you try it away

1116
00:53:01,159 --> 00:53:06,000
a future All starling Cam Whitmore, what it's doing. See

1117
00:53:06,039 --> 00:53:08,159

1118
00:53:08,519 --> 00:53:13,239
shoots a bunch and doesn't pay. Oh really, I locked

1119
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,519
that down on gut feelings or I might even put

1120
00:53:15,519 --> 00:53:17,159
my name on that. I think you did put your

1121
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:22,519

00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 3: I am not.

1152
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:52,280
Speaker 4: Monday we play UH Phoenix and then Wednesday we play

1153
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,639
Golden State and then we're coming home for Thanksgiving?

1154
00:54:56,559 --> 00:54:59,519
Speaker 10: Cool? Are you Are you gonna be able to broadcast

1155
00:54:59,559 --> 00:55:01,559
one of the games this year with Reid or anything?

1156
00:55:02,079 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 3: No.

1157
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the Rocket schedule, plus the fact that all the

1158
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,960
new TV networks that are doing the University of Houston

1159
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,239
games will not allow me to do any game. There's

1160
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:15,800
only five ESPN regionals allowed not allowed, but only five available,

1161
00:55:16,119 --> 00:55:18,159
and I've got Rockets games for all five of those games.

1162
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, that's a shame.

1163
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,199
Speaker 10: We all love seeing you over there.

1164
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 5: I love doing those games. I love doing the Coreper games.

1165
00:55:25,079 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, the Rockets just my schedule just doesn't dictate it.

1166
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:29,719
But thank you for asking.

1167
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,360
Speaker 10: I understand, so Ross on your court judgments, the first

1168
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:42,159
one about the NBA situation. In that one particular situation,

1169
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,519
I have to side with the Cavaliers because the NBA

1170
00:55:47,679 --> 00:55:51,440
should not be scheduling somebody four games in five days.

1171
00:55:51,519 --> 00:55:54,400
That's just too hard on the bodies, especially when they're

1172
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,760
traveling in between those games. So in that one situation,

1173
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,840
I don't think the Cavaliers should have and fine, and

1174
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:04,599
it goes along with my next thing. On the other one,

1175
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,239
Camp Scautingby, goes along with your reasoning for the NBA

1176
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:09,440
wanting to see the big.

1177
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:10,119
Speaker 3: Guys out there.

1178
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:15,199
Speaker 10: I agree with both of y'all on the Camp Scatterby thing. However,

1179
00:56:16,079 --> 00:56:18,480
you know, from the fans standpoint, you know, they've got

1180
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,639
to pay hundreds of dollars to go to a game.

1181
00:56:21,039 --> 00:56:24,239
They're paying hundreds of dollars for wearing these guys' jerseys

1182
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:29,280
and stuff. And if there's any sign that maybe he's

1183
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:31,800
not doing what he should be here, maybe he could

1184
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,480
have been playing or something like that kind of back

1185
00:56:34,599 --> 00:56:37,440
like to like Carlos Kerrey and his massaging. I can

1186
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,000
see where the fans get upset, But in the end,

1187
00:56:41,039 --> 00:56:44,079
I agree with both of y'all. What what what should

1188
00:56:44,079 --> 00:56:47,519
have happened, but what lett him live? But I understand

1189
00:56:47,519 --> 00:56:49,360
why the fans would get upset in that situation.

1190
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that doesn't sound like we're discrowing too much.

1191
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,719
The Cavaliers certainly are within their right to do that.

1192
00:56:56,800 --> 00:56:59,519
I'd say that the NBA is within their right to

1193
00:56:59,559 --> 00:57:02,039
find them so they can do it. I'm not saying

1194
00:57:02,039 --> 00:57:04,679
they're crazy. I'm saying it's smart. And even I said,

1195
00:57:04,679 --> 00:57:06,400
but again, like it's it's kind of a fifty to

1196
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,360
fifty or fifty one to forty nine type of deal

1197
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,000
for me, I understand where the Cavaliers are coming from.

1198
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:14,920
They're worried about this long season and they're worried about

1199
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,039
winning a championship. They're not worried about Tuesday Night against

1200
00:57:18,119 --> 00:57:19,719
whatever team it was that they were playing, that they

1201
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,800
actually won that game anyways. So I think the NBA

1202
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,480
does have to They owe it to all this money

1203
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,119
and revenue that they're getting from all these teams for

1204
00:57:29,159 --> 00:57:32,199
all the excuse me, these networks to try and figure

1205
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:35,119
out a way to give them the best players on

1206
00:57:35,159 --> 00:57:38,119
the floor to maximize their ratings and continue to foster

1207
00:57:38,199 --> 00:57:41,480
those relationships and make them good relationships. So I understand

1208
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,599
both sides of that, and then it sounds like we're

1209
00:57:43,639 --> 00:57:45,000
on the same side on camps cataboy.

1210
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:50,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, I'll just to clarify on the NBA thing. I

1211
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,400
agree with you, except in that one situation. They should

1212
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,039
not be scheduling in four games in five days. That's

1213
00:57:56,079 --> 00:57:59,079
just too tough and to show consistency. I don't like

1214
00:57:59,159 --> 00:58:03,280
the conference uh tournaments in college because these kids have

1215
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,519
been playing once or twice a week, and all of

1216
00:58:05,559 --> 00:58:07,880
a sudden, you're asking them to play three or four

1217
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,400
days on the rown. I guess irresponsible. So, but that's

1218
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:11,880
my feeling.

1219
00:58:12,039 --> 00:58:15,559
Speaker 3: So appreciate that. Thank you, Thanks Chris, appreciate it.

1220
00:58:15,559 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 4: Well, those conference sermons don't mean as much as they

1221
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:19,400
used to, except for like the schools that are going

1222
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:20,320
there to try to get.

1223
00:58:20,159 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 3: The one at b Yeah.

1224
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 4: Ross again, going back to our content, we were talking

1225
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:26,840
about the fact earlier for those who are just joining us,

1226
00:58:27,199 --> 00:58:29,760
the Cleveland Cavaliers yesterday were fined by the NBA one

1227
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,440
hundred thousand dollars for sitting Evan Mobley and Doavan Mitchell,

1228
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,239
I mean, two of their bigger stars for a game

1229
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,599
against Miami in which the Cavaliers went to Miami and

1230
00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:43,920
won that game, and they're saying that because the Cavaliers

1231
00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:50,599
were honest, honesty doesn't always make them not the best policy.

1232
00:58:50,679 --> 00:58:53,840
Speaker 3: Truth doesn't always set you free. Truth what I say

1233
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,559
ross why you know what I always say, the truth

1234
00:58:56,599 --> 00:58:59,960
will cost you one hundred K. The truth doesn't matter

1235
00:59:00,119 --> 00:59:02,119
to the Cleveland Cavaliers because they'll pay the hunter k

1236
00:59:02,159 --> 00:59:03,760
and they got the win and they got to let

1237
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:08,239
rest two of their star players.

1238
00:59:08,239 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 5: Just the truth.

1239
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,400
Speaker 3: They just I don't I if I pulled a Cavalier

1240
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,880
ownership front offs coach aside, they probably like, yeah, it.

1241
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 5: Was worth it.

1242
00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 3: And the season is so long as it is, I mean,

1243
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,639
can can they extend it a couple of weeks? Nope,

1244
00:59:23,719 --> 00:59:25,199
they've already extended it before.

1245
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:28,599
Speaker 4: Right, Well, here's the thing they're giving. You have about

1246
00:59:28,639 --> 00:59:31,400
a ten day break coming up in a couple of weeks. Now,

1247
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,639
you don't necessarily get ten days off, but they have

1248
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:36,840
the n Season Tournament and then you play. If you

1249
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,000
don't go to the Ncason Tournament, like in Las Vegas,

1250
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,559
you have two games you have to play in those

1251
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:43,360
ten days, but you still get an extended You're gonna

1252
00:59:43,360 --> 00:59:44,519
get some time off during this.

1253
00:59:45,079 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 3: And they've extended the All Star breaks longer than it

1254
00:59:47,079 --> 00:59:47,360
used to be.

1255
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 4: Right, Uh, it's been this way for about a decade now,

1256
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,079
I think I'll leave it a little bit longer. See,

1257
00:59:52,079 --> 00:59:56,119
my thought is, shorten this n season tournament break, Shorten

1258
00:59:56,519 --> 00:59:59,679
this All Star break, and give guys an extra day

1259
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,760
or two here and there. The Rockets frankly, have played

1260
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,000
some of the fewest games in the NBA this season,

1261
01:00:06,079 --> 01:00:08,599
and it's helped them because think about this ross We're

1262
01:00:08,639 --> 01:00:10,760
down to about an eight man rotation because of Tari

1263
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:11,639
Easan being hurt.

1264
01:00:11,719 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 5: Friend Van Vliet is out.

1265
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,639
Speaker 4: It helps Steven Adams hasn't had to well, he's missed

1266
01:00:16,679 --> 01:00:20,519
one game, but he doesn't play a lot of three

1267
01:00:20,559 --> 01:00:21,480
games and four nights.

1268
01:00:21,519 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 5: He doesn't play.

1269
01:00:22,199 --> 01:00:24,239
Speaker 4: Typically back to back. Now maybe things will change, but

1270
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,920
I don't know. Kevin Durant doesn't play a lot of

1271
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:28,119
back to band. We have not had a back to

1272
01:00:28,159 --> 01:00:31,519
back yet this season. In fact, we haven't played since Sunday,

1273
01:00:32,599 --> 01:00:34,519
and then you've The first back to back for the

1274
01:00:34,599 --> 01:00:37,519
Rockets this season will not take place until after Thanksgiving

1275
01:00:37,519 --> 01:00:39,320
when the Rockets play the Jazz and Utah back to

1276
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,320
back game. But that's in the same cities. That's and

1277
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,599
that's kind of a nice little way to do so.

1278
01:00:43,599 --> 01:00:46,800
So I don't know what the right answer is. I

1279
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,199
never had the right answer on this because the schedule

1280
01:00:50,239 --> 01:00:52,679
is squeezed. TVs have a lot to do with it.

1281
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:57,760
But to your point, the TVs want the stars. If

1282
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,840
that Cleveland was that Cleveland, I want that Cleveland Miami

1283
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:00,719
game as national TV.

1284
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 5: I don't think it was.

1285
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 3: I don't think it was. There was, Uh when was it?

1286
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,039
Speaker 5: It was on the twelfth?

1287
01:01:08,079 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 3: I want to say, no, I don't think so, which

1288
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,639
would have been a Wednesday night, that would have been

1289
01:01:14,639 --> 01:01:17,639
an ESPN night. I don't know who did the game,

1290
01:01:17,679 --> 01:01:19,400
if there was a if there was a Rockets, I mean,

1291
01:01:19,599 --> 01:01:20,440
who is playing there was?

1292
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 5: But I'll put it this way, do you can you

1293
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,000
really say that? Can you go to David?

1294
01:01:25,079 --> 01:01:27,239
Speaker 3: Can you go to can Adamsilver Goat and say, hey,

1295
01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:31,639
I'll let you miss these games, but I'll be damn

1296
01:01:31,679 --> 01:01:34,400
if you're going to miss a Peacock game or Amazon

1297
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:39,119
primeging is you're resting guys? Yeah, I don't know, can you?

1298
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,360
I mean, does that have to be collectively bargain or

1299
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,199
does that have to That's a great question.

1300
01:01:45,159 --> 01:01:47,800
Speaker 4: But again, when in doubt, what do you do ROSSI

1301
01:01:48,039 --> 01:01:51,920
you lie? Lying is lying will set you free When

1302
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,440
it comes to this, people don't take Matt's advice. My god,

1303
01:01:55,719 --> 01:02:00,920
that's horrible. I apologize when in doubt you lie. I'm

1304
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:04,159
gonna read your your self help book. I look forward

1305
01:02:04,159 --> 01:02:07,599
to talking to Gary Spring next about Thomas Ross.

1306
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 3: Oh, here we go, I do actually.

1307
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 4: Actually, Gary's call wasn't bad yesterday. It wasn't bad at all.

1308
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,880

Speaker 4: Dead ROSSI We save our travel stories sometimes for this

1332
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,159
segment of the week. Did you have a free and

1333
01:03:33,239 --> 01:03:37,360
clear week going to a variety of southern California airports?

1334
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 3: I mean I mentioned how I was trying to carry

1335
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:43,599
on a tent, yes, and they got.

1336
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 5: You pitching it.

1337
01:03:44,119 --> 01:03:45,639
Speaker 3: Were you pitching that ten or no?

1338
01:03:45,639 --> 01:03:45,719
Speaker 2: No?

1339
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,639
Speaker 3: I was not pitching of the tent, Matthew, all right,

1340
01:03:48,679 --> 01:03:50,440
But I had gotten a good deal on the ari

1341
01:03:50,559 --> 01:03:53,760
at the ari I re supply store, so it was

1342
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:55,840
a tent. I shouldn't pass up the deal, So I

1343
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:59,000
bought the ten. They wouldn't let me carry it on

1344
01:03:59,079 --> 01:04:03,719
because I had quote tent spikes in the tent bag.

1345
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:05,559
First of all, they were wrapped up in the tent.

1346
01:04:05,639 --> 01:04:07,599
It would take me like fifteen minutes to get them

1347
01:04:07,599 --> 01:04:10,679
out in the middle of an airplane or in the

1348
01:04:10,679 --> 01:04:14,239
middle of a flight. Second, of all, they're tent steaks.

1349
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,639
I am not gonna go get out my bag of

1350
01:04:16,679 --> 01:04:20,519
steaks and go take over the whole cockpit with tent steaks.

1351
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:25,559
It was impossible, literally impossible. I mean TSA rules are

1352
01:04:25,559 --> 01:04:27,400
TSA rules. But ain't nobody got time for that.

1353
01:04:28,159 --> 01:04:29,079
Speaker 5: Ain't nobody got.

1354
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 3: Note to self, put your tent, put your your tent

1355
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,800
steaks in your check on bag, check in bag, yeah,

1356
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,239
said no one else except you. That's not true. People

1357
01:04:40,239 --> 01:04:41,480
travel with tents all the time.

1358
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:45,599
Speaker 4: I've traveled for fifty years of my life. I've never

1359
01:04:45,679 --> 01:04:47,119

01:06:32,519 --> 01:06:34,320
bias with the Southeastern Conference.

1392
01:06:34,400 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 3: Let's be clear.

01:07:04,199 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 12: It's just like you want to give them a good rep,

1404
01:07:06,159 --> 01:07:08,480
all the suspect and how good their programs are, and

1405
01:07:08,519 --> 01:07:10,239
then they come out and act like they're they're not

1406
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,480

01:07:20,079 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 3: I just told the last half hour the ratings for

1410
01:07:22,519 --> 01:07:25,159
the top three games in college football were dominated by

1411
01:07:25,239 --> 01:07:32,280
SEC schools. I don't know, It's just it's they should

1412
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:33,880
be bragging, they should be a holes.

1413
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 5: They are the most powerful conference in sports.

1414
01:07:36,199 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 12: Period, but acting like they're not the favorite is crazy

1415
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,599
to me. I don't know, that's guess Paul Fine.

1416
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 4: Bombs trying to be he's trying to be impartial.

1422
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:57,360

01:08:01,159 --> 01:08:02,719
don't get it. I've never gotten into it. I don't

01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:10,600
I'm gonna say it. I'm gonna call these people out

1474
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,159
because I'm not happy with any of them. Foubo TV

1475
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:15,640
there was a discount and I wanted to do it,

1476
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:18,039
but the app is too slow. It's just too much.

1477
01:10:18,119 --> 01:10:20,479
I don't care for it. It's way behind in the lag.

1478
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:24,399
I want to go back to Xfinity Cable. So I

1479
01:10:24,479 --> 01:10:27,079
try to call them because I have Internet. I want

1480
01:10:27,079 --> 01:10:28,600
to bundle. I want to see what kind of deals

1481
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:31,880
they have. And this has to be an AI person.

1482
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,079
They're saying that that's not AI, but it has to

1483
01:10:35,119 --> 01:10:38,479
be the inflections and all that. I'm on the phone

1484
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,399
for over twenty minutes of this person. I'm saying, can

1485
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:45,439
I get NFL Network? And they're like, yes, you can

1486
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:51,399
get NHL network and I'm like no, kay, NFL National

1487
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:56,159
Football League. I'm screaming into the phone for twenty minutes

1488
01:10:56,199 --> 01:10:57,720
and then they put me on hold and they come back,

1489
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:59,159
and they put me on home and come back. It's

1490
01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:03,560
a whole Can I talk to a real person who understands,

1491
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,640
you know, American things like what the NFL network is

1492
01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:09,760
an NBA TV because other the things I need because

1493
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:13,119
of my job. This is so ridiculous with this lack

1494
01:11:13,159 --> 01:11:16,800
of support Exfinity, I'm calling you out by name. Your

1495
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,159
support sucks. I don't know if it was an AI

1496
01:11:19,279 --> 01:11:22,159
person or what, but it was ridiculous. Ain't nobody got

1497
01:11:22,159 --> 01:11:25,199
time for that? Hey, nobody got it was a massive

1498
01:11:25,239 --> 01:11:29,720
headache for like a half hour, just trying to get

1499
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,520
I'm trying to give you my money. I'm trying to

1500
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:34,720
give you my money and you don't want it.

1501
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:39,520
Speaker 5: That's strong right there.

1502
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:45,399
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous, Steve Kerr. He says he's very concerned that

1503
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:48,720
the NBA has increased pace combined with the condensed schedules,

1504
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:50,920
leading to increase in soft tissue injuries.

1505
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,359
Speaker 5: All right, then.

1506
01:11:54,279 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 4: Reduce the schedule to seventy games, go deep into your bench,

1507
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:00,600
shut you up.

1508
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:01,880
Speaker 5: You got one of the three options.

1509
01:12:02,279 --> 01:12:03,840
Speaker 9: Shit, sobam ass up man.

1510
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 5: I say, go deeper to your bench.

1511
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 4: Hmm, I say, don't play Draymond Green forty one minutes

1512
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:13,800
a game.

1513
01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,359
Speaker 3: This is interesting because this is happening in all major sports.

1514
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:19,960
You know what.

1515
01:12:20,159 --> 01:12:22,399
Speaker 5: That's the thing to all major sports.

1516
01:12:23,039 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 4: Stop telling me that you play too many games, go

1517
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:28,119
too many injuries, then stop taking the checks.

1518
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,119
Speaker 5: Yes, it fell about to go to eighteen game schedule.

1519
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 9: Shut your bum, mess up shit, obam ass up man.

1520
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,319
Speaker 3: Now selfishly, I'd like you to stay eighty two games,

1521
01:12:37,359 --> 01:12:38,359
just saying that's just me.

1522
01:12:40,319 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 5: But I'm not complaining, am I?

1523
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,279
Speaker 3: No? A little bit?

1524
01:12:44,119 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 5: Not really.

1525
01:12:44,640 --> 01:12:47,520
Speaker 3: Oh I had to take my private jet to clean

1526
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,279
my jet night and then I had to go to

1527
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:55,279

Speaker 2: Their okay, my phone is not working too good. Anyway,

1547
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,520
I was wanting to comment on that douchebag that called

1548
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:41,319
in earlier, what was his name, that was dragging the

1549
01:13:41,399 --> 01:13:42,439
Texans through the dirt.

1550
01:13:44,279 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 4: He was on a douchebag. We loved Ray, but Ray

1551
01:13:47,119 --> 01:13:49,319
a little bit of a take that we didn't agree with.

1552
01:13:49,359 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 5: But I want I can characterize a he.

1553
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,119
Speaker 2: Was really putting it to my belove at Texans. Anyway,

1554
01:13:54,239 --> 01:13:57,640
I first follow you an apology, Matt, because after listening

1555
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,439
to him, have you ever seen you? I'm sure you've

1556
01:14:00,479 --> 01:14:00,880
seen the.

1557
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:06,279
Speaker 13: Movie The Wizard of Oz I have, yes, yeah, So

1558
01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:09,880
compared to him, Matt, I owe you an apology for

1559
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,800
telling you how negative you were the other day.

1560
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:15,039
Speaker 2: You were like the what's the good witch called the

1561
01:14:15,039 --> 01:14:16,119
good Witch of the West.

1562
01:14:16,199 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 10: You are like the good Witch of the West.

1563
01:14:18,079 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 2: Positility prepared to him? That guy he showed how ignorant

1564
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:24,239
he is. Does the guy not know that the Texans

1565
01:14:24,239 --> 01:14:27,359
have won five out of the last seven games, that

1566
01:14:27,399 --> 01:14:30,760
they had the best defense in all of football, and

1567
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:32,600
he said that they were going to lose for sure

1568
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:34,640
of their next three games in a row. So he's

1569
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,560
just showing his own ignorance by just just opening his

1570
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,680
pile hoole and talking anyway. So all I have to

1571
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:45,199
say on that is to that, and I do call

1572
01:14:45,279 --> 01:14:48,359
him a douchebag that he just needs to shut his

1573
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,680
bumb ass up, mane because he don't know nothing.

1574
01:14:52,119 --> 01:14:56,119
Speaker 3: And man, thank you very much. All Right, man, you

1575
01:14:56,199 --> 01:14:58,039
drop somebody, to drop a d bang on somebody, you

1576
01:14:58,079 --> 01:15:00,760
better know them pretty well. Right. He's a sweet kid.

1577
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:05,479
We love Ray. Yes, you can make assumptions in this world.

1578
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:09,159
You're assuming I'm going to assume that RAI is on

1579
01:15:09,159 --> 01:15:11,399
a d bag. I'm assuming I'm not saying that. I'm

1580
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:12,680
not talking about race specifically.

1581
01:15:13,079 --> 01:15:16,079
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, real quick, before we get to the

1582
01:15:16,119 --> 01:15:17,359
news at noon, did.

1583
01:15:17,199 --> 01:15:20,399
Speaker 3: You see the story out of Michigan yesterday, the University

1584
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,520
of Michigan yesterday? What happened?

1585
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 4: So you know, these conferences raw, these college conferences are

1586
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,640
always looking to add money, figuring out ways to make money.

1587
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,439
So what they're doing is they're trying to sell equity

1588
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,880
in their conference. What and then, look, I know this

1589
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,680
just sounds and I'm trying to dumb this down as

1590
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:40,279
best I can.

1591
01:15:40,399 --> 01:15:41,399
Speaker 3: Okay, what.

1592
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:48,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, taking a lump sum of money from a private

1593
01:15:48,159 --> 01:15:53,199
equity firm in saying we'll give you certain ownership and

1594
01:15:53,319 --> 01:15:55,199
certain future revenues for a conference.

1595
01:15:55,319 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 5: Okay, that is happening now, it has an officially happened,

1596
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:01,199
but it's going.

1597
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,039
Speaker 4: That's the new thing is having these private equities on

1598
01:16:05,159 --> 01:16:11,239
these conferences. Well, the University of Michigan is and not

1599
01:16:11,319 --> 01:16:13,079
a fan of this at this time. Either the money

1600
01:16:13,159 --> 01:16:15,119
is not good or they're like, why are we taking

1601
01:16:15,159 --> 01:16:17,520
this money in advance when we're going to make this

1602
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:19,319
money on our own? Why do we need private equity

1603
01:16:19,359 --> 01:16:23,239
to run our operation? So essentially, they have said.

1604
01:16:23,039 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 5: In the last twenty.

1605
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 4: Four hours that unless they get all eighteen teams in

1606
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:30,520
a big ten to agree to this private equity thing

1607
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,640
and not force it down, the conferences throw like the

1608
01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:37,600
commissioner wants is very badly. That Michigan said when their

1609
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:40,560
current media deal is over with in twenty thirty six,

1610
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:43,119
which will be ten years from now they're going to

1611
01:16:43,199 --> 01:16:55,000
go independent. Hm, I understand you're the apprehension about letting

1612
01:16:55,039 --> 01:16:58,560
private equity run anything. Okay, we trust me. We kind

1613
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:02,520
of know how private equity goes in this world. Okay,

1614
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,520
I'm sorry. Though, the University of Michigan does not carry

1615
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,079
as big of a national brand. It's I think the

1616
01:17:09,159 --> 01:17:11,039
University of Michigan thinks it's carries.

1617
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:19,560
Speaker 3: Uh it's Tier one, it's a Tier one big brand.

1618
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:25,159
I would say, Okay, they recent have a national championship.

1619
01:17:25,159 --> 01:17:26,840
And also I might be biased in this because in

1620
01:17:26,880 --> 01:17:29,560
fourth grade I was a Michigan fan because they were

1621
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:31,920
really good and they're on national TV a lot. I

1622
01:17:31,960 --> 01:17:34,880
had Michigan gear from like I don't know, like fourth

1623
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,039
grade to like I don't know, like seventh grade or

1624
01:17:37,079 --> 01:17:38,800
something like that, just because they were really good in

1625
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:40,800
that era. That's when like drewe Hnson and Tom Brady

1626
01:17:41,279 --> 01:17:44,840
was there and uh, Brian Greasy. They had some good

1627
01:17:44,840 --> 01:17:46,520
teams and I became a Michigan fan.

1628
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:52,359
Speaker 4: Let's even say that Michigan football had enormous national casha.

1629
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:55,159
Speaker 5: It has some I'm I'm not blind to it.

1630
01:17:56,920 --> 01:18:01,079
Speaker 4: But if basketball doesn't, baseball doesn't it's Olympic sports. Do not,

1631
01:18:01,239 --> 01:18:07,279
it's women's sports, do not, baba, oh please. First of all,

1632
01:18:07,319 --> 01:18:10,920
nobody has nationally when they're good. I mean Duke, North Carolina, Kansas,

1633
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:11,560
and yeah.

1634
01:18:11,359 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 3: They're not there. I mean, but I mean you go

1635
01:18:13,039 --> 01:18:16,560
with the with They can kind of resurrect the Fab five.

1636
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,359
They were big brands, so I'm saying they could if

1637
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,720
they woke up and they were really good, I think

1638
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,399
they would have some cachet. It's not there now.

1639
01:18:26,159 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 4: I think it's very cute that schools think they can

1640
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,960
go independent and think if there's a better world out there.

1641
01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,159
This is to me, as the University of Michigan president

1642
01:18:35,399 --> 01:18:37,079
just pissed off about the thought.

1643
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:40,720
Speaker 5: Of being private equity. There is no way, no how,

1644
01:18:41,199 --> 01:18:46,279
no chance Michigan will have a chance to succeed compete.

1645
01:18:46,359 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 4: Sure it's Michigan, but overall make better money, better exposure

1646
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:59,840
than going on its own. I just it's like, basically,

1647
01:19:00,039 --> 01:19:02,279
I'm gonna take my ball and go somewhere else. Now,

1648
01:19:02,319 --> 01:19:05,600
some teams do that to go to different conferences, but

1649
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:09,119
to go independent, I don't think that's very smart at all.

1650
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 3: I wonder, hm it be obviously would be about whatever

1651
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,399
offers they could entertain and who would be willing to

1652
01:19:17,439 --> 01:19:22,399
offer them money for all their games? I'll on Notre

1653
01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:25,640
Dame and NBC of course is NBC with Notre Dame

1654
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:25,880
over the.

1655
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 4: Years, you wouldn't be able to cash in on the

1656
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,199
league TV contracts. You wouldn't be able to cash in

1657
01:19:32,199 --> 01:19:34,520
on the league television contracts with NCAA.

1658
01:19:34,640 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 5: With all the NAA sport.

1659
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:41,359
Speaker 4: You'd be essentially negotiating your own television deals everywhere. You

1660
01:19:41,399 --> 01:19:42,680
wouldn't have the Big ten network.

1661
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:45,399
Speaker 3: You wouldn't have CBS, you wouldn't have Fox, you wouldn't

1662
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,760
have UH. Now, granted, the SEC is on is dominant

1663
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,880
on Disney and and that's but you're not gonna be

1664
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:56,960
able to convince ABC and ESPN to bump their triple

1665
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:59,960
header of SEC football for your game against Ball State.

1666
01:20:00,319 --> 01:20:01,079
Speaker 5: It ain't happening.

1667
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:08,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, But if what is their recourse, if you are easy,

1668
01:20:08,319 --> 01:20:10,560
is to bend over to the Big ten and do

1669
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,520
whatever they say.

1670
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,039
Speaker 4: The question is going to be, is it bending over

1671
01:20:16,319 --> 01:20:19,119
or is it Hey, this is a negotiation we need

1672
01:20:19,359 --> 01:20:22,119
we need to think about do we really need.

1673
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:23,399
Speaker 5: To sell off part of our conference?

1674
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:25,239
Speaker 3: The board?

1675
01:20:25,319 --> 01:20:27,159
Speaker 4: We need to order you to ask for more money

1676
01:20:27,159 --> 01:20:29,479
before we ACTUI ask and say, Okay, maybe private equity

1677
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:29,800
isn't the.

1678
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:30,600
Speaker 5: Worst thing in the world.

1679
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,479
Speaker 3: So the Michigan Board of REA chairman of the Board

1680
01:20:34,520 --> 01:20:36,800
of Regions is saying that the Big Ten is trying

1681
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:37,800
to strong arm them.

1682
01:20:38,279 --> 01:20:41,600
Speaker 4: Yes, and I don't think Michigan wants to be strong armed.

1683
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:44,159
That's how I read the story. I don't know if

1684
01:20:44,159 --> 01:20:45,520
you're really you know, that's that's the one I look

1685
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:45,720
at it.

1686
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:46,119
Speaker 3: Last night.

1687
01:20:46,359 --> 01:20:49,640
Speaker 4: It came across to me as Michigan wants to dictate

1688
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,399
how they operate their league. They don't want the Big

1689
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,520
Ten Conference telling them how.

1690
01:20:54,399 --> 01:20:56,239
Speaker 3: What deals they shues and should says the Big Ten

1691
01:20:56,279 --> 01:20:59,039
Conference commissioners threatening the University of Michigan with penalties if

1692
01:20:59,079 --> 01:21:06,880
we do not approve this deal. The thing that makes

1693
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:09,119
me think about is maybe they maybe the Big Ten

1694
01:21:09,199 --> 01:21:11,720
things in ten years, these mega TV deals are gonna

1695
01:21:11,720 --> 01:21:12,079
go away.

1696
01:21:15,159 --> 01:21:15,359
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1697
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. This is this is a big mess.

1698
01:21:18,399 --> 01:21:19,319
Speaker 5: It's a big mess.

1699
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:22,159
Speaker 4: But I do not believe going independent is the right

1700
01:21:22,159 --> 01:21:22,760
answer for them.

1701
01:21:23,319 --> 01:21:26,119
Speaker 3: Well, I also don't. I think just taking money up

1702
01:21:26,159 --> 01:21:28,800
front from private investors is probably not. I mean, this

1703
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:30,760
is we're talking about college sports.

1704
01:21:31,239 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that sounds like to me, the Big Ten commissioners

1705
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:36,920
worried about the long term.

1706
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 3: Future and receiving money from third party investors. I mean,

1707
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,399
this is insane. Yeah, we're talking about college sports, Yeah,

1708
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:44,680
amateur athletics.

1709
01:21:45,079 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 4: And guess what's gonna be by the way, By the way,

1710
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,640
it's not gonna be the Big Ten Conference anymore. It's

1711
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:51,800
gonna be the Big Ten Conference presented by Rate rhym Insurance.

1712
01:21:53,399 --> 01:21:55,600
You will not be able to say just the because

1713
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,319
that's what private equity's gonna be. They're gonna want They're

1714
01:21:57,319 --> 01:21:59,920
gona want to monetize it EMEDI.

1715
01:21:59,279 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're gonna want control. So I understand if

1716
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:05,399
Michigan is pushing back on this. Are they pushing back

1717
01:22:05,399 --> 01:22:07,279
because they're worried about private dec with They are probably

1718
01:22:07,279 --> 01:22:09,520
pushing back because the private ec WEE dollars aren't good enough.

1719
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,119
Speaker 5: That's the question with the you and I do not.

1720
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 3: I would say probably more of the former. If everybody

1721
01:22:14,039 --> 01:22:15,720
else thinks the money is good enough, why wouldn't it

1722
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:18,760
be good enough for Michigan Because it sounds like a

1723
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:22,279
lot of schools are like, my guess is Wisconsin's like, absolutely,

1724
01:22:22,319 --> 01:22:25,640
we'll take an ownership stake in there at four billion

1725
01:22:25,760 --> 01:22:28,760
up front and a tiered distribution system in exchange for

1726
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:30,840
a ten percent cut of the Big tens media rights

1727
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:38,079
and sponsorships. Isn't that nothing? The hell is going on

1728
01:22:38,119 --> 01:22:41,039
out here? The hell is going on with college athletics.

1729
01:22:42,479 --> 01:22:44,720
The hell is going on. I could have said it

1730
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,880
better than myself. Let's get to the news at noon next.

1731
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:48,560

Speaker 4: Hey, with that, we go to the Michael Strahand of

1742
01:23:23,319 --> 01:23:24,560
Houston Sports News.

1743
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:26,319
Speaker 5: It's Ros Fitterrial.

1744
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:31,039
Speaker 3: Yes, Matthew, well, thank you, but Michael Strehan.

1745
01:23:31,399 --> 01:23:33,560
Speaker 5: Anyways, done, Good morning America? Sure?

1746
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 3: Why not?

1747
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:35,199
Speaker 5: Yes?

1748
01:23:35,319 --> 01:23:39,159
Speaker 3: As you mentioned here locally, we have the Rockets and

1749
01:23:39,239 --> 01:23:42,039
action against the Cavaliers. We'll get to that momentarily. But

1750
01:23:42,119 --> 01:23:45,640
the big news from yesterday, both c J. Stroud and

1751
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:51,399
Jalen Peatrie ruled out for the Houston Texans. They are

1752
01:23:51,800 --> 01:23:55,720
facing the Buffalo Bills tomorrow on Prime Video. They will

1753
01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:59,760
have Davis Mills starting the game. Some folks think that's

1754
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:04,359
a better thing than CJ. Stroud for the Houston Texans offense.

1755
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:08,560
Those people are idiots. But nonetheless, Davis Mills will be

1756
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,079
taking the start. And we're gonna talk about those people again,

1757
01:24:11,199 --> 01:24:13,039
whoever they are. They need to come clean, They need

1758
01:24:13,039 --> 01:24:15,199
to come correct and explain what their situation is and

1759
01:24:15,279 --> 01:24:18,720
what their flawed logic was. Line has ticked up a

1760
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,520
little bit from five and a half to now six

1761
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:24,560
for the Buffalo Bills with the news that CJ. Stroud

1762
01:24:24,600 --> 01:24:30,359
will definitively not be making the starts. Did you say

1763
01:24:30,399 --> 01:24:32,399
double digits for the Bills? I forget.

1764
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 5: Touchdown?

1765
01:24:35,039 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 3: Touchdown? Okay, so at least seven. Well, we'll see what

1766
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:43,640
happens the Buffalo Bills. According to you know, one of

1767
01:24:43,640 --> 01:24:47,920
your favorite NFL analysts, Matt ben Baldwin, deep in the

1768
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:53,359
analytics game, has them rated as the number one according

1769
01:24:53,359 --> 01:24:58,239
to Composite Rankings pass protection. The number one pass protection

1770
01:24:58,359 --> 01:25:02,319
team in the NFL the Buffalo Bills. Okay, now the

1771
01:25:02,319 --> 01:25:05,439
Bills do not play well in Houston, Texas. You know why?

1772
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:11,520
Speaker 4: Raucous crowd duh, huge energy, m loud on Beyonce if

1773
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:11,920
you will?

1774
01:25:14,279 --> 01:25:17,239
Speaker 3: Sure? Why not? And well a really good defense and

1775
01:25:17,279 --> 01:25:19,479
that guy Daniel Hunter and that guy Will Anderson pretty

1776
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,560
good too? Yeah? Pretty good? Pretty good? Uh So the Texans,

1777
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:27,159
according to those composite rankings, twentieth in terms of past protection.

1778
01:25:27,239 --> 01:25:28,600
Do you want to know where the Texans are in

1779
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:31,479
the Pro Football Focus? Oh, it's so good to have

1780
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:33,199
you defensive line rankings.

1781
01:25:33,199 --> 01:25:33,319
Speaker 6: Man.

1782
01:25:33,359 --> 01:25:35,159
Speaker 4: By the way, do you pay for that? Because I could.

1783
01:25:35,159 --> 01:25:37,319
I try to find it and it was on behind paywall?

1784
01:25:37,399 --> 01:25:39,640
Speaker 3: Oh is it behind the pay We both, Yeah, they're

1785
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,399
behind the paywall. Yes, I do play pay for Pro

1786
01:25:41,479 --> 01:25:43,600
Football Focus. I use a lot of their fantasy stuff,

1787
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,439
my fantasy drafts. You know, I'm back to back to

1788
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:48,279
back champions. They got good fantasy stuff.

1789
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,279
Speaker 5: Send me the password next time. So if you're going, I.

1790
01:25:50,239 --> 01:25:53,199
Speaker 3: Don't know, you want to send me some cash. They

1791
01:25:53,239 --> 01:25:55,279
keep jacking up the price on this thing. This might

1792
01:25:55,319 --> 01:25:57,239
be the last year. I do it because I like

1793
01:25:57,319 --> 01:25:59,720
getting the player ratings I like all the fantasy content

1794
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:02,640
and all that stuff, but man, I keep charging more

1795
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:08,039
and more. It's pissing me off. Anyways, Texans twenty sixth

1796
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:13,800
offensive line in the NFL. Last week they were twenty five,

1797
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:15,760
so they slipped back. They hopped up to twenty four

1798
01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,920
a couple of weeks ago. Then they've gone progressively worse

1799
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,399
a spot each week to twenty sixth now to twenty

1800
01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:26,680
sixth in the NFL. So your gut feeling there was

1801
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:33,439
a rando, Hey, let's go from god awful to below average. Yes, hit, Well,

1802
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:35,920
they're twenty six now. I guess I said they'd get

1803
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:37,239
twenty five at some point in season.

1804
01:26:37,359 --> 01:26:39,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's a win for you, sadly.

1805
01:26:41,199 --> 01:26:44,439
Speaker 3: Uh all right else where I'm at. How about Lebron

1806
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:50,479
James debuting against the Utah Jazz, a record twenty third

1807
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:56,840
year in the NBA, also extending a record he was

1808
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,640
able to score in the end of the game. I'm sorry,

1809
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:02,520
drive lamp in the third quarter, extending his streak of

1810
01:27:02,600 --> 01:27:07,920
double digit scoring performances one thousand, two hundred and ninety

1811
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,319
three games of double digit scoring, which is also every

1812
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:16,760
game in which he has played since January sixth of

1813
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:18,439
two thousand and seven.

1814
01:27:22,119 --> 01:27:23,119
Speaker 5: I wonder do you think.

1815
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:25,159
Speaker 4: He intentionally chose Utah to do this or it was

1816
01:27:25,239 --> 01:27:27,000
just it was just the right time to come back.

1817
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,840
Speaker 3: Uta sucks. I don't know. That's certainly a lot. That's

1818
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,680
probably me wanted a soft landing spot. Yep.

1819
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 5: I would do the same thing too.

1820
01:27:35,119 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 3: He's about a month in change from being forty one

1821
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:41,800
years old. He had eleven points, twelve assists in three

1822
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:43,239
rebounds in thirty minutes.

1823
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,520
Speaker 5: Does he play at least forty five? Yes or no?

1824
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:45,720
Speaker 3: No?

1825
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:48,279
Speaker 5: I would agree with you.

1826
01:27:49,079 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1827
01:27:50,119 --> 01:27:50,920
Speaker 5: I think he's going.

1828
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:53,600
Speaker 3: To get an opportunity to own an NBA team, and

1829
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:55,119
I think they're gonna say as part of this, you

1830
01:27:55,199 --> 01:27:56,439
gotta step aside from playing.

1831
01:27:57,680 --> 01:27:59,079
Speaker 5: Plus, the injuries are starting to accrue.

1832
01:27:59,159 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 3: They just are mentioning injuries, Matt, and you mentioned this

1833
01:28:01,920 --> 01:28:05,680
earlier when we were talking about injury issues. Steve Kerr

1834
01:28:06,319 --> 01:28:09,119
talking to the Warriors medical staff saying they believe that

1835
01:28:09,159 --> 01:28:12,880
the wear and tear, the speed, the pace, and the

1836
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:18,560
mileage is factoring into an influx of soft tissue injuries

1837
01:28:18,680 --> 01:28:22,119
in the NBA giannists in the Koopo down with a

1838
01:28:22,119 --> 01:28:25,880
groin injury, Victor Wimbinyama with the left calf strains, Stephan

1839
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,720
Castle with a hip flexer strain. Other notable NBA players

1840
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:35,359
out with calf strains include Anthony Davis, John Morant, True Holiday,

1841
01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:36,319
and others.

1842
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:39,199
Speaker 4: You are the official judge of the show and the

1843
01:28:39,239 --> 01:28:40,479
official position of the show.

1844
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,880
Speaker 3: You do a lot of different things. How we're going

1845
01:28:42,920 --> 01:28:45,880
to fix the soft tissue stuff, that's the question for

1846
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,000
medical people. We've been talking about this now for years.

1847
01:28:49,479 --> 01:28:52,199
These players are pushing their bodies three hundred and sixty

1848
01:28:52,239 --> 01:28:55,520
five days a year. They're taking supplements, they're taking the

1849
01:28:56,239 --> 01:29:00,439
science is refined to where you're maximizing your muscles and

1850
01:29:00,439 --> 01:29:04,640
and clearly there there's some people are pushing their bodies

1851
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:05,359
a little bit too hard.

1852
01:29:05,399 --> 01:29:07,520
Speaker 12: And might I add as well, with all of this traveling,

1853
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,520
all that stuff, sitting down for a long periods of time,

1854
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,039
you don't you're by those soft tissues don't get enough

1855
01:29:12,039 --> 01:29:15,319
time to recover. And like everybody knows, that's a part

1856
01:29:15,319 --> 01:29:17,000
of the training as well. You need time, you need

1857
01:29:17,000 --> 01:29:19,479
time to sleep, your body needs toever you're just gonna

1858
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,079
keep especially those soft tissues, especially you get sora and

1859
01:29:22,079 --> 01:29:23,680
everything is just gonna come down from there.

1860
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:27,199
Speaker 3: Do you understand I can speak on the Rockets because

1861
01:29:27,199 --> 01:29:28,199
I'm with these guys.

1862
01:29:29,079 --> 01:29:32,720
Speaker 5: The Rockets spend hundreds of thousands.

1863
01:29:32,119 --> 01:29:37,079
Speaker 3: Of dollars a year on sports performance, probably million travel Oh,

1864
01:29:37,119 --> 01:29:37,760
I'm sure millions.

1865
01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:40,239
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm just I'm talking about just salur.

1866
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:45,239
Speaker 3: We we have three soft tissue guys, we have two.

1867
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,119
Speaker 4: Strength and conditions. We have a full train, I mean,

1868
01:29:47,439 --> 01:29:51,600
our sports performance. The Rocket sports performance is like seven

1869
01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:54,760
people deep on the traveling parts. They have a dietitian

1870
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,960
that travels. I mean, they're ROSSI The Rockets, among like

1871
01:29:58,039 --> 01:29:59,920
many other teams, are doing everything.

1872
01:30:00,119 --> 01:30:06,319
Speaker 3: Really possible to keep this incredible, rigorous athletics schedule going.

1873
01:30:06,840 --> 01:30:11,000
Speaker 5: But yet the soft tissue injuries remain undefeated.

1874
01:30:11,159 --> 01:30:11,560
Speaker 3: They just do.

1875
01:30:12,279 --> 01:30:12,479
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1876
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:17,239
Speaker 3: I just think it's a situation where the we've learned

1877
01:30:17,239 --> 01:30:19,600
so much about the perfect diet and the perfect training

1878
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:22,039
and the perfect supplements and stuff that the bodies are getting,

1879
01:30:22,079 --> 01:30:24,359
they're just getting pushed too far. The science is too

1880
01:30:24,359 --> 01:30:28,279
good in a way to where you're maximizing muscles, size

1881
01:30:28,319 --> 01:30:30,520
and strength and all this other stuff, and the bodies,

1882
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,000
the bodies are tapping out. Let me have it for

1883
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:35,560
one night, we'll get some jump food, huh, and we'll

1884
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:38,880
go bowlding. I just probably what Jonathan's saying. Rest, I

1885
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:39,479
mean you can't.

1886
01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,239
Speaker 12: You can't rest. Well, you sit in the plane after

1887
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:43,520
you do a game. They just finish the game with Sunday,

1888
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,039
got on a plane in tuesdays. I mean, it's not

1889
01:30:46,119 --> 01:30:47,840
what time you can let your legs just come out

1890
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,239
of rest. I know they have stretch out and like trainers,

1891
01:30:50,319 --> 01:30:51,479
but it's just natural.

1892
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,319
Speaker 4: Rest is hard to do it. How do you rest

1893
01:30:53,319 --> 01:30:54,920
when you're playing three to four days a week. You

1894
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:56,920
know you can cut your practices down for sure.

1895
01:30:57,039 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 12: But you know you can't do that because you're gonna

1896
01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:01,239
be resty, you know. So it's a hard Like Ross

1897
01:31:01,239 --> 01:31:04,720
I made a really good point, it's max you maximize

1898
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:08,119
your whole you're pushing the limits. Yeah, and now as listen,

1899
01:31:08,159 --> 01:31:09,880
we see in baseball right now with Tommy John you

1900
01:31:09,920 --> 01:31:12,720
maximize the velocity everything which you can push, and then uh,

1901
01:31:13,199 --> 01:31:14,680
the body can only handle some mutch.

1902
01:31:17,319 --> 01:31:19,960
Speaker 3: So how we're gonna resolve it. Maybe they a moratorium.

1903
01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:23,439
Nobody's allowed to work out in August. They catch you

1904
01:31:23,479 --> 01:31:25,199
working out and you're an a violation of the CBA

1905
01:31:26,159 --> 01:31:30,880
that's everybody gets in August like gain like literally, it's gain.

1906
01:31:31,119 --> 01:31:37,000
It's gained ten pounds. Yes, flab, drink smoke, yes, eat

1907
01:31:37,079 --> 01:31:41,079
fried food, don't work out, put your hands between your pants,

1908
01:31:41,319 --> 01:31:43,319
inside your pants and just watch TV. Yeah. In the

1909
01:31:43,359 --> 01:31:45,840
old days, you have like guys who just play themselves

1910
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:47,680
in the shape during the season. Now it's like you're

1911
01:31:47,680 --> 01:31:50,319
a If you're not working out and pushing and going

1912
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:53,840
you know, two three a day workouts and going simulated

1913
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:55,800
five on five and doing this and this and that,

1914
01:31:55,840 --> 01:32:00,039
you're a bad teammate. That's the culture of it.

1915
01:32:00,199 --> 01:32:04,079
Speaker 5: All Right, We're gonna asking may Ajoke about this tomorrow.

1916
01:32:04,119 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 3: Wouldn't be a good question, Yeah, it's be a great question.

1917
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:09,239
Speaker 5: Anything else from you?

1918
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,159
Speaker 3: What else you want? How about Shidor Sanders making his

1919
01:32:13,159 --> 01:32:18,399
first NFL start getting robbed? Well, yeah, we mentioned that yesterday.

1920
01:32:19,439 --> 01:32:22,640
Speaker 4: And did you mentioned the college football rankings? Houston Cougar's

1921
01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:23,840
coming out at number twenty three?

1922
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:29,000
Speaker 3: Congratulations to the Kooks. You're welcome. Yeah, are there still

1923
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,000
twenty third? Even though they had that embarrassing loss to

1924
01:32:31,039 --> 01:32:32,760
the West Virginia Mountaineers.

1925
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,520
Speaker 5: That's because half the officiating crew is from Morgantown.

1926
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:38,159
Speaker 3: That's not terrible. You could tell they were wearing shoes.

1927
01:32:39,079 --> 01:32:41,039
Speaker 5: Well, they all had like four teeth, they.

1928
01:32:40,960 --> 01:32:43,359
Speaker 3: All had choppings, they all had spatoons, and that was

1929
01:32:43,399 --> 01:32:45,319
a dead giveaway. By the way.

1930
01:32:45,359 --> 01:32:48,920
Speaker 4: Bill bill Bender at Sporting News has the week thirteen

1931
01:32:48,960 --> 01:32:51,319
Bowl projections. He has the Cougars playing SMU in the

1932
01:32:51,319 --> 01:32:54,960
Texas Bowl. I can guarantee you that's not going to happen.

1933
01:32:55,079 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 3: Why it's not going to happen?

1934
01:33:00,079 --> 01:33:04,119
Speaker 5: Why because we play SMU too much as it is.

1935
01:33:05,399 --> 01:33:11,600
Speaker 3: I thought they were in the ACC there. I don't

1936
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:12,920
get what you're getting at. We don't.

1937
01:33:12,920 --> 01:33:14,560
Speaker 5: We don't believe in Houston versus Dallas.

1938
01:33:14,560 --> 01:33:17,079
Speaker 3: But that doesn't mean it. That'd be a good betcha.

1939
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 5: It'd be a great matcha. Not at the Texas Bowl.

1940
01:33:20,680 --> 01:33:22,199
Go somewhere us hoop touch bot.

1941
01:33:23,199 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 3: Why do you? Why do you care? What do you

1942
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:28,199
what about this? Why? So then we can talk about

1943
01:33:28,199 --> 01:33:30,159
all the Houston fans not showing up to the Texas

1944
01:33:30,159 --> 01:33:33,640
Bowl in Houston. That'd be fun. Uh uh, That's why

1945
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:36,399
I don't want to discuss it. Yes, I don't draw either,

1946
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,840
sm You don't bring people either, So no, they don't.

1947
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:39,800
There's their SMU.

1948
01:33:41,319 --> 01:33:43,399
Speaker 5: We can we can get fifteen thousand at the game

1949
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:44,239
Bowl game.

1950
01:33:46,199 --> 01:33:51,600
Speaker 3: In Houston. That's embarrassing. Twenty that's yeah, come on, now,

1951
01:33:51,640 --> 01:33:54,279
let's get thirty least five thirty.

1952
01:33:54,039 --> 01:33:56,880
Speaker 5: Why you know what, I'll put my name on it.

1953
01:33:57,359 --> 01:34:00,199
Speaker 3: Houston plays in Texas Bowl, thirty thousand Cougar fans will

1954
01:34:00,239 --> 01:34:04,000
be there, I would hope. So it's literally in Houston,

1955
01:34:05,079 --> 01:34:08,560
and it's gonna be indoors. Seriously, there's a ton of

1956
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:10,399
parking now, so I don't want to hear it now,

1957
01:34:11,079 --> 01:34:11,560
you know.

1958
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 5: All right, there's the news at noon. It is a

1959
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:14,560
twelve fifteen.

1960
01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:16,640
Speaker 4: We have to have a heart to heart talk with

1961
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:18,199
some of you on the for you tab if you're

1962
01:34:18,239 --> 01:34:25,039
like Texans Toro or battled Red Robbie or Deep Steal Dolores.

1963
01:34:24,640 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 5: Whatever the case will be.

1964
01:34:26,279 --> 01:34:28,760
Speaker 4: We've got to stop talking about a Texans narrative that

1965
01:34:28,840 --> 01:34:37,920
is on those Twitter streets. We'll discuss it next. Matt

1966
01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:39,920
and Ross with you on this Wednesday. If you want

1967
01:34:39,920 --> 01:34:43,319

1968
01:34:43,399 --> 01:34:43,880
join the show.

1969
01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:44,199
Speaker 3: Ross.

1970
01:34:44,199 --> 01:34:46,119
Speaker 4: We do invite our callers to come in and most

1971
01:34:46,199 --> 01:34:48,840
time we enjoy your experience of joining us.

1972
01:34:48,880 --> 01:34:50,560
Speaker 3: So, yeah, we'd love to hear from you.

1973
01:34:51,359 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I gotta hear from somebody that's trying to

1974
01:34:58,239 --> 01:34:59,800
convince me that Davis Mills is the better.

1975
01:34:59,840 --> 01:35:00,720
Speaker 5: So THJ.

1976
01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:06,960
Speaker 4: Stroud, I mean, my gosh, I.

1977
01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:09,680
Speaker 5: Mean money Mill. I'm looking at these tweets. Money Mills

1978
01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:10,399
is our answer.

1979
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:15,000
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, CJ gets hurt too much.

1980
01:35:15,560 --> 01:35:20,079
Speaker 5: I mean, God, bless it. You guys watch a little football, right.

1981
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:26,920
Speaker 3: We are swimming in an ocean of stupidity. Matthew, maybe

1982
01:35:27,039 --> 01:35:29,920
just people just trolling, right, that's a troll job. Well, yeah,

1983
01:35:29,960 --> 01:35:34,319
that's that's the problem. Especially on Twitter. You're incentivized to

1984
01:35:34,359 --> 01:35:37,479
get the most views by saying the most incendiary and

1985
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:44,960
or stupid stuff so you can make your six dollars check.

1986
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 5: A Bachi says, not not the watch that I'm paying

1987
01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:50,159
for us.

1988
01:35:50,159 --> 01:35:52,439
Speaker 4: As a batch, many people are saying that Davis Mills

1989
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:54,439
is the future of the Texans and they should move

1990
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,840
c J. Stroud for assets. This off right, QB class.

1991
01:35:58,000 --> 01:35:58,800
Who are these people?

1992
01:35:59,039 --> 01:36:03,359
Speaker 3: Nobody? They are not real? I would hope not.

1993
01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:11,159
Speaker 5: God, this is it's painful in Mills.

1994
01:36:11,199 --> 01:36:16,800
Speaker 3: We trust money Mills getting his opportunity finally stays healthy

1995
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,760
and CJ. I mean, this is crazy, you guys I'm

1996
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:25,760
not talking about everybody, but in theory. Y'all all love CJ. Stroud.

1997
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:28,680
Oh my god, this is ai video of Davis Mills

1998
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,880
throwing the ball with money flying in the air.

1999
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 4: I think we got to get rid of some things.

2000
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:42,520
We got to get rid of infielder. Utility guy is

2001
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,640
better than the everyday guy we got to get rid of.

2002
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,479
The backup quarterback is better than what we currently have now.

2003
01:36:50,359 --> 01:36:51,680
I think we have to what else were we gonna

2004
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:52,279
to get rid of?

2005
01:36:55,239 --> 01:37:01,199
Speaker 3: Prospect guy? Joey is a future Hall of Famer, Yes,

2006
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,239
Joey Loper, you can't continue to trade away the low

2007
01:37:04,239 --> 01:37:12,000
perfetos of the world. I don't know, ken It sports

2008
01:37:12,079 --> 01:37:14,239
has so many people that follow it ross that we

2009
01:37:14,359 --> 01:37:15,560
can't all collectively have.

2010
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 5: The same opinion. I'm not naive to that that's true,

2011
01:37:19,039 --> 01:37:22,279
but there, but there can't be a large group of

2012
01:37:22,279 --> 01:37:26,920
people that aren't like, seriously filled with all sorts of

2013
01:37:27,079 --> 01:37:29,439
high end meds that think that Davis Mills is a

2014
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,079
better long term solution than Tip.

2015
01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:35,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, diversity of thought is important, very important. Yeah, we

2016
01:37:35,279 --> 01:37:38,199
can't always agree. This show doesn't always agree. We rarely actually, no,

2017
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:42,199
we do. Would I would say most seventy thirty. Yeah, well,

2018
01:37:42,359 --> 01:37:42,920
and that's good.

2019
01:37:43,159 --> 01:37:45,560
Speaker 4: If we always disagreed, it would be hard for us

2020
01:37:45,600 --> 01:37:47,199
to student, if we always agree to each other, that

2021
01:37:47,199 --> 01:37:48,840
would just be like sickening.

2022
01:37:49,199 --> 01:37:51,399
Speaker 3: Yeah. But whenever you feel like you want to be wrong,

2023
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:54,359
then we disagree. It's nice. Whenever you feel like a

2024
01:37:54,439 --> 01:37:56,800
jack you want to be an at jackass Roger Tribillions,

2025
01:38:01,039 --> 01:38:03,560
oh money mills. Well, we'll see. Maybe he's gonna have

2026
01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:07,399
a great game on Thursday. I got you're ready for

2027
01:38:07,439 --> 01:38:09,800
You're ready for this, bold ass hot ash take. You're

2028
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:10,239
indy for this?

2029
01:38:12,399 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 5: How many games left in the season?

2030
01:38:13,720 --> 01:38:14,000
Speaker 3: Seven?

2031
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:21,199
Speaker 4: Yes, if the Texans go two and one, they're gonna

2032
01:38:21,199 --> 01:38:22,119
squak in the playoffs.

2033
01:38:22,680 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're I think they that.

2034
01:38:26,239 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 5: Here Here, here is the demand.

2035
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:30,560
Speaker 4: Here is the definitive statement that I'm not I'm gonna

2036
01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:35,680
say very slowly and I'll repeat it. The Texans must

2037
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:39,000
win two of the next three games. They if they

2038
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,359
can go eating less than two and one, they're going

2039
01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:44,359
to get caught up in a tiebreaker that they can't

2040
01:38:44,359 --> 01:38:47,319
get out of because their tiebreakers are gonna be with

2041
01:38:48,239 --> 01:38:54,119
the Colts, the Chiefs, and the Bills. You must the

2042
01:38:54,159 --> 01:38:56,359
Texans must win.

2043
01:38:56,600 --> 01:38:59,760
Speaker 3: Go to and one in their next three games in

2044
01:39:00,079 --> 01:39:02,680
order to make the playoffs. If they go one and two,

2045
01:39:03,359 --> 01:39:07,880
they're not getting in. I don't know that for sure.

2046
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:11,479
They could finish ten and seven. You don't, Yeah, you don't.

2047
01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:13,119
You said they're a way out of the playoffs. And

2048
01:39:13,159 --> 01:39:16,439
then they won three out of four. So no, you said,

2049
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:18,319
you said the Astros are winning the aos. So we

2050
01:39:18,399 --> 01:39:22,279
know we don't know, midicine mins, I know, I know

2051
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:28,199
they don't. They could beat the Cardinals, Raiders, Chargers and

2052
01:39:28,319 --> 01:39:29,880
at the that last game of the season, the Colts

2053
01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:33,880
could be playing for nothing, and then that would put

2054
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:34,720
them in ten and seven.

2055
01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:35,800
Speaker 5: Gimmes, you had already.

2056
01:39:36,079 --> 01:39:37,079
Speaker 3: I didn't say gimmes.

2057
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:38,920
Speaker 5: I ran through it pretty quick though.

2058
01:39:38,960 --> 01:39:42,920
Speaker 3: What were they Cardinals, Raiders? Cardinals and Raiders at home?

2059
01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:45,960
Those should be wins, and then on the road to

2060
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,840
the Chargers, who just got destroyed by the Jaguars.

2061
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:53,279
Speaker 5: The Texans will not be favored at the La Charges.

2062
01:39:53,319 --> 01:39:55,399
Speaker 3: Not that means everything, because we know Vegas is always worse,

2063
01:39:55,520 --> 01:39:57,319
not sometimes right, sometimes wrong.

2064
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:02,920
Speaker 5: I'm gonna say it again. You can mark all right.

2065
01:40:03,039 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 4: The Texans must go too and one or better in

2066
01:40:06,760 --> 01:40:09,479
the next three games, or there is no chance.

2067
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:13,119
Speaker 3: No way, no name on it. I'm putting my name

2068
01:40:13,239 --> 01:40:16,159
on I'm in Cleveland, Ohio, baby name on it. Okay,

2069
01:40:18,039 --> 01:40:20,399
if you could be right, I mean you could.

2070
01:40:20,159 --> 01:40:23,000
Speaker 5: Be and guess what if I am, guess what I'm

2071
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:24,279
gonna do. Let's tell you about it.

2072
01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:27,359
Speaker 3: Of course. That's why I write these things down, because

2073
01:40:27,399 --> 01:40:28,960
you're gonna bring it up when you're right and pat

2074
01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:31,479
yourself in the back and tell yourself you're gonna literally

2075
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:35,439
give yourself a nickname. No strip, Thomas. Well, somebody's gonna

2076
01:40:35,479 --> 01:40:38,880
be there to names to let you know, we see

2077
01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:43,199
what's that. I got a couple, not many, five diamond

2078
01:40:43,239 --> 01:40:46,520
Matt high Horse, Matt Fancy, Matt Peach, basket.

2079
01:40:47,279 --> 01:40:48,359
Speaker 5: Mister Texas, those are the two.

2080
01:40:48,439 --> 01:40:51,119
Speaker 3: I'm going with you, the worst mister Texas in history?

2081
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:54,800
Was he saying that all last week? Jonathan, these mister Texas.

2082
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,479
Speaker 12: You know, no, because the tweet took away his uh,

2083
01:40:57,600 --> 01:41:02,560
you know, his attention. But this crazy what happened? Why

2084
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:05,880
that's all he was talking about. I mean, look, it

2085
01:41:05,960 --> 01:41:06,720
got two point two?

2086
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:08,359
Speaker 5: Is that where it's at?

2087
01:41:08,399 --> 01:41:08,479
Speaker 3: Now?

2088
01:41:08,520 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 5: Where did you get up to like two point five?

2089
01:41:11,279 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 3: It was not even it. I mean it was a

2090
01:41:13,479 --> 01:41:20,640
great point a tweet there was incisive analysis, was spectacular,

2091
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:24,079
good stuff from sports. Empty, that's all false. You are

2092
01:41:24,079 --> 01:41:25,359
the best tweeter in history.

2093
01:41:25,479 --> 01:41:28,600
Speaker 4: Nope, nope, nope, that's exactly My point is my tweet

2094
01:41:28,680 --> 01:41:32,199
was average at best, and I got two million views.

2095
01:41:32,520 --> 01:41:35,239
Speaker 5: It doesn't make any sense. The algorithm of the of

2096
01:41:35,279 --> 01:41:36,720
the X account is flawed.

2097
01:41:38,159 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you just ended up in the four U tab.

2098
01:41:42,319 --> 01:41:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, Gordy's got two point three million? Did I gravy

2099
01:41:46,960 --> 01:41:48,680
trainer and I get a separate group of two million

2100
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:49,319
looking at that?

2101
01:41:50,039 --> 01:41:52,399
Speaker 3: No, it's it would be your views, not his. If

2102
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:54,840
you if you quote tweeted it, or you're replied.

2103
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:57,439
Speaker 5: I quote tweeted two point one minutes.

2104
01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm down two hundred thousand views on that one from Gordy.

2105
01:42:02,359 --> 01:42:10,880
Ugh wait, you got eleven thousand likes? See yeah, wow good.

2106
01:42:10,920 --> 01:42:14,600
For years I didn't get ratio. Let's be some kind

2107
01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:18,119
of record. Gordy was getting ratioed.

2108
01:42:18,399 --> 01:42:19,479
Speaker 5: Gordy was getting ratioed.

2109
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's like, it's a joke, and I said, well,

2110
01:42:21,800 --> 01:42:23,600
there were no there were no mojis, there was no

2111
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:25,720
ha haas, there were no quotes.

2112
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:27,560
Speaker 5: He was serious as a heart attack.

2113
01:42:29,720 --> 01:42:31,760
Speaker 4: Went in doubt When you say I was just joking,

2114
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:34,239
it means you're coming, but you're trying to circle back

2115
01:42:34,279 --> 01:42:35,600
on what you said and trying to get out of it.

Speaker 3: We're still good friends. Good job, guys, good job Matt.

Speaker 5: I considered it flying by. I'm enjoying it.

01:42:58,279 --> 01:43:01,239
Speaker 3: I'm agreeing with you. We're all green. Yeah, we're agreeing

Speaker 9: Uh huh.

2132
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:06,920
Speaker 5: I thought y'all were not.

2133
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:08,239
Speaker 3: Going to offer something going on. I'm sorry. I was

Speaker 5: Here on the program, ross would is today's edition to

2139
01:43:22,239 --> 01:43:23,560
Believe or Not. At one point fifty.

2140
01:43:23,800 --> 01:43:25,279
Speaker 3: The hell if I know what do you what should

2141
01:43:25,279 --> 01:43:25,479
it be?

2142
01:43:26,359 --> 01:43:28,800
Speaker 4: Well, we've then Cleveland before, it's nothing new. Oh by

2143
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:31,520
the wa, Well I got one something for you while

2144
01:43:31,560 --> 01:43:35,239
you were gone. Cole Thompson, who's I would say it's

2145
01:43:35,239 --> 01:43:36,880
a pretty decent hot take machine.

2146
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:41,199
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, I'll call him a hot take cannon. Yeah,

2147
01:43:41,279 --> 01:43:43,560
he ain't firing on all cylinders, but he fires off

2148
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,720
on some cylinders. He had a super hot take about

2149
01:43:46,720 --> 01:43:49,439
the Dallas Mavericks that he's feeling pretty good about. And

2150
01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:53,880
I kind of understand why. Now, God, I gotta get

2151
01:43:54,199 --> 01:43:54,680
agree with him.

2152
01:43:55,119 --> 01:43:57,239
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't agree with him, Okay, but there

2153
01:43:57,279 --> 01:43:59,840
was stuff that was out there today that made me go, oh, oh,

2154
01:44:00,199 --> 01:44:04,479
could be onto something. And if you're gonna give col

2155
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:06,399
Thompson his flowers, oh, this is gonna be. This is

2156
01:44:06,399 --> 01:44:09,680
gonna be a low end segment for me. It's up

2157
01:44:09,720 --> 01:44:14,560
next seven to one three two, one two five Sevenati alright,

2158
01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:20,319
so Rossie, at least for now here in Houston, Texas,

2159
01:44:20,319 --> 01:44:21,880
it is the Matt Thamas Show with Rossome here in

2160
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:23,880
Cleveland for tonight's Rockets a Cavaliers game.

2161
01:44:23,880 --> 01:44:25,840
Speaker 5: We've not really got much of the game. If you

2162
01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:26,159
want to.

2163
01:44:26,119 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 4: Discuss that we're here for you. We do like the Rockets.

2164
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,920
We believe in them. Seven one three two one two

2165
01:44:31,039 --> 01:44:32,880
five Sevanini. They're by the way, they're very good. They've

2166
01:44:32,880 --> 01:44:34,359
won four consecutive games.

2167
01:44:34,720 --> 01:44:38,439
Speaker 3: All right. Uh, so the Astros are happy with dyke

2168
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:38,840
In Park.

2169
01:44:39,520 --> 01:44:39,640
Speaker 9: Uh.

2170
01:44:39,840 --> 01:44:42,279
Speaker 4: We're gonna get some enhancements to Tota Center. So the

2171
01:44:42,359 --> 01:44:45,640
Rockets are working on that. And the Texans are gonna

2172
01:44:45,680 --> 01:44:49,880
ultimately either get reinforcements to and refurbishment of NRG Stadium

2173
01:44:49,960 --> 01:44:51,920
or they're going to go try to find a spot

2174
01:44:52,039 --> 01:44:55,119
to build a new stadium. That's to be determined, right,

2175
01:44:56,960 --> 01:44:59,399
But generally speaking, I think would you say it's the

2176
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:01,960
harmony is decent in Houston, Texas? Right when of sports

2177
01:45:02,000 --> 01:45:03,479
teams and leases and all that kind of thing.

2178
01:45:03,399 --> 01:45:05,560
Speaker 3: Right, nobody's in danger of leaving?

2179
01:45:06,279 --> 01:45:06,920
Speaker 5: I don't think so.

2180
01:45:07,119 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 4: Well, the Dallas Mavericks are fighting with the Dallas Stars, Okay,

2181
01:45:14,800 --> 01:45:18,560
what's the beef. The beef is the least agreement at

2182
01:45:18,600 --> 01:45:26,000
American Airline Center, okay. M And apparently the Stars own

2183
01:45:26,119 --> 01:45:31,640
the least of the building and there is legal drama

2184
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:32,960
and I don't want to get into too much of

2185
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,119
the minutia on that between the Stars and Mavericks.

2186
01:45:35,119 --> 01:45:35,479
Speaker 3: But they don't.

2187
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:36,359
Speaker 5: They're not getting along.

2188
01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:45,359
Speaker 4: Documents filed by the Dallas Stars yesterday allege that the

2189
01:45:45,399 --> 01:45:49,239
owners of the Mavericks have violated the Mavericks franchise agreement

2190
01:45:49,279 --> 01:45:54,680
with the City of Dallas. According to the court documents,

2191
01:45:54,720 --> 01:45:58,680
the franchise agreement requires the Mavericks to continuously designate the

2192
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,680
city of Dallas as the location of the team's principal

2193
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:07,199
corporate and executive officers offices. Excuse me, well, according to

2194
01:46:07,359 --> 01:46:10,640
the recent state files with the Texas Secretary of State,

2195
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:17,079
the new owners of the Dallas Mavericks, the Dumont's, designated

2196
01:46:17,159 --> 01:46:20,479
the location of the team's principal corporate and executive offices

2197
01:46:21,600 --> 01:46:22,840
in Las Vegas, Nevada.

2198
01:46:26,479 --> 01:46:29,239
Speaker 3: And now do these are these people casino owners or

2199
01:46:29,239 --> 01:46:32,760
anything like that. Yes, they are, ah and.

2200
01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:36,079
Speaker 5: The Dumont family bought it from the Cubans or from

2201
01:46:36,119 --> 01:46:36,880
our Cuban.

2202
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:40,279
Speaker 3: And they're not the country of Cuba.

2203
01:46:41,079 --> 01:46:41,239
Speaker 10: No.

2204
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:42,319
Speaker 3: And they have.

2205
01:46:42,399 --> 01:46:45,439
Speaker 4: Never hidden the fact they want to see casino gambling

2206
01:46:45,479 --> 01:46:47,680
come into play, and they would like to build a

2207
01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:53,600
superplex with an arena and several high end casinos for

2208
01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:57,359
the Dumont family, and you and I would be on

2209
01:46:57,560 --> 01:46:59,279
would be an agreement that we need casino.

2210
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,399
Speaker 3: Gambling and tech taking trips to Dallas quite frequently. And finally,

2211
01:47:02,399 --> 01:47:04,560
give me a reason and I have no reason to

2212
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,000
go to Dallas unless it's the State Fair, and it's

2213
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:07,720
owe you Texas.

2214
01:47:08,319 --> 01:47:08,520
Speaker 5: Well.

2215
01:47:08,560 --> 01:47:10,359
Speaker 4: Put it this way, if they get casinos in Dallas

2216
01:47:10,439 --> 01:47:12,159
or geting casinos in Houston, I mean, we're either that

2217
01:47:12,600 --> 01:47:14,640
Galas or whatever the case, go check it out.

2218
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:17,159
Speaker 5: I mean, every wants to build the first, but at

2219
01:47:17,159 --> 01:47:18,359
this point they cannot do that.

2220
01:47:20,039 --> 01:47:23,840
Speaker 4: So Clay Clay Cole, who filled in for you a

2221
01:47:23,840 --> 01:47:27,319
couple hours last week, was like, he thinks this is

2222
01:47:27,359 --> 01:47:31,079
a grand master plan that if the Mavericks, if the

2223
01:47:31,199 --> 01:47:37,279
Dumont family cannot get casino gambling in Texas, that they're

2224
01:47:37,279 --> 01:47:39,239
trying to wiggle the way out of the lease in

2225
01:47:39,359 --> 01:47:41,720
Dallas to move the Mavericks to Las Vegas.

2226
01:47:42,159 --> 01:47:46,199
Speaker 5: M And I said that is.

2227
01:47:46,399 --> 01:47:53,399
Speaker 4: Completely preposterous and ridiculous. And I said, the NBA is

2228
01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:56,000
not going to allow the city of Dallas not to

2229
01:47:56,000 --> 01:47:56,760
have an NBA team.

2230
01:47:56,800 --> 01:47:58,319
Speaker 5: It's too pick of a media market.

2231
01:47:58,880 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 4: And when you are looking to get eyeballs on these

2232
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:05,520
brand new television deals. You need the Dallas market as

2233
01:48:05,560 --> 01:48:08,439
part of it. And his answer back to me was, well,

2234
01:48:09,039 --> 01:48:11,680
you're right about that. The Dallas will get an expansion team,

2235
01:48:12,279 --> 01:48:16,000
but this is a grand master plan by the Mavericks

2236
01:48:16,039 --> 01:48:17,520
ownership group to try to.

2237
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:19,119
Speaker 5: Move the team to Dallas. And I thought that was

2238
01:48:19,199 --> 01:48:20,079
patently absurd.

2239
01:48:20,840 --> 01:48:22,840
Speaker 3: So okay, I didn't know they were there. The Las

2240
01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:28,359
Vegas Sands people, that's like Venetian Palazzo and some other stuff.

2241
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:30,439
They do very well. And like I said, the Las

2242
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:32,960
Vegas Sands doing all right, I guess the cash.

2243
01:48:32,920 --> 01:48:35,199
Speaker 5: They want to build that for Dallas.

2244
01:48:36,279 --> 01:48:38,800
Speaker 3: Like a lot of folks, I would presume that Tillman

2245
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:42,479
would do the exact same thing in Texas, whether it

2246
01:48:42,520 --> 01:48:43,640
be San Antonio, Austin, Hugh.

2247
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:45,800
Speaker 4: I mean again, if we get casino gambling in Texas,

2248
01:48:46,199 --> 01:48:49,640
they're gonna pop up everywhere. Santorni. You don't think San

2249
01:48:49,640 --> 01:48:53,399
Antonio wouldn't build a casino tomorrow. Austin would't build it

2250
01:48:53,439 --> 01:48:57,039
with a population growth there, Houston wouldn't do it, Galason wouldn't.

2251
01:48:57,039 --> 01:48:59,520
I mean, they would be sprotting up, especially with all

2252
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:01,479
the money that we think about the money that is

2253
01:49:01,520 --> 01:49:05,520
spent in Shreeport and in Lake Charles alone by us.

2254
01:49:06,079 --> 01:49:06,720
Speaker 3: It's crazy.

2255
01:49:08,720 --> 01:49:11,439
Speaker 5: Oh chuck top with Oklahoma border. Same thing.

2256
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:12,079
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2257
01:49:12,840 --> 01:49:15,640
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, they they sold the Venetian Palazzos.

2258
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:17,439
Never mind, but they still own a bunch of casinos.

2259
01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:19,800
Speaker 5: But they're in there. They're in the casino business.

2260
01:49:20,039 --> 01:49:22,079
Speaker 3: And looks like all the ones they own are Macaw

2261
01:49:22,159 --> 01:49:22,920
and Singapore.

2262
01:49:24,119 --> 01:49:26,840
Speaker 4: The name of the group is owned by Mirian Adelson

2263
01:49:26,880 --> 01:49:28,880
and her son in law, Patrick Dumont. Dumont's the one

2264
01:49:28,880 --> 01:49:31,199
that runs the Mavericks. He's the one that got Nico Harrison.

2265
01:49:31,199 --> 01:49:32,119
He fired Nico Harrison.

2266
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:36,119
Speaker 5: So what did Cole Thompson do?

2267
01:49:37,239 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 4: He had he added me At the CBS news report

2268
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:43,640
of Dallas, it said that there is an office for

2269
01:49:43,680 --> 01:49:46,079
the Dallas Mavericks in Las Vegas, Nevada right now.

2270
01:49:46,279 --> 01:49:48,199
Speaker 5: So he has he's got a little scoreboard on me.

2271
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,640
It hasn't happened yet. I'm gonna still stand by what

2272
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:53,000
I say.

2273
01:49:53,119 --> 01:49:55,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, if the owners in Vegas and that's just where

2274
01:49:55,159 --> 01:49:56,880
they listed their headquarters.

2275
01:49:57,079 --> 01:50:02,439
Speaker 4: Yes, I I still ROSSI can't imagine now. I do

2276
01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:05,359
believe the NBA will go to Las Vegas, but I

2277
01:50:05,439 --> 01:50:09,880
can't imagine them uplifting and moving the Dallas Mavericks as

2278
01:50:09,880 --> 01:50:13,000
a group to Las Vegas because they're getting sideways with

2279
01:50:13,039 --> 01:50:15,640
the Dallas Stars who control the lease at American Airlines Center.

2280
01:50:18,279 --> 01:50:19,800
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. But like you said, it's a

2281
01:50:19,840 --> 01:50:22,399
huge market, there is some history there, they have a good,

2282
01:50:22,399 --> 01:50:25,479
pretty good fan base. I don't think it's gonna happen.

2283
01:50:27,840 --> 01:50:31,039
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, So I don't know when the least of

2284
01:50:31,079 --> 01:50:33,920
the Mavericks goes is done with. But the fact is

2285
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:35,920
they're just arguing about it now, so obviously it's gotta

2286
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:37,359
be within the next handful of years. I just thought

2287
01:50:37,399 --> 01:50:40,640
it was interesting that Cole Thompson wanted to make sure

2288
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:43,720
he got something right. Imagine me Ross Ever going to

2289
01:50:43,760 --> 01:50:46,359
you on your Twitter and finding something that I was

2290
01:50:46,439 --> 01:50:47,880
right about and then tweeting at you.

2291
01:50:48,119 --> 01:50:49,640
Speaker 3: Is that terrible? I think you've done that.

2292
01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:50,880
Speaker 2: Well.

2293
01:50:51,039 --> 01:50:52,920
Speaker 3: You don't do that often because usually I'm right when

2294
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:54,920
we argue, but you've done before.

2295
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

2296
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:05,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, man, this the I never thought

2297
01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:08,239
in my life we would be talking about it much

2298
01:51:08,239 --> 01:51:11,239
about as much money as we have. And look, we're

2299
01:51:11,239 --> 01:51:11,560
not in.

2300
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 4: The hot sizzle of the playoffs. We still got regular

2301
01:51:15,439 --> 01:51:18,479
season games left the college basketball seasons early, b NBA

2302
01:51:18,520 --> 01:51:20,560
seasons early, so you're we're gonna.

2303
01:51:20,319 --> 01:51:21,520
Speaker 5: Have a little bit more time, and we're doing a

2304
01:51:21,560 --> 01:51:23,039
four hour show, so we're looking to.

2305
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:25,920
Speaker 3: Expand we just can't continue to break down the bills

2306
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:26,680
runs defense.

2307
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:27,600
Speaker 5: That's boring as hell.

2308
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:29,560
Speaker 3: It just feels like and I don't know if I'm

2309
01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:31,960
just misremembering or what, but don't you it feels like

2310
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:36,479
we talk about money and monetary issues, you know, with

2311
01:51:36,680 --> 01:51:42,079
nil and college and contracts and uh a private It

2312
01:51:42,119 --> 01:51:46,000
feels like more and more and more when it's always

2313
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,039
all these leagues have always been about money ever since

2314
01:51:48,079 --> 01:51:50,079
the inception of them and like the early nineteen hundreds

2315
01:51:50,159 --> 01:51:52,640
or whatever. But it just feels like more and more

2316
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:56,439
and more. It's everything is more in our face about

2317
01:51:56,479 --> 01:51:59,159
money and revenues and pushing revenues and finding I mean

2318
01:51:59,199 --> 01:52:01,760
we were talking about with the NBA and finding the

2319
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:05,560
Cavaliers and this Amazon Prime video and all everything is

2320
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,079
all it all comes down to money.

2321
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:12,720
Speaker 4: And while we could be disgusted by it, we still

2322
01:52:12,760 --> 01:52:13,840
watch it. We still love it.

2323
01:52:14,279 --> 01:52:14,479
Speaker 6: Yep.

2324
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:16,880
Speaker 3: There were two SEC games on this past weekend and

2325
01:52:16,920 --> 01:52:20,640
had over ten ten viewers. Yeah, didn't seem to care

2326
01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:22,640
about nil then mm hmmm.

2327
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:25,840
Speaker 5: And tonight when I'm in.

2328
01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:30,199
Speaker 4: The Bockett Arena calling the Rockets Cavaliers game, I'm gonna

2329
01:52:30,199 --> 01:52:30,880

2330

01:52:53,319 --> 01:52:56,720
Speaker 5: Be a little bit more. I mean there, I think

2338
01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:59,279
there's a disenfranchisement. Is that a whord? I just made

2339
01:52:59,279 --> 01:52:59,439

2340
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:00,520

01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:07,159
Speaker 4: Are little by little disillusioned, disillusioned because I'll tell you this.

2343
01:53:07,960 --> 01:53:10,159
I was at breakfast today with some great friends of

2344
01:53:10,159 --> 01:53:13,920
our uh and we were talking about how we left

2345
01:53:13,920 --> 01:53:15,960
the NBA. But it's painly asked to figure out what

2346
01:53:16,079 --> 01:53:19,000
the games are on what channel? And so what people

2347
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,000
are gonna do is they're gonna say, okay, it's a randos,

2348
01:53:21,239 --> 01:53:23,960

2350
01:53:26,079 --> 01:53:27,439
in bed or on the couch.

2351
01:53:28,399 --> 01:53:30,520
Speaker 3: You don't want to spend ten minutes looking for the game. Ye,

Speaker 8: Uh.

2401
01:55:30,039 --> 01:55:32,520
Speaker 3: Seeing the Mavericks are moving to Vegas, now that's stones.

2402
01:55:32,560 --> 01:55:34,520
Speaker 5: Maybe I'm not saying that.

2403
01:55:35,159 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 3: How about this?

2404
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:38,199
Speaker 4: You know what a sports touch says something, What if

2405
01:55:38,239 --> 01:55:40,960
the NBA forced the Mavericks to the Dow Moont family

2406
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:41,600
to sell the Mavericks.

2407
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:44,279
Speaker 3: You could do that, can you? Why why would they

2408
01:55:44,319 --> 01:55:45,399
force them out and.

2409
01:55:45,439 --> 01:55:47,279
Speaker 4: Then tell the DeMont you can have your arena in Vegas.

2410
01:55:47,319 --> 01:55:51,319
You can have your team in Vegas. I got news

2411
01:55:51,319 --> 01:55:53,079
for you too, Russia, You're nothing. I think that the

2412
01:55:53,079 --> 01:55:56,239
general public cares about this, But real quick, that team

2413
01:55:56,279 --> 01:55:58,479
Mobile arena where the NBA plays their games and you know,

2414
01:55:58,479 --> 01:56:01,439
other college games, it ain't. It ain't good enough for

2415
01:56:01,479 --> 01:56:01,880
the NBA.

2416
01:56:02,239 --> 01:56:02,960
Speaker 3: It's not Why not?

2417
01:56:03,680 --> 01:56:05,079
Speaker 5: It's just not fancy enough.

2418
01:56:05,359 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was recently built.

2419
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:11,960
Speaker 5: Yep, and things get recently built and get recently changed

2420
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:12,520
or right.

2421
01:56:12,399 --> 01:56:17,159
Speaker 3: Away man opening in twenty sixteen. It's a dump, not

2422
01:56:17,279 --> 01:56:17,720
a dump.

2423
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:19,239
Speaker 4: It just doesn't have the bells and whistles that you

2424
01:56:19,279 --> 01:56:25,880
would think in a Las Vegas arena. Winnow, okay, just

2425
01:56:25,920 --> 01:56:30,159
throwing it out there. Seven one three two one two

2426
01:56:30,359 --> 01:56:33,640
five seven nineties seven one three two one two five s.

2427
01:56:34,000 --> 01:56:37,520
You see what Davis Mills said yesterday about uh Titus Howard?

2428
01:56:38,239 --> 01:56:40,319
Speaker 3: What did he say about Titus Howard?

2429
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 5: I don't know we have the audio or not?

2430
01:56:41,720 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 3: Would we? I had no idylex. Get this, okay, I

2431
01:56:44,640 --> 01:56:48,560
don't know. He says it. Titus Howard played quarterback in

2432
01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:51,159
high school and that he could throw a ball sixty

2433
01:56:51,239 --> 01:56:54,960
to seventy yards in the air to this day. Really, yes,

2434
01:56:56,720 --> 01:57:04,760
that's awesome. Okay, I'm highly intrigued by this. I mean

2435
01:57:05,199 --> 01:57:07,880
highly intrigued by this. What do you think is he?

2436
01:57:08,000 --> 01:57:11,279
Is he the emergency quarterback? That would be amazing. Run

2437
01:57:11,319 --> 01:57:13,039
some wildcat with him too.

2438
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,079
Speaker 5: What is his weight and height?

2439
01:57:15,840 --> 01:57:22,720
Speaker 3: Look at six foot five three two pounds? Who you

2440
01:57:22,760 --> 01:57:23,279
can't go?

2441
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:25,640
Speaker 5: You can make him tackle eligible?

2442
01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:29,439
Speaker 3: Yo. He ran a five second forty. That's not bad.

2443
01:57:29,760 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 5: That's not bad for a guy.

2444
01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:33,359
Speaker 3: His sign was also six years ago. I don't know

2445
01:57:33,399 --> 01:57:35,840
if he's running that today. But okay, so.

2446
01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:36,279
Speaker 5: Let's put this.

2447
01:57:36,359 --> 01:57:41,920
Speaker 3: Let's make him an extra, make him tackle eligible. You

2448
01:57:43,079 --> 01:57:46,239
send him on an end around, end around all right?

2449
01:57:46,920 --> 01:57:47,439
Speaker 5: Listen, listen.

2450
01:57:47,600 --> 01:57:49,960
Speaker 3: You need to get him downhill. You gotta get him.

2451
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:52,600
You gotta get his motor turned on. So he's running

2452
01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:55,720
and that's yeah. You don't need him east to west

2453
01:57:56,079 --> 01:57:58,039
for a little bit, you do. No, you don't you

2454
01:57:58,079 --> 01:58:01,319
need him downhill, Matthew formation, let's go.

2455
01:58:02,640 --> 01:58:04,199
Speaker 5: Okay, So let's put this in perspective.

2456
01:58:04,199 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 3: Then how do you do this?

2457
01:58:05,199 --> 01:58:07,119
Speaker 4: If I'm gonna use Titus Howard in a pass play

2458
01:58:07,159 --> 01:58:11,319
this week or any week, he's gotta line up as

2459
01:58:11,319 --> 01:58:11,920
a full.

2460
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:17,039
Speaker 3: Back maybe, and you put him in the you put

2461
01:58:17,079 --> 01:58:23,479
c shotgun pistol formation. Yes, you hand the ball to

2462
01:58:23,680 --> 01:58:25,640
Titus and you go, oh, look, he's gonna get at

2463
01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:27,159
the third and one, he's gonna get that half one

2464
01:58:27,239 --> 01:58:31,600
yard for the first to wait a minute, he's rolling around. See,

2465
01:58:31,640 --> 01:58:33,960
you can't put him in a uh straight position. He's

2466
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:35,960
gonna have to he's got the rare back. If he's

2467
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:38,000
gonna throw the ball seventy yards, he's gonna need a

2468
01:58:38,039 --> 01:58:40,920
few steps. Yeah, he's gonna need a flee flicker situation.

2469
01:58:42,399 --> 01:58:44,279
You gotta get there. You go asking him to no

2470
01:58:44,520 --> 01:58:47,960
generation you want to I want him to roll You

2471
01:58:48,000 --> 01:58:48,680
wanted to go on.

2472
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:50,359
Speaker 5: A flee flicker. That's not gonna happen.

2473
01:58:50,399 --> 01:58:53,079
Speaker 3: He's not gonna roll out. Well, the the receiver's gonna

2474
01:58:53,079 --> 01:58:57,279
get downfield. You want him If you want him to

2475
01:58:57,279 --> 01:58:59,680
throw seventy yard bombs, you gotta let the play develop.

2476
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:03,880
I thought you were just trying to get a little

2477
01:59:03,920 --> 01:59:06,359
jump past to the tight end. No, no, no, no, I

2478
01:59:06,399 --> 01:59:08,520
wanted to air it out.

2479
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,239
Speaker 4: Biggest arm of the team. Well we know biggest neck.

2480
01:59:11,279 --> 01:59:13,159
Who's got the biggest arm?

2481
01:59:13,479 --> 01:59:19,840
Speaker 3: The biggest what neck? Okay? Oh? Can you epit that one? No?

2482
01:59:20,880 --> 01:59:22,640
I didn't hear it. What do you I didn't hear you,

2483
01:59:22,680 --> 01:59:24,000
so they is probably to hear you either.

2484
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 4: You don't think that Davis Mills is the biggest neck

2485
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:34,520
on the team.

2486
01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:35,359
Speaker 5: N E c K.

2489
01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:46,000
don't want you. What's going through your warped mind? Speaking

2490
01:59:46,039 --> 01:59:47,000
of a warped mind?

Speaker 5: George?

2494
01:59:58,399 --> 02:00:01,000
Speaker 3: Did you try his phone? It's only a swimming in

2495
02:00:01,039 --> 02:00:02,840
the sink. That sounds like a horse eating an apple.

2496
02:00:03,600 --> 02:00:06,840
Speaker 10: He's okay?

2497
02:00:06,960 --> 02:00:12,960
Speaker 3: Is he searching for his phone right now? Is he okay? George?

Speaker 3: Well, you'll get nothing in like it, and we'll ask

2514
02:00:58,760 --> 02:00:59,960
you more or more hours.

2515
02:01:00,239 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 5: No, forget it. I'm not gonna give you that.

2516
02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:03,520
Speaker 3: Hey, let me ask you.

2517
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,039
Speaker 5: Are you from Buffalo? Where are you originally from.

2518
02:01:05,960 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 6: Mask, Syracuse? Two hours outside of Buffalo.

2519
02:01:09,880 --> 02:01:12,000
Speaker 4: Okay, so you grew up a Bills fan, I'm assuming,

2520
02:01:12,079 --> 02:01:13,720
or at least like somebody that watched the Bills as

2521
02:01:13,720 --> 02:01:14,760
a young child.

2522
02:01:15,359 --> 02:01:16,880
Speaker 6: I grew up a New York Giants fan.

2523
02:01:16,920 --> 02:01:19,920
Speaker 15: Which is one of the awkward things about being a

2524
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:22,359
Bills fan and covering the Bills now, is that the

2525
02:01:22,399 --> 02:01:25,159
most horrible moment in Bill's franchise history was losing to

2526
02:01:25,199 --> 02:01:28,359
the Giants that I was twelve, and because I love

2527
02:01:28,439 --> 02:01:31,039
the Giants, So the reason why I asked to complete

2528
02:01:31,039 --> 02:01:32,159
with Bills fans about that.

2529
02:01:32,600 --> 02:01:34,640
Speaker 4: I understand the reason why I'm asking, because I want

2530
02:01:34,680 --> 02:01:38,039
you to give We were talking about this yesterday on

2531
02:01:38,079 --> 02:01:39,840
the show before we get to the game itself. We

2532
02:01:39,920 --> 02:01:43,520
believe the three most rabbid fan bases in the NFL,

2533
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:45,600
not that there are not twenty of them, but the

2534
02:01:45,720 --> 02:01:52,720
three most rabbit Green Bay, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. So I

2535
02:01:52,840 --> 02:01:55,279
want you to explain to our audience in Houston. We've

2536
02:01:55,279 --> 02:01:58,640
got Cowboy fans here, We've got Texans fans here, we

2537
02:01:58,760 --> 02:01:59,920
have Saints fans.

2538
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,079
Speaker 5: Here, We've got fans of everybody.

2539
02:02:01,479 --> 02:02:06,159
Speaker 3: What separates the Buffalo Bill Bill's mafia as compared to say,

2540
02:02:06,199 --> 02:02:08,720
the rest of the NFL fan base. And please don't

2541
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:10,159
feel free to in Belloy.

2542
02:02:10,359 --> 02:02:15,159
Speaker 15: Sure, sure, there's a lot of factors. I think you've

2543
02:02:15,239 --> 02:02:17,800
got in the present day. What you have is a

2544
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:21,439
team that is good and a fan base that waited

2545
02:02:21,479 --> 02:02:24,880
almost twenty years to be good. The seventeen year playoffs

2546
02:02:24,960 --> 02:02:29,319
route that was from nineteen ninety nine to twenty seventeen.

2547
02:02:29,479 --> 02:02:33,199
Like that was, we were an NFL team and we

2548
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:36,399
were threatened by the idea that the team would move

2549
02:02:36,479 --> 02:02:39,520
because the owner was not you know, didn't have a

2550
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:40,720
succession plan in place.

2551
02:02:40,760 --> 02:02:44,399
Speaker 6: So basically have a fan base that was built nervous

2552
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:45,399
and bad.

2553
02:02:46,159 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 15: This is generation and now they're very solidly here and

2554
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:52,079
we get a brand new stadium next year, and the

2555
02:02:52,159 --> 02:02:54,319
quarterback is the best in football or one of the

2556
02:02:54,359 --> 02:02:57,000
best in football, and they win the division all the time.

2557
02:02:57,119 --> 02:03:00,479
So you have a fan base that is basically into

2558
02:03:00,600 --> 02:03:03,840
every walk of life, every age, every kind of person.

2559
02:03:04,439 --> 02:03:05,600
Speaker 6: The town shuts down.

2560
02:03:05,640 --> 02:03:07,359
Speaker 15: Every player of the place here says it's like a

2561
02:03:07,359 --> 02:03:11,720
college atmosphere, and I think that's probably right. The tailgating

2562
02:03:11,760 --> 02:03:14,000
is amazing. It's just a stadium out in the middle

2563
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:16,479
of a bunch of parking lots. Everybody has their traditions.

2564
02:03:16,800 --> 02:03:19,680
I like to say that basically every single game day

2565
02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:23,319
is like Thanksgiving for me because my entire family is there.

2566
02:03:23,640 --> 02:03:25,960
Everybody's at the game. Who's gonna watch the kids? I

2567
02:03:25,960 --> 02:03:29,079
don't know, because everybody's at the game. Wow, So the

2568
02:03:29,119 --> 02:03:32,600
town shuts down, Yeah, Like it's it's absolutely a way

2569
02:03:32,600 --> 02:03:35,319
of life. I don't know people that don't watch the Bills.

2570
02:03:35,359 --> 02:03:37,640
I don't know a single person that doesn't have at least,

2571
02:03:37,960 --> 02:03:40,239
you know, even if it's just three hours on Sunday,

2572
02:03:40,560 --> 02:03:43,960
never mind fully invested in draft picks and trades and

2573
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:44,439
this and that.

2574
02:03:44,560 --> 02:03:48,159
Speaker 6: So it's a one hundred percent away of life. And yeah, yeah, so.

2575
02:03:48,159 --> 02:03:50,840
Speaker 15: That's like this generation and before that, like you know,

2576
02:03:50,880 --> 02:03:52,520
it's it's it's the game in town.

2577
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:52,960
Speaker 6: It's the Bills.

2578
02:03:53,000 --> 02:03:54,399
Speaker 15: We have a hockey team too, it's a very big

2579
02:03:54,439 --> 02:03:57,359
hockey town, but they're also terrible and stuck in their

2580
02:03:57,359 --> 02:04:00,119
own route. So everybody's just really looking at the Bill

2581
02:04:00,600 --> 02:04:04,199
to finally deliver a super Bowl. You finally have this

2582
02:04:04,319 --> 02:04:07,800
generation able to bond with their parents' generation which went

2583
02:04:07,880 --> 02:04:10,119
up four super Bowls and understand what that's like. So

2584
02:04:10,199 --> 02:04:14,600
now everybody wants it, and it's very close by. So yeah,

2585
02:04:14,680 --> 02:04:16,880
it's twenty four hours a day each sleep builds.

2586
02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:19,479
Speaker 4: All right, last question before we get to the game itself.

2587
02:04:19,840 --> 02:04:22,800
The new stadium has is open air. It sounds like

2588
02:04:22,840 --> 02:04:24,800
to me that the dome wasn't even considered. Is that

2589
02:04:24,840 --> 02:04:27,039
accurate or was there consideration of putting a roof on it?

2590
02:04:28,119 --> 02:04:31,159
Speaker 6: I think there was consideration. My biggest thing on that

2591
02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:32,640
I switched.

2592
02:04:32,680 --> 02:04:34,520
Speaker 15: I used to think that we should build a dome

2593
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:38,079
out this way, and you know, let's center the twenty

2594
02:04:38,079 --> 02:04:38,760
first century.

2595
02:04:38,800 --> 02:04:40,359
Speaker 6: But then I changed my mind.

2596
02:04:40,399 --> 02:04:42,840
Speaker 15: When the Bills beat the Patriots forty seven to seventeen

2597
02:04:42,840 --> 02:04:44,279
in the playoffs a couple of years ago, and it

2598
02:04:44,279 --> 02:04:48,000
was negative eight. I slowly began to realize that half

2599
02:04:48,039 --> 02:04:48,600
the reason we.

2600
02:04:48,640 --> 02:04:50,800
Speaker 6: Remember those games and have an identity at all is

2601
02:04:50,800 --> 02:04:53,920
because they're outside. So, yeah, I slipped.

2602
02:04:54,239 --> 02:04:57,039
Speaker 15: Was it considered? Sure, they did studies and all that.

2603
02:04:57,439 --> 02:04:59,079
My biggest thing on the Dome was it was going

2604
02:04:59,119 --> 02:05:01,800
to cost twice as monch much. And I think the

2605
02:05:01,880 --> 02:05:05,039
state and the county and the owner wanted to get

2606
02:05:05,119 --> 02:05:05,880
something done.

2607
02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:07,439
Speaker 6: Get in. Let's let's get.

2608
02:05:07,239 --> 02:05:10,159
Speaker 15: Something that won't be the biggest problem. And they got

2609
02:05:10,199 --> 02:05:13,840
a closed stadium. It's fully enclosed, there's a hole in

2610
02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:16,279
the roof. There's a canopy over sixty five percent of

2611
02:05:16,319 --> 02:05:19,119
the seats, so lots of people will be covered. The

2612
02:05:19,199 --> 02:05:22,479
field won't be the concourses will be warmed and heated.

2613
02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:26,079
And they think it's gonna be a fully enclosed stadium

2614
02:05:26,079 --> 02:05:29,720
that is susceptible to the elements. But it's just gonna

2615
02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:32,359
be such a different experience than the current stadium, which

2616
02:05:32,439 --> 02:05:35,880
is wide open and the concourses are freezing. I feel

2617
02:05:35,880 --> 02:05:37,880
like people are gonna think they're in a dome, even

2618
02:05:37,920 --> 02:05:41,000
though it's not so. I'm quite happy that we will

2619
02:05:41,039 --> 02:05:43,439
remain open air. It's Buffalo. It's supposed to be played.

2620
02:05:43,439 --> 02:05:45,760
Football is supposed to be played outside. We've got our

2621
02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:47,680
share of people that wish it was closed, but I

2622
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:48,479
don't have time for them.

2623
02:05:48,520 --> 02:05:49,319
Speaker 6: I'm not listening to that.

2624
02:05:50,359 --> 02:05:54,600
Speaker 15: White soft right Cleveland. Cleveland's going to a dome. Absolute mistake,

2625
02:05:54,800 --> 02:05:58,319
What a disaster. We've got these scenes in the Northeast

2626
02:05:58,359 --> 02:05:58,960
that live like this.

2627
02:05:59,039 --> 02:05:59,920
Speaker 6: We're supposed to live like that.

2628
02:06:01,039 --> 02:06:03,279
Speaker 3: I'm in Cleveland right now. I'm gonna be all for

2629
02:06:03,319 --> 02:06:04,479
the dome stadium. That's just me.

2630
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:06,640
Speaker 4: We know what we're soft in Texas. I'm just gonna

2631
02:06:06,680 --> 02:06:09,079
be flat out honest with you. Jeremy White joining us

2632
02:06:09,640 --> 02:06:13,880
w g R Radio in Buffalo. All right, you went

2633
02:06:13,920 --> 02:06:16,960
on Dan's show this morning and said that you fully

2634
02:06:17,000 --> 02:06:20,640
expect a Texans running back to rush for one hundred yards.

2635
02:06:21,439 --> 02:06:25,079
Speaker 3: I know why you said it, but are you do

2636
02:06:25,119 --> 02:06:26,039
you really believe that?

2637
02:06:26,279 --> 02:06:28,359
Speaker 5: Is the Bills run defense that atrocious?

2638
02:06:30,039 --> 02:06:32,760
Speaker 3: It's really bad. Now, I don't know.

2639
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:34,479
Speaker 15: I don't know if I said word for word, he'll

2640
02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:36,880
run for one hundred I said, what's his career high.

2641
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:39,520
I wouldn't put it past him to get it. Now,

2642
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:41,479
the game script's gonna have to be that way. But

2643
02:06:41,479 --> 02:06:44,039
if you get that, whoever you get twenty carries, I

2644
02:06:44,079 --> 02:06:46,520
mean you'll get your You'll you'll make money. Run on

2645
02:06:46,560 --> 02:06:49,239
the ball against this Bill's defense. If you don't, then

2646
02:06:49,279 --> 02:06:51,920
you really do have problems running the football. The Boks

2647
02:06:51,960 --> 02:06:53,840
are down to their third string back. Last week, he

2648
02:06:53,920 --> 02:06:56,880
runs for two hundred yards. Right, it doesn't matter who

2649
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,239
goes in, it's Derek Henry. He's gonna rip off some yards.

2650
02:06:59,279 --> 02:07:03,439
It's gonna be the Saints ran, Devin a Han ran,

2651
02:07:03,760 --> 02:07:06,840
everybody Bjon Robinson ran on this team. Everybody runs on

2652
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:09,199
the Bills. The problem is, I think when you're playing

2653
02:07:09,199 --> 02:07:12,039
the Bills is that this is my opinion here, they

2654
02:07:12,039 --> 02:07:13,960
do want you to run. They invite you to run.

2655
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:17,439
Their entire defensive philosophy, the entire Sean McDermott era has

2656
02:07:17,479 --> 02:07:19,680
been we're going to stop the pass and we're going

2657
02:07:19,760 --> 02:07:20,880
to invite the run.

2658
02:07:21,239 --> 02:07:22,800
Speaker 6: Sometimes that means they get run on.

2659
02:07:23,119 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 15: This year, I think it means they get run on

2660
02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:27,359
even more because they just don't really have the bodies.

2661
02:07:27,359 --> 02:07:31,039
They're missing important pieces. They're young, draft picks. Some of

2662
02:07:31,039 --> 02:07:32,600
them are ready to play, some of them are not

2663
02:07:32,720 --> 02:07:35,560
quite ready to play. So it's a work in progress

2664
02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:39,439
kind of overhauling this defense from a veteran Leaden group

2665
02:07:39,479 --> 02:07:41,239
from a couple of years back to what they are now.

2666
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:43,399
Speaker 6: So, yeah, most teams can run on them.

2667
02:07:43,479 --> 02:07:45,199
Speaker 15: And if you want to try and run the ball,

2668
02:07:45,279 --> 02:07:46,800
this is as good a team to try it against

2669
02:07:46,800 --> 02:07:47,199
as any.

2670
02:07:47,840 --> 02:07:51,640
Speaker 4: All Right, there have been storylines about this game, and

2671
02:07:51,680 --> 02:07:53,720
one of them is that Josh Allen is not like

2672
02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:57,199
playing the Texans. Has that been much of a storyline

2673
02:07:57,319 --> 02:08:00,239
up there as the Bills? It feels like to me

2674
02:08:00,279 --> 02:08:02,000
and correct me if I'm wrong, are they Jackal and

2675
02:08:02,079 --> 02:08:04,960
Hyde in Orchard Park? They're amazing and they're very mid

2676
02:08:05,319 --> 02:08:07,359
outside of upstate New York.

2677
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:11,319
Speaker 15: I don't think that's the case this year. That's not

2678
02:08:11,359 --> 02:08:14,279
really been the case in the Josh Allen era. They

2679
02:08:14,319 --> 02:08:16,319
do have a couple of losses on the road this

2680
02:08:16,399 --> 02:08:20,359
year to Miami and Atlanta. They've had some offensive identity issues.

2681
02:08:20,399 --> 02:08:23,039
That's really really what it's come down to, that trying

2682
02:08:23,039 --> 02:08:24,720
to figure out what they want to be. They are

2683
02:08:24,760 --> 02:08:27,520
a very good run team, and sometimes they stick with

2684
02:08:27,560 --> 02:08:30,039
that too much or sometimes they're too predictable. They were

2685
02:08:30,359 --> 02:08:32,279
heading into last week, they were the number one team

2686
02:08:32,399 --> 02:08:35,159
running on first down. And you know, plenty of people

2687
02:08:35,159 --> 02:08:38,920
around here think your quarterbacks is amazing. Why on earth

2688
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:42,079
would whoever be the run heaviest team on first down?

2689
02:08:42,079 --> 02:08:44,479
Why would you ever lean into the run instead of

2690
02:08:44,479 --> 02:08:46,199
the past. And the reason is they're good at it

2691
02:08:46,479 --> 02:08:47,119
and they want.

2692
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,960
Speaker 6: To be you know, they want they want to keep Josh.

2693
02:08:49,640 --> 02:08:54,840
Speaker 15: From doing Josh things. Josh Allen is the roller coaster rived.

2694
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:57,159
You and Houston have seen it. The playoff game from

2695
02:08:57,199 --> 02:09:00,920
twenty nineteen, that was the full young job Shallon experience

2696
02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:03,880
doing crazy stuff. He caught a touchdown pass, he threw

2697
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:06,399
a bomb to a fullback who was double covered. He

2698
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:10,840
lateraled the ball. I mean he at his best now

2699
02:09:11,119 --> 02:09:14,439
is a better version of that. He'll truck a linebacker,

2700
02:09:14,479 --> 02:09:17,319
he'll jump over a defensive back. He will throw on

2701
02:09:17,359 --> 02:09:20,520
the run, he will catch touchdowns. He is a one

2702
02:09:20,560 --> 02:09:22,920
man show. He's incredible, and I think the Bills feel

2703
02:09:22,960 --> 02:09:26,199
a little bit of a desire to rain him in

2704
02:09:26,239 --> 02:09:28,359
from time to time. The problem is up here. The

2705
02:09:28,399 --> 02:09:32,199
belief is that this season they got way too far

2706
02:09:32,359 --> 02:09:35,279
on raining him in, way too much this should not

2707
02:09:35,319 --> 02:09:36,319
be a run first team.

2708
02:09:36,439 --> 02:09:38,800
Speaker 6: It should not go as James Cook goes.

2709
02:09:39,079 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 15: So last week they kind of overhauled their receiving corps

2710
02:09:41,760 --> 02:09:43,319
after the deadline as best they could.

2711
02:09:43,560 --> 02:09:45,159
Speaker 6: They got Josh Palmer back healthy.

2712
02:09:45,640 --> 02:09:48,800
Speaker 15: They dressed Gabriel Davis, who had been on the practice

2713
02:09:48,800 --> 02:09:51,920
squad nursing an injury. They benched Kean Coleman for what

2714
02:09:51,920 --> 02:09:54,479
they said was a disciplinary issue, which is a separate thing,

2715
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:56,760
but they could have done that for performance, and we

2716
02:09:56,800 --> 02:10:00,000
all would have said that makes sense. So they looked differ,

2717
02:10:00,399 --> 02:10:02,840
they played different, and they got their best offensive out

2718
02:10:02,840 --> 02:10:04,560
against the season. And now we're kind of waiting to

2719
02:10:04,560 --> 02:10:07,239
see with this big test with the Texans and how

2720
02:10:07,239 --> 02:10:10,479
good that defense is if in fact, that offense the

2721
02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:12,840
way they played against the Bucks can can sling it

2722
02:10:12,840 --> 02:10:14,560
against the Texans, can sling it against some of the

2723
02:10:14,600 --> 02:10:17,039
best defenses in football, because the Bucks came into the

2724
02:10:17,079 --> 02:10:18,800
pretty good defense and didn't have any answers.

2725
02:10:19,319 --> 02:10:20,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, what was it? Forty four points?

2726
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:22,840
Speaker 4: Were you stunned by the amount of points that were

2727
02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:25,159
scored on both sides of the football last Sunday when

2728
02:10:25,199 --> 02:10:26,720
the Bills beat the Buccaneers.

2729
02:10:28,039 --> 02:10:29,000
Speaker 6: I was not that stunned.

2730
02:10:29,079 --> 02:10:30,680
Speaker 15: The biggest surprise to me was that it was a

2731
02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:35,000
very windy day, and during pregame the win is howling.

2732
02:10:35,159 --> 02:10:37,119
So you would have thought, all right, this is to be

2733
02:10:37,159 --> 02:10:39,159
the kind of game we've seen these in Buffalo where

2734
02:10:39,479 --> 02:10:41,199
nobody's going to be able to throw the ball. And

2735
02:10:41,199 --> 02:10:43,039
sure enough, they could both throw the ball, they could

2736
02:10:43,039 --> 02:10:44,640
throw the ball deep, they could throw it anywhere they

2737
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:45,000
wanted to do.

2738
02:10:45,079 --> 02:10:45,199
Speaker 6: So.

2739
02:10:45,920 --> 02:10:48,239
Speaker 15: You know, Baker and Josh, I think also have a

2740
02:10:48,239 --> 02:10:50,119
bit of a friendly rivalry between the two of them.

2741
02:10:50,279 --> 02:10:52,319
They played golf together, they joked about each other in

2742
02:10:52,359 --> 02:10:53,279
the press conference.

2743
02:10:53,119 --> 02:10:53,680
Speaker 6: Leading up to it.

2744
02:10:53,880 --> 02:10:55,199
Speaker 15: I kind of think they might have brought out the

2745
02:10:55,199 --> 02:10:57,000
best in each other in that day and that game

2746
02:10:57,039 --> 02:10:59,600
as well, because they both played really well. And I

2747
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:01,560
was only surprised in the points based on the weather.

2748
02:11:03,760 --> 02:11:06,760
Speaker 4: All right, So anybody that foddles the Buffalo Bills, or

2749
02:11:06,800 --> 02:11:08,960
at least from a fantasy perspective, knows that we're in

2750
02:11:09,000 --> 02:11:11,119
wrap things up here with just a second with Jeremy

2751
02:11:11,119 --> 02:11:15,000
White from WGR Radio in Buffalo. Look, Cook is no

2752
02:11:15,079 --> 02:11:17,640
surprise to anybody that owns fantasy, But for the average

2753
02:11:17,760 --> 02:11:19,880
NFL running back, he doesn't come top of mind.

2754
02:11:20,439 --> 02:11:21,720
Speaker 5: Can he buy himself?

2755
02:11:21,840 --> 02:11:24,920
Speaker 4: If Josh has an abnormal game, which he's not had

2756
02:11:24,960 --> 02:11:28,039
great games against Texans, can James Cook by himself beat

2757
02:11:28,079 --> 02:11:29,039
the Houston Texans.

2758
02:11:30,920 --> 02:11:31,239
Speaker 6: Baby?

2759
02:11:31,600 --> 02:11:33,880
Speaker 15: I mean Cook is they just signed him to a

2760
02:11:33,880 --> 02:11:38,880
contract extension and he's the first running back that the

2761
02:11:38,920 --> 02:11:41,520
Bills decided to really pony up the money for. And

2762
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:43,239
the thing I was pointing to when they were thinking,

2763
02:11:43,399 --> 02:11:44,960
when we were talking about should they do it or

2764
02:11:45,000 --> 02:11:47,479
not is that for the last two seasons, James Cook

2765
02:11:47,520 --> 02:11:50,439
has been a top ten running back in yards over

2766
02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:53,439
expected if use like next gen stats, like breaking tackles,

2767
02:11:53,479 --> 02:11:57,000
like making more from what he gets than anybody else.

2768
02:11:57,479 --> 02:11:59,760
Top ten the last two seasons. This year's number two.

2769
02:12:00,119 --> 02:12:02,720
He's behind only Jonathan Taylor. Like you look at the

2770
02:12:02,720 --> 02:12:04,399
top running backs in the league and the yards over

2771
02:12:04,479 --> 02:12:08,680
expected per attempt, it is Taylor, James Cook, Rico Dowdle's

2772
02:12:08,760 --> 02:12:12,800
up there, Javonte Williams. He'd had a really good season

2773
02:12:12,880 --> 02:12:15,199
last year, and you could separate it out from how

2774
02:12:15,239 --> 02:12:16,560
good the Bills offensive line.

2775
02:12:16,439 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 6: Is, which is very good.

2776
02:12:18,239 --> 02:12:19,760
Speaker 15: And the other thing the Bills did last year they

2777
02:12:19,920 --> 02:12:23,239
dressed a lot of sixth offensive lineman names Alec Anderson

2778
02:12:23,720 --> 02:12:26,119
instead of dressing him all the time. Now, they drafted

2779
02:12:26,119 --> 02:12:28,760
a fifth round tight end whose name is Jackson Hawes,

2780
02:12:29,199 --> 02:12:32,000
who they billed as the best blocking tight end they

2781
02:12:32,000 --> 02:12:34,520
have ever seen. And they throw him out there and

2782
02:12:34,560 --> 02:12:37,880
he blocks everyone's face off. So the Bills do have

2783
02:12:37,960 --> 02:12:41,079
the ability to kind of play bully ball and go

2784
02:12:41,199 --> 02:12:43,720
with James Cook if you can shut it down. Of course,

2785
02:12:44,159 --> 02:12:46,760
the belief is Josh Allen can do enough. But if

2786
02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:50,680
the passing game's not there, they have a kind of

2787
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:53,359
a pitch that they didn't have in Allen's first two

2788
02:12:53,439 --> 02:12:56,279
three four years, So Ken Cook win it himself. If

2789
02:12:56,319 --> 02:12:57,920
they just kind of grind it on the ground, I

2790
02:12:57,960 --> 02:13:00,199
want to say, yes, he's very good. Then they're line

2791
02:13:00,319 --> 02:13:02,960
is very good. And they got people that block their

2792
02:13:03,079 --> 02:13:04,760
receivers on the scene. The side ends on this scene,

2793
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:07,039
like everybody buys into the run game when it has

2794
02:13:07,079 --> 02:13:07,840
to go that direction.

2795
02:13:09,119 --> 02:13:11,039
Speaker 4: If you ever make it to Houston, Jeremy, we owe

2796
02:13:11,039 --> 02:13:12,800

Speaker 1: One?

2816
02:14:03,840 --> 02:14:05,560
Speaker 5: On the Matt Thomas Show with Ross, we got a

2817
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:07,439
little bit of a breaky.

2818
02:14:07,079 --> 02:14:08,319
Speaker 3: News on the show.

2819
02:14:10,920 --> 02:14:11,920
Speaker 11: That's one.

2820
02:14:12,640 --> 02:14:22,800
Speaker 3: That's it what the fine SEC teleconference? Steve Sarkisian no quote.

2821
02:14:24,680 --> 02:14:28,119
People reporting are insinuating that there is a possibility that

2822
02:14:28,119 --> 02:14:29,800
I could leave the University of Texas.

2823
02:14:29,840 --> 02:14:33,840
Speaker 4: That's absolutely false and untrue. I am not going anywhere.

2824
02:14:35,840 --> 02:14:37,880
Speaker 3: And then you talk about anyone making a bowel movement.

2825
02:14:40,279 --> 02:14:42,319
Speaker 5: I didn't make it more than one sounder.

2826
02:14:42,039 --> 02:14:48,960
Speaker 3: Okay hmm, unequivocally saying I'm not going anywhere. Coaches never

2827
02:14:49,039 --> 02:14:56,479
do that this week whatever, By the way, what I.

2828
02:14:57,239 --> 02:14:58,119
Speaker 5: You know what we don't?

2829
02:14:58,119 --> 02:14:58,279
Speaker 3: I know?

2830
02:14:58,319 --> 02:15:00,199
Speaker 4: Usually don't look at the television when I'm doing show

2831
02:15:00,199 --> 02:15:01,880
with you because you're with me. But I'm staring at

2832
02:15:01,880 --> 02:15:04,399
the television here now and so sport I put Sports

2833
02:15:04,399 --> 02:15:07,960
Center and I get the sports headlines. They're interviewing WWE

2834
02:15:08,119 --> 02:15:10,319
female wrestlers about their Big War.

2835
02:15:10,159 --> 02:15:11,279
Speaker 5: Games match coming up.

2836
02:15:12,039 --> 02:15:16,960
Speaker 3: I love wrestling. Ross wrestling is not a sport. This

2837
02:15:17,039 --> 02:15:21,840
is this is absurd. Well where is that event airing.

2838
02:15:23,359 --> 02:15:24,760
Speaker 5: On the ESPN Family Network?

2839
02:15:24,840 --> 02:15:25,279
Speaker 3: There we go.

2840
02:15:29,359 --> 02:15:30,720
Speaker 5: It's insulting to me.

2841
02:15:32,560 --> 02:15:34,960
Speaker 4: That they're again, if you want to have a fun

2842
02:15:35,159 --> 02:15:37,479
goofy like a morning show is type.

2843
02:15:37,279 --> 02:15:40,000
Speaker 5: Thing putting them on his fine, But this is the

2844
02:15:40,199 --> 02:15:40,760
name of the show.

2845
02:15:40,840 --> 02:15:46,720
Speaker 4: Is called Sports Center, and sports Center usually talks about sports,

2846
02:15:46,880 --> 02:15:48,039
not not this.

2847
02:15:48,920 --> 02:15:53,600

Big Rocket Sports.

Speaker 5: It's just weird.

2867
02:17:00,200 --> 02:17:05,639
Speaker 3: Next week tomorrow, Yeah, well, ESPN is gonna try to

2868
02:17:06,280 --> 02:17:07,959
pimp their event they've got going on.

2869
02:17:10,280 --> 02:17:15,040
Speaker 4: That's that's already got the outcome written down somewhere. Yes,

2870
02:17:17,520 --> 02:17:20,120
remember I do remember I do like wrestling. It's a

2871
02:17:20,239 --> 02:17:21,559
it's a character flaw of mine.

2872
02:17:21,600 --> 02:17:23,600
Speaker 3: I get it. But I wouldn't put on a sports center.

2873
02:17:25,239 --> 02:17:27,479
Speaker 4: All right, Uh so we okay, Now that Sarka is

2874
02:17:27,479 --> 02:17:29,000
going to stay at the University of Texas, and.

2875
02:17:29,280 --> 02:17:31,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if he is. If he isn't, it's

2876
02:17:31,120 --> 02:17:33,840
out of my Contentsman Howard report the other day, was

2877
02:17:34,479 --> 02:17:35,079
you roneous?

2878
02:17:35,120 --> 02:17:37,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, I'm more offended by Desmond Howard's

2879
02:17:37,360 --> 02:17:39,319
uh hat that I was about his take?

2880
02:17:41,040 --> 02:17:43,280
Speaker 3: Why his bucket hat, his Michigan bucket hat. What's wrong

2881
02:17:43,319 --> 02:17:43,399
with that?

2882
02:17:43,440 --> 02:17:45,360
Speaker 4: Apparently he was going fishing before you want to drop

2883
02:17:45,399 --> 02:17:48,440
the little nugget on people, mutual and mutual party of

2884
02:17:48,479 --> 02:17:55,399
the ways, and what's wrong with that? Well, if he's right,

2885
02:17:55,479 --> 02:17:58,120
he's gonna be the college football insider that I am

2886
02:17:58,120 --> 02:18:00,360
to the Texans inside. He's wrong, it's gonna be well,

2887
02:18:00,520 --> 02:18:03,360
just another random national person saying something out there to

2888
02:18:03,360 --> 02:18:03,799
get clicks.

2889
02:18:03,840 --> 02:18:06,239
Speaker 5: And it worked because what.

2890
02:18:06,159 --> 02:18:07,959
Speaker 3: We talked about we played a couple of times the show.

2891
02:18:09,639 --> 02:18:09,959
I don't know.

2892
02:18:10,000 --> 02:18:13,559
Speaker 4: I just I think, and you and I have the

2893
02:18:13,559 --> 02:18:16,559
same philosophy about radio show, and maybe if we were

2894
02:18:16,559 --> 02:18:18,559
doing on a national stage it'd be different. But man,

2895
02:18:18,600 --> 02:18:21,280
oh man, if you think I would ever come to

2896
02:18:21,360 --> 02:18:23,799
y'all and say, hey, do you think Davis Mills really.

2897
02:18:23,600 --> 02:18:24,559
Speaker 5: Could be better than c J.

2898
02:18:24,719 --> 02:18:28,639
Speaker 4: Stroud, then take my man card away, Take my sports

2899
02:18:28,719 --> 02:18:31,959
radio card away, Take my take my ability to have

2900
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:37,399
a microphone in front of me for four hours a day.

2901
02:18:37,440 --> 02:18:40,799
Speaker 3: It's absurd. It's yeah, don't you know. I'm gonna go

2902
02:18:40,840 --> 02:18:42,479
with rage bait. I'm gonna go with that.

2903
02:18:43,399 --> 02:18:46,040
Speaker 4: Because look, we do talk about some interesting, funny things

2904
02:18:46,040 --> 02:18:48,639
that are off the beaten track, and we will bring

2905
02:18:48,719 --> 02:18:51,760
up you know, man, are they seeing something or are

2906
02:18:51,760 --> 02:18:54,559
we something going to change or should you consider changing

2907
02:18:54,639 --> 02:18:57,559
or what I mean that comes with the territory of sports, mean,

2908
02:18:57,600 --> 02:18:59,600
because you're want to you want to jump on what's

2909
02:18:59,639 --> 02:19:03,079
hot and who's doing well, and you know, like, for instance,

2910
02:19:03,079 --> 02:19:05,840
if you hired like I mean, think about at Oseron,

2911
02:19:06,000 --> 02:19:08,000
did he not get the LSU job because he took

2912
02:19:08,000 --> 02:19:09,719
over mid season and things were going great?

2913
02:19:09,840 --> 02:19:15,280
Speaker 3: Right, yes, mm hmm, so that can happen, and I think,

2914
02:19:15,799 --> 02:19:18,040
I mean, does LSU regret doing it? I don't know.

2915
02:19:18,120 --> 02:19:19,319
Speaker 5: I mean, they spent a lot of money in the

2916
02:19:19,319 --> 02:19:21,520
guy and fizzled pretty quick.

2917
02:19:21,600 --> 02:19:23,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got they got a championship out of the deal.

2918
02:19:23,639 --> 02:19:25,360
Speaker 4: They got a championship out of it. So he's not,

2919
02:19:25,479 --> 02:19:28,879
you know, the worst thing in the world. But it's

2920
02:19:28,959 --> 02:19:31,559
just crazy how we just ran to the Plan B

2921
02:19:31,719 --> 02:19:34,639
and automatically, Plan B is always better than the tried

2922
02:19:34,680 --> 02:19:36,120
and true formula that is Plan A.

2923
02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:40,200
Speaker 3: We love backups.

2924
02:19:42,840 --> 02:19:45,680
Speaker 4: We but don't we need to define what backups are.

2925
02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:48,319
They're they're not starters.

2926
02:19:47,639 --> 02:19:48,559
Speaker 5: For a reason.

2927
02:19:48,719 --> 02:19:49,120
Speaker 3: Correct.

2928
02:19:50,239 --> 02:19:51,959
Speaker 4: Speaking of that, I think U of H is gonna

2929
02:19:51,959 --> 02:19:53,559
have themselves a little bit of conundrum here.

2930
02:19:53,680 --> 02:19:55,360
Speaker 3: What's wrong. It's kind of Wegman.

2931
02:19:55,440 --> 02:20:00,959
Speaker 4: Hurt, the number one quarterback in the country according to

2932
02:20:01,000 --> 02:20:03,000
twenty four to seven Sports, is a U of H commit.

2933
02:20:03,600 --> 02:20:06,120
He is literally the number one player in the country.

2934
02:20:09,360 --> 02:20:13,440
And that means we're gonna be paying two guys. That's

2935
02:20:13,440 --> 02:20:14,879
the thing we don't talk about when when we talk

2936
02:20:14,920 --> 02:20:17,280
about this money that these schools have to pay these athletes.

2937
02:20:17,600 --> 02:20:19,399
You're not just paying the starting quarterback. You're paying the

2938
02:20:19,399 --> 02:20:21,520
backup quarterbacks. You can stay around in case let's starting

2939
02:20:21,520 --> 02:20:26,280
to go somewhere else. It's crazy the amount of money

2940
02:20:26,280 --> 02:20:29,159
that the you know, I'm presuming I think his name is.

2941
02:20:29,399 --> 02:20:31,239
I don't let me off forget his name, but it's

2942
02:20:31,280 --> 02:20:32,799
I think it's Henderson's his last name.

2943
02:20:32,920 --> 02:20:34,760
Speaker 5: You my u ah, people would know what his name is.

2944
02:20:35,000 --> 02:20:37,280
Speaker 4: But he's a number one. He's the number one player

2945
02:20:37,399 --> 02:20:40,399
in the country, and he's going to the University of Houston.

2946
02:20:41,639 --> 02:20:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it must be a check. It's uh Keishawn Henderson.

2947
02:20:46,920 --> 02:20:49,959
Speaker 4: He twenty four to seven Sports Recruiting twenty four an

2948
02:20:50,000 --> 02:20:52,959
hour ago just literally named him the number one five

2949
02:20:53,040 --> 02:20:56,040
star quarterback commit in the country.

2950
02:20:56,239 --> 02:21:00,159
Speaker 3: And he's going really when they changed their rankings, I guess, Oh,

2951
02:21:00,399 --> 02:21:03,040
I guess they do it all the time. I see

2952
02:21:03,040 --> 02:21:06,040
the Georgia QB Jared Curtis is number one on there.

2953
02:21:07,319 --> 02:21:09,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is as of one hour ago, top ten

2954
02:21:09,760 --> 02:21:14,319
overall class of twenty twenty six, number one. Keishawn Henderson quarterback,

2955
02:21:14,399 --> 02:21:15,479
University Houston.

2956
02:21:15,360 --> 02:21:20,079
Speaker 3: Legacy of the Sport, the Legacy legacy, the School of Sports.

2957

02:22:06,680 --> 02:22:07,719
Cavaliers organization?

2977
02:22:09,079 --> 02:22:11,520
Speaker 3: Hmm, I'm trying to decide how much of it. You

2978
02:22:11,520 --> 02:22:15,639
know what, It's fine, there's if if Lebron James never

2979
02:22:15,639 --> 02:22:19,559
played for the Cavaliers, their greatest player of all time

2980
02:22:19,600 --> 02:22:28,040
would be the Junaslgauskas said, franchise. Okay, let me give you.

Speaker 3: I guess all right.

3006
02:23:43,360 --> 02:23:45,000
Speaker 4: I mentioned the Astros. We'll get to that in a second.

3007
02:23:45,040 --> 02:23:46,319
But I just saw the funniest thing on the four

3008
02:23:46,399 --> 02:23:52,639
utab sports Rvy. This is from Pro Football Talk. The

3009
02:23:52,760 --> 02:23:59,079
NFL is quietly I I gotta read it Bribain because

3010
02:23:59,079 --> 02:24:00,200
I don't want to goof it up here.

3011
02:24:00,360 --> 02:24:06,719
Speaker 3: The NFL is quietly monitoring the return of supersonic flights

3012
02:24:07,239 --> 02:24:12,120
as a way to make expansion to Europe easier. What

3013
02:24:12,120 --> 02:24:16,959
what now?

3014
02:24:17,360 --> 02:24:20,959
Speaker 5: I have never been on a supersonic jet before, like the.

3015
02:24:20,959 --> 02:24:25,440
Speaker 4: Concord, but from what I understand, they do really really

3016
02:24:25,479 --> 02:24:26,239
remove quickly.

3017
02:24:26,319 --> 02:24:29,200
Speaker 5: But they're also very slick.

3018
02:24:30,760 --> 02:24:34,360
Speaker 4: Planes that don't see a whole lot of people and

3019
02:24:34,879 --> 02:24:40,680
are not known for their being overly luxurious. Tell me

3020
02:24:40,719 --> 02:24:42,399
how you're gonna put a three hundred and twenty five

3021
02:24:42,479 --> 02:24:46,639
pound offensive lineman or defensive lineman on a Concord even

3022
02:24:46,879 --> 02:24:50,040
for five hours to go from say, New York to Berlin.

3023
02:24:53,799 --> 02:24:55,840
Speaker 3: I guess they're gonna have to invent plays and planes

3024
02:24:55,840 --> 02:25:00,239
that can and they can fit these guys out.

3025
02:25:01,200 --> 02:25:03,639
Speaker 5: Didn't the Concord only have like like a hand number

3026
02:25:03,680 --> 02:25:05,559
of a cer number of seats to begin with?

3027
02:25:06,520 --> 02:25:08,200
Speaker 3: I have no idea what.

3028
02:25:08,200 --> 02:25:09,159
Speaker 5: Are you gonna what are you gonna take?

3029
02:25:09,239 --> 02:25:12,840
Speaker 3: Like, personic travel is not on my radar, It's just not.

3030
02:25:13,399 --> 02:25:15,360
Speaker 4: I gotta look up the Concord plane. How many people

3031
02:25:15,360 --> 02:25:16,399
sat on these things?

3032
02:25:17,040 --> 02:25:19,000
Speaker 5: Uh? They began in nineteen fifty four?

3033
02:25:19,360 --> 02:25:22,600
Speaker 3: What? Yeah, I wouldn't hop on no supersonic plane in

3034
02:25:22,639 --> 02:25:25,520
nineteen fifty four had problems with regular planes.

3035
02:25:25,959 --> 02:25:28,639
Speaker 5: The last commercial flight was in October of two thousand

3036
02:25:28,680 --> 02:25:30,719
and three. Damn what okay?

3037
02:25:31,159 --> 02:25:35,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? So the like so nobody was just wasn't profitable.

3038
02:25:36,200 --> 02:25:40,000
Speaker 5: I guess a seating for between ninety two and one

3039
02:25:40,079 --> 02:25:43,159
hundred and twenty eight passengers, that's like normal size human beings.

3040
02:25:46,639 --> 02:25:48,760
We can't we can't get to Europe fast enough, can't we.

3041
02:25:48,760 --> 02:25:51,319
Speaker 3: ROSSI seems like it seemed dangerous.

3042
02:25:51,879 --> 02:25:54,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna have a I'm

3043
02:25:54,440 --> 02:25:56,600
gonna pull rest injury management.

3044
02:25:56,719 --> 02:25:58,639
Speaker 3: What happens when you run into a flock of birds

3045
02:25:58,719 --> 02:26:03,319
at double the speed of of sound.

3046
02:26:05,239 --> 02:26:07,280
Speaker 4: I don't want I don't want European basketball. I don't

3047
02:26:07,319 --> 02:26:09,559
want European football. I don't want European baseball.

3048
02:26:09,559 --> 02:26:13,959
Speaker 3: It's a six hour time difference just to London, and

3049
02:26:13,959 --> 02:26:20,239
then it gets more you go further away. Yeah, just go.

3050
02:26:20,239 --> 02:26:22,040
Speaker 5: Put Jacksonville there for three weeks at a time and

3051
02:26:22,120 --> 02:26:23,360
let them play some games there.

3052
02:26:26,120 --> 02:26:28,280
Speaker 3: More and pushing and pushing and pushing and pushing and

3053
02:26:28,280 --> 02:26:29,079
pushing and pushing.

3054
02:26:29,239 --> 02:26:32,840
Speaker 4: Yep, does it stop. It's never gonna stop. Was new

3055
02:26:32,920 --> 02:26:38,280
new avenues of pushing. All right, let's get to pushing

3056
02:26:38,399 --> 02:26:40,479
Ramona Ureus. You want to be pushing for his playing

3057
02:26:40,520 --> 02:26:42,120
time was not ten.

3058
02:26:42,319 --> 02:26:45,120
Speaker 3: Deal by the Astros. Uh.

3059
02:26:45,280 --> 02:26:46,799
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna say I'm completely shocked.

3060
02:26:46,879 --> 02:26:50,280
Speaker 4: I think it would have taken Ureus to be really, really,

3061
02:26:50,360 --> 02:26:53,040
really good to unseat Mauricio Dubon as a guy that

3062
02:26:53,120 --> 02:26:54,680
the Astros would want to keep around because of his

3063
02:26:55,120 --> 02:26:55,680
ability to.

3064
02:26:55,600 --> 02:26:57,280
Speaker 5: Play in the infield and the outfield.

3065
02:26:57,479 --> 02:27:00,920
Speaker 4: Been there, done that, solid glue guy, doesn't worry about

3066
02:27:00,959 --> 02:27:04,680
his playing time, just does whatever is asked by the manager.

3067
02:27:07,440 --> 02:27:09,399
Speaker 3: And it costs you. Twine Palmer.

3068
02:27:13,280 --> 02:27:13,840
Speaker 5: How's he doing?

3069
02:27:13,879 --> 02:27:15,799
Speaker 3: By the way, I have no idea. I don't know

3070
02:27:15,840 --> 02:27:19,680
the latest on twine Palmer. See in the Arizona fall League.

3071
02:27:20,280 --> 02:27:21,959
Speaker 5: I didn't even know who twine Palmer was nuntil you

3072
02:27:21,959 --> 02:27:23,239
said his name again. I remember that.

3073
02:27:23,479 --> 02:27:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, from ber Valdez till the Astros.

3074
02:27:27,360 --> 02:27:29,479
Speaker 5: Thanks, but no thanks to the one you're qualifying offer.

3075
02:27:31,440 --> 02:27:34,920
Speaker 4: Money's gonna be good for him. Now, let me ask

3076
02:27:34,959 --> 02:27:37,399
you this, can we we should go we You and

3077
02:27:37,479 --> 02:27:40,280
I are on the record. I don't think the Astros

3078
02:27:40,360 --> 02:27:42,680
are going to miss him very much.

3079
02:27:44,479 --> 02:27:44,840
Speaker 3: Fromber.

3080
02:27:44,920 --> 02:27:47,600
Speaker 5: He's an arm he plays every fifth day, doesn't get hurt.

3081
02:27:47,760 --> 02:27:51,360
Speaker 3: There's value in that, absolutely. But as much as we

3082
02:27:51,959 --> 02:27:55,479
appreciate the good Fromber, the bad Fromber wasn't worth.

3083
02:27:55,239 --> 02:27:57,520
Speaker 5: Putting six years and one hundred and eighty million dollars

3084
02:27:57,559 --> 02:27:59,040
in this spiggy bank. I just don't think it was.

3085
02:27:59,200 --> 02:28:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, we'll see what kind of deal he

3086
02:28:00,799 --> 02:28:04,239
gets and what they sign him to. But there is

3087
02:28:04,280 --> 02:28:06,719
a big hole in the rotation. What is your rotation?

3088
02:28:06,840 --> 02:28:08,559
Right after this minute? Hunter Brown? And then what.

3089
02:28:10,399 --> 02:28:15,680
Speaker 5: Christian Howier? Kay you asked, I'm giving you answers.

3090
02:28:15,879 --> 02:28:19,200
Speaker 4: I mean you to like it, Okay, I would think

3091
02:28:19,239 --> 02:28:22,559
Spencer arrag Getty's in the mix. I would think Lance

3092
02:28:22,639 --> 02:28:26,559
mccullors is in the mix. Now the other guys, I'm

3093
02:28:26,559 --> 02:28:28,399
not sure how their arms are, if they've been tejight

3094
02:28:28,479 --> 02:28:31,879
or not, or who's coming back for I'm so confused.

3095
02:28:32,159 --> 02:28:33,840
I think Justin Verlander is coming back.

3096
02:28:33,959 --> 02:28:37,520
Speaker 3: Oh geez, Okay, so you're you're speculating a deal that

3097
02:28:37,559 --> 02:28:41,959
hasn't happened yet. Yeah, a forty three year old YEP

3098
02:28:42,239 --> 02:28:44,479
number five starter who was whips numbers have been bad

3099
02:28:44,520 --> 02:28:45,479
for two straight years.

3100
02:28:45,840 --> 02:28:47,399
Speaker 5: He had an area of three in the second half

3101
02:28:47,399 --> 02:28:47,959
of last year.

3102
02:28:48,200 --> 02:28:53,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but hashtag the whip was still bad and some

3103
02:28:53,360 --> 02:28:55,479
of the other numbers were still bad. So I'm worried

3104
02:28:55,479 --> 02:28:55,840
about that.

3105
02:29:00,639 --> 02:29:01,840
Speaker 5: Oh, it's it's no.

3106
02:29:02,559 --> 02:29:04,399
Speaker 3: That's why maybe you get a starting pitcher back if

3107
02:29:04,399 --> 02:29:12,719
you trade Jake Myers Jason Alexander Well forgot about him.

3108
02:29:13,760 --> 02:29:17,120
Speaker 5: Here's your what you got. You have a bona fide one.

3109
02:29:17,719 --> 02:29:21,079
Speaker 3: Yes, have a two who was a two before he

3110
02:29:21,120 --> 02:29:23,079
got hurt, so now he's not really a two. And

3111
02:29:23,120 --> 02:29:24,520
then he wasn't very good last year.

3112
02:29:24,920 --> 02:29:26,239
Speaker 5: And then you got a bunch of fours.

3113
02:29:26,040 --> 02:29:28,879
Speaker 3: And fives.

3114
02:29:30,040 --> 02:29:31,680
Speaker 5: That have to all of a sudden pitch that thirty.

3115
02:29:31,760 --> 02:29:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're better with Fromber on this team than off.

3116
02:29:34,360 --> 02:29:38,719
I'm not close, nobody's nobody's arguing that, but.

3117
02:29:40,200 --> 02:29:41,120
Speaker 5: I can't shake it.

3118
02:29:41,239 --> 02:29:44,440
Speaker 4: Ross And please, if he goes on and is good

3119
02:29:44,520 --> 02:29:47,760
Fromber for ninety percent of his remaining portion of his career,

3120
02:29:48,360 --> 02:29:51,840
please come at me and say, remember, Matt, you forgot

3121
02:29:51,879 --> 02:29:53,000
about how good Frommer was.

3122
02:29:53,360 --> 02:29:55,760
Speaker 5: I will apologize and say, yes, I forgot how good

3123
02:29:55,760 --> 02:29:56,079
he was.

3124
02:29:57,120 --> 02:29:59,399
Speaker 4: But I have too much in my crawl of the

3125
02:29:59,440 --> 02:30:02,760
bob from her to say I'm not putting long term

3126
02:30:02,799 --> 02:30:04,799
contract and long term money in front of his in

3127
02:30:04,799 --> 02:30:05,639
front of his contract.

3128
02:30:05,680 --> 02:30:08,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, age decline can be a real thing for him.

3129
02:30:08,120 --> 02:30:10,159
I mean he had his worst season in like three

3130
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:11,399
or four seasons last year.

3131
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:19,520

3170
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:23,239
don't need neither one of them.

3171
02:32:25,479 --> 02:32:27,639
Speaker 3: You're telling me you're worried about Kate Upton more than

3172
02:32:27,639 --> 02:32:28,760
you are justin Verlander.

3173
02:32:28,840 --> 02:32:33,639
Speaker 16: Hey, yeah, because that's she ain't got nothing left. You

3174
02:32:33,680 --> 02:32:34,920
gotta get somebody deal.

3175
02:32:35,600 --> 02:32:36,000
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

3176
02:32:38,239 --> 02:32:41,639
Speaker 4: Okay, So you're telling me only justin Verlander comes if

3177
02:32:41,719 --> 02:32:43,840
Kate Upton spends half the year in Houston, or at

3178
02:32:43,920 --> 02:32:44,719
least half the starts.

3179
02:32:44,719 --> 02:32:49,399
Speaker 16: Okay, that's the only take Burland.

3180
02:32:49,760 --> 02:32:52,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'm gonna presume that you'd be there. My

3181
02:32:52,600 --> 02:32:53,760
wife has a picture with.

3182
02:32:53,959 --> 02:32:56,000
Speaker 5: Kate Upton at an Astros game that a couple of

3183
02:32:56,040 --> 02:32:56,479
years back.

3184
02:32:56,559 --> 02:33:00,280
Speaker 4: So, by the way, Schwarber expected to sign a five

3185
02:33:00,360 --> 02:33:02,559
year deal for one hundred and thirty two million dollars

3186
02:33:03,479 --> 02:33:04,440
with who's thirty two?

3187
02:33:04,799 --> 02:33:06,520
Speaker 3: Huh oh with the team? Are you just talking about

3188
02:33:06,520 --> 02:33:08,239
expected contract or contract?

3189
02:33:08,319 --> 02:33:08,479
Speaker 6: Yeah?

3190
02:33:08,520 --> 02:33:09,360
Speaker 5: Expected contract?

3191
02:33:09,479 --> 02:33:10,239
Speaker 3: Uh?

3192
02:33:10,799 --> 02:33:12,840
Speaker 5: Phillies are the leaders in the clubhouse.

3193
02:33:14,000 --> 02:33:17,040
Speaker 3: But however, However, there.

3194
02:33:17,000 --> 02:33:19,239
Speaker 4: Is a team that might want to kick the tires

3195
02:33:19,280 --> 02:33:25,799
on him. Go ahead, Pittsburgh, the Pittsburgh Pirates. What, yeah,

3196
02:33:26,120 --> 02:33:28,360
does he have? Does he have Pennsylvania Tis or something?

3197
02:33:30,799 --> 02:33:32,680
Speaker 3: He is from Middletown, Ohio?

3198
02:33:34,559 --> 02:33:36,799
Speaker 5: And how far is that from Pittsburgh? And was he

3199
02:33:36,959 --> 02:33:38,280
was he a Pirate fan growing up?

3200
02:33:38,440 --> 02:33:42,920
Speaker 3: No idea. That seems like, you know, Ohio's close, right, Yeah,

3201
02:33:42,959 --> 02:33:45,040
it's in the general vicinity.

3202
02:33:45,600 --> 02:33:47,479
Speaker 5: He would be at the geography majors of the show.

3203
02:33:47,719 --> 02:33:50,840
Speaker 3: Yes, uh, looks like it's kind of far.

3204
02:33:52,319 --> 02:33:53,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, here are the teams.

3205
02:33:53,479 --> 02:33:55,719
Speaker 3: It's near Cincinnati. It's like a suburb of Cinci.

3206
02:33:55,959 --> 02:34:05,079
Speaker 4: Okay, in Schwarber's markets would include Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Uh, Angels,

3207
02:34:05,120 --> 02:34:10,200
and Marlins. I think the reason why I don't think

3208
02:34:10,200 --> 02:34:12,760
he's getting the megadies is because he's thirty two years old.

3209
02:34:13,799 --> 02:34:15,920
You're not putting those, you know, you're not putting the

3210
02:34:16,000 --> 02:34:17,280
cow tucker s money on.

3211
02:34:17,200 --> 02:34:21,200
Speaker 3: Those like that. But he hit over fifty home runs

3212
02:34:21,200 --> 02:34:21,719
this year, right, and I.

3213
02:34:21,719 --> 02:34:23,399
Speaker 5: Think he also played did he play a full one

3214
02:34:23,520 --> 02:34:24,159
sixty two.

3215
02:34:24,079 --> 02:34:26,959
Speaker 3: Last year too? I think or something like that. Pretty good,

3216
02:34:28,600 --> 02:34:31,559
really good. I would take him one sixty two. Yeah,

3217
02:34:31,639 --> 02:34:34,959
fifty six home runs nine twenty eight ops.

3218
02:34:34,959 --> 02:34:42,959
Speaker 5: Whoo oooh no, we don't need him cam Smith second year,

3219
02:34:43,079 --> 02:34:43,440
let's go.

3220
02:34:43,559 --> 02:34:47,000
Speaker 3: Oh jesus, you know he's not even guaranteed a roster

3221
02:34:47,040 --> 02:34:51,159
spot camp Smith. I like Cam Smith. Banking on Cam

3222
02:34:51,239 --> 02:34:52,159
Smith is a mistake.

3223
02:34:53,440 --> 02:34:55,000
Speaker 5: Was not Dana just trying to pump him up a

3224
02:34:55,000 --> 02:34:55,360
little bit?

3225
02:34:55,440 --> 02:34:58,000
Speaker 3: Say he was he pump him up? Actually say he

3226
02:34:58,079 --> 02:34:59,120
might not be on the roster.

3227
02:35:00,280 --> 02:35:00,520
Speaker 2: That was.

3228
02:35:00,639 --> 02:35:02,680
Speaker 4: It was not a pump It was the anti pump up,

3229
02:35:02,719 --> 02:35:04,600
like check your ego. But the camp Smith does a

3230
02:35:04,600 --> 02:35:05,799
couple across as an ego guy.

3231
02:35:06,079 --> 02:35:09,680
Speaker 3: No, no, Dana Brown loves his guys and he loves

3232
02:35:09,719 --> 02:35:12,360
his acquisition. So that should give you serious pause. If

3233
02:35:12,360 --> 02:35:13,479
he's not pumping him up.

3234
02:35:15,040 --> 02:35:17,200
Speaker 4: Oh no, you you brought that up. Not And now

3235
02:35:17,239 --> 02:35:19,760
I'm really worried because if he's a guy that he traded.

3236
02:35:19,479 --> 02:35:23,520
Speaker 3: For and he's not guaranteeing him spot Oh hell is

3237
02:35:23,639 --> 02:35:25,280
that Dana Brown always be like, oh this guy that

3238
02:35:25,360 --> 02:35:29,959
not acquired, Yeah, he's amazing. Not to anybody, right, any

3239
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:31,840
decision you make, any draft pick, you make it your

3240
02:35:31,879 --> 02:35:35,440
fantasy team. Oh that's the best player ever. You like

3241
02:35:35,520 --> 02:35:37,120
me saying, you know Ross had a good year on

3242
02:35:37,159 --> 02:35:41,079
the show. But that microphone that's saint in the chair

3243
02:35:41,120 --> 02:35:41,959
is not guaranteed.

3244
02:35:43,360 --> 02:35:45,159
Speaker 4: But I've been saying there for fifteen years. You've been

3245
02:35:45,239 --> 02:35:46,239
you're doing just fine.

3246
02:35:46,559 --> 02:35:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeahs fifteen. Yeah, you're gonna break, gonna throw up.

3247
02:35:50,760 --> 02:35:50,840
Speaker 2: But.
