00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:21,800
I'm here in Indianapolis, Indiana, where tonight your Houston Rockets

4
00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:27,839
will be taking on the hated Indiana Pacers. And speaking

5
00:00:27,839 --> 00:00:31,519
of hate, Rossie, I missed the warm weather. Is it

6
00:00:31,559 --> 00:00:33,439

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:33,759

Speaker 2: Uh?

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,039
Speaker 1: No, it was a little. It's warmer than it was yesterday,

10
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:38,719
and over the weekend it was like chili. It was

11
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:40,320
like in the forties over the weekend. I don't know

12
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,200
the exact weather right now, but I'm gonna say it

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,000
feels much warmer, like maybe even close to sixty.

14
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 3: So you know, Tank, you know tank, top of thong.

21
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh, peeling the curtain back.

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: The oldest of my three children decided to spend some

23
00:01:06,719 --> 00:01:09,280
quality time with his uncle Ross. Yes, yes, you were

24
00:01:09,359 --> 00:01:11,359
up to a two nothing lead. Were you cocky when

25
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,439
it was two nothings? No, I was not. We literally

26
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:16,079
were telling him, here comes the city collapse because your

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,799
son got all sad because you know he's a huge

28
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:20,200
Tottenham fan. Yeah, he was getting all sad because it

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,120
was too nil city And literally me and the other

30
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:24,760
City fans were like, dude, it's fine, the collapses on

31
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,640
and it happened. Well, it was a two two tie,

32
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,640
so yeah, the over under awo point five on goals.

33
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,280
You should take the over on there. Yes, and good

34
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,159
a good time perhad by all, I'm assuming. Oh yeah,

35
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:37,200
it was a good time. Your son crushed some fish

36
00:01:37,239 --> 00:01:39,680
and chips. Oh, and we watched some your watch some

37
00:01:39,879 --> 00:01:41,840
English football, So I mean, what goes better with English

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,640
football than fish and chips? Please tell me you put

39
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:49,159
lots of vinegar on those fish and chips. It's funny

40
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,920
you say that. Uh oh, because they brought them all vinegar.

41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,480
And then he went to go sit down and he

42
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,719
left he They put it on the bar table and

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,000
then he went to the like the eating table to

44
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,239
sit and he left them all vinegar. I was like, oh,

45
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:03,000
I said, hey man, he can't leave them all vinegar.

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,120
He's like, no, I'm good. Oh no. Then literally someone

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,960
else said, oh, hey, you forgot the minute and we

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,960
were both like what you can't not get the vinegar,

49
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,240
and so you literally brought it up. That's so funny. Yeah,

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,520
this is all organic. By the way, I just checked

51
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,439
with him yesterday. I said, how did you have ross

52
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:22,639
of a good time? You have but a great time?

53
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,719
Da da da, And he didn't mention fish and chips.

54
00:02:25,759 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 3: He didn't mention Vigard mentioned.

55
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, he bathed pretty well. I mean he was talking

56
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,360
some trash when they scored the second goal, but that's

57
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,719
warranted because we were talking trash when when City got

58
00:02:34,719 --> 00:02:36,599
their goals. I mean, that's it's all all fun in

59
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,639
the game. Please tell me he wasn't soaring at you. No, no,

60
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,719
he just said we own your small club and he

61
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,879
was clean. Wow. I mean Tottenham is Tottenham owned City.

62
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,680
It's so bad all right. Now, we've got the ten

63
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:53,639
o'clock soccer audience taken care of. Uh, we got the

64
00:02:53,719 --> 00:02:56,120
rockets and pacers tonight here in Indianapolis, and there will

65
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000
be no Kevin Durant in the lineup tonight. And he

66
00:02:58,039 --> 00:03:00,000
has been ruled out with a bad ankle this evening.

67
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:07,599
Oh great, it's Indiana, right, I mean you got you

68
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:10,199
know what. Sometimes guy's gonna put the big boy pants on, right,

69
00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:17,000
let's go don Yes, Steven Adams, Nope, not gonna happen.

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,199
He's got his big boy boot on. You know what,

71
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,599
Let's get let's get some big points from Adrian Finney

72
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Smith if you will. Okay, when's again? And when's he

73
00:03:25,039 --> 00:03:27,479
coming off a minute restriction? I don't know, but he's

74
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,000
gonna be playing a lot of mess tonight. I'm assume

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,639
Josha Coche isn't playing well. Got another double digit scoring

76
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,439
last other night. Saturday night's game was fun inside Tota Center.

77
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:38,240
Uh six different Rockets and double figures, including one Josha Kogie.

78
00:03:38,319 --> 00:03:40,960
So it's all good on that. Uh So, yeah, the

79
00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:43,319
Rockets will take on this Pacer team today. PACER's playing

80
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:45,439
a little bit better. They were Atrocio to start the season.

81
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:48,080
Now they're just bad. Uh, but they're still well under

82
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,599
five hundred. They're not gonna have any hopes of a playoff.

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,159
The Rocket team to beat them up because they've got

84
00:03:53,159 --> 00:03:57,080
a Wednesday Thursday back to back at home. Wednesday Boston

85
00:03:57,199 --> 00:03:59,120
is playing and that's the most surprising team in the

86
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,560
NBA at this point, and Thursday it'll be Charlotte, who,

87
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:05,199
by the way, beat the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday.

88
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,319
They've been playing some really good basketball the last two

89
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:10,039
weeks or so. They have won six in a row.

90
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:15,960
The Charlotte Hornets, Charlotte Hornets. Gotta worry about these pesky hornets.

91
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,560
I've never worried about a pesky hornet in my life.

92
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,959
Oh really, you never got the hornet stings. Not since

93
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,639
Grandma and Alonzo morning, I think I've worried about the hornets.

94
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,079
O j R. Reid, Grandmama, Grandmama. All right, a lot

95
00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:31,879
of little things to get to today. I want to

96
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:36,240
drop of you, just saying Grandmama, Grandmama, no matter Italian,

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,439
get the meat balls in the morning. Is speaking of pizza.

98
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,319
We didn't had pizza last night at Giordano's, which is

99
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,759
a Chicago place in general. Yes, it's Indianapolis, so this

100
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,600
is in the mecca of food. I mean it's also

101
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:56,800
a tourist trappy Gerdono's go ahead, but it's also about

102
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,160
thirty five steps from our hotel. And it was seven

103
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,920
forty five at night. It was cold, so We're like, hey,

104
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,519
let's go get some pizza. So we did. I'm a

105
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,759
loom on that he's a guy. I don't disagree with

106
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,279
luman and naughties. And when you're in Chicago, is the

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,439
is the definitely go to. But it was good. I'll

108
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:17,480
just say this again. Deep dish to me is over rated.

109
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:23,000
Oh Jesus, it's delicious, heavy, it's delicious, and yeah, that's

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,680
what's beauty about it. First of all, you do have

111
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,160
to wait like forty minutes to get it, which is

112
00:05:26,199 --> 00:05:29,040
kind of true. I'll give you that. I would certainly

113
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,519
give you that, but then you get two slices in

114
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,160
your full while you're waiting for those forty minutes, you

115
00:05:33,199 --> 00:05:34,680
get a soup and a salad and you fill up

116
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,800
and then you only need like two slices. Well, I

117
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,240
did not get a soup and salad beforehand. Others in

118
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,639
our party did, and they regretted it immediately when there

119
00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:45,399
are pizzas came out because those things are oh you

120
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,959
you need it for six weeks.

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: We get it.

122
00:05:47,519 --> 00:05:49,439
Speaker 1: We're also on the town. I mean, you're not traveling

123
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,879
from the arena to your hotel room, back to the

124
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:54,040
arena of the plane back no, no, get a ziplock

125
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:57,399
mag and take it to the arena. It's all good. Ross,

126
00:05:57,399 --> 00:05:58,839
I got breaking news for you. They do feed you

127
00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,480
the arena as well. Maybe not as good as h

128
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:04,600
as a Jaredo's. Yeah, I think gior Donald's and Gino's

129
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,360
easts are. I mean, they're all touristys for sure. Local

130
00:06:07,439 --> 00:06:10,160
Chicagoans will tell you. But I'm a Luma Nani's guy.

131
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,920
But though everybody's like, oh no, we like Chicago tavern style.

132
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120
This the locals they get all mad and pissy. We

133
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,920
did have tavern style yesterday, as a matter of fact,

134
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,439
one of the pizzas did, so that's the one I

135
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,600
went with. Not nearly as heavy, not like thin crust,

136
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,879
but a step above that. But and that will also

137
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,839
take care of our pizza talk for them. But I

138
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,199
just want to give you a little heads up of

139
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,279
what's happening here in the It's February, folks, yeah it is.

140
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,480
What do you want some bad radio road gas? We

141
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,480
can do that too if you want. Okay, coming up

142
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,839
Carl Mecklenburg. Hey, come on, man, that's disrespectful to Karl Mecklenberg.

143
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:47,639
Bronco's legend. Eric Hipple former detroitent Lions quarterback. I know

144
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:49,600
who Eric Hipple is. When I had him on about

145
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:50,600
four or five years ago, I was like, this is

146
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,079
pretty cool. I'm thinking of myself. My god, no one

147
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,079
who used to knows who Eric Hipple is. And two

148
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,720
tall Jones still making the rounds. Is he even alive? Okay,

149
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:05,079
let's guess I will say yes. I'm gonna say alive. Yes, Okay,

150
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,319
we're both right, all right? Harvey Martin still alive? Yes?

151
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:09,519
Or no? Harvey Martin?

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Dallas Cowboy.

153
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: Seventy and Harvey Martin is dead two thousand and one.

154
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I never interviewed a minute.

155
00:07:20,839 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: It's a false memory. Yeah. I just get mid eighty

156
00:07:24,439 --> 00:07:26,240
players and I'm like, okay, you can you come on

157
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,519

161
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,680
surly during the interview, like just blow us off, just

162
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,480
don't show up. Yeah, I was so mad. Well. The

163
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:47,959
reality now about Radio Row is it's now it's called

164
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,480
me media because people are doing podcasts and guess who's

165
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:52,319
doing the podcast the Stars.

166
00:07:52,519 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: Well, I have another question about that. Yeah, you know,

167
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,800
we had.

168
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes issues getting the premier premier guest because we're Houston.

169
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,199
Speaker 3: We're not La New York Chicago. Correct.

170
00:08:02,279 --> 00:08:05,079
Speaker 1: Now, when you're these booking agents are booking podcasts, do

171
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,720
they literally ask you for download numbers? Like? What do

172
00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:10,920
they do? How do you how do you politely say, uh, yeah,

173
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:14,120
you only have a thousand podcasts? Uh, downloads, you suck.

174
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,199
We're not going to go on your show. That's what

175
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,000
they're doing. Man, that's you gotta get your feelings hurt.

176
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,319
If you have some kind of little middling podcast and

177
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,160
you go up there, well, I'll say this, Uh, there's

178
00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:27,360
a former astro no I won't name his name, Rustin Rorlander,

179
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:30,800
that would you know, would politely decline our show because

180
00:08:30,879 --> 00:08:32,480
we weren't didn't have a big enough audience.

181
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, So they do. Some of these guys are

182
00:08:36,639 --> 00:08:37,279
savvy to it.

183
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Now again, I would think if you're Rustin Rodlander, you

184
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,559
should definitely go on to Houston radio show or in Houston,

185
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,639
And we have the most astros fans in Houston listening

186
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,759
to for sure. I mean, mong astro against sports radio

187
00:08:47,759 --> 00:08:49,519
in Houston. People coming to us for the astro stuff,

188
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:52,840
and we greatly appreciate that. But Rustin didn't understand those things,

189
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,879
but that's fine. He was looking for more of the

190
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,399
Ryan ratrics and the Rollin Baalherd's kind of shows like that. Yeah,

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,159
but they don't talk baseball on those national shows, so

192
00:09:03,159 --> 00:09:06,600
it's kind of anyway. Uh okay, So there's I got

193
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:08,080
a lot of little things. You know when you get

194
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:09,759
when you get on a flight and you're figuring out

195
00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:11,559
what you're gonna do for the Monday show. Huh, we'll

196
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,320
have to tell the truth coming up today eleven thirty.

197
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,440
Looking forward to that, well, the news at noon, and

198
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,159
then we'll obviously have our believe it or not at

199
00:09:17,159 --> 00:09:19,879
one fifty. I was thinking about a variety of little

200
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:23,159
things on there, and then a couple of things popped up.

201
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 3: There is a story speaking of Italians.

202
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,519
Speaker 1: Is it Graziani or Grazioni that works that writes for ESPN?

203
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,799
Speaker 3: Dan, Dan Crazy Dan?

204
00:09:35,039 --> 00:09:38,279
Speaker 1: Then the Graziano, I thought, Grazia.

205
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: I know.

206
00:09:40,039 --> 00:09:41,879
Speaker 1: They've a stereotype on the show. What did he say

207
00:09:41,879 --> 00:09:42,919
about the Texans and CJ.

208
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:45,759
Speaker 3: You're going to have to wait because I'm gonna need

209
00:09:45,799 --> 00:09:48,720
you to get a small for if you're if you're

210
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,919
inclined to to smoke or drink at ten thirty in

211
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,360
the morning, I'm gonna let you do that.

212
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't endorse it. I don't certainly want you to

213
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,200
do overcompensate and do too much of it. Okay, but

214
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,080
there is a Dan Graziano story out there that's going

215
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:10,720
to melt your minds about the Texans. Great, So get

216
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:13,159
at that going on. Did you watch any of the

217
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:18,559
NBC basketball last night? I did not that basketball double header.

218
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,279
You know what, I have to get a better grasp

219
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,960
and I'll honestly, the NBA needs to do this too.

220
00:10:23,279 --> 00:10:25,320
I used to know, as we were talking about this,

221
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,320
like it's NBA on T on T on Thursdays. It

222
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:31,679
was ESPN on Wednesdays. Like I had the calendar. I

223
00:10:31,759 --> 00:10:35,480
don't know what the hell's going on with the calendar now. Yeah, well,

224
00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:37,879
first of all, they've done the NBA has done a

225
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,000
terrible job of pushing it.

226
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 3: I know they put little mentions out there.

227
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:46,279
Speaker 1: They should do this on every social medium over and

228
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,759
over and over again because the schedule is so inconsistent.

229
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,679
This sound and I package your games just popped up

230
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,840
and it was a big deal for NBC. That's part

231
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,080
of the reason why I don't even hear about it

232
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,600
and I follow it should show up in my four

233
00:10:57,639 --> 00:11:01,600
youtab I follow NBA accounts, mostly followed the NBA, and

234
00:11:01,919 --> 00:11:04,759
I know it was a huge doubleheader with the Lakers

235
00:11:04,799 --> 00:11:07,639
against the Knicks and then it was the thunder at

236
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:08,519
the Denver Nuggets.

237
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,039
Speaker 3: And they had a pregame show on yesterday which.

238
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:19,759
Speaker 1: Featured Carmelal Anthony, Vince Carter, oh, Tracy McGrady, and they

239
00:11:19,759 --> 00:11:22,559
had a special guest Kaitlyn Clark, and she was actually

240
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,240
pretty good and.

241
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,919
Speaker 3: It was just kind of just talking big school back.

242
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:26,039
Speaker 4: Oh.

243
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,879
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller was on there too. For some reason, Caitlyn

244
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,279
did a side eye to Reggie Miller and you're like,

245
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:37,279
what could she possibly have? He said that got Caitlin

246
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,159
Clark aside. So we'll tell you about that coming up

247
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:43,080
a little bit. So that's that to get to today,

248
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,279
ROSSI in San Francisco. You know, there are uncomfortable press

249
00:11:48,279 --> 00:11:51,000
conferences you have to have when you're CEOs of things.

250
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,720
You know, like let's say, let's say your company is

251
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:56,600
down eleven percent in profits or you've got the irs

252
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,000
coming after you, or the any sort of legal issue

253
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,679
you've been sued, and you have to and you're if

254
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,159
you're the leader of the company, you have to come

255
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,519
up and have these uncomfortable press conferences. Well, there's one

256
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,919
uncomfortable press conference per year in sports, and it's when

257
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Roger Goodell speaks to the media at the state of

258
00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:16,440
the NFL at the Super Bowl. This might be you know,

259
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,120
people complain about how much Roger Goodell makes, but he

260
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,960
because he's the fall guy for the thirty two owners,

261
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,519
so that that's easy to say. Right. Yes, he's going

262
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,360
to have a bunch of things to get to today

263
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,919
that's going to make him feel like, you know, I

264
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:30,799
earn my paycheck this week, and we'll discuss about some

265
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,840
of the things that could be causing him some aanks

266
00:12:32,879 --> 00:12:35,480
today as he meets with the national media. If you

267
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,759
would like to join our show today, and we certainly

268
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,840
invite you to do so. Again, it's not the most

269
00:12:39,919 --> 00:12:42,279
piping hot sports week. We do have a super Bowl

270
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:45,600
coming up. But I'm gonna just I know you guys,

271
00:12:45,639 --> 00:12:48,080
because we're family here, I know the Houston sports market.

272
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:49,679
We'll be doing it a long time. I don't think

273
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,000
you're getting into a deep dive conversation of the Patriots

274
00:12:53,039 --> 00:12:56,000
tight ends versus the linebackers that may cover them for

275
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,840
the Seahawks. I mean, we can do that if you want,

276
00:12:57,879 --> 00:12:59,799
but I don't feel like that's a primary goal of

277
00:12:59,799 --> 00:13:02,360
the sh show this week. So uh, if we've got

278
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:03,480
a right of little things to get to and I

279
00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:04,919
want to get to it. But again at ten thirty

280
00:13:04,919 --> 00:13:06,759
this morning, coming up the next in the second segment

281
00:13:06,799 --> 00:13:10,080
of the show. Third segment, a very uncomfortable piece of

282
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,679
commentary has come from an ESPN NFL writer. Will tell

283
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000
you about that as well. Seven one three two one

284
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:17,240
two five seven nine zero is how you reach our

285
00:13:17,279 --> 00:13:20,879
show seven one three two one two five seven ninety

286
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,759
Rockets and Pacers tonight. We'll get to that as well

287
00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:24,440
throughout the course of the show. We have to tell

288
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,840
the truth that he was at noon and believe it

289
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:27,759
or not, all on a busy Monday. It is a

290
00:13:27,759 --> 00:13:30,879
Matt Thomas Joel Ross here in Indianapolis on Sports Talk

291
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,480
seven ninety and again reminding you of the wee can

292
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,600
doo we welcome to college call mark the show today

293
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,000
at seven one three two one two five seven ninety

294
00:13:38,039 --> 00:13:39,600
whatever he's on your mind, if not. Ross and Alpen

295
00:13:39,639 --> 00:13:43,679
sit back, relaxed, talking sports pontificate life here on the show.

296
00:13:43,799 --> 00:13:46,600
A couple of the NBA notes All Star Game announcements

297
00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:51,200
were made yesterday for reserves Kevin durant In Alprin schengoon

298
00:13:51,399 --> 00:13:54,120
out my first blush response to that sports however, he

299
00:13:54,279 --> 00:13:57,200
was good. His ankles one hundred percent. He is shot

300
00:13:57,279 --> 00:14:00,000
woefully in the last three games. He needs some downtime.

301
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,039
I'm all for him not playing. Yeah, myself as well.

302
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,639
I think the production has been down as of late

303
00:14:07,879 --> 00:14:10,519
and this shouldn't be shocking. But many on Rockets Twitter

304
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,519
upset with him. But you have to have the context.

305
00:14:13,519 --> 00:14:15,159
As you mentioned, he came back. It was supposed to

306
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,840
be like a They thought it was gonna be a

307
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:19,360
multi week ankle injury. He came back. Was it five days,

308
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,600
right or something like that, So a lot sooner than

309
00:14:21,679 --> 00:14:23,440
was supposed to be for sure. So he's out there,

310
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,600
he's gutting it out. As you said, it's the middle

311
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,919
of the season. He's playing fairly well considering the fact

312
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,639
that he has been dealing with an ankle injury, and

313
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:35,720
box scorer watchers don't like that context. But it's true,

314
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,480
and he needs as absolutely as you say. He needs

315
00:14:39,519 --> 00:14:43,080
the All Star break in the worst way. And ross

316
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,559
maybe it's just because I'm becoming older and I don't

317
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,039
want to be that older guy. But I mean, that's

318
00:14:49,039 --> 00:14:53,919
how life works. I despise All Star stuff. The Pro

319
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,200
Bowl Game, the Flying Football Game is tomorrow night in

320
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440
San Francisco. This All Star is when they're doing three

321
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,320
No you see, I'm giving you breaking news. There are

322
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,840
three All Star teams of five. I don't even know

323
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,519
what the hell the NBA is doing, and I don't

324
00:15:09,519 --> 00:15:12,120
particularly care. I am going to stay you and I'll

325
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:14,879
be busy down in Florida, but I don't care, and

326
00:15:14,919 --> 00:15:18,960
it just irritates me. There's nothing to fix the All

327
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Star Game. You can give them five million dollars apiece.

328
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:24,240
You can make them go on one leg. You can

329
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:27,960
do international versus usay, you can do a horse contest.

330
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 3: I don't care what you do. I hate it, and

331
00:15:31,799 --> 00:15:32,759
I love the NBA.

332
00:15:33,159 --> 00:15:35,639
Speaker 1: You are listening to someone right now that loves the

333
00:15:35,759 --> 00:15:38,519
NBA and I hate the All Star Game. Well, I

334
00:15:38,519 --> 00:15:41,000
don't see a reason to hate it. Just don't watch it.

335
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,559
But also, I guess the USA versus the world has

336
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,399
me somewhat intrigued. And also the fact that Wenby said

337
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,879
he's gonna play really hard. Maybe I'll try to body

338
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:53,519
in the court again and break every bone and his

339
00:15:53,559 --> 00:15:56,120
elbows and riggage. We don't want him to do that,

340
00:15:56,279 --> 00:15:58,399
but we do. We don't.

341
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:00,879
Speaker 3: I don't want him to be now I'm gonna get hurt.

342
00:16:00,919 --> 00:16:03,039
Speaker 1: But if he gets like a small samd also, hey,

343
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:04,879
it's out of my control if he gets hurt, and

344
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:07,759
it allows the Rockets to climb up standings. It is

345
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,320
what it is. It is what it is. What teas

346
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,240
Way Rockets are climbing up, getting closer to that two

347
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,759
spot san Antonio. Oh man, they'd be even closer if

348
00:16:16,759 --> 00:16:18,080
they could have beat him and that collapsed in the

349
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,960
fourth quarter. Hey, hey, we can't win every game, Rose,

350
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,679
would they be time of them or no? No, they'd

351
00:16:22,759 --> 00:16:25,399
be no. All right, one more thing before we get

352
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,000
to some callers in this in this NFL story about

353
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,960
the Texans, So I mentioned last night I was watching

354
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,639
Sunday Night NBA, and I think NBAC has done a

355
00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:37,320
fantastic job. They do a great job on football. They

356
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,720
give a damn about basketball. People just don't remember it.

357
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,679
But they do do a really nice job. There were

358
00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:43,480
two problems with it, and I'm gonna give the lesser

359
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:47,200
of the two. First. So, at halftime of the second

360
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:52,440
game between Oklahoma City and Denver, they went to Maria Taylor,

361
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,000
who's the host of the show, and she was on

362
00:16:54,159 --> 00:16:56,799
the set at the at Madison Square Garden with McGrady

363
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,000
and Vince Carter and Carmel Anthony, and they were talking

364
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,799
about All Star snubs and all this was live or tape,

365
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,400
It doesn't really matter what it was. Maria's like, man,

366
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,680
who do you guys think are snubs? And they brought

367
00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:13,880
up one player I can't remember, somebody from Toronto forgot

368
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,440
They wanted to they wanted to get him in there,

369
00:17:15,559 --> 00:17:16,640
and they said there was somebody else.

370
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:17,079
Speaker 3: She had two.

371
00:17:17,839 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: None of the three guys knew remembered who they forgot about.

372
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,960
The thought was being snubbed. You're on national television at halftime,

373
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,000
she throws you a question that you already knew was coming,

374
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:30,480
and you didn't have the answer right off the top

375
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:33,839
of your head. That's pretty much I thought it was.

376
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,039
It goes to what those guys don't do, and they

377
00:17:37,039 --> 00:17:39,960
don't prep for their job. They're basically getting their job

378
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,079
because of name and their greatness as a player. And

379
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,200
I look at a lot of those guys get those jobs.

380
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,640
But it was a softball question and it was like

381
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,799
ten seconds of awkward silence because none of the three

382
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:52,880
guys remember who the second snub was. That's horribly true.

383
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,880
It was horrible, but that wasn't the worst part of

384
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,640
the night. So Caitlin Clark is on this pregame show

385
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,279
and I'm doing it a couple times, and she was

386
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,400
very good. She I like her a lot. I'm not

387
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,000
a huge fan of WNBA. I mean, I might down

388
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:08,720
the road if the team gets why Houston's we can

389
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:09,559
actually care about it.

390
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: But she's she was really pretty good on this thing.

391
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: So it was her And I want to say Carmelo

392
00:18:18,039 --> 00:18:23,599
or somebody and Reggie Miller on this set and Maria says, hey, Reggie,

393
00:18:23,839 --> 00:18:27,400
who's your comp on who Caitlyn Clark is in the NBA.

394
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:31,240
That go have variety different directions, but needless to say,

395
00:18:31,319 --> 00:18:34,519
Ross is not. Caitlyn Clark probably the most talented and

396
00:18:34,599 --> 00:18:37,279
certainly the most recognizable player in the WNBA correct currently

397
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,960
most recognizable. Now, she didn't play a whole lot lesser.

398
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,039
She battled injuries, but you know when her rookie year,

399
00:18:43,079 --> 00:18:46,440
she was fantastic. Yeah, I think Asia Wilson seems to win.

400
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,480
Who's winning the MVP every year? Isn't it Asia Wilson

401
00:18:48,559 --> 00:18:51,759
or something like that? Your guess as good as mine. Sure,

402
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:53,880
why not? We have four time MVP. We'll go with

403
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,440
Ajia Wilson as the most talented. So Reggie says, hmm,

404
00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:09,160
I'll go with the Celtics Peyton Prichard. What That's what

405
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,119
America did not that Peyton Pritchard is not a fine

406
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,720
NBA basketball player and certainly has elevated his game as

407
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:20,240
a score and it's an outside threat. But you're Reggie

408
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:23,920
Miller and you are traveling on his NBA streets, and

409
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:27,720
the best comp you can come up with for Caitlin

410
00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:37,039
Clark a generational franchise lead changing player is Peyton Prichard. Hey, No,

411
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,799
Peyton Pritcher's having a good year. He's having a great year.

412
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,119
But if Peyton Pritchard walk into a grocery store in Houston,

413
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,559
Texas and got in the line and the woman says,

414
00:19:47,559 --> 00:19:49,640
how are you doing, sir, And he says great, And

415
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,920
the woman says, what do you do for living?

416
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 3: What is your name?

417
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: Peyton?

418
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 3: What's your name? My name is Peyton Pritchard. She'd go,

419
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,160
what do you do for living?

420
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,039
Speaker 1: Peyton Prichard? I mean he's known in Boston, but not

421
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,839
many now other places. Yes, that is just like I

422
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,359
heard that comp I'm like, are you kidding me, Peyton Pritchard? MM,

423
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:13,759
I just and so she side eyed him. She didn't

424
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:15,119
mean to, but you need to go look at the

425
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,559
video of it. It's hysterical. She's like, I am I'm

426
00:20:20,559 --> 00:20:24,440
getting chartered planes in full arenas and television revenues, and

427
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,839
we're about to go on strike because of what I've

428
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,200
been able to bring the league and you just call

429
00:20:28,279 --> 00:20:34,680
me Peyton Pritchard of the WNBA. That's pretty bad. It was, Well,

430
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,079
Reggie Miller not knowing ball, We'll be shocking Miller the

431
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,599
number one analyst at NBC. So let's see. She averaged

432
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,119
sixteen point five points per game last year. He averaged

433
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,759
sixteen point eight this year. Wait, maybe Reggie's onto something,

434
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,359
Maybe he is, Maybe she is. Richard does ball? WNBA

435
00:20:52,559 --> 00:20:54,440
comes to the Peyton Pritchard of the WNBA in a

436
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960
game near you? She only she only shot was she

437
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,279
heard a lot. I guess right, last year she was. Yeah,

438
00:20:59,319 --> 00:21:02,160
her rookie is really good. She's got thirty seven percent

439
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,480
from the field last year. Come on, I don't know

440
00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:07,960
that Is that terrible for WNB standards though, Matt, No,

441
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,000
I'm serious in asking Question's not terrible. I think. I mean,

442
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,559
I'm gonna assume there's very few point shooters in the

443
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,799
WNBAMM don't look it up. Don't know. I did. Mostly everybody's.

444
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:23,440
The worst team in basketball was the Connecticuts. On that

445
00:21:23,519 --> 00:21:25,960
as a team, they shot forty one percent as a

446
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,240
team from three No, no, no, I'm sorry, from the from

447
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,440
the uh yeah, the field. I was talking about three

448
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,519
point range. Oh, from the from the field. As a league,

449
00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:34,880
they averaged thirty three point eight percent. That's not bad.

450
00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:38,839
NBA is like thirty six. Yeah, it's not dramatically different.

451
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,039
All right, let's go to a phone call before we

452
00:21:41,079 --> 00:21:43,680
get to our NFL talk that you're gonna just go,

453
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,559
oh what Gary on seven ninety at ten to twenty eight, Gary,

454
00:21:47,559 --> 00:21:48,319
good morning.

455
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning guys. Can you hear me? All right?

456
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:51,279
Speaker 1: Yes?

457
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, these times they are rather slow. Right now,

458
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:58,200
when we've got a segment on the on the WNBA.

459
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,559
But that's what I was calling about. But minus a

460
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,039
w that game Saturday night, that was really a good game.

461
00:22:05,559 --> 00:22:09,000
I haven't had a chance to see that. Who's that

462
00:22:09,079 --> 00:22:13,000
rookie flag? See him play? Man so impressed. He's gonna

463
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,960
I don't know if he's gonna break all the records

464
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:17,680
or what he's gonna do, but he's gonna be the

465
00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:21,400
highest paid player when his time comes, and he's gonna man,

466
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:23,759
he's gonna make all the All Star games. He his

467
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:26,319
career is set by an injury. Of course, he is

468
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:31,359
really a great player. Really glad to see the Rockets win.

469
00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:34,279
They're really hard to beat at home. One thing I

470
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,519
wanted to mention because they had it was on I

471
00:22:37,519 --> 00:22:40,920
think count thirteen, I believe it was on and they

472
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,680
had Charles Barkley and his crew on there. And of

473
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,759
course Barkley he hates Houston because he thinks they screwed

474
00:22:47,839 --> 00:22:49,519
him out of some money back in the day, so

475
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:52,720
he hardly ever says anything good about Houston. But did

476
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:55,759
you hear it the post game what he said when

477
00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,599
they asked it was his turn to for him to

478
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,680
rate Houston as far as the playoffs and the title goes,

479
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:02,720
did you hear what he said?

480
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: No?

481
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, and he might have a point here,

482
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,440
and I kind of agree with him a little bit.

483
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,079
He said he doesn't put him in the elite. They

484
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,279
don't think they have a chance, and mainly because they

485
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:16,599
don't have a point guard. He said that Thompson is

486
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,279
doing a good job trying to be one, but in

487
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,480
not wear him down and he's out of position. So

488
00:23:22,559 --> 00:23:24,480
once they go to the playoffs and it becomes a

489
00:23:24,519 --> 00:23:27,519
slow down half court game, then that's when Houston will

490
00:23:27,519 --> 00:23:31,119
get overtook. So he'll never give Houston any props or anything,

491
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,279
but he might have a little point there. But I

492
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,000
just want to see what y'all thought about his comment there.

493
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,279
Speaker 1: Thanks Gary. It's it's frankly easy on the national scale,

494
00:23:40,319 --> 00:23:42,039
and we can do the same thing locally. Ross it's

495
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:43,920
easier to tell you why somebody's not gonna win something

496
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,839
that's fair to why they win because only one team

497
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,039
didn't wins, right. I mean, you could find flaws in

498
00:23:49,079 --> 00:23:51,279
every one of the thirty teams and you'll feel like

499
00:23:51,279 --> 00:23:52,160
you're right ninety.

500
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 3: Nine percent of the time because you arguing ninety percent correct.

501
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: It's the beauty of sports pundictry, punditry, and then you say,

502
00:23:58,559 --> 00:24:00,519
you say you're right for months and then you end

503
00:24:00,599 --> 00:24:03,160
up being wrong and then you say you're sorry, and

504
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,359
everybody moves on forgets about it. Yeah, I don't know. Uh,

505
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,920
that's why I don't. We don't do a lot of

506
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,599
prediction segments on this show because so if we get

507
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,519
it right, we're gonna overly brag, and then we get

508
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,920
it wrong on it's gonna forget we said it. That's

509
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,880
how that's how the national folks are. I mean, it'd

510
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,799
be easier. I mean, you go up and go give

511
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,920
Charles Barkley seven or eight teams. It's a lot easier

512
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,759
for him to tell you how somebody's not gonna win

513
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:27,119
as compared to why somebody is going to win. All right,

514
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,519
let's take a quick time out. We got a lot

515
00:24:28,559 --> 00:24:29,720
of folks that want to come in and say hello,

516
00:24:29,799 --> 00:24:32,079
and for that we thank you. We really appreciate you.

517
00:24:32,079 --> 00:24:34,319
Ten o'clocker as being a part of the Matt Thomas

ninety I'm going to read you parts of an ESPN

520
00:24:41,039 --> 00:24:45,519
NFL story about free agent or excuse me, current contracts

521
00:24:45,559 --> 00:24:48,759
for the Texans involving their two most high profile contracts.

522
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:49,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

523
00:24:50,279 --> 00:24:54,039

00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:17,559

531
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:23,480
and they playing with some bad bunny Matt Yeah, I

532
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,960
don't know his music. Congratulations is a bad bunny for

533
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,799
Album of the Year at the Grammys last night. Should

534
00:25:29,799 --> 00:25:34,400
I download it? Sure? Why not? I guess I'm gonna

535
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,640
give it a try. Yeah, not my music. And also

536
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:42,000
congratulations to Kendrick Lamar for his three Grammy wins.

537
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,799
Speaker 3: He's a Barry Manilow of this generation. That's right, twenty.

538
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: Seven Grammy Award wins. It's a record for a rapper.

539
00:25:52,279 --> 00:25:55,640
He passed Jay Z. He's one short of Quincy Jones.

540
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,599
He is fifth on the All time Grammy Award winning

541
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:04,599
list all artists ever. Congratulations and Kendrick Lamar, Yes, congratulations him,

542
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,720
Very proud for him. All right, back at it, Dad

543
00:26:08,759 --> 00:26:12,960
Graziano does five teams about contract extensions and just picked

544
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,160
I'm always doing five at a time, where he just

545
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,799
happened to pick five. One of the five teams he

546
00:26:16,839 --> 00:26:20,359
brought up was the Houston Texans. Okay, And the two

547
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,440
key extension candidates this year are, of course c J.

548
00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:25,559
Stroud and Will Anderson Junior. What do the little what

549
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,519
are the easy one? First? Will Anderson twelve sacks season,

550
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,599
one of the best defensive players in the NFL, He

551
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,799
was a third pick in the twenty twenty three draft,

552
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,839
Defensive Rookie of the Year, all this kind of stuff,

553
00:26:36,839 --> 00:26:40,640
and he has been everything as advertised. Now Micah Parsons

554
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,680
we talked about last week. ROSSI is at forty six

555
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,599
and a half million dollars a year, and then you

556
00:26:45,759 --> 00:26:49,519
have what Hutchinson for the Lions is what at forty five?

557
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,039
Speaker 3: What that's TJ not JJ forty one million dollars a year.

558
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Then the Garrett at forty million dollars Okay, So it

559
00:26:58,319 --> 00:27:01,519
sounds like to me that Will Anderson, according to Dan Graziano,

560
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:07,960
believes that Will's gonna be in that forty million dollar club. Okay,

561
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,240
whether he gets to Micah Parsons level, they don't know, because,

562
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,680
as you talked about a few days ago, that contract

563
00:27:13,799 --> 00:27:17,359
just completely will put the whole past gal out of whack. Yeah,

564
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,240
but the anticipation is, according to Dan Graziano, that uh,

565
00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:25,920
the Anderson will sign a four year contract one hundred

566
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,920
and seventy six million dollars with one hundred and twenty

567
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,880
one of that guaranteed in signing Aiden Hutchinson was around,

568
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,039
was a four point eighty or one any five? I think?

569
00:27:34,079 --> 00:27:36,519
Does it say that? Yeah, it doesn't say in this story. Okay,

570
00:27:36,839 --> 00:27:39,960
all right, so four years, one to seventy six? What

571
00:27:40,079 --> 00:27:40,799
is that? Set's?

572
00:27:42,079 --> 00:27:44,319
Speaker 3: Forty four year basically? Am I right about that?

573
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: For sure? Three somewhere in that range. Okay, now let's

574
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,480
get to CJ. So yeah, that would be I think

575
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,200
Hutchinson was forty five. I don't think he's gonna want

576
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,279
I don't think he's gonna get worse than a Hutchinson deal. No,

577
00:27:55,519 --> 00:27:57,279
And look, the Texans have always taken care of their

578
00:27:57,279 --> 00:28:00,319
first rounders. Yeah, and good second rounders two. I mean,

579
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,160
Petrie and Stingley have been well taken care of, and

580
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,279
Nico Collins for that matter too. All Right, so we

581
00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:08,319
got now the Texans one, and there's a big story

582
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,119
about what do you do about CJ? And how do

583
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,559
you know? Do you how much money do you want

584
00:28:13,559 --> 00:28:15,319
to spend on him? And how much do you want

585
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,960
to spend on a guy that had two horrific postseason games.

586
00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:22,640
So reading this story, and I don't need to tell

587
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,920
you about what is in there because it's all the

588
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,920
stuff that you've seen over the course of the last

589
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:31,400
month or so. The prediction that Dan Grasiano has four

590
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:36,519
year contract for CJ. Stroud two hundred and twenty four

591
00:28:36,599 --> 00:28:40,519
million dollars, one hundred and ten million dollars guaranteed a

592
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,880
sign this offseason, i'd presume. So I don't think you're

593
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:51,279
talking about next season. Yeah, So the next two years,

594
00:28:52,119 --> 00:28:54,079
the last two years of the rookie contract would be

595
00:28:54,119 --> 00:28:56,160
years four and five. The total amount of money the

596
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,160
Texans would be spending on c J. Strowd will be

597
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,000
thirty two million dollars. It's like just shy of six

598
00:29:01,039 --> 00:29:06,200
this year and just over twenty six in year five.

599
00:29:07,599 --> 00:29:10,400
So fifty eight, that's fifty eight a million. You know,

600
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:13,599
I'm sorry, no, fifty six if you're taking four about

601
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,279
it by two twenty four. Yeah, one hundred and ten

602
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,559
million guaranteed at signing fifty six million a year would

603
00:29:20,599 --> 00:29:23,240
be more than Trevor Lawrence Jordan. It'd be more than

604
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:31,519
everyone but Dak Prescott. Correct. Now, here's the question is

605
00:29:31,519 --> 00:29:34,240
is Dan Garziana doing this because he's a legitimate NFL

606
00:29:34,279 --> 00:29:38,160
writer or is he trying to get into the good

607
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,680
graces of David Mulagett. I don't know that. I mean,

608
00:29:41,759 --> 00:29:43,839
Nick Cassario is not reading this article, so I don't

609
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,680
I don't think so. I would imagine. I guarantee you

610
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:49,960
he's reading the article. There's no way. Yeah you see

611
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:52,279
this the PR Department, Oh there was somebody send it

612
00:29:52,279 --> 00:29:53,839
to him. But it's not like, yeah, he's king out,

613
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,920
so he's not seeking That doesn't necessarily mean he's like,

614
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,400
you know what, Dan Garziano's making some good points, right,

615
00:29:58,839 --> 00:30:02,519
But no, I guarantee you, Nikky see this morning when

616
00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:03,960
he got to his desk and they have the clips

617
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,160
of everything that the word Texas Evolved, has this story

618
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:12,039
in front of him. So just I want you know again,

619
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,440
we don't think about this money situation because we're not

620
00:30:15,559 --> 00:30:17,440
Solar Cat. People want out the general manager of the team.

621
00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:20,000
And frankly, when you win a Super Bowl, we don't

622
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,720
care what we pay our players because we won a

623
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,839
Super Bowl. But you're gonna put him in beyond rarefied

624
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:33,240
air for a guy who is looking to make north

625
00:30:33,279 --> 00:30:41,200
of fifty five million dollars a year. Oh lord, if

626
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:46,039
he doesn't pan out ross that doesn't annihilate your franchise,

627
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,839
but it hampers you badly. Would be in I mean

628
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,279
that's what let's think of the ones that pay you

629
00:30:53,319 --> 00:30:57,319
would be in Arizona Cardinals territory. Yes, New York Giants territory.

630
00:30:57,359 --> 00:30:59,839
Because they were talking about Kyler Marine down, Kyler Murray,

631
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,279
Daniel Jones. I'm trying to think of who else got

632
00:31:02,279 --> 00:31:04,960
paid and it really didn't work out recently. Well, I

633
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,920
mean you could say this, I mean, Jacksonville was really

634
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,920
good last year, but the early portions of the Trevor

635
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,400
Lawrence money hasn't paid out for them. That's true, but

636
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,440
they got him a great play caller and a better

637
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,599
offensive line and run game and weapons, and look what

638
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,920
happened they still bounce in the first round. Yeah, but

639
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,920
they they're still a much better football team. And no, yeah,

640
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,759
there's no doubts about Trevor Lawrence being a potential you know,

641
00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:30,119
at least their franchise quarterback. He's not all time a

642
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,680
leader or anything, but he's looking a lot better. Funny

643
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:40,519
how that works. So I was just curious when I

644
00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:42,359
gave you that number, did you cough like I did?

645
00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:48,039
Fifty six million? Yere seems insane, but it seems right

646
00:31:48,079 --> 00:31:50,000
because the cat keeps going up and it's gonna keep

647
00:31:50,039 --> 00:31:52,039
going up. That's why you're always like this guy reset

648
00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:53,920
the market, and that guy reset the market, and this

649
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,519
guy's getting this deal because it's all about timing of

650
00:31:56,559 --> 00:31:59,440
when you get paid. Because Will Anderson's gonna get paid

651
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,599
more than Miles Garrett. And we love Will Anderson. He's

652
00:32:01,599 --> 00:32:04,720
not better than Miles Garrett. And we love Will Anderson

653
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:06,960
for his value, But defensive ends don't get the same

654
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,319
as about us quarterbacks. Quarterbacks get the number one salary

655
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,720
usually yeared in year out. Yeah, forty million year is

656
00:32:13,759 --> 00:32:17,160
not bad, though he's not u oh no, picking crumbs

657
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,160
out of the couch. No, no, no, no, he's not

658
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,440
looking for buy one, get one free day. I am

659
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,359
we all are. I just saw that stat and I'm like,

660
00:32:28,079 --> 00:32:31,400
what's is Gratziana just trying to be a realist and saying, hey, Houston,

661
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,519
get ready? Or is he saying this is what Mullagut

662
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:36,039
is whispering to me? And I need to put that

663
00:32:36,039 --> 00:32:37,960
out there because I not kind of know what he wants.

664
00:32:38,799 --> 00:32:40,839
Because I guarantee you, nikkiy See, ain't thinking about this

665
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,400
kind of money. I don't think they are, honestly. I

666
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,640
mean you'd have to probably, you'd you'd probably start at

667
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:53,359
fifty fifty a year is around Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson,

668
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:55,640
Herbert Goff is making fifty three.

669
00:32:59,359 --> 00:33:01,119
Speaker 3: That Rossie I can.

670
00:33:02,599 --> 00:33:07,559
Speaker 1: I cannot think of a worse pr move this offseason

671
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,559
than for the Texans that re signed CJ. Start at

672
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:13,359
this crazy number and stay with me on this and

673
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,799
you can think I'm nuts. Just tell me, Matt shut up. Okay,

674
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,079
this is the off season where they're going to start

675
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:24,319
talking about refurbishing NRG. Put this in dumb this down

676
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,720
to its lowest common denominator. You're giving a mid quarterback

677
00:33:28,839 --> 00:33:32,240
fifty million dollars a year, and then you're asking for

678
00:33:32,279 --> 00:33:35,839
public money to help refurbish the stadium. You know, pf

679
00:33:36,079 --> 00:33:39,400
out out. You know what's funny is my initial reaction

680
00:33:39,519 --> 00:33:42,440
was to try and fight you on mid but I can't.

681
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,839
Seven it makes me sad. He's around like telling you

682
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:50,160
when you go to barbershops. Okay, yes, this is what

683
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,359
barbershops talk about. Okay, we don't get into deep weeds

684
00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:58,160
of conversation about how players are good value or salary cap.

685
00:33:58,359 --> 00:34:01,359
They get to does it? Mc marriage just ask for

686
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,200
public money and they're giving CJ stroud to fifty million

687
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:08,679
dollars a year. That's that's what the barbershops talk about. Well,

688
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,559
you got to fill out the cab somehow, yeah, but

689
00:34:11,599 --> 00:34:16,199
they ever. But but the barbershop don't know that the

690
00:34:16,199 --> 00:34:18,320
barbershops is gonna want to make sure Will Anderson gets paid.

691
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,079
The barbershop is gonna want to make sure that Neil,

692
00:34:21,119 --> 00:34:26,119
the Neil Hunter doesn't go away. Right, Yes, just you

693
00:34:26,119 --> 00:34:29,079
shouldn't run your organization on what the barbershop's talking about.

694
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,840
I know. But you're gonna need public support for facility

695
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:40,000
and upgrades. And that's why you have to probably tell

696
00:34:40,079 --> 00:34:43,000
CJ we'll take care of you. Bra be our ah

697
00:34:43,159 --> 00:34:47,559
bra or br b our uh and but we just

698
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:50,440
need we just need some time. And then he's gonna say,

699
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,880
wait a minute, you're giving Will Anderson his money, why

700
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,800
don't you give me my money? And then you have

701
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,159
that uncomplle conversation. I don't think it's I think CJ.

702
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,360
Shroud knows Daily Mugeta has to know, they have to

703
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,199
see these meet I don't think David mel Gotta knows.

704
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,320
He does, he's seeing these memes. Come on, sure, yes,

705
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,000
maybe we should started sending him. Does he have a Twitter

706
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,519
account which is like four to he does, He's he's fair,

707
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:11,159
He used to be fairly active on it. I don't

708
00:35:11,159 --> 00:35:14,239
think he is anymore. All right, just throwing it out there.

709
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,320
We'll go to the phones. Next.

710
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: Our time is a ten forty three.

00:35:30,679 --> 00:35:34,960
up today at eleven thirty, I will have three truths

717
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,199

00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,039
So how many things. Am I not telling the truth

00:35:41,039 --> 00:35:46,920
about Jonathan? Oh no, there you go, right, three truths

720
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:51,159
one lie on to tell the truth today at eleven thirty,

721
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,199
and I've already written these up. And I really think

722
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:55,760
at the end of the day, if you don't get this,

723
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,519
especially you John Thin, because you don't bat nearly as

724
00:35:58,559 --> 00:36:01,559
good as Ross does. Uh, you got no chance. Hold on,

725
00:36:01,599 --> 00:36:03,280
I'm up on the year. It's two one. Oh, it

726
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,480
is two to one one. Come up, I stand correct

727
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,400
the Ross. If you don't get this, we're doing great. Jovan,

728
00:36:09,519 --> 00:36:12,559
all right, seven one three two one two five, seven ninety.

729
00:36:12,639 --> 00:36:15,440
Let's talk to our buddy Roger on seven hinting of

730
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,440
the Matt Thomas oil Ross from Indianapolis.

731
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 6: Elo Roger, I had good morning, guys, good afternoon, whatever

732
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,079
it is ten, good morning all right? So uh uh yeah,

733
00:36:26,079 --> 00:36:28,880
I'm getting a little pissed about this. You know, generational

734
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,599
talent we spread around Texas except for Houston. Uh So tonight,

735
00:36:33,599 --> 00:36:35,480
I forot to expect the Rockets to get body walk

736
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:38,360
by the Indian Pass just because that's just what they

737
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,000
do against lower lower teams. They just they just lay

738
00:36:41,039 --> 00:36:43,559
down and take it. That's what they did. We love them.

739
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:47,559
But that's what they are. Uh so, yeah, I just

740
00:36:47,599 --> 00:36:50,599
hate the fact that, you know, here comes Dallas again.

741
00:36:50,679 --> 00:36:53,960
They got Cooper Flag generational talent, they gave away Jedi

742
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,360
Brds another generations, South gave away Luca generational talent, and

743
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,320
before that they had dirt. So yeah, same thing with

744
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,559
the Spurs. You know, Duncan Robinson and jenob Lee Park

745
00:37:05,639 --> 00:37:07,920
we all know about him, you know. And you know

746
00:37:08,079 --> 00:37:11,000
Houston has a day which is the lad Jiwan. You

747
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,199
know we we had yeah, but yes it is David

748
00:37:13,199 --> 00:37:16,800
Bowie reokquick Lever or Bowie of Sambui. He turned into

749
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,880
Zambouli and then he got into that gets it. Uh

750
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,719
So you know we had to trade for McGrady, who

751
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:24,960
the generals, who's pretty much damage goods when we got here,

752
00:37:25,559 --> 00:37:27,800
uh you know a couple of years in. But it's

753
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,320
just I'm when when's our turn again? Winds our turn?

754
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,280
I'm waiting for our turn, Matt. But yeah, and if

755
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,119
I get bum wong about tonight, then and we got

756
00:37:36,159 --> 00:37:37,519
the I'm sorry later on the leak.

757
00:37:38,039 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: All right, so let me get this right, Rogers upset.

758
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,239
We don't have generational players in our town. Let's see,

759
00:37:48,559 --> 00:37:53,039
do we call it does James harden count absolutely very

760
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:55,639
much the prime of his NBA curer very much. He

761
00:37:55,679 --> 00:37:58,519
won an MVP. He was a sixth man in Oklahoma

762
00:37:58,519 --> 00:38:05,880
City and came a megastar for a decade. Give or tick. Yes,

763
00:38:07,599 --> 00:38:09,960
you went and got Justin Verlander and helped you win

764
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:16,760
two World Series, especially one. Yes, you wouldn't got Garrett Cole. You,

765
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,719
I mean, stop stop feeling sorry. I love you, Roger,

766
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:27,039
but stop feeling sorry for yourselves. That's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.

767
00:38:27,039 --> 00:38:30,119
I mean, Josel tuv is one of the greatest, especially

768
00:38:30,159 --> 00:38:32,719
for his size, talents and baseball history, in the.

769
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: History of the sport. We're doing okay.

770
00:38:35,679 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: Not every city is supposed to win four championships per sport.

771
00:38:40,599 --> 00:38:43,079
Go ass to trade. Be nice if they ain't feeling great,

772
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:46,679
be nice if we want more, Well, every city's saying that.

773
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:54,000
How thek Atlanta's film right now? They got one beat

774
00:38:54,039 --> 00:38:58,599
our astro sadly, fal Can suck. Hawk Hawks suck. They

775
00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:05,039
lost our hockey team twice. Look, okay, we're doing better Atlanta,

776
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,360
Yeah sucking Atlanta. Yeah, I mean, how are our friends

777
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:12,280
in uh, Let's see who another city that's got Oh, Phoenix.

778
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,599
How's Phoenix feeling these days? County's left suns aren't any good? Well,

779
00:39:16,599 --> 00:39:21,079
they're better this year Cardinals below the d Backs lost

780
00:39:21,079 --> 00:39:23,599
the damn Rangers in the war their one World Series. Hope.

781
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,280
All right, I'm pulling up what cities were doing better

782
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:34,440
than major the four major American sports with NHL count counted. Okay,

783
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,880
one and two, you should be able to get actually one, two,

784
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:44,519
three or four? New York, Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago. No

785
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,559
coincidence on those. Houston at twenty second with four. Yeah,

786
00:39:49,599 --> 00:39:53,719
we're ti tied with Indianapolis. Oh, they've only got two

787
00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:00,480
teams head of Milwaukee. They've got the count green Bay

788
00:40:00,559 --> 00:40:02,480
is a team. Yeah, they have deady. Yeah, Green Bay's

789
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:07,639
got thirteen championships. So come on, Okay, let's see. We're

790
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:11,480
worse than San Antonio, worse than Dallas. Dallas has nine.

791
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:17,639
We'll be fine.

792
00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,760
Speaker 3: We're beating Rally. Rally's only got one.

793
00:40:21,079 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 1: Suck it Rally, Raleigh, Raleigh whatever, Rochester, Rochester's got one

794
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,360
the Rochester Royals back in the day.

795
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 3: Are we better than Tampa Bay Buccaneers won.

796
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,199
Speaker 1: We're worse than Tampa Bay. Well, because the Lighting have

797
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:43,079
three oh jeez, Okay, we're fine. Remember sports is about disappointment.

798
00:40:43,159 --> 00:40:49,960
Behind Cincinnati all right, behind Kansas City, Oh, behind Minneapolis. Ouch,

799
00:40:50,519 --> 00:40:53,760
that's because they're counting the Minneapolis Lakers though. Yeah yeah,

800
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:58,719
see everywhere. This this little poll you got going is whatever.

801
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,559
Speaker 3: We don't have a hockey team, Okay.

802
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,559
Speaker 1: San Antonio only has one, and they're ahead of us.

803
00:41:04,039 --> 00:41:07,599
Man calls, got a lot of calls, a lot of

804
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,880
Greg Papavia just beat the hell out of those officials

805
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,800
to give them calls. And they claim the Dallas ones

806
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:20,119
probably so the fans are happier. Denver's kicking our ass.

807
00:41:21,519 --> 00:41:31,119
Miami's got nine. M Orlando, Uh, Orlando's not even this list,

808
00:41:31,119 --> 00:41:41,320
so they have zero zero. Okay, we're behind Cleveland. What

809
00:41:41,519 --> 00:41:44,519
because of the Cavalier. I think they're counting like Cleveland

810
00:41:44,559 --> 00:41:48,079
Brown's like nineteen fifty five championships.

811
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, get out this.

812
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,519
Speaker 1: List, Saint Louis, because the Cardinals have eleven by themselves.

813
00:41:54,079 --> 00:41:58,599
All right, we're doing just fine. Houston Texans are going

814
00:41:58,639 --> 00:42:01,239
to get us the super Bowl someday. It's biggest city,

815
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,559
twenty second in championships. Not great. Well, it's a lot

816
00:42:04,559 --> 00:42:08,679

Speaker 3: Uh speaking of a little baseball here, Rossie.

Oh do you believe it already? Let's call production value. Yeah,

825
00:42:31,559 --> 00:42:34,360
I'm working on it, all right. I looked to the calendar.

00:42:34,519 --> 00:42:37,039
I'm starting to pitch in. Good for you. We have

827

Jim Bowden guess in front of the show, right, ROSSI

Jim Bowden front of the show? Sure went on with

830
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,960
an off season scorecard on the Astros twenty twenty six

831
00:42:51,079 --> 00:42:56,199
off season. Now, I'm going to preface this by saying,

832
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,800
Jim Bowden used to employ Dana Brown back in the day.

833
00:43:01,119 --> 00:43:04,519
Did he like the Astros offseason? We'll talk about that next.

834
00:43:04,519 --> 00:43:08,000
Than is the Matt Thomas Show with.

00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,280
especially welcoming those of you that at eleven o'clock is

841
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:30,880
gonna be out for early lunch. Come on and be

842
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,719
a part of the program against seven one three two

843
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,679
one two five seven NINTI. Headline today out of Indianapols

844
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:37,559
where I am tonight for the Rockets and the Pacers,

845
00:43:38,039 --> 00:43:40,119
is that Kevin Durant is out with a bad ankle.

846
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,480
Hopefully it's precautionary. I have not heard whether it's serious

847
00:43:43,519 --> 00:43:45,559
or not. I would deem it's not going to be

848
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,840
and frankly, we can't be rude, but we're gonna be

849
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,559
rude for the sake of the show. Ross. It's the

850
00:43:50,599 --> 00:43:54,400
Indiana Pacers only five and a half blood favorites right

851
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:00,000
now the Rockets. That's not that meaty Matthew. Well, thankfully,

852
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:01,840
I'm not betting on the game, Ross, I know you're not,

853
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:04,199
but interesting getting to give you an idea. All it

854
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:06,239
takes is one point to win, one point better than

855
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:10,599
the Nana Pacers, and it's a Rockets win. Many they

856
00:44:10,639 --> 00:44:12,159
lost it. I think there were thirteen and a half

857
00:44:12,199 --> 00:44:15,199
point favorites against the Kings, and I was saying, I'm

858
00:44:15,199 --> 00:44:15,840
a little wary.

859
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: How was that line against Atlanta and we went there

860
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,280
in a back to back Oh.

861
00:44:20,119 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: I think it was around five and a half as well,

862
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:24,719
and they won. They crushed him.

863
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:28,119
Speaker 3: You like, use some Jay Shawn Tata, make get some tonight.

864
00:44:28,159 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. Jabari Smith Junior had five blocks and that it

865
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,119
was in the Hawks game, right, we had five blocks, yep,

866
00:44:32,119 --> 00:44:35,320
and he had three the following line against the Dallas Mavericks.

867
00:44:35,679 --> 00:44:36,639
Speaker 3: Speaking of Dallas.

868
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,119
Speaker 1: Okay, So Cooper Flag, for those of you that do

869
00:44:40,159 --> 00:44:41,800
not know, is in the first overall pick on last

870
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,840
years NBA draft. He put up forty nine earlier this

871
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,360
week in Charlotte, and what he finished with Rossi against

872
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,199
the Rockets like thirty fourth, thirty five. I want to

873
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,599
say thirty four, I can go. Look, yeah, thirty four

874
00:44:52,599 --> 00:44:56,400
to twelve rebounds as well. By the way, he's nineteen

875
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,880
years old. He's excellent. He and I mean there's captain

876
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,199
obvious statement of the day. I Rossie. I love him.

877
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,599
I'm not glove love him, but I love his game.

878
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,079
He's a baller. So he's six' nine mm. Hmm he

879
00:45:11,119 --> 00:45:14,280
can handle the. Basketball, Yes and because the fact that

Speaker 4: That.

909
00:47:11,679 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: Yeah from, That i'm sure he's. Kind he's been about

910
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,719
a five hundred coach in THE. NBA i want to, say,

911
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:19,679
right he's not really the coach that he was as a,

912
00:47:19,679 --> 00:47:22,000
player but he's been around for THE nba game for thirty.

913
00:47:22,039 --> 00:47:26,840
Years he's a player and a. Coach, yes taking two

914
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,719
teams in THE Nba, FINAL i want to, Say i'm

915
00:47:30,760 --> 00:47:34,440
trying to pull up the. Coaching he would take me

916
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,840
ten Time All. Star by the, way as a, player.

917
00:47:36,639 --> 00:47:38,679
Speaker 3: What the great one of the greatest point guards ever?

918
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 1: Period. Yeah. Period as a head, coach he is three

919
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,920
hundred and sixty two, wins three hundred and thirty nine.

920
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:49,960
Losses so. Above lost in the finals in twenty four With,

921
00:47:50,039 --> 00:47:52,599
luca and that's the only time he made the Finals

922
00:47:52,639 --> 00:47:57,599
conference finals With dallas as. Well, okay, well it's a

923
00:47:57,639 --> 00:48:02,239
slippery slope on, this, uh because what he said publicly

924
00:48:02,519 --> 00:48:05,440
is certainly talked about. Privately why DO i have a

925
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,960
bunch of dudes who've never played the game wearing plaid,

926
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,960
shirts jeans that are too, small with huge bifocals telling

927
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:19,559
me how to run my basketball. Team clearly that's talked

928
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:23,960
about behind the. Scenes but You, rossell you can't put

929
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,880
it in front of a. Microphone you just. CAN'T i

930
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,760
don't care how upset you. Are you just really. Salty

931
00:48:33,159 --> 00:48:35,840
you have to be diplomatic about. It you just. DO

932
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:42,480
i like the, emotion and it's. FINE i understand that

933
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,280
that it's a it's a certain like it's on The

934
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,239
bingo card of defense mechanisms for players and coaches when

935
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:53,159
they get. CRITICIZED i, MEAN i have been trained to

936
00:48:53,159 --> 00:48:55,559
be a. Broadcaster, yes there are a lot of ex

937
00:48:55,639 --> 00:48:59,320
athletes that are. Broadcasters DO i go run to tell,

938
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:00,760
them every one of? Them you don't know how to

939
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,920
do this. Business Because i've trained and learned and gone

940
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,360
through the ups and downs of being a young. Broadcaster

941
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,599
and you get to get a large microphone and do your.

942
00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:09,360
THINGS i, mean you, KNOW i GUESS i guess we

943
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,239
get to do that. Too, yeah we mixedun Of John

944
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:15,400
wall's podcast And Dwayne wade's. Podcast oh, well those are

945
00:49:15,639 --> 00:49:20,599
probably obsolete right. Now and, ALSO i, mean it's obviously

946
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,480
a multi layered. Conversation just because You Charles barker played

947
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,519
the game at A hall Of fame, level but sometimes

948
00:49:27,519 --> 00:49:29,440
he spouts out a bunch of craziness and doesn't know

949
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,280
what he's talking. About so it Doesn't just because you

950
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,159
played the game doesn't mean it's baked in that you

951
00:49:33,159 --> 00:49:35,320
know exactly what you're talking about and your opinions are.

952
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:37,480
Correct and just because you haven't played the game doesn't

953
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,599
mean you study the game it was smart and you

954
00:49:39,639 --> 00:49:42,440
watch trends and you have an objective eye to. It

955
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,400
it doesn't you can have you can have a, credible

956
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,000
respectable opinion despite the fact you've never played the.

957
00:49:49,039 --> 00:49:52,039
Speaker 3: Game, yes AND i don't think either side understands.

958
00:49:52,039 --> 00:49:55,519
Speaker 1: That, Yeah AND i, think, well because what they what

959
00:49:56,039 --> 00:49:58,360
coaches and players will focus on the people that didn't

960
00:49:58,360 --> 00:50:01,079
play the game and have, horrible, terrible bad opinions and

961
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:02,679
don't know what they're talking, about of which there are

962
00:50:02,679 --> 00:50:05,079
many in the. Media correct, now if you have someone

963
00:50:05,119 --> 00:50:06,719
that agrees with, you then you're not going to take

964
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:08,679
a little potsiah. Exactly so what you took the shot

965
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:14,079
was because this, guy who again is probably you, know

966
00:50:15,079 --> 00:50:16,599
never played a game in his life and it's probably

967
00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:18,679
twenty or thirty pounds, overweight is telling you that you

968
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,880
don't know what you're talking. About, Yeah i'm eating cheese

969
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,199
doodles on my couch saying this guy's out of. Shape,

970
00:50:23,519 --> 00:50:26,960
yeah well they got gas in the four. Corner these

971
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,960
guys are. Bums we all do that with. Everything, yeah

972
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,440
we don't know what we don't, know but yet we

973
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:34,119
want to tell you what we think we know the same.

974
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:38,239
Thing have you ever criticized any ever sitting? President of? Course.

975
00:50:38,519 --> 00:50:42,119
Yeah do you know how to run the? Country hell, No,

976
00:50:42,559 --> 00:50:45,840
yeah but we. Criticize that's what we. Do, yeah we, say,

977
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,360
oh the service in this restaurant is. Terrible there must

978
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,239
be you know, This i'm never going. Back well maybe

ON i could do. That. Yeah we're just in a

981
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:59,960
situation where we generally speaking and then include myself and you. Everybody,

982
00:51:00,159 --> 00:51:04,880
yeah we can criticize just about anything in life without

983
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:07,360
having a real firm foundation of why something is the way.

984
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:09,719
That you also don't have to add to what you're bringing.

985
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:10,960
Up you don't have to have been a waiter to

986
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,480
know what good service. Is, yeah but, ANYWAYS i thought

987
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,880
it was. Great it's like a MOTION i like when

988
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,119
guys get all. Mad SO i, mean BUT i, MEAN

989

i don't know what that guy. WROTE i don't know

990
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,119
the Pre we don't know the. Pretext that sounds like

991
00:51:24,159 --> 00:51:26,360
that's been. Context you just don't randomly do that on

992
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:29,000
a sorry after a close loss of The. ROCKETS i,

993
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,880
mean come, on, yeah let's play it, again just to

994
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,840
put it in. Context is this Is Jason. Kidd his

995
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,519
team was very, Competitive it had a chance to win

996
00:51:41,639 --> 00:51:43,159
Late Cooper flag in an amazing.

997
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,519
Speaker 3: Game, look they're not gonna make the playoffs this. Year

998
00:51:45,639 --> 00:51:46,480
it just is what it.

999
00:51:46,559 --> 00:51:49,360
Speaker 1: Is but there's for a variety of, Reasons Anthony davis

1000
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:51,239
being one of, Them Kyrie everyan being out all the,

1001
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,719
year they Lost Brandon williams in the. Game they're very

1002
00:51:54,159 --> 00:51:57,840
talented backup and you know they're just they're in a

1003
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,440
rebuild mode and The Cooper flag's nineteen yearyears. Old with

1004
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,960
the heavy lifting of the. Responsibility here was the question

1005
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,519
and answer, again this this is just this just this was.

1006
00:52:07,519 --> 00:52:08,639
Speaker 3: A culmination of, something for.

1007
00:52:08,679 --> 00:52:12,280
Speaker 8: Sure, coach you got a lot of national criticism for

1008
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,039
Playing flag At Point guard for the last two.

1009
00:52:15,079 --> 00:52:19,639
Speaker 9: Games, criticism, criticism that's your. Opinion you guys write that.

1010
00:52:19,639 --> 00:52:24,000
Book that's not That i've done. THIS i played this.

1011
00:52:24,119 --> 00:52:27,639
GAME i played it at a very high, level AND

1012
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:28,000
i know.

1013
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:28,639
Speaker 1: What the Fuck i'm.

Speaker 9: Doing BUT i don't give a what you guys, right

1015
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:36,079
because you guys have never played the, game and So

1016
00:52:36,199 --> 00:52:40,000
i've built, players SO i know what The i'm. Doing

1017
00:52:41,639 --> 00:52:46,280
so to take criticism it only makes me better because

1018
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,159
IF i wasn't doing it, right you guys wouldn't be

1019
00:52:48,199 --> 00:52:52,599

00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 1: Stropping disc tracks out here in the press. CONFERENCES i just.

1023
00:53:07,199 --> 00:53:10,400
Refused you never played the. Game that is the that's

1024
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,320
the lowest of lowest hanging. Fruit it really. Is but

1025
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:22,079
we all do. It we all do it in. EVERYTHING i,

1026
00:53:22,159 --> 00:53:24,320

Week we kind of know what we're. Doing so as

1030
00:53:34,679 --> 00:53:36,400
much as you want to crush, him for just saying,

1031
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,159
it and it's, again it looks makes him look bad.

1032
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,199
Speaker 3: Something he's gonna just kinda bite your lip.

1033
00:53:42,079 --> 00:53:45,679
Speaker 1: At his move on BECAUSE i don't think, AGAIN i

1034
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,719
Think Jason, kidd largely in this situation is probably not

1035
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:51,639
feeling too much heat because of all the massive. CHANGES i,

1036
00:53:51,679 --> 00:53:54,360
mean just the general. Manager oh my, god you gotta

1037

be on one of the coldest seats in. Basketball, YEAH

1038
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,960

00:54:01,559 --> 00:54:03,360
Wrong have a nice. DAY i WOULD i. WOULD i

1041
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:04,280

00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 3: Direction, yeah you're saying there's criticism of.

1043
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: Me there's no Way i'm trying my, best don't you. Understand,

1044
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,559
WELL i felt LIKE i felt like the reporter was

00:54:11,559 --> 00:54:13,559
actually gonna say there was national, criticism like do you

1046
00:54:13,639 --> 00:54:16,039

00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:24,559
he was gonna, say, hey there was a lot of national.

1051
00:54:24,639 --> 00:54:26,679
Crisis it felt like he was setting up a softball

1052
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:29,079
there's a lot of, criticism but He Cooper flag's been

1053
00:54:29,079 --> 00:54:31,920

Speaker 1: News? Sure why? Not that's one that's, plenty, right you know,

1066
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,320
What let's give you one? More why al? Right sure.

1067
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:23,280
One Jeremy pane is going to play for his native,

1068
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,159
Country Puerto rico in The World Baseball. Classic No dominican

1069
00:55:27,639 --> 00:55:35,000
The Dominican. Republic excuse, me, so, um you KNOW i

1070
00:55:35,039 --> 00:55:36,719
feel about. IT i, MEAN i guess it is what it.

1071
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:38,840
IS i, mean those guys like. It i'm not gonna

1072
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:41,199
Tell jeremy what they do not. Do so he's, young

1073
00:55:43,519 --> 00:55:46,519
just don't get hit in the. Hand just wear Like

1074
00:55:46,639 --> 00:55:49,639
knight's armor on your. Hands, yeah just don't treat these

1075
00:55:49,679 --> 00:55:51,599
games Like game seven of The World. Series school we're

1076
00:55:51,599 --> 00:55:56,280
gonna in Late. October. Uh, yeah he wants to play

1077
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,360
for his. Country but it is interesting those that have

1078
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,559
injury history don't get the clearances because the. Insurance they

1079
00:56:02,559 --> 00:56:04,119
can't find insurance to back it up in case he

1080
00:56:04,119 --> 00:56:06,239
doesn't get. Hurt jeremy, opinion doesn't have a history of,

1081
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,239
injuries so it's probably.

1082
00:56:08,039 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 3: A little bit easier to ensure. That MAYBE i had

1083
00:56:11,039 --> 00:56:11,440
to talk to the.

1084
00:56:11,519 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: Actuaries we'll interview the actuary who signed his contract coming

1085
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:15,440
up in the next.

1086
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 3: Segment we are that's a huge get for. Us maybe

1087
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:18,800
he's on radio row right.

1088
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: Now actuary is also known Poonhounds. Man is that, right

1089
00:56:24,039 --> 00:56:27,280
like the guys At Pro Football. Focus, YEAH i didn't

1090
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,440
know that actuaries had the kind of. Pull all, right

1091
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,360
we have to tell the truth coming, Up yes we. Do, uh.

1092
00:56:35,639 --> 00:56:38,920
Okay So Commissioner Roger goodell visits with the media once

1093
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,880
a Year state of THE Nfl press. Conference it usually

1094
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,880
happens at The Super bowl where all the national media.

1095
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,639
Going AND i don't know if they they don't, like

1096
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,639
everybody's gonna raise their, hands they'll have a. Question SO

1097
00:56:50,679 --> 00:56:52,639
i don't know if THE nfl chooses who gets to

1098
00:56:52,679 --> 00:56:55,599
ask questions based off of seniority or who they like

1099
00:56:55,639 --> 00:56:58,280
and who they don't, like, YadA, YadA. YadA but there's

1100
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,000
a he doesn't go for three. Hours it's probably about

1101
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:02,679
forty five minutes an. Hour maybe you would think in the,

1102
00:57:02,840 --> 00:57:05,320
PAST i think give it a take, Sure SO i don't, Know,

1103
00:57:06,159 --> 00:57:09,440
uh this might be the one of the most uncomfortable.

1104
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,800
Ones let me just throw a variety of things that

1105
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,840
he may be thrown at. Today you want to, play

00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,000
is gonna be as organic as it. Gets we'll start

1109
00:57:25,039 --> 00:57:31,800
with an easy. One the owner of The patriots recently

1110

01:04:00,239 --> 01:04:02,559

1227
01:04:03,079 --> 01:04:08,639
okay which one AM i not telling you the? Truth number,

1228

ONE i have no inside, intelligence but in my, core

1229
01:04:16,719 --> 01:04:20,840
in MY nba, brain if The rockets make a move

1230
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:26,079
Before thursday's trained, deadline the only MOVE i really seen

1231
01:04:26,159 --> 01:04:30,800
them make is going to get a big, man, right.

1232
01:04:31,599 --> 01:04:37,199
Okay number. Two even though THE nfl announced a bunch

1233
01:04:37,239 --> 01:04:41,840
of international, games AND i once told you that everybody's

1234
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,000
going to play at least one international game long time,

1235
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,119
ago when we first started doing, this maybe during cut,

1236
01:04:46,239 --> 01:04:50,559
FEELINGS i still believe ross there will not be A

1237
01:04:50,679 --> 01:04:54,760
european team in THE nfl the next thirty. Years got thirty,

1238
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:01,199
years thirty? Years, okay that's number. Two number three back

1239
01:05:01,239 --> 01:05:06,440
to THE. Nba giannis will be traded By, thursday the.

1240
01:05:06,519 --> 01:05:13,760
Deadline and number four there will be a lot of

1241
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:18,840
concessions coming up in baseball, now hopefully there will not

1242
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,000
be a workstoppage in twenty twenty. Seven it's all signs

1243
01:05:22,039 --> 01:05:25,239
show there's going to. Be but when the dust settles

1244
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,599
and they resume baseball post twenty twenty sixties and, whatever

1245
01:05:28,679 --> 01:05:33,960
that is you will see The Major League baseball schedule

1246
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:37,840
reduced by six games from one sixty two to one fifty.

1247
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:41,199
Six that's six more off days during the course in the.

1248
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:47,440
Season eight that's only three three home games per that's

1249
01:05:47,559 --> 01:05:49,960
one series a team the're losing out. On they'll make

1250
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,840
it up in other, ways television, dollars maybe they'll give

1251
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:57,000
and take on negotiations on. THINGS i see a reduction

1252
01:05:57,079 --> 01:05:59,679
from one sixty two to one fifty six in the

1253
01:05:59,719 --> 01:06:02,559
base one fifty. Six, okay you know one fifty, six

1254
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,039
so you know how you play everybody in the other.

1255
01:06:08,159 --> 01:06:10,800
League once you'll take you two, teams you will not

1256
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:15,800
play three. Games, okay all. RIGHT i believe three of those?

1257
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:17,719
Four which one AM i not telling you the? Truth

1258
01:06:17,719 --> 01:06:22,440
which one's a? Lot, Well i'll tell you WHAT i,

1259
01:06:22,519 --> 01:06:30,960
Believe Jonathan, AMY i believe it's. Four let's run through. Them.

1260
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,280
Though if The rockets make a, movie, yeah big, man

1261
01:06:33,320 --> 01:06:36,159
that sounds. Reasonable european team in AN nfl in thirty,

1262
01:06:36,239 --> 01:06:37,800
YEARS i mean that's a wild. CARD i don't know

1263
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,239
If matt believes that or. NOT i, mean probably. Not

1264
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:42,679
it just doesn't make. Sense although they are looking into

1265
01:06:42,719 --> 01:06:46,079
those super high powered. Jets so maybe it is going

1266
01:06:46,119 --> 01:06:49,599
to be. Possible but it also just seems like with

1267
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,960
jet lag and all that type of, stuff thirty years

1268
01:06:52,519 --> 01:06:56,360
it could, happen certainly not within the next. TEN i

1269
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,039
don't know WHAT i. Mean thirty is going from Nineteen

1270
01:06:58,039 --> 01:07:00,199
how much of THE nfl changed from nineteen seventy two.

1271
01:07:00,239 --> 01:07:02,079
THOUSAND i mean it's a. Lot they, were y'all were

1272
01:07:02,119 --> 01:07:04,760
in love their. Helmets really. Huh, HEY i wasn't lying

1273
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:10,199
nineteen seventy what's this y'all? Business what y'all is it right?

1274
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,239
NOW i was in the scud or whatever it. WAS

1275
01:07:15,679 --> 01:07:17,639
i wasn't the thought of my mom and dad Until

1276
01:07:17,679 --> 01:07:25,760
december of nineteen seventy. One all, Right, Anyways joannis could

1277
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:27,559
very well be traded By. THURSDAY i think he, will

1278
01:07:27,639 --> 01:07:29,639
even though The knicks are apparently bowing. Out apparently The

1279
01:07:29,679 --> 01:07:32,199
warriors and The heat are very heavily. INVOLVED i believe

1280
01:07:32,239 --> 01:07:35,440
that can he not. Go there's no way the owners

1281
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,599
are going to, say we're, good take away a home

1282
01:07:37,679 --> 01:07:40,800
series for us to make more, money and what is

1283
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,920
FOR i forgot? Four, yeah the dust. Settles the schedule

1284
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,119
were reduced to one fifty. SIX i actually Thought matt

1285
01:07:47,199 --> 01:07:48,800
was going to say something about the salary cap one

1286
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,599
way or the, other AND i honestly don't know that would.

1287
01:07:50,599 --> 01:07:52,760
Be that would have been a toss. Up BUT i

1288
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:56,519
think there's no way the owners shortened the, season even

1289
01:07:56,559 --> 01:07:59,239
if the revenues are minuscule to what they're going to be.

1290
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 10: Losing and they're adding a robots into the game as,

1291
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:05,679
Well SO i, MEAN i don't they gotta pay for

1292
01:08:05,719 --> 01:08:06,119
that somehow.

1293
01:08:06,199 --> 01:08:11,719
Speaker 1: Too i'll go fo they're ALL i, mean not that

1294
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:14,159
none of these are crazy, Normally matt, says some crazy

1295
01:08:14,239 --> 01:08:17,560
with hair brains do. Normally like last, week they're never

1296
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,439
gonna go more than sixteen in the playoff college college, Football,

1297
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,600
gord he shot that down, Immediately so, yeah that was a,

1298
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,560
Ridiculous but this this, week nothing's too. Ridiculous But i'll

1299
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:30,880
go with. Four i'm gonna go with. TWO i Think

1300
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,800
matt's a very big on The european and other countries a.

1301
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,920
Year you're, right that's a good, one all. RIGHT i

1302
01:08:38,079 --> 01:08:40,159
do believe number. ONE i believe The rockets would go

1303
01:08:40,199 --> 01:08:41,920
for a big man overguard if they would do anything at.

1304
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:46,439
All not THAT i don't Love, clint But alpie's. Ankle

1305
01:08:47,119 --> 01:08:48,359
you know, What they're not a whole lot of time

1306
01:08:48,399 --> 01:08:51,800
to arrest that bad. Boy adding another big man to

1307
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,800
help with this team that relies so much on offensive,

1308
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:55,479
rebounding to, me would be a huge part of. It

1309
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:57,439
go go to the big man who can, rebound don't

1310
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,760
worry about. Scoring so, YEAH i would believe The rockets

1311
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:01,520
would be better served if they were to go get

1312
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:04,560
a big. MAN i do, believe honest is gonna get

1313
01:09:04,560 --> 01:09:08,279
traded by the deadline BECAUSE i think if the numbers work,

1314
01:09:08,319 --> 01:09:09,640
out it's To giannis's.

1315
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,720
Speaker 3: Advantage if he, doesn't it's to the team.

1316
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: Advantage if he, does now it's the team's advantages To

1317
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,199
milwaukee to get the most, value especially if he got

1318
01:09:17,199 --> 01:09:19,399
seven or eight teams still, involved even Though knicks aren't

1319
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,119
really heavily. Involved you still Got you mentioned The, warriors

1320
01:09:22,159 --> 01:09:26,760
you got The, heat you Got. TORONTO i think when

1321
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,560
there's so many teams out there that there's gonna be

1322
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,840
a deal That milwaukee ultimately. Can't if he's plus In

1323
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,079
milwaukee needs to, rebuild they just. Do then it comes

1324
01:09:35,119 --> 01:09:39,359
out of the last Two. Uh i've said this over and, Over,

1325
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,479
jonathan and you got to listen to the. Show i've

1326
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,119
said THE nba ain't taken games, away And Major League

1327
01:09:45,119 --> 01:09:47,479
baseball ain't taking games away. Either they're not turning down

1328
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,479
three games and three opportunities to televise three more games

1329
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:55,439
and beer and parking and ticket. Sales they're gonna keep

1330
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,279
it at one sixty. TWO i do not believe that

1331
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,159
they're gonna reduce this Ski So ross is. CORRECT i

1332
01:10:03,279 --> 01:10:04,880
don't believe THE nfl is going to bring a team

1333
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,520
To europe in the next thirty years, because, guys, honestly,

1334
01:10:08,119 --> 01:10:10,920
logistically that's going to be a horrific. Mess you'll have

1335
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,560
to play three or four games In, europe then play

1336
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:16,119
three or four games in The United. States it could

1337
01:10:16,159 --> 01:10:18,399
be a hot mess when it comes to. Logistics and

1338
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:22,199
they're doing just fine Putting game of The week games out.

1339
01:10:22,239 --> 01:10:24,680
There every team will play overseas and that should be

1340
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:26,239
satisfying to anybody in The european.

1341
01:10:26,279 --> 01:10:28,319
Speaker 3: Team so there will not be there will be NO

1342
01:10:28,560 --> 01:10:29,960
nfl team In europe in the next thirty.

1343
01:10:30,039 --> 01:10:32,119
Speaker 1: Years there will still be a one sixty two game,

1344
01:10:32,199 --> 01:10:33,279
schedule at least AS i see.

1345
01:10:33,279 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 3: It So, ross you, Win, Sorry, Jonathan you're no longer

1346
01:10:35,720 --> 01:10:36,039
in first.

1347
01:10:36,039 --> 01:10:38,520
Speaker 1: Place it's. Time it's okay that's.

1348
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,039
Speaker 10: Okay it's not.

1349
01:10:41,159 --> 01:10:43,159
Speaker 1: Okay you you've enjoyed having the two to one. Lead,

1350
01:10:43,359 --> 01:10:45,680
No i'm a competitor at the end of the. Day,

1351
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:50,439
Okay OH i, see, okay can you? LOSE i do

1352
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:54,039
Believe ross for the health of, baseball you know, That i'm,

1353
01:10:54,079 --> 01:10:56,960
sorry would be. GREAT i think six off days would

1354
01:10:57,079 --> 01:10:59,359
would be a game changer for the overall health of the.

1355
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:02,479
Game owners are too greedy and franklin for that, Matter.

1356
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,039
Ross the players are too. Greed they don't wanna. Turn

1357
01:11:04,039 --> 01:11:06,800
they're gonna they're gonna wind up having to lose three

1358
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,680
one sixty twos of a. Contract they just. ARE i

1359
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:15,399
don't see you the side budgeting on. That, YEAH i

1360
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,520
don't SEE i don't see it. Either BUT i think

1361
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:22,760
six off days in the season would generate much better quality. Competition,

1362
01:11:24,359 --> 01:11:26,359
instead we're gonna see more guys taking days. Off we're

1363
01:11:26,359 --> 01:11:28,720
gonna see sick man, rotations and we're gonna see guys

1364
01:11:29,199 --> 01:11:31,760
that are gonna get the randall game off. Anyway so

1365
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,239
nobody's trying to play one sixty two. Anymore that's just

1366
01:11:35,319 --> 01:11:36,720
that's just a thing of the. Past so we're not

1367
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,880
looking for streaks or. Anything and they're not gonna turn

1368
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,439
down gates even if the gates are. Poultry so that's

1369
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:44,359

1489
01:18:19,199 --> 01:18:21,039
are we gonna? DO i, mean they're gonna combine THE

1490
01:18:21,119 --> 01:18:23,159
nfl that work of THE. Espn they, probably my, guess

1491
01:18:23,199 --> 01:18:27,199
will probably abolish THE. Nfl that work ultimately really, right

1492
01:18:27,279 --> 01:18:29,399
put or PUT espn personalities on THE. Nfl you can

1493
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,199
just have AN. Espn it's LIKE espn FOUR nfl right, right,

1494
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,439
Es you, know THE nfl has, games they will GIVE

1495
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:41,279
espn as part of. It so if you're a fan

1496
01:18:41,359 --> 01:18:44,039
of Uh Lewis reik And Daniel lobski doing more, games

1497
01:18:44,079 --> 01:18:45,520
you'll probably get some more of those guys doing.

1498
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 3: THEM i wish i'd Say i'm, surprised but everybody's.

1499
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:55,119
Speaker 1: Merging together and. WHATNOT i don't. KNOW i think people,

1500
01:18:55,359 --> 01:18:59,199
THINK i don't, know is there What Where's i'm trying

1501
01:18:59,239 --> 01:19:00,920
to think of like some kind of precedent where the

1502
01:19:01,079 --> 01:19:09,880
league owns they're not only broadcasters they should, be they're. Reporters, yeah,

1503
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,479
WELL i mean think about. This Ian rappaportz works with THE. Nfl,

1504
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,159
yes but he also he shills for them all the,

1505
01:19:18,239 --> 01:19:21,039
time just like How Adam schefter, was well he was.

1506
01:19:21,039 --> 01:19:23,560
WORKING i Guess Adam scheft already shills for THE. Nfl,

1507
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,000
anyways right, right there's only going to be six two

1508
01:19:26,079 --> 01:19:29,760
seconds of spots on red zone five weeks later is eight?

1509
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,920
MINUTES i still take. IT i mean that's the problem

1510
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:35,439
is THAT i WOULD i still love. It, yeah but

1511
01:19:35,520 --> 01:19:37,800
it's used to be. Zero Scott hanson would come on

1512
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,359
there and he would say seven hours of commercial free.

1513
01:19:41,239 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 3: Football and it meant something to, me damn.

1514
01:19:44,039 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: It, yeah it's. NOTHING i don't think the average person

1515
01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,239
is going to necessarily notice a. Change and the average

1516
01:19:53,239 --> 01:19:54,680
person's not going to notice any of these. Changes and

1517
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,279
that's why everything's getting. Worse and that's why prices averything going.

1518
01:19:57,359 --> 01:20:00,760
Up thirty two ounce tomato saw cans go down to

there's also gonna be implied. Pressure but even, so there

1559
01:21:57,520 --> 01:21:59,760
was implied pressure before because they're all television. PARTNERS i,

1560
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:03,119
mean THE nfl has partnerships with every television, network and

1561

1668
01:27:18,039 --> 01:27:19,520

01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:19,680

01:27:23,680 --> 01:27:26,000
the country's gonna Think Bad bunny was the most incredible halftime,

1673
01:27:26,039 --> 01:27:27,800

1674
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,560
Speaker 10: Say Little, man, yeah don't, go don't go On, twitter,

01:27:31,159 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: Be, yeah because that's what we. Do that's what we.

1677
01:27:33,079 --> 01:27:35,279
Are in twenty twenty, six we are fifty to. Fifty

1678
01:27:38,199 --> 01:27:40,960
we are fifty to, fifty all. Right as far as

1679
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,840
The rockets are, concerned they beat The mavericks On saturday

1680
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,199
night was a very fun, game good, Atmosphere rockets picking

1681
01:27:47,239 --> 01:27:49,920
up that second straight. Win And i'll tell you. What

1682
01:27:50,359 --> 01:27:52,640
THE nba trade deadline is coming up On. Thursday and

1683
01:27:52,640 --> 01:27:54,199
one of the THINGS i brought up during the show

1684
01:27:54,279 --> 01:27:56,159
today on To tell The truth about half an hour

1685
01:27:56,159 --> 01:28:00,399
ago WAS i have a gut feeling AND i should

1686
01:28:00,399 --> 01:28:02,600
save this really more for, tomorrow but you, know than

1687
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:04,439
the sake of this, Timeslot i'm gonna do it right.

1688
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:08,600
NOW i do think The rockets should severely kick the

1689
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,640
tires on getting a big, because AS i said before

1690
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,560
about a half an hour, ago so much of what

1691
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,920
The rockets need to do and what has been their

1692
01:28:18,960 --> 01:28:22,840
strength in their core is keeping possessions. Alive and we've

1693
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:26,239
got some really good offensive. Rebounders Steven adams made this

1694
01:28:26,359 --> 01:28:29,680
team an elite offensive rebounding, team AND i Think Clint

1695
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,680
capella can do. It But clint's not gonna be able

1696
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:35,520
to do it with nearly the veracity as Say Steven adams.

1697
01:28:35,560 --> 01:28:38,720
Did so if you get me one more big, Body

1698
01:28:39,319 --> 01:28:42,279
i'd be more than happy with, that BECAUSE i, think,

1699
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,239
honestly it'll be probably easier to get a third, big

1700
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:49,680
a reserved guy that you probably either a little longer

1701
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:51,520
in the tooth or doesn't play a lot from their

1702
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:55,840
team and giving something up is compared to going to

1703
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:58,520
get a superstar point, guard which would be very hard

1704
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,000
to do because, again The rockets are kind of tough

1705
01:29:00,119 --> 01:29:00,560
to do a lot of.

1706
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:05,399
Speaker 3: Contracts you, KNOW i know That Charles barkley.

1707
01:29:05,479 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 1: SAID i guess is what a previous Caller gary said

1708
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:10,359
a little while ago That Charles barkley wasn't satisfied with

1709
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:16,359
a guard position point guard. Spot to, me watching a

1710
01:29:16,399 --> 01:29:18,399
lot OF nba and calling a lot OF nba, games

1711
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:23,039
you do want good ball. Handling you do get troubled

1712
01:29:23,079 --> 01:29:25,640
by Some knights with The rockets turn the ball over sixteen,

1713
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:30,000
seventeen eighteen nineteen, times but On, saturday as part of their,

1714
01:29:30,079 --> 01:29:34,319
victory they only turned it over six. Times, now that

1715
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,039
may be a one, off or that may be something

1716
01:29:36,079 --> 01:29:37,960
that The rockets may do ultimately down the future and

1717
01:29:38,079 --> 01:29:39,279
starting to reduce their turnover.

1718
01:29:39,399 --> 01:29:41,119
Speaker 3: Count if they do, that that'll be even.

1719
01:29:41,159 --> 01:29:45,199
Speaker 1: Better but, Athletically Aman thompson could guard any point guard

1720
01:29:45,239 --> 01:29:48,399
in this. League Jabari smith can certainly do. It Josha

1721
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:52,840
kokie gets in the people's. FACE i don't want to

1722
01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:55,680
say it's, overblown because if you have a great point,

1723
01:29:55,720 --> 01:30:00,640
guard you are certainly in a significant. Advantage that's why

1724
01:30:00,720 --> 01:30:03,720
the loss Of Fred Van lee cannot be, overdiscussed because

1725
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:07,159
of the fact that he was a prototypical true point

1726
01:30:07,199 --> 01:30:10,880
guard that directed the offense both with his emotions and his.

1727
01:30:11,000 --> 01:30:17,399
Play but there aren't guys sitting around THE nba dish

1728
01:30:17,479 --> 01:30:19,920
the ball out seven times a, game scoring fourteen points

1729
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,159
and locking down defenders that are rarely available for any,

1730
01:30:22,199 --> 01:30:25,039
team much less The. Rockets so if you're going to

1731
01:30:25,079 --> 01:30:27,640
improve something and really put together some sort of, stretch

1732
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:29,640
you might as well try to improve something you're already

1733
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,760
pretty good at to begin, with and that is going

1734
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,439
to get somebody that can grab some more boards and

1735
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:36,840
continue this trend of The rockets as the top offensive

1736
01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:38,680
rebounding team in THE. Nba so that's WHY i kind

1737
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:40,680
of Said durling during earlier today on to tell the

1738
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:42,560
truth that if The rockets are going to do, anything

1739
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:44,720
it probably would be a lot easier to go grab

1740
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:47,640
a backup big as it would be to go get another.

1741
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:50,119
Guard but you never, Know rockets have shown no interest

1742
01:30:50,119 --> 01:30:53,039
in you ounse than the goopo that comes with really

1743
01:30:53,079 --> 01:30:55,399
no surprise, there BECAUSE i think you'd have to give

1744
01:30:55,479 --> 01:30:58,159
them a plutheor of draft picks and a pluthor of current,

1745
01:30:58,239 --> 01:31:00,880
players and it feels like to me that somebody's going

1746
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:02,319
to do, it AND i just don't think The rockets

1747
01:31:02,319 --> 01:31:03,520
will be the team that would be the ones that

1748
01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:07,000
we want to do. That so two remains to be

1749
01:31:07,079 --> 01:31:09,199
seen if The rockets do anything at the. DEADLINE i

1750
01:31:09,279 --> 01:31:11,760
still think the favorite in the clubhouse is The rockets do,

1751
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:15,680
nothing followed By rockets big, man followed By rockets getting

1752
01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,560
a backup point guard or some sort of guard that

1753
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:23,840
can handle the. Basketball mentioned again The astros With Jeremy

1754
01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:25,880

Speaker 3: Money his key takeaway stay with me on.

1879
01:38:43,279 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: This The astros will let free agent From bravaldez walk

1880
01:38:47,119 --> 01:38:49,640
and are replacing him by gambling on two pitchers who

1881
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:54,079
played overseas last. Year they also bolted their rotation by

1882
01:38:54,119 --> 01:38:57,399
Acquiring Mike burrows and The. Pirates how much success that

1883
01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,760
trio has this year might ultimately decide Whether houston can

1884
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:04,600
get back to the. Postseason here's the biggest question he.

1885
01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:08,079
Has will The astros extend the contracts of general Manager

1886
01:39:08,159 --> 01:39:11,079
Dana brown and Manager joe spotted during the season or

1887
01:39:11,159 --> 01:39:15,000
make them wait until the season. Ends his season prediction

1888
01:39:15,159 --> 01:39:19,000
on the team to finish second place in The American League.

1889
01:39:19,039 --> 01:39:25,680
West any arguments on, that it feels about. RIGHT i

1890
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:29,600
like the, arms AND i mean It's Dana brown's not

1891
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:31,279
gonna get IT. A you get IT. A it's like

1892
01:39:31,359 --> 01:39:33,239
you make a bunch of big trades in big signing

1893
01:39:33,319 --> 01:39:36,079
that's in, flashy splashy, moves and he just doesn't have

1894
01:39:36,319 --> 01:39:38,720
the farm system or the funds to do that kind of. Thing.

1895
01:39:39,279 --> 01:39:41,439
Yeah The, mariners by the, way not getting a deep

1896
01:39:41,520 --> 01:39:43,319
dive of what they've. Done The mariners were given AN

1897
01:39:43,359 --> 01:39:46,960
anus and they are predicted to finish. First The rangers

1898
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:49,439
were given a grade OF b and they are expected

1899
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:54,079
to finish third in The American League. West The angels

1900
01:39:54,119 --> 01:39:58,319
were given A c plus they're expected to finish. Fifth

1901
01:39:59,039 --> 01:40:03,000
the whatever calling them this Week a's were given a

1902
01:40:03,159 --> 01:40:07,199
grade OF c minus and they're expected to finish. Fourth.

1903
01:40:10,279 --> 01:40:17,840
Hmmm UH i, HONESTLY i don't think the future Of

1904
01:40:17,920 --> 01:40:21,079
dana And joe are the biggest.

1905
01:40:21,199 --> 01:40:25,000
Speaker 3: QUESTIONS i think you always had that.

1906
01:40:25,159 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 1: Question if a team either underperforms or, overperforms you're always

1907
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:36,159
thinking about who's going to be the. Leadership so maybe

1908
01:40:36,239 --> 01:40:38,640
he was just talking with the painting of a broad

1909
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:43,479
brush on. This to, me the biggest question marks always

1910
01:40:43,520 --> 01:40:47,399
will revolve around what's happening on the. Field the biggest

1911
01:40:47,439 --> 01:40:51,000
thing for me is how is this outfield going to

1912
01:40:51,039 --> 01:40:54,039
produce this? Year i'm gonna go with that right, THAT

1913
01:40:54,079 --> 01:40:57,439
i must stop right. THERE i got a pretty good

1914
01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,720
feeling with so many arms The astros, have they're gonna

1915
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:01,800
find five or six guys that can do a decent.

1916
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:05,079
Job i'm not really worried about. That you're not worried

1917
01:41:05,079 --> 01:41:07,039
about the congested in, field BECAUSE i think it's gonna

1918
01:41:07,119 --> 01:41:10,119
it's going to either be decongested or someone's gonna get,

1919
01:41:10,199 --> 01:41:11,720
hurt or they're going to figure out how to play

1920
01:41:11,800 --> 01:41:13,960
nice with all these extra. Guys i'm a little worried about. It,

1921
01:41:15,600 --> 01:41:17,760
WELL i mean you're you're is is it you worried

1922
01:41:17,800 --> 01:41:19,720
because you're gonna have somebody sitting on the bench that

1923
01:41:19,800 --> 01:41:21,359
you don't, love that you like that we should be.

1924
01:41:21,399 --> 01:41:24,199
Playing is that what you're worried? About, yeah, okay that's.

1925
01:41:24,279 --> 01:41:26,640
FAIR i, mean especially if It's Esak, paratus WHO i

1926
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:30,520
think is he's one of their top three bats works.

1927
01:41:30,600 --> 01:41:32,800
PITCHES i mean how much how often we talk about

1928
01:41:32,840 --> 01:41:34,640
when he especially when he went down last, year how

1929
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:36,000
big he was of a miss he was from the

1930
01:41:36,039 --> 01:41:37,880
line because he was the only one with any. Patients.

1931
01:41:38,199 --> 01:41:40,840
Yep but as much as.

1932
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:45,319
Speaker 3: You i'm agreeing with you on, That Zach, Cole Jake

1933
01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:46,600

1935
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:55,239
but you know what it. Is as soon AS i said, it.

1936
01:41:55,279 --> 01:41:57,600

2004
01:46:04,640 --> 01:46:07,279
uh these are From Baseball. REFERENCE i Mean fangraphs does

2005
01:46:07,319 --> 01:46:12,359
their own baseball, perspectives has THEIR PA coda. Projections they

2006
01:46:12,479 --> 01:46:14,680
base it, on you, know certain metrics and things that

2007
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,279
they've seen and what could possibly happen at The these

2008
01:46:17,319 --> 01:46:23,159
are usually LIKE i, guess baseline or average, projections like

2009
01:46:23,239 --> 01:46:27,279
the players always outperform or underperform these. Projections this is

2010
01:46:27,359 --> 01:46:29,560
like basically what the median projection is for a certain

2011
01:46:29,600 --> 01:46:32,000
player for the. Season all, right give us the good.

2012
01:46:32,079 --> 01:46:38,039
News Zach cole. Projected, now this is only two hundred played,

2013
01:46:38,039 --> 01:46:40,520
appearances so it could be. More we could maybe triple

2014
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,199
these numbers if he's gonna play a full. Season two

2015
01:46:43,279 --> 01:46:49,960
fifty batting, average seven to seventy ozho, ps sixtlen, bases

2016
01:46:50,079 --> 01:46:52,960
nine home. Runs so if you triple, that it could

2017
01:46:52,960 --> 01:46:54,680
be twenty seven home runs For Zach, cole if you,

2018
01:46:54,720 --> 01:47:01,760
please everyday player according to these. Projections, okay that gives

2019
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:07,000
me incredible. Optimism i'm feeling. Good. Now there's a very

2020
01:47:07,039 --> 01:47:09,640
short sample. Size you only got fifty two played appearances last,

2021
01:47:09,720 --> 01:47:11,600
year BUT i think they look at minor league. Stuff

2022
01:47:11,840 --> 01:47:14,479
if you if you're not concerned about The astros, outfield

2023
01:47:15,239 --> 01:47:18,119
doesn't mean, concerned doesn't mean things can get. Well who

2024
01:47:18,159 --> 01:47:21,000
said they're? Terrible but you gotta. Be i'm, saying generally,

2025
01:47:21,039 --> 01:47:24,000
speaking you should be. CONCERNED i. Am we're Handing i'm

2026
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:25,479
not talking about. You i'm talking about the. General we're

2027
01:47:25,520 --> 01:47:27,720
handing a left. Fielder the left fielder a spout with

2028
01:47:27,760 --> 01:47:33,079
fifty two plate. Appearances he's ready to, Go, MATT i.

2029
01:47:33,199 --> 01:47:42,800
Hope so let's See Cam. Smith, yes eleven home. Runs

2030
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:44,199
now this is more of this is about four and

2031
01:47:44,319 --> 01:47:50,359
fifty plate. Appearances, okay they're projecting for him eleven home

2032
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,880
runs seven to fifteen oh. Ps if you're getting elite

2033
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:56,520
right field defense in seven to fifteen, oha, ops that's not,

2034
01:47:56,640 --> 01:47:58,960
terrible but it's also not a. Superstar but you're in

2035
01:47:59,119 --> 01:48:01,319
getting at this point given a zero power out of the,

2036
01:48:01,359 --> 01:48:09,039
outfield maybe mega power. Correct, okay, well Thankfully Jake myers

2037
01:48:09,079 --> 01:48:11,159
is going to fill that void for us ten home

2038
01:48:11,239 --> 01:48:14,720
runs in about four hundred and fifty played. Appearances, oh

2039
01:48:15,119 --> 01:48:18,720
six ninety six. Ops so you're looking at an ops

2040
01:48:18,800 --> 01:48:22,000
of your outfield of seven hundred is considered good and

2041
01:48:22,079 --> 01:48:26,680
this is, yeah seven twenty five is about.

2042
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,479
Speaker 3: Average you get to seven fifteen and, above you're thinking

2043
01:48:28,520 --> 01:48:28,720
he is.

2044
01:48:28,680 --> 01:48:29,640

01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:27,960
that's not. Bad it just seems it just seemed like

2097
01:51:28,640 --> 01:51:31,920
it seemed like every Time walker came to, bat there

2098
01:51:32,079 --> 01:51:35,319
was either, one, two and even sometimes three people on,

2099
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:38,279
base and his home runs always seemed to be with

2100
01:51:38,560 --> 01:51:41,600
nobody on. Base AND i think what The astros are

2101
01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:45,119
doing here is they're trying to trying to make you

2102
01:51:45,239 --> 01:51:48,560
feel like they're really doing, something because last year we

2103
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:52,319
missed the playoffs by one. Game if we just had

2104
01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:55,720
half of the, games our ten games or twenty games

2105
01:51:56,199 --> 01:51:59,800
where we were we had bases, loaded our people, on

2106
01:52:00,039 --> 01:52:03,359
sit on two on, base and we did nothing except pop,

2107
01:52:03,439 --> 01:52:06,760
out we probably win the, well we definitely would win the,

2108
01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:10,000
division and we would have been in the. Playoffs there

2109
01:52:10,079 --> 01:52:12,399
is nobody on this team that you guys just mentioned

2110
01:52:12,560 --> 01:52:15,319
THAT i would guarantee is going to have over over

2111
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:19,880
twenty home. Runs And, albarez my, GOD i don't know

2112
01:52:19,960 --> 01:52:22,760
if what if he steps on a base again and

2113
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:25,359
yeah and sprains an ankle or hurts a quad or

2114
01:52:25,880 --> 01:52:28,079
our pulls a muscle in HIS i, mean there's just

2115
01:52:28,199 --> 01:52:31,039
so many things that that's going. On and what they're

2116
01:52:31,079 --> 01:52:35,760
worried about is. KITCHING i understand pitching is a crucial

2117
01:52:35,800 --> 01:52:38,359
part of, it but they're trying to give us the Old,

2118
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:41,600
well you know, what we know we suck as a hitting.

2119
01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:43,279
Team so what we're gonna do is we're gonna try

2120
01:52:43,319 --> 01:52:46,960
to outpitch, everybody WHICH i hope it. WORKS i don't

2121
01:52:47,000 --> 01:52:49,439
think it's gonna. Work last, year our pitching wasn't the.

2122
01:52:49,479 --> 01:52:51,600
Problem it was our. Hitting i'll hang up and, listen,

2123
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:52,359
guys thanks for the.

2124
01:52:52,600 --> 01:52:53,640
Speaker 1: Time you got.

2125
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:53,760
Speaker 6: It.

2126
01:52:54,039 --> 01:52:56,520
Speaker 1: UH i thought last year was a lot about. Pitching

2127
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:58,920
there were how many of you do we never hear?

2128
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:00,960
About but that made meaningful.

2129
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:02,800
Speaker 3: STARTS i. E Jason alexander is.

2130
01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:06,560
Speaker 1: One. Uh he had fourteen home runs with men, on

2131
01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:17,520
thirteen with no men, on so about. Half. Uh our

2132
01:53:17,560 --> 01:53:20,479
friend was? Wrong what's? That i'm looking for his runners

2133
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:24,159
in scoring position average two thirty, eight seven thirty seven.

2134
01:53:24,199 --> 01:53:26,399
OPS i mean that's consistent with about what he was

2135
01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:29,119
in the. Year, yeah so there wasn't a whole lot of.

2136
01:53:29,159 --> 01:53:34,600
Difference actually a better seven seventeen overall ops seven thirty

2137
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:40,199
seven with risp so slightly. Better i'm not trying to

2138
01:53:40,239 --> 01:53:43,560
spend it like he was. Good, no, no BECAUSE i,

2139
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:46,720
look you don't have to have a computer in front of.

2140
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:48,840
You you look at games that you, go, oh there's

2141
01:53:48,840 --> 01:53:51,720
another strikeout with the bases. LOADED i, MEAN i know

2142
01:53:52,199 --> 01:53:54,479
that was seen and it happened more than. Once did

2143
01:53:54,520 --> 01:53:55,199
it happen once a?

2144
01:53:55,279 --> 01:53:55,479
Speaker 6: Week?

2145
01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:57,239
Speaker 1: No but it did it happen a lot of? Times?

2146
01:53:57,319 --> 01:54:00,479
Yes did it? Happen because look about, this you tend

2147
01:54:00,560 --> 01:54:04,159
to remember the missed opportunities more than the solo blast

2148
01:54:04,199 --> 01:54:05,479
and the sixth inning of again against The.

2149
01:54:05,520 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 3: A's you know WHAT i, mean that's just that's what people,

2150
01:54:07,760 --> 01:54:08,319
do what we all.

2151
01:54:08,399 --> 01:54:13,520
Speaker 1: DO i would say if you wanted to, say how

2152
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,880
Can Christian walker be better in twenty twenty six than

2153
01:54:16,920 --> 01:54:19,479
he was in twenty twenty, five you would say you

2154
01:54:19,520 --> 01:54:22,079
would want him to be more productive in clutch? Situations

2155
01:54:24,840 --> 01:54:26,159
did you said it for a lot OF i would

2156
01:54:26,159 --> 01:54:29,199
just say more productive? Overall? Yeah, yeah more productive? Overall

2157
01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:32,439
but how many men did you leave on? Base especially

2158
01:54:32,479 --> 01:54:35,920
with runners in scoring? Position you said it was batting

2159
01:54:35,920 --> 01:54:39,680
average one two thirty, eight you, said with risp, yes, yeah.

2160
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:43,319
Speaker 3: What is THE i guess the question is what's the

2161
01:54:43,319 --> 01:54:44,079
average person.

2162
01:54:44,159 --> 01:54:47,279
Speaker 1: Career to fifty? GUY i mean he hit two Thirty oh,

2163
01:54:47,319 --> 01:54:50,239
look he hit two thirty eight overall the whole. SEASON

2164
01:54:50,279 --> 01:54:53,439
i mean he just wasn't. Good, yeah not, enough not enough,

2165
01:54:53,479 --> 01:54:56,720
predicted not enough money to make you, say, well thank

2166
01:54:56,760 --> 01:54:59,000
god the astro has got the first basement spot. Fixed

2167
01:54:59,640 --> 01:55:02,279
maybe be. Better maybe he had that oblique injury last,

2168
01:55:02,359 --> 01:55:05,560
year and maybe that's the reason why they're holding on a.

2169
01:55:05,600 --> 01:55:07,640
Paratus they're, like you know, what if we're really seeing

2170
01:55:07,760 --> 01:55:11,880
the ultimate downfall Of Christian walker's, career we need insurance. Policy,

2171

2338
02:04:36,560 --> 02:04:38,199
in The Western. Conference they are a game and a

2339
02:04:38,199 --> 02:04:41,479
half behind three Seeded. Denver denver lost at home last

2340
02:04:41,520 --> 02:04:43,800
Night Toklahoma. City Oklahoma city led from start to finish

2341
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:46,079
in that. GAME i think the thunder are back to

2342
02:04:46,159 --> 02:04:48,000
being the awesome team that we thought they were going to.

2343
02:04:48,079 --> 02:04:50,560
Be Isa heart And stein's. Back well you're saying This

2344
02:04:50,720 --> 02:04:54,359
december swoons, happen, yep just like The. Rockets Rockets, yes,

2345
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:57,079
finished uh maybe a game or, two about five hundred

2346
02:04:57,119 --> 02:04:59,159
for the month Of january something like. That not. Bad,

2347
02:04:59,640 --> 02:05:03,359
good could have been. Worse so The rockets are the

2348
02:05:03,439 --> 02:05:05,720
two seeds in their. Sights they're two back Of San.

2349
02:05:05,760 --> 02:05:09,319
Antonio San antonio has the two games to one lead

2350
02:05:09,359 --> 02:05:13,319
in the season. Series then the three Seeds denver AND

2351
02:05:13,439 --> 02:05:15,640
i Think denver is up to one of the. Series

2352
02:05:16,239 --> 02:05:18,560
rockets have the four. Seed minnesota is the five. Seed

2353
02:05:18,600 --> 02:05:20,600
they're a half game behind The. Rockets The lakers have

2354
02:05:20,760 --> 02:05:22,720
dropped to nine, back a game and a half behind

2355
02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:25,600
The rockets as the sixth. Seed so the playoffs would begin,

2356
02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:30,039
today which they don't still have thirty h see forty

2357
02:05:30,079 --> 02:05:32,800
seven thirty five games. Left The rockets would be the four.

2358
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:35,039
Seed it would host The Minnesota timberwolves in a seven

2359
02:05:35,199 --> 02:05:41,039
game playoff. Series your, Thoughts rockets in, Six thunder in

2360

2372
02:06:20,119 --> 02:06:25,399
Speaker 1: Fallbating, yes ethical, hoops that's what the the Word victor

Speaker 3: Uses do we have a fabator on The. ROCKETS i don't.

2375
02:06:29,319 --> 02:06:34,720

2376
02:06:34,840 --> 02:06:36,760

thank god THE nba doesn't let the players decide it because. Everything,

2381
02:06:51,560 --> 02:06:56,079
yeah it's JUST i would Say Kevin durant's not, avoubator

2382
02:06:56,159 --> 02:06:58,880
but he's crafty and gets to the foul. LINE i

2383
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:01,600

2384
02:07:01,680 --> 02:07:04,119
fabator and andry and, Look James harden was. Avaalbator J

2387
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:15,960

Speaker 1: Espn but there was some story about Obviously CJ's lack

2562
02:16:38,520 --> 02:16:42,360
of progression since his rookie, season and obviously he went

2563
02:16:42,440 --> 02:16:44,520
from bad to worse in his two playoff. Games and

2564
02:16:44,559 --> 02:16:46,719
we're only dealing with what we most recently. Saw but

2565
02:16:47,239 --> 02:16:50,879
this is when teams start talking about picking up fifth year.

2566
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:53,959
Options next year will be his fourth, season and then you,

2567
02:16:54,120 --> 02:16:56,600
start obviously getting into a conversation about whether or not

2568
02:16:56,680 --> 02:16:59,879
a guy is worth all the money that you would

2569
02:17:00,239 --> 02:17:04,319

five million dollars by five point six nine seven this

2571
02:17:07,440 --> 02:17:10,479
year the fifth year. Option if it's picked, up, boy

2572
02:17:10,520 --> 02:17:13,520
he gets a massive raise to twenty six point five

2573
02:17:13,559 --> 02:17:18,920
to three. Million what are the jobs in? Life? Ross

2574
02:17:18,959 --> 02:17:22,879
can you make five times what you make from one

2575
02:17:23,000 --> 02:17:30,000
year to the. Next good news probably pretty. Rare that's,

2576
02:17:30,360 --> 02:17:39,479
crazy and he's gonna get that picked UP I I

2577
02:17:39,680 --> 02:17:44,680
i unless unless he completely falls apart and is skittish

2578
02:17:44,719 --> 02:17:47,479
for the rest of HIS nfl SEASON i. E twenty twenty.

2579
02:17:47,559 --> 02:17:53,000
Six you're gonna pick that, up even if he's just

2580
02:17:53,120 --> 02:17:56,280
performed like he did during the regular. Season you pick that,

2581
02:17:56,440 --> 02:18:00,760
up then you start thinking of whether or not you're

2582
02:18:00,799 --> 02:18:03,440
going to franchise tag, him which you could do for

2583
02:18:03,479 --> 02:18:05,360
a couple of, years which would put a lot of

2584
02:18:05,360 --> 02:18:06,799
money in his piggy bank because it would be the

2585
02:18:06,799 --> 02:18:09,559
average of top five players at his. Position so he

2586
02:18:09,719 --> 02:18:12,040
can't he WOULDN'T i, know he wouldn't want, it but

2587
02:18:12,120 --> 02:18:14,680
he can't bemoan it because it's gonna put him in rarefied,

2588
02:18:14,719 --> 02:18:17,680
air gonna put him in that in that Dark Prescott

2589
02:18:17,799 --> 02:18:18,760
Josh allen type.

2590
02:18:18,799 --> 02:18:21,959
Speaker 3: Money, yeah they have to. DECIDE i think It's may.

2591
02:18:22,079 --> 02:18:23,639
Speaker 1: Second they have to decide if they're picking up that

2592
02:18:23,680 --> 02:18:27,360
fifth year, option which they, will, man they, will or

2593
02:18:27,360 --> 02:18:29,719
they're going to try to negotiate. SOMETHING i don't. KNOW

2594
02:18:29,840 --> 02:18:31,520
i think you can pick it up and then still,

2595
02:18:31,559 --> 02:18:36,280
negotiate of, course, yes, yes, Yes so how do you

2596
02:18:36,319 --> 02:18:38,319
think it's going to be Before may when they pick it.

2597
02:18:38,399 --> 02:18:40,719
Up how the city's going to rant to that paying

2598
02:18:40,719 --> 02:18:42,920

2599
02:18:43,000 --> 02:18:45,559

Speaker 3: Thinkurreed you appreciate all, right and make me hungry now all,

2633
02:20:16,159 --> 02:20:17,239
Right so back to my point on THIS.

2634
02:20:17,319 --> 02:20:21,840
Speaker 1: Cj, so while they're Anticipating Will anderson getting his, money

2635
02:20:23,200 --> 02:20:26,479
there was a number floored out By Dan graziano that

2636
02:20:26,760 --> 02:20:34,920
says he PREDICTS. Cj stroud four, years two hundred and

2637
02:20:35,040 --> 02:20:38,760
twenty four million, dollars one hundred and ten of that.

2638
02:20:38,959 --> 02:20:55,120
Guaranteed that's north of fifty million dollars a. Year so

2639
02:20:55,239 --> 02:20:58,959
here's what we gotta do you have to, say any

2640
02:20:59,120 --> 02:21:04,639
quarterback worth his? Salt is it this term? Salt, yes.

2641
02:21:06,399 --> 02:21:10,520
Speaker 3: Gets paid abnormally. HIGH i guarantee.

2642
02:21:10,559 --> 02:21:13,559
Speaker 1: You When Trevor lawrence got his mega deal With, Jacksonville

2643
02:21:14,079 --> 02:21:18,600
jaguar fans lost their. Mind but that's the going rate

2644
02:21:18,719 --> 02:21:23,600
for starting quarterbacks in their second. Contracts it would be

2645
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:26,799
more than everyone not Named Dak prescott in terms of

2646
02:21:26,879 --> 02:21:34,600
average annual, Value Alan, Burrow lawrence Love. Tua, yeah that's

2647
02:21:34,600 --> 02:21:36,200
what we were thinking. Of names of the guy that got.

2648
02:21:36,239 --> 02:21:38,600
Paid Daniel, Jones Kyler murray two would be on that.

2649
02:21:38,680 --> 02:21:42,479
List guys who got paid didn't earn six million dollars

2650
02:21:42,520 --> 02:21:46,639
a year for a guy who's skittish in the. Pocket

2651
02:21:48,440 --> 02:21:53,760
concussion ISSUES I E I H. O if you get

2652
02:21:53,959 --> 02:21:55,680
more concussions you get the more like you already get

2653
02:21:55,719 --> 02:21:56,680
more so you can go ip on.

2654
02:21:56,760 --> 02:21:58,879
Speaker 3: That oh MAY i go IP? I so make Sure

2655
02:21:58,879 --> 02:21:59,360
i'm okay with.

2656
02:21:59,440 --> 02:22:07,520
Speaker 1: That all we're doing here when we discussed this and

2657
02:22:07,680 --> 02:22:10,040
as we're pregnant pause this occasionally is think about what's

2658
02:22:10,120 --> 02:22:14,840
coming up because this Storyline rossing ain't going away even

2659
02:22:14,879 --> 02:22:20,559
if he bounce back next. Year, individually if this team

2660
02:22:20,639 --> 02:22:24,719
falls short of AN afc championship. Game everybody's gonna be

2661
02:22:24,760 --> 02:22:28,559
under the microscope on this because it feels like to

2662
02:22:28,639 --> 02:22:30,799
me not that we sit there AND i call individual

2663
02:22:30,840 --> 02:22:32,159
people at their home and say how you feel In

2664
02:22:32,200 --> 02:22:34,120
texan FAIN i own to golf of what the listeners.

2665
02:22:34,159 --> 02:22:40,200
Saying people tweet at. Us this team is fatigued about

2666
02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:43,760
divisional playoff, losses its fan, bases and my guess is

2667
02:22:43,799 --> 02:22:52,719
the team as? Well and what are you rewarding for

2668
02:22:53,239 --> 02:22:55,559
work done over and over again or should you reward

2669
02:22:55,799 --> 02:22:57,520
based off of what you've done for us as an

2670
02:22:57,600 --> 02:23:02,200
organization in exceeding. Expectations the expectations for this football team

2671
02:23:02,280 --> 02:23:05,440
next year are a F c. CHAMPIONSHIP i don't want

2672
02:23:05,440 --> 02:23:07,600
to SAY ft championship or bus because the bus means

2673
02:23:07,600 --> 02:23:11,719
you gotta you'd implode everything you. Said they're Finally General.

2674
02:23:11,760 --> 02:23:17,520
Mander if they, Don't i'm glad you. Listened Nick assario

2676
02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:26,600

02:28:40,239 --> 02:28:42,559
Speaker 1: Call uh enjoyed the.

2779
02:28:42,639 --> 02:28:45,239
Speaker 2: Show uh, LISTEN i got a two.

2780
02:28:45,360 --> 02:28:46,239
Speaker 1: PARTS i don't.

2781
02:28:46,280 --> 02:28:50,440
Speaker 2: Know my opinion is that IF i Was hauna The

2782
02:28:50,639 --> 02:28:54,000
Edge russia for The, TEXANS i take a fly on

2783
02:28:54,120 --> 02:28:57,840
their extension contract because if they give him all that,

2784
02:28:58,000 --> 02:29:02,600
money the team gonna feel they don't necessarily have to

2785
02:29:03,319 --> 02:29:08,719
compliment him or any other player, financially because that's a

2786
02:29:08,799 --> 02:29:13,319
big pool of money allocated to one. Player it's same

2787
02:29:13,440 --> 02:29:19,399
thing that happened WITH Jj watt And Andre. Johnson WHEN

2788
02:29:19,520 --> 02:29:22,200
jj whtte came, up his contract came, up they gave

2789
02:29:22,280 --> 02:29:27,000
him the fifty million deal and after that all on.

2790
02:29:27,239 --> 02:29:32,360
Defense they never ever tried to improve the defense because

2791
02:29:32,399 --> 02:29:35,840
they were scrapped for. Money same thing considered With Andre.

2792
02:29:36,000 --> 02:29:41,120
Johnson so you got two players that is allocating most

2793
02:29:41,360 --> 02:29:48,559
likely had of your. Payroll there's nothing left to attract

2794
02:29:49,280 --> 02:29:54,440
quality championship players to play on your. Team so IF

2795
02:29:54,680 --> 02:29:57,520
i Was, HUNTER i go to the team of my

2796
02:29:57,760 --> 02:30:02,600
choice THAT i would think that had the best possibility

2797
02:30:03,360 --> 02:30:06,040
to reach the Super, bowl because he won't get it

2798
02:30:06,120 --> 02:30:06,360
here In.

2799
02:30:06,479 --> 02:30:09,280
Speaker 1: Houston but that ain't really WHAT i called.

2800
02:30:09,360 --> 02:30:14,520
Speaker 2: FOR i really called because there was a certain talk

2801
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:20,959
show host Wanted jayleen Green out And.

2802
02:30:21,159 --> 02:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Durant in.

2803
02:30:23,959 --> 02:30:28,120
Speaker 2: Hindsight twenty, twenty no one saw The Van fleet injury

2804
02:30:28,920 --> 02:30:35,000
hampering their. BACKCOURT i predict this that track gonna come

2805
02:30:35,079 --> 02:30:36,239
back To hunt The.

2806
02:30:36,399 --> 02:30:39,399
Speaker 1: Rockets durant is no more than a.

2807
02:30:39,479 --> 02:30:42,760
Speaker 2: Score he's like A tracy. McGrady he's like a he's

2808
02:30:42,879 --> 02:30:47,479
like A James. Harten never won a, championship but they can.

2809
02:30:47,559 --> 02:30:51,559
Score they can light it. Up if you Take if

2810
02:30:51,600 --> 02:30:56,399
you Take durant away From Golden state two, years he

2811
02:30:56,479 --> 02:30:59,879
will not have a championship ring because he had Step,

2812
02:31:00,120 --> 02:31:04,959
Curry Klay thompson and Green on that team and all

2813
02:31:05,120 --> 02:31:08,319
he did was. Shoot he didn't have to do nothing.

2814
02:31:08,360 --> 02:31:15,799
Else my prediction is this that. TRADE i think that

2815
02:31:16,200 --> 02:31:20,360
was really pushed by a certain talk show. Hosts, yes

2816
02:31:20,440 --> 02:31:26,360
oh seven Ninety, yes don't come back fight The rockets

2817
02:31:26,799 --> 02:31:28,799
in the bring end in their.

2818
02:31:28,879 --> 02:31:33,440
Speaker 1: Grudles Maximum james got one question for. You remember you
