I mean, 155 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.839 it's who else is our shot? Junior situation is unfortunately 156 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.639 talking about that. Actually when they accused him of overstaying 157 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:48.040 his visa, lying on his application, Uh that here's. 158 00:07:47.800 --> 00:07:53.759 His application, all right, so on there like He didn't lie. 159 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:55.480 There's nothing he lied about he made. 160 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.480 Maybe his visa did expire, and you know, work like 161 00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.319 there is a there's that definitely a fine line between 162 00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.680 work visa and and and athletes who who come in 163 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.199 our country to to fight professionally and things of that nature. 164 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.120 There are differences in that nature. But he did not 165 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:12.040 do anything. 166 00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.759 Wrong on his fighters license. I know a couple of 167 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.240 people posting some things up. I literally went over with 168 00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:20.839 a fine to co. There's even if he did have 169 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.879 a warrant through Mexico, that's not anything that is on 170 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:28.040 his fighter's license. Maybe that that there was something they 171 00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.959 could rebroke his visa. But how is he having a 172 00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.320 you know, this big fight that everyone's known for for 173 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:37.279 months and all of a sudden, now where we're gonna 174 00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:40.120 we're gonna arrest him. I haven't unlessen. The timing of 175 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:41.919 this is really weird, and I have an issue with it. 176 00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:44.000 I have an issue with it as well. I mean, 177 00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:45.679 he's been he's been here for a long time. 178 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.519 I mean they say he lives in like, you know, 179 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:49.759 in a in like a well to do a neighborhood 180 00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:52.679 out there, and you know, out there in Los Angeles, Uh, 181 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.120 he's a he's a well known box I mean he's 182 00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.039 a I mean he's a he's a legacy fighter, and 183 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.720 obviously he's gonna I do believe he's gonna get due process. 184 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.120 But I do a bit with you, Steve at the time, 185 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.240 and it's crazy if you knew about this before the 186 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.919 fight and you let him fight and then you arrest 187 00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.279 him after the fight. It all looks like one big 188 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:12.120 publicity stunt when it comes to to Julio. But the 189 00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.519 one thing Julio's gonna have is gonna have representation. They 190 00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.840 are deporting him back to Mexico for which we don't 191 00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:18.679 know what's gonna happen when he gets there. But I 192 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:22.519 just I understand that ICE has a job to do, 193 00:09:23.240 --> 00:09:25.080 and I understand this, and I understand it's a very 194 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.799 difficult one to do. Like no one understands what ICE 195 00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:30.200 deal with as far as like their family members and 196 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.840 the and and and the people who are employed by ICE. 197 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.159 It just don't look right. It's almost like what it 198 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.679 like like seriously, and said, let me get this straight. 199 00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:42.320 And I'm not getting political at all. I thought ICE 200 00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:45.720 was trying to get you know, criminals, and you. 201 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.519 Know, like I don't listen. I don't let me tell 202 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:48.879 you something. 203 00:09:48.879 --> 00:09:52.320 The word illegals, while a lot of people use it, 204 00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:56.000 it's a very derogatory term because everybody's over here supposed 205 00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:58.279 to get due process. Julio is gonna get due process. 206 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:01.879 I just don't know if they gave him that, because, 207 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.799 like you said, Steven, I got a problem with how 208 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.440 everything was done. This there doesn't get more public figure 209 00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:12.159 than Julio shopping. It just don't. He's not high now, 210 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:16.080 he's a professional boxer. And if and if and if 211 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.720 there was and if there's something that he did that 212 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.600 could easily be undone, I mean. 213 00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:23.960 You do that, you treat people at some level of 214 00:10:24.039 --> 00:10:24.799 human decency. 215 00:10:25.080 --> 00:10:29.360 It's just I mean, his family it's came out and 216 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.799 made some statements, but it just it just looks like 217 00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:35.200 so much of a like we we live in such 218 00:10:35.200 --> 00:10:38.399 a sensationalized world to what now we gotta publicize everything. 219 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.679 We are not here and we're talking about the American 220 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.200 judicial system. Ice, We're not here to try to make 221 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:48.240 mockeries out of people, to try to embarrass people, to 222 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.799 try to fool people. Julio was like, what is this, 223 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.879 I'm doing press conferences y'all been do this, y'all. So yeah, 224 00:10:55.120 --> 00:10:59.960 I don't like it because it sends the wrong message 225 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:02.399 the people who try to do things the right way. 226 00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.600 I mean, if you're gonna, I mean, I don't know 227 00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:09.200 when I saw this, and obviously it's only is me 228 00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:11.440 and is on a lot of major sports networks. It's 229 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.080 just a crazy situation all the way around. But we 230 00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:17.320 do hope that because of who he is, his celebrity, 231 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.440 hopefully you know, his representation, he will be able to 232 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.279 undo what was what was done and hopefully be back 233 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:25.639 in America very very so. 234 00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:26.879 Yeah. 235 00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:29.320 I mean, like I said, it's just the way this 236 00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:32.840 went down, the timing of it, all that stuff. You know, 237 00:11:33.639 --> 00:11:36.240 My thoughts are with you know, you know, you know, 238 00:11:36.320 --> 00:11:39.120 the Chavez family, both post senior and junior. You know, 239 00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.919 I'm sure he you know, I'm sure, I'm sure Pops 240 00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.639 is just as angry as anyone in the family, especially 241 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.279 with you know, everything that he's done to you know, 242 00:11:49.799 --> 00:11:54.200 in the boxing community alone, and you know, it's it's 243 00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:56.200 a tough pillal swallow, y know, I don't you know 244 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.720 there there's like you said, I'm not trying to get 245 00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.279 pulled to go with this, but you know, Uh, there's 246 00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.639 proper channels to go through, there's proper ways to go 247 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.480 about it. I have a hard time believing like this 248 00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:11.399 was this was something that just popped up on the radar. 249 00:12:12.360 --> 00:12:15.159 So I'm not gonna dwell on it too much, just 250 00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:17.679 gonna say, you know, hopefully he's back here in the States, 251 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:19.200 everything get straightened out. 252 00:12:19.000 --> 00:12:24.159 And uh, you know, uh, I firmly believe there's no way. 253 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:28.279 I don't believe that he has any you know, Mexican 254 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:29.720 cartel tie. 255 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:33.200 Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't, I don't, I don't listen. 256 00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:35.960 I don't like that type of reporting because people can 257 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.080 throw a word a legend in front of it. Don't 258 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:41.399 use the word alleged to say things you always want 259 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:43.399 to say about somebody, because if it if it proved 260 00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.840 to be false, like this was a legend, who was 261 00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:47.799 your who was your source? Well, I can't give my 262 00:12:47.879 --> 00:12:51.320 source was a source shoe. No, it's like, stop doing that. 263 00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:53.720 Everybody from Mexico is not a part of the cartel. 264 00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.200 They've probably been affected by the cartail. They probably been 265 00:12:56.440 --> 00:12:59.240 you know, contacted by the cartail. They probably been influenced 266 00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.360 by the cartail, poll be terrorized by the cartail doesn't 267 00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:03.320 make me a part of it. 268 00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:05.840 Yeah, you know, so stop that point. 269 00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:09.159 Yeah, I don't want to get too political with it, 270 00:13:09.320 --> 00:13:12.240 just you know, yeah, it's it's it's it's something that 271 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:15.799 that affects, you know, our combat sports athletes, and you 272 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:18.919 know they you know, they don't have enough voices champion 273 00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:22.200 for them. But now I'm gonna go the other way. 274 00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:27.840 With the results of that past weekend's fight, mister Jake 275 00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:32.279 Paul is now being being officially ranked by the w 276 00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:35.639 a A w b A as the fourteenth Beth cruiserweight 277 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:40.080 in the world. Another thing I have a problem with, Listen, 278 00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:43.320 I don't like Listen. We all know that, you know 279 00:13:43.399 --> 00:13:46.559 the type of fights that Jake puts on, and you know, 280 00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.519 growing the way he's been growing, I don't necessarily have 281 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:53.799 a problem with. My problem always has been, he's fighting 282 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.960 these older guys, He's fighting guys that are not actually boxers, 283 00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:00.759 He's fighting guys out of his weight class. So if 284 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.799 he's already had ten fights and only two of them 285 00:14:03.799 --> 00:14:09.240 have actually been against actual professional boxers, and this one 286 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:12.360 is the first time it's and Chavez is not not 287 00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:15.919 a true cruiserweight either. Le Let's let's let's let's put 288 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.679 that one up there. So how do we now rank 289 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:24.679 this man? And he's only had basically two fights against 290 00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.200 actual boxers and and you know, the last five six, 291 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:31.120 seven years. That's kind of my problem with this. It's 292 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.000 it's it's it's like one of those same things like 293 00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:36.240 when you know, you know, when we're talking about like 294 00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:40.080 the bigger combat sports, you know, guys retired for five 295 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:43.440 six years, and he automatically gets gets a title fight 296 00:14:43.559 --> 00:14:47.639 just based off his name. I have problem with these things, like, uh, 297 00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:49.960 you know, there are some guys that like like to 298 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.320 come into the sport, they disappear to go to what 299 00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:55.039 you know, you see boxers coming into m M A 300 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.000 not nine times out of. 301 00:14:56.879 --> 00:14:58.879 Ten when they go in there, they're not fighting for 302 00:14:58.919 --> 00:14:59.559 a world title. 303 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:03.840 They're fight against a young you know, you know, contender 304 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:05.799 or or guy that it's kind of built his name. 305 00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.039 So I have a. 306 00:15:06.960 --> 00:15:10.559 Problem that we're only two actual boxers and not a 307 00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:14.000 single guy fought at cruiserweighting, not a rank guy, not 308 00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:17.519 an upcoming guy at cruiserweight, and now we're ranking this 309 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.120 is you know, I had had a disagreement with with 310 00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.840 another another knucklehead on TikTok. This is why I say 311 00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:27.000 boxing is dead, because it's corrupt to its core. You 312 00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:30.000 cannot sit there and tell me he's ranked now when 313 00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:33.879 he hasn't even fought a a a cruiser weight in 314 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:37.080 any way shape in regardless they fought at cruiserweight, when 315 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:38.759 when when the fight was sanctioned. 316 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:43.440 I have a problem with this. I love the the 317 00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:45.440 other things that Jake does for this sport. 318 00:15:45.720 --> 00:15:49.480 He is trying to help this help the sport grow 319 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:52.519 in a way where where fighters are not always going 320 00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:55.840 going going to have these great avenues. You know, you 321 00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:59.159 have promoters that that hold guys in and they have 322 00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:01.879 their favorites and things of that nature. What we're gonna 323 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:05.440 see here and in uh less than a week or two, 324 00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:08.519 we're gonna see amnus Aroano and and and and Katie 325 00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:10.759 Taylor fight for a third time on Netflix. 326 00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:12.840 There's gonna be a bunch of big fights on on there. 327 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:15.840 What he's doing as a promoter, you we can't take 328 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:18.000 that away from him, and I won't take that away 329 00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:22.960 from him. That's something that's something he is exceptional at this. 330 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.320 You can't you can't get me to buy into this. 331 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:31.039 So I know you're not the greatest combat sports officionado. 332 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:33.519 But I know you never know enough about boxing to 333 00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.120 know this ain't right. Brother, It's not right. 334 00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:38.120 It's not rifle. It's not right for so many reasons. 335 00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:40.639 Number One, in order to be to me, in order 336 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.480 to be ranking the w B A w B O. 337 00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:45.720 Were you an amateur fight? Did you come up in amateurs? No? 338 00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.720 You know how many fights? 339 00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:50.320 You haven't? Amateurs? Too many in the name, right, Jake 340 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:53.960 Paul is taking advantage of the times when he's a 341 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.200 social media superstar. 342 00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.799 He's a you know, I mean, he's a big time influence. 343 00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:59.879 He's him and his brother, you know what I'm saying, 344 00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:03.039 have really really made names for themselves. But you said 345 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:06.119 it though, this ain't no big card. This can get 346 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.839 promoted through through through these through the avenues that he's 347 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:10.480 built up, through his celebrity and his fame. 348 00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:12.759 Jake Paul is not finna. 349 00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:15.119 Listen.

Jake Paul two 371 00:18:08.720 --> 00:18:10.440 reasons why he will never have a be ranked a 372 00:18:10.440 --> 00:18:13.319 fighter in his prime. Will not fight Jake Paul because 373 00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:16.480 to them, they gonna be like, dude, it's not worth 374 00:18:16.519 --> 00:18:20.240 it to me. I'm gonna I'm gonna bear Jake Paul 375 00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.319 and Jake Listen. Can't Jake Paul fight? 376 00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:23.160 Yeah? 377 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.920 Does that make j Paul a fighter? No, I'm gonna 378 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:27.519 say that again. 379 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:31.400 Anyone that that's worth their salt that has called the 380 00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:35.720 mail you had has seen Rockman Junior's uh uh, you know. 381 00:18:36.319 --> 00:18:38.079 Call him out? You know has seen Rockman. 382 00:18:38.279 --> 00:18:41.279 You know his pop was was a former world champion 383 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.279 and and you know, was he the greatest one. 384 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:45.279 Of all time? Absolutely not. 385 00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:49.319 That's a name in a fight people could respect even 386 00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:51.400 more so. We were just talking about him a few 387 00:18:51.440 --> 00:18:55.279 weeks ago. Just made his BKFC debut. Tommy Morrison sung 388 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:58.319 Kenzy Morrison. You know when he when he you know, 389 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:01.160 he's I think he only has one loss in his 390 00:19:01.200 --> 00:19:04.720 professional boxing career and more than have him or knockouts. 391 00:19:05.039 --> 00:19:07.920 He looked at a spitting image of his dad when 392 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:09.359 he was doing batter knuckle last week. 393 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:14.279 He's been calling Jake out for four years. That's a fight. 394 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:16.119 I don't care if you sit there and says he 395 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:17.599 doesn't have the numbers. 396 00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.559 You're not doing. 397 00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:21.039 You're trying to build your legacy to the point where 398 00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.079 people want to consider you legit. 399 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:25.119 Jake. If you're ever, ever. 400 00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:28.119 Ever, ever gonna gonna think that you're you're gonna legitimize 401 00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:30.839 what you've done so far. Yes, you're learning on the 402 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:35.160 fly against top level combat sports athletes, but you're not 403 00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:39.559 fighting rank guys. Yet, No, you're you cheated your way 404 00:19:39.599 --> 00:19:42.440 into a ranking in the in this way in my opinion. 405 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:46.640 But look like I said, the promoter part, you know, 406 00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:50.319 he's I think Al Bernstein said it the best. 407 00:19:50.519 --> 00:19:51.640 You know, he thinks of it. 408 00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.119 He thinks of Jake Paul sort of how he feels 409 00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.440 about Clint Eastwood. A blow average actor but an amazing 410 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.519 director and producer. He's top noting that in that form, 411 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.359 and I think I'll hit hit that one on the head. 412 00:20:04.839 --> 00:20:08.160 He hit that one on the head that Jake is 413 00:20:08.680 --> 00:20:13.200 a below average fighter, but he is a top not promoter. 414 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.960 He's gonna have to do something major, you know, continue 415 00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.319 fighting some of these rank guys at your age, at 416 00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:24.079 your weight class in order to have a lot of 417 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:26.519 people like me, people like you and other people out 418 00:20:26.519 --> 00:20:30.000 there and and you know in the social media world, 419 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.519 in in the boxing community, to make you feel different 420 00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.640 than it, Uh what you just have. Roy Jones Junior 421 00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.079 said he's never gonna be a world champion, So. 422 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:44.160 No, no, not, Uh, Jake Paul is. Jake Paul is 423 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.400 the real life Creed. And I'm talking about the Michael B. 424 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:49.160 Jordan Creed. He's the real life version of it. Like 425 00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.319 because he's he came out and listen, he came out 426 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:54.319 of nowhere, and we get to hit, We get to 427 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.160 hit celebrity. He became, he was a celebrity. Then he 428 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:00.720 chose com bastball. He chose boxing, and his brother tried 429 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:04.519 to do it. Brother got humbled by Floyd Mayweather realized, dude, 430 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:09.160 this is what Listen. The best amateur boxer in the 431 00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.480 world would destroy Jake Paul if they put him cruisier 432 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:14.480 wights who aren't ranked, if you put him in there, 433 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:17.920 because boxing ain't something you can do in your spare time. 434 00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:19.720 Boxing ain't something I'm passionate about. 435 00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:20.279 Boxing. 436 00:21:20.359 --> 00:21:22.279 Either you do it or you don't do it. And 437 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:24.559 for Jake Paul, he's a slappy look, I'm not taking 438 00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:29.440 away his burgers. Are promoting a fight, but that's not 439 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:32.400 a fight that's gonna be respecting nationally because people like, well, dude, 440 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:34.720 people know you because of how you came up in 441 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.559 the social media influences internet type thing, but that don't 442 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.119 make you a boxer. Will real crucier wats fight you 443 00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:46.480 in their prime, No, because they're not gonna get credit 444 00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.920 for beating you. Only you look good for fighting them. 445 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.279 They're not gonna get any credibility. Never in the history 446 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:55.079 of any sport that you had to come up in 447 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:57.880 where you respected by fighting somebody who's not in your sport. 448 00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:00.640 People say, you're telling me Jake Paul is in the 449 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.519 sport of boxing, but not for real. He ain't respected 450 00:22:04.200 --> 00:22:06.799 by boxers who ain't who that's and he ain't respected 451 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:07.640 by it. You know what I'm saying. 452 00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.519 I mean Spint, I mean Smints. 453 00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:13.400 And and Tank Davis and guys that did it, because 454 00:22:13.440 --> 00:22:15.559 they're like, dude, you know how hard it was for 455 00:22:15.640 --> 00:22:18.079 us to get there, and that's all we've held for done. 456 00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.079 We'd never done nothing but boxing. So I respect Jake Paul, 457 00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:26.559 like you said, as a promoter, But come on, man, 458 00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:29.960 I remember let me tell you. Let me tell you what. 459 00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.079 I remember when Canelo fought Floyd Mayweather, and you know, 460 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.160 and and and every and everybody thinking, oh man, he's 461 00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:38.759 with Golden Boy Promotions. 462 00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:40.400 What what? What did what? 463 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.559 The Floyd Mayweather come out and say, he said, how 464 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.640 how you gonna tell him to beat me? I beat 465 00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:47.599 your boss, Canelo. I've already beat him now this and 466 00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.200 this is a young Canelo. They was like, hey man, 467 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.079 the young gun for the Girl against the Federal where 468 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:54.319 both of them was boxers. One of them was a 469 00:22:54.400 --> 00:22:57.960 veteran boxer. What did Floyd Mayweather do? He boxed the 470 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:00.680 hell out of Canelo. He said, I'm stick. I'm not 471 00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:02.000 gonna stand here in front of you because if I 472 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.640 could call I'm knocked out. Now Canelo is the veteran 473 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:08.279 and it's hard to beat him. Those type of guys 474 00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:10.720 will never fight Jake Paul because no matter what you know, 475 00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:12.559 how they're seeing, they gonna. 476 00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:13.839 Say all the right things to the public. 477 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:16.119 But if you ask a really said, but it's a gimmick, man, 478 00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:18.279 it's a waste of my time. It's a waste of 479 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.880 all the years I put in. I can respect what 480 00:23:20.920 --> 00:23:23.519 he does, but that don't mean he do what I do. No, no, No. 481 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:25.240 Him getting in the ring don't mean he do what 482 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:27.240 I do. He gets to get in the ring because 483 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:29.440 he's a good promoter. And look at who he's fighting 484 00:23:29.480 --> 00:23:33.240 fighting once again, Jake Paul. Bro Now let's talk about 485 00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:37.200 who he's and Anderson Ate Nate and just listen, Nate 486 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:39.880 Anderson Silva, right, you listen. 487 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.480 Natural middleweight one hundred and eighty five pounder. 488 00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.720 Ron Woodling one hundred seventy pounder, Nate Diaz one hundred 489 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:52.519 seventy pound fighter, bet Asker one hundred seventy pound fighter, 490 00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:55.000 Mike Perry, hundred seventy pound fighter. 491 00:23:55.200 --> 00:23:57.200 You see, you see what I'm talking about here? 492 00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:59.160 Yep, yep, yep. 493 00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:01.880 And like I said, like I said. 494 00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:03.920 On this list, tell. 495 00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:09.839 On this list. There I mean, And here's the thing, right, 496 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.279 let me tell you what. Jake Paul is smart enough 497 00:24:12.279 --> 00:24:15.359 to know I'm gonna take a bunch of knockout artists 498 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.079 and combat sports, which is totally a knockout artist in 499 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:23.559 combat sports does not compare to a knockout artist in boxing. 500 00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:28.000 It does not compare. Now do we respect both apps? 501 00:24:28.359 --> 00:24:32.720 Nate Didas is a knock out artist, and Anderson Silva 502 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:35.880 knock out But but but but Anders and Silver knocked 503 00:24:35.920 --> 00:24:37.799 you out in different ways. See were talking about a 504 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:39.839 knock a knock out of UFC. It could come from 505 00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.319 a flying elbow, a flying knee. It ain't always with these, right, 506 00:24:43.559 --> 00:24:45.519 If boxing has got to come with these or it 507 00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.720 ain't coming, you don't believe. And I know we're gonna 508 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:50.039 talk about a mistake with Connor McGregor. What happened with 509 00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:53.559 Connor McGregor stepped in the ring with Floyd. I'm telling 510 00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:55.599 y'all it's a different And then. 511 00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:58.160 Here's the thing, that's what Connor Connors I thought. 512 00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:02.400 I still think what made Honor's special is his reaction 513 00:25:02.519 --> 00:25:06.480 in his hand eye coordinations. What made him special, why 514 00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.240 he had so many knockouts in his career. And yeah, 515 00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:11.559 we're gonna, we're gonna we're gonna change gears here and 516 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:14.319 talk about Connor in a second, because did you did 517 00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:16.559 you see what do you see what trumping is? Today 518 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:22.079 he announced that for for for next year's Fourth of 519 00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.559 July festivities, we are going to have a UFC fight 520 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:33.519 at the White House. What so, of course, who's the 521 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:38.920 first person to reach out its Connor McGregor. And obviously 522 00:25:38.920 --> 00:25:40.799 we we know that just because of the simple fact 523 00:25:40.839 --> 00:25:43.880 that him, him and Connor you know, have been talking. 524 00:25:43.960 --> 00:25:46.839 He's trying to to run for president there in Ireland. 525 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:49.319 But the only fight anyone wants to see this point, 526 00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.680 it has to be the fight that hasn't happened yet. 527 00:25:51.799 --> 00:25:55.400 In Michael Chandler that that that would be like my 528 00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:58.440 initial thoughts if that that does happen, if that's what's 529 00:25:58.640 --> 00:26:02.400 what's gonna happen Connor does finally return, you know, a 530 00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.240 year from that would probably be more than enough time 531 00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:06.160 for him to kind. 532 00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:08.759 Of get himself in in fight shape. 533 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.759 Dana White has kind of already said he loves the idea, 534 00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.960 would love to bring Connor in for a fight like that. 535 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:20.279 But man, has that ever happened, had a major fight 536 00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.279 promotion and the President of the United States said, hey, 537 00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:26.400 let's do it at the lawn of the White House. 538 00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.039 I don't think that's happened since like the early days. 539 00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:33.359 Yeah, emotion, it was just just a you know, two 540 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:35.400 knuckleheads having some fisticuffs. 541 00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:38.480 Yeah, I mean Donald Trump and what you're talking you're 542 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:40.920 talking about a big time promoter. Donald Trump understands. He's 543 00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:43.240 treating the UFC like a It's like you're going to 544 00:26:43.319 --> 00:26:44.839 the movie to see it, to see a movie. You 545 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.000 see coming coming and you know coming in twenty twenty six, 546 00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:53.880 fourth of July, UFC, Washington, DC on the White House lawn. Look, 547 00:26:54.359 --> 00:26:57.480 two things I think Trump Trump Trump tries to have 548 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:00.960 different type of he would have a different type of 549 00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.559 legacy because he's not a he's not a politician, he's 550 00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:05.680 a he's the president. He's like, look, man, I'm gonna 551 00:27:05.720 --> 00:27:08.440 do things differently because you know I'm not. I didn't 552 00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.039 once again, I didn't come up in politics. I wasn't. 553 00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.960 I wasn't in that. I wasn't in the House, I 554 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.000 wasn't in the Senate. I didn't come up as a 555 00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.000 as a governor or a mayor. I got voted in twice. 556 00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:20.480 So I'm gonna do things, and I'm gonna be remember 557 00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:23.640 for Dana White is going to be in this. Dana 558 00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.519 White is gonna be in debt to Donald Trump for 559 00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.839 life if they can pull this off. A guy like 560 00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.599 a guy like a guy like Connor McGregor. He understands, Look, 561 00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:34.839 if I'm standing next to the current president, how y'all 562 00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:37.279 not gonna vote me president of my cut? So I 563 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.680 get it. But and they gonna blow it up. Donald 564 00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:42.279 Trump said, Look, well, he rode to the beat of 565 00:27:42.279 --> 00:27:44.240 his own drum. He doesn't care about what much of 566 00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.799 anybody cares, I mean, thinks or says about him. And man, 567 00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:51.480 he almost gotta do it now, right because he already 568 00:27:51.519 --> 00:27:54.359 he done announced it. So I know that Connor McGregor 569 00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:55.839 is gonna be on that card. I want to see 570 00:27:55.839 --> 00:27:57.119 who else is gonna be on that card. It's not 571 00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.400 gonna be one fight, but somebody, I. 572 00:28:00.400 --> 00:28:01.480 Think that that's something. 573 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.240 Maybe maybe you have guys that you've already had on 574 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:07.319 their contracts. I would like to see a bunch of 575 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:11.759 the guys who have been you know, military veterans who 576 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:17.200 have been been in the sport. Guys like Tim Kennedy, 577 00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:21.119 Brian Stan comes to mind, other guys like that, you know, 578 00:28:21.640 --> 00:28:24.400 Chris Widman, like there, there's a bunch of guys that 579 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.799 that I would like to see kind of a come 580 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.319 out for a fight like that. But it all depends, 581 00:28:29.680 --> 00:28:32.759 you know, uh, you know who they would be going 582 00:28:32.839 --> 00:28:33.240 up against. 583 00:28:33.279 --> 00:28:34.839 What kind of fights he's kind of kind of trying 584 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.119 to put on. So uh, I think he's he is 585 00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.920 going to go spectacle a little bit. But uh, I mean, 586 00:28:40.519 --> 00:28:42.240 I wouldn't blame him at this point in time. 587 00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:46.720 Like I would, I'd try to pull out all the 588 00:28:46.759 --> 00:28:49.240 stops for this one. Like listen, he pulled out all 589 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:50.880 the stops when he did this, when he did the 590 00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.319 sphere right, and they did, they did a lot of 591 00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.519 a lot of the guys that were a lot of 592 00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:59.359 your Latin fighters or Mexican fighters, they did a lot 593 00:28:59.440 --> 00:28:59.839 a lot of. 594 00:28:59.759 --> 00:29:02.400 That is because of the proximity and all that. 595 00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:06.000 I think this one, uh, you know, you you find 596 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:09.200 some guys from the area. One, you find some guys 597 00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.839 that that are military too, and then you find some 598 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:14.559 guys like along the line of Connor Zilpe that that 599 00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.440 that that that that's a legitimate you know, international star. 600 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:20.960 I think you do whatever you can them to make 601 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:25.000 some of those fights memorable.

The world 712 00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.199 respects championships and it's when do you do it and 713 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.480 where you do it? With the Oklahoma Cities done though, 714 00:34:53.159 --> 00:34:56.480 when they had KD, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook at 715 00:34:56.519 --> 00:35:00.800 the same time, and it couldn't have too a better dude. 716 00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:02.400 I mean, he's been in the MVP race like the 717 00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:04.400 last two or three years, I was the lost of Yokic. 718 00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:06.960 Was able to get over the hump this year, proved 719 00:35:07.239 --> 00:35:11.000 and played his best basketball when it counted the most. 720 00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:13.400 I mean, what did everybody say about Steph? Steph won 721 00:35:13.480 --> 00:35:16.199 those three Steph won four championships. How many finals MVP 722 00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:18.880 he got one the most recent one. He won his 723 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:21.960 fourth championship. Who had the other two? Andre Guadala, Kevin Durant, 724 00:35:22.039 --> 00:35:24.719 Kevin Durant. Steph had to prove one, I can win 725 00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:26.360 without those dudes, and two I could be the best 726 00:35:26.360 --> 00:35:29.199 player on the court without those guys. Sga has been 727 00:35:29.199 --> 00:35:31.280 the best, one of the best players in basketball for 728 00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:33.159 like the last two or three years. He finally got 729 00:35:33.199 --> 00:35:36.400 over the hump this year. It wasn't easy. I do 730 00:35:36.440 --> 00:35:38.760 think Halliburton is gonna be back. I don't think he'll 731 00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:40.960 be back at twenty twenty six because and the Killings 732 00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:44.159 tad gonna take a long time. But yeah, I think 733 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:47.559 that's the easiest. That's the easiest contract ever done.

If you know, you're one of 763 00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:06.880 those top top teams. So but yeah, we were talking 764 00:37:06.880 --> 00:37:10.079 about it before, like we need, we need new stars, 765 00:37:10.159 --> 00:37:12.320 new faces in the w A. I believe SGA is 766 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:16.679 only like twenty seven years old. Yeah, it's exactly what 767 00:37:16.840 --> 00:37:18.880 you want. You need, you need a guy like this, 768 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:22.920 you need you need, you need that blood, that new 769 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.280 blood in there because you know, uh, we ain't. 770 00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.800 We ain't gonna see Lebron in there too much longer. 771 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.760 We're gonna get to him in in a minute. 772 00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:34.440 But uh, it's a it's a good thing to see 773 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:38.960 not not only him getting his accolades, him getting the 774 00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:42.199 you know, being the highest paid paid player in the 775 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:45.159 NBA at this point in time, regardless if you agree 776 00:37:45.199 --> 00:37:48.639 with it or not, He's paid his dues over the 777 00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:51.519 last handful of years. You know, he's been at the 778 00:37:51.559 --> 00:37:55.000 top or or you know, in the in the running 779 00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:59.840 for for m VP of the league. So I'm happy 780 00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:04.079 for I'm looking forward to it. What are your thoughts 781 00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.679 on the on the potential remaining free agent. I'm gonna 782 00:38:07.679 --> 00:38:10.719 throw this one in there. My friend that you know, 783 00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:14.519 Damian Lillard think came out and apparently the Bucks weren't 784 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:18.760 happy that he wanted to rehab at home. Eventually led 785 00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:23.400 to his departure there, uh with with the Milwaukee Bucks 786 00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:28.719 and has set off King Yannis and that that still 787 00:38:28.800 --> 00:38:35.440 leaves you know how Al Horford, Chris Paul, the aforementioned Westbrook, Uh, 788 00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:40.719 you know Midlik Beasley, you know the King Crook himself. 789 00:38:41.159 --> 00:38:44.639 Ben Zimmons is still available. What do you think we're 790 00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:45.480 gonna see this? 791 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.400 This this NBA free agency coming up, because I wanted 792 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:51.480 to get to that before we before we touched on 793 00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.559 Lebron and what's going on with him right now. But uh, 794 00:38:56.239 --> 00:38:59.360 it's an interesting thing, you know, watching what's going on 795 00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:04.599 there in Milwaukee, I feel I feel a reboot coming 796 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:07.000 up there. I think I don't think Giannis is gonna 797 00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.440 stay there, despite the fact that him saying that he 798 00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:11.440 wanted to, Yeah. 799 00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:13.400 Yanna is gonna say the right thing because he is 800 00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:15.840 that he is a true professional. But I think it's 801 00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:17.880 time in Milwaukee is up. I think what they was, 802 00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:19.559 what they wanted to get out of him. He more 803 00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:21.199 than lived up to what you're talking about. The MVP 804 00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:24.840 is in the league, won a championship, has never ever 805 00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.840 really made a lot of ways, maybe about himself. I mean, 806 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:30.400 but I think sometimes if I know what I know, 807 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:32.159 what I it's not jis wanted to leave. 808 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:33.519 Is what I can get for him? 809 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:36.119 Man? What could I get? How many first round picks? 810 00:39:36.119 --> 00:39:38.239 How many players can I get? That's gonna be big 811 00:39:38.480 --> 00:39:40.840 when they do decide to move on from Damian Lillard. 812 00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:43.679 I always thought even when he went to Milwaukee, I mean, 813 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:46.639 it was a good thing without a great thing. When 814 00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:48.679 you got when you got a ball dominant guard like 815 00:39:48.760 --> 00:39:51.000 him and did it coming off of injury, you know, 816 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:52.519 you know it was gonna be hard for him to stay. 817 00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:55.159 Al Horford, I mean, you know, two years removed from 818 00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:57.159 a championship with the Celtics. 819 00:39:57.159 --> 00:39:58.800 A guy has been about his rock solids. 820 00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:02.360 You can be good, not great, but Definite still has 821 00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:05.079 quality stars left in him. The fact that Ben Simmons 822 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:09.559 is still even in the NBA, it boggles my mind. 823 00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:11.719 Like Ben Simmons, Ben. 824 00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:13.639 Simmons that was number one overall pick out of LSU 825 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:16.920 and an't even make a tournament. Ben Simmons, that that's 826 00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:19.719 have been all over making money. Ben Simmons, that will 827 00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:22.000 get traded to a team, signed big money to a team, 828 00:40:22.079 --> 00:40:25.199 Jen to Taylor team. I don't want to play Philly, 829 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:27.119 Ben Simmons, the nest Ben Simmons. 830 00:40:27.320 --> 00:40:32.800 Look, Oh man, it's an embarrassment. It is an embarrassing. 831 00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:35.960 Twenty twenty one was the last year he was actually 832 00:40:35.960 --> 00:40:39.880 a productive basketball player. I heard that that he was 833 00:40:39.960 --> 00:40:43.599 asking for more than the veteran league minimum. I don't 834 00:40:43.639 --> 00:40:47.800 know if he's gonna get that anywhere. He's robbed, you know, Philly, 835 00:40:48.360 --> 00:40:53.400 He's robbed the Nuts, He's robbed the Lakers, He's robbed everybody. 836 00:40:55.159 --> 00:40:57.880 I don't I mean the Ben Simmons experiment. 837 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:03.000 I'm not under standy what what they hope to get 838 00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:06.239 from him at this point, Like, look, I don't want 839 00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:08.159 to hear about what he could be. I don't want 840 00:41:08.199 --> 00:41:10.199 to hear about, Hey, man, if he can do this, 841 00:41:10.239 --> 00:41:11.599 and he can do that, if he can do what 842 00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:12.719 play basketball? 843 00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:15.760 Know that we know that for a fact he can 844 00:41:15.840 --> 00:41:16.559 play defense. 845 00:41:17.159 --> 00:41:24.360 But I mean that Ben Simon, absolutely, Ben Simmons is 846 00:41:24.360 --> 00:41:27.519 gonna have to get and I don't take mental health. Uh, 847 00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:30.000 I don't take it lightly. I don't know what's going 848 00:41:30.039 --> 00:41:32.320 on from the neck cup with it, but he just 849 00:41:32.360 --> 00:41:34.880 ain't any right now. And there ain't a person that 850 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:36.880 feeling want to hear nothing about No Ben Simmons. Don't 851 00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:38.679 bring up Ben Simmons to me. I don't want if 852 00:41:38.679 --> 00:41:42.719 you aren't Philadelphia seven, Ben Simmons, if I catch him 853 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:44.159 in it, if I catch him at the light, it's 854 00:41:44.159 --> 00:41:48.000 gonna be road rage. Nothing exactly. He's not a word. 855 00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:52.039 I want to erase that that that that that that 856 00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:54.599 time and space and take can we can we run 857 00:41:54.679 --> 00:41:57.559 this one back? Because that we made a mistake. I mean, 858 00:41:58.119 --> 00:42:00.800 obviously the Sixers have made many mistake through the drafts, 859 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:03.760 through free agency and let this guy stay, letting this 860 00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:06.840 guy go. I mean I've already said I feel that 861 00:42:06.960 --> 00:42:10.159 I feel that they're probably close to a blow up. 862 00:42:10.199 --> 00:42:13.840 I know they're hoping Joel hits that for him when 863 00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:16.159 he When Joel is healthy, he's the best. 864 00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:17.280 Basketball player in the NBA. 865 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:19.599 I know a lot of people might want to argue 866 00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:21.840 that I don't know many seven footers that is that 867 00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:25.840 smooth from behind the three point line. But but listen, 868 00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:31.039 if Joe could get healthy and stay healthy and get 869 00:42:31.119 --> 00:42:34.000 give you eighty two games plus a plus a good 870 00:42:34.079 --> 00:42:37.320 a good playoff run, the seventy six would have been 871 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:40.199 an NBA championship at some point in time over the 872 00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:41.400 last seven years. 873 00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:43.960 But I think. 874 00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:46.960 Tyrese Max he's a great additional piece. I do not 875 00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:50.960 think Paul George is somebody they should they should have kept. 876 00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:54.119 I wouldn't be we're talking about Gianni's being traded. I 877 00:42:54.159 --> 00:42:57.639 wouldn't be surprised to see, uh, Darryl Moory try to 878 00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.719 see what what what he could what he could leverage 879 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:03.159 to to get him out of there. Maybe maybe do 880 00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.119 give up a pick next year, maybe give away of 881 00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:09.960 Paul George and and maybe an additional additional player. 882 00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:12.960 You know that that's it. That'll be the easiest decision 883 00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:15.159 to make. A may listen, we want young what y'all 884 00:43:15.159 --> 00:43:18.960 want you? Paul George the first round pick a second 885 00:43:19.000 --> 00:43:23.119 round pick in another player, because Paul, I mean, Jannis 886 00:43:23.119 --> 00:43:25.039 will take a lot of pressure off. Giannis will play 887 00:43:25.079 --> 00:43:27.400 a lot of pressure off with Joel because with Joel 888 00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:29.159 getting older, as to look, man, you're gonna have to 889 00:43:29.159 --> 00:43:31.719 play closer to the basket. The one thing about Jannis 890 00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.719 Nis don't Ji don't shoot a lot of threes. Jannis 891 00:43:34.719 --> 00:43:37.960 don't shoot a lot period he's playing. I mean, he's 892 00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:40.320 I mean, he's a guy that still has a lot 893 00:43:40.360 --> 00:43:42.920 of a lot left for the take. And Gianni's he 894 00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:45.840 gonna have every GM not named the Milwaukee Bucks GM 895 00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:48.119 on the line, like, yeah, we can add that if 896 00:43:48.159 --> 00:43:51.039 you can't use a bo you ain't you ain't you 897 00:43:51.079 --> 00:43:54.159 ain't serious about winning. Janni's is on the market. Wow, 898 00:43:54.840 --> 00:43:55.360 time player. 899 00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:59.159 We'll see how the how, the how the the off 900 00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:00.760 season plays out for the NBA. 901 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:03.320 But we're gonna have to get to this now. 902 00:44:03.519 --> 00:44:06.920 Obviously, we we we've been we've been ragging on King 903 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.000 James last few weeks, right and rightfully. 904 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.039 So he's been saying some silly things, but you know, uh, 905 00:44:13.679 --> 00:44:15.400 he did sign his tenure. 906 00:44:16.519 --> 00:44:20.079 Fifty two million dollars say saying that he's trying to 907 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:21.599 go after another championship. 908 00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:26.320 I would say this, if you really. 909 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:29.440 Wanted to wanted to go after a championship with the Lakers, 910 00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:32.719 not trying to get get moved to another team, you wouldn't. 911 00:44:32.760 --> 00:44:36.199 You wouldn't have signed the player option. You to decline 912 00:44:36.239 --> 00:44:39.159 the option and signed a contract that was team friendly, 913 00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:41.800 to get some more guys in there to play with 914 00:44:41.840 --> 00:44:45.480 you guys to to really push it. Because we've already 915 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.360 talked about the West. The West one through ay, there's 916 00:44:50.400 --> 00:44:51.119 no wiggle room. 917 00:44:52.159 --> 00:44:52.559 You got. 918 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:57.760 You got legitimate teams that that from from from one 919 00:44:57.800 --> 00:45:00.000 to eight that that that could potentially win a championship. 920 00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:03.119 And none of them are the Los Angeles Lakers, you know, 921 00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:07.039 even with a Luca Dono's I don't. I don't think 922 00:45:07.039 --> 00:45:10.800 they're there. It's not anything against Lebron. I just don't 923 00:45:10.800 --> 00:45:12.559 think they have enough pieces a round them. And when 924 00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:16.960 you're when you're locking yourself into that that that fifty 925 00:45:17.000 --> 00:45:19.639 two million dollar contract, you're not trying to help your 926 00:45:19.639 --> 00:45:20.039 team win. 927 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:21.760 You're still trying to line your pockets. 928 00:45:22.199 --> 00:45:24.440 And and as I said, I wouldn't, I wouldn't be 929 00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:27.920 sur as I said last week, you know or Wednesday. Rather, 930 00:45:28.119 --> 00:45:30.400 I would not be surprised or fault him for going 931 00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:33.320 after another championship, because we we we know what his 932 00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:36.840 ultimate goal is, regardless of what his comments on ring 933 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:39.920 culture is or is it. I think that that that 934 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:43.239 is his goal, and I said it last week. I 935 00:45:43.239 --> 00:45:45.159 think the writings on the wall, I think that the 936 00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:48.320 Lakers are trying to go in a different direction regardless 937 00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:49.920 of him signing the player option. 938 00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:51.519 I think he's another guy. 939 00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:55.159 I think the right deal comes across the Lakers table 940 00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:57.320 that they would they wouldn't hesitate to move him as 941 00:45:57.360 --> 00:45:59.760 long as it gave them a piece, and they just 942 00:45:59.840 --> 00:46:02.079 they just signed a center and just date it. 943 00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:04.280 So now I think it's official. 944 00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:08.159 Lebron James has now officially been on the roster with 945 00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:13.440 the most number one overall draft picks than any player 946 00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:17.800 in NBA history. That that's insane, man, that that that 947 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:18.519 that is insane. 948 00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:21.159 I think if if if he's really serious. 949 00:46:20.800 --> 00:46:24.159 About that, I would I would not I would not 950 00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:27.000 have signed the tenure and I would have declined it. 951 00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:28.599 Found some something team. 952 00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:34.920 Friendly to make sure that you have the most guys in. 953 00:46:33.840 --> 00:46:38.760 Your locker room to do to to help you guys 954 00:46:38.800 --> 00:46:39.599 win a championship. 955 00:46:39.639 --> 00:46:42.480 This is this what your ultimate goal is at the 956 00:46:42.599 --> 00:46:45.159 end of the day, right, so make sure your team 957 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:48.280 could do it. He doesn't need money anymore, so why 958 00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:50.280 why sign the fifty two million dollar tenure? 959 00:46:50.480 --> 00:46:52.079 Am I wrong here? Am I reading this wrong? 960 00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:52.280 Ben? 961 00:46:52.440 --> 00:46:54.440 Tell me, brother, No, no, no, I don't think you read 962 00:46:54.440 --> 00:46:57.920 it wrong. I think I think I think Lebron wants 963 00:46:57.920 --> 00:47:01.840 to win one with Luca. I think Lebron they they they, 964 00:47:01.960 --> 00:47:03.880 I mean the Lakers get Deondrey Aiden for I'm a 965 00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:06.440 number one overall pick. You know, uh, you know out 966 00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:08.920 of Arizona it didn't work out. I was in Phoenix. 967 00:47:10.000 --> 00:47:10.159 Uh. 968 00:47:10.320 --> 00:47:16.320 You talk about Austin Reeves, you talk about ru uh Hakamurura. 969 00:47:17.159 --> 00:47:19.480 I think Lebron is saying that. He's saying, Look, dude, 970 00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:23.719 I want listen. I won with d Wade, one with Botch, 971 00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:25.960 I won with obviously. You know you talk about it 972 00:47:26.079 --> 00:47:30.280 went over there with Kyrie, right, Anthony Davis and Dwight 973 00:47:30.280 --> 00:47:32.239 Howard the reason why I'm the reason why they got 974 00:47:32.280 --> 00:47:35.000 a championship. I want to help Luca win one and 975 00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:39.239 then I'm gone because at that point, because Luca is 976 00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:41.920 the future, no doubt, no doubt about it. Luca is 977 00:47:41.960 --> 00:47:44.679 the future for the Lakers. I want to win one 978 00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:46.320 with Luca. I want to win one with a guy 979 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:49.719 I got a true center. Deondrey Aiden. Austin Reeves is 980 00:47:49.960 --> 00:47:52.719 a nice is a nice guard. I think for Lebron, 981 00:47:54.480 --> 00:47:57.119 Lebron is saying, look, man, I've already done that. I've 982 00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.599 already jumped from team to team, from Cleveland to Miami, 983 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:02.800 Miami back to Cleveland, came to the Lakers. My you know, 984 00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:04.360 I think he's gonna I think he's gonna end it 985 00:48:04.400 --> 00:48:06.480 with the Lakers because at this point, Steemen, he knows 986 00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.079 if I go to a new team, even if it's 987 00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:11.039 a good situation, they gonna change up everything because of me. 988 00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:12.719 I don't even know if if the guys that's in 989 00:48:12.760 --> 00:48:14.599 the building gonna stand in the building, they add the center, 990 00:48:14.679 --> 00:48:18.760 like I say, DeAndre Aden. I think Lebron at this point, 991 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:21.440 no matter what he does, it's gonna be highly scrutinized 992 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.679 because he talks too much. Because Lebron says things that 993 00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:30.239 are unnecessary. Lebron branks unwarranted, unwanted attention to criticism. When 994 00:48:30.239 --> 00:48:32.360 all you gotta do is play like you don't gotta 995 00:48:32.360 --> 00:48:35.760 say anything. Lebron, don't talk about the ring coach. If 996 00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:37.440 you talk about certain people when it comes to the 997 00:48:37.519 --> 00:48:40.480 ring culture, talk about those people, not to say, if 998 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:43.280 it is a culture, you created it. You are the 999 00:48:43.559 --> 00:48:46.639 You are the president and vice president, CEO, founder, you, 1000 00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:49.519 the HR manager, you, the you, the you, the I mean, 1001 00:48:49.519 --> 00:48:52.199 I'm you. You're the human you know. I'm just saying, 1002 00:48:52.320 --> 00:48:55.239 like you all of it. So I I do think 1003 00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:56.760 he wants to win it with the Lakers because you 1004 00:48:56.760 --> 00:48:58.440 know how prest teaches it is and no matter what 1005 00:48:58.719 --> 00:49:01.679 he wants five, he's not gonna get the six. He 1006 00:49:01.760 --> 00:49:03.800 might he's not gonna get the five, really, but he 1007 00:49:03.840 --> 00:49:06.480 wants to have five because he wants to be able 1008 00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:08.320 to say, man, I got the same amount as Kobe, 1009 00:49:08.519 --> 00:49:11.280 same amount as Magic, you know, and those guys. But 1010 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:14.239 I do agree with you with at this point of Lebron. 1011 00:49:16.039 --> 00:49:18.519 You know, he's paying them stats. He can still play. 1012 00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:20.800 Lebron ain't even came off the bench yet. All the 1013 00:49:20.800 --> 00:49:23.280 time you leave you win out. He's still he's still 1014 00:49:23.320 --> 00:49:26.119 gonna be starting. He's still Lebron is still the most 1015 00:49:26.119 --> 00:49:29.800 important player in basketball. He's not the best anymore, but 1016 00:49:29.880 --> 00:49:33.239 he's the most important because everything he does we gonna watch. 1017 00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.679 It's like it's like the Dallas Cowboys of basketball. We 1018 00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:39.559 got to talk about him because it's the Lakers, because 1019 00:49:39.559 --> 00:49:41.320 they're good for business, They're good for headlines. 1020 00:49:41.320 --> 00:49:43.480 They're gonna they're gonna sell tickets. You know they're gonna. 1021 00:49:43.840 --> 00:49:46.039 But uh will, I mean, I think this is gonna 1022 00:49:46.079 --> 00:49:48.400 get me his best shot, not only because you got 1023 00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:51.440 a center, you gotta you got a superstar, Luca, you 1024 00:49:51.519 --> 00:49:52.719 got a guy in offsin Reeves. 1025 00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:53.760 I mentioned real how you know. 1026 00:49:54.440 --> 00:50:01.159 I mean, it's like Lebron just played basketball and more basketball, 1027 00:50:01.280 --> 00:50:04.800 less talking because now Michael Jordan about to be in 1028 00:50:04.800 --> 00:50:06.400 the booth. I don't know who booth he gonna be in. 1029 00:50:06.440 --> 00:50:07.679 How long you're gonna be in there. He can be 1030 00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:10.760 in any boof you want, any network, he won't. It's 1031 00:50:10.840 --> 00:50:14.159 Michael Jordan's. He gonna have a and he gonna have 1032 00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:18.880 a lot to say about Lebron a lot. 1033 00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:23.400 So Michael doesn't doesn't know how to sugarcoat anything. He 1034 00:50:23.440 --> 00:50:28.559 doesn't know politically correct. He just knows facts. And people 1035 00:50:28.599 --> 00:50:31.480 may say that, you know, his his vision on the 1036 00:50:31.519 --> 00:50:34.280 game is skewed and things of that nature. And you 1037 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:37.400 know he's got skin in the game to run Lebron 1038 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.440 to Listen, I said it as soon as they an answer, 1039 00:50:40.519 --> 00:50:42.320 he better, he better retire, and he didn't retire. 1040 00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:45.400 So whatever, whatever, whatever Michael says. 1041 00:50:45.440 --> 00:50:48.320 At this point in time, people going a good portion 1042 00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:52.159 more than half of people who watch basketball are gonna 1043 00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:55.719 get consider that God's word for for lack of a 1044 00:50:55.719 --> 00:51:00.599 better term, and listen. You know, uh, we do critique everybody, 1045 00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:04.119 you know, especially when when it comes to the professional athletes. 1046 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:07.840 We break everything down. I'll keep setting her saying that 1047 00:51:07.920 --> 00:51:10.719 he's a generational player. Some people were like, oh, well 1048 00:51:11.039 --> 00:51:13.239 is it? Is it ironic? And Michael retired the year 1049 00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:15.559 Lebron came in. Oh he was running from the No, 1050 00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:18.159 Michael was done. 1051 00:51:19.599 --> 00:51:23.400 He had accomplished everything he could and he knew it 1052 00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:23.840 didn't matter. 1053 00:51:23.880 --> 00:51:25.760 It didn't matter what he did as as a as 1054 00:51:25.760 --> 00:51:28.480 a you know, as a GM and as a playeruer 1055 00:51:28.599 --> 00:51:31.039 at the same time that technically it was an owner 1056 00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:34.400 and player at the same time, not GM. But it's 1057 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:36.360 one of those things where it's like, you know, what 1058 00:51:36.440 --> 00:51:38.239 else can I can I get to this game? Like 1059 00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:42.039 he's he's played against just about just about everyone we're 1060 00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:44.880 playing against. He played against Kobe, he played against Iverson, 1061 00:51:45.119 --> 00:51:49.639 He's played against Shaq. He he played against probably one 1062 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:53.320 of the greatest errors of basketball we've ever seen. Regardless 1063 00:51:53.320 --> 00:51:55.679 if he if he was the top of the league 1064 00:51:55.679 --> 00:51:58.039 for each each and one of one of those encounters 1065 00:51:58.360 --> 00:51:58.559 or not. 1066 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:02.079 You know, we could debate that, but Michael. 1067 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:05.320 Jordan is is always going to be, you know, you know, 1068 00:52:05.840 --> 00:52:08.480 number one as far as well people concern in in 1069 00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.559 that way just because he's undefeated in championship games. 1070 00:52:14.000 --> 00:52:16.599 And he left and the greatest Saint Michael Jordan did. 1071 00:52:16.639 --> 00:52:19.920 He did a three pat, left to play baseball, came 1072 00:52:19.960 --> 00:52:23.239 back and did a three pat again, which means we 1073 00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:25.760 only could imagine could he have could he have one? 1074 00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:29.199 Could he have won eight straight championship? 1075 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.360 Like like the level of competitive Like that's what separates 1076 00:52:34.519 --> 00:52:39.079 Mike in these conversations when we have you know, is 1077 00:52:39.159 --> 00:52:42.199 Lebron a goat? I mean, he's he's a top five 1078 00:52:42.199 --> 00:52:44.239 player of all time, and like I said, you can 1079 00:52:44.320 --> 00:52:46.920 make arguments for other guys and maybe push him down. 1080 00:52:47.000 --> 00:52:50.079 And like as I say, like as we talk about 1081 00:52:50.079 --> 00:52:51.880 all the time, when when I when I do these 1082 00:52:52.000 --> 00:52:54.679 uh you know these Matt Rushmore is like there's so 1083 00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:57.360 many different variables that we go into this, Like how 1084 00:52:57.360 --> 00:53:01.760 do we properly digest all this off. But he he's 1085 00:53:01.800 --> 00:53:04.000 the ultimate competitor. It's not to sit there and say 1086 00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:07.400 Lebron isn't. It's just how Michael went about it, how 1087 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:10.800 he did it when when he had his chances, he 1088 00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:11.559 didn't falter. 1089 00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:13.280 Was he always the guy taking the shot? 1090 00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:16.519 No, he he was smart enough to know when he 1091 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:18.639 had to take the shot and when he. 1092 00:53:18.639 --> 00:53:19.519 Had to pass off. 1093 00:53:19.599 --> 00:53:22.400 Like like I'm sure to this day, you know, Uh, 1094 00:53:22.880 --> 00:53:25.920 John Paxson is probably thanking him so many times because 1095 00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:29.119 he people know his name because Michael passing the ball 1096 00:53:29.119 --> 00:53:30.920 and he had one of the biggest shots of his life. 1097 00:53:31.840 --> 00:53:35.840 But that's what made Michael special. Is is that that 1098 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:39.079 the little things to know, like to pass it here, 1099 00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:40.199 to take the shot there. 1100 00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:44.159 It's it's what separates him. And you know, it's you know, 1101 00:53:44.239 --> 00:53:45.920 six to Zeroe championship games. 1102 00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:49.639 You know, uh, you know, uh, national championship, didn't didn't 1103 00:53:49.679 --> 00:53:53.440 lose his chance there, two Olympics, didn't lose his chance there. 1104 00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:56.840 Did Lebron went off of his Olympic Olympic chances. 1105 00:53:56.920 --> 00:53:57.000 No. 1106 00:53:57.159 --> 00:53:59.159 See, this is like I said, this is why there's 1107 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:03.719 like there's slight differences. Michael was the ultimate competitor and leader. 1108 00:54:05.760 --> 00:54:09.320 Lebron may be a competitor, a great competitor, a good leader, 1109 00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:11.960 wasn't a great leader, and we can have we can 1110 00:54:12.000 --> 00:54:14.800 have that discussion. I'm not saying that that he isn't 1111 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:17.719 a leader and and guys don't look up to him 1112 00:54:17.760 --> 00:54:19.960 and and things of that and things like that. But 1113 00:54:20.519 --> 00:54:24.159 it wasn't on Mike's level. And that's why he's on 1114 00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:28.800 on that that that different tier. That's why that like 1115 00:54:28.960 --> 00:54:31.239 Kobe's on that different tier. That's why I still sit 1116 00:54:31.280 --> 00:54:34.280 there and say that Lebron isn't the greatest Laker of 1117 00:54:34.280 --> 00:54:34.719 all time. 1118 00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:37.840 Sah no, no, no, that's not that's not even a discussion. 1119 00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:41.679 I mean, you're talking about the greatest laker about in. 1120 00:54:41.679 --> 00:54:45.199 My opinion, and there's nothing wrong with that. Like we're 1121 00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:48.920 chasing the this ntainer like he's chasing the unicorn. 1122 00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:49.320 At this point in time. 1123 00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:55.800 Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's Lebron, Lebron is. We'll never listen, 1124 00:54:55.800 --> 00:54:58.519 We'll never see another Mic again, We'll never see another 1125 00:54:58.599 --> 00:55:01.440 Kobe again, We'll never see another Lebron again. Right when 1126 00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:04.119 you talk about their contributions to the game, well made. 1127 00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:08.719 Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan is. Two coats used to dominate basketball. 1128 00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.000 You had to you had you had the Lakers with magic. 1129 00:55:11.440 --> 00:55:13.199 You had you had and then you had you know, 1130 00:55:13.239 --> 00:55:14.880 the boss, you know, you had the cells it with Bird. 1131 00:55:14.960 --> 00:55:18.760 Here comes this guy out of North Carolina and he 1132 00:55:18.840 --> 00:55:20.920 and he and here he is in the mid you know, 1133 00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:23.840 in the what the uh middle of America, right there 1134 00:55:23.880 --> 00:55:27.599 in Chicago and he and they're like, who in the 1135 00:55:27.639 --> 00:55:29.280 world is this? 1136 00:55:29.519 --> 00:55:31.599 And then he then here comes. 1137 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:35.079 The Dream Team with Carl Malone, with David Robinson, with 1138 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:38.079 with Bird with Magic and who's the best player, barn 1139 00:55:38.360 --> 00:55:40.400 Charge Burr, who the best Michael? 1140 00:55:40.800 --> 00:55:44.280 Michael was the best player on that team bar none. 1141 00:55:45.119 --> 00:55:47.119 Then then you talk about you talk about what he 1142 00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:49.360 meant to the national basketball and so it stays, look 1143 00:55:49.360 --> 00:55:51.679 at what he means the basketball culture, Look at what 1144 00:55:51.719 --> 00:55:53.079 he means to the shoe culture. 1145 00:55:53.719 --> 00:55:56.440 Look at what he means the shoe deals. Exposure. 1146 00:55:56.719 --> 00:55:59.199 Mike paid the way for a lot of He done 1147 00:55:59.239 --> 00:56:01.599 a lot of things for the game that a lot 1148 00:56:01.599 --> 00:56:03.760 of guys get the benefit from. 1149 00:56:03.880 --> 00:56:05.760 The worst thing could have ever happened to Lebron was 1150 00:56:05.840 --> 00:56:06.679 being compared to Mike. 1151 00:56:06.880 --> 00:56:09.480 Just don't do that. Even when Kobe was being compared 1152 00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:12.920 to Mike. Don't do that because that's a losing argument 1153 00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:17.159 for anybody. The only person you can't compare to Mike 1154 00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:20.599 is Kareem Abdul Jabal. That's a conversation. You want to 1155 00:56:20.639 --> 00:56:23.840 talk about the best. Now you can compare Kareem because 1156 00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:27.320 Kareem I think he won five or six and Kareem 1157 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:31.000 did it in college one three. Mike won one. Mike 1158 00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:33.000 was the best playing college. Karea was the best playing college. 1159 00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:35.800 Three years in the row. They were tried Mike Jersey. 1160 00:56:36.159 --> 00:56:38.960 They retired Mike Jersey with Chicago, they retired Kareem Jersey 1161 00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:41.159 High School. They retired to Jersey but UCLA. They retired 1162 00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:43.480 to Jersey form Milwaukee. They retired to Jersey with the Likers. 1163 00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:48.280 All I'm saying is this, the most unstoppable moving basketball 1164 00:56:48.360 --> 00:56:50.320 is the skyhook. I don't know why guys don't want 1165 00:56:50.320 --> 00:56:52.360 to do it. Get out your feelings. Man, It's two 1166 00:56:52.400 --> 00:56:56.400 points and it's guaranteed, So yeah, I do it. When 1167 00:56:56.440 --> 00:57:01.280 it comes to Lebron, I will say this, Lebron gonna 1168 00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:03.920 have to stop playing basketball for us to fully appreciate 1169 00:57:04.039 --> 00:57:05.440 everything he's done. 1170 00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:06.559 Because that's how Mike was. 1171 00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:07.000 Mike was. 1172 00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:11.159 Michael Jordan used to have movies about himself like come 1173 00:57:11.199 --> 00:57:14.280 Fly with Me Airtime. It's like, and all you're doing 1174 00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:17.440 is watching him play basketball. He ain't doing nothing but 1175 00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:19.840 what he does. I think for Lebron it's the same thing. 1176 00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:24.960 It's saying. Look, I've never ever cared about goat conversations because, dude, 1177 00:57:26.199 --> 00:57:28.199 goat is what they tell you. It's not what you 1178 00:57:28.280 --> 00:57:30.679 tell them. You don't tell people what you were. They 1179 00:57:30.719 --> 00:57:32.679 tell you what you were. When you're good at something, 1180 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:34.599 you tell people you're great at it, they tell you. 1181 00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:38.360 And I think for Michael Jordan the last dance, you 1182 00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:40.239 know how many kids that had his shoes on their 1183 00:57:40.239 --> 00:57:42.119 feet saying, wait a minute, dame, that's the dude I 1184 00:57:42.199 --> 00:57:46.920 kept telling you. Michael Jordan was him him, He's Heimmothy, 1185 00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:50.480 his name is Himothy Jordan. You know what I'm saying. 1186 00:57:50.519 --> 00:57:54.639 So yeah, I do. Listen, if Lebron gets a championship 1187 00:57:54.679 --> 00:58:01.079 or not, your Lebron step kd y'all legacies are seeming 1188 00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:03.119 and all you're doing now is trying to add and 1189 00:58:03.719 --> 00:58:04.880 you've already done it. 1190 00:58:05.400 --> 00:58:06.559 You can't do no more. 1191 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:09.320 But if you don't do it, let you play do 1192 00:58:09.440 --> 00:58:12.239 the talking don't do a bunch of talking. Even though 1193 00:58:12.320 --> 00:58:15.159 Draymond Green, you know, he got his own podcast. I'm 1194 00:58:15.199 --> 00:58:16.920 just saying it's like, hey, man, go out there and 1195 00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:18.440 do what you do. Man, let you play. Do it 1196 00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:20.679 for you Lebron James. Man Like, at the end of 1197 00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:24.239 the day, your criticism is just feedback because you and 1198 00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:27.480 to him of the conversation too, you just not listen. 1199 00:58:27.599 --> 00:58:29.679 Somebody said, man, oh man, you one of the greatest ever. 1200 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:33.360 Do it, am I the greatest of all time? That's objective, man, 1201 00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:37.960 because Michael Jordan was no, Michael Jordan is good lord. 1202 00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:42.480 I mean, come on, man, now, we gotta get into that. 1203 00:58:42.559 --> 00:58:44.480 We were talking at the NBA draft. 1204 00:58:44.239 --> 00:58:49.239 A few days ago last week, brother, and the big 1205 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:55.679 topic of conversation was a spell. But but was drafting 1206 00:58:57.400 --> 00:59:02.320 did not fly after Utah did not still hasn't been 1207 00:59:02.320 --> 00:59:07.719 to Utah, you know, to my recollection, Uh, did you 1208 00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:11.320 tall make a mistake here or grabbing grabbing a guy 1209 00:59:11.440 --> 00:59:14.400 like like Ace eighth Bailey, you know, regardless if he plays, 1210 00:59:15.079 --> 00:59:16.960 if he ever plays for you, trade him to go 1211 00:59:17.000 --> 00:59:19.920 where he wants to go, et cetera, or do you 1212 00:59:20.000 --> 00:59:23.000 feel like that this is this is just the nature 1213 00:59:23.039 --> 00:59:26.079 of how some of these kids try to control where 1214 00:59:26.079 --> 00:59:26.719 they end up. 1215 00:59:28.039 --> 00:59:30.079 I think they made a huge mistake for the for 1216 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:33.360 for for for these two reasons. He didn't show up 1217 00:59:33.360 --> 00:59:35.159 and work out with you before the before the come 1218 00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:38.519 you know, before before the actual draft. Red flag number one. 1219 00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:42.960 When you draft him, he don't. He don't show up. 1220 00:59:43.079 --> 00:59:45.239 He hasn't been there. He hasn't been out there yet. 1221 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:49.320 When you start catering to a player who hasn't done 1222 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:51.840 anything in the NBA, who you don't know how he's 1223 00:59:51.880 --> 00:59:54.840 gonna pan out when he does get there, why are 1224 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:57.639 you is a's mainly did player? I guess I mean 1225 00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:00.320 went to rug because I mean, yeah, our remember he 1226 01:00:00.360 --> 01:00:03.199 won missing basketball for the state of Georgia. But here's 1227 01:00:03.199 --> 01:00:06.760 the thing, right, the last time he was the best 1228 01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:07.599 player in the country. 1229 01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:09.920 Is the best player is when he was in Georgia. 1230 01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:10.239 He wasn't. 1231 01:00:10.360 --> 01:00:12.239 He wasn't the best player. He wasn't the best player 1232 01:00:12.239 --> 01:00:15.280 in college basketball. I don't think. I don't think. I 1233 01:00:15.280 --> 01:00:17.559 don't think. Now he's an incredible scorer. Now he can 1234 01:00:17.559 --> 01:00:20.519 score the basket, but he's in the NBA. Now, most 1235 01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:24.239 guys in the NBA can scored buckets, right, I just 1236 01:00:24.320 --> 01:00:28.559 think that when you give too much leeway, too much 1237 01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:31.639 grace and credits to a player that ain't even on 1238 01:00:31.679 --> 01:00:32.039 your team. 1239 01:00:32.119 --> 01:00:34.199 He on your team, but he ain't contributed nothing. 1240 01:00:35.440 --> 01:00:38.039 You already you already short listen, number one, you got 1241 01:00:38.039 --> 01:00:38.840 to win that locker room. 1242 01:00:38.880 --> 01:00:41.320 You got to win over your teammates. You ain't doing 1243 01:00:41.320 --> 01:00:41.920 that right now. 1244 01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:45.000 And in such a and we listen, we in the 1245 01:00:45.159 --> 01:00:49.280 n I l entitlement type world right now when the 1246 01:00:49.320 --> 01:00:53.079 coming certain athletes. The best guard in college basketball in 1247 01:00:53.159 --> 01:00:57.360 twenty twenty four was Walter Clayton.

Oh 1268 01:01:59.360 --> 01:02:01.440 they gonna remember is Wait a minute, you're making a 1269 01:02:01.480 --> 01:02:03.639 microy of what I do because you don't like who 1270 01:02:03.679 --> 01:02:05.360 pitch you and you the fifth overall pig. 1271 01:02:05.400 --> 01:02:09.480 All right, I got you, I got you, I got. 1272 01:02:11.360 --> 01:02:14.000 Listen. All I'm saying is I'm glad my sexters didn't 1273 01:02:14.000 --> 01:02:14.360 take him. 1274 01:02:14.400 --> 01:02:18.480 I know, uh, I know when when the things were 1275 01:02:18.519 --> 01:02:20.400 blowing down to it looked like that we were gonna 1276 01:02:20.400 --> 01:02:21.800 stay there and draft somebody. 1277 01:02:22.400 --> 01:02:24.880 Uh he was initially was on there. 1278 01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.280 Then as soon as he basically when you talk about 1279 01:02:28.360 --> 01:02:30.400 he didn't work out, he didn't work out for anybody. 1280 01:02:30.599 --> 01:02:30.800 It was. 1281 01:02:30.960 --> 01:02:33.760 It wasn't just Utah. He didn't work out for anybody. 1282 01:02:34.000 --> 01:02:35.880 And I think that is the that that is the 1283 01:02:35.920 --> 01:02:39.639 biggest red flag that anyone could ever make. So I mean, 1284 01:02:40.199 --> 01:02:43.199 is he gonna be a good, a great basketball player? 1285 01:02:43.199 --> 01:02:49.159 That that's that's to be argued, debated and seen. So yeah, 1286 01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:51.320 I think Utah has gotta gotta mess on their hands. 1287 01:02:51.320 --> 01:02:54.760 And yeah, you don't care to to somebody like this. 1288 01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:58.119 You know, he's not he's he's not you know, a 1289 01:02:58.199 --> 01:03:01.880 generational talent. He's not you know, a seventeen you know, 1290 01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:05.039 seventeen eighteen year old phenom coming out of high school 1291 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:07.639 that is, without a doubt, you know, has. 1292 01:03:07.280 --> 01:03:10.840 Like he's not a little Lebron Lebron James. No, he's 1293 01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:11.199 not that. 1294 01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:14.320 So you can't be you can't be doing things along 1295 01:03:14.360 --> 01:03:18.039 these lines as you're trying to go from being a 1296 01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:21.000 young man to a young adult as being a professional 1297 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:21.880 basketball player. 1298 01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:23.760 So yeah, I think Utah's in some trouble. 1299 01:03:24.119 --> 01:03:26.519 I would not be surprised to see him dealt to 1300 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:29.679 wherever his true destination would What. 1301 01:03:30.039 --> 01:03:34.000 Was That's a that's an argument and discussion for another day. 1302 01:03:34.599 --> 01:03:36.840 But meaning to get into this, We've been talking a 1303 01:03:36.840 --> 01:03:39.480 lot of w NBA people have been upset about me 1304 01:03:39.519 --> 01:03:42.199 and Ben's takes on tick times like they gonna get 1305 01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:44.400 even more more upset. I don't care what you like, 1306 01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:48.199 what you don't like. We're gonna talk about about the facts, 1307 01:03:48.280 --> 01:03:50.679 not feelings. We've already said that on here. You can 1308 01:03:50.679 --> 01:03:53.599 get in your feelings about whatever you don't feel like. Listen, 1309 01:03:53.639 --> 01:03:56.280 we give everyone their flowers, but but we keep it 1310 01:03:56.320 --> 01:03:59.519 real here. So uh and as far as keeping it real, 1311 01:04:00.559 --> 01:04:03.320 we got some problems. We already talked about this. You know, 1312 01:04:04.000 --> 01:04:05.920 earlier in the year, you know, w n B A 1313 01:04:05.960 --> 01:04:11.519 players have officially rejected the first CBA offer from from them. Uh, 1314 01:04:11.559 --> 01:04:15.119 you know, Phoenix Mercury players have basically uh said it 1315 01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:18.199 with the proposal was a was a slap in the face. 1316 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:20.920 I don't know what you what we would call a 1317 01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:23.119 slap in the face. Considering the fact that we know, 1318 01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:27.360 like you guys are still in the red. You're still 1319 01:04:27.400 --> 01:04:30.440 not not not you're still losing money, not making money. 1320 01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:34.280 But you guys are probably at your your the last 1321 01:04:34.280 --> 01:04:40.440 few draft classes, you have injected yourself with probably the best. 1322 01:04:39.920 --> 01:04:41.159 Talent that you've seen. 1323 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:44.239 And that's no disrespect to you know, the shareff Swoops 1324 01:04:44.239 --> 01:04:46.639 of the world that's come through you know, you know, 1325 01:04:46.679 --> 01:04:48.440 the Dawn Stalleys of the world. Like you know we 1326 01:04:48.480 --> 01:04:51.400 can name off all all these great players I've already 1327 01:04:51.400 --> 01:04:53.719 came before. That's not to take anything away from them. 1328 01:04:53.800 --> 01:04:56.280 I'm just talking about league wide. I don't think you've 1329 01:04:56.320 --> 01:04:59.400 seen this much talent at at a at a out 1330 01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:02.920 of the female basketball players. And sometimes you know, obviously, 1331 01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:07.599 you know, we talk heavy on on Caitlyn Clark on 1332 01:05:08.079 --> 01:05:11.000 Angel Reese, and these are just two stars. 1333 01:05:11.239 --> 01:05:14.760 These are two of the faces of the league at 1334 01:05:14.760 --> 01:05:15.119 the time. 1335 01:05:15.960 --> 01:05:18.480 I still don't think neither one of those two are 1336 01:05:18.719 --> 01:05:21.800 are a top five player in the league right now. 1337 01:05:21.800 --> 01:05:25.639 I think there's somebody who is helping the league grow 1338 01:05:25.719 --> 01:05:28.960 exponentially in a way they've never seen before. I think 1339 01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:31.639 this draft class is even better than the one we 1340 01:05:31.760 --> 01:05:35.159 had last year. You know, you know, Sophie Conneyhm's been 1341 01:05:35.199 --> 01:05:37.679 already putting out there page has been doing her thing 1342 01:05:37.840 --> 01:05:38.840 like like you're. 1343 01:05:38.719 --> 01:05:41.880 Getting a great, a great class of athletes right now. 1344 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:46.480 And I think it would be a monumental mistake to 1345 01:05:46.519 --> 01:05:49.960 try to do, you know, a player strike, a union strike, 1346 01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:53.760 however you want a word that, because you feel this 1347 01:05:53.880 --> 01:05:55.320 offer isn't where you want it to be. 1348 01:05:55.400 --> 01:05:56.519 I think as. 1349 01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:58.800 Long as you guys are getting you know, a five 1350 01:05:59.280 --> 01:06:03.679 fifteen percent raise on what where your contracts are currently at. 1351 01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:05.800 Then I don't think it is a slap in the face. 1352 01:06:05.840 --> 01:06:09.800 You're still doing revenue sharing from the NBA to keep 1353 01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:13.440 you guys aflute. You're you know, you're you're just in 1354 01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:17.400 the pricess it of expanding to almost twenty teams at 1355 01:06:17.400 --> 01:06:21.760 this point in time. You're getting the growth. Don't don't 1356 01:06:21.800 --> 01:06:24.920 stop the growth. Don't stop the train moving forward, keep 1357 01:06:24.960 --> 01:06:28.400 it going. Find some common ground. You know, maybe maybe 1358 01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.599 you only sign it to year CBA. You know, maybe 1359 01:06:31.599 --> 01:06:33.920 you don't you don't go, you know, a five year, 1360 01:06:34.000 --> 01:06:37.519 ten year, et cetera. You go something short term. Maybe 1361 01:06:37.559 --> 01:06:38.239 you always. 1362 01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:40.119 Sign a one year CBA and see come back to 1363 01:06:40.159 --> 01:06:44.480 the table next year. But don't don't sit there and 1364 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:46.159 and and you know, you know. 1365 01:06:46.159 --> 01:06:48.679 Cut off your nose despite your faces. As as the 1366 01:06:48.719 --> 01:06:53.519 saying goes, I think rejecting this one. You know, well, 1367 01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:56.400 I didn't get the actual numbers on what it was yet, 1368 01:06:56.440 --> 01:06:59.400 but I want to get your thoughts on this me. 1369 01:06:59.400 --> 01:07:02.920 And you've already kind of kind of like discuss this. 1370 01:07:02.920 --> 01:07:05.159 This is a this is a bad idea. This is 1371 01:07:05.159 --> 01:07:06.840 the route that these players are going. 1372 01:07:07.599 --> 01:07:11.519 Yeah, popularity and productivity doesn't really equate, you know, to profitability. 1373 01:07:11.599 --> 01:07:13.159 And I think you say the best. 1374 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:15.679 I don't think the wn man has ever been more 1375 01:07:15.719 --> 01:07:17.880 popular than it is right now. Right, I don't think 1376 01:07:17.920 --> 01:07:21.159 it's been more eyes than it's ever been. But you 1377 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:25.119 got to make money. You take any business that's not 1378 01:07:25.159 --> 01:07:27.679 making money, most of the time, they're not around anymore. 1379 01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:32.440 They're given the NBA is making sure that it's given. Uh, 1380 01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:38.400 the w NBA time, money, resources, and patience. Well, when 1381 01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:40.519 you say as a slap in the face, is it 1382 01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:44.760 because what you expect to get and what the numbers 1383 01:07:44.760 --> 01:07:47.079 say we can afford to give you, it's two total 1384 01:07:47.079 --> 01:07:51.679 different things. And I think sometimes Stephen, when you're not 1385 01:07:51.760 --> 01:07:55.840 in these negotiating rooms, at these negotiating tables, perception is 1386 01:07:55.880 --> 01:07:59.800 not reality. Bottom line is we're still operating in the 1387 01:07:59.800 --> 01:08:02.760 red now. I don't think they have to deal with 1388 01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:06.400 regular flights. They get charter flights. Now they're getting better. Well, 1389 01:08:06.960 --> 01:08:10.840 everything you get is an upgrade costs more money. Charter 1390 01:08:10.920 --> 01:08:13.519 fly is gonna cost more money, and I get it. 1391 01:08:13.559 --> 01:08:17.079 But when everybody doesn't get endorsedment with them, a lot 1392 01:08:17.079 --> 01:08:19.880 of these young ladies they have to go overseas to 1393 01:08:19.880 --> 01:08:22.960 make money to the same their life. Everybody got a 1394 01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:25.119 kayle To Clark or Angel Reese or a Page or 1395 01:08:25.199 --> 01:08:28.600 Britain for Brittany Steward and those guys, those girls. But 1396 01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:34.279 I think sometimes Steven, when they sitting down the negotiating table, 1397 01:08:34.399 --> 01:08:38.239 that's where reality hits. Ain't no crowds in there, ain't 1398 01:08:38.239 --> 01:08:40.800 no Cayler Clarks, Angel Reese is in there. You know. 1399 01:08:41.399 --> 01:08:44.960 It's it's it's saying this is where we are, this 1400 01:08:45.000 --> 01:08:48.239 is where we need to be to just break even. 1401 01:08:48.319 --> 01:08:52.399 We're not even breaking even. We're not breaking anything just 1402 01:08:52.479 --> 01:08:56.520 because when Angel Reason came Clark played, y'all had recognimbers. 1403 01:08:56.560 --> 01:09:00.560 That's one game out of all games throughout the season. 1404 01:09:00.640 --> 01:09:02.399 So I do agree. 1405 01:09:03.000 --> 01:09:05.039 Sometimes, man, you got to bite the bullet to keep 1406 01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:09.079 the momentum going because if y'all doing d strike, no 1407 01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:12.720 one knows. Because here's the thing. If you do gonna 1408 01:09:12.760 --> 01:09:16.520 strike using to lift the strike, you gotta agree to 1409 01:09:16.520 --> 01:09:19.840 the CBA. They not gonna those numbers. I can't pour 1410 01:09:19.840 --> 01:09:23.239 a numbers from something that's not there. If it's not there, 1411 01:09:23.279 --> 01:09:25.840 I got to give you what we got and thank 1412 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:28.439 God for the NBA, or there will be no w 1413 01:09:28.640 --> 01:09:32.399 n b A. So we are doing our best to 1414 01:09:32.439 --> 01:09:33.840 try to meet in the middle. In the middle, and 1415 01:09:33.960 --> 01:09:35.840 I always gonna be it ain't. It ain't gonna feel 1416 01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:39.600 the same. But if if the momentum that they have 1417 01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:41.640 right now is haulted because they want to go on strike, 1418 01:09:42.159 --> 01:09:44.479 I can respect it, but it's not gonna be good 1419 01:09:44.840 --> 01:09:46.920 because the one thing that the w n b A 1420 01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:49.840 players do not have is leverage. You don't have any 1421 01:09:51.039 --> 01:09:53.800 you just don't. And the only way you gain leverage 1422 01:09:54.079 --> 01:09:59.199 is through it's through eyes, TV deals, revenue and making money. 1423 01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:02.720 You're not making any money. So, like I said, Stee, 1424 01:10:02.720 --> 01:10:04.840 if you don't know too many things that's been you've 1425 01:10:04.920 --> 01:10:09.119 never heard of, excuse me a professional league that's been 1426 01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:12.000 in the red this long that's still around, that's never happened, 1427 01:10:12.760 --> 01:10:16.680 never if this, if this was, if this was the NBA, 1428 01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:18.520 they would have to shut it down. That we can't 1429 01:10:18.600 --> 01:10:21.239 go on without no money. So I don't I don't 1430 01:10:21.239 --> 01:10:23.199 know where the numbers are. I know, and listen, I'm 1431 01:10:23.199 --> 01:10:26.399 not saying the numbers aren't disrespectful, but the fact they 1432 01:10:26.439 --> 01:10:29.399 got any numbers at all and y'all ain't making no money. 1433 01:10:29.479 --> 01:10:32.199 Think about that. They're trying to come to the table 1434 01:10:32.279 --> 01:10:36.159 with something, and you don't think that something is enough. Okay, 1435 01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:38.319 So where are we supposed to get the other money 1436 01:10:38.359 --> 01:10:39.880 that y'all want to make y'all agree to it. 1437 01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:41.439 Where's that money's supposed to come from? 1438 01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:45.000 Because guess what if we pulling money from here to 1439 01:10:45.119 --> 01:10:48.520 satisfy there, that mean we're gonna be pulling money from somewhere. 1440 01:10:48.600 --> 01:10:50.560 So so you might have to go from charter flights 1441 01:10:50.560 --> 01:10:51.640 and no charter flights. 1442 01:10:51.359 --> 01:10:55.000 Again like this, It ain't college where you got bruisters. 1443 01:10:55.079 --> 01:10:58.079 Just just throwing money at the university, and the NBA 1444 01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:00.399 is only gonna throw money at you for so along. 1445 01:11:02.000 --> 01:11:03.560 Wow, Wow, while they're. 1446 01:11:03.399 --> 01:11:07.079 They're they're waiting for you to patiently turn you know, 1447 01:11:07.279 --> 01:11:10.840 you know, turn red to black. So we'll we'll see 1448 01:11:10.840 --> 01:11:15.880 how it develops. Like I said, I hope whoever whoever's 1449 01:11:16.199 --> 01:11:18.840 in charge of, you know, the players Union, et cetera, 1450 01:11:18.960 --> 01:11:21.680 it's smart enough to not allow them to walk. 1451 01:11:21.720 --> 01:11:21.960 I know. 1452 01:11:22.560 --> 01:11:23.159 Uh. 1453 01:11:23.239 --> 01:11:26.600 During the offseason, Angel Reeves was basically saying that they should. 1454 01:11:26.880 --> 01:11:29.520 I think that would be foolhearted and silly. You don't 1455 01:11:29.600 --> 01:11:32.039 you don't stop the train from moving forward when the 1456 01:11:32.079 --> 01:11:34.039 train's going as faces as. 1457 01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:35.640 It's ever gone at this point in time. 1458 01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:40.000 So uh again, we'll we'll see how everything shakes out 1459 01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:42.720 if they can come to agreement. Like I said, if 1460 01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:45.279 they're smart, you know that they only signed something for 1461 01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:47.960 a few years, and and see what the growth is 1462 01:11:48.399 --> 01:11:51.039 over the next few to see if they do get it, 1463 01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:53.640 that they do get into the black and they do 1464 01:11:53.800 --> 01:11:56.520 start to see more growth and things like you're you're 1465 01:11:56.560 --> 01:11:58.880 gonna be bringing three more teams in over the next 1466 01:11:58.960 --> 01:12:02.960 five years.

Man, come on, let's do it. 1527 01:14:54.680 --> 01:15:00.640 Mark McGuire, huh, Sammy Sosa, huh like that. The home 1528 01:15:00.720 --> 01:15:04.199 run Derby is the premier event in the All The 1529 01:15:04.239 --> 01:15:06.800 All Star Game is incredible because you can't fake it. 1530 01:15:07.239 --> 01:15:10.520 But the home run Derby, I mean, Chris Breman back 1531 01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:13.000 back back, back back back.

Lebron never got in it. I don't 1539 01:15:31.319 --> 01:15:33.199 know why he didn't get in it. You don't got 1540 01:15:33.239 --> 01:15:34.840 to win it, man, I mean sometime it's just the 1541 01:15:34.880 --> 01:15:37.399 bragging rights. But yeah, I do, I do. I do 1542 01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:40.199 home to see Petere Lonzo, Aaron Judge a tiny and 1543 01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:43.239 Juan Soto jumping that thing and maybe we'll get a surprise. 1544 01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:45.800 But come on, man, jump into freaking thing. It ain't 1545 01:15:45.800 --> 01:15:46.199 gonna hurt. 1546 01:15:46.279 --> 01:15:47.119 It's not gonna hurt. 1547 01:15:48.279 --> 01:15:51.600 I think it's it's it's slightly become like almost like 1548 01:15:51.640 --> 01:15:55.039 a Madden Curse type type thing, right, because a lot 1549 01:15:55.039 --> 01:15:57.079 of these guys, you know that they do the home 1550 01:15:57.159 --> 01:15:59.000 run Derby and then all of a sudden after the 1551 01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:03.640 All Star Green there, it's kind of I think why 1552 01:16:03.680 --> 01:16:05.520 a lot of guys are starting to stay away from it. 1553 01:16:05.760 --> 01:16:07.239 But I totally agree with you. 1554 01:16:07.439 --> 01:16:10.479 When we're talking about the All Star Game, it's almost 1555 01:16:10.479 --> 01:16:12.479 the actual game is almost irrelevant. 1556 01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:14.600 The only thing that that that the. 1557 01:16:14.520 --> 01:16:17.399 Fans want to see, even the players want to see, 1558 01:16:17.720 --> 01:16:19.039 is who's gonna enter in. 1559 01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:21.560 The home Run Derby and who's who's gonna win it. 1560 01:16:22.399 --> 01:16:25.439 I am just prayful that that, uh, none of my 1561 01:16:25.479 --> 01:16:26.199 phillies getting in. 1562 01:16:26.239 --> 01:16:28.319 I don't want to see Kyle Schwarber in it. I don't. 1563 01:16:28.359 --> 01:16:30.680 I don't you know. I think we we We've seen 1564 01:16:30.720 --> 01:16:32.880 Alec Bowman it last year. Don't want to see him 1565 01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:36.279 in it this year. He finally got his swing going right. 1566 01:16:36.680 --> 01:16:38.760 But I think that's what it is, is is that 1567 01:16:39.600 --> 01:16:41.439 when you do the home run Derby, it kind of 1568 01:16:41.840 --> 01:16:44.199 changes the way you're looking at things, changing the way 1569 01:16:44.359 --> 01:16:47.840 you swing at things and it does affect you moving forward. 1570 01:16:47.960 --> 01:16:52.640 And slumps are real in baseball, man, it is real. 1571 01:16:52.720 --> 01:16:57.880 So uh uh for for for for me saying who 1572 01:16:58.000 --> 01:16:59.439 who I want to add it? I just don't want 1573 01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:01.640 to Philly and let Ronald coon you in. 1574 01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:04.600 Let let him add another trophy to the trophy case. 1575 01:17:04.800 --> 01:17:07.119 He got the m v P, he's gotten, he's got 1576 01:17:07.239 --> 01:17:10.079 himself a world Series title. Let him get talk run 1577 01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:10.920 Derby Championship. 1578 01:17:11.000 --> 01:17:14.119 Now, I mean, listen, he listen. Let's see. I mean, 1579 01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:16.680 I'm looking here. He's been he's been in. He's been 1580 01:17:16.720 --> 01:17:19.079 in like he's been a home run derby I think 1581 01:17:19.119 --> 01:17:21.439 like three times. But he was in it in twenty 1582 01:17:21.439 --> 01:17:22.920 twenty two when he won the m v P. In 1583 01:17:22.960 --> 01:17:25.479 twenty twenty three, I thought, people like, look he wanted 1584 01:17:25.520 --> 01:17:28.079 he won v N L N v P. That's and 1585 01:17:28.159 --> 01:17:30.079 you know that's the same you're Bryce Harper said. 1586 01:17:30.479 --> 01:17:30.920 Twenty four. 1587 01:17:31.039 --> 01:17:32.760 He said, no, that's saying you're Bryce Harper said, I 1588 01:17:32.760 --> 01:17:35.479 think Royland cuen j sucks. But then he came back 1589 01:17:35.520 --> 01:17:37.760 and said, man, I was just talking. Man, I don't 1590 01:17:37.800 --> 01:17:38.520 mean that, you know. 1591 01:17:38.840 --> 01:17:42.680 My listener, it's it's it's it's we already know what 1592 01:17:42.720 --> 01:17:45.520 it is it's mental warfare, like of course these guys 1593 01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:48.760 can't really do like I still think the playoff win. Uh, 1594 01:17:48.920 --> 01:17:50.800 after he hits the home run and he just points 1595 01:17:50.840 --> 01:17:53.479 out him, I think that was that was one of 1596 01:17:53.520 --> 01:17:54.039 those numbers. 1597 01:17:54.079 --> 01:17:56.239 It's like all right, all right, all. 1598 01:17:56.199 --> 01:17:59.840 Right, Like if it's moments like that is kind of 1599 01:17:59.840 --> 01:18:01.359 what makes baseball cool. 1600 01:18:01.399 --> 01:18:05.119 But uh, I do think we we we uh. 1601 01:18:05.239 --> 01:18:06.880 We do need to get get a little bit more 1602 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:09.319 star power in there. I'm with you with uh with 1603 01:18:09.319 --> 01:18:12.039 with the get no tany in there. I think that 1604 01:18:12.039 --> 01:18:13.560 that would that would be cool. I don't know if 1605 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:18.840 he will or won't, but it is the the premiere 1606 01:18:20.720 --> 01:18:23.399 all must must watch event when when it comes to 1607 01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:27.760 All Star Game, it's it's the only thing that is 1608 01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:31.640 saving them in that aspect. And actually I want to 1609 01:18:31.680 --> 01:18:34.159 go further back more. I want to see see them 1610 01:18:34.560 --> 01:18:36.960 keep their uniforms. I don't want to see in all 1611 01:18:37.000 --> 01:18:39.960 an All Star Game uniforms or anything like that anymore. 1612 01:18:40.239 --> 01:18:42.279 Go back to how it was, let them play with 1613 01:18:42.319 --> 01:18:43.119 their uniforms. 1614 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:45.840 Like how the last time I remember watching the All 1615 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:49.800 Star Game was when Randy Johnson buzzed John Cruck and 1616 01:18:49.840 --> 01:18:51.199 John Craft is like now, but I'm good. 1617 01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:54.520 I'm good. He was. 1618 01:18:54.800 --> 01:18:58.159 He was swinging defensively after that, Like, we don't have 1619 01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:01.279 these moments anymore in the All Star Game, and I 1620 01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:04.600 think it's why I think the home run Derby has 1621 01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:08.039 taken prestige over the game. Make the game like game 1622 01:19:08.079 --> 01:19:10.880 important again. I agree, like you can't you can't fake 1623 01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:13.800 it in baseball. It's not like it's not like the 1624 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:17.279 you know, flag football that they've done to the Pro Bowl. 1625 01:19:17.439 --> 01:19:19.520 Me and You've already talked about how you fix that 1626 01:19:19.640 --> 01:19:24.239 in football. But it is the premiere event for All 1627 01:19:24.279 --> 01:19:27.600 Star Game weekend, and I do hope we get a 1628 01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:30.439 little bit more more power to it. I would like 1629 01:19:30.479 --> 01:19:33.159 to see an Aaron Judge, you know, you know, I 1630 01:19:33.199 --> 01:19:36.239 would like to see a want a Jan Soto compete 1631 01:19:36.239 --> 01:19:39.520 as well. I don't know if they will. We'll see 1632 01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:43.199 how it all shakes out. But I'm definitely definitely excited 1633 01:19:43.239 --> 01:19:46.319 for the for the home run Derby as I always am. 1634 01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:50.000 So definitely wanted to put that one out there for you. 1635 01:19:50.039 --> 01:19:51.880 I wanted to get your thoughts on that one.

This is why I like, I have 1789 01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:38.600 problems with placement with it, but overall not you know, 1790 01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:40.960 I'm not I'm not gonna tear you know, you know, 1791 01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:44.479 tear tear this uh, this writer that, this content creator 1792 01:27:44.479 --> 01:27:48.720 apart for their list.

For 1798 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:08.760 a lot of reasons. Jamar Chase coming out the Triple Crown. 1799 01:28:09.199 --> 01:28:13.079 He doesn't have any weaknesses to his game. Short short passes, 1800 01:28:13.319 --> 01:28:15.439 taking for the house, can go deep and go across 1801 01:28:15.479 --> 01:28:18.279 the middle, care route you up, hat speed, has the hands, 1802 01:28:18.319 --> 01:28:19.159 has the tenacity. 1803 01:28:19.880 --> 01:28:22.039 I got Jamar Chase number one receiver in the league. 1804 01:28:22.119 --> 01:28:25.960 Right now, I'm gonna honer out. I have already picked 1805 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:27.399 him the number one on the list. 1806 01:28:27.439 --> 01:28:32.920 Before it's it's A J. Brown. He's listen, listen. 1807 01:28:33.199 --> 01:28:37.600 He he he is is a special guy, both on 1808 01:28:37.640 --> 01:28:43.840 the field the intangibles as a leader. You know, no, no, 1809 01:28:44.039 --> 01:28:46.920 he owns the slant. Nobody, no, nobody does the slam 1810 01:28:47.000 --> 01:28:49.840 for for better and and I don't see a whole 1811 01:28:49.880 --> 01:28:51.920 lot of people taking it to the house. He's got 1812 01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.680 three different times over the four over the over the 1813 01:28:54.680 --> 01:28:55.680 past few years he's. 1814 01:28:55.560 --> 01:28:58.439 Been in the Philadelphia where he's taking slants to the house. 1815 01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:02.119 It's not an easy thing to do. Most guys, most 1816 01:29:02.159 --> 01:29:04.560 guys that you know, you're you're you're you know. 1817 01:29:05.680 --> 01:29:08.359 And that being said there, I've seen Jamar Chase turn 1818 01:29:08.359 --> 01:29:11.920 a curvel route into a touchdown. So he's he's two 1819 01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:14.199 on my list, like you know, and we do this 1820 01:29:14.279 --> 01:29:16.239 all the time, you know, Jamar Chase. 1821 01:29:16.000 --> 01:29:16.279 And A J. 1822 01:29:16.439 --> 01:29:19.279 Brown's you know, one, A one, B. Hell. 1823 01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:22.840 You know, we can even make an argument for the 1824 01:29:22.880 --> 01:29:25.199 next guy would be on my list will be you know, 1825 01:29:25.319 --> 01:29:26.359 you know one see. 1826 01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:28.119 But you know you actually have to give him a 1827 01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:28.880 ranking here. A J. 1828 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:32.000 Brown is my number one. You know you'd already set 1829 01:29:32.039 --> 01:29:34.680 him as number as your number one. He's my number two. 1830 01:29:35.439 --> 01:29:38.239 Is Jamar Chase, Who is your number two on this list? 1831 01:29:38.439 --> 01:29:39.880 My number? My number two was A J. 1832 01:29:40.039 --> 01:29:40.319 Brown. 1833 01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:41.520 I mean I think that a J. 1834 01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:42.000 Brown. 1835 01:29:42.039 --> 01:29:46.159 But everything for everything you just mentioned, because a J. 1836 01:29:46.359 --> 01:29:49.880 Brown, A J. Brown can do. He's the meanest receiver 1837 01:29:49.920 --> 01:29:53.319 in football. He plays football with an edge on him. 1838 01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:56.159 He don't like dbs. You don't like the fact that 1839 01:29:56.199 --> 01:29:58.359 the Tennessee Titans didn't think he would worth twenty mil. 1840 01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:00.520 Like I work more than that. I want to give 1841 01:30:00.520 --> 01:30:03.880 me seventeen. I think I think A J. Brown can 1842 01:30:04.000 --> 01:30:05.880 route you up. He's the number one guy. He can 1843 01:30:05.920 --> 01:30:08.960 play on the outside, playing the slap blocks.

And you know, it's hard to 1958 01:35:22.520 --> 01:35:26.079 try to tell tell a high level athlete of that 1959 01:35:26.199 --> 01:35:28.439 nature that that, you know, they need to come back 1960 01:35:28.479 --> 01:35:30.199 down to earth a little bit and be more about 1961 01:35:30.199 --> 01:35:30.560 the team. 1962 01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:32.800 Like he's got all the other accolades. 1963 01:35:32.800 --> 01:35:38.720 I mean, he you know, it's it's rough and another thing, 1964 01:35:38.800 --> 01:35:40.640 like as you're saying, he's not happy where he was, 1965 01:35:41.039 --> 01:35:43.720 I wouldn't be surprised to see something happened to him 1966 01:35:43.760 --> 01:35:46.079 wind up in Kansas City again sometime over the next 1967 01:35:46.119 --> 01:35:50.800 few years. I know the there'd be a hard, hard 1968 01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:54.479 re engagement with with the Kansas City fans, But I 1969 01:35:54.520 --> 01:35:55.760 truly think that that. 1970 01:35:55.640 --> 01:35:59.640 They all made a mistake. I mean, obviously Kansas City 1971 01:35:59.680 --> 01:36:01.039 want more won that trade. 1972 01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:04.760 Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, most definitely they want They 1973 01:36:04.760 --> 01:36:07.319 don't want super Bowls without him. I think I think 1974 01:36:07.399 --> 01:36:09.760 they were they would like to have Tyreek back, but 1975 01:36:09.800 --> 01:36:11.720 they would want Tyreek to be like, look, man, we 1976 01:36:11.720 --> 01:36:13.560 want we want you back, man, but we don't want 1977 01:36:13.560 --> 01:36:16.000 the antics no more. Man. It's all about It's all 1978 01:36:16.039 --> 01:36:18.720 about Peter Homes, It's all about Andy Reid, it's all 1979 01:36:18.720 --> 01:36:19.399 about the squad. 1980 01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:19.640 Man. 1981 01:36:19.680 --> 01:36:22.239 We know since then, you know, got married, had a 1982 01:36:22.239 --> 01:36:25.079 bunch of kids. Hey, man, just keep it about keep 1983 01:36:25.079 --> 01:36:27.239 it about football, man, less about the brand, more about 1984 01:36:27.239 --> 01:36:28.079 the more about. 1985 01:36:27.880 --> 01:36:33.800 Canasit now we'll all go at seven. 1986 01:36:34.920 --> 01:36:36.199 No, I know, I think I got no. I think 1987 01:36:36.239 --> 01:36:37.840 I gotta do my number six real quick. I think 1988 01:36:37.840 --> 01:36:39.880 I did five. My number six is Ceedee Lamb. I 1989 01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:41.760 got Ceenee Lamb at number six. 1990 01:36:41.920 --> 01:36:42.199 I got. 1991 01:36:42.199 --> 01:36:45.520 I got c D the slack King, the sly king. 1992 01:36:46.119 --> 01:36:48.680 He is a slack king. Mama, say Brown will say 1993 01:36:48.720 --> 01:36:51.079 something about that. But I got Ceedee Lamb as my 1994 01:36:51.159 --> 01:36:51.720 number six. 1995 01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:57.039 Yeah, I don't got him on my list. I'm not listen. 1996 01:36:57.119 --> 01:37:00.880 Man. He had a chance last year when Dak wasn't 1997 01:37:00.960 --> 01:37:04.319 there to be the guy, and what happened. 1998 01:37:04.359 --> 01:37:07.079 He disappeared. I have a problem with that. 1999 01:37:07.239 --> 01:37:09.079 A lot of these guys on this list. It doesn't 2000 01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:12.239 matter who the quarterback is. If there's an injury, if 2001 01:37:12.279 --> 01:37:16.840 the offensive lines mad, they perform regardless. And that's why 2002 01:37:16.960 --> 01:37:19.800 I don't like. You can call me, you know, I'm 2003 01:37:19.800 --> 01:37:21.840 an Eagles fan, I'm a hater or whatever. I still 2004 01:37:21.880 --> 01:37:24.159 respect talent when I see it. I'm not sitting there 2005 01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:26.039 saying he doesn't have the talent to be on this list. 2006 01:37:26.079 --> 01:37:28.439 I'm just saying what I've seen from him over the 2007 01:37:28.520 --> 01:37:31.239 last few years, I wouldn't put him there. And we're 2008 01:37:31.800 --> 01:37:33.920 as I said, he's the slock King is because that's 2009 01:37:33.920 --> 01:37:36.800 the that's the only time we see him do well, 2010 01:37:37.119 --> 01:37:39.800 not when he's mashed up with the best cornerback, even 2011 01:37:39.840 --> 01:37:41.920 not when he's mashed up with the second best quarterback. 2012 01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:44.880 He picks the weak, weakest. Lincoln picks on them. And 2013 01:37:44.920 --> 01:37:46.920 that's why I have a problem. I can't consider him 2014 01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:51.000 a top receiver. When you were talking about slock Kings, 2015 01:37:51.000 --> 01:37:53.680 these guys move around, they're not They're not staying there. 2016 01:37:53.960 --> 01:37:56.079 He stays in the slot and that's where he gets. 2017 01:37:56.399 --> 01:37:58.159 That's where he gets most of his numbers. 2018 01:37:58.359 --> 01:38:00.479 Is why I refer to him and that that nature. 2019 01:38:00.560 --> 01:38:05.079 So he you know, non spoiler alert, he's not in my. 2020 01:38:05.119 --> 01:38:08.079 Top ten, but I respect it. 2021 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:08.880 I respect it. 2022 01:38:09.760 --> 01:38:11.880 My seven is the guy's moved around a little bit. 2023 01:38:12.640 --> 01:38:14.159 You know, he's been he's been in a couple of 2024 01:38:14.159 --> 01:38:16.960 places the last few years. Just signed a deal with 2025 01:38:16.960 --> 01:38:20.359 with with the Los Angeles Rams. Mister Davonte Adams, I 2026 01:38:20.399 --> 01:38:23.560 think he's gonna do wonders down there. Him and Pooping 2027 01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:26.399 to it are gonna are gonna take pair up shop 2028 01:38:26.640 --> 01:38:29.560 and and and uh you know, uh keep the back 2029 01:38:29.640 --> 01:38:32.560 end of Matt Stafford's career, Uh prosperous. 2030 01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:35.079 Hopefully that that offensive line keeps him up right. 2031 01:38:35.159 --> 01:38:37.880 And uh, you know, I think that's a that's a 2032 01:38:37.920 --> 01:38:42.159 scary duo down there in l A. I like Davonta Adams, 2033 01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:45.399 I like Pooping into it. I think Pooka can can 2034 01:38:45.479 --> 01:38:48.319 play anywhere, run anywhere. He hurts you in so many 2035 01:38:48.319 --> 01:38:50.640 different ways. But Davontae Adams. 2036 01:38:50.199 --> 01:38:53.479 Is is is a supreme athlete. 2037 01:38:53.279 --> 01:38:56.039 He's another one of these guys that can just play 2038 01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:56.920 you all over the field. 2039 01:38:56.920 --> 01:38:59.840 So it's gonna be interesting to see how he plays 2040 01:39:00.239 --> 01:39:05.840 in the Sean McVay system. So I'm interested to see that, obviously. 2041 01:39:05.399 --> 01:39:09.279 As an Eagles fan, terrified terrified of that because you know, 2042 01:39:09.640 --> 01:39:12.239 you can slow down a Cooper a couple of times, 2043 01:39:12.279 --> 01:39:14.800 you can, you can you can scheme away and Pooking 2044 01:39:14.840 --> 01:39:15.640 the two at a time. 2045 01:39:16.119 --> 01:39:18.600 Davonte Alla can catch any type of ball. Man. 2046 01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:22.560 No, I mean, listen, I'm you know, I like your 2047 01:39:22.600 --> 01:39:24.560 number seven with that, but I'm gonna go with this team. Man, 2048 01:39:24.720 --> 01:39:27.760 I got I got Pooka at number seven for everything 2049 01:39:27.800 --> 01:39:29.600 you just said, I mean, whok is the reason why 2050 01:39:29.640 --> 01:39:30.760 Cooper Cupp is out of town. 2051 01:39:31.520 --> 01:39:32.600 Hooker is a guy. 2052 01:39:32.359 --> 01:39:34.600 That sizy kme may only been in the league two years, 2053 01:39:34.600 --> 01:39:37.800 will catch everything. I mean, not a burner, right, not 2054 01:39:37.880 --> 01:39:40.039 a burner, but no, just just know how to get 2055 01:39:40.079 --> 01:39:42.560 up when you need a big play, whether that's going 2056 01:39:42.560 --> 01:39:44.359 down the scene, running it, you know, running and running 2057 01:39:44.359 --> 01:39:46.880 in between the numbers, in between the hash. Pooka has 2058 01:39:46.960 --> 01:39:50.640 jailed extremely well and that Sean McVay system, and he 2059 01:39:50.720 --> 01:39:53.560 and Matthew Stafford loves him. My number seven, Pooking the 2060 01:39:53.600 --> 01:39:56.479 coop of everything I said, everything you said, mm hmm. 2061 01:39:57.359 --> 01:39:59.920 Now as we're as we're getting into it, number eight, 2062 01:40:00.319 --> 01:40:03.840 I'm coming back to Philadelphia. Slim Reaper. He is the 2063 01:40:03.880 --> 01:40:07.000 best number two in football. If AJ Brown wasn't there, 2064 01:40:07.039 --> 01:40:10.439 he would absolutely be number one. His tape, his catches 2065 01:40:10.479 --> 01:40:14.640 are ridiculous, one handers, over the over the top, you know, 2066 01:40:14.760 --> 01:40:18.000 you know, toe tapping on the sideline. He ain't scared 2067 01:40:18.039 --> 01:40:20.680 to go over over the middle and catch heat. And 2068 01:40:20.720 --> 01:40:24.760 he's on he's barely one hundred and eighty pounds soaking wet. 2069 01:40:25.079 --> 01:40:27.880 So I mean he's got the heart of a lion. 2070 01:40:28.039 --> 01:40:31.279 He's got, he's got the re you know, he's won 2071 01:40:31.319 --> 01:40:32.319 at every level. 2072 01:40:33.840 --> 01:40:34.760 I don't know why you. 2073 01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:37.600 Don't see him on more of these lists, but that's 2074 01:40:37.680 --> 01:40:41.199 always subjective. Obviously, thirty two teams, a lot of guys 2075 01:40:41.239 --> 01:40:44.359 got got got some really good, good wide receivers on there. 2076 01:40:44.640 --> 01:40:46.960 You could say I'm biased. All you want, look at 2077 01:40:46.960 --> 01:40:48.800 the man's tape and then come back and tell me 2078 01:40:48.840 --> 01:40:49.239 I'm wrong. 2079 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:51.560 My number eight is de Vonte Smith. 2080 01:40:51.960 --> 01:40:54.560 My number eight is a Vonte Smith as well. I mean, 2081 01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:57.359 I think he already got over four thousand yards in 2082 01:40:57.359 --> 01:41:02.520 his career, like almost thirty tendowns over three catches. Devonda Smith. 2083 01:41:02.560 --> 01:41:04.800 I mean he's the best number two you're gonna see. 2084 01:41:05.279 --> 01:41:07.439 Every time you need to play, you think you better 2085 01:41:07.520 --> 01:41:09.119 take away the aja you ain't been taking away De 2086 01:41:09.159 --> 01:41:11.520 Varonna Smith. He gonna tell your other court, he gonna 2087 01:41:11.520 --> 01:41:13.640 tell your sacred cornerback up, he gonna tell your slot 2088 01:41:13.680 --> 01:41:16.479 cornerback up and the safety is all they could do 2089 01:41:16.520 --> 01:41:18.640 is hope they can. Look, man, you play safety, boy, 2090 01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:21.199 reason you play safety, because you're good play court. Devonda 2091 01:41:21.279 --> 01:41:26.479 Smith high trophy, win, a super Bowl champion. But on Sundays, man, 2092 01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:29.479 he's a different monster. People said to the dude and 2093 01:41:29.600 --> 01:41:33.560 his size dominated in the NFL. The answer is yes, yes, 2094 01:41:33.640 --> 01:41:38.000 and yes. Divonda Smith my number eight receiver in the league. 2095 01:41:38.560 --> 01:41:41.680 And my number nine was your one before mister Poopa Natua. 2096 01:41:42.399 --> 01:41:44.479 You know he ran Cooper Cup out of town. He 2097 01:41:44.560 --> 01:41:47.279 sent him to send him to Seattle Man. So I 2098 01:41:47.319 --> 01:41:52.039 mean he plays hurt. He runs the round three amazing, 2099 01:41:52.199 --> 01:41:55.720 you know. And Sean McVeigh got an actual gym when 2100 01:41:56.199 --> 01:41:58.920 they picked him up out of the draft. What he's 2101 01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:01.079 done in his two years in the league, you can't, 2102 01:42:01.319 --> 01:42:04.039 you can't. He can't shy away from that. 2103 01:42:04.640 --> 01:42:04.800 You know. 2104 01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:07.720 If he was in the league a little bit longer, 2105 01:42:07.800 --> 01:42:09.800 maybe you might see him a little bit higher on 2106 01:42:09.840 --> 01:42:10.239 the list. 2107 01:42:10.319 --> 01:42:12.880 But uh, you know, my number nine is pooka. Who 2108 01:42:12.880 --> 01:42:14.159 do you who do you got a nine?

You 2133 01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:22.800 know with Keenan Allen and all all them. I like 2134 01:43:22.880 --> 01:43:24.640 the production we're seeing out him. I like, I like 2135 01:43:24.720 --> 01:43:28.239 how how he plays the game. Well, we'll see see 2136 01:43:28.279 --> 01:43:31.039 if he proves me right. I think he is a 2137 01:43:31.079 --> 01:43:33.800 top ten receiver in the league right now. You know, 2138 01:43:34.239 --> 01:43:38.800 you know, obviously, you know, having multiple different quarterbacks over 2139 01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:42.039 the over the last few years hasn't been a good, 2140 01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:42.960 good recipe. 2141 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:45.119 But we'll see how it all plays that for him. 2142 01:43:46.399 --> 01:43:47.640 I like DJ Bore. 2143 01:43:48.479 --> 01:43:49.840 My number ten is the guy that. 2144 01:43:51.319 --> 01:43:52.920 You know, He's a guy that to me, he's been 2145 01:43:52.920 --> 01:43:55.399 being very productive, you know for a team that nobody's 2146 01:43:55.720 --> 01:43:57.600 to do a whole lot, but they ahead a schedule. 2147 01:43:57.880 --> 01:44:00.880 My number ten is Nico College. Like way Nico plays 2148 01:44:00.880 --> 01:44:03.560 for them, Houston Texas man, Like I know that Tank 2149 01:44:04.039 --> 01:44:05.720 is a guy that plays well for but he can't 2150 01:44:05.720 --> 01:44:08.760 stay healthy. Stefan Diggins had a cup of corpet with him. 2151 01:44:08.800 --> 01:44:11.319 He got hurt. I like the way Nico Collage plays, 2152 01:44:11.680 --> 01:44:13.479 but Houston man, he is the go to guy when 2153 01:44:13.520 --> 01:44:15.399 you need it. But if you to Texas a him 2154 01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:18.239 and that CJ. Strod got something going, big receiver. That 2155 01:44:18.319 --> 01:44:21.000 boy is from that boy from Alabama and Winne, Michigan. 2156 01:44:21.399 --> 01:44:23.840 That's a long way from home. But yeah, man, it 2157 01:44:23.880 --> 01:44:25.600 really really been done to give me Miico Collins my 2158 01:44:25.680 --> 01:44:28.520 top riding out, my number ten riding out the top ten, 2159 01:44:28.960 --> 01:44:30.359 or my top ten receivers in the league. 2160 01:44:31.119 --> 01:44:34.800 Nico, Brandon Ayuk, Mike Evans, and Cedee Lamb are kind 2161 01:44:34.800 --> 01:44:38.520 of like my my tweeters in that area. But listen, 2162 01:44:39.159 --> 01:44:43.119 I think DJ ain't getting the love I do. Like Nico, 2163 01:44:43.239 --> 01:44:45.399 I think I think he's not getting his love there. 2164 01:44:45.439 --> 01:44:48.279 He was behind Stefan Diggs for the last few years. 2165 01:44:48.279 --> 01:44:53.079 Stephan's now down there in New England, so we'll see 2166 01:44:53.119 --> 01:44:56.640 if his star really shines this year with c J. 2167 01:44:56.800 --> 01:45:00.640 Stroud. Don't mind the Nico pick with all that. 2168 01:45:00.840 --> 01:45:04.079 Like I said, I just gave you my honorable mentions 2169 01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:05.920 there that that were my tweeners that that you know 2170 01:45:05.960 --> 01:45:08.439 you could have swapped out for DJ. You know, Mike 2171 01:45:08.479 --> 01:45:11.279 Evans has been doing this thing a long time. Yeah, 2172 01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:16.439 he's he's a special receiver. Brandon Ayu don't get the 2173 01:45:16.479 --> 01:45:19.439 love that that that he should. Everyone's talking talking about, 2174 01:45:19.800 --> 01:45:23.119 you know, the contract, the injury he's got brock Purty there. 2175 01:45:23.199 --> 01:45:25.520 Now we're gonna we're gonna see if if that duo 2176 01:45:25.640 --> 01:45:27.680 was real really meant to be what we what it 2177 01:45:27.760 --> 01:45:30.720 is now that debo is it is is. 2178 01:45:30.439 --> 01:45:33.520 A Washington commander. So there's a lot of variables with 2179 01:45:33.560 --> 01:45:34.479 some of these other guys. 2180 01:45:34.560 --> 01:45:36.920 And we'll see how the season plays out and and 2181 01:45:37.000 --> 01:45:39.079 see if we still feel the same way about about 2182 01:45:39.119 --> 01:45:41.439 this guy and these guys in this list as we 2183 01:45:41.600 --> 01:45:43.880 uh as we get uh get to the end of 2184 01:45:43.880 --> 01:45:46.720 the end of the twenty twenty five season. But I 2185 01:45:46.760 --> 01:45:48.920 think uh, I think, you know, for the most part, 2186 01:45:48.920 --> 01:45:51.600 we we we were all kind of agreement, agreement with 2187 01:45:51.600 --> 01:45:54.600 the good oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. 2188 01:45:54.640 --> 01:45:57.239 Brian Thomas Jr. Elite nighbors on my honorable mentions. I 2189 01:45:57.279 --> 01:45:59.920 know they was rookies last year, but they coming. But 2190 01:46:00.039 --> 01:46:02.279 Ryan Thomas Jr. Being the better of the two, even 2191 01:46:02.279 --> 01:46:05.159 though my elite nables is nasty up there with the 2192 01:46:05.199 --> 01:46:05.760 New York. 2193 01:46:06.520 --> 01:46:08.560 The better talent, but he's on the worst team. 2194 01:46:08.840 --> 01:46:11.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can agree with that. But hey man, 2195 01:46:11.000 --> 01:46:13.279 we'll see. You know, I like the I like the listen. 2196 01:46:13.319 --> 01:46:16.359 I'm always uh, I'm always showing love, you know, uh, 2197 01:46:16.479 --> 01:46:18.920 you know, you tell my Davonte Adams Mike Evans now 2198 01:46:19.119 --> 01:46:21.520 the two old best still still finding a way to 2199 01:46:21.520 --> 01:46:24.039 get it done. I know, Cooper Cup is gonna prove 2200 01:46:24.079 --> 01:46:25.600 to the world. Man, I'm still in the National the 2201 01:46:25.600 --> 01:46:27.680 Football League, and I'm gonna try to go and prove 2202 01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:31.199 myself again.

But 2205 01:46:35.439 --> 01:46:41.479 Drake London in the top fifteen. Yeah, man, top fifteen 2206 01:46:41.520 --> 01:46:44.359 receiving in my foot thirteen hundred yards last year, you know, 2207 01:46:44.399 --> 01:46:48.159 and it had Kirk Cousins throwing in the bout Kirk Cousins. 2208 01:46:48.840 --> 01:46:54.119 So you know, yeah, like, yeah, I think we touched 2209 01:46:54.159 --> 01:46:56.000 on a little bit of a little bit of everything. 2210 01:46:56.159 --> 01:46:56.840 Uh. You know. 2211 01:46:57.039 --> 01:46:59.840 One of the one of the last ones I'm going 2212 01:46:59.920 --> 01:47:04.439 to do is is a topic that that the team typically. 2213 01:47:04.199 --> 01:47:06.800 Runs here on there is uh what's going on in 2214 01:47:06.840 --> 01:47:10.159 your town?

Uh, if you haven't heard, my, my, my, 2225 01:47:39.520 --> 01:47:43.840 howks did trade for Porzingis? Porzingis is a hawk now, 2226 01:47:44.439 --> 01:47:47.239 whether he like it or not, he's a hawk. Uh 2227 01:47:47.279 --> 01:47:48.279 in my Atlanta Falcons. 2228 01:47:48.279 --> 01:47:48.439 Man. 2229 01:47:48.439 --> 01:47:50.520 I mean, listen, no news is good news. I mean 2230 01:47:50.760 --> 01:47:53.119 the fact that Darren Waller got came out of retirement, 2231 01:47:53.199 --> 01:47:55.000 went to the Dolphins and meant that Kyle pissed to 2232 01:47:55.039 --> 01:47:58.039 not get traded, uh to the Dolphins. And you know, 2233 01:47:58.319 --> 01:48:00.640 we're training camp rapidly approaching one. See what these two 2234 01:48:00.680 --> 01:48:03.640 first round first round defense being pass rush is gonna 2235 01:48:03.680 --> 01:48:06.359 look like coming in coming, in coming into training camp. 2236 01:48:06.359 --> 01:48:08.319 But yeah, all think it's good up in the ATM man, 2237 01:48:08.479 --> 01:48:11.960 just dealing with the heat, dealing with the traffic, dealing 2238 01:48:11.960 --> 01:48:14.479 with the nine drivers. But I will I will take it. 2239 01:48:14.560 --> 01:48:15.079 I will take it. 2240 01:48:15.279 --> 01:48:17.399 I will take Yeah. 2241 01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:20.239 You know, my my phillies are at the top of 2242 01:48:20.239 --> 01:48:22.680 the NL East right now, so I don't got any 2243 01:48:22.680 --> 01:48:23.359 get points there. 2244 01:48:23.399 --> 01:48:23.920 Obviously. 2245 01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:28.119 I do feel that if they make me and me 2246 01:48:28.199 --> 01:48:30.399 and Pat Pat Combs were talking about it as earlier 2247 01:48:30.399 --> 01:48:34.039 this week. If they make it through July, they're either 2248 01:48:34.119 --> 01:48:37.039 still at the top of the of the NL East 2249 01:48:37.279 --> 01:48:39.680 and or within a few games, I think it's theirs 2250 01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:43.039 for the taking. Uh me and you both talk about this. 2251 01:48:43.079 --> 01:48:45.159 We we already know what's gonna happen down to Strep. 2252 01:48:45.199 --> 01:48:50.119 The Met's gonna met right now. Obviously last year the 2253 01:48:50.119 --> 01:48:52.239 Phillies fell to the Mets in the playoffs and batsman 2254 01:48:52.319 --> 01:48:55.680 cool things of that nature. I do think, uh, we 2255 01:48:55.800 --> 01:48:59.399 have the best pitching staff, starting pitching staff in baseball. 2256 01:48:59.439 --> 01:49:03.479 I think if they're able to to to add you know, 2257 01:49:03.640 --> 01:49:06.159 you know, a bat in the outfield, whether it be 2258 01:49:06.239 --> 01:49:09.319 you know, you know, center, left, right, whatever, I would 2259 01:49:09.319 --> 01:49:09.720 not like. 2260 01:49:09.960 --> 01:49:14.359 I would not like to see Nick Castiano's move. 2261 01:49:14.399 --> 01:49:17.079 I think that you know, you know, maybe doesn't have 2262 01:49:17.119 --> 01:49:19.520 the greatest bat, maybe not the fastest guy or the 2263 01:49:19.560 --> 01:49:22.399 best glove, but I think what he ASTs the clubhouse 2264 01:49:22.520 --> 01:49:23.359 Otherwise I. 2265 01:49:23.279 --> 01:49:26.479 Wouldn't want to see him move center field is the 2266 01:49:26.479 --> 01:49:27.000 way to go. 2267 01:49:28.640 --> 01:49:30.680 I think there's guys available for the Phillies to be 2268 01:49:30.680 --> 01:49:32.760 able to do that when the when the trade deadline hits, 2269 01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:35.159 us in a within the few weeks. 2270 01:49:35.960 --> 01:49:37.640 I think they will be busy. I think they will. 2271 01:49:38.199 --> 01:49:41.199 You wouldn't be surprised to see somebody like a Sir 2272 01:49:41.239 --> 01:49:46.159 Anthony Dominguez brought back via trade, as long as they 2273 01:49:46.159 --> 01:49:49.079 don't trade away any of their big prospects. I don't 2274 01:49:49.119 --> 01:49:52.520 want to see. I don't want to see Painter traded. 2275 01:49:52.640 --> 01:49:55.479 I don't want to see Aiden Miller traded. I don't 2276 01:49:55.520 --> 01:50:01.000 want to see mcabel traded. I do think, I do 2277 01:50:01.079 --> 01:50:05.239 think there is an outfielder prospect, and I think Rangers 2278 01:50:05.279 --> 01:50:10.039 Suarez would or take Taywan Walker would probably be one 2279 01:50:10.039 --> 01:50:12.640 of the odd men outs via via trade. 2280 01:50:13.039 --> 01:50:15.880 But that's just my general thoughts on it. 2281 01:50:15.960 --> 01:50:19.319 I do feel the Phillies it's it's a make or 2282 01:50:19.359 --> 01:50:22.399 break here. I already said it here on this network. 2283 01:50:22.439 --> 01:50:25.840 Man Rob Thomas needs a needs the world title already's done. 2284 01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:28.800 You know, it's it's a make or break here for him. 2285 01:50:29.880 --> 01:50:32.319 There's a lot of stuff going on. Obviously we'd already 2286 01:50:32.359 --> 01:50:36.279 talked about it. The Philadelphia is gonna be one of 2287 01:50:36.319 --> 01:50:38.520 the expansion teams that gets a w n B. 2288 01:50:38.600 --> 01:50:40.640 A team that that's another another big thing. 2289 01:50:43.119 --> 01:50:48.239 No no news from the Eagles, which isn't surprising, flying 2290 01:50:48.319 --> 01:50:49.039 under the radar. 2291 01:50:49.760 --> 01:50:52.359 Uh, they're gonna. I think they're gonna do their thing 2292 01:50:52.439 --> 01:50:52.800 this year. 2293 01:50:52.840 --> 01:50:56.960 We'll we'll see, you know, injury, super Bowl, hangover whatever. 2294 01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:59.359 I don't I don't think that that word is going 2295 01:50:59.399 --> 01:51:02.439 to be in there cabulary, just because of how the 2296 01:51:02.960 --> 01:51:05.600 culture of that team is. We we we've beaten that 2297 01:51:05.720 --> 01:51:09.960 drum so so much over the past few months, and 2298 01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:11.960 it's gonna ring true. I mean, I don't know if 2299 01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:16.399 anyone's seen uh uh, some of the media eclips that 2300 01:51:16.439 --> 01:51:19.479 came out the you know, the comments that came out 2301 01:51:19.520 --> 01:51:22.840 of Nick Sirianni's mouth about, you know, being a Super 2302 01:51:22.840 --> 01:51:23.520 Bowl champion. 2303 01:51:23.680 --> 01:51:26.000 It was basically like it's like a it's. 2304 01:51:25.880 --> 01:51:29.479 Like a perfume, you know, you know, sniff it, don't 2305 01:51:29.560 --> 01:51:34.479 drink it. It's poisonous, you know. Keep that keep that 2306 01:51:34.479 --> 01:51:39.359 that sharp mindset. So it's they have what they need. 2307 01:51:39.439 --> 01:51:44.199 It's up to them, you know, to execute, to continue 2308 01:51:44.199 --> 01:51:48.439 to improve and and stay stay stay a team, Stay 2309 01:51:48.520 --> 01:51:50.159 stay the team that that you were at the end 2310 01:51:50.199 --> 01:51:52.560 of the last season, and I think that that will 2311 01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:53.560 continue to roll over. 2312 01:51:53.600 --> 01:51:56.279 Obviously, it's gonna be much much harder schedule. 2313 01:51:56.680 --> 01:51:59.119 They gotta they got a nasty schedule manly that there's 2314 01:51:59.159 --> 01:52:01.920 you know, not not a single back to back home game, 2315 01:52:02.039 --> 01:52:06.199 so that there's things they have to overcome. But you know, 2316 01:52:06.760 --> 01:52:08.920 you want to be tested like that. If you're the 2317 01:52:08.960 --> 01:52:11.000 world champion, you don't you don't want the easy road. 2318 01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:13.039 You don't you don't want the roade less travel. You 2319 01:52:13.039 --> 01:52:14.319 you you. 2320 01:52:14.600 --> 01:52:16.479 You want to be you want to have have those 2321 01:52:16.520 --> 01:52:17.439 obstacles in front of you. 2322 01:52:17.479 --> 01:52:19.960 And I think that that they're going to be ready 2323 01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:22.600 for that when this season comes. We'll see if I'm wrong, 2324 01:52:22.600 --> 01:52:25.359 if I'm right. Obviously they still have to play the games. 2325 01:52:25.560 --> 01:52:27.840 You still have to get through it injury free, regardless, 2326 01:52:27.840 --> 01:52:31.600 if we're talking training camp, preseason, regular season, postseason, whatever. 2327 01:52:32.640 --> 01:52:34.279 I think it's a it's a fun time to be 2328 01:52:34.319 --> 01:52:36.000 a Philadelphia fan regardless. 2329 01:52:36.199 --> 01:52:36.399 Uh. 2330 01:52:36.439 --> 01:52:38.640 You know, obviously, you know a lot of a lot 2331 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:40.960 of things are changing with the hockey team too. You know, 2332 01:52:41.119 --> 01:52:43.720 you got Rick Takin being brown back and as a 2333 01:52:43.720 --> 01:52:45.800 as a head coach. They just they just you know, 2334 01:52:46.199 --> 01:52:48.680 had another good draft. The only real question is is 2335 01:52:49.199 --> 01:52:55.239 goaltender now? The taboo subject is is you know former 2336 01:52:55.319 --> 01:52:59.520 goalie technically still under contract with the Flyers as Corey 2337 01:52:59.560 --> 01:53:03.159 hard Is was uh was was a part of that 2338 01:53:03.159 --> 01:53:06.640 that uh sexual abuse scandal from when he was in 2339 01:53:06.720 --> 01:53:11.039 college that it was just you know, all charges were dismissed. 2340 01:53:12.000 --> 01:53:14.640 He's free and clear now. So I don't know if 2341 01:53:14.640 --> 01:53:17.119 that's a road the Flyers want to go down. 2342 01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:20.159 Daniel Brier wants to wants to kick tires on that 2343 01:53:20.239 --> 01:53:22.560 and see what's happened. I know they just signed a 2344 01:53:22.600 --> 01:53:25.960 free agent goaltender. Goaltenders that you know, the goal. The 2345 01:53:26.000 --> 01:53:28.760 goal is the backbone of your team, just like you 2346 01:53:28.800 --> 01:53:32.279 know the center center is in football, just like the 2347 01:53:32.319 --> 01:53:35.840 defensive defensive tackle is on your defense. 2348 01:53:36.479 --> 01:53:39.560 So we'll see how how everything shakes out. 2349 01:53:39.720 --> 01:53:41.479 I think at some point in time in the next 2350 01:53:41.479 --> 01:53:44.079 few years Flyers are going to be a good playoff team. 2351 01:53:44.159 --> 01:53:45.840 We'll see how it all plays out. 2352 01:53:45.880 --> 01:53:49.600 But that's all on what's going on in my town 2353 01:53:50.319 --> 01:53:53.479 and uh, you know, uh, you know, fun stuff that 2354 01:53:53.520 --> 01:53:56.000 we're going over.
