17
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,600
I'm recording it Saturday evening.

18
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,680
Welcome into the Justin Time Sports Podcast season for episode 22.

19
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,360
We've got a small bit of rebranding with our last segment, if you heard in the intro.

20
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,840
Instead of we are going to officially retire, best for last, and we will have Jack's Hot

21
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,840
Take.

22
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,280
And we'll talk about that more whenever we get to Jack's Hot Take in general.

23
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:07,120
But before we get into the show, again, I want to thank you guys for the appreciation

24
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,120
and love.

25
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,240
We're getting a lot of social media interactions, some brand new followers over this past week.

26
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,320
Shout out to you guys who are just joining.

27
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:22,880
Hope you guys are streaming to the podcast, going into the pod, sharing it with your friends.

28
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,040
As our numbers for our downloads and stuff is starting to go up, we're starting to creep

29
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:27,040
up.

30
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,040
We're starting to pop more in Germany.

31
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,040
Shout out to you guys.

32
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,280
I'll say hello to y'all.

33
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,120
We're popping more a little bit in more in Europe, more Western Europe.

34
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,920
So shout out to y'all as well.

35
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,960
And of course, my fans in Asia, hello to you guys as well.

36
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,720
But we're going to jump into the show now.

37
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,040
We're going to get started in the NFL.

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,240
Of course, it is the preseason.

39
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,240
We're in full swing.

40
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,600
This is the first real week of preseason football.

41
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,400
Of course, last week was the Hall of Fame game is basically like I called it week zero

42
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,400
in college football.

43
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,480
Like it doesn't really matter.

44
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,880
This is officially week one of the NFL preseason.

45
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,900
So if you're the Packers on the Browns, you have the old school four preseason games because

46
00:03:07,900 --> 00:03:10,720
you played in the Hall of Fame game.

47
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,040
If you are everyone else in the league, the other 30 teams, you get the new modern era

48
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,920
of three weeks, three games.

49
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:20,720
And you get that last week as a bye week.

50
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,240
It's an off week for the entire league with teams have to cut down to 53, et cetera.

51
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:31,480
It's really the more tenuous week and then the NFL preseason.

52
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Because if you're a guy, you pretty much look around and say, okay, there's 12 receivers

53
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,560
in the room.

54
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:37,560
I go with third team.

55
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,280
I'm probably not going to make the roster.

56
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,280
All right.

57
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400
But if you're a guy that's okay, I go with second team all the time to team, they're

58
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,760
going to carry six defense or eight defensive backs.

59
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,040
I'm usually in that second rotation consistently.

60
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,080
You're nervous that last week because that roster goes from 60, that roster goes about

61
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,840
70 to 53 and then they call you and they call you back for the practice squad, which is

62
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,280
where the practice squad is now.

63
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,960
So there's 65 total roster spots.

64
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,960
That's pretty nervous week.

65
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,960
But we are officially in NFL preseason football where the rest of the league, like I said,

66
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,640
if you aren't the Packers or the Browns, finally gets to see their team in their jerseys.

67
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Yeah, practice footage is great.

68
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,000
I think during practice footage is the best in preseason purely because it's one V ones.

69
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,600
It's twos V twos.

70
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,280
It's guys mixed in everywhere and they're competing.

71
00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,640
That's the only time Aaron Donald's going to see the field all preseason is in joint

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:28,640
practice.

73
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,720
That's the only time Joe Burrow will do the injury.

74
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,120
Josh Allen, I guess.

75
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Aaron Rodgers.

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,440
Russell Wilson, I believe, played a little bit in the Broncos game.

77
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:39,440
Yeah, he did actually.

78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,440
He took a beating.

79
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,440
We'll talk about that a little later.

80
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:42,440
Yeah, man, that's your rookie quarterback.

81
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Like they start, Derrick Henry is not going to play in the preseason, but he's going to

82
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:48,440
play in joint practice.

83
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:49,720
You know what I'm saying?

84
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:54,320
So during practice footage this time of year is the best footage.

85
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,240
It's the best time to go if you want to cover a sport.

86
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,120
If you're a fan of a team, you want to see your guys early, you want to go to joint practices

87
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,720
because that's the best opportunity for you to see your stars.

88
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,320
It's what I said to one V ones ones versus ones back up versus back up.

89
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,720
This third stringers this point of the year still trying to make the roster.

90
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,280
They have an opportunity to play.

91
00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:14,280
They mix in with some twos.

92
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:15,280
They make sense of threes.

93
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:19,920
You know, it's an opportunity for guys to be seen all over the field.

94
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,400
But there was action today as a couple of more games tomorrow.

95
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,080
We're going to jump into what everyone cares about in the preseason, which is usually the

96
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,480
rookie quarterbacks or quarterback on a new team.

97
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,040
But usually the rookie quarterbacks, Bryce Young, the number one overall pick, CJ Straub,

98
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:43,360
the number two overall pick and Anthony Richardson, the number four overall pick were all in action

99
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,360
over the past 24 hours or so.

100
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,920
CJ Straub going Thursday night, I believe.

101
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,320
So that's 48 hours or so.

102
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,960
Guess we start off with the number one pick, Bryce Young for the Panthers had an up and

103
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,960
down debut.

104
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,160
Kind of wasn't his fault.

105
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,680
And he had some moments where he looked great.

106
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,120
He had some moments where he looked like a rookie in his first NFL action on the field.

107
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,160
Office flying struggle, which won't be a surprise.

108
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:14,080
The Panthers tried to sell us a story that, oh, the old line is going to be fine.

109
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:15,080
No, you're not.

110
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,200
You were a bad football team last year.

111
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,040
Ask Baker Mayfield, ask Sam Donnell, ask PJ Walker.

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:21,040
Hell, ask K.M.

113
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,040
Newton.

114
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,560
That offensive line is not good.

115
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,160
And they're going to struggle at all times this year.

116
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,360
Pretty much if you want a good game of sacks and a good game of quarterback pressures,

117
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,320
you got to hope the Carolina Panthers are on your schedule because they're going to

118
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,880
cause Bryce Young to have some difficulties.

119
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,840
Right there this season.

120
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:43,920
So up again, up and down kind of game.

121
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,760
You guys know how I feel about Bryce Young if you've been listening to the show.

122
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:56,000
If you haven't, I don't believe in him because you ask a guy to be one of one part two.

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,240
It's already hard to ask somebody to be one of one.

124
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Asking them to do asking them to be the part two version of the one of one is even harder.

125
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,680
And Drew Brees is his comp.

126
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Drew Brees is a one of one.

127
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,600
As far as Drew Brees himself failed in San Diego, which is how Phillip Rubis got on the

128
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:14,600
team.

129
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,600
That's how he ended up in New Orleans.

130
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,720
And then no one in the league touched him.

131
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,000
Sean Payton took a chance on him because Sean needed a guy he believed in his tape enough

132
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,400
in San Diego to bring him to New Orleans.

133
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Probably as a bridge guy.

134
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,040
Now, OK, Drew comes in, we go three and that time three and 13, four and 12.

135
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,040
You may trace him.

136
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,600
I said, get a top pick and get our guy.

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,560
You know, but he comes in and he's off to the races the first year they show up during

138
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:44,520
the NH title game in Chicago with a chance to play Peyton Manning in the Super Bowl a

139
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,120
few years earlier than when it actually did play Peyton Manning on the Super Bowl.

140
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520
And so that was kind of what happened with Drew Brees.

141
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,360
And of course, it's all these records.

142
00:07:53,360 --> 00:08:00,520
He's Brady out literally just outlasts him and has the career records.

143
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,520
You know, Brees saw these accuracy records, all these rating records.

144
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:09,640
He is the New Orleans Saints records book as far as passing.

145
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:11,760
But you Brees, the thing was that he was small.

146
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:18,080
I'll never forget Drew Brees head craned up as he looks through like the bars of his face

147
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,320
mask seal over his offensive lineman.

148
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,680
He was small, did not have the biggest arm, wasn't fitting a ball in some of these tight

149
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,040
windows we've seen like the famous big throw.

150
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,160
He fits it between three bears.

151
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Some of the stuff my home's put the ball through.

152
00:08:35,560 --> 00:08:40,200
Even guys like Justin Herbert and Josh Allen fits balls and gaps.

153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Drew Brees can't get that ball in.

154
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,880
It's just the Lawrence perspective was not very athletic, although he did dunk a goal

155
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:47,880
post in Miami.

156
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:55,600
Sometimes just straight line speed, you know, but he was insanely accurate.

157
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,840
He's the most accurate pass of the football that has ever played in the NFL.

158
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,640
And I don't think it's close.

159
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:06,760
And then of course, his preparation, his routine of the workout videos are famous of even when

160
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,080
it's a one V one or even when it's a one on one route, he calls the play and then tells

161
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,400
the receiver the route.

162
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,000
And after he throws the ball, he's working through where the other routes would be.

163
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,680
Even if it's on air, he throws a pregame warmup, he throws the pass and then he's shuffling

164
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:23,960
his feet to the other routes.

165
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,320
His pregame warmup and stretches and speeches have been legendary.

166
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,120
But now you're asking Bryce Young to do that.

167
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,120
All right.

168
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,760
That's hard because it was a perfect storm in New Orleans.

169
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,520
You were indoors for one, you were in the NFC South for two.

170
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:45,960
So at minimum nine of your games, nine of your 16 games at that point were indoors.

171
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,360
You had a very, very offensive head coach, A'Shaun Payton, who wanted to throw the ball

172
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,360
down the field.

173
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,000
You had a ton of weapons.

174
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,640
You had a great offensive line.

175
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,440
You got a hell of a defense for the first few years.

176
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,080
He just throws it off at the end, but then it's a gun show by the time that you get to

177
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,840
that point because the weapon is built up on offense.

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,760
You have a weaker quarterback division.

179
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:12,120
People talk about what the advantage that Brady had in the NFC East was just teams in

180
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:13,120
general.

181
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:22,640
Who was the best quarterback from 09 to 2020 besides Drew Brees in the NFC South?

182
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:23,640
Cam Newton.

183
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:28,520
At that point, during that time, Cam Newton wins in the MVP, gets into a suit ball, ultimately

184
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,240
loses to the Broncos, but it's Cam Newton.

185
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,720
Nobody else is stable at quarterback.

186
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,040
James Winston is probably the best Buccaneers quarterback.

187
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,840
The best Falcons quarterback is Matt Ryan.

188
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:45,760
He gets to a suit ball during that time period as well, loses to Tom Brady.

189
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,960
But that was a one-off year to me with Kosh Anahan, and he ended up being the MVP of

190
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,960
the league.

191
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,240
Other than that, Cam Jordan, who plays for the Saints, has the NFL record for the most

192
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,560
time sacking one player.

193
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:01,560
It's Matt Ryan for the Falcons.

194
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,480
That's one of those situations where Brees had a weaker quarterback division.

195
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,760
Like I said, Matt Ryan at one point wins the MVP, and at one point he was benched.

196
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:12,000
Cam Newton at one point wins the MVP, and then he was released.

197
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,840
So it's kind of like you had a peak of a quarterback here and now, but then they were pretty average

198
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,240
to below average for the rest of their careers.

199
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:27,800
And he had the advantage of a situation that the coach needed him to be successful.

200
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,760
Once Drew Brees became a success, him and Sean Payton were linked at the hip.

201
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,600
They spoke a lot, they talked a lot, their minds worked a lot.

202
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,160
It was a perfect storm.

203
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,280
I don't see that with Bryce Young and Frank Wright.

204
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:38,280
I just don't.

205
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,320
And so I've always doubted Bryce Young, and I noticed the conversation kind of went off

206
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,720
the rails a little bit.

207
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,880
But I always kind of doubted Bryce Young because I said you're asking him to be one-of-one

208
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,480
historically, part two, and that's a hard thing to ask of anybody.

209
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,120
But again, up and down day for him.

210
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,400
Number two overall pick, CJ Stroud.

211
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Flipped it back a few days ago.

212
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:03,280
Through a bad pick in his game, other than that, he looked pretty poised.

213
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,200
What I saw at Ohio State, I saw a little bit of it at Houston.

214
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,040
Now I'll talk about that a couple points later.

215
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,720
I saw a little bit of that in Houston.

216
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,300
I saw the arm talent.

217
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:14,440
I saw the accuracy.

218
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,040
I saw the mobility and the athleticism.

219
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,120
I didn't say it, but I saw a bad pick.

220
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,840
Now it was the veteran got him.

221
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:21,840
Jalen Mills got him.

222
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,520
He's playing for his job right now.

223
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:31,480
But that was a pretty rough pick as far as he had really no business throwing that ball

224
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,480
at all.

225
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,800
And he got intercepted even against a base Bill Belichick defense though.

226
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:37,800
Maybe he saw something.

227
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,920
Maybe Jalen Mills read something.

228
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,920
I'm not sure.

229
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:46,480
But it was a pretty bad interception on him.

230
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,120
Probably the worst interception I've seen of the rookies, just because Anthony Richardson

231
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,400
also threw one, which I'll talk about in a second.

232
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,400
But it was more of a miscommunication pick.

233
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,720
I think CJ Stroud just didn't see Jalen Mills breaking on the ball.

234
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,240
And even if he didn't break on it, I think the person behind Jalen Mills picks it.

235
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,520
It was one of those throws where he shouldn't let the ball go.

236
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:11,600
Kind of how I talked about last week with Kellen Maughan against the Jets in the Hall

237
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,000
of Fame game throwing it right to the linebacker.

238
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
It wasn't as bad.

239
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,720
The guy Jalen Mills had to make a hell of a play on it.

240
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,000
But it's still a ball he probably shouldn't have let go.

241
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,200
Probably a ball he gets to at Ohio State, but it just doesn't make it through in the

242
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,200
NFL.

243
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:29,120
And then Ayrton Richardson, kind of similar to Bryce Jensen.

244
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,280
He kind of had the game in between the game.

245
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,720
He didn't have the high of CJ Stroud, but he didn't really have the roughness of Bryce

246
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Young.

247
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,440
He showed his athleticism for sure.

248
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,040
Threw a bad pick himself.

249
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,760
Wasn't as bad as CJ Stroud's pick.

250
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,320
His pick was more of a miscommunication.

251
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:52,280
But he hit the defender in the chest with it, so it did not look great at all.

252
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,720
But it was the defender behind the intended target.

253
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,440
So maybe if the routes run correctly, the intended target catches it.

254
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,960
And we're not probably not even mentioning this right now.

255
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,120
But he himself did throw an interception as well.

256
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,120
But I've seen good flashes from him.

257
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,440
I believe Ayrton Richardson is a boomer bus prospect.

258
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,440
I said it before the draft.

259
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,760
Well, I said bus before the draft.

260
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:16,000
But as far as in the league, he's a boomer bus guy to me.

261
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,080
He's either packed in my homes with more athleticism, as far as that ceiling.

262
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,520
Or he's either the Cam Newton, but accurate.

263
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:29,200
Or he's Cam Newton in 2022, where it's like, okay.

264
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:34,360
You know, it's just the athleticism's there, but we don't see anything else.

265
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:40,400
And so that is something we're gonna have to watch out for Anthony Richardson.

266
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,960
And just some quick hitters as far as the preseason in general.

267
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,840
Justin Fields had a very stat blowing day, but an overrated day.

268
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,680
At one point, he was 3 for 3 for a 129 and two touchdowns.

269
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,320
The problem was a 122 touchdown, something like that.

270
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,320
129 maybe.

271
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,400
The problem was a 62 yard touchdown and a 56 yard touchdown came on screens.

272
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,040
A wide receiver screen and DJ Moore first touched the Bears 62 yard touchdown.

273
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,800
So the Bears, I'm sure, are excited about that.

274
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:17,320
The Panthers fans probably groaned not having DJ Moore on their team for their young guy

275
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,280
and Bryce Young.

276
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,080
And then the second one was a broken, kind of a broken play.

277
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:23,520
It looked like a screen to me.

278
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,620
People calling it a check down.

279
00:15:24,620 --> 00:15:27,760
It felt like a delayed screen to me because of how many old linemen was in front of the

280
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,360
running back.

281
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,960
But flips to the running back, the ball travels about two yards in the air.

282
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,060
58 yards later, he's in the end zone.

283
00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:38,640
And Justin Fields first two passes are for 120 and two touchdowns.

284
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,440
But I think he had a very overrated statistical day.

285
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,240
And then turnovers on both sides happen.

286
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:46,360
He gets pulled out of the game.

287
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,100
His numbers look mind blowing.

288
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:51,440
But if you watch the tape, it was a very overrated day.

289
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,560
Offense looked a lot more conservative.

290
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,000
I've noticed that with several offenses.

291
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,040
But those deep rocks in the NFL are schemed open.

292
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:04,280
So I'm thinking that they don't just want to show too many deep schemes on film.

293
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,320
Damar Hamlin returned to the field.

294
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:11,360
First time he was in tackle football in a game since, of course, his cardiac incident

295
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,360
against the Bills, against the Bengals, sorry.

296
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,400
His cardiac incident, his first time in full uniform on the field in a game.

297
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,800
Now he's been in preseason practice, made a couple of interceptions.

298
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,520
But this is the first time he'd been on the field.

299
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,440
He talked about his emotions after the game.

300
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,920
And so it was good to see him just as a human perspective back on the field doing what he

301
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,920
loves.

302
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,600
Again, hearing about it in practice and physically having to come out of that tunnel into the

303
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,880
crowd is going to be something that is huge for him.

304
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,320
He's gonna do it again, obviously, week one.

305
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:50,080
And if they had to play at Cincinnati in a playoff game or something, I wonder what those

306
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,040
nerves are gonna be like for him.

307
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,960
It's coming out on the field that where the incident happened.

308
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,080
Just touch on some other news.

309
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,120
Zach Wilson looks like a better football player.

310
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,600
I think the influence and energy is helping.

311
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Despite my slander of Nathaniel Hackett and Sean Payton's slander of Nathaniel Hackett's

312
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:13,460
effort last season, I think he's a better offensive coordinator than he is head coach.

313
00:17:13,460 --> 00:17:17,320
And so I think his influence on Zach Wilson as well, trying to get some of those bad habits

314
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:23,640
out of him, trying to get some of those just bad mechanics and bad ideas out of him.

315
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,840
I think he looked a lot better, looked a lot sharper in his preseason than he did last

316
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,840
preseason.

317
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,240
Nothing traveled over 10 yards in the air.

318
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,840
But to me, that showed improvement because he didn't try to force anything.

319
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:41,840
The first preseason game, he got a nice bone with the sideline.

320
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:43,800
And if you look at him, he led some scoring drives.

321
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,760
And it just looked a little more poised.

322
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,400
Like I said, took his check downs where he could take them.

323
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,480
Looks like a better football player.

324
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,280
Definitely has some Aaron Rodgers teachings in him.

325
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,120
He's trying to roll like him a little bit and definitely has some Aaron Rodgers teachings

326
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:57,120
in him.

327
00:17:57,120 --> 00:17:59,920
You can see that in Hard Knocks as well.

328
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:07,080
Malik Willis, the Titans quarterback pick last season, who pretty much we thought was

329
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:11,080
gonna be on the outs after the team drafted Will Levis.

330
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,160
We pretty much thought they were gonna be on the outs with Malik Willis.

331
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,000
But through camp, reportedly, he's outplayed Will Levis.

332
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,120
Through this preseason game, he's outplayed Will Levis.

333
00:18:24,120 --> 00:18:26,100
His stock is definitely going up.

334
00:18:26,100 --> 00:18:31,480
If the Titans do decide to release him or move on from him, I expect him to have multiple

335
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,480
suitors.

336
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,480
He looks like he can play in this league.

337
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,800
His talent, arm talent, raw arm talent, suggests that from Jump Street.

338
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:43,440
But now it's looking like the mental side is catching up and he's able to process information

339
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,520
a little bit faster and to make moves and to be an efficient quarterback at the NFL

340
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:49,520
level.

341
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,520
So like I said, if he is released by the Tennessee Titans, I expect him to have multiple suitors

342
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,520
fairly quickly.

343
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,120
I can see New Orleans getting them as a back.

344
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:03,760
Well, they have Jameis already, maybe not New Orleans.

345
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,760
I don't know what's going on in Atlanta.

346
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Oh, they got Des Marritter.

347
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,040
I don't know what's going on in Tampa.

348
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,800
That seems like a disaster.

349
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:14,960
Vegas could use a young backup in case Jimmy G gets injured.

350
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,120
The Rams, I mean, they dropped this, that's in Bennett, but athletically Malik Willis

351
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:20,960
is a better player.

352
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,800
I don't see Geno Smith being the long term answer in Seattle.

353
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,560
Maybe Seattle gets involved in that race, although they do have Drew Locke.

354
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Minnesota currently to me has no backup plan for Kirk Cousins.

355
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,360
So there's multiple places I believe Malik Willis could land if and when he is released

356
00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,560
by the Tennessee Titans.

357
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:45,000
The future of the Green Bay Packers, Jordan Love looked good in his debut.

358
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
I was going to say great.

359
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:50,240
I'm going to pull it back, quantify what it is the preseason, but he did have a couple

360
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:56,520
of great moments there leading his new Green Bay Packers organization, hoping to be the

361
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,040
third in the Hall of Fame lineage as far as back to back to back.

362
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Of course it was Brad Favre, then Aaron Rodgers, and now Jordan Love is up.

363
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:09,760
And of course they have Bart Starr in there, pretty distant history.

364
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,880
And so he's looking to be the fourth Hall of Fame quarterback to play for the franchise.

365
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,280
And of course the third in the row, which would be unprecedented.

366
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,640
I mean, it's unprecedented to go back to back.

367
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,360
I think the only team to ever do that is Joe Montana and Steve Young.

368
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:29,720
And now the Packers went back to back with Brad Favre and Aaron Rodgers.

369
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:34,160
The only difference between Steve Young, the 49ers version, the Packers version, the 49ers

370
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:38,240
version, I believe has six Super Bowl titles out of it, or five, because Joe Montana won

371
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,720
four and Steve Young got one.

372
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,800
So they won four, they said they won five, and then the Packers have won two.

373
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:52,080
So that's the only difference in that is the high level winning in regards to the consistent

374
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Hall of Fame quarterback play.

375
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,920
But Jordan Love is looking to be the third one in the row.

376
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,840
He's off to a good start this preseason.

377
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,480
Multiple players have stepped up to defend him when people say he couldn't play, saying

378
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,280
that you haven't even watched him play.

379
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Give him a few games to prove that he can do it.

380
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,600
D'Shaun Watson looks solid in his Browns debut.

381
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,720
I wasn't expecting a fireworks show, but when a star quarterback gets in, he's supposed

382
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,720
to command the offense.

383
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,520
He's supposed to not look flustered.

384
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,720
He's supposed to make a couple of throws that make you go, hmm, and have a couple of reeds

385
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,840
that make you nod your head in approval.

386
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,600
And that's exactly what D'Shaun Watson did.

387
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,560
He did what I would expect a franchise quarterback to do in the preseason.

388
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,920
Kept himself out of trouble, had some good scrambles there.

389
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,720
So good work by D'Shaun Watson.

390
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,780
Then the most interesting to me quarterback battle in the NFL is Baker Mayfield versus

391
00:21:45,780 --> 00:21:47,400
Kyle Trask.

392
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,320
Why is the number one overall picking a quarterback battle with Kyle Trask?

393
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,560
I still do not know.

394
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000
But Baker got the start in game one.

395
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:56,720
He got the advantage in game one.

396
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,000
Now Kyle Trask is already scheduled to start in game two.

397
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,260
So it'd be very interesting to see how Kyle Trask looks with more of the ones as opposed

398
00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:05,120
to the number twos.

399
00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:09,640
But their practice video has not been the most encouraging if you're a Buccaneers fan

400
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:14,180
because they've missed very, very easy throws in just in drill work and practice work.

401
00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:19,620
So if I am the Buccaneers, I am a little bit nervous about being forced to trot out either

402
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:23,240
Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask for week one.

403
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:28,240
Especially because Baker Mayfield, if he hits, he's going to want to get a big contract

404
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,240
from you.

405
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:30,880
You may end up losing more weaponry.

406
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720
Who knows how your salary cap can even take that.

407
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,560
And if you end up with Kyle Trask, now you've got a really, really cheap quarterback option

408
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,800
for the next couple of years before you even end up having to extend Kyle Trask.

409
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,680
But to me, Baker Mayfield shouldn't even be in this debate.

410
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:52,160
He's in a very, I do mean very dangerous spot from being like kind of like a more sober

411
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,280
Johnny Menzel story.

412
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,280
And so we're going to keep our eye on that situation.

413
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,280
I think Baker ultimately wins the job.

414
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,640
I don't know if he keeps it all year.

415
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,300
I think some of the organization really love Kyle Trask and want to see him get a shot.

416
00:23:06,300 --> 00:23:12,220
But of course, when Baker Mayfield is there, it's hard to overshine that, which is pretty

417
00:23:12,220 --> 00:23:18,400
much impossible if you are not a Baker Mayfield to overshine Baker Mayfield.

418
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,600
So that is what's going on in Tampa.

419
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,920
But one note on the preseason I want to talk about before we move on out of this block

420
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:34,200
is that a lot of times fans and I talk to different fans all the time, they always want

421
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,200
to see their team dominate.

422
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,200
I want to see my team dominate.

423
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,320
Oh, show me this new scheme everyone's talking about.

424
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800
First of all, most people on the field are not starters.

425
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,880
Start off with that.

426
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,120
Second of all, if you want scheme, look at enjoying practices.

427
00:23:47,120 --> 00:23:49,840
That's the best scheme you're going to get.

428
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,520
Third of all, offensive line play in the preseason is horrible.

429
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,520
They don't have a lot of padded practices.

430
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,680
You got starters mixed in with backup guys.

431
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,040
You have no slide protection.

432
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,240
You have barely any protection changes because you're trying to keep all this stuff off film.

433
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,040
You have blitz shows coming from random locations because DC is just throwing random things

434
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,680
at people because they want to see how they react and respond to different scenarios.

435
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,320
It is a madhouse for an offensive line.

436
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,320
You got a quarterback there that you're not normally dealing with.

437
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,120
You got people next to you on the O-line.

438
00:24:22,120 --> 00:24:28,000
You're not used to having to work with, team up with, things of that nature.

439
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,960
The play calling is sporadic.

440
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:34,240
It's more of conceptual execution and situational execution.

441
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,040
The play calling is sporadic.

442
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:41,120
The O-line play is usually awful because they're not in pads enough for one.

443
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:46,200
And number two, they don't usually work with the person next to them.

444
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,400
If they work with the person next to them, they're under strict instructions not to

445
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,920
show a whole bunch on film.

446
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,080
So they're not necessarily doing their proper technique or they're doing their proper checks

447
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,960
in the event of they feel, see, and or hear the rush.

448
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,200
So teams that struggle with offensive line, it's normal.

449
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,400
It's very stereotypical actually.

450
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,520
Everyone in the preseason just struggles with the O-line.

451
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,960
However, if you're struggling with your D-line, you should be nervous.

452
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,920
Defensive back struggles, usually you can blow those off too because those guys don't

453
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,120
really get an opportunity to open up and run too much even in joint practices.

454
00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:27,320
So there's different position groups that show the health of a team.

455
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,920
Receiver for sure.

456
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,440
Linebacker for sure.

457
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:36,840
But the rest of the positions, like I said, O-line play usually scares people.

458
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,840
Those guys don't work together.

459
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,480
If you had all first unit guys up there, maybe it looked a little different, but you've got

460
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,880
maybe one first unit guys, three second unit and one third unit guy.

461
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,280
Everything's on one and they don't adjust to anything that the defense is throwing at

462
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,280
them.

463
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,800
So they're at a disadvantage most of the game.

464
00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:14,200
But up next, we're going to shift to the NBA and talk about what's going down there.

465
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:35,680
Welcome back into the show.

466
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:40,880
And now we're going to jump into the NBA in a rather interesting off season.

467
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,680
Of course we've already had the Dame Lillard.

468
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,680
Well, mid Dame Lillard saga, I guess.

469
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,000
And we're working with the James Harden situation, which we will give an update on.

470
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,520
See the update I posted update on about two or three hours before this recording.

471
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,080
What's going on with James Harden?

472
00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,160
And of course, right now, as I'm recording this, the Hall of Fame class of 2023 is being

473
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:02,240
inducted.

474
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,600
Of course, highlighted by Greg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, who's still coaching.

475
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,800
It's one of the weird things about the Hall of Fame.

476
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,080
You don't have to retire from coaching.

477
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,560
I think after you get a certain amount of wins or something, once you meet certain benchmarks,

478
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,920
you're eligible to go into the Hall of Fame, even if you're coaching still.

479
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,720
I know Coach K went in while still coaching.

480
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,080
Bobby Knight, I think, went in while still coaching.

481
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,520
Greg Popovich is in while still coaching.

482
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,160
I think once you hit certain benchmarks, you're eligible to go in.

483
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,760
I think John Calipari is coming up soon.

484
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,760
I'm sure he's going to go in.

485
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,960
He's got a college national title, a bunch of wins.

486
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,880
He's got a lot of NBA players.

487
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,040
He's built three programs.

488
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,800
I'm sure Cal is going to go in while coaching as well.

489
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,120
Tony Bennett is going to be in for Virginia.

490
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:46,800
He's done coaching, et cetera.

491
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:51,080
Anyway, but Greg Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs, who just signed a contract extension

492
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:59,040
actually to continue working with the Spurs and to Coach Victor Wimbenyama, Powell Gasol

493
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,000
of the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers, Tony Parker of the San Antonio Spurs.

494
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,840
I'm not even going to mention the others.

495
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,040
The opposite at the end.

496
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:14,120
Current Los Vegas Aces head coach, Becky Hammond.

497
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:16,440
She's going to go in as a player and a coach.

498
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,520
I was just going to go in as a player for sure.

499
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,800
I don't think she's in as a coach yet, but she's going to go in as a player.

500
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,240
She's currently the Aces head coach.

501
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Then the big two, in my opinion, these guys separate themselves from the rest.

502
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:34,960
There's always one or two guys in every basketball and NFL Hall of Fame class to me that's just

503
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,320
separated.

504
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,400
For the NFL to me was Derell Rivas and Joe Thomas.

505
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,840
Those guys were in a different world to me than the other Hall of Famers.

506
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,160
Rivas has a case, one of the best shutdown corners ever.

507
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,960
Joe Thomas has a case for one of the best left tackles in 30 years.

508
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:57,680
So, as I said, those two guys, it's a wild Joe Thomas story about Peyton wanting him

509
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,960
to do whatever he could to get out of Cleveland to come block for him in Denver.

510
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,880
It means Joe Thomas has got a ring, got a chance to experience winning.

511
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:08,040
Who knows what that would have done for him personally, but he loves Cleveland.

512
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,800
That's what it is.

513
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Back on topic, Dirk and D Wade.

514
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:16,800
Dirk Nowinski, of course, 21 years, 20 years or whatever it was in Dallas, has a statue

515
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:22,280
already outside the building, has one of the greatest shots ever.

516
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,160
People always talk about Kareem has the only unblockable shot.

517
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:27,560
I think Dirk's one foot fade.

518
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,280
Being that he was seven foot tall, but still pull out the one foot fade.

519
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,440
And then I hadn't seen anybody getting blocked yet.

520
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:43,800
And then Dwayne Wade, Wade County is the spearhead behind the big three in Miami because he convinced

521
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:49,720
Bosch to choose Miami over Cleveland, which means Dwayne Wade stays in Miami and LeBron

522
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,840
goes to Miami instead of LeBron trying to get them to come to Cleveland for obvious

523
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:54,840
reasons.

524
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:59,400
If they go and they go to Cleveland, they win three, four titles in Cleveland.

525
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:00,400
You know, that's LeBron city.

526
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,400
He never leaves.

527
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,320
He gets all the credit who, I, who, right.

528
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:09,360
But he, of course, the heatles and all the other stuff that happens in Miami happens

529
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,560
due to D Wade spearheading the situation in Miami.

530
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,600
Ultimately, D Wade ends up in Chicago and Cleveland at some point anyway, but he finishes

531
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,600
off in Miami, in which I'm sure he's going to go in as a Heat.

532
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:25,400
Dirk's going to go in as a math, Parker as a spur, Papa as a spur, Powell I believe is

533
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:31,560
going to go in as a Laker, which means once he's in 16 goals in the rafters, it's standard

534
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:40,360
Laker procedure because, because Jeannie bus can think of her name for a second raise.

535
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:41,360
Holy hell.

536
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:45,360
When she mentioned that LeBron is going to get his number retired and they were debating

537
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:51,520
six or 23 or both going into the rafters for the Lakers because she said standard procedure.

538
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,680
If you're a Hall of Famer and you're a Laker, you're in the rafters.

539
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,060
It's just standard.

540
00:30:58,060 --> 00:31:04,600
So Pogasaw is number 16, number 16 will go into the rafters probably sometime next season

541
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,960
to have Pogasaw night and we still raise 16 into the rafters and no one will be able to

542
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:10,760
wear it in like a little ever again.

543
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,540
Um, without his permission, his family permission, whatever.

544
00:31:14,540 --> 00:31:17,320
And then of course, six or 23 is going to go up.

545
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,320
I don't think both.

546
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,600
I think both will be strictly Kobe thing.

547
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Um, eight and 24 because he played 20 years, 10 as eight or something like that in 10 and

548
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:27,840
24.

549
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,840
And they're both Hall of Fame careers.

550
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,320
The numbers basically match up even.

551
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,080
I mean, they're an all star game off here or a ring off there from being the exact same

552
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,080
career.

553
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:40,400
And of course, Kobe Bryant's tragic passing is going to be, I think there, I know she

554
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,240
mentioned that off the off chance they might do both.

555
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,080
I don't think Lakers fans will let her do both.

556
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,000
Like LeBron, thems going to the rafters.

557
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,000
That's fine.

558
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,000
Whatever.

559
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,200
He got a title for the team.

560
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,080
He's going to be a player with three jersey retirements, whatever.

561
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,080
Fine.

562
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,880
I think six going up in Miami.

563
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,920
I know 23 is going up in Cleveland.

564
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,200
And so either six, 23 is going up for the Lakers.

565
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,200
That's fine.

566
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,880
I just think fans will riot if they try to give LeBron a double jersey retirement considering

567
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,400
that the only person to have it is Kobe.

568
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,340
But anyway, back on topic.

569
00:32:15,340 --> 00:32:20,440
So what I love about this Hall of Fame class is how intertwined it is because this is the

570
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:26,520
first class and okay, past few classes, but this is the first class I can vividly remember

571
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,440
all of your moments.

572
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,560
Like I remember Dirk D Wade battle in 06.

573
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,560
Who was the head coach?

574
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,400
I mean, Dirk D Wade battle in 06.

575
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:41,800
I remember D Wade against the Spurs in those finals.

576
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:47,600
When he was with the Heat when the big three was in town, I remember obviously Pop coaching

577
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:48,600
Tony Parker.

578
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:55,880
I remember Pacasol versus the Spurs when Powell and Kobe was battling Pop, Duncan, Parker,

579
00:32:55,880 --> 00:33:00,640
Janobli, all those Hall of Famers going at it with a Dirk sprinkling in.

580
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,240
I remember Dirk going through everybody to get his title in 2011.

581
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,920
Yeah, he went there right on the list.

582
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,960
Actually, he goes through Tony Parker and Pop.

583
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:09,960
He goes through Powell.

584
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,960
He goes through Wade.

585
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,640
He goes through everybody to get his title in 2011.

586
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,640
Maybe he doesn't beat the Spurs, but whatever.

587
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,800
He goes through everyone in 2011 to get his ring.

588
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,480
Of course, I remember Becky Hammond being an assistant coach for Popovich at one point

589
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:28,400
being deemed as his coach in waiting, but then she jumps on the Las Vegas Aces opportunity

590
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,760
and she's dominating over there in the WNBA.

591
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,360
This class is so connected.

592
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,880
Everyone has a story to pretty much everybody else.

593
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:43,640
Of course, Tony Parker with Pop, the Spurs connects to the same, so I'm not even going

594
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,200
to devurrentiate, but Tony Parker with Pop and Becky, those were his coaches.

595
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:51,600
He battled with Powell for the West, Dirk for the West, D-Way for rings, and I went

596
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,120
through everybody else's situation as well.

597
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,240
There's a pretty amazing Hall of Fame class.

598
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Actually, Popovich is, you can argue, the greatest coach ever.

599
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:02,600
He's got five rings.

600
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:03,600
He's got all these wins.

601
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,440
I think he's the winningest coach ever.

602
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:06,440
He's got five rings.

603
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:07,440
He's in one spot.

604
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,720
It's not like a Phil Jackson where he was broken up where he had eight years with Michael

605
00:34:13,720 --> 00:34:18,640
and then another 10 years with Kobe, basically.

606
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,080
Then he had that weird stint in New York.

607
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:28,920
He was never the coach in New York, but he had a weird stint in there somewhere.

608
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:30,360
Pop's a Spur.

609
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:34,600
Pop came in as a president of operations, fires the head coach, but he names himself

610
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,720
the head coach, has been the head coach ever since.

611
00:34:39,720 --> 00:34:40,720
He rebuilt it.

612
00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:43,560
He had the David Robinson, Tim Duncan era.

613
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,880
Then that David Robinson walks away.

614
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,400
Then he rebuilds it with the foreign guys with Janobli and Boris Deow and Tony Parker.

615
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,640
He gets the defense top, Bruce Bowen.

616
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,040
He pieces all these pieces in while basically being de facto GM.

617
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:02,000
Now, he had a hell of a GM his entire time.

618
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,880
I can't think of the guy's name.

619
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,280
They give him so much credit.

620
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,280
RC Buford.

621
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,080
He's a hell of a GM, especially internationally.

622
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,960
He landed, he found Parker and Janobli.

623
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,840
Those guys never played in America collegially.

624
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:19,800
That's before international players like now, a guy's international.

625
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,800
He's international.

626
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:21,800
He is what he is.

627
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,680
Four of the best five players on planet earth are international guys right now.

628
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,960
But then when he was getting those guys in early 2000s, international players were seeing

629
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:30,960
it behind the curve.

630
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:31,960
They were seeing it slower.

631
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:39,840
They were seeing it less athletic, just not as good as a collegiate American born prospect.

632
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:44,360
The fact that RC Buford and Grape Hopovich went out on the limb with those guys, found

633
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,640
those guys and won titles with those guys, dynasties with those guys, of course, and

634
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:54,280
Kawhi Leonard in the middle of the first round, all credit to Grape Hopovich there.

635
00:35:54,280 --> 00:36:00,040
But just absolutely amazing Hall of Fame class.

636
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:04,400
One of the memories that stick out for me, Dirk, in 2011.

637
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,520
He went through the OKC Thunder.

638
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,200
He went through Kobe and Powell.

639
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,480
And I believe, I think he goes through the Spurs.

640
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:15,680
And I know for a fact he beats the Heedles in six.

641
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:22,680
In the series that Skip Bayless swears that LeBron has a effectively an F-U list ready

642
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,400
to go.

643
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:29,000
After game one, or after game three, when they go up to one, LeBron's having a great

644
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
series at this point.

645
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,120
But they go up to one and LeBron has an F-U list.

646
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,640
And at the top of the list is Skip Bayless.

647
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,680
Skip swears by it that that was going to be, I guess, the one and only time he ever addressed

648
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:47,200
Skip was going to be that moment, kind of the ultimate end to the Black Hat year.

649
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:51,960
And of course, Dirk snuffs him out the next three games.

650
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Tony Parker, I remember his final MVP for the Spurs.

651
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,480
Dope moment there.

652
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:02,440
Pop curmudgeon interviews, the one time he smiled at the interview, like broke the internet.

653
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,520
But of course, Pop just in general.

654
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,080
Powell-Gassau, some of the epic moments he's had with Kobe, when they were speaking Spanish

655
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:13,840
to each other on the court.

656
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,120
The time when Kobe runs through his chest in the Olympics.

657
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,400
Some of the great moments of Powell getting dunked on by Blake Griffin.

658
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,480
Not one of his best moments.

659
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:26,920
But just great moments in Powell-Gassau hitting big jumpers in finals games.

660
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:32,320
I said the back screen, the famous, him and Kobe speaking Spanish for a second, he spins

661
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,600
back and catches a lob.

662
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,240
That was a great D-Wade.

663
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:42,120
What isn't popping in my mind, dunking on Anderson Barrett-Gile.

664
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,440
The big three years, flying all over the court in the 08 Olympics.

665
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,960
He has the most dunks double anybody else in history for the most dunks for a player

666
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:55,640
six foot four shorter in NBA history.

667
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,160
The greatest small attacker of the basket ever.

668
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,400
By small, I mean basically six foot four under.

669
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,400
Six-five and under really.

670
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,800
He's the greatest attacker of the basket ever at that height.

671
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,920
Because Tony Parker, I think at one point led the league in points in the paint, which

672
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:15,880
is insane as a six foot guard.

673
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:22,320
But D-Wade would just go in there and consistently dunking everywhere he can dunk.

674
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:27,280
Absolutely spectacular by him and then Becky Hammond.

675
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:29,600
She was a great WNBA player.

676
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,720
She's a great assistant coach, greatest coach for the Spurs.

677
00:38:32,720 --> 00:38:36,360
Now she's the best coach in WNBA and it's not close.

678
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,800
So kudos to her as well.

679
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,720
Kudos to the entire Hall of Fame class, even the ones I didn't mention.

680
00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:46,000
Congratulations to you guys joining the Naismith Hall of Fame.

681
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,040
All right, touching on some FIBA news.

682
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,080
A couple of NBA stars with injury situations.

683
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:57,240
Luka Donchus set out against the United States in the warm up game due to a quote unquote

684
00:38:57,240 --> 00:38:58,240
injury.

685
00:38:58,240 --> 00:38:59,240
I think it was more of an avoidance.

686
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,920
It was a warm up game for one.

687
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,640
For two, I think that he just didn't want to play the US.

688
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:10,360
Not because he was ducking the US competition like some, I'm gonna say ignorant fans are

689
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,360
saying.

690
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,600
I just think that he may have had a knick.

691
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,920
It was a warm up game.

692
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:20,800
He looks pretty warm and you're going to get a team that's going to hound you.

693
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:26,160
So if he is having any kind of injury, now he's better than anybody on the US team, but

694
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,400
multiple of them, no real help in Slovenia.

695
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,880
If he's having any sort of injury history at all, they're gonna arrest him because they

696
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,760
need him for the knockout round.

697
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,760
Because I'm being honest, they have him, they have a chance at this thing.

698
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,960
It's like Serbia has Jokic.

699
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,600
They have a chance at this thing.

700
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,720
Now Greece is out, for all intents and purposes, because Janis is out.

701
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:47,720
Janis pulled out.

702
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:50,120
He played early.

703
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,920
I don't think he felt right.

704
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,920
I think he played against Jokic.

705
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,040
Jokic had a crazy one foot fade over him.

706
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,800
I just think ultimately Janis put NBA season over Fever World Cup.

707
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:12,160
If he damages things worse and puts this season, he mentioned the Olympics of 2024 into jeopardy,

708
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:13,200
he's gonna feel horrible.

709
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:19,680
So he pulled out of the Fever World Cup and he's gonna focus on the NBA season getting

710
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:25,000
himself all the way right because the NBA season will bleed right into the 2024 Olympic

711
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Games.

712
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,920
And then Team Canada actually got most of their commitments.

713
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:35,840
Team Canada has a bad history of they'll get a lot of guys committed and then they'll

714
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,840
all pull out.

715
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,760
But that team could be really good.

716
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,600
Shea Gittes Alexander, Sharon Jackson Jr., I mean Sharon Jackson Jr.

717
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:50,080
Shea Gittes Alexander, Dylan Brooks, Andrew Wiggins, RJ Barrett, just to name a few of

718
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,600
the guys who are Canadian eligible.

719
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,520
So I'm sure they'll be loaded up for the Olympic Games and they also have a chance at winning

720
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:57,680
the Fever World Cup.

721
00:40:57,680 --> 00:40:59,360
It's pretty wide open.

722
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,680
It usually is for Fever World Cups because America doesn't send the A-Team.

723
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,920
So it's pretty wide open getting a World Cup victory.

724
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:14,200
It's very possible because again America hasn't sent the A-Team since 2006.

725
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:15,920
And even then that wasn't the A-Team.

726
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:21,160
That was the final straw of the rebuilding of USA Basketball.

727
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:26,360
And so as what happens in Fever, that is your Fever International News.

728
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,480
Then a few quick hitters.

729
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:35,960
James Harden's trade discussions have been ended by the Philadelphia 76ers as they have

730
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,940
pretty much decided that they're not going to trade him and that they're going to ensure

731
00:41:40,940 --> 00:41:45,360
that he comes to training camp with the team.

732
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,120
They've had preliminary, I won't even venture to call them preliminary.

733
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:58,200
They've talked to the Clippers, which is Harden's preferred destination, about a trade for Harden.

734
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,440
Those trade negotiations rather have gone nowhere.

735
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,440
And I kind of figured they wouldn't.

736
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:04,800
There's multiple things holding it up.

737
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,920
One, James Harden is not under contract past June 30th.

738
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,880
Which means whoever trades for him has to effectively pre-agree to a contract extension

739
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,120
ahead of time.

740
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:23,320
Because if I'm an organization to get James Harden, it's going to require a lot of assets.

741
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,920
And that's not a situation where I'm going to trade James Harden for a handshake agreement

742
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,720
that I'm going to just re-sign for a big contract in pre-agency.

743
00:42:32,720 --> 00:42:33,720
That's not worth the risk.

744
00:42:33,720 --> 00:42:37,200
Especially that James Harden's already on the wrong side of 30.

745
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,200
So he should be looking at extending anyway.

746
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:45,360
And so you kind of have to trade for him with the handshake agreement in place.

747
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,720
Like, yeah, I'm going to come and I'm going to sign a four-year max when I show up.

748
00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:52,560
You know, I'm going to sign a three-year max upon arrival.

749
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,840
I'm going to agree to a three-year max extension.

750
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,800
You know, then I'm on the contract for four years.

751
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,520
My last big contract in the NBA.

752
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,680
I'm going to try and win a ring on this contract.

753
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,680
Also for the Clippers.

754
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,720
Why would I do that?

755
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:10,480
I already have an issue with Kawhi's injury history.

756
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,840
Paul George's injury history isn't pretty, ever since he broke his leg playing for Team

757
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:15,840
USA.

758
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:17,280
Russell Westbrook's on the team.

759
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,160
That's a personality.

760
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:23,720
Ruston Harden didn't really work in Houston because Rust didn't take Harden's unprofessionalism

761
00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:25,880
too well.

762
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,880
And so putting him back with Rust seems like a bad idea.

763
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,480
And Harden himself has not been the healthiest person on planet Earth.

764
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:35,440
You know, as we all know, he's had up and down weight situations.

765
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,440
And he's going to be coming in.

766
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:41,440
If he doesn't have a contract extension signed when he shows up, potentially disgruntled.

767
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,040
And if his contract negotiates and goes south, you could be looking at a guy who himself

768
00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:47,040
goes south.

769
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,480
It's a joke around Twitter, social media, but fat suit James Harden.

770
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:55,280
Like he just gains a bunch of weight, lets himself go, doesn't give effort.

771
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,800
And then eventually you either have to give him what he wants or trade him.

772
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:02,720
And that's not a spot I'm sure the Clippers want to be in, especially when they're trying

773
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:08,640
to win a title and keep some sustainability for the future.

774
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:13,360
The New York Knicks and Josh Hart agreed to a four year, 81 million dollar contract.

775
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,800
It gets 20.25 million a year.

776
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:19,720
It's not a flat rate deal, but it gets a little over 20 million dollars a year on average

777
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:21,520
annual value.

778
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:28,320
A guy who I believe was a second round pick or a late first round pick got tossed in multiple

779
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,320
trades.

780
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:36,640
He got tossed in the trade for Anthony Davis to go to New Orleans.

781
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,080
He ends up in Portland in the trade.

782
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:45,160
In the trade there for CJ McCollum from Portland.

783
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,280
He gets in a trade for Cam Reddish.

784
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:54,280
So now he finally lands a home in New York except for 81 million.

785
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,000
Does he play the four years in New York?

786
00:44:58,000 --> 00:44:59,000
I think not.

787
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:03,280
I think 84 million is an incredibly traded, I think 20 million dollars, an incredibly

788
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:04,720
tradable contract.

789
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,880
I said it when he signed his extension in New Orleans.

790
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,560
I was like 11 million dollars a year or 12 million dollars a year, whatever it was.

791
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:12,560
That's incredibly tradable.

792
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,440
It's a very tradable number.

793
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,480
I think 20 million dollars is going to be the new 12 where it's higher than the mid

794
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,640
level exception, but nowhere near a mass contract.

795
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:26,080
You can put that in some other pieces and get a mass contract guy like the guy from

796
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,800
Cleveland who they call Spider.

797
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:33,800
You know, in a situation where if a big star comes open signing trade deal, Josh Hart is

798
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:34,800
in that deal.

799
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:40,200
He's a good player, he works hard, hella block room guy, and his contract's very managed

800
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:41,920
to move forward in New Rosa to take on.

801
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:46,000
It's also incredibly tradable if you want to immediately bounce Josh Hart out for something.

802
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,320
So I don't think he plays the four years in New York.

803
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,920
Hope he ran it and didn't buy.

804
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:56,360
And then one of the interesting things that happens during the summer is NBA guys pull

805
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:01,360
up on either summer league basketball or they have open runs, most popularly in Chris Berkeley's

806
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:05,320
gym.

807
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:08,000
Chris Berkeley's gym, Black Ops basketball.

808
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:12,880
They have runs in there which are always fun to watch.

809
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:18,520
An interesting part is when guys who don't really play in the NBA goes for like 60 in

810
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:19,520
a pro run.

811
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:25,040
Like for instance, Jonathan Kamenga is at the crossover in Seattle which gets pro guys

812
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:30,080
in the crossover, the Drew League, the Miami Pro-Am is the three popular places, and of

813
00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:31,600
course Black Ops with Chris Berkeley.

814
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:36,720
These are three popular places where pro guys will get running, with O'Kyrie's dunking

815
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:38,920
one hand alley-oop somewhere.

816
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:44,760
But Jonathan Kamenga went for 60.

817
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:51,120
Bo Champ, I can't think of his first name right now, went for like 80 in the crossover.

818
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,720
Isaiah Thomas went for some absurd number.

819
00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:57,520
He was I think in Miami, no crossover.

820
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,120
He goes for like some ridiculous number.

821
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,280
Tyler Hero in the Miami Pro-Runs nails everything and is tying the game up.

822
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:08,160
Like Kyrie gets a triple double in the cross in the Drew League.

823
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:14,600
We all know that when LeBron went in the most packed Drew League game ever.

824
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:21,360
You know, it's just like you get these guys, Bones Highland had his summer league highlights,

825
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,260
you get these guys where it's kind of pick up basketball, it's open floor, it's a gym

826
00:47:26,260 --> 00:47:28,640
that you know, pressures off.

827
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:32,440
Like I'm used to playing in front of millions of people if you count the people in front

828
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:36,160
of the TV, and even if people stream this game, you might get a thousand consistent

829
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,920
streams and there's two thousand people in the gym.

830
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,080
You know, it's just like being back home playing around just in the park.

831
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,080
It's just a lot of pressure off these guys.

832
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:48,460
But it also showcased the difference between an NBA player and a regular and a really good

833
00:47:48,460 --> 00:47:49,460
player.

834
00:47:49,460 --> 00:47:56,840
So a good basketball player who can go into the Drew League MVP and an NBA player.

835
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,280
There's a couple of guys in these runs that could probably play in the NBA.

836
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:04,120
Franklin Sessions being one of them, which he's long stated the politics of the NBA is

837
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,120
the reason why he's not in.

838
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:11,600
And him not wanting to play a role is the reason why he's not in the NBA.

839
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,520
Because he went overseas and started winning immediately.

840
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:21,200
But you know, there's a couple of guys who maybe can play in the NBA.

841
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:22,760
Kenneth Fareed still dominates these runs.

842
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,240
He hadn't been in the NBA in years.

843
00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:26,760
There's a couple of guys who can play in the NBA.

844
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,760
But for the most part, you get a guy like Tyler Hero, who's six foot six and six foot

845
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:32,760
seven.

846
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:33,760
His whole job is to shoot in the NBA.

847
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,360
He's going to shoot the lights out of the building, especially when they can't NBA scheme

848
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:38,360
him off the line.

849
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,040
He's going to shoot the lights out of the building.

850
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,520
Isaiah Thomas, who's put up 50 pieces in the NBA at five foot nine.

851
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:48,320
He's going to kill the average five foot nine guard and just walk around the program.

852
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:53,400
Jonathan Kamenga, who sucks compared to the NBA players, just put up a 60 piece in the

853
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,240
crossover in a pretty good program league.

854
00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:57,360
I think the Drew Lee is probably the best league.

855
00:48:57,360 --> 00:49:01,120
Miami Pro runs in the crossover is probably second and third.

856
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,720
Venice Beach has a pretty good league, although it's outside.

857
00:49:03,720 --> 00:49:05,160
Most stars don't ever play in it.

858
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,760
He just put up a 60 piece.

859
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,800
Like, it's levels to this.

860
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:13,080
Yes, you're a really good six foot seven player in the crossover.

861
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,800
And so the six foot eight nine NBA players shows up and gives you 60.

862
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:20,480
But it's just it's different in the NBA.

863
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:25,080
And I kind of enjoy the fact that these guys started doing this more of Seattle has a good

864
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:26,080
run.

865
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,360
I can't think of what Seattle's run is called, but they have a good run too, because LeBron

866
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,480
popped in and how he hurt Chet Hongren's foot.

867
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,120
It's not the crossover.

868
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,960
It's another one up in Seattle where they have two good runs.

869
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:35,960
Yeah, shout out to them.

870
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:37,560
And of course, UCLA's infamous runs.

871
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,460
It's not an official league, but people go to UCLA all the time and play.

872
00:49:41,460 --> 00:49:46,360
But I kind of enjoy that these NBA players go to these leagues and just destroy people.

873
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:53,720
I mean, like to rip people apart, like just annihilate people because it's kind of like

874
00:49:53,720 --> 00:49:58,680
even if they don't go for 100 or 60 or 50, like LeBron, I think went for a pretty efficient

875
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,400
37 or something like that again in the jewelry.

876
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:06,120
Kyrie Irvin went to the Drew this summer and Uncle Drew went to the Drew and had a 20 point

877
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,120
triple double.

878
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:12,000
You know, these guys just go and show like there's levels to this.

879
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:13,960
DeMar DeRozan is a constant jewelry player.

880
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:18,360
James Harden goes a lot too.

881
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,120
Like there's levels to this.

882
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,280
You're nowhere close to an NBA player.

883
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:23,280
You're a good player.

884
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,280
You can play basketball.

885
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:26,280
I can see that, but you're not an NBA player.

886
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,440
And I enjoy that they go to these leagues and kind of crush people to kind of calm the,

887
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,320
oh, that guy could probably be in the NBA.

888
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,840
So the NBA player shows up and then you're like, oh, nevermind.

889
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:41,040
And he's playing probably 70% of effort because it's for free.

890
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:42,680
He's trying to not get hurt.

891
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:43,680
He's really not in shape.

892
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:50,920
He just trying to keep, keep some good basketball running with guys who play pretty solid basketball.

893
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:56,080
And so kudos to those guys, like I said, for going and show people that there's levels

894
00:50:56,080 --> 00:51:00,880
to the difference between being a good neighborhood player or whatever and being an NBA level

895
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,880
player.

896
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:20,640
What up next, we're going to have our new closing segment, Jack's Hot Take.

897
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:48,400
Welcome into the show, into our brand new last segment, which we are rebranding away

898
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:53,720
from best for last and moving into Jack's Hot Take in this situation.

899
00:51:53,720 --> 00:51:54,720
It may not be a new topic.

900
00:51:54,720 --> 00:52:00,280
It may not be a new sport, but I'm going to say one hot take a week that it may not just

901
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:04,440
be some, something simple as, oh, I think this team is going to upset somebody or it

902
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:10,240
may not be something as simple as, oh, I think Justin Fields is going to throw 400 yards Sunday.

903
00:52:10,240 --> 00:52:11,720
Like, you know, something off the way.

904
00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:16,400
It may be, it may be that simple, but it may not be, it may be a little more complicated.

905
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,400
My hot take this week is about college athletic realignment.

906
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,080
And we spoke about it for a long time last week, so I'm not going to rehash into it.

907
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,280
No major news is broken this week anyway, which is why it wasn't his own topic in the

908
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:28,280
show.

909
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,760
Even if it was, it might have still been the hot take.

910
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,440
But I'm not going to dive off too far into what's happening with the movie Shakers, who's

911
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,360
going where, what and why.

912
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:45,240
What I will discuss in my hot take stems around this topping point, this talking point.

913
00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:51,040
What about the volleyball players on a Tuesday night that's got to travel from Los Angeles

914
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:55,560
to Ann Arbor and then go to class Wednesday?

915
00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:03,560
What about the travel costs for softball to have to go from UCF to Boulder, Colorado on

916
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:10,120
a Wednesday night and then class is Thursday?

917
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,800
Hot take.

918
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,320
You don't care.

919
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:15,640
Full take.

920
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,720
You've never cared.

921
00:53:18,720 --> 00:53:20,560
Softball has never made money.

922
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:26,840
Neither has women's college basketball, except for UConn, LSU these days, Stanford, Tennessee,

923
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:28,800
there's a few programs that make money.

924
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,040
Most of them are severely in the red.

925
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,280
You don't care about the softball travel.

926
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:37,640
You don't care about track travel.

927
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:43,120
Update for those of you who've never played college athletics, especially Division 1 level.

928
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:50,080
From Los Angeles to Seattle on a Tuesday night to go from USC to the University of Washington,

929
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:55,400
play a volleyball game at seven o'clock, finish at 830, get back on a plane for 930, fly two

930
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:59,640
hours back down the coast, land at 1130, by the time you get out of the facilities, out

931
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:04,080
of the shower and wind down for the night, especially if you win and go out, you're

932
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,240
1 30 in the morning.

933
00:54:06,240 --> 00:54:07,240
Guess what?

934
00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:09,560
You're not going to the 8 a.m. class anyway.

935
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:11,680
I took classes with athletes.

936
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,800
A lot of them.

937
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,240
I worked with Division 1 athletics.

938
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:18,240
I've seen it.

939
00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:20,800
I know what happens.

940
00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:21,800
Guess what?

941
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:27,560
When that softball team plays on a Tuesday night and you got 8 a.m. class at Wednesday

942
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:33,640
morning, they rarely showed up when they had home games.

943
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:41,080
So I'm sure if the team went from South Asians and Hammond and they went to Incarnate Word

944
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:45,640
in the middle of Texas when they got back, they got back and they said, we'll get our

945
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,880
stuff from the tutor or get our stuff online.

946
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,360
We'll have somebody record the lecture.

947
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:51,360
Things happen.

948
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:56,720
Division 1 athletics have been making concessions for people for a very long time.

949
00:54:56,720 --> 00:55:01,800
They always have and they potentially probably always will.

950
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,280
It happens.

951
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,400
So I don't want to hear about what about the volleyball team?

952
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:10,420
What about the softball team?

953
00:55:10,420 --> 00:55:12,800
What about the badminton team?

954
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,000
What about the track team?

955
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,080
You don't care.

956
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:18,080
You never have.

957
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,520
Honestly, you really don't.

958
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:26,280
College athletics realignment is driven by two things.

959
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,400
Football and money.

960
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,400
Plot twist.

961
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:35,480
In college athletics and honestly in the real world, there's the two most synonymous things

962
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:36,480
together.

963
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:37,480
You want to find the most money?

964
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,480
You find the football.

965
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:40,480
Literally.

966
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,600
In the NFL and college athletics, they tell them high school, the money was out with whoever

967
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:45,600
gets the ball.

968
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:46,600
That's how it works.

969
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,600
Why did the Big East die?

970
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,400
Because of football.

971
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,380
They pulled four schools away into the ACC that played football.

972
00:55:55,380 --> 00:55:56,380
The Big East is dead.

973
00:55:56,380 --> 00:55:58,640
It's coming back a little bit, but it died.

974
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:03,560
It didn't no longer have your Georgetown's and your Syracuse's and your St. John's and

975
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:04,560
all this stuff.

976
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:06,160
The great Big East conference.

977
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:13,000
Greatest basketball conference in the country besides the big, besides the ACC died effectively

978
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,000
overnight.

979
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:15,000
Why?

980
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,840
Because of football.

981
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:17,840
Football killed it.

982
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:22,320
Want to know why college athletic realignment is just a major topic?

983
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:23,880
Football.

984
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:25,560
Football killed it.

985
00:56:25,560 --> 00:56:30,160
Hardly ever in these college athletics videos that they show and they talk about, oh, Colorado

986
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:31,960
is going to the Big 12.

987
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,520
I haven't seen them show basketball, baseball, track, softball, or volleyball once.

988
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:37,480
I see a whole lot of Coach Prime.

989
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,720
Oh, USC, UCLA are going to the Big 10.

990
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:45,760
I see a couple of basketball highlights.

991
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:48,360
And that's really when they're playing a Big 10 school so they can show what it would look

992
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,040
like on the court.

993
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:54,920
But it's a lot of football highlights.

994
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:58,240
Oregon and Washington is going to the Big 10 as well.

995
00:56:58,240 --> 00:56:59,240
My God.

996
00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:04,200
I haven't seen that beautiful Oregon court at Mud Swamp Court once.

997
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:06,760
I haven't seen a UW baseball highlight.

998
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,760
Seeing a bunch of football.

999
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,760
You don't care.

1000
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,480
You've never cared.

1001
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:17,000
Flying on a plane from Eugene, Oregon to Ann Arbor and flying on a plane from Eugene, Oregon

1002
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:22,000
to California or Eugene, Oregon to Tempe, Arizona.

1003
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,720
What's the difference?

1004
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:26,440
It's because it's non-traditional.

1005
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,160
It's because the facts got in the way of your feelings.

1006
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,760
It's because the future got in the way of your tradition.

1007
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,720
That's the only reason you're raising holy hell about women's volleyball.

1008
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,560
You could care less.

1009
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:45,360
Honestly, most 95% of America could care less about the effects on the track team.

1010
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,880
They have to travel a while anyway.

1011
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:51,600
On the effects of the volleyball team, their schedule sucks anyway.

1012
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:59,840
On the effect of the softball team, I'm positive that flying from Eugene, Washington to Tempe,

1013
00:57:59,840 --> 00:58:04,840
Arizona on a Tuesday night pretty much predicated they weren't going to class Wednesday morning.

1014
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,000
If at all Wednesday.

1015
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,480
There's no difference for going from Eugene, Oregon to Columbus, Ohio.

1016
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:15,440
It's probably the same flight time and you might actually get better luck as far as weather

1017
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:19,300
because through the winter, sitting volleyball is a winter sport, you might struggle more

1018
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:23,040
getting out of Columbus, Ohio than you would Tempe, Arizona.

1019
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,820
That's about the only difference.

1020
00:58:25,820 --> 00:58:28,080
You may have a little worse travel, but guess what?

1021
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,080
They weren't going to class the next day anyway.

1022
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,320
I don't want to hear about this.

1023
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:33,760
It's a mute point.

1024
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,920
My high take is that you don't give a care.

1025
00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:37,920
You don't at all.

1026
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,320
Any man ain't better had a take, but you don't care.

1027
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:42,320
It's a strictly football related.

1028
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:43,320
Yes, it is.

1029
00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:44,320
I know.

1030
00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,760
That's what the money is.

1031
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:47,100
So guess what?

1032
00:58:47,100 --> 00:58:51,640
If you honestly don't care, which you don't shut up.

1033
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:53,400
That's the take.

1034
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:54,400
Shut up.

1035
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,440
You don't care about women's volleyball.

1036
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,840
You don't care about the softball team.

1037
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,480
You honestly don't care about the baseball team.

1038
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,960
You probably barely care about the basketball team.

1039
00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:07,960
Don't want to hear it.

1040
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,800
Don't want to hear any more complaints about it.

1041
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,080
It's a mute point.

1042
00:59:12,080 --> 00:59:15,480
But that is all I have for you guys today.

1043
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,600
I hope you guys enjoy the show.
