00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,080 Welcome into the show. 12 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:13,880 Welcome into season six, episode six of the Justin Time Sports Podcast. 13 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,040 I am your owner and host, Justin Jackson. 14 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,360 Trying out some new equipment here, starting to upgrade the podcast game a little bit, 15 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,240 get some new stuff. 16 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,800 So apologies ahead of time if it's a little weird. 17 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,880 This will be a late evening Insta release show, not something I'm typically known to 18 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:32,880 do. 19 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,720 However, in this particular scenario, I feel like it is necessary because I wanted to make 20 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:43,960 sure as many bombs had gone off as humanly possible in the NBA and the WNBA. 21 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,720 Now we're going to touch on the W just really quickly. 22 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,040 I know you guys are here for the NBA, some of you, but for those who enjoy the W, really 23 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:57,240 quickly we've had some bombs in the W as well. 24 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:04,480 I'll start off with Alyssa Thomas being moved to the Phoenix Mercury. 25 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,760 She was a court player. 26 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:12,440 So in the WNBA for my NBA and NFL folks, think of it more like a franchise tag or like a 27 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,400 player option or like a team option. 28 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,480 Do it at the franchise tag in the NFL or a team option in the NBA where that team still 29 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,800 has your rights and they can agree to trade you. 30 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,760 Now a lot of times in the WNBA, a court player, if a court player wants to move, they are 31 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,760 moved. 32 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:33,160 Similar to its player on a franchise tag or NBA player in the last year of his contract, 33 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,840 if he wants to move, he's able to be moved. 34 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,480 But the court restriction means only the team can move you. 35 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,880 Brittany Griner in free agency went to the Atlanta Dream. 36 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:49,120 So one of the biggest free agent signings in league history, especially pure free agency 37 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:55,200 as Brittany Griner, an absolute no brainer, Hall of Famer goes to the Atlanta Dream to 38 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,160 partner with their young crew, specifically Ryan Howard. 39 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,080 So that's going to be a very good ball club. 40 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,880 Satu Sabale was traded. 41 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,820 She was another court player, but she made it very clear she had no interest in returning 42 00:04:08,820 --> 00:04:10,080 to the Dallas wings. 43 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,280 So the Dallas wings made a trade with the Phoenix Mercury and the Indiana Fever. 44 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,960 The Mercury ended up with Satu Sabale, Kalani Brown, and Fiji Uzen. 45 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,040 The Indiana Fever ended up with Sophie Cunningham with the 19th overall pick. 46 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,840 And the Dallas wings acquired Ty Harris, Nellisa Smith, the eighth overall pick, and the rights 47 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:38,440 to Kiki Herbert-Harrigan, who has announced that she won't play in the WNBA again this 48 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,080 season. 49 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,520 But that was the bombs for the most part in the WNBA. 50 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,520 There were some others. 51 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Oh, Dejanae Carrington was traded to the Dallas wings. 52 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,760 So her and her longtime companion, Nellisa Smith, are on the same basketball team again. 53 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:59,240 The Indiana Fever continued to impress as they also picked up D'Wanna Bonner. 54 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,840 So a move that many people thought was going to be connected in terms of D'Wanna Bonner 55 00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:10,560 was going to go wherever her wife, Alyssa Thomas, goes. 56 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,320 They ended up in separate cities again. 57 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,480 They were both on Connecticut last season, many people thought, especially when Alyssa 58 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:24,200 Thomas ended up in Phoenix because originally D'Wanna Bonner was a Mercury, that she was 59 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,320 going to find her way into Phoenix and retire there. 60 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,640 Alas, that was not the case. 61 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,040 But that was my WNBA minute. 62 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,040 Couldn't help myself there. 63 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,720 I'm a huge WNBA fan, so I couldn't allow it to just go untalked about at all on the 64 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,720 show. 65 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:45,920 Of course, the Jewelry trade really got it started, but that happened a while before. 66 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,120 But like I said, of course, I couldn't just let it ride with no discussion at all on the 67 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,120 show. 68 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:53,120 It wouldn't be me. 69 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,280 I'm a huge fan of the WNBA and the WNBA podcast, as we are huge supporters of the WNBA on this 70 00:05:58,280 --> 00:05:59,280 show. 71 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:02,800 But let's get into the NBA. 72 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,640 Let's get into a lot of the drama. 73 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Let's get into a lot of the stuff that is happening on the show. 74 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:15,380 So as you guys know, about a week ago, six days ago, a bomb goes off. 75 00:06:15,380 --> 00:06:18,840 In the middle of the night, it's the Luke and Anthony Davis trade, and we've had a lot 76 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,600 of maneuvering and movement since then. 77 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,920 But just to give you guys a reminder, the Lakers ended up receiving Luka Doncic, Mark 78 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:27,960 Keith Morris, and Maxie Klieba. 79 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,880 The Dallas Mavericks ended up with Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 20-29 first round 80 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,720 pick, courtesy of the Lakers. 81 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,520 And the Utah Jazz ended up receiving Jalen Mahoosh Shafino, a Clippers second round pick, 82 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,840 and a Mavericks second round pick. 83 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:45,880 Now what makes this interesting is, one of the things that came out was that Danny Ainge 84 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:52,320 had no idea, which tells you the level of secrecy involved in this trade. 85 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Because Danny Ainge is always involved in the trade because he always knows everything. 86 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,440 And the fact that he only found out 30 minutes ahead of time tells you the level of secrecy 87 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,680 that Nico Harrison and Rob Poenke exercised in this scenario. 88 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,560 Now it has been well received throughout Lakerland as a huge W of a trade. 89 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,400 The national media is still poo-pooing it. 90 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,120 We got guys like Charles Barkley saying, oh yeah, the Mavericks can win the title and 91 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:18,760 the Lakers didn't do anything. 92 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,280 And it's like, the Lakers acquired a top three player in the world. 93 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,160 You're telling me that somehow the Mavericks who lost said top three player in the world 94 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,760 are in a better position than the team that got them? 95 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,320 And they're like, all right, we get it Charles, you're anti-LeBron. 96 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,320 We understand it. 97 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,640 We get it Shaq, you're pro big man. 98 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,680 But let's use common sense here. 99 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Getting a top three player in the world by just definition can't be worse than losing 100 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,880 the very same player. 101 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680 So let's use our common sense here. 102 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,000 But that bomb goes off, right? 103 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,680 And so most people will say, okay, all right, let's breathe. 104 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,640 But I was hearing smoke about De'Aaron Fox and I kept hearing it and I kept hearing it 105 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,640 and I kept hearing it. 106 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,200 A day later, the bomb explodes. 107 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:13,040 And the three team deal involving the Sacramento Kings along with the Chicago Bulls and the 108 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,040 Spurs. 109 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040 De'Aaron Fox finds his stuff on the Spurs. 110 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,360 The full details. 111 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,880 The San Antonio Spurs received De'Aaron Fox and Jordan McLaughlin. 112 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:28,280 The Chicago Bulls picked up Zach Collins, Trey Jones, Kevin Herter, and they get their 113 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,160 20-25 first round pick back from San Antonio. 114 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:36,360 A very valuable asset as the Bulls can end up a top-10 team in a very good draft. 115 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:44,920 And then the Sacramento Kings pick up Zach Levine, Citi Kosoka, I don't know that guy 116 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,920 at all. 117 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:51,640 Three first round picks, which was 20-25 from Charlotte, 20-27 from San Antonio, and 20-31 118 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:52,760 from Minnesota. 119 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,320 And three second round picks. 120 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Remember, the Dallas Mavericks got one pick total for Luka Doncic. 121 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:06,080 The San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings, I'm sorry, picked up six for De'Aaron Fox. 122 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,320 Is Anthony Davis worth four picks? 123 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,720 I mean, that's the only difference in the trades to me. 124 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,640 Is AD worth four picks plus to me as Zach Levine? 125 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:18,640 Because the Citi fella and Max Christie kind of cancel in the grand scheme of life. 126 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:25,320 So is Anthony Davis, or corrections, is Anthony Davis worth two first round picks, three second 127 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:30,720 round picks, and the talent gap of Zach Levine to Max Christie? 128 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,640 If the answer is no, then that means the Sacramento Kings got more for De'Aaron Fox than the 129 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,160 Dallas Mavericks did for Luka Doncic. 130 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,280 Yeah, Nico Harrison, it's a bad trade. 131 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,880 Now I do think people are going way too far. 132 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,480 There's Nico Harrison's hired full-time security, there's been death threats, security's 133 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,960 beat up in the building, there's a lot of craziness happening around Dallas. 134 00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,360 All of that's ridiculous. 135 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,360 In the end of the day, people, it's basketball. 136 00:09:58,360 --> 00:09:59,760 Yes, it's a sport we love. 137 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,000 Yes, it's what we talk about. 138 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,320 Yes, we live and breathe and die, and I'm not going to talk about my team. 139 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,200 Later, it was the Pelicans making how they're making moves at this point. 140 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720 But at the end of the day, people, it's basketball. 141 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:11,720 A decision was made. 142 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,720 Dallas wins the title. 143 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,360 Everyone's going to praise Nico Harrison. 144 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,440 I mean, it's just that simple. 145 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,360 Those same people who are giving them death threats outside of maybe Slovenians are going 146 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200 to praise Nico Harrison for an all-time move. 147 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,000 If he trades Luca Donches and they win a title, why, Anthony Davis is on the team. 148 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,560 We spoke about it with the Donches trade. 149 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:33,080 A lot of it is a bet against Luca. 150 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,120 If Luca ever wins a title, you lost. 151 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:41,560 Even if you win one and he wins one, you can call it at best a split, but most likely people 152 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:45,400 are going to say you lost. 153 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,720 So that's very interesting there. 154 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,440 But anyway, back to the De'Aaron Fox situation. 155 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,520 So that puts Fox and Wimby together, and Fox already had his first game with the Spurs. 156 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:59,080 It looked as spectacular as you would imagine it would look. 157 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,320 And then we had a couple NFL bombs. 158 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:07,480 We had a Caleb Martin trade to Dallas as they're trying to fill in their roster around Anthony 159 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,480 Davis. 160 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,040 But then we started hearing smoke. 161 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,400 Actually, no, I'm going to save that because whatever. 162 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,640 So we're going to save that for a little while. 163 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,800 But then another trade goes off. 164 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,200 Milwaukee Bucks and Washington Wizards agreed to a trade with the Wizards receiving Chris 165 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,360 Middleton, AJ Johnson, and the right to a pick swap. 166 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,680 And the Milwaukee Bucks receiving Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin, and second round picks, multiple 167 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:32,680 second round picks. 168 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:34,400 I believe it was two or three. 169 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:35,480 Multiple second round selections. 170 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,000 So Chris Middleton and Kyle Kuzma ended up being swapped. 171 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000 What's the situation here? 172 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,840 What, why do you move a Chris Middleton? 173 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,000 Why do you pick up a Kyle Kuzma? 174 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,080 You move a Chris Middleton because it was time. 175 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,800 The past couple of seasons, we've gone into those seasons and say, okay, you got Giannis. 176 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:54,800 You have Dame. 177 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:59,600 You pick up Dame in the middle of last season, but you have Dame entering this season if 178 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720 only, if only, if only when it comes to Chris Middleton. 179 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,800 If only he can revitalize some of that prowess that he had before. 180 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,640 If only he could stay healthy. 181 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,880 You find yourself playing the if only game with Chris Middleton and it's a situation 182 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,480 where the Bucks couldn't do anymore. 183 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,400 Instead you go because he lost his defensive ability. 184 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,600 And a lot of times I've noticed with two way players, with NBA players in general, they 185 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,480 lose defensive ability because a lot of times defense involves athleticism and want to. 186 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,560 If I already know I have to conserve energy, I'm much more valuable trying to score the 187 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:35,640 ball than trying to stop him from scoring. 188 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,440 So a lot of times players will lose that defensive intensity because now they're just trying 189 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,400 to basically match their matchup in points. 190 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,400 So if I'm playing a great score and instead of me taking away 10 or 12 of his points, 191 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,320 I've got to add 8 or 9 of mine, you know, to try and cancel out his production. 192 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,520 But now you're bringing in Kyle Kuzma who's never been anybody's defender, but he's a 193 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,520 champion. 194 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,440 He's been in championship locker rooms. 195 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,680 He's been around the greatest player of all time in my opinion. 196 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:03,240 He's been around one of the best big men of all time. 197 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,280 So he's been in those scenarios, he's been in those locker rooms and he's done in LA. 198 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480 So the pressure in Milwaukee is a little different. 199 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,040 It's a little bit nicer than some of the pressure he's felt within LA. 200 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040 I think it's a good move for Kyle Kuzma. 201 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,040 I really do. 202 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,960 The Sacramento Kings were not done. 203 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:27,920 They ended up bouncing newly acquired city, Secoco, I just, Seco, I can't pronounce it, 204 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,320 I'm sorry. 205 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:35,000 To the Washington Wizards who were just involved, obviously with Chris Middleton and the Kings 206 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:41,240 pick up Jonas Valanchunas and two second round picks. 207 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:48,560 So the Wizards trade Val, big Val, to the Kings for the city fella and two second round 208 00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:49,560 picks. 209 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:52,400 The Kings were not done. 210 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:58,120 And then a bomb, a big bomb, not as big as the Luca bomb, but the Jimmy Butler bomb finally 211 00:13:58,120 --> 00:13:59,920 goes off. 212 00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:28,400 And one of the bigger trades I've seen in a long, long time, like I said, one of the bigger trades that's happened in the NBA in a long time as far as the number of teams that was involved in this trade. 213 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,180 So here's the situation. 214 00:14:30,180 --> 00:14:38,500 The Miami Heat ultimately traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in what situation 215 00:14:38,500 --> 00:14:42,800 for a package that involved Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroeder, Kyle Anderson, and a protective 216 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480 first round pick. 217 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,900 The Golden State Warriors then almost immediately agree and in these situations they pretty 218 00:14:48,900 --> 00:14:56,280 much pre-agree, agree to a two year contract extension worth $121 million. 219 00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,880 The Miami Heat immediately rerouted Dennis Schroeder to the Utah Jazz with Josh Richardson 220 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,960 from the Pistons getting routed to the Warriors for Lindy Waters III. 221 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:12,120 And then PJ Tucker ultimately gets redirected to the Miami Heat with Kyle Anderson who was 222 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,760 supposed to get redirected to the Toronto Raptors, but that part of the deal ends up 223 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:24,840 falling apart and he is not rerouted to the Toronto Raptors after all. 224 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:30,360 So, that is what happens with Jimmy Butler. 225 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:36,760 Now what's interesting with the Jimmy Butler trade is there was previous reporting that 226 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,520 he had blocked a trade to the Warriors. 227 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,680 Now I think that had a case to do with the money and I think up until that point his 228 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:51,640 representation was probably telling him he could make his way to Phoenix, which was the 229 00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:53,080 goal from Jump Street. 230 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:59,160 But I think that involved Kevin Durant being moved back to Golden State, which was something 231 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,920 that was deemed literally untenable. 232 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,160 Kevin Durant rejected that premise outright. 233 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,240 He rejected the thought of even going back to Golden State outright. 234 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,600 It was going to be a pretty interesting deal in which case Jimmy Butler would get to Phoenix, 235 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,560 a lot of assets would go to Miami including the Andrew Wiggins and then Kevin Durant would 236 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,680 find himself in Golden State. 237 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:27,800 Again, Kevin Durant rejected the theory of possibly even attempting to go back to Golden 238 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,920 State and ultimately that was the deciding factor in Jimmy Butler finding his way into 239 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,360 Golden State with Andrew Wiggins still finding his way into Miami. 240 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,080 A lot of stuff has been going on with Andrew Wiggins. 241 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,320 It was a somber feeling according to Ohm who works for ESPN. 242 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,680 It was a somber feeling according to him around the locker room when Steve Kerr went in and 243 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:55,120 talked to Andrew and tell him what was going on with the situation. 244 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,440 One of those things you don't think about when it comes down to player acquisition is 245 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:00,440 the player themselves. 246 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,320 I mean you got guys like Dennis Schroeder who compared it to modern slavery. 247 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:10,080 Let's not go that far. 248 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,920 In piggybacking off of that, Dennis Schroeder was traded every day of his week. 249 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:19,640 He was traded Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday to four different places obviously. 250 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:26,640 So you really don't have any control of the situation most of the time especially if you're 251 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,480 not a star level player. 252 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,280 Quick kudos to Lonzo Ball. 253 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,920 He picks up a two year, $20 million contract extension. 254 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:40,220 Many people thought he was going to be moved at the deadline instead him in Chicago agreed 255 00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:41,220 to an extension. 256 00:17:41,220 --> 00:17:42,220 Now, that doesn't mean anything. 257 00:17:42,220 --> 00:17:51,080 He could be traded by August 6th or 5th because of the six month signing trade restriction. 258 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,560 He could be moved in six months. 259 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:59,200 But he will at least through the summer remain at Chicago Bull and look to be their point 260 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,200 guard of the future. 261 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:07,920 Now, one of the deals and one of the situations that was always interesting was what New Orleans 262 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:08,920 would do. 263 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,960 I'm a big fan, so this is pretty interesting to me. 264 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,080 What would New Orleans do? 265 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,640 Because New Orleans was right above the luxury tax. 266 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:26,320 At the time, it was going to be an $18 million check that the Pelicans were basically about 267 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:32,400 to forfeit if and when they decide to stay over the luxury tax limit. 268 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,840 Myself, Bobby Marks, some other people were saying there's no way the Pelicans don't 269 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,800 make a trade to get under the tax. 270 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,440 The most obvious person is Brandon Ingram. 271 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,680 You send Brandon Ingram out, you send him to a team with cap space. 272 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:51,720 That way you can acquire less than what you sent out and you're under the tax. 273 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:56,360 Also, it keeps you under the tax for next season till you avoid the repeat attacks. 274 00:18:56,360 --> 00:19:00,280 Again, that was the most obvious person. 275 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,280 But the Pelicans at some point move Daniel Tice. 276 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,040 So now Daniel Tice gets moved and the Pelicans come under the tax. 277 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,440 Okay, so now in my head, I'm like, okay, they might keep Ingram now because Tice was moved 278 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,680 and you're under the tax. 279 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:23,840 So what's really, so I guess outside of not being stuck to paying his extension, why move 280 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:24,840 him at this point? 281 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,120 If it's a tax reason, you can still get your $18 million check and it's a being an $11.2 282 00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:30,120 million check. 283 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:35,320 But you can end up getting your $18 million check at the time without and keep Brandon 284 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,320 Ingram until the summer where you can use a sign and trade as a leverage. 285 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:45,000 That's because most teams that want to acquire him will need to move out like money. 286 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,040 But bomb goes off. 287 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,920 The New Orleans Pelicans trade Brandon Ingram to the Toronto Raptors for Bruce Brown, Kelly 288 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:59,520 Olenek, a first round pick in 2026 courtesy of Indiana and a second round pick. 289 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,960 Now you're probably wondering as a Pelican fan, how do I feel? 290 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,280 I feel really good about this trade. 291 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,560 At first I was like, okay, we didn't get anything back. 292 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,440 But I realized that could be the genius in the trade. 293 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:15,880 Bruce Brown is a human, real life trade exception. 294 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:23,800 He signed a big, mostly non-guaranteed deal in Denver and it was thought of around the 295 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,680 league as a real life breathing trade exception and that's kind of how it's been treated. 296 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,680 New Orleans is going to get off the contract after this season. 297 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,800 He made the money work for the Brandon Ingram situation. 298 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,320 Kelly Olenek is actually a really good rotational center and then I say we have an additional 299 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:47,520 first round pick in 2026 and then you pick up an additional second round pick as well. 300 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,480 They say I'm enjoying the move. 301 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,360 You basically traded a three year, $144 million contract. 302 00:20:54,360 --> 00:20:55,880 I mean that's literally what happened. 303 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:02,360 We traded a massive contract for a guy that you know I think is worth it. 304 00:21:02,360 --> 00:21:08,240 So kudos to David Griffin there and thanks to you, you still pick up your check. 305 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:14,160 But then the Lakers came back and made a second trade. 306 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:18,760 They trade Dalton Connect, Kam Reddish and their last tradable first round pick, the 307 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,800 one in 2031. 308 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:26,960 One completely unprotected and a 20-30 pick swap to the Charlotte Hornets for Mark Williams 309 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:32,680 who is a rising star, a rising center for the Charlotte Hornets. 310 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:37,000 First of all he's 7'2", 9'9", standing reach. 311 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,680 For context, Victor Wimbenyama has a standing reach of 9'7". 312 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:47,480 So Mark Williams standing reach is actually two inches higher than Victor Wimbenyama. 313 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:52,240 When Mark Williams plays over 28 minutes, he's a 20-12 with a block and a half kind 314 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:53,240 of guy. 315 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:57,080 The problem is he's never played 50 games in a season. 316 00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,360 So the Lakers are incredibly confident in their staff. 317 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:05,280 You know the work on his body, they have LeBron James, the ultimate body guy and they are 318 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,480 making the bet that they are able to keep him on the floor. 319 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:15,560 Which if that's the case, the Lakers go from one of the worst defensive teams to at least 320 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:24,600 middle of the pack with Mark Williams being behind them. 321 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,440 Then there were some other minor trades. 322 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,560 Reggie Jackson and Jerry Butler get swapped for the Toronto Raptors. 323 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:38,600 Also trade Davion Mitchell to the Miami Heat for PJ Tucker, another human trade exception. 324 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,480 A second round pick and some cash. 325 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:49,200 Yousef Nerkic who has been going through several things with the Phoenix Suns organization. 326 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,200 He gets traded to the Charlotte Hornets along with their first round pick for Cody Martin 327 00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,480 and Vasili Misic. 328 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:09,240 My last big trade of the trade deadline was Deandre Hunter who is an incredibly underrated 329 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,240 player. 330 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,080 He was traded from the Hawks to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Keris LaVert, George Nhiang, 331 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080 three second round picks and two pick swaps. 332 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,360 To me that is a very humongous trade. 333 00:23:19,360 --> 00:23:22,600 That's a championship level trade. 334 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,520 Because odds are, I would start him at three. 335 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:31,480 So now one, two, three, four, five is all star-ish and minimum level players. 336 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,880 We know what J.D. Osmond is. 337 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:34,820 I would have Deandre Hunter starting. 338 00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:40,480 So it would be Garland, Mitch, Deandre Hunter, Evan Mobley and Jared Allen and play basketball. 339 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,160 He's a very long-rangey defender. 340 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:50,880 He can also put the ball in the hole and score. 341 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:56,640 Marcus Smart is moved to the Washington Wizards pretty much as one of those draft capital 342 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:57,640 moments. 343 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:06,760 Then James Wiseman was traded to the Toronto Raptors. 344 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,200 What a trade deadline. 345 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,040 What a trade deadline that was. 346 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,480 To say it was a fun one would be an understatement. 347 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,280 We got a lot of use out of our new graphic. 348 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,840 But to say it was a fun one would be an understatement. 349 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:27,360 But some big news coming out after the deadline. 350 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:34,360 The thing that happened today was Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets are negotiating a buyout. 351 00:24:34,360 --> 00:24:37,620 What's weird about his buyout is they're not going to finalize it until he finds an 352 00:24:37,620 --> 00:24:39,360 agreement with a new team. 353 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:42,320 So he's going to continue to get paid by the Nets as full salary. 354 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,360 Then once they figure out an agreement with a new team, then he will request a buyout. 355 00:24:46,360 --> 00:24:52,280 It will be granted and the new team will almost immediately sign him. 356 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,320 So that was the most interesting thing as well. 357 00:24:54,320 --> 00:25:00,640 Ben Simmons still has a lot of positive reputations around the league. 358 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:02,520 Long range defender can really pass the ball. 359 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,820 Can really cause havoc on the wing as far as with his length and versatility and athleticism 360 00:25:07,820 --> 00:25:12,720 can cause absolute havoc on the wing. 361 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,960 And then Kevin Durant. 362 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Kevin Durant in this situation to me was jobbed. 363 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:26,920 And I have little to no doubt he won't be on the Phoenix Suns next year. 364 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:33,920 He was not brought in to the consideration with his trades. 365 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,000 He was not told about trades. 366 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,560 He was not even told about his trade. 367 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:49,520 He was blindsided, despondent regarding to his apparent name being mentioned in trade 368 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,880 discussions. 369 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:56,800 His name being mentioned in conversations regarding a Jimmy Butler. 370 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,560 With his name being mentioned in going back to the Warriors. 371 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:07,240 No wonder he basically said screw you, I'm not going to help you after the way he feels 372 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,240 like he was treated. 373 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,600 Which you get no argument from me. 374 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,720 You are the best player on the Phoenix Suns. 375 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,640 If you're not the best player in the organization's eyes, you're no worse than second. 376 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,560 Similar to Golden State, Devin Booker was born and raised there in basketball since 377 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:21,560 you're an implant. 378 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:22,560 You're a mercenary. 379 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,640 Kevin Durant is the best mercenary in the history of basketball. 380 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,600 Now what I don't get is if I'm Phoenix, I'm trying to shed salary. 381 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,520 I'm not trying to add Jimmy Butler's 121 because at that point I might as well just keep Kevin 382 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,520 Durant. 383 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:39,560 But you know they're going to pay 152 million dollars in luxury taxes this year. 384 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,440 Insane right? 385 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,960 But you know you go through a battle every single day with a group of guys and you love 386 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,040 that place and whatever and then you hear your name in trade rumors for a guy who, let's 387 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,600 be honest, hadn't done what you can do. 388 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:59,360 So that makes it difficult in terms of interpersonal relationships with Kevin. 389 00:26:59,360 --> 00:27:04,400 He's already not the most, let's call it social guy of all time. 390 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:18,960 So to put this level of scrutiny and jokeability and stuff on him makes it difficult. 391 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,240 Makes it very difficult. 392 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:24,760 But you know a lot is happening in the NBA. 393 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,560 Shea Gills Alexander keeps dropping 50. 394 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,040 But other than that, a lot is happening in the NBA. 395 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:35,120 So definitely keep you updated as we enter into the home stretch before the playoffs. 396 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:39,560 Now up next we're going to jump into the Super Bowl and talk about what's going down with 397 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,560 the shield. 398 00:27:42,560 --> 00:28:11,720 Welcome 399 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,920 back into the show. 400 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:21,120 And now we're on to the Super Bowl as we have reached Super Bowl week. 401 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,960 Yes NFL fans we have finally made it. 402 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,680 We have made it all the way to the Super Bowl. 403 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,560 It has been a long arduous journey. 404 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,800 As you guys know we typically start the NFL coverage. 405 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:35,800 Oh my god. 406 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:40,040 I mean it might be, we might be out of the NFL for what three weeks to a month? 407 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,000 And then we're right back in it. 408 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,480 You know we're now we're basketball heavy at that point. 409 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,920 But we are out of the NFL coverage for about a month. 410 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:52,920 Super Bowl ends. 411 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,880 We take a couple of weeks off. 412 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:55,880 So it's probably the last show. 413 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,120 Well I'll probably do a Super Bowl reaction show. 414 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,380 Either right after the game or I'll do one on Monday. 415 00:29:02,380 --> 00:29:05,880 You guys are here no later than Tuesday and then I probably take a couple of weeks off. 416 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,360 Then I get adjusted to being in basketball and then we come back. 417 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,920 It could probably be two, three shows and the NFL free agency will be on and popping. 418 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:20,280 So that's kind of the schedule, the outlook over the next month or so. 419 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,080 Probably no later than after, no later than Mardi Gras. 420 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,880 Or rather right after Mardi Gras will we have a show. 421 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:32,040 Or we have an NFL you know heavy show game with free agency. 422 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,120 So on and so forth. 423 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880 But the Super Bowl is here. 424 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,680 The NOLA Super Bowl is here. 425 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:43,880 It's the Kansas City Chiefs fresh off their back to back Super Bowl championships. 426 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,880 They're coming for another. 427 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,080 They're going to be the try to be the first team to win three in a row. 428 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,200 They're already the first team since the old 304 Patriots to go back to back. 429 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:57,620 Now they look to be the first team ever to win three Super Bowls in a row. 430 00:29:57,620 --> 00:30:00,480 Now the NFL has had three Pete champions before hell. 431 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,520 They've had a five Pete I believe at one point. 432 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:09,840 But the Super Bowl champions have never been three in a row. 433 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,920 And then the Philadelphia Eagles, they're back right. 434 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,880 Last time they were here they faced the Kansas City Chiefs. 435 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:20,040 So this is a familiar opponent for them as far as hey we've been here before with them. 436 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,580 They've been here before with us. 437 00:30:21,580 --> 00:30:26,760 So now you've got the Super Bowl champions back at it again with the Chiefs facing up 438 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,760 opponent. 439 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,880 So the reason why they have the Super Bowl that they have is the Philadelphia Eagles 440 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:36,640 as they were able to come back and defeat them in the Super Bowl. 441 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,200 Quick update on the Jax pack before we move on. 442 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:44,200 We are now 6 and 6 because we went 0 and 2 in Conference weekend and I changed my mind 443 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,360 last minute on the Chiefs. 444 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,160 That would have guaranteed me a winning playoff. 445 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,800 But I ended up going with the Bills. 446 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Sadly had it. 447 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:54,800 Had it. 448 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:55,800 Not gonna lie. 449 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,480 I blew it right at the end. 450 00:30:58,480 --> 00:30:59,480 That hurts. 451 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,400 Had it two and a half. 452 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,960 It's just a lot of pain there honestly. 453 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:14,680 But the Kansas City Chiefs end up beating the Bills by more than three. 454 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,640 And the Eagles again as we talked about in the last time at Super Bowl football absolutely 455 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,040 steamrolled the Washington commanders. 456 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,520 But we went 0 and we are 6 and 6. 457 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,200 This game is an even point spread. 458 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:32,520 So simply picking the winner correctly guarantees me a winning playoff. 459 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,640 Gains me a regular season and a winning playoff. 460 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760 Something that hasn't happened in a few years actually. 461 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,760 Winning both. 462 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,160 Having the two winning seasons. 463 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,880 So let's get back to the game. 464 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:46,480 This game has a lot of history in it. 465 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,560 For Patrick Mahomes you would have the greatest start to a career which he arguably has anyway. 466 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,140 But the greatest start to a career that has ever happened. 467 00:31:53,140 --> 00:31:59,280 You would have started seven seasons and you would have had four Super Bowls. 468 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:00,280 Seven seasons. 469 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:01,440 Four Super Bowls. 470 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,320 For context Tom Brady didn't win his four Super Bowls until year 12 or 13. 471 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,520 Because he won three out of his first four and then he went on a 10 year drought. 472 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,360 So it took year 14 for Tom Brady to get to ring number four. 473 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,680 Patrick Mahomes looking for a ring number four in year seven. 474 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,640 Absolutely insane start to his career. 475 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,200 The worst season he's ever had winning wise. 476 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,520 He lost in the conference championship game. 477 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,200 He's been in the five, this is his fifth Super Bowl appearance. 478 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,540 He's looking for a ring number four. 479 00:32:27,540 --> 00:32:31,440 The only Super Bowl he's ever lost, he lost to the real goat Tom Brady. 480 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,560 But as far as start to a career, you can't get much more of an insane start. 481 00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:37,600 Especially winning wise at the quarterback position. 482 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:42,160 Then your first seven years you're potentially walking away with four Super Bowls and five 483 00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:43,160 appearances. 484 00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:48,400 I mean absolutely again just ridiculous level of winning. 485 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:52,400 The Philadelphia Eagles on the other side man that team is no slouch. 486 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,320 You've heard all the coverage all week. 487 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,160 I'm not going to beat you to death with Super Bowl coverage. 488 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,720 You've heard it all week. 489 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:06,960 But the Philadelphia Eagles have one of, no correction I'm going to backtrack. 490 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,900 The Philadelphia Eagles have the best roster in pro football. 491 00:33:10,900 --> 00:33:12,380 It ain't close. 492 00:33:12,380 --> 00:33:16,320 The best player on the field I give you is Patrick Mahomes. 493 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:21,080 The second best player on the field Chris Jones or say Corbin Barkley. 494 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:27,320 Players three through 12 might all play for the Eagles with Joe Tooney being the one outlier 495 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,040 and because he's forced to play tackle he might not be it anymore either. 496 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,640 That's insane. 497 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,840 The best, I mean if you look at position groups in this game, the best position group in the 498 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,760 game is quarterback. 499 00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:44,400 Which again has to go to the Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs by virtue of him 500 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,560 being in it. 501 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:52,720 The second best position group has to be the Philadelphia Eagles defensive line followed 502 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:57,200 by the Philadelphia Eagles running backs followed by the Philadelphia Eagles. 503 00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:04,680 Okay, Kansas City Chiefs offensive line, then the Philadelphia Eagles receiving core, then 504 00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,480 you start going to the Chiefs. 505 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,160 The Philadelphia Eagles have the most complete and best roster in the league. 506 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:16,960 It's not conjecture, it's not an opinion, that's a fact. 507 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:23,440 I've made it up a few times on this show, it's literally like Noah's Ark over there. 508 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,240 They've got two of everything. 509 00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:28,720 They've got two good receivers, AJ Ron, Devontae Smith. 510 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:35,960 They've got two great nose tackles, Jordan, Jaylen Carter and the other big one, I can't 511 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,480 think of his name right now. 512 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,320 They've got two great defense tackles. 513 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,680 They've got two crashy linebackers in Zach Bond and the other guy. 514 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,080 They have a 2,000 yard rusher in Saecon Barkley. 515 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,840 It is ridiculous. 516 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,200 They have talent everywhere. 517 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:58,160 Even in the offensive line, losing Alain Johnson, losing a Jason Kelsey, another time Alain 518 00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,960 Johnson, losing a Jason Kelsey. 519 00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,400 They have just kept trucking along. 520 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,880 They are ridiculously talented. 521 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:06,600 Even Jaylen Hurts is a dual threat. 522 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,560 He's got two ways to beat you, throwing and running. 523 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,120 The Kansas City Chiefs are the Kansas City Chiefs. 524 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:17,840 I've spoken about it before and I don't think this can be reiterated. 525 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:24,640 They have made it to the Super Bowl five out of seven years, impacting my home's quarterback 526 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:25,920 tenure. 527 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:30,480 They have won the Super Bowl three out of those years. 528 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,800 If you don't count this trip, three out of four chances they've been in the Super Bowl, 529 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,120 they've won it with only one loss to Brady. 530 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:42,360 The previous six years before this year, they went to six conference championship games, 531 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,560 winning four of them. 532 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:49,040 They've lost one to Brady and they lost one to Borough, both on late game comebacks. 533 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,000 Brady and overtime, Borough at the end of the fourth quarter. 534 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,160 In the year Borough loses to the Rams, in the year Brady wins for Tampa. 535 00:35:55,160 --> 00:36:03,240 I'm sorry, in the year that Brady goes and wins the last Super Bowl in New England. 536 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:10,920 Really ridiculous level of complete dominance as far as winning in situations, as far as 537 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:15,360 winning in just the draft they've hidden free agency. 538 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,800 They've obviously hit on the coaching staff. 539 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,720 Remember when we go into that Texas game and I said, man, every Chiefs game this year looks 540 00:36:21,720 --> 00:36:23,600 the same. 541 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,080 Every single Chiefs game looks the same. 542 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,600 They come out, they go out and they put a hell of a first draft together. 543 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:36,240 You can tell Andy Reed and the crews are cooking that drive up and they go and they put a hell 544 00:36:36,240 --> 00:36:38,720 of a first draft together. 545 00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:42,240 They often slows down for the rest of the game, but the defense never gives up a lot. 546 00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:44,760 They never go down really far. 547 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,040 Then that fourth quarter, they're going to win that fourth quarter by double digits. 548 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,040 They're going to win it 13-3. 549 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,040 They're going to win it 14-0. 550 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,040 They're going to win it 10-0. 551 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,040 They're going to win the fourth quarter 16-3. 552 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,880 They're just going to win the fourth quarter by double digits and they're going to escape 553 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,320 you by four to five points. 554 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:06,520 It happens almost every single time and you're going to feel like you outplayed them and 555 00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,080 you're going to look at your number and say, we did. 556 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,440 You're going to say, oh man, there's three plays that we win this game by 18 plus and 557 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,160 we lost it by five. 558 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:18,120 You don't know how it happened to you because it has happened to everyone. 559 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:22,120 They continually find ways to win games. 560 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,080 It is remarkably frustrating. 561 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,000 It is stupendously annoying. 562 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:33,320 It is frustratingly cool. 563 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:42,120 It is mind-blowingly annoying as they find ways literally over and over and over and 564 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,360 over and over and over and over. 565 00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,040 They find ways to win the game. 566 00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,440 It's infuriating. 567 00:37:53,440 --> 00:38:00,640 But kudos to them for still finding ways to win games and for finding ways in order to 568 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880 continue to be on top. 569 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,560 But I've given you enough of the back and forth. 570 00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,680 I've given you enough of the conjecture. 571 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,160 I've told you that the point spread is E, which means it's even. 572 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,400 No.5, no one, no nothing. 573 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:16,880 It's a dead spread even. 574 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,320 There's no point in betting the point spread. 575 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:24,320 You get equal money for both if your sports book is smart. 576 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,600 The over under simply is 48.5. 577 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:31,700 The money I think I've seen on several sites where even the money line with both teams 578 00:38:31,700 --> 00:38:32,700 were negative. 579 00:38:32,700 --> 00:38:38,280 This is about as dead heat of a Super Bowl as we have seen in a very long time. 580 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,560 The initial spread was chiefs minus two. 581 00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:45,320 It's been bad all the way down to even money. 582 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,960 Insane, right? 583 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,200 That many people are on the side of the Philadelphia Eagles. 584 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:56,240 It swung two to two and a half points in many sports books. 585 00:38:56,240 --> 00:38:57,720 That kind of swing doesn't happen. 586 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:02,600 It swung that far. 587 00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:06,360 But now it's time to pick a winner. 588 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,520 And I've been battling with this since they came together. 589 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,420 One point I was chiefs 1000%. 590 00:39:11,420 --> 00:39:15,160 You couldn't have told me anything but the chiefs are going to get a three-peat. 591 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,000 And then I said, man, it's hard to beat a team twice. 592 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,120 It's damn sure hard to beat a team twice on a Super Bowl. 593 00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,120 So I went to the Philadelphia Eagles. 594 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,920 I said, man, Saquon Barker is going to control this game time possession. 595 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,760 They're going to have a couple of clever plays from Kellen Moore. 596 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:33,280 This is basically his, I'm going to get New Orleans, get ready to see this on a regular 597 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,720 basis because I'm going to be the head coach of the Saints. 598 00:39:35,720 --> 00:39:40,080 So New Orleans, get ready to see this, get used to the locker room. 599 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,720 Ironically they will be in the home locker room. 600 00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,760 You know, what's pretty funny about that. 601 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,240 They're going to be in the home locker room. 602 00:39:47,240 --> 00:39:50,600 So Kellen Moore, you know, move your stuff into the head coach office and just leave 603 00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,200 it there because that's going to be your office. 604 00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,520 You know, I mean, the Super Bowl is Sunday. 605 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,560 They'll probably announce him as the, it'll probably leak. 606 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,160 He's the coach Sunday night, early Monday morning. 607 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:05,840 He'll probably get formally announced as the head coach. 608 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,320 No later than Tuesday or Wednesday. 609 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,320 He'll give a press conference on Thursday. 610 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,920 I mean, like literally, I hope he brought his stuff. 611 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,560 Like that's the level of, you know, he's going to be a head coach. 612 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,720 He's going to be the head coach of New Orleans. 613 00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:23,280 I hope he brought his bags and his family and so on and so forth so they don't have 614 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,080 to like go back and get any of that stuff. 615 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,200 But he's going to be a head coach, right? 616 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,080 He's going to be the head coach of the New Orleans Saints. 617 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:34,320 And I think this is his chance to show off some of that talent. 618 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:39,120 If you're Nick Sirianni, you've got a correct thing that you gave up last time. 619 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,720 I think they got a little lax in coverage. 620 00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:46,800 They went to stop the big play and the Chiefs have an amazing ability. 621 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,560 I give credit to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes for this. 622 00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,480 They have an amazing ability to hurry up, to get a lot of plays in a short amount of 623 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,720 time and score. 624 00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:58,400 So like most people, man, a minute left, you got to go 80 yards. 625 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,200 They're looking for bombs, you know, 20 yard chunks, 15 yard chunks. 626 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:10,000 The Chiefs have an ability to go seven, six, 12, seven, eight, nine, five, three, 10, 12, 627 00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,000 20 touchdown. 628 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,680 And you're like, they did that in a minute. 629 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:14,680 And you know what I'm saying? 630 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,280 They got nine to 10 plays off. 631 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:20,320 And they can, you know, they have an ability when needed to have a nine play, 80 yard 632 00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,360 drive for a touchdown and a minute and some change. 633 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:27,040 And it's just a freakish ability and they can just do it, right? 634 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:31,160 It reminds me when the Patriots, if you left more than a minute and a half on the clock, 635 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:37,080 a minute and 10 on the clock, you know, heaven forbid Brady had a timeout, you were shaking 636 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,200 basically because he's coming and he's going to do it. 637 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,240 And that's what the Chiefs have the ability to do. 638 00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:46,440 And I sit here and, you know, a little behind the scenes here. 639 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,800 I don't have a winner on the paper. 640 00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,960 I literally have a winner question mark. 641 00:41:49,960 --> 00:41:52,320 I mean, I agree with the sports books. 642 00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,320 I agree with the lines. 643 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:54,320 I have no idea. 644 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:58,120 This is, I mean, this is one of the more even two balls in a long time. 645 00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:03,320 You have a Chiefs team that you just feel like they're going to do it again. 646 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,320 You have a Chiefs team that you're like, man, three in a row. 647 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,680 If anyone's going to do it, it's going to be them. 648 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:14,160 You have a Chiefs team that always wins the big game, that always figures it out, that 649 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:19,160 always somehow, someway has an ability to win the game. 650 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,000 And it just doesn't make sense. 651 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:22,680 You just don't get it. 652 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,360 But at the same time, this Eagle team is hungry. 653 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:31,760 They have a lot of guys who just want to battle, who just want to go to war with Patrick Mahomes, 654 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,600 who just want to go at it with the Kansas City Chiefs, especially because a lot of these 655 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:40,640 very guys feel like they got robbed and they blew an opportunity, a golden chance to have 656 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:46,360 jewelry on their finger already. 657 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,320 But in this game, I've faded the Chiefs a lot. 658 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,320 I have. 659 00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,360 I've faded the Chiefs a lot this season. 660 00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,160 Some of it has worked, especially in point spread. 661 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,800 Some of it has not. 662 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,360 I'm going to go with the Kansas City Chiefs to win their third soup bowl in a row. 663 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:08,520 So my official Just In Time Sports pick is the Kansas City Chiefs win their third soup 664 00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:09,520 bowl in a row. 665 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,040 As a matter of fact, I'm going to mark it on the page right now. 666 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:17,000 Like I said, as of right this second, it was not on the page, but it is officially circled 667 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:22,360 on my notes that the Kansas City Chiefs will win their third soup bowl in a row. 668 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:26,600 And we will get endless conversation of Patrick Mahomes being the GOAT because he'd be the 669 00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,600 first one to ever do it. 670 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:32,720 He would have four soup bowls before the age of 30. 671 00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:35,760 He'd have, I believe, four soup bowl MVP's as well. 672 00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:38,520 He'd have two to three regular season MVP's. 673 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,520 He would have the greatest start to a football career that has ever existed. 674 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,960 And admittedly, who am I to tell him that? 675 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,320 Who am I to say anything about anyone at that point? 676 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,240 Now, would it shock me if Philly gets to win? 677 00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:51,240 No. 678 00:43:51,240 --> 00:43:55,600 But as of right now, I've got the Kansas City Chiefs. 679 00:43:55,600 --> 00:44:00,240 But let's move on to two immortals. 680 00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:03,520 Immortals who have bussed in the Canton Pro Football Hall of Fame. 681 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:09,160 In the smallest class since 2005, there were only four inductees into the Pro Football 682 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,160 Hall of Fame. 683 00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:11,800 Now, I didn't know you could go that small. 684 00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,520 Like I know baseball has had years, they don't induct anybody. 685 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:18,320 Like because baseball, you have to have like 80% of the ballads, something like that. 686 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,400 And they've had years where they don't induct anyone. 687 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,140 And that's a really weird like concept. 688 00:44:23,140 --> 00:44:25,180 You don't induct anybody. 689 00:44:25,180 --> 00:44:31,480 But baseball, baseball classes are typically two to five people. 690 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,000 They don't have eight, nine, ten people classes. 691 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:35,480 They have them two to five, usually. 692 00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:39,240 And then like I said, there's been a couple years recently they didn't induct anybody. 693 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:44,640 But this, I thought football, I thought you had to have five current years, five current 694 00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:45,640 two class. 695 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,820 I thought like seven or six or seven was always the number. 696 00:44:47,820 --> 00:44:49,880 But they end up going with four this season. 697 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,720 The Hall of Fame ended up being Antonio Gates, tight end of the Chargers, Eric Allen, who 698 00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:58,600 was a cornerback, Jared Allen, a defensive end primarily. 699 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:03,440 I remember him from the Vikings and Sterling Sharp. 700 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:08,640 Sterling Sharp, before his injury, he had a neck injury that forced him to retire. 701 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:13,480 Sterling Sharp was on path to break a lot of Jerry Rice's records. 702 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:18,520 Now, would the longevity have held up till he physically just caught Jerry Rice in numbers? 703 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,520 Maybe not. 704 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,200 Sterling Sharp was one of those receivers. 705 00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,720 He won, I think, two Triple Crowns or something like that. 706 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:31,440 Was absolutely an amazing receiver in the early days of Brett Favre and Green Bay. 707 00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,840 Ends up clearing the way for your Donald drivers and et cetera and Green Bay later with Brett 708 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:35,840 Favre. 709 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,560 But Sterling Sharp was the guy. 710 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,280 I remember Shani Sharpe, his Hall of Fame production was like, I'm not even the best 711 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:43,400 football player in my own family. 712 00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:46,360 Sterling Sharp should be in the Hall of Fame. 713 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,820 Terrell Davis opened the door. 714 00:45:48,820 --> 00:45:53,480 So when Terrell Davis got in the Hall of Fame, Shani Sharpe's teammate in Denver, Terrell 715 00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,880 Davis only played six years or six or seven years. 716 00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:01,040 But in those six, seven years, Terrell Davis has two, 2000 yard seasons and he also has 717 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,640 a couple of football rings. 718 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,840 So while he doesn't have the counter, while he doesn't, I don't think he has 10,000 yards 719 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,560 rushing, he went for 2000 twice and he has two rings. 720 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,680 Terrell Davis ends up retiring due to concussions. 721 00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,780 Sterling, I can tell you, retired because of a neck injury. 722 00:46:14,780 --> 00:46:19,840 But in his short six or seven year career, he had a couple of triple crowns. 723 00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:24,120 He didn't win a Super Bowl, but he was clearly either the best or second best receiver in 724 00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,120 the league. 725 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,120 He has multiple first team All-Pros. 726 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:33,280 I mean, honestly, if he had his career and you added seven years of minimalness, he's 727 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,280 a no brainer. 728 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:39,480 But because of the amount of years he had in the league, people pushed back on it originally. 729 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:45,800 And he's in and one of the cooler and just wow moments is Shannon Sharp. 730 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,600 Sterling was staying over at Shannon's house and he kind of set this whole little thing 731 00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:54,360 up and then Sterling comes down the stairs and Shannon says, welcome. 732 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,240 And Sterling was like, to your house? 733 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,080 Like, you know what I'm saying? 734 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,680 I've been here a thousand times, dude, like to your house. 735 00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:05,920 And then Shannon in his gold jacket says, no, the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 736 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:11,840 And as you can see, Sterling is like, wow, why did he start to like hit him like he's 737 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:16,680 in and then Shannon starts breaking down and Sterling tells him like, yo, the proudest 738 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,400 professional moment I've ever had was when you got in. 739 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,280 And then Shannon was telling him like, no, this, you don't understand this feeling of 740 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:30,160 me being able to tell you you're in is, he's at his proudest moment. 741 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,520 It was the my older brothers and they both got to sit down and like Shannon has called 742 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,240 Sterling like his father, basically. 743 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:41,000 He was like, my example of how to do anything was Sterling Sharp. 744 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,560 And he said he had his grandfather, of course, but he was like, my example, especially in 745 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:50,120 adulthood of how to do anything in the league, how to carry yourself, whatever was Sterling. 746 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:54,680 And so, you know, absolutely amazing moment for the Sharp brothers, the Sharp family. 747 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:58,800 They become the first set of brothers to ever be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame together. 748 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:03,720 I am sure Shannon is going to fight like hell to get Sterling's bus as close to, if not 749 00:48:03,720 --> 00:48:06,280 next to him as possible. 750 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,640 So now when they, you know, Sterling was like, man, his proudest moment was being with Shannon 751 00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:11,760 during that weekend. 752 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:17,280 So now Sterling gets his chance for Shannon to be in Sterling's light. 753 00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:23,520 And, you know, Sterling be the bail of the ball, especially since it's a small class. 754 00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:26,960 Sterling gets to be the bail of the ball while Shannon is riding the shotgun and that, you 755 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:32,480 know, it's dream worthy, right? 756 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:37,320 Like I can't even think of a pair of brothers in the NBA who made the basketball Hall of 757 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:38,320 Fame. 758 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:44,080 I'm sure baseball, I don't think, like a Pro Football Hall of Fame set of siblings, a Pro 759 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:48,380 Hall of Fame of siblings is massively impressive. 760 00:48:48,380 --> 00:48:51,720 If they're not the only ones on the list, they're on a very short list. 761 00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:56,160 So congratulations, but again, congrats to all the Hall of Famers, Antonio Gates, Eric 762 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,200 Allen, Jared Allen, and of course Sterling Sharp. 763 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:04,040 A couple of near misses, I would assume, I would have added these guys, no doubt about 764 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,040 it. 765 00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:06,720 Adam Vinatieri is the best kicker of all time. 766 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:07,720 Period. 767 00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:09,360 There wasn't a drop off. 768 00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:13,400 Like Adam V might have had one half of a year when he was off and then he retired. 769 00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,320 He is simply the best kicker of all time. 770 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:21,040 The best anything of all time needs to be in the Hall of Fame of that sport. 771 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,080 He was not in on first ballot. 772 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:24,800 Eli Manning did not get in. 773 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:30,680 Now Eli, I'm in the debate group of Eli. 774 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,920 You have the camp, especially the media, most of the media comes from New York. 775 00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,560 That's like, oh my God, Eli Manning was robbed. 776 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,520 How was he not in? 777 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,880 Eli Manning was very average for most of his career. 778 00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:43,840 He doesn't have the All Pros, he didn't have the MVPs, he didn't have the Pro Bowls or 779 00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,720 whatever, but he didn't have the All Pros nor the MVPs. 780 00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:49,920 He has multiple years of leading the league in picks. 781 00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,800 He has multiple years of just being flat out bad. 782 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,480 And then he has the two Super Bowl runs against Brady. 783 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:59,000 Now if Eli Manning makes the Super Bowl, Tom Brady is the GOAT. 784 00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,040 Because the only reason why Eli Manning is in the Super Bowl is because he beat Tom Brady 785 00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,560 twice in Super Bowls. 786 00:50:03,560 --> 00:50:04,560 That's it. 787 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:08,720 That's the only qualification he has to be in the Hall of Fame. 788 00:50:08,720 --> 00:50:13,160 But a guy I would have in no doubt under the Terrell Davis Sterling Sharp argument is Luke 789 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:14,160 Keighley. 790 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,560 Luke Keighley easily was the best linebacker in football for multiple years. 791 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,800 He was all decade linebacker, multiple first time All Pro. 792 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,720 The only reason he had to retire was due to concussions. 793 00:50:24,720 --> 00:50:31,480 So I think under the same law and guidelines that Terrell Davis Sterling Sharp is getting, 794 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:34,880 I believe Luke Keighley should be there as well. 795 00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:39,520 But now I'm going to quickly run through the NFL awards. 796 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,040 We had the NFL awards show just last night. 797 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,180 Your MVP is Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. 798 00:50:45,180 --> 00:50:51,120 He becomes just the third player ever to not be first team All Pro, but instead to win 799 00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:52,800 the league MVP. 800 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,120 So he's just the third player ever. 801 00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:58,600 Not the first, but he is a very short list of players to have done this. 802 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:04,280 Offensive player of the year is Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Saquon Barkley. 803 00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,080 I think if you're not going to give the MVP to Lamar here, Saquon should be MVP. 804 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,640 I was going to be honest with you because you can't... 805 00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,240 Lamar Jackson had an absolutely historic year at the quarterback position. 806 00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,500 Josh Allen played incredibly well. 807 00:51:16,500 --> 00:51:20,200 But to me, Lamar Jackson had the best year at quarterback. 808 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,160 If you're not going to give it to Lamar Jackson, it has to be Saquon Barkley. 809 00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:28,720 But instead Saquon gets the Everybody Else MVP award, which is offensive player of the 810 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:34,480 year, while Josh Allen gets the quarterback award, which is the MVP these days. 811 00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:38,120 The defensive player of the year, a rarity, which is the cornerback position, Pat Sertane 812 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:43,640 the second, becomes the first cornerback, since Stephon Gilmour, to pick up the defensive 813 00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:44,640 player of the year. 814 00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:51,320 It is naturally designed for a edge rusher to pick it up, but Pat Sertane the second 815 00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,160 picks it up. 816 00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,360 Coach of the year, Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell. 817 00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,360 A little bit of a shocker here. 818 00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:03,120 To me, I remember saying on the show, the week 18 game between Kevin O'Connell and 819 00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,460 Dan Campbell's Lions was going to decide who's going to get coach of the year. 820 00:52:06,460 --> 00:52:08,680 To me, those were the easy to the top two. 821 00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,760 I just figured that once Dan Campbell, especially completing the sweep over Kevin O'Connell 822 00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,320 in that moment, had secured the votes, but apparently he did not. 823 00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:22,320 I guess a lot of credit was given to Kevin O'Connell for the Sam Darnell resurgence. 824 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:26,760 The offensive rookie of the year, one vote shy of a unanimous was Jayden Daniels. 825 00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,120 The vote did go to Brock Bowers. 826 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:29,760 I'm not mad at it. 827 00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:33,520 Brock Bowers had an absolutely historic year at the tight end position, but Jayden Daniels 828 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,040 was the clear cut offensive rookie of the year. 829 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,960 To me, just as clear cut, Jared Vurce wins the defensive rookie of the year as the new 830 00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:45,800 lynchpin in the Los Angeles Rams pass rush. 831 00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,800 The comeback player of the year was Joe Burrow. 832 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:53,880 Many people thought it would be Sam Darnell, but also Joe Burrow wins the quarterback triple 833 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:59,560 crown or the quarterback passing crown and just had the worst defense in the history 834 00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:00,680 of existence. 835 00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:05,280 It feels like otherwise he'd be probably still, he'd be deep in the playoffs with the amount 836 00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:09,200 of yards and turns he put up, but he missed a good chunk of last year with a hand injury. 837 00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:17,000 Sam Darnell gets taken out of the race due to the quote unquote meaning or intent of 838 00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:22,360 the award and so Joe Burrow picks up the comeback player of the year award. 839 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:26,440 But that is all I have for today. 840 00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:27,440 Absolutely great show. 841 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,640 Thank you guys for rocking with me. 842 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,640 This is always a pleasure to do this with you guys. 843 00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,000 Being able to talk a little NBA, being able to talk a little NFL. 844 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:37,720 I appreciate you guys so much. 845 00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:39,720 This is your host, Justin Jackson signing out.
