Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First”! They begin by discussing that hyperathletic stars rarely win titles and why that bodes better for SGA than Ant in the playoffs (4:00). Colin explains that NIL has fortified college hoops and infused the sport with overseas talent, and argues that OKC should use rather than trade their treasure trove of draft picks (11:00)… but Nick offers a word of caution about OKC becoming a dynasty (14:45). They try to identify how many NBA players are more famous than Caitlin Clark, and it’s a short list…and Nick argues that die hard WNBA fans are confusing the popularity discussion with “best player” discussion… and Clark’s skill hasn’t lapped her popularity (24:00). Sticking with the fame discussion, they pivot to Baker Mayfield being far less popular and famous relative to the level of football he’s been playing (32:00). They discuss several “enigma” quarterbacks, where they can’t decide whether they’re great or not…including Jordan Love, CJ Stroud and Justin Herbert (35:00). They highlight several “what-if” moments in NFL history and wonder if Herbert will be able to shake off his terrible playoff performances in the future (46:00). They dive into how best to parse individual success in team sports, and debate whether USC removing the Notre Dame game from their schedule is worth breaking their longstanding rivalry and tradition (58:30). Finally, they debate whether the Chiefs have replaced the Cowboys to become “America’s Team” (1:18:00), and Nick explains his experience “parachuting” into the world of professional poker (1:30:00).

[1:17] Speaker 2: We get him about once every three or four weeks,
[1:19] Speaker 2: and I always love it. So I you know, on television,
[1:21] Speaker 2: I got about twelve minutes and I can't you know, extrapolate,
[1:24] Speaker 2: you know, I can't go into too much detail. But
[1:26] Speaker 2: I was thinking about this today when I was taking
[1:28] Speaker 2: the train home, which yeah, I do now take the
[1:30] Speaker 2: train home every day.
[1:32] Speaker 3: Yeah I do. Wow.
[1:34] Speaker 1: Good for you, buddy, one of the people.
[1:37] Speaker 3: Yeah, man of the people. It's what everyone's always said
[1:40] Speaker 3: about you.
[1:41] Speaker 2: So there's a knock on Sga And I've said this,
[1:44] Speaker 2: He's not a lot of fun to watch, but it's interesting.
[1:47] Speaker 2: I went back to like George Miken and if you
[1:52] Speaker 2: go back, take Lebron, Michael Jordan, and Kobe Out. They
[1:57] Speaker 2: are hyper athletic. They are among NBA players insane. And
[2:05] Speaker 2: what I'm going to mention to you are the leaders
[2:07] Speaker 2: of dynasties and the leaders of champions. George Miken, Havelchek Kouzi,
[2:12] Speaker 2: Moses Malone, du Mars, Isaiah Isaiah, Akeem Burn, McHale, Magic,
[2:18] Speaker 2: Kareem Duncan, Tony Parker, Steph Draymond Jokich, Murray Sga, Dirk
[2:23] Speaker 2: Luca separately, Katie Harden, Bill Walton, Rick Berry, wes Unseld
[2:29] Speaker 2: Gus Williams. You start going from the sixties on, it
[2:34] Speaker 2: is remarkable how often the hyper athletic player, the Sean Kemp,
[2:40] Speaker 2: the Drexler, the meek, doesn't win titles. We are fascinated
[2:45] Speaker 2: with them, but it's the foundational player. It's the player
[2:49] Speaker 2: that gives you twenty eight in place on both ends.
[2:52] Speaker 2: And so I think the league's history doesn't favor Ant.
[2:57] Speaker 2: It favors SGA, who is a I said, yes, today
[3:01] Speaker 2: SGA averages thirty three at night because he scores thirty
[3:05] Speaker 2: three at night. Aunt average is twenty five because he
[3:08] Speaker 2: scores thirty nine and.
[3:09] Speaker 1: Then nineteen and the yeah.
[3:13] Speaker 3: And when there's a consistency with SGA, F and Duncan
[3:17] Speaker 3: and Havelcheck and a Keem now again Lebron Kobe MJ
[3:22] Speaker 3: take him off the board.
[3:23] Speaker 1: But most of our great dynasties and teams have been
[3:28] Speaker 1: about really great coaching and.
[3:30] Speaker 2: At times kind of a boring efficient.
[3:34] Speaker 1: I mean, isn't Jason Tatum closer to SGA than Ant?
[3:40] Speaker 1: Is he not?
[3:41] Speaker 3: Yeah? No, Tatum might be. But I'm gonna push back
[3:45] Speaker 3: here because you I don't think intentionally, but you'd left
[3:49] Speaker 3: out Bill Russell who won eleven and while he wasn't flashy, yeah,
[3:54] Speaker 3: was either the best or the second best athlete of
[3:56] Speaker 3: his era. And that when I say best or second,
[3:59] Speaker 3: well he was second best because Wilt Chamberlain was there.
[4:02] Speaker 3: Now he only won two. You did not include doctor
[4:07] Speaker 3: j who only won one in the NBA but dominated
[4:12] Speaker 3: in the ABA. And then of course there is the
[4:15] Speaker 3: ten between Michael and Lebron that are like this, so
[4:20] Speaker 3: and it's there's ten right there. I think that Ant
[4:25] Speaker 3: is being so here's here's I think an odd take,
[4:33] Speaker 3: but I believe it to be true. I think to
[4:37] Speaker 3: the audience, Ant and SGA feel like they're the same.
[4:42] Speaker 4: Age, even though SGA is almost four years old, right
[4:46] Speaker 4: because it feels like they have both they have both
[4:49] Speaker 4: been on like fringe contender to wait, legitimate contender, to
[4:54] Speaker 4: wait real expectations the same amount of time.
[4:57] Speaker 3: So the fact that Ant twenty three and s soon
[5:00] Speaker 3: will be twenty seven, we like people are shocked when
[5:04] Speaker 3: they know, like SGA older than Luca, Like that doesn't
[5:08] Speaker 3: feel right because Luca was a prominent star immediately. So
[5:13] Speaker 3: I think there is a little too much and maybe
[5:17] Speaker 3: Ant skepticism right now because he hasn't now in back
[5:23] Speaker 3: to back conference finals come through, but he's it was
[5:27] Speaker 3: a testament to him that they got to these conference finals.
[5:30] Speaker 3: And at twenty three, SGA wasn't anything close to an
[5:34] Speaker 3: MVP candidate.
[5:35] Speaker 2: You know what he is, he's Lamar Jackson. The first
[5:38] Speaker 2: couple of years before Lamar, like Mahomes admitted in year three, Okay,
[5:42] Speaker 2: I'm good on the pre snap stuff. Now at one point,
[5:45] Speaker 2: you're just being an athlete. And then Mahomes goes, yeah,
[5:48] Speaker 2: middle of year three, if slowed down and I could
[5:50] Speaker 2: see stuff before it happened, but it in Mahomes is
[5:54] Speaker 2: cognitively really quick. And Russell Wilson admits, and Brady admits,
[5:58] Speaker 2: and that Ant is sort of the great young athlete quarterback.
[6:02] Speaker 2: Now Jayden Daniels total outlier. It's like he's got it
[6:05] Speaker 2: down now. But it's like and it's the quarterback like, man,
[6:08] Speaker 2: wait until he's great.
[6:10] Speaker 3: Prec until I know what I'm doing, right, until I
[6:13] Speaker 3: actually know what I'm doing, And so no, and listen
[6:18] Speaker 3: and obviously also have some maturing to do, I think
[6:21] Speaker 3: on and off the court. But he's twenty three, and
[6:25] Speaker 3: I think Shae is, you know, kind of wise beyond
[6:29] Speaker 3: his youth, the way he talks, and I so here
[6:33] Speaker 3: is I I thought Shaye was very clearly league's MVP
[6:37] Speaker 3: this year. I until the Lakers traded for Luca. I
[6:43] Speaker 3: thought pretty clearly all year Oklahoma City was the best team.
[6:46] Speaker 3: I want the Lakers trade for Luca. I thought they
[6:48] Speaker 3: could beat them. But the moment the Lakers got knocked out,
[6:54] Speaker 3: I said, I thought Oklahoma City was gonna win it,
[6:55] Speaker 3: and in my opinion Game four against the temborl they
[7:00] Speaker 3: won the championship. Like I think that, I think this
[7:02] Speaker 3: NBA season, I'm still excited for it, but the deciding
[7:07] Speaker 3: event has happened. I think the thunder are going to
[7:09] Speaker 3: win the title. The SGA stuff that where people push
[7:15] Speaker 3: back is it feels like he'd some of the flopping
[7:22] Speaker 3: about and foul stuff is unnecessary and it's just something guys.
[7:29] Speaker 3: We have seen other MVPs Embeid and most notably Harden
[7:33] Speaker 3: do this stuff. Nobody ever likes that. Like, that's not
[7:36] Speaker 3: picking on SGA, that is uh, it's something people don't like.
[7:41] Speaker 3: And people come back to me with, well, Nick, you
[7:43] Speaker 3: love Luca. Luca does not flop. Luca winds Luca if
[7:49] Speaker 3: he gets a call, he's angry he didn't get it sooner.
[7:51] Speaker 3: If he doesn't get a call, he's furious, But he
[7:54] Speaker 3: is trying to finish through contact. Shay is being a
[7:57] Speaker 3: little cagier. He almost never wins, but what he doesn't
[8:01] Speaker 3: need to because he's getting the calls. But listen, he
[8:05] Speaker 3: is a great, great player, and they're gonna win eighty
[8:11] Speaker 3: four games this year, maybe lose less than twenty, and
[8:15] Speaker 3: he's going to average north of thirty throughout. It's an
[8:18] Speaker 3: all time great season.
[8:19] Speaker 1: Yeah.
[8:19] Speaker 2: And I think the other thing, I don't know if
[8:22] Speaker 2: I told you this, I may have told Danny Parkins
[8:24] Speaker 2: this the advantage Oklahoma City has accumulating all these draft picks.
[8:30] Speaker 2: So I've always been a believer in baseball and NBA
[8:34] Speaker 2: just give away draft picks. It's the opposite in football,
[8:37] Speaker 2: because you're getting a twenty four year old and you
[8:39] Speaker 2: can get fifty to sixty percent that hit, and some
[8:41] Speaker 2: hit immediately, and they're grown men, and they're Jamar Chase
[8:43] Speaker 2: and to the second best receiver in the league within
[8:46] Speaker 2: a year.
[8:46] Speaker 3: And it's a hard cap and you need cheap.
[8:48] Speaker 2: Yeah, and so you get guys that come in and
[8:51] Speaker 2: not only are good Quentin Nelson guard. Coltz was like, oh,
[8:54] Speaker 2: is he the second best guard at twenty four? Doesn't
[8:57] Speaker 2: work that way in baseball. Even Bryce Harper go to
[9:00] Speaker 2: the minors. So you know, when I look at these
[9:03] Speaker 2: draft picks, here's an advantage. I'd be very reticent, very
[9:06] Speaker 2: reluctant if I was okay se to move off this group.
[9:10] Speaker 2: Not only are they good, but what is happening with NIL?
[9:14] Speaker 2: Players like Zach Edy are like, you must stay another
[9:17] Speaker 2: year European players. Now Illinois is going to have five
[9:23] Speaker 2: European starters. The Spanish leagues that have most of the
[9:26] Speaker 2: talent are thinking of shuddering. American colleges now NIL are
[9:32] Speaker 2: buying the best European players. What does that mean? College
[9:35] Speaker 2: basketball has been fortified over the last two years. The
[9:40] Speaker 2: quality of Florida playing Houston. You're like, oh, there's seven
[9:43] Speaker 2: NBA guys on these teams. The Yukon team two years ago,
[9:46] Speaker 2: like they had two guys make the All NBA Top
[9:49] Speaker 2: two to three teams. Zach Edy like comes in, he's
[9:52] Speaker 2: really dominant. We went through a twenty year stretch of
[9:55] Speaker 2: college basketball where Doug McDermott won College Player of the
[9:58] Speaker 2: Year and is the night player on a good team's roster. Garza,
[10:04] Speaker 2: you know it was a Luca Garza. Tyler Hansborough. We
[10:08] Speaker 2: are now moving back because players are first of all,
[10:11] Speaker 2: not going to the G League as often staying in
[10:15] Speaker 2: college and other poaching European players. Those draft picks now
[10:21] Speaker 2: they're gonna be a much higher percentage of them that
[10:24] Speaker 2: hit and can play early.
[10:28] Speaker 1: Well.
[10:28] Speaker 3: So here's the other thing where they do. So if
[10:31] Speaker 3: you dive into Oklahoma City's pick bounty, and it is
[10:35] Speaker 3: a ton of picks when you look at it, none
[10:39] Speaker 3: of them really project out to be top five picks,
[10:43] Speaker 3: but it's going to be a lot of Like they
[10:44] Speaker 3: got the ninth thing out, the fourteenth, they got the seventeenth,
[10:47] Speaker 3: all that stuff. Here's and they already did this once
[10:51] Speaker 3: with this guy I don't know anything about, but his
[10:52] Speaker 3: name's Topicch who stayed in Europe. They drafted him a
[10:56] Speaker 3: year or two ago and he should come over next year.
[10:59] Speaker 3: What they will be able to do is draft international
[11:05] Speaker 3: guys who say, hey, you can draft me, but I'm
[11:08] Speaker 3: not coming over for a couple years. And I think
[11:11] Speaker 3: they will be totally fine with that because they don't
[11:14] Speaker 3: have enough space on their roster right now. They don't
[11:17] Speaker 3: need guys to come in and play immediately. And the
[11:20] Speaker 3: point you're making is they can instead of drafting the
[11:24] Speaker 3: nineteen year old who people hope in four years is
[11:28] Speaker 3: going to be really good, they might take more of
[11:32] Speaker 3: the approach of we're gonna draft the senior who can
[11:35] Speaker 3: give us eight minutes a night in year one, and
[11:38] Speaker 3: that's useful. And listen, Presty's done a great job drafting.
[11:42] Speaker 3: Where I would caution everyone is of the last five
[11:49] Speaker 3: NBA champions, four of them. The moment they were winning
[11:54] Speaker 3: the championship, we were all pretty convinced they were going
[11:58] Speaker 3: to win a bunch and none of them have even
[12:01] Speaker 3: made around them. The Lakers when they won in the bubble,
[12:05] Speaker 3: it was like, well, Lebron is still the best player
[12:08] Speaker 3: in the world, Anthony Davis has gotten to a new
[12:10] Speaker 3: next level there, how are they they? I guess the
[12:13] Speaker 3: Lakers have gone Denver, Boston, but that right, so exactly
[12:18] Speaker 3: Milwaukee the next year. Holy shit, Yiannis put it all together.
[12:21] Speaker 3: They traded for Holiday. They're obviously gonna be dominant. They
[12:24] Speaker 3: have been back to round three. Golden State was different
[12:28] Speaker 3: because Golden State we looked at it as the end
[12:30] Speaker 3: of a run like they already had their championships. Certainly
[12:34] Speaker 3: Denver we were like, okay, it's the Yo Kajira. All year
[12:40] Speaker 3: people thought, well, Boston's the best team, and now I
[12:43] Speaker 3: can see it happening again with Okac, where people are
[12:46] Speaker 3: gonna be like, who's gonna stop them? Is what is
[12:50] Speaker 3: remarkable is that Okac has gotten back to this point
[12:55] Speaker 3: that last night or the game four, uh Shae j
[13:01] Speaker 3: Dub and Chet combined for ninety five points. Collin ninety
[13:06] Speaker 3: four was the high water mark for Katie, Russ and
[13:09] Speaker 3: Harden together and you know that team was there. I
[13:14] Speaker 3: think Katie was better than Shay I.
[13:16] Speaker 2: You know those guys, those guys now in the rear
[13:19] Speaker 2: view mirror are really flawed, like Harden and Westbrook need the.
[13:25] Speaker 1: Ball, like Honger, Round doesn't.
[13:27] Speaker 3: Doesn't fit as well. No, these three guys better. Those
[13:32] Speaker 3: three guys are a higher talent. But if we like
[13:35] Speaker 3: that team when they were all twenty three or younger,
[13:40] Speaker 3: made the finals one game one of those finals against
[13:45] Speaker 3: Lebron's Heat, they were favorites going into the finals, big
[13:48] Speaker 3: favorites after game one, and that franchise has not been
[13:52] Speaker 3: in the finals again since it has not won another
[13:55] Speaker 3: finals game. Now, I think they're gonna win the championship.
[13:58] Speaker 3: I just you know, I would pump the breaks on
[14:03] Speaker 3: anyone saying this is you know that this is about
[14:06] Speaker 3: to be the Oklahoma City era. I just feel like
[14:09] Speaker 3: we feel in the moment right after an NBA team
[14:12] Speaker 3: wins a title, we're always like, well, they're just gonna
[14:15] Speaker 3: keep winning titles. That hasn't that's not what the last
[14:18] Speaker 3: decade has been.
[14:19] Speaker 2: Well, Holmgren could get hurt at some point, Jalen Williams
[14:23] Speaker 2: will want to get paid.
[14:24] Speaker 1: You're not gonna keep.
[14:25] Speaker 3: Well, that's the problem is the getting paid. The problem
[14:28] Speaker 3: is is Oklahoma City, which has never paid the luxury tax,
[14:31] Speaker 3: they're about to have to pay Shay a million dollars
[14:33] Speaker 3: a game. Like that's what it's coming and so that.
[14:38] Speaker 3: But right now, in the moment, it's an all. They
[14:40] Speaker 3: won sixty eight games, and I don't think they're I
[14:44] Speaker 3: think the last adversity they they're gonna face for the
[14:48] Speaker 3: season they faced in Game four and they came through.
[14:52] Speaker 2: The NBA Finals are almost here and every play could
[14:55] Speaker 2: be the one that changes everything. This is the NBA Playoffs.

[16:17] Speaker 1: bmw The Ultimate Driving Machine. I love mine.
[16:20] Speaker 2: This week it's SGA electric Play is leading the Thunder
[16:23] Speaker 2: to a three to one lead over the te Wolves
[16:25] Speaker 2: in Game four. Yet forty points, ten assists, nine rebounds,
[16:28] Speaker 2: he does everything okay see is one win from its
[16:31] Speaker 2: first final appearance in thirteen years. So what is it
[16:35] Speaker 2: that sets apart these power players from the rest. Bottom line,
[16:38] Speaker 2: it's their attention to detail, innovative playing styles, relentless drive
[16:42] Speaker 2: for performing at the highest level. The same goes for
[16:44] Speaker 2: my BMWIX. Everything you love about the Ultimate Driving Machine Electrified.
[16:50] Speaker 2: This is something I thought about years and years ago.
[16:54] Speaker 2: This may have been fifteen years ago. Sports fans I
[16:57] Speaker 2: think are more savvy today than ever, and a lot
[16:59] Speaker 2: of it it's just because of the explosion of social media,
[17:03] Speaker 2: and they can you can learn things. Just wash them TikTok.
[17:05] Speaker 2: I mean, I use the TikTok store every day. And
[17:09] Speaker 2: by the way, it's never let me down. I buy
[17:11] Speaker 2: power bars, I buy workout gear. It's never let me down.
[17:15] Speaker 2: The TikTok store is completely undervalued. You'd think that's yeah.
[17:19] Speaker 2: The first time I used that, I'm like, yes, sketchy,
[17:21] Speaker 2: I'm probably getting robbed. It's twenty four dollars. It's fantastic.
[17:25] Speaker 2: Everything I buy in the TikTok store is amazing. That's
[17:28] Speaker 2: not an ad. I just I bought power bars today. So,
[17:33] Speaker 2: but I was thinking. Years ago, I did a topic
[17:35] Speaker 2: where I said, this is when I would take calls.
[17:37] Speaker 2: I was only doing a radio show. I said, you
[17:40] Speaker 2: guys don't understand Madonna was in her prime. I said,
[17:43] Speaker 2: is much more well known than Derek Jeter in his prime.
[17:46] Speaker 2: It's not close. One's a global star. I got thirty calls.
[17:50] Speaker 1: In a row.
[17:51] Speaker 3: No way, Derek.
[17:53] Speaker 1: I'm like Derek.
[17:55] Speaker 2: The brand of the Yankees is bigger than Derek Jeter.
[17:58] Speaker 2: Like Derek Jeter is not the if you play in
[18:00] Speaker 2: Kansas City, he'd just be an All Star. Sports fans
[18:04] Speaker 2: they struggle sometimes with like recognizing that nobody knows who
[18:08] Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is out of America unless you're a sports fan.
[18:11] Speaker 2: Your sister who doesn't love sports, doesn't know who Jalen
[18:14] Speaker 2: Hurts is. Even after the Super Bowl, she's heard of
[18:16] Speaker 2: maybe the Tush push, but that's about it. And I
[18:20] Speaker 2: was thinking about this, how many NBA players and I
[18:24] Speaker 2: know Caitlin Clark is an athlete, but how she's like
[18:27] Speaker 2: beyond that now she kind of transcends sports. She's like,
[18:30] Speaker 2: it's it's racial, it's political, it's polarizing, it's it's a
[18:33] Speaker 2: lot of things. How many NBA players are more famous
[18:37] Speaker 2: than Caitlin Clark Lebron's Steph Absolutely.
[18:41] Speaker 1: Is kay maybe Durrect That's what I put. I said, I.
[18:44] Speaker 2: Wrote down k d maybe in one year out of
[18:49] Speaker 2: women's basketball for a horrible team when she arrived. Outside
[18:54] Speaker 2: of Lebron and Steph, she is the most well known
[18:57] Speaker 2: basketball player currently playing in the United States.
[19:02] Speaker 3: Oh yes, And I don't think that's close. Like I
[19:08] Speaker 3: I think I might have said this to you last
[19:10] Speaker 3: year that I thought the most famous basketball player under
[19:16] Speaker 3: thirty was Kitlyn Clark, and it's, like you said, I
[19:22] Speaker 3: don't think it's particularly close. Like when the she is
[19:27] Speaker 3: demonstrably and inarguably more famous than all of this generation's
[19:34] Speaker 3: NBA stars, she just is like it it really Lebron
[19:39] Speaker 3: is I don't know, probably one of the twenty most
[19:42] Speaker 3: famous people in the world. At a secondary level, there
[19:46] Speaker 3: is Steph and at a far different level, there is Durant,
[19:51] Speaker 3: And the next basketball person, like active basketball person, is
[19:58] Speaker 3: Caitlyn Clark. Like the the it's I don't even I
[20:03] Speaker 3: don't think that's a hot take. I don't think that's controversial.
[20:06] Speaker 3: I think that's just obvious. And I think that it
[20:09] Speaker 3: is awesome for the sport, and I think that it
[20:14] Speaker 3: is awesome for sports fans, and it it is what
[20:19] Speaker 3: I think some people need to be Okay, like this
[20:24] Speaker 3: is this is apples and oranges, but not exactly and
[20:30] Speaker 3: this is not a fair comparison. But just the audience
[20:33] Speaker 3: is smart, they'll figure it out. I think it's probable
[20:37] Speaker 3: that Lonzo I'm sorry that LaMelo Ball is more famous
[20:42] Speaker 3: than Tyrese Hallibah. He is. No one with a brain
[20:46] Speaker 3: thinks he's better than tyre famous. Now you agree, So
[20:52] Speaker 3: I think sometimes like diehard WNBA or women's basketball fans
[20:57] Speaker 3: conflate the discussion about fame in popularity with a ranking
[21:02] Speaker 3: of players. Right now, Caitlin Clark is to me, I mean,
[21:07] Speaker 3: she was first team All WNBA last year. She has
[21:10] Speaker 3: a legitimate argument that she's a top five player in
[21:13] Speaker 3: the league, and before this injury, probably was going to
[21:16] Speaker 3: make a real case to win League MVP this year.
[21:19] Speaker 3: But if someone's like, hey, I watch I have WNBA
[21:23] Speaker 3: league pass. I watched the whole league, guy have for years.
[21:26] Speaker 3: I think she is currently the seventh best player in
[21:28] Speaker 3: the league, I'd listened to him like, okay, maybe like
[21:31] Speaker 3: you know, the Brandon Stewart, Asia Wilson, like whomever. But
[21:36] Speaker 3: that's not the discussion that now. It is also important
[21:41] Speaker 3: that your fame not lap your ability. Again, not to
[21:46] Speaker 3: like I'm just thinking because we're talking about wmen's sports.
[21:49] Speaker 3: An example of that to me would be like this
[21:51] Speaker 3: would make me feel old. But on a corner, Coche.
[21:55] Speaker 3: Remember so she was at a time the most famous
[21:57] Speaker 3: women's tennis player, and I think she was during a
[22:01] Speaker 3: lot of that time, not one of the twenty best.
[22:03] Speaker 3: She you know her, Yeah, she was more famous, far
[22:07] Speaker 3: more famous than she was successful. But it's quite often
[22:12] Speaker 3: that your fame lags your ability, as I think happens
[22:16] Speaker 3: to Nikola Yovich, you know, as an example, And it
[22:21] Speaker 3: is also often that your fame, you know, is a
[22:23] Speaker 3: few steps ahead of your ability. When it is a
[22:27] Speaker 3: super nova moment is when your fame when you are
[22:32] Speaker 3: the most famous and you're the best, like that happened
[22:36] Speaker 3: that that was Lebron with the NBA. Obviously Jordan Kobe,
[22:42] Speaker 3: you know, at least was close to the best and
[22:44] Speaker 3: not the best for a brief period. And it's what
[22:47] Speaker 3: I is going to happen, I believe with Caitlin Clark,
[22:50] Speaker 3: because I do think she will have a period where
[22:53] Speaker 3: she is clearly the best player in the league. And
[22:55] Speaker 3: again it could happen sooner than later. But it's it
[22:59] Speaker 3: is so great for the sport because it she is
[23:05] Speaker 3: someone that people show up to the party because of her.
[23:10] Speaker 3: And where I give the evolution of the WNBA and
[23:14] Speaker 3: women's basketball credit is I think people show up to
[23:16] Speaker 3: the party, whether it's for the women's NCAA tournament or
[23:20] Speaker 3: the WNBA and they're like, Oh, this party's pretty good.
[23:24] Speaker 1: I like it.
[23:26] Speaker 3: There's a level of physicality in this sport that isn't necessarily.
[23:31] Speaker 2: Because they're not vertical, so they're banging into each other.
[23:34] Speaker 2: It's a very physical league, exactly right.
[23:38] Speaker 3: And so I think that if you if you have
[23:42] Speaker 3: a good product and your biggest hurdle is getting people
[23:47] Speaker 3: to sample the product, she's a gonsend. There's there's no
[23:51] Speaker 3: denying it. And and again there's obviously there's a lot
[23:56] Speaker 3: of complicated components to it, but just because something has
[24:00] Speaker 3: complicated components doesn't mean every discussion about it has to
[24:04] Speaker 3: be complicated. And you know, you can just be like,
[24:07] Speaker 3: she is a super nova fame, a level of fame
[24:12] Speaker 3: with one of a kind talent, and it is game
[24:16] Speaker 3: changing for the.
[24:17] Speaker 2: Entire And also she had a rivalry with a star
[24:20] Speaker 2: college player in college, so we have a visceral connection,
[24:24] Speaker 2: which college basketball no longer gives you. It's what football
[24:28] Speaker 2: gives you all the time. Where you know JJ McCarthy,
[24:31] Speaker 2: You're like, oh, I mean you see all these Buckeyes
[24:33] Speaker 2: in Michigan Wolverines. When I think JJ McCarthy, I think Michigan.
[24:37] Speaker 2: I don't think pro football player. I want to go
[24:39] Speaker 2: to Baker Mayfield. I thought you had an interesting somebody
[24:43] Speaker 2: once in the last year asked Baker Mayfield about me
[24:46] Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, and he said, well, we're frenemies,
[24:49] Speaker 2: and I think Baker knows I like him and respect him,
[24:51] Speaker 2: and he's always been nice to me.
[24:52] Speaker 1: He said nice things publicly.
[24:54] Speaker 2: You had to take the other day that he's actually
[24:56] Speaker 2: he was over discussed when he was in Cleveland. He's
[24:58] Speaker 2: now under discussed, and it's it's funny because I think
[25:01] Speaker 2: Baker's better than Dak.
[25:03] Speaker 1: He's better than Tua.
[25:04] Speaker 2: He's better than Gino, He's better than Aaron, He's better
[25:06] Speaker 2: than Russell, He's better than cousins. I think he and
[25:08] Speaker 2: Darnold are very similar that they can be mistake prone,
[25:11] Speaker 2: but they can plan it and they're real players.
[25:13] Speaker 3: Forty touchdowns. Yes, no, but he's been really good. Yeah.
[25:17] Speaker 2: No. Baker is a prime example. You see this a
[25:20] Speaker 2: lot in the NBA, where a guy comes in and
[25:23] Speaker 2: he just needs the mature aunt Edwards. In the NFL, generally,
[25:27] Speaker 2: maturity is not the issue. It's you either have it
[25:29] Speaker 2: or you don't. Baker was the rare lot of testosterone,
[25:33] Speaker 2: a lot of confidence, and I felt like, can somebody
[25:36] Speaker 2: turn the governor down just a little. He was Johnny Manziel,
[25:40] Speaker 2: but more likable and with actual talent. He could really
[25:44] Speaker 2: throw a football. But I think Baker is the rare
[25:47] Speaker 2: NFL player in quarterback. You're like one of the talents. Inarguable,
[25:52] Speaker 2: he's just got to turn the governor down. Cleveland was
[25:55] Speaker 2: not built for Baker. You go to a great GM,
[25:59] Speaker 2: a talented roster in Tampa, which is by the way,
[26:01] Speaker 2: below the radar. It's in the NFC South, which is
[26:04] Speaker 2: a low profile division. Baker now is absolutely under discussed.
[26:08] Speaker 2: He is a really good NFL quarterback. I don't think
[26:11] Speaker 2: that's disputable.
[26:13] Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's hard to make a top ten
[26:15] Speaker 3: and not include him. And then when you add to
[26:18] Speaker 3: the fact that he makes around sixty percent of what
[26:25] Speaker 3: the other guys in that top ten make, his value
[26:28] Speaker 3: is massive. He for a guy who dealt with injuries
[26:33] Speaker 3: during in his time in Cleveland, He's incredibly durable. His
[26:38] Speaker 3: teammates love him, and he now has back to back
[26:41] Speaker 3: years of really high productivity, a playoff quarterback, win the
[26:47] Speaker 3: division again forty touchdowns last year. I and so, yeah,
[26:52] Speaker 3: I think that there was because he was talked about
[26:57] Speaker 3: so much when he wasn't yet that good. I think
[27:01] Speaker 3: people got I don't know if numbs the right word,
[27:05] Speaker 3: but they were just kind of got over him. And
[27:07] Speaker 3: now that he is I think really good people are
[27:12] Speaker 3: just like, Okay, yeah, that's Baker, like he's a people
[27:15] Speaker 3: I think boxed him in. He's a good story and
[27:19] Speaker 3: that is true, but he's more than that at this point.
[27:23] Speaker 3: At this point, like, do I this is you know,
[27:27] Speaker 3: a third rail for some Do I think he's better
[27:31] Speaker 3: than Brock Birdie? Would I rather have? Like? And so
[27:35] Speaker 3: you said, Dak Prescott, I think that's close. I think
[27:39] Speaker 3: that there is there are a lot of quarterbacks that
[27:43] Speaker 3: like I'll give you a great example. Now, this guy's
[27:45] Speaker 3: young and we'll see, but he makes a lot of money.
[27:50] Speaker 3: I think he's pretty clearly better than Jordan Love. And
[27:53] Speaker 3: I think that Jordan Love is discussed like he is.
[28:00] Speaker 2: Thing. So I was really not anti Jordan Love, but
[28:03] Speaker 2: I but I had said for two years there is
[28:05] Speaker 2: more footage of Bigfoot than Jordan Love. They're hiding him
[28:08] Speaker 2: for a reason. Then he came out and he was
[28:10] Speaker 2: kind of sensational, and I really bought into him. And
[28:14] Speaker 2: then it's as if the league defensive coordinators got all
[28:17] Speaker 2: this footage and they found holes. And at the end
[28:21] Speaker 2: of last year, you're like, oh, people have caught on
[28:24] Speaker 2: to him. This is and now it would be a
[28:26] Speaker 2: sophomore slump for anybody else, but he was like in
[28:28] Speaker 2: his fourth year in fifth years, and so I want
[28:31] Speaker 2: to see him. So now it's like an NBA playoff series,
[28:34] Speaker 2: like you get worked, then you change things and that
[28:38] Speaker 2: there's stages and coaching, you know, adaptations.
[28:43] Speaker 3: To a playoff ser adjustment. Yeah.
[28:45] Speaker 2: So now I've seen Jordan shock the league. Now I've
[28:48] Speaker 2: seen people react and he struggles. Now I want to
[28:51] Speaker 2: see his next hand with Matt Lafleur. That's why they
[28:54] Speaker 2: drafted to me a g a receiver in the first round,
[28:56] Speaker 2: because they're like, listen, we he may need a little
[28:58] Speaker 2: more help than we think here. But I I so,
[29:02] Speaker 2: I'm not sure Baker's better. I think Jordan's got a
[29:04] Speaker 2: hell of a whip and he's a really good athlete.
[29:06] Speaker 2: But he's He's one of the last quarterbacks in this league.
[29:09] Speaker 3: Jordan Love.
[29:10] Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I know who's bad, I know who's good.
[29:13] Speaker 2: I know who's pretty good. Jordan Love is the last.
[29:17] Speaker 2: I'm not really sure what he is in the league
[29:20] Speaker 2: to me, I.
[29:22] Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw another guy that I'm not. I think
[29:24] Speaker 3: this guy's really good, but I'm gonna put the not sure,
[29:28] Speaker 3: and that's CJ. I think that I think CJ's certainly good.
[29:34] Speaker 3: That it is there are some I think it is
[29:39] Speaker 3: hard in the modern NFL to be really good if
[29:45] Speaker 3: you hate running, you don't, you know what I mean.
[29:48] Speaker 3: And and now, like I'm sure CJ, especially because he's
[29:52] Speaker 3: black quarterback, like was probably you know, felt pressure like
[29:56] Speaker 3: to prove to everyone like I'm I'm not you know
[29:59] Speaker 3: what I I mean, I'm not a running back with
[30:01] Speaker 3: that also play in the position. I'm a true prototypical
[30:04] Speaker 3: pocket passer. The problem with that is that position it's
[30:09] Speaker 3: not extinct, but it is the just the Matt Stafford,
[30:13] Speaker 3: Jared Goff, Joe Burrow style is it's just a hard
[30:18] Speaker 3: way to make a living. And it doesn't mean you
[30:22] Speaker 3: have to be you know one read and then take
[30:25] Speaker 3: off and run. But it's a nice pitch to have,
[30:28] Speaker 3: particularly come the playoffs. And I thought CJ in the
[30:32] Speaker 3: playoffs last year actually went to it a little more
[30:35] Speaker 3: and so that was a good sign. But I just
[30:37] Speaker 3: want to see a little more from him. But yeah,
[30:40] Speaker 3: I think in general, we usually know who these guys are,
[30:45] Speaker 3: and then there are guys who like this is the
[30:48] Speaker 3: thing that I would say about guys like Donald or Gino.
[30:53] Speaker 3: I don't think Darnald's a weird one for you because
[30:56] Speaker 3: you always saw this really good player. But I think
[31:00] Speaker 3: people that said like those guys were not good potentially
[31:08] Speaker 3: were correct, and then those guys, through hard work and
[31:12] Speaker 3: maturation and learning and getting older, got good like I,
[31:16] Speaker 3: you know what I and so like the I think
[31:18] Speaker 3: that a guy like Gino, I think Gino was probably
[31:24] Speaker 3: rightfully a you know, lower tier backup early and then
[31:28] Speaker 3: worked his ass off, got better, learned more, and became
[31:33] Speaker 3: this player. But yeah, I think most of the quarterbacks
[31:37] Speaker 3: we know, we know about who they are. The one
[31:42] Speaker 3: one I'll throw another one at you that to me
[31:44] Speaker 3: is the most confusing or most intriguing, and that's Herbert,
[31:48] Speaker 3: Because Herbert, it's there is no there is no question
[31:52] Speaker 3: how talented he is. But five years into your career,
[31:57] Speaker 3: you need more than just he's throws an amazing ball.
[32:01] Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of quarterbacks who five years
[32:06] Speaker 3: into their career who ended up being amazing who five
[32:09] Speaker 3: years into their career hadn't accomplished anything, and he's on that. Yeah.
[32:14] Speaker 2: No, he his first two head coaches though, Dean Spanos
[32:18] Speaker 2: until Harbaugh never paid money for a coach, so his
[32:20] Speaker 2: first two coaches were a miss. So I do think
[32:23] Speaker 2: he's a rare. Circumstantially, I think he's a rare. I
[32:27] Speaker 2: think the people in the league that I know all
[32:29] Speaker 2: love him. He was also the justin Herbert criticism is fair.
[32:33] Speaker 2: He was mechanical on film. People thought he was mechanical.
[32:37] Speaker 2: Tom Telesco, who drafted him, said we thought he was mechanical.
[32:39] Speaker 2: Then I went and watched him in person and I
[32:41] Speaker 2: saw him play the best Iowa, best Wisconsin defense of
[32:44] Speaker 2: all time and went, oh, Okay, he's not that mechanical. Hey,
[32:49] Speaker 2: So we all make mistakes, but owning up to them
[32:51] Speaker 2: is the right thing to do. So you know degree
[32:53] Speaker 2: cool Rush deodorant right, Well, last year they changed the
[32:56] Speaker 2: formula and it did not go over well with their fans.
[32:59] Speaker 2: So Degree the whole thing is, it turns up the
[33:01] Speaker 2: sweat and odor protection when you turn up the effort,
[33:04] Speaker 2: and good thing it does, because cool Rush fans really
[33:07] Speaker 2: turned up the effort to bring the original formula back
[33:09] Speaker 2: one guy even started an online petition and Degree listened.
[33:12] Speaker 2: They admitted they fed up. They're bringing back the original
[33:15] Speaker 2: cool Rush scent. They're bringing it back and it's exactly
[33:17] Speaker 2: how you remember it, cool, crisp and fresh. It's back
[33:19] Speaker 2: in Walmart, Target and other stores now for under four dollars.
[33:23] Speaker 2: There's a reason that's been the number one men's anti
[33:25] Speaker 2: perspert for the last decade. It's the same reason why
[33:27] Speaker 2: people were not happy when it changed. So if you've
[33:30] Speaker 2: never tried it, it might be a good time to
[33:31] Speaker 2: see what the fuss is about. Head to your local
[33:33] Speaker 2: Walmart Target and try the og degree cool Rush for yourself.
[33:46] Speaker 2: But he can be sort of a rhythm quarterback when
[33:50] Speaker 2: he gets out of rhythm. You know, I've said this
[33:53] Speaker 2: about certain players are like the pacers are a rhythm offense.
[33:58] Speaker 2: Haliburton leaves for four and a half half minutes, they
[34:00] Speaker 2: can't get the rhythm back, Like it's like, oh, it
[34:02] Speaker 2: just doesn't work. Like Herbert's a rhythm thrower. Like he
[34:05] Speaker 2: gets into a rhythm and if you bang him, or
[34:08] Speaker 2: he gets sacked or or a receiver drops it, he
[34:11] Speaker 2: can get out of rhythm. A lot of quarterbacks, aren't
[34:13] Speaker 2: They just they just pick it up, they go. So
[34:15] Speaker 2: I think the criticism of Herbert are fair. But he's six',
[34:18] Speaker 2: five a four to two biology major with a huge.
[34:21] Speaker 3: ARM i, mean he's super, smart he's super. Athletic he
[34:25] Speaker 3: could run. More he did a little more under, hardball
[34:28] Speaker 3: like he in. College he ran the hell out of
[34:31] Speaker 3: the ball when they needed. To here would be kind
[34:35] Speaker 3: of a CONCERN i. Have that is really just a
[34:39] Speaker 3: kernel of a BELIEF i have about, sports which is
[34:44] Speaker 3: particularly for the most scrutinized. Positions so best player on
[34:49] Speaker 3: AN nba, team quarterback on a football. Team the randomness
[34:55] Speaker 3: of your first couple times in a big spot casts
[35:02] Speaker 3: the longest shadow imaginable over your. Career and So i'll
[35:09] Speaker 3: use a basketball, example then a couple football. Examples the
[35:13] Speaker 3: fact That kobe as a teenager basically was a, champion
[35:20] Speaker 3: and that, Listen kobe was unbelievable on the second two
[35:24] Speaker 3: championships With, Shaq but that first championship With, shaq he
[35:27] Speaker 3: was a role player and it was Peak shaquille. O'Neill
[35:31] Speaker 3: but before he can is old enough to, drink he's a.
[35:35] Speaker 3: Champion no one is ever going to be able to
[35:38] Speaker 3: be Like can he can you win a ring With Kobe,
[35:41] Speaker 3: bryant and that gave, him in my, opinion the freedom
[35:45] Speaker 3: to be, Like i'll take every fucking into game. Shot
[35:48] Speaker 3: no one can ever say anything bad about, me, Right
[35:51] Speaker 3: and so it had a real. IMPACT i do. THINK
[35:56] Speaker 3: i Think Tom brady is one of the greatest athletes
[36:00] Speaker 3: of all time and obviously has the greatest resume of
[36:03] Speaker 3: any quarterback. EVER i also wonder if they simply hadn't you,
[36:11] Speaker 3: KNOW i won't even do the the tuck rule. Game
[36:15] Speaker 3: if in.
[36:17] Speaker 1: That First Super bowls.
[36:23] Speaker 3: Missus the field goal or he makes one bad read
[36:28] Speaker 3: or whatever it, is and they don't win, there then
[36:31] Speaker 3: does he have like the freedom to be him in
[36:37] Speaker 3: those moments moving? FORWARD i think THAT i THINK i
[36:41] Speaker 3: think there is a chance that we are talking About
[36:43] Speaker 3: Russell wilson the way we talk About Terry bradshaw if
[36:48] Speaker 3: he doesn't throw The Malcolm butler, pick BECAUSE i think
[36:51] Speaker 3: if they would have won That Super bowl and he
[36:53] Speaker 3: really believes Like i'm ordained By god to do, this
[36:57] Speaker 3: that it then led to itself and.
[36:59] Speaker 2: Go up, no, No and by losing That Super bowl and
[37:02] Speaker 2: throwing that, pick it eroded the chemistry in the locker,
[37:05] Speaker 2: room and it was never the same off one.
[37:07] Speaker 3: Play AND i think it eroded for. Him this feeling
[37:12] Speaker 3: of this is meant to be the flip side to
[37:15] Speaker 3: those To brady or To. Kobe example Is. Peyton So
[37:22] Speaker 3: peyton early in his career came up short in a
[37:25] Speaker 3: couple of big spots and then it just the weight
[37:29] Speaker 3: got bigger and, bigger and he got That moniker even
[37:33] Speaker 3: though he's a challenged any football Player i've ever. Seen
[37:36] Speaker 3: so the REASON i bring that up IS I i
[37:41] Speaker 3: worry that For, herbert he is going to walk into
[37:47] Speaker 3: his next playoff game with the weight of the world
[37:52] Speaker 3: on his. Shoulders he's gonna be Like i've been. HERE
[37:55] Speaker 3: i basically played two real and one de facto playoff.
[37:58] Speaker 3: Game to the facto was the week Eighteen Chargers. Raiders
[38:03] Speaker 3: remember that were like a. Tie you both go to
[38:05] Speaker 3: the playoffs and The raiders steal it at the end
[38:10] Speaker 3: we blew a four score lead to The. Jags AND
[38:13] Speaker 3: i threw four picks in my other playoff, game and
[38:19] Speaker 3: it just it is so it's so flee yes what
[38:26] Speaker 3: that you know what those can? Be and so that
[38:29] Speaker 3: is to me like a real and Something i'm excited
[38:33] Speaker 3: to see moving because you've seen how it's worn On
[38:36] Speaker 3: lamar and you see the freedom mahomes. Place, Yeah mom's,
[38:40] Speaker 3: like nobody can ever call me anything but, clutch and
[38:43] Speaker 3: he can play it.
[38:44] Speaker 2: Well lamar now is feeling the. Pressure you can See
[38:47] Speaker 2: lamar in playoff games as. TIGHT i think eventually the
[38:51] Speaker 2: failures of The chargers and The spanos family to get
[38:55] Speaker 2: the right coach got them to pay fifteen million dollars
[38:57] Speaker 2: a year For, harbass so he has his. Kingmaker AND
[39:00] Speaker 2: i also think it Takes this is something that people
[39:05] Speaker 2: don't really understand. THIS i think we tend, men at
[39:09] Speaker 2: least In, america tend to worship other men and we
[39:14] Speaker 2: just forget. That Michael jordan for years didn't do shit Without,
[39:17] Speaker 2: pippen and at the end it was pathetic In, washington
[39:21] Speaker 2: but it's six for six and he's the greatest. Ever
[39:23] Speaker 2: and he failed at baseball And michael Got Phil jackson
[39:25] Speaker 2: And Scottie pippen and everything. Changed he was just kind
[39:28] Speaker 2: of a ballhog who couldn't get Past, boston he couldn't
[39:33] Speaker 2: get Past. Detroit it didn't get along with a lot
[39:36] Speaker 2: of teammates early In chicago Or, Layton, washington and even
[39:39] Speaker 2: when he was with The.
[39:40] Speaker 1: Bulls he was. Hard in the Documentary Tom cruise a great.
[39:45] Speaker 2: Example So Tom cruise goes into high school play and
[39:49] Speaker 2: a year later he's in the, movies and not long
[39:52] Speaker 2: after that he's in a risky business and that really defines.
[39:56] Speaker 2: HIM i, mean ray banned, sales, exploded you, know from
[40:00] Speaker 2: the underwear, scene in risky. Business So tom had absolute.
[40:03] Speaker 2: Talent but if you go back and look At Tom,
[40:07] Speaker 2: cruise who is as, driven wilful and obsessed about movies as,
[40:11] Speaker 2: anybody it wasn't until his last five to six movies
[40:16] Speaker 2: where he finally came to terms With i'm just.
[40:19] Speaker 1: Going to run a lot and do action. Movies and
[40:20] Speaker 1: they all.
[40:21] Speaker 2: Hit and his last five to six movies have been massive.
[40:24] Speaker 2: Hits he Did rock Of, Ages Eyes Wide, Shut Vanilla,
[40:29] Speaker 2: sky who some people really, Like i've never seen. It
[40:32] Speaker 2: he had lots of. Missus Marlon brando had lots of.
[40:36] Speaker 2: Misses so think how long it took for finally finally
[40:41] Speaker 2: A Bradley cooper to find the right, director Or Tom
[40:45] Speaker 2: cruise to find the right. Vehicle he was always, talented
[40:50] Speaker 2: but Like, herbert he needs his, hardball and that's WHAT
[40:54] Speaker 2: i think we tend to forget is That Michael jordan
[40:58] Speaker 2: Had Doug collins and Stan, olbrick but No Scottie. Pippat
[41:01] Speaker 2: he couldn't win a playoff.
[41:03] Speaker 1: Series none of. Them so you just need so much.
[41:08] Speaker 1: Help and that's you, know when anybody will ever ask.
[41:11] Speaker 2: Me you know, about oh, gosh how do you Think
[41:14] Speaker 2: you've done it for thirty years and you have been doing?
[41:16] Speaker 1: This AND i, Say i've had great. Help i've had
[41:19] Speaker 1: really good.
[41:19] Speaker 2: Bosses i've had a couple, stinkers but Overwhelmingly i've had
[41:23] Speaker 2: really good support and really good agents and really good.
[41:25] Speaker 2: BOSSES i would have been somewhat. Successful but the point
[41:28] Speaker 2: being is if you find a great stockbroker or, YOUTH
[41:31] Speaker 2: i Mean, obama he has, somewhere he's got a kingmaker behind,
[41:34] Speaker 2: him you, know somebody behind him believed in, him and
[41:38] Speaker 2: we just forget that in sports and That mahomes would
[41:41] Speaker 2: have been. Successful But Brett veach And Andy reid are
[41:44] Speaker 2: a big part part of.
[41:46] Speaker 3: It oh, yeah, well well the, yeah and that it's
[41:49] Speaker 3: also one of the reasons THAT i find THE i
[41:55] Speaker 3: find it really fun but also frustrating at times when
[42:01] Speaker 3: we trying to parse individual credit for team sports success
[42:09] Speaker 3: is one of the most fun things about our. Business
[42:12] Speaker 3: and it's also why a guy you AND i see.
[42:15] Speaker 3: Similarly but is you know one of the more, polarizing
[42:18] Speaker 3: if you, will quarterbacks is so interesting in party because
[42:23] Speaker 3: there is it's so much of all, right is? It are?
[42:28] Speaker 3: We you? Know LIKE i argue With wild's about. It
[42:31] Speaker 3: wild's basically his take is THAT i believe when The niners,
[42:35] Speaker 3: Win shanahan, won and when they, lose party, loss like
[42:39] Speaker 3: is you know that The shanahan gets the credit and
[42:42] Speaker 3: doesn't get the? Blame and my my actual take is
[42:48] Speaker 3: THAT i think that there is there are a lot
[42:52] Speaker 3: of factors that have gone into why a quarterback who
[42:58] Speaker 3: everyone in the, league including The, niners thought was not that,
[43:03] Speaker 3: good has had statistically one of the three or four
[43:08] Speaker 3: greatest starts to a career in the history of the.
[43:10] Speaker 3: SPORT I i understand there are. MISSES i get. IT
[43:15] Speaker 3: i Know brady went one ninety. NINE i understand all.
[43:18] Speaker 3: That BUT i when people with purty people will, say
[43:23] Speaker 3: you would feel differently if he were the number one,
[43:25] Speaker 3: Pick and my answer is because if you were the
[43:28] Speaker 3: number that's, look because that's that's, yeah you wouldn't the.
[43:33] Speaker 3: Draft it's not, random like if you were the number one,
[43:36] Speaker 3: pick he wouldn't be under some he would have a sight,
[43:39] Speaker 3: well he would like there's real things.
[43:42] Speaker 2: Too Tony romo was undrafted When Bill parcells found. Him
[43:45] Speaker 2: so the first four to five years Of Tony romo's
[43:47] Speaker 2: roster was.
[43:48] Speaker 1: GREAT i didn't pay m. Anything he was. Free the
[43:50] Speaker 1: minute they started Paying Tony, romo.
[43:52] Speaker 2: The offensive line wasn't as, good And Tony romo couldn't
[43:55] Speaker 2: win big, games even Though Tony romo is a really
[43:57] Speaker 2: GOOD b PLUS a minus.
[43:58] Speaker 1: Quarterback But tony rome was. Free Kurt warner early in his,
[44:02] Speaker 1: career WHO i think is, great undervalued, historically you, know
[44:05] Speaker 1: came into the. League he was.
[44:06] Speaker 2: Free there's no question that Brock purty's lineup was. STACKED i,
[44:11] Speaker 2: mean it's it's.
[44:12] Speaker 3: Well that well and, listen we don't we've done the
[44:14] Speaker 3: party thing. Before what is so frustrating to me about
[44:16] Speaker 3: the pretty thing is and maybe this is why it's
[44:19] Speaker 3: an ARGUMENT i can't get over is AND i And
[44:24] Speaker 3: i'm gonna make this, point you, know till the end
[44:27] Speaker 3: of my, career as long as this is. Relevant four
[44:31] Speaker 3: years folks argued About Jimmy, garoppolo he is he just a?
[44:37] Speaker 3: Winner is he? Underrated you? Know is you? Know? Was
[44:42] Speaker 3: did he Make brady nervous because he was breathing down his?
[44:45] Speaker 3: Neck and then there were folks like. Me he was, like,
[44:49] Speaker 3: AH i actually think he's pretty, mediocre and they'd be like,
[44:54] Speaker 3: no that team was. Terrible and then he got. There
[44:58] Speaker 3: they went to AN nfc championship, game they went to
[45:00] Speaker 3: a Super, bowl AND i kept, saying, YEAH i really
[45:05] Speaker 3: think twenty five quarterbacks in the, league if you gave
[45:09] Speaker 3: them the defense The niners, had then that head, coach those,
[45:14] Speaker 3: weapons they would be incredibly. Successful and it's, like, well
[45:19] Speaker 3: that's a. Hypothetical we'll never. Know and then they literally
[45:23] Speaker 3: replaced him with the last pick of the draft had
[45:25] Speaker 3: the exact same level of, success and those same people
[45:29] Speaker 3: instead of being like, shit maybe you're, right they're like
[45:32] Speaker 3: that new, guy he's fucking awesome. Too i'm, like you
[45:36] Speaker 3: gotta be kidding. Me i'm, like they literally did. It
[45:40] Speaker 3: they didn't replace him with a first round. Pick they
[45:42] Speaker 3: replaced him with the last pick of the. Draft and
[45:45] Speaker 3: guess what they. Did they went to AN nfc championship,
[45:48] Speaker 3: game like they did With. Jimmy they then went to
[45:50] Speaker 3: A Super. Bowl like they did With, jimmy they lost
[45:52] Speaker 3: The Super bowl to literally the same team in very similar,
[45:56] Speaker 3: fashion And you're, like turns out they're both. Awesome and
[45:59] Speaker 3: Then i'm, like, hey by the oh, wait How's groppolo
[46:01] Speaker 3: look that he's. Gone they're, like, oh, well you, know.
[46:05] Speaker 3: INJURIES i. Guess i'm, like or maybe he's. Stuck LIKE
[46:08] Speaker 3: i Think party's obviously better Than, Groppolo but Like garppolo
[46:11] Speaker 3: was a is a below average quarterback who looked quite.
[46:16] Speaker 3: GOOD i Think party's an average quarterback who looks great
[46:20] Speaker 3: in the exact same. System and by the, Way Jimmie
[46:22] Speaker 3: garoppolo never Had christian. McCaffrey AND i just feel myself going,
[46:26] Speaker 3: Crazy you're and then they paid him fifty three million,
[46:29] Speaker 3: Dollars so what DO i?
[46:29] Speaker 2: Know so on, It i've always thought it's. INTERESTING i
[46:33] Speaker 2: didn't grow up with a lot of.
[46:35] Speaker 1: TRADITION i went to.
[46:36] Speaker 2: CHURCH i went To Sunday school probably two or three
[46:38] Speaker 2: times as a. Kid my family Was, protestant But i'm.
[46:42] Speaker 2: Agnostic i've said that.
[46:43] Speaker 1: On the air a million.
[46:44] Speaker 2: TIMES i have no idea what's out, There much LIKE
[46:49] Speaker 2: Covid i'm not an, epidemiologist nor DO i have any
[46:53] Speaker 2: expertise in. RELIGION i just don't. Know SO i did
[46:58] Speaker 2: not grow UP i had divorces for my. PARENTS i
[47:02] Speaker 2: did not grow up in a traditional family like many
[47:05] Speaker 2: of my. Listeners so THEREFORE i understand people who really
[47:08] Speaker 2: gravitate to. Tradition it is kind of remarkable though forty
[47:14] Speaker 2: percent Of america lives in the zip code they were born.
[47:17] Speaker 1: In that's almost. Half that's that's pretty.
[47:19] Speaker 2: Crazy i'm now in a new, City, chicago LIKE i
[47:22] Speaker 2: just have moved my whole, life And i'm giving about two.
[47:24] Speaker 2: Weeks i'm totally. Comfortable SO i understand THAT i don't really.
[47:31] Speaker 2: Care i'm not A usc, graduate BUT i just think things.
[47:34] Speaker 2: Change AND usc moved into a much better, conference and
[47:38] Speaker 2: the only people that followed him to The big ten Were, Oregon,
[47:41] Speaker 2: washington AND, ucla their three biggest. Rivals so they lost
[47:43] Speaker 2: all the bad teams in The pac. Twelve they entered
[47:46] Speaker 2: a much better conference with the three toughest teams to,
[47:48] Speaker 2: beat and now we have a twelve team playoff where
[47:50] Speaker 2: they could play four other great teams at the end
[47:53] Speaker 2: of the. Year it is amazing what tradition. Does it
[47:57] Speaker 2: makes smart men beautiful women in, sports makes smart men.
[48:00] Speaker 2: Dumb it is remarkable to me that people are clinging
[48:04] Speaker 2: to this game and do not understand That Lincoln riley
[48:08] Speaker 2: is paid to get to the, playoff nothing.
[48:10] Speaker 1: More he could BEAT ucla thirty eight years in a.
[48:14] Speaker 2: Row if he never got to the, playoff he would
[48:17] Speaker 2: last thirty eight, years he'd last three. More and That
[48:22] Speaker 2: i'm confounded by people that don't see WHAT usc is,
[48:28] Speaker 2: doing which is, basically we.
[48:29] Speaker 1: Want to get to the.
[48:30] Speaker 2: Playoff we don't want to Play, Michigan Ohio, State, Oregon,
[48:33] Speaker 2: Washington Penn state and then have A november game In South,
[48:38] Speaker 2: Bend indiana as a warm weather. Team i've told you this.
[48:41] Speaker 2: Before there's never been A dome. Dynasty marino was not a.
[48:43] Speaker 2: Dynasty Warm weather teams when the playoffs are outdoors In,
[48:48] Speaker 2: january are at a. Disadvantage that's why The, patriots The,
[48:51] Speaker 2: ravens The, eagles The, chiefs The, packers The Seahawks San
[48:54] Speaker 2: francisco have felt kind of like Dynasties dallas a, little
[48:57] Speaker 2: but it's colder And dallas in the winter than people.
[48:59] Speaker 2: Think SO usc is, like, hey, listen we don't want
[49:03] Speaker 2: five cold games against five? Powers are you now you're
[49:07] Speaker 2: not a huge college football. Fan you've told me, This
[49:10] Speaker 2: but is there ever anything like this that you're? Shocked
[49:15] Speaker 2: maybe it's the rock pretty, Situation you're, shocked people are
[49:18] Speaker 2: struggling with.
[49:19] Speaker 3: Change, no so, no, No BUT I i actually want
[49:24] Speaker 3: to stay on this BECAUSE i do have a question
[49:26] Speaker 3: for you on, it Because i've heard you talk about,
[49:28] Speaker 3: this and this would be. PUSHBACK i don't even know
[49:33] Speaker 3: if it's, pushback just my. Concern my concern would, be
[49:39] Speaker 3: you're right What Lincoln riley's job, Is but, this to
[49:45] Speaker 3: me is like the first cousin of what My we've
[49:49] Speaker 3: talked about this my when we talk about baseball changing
[49:53] Speaker 3: rules and THE nba potentially needing to change, rules and
[49:59] Speaker 3: about how the GM's job is to build a team
[50:03] Speaker 3: under the current. Rules the coach's job is to look
[50:06] Speaker 3: at the current rules and construct the best strategy. Possible
[50:09] Speaker 3: the commissioner's job is to make sure the product is
[50:13] Speaker 3: as entertaining as possible and to make sure it gets
[50:16] Speaker 3: the most eyeballs as. Possible and my question would, be
[50:21] Speaker 3: do you think holistically college football runs a risk the
[50:27] Speaker 3: more it just markets itself as a minor LEAGUE nfl
[50:34] Speaker 3: when is if people love football at the highest, level
[50:40] Speaker 3: THE nfl is the place to. Go but there are
[50:42] Speaker 3: a lot of people in this country way more so
[50:46] Speaker 3: with THE nfl and college football than there is with
[50:48] Speaker 3: college basketball in THE, nba where you ask them and they,
[50:52] Speaker 3: say college football is my. FAVORITE i watch THE. NFL
[50:56] Speaker 3: i love college, football and a lot of that is
[51:00] Speaker 3: is the, tradition the, rivalries the, pageantry the fucking cheerleaders
[51:06] Speaker 3: and The saturdays and all of. It do you not
[51:11] Speaker 3: worry at all that because there is no commissioner of
[51:15] Speaker 3: college football because everyone is just thinking what is best
[51:20] Speaker 3: for me right now that there isn't a risk for
[51:24] Speaker 3: the sport as a, whole that usc notre. Dame even
[51:29] Speaker 3: as a guy who doesn't, care LIKE i just not
[51:31] Speaker 3: THAT i don't care about college. Football it's like my
[51:32] Speaker 3: seventh favorite thing in. Sports i'm, like well that going
[51:37] Speaker 3: away would, Suck like that's like AND i don't like.
[51:41] Speaker 3: That to me is something THAT i think can't be,
[51:46] Speaker 3: missed which is whether it should, matter it. DOESN'T i
[51:52] Speaker 3: don't think it's best for college football to just be
[51:55] Speaker 3: THE nfl with younger.
[51:57] Speaker 2: People it's not going to be it's going to become
[51:59] Speaker 2: co edge basketball with a different. Ball that the best
[52:04] Speaker 2: thing about it will be it's three and a half
[52:07] Speaker 2: week tournament at the, end is that that's what it'll.
[52:11] Speaker 2: Be it won't be a poor MAN'S. Nfl it'll be
[52:15] Speaker 2: a superman's college. Basketball it'll be a better version of
[52:19] Speaker 2: what college basketball is where the regular season's fun and
[52:22] Speaker 2: there's some, rivalries but it's about that sixteen team playoff
[52:27] Speaker 2: at the, end and it'll be four to five. Weeks
[52:30] Speaker 2: it'll be you, know jet fuel AND i Mean Texas
[52:34] Speaker 2: georgia last year gets a monster, number Not Texas. Oklahoma
[52:38] Speaker 2: and That Auburn alabama will always. Play and by the,
[52:41] Speaker 2: Way Ohio, State michigan will always Play. Michigan Michigan state will.
[52:45] Speaker 2: Play but there will be a handful of rivalries that
[52:49] Speaker 2: will possibly, subside and that that's just the cost of
[52:53] Speaker 2: doing of shifting the importance To. December december was always
[52:56] Speaker 2: The Holiday, bowl The Citrus. Bowl it was A i
[53:00] Speaker 2: always was bummed. OUT i ALWAYS i went To Larry
[53:02] Speaker 2: jones when he was like the guy At fox who
[53:05] Speaker 2: like paid for bulls and negotiated. Deals i'm, like let's
[53:07] Speaker 2: get more. Bulls he, goes they all lose, money And i'm,
[53:10] Speaker 2: like what a. BUMMER i wish we had like ten.
[53:12] Speaker 2: Bulls and in the, end The bulls felt bigger than they.
[53:17] Speaker 2: Were they're independent. Films they make the artists and the actors,
[53:21] Speaker 2: happy but most. Don't most are not reservoir, docs, Right
[53:25] Speaker 2: and so the bull, games you, know made sponsors, happy
[53:28] Speaker 2: but they didn't sell out and they didn't necessarily get a.
[53:31] Speaker 2: Rating and so basically it's going to be a hyper
[53:34] Speaker 2: version Of march. Madness eventually it needs to build up
[53:37] Speaker 2: the culture and build up you, know like we have
[53:39] Speaker 2: to get used To december being.
[53:41] Speaker 3: Amazing, No SO i so THAT'S i mean that so
[53:45] Speaker 3: that that's a really smart kind of way to look at,
[53:51] Speaker 3: it which is the Rich man's college. Basketball but and
[53:55] Speaker 3: again MAYBE i the WAY i like things doesn't mean
[53:59] Speaker 3: it's the right. Way BUT i have to tell, you
[54:04] Speaker 3: IF i were in charge of a sport very far
[54:09] Speaker 3: down the list of, sports That i'd be, like you know,
[54:11] Speaker 3: what we should emulate men's college basket where for four
[54:18] Speaker 3: months people are not all that. Interested and then it
[54:22] Speaker 3: is you do, like and this is this is something
[54:27] Speaker 3: that maybe the world's changing in that where it is
[54:30] Speaker 3: It's is it more valuable to have everyone's rapped attention
[54:35] Speaker 3: for three weeks and be you, know off the radar
[54:39] Speaker 3: for forty nine than to have a lot of people's
[54:44] Speaker 3: pretty and good attention for twelve weeks but to never
[54:49] Speaker 3: be the. ZEITGEIST i don't, Know like Maybe i've talked
[54:52] Speaker 3: to our Friend maverick about, this which is is a
[54:56] Speaker 3: belief that like we are moving to where it's all about,
[55:01] Speaker 3: events that's, Right he's LIKELY i talked with. Him in college,
[55:05] Speaker 3: football it'll be an, event, right an event like where
[55:09] Speaker 3: you can have people over and be like we Are
[55:12] Speaker 3: why he said this is why he thought THE nfl
[55:15] Speaker 3: was so successful is they could make so many games
[55:19] Speaker 3: feel like an event that the you, know The Jake,
[55:23] Speaker 3: Paul Mike, tyson that was an, event a, moment rather
[55:28] Speaker 3: than inventory of a bunch of. Stuff maybe that's where we're.
[55:31] Speaker 3: Headed maybe when everything is so, fragmented that's attention you
[55:36] Speaker 3: need stand. Alone here's the.
[55:38] Speaker 2: Thing IF i had to, say here's eight things that
[55:40] Speaker 2: are going to work going. Forward The World, cup The
[55:43] Speaker 2: olympics depending on, teams The World, Series March, madness THE,
[55:50] Speaker 2: nfl The College Football, playoff and if you get really
[55:54] Speaker 2: POPULAR ufc, fighters BIG ufc. Events those will all, work
[55:59] Speaker 2: and then what's going to struggle is The Major League,
[56:02] Speaker 2: baseball THE, mls THE nba and THE nhl regular. Season
[56:07] Speaker 2: fox has tried to inject the game In London Mets
[56:12] Speaker 2: phillies the field of, dreams like that's.
[56:15] Speaker 3: The rickwood, field the field of. Dreams that's cool and
[56:19] Speaker 3: and again not to sound like a company, shill the
[56:22] Speaker 3: Way fox made our show The indy five hundred feel.
[56:29] Speaker 3: Huge america. Responded five million people watched it last year seven.
[56:34] Speaker 3: MILLION i watched. It they watched it, right people were
[56:38] Speaker 3: in and so that maybe that is the. Answer maybe
[56:41] Speaker 3: it is turning things into. Events that, ALSO i you,
[56:45] Speaker 3: KNOW i pitched this one hundred. Times i'll pitch it
[56:48] Speaker 3: to you. Here it also is another. Reason and if
[56:51] Speaker 3: anyone ever does, this Because i've been pitching it for a,
[56:54] Speaker 3: decade just make me some consultant on the. LEAGUE i
[56:58] Speaker 3: still believe there is a market for, boxing AND i
[57:03] Speaker 3: think that with all This sauty money or whatever it,
[57:08] Speaker 3: is if somebody you would need a few. Billionaires i've
[57:13] Speaker 3: been talking about this for ten. Years to go to
[57:17] Speaker 3: the top sixteen fighters in every weight, class and say
[57:23] Speaker 3: who is your promoter and YOUR, tv whats your who
[57:29] Speaker 3: is your contract? With why you know the reason that
[57:32] Speaker 3: there's seven belts in this and you can't, Fight we're
[57:35] Speaker 3: buying them all, out everyone, out and here's the. Deal
[57:40] Speaker 3: we are signing you to the. League our league has
[57:43] Speaker 3: very simple. Rules you fight four times a. Year you
[57:48] Speaker 3: have an official. Ranking the. Rank the ranking says if
[57:52] Speaker 3: you are the eighth ranked, fighter you fight the ninth
[57:55] Speaker 3: ranked fighter In you, know we have monthly pay per.
[57:59] Speaker 3: Views we have four weight, classes we have one belt
[58:03] Speaker 3: per weight, class and every single pay per view one
[58:08] Speaker 3: of the belts is going to be on the. Line
[58:10] Speaker 3: everyone's going to know every month there is a big
[58:14] Speaker 3: event and guess. What being the heavyweight champion of the
[58:18] Speaker 3: world is going to mean something again and everyone's going
[58:22] Speaker 3: to know who it is because it's one. Person because
[58:25] Speaker 3: as as much as successful AS ufc has, BEEN i
[58:31] Speaker 3: still believe that there is a barrier to entry FOR
[58:37] Speaker 3: ufc that does not exist for, boxing which is nobody
[58:43] Speaker 3: ever has been, like, YEAH i don't understand that. Sport with,
[58:48] Speaker 3: boxing it's very fucking. Simple it's, like, hey they're gonna
[58:51] Speaker 3: punch each other and someone might get knocked. Out AND
[58:54] Speaker 3: i LIKE. UFC i don't think it's that hard to,
[58:57] Speaker 3: understand but everyone has been, like, OH i don't get,
[59:00] Speaker 3: it like how is this? Scoring like? What and so
[59:03] Speaker 3: if somebody just Took Dana WHITE'S ufc model and made
[59:08] Speaker 3: it a boxing. Model and the other free advice here, is, hey,
[59:13] Speaker 3: guys people are worried about judge. CORRUPTION i don't know
[59:16] Speaker 3: how much judges, cost but you know how to make
[59:18] Speaker 3: sure there's not. Corruption instead of having, three have nine
[59:21] Speaker 3: and do the figure skating scoring, thing which is the
[59:25] Speaker 3: highest and the lowest scores don't even count and it's
[59:28] Speaker 3: the seven scorecards done. FIXED i think boxing could be
[59:32] Speaker 3: a big eventing in as. Well LIKE i think people
[59:36] Speaker 3: people are into it if they feel like it's on
[59:38] Speaker 3: the level and they know the. People you just have
[59:41] Speaker 3: to know the people. Involved but there's it's two, says.
[59:44] Speaker 2: Yeah, Listen i've gone to more boxing THAN i HAVE,
[59:48] Speaker 2: ufc AND i say that having the last six years
[59:51] Speaker 2: gone to at least THREE ufc fights per. Year so
[59:55] Speaker 2: WHEN i was In, vegas.
[59:56] Speaker 3: You lived In, vegas you used to go every.
[59:58] Speaker 2: Week and, Right SO i LOVE, ufc BUT i do
[1:00:02] Speaker 2: Think John jones And connor McGregor were, dynamite and when
[1:00:06] Speaker 2: you take them, out it's looking for there's some GUYS i,
[1:00:10] Speaker 2: like there's five or six Guys i'm really.
[1:00:12] Speaker 1: Into but it.
[1:00:13] Speaker 2: DOES i, mean boxing has always been somewhat beholden like.
[1:00:17] Speaker 2: Basketball it's a star driven sport like TWO. A you,
[1:00:20] Speaker 2: know a dynamic or enigmatic or a controversial. Star that's
[1:00:24] Speaker 2: just part Of football's, basically it doesn't. Matter it really doesn't.
[1:00:28] Speaker 2: Matter everything else in this. Country, brands market stars, matter everything,
[1:00:33] Speaker 2: else including THE, ufc And dana would probably tell you
[1:00:36] Speaker 2: that the pay per views For connor McGregor And John
[1:00:38] Speaker 2: jones were just different and has nothing to do with.
[1:00:41] Speaker 2: Management it's just there are these supernova north star athletes
[1:00:45] Speaker 2: in every sport but football that move a. Needle it's
[1:00:50] Speaker 2: almost summer in THE dmv and if you love, golf

[1:01:40] Speaker 3: Sports do you let me ask you? One let me
[1:01:53] Speaker 3: ask you a football question that we is a dumb
[1:01:57] Speaker 3: kind of more of a dumb SPORTS tv, thing BUT
[1:01:59] Speaker 3: i actually want to know what you think of. It
[1:02:02] Speaker 3: have The chiefs Become america's team or will that always
[1:02:07] Speaker 3: be The?
[1:02:08] Speaker 2: No in, fact The cowboys were tied for third in total,
[1:02:13] Speaker 2: audience and that's Because fox puts them on games they
[1:02:16] Speaker 2: probably shouldn't, be but because the biggest draws right now
[1:02:20] Speaker 2: are The chiefs and The bills and The ravens and
[1:02:25] Speaker 2: The niners are also big in The. Packers BUT i
[1:02:28] Speaker 2: think after this year When dallas wins five to six,
[1:02:31] Speaker 2: games BECAUSE i think they have the worst probably head
[1:02:33] Speaker 2: coach in the, league arguably Good. COURT i think he
[1:02:36] Speaker 2: was an average. COORDINATOR i think he's MORE i think.
[1:02:38] Speaker 3: YEAH i, mean certainly the most unproven and the oddest. Hyeah.
[1:02:42] Speaker 2: Yeah so my take Is dallas will be the fourth
[1:02:45] Speaker 2: most watch team in the league after this. Year, Now
[1:02:48] Speaker 2: fox may because Of fox promotion and marketing ability and production,
[1:02:53] Speaker 2: values we may be able to prop up The cowboys.
[1:02:56] Speaker 3: Juicy.
[1:02:57] Speaker 2: YEAH i, Mean fox just does. It fox gives, you
[1:02:59] Speaker 2: like if you Give fox, baseball it just is better
[1:03:02] Speaker 2: than other networks doing. Baseball fox is really good At
[1:03:06] Speaker 2: Eric shanks lived in a. Truck that's how YOUR. Ceo
[1:03:10] Speaker 2: everybody has a. Specialty bodenheimer was sales WHEN i was AT.
[1:03:13] Speaker 2: ESPN espn could monetize anything. Anything shanks grew up in a.
[1:03:20] Speaker 2: Truck so our production values are. Sensational they always have.
[1:03:25] Speaker 2: BEEN i MEAN i said this a couple of years.
[1:03:26] Speaker 2: Ago the five to six hour Live Super bowls from
[1:03:30] Speaker 2: opening moment the pregame show starts to the, end they're,
[1:03:35] Speaker 2: Majestic they're like as good As american television gets for.
[1:03:39] Speaker 3: Us live five.
[1:03:41] Speaker 2: Hours so SO i Think fox may prop The cowboys,
[1:03:45] Speaker 2: up but if you put them on another, network they.
[1:03:47] Speaker 2: Wouldn't they wouldn't resonate as. Much but they're Not they're
[1:03:50] Speaker 2: not a fun. Team dak is a boring, player a
[1:03:53] Speaker 2: second lower body body. Injury he's not hyper, athletic he
[1:03:56] Speaker 2: doesn't have a big. Arm they have a couple of interesting.
[1:03:59] Speaker 2: Receivers they're not to. Watch philadelphia is fun to, Watch
[1:04:02] Speaker 2: detroit's fun to, Watch, Buffalo Kansas. City there's some teams
[1:04:06] Speaker 2: in this league THAT I i mean like when the
[1:04:08] Speaker 2: receivers are. Healthy houston's fun to watch when the receivers are,
[1:04:12] Speaker 2: Healthy cincinnati's fun to. Watch but, NO i THINK i
[1:04:17] Speaker 2: Think Kansas city is Actually america's.
[1:04:18] Speaker 6: Team.
[1:04:19] Speaker 1: ABSOLUTELY i don't think there's any.
[1:04:20] Speaker 2: Question AND i would say AND i would, Say buffalo
[1:04:24] Speaker 2: to me feels like number.
[1:04:26] Speaker 1: Two oh.
[1:04:28] Speaker 3: LISTEN i Think buffalo is probably the team people the
[1:04:33] Speaker 3: team neutral fans root for the, most BECAUSE i think
[1:04:38] Speaker 3: people they look At buffalo not as an, underdog but like,
[1:04:41] Speaker 3: man they gotta get over at some. Point And Josh
[1:04:43] Speaker 3: allen is so, likable and The chiefs have kind of
[1:04:46] Speaker 3: become like, villains you, know to a degree all, That but,
[1:04:51] Speaker 3: YEAH i just THINK i think the team that is
[1:04:53] Speaker 3: the biggest draw, on the most interesting is The. Chiefs
[1:04:57] Speaker 3: and that the REASON i even asked it is it
[1:04:59] Speaker 3: just speaks to the power of THE nfl that the
[1:05:03] Speaker 3: most popular or most interesting team in the biggest league
[1:05:07] Speaker 3: in the country can be From Kansas, City. Missouri you
[1:05:10] Speaker 3: know WHAT i? Mean like that it isn't think about.
[1:05:12] Speaker 1: This think about.
[1:05:13] Speaker 2: This here's the sixth biggest brands in THE, nfl arguably
[1:05:17] Speaker 2: Now Kansas, City, Buffalo, Baltimore Green.
[1:05:21] Speaker 3: Bay, yeah, Uh San, francisco probably Still. Dallas but still
[1:05:28] Speaker 3: it's Not it's none of The New. York it's not IN,
[1:05:31] Speaker 3: la even though The rams are. Good uh, yeah all,
[1:05:35] Speaker 3: Right CAN i tell you something else because you'll like.
[1:05:37] Speaker 3: IT i don't know if there's something, Else, no, Please
[1:05:40] Speaker 3: i'm Gonna i'm gonna show you. Something so, look so
[1:05:44] Speaker 3: look at this. HERE i don't even know if you'll
[1:05:46] Speaker 3: be able to put it. Up see if you can
[1:05:49] Speaker 3: see At.
[1:05:51] Speaker 2: Nick, Right nick, right poker. Trading, okay now back it
[1:05:55] Speaker 2: up for the. Camera go the other.
[1:05:56] Speaker 1: Side turn. Around there we. Go look at, that.
[1:06:02] Speaker 3: SO i the here's the craziest piece of. THIS i
[1:06:07] Speaker 3: had to buy this On eBay BECAUSE i signed all
[1:06:10] Speaker 3: these for this, company BUT i didn't get like they
[1:06:13] Speaker 3: they're it's trading. Cards so they all got sent out in,
[1:06:15] Speaker 3: sets and the set they sent me didn't have my own,
[1:06:19] Speaker 3: card SO i had to pay like forty. Bucks that's
[1:06:21] Speaker 3: the going rate for a Nick Right poker or leaf trading.
[1:06:25] Speaker 3: Card but the REASON i brought it up is, because
[1:06:28] Speaker 3: AND i know you'll be excited about. This for, me
[1:06:31] Speaker 3: today is the first day of The World series Of,
[1:06:34] Speaker 3: poker and a week from, TODAY i fly To vegas
[1:06:39] Speaker 3: to play in like four. Tournaments So i'm gonna be In.
[1:06:42] Speaker 3: Vegas how much do you take From, well it's a,
[1:06:47] Speaker 3: wire but it'll BE i, Mean i'll tell you the
[1:06:50] Speaker 3: Tournaments i'm. Playing So i'm playing in the ten thousand
[1:06:55] Speaker 3: Dollars Dealer's. Choice so that's a tournament that it's it's
[1:06:59] Speaker 3: one of the most. Prestigious it's gonna be a bunch
[1:07:02] Speaker 3: of pros and. Me The Dealer's choice Means. Colin there's
[1:07:06] Speaker 3: twenty two different. Variations there's old school five card, draw
[1:07:11] Speaker 3: there's seven guard stud there's games you never heard, of
[1:07:14] Speaker 3: Like badoogie. Badoo, see they're twenty two different games could be,
[1:07:18] Speaker 3: played and every seven, hands a different player at the
[1:07:23] Speaker 3: table gets to, Say, okay for the next seven, hands
[1:07:26] Speaker 3: we're playing, this and then you gotta play. It so
[1:07:30] Speaker 3: that is you have to be able to like you
[1:07:32] Speaker 3: have to a know the rules and how to play
[1:07:35] Speaker 3: every single one of the, games and b you have
[1:07:38] Speaker 3: to be able to pick up On oh, wait that
[1:07:40] Speaker 3: person made a grievous mistake on that, game So i'm
[1:07:45] Speaker 3: gonna everyone should call that game until that person's out
[1:07:49] Speaker 3: here because they're drawing dead at. It it's really like
[1:07:51] Speaker 3: a fascinating. Way So i'm gonna play. That i'm gonna
[1:07:54] Speaker 3: play the ten thousand dollars seven guard stud and Then
[1:07:57] Speaker 3: i'm gonna play a fifteen hundred dollars bad, tournament which
[1:08:01] Speaker 3: but doogie is you get four cards that to draw a,
[1:08:04] Speaker 3: game you need all four suits as low cards as.
[1:08:07] Speaker 3: Possible seems, silly it's. Awesome and Then i'm gonna play
[1:08:11] Speaker 3: what is the silliest tournament And world series of poker,
[1:08:14] Speaker 3: history which is the pot Limit Omaha Double Board Bomb Pop.
[1:08:17] Speaker 3: Tournament but that none of that those specifics are more
[1:08:20] Speaker 3: interesting to real poker. Players what is exciting for me
[1:08:24] Speaker 3: is literally as we speak right, now there is a
[1:08:30] Speaker 3: a twenty five thousand dollars ten team fantasy draft going
[1:08:36] Speaker 3: on with the WIN i think it's winner take all
[1:08:39] Speaker 3: where it's a world series of poker fantasy. Draft so
[1:08:45] Speaker 3: it's like football. Players so Like Phil, hellmuth every team
[1:08:48] Speaker 3: involved ten ten teams or people put up twenty five,
[1:08:52] Speaker 3: grand they sell pieces of it, whatever and then a
[1:08:56] Speaker 3: guy Like Phil, hellmuth every team has two hundred dollars in,
[1:08:59] Speaker 3: salaries and then they do an auction for the. Players
[1:09:04] Speaker 3: and however well you do in the, tournaments is you
[1:09:07] Speaker 3: know how many points you get for your. Team so
[1:09:09] Speaker 3: Like phil helm youth will probably go for like one
[1:09:11] Speaker 3: hundred bucks or whatever it. Is AND i think there's a,
[1:09:15] Speaker 3: chance probably just on a, lark but that somebody pays
[1:09:19] Speaker 3: one dollar to draft me to be on their. World
[1:09:22] Speaker 3: there is a poker fantasy team in CASE i bank
[1:09:25] Speaker 3: one of these. Tournaments So i've been While i've been
[1:09:29] Speaker 3: talking to, you when you've seen me glance down at my,
[1:09:31] Speaker 3: Phone i've been trying to check and see if somebody
[1:09:34] Speaker 3: did what is probably bad general managing but spend a
[1:09:38] Speaker 3: dollar to have my results of The World series count
[1:09:41] Speaker 3: for their fantasy. Team SO i know all of this
[1:09:44] Speaker 3: is very complicated and confusing for people aren't poker, Players
[1:09:47] Speaker 3: but for people who are poker, players this is maybe
[1:09:50] Speaker 3: the single coolest thing about being me is that because
[1:09:55] Speaker 3: of my, success whatever that is in my professional, Life
[1:09:58] Speaker 3: i've got to basically just parachute into part time professional
[1:10:02] Speaker 3: poker player and play with all of the best players
[1:10:06] Speaker 3: in the. World AND i love it so. Much and
[1:10:08] Speaker 3: The World series starts today And i'll be out there
[1:10:11] Speaker 3: in a.
[1:10:11] Speaker 1: Week so is there a resentment in the industry because
[1:10:14] Speaker 1: you've been able to parachute.
[1:10:15] Speaker 3: In, no because anybody. Can because that's the great thing about.
[1:10:20] Speaker 3: Poker every tournament's open. Entry you just got to fork
[1:10:25] Speaker 3: up the, money you know WHAT i.
[1:10:26] Speaker 2: Mean, so LIKE, i IF i asked you so AND
[1:10:31] Speaker 2: i want you you can have hubrius.
[1:10:34] Speaker 1: Confidence IF i said to.
[1:10:36] Speaker 6: You truly, publicly how where do you rank in the
[1:10:42] Speaker 6: World IF i said to, you are you a top
[1:10:46] Speaker 6: thirty poker player in the.
[1:10:47] Speaker 3: World, no, no zero percent, chance zero percent, chance no, no,
[1:10:53] Speaker 3: no nowhere close to. That but this is what's so
[1:10:55] Speaker 3: interesting about. Poker you want some of them most profitable
[1:11:01] Speaker 3: poker players in the, world of WHICH i am not
[1:11:03] Speaker 3: even close to any of, that but are not top
[1:11:07] Speaker 3: one thousand. Players they are just good players who only
[1:11:12] Speaker 3: play with awful. Players poker's really weird like. That, like
[1:11:17] Speaker 3: so here is the part where these tournaments are a different,
[1:11:20] Speaker 3: story because anybody.
[1:11:22] Speaker 2: Can it's the opposite of, golf where your score is
[1:11:24] Speaker 2: your score on the. Course it doesn't matter who you play.
[1:11:27] Speaker 3: With. Correct, Correct it's the exact opposite WHERE i where
[1:11:33] Speaker 3: WHERE i am very lucky.
[1:11:35] Speaker 1: You play against great, Players, well, no you don't want.
[1:11:39] Speaker 3: TO i in these, TOURNAMENTS i play against great, players
[1:11:42] Speaker 3: and that's just fun to like test. Myself but as
[1:11:46] Speaker 3: far as like cash games or if like you're trying
[1:11:48] Speaker 3: to make, money what you want is to get invited
[1:11:53] Speaker 3: to the games with like the tech, billionaires the retired athletes'
[1:11:58] Speaker 3: influencers or whatever it, is, right and those GAMES i
[1:12:05] Speaker 3: can get into a lot of those. Games, now a
[1:12:08] Speaker 3: lot of those games That i've been invited, TO i
[1:12:11] Speaker 3: actually don't, have like the bank roll for him those
[1:12:14] Speaker 3: games people are bringing five, six seven hundred thousand dollars to.
[1:12:18] Speaker 3: Them but the actual best players in the world don't

[1:12:25] Speaker 3: like why would we invite a great player to those?
[1:12:28] Speaker 3: Games SO i don't, know it's just it's just WHAT i.
