But I want to talk football.

Speaker 8153.04s - 155s

Now, we both love football.

Speaker 9156.5s - 160.38s

And the NFL ORG, more than any league, would you agree with this?

Speaker 8161.72s - 797.76s

They know how to play television. Schedules, free agency. They even look at shows like this. Where can we get the most free TV? So the NFL schedule release tonight or tomorrow. But a few games are leaking out. And I know how much Aaron Rogers loves conspiracy theories. He doesn't view them as such, but many people do. So I thought, well, let me throw one of my favorites out.The 49ers on Monday night football, the first Monday night football game, that's always a crazy crowd, host Aaron and the New York Jets ORG. You think it's a coincidence? The NFL looked at the Jets ORG' schedule and said, what would be the toughest game? Hmm.Travel 3,000 miles and face Kyle Shanahan PERSON, a brilliant offensive coach in the opener. Monday night football, the first Monday night football game? Think about this. Offensive coaches, Andy Reed in September, best coach in the league. McVeigh, 6 and 1 in openers.Shanahan PERSON. Offensive coaches are much tougher to face off buys, extra time to prepare, and in openers. Go ask Pete Carroll what it was like to face McVeigh last year in the opener. When the heavily underdog Road Rams went to Seattle GPE and unveiled an entirely different run scheme, Pete and the Seahawks were lost for three and a half hours.Robert Sala, defensive coach, nobody knows him better than Shanahan PERSON. Well, Colin, nobody knows Shanahan PERSON better than... Yeah, but he's a defensive coach. Shanahan PERSON's going to unveil all sorts with his veteran team that's got winning inertia, winning momentum, at home Monday night football. What part of the Jets did they rebuild this offseason?The O-line, three veteran O linemen oh wait offensive lines are never synced up in September especially with three new players and especially now that no veteran offensive linemen really play in the preseason those days are past there's only three preseason games anymore the league is reducing it And the coaches are reducing playing starters, old starters, especially. So think of all the games on their schedule. You face Shanahan PERSON on the road, rebuilt offensive line.Oh, by the way, the player that knocked Aaron Rogers out, Leonard Floyd, he now plays for the Niners ORG. You think it's a coincidence? I've watched the NFL my entire life. Aaron Rogers out, Leonard Floyd, he now plays for the Niners ORG. You think it's a coincidence? I've watched the NFL ORG my entire life. Manipulate television networks. The free agent schedule.Christmas Day to take away some oxygen from the NBA ORG. This network and other networks constantly have to tell baseball and hockey how to create more big events the NFL teaches us lessons and they chose Aaron in San Francisco GPE as the opener and why would they do that because Aaron's gotten increasingly controversial and the NFL ORG owns the world the last time they were controversial was Colin Kaepernick it hurt ratings ratings. They don't want controversy. They don't need controversy.They don't need clicks. You go look at that jet schedule with three new offensive linemen plus JMAQ PERSON, a rookie offensive lineman. You think they're going to be humming week one against that pass rush? No chance. That is the toughest game on their schedule. And the NFL ORG, look at this too.Because I don't believe Aaron's driving business anymore. Mahomes is, Lamar is, Alan is, Cowboys are, Packers ORG are. What did they do to the brand-friendly Patrick Mahomes in the first two weeks? Two Division Row LOC home games. They got Patrick Mahomes PERSON. Gets to fate.My bad. Patrick Mahomes gets two home games to start. He gets a little Joe Burrow PERSON to start. Lamar Jackson PERSON. So brand-friendly Kansas City. Mahomes PERSON the biggest rock star.Taylor Swift PERSON, they get them at home and it's friendly. Aaron Rogers, 3,000-mile flight, rebuilt O-line, offensive coach. Think it's a coincidence? Think it's a zany coincidence. Kansas City brand friendly. Put them at home.Everybody wants to start the season off. Right. Arrowhead FAC. They win like 75, 80% of their games. Think I'm crazy? Shanahan knows Sala PERSON's defense back and forth.I know what you're saying. Colin PERSON, that is way out there. I've watched this league manipulate. Networks, free agency, Christmas Day, the draft, they are constantly aware of who is helping the league and who's potentially a pain in the butt.Jets 0-1-1, off the front page, back to another losing season. I know it stings, J-Mack, but it seems to me the NFL put them in San Francisco GPE to start. And that, by the way, Monday Monday night football not the early window not the late afternoon no the two toughest places to win in this league are sunny night football on the road and Monday night football on the road not a coincidence you could have buried that thing in late October given Aaron a couple of nice couple ofnice games couple of home games a winning streak of home games, a winning street. No, you could have had the Niners ORG, you know, coming off the road, send him out road, send him road, road, now the Jets ORG road. Now, the Jets road. Now, rested offensive coach at home with, by the way, another clever receiving weapon in Ricky Pearson. All sorts of tricks for Shanahan PERSON to play with. Okay.ahan to play with. Okay.Congrats to OKC ORG. They, unlike Dallas ORG, hit their free throws. They, unlike Dallas ORG, did not make mistakes. The young team, the young OKC ORG did all the things right late in the game. Congrats to them, SGA ORG's remarkable player. But I was thinking about this.Is that at any one time, the NBA's got about a dozen what you would call stars. Like right now they've got about a dozen stars. Luke is a star and Janus and Embed PERSON and, yeah, you know the group. Ant PERSON is becoming a statem's a star. SGA ORG is a star. In any one time, there's 10 to 12 stars.And usually I'm all in on almost all of them. But there's always one, maybe two tops, that I'm a little reluctant to embrace. Blake Griffin was one I didn't embrace. I said, take away the dunks. What do I get?Can't shoot a jumper. Carmelo Anthony PERSON. I didn't embrace. Won't defend. Low efficiency jump shooter. I'm not sure he's in great shape. Not easy to play with. Derek Rose PERSON, I wouldn't embrace.Hyperathletic, can't shoot, not sustainable if you have to score at the rim. Westbrook PERSON. Same thing. Hyperathletic, not a great shooter. And when the ball's not in his hands, he's not very effective. By the way, those guys, no titles, I think won finals appearance.Blake Griffin, Mello, Rose, Westbrook PERSON, I just wasn't in for it. Luca PERSON is not quite there yet, but I'm getting really close to saying that about Luca PERSON. Yeah, I mean, I compared him to Mello PERSON when he came into the league. I think he's better than Mello, better three-point shooter,although he's having a terrible three-point shooting run. But watch Luca PERSON when he doesn't have the ball. Sometimes you can't find him on the TV screen. He disengages. He doesn't move like a Steph Curry PERSON. Whereas a Steph Curryand a Yokic PERSON who have combined for five titles, five MVP WORK_OF_ART's and counting, constantly create value when they don't have the ball.When Luca PERSON doesn't have it, eh, whatever, you guys do your thing. That's the difference between Yokic and Curry and Luca PERSON. They add tremendous value to a team even when they don't have the ball. He just screams selfish to me. I want him to be part of the offense.He wants to be the offense. Almost like when you get that report card, at least I did when I was like fifth, sixth grade, doesn't play well with others. Mom saw it. I had to shape up.Like, what are you going to tell him? How are you going to teach him? I mean, again, since he was like 16 years old, he's the team, he's the offense, he's the score. He is almost indifferent to the team when he doesn't have the ball. He could go to the corner, the closest three. It doesn't work for it.I think I saw this morning like 92 of 96 threes are non-corner threes. Why isn't he working to get those threes? Those are the easiest threes. Because when he doesn't have the ball, he doesn't play well with others. And that really defines beyond their great talent, Curry and Yokic PERSON. Again, five titles, five MVPs.So I'm not saying stars can't have off nights. That happens all the time. Yokic didn't play well in the first couple games in Minnesota ORG got pushed around, rebounded, and I'm sure Luca PERSON will have great other games. But between the, I mean, one of the reasons, they're kind of in a tough spot in Dallas ORG. So they don't want Luca to have the ball as much because they're like 9 and 0 when his usage rate is under 30%. Butwhen he doesn't have the ball, he's a fairly useless player who doesn't play well with others. Here's Luca on he and Kyrie struggling offensively in the loss.

Speaker 4798.68s - 828s

What's been so difficult for you guys to get in a groove? Specifically tonight, but really all series long. I think they're so focused on us. They could collapse the pain very well. You know, when we both drive it, they collect the pain, collapse the pain or almost five guys.So I think that's been difficult for us. We just got to find open teammates. Got to find open teammates. Just a thought. a thought now i know j mack PERSON i'm

Speaker 8828s - 871.72s

watching you over there roll your eyes on that and again it's just a conspiracy theory by me there's nothing concrete there's no there's no email from roger giddell PERSON to the schedule maker there's no proof I'm right. But I mean, who knows Sala better than Shanahan PERSON? What you don't want to face in the opener is Monday night football, cross-country on the road with a rebuilt O line that won't play much in the preseason. And an offensive coach known for creativity, McVeigh, Reed, Sean Payton, Shanahan, those are the guys I don't want to open the season with. I'll open it with other coaches. But offensive coaches, you want to face Andy

Speaker 9871.72s - 884.02s

Reed in the opener or off a buy? No, thank you. So I know your summer calendar is filling up quickly with vacations. I think you might need to bake in a darkness retreat because the stuff

Speaker 0884.02s - 895.5s

you're saying right now about the Jets ORG, like, this is silly, Colin PERSON. First of all, their offensive line's going to be healthy in week one. The old guys that you say are never healthy. Just like how the Lakers should face the nuggets in the first round because the Lakers ORG are fresh and healthy,

Speaker 9896.3s - 905.2s

the Jets, Moses, and Tyron Smith PERSON are going to be healthy. I mean, they're not going to play in the preseason. They can be fine. I just looked at the line. I saw an opener of five in the desert, and then other places are saying 49ers, six can be fine. I just looked at the line. I saw an opener of five in the desert,

Speaker 8911.54s - 916.94s

and then other places are saying 49ers, six and a half. Do you think the Jets will be a six and a half point dog at any point in this season? And I'm going to answer for you, no. Yeah, great. Get the

Speaker 9916.94s - 920.7s

toughest game out of the way right out the gate. I don't mind we start 0-1, not the end of the

Speaker 8920.7s - 926.3s

world. It's fine. But what's interesting is, what if week two is in Buffalo GPE?

Speaker 9926.4s - 928.66s

Well, we'll get the schedule. No, no. Buffalo is Miami Week 2.

Speaker 8928.76s - 931.68s

So we don't have to worry about. Maybe we'll get the Patriots in Week 2. A cupcake.

Speaker 9932.34s - 936.58s

How about that one? An easy, I'll lay up a rookie quarterback against Robert Tala's PERSON defense.

Speaker 8937.38s - 939.84s

Boy, this schedule stuff is a little, it's exciting.

Speaker 9940.24s - 944.02s

You know, you can start to pencil in games that you've got to watch and put stuff in the calendar.

Speaker 8944.02s - 946.18s

Do you do a shared calendar with your wife by any chance?

Speaker 9947.04s - 949.4s

Um, a shared calendar.

Speaker 8949.4s - 952.3s

Yeah, where I'll put like Jets ORG game, I cannot miss.

Speaker 9952.44s - 954.16s

Like, don't schedule me for anything.

Speaker 8954.44s - 955.16s

Can't do dinner.

Speaker 9955.5s - 956.62s

Like, I got a big day.

Speaker 8956.62s - 958.72s

I put in September and October unavailable.

Speaker 9959.44s - 962.3s

Just two months. Blocked off.

Speaker 8963.28s - 966.32s

So I love, I love the schedule's coming.

Speaker 9966.4s - 967.78s

Now, it's going to leak out.

Speaker 8968.12s - 969.26s

So by tomorrow's show,

Speaker 9969.36s - 978.78s

we'll have all the big games, because the networks, you know, they get, a Fox ORG will come out with their stuff, and a Sunday night footballwill come out with their stuff. But I, I'm just saying,

Speaker 8979.54s - 996.9s

this league is strategic. They put games on Christmas Day for a reason. They saw weakness with the very rapidly international NBA ORG having a little weakness with Star Power, LeBron, Steph, KD, aging, and they went right after the NBA.

Speaker 9997.06s - 1006.9s

Did you see they put games up, I believe, two games up against the college football playoff? Did you see that? Yeah, the NFL ORG, nothing is random.

Speaker 81007.6s - 1008.68s

Nothing's a coincidence.

Speaker 91008.68s - 1011.78s

Except Friday night lights. They don't do Friday night football for high school.

Speaker 81011.94s - 1014.52s

No, no, no. And I think that's very appropriate.

Speaker 91014.76s - 1024.08s

And I also think they understand America GPE. The NFL ORG understands that, hey, we're not going to screw with high school kids. Those dads and those sons, they watch us on Sunday. We're not going to screw with those people.

Speaker 81024.76s - 1029.54s

College football will go after. NBA ORG, absolutely. Hockey's not a threat so we don't care.

Speaker 91029.54s - 1034.82s

Fortunately, we have remote controls that I'm going to get batteries and like I changed the channel.

Speaker 81034.96s - 1035.74s

It's not the end of the world.

Speaker 91035.82s - 1037s

You know what I bought the other day?

Speaker 81038.12s - 1040.42s

Sling. I do it monthly.

Speaker 91040.62s - 1041.06s

Oh, okay.

Speaker 111041.22s - 1044.7s

I bought another app because they had some NBA ORG stuff.

Speaker 91045.04s - 1045.24s

All right. Interesting wording. a monthly. Oh, okay. I bought another app because I like, you know, they had some NBA ORG stuff. So, yeah.

Speaker 61046.32s - 1047.86s

All right. Interesting

Speaker 111047.86s - 1049.52s

wording.

Speaker 91050.12s - 1052.22s

Now, on this show, we often say

Speaker 111052.22s - 1054.04s

stuff only

Speaker 81054.04s - 1086.38s

gets out when somebody wants it out. And that's not a knock on Wojj PERSON, a J. Glazer PERSON, Peter Schrager PERSON, great reporters.But stuff gets out when people want it out. If they don't want it out, you're not getting it. Interesting what got out yesterday. Anybody else notice that? Somebody wanted it out, and it got out. And we'll talk about that next.

So stuff gets out when people or organizations or leagues want it out. or leagues want it out. Woj, very, very connected NBA ORG reporter,talked about Rob Polinka in the Lakers ORG in conversations with officials across the league said the Lakers ORG were looking for, quote, a grinder as their next head coach. I mean, that's not even subtle. They're just saying Darvinham didn't put in the hours. Here's what's interesting.Made a couple calls. So, Darvinham worked with Budenholzer in Atlanta and Milwaukee GPE. That was the knock. Remember the knock on Boonholzer staff in Milwaukee GPE? That was the knock. Remember the knock on Budenholzer staff in Milwaukee GPE?Is that in playoff basketball, they would get worked. Poor execution. Now remember, the regular season, you don't play the same team for two weeks. It's about attrition, staying healthy, managing your roster, kind of figuring out what you are, especially first third to two- thirds of the season, right? Down the stretch, you start putting your rotations in to feel like playoff basketball.That's different coaching. Playoff basketball coaching, Spolstra, Steve Kerr PERSON, the difference makers. That's about adjustments. That's about sleeping about four hours a night, late April, May, and early June. That's different basketball. Go Google the criticisms of Budenholzer and Darvinham in Atlanta and the criticisms of Boodenholzer and Ham PERSON.And it was mostly Boodenholzer in Milwaukee GPE. Remember that series? Ham PERSON was gone by that time. Remember that series against the heat when Jimmy Butler was averaging almost 40? And they didn't make adjustments? That got Boottenholzer PERSON run out of town.But if you look at the criticism of Darwin Ham with the Lakers ORG, and I defended him, I thought he was good enough. It's a rookie head coach, a rookie anything, you're learning on the job. I thought he was good enough. It's a rookie head coach, a rookie anything. You're learning on the job. I thought he was good enough. But the knock was he stuck to things. He didn't make adjustments.They outplayed Denver for 70% of the series, and it was a gentleman's suite. They couldn't beat Denver ORG. By the way, Denver, well-coached, better a roster, but excellent at adjustments. How do I know that? Have you watched the Minnesota ORG series? Look at the adjustments.Malone and the Denver ORG staff have made in that series. The last two games don't even look like the first two. It's like a different sport. That's adjustment. Steve Kerr beating Boston GPE in the finals. They flew out to Boston GPE.The series, by game four on, didn't even look like the first three games. Spolstra PERSON's legendary at this. Popovich PERSON was where you can be outplayed for several games and then tweak, adjust, rotation changes, offensive changes, and you take the series over. It's never been Booneholtzer PERSON's thing. So it is interesting.The Lakers ORG wanted that out. We're looking for a grinder. If I got replaced and Fox ORG said, you know, we're looking for somebody that really is committed to the craft. Probably mean I mailed it in.Didn't do prep. Showed up just on time for the show. So this is, go back and look. Google it yourself, all the stories on the Ham-Boodenholzer relationship, Atlanta, Milwaukee GPE. That was a little bit. And I know it's sort of in, you know, in the Beltway LOC, you know, inside baseball talk.But the knock was, it wasn't a great adjusting staff. They were just getting worked in big spots. I don't know. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but when you get replaced and something gets out about your new, your old employer's looking for sort of a new type of employee.I mean, if you get fired and your former employer says, you know, we're looking for somebody that gets along well with others, you probably didn't. We're looking for somebody who's willing to adjust on the fly. You probably were rigid. So that's just, when I saw that term, that got out. That is something the Lakers ORG wanted out.For the record, J.J. Reddick, Sam Cassell PERSON. Shams PERSON has it out. Three names up for the Laker ORG job. The first one listed. J.J. Reddick. Have to have a conversation with J.J.J. whendick. Have to have a conversation with JJ PERSON when he gets that job.That first press conference, hopefully he's got that hat in the right direction. J. Mack PERSON with a do. No, no, no, no, no. Turn on the news.

Speaker 71556.34s - 1558.72s

This is the herd line news.

Speaker 81560.52s - 1561.38s

All right, listen.

Speaker 71561.46s - 1562.9s

Well, we'll talk about LeBron in a moment.

Speaker 91562.9s - 1565.18s

But let's start with the Atlanta Falcons ORG.

Speaker 01565.38s - 1567.86s

They went from having no quarterback four months ago

Speaker 71567.86s - 1600.92s

to being loaded at the position now with Kirk Cousins and free agency and then drafting Michael Pennix Jr. Cousins PERSON was confused and frustrated at the time of the pick and was recently asked whether there was any beef with Atlanta ORG for the move. He said, I don't think it's helpful. We're trying to win a Super Bowl EVENT, and it's hard enough.This isn't a foreign concept. There's an awareness that this is the NFL ORG. Anything can happen. Kirk being very, very diplomatic, Colin PERSON. This continues to be a big water cooler topping, I think, around any NFL ORG.

Speaker 81600.92s - 1605.52s

If you've made more than Tom Brady in your career and have never sniffed a Super Bowl EVENT,

Speaker 91605.66s - 1608.74s

I don't want to hear about your discomfort about a talented backup.

Speaker 01609.06s - 1613.26s

When you're an old guy off Achilles surgery, get over it. I like Kirk PERSON. Get over it.

Speaker 81614.62s - 1660.42s

You have monetized the position as well as anybody, and you deserve respect for that. I like Kirk PERSON. He is, I've said before, he gets all the worship and love DAC ORG gets and they're the same quarterback. Kirk's a better thrower, Dak's a better mover. Same quarterback. One is a star in the helmet. Kirk PERSON's does a really good job. But you don't as an older quarterback off an Achilles surgery who can't win multiple playoff games when you've had great talent around you attimes. You don't get this complaint. I'm going to have a backup who, if you go down again or in camp, it feels like two, three games in. I mean, what if Aaron doesn't feel like three games in? You're like, Aaron is not leaving the pocket. You know, the Jets are going to have to say, trade deadline, do we want to go get a young guy in case Aaron goes down?

Speaker 91668.52s - 1683.38s

So it's like, I'm sorry, being a little quarterback heavy in the quarterback room, I'm okay with it. Yeah, by the way, who's the highest paid guy on the Falcons roster? You want to take a crazy guess? Kirk Cousin. Oh, yeah, interesting. So it came time to draft another quarterback and they didn't check in with their highest paid employee on the roster. I mean, we're talking about a front office. Hold on, a front office who has accomplished Jack Squat in the NFL ORG. Find somebody in that

Speaker 01683.38s - 1701.86s

front office who's done anything, Colin. They could have had Bill Belichick PERSON, this guy who, I don't know, he's been in the brains behind, what, half a dozen Super Bowls in New Orleans GPE? He's won a lot. You think Bill Belichick PERSON would have done this nonsense? Rahim Morris' age doesn't start with a seven. I'm sorry.

Speaker 81702.3s - 1703.22s

We're a defensive coach.

Speaker 91703.22s - 1707.84s

You love a good defensive coach. Listen, I get it. Hey, listen, I've said, I'm dying defensive coach your favorite you love a good defensive coach I don't know I'm listen I get it

Speaker 81707.84s - 1717.1s

hey listen I've said I'm dying on this hill Atlanta ORG's going to win the division and by Thanksgiving you're going to be like they were probably going to win the division without penics right

Speaker 91717.1s - 1718.14s

if they got Kirk Cousins

Speaker 81718.14s - 1720.28s

their win total was going to go up anyway

Speaker 91720.28s - 1721.36s

and then they'll go to the playoffs

Speaker 81721.36s - 1722.84s

lose the first game

Speaker 91722.84s - 1732.72s

Cousins PERSON will be flummix then you'll be like hey it was worth it. Now, Kirk, you back up and let's go with Michael. Oh, after one year you're dusting him. So you're going to pay him $100 million for one year of service.

Speaker 81732.88s - 1744.52s

You got to be somewhat emotionally remote if you're a GM in the NFL ORG. You can't be buddies with your players. It's not the job. It's not the NBA ORG. We're not coddling you. It's like, hey, we cut people here.Yeah, just like Belichick and Brady.

Speaker 91744.84s - 1747.02s

Never had dinner, by the way, in 20 years.

Speaker 81747.22s - 1748.4s

Didn't have dinner one time.

Speaker 91748.54s - 1750.4s

And I'm worried about Kirk Cousin's PERSON feelings.

Speaker 81752.44s - 1765.98s

I mean, Brady literally did a documentary after 20 years where teammates like Wes Welker PERSON said he was treated like a dog. It was embarrassing. I think Kirk can be okay, being a little uncomfortable in camp for an hour. All right.

Speaker 91766.04s - 1775.6s

Let's move on to the Boston Celtics ORG, who go up 3-1 last night with a win over the hobbled calves. Donovan Mitchell PERSON did not play, which was extremely disappointing for me.

Speaker 01776.24s - 1778.68s

Tatum had 33, 11, and 5.

Speaker 111778.76s - 1780.16s

I guess you can't pick him apart today.

Speaker 81780.32s - 1796.94s

Well, he's good against the backups. Really good performance. Jalen Brown had 27. Celtics go up 3-1. They should ice the series in Boston on Monday. I'm sorry, on Wednesday.It's weird.

Speaker 91797.02s - 1800.08s

Their path is going to be like a cakewalk to the finals.

Speaker 81800.08s - 1803.1s

Well, yeah, because the East LOC is awful and it's beat up.

Speaker 91803.52s - 1811.44s

No Jimmy Butler, no Donovan Mitchell at the end, maybe no OG healthy, Brunson, Hobbled, Julius Randall, Mitchell Robinson PERSON.

Speaker 81811.58s - 1815.68s

Yeah, they're going to, there's no, but they would, I think they would have done this mostly anyway.

Speaker 91816s - 1826.32s

But my question is, when it's this easy, what happens when you face Denver, Minnesota, OKC ORG that have been in these battles and these physical,

Speaker 81828.62s - 1832.52s

combative series, and you're out there cakewalking past the Cavs without Donovan?

Speaker 91832.7s - 1837.8s

Well, it's weird. They got Chris Taps Porzingis PERSON coming back for the finals. I mean, I know we're penciling them in, but...

Speaker 81837.8s - 1838.86s

No, I mean, Boston GPE's good.

Speaker 91838.86s - 1839.78s

He's going to be healthy. I'm not...

Speaker 81839.78s - 1842.52s

I think Boston GPE probably should win the title, right?

Speaker 91843.24s - 1847.64s

I mean, Denver ORG's going to be spent from the series, and then they're going to struggle with the Mavs ORG next round. Yeah.

Speaker 81848.6s - 1849.84s

You like how I got the Mavs ORG in there?

Speaker 91850.76s - 1851.84s

Okay, see, just...

Speaker 81851.84s - 1890.92s

I'll be honest. I don't... I root for stories. You and I root for stories. I don't care about teams. I root for stories.I didn't break in my heart when the Lakers ORG didn't make the finals. I think the Nicks are a much better story were than the Lakers ORG. The Knicks beating Indiana ORG is better for us. So I'm rooting for stories. I don't care about cities and teams. Like Boston, New York, and the Eastern Conference Finals EVENT,that's good for us. Indy Boston GPE is not? Not really. But I will tell you this. I think Oklahoma City is much easier to root for for me than Dallas ORG. Young, kind of considering how young they were.

Speaker 91891.76s - 1893.78s

They're so one-dimensional. No, I mean.

Speaker 81893.92s - 1895.66s

It was SGA ORG and that's it.

Speaker 91896.5s - 1897.34s

That was your team.

Speaker 81897.34s - 1898.56s

It seemed to work okay last night.

Speaker 91898.72s - 1906.08s

One team can hit free throws. They're free. Just let me know when you want me to unload on Luca PERSON. Because you know that's my guy. But I got to keep it real. I will. You like a lot of guys that don't to unload on Luca PERSON. Because you know that's my guy. But I got to keep it real. Like, I will...

Speaker 81906.08s - 1915.1s

You like a lot of guys that don't pan out. I mean, I murdered him on my podcast this morning. I had to. I'm sorry. And I'll kill him here on the air. He was terrible last night.But don't get me started.

Speaker 91915.2s - 1915.6s

But here's...

Speaker 01915.6s - 1935.24s

How about this interesting third story, Colin PERSON? Yeah. So LeBron was spotted last night in Cleveland GPE. Yes, he took in the Cavs Boston GPE game with his wife, and he brought his own bottle of wine. I don't know if you saw that kind of funny.Obviously, anything LeBron PERSON does is going to drive speculation. The crowd went wild.

Speaker 81935.4s - 1953s

Well, maybe he just wants to go to the game, and there's nothing to read into it. He flew to Cleveland GPE to go to a basketball game? He's got a home there. Yes, also accurate. By the way, I love his wife's hat. She doesn't look that happy to be there.Maybe it was a business trip. Oh, recruiting Jonathan Missesville PERSON.

Speaker 91953s - 1954.44s

Well, I mean, she doesn't look that happy.

Speaker 81955.58s - 1959.04s

Maybe she'd rather be doing something else. I don't know. I mean, it's tough to tell.

Speaker 91959.04s - 1961.5s

I mean, he could have sat in a suite, but it...

Speaker 81961.5s - 1962.46s

Yeah, he went courtside.

Speaker 91962.62s - 1962.88s

He made...

Speaker 81962.88s - 1964.38s

Very high profile spot.

Speaker 91964.68s - 1966s

Made sure everybody

Speaker 81966s - 1968.28s

knew he was there, moving,

Speaker 91968.46s - 1973.72s

traveling out east. And it was the same day his son, Bronny, was at the combine yesterday.

Speaker 81973.88s - 1993.9s

Remember we talked about his measure. Hey, how about that? Do you hear the story about that? Well, his vertical, 40 and a half, not bad. That's great. That's really good. During a three-point drill, we got video here. He shot 19 of 25, a very McIntyre PERSON-ish.By the way, that is why people like him. He's a willing defender. Smart kid can shoot threes. You know what the Lakers ORG need? Somebody that can shoot threes.

Speaker 91994.32s - 1997.62s

Let's settle down on whether or not he's going to help the Lakers ORG immediately.

Speaker 81997.62s - 2008.8s

More interestingly. Spot up three-shooter, this team, they're moving off. They need three shooters. I really don't have a problem with brawny being on this team. Well, wait, wait, I think you're jumping the gun here.

Speaker 92010.3s - 2026.72s

What if the Cav ORG said, you know what? Hometown Story, Brony and LeBron PERSON, could we get them here? Hey, LeBron, we will draft Brony PERSON. What if the Cav ORG said that? We will take him? Will you come here?Is there a world where LeBron ends up in Cleveland next year? And we're just speculating.

Speaker 82026.72s - 2035.16s

I just looked at his wife. She didn't look happy in Cleveland. She'd stay in L.A. and, you know, like hang out with LeBron on weekends. Like, you know, you go to Chicago all the time.

Speaker 92037.16s - 2044.04s

I'm not going to totally rule out Cleveland GPE. This is a very high profile. Hey, everybody, I'm drinking wine, courtside.

Speaker 82044.1s - 2069.74s

But that would be, listen, I'm pro LeBron and I'm pro mobility. Cleveland GPE, Miami, Cleveland, L.A., back to Cleveland. That's Durantish. Like, he's in L.A. GPE It's great for the brand. They get into the playoffs. He's living in a mansion in Beverly Hills GPE. Life's pretty good. I'm not bouncing around the country for another title. You might not. What if he wants to? Well, I don't know that. He wins's pretty good. I'm not bouncing around the country for another title. You might not. What if he wants to? Well, I don't know that. He wins everywhere he goes. I think he would

Speaker 92069.74s - 2074.54s

as a coach. Just give me everything I want, please. Thank you. I'm LeBron PERSON. Oh, that's nothing wrong with that.

Speaker 82074.92s - 2078.74s

Well, you can ask for everything. It doesn't mean you're going to get everything. I ask for everything all

Speaker 92078.74s - 2088.04s

the time. Yeah. I'm very demanding. LeBron's opt-out date is June 29th, NBA draft a couple days earlier.

Speaker 82088.7s - 2088.98s

Yeah.

Speaker 92089.22s - 2092.38s

I guarantee you, if the Lakers ORG can get brawny, let's put it down.

Speaker 82092.46s - 2093.3s

They're drafting brawny.

Speaker 92093.5s - 2093.84s

I don't know.

Speaker 82093.92s - 2095.06s

I need to go on the calendar.

Speaker 92095.26s - 2098.7s

I think I might be hosting the show that day.

Speaker 82099.12s - 2100.26s

June 29th is Saturday.

Speaker 92101.18s - 2102s

But June 28th, that hosting.

Speaker 82102s - 2109.72s

You're certainly welcome to host the show Saturday. June 28th, that will be on. It won't be on, but you can make believe. I will be, oh, I can't wait, the LeBron speculation and the Olympics EVENT.

The big announcement yesterday, the Cowboys, will visit the Browns in America GPE's Game of the Week on Fox on September 8th. It'll also be Tom Brady's debut in the broadcast booth alongside Kevin Burkart PERSON. The entire NFL ORG schedule will be released Wednesday night on NFL. Hmm.

Speaker 82364.24s - 2781.82s

A lot of pressure on those two teams. That's the pressure game of the weekend. Dallas with Mike McCarthy PERSON, there's some real pressure to win and win early because we know Philadelphia ORG's improved. Washington ORG will be better.And Cleveland, Deshawn Watson, Joe Burroughs PERSON back, Baltimore is rolling, Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh ORG. That is the pressure game in the league. The only person that's really safe, we know that Kevin Stefansky, the coach of Cleveland GPE, is excellent. So is the GM. A lot of pressure in that game.So I saw this headline. This is interesting headline. And we talked about this last week. One of the things I hear all the time is, well, next man up to get the bag. No, that's not, that's not, that's not the way it works. The nextquarterback contract up does not automatically get the bag. You should overwhelmingly strongly consider drafting another quarterback before giving a good quarterbackthe bag. And so Jared Goff got a $212 million extension by the Lions ORG appropriate and the right call to a very, very sharp young front office. The headline says, well, where does that leave Dak Prescott and the Cowboys ORG? I don't know. Those are two different conversations.Because Jared Goff's a much better quarterback than back Prescott PERSON. Jared Goff's been to a Super Bowl and two NFC ORG championships. Same conference. Rams in the same conference as Dallas ORG. Lions ORG in the same conference.Can't argue about, well, that guy did it there. No, NFC ORG, two NFC championships. Goff's done it with two head coaches, multiple coordinators, two rosters, two different divisions. Goffs PERSON has much better throw over the football. Goff's contract extension should not look like Dax PERSON because they're not the same player. In fact, I would argue as Goff PERSON has become a steady veteran, better than steady, he's progressed in his career, gotten older, he's actually gotten better in the playoffs.His last five playoff games, six touchdowns, no picks, and a pass-a-rating at 103. So as Goff PERSON is learning the position, he's become more dependable, more reliable, a better playoff quarterback. The opposite's been true for DAC ORG. He is plateaued, and I'd argue he's getting worse in the playoffs. If you look at Dak's last four playoff games, three of the four, he's had a passer ratingunder 90, two of the four, under 70. Horrible. So those are different conversations. This idea, well, he's next to. What about Kirk Cousins PERSON? Kirk Cousins PERSON contract.Go look at Kurt Cousins deal. Atlanta ORG in a horrible division, Kirk Cousins PERSON can be an absolute difference maker. As Jared Goff has been a difference maker in Detroit GPE, winning playoff games.So this idea that is, well, I mean, Gough PERSON got his, then Dak PERSON should cross his fingers that it gets an extension. Now, I'm not saying DAC ORG won't have a market. I mean,the Raiders ORG didn't get a quarterback. They're going to need one. They'd absolutely, he would create stability like Kirk Cousins PERSON will create stability for Atlanta ORG. Not greatness, but stability. Dack could create stability for an unstable franchise, the Raiders ORG.But, you know, Detroit hadn't won a playoff game in 32 years. And golf goes into town, and between him and Dan Campbell PERSON have created a culture of toughness and stability that the city and the franchise are feeding off of. What's interesting is, don't even consider Goff and Dak PERSON the same. Start considering Goff and Matt Stafford much closer. Yes, I said it. Now, I think Stafford PERSON is a greater overall talent.Both are number one picks. But Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford PERSON, since the trade, where Stafford went to a franchise with Momentum and McVeigh PERSON, and Goff went to a tire fire with a young Dan Campbell PERSON, who we all thought the opening press conference was a little amateurish. Both Stafford and Goff have 24 wins.Goff PERSON is more accurate with completion percentage. Goff PERSON has more touchdown passes, the same number of giveaways. So Goff and Staff PERSON touchdown passes, the same number of giveaways. So Goff and Stafford PERSON are a much closer comp than Goff and DAC ORG. The numbers I'll tell you,Dak's comp is Kirk Cousins PERSON. Goff PERSON's comp, statistically, is Matt Stafford PERSON. And I would argue, Stafford's got the better coach now. Okay? Now, Detroit GPE's got the better coach now okay now Detroit's got the better old line although last year the Rams rebuilt the old line and this year looksreally good but you know this this this idea in pro sports pay great money very infrequently and if you do that and pay it like in Detroit to Amar on St. Brown PERSON, Penae Sewell, Jared Goff, maybe a great pass rusher, that will ensure that a franchise has flexibility going forward. When you're Dallas and you overpay DAC ORG, they have no cap space. They got no cap space.Or if you're like New orleans you kept kicking it down the road they got no cap space they can't make any moves for derrick car so you have to pay the right selectpeople very few in Detroit GPE you pay golf you pay Panaisul you pay a star weapon and you pay a pass rusher maybe a center if you love him but there's about five guys in this league you pay. What you don't do is overpay a money for a B quarterback.I don't consider Goff PERSON to be a B quarterback. I consider him to be an A quarterback. And that's, I've been going back and forth on this for years. I think Goff is a top 10 quarterback. Now, he may be closer to 10 than 5, but I don't buy for a second.Both he and Stafford are number one picks for a reason. Dak was a fourth round pick for a reason. Kirk Cousins was a fourth round pick for a reason. So don't you think it's interesting that Dak and Kirk Cousins both fourth round picks? Their stats are dead even after all these years.And that Stafford and Gough both number one picks all these years later. Their stats are even, because their talents closer. Goff and Stafford are different than cousins and Dack PERSON. They're different. They're better. They throw a better football.J. Mack, you look at me inquisitively today. Nick Wright next hour.

Speaker 92782.9s - 2787.44s

Goff is better than Dak PERSON. That's not even close. You say that, okay. Yeah, yeah. I mean, go look at...

Speaker 82787.44s - 2790.5s

So, Goff got basically $53 million a year.

Speaker 92790.84s - 2793s

And I think that's in the marketplace,

Speaker 82793.26s - 2796.62s

relative to the stars. He shouldn't get Mahomes or Allen or Lamar PERSON.

Speaker 02796.96s - 2800.4s

Fair. But I think 53, low 50s is where Goff PERSON should be.

Speaker 92800.4s - 2807.96s

Okay. So, based on what Goff PERSON got, where do you put Dak and Tua PERSON, relative to what golf got?

Speaker 82807.96s - 2811.48s

Dak, I would do closer to 43. Tua would be in the threes.

Speaker 92811.54s - 2816.12s

With 43? So Goff is a $10 million a year better quarterback than Dak PERSON?

Speaker 82816.56s - 2818.32s

Yeah. Well, isn't this...

Speaker 92818.32s - 2820.76s

You just said he was closer to 10 and DAC is like 12.

Speaker 82821.52s - 2822.76s

How could that be a 10 million dollar?

Speaker 92822.82s - 2828.32s

No, no, no. You put DAC at 12. I think Goff's top 10. I don't think DAC is top. I don't think

Speaker 82828.32s - 2832.98s

Dak is a top-10 quarterback. Okay, fine. But let's think you have Gough 9.

Speaker 92833.36s - 2836.44s

Dak can't be much further than 11, 12, 13, 14, right?

Speaker 82836.96s - 2843.26s

Big gap between 9, 8, 9, or 14, 15. That's a big size. One guy's average, one guy's
