1:35

payroll at all the baseball .

1:36

Well , it goes to show you all about

1:39

talent , baby . But before we even

1:41

move further , let's

1:43

talk about , let's , let me say , some

1:45

of the topics that we're diving into . We got

1:47

a little bit of college football Andrews

1:50

feeling , you know , hyped about it . We

1:52

got a little bit of NFL

1:54

football . A little bit of football , a little

1:57

bit of scandal it's happening in

1:59

there , you know , mixing up a little bit . We

2:01

got the NBA preseason starting

2:03

off . We got Wembe and Chet , you

2:05

2:08

into that . We got a what's

2:10

it called ? Drake and Joe Budden going back and

2:12

forth . That it basically Drake going at it with

2:14

anybody who Won't smoke . He's out here

2:16

2:18

smoke , free smoke . Baby . Trying

2:20

I'm trying to have much of an

2:27

2:29

a , the Toronto Canadians

2:31

, they do . They go , dog broski

2:33

2:36

a lot of tiktok chest and they're

2:38

like what's up dog , what's up broski

2:40

? Don't get me cheese stuck here , man . I'm

2:43

like , oh god .

2:44

You're from Jamaica .

2:45

It's a mix of British English . It's a

2:47

bit of British English , jamaican

2:50

, patsy , and American

2:52

. They just and maybe French

2:54

, canadian as well they mix everything in there

2:56

in a pot . But , uh , let's

2:59

get the show on . The road I had to go on hit

3:01

us with what ?

3:03

let's , let's talk about the Colorado buffalos . I

3:05

got home from work last night early . It was

3:07

29 to nothing . They're

3:09

being Sanford At

3:11

half time 29 nothing . And then I

3:13

was getting cleaned up ill food turned about

3:15

to the game it's 29 19

3:18

. Yeah , this game's over . I'm gonna bet

3:20

that's what

3:22

we all thought . Wake up and Stanford

3:25

came back and beat him in overtime . That

3:27

is the biggest slice of humble

3:29

pie if you're up 29 , nothing at

3:31

home and you lose

3:34

that game . I mean the . Hey

3:36

, look the odds been great for the , for

3:38

the college football scene . No denying

3:40

that . The energy , the , the

3:42

charisma , the confidence

3:44

, awesome , I love . Talk to Dion

3:46

, talk to Dion , the best , it's just

3:48

awesome . So refreshing to hear this

3:50

. To lobby or root for him to

3:52

lose 29 to 0 after

3:55

that lead , that's a

3:57

nice . That's not a slice of humble pie , that

4:00

is the whole pie .

4:01

Well , here's the crazy thing , right . It's not like Sanford's

4:03

, that great , no well , they found

4:06

something else working for them and they kept going back

4:08

to it over and over again . But here's a crazy

4:10

thing . Colin says

4:13

as a head coach , your side of the

4:15

ball should always be ready to go . Dion

4:17

side of the ball is not offense as defense

4:19

, he's one of the greatest cornerbacks that ever

4:22

played a game . A Super Bowl champion

4:24

, or multiple , multiple teams set

4:27

multiple records and what's

4:30

it called ? The defense is just not

4:32

playing up to keeping up the snuff with the

4:34

offense . And and I'm

4:37

not a football fan

4:39

, I'm not a football coach by any means but

4:41

it seems like the Buffalo defense

4:43

, colorado , buffalo's defense

4:45

, need to get back to the fundamentals and

4:47

Basically tackle , wrap

4:50

around . Don't let guys bounce off you

4:52

like ping-pong balls , because that's what all I'll see . The

4:54

Cardinals were running a lot of crossing routes

4:57

and Colorado seems to not

4:59

just be able to tackle these guys like they

5:01

got Slick fingers , slicked

5:03

hands and they like roll themselves up

5:05

in oil , which is , you know , you

5:08

play , you

5:10

just try yourself , as a college football

5:12

team , is a football team period to be

5:14

um , a 4-quarter football

5:17

team . All four quarters go from the first

5:19

quarter to the fourth quarter . Play

5:21

tough , play hard , execute

5:23

, execute , execute . And Dion

5:26

prides himself in execution but His

5:29

how to ball the defense is not executing

5:31

. They seem to . I mean , they're

5:34

playing in the pack 10 , which you know . They're

5:36

not known for their tremendous defense . All

5:38

the games are always high score and whatever all

5:40

the teams that pick play in the pack 12 , high

5:42

flying teams and they

5:45

never really play a great defense

5:47

, but they score on you a ton . And

5:50

Dion , well packed , is

5:52

it ? Packed 12 ? A packed test by 12

5:54

. It's really packed , okay , pack 12 . So

5:57

you know there has

5:59

to be some Dion

6:01

. Your side of the ball needs to get , you know , fine-tuned

6:04

a little bit . Your one and three in

6:06

your last three games .

6:08

Yeah .

6:08

I'm a fan . I'm a fan of what you've done

6:10

for college football , what you , what you will

6:12

do for college football . But that

6:15

rope , as a defensive minded head

6:17

coach , that's what we'll put it out there

6:19

, as you need to have

6:22

these guys on the tight leash . They need

6:24

to tackle a lot better than they are tackling

6:26

in the second half some games . I actually

6:28

said you can't be losing games when

6:31

you can't be losing games , high-scoring

6:33

games like that , when your coach , as

6:35

a defensive minded coach , it's not a Lincoln

6:37

Riley , it's not , you know , michael

6:40

Fennix Jr I don't know the coach's

6:42

name over there and Washington

6:45

so those games

6:47

they're gonna run you out of the stadium needs

6:49

to play some great defense and maybe keep

6:51

Travis Hunter on one side of the ball . He's

6:53

great , sure , but playing so many snaps

6:55

, you need energy . Either put him on

6:57

defense and make him the greatest corner of college

7:00

football has ever seen , or put him on offense , make

7:02

him the greatest wide receiver college football has ever seen

7:04

. But as it stands right

7:06

now , the team can't do both

7:08

. The team's not ready , it's not capable

7:10

.

7:10

You're four and two now , so

7:13

nothing that they lost to you , right ? They

7:15

lost Oregon . They've lost to USC

7:19

in USC .

7:19

So four and three , four and three . So

7:22

tighten up that belt , cowboy . Get

7:24

on out there . Man , do your thing on the defensive

7:27

side of the ball . You got your door

7:29

, sanders , the offense is fine , but the

7:31

defense 25 , if the

7:33

unsanders is watching this point .

7:34

Man , thanks a lot . I'm different boys . I really didn't

7:37

start up the game for defense .

7:40

Your defensive minded coach . You need to motivate these

7:42

guys .

7:42

It's not necessarily coaching , I think motivation is

7:44

the least of what is concerned .

7:46

I think the unsanders motivates very well you

7:49

know they motivate as four quarters in a game

7:51

and you could .

7:53

You could motivate more . We want . They saw the brother and

7:55

perform .

7:56

Your team lose the motivation . A second

7:58

and a second half that they lost motivation . They just

8:00

did you . They can't tackle . What's that called

8:02

?

8:03

Sandwich is being better .

8:05

No , stanford , exploiting what they

8:07

see out there . If you're playing zone , they're exploiting

8:09

your zone and clearly it's not

8:11

working for you . Put a scheme out there . Clearly

8:13

that fit the guys that play play for

8:15

you . That's , that's it . But uh

8:18

, let's keep it pushing . Man , the

8:20

state of colorado having

8:22

a terrible , terrible month really and

8:25

, uh , terrible week Because

8:27

the browncoast lost Denver Brownco's

8:29

, they lost their one five . Now , sean Payton

8:31

, right , all that big talk lost to the Jets

8:34

, that you know that

8:36

that could have gone either way . No , losing

8:38

to the Jets , but losing to

8:41

losing to , uh , the KC

8:43

the way you did . It's like the offense

8:45

had no rhythm whatsoever , couldn't

8:47

get going . The running game was fine , but the

8:49

passing game , total garbage . Bro

8:52

, what's happening , sean Payton ? You came

8:54

out here guns of lazy . He's looking for

8:56

that number one pick at this point . He can't . Well

8:58

, you still gotta pay , uh , russell Wilson

9:00

. So that's uh .

9:02

No , they'll . They'll buy him out this year and

9:04

then they'll be done .

9:05

So you feel Russell Wilson's gonna give up all that money ?

9:08

No , they , the Broncos , have an option . They have the

9:10

option to pay him . I think it was like the 37

9:12

million dollars for this . For

9:14

If they do a buyout , if

9:17

they don't , if they don't Buy

9:19

him out before a certain date at the end of this year , I

9:21

think it's like they have to pay him like the full

9:23

amount , which is like something like 80 something

9:26

or more than that Way , more than that . Anyway

9:28

, I don't know the exact numbers , but yeah

9:30

, they're gonna let him go this year . In other words , they're letting them

9:32

go . He's done , you'll get his money . Then he'll

9:35

be gonna be out .

9:36

Isn't that ? That's crazy . So here's

9:40

the crazy part . All right , bill

9:42

Belichick , yes , sucking

9:44

right now . Yes , they're saying Tom Brady

9:46

was the reason why he was successful all those

9:48

years . Okay , that's a . Wilson

9:51

goes to Denver , denver's

9:53

garbage , two years in a row , piquero

9:55

. So two end of the spectrums here

9:58

. One end is given the coach all this

10:00

love For being

10:02

able to pivot and doing things , and then

10:04

one end given the quarterback all this love .

10:07

She like would you know , smith , and what Piquero's doing ? Do you know

10:09

Smith ?

10:09

Yes , yes , well , piquero's

10:11

doing with you know , smith , it's like

10:13

whoa , okay , it was early . You

10:15

. What time waiting , one time waiting . Did with

10:17

up your bell check . Wow , okay , wow , okay , it was early

10:20

, you it wasn't . You know the head

10:22

coach , so that's

10:24

just crazy . But uh , sean

10:26

Peyton , I know it's year one , but

10:28

you came out their guns of blazing

10:31

talking about every Everybody's

10:34

coach , up and down , and what they can

10:36

and cannot do , bro , yeah

10:38

, just don't talk crap about it . Keep

10:41

your glasses on , look straight ahead

10:43

and say nothing else big old , big old .

10:45

He gets the whole pie too for the home

10:47

pie slice the whole one . But you

10:49

know , you know , just because he's having a bad year doesn't mean

10:51

he's not gonna be successful there . It's like , remember

10:54

, with jimmy johnson when he came to the

10:56

dow's cowboys his first year , he only won a game

10:58

. Well , no , andrew , there's

11:00

one game he won that entire year and two

11:02

years later he's no , no , andrew win the super

11:04

.

11:05

I'll say this what when jimmy

11:07

johnson moved ? When jimmy johnson came to the cowboys

11:09

, they were terrible , of course , and

11:11

he was back then . You've given

11:14

it long leash , long

11:16

leashes had coaches . Nowadays , if

11:18

shawarma the big goes to a terrible

11:21

Rams team turns them around , boom . Mike

11:23

McGannell's goes to uh , the

11:25

dolphins . Two year a year . Two

11:27

year turning around , boom . Sean

11:29

Peyton , super boy winning coach . How

11:32

long at least do you think he'd have if you can't

11:34

turn him around ? Because it's an offensive league now

11:36

what ?

11:37

okay . So then what do all those coaches

11:39

have in common that have been turned it around

11:41

?

11:41

they had a quarterback . Russell

11:44

wilson is a quarterback , his numbers of

11:46

tremendously improved .

11:47

He plays the quarterback position . No , no , no .

11:49

Not only did he play the quarterback position , he's

11:51

a super boy winning quarterback . Okay , so

11:53

by the team , that was mainly

11:56

by those standards . Sean

11:58

Peyton should turn this team around pronto , because

12:00

supposedly he fixed the offensive

12:02

offensive . Coaches are good at fixing the offensive

12:04

line Right , and

12:06

you know , you come in , you fixed

12:08

offensive line , you fixed a quarterback . That's

12:10

what he took the job to do . Okay , and

12:13

right now it's not happening . So , right

12:15

now it's not happening . No , it's not happening . Things not

12:17

going as they should , that's what they're gonna draft in the quarterback

12:19

. Who do you think so ? There's a

12:22

plethora of quarterbacks out there . There's

12:24

drake main , from uh , uh

12:27

, south Carolina , and

12:29

then there's , uh , michael

12:31

fennix , jr . And then there's , uh

12:33

, what's it called ? Caleb Williams , usc

12:36

. Those are , you know , the

12:38

top three names , didn't know . And

12:40

then you could add their shadoor sanders

12:42

. If he comes out , even those

12:44

fathers says he's not coming out . Who do you think

12:46

would best fit a shampaitin-esque system

12:49

? A guy with a big arm .

12:51

Yeah , you have to give the big arm . I'm asking true breeze

12:53

. True breeze wasn't that mobile , so it doesn't really need a

12:55

mobile quarterback . No times of change

12:57

. You do need a mobile quarterback . Could you breeze out as a mobile

12:59

buddy ?

12:59

still was doing very well . You need a mobile quarterback

13:02

. In his day and age , linebackers are coming in

13:04

fast , running like four fours . Get

13:07

the hell out the way if you can't run . But

13:11

you get smashed and you have a

13:13

very short career . But you know , let's

13:15

uh get get it moving out of

13:17

the state of colorado . And uh , football

13:20

wise funny , the Minnesota

13:22

Vikings . They have won one

13:24

game , one game and they

13:27

got all this talent . That's crazy . They

13:29

got an offensive mind of coach too .

13:31

Yeah , but a lot of their talents injured . This is Jefferson

13:33

out now for a while , yeah , yeah . So I

13:35

mean it's funny that like her cousins is

13:38

now like the hot topic of trade Demands

13:40

and ryan canna hill like

13:42

like what are the jets gonna do ?

13:44

the jet should take none of them . None of them , I agree

13:47

suck and go get the first year first

13:49

. First of all , traffic . I agree , I

13:51

called him that . I agree , build your team that

13:53

way , but will rob a solid

13:55

end up being a coach there . Yeah , he's

13:57

he willing to risk it ? I think they'll give another

13:59

year . Well , uh onto uh

14:02

. Who are they replacing with An

14:04

offensive minded head coach ? Yeah , somebody

14:06

from san francisco staff . Excuse

14:09

me , I got a bad cough San francisco

14:12

, san francisco and filia , 5 and odoni undefeated

14:14

teams in the nfl . Yeah , that's

14:16

crazy . There's , there's like them

14:19

. And then the rest of the league , the rest of the league . Okay

14:22

, canna cities , four and one , but

14:24

that's like it . The rest of the nfl is like three

14:26

and two or two and two . There's

14:28

like three teams that are separating themselves from the pack . Oh

14:31

, no , four , two . A fc teams are

14:33

four and one . Two nfc teams are five

14:35

and all . Yeah , the dolphins are

14:37

four and one and everybody else

14:39

is just boxing it out . The bills had a

14:41

terrible game against , uh , against

14:44

a jacksonville . Why do you think that was

14:46

?

14:47

that they're having .

14:47

What a bad the bills had a terrible game

14:50

in london at a tottenham stadium .

14:52

Chots on because well , because , well

14:54

, first off , the uh , they're complaining about

14:56

the field . Yes , they said it was a risk

14:58

, which is , I'm surprised , because I thought

15:00

that field is grass because

15:02

of the , the soccer team , because they all play on

15:04

.

15:04

They all play on grass . No , they can change it . They can

15:07

change the field , so why ?

15:08

would they change ? They're already

15:10

grass field and put

15:12

the the turf down .

15:15

I don't know . It's a bounce with you , probably

15:17

just played on the .

15:17

They just should have played on the grass .

15:19

Well , they probably didn't want the Grassfield

15:22

to be . You know , I , I mean I , I understand

15:24

.

15:24

I mean I was at the was it wasn't just the last

15:26

Super Bowl ? Uh , that was in arizona

15:28

, um , and they were complaining

15:31

about the field on that one too , like

15:33

it was just very slippery yeah . Was

15:35

that ? Was that the last Super Bowl ? Yeah , yeah it was very

15:37

slippery . Yeah , it's just , and they're , they're really

15:40

claiming to get the uh , the uh

15:42

, all the grass , and I guess , I

15:44

guess the NFL PA wants that as well . And

15:46

the NFL is like , well , I don't know , it's not that easy , and I'm

15:48

like , yeah , it is . I mean , you guys are

15:50

a multi-billion dollar company .

15:52

It's grass gross on grass man , you don't

15:54

have to be a multi-billion dollar company to just do

15:56

what needs to be done to correctly

15:59

make things happen . I agree , that's just it . I

16:01

just gotta get started , I like how it's

16:03

not that easy .

16:03

But yeah , like the foundations of football

16:05

, they all had grass until like what ? The 70s

16:08

? Well they're really . Other than that , every team

16:10

had grass . Andrew turf is easier to maintain

16:12

. Well , they seem to be doing it well for the first four

16:15

years of the NFL .

16:16

Because you don't have to cut it . It's

16:18

standard all the time , and

16:21

once the lines have been painted on , they just need

16:23

to repaint every now and then .

16:24

I'm just saying Simple

16:27

. It seemed to work well for the NFL for the

16:29

first like 40 , 50

16:31

years , until they had the multi-purpose

16:34

stadiums that started to come out .

16:36

Well , that's because owners decided

16:38

that they needed to find other ways to make money

16:40

. A stadium can just cannot just be for

16:42

one thing , one use . There's concerts

16:44

that are happening and real

16:47

grass gets destroyed during concerts because you're moving

16:49

lots of equipment in and out

16:51

of the arena . So they needed to

16:53

make good use of

16:55

their venues , not just for

16:58

the season .

17:01

Well , their product's going to suffer if all their high

17:03

quality players are going to injure on their garbage

17:05

turf .

17:06

Yeah the bill's got a lot of defensive

17:08

players injured , yeah , lots , and offense

17:10

couldn't move for nothing . Grass

17:12

would be nice . But besides that

17:14

it's also the fact that time

17:16

zone change , the bills didn't leave here until

17:19

Thursday night and London's

17:21

five hours . There's a five hour difference

17:24

from America and

17:26

you got to get adjusted

17:28

, otherwise you're not moving . But I

17:31

mean Josh Shalon towards like the

17:33

fourth quarter they tried . He put

17:35

up some big numbers , even though it's garbage time numbers . Put

17:37

up some big numbers , but you

17:40

guys got to . If you haven't

17:42

overseas game , you got to just find a way to get

17:44

there earlier , especially if you're just practicing

17:46

here , because Jacksonville had a whole week

17:49

there to prepare for

17:51

you to come . So they were obviously smoother

17:53

in transition versus you coming in the next

17:56

day underestimating them

17:58

when you need to win every game . Because the

18:00

first seed in the NFL , from

18:02

each division , the AFC , from

18:05

each league , the AFC and the

18:07

NFC , the number one overall seed

18:09

, gets a buy , not top

18:11

two , that's true . So you need

18:13

to . Every game counts so that we can

18:15

get a buy . So instead of playing

18:17

four or six games , you're

18:20

playing four games to get to that , to get to championship

18:22

. So keep that in mind . But

18:24

let's meander

18:27

and smooth that way on to the NBA

18:29

. The NBA preseason has started

18:31

. Also , hockey preseason has started

18:33

. Buffalo , that's Pittsburgh

18:36

. Pittsburgh , pittsburgh , pirate , pittsburgh .

18:38

Penguins Buffalo has never won a San Jacop

18:40

. They've been to the finals twice in their 50-something

18:43

plus years of existence . What is it 1970

18:45

, so what is it 2023 ? 53

18:48

? 53 years now of existence and they've

18:50

only been to the finals twice . Well

18:52

, it's all right 1975 , 1999

18:55

, and that's it . And then

18:58

the Vegas wins the championship . They're defending champions

19:00

in the middle league for six years .

19:01

They found a way to get players that care . No

19:05

, you got players that have been

19:07

outcast from every other

19:09

team and they came together .

19:10

They found it was us versus

19:13

them . They have a good system over there

19:15

, much better than .

19:16

Buffalo . It worked out , but

19:20

it worked out great for them . But

19:22

onto basketball . We

19:25

got Chet Chet

19:27

I don't know Chet's last name

19:29

Chet Holgram from

19:31

Oklahoma Thunders

19:33

, the Oklahoma Thunders , and Victor

19:36

Wimbanyama , the two towers

19:38

. They're supposed to be the next

19:40

two marquee players , but they're both

19:42

very , very , very skinny

19:44

players , very tall but very

19:46

skinny . How do you think they're

19:49

going to hold up to the test of time with

19:51

their bodies ? Andrew ?

19:54

Well , history is a great lesson

19:56

for us . Probably not long

19:58

Think about even like . I

20:01

think the skinniest player that I could think of is

20:03

Manu . Paul Sean Bradley were

20:05

both really skinny . They didn't really have very

20:07

successful careers . I imagine that Chet and Victor

20:09

are going to be a lot better than

20:12

those two .

20:12

Well , there's definitely better nutrition

20:16

now and

20:18

training that you can do to you know , hopefully

20:21

, but hopefully and long , get your career .

20:23

It's hard . I mean , not everybody can have

20:25

a career like Krimagul Jibar , who plays in the league

20:27

for like 20 years . Okay , well , let's

20:29

transition . And Kimu Aijuam

20:32

, you know like , have been centers that

20:34

have had very good long careers

20:36

.

20:37

Let's transition . Which one of them you think is going to

20:39

have a longer career ? Five-year career ?

20:42

Oh , I think Victor would I mean because Chet already

20:45

had a season injury last

20:47

year , okay , so he's already has

20:49

that on him . So if I had

20:51

to make a bet right now , it's Victor .

20:53

So would you also consider

20:55

Victor to have a successful career

20:57

if he has a longer career ?

20:59

Yeah , yeah , I mean , from everything that's

21:01

been shown already

21:04

, the fact that NBA they don't play defense very

21:06

much anyway .

21:07

It's hard to play defense when you're going on

21:09

both ends all the time . Offense defense

21:11

, one player , sure .

21:13

Of course I don't know how they did in the 80s and 90s

21:15

, but they seem to do it Well .

21:17

People couldn't shoot so well . In the 80s and 90s

21:19

they couldn't . They couldn't shoot so well . Really , there's

21:21

better shooters now . Look at stuff . What

21:23

are you talking about ?

21:24

How it's . English was an awesome shirt in the 80s

21:27

, and you have Chris Malone as a great

21:29

shooter . How ?

21:29

many points do they have ? You don't know . You

21:32

have to look that out , but there's way better shooters now

21:34

. How .

21:34

English almost averaged like 30 points a game in the

21:36

80s .

21:36

She was awesome , Andrew . There's way

21:39

better shooters now than there was in the 80s and

21:41

90s .

21:41

You don't think , larry Bird , larry Bird .

21:43

Larry Bird doesn't have half the points that Steph has

21:45

.

21:45

Larry Bird has played in the NBA for like 10 years now . Is

21:47

it because he had back ?

21:49

He's not a better shooter than Steph , okay or

21:51

Clay .

21:52

Or Clay Thompson or .

21:53

Clay Thompson .

21:54

You don't think Larry Bird's a better shooter than Clay Thompson ?

21:56

No , clay has a lot of points .

21:58

Splash bro , but they don't play defense

22:00

today .

22:01

They do . Golden State does play defense Look .

22:03

I love Clay .

22:04

Clay is the best defender . What was the best defender

22:06

on Golden State when he played ? That's not saying .

22:08

No , no , no , no , no , no , no , no no .

22:10

Yes , he was one of the best defenders on Golden

22:12

State .

22:13

Better than Jermaine , yes . Better than Jermaine yes

22:15

.

22:15

Jermaine kicked people in the balls . Clay

22:18

was asked to ask the guard . The next great

22:20

guy on the other team . Okay , he

22:23

was . These are facts . Look them

22:25

up . All right , jermaine plays

22:27

. Jermaine's the bully on the team

22:29

. He's a tough guy on the team .

22:31

He's a good defender .

22:33

That's like . Dennis Rodman and Bill

22:36

Ambeer bullies on the pistons , but

22:38

I do believe right now

22:40

this day and age 2023

22:42

, Andrew , they shoot the ball way

22:44

better than they did in the 80s . That is all

22:46

these kids that .

22:48

Nobody puts a hand in the face in today's NBA .

22:50

They do .

22:51

Okay .

22:52

You can agree with me or whatever . I can't even hand check

22:54

today , in today's NBA , you don't have to . They

22:57

can touch . No , they're playing body rolls

22:59

against them . I understand the shooters are way better

23:02

today than they were then . Don't live in

23:04

nostalgia ?

23:05

I'm not living in nostalgia , these kids . But they

23:07

say here to be like Chris Moore can't shoot

23:09

, or Larry Burr can't compete with others .

23:11

No , no , no , they're not no

23:14

, there's a few you know

23:16

outliers out there .

23:17

Michael Jordan , for example , is a great shooter , Andrew

23:19

there's a few outliers out there .

23:21

I understand that , but today's shooters

23:23

, the guys that you know , you don't , you

23:26

wouldn't , you wouldn't consider a shooter per se

23:28

as a better shooter than a shooter in the 80

23:30

. Wow , because you're

23:32

given no , there's no hand checks , but

23:35

you're given an opportunity .

23:35

Reggie Miller . Like you don't even think Reggie Miller

23:37

could compete in today's NBA . Reggie Miller was a singer .

23:39

I said I said . I said there's a few outliers

23:42

Of course there's always , but there's the

23:44

shooting today is better than it was back

23:46

then . It has to be , not have to

23:48

be . It is better . Washington NBA

23:50

right now . It's a skill sport these

23:52

kids that specialize in , just they play basketball

23:55

. They're not playing multiple sports , they're playing

23:57

basketball year round . There's

23:59

that . So that alone gives

24:01

you a hand up . It's like kids playing seven on seven

24:03

. That alone helps kids

24:05

play football better , because they're so specialized

24:08

, because that's all they do 24 , seven . They

24:10

go to camps during the summer . They play in their school

24:12

. They go , they have a personal trainer that that

24:15

helps them out . They have all these specialized

24:18

things that happen .

24:18

So they have to be all these specialized things to make their life

24:21

easier to perform and

24:23

make a better shoot . Yes , All

24:25

right , that's it . So today shooters

24:27

are better . I disagree

24:29

. I would still put Reggie Miller

24:31

against anybody on that .

24:33

You put Reggie Miller over Steph .

24:35

I would , and a viewpoint contest I

24:37

would . No , I think I would Okay .

24:38

Andrew , okay . Okay , that's one point . I think stuff , but you're talking

24:40

about stuff

24:43

.

24:43

He's probably arguably the greatest shooter

24:45

in big history . Anybody

24:48

else in the entire NBA yes , I would

24:50

put Reggie Miller . I'd sacrifice

24:52

any of them All right ?

24:53

Well , I put Reggie Miller against Steph

24:55

. Yes , that's what I'm doing

24:58

. That's why I'm making my

25:00

point . Okay , there's better

25:02

shooters today than there was shooters , that's

25:04

plural shooters . There's better shooters

25:07

today . Give me so . Give me one , dave

25:09

.

25:09

Dave Lillard .

25:11

I don't think he's better than Reggie Miller . He's a better shooter

25:13

than Reggie Miller . Okay For sure he's a better shooter

25:15

than Reggie Miller . Clay is a better shooter

25:17

than Reggie Miller . Clay got Reggie Miller

25:19

beating points .

25:20

Okay .

25:21

Reggie Miller when it's all said and done , maybe like a hundredth

25:24

when it's all said and done , with all the shooters

25:26

we got . Come on , put , put , put Victor

25:28

Wumbanyama better shooter than Reggie Miller , and

25:30

he's a seven footer .

25:31

He's just going to lay up every shot .

25:33

No , he can shoot too . Have you seen the boy's

25:35

shoot ? Yeah , he's a silky

25:37

shot . He's a better shooter than Reggie Miller . Come

25:39

on , okay . So onto , you know

25:41

I'll do which . I'll

25:44

agree with you that Victor

25:46

Wumbanyama is going to have a better career

25:48

because he has a better

25:51

foundation and spurs organization . That's

25:53

, that's why

25:55

I'll agree to that , and also

25:57

the fact that Chet Holmgren also

25:59

has had an injury plague season . So

26:02

you can't , you can't , you can't one

26:05

when you're a seven foot plus , once you

26:07

start getting injured and you don't get less

26:09

injured , they just continue to add

26:11

up and pile up . As the years go on and

26:13

as you continue to grow your body

26:15

, your body tends to wake , deceive you and wake

26:18

down on you a little bit more . So that's

26:21

only natural , but that's understandable . On

26:24

to popular topics . We

26:26

got that boy , drizzy Drake . Oh

26:28

, popular topics with the football as

26:30

well . Before we get to Drizzy Drake , we

26:32

got Buffalo Bill's

26:34

co workers not football

26:36

players , but co workers in

26:39

at ministerial positions

26:41

. You got the COO , john

26:43

Roth , out here smashing , smashing

26:46

the legal counsel , catherine

26:48

D'Angelo . D'angelo , I've

26:51

been told by somebody that Catherine's

26:53

a fox . So they weren't hiding

26:55

it , they weren't trying to perpetrate it .

26:57

There are pictures on the internet , so it's not

26:59

hard to .

27:00

No , I mean it's not public . It's public

27:02

information , but you have to go looking for said

27:05

information , it's not like . Here's

27:07

a picture on the .

27:07

Yeah , just click on the story , then you'll see the picture

27:09

. So we go ahead .

27:12

So you know , they were , they were , they were , they

27:14

were out in London and they take it

27:16

upon themselves to take a mini vacation

27:18

as a couple and be

27:20

be unadvisable and behavior

27:23

Very boisterous with their romance , I guess

27:25

. You can't do that if you work together , and

27:27

especially if one of you is married

27:29

, not in front of the whole territory , especially

27:31

if one of you is married , and this reminds me of

27:33

a situation with Emae Dooku

27:35

, ex-head coach of the Boston

27:37

Celtics . He's dating Neil Long

27:40

and he's smashing somebody that

27:43

he's working with . You can't do that , it doesn't

27:45

work like that . So , guys , you

27:48

gotta be cold for it out here if

27:50

you're trying to do business like that . All

27:52

right , you can be a COO , head of an organization

27:54

, chief Executive Officer I

27:57

mean chief , whatever officer you are you

27:59

can't be out here . You know , swinging

28:01

your sword , dingle it all , really nearly

28:03

you gotta tame that down

28:05

. But uh , that's all

28:07

right , what's up ? Excuse me . No

28:09

, that's all right . That's all I gotta say about that . But on

28:12

to uh Drake and Joe Budden . Drake

28:14

, you're my guy . You're an artist

28:17

, though You're public domain and you're public property

28:19

. If somebody analyzes

28:21

your album and says it's not the best , I'll

28:23

add your button . You shoot the shots that

28:25

you shot . It's like there's a personal underlying

28:28

beef with them , because if anybody else says

28:30

it , you just let her fly by . And also

28:33

, birdman , you need to leave these people

28:35

alone . Man , you can't be out here slinging around

28:37

, uh , intimidating threats . Like you know

28:39

, you may need to respect my artist

28:42

. Your artists are public domain . They're

28:44

out there . They're putting music for the people and

28:46

the people , included those in the media . Joe

28:48

Budden has the right to say what he said . He

28:51

didn't comment you personally . He just said he

28:53

didn't feel that that's your best album , best work

28:55

. The album's called For All

28:57

my Dogs . It's

29:00

not your best album , in his opinion

29:02

. Life goes on . You continue to

29:04

create from people that appreciate you . I'm

29:06

right here . And uh

29:08

, don't mind the Joe Budden's of the world or the critics

29:11

of the world , because clearly your

29:13

fans enjoy you . And if Joe Budden doesn't enjoy

29:15

you , life goes on . You're still making

29:17

money . You're still living your life , drake , and

29:19

that's all I got to say about that . And

29:21

there's no need for really back and forth between

29:24

you and Joe Budden , trying to

29:26

undress him as hard as you . And dress them

29:28

, call them . And he retired and we

29:31

didn't retire his jersey

29:33

. That's kind of like , uh , paul

29:35

Pierce . They told Paul Pierce what

29:38

you think you Kobe . Now You're not getting a

29:40

Kobe tour . You can't uh running

29:42

around here because you know

29:44

he thought he was hot stuff , paul Pierce or

29:46

the Boston Celtics , he thought he

29:48

was hot stuff .

29:49

He wasn't . He's good with the Celtics and I was

29:51

pretty much in . Then he went to the Brooklyn Nets , Didn't

29:53

do anything with him and Kevin Gardner was on

29:55

that team also . Yeah , yeah yeah , I mean it

29:57

was a decent team , it was competitive

29:59

, didn't even make it past the first round . Anyway

30:01

, I think it was .

30:03

You do , paul Pierce your garbage . That's

30:05

what Andrew was saying . He's not garbage , hot garbage , hot

30:07

poopoo garbage . That's what Andrew was saying . He

30:09

just wants to be professional about it .

30:11

I remember that one , this one game he went off

30:13

on the New Jersey Nets , like I think if he was 2002

30:16

, it was the playoffs and they were down

30:18

big in Boston and Paul Pierce

30:20

went nuts and they came back , won the game

30:22

. They ended up losing the series , but I remember when they

30:24

won that game it was like , oh , series over Boston's

30:26

the win . They're going to go to the finals . They

30:28

still lost , but the hell of

30:30

the game . I remember that . I think that was 2002

30:33

and they beat the Nets . I wasn't into basketball

30:35

then . Yeah , he was great man . Paul Pierce was

30:38

a good basketball player for sure .

30:40

Keeping in line with popular culture

30:42

and popular people , david Beckham released

30:44

Netflix special . Do you know who David Beckham is ? Andrew

30:47

?

30:47

No , who is David Beckham ? You really don't know . No

30:49

, I really have no clue who David Beckham is . Go ahead .

30:51

No , sarcasm Be real .

30:53

Yeah , he's known in Inter Miami .

30:55

He's one of the owners of Inter Miami .

30:57

I'm here for Manchester United .

30:58

Tell the people Don't tell me . Well , you're

31:01

asking me , I'm asking because , andrew

31:03

, you do live in a bubble , you do .

31:07

He's married to Victoria Beckham . Posh

31:09

Spice , okay , okay , I

31:12

mean , he is literally probably one of the famous people

31:14

at the time , like early 2000s

31:17

. He was like you have to live in Iraq , and David

31:19

Beckham , there's a lot of stuff I bring up that you don't

31:21

know about , so I brought up

31:23

the Drake and Joe Button beef You're like ?

31:25

oh , hold on .

31:28

That's beef between Joe Button and .

31:30

David Beckham . Drake is an international

31:32

artist .

31:33

Okay , but I don't know who he

31:35

has problems with , or ?

31:37

Andrew , my point is I know who

31:39

Drake is .

31:40

I know his music .

31:41

Exactly so when something about him , so

31:43

I got it should pop up on your timeline

31:45

. He's pretty famous , just like David Beckham

31:47

, drake's very famous .

31:49

Okay , go ahead .

31:50

But anyhow , david Beckham had

31:53

a Netflix special

31:55

for episodes or so and

31:58

the episode they graze over the fact that he had

32:01

an affair when he was in Madrid

32:04

. He was in Spain , he played for Real Madrid

32:06

for a little bit there and then after that he came

32:08

over to America . But he was there and

32:11

they asked him David

32:14

, your

32:16

teammates are all single and you're not . How

32:18

are you going to deal with being out in Madrid With

32:21

all these You're a handsome man with all

32:23

these women throwing themselves at you ? He's like well , I'm

32:25

happily married , I'm doing my thing . Me

32:27

and my wife and my kids were all good . And

32:30

then news broke out that he had

32:32

an affair . Really , yeah , he had an affair

32:34

. I

32:37

am living in a bubble . Go ahead . No

32:40

, not maybe . You definitely are in a bubble . There's

32:42

lots of things that I bring up there . You're like I

32:44

don't know , I don't care , it's just a little bit of shit , I guess

32:46

Go ahead .

32:46

That could be it too . Go ahead , but Tell

32:49

me about those guys in the fair .

32:51

No , they glazed over the fair in the special because

32:54

normally they'd sell the woman that

32:56

you had an affair with . They'd talk about the individual

32:58

. They didn't talk about it , and

33:01

it felt like they're trying to keep

33:03

David Beckham's image very polished

33:05

and maintain it as well

33:07

, maybe because he paid for it . He

33:09

paid for the special or he decided he

33:11

had final edition edits on it . So

33:17

they glazed over it because naturally , if

33:19

you're going to talk about somebody's life , you

33:21

talk about all aspects of his life , especially when

33:23

you're putting it on tape , especially when David Beckham

33:25

and they're famous like he is . He's

33:27

a world renowned guy

33:29

, known doubled world

33:32

over . So I

33:34

was just a little taken aback

33:36

by the fact that he had

33:38

an affair but didn't show the woman

33:41

. Well , I hope they don't .

33:43

Oh , thanks to social media and this day and age that we

33:45

know who the woman is Sometimes

33:48

, when people have these situations that

33:50

are kind of embarrassing , everyone needs to know about

33:52

it . Yeah , if you're famous , you're public domain

33:54

. I disagree , I just

33:56

think as- . No , you could disagree , but I know

33:58

and it's my personal opinion is just because

34:00

you're part Maybe that's why you think I live in a bubble

34:03

. It's not that I think you live in a bubble

34:05

but continue . Maybe I just don't

34:07

care to know everybody's personal

34:09

business . You know what I mean . Like he

34:11

had an affair , maybe I'm sure he felt really

34:13

bad about it , or he had

34:15

an argument with his wife about it

34:18

and the fact that that I don't even

34:20

know about that , that's just man's business . I can't

34:22

believe you're shit . Like you know , I feel bad

34:24

about the situation . That's not a cool

34:26

thing , but it's . You know , sometimes it

34:29

happens and you know

34:31

, move on . You don't need to like . A whole

34:33

entire world needs to dissect the situation

34:35

now , because everyone's got their own problems . They all have

34:37

to do it . I think that's probably why I don't give a shit

34:39

so much . It's like Drake and Joe Budden

34:41

. You made a critique on an album

34:43

. Drake didn't like it . Okay , so he

34:45

didn't like it .

34:46

No , lots of people make it was deeper than he didn't

34:48

like it . He untressed a man to

34:50

the world On an Instagram post

34:53

. It's not like oh , he didn't like it . Whatever

34:55

, forget you it's . Oh , you didn't like it . Oh

34:57

, you're a bum anyways . Why should people listen to you

34:59

? Anybody that has a dream out there , go follow

35:01

your dream . Don't listen to somebody that doesn't make money

35:03

off of music . Tell you what to do about

35:06

as far as being a musician . So

35:08

he untressed Joe Budden , not just like yeah

35:10

, I'm good bro , he gave

35:12

Joe Budden a pop . That's what I feel

35:14

like , but before

35:16

we end this show , I'd like to say shout out to that

35:19

boy . He's a serial union rapper . His

35:21
