Tirack dot com the way tied buying should
1:02
be. You talked a lot
1:04
about what's going on with the draft. We will touch
1:07
on the NBA playoffs is
1:09
we'll bring Cuffs the Legend on from some
1:12
dude show on up on Game Network
1:15
at ten twenty. We'll bring them on at ten twenty.
1:18
But right now, guys, what
1:20
I wanted to talk to you guys about
1:22
was, was there anything in particular
1:26
that jumped out at you and
1:29
on day one of the draft, and maybe
1:32
even maybe even not even day
1:34
one, maybe it was something
1:36
that has taken place in the draft
1:39
that led you to look
1:41
at you know, this was a win for that team,
1:43
or this was a great decision by that team.
1:46
Where you know where you guys fall on that.
1:49
You know, when when you start saying, oh,
1:52
these teams had a really good draft,
1:54
these teams had a really bad draft,
1:57
you're saying the team had a good or a bad draft
2:00
because you really value those
2:02
players and you don't value the
2:04
other players.
2:06
Let's just be honest. You really
2:08
don't know.
2:10
You have to give it a couple of years to
2:12
see how these players pan out, because
2:16
some players they get drafted in the first
2:18
round and they become complacent,
2:22
that desire to be great,
2:25
that desire to
2:28
continue to climb that ladder. Now
2:31
that you had this money, it isn't there anymore,
2:33
and that is always a case.
2:36
You just don't know which players fall into
2:38
that category. Oh
2:40
the money has changed them. Money
2:43
doesn't change anybody. It
2:45
just reveals who you've always wanted to be and
2:48
who you always would be when when you got
2:51
it. And so it's
2:53
hard to say who had a
2:55
great draft who didn't have a
2:58
good draft, but I'm going to answer.
3:01
I like what the Commanders
3:03
did in the first and second round.
3:05
I really like the dB from
3:09
Michigan. I can't pronounce his last
3:11
name, so Sandra still, I don't know how you
3:14
pronounce it, and getting
3:16
Jade Daniels I
3:18
also like, Yeah,
3:21
I just am not to pronounce it. And also, honestly,
3:23
I like what the Falcons did because they
3:27
were sold in their conviction on
3:30
Penis and it takes a lot to do what
3:32
they did because they knew criticism
3:35
would come from that. They knew
3:37
they would be criticized for
3:39
drafting Michael Pennix, but they believed
3:41
in it so much they didn't care. And
3:44
so I like that type of conviction and
3:46
their scouting and what they're doing because
3:48
you know when people are going to be criticized.
3:50
Ah, should we do it?
3:51
You know they gonna say data, they
3:53
believe in what
3:55
they see and what they saw, and so they
3:58
drafted them. But it remains to
4:00
be seen.
4:02
You know.
4:02
I think that one of the first things
4:04
that jump off the page with me for day one
4:07
this team has was
4:10
seeing the same exact thing that I'm saying.
4:12
I don't know how he got this far, and
4:15
I'm gonna just go on to record that I think he is
4:17
probably the most
4:19
underrated play in the first in the first round. The
4:23
young man's name is Brian Thomas Jr.
4:26
Whide receiver from LSU played
4:28
alongside Elik Neighbors. Everybody saying
4:31
Elik Neighbors is the guy. He's the guy, He's the
4:33
guy. I had the opportunity
4:35
to sit down with the coach, his
4:37
officer coordinator, and I sat
4:40
there and I watched film with this young man. He
4:44
is really something
4:47
special. The kids six ' four.
4:49
He just ran a four to three to three at
4:52
his pro day and jump by thirty eight and
4:54
a half.
4:54
Its vertical at mister Barris, you know who
4:56
trained him? Right? Who you did?
4:59
You not?
5:00
You know out here? Yeah?
5:01
Yeah, I'm telling you right, Damn man,
5:04
this kid right here, he
5:07
is going to do some damage in
5:09
the NFL.
5:10
Man the next level.
5:11
He's foro. It just taller than the neighbors. Everybody
5:14
knows whose Monique Labors is. The guy
5:16
just had what almost twelve hundred yards
5:18
last year and seventeen touchdowns on sixty
5:20
eight receptions. This
5:23
kid right here, and I'm telling he's gonna
5:25
shock a lot of people of how talent
5:27
and how good he is, especially
5:29
for his height and the size
5:32
man and things that he's able to do playing wide
5:34
receiver aplex.
5:35
And you know what you would like about BT That
5:38
dude is smart
5:40
as a quarterback. It is cray
5:44
how smart he is and how well he
5:46
understands the game of football. Bro, it
5:48
would blow your mind away how
5:50
smart this guy is when it comes to the game of
5:52
football and crazy crazy intelligence.
5:55
Wow, I'm
5:58
would.
5:58
Say this my take on this. Like
6:01
win erners and losers, I'll just say
6:04
I don't know. I feel like I
6:06
feel like my boys team, our
6:09
boys team, they lost in
6:11
not getting one of these quarterbacks.
6:14
I really do.
6:15
I feel like I feel like the
6:17
six quarterbacks that went in the
6:20
first round are
6:22
all capable of being amazing
6:25
players in the National Football
6:27
League. Now, some have gotten better opportunities
6:30
than others. I think JJ McCarthy
6:33
steps into one of the most amazing
6:36
opportunities, becoming the quarterback
6:38
for the Minnesota Vikings.
6:41
I think it was a tremendous win for Atlanta
6:43
to take Michael Pennix because I believe
6:45
Michael pennis is a dark horse quarterback
6:48
that actually has, if
6:51
not top tier caliber,
6:53
you know, abilities and capabilities ceiling
6:55
wise, certainly can.
6:57
Be on that next tier that we
6:59
see the the you know.
7:00
Kirk Cousins, the Dak Prescott's, you
7:03
know those those types of Jared Goffs,
7:06
those those types of quarterbacks on that
7:08
next tier.
7:09
Maybe not a Lamar Jackson or.
7:11
Patrick Mahomes type Aaron
7:13
Rodgers, but but certainly one
7:15
that can be comparable to getting
7:18
you to to that that next level
7:20
of competition.
7:21
So I think every every team that.
7:23
Got a hold of a quarterback in this
7:25
draft, either of those six were
7:28
actually winners. Do you do you
7:30
feel as though, like for me,
7:32
I think the hardest part
7:35
and and listen, they added a donaze to
7:38
to the receiving corps for
7:41
for Caleb Williams, But I think the
7:43
hardest part for a guy like Caleb
7:45
Williams or anyone who has
7:47
gone to a team that doesn't
7:50
necessarily have the type of
7:52
of maybe success
7:54
or structure that's that
7:57
exists. Like what what JJ McCarthy
7:59
is about to walk into in Minnesota.
8:02
It could be an it
8:05
could be a touch and go situation.
8:07
Even as talented as they are as
8:09
a quarterback, everybody's going to look for their quarterback
8:12
to be like c J.
8:13
Stroud.
8:14
That's like the gold standard of this
8:17
was a successful rookie campaign
8:19
for a quarterback. If it's anything short
8:21
of that, it's like it's
8:24
not good enough. It's not good enough for
8:26
a top draft pick. And that's how it's always
8:28
been. That's not new, That's how it's always been. I
8:31
just wonder, I'm curious which
8:33
one of those quarterbacks is
8:36
going to have the most success and is
8:38
it going to be based upon how good
8:40
they are or is it going to be based
8:42
upon how good their team is and how they're
8:44
structured?
8:46
You know, LeVar, it really comes
8:48
down to the team,
8:51
It really does. But honestly,
8:55
you got to be impressed with what Ryan
8:58
Poles and.
9:00
Chicago Bears have done. You gotta be.
9:02
You will get one of the better rot runners in
9:05
Keenan Allen. You
9:07
draft a guy who and
9:09
I'm biased because our training who I believe
9:12
is going to be really good and Roma doing that.
9:15
That baby runs route.
9:16
Rome is big, he's
9:18
fast, he has crazy
9:21
ball skills. No like he'll make an
9:23
easy catch, I mean a hard
9:25
catch looks so easy
9:28
because his hand eye coordination
9:31
is so good. But
9:34
the man is six three and he ran ten to five and one hundred
9:37
meters in high school. He ran twenty
9:39
point six
9:41
I believe in the two hundred meters in high
9:43
school. So at six
9:45
three two fifteen running like that, what
9:48
his ability to run routes and
9:51
his ball skills. And then
9:53
you also have Dj Moore and Keenan Allen
9:56
cole kmet DeAndre
9:58
Swift in the backfield. That
10:00
is an impressive skill
10:03
group that that really isn't And so
10:06
now it is can Caleb do his
10:08
part?
10:09
Can can he do his part?
10:11
And if he can, you
10:13
would easily have to say that Caleb
10:15
Williams is going to have a great
10:18
rookie year and possibly a great career because
10:20
of the players around
10:22
him. They are doing what you should
10:24
do if you draft the quarterback high, surround
10:27
him with weapons. So now we have no excuses
10:30
and let's see how it plays out.
10:32
So are you saying that the Chicago
10:34
that the Chicago Bears didn't
10:37
do that with Justin Fields.
10:39
A blind man can see
10:41
that they tried, but it was a bit late. Yeah,
10:45
no, they didn't.
10:46
They the players weren't
10:48
available for the Chicago I mean, hey,
10:50
the players weren't available.
10:51
They didn't do it. However you want to frame it.
10:54
He didn't have what he did
10:56
not have what Caleb
10:59
Williams has that
11:01
that's a factuy.
11:02
So so the Chicago Bears
11:04
basically they just without
11:07
saying it, they came out and
11:09
sent subliminal message to people like us
11:11
who understand it that, uh,
11:14
we got it wrong when we drafted Justin
11:16
fields is basically what they said.
11:17
But it is a different it's a different uh
11:21
general manager.
11:23
I don't believe Ryan Poe's drafted uh
11:27
Justin fields. And so it's
11:30
a different, different GM.
11:32
And so when you when you look at it from that perspective,
11:36
hey, you you can't. You
11:38
cannot fault the Bears and Ryan Pauk what they're
11:41
doing.
11:43
You you can. You gotta applaud
11:46
them.
11:46
A rookie quarterback with teas receivers
11:50
like that, that's you don't see that.
11:54
I'm gonna say this I think it sounds
11:56
good. I don't know that Keenan Allen will stay
11:58
healthy. Do is
12:00
say he's going to have to adjust and adapt
12:02
to being a pro which may not be too hard, but
12:05
he may or may not.
12:07
Pick it up, may not pick it up. I don't
12:09
know. A rookie is a rookie.
12:11
I think outside of outside
12:14
of Pennix having the opportunity to sit
12:16
and learn and
12:18
and have time and see how
12:20
things are going to shape up with Raheem Morris
12:23
and that team and JJ McCarthy
12:25
with the type of weapons that he does have
12:28
that isn't in question at all.
12:31
I think the rest of them are in for a tough
12:34
road. I think it's going to be a tough
12:36
I think it's going to be a turbulent situation
12:39
for Caleb Williams. I think it's going to be a turbulent
12:42
situation for for the rest
12:44
of them, for for Drake may Like
12:46
in New England, I think that's that's that's turbulent.
12:49
There's turbulence here.
12:51
I just think that they're going to all have their
12:53
hands full with having the type
12:55
of success that they're gonna want, and that the city,
12:58
the fans, the team is going to want for them.
13:00
I just think that.
13:01
It's a it's it's an aberration
13:04
to think that you're going to have a team
13:07
that's as that does what
13:09
what they were able to do with the Miko
13:11
and Houston this past year.
13:14
It's just that's I think that's the outlier.
13:16
I don't I don't think we see that. So it's
13:18
going to be interesting to see
13:20
through it.
13:21
He's specially c J. Stroud.
13:24
But six, these six guys are
13:26
special to righte.
13:27
Hey, well, hey, we all
13:30
know I want I want to special
13:33
A six quarterbacks drafted in the
13:35
top fifteen. We've never seen
13:37
it happen, and we don't know who
13:39
it's going to be, but the odds
13:42
tell us at
13:45
probably two to three are
13:47
going to be bus We just don't know
13:49
who it's going to be because we
13:51
don't know the
13:53
situation, how how the development
13:56
is. Yes, always it's always
13:58
at now and if all of them great, and
14:01
this.
14:01
Is a rare.
14:03
They talk about Jim Kelly and
14:05
Dan Marino, and I know we got to get to a break because
14:07
we got to bring cups on. But they talk about the
14:09
Jim Kelly draft with Dan Marino,
14:12
and I think there was one more du
14:16
Troy Aikman. That was a hell of a draft
14:18
for quarterbacks. I mean, does this
14:20
have that potent? Just real quickly because we got to get
14:22
the break, but real quickly, do you think these
14:24
six out of those six, do you think
14:26
that this is that type of draft where you know,
14:29
like two three of them become Hall of Fame caliber
14:31
quarterbacks.
14:33
I mean, if you if you look
14:35
at the organizations, you
14:39
would say.
14:41
No.
14:42
But you say this a few
14:45
years ago about the Detroit LIONSY and look where
14:47
they're going now. And so if
14:49
the structure is right, anything
14:52
is possible. I like what Ryan Poe's
14:54
and the Chicago Bears are doing. I really do. They're
14:56
giving this. They're giving Caleb Williams
14:58
every opportunity to be successful.
15:01
And so you just don't
15:03
know.
15:05
When you come to the National Football League,
15:07
man, these are grown men. You
15:09
got to eat, sleep, and breed football. It has
15:11
to consume your life for the most part, but
15:14
you also have to get away from it and the guys
15:16
that can handle it,
15:19
the the failures,
15:21
because we love the successes. Can
15:24
you handle the failure and can you still
15:26
believe in yourself? Can you still have that confidence
15:28
in yourself when you fail? That's
15:31
the key super quick.
15:33
Plex never had
15:36
to deal with failure, man, But I can imagine.
15:39
I remember what depressure of
15:41
going going into a situation and
15:44
having to be able to perform right away
15:46
because I started my first game when
15:49
I went into campus a rookie. So trust me,
15:51
I know what those young men are feeling. I've never
15:53
had to do your opportunity
15:57
to fail. I had the opportunity to fail,
15:59
but I didn't. But uh yeah, man,
16:01
it's a lot of those young men. I was wishing the best.
16:05
All right.
16:05
That's up on Game that's t J. Husmanza, Plexico

21:39
Go ahead, go ahead, cuffs.
21:42
I remember you'll remember the famous
21:44
David Chappelle's get what they said? The haters
21:46
have arrived. The haters
21:49
have a real
21:53
I'm wearing all black, right, now I
21:55
got I got black, got black
21:58
because funeral
22:01
tonight.
22:01
Man,
22:09
I'm gonna break down to y'all wild we even in this
22:11
situation and a lot of people
22:13
are going to point the blame, Well, what had
22:16
happened was, Yeah, a
22:18
lot.
22:18
Of people gonna point the blame at
22:20
Darvin Ham, and rightfully so, the
22:23
worst coach. He is the worst coach
22:25
in the National Basketball Association. But
22:29
blame is really going to go on the
22:31
person that I've been pointing out and calling out
22:34
way back in November. If y'all remember when
22:36
I said you won't fool me.
22:38
I told you y'all.
22:42
Exactly the point guard for the
22:44
Lakers. I'm not even calling his name anymore. I don't
22:46
even want to say his name no more publicly. The
22:49
point guard for the La Lakers with zero
22:51
points in Game three and the biggest
22:53
moment when you folded
22:55
last year against the Nuggets, Right, you volded last
22:57
year, So we didn't care what he did the whole
23:00
season because we wanted to see what he was going to do. What's
23:02
D'Angelo Russ is going to show improve against
23:05
the Nuggets this year in this series
23:07
and he has not shown up. Lebron has
23:09
shown up. Ad has scored thirty
23:11
and three straight games in this series. Ad has
23:14
played very well against Jokis. You can't
23:16
blame Ad no more. You can't blame Lebron
23:18
no more. To blame is going on the
23:20
shoulders of the starting point guard for
23:22
thelmaker.
23:23
Hey cus, let me jumping here for fire. Everybody
23:26
look is jumping here for a minute.
23:29
What did y'all really expect for d
23:31
Angelo Russell to do when he joined this team?
23:34
What has de lo been his whole career
23:36
score?
23:37
You can't just expect for this man to
23:39
join this team with Anthony
23:42
Davidson Lebron James, where we know that he's the
23:44
alpha. He basically does what he wants
23:46
to do. He can take him a basketball game with
23:49
whenever he wants to.
23:52
This teammates what he wants to. Now let's
23:54
get back to dolphin him. I don't know you do what
23:56
you said, but I will tell you this. Uh,
24:00
Austin Reeves has been
24:02
the problem, one of the major problems for
24:04
this loss a basketball
24:07
team because for one old defense.
24:09
Who is he going to guard? He can't
24:11
guard Aplex? Can
24:13
I interrupt you real quick? Yeah?
24:16
So you know game three right? You bring
24:18
up Austin Reeves, You're wrong. Anthony
24:21
Davis had thirty three points. Lebron
24:23
James had twenty six points, Austin
24:26
Reeves had twenty two.
24:28
Yeah, we're talking
24:30
about on the defensive side.
24:33
Else had more than eight points. Nobody
24:36
else had more than understand
24:38
what points.
24:39
But when it comes down to
24:41
it in a crunch time situation,
24:44
Austin Reeves cannot guard nobody
24:46
on his basketball team.
24:47
You act like D'Angelo Russell can.
24:49
At least Austin Reeves is given us some points,
24:51
He's given us production. D'Angelo
24:53
Russell can play no defense and
24:56
he can't score a point.
24:57
Bro Listen, that's the problem.
24:59
You the Los Angeles Lakers
25:01
and Darvin Ham, and you're looking
25:03
at this roster that the Denver
25:05
Nuggets have.
25:06
You have to say one thing. Joker's
25:08
going to get his points. Jamal
25:11
Murray is going to get his points. But when
25:13
you.
25:13
Allow the Joker to get thirty
25:16
of Jamal Murray get twenty five and
25:18
you allow Michael Porter Junior to get twenty
25:21
five, you.
25:21
Got a problem.
25:22
And that's why your focus
25:24
extensively. That's what Joe said,
25:27
what he said about less Ham.
25:29
Let's take Mike Michael Porter Junior
25:31
out of this basketball game because he is the
25:33
one that is killing us on a defensive
25:36
end and threes in transition, making
25:38
transition baskets. Y'all need
25:40
to focus on that young man right there, kind
25:42
of take him out of this basketball game.
25:45
As carunching and game planning. But this
25:47
is what it is. That is a better basketball
25:49
team than you guys. Man, flat
25:51
out that's it.
25:53
That's what.
25:53
Flat out you can't.
25:56
The Lakers, bro. The Lakers have dominated
25:59
the first three games in the first half.
26:01
They were in the first half.
26:03
But you know what differ is, hey come
26:05
out in the third quarter and they're gonna play,
26:07
and they're gonna play that best basketball.
26:09
Lakers get eliminated and I ain't watching the NBA
26:12
playoffs no more.
26:13
So they eliminated. I'm done the Los
26:15
Angeles Lakers. Just like you said. It looks
26:17
like you said the Los Angeles Legs.
26:19
They come out the first, first and second quarter
26:21
of those basketball games in Denvil,
26:23
they come out, they're running up and down the court.
26:25
Come third or fourth quarter.
26:26
The time, Hey, we get slapped
26:28
in the face in the first game is
26:30
not a foul. I didn't know you could smack somebody,
26:35
but being up twenty
26:37
and both get the game on and
26:39
game two and you still lose the basketball
26:42
game, no excuse, then.
26:44
Twenty we can we just
26:46
move on from the Lakers because it's
26:49
gonna be a timon sweet. I think, I think,
26:52
I honestly think Lebron is not gonna get
26:54
swept two years in a row. So Lebron, He's
26:56
gonna rise up tonight. I think that rise
26:58
up tonight. It's
27:01
gonna be a gentleman sweep. So I
27:04
want to look forward to the next round because the Phoenix
27:06
Sun they about to get the same get
27:08
the funeral, and.
27:09
This all goes back, and
27:12
this all goes This all
27:14
goes back towards last year when
27:17
Mark Malone and Lebron James was going
27:19
out in the media. Lebron Jane
27:21
was saying slow down as always next
27:23
year, and Malone was poking at Lebron
27:25
and Los Angeles Lakers and beating them. And
27:28
now they're on the brink of being swept,
27:30
in which they will be.
27:32
So the King will not rise
27:34
up this evening.
27:36
All I simply want to say,
27:38
Wooker, Booker and KD the
27:42
next series.
27:43
The Timberwolves are the only
27:45
team in the Western Conference. Who
27:48
matches up with those Nuggets because they
27:50
have the front line we go there. Kar
27:53
Anthony Towns is back healthy,
27:54
No Red
27:57
is the sixth man of the Year. And as
27:59
I've said on this program already,
28:02
if ant Man turns into two thousand
28:04
and six Dwayne Wade like he showed us last
28:06
night, because Devin Booker, you're
28:09
no longer in the conversation as
28:11
the best two guard in the league, ant
28:13
Man will be starting. Ant Man will
28:16
be starting at shooting guard in the Olympics
28:18
in Paris. He is the best shooting guard in
28:20
the world. And if ant Man can continue
28:22
to elevate his game like he's doing against Phoenix,
28:25
I'm telling you the Timberwolves are the
28:27
only team that stands in the way
28:29
of the Nuggets repeating. And I think
28:31
Dallas, Dallas gonna beat the Clippers
28:34
because Luca and Kyrie is too much. Daniel
28:36
Gafford, the PJ Washington, all
28:38
those guys playing well. The Thunder
28:40
they looking good right now. They're gonna get pastor Pelicans.
28:42
I'm already looking ahead to the next round.
28:44
I'm telling y'all, I'm disappointed in Phoenix
28:47
and where they are. I thought there was gonna be a
28:49
lot better with the with the additional Bradley
28:51
Bill. But let's cuist to the Eastern
28:53
Conference cuff, because I remember when
28:56
I had you on this telecast,
28:59
just this show. You came
29:01
out and said you was Bolton
29:04
Celtics.
29:05
Gonna do this.
29:06
They gonna do that.
29:07
They are Eastern Coast.
29:08
They still are they are.
29:10
How can you explain them losing
29:12
at home Butler's
29:16
Miami Heat basketball team? I
29:18
told you that Brown
29:22
is gonna be the you want to be the player.
29:25
Why the Boston Celtics
29:27
would not win the Eastern Conference.
29:29
I'm telling that one.
29:30
That's one. That's one hiccup. World champions haven't
29:32
hit that ain't no hiccup. All
29:35
I'm saying is bro hiccup.
29:39
I'm not looking at that loss. I'm
29:41
not taking nothing but that loss. That they're gonna beat
29:43
this. They're gonna beat the Miami Heat in probably five
29:45
games. Right, the Celtics are going
29:47
to be in an Eastern Conference. What you need to be worried
29:50
about is the Milwaukee Bucks are
29:52
done.
29:52
It's a rat.
29:53
Not only not only are the Bucks done this year,
29:56
it's time. It's time to blow it up in Milwaukee
29:58
because We've seen Da with the injury
30:00
he suffered, Achilles injury, strainers,
30:03
Achilles. They're they're
30:06
the Indiana Pacers, Parry Taliverton
30:08
Miles turning those guys Kham. They're a bad
30:10
matchup for them anyway, even with Gianni's
30:12
and now with Gianni's out, No.
30:15
Come onto, you don't believe that,
30:17
bro, Bro, do you see the game?
30:19
Do you watch the bad.
30:21
Matchup with come on?
30:22
Manated
30:26
those guys in the regular season with Giannis
30:28
on the floor, and now Jannie is gone.
30:31
Fast forward to this, We're getting the Celtics
30:34
in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Celtics are gonna
30:36
win the East. I mean, look at it, the Knicks
30:38
and the Knicks are decent, but the
30:40
Knicks can probably get past the Sixers because Joel
30:42
is dealing with I think.
30:44
It said yeah, because
30:46
Joel is not healthy.
30:48
So we're we're getting Celtish
30:51
in the finals. It's gonna be Celtics Nuggets
30:54
more more than likely. But all I'm simply saying
30:56
is keep your eyes on the timber Bolve because
30:59
and Danny Edwards is elevating
31:02
his game just like I saw
31:04
d Wade do in six I'm telling y'all
31:06
he is he last night was a
31:08
turning point for him in his career. He's
31:11
only twenty four to twenty five years old. Bro to
31:13
go into Phoenix last night and do that to Kevin
31:15
Durant and you saw him talking spiky
31:17
to KD. What I'm saying is, Bro, we're
31:20
witnessing what we call, we always
31:22
say, passing the torch right down
31:25
three to oh, hold On Lebron,
31:27
down three to oh, KD is down three to
31:29
oh. Steph Curry already in can kun.
31:31
These young guys a man, Bro,
31:35
a man, Jason Tatum, Luka Donnas,
31:39
Shay, Gilgus, Alexander this
31:41
is their time, is all I'm saying, Yokic, this
31:43
is their time. So we're witnessing a change
31:45
of the guard. That's what I think we're witnessing overall
31:47
in the NBA right now. The old heads,
31:50
the old heads, the trip
31:52
like the tires are starting
31:55
to show that that tread like it's they
31:57
have nothing left.
31:58
Bro, I believe
32:00
I agree with you and that I agree.
32:04
Listen, that's cuts the legend right there.
32:07
You got any any is that your is
32:09
that your profound
32:11
ending to this this ridiculously
32:14
funny segment.
32:15
Of how the old heads is.
32:18
Gonna be in can't comb as
32:20
the reunion of Coocon has
32:23
some old ass men that can't get it done
32:25
anymore against these young boys?
32:26
Is this it for you?
32:27
Cut before we take a team game,
32:29
guys as a team with Lebron and a du.
32:38
As y'all on Instagram, I've already
32:40
entered the transfer portal, like I'm.
32:44
You need to take with you y'all.
32:46
Need'll need to post a letter, y'all need to
32:48
go to the portal.
32:49
Hey if y'all hey that hey, that had
32:51
me dying when I saw it.
32:54
I'm already I've already,
32:56
I've already told myself Bron
32:59
has years. Well, I'm
33:03
gonna say this publicly, what
33:06
greatness. I'm gonna say this publicly right
33:09
now. It is time for
33:11
Lebron to get out of LA
33:14
and I'm gonna tell you why. It's malpractice.
33:17
Rob Polinka has done a terrible job.
33:19
He hired Listen Bro, he
33:21
hired Darvin Ham.
33:24
That's the faithal mistake. He
33:27
hired Darvin Ham. It's time Lebron
33:29
to go to New York, New York,
33:32
New York.
33:32
That's what I'm telling you think
33:36
and Lebron need the ball Jaylen Brunson need
33:38
the ball.
33:39
I don't know and random.
33:41
When he came at this stage, at
33:43
this stage Lebron's career, he
33:45
don't want to carry the team. I know that
33:47
personally, he don't want to carry he he
33:49
doesn't want to be the number one guy on
33:52
certain nights. Yes, but like you've seen
33:54
it now, he can't be the best player on your
33:56
team. And he's thirty nine. He needs a lot
33:58
of Hey.
34:00
Hey, chus, what you just said? Uh
34:03
New York, New York.
34:04
Who you think is having a better sais Jalen brussel
34:06
O, Tarvis.
34:06
Maxi, Russ
34:10
Bruton struggled the first couple of games, but he's starting
34:12
to So I would
34:14
put my money on I mean, I like both of those guys, but
34:16
I would put my money on Brunt him because he's
34:18
a home run hitter, he's a closer. But I think that series
34:20
going seven because the home court advantages,
34:23
Like most teams have a raucous crowd. You've seen
34:25
the crowd in Phield the other night. I think it's going
34:27
seven. We're gonna get a game seven in the
34:29
guarden. You can mark that Game seven
34:31
in the garden.
34:34
That's cuts the legend. Some
34:36
dudes show up on game Network. You
34:38
can find him on i G.
34:41
He is a great follow so
34:43
you want to follow him and check him out. As
34:45
you heard, he is in the transfer portal
34:48
away from the lake. Everybody
34:52
just wishing well. Go on there wishing well.
34:55
He's he took a year too long to enter
34:57
the portal. But you know what, never late that,
34:59
never to late.
35:03
We're gonna we're gonna take a quick breaking. On the
35:05
other side, we're gonna wrap it up.
35:06
And speaking of the La Lakers, there's
35:09
a guy that's from well, he's from.
35:10
San Diego, but he's a LA he was he was.
35:12
A USC player. Uh got
35:14

following ours, but before we
35:48
get up out of here, obviously,
35:51
the news broke this week that former
35:55
NFL and college great Reggie
35:57
Bush would be getting
36:01
his Heisman returned back to
36:03
him, reinstated as the
36:05
rightful winner of that. How
36:08
you guys feel about how
36:11
you guys feel about Edgie Bush getting
36:14
his trophy back and
36:16
being in a scenario where he
36:18
can now say, you know, it's maybe
36:21
solidified his college
36:23
career and what he
36:25
was able to accomplish.
36:28
For for me is long overdue.
36:30
I felt like he
36:33
should have been They should have been given
36:35
his Heisman trophy back, man,
36:37
Like everybody knew when
36:40
they took it it was bs
36:42
and now with the nil and all that, it's
36:44
like, come on, man, the NCAA has been
36:49
a terribly run organization
36:51
from when we were playing, and it
36:54
was just getting worse and worse and worse.
36:55
And now.
36:57
That I mean, they really owe us reparations.
37:00
They being oled Reggie Bush his reparations
37:02
and giving that Heisman trophy back because you
37:04
think about, look at all the money that
37:07
they cost him by doing what they
37:09
did. And so I'm happy.
37:11
I'm happy he has his Heisman Trophy back.
37:13
Man.
37:13
I just saw Reggie bush Man last weekend
37:16
and kicked it with him for a little while.
37:18
Man.
37:18
So for him to
37:20
get what he rightfully earned
37:23
on that field, he earned that on the field,
37:26
I'm happy for him.
37:27
Man.
37:28
What I don't understand about it is that why
37:31
I took the Housmand Trophy, you
37:33
know, association to to wait
37:35
so long, Because from what I understand, the
37:38
Heisman Trophy is not associated with the nc DOUBLE
37:40
at all. It's a
37:42
certain separate entity. So
37:45
if I believe that they were just following
37:47
suit with the rules, that or the
37:50
uh the what do your sinctions
37:52
that they put on register bush to take away his Heisman
37:55
trophy. If you're if you were the Heisman
37:57
Trophy and you're your own separate
38:00
entity, not separated, not
38:03
you know, partner with the NCAA, then
38:05
why wouldn't you have issued him his
38:07
Heisman trophy back a long time ago.
38:09
That's the right. I have problem with it.
38:11
But let me put this in front of y'all because
38:13
there are some people out there that are
38:15
saying, but.
38:16
He did break the rules.
38:19
Now, I don't know the details
38:22
of the story in terms of what
38:24
his involvement was versus his family's
38:26
involvement in it.
38:28
I'm not sure on all of those details.
38:30
A lot of people say, why didn't Reggie Bush
38:32
ever confess or clear
38:35
it up that this was his role in it, this
38:37
is what he had going on. There
38:39
are a lot of people that felt as though maybe
38:42
maybe he wasn't deserving of getting his heisman
38:45
back because while the rules have changed
38:47
now, the rules were the rules
38:49
when he was playing, and he and apparently
38:53
he broke them.
38:53
To the stent where they took his
38:56
heisman. What would y'all say to that?
38:59
I just felt like the
39:01
rules back then were they
39:04
weren't right there.
39:06
There's no way that you
39:09
can play golf,
39:13
tennis, and these other sports and
39:15
make money off of yourself, but you can't play
39:17
football and basketball make money off yourself.
39:20
Like I didn't understand that that
39:22
is his name.
39:23
If he can make broke broke
39:25
in college.
39:27
Broke eating to eating top
39:29
ramen every day and adding
39:31
baloney and all like spam sandwiches,
39:34
Like it's crazy what you go through as a
39:36
college athlete.
39:37
And so I still like spam sandwiches.
39:39
I would never eat another one. I
39:41
ate so like a hot dog. Spam never will
39:44
ever you could pay me to eat any of that. I
39:46
ate so much some baloney, sandwiches,
39:48
hot dog spam man, I ate so much of that in
39:50
my life. I'm done. But for
39:53
Reggie Bush, you can say the rules,
39:55
were this the rules or that? Obviously
39:59
they weren't the career rules. In a lot
40:01
of people eyes, a lot and
40:03
soul, you can say,
40:05
oh, these were the rules, they weren't
40:08
the right rules.
40:09
Last word, plex quick hey
40:12
man, Reggie Bush, congratulations.
40:25
Hey. For what is worth?
40:27
I mean, for
40:29
good or for bad, whichever side it falls
40:31
on, it is what it is.
40:32
I don't know.
40:32
He's still suing defamation and character
40:35
against the n c a A. I'm interested to see
40:37
how that all turns out. But Reggie
40:39
Bush is a personal friend. I'm
40:41
glad he got his his reinstatement
40:44
back.
40:45
And we'll be able to move on.
40:46
As you mentioned TJ, a lot of opportunities
40:49
come with having that that hardware and that
40:51
distinction. Now he gets to have it back, so
40:54
good for him, good for his family. His kids
40:56
get to buy into the legacy
40:59
and be a part of that legacy.
41:00
So I appreciate him.
41:02
I appreciate people, you know, giving
41:05
him that that that opportunity back.
41:07
So anyways, JKS next,
41:10
hope you enjoyed the show, Enjoy your weekend.
41:12
We're out of here.
