Is Anthony Edwards the Next Face of the NBA?

I have a good 20 plus one. Definitely have one of the time. Three, one, and a new championship game. Even one, two, one, and three.

They called Waze it. Thanks, everybody. What up? Shout out to you, member.

Andre Gamboa. What up? Andre Gamboa. Andre Gamboa.

Just out of the performing member, we appreciate it. I got to work with the perks for that, though. I'll update it for you guys. But yeah, we appreciate you.

Appreciate the sport. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, man.

We got a lot to talk about. What up, man? That's right. Keep your mindset.

You've been aware of the daddy of our live. But yeah, a lot, a lot, some of the docket tonight. We got a trade that happened. Some of you may not have seen my short.

Of course, Anthony, that was what you saw the title on the show. The bride had a few things to say about Curry, Iverson. I guess Nick put this on here about the New York Knicks. So yeah, we're talking about the Knicks.

So many other better storylines about what we're talking to next. But joining us, man, it's basketball season. So he'll pop up a little bit more than usual. We got Q what up, bro?

What's good? Chillin, chillin, chillin. Many said he may come through again. I guess he had fun last week.

So he's going to come back and maybe say some stuff. We're definitely going to get to the power rankings from Spike. And we got a video from Nick. So we're going to have to power through some of this for Jalen dip out on us.

Then we won't have any of that shit. So let's go ahead and get started. This is the place where sports have been. It's a lot of debt in sports.

I'm your host, Kenan Pink, and joining me on the show. We got Spike. What up, Noah? We got Shelton.

What's happening? We got FIFA. What do they do? And of course we have Q.

Chillin, chillin, chillin. So let's go ahead and jump right into it, man. I'm going to try to follow the timer. We have a timer that's supposed to keep us on track of this stuff.

So we're going to do our due diligence. So I cut y'all off. That's the reason why. But the bit news last week that popped off what just a couple of days ago was Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh made a move. In addition to signing Russell Wilson, they also signed another quarterback that may or may not be able to be able to play. I think we don't have to get played that. So let's get into it.

The Chicago Bears traded Justin Fields to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the Steelers sent Kenny Pickett to be the new starter for the Philadelphia Eagles. What happened? Between the Bears and the Steelers, which team would have better success with their QB situation?

You say the Bears and Steelers? Who will have better success too? Did I read that right? Yeah, that's the question.

Yeah, because obviously Kale is going to be the guy. Yeah, true. But then we got to add a little bit more context because it wasn't just the trade of Justin Fields to Pittsburgh. Also Chicago made a deal to go get Keenan Allen, which is coming off of his best year as a pro.

You know what I'm saying? Obviously he's been injury riddled. And obviously with the number one pick, they're expected to take Kale of Williams. So the question is Kale of Williams and the plethora of weapons called commit DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, potentially another wide receiver in this draft at some point in time.

Is he going to have more success than Pittsburgh? To me, the short answer is going to be no just based off of experience. I think obviously that, and I kind of bit the fruit last year or going into this particular season with Chicago. I like the weapons.

Keenan Allen, they added that to it. Obviously they have another high draft pick and they have second round picks where they can add even more weaponry. But the question mark is Kale of Williams. We don't know how he's going to acclimate to the NFL.

We don't know if he's going to start off quick. Is he going to have, you know, is he going to be three or four games before he really gets his feet up under him? That's a question mark. We know what Russell Wilson is.

Justin Fields is also another question mark, but we know that the Pittsburgh Steelers won 10 games. We know that Russell Wilson is a better quarterback than Kenny Pickett today. You know what I'm saying? I see your face.

I'm not saying that he's losing balance better than Kenny Pickett, but he is a better quarterback than Kenny Pickett. So the expectation is a little bit higher. We also know George Pickens was, you know, not until the end of the season really utilized in the right way. And I don't think it's scheme.

I think it was a Kenny Pickett type of thing. So I think that we will see more success from Pittsburgh because of the foundation. And you know, there is a little bit of juice left with Russell Wilson. So if Mike Tomlin in that organization can extrapolate that they will have a successful season.

I think it's questionable for Kale of. You don't know how successful he's going to be, even though they do definitely have weapons there. He said a lot, but you were correct when you said the stability part. That's why Pittsburgh got the better end of the bargain because you put two quarterbacks with questionable coaching staffs that they come off of in a situation where they have more stability with Mike Tomlin than they have ever had at any other stop that they've had other than, you know, Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson.

He hadn't had that in a while. And you know, he's a little discombobulated, it's confidence and shaking the seams. So you put him with Mike Tomlin and that defense is going to be tremendous. That's going to help out a ton.

Plus he got a better running game than they do. And Chicago, not far as Chicago last year with Justin Fields had, you know, them U.S. F.L players running behind him. He really had true running backs.

So when saying that Pittsburgh has stability, the franchise is stable, playoff, all that stuff that they're used to, that's a much easier and much more fluid situation to join as opposed to going to Chicago, which is still going to be nice. I like the addition of Keenan Allen. I love that. You're right about that 100%.

And we'll see what else they do in the draft. But like I said, when you look at that team as a whole, this one over here just seems more solid. Mike, the Steelers family member is elated with the signings like. Elated with Justin Fields.

Exactly. Justin Fields potentially both. Justin Fields is the potential, the upside of Justin Fields after Russell Wilson leaves. But Justin Fields is who he is.

So he's more excited about Russell Wilson. And if Russell Wilson can mentor Justin Fields, they'll take it. But they haven't had anybody. Right.

And if you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan, you had Slash all them years. This is your Slash 2.0. If nothing else you can use them in special packages. Yeah.

You can put them in special packages and let him do what he do. That man was magical when he had to bomb in his hands. That's those are the words we use him to talk about. 100%.

Did you not see some of them games? No, no, I don't see them. I don't see them. I don't see them.

They have other offers. Yeah, they did. Look out. You didn't have a ton of other offers.

And if you did have a lot better offers, then you probably take those, right? Well, here's the thing that happened in Chicago was a prisoner of the moment, meaning that they didn't move the Belichick rule move off early versus late. They moved off late. So why is the team going to offer you what is the true compensation for Justin Fields?

Well, they couldn't move off early because of the way we could play. No one wanted him. What are you talking about? He was more of a second or third round pick.

GM's across the league prior to this offseason, we're saying that that was what his value was worth. The issue was with Chicago. They waited too long to move off of Justin Fields. They didn't make them earlier.

Exactly. They would have got higher compensation. Now they know, look, you got the number one pick we know you're going to take. And if not, keep them both and see what happens.

They know that they're not. So you know what, you're going to take the six round pick or not. Yeah. If you felt like that he was worth that much and he had shown that much value that you keep him in hopes when you're hurting the training camp.

He was going to take it in the season. 62 quarterbacks played last year. That's rough. Like a lot of people get hurt.

So people wouldn't need a Jesse Fields. I would think that then he has more value. But y'all are telling me that he was a steal for a six round pick. That's about what he's worth.

You talk about a quarterback that wins three games per year. And a terrible system. What a terrible coach. But he's been a terrible quarterback.

And I said he can't be better. I'm not saying that at all. He couldn't go to the Pittsburgh and he could be good. That is what you say.

I was saying that. I'm not saying that. You don't have to go to the numbers multiple times and compare them to this three games per year. That's one three games.

That's a little six. That's good for someone who wins three games per year. I can give you a third of all. If I don't care how you look on this film, I know you can't win football games.

And I have to hope that you come to my system and that you do well in it. So for y'all to say the Steelers have a better outlook on quarterback than the Bears do. Who have the number one pick and who people are thinking is a generational talent? That's crazy.

That's a field. It's not a generational talent. Y'all would agree to that, right? Right?

Yeah. Generational talent. He's never like a generational talent. He's never like a generational talent.

He's never like a laura. He's not like a must. But when I can say. It's a not a must.

If it does work out then he's gonna be leaps and bounds better than Justin feels So how do the Steelers have a better outlet than the better? Did Justin feels like a good situation during his four-year tenure in Chicago? That's he had just as good a situation as Justin Herbert you Absolutely not Cute On the show Man regardless regardless of the outcome for whatever Chicago does the answer is because regardless of whatever happens because It's a win-win-win situation no matter what Pittsburgh outcome for this season is the next year and it favors them in all three outcome The Russell wasn't as good you sign them for another like two years three years If Russell wasn't as bad and Justin feels good then you go like a genius if both of them suck you Reup and tank and you have a more stable organization and I don't trust you I would do anything with Kelly Williams. We're gonna be talking in three years that Kelly Williams can't win and blah blah blah until they make very heavy Infrastructural changes.

I do like Ken and Allen I do like either more they just signed the Andre Swift from the Eagles which was a really underrated signing But I don't know if they have play calling or do they have like GM like intellect and foresight to actually bolster a team around Kelly Williams, you know I could see next year being like a flash in the pan season and then a huge fall off or I can see this after from jump because it's Chicago Pittsburgh is Infrastructurally like better. I think just from Mike Thomas ability and the fact that he actually cares about coaching guys I think that fire move Jaylen the other running back behind Najaharis the two dual backs they have George Pickens looks like potential top-up wide receiver in the league He has that level of talent and you know I said fire move to tight in and they can have the best of why receiving court every single year from the draft because they just have Some of the best scouts when it comes to their skill positions. So you put Justin Fields you put Russell Wilson in the scenario I don't see how you can lose and even the both suck I still trust the Steelers to get a better quarterback even when Chicago has killed Williams in their grass right now What about you man? Yeah, I think I said in the group chat.

I thought Pittsburgh did a masterful job They I don't know how you could say that they didn't improve their quarterback situation overnight You know they went from having Mason Rudolph and Kenny Pickett to now having Russell Wilson and and and Justin Fields That's an upgrade in my book. I don't care what metrics or what measurements to talk about that's an upgrade for me Listen like you said There's not much downside to Pittsburgh situation because we know they don't have a quarterback anyway So if this bus completely well, we know that they need to go get a quarterback anyway So nothing really changes in that realm and if one of these two or both of them prefer You know ideally for Pittsburgh give them something then I think you have the ultimate situation where you're in a situation where you have a veteran That you could hand off to a young guy or a young guy that can take over for a veteran I you can get hurt or is it consistent or whatever so I think it's just an ultimate power move for Pittsburgh man I mean I think they just did a smart masterful job of improving the quarterback situation really Very simply without giving much assets or capital. I mean think about it. They're only paying Russell Wilson what I think Maybe the lead minimum or like or just yeah, yeah 1.3 million.

I mean think about that I don't I don't care how much and listen I'm not the biggest Russell Wilson fan, but I think all of us on this panel can agree that Russell Wilson is at least better than Kenny Pickett I don't even think that's saying much. He's better than Mason Rudolph Rudolph. So right there you're getting an improvement As for Chicago listen the thing with Chicago is they made a financial decision more than a Tactical decision Chicago's an point where they need to improve the infrastructure around any quarterback that they put out there If they were to keep Justin Fields the quarterback clock is finished now they're going into a situation where they have to pay him Maybe not her cousin's money, but they're have to pay him market value for a quarterback Which we all know is out of this world so that they had to reset the quarterback clock on their team So that's why they're in a situation where they're gonna pick Caleb Williams reset that quarterback clock Which resets their cap which allows them to go out and get a de or extend a DJ more which goes out Allows them to go out there and sign a key in Allen and a DeAndre so if so Chicago's thinking about like listen We could keep Justin Fields, but now we're gonna have to keep Justin Fields with all these weapons around and now we're gonna have to pay him $20 $30 million which which tanks their cap and they're gonna be in another situation again like that in a year or two So I think Chicago did the smart thing. I think Pittsburgh did the smart thing We'll see you we'll see who wins that train in a few years You don't think the business had anything to do with it.

I mean this guy's went oh 25 mil if his 50 your options picked up Yeah, absolutely clearly so it's like what was the question? I mean the business part of it, but the question though I'm saying in the beginning was better future, right? Mm-hmm So people are telling me like everyone sitting here saying that Pittsburgh has a better future at quarterback Y'all are telling me that y'all don't think that Caleb Williams will be better than Justin Fields So this is that what y'all know this is what we're telling you so You already asked him let me answer I want to know if I got you because I got you I got you you asked that I'm answering what we're saying is I rather have a good to potentially really good quarterback with a stable organization than an exceptional quarterback with a fucked up ass organization because that quarterback can go do nothing Yeah, that's also assuming that Caleb Williams is an exceptional quarterback like I think he's got the talent too But we don't know that we're just not proving it. I've seen Justin Fields have it What just feels not the start the question was that's here was between the bears and the still is which team well better Success with our QB situation in the long run.

It's going to be Caleb Williams How do you know that you would think is a bet? He was a better prospect than Justin Fields ever was right like no one ever talked about Justin Fields being generational talent Am I wrong to write? What is what is that? What is that?

We're talking about the future of the bears, Manny Even when they took Justin Fields, they weren't sure if he was good or not Just like you guys are saying all the nice you have Caleb Williams is good enough But there's a better chance that Caleb Williams will be good than there is to Justin Fields You know because we see just you playing NFL and win three games per year You know what you know what you can't stop your the one thing that can stop the generational talent that we talk about because I know he's talented I don't have a problem with Caleb Williams is the organization. That's who can stop him not even the defense is Is his own organization that's a shut that down. Trevor Lawrence was highly regarded just like Caleb Williams What is that? I'm talking about the whole thing.

The whole thing. The whole thing. I think that the bears organization is impossible for them to draft the quarter What's the last one? It's not even a man.

It's not even a man. It's not just the quarterback is what you surrounded with. It's also a coach in mind. All that stuff matters in that situation there is not is solid.

It's Pittsburgh. We see Pittsburgh with Mason Roo. We've seen them win with people off the street and why is that organization? Yeah, right.

And then you could look at other organizations and be like let's look at the Green Bay Packers for 30 plus years They got in the quarterback position right the bears haven't done it defensively. Now we're going to talk about defense will shit they have Brian Erlach and they had a lot of other guys But from a quarterback perspective the bears are not that organization and there's multiple organizations like that They haven't been that organization what I'm saying is this is the first time that they've had an opportunity to draft someone like Kayla Williams Okay, and you know what he's going on? All right, but from a prospect perspective is just like the coach have an opportunity to draft Andrew look He's supposed to be a generational talent that is in Kayla Williams. The bears have never been in this position.

Y'all are saying this about Justin Fields Y'all are saying this about Rex Grossman. Y'all are saying this about people who aren't Kayla Williams But you know the thing about this whole generational talent type of thing is that you can be exceptional But there's still levels to the shit because Andrew look went to the worst team and they made the fucking playoffs the next year right that is generational Trevor Lawrence has been generational Atro but because of Rome's no it's going to finish up because Trevor Lawrence was generational but the organization was so bad They picked the wrong echoes they picked everything wrong around them that it's that first year Trevor Lawrence look shaky We know that Trevor Lawrence is a damn good quarterback I'm not gonna say he saw five But he's a damn good quarter he could play in this league But we had to question that because of the organization and all I'm saying is Kayla Williams could be either great and all of a sudden they make the playoffs or we are going to question Can't tell him was playing an NFL because of how bad the organization is what do you got QM any? Some people some people would you know disagree with me But when you look at people like Matthew Stafford he like think about his first conversation in Detroit He couldn't live Detroit out of hell because Detroit's organization from the decision-makers to the people who are able to spend money The people who are supposed to be coaching on every single level from the top the head of the snake all the way down to positions coaches sometimes It's as much of a medical staff problem where guys don't invest in their medical staff to be able to get guys going trainers It's everything all the way down so it's like you can't lift an entire ship by yourself Where you can only be given the title of captain of the ship But that'll mean that you are you know I'm saying not able to Overcome the deficiencies of every single part of the ship that you don't necessarily control You're just the one who's given the keys to it. So you see guys like you know Smith I'm obviously this is a different talent barrier But you see the success he has a relative success in Seattle versus one where the Jets were in many can speak to that about what ten years ago The Jets were in shambles ten years ago, and now we're hoping that you know, I mean shit But it's like but we're hoping that we're Rogers they could do something but Justin Fields is in a simple situation where He could he's either gonna be Google stock in 97 or he's gonna be a bus One thing we do know is that Chicago has never been an incubator for any other talent to do anything in terms of success, bro It's Steelers regardless.

They just went five and one against the North It's he was have been known to run the North for the past like 20 years Spike I don't think you're wrong. I don't think your assessment is wrong I just think that the way you're framing it as like oh well the bears clearly won and the Steelers clearly lost And I think that's that's a mistake because I think both you could say that both got what they wanted out of this right like Chicago Recess their cap recessed the quarterback situation. They could potentially draft the next generation will great whatever whatever phrasing you want to use They get their next futures franchise quarterback and Pittsburgh gets an opportunity to say listen We got an opportunity to improve our quarterback room for relatively cheap for basically nothing 1.1 million and a six round pick they paid nothing and they upgraded their quarterback situation So both situations one they got what they wanted out of that now. We'll see in two three years What happens?

I'm not saying Justin Fields is gonna become the next Steve Yago the next Michael vehicle Whoever but I'm saying that he's an infinitely better situation I don't even think you can argue that he is an infinitely better situation than he was in Chicago Yeah, I agree with it. I do agree. He's in a better situation. Oh, that hurt Situation but I still think as many say to the beginning that my point stands though My point stands in the sense of the question was the success of the quarterback position amongst those two teams I'm the bears I feel a lot better than I would if I were the stills because there's still that option for them of like Me the one of these news may work.

Yeah, really good He's a better chance of being good than those two I'm not saying it because he came home and so he get a pass because he's not really a U.S. Court about There This is what the scouts are saying but you know it's crazy about just in fields this division got pretty much all black quarterbacks You look at Pittsburgh Cleveland got like four now Cleveland has four black quarterback Joe Barramites will be black Hollywood Brown Marquis Hollywood Brown signed to the Chiefs on a one-year deal worth up to 11 million And I guess people were excited about this are the Chiefs getting too comfortable with giving my homes bargain bin while receivers and before The question is answered. I just want to say I did not come up with That was that was all Jalen that wasn't me y'all pretty good. Yeah, that wasn't good I mean listen When you have a quick answer the question because that's the theme of today show right answer the actual question You know I think answer the question are they getting too comfortable?

I mean I guess you could say that but really realistically when you have a real generational talent like Patrick Mahomes that can literally make Lemonades out of literal lemonades or lemons like you're taking anybody you're gonna put them in a good situation because of the talent that you have At that quarterback situation the same thing with Brady Chris Hogan Tom Brady made Chris Hogan a thing for a few years Like this is the type of talent level that you're talking about the court of position So you're in a situation where the Chiefs feel like listen we don't necessarily have to break the bank to go get a wide receiver I'm sure little draft one I'm sure the development you know rice is a perfect example of that But I don't think they feel like they have to necessarily break the bank to go get a wide receiver when you have Patrick Mahomes You have that infrastructure what we talk about and also look at the trend a lot of these big time wide receivers don't always win championships I mean for all the great wide receivers out there. I mean team that had a great dominant number one receiver recently that has one Championships outside of Tyree Koe No, sorry, I was gonna say Tyree heal is what they're trying to recreate when you take when you take a look at what they added As opposed to what they tried to add you try to add Nicole Hartman you tried it with Their or we get oh there is there is yeah, this is what they're trying to do and then they bring in him He's not great from both those guys. So you look at Marquis Brown That's what you wanted those two to be and he played well enough in Arizona you put him with this team, huh? Where he played well enough what I mean is he's an upgrade over the two today Probably brown at 700 plus yard like multiple QBs before he's a deep threat.

Yeah, right? That's what you want from a field regardless it's not even about what you can do It's about what you have to plan for and that's what Patrick Mahomes is gonna take advantage of so if I send probably We're brown down the field He may not have the greatest hands of all time, but he can catch enough of those balls to where you have to respect it now No, but you can but you can like stretch another field to where the middle is wide open where you have rushy rice and chimes Cause I soon we come back for one or two more years and then you know, that's what the whole replication of the entire Receffectives, you know, so yeah, and you're able to scheme up a whole bunch of different looks that you didn't have less You and what this does is real quick and what this does too is and that's what my point was It allows them to not draft based on need necessarily they can play the board out They don't happen to necessarily rush to go out and draft or why receiver in the first round now They can kind of take their time because this is a deep wide receiver class Anyway, where they can find a ride receiver in a second or third round because you've addressed a need by adding a veteran that you Know you can plug in and play right away. So just it's just another smart move by another smart organization Yeah, so this is the thing right like I always talk about identity when we're talking about team sports And the thing personal identity with Hollywood bro. We know what he is He's a deep threat.

He's not gonna you not the over the middle wide receiver You send a man on nine routes and let it fly and we know that that's what he does He does it well With my co-hard man, he was there when Tyreke was there and then they brought they let him go and they brought him back He is their gadget guy. He's not that homerun hitter even though he does have homerun speed for whatever reason He's not utilized like that in that in that system He's just not that guy coderias Tony They wanted him for you know the short plays and stuff that she writes eventually became and is better at than what coderias Tony is So the thing of the fact of the matter is this we know that this is a deep wide receiver drive and the question was Can we still give him bargain bit pieces and still expect greatness? Yes, because he is that great and when you are that great of a quarterback Technically it don't matter what's around you because you elevate those guys and we saw it firsthand all last season I saw it from the first game against the line I said bro, what the hell is going on with these wide receivers right coderias Tony literally how one in this hand that he let go And it was pick six the other way and I'm like yo I watched that game I think my whole section is and I'm like that was not his fault It's not like he's making incorrect reads the wide receiver position is a Questionable at best and they figured it out at before the playoffs He said we're gonna play our best football he wasn't lying he held those guys accountable They went and got a guy that they know what he's gonna do we're not asked They're not gonna ask them to do nothing outside of what we know that you can do They will address it in the draft as well like Manny said this is a deep draft and there's a lot of different types of wide receivers You know saying this draft so I think they're gonna be fine because my homes is still that guy now We fast forward ten years and my homes loses a little bit of arm a little bit of physicality a little bit of this little That then it's like okay go get them the premier guy But right now And it's also unfair question right because the way their cap is set up now they just pay Christians We know they're paying Patrick moans the way the cap is you're not getting just a Jefferson You're not getting these guys right you're not getting t-higgans So you have to kind of be creative when you when you're in this situation when you're in this rare fight here that the chiefs are in You have a franchise level Hall of Fame goat level quarterback You have to find smart ways to add weapons around it without necessarily breaking your cap So you do that by finding diamonds in a rough you do that by drafting and developing guys Which is really done with rice so that's the way that they're doing it and I don't think it's a wrong way And Manny there's always gonna be casualties right like luxurious need is a casualty they pay Christians out I felt that that's the right move Chris Jones not saying that luxurious is you know South definitely a top seven corner top five corner in the lead but Chris Jones impacts a lot more than Lajarius and then we know this I talked about a couple years ago They drafted that whole secondary and they want to circle ball at one demonstrating for more rookies So guess what put on your big boy pants your leader is a casualty we can't afford him But guess what we're gonna pay one of you who's it gonna be it's easier to find a shut down corner Then it is to find a dominant interior defensive line 100% of them just don't they just don't make them on trees And so they just you have when you got a hold on some Does that apply to the Dallas situation they They are restructured that's contract. They didn't hold on to Tony Pollard.

So they let him go I remember all the people screaming that he's replaced. Hey, you're not Smith. Yeah. Yeah Has this offseason started as a failure or does everyone need to talk down here?

It's disappointing is disappointing when they come out of say that we're going all in and then Going all in as we sign a McCarthy and restructuring decks deal But right to Dallas like wait before you continue what would you what would you have liked to see like what is realistically what they could have done under Their current success before you go ahead. I would like for them to as Kim just restructuring decks contact contract was important I also think it's very important to add a playmaker in the backfield That's when Dallas is most effective So signing Henry or one of the six backs that had been doing tremendous in the league prior to last year Henry or my man Aside with the Packers who else am I thinking about say one of the running back say Juan Barkley doing that I felt like would have been effective however many Dallas drafts good players. I know people don't like to hear that But you talk to me lamb Michael Parsons Dak press card. Excuse me that dress card Frederick Yeah, the retiretors Diggs like we do very well in the draft and have been doing very well in the draft for the last couple of years So no, it's not sexy to be able to develop your own talent that way Especially when you say oh we're going all in we want to win But a lot of the takes that I've been hearing in the mainstream sound about right to me No, I'm not really sure how committed Jerry Jones is to winning because if you were I committed to winning and wanting to win Super Bowl before he died he would make the free-aches players like you don't have a conversation with Derek Henry You're like, okay, well, it's price to how we're not gonna sign him That's not what you do However, if you can say relevant as the Cowboys have over the last 30 years without going to a Super Bowl without having as much success As their fans would like them to if you can say relevant doing it the way that you've been doing I wouldn't do that it's the number one value franchise of sports So I'm really getting to the point as a fan and I think that he really don't give a fuck if we win a Super Bowl And I it matters to him if the Cowboys stay relevant.

It's all about branding that have I not been saying this shit for some years now I don't know about it. Yeah, I see you know The issue has been Jerry Jones this is gonna continuously be Jerry Jones. It is what it is It is disappointing though to know that it has such a good regular season And then they go into the playoffs and they lay that egg and then now they go into free agency And it's like what is what like what's happening? You know, it doesn't feel like the actions in the words ain't matching up There's no feel like all in right now, you know, and at the end of the day you look at Philly Philly got better with Sequn Jaz got better burns the time's got better with burns, you know, obviously they still need a quarterback, but it is what it is Better like this So, you know, like you look around the NFL and the top what should be competing and it's like they're sliding off the treadmill They can't keep up, right and that's the issue.

That's a that's a big time issue And I don't know what you're gonna do, but I don't think that you're first and foremost. I say this The players need to shut the hell up and I'm glad that I have not heard Michael Parse say nothing I haven't heard that Prescott say nothing Michael Parse is kind of say what he said. Oh, he was just like they need Like the leaders need to be the leaders I'm okay with that. I'm not okay with guaranteeing.

We're gonna win and we're gonna do this He's he's a sicology And calling your own teammates out your or your own organization say hey, we need to step up I'm okay with that. That's leadership But when you start guaranteeing shit and saying we're gonna do this work Hey, bro, you started right checks that your your teammates in this organization can't cash You know, and your play has been very suspect what you do so for me be quiet and let it play out Let you let your your play on the field do the talking You know the problem is no one is calling them out, but I'll be the first one to call them out Jerry Jones got to come into the new generation. He has to get a black QB. This is the fucking problem In If we've been from you have time if we've been for real though when it comes to Dallas I do think that it is just a matter of Jerry kind of being a little bit too ego maniacal man You know, I think some years he's counting money some years.

He's counting wherever events but every year I feel like he's doing just enough He's like, you know, you ever have like that karma that you know how to really like not fill it up all the way with gas Because it can get you to certain places you like man I ain't got a foot all the way because I can get there without having to pay the money That's what that is with Jerry. He's like I feel like we can get there, but I ain't gonna go pay I ain't about to go get one year old though, but do that because I'm not trying to pay no luxury So at the end of the day Jerry's just a little bit cheap But I feel like he does have a delusion of danger that this is good enough to get there I don't think Jerry Jones. I don't think anybody could really listically call Jerry Jones cheap But I think what the Cowboys are in is the situation where you have a pretty good quarterback that you're paying goat money And when that happens you put yourself in a situation where you're just good enough to win and compete for the playoffs But you're not good enough to win championships. You're kind of in this like no man's land So you're for instance with Dak Prescott, we know he's a good quarterback But he's getting paid Patrick Mahomes money and when that happens it just completely just completely flips your whole situation now Because now you're paying that quarterback what 30 40% of your cap.

I know they restructured it So it's probably lower now, but you're still paying him a significant portion of your cap You also have Michael Parsons that needs a deal eventually, you know You got the you know the Marcus Lawrence that you're paying you got other guys that you're paying on that team So now you're in a situation where it's like, okay, we got to make smart decisions with our money What are we gonna do? Are we gonna go out there and sign a Derek Henry who I think it would have been the signing that they should have Made but you have to think about like are we really in a position where we're gonna invest on a 31-year-year-old running back? You know some will say yes, right if you're in the cowboy situation you're gonna be like well Why can't we just go find our own Derek Henry and pay him cheap? Yes, especially we've been successful doing that over the last few years with a Parsons with a CD line with exactly They think that they can do it in a draft which I'm not too sure If that's true though The NFL spike has come to a place where you have to do it in both the draft and the free agency like yes Like the Eagles routinely for the past I would say before we went and got out showing Jeffrey And like 2017 or Carson wins is only good year with us We were very cheap.

We didn't really go out and sign a lot of guys We kind of try to draft and build guys up and whatnot But it's like we had to go out and get the Tory Smith's and we had to go and get out strong We had to go and pay people and over the last seven years We've been kind of maneuvering in and out of our analysts. Let's drive some guys. Let's trade some pieces Let's spend the money Let's take the risk and that's just Jeff Lurry as an owner trusting how he rose in and I don't know if Jerry trust Stephen enough To give him the full checkbook. I don't know what's going on right the point of it is when you have an owner That's your GM.

There's really no pressure. He does what he wants to do He makes decisions based off how he feels as opposed to it's a little different when your job is on the line And you're making these decisions you put a little bit more thought into it when you're doing it from his standpoint He's playing a video game at this point and it's not working out. It is working for him. It's making him money I think that's the most important thing to you.

That franchise gonna make money anyway and It's I feel like that's what he's mainly concerned. Yeah, he's gotten it to the point where it is not now He deserves a lot of credit for how big the Dallas star he is But at the same time you got to put people in place that can help you make these decisions I think you're going through the motions when you talk about trying to me are they are they are worth invested He's really invested in the Dallas Cowboys brand when you're talking about trying to win a Super Bowl He's going through the motions. Oh, the Georgia Here's the other thing to the Cowboys in the NFC the NFC outside of the 49ers like is there another I'm an 18 that you know So I feel like the I feel like a lot of this is also like the 40 of the Cowboys feel like listen We're not gonna necessarily break our backs to try to go out here Just go all in guns blazing, you know go over the cap and go over the legery tax when the team we got right now You could arguably say is as good as they were last year if not maybe a little bit better Again, it's hard to say because we don't know what the finish product is without seeing the full draft He's a play out, but I think the Cowboys are fine man. I mean listen.

I get it I think it's easy to sit there and be like I say anything about this fans one unrealistic things right like oh Cowboys fell short last year. Well, let's go out and get you know Justin Jefferson Let's go out and get Chris Jones. Let's go out and get there's a salary cap Gentlemen, it's a salary cap and you're paying that Prescott $45 million a year So realistically you are not going to get these big-time players and does Derek Henry push you over the top enough where you're Where it justifies signing him. I think Derek Henry does that for the Ravens.

I don't know if he does that for the Cowboys I think take one part Well, yes, he does I think there he does I was gonna say because you take you take a look at what their human ranks So the tables poses Tony Paula you already got an upgrade So whatever upgrades the position and that's the position of weakness for that team that team is pretty strong across the board Except for the fact that they didn't have a RV one back in line back. Yeah, so yeah, Derek Henry does push the needle even at At 30 31 yeah, even then he pushes the needle It comes down to half Prescott and you know say my podcast It comes down to the niggas man like you have to be able to trust that when those chips are on the table And I don't know like we keep looking at everybody off in coordinators money that we should be spending but it's like and every Like if I could do a magic trick and fast forward us the February and that press guys lined up on this center and it's playoff game Do we have any faith that that's gonna be the first question? You know what I'm saying? I'm gonna finish the question.

No answers. No, what I did wonder and what's been perplexing me all week is They said that Tom Brady took these deferments or whatever it may be when the Patriots were winning and now we see Patrick the Holmes when the same thing with the Chiefs But we see quarterbacks like that press guy or Kirk cousins asking for the best like why would each quarterback understand that because you need to these Quarterbacks are not They're not they're not Tom Brady and Patrick my home. I don't know. I don't think they understand I can take less money He goes in amazing He goes amazing even more so than that many security it's a time ready Tom Brady and that's the home thing going nowhere So they also they also they also see the thing is that press guy from a marketing standpoint is not Patrick my home's got They for money right?

Again, I'm which is right crazy to me that no other quarterback is like we'll try it because no other quarterback has a security those two you name And people that's a mention pretty had yourself bunching by the way You can get those indoors at this point you already know really really good Have you seen a tear his hour clip when he's talking to all the black basketball players like nigga They made you black they white that's just it bro like Magic my homes got hella bread and he already won he could have been a movie star if you wanted to you know He's a producer doing productions and stuff. Yeah, you see what Fox sign up to you say the blast We got Nick coming up with this video And J. You're all for that title of That whole clip man. Yeah, boy.

Wow man Another dead-end sports who deserves this respect for this week It's out now the reddit post that I did I keep talking about it actually out now So by the time y'all see this it's already out and it's there for y'all You know have at it submit your names ideas whatever hot takes just post on I'll figure it out I find a way but for this week who deserves this respect um to me is the whole NBA I'm gonna say the whole NBA you know why because no one is really taking the New York knicker bikers seriously this I mean I just see them busted ass What's your baker candlestick maker and Jalen Brunson in the starting five I'm building over next you know I'm saying with top four in the east about a game or two out from the third spider east the cabs was still up there But yeah, I mean Jalen Brunson come on first of all Jalen Brunson is on the greatest contract in his dream I opinion because what the next guy for him when he signed to what the production is going out I mean, he's honestly he's honestly a Scotty paper anyone I'm gonna say this you're top three point guard this I'm gonna say yes, yeah, once they get all the rent was still out Oh gee unfortunately got hurt again But he's gonna come back by the playoffs like and even then the display off team what we got as long as Steve doesn't run him into the ground We good So yes the disrespect is coming from no one acknowledging that the New York Knicks are here to stay and we gonna Wait this guy was here live always was here live Or three look first off shot. I get just Alexander's playing better than Brunson He's leading the MVP voting right now. Oh, is he okay? I know it's been to him and Joker he took over but um Steph Curry in my opinion is still better than Jalen Brunson.

I agree. Oh, Tyree's Halliburton is having him up taking up Take it off. Yeah, he's gonna fail off the cliff. What an injury, but I mean it's not crazy I don't know it's not crazy.

I think I think you can say Jalen Brunson's top five That's not crazy to say if you want to say he top two I mean, okay, but even then like I don't think Curry has done anything like in like miraculous this season He's been stuff. He's been great. He's all time great Steph is miraculous by just being himself for sure, but it's like look at his team No, like I think that Jalen Brunson actually deserves more MVP love if we talk about like being a valuable player to the 16 and Jason Taylor miss and I and I've been saying that all season I get it because he's left because he's left he's been left to do it alone since Julius Reynolds been out and it's been him So he doing it alone because it's really We're talking not just about his ability on the court, but like the leadership that he's given man It's like it's it's exemplary and I think that if you want to you know the name Taliban curry Luca if you put him as a point guard for sure harden maybe just if you look at just from like a Controlling the pace type of you know perspective floor general perspective yet you can put any of these guys in a top five order But they'll embrace it. We're talking about Shay Gilch's yokech He's in that top five for me in terms of if you take the player off the team Do they think it's him Joelle yokech Shay in Brunson so far am I mean that clearly show that they've been carrying the load all season Right.

Yeah, all right. Well, there you have it Nick that is fine is um Who else has been operating at their finest peak levels? We were talking about him about two episodes ago Whether or not he could carry this team without Carly Anthony towns that night they were trailing Versus I forgot what they were playing maybe forget the caps. Yeah, they came back and they won again And so far he's he's stepping up right last night This is how you make a name for yourself.

Mm. When you do what you did to John Collins. Oh my god I saw CNN had it like the story everybody was everything seeing in response recipe. I call it.

Yeah, that's how you become a Face of the NBA finger, bro, so You know, we made the Wells last year, so I mean it do we see him reaching LeBron or Jordan or I like to throw in curries on the face of the NBA thing is simple if he wins He will be a face of the NBA. That's it's not that hard guys You know if you win and you're in contention for championships year in a year out He wasn't when titles but he was he was until the whole gun situation John Moran was considered one of the faces of the league because his team would look at what he transformed Memphis do in such a short amount of time It's the same thing with Literally I mean listen, I think of Minnesota is in contention year in a year out and he continues to play at this level I think he could definitely be a face of league but he is the win guys You know, we there's a lot of guys that score a lot of points have flashy dunks and do all the other things that they ain't that And does but it's the winning it's being in contention year in and year out where you're a guy that's looked at as a As a championship contender as a guy that elevates into winning if he does that and I think he's easily a face of the type of guy What 100% I think winning is a big part of it But I think the biggest thing is do the youth can they do they see themselves in you? You know what I'm saying like the youth sees themselves in John Moran, which is why John Moran before everything happened why he was being promoted Right, and it's also play style on the court job. He tried everybody.

He come down to labor When he back healthy and when be down there, he gonna try to don't know when he don't care Yeah, okay, so that mentality obviously at man has that mentality trying to dunk everything You know what I'm saying? So the winning is what really catapult you but the foundation is laid on play style and do other people see you as Themselves like are you relatable and it has that it has all of everything remember I talked about it With the Olympics, I don't remember this past summer summer before whatever but his mentality when Steve curse Hey, you know the way he came off the bench and he's like well, there's no Kobe on his squad Like what is we talking about right and how he took over being a star among stars? That's what the face of the NBA does and can you you brought it up? Can he lead his team without cat?

What would you say to answer this look like he's doing it so far? Yeah, Trey cat The great thing about him and how he translates especially to generation that we loved is like he has the attitude that you want The best player in the NBA to help he ain't friendly with everybody He ain't dappin it up with people like he has said even I've seen a post game interview of him this week And they were asking him about his where you get your mentality from he's like my brother He's like always used to beat me never let me win He said I feel the same way about people when I'm competing against them on a basis I never want to let you win my one-on-one matchup like whatever it is I'm competing to win and that's such a 90s that's such a Michael Jordan that's such an arrow that we love and propelled him up to beat up because he had that mentality Like everybody else not like that like I'm not sure if Jason Taylor is like that I'm not sure if what's my man in Phoenix book? I'm not sure if he's like that people gravitate more towards people like a Anthony Edwards because they like to see that mentality That's why people love joy. It's why people love Kobe if your mom with mentality So yeah, if he can keep that up and like Manny said if he can continue to win Yeah, you're looking at somebody who's going to have this is big a impact as a Jordan as a curry again If he can win, I'm not sure if Minnesota is the place to do it though That would be my only concern That type of thing where you got a Minnesota room even more so than that keep post rising people The more people you put on poses the more your sports in the more highlights your own the more impact and more No, the right of you get and stay out of here That's the biggest part.

I'm just confused by the question because we're talking about the face of the league Like I don't think there's gonna be any face like singular face of the NBA for foreseeable future I don't think they're branding themselves like that. This is a Marvel Cinematic you know man Like this is a Marvel Cinematic universe that they're building they're trying to find like by committee like they're trying to correct All right, when he's down in San Antonio Right in the old guard like staph Lebron they're like four Iron Man and Captain America and shit You know, I'm right and then Miles Morales and all these little niggas that you don't know like who the fuck like that's who But inherently inherently I see what you're saying is a good point cute But inherently there's always somebody that rises to the top and becomes that person You know that when you're sure but it's not sure and it has a lot to do with winning Who's that who's the person that we see in the finals every year? Who's the person that we're seeing in commercials? Who's the person that we're seeing that?

To that many is that Lebron still dominates the playoffs when he doesn't make it you see you see the the dip in Ratings and People want to see him win if you want to see him lose so clearly But also it's a it's the LA market when he's not there You saw when the Lakers didn't make it that one year or when they get bounced out the first round And I don't think that people are if I asked an average sports fan Do they know who Anthony Edwards is right now they know they probably don't know anything you know I'm saying but if Anthony Edwards gets to a finals like three times in the next like eight years Maybe they'll begin to realize it, but it's like if you don't win then we're talking about just need to go to a bigger market Well, that's what I'm saying I know it's gonna go and you're right about that cue I think they're trying to build it that way because you don't want to sell these short ticket packages You're not trying to get the people going to a few games out of the year You want them to go see whatever team is in the city and like you said if you got storylines all over the league The lead comes more popular and when you build it around that guy leaves and when that guy gets hurt when I got tired And it's also I'm just looking at how the NBA is trying to brand on international scale and like there's all like You know what I mean, this is starting this whole band the European players way even what not It's hilarious, but it's like that is indicative of where the NBA is going where they're trying to get yokech and Luca And like I'm traveling around right now, and I see nothing but Luca Donch's jerseys around Europe like it's like it's everywhere from like the Eastern Europe to Western Europe, it's it's everywhere and You see that the NBA is floating out having games in Brazil They're floating having games in New Mexico City and they're voting about having a tournament in Dubai So this is very much so them trying to build like I'm saying the fact of a Marvel universe where? Ironman in Captain America. They bought a bow out Kirby's 36 and LeBron is like 40 years old So you have to kind of uphold the sky together everyone has to team up and the NBA has to become like almost like a carnival attraction of Yo, we can go to this ride and see this we go to that ride and see that or even go to San Antonio Zion's in New Orleans Hopefully he stays healthy. Okay, the Kings are maybe they'll come up Maybe Edwards will become one of the highest selling shoe markets Maybe Kyrie can get another like ring another point Luca stays on top yokech.

It's everybody. It's not just any cue anymore You know your your point is is a great one But I think it only is accentuated if you see less of player mobility if you see Anthony Edward staying in Minnesota If you see Zion re-upping into others if you see in these top players these great players staying in this market if you get away from that Trend of oh, I want to go play with my best friend from a you Oh, I want to go play with my cousin and them because they cool We was cool back and it like just I think you need stars dispersed around the league And I think that's where your point makes more sense than say in the current structure We're in a couple years you got to worry about if Anthony ever just gonna leave Minnesota to go play with his friend from high school Well, that's what the expansion is what I was a expansion right Seattle Vegas the international do wise Brazil I just listen that's international money coming into NBA that's gonna satiate the construction of arenas and new fan bases that get you know Pouring into the into these arenas. So maybe we'll see more movement But it might be to bigger markets like anything I was to be with the biggest attraction in Vegas if you know in seven years of they were like we're not gonna see movement And the reason is the collective bargaining agreement. They've made the tax penalties for going over the salary cap even more difficult You know the same so they're obviously the NBA understands their product They want players to feel empowered, but at the same time They understand how it is detrimental for the entire league when you have the LA Clippers LA Clippers You can't you can't sustain that business model for more than maybe two years, right?

Number one Russell Westbrook is on a veteran minimum contract, right? They're not gonna be able to read up to out of the other three so people are gonna have to walk So the league has put financial restrictions in place to disperse that talent in addition to Expanding the league adding two more teams and in the future. We already know that the NBA makes a lot of international money I think Dubai is a little too far, but you know I think we could definitely see a team in the very near future in Mexico South America You know country that are a little bit closer just because of the rigors of an NBA schedule like they say flying to Dubai Like no, no, no, but that's gonna be a tournament is what they're saying is that they're a minty tournament into back So no one hundred percent people are gonna to live for that shit Like people are good at you're saying so That's a really good place and that's a good place No, I was gonna say I think the NBA has other issues than who's the face of the league I think the NBA's got a lot of stars I think they have other issues like the like devaluing of their regular season That's that's to me more important than who's the face because again It's a lot of different things it's winning. It's how you carry yourself on and off the court There's a lot of different elements that are put into that But yeah, I think the NBA's gonna go by and Anthony I was definitely is one of the people that the NBA is gonna is gonna start marketing if they haven't done so already Shit, and they just added gambling.

So what was they got Tim Donahue Timwool? What was the referee? Yeah, yeah, I heard he sent in his application But I think that I think that I think at May I think you might gotten this row I think you know I think maybe I think you pointed it out a couple of years ago Shelf like when you first got in the league that his interviews, you know are funny and the speech personality Yeah, and he resonates with this generation in a way that they understand So even when he wasn't winning on a level like he was funny and people enjoyed that and and went to an end To see what he's gonna say and you know He you know he gets you know, he just didn't know what he just did like that circulated around and to your point Also, she'll think when you're dunking on people like imagine the number of people that didn't know Anthony Edwards saw that on CNN and Fox and everywhere It was covered that made tune in watching that game because they don't want to miss out on it But so I think which we but you know you got to put numbers on the board and you got to win like that's what happened with the way Way the way way was a guy in college market had that triple double huge win went to the NBA crazy Jordan S Run and boom he was off running just that one title team double LeBron It was you know taught LeBron and then was offered off the race as a comparison. Yeah, yeah, that's a very doable path So can you do that?

Steph Curry Steph Curry was electric in college people love to see him she's three game in injury real career Then he started just lighting up the board and he became a sensation to watch before he even won Yeah, one titles then off to the races So, you know the path the path is there and somebody has to replace these guys somebody has replaced LeBron somebody has to replace Curry and Just like somebody had to replace replace Iverson which brings us to the next question where LeBron said that Curry and Iverson are the most influential players since he has been watching Elite What do y'all think about that you think he's right about that? LeBron yeah, I agree I agree to that. I think Curry has LeBron just into it. Yeah, but yeah Hold on man.

The reason being is because the normal person can't do what Jordan did we were fascinated by like oh shit This motherfucker can move walk you to fly. He said and he's doing all of this crazy shit that the average person can't do Well, you look at AI. It's like I like what do you mean? I if he could do what I could do you look at stuff like outside of his shooting superpower Physically what's imposing about my closing?

He's a normal guy And he's everybody's talking breeze Yeah, I Your coworkers at Amazon distribution I do ask you yo, you got a lighter at your job. I should when you want break kicking it like that's the guy And you're saying they wait this is the dude who's going up on your own shack like What's going on 50 in the finals game? You know so and the AI just from the text the swag the stylization curry with you know making kids who are under six foot feel Like I don't really have to be the most like let it guy I just got to be able to work on my shot get to the lane and you know saying like have a gravity like it stuff really Revolutionized having gravity a our head swag any other crossover? So you can you can't teach those things you can't teach me in 68 and being a freaking gazelle going down the lane You can't teach me in 66 skywalker, you know, you can't do that.

Yeah, I agree I think that both of them had a tremendous impact in different ways to I think AI's impact was more It's definitely on the court, but I think off the court I think when AI came in you really saw the embrace the melding of hip-hop in NBA Jada comes in there What we know now right before you know kids may not remember this, you know whoever's watching in the audience is younger than 30 But there was a time in the NBA wouldn't really embrace the hip-hop culture like that And a obviously the first player that really brought that hip-hop culture to the mainstream in the NBA And so I think that that's what so there was a generation of kids that literally grew up with Alan Iverson being you know They're introduction in a lot of ways to basketball outside of obviously Jordan But and then staff conceptually changed the way basketball is thought of it's played everything I know I know can't got kids, but you know and if I like I have kids that my son who's starting to play a you To a man every every single one of us curry. Yeah, they all want to be separate Yep, they all want to be all out like it's half court for relatability man Steph Curry is he's relatable like you know these six three's what maybe at most maybe 180 200 I'm always right he doesn't he's not that big so he's relatable is different That you know going back to the question about Anthony Edwards I think that's the only thing that might keep Anthony Edwards would be in that truly like relatable figure because again He's six eight can can literally stop over. He's six five six five six whatever. Yeah, yeah Yeah, you know he's got a lot of that Jordan in him right where you know, it's like man You're marveling at the athletic feet with Steph.

It's just proficient Things and in the way and being good. Yep, exactly. So still yeah, man They both had it. They had a tremendous impact and Kobe too.

Kobe's another one that had a tremendous impact I think Kobe's impact is more on NBA players like if you listen to NBA players, you know, basically this generation of NBA players It's not necessarily Mike anymore It's Kobe to a man. It's all been Kobe every single I mean, there's a lot of baby Kobe's out there because Kobe's Kobe gave people a philosophy AI gave people style and Curry gets people work ethic, you know, I'm saying Mike just gives you I'm the shit You can't do anything about this LeBron gets you God God gave me this but when you talk about AI it style curry gives you Yo, put your lunch pill and your hard-hand on and go to work and Kobe's like, oh, here's how I think the game Here's how I live the game. Here's how I breathe it. Here's the philosophy about around how you can only win in basketball But in life a fly.

Hey, I was back story to a I was back story I should have in Virginia with the trial and him or something. I'm losing his scholarship I want to go to that story Steph is so influential he does something no man has ever been able to do was make women's basketball even to take it Man see you You could argue that his game if you was Kaitlyn Clark juju. Yeah, like all of the girls I had a problem like you were saying with the lunch pill stuff like that stuff like if you ask a car ask about now It's not a basketball period exactly and it makes it a lot more entertaining Like I would never sit and watch women's basketball 10 years ago But because of the stuff curry influence when I see juju played or I see Kaitlyn Clark It's like, okay, I'm familiar with that. That's recognizable never cuz it happens in the men's game.

I think that's a big Quince and woman can't create their own shit, you know See but yeah, I'm an obviously with the shoe sleeve everybody would a shoe to the everybody got braised in the head man back It's like it's a man People's job, what you doing over there? No bear over here. I know people agree with you Last one we have here about the nicks they won four straight games and apparently that's a topic Thanks Nick It's a title was a monster like he's supposed to be and you thought they're all made they go to the like they go They just give you the self. Yes, bro.

I believe I believe I believe what I do in tight y'all crazy I'm with you. Yeah, now y'all are crazy first of all They don't have the talent and how to size to deal with with that team for seven games Yeah, cuz we're not talking regular season I you know, I played you, you know three nights ago and then we're playing you again. No, we're talking seven games I know what you want to do, you know what I want to do you got to stop me I don't see the nicks being able to do that. I'm not But but bad place we know it is bad place we know that we know that nicks are one star away from really I don't this I don't I think the next next the next the next the next need their Kawhi Leonard You remember how Toronto was before I got there, you know, they were like it's like man It's a good team, but they need that that that one player to put up to the top I thought he's a he's a he's the anchor.

He's the anchor, but they need another guy there that can really make I don't think it's Julia's random. I think Julie's really good player battle Me carl Anthony talents is a more talented Julius Randall. I don't think that I think that can be The next it's gonna be tough cuz we know what you this randomly is and he'll be back by that time So it's gonna be really tough to beat a Celtic team in the playoffs. Why are you saying it?

Because Julie's Randall dominates the basketball when he's on the court in playoffs. What about the Celtics make you think I think it's match ups for me when I look at it who's gonna match up with Jason Tatum even though You know how I feel about his mentality doesn't step up. He's the only person I could be himself This got the same problem But okay, so then we put on Jenna Brown You should be worried about Janet Brown. What do you mean why?

When you a playoff series you can win a series Here Q Q I went you on on the Celtics, but my thing is it's the next and what they brought to the table They had a really good you I told Nick early. I was like man They've been hoping Jenna Brown's been hoping last night C. Jamie Bryant had like I already They got some place. Are we sure the next can be the bucks?

You're right But while they're back man Books the books talent wise. I think they're ahead of the next now I'm getting matters. Oh she matters and listen Tim's has his his issues in the postseason as well, too I mean he tends to wear players out too. So listen I think the next are I think the here's what the next the next are a very good team that have an opportunity to at the very least get to a Conference violence now from there.

What's your net? What happens? That's good. That's the best take that's the best thing I go to Vegas to sell my house on the next one in the championship this year.

No, I will now. Oh, would you Do that for a spike's power rankings? Oh, what you're up nets? Let's see I got cooked up.

I think this is going to be fairly agreeable. All right, well, we'll be agreeable Okay, we'll see and then right after that, you know, we're gonna talk about the best thing in sports. Mmm. Remember y'all All right number five of power wank is the best free agent signings so far Number five is Brian Burns Chach or the other kid to below.

I think that that's gonna be a really really is that really a real free agent signing though That's a trade exactly. He's not afraid of sign. He got signed to a new team top five got your teams next year Next at number four. I think this is a great pick up by the packers Josh Josh Letting Russian two years ago last year was up and down with the Aaron Jones Raiders, but I do think that the quarterback Jordan Love is gonna be you think it's up great over Aaron Jones?

Yes Big up Wow, I think it's a big up there. I believe in Russia But Aaron Jones is better pass catcher. I don't think you know these are better pass catcher than Josh Jacobs. Yes, yes Number three It's a scary Lapping this now because I was making such a big case earlier about the Steelers being more successful with the quarterbacks one year 1.2 million dollars throw him out to absolute the great sign for still He's never gonna be that long snap of that Long snapper I Can't hate him having to run it back to the back field at all times If you got if you got somebody like if you have two people that can run the ball like him it hurts Yes, and then absolutely no quarterbacks in the backfield.

It's interesting the approach to taking No running back We got to Yeah, we're gonna jump to the best thing in sports and who started over first This week so we can start off with Nick does anybody want to guess what next on us the next well, let me You got to get well, yeah, right on brand so the best thing in sports that he saw this week was Josh I Know my check here's yeah now now again. Yeah, but Josh hard is putting up some crazy crazy numbers Steel rebounds and since he's doing it all hit for a guy his size to be grabbing what 1214 boards a game is ridiculous And he's doing it consistently game after game after game and he's getting over 10 to 60 game So he's doing all the little things for that next team that's necessary for the win It's playing good defense. It's crazy. It's crazy the numbers He's with nothing I still I asked that takes the other day was like what in the world is going on with Josh I haven't been watching all the games lately, but I've been watching the ticker So I'm watching you know him do this stuff in real time, but it's been crazy I didn't send anything in but I can give like off time like something.

I think is one of the best things to sports You know, oh well, I guess after yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, all right Spike you want to give yours? Absolutely. I think everybody's saying this we just talked about it best thing is what this was Anthony It was making a complete victim out of charge I heard dude in the picture afterwards with him crying like right there when it was like flexing over top him And I was amazing. Did you see him say this year?

I gotta get my jersey He said that I got to get to I got his oh man. He's so bad the luckiest person in the world I was also reached up though because he got docked on too, but I nobody talking about his don't yeah That's when this bad. Yeah, he got no time right here. I'm just like Why?

Hey, man, you know that look man that doesn't mean too, but it's not this yeah, it's not Go back and look up that look up the ossary I see I see you know what you know what? I was the reason probably a very appreciate that he's white today because yes We had it all exactly what was that way? That was what happened to me at one point. Yeah, yeah, it's like that he got hard, but it's like right Right, right He already playing the Utah Wait, he really had a concussion after the game.

He grabbed his hand. I put it in the chat and somebody just put it in the chat Get it dunked on and getting CTs nasty Oh Quite a sight Zalen sorry, I'm bad, but um the one I know everyone else has it but um LeBron and JJ redix podcast That they started called mind the game. I thought that was a pretty pretty monumental You know like LeBron James jumping into the podcast world doing uh, you know I think it's weekly or monthly or whatever they can do yeah So it's weekly with a JJ redick where you're gonna be breaking down I guess tape or breaking down x's and o's and how to think the game different sets and you know Just the different ins and outs that we don't see from you know jared redik he hates doing first take But the money so good that he's gonna keep doing it But he very clearly does not like the format of this guy's the greatest player in the world today And then you have to change that opinion three days and justify it to take it's the best in the world So this is his way of being able to get his Shout out to many that whole Duke into intelligentsia bs off every day I understand the game from a different perspective unlike these peons who were just talking about Stephen A Smith and that's where this is coming in. So I think you can check that out if you go I don't know where you can get it, but I think it's on Spotify Apple Wherever you can get pocket Yeah, they shake shake shake shake shake shake gonna be pissed because he was left out there too Thanks Hey, my my real quick, um, Kevin Keats Um, NC State will pack one the ACC tournament, which was huge Uh, they beat my nook and i'm tar hill so i was very very disappointed and I was hurt But at least we got beat by black man and DJ burns was from my hometown shout out DJ Man, they had a great they put they won five games in five days, which is ridiculous to do And they knocked off some top intended men so that team and they played great basketball So I shot out today and see steak with pack basketball team and i'm looking forward to watching them in the tournament I think they can make a deep run if they can get their legs back under him, but they were impressive They look really good.

So I got two things real quick. Um, I know, uh, we can't intro this segment I would say webbing. I'm definitely webbing. I'm a him and David Robison are the only rookies To have 30 points 15 rebounds and five blocks and five assists in the one game Um, the assistant of blocks I think it was seven webbing yama has just been crazy this season And as the season has prolonged his play has got better And we see that with top tier rookies like once they get a little bit past the off star break They understand.

Oh, this is the speed of the game. It starts to slow down for them They start to dominate even more. Um and when beat is that guy? Um and q and lu if you talking about the jj reddit and la bron jane's podcast Which I think is obviously gonna do numbers because of a little broad and jj's already a very strong state called in the podcast game Caitlyn gender and lamar olimar also a sports podcast.

They are Is it called transition defense or is it? I'm not even gonna touch that one. I'm I You make you impressed. So that's about to be very interesting I think they're about to do numbers because people are gonna be intrigued to see what these takes are the mar olimar olimar Yes, yes They have good chemistry date they relate it kind of Well, he's daughter or he was the first daughter moving on moving on Moving on Is In their podcast there is nothing being discussed Is it Best thing uh, you know fire up the pike.

I'll tell y'all all about it. No my god pausing Best thing in sports, uh, thank you back in office Shelton's appointment He started the NCAA tournament it's the best time of year for me I gave it to me a love tournament started tonight wagner and how we had a pretty good game came down to the last Couple seconds. I know we've been recording this so god I can see that but uh march man is here man I mean you already seen it with the conference tournaments and you have somebody been stolen over the weekend and uh, you know, So it's a wide open tournament is no dominant team outside of maybe ucon So it's a wide open tournament. It's about eight or nine teams at the queen national championship So it's the best time of year sports man.

So that's the sports class basketball For your sleeper. Oh, well, you got to do a video on it. Like you said, who's your sleeper, man? Who's your sleeper team sleeper?

And uh I don't have a sleeper but a team that I don't think a lot of people were talking about is Tennessee I think Tennessee has a real chance man. Rick Barnes teams are always sketching in the tournament So that's the only thing that's keeping me from fully embracing them But you know, I think Tennessee has a really good chance man. Dalta connect is one of the best players in college basketball So they finally have that guy that could just take over a game You know, that's been the thing that they've really been missing over the last few years You know during this run that they've been on with Rick Barnes is that having that player that they could just get a bucket When when you know in crunch time and they have that and don't connect so Um, it's a guy's iglo is healthy too. So yeah, I think Tennessee's got a chance man I think they're a really good team and um, I would say they don't they don't really I don't really consider them a sleeper per se because you know, they're a top two seed But you know, I think they're a team.

I think Arizona they're a little inconsistent I think Arizona has a chance to win national championship as well. I mean listen I think there's nine of ten teams realistically that can easily make a run uh to a national championship Marquette if they're healthy. I think Marquette's another team. That's a sleeper Um, there's a lot of teams out there man That's real.

All right. Uh, um, um, possibly Do not gamble on this Yo, I didn't uh, I saw somebody put this in the chat and I actually found the picture of um Anthony black and greaty Oh, yeah Awesome bro. Hey, I found out. I'm at the sentence.

Yeah, but somebody else put like other people who should not do jerseys They say So people did you see it? Oh, man, they did the jersey swap with the black big jersey They needed somebody with the name pause to come stand behind I think somebody in chess at the cameraman got fired for that, but why you know what? Yeah, that's what these are I'm sure it was the NBA's called them First of all, it's their fucking last names. I mean all jokes aside is their fucking last names I mean, what are you really gonna do?

You know, it's your get your head out of the gutter kids Like So the social media guy for the magic I find This is a Rudy gay Terrence man day when so It will really gay go be crazy Alright, so before we jump into Super chats Let's get quick Marshall right It's gonna be an make sure you guys check out the frames per second podcast each week We discuss the latest in movies and television shows We also have in-depth conversations about what's going on in cinema as well as what has happened You can find the frames per second podcast in your favorite podcast out by just typing in frames per second podcast Also, make sure you guys go over to our youtube channel youtube.com slash fps and join our reddit our subreddit Which is also frames per second as well. We would love to see you over there discussing the latest in tv and movies Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back.

So let's get into some memories super chats. Make sure you guys uh, yes, you got frames per second Um All right, Devontay. So does russ start for the whole season? No, no, why not He he's gonna get a no quarterback start like he said early 62 quarterback started last year Ain't not been playing the whole season none of them.

He's just if he's not hurt. Oh, he's not hurt I Sorry to say it's about his effectiveness. If he's if he's good and they're winning he'll start the whole season Barring injury if he's not You don't see what you got for Justin field I think he starts the whole season as long as he's not hurt Uh, green bean spike would spike I would rather have Justin fields in lance and we cobwebs gave up a fourth round Wow Nast nasty work thought he was asking you if you would like to play Do we know it? Trade trade just a few times a pulse Do we even know trade lances alive like do we even know he's out of witness?

Thank you No, he's like trade lance had been played a game since the Obama administration like what do we don't we got wrong? Oh man? He is trade gpt Uh Nico since the league acknowledged the fouling issue average NBA game totals have gone down 15 points in the last weeks Do you think this way in pat teams that rely on foul calls like flippers or others? This has been a big thing amongst like the VA writers and stuff.

They've been talking about this on fly case stuff about week since the officer game That fishing for a foul. They call it. We use a lot of people. I hate this They stopped calling it like in a massive rate and it's affected like games a lot since the officer I mean, oh his loves in the make these beat each other up this shit.

So I guess I guess it's like I ain't really Telly's like it's not being pussy Uh, yeah, I mean I definitely think I mean listen I think of the scoring I think a lot of people realize that the scoring and then the fact that fishing for foul calls has gotten a little bit out of Hands I think I think it's the game has become so as players have become so much more skilled I think that the game is becoming a lot of ways harder to officiate They're getting a lot of still getting a lot more sophisticated with these things as far as fishing for foul calls The flopping is not as obvious as years prior. So I think the I think now you're seeing the league trying to adjust to that and uh Yeah, if the numbers are accurate down 15 points in the last few weeks, um Yeah, I think it's definitely gonna impact some teams at the end of day So about scoring more points than the other team. So I think the clippers and other teams like that will be fine But yeah, I think it definitely plays a role. You know real quick point out order before we get to Wu yang Um I wanted to say for the investing in sports because we were talking about AI curry all those guys kairi's left hand again winner bro Like it is like we have to kairi is the most skilled player i've ever seen ever and we have to give him this credit He's over in china some shoes now, but it's like you've got to give him this quick right a minute rama down kairi That was a how i'll game winner.

I'm trying to tell you like it was an amazing time and he had a great game tonight. Yeah, fact All right, uh, well, then that's what you're you uh here goes Name a good osu QB before shroud LSU borough car del jones nigga next question Got no Jones car del jones in the half out. No, i'm going to talk about the NFL. No definitely not there He didn't get a shot.

He didn't get a shot. But what does that mean? He left too late down there. He he robbed himself I never understood why he stayed there actually years.

Yeah, yeah, he did Yeah, yeah, I agree with that. I don't even count burrow it burrows more LSU than Ohio state Yeah Uh, shut up auto for the donation. We appreciate it Uh And I got one more who was the better while receiver group stillers or bears and then I got one more quick topic best part related and we get out of here Obviously today right now is the bears right now. Yeah, yeah more accomplished.

Yeah These a more and uh Keenan are cheating on why we see what i receive. Yeah, and they both do great things when they get the ball in their hands I trust them both equally and I know co-committees not a wide receiver, but obviously he's part of the receiving for Co-comment is legit not saying that wire moofers not but I would give co-comment a slight bump over Fire move right now and in Pittsburgh you have pickings who is Uh the most talented Out of all of them, but he's a loose cannon. So they're saying that we don't know what we got there. Yeah You guys established straight at johnson Like you guys establish it like what's his identity as a player?

Yeah, he's still trying to figure that out where we know what bj more is He's a jack of all trades you can do a little bit of everything. Keenan allen. We know what you are You're a big body wide receiver throw the ball up. He's gonna come down with it.

Um co-comment another big body receiving targets So they're just the bears right now, but and then they can still go get another one of these I often say now if he's very mess around and get George Jefferson, no Which is not too and we're moving on up for real, but um, you got our which one call it? Justin Jeff's They somehow bring our youth is uh on the market potentially So it's the all you can pick in or you know, even if they bring in a guy like Tyler boy It definitely improves their wide receiver room and I think it makes a Real quick on the bears. I know we talked about just the fields But like how does the coach still have a job? I'm just a question in the century right there Well, here's a thing to use and I said this I think it's gonna happen a lot like Trevor Lawrence They have this incumbent coach right.

I don't think he I don't think he can coach I think next year in the all season. They'll be looking for somebody and you know, I'm gonna advocate now brian day boy coming to Chicago Please sir, he ain't gonna do shit with the translates. Yeah, that's the best point already I didn't make about the bears been a terrible franchise is there's no way if I were to differentiate In hell that I would let that coach touch this new portable after I seen what happened was just a few There's no way like man. It's that you have a job from you out.

You get a new coach. You get a new GM Oh, that's wild to me That's what's wild to me about I mean they have a new gen but it's like it's wild to me that even foods kept his job Like if you if you're scrapping fields that you got scrapping foods, I don't know how you separate the two I'm okay, so so real quick question tying incidents. Do you think eberfus is there for the whole season? I don't I think he gets fired me away, but now he goes into what y'all saying like the bear is just not being a bear friend I mean, but if now you have office a coordinator, right?

Right, you got this generational talent that you take is gonna go through all these changes and bullshit that you don't want to go through Like the people to your point if there's gonna be stability because of weeks To your point if he gets fired what six games in then it was already a mistake Because if you're not even gonna let him get finished this season, you should just fight him in the outside So it's like a double mistake. Yeah, that's being jones is job being jones will take the job next year Uh, ziya Many at matinees 11 as we talked about the re-emergence of Zion and uh, and I'm glad I saw this in the chat because we have not But I think it is worth mentioning Any thoughts on what's going on with Zion cute loss of you guys bro? Yeah, it has money grow already passed Talk to me after that. I ain't nothing in the nigga run over in yays.

He's lost 25 pounds I got to see that's how you see it. I put it in the chat He lost the 25 pounds and he's playing he's on a mission right now. Something happens when he's dude get with uh internet ladies and when you talk about him a little bit we see what's happening with general internet ladies you mean get the snigga Snigga Jalen crease Jalen crease right now All of the hot messes some happens when they get the easy And they all hoover right now. That means your boy needs to have a great season Listen, Zion to me has been the most overly scrutinized player in recent memory I agree It's it's almost been to the levels of cartoon cartoonish behavior like If you look at his numbers when he's healthy He is a top 10 15 player in the sport when he's healthy So many people but it's not always about women hold on first.

Okay, first off first off first off his health is an issue because I'm not honest that you can't control because he needs to but you can control weight And we know that that has contributed to his injury history. So he's not controlling the controllable So do we know that you know that for sure? No, you know You know how that you know how we know that many because we saw what he looked like in high school We saw what he looked like in college and when he got to the NBA the man blew up He looked like sham who out here and then he's been like Luther Van Dross Get in fat lose away get in fat lose away bro You're a professional athlete part of your job is to be in shape and in shape. I understand is unique for everybody His body he's a big body motherfucker.

I understand that but bro you can look at him now in the lobs and shit He wasn't catching at the beginning of season why because you had 25 Certified extra pounds on you that is controllable for Zion How do we know how do we know that the injuries haven't impacted the weight everybody assumes that the weight impacts the injuries but it's No, no, no, I don't disagree. That's right and that is a fair assessment. However, like I said We saw what he looked like in high school. He looked like in college when he got to the NBA He was fat then he had injury history, but he had injuries in college before that too Yeah How many games in this you're a s on you say injuries.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry He missed a lot of what I mean, he missed like the rest he missed the rest of the season and that was more precaution than 100% and that was flooky. That's not you know, hey, you know, he's always a CL high ankle spray like that bro He literally blew out a shoe. We've never seen that ever you know so much so that Nike lost hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks after that Obviously they recovered they're good, but it is what it is At the end of the day Zion in my opinion is and I've got clown on this telecast talking about how great he is He is a top-templair when healthy but at the end of the day though scrutiny that he does deserve is maintaining the weight You just fell for the media problem I tell me can't that he blew up. I mean Zion Zion is in the crib with the internet girls like like you were saying Like he getting fat.

He didn't been yays And he getting some some good, you know, he and this is what it is like and you see what happens when But the conversation around Zion, bro, you would have thought that Zion was out here putting up like six points a game and two weeks Like the door is Not no it's not a number. It's availability is availability That's a part of it availability is your best ability to a lot to a large extent I get that but to me I just think the conversation around Zion has just been goofy like I'm not saying you specifically I'm just saying the national conversation. That's just weird But see many the only reason all the reason I can I mean I agree with what you're saying up until the point where you say it's weird I get why they're saying what they've been saying because he's not been available So they were calling him a bus because they said he never reached the potential we thought he would be at because we hadn't seen It's like But it's how many games but many it is not even it is about the game but it's not even necessarily even about that because Some people can eat like shit and their metabolism and they and they body doesn't negatively impact their ability to show up But you feel what I'm saying? And it's like what we're saying is that You look at the numbers and that makes people who know as I can be even matter because like bro You can add like 10 more points per game or more rebounds if you just like don't go to the drive through during the morning Nobody nobody questioned his talent at all That was ever the question it was whether he had the work after in the mentality to get it done and stay healthy and stay in shape That was always the question it was never about his talent Man, I get that but I feel like the production has always been there That's why like I never really bought into the whole discussion of a whole he's bad.

He's overweight He's a bus. He's there's because that tells me that tells me because the production has always been there So that tells me it's more of an availability issue. It's more of a health issue Right now if we want to sit here and say and I'm not saying it's not people But what I'm saying is what is what predicates the health issues right everybody's making it away? I don't know.

I'm not a fucking doctor. I'm not a nutritionist. I don't fucking know what came first the chicken or the egg It's one of these are you know what I know? He looks fat in high school.

I know he looks fat in college in the moment that he looked fat He started getting hurt Me to the tune to the tune of the fact that the most games he's ever played was 61 the lowest amount was 24 So we're talking about in the course of four years. He's played 170 games and two NBA seasons There's a hundred and sixty four games played so this man has played literally two years worth of NBA basketball in four years That deserves scrutiny when you are a number one pick when you have been titled the next chosen by you know after LeBron When we have never seen before before when beyama this year and After LeBron we ain't never seen nothing that look like Zion Zion was supposed to be the face supposed to change basketball and many I do not disagree with you because I've always made the argument when the man plays the man puts fucking damn your wheel chamber the numbers up So from a skill perspective, I'm 100% on a Zion bandwagon from an availability perspective You have to do better and I think that look I'm not I'm not no I'm not a nutritionist either But at the end of the day at the end of the day my eyes tell me that you're fluctuating your weight my boy And you are a professional athlete and all of the greatest NBA players that I don't see they they they grow because obviously get into the league young you put on your man weight Then you know whatever it is it is but Zion is fluctuating way too much whether that's the injuries causing the weight or the weight causing the injuries I don't fucking know but you got to get that under control And I think that that's fair to assess that 61 games he right now based off of the collective bargaining agreement He will never qualify for any of the awards. That's a problem real quick. You.

I don't know you about that I just want to respond real quick. I am not arguing with you I think you if you scrutinize him for his his lack of availability, that's one thing I can't even knock that my issue is what is rooted in the scrutiny and the scrutiny has become less about okay He's injury prone and more about oh well. He's fucking eating papa eyes on it or he's fucking this bitch or he's doing this So he's like it's just it's just weird shit. It's like yo.

What are we doing here? Are we having a discussion about yo? This this player that was supposed to be one of the faces of the NBA has not played more than two seasons of basketball and a four season stretch Let's have a discussion about that not about whether he's fat or is he too fat or what is his weight doing? This is weight fluctuating from college to the NBA This had another that's my point.

It's just a discourse around Zion has been weird. That's all it is it is cartoonish But I do think that they do they they are kind of like killing like beating the dead horse But there was something there when we saw after some of the league nigga why he had a bbl Bro like it's like like this shit look crazy What just happened and I think it's probably because he had the injury in college leading up to pre draft processing knew he was Hands down the number one he got the assurance from New Orleans and then he probably saw eating a little bit But you know when you have those nagging injuries Zion when he's not taking care of himself heading into the league the way we think He wasn't and I think that uh the contract with the pelican kind of gives us some insight into that because Uh, he signed an NFL type of contract with his guarantees that if he didn't meet the weight And if he didn't meet his requirements that they would shave some of those guarantees off the top where certain things will become non-guaranteed No, and when he didn't meet those qualifications last year, I think he kind of like like him and his girl got the same body Like look at this. It's crazy. Like you can't you can't show up to training camp looking like that, bro But you see what he's lying on his feet.

He's jumping out the gym now and it looks more like Zion when he was a dude Yeah, no, I also think the situation I also think the situation you go to is so important And I think the world has hasn't been the best situation for him So I think that's also impacted that situation where I think they've enabled a lot of that behavior And I think Chuck has said it best right when you know guys just come into the NBA You just have those veterans around that would teach you how to be a pro. I think that these guys I think that's been a lost arnie NBA where you have these veterans that teach these junkies I mean you gotta think about these kids are coming in at 18 19 years old. You're giving them a bag of money and you're telling them okay be a professional Like it's not that easy, man. It's not that easy.

Listen, I think the Zion thing has been weird But I don't think it's ever been a question of his talent and I think a lot of people's eyes are opening now like oh shit This dude can actually play yes motherfucker. He can play. He's been a he's been a huber It's just staying on the court. So hopefully he can stay on the court because it's good for the league that he's finally playing at this level That's what they're saying.

That's what they're saying. He's on the court. I don't think it's any play out there. They're doing that Yeah, they just saying wow he's on the court All right.

Well, um, yeah, I just wanted to acknowledge that Yeah, you put that in there and it's been like he's been playing the pelican's been winning And you know, I guess now that he's playing and lost weight and not fat. They don't want to talk about it You know, so it's not sensational. No, so I just want to at least um, you know a knowledge you don't hear Um another great game from the night too Yeah, yeah, yeah And I guess maybe those rules changes about the the money may have motivated him And I'll say this I'll say this if he's healthy like this and he's playing up to this level That team is a scary team and he's an X factor because there you could argue there's a lot of teams in the west of coffees that don't have an answer Yeah, he's playing like this 28 and 79. I'm sorry.

Yeah, and he's he's the number one option now on that team he's taking that bro from bi Mm. All right. Well, we appreciate you guys joining us tonight. Uh, it was great show Um fun as always, but we're gonna call it a night.
