(00:52):
be well. Right now, we have a mini NBA Playoff
night going on, like, hey, we got a few more
days with the regular season. It ends on Sunday. Yep,
we have a mini NBA Playoff night going on right
now because the Knicks and the Celtics have just started overtime. Meanwhile,
the Lakers and the Thunder one oh seven to one
oh five, Thunder with the lead eight and a half
(01:13):
to go in the fourth quarter. So I feel like, oh,
maybe we're watching the East and Western Conference finals. Just
a little bitter. Oh, I mean that Lakers Thunder game
was eighty to seventy two at halftime. Yeah, not a
lot of defense. With the exception of like a minute
stretch where there were three straight Alex Caruso steals, there
(01:34):
wasn't a whole lot of defense. And then you watch
og onnobi uh lose Jason Tatum for the high arching
three that sends in a o t But good news.
You're six and one on the year in overtime. Yeah, yeah,
except what's our record we play the Celtics thunder. Yeah,
it's not good. I tried to give you a positive
loob right there. Come on, man, we'll deal with the
(01:57):
Knicks and the Celtics first. Obviously, the Knicks need this win,
and they would love a win like this going into
the playoffs. When he can beat one of the top
teams and not go over the whole season against j
You're not beating the Celtics. The Knicks had a three
point lead and the Celtics had the ball with about
ten seconds left to go, and the only thing what
was I yelling at the screen no threes, no threes,
(02:17):
no threes, no threes, and Jason Tatum kind of hesitates
behind the arc and andw Nobi is on him. Okay, great,
and then what happens. Tatum makes this little bit of
a fake like he's gonna go to the basket. Dude,
let him go to the basket. There's four seconds left,
but Anunoby falls for the fake, Tatum hits a three.
(02:38):
The Knicks have a desperation three at the buzzer that
doesn't get anywhere. And so now we're in overtime. I mean,
I mean watching, I'm yelling no threes, no threes, no threes.
And what happens. Antnobe just allows Tatum to give him
that little bit of a head fake and wide open
three step back, and so we're in overtime. I'm like,
(02:59):
this gotta be kidding me. You know, the next time
you beat a good team will be the first. It'll
be the first. Yeah, it'll be the first. That's why
tonight is such a big deal. But I mean, I
can't even give the nationwide audience what you were saying
and the Josh Hart layup because oh well, I was
gesture storage the screen plus your verbosity. No chance, I
(03:22):
wasn't saw fire. I wasn't complying that. Or what was
I saying for the Celtics last possession? What was I saying,
Tatum's got the ball? Bring it up? What did I?
Over and over? I kept saying the same thing. Hi
to the to editing and video crew, no question about it.
But yeah, lots of ugliness and infanity spewing from the
(03:45):
mouth of Jason. I'm telling you, high energy on this one.
Still a regular season game, I know, but but I
would look brunts in his back and he's having a
big game. Look finding Josh Hart for that hoop that
gave the Knicks the lead in the final thirty seconds.
He's back right, he had his time away. It's awesome
a win like this. Suddenly, Hey, maybe we're not going
to be second round enough because second round is going
(04:06):
to be the Celtics. Like that's the thing. Second round
is to say, you realize, oh you go no, No,
second round is the Celtics. So I mean, unless you know, hey,
the Magic pull a big upset, it's the Cavaliers, which
I don't think is that hey you know, but uh,
you know, look it's second round is Hey, we're second
rounding out again the NBA, and everybody's just saying, like, hey,
the Cavaliers don't have the experience I mean anything, And
(04:28):
judging by what happened today, maybe if the Knicks lose
this game, the only way we can raise the stakes
from hey, look at these coaches getting fired at the
end of the season. I mean, what if the Knicks
lose this game and the Knicks fired him to replace
him with Danny Hurley, Like that's the only thing that
could that could upset the Apple card enough to take
the headline away from the Nuggets firing Michael Malone. Today
(04:49):
the Knicks say, sorry, tis Jason, Mike, it's Mike. Danny Hurley,
come in and coach. That's Mike Malone. I know he
likes to go by Michael and he's fired. SOLDI, but
it's he goes by Michael and he's fired. It's Mike.
It's Mike Malone. It's Mike. I would like that. I'd
like to see that, did Danny culling? Can you imagine
Danny Hurley coming just staring up, screaming at Karl Anthony
(05:12):
Towns for not boxing out defensively punch him in the face. Oh,
that'd be fantastic to pull the act that he does
at Yukon with these guys. How long you think that
plays in that locker room before they lay him out?
Come on, man, that's the only thing you can do.
How do we top? Okay, Taylor Jenkins gets fired. Okay,
(05:34):
all right, well that was weird. Okay, Michael Malone gets
fired and Mike like, hey, that's weird. No, you fire
TIBs and bring in Danny Hurley. That's the only thing.
Only thing I don't know Michael Malone or Mike Mike
is available now. I mean, you can just go right
to it. Why don't you just go by Mike? Why
should I change my name? He's the one who sucks
that now. Meanwhile, the other game, obviously in the Western
(05:54):
Western Conference Finals, Lakers trail the Thunder one oh seven,
one o six. Still a lot of time in this game.
There's seven to fifty six left to go in the
fourth quarter. It's been a big game for the Lakers
Big three.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We have twenty one five and three from Luca, twenty
six for Lebron, nineteen and five for Austin Reeves for
the thunder, no surprise, Jay Gildess, Alexander thirty two points
leading the way, Chet Holmgren having a big game. He's
got fourteen and four. But if this doesn't show you
what we talked about for them, remember what we say
ahead of the curve, right, what do we say two
(06:28):
weeks ago? Right? The Lakers are just bored. The Lakers
got Luka Doncic, they played incredible basketball for a month,
and then they sat around and said, yeah, we're good.
When's the playoffs? And they lost some games to teams
they should never lose to it. We said, they're bored,
They're board, They're bored. And then they had a big loss.
And what did Luca come on postgame and say, I
think we need a little bit more intensity, a little
(06:50):
bit more energy. They're bored, they're waiting for the playoffs.
And what do we see the other night they have
the big win over Oklahoma City. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Lakers clicking on all cylinders. This is a team we're
gonna see tonight. Here they are. They decide we are
going to make all our guys probable. Everybody was questionable
for the night's game because you know, you got the Mavericks,
the big Luca Mavericks game coming up tomorrow. He was, Ah,
(07:12):
maybe we're not going to see some of these guys.
The Lakers prove their point. They're going on the road. No,
everybody but Ruy Hotchimoor is playing for the Lakers tonight.
They're going forward tonight with a win to try to
win this game, to really send a message for the
Thunder and the playoffs. Yeah, the Lakers are win or
lose this game. The Lakers are just fine. Conversely, they
may have gotten a notice from the league office their
(07:33):
asses better be playing tonight. Yeah, it's final week of
the season. We're not doing load, but you guys just
saw them. Tomorrow's a pretty big tomorrow. But look, you
get him back. The Lakers were bored. Just see how
they're playing in these games the last couple of nights,
and you know, okay, when the playoffs come, they're a
(07:55):
title contender. The Lakers were bored and now they're not.
It's the way, and this is not just a Lakers thing.
This is an NBA thing because it's Hey, once you
get to game fifty five or sixty, what do I
tell you? Most of the regular season is useless because
once you get to game sixty, the teams that stink stink.
We're tanking. No one's wrote, No one's gonna go for
it to get in the playing round. They're gonna kind of, well,
(08:17):
we're gonna play this string out a little bit and
see how things go. No one's gonna say, hey, all
we can do to get into that seven ten, No,
they're not doing it. So the last twenty some odd
games of the season, yeah, they're kind of useless. And
you get teams going through the motions. Now, you get
your big games once in a while like this, Hey,
look the Lakers are up for it, the thunder are
up for it, and it's an awesome night right tonight.
(08:38):
It feels like if like these are playoff games. The
refs did what they just did. Jason, Well, we'll get
to that in a second. We'll get to that in
a second. This is this is the nights that okay,
in the back half of the regular season, the last
twenty games, this is what we live for. So some
of these other games, yeah, I understand where Yeah, we're
just going through the motions and there's forty point blowouts,
(09:00):
five point blots. Why is this team's put it away.
This team is eighth. They don't care. The playing round
is a playing round. That's kind of how the NBA
goes right. Everybody gets bored. The Lakers are the poster
boys of being bored. Yeah, but I'll take anything a
guy says when when you're playing poorly defensively and you
go through a bad stretch and then as the voice
of the squad, you say, eh, you know we're not
(09:22):
playing you know, with the intensity, and guy, well, we'll
lock back in. Whatever. What's he gonna say, we're playing badly.
They're not gonna tell you the truth. Guys aren't. Rotam
Redick was pissed. He was red faced because he wasn't
getting full effort from guys. Ah, we need to get
back at it. And it wasn't a hey, these guys
are bored. It's like we're playing some bad, bad defense
(09:42):
and getting into some bad habits. So I'm a bit
split from the full boredom. But it goes back to
the same thing with the eighty two games. It bemoans
the old question of the Final twenty. How do you
convince people to mat that they should matter because the
play in turn and certainly didn't do it right, because
we watched Dallas do it a couple of years ago,
(10:03):
just saying the hell with it. We'll get outside of
that and see what take our chances in the lottery. Now,
while this is happening, okay, well this is while we're
talking about this, of course Christops porzingis hits his eighth
three of the game, right, No, I love playing back
in Maty four maye. So the Celtics lead the Knicks
by three, or the Celtics have tied the Knicks will
(10:24):
lead the Knicks by three one fifteen, one twelve with
thirty seconds left to go. Meanwhile, you talk about what
what did uh? What do we always get from Jesse
the body venture? I would say, what a gross miscarriage
of justice? Ye? Yeah, absolutely. Luka Doncic has just been
ejected from the Lakers game against Oklahoma City. He got
his second technical foul. And I agree with you, Frostburg.
(10:45):
He was yelling at a fan. He was yelling at
a fan who now, maybe you know, forget about SGA
winning MVP. This fan might need to win MVP because
he clearly has a big impact on the floor. Uh,
Luca's yelling at a fan. The referee thought he was
yelling at him, and right away he tees him up
and throws him out of the game. Luca gets tossed.
(11:07):
He's yelling, I'm yelling at the fan. I'm yelling at
the fan. And because you had a referee who decides, hey,
people come to the game to watch me officiate. Luka
Doncic gets thrown out of the game. And so now
it's six and a half left to go in the
fourth quarter. The Thunder they get a couple of technical
free throws as well. It's a one point lead for them.
I mean, come on, man, I mean, come on, come.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What did he yell?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Come on? But like that becomes the question, right if
it was something where the referee couldn't distinguish between I'm
yelling at this person and another. I mean, this is
if you were college basketball, we just go to the
review table for five minutes. In this case, how do
you adjudigate that?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If you're just screaming in your general direction, he might
still be pissed from a call three possessions ago. But
I but if you're yelling at a fan, you yelling
at a fan, right, I mean, obviously, if you're Luca.
You want to you want to think that. Okay, dude,
don't yell at a fan. They're gonna yell their stuff
and don't. But yelling at a fan, okay, Okay, you didn't.
You didn'tmbarrass anybody. If the fan is drawing back at you, okay.
(12:10):
But at the same time, I'm like, you know, okay,
don't yell at a fan. Same time, dude, you're yelling
at a fan. Come on on the floor though. It's
where the referee is coming up the floor behind and
Luca's screaming back. Again, if you're the referee and you're
in that space, you don't know that he's yelling at
a fan. But this is where if you're throwing a
(12:34):
guy out of the game, you have to stop. Cooler
heads have to prevail and find out what's going on.
I mean, there needs to be Okay, Okay, you just
threw the Laker superstar out of the game for yelling something.
Let's make sure we got it right. Let's go back.
And I would just say this for the for the referee,
not to uh completely defend, but you've been hearing it
(12:55):
from Luca for how.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Many minutes is he playing tonight doesn't matter. Why does
it not matter? Zip of WIT's on the phone? This
ref's getting the needle. If he I I'd love to
hear what was actually.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Said, doesn't matter. You don't throw him out of a
game like this. If he's yelling at a fan, he's
yelling at a fan, but you don't know that he's
yelling at a face in your ear the entire pay.
But but you throw them You were talking to that guy,
but you throw him out because you think he was
yelling at you. I'm saying, go back, let's make sure
(13:27):
we're I'm okay throwing him out. Hey, let's all get together.
I mean, come on, no, I get But in the end,
if you've been wearing it from from Luca, from every possession,
which his reputation is history, is tonight that if he
said the magic word back to said fan and you
think it's directed towards you, that's that's the way that
(13:49):
gets worked out, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But you need but if you go back and look
at it, if you go back and say, okay, let's
see this, let's look on the replay. Let's is that
one of the things that could be it should be
or at least say, okay, dude, you just threw Luca
out of the nationally because if you're making it, if
you're making a big deal about players not playing a
naturally televised games, you got to make a big deal
about officials throwing star players out at the end of
(14:12):
nationally televised Well, they've had a bad night tonight anyway,
because you've had your officials down low and baseline not
calling things, and the trailing official coming back past half
court has been making a lot of calts from behind.
So that was certainly an issue. They were having a
lot in the first half and as things started up
in the second. I mean, come on, man, I mean,
(14:33):
I'll understand. Everybody's got to understand. Officials are not above
reproach on this, sure, right, I mean understand, if you're
gonna do it, let's see where we're at. Let's make
sure we get it right. Instead. No, I'm doing it
because Luca right away, rass, I'm yelling at a fen
Lebron was in the guys. He's yelling at the fender. No, no, no,
I think he was yelling at me. So I'm gonna
throw him out of the game. Make sure you get
it right, sensitive guy. Express employment professionals can provide contract

We'll have more in the big stories in the NBA.
(18:16):
Michael Malone getting fired as well, But big stuff happening
right now in the NFL as we inch closer and
closer to the draft. Joining us now on the hot
line NFL Insider Extraordinaire Odyssey Washington Post one oh five
seven the Fen in Baltimore. He's on Twitter at Jason
Lock and for it is Jason Locking for it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
What's happening about?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
How are you? Oh, he's doing all right watching Corbyn.
Carrol will be the latest guy to beat the hell
out of a Charlie Mortin pitch.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, but hey.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Hey, it's amok. Hey, you got a good run. But
forty one years old, cook. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Maybe you never know, You never know. It could just
be an early part of the season.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Thing Positivity Tuesday, Jason so Hey, So, looks as we
get closer to the NFL Draft, every day is a
different Shador Sanders story.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
He's meeting with teams, he's falling through the draft. What
are you hearing? What's the reality for Shador Sanders right now.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I don't think anything has changed. It's just you know,
you be buyer. Beware what you read, what you listen
this time of year. My take on this is he
was going to go in the top ten. He is
going to go in the top ten. I wrote a
column about ten days ago at sports Line my sort
(19:42):
of five favorite prop bets, and like, I'm like, put
a couple of bucks on the Jets to take them
or the Saints to take them, and at that time
you could still get plus one thousand and above on
the Saints take quarterback with their first pick. Try to
find that now, try to find those try to find
(20:04):
that kind of value. It doesn't exist now. I don't
know they'll definitely be there at nine, but I do
think and have thought, that that's where any fall or
perceived fall would land, and the markets and reporting is
caught up with that and doesn't mean that that's, you know, bill,
how it will play out. But I think that's been
his reality, that he's in play between two and nine.
(20:27):
I don't think someone's going to move up for him,
but I don't think he's going to fall, you know,
past the ninth pick one way or the other I
have never thought. We've talked about this for weeks. I
don't think he's a fit with the Giants, just because
of the way that owner operates and what he kind
of thinks quarterbacks like how they talk and how they
(20:49):
project themselves in the way they lead and what they
do or don't stay in the media. I just don't
think that's a fit there. We've also talked about Boy,
the Browns are really dumb backflips to make you think
they're taken out dul Carter. But that kind of makes
me think maybe they're not taking out no Carter. So
I think you know, he's that's his range to two
to nine. And you know, look, I still don't think
(21:15):
it would be completely out of the question for the
jetson to take them, Like, I mean, what are they like,
what have they really patched up with Justin Field's like
what like what are realistic expectations for that? Like, I mean,
how long is that supposed to take them out of
the quarterback market for I'm not sure it takes them
out of the quarterback market at all.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, in Cleveland with their their game of Liar's Poker,
I think given the time, any time of day you
might have had one of the three guys in their
uniform with Milroe taking the invitation to the draft. Do
we cash that two and a half ticket on quarterbacks
the over in the first round? Do we get to four?
Can I get a fourth?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I don't know about that because I still, like, I
don't know that I tell you that this is the
floor for Jackson start. Like, I think the floor has
probably picked thirty two, if that's still in place for trade.
But I don't, at least to this point, I haven't
heard of a particular team that is, you know, really
(22:19):
in love with him or that would take him before
this guy, that guy, and the other. Like I think
they are teams that like them and if they can
get something that, you know, a player they think might
perform better and then come back into the back end
of the first round and get him too, then like,
I think that's probably how it goes down. And I
(22:41):
think that's probably how we get to three. Well, you know,
maybe the Steelers just take them, you know, with their pick,
although I think there's gonna be some detackle, some other
players that they looking at, boy, because we have our
cake and eat it too, and they look they're much
more aggressive organization now than they've ever been before, and
they've made a lot of trades that we would say
(23:02):
are not typical dealers trades. So I think it happens.
I don't think there's a fourth. I think there will
be a real run on them starting Friday, that Friday
and continuing into Saturday. And I think there will, you know,
be numerous who go in that range second third round.
(23:27):
I mean, I think we're looking at, you know, a
cluster upwards, you know, five or six kids, maybe even
a few more. But I don't think there's a fourth
in the first thirty two.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
NFL Inside of Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith
Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com Studios. All right, now,
you mentioned the Steelers. Let's look at this Aaron Rodgers
situation from a different angle. Let's say Rogers decides, yeah,
I'm not coming. I want to wait for whatever reason,
I'll wait for Minnesota. I want to wait for something else.
What's the Steelers plan? Is it we we get Kirk
(24:06):
Cousins loose from Atlanta? Is something else? Or because boy,
that's what I keep looking at. Jay is like you
talk about mismanaging the quarterback position if he doesn't come,
Like the Steelers have nothing, I mean, they got absolutely nothing.
What do they do.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I mean they've got make the Rudolph. But I mean
like they've gone to the playoffs, they've been in the playoffs,
hunt the guys like Mason Rudolph before. And I think
Cousins is absolutely a viable operate and Arthur Blank can
play the tough guy role now. And you can have
the GM tell people if you want them, you're paying
them the whole twenty five million, or you're paying them
at least twenty And that's fine and dandy until we
(24:39):
get to a point where it's like, oh wow, I
gotta start cutting this guych check, Like I got to
start paying my backup quarterback twenty something million dollars myself.
And I don't think that that makes sense for a
multitude of reasons, and just for sort of like the
vibes in that building and you know, empowering panic, and
(25:00):
is that really how they want their quarterback room to
play out? Like it doesn't make sense, and Cousins doesn't
want to be there, and like they don't really want
Cousins and they don't love how Cousins has handled the
situations since they draft his replacement, you know, seeing in
the hours after paying him to be their quarterback. But
like they also, you know, I think the rest of
the league doesn't see this for what it is and
that they're going to get over on somebody and have
(25:21):
them take this whole contract off their hands, and it's
just that's a game of fools poker. So I do
think Arthur Blank is doing a whole lot of bluffin now,
but at the end of the day, he doesn't want
to backup quarterback to me making five times a starter
or whatever. So yeah, I think Cleveland or Pittsburgh are
definitely options for.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Cousins because I love all the quarterback moves, and we'd
love Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, Joe Milton coming to
Dallas as people melting down, he's coming for Dak Prescott's job,
Jason locking for.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I think he's coming for Trey Lance's job, and Cooper
Rush who's not there anymore and now in Baltimore's job. Look,
they're smart football people who I wrote about this months ago, like, Okay,
this doesn't look like it's going to be much of
a quarterback class in terms of you know, what was
out there available in free agency, and the people are
(26:15):
kind of lukewarm about the draft. Like Malik Willison and
this kid were two guys who, you know, just talking
to enterprising general managers and executives and not even guys
that needed quarterbacks. But like, dude, if you were in
this PNE, what would you be trying to do? And
they're like, well, I like the Green Bay backup, I
like the New England backup. Like I would try to
(26:36):
get one of those guys and and develop them. I
think there's upside with this kid, and of course he's
not any but there's way they structured that contract. I mean,
there's not even any point in wasting breath and time
talking about other options in the short term because they're
paying him over sixty million dollars a year to be
their quarterback and he's stuck with them, and they're stuck
(26:58):
with him, so that's not you know, the next eighteen months.
But yeah, I mean, Dak Prescott also tends to get hurt,
you know, in the last three or four years, and
this other person might play because we've seen a fair
amount of Cooper Rush the last few years, and like
there are some people who think he's got NFL starting potential.
So I mean, it's not a threat to Dak Prescott
(27:21):
again anytime soon, but their backup tends to play, and
they didn't want to pay reading to Cooper Rush or whatever,
and I think this kid can play a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know. The thing is Jay, And this is what
I look at is that, yes, you do need somebody
that might need to step in, because clearly we've seen
two out of the last three years Dak gets hurt.
But I kind of looked at it as they went
out and got Trey Lance, and it was worth it because, hey,
we're gonna put a little bit of pressure on you, Dak,
because we're gonna put a guy behind you who's young
and hungry and maybe getting a chance, and kind of
(27:52):
what Green Bay did with Jordan Love for Aaron Rodgers
and what happened. Dak went out and had an incredible
twenty twenty three. Now he got hurt last year, Okay,
Cooper Rush gone, we do the same thing. Now we're
gonna go out and get Joe Milton. So make sure Dak,
you know we're gonna keep the pressure on you a
little bit knowing there's a younger guy behind you, because
it worked well as a strategy in twenty twenty three.
I would trade a fourth round pick if I knew
(28:12):
that was gonna make my quarterback throw for four thousand
yards and thirty five touchdowns, I'd do that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I just don't think that's the calls over relationship. And
I don't think he feels threatened by a guy who
was playing behind Jacobe Brissette and lost it, you know
what I mean? And like got, I don't think. I
don't think it's that. I mean, I just think they've
built the flow of football team in the quarterback. There
(28:37):
are going to be weeks where he overcomes that and
he you know, looks like an MVP, because there have
certainly been stretches where he's performed like an MVP. And
there's going to be times where the lack of a
running game and the lack of an offensive line and
the defense not creating a bunch of first half turnovers
and putting them in positions and ex seeds are just
going to make them look like who they are. And
(28:59):
it doesn't really matter if you've got Dak Prescott at
sixty million dollars or Joe Milton at one million dollars,
a Cooper Rush at three. You're going to lose more
games than you win, especially when you're playing decent opponents.
And so I don't really like, I don't think Dak
Prescott's spending any time looking over his shoulder because they
traded a fifth round pick or whatever for this guy. Like,
(29:19):
I just don't think that's the case. And I think
Dak knows he's also I'll never admit it, but I mean,
he's been a business decision. He knows these guys are
full of crap. He does not win anything there. But
he's the quarterback that Dallas Cowboy's making sixty million dollars
a year. He got a whole bunch of national endorsements,
the national TV, a whole bunch. He's going to have
(29:40):
big numbers in a lot of those games, even if
it's garbage time because they're getting blown out. You know,
he's he's going to be a Dallas icon forever and
nobody wins. So like even the fact that which his
signature playoff moment, well, what quarterback since Troy Aikman has
had a signature playoff moment in Dallas. I just think
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I know Jordan Love had a signature playoff my I
had a perfect quarterback ring.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Well yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah uh.

by firing their head. Coach Michael malone was let. Go
(38:23):
their gm is also told A Mike, jason thanks for.
Coming we don't need you. Anymore but Here's, malone two
seasons removed from THE nba title and he gets, fired

This oh you Watch Taylor jenkins get fired by The.
Grizzlies what are you doing? Here three days, before three
games before the end of the regular. Season The, nuggets
(38:45):
who have AN Nba finals caliber, team fire their head
coach and what are they? Doing what are you? DOING
i look at things a little bit. Differently. Uh, yes
had they lost four in a? Row? Yeah were they
just meandering around since The All star? Break? Yeah and
if the reports of what we heard are true And
malone lost the locker, room because clearly there's been evidence
(39:08):
that you've seen evidence of that on social media, today
things he has said about his team in the last,
month then you know, What, yeah fire the. Guy. Now
we've seen teams fire, managers fire coaches before the playoffs
go on big runs LIKE i don't want to go
all the way back to eighty, nine but look when
The Michigan wolverines fired their head coach and you know
the Whole bill Fried Er Steve Steve fisher, thing And
(39:31):
fisher leads them all the way to The National Championship.
Game we've seen it. Happen at this, point The nuggets
are going to go with their, system, Right Rick adelman's
kid is going to take, over which tells you how
OLD i Am David adaman taking. Over they're going to
run the same. Thing this is just a case of
a different energy and they saw that we're not going
anywhere with. This so let's not give away a playoff
(39:52):
With Nikola jokic still in his, prime and we get everybody's.
Attention we clear the, decks everybody's playing. Freer it's a
different energy around the. TEAM i am with. THIS i
understand why this has to, happen and it doesn't matter
is right before the end of the. Regulation the more
that you see the little sideline views like oh yeah,
THIS i recorded this couple of weeks. AGO i didn't
(40:13):
think it was much of. Anything and It's Nikola jokic
having it out With malone on the sideline or the. Assistants,
defensively they're a joke at, times like they we watch
and marvel at the lack of effort time and. Again
and then there there's a lot of back and forth right,
wondering you, know When Calvin booth gets fired as, well
(40:35):
decisions not, made and battles up top as to how
to keep that roster constructed and winning Around. Jokic it,
happens it's, okay and maybe it'll be good for. Them

(00:52):
be well. Right now, we have a mini NBA Playoff
night going on, like, hey, we got a few more
days with the regular season. It ends on Sunday. Yep,
we have a mini NBA Playoff night going on right
now because the Knicks and the Celtics have just started overtime. Meanwhile,
the Lakers and the Thunder one oh seven to one
oh five, Thunder with the lead eight and a half
(01:13):
to go in the fourth quarter. So I feel like, oh,
maybe we're watching the East and Western Conference finals. Just
a little bitter. Oh, I mean that Lakers Thunder game
was eighty to seventy two at halftime. Yeah, not a
lot of defense. With the exception of like a minute
stretch where there were three straight Alex Caruso steals, there
(01:34):
wasn't a whole lot of defense. And then you watch
og onnobi uh lose Jason Tatum for the high arching
three that sends in a o t But good news.
You're six and one on the year in overtime. Yeah, yeah,
except what's our record we play the Celtics thunder. Yeah,
it's not good. I tried to give you a positive
loob right there. Come on, man, we'll deal with the
(01:57):
Knicks and the Celtics first. Obviously, the Knicks need this win,
and they would love a win like this going into
the playoffs. When he can beat one of the top
teams and not go over the whole season against j
You're not beating the Celtics. The Knicks had a three
point lead and the Celtics had the ball with about
ten seconds left to go, and the only thing what
was I yelling at the screen no threes, no threes,
(02:17):
no threes, no threes, and Jason Tatum kind of hesitates
behind the arc and andw Nobi is on him. Okay, great,
and then what happens. Tatum makes this little bit of
a fake like he's gonna go to the basket. Dude,
let him go to the basket. There's four seconds left,
but Anunoby falls for the fake, Tatum hits a three.
(02:38):
The Knicks have a desperation three at the buzzer that
doesn't get anywhere. And so now we're in overtime. I mean,
I mean watching, I'm yelling no threes, no threes, no threes.
And what happens. Antnobe just allows Tatum to give him
that little bit of a head fake and wide open
three step back, and so we're in overtime. I'm like,
(02:59):
this gotta be kidding me. You know, the next time
you beat a good team will be the first. It'll
be the first. Yeah, it'll be the first. That's why
tonight is such a big deal. But I mean, I
can't even give the nationwide audience what you were saying
and the Josh Hart layup because oh well, I was
gesture storage the screen plus your verbosity. No chance, I
(03:22):
wasn't saw fire. I wasn't complying that. Or what was
I saying for the Celtics last possession? What was I saying,
Tatum's got the ball? Bring it up? What did I?
Over and over? I kept saying the same thing. Hi
to the to editing and video crew, no question about it.
But yeah, lots of ugliness and infanity spewing from the
(03:45):
mouth of Jason. I'm telling you, high energy on this one.
Still a regular season game, I know, but but I
would look brunts in his back and he's having a
big game. Look finding Josh Hart for that hoop that
gave the Knicks the lead in the final thirty seconds.
He's back right, he had his time away. It's awesome
a win like this. Suddenly, Hey, maybe we're not going
to be second round enough because second round is going
(04:06):
to be the Celtics. Like that's the thing. Second round
is to say, you realize, oh you go no, No,
second round is the Celtics. So I mean, unless you know, hey,
the Magic pull a big upset, it's the Cavaliers, which
I don't think is that hey you know, but uh,
you know, look it's second round is Hey, we're second
rounding out again the NBA, and everybody's just saying, like, hey,
the Cavaliers don't have the experience I mean anything, And
(04:28):
judging by what happened today, maybe if the Knicks lose
this game, the only way we can raise the stakes
from hey, look at these coaches getting fired at the
end of the season. I mean, what if the Knicks
lose this game and the Knicks fired him to replace
him with Danny Hurley, Like that's the only thing that
could that could upset the Apple card enough to take
the headline away from the Nuggets firing Michael Malone. Today
(04:49):
the Knicks say, sorry, tis Jason, Mike, it's Mike. Danny Hurley,
come in and coach. That's Mike Malone. I know he
likes to go by Michael and he's fired. SOLDI, but
it's he goes by Michael and he's fired. It's Mike.
It's Mike Malone. It's Mike. I would like that. I'd
like to see that, did Danny culling? Can you imagine
Danny Hurley coming just staring up, screaming at Karl Anthony
(05:12):
Towns for not boxing out defensively punch him in the face. Oh,
that'd be fantastic to pull the act that he does
at Yukon with these guys. How long you think that
plays in that locker room before they lay him out?
Come on, man, that's the only thing you can do.
How do we top? Okay, Taylor Jenkins gets fired. Okay,
(05:34):
all right, well that was weird. Okay, Michael Malone gets
fired and Mike like, hey, that's weird. No, you fire
TIBs and bring in Danny Hurley. That's the only thing.
Only thing I don't know Michael Malone or Mike Mike
is available now. I mean, you can just go right
to it. Why don't you just go by Mike? Why
should I change my name? He's the one who sucks
that now. Meanwhile, the other game, obviously in the Western
(05:54):
Western Conference Finals, Lakers trail the Thunder one oh seven,
one o six. Still a lot of time in this game.
There's seven to fifty six left to go in the
fourth quarter. It's been a big game for the Lakers
Big three.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Right.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
We have twenty one five and three from Luca, twenty
six for Lebron, nineteen and five for Austin Reeves for
the thunder, no surprise, Jay Gildess, Alexander thirty two points
leading the way, Chet Holmgren having a big game. He's
got fourteen and four. But if this doesn't show you
what we talked about for them, remember what we say
ahead of the curve, right, what do we say two
(06:28):
weeks ago? Right? The Lakers are just bored. The Lakers
got Luka Doncic, they played incredible basketball for a month,
and then they sat around and said, yeah, we're good.
When's the playoffs? And they lost some games to teams
they should never lose to it. We said, they're bored,
They're board, They're bored. And then they had a big loss.
And what did Luca come on postgame and say, I
think we need a little bit more intensity, a little
(06:50):
bit more energy. They're bored, they're waiting for the playoffs.
And what do we see the other night they have
the big win over Oklahoma City. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Lakers clicking on all cylinders. This is a team we're
gonna see tonight. Here they are. They decide we are
going to make all our guys probable. Everybody was questionable
for the night's game because you know, you got the Mavericks,
the big Luca Mavericks game coming up tomorrow. He was, Ah,
(07:12):
maybe we're not going to see some of these guys.
The Lakers prove their point. They're going on the road. No,
everybody but Ruy Hotchimoor is playing for the Lakers tonight.
They're going forward tonight with a win to try to
win this game, to really send a message for the
Thunder and the playoffs. Yeah, the Lakers are win or
lose this game. The Lakers are just fine. Conversely, they
may have gotten a notice from the league office their
(07:33):
asses better be playing tonight. Yeah, it's final week of
the season. We're not doing load, but you guys just
saw them. Tomorrow's a pretty big tomorrow. But look, you
get him back. The Lakers were bored. Just see how
they're playing in these games the last couple of nights,
and you know, okay, when the playoffs come, they're a
(07:55):
title contender. The Lakers were bored and now they're not.
It's the way, and this is not just a Lakers thing.
This is an NBA thing because it's Hey, once you
get to game fifty five or sixty, what do I
tell you? Most of the regular season is useless because
once you get to game sixty, the teams that stink stink.
We're tanking. No one's wrote, No one's gonna go for
it to get in the playing round. They're gonna kind of, well,
(08:17):
we're gonna play this string out a little bit and
see how things go. No one's gonna say, hey, all
we can do to get into that seven ten, No,
they're not doing it. So the last twenty some odd
games of the season, yeah, they're kind of useless. And
you get teams going through the motions. Now, you get
your big games once in a while like this, Hey,
look the Lakers are up for it, the thunder are
up for it, and it's an awesome night right tonight.
(08:38):
It feels like if like these are playoff games. The
refs did what they just did. Jason, Well, we'll get
to that in a second. We'll get to that in
a second. This is this is the nights that okay,
in the back half of the regular season, the last
twenty games, this is what we live for. So some
of these other games, yeah, I understand where Yeah, we're
just going through the motions and there's forty point blowouts,
(09:00):
five point blots. Why is this team's put it away.
This team is eighth. They don't care. The playing round
is a playing round. That's kind of how the NBA
goes right. Everybody gets bored. The Lakers are the poster
boys of being bored. Yeah, but I'll take anything a
guy says when when you're playing poorly defensively and you
go through a bad stretch and then as the voice
of the squad, you say, eh, you know we're not
(09:22):
playing you know, with the intensity, and guy, well, we'll
lock back in. Whatever. What's he gonna say, we're playing badly.
They're not gonna tell you the truth. Guys aren't. Rotam
Redick was pissed. He was red faced because he wasn't
getting full effort from guys. Ah, we need to get
back at it. And it wasn't a hey, these guys
are bored. It's like we're playing some bad, bad defense
(09:42):
and getting into some bad habits. So I'm a bit
split from the full boredom. But it goes back to
the same thing with the eighty two games. It bemoans
the old question of the Final twenty. How do you
convince people to mat that they should matter because the
play in turn and certainly didn't do it right, because
we watched Dallas do it a couple of years ago,
(10:03):
just saying the hell with it. We'll get outside of
that and see what take our chances in the lottery. Now,
while this is happening, okay, well this is while we're
talking about this, of course Christops porzingis hits his eighth
three of the game, right, No, I love playing back
in Maty four maye. So the Celtics lead the Knicks
by three, or the Celtics have tied the Knicks will
(10:24):
lead the Knicks by three one fifteen, one twelve with
thirty seconds left to go. Meanwhile, you talk about what
what did uh? What do we always get from Jesse
the body venture? I would say, what a gross miscarriage
of justice? Ye? Yeah, absolutely. Luka Doncic has just been
ejected from the Lakers game against Oklahoma City. He got
his second technical foul. And I agree with you, Frostburg.
(10:45):
He was yelling at a fan. He was yelling at
a fan who now, maybe you know, forget about SGA
winning MVP. This fan might need to win MVP because
he clearly has a big impact on the floor. Uh,
Luca's yelling at a fan. The referee thought he was
yelling at him, and right away he tees him up
and throws him out of the game. Luca gets tossed.
(11:07):
He's yelling, I'm yelling at the fan. I'm yelling at
the fan. And because you had a referee who decides, hey,
people come to the game to watch me officiate. Luka
Doncic gets thrown out of the game. And so now
it's six and a half left to go in the
fourth quarter. The Thunder they get a couple of technical
free throws as well. It's a one point lead for them.
I mean, come on, man, I mean, come on, come.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What did he yell?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Come on? But like that becomes the question, right if
it was something where the referee couldn't distinguish between I'm
yelling at this person and another. I mean, this is
if you were college basketball, we just go to the
review table for five minutes. In this case, how do
you adjudigate that?
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Right?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
If you're just screaming in your general direction, he might
still be pissed from a call three possessions ago. But
I but if you're yelling at a fan, you yelling
at a fan, right, I mean, obviously, if you're Luca.
You want to you want to think that. Okay, dude,
don't yell at a fan. They're gonna yell their stuff
and don't. But yelling at a fan, okay, Okay, you didn't.
You didn'tmbarrass anybody. If the fan is drawing back at you, okay.
(12:10):
But at the same time, I'm like, you know, okay,
don't yell at a fan. Same time, dude, you're yelling
at a fan. Come on on the floor though. It's
where the referee is coming up the floor behind and
Luca's screaming back. Again, if you're the referee and you're
in that space, you don't know that he's yelling at
a fan. But this is where if you're throwing a
(12:34):
guy out of the game, you have to stop. Cooler
heads have to prevail and find out what's going on.
I mean, there needs to be Okay, Okay, you just
threw the Laker superstar out of the game for yelling something.
Let's make sure we got it right. Let's go back.
And I would just say this for the for the referee,
not to uh completely defend, but you've been hearing it
(12:55):
from Luca for how.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Many minutes is he playing tonight doesn't matter. Why does
it not matter? Zip of WIT's on the phone? This
ref's getting the needle. If he I I'd love to
hear what was actually.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Said, doesn't matter. You don't throw him out of a
game like this. If he's yelling at a fan, he's
yelling at a fan, but you don't know that he's
yelling at a face in your ear the entire pay.
But but you throw them You were talking to that guy,
but you throw him out because you think he was
yelling at you. I'm saying, go back, let's make sure
(13:27):
we're I'm okay throwing him out. Hey, let's all get together.
I mean, come on, no, I get But in the end,
if you've been wearing it from from Luca, from every possession,
which his reputation is history, is tonight that if he
said the magic word back to said fan and you
think it's directed towards you, that's that's the way that
(13:49):
gets worked out, didn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
But you need but if you go back and look
at it, if you go back and say, okay, let's
see this, let's look on the replay. Let's is that
one of the things that could be it should be
or at least say, okay, dude, you just threw Luca
out of the nationally because if you're making it, if
you're making a big deal about players not playing a
naturally televised games, you got to make a big deal
about officials throwing star players out at the end of
(14:12):
nationally televised Well, they've had a bad night tonight anyway,
because you've had your officials down low and baseline not
calling things, and the trailing official coming back past half
court has been making a lot of calts from behind.
So that was certainly an issue. They were having a
lot in the first half and as things started up
in the second. I mean, come on, man, I mean,
(14:33):
I'll understand. Everybody's got to understand. Officials are not above
reproach on this, sure, right, I mean understand, if you're
gonna do it, let's see where we're at. Let's make
sure we get it right. Instead. No, I'm doing it
because Luca right away, rass, I'm yelling at a fen
Lebron was in the guys. He's yelling at the fender. No, no, no,
I think he was yelling at me. So I'm gonna
throw him out of the game. Make sure you get
it right, sensitive guy. Express employment professionals can provide contract

We'll have more in the big stories in the NBA.
(18:16):
Michael Malone getting fired as well, But big stuff happening
right now in the NFL as we inch closer and
closer to the draft. Joining us now on the hot
line NFL Insider Extraordinaire Odyssey Washington Post one oh five
seven the Fen in Baltimore. He's on Twitter at Jason
Lock and for it is Jason Locking for it?
Speaker 2 (18:39):
Man?
Speaker 1 (18:39):
What's happening about?
Speaker 4 (18:39):
How are you? Oh, he's doing all right watching Corbyn.
Carrol will be the latest guy to beat the hell
out of a Charlie Mortin pitch.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Yeah, but hey.
Speaker 4 (18:51):
Hey, it's amok. Hey, you got a good run. But
forty one years old, cook. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Maybe you never know, You never know. It could just
be an early part of the season.
Speaker 6 (19:00):
Thing Positivity Tuesday, Jason so Hey, So, looks as we
get closer to the NFL Draft, every day is a
different Shador Sanders story.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
He's meeting with teams, he's falling through the draft. What
are you hearing? What's the reality for Shador Sanders right now.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
I don't think anything has changed. It's just you know,
you be buyer. Beware what you read, what you listen
this time of year. My take on this is he
was going to go in the top ten. He is
going to go in the top ten. I wrote a
column about ten days ago at sports Line my sort
(19:42):
of five favorite prop bets, and like, I'm like, put
a couple of bucks on the Jets to take them
or the Saints to take them, and at that time
you could still get plus one thousand and above on
the Saints take quarterback with their first pick. Try to
find that now, try to find those try to find
(20:04):
that kind of value. It doesn't exist now. I don't
know they'll definitely be there at nine, but I do
think and have thought, that that's where any fall or
perceived fall would land, and the markets and reporting is
caught up with that and doesn't mean that that's, you know, bill,
how it will play out. But I think that's been
his reality, that he's in play between two and nine.
(20:27):
I don't think someone's going to move up for him,
but I don't think he's going to fall, you know,
past the ninth pick one way or the other I
have never thought. We've talked about this for weeks. I
don't think he's a fit with the Giants, just because
of the way that owner operates and what he kind
of thinks quarterbacks like how they talk and how they
(20:49):
project themselves in the way they lead and what they
do or don't stay in the media. I just don't
think that's a fit there. We've also talked about Boy,
the Browns are really dumb backflips to make you think
they're taken out dul Carter. But that kind of makes
me think maybe they're not taking out no Carter. So
I think you know, he's that's his range to two
to nine. And you know, look, I still don't think
(21:15):
it would be completely out of the question for the
jetson to take them, Like, I mean, what are they like,
what have they really patched up with Justin Field's like
what like what are realistic expectations for that? Like, I mean,
how long is that supposed to take them out of
the quarterback market for I'm not sure it takes them
out of the quarterback market at all.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, in Cleveland with their their game of Liar's Poker,
I think given the time, any time of day you
might have had one of the three guys in their
uniform with Milroe taking the invitation to the draft. Do
we cash that two and a half ticket on quarterbacks
the over in the first round? Do we get to four?
Can I get a fourth?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
I don't know about that because I still, like, I
don't know that I tell you that this is the
floor for Jackson start. Like, I think the floor has
probably picked thirty two, if that's still in place for trade.
But I don't, at least to this point, I haven't
heard of a particular team that is, you know, really
(22:19):
in love with him or that would take him before
this guy, that guy, and the other. Like I think
they are teams that like them and if they can
get something that, you know, a player they think might
perform better and then come back into the back end
of the first round and get him too, then like,
I think that's probably how it goes down. And I
(22:41):
think that's probably how we get to three. Well, you know,
maybe the Steelers just take them, you know, with their pick,
although I think there's gonna be some detackle, some other
players that they looking at, boy, because we have our
cake and eat it too, and they look they're much
more aggressive organization now than they've ever been before, and
they've made a lot of trades that we would say
(23:02):
are not typical dealers trades. So I think it happens.
I don't think there's a fourth. I think there will
be a real run on them starting Friday, that Friday
and continuing into Saturday. And I think there will, you know,
be numerous who go in that range second third round.
(23:27):
I mean, I think we're looking at, you know, a
cluster upwards, you know, five or six kids, maybe even
a few more. But I don't think there's a fourth
in the first thirty two.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
NFL Inside of Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith
Mike Harmon live from the tirec dot Com Studios. All right, now,
you mentioned the Steelers. Let's look at this Aaron Rodgers
situation from a different angle. Let's say Rogers decides, yeah,
I'm not coming. I want to wait for whatever reason,
I'll wait for Minnesota. I want to wait for something else.
What's the Steelers plan? Is it we we get Kirk
(24:06):
Cousins loose from Atlanta? Is something else? Or because boy,
that's what I keep looking at. Jay is like you
talk about mismanaging the quarterback position if he doesn't come,
Like the Steelers have nothing, I mean, they got absolutely nothing.
What do they do.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
I mean they've got make the Rudolph. But I mean
like they've gone to the playoffs, they've been in the playoffs,
hunt the guys like Mason Rudolph before. And I think
Cousins is absolutely a viable operate and Arthur Blank can
play the tough guy role now. And you can have
the GM tell people if you want them, you're paying
them the whole twenty five million, or you're paying them
at least twenty And that's fine and dandy until we
(24:39):
get to a point where it's like, oh wow, I
gotta start cutting this guych check, Like I got to
start paying my backup quarterback twenty something million dollars myself.
And I don't think that that makes sense for a
multitude of reasons, and just for sort of like the
vibes in that building and you know, empowering panic, and
(25:00):
is that really how they want their quarterback room to
play out? Like it doesn't make sense, and Cousins doesn't
want to be there, and like they don't really want
Cousins and they don't love how Cousins has handled the
situations since they draft his replacement, you know, seeing in
the hours after paying him to be their quarterback. But
like they also, you know, I think the rest of
the league doesn't see this for what it is and
that they're going to get over on somebody and have
(25:21):
them take this whole contract off their hands, and it's
just that's a game of fools poker. So I do
think Arthur Blank is doing a whole lot of bluffin now,
but at the end of the day, he doesn't want
to backup quarterback to me making five times a starter
or whatever. So yeah, I think Cleveland or Pittsburgh are
definitely options for.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
Cousins because I love all the quarterback moves, and we'd
love Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones, Joe Milton coming to
Dallas as people melting down, he's coming for Dak Prescott's job,
Jason locking for.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
I think he's coming for Trey Lance's job, and Cooper
Rush who's not there anymore and now in Baltimore's job. Look,
they're smart football people who I wrote about this months ago, like, Okay,
this doesn't look like it's going to be much of
a quarterback class in terms of you know, what was
out there available in free agency, and the people are
(26:15):
kind of lukewarm about the draft. Like Malik Willison and
this kid were two guys who, you know, just talking
to enterprising general managers and executives and not even guys
that needed quarterbacks. But like, dude, if you were in
this PNE, what would you be trying to do? And
they're like, well, I like the Green Bay backup, I
like the New England backup. Like I would try to
(26:36):
get one of those guys and and develop them. I
think there's upside with this kid, and of course he's
not any but there's way they structured that contract. I mean,
there's not even any point in wasting breath and time
talking about other options in the short term because they're
paying him over sixty million dollars a year to be
their quarterback and he's stuck with them, and they're stuck
(26:58):
with him, so that's not you know, the next eighteen months.
But yeah, I mean, Dak Prescott also tends to get hurt,
you know, in the last three or four years, and
this other person might play because we've seen a fair
amount of Cooper Rush the last few years, and like
there are some people who think he's got NFL starting potential.
So I mean, it's not a threat to Dak Prescott
(27:21):
again anytime soon, but their backup tends to play, and
they didn't want to pay reading to Cooper Rush or whatever,
and I think this kid can play a little bit.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
You know. The thing is Jay, And this is what
I look at is that, yes, you do need somebody
that might need to step in, because clearly we've seen
two out of the last three years Dak gets hurt.
But I kind of looked at it as they went
out and got Trey Lance, and it was worth it because, hey,
we're gonna put a little bit of pressure on you, Dak,
because we're gonna put a guy behind you who's young
and hungry and maybe getting a chance, and kind of
(27:52):
what Green Bay did with Jordan Love for Aaron Rodgers
and what happened. Dak went out and had an incredible
twenty twenty three. Now he got hurt last year, Okay,
Cooper Rush gone, we do the same thing. Now we're
gonna go out and get Joe Milton. So make sure Dak,
you know we're gonna keep the pressure on you a
little bit knowing there's a younger guy behind you, because
it worked well as a strategy in twenty twenty three.
I would trade a fourth round pick if I knew
(28:12):
that was gonna make my quarterback throw for four thousand
yards and thirty five touchdowns, I'd do that.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
I just don't think that's the calls over relationship. And
I don't think he feels threatened by a guy who
was playing behind Jacobe Brissette and lost it, you know
what I mean? And like got, I don't think. I
don't think it's that. I mean, I just think they've
built the flow of football team in the quarterback. There
(28:37):
are going to be weeks where he overcomes that and
he you know, looks like an MVP, because there have
certainly been stretches where he's performed like an MVP. And
there's going to be times where the lack of a
running game and the lack of an offensive line and
the defense not creating a bunch of first half turnovers
and putting them in positions and ex seeds are just
going to make them look like who they are. And
(28:59):
it doesn't really matter if you've got Dak Prescott at
sixty million dollars or Joe Milton at one million dollars,
a Cooper Rush at three. You're going to lose more
games than you win, especially when you're playing decent opponents.
And so I don't really like, I don't think Dak
Prescott's spending any time looking over his shoulder because they
traded a fifth round pick or whatever for this guy. Like,
(29:19):
I just don't think that's the case. And I think
Dak knows he's also I'll never admit it, but I mean,
he's been a business decision. He knows these guys are
full of crap. He does not win anything there. But
he's the quarterback that Dallas Cowboy's making sixty million dollars
a year. He got a whole bunch of national endorsements,
the national TV, a whole bunch. He's going to have
(29:40):
big numbers in a lot of those games, even if
it's garbage time because they're getting blown out. You know,
he's he's going to be a Dallas icon forever and
nobody wins. So like even the fact that which his
signature playoff moment, well, what quarterback since Troy Aikman has
had a signature playoff moment in Dallas. I just think
it is what it is.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
I know Jordan Love had a signature playoff my I
had a perfect quarterback ring.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
Well yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Yeah uh.

i look at things a little bit. Differently. Uh, yes
had they lost four in a? Row? Yeah were they
just meandering around since The All star? Break? Yeah and
if the reports of what we heard are true And
malone lost the locker, room because clearly there's been evidence
(39:08):
that you've seen evidence of that on social media, today
things he has said about his team in the last,
month then you know, What, yeah fire the. Guy. Now
we've seen teams fire, managers fire coaches before the playoffs

are going to go with their, system, Right Rick adelman's
kid is going to take, over which tells you how
OLD i Am David adaman taking. Over they're going to
run the same. Thing this is just a case of
a different energy and they saw that we're not going
anywhere with. This so let's not give away a playoff
(39:52):
With Nikola jokic still in his, prime and we get everybody's.
Attention we clear the, decks everybody's playing. Freer it's a
different energy around the. TEAM i am with. THIS i
understand why this has to, happen and it doesn't matter
is right before the end of the. Regulation the more
that you see the little sideline views like oh yeah,
THIS i recorded this couple of weeks. AGO i didn't
(40:13):
think it was much of. Anything and It's Nikola jokic
having it out With malone on the sideline or the. Assistants,
defensively they're a joke at, times like they we watch
and marvel at the lack of effort time and. Again
and then there there's a lot of back and forth right,
wondering you, know When Calvin booth gets fired as, well
(40:35):
decisions not, made and battles up top as to how
to keep that roster constructed and winning Around. Jokic it,
