recap of the weekend. We call it love it Hate?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
What did you love?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
These?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Clay Hay is.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Ah love love love, love, love love hate hate. Hey, Hey, hey,
hey hey. You gotta express what you really loved about something.
You gotta express what you really hated about something. You
got to advocate for your own feelings, all right. Our
resident lover is Dan Byer. He loves golf, Seahawks, Ohio
(01:57):
State football, the Bucks, his family. Not in that order,
not that order, not in that order. I'm just listening
out things, okay. Mountain Dew also loves loves Mountain Dew.
Dan Barrow what do you love for the weekend, Doug.
I was almost gonna trade in my love for two
hates today. I don't know if we can do trade
(02:18):
not like that is so, you know, Jason, you're rubbing
off on Dan Bey.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Would you, Jason, do you have two things that you
love or would somebody like to trade there?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Jason has two things that he loves. He loves his well,
yes he does. There's only two things he loves, maybe
three on earth. Jason. You're smoking our girlfriend, your son
and Dodger baseball. And really it's only in a good
won the World Series, huh.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
And a good book and a good book all true? Okay,
I I can't tell you that I that I liked.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Wait, one more thing he likes the opposite of BS Yep,
there's one, sorry, Dan.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I did like the golf this past week weekend RBC Heritage.
It's at Hilton Head. I've been fortunate enough to play
that course once about a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Humble brag.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
It's not a humble brag.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I just you see that course, great course. I believe
I played that course.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
It's just unique. It's not like a lot of courses
that you see anywhere South Carolina, that South Carolina, Southern feel,
the tight fairways and the trees, and Justin Thomas coming
out on top. I know certain people aren't fans of
the signature events on the PGA Tour because of what
it's doing to the I guess lesser tour player if
you will, but again, a great leader board. Justin Thomas
(03:38):
wins for the first time since twenty twenty two, the
PGA Championship that he won at Southern Hills and breaks
through wins in a playoff yesterday, and I like watching
those tournaments. And it's one of the cool things about
when you play golf, and I recommend anybody do that,
is if you can remember the shots that you hit
and you see pros hit. There's something so unique about that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You can't do no shot that I ever hit that
somebody says reminds you of a pro.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
But when you could say, well, this is what I
did on sixteen, or this is the putt that I hit,
or this is where the chip goes. Because I was
in that I short sighted myself. It's going to roll
away from you. I think, as someone who plays golf
and someone who enjoys golf, there's a neatness to it.
And I would say that anybody that likes to play
the game, it's pretty neat when you can say that
(04:29):
you played a course that is used for the PGA
Tour or is a tour event. And that's why I
take advantage. It's got one of a few of my
favorite holes in golf on the course. And so yeah,
I am a fan. I am a fan of what
they do at the RBC Heritage and Justin Thomas won
(04:49):
in an exciting playoff with a big putt on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, Jay Stu, what'd you love in the weekend?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I love watching Russell was.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
He gets a lot of negative feedback by the press
and by fans, and I've never quite understood that one.
And you're a coach, Doug. You know more about basketball
than I'll ever know. But like what I do know
is that if I'm just sitting on the couch, I
love watching the guy play on Saturday. If he's not
(05:24):
on the court, the Nuggets don't beat the Clippers. There
were hustle plays, fifty to fifty balls. He was intimidating
with his energy. Was like he was annoying. He was
that guy and pick up basketball that tries really hard
on defense and then you just want to give up.
And it felt like the Clippers were doing that because
he was trying so hard. He personifies that cliche that
(05:47):
I've been hearing from coaches forever. Someday you're going to
show up and you're not going to be able to
make contacts. Some days you're going to show up. You're
not going to be able to feel the balls. It's
just we have our bad days. One thing that can
never take a day off is hustle and energy and enthusiasm.
And Grosbrook personifies that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay, I think some of it is made for TV,
some of his bull but okay, okay, Ryan, you guess
I loved From the Weekend.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Yes, yes, I do, Doug. This thing only happens once
a year. It makes me very happy because it only
happens once a year. I'm talking about WrestleMania. That's right,
my man, two great main events except for the you
know the ending. John Cena is now the all time
winning champion. Love it, Yes, I'm sure you do. Thank
(06:43):
you for the whole comments.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So John Cena has had the best scripts of anybody
in the.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Pretty much pretty much, and if you've gotten that ring,
you'd probably tear a cl Doug. But as I was saying,
he's won the world titles seventeen times, but unfortunately he
pulled to Tom Brady and cheated to get this title.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's why I cheat to get the title.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Uh, he kicks someone where you shouldn't kick someone. I'll
just say it like that since we're on the radio.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So he fake kicked somebody in their junk. And because
he fake kicks somebody in their junk, he's he cheated
to get to the world.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Yeah, we're not supposed to do that. You're not supposed
to do that. I know what you're getting at.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Do you think doing somebody and.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The things in the ring that you could never do, Doug,
You wouldn't last five days. I think Ryan's like really
sensitive for like yeah, what is yeah? What is what's
the deal?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Like seriously, Like you say like it's the greatest event,
but the endings stunk, So I make a comment about it.
You're trying to make dog like Doug never claimed to
be Haul Cogan or Jimmy Superfly Snooka at any point.
We all want to appreciate the wrestling. Why are you
being so sensitive about this.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I like actual wrestling. Yeah, this is it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
No one said one crack about wrestling until you come
in and then start thinking that everybody's against him.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I said, I said, it's not it's not actually wrestling.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Well, here's the thing. Two things, they jump.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Off large objects. They're stunt men. They're really really talented.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
They're very very talented.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Answer really talented answer stunt men go, they're really really good.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
To answer Dan's question. What's annoying me is I keep
I keep getting interrupted. And two I used to be
a professional wrestler, so I'm a little touchy on the
subject when people are like try to like look down
on it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So when you lost as a professional wrestler, were you
mad at the opponent or were you mad at the
guy who wrote the script?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I was mad if I didn't look good in the ring,
if I made mistakes in the ring. Because these things
are graded, Doug Dougie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Your your law, your loss is graded.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
The match, putting the match together, how the crowd reacts.
It's graded.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I don't know if why.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So you loved you loved Russell many or hated it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Uh, it was good overall. It made me happy. I
loved it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yes, okay, good, good enough? What I what? What I loved.
I'm a huge fan of Mike Conley. I just am
I like Mike Conley. I don't, it's so it's so amazing.
I mean, Dan, you you can relate to this. Remember
go looking back at the Final Four when it was
Roy Hibbert and Georgetown against Ohio State and Greg Odin.
(09:21):
And if you would have at polled one hundred percent
of the people over hey, which one of these guys
on this court in this final four are going to
be playing basketball the best and the longest, Mike Conley
would not have made the top three or five.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That's true. Jeff Green is still around for Georgetown, hanging around.
But to your point, yes, fully agreed.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, And I'm watching Mike Conley. And then he did
something which I just love, which during the big run
that they made in the second half against the Lakers
in transition, he just stops and shoots the three instead
of driving in there where there's a bunch trees. And
I can guarantee Barkley was throwing up in his mouth
back in studio in Atlanta. But it's actually the right play.
(10:08):
But more than anything, This is just my love for
Mike Conley. I hope he gets to an NBA finals.
Though he wins an NBA championship, I've never heard anybody
say anything bad about the person that is Mike Conley. Plus,
he has that really cool gym at his house. But
I thought I thought the house was back when he
was in Utah. So did he sell that thing? I
don't know if you guys remember back in COVID he
was doing like full games there, he did interviews there
(10:31):
or whatever he like. Literally, well, it doesn't affect me.
I can still go to the gym. Gym's my house.
I don't know. My thing is. I just like Mike Conley.
He's playing great timbers, got the win. I loved it.
Let's get to what we hated from the weekend. Clearly
Ryan hates anybody who questions the validity of the fake
sporter for wrestling not a sport. Hold on Ryan, it's not.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
A conversation with There's no conversation to get this nausea.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
There's no hold on Ryan. No is wrestling a sport?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Sports entertainment?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Is wrestling a sport?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
I'll explain it to you off air.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Maybe there's no explaybe is professionals.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
That I'm going to give you. Maybe next time I'll
write it in crayon.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Okay, thanks professional A question, Senator, Senator Senata is era
is professional wrestling in your opinion, a sport?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
That's not the segment we're playing. We're playing love, Love
and Hate, not if wrestling is a prot.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, let's get to you. Just get to Jason Stewart,
Jay Stu, what you hate for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I hate scorekeepers who ruin big moments. Scorekeeper Bill Matthews.
A lot of people knew his name this weekend. And
there's one reason why Max Fried took a no hitter
into the eighth inning, or people thought he took a
no hitter into the eighth inning until it was revealed
that an error three innings prior was turned into a
(12:04):
hit by scorekeeper Bill Matthews. A no hitter was broken
up by the scorekeeper. An unwritten rule in baseball is this,
if you have a fifty to fifty error or hit
in baseball, it can't break up the no hitter, So
it's an error until the no hitter is broken up.
Then you can go back and reverse the error into
(12:26):
a hit. So Bill Matthews violates an unwritten rule. He
pissed Michael Koff. He pretty much pissed everybody off. That's
my generation, because you need to know the unwritten rules.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I just I don't understand how you can go back.
You and I talked about this. It's like when when
there's something that goes wrong in a basketball game, there
does come a point where you can't go back, you know,
five plays earlier and go like, hey, that was a
shot clock violation. Right, his toe was on the line, right,
his toe was online, So yeah, I ye had not
(13:09):
that A no hitter is the is the world. We've
talked about no hitters. Not liking no hitters in the past,
but the idea that two innings later you're like, oh, hey,
by the way, that was a hit. That's weak sauce,
weak sauce. Uh byer, you said you had two things
you hated.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah, no, I have four. So just from what we've done, So, yeah,
don't put Ryan.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Don't don't say I hate Ryan.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I don't hate Ryan. I don't like when Ryan and
his wrestling brethren like try to separate uh and try
to make this this I don't know chasm. If you
will between the two sides wider. I also, Dug, don't
like your argument towards Ryan about is wrestling a sport, Like,
(13:50):
I think we can appreciate the extreme athleticism of it,
but anything with a predetermined outcome of a script is
it's it's not competition. And therefore in my in my mind,
it's it's not a sport in that way.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Correct. But again Dan, that's the flaw in the argument, right.
The argument is do they do some things that I
wouldn't want to do? Sure? Yeah, absolutely, but like putting
yourself in harm's way, jumping, you know, off the top
rope onto a table, you know, and finding just the
right way to land without hurting yourself or land on
(14:24):
another human being where you don't hurt yourself like that
is an absolute art. What it is not. It is
not a sport. It is not. It is a predetermined
outcome makes it so it's not a sport, and no
one would for otherwise. And so the idea were like, oh,
this guy's a champion, like he got written into the script.
It's not like anybody can go off script to go
like now I want to be a champion. I'm just
gonna kick everybody's ass. So I don't know what that
(14:48):
does for it.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And I touched a little up in this on My
Sunday show yesterday with Mike Harmon. But the point that
got me was when Sports Center was revealing the outcomes.
It's like, well, you could just do it once you
got the list from Triple H, right, Like you could
just put it on, put it on the news. But
it's a TV show. It's while we got so mad.
When Darren Ravel revealed the when a Jeopardy streak ended,
he said that it was news because it was aired
(15:11):
in Huntsville, Alabama at ten AM on a day when
nobody had seen that night's episode. And it's like, no,
there's drama to it it. It doesn't belong on Sports Center.
But they are, in my mind, so gifted and to
be able to put on a show for as long
as wrestlers do in the ring, in front of in
front of that crowd. In all the documentaries, I think
that we've seen as Ultimate Warrior just like had no
(15:33):
skills and just would run out of gas, and so
like these other guys that have to carry him, I
think there's a deep appreciation for that, and so I
don't ever want to be put in a group where
I would not appreciate the show. And anytime you could
get seventy thousand people on back to back nights to
show up, whether you're a musician or you're a wrestler
or you're a football team, is I am aokay with it.
(15:58):
I was also just going to say the other hate
that I have is that the Bucks for some reason
are just I don't know why they're in this rivalry
and this tiff with the Pacers, but it's always something
about the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's it's Terry's Halbert, it is, but it's also Tyr's
Haliburton is from Milwaukee, and all he does is run
his mouth the whole game, and they they you know.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, yeah nine to two. Oh absolutely, Tyre's Halliburton Ochcosh North.
I believe, I get it. But this is the team
that won a championship four years ago, and they get
into it like in the in the playing tournament last year.
Obviously Indiana ousted them again, but like enough already, and
then they got in Damian Lillard's having words with Haliburton
(16:43):
again the end of game one, Like just move on.
There should be nothing to you please move on from it.
That's my hate.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uh I get I get to I get to hold on.
Now I get to give my hate from the weekend,
don't I.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I do, no doubt we got.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I hate the way the NBA Playoffs are covered. I
just do. I hate that Jeffvan Gundy is not covering
the NBA playoffs and Mark Jackson and Mike Breen. That
was the best broadcasting team that that we had, and
you know, I feel bad for I know Jay Billison
(17:30):
has covered the NBA chase a really really good college
basketball analyst, but the NBA world is different and the
things that are happening and the rotations like he's, it
doesn't make him look his best as opposed to he's
in any conversation of the best in terms of college basketballs.
They're finally losing using Tim Legler. You may be better
(17:52):
off in studio. It's just it's just hard. And then
I just, you know, I get Reggie's done it for
a long time and their other teams. I just I
don't like watching the NBA playoffs when you don't have
Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen and Mark Jackson cover together.
That was a great broadcasting team that understood the sport,
(18:13):
worked together well. Awesome play by play, awesome and analysis,
and just enough personality to make it all work together.
So I hate it. I hate it. That's a little
love and hate from the weekend.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Live Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's
catch you ready for the NFL Draft, which is going
to occur about a block and a half from where
I am right now. Matt Castle joins this course. Former
Pro Bowl quarterback play fourteen years in the NFL, most
notably I think with the Patriots, right and the Chiefs,
(18:58):
especially when he replaced Tom Brady when Brady had his
ACL tear, and of course was the starter with the
Chiefs as well. He joins us now on the Doug Gottlief. So,
by the way, I'm not sure if you guys know,
but our guy Bobby Bones goes to podcast with Matt.
It's called Lots to Say. It's part of the NFL
Podcast Network and you can find it on the iHeartMedia
app or wherever you get your podcasts. Matt, how are you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I'm doing well, Doug, how are you?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm good. This is an interesting year, right. You have
fewer quarterbacks in the first round. You have fewer underclassmen
in the draft because the college football is paying on
some of them more than NFL rookies are going to make.
What's just like, as a guy who played in the
league covers the league knows it to experience how different
(19:45):
this draft actually is.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's an incredibly different draft, and I think it all
starts in the college football game with the nil and
the transfer portal. It's drastically different from where I was
just twenty years ago when I was coming out of
the lead, and so they're making more money at an
earlier age, which I think benefits to the players in
many ways. By the same time, it definitely changes the
(20:08):
outlook of the NFL draft in many ways. And you're
seeing this year in particular. I know you're always at
the mercy of the crop of kids that are coming out,
but this year's draft class, particularly at the quarterback position,
has got a lot of intrigue because people really don't
know what quarterback would you say, is the number one
guy I know can't warn is seen as that guy
(20:28):
in this class. But after that, as you get to
Shador and Jackson Dart and even guys like Dylan Gabriel,
Will Howard, where do they go and where do they
sit in and this draft that's very fascinating.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, it really is. You know, I'll tell you something interesting.
I was talking to actually a general manager yesterday and
he's like, you know, the weirdest part about this is, like,
you used to be able to get background pretty easy
because most of these guys we are at one or
two schools for a couple of years. Now you have
guys that are at three or four schools and they're
(20:59):
not their low enough for you really to dig in
on who they are or what they're about. How much
of like again, I remember when you guys were with
the Patriots, so much was about the type of people
college graduates, right, is what Bill those guys wanted. How
different is it now when people can't do as deep
a background checks as they used to.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think that there's a lot out there on social
media that you can do your background check on. But
at the same time, like you said, you got a
guy like Tyler Schuck who's been to three different schools
over the duration of a five year period, and some
of it was due to injury, some of it was
maybe not the right fit. But at the end of
the day, it's tough for evaluators because you're watching these
kids not grow in the same system, but in a
(21:41):
different system every other year. And how do you get
a true sense of that player unless he really is
able to develop and grow within one particular system. So
it's a little bit more challenging. But at the same time,
there are those things that you evaluate in terms of adaptability,
how quickly he processes, is he able to start into
a new system, which at the same time I believe
(22:03):
benefits the evaluators because they can really truly see how
quick this kid can pick up a particular offense or defense.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
When you know, obviously you were a fascinating story come
out of sc and and not being not being a starter.
How different though, is the game? Right Like? How different
is because we see now there's this push, this rush
to start guys right away, get that clock going, get
as much use out of the young guys as possible.
(22:34):
How different is that game when you're under or behind
center in terms of not just speed, but the dynamic
defenses and exotic blitzes. How different is it from one
level to the next.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
It's much different, And it's a huge jump when you
go from college to the NFL in particular. And the
reason I say that is because now it's your full
time job. You are at the mercy of the time
limits that you have in college.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
So you get.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
A few hours here to watch some film, digest the film,
and then you go out on the practice field. Then
you got to go and head out the class. When
you get to the NFL, it is a full time
job where you're there at six point thirty in the morning,
You're going to meetings all day long. You do a
walk through, you do a practice, you come back in
watch the practice film from that day, and probably get
started on the next situational football day, which is third
(23:21):
down on Thursday, red zone on Friday. So there is
a lot more in terms of learning and that steep
learning curve because of the complexities that you have both
on the offense and defensive side.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Of the ball.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You're always looking for that edge. Because the great coordinators
I've been around, it's always about creating matchups, and that
could change from one week to the next based on
the game plan. And so you do have to be
a student of the game when you're going to play
at the next level.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Are you a shoulder guy?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I like shad Or. I think I've got a lot
of respect for him. I believe that he is an
accurate thrower. He's won everywhere he's been. He's a guy
that I also believe has some flaws. He doesn't throw
a great deep all, he might not have the strongest arm,
But I will say he is a high level processor,
a guy that was coached on a pro style offense.
So he's got a lot to offer. Now when you
(24:10):
look at this year's draft, I don't believe of him
in that top ten conversation. That's just my own opinion.
I think he has the ability depends to potentially be
a first rounder. However, I do believe you have to
surround him with talent. I'm talking about offensive line wide
receivers because most of his play you'll see it it's
going to be inside the pocket.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Brock Perdy, we haven't gotten details yet, but everything we
know leads us to believe he's going to be a
sixty million dollar man, and my argument against paying him
sixty million dollars is I'm not trying to get into
his pockets. I don't care. It's not my money. My argument, though,
is that he was surrounded with an all star team,
(24:56):
and when any of those pieces weren't healthy, he didn't
look like new the same quarterback, and I look, most
guys wouldn't. But we have this insayt Shea will need
to like, I don't know, are we right in the
wrong for the past because he was mister irrelevant or
is it keeping up with the Joneses and paying him
top dollar, Like, it's got to be a hard one
for you, having been that guy who overachieved on your
(25:19):
first contracts your second contract, you're like, yo, you got
to make it up to me. But what are your
thoughts on the idea of paying brock Purty in that
top echelon of quarterbacks this offseason?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I don't believe that brock perty is probably considered one
of the top five quarterbacks in the league, maybe not
even the top ten. But what he does do is
he consistently wins. And I agree with you. When they
had their personnel go down, he wasn't the same player.
But you could say that about a lot of guys
or off the NFL. And the fact is he's hit
the market at the right time. These guys are getting paid.
(25:52):
And if the forty nine ers want to keep him
and make him their franchise in the face of their
franchise instead of taking a step back and having to
go different direction, then they know what they have. They
know that he is a guy that fits this system.
They've got to surround him with the pieces. But they're
going to have to commit to that. If you're gonna
pay brock Party sixty, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I think he's a but what but why? But Blake,
I guess here's the question. Okay, why do you Why
is this? Like you have to pay him sixty? Why
you can't pay him forty? Like is somebody else? And
we're not even to the part where he walks right,
that's we're still years away because he could franchise time whatever.
(26:32):
But like, no one's gonna pay him sixty on the
open market if he gets the open market. I don't
understand that. So why not just give him another year
at thirty or forty and go, hey, look, dude, you've
got a chance to be a quarterback here for ten years,
and the less money you take, the more we're going
to surround you with dudes. And the more dudes you have,
(26:53):
the more we win. The more we win, the more
you know ancler your money you're making, then you can
be a Hall of Famer. I just I don't understand this.
Well you have to. Why do you have to?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I don't think you have to. That's a decision that
you have to make as an organization, and it stopped
starts at the top. Is this a guy that we
see that's going to be our guy for the next
five to ten years. If not, and you have any
trepidation whatsoever about the type of player he could be,
not just this year, but the following year or the
year after that, then absolutely you don't pay him sixty
(27:25):
million dollars, which you might do. Like you said, their
options are to franchise him. Their options are to try
to take make him take a lesser deal, say forty
million dollars a year with guaranteed money for two years,
whatever it might be. But that's up to the player
as well and their representation of sitting there where they're
trying to maximize their earning potential now because he's a
hot name, He's coming up at the right time, and
(27:48):
the powers that be will decide that. Of course, your
representation is always going to push for more money, sure,
and then it's and then the organization is going to
counterbalance that with all the arguments that you just made,
and they meet in the middle. We'll see, again, this
is a contract, whether it's fifty million, whether it's sixty million,
whether it's forty million, this will set him up for life.
So that's a decision that you have to put into
(28:09):
that player's hands and make that decision for his family
and also whether or not he feels good about that.
And then the representation also has to go out and
make sure that what does his value look like on
the open market compared to being at the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Right now stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio,
I feel like the trend is going to be trying
to find more bakers, trying to find more Sam Donald's,
trying to find guys who, for whatever reason, you have
very highly touted guys and on their second kind of
tour duty or maybe even third tour of duty. I
mean look at Geno Smith and the research in his career.
(28:49):
Those guys, because they've seen all the live bullets. As
a guy who's been through that, help me out which
is the real Sam Donald? Is it the Sam Donald
up into the last couple of games of the season?
Is is it Sam Donald in Carolina Jets and end
of the season? Like what Sam Donald should the Seattle
Seahawks expect to see on a football field this year?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I think we're going to find out a lot about
Sam Donald this season because when he went to the Jets,
obviously that's an organization that people and quarterbacks in particular
have gone to die. And then he went down to
Carolina in a difficult situation there, played a little bit
down there. Forty nine ers was a reset year for him.
He's around some really good coaching with Kyle Shanahan, and
then he goes with Kevin O'Connell, who's known to do
(29:34):
a really good job with his quarterbacks, puts them in
a position to be successful. And I'm not taking anything
away from Sam Donald. He played lights out, was an
MVP candidate throughout most of the season. Obviously, those last
two weeks is what has everybody talking deservedly show so,
because if you're that guy, you've got to step up
in the biggest moment. But this year, going to a
new organization, having another opportunity to go out and be
(29:57):
the guy, it'll tell us a lot about the type
of player he is and the type of offense also
will probably dictate his success as well. But I think
he's a talented player. He's been through a lot of adversity.
He's dealt with that well and he's rebounded, and that's
what you want to see, is being able to overcome
some of those difficult circumstances.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
The podcast has called lots to say. It's with Bobby
Bones and our guest Matt Cassle Mack Castle, the former
Pro Bowl quarterback of course to start for the Patriots,
started for the Chiefs and talked at part of his
fourteen years in the league. Okay, so does Bones just
try and talk about Arkansas football? Is that all he
tries to do the whole podcast?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Bobby loves his Arkansas football, but he loves I think
everything Arkansas. It's so great. He's got memorabilion up all
over the place. But Bobby is such a talented, incredible
posts of the show, and I'm lucky to be with him.
He's so knowledgeable about so many different things. But he
also is funny as all get out, and he brings
pop culture into it. And he's got some big name
(30:54):
friends too, like Beim McGraw came on, We had Luke
Bryant come on. We had a bunch of different PEO people,
So we we have fun with it. We talk a
lot about the NFL. We have some great guests that
come on today. One of my old teammates, Matt White
came on, and we're having a blast doing it and
hopefully everybody's enjoying the show.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, the Patriot media takeover has begun, right, Yeah, Patriot
media has Hey, can you believe Belichick's guy his girlfriend,
like on the field, of all the of all the guys,
to have his girlfriend who's in her twenties on a
field like Belichick, mister no distractions, do your job guy.
That's I'm sure. I'm sure there's a group textill around
(31:34):
of you guys just tackling.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
There's definitely an evolution of the Bill Belichick that I
grew up around versus uh, the UNC head coach now,
So it'll be fascinating to watch him this year. And
like you said, there's a lot more that goes into it,
and I won't dive into that, but at the same time,
I believe a name like that going back into the
college game and obviously one of the best. It's probably
(31:59):
the best head coach ever coach the game himself is
now back in college. It'll be fascinating to watch that
all unfold this year.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Matt, I look forward to listening to the pod. Thanks
for joining us, but enjoy the draft.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Listection absolutely have a great one.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
All right, it's Matt Castle joining us. Former Pro Bowl
quarterback in the Nation foot Bully.

Dan Byer, what do you got, Doug? We start out
in Dallas where Nico Harrison, the Mavericks general manager, answered
questions from reporters today in a public setting, and a
lot of those questions were about Luca, and then there
was this question, why shouldn't you be fired?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
One?
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I think I've done a really good job here and
I don't think I can be judged by the injuries
this year. You have to judge from totality from beginning
to end, and so I think I have a really
good working relationship with Patrick. I think you had in Rick.
The leadership that we have is really elite and you'll
see next year when our team comes back. We're going
to be competing for a championship.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah. Look, obviously none of the plan had to do
with Kyrie getting hurt or Anthony Davis being hurt most
of the time he's there, And I do actually agree
with him, like or I can. I can understand the sentiment. Hey,
I knew that people like Luca. I had no idea
it would be this much. But I also think there's
(34:13):
just a lack of understanding of he made a trade.
It was a big thing, it shocked people, and then
the key component from his end of the trade wasn't
healthy when they made the trade and never really got healthy.
And his lack of understanding of the optics of how
it looked, as well as understanding of how much the
(34:34):
people of Dallas gravitated towards Luca because he was like
Dirk two point zero. I think that's the party missed up.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Cooper Flagg is entering the NBA Draft the duke freshman,
consensus Player of the Year and unanimous first team All American,
heading to the drafts after just one year in Durham,
likely the first overall pick in the draft when it
takes place in late June.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, I'd be surprised if he wasn't the first overall pick.
And remember Cooper Flag is actually the age of a
high school senior. He's eighteen years old. And while you
may say like I was seventeen when I was in
high school, college basketball players by and large are nineteen
turning twenty at youngest. At youngest during their freshman year,
he was seventeen turned eighteen. He was one of the
(35:17):
best players in the college game, if not the best
player in the college game. And obviously most people think
myself included, he's to be a very good problem.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Fox twenty nine in Philadelphia, I says police in Camden,
New Jersey, have a suspecting custody and have recovered the
vehicle of Eagles wide receiver aj Brown after the car
was reported stolen earlier this morning. He went out looking
for the person too, even took to social media.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
People still stealing cars apparently so so much easier to
track now, like people really.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Council for Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharp says
his client is a victim of black mail from a
woman who has filed a fifty million dollars civil lawsuit
against Sharp in Nevada, claiming sexual assault and rape. Sharp
nine those allegations saying their relationship was consensual.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't know. I know, Shannon,
I like, it's crazy. One day you read he's gonna
get one hundred million dollars deal for his podcast network.
The next day he's being sued for fifty million dollars.
You're like, man, that is life comes at you fast.
Speaker 5 (36:20):

(01:25):
recap of the weekend. We call it love it Hate?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
What did you love?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
God?
Speaker 2 (01:30):
I love you and what did you hate?
Speaker 4 (01:33):
These?
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Clay Hay is.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Ah love love love, love, love love hate hate. Hey, Hey, hey,
hey hey. You gotta express what you really loved about something.
You gotta express what you really hated about something. You
got to advocate for your own feelings, all right. Our
resident lover is Dan Byer. He loves golf, Seahawks, Ohio
(01:57):
State football, the Bucks, his family. Not in that order,
not that order, not in that order. I'm just listening
out things, okay. Mountain Dew also loves loves Mountain Dew.
Dan Barrow what do you love for the weekend, Doug.
I was almost gonna trade in my love for two
hates today. I don't know if we can do trade
(02:18):
not like that is so, you know, Jason, you're rubbing
off on Dan Bey.
Speaker 5 (02:23):
Would you, Jason, do you have two things that you
love or would somebody like to trade there?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Jason has two things that he loves. He loves his well,
yes he does. There's only two things he loves, maybe
three on earth. Jason. You're smoking our girlfriend, your son
and Dodger baseball. And really it's only in a good
won the World Series, huh.
Speaker 5 (02:44):
And a good book and a good book all true? Okay,
I I can't tell you that I that I liked.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Wait, one more thing he likes the opposite of BS Yep,
there's one, sorry, Dan.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
I did like the golf this past week weekend RBC Heritage.
It's at Hilton Head. I've been fortunate enough to play
that course once about a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Humble brag.
Speaker 5 (03:09):
It's not a humble brag.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I just you see that course, great course. I believe
I played that course.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
It's just unique. It's not like a lot of courses
that you see anywhere South Carolina, that South Carolina, Southern feel,
the tight fairways and the trees, and Justin Thomas coming
out on top. I know certain people aren't fans of
the signature events on the PGA Tour because of what
it's doing to the I guess lesser tour player if
you will, but again, a great leader board. Justin Thomas
(03:38):
wins for the first time since twenty twenty two, the
PGA Championship that he won at Southern Hills and breaks
through wins in a playoff yesterday, and I like watching
those tournaments. And it's one of the cool things about
when you play golf, and I recommend anybody do that,
is if you can remember the shots that you hit
and you see pros hit. There's something so unique about that.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
You can't do no shot that I ever hit that
somebody says reminds you of a pro.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
But when you could say, well, this is what I
did on sixteen, or this is the putt that I hit,
or this is where the chip goes. Because I was
in that I short sighted myself. It's going to roll
away from you. I think, as someone who plays golf
and someone who enjoys golf, there's a neatness to it.
And I would say that anybody that likes to play
the game, it's pretty neat when you can say that
(04:29):
you played a course that is used for the PGA
Tour or is a tour event. And that's why I
take advantage. It's got one of a few of my
favorite holes in golf on the course. And so yeah,
I am a fan. I am a fan of what
they do at the RBC Heritage and Justin Thomas won
(04:49):
in an exciting playoff with a big putt on Sunday.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, Jay Stu, what'd you love in the weekend?
Speaker 4 (04:57):
I love watching Russell was.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
He gets a lot of negative feedback by the press
and by fans, and I've never quite understood that one.
And you're a coach, Doug. You know more about basketball
than I'll ever know. But like what I do know
is that if I'm just sitting on the couch, I
love watching the guy play on Saturday. If he's not
(05:24):
on the court, the Nuggets don't beat the Clippers. There
were hustle plays, fifty to fifty balls. He was intimidating
with his energy. Was like he was annoying. He was
that guy and pick up basketball that tries really hard
on defense and then you just want to give up.
And it felt like the Clippers were doing that because
he was trying so hard. He personifies that cliche that
(05:47):
I've been hearing from coaches forever. Someday you're going to
show up and you're not going to be able to
make contacts. Some days you're going to show up. You're
not going to be able to feel the balls. It's
just we have our bad days. One thing that can
never take a day off is hustle and energy and enthusiasm.
And Grosbrook personifies that.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Okay, I think some of it is made for TV,
some of his bull but okay, okay, Ryan, you guess
I loved From the Weekend.
Speaker 7 (06:19):
Yes, yes, I do, Doug. This thing only happens once
a year. It makes me very happy because it only
happens once a year. I'm talking about WrestleMania. That's right,
my man, two great main events except for the you
know the ending. John Cena is now the all time
winning champion. Love it, Yes, I'm sure you do. Thank
(06:43):
you for the whole comments.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
So John Cena has had the best scripts of anybody
in the.
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Pretty much pretty much, and if you've gotten that ring,
you'd probably tear a cl Doug. But as I was saying,
he's won the world titles seventeen times, but unfortunately he
pulled to Tom Brady and cheated to get this title.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
That's why I cheat to get the title.
Speaker 7 (07:03):
Uh, he kicks someone where you shouldn't kick someone. I'll
just say it like that since we're on the radio.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
So he fake kicked somebody in their junk. And because
he fake kicks somebody in their junk, he's he cheated
to get to the world.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Yeah, we're not supposed to do that. You're not supposed
to do that. I know what you're getting at.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Do you think doing somebody and.
Speaker 7 (07:23):
The things in the ring that you could never do, Doug,
You wouldn't last five days. I think Ryan's like really
sensitive for like yeah, what is yeah? What is what's
the deal?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
Like seriously, Like you say like it's the greatest event,
but the endings stunk, So I make a comment about it.
You're trying to make dog like Doug never claimed to
be Haul Cogan or Jimmy Superfly Snooka at any point.
We all want to appreciate the wrestling. Why are you
being so sensitive about this.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I like actual wrestling. Yeah, this is it.
Speaker 5 (07:53):
No one said one crack about wrestling until you come
in and then start thinking that everybody's against him.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
I said, I said, it's not it's not actually wrestling.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Well, here's the thing. Two things, they jump.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Off large objects. They're stunt men. They're really really talented.
Speaker 5 (08:07):
They're very very talented.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Answer really talented answer stunt men go, they're really really good.
Speaker 7 (08:13):
To answer Dan's question. What's annoying me is I keep
I keep getting interrupted. And two I used to be
a professional wrestler, so I'm a little touchy on the
subject when people are like try to like look down
on it.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
So when you lost as a professional wrestler, were you
mad at the opponent or were you mad at the
guy who wrote the script?
Speaker 7 (08:30):
I was mad if I didn't look good in the ring,
if I made mistakes in the ring. Because these things
are graded, Doug Dougie.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Your your law, your loss is graded.
Speaker 7 (08:41):
The match, putting the match together, how the crowd reacts.
It's graded.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
I don't know if why.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So you loved you loved Russell many or hated it.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Uh, it was good overall. It made me happy. I
loved it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yes, okay, good, good enough? What I what? What I loved.
I'm a huge fan of Mike Conley. I just am
I like Mike Conley. I don't, it's so it's so amazing.
I mean, Dan, you you can relate to this. Remember
go looking back at the Final Four when it was
Roy Hibbert and Georgetown against Ohio State and Greg Odin.
(09:21):
And if you would have at polled one hundred percent
of the people over hey, which one of these guys
on this court in this final four are going to
be playing basketball the best and the longest, Mike Conley
would not have made the top three or five.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
That's true. Jeff Green is still around for Georgetown, hanging around.
But to your point, yes, fully agreed.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Yes, And I'm watching Mike Conley. And then he did
something which I just love, which during the big run
that they made in the second half against the Lakers
in transition, he just stops and shoots the three instead
of driving in there where there's a bunch trees. And
I can guarantee Barkley was throwing up in his mouth
back in studio in Atlanta. But it's actually the right play.
(10:08):
But more than anything, This is just my love for
Mike Conley. I hope he gets to an NBA finals.
Though he wins an NBA championship, I've never heard anybody
say anything bad about the person that is Mike Conley. Plus,
he has that really cool gym at his house. But
I thought I thought the house was back when he
was in Utah. So did he sell that thing? I
don't know if you guys remember back in COVID he
was doing like full games there, he did interviews there
(10:31):
or whatever he like. Literally, well, it doesn't affect me.
I can still go to the gym. Gym's my house.
I don't know. My thing is. I just like Mike Conley.
He's playing great timbers, got the win. I loved it.
Let's get to what we hated from the weekend. Clearly
Ryan hates anybody who questions the validity of the fake
sporter for wrestling not a sport. Hold on Ryan, it's not.
Speaker 5 (10:54):
A conversation with There's no conversation to get this nausea.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
There's no hold on Ryan. No is wrestling a sport?
Speaker 5 (11:03):
Sports entertainment?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Is wrestling a sport?
Speaker 5 (11:06):
I'll explain it to you off air.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Maybe there's no explaybe is professionals.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
That I'm going to give you. Maybe next time I'll
write it in crayon.
Speaker 8 (11:15):
Okay, thanks professional A question, Senator, Senator Senata is era
is professional wrestling in your opinion, a sport?
Speaker 7 (11:29):
That's not the segment we're playing. We're playing love, Love
and Hate, not if wrestling is a prot.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Okay, let's get to you. Just get to Jason Stewart,
Jay Stu, what you hate for the weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
I hate scorekeepers who ruin big moments. Scorekeeper Bill Matthews.
A lot of people knew his name this weekend. And
there's one reason why Max Fried took a no hitter
into the eighth inning, or people thought he took a
no hitter into the eighth inning until it was revealed
that an error three innings prior was turned into a
(12:04):
hit by scorekeeper Bill Matthews. A no hitter was broken
up by the scorekeeper. An unwritten rule in baseball is this,
if you have a fifty to fifty error or hit
in baseball, it can't break up the no hitter, So
it's an error until the no hitter is broken up.
Then you can go back and reverse the error into
(12:26):
a hit. So Bill Matthews violates an unwritten rule. He
pissed Michael Koff. He pretty much pissed everybody off. That's
my generation, because you need to know the unwritten rules.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
I just I don't understand how you can go back.
You and I talked about this. It's like when when
there's something that goes wrong in a basketball game, there
does come a point where you can't go back, you know,
five plays earlier and go like, hey, that was a
shot clock violation. Right, his toe was on the line, right,
his toe was online, So yeah, I ye had not
(13:09):
that A no hitter is the is the world. We've
talked about no hitters. Not liking no hitters in the past,
but the idea that two innings later you're like, oh, hey,
by the way, that was a hit. That's weak sauce,
weak sauce. Uh byer, you said you had two things
you hated.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Yeah, no, I have four. So just from what we've done, So, yeah,
don't put Ryan.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Don't don't say I hate Ryan.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
I don't hate Ryan. I don't like when Ryan and
his wrestling brethren like try to separate uh and try
to make this this I don't know chasm. If you
will between the two sides wider. I also, Dug, don't
like your argument towards Ryan about is wrestling a sport, Like,
(13:50):
I think we can appreciate the extreme athleticism of it,
but anything with a predetermined outcome of a script is
it's it's not competition. And therefore in my in my mind,
it's it's not a sport in that way.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Correct. But again Dan, that's the flaw in the argument, right.
The argument is do they do some things that I
wouldn't want to do? Sure? Yeah, absolutely, but like putting
yourself in harm's way, jumping, you know, off the top
rope onto a table, you know, and finding just the
right way to land without hurting yourself or land on
(14:24):
another human being where you don't hurt yourself like that
is an absolute art. What it is not. It is
not a sport. It is not. It is a predetermined
outcome makes it so it's not a sport, and no
one would for otherwise. And so the idea were like, oh,
this guy's a champion, like he got written into the script.
It's not like anybody can go off script to go
like now I want to be a champion. I'm just
gonna kick everybody's ass. So I don't know what that
(14:48):
does for it.
Speaker 5 (14:48):
And I touched a little up in this on My
Sunday show yesterday with Mike Harmon. But the point that
got me was when Sports Center was revealing the outcomes.
It's like, well, you could just do it once you
got the list from Triple H, right, Like you could
just put it on, put it on the news. But
it's a TV show. It's while we got so mad.
When Darren Ravel revealed the when a Jeopardy streak ended,
he said that it was news because it was aired
(15:11):
in Huntsville, Alabama at ten AM on a day when
nobody had seen that night's episode. And it's like, no,
there's drama to it it. It doesn't belong on Sports Center.
But they are, in my mind, so gifted and to
be able to put on a show for as long
as wrestlers do in the ring, in front of in
front of that crowd. In all the documentaries, I think
that we've seen as Ultimate Warrior just like had no
(15:33):
skills and just would run out of gas, and so
like these other guys that have to carry him, I
think there's a deep appreciation for that, and so I
don't ever want to be put in a group where
I would not appreciate the show. And anytime you could
get seventy thousand people on back to back nights to
show up, whether you're a musician or you're a wrestler
or you're a football team, is I am aokay with it.
(15:58):
I was also just going to say the other hate
that I have is that the Bucks for some reason
are just I don't know why they're in this rivalry
and this tiff with the Pacers, but it's always something
about the Pacers.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
It's it's Terry's Halbert, it is, but it's also Tyr's
Haliburton is from Milwaukee, and all he does is run
his mouth the whole game, and they they you know.
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Yeah, yeah nine to two. Oh absolutely, Tyre's Halliburton Ochcosh North.
I believe, I get it. But this is the team
that won a championship four years ago, and they get
into it like in the in the playing tournament last year.
Obviously Indiana ousted them again, but like enough already, and
then they got in Damian Lillard's having words with Haliburton
(16:43):
again the end of game one, Like just move on.
There should be nothing to you please move on from it.
That's my hate.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Uh I get I get to I get to hold on.
Now I get to give my hate from the weekend,
don't I.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
I do, no doubt we got.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I hate the way the NBA Playoffs are covered. I
just do. I hate that Jeffvan Gundy is not covering
the NBA playoffs and Mark Jackson and Mike Breen. That
was the best broadcasting team that that we had, and
you know, I feel bad for I know Jay Billison
(17:30):
has covered the NBA chase a really really good college
basketball analyst, but the NBA world is different and the
things that are happening and the rotations like he's, it
doesn't make him look his best as opposed to he's
in any conversation of the best in terms of college basketballs.
They're finally losing using Tim Legler. You may be better
(17:52):
off in studio. It's just it's just hard. And then
I just, you know, I get Reggie's done it for
a long time and their other teams. I just I
don't like watching the NBA playoffs when you don't have
Jeff Van Gundy and Mike Breen and Mark Jackson cover together.
That was a great broadcasting team that understood the sport,
(18:13):
worked together well. Awesome play by play, awesome and analysis,
and just enough personality to make it all work together.
So I hate it. I hate it. That's a little
love and hate from the weekend.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
Live Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Let's
catch you ready for the NFL Draft, which is going
to occur about a block and a half from where
I am right now. Matt Castle joins this course. Former
Pro Bowl quarterback play fourteen years in the NFL, most
notably I think with the Patriots, right and the Chiefs,
(18:58):
especially when he replaced Tom Brady when Brady had his
ACL tear, and of course was the starter with the
Chiefs as well. He joins us now on the Doug Gottlief. So,
by the way, I'm not sure if you guys know,
but our guy Bobby Bones goes to podcast with Matt.
It's called Lots to Say. It's part of the NFL
Podcast Network and you can find it on the iHeartMedia
app or wherever you get your podcasts. Matt, how are you.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
I'm doing well, Doug, how are you?
Speaker 1 (19:23):
I'm good. This is an interesting year, right. You have
fewer quarterbacks in the first round. You have fewer underclassmen
in the draft because the college football is paying on
some of them more than NFL rookies are going to make.
What's just like, as a guy who played in the
league covers the league knows it to experience how different
(19:45):
this draft actually is.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
It's an incredibly different draft, and I think it all
starts in the college football game with the nil and
the transfer portal. It's drastically different from where I was
just twenty years ago when I was coming out of
the lead, and so they're making more money at an
earlier age, which I think benefits to the players in
many ways. By the same time, it definitely changes the
(20:08):
outlook of the NFL draft in many ways. And you're
seeing this year in particular. I know you're always at
the mercy of the crop of kids that are coming out,
but this year's draft class, particularly at the quarterback position,
has got a lot of intrigue because people really don't
know what quarterback would you say, is the number one
guy I know can't warn is seen as that guy
(20:28):
in this class. But after that, as you get to
Shador and Jackson Dart and even guys like Dylan Gabriel,
Will Howard, where do they go and where do they
sit in and this draft that's very fascinating.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, it really is. You know, I'll tell you something interesting.
I was talking to actually a general manager yesterday and
he's like, you know, the weirdest part about this is, like,
you used to be able to get background pretty easy
because most of these guys we are at one or
two schools for a couple of years. Now you have
guys that are at three or four schools and they're
(20:59):
not their low enough for you really to dig in
on who they are or what they're about. How much
of like again, I remember when you guys were with
the Patriots, so much was about the type of people
college graduates, right, is what Bill those guys wanted. How
different is it now when people can't do as deep
a background checks as they used to.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think that there's a lot out there on social
media that you can do your background check on. But
at the same time, like you said, you got a
guy like Tyler Schuck who's been to three different schools
over the duration of a five year period, and some
of it was due to injury, some of it was
maybe not the right fit. But at the end of
the day, it's tough for evaluators because you're watching these
kids not grow in the same system, but in a
(21:41):
different system every other year. And how do you get
a true sense of that player unless he really is
able to develop and grow within one particular system. So
it's a little bit more challenging. But at the same time,
there are those things that you evaluate in terms of adaptability,
how quickly he processes, is he able to start into
a new system, which at the same time I believe
(22:03):
benefits the evaluators because they can really truly see how
quick this kid can pick up a particular offense or defense.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
When you know, obviously you were a fascinating story come
out of sc and and not being not being a starter.
How different though, is the game? Right Like? How different
is because we see now there's this push, this rush
to start guys right away, get that clock going, get
as much use out of the young guys as possible.
(22:34):
How different is that game when you're under or behind
center in terms of not just speed, but the dynamic
defenses and exotic blitzes. How different is it from one
level to the next.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
It's much different, And it's a huge jump when you
go from college to the NFL in particular. And the
reason I say that is because now it's your full
time job. You are at the mercy of the time
limits that you have in college.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
So you get.
Speaker 3 (22:58):
A few hours here to watch some film, digest the film,
and then you go out on the practice field. Then
you got to go and head out the class. When
you get to the NFL, it is a full time
job where you're there at six point thirty in the morning,
You're going to meetings all day long. You do a
walk through, you do a practice, you come back in
watch the practice film from that day, and probably get
started on the next situational football day, which is third
(23:21):
down on Thursday, red zone on Friday. So there is
a lot more in terms of learning and that steep
learning curve because of the complexities that you have both
on the offense and defensive side.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Of the ball.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You're always looking for that edge. Because the great coordinators
I've been around, it's always about creating matchups, and that
could change from one week to the next based on
the game plan. And so you do have to be
a student of the game when you're going to play
at the next level.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Are you a shoulder guy?
Speaker 3 (23:49):
I like shad Or. I think I've got a lot
of respect for him. I believe that he is an
accurate thrower. He's won everywhere he's been. He's a guy
that I also believe has some flaws. He doesn't throw
a great deep all, he might not have the strongest arm,
But I will say he is a high level processor,
a guy that was coached on a pro style offense.
So he's got a lot to offer. Now when you
(24:10):
look at this year's draft, I don't believe of him
in that top ten conversation. That's just my own opinion.
I think he has the ability depends to potentially be
a first rounder. However, I do believe you have to
surround him with talent. I'm talking about offensive line wide
receivers because most of his play you'll see it it's
going to be inside the pocket.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
Brock Perdy, we haven't gotten details yet, but everything we
know leads us to believe he's going to be a
sixty million dollar man, and my argument against paying him
sixty million dollars is I'm not trying to get into
his pockets. I don't care. It's not my money. My argument, though,
is that he was surrounded with an all star team,
(24:56):
and when any of those pieces weren't healthy, he didn't
look like new the same quarterback, and I look, most
guys wouldn't. But we have this insayt Shea will need
to like, I don't know, are we right in the
wrong for the past because he was mister irrelevant or
is it keeping up with the Joneses and paying him
top dollar, Like, it's got to be a hard one
for you, having been that guy who overachieved on your
(25:19):
first contracts your second contract, you're like, yo, you got
to make it up to me. But what are your
thoughts on the idea of paying brock Purty in that
top echelon of quarterbacks this offseason?
Speaker 2 (25:30):
Right?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I don't believe that brock perty is probably considered one
of the top five quarterbacks in the league, maybe not
even the top ten. But what he does do is
he consistently wins. And I agree with you. When they
had their personnel go down, he wasn't the same player.
But you could say that about a lot of guys
or off the NFL. And the fact is he's hit
the market at the right time. These guys are getting paid.
(25:52):
And if the forty nine ers want to keep him
and make him their franchise in the face of their
franchise instead of taking a step back and having to
go different direction, then they know what they have. They
know that he is a guy that fits this system.
They've got to surround him with the pieces. But they're
going to have to commit to that. If you're gonna
pay brock Party sixty, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
I think he's a but what but why? But Blake,
I guess here's the question. Okay, why do you Why
is this? Like you have to pay him sixty? Why
you can't pay him forty? Like is somebody else? And
we're not even to the part where he walks right,
that's we're still years away because he could franchise time whatever.
(26:32):
But like, no one's gonna pay him sixty on the
open market if he gets the open market. I don't
understand that. So why not just give him another year
at thirty or forty and go, hey, look, dude, you've
got a chance to be a quarterback here for ten years,
and the less money you take, the more we're going
to surround you with dudes. And the more dudes you have,
(26:53):
the more we win. The more we win, the more
you know ancler your money you're making, then you can
be a Hall of Famer. I just I don't understand this.
Well you have to. Why do you have to?
Speaker 3 (27:04):
I don't think you have to. That's a decision that
you have to make as an organization, and it stopped
starts at the top. Is this a guy that we
see that's going to be our guy for the next
five to ten years. If not, and you have any
trepidation whatsoever about the type of player he could be,
not just this year, but the following year or the
year after that, then absolutely you don't pay him sixty
(27:25):
million dollars, which you might do. Like you said, their
options are to franchise him. Their options are to try
to take make him take a lesser deal, say forty
million dollars a year with guaranteed money for two years,
whatever it might be. But that's up to the player
as well and their representation of sitting there where they're
trying to maximize their earning potential now because he's a
hot name, He's coming up at the right time, and
(27:48):
the powers that be will decide that. Of course, your
representation is always going to push for more money, sure,
and then it's and then the organization is going to
counterbalance that with all the arguments that you just made,
and they meet in the middle. We'll see, again, this
is a contract, whether it's fifty million, whether it's sixty million,
whether it's forty million, this will set him up for life.
So that's a decision that you have to put into
(28:09):
that player's hands and make that decision for his family
and also whether or not he feels good about that.
And then the representation also has to go out and
make sure that what does his value look like on
the open market compared to being at the San Francisco
forty nine ers.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Right now stug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio,
I feel like the trend is going to be trying
to find more bakers, trying to find more Sam Donald's,
trying to find guys who, for whatever reason, you have
very highly touted guys and on their second kind of
tour duty or maybe even third tour of duty. I
mean look at Geno Smith and the research in his career.
(28:49):
Those guys, because they've seen all the live bullets. As
a guy who's been through that, help me out which
is the real Sam Donald? Is it the Sam Donald
up into the last couple of games of the season?
Is is it Sam Donald in Carolina Jets and end
of the season? Like what Sam Donald should the Seattle
Seahawks expect to see on a football field this year?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
I think we're going to find out a lot about
Sam Donald this season because when he went to the Jets,
obviously that's an organization that people and quarterbacks in particular
have gone to die. And then he went down to
Carolina in a difficult situation there, played a little bit
down there. Forty nine ers was a reset year for him.
He's around some really good coaching with Kyle Shanahan, and
then he goes with Kevin O'Connell, who's known to do
(29:34):
a really good job with his quarterbacks, puts them in
a position to be successful. And I'm not taking anything
away from Sam Donald. He played lights out, was an
MVP candidate throughout most of the season. Obviously, those last
two weeks is what has everybody talking deservedly show so,
because if you're that guy, you've got to step up
in the biggest moment. But this year, going to a
new organization, having another opportunity to go out and be
(29:57):
the guy, it'll tell us a lot about the type
of player he is and the type of offense also
will probably dictate his success as well. But I think
he's a talented player. He's been through a lot of adversity.
He's dealt with that well and he's rebounded, and that's
what you want to see, is being able to overcome
some of those difficult circumstances.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
The podcast has called lots to say. It's with Bobby
Bones and our guest Matt Cassle Mack Castle, the former
Pro Bowl quarterback of course to start for the Patriots,
started for the Chiefs and talked at part of his
fourteen years in the league. Okay, so does Bones just
try and talk about Arkansas football? Is that all he
tries to do the whole podcast?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
Bobby loves his Arkansas football, but he loves I think
everything Arkansas. It's so great. He's got memorabilion up all
over the place. But Bobby is such a talented, incredible
posts of the show, and I'm lucky to be with him.
He's so knowledgeable about so many different things. But he
also is funny as all get out, and he brings
pop culture into it. And he's got some big name
(30:54):
friends too, like Beim McGraw came on, We had Luke
Bryant come on. We had a bunch of different PEO people,
So we we have fun with it. We talk a
lot about the NFL. We have some great guests that
come on today. One of my old teammates, Matt White
came on, and we're having a blast doing it and
hopefully everybody's enjoying the show.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah, the Patriot media takeover has begun, right, Yeah, Patriot
media has Hey, can you believe Belichick's guy his girlfriend,
like on the field, of all the of all the guys,
to have his girlfriend who's in her twenties on a
field like Belichick, mister no distractions, do your job guy.
That's I'm sure. I'm sure there's a group textill around
(31:34):
of you guys just tackling.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
There's definitely an evolution of the Bill Belichick that I
grew up around versus uh, the UNC head coach now,
So it'll be fascinating to watch him this year. And
like you said, there's a lot more that goes into it,
and I won't dive into that, but at the same time,
I believe a name like that going back into the
college game and obviously one of the best. It's probably
(31:59):
the best head coach ever coach the game himself is
now back in college. It'll be fascinating to watch that
all unfold this year.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Matt, I look forward to listening to the pod. Thanks
for joining us, but enjoy the draft.
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Listection absolutely have a great one.
Speaker 1 (32:13):

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Dan Byer, what do you got, Doug? We start out
in Dallas where Nico Harrison, the Mavericks general manager, answered
questions from reporters today in a public setting, and a
lot of those questions were about Luca, and then there
was this question, why shouldn't you be fired?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
One?
Speaker 9 (33:29):
I think I've done a really good job here and
I don't think I can be judged by the injuries
this year. You have to judge from totality from beginning
to end, and so I think I have a really
good working relationship with Patrick. I think you had in Rick.
The leadership that we have is really elite and you'll
see next year when our team comes back. We're going
to be competing for a championship.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah. Look, obviously none of the plan had to do
with Kyrie getting hurt or Anthony Davis being hurt most
of the time he's there, And I do actually agree
with him, like or I can. I can understand the sentiment. Hey,
I knew that people like Luca. I had no idea
it would be this much. But I also think there's
(34:13):
just a lack of understanding of he made a trade.
It was a big thing, it shocked people, and then
the key component from his end of the trade wasn't
healthy when they made the trade and never really got healthy.
And his lack of understanding of the optics of how
it looked, as well as understanding of how much the
(34:34):
people of Dallas gravitated towards Luca because he was like
Dirk two point zero. I think that's the party missed up.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
Cooper Flagg is entering the NBA Draft the duke freshman,
consensus Player of the Year and unanimous first team All American,
heading to the drafts after just one year in Durham,
likely the first overall pick in the draft when it
takes place in late June.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Yeah, I'd be surprised if he wasn't the first overall pick.
And remember Cooper Flag is actually the age of a
high school senior. He's eighteen years old. And while you
may say like I was seventeen when I was in
high school, college basketball players by and large are nineteen
turning twenty at youngest. At youngest during their freshman year,
he was seventeen turned eighteen. He was one of the
(35:17):
best players in the college game, if not the best
player in the college game. And obviously most people think
myself included, he's to be a very good problem.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
Fox twenty nine in Philadelphia, I says police in Camden,
New Jersey, have a suspecting custody and have recovered the
vehicle of Eagles wide receiver aj Brown after the car
was reported stolen earlier this morning. He went out looking
for the person too, even took to social media.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
People still stealing cars apparently so so much easier to
track now, like people really.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Council for Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharp says
his client is a victim of black mail from a
woman who has filed a fifty million dollars civil lawsuit
against Sharp in Nevada, claiming sexual assault and rape. Sharp
nine those allegations saying their relationship was consensual.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't know. I know, Shannon,
I like, it's crazy. One day you read he's gonna
get one hundred million dollars deal for his podcast network.
The next day he's being sued for fifty million dollars.
You're like, man, that is life comes at you fast.
Speaker 5 (36:20):
It is Patriots Day, Doug. That means the Red Sox

Sox win today, four to two. Buehler and that is
the press bag. Get out there and pressed.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
That was the press So we're here all week. Try
the Veal will be the Legacy Hotel for the next
