to Fox Sports Radio.

0:33

Com is the way tirebine should

0:57

talks at the end of this hour, but

0:59

until it's NFL and NBA.

1:02

Speaking of the.

1:02

NBA, Rob Real barn Burner in

1:05

Indiana, Milwaukee's

1:07

up one oh six to one oh four with

1:10

three forty left down.

1:13

Yep, good game. So that the Milwaukee

1:15

or Indiana just yeh.

1:16

One six with three five to go.

1:18

Yeah, there you go. Definitely this

1:20

is a big turning point here too.

1:22

Yeah, it is.

1:23

It is so if Indiana wins,

1:25

I think they've got big time control of

1:28

this series. I wouldn't feel the

1:30

same thing if Milwaukee wins. It's

1:32

good for him, it's a good win. But Indiana

1:34

could come back and win Game four on

1:37

their home floor. So we will see how this goes.

1:39

But Rob, last night, the

1:42

San Francisco forty nine Ers drafted

1:45

a wide receiver. Rob g give

1:47

us the whole breakdown, because the talk

1:50

is that it could lead to

1:52

them sending either Brandon Ayuk

1:55

or Deebo Samuel out the

1:57

door in a trade.

1:58

So breakdown the situation.

2:00

Sure, so, leading up into the first round of the

2:02

draft, it was reported by multiple outlets on Thursday

2:05

that the forty nine ers were

2:07

looking to package either Brandon Ayuk

2:10

or Deebo Samuel in a trade

2:12

to move open into the top ten. We don't know who they were looking

2:14

to target, but that was what the reports

2:16

were. Obviously that never came

2:18

to be. However,

2:21

that doesn't mean that they're and you're gonna stop shopping

2:23

those two players. According to Mike Silver, currently

2:25

works for the Simi Schogo Chronicle, he's been covering

2:28

Bay Area sports.

2:29

You know, longer than I had been alive and feels like.

2:32

He said that even though neither of those trade

2:34

materialized on Thursday, the

2:36

team is still actively looking to make a move.

2:39

In fact, he tweeted out late on Thursday

2:41

night in the overnight hours that the Niners

2:43

are actually more likely to

2:46

deal Deebo Samuel than

2:48

Brandon Ayuk, and in fact, other outlets

2:50

have since piled onto that report,

2:52

adding that the Buffalo Bills and

2:55

the New England Patriots are two teams that

2:57

are said to have serious interest in

2:59

either of those two receivers.

3:02

Rob, what are your thoughts on that if they move

3:05

Iyuk or Debo? Did

3:07

they drafted Parsol out of Ricky

3:09

Parsaul out of UH

3:12

Florida?

3:13

Then then I'm not sure what

3:15

where are the forty nine is going home?

3:17

Dinner? Maybe a show? I mean, what like,

3:20

why would don't you have.

3:21

A Super Bowl money

3:23

possibility?

3:24

Chris? I know, I mean, I mean that's what

3:27

I just don't understand it. Like you

3:29

you you.

3:30

Just lost right then?

3:32

You just losing the Super Bowl? Or my

3:35

or am I thinking five years ago?

3:37

Like I thought?

3:38

I don't think this Okay, go ahead, I'm

3:40

just I'm just saying I'm not trying

3:42

to get rid of those players

3:45

when I'm not close those kind of players.

3:49

Uh, what's the right word that I want to

3:51

use? Impact players or uh.

3:55

But they're great to get key performers

3:57

for you.

3:57

Yeah, that's all I'm saying

4:00

is they'll tell you could

4:02

swap people in and it doesn't matter or whatever.

4:04

I guess, you know, everybody's replaceable.

4:07

Of doub what you want to use that term. It just seems

4:10

weird to me, that's all.

4:12

Now.

4:12

Look, I get it, and I

4:15

get it because of the economics of the NFL.

4:17

And you saw Buffalo not

4:20

only making moves in the offseason, letting

4:23

a lot a lot of guys walk, but

4:25

even in the draft trading down,

4:27

trading out of the first round because

4:29

they need picks to fill their roster

4:32

or at least, you know, get good players and

4:34

replacements. Dallas,

4:36

we see them, you know, letting

4:39

free agents go and you know, making

4:42

move not now, they're not definitely paying

4:44

Dak, haven't paid CD Micah yet.

4:46

So it's the finances

4:49

in the NFL, and Brandon Ayuk

4:52

wants a huge contract,

4:55

and so it looks like they're

4:57

only gonna be able to keep I mean, at least from

4:59

the scuttle but is that they'll

5:01

only be able to either trade

5:04

Iyuk or you know, or

5:06

sign him and trade Deebo because

5:08

Deebo got paid a few years ago and

5:10

Rob a few years ago. I

5:13

thought Deebo Samuel was the best football

5:15

player. Just a football

5:18

player, yeah, just you know, just I mean,

5:20

there's no measure for that, but just a

5:22

guy that I envisioned. If

5:24

we had them run through a gauntlet of skills

5:28

and he had to tackle, you had to block,

5:30

you had to run, what was your speed? Like,

5:32

can you catch? You know, all of that,

5:35

I think he would have been the best.

5:38

He's what I pictured when I think

5:40

of a football player. But like you said, when

5:43

he got injured, he hasn't

5:45

really been that same player these

5:47

last few years and still gets

5:49

hurt in the Super Bowl,

5:51

right yeah, yeah, So my

5:54

point is, I mean, I you had a much

5:56

better season last year,

5:59

and Deebo obviously see with his versatility,

6:01

he can run the ball, even though he doesn't

6:03

really want to do that as much, but run the ball.

6:05

And he just gives you a lot of options.

6:09

But Rob, if at this point

6:13

I would go with I would if I have

6:15

to trade one of them, I would sign Brandon

6:17

Ayuk and trade

6:20

Deebo Samuel uh And

6:23

And it's not just the production

6:25

dip, it's the injuries.

6:28

I'm worried about his health. He

6:32

just is somewhat injury

6:34

He's not like crazy, but somewhat injury

6:36

prone.

6:37

And I think

6:40

you still would have Ayuk.

6:42

Juwan Jenny's is a really good you

6:44

know, he's not a number one receiver. He played

6:46

great in the Super Bowl, but he's pretty

6:48

good. They drafted

6:50

the kid out of Florida, who is a

6:52

good prospect. Obviously,

6:55

you still have Christian McCaffrey and

6:57

George Kittle. So I rob

6:59

I I don't think this would mean

7:02

by any stretch of the imagination that

7:05

they are not going to be a Super Bowl

7:07

contender.

7:07

Again.

7:09

I think they will. And then

7:11

again, who what will they get? They might

7:13

get, you know, another receiver

7:16

in return or I don't know if it would just be picks

7:18

or what. But I think

7:21

I understanding economics, I

7:24

get the situation there. And remember they're gonna

7:26

assume any plays well next year. They

7:28

might have to give somewhat big money

7:31

to Brock Purty in a year,

7:34

and so I think that's what this is all

7:36

about. But I think they could

7:38

withstand out of the two, I would

7:40

send Debo out the door

7:43

before ayuk.

7:45

Yeah, I hear that plan. I

7:47

just thought that you

7:50

can in

7:52

the NFL, if you want to kick the can

7:54

down the road, figure it out, if you really

7:56

want to and you think you have something brewing

7:59

in you a chance to win when you start

8:01

taking away and I get it and replacing

8:03

Chris, it doesn't mean. It doesn't mean

8:05

that automatically you're

8:08

gonna be the same or you're gonna be out of something. But it

8:11

doesn't also mean you're gonna be better or improved

8:13

just because you make changes. It's it's

8:16

a slippery slope when you're that close. Yeah,

8:19

you know what I mean, Like like like you can look at Buffalo,

8:21

Oh, well you gotta do this and do that. Do

8:23

I really feel the same way about Buffalo anymore?

8:26

I don't know. I don't.

8:27

We're not talking about that top no, no, no,

8:29

But you know what I mean, They've got

8:32

yeah, they've got it.

8:33

Yeah.

8:34

So I'm just saying, if

8:36

I'm the forty nine ers and they start to get rid

8:38

of those key some of the clutch key performers

8:41

that have been a big part of the reason that they've been

8:43

to the Super Bowl twice within the last five

8:45

years. When has it been twice? Ye five

8:47

years? I mean there's a

8:49

changing up the guard. Things are changing and maybe

8:51

that window you start to think that

8:54

window Chris that was open might

8:56

be closing or might be closed.

8:59

They're also, Rob, are a

9:01

lot of great wide receivers out

9:03

there, and not just in this draft. They're

9:05

they're great ride receivers all over. And

9:08

you wonder, Rob, if we know that wide

9:10

receiver outside of quarterback. Wide receiver

9:13

has become the glamour

9:15

offensive position.

9:16

Right.

9:17

It used to be running.

9:18

Back and all the best athletes

9:20

when they're younger played running back

9:22

right And now

9:25

I think, Rob, the best young.

9:27

Athletes are playing receiver right

9:30

because.

9:33

Down and

9:35

so there's a ton of

9:37

great receiver like I think, I don't think

9:39

now I know they're they're not.

9:41

Everybody's not a great receiver, all

9:43

right.

9:43

We saw that with Kansas City, and I like

9:45

what they did in the draft getting Xavier Worthy.

9:49

We saw last year, even though they won the Super

9:51

Bowl, they didn't have really good receivers.

9:54

But they are out there

9:56

and I think they got one in

9:59

this kid for Florida, and

10:01

obviously Ayuk is somewhat

10:04

special and now at

10:06

their height. Rob if I thought Deebo, if

10:08

he was still the guy who was three years

10:10

ago, it's a no brainer.

10:13

I'm keeping debo. But now

10:17

he's played right.

10:18

He plays a physical brand, you know what I mean,

10:20

a football about as physical as you can be for a receiver.

10:23

And we, like we said, he runs the ball some I

10:26

don't know that he's going to, you

10:28

know, get back to that form that

10:31

he had a few years ago. Here's

10:33

the interesting thing too, Buffalo being

10:35

mentioned, or even New England.

10:38

New England has money to burn, so

10:41

I kind of could get them spending it. If

10:43

you're Buffalo and they need a receiver

10:46

for Josh Allen, do

10:48

you pay big money to

10:50

Ayuk or go for Deebo

10:55

or do you just say, look, we

10:58

had to cut down some money. Josh Allen's

11:01

big contract hasn't even kicked

11:03

in yet, so let's

11:05

just go with these some young kids.

11:08

And we got the great quarterback. We

11:11

believed that.

11:11

You know, last year when we made our run, it wasn't

11:14

because of a great receiver like Diggs who

11:16

wasn't doing much.

11:17

And let's just say this, they did draft Chris

11:19

at the top of the second round of receiver from Floorida.

11:21

They right did so, so they

11:24

addressed the need, right, yep.

11:27

But you know what I'm saying, So do you go do you keep

11:29

these young guys or do you I mean, they're just

11:31

starting, Like you said, Rob, they kicked

11:33

the can down the road, right, and now

11:35

they're paying they're having the answer.

11:37

No.

11:37

I know they did because they thought they had a window

11:40

when they were good for five years, Chris, right,

11:42

four years. So so when you do

11:44

that and you have a chance, it

11:47

just makes sense. Right, you're trying to win. You

11:49

are looking to win one.

11:51

Super Bowl, not four.

11:52

Right, I'm not mad at what they did, but

11:54

now now you gotta pay the piper, right,

11:57

and I got that's where you are, right all

11:59

right?

12:00

Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

12:01

You'll turn the way in when you

12:06

trade. If the if the Niners are

12:08

going to trade one of their great receivers

12:11

Brandon Ayuk or Deebo

12:13

Samuel, which one should

12:15

they move and which team

12:18

should go after? Should Buffalo go after one

12:20

of those guys? Your thoughts next, Chris, Rob

thanks to Chris Middleton's

14:00

they have a chance christ to foul him?

14:02

I just I didn't see the three pointer? Yes,

14:05

yeah, So why do they found shows?

14:07

Now? Oh my god? That's best teams.

14:09

You know, there's different philosophies, and some

14:11

teams go with that philosophy.

14:14

But yeah, they didn't foul him.

14:17

So eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, you'll

14:20

turn the way in on the Niners.

14:22

Who should they trade? Are you or Debo?

14:25

Your thoughts?

14:25

All right, let's kick it off with Mike

14:28

in California. You're on the couple of Fox Sports

14:30

Radio. What's up, Mike?

14:33

Okay, yeah, yeah, how y'all doing?

14:34

Man?

14:35

Great? Best radio team on the

14:37

radio. Wow. Listen, thank you,

14:39

Hey listen man. Yeah,

14:41

I think they should trade are you? Because

14:45

I think Debo he can do a little bit more. He

14:47

can run, you know, he can run, kicksback,

14:49

you know, punt return, and he can

14:52

catch the ball. You know, he's more versatile.

14:54

He can do three things, and plus

14:57

he has more experience and this guy's

14:59

you is on. They had one year good year. You gotta

15:01

remember that. It ain't like he's put together

15:03

two or three good years. I think they should go ahead

15:05

and let him go and maybe Buffalo or some

15:08

other club can pick him up. But I would

15:10

keep Debo because forty nine

15:12

ers they still got a chance to go back to the

15:14

Super Bowls. It's not time to break this

15:16

team up yet. They got too many good

15:18

players to give

15:21

up on the forty nine ers. So I think you

15:23

should be the one to leave town. And I think you can take it my

15:25

car.

15:25

Look it makes sense. I mean, Deebo is more

15:28

versatile Rob at his best. My question

15:30

is just will

15:32

he get hurt?

15:33

And that's fair, just that

15:36

the part of giving up Chris, you know what I

15:38

mean.

15:39

I don't think I know they're not gonna

15:41

be right there in the mix, do you? Yeah?

15:44

I mean you you would assume not, but

15:47

you don't know. I think it's gonna be tough.

15:49

I think, Rob, how much will

15:52

the mental strain right

15:54

off? You keep getting there and

15:56

a lot of the players are the same, right

15:59

you keep getting there or getting close

16:01

and falling short.

16:02

That's tough man after a while, no doubt.

16:05

Q in Arizona, you're in the

16:07

odd couple of Fox Sports Radio.

16:08

What's up? Q?

16:10

Hey, what's happening to fellas?

16:11

Man?

16:12

Love y'all? Man?

16:12

Thank you?

16:14

Uh man?

16:15

The forty nine Ers is my

16:17

favorite team. I don't understand.

16:20

First of all, he's a Swiss

16:24

army knife. Yes, Devo, Devo

16:27

is a Swiss army knife. Like,

16:30

Okay, you drafted a

16:32

wide receiver. Why don't you see

16:35

what he gonna do the first year before

16:37

you you know?

16:38

Uh well, this is all

16:41

financial. I'm sure they don't

16:43

want to trade him more.

16:44

Ayuk, No, I get it, I

16:46

get it, but but but I

16:48

just man, we're there, were

16:50

right, there were right there. If

16:53

we we we drafted a wide

16:55

receiver, Let's see what he can do

16:57

the first year. I don't want anybody

16:59

to get hurt, you know what I mean? Deepot

17:01

Sanders is a swift army

17:03

knight. Yep, you know what I mean.

17:06

And this is

17:08

this is one of the reasons why I hate to be a

17:10

sports fan, because you get

17:13

all these great players and injury

17:15

is part of the game. It is. But

17:18

man, you just got to keep digging. Man, and

17:21

I hear you.

17:22

Man.

17:22

Look, Deebo is a great and valuable

17:25

piece. There's no question about it, No,

17:27

no, no doubt. Q. The problem

17:30

is the injury sometimes that's it.

17:32

Yeah, it's part of the game though, you.

17:34

Know, no doubt. Thanks Thanks,

17:36

Q, appreciate it.

17:38

Apartment yep eight seven seven

17:41

ninety nine on Fox if you want

17:43

to jump in, still a chance to jump

17:45

in on this, Chris, Uh, yeah,

17:48

it'll it'll be interesting because I

17:50

don't know what they are they going to get there again, I'm

17:53

talking about the forty nine ers or you

17:55

know.

17:57

The NFC. Look obviously on

17:59

paper for they're right there.

18:01

Like I said to me, one of their

18:03

biggest challenges Rob is

18:05

just going to be mentally, you

18:08

know now, the fact that their quarterback is

18:10

young, he's only been

18:12

to the Super Bowl one, you know, Like I

18:15

think that helps. But there's also

18:18

that Super Bowl hangover that a lot of

18:20

the losers in the.

18:21

Super Bowl have suffered.

18:22

We saw Carolina with Cam Newton, you

18:25

know, they go through some tough times

18:27

after they went to the Super Bowl.

18:30

Last year. We saw Philadelphia

18:32

fall into some type of mysterious funk

18:35

at the end of the season. Remember they started out ten

18:37

and O was, and

18:41

so I think the mental strain

18:43

is gonna be the toughest.

18:44

I think on paper, they

18:47

still have a great team on

18:49

paper, But Rob,

18:51

I mean, I think the NFC is getting better now.

18:53

Dallas I think has taken

18:56

a step back.

18:57

I think, at least at this point,

19:00

I'm not haven't done anything

19:03

right, no except lose guys.

19:05

You know, I think they had a good draft last night

19:08

with the tackle out of the whole draft pretty

19:10

well. They drift offensive lineman really well

19:12

too, So I like you said, they do draft

19:14

well, that's one thing.

19:15

I have to give them credit for it.

19:17

But Rob, Philadelphia I think has gotten

19:19

better, so they're gonna be right

19:21

there. I mean, the NFC North

19:23

now is a monster. Detroit

19:25

and Green Bay we know we're good. And

19:28

Chicago has talent and

19:30

we're gonna talk about Kayleb Williams a little later. But

19:32

I think that's big for you know, they

19:35

got a shot to make the playoffs, and Minnesota's

19:37

got a lot of talent. We just got to see how

19:40

these rookie quarterbacks in Minnesota

19:42

and Chicago do. The South

19:44

is still pretty weak, and

19:47

the West you got the Niners and the

19:49

Rams, so it's still

19:51

not as good as the AFC, but I do think it's gotten

19:53

a little bit better.

19:55

So it's gonna be tougher for the Niners. Mitch

19:57

in New Jersey, you're on the eye couple of Fox sportsuit.

20:00

What's up? Match have

20:03

to just by the way.

20:05

I think depends in the decision.

20:07

Really wow, that would be truth.

20:14

Caleb Rome, But I think that takes

20:16

skip anyway film ahead

20:18

of myself here. I think Debo he's

20:20

going intension to get hurt the

20:22

defense of running back the drafted word receiver.

20:25

If you have to trade and one of them that would trade

20:27

Gebo. They gave up a

20:29

lot of guys and people can whine and this

20:32

his money,

20:34

all right?

20:34

Mayeah?

20:35

I mean they're saying Rob that they're

20:37

not, you know, trading them,

20:39

and so you know, we'll see if that ends up

20:41

being the case. But obviously you just

20:43

can't believe that just because

20:46

they say it. All right, Uh

20:48

Joe l mb rob what a monster

20:51

performed with pauls Chris

20:54

Yeah, and a sore need

20:56

to boot wow.

20:57

But we'll get into that next.

The Indiana Pacers have retaken the lead

21:15

in overtime under fifteen seconds

21:17

left. It's one eighteen one fifteen

21:19

timeout. Milwaukee's about to get the ball.

21:21

This is game three of the first round series. Series

21:24

tied at a game apiece. Pacers led by

21:26

nineteen. Late in the first quarter of this game,

21:29

Jaisan Tenacumpo out again for the

21:31

Bucks with a strained calf, so Chris Middleton

21:33

has thirty nine points. Aaron

21:35

Neismith just hit a three for this lead

21:37

for the Pacers. He had been oh of six from

21:39

long distance in this game until that

21:41

shot. Tyrese Halliburton was sixteen

21:44

assists. The Clippers are in action

21:46

at Dallas. That is underway mid first

21:48

quarter. Clippers up fourteen twelve. That series

21:51

also tied at a game apiece. Minnesota

21:53

leads its first round are two games to none.

21:55

It has the late game at Phoenix after ten

21:57

thirty pm Eastern time. The Nets

21:59

are hiring Juwan Howard as an assistant

22:01

coach for NHL playoff

22:03

games, including the number one Rangers,

22:05

leading again two to one mid second period

22:08

at Washington, trying to go up three games to

22:10

none in that first rounder, and in the

22:13

end of the first period. Now the Canucks have a

22:15

one nothing lead at Nashville. To

22:17

the NFL Draft rounds two and three

22:19

or tonight, we finally had a running back selected

22:22

from the Texas Longhorns. Jonathan

22:24

Brooks goes to the Carolina Panthers.

22:27

We had some wide receivers and defensive

22:29

tackles taken already tonight as well.

22:31

In fact, to start round two, Florida state

22:33

wide out Keon Coleman went to the Buffalo

22:35

Bills. Then the Chargers traded up to

22:37

get Georgia wide receiver Lad mcconkee

22:40

and from the Washington Huskies, wide receiver

22:42

Jalen Polk goes to New England to

22:44

Major League Baseball first inning home run

22:47

for Shoheyo Tani Dodgers, looking for

22:49

a fifth straight win. They're now leading eight nothing

22:51

at Toronto. In the bottom of the fourth

22:54

inning, Max Munsey and Will Smith

22:56

with home runs as well. At Baltimore,

22:58

it's two to one Orioles over the US top of

23:00

the six. The Orioles today sent first rounder

23:02

Jackson holiday back to triple A. He

23:05

was two for thirty six at the plate with

23:07

eighteen strikeouts in the majors.

23:09

This year, really eighteen.

23:10

K's so a recent first rounder and

23:12

clearly not ready ready, even though hitting

23:15

three hundred in the minors. Kansas

23:17

City wins again today. It was one nothing in

23:19

the ninth, eight nothing the final at Detroit.

23:21

Royals record seventeen to ten. Hobby

23:24

Bias of the Tigers, zero for three, he is betting

23:26

one ninety. Cubs are leading for

23:29

to one at Boston in the bottom

23:31

of the fifth inning. Again we've got overtime

23:33

in an NBA playoff game, and

23:36

the Milwaukee Bucks have tied it up. In the final

23:38

seconds of ot it is one eighteen.

23:43

Another three hit it again.

23:45

I was just about to say, they're gonna foul this

23:47

time or what are

23:50

they doing?

23:50

Chris now at

23:53

the regulation was phenomenal.

23:55

A thirty footer where there was almost no space

23:57

and he heaved it up. This was less than

24:00

yeah, So in the final seconds,

24:02

retelling the game at one eighteen, back to.

24:04

You, wow, six

24:06

point seven.

24:07

So that look what scares you

24:09

always is you

24:12

don't you know if you and

24:15

they get the shot off and they hit

24:17

it and then you risk them forget that get

24:19

but you I mean, there's

24:21

gotta be a way you can I mean, I get it a

24:24

risk, but you can foul them, you

24:27

know what I mean, just right before they throw up the ball.

24:30

Right, that's uh, it's

24:33

interesting too. Now I'm not they're not

24:35

going away from Dame. You go to who you has

24:38

been there? Clutch guy?

24:39

You know until yeah?

24:41

Yeah what?

24:42

And he was questionable going

24:44

into the game. There was some thinking he might not play.

24:46

I remember when he was drafted by the Pistons.

24:48

Chris Chris Middleton, Chris with a K.

24:51

Here's a second rounder round

24:53

pick. Yeahous

24:56

ended up having a nice career.

24:57

The injuries deweled.

24:59

Yeah.

24:59

If he if he hadn't been injured, Rob,

25:02

I mean, there's no telling one they might

25:04

have another championship.

25:06

But this is yeah,

25:09

six and a half seconds left.

25:11

Just I'm behind, I'm

25:13

behind, so I'm like two quarters

25:15

behind.

25:16

Yeah, Chris, it's him

25:18

streaming.

25:19

Oh Chris

25:22

during the shower.

25:25

Chris Halliburn.

25:27

How many points?

25:28

He hadn't scored a lot?

25:31

He's a great young player.

25:32

Did carry there, Steve? Was that a carry?

25:34

What was that?

25:35

Man? There?

25:35

Ain't no such thing in

25:37

today's NBA carry

25:41

like crazy. Did you see the one the picture?

25:43

I can't remember who it was who had the was

25:45

it was it?

25:46

He didn't carry cert not

25:49

not by the basketball but behind the line. But

25:51

Luca had the ball on his on

25:53

his uh uh shoulder?

25:56

Chris, did you see that one way? He had the ball pin to

25:58

his shoulder? Am I right? Rob G?

25:59

Right?

26:00

It was a terrible pace.

26:01

It's it's terrible, I

26:04

just say, Rob And who was saying there

26:07

was a player recently talking

26:10

about this, a good, great player from

26:12

the eighties, Rob G.

26:14

Did you see that? Or Chris? Did

26:16

you see that? Because there's a one

26:18

point six seconds left? It was a great play by him,

26:20

so.

26:22

They'll get it at half court though again they got

26:24

time one point six seconds. That's a lot of time

26:26

in the Yeah, it's enough time to get off a

26:28

decent shot. But I

26:30

can't remember the player that was saying it,

26:33

but it was a guard.

26:35

It was a relative.

26:36

I don't remember if he was a Hall of Fame level player,

26:39

but it was definitely a really good player

26:42

from back in the day. And he was talking

26:44

about, you know, we

26:47

couldn't you know, we

26:49

couldn't get away with the carrying that

26:51

they do today. Now you had to

26:53

keep your hand on top of the ball, and

26:58

it's so much more.

26:59

You can do rob with your handle.

27:01

Yeah, when you can, if you could do the ball

27:03

and yeah, all that stuff, that's.

27:05

Why you get the offense everything. Come on,

27:07

it's incredible.

27:09

Yeah.

27:09

Yeah, Rob G was

27:12

just yelling at me in my ear.

27:13

Get t mbid, get to embiid Joe

27:17

l embiid fifty points drop. I said

27:19

it last night. He was

27:22

thirteen for nineteen from the

27:24

floor, nineteen

27:26

for twenty one from the free

27:28

throw line.

27:29

Rop.

27:30

So he took forty shots

27:33

last night.

27:34

I know they that's not how we categorize

27:36

free throws, but I'm just saying forty shots.

27:40

He made thirty two of them. Wow,

27:43

that dude. Look, you know, I jump

27:45

on him. I'd like to see him down low a little

27:48

bit more. But I gotta

27:50

be honest. This dude, I've never

27:52

seen anybody his size shoot

27:56

the mid range jumper. His mid range

27:58

jumper is as good as Kevin Durant.

28:00

Now it's three, isn't. But

28:03

I mean this dude Middleton again, missus

28:06

that one, but his range

28:09

charm to do it three times, So.

28:12

Indian up to one final.

28:16

But Joel mbi Rob, you know,

28:18

people used to say, and I know it's Look, it's a whole

28:21

different type of game now. So

28:23

I'm not taking anything away from the

28:25

great Hall of Famer Patrick

28:27

Ewing. But you know, he was known Rob

28:29

as the greatest shooting big man.

28:31

I've always said that, Patrick. And it's

28:33

funny because in college, Chris, what

28:35

do you average? Thirteen points at Georgetown? Is

28:37

back to the basket. He really wasn't

28:39

an offensive threat.

28:41

Right, I mean he was, you know, yeah,

28:44

he was a defensive force and

28:47

scored in.

28:48

The paint, you know.

28:49

But yeah, with the Nicks, he became a great,

28:51

you know, mid range shooter. But

28:55

mb I mean again,

28:57

I know it's a different.

28:58

Game in today's league.

29:00

Maybe Ewing would have been who knows how

29:02

Ewing would have played today, you know what I mean. I

29:04

know, Shack Rob with

29:06

his ability as a young player, his

29:08

athleticism, his skill, his ball

29:10

handling, he'd have played completely

29:13

different if he were coming up today.

29:14

You know.

29:16

But mbat is the best

29:18

shooting big man. Like he's

29:21

incredible.

29:21

It's not even yeah, it's just incredible.

29:23

And as you said, Robbie's playing with bells

29:26

palsy. Now, that's not necessarily

29:28

a permanent condition.

29:29

That's when when I first heard it, I was like,

29:32

do people get over that? Like, yeah,

29:34

some people don't do that, wonder.

29:36

Well, yeah, I don't know, Rob, g look

29:38

it up because I know some people.

29:42

Yeah.

29:42

We had a guy, a co worker

29:45

of mine right now, I

29:48

won't.

29:48

Say you know who.

29:50

He had it a

29:52

few years ago, and you know what I mean, like, and

29:54

he doesn't have it now. So it's kind

29:57

of one of those and it just hit him, you know, I

29:59

don't know. Yeah,

30:02

so this is not necessarily something that's gonna

30:04

be permanent. But it's like a paralysis

30:06

of one side of your face.

30:08

Rob, do you got the details? What we're sure?

30:10

According to the Male Clinic, Bell's

30:12

palsy is a condition that causes sudden

30:15

weakness and muscles on one side

30:17

of the face. Oftentimes, the

30:19

weakness is short term and improves over

30:21

a period of week, and the weakness

30:24

makes half your face appeared to droop. In the case

30:26

of Joel Embiid, it made

30:28

it so that he could not blink one of his eyes,

30:30

so he had to use eyedrops to keep them moistened,

30:33

and he had to routinely flush his

30:35

mouth with water because half of his mouth was always

30:37

open, again leading to the dryness.

30:40

He's had it like almost all season

30:42

two. Oh I didn't know that.

30:44

Yeah, he got it earlier in the year, and

30:46

he just credit to him. Man, he's

30:48

played through it. He hasn't, you know, obviously

30:51

made a big deal out of it, and

30:54

then he's playing through the knee injury. Rob So And

30:57

you know, we talked about this going into

30:59

the playoffs. Were his playoff

31:02

struggles or at least decline

31:05

due to you know, some type of

31:07

mental block Ali James Harden Or

31:11

was it because he's generally

31:13

banged up and injured and he's injured

31:15

now. So, but I feel

31:18

like Rob, he's proving right now

31:21

that I've thought it was

31:23

kind of been due to him always being injured.

31:26

Like even if he plays, he's seventy five

31:28

percent now. I guess you could argue,

31:30

well, he's seventy five percent now and he's killing,

31:33

which is true, that's fair. But I just

31:36

think he's starting to answer some of those questions.

31:38

Rob. Yeah.

31:39

I mean that was a performance

31:41

for the Ages when they really needed it too.

31:43

Chris right, Yeah, I mean, think about gosh,

31:45

yeah, they needed that one.

31:47

And I'm gonna say this, did you see the play

31:50

where he fell. He was down in

31:52

the paint and he grabbed

31:54

Mitchell Robinson leg

31:56

as Robinson was going up for a shot.

32:00

Not it was a dirty play.

32:02

He was given a flagrant one,

32:04

should have been probably a flagrant two,

32:06

and he should have been ejected rob I'm

32:09

gonna say he probably

32:11

should have because it's a dangerous place. Thankfully Robinson

32:14

wasn't hurt, but I'm

32:17

glad he wasn't robbed. And I don't

32:19

think this came into the thinking of the officials

32:22

or mbead or anybody.

32:26

But they took The

32:28

officials took a game from the Sixers.

32:32

That's all there is to it. I know

32:34

it wasn't the last play of the game when

32:37

they when Maxi got filed twice

32:40

and they didn't nick Nurse, they didn't give him his time

32:42

out he was calling for.

32:44

They they they would have won that game.

32:48

I believe.

32:49

I think it was what a ninety five chance

32:51

we would say they would have won that game had

32:53

the officials made those calls. And

32:56

so I think last

32:59

night was clear they to won the game without

33:01

Indeed, if he's ejected, yeah, so I

33:03

think, you know, I think it kind

33:05

of in the head, but nah, I'm

33:07

sure it was.

33:08

I mean, I don't think it was. Yeah. Yeah,

33:10

And I'm not even saying it should be.

33:12

I don't think when you're making a decision like

33:14

that that you think that way. But

33:17

in hindsight, Rob, I'm

33:19

glad it's worked out this way because now it's

33:21

like, Okay, he got away with

33:23

something that probably should have had him kicked

33:26

out of the game, and they won, and

33:28

so now it's kind of like, Okay, we

33:31

get you know, we're even so to speak.

33:34

Yeah, no, and that's fair. Otherwise,

33:37

uh, because what happened in that

33:39

Madison square go on was bad and even

33:41

the league acknowledged it. You can't foul a guy

33:43

twice, Chris, and he can call it once.

33:46

And then again the time round and in

33:48

Dallas, Rob, I don't know.

33:50

If you're watching Luka Doncic, some

33:52

type of leg injury looks like maybe a knee.

33:56

I don't think it's I'm just see

33:58

him going to the best but he's not going to the

34:00

back though.

34:01

No, it looks like it's just got bumped.

34:03

And you know a lot of times the worst knee

34:05

injuries are non contact, or it's

34:07

not so much you bump somebody. You could bump

34:10

knees and it's a stinger

34:12

or you know what I mean, it's sore or bothers

34:14

you and then you're okay eventually,

34:17

or but it didn't.

34:20

It looks like he fell on the knee. Yeah,

34:23

so I assume it'll be okay.

34:25

But right now he's out of the game.

34:27

It's time, y'all for shop talk.

35:20

That's right, it is shop Talk here on the Odd Couple

35:22

of Fox Sports Radio secment, where we talk about something

35:24

that happened outside of the world of sports. This

35:26

week's topic comes to us from the world of music,

35:30

where Doja Cat, who Rob famously

35:32

had an issue, doing an ad read for her for

35:34

one of our sponsors.

35:36

What Doja Cat?

35:37

Do you?

35:37

Kept saying, Doja Cat, I don't know how to pronounce

35:39

it that you ain't down with Doja Cat.

35:41

No, I'm down with opp but

35:43

not Doja Ca.

35:45

Let me tell you this, Chris, once you hear this story, you

35:47

might be down with Doja Cat. You know, I know you like

35:49

you don't really listen to music. But in

35:51

a series of posts on Twitter, I'm gonna

35:53

call it Twitter. I don't call it X still

35:55

call it the grab everybody.

35:57

We call them tweets. We don't call them exes.

36:00

The grab winning rapper and it

36:02

has nothing to do with social media. Geez

36:04

okay, that could be his own shop talk.

36:07

So Doja Cat admonished

36:09

her own fans. This is what she said in a series

36:11

of tweets, in part I don't

36:13

know what the f you think this is,

36:16

but I don't.

36:17

Make music for children, so leave

36:19

your kids at home. I'm

36:22

rapping about blank, I can't say the word.

36:24

Well, what what does I mean? So

36:27

a few.

36:29

No, she's rapping about

36:31

ejaculation, God, why

36:33

are you bringing your offspring to my show?

36:36

And of course some of her songs are called

36:39

uh, cybersex, bottom Bitch,

36:42

and it goes on and on what you can say

36:44

that, yes you can? You can say wow,

36:46

yes you can. It's the name of a song.

36:48

I don't think I called anyone that.

36:50

I'm almost

36:52

your way manage. And

36:56

she has another song called the Girls.

36:58

But anyways, your thoughts on

37:01

Doja Cat basically

37:03

alienating a portion of her own fan

37:05

base.

37:06

Ron Parker, it's it's

37:09

weird because people because

37:13

I hear what she's saying. As far as

37:17

who are music is intended for?

37:19

But I don't know.

37:20

I mean parents taking

37:23

kids places with them. Maybe that's that

37:25

they can't get a babysitter. The kids

37:27

don't know what you're rapping about. They don't understand

37:30

the language. Do you understand what I'm saying, Chris,

37:33

I don't know if you're damaging the kids if they really

37:35

don't know what's going on.

37:36

So it's weird to tell people not

37:38

to come. I don't think it's weird.

37:40

I like, I applaud

37:43

Dosha Cat. I applaud

37:45

her for her self awareness.

37:48

It's her right to do that if she wants.

37:50

It'd be like if she was a if she was a

37:52

porn star and

37:54

she was like, wait, you

37:57

letting your kids watch this?

38:00

You doing this is for adults.

38:03

It is the same thing.

38:04

There's such a thing as pornographic music,

38:08

and that's what she apparently makes.

38:10

I don't really know her stuff, but she

38:13

admitting it, so I

38:15

know other.

38:16

Well, if that's the case, and I just stop them

38:18

at the door, why don't she have security stop

38:21

anybody wasn't checking for IDs

38:23

and wasn't they.

38:24

That's fine, But I'm just telling you, I think she was

38:26

smart. She was responsible to

38:28

say, don't bring you my

38:31

stuff is for adults.

38:33

What the heck are.

38:34

You thinking bringing I don't know how

38:37

young the kids are bringing you eight year olds

38:39

to hear this? I

38:42

mean it, and I think some

38:44

eight year Yeah, I think some of the kids, especially

38:47

with the proliferation of this type

38:49

of music now, they know a

38:51

lot of times what's going on. They

38:54

might be seeing stuff on their phones now

38:56

at a younger age, and obviously

38:58

a lot of the music is talking about this

39:01

stuff, and so I'm

39:03

not convinced that they don't know, at

39:06

least some of them.

39:07

She's talking about. You got to tell me.

39:09

How old they are, Like, I wouldn't let my kids listen

39:11

to that mess.

39:13

Yeah, that's your right as a parent, and I

39:15

think other people don't look

39:17

at things like that.

39:18

There's such

39:20

a thing as an irresponsible parent, but.

39:22

It's also but it's also to me, a

39:25

lot of stuff goes on in the outside, and

39:27

it's for you as a parent. I don't have any

39:29

kids, but I know how I was raised to

39:32

let us know what is and

39:34

is inappropriate. No matter what I hear on the

39:37

outside, no matter what's out there in society,

39:40

doesn't mean that I'm going to adapt it, Chris,

39:42

just because I heard it or I saw it, I

39:44

was broke. I was raised a certain way and

39:47

that's how I live my life. And I think

39:49

a lot of it does have to do with your parents

39:51

and what is accepted and what isn't accepted.

39:54

That's all I'm saying.

39:55

No, I mean, but you sound like you agree

39:57

with me. I think it's irresponsible

40:00

of a parent. Now, again,

40:02

we don't know exactly the age she's talking about.

40:05

But to bring little kids and

40:08

we see it.

40:09

Sometimes you see it on TikTok and these you

40:11

know social media sites with little.

40:13

Kids twirking and

40:15

doing sexual type.

40:17

Dances and their moms

40:20

or parents are laughing encouraging

40:23

them. I'm sorry,

40:26

that's your right to do it. It's irresponsible,

40:30

it's irresponsible, and

40:33

so I think she's right

40:35

for saying it, and you know, good

40:37

for her for you know, putting that

40:40

ahead of just making money.

40:42

So why does she just cancel the show?

40:44

It's what she saw the kids and said, if

40:46

your kids are here.

40:47

I mean, I don't know, Rob ask

40:49

her, but I'm just saying that.

40:50

Don't That doesn't change the

40:53

fact that she was right for doing it. Maybe

40:55

going forward she won't let those

40:57

types of kids, you know, young kids in her

40:59

shows. I mean, you're right she could go

41:01

ahead and take that step.

41:03

Well, God's full disclosure. Her concerts

41:05

do have age restrictions. You got to be sixteen

41:07

to be at the one in London O two, but if

41:09

you have a parent with you you can get in. And there's another

41:11

one that says younger younger. You

41:14

can have children as young as

41:16

eight years old with adult at

41:18

the Glasgow Concerts.

41:21

Yeah, I mean, come on, man, I

41:23

believe it.

41:24

Yeah, it's like I said, irresponsible

41:27

and we can't be afraid to say some people just

41:30

wrong and don't know what they're doing.
