Have financial capital financial.com. This is the gold show episode behind Derek Jeter. I watched the first episode I thought was excellent need to watch the second one I believe three and four this week. I would like to keep up with it are not necessarily a big Jeter fan, but I thought the first episode was really well done. So I'm going to check it out all right in wall of sound almost entirely.

This will be comprised of mat rule clips from his press conference today, which was a 1230 training camp begins on Wednesday. I admitted the end of this just an absolutely hilarious mistake made by Cardinals. One of the St. Louis Cardinals TV analysts hilarious mistake, but will get to that in just a couple minutes. First, the wall of sound is a function of this.

There's no doubt jump the gun there and find I need to shut up. It's okay, let's get right to it.

Mat rule tell me in your quarterback room who sitting in the front of the class and who sitting in the back of yet.

I think I think at the end of the football players are the ultimate competitors and I think I think the great ones love competition and so that in fact of the best of the best. Create competition.

Sometimes when it isn't there. So to be my job is not the pit starting quarterback. The players will do that with the way that they play my jobs to make sure that we have really good players in the room which we now know what we do in that room and make sure that they have opportunities and so you little it'll be a fun ride when we know we know I love mental, mineral mean.you do a mat rule impression not I do cry because it because I think there's somebody that also does a really good one will point out the second the first two years you hear my mat rule. Yeah really talk about anything okay the spot here, what with any quarterback and recapped his knee up and went everyone here is professional when he was deeply hard and you know are there starting spot near the die but at the end of the day were to take the tape in nature that the best guys out there. The best and give his best opportunity with the book is what will make sure the unit at the end of a very practical deadly to make sure we could you guys and make sure you guys are where they need to be very good, very good. I don't know that it's as good as Porky pig, but it's very good.

Tell me now that I said that Joe now that I've said that to you. Now you get you beat me to believe it that that's all folks here is that you incorporate a little bit of that Google yeah rule on Donald reacting to the Baker Mayfield trade yet. Sam is Sam's an amazing person. He's an awesome person first ball. He's also a competitor like you know EEGs heat. He's determined to play his best football this year so I pricing nothing but I see nothing but positive things from Sampson's the end of last season to the way he showed up in the spring to what he did in the spring until now. And so you when we let him know you, Micah, Charlotta my conversations with Geico when we let him know that we were we were making this move. He handled it like the ultimate teen guy in the ultimate professional and so I think he's taken very much a helmet to control what I can control and that's the way that I play and so I look forward see them play great football this this this camp is Not the season this camp. I in spite of the fact that they don't have a bona fide top athletes started quarterback Matt rules expectations have not changed lashes to me is over, you know it, like a Kelly golf you know you you you play a black background and you know you said things that you know you feel terrible about your game and also to show the next day to play golf again. You know it's like I have a great round and so I thought we did a lot of things well early in the year and then you know just down the stretch week we did what I didn't get it done. We can get it done. And so that's our job as a results-oriented business and when. And I certainly don't want to be a part of an organization that tolerates no mediocrity and lack of success and so that's gotta start with me so you like that, nobody the other day I I can promise you like my life is about winning and losing, so I don't like losing, so that that affected me as much as anything else this year. I expect to win know I want when I'm there had going on in the season said I hope I can only when this minigame to keep my job at II will I want to I want to win at the highest level just like Christian does just like Shaq does just like everybody in this organization doesn't. That's why you know I woke up today, ready to go excited to go excited to be here and I lie like a rat. I also woke up today, ready to go and excited to be here.

Why did the Baker Mayfield trade takes such a long time like this trade been executed during the draft so it may be others who work with me on this. You make the trade during or before the draft and then you don't trade up to get mat care not yet met Karen Karen I'm just curious. So one of the trade takes alignment yet. Scott and I had that conversation and before you drafted in the draft you know we were we were talking about that just the deal didn't happen and so sort of an ongoing conversation until it until it finally did occur. Other times will look like it wasn't you wasn't going to occur. You know in spring and OTA's that we really came really excited about what Sam was doing and got mad.

I was here excited about Matt so you know there's a time that but wasn't sure if it was going to happen, but when the time came at the end of the day thought Tillich was the right thing for the team and we did it would've been much better had they done it either before or during the draft because not only when you trade up from the fourth round to get into the third round. It cost you an asset down the road so would cost them a future date to pick and that's unfortunate that you did that just to get into the third round when I mean it's a fair chance that corral would've been there in the fourth round. But that's neither here nor there.

Now from Baker Mayfield's perspective, the depth of the quarterback room is what the know not.

This is not Baker this is mat rule on Baker and the quarterback room. Will I always look at my job is to is to put as many good players and coaches in the rooms and then give them the opportunity to to valid out and I really like her quarterback room.

I know I don't know many teams that you know we have Sam, Donald, he's been our starter who had an excellent spring and talking to him the summer.

Sam's had an excellent summer so we have Sam we had in Baker Mayfield you know who who's took Cleveland to the playoffs. One playoff game set the rookie touchdown record to add him.

That's another starting caliber quarterback Matt corral is a young guy that we drafted that we really like and have a lot of hope for. I expect him to come compete.I showed up to the stadium last night and Matt was in there a working outback in Charlotte, getting ready and so that that's another guy in the knob CPG walkers. A guy that you know we've asked him to start fresh twice and twice PJ has has is going out one so not many teams have feel for quality players like that and it's good to be a lot of great competition and to be quite honest with you Nick, I think it'll be really good for team the competition. So if I spend like that correctly. Not many teams are better at quarterback in the Panthers death man. That's what all that – essentially what he said alright done with Matt rules and now a hilarious comment and unintentional hilarious comment, but one that was picked up on by the I guess the host of this particular part of the St. Louis Cardinals broadcast analyst Al robot ski who was a was a fun guy to watch play. You have no idea who the man Hungarian was right man Hungarian would stand behind the mound and psych himself up and then slammed the ball into his glove and then turn around and like charge up on top of the mountain.

He was nuts. A lot of relievers were nuts anyway robot ski confused. Two guys named Ron I can't address that with another member of the anchorman movie. Everyone that's what I was thinking that the who was at the where the cowboy hat Ron Jeremy well well I think that Michael is has an interesting outfit throughout the season right he's always showing up, wearing filling fund Bundaberg.

I mean what you say alleged these Alexa Dragon is the say was heard that the other house. There, she just lost it. I don't blame her. She did, there are people who have no idea why that's funny I'm not even going to fill it in. There are people who don't know why that's funny she called right away like the people who don't know why that's funny yeah are screaming right now so that is that is out the joke is if you have no idea that there was a joke there that's okay. Just understand that there are people who do know that there was a joke there and they are dying. Gus Johnson think in 2014 accidentally did they really yeah I would like to know the context of that someone in the stands had a Ron Burgundy like face of a football okay and then he accidentally said the other Ron okay so it felt like somebody went hard to the hoop in basketball.

Now they did not. Okay that's shouts to Albert Bosket.

It was the other poster. Alexa draft shows through real shouts to Alexa draft for the got almost keeping it together almost keeping it together again.

You may not have laughed and that's fine.

The people who did will remember that forever. Instead, it would not be diluted with the capital financial advisory group.

We are talking retirement coach. Let's say you have more than $1 million balance in my 401(k) revelations.

Thanks very much. How connect actually come back and bite me because in this is the thing that we did we get the Mirage received the Rogers of the desert before you see what's what. Her head was not there when your financial garage is thinking that that total balance in your 401(k) diary is yours.

We have two people that want to get a hold of the two uncles buckled North Carolina and Uncle Sam both ever get to do some damage.

The balance depending on what kind of other income you have lose 40% of value. So if you're looking at a million-dollar IRA that is only worth 6000 you. So how do we get around is what you don't get around it could end up in jail.

If you try to do that, but you can do tax planning to minimize the effect of taxation into the future. The tax train is coming out and we need to make sure to minimize the effect of the derailment of a financial accountant for the next 10 people will do it at no cost or obligation. Put together your very own tax and retirement plan 800-661-7383 or text Adam to 21000B to route starting tomorrow at 230. The breakdown of every other NFL team in some way shape or form what we decide we were to start with.

Tomorrow I will reserve the brown, the brown gaze upon her first opponent and then later in the week will also do the Giants will be the first road upon the Cleveland and then we'll figure out a way to determine who's next and then will do the New Jersey Giants right they play in a work and play in New Jersey so tomorrow breakdown of the Cleveland Browns at 230 and will do that every show between now and the start of the season and we get the start of the season. It will be.

We get to the end of this list will be the start of the season.

It coincides with the initial Thursday night championship game at the beginning of this program. The very first thing we discussed was the not really breaking news. This is really no news. The we all know that Kevin Durant is asked for trade or demanded a trade and we know that there are teams that are interested. Initially we thought Kevin Durant was a formality was good and up in Phoenix.

That's where he wanted to go. They would be interested and the player that would likely have gone back to Brooklyn. DeAndre Aiden the center well.

He was given an offer sheet by the Indiana Pacers and once Phoenix matched that offer sheet. Then he could no longer be moved so the deal that we all thought was gonna happen ends up not even even being able to happen. So Durrant isn't going to Phoenix this Phoenix is giving giving up any other pieces that there would've been more involved in that deal. My understanding was it was good to be eaten and potentially cam Johnson back former Tar Heel cam Johnson back to Brooklyn for Kevin Durant so who are the perspective teams now that are interested in Durrant, the rumor is Miami.

Toronto so suddenly out of nowhere the Boston Celtics are involved and Adrian Warshawsky broke this again not saying it's breaking news because it's not news yet it still rumor Warshawsky talked about this think it was yesterday and even what is so far as to say what the package would be and that Boston turned it down. It was Jaelyn Brown, plus another element and there would be draft picks involved and that's what Boston's offer was in the net said as we bring in Brandon waited, my friend, NBA analyst expertly passed layer all of that at HQ Cosell on Twitter is such an expert so you mean you know more about the MBA than like for people I know if I'm Brooklyn told me that this is wrong. If I am Brooklyn. I say no to the first offer of Jaelyn Brown plus parts because if I'm giving up Durrant and I want Tatum back because I see those as their authoritative is not Durrant but I see those as the same type of player.

It is my role if I Brooklyn that's the guy that needs to be part of the package got it will affect their bites very well aware that you're not getting Tatum dictate like it when Durrant came on as hey he might be available, that all he's untouchable able data produced by a lot of people a lot of you will will carve a list. Why was the rest of the day was a whole very big Tatum is one of those guys in park is just 19, but don't like this. He still was younger Durrant you're going to grace of these recipes be the next three years you get but I don't think the Celtics are willing to mortgage their entire future but honestly if mom Boston everybody outside to go in on me like it ultimately comes down to this. Do you think that Tatum and Brown are going to be great players to so don't didn't don't believe you got to regulators fantastic right now. You don't have any great players of your boss to get some very good players that God humbled like the penultimate step of being a superstar still have no last time you saw team win a championship without a superstar that is a long time ago one or between you have to have a great player right soon let me play devils advocate because you just said that that Brown and Tatum together are not yet individually great players or superstar level players in the great players but not necessarily superstar level players and the proof of that is that there was way too much up and down in both of their games throughout the playoffs. A healthy Kevin Durrant with options around him. You're going to get 3035 every stinking night so if you get three years of Durrant like I love Tatum too. There's a 10 year age gap between Durrant and Tatum. I love Tatum to but if I'm Boston if it gets me Durrant yeah I kind of think about it, but I would I would. I'm not giving you anything else you get you get Tatum we get Durrant and we will and we all move on and that's what colors a lot of the stuff when it comes to direct specifically with the next it was so many of the draft picks to get hard so now not only do they want to be competitive. Right now we also need to rebuild their future asset that combined with paragraph hits the most. We did was trade. I like the hall that you thought was they were just out the hall that they were able to get the bear market route over who is not clearly Granted June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak. Figuring it out on the fly became fifth anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen or even just giving you a cop because right now you get it right now. I live I need align with the problem is one of the problems in the lives of so much for our product. Other problem is that you don't know what's going on with Tyree as their sole home. You guys may move Tyree the second Wednesday they will is on a one year deal right don't know what you're getting for like I don't just run it back if you tell me right now they can't read him his list did all this. I can't wait to start training camp utility box. You tell me that Brooklyn would run it back. They certainly would really really want to move on from direct grant concrete in the building right now right that with you in the look on you know me I'm not a Ben Simmons guy but what Simmons would provide them is an elite defender somebody who didn't need to shoot because he doesn't want to shoot so it would leave more shots for Tyree and Durrant. They though shots would not be being taken by James Harden and some of their other players would also be able to blossom show you got Jill Harris, back off injury right not to mention some of the other guys that we saw. Whether it's cam taught was a cam Thomas birthday summer league right next guy literally just put that look at anything else right nobody right now I can make a case with most eat right now it's hard to break that up with the possibility of some problem is directed after the draft and that really really like July 1 was when it became public work right. We can have your hat you hamstrung them somewhat on top of giving him a short list of teams that you wanted to deal with like the market murder the market doing it this way and only have this many teams.

Mark is going better than it normally would if you were going to unite grant like you know what I need to get out of anywhere. It's you have a much different workplace and when they find out I mean if Tyree is back and I don't know that Tyree is back. He just took the money because he's very unreliable as a person. We all will understand this and last I checked Canada has still not changed any rules right by waving the St. Louis Cardinals just one of the play the Blue Jays for two games. I think today and tomorrow. Without their two best players Nola Nolan Erin auto and Paul Goldschmidt who I don't know. Can't find a CVS or Walgreens anywhere they're not going to play them in Canada but let me move on from from Durrant. I agree. I actually think is a better chance that Durrant Tyree are back in Brooklyn this year than they're not so Donovan Mitchell is the lone remaining layer of any redeeming quality for the Utah Jazz. They gotta move them. The Knicks are interested. But here's what I don't get about from the Nick's perspective and I cake I've always mentioned, as I used to be and expand.

I don't really care there more of a sideshow at this point, but I don't understand why the Knicks are pursuing Mitchell, who would be an upgrade over anybody they've got, but they have so many shooting guard they just signed another shooting guard in Jaelyn Brunson is not a point guard really. He's more of you going to blaze going to be in this latter stuff as much positions now anyway. You got that Money to come up short, but is right, but is a shooter is so he's a shooter, RJ Baratz, a shooter than a surly maker but is a shooter. I like RJ I just making a joke. Evan Fortier is a shooter right so if you're bringing Donovan Mitchell, one of those three has to go. It's not to be Brunson because he just signed right and if I'm Utah, what you're going to give me Barrett out of those three anyway. I mean, Brandon was major. It's funny, I know a good number of X.

Everybody got off the rental train at the same time, even after Brent gave one of the better seasons that Nick's player has given any anybody and is just now like I fell out of favor Randall all they want now.

What I will I will hope to play finishers not meekly they don't really have a point guard like that you can just pay. I would distribute make sure everybody is in the right place all their most advantageous place for that. The Knicks don't have it. I don't understand is that you understand the heart-to-heart crisp Brunson.

I wonder sometimes if being in New York, especially now in Brooklyn as a as he is a crosstown rival for the purposes for the parent they share the same ZIP Code around, but I wonder if that's the pressure of being in New York is too much for the front office to say hey we can just be good like developed players can oppose the list below is 48 was the cable walkers number of birds number right for another, but will we have all of his money to make a big free-agent splash in the big phrase last playwright I don't know these right like you bring in a guy like that were created to guide us Randall or or or RJ so Donovan Mitchell with the backsplash, but the numbers, get tossed around the draft beer ball swaps peaks hey man like between Daubert and Donovan Mitchell have over them and they know where I don't understand is Rusty just did with every single asset like a where both of them have holes in their game understand the whole arm, did you guys are like play or are they going to make you a break if they were to make right now you ask current asset and I still think that their top and that's and that's my point is having this conversation that you were part of the conversation on Twitter today. Our friend cannot Edwards was was part of this is well actually responded to him because I think the Knicks as is, as they are currently constructed. I think the Knicks will compete for the play in turn will compete for 10 and if you compete to me. They finished 11th last year right compete over before the year before last year were six or seven basing but I don't like. I bought look, I think, though, compete for the play in tournament. No, I just say 10 and if you're competing for 10 then you're competing for eight but getting in the top six is a different animal, and I don't think they're good enough to get the top six and I sure as hell don't think they're good enough with Mitchell to get all the way over that bar either. So my point is why, because it really is slightly because it will mean that God is, I think I don't know where it the Louisville right a terrible way to start. You will be.

I think*they like Randall and RJ certainly been Jaelyn Brunson. I mean, you know because you want.

This is a business you want to sell something you want to know get some hype around your garage or your squad, your mate is a little hard to put me like yes and I backup on a good Dallas Mavericks the backup to reserve their heart to like. I think that New York feels that pressure to be a we got New York like whenever whenever New York is a little bit at All yet okay geez, it's always something like that is always sold never told me like they're always over your overselling how much of a destination spot that New York is one of the more interesting people never come to talk about Utah has to be yeah you live is solely it's beautiful to have you gone it's you know it's Jim Daly beautiful. And I believe that and I believe that no one in my life. I would like I have is you and I feel the thought is never crossed my mind. So for certain places have to be.

The draft is planning to sell to Michael Jordan being in the owner of the franchise mean more in terms of labor, Michael Jordan, Jordan wrote with a group that would literally be able if I could not have been more wrong about that same reason that Charlotte I'll be everywhere four years starting the war in Hayward's 20 yeah you gotta pay that tax of I got to bring somebody to a destination that they otherwise would not be best that she was smarter now like to talk about. I totally agree. By the way he is from Westchester, just outside of New York City.

So there you are so big is your work for their purposes. It would absolutely work. Plus, the Knicks training facility is in Westchester, and I think their G league team is also in Westchester.

Not that Donovan Mitchell would be a candidate to plan the G league team at HQ Cosell Brennan weighted my friendly past where NBA expert guru. My friend will talk to you later as well.

You got this is the atom gold shell June 19, 2006, but it all started May 6, 1997 with the announcement that the Hartford whalers were coming to North Carolina transition of heartbreak of figuring it out on the fly became the fifth anniversary of the presented by the Carolina listen
