Jared Dudley

Obviously, they've always been a very good hockey program.

But really, those years of football and basketball were special, right? The Craig Smith, the Jared Dudley on the basketball court.

And then really, you know, football, the names are really endless.

You know, Mark Herslick, Matt Ryan, Andre Callender.

I just, I don't know.

The only person I didn't like on that team, which everybody loved, was Jared Dudley.

I couldn't stand Jared Dudley.

I know.

I hate him so much.

Sequence breaks down and it's up to Kavon Looney to patch things up.

It feels like a record scratch moment on both ends of the floor, you know? And so I'm fine keeping Kavon Looney on this roster because it seems like he's a great sort of off the court, Jared Dudley, Maxi Kleba type guy.

leader.

Um, but we definitely need to account for this backup center position because I, we haven't brought his name up, but Sandra Mamu is not a rim protector.

So the Needs Improvement Award, I know Kevon Looney is on this list, but it's really more for the front office.

They need to figure this out.

If you want to keep Kevon Looney, fine, but he should just be literally Jared Dudley off the bench or a break glass in case of emergency.

We need you to set a hard-ass screen on this last possession.

Um, like I just, I, I, I frankly don't understand the signing, you know, given what they're using him for.

Like, I understand if he's like your 15th player and he's your Udonis Haslam or your Jared Dudley, your, those guys who are essentially like assistant coaches on your bench, you know, that, that, that, you know, are operate almost as like liaisons between the coaching staff and the players like that.

Yeah.

Totally fine with him playing that role.

They got old dudes on the end of the bench that don't do anything either in other teams.

Remember Jared Dudley? What was he doing? 877-99 on Fox.

All right, let's keep it moving.

Josh is in Arizona.

And obviously, you know, you have a relationship with the honest and that came out.

really insightful as well but but the purpose of the article and it's called um like uh being alive again which is a great title and it's a direct quote from from yannis about kind of the perception of culture how yannis has adapted to it and what it's like uh i wanted to ask you because you had honestly my i think my favorite line in the story which is a really honest one was you kind of you self-describe yourself as a cynical sports writer having to be convinced or be taught about this this heat culture right this this mythos of culture and i and i want to ask you because we have a lot of players i mean i mean jared dudley famously used to say you know it's real and i don't want any part of it because i just don't want to do that Right.

Other you know, you have other people, other media members and other players being like, oh, it's it's other teams do good stuff, too.

And a lot of this is propaganda.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

That, that was, that was Jared Dudley and them.

Okay.

[laughs] You know what I mean? I ain't know, man.
