1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,559 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two on this Friday, Dan and the 3 00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: Dan As Dan Patrick Show Glad to have you on board, 4 00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time in the first hour talking 5 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: about the Washington redskin situation after the Washington Post article 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: dropped yesterday afternoon. We'll check in with Chris Mannix from 7 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated Inside the Bubble. Seems like there are a 8 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,480 Speaker 1: few people agreeing with Chris that the Portland Trailblazers could 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: be a sneaky, dangerous team once the restart happens. No, 10 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: I'm being serious. Mannix may get something right here because 11 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: he said he's got the Blazers and the Sixers in 12 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. So we'll talk to Chris and then 13 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: we'll lighten the mood. Coming up in the final hour, 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: we'll talk to Kevin from the Office. He's Brian bomb Gardner, 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: friend of the show. He's got a podcast, The Oral 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: History of the Office, and he will set the record straight. 17 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Did Jim from the Office wear a hairpiece during one 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: season of The Office? You guys are looking at me 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: like I'm crazy. Jim, I'm told had a hairpiece one 20 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: of the seasons in the office because he was filming 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: a movie. So we'll talk to Kevin about that big accusation. Yeah, 22 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 1: it is well, especially when it comes to hair. But 23 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: I'm very serious about hair and I can tell if 24 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 1: you're painting it and if you have a wig on. 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Kevin from the office. He'll join us. 26 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: Son coming up pole question, McLevin. Did we even settle 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: on one for the first time? Yeah, we did not. Okay, 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: I picked up a back room debate. They were talking 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: NBA off my left handed pole question which nobody cared about. 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: Which left handed guy are you most curious about? Ben Simmons, 31 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: James Hardener's eyeon. Who is the face of the NBA? 32 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: If you take Lebron out Lebron the current goat forget him. 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 1: Is it James Harden Janis or Zion Williamson or maybe 34 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: Steph Curry is at Alter? Is Luca in there too? 35 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't I don't think so, I don't know. Do 36 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: you think Luca is the face of the NBA? No, Durrant, 37 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: I guess the older guys. We're not really putting them 38 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: in this poll. Yeah, Paul, I think Steph Curry was 39 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: one a as the face of the NBA to everybody, 40 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: especially young people, until you know, he got hurt and 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: the Warriors went away. But there was a while there 42 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: where the only people my kids knew were Lebron, James 43 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 1: and Steph Curry. But I also think this was only 44 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: one year without Steph Curry, even less than one year, 45 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: and he'll be back, and the Warriors are going to 46 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: be back, and the Warriors are gonna have the number 47 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: one overall pick. The Warriors are going to be, you know, 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: could be the team to beat next season. So Steph 49 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: Curry would go right back to being one of those faces. 50 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a precipitous drop off though, from Lebron 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: to who is the next face. We don't know much 52 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: about the Greek freak, like his personality seems like a 53 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: pretty quiet guy. I know sixty minut did a profile 54 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 1: on him a while ago, and it basically was this 55 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: is where he came from, came over here, and he 56 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: kind of fits in with Milwaukee as far as the city. 57 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: Trying to think who else James Harden, we don't know 58 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: much about Kawhi Leonard, we don't know much about Yeah McLeman, 59 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 1: but there's something about hardened though that is different. He 60 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: just seems to draw attention. I think the beard if 61 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: he didn't have the beard, so you have the beard 62 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: in the style of play, and the fact that he 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have a conscience. I'm not talking about on the court. 64 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: I don't know about off the court. But I think 65 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: we can all sort of relate to Harden that he's 66 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: a gunner. But then there are other things that we 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: can't relate to Steph Curry. We can relate to anybody 68 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: who's played basketball can relate to Steph Curry. I can't 69 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: relate to Lebron James or the Greek freak Steph Curry. 70 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: I can. You don't have to be able to jump 71 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: out of the gym big, exceptionally athletic quick. He just 72 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: is a great shooter. Now he's more than that. But 73 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: I think it's it's if you're going to be the face, 74 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: it also helps that we look at you and we 75 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: put you on a pedestal, or you're relatable, or we 76 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: like you. You know, Jordan was just different because he 77 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: was a marketing genius with Nike and he became more 78 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 1: than just a basketball player. But when he did play, 79 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: we were still fascinated by what we saw, but you 80 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: throw in everything. There this confluence of everything he was 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: doing on the court and off the court, and there 82 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: was a true fascination. Even though we never knew Michael Jordan, 83 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: and we still don't know Michael Jordan, but it feels 84 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: like we know a little bit more about Lebron and 85 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, Luca. We don't know much about Harden, we 86 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: don't know much about Greek Freak. We don't Kawhi, We 87 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: certainly don't know. So I'd probably say Steph Curry is 88 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: the face of the NBA, even though he's playing right now. 89 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: Zion's pretty close, though, I would say Zion, Yeah, well 90 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: with step If Steph Curry was playing now, would you 91 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: still say Zion? But I just looked at up. He's 92 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: already thirty two. Well if I give him three more years, 93 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: because what he does is not predicated on being a 94 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: great jumper, I mean, it's still he's never gonna lose 95 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: that shot. Never, Like when we go to the final four, 96 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: we shoot around with Reggie Miller. Reggie's fifty and Reggie 97 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: shoots as well, if not better than three fours of 98 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: the NBA. Right now, that shot will never leave him. 99 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: The question is how good will that team be around 100 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: him with him and that'll keep him relevant? Yeah, McClean. No, 101 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: who gets a lot of attention lately is Damian Lillard. 102 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: Not that he's a face of the NBA. He seems 103 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: to have a hot street going personality wise, he's a 104 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: lot of fun and he's not afraid and he plays 105 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: for the Blazers. As we come full circle here, Eric Bledsoe, 106 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: the Bucks just tested positive for COVID nineteen. Here's a 107 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 1: stat that, of course Ethan, our stat guy, gave to me. 108 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: If you include the twenty nineteen twenty twenty season, Eric 109 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: Bledsoe is averaged at least fifteen points in at least 110 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: five assists a game in seven consecutive seasons. Here is 111 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 1: the list of players who have done that average at 112 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: least fifteen and five in seven consecutive seasons. Eric Bledsoe, 113 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: James Harden, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul and Lebron James. 114 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 1: Stat of the day, stat of the day, best stat 115 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: of the day, stat of the day. Here comes that 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 1: what stat of the day. Once again, my thanks to Ethan, 117 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: our stat guy, for providing me with that information. Yes, mcclemen. 118 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: Real useful stat by way tells you a lot about 119 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: Eric Bledsoe's a game. No, the fact that he's in 120 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: that short group there. If I said, hey, what does 121 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Eric Bledsoe have in common with Lebron Chris Paul Russell, Westbrook, 122 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard and James Harden, You'd never know. Seven consecutive 123 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: season at least fifteen and five. That's a problem with 124 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,239 Speaker 1: pure stats. Guys. All as Bucks fans know, the Bledsoe's 125 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: inconsistent shooting's doomed. The literally cost him the playoffs last year. Yeah, 126 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: that he can hurt you, He can help you, and 127 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: he can hurt you. He's playing well this year though 128 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: before before the pandemics um. You know. One of the 129 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: more controversial aspects of the NBA bubble in Orlando is 130 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: the violation hotline. It's the snitch hotline. It's the violation hotline. 131 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: If a player sees somebody breaking and really supposed to 132 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: call it in. A few players have already spoken out 133 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: against it, and reportedly the hotline has been used a 134 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: few times. Dwight Howard said he got busted for not 135 00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: wearing a mask. So it's still early with this snitch line. 136 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: It'd be a lot more important once the playoffs start, 137 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm hearing, I'm hearing Dwight aarn didn't 138 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: have a mask on teams and individuals. Are they going 139 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: to be above using the hot line to get a 140 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: competitive advantage? And we're gonna find out. But if this 141 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: was the NFL, that hot line would be lighting up 142 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: all the time. Teams report on each other all the time, 143 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: you know, the injury report list, They're always doing that. Yeah, 144 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: Now you're gonna find out if that hotline is really 145 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: anonymous too, because if like you have a game coming 146 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: up against the Lakers and you're like, hey, we got 147 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: five reports that Lebron was out last night, you know, 148 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: and it's anonymous, You're going to have no way of 149 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: knowing who's sending that in or do you? But are 150 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: they recording this? Is it just like operators are standing by, 151 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: like the Time Life or when you're ordering Sports Illustrated subscription? 152 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: How might I direct your call? Please? I'm here in 153 00:08:56,240 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: Dwight Howard. He's not wearing a mask. Okay, thank you noted, 154 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: But I'm waiting for the audio to come out of this. 155 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: Somebody's voice is going to be on there are are 156 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: you going to disguise the voice? Oh I'm hearing that 157 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: dwine Hour is nowhere the miss yes, Todd. But they're 158 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: not gonna just take someone's word for it anywhere. If 159 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: you're trying to get somebody in trouble to get an 160 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: advantage and get make somebody miss an upcoming game, I 161 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: would think they'd have to do some kind of investigating 162 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: and if for some reason you're quite false reporting somebody, 163 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: you should get punished. The other way, well, you could 164 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: check security tabes, like if you are out publicly, that's 165 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: when somebody's gonna bust you.

Wise? Yea. Always take a peek, like 268 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: I would say, I go, oh, two bottles of champagne 269 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: or oh oh they didn't finish the wings. Why do 270 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: you need nine ketchups? That's always the worst part is 271 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: when you order some drinks and they're like, okay, do 272 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: you need two glasses for that? Oh? No, just one? 273 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: Oh bottle? Okay by yourself? No? Just one? Oh? What 274 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: a loser. We were wondering about the situation with the 275 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: Washington Redskins and the Washington Post have been working on 276 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: this for two years. But the timing of this, though, 277 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: I find interesting. And if you're FedEx, because what happens 278 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: is you're gonna get somebody's attention, a billionaire's attention when 279 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: it has to do with money. And if you have 280 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 1: a twenty five year partnership and you got what five 281 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: more years of this sponsorship with fed X, if fed 282 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: X wanted an out and to look good, even better 283 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: to say, hey, we bailed on this franchise. Here you 284 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 1: could save money and you could improve your brand, I 285 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: would think, because you're going to get a lot of 286 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: publicity saying we don't want to be involved in this 287 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: toxic culture with the Redskins. But does Daniel Snyder do 288 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: an interview? And I don't think he does, And if 289 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm Daniel Snyder, I wouldn't because unless he has this 290 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: buttoned up of what he can say, he can make 291 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: this worse quickly. And Mark Cuban is used to doing interviews. 292 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: When he had his issues with inside the Mavericks organization, 293 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: he got out in front of it. But he has 294 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: polished at doing interviews. I don't know if Daniel Snyder 295 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: is polished, but and he's out of the country. You know, 296 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: Fritzie did reach out to Daniel Snyder's office and he 297 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: wasn't available. Who said no quicker the Commissioner's office or 298 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder's office. It was very close, let's say the 299 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Washington NFL team. Maybe a little bit quicker, okay, but 300 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: they both got back to us in a very timely fashion, 301 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: even though it wasn't a desired result. A timely fashion. 302 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: I always love a timely fashion when somebody says no, well, Paul, 303 00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: he always loves it when they give it out of 304 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: the country because technology ends once you go out of 305 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: your state. Says nothing, well, Paul will always do this 306 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: when when we're trying to get somebody and we think, okay, 307 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: now's the time this person should be talking, they say 308 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: not available, and then PAULI will go like, not available forever. Oh, 309 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: so we'll call you the next time. This age. Yeah, yeah, 310 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: I do get a little craze. I tell Todd, like, 311 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: tell him we're available twenty four hours a day. Dani 312 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 1: will sit in the studio twenty four hours a day, 313 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: waiting to tape. Now are they unavailable? It sounds like 314 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: I can't send it. He just can't do that. You 315 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: can't do it any time from the history of time, 316 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 1: from now wherever. He'll never be available to take seven 317 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: minutes to talk to that. But really about we'll get 318 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: like a junior college coach his team will score one 319 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty seven points in a football game, and 320 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: like coach can't do it Monday, maybe in a week 321 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: or two. Like we're not going to call a junior 322 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: college in Tulsa again to check on how the league 323 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: is going. Your teath scored one hundred thirty seven points 324 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 1: in a football game. That's why when I have Yeah, 325 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 1: I remember we were trying to get Ricky Fowler on 326 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,000 Speaker 1: because you know, I mean, Ricky Fowler is popular and 327 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: he had a big win, maybe the Players Championship and 328 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: maybe it's his first win, and he was unavailable and 329 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: then Paul He's like, Okay, great, well we'll go. We'll 330 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 1: get to you the next time you have your first 331 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: win on tour. Yeah, I'll say it. Dustin Johnson drives 332 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: me crazy and his people, the golfer, that guy does 333 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: no interviews. He's one of the more popular and not popular. 334 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: He's not a good interview well, I think that's why 335 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't do interview. But we said that about Brooks 336 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 1: Kpka four years ago. He was never doing interviews. We 337 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: tried and tried, and then he became a superstar golfer. 338 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: Now he's getting really good with the media. He's gritting, 339 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: really couples on skin. I like brook Skepko. He's becoming 340 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: a super he's honest, and Dustin Johnson's been really good 341 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: at golf for a long time. But he's not a 342 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: star because he doesn't talk. He's just not polished. That's it. 343 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: He's just not a good interview and I think it 344 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: probably is best that he doesn't do interviews. You know, 345 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: Ricky should do interviews because Ricky's got all these sponsors. 346 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: He seems like he has a great personality, and he's 347 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 1: friends with Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth and they hang 348 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,399 Speaker 1: out together, and you know, that would be somebody that 349 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 1: you he could capitalize even more. But you know, I 350 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,680 Speaker 1: look at Ricky Fowler the way I once did Andre Agassy. 351 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: Andre Agassy to me, it was style over substance for 352 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: quite some time, you know, because remember it was about 353 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:47,880 Speaker 1: his hair and you know, the way he dressed, and 354 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, Nike really presented him in a way that 355 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: this was a complete package. He just had to start 356 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,400 Speaker 1: winning and then he became a really good, great tennis 357 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: player and then it paid off. Like Ricky is in 358 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: that same situation. It feels like he's on the verge 359 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: of something and maybe this is just who he's going 360 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: to be throughout his career, but he is. We try 361 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: to package athletes, and or at least marketing people try 362 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: to package them. And I look at Ricky the way 363 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: I did Andre Agassy, but Agassi became a great Hall 364 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: of Fame tennis player. All right, Well, take a break. 365 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: People are agreeing with Chris Mannox that the Blazers or 366 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: the sneaky team in the West.

It 392 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: was two weeks ago, we had Chris Mannox on and 393 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to know who Chris thought might win all 394 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,399 Speaker 1: of this, the Bubble Championship. And here's Chris Mannix from 395 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: Sports illustrating Blazers Sixers in the final YEP. And then 396 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: we had Chris Haynes, who was on yesterday from TBS. 397 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: Charles Barkley said yesterday, if the Blazers face the Lakers, 398 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: the Blazers will advance. They're all sampling Chris Mannix, who 399 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: joins us now from the Bubble. Now, were you serious 400 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: that the Blazers and Sixers are going to play for 401 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: the championship? Let's just say I was no go with that. 402 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,200 Speaker 1: So you were you were sort of serious about that 403 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: or that was wishful thinking? No, sort of serious, because 404 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: I'm convinced that something crazy is going to happen in 405 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: this postseason. I don't believe it's going to be chalk. 406 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: And if you're looking for like a nineteen ninety nine 407 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: Nick story, it's Portland. I mean, they've got the two 408 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: guards that could win a series by themselves, and I 409 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: mean they're getting use of nerdg and Zach Collins back. 410 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,439 Speaker 1: So if you're looking for kind of a Cinderella tale. 411 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: The only one that fits the narrative is Portland seventy sixers. 412 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: Though you like the seventy sixers and that would be 413 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: a surprise as well, But why the Sixers. I think 414 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: the East is more wide open than people think. I mean, 415 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: I've said this to you before. I believe the three 416 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: point shooting is going to be way down this year, 417 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: and teams that rely heavily on three point shooting are 418 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: not going to be as effective as they were before 419 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: the pandemic. And Milwaukee, you know, Jance is not a 420 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: three point shooter, but everybody else is, you know, with 421 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: that group. So with that overreliance, I think they're a 422 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: little bit more vulnerable. And I look at Philadelphia and 423 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: I love the decision Brent Brown made to move Ben 424 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: Simmons to power forward. I mean, Shake Milton is not 425 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,280 Speaker 1: a household name, but he was playing extremely well with 426 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: Simmons out before the pandemic, and he was shooting fifty 427 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: percent from three in the sixteen games he started this season. 428 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: You move Simmons to power forward. His weakness is a 429 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: three point shooter are taken away. He can still run 430 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 1: the offense. That to me is a terrific post pandemic 431 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: move by Brett Brown. So I think they're in the mix. 432 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: How's the setup in the bubble? You mean like outside 433 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: this door, because I don't know. I mean, when's the 434 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 1: last time you were outside that door? Actually outside the door? Sunday? 435 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean, I take it very seriously. How they don't 436 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: want us to leave doors. So I've been in the 437 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: door frame, but I have not stepped outside the door. 438 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: When can you step outside? I believe it's Sunday night 439 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: or Monday morning whenever the seventh test comes in. You've 440 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: got to have seven consecutive negative tests. I believe I've 441 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: had four up until this point, with another one coming 442 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: this afternoon. So I've just been behind this door and 443 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: it's really I said, this is somebody the other day. 444 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: It looks like my college dorm. I mean it's like 445 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: two unmade beds, bottled water on the floor, food packages everywhere. 446 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: No girls. That's part of the college work series. So 447 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: is what it is you're fitting right in there? I 448 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: like it. I like him. What's your biggest question mark? 449 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: Basketball wise? Once they start playing at the end of 450 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: the month. I mean, it always comes back to the 451 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,480 Speaker 1: Lakers because the Lakers. I'm very curious to see just 452 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: how big an impact the Bradley Rondo losses are, because 453 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 1: you talk to some coaches and they'll say, it's devastating 454 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: Avery Bradley, great on ball defender, Rondo not having a 455 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: great year. But Rondo's that one guy in the backcourt 456 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 1: that Lebron just seems to trust, like he just always 457 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: wants Rondo on the floor because you know, he's got 458 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: that playoff experience and the ball handling and look, playoff 459 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: Rondo is a real thing. There are other coaches that 460 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,719 Speaker 1: are like, come on, the Lakers are Lebron and they 461 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: have the Davis. Everybody else is just kind of, you know, 462 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: a supporting character. Plug a player in there, They're going 463 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: to be just fine. I'm very interested to see, you know, 464 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: how big an impact those two losses have, especially in 465 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: the first round of playoffs, and especially if that first 466 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: round opponent is Portland. I mean, I think Rondo beats 467 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: the sixty eight week time frame to come back. He is. 468 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever covered a player that plays 469 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: through injury and pain as often as Rajon Rondo. But 470 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,960 Speaker 1: if he misses that first round, I think a Portland 471 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: matchup could be just really compelling. We're talking to Chris Mannix, 472 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: a senior NBA writer from Sports Illustrated the snitch line policy. 473 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: Can you use that? Would players or team officials use 474 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 1: it as per a competitive advantage? Yeah? Most of the 475 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: ones I've talked to have just kind of joked about 476 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 1: it and said, you know, yeah, I'm standing up in 477 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: my hotel room with binoculars looking down to see if 478 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 1: somebody is stepping outside the quarantine area. There have been, 479 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: you know reports, I mean, Dwight Howard came out and 480 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: said somebody reported him for not wearing his mask on campus. 481 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: But I don't see I don't see it being employed strategically. 482 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that when the playoffs start, you're going 483 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 1: to have, you know, Terry Stotts of the Blazers calling 484 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: in Anthony Davis reports or are something along those lines. 485 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: I think it's more about, you know, just making sure 486 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: these players are aware that these rules are in place. 487 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we've already seen two guys get dinged pretty 488 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: significantly because of breaking quarantine and the mask wearing I've 489 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 1: been told anyway is the most common call to that 490 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,879 Speaker 1: snitch line. But so Dwight Howard was he at the pool? 491 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: Was that when he was pool side with the DJ 492 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: and he was the only guy there. Did the DJ snitch? 493 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: Do they have a recording? Like everything gets made public, 494 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: like nine one one calls eventually come out. I'm wondering 495 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: if somebody eventually gets the voice recordings of the Snitch hotline. 496 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: That's a great question, and I'll actually ask and I 497 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: haven't asked that question because they go to great lengths 498 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, it's an anonymous line, so 499 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: I would imagine there are not recordings. But man, if 500 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 1: there ever were those ever got out, oh that would 501 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: be great. But maybe it'd be great if Greg Popovich 502 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: was disguising his voice where he you know, he says, hey, 503 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm hearing that Dame Lillard is not wearing his mask. 504 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: I mean Doc Rivers kind of joked about it. He 505 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: said he's calling everybody in. He's just gonna keep stitching 506 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 1: on on every guy out there and see. Well, but 507 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: more often than not, there like the quarantine stuff, the 508 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 1: NBA takes seriously right, like they if you step outside 509 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: the boundaries, they're gonna come down pretty hard on you 510 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: because they've got to protect the integrity of the bubble. 511 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: But the face mask stuff. Unless you do it like 512 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 1: ten times, the NBA's not going to sit you down, 513 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: like they're just gonna keep calling you and warning you 514 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: and reminding you you have to wear your mask. We 515 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: were we brought this up first hour. Let's take Lebron 516 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: out of the equation. Who's the face of the NBA. 517 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I'd probably say it's Yannis, but Yannis certainly 518 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: doesn't have the charisma or that face of the NBA feeling. 519 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, in fact, like if you want to look 520 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 1: at the next space of the NBA, let's assume, let's 521 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: say for argument's sake, Lebron retired tomorrow, you might be 522 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 1: kind of left in that void that was there when 523 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: Jordan retired in the Lay two thousands, you remember, I 524 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: mean that was when Kobe was still pretty young. Tim 525 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 1: Duncan was kind of the face of the league, but 526 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't face of the league. Maybe material Alan Iverson 527 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: was there, but he didn't really embrace that role. I mean, 528 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: there were three or four years, maybe five years before 529 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant kind of ascended into that role. I think 530 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: we might have to wait that long for somebody to 531 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: do it. I mean, maybe it's Zion, but Zion certainly 532 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: isn't there yet, so I don't know who that guy 533 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: would be. At this point, you assume it's Jannis because 534 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: of the MVP, the possible MVP. He's gonna win again, 535 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: but he's not a clear cut name like it is Lebron. 536 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: When Zion comes back, what is the process that he 537 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: has to go through? I mean, this is it's a 538 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: good question because nobody's really being specific with their answers 539 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: when I ask this. Now, there are protocols in place 540 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: right for this type of situation. If you have a 541 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: medical emergency or an excuse absence, which the Pelicans have 542 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: indicated that's what this is. You come back and you 543 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: undergo a four day quarantine. But when I asked the 544 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: NBA what zions return protocols are, they're not giving me 545 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: a direct answer. One thing I keep hearing is that 546 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: the NBA needs to learn more about the specific circumstances 547 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: about why Zion had to leave, which tells me that, 548 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, maybe they're not fully in the loop about, 549 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, why Zion decided to leave. So it's a 550 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 1: minimum of four, but it conceivably could be seven to ten, 551 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: depending on how the NBA rules on it. What I 552 00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: think is really interesting dance that. I mean early in 553 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: the season, t N T and ESPN loaded up on 554 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: Pelicans games. Yeah, and then Zion was out, and you're 555 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: like billing Drew Holliday versus Lebron James. They did it again, 556 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, with this return. So like if Zion winds 557 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: up missing, you know, like the first week of the season, 558 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: it's brandon Ingram and the Pelicans versus. I just think 559 00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: it's kind of it's it's too bad, but it's kind 560 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: of funny for those networks. Ethan, who does a great 561 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: job with our stats, sent me some numbers that back 562 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,479 Speaker 1: up your shake Milton comment last seven games before the 563 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: NBA shut down, just under twenty points fifty eight percent, 564 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: shooting sixty percent from three point range as well. So 565 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 1: once again, Ethan doing a great job in supplying us 566 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: with that stat on what's wrong McLevin. First of all, 567 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm the shake Milton guy. I'm like the world's biggest 568 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 1: shake Milton Fanily, you Ethan came to me, you could 569 00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: have said, hey, by the way, Dan Mannox just mentioned 570 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 1: shake Milton. I'm a big shake Milton fan. Here's some stats, 571 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: but he didn't us gave us as that. Why didn't 572 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: exactly what Ethan did? I went a little Ethan is 573 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: our stats guy. Remember when mcloven used to be our 574 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: stats guy? Mannix. Yeah, we couldn't pick shake Milton out 575 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 1: of a lineup, so let's establish that. Um. If you 576 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: seen the Steph Marbury documentary, I think it's unknown Netflix. Yeah, No, 577 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,240 Speaker 1: I mean I've I've seen the clips for it, but 578 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: it's it's probably on the to do list over the 579 00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: last three days of this bubble. Yeah, but you have 580 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 1: nothing to do. You're in the bubble. You should be 581 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: watching some of these things. You're gonna take a nap 582 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: after you do this interview. That's not necessarily true. I mean, 583 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: I may take a nap today, but I've done some stuff. 584 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,600 Speaker 1: I've been relatively busy. The Marbury thing is interesting because 585 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: at the time, remember Phelippe A. Lopez was the big 586 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: New York City legend and uh then Marbury gets drafted 587 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,240 Speaker 1: by Milwaukee, gets traded to Minnesota for the rights to 588 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: Ray Allen in a first round draft pick, and if 589 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 1: you look back, what could have been with Marbury and 590 00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: Garnett and they were good friends and he wanted to 591 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,880 Speaker 1: play with Kevin Garnett and it just never material Like 592 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: I look at Marbury as what could have been, not 593 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,959 Speaker 1: what was, but what could have been one of the 594 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,080 Speaker 1: great pairings that you just never know. And you look 595 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: at wake Kevin Garnett's career went in the Western Conference. 596 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: I mean, a player of that kind of talent only 597 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: making it to one Western Conference finals. I mean that 598 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,719 Speaker 1: that would not have been the case if Stefan Marbury 599 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: was there as as kind of bonkers as Barbary went 600 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: when he was traded in New Jersey and then Phoenix, 601 00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: then that disastrous end in New York. I mean, he 602 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 1: was a different type of player in Minnesota, like they 603 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: were on the rise out there. I think there's no 604 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,239 Speaker 1: doubt they would have at least made it to the 605 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: finals during that era. And I don't know if Steph, 606 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 1: like I have to see the documentary, I'm not sure 607 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,520 Speaker 1: if he ever really regrets it or says he regrets it. 608 00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: But that's one of the great what ifs. If those 609 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,719 Speaker 1: two guys that never stayed together, would they have been 610 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: able to put together a kind of, you know, successful 611 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: pairing that we saw so many times over but if 612 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,799 Speaker 1: you look at trades the Bucks have made, So the 613 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 1: Bucks get Ray Allen, they traded away Kareem, they traded 614 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: away Dirk Nevitski's rights for tractor trailer. Like, the Bucks 615 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: have been involved in some pretty historical moves down through 616 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: history here. Yeah, that tractor trailer trailer that's so good. 617 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: But maybe I mean this sort of this sort of 618 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: underscores why, you know, I mean, history probably has anything 619 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 1: to do with it. But like, even if Yannish, even 620 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: if they bow out in like the second round of 621 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: these playoffs, they're not trading Yannis this offseason, like it 622 00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: just yeah, unless he tells them flat out no, I'm 623 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: not coming back there. They're not dealing this guy because 624 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,200 Speaker 1: there's just simply no way you can get even close 625 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 1: to measurable value in return. They're rolling the dice on 626 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: Jannis being a part of this team one. But you 627 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,840 Speaker 1: don't think there could be a situation like Anthony Davis 628 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:07,200 Speaker 1: in New Orleans. No, I mean, I guess anything's possible. 629 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't foresee that. I mean there were in the 630 00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:14,239 Speaker 1: years prior to Anthony Davis making that trade demand, there 631 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,799 Speaker 1: were plenty of rumblings about dissatisfaction with what happened there, 632 00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: they made the coaching change. Davis was close to Monty 633 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 1: Williams that year they made the playoffs, so there were 634 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: was a build up to that up until this point. 635 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: You know, there's been nothing but happiness as far as 636 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 1: I've been told with what Jannis feels about how they 637 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: what they've done with that organization have supplied him with 638 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 1: an elite coach that supplied him with the kind of 639 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,720 Speaker 1: roster that you succeed with a player of that caliber. 640 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: So it would be a pretty significant one eighty in 641 00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 1: my mind for jan to turn around and say, you 642 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: know what, I'm done here, It's time to move on. 643 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: But do you think that Jason Kidd can actually sell 644 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: to the potential ownership of the team. Hey, if you 645 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: hire me as a coach, I can bring the Greek freak. 646 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 1: Do you think that that's part of the marketing strategy 647 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:02,040 Speaker 1: of Jason Kidd to become an head coach Again, I 648 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 1: like Jason Kidd. If it is, and if you're an owner, 649 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 1: I've got you know, something to sell you in Brooklyn Like, 650 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,399 Speaker 1: that's that's not going to happen. He's not that influential 651 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: in Jannie's life and Yannist would make a career defining 652 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: decision based on, you know, going back to play for 653 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: a coach that he spent some some decent years with. 654 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: Good luck there, we're praying for you. I mean I 655 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: don't again, Dan, I don't mind the solitude. It's the 656 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: food that's a problem for me. That's becoming troubling. So 657 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: beer and pizza, I mean yeah, Like like I'm the 658 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: world's pickiest eater. I don't eat cheese on anything. I 659 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,600 Speaker 1: don't want mayo on anything. And if somebody puts either 660 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,920 Speaker 1: one of those things on something, I won't eat it overall. 661 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 1: So like this morning, I picked out the bacon from 662 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,080 Speaker 1: the meal, I took the fruit cup and I'm done. 663 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 1: That might be my only meal of the day. Like, 664 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,320 Speaker 1: I just like Solitude's fine. I mean, you know me, 665 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,280 Speaker 1: I don't really like people anyway, So like you put, 666 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: like if you just got me like a pizza delivery, 667 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: I'd I'd be cool here for weeks and vice versa. 668 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,439 Speaker 1: By the way, about you not liking people, just I appreciate.

I was going to asking 672 00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: some boxing stuff. Oscar de la Joy is still looking 673 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: to fight somebody. I got Mike Tyson wanting to fight 674 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,200 Speaker 1: a shark. What the hell is going on with boxing here? 675 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:30,800 Speaker 1: Do you understand this whole Mike Tyson fighting a shark? McLevin, 676 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: do you understand exactly what's going on during Shark Week 677 00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,200 Speaker 1: with Mike Tyson? I don't, but I heard a lot 678 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,319 Speaker 1: of people handicapping that fight, yes, yesterday. Yeah, Polly, don't 679 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 1: you think that Tyson Hollyfield missed their window when there's 680 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: nothing going on about two months ago or there's a 681 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: lot of rumblings that they were going to do a 682 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 1: quick fight. Yeah, they would have made a couple of bucks. Yeah, 683 00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see Tyson in the ring again. 684 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,759 Speaker 1: That window's gone now starting next week? Would I would 685 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:57,399 Speaker 1: think so? But he's fighting a shark. Yeah, not as Sue, 686 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: it's virtual or a robotic or something, right, I would. 687 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: I don't want to watch a virtual fight with a shark. 688 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,880 Speaker 1: And really, Tyson's in your level of expertise in that area, 689 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:14,040 Speaker 1: like you're you're the shark guy. It's Shark Week. It's 690 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,520 Speaker 1: coming up from that is Yes, time, can't we leave 691 00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: the sharks alone with the athletes? The Michael Phelps thing 692 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: was a total disaster. Racing a shark. Now we're gonna 693 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: fight a shark? Or why do we need to get 694 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,359 Speaker 1: a shark involved in our athletic endeavors all of the stuff. 695 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: We'll take a break, Thank you, Todd, and we'll come 696 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 1: back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

Just saw this from Bob Nightingale, 703 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 1: USA Today Baseball Reporter. The Nationals have worked out protocol 704 00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:58,040 Speaker 1: issues with the government. Players who've been exposed to COVID 705 00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:02,040 Speaker 1: nineteen but test negative and cleared to return must quarantine 706 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 1: in their residence for fourteen days when not at the ballpark, 707 00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 1: so they can still play, providing they follow the baseball protocols. Yeah, 708 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 1: I didn't last I read the Yankees Nationals. Their opening 709 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 1: season series was in jeopardy because of the Nationals not 710 00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,040 Speaker 1: being able to play at their home ballpark. But it 711 00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: looks like there's some movement there. According to Bob Nightingale 712 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: from USA Today, Alex Rodriguez and j low Is they 713 00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: are they're engaged. Is that his fiance or is that 714 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,480 Speaker 1: a girlfriend? Not? Why are they getting me Paul, He's like, yeah, 715 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like that's a fiance. I 716 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 1: think with Jayla they definitely partner. They've taken the next 717 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,520 Speaker 1: step there. But Alex Rodriguez came out and said that 718 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: he didn't want to have a salary cap if or 719 00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,960 Speaker 1: he wants to have a salary cap if he if 720 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: he becomes owner of the Mets, then he wants to 721 00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:01,440 Speaker 1: have a salary cap. And I'm guessing knowing Alex Rodriguez, 722 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,279 Speaker 1: this has some transparency. That is basically him saying to 723 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: all these other owners, Hey, you want to take my 724 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,400 Speaker 1: offer because I'm with you here. I'm not a former player. 725 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pro ownership here. We're gonna have a 726 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,359 Speaker 1: salary cap in Major League Baseball. Even though I made 727 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,879 Speaker 1: a lot of money as a baseball player, we didn't 728 00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,040 Speaker 1: have a salary cap. I had artificially inflated stats. But 729 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,160 Speaker 1: now we're gonna have a salary cap. So please approved 730 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: me and my fiance j Low to be the new 731 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: owners of the New York Mets. Yes, Seaton, I have 732 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:40,720 Speaker 1: them as engaged during a romantic beach getaway sometime March 733 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Nice yeah, nice, Yeah, Pauli Dan, if there's 734 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: one wish I could have for the history of the show, 735 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 1: I wish you could have been there when A Rod 736 00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: and J Loo's entourage steamrolled mclove and I more mccloven 737 00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: than I because I was standing with my back against 738 00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:57,440 Speaker 1: this table. Mcloven was two feet away from me. But 739 00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,080 Speaker 1: do you know that this is scarred mclovin. Yes. So 740 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,680 Speaker 1: if I bring up Alex Rodri've never seen him this upset. 741 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 1: You don't like Alex Rodriguez for one reason? No, no, no no, no, 742 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't think I've disliked him a long time. He 743 00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: had a good series against the Phillies in two thousand 744 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: and nine. I've always found him the most hypocritical the hypocrites, 745 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: because he got nailed, said he was clean and then 746 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: got nailed again. Yeah. See that's where if you get 747 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: busted once maybe it's accidental. Maybe you took something and 748 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,000 Speaker 1: he didn't know. The second time, that's when you're out 749 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,960 Speaker 1: of baseball. But you know, hey, baseball has their own 750 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,600 Speaker 1: rules and whatever. But the super Bowl party, yeah, mclovin 751 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 1: got bumped into by a Rod security. So a Rod 752 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: doesn't even know his security people bumped into you. No, no, no, 753 00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: he was lucky down. He was with his son. But 754 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,919 Speaker 1: the thing is the security guard wasn't super intimidating either. 755 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: He's an older gentleman who I might have had a 756 00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: fair chance against, except that he smashed you out of 757 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,120 Speaker 1: the way. To the point that I was having one 758 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: of my small talk media sessions, he pushed me in 759 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,439 Speaker 1: the lower back. Honestly, I was like, wow, I could 760 00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: have had a free swing at this guy because I'm 761 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: he was out like. It wasn't like an intimidating bodyguard type. 762 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 1: It was just some jerky guy. But did you drop 763 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: F bombs? I guess him. No. They they moved on 764 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: way too fast. Yes he did. Nowhere he did a 765 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:15,200 Speaker 1: big WTF with the arms out like let's go. But 766 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 1: they were moving it like like some sort of presidential pace. 767 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 1: It was crazy, like they did what they were doing. 768 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, that's that's why it would You never 769 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 1: would have thought that A Rod had jerks around him 770 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,520 Speaker 1: like that, don't figure. But he actually seems fairly nice 771 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: in the media. Is that sort of like, you know you, 772 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 1: I don't know him, you don't know him, Yeah, I 773 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: mean I saw him at the Emmy Awards a couple 774 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: of years ago, and that was uncomfortable. I mean, we've 775 00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 1: had an uncomfortable relationship since he went to the Rangers. 776 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,360 Speaker 1: When he was with Seattle, I had a very comfortable 777 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,440 Speaker 1: relationship with him, But when he got to the Rangers 778 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: and I did the interview with him when he was 779 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: bad mouthing Derek Jeter and his contract, and then it 780 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:02,480 Speaker 1: went south from there. And then of course we're up 781 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 1: for the Sports Emmy and he's the one announcing it, 782 00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,640 Speaker 1: and we still think that he read off the wrong 783 00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:13,719 Speaker 1: show just so I wouldn't win the Sports Emmy. Sort 784 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,440 Speaker 1: of just kidding A Rod, bring on that salary cap. 785 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: One more hour to go, Only one more hour to go.
