WEBVTT - 03/18/22 DPS Hour 1 Kentucky Upset, Devante Adams 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.400 Sports Radio. Made it to a Friday. It's a meat 0:00:06.519 --> 0:00:11.360 Friday at that In case you're wondering bangers and mash 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.600 Irish soda bread. Who's got it better than we do? 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:22.040 No except for Marvin. Marvin's Yukon Huskies go down in flames. 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.680 He has a pie coming his way. Do you want 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.120 to end your week with a pie? Or start next 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.680 week with a pie? I'm definitely starting next week with 0:00:29.720 --> 0:00:31.480 a pie. Oh I'm having a really good Friday. It's 0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:34.879 nice outside, Okay, I like starting with Monday. Okay, all right? 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.800 Or feels like a good day to maybe a shepherd's 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:41.880 pie to the face right, playing off the whole Saint Patrick, Oh, okay, 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:45.720 just saying, just throwing it out there. Welcome to the program. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.319 Eight seven seven three d P show Email address DP 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:51.000 at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.440 This is where you go to work today. You talk 0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:57.440 to your buddies like, oh, my brackets busted. No, your 0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.000 brackets not busted. You know when it's bust When your 0:01:01.040 --> 0:01:03.520 final two teams playing for the nice Still title game 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:07.320 aren't in one of those two or both, then your 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:11.080 brackets are busted. But I don't know how many people 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.000 pick Saint Peter's to beat Kentucky. If you pick Saint Peter's, 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.759 either you went there or you don't like Kentucky. That's it. 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.039 We'll come up with a poll question today. Stat of 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.400 the day, Play of the day. By the way, this 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.120 is how it sounded. The final call in Westwood One 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.959 as Saint Peter's defeats Kentucky three by Brooks on the way, 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.240 he missed it one second rebound comes to drama and 0:01:35.400 --> 0:01:40.120 that's it. David has stuck Goliath the fifteenth seat at 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.559 Saint Peter's. Peacocks, the tidy school of only twenty six 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:49.880 hundred students has knocked off fighty Kentucky eighty five seventy 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:55.240 nine in overtime. Saint Peter's in Jersey City knocks off Kentucky. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:58.240 And if you watch the game, obviously Kentucky comes in 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.040 with future NBA players, so size wise, Kentucky's going to 0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:04.520 be more physical than Saint Peter's. But you know what, 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:08.360 when it comes to college basketball, you can still outshoot somebody, 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.400 and you can still outcoach somebody. And that's what happened 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.839 last night with Saint Peter's. You get into overtime, then 0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.800 it's anybody's game there. But give credit to Saint Peter's. 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.120 They were the better team last night. And if you're 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:24.560 a Kentucky fan, you really have to look within and go, man, 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.080 it's great. We got a ton of guys in the NBA. 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.880 This is great. We have a great night with the 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.400 NBA Draft. But you start to wonder about the game plan, 0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:38.280 the philosophy, the strategy. Here. I'm bringing in great players 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:41.200 and John Calipari can recruit as well, if not better 0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:44.400 than anybody in the country. But you got one title 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.440 to show for it. So every time coach comes on 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.000 and he tells me that his players have made over 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:54.000 a billion dollars in the NBA, I always think, in 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.560 the back of my mind that makes it stand out 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.560 even more that you haven't been successful in the tournament 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.560 out one title with all of that talent, and nobody 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:08.359 has sent more talent to the NBA than Kentucky has. Yes, 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.440 it feels like Kentucky always has great scorers but no shooters. 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.320 You know, they always have these like super athletic dudes 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.640 who will get you thirty a night or something. But 0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.280 somehow they can't get out of the first round or something. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.840 It's always a disappointment because they don't have a great 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:27.000 shooter and Devin Booker wasn't even a starter for Kentucky. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:31.160 Here is coach Calipari after the loss. I feel bad 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.519 for the guys because, I mean, they're taking it hard. 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.200 They know, you guys asked Kellen a question. It's tough 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.600 for these kids. They know they what they did and 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:42.680 how they did it. But I also say, I'm gonna 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.840 say this again. At eight point lead with three minutes 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.880 to go, let's go, let's win this thing, and a 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.560 couple of errors to make the game close. You know, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.400 they went zone, couldn't get them to throw the ball 0:03:55.440 --> 0:04:00.280 to the middle. Yeah, you know, you don't like to 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.880 say somebody got outcoached. I mean, you know it's I'm 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:07.520 sensitive to it. I've been around these coaches for a 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:14.480 long time. But your players got outplayed? Did you get outcoached? 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.320 It certainly felt that way. You're up eight with three 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.920 to go, and you're Kentucky got to win those games, 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.880 and this is Saint Peter's right, but give them credit. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.000 I thought they were the better team from start to 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:30.000 finish last night. They were more consistent than Kentucky. And 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:33.039 sometimes when you're playing somebody already looking past that team, 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.839 like who do we play after Saint Peter's, And that's 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:39.240 where the coach goes, no, no, no, focus on Saint Peter. Yeah, right, 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.120 we got fifteen seed St. Peter's. Who do we have 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:47.080 like next? And sometimes you're run into an offense. That's 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.320 sort of when we see college teams play Army and 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.560 when we go Oklahoma is struggling to beat Army at 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:59.120 Oklahoma and you're going, well, they didn't have long to 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:05.600 prepare for certain teams, certain philosophy, certain strategies, and it works. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.320 That's why we love March Madness because there are a 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:10.720 lot of teams that you don't normally see and then 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:15.360 you watch them, like Richmond yesterday, you're going, wow, they're 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.920 twelve seed New Mexico State, twelve seed Michigan and eleven 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:24.720 seed That didn't surprise me. Richmond surprised me, and certainly 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:28.159 Saint Peter's did last night. The last time double digit 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:32.960 seeds went four and eight on the first day, so really, 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.000 the last time double digit seeds won four games in 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.840 the first day of the tournament was twenty ten, so 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:42.600 it's been a long time. But there was a lot 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.240 of fun. I mean, that's that's why you watch, because 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:49.159 you're not quite sure. I'm watching Gonzaga. I'm going, come on, Gonzaga, 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.840 what's going on here now? Fritzie sent out a text 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:57.159 and uh, I think it was three? What was it? 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.720 Gonzag up by three? And he goes, oh, you know, 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.599 we should start looking at somebody. Maybe we get Steve 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:06.719 lappas on to talk about the game if Gonzaga loses. 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:08.680 It was only like eighteen forty eight left in the 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.800 second half. Yeah, And I looked at the scorer, said 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.600 Gonzaga is up three, and I go they're gonna win 0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:16.599 by twenty They won by twenty one. So I was 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.880 off a little bit there, but it's fun. So if 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:25.760 you say my bracket's broken busted, you're not alone. And 0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.679 Iowa was another one. It felt like, Wow, Iowa getting 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.160 hot at the right time. That's where you buy into that. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.800 And I always thought, Okay, what are you like to 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.560 get into the tournament? But I like the team that 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.200 really is fighting to get into the tournament. Iowa did 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.479 a wonderful job in the Big Ten tournament and the 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:46.880 Big Ten was the best conference this year. Most teams 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.279 in the tournament three players First Team All American and 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.839 I'm watching Ohio one. I'm going better start playing it 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.159 well here gonna get in trouble. And you're playing on 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.480 a neutral and a lot of these players haven't played 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.560 in the tournament, and like, you can play in a 0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:07.480 conference tournament, but when you play March mad only it's 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:12.240 just so much bigger, more media, and you know, can 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.480 be at a sterile environment. You sort of have your 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.480 fan base traveling with you. It's just odd. And you're 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.000 playing in arenas that maybe you haven't played in before, 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.840 and the background is different, This sound is different travel 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.840 when we get there, when we play, and then you 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.200 get these other teams that are looking ahead. North Carolina 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.200 looked wonderful and North Carolina is a really scary team 0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:40.600 because when I saw them when they beat Duke, everybody 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.720 focused on Duke losing and I went North Carolina looked great. 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:50.480 That's the focus. And North Carolina look good yesterday and 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.400 they blew out Marquette there. But if your brackets are busted, 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.440 you're not alone. We're all in this together. By the way, 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.400 makes you pick up some well, we're calling at Merch 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:04.640 Madness the DP show.

I'm 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.559 gonna go with one, a snarky one from Paul here 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:14.520 Dan team who loses that most pleases me? Can you 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:18.480 love to watch Kentucky lose? Duke the Lakers, Alabama, Tom 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:22.440 Brady other Ooh neither neither. Okay, Tom's not team, but 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:26.000 I figured he'd work himself in there. He's a brand. Yeah. 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.000 I do think when it comes to March Madness, there 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:31.160 are certain teams you can't root for, even though that 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.480 you know they might be better than somebody they're playing, 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.679 but you still go, I can't write down that team's name. 0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.960 I didn't know enough about Saint Peter's. I mean, I'd 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:44.000 like coach Cal but I would say it to him. 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.520 You know, you can't tell me about all these great 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.960 players and they're making billions combined in the NBA, but 0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.280 you have one title to show for it. And in 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.840 today's college basketball world, he is doing what he does 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:01.920 better than anybody else, getting the great players, but you're 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.440 only getting a one and done. And how many times 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:08.199 do we see those teams that have juniors and seniors. 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.000 It is amazing, and it's night and day difference between 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.600 you can have a star freshman, great freshman, or you 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:18.920 can have that guy who was a rung below him, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:25.360 or two who's been there and understands. Remember when Villanova one, 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:29.360 Remember when Virginia one having those guys who had been 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.760 there for a little while. I've played in so many 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:37.040 playground games where you got younger guys who are just unbelievable, 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:39.920 and then you'll see these older guys. You know, a 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.679 guy who shows up in Corduroys, you know, Chuck Taylor's, 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.920 and the dude is just kicking your ass and you're going, 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.240 what the heck? You know, backdoor cuts, boxing out the 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:55.720 whole thing. You know, Yeah, it's Gene Shorts guy. Yeah, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:59.000 he always kicks everybody. Yes, I still go back to 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.320 when I played a game at the Downtown Athletic Club. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.480 This is where they used to hold the Heisman Trophy. 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.280 That building has since been demolished after nine to eleven, 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:08.640 but I remember going in there and I it was 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:14.920 a pickup game. Mike Dunlevy Senior was there, the former coach. 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.600 So people don't know that Mike Dunlevy can shoot as 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:24.280 well as anybody I've seen, Like he was a great 0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.840 deep shooter. But he looks like he's sixty seventy years 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.280 of age, and at the time he was probably in 0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:35.960 his late forties early fifty. Now, nobody wanted to take 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.760 Mike Dunlevy. And I'm like, I say to the guy 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:41.240 who's on my team, I said, take him. He goes 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:45.160 the old dude, I go take him, And so we 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.480 get him and another guy who actually had pants on 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.720 and he actually played at Yale and he was fifty 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.880 years of it. He had slacks on, and I saw 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.280 it's me. It's dun Levy. It's this guy who eventually 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.720 found out it Yale. And we're going against these guys 0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.480 who are just you know, in warmups, just throwing it 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:09.239 down like it's I'm going, holy, this is an aerial display. 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.120 We killed him, And I say we the guy from 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:16.360 Yale and Mike Dunlevy killed them, and you just go 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.640 why how it's understanding the game. It's understanding the moment. 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.920 And that's what happens in March madness. You know, you 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.360 just get the right team, the right matchup, and that 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.720 team looking ahead to see who do we play next? 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:33.040 But you gotta beat St. Peter's who do we play next? 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:37.080 You gotta beat Richmond or in Yukon's case, Marvin's case, 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:42.480 who do we play after New Mexico? Staying nobody? Marvin? 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.800 You guys play nobody? You got the rest of the 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.000 month off? No, no, no, no, they got Intermills. Oh yeah, okay, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.280 we're going back the gamble, all right, inter Merrills. All right, 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:58.400 So which team when they lose pleases me? Mote? They 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.199 said a little, So you got team a little wordy, yeah, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.360 because he can't team whose losses most please me? But 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:08.000 well it's also Tom Brady. Okay, how about losses that 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:12.360 most pleased me? Yeah? Ye in there too. And people 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:17.880 love watching the Yankees. Yeah, that's not a big deal 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.520 anymore when the Yankees live. Yeah, that spent all that money. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.600 Look what you got now you don't nothing. Yeah, boy, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.720 I got a sneaky one that may not make this poll, 0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:29.600 but lately it's spent Pop Clemson and Dabbo Sweeney. People 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.160 really enjoyed him losing last year. I noticed on social Yeah, 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.240 not sure exactly why, but people enjoyed it. Well, you know, 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:39.720 when all of a sudden, you're newt Rockety, Amos, Alonzo Stagg, 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.080 you know, all rolled into what John a Heisman. I'm like, 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:48.679 slow down here, slow down, Yeah, they got humbled all right. 0:13:48.679 --> 0:13:51.200 Age seven seven three d P Show, Emoil Adder stp 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:53.559 a dan Patrick dot Com Twitter handle, a TP show. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.960 We will more more madness in March, the NFL or 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.200 college basketball, because boy, you can make a case it's 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.959 the NFL certainly so far.

Wyoming lost, Colorado State, Boise State, San Diego State, 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.200 all losers in the first round. I mentioned which has 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.800 had more madness, Well, football has had more madness in 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:17.120 March than basketball because we just got started. But two 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:20.880 weeks ago, Russell Wilson was a Sea hunk, Tom Brady 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:24.440 was retired. Aaron Rodgers future in Green Bay was in down. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:27.880 Carson Wentz who was a cult, Davante Adams was a packer, 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.680 Calvin Ridley was still active as a Falcon's wide receiver, 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.000 Khalil Mack was a Bear. Von Miller was a free agent, 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:39.600 Mitchell Trubisky was the Bill's backup quarterback, Deshaun Watson preparing 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.320 for a grand jury, and Troy Aikman and Joe Buck 0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:47.200 worked for Fox. That's eleven days that all of that 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.320 has happened, and the biggest news of the NFL offseason 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:53.920 has been Aaron rodgers decision to stay in Green Bay. 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.840 All right, Now, you could say maybe Tom Brady or 0:15:56.960 --> 0:16:00.480 Russell Wilson getting traded, but all folks, you know, all 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:04.040 the focus was on Aaron Rodgers and you thought, all right, 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:05.640 makes a lot of sense. You want to stay in 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.320 Green Bay. You play an easy division. You got an 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.720 easy schedule this year, and you'll always have Davante Adams, 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.760 all right. The only problem is Green Bay traded Adams 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:18.640 to the Raiders yesterday. That's one of those where I 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.680 wasn't surprised with Russell Wilson getting traded. Wasn't surprised Tom 0:16:22.720 --> 0:16:27.080 Brady came out of retirement, Khalil mack or Von Miller, 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.320 Mitchell Trubisky, Mitchell Trubisky a little bit that he's going 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:34.600 to be a starting quarterback. Deshaun Watson prepping for a 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:38.200 grand jury. You know, there was nothing surprising about that. 0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:42.040 Maybe the fact that there were no charges. You know, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:45.160 they dismissed that case, but he still has the other 0:16:45.560 --> 0:16:48.480 civil lawsuit. And I thought he would have already picked 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:50.080 his team. And I guess it's come down to the 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:52.800 Saints and Falcons. The Browns and Panthers have been told 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.600 that they're not in the running here. But it does 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.400 feel like the Saints are going to be the winner 0:16:58.440 --> 0:17:01.040 here with DeShawn Watson, or they're gonna get him. I 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.120 don't know if that makes them a big winner, but 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.720 I thought the Falcons made more sense. And then I wondered, 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:10.200 could you know there'd be a situation where he does 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.520 go to Atlanta and Matt Ryan is the big winner 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.840 that he gets out of Atlanta and he gets to 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:17.520 go to the Colts and you get to play indoors. 0:17:18.119 --> 0:17:20.160 You get to have a great running attack, You've got 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:23.120 a really good offensive line, and you've got a sneaky 0:17:23.160 --> 0:17:26.120 great defense there, and you got Frank Reich, who's your 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:29.720 head coach. He might want that, and I guess he's 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.320 holding off a roster bonus here. It's only seven and 0:17:33.359 --> 0:17:36.600 a half million dollars. But I think restructuring his deal 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:40.479 may be part of this. But back to Adams. You know, 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:42.960 the Packers receive a first round pick and a second 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.000 round pick in this year's draft and they get to 0:17:45.080 --> 0:17:48.240 Vante Adams. Draft picks aren't going to help Aaron Rodgers 0:17:48.640 --> 0:17:51.879 because Green Bay doesn't use first round draft picks on 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:57.159 wide receivers. I don't know if you can find a 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.399 wide receiver right now, if you're looking around and you go, Okay, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:06.439 Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, Tom Brady is recruiting Julio Jones, 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:13.959 Jarvis Landry a possibility there, But Aaron Rodgers may have 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.200 to get on the recruiting trail. This is what Tom 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.840 Brady does. I mean Tom Brady picking up the phone 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:22.800 trying to get Julio Jones to go to Tampa. Aaron Rodgers. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:24.840 And then there are all these stories that came out. 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:28.880 You know, we have all these insiders. Nobody knew, right, 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:33.600 nobody knew about this zero PAULI even paused before he 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.680 sent it because he thought somebody had hacked Adam Schefter's account. 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:40.240 But you know, I start to look at what's going 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:43.680 on with you know, behind the scenes. I guess this 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:48.840 deal fell apart on Wednesday, that it had been discussed, 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.280 and I you know, from what I'm reading, from what 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.040 is being reported, Aaron Rodgers knew about it, and that 0:18:56.119 --> 0:18:59.040 Davante Adams always wanted to play for the Raiders. Grew up, 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.240 you know, went to Fresno State, played with David Carr, 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.399 Derek Carr. They have a house next to one another, 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.240 and he wanted to be a Raider and he's gonna 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.119 make more money. That's why when people put out you know, 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.480 a tweet or a text right away where it's like, oh, 0:19:17.520 --> 0:19:21.679 congratulations Aaron for taking all the money. That wasn't the 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:25.920 case because the packers reportedly offered Davante Adams more money 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:30.200 than the Raiders did. So you know, everybody wants to 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.199 have a hot take like okay, great. You know he 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.520 had to get all that money. Well, Davante could have 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:39.960 gotten more money by staying with the Packers, but Rogers 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:45.479 reportedly was aware of the trade talks, and so I 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:48.400 don't think he was blindsided by this. But the deal 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.280 was dead on Wednesday, according to Tom Pellicero of the 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:53.840 NFL Network, who would join us coming up next hour, 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.320 But came back to life because anybody could have signed 0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.199 Davante Adams to an offer sheet. If you gave up 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.080 two first round picks, you could get him. Now you 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.359 do have to pay him. And this is a deal 0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.800 that's worth one hundred and forty one million dollars over 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:11.399 five years, and he's going to get an average of 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:17.040 twenty eight point two five million dollars per year. That's 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:19.960 a whole lot of money. Now, I have a lot 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.200 of confidence in the Packers' ability to draft. Well, you're 0:20:24.240 --> 0:20:28.960 on the clock now because I don't know, I don't 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.440 You don't have a number one scantling you're bringing him 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:37.879 back Randall Cobb. But we've seen wide receivers come in 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:40.640 and make a splash right away. A lot of college 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:45.000 you know, wide receiver Jamar Chase comes in, justin Jefferson, 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.159 Stefon Diggs. We've seen these wide receivers come in and 0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:54.040 it's like whoa DK Metcalf? All right, So you know 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.760 that jump can happen immediately if you get the right guy. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.520 And are you going to use that for john draft 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:03.359 pick on a wide receiver? Is there one of those 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:06.480 guys that all of a sudden can go Hey, I 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:09.520 can be what Davante Adams was, or I can be 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:13.159 close to that. Yeah. But a lot of these freegent 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.800 wide receivers about five or six days ago they signed 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:18.320 with Jaguars, with other places. If you knew there's an 0:21:18.320 --> 0:21:20.679 opening in Green Bay and this guy can make you 0:21:20.680 --> 0:21:23.160 an All Pro or Pro bowler like he Didvanta Adams 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:25.719 first three years he was like a B level receiver 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:29.000 and then five straight Pro Bowls. Well, I wondered about 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:34.440 Alan Robinson signing with the Rams was a sneaky great pick. 0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:38.280 I mean that really was. I was sneaky great. Robert 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:40.480 Woods is probably going to be let go by the Rams. 0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:41.920 I don't know what they do with O b J. 0:21:42.680 --> 0:21:45.560 But if you're Green Bay and you knew that you 0:21:45.600 --> 0:21:50.199 were gonna lose Davante Adams, do you back channel to 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:54.480 say to Allen Robinson, hey, before you do anything? And 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:56.919 maybe did. I don't know. Hey, we'll find out from 0:21:56.960 --> 0:22:00.280 Tom Pella sero. But what a crazy week last sleven 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.160 days and this this is what makes the NFL king 0:22:04.520 --> 0:22:08.119 king of content. There all right, we'll get phone calls 0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:11.760 coming up. We still are waiting for Deshaun Watson. That decision. 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:14.520 It felt like it was twenty four to thirty six 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:18.280 hours yesterday. I don't know if it's now. We restart 0:22:18.320 --> 0:22:20.360 the clock today and it's twenty four to the next 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:24.520 thirty six. Baker Mayfield I said at the time when 0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.880 he put out that kind of a white flag, Hey, 0:22:28.119 --> 0:22:31.840 I surrender you guys can move on. You want Deshaun Watson, 0:22:31.880 --> 0:22:34.639 then I'll play elsewhere. And then all of a sudden 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.359 they weren't getting Deshaun Watson. And then there was a 0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:40.960 source saying to Chris Martinson that they wanted an adult 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:46.000 at quarterback. All right, handwritings on the wall, an indelible 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:49.120 ink here for Baker Mayfield. So Baker Mayfield's agent said, 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:51.280 oh no, we don't want to go back, and the 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:55.240 Browns say, no, no, we want you back. Well, I 0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:57.600 don't know what the trade market is for Baker Mayfield. 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:04.720 You know, the Colts Alliance Seattle. I don't know. But 0:23:04.800 --> 0:23:07.960 here's the problem I have. And this is a microcosm 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:12.120 of Baker Mayfield. Okay, it's a tough time, get tough. 0:23:13.560 --> 0:23:15.760 And that's why I was surprised he raised the white flag. 0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:19.000 Just say, hey, you want to bring in Deshaun Watson, okay, 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.439 but until then, I'm your quarterback here and I played 0:23:22.480 --> 0:23:25.080 through pain to to you know, try to get us 0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.399
