Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Made it to a Friday. It's a meat
Speaker 1: Friday at that In case you're wondering bangers and mash
Speaker 1: Irish soda bread. Who's got it better than we do?
Speaker 1: No except for Marvin. Marvin's Yukon Huskies go down in flames.
Speaker 1: He has a pie coming his way. Do you want
Speaker 1: to end your week with a pie? Or start next
Speaker 1: week with a pie? I'm definitely starting next week with
Speaker 1: a pie. Oh I'm having a really good Friday. It's
Speaker 1: nice outside, Okay, I like starting with Monday. Okay, all right?
Speaker 1: Or feels like a good day to maybe a shepherd's
Speaker 1: pie to the face right, playing off the whole Saint Patrick, Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: just saying, just throwing it out there. Welcome to the program.
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven three d P show Email address DP
Speaker 1: at dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a DP show.
Speaker 1: This is where you go to work today. You talk
Speaker 1: to your buddies like, oh, my brackets busted. No, your
Speaker 1: brackets not busted. You know when it's bust When your
Speaker 1: final two teams playing for the nice Still title game
Speaker 1: aren't in one of those two or both, then your
Speaker 1: brackets are busted. But I don't know how many people
Speaker 1: pick Saint Peter's to beat Kentucky. If you pick Saint Peter's,
Speaker 1: either you went there or you don't like Kentucky. That's it.
Speaker 1: We'll come up with a poll question today. Stat of
Speaker 1: the day, Play of the day. By the way, this
Speaker 1: is how it sounded. The final call in Westwood One
Speaker 1: as Saint Peter's defeats Kentucky three by Brooks on the way,
Speaker 1: he missed it one second rebound comes to drama and
Speaker 1: that's it. David has stuck Goliath the fifteenth seat at
Speaker 1: Saint Peter's. Peacocks, the tidy school of only twenty six
Speaker 1: hundred students has knocked off fighty Kentucky eighty five seventy
Speaker 1: nine in overtime. Saint Peter's in Jersey City knocks off Kentucky.
Speaker 1: And if you watch the game, obviously Kentucky comes in
Speaker 1: with future NBA players, so size wise, Kentucky's going to
Speaker 1: be more physical than Saint Peter's. But you know what,
Speaker 1: when it comes to college basketball, you can still outshoot somebody,
Speaker 1: and you can still outcoach somebody. And that's what happened
Speaker 1: last night with Saint Peter's. You get into overtime, then
Speaker 1: it's anybody's game there. But give credit to Saint Peter's.
Speaker 1: They were the better team last night. And if you're
Speaker 1: a Kentucky fan, you really have to look within and go, man,
Speaker 1: it's great. We got a ton of guys in the NBA.
Speaker 1: This is great. We have a great night with the
Speaker 1: NBA Draft. But you start to wonder about the game plan,
Speaker 1: the philosophy, the strategy. Here. I'm bringing in great players
Speaker 1: and John Calipari can recruit as well, if not better
Speaker 1: than anybody in the country. But you got one title
Speaker 1: to show for it. So every time coach comes on
Speaker 1: and he tells me that his players have made over
Speaker 1: a billion dollars in the NBA, I always think, in
Speaker 1: the back of my mind that makes it stand out
Speaker 1: even more that you haven't been successful in the tournament
Speaker 1: out one title with all of that talent, and nobody
Speaker 1: has sent more talent to the NBA than Kentucky has. Yes,
Speaker 1: it feels like Kentucky always has great scorers but no shooters.
Speaker 1: You know, they always have these like super athletic dudes
Speaker 1: who will get you thirty a night or something. But
Speaker 1: somehow they can't get out of the first round or something.
Speaker 1: It's always a disappointment because they don't have a great
Speaker 1: shooter and Devin Booker wasn't even a starter for Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Here is coach Calipari after the loss. I feel bad
Speaker 1: for the guys because, I mean, they're taking it hard.
Speaker 1: They know, you guys asked Kellen a question. It's tough
Speaker 1: for these kids. They know they what they did and
Speaker 1: how they did it. But I also say, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this again. At eight point lead with three minutes
Speaker 1: to go, let's go, let's win this thing, and a
Speaker 1: couple of errors to make the game close. You know,
Speaker 1: they went zone, couldn't get them to throw the ball
Speaker 1: to the middle. Yeah, you know, you don't like to
Speaker 1: say somebody got outcoached. I mean, you know it's I'm
Speaker 1: sensitive to it. I've been around these coaches for a
Speaker 1: long time. But your players got outplayed? Did you get outcoached?
Speaker 1: It certainly felt that way. You're up eight with three
Speaker 1: to go, and you're Kentucky got to win those games,
Speaker 1: and this is Saint Peter's right, but give them credit.
Speaker 1: I thought they were the better team from start to
Speaker 1: finish last night. They were more consistent than Kentucky. And
Speaker 1: sometimes when you're playing somebody already looking past that team,
Speaker 1: like who do we play after Saint Peter's, And that's
Speaker 1: where the coach goes, no, no, no, focus on Saint Peter. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: we got fifteen seed St. Peter's. Who do we have
Speaker 1: like next? And sometimes you're run into an offense. That's
Speaker 1: sort of when we see college teams play Army and
Speaker 1: when we go Oklahoma is struggling to beat Army at
Speaker 1: Oklahoma and you're going, well, they didn't have long to
Speaker 1: prepare for certain teams, certain philosophy, certain strategies, and it works.
Speaker 1: That's why we love March Madness because there are a
Speaker 1: lot of teams that you don't normally see and then
Speaker 1: you watch them, like Richmond yesterday, you're going, wow, they're
Speaker 1: twelve seed New Mexico State, twelve seed Michigan and eleven
Speaker 1: seed That didn't surprise me. Richmond surprised me, and certainly
Speaker 1: Saint Peter's did last night. The last time double digit
Speaker 1: seeds went four and eight on the first day, so really,
Speaker 1: the last time double digit seeds won four games in
Speaker 1: the first day of the tournament was twenty ten, so
Speaker 1: it's been a long time. But there was a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. I mean, that's that's why you watch, because
Speaker 1: you're not quite sure. I'm watching Gonzaga. I'm going, come on, Gonzaga,
Speaker 1: what's going on here now? Fritzie sent out a text
Speaker 1: and uh, I think it was three? What was it?
Speaker 1: Gonzag up by three? And he goes, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: we should start looking at somebody. Maybe we get Steve
Speaker 1: lappas on to talk about the game if Gonzaga loses.
Speaker 1: It was only like eighteen forty eight left in the
Speaker 1: second half. Yeah, And I looked at the scorer, said
Speaker 1: Gonzaga is up three, and I go they're gonna win
Speaker 1: by twenty They won by twenty one. So I was
Speaker 1: off a little bit there, but it's fun. So if
Speaker 1: you say my bracket's broken busted, you're not alone. And
Speaker 1: Iowa was another one. It felt like, Wow, Iowa getting
Speaker 1: hot at the right time. That's where you buy into that.
Speaker 1: And I always thought, Okay, what are you like to
Speaker 1: get into the tournament? But I like the team that
Speaker 1: really is fighting to get into the tournament. Iowa did
Speaker 1: a wonderful job in the Big Ten tournament and the
Speaker 1: Big Ten was the best conference this year. Most teams
Speaker 1: in the tournament three players First Team All American and
Speaker 1: I'm watching Ohio one. I'm going better start playing it
Speaker 1: well here gonna get in trouble. And you're playing on
Speaker 1: a neutral and a lot of these players haven't played
Speaker 1: in the tournament, and like, you can play in a
Speaker 1: conference tournament, but when you play March mad only it's
Speaker 1: just so much bigger, more media, and you know, can
Speaker 1: be at a sterile environment. You sort of have your
Speaker 1: fan base traveling with you. It's just odd. And you're
Speaker 1: playing in arenas that maybe you haven't played in before,
Speaker 1: and the background is different, This sound is different travel
Speaker 1: when we get there, when we play, and then you
Speaker 1: get these other teams that are looking ahead. North Carolina
Speaker 1: looked wonderful and North Carolina is a really scary team
Speaker 1: because when I saw them when they beat Duke, everybody
Speaker 1: focused on Duke losing and I went North Carolina looked great.
Speaker 1: That's the focus. And North Carolina look good yesterday and
Speaker 1: they blew out Marquette there. But if your brackets are busted,
Speaker 1: you're not alone. We're all in this together. By the way,
Speaker 1: makes you pick up some well, we're calling at Merch
Speaker 1: Madness the DP show. We have, Well, Fritzie has one
Speaker 1: of the March Madness T shirts. On today we have
Speaker 1: the Pie Slam a Jamma. Does Marvin get a Pie

Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio lineup. You could watch on Peacock all
Speaker 1: three hours. You've got to download the app you can
Speaker 1: watch for free. Say good morning to our radio affiliates,
Speaker 1: Play of the day, stat of the day, and our
Speaker 1: poll question seton what are we sitting on today? I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with one, a snarky one from Paul here
Speaker 1: Dan team who loses that most pleases me? Can you
Speaker 1: love to watch Kentucky lose? Duke the Lakers, Alabama, Tom
Speaker 1: Brady other Ooh neither neither. Okay, Tom's not team, but
Speaker 1: I figured he'd work himself in there. He's a brand. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I do think when it comes to March Madness, there
Speaker 1: are certain teams you can't root for, even though that
Speaker 1: you know they might be better than somebody they're playing,
Speaker 1: but you still go, I can't write down that team's name.
Speaker 1: I didn't know enough about Saint Peter's. I mean, I'd
Speaker 1: like coach Cal but I would say it to him.
Speaker 1: You know, you can't tell me about all these great
Speaker 1: players and they're making billions combined in the NBA, but
Speaker 1: you have one title to show for it. And in
Speaker 1: today's college basketball world, he is doing what he does
Speaker 1: better than anybody else, getting the great players, but you're
Speaker 1: only getting a one and done. And how many times
Speaker 1: do we see those teams that have juniors and seniors.
Speaker 1: It is amazing, and it's night and day difference between
Speaker 1: you can have a star freshman, great freshman, or you
Speaker 1: can have that guy who was a rung below him,
Speaker 1: or two who's been there and understands. Remember when Villanova one,
Speaker 1: Remember when Virginia one having those guys who had been
Speaker 1: there for a little while. I've played in so many
Speaker 1: playground games where you got younger guys who are just unbelievable,
Speaker 1: and then you'll see these older guys. You know, a
Speaker 1: guy who shows up in Corduroys, you know, Chuck Taylor's,
Speaker 1: and the dude is just kicking your ass and you're going,
Speaker 1: what the heck? You know, backdoor cuts, boxing out the
Speaker 1: whole thing. You know, Yeah, it's Gene Shorts guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he always kicks everybody. Yes, I still go back to
Speaker 1: when I played a game at the Downtown Athletic Club.
Speaker 1: This is where they used to hold the Heisman Trophy.
Speaker 1: That building has since been demolished after nine to eleven,
Speaker 1: but I remember going in there and I it was
Speaker 1: a pickup game. Mike Dunlevy Senior was there, the former coach.
Speaker 1: So people don't know that Mike Dunlevy can shoot as
Speaker 1: well as anybody I've seen, Like he was a great
Speaker 1: deep shooter. But he looks like he's sixty seventy years
Speaker 1: of age, and at the time he was probably in
Speaker 1: his late forties early fifty. Now, nobody wanted to take
Speaker 1: Mike Dunlevy. And I'm like, I say to the guy
Speaker 1: who's on my team, I said, take him. He goes
Speaker 1: the old dude, I go take him, And so we
Speaker 1: get him and another guy who actually had pants on
Speaker 1: and he actually played at Yale and he was fifty
Speaker 1: years of it. He had slacks on, and I saw
Speaker 1: it's me. It's dun Levy. It's this guy who eventually
Speaker 1: found out it Yale. And we're going against these guys
Speaker 1: who are just you know, in warmups, just throwing it
Speaker 1: down like it's I'm going, holy, this is an aerial display.
Speaker 1: We killed him, And I say we the guy from
Speaker 1: Yale and Mike Dunlevy killed them, and you just go
Speaker 1: why how it's understanding the game. It's understanding the moment.
Speaker 1: And that's what happens in March madness. You know, you
Speaker 1: just get the right team, the right matchup, and that
Speaker 1: team looking ahead to see who do we play next?
Speaker 1: But you gotta beat St. Peter's who do we play next?
Speaker 1: You gotta beat Richmond or in Yukon's case, Marvin's case,
Speaker 1: who do we play after New Mexico? Staying nobody? Marvin?
Speaker 1: You guys play nobody? You got the rest of the
Speaker 1: month off? No, no, no, no, they got Intermills. Oh yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: we're going back the gamble, all right, inter Merrills. All right,
Speaker 1: So which team when they lose pleases me? Mote? They
Speaker 1: said a little, So you got team a little wordy, yeah,
Speaker 1: because he can't team whose losses most please me? But
Speaker 1: well it's also Tom Brady. Okay, how about losses that
Speaker 1: most pleased me? Yeah? Ye in there too. And people
Speaker 1: love watching the Yankees. Yeah, that's not a big deal
Speaker 1: anymore when the Yankees live. Yeah, that spent all that money.
Speaker 1: Look what you got now you don't nothing. Yeah, boy,
Speaker 1: I got a sneaky one that may not make this poll,
Speaker 1: but lately it's spent Pop Clemson and Dabbo Sweeney. People
Speaker 1: really enjoyed him losing last year. I noticed on social Yeah,
Speaker 1: not sure exactly why, but people enjoyed it. Well, you know,
Speaker 1: when all of a sudden, you're newt Rockety, Amos, Alonzo Stagg,
Speaker 1: you know, all rolled into what John a Heisman. I'm like,
Speaker 1: slow down here, slow down, Yeah, they got humbled all right.
Speaker 1: Age seven seven three d P Show, Emoil Adder stp
Speaker 1: a dan Patrick dot Com Twitter handle, a TP show.
Speaker 1: We will more more madness in March, the NFL or
Speaker 1: college basketball, because boy, you can make a case it's
Speaker 1: the NFL certainly so far. When we come back, Davante
Speaker 1: Adams a Raider take a break back after this and
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show. Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast
Speaker 1: is called All Ball. We usually talk all basketball all
Speaker 1: the time, but it's more about the stories about what
Speaker 1: made these people love their sport and all the interesting
Speaker 1: interactions along the way. We talked to coaches, we talked
Speaker 1: to players, We tell you stories. You download it, you
Speaker 1: listen to it. I think you like it. Listen to
Speaker 1: All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts,
Speaker 1: orherever you get your podcast. Be sure to catch the
Speaker 1: live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine
Speaker 1: am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app. Stat of the Day brought to you
Speaker 1: by Panini America. The official trading cards of The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show, The Mountain West, Win oh and Or in
Speaker 1: the Tournament. Wyoming lost, Colorado State, Boise State, San Diego State,
Speaker 1: all losers in the first round. I mentioned which has
Speaker 1: had more madness, Well, football has had more madness in
Speaker 1: March than basketball because we just got started. But two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, Russell Wilson was a Sea hunk, Tom Brady
Speaker 1: was retired. Aaron Rodgers future in Green Bay was in down.
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz who was a cult, Davante Adams was a packer,
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley was still active as a Falcon's wide receiver,
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack was a Bear. Von Miller was a free agent,
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky was the Bill's backup quarterback, Deshaun Watson preparing
Speaker 1: for a grand jury, and Troy Aikman and Joe Buck
Speaker 1: worked for Fox. That's eleven days that all of that
Speaker 1: has happened, and the biggest news of the NFL offseason
Speaker 1: has been Aaron rodgers decision to stay in Green Bay.
Speaker 1: All right, Now, you could say maybe Tom Brady or
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson getting traded, but all folks, you know, all
Speaker 1: the focus was on Aaron Rodgers and you thought, all right,
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. You want to stay in
Speaker 1: Green Bay. You play an easy division. You got an
Speaker 1: easy schedule this year, and you'll always have Davante Adams,
Speaker 1: all right. The only problem is Green Bay traded Adams
Speaker 1: to the Raiders yesterday. That's one of those where I
Speaker 1: wasn't surprised with Russell Wilson getting traded. Wasn't surprised Tom
Speaker 1: Brady came out of retirement, Khalil mack or Von Miller,
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky, Mitchell Trubisky a little bit that he's going
Speaker 1: to be a starting quarterback. Deshaun Watson prepping for a
Speaker 1: grand jury. You know, there was nothing surprising about that.
Speaker 1: Maybe the fact that there were no charges. You know,
Speaker 1: they dismissed that case, but he still has the other
Speaker 1: civil lawsuit. And I thought he would have already picked
Speaker 1: his team. And I guess it's come down to the
Speaker 1: Saints and Falcons. The Browns and Panthers have been told
Speaker 1: that they're not in the running here. But it does
Speaker 1: feel like the Saints are going to be the winner
Speaker 1: here with DeShawn Watson, or they're gonna get him. I
Speaker 1: don't know if that makes them a big winner, but
Speaker 1: I thought the Falcons made more sense. And then I wondered,
Speaker 1: could you know there'd be a situation where he does
Speaker 1: go to Atlanta and Matt Ryan is the big winner
Speaker 1: that he gets out of Atlanta and he gets to
Speaker 1: go to the Colts and you get to play indoors.
Speaker 1: You get to have a great running attack, You've got
Speaker 1: a really good offensive line, and you've got a sneaky
Speaker 1: great defense there, and you got Frank Reich, who's your
Speaker 1: head coach. He might want that, and I guess he's
Speaker 1: holding off a roster bonus here. It's only seven and
Speaker 1: a half million dollars. But I think restructuring his deal
Speaker 1: may be part of this. But back to Adams. You know,
Speaker 1: the Packers receive a first round pick and a second
Speaker 1: round pick in this year's draft and they get to
Speaker 1: Vante Adams. Draft picks aren't going to help Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: because Green Bay doesn't use first round draft picks on
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I don't know if you can find a
Speaker 1: wide receiver right now, if you're looking around and you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, Tom Brady is recruiting Julio Jones,
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry a possibility there, But Aaron Rodgers may have
Speaker 1: to get on the recruiting trail. This is what Tom
Speaker 1: Brady does. I mean Tom Brady picking up the phone
Speaker 1: trying to get Julio Jones to go to Tampa. Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: And then there are all these stories that came out.
Speaker 1: You know, we have all these insiders. Nobody knew, right,
Speaker 1: nobody knew about this zero PAULI even paused before he
Speaker 1: sent it because he thought somebody had hacked Adam Schefter's account.
Speaker 1: But you know, I start to look at what's going
Speaker 1: on with you know, behind the scenes. I guess this
Speaker 1: deal fell apart on Wednesday, that it had been discussed,
Speaker 1: and I you know, from what I'm reading, from what
Speaker 1: is being reported, Aaron Rodgers knew about it, and that
Speaker 1: Davante Adams always wanted to play for the Raiders. Grew up,
Speaker 1: you know, went to Fresno State, played with David Carr,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. They have a house next to one another,
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be a Raider and he's gonna
Speaker 1: make more money. That's why when people put out you know,
Speaker 1: a tweet or a text right away where it's like, oh,
Speaker 1: congratulations Aaron for taking all the money. That wasn't the
Speaker 1: case because the packers reportedly offered Davante Adams more money
Speaker 1: than the Raiders did. So you know, everybody wants to
Speaker 1: have a hot take like okay, great. You know he
Speaker 1: had to get all that money. Well, Davante could have
Speaker 1: gotten more money by staying with the Packers, but Rogers
Speaker 1: reportedly was aware of the trade talks, and so I
Speaker 1: don't think he was blindsided by this. But the deal
Speaker 1: was dead on Wednesday, according to Tom Pellicero of the
Speaker 1: NFL Network, who would join us coming up next hour,
Speaker 1: But came back to life because anybody could have signed
Speaker 1: Davante Adams to an offer sheet. If you gave up
Speaker 1: two first round picks, you could get him. Now you
Speaker 1: do have to pay him. And this is a deal
Speaker 1: that's worth one hundred and forty one million dollars over
Speaker 1: five years, and he's going to get an average of
Speaker 1: twenty eight point two five million dollars per year. That's
Speaker 1: a whole lot of money. Now, I have a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence in the Packers' ability to draft. Well, you're
Speaker 1: on the clock now because I don't know, I don't
Speaker 1: You don't have a number one scantling you're bringing him
Speaker 1: back Randall Cobb. But we've seen wide receivers come in
Speaker 1: and make a splash right away. A lot of college
Speaker 1: you know, wide receiver Jamar Chase comes in, justin Jefferson,
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs. We've seen these wide receivers come in and
Speaker 1: it's like whoa DK Metcalf? All right, So you know
Speaker 1: that jump can happen immediately if you get the right guy.
Speaker 1: And are you going to use that for john draft
Speaker 1: pick on a wide receiver? Is there one of those
Speaker 1: guys that all of a sudden can go Hey, I
Speaker 1: can be what Davante Adams was, or I can be
Speaker 1: close to that. Yeah. But a lot of these freegent
Speaker 1: wide receivers about five or six days ago they signed
Speaker 1: with Jaguars, with other places. If you knew there's an
Speaker 1: opening in Green Bay and this guy can make you
Speaker 1: an All Pro or Pro bowler like he Didvanta Adams
Speaker 1: first three years he was like a B level receiver
Speaker 1: and then five straight Pro Bowls. Well, I wondered about
Speaker 1: Alan Robinson signing with the Rams was a sneaky great pick.
Speaker 1: I mean that really was. I was sneaky great. Robert
Speaker 1: Woods is probably going to be let go by the Rams.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they do with O b J.
Speaker 1: But if you're Green Bay and you knew that you
Speaker 1: were gonna lose Davante Adams, do you back channel to
Speaker 1: say to Allen Robinson, hey, before you do anything? And
Speaker 1: maybe did. I don't know. Hey, we'll find out from
Speaker 1: Tom Pella sero. But what a crazy week last sleven
Speaker 1: days and this this is what makes the NFL king
Speaker 1: king of content. There all right, we'll get phone calls
Speaker 1: coming up. We still are waiting for Deshaun Watson. That decision.
Speaker 1: It felt like it was twenty four to thirty six
Speaker 1: hours yesterday. I don't know if it's now. We restart
Speaker 1: the clock today and it's twenty four to the next
Speaker 1: thirty six. Baker Mayfield I said at the time when
Speaker 1: he put out that kind of a white flag, Hey,
Speaker 1: I surrender you guys can move on. You want Deshaun Watson,
Speaker 1: then I'll play elsewhere. And then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: they weren't getting Deshaun Watson. And then there was a
Speaker 1: source saying to Chris Martinson that they wanted an adult
Speaker 1: at quarterback. All right, handwritings on the wall, an indelible
Speaker 1: ink here for Baker Mayfield. So Baker Mayfield's agent said,
Speaker 1: oh no, we don't want to go back, and the
Speaker 1: Browns say, no, no, we want you back. Well, I
Speaker 1: don't know what the trade market is for Baker Mayfield.
Speaker 1: You know, the Colts Alliance Seattle. I don't know. But
Speaker 1: here's the problem I have. And this is a microcosm
Speaker 1: of Baker Mayfield. Okay, it's a tough time, get tough.
Speaker 1: And that's why I was surprised he raised the white flag.
Speaker 1: Just say, hey, you want to bring in Deshaun Watson, okay,
Speaker 1: but until then, I'm your quarterback here and I played
Speaker 1: through pain to to you know, try to get us
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. You know, looking back, should I probably not,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to bring this city a winner. I'm
Speaker 1: trying I play through this. You want to bring in
Speaker 1: a guy because you say, I'm not an adult who
Speaker 1: look at what he's involved in, Deshaun Watson, but you
Speaker 1: want to bring him in and you want to get
Speaker 1: rid of me. Well, you know, Baker brings too much
Speaker 1: to the position. Like this is where you do act
Speaker 1: like an adult, where you say, look, I'm a competitor.
Speaker 1: You want Deshaun Watson, then send me someplace else. I
Speaker 1: don't want to leave. This city has meant so much
Speaker 1: to me and my wife. But if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then you send me someplace else, okay. And then I thought, well,
Speaker 1: if you don't get to Shaun Watson, then what happens
Speaker 1: do you then say to Baker? Hey, were you just kidding?
Speaker 1: Come on, but your agent has to help you help
Speaker 1: yourself here. You know, now you want to force your way. See,
Speaker 1: this is where you act like an adult. The Browns
Speaker 1: haven't because they were willing to bring into Shawn Watson like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we gotta get rid of Baker. He's immature. Oh okay,
Speaker 1: But if I'm Baker Mayfield, I would go back to
Speaker 1: Cleveland and I would try to play the best football
Speaker 1: of my life. And then what you say to Cleveland
Speaker 1: is what do you want to do? And then if
Speaker 1: they want to get rid of you, then you have
Speaker 1: a little bit more bargaining power. You're coming off surgery,
Speaker 1: didn't play well, and it would give you an opportunity
Speaker 1: to say to a team, hey, look at what I
Speaker 1: just did with Cleveland, but they want to move on,
Speaker 1: or Cleveland would have to walk back you know their words,
Speaker 1: and go, we're going to extend you, but tell me
Speaker 1: a team that has more talent like Seattle Dead and
Speaker 1: to have more talent than Cleveland does. Now you can
Speaker 1: say Indie does, but I don't. I don't know if
Speaker 1: they would want Baker Mayfield. There feels like they would
Speaker 1: want Jimmy g maybe Matt Ryant. They don't want drama
Speaker 1: attached to this, like you have to. It's a sliding
Speaker 1: scale how much drama you got and how much talent
Speaker 1: you got, And right now Deshaun Watson has both. He's
Speaker 1: got a lot of baggage, but he got a lot
Speaker 1: of talent with Baker. Just go back and play, you
Speaker 1: know what, bite your tongue and prove everybody wrong. That
Speaker 1: would be the approach if I'm his agent, you know what,
Speaker 1: go back there, make them eat their words. We're gonna play,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be great, We're gonna win, and then you
Speaker 1: want to resign me or I'll go someplace else. But
Speaker 1: then that would give you more bargaining power as a team. Hey,
Speaker 1: I saw him. You know he was quiet. He just
Speaker 1: played football. There was no drama around him, played great.
Speaker 1: Or the Browns are gonna go We can't afford to
Speaker 1: lose him now, Yeah, POLM can that happen at this point,
Speaker 1: Like your advice three days ago would have been fantastic.
Speaker 1: Like if you would have pulled Baker and Baker bay
Speaker 1: Field aside three days ago, why wouldn't have put out
Speaker 1: that letter? Can you backtrack? Now? It may be awkward,
Speaker 1: but I don't know if it's possible. Oh, I think
Speaker 1: these teams have a short memory. It's like everybody's falling
Speaker 1: all over themselves, embarrassing themselves to recruit Deshaun Watson. No, hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: he might have done those things. Man, he can he
Speaker 1: can play, like you know, That's what these teams there,
Speaker 1: That's what these owners are saying. They don't care. It's like,
Speaker 1: can you play? We're willing to take you. Yeah, pol
Speaker 1: But if you're at the Cleveland management in Brass, do
Speaker 1: you look at this as an opportunity to move on
Speaker 1: from Baker Mayfield without you looking like you're in the
Speaker 1: wrong or the bad guy? He said he wanted out.
Speaker 1: You looked to improve the position. They probably weren't assign
Speaker 1: it a big contract anyway. It seems like their problem
Speaker 1: has just been taken off out of their hands. They
Speaker 1: could dump him for whatever they get and add Matt
Speaker 1: Ryan or Jimmy Garoppolin, and like you said, that would
Speaker 1: be at least a wash on the field and quiet
Speaker 1: off the time. I can't imagine Matt Matt Ryan is
Speaker 1: not going to Cleveland with the talent there. Now, you're
Speaker 1: not going to Cleveland Colts. If he's going, he'd go
Speaker 1: to the Colts in my opinion. But you know, let's
Speaker 1: see if what if Deshaun Watson doesn't go to Atlanta.
Speaker 1: I mean, Matt Ryan does know the days are numbered there,
Speaker 1: but he's probably saying, all right, I'm okay with this.
Speaker 1: But he's you know, he's been around the league for
Speaker 1: a long time. He's a veteran. He's not gonna let
Speaker 1: this bother him. It's not like Matt Ryan's going, oh,
Speaker 1: you're interested in Deshaun Watson, trade me. You know, Baker
Speaker 1: is the guy that he wants to He's so competitive
Speaker 1: he wants to fight you. And that's why I was
Speaker 1: surprised that he wrote this letter, or his agent wrote
Speaker 1: the letter. Don't say goodbye. Don't say good bye until
Speaker 1: you know it's goodbye. If you want to say I
Speaker 1: don't want to go, I'm going kicking and screaming, But
Speaker 1: don't don't do a white flag surrender here because you
Speaker 1: might have to go back. And I said it at
Speaker 1: the time. When I read that, I'm like, don't do this.
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls in here. Fritzie does have
Speaker 1: a Kentucky loses, Limerick, don't we all lose if you
Speaker 1: have a Kentucky. Well, I can't argue that. Okay, this
Speaker 1: program brought to you by the great folks at Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 1: The family takes turns, turning heads, brains, beauty, athleticism. All
Speaker 1: they need now is for you to drive them off
Speaker 1: the line. Mercedes Benz vehicle of SUVs, a family of
Speaker 1: unrivaled vehicles waiting at your local dealer. Cyrus and San
Speaker 1: Francisco leads us off high Cyrus, Good morning. I've been
Speaker 1: a Rated Plan for a long time, since the seventies,
Speaker 1: and this is the first time in the last twenty
Speaker 1: twenty five years it seems like the franchise essentially he's
Speaker 1: picking up somebody other than just a name or a
Speaker 1: patch hug war to basically hope to bridge the yap. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's the first time it shows that the culture
Speaker 1: and the team has changed. And you know, Play at
Speaker 1: his prime wants to play for his team instead of
Speaker 1: just grabbing the money. And well he got the money,
Speaker 1: He certainly got the money, but he did want to
Speaker 1: play for the Raiders. Thanks for the phone call, Cyrus.
Speaker 1: But you know what, you know, you got a new
Speaker 1: coach in there, new philosophy in there, and the AFC
Speaker 1: West is by far the best division in football. And
Speaker 1: I love what they've done. Chandler Jones, Max Crosby. You
Speaker 1: know they're losing Dockway. But I got a good running back,
Speaker 1: good tight end, I got a really good wide receiver
Speaker 1: now and we're going to see what Derek Carr is
Speaker 1: able to do with his former college teammate. But the
Speaker 1: AFC West, what the Chargers have done, what Denver has done.
Speaker 1: Kansas City has been status quo for the most part.
Speaker 1: But I don't know if they're going to be doing
Speaker 1: anything anytime. Sooner they may say we we like what
Speaker 1: we have right now. Let's not make any rash decisions here. Chargers,
Speaker 1: they were aggressive. I love it. Raiders aggressive, love it,
Speaker 1: Denver aggressive love it. AFC West must see TV. Let's
Speaker 1: see what else do we have here today? Andrew and
Speaker 1: Washington is back. Hi, Andrew, good morning, Hey, good morning, guys,
Speaker 1: Thanks for taking my call. Hey, wonderful interview with Ray
Speaker 1: Allen yesterday. Love that guy tell stories like Dirk and
Speaker 1: he went for you. You always get something great out
Speaker 1: of them, so I always love to see them on
Speaker 1: I don't know if we've looked the other way or not,
Speaker 1: but there was an NBA game last night. It did
Speaker 1: produce the eighth fifty point game in the month of March,
Speaker 1: which is March Madness for the NBA. It's the most
Speaker 1: fifty point game since December of nineteen sixty two. I'm
Speaker 1: surprised that Todd is okay with Davante Adams this morning,
Speaker 1: not hijacking his first day of Mark Madness. And on
Speaker 1: that note, I do have a status the day if
Speaker 1: I could have some music from Margaret. I hope you
Speaker 1: guys have a great weekend. Thank you, Andrew Die Die Die.
Speaker 1: Sadique Bay had the pistons first fifty one point game
Speaker 1: and a win against Orlando last night since Rick Hamilton
Speaker 1: in two thousand and six. Bay's ten made three pointers
Speaker 1: in the game, type a franchise record set in nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety four by Joe Dumars. Die Die, well done, Well done,
Speaker 1: Andrew Sadique Bay. If I said, hey, Sadique Bay had
Speaker 1: an unbelievable performance, what sport you'd go? Uh, Premier League?
Speaker 1: Maybe a corn ferry tour, golf, cricket? Yeah, Sadique Bay,
Speaker 1: he had ten threes last night, he had fifty one.
Speaker 1: The Pistons beat the Magic. It shouldn't really count if
Speaker 1: you do it against the Magic. That's not fair. But
Speaker 1: fifty one points the thirteenth player this season to score
Speaker 1: at least fifty points. That matches the twenty eighteen season
Speaker 1: for the most players posting fifty point games in an
Speaker 1: NBA in the NBA in its history. Yampo, here's a
Speaker 1: stat I'd like to know. Sadiq Bay averages sixteen points
Speaker 1: a game. Has anyone who averaged fewer than that ever
Speaker 1: score fifty in that season? Okay? Marvin was quick to
Speaker 1: raise his hand. You know what I'm gonna say, Tony
Speaker 1: delk oh, that's a nice call on a day after
Speaker 1: when Kentucky loses the former Kentucky Wildcat, Tony delk Okay,
Speaker 1: take to take it off of Yukon, thanks Kentucky. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: my guess would be remember that rookie Brandon Knight for
Speaker 1: the Pistons. Yeah, didn't he have fifty during his rookie year?
Speaker 1: I don't he had a good rookie year, but I
Speaker 1: don't remember averaging more than sixteen. We're gonna check that.
Speaker 1: How about Kevin Porter Junior? The third pers So what's
Speaker 1: what's the line? The over underline is sixteen point six
Speaker 1: three points. Okay, so we're gonna send sixteen points over under?
Speaker 1: Has anybody averaged less points and scored at least fifty
Speaker 1: in a season? All right, let me take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll get some of our best people on him. Operators well,
Speaker 1: operator Tyler standing by. Glad you're part of the program.

Speaker 1: Allen forced this deal into the hands of Henry Haggis
Speaker 1: with a basketball thirty seconds left, the go drive shot,
Speaker 1: got it in the foul. Oh my goodness, Teddy Allen
Speaker 1: did it of an offensive end. Then on the offensive
Speaker 1: end and He's got his team primed to advance. With
Speaker 1: a five point lead. At twenty seven and a half seconds,
Speaker 1: what to go, Teddy Allen went for thirty seven. Aggie's
Speaker 1: win snapped a streak of twelve straight tournament losses. Their
Speaker 1: last tournament win came in nineteen ninety three. They knockout Yukon.

Speaker 1: had been to Teddy Allen. This might be his fourth
Speaker 1: college here and he's still a junior. Still a junior, Yes, Seaton,
Speaker 1: Teddy Allen loves him some, Teddy Allen, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yes he does. That's probably why he's been at four
Speaker 1: different stops here. But he had a great night and
Speaker 1: put an end to Marvin's dreams of his Yukon Huskies
Speaker 1: doing damage in the tournament. All Right, we were looking
Speaker 1: at the I don't want to say the worst players
Speaker 1: to score fifty. How about unexpected players to score fifty points?
Speaker 1: All right? Because Siddiq Bay had fifty one, and he
Speaker 1: plays for the Pistons. In case you don't know, went
Speaker 1: to Villanova and his last year there, the tournament was canceled,
Speaker 1: so we didn't get a chance to see him in
Speaker 1: turn him. So I got Clifford Ray or let me
Speaker 1: see night Clifford Ray, I got Cliff Robinson, I got
Speaker 1: Andre Miller. Wow, I've got you see who else here?
Speaker 1: Tony Delk Now, we were looking at guys who scored
Speaker 1: sixteen points or less average sixteen points or less. Willie
Speaker 1: Burton with the heat, Charles Smith, the Clippers, Dana Barrows.
Speaker 1: Danna Barrows could shoot, Tracy Murray, Tracy could shoot. Mak
Speaker 1: Mood Abdul Raoulf. I wouldn't put him in there because
Speaker 1: Mak Mood led the nation in scoring when he was
Speaker 1: at LSU. Richard Lewis Walt Wesley played for my Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Royals and scored fifty. Corey Brewer of the Rockets had
Speaker 1: fifty in a game. Freeman Williams. Now, you can't put
Speaker 1: Freeman and Williams in there because he led the nation
Speaker 1: in scoring, or at least he was one of the
Speaker 1: top scores in the in the nation. That's why I hate.
Speaker 1: Did anybody see Freeman Williams play? I did? Brandon Jennings
Speaker 1: he put up? Did he put up a double nickel?
Speaker 1: He put up fifty five? Right as a rookie, I think, yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: Vernon Maxwell, he could shoot. He's crazy, but he could shoot.
Speaker 1: He puts fifty one up. Terrence Ross out of Louisville,
Speaker 1: Terrence Ross with the Raptors he had, he won the
Speaker 1: Slam Dun Contest and he scored fifty in a game,
Speaker 1: fifty one in a game against the Clippers. Any other
Speaker 1: players that were missing there and pulling well? The bet
Speaker 1: was who had fewer than sixteen points a game? When
Speaker 1: surfaceball swing man Corey Brewer dropped fifty, he was averaging
Speaker 1: ten and a half points that year. He got the lowest.
Speaker 1: That lowest so far that I could find. I got
Speaker 1: Tony Delk two thousand, two thousand and one was in
Speaker 1: twelve point three off the bench. Okay for your sons
Speaker 1: when he dropped fifty. But Sadiqa Bay averages sixteen and
Speaker 1: a half points per game. Is that right? Yea sixteen
Speaker 1: point three, sixteen point three. Some more phone calls here
Speaker 1: Terry and Rochester. Good morning, Terry. What's on your mind?
Speaker 1: Hey Dan? How you doing it? Sir? What's on your mind? Good?
Speaker 1: I just want to talk about that the Vante Adams
Speaker 1: contract man. That's crazy. You got this guy. He's a receiver,
Speaker 1: you know, like I got no receivers in all running
Speaker 1: baste hurt more than anybody, at least this guy getting
Speaker 1: one point six one point seven million dollars a game.
Speaker 1: It's a lot, a lot of money. Yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: lot of money for a receiver there, Yes, it is,
Speaker 1: it is, Thank you, Terry. Yeah. See, our wide receivers
Speaker 1: in danger of being viewed similarly similarly to running backs,
Speaker 1: that they're interchangeable, interchangeable. Don't pay them a lot of money,
Speaker 1: just keep putting a new one. It feels like if
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a second contract, it's easier to be
Speaker 1: a wide receiver because the game is all about passing,
Speaker 1: less emphasis on running. Now, you know DeAndre Hopkins got paid.
Speaker 1: These guys, you know for the most part. There. You know,
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is gonna eventually get paid. Justin Jefferson Stephan Diggs. Yeah, see,
Speaker 1: but is it the smart football play? Well? Do you
Speaker 1: pay more for your quarterback or do you try to
Speaker 1: get your quarterback? Maybe mid range, but you pay more
Speaker 1: for a wide receiver. I feel like you can get
Speaker 1: wide receivers now, can you get Davante Adams? There's gonna
Speaker 1: be another Davante? Nobody thought Jamar Chase was going to
Speaker 1: be this great. I don't think right away nobody thought
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams who was going to be great out of
Speaker 1: Fresno State. It feels like if you're in the right
Speaker 1: position with the right quarterback, I think a quarterback can
Speaker 1: make you better. Now I could say the same thing
Speaker 1: of what goes on in Minnesota with Kirk Cousins and
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. I feel like Jefferson has made Kirk Cousins better.
Speaker 1: But was Marvin Harrison going to be a Hall of
Speaker 1: Famer or someplace else? Reggie Wayne gonna be great someplace
Speaker 1: else without Peyton Manning. I just I want to have
Speaker 1: my quarterback because I just think the quarterback. I think
Speaker 1: Tom Brady has made his receivers better. But if I'm
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, I got a hunter Renfro, who's a really
Speaker 1: good you know that slot receiver, Darren Waller. I like
Speaker 1: you got Jacobs as you're running back. I got a
Speaker 1: couple of pass rushers there with Max Crosby and Chandler Jones.
Speaker 1: Got a new coach man. Feels good to be a
Speaker 1: Raider fan today. I would think, although you look around,
Speaker 1: you go, yeah, Denver's gonna be a little better, and
Speaker 1: Charger's gonna be a little bit better, and kan City's
Speaker 1: already gonna be good. We'll check in with the Packers.
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers knew all of this was going to go down,
Speaker 1: still wanted to go back to Green Bay. I would
Speaker 1: have thought that if he knew that Davanta Adams wanted
Speaker 1: to leave, that he would want to leave. We'll check
Speaker 1: in with the Packers. Coming up back after this one
Speaker 1: hour in the books. Two more to go in this
Speaker 1: meet Friday, Dan Patrick's show
