WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Lamar Jackson Status Update, Merril Hoge

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:06.880
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio.

0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Phone calls have been very good. A lot of topics

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to dive into. The former NFL running back. I believe

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:16.560
<v Speaker 2>he played for both Bill Kawer and Chuck Knowle. How

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 2>many players can say that Meryl Hodge will join us

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:25.120
<v Speaker 2>and Hodgy is still assessing players eligible for the draft.

0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 2>You go back to now, there was a clip that

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.880
<v Speaker 2>went out last week. It went viral, as they like

0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 2>to say, where we were able to go back when

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 2>Merrill was on with Skip Bayless. I think Skip was

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>at the Mothership at the time, so nine years ago,

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:43.880
<v Speaker 2>and Meryl Hodge said, basically, there's no way I would

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.680
<v Speaker 2>take Johnny Manziel, you know he's not a franchise quarterback.

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.880
<v Speaker 2>And then Skip says, I couldn't disagree with you more

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 2>and You've never been more wrong. Skip's never been more wrong.

0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 3>But well, oh yeah, that's probably has he been more

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 3>wrong than now.

0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 2>He did say one time that he would take Tim

0:01:07.959 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 2>Tebow over Tom Brady I think with a game on

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>the line.

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 4>Correct.

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.520
<v Speaker 3>He also with Manzil, he doubled down and said this

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.880
<v Speaker 3>is going to be Manziel's town soon move over Lebron

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:18.800
<v Speaker 3>I could find.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes uh.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.919
<v Speaker 2>Eight seven seven three DP show email ADDRESSDPA, Tam Patrick

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 2>Vage gentlemen, Well, no, Skip does what he does. That's

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:31.800
<v Speaker 2>why when people say, hey, what do you think of him?

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.399
<v Speaker 2>It's what do you think of him? Because if if

0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 2>you want to watch, then watch. He's a performer.

0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>That's okay.

0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean I do what I do the way I

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 2>do it. I don't try to be somebody else. And

0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Skip is who he is and he's been very successful,

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.680
<v Speaker 2>and a lot of it is I'm going to say

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of things and have hot takes and hopefully

0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 2>you'll forget when I'm wrong. But his job is to

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 2>give you an opinion to get you excited. Same thing

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.800
<v Speaker 2>with Steven A. Now they may not have facts to

0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>back it up, or maybe they do and they feel

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 2>strongly about this. But this show has never been about

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 2>trolling you.

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And going up. How can I be counter to this?

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:02:15.680 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 6>See, maybe we should move into our trolling era.

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.680
<v Speaker 7>No, or we just start doing the dumbest things. Well

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 7>we've been doing it.

0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean we might be doing that, but it's not

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>as well as we could be.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not my design where we go How how

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 2>are we going to be dumb today?

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes?

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 8>You know you compared Steven A and Skip.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't compare that their volume is similar. Steven A

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:39.839
<v Speaker 3>I think believes what he says on air.

0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Skip does too.

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:45.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I think Skip I do it a direction that

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 3>he knows, almost like analytics. If I go this direction,

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 3>I know I'll get this reaction. I don't care what

0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I believe it. If I happen to believe it, it

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 3>makes it easier. But I think he's a performance artist

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 3>who manufactures content to cause reaction. Well, and stephen A,

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 3>I think really believes what he says. He just has

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.680
<v Speaker 3>a performance technique that it's fantastic.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:10.119
<v Speaker 1>See I think they believe it. Now, they could be delusional,

0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>like Skip could be delusional.

0:03:12.960 --> 0:03:15.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, Lebron has twenty rebounds and Skip wants to

0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 2>know why Lebron didn't have twenty one rebounds. It doesn't

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 2>matter what happened. Now, that's where you're trolling. Where you're going. Okay,

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna play the hits. I love the Cowboys and

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>I criticize Lebron. That's his game plan every single day, right,

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm guessing, and it's that's playing the hits. You're playing

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.440
<v Speaker 2>to two of the biggest fan bases there, Lakers Cowboys.

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 2>You're throwing at Tebow once again. Who's going to criticize tebou?

0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>He's telling you how great Tebow is t BO time. Okay,

0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.880
<v Speaker 2>it's wrong. He's wrong in his criticism of Lebron. He

0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 2>goes out of his way to be critical of him.

0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, he loves the Cowboys, so but that's his philosophy.

0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't begrudge any of those guys. It's the

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>audience decides how successful you are, because Skip could do

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 2>this and nobody could be watching and nobody would care.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>And plus where you do it, you know, Steven A

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 2>is on the mother ship. I remember when Steve and

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 2>A got let go by ESPN and he did the

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 2>radio show prior to this one, and people don't even

0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 2>remember that it's the platform you're on. And then he

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.880
<v Speaker 2>went back to ESPN. They turned the keys over to him,

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>and look at him now he's running the network there.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 2>But there are there are a few people. Plus I

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>always tell when you're starting out and you want to

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>do this for a living, be prepared for the blowback,

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 2>be prepared for criticism. I played it straight and narrow

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 2>because I was an anchor at Sports Center and I

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 2>didn't think that. You know, my opinions were supposed to

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>be in my broadcast back then, and therefore I didn't

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 2>have a take on things back then. Even when I

0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.919
<v Speaker 2>did radio. Should have had more of an opinion, but

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't. I thought ESPN. I was representing ESPN,

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.680
<v Speaker 2>And you know that's a miscalculation on my part. When

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I started to do this show, then it was my name,

0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.599
<v Speaker 2>my show, and I could do whatever I want. But

0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:20.920
<v Speaker 2>sometimes you want to put yourself out there. But put

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:25.840
<v Speaker 2>yourself out there when you have something that backs this up, sources, stats,

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>not just here's a hot take, because hot takes they

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 2>come back. They burn you a lot of times. They

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 2>burn you. And Merril Hodge said, look, Johnny Manziel is

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 2>not a franchise quarterback, not even top three rounds. But

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Skip bought into Johnny Manziel, Like Johnny Manziel is a star. Okay,

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:53.320
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't mean he can play in the NFL. Tim Tebow, god,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:57.200
<v Speaker 2>everybody loves Tim Tebow. Yeah, but he can't play quarterback.

0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:59.919
<v Speaker 2>Of course he can, look what he did at Florida.

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:04.600
<v Speaker 2>He can't play quarterback. But you know you buy in

0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and then you're gonna double down. That happens a lot.

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.279
<v Speaker 2>But you know there's so many people who do it

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>in a variety of ways. Good for them. I don't

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't be grudge if you have an audience, you

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>have an audience. It's like when somebody says, hey, what's

0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:23.599
<v Speaker 2>McAfee doing. I said, he's being Pat McAfee, you got energy,

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>barstool with Big Cat. They're doing it in a different way.

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 2>I applaud that. And that's what you need to do.

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Be you when you do these shows. Because a lot

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.080
<v Speaker 2>of people try to fall in line, say I'm going

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:41.040
<v Speaker 2>to try to be like that person. The guys who

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.920
<v Speaker 2>are successful, the women who are successful, they do it

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:48.040
<v Speaker 2>in their own voice. And I don't be grudge. Skip's entertaining,

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Steven A Entertaining. May not believe everything they're saying, but

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:57.160
<v Speaker 2>they do Alrighty Merrill Hodge will join us coming up there.

0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:01.039
<v Speaker 2>I will get phone calls coming up Lamar Jackson.

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I haven't heard anything.

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>That's it Like, at some point, is he just going

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.240
<v Speaker 2>to show up at camp? Are they going to give

0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.360
<v Speaker 2>him a new deal? Is he going to then come

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 2>back and then go, hey, you know what, I'll take

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>the deal that Jalen hurts gott. Are they going to

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 2>trade for DeAndre Hopkins? You got Odell Beckham there. I

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>think we forget how good Baltimore can be. And if

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Lamar Jackson is there and you have some weapons there,

0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>do you eventually meet halfway? But that going into the draft.

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>There's not much talk there with Lamar Jackson, which I'm

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 2>still curious about. Does anybody entertain the possibility of trading

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:48.440
<v Speaker 2>for him? Aaron Rodgers showed up at the Jets facility.

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Looks good, got haircut, got his Jets hoodie on, He's

0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 2>ready to go. Everybody gets a bro hug there. I

0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 2>love it. Yeah, come on in, Hey, is this the

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:02.840
<v Speaker 2>only time you're going to be here in the next

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 2>couple of months, because we'd like to have you back

<v Speaker 2>and meet everybody in the players and you know, maybe work.

0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Out with them. Could you do that, because that's really

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the key with this.

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.600

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.360

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:27.680
<v Speaker 2>Well, you're not ready to win now, so I wouldn't

0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 2>make the trade for Lamar Jackson. You're probably two years

0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:37.839
<v Speaker 2>away if all goes well. I would not take a

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>quarterback up top unless I was absolutely positively in love

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:45.360
<v Speaker 2>with him. You got two first round picks next year

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 2>and you're probably going to be in the same position

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 2>next year. I think if you could get one of

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 2>those quarterbacks with your second pick in the first round,

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>you can't whiff on the first pick you have. You

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 2>can't second overall, can't whiff. Would I take a chance

0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 2>on Richardson or I don't think Stroud will be there,

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>but you know Richardson could be, so yeah, I might

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 2>do that, but I would rather wait until next year

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:21.559
<v Speaker 2>because I know that I got three quarterbacks who are

0:10:21.600 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 2>considered better than all of these quarterbacks. Pennix, Caleb Williams,

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 2>and Drake May A couple of phone calls in here.

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:30.719
<v Speaker 7>I wish that you had said that, by the way,

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 7>before I submitted all of my answers to game.

0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 6>Okay, that makes a lot more sense than what I

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:36.200
<v Speaker 6>just did.

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 2>Does everybody have their picks in on which team is

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 2>going to take take the quarterbacks?

0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, and then we'll reveal this.

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Of course, it'll be a big, big moment on Friday

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 2>on the show, and when we look back on what

0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 2>we thought was going to happen first round. Mike in

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Utah joins us speaking of that topic. Good morning, Mike,

0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:54.920
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind?

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:56.600
<v Speaker 5>Good morning?

0:10:56.720 --> 0:11:00.600
<v Speaker 9>Dan and the dnets speaking and looking back in sixteen,

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 9>you guys did a quarterback draft and you all pick

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 9>NFL quarterbacks and where they were gonna be in seven years,

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 9>And I just wonder how that panned out.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:13.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, do you have the information?

0:11:15.240 --> 0:11:16.640
<v Speaker 9>No, I don't even remember.

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, Mike, I thought it was gonna be one of

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 2>those gotcha moments, like you guys thought this guy?

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, PAULI from what I recall, we did some type

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 3>of draft if you had to start your team with

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 3>a quarterback going forward in twenty sixteen, I think we

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:32.120
<v Speaker 3>did that.

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Was that Fritzie taking Carson Wins?

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 8>I think it was.

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>I gotta check that sixteen I'd been too early, but

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 3>it's something like that.

0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 2>I thought Mike was gonna say, you idiots, do you

0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:46.800
<v Speaker 2>guys know who you picked was gonna get He's like, no,

0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:49.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I mean, I'm guessing we do this

0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 2>almost every year. Uh, let's see Kevin and Dayton. Hey Kevin,

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>what's on your mind today?

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Hey Dan?

0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:58.160
<v Speaker 1>How's it going great?

0:11:58.240 --> 0:11:58.440
<v Speaker 9>keV?

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:03.400
<v Speaker 10>First time, long time six ' three, a soft two forty.

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:09.440
<v Speaker 10>I just wanted to ask you advice. I'm going on

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 10>a bachelor trip this weekend and destin with twenty guys,

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.360
<v Speaker 10>and I wanted to see if you had any any

0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 10>tips for me.

0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Uh, it's been a while since I've been at

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 2>a bachelor party. Uh, Paul, you got any advice?

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.360
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, it's a two day party Batchelor weekend.

0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, try not to overdo it on Friday where you're

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 3>too banged up to answer the call for golf on

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 3>Saturday or whatever's going on Saturday. I've seen bachelor and

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 3>Batcheltt parties Friday out of hand. Your drink like you're

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 3>back in college, all right.

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.040
<v Speaker 7>See O'Connor, do your best to have a glass of

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.280
<v Speaker 7>water between each drink.

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, it's.

0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 6>Gonna make the weekend go buy a lot better.

0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean nothing says bachelor party quite like mixing in

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:51.040
<v Speaker 2>a glass of water.

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:53.440
<v Speaker 7>That's why you just just sit have a glass of

0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 7>water with you, have your drinks or whatever, but try

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 7>to mix in a glass of water between every drink.

0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm taking a sensible approach to this, and I want

0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that I'm here for the law.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 7>Look, this dude comes back on you know, he's getting

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 7>bailed out Sunday morning. He's gonna be like, I probably

0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:11.560
<v Speaker 7>should have had some more water instead of whiskey.

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:13.439
<v Speaker 1>That might not be the first thing he says.

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.360
<v Speaker 3>And don't go to will now, and don't go to

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:18.400
<v Speaker 3>a strip club. Go to a remove just a little

0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:19.560
<v Speaker 3>amount of clothing club.

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, where they don't strip everything off. Good luck, Kevin,

0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:27.160
<v Speaker 2>We're counting on you.

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:27.960
<v Speaker 6>Glass of water.

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah.

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Anybody been to a bachelor party recently? Marv, you're the

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>youngest guy. I would think you would been to a

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:38.360
<v Speaker 2>bachelor party.

0:13:38.480 --> 0:13:38.840
<v Speaker 6>I have not.

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 11>I have a couple of friends that are on wedding

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 11>number two and we were like, now, we're just gonna

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:43.640
<v Speaker 11>keep it cool.

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.840
<v Speaker 4>I'll see you guys at the altar.

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Yes, huh.

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 11>Not recently, but several years ago in Vegas at the Mirage,

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.040
<v Speaker 11>things got pretty wild.

0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>In my estimation, I'm not the okay.

0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.439
<v Speaker 11>Party guy, but I just saw some things I probably

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:57.320
<v Speaker 11>shouldn't have seen.

0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, is this thirty years ago?

0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:04.120
<v Speaker 4>This would be like I would say, twenty years ago, maybe.

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 2>All right, fifteen to twenty years What is a wild

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 2>time to you?

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:10.080
<v Speaker 11>A wild time is not only having women come up

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 11>but also perform acts right there in public and not

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.400
<v Speaker 11>even go in another room than take the guy with

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.199
<v Speaker 11>them and just things are happening and regardless of who's

0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 11>viewing it in.

0:14:19.240 --> 0:14:19.680
<v Speaker 4>Front of them.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So there's no champagne room.

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 4>No champagne room. There were there were There was a

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:25.200
<v Speaker 4>bathroom that a couple of them went into.

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 11>But then there were a few things I saw that

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.360
<v Speaker 11>were just happening right there in the main living room

0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 11>in the big suite that was rented at that I

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:33.240
<v Speaker 11>was surprised was going on right there for.

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 4>All to ogel. Okay, to me, that was kind of

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:38.440
<v Speaker 4>a big deal.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:41.720
<v Speaker 3>I can't imagine Fritzy being friends with anyone that would

0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.680
<v Speaker 3>have that type of party. I know most of Fritzy's

0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 3>friends got like three Yeah.

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.440
<v Speaker 7>See, it's interesting too because Todd said it was like

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.640
<v Speaker 7>fifteen to twenty years ago, which means we all knew

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:56.480
<v Speaker 7>each other fifteen years ago, we were doing this show already.

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Yes, wait, wait now it's twenty five.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 4>But you know that that's a good point.

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 11>It was it was it was before uh it was

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 11>before I was married the nineties.

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>This would before you were married. Then how long you

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 1>been married.

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 4>I've been married like twenty four years.

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so this.

0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Probably happened like it happened like you were you just

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.720
<v Speaker 2>said fifteen now before you got married.

0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 4>Probably I'm thinking it's twenty five.

0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:21.920
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 4>We all think I'm just making up the story altogether.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 1>So are you making up?

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 11>This was some while stuff at the Mirage in Vegas,

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 11>which I did not participate in, but I certainly uh

0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 11>watched some.

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Stuff that was he was mixing in his water. See yeah, yes, Todd,

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 1>you were single.

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 8>Why didn't you participate?

0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 4>I just didn't. It was just too a little too wild,

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 4>I did.

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 11>I did tell one young lady that I thought she

0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 11>was very beautiful and uh, and she gave me like

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:47.960
<v Speaker 11>a little peck on the cheek and then she ended

0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.680
<v Speaker 11>up being a porn star like a year and a

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 11>half later, and sent me like VHS tapes to an

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.000
<v Speaker 11>office in LA where I was working, which probably wasn't

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.240
<v Speaker 11>a great place to be doing that.

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>How did she get your information?

0:15:59.120 --> 0:15:59.960
<v Speaker 4>I probably was commuting.

0:16:01.880 --> 0:16:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember giving her a worker dress though business cards.

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 8>Let me get the briefcase, hold on please, I.

0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 11>Just remember getting a note, Hi, Toddy, surprise, I'm a

0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 11>porn star, which was followed by like three VHS tapes

0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 11>I still have. I took her out to uh wait,

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:22.520
<v Speaker 11>did she got to lunch one time for sush like

0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 11>hot toddy?

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:23.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 4>Is that.

0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay?

0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 4>Santa Monica?

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.200
<v Speaker 8>Yes, twenty dollars for sushi. Nothing happened, she got page

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 8>and how to go to some.

0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.120
<v Speaker 2>You're the only guy who goes out with a porn

0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 2>star and nothing happened.

0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't even I don't even love sushi.

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:37.000
<v Speaker 11>All a sudden, I got a built form like a

0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 11>one forty eight twelve before tip and I'm like, oh,

0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 11>I have to go.

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 4>I have to go and meet someone.

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:45.840
<v Speaker 6>Yes, with a belly full of your sushi.

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.800
<v Speaker 11>I was taking advantage of a little bit there, not

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:51.000
<v Speaker 11>in a good way.

0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Wow, sushi. I barely knew her.

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.280
<v Speaker 4>He's won all kinds of a war.

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>That's great.

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.880
<v Speaker 8>It's not like a character actor. She's a star.

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she was a big deal. They're not all.

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Stars, by the way. You know, there has to be

0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.639
<v Speaker 2>just like somebody who's just in porn. Not everybody's a

0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 2>porn star.

0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 11>Yeah, like a bit roll, like an extra just kind

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 11>of walks by the bed and when nothing's going on.

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 2>They're like journeymen in there too, you know, like sometimes

0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 2>you have a journeyman quarterback.

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Where basketball players played for nine exactly.

0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:26.480
<v Speaker 4>We're too quick to label.

0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.720
<v Speaker 11>There's a robertory of the porn industry that we don't

0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:30.160
<v Speaker 11>know about.

0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 4>You know what, Yeah, always comes up big at the end.

0:17:33.200 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 2>He's called big Shot Bob. Let's take a break. That's

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 2>a good porn name.

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Big Shot.

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:41.399

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:53.639
<v Speaker 2>just went out in the garage and as I was

0:17:53.720 --> 0:17:57.600
<v Speaker 2>leaving yesterday, Tyler and the big German were putting together

0:17:57.680 --> 0:18:03.560
<v Speaker 2>the new Tragger flat Rock flat top grill, and I went,

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:07.160

<v Speaker 2>couple of Super Bowls. Now he'll join us coming up.

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.359
<v Speaker 2>The draft is in Kansas City, Travis, I think is

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 2>holding a party there, Knicks Caves, Tonight, Lakers, Grizzlies, heat Bucks, Warriors,

0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>and the Kings. Not sure how healthy Fox is going

0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.320
<v Speaker 2>to be with that fractured finger on his shooting hand.

0:20:04.359 --> 0:20:07.199
<v Speaker 2>Merril Hodge had the opportunity to work with Merrill at

0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.199
<v Speaker 2>the Mothership for many years. Always had great respect for

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.639
<v Speaker 2>the homework that he did. It's not about hot takes,

0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 2>it's about getting it right. Former NFL running back who

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe. I don't know how many players have played

0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:24.080
<v Speaker 2>for Chuck Noll and Bill Kawer, but Hodgy has Is

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 2>that right?

0:20:24.800 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 1>You played for both those coaches?

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:32.280
<v Speaker 5>Yes, yeah, two legends, which I find myself fortunate to

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.040
<v Speaker 5>have done that because Chuck knowle' is a greatest man

0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:36.879
<v Speaker 5>I've ever met. And then what Bill Coward did in

0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:38.879
<v Speaker 5>the position that he was in, I don't know of

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 5>another human being that could have done what Bill did,

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:43.800
<v Speaker 5>and it was both guys were different, but both guys

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:44.439
<v Speaker 5>great leaders.

0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.800
<v Speaker 2>Your video clip went viral the last couple of weeks

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:52.280
<v Speaker 2>with you with Skip Bayless when you're arguing Johnny Manziel.

0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.000
<v Speaker 2>But I want to know what research you did, Like

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.080
<v Speaker 2>what did you know about Johnny Manziel that maybe others

0:20:59.119 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 2>didn't because Skip was all in and a lot of

0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:05.200
<v Speaker 2>people were on Johnny Manziel. You were all out on

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Manziel.

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 5>Why, well, you know, you know how it was that

0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:10.840
<v Speaker 5>the mother shit they you know. They came over to

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 5>me and asked me if I would come over and

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:18.119
<v Speaker 5>do first take with with Skip, and he said he

0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:20.840
<v Speaker 5>has talked to some coaches. As soon as I heard that,

0:21:20.960 --> 0:21:23.680
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, well, that's that's like really low hanging fruit

0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.840
<v Speaker 5>right there, because that means he doesn't know anything. He's

0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:29.080
<v Speaker 5>talked to a bunch of coaches, and who those coaches

0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:32.399
<v Speaker 5>are were quite honestly irrelevant. This is actually the truth

0:21:32.960 --> 0:21:37.160
<v Speaker 5>foundationally with every organization it's getting ready for tomorrow, the

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 5>foundation of every player that's being looked at. I don't

0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 5>fre what the organization is we're talking about. They've studied

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 5>him on tape extensively. They went back all of their

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:47.560
<v Speaker 5>games to study him on tape, which I had done

0:21:47.560 --> 0:21:50.240
<v Speaker 5>that with Johnny Now, the one thing that was disturbing

0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.440
<v Speaker 5>is he never played in structure, and then people always

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:55.040
<v Speaker 5>say it was so exciting, and I'm like, you know,

0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 5>that's not a skill set, and you don't draft somebody

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.439
<v Speaker 5>because they're exciting. But if you understand structure and how

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:02.959
<v Speaker 5>he's supposed to execute plays, he hardly ever did it.

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:04.960
<v Speaker 5>And then I had a good friend actually was my

0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.840
<v Speaker 5>quarterback coach at the LSU. He his offensive coordinator of

0:22:07.880 --> 0:22:10.080
<v Speaker 5>Steve Craig thought at the time they tried to recruit him,

0:22:10.560 --> 0:22:12.080
<v Speaker 5>and then I heard a lot of stories about how

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.600
<v Speaker 5>they recruited him, how he was as a person in

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.480
<v Speaker 5>high school, how he played in high school. He was

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 5>reckless in high school, but he was exciting. He never

0:22:19.280 --> 0:22:24.920
<v Speaker 5>played with structure. Mike Sherman was the offensive coordinator there

0:22:25.440 --> 0:22:27.920
<v Speaker 5>and he'd run a system there that was similar to

0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:31.639
<v Speaker 5>systems he might see in the NFL. But he read shirted.

0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 5>And his response to that question is what did you

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:38.919
<v Speaker 5>learn was probably the most telling aspect of everything. He's like, well,

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:40.959
<v Speaker 5>I was red shirt and I didn't learn anything. And

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 5>just when I heard that, I was like, Okay, that

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.159
<v Speaker 5>just tells you who he is. Then when he watched

0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:49.439
<v Speaker 5>him play and if you took all that, actually none

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:52.639
<v Speaker 5>other stuff away. Dan, I'm just telling you from people

0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:55.800
<v Speaker 5>get caught up in where the kid plays versus where

0:22:55.840 --> 0:22:58.879
<v Speaker 5>he's going to play. And in our league, this what

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:02.240
<v Speaker 5>makes Tom Brady the great quarterback in the history of

0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 5>our league. He executes the play, he plays in structure

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:08.240
<v Speaker 5>and he does Like, if you're gonna make Tom Brady

0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.240
<v Speaker 5>throw a hitch twelve times in a row, he will

0:23:10.240 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 5>throw a hitch twelve times in a row. You don't

0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.600
<v Speaker 5>have many quarterbacks will say, you know what, throwing a hitch,

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna throw the dig. But the dig is not there.

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 5>Tom Brady is second of five and the other team

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:20.720
<v Speaker 5>is second and ten.

0:23:21.000 --> 0:23:23.480
<v Speaker 1>There's your difference, all right.

0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 2>How many quarterbacks have a first round grade this draft?

0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:31.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I got one that's CJ. Stroud and he is

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:34.959
<v Speaker 5>unique from this perspective. Let's talk about this. These are

0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.760
<v Speaker 5>the two things that have to be woven together. If

0:23:37.760 --> 0:23:40.199
<v Speaker 5>you do not have these two things, your ability to

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 5>win consistently in the national football you're gonna be very hard.

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 5>You gottas decision making, okay, the processing and decision making

0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:52.560
<v Speaker 5>aspect and accuracy has to be that combination, Like, if

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.239
<v Speaker 5>you don't have that, you've got a big problem. One

0:23:55.280 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 5>of those teams is gonna run one of those two things.

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.160
<v Speaker 5>If you don't have it, runs you out of our league. Okay,

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 5>he does have it. Bryce Young has that as well.

0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:05.320
<v Speaker 5>But then as when you got to go a little

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 5>deeper into those two things, the luxurial house State has

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:10.959
<v Speaker 5>now Alabama has half the times. They're just better than

0:24:10.960 --> 0:24:13.920
<v Speaker 5>everybody else, you know, and so what's hard to do,

0:24:14.440 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 5>but you have to do it, and you have to

0:24:16.080 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 5>find enough evidence to see how they function in it

0:24:19.240 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 5>is how will they play in the environment in the

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:24.200
<v Speaker 5>NFL that the NFL is going to create, and majority

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 5>of all throws in the NFL are from a dirty

0:24:26.240 --> 0:24:29.879
<v Speaker 5>collapse pocket, there's traffic. They don't have the luxury of

0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.639
<v Speaker 5>being better than everybody else half of the season. Okay,

0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.360
<v Speaker 5>so how do they function within that? When you look

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:39.880
<v Speaker 5>at that category, now the decision making and accuracy, aspect

0:24:40.040 --> 0:24:44.760
<v Speaker 5>and arm strength come into play. C J. Stroud is strong,

0:24:45.000 --> 0:24:48.240
<v Speaker 5>He is dynamic. I mean his ability to throw accurate.

0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 5>Wise will attack. He can attack every inch of the field,

0:24:51.840 --> 0:24:54.200
<v Speaker 5>every inch of the field. You take Bryce Young into

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:58.320
<v Speaker 5>that pocket collapsing environment. He doesn't have a big enough arm,

0:24:58.359 --> 0:25:00.440
<v Speaker 5>so he's limited and where he's go to be able

0:25:00.480 --> 0:25:03.600
<v Speaker 5>to throw and he's not the same quarterback. He can't

0:25:03.640 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 5>make those throws and that's going to be a big

0:25:06.720 --> 0:25:09.399
<v Speaker 5>consistency in the National Football League where he's going to

0:25:09.480 --> 0:25:11.240
<v Speaker 5>have to play that he doesn't play like c. J.

0:25:11.359 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 5>Stroud does. I still love him. I still think he

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:15.520
<v Speaker 5>does a great jot taking could be a good quarterback.

0:25:16.040 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 5>He's just not. I wouldn't put a first round pick

0:25:18.000 --> 0:25:21.200
<v Speaker 5>on him because that expectation is you're going to be elite,

0:25:21.240 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 5>You're going to take us to a championship, and you

0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:27.080
<v Speaker 5>have to have this as part of your evaluation. He

0:25:27.200 --> 0:25:29.919
<v Speaker 5>is fragile. He is not very big and he has

0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:32.240
<v Speaker 5>already displayed that in the two years at Alabama. The

0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.439
<v Speaker 5>last two years, the year where they were dominantly won

0:25:34.520 --> 0:25:38.280
<v Speaker 5>Heisman Trophy. They're a dominant team. He was awful. Now

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:40.240
<v Speaker 5>when they weren't quite the team that they were the

0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:42.840
<v Speaker 5>previous year. People got the hitting, people got a routing more,

0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:45.199
<v Speaker 5>and he didn't play the entire season. He got hurt

0:25:45.240 --> 0:25:47.479
<v Speaker 5>because you're hitting now when they hit him, and when

0:25:47.520 --> 0:25:49.359
<v Speaker 5>I say when they hit him, here's what happens in

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:52.000
<v Speaker 5>the NFL. Sometimes you're like, well, I can we can

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.520
<v Speaker 5>get our corner there. But out of if he can

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 5>get a quarterback down, hey, in this case, your kicker

0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.719
<v Speaker 5>gets there, then they wipe him off the map. I mean,

0:26:00.760 --> 0:26:02.880
<v Speaker 5>they may charge people for murder when they hit him.

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.520
<v Speaker 5>When he got hit just in college, I gave him

0:26:05.520 --> 0:26:07.679
<v Speaker 5>a ten for toughness because there's so many times I'm like, man,

0:26:07.680 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 5>he ain't getting up from that, and that has to

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:12.919
<v Speaker 5>be an ultimate You have to take that. You have

0:26:13.000 --> 0:26:15.919
<v Speaker 5>to have that discussion because in our league he's going

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:19.880
<v Speaker 5>to get hit. He is not physically he's very fragile,

0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.240
<v Speaker 5>and you have to be okay with him not playing

0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:26.600
<v Speaker 5>a few games every year. You have to be you

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:29.119
<v Speaker 5>have to accept that that could happen. And then with

0:26:29.200 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 5>his limited ability to throw from a dirty pocket NFL environment,

0:26:33.800 --> 0:26:37.159
<v Speaker 5>c J. Stroud doesn't have those things, and I wouldn't

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 5>put that on my coach. If I have the choice,

0:26:38.640 --> 0:26:40.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm gonna take the guy that doesn't put those limitations

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.399
<v Speaker 5>on me, and c J. Stroud does not do that.

0:26:43.480 --> 0:26:46.439
<v Speaker 5>I think he is unique. He is powerfully as strong,

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.360
<v Speaker 5>he is dynamic, he is accurate, and he will threat

0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:51.679
<v Speaker 5>every inch of the field. And he is truly special

0:26:51.720 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 5>from that perspective.

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:56.480
<v Speaker 2>Talking to Merrill Hodge, the former ESPN analyst, he's an author,

0:26:56.520 --> 0:27:00.639
<v Speaker 2>inspirational speaker. Let's go the other quarterbacks here. Bill Levis

0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:03.360
<v Speaker 2>appears to be rising up a little bit.

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:08.399
<v Speaker 5>Why Yeah, I don't know, I answer, I don't know.

0:27:08.520 --> 0:27:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I Well, let's get sink with yeah, Maryland, but let.

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.640
<v Speaker 5>These actually they are actually the bowl of the same category.

0:27:17.680 --> 0:27:19.199
<v Speaker 5>Let's go back to the two things you got to have.

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Accuracy and decision making. Okay, both are highly questionable. Okay, Now,

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 5>decision making. We could sit there and argue, you know,

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.280
<v Speaker 5>and somebody could sell me on well, you know, here's

0:27:30.280 --> 0:27:32.560
<v Speaker 5>why he made this decision. You can clean that up

0:27:32.640 --> 0:27:35.200
<v Speaker 5>and he's going to be better. You're never changing accuracy.

0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:37.640
<v Speaker 5>And here's the biggest mistake that is made in the

0:27:37.680 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 5>history of our game. With every organization you think you

0:27:40.720 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 5>can fix something you cannot fix. You cannot fix. Actually,

0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:46.720
<v Speaker 5>and I go, I go from I've coached kids from

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 5>eight to thirty eight. Actually, coaching football is probably the

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:51.320
<v Speaker 5>best thing ever happened to me, because I see the

0:27:51.359 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 5>genetic makeup of a kid. I see a kid who's accurate.

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:56.080
<v Speaker 5>You know, ten years later, he's still accurate. I see

0:27:56.080 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 5>a kid who's not accurate. He's still not accurate, even

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:00.600
<v Speaker 5>though he worked on it, and you work on it,

0:28:00.640 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 5>you can make your actually a little better. But at

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 5>the end of the day, when you're in the heat

0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 5>of fire, you're going to be who you are, and

0:28:06.359 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 5>that is not very accurate. Both guys. When I say

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:12.880
<v Speaker 5>a radic, I mean Will Levis, I mean he's made

0:28:12.880 --> 0:28:15.159
<v Speaker 5>some throws from a hitch. I mean short, intermediate, and

0:28:15.200 --> 0:28:18.760
<v Speaker 5>vertical two. Okay, there's not just one category where he's

0:28:18.760 --> 0:28:20.960
<v Speaker 5>not good at. I mean he makes some throws where

0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:23.480
<v Speaker 5>even the receiver just turns around. And was like, what

0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:28.080
<v Speaker 5>was that like? Consistently? You know? And I went back

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:30.720
<v Speaker 5>and looked at his last two years, and he was

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:33.520
<v Speaker 5>better his a year ago than he was this last year.

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:36.800
<v Speaker 5>And actually everybody blamed his sad always offensive line was bad.

0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:38.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm telling you this, I'd be pissed if I was

0:28:38.880 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 5>an offensive lineman because he sacked himself more and got

0:28:42.320 --> 0:28:45.320
<v Speaker 5>himself into trouble more by having an awful pocket awareness,

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 5>which was another layer of concern. I'm like, that's an

0:28:48.440 --> 0:28:51.360
<v Speaker 5>instinctive thing. You know that's something that Okay, go back

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:53.680
<v Speaker 5>to who's the greatest quarterback Tom Brady? What made him

0:28:53.720 --> 0:28:55.840
<v Speaker 5>so great? And what did they attack him for? Why

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.560
<v Speaker 5>did they knock it? John Gruden tells this story. We

0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:03.400
<v Speaker 5>downgraded Tom Brady because of his forty the dumbest evaluation

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:07.000
<v Speaker 5>in the history of football, because it's irrelevant. It's irrelevant.

0:29:07.400 --> 0:29:10.520
<v Speaker 5>What is relevant is how he moves within that space.

0:29:10.800 --> 0:29:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And Brady never ran magical.

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.720
<v Speaker 2>Brady never ran forty yards at one point in his career.

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Do you do you have Anthony Richardson in there with

0:29:20.480 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 2>the same kind of description with Will Levis, Yes, Okay.

0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 5>His decision making, his accuracy, it's just it's it's it's

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:34.920
<v Speaker 5>below average at very best, from clean pocket, dirty pocket mobility.

0:29:35.000 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, moving right, moving left, every platform. It is consistent.

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.720
<v Speaker 5>He's inaccurate. You're not changing that, and that will get

0:29:42.840 --> 0:29:46.200
<v Speaker 5>him exposed to the NFL eventually. It just it's unacceptable

0:29:46.200 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 5>and it will drive you out of our league. It

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 5>happens all of the time. But I'll fix it. There's

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.960
<v Speaker 5>coaches there now. Listen. Sometimes the GM's making this call.

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.040
<v Speaker 5>The coach is saying, don't do this. I can't Dix

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.360
<v Speaker 5>that what you're gonna do. That's why I hired you.

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd like that.

0:30:02.000 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 5>That was all the time too.

0:30:03.360 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I like Hendon Hooker. But he is coming off surgery

0:30:06.680 --> 0:30:10.280
<v Speaker 2>and he's twenty five. Is he a first round? Will

0:30:10.280 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 2>he be a first round to pick?

0:30:12.600 --> 0:30:15.000
<v Speaker 5>Now? He could? Now? No? No, A guy who is accurate,

0:30:15.400 --> 0:30:19.000
<v Speaker 5>a guy who processes things well, and I believe is

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:21.400
<v Speaker 5>devalid because of that that k the injury and that

0:30:21.480 --> 0:30:23.960
<v Speaker 5>deep knee injury has to be you know, considered in

0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:25.720
<v Speaker 5>the whole thing. Will he be able to play when it?

0:30:25.960 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 5>But the two things I just talked about, he does

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 5>have them. You know. I put tape on him and

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.200
<v Speaker 5>I was like, you know, I don't know about this kid.

0:30:32.440 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 5>That's one thing I don't know about any of them.

0:30:33.960 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 5>So tape tells me. I'm only going about what the

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 5>tape tells you. I when I talk done with five

0:30:38.640 --> 0:30:41.200
<v Speaker 5>of those games of him, I'm like, oh my gosh.

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 5>Like he gets flat footed at times, which you know

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.920
<v Speaker 5>it gets him in trouble, and that's when he becomes inaccurate.

0:30:46.920 --> 0:30:48.520
<v Speaker 5>But you can work on that and fix that. Okay,

0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.600
<v Speaker 5>that's a that's a technique that he can get better at.

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 5>But his accuracy. I'm his processing of the system they had.

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 5>It was a very sophisticated system, but that's all you

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 5>can go on. He processed that well well. He threw big.

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:04.360
<v Speaker 5>He made big time throws in big time situations under

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 5>a lot of pressure. And I like you from that perspective.

0:31:08.280 --> 0:31:10.120
<v Speaker 5>I think you can build from. If somebody gets into

0:31:10.120 --> 0:31:11.880
<v Speaker 5>the second round, we're gonna get a steal. They'll get

0:31:11.920 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 5>a steal. Would not be surprised if he doesn't go

0:31:14.440 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 5>in the first later.

0:31:16.120 --> 0:31:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Uh, since you are a former running back by Jean Robinson, Uh,

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 2>you know from what I my source says, he might

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:25.160
<v Speaker 2>be the best player in the draft, but he won't

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.600
<v Speaker 2>be taken as the best player because he's a running back.

0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.160
<v Speaker 5>Right. You know, Dan, I always at his path. I

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.040
<v Speaker 5>watch him on tape. Okay, he is gifted. Now here's

0:31:35.080 --> 0:31:37.960
<v Speaker 5>what makes him gifted. Okay, here's the difference between college

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 5>and NFL. Most people don't realize that the builds are different.

0:31:41.360 --> 0:31:43.480
<v Speaker 5>The NFL field is different than the college field. And

0:31:43.520 --> 0:31:44.920
<v Speaker 5>as soon as I say to everybody's like, what do

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 5>you mean? That's not difference? I guess is the hash

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:50.800
<v Speaker 5>marks in college are wider. College hash marks in college

0:31:50.840 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 5>are narrow. So in the NFL we play in the middle,

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:55.840
<v Speaker 5>and college we play on the perimeter. And so when

0:31:55.880 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 5>you're watching a kid in college, you got to look

0:31:57.920 --> 0:31:59.560
<v Speaker 5>at how does he play in the middle, you know,

0:31:59.760 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 5>how can he create? How can he make a dirty

0:32:02.160 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 5>play into a good play. I mean, there's traffic the

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:07.600
<v Speaker 5>holes there, but it's not really Walt clean. This guy

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.880
<v Speaker 5>will clean up a lot of bad plays because he's

0:32:11.120 --> 0:32:15.720
<v Speaker 5>laterally and vertically dynamic his feet and his fluidity is rare.

0:32:16.000 --> 0:32:19.840
<v Speaker 5>It is special. You can't teach that. He has explosiveness,

0:32:19.920 --> 0:32:23.760
<v Speaker 5>he has power, he has speed, he'll block, he can catch,

0:32:24.320 --> 0:32:26.760
<v Speaker 5>and so he is going to when he comes into

0:32:26.760 --> 0:32:30.560
<v Speaker 5>this league. His transitioning will be very easy for him.

0:32:30.720 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 5>And I thought, he's pro day and you know, I

0:32:32.080 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 5>was talking to him, and here's what I fell in

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:35.840
<v Speaker 5>love with him. We were talking about, you know, ask

0:32:35.920 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 5>him who's your favorite player and he said Barry Sanders

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.440
<v Speaker 5>And I said, well, I mean, that's that's not a

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 5>bad guy to have as your best player. And I said,

0:32:43.920 --> 0:32:45.800
<v Speaker 5>how much you know about Walter Payton? Because when I

0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:48.880
<v Speaker 5>played in Chicago, Walter Payton was retired at the time.

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 5>I learned a lot about Walter Payton aside from him

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 5>being a great football player, but we would talk about

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:56.280
<v Speaker 5>the game and how he played and the mindset in

0:32:56.280 --> 0:32:58.840
<v Speaker 5>which he had, and he talked about something I actually

0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:01.080
<v Speaker 5>heard as a fifteen year old kid. He talked about

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:03.840
<v Speaker 5>his mindset of wanting it every day and what that

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 5>did for him is it forced him and it challenged

0:33:07.240 --> 0:33:09.320
<v Speaker 5>him every day to get everything out of his God

0:33:09.360 --> 0:33:11.640
<v Speaker 5>given ability. So I shared that with him and I'm like,

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 5>you need to look up Walter Payton. And he was

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 5>listening to you. Some of these kids are like, yeah,

0:33:15.280 --> 0:33:17.840
<v Speaker 5>whatever you know, get out on the face and a key.

0:33:17.880 --> 0:33:19.120
<v Speaker 5>He came over to talk to me too, by the

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 5>way he started the conversation, but then he listened intently,

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.200
<v Speaker 5>and so I tell him about this Walter Payton thing,

0:33:24.520 --> 0:33:26.880
<v Speaker 5>and I said, here's what your job is. To get

0:33:26.920 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 5>everything out of your God given ability. That's what you

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:31.600
<v Speaker 5>have to do if you want to be great in

0:33:31.600 --> 0:33:33.320
<v Speaker 5>this league. If you'll do that every day, you need

0:33:33.360 --> 0:33:35.360
<v Speaker 5>to study things on Walter Payton. You need to try

0:33:35.400 --> 0:33:38.360
<v Speaker 5>to be create that mindset like Walter Payton. And you

0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.760
<v Speaker 5>could put a gold jacket on one day and he's like,

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:42.440
<v Speaker 5>can I get your number. You know, could you share

0:33:42.480 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 5>more stuff with me and just just that just how

0:33:45.360 --> 0:33:47.120
<v Speaker 5>he was as a human being and a kid. I'd

0:33:47.160 --> 0:33:50.480
<v Speaker 5>heard about that too, but to see it and experience

0:33:50.520 --> 0:33:52.160
<v Speaker 5>it with him and share that with him, and he

0:33:52.160 --> 0:33:55.920
<v Speaker 5>would take that on and embrace that. Just whoever gets

0:33:56.000 --> 0:33:59.800
<v Speaker 5>him is going to get just an absolute star. I mean,

0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:01.280
<v Speaker 5>I think.

0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a dramatic pause, but I think

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:09.760
<v Speaker 2>you froze up there, Hanji. Yeah, we'll take a break. Merril,

<v Speaker 12>podcast or wherever you get your podcast from.

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:25.719
<v Speaker 2>With the Atlanta Hawks winning, that means the Janet Jackson

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 2>concert had to be moved because I guess they didn't

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:30.799
<v Speaker 2>think the Hawks were going to be going very far

0:35:30.840 --> 0:35:34.560
<v Speaker 2>in the playoffs. Therefore in Atlanta. Now the Hawks come

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:37.040
<v Speaker 2>back home and have another game with the Boston Celtics.

0:35:37.080 --> 0:35:41.480
<v Speaker 2>That's why Marv is playing Janet Jackson, Miss Jackson. If

0:35:41.480 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>you're nasty, if you're a nasty, Yes, if you are nasty.

0:35:46.719 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 2>We just watched Aaron Rodgers walk into the building and

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:54.560
<v Speaker 2>he got to meet everybody, coach, GM, owner, handshakes, bro Hugs,

0:35:54.600 --> 0:35:56.759
<v Speaker 2>had a little backpack on, looked like first day of

0:35:56.800 --> 0:36:00.480
<v Speaker 2>school hair and cutt took off his took off his

0:36:00.560 --> 0:36:05.040
<v Speaker 2>tom Cruise aviator glasses as he walked in. And the

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:07.640
<v Speaker 2>thing is is that it looks like it's in slow motion.

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.400
<v Speaker 2>That's actually how Aaron Rodgers was moving when he was

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 2>meeting with the Jets, soaking it all in This in

0:36:15.719 --> 0:36:20.560
<v Speaker 2>from Shams Kawhi Leonard diagnosed with a torn meniscus in

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.600
<v Speaker 2>his right knee. He averaged thirty five points in the

0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:29.640
<v Speaker 2>first two games, but the meniscus injury was revealed and

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:33.680
<v Speaker 2>he was shut down by medical staff. And it goes

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 2>back to what I've said before. People were critical that

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:40.479
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't being tough for you know, you got, hey,

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:43.920
<v Speaker 2>it's sixty percent. You're better than somebody at ninety five percent.

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Got to get in there. And I kept saying, he

0:36:47.800 --> 0:36:50.480
<v Speaker 2>wants to play, there's a reason why he's not playing,

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 2>he's hurt. And then I mean, it'd been nice if

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 2>they said, look, he's not playing, he's got a torn meniscus,

0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:02.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, but what do you do next year? What

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:06.200
<v Speaker 2>can you do next year except for let's try it

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:10.880
<v Speaker 2>one more time with these two. I don't know if

0:37:11.160 --> 0:37:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Kawhi is going to be, you know, available for what's

0:37:13.840 --> 0:37:17.839
<v Speaker 2>sixty games again, and who else would be interested in.

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:21.279
<v Speaker 2>It's either Kawhi plays or tries to play, or maybe

0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:25.280
<v Speaker 2>doesn't play at all again, maybe his career is over.

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:28.680
<v Speaker 2>Paul George, you're going to bring him back again? Did

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 2>you bring back Russell Westbrook? You know that roster getting older,

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:37.319
<v Speaker 2>don't have players under contract after twenty twenty four. You've

0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:39.760
<v Speaker 2>got an owner moving into a new arena.

0:37:40.000 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 1>What could go wrong? Everything? All right?

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.400
