Speaker 1: this is Dan Patrick our two on this Wednesday Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. And like to get in touch with the program,
Speaker 1: you can each seven seven three D piece show. Say
Speaker 1: good morning to our radio partners, Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: YouTube dot Com Slash d Dan Patrick Show, Robert Morren's
Speaker 1: Northern Kentucky, Gonzaga, Hopstra in North Dakota State all going
Speaker 1: to March badness? Will we have March badness? What will
Speaker 1: it look like by the time we get to March badness?
Speaker 1: And fact coming up in twenty minutes from now. A
Speaker 1: columnist for USA Today, Dan Walkin, says we should cancel
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament. He'll tell you why IVY League canceled
Speaker 1: it's men's and women's conference tournaments. But as has been
Speaker 1: pointed out by some columnists, this is hypocritical because Yale
Speaker 1: is still going to the NCAA tournament, at least we
Speaker 1: think they are. You're going to let them go to
Speaker 1: the NCAA tournament, but you can have your own tournament,
Speaker 1: a four team tournament with the IVY League. But this
Speaker 1: isn't a big revenue producing tournament until like the ACC,
Speaker 1: Big Ten or SEC cancels their tournaments. Then you're going
Speaker 1: to draw a lot of attention there Yale one. I'm
Speaker 1: not big on the conference tournaments. It's a it's a
Speaker 1: money maker to begin with. I like the team that's
Speaker 1: been good all year to represent the league. I think
Speaker 1: it's only fair. That's the right thing to do. That's
Speaker 1: the way they used to do it. The IVY League,
Speaker 1: then I think three years ago started their conference tournament,
Speaker 1: but they've canceled the men's and women's conference tournaments. Poll
Speaker 1: question McLevin from the first hour, will you change your
Speaker 1: live attendance habits in the coming weeks? Seventy four percent
Speaker 1: say no. Okay, you know I would have some trepidation,
Speaker 1: But if you said there was a sporting event that
Speaker 1: I wanted to go to, I'd go to it. Now
Speaker 1: that might change in a day, might change in a week,
Speaker 1: might not change at all. I also thought that it
Speaker 1: was kind of strange that when the NBA said, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to take precautionary measures here, what's
Speaker 1: the first thing that they did? They said, we're going
Speaker 1: to keep the writers out of the locker room. So
Speaker 1: keep that the unwashed journalist out of the locker room.
Speaker 1: That'll do it. Like I was offended by that. Hey, hey,
Speaker 1: that'll that's the that's the start here. We're going to
Speaker 1: keep the writers the broadcasters out of the locker room.
Speaker 1: That's the first step in kind of you know, getting
Speaker 1: this coronavirus under rats. Yes, McLeman, I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of people say that this is really bad for journalism
Speaker 1: and that they think that teams are going to keep
Speaker 1: that policy after the coronavirus too. You've you've been in
Speaker 1: a lot of locker rooms. Is it easier, how much
Speaker 1: more effective than it to be in the locker room
Speaker 1: than at a press conference. Well, they've made everybody available.
Speaker 1: Back when I was going into a locker room as
Speaker 1: a reporter, we didn't have You would have a press conference,
Speaker 1: maybe with the coach, but a lot of times if
Speaker 1: you wanted to get a sound bite, you had to
Speaker 1: go track down a player in the locker room, and
Speaker 1: that was not always easy because these guys would hide.
Speaker 1: I remember covering the New York Giants, and in the
Speaker 1: three years I covered the Giants, now this isn't on
Speaker 1: a regular basis, a daily basis, I never got to
Speaker 1: enter you Phil Simms or Lawrence Taylor in the locker
Speaker 1: room because when we had media access and we went
Speaker 1: in there, they were never available. Now, you know, these
Speaker 1: leagues make these players available for you. You don't need
Speaker 1: to be in the locker room. Some of the old
Speaker 1: school like that, you know, they'd like to pull somebody
Speaker 1: off to the side, but it feels like in the
Speaker 1: big press conferences you can still get your opportunity to
Speaker 1: talk to everybody. You know, glu I always find it weird,
Speaker 1: and I know you've been here. We're waiting for a
Speaker 1: guy to change. It's that there's no other interviews like
Speaker 1: that in public. It's it's it's been odd, right, It's
Speaker 1: silly that we can't just like we gotta get you
Speaker 1: right as you get out of this, like you know,
Speaker 1: the game ended, you're coming out of the shower, you
Speaker 1: gotta talk to you. And then you're there while a
Speaker 1: guy is getting dressed and you're just standing there. And
Speaker 1: I always thought, God, what am I doing? You gotta
Speaker 1: be standing though, you can't be sitting if you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. Oh no, now you know it's yeah,
Speaker 1: there's been some uncomfortable situations there. I never was just
Speaker 1: never good, never good. I felt bad for a guy.
Speaker 1: He was one of those guys that would always you'd
Speaker 1: see his hand. He never asked any questions. You'd just
Speaker 1: see his hand with a microphone and then he would
Speaker 1: gather sound. And Bob was down low angle, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: because we didn't want to have his hand in you know,
Speaker 1: he was getting in the way of the camera and
Speaker 1: uh we were in in a basketball locker room and
Speaker 1: Bob I think got hit. Um somebody turned when they
Speaker 1: were getting dressed and hit Bob in the face. So
Speaker 1: we uh we got a good laugh out of that.
Speaker 1: If all you mean like a reverse cup check, Uh no,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, well he was checked
Speaker 1: by Yeah, yeah, he ran into something and because somebody
Speaker 1: was good, you're right there on top of somebody. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's horrible. Yeah, it's awkward. But if
Speaker 1: you get that fresh reaction a little bit sooner, and
Speaker 1: you're an environment where they may be more likely to
Speaker 1: open up to you. In the scott in the locker rooms,
Speaker 1: on a dais in front of a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: you don't think they don't temperate their words, and just
Speaker 1: sitting on a dais all waits for the days I
Speaker 1: don't need to be there getting somebody coming right out
Speaker 1: of the shower and because he's gonna give me something
Speaker 1: fresh that he couldn't give me five minutes later when
Speaker 1: he got dressed. You never did this. I did that
Speaker 1: a couple of times when when I was in LA
Speaker 1: I went through a couple of like Rams, Dodgers, Angels
Speaker 1: had a regular basis. You had a microphone, but it
Speaker 1: wasn't hooked up to anything. You just went. But I
Speaker 1: would think it be a little more intimates one on
Speaker 1: one in a quot. I don't want intimacy. You're gonna
Speaker 1: give generic responsors to play Kate a whole mask. No,
Speaker 1: no auditorium, Nos, quiet, you know nothing of what you're
Speaker 1: talking about here, intimacy. He came here. Hey, you just
Speaker 1: got out of the shower. Come here. But how do
Speaker 1: you get the exclusive entity after the game that you
Speaker 1: got that that quote for your newspaper saying the same
Speaker 1: thing to everybody in a room of fifty people. I
Speaker 1: can send you into the lock. Well we can't go
Speaker 1: now because the NBA won't allow us. But no, no,
Speaker 1: you can't. It's humiliating when you're there. I had, Oh god, no,
Speaker 1: I don't go into this. Yeah, no, because it's too late.
Speaker 1: I was in Chase Stadium, Mets Cardinals, and I walk
Speaker 1: in and there's one guy in there. He's got his
Speaker 1: bat and he's naked and he's just sitting there and
Speaker 1: I and I just I was going to interview him,
Speaker 1: but I didn't know what to say, like you walk
Speaker 1: in a guy's naked and he's just there holding his
Speaker 1: bat and I went, no, you know now, I just said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'll come back. And then he goes, no, no, go
Speaker 1: I'm good. Now, I go, no, no, you're not. No yeah,
Speaker 1: pot what if he said to him, excuse me, would
Speaker 1: you mind put that thing away? And he puts his
Speaker 1: baseball bat away? No? I mean, yeah, I know. I know.
Speaker 1: There was a guy who wore it a shirt. He
Speaker 1: had Tripod on the back of his shirt and he
Speaker 1: would walk around with his shirt on and nothing else
Speaker 1: on the locker room and I went, what am I
Speaker 1: doing this? This isn't what I signed up for. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's humiliating, Todd your intimate setting. They could just
Speaker 1: throw on our team road for saying they liked the
Speaker 1: fact that everyone's been There were guys who liked making
Speaker 1: you uncomfortable they did, and a guy who didn't like you.
Speaker 1: I had a guy who did not like me, and
Speaker 1: he was getting dressed. He turned and he dropped his
Speaker 1: towel and so his butts right in front. He did
Speaker 1: he mooned me, basically, and then he was getting dressed,
Speaker 1: but he turned and you know, got dressed, bent over
Speaker 1: to you know, put on his pants, and I when
Speaker 1: I message sent right there loud and clear, got you? Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: was it? Maurice Cheeks? No, stop bad god. Now Todd's
Speaker 1: gonna yeah anatomy sports anatomy is worn moon. Oh that's
Speaker 1: too nothing nothing Todd, not good. Frankie Buttocks. I don't
Speaker 1: have anything franky. But that's I'm gonna takeaway to Pauli's
Speaker 1: up four note Yeah, man, got another one. Butts alright
Speaker 1: different you're rallying? Yes, but have you ever heard Todd's
Speaker 1: story about the batting cage interview at the Dodgers? Oh?
Speaker 1: How Daniel? Yeah, I think doing those kind of interviews
Speaker 1: are the hardest thing in the world. Okay, but you're
Speaker 1: at the batting cage. Yeah, it was the start of
Speaker 1: the baseball season and I'm hanging out with the media
Speaker 1: and I'm just twenty one, twenty two years old, just
Speaker 1: excited that I got a Dodger press path to be
Speaker 1: on the field. How did you get that he should?
Speaker 1: And he's taking battery packs? Hey, cal I said Todd
Speaker 1: Fritz with KNPC ready for the season or something stupid
Speaker 1: like that. Nope, right in front of my carry time
Speaker 1: Harry Knews Range, carry Register, Long Beach Press teller. They're
Speaker 1: all looking at me like, why'd you answer that? But
Speaker 1: that's your big question? My big question? Hey, cal ready
Speaker 1: for this year? I didn't know what I was like.
Speaker 1: I wanted to say something. I was just excited to
Speaker 1: be on the field of dodge stating for the first Nope.
Speaker 1: What do you think he was gonna say? I was
Speaker 1: stupid big to say it, but he didn't have to
Speaker 1: be a jerk. I'm like, I just graduate NYU a
Speaker 1: year ago, the besten cal Daniel. It's his fault. You
Speaker 1: should No, I'm I'm a young kid. Because its credential.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna like, oh my god, I'm an I just
Speaker 1: say that I want to talk to a player and
Speaker 1: then he just shoots meet up. Nope. But Todd, don't
Speaker 1: you feel like you could be standing next to the
Speaker 1: batting cage today and say something equally worse. You can
Speaker 1: blame it. I'm being twenty one, but I probably would
Speaker 1: say I'm sorry, you're a taking batting practice. Hey, Mookie,
Speaker 1: ready for the season? Nope? Hey, can you believe I
Speaker 1: got this press pounce? Nope? And they're all giggling, and
Speaker 1: I just wanted it because I gotta get out of here.
Speaker 1: All there, colleague, My colleagues are giggling at me, And
Speaker 1: I remember Parcels was horrible to be around. He wanted
Speaker 1: to embarrass you, and you had to either if you
Speaker 1: had game, you'd better be really good at asking questions
Speaker 1: after a giant's game, and if you didn't, he was
Speaker 1: going to make him melt. The Don Shula moment, so
Speaker 1: one of the great coaches in the history of the sport.
Speaker 1: They lose that dramatic game at the Metal Answer the
Speaker 1: Jets fabulous game, and I go in the locker room
Speaker 1: and Don Shula comes in and I go and Shula's
Speaker 1: just there, and I'm holding my microphone because he gives
Speaker 1: his speech after the loss. There was no press conference,
Speaker 1: so Don Shula is just standing there right as you
Speaker 1: come into the locker room in the visiting locker room
Speaker 1: at the Metal Ends, and everybody was just gathered there,
Speaker 1: and I thought, oh, okay, and I just put my
Speaker 1: microphone there. Don Shula walks in and he speaks for
Speaker 1: about two minutes, and then I pulled the microphone back
Speaker 1: to ask a question, and he walked away and I
Speaker 1: was like, and then I realized that that's all he
Speaker 1: was going to give you. Two minutes. He've done made
Speaker 1: his statement and there was no follow up questions with that.
Speaker 1: But I do not miss going into the locker room,
Speaker 1: but having been in there when teams, like when the
Speaker 1: Lakers beat the Celtics in the Boston Garden, to be
Speaker 1: in there after Magic hit the hook shot, that was memorable.
Speaker 1: To be in the locker room after Jordan won those
Speaker 1: championships was memorable, like it's but it's not humiliating going
Speaker 1: in there on a regular basis. That's where it's humiliating.
Speaker 1: To be in the locker room after the Mets in
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six when they won Game six, and then
Speaker 1: to go back a couple of days later for Game
Speaker 1: seven and be in there the Red Sox winning a
Speaker 1: World Series, like those are great moments. Now, that's when
Speaker 1: it's fun, when you get to witness history there. The
Speaker 1: other part, the mundane, No, I don't miss that at all,
Speaker 1: But I do like the damba. The first step in
Speaker 1: cleaning up the coronavirus, get the media out of the
Speaker 1: locker room, because we're the ones are in a damn
Speaker 1: germs that's the excuse. Blame it on. Yes, I'm the
Speaker 1: non essential personnel. Whoever? Those people they did say, I
Speaker 1: don't feel bad if you know, that's just the media's
Speaker 1: non essential. Who would be non essential personnel here? Who
Speaker 1: isn't a metically and ladies and gentlemen, the non essentials. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, we got trouble brewing in the chat room.
Speaker 1: I you know, I opened this up. I said to Mario,
Speaker 1: let let the people, Let the fans in the chat
Speaker 1: room vote on what they want to be called, and
Speaker 1: we gave them four choices. They came up with four names,
Speaker 1: and the fan ats one and Seton says, there's some
Speaker 1: social unrest there in the chat room. Patrick show, Oh
Speaker 1: is there ever? We're going on day what's today? Wednesday?
Speaker 1: You know day three? You just people a people there
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of people happy in the
Speaker 1: chat room with fan ats okay, because they they said
Speaker 1: that it's kind of demeaning to them. We're aware, we're
Speaker 1: aware that we're aware fan ats, we know, but there's
Speaker 1: a lot of people are in the there would rather
Speaker 1: be chat row instead of like front row back row
Speaker 1: chat row. I'm fine with dad, Yeah, Mario put it.
Speaker 1: You know who blame Mario. Mario is the one that
Speaker 1: put it out and I said, have them vote over
Speaker 1: the weekend. Let's say, yeah, I blame them. They're the
Speaker 1: ones that came up with fan ats, so it's their
Speaker 1: own fault. Yes, he put it out there in the weekend.
Speaker 1: I think the weekend people in there don't match up
Speaker 1: with the people who are there during the week I
Speaker 1: didn't know there's people there during the weekend. Close that
Speaker 1: thing down. Well, I don't want social unrest there. But
Speaker 1: if you guys want to vote on something or you
Speaker 1: just if it's a blanket the chat Row unlike the
Speaker 1: NFL Players Association do, we can have a revote if
Speaker 1: you want to. JJ Watt said, no way in hell.
Speaker 1: If you look right now, I think they're voting because
Speaker 1: there's just thousands of comments flying in everything. It's just
Speaker 1: the words chat row. Yeah, but actually it just it
Speaker 1: looks it's like charto, chatro chat row seat and you're
Speaker 1: the absolute worth chat Mario Mariot. Honestly, you just pick
Speaker 1: out these random things play Mario chat row, chat row,
Speaker 1: chat row. I'm flying with chat row. I try to
Speaker 1: do something nice and this is what happens. No good deed.
Speaker 1: I even said, hey, come up with a T shirt.

Speaker 1: about this that. I don't know what I would grab
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer's heisman. I feel bad if I left that
Speaker 1: behind though it is it is, but I'd probably grabbed
Speaker 1: the heisman. Yes, Pa, you'd probably grab your phone, in

Speaker 1: I get outside and then be glad to see you
Speaker 1: guys when you got outside. I wouldn't help you outside.

Speaker 1: the Lakers game last night, but part of that was
Speaker 1: I don't have to watch the Lakers last night they
Speaker 1: were playing the Nets and I went, Okay, you know,
Speaker 1: they'll probably go through the motions. I'm gonna pick up
Speaker 1: a fifteen point and this is a big deal for
Speaker 1: the Nets and Jacque Vaughn, their interim head coach, and
Speaker 1: they end up beating the Lakers. Lebron missed a lay
Speaker 1: up there in the last minute, Anthony Davis had a
Speaker 1: chance to win the game. Then Lebron still not clutch. MVP.
Speaker 1: Really really, I've already heard from people, Hey, your MVP
Speaker 1: lost to the Nets at home last night, So if
Speaker 1: he makes the basket, then he's the MVP. Is it?
Speaker 1: Is it that close? Like it could It could go
Speaker 1: either way. Yes, mclovin. I think it's so funny. From
Speaker 1: the Brooklyn perspective. They fired Kenny Atkinson. They have Jack
Speaker 1: Vaughn with great players. If he gets hot, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be the coach. And that's not what they really planned, wasn't. No, No,
Speaker 1: They're talking about Tyron lou or even Popovich or something.
Speaker 1: Why would Greg Popovitch leave San Antonio to go to
Speaker 1: the Nets for Kevin Durant, you know, to coach Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: It's compared to Rudy Gayever, he's got down there right now.
Speaker 1: It feels like he likes San Antonio. It feels like
Speaker 1: this is Popovich's last stop. I don't know. He doesn't
Speaker 1: strike me in him. Man, I get a show that
Speaker 1: I can win a title in another place. Oh, I'm
Speaker 1: worried about my legacy. Popovitch doesn't strike me. Go back
Speaker 1: to the Laker game. At the end, Lebron kicked it
Speaker 1: out the Anthony Davis for a three, and he's right
Speaker 1: at the Nets bench. I mean he's he could touch Kevin.
Speaker 1: They rant and those guys and they all yelled at him.
Speaker 1: They all like screen when he got the ball, like hah.
Speaker 1: I was wondering would that be a technical foul on
Speaker 1: the bench if they didn't make physical contact with him?
Speaker 1: And I think it's legal. It's probably just tradition. Well,
Speaker 1: didn't a Rod do that with the pop up in
Speaker 1: the infield? He ran by a short stop and then
Speaker 1: he went, huh he kind of interfered with him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well I didn't touch him. Yeah, vocally he interfered with
Speaker 1: him and then they called him out. But now I
Speaker 1: think given basketball trash talking, you should be able to
Speaker 1: say what you want to say, even if you're on
Speaker 1: the bench. Yeah, it's pretty good though, that's all in
Speaker 1: even Kevin the direct how to get a laugh. I
Speaker 1: thought it was a great basketball play by Lebron James
Speaker 1: because he drew the defenders. Anthony Davis is wide open.
Speaker 1: If he makes the three, it's a great basketball decision. Oh,
Speaker 1: Lebron's got to take it to the hoop. He's a trade.
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis made four seventh from three point range. I look,
Speaker 1: I don't have a referendum nightly on Lebron James. Apparently
Speaker 1: you're supposed to, but I'm not a troll. I just
Speaker 1: look at it with its totality, and to me, I
Speaker 1: still think he's the most Valuable Player. All right. The
Speaker 1: forty nine and fourteen they seem to be doing okay.
Speaker 1: But if Lebron doesn't win the MVP, I still think
Speaker 1: he's going to be doing okay. Dan Walkin caught my
Speaker 1: attention USA Today National columnist, and now he doesn't pick
Speaker 1: the headline. By the way, just an fyi, the writers
Speaker 1: don't pick their headline. Opinion. It's time for NDCIA to
Speaker 1: make the right call. Tough In cancel March madness, and
Speaker 1: Dan joins this. Now, when did you start thinking about
Speaker 1: March Madness being canceled? I started thinking about it yesterday
Speaker 1: when the Ivy League tournament was canceled. We saw a
Speaker 1: number of colleges basically go online only and send kids home,
Speaker 1: talking to administrators and frankly just asking a question which
Speaker 1: I asked at the top of the story, what happens
Speaker 1: if a player test positive for coronavirus? What happens even
Speaker 1: I'm going to Tampa next week, I'm supposed to to
Speaker 1: go cover that regional in Tampa. Let's say, you know,
Speaker 1: Florida State plays Arkansas Little Rock in the first round,
Speaker 1: and Florida State wins and advances, and they're going to
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen, and then four or five days later,
Speaker 1: it comes out that one of the Arkansas Little Rock
Speaker 1: players test positive for coronavirus. Well, the way we're doing
Speaker 1: this now, Congressmen who were in the same room as
Speaker 1: somebody at the convention are in quarantine. Our office today,
Speaker 1: we're orders who were at a conference convention with people
Speaker 1: who test positive for coronavirus. They're in quarantine, and everyone
Speaker 1: in our office is pretty much working from home. That's
Speaker 1: what's happening in the countries. So unless you can answer
Speaker 1: what happens if a player test positive, which does not
Speaker 1: seem that far fetch to me or coach or game
Speaker 1: official or whoever, then I don't know if we really
Speaker 1: should be having this tournament at all. How much of
Speaker 1: this and maybe it's rhetorical, it is based off money
Speaker 1: and the potential for lawsuits. Well, there's a couple things,
Speaker 1: and I don't think any of us are privy to
Speaker 1: the details of what is in the CBS contract with
Speaker 1: the NC Double A and what kind of insurance implications
Speaker 1: there might be if something like this impacted the NC
Speaker 1: Double A tournament. But obviously there's there's financial considerations involved
Speaker 1: on all sides. Frankly, you know, I think these conference turns,
Speaker 1: the SEC, the ACC Big Ten Pact twelve, acting as
Speaker 1: if nothing is happening right now. I think they're being
Speaker 1: deeply irresponsible in holding their tournaments this weekend with fans
Speaker 1: in the stadium. That just doesn't seem very smart. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the SEC dan Vanderbilt University is basically shut down.
Speaker 1: Everyone's been sent home. They're holding the SEC tournament a
Speaker 1: mile from Vanderbilt's campus with players from Vanderbilt involved in
Speaker 1: the tournament. So given just how little we know about
Speaker 1: the virus and how bad it's going to get, I
Speaker 1: think that these decisions need to take a much wider
Speaker 1: view here than just money. Yeah. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what is the next step, because you know,
Speaker 1: when I saw the IVY League canceled it's tournament, you
Speaker 1: know that's not a big revenue, a moneymaker there, and
Speaker 1: it's four schools that were affected by this. But then
Speaker 1: Yale is going to go to March Madness, so you
Speaker 1: couldn't have Yale playing a game in its conference tournament.
Speaker 1: But the NC Double A are like nobody, Yale doesn't
Speaker 1: have any jurisdiction over this to say you can't go.
Speaker 1: I'm confused about this. It feels a little hypocritical that
Speaker 1: they can't play in that tournament, but they can play
Speaker 1: in this tournament. Yeah, and there's other teams at some
Speaker 1: of these IVY League schools who are going and playing games. Uh. Look,
Speaker 1: I think the rationale is that there's a certain critical
Speaker 1: mass where the number of people in a gathering you
Speaker 1: have you know, ten men's and women's teams and all
Speaker 1: the staff and all that in one place, that that
Speaker 1: constitutes a risk and on to those campuses, and so
Speaker 1: I sort of understand that versus you know, one team
Speaker 1: playing one team. Um, if that's the rationale they're going
Speaker 1: to use. But again, I mean, like, all these NC
Speaker 1: Double A tournament sites next week, and this is I
Speaker 1: think just not what is being talked about nearly enough.
Speaker 1: The fans is one thing, and frankly, at this point,
Speaker 1: I'd be a little surprised if if they are going
Speaker 1: to allow fans in these stadiums at least for next week,
Speaker 1: but all these different sites are going to have eight
Speaker 1: different teams. That's a lot of people in one building,
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of given what we know about
Speaker 1: about the spread of this thing. So I just think
Speaker 1: there's not enough attention being paid to that and the players.
Speaker 1: I mean, again, what happens if a player gets is
Speaker 1: what what what kind of risk does that present to
Speaker 1: the NC Double A. Can we be overly cautious in
Speaker 1: a situation like this, Well, look, I think it's a
Speaker 1: tough thing to balance overreacting and underreacting. The fear I
Speaker 1: have as a fear the calculation that in my mind
Speaker 1: makes it make sense to me to delay or cancel
Speaker 1: these big sporting events. Is because we just don't have
Speaker 1: testing readily available in the country right now. We don't
Speaker 1: know how many people have it, we don't know what
Speaker 1: the growth rate is, so there's a good chance we
Speaker 1: could be looking up in a week and this thing
Speaker 1: has spiraled in terms of numbers of infections, numbers of clusters,
Speaker 1: different cities. Who knows what that's going to look like.
Speaker 1: So there has to be a point where if that
Speaker 1: gets bad enough that you have to take drastic steps
Speaker 1: as a country to control this, to slow the spread
Speaker 1: of this, like Italy, right, That's what's happened in Italy,
Speaker 1: just so that their society can function, so that their
Speaker 1: healthcare system could deal with with the strain of a
Speaker 1: lot of very sick people, even if a young, healthy
Speaker 1: person would not necessarily be be at risk. So I mean,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's just so many things that I think
Speaker 1: it's tough for us to wrap our minds around because
Speaker 1: it hasn't hit us like that yet. Best guests on
Speaker 1: what you think happens to the NCAA tournament. Yeah again,
Speaker 1: and this what you what I say right now could
Speaker 1: be different in three hours or ten hours or twenty
Speaker 1: four hours, But I would say, it's going to be
Speaker 1: difficult for the nc double A to put this tournament
Speaker 1: on next week with fans in the stadiums. What if
Speaker 1: there's a step beyond that, we'll see. I don't know
Speaker 1: that they have to make that decision today, but they
Speaker 1: need to make it soon, and the tone of their
Speaker 1: statement yesterday afternoon certainly indicated that the big and tough
Speaker 1: decisions could be coming. Dan, thanks for joining us. We
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Thank you. That's Dan walkin USA today
Speaker 1: National columnists saying it's time for the NCAA to make
Speaker 1: the right call, a tough call, cancel March madness. I
Speaker 1: know it feels like it's overreacting, but and a lot
Speaker 1: of what I've read is, boy, wouldn't you rather overreact
Speaker 1: to something than underreact to something, because when you underreact,
Speaker 1: you know what those results could be could be alarming. Overreacting.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can overreact in a situation
Speaker 1: right now because there's so much uncertainty here. And if
Speaker 1: you want to go to a sporting event, great, you
Speaker 1: know you know I would, I would want to go
Speaker 1: right now. But you know, I can understand where you
Speaker 1: would have some concerns because we don't have answers, we
Speaker 1: don't have a test yet. I feel a whole lot
Speaker 1: better if we had more information that we could base
Speaker 1: this on instead of going, hey, nothing will happen to me.
Speaker 1: I'm healthy. Okay, it's not you that may be affected
Speaker 1: by this, but somebody you come in contact with who
Speaker 1: isn't healthy. There's a lot of tentacles to it, and
Speaker 1: it's not easy. It's not an easy decision with any
Speaker 1: of these leagues, these commissioners, these sports, and even where
Speaker 1: baseball is looking at flipping. Hey, you know, there's an
Speaker 1: outbreak in Seattle, so we can't have Seattle. Who's baseball
Speaker 1: series against the Rangers? Have it in Arlington? Who knows
Speaker 1: By the time, you know, we get to the end
Speaker 1: of March, what's going on in Arlington, we don't know.
Speaker 1: I think the NBA will get to point where they
Speaker 1: have games where there's nobody in the arena. I truly
Speaker 1: believe that. I think that's where we're headed. All Right,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. We'll come back with your phone
Speaker 1: calls and an interesting Well. I got an update last
Speaker 1: night on Tom Brady, and I promise you I know
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not trolling. I just want to give
Speaker 1: you an update with what I hear. That's all sources now.
Speaker 1: I just a source was telling me last night, so
Speaker 1: I'll have that for you. I cringe even when I
Speaker 1: bring this up because it just feels like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: check the box. You know your analytics say you got
Speaker 1: to talk about Dak Prescott's contract, Lebron losing to the Nets,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady rumors. I think we'll check that box.

Speaker 1: see all our wonderful sponsors that help make this show possible.
Speaker 1: Thank you for downloading, subscribing, and of course supporting, and
Speaker 1: now back to the show. All right, then Tom Brady rumors. Now,
Speaker 1: I try to separate fact from fiction here, but I
Speaker 1: reached out to a source last night, well traveled source,
Speaker 1: and I just said, got an update on Brady, and
Speaker 1: then I put a smiley face on there, and he
Speaker 1: came back and he said, I don't think there are
Speaker 1: as many teams interested as Tom and Tom as have
Speaker 1: been previously reported. And I go back to Jeff Darlington,
Speaker 1: who I'm not going to question his skills as a reporter,
Speaker 1: but I think he said upwards of eight teams have
Speaker 1: expressed interest in Brady or are interested or Brady's interested
Speaker 1: in them. I can't keep track of too much of
Speaker 1: this anymore, but I was told that it's probably more
Speaker 1: like two or three teams that are really interested in
Speaker 1: Brady and one of those teams is Tampa Bay, and
Speaker 1: my source said, Tampa, you know, wants to be in
Speaker 1: love with Brady, but they don't know if Brady wants
Speaker 1: to be in love with Tampa. Because if you're Tom,
Speaker 1: were are you going to go? Could we get to
Speaker 1: the point where Tom Brady has one option and that
Speaker 1: is to go back to the Patriots. That's what my
Speaker 1: source said last night, and he's said all along that
Speaker 1: he could see Brady is capable of walking away from
Speaker 1: the Patriots, and Belichick is capable of walking away from Brady.
Speaker 1: And he thinks Brady goes back to the Patriots and
Speaker 1: the Patriots either trade for backup quarterback or they draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he thinks that that's the more likely scenario.
Speaker 1: He thinks Tennessee is going to resign Tannehill, and I went, okay,
Speaker 1: because they're looking at you know, Tannehill. His numbers are similar,
Speaker 1: probably better than Brady's. But you know, it's a smaller
Speaker 1: sample size, I believe, And you know, if you're going
Speaker 1: to try to make a run at who you have
Speaker 1: with what got you to the AFC title game, then
Speaker 1: you know that might be the smart thing to do.
Speaker 1: It looks like the Raiders are going to stay with
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. The one wild card I think is the Chargers.
Speaker 1: The Chargers need Tom Brady, they need they need to
Speaker 1: be relevant or either that or you get Tah. But
Speaker 1: if you're the like Justin Herbert, doesn't make you relevant
Speaker 1: going into a new stadium, TUA does. Tuah gives you
Speaker 1: some buzz, and the Chargers need that. Brady might not
Speaker 1: be the right quarterback for the Chargers, but you're looking
Speaker 1: for some kind of validity. You want to be relevant here,
Speaker 1: and you're not the Raiders. You know, John Gruden always
Speaker 1: loves the quarterback he doesn't have Oh it just that's
Speaker 1: John Gruden. But I don't I would keep Derek Carr
Speaker 1: over Tom Brady. Now you're going into Vegas. I still
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be buzz going into Vegas with or
Speaker 1: without Brady, because it's Vegas and it's the Raiders. Now
Speaker 1: you start to look at these teams and you go, Okay,
Speaker 1: how many teams are really interested in Tom Brady? Two
Speaker 1: or three? That's what it feels like. I know. I've
Speaker 1: been told, I've been reminded there's a mystery team out there. Okay,
Speaker 1: is that mystery team, the Colds, Because if I'm the Colds,
Speaker 1: do I want to bring in Tom Brady? Yeah? If
Speaker 1: I guess you know, when I take him over Philip Rivers,
Speaker 1: it's probably a toss up. I'd probably take Brady because
Speaker 1: he wins games, you know, big games, important games. Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers does not. But do you take Jacoby Brissette? You know?
Speaker 1: Then I got the Chargers who tell me that tay
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's our guy. Oh okay, I love Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 1: I'm on record he's saying that. But that's not your future. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Point going back to the Titans, you said, Ryan Tannehill,
Speaker 1: you you expect him to stay your shorts expects the state.
Speaker 1: If you're Tannehill, you made some really good dough in
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins, you kind of had your career reborn.
Speaker 1: Would you be extra friendly with this contract to stay
Speaker 1: with the Titans because he's very popular in that town.
Speaker 1: Now he's they are all in his pocket. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like remember case Keenum a few years ago with
Speaker 1: the Vikings now and they didn't stick with them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you were if you're Ryan, would you make it easy? Yes?
Speaker 1: I would go. Hey, you know you let me know
Speaker 1: when you want me to sign. I would be over
Speaker 1: at the owner's doorstep, you know, just you know, just
Speaker 1: sitting outside in your car, just waiting so you can resign. A. J.
Speaker 1: Brown is the Titans wide receiver. He was on Serious
Speaker 1: x M NFL radio and he was asked if he
Speaker 1: would rather have Ryan Tannehill or Tom Brady at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Of course we want Ryan back, you know, of course.
Speaker 1: And I got him through with him already, so I'm
Speaker 1: going to be here two. I feel like it had
Speaker 1: just it'll grow more. But you know, unfortunately your things
Speaker 1: don't go. It's playing, you know, and you get Tom
Speaker 1: Brady or whatever. Like, who wouldn't want to play over
Speaker 1: with Tom Brady and get them gun It's like, uh,
Speaker 1: you know how to do it. He's go on Super
Speaker 1: Bowls and uh, And I really want to be around
Speaker 1: even if I don't even play with him. I just
Speaker 1: want to just have a come of seations with him,
Speaker 1: to start to pick his brain and see how he
Speaker 1: does things. But you know, we're reports enough to get
Speaker 1: tom Brady this year. It will be insane. But brothers, whoever,
Speaker 1: whoever we get, I just wanted them just kind of
Speaker 1: just to hurry. Yea, so I could dope my quarterback
Speaker 1: will be year. That's A J. Brown, the Titans wide receiver.
Speaker 1: I give him credit. He covered his bases there. Of course,
Speaker 1: you want to play with Tom Brady. Ryan Tannehill, he
Speaker 1: already played with Okay, you know what you have there,
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. That's different. But I give him credit for
Speaker 1: his answer because that was an honest answer. Yeah, mccleovin,
Speaker 1: that sort of a can't win it question for that guy.
Speaker 1: What if Tom Brady does Yeah, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: Brady's announced, you know, when started free agency. Now that's
Speaker 1: when A J. Brown goes, Hey, I'm gonna miss Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: But I certainly love having Tom Brady in here. I
Speaker 1: heard to say about how much the Titans wide receivers
Speaker 1: have developed, but they did throw it. They barely threw
Speaker 1: them all in the playoffs. Well, who tried to hide
Speaker 1: their quarterback more the forty nine ers in the playoffs
Speaker 1: or the Titans in the playoffs, Because that's the feeling.
Speaker 1: And then I asked about the Niners, and I don't know,
Speaker 1: it felt like that that thing is just sort of
Speaker 1: dissipating there, I said. But nobody. Kyle Shanahan hasn't come
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, unless I missed this with the coronavirus,
Speaker 1: that Jimmy Garoppolo is our guy. We wish Tom the
Speaker 1: best of luck wherever he goes, you know, something along
Speaker 1: those lines. But I haven't heard anything, so I guess
Speaker 1: it's still open. Who knows. But that was just the
Speaker 1: update that I got last night, So use it however
Speaker 1: you want to. Dan, and North Carolina joins us. Hi, Dan, Hey,
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Great? Five, one fifty, Thank

Speaker 1: stadium after another, like the Roy Williams Court at Dean
Speaker 1: Smith Center, you know, and they didn't do that. It's
Speaker 1: kind of like a little bit of each I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I I get it. I want you guys to
Speaker 1: be proud of what you're named. The Danance didn't get
Speaker 1: to pick Danans. Reggie Miller gave them that name. Yes,
Speaker 1: the fanants and chat row have already turned on that call.
Speaker 1: So Jimmy, don't you might not want to hit in
Speaker 1: the chat row right now? That Dan in North Carolina
Speaker 1: is the one who said we're fanets working in the
Speaker 1: chat row. He's getting eaten alive right now, vicious. Don't
