Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Good morning everyone. That's right. It's Chris, Bruce
Speaker 1: Hard and Jason and McIntire my man, Jay Mack. We
Speaker 1: are filling in for Dan Patrick here on the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show, and we can't wait. There is so much
Speaker 1: to talk about, so much fun to be had over
Speaker 1: the next three hours, so keep it locked right here.
Speaker 1: We got Vincent Goodwill, senior NBA writer for Yahoo Sports,
Speaker 1: coming up at the bottom of the hour to fill
Speaker 1: us in on all things NBA as teams arrive in
Speaker 1: Orlando and that infamous bubble. Let me welcome in my partner,
Speaker 1: Jay Mack. What's up, man? How are yo? Chris? Good
Speaker 1: to hear your voice, man, Good to chat again. It's
Speaker 1: been a couple of weeks since we've done this together,
Speaker 1: hesn't Yes, Yes, I had you on the Odd Couple
Speaker 1: filling in for Rod Parker. That's always a lot of
Speaker 1: fun with you. So I'm looking forward to these next
Speaker 1: few hours. We got Patrick Mahomes stuff, We we got
Speaker 1: On Jackson stuff, we got Cam Newton stuff, we got
Speaker 1: Lebron James stuff. We even have I don't know if
Speaker 1: you remember that song. Yeah, are you familiar with the
Speaker 1: Gap band? What is it something more of your seventies
Speaker 1: music that I don't know anything? So you're you're absolutely
Speaker 1: you're not familiar with the Gap band? Am not? I
Speaker 1: mean maybe maybe don't say that to anybody else. The
Speaker 1: Gap people know that you've never heard of the Gap?
Speaker 1: Is that something I should be embarrassed about? Chris? How
Speaker 1: about this? What's more embarrassing the Gap band or the
Speaker 1: prison platters that the NBA is serving up in the bubble.
Speaker 1: I'm sure you saw the players putting their food on
Speaker 1: Instagram last night. That's embarrassing, Chris, not me not knowing
Speaker 1: the Gap. They're band. They're both embarrassing. They're both embarrassing.
Speaker 1: But one of the Gap Band's biggest hits was you
Speaker 1: dropped the Bomb with Me? I know that song? Yes,
Speaker 1: Kenny Smith, Kenny the Jet Smith from TNT fame and
Speaker 1: all of that, two time NBA champion, he came on
Speaker 1: the Eye Couple on Monday with me and Rod Parker
Speaker 1: and dropped a bomb on us. He pulled a Gap band.
Speaker 1: So we will get into that later as well. So
Speaker 1: a lot of good stuff for you here, and let's
Speaker 1: start with the story of the week. The biggest contract,
Speaker 1: the richest contract in American sports history, five hundred and
Speaker 1: three million dollars Patrick Mahomes. And look, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I was the first one to say it, but
Speaker 1: I was the first one I ever heard say it,
Speaker 1: and I said it a long time ago that Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes has Jordanesque potential, that Patrick Mahomes could be the goat.
Speaker 1: All right, he could every blue moon. I'm not saying
Speaker 1: he is the goat. He's obviously, that's ridiculous. He only
Speaker 1: got one ring, he's only played two years as a starter.
Speaker 1: That's foolishness. But every generation or so, a player or
Speaker 1: two comes along that has goat potential. Whether they reach
Speaker 1: it or not, we'll see, but they have the potential,
Speaker 1: and you see it right away. With Lebron James, we
Speaker 1: saw it said in high school he could one day
Speaker 1: be the goat. And with Patrick Mahomes, I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: I'm saying this guy's got gold potential. And that's just
Speaker 1: repeating what I've said for over a year now. And
Speaker 1: so this is my point, j Mack. He just signed
Speaker 1: this huge deal, and I know people have been picking
Speaker 1: it apart, and maybe it's not quite as lucrative as
Speaker 1: it seems, and maybe it's even team friendly, and it
Speaker 1: appears that it is, which is not a bad thing.
Speaker 1: But whatever the case, let's assume he's in Kansas City
Speaker 1: the next twelve years. If Patrick Mahomes is not firmly,
Speaker 1: firmly in the goat conversation at the end of this deal,
Speaker 1: then it was a disappointment. And that what I mean
Speaker 1: by that is to get into gold conversation, I think
Speaker 1: he has to win at least three Super Bowls. He's
Speaker 1: got one, so he's got to win at least two more,
Speaker 1: huh three? How many? How many Bradies got six? But
Speaker 1: here's the difference. He Mahomes his numbers. You know, presuming
Speaker 1: he continues roughly on this path, doesn't have any serious
Speaker 1: injuries that keep him out for a few years anything
Speaker 1: like that, his numbers will dwarf Bradies, and not just
Speaker 1: because they're throwing the football more, but because his his
Speaker 1: numbers relative to his competition will be far higher than
Speaker 1: Bradies were relative. So it's not about rings in the NFL.
Speaker 1: It's a combinations. Well, I know, you want to lead,
Speaker 1: you want to try to use this to somehow get
Speaker 1: into Lebron's better than Oh, I don't need to try.
Speaker 1: It's both sports, NBA and NFL. Here's what you need.
Speaker 1: You need a combination of individual dominance statistically and winning,
Speaker 1: winning at an incredibly high level. If Bill Russell had
Speaker 1: anything close to Will Chamberlain's numbers, it be over. There
Speaker 1: would be no goat discussion. It would be Bill Russell.
Speaker 1: But his individual numbers weren't all that eye popping outside
Speaker 1: of rebounds, and unfortunately for him, they didn't keep block
Speaker 1: shots at that time. So he's not the goat because
Speaker 1: of his his individual numbers aren't that that. Jordan's got
Speaker 1: the perfect combination. Mahomes can have the perfect combination where
Speaker 1: he won't necessarily need six to pass Brady. I think
Speaker 1: that's a little premature to get this goat thing. Jan
Speaker 1: I mean two years at okay, Well, I got a
Speaker 1: better comparison. Three, it's it's early. I have a better.
Speaker 1: The better comparison for Patrick Mahomes and this is undeniable.
Speaker 1: This is the slam dunk comparison. Based on what we've
Speaker 1: seen so far, is that he the Steph Curry of
Speaker 1: the NFL. Steph Curry just like Patrick Mahomes kind of
Speaker 1: an unheralded college star, kind of an undervalued recruit in
Speaker 1: high school. We knew in high school Jordan was gonna
Speaker 1: be a star. Steph Curry in high school could not
Speaker 1: get an offer. Hold on, you can't, I can't. This
Speaker 1: is a fact. We knew Jordan was gonna be a star.
Speaker 1: North Carolina was recruiting that. No, we knew that high
Speaker 1: school history. I know that he was crazy for going
Speaker 1: to North Carolina. They did. North Carolina recruited him. Steph
Speaker 1: Curry could not get an offer from Virginia Tech. They
Speaker 1: asked him to walk on. Patrick Mahomes did not get
Speaker 1: any looks from the big boys. Patrick Mahomes went to
Speaker 1: Texas Tech and one like a handful of games. His
Speaker 1: one loss record was nothing special. Okay, Steph Curry. Steph
Speaker 1: Curry missed the hold on, Chris, you had your turn.
Speaker 1: Steph Curry missed the NCAA Tournament his third year at Davidson,
Speaker 1: didn't even get to the postseason. Okay, Steph Curry comes
Speaker 1: and is drafted behind Johnny Flynn and Ricky Rubio who
Speaker 1: Johnny Flynn was out of the league in three years.
Speaker 1: He had a hip injury. Ricky Rubio's never met his
Speaker 1: lofty comparisons coming out of Europe. Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes goes
Speaker 1: after Mitch Trubisky. The Bears traded up for Trubisky. Obviously,
Speaker 1: people are are saying quietly, Oh yeah, McIntire's right. And
Speaker 1: the light skin factor of course Steph Curry, you know,
Speaker 1: and Patrick Mahomes, and they both had parents who played
Speaker 1: professional athletes. Curry and Mahomes is the perfect comparison. Both
Speaker 1: of these guys hit the NFL like their respective sports
Speaker 1: like comets. Remember as Steph Curry, he actually did, he
Speaker 1: won two MVP awards in Lebron's prime. What did Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes do? Patrick Mahomes just interrupted the end of the
Speaker 1: Tom Brady coronation. Okay, remember Tom Brady has dominated the
Speaker 1: NFL Chris for two decades, and here is comes Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes who sits out here year, which is unheard of
Speaker 1: him to sit out a year, then be the MVP,
Speaker 1: then win the Super Bowl MVP. It's like, hey Brady,
Speaker 1: people have forgotten about Tom Brady because Patrick Mahomes just
Speaker 1: got the richest contract in American sports history. I think
Speaker 1: it's a slam dunk. Steph Curry and Patrick Mahomes will
Speaker 1: be forever linked as what they are in the NBA
Speaker 1: in NFL. All right, here, look, obviously there's some similarities.
Speaker 1: You're right about the college career. What I was saying
Speaker 1: is Jordan. Anybody that knows Jordan's history knows that in
Speaker 1: high school he was not viewed as this surefire star
Speaker 1: coming out of high school, and that people were shocked
Speaker 1: that he went to North Carolina, shocked that he started
Speaker 1: all that. Now once he got into college, he took off.
Speaker 1: That's all I was saying. But you're right. The comparison
Speaker 1: as far as college to the end, the pros is
Speaker 1: obviously more in line with Steph Curry and Pat Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Obviously you got the light skinned factor as well. Here's
Speaker 1: where you're wrong, though, Steph Curry did not hit the
Speaker 1: NBA like a comet. He averaged seventeen points. Is a
Speaker 1: rookie very good, but not not Patrick mahomes numbers. He
Speaker 1: average eighteen points the next year, fifteen points less than
Speaker 1: fifteen points his third year. It wasn't until his sixth
Speaker 1: year that he was a star by then. But he
Speaker 1: didn't become a superstar when the MVP and the NBA
Speaker 1: Finals until his sixth year. So Mahomes is off to
Speaker 1: a much better start than Pat Mahomes than Steph Curry is.
Speaker 1: Jordan came into the league like a comment. And that's
Speaker 1: where Mahomes. We knew right away as soon as Jordan
Speaker 1: lays him up. In fact, Bobby Knight said it before
Speaker 1: he put on an NBA uniform. This is the best
Speaker 1: player and I've ever seen play basketball. So we knew
Speaker 1: right away that Jordan had a chance to be the
Speaker 1: greatest we've ever seen. And we know that with Mahomes
Speaker 1: as well. And here's where your comparison really falls flat.
Speaker 1: As great as Steph Curry is and I love him,
Speaker 1: he is, he will never be in the goat conversation.
Speaker 1: Never never, He's he's he's kind of in it to
Speaker 1: some people, not most, but kinda in it at his
Speaker 1: position with Magic Johnson, but it's clearly magic right now.
Speaker 1: But he will never be in the goat conversation, and
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes will be. I mean, Chris, it's been two years.
Speaker 1: He doesn't have thirty starts under his belt. He's not.
Speaker 1: His goat stuff is a little silly. It's two years
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean yeah, okay, fifteen years Hey, Chris, Chris,
Speaker 1: we as a mayor, as humans have, they do a
Speaker 1: very poor job of predicting the future. Okay, ten years ago,
Speaker 1: ten years ago, FS one, Fox Sports Trading, you had
Speaker 1: no clue you would be here. Ten years ago. I
Speaker 1: had no clue I would be here. Ten years ago,
Speaker 1: five years ago, you had no idea what the future
Speaker 1: would hold. How why would we predict who's going to
Speaker 1: be the goat twelve years from now? What will hold on? Silly?
Speaker 1: People were doing it. You're saying this silly because you
Speaker 1: got no answer for it. People, I mean, there is
Speaker 1: You can't be right or wrong. People were not saying
Speaker 1: It's like people were saying when Lebron James entered the league,
Speaker 1: he could be the goal. I'm not saying my hole,
Speaker 1: but it's the goal. Nobody credible said that he could
Speaker 1: be a great basketball player. He could be phenomenal, a
Speaker 1: great basketball player. Please. He was the first player to
Speaker 1: come out of high school and average twenty points a game.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. He was the first. You don't get putting
Speaker 1: a goat discussion. You can't just climb in the ring
Speaker 1: with Muhammad Ali. Chris, stop you can't put Mahomes in
Speaker 1: Brady's goat category. It doesn't work like that. No, I
Speaker 1: agree with you that he's not there yet. Could he?
Speaker 1: Could Trevor Lawrence to be the goat? I want you
Speaker 1: to listen to me. Mezion be the goat? I knows
Speaker 1: done in twenty five games, he shattered every record in
Speaker 1: the league. After twenty five games? Could he be to
Speaker 1: go I want you to listen to me. I want
Speaker 1: you to listen to me. I said, at the end
Speaker 1: of this twelve years, listen closely. Don't don't pull out
Speaker 1: something I'm not saying. I'm saying if he is not
Speaker 1: in the goat conversation by the end of this twelve years,
Speaker 1: That's what I said. I didn't say he's there now,
Speaker 1: stop it. Who's in there? Let's okay, let's back up,
Speaker 1: let's go, let's hit on that. Who else currently has
Speaker 1: goat potential? Let me ask you. Trevor Lawrence, the Clemson
Speaker 1: quarterback not even in the NFL yet, but people are
Speaker 1: talking about him potentially being the greatest quarterback to enter
Speaker 1: the league since Andrew Luck maybe since Peyton Manning. Can
Speaker 1: we put Trevor Lawrence in the goat category. Yet I'm
Speaker 1: not putting Mahomes in the goat category. I'm saying he's
Speaker 1: got goat potential, and I don't I Trevor Lawrence has
Speaker 1: great potential. I wouldn't go there. Yet. Who else has
Speaker 1: goat potential? Okay, let's go there. I haven't seen a
Speaker 1: quarterback yet with goat potential. Aaron Rodgers. No, it's too late,
Speaker 1: it's too late. It's never too he had it, he
Speaker 1: had it, well, you gotta win. Well, it's not his
Speaker 1: fault that the Packers camp with Jack squat around him.
Speaker 1: You gotta have the rings. Well, So now it goes
Speaker 1: back to rings us both. Why what I don't under
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I'll get y'all twisted. Chris here, he could
Speaker 1: get it with three, but he doesn't have the numbers
Speaker 1: that Adam Mahomes will have. See, it's a combination, a
Speaker 1: very delicate thing. It's a mixture of the individual dominance
Speaker 1: in the rings. And now, if if Rogers gets three
Speaker 1: more rings, which I think is unrealistic, yeah, we could
Speaker 1: throw him in there because he's certainly got the ability.
Speaker 1: But it's getting late in the game. I think it's okay,
Speaker 1: here's a more realistic question. In the next ten years,
Speaker 1: will the Chiefs go to three Super Bowls? Yes, unequivocally yes, Okay,
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I think with Brady leaving, Okay,
Speaker 1: with Breeze leaving, with Ben ro Felisberger leaving, we're seeing
Speaker 1: like a changing of the guard at quarterback. And I
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson, Chris, I know you do as well.
Speaker 1: He's an fun, dynamic player. He hasn't won a playoff
Speaker 1: game yet, so I don't know if his what he's done,
Speaker 1: what he did last year, which was phenomenal, I don't
Speaker 1: know if that translates five years, six years from down
Speaker 1: plus the style of him running a lot. So when
Speaker 1: you look at now he can throw. We know that.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Lamar Jackson can't throw great. Other than
Speaker 1: the Chiefs and Mahomes, what is there? Like, who else
Speaker 1: is the competition over the next five years. You're looking,
Speaker 1: I mean you look up and down the landscape. I
Speaker 1: gotta say, like the door is wide open for them
Speaker 1: to do some major damage. There's just not a lot
Speaker 1: of good teams right now. Say you raised up your voice,
Speaker 1: you started yelling, you were interrupting me. You purposely came
Speaker 1: up with a different comparison just to combat me. But
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're agreeing with me.
Speaker 1: You went all the way around the Marberry Bush to
Speaker 1: just come to this conclusion. Chris, you're right. Well I
Speaker 1: said next five years, no, no, no, I okay, let
Speaker 1: no say over the next five I think definitely the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the next five they could go to three.
Speaker 1: We saw the Cowboys go to three and four years.
Speaker 1: We saw us Russell Wilson go back to back then
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten back. We saw Montana. I think he did
Speaker 1: four in eight years. So yeah, next five years, I
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs for sure. Beyond that, I think it's
Speaker 1: a predict that I'm not. I'm saying they'll be at
Speaker 1: least they'll they'll definitely be the three Super Bowls. He
Speaker 1: will have three super Bowl wins. Remember, let's just go
Speaker 1: back this. Dan Marino in year two was incredible, went
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl with the Dolphins, and everybody was predicting, oh,
Speaker 1: hes gonna win many, he could be the goat. And
Speaker 1: he never got back to the Super Bowl. So things happened.
Speaker 1: The NFL's crazy NFL stands for not for long ready
Speaker 1: to pick predict three Super Bowl appearances in five years.
Speaker 1: I think it's very possible. But you say it's a
Speaker 1: sure thing. I can't go there. I will. That's I
Speaker 1: feel confident. I feel more confident and well dead. I'm
Speaker 1: just giving you history. History is a guy that we use, Chris.
Speaker 1: Not everybody goes to one and goes to a ton.
Speaker 1: I'm just glad we agree that the best comparison for
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes Steph Curry off the court, light skinned professional athlete. Uh,
Speaker 1: you're right, late Bloomer. I'll give you all that, but
Speaker 1: dynamic career arc. Come on, you know it's jordanst that's
Speaker 1: what he's shooting for. But here's the thing. Jordan never
Speaker 1: won anything until Scotti Pippen showed him. Didn't win a
Speaker 1: damn thing. Patrick Mahomes don't need any He doesn't until
Speaker 1: he got the way Wade and then Kyrie Irving. So
Speaker 1: well I did. I didn't bring up Lebron, you just did.
Speaker 1: I'm saying Steph Curry led the Warriors to their first title.
Speaker 1: That does that? Wait, wait, are you trying to say
Speaker 1: he's the goat? No, okay, I'm saying the better comparison
Speaker 1: for Mahomes is Curry period. All right, Yeah, we only
Speaker 1: have whatever. Let's get an extra hour because we got
Speaker 1: too much good stuff. Ever helps you sleep at night? Man, facts,
Speaker 1: that's what helps. Just a fact. Baby. Will past president
Speaker 1: predict prevent the Eagles from cutting this Sean Jackson. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that next on The Dan Patrick Show. It's
Speaker 1: Chris and j Mack Keep it locked. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show week
Speaker 1: days at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio and the iHeart Radio app. That's just for you.
Speaker 1: J Matt Gap Band all right, Yes, I'm familiar with
Speaker 1: their work. I'm always educating you sports, music, life, everything.
Speaker 1: All right, It is Jay Matt, Jason McIntire, and Chris
Speaker 1: Bruce already in for Dan Patrick. This is the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show, and we brought to you by Mercedes Bins.
Speaker 1: What's the difference between an AMG skeptic and an AMG believer?
Speaker 1: A split second. That's the time it takes to fire
Speaker 1: up the ignition, step on the gas and hear that
Speaker 1: gutsy engine roar. Go to MBUSA dot com slash AMG
Speaker 1: Mercedes AMG Driving Performance. All right, let's stay in the
Speaker 1: NFL j Mack, but go to uh, certainly a story
Speaker 1: that is not as as fun and enjoyable to talk
Speaker 1: about as Patrick mahone. Yes, Deshaun Jackson on for those
Speaker 1: that I can't believe, though there's many out there that
Speaker 1: don't know. But yesterday he put out an instagram of
Speaker 1: it was a quote and apparently a fake quote, yes,
Speaker 1: that that was attributed to Adolf Hitler about Jews taking
Speaker 1: over the world and so on and so forth. And
Speaker 1: obviously he rightly got a lot of pushback on that,
Speaker 1: and he came out in apologized and here's the here
Speaker 1: he is with his some of his apology. Y'all just
Speaker 1: want to first off, extend the apology on the behalf
Speaker 1: of me and what I stand for, because I never
Speaker 1: want to put any race down or any people down.
Speaker 1: My post was definitely not intended for any anybody of
Speaker 1: any race to feel any type of way, especially the
Speaker 1: George community. All Right, and the Eagles released a strong,
Speaker 1: stern statement obviously disagreeing in condemning what Jackson did. The
Speaker 1: question people are asking now, Jay Mack is what repercussions
Speaker 1: will there be for him? Will he get cut, will
Speaker 1: he get suspended? Will he get fine. Here's what I say.
Speaker 1: Now we know the Eagles had a situation like this
Speaker 1: with Riley Cooper a few years ago, White ride receiver
Speaker 1: for them, who used the N word and was at
Speaker 1: a Country Western conference and said he fight all all
Speaker 1: these in words out there and he was not cut.
Speaker 1: He was fined heavily and ended up playing a few
Speaker 1: more years with the team. The locker room Michael Vick
Speaker 1: led the way they forgave him, and they moved on
Speaker 1: from there. I think with that precedent being set, that
Speaker 1: that is what will happen with DeShawn Jackson. He'll get fined,
Speaker 1: but he'll he will remain with the Philadelphia Eagles because
Speaker 1: that precedent was set. I would agree that's a smart move.
Speaker 1: And Chris, I'm not going to speak to the Cooper
Speaker 1: as much as I am. Just this whole idea that
Speaker 1: anytime somebody says something out of pocket or stupid or
Speaker 1: wrong or factually incorrect, we just want to cancel him
Speaker 1: and get him out of here. Fire this person, get
Speaker 1: rid of that person, buy audio. See Chris, like, at
Speaker 1: some point we have to educate people and say, yo, Deshaun,
Speaker 1: I know you're kind of a young guy. What is
Speaker 1: he thirty thirty one years old? You shouldn't be sharing
Speaker 1: fake stuff on the internet. Maybe do some research, but
Speaker 1: we've got to help. He apparently thought it was you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be sharing stuff from him, Like, first of all,
Speaker 1: that's just dumpy. But this is a guy who we
Speaker 1: know his history. Okay, remember chip Kelly got him the
Speaker 1: heck out of town when he got chip Kelly got
Speaker 1: to the Eagles because there were some gang rumors of
Speaker 1: DeShawn Jackie. He's like, I gotta get this guy out
Speaker 1: of here. He's toxic in our locker room. Can the
Speaker 1: locker room overcome this? I think certainly it can. You know,
Speaker 1: as long as John Jackson appears contrite and he already
Speaker 1: called the owner called the GM. But this idea that
Speaker 1: like we should just dump everybody for something they say,
Speaker 1: there's something wrong with that if we're not gonna help
Speaker 1: each other out there because people say a lot of
Speaker 1: stupid stuff. You do, I do, Rob Parker does, everybody
Speaker 1: at Fox Sports Radio, everybody, our rival networks, everybody has
Speaker 1: or will say something stupid. Everybody does. It just happens.
Speaker 1: I am in total agreement with you. This cancel. You know,
Speaker 1: what we need to cancel. We need to cancel cancel culture.
Speaker 1: I'm serious, and we need to stop letting. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you can happen today because the nature of
Speaker 1: our lives now. But these people on Twitter, these random
Speaker 1: people on Twitter who get stuff trending and want to
Speaker 1: cancel everybody for every little thing people have said. Now,
Speaker 1: there's obviously a line, and there's obviously a degree of remorse,
Speaker 1: and there your actions need to show that you've changed
Speaker 1: or whatever. But still, for the most part, this canceled
Speaker 1: culture needs to be canceled. Even look, people are getting
Speaker 1: canceled for stuff they said five, ten years ago and
Speaker 1: even longer. That's ridiculous. I guarantee you every one of
Speaker 1: these people on Twitter who are trying to cancel every team,
Speaker 1: and some of them may be well known, some of
Speaker 1: them may be TV people. Every person on who's trying
Speaker 1: to cancel somebody has said or done something that they
Speaker 1: regret made. They've made mistakes, they've said the wrong thing,
Speaker 1: and if people were digging into their pass they would
Speaker 1: find things they could be canceled about. But that's the things.
Speaker 1: These people are nobody's and they want to go and
Speaker 1: attack people who are moderately famous or moderately well known,
Speaker 1: and say, oh, you said this fifteen years ago, Chris.
Speaker 1: This goes back to remember NBA Draft night a few
Speaker 1: years ago, Donde Defencenzo from Villanova. Yeah, he was like
Speaker 1: the MVP of the Final four. Guy was awesome. So
Speaker 1: he gets drafted in the first round and all all
Speaker 1: these people pull up, you know, tweets that he fired
Speaker 1: off when he was like thirteen. Oh look what he said.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we can't have this guy in the NBA. Like,
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. He's a thirteen year old
Speaker 1: kid exactly. Like, come on, Chris, how lucky are we
Speaker 1: that social media did not exist when we were young teenagers?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. I mean, you're absolutely right. And again
Speaker 1: we're not We're not saying you know, you can just
Speaker 1: say everything and keep keep it moving, but we do
Speaker 1: have to extend grace to people because we all need it.
Speaker 1: Jackson said, no mistake, idiot, I mean, that's really bad. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got a lot more than just remorse. This is no.
Speaker 1: I mean he already called a rabbi, a prominent rabbi
Speaker 1: and Philadelphia and started he knows, like, dude, what I
Speaker 1: said was really really First of all, it's flat out wrong,
Speaker 1: and it's a like you said, a fake Hitler quote.
Speaker 1: Why are you sharing anything ever from Adolf Hitler? Why? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: And he should get fined and he should, you know,
Speaker 1: suffer his punishment. But we're just saying you don't have
Speaker 1: to cancel everybody. Like I said, there's a line, there's
Speaker 1: certain things you can't you can't cross. But this, this
Speaker 1: cancel culture needs to be canceled. All right, do we
Speaker 1: have my man Vinny Goodwill? Then are we ready for him?
Speaker 1: Senior writer from Yahoo Sports, Rob Parker's f X nephew.
Speaker 1: I wonder if then he's going to the bubble? Well
Speaker 1: we can ask. I mean, I gotta Chris, let me
Speaker 1: ask you. How is he there? Vinny Vinny Goodwill, senior
Speaker 1: NBA writer, y'all who sports? What's up? Brother? What's going on? Y'all?
Speaker 1: How y'all doing? Man? We are good? J Mack just
Speaker 1: threw this out. Are you going to the bubble um?
Speaker 1: In case you guys don't really know, the bubble is
Speaker 1: really limited. They were only allowing with the exception of
Speaker 1: one notable media organization, They're only allowing one person per
Speaker 1: media organization. So just and Chris, thanks already there, Yes,
Speaker 1: right right, I get that. Now. Now are you happy
Speaker 1: about that or you sad? Uh? Neither. I think it's
Speaker 1: one of those things, Chris. You know this where you
Speaker 1: want to be part of the action. You kind of
Speaker 1: you know what saying, you want to be able to
Speaker 1: see some of these things, uh, firsthand. To some degree,
Speaker 1: it depends on you, like your level of like I
Speaker 1: don't say your level of like risk management. Like I
Speaker 1: don't have any mitigating health issues or anything that I
Speaker 1: would have to worry about, but if I did, I
Speaker 1: would probably take a second thought out of it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel you on that. What how Look, Adam silver
Speaker 1: is left it open that they may not be able
Speaker 1: to finish this season. I mean, and Vinnie, I gotta
Speaker 1: think that some dudes down there are going to test
Speaker 1: positive and this bubble's gonna, to use his word, put
Speaker 1: have a hole in it. How confident are you that
Speaker 1: they're gonna be able to get through this? We saw
Speaker 1: what happened with the MLS team just the other day
Speaker 1: in their bubble. Chris, I think this is like uncharted territory,
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's any way that anybody can
Speaker 1: have a certain level of supreme confidence that this thing
Speaker 1: is going to go the way that they expect or
Speaker 1: they hope, Like the hope is that nobody of significance
Speaker 1: test positive. There's no outbreaks or anything like that. But
Speaker 1: when you think about it, you're letting people into Walt
Speaker 1: Disney World, into a different segment of the park, so
Speaker 1: to speak, or the compound, but there's still going to
Speaker 1: be those risks involved. And then you got the employees
Speaker 1: who aren't necessarily going to be tested. And add to
Speaker 1: the fact that there's not going to be like a
Speaker 1: police presence. This isn't an occupied state that's going to
Speaker 1: prevent people where they want to go. You're kind of
Speaker 1: going off of an honor system here. And even when
Speaker 1: you talk to players, when you hear Joel and be
Speaker 1: talking some of these other guys, they're saying, look, I
Speaker 1: don't do anything, but I don't know if I trust
Speaker 1: these other guys to suck it up and do what
Speaker 1: they have to do. Vinny, when you see what's happening
Speaker 1: with the Wizards and the Nets, Bradley Beale's not going
Speaker 1: the nets after team is out at one point, do
Speaker 1: you think we will actually see Adam Silver say, you
Speaker 1: know what, Hey, some of these teams don't even want
Speaker 1: to play, and we're just going to remove them from
Speaker 1: the bubble. Do you think there's any chance that that happens.
Speaker 1: The TV contracts and the TV schedules have long determined
Speaker 1: that this show will gone as proceeded. Okay, if they
Speaker 1: gotta call you, Jason, they gotta risk, they gotta call me.
Speaker 1: They will be calling us and putting us in Brooklyn uniforms,
Speaker 1: and we will be taking those ten days and getting
Speaker 1: those checks and taking the embarrassment because the show will
Speaker 1: go on. I don't I am of the mind that
Speaker 1: they should have gone with the six team playoff teams
Speaker 1: just to mitigate the disaster, the potential disaster and everything else.
Speaker 1: And when you get the more teams, you have the
Speaker 1: more risk and everything else. But we know that the
Speaker 1: biggest reason that they're doing this is for the TV money.
Speaker 1: You're not doing this for the player's salary, because the
Speaker 1: player's salary has already been paid. You're doing this for
Speaker 1: the TV money, and the players buying large are doing
Speaker 1: this so the owners will not open up the collective
Speaker 1: bargaining agreement by using that forest masure and knowing that
Speaker 1: they will take the players to the cleaners for now
Speaker 1: and the few farest rolling back salaries and recalculating basketball
Speaker 1: related incoming everything else. Like, I won't say the players
Speaker 1: are doing this against their will, but they're not necessarily
Speaker 1: doing this for themselves. Yeah, so it sounding doesn't really
Speaker 1: want to go there. Uh And as Chris said and
Speaker 1: some other players, they don't seem introverted. Vinnie, are you
Speaker 1: hearing the same thing. It seems like a lot of
Speaker 1: dudes really are aren't really feeling this even though they're going.
Speaker 1: I mean, you think about it like this, This is
Speaker 1: the first time for a lot of guys that outside
Speaker 1: of when they're were on when they were on their
Speaker 1: journey where life impacted them in a way that they
Speaker 1: could not be insulated from it, Like their their athletic
Speaker 1: privilege did not allow them to be insulated from things
Speaker 1: that were going on in this world, not necessarily just
Speaker 1: them getting sick, but people around them getting sick and
Speaker 1: then not being able to them, not being able to
Speaker 1: positively affect that. You're you know what I'm saying. When
Speaker 1: you have people up in the fifties and the sixties
Speaker 1: in your family and I don't know about you, guys,
Speaker 1: but I've had family members, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: come down with this and it hit home for me.
Speaker 1: And even though you can see it on TV and
Speaker 1: everything else, I think there's a certain level of eye
Speaker 1: opening situations that guys are just experiencing now. And you're
Speaker 1: looking at it like, Okay, so we're going into this bubble.
Speaker 1: It's an unfamiliar situation. It's in Florida, of all places,
Speaker 1: and you're asking us to trust you as far as
Speaker 1: this environment. All these mechanisms can be well and good. Chris, Like,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the safety measures that they're
Speaker 1: taking it's pretty smart. I think we've seen doctor Fucci
Speaker 1: say it's really ambitious and everything else. And if there's
Speaker 1: one person that I would say of the out of
Speaker 1: a certain community of folks, that I would trust it
Speaker 1: with him because he's been relatively sober and honest about
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. But you got to understand, Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's a certain amount of reditance here that the players
Speaker 1: will take. We'll have because here's the other part about
Speaker 1: the guy that no one's talking about. It's not what
Speaker 1: the virus does to you. It's not like Oh, if
Speaker 1: you don't, if you don't die, you're okay. It does
Speaker 1: a certain amount of damage to you that, even if
Speaker 1: you get it and recover from it, you're more vulnerable
Speaker 1: to something else coming out here and knocking you out. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's it's no joke, man. Let me ask you this, Vinnie.
Speaker 1: You obviously you've seen the number. I was like twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two phrases they could put on their jerseys, the
Speaker 1: social justice phrases on the back of their jersey. Number one,
Speaker 1: what do you think of the options they were given
Speaker 1: or even the fact that they were kind of given options?
Speaker 1: And two what would you put if you were an
Speaker 1: NBA player, what would you put on the back of
Speaker 1: your jersey? I would probably put something that's not an option,
Speaker 1: because I'm a little bit more radical. We'll put And
Speaker 1: I think that's where you see the NBA. I want
Speaker 1: to say, you know, towing the line, but this is
Speaker 1: where you see that this is a corporate entity with sponsors,
Speaker 1: and there are still a vocal minority or vocal there's
Speaker 1: a silent minority of people that the NBA is still
Speaker 1: factoring in that they don't want to turn off, especially
Speaker 1: in the moment where you want to get ratings and
Speaker 1: everything else. There's still I think a fear of upsetting
Speaker 1: the police, right because nothing on there says anything about
Speaker 1: you know, police reform or funding the police. You know,
Speaker 1: they're very yah justice equality, you know, very innocuous things
Speaker 1: like now. I was told Anny that the Players Association
Speaker 1: sent this list to the league and that the league
Speaker 1: basically approved everything they sent. So this was the players,
Speaker 1: and then you hear from certain players that said that
Speaker 1: they didn't have to say anything. Clearly, there's a impacuative committee.
Speaker 1: It was the group. It was similar to what Kyrie
Speaker 1: was dealing with, right. I think it was the leaders
Speaker 1: of the Players Association or the you know, executive committee
Speaker 1: members came up with these these twenty phrases or whatever,
Speaker 1: and they didn't consult the whole all the players. But
Speaker 1: sometimes you do. You do hire or or appoint guys
Speaker 1: to kind of speak for you absolutely, And I think
Speaker 1: what what we're used to is guys being being able
Speaker 1: to um, I don't put this. They're they're used to
Speaker 1: working around the margins. They're used to working around this
Speaker 1: paradigm of let's push but lack of a better phrase,
Speaker 1: let's not piss white people off here because though these
Speaker 1: are the people that we have to worry about it.
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that in sort of like a
Speaker 1: racial way, but I'm saying that in a sense that
Speaker 1: this is what black people have to deal with when
Speaker 1: you are in positions of power. Push but not so
Speaker 1: much push, but still sort of try to keep it
Speaker 1: generic to some degree, like they're looking at it. They're
Speaker 1: looking at like, Okay, at least we have the ability
Speaker 1: to have a platform and a message. At least will
Speaker 1: have in a postgame press conference, the ability to say
Speaker 1: people's names and things like this, and to be able
Speaker 1: to speak with more freedom. We won't go but so
Speaker 1: far on the back of the jerseys and everything else.
Speaker 1: And you can't have three hundred and fifty people you know,
Speaker 1: on a zoom calls in let's say this, let's do this.
Speaker 1: You have to trust the officials that you've elected in
Speaker 1: certain places who have communications with people in these positions
Speaker 1: of power, and hope that they represent you. Well. Vinnie,
Speaker 1: let me ask an actual basketball question real quick. I
Speaker 1: know actual basketball. Hey, So everything I've heard is that
Speaker 1: if we need a playoff for the eighth seed, we
Speaker 1: will probably have back to backs in the first round.
Speaker 1: Kauai has not played in a back to back since
Speaker 1: I believe it was twenty seventeen when he was with
Speaker 1: the Spurs. Do you anticipate now having four plus months off,
Speaker 1: do you I think Kawhi Leonard can handle it back
Speaker 1: to back at this point, we got about a minute left, Vinnie,
Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard just here four months after He's better play, right,
Speaker 1: That's that's that's a there's no travel, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like, there's a lot of different things. I'm serious,
Speaker 1: body is going through a certain level of present preventative
Speaker 1: maintenance at this point. Anyway, I'm sure I've heard that
Speaker 1: he's in really good shape, you know from the people
Speaker 1: Walt and the Clippers. So unless he's going to be
Speaker 1: dealing with some different type of nagging injury, I don't
Speaker 1: think there will be any type of problem with Kawhi
Speaker 1: coming back. And remember, guys, he was on the call
Speaker 1: for some of the top players with Jannis and Lebron
Speaker 1: and Steph Curry and all these other guys saying, hey,
Speaker 1: we need to get back and play, no excuses, Kawhi.
Speaker 1: That's right, all right there, it is Vinny good Will
Speaker 1: senior NBA writer. Y'all. Who's sports y'all? We appreciate the knowledge. Brothers.
Speaker 1: Always come on, what are you guys doing? You don't
Speaker 1: have me on this morning talking about this. It'll be
Speaker 1: me and Roan Parker tomorrow. See you guys, man. That's
Speaker 1: been good will Yahoo Sports, Jaymac and Chris will be
Speaker 1: right back on the Dan Patrick Show. Keep it locked
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports
Speaker 1: talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows
Speaker 1: at foxsports Radio dot com and within the iHeart Radio
Speaker 1: app search f SR to listen live. All right, it
Speaker 1: is Chris Brussard and Jason McIntyre on the Dan Patrick Show,
Speaker 1: filling in for Dan and Jay Mack. With all the
Speaker 1: talk about Patrick Mahomes and his new contract, we'd be
Speaker 1: remiss not to bring up our man, Dak Prescott, who's
Speaker 1: got one week from today to come up with a
Speaker 1: long term agreement with the Dallas Cowboys. Now the reports
Speaker 1: are we know he signed the franchise tag to play
Speaker 1: for thirty one point four million. I believe it is
Speaker 1: for this upcoming season. The talk, the reports are that
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are offering him something along the lines of
Speaker 1: thirty five million per year for five years, and that
Speaker 1: Dak is fine with the money, but he only wants
Speaker 1: a four year deal. What do you think about this
Speaker 1: whole situation. I think it's sad that as soon as
Speaker 1: Pat Mahomes get paid, we hear people say, hey, well
Speaker 1: it's toad for Dak to get his money. Okay. Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes won an MVP Award in his first year as
Speaker 1: a starter. In his second year, Chris he topped that
Speaker 1: by winning a Super Bowl MVP Award. Two years, two
Speaker 1: incredible seasons. If not for some Patriots luck in that
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter and overtime against the Chiefs,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes starts his career with back to back Super Bowls.
Speaker 1: Dak's name is not in the same stratosphere as Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: That being said, I would let Dak play on a
Speaker 1: franchise tag. I would say, Dak, you know what you
Speaker 1: were owing five with mediocre numbers against top ten defenses
Speaker 1: last year, Prove it this year, and I would let
Speaker 1: him play on the franchise tag. I totally agree with
Speaker 1: you that at Dak Prescott, and I like Dak Prescott.
Speaker 1: I do believe he's a franchise quarterback. I do believe
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should lock him up long term, but you're right,
Speaker 1: he is not in the same sentence as Pat Mahomes
Speaker 1: period the end, all right, but really nobody right now, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Dak is not there, so I'm with you on that.
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. I think that the Cowboys will buckle.
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones has been known to buckle. Right, He's buckled
Speaker 1: every time Smith, Ezekiel, Elliott dez Bryant. He buckles. And
Speaker 1: I think at the end of the day before July fifteenth,
Speaker 1: he will say, you know what, We'll just sign you
Speaker 1: up for four years. And because there's no doubt in
Speaker 1: my mind they won him there offered him five years.
Speaker 1: Why would they offer him five years at either what
Speaker 1: you know before Mahomes is deal that's either the highest
Speaker 1: paid for a quarterback outside of Patrick Homes or right there.
Speaker 1: Why would they offer him that if they're not sure
Speaker 1: about him and the franchise stuff. Look, next year goes
Speaker 1: up there close to thirty eight million, which is gonna
Speaker 1: mess around with your cap figures. And then the year
Speaker 1: after that, I doubt they do it for a third
Speaker 1: straight year, but it'd be in the fifty fifty three
Speaker 1: million or something like that, which is ridiculous. So I
Speaker 1: think they're better off going ahead signing him for four
Speaker 1: years at that thirty five ish number, because if most
Speaker 1: people think the cap will go up, and if that does,
Speaker 1: then you know, as this deal mature, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be a killer deal. So I think they should. And
Speaker 1: here's the thing. You want to kill Dak. He's not
Speaker 1: kill I did not kill him on Insta, did you?
Speaker 1: Out of four years, he's got more wins in the
Speaker 1: regular season since he's been in the league than anybody
Speaker 1: not named Tom Brady or Russell Wilson. And that remember
Speaker 1: that's with six games without Ezekiel Elliott. And then he's
Speaker 1: one of two orderbacks to throw for twenty or more
Speaker 1: touchdowns or more than twenty touchdowns outside of the red
Speaker 1: zone since twenty eighteen, he's got twenty four. Guess who.
Speaker 1: It's just so funny, Patrick, It's so stop it with
Speaker 1: the dakte It's just it's not hate. It's reality, Chris.
Speaker 1: It's just so comical reality that you give me all
Speaker 1: the numbers for offense, right, hey man, you get behind
Speaker 1: the best offensive line, you get behind the best offensive
Speaker 1: line in the league, a top three running back in Zeke,
Speaker 1: a great wide receiver corps when they got a Mary Cooper. Yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna put up stats, but
Speaker 1: guess what, you don't have the most drops in the league.
Speaker 1: Last year they were up there. I don't know, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Didn't they have a mediocre head coach. They
Speaker 1: had a bad headco Okay, he got fight, so don't
Speaker 1: forget those elements as well. Dak is a good quarterback.
Speaker 1: And I and I said this on my Instagram and
Speaker 1: all these Cowboy fans came after me. If Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: were in any other market outside of Dallas, AKA America's team,
Speaker 1: if he were in Jacksonville, we would not be hyping
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott the way we are. Okay, if he were
Speaker 1: in you pick a Mark Denver. Nobody's hyping Dak based
Speaker 1: on his accomplishment. Well, he's he's led him. Now. I'm
Speaker 1: not saying this is you know, uh Joe montana ish,
Speaker 1: but he's led Dallas, which is a team that had
Speaker 1: been you know, mediocre for for a decade. Has he
Speaker 1: been to a super Bowl like Jared Goff, but he's
Speaker 1: been the two playoffs? Was he in the MVP discussion
Speaker 1: like Carson Wentz, Russell Wilson Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz was
Speaker 1: in the MVP discussion before did he win the MVP? Well,
Speaker 1: I got hurt. He toss part of his problem. I
Speaker 1: need what the best availability, Jason, say it with me.
Speaker 1: I know you've heard it is availability. The best ability
Speaker 1: is say it with me, class it's availability. That doesn't
Speaker 1: mean anything. Oh he's available, Actually it does because that's
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz's problem. My love wins. He's talented, but he's
Speaker 1: hurt too much. Well, he got paid because he's a
Speaker 1: better talent. Is a better than Dak Prescott. That's why
Speaker 1: he got better. And Jared Goff got paid because he
Speaker 1: got to a super Bowl. Yeah, I would not have
Speaker 1: given him that much. He's not a better leader. He
Speaker 1: doesn't have the intangibles. Dak hass remember that word intangibles?
