1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Great to be back. It's our two on 3 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,840 Speaker 1: this Monday, Dan and the Danette stan Patrick's Show. Congrats 4 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: to Miguel Cabrera, the Tigers slugger, the twenty eighth player 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: in baseball history to hit five hundred home runs, closing 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: in on three thousand as well. Five hundred home runs 7 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: doesn't mean what it used to. Three thousand still does. 8 00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Five hundred was once a number that elite sluggers reached, 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: and that was your automatic ticket to the Hall of Fame. 10 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: You got to five hundred home runs, didn't matter what 11 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,040 Speaker 1: else you did in your career. You got to five 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: hundred home runs, You're a Hall of Famer. You know, 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: there's some all time greats. They didn't get there. Lou 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 1: Garrick didn't get there. Joe DiMaggio wasn't even closed. The 15 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: list has grown in recent years and will continue because 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: of the emphasis on home runs. You know, the steroid 17 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: era sort of marred the Hey, welcome to the five 18 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:58,080 Speaker 1: hundred club. Five hundred club, But did you have help 19 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: along the way? The long ball more common than ever, 20 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: But Cabrera not just a home run hitter. He's one 21 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 1: hundred hits shy a little less than one hundred hits 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 1: shy of three thousand. He won a triple Crown, won 23 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: a couple of MVPs. We don't go nuts over five 24 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: hundred home runs, but we will celebrate Miguel Cabrera when 25 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: he goes into the Hall of Fame here in a 26 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: few years. And I'm wondering who's next with five hundred 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: home runs. I guess Gian Carlos Stanton would be one 28 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: of those guys. He's thirty one, He's got three hundred 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: and thirty two career home runs. I'm not the biggest 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: Jim Carlos Stanton fan. Mike Trout. He's thirty, he has 31 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: three hundred and ten home runs in his career, but 32 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: injuries have slowed his pace a bit in twenty seventeen, 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen, but this year has really set 34 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: him back. He hit one hundred eighty seven home runs 35 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: in the five years leading up to last year's pandemic 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: shortened season. Let's see. Freddie Freeman would be a guy 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. He's thirty one with two 38 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty seven career home runs. Bryce Harper, he's 39 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: been playing for ten years. He's twenty eight years of age. 40 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: He's got two hundred and fifty five home runs. Manny 41 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: Machado he's actually a few months older than Harper. He's 42 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: twenty nine and he's got two hundred and forty five 43 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: home runs. You know, Vlad Guerrero juniors only twenty two, 44 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: Fernando Tatis Juniors twenty two, Won Soto is twenty two, 45 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: Ronald Cuna is twenty three. You know, these guys are 46 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: just starting, but that possibility is there with them hitting 47 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 1: five hundred home runs because the launch angle and velocity 48 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: and pitchers and I throw hard, you swing hard, and yep. 49 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to be surprised if some 50 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 1: of these younger players, if they stay healthy, playing that 51 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: amount of time, are going to have five hundred home runs. Yeah, Paul, 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 1: quick question for you. Albert Poohols of the Dodgers is 53 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: forty one years old. He's got six hundred and seventy 54 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: seven career homers and he's his career at batting averages 55 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: two ninety seven. Would you if you were him, you 56 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: could either be a three hundred hitter or have seven 57 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: hundred home runs. You can pick one and then tap 58 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 1: out six hundred and seventy seven homers two ninety seven 59 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: career batting average. He hit fifteen hommers this year, so 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: he's going to need some work to get to seven hundred. 61 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: If he plays next year, yeah, I would probably. Now 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: I don't know what his thoughts would be, but you 63 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: want to be v you want to be viewed as 64 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: a great hitter, like batting three hundred for your career. 65 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: It would bother me if I ended at two ninety nine. 66 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: Mickey Mantell, I think ended up at two ninety eight. 67 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: But I'm sure that there are some really good players 68 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: that might have ended up right in that vicinity. There 69 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: seven hundred home runs, man, that's a big thing. You know. 70 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys who entered their career 71 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: batting over three hundred. If I'm joining the seven hundred club, 72 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: I probably go seven hundy. I mean, there's there's three 73 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: guys in the seven hundred club. Bonds Aaron ruth Abrod 74 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: missed it by four, yes, hun And now more than 75 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: every where, people are more instant home runs and could 76 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 1: care less how many times you struck out. Even more 77 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: so to me, it would be a big deal to 78 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: hit that seven hundred mark. No one's gonna judge you 79 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: if you struck out like a crazy amount of times 80 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 1: to get there. I wonder what Albert Poohole's his career 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: numbers would be if he was starting out in the 82 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: last five years with the emphasis on home runs, not 83 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: about batting average. Because when he came up he was 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: truly a great hitter, not just a power guy. But 85 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: if he came up and just set his sights on 86 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: hitting home runs, we'd be talking about him probably approaching 87 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: eight hundred home runs, not seven hundred home runs because 88 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: of the emphasis when you're a great hitter. Bonds was 89 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: a great hitter. He wasn't one of those guys who 90 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: just went up there and he would be swinging. Bonds 91 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: was a five tool player. If he came up well, 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: he was built differently. In the early part of his career, 93 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: he was very thin, very slender, stealing bases, good you 94 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: know outfielder, but hitting for a good average. Then of 95 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: course he started with steroids. He became a bigger guy, 96 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: and he was one dimensional. He would just swing to 97 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,239 Speaker 1: hit home runs. But but pooh Holes, who was pretty 98 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 1: much avoided any you know, cloud of controversy when it 99 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: comes to that, would probably be approaching eight hundred home runs. Yeah. 100 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: If pool Holes would have retired at age thirty one, 101 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: after he was his last year with Saint Louis, he 102 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: would be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Justin Saint Louis. 103 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: He batted three thirty with four hundred and forty five 104 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: homers in his first eleven years. That's first ballot and 105 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,120 Speaker 1: it's one of the great bargains in baseball history that 106 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: the Cardinals got ten great years. It cost him a 107 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: little over one hundred million dollars. They got ten years 108 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: with pooh Hols with those numbers, But he would be 109 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: approaching I think eight hundred home runs with today's fillophy 110 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: offensive philosophy, where you're just hitting home runs. That's all 111 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: they care about. You don't have to put it in play, 112 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: hit it out of play, hit it over the wall, 113 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: all right.

Really proud of 129 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 1: this product. Got some information on college football. We're going 130 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: to talk a little bit more about college football with 131 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: this alliance with the PAC twelve, the Big Ten, and 132 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: the ACC coming up next hour. But I have some 133 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: information here that I got over the weekend about this. 134 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: And if you go back to last month, I think 135 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 1: it was July twenty seventh when I got the information 136 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: that the PAC twelve and Big Ten were looking at 137 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: some kind of merger or alliance because they wanted to 138 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: protect the Rose Bowl contract that they have now the 139 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: ACC fearing of being left out jumped in. They also 140 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: aligned with the higher education with the Big Ten, the 141 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: Pac twelve from what I'm told, and that's why the 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: Big twelve is on the outside looking in Iowa State. 143 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: It's going to be good football too, But other than 144 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: that and Kansas basketball. Do you want any of these 145 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: schools and maybe somebody picks off some of these schools, 146 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, Kansas would be the only school that would 147 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: be interesting if you're the ACC and you can bring 148 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: them in for basketball, but you just don't want to 149 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: be left out, and the Big twelve is going to 150 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: be left out thanks to Texas and Oklahoma. Here's the 151 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: information I have because I was wondering, you know, the 152 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: Alliance they have to think about the bigger picture here. 153 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: If the Big Ten, Pac twelve and ACC are going 154 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: to try to play for a national championship, they want 155 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: to make sure that there are other TV partners here 156 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: because ESPN basically owns or is in partnership with the SEC, 157 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: and they have that until twenty twenty five. From what 158 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: I'm told that the Alliance will attempt to block the 159 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: college football playoff expansion until twenty twenty six because they 160 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: don't want ESPN in bed with SEC and then getting 161 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: the SEC schools to play on ESPN. They want other 162 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: TV partners in here. They don't want a monopoly with ESPN, 163 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 1: and the SEC Alliance wants to maintain normalcy with practical 164 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: legislation if they expand the playoffs in twenty twenty three, 165 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: ESPN owns the SEC and the College Football Playoff. Just 166 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: something to file away here when we talk about you know, 167 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: everybody is trying to, you know, find that seat with 168 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: musical chairs here that the Alliance, from what I'm told, 169 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: PAC twelve, Big ten, ACC want to wait for college 170 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: expansion until after this current contract expires, and then you're 171 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: going to have other you know, TV partners in here. 172 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: Now just Fox, Pony Up? Do you get Amazon? Do 173 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: you get somebody else who wants to jump in and 174 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: be able to carry this because you're getting high quality 175 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: football games just about every weekend. You're not going to 176 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: get one double A. You know, you're not going to 177 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: get Youngstown State against Ohio State. You're getting good football 178 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: games every week and it's going to be a little 179 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: bit larger fl version from what I'm told that if 180 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: you get sixteen playoff teams and you have fifty schools 181 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: that are involved in this. It's a little bit larger NFL, 182 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: and that's the model they're going for because there is 183 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: there was a concern that the SEC was going to 184 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: swallow up everybody else. They were going to say, hey, 185 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 1: we're creating our own super league here. But you know, 186 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: you want to have your foothold from what I'm told 187 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: with schools in the Big Ten and at out West, 188 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: you want to have your foothold in Texas, Oklahoma, and California. 189 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 1: Those are the football rich states and everybody wants to 190 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: have an opportunity in those three states. And if you 191 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: do this with the ACC, and you do this, you 192 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: know with the Pac twelve and the Big ten're you're 193 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: covering the globe and it makes them a very viable, 194 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: strong conference to go against the SEC. SEC can add Oklahoma, Texas, 195 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: but the ACC, with what they're doing now, you have 196 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: rivalries they are already built in. You have games that 197 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: are already built in. And how long are those schedules. 198 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's certain schools that play that school every 199 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: single year, whether it's home or away. I did ask 200 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: my source about Notre Dame and my source said he 201 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: wasn't sure. He also said, by the way, the only 202 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: school that's attractive in the Big twelve is Kansas because 203 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: it's basketball. There's not enough schools there who can create revenue. 204 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 1: The state schools don't match up for the Big ten, 205 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: a SEC, SEC or a PAC twelve. So that's that's 206 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: what's going to be really interesting to find out what 207 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: happens with the Big twelve. You have a lot of 208 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 1: these games that you know, ACC has games locked in 209 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: with rivals. PAC twelve has that Big Ten has rivals. 210 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: And then I ask about Notre Dame and my source said, 211 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: I believe that their their administration was on action last 212 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: week or school not in session. My source said, I'd 213 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: be surprised if Notre Dame is interested now. Notre Dame 214 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: is in a great position, possibly down the road. Couldn't 215 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,199 Speaker 1: see them joining the Alliance until after the college playoff 216 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: expansion in twenty twenty six, but once again, the Alliance 217 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: wants to if they expand the playoffs. ESPN owns the 218 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 1: SEC in college football playoffs, and you know they want 219 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 1: the other networks to bid. The price goes up. NFL 220 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: style of coverage with multiple networks covering the playoffs. That's 221 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: that's what the bigger picture is here, and you might 222 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: not see that until twenty twenty six. Yeah, Po, I'm 223 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: really curious about Clemson because there's such a powerhouse right now. 224 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: Were they invited, it hasn't no news really, that hard 225 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: news is broken. Were they invited to join the SEC? 226 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: Why would they? Why wouldn't they? As they seem right 227 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 1: now to be at amongst the top of the heap 228 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: of college football and they could do whatever they want. 229 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: I haven't heard. I would imagine if I'm the SEC. 230 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 1: I was told the SEC reached out to Ohio State, 231 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: you know, some of these blue bloods. I mean, of 232 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: course you would, why not? But from what I was told, 233 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: and this is you know, back on the twenty seventh 234 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: of July, when I gave you that information that there 235 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: was the possibility, and nobody was talking about this. We're 236 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: all caught up with the SEC, and I thought, okay, 237 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: now what do you do? And that the Big ten 238 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: reached out to the PAC twelve to talk about a merger, 239 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, okay, I don't know how that works. 240 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: And then I think the ACC is going, okay, do 241 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: we want to join? Can we join? The can we 242 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: join the SEC, or can Clemson all of a sudden 243 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: secede from the a SEC and say we're gonna go 244 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: on our own here, we're going rogue. I don't know, 245 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: I go Cleman, Texas. But like, there's a lot going 246 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: on here, a lot. I love that Penn State's president. 247 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: I think it's just president. You know, the president said, 248 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: you know, this isn't about chasing money. This is about 249 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: higher education, right right, That's it, That's that, that's what 250 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: you always do. You follow the education, not the money. 251 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: I was always told you follow the money. But then 252 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to follow the higher education. Okay, yeah, I'm 253 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: I'm I'm buying into that. Sure, sure, Yeah. If there's 254 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: been an any thought of an SSC, a smart School conference, 255 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: a bunch of like like a duke football team league, Yeah, 256 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 1: but that's still they don't they they're over academic, they 257 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 1: don't they don't even have a playoffs. Well, I would 258 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: love to see wake Forest, you know, one of some 259 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: of these Vanderbilt. They should let Vandy into the IVY League, 260 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: put wake Forest in there as well, maybe duke football 261 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: in there. Yes, may be awesome. If that Super Smart 262 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: Conference only ran like trick plays or something, or you know, 263 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 1: plays that were more statistically to prevail and based on 264 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: these current weather conditions, and like there was like these 265 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: unbelievable formulas as to why they ran the ball to 266 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: the left or something. Right. The analytics, Yes, I would 267 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: have just analytics and computers on the sideline. Scientifically speaking, Sat, 268 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 1: We're gonna run this shit's third and four at their 269 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: twenty nine And I mean, is this a shot at me? Yes, 270 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: there happens to be a Harvard quarterback who's going to 271 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: lead a team to the playoffs this year in Washington, DC. 272 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 1: So the Ivy League football is strong, right, guys.

When we were talking about football schools, 277 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: I didn't think of a single IVY League school. I 278 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: just thought of like smarter, non Ivy League football schools. 279 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: Jason Garrett, Yeah, all right, best and worst of the weekend.

By the way, 281 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: there was something that was said recently that I think 282 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: it's a big deal, and it has to do with 283 00:15:55,400 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. I think it's a big deal, 284 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: but I'll play that part of the interview they conducted 285 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: and I'll let you judge.

It's a podcast called Chips, 309 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: and Kevin Durant and Draymond Green were on there and 310 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: very honest about their past when they were teammates at 311 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: Golden State when they had their little incident on the 312 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: floor and then it's spilled over to in the locker 313 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: room and they weren't exactly on the same page as teammates. 314 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: And then I think we thought that was the beginning 315 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 1: of the end, that Kevin Durant was not going to 316 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: stay in Golden State and Draymond Green had no problem 317 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:51,159 Speaker 1: with that. But here is Draymond Green talking about his 318 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: meeting after he and Kevin Durant had words after a 319 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: game and he met with head coach Steve Kerr and 320 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: the GM Bob Meyers. I'm sorry, is this the first 321 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: cut of the second first one from my own personal sanity, 322 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: because I've been getting kicked ever since you left, so 323 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: just for my own personal sanity. How much did our 324 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 1: argument against the Clippers drive you to ultimately lead the wars? 325 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: It wasn't the argument. It was the way that everybody 326 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Steve Kurt act like it didn't happen, Bob Myers and 327 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: tried to just discimpline you and think that that would 328 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: put the mask over everything. I really felt like that 329 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: was such a big situation for us as a group. 330 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: The first time we went through something like that, we 331 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: had to get that all out. I remember watching the 332 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: last dance and when Scotty didn't go into the game, 333 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: the whole team in the locker room said, Scotty, that 334 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: was up that you did. That We needed that. We 335 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: just needed through all of that out on the table 336 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: and say yo ja kay, like that was that we 337 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: even had to go through that. Let's just wipe our 338 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 1: hands with that and go finish the task. I don't 339 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: think we did that, and we tried to dance around it. 340 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: I just didn't like how all of that, just the 341 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: vibe between all of that, it just made it weird 342 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: to me. And I'd rather us be who we say 343 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: we are family first. Communication is key, like all, we 344 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: didn't show that and that's what rubbed me the wrong 345 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: way more than anything. They put me in that room 346 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: that signature for hour and forty five minutes and they 347 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: try to tell me you need to apologize, and I 348 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,879 Speaker 1: told them I'll talk to K, but y'all aren't going 349 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: to tell me what I need to say. And you know, 350 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: they went on for hour and forty five minutes, talk 351 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: sound a bunch, and ultimately they realized, all right, we're 352 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: not getting through to him. We're gonna try again in 353 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: the morning. And so we met the next morning and 354 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: they said, all right, you slept on it. You're ready 355 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: to apologize. And I told them right then and there, 356 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 1: I said, y'all about this up. I said, the only 357 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 1: person that can make this right is me and K. 358 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: And there's nothing that y'all can do. And y'all are 359 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: going to this up, and in my opinion, they get 360 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 1: it up. I think so too. All right, now, let 361 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: me give you a little backdrop here. This was a 362 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: regular season game in November. Green and Durant each one 363 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,360 Speaker 1: for a rebound. In the final seconds of the game 364 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: against the Clippers. Green came away with the rebound, came 365 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: up the floor, turned the ball over. Green and Durant 366 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: had a very very animated conversation on the bench. A 367 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: lot of people notice this. Green would be suspended by 368 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: the front office, and Kevin Durant and Draymond Green have 369 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: eventually made up, as you could tell by their conversation here. 370 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 1: But there's a couple of things that I thought of. 371 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant's always the victim. Always. It's rare when he 372 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: goes you know, my bad, I overreacted or I said 373 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: something I should mean. For the most part, it feels 374 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: like he's always the victim here. But the bigger picture, 375 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: the bigger story is Draymond Green still plays for Golden State, 376 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: still coach by Steve Kerr, and still has Bob Meyers 377 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: the GM as his boss. How's this going to play? 378 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: I get the feeling Draymond Green knows his days in 379 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,120 Speaker 1: Golden State are numbered. I don't have any information, haven't 380 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: seen any rumors, although we've talked about Ben Simmons is 381 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: a younger Draymond Green and the Golden State Warriors have 382 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: been rumored to be interested in Ben Simmons. Maybe Draymond 383 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,159 Speaker 1: Green realizes my days are numbered, let me get the 384 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: real story out there. Or maybe if my days are numbered, 385 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: let's speed up the process here. Why else would you 386 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: want to set the record straight on the team that 387 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: you're still on. Coach by the coach you just said, 388 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:46,680 Speaker 1: bleep this up and the GM bleep this up. How 389 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: about Kad and Draymond got together and in spite of 390 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 1: what happener, didn't happen with your coach and GM and 391 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: made it better so Katie would have stayed. You want 392 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,199 Speaker 1: to blame them? How about you guys take blame. You 393 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: guys were the ones acting petty. You guys created this. 394 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: Did Steve Kerr handle it correctly? Apparently not to the 395 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 1: according to these two or Bob Meyers, the GM didn't 396 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: handle it correct That's where you as men go, hey, 397 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: we're not gonna let them screw this up. Instead, they 398 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 1: screw this up. This isn't salvageable. I'm leaving. I don't know, 399 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 1: got some victims here? Yeah? Seton. There are definitely times, 400 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: just to play Devil's advocate, that management steps into what 401 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: is a fairly simple situation and makes things way worse. Yes, 402 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: and now it's like, wait a minute, we were just 403 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: having like a simple argument over here. Now you're stepping 404 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: in and it's ten times bigger. Why don't you guys 405 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 1: back off and not get involved? That that happens in business, 406 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: any kind of business. Yeah, but that's when the two 407 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: people could then say I don't want this. I mean, 408 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: this is it. You have a once in a lifetime 409 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: chance for a dynasty here. You're gonna let Steve Kerr 410 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: and Bob Meyers ruin this. That's where you go, Hey, 411 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: let's let hey, you and me we need let's talk 412 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 1: about this. Look, I'm gonna take the heat. They can 413 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: suspend me, but when we come back, let's be stronger 414 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,239 Speaker 1: than ever. I'm not going to let this break up 415 00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: our team. Instead, you're going, well, they screwed it up. 416 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 1: I don't know, I can't do anything about it. You 417 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,880 Speaker 1: gotta screwed it up. Yeah. See, I'm gonna guess though, 418 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 1: that is that really the player's team? Well what I mean, 419 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: but that's your friend, that's your teammate, Like, you can 420 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: make it better. They might have made it work. There 421 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 1: are plenty of times at ESPN where management would do something, 422 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: say something, and all it took with the two people 423 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: involved in something to get over something that was really petty. 424 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: But when they bring you in separately, and then when 425 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get disciplined, somebody's gonna get suspended, and then 426 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: it changes the relationship there. But I think it's incumbent 427 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: upon certainly these guys are buddies. They recruited Kevin Durant. 428 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,120 Speaker 1: That's where you go. I can't let this, this can't 429 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: break us up. So this moment here that broke up 430 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: a dynasty in retrospect, see, that's what I would have 431 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: said that Draymond Green. Dray why didn't you guys fix it? 432 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 1: Like you're blaming others? Are you taking any blame? Like? 433 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Fix it? It's just you and him, you and Katie. 434 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: Just fix it. Talk to him? Am I bad? I overreacted. 435 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: My bad too, overreacted. Management overreacted. We'll move past them, Yeah, Paul. 436 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: The one part that stuck out for me is Draymond 437 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: Green with management and said we want you to go 438 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 1: apologize to Kevin. Kevin and Draymond Green apologizing someone is 439 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: not a problem. I don't mind apologizing. When you're told 440 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 1: to apologize to someone and the other person is not 441 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: being told to apologize for a mutual fight. It's like 442 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: it's you're being devalued. Like Kevin Draymond is probably thinking, 443 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: I here for all the titles, I was here first, 444 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 1: and this guy comes in. I'm apologizing in the new 445 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: guy and they said he wouldn't do it being told 446 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: to apologize bothers people. It's in the moment, you know, 447 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: it gets heated. You say things. I mean, teammates do 448 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: this all the time. That that there's stuff that goes on. 449 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: There's stuff that's happening with great teams, great players that's 450 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 1: never seen the light a day. Three stories that I 451 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: have that I know of too that I witnessed it, 452 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,760 Speaker 1: and it didn't change the relationship with these players on 453 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: the team. Somehow, some way they moved past it. But 454 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. It feels like KD is always the victim. Yeah. See, 455 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: you would imagine like I think Steve Kerr is like, 456 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: this is my dynasty, right, Bob Myers is like, this 457 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 1: is my dynasty. I made this. You guys are just players, 458 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: sort of like you mentioned ESPN and they were like, 459 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: you're just talents. Well that is true, you know, like 460 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: you guys are just players. We're the ones that put 461 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: this together. And not to like speak for them and 462 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: say that, but I could see that mindset of being like, 463 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: we're the ones that made this happen. You guys are interchangeable. Well, 464 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: I think knowing that you have a dynasty. ESPN didn't 465 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: know exactly what it had until it was done, and 466 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: then they went, wait, we got rid of all of 467 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 1: these personalities here. We'd like to hey, come on back in. 468 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 1: Who wants to be a personality in basketball? There's only 469 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: a couple of people in the world that are as 470 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: good as Kevin Durant. I mean, there's a lot of 471 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: people as good as myself. For Keith Oberman or some 472 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: of those Stewart like, this is different. Katie is one 473 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 1: of the top three players at the time, you know, 474 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 1: still one of the top one or two players, maybe 475 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: the best player in basketball. But at some point, you go, 476 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: I got to make sure that I keep this guy 477 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: on board. Yeah. Point. If I were the GM of 478 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 1: the Warriors, I would be patting myself on the back 479 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: and I would think that I'm responsible. I got Steph 480 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: Curry with the seventh pick of the draft, who nobody 481 00:26:58,040 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 1: shot what thought was a short thing. I got Clay 482 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,400 Speaker 1: Thompson with the eleventh pick, and I got Draymond Green 483 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,400 Speaker 1: in the early second round. I could see being very 484 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,959 Speaker 1: full of yourself if you're the Golden State Warriors personnel department. Well, 485 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 1: how do they feel now? How do those guys feel 486 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: now about their dynasty? It's over? So your ego got 487 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: in the way that you guys could have rectified this, 488 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: and that Kevin Durant and Draymond Green couldn't you know, 489 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: move past this? Yeah, mclom It also struck me. It's 490 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,880 Speaker 1: just how much more they valued Kevin Durant than Draymond Yes, 491 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: and they should. Yeah, and now we know why the 492 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: nets because Kevin Durant is very sensitive and Draymond Green overreacted, 493 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: got in his face and they had, you know, very 494 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 1: heated conversation there. Should the team has suspended Draymond Green. 495 00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: Well we can argue that, but I just can't put 496 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: this all in Steve Kerr and the GM, Bob Myers 497 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: and go and you guys screwed this up. Do they 498 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: make a mistake? Maybe probably, But at some point you're 499 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 1: a teammate. There's only thirteen of you. I mean, it's 500 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,200 Speaker 1: it's not hard to kind of figure this out. And 501 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: let's talk. Hey, we're on a road trip. Let's sit down, 502 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: let's have dinner. Let's just you know, where are you 503 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: coming from? Where are you coming from? Do we want 504 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: to keep this together? Like I don't know. Bands have 505 00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: this all the time and they somehow move past it. 506 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: They somehow agree to disagree. They have fights, now, they 507 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: have crazy stuff that goes on. But for the betterment 508 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: of the band, you got to somehow fix it. That's 509 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: what a basketball team is, It's a band, and that's 510 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 1: what Golden State was. Yeah, do you think you guys 511 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: are I think athletes in general could play a sport 512 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: for years and years with someone they really didn't like 513 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 1: or yeah, I don't understand. Some people don't socialize together, 514 00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: they don't click, They just socialize with someone else on 515 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: the team. But imagine having a teammate you truly didn't like. 516 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: If you're winning, that usually glazes over everything. It depends 517 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: on what you don't like them. For if it's your 518 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: style of basketball and you're a ball hog you don't share, 519 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: but we win, then that would be hard. But let's 520 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: say you know, you have a problem with somebody off 521 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: the field or off the floor, with something that happened. 522 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: They're dating somebody you used to date. Okay, you know 523 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: that one might be a little tougher, but it's a 524 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: small group here. Golden State had something that everybody is 525 00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:31,440 Speaker 1: looking for, an opportunity to plug and play and be 526 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 1: a dynasty for ten years. Seven years they had it, 527 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: and you're gonna let an altercation, an incident, Draymond being suspended. 528 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 1: But I think I do think the bigger picture is 529 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: what does Draymond? What does he want now? He wants 530 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: to set the record straight. But Kevin Durant's not there. 531 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: He didn't have to worry about any of this. Draymond's 532 00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: got to show up and go, hey, coach, show great, 533 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,720 Speaker 1: dray How is your off season good? Good? Interesting? Nah? Yeah, 534 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: See the Warriors won without Katie though. Yeah, so they're 535 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: like I could see from their point of view, we 536 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 1: won without you before, so we'll just do it again. 537 00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: Go ahead and leave we can. We've already proven we 538 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,959 Speaker 1: could do this without you. I'd hate to have unless 539 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: they thought he was just a temperamental baby and they 540 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: were just tired of dealing with this, which is possible. 541 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: But you know, they might have gotten to the point 542 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: where they just said you know what, maybe it's best 543 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: that he just moves on. You're never gonna be happy. 544 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe, Yeah, Paul, you still hear stories, but Shaquille 545 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: and Hille talks now and he talks about him and 546 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant, and he always says, I wish we would 547 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 1: have calmed down during this. I wish we would have 548 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 1: sat and talked more. But I've seen Kobe in different 549 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: interviews four or five years ago where he still was like, 550 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: if Shack would have worked out more, if Shaq would 551 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: have done this, that that's what bothered Kobe asked, Kobe, 552 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: what bother you? Because we got along fine. It was 553 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 1: work ethic. It wasn't as much personal beefs or being 554 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 1: the star of the team. Kobe. This would have been 555 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 1: his birthday today, forty three. Yeah, you always look back 556 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: with regret, You just do. I mean, I was there 557 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: for five and a half years at Sports Center with 558 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: Keith Overman. People think we were there for ten years, 559 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 1: But I just wonder if management could have made this 560 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: go for three or four more years. You know, Keith's 561 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 1: not the easiest guy, but you know, you find you 562 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: find a way to make this work. And I was 563 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: hopeful that he would stay. But you know, you have 564 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: a falling out, you know, the Beatles they went their 565 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: separate ways. I mean they just were like, we don't 566 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: want to deal with this. And believe me, I'm not 567 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 1: saying that Keith and I were the Beatles. We were 568 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 1: obviously much bigger. Like just kidding, Todd, that's just a 569 00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: little sports center human. Yes, yes, yeah, you guys are 570 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: actually really good. What no? Oh? Wow. By the way, 571 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: I did see a Beatles. I saw Paul McCartney with 572 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: Rick Rubin. Yeah, three two one, Um, it's okay, Like 573 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 1: Paul was really good, but Rick Rubin, who's this great 574 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: musical producer, Like, all right, I'm not getting I thought 575 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: that there was going to be something more. But you know, 576 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: McCartney talking about making music was was interesting. Yes, is he? 577 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: Do you want to hear something crazy that just blows 578 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: in my mind? Yes. Larry Riley senior advisor to the 579 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: General manager of the Atlantic Hawks. He was formerly the 580 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 1: general manager of the Golden State Warriors before being demoted 581 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 1: to the director of Scouting upon Bob Meyer's promotion to GM. 582 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: He was responsible for drafting Steph Curry and Clay Thompson, 583 00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: and then got demoted Larry Riley, Larry Riley, Lawrence, what's happening? 584 00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: Dude got demoted? He drafted those two jeepers. Creepers talk 585 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,600 Speaker 1: about being underappreciated. But don't you think that there's something 586 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: more going on with Draymond Green wanting? Because he's bringing 587 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: this up to Kevin Durant. Does Draymond Green want out? 588 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: Does he think he's on his way out? Certainly feels 589 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: like there's something there. Do you think Draymond gets suspended again? 590 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,000 Speaker 1: Do you think he's got to apologize again? Draymond, we 591 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 1: want you to apologize to Steve Kerr. You hurt his feelings. 592 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: By the way, we got the obligatory Ben Simmons workout 593 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 1: video and of course he's hitting jumpers, three pointers. He 594 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: looks great, But it doesn't mean anything to me because 595 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,520 Speaker 1: mclovin goes. What do you think of his form? I 596 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: go His form is fine, It's better than Lonzo balls. 597 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: You just you have to be confident in taking the shot. 598 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: Shooting is about confidence, I mean, if you that's what's amazing. 599 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: Like Steph Curry has so much confidence, he thinks everything 600 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: is going in. Ben Simmons doesn't think anything's going in. 601 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: You get on the green and you put and you go, 602 00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: this has no chance of getting in. Get on the team, 603 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: you go, oh, I'm going to hit this out about 604 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:12,320 Speaker 1: like then you do. It's about confidence, about repetition, Ben Simmons. 605 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: He can have the best form, it doesn't matter if 606 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 1: you're afraid of the moment. And he's afraid of the 607 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,280 Speaker 1: moment right now. He just needs to go someplace else, 608 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: build up his confidence on a team that is not 609 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: playoff worthy. So then when he gets into these moments, 610 00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: then he's eased into it. But yeah, he's hitting three pointers. 611 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: He looks good, looks in shape. It doesn't matter, it 612 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything. Yeah, poem, maybe the Sixers should play 613 00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: their playoff games in August and a suburban rec center 614 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: and a bunch of guys pick up.

The 630 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: Curious Future of Larry Fitzgerald have that for you coming up. 631 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: By the way, we reached out to the NFL because 632 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:49,719 Speaker 1: I was curious here if there's a taunting penalty or 633 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: taunting after a game is over on the defense. Let's 634 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 1: say there's a hail marrying, you throw it up for grabs, 635 00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,239 Speaker 1: receiver doesn't come down with it, defensive back gets in 636 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: his face, the clock is at zero, and can you 637 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: call taunting on that play? The NFL says, if the 638 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: clock went to zero and that final play and the 639 00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,680 Speaker 1: score was not tied, that foul is considered to have 640 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,880 Speaker 1: occurred after the play. So while it is noted and 641 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: possibly a discipline issue, there is no place to enforce it. 642 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: By rule, the game would be over best and worst 643 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,240 Speaker 1: of the weekend, and then we'll dive into this Larry 644 00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: Fitzgerald situation, Todd, I'll start with you best and worst 645 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: of the weekend. My best of the weekend JETSQB Zach 646 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,000 Speaker 1: Wilson nine of eleven twenty eight yards, two tds, no 647 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,400 Speaker 1: picks Green Bay on Saturday, also at home against Detroit, 648 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: Big Ben goes eight of ten four hundred and thirty 649 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:44,240 Speaker 1: seven yards, two tds and no interceptions as well. Worst 650 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,920 Speaker 1: of the weekend. I know it's the preseason, but the Panthers, Bucks, 651 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 1: and Seahawks only score three this weekend, and the Eagles 652 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: sorry McLevin, scored zero at Homing at thirty five nothing 653 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,920 Speaker 1: loss to New England. I'm not ready to buy in 654 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:03,520 Speaker 1: on Ben Roethlisberger, just not. I know, you know new 655 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: diet and now I bought into him before, but I'm 656 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: not sure if no, no, no, not this season going 657 00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,520 Speaker 1: back to Miami Ohio, No, no, this, I just I'm 658 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: not sure about that team. You're in a pretty competitive 659 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:27,320 Speaker 1: division here with Baltimore and Cleveland. Not quite sure who's 660 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,480 Speaker 1: more likely to be back with their team next year. 661 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:37,880 Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger Aaron Rodgers, because if Ben plays well, is 662 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: Ben gonna go? Thank you good night? Like there's a 663 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: chance Aaron Rodgers could play well and not come back 664 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,320 Speaker 1: to Green Bay. Even if he doesn't play that well, 665 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: he will still be playing next season. Somewhere. It feels 666 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 1: like unless he takes the Jeopardy job. Boy, did Jeopardy 667 00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: screw up something that you didn't think they could possibly 668 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 1: screw up? Like I thought they hired the boring guy. Yeah, well, 669 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 1: they hired the guy that nobody knew. But apparently they, 670 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,839 Speaker 1: you know, dug up something he said on a podcast, 671 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's still the executive producer 672 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: of Jeopardy and now they're looking for a guest tost 673 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,919 Speaker 1: here they go back behind the scenes, if you don't mind. 674 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,520 Speaker 1: He did tape some shows, and I think that they're 675 00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: going to air those shows. Mike Richards, I believe is 676 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 1: his name, and I don't know if they're going to 677 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: air him, though I had heard that the opposite m 678 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: there's some speculation that those will never see the light 679 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: of day. You think they're going to see the light 680 00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: of day. We used the executive producer. They should do 681 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,799 Speaker 1: a category former Jeopardy host. Does he make they ever 682 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 1: did a category? Would he make it? Or do you 683 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: have to get one show under your belt? Well he did, 684 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: he did. He did a whole week of shows. So 685 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,800 Speaker 1: he's a he's a former Jeopardy host guest host. You know, 686 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: I heard from somebody who works there who said that 687 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 1: they loved Savanna of Guthrie, that she was really great 688 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: at that role, in that role, but you know, she 689 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: does the Today Show. Because when this first started, and 690 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 1: you know, somebody from Sony said, you know, look, you 691 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,680 Speaker 1: did Sports Jeopardy. You interested in doing this? And I said, 692 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm not because, first of all, I don't want to 693 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: do that full time. I didn't want to give up 694 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,359 Speaker 1: this job. But I did Sports Jeopardy but six years 695 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: ago and we did one hundred episodes. But I didn't 696 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,280 Speaker 1: want to go in there. And it wasn't a vanity 697 00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,160 Speaker 1: play where I go, hey, I'm going to host Jeopardy 698 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 1: for a week. I didn't care about that. Those who 699 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: wanted to do it, they should be the ones getting 700 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:40,959 Speaker 1: the opportunity, and not that I would have gotten the job. 701 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 1: Although if you go back to is this ten years 702 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,400 Speaker 1: ago that I met with the head of Sony and 703 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,879 Speaker 1: Steve Moscow, and he had it up all of this 704 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 1: and he said, look, we think Alex is going to retire. 705 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 1: And I met with him in New York. I had 706 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,719 Speaker 1: just been at the Player's Championship for NBC and I 707 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,880 Speaker 1: flew up that that morning met with him in a 708 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,520 Speaker 1: restaurant in Midtown. He had just flown back from France. 709 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: And he said, are you if Alex steps down, would 710 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: you be interested in Jeopardy? And I said, yeah, I 711 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 1: mean it's like, that's that's the game show that you 712 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,319 Speaker 1: want to do. That that's it's more than just kind 713 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: of gimmicky goofy. You know. I've been offered you know, 714 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 1: prices right, and uh, let's make a deal. I was 715 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: offered those jobs, but I just didn't want to do those. 716 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 1: And I remember meeting with Steve and he said, look, 717 00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: if Alex steps down, are you interested in the job. 718 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: And I said yeah, and he said, okay, well we'd 719 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: probably want you to come out in audition. I go okay. 720 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: And that was really it, because they thought Alex was 721 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,279 Speaker 1: going to retire then, and Alex of course didn't, and 722 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,399 Speaker 1: they came up with Sports Jeopardy flew out. They said 723 00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: we're going to do Sports Jeopardy, And at no point 724 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,240 Speaker 1: did I go, well, I'm sort of auditioning for Jeopardy 725 00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: because that's not what I wanted to do. If you 726 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: said I could do Sports Jeopardy or Jeopardy right now, 727 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: I would do Sports Jeopardy. I enjoyed it. It's in 728 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:17,080 Speaker 1: my wheelhouse. It was fun, and you know, I was 729 00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't tied to a job where here's another thing. 730 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: You have to do four or five shows a day. 731 00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: So when Aaron Rodgers goes, hey, I could still be 732 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:31,480 Speaker 1: the quarterback of the Packers and still do Jeopardy. He could, 733 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: but you don't just do one show a day, and 734 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 1: your off season is going to be doing four or 735 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,399 Speaker 1: five of those a day. Alex did five, I think 736 00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:46,320 Speaker 1: a day. Pat Sajack sometimes does six or seven Wheel 737 00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: of Fortune episodes a day. Jeopardy is a grind. When 738 00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: you're doing even Sports Jeopardy. I would do four shows 739 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 1: a day, sometimes five, and you were just mentally exhausted 740 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: from it. And if you're doing five a day, even 741 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: if you're doing forty five days, but you're still doing 742 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 1: that to get all the episodes for a year. I 743 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: mean it's a lot. And that's why Alex was he 744 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: was a machine. I mean, he was into fatiguable. I 745 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,160 Speaker 1: mean he was just and he had his knee replaced 746 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 1: and he's still out there doing it and that's just 747 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:29,920 Speaker 1: not something I wanted to do. It was great challenge. 748 00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: Loved it, but and I don't know what they're gonna do. Now. 749 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,080 Speaker 1: Do you have LeVar Burton come in? I know he 750 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: really wants it. Ken Jennings, former champ. I'm not sure, 751 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: but it felt like, man, we got this great thing, 752 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: all this publicity after losing Alex, and here you are, 753 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: and that's a billion dollar business in Jeopardy might even 754 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,840 Speaker 1: be more than that. These are big decisions, man, but 755 00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,840 Speaker 1: wonderful people behind the scenes though that worked on Sports Jeopardy, 756 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:11,520 Speaker 1: they work on Jeopardy Final Hour.
