Here on a it's Wednesday, right, It 5 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: is Wednesday. Yet those holiday weekends and and frankly before 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: the July was on a Sunday, but still the Federal 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: holiday dragged into Monday. And then you're like, what what day? 8 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: What what day is it? Well, look, it's it's the 9 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: day after the first day of the NBA Finals. We've 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: gotta get to that in a second. Um, Aaron Rodgers 11 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: put on the peribial hot seat. But during the match, 12 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: when he's just trying to play some golf, Um, well 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: you will. We'll try and decipher why and what he said, 14 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 1: even though he didn't actually say all that much. Maybe 15 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: it's the tone. We'll try and read it. Um, some 16 00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 1: Moronscara Richardson, who is not not going to the Olympics, 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: even though she would have been at eligible to run 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: in the four by one hundred, even though she wasn't 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: eligible to running, not shocked by that all you dog 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: that that that they didn't invite her. Um well, the 21 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: fact that the suspension was so short in comparison to 22 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: other suspensions. It felt like every they felt like like 23 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: we want to find a way to loophole to get 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,839 Speaker 1: you to run. I'm a little surprised. Yeah, I didn't 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: think so. I told Chris immediately that even though the 26 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,320 Speaker 1: suspension would be over, I would be surprised that they 27 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: would pick her over somebody who hadn't, you know, hadn't 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: gone through a suspension in the whole nine yard. That 29 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: that was just my I never she was the fastest 30 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: woman at the trials. I get did a mount and 31 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: you're trying to win as the four by one hundred, 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: and it also didn't count on her like so she 33 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: was disqualified, so her numbers she didn't rank in the time. 34 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: I unders I understand, like, look, I know what you're saying. 35 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, but I and I'm not. 36 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm i've i am not. Uh, let 37 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: let Skerry run like I'm not one of those dudes. 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 1: Just it. I mean, there's there's a rule. Again, I 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: don't I'm not gonna argue whether that the rule is 40 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 1: smart or stupid, right, but there is a rule. She 41 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: knew of the rule and she violated the rule, there 42 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: has to be some But if the rule is it, 43 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: if the suspension expires before the four one hundred, and 44 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: she's the fastest one in America and she just won 45 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: the Olympic trials, Like, what are we doing? I actually 46 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: I would disagree with you on it. I think she 47 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: should have been invited. I think she should have run. O. Um, well, 48 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. We'll dig in that. And then 49 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: I think you want to you want to get to 50 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: this this baseball column. You have that Fernando Tatist junior. 51 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: You would take him over, Show Hey Otani that that 52 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: I will. I will enjoy that conversation. No that and 53 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: show Hey. I mean, And the thing is, dog sometimes 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: when you write a column, yes you gotta bash one 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: guy to lift up the other guy. No, I'm not 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 1: bashing at all. Show Hey anything he's done. He's been 57 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: fantasic astic as advertised. But if you just dig into 58 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: the numbers off tattoos, he's played as well as anybody 59 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: who's ever played the game. And I think that's lost 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 1: a little bit because of Showhey being a two way star. 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: That's all, okay, we'll get into let's start with the 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: game one NBA Finals. Um. The short summation is Jannis 63 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: wasn't expected to play by some he didn't. I was shocked, 64 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: was shocked. I gotta do the Larry. I can't do 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: the Larry. Were you shocked by what you saw was 66 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: out there? You were? You were really surprised? Yeah? I was. 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: I just I didn't think like all the indications, how 68 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: coy they were. I just thought it was And he 69 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: looked fine, you know, as far as I mean, he 70 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: didn't play great, but he looked fine, like like there 71 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: was no limitations. What did you see, you know, as 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: of being a former baketball player at a high level. 73 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: I didn't think. Did I think he moved perfectly? No? 74 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: Like in terms of his explosiveness. Um uh. And but 75 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: I thought the idea is, if he's not hurt and 76 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: he can play, you play, because you're not if you're 77 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: gonna try and steal one in Phoenix, you're not gonna. 78 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be like a game too. 79 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: When all of a sudden, you know, all of a sudden, 80 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: he hasn't played in a week, a week and a half, 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: and he played. You gotta get a little bit of 82 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the rust out. You gotta figure things out. I thought, 83 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: I don't even think that was the biggest factor in 84 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: the game. No, he was not himself, but he was 85 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 1: closer to himself than he was to being injured, right, 86 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: So that that was was a little bit surprised, but 87 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: that crazy. I mean I watched the video yesterday of 88 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: him warming up and it didn't look as explosive as normal, 89 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: but it was pretty close. The big question is, how 90 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: does he wake up feeling today. Right. If he's right, 91 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: then he's a little sore because he played yesterday and 92 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: he hadn't played in a week. If if it's all 93 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: swoll up, and now we have ourselves a problem. And 94 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: they actually did work him back in far too early. 95 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,840 Speaker 1: I thought they managed his minutes in a smart way 96 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: that um, you know, they've always held his minutes down there, 97 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: But to do it where it's always pretty long stints, 98 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: that to me is the biggest mistake that people make. 99 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 1: If you're gonna play somebody, you gotta play him early 100 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: when they're warmed up, and you gotta play him over 101 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 1: long stretches of time, you know, until fatigue, and then 102 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: you take him out when he gets tired. Um, but 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: I you know, like, look, he ends up with twenty 104 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: and seventeen and four assists and plus one. He wasn't terrible. 105 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: He wasn't They lost because they couldn't stop Phoenix. Their 106 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: defensive coverage was just a terrible man could right Chris Paul, 107 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: who just had another historic night another the old man 108 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: dialing up a big game. We saw it in Game 109 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,839 Speaker 1: six against the Clippers, and now we saw it in 110 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: Game one of the finals. So he's playing as well 111 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,119 Speaker 1: as you can play Doug at least the last couple 112 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: of games. So how do you stop him? I'd love 113 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: to hear your what should they do? I mean, well, 114 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 1: I mean obviously having having Brook Lopez kind of switch 115 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: drop covers that does not see it didn't work again, 116 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 1: wasn't working against Trey Young in Game one, and then 117 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: they moved him up some and it did. It did help. 118 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: But I mean, if there's one thing Chris Paul does 119 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,720 Speaker 1: as well as anyone who's ever played the game, it's 120 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: come off that come off a high ball screen going 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: downhill and make the correct read for if you didn't 122 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: watch Chris Paul thirty two points nine assists, He's twelve 123 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: and nineteen from the floor, and then DeAndre Ayton, who 124 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: of course he's playing with in some of that action, 125 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: has twenty two points, nineteen rebounds, and only misses two 126 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,679 Speaker 1: shots eight of ten. I mean everything catching, finishing around 127 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: the basket, which is a good place for him to 128 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: be perfect, right, and then Campaign came out the bench 129 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: and he's finally healthy, and remember how well he played. 130 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,559 Speaker 1: I think that for Milwaukee they're gonna have to change 131 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: the defensive coverage and they're gonna have to change the matchups. 132 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: And I think one of the questions will be can 133 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,919 Speaker 1: you go to Jannis as center? And then is it 134 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: is it Bryn Forbes who comes in end plays or 135 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,359 Speaker 1: you know, or if you do Jannis and center, do 136 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: you stick with PJ Tucker? You know PJ wasn't terrible 137 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: on offense, but Pat connoting gives you a little bit more. 138 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: Or do you can use Bobby Portis the issue becomes 139 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: You know that that court gets really really tight on 140 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: offense when you have Jannis and Brook Lopez and they're 141 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: not good enough defensively with those teams two, but the 142 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: type of coverage they were using was not working against Phoenix, 143 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: and just like it did not work against Atlantic game 144 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:33,239 Speaker 1: one of the last series. Do you look at Jannis 145 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: as winning in this situation, Doug? And I know, obviously 146 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: his game one of the finals. Nothing has been determined. 147 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: They could bounce back and win. I'm not just saying 148 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: it's all over or whatever, but but does Janis win 149 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: in this from the standpoint that you know he didn't 150 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: leave Milwaukee. He could have forced his way out. I 151 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: know you had one year left on his contract. He 152 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: could have told him, hey, I'm not coming back. If 153 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: you want to get something, you better do it now 154 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: and move on and I want to go join other people. 155 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: And instead he stayed in the smaller market. He signed 156 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: a big deal and he's in the finals. What by 157 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: hook or crook or you know, injuries to other players 158 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: or whatever, however they got there, they're in the finals. 159 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 1: Is this a validation for Jannis though, that he stuck 160 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: around and when and if he did win, Doug, would 161 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 1: that elevate him somewhat that he won a championship? I don't. 162 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: I don't think. I think the small market thing is 163 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 1: people the people in the NBA talk about it, and 164 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: I think people will cover the NBA talk about it 165 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: and I guess fans do some, but I don't. I 166 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: think it's more about staying and more about not joining 167 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: the super team. Which is interesting because it's one of 168 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: the things that fans will always say, like, will we 169 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: like that more? We don't like when you okay, but 170 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,839 Speaker 1: will you watch the Bucks or would you watch if 171 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: he had joined? I agree, Nicks, the Lakers, whomever would 172 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: would you watch that more? And the answer is, of 173 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: course you would watch that more. So we are a 174 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: bit hypocritical, and it's they've had a more than fortunate 175 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: run here as the Sons have had a more Sons 176 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: have had probably the most fortunate run. I called their 177 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:16,719 Speaker 1: run fugazy because in every round, you know between a 178 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: d and Jamal Murray and Kawhi Leonard and even Jannis 179 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: who wound up playing and I'm not gonna say he's 180 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: heard he played, but they've had a nice run. It's 181 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: not to take anything away from the Suns. It's just 182 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: laying out the facts that things have fallen right their way. 183 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: I don't know everybody was saying the Lakers had control 184 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: of the series after they went up to one Dug. 185 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: Do you remember right, like they Oh, the Lakers have this, 186 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: they're in control, and then a d gets hurt in 187 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: the fourth game, and all of a sudden everything's changed. 188 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: I truly believe if Kawhi Leonard was healthy, that the 189 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: Clippers would be in the NBA Finals and not the Suns. 190 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: I believe that. But and Jamal Murray, we know Denver 191 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: had done a nice job without them, but they ran 192 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: out at some point, losing a star player. Doug catches 193 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: up to you, I'm all right at some point, and 194 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: they had a nice run and Joakis had done a 195 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: great job won the MVP kept them winning, but ultimately, uh, 196 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: you know, it didn't help in the end. So uh 197 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: it's full gazy to me, but it still counts. Yeah, 198 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look, look, here's we talked about this sum 199 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: on my show. By the way, if you like Rob 200 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: Parker's on the Odd Couple, which is seven to ten 201 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: Eastern time, four to seven Pacific. I'm Doug Gotlieb. Doug 202 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: Gotlib show is three to six Eastern, twelve to three 203 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: Pacific right here on these serious sex sem stations and 204 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio on the iHeart Radio app. Um, 205 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: but I think that um, we in the short term, 206 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: like we have a mental asterisk for this season, right, 207 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: you kidding me? Jamal Murray didn't play, Anthony Davis got heard. 208 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 1: We go through all these guys, but in the long term, 209 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: we don't. We just don't. When the Spurs won in 210 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: the lockout short year, right, I mean one of the 211 00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 1: how many titles have Tim Nunger won five titles, but 212 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: five out of six, which is incredible. If if Ray 213 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: Allen doesn't hit that shot, there's a good chance dog 214 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 1: that they wins, that he goes six and all. Yeah, 215 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: so you knew they were going to come back the 216 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,839 Speaker 1: next year. But I'm just but but yeah, they were 217 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: good enough. All I'm saying is that's how close he 218 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: was for six for six. Okay, But but no one, 219 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: no one ever mentions that they won the lockout year, 220 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: right right, No one ever, no one never, Like, we're 221 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: not even mentioning that when the Warriors won their first title, 222 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: was Steph say, Kyrie got hurt Game one? Everybody they 223 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: had amazing Kevin Kevin Love was her right, No Kyrie, 224 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: no Kevin Love. And but you go through other teams 225 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: they played, and Mike Conley was hurt when they played 226 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: against all the gods were hurt. Number Drew Aliday, I 227 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: think was hurt when they played against They played against 228 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: the New Orleans for two games, so there's everybody was injured. 229 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: Um so, but nobody mentions that. Nobody mentions when when 230 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: Isaiah finally beat the Celtics, right, Larry Bird was hurt, 231 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: didn't even play, So, um I don't. I think in total, 232 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, three, four or five 233 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: years from now, whoever wins the series, it wins the series. 234 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: In an NBA champion, you don't take anything away from him. 235 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: I agree with that. I'm not an asterisk guy. I'm 236 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: just saying, but when you start to look and to me, 237 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: it's only like when you when you're really diving deep 238 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: into it, like, whoever wins will have an NBA championship. 239 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: You can't take it from Chris Paul, you can't take 240 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: it from Jannas. It'll be that they won. And in 241 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: the year where there was a lot of stars that 242 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: went down. So I agree with that, But but it 243 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: just doesn't feel and you're right mentally, there's something there 244 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: that just doesn't feel that great about it. And it's 245 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: not that Phoenix was some lucky team. They were the 246 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: second best team in the West, and they played well 247 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: all year, but man, you just wish that people were 248 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: helped him. We got the seat of best players, and 249 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: whoever wins wins, and it just feels easier to digest. Yeah, 250 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: I would say Game one, Chris Paul kun destroyed, Drew Holiday, 251 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: Drew Drew struggled and and the Bucks coverage did not 252 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: appear to be the right one. Even they're trying to 253 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: force Chris Paul to his left hand. He was, he 254 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: was slicing and dicing. DeAndre was great, Booker was good, 255 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: Jannis did move well. But they're gonna have to make 256 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: make a ton gonna make a ton of adjustments that 257 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: there's and and we'll see and it's not something that 258 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: Mike Budenholzer has done a ton of that. That's what 259 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: he's been accused of doing, the same thing, just moving 260 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: a guy up a little bit more in coverage, although 261 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: obviously they made some adjustments to end up taking down 262 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: the Atlanta Hawks in the last series. Be sure to 263 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays 264 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports 265 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: Radio and the iHeart Radio WAP.

So, I mean, Rob, how much 271 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,560 Speaker 1: of the match did you watch? Because they started off 272 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: late in the afternoon.

I just it's always like whatever, Like, uh, 288 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, I believe like you make these decisions and 289 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: where you want to live, and you know you're paid 290 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: for certain things in luxuries. You know, it costs to 291 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: live in southern I've lived in southern California, Los Angeles, 292 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: New York, expensive cities, but I've also lived in Detroit 293 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: in the Midwest for twenty years, where it's very, very inexpensive. Doug, 294 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: If I told you what my mortgage was in Detroit, 295 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: you wouldn't believe it. For a house and a double 296 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: lot and an in ground swimming pool and a half 297 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: basketball court and a deck, a beautiful deck. You ready, 298 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna share it with you. Why are you sharing? This? 299 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,479 Speaker 1: All depends on what neighborhood you're in, right, like Birmingham, 300 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: gross Point, Southfield, somewhere very nice, very very nice. This 301 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: is up until twenty What you did to buy the house? 302 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: What ears you buy the house? I bought the house 303 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: and maybe twenty ten, okay, but so you bought it 304 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: during that at the at the when it bottomed out 305 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 1: of the recession. Okay, I'm not gonna tell you what 306 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: I paid for the house, but my mortgage is seven 307 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty dollars. Okay, didn't be Is that ridiculous? Yeah? Yeah, 308 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: but again, like if you bought it distressed property in 309 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten, right, it wasn't distressed, but then 310 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: you got to live in then you're in Detroit, right, Like, 311 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: there's there's pluses and minuses. And that's what I'm saying, Like, 312 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: you decide what it is that you want. But like 313 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: people fleeing uh New York and southern California, that's fine. 314 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: I think everybody's got to make their own decision. But 315 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 1: moving somewhere that you're really not crazy about, you know 316 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: what I mean? Just to save money? No, look, I 317 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: don't know if it's just if it's just to save money. 318 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 1: I think what happens is if you grow up. I mean, look, 319 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: I grew up in southern California. I moved away and 320 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: I just loved Like when I live in Connecticut, I 321 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: loved it. I loved having you really I loved having 322 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: a yard winters there just okay, well, that's that's what okay. 323 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, are you are you outside during 324 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: the winter and when you have a little honestly, like 325 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: when you have little kids, it's super fun. You're like 326 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: snow day, you go and seleb with your kids. I 327 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,640 Speaker 1: got I lived here.

Uh? 329 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: And I didn't even realize the effect it had on 330 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 1: my life and how I felt until I came to 331 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: southern California and until I got the SunNet you had, 332 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: you had seasonal depressions. Yeah, listen, I didn't know it, though, 333 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 1: I think. I think if I look back, you know, 334 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: like my freshman year I went to Notre Dame. What 335 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: I struggle with the most at Notre Dame in terms 336 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,440 Speaker 1: of like mental health would be the sun didn't come out. 337 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: I remember, and like when you go there in September, 338 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: it's beautiful.

Like, yes, he was 396 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: a big NBA star.

When ESPN didn't renew my contract, 409 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: he was one of the first two people who called 410 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,399 Speaker 1: me and left me an unbelievable message of encouragement. Uh, 411 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: Charles called me and the other guy was Dwight Gooden 412 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: who texted me.

I wish I would have saved that message 415 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: from Charles, but he's an incredible guy. Dwight Goodon as 416 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: your number. Yes, I covered Dwight Gooden in New York, 417 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: my first your oldest Dirton.

But even when you send it, you're like, 426 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: do I need to sign my name by it? This 427 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: is kind of a big right, I'm not bragg. Tracy Morgan. 428 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,479 Speaker 1: Tracy Morgan, he's a big time star. Yeah. So if 429 00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: you texted him right now, he would text you back 430 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: in time. He would text me back how much time? Who? No, no, no, 431 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: he would text me back. Seriously. But there's other guys 432 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: like all these guys baseball, especially baseball players from when 433 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: I was covering baseball, Darryl Strawberry, Cecil Field or David Justice, 434 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: all those guys, Dwight Gooden, you know, like who played 435 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: during that time. Uh, and I was covering baseball. So yeah, 436 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: um okay, So so what do you take of what 437 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers doing the at I don't know, I don't know. 438 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there was there was another there's another job 439 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: by Tom Brady about Aaron Rodgers where they did some 440 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: kind Jeopardy esque question and it was the day before 441 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: in leading up to the match, and you know he 442 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: tom Brady said like and he has no options, and 443 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: he's mad at his boss, and of course Aaron Rodgers 444 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: making sure to chime in. I never said I was 445 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: mad at my boss time anyway. But the point is 446 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 1: he doesn't really have any options if they're not going 447 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: to trade him, and they don't want to trade him, 448 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: they're not going to trade him. So it does kind 449 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: of become a waste of time conversation only in that 450 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: wild Are you gonna retire? You're gonna actually play football 451 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: this year? Yeah? I just can't see him retiring. And 452 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: it's not just the muddy aspect of it, just where 453 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: he is coming off an MVP, you only have a 454 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: certain amount of years left, Doug. I just I just 455 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: think that would be career suicide to sit out because 456 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: the Packers also would own his rights, wouldn't they And 457 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: if he won't decide to come back. I remember when 458 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: Barry Sanders left the Lions, you know, they still held 459 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: on to his rights, and if even if he wanted 460 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: to come back, he would have to come back there, 461 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: and then they still you know, would have had to 462 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: trade him or get something for him. He couldn't just 463 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 1: come back to any team. So I don't know, it's 464 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: a it's a weird situation. Uh, he's in a good 465 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: situation with that team. I didn't like the coaches called 466 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: at the end of that playoff game against the Bucks, 467 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, but the pieces and the that he has 468 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,719 Speaker 1: and the team that they have do they have another 469 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: shot to to to to make another run and get 470 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: to another Super Bowl. They probably should have been the 471 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 1: two other super Bowls to be honest. Uh that on 472 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: sidekick at Seattle, you remember that box, I mean, that 473 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: was all you gotta do is secure. He knocked the 474 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: ball away from Jordy Nelson. I can't remember the tight 475 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: ends name, um, but uh yeah, it wasn't Jordy Nelson. 476 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 1: No no, no no, no no. The Bostock or something like that. 477 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: Doug Block like hit got in the way of Jordy 478 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,359 Speaker 1: Nelson who was behind him, and the ball came loose. 479 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: But my point is, you know, he's in a good situation. 480 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: Kenny work through working with bosses or people, general manager 481 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: or whoever he's not fond of or whatever. You know, 482 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: we've all done it. You've done it, I've done it. 483 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to bite your lip and just 484 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 1: keep working because of the situation you're in. It would 485 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,200 Speaker 1: be great if we could all just decide we've had 486 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: enough and walk, you know, walk away. But I think 487 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: that's too hard for him. No, I mean, plus, the 488 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: way the new rules are in the NFL. Okay, if 489 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: he just sits out of practice and he just no shows, 490 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: it's like ninety grand a day, and it's not the 491 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: old fines and the old collective art in agreement, you 492 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 1: can find a guy that you didn't have to collect. 493 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: These have to be collected, and again doesn't get collected 494 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: by the team, So he's gonna cost himself a bunch 495 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: of money. The idea of retiring the Carson Palmer plan 496 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: that doesn't feel like a good one because yes, they 497 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: do still retain his rights that he could force a trade, 498 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: but that would take it likely take him out of 499 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: play this year, because if you're Green Bay, you're not 500 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: going to trade him to Denver, you know, before the 501 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: year starts, or even in the middle of the year, 502 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: because your your draft pick would be too would would 503 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 1: would suffer. It's like when when, uh uh, when what's 504 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: his name mac get got traded from the Raiders to 505 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: the Bears. Everybody thought that would be a you know, 506 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 1: a top five pick and Khalil Mack, and then all 507 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you trade Khalil Mack to the Bears 508 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: and they have an outstanding season, and that becomes a 509 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,199 Speaker 1: pick in the twenties. You put Aaron Rodgers and the 510 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: Broncos now and they're not a super Bowl favorite, but 511 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: there are definitely a playoff favorite, and that those become 512 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: just very average draft picks, so nothing special. So the 513 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: Packers aren't motivated to trade him right away. I still 514 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: think even no matter what people feel like they've done 515 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: in trying to secure their future and how they communicate 516 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 1: with him, they still are sort of the good guys 517 00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,679 Speaker 1: in this thing. And Aaron Rodgers is coming off an 518 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: MVP year where he'll have a shot to win it again. 519 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: I don't see him having a shot wherever they trade 520 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: him on short notice, So the best plan is to 521 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 1: go and play, and then this sets the table for 522 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: what they want to do next year. Some people are 523 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna redo his contract now, They're gonna, you know, 524 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: find a way to you know, make him happy financially 525 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 1: and maybe shorten the term because in truth, he's under 526 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 1: contract for three more years with the Green Bay Packers. 527 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: But I'm fascinated to see what other option he has. 528 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like he has any other option. And 529 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: to show up to practice week one week one of 530 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: the of the preseason and to get after it. Yeah, 531 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: I agree, I think and and and I don't know 532 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of that organization. 533 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: You know, because normally I'm of the belief that if 534 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: somebody doesn't want to be on a team you don't want, 535 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: you know, I would rather move them than not because 536 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: you're not going to get your best from somebody who 537 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: doesn't want to be there. But in this case, I agree, 538 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,840 Speaker 1: the Packers lose all the way around if they move 539 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And I don't know if you want to 540 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: be that general manager or be the you will meet 541 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: j Aaron Rodgers still has a much juice, That's what 542 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Right, you don't want to be that guy 543 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,040 Speaker 1: because that's going to live with you. And and I'm like, 544 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna bite the bullet. I'm not going to 545 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: be that guy who did it. I agree, all right? 546 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: Coming up next, Rob Parker has shown his vast, incredible 547 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: knowledge of the sport of baseball, which leads me to well, 548 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 1: how did the hell does he think Fernando Tatiss is 549 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: a better dude to start a franchise with than show 550 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 1: Heyo Tani But it apparently is a real take or 551 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,840 Speaker 1: maybe not. We'll get to that next with Rob Parker. 552 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 1: I'm Doug gottlie This the Dan Patricks Show.

They just 573 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: well they just didn't play that much together, and that, 574 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, trying to protect I think trying to protect 575 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: your honest is a big reason why we'll get back 576 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: to makes hour plus. The story in the media that 577 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 1: has kind of gone mainstream that everybody's talking about, Well, 578 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,560 Speaker 1: we'll dive in at the top of the hour. Rob though, 579 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: is a baseball nut, right, Like that's your It's not 580 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 1: necessarily your bread and butter. Um, I would say your 581 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: bread and butter is Tom Brady's the luckiest quarterback of 582 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: all time. Like that's your that's that's that's the take 583 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: you're most known for. There's been others, but baseball is 584 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: something that you m have an incredible passion for it. 585 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 1: So I was I was kind of trying to peruse 586 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 1: your takes and columns here, so I'm like, I gotta 587 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: cut a chuck with uncle Rob. Did you write that 588 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: you'd rather you'd rather start a franchise with Fernando Tatis 589 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 1: Junior than Shohio Tony. Absolutely, and in no disrespect showhey 590 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 1: lead to major leagues and home runs with thirty one 591 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: and obviously you can throw up the ball one hundred 592 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,440 Speaker 1: miles an hour. You know, it doesn't have like what 593 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: is he three and one or something and has a 594 00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: pretty good d r A and his pitch well, I mean, 595 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,760 Speaker 1: he does everything. But if you look at Fernando tattoos 596 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 1: in the project, first of all, Doug and not what 597 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 1: a fun team. That is an atmosphere and have you 598 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 1: noticed like yes, crowds that I mean, am I right? 599 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: Like yes? So people who when they since they've opened Petco, 600 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: for the most part, they haven't truly been competitive. It's 601 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 1: an incredible park, great location, the gas lamp keeps getting better, 602 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: and but there's just there's not really the energy of 603 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: a baseball game, and baseball energy is hard to generate anyway, 604 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: especially with the way the game's played now, where it's 605 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 1: home run, walker, strikeout seemingly it's seemingly every play. But 606 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: uh no, there's great that he's look he steals bases 607 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: as well. I haven't but how could you go ahead 608 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: of you if you want to finish your your your 609 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: your thought. Yes there is great energy in the park, 610 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, but but it's not. Just what Showhy's 611 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: doing is incredible, Like nobody's done this since Babe Ruth. 612 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: He just made the All Star Team. I'm going to 613 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,600 Speaker 1: Denver for the All Star Game, Doug next Tuesday. He's 614 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: going to be in a home run hitting contests on Monday. 615 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,920 Speaker 1: All great stuff. And there's nothing I can say about 616 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: show Hay as if he's come as advertised, he's worth 617 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: every single penny that the Angels are paying him and 618 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 1: all that. But if you look at tattoos and his numbers, 619 00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,960 Speaker 1: and I know people will be well, he leads the 620 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,720 Speaker 1: league in error, that'll be the first thing that jumps 621 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: out to him. I get it. And that can improve, 622 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 1: and he can make better decisions with throwing the baseball, 623 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: and he gets to a lot of balls and he 624 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: makes a lot of great plays. Does he make too 625 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: many errors, Yes, But if you look at everything else, Doug, 626 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,720 Speaker 1: and he's off to the best start of anybody who's 627 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: ever played the game. I mean, his first hundred games 628 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: were better than Ken Griffey juniors and Hank Aarons and 629 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 1: Mike Trout and all the other people that you know, 630 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: people talk about if you talk about his first hundred 631 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 1: and sixty two games, first player ever to have more 632 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:03,760 Speaker 1: than forty home runs and twenty steals and you know, 633 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: and and all these other and one hundred RBIs. Nobody 634 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,240 Speaker 1: ever in the history of baseball did that at least 635 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: forty home runs, hundred RBIs and twenty stolen bases in 636 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,000 Speaker 1: their first hundred and sixty two games. This guy's only 637 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,919 Speaker 1: twenty three years old, and the Padres did the right 638 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,920 Speaker 1: thing when they signed him the twelve or thirteen year contract. 639 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean? Like, here's a guy 640 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 1: I get all of that. He's a great player, but 641 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:31,239 Speaker 1: you can't how are you gonna compare with a guy 642 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: who is and he hasn't been as good as starting pitcher. 643 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 1: He's obviously coming off of Tommy John surgery. But he's 644 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 1: pretty dominant, you know. I mean, like, here's a guy 645 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: U eighty seven strikeouts in sixty seven as he is 646 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,280 Speaker 1: a below four r A with on a very average 647 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: baseball team, and they've been playing without Mike Trout. You know, obviously, 648 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: don't go by wins and losses. But he's an excellent pitcher, 649 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,239 Speaker 1: excellent pitcher, and he's in the conversation the best hitter 650 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,880 Speaker 1: in the league. Well, he's not even bating three hundred 651 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,600 Speaker 1: in the league. And here's who's doing it, bating three 652 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 1: d Tatis is batting three h five. Nobody cares about 653 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 1: batting average non, but but in the league where pictures 654 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: have dominated, they don't. They don't care about batting average. No, 655 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 1: he's still batting over three hundred. My point, he's the 656 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 1: lifetime three h two hitter. All I'm saying, and don't 657 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: get me wrong, show hey is batting two seventy seven 658 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: or two seventy one. I'm not criticizing him just on that. 659 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: But if you just talk about the numbers that Tatties 660 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: have put has put up to start a career, nobody's 661 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,720 Speaker 1: been better. How could you not want that guy who's 662 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,239 Speaker 1: better than And then they did, uh MLB Network did 663 00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: a breakdown of a season with ops plus and I'm 664 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: not gonna get all complicated with it, but but the 665 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: people who were up there, there were six players who 666 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,520 Speaker 1: had the best season zever. Three of the guys their 667 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 1: pictures were in black and white. Ted Williams twice and 668 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 1: Ty Cobb, and then the other three players were Soto 669 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 1: from a year ago, Vlad from this year, and Tattoos 670 00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 1: from this year. That that is, that's the company he's keeping. 671 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 1: And all I'm saying there's no Shohio Tani in that 672 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:15,319 Speaker 1: list for as much as he's done. And all I'm 673 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,080 Speaker 1: saying is when you dig deep and you see him 674 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: listed with Ted Williams and Ty Cobb, that's the guy 675 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: I want to start a team with. Okay, but you 676 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: just a fair argument or no, I think I shut 677 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:31,120 Speaker 1: you down right now. You didn't because well because you 678 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,200 Speaker 1: led with saying what Shohio Tani is doing we haven't 679 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: seen since Babe Ruth. Okay, so um we can like 680 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: what he's doing is little league stuff. Do you think 681 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,279 Speaker 1: I'm gonna continue with Doug? Do you think he's gonna 682 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: be a hitter and Pitcher's entire career? Yes? Yes, No 683 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,200 Speaker 1: you don't. There's no way because I just don't think. 684 00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: I said at some point, you don't want to risk 685 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,280 Speaker 1: this guy having some sort of arm injury. He's already 686 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 1: had a couple of times. But you might say this 687 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: guy needs to be a hitter, Babe Ruth did it 688 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: for five years with the Red Sox and then he decided, 689 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,239 Speaker 1: this guy's too good of a hitter not to have 690 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,160 Speaker 1: him in the line up every day to play for you. 691 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,000 Speaker 1: And that's what's gonna happen to Old Tony. So while 692 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: it's a it's a nice circus act now and people 693 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 1: are marveled at it, it's not something that I believe 694 00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: can be sustained, okay, But we're not arguing whether or 695 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 1: not how long you sustain it, Okay. What the point 696 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: is what he's doing we haven't seen since Babe Ruth 697 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,160 Speaker 1: in a in a league where like if we took 698 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 1: out the steroid we took out the steroid era. Right now, 699 00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 1: he's on he's right on pace for Marris which which 700 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,760 Speaker 1: we have we haven't frankly seen since they took steroids 701 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: out of baseball. So he's his ops is one point 702 00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:50,040 Speaker 1: zero five fours yet three point five war like dudes 703 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,560 Speaker 1: is stud hitting the baseball, okay, and he's maybe not 704 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 1: a top ten pitcher, but in the top twenty, top 705 00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,480 Speaker 1: twenty five pitchers. Like that's literally stuff where you can dominate. 706 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 1: He's the third man in your rotation. Let's just be honest. 707 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not coming off Tommy John surgery. I'm 708 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 1: not trying to rip him at all, so I don't 709 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:14,680 Speaker 1: want it to come off like that. You're well, you're saying, okay, 710 00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: I think he has the stuff to potentially get back 711 00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 1: to being an ace, but you're trying to monitor the factor. 712 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: He's coming off of Tommy John surgery. He was throwing 713 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: like an ace. They lost some velocity. But the point is, 714 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 1: did you see you man, She's shoulder come out of 715 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 1: his come off his body this year you mentioned you 716 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: mentioned Babe Ruth and then you like, well, then then 717 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: Ty Cobb and what he's doing to start the season 718 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,120 Speaker 1: and Ted Williams. No one saying for Nano Tattis is 719 00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,120 Speaker 1: not an incredible player, and he's not. He's not starting 720 00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,640 Speaker 1: his career at a level which we haven't seen in 721 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: a long time. Nor do we think suddenly he's going 722 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: to fade away. Like he steals bases, he hits for average, 723 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,520 Speaker 1: he hits for power, he has panash, he has like 724 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: all that stuff is great. Shelly Tommy does basically the 725 00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: same thing, only he's a starting pitcher in major leage 726 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: baseball and a damn good one. So I don't really 727 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: see the you're again this is one of those. It's 728 00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: not a terrible argument except for the fact that I 729 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: don't think anybody in the sport would actually make the 730 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: argument except for me, because I think that's down. I 731 00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: think the outside the box is not shutting me down 732 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: with your argument. Yes, I think that if you were really, 733 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,280 Speaker 1: if you pulled most general managers, they would take Tattis. 734 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: I really believe that show hay Is, what he's doing 735 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: is not sustainable, so long term is what him is. 736 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,840 Speaker 1: What he's doing is a hit or sustainable, Yes that is, 737 00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:35,759 Speaker 1: but they still doesn't make him a better hitter than 738 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,080 Speaker 1: than Tatis. Tattis has twenty seven home runs and has 739 00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,040 Speaker 1: been injured twice this year, has been out of the line. 740 00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,400 Speaker 1: If he has twenty seven home runs, OK, so my 741 00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: point is he's having a better year despite not leading 742 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,720 Speaker 1: the league in home runs. Uh and and and uh 743 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: Otani has four home run lead. It ain't like it's 744 00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,120 Speaker 1: thirty one to eleven or something like that. Tattis has 745 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: twenty seven, no question. I mean, it's not like there's 746 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,279 Speaker 1: a bunch of dudes in the Angels lineup currently that 747 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: you're going to pitch around as well. That's also whereas 748 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: the Padres have a much better lineup, and look, Tatis's 749 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,239 Speaker 1: numbers in terms of his war is higher. I'm not, 750 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, but it's it's more that I'm glad for 751 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: the yes that we haven't we just we just It's 752 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: like I have a buddy he plays major League baseball 753 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: and this is before he got hurt, and then he 754 00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: was like, showyo, Tony's the best player in baseball, and 755 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 1: I was like, well, he's not that good. He's like, dude, 756 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:31,640 Speaker 1: do you know how hard it is to do what 757 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,760 Speaker 1: he's doing. There's a reason no one's done it because 758 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: it's really really hard to do it and he doesn't 759 00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 1: lose anything as a hitter and he hasn't lost much 760 00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: as a pitcher. So I I just it's gonna be 761 00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,200 Speaker 1: interesting to see how this how this moves forward. All Right. 762 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,440 Speaker 1: I do love that he's playing. I do love that 763 00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: he's in the home run deer, but you know what 764 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,960 Speaker 1: I mean, like he's he's all in on everything. So 765 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: that's cool. OK. Yeah, I mean I'm sure it's like 766 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: what else was I doing? And it's in it's in cours, 767 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:59,719 Speaker 1: so you know, you get a little, a little high 768 00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 1: up launch angle, those suckers are gonna be gone. Although 769 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,520 Speaker 1: have you ever been to a home run derby? Yes, 770 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 1: I've been to some great ones, great one event. It's 771 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 1: the most event to go to. Oh my god, and 772 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 1: there's another home run and there's another home run. No, 773 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: have you ever hit have you ever hit a ball 774 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,840 Speaker 1: out of a park? No? But that's not the point. 775 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:27,239 Speaker 1: But for those no, it's very different. That's like, that's like, 776 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: let's go watch an NBA player like make mid range 777 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: jump shots. Yeah, have you ever watched the NBA player contest? 778 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,920 Speaker 1: Is boring? This is the home run Derby's way better 779 00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:41,320 Speaker 1: than that. Are you kidding? It's not even close. Um, 780 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: the dunk contest has boring through times when it's boring. 781 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,800 Speaker 1: But but I'm like the dunk's Aaron Gordon has been doing. 782 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,279 Speaker 1: And some of these guys, it's like a friend of 783 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,359 Speaker 1: mine watching Zach Levine is in my area working out, 784 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 1: and he went to watch Zach work out. He's like, Wow, 785 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,560 Speaker 1: Zach Levine can really shoot, Like, dude, he average thirty 786 00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 1: points a game in the NBA. What you'll they'll never 787 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: miss a shot in a workout, like literally, you'll never 788 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:06,520 Speaker 1: miss a shot anyway. Look, there's a huge story rocking 789 00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 1: the sports media world and but I think it's fascinating. 790 00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 1: I think it's crossed over to the mainstream. We'll get 791 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: Rob's thoughts on a share my thoughts on it and 792 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 1: what went wrong for the Bucks in Game one of 793 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. That's next to the then Patrick's Show.
