I begin with basketball. I don't 23 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: know if the Brooklyn Nets are the best team in 24 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: the NBA, but you could argue they're certainly the most interesting. 25 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,760 Speaker 1: And it's been a slow rollout here with the NBA season, 26 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: and I've said probably about twenty five games in then 27 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 1: you'll start to get a little more excited about it. 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 1: We're going to see how good teams are the patterns there. 29 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,040 Speaker 1: I think these players are getting in shape during the season, 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: not prior to the season, and it's understandable with what 31 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: happened in the bubble. But watching last night National TV 32 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: Nets beat the Bucks, Kevin Durant James Harden led the 33 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: way with sixty four combined points. Now you're going to 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: get this discussion today, analysis today, Maybe you got it 35 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: last night, and the reaction is going to be Wow. 36 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: How about Harden and duran after only two games? Well, 37 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: they did play about two hundred games together when they 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 1: were teammates. I do want to point that out. Okay, 39 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I don't want to be a buzz kill where you 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: go out after two games. What are they gonna be 41 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: like after twenty They played two hundred games together in 42 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City I'm guessing, give or take a few, they 43 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: know each other. The key is going to be when 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Kyrie returns, and maybe that's on Wednesday. But it's a 45 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: great offensive team as you come to expect. Harden seems comfortable. 46 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: I think KD is probably your leading candidate for the 47 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: MVP this year. You got a three point specialist in 48 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: Joe Harris, so you can score with anybody. Problem is 49 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: you're going to run into somebody who can score and 50 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: can you play defense. They don't have a rim protector. 51 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: And I know I'm probably nitpicking and you probably don't 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: care to hear about this in January, but you know, 53 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: you go back to the Championship Warriors teams, even when 54 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Kad was there, they're a whole lot better defensively than 55 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 1: you remember. The numbers bear that out. Golden State was 56 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: a good defensive team. They could score with anybody, but 57 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: they could play defense. Now maybe Brooklyn is just one 58 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: of those teams. It says, we're going to try to 59 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: outscore you every single night. We're not worried about playing defense. 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: You better worry about playing defense. The Big Three haven't 61 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: played together yet, but all wise in the NBA will 62 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: certainly be on that debut when Kyrie does come back. 63 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 1: Here is Steve Nash, one of the head coaches of 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I just wanted him to ramp up 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: accordingly to protect him from the unnecessary injury. So I 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: think he got some work yesterday, possibly today. He'll get 67 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: some work tomorrow, and then we'll go to Cleveland and 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: hopefully he'll be available on Wednesday night. Yep, that might 69 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: be the debut of Kyrie Irving. And I don't know 70 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: if there's anything else attached to Kyrie other than what 71 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: I told you, and that was I thought this was 72 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: COVID or related and he was being punished by the NBA. 73 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: Maybe he checked out because of what happened at the 74 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: Capitol with the riots, but he stayed out, and what 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: he did when he was out, he violated protocol. Therefore, 76 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: the NBA was waiting to punish him. That's why we've 77 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: been waiting for him to come back. This program brought 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: to you built Bar, simply the best tasting protein bar 79 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: around eighteen amazing flavors, mint, brownie, coconut, almond, pumpkin, chocolate 80 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: chip cookie.

Okay, we have a few really 92 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: interesting and one kind of dark and demented poll question 93 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: from Polly. Are the Nets better off without Kyrie? Irvy? 94 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it yes or no? Dan Patrick, is 95 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: it two earls too early? Well, because I know Mike 96 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: Harden is your point guard. It's gonna be hard for 97 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: Kyrie is not a great passer, or he could be, 98 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: he doesn't, he doesn't choose. I mean, he has five assists, 99 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: six assists a game. For a guy who has the 100 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: ball all the time, it's going to be really incumbent 101 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: upon him to blend his game with Harden and Durant 102 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: because those two know each other. And now Kyrie, you're 103 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: kind of a two guard, but you have point guard 104 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: skills and Harden's going to have the balls. That's that 105 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: One's tricky there a little bit. But I just want 106 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: to see Kyrie was either you know, I went both 107 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: ways with this start this season, when this was all 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: coming together, when they got hard to go, It's it's 109 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: on Kyrie. That's it. That's what it comes down to. 110 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: Kyrie blends in is complimentary with these two players because 111 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: these are two elite players at what they do. Kyrie 112 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: is fascinating and not afraid of a big moment, can't 113 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: stay healthy, has the best handle in the game. We 114 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: know all of these things, but can he be that 115 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: team player to help these two because Harden is still 116 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: at a higher level than Kyrie and so is KD. 117 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: Now it's up to Kyrie to say, what do I 118 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: need to do to make us better? And if he 119 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: does that, then yeah, he will help this team. I 120 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: just don't know mood swings. Is he gonna pout? Is 121 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: he gonna get his shots not get his touches? I 122 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: have no idea. This is all ego driven when it 123 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: comes to this high level of you know, players who 124 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: have to have the ball. You know, there was a 125 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: moment yesterday last night, Harden's got the ball, Kadi's got 126 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: his arm out and just throw it to him, and 127 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: Harden went the other way, took their shot and scored. 128 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not Basketball is not as easy as 129 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: they make it, but it does look pretty easy sometimes 130 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: to those two. All right, what else may love? Just 131 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: a second question? Did you talked to her? Who brings 132 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: the ball up? Or does it not? It doesn't, It doesn't. 133 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: It's not even really a valid question. It doesn't matter it. 134 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: Did Golden State have a point guard Draymond or Curry? No, Actually, 135 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: like Quinn Cook was a point guard and he was 136 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: on the bench. Katie brings it up all the time. 137 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: He has no problem doing that. But he has a 138 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: great handle, even for a guy at seven feet. If 139 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: you're guarding him, you know he's gonna have a better 140 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: handle than you think, and he's gonna be able to 141 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: beat you off the dribble if he has to. But 142 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't think any of that matters. It used to 143 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: where you go. We gotta have our point guard and 144 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: have our two guard, and got to have a small forward. 145 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: None of that matters anymore. Just get the ball into 146 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: the front court and do your damage. After that? What 147 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: else do you okay? This? As I mentioned a dark 148 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 1: to meticpol from Paul, would you bet your life that 149 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes plays this weekend? But I want to spice 150 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: it up a little. You have your life on one 151 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: side and that new one point five billion dollars lottery 152 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: that's out there right now. So do you got to 153 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: have something like bet your life or one point five 154 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: billion dollars that Mahomes plays this weekend that Sunday, Well, 155 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: he's gonna play because it's not a concussion and I 156 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: think when we hear cion then we get a little 157 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: more nervous here. Plus, I don't know if it's an 158 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: independent doctor who was examining him on Sunday, who's examining 159 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: now during the week is what I would be curious about. 160 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: Is it the team doctor and we found out that 161 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, this is a tweaked nerve in his neck 162 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: and maybe it got compressed now this according to a 163 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: local reports CBS Sports Radio in Kansas City, that Mahomes 164 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: easily passed the concussion test because he never had one 165 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: in the first place. And I've watched the video quite 166 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: a few times and you could see that his neck 167 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,719 Speaker 1: is in an awkward position. But he gets hit in 168 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: the back of the shoulder, and then the defender, mac Wilson, 169 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: goes up and sort of grabs him from behind, twist 170 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: him a little bit. But Mahomes's helmet does not hit 171 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,239 Speaker 1: the turf. It hits mac Wilson's arm. But his reaction 172 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: looked like somebody who was out on their feet. That 173 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: looked like a bad concussion. But I'm going to take 174 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: the port for what it is that he probably just 175 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: has a pinched nerve. And how that would affect you 176 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: like that, I have no idea, but I'm going to 177 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: guess Patrick Mahomes will be playing in this game two 178 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen regular season games as Oklahoma City teammates, 179 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 1: to be exact with James Harden and Kevin Durant. So 180 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: let's not make this out to man. These guys are 181 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: just getting to know each other. They know each other, 182 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: they played together. Kyrie is going to be the odd 183 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: man in or the odd man out. Is really going 184 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: to be the key? What else do you have? McLevin? Okay, 185 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: you know we were another preshow discussion that is so 186 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 1: controversial and premature that I just absolutely love it for clicks. Oh, 187 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: by the way, the Nets win last night. That's four 188 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: in a row. But the Warriors beat the Lakers in 189 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: a collapse by the Lakers and that one was one 190 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: of those what because I think the Lakers were up 191 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: by fourteen and Warriors beat him one fifteen to thirteen. 192 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, so this is very premature and we 193 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 1: I should wait till later in the offseason, But who 194 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: would you feel most comfortable paying Baker Mayfield or Lamar Jackson? 195 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 1: And we could ask Joe Thomas coming up, because I 196 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: think they're both eligible to start negotiating even though the 197 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 1: teams don't have to pay them at all. They have 198 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: him for five years if they want them, and they're 199 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: three years in. Yeah, I don't understand why you have 200 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: to expedite this, but you know, maybe they're salary cap 201 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: issues here, but you do it for mahomes. But that's different. 202 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: They're both going to get extended. And I was told that, 203 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,320 Speaker 1: you know, Baker was really paying playing for that next 204 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: contract this year, and you saw that he played well. 205 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: And I think the Browns are all in to extend 206 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: to his contract there and then Lamar Jackson. I'm assuming 207 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to be all in on Lamar 208 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 1: Jackson as well. Yeah, mclau, do you wait a year 209 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: just to see durability? I think it's the only question 210 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 1: for it. You know, neither of these guys is huge. 211 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: Although you would have thought Wentz and Golf would be durable. 212 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: It's weird that I would want to wait another year 213 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 1: because you would think with Lamar Jackson, MVP played well 214 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 1: at the end of the season, hasn't played great in 215 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: the postseason. But I want to see I'd like to 216 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: see one more year with that, and you know, after that, 217 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: then you extend him if you want to. Baker Mayfield, 218 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: this was one year he had a bad year. The 219 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: previous year a very good year's rookie year. I'd like 220 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: to see one more year with this offense with Kevin Stefanski, 221 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: just to make sure because I'm putting up over one 222 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Here, asked the Eagles. Did they jump 223 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 1: to the conclusions? Here? Asked the Rams. With Jared Golf, 224 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 1: not everybody needs to be paid. They don't the next 225 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: guy up, You're gonna get thirty eight million dollars. No, 226 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,679 Speaker 1: you shouldn't. To me, it's bad business. But Baker Mayfield 227 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 1: and Mark Jackson are probably going to get extended. Yeah, 228 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: don't forget Jimmy Garoppolo. Yeah, there was another one, but 229 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: his was different because I think you had to pay 230 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: him and we didn't know that much about him. It 231 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: was all he does is win, and I went, I know, 232 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: but he didn't look good. Yeah, but they win, okay, 233 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: and then you pay him. I mean, he might be 234 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 1: a bargain now, like twenty seven million dollars something like that, 235 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: which sounds crazy. And they're not even sold on him. 236 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: The Rams aren't sold on Jared Goff, Eagles aren't sold 237 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: on Carson Wentz. It's this rush to what extend you. Now, 238 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: the Cowboys should have done it. I know Dak got 239 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: injured obviously, but I think they could have gotten a bargain. 240 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: I said it over eighteen months ago. Do it now. 241 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 1: It hurts now, it doesn't hurt as much in a 242 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 1: couple of years, and here we are. Dak Prescott has 243 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: all the leverage. Jerry Jones even acknowledged that he could 244 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: have cost you forty million dollars. A year. You could 245 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: have gotten him for probably in the low thirties eighteen 246 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 1: months ago. And if you look at the course, so 247 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: the contract, you're saving thirty million dollars like, I don't know, 248 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: just doesn't Jerry Jones billionaire, and I'm sure he has, 249 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of people on his staff who 250 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: are helping him make that call. But I just didn't 251 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: understand it. But Baker, I'd like to see one more year. 252 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 1: Maybe I'm not being fair to him, but I'd like 253 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: to see one more year. And Lamar I probably would. 254 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: But I'm more apprehensive about giving all this money to 255 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: these guys because it feels like the next guy up 256 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: has to make more than the previous guy. And that's 257 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: not the case because Jimmy Garoppolo or Jared Goff for 258 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz, they aren't better than these other quarterbacks who 259 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: make considerable, considerably less than they do. Yeah, point, I 260 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: think you can find a lot of stories from August 261 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: at Baker Mayfield. The Browns may not pick up his 262 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: fifth year option if he doesn't play well this year. 263 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: If you're a guy like Mayfield right now, things are great, 264 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: you played well and your team played well, do you 265 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: sign a friendlier contrac tract now, or wait another year 266 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: and see how it plays out, because if you take 267 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: a dip next year, you could be in Trabiskyville. Because 268 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: right now, Baker Mayfields do ten and a half million 269 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: next year. He could sign a friendly contract and make 270 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: thirty three million next year, or wait, what is the rush? 271 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: I guess I'm saying if I'm Baker, I'm Baker in 272 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: his agent like, I would like to get this done 273 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: faster and maybe friendlier, because Mahomes contract is actually somewhat 274 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: team friendly. I think Mahomes is going to turn out 275 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 1: to be a bargain. And that's strange to say for 276 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: a team that's spending a half billion dollars, But I 277 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 1: do think he'll turn out to be a bargain. But 278 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: if I don't know Baker Mayfield, you know, I don't 279 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: know the infrastructure of the people who work with him, 280 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: and you know how many of these deals they've done 281 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 1: where you know other quarterbacks? Do they does his agent 282 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: represent other quarterbacks? I don't know? But do they get 283 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: into that next contract? Everybody wants to get into that 284 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: second contract as soon as possible, But I don't know 285 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: if Baker Mayfield could actually or his representatives could say 286 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: to the Browns, we want forty million dollars a year. 287 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: If that were the case, I'd say, let's see a 288 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: play another year. Hey you do I see a play 289 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: one more year? Is heyah, you do? You want to 290 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: bet on yourself? Fine, because if you think you found 291 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: your franchise quarterback, then finally, like the Texans paid to 292 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson and they found their friend, well, they thought 293 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: they found their franchise quarterback. Maybe that's gonna change here soon, 294 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: but they saw enough where they said, yes, he's worth this, 295 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: and he is. But I don't know about Baker Mayfield. 296 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: And I'm I'm a little skeptical of Lamar Jackson only 297 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: because a source told me, hey, not everybody is all 298 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: in on Lamar being a great, you know, that franchise quarterback. 299 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: And he said, part of the problem is if it 300 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: was just him and not there was no Patrick Mahomes 301 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL, then we might look at it differently. 302 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: It's just the expectation level is so high for these 303 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: younger quarterbacks. And my source he even said, we're probably 304 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: not being fair to Lamar. It just feels like there's 305 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: people who aren't all in on this, the same guy 306 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: who told me not everybody's in on two a tongue 307 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: of ioloa in Miami. And you see those reports that 308 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: have surfaced now that some including teammates, haven't been all in. Yeah, 309 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: mahomes contract is really fascinating because it's team friendly now 310 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: and then it's Patrick Mahomes friendly later. Right, this year, 311 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: Mahomes is only going to make five and a half 312 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: million dollars total. There's no big bonus, there's no big 313 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: roster bonus. But next year he's going to make twenty three, 314 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: and then thirty and then forty and then forty three 315 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 1: and then at age thirty two, I have him making 316 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: sixty million dollars for one year of football in twenty 317 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: twenty seven. Yeah, but they probably will redo that deal 318 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: by then. It's all weighted, but it ramps up like 319 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: a pyramid. I think he's going to be underpaid here 320 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: for the next three or four year, three years which 321 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: allows them to keep Hill and Kelsey. Yes, And that's 322 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: the important part of this is how much do you 323 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: make and what's left over to keep players? And I 324 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: go back to a rift between Peyton Manning and myself 325 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 1: that lasted for probably four or five years, and I 326 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: think it ended when I was with Direct TV and 327 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: then they hired Peyton Manning to do commercials for Direct TV, 328 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: and suddenly we were okay. But he got upset with 329 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: me because I said, did you think about taking less 330 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: so you could keep Edgar and James? And I think 331 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: I might have said, Reggie Wayne, but you know, if 332 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: you take too much then you you're going to lose 333 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: some of these skill position players. And Peyton and I well, 334 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: Peyton didn't talk to me for a few years there 335 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 1: after that, and we eventually we moved past it. I 336 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: think I proved my point there. We'll take a break. 337 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas will join us. Coming up. Does he think 338 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: the Browns will Does he think the Browns should extend 339 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's contract? Get his thoughts on just how good 340 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are because he was there in Kansas City 341 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: to watch that game with Cleveland in Kansas City. Josh 342 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: Norman the Bills defensive backstops by see Webb. He will 343 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: join us as well as we talk about is Kyrie 344 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: going to be a plus or a minus for this 345 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: Nets offense? There? So we got a few things talk about. 346 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: I got some information on what happened at Tennessee. Jeremy 347 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: Pruitt got fired. Nobody in this room was surprised that 348 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: they were headed that way, but I got some information 349 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: on just how blatant they were with their recruiting violations. 350 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: It's pretty interesting and it has to do with a 351 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: fast food chain. Here's your tease. I'm not it's coming 352 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: up on twenty after the hour. Phone calls are welcome 353 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: back after this and the Dan Patrick show. I just 354 00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: showed you that I had built bar. We got a 355 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: shipment in. Like, that's not a shipment, that's just a 356 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: box Seaton, I said, a shipment of built bar. Maybe 357 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: there was a shipment and that's all that was left. No, 358 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: it's no, it was just a small box that came in. 359 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: And because I like to share with everybody, I'd like 360 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: to share in the wealth of this. But the built 361 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: bars are great and you can once you taste them, 362 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: and then you'll understand why I have a hard time 363 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: keeping them in stock. Soft, easy to chew, they taste great. 364 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 1: Their protein bars taste like candy bars, but you'll love them. 365 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: There's eighteen flavors, low calorie, low sugar, high protein, high fiber, 366 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,920 Speaker 1: IF you're looking to lose weight. You don't want something 367 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: it tastes like cardboard or sawdust, and we've had those snacks. 368 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: It tastes.

And I think it was probably 388 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: March or April, and I came in and I said, 389 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: PAULI wait for Tennessee to go on probation. He goes, 390 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: I know too many headlines. They signed too many guys. 391 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: And I went, Yep, you can't make this obvious like 392 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze did at all. Miss Yea, you got to 393 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 1: mix a couple two star, three star linebackers in there 394 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 1: with the four stars and five stars. Yeah, you're getting 395 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: four and fives. You're going, wait a minute here, wait 396 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: a minute too hot. Joe Thomas, NFL Network analyst, former 397 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: Browns All prooffensive tackle and future Hall of Famer, joining 398 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 1: a show on the program. Can the lineman getcussion concussions? 399 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 1: How often do you guys get concussions? You don't get 400 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 1: the big hit from like the side of the head, 401 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: which a lot of times is where you get the concussion, 402 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: or when you get tackled in your head kind of 403 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: slams against the turf. So I think, for the most part, 404 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: offensive defensive linemen are less concussed overall than other other positions. 405 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: But I think what we get is those subconcussive blows, 406 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: which are actually the ones that are more detrimental long terms. 407 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: So when we were working with the NFLPA and talking 408 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: about like how do we reduce the amount of long 409 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 1: term brain injury that NFL players get, the number one 410 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: thing that our doctors highlighted was those practice subconcussive hits 411 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: that linemen are constantly banging into each other twenty thirty 412 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: forty times every single day, And so I think removing 413 00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: those is really the biggest thing. But as far as 414 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 1: like big concussions, you don't see that as much as 415 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: offensive and defensive lineman. Do you know the protocol that 416 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: you have an independent doctor who would have looked at 417 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and determine whether he had a concussion or not. 418 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: Who looks at Patrick Mahomes during the week? Is that 419 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: the independent doctor or is it there an independent doctor 420 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 1: who comes into the facility and he is the one 421 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: that is supposed to clear the player. Now, it's in Cleveland. 422 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: When I was there, it was the same guy from 423 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland that always came in, but he was separate from 424 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 1: the team. So there was some at least appearance of 425 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 1: independence when it comes to clearing the player as far 426 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 1: as it wasn't directly a team paid doctor. What did 427 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,920 Speaker 1: you take away from the Browns in Chiefs that game 428 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: that if you had questions about, let's start with the Chiefs, Like, 429 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: what's the one question or biggest question you have, assuming 430 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: Mahomes who's going to play this weekend? Well, I think defensively, 431 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: how are they going to be able to limit Josh Allen? 432 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: Because I think Josh Allen has been playing really good. 433 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: He's playing his best football right now in the playoffs, 434 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: and the Chiefs defense has been okay, And I think 435 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,400 Speaker 1: the big question mark for that defense is how good 436 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: can they be in the red zone because the Bills 437 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: are going to get into the red zone a lot, 438 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: and if they're converting a lot of those red zone 439 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: trips into touchdowns instead of field goals. I know that 440 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: the Chief's offense is fantastic, but they have a history 441 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: of keeping games close and a lot of times those 442 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 1: sevens and threes in the red zone is the difference 443 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 1: when the game is all said and done. But explain 444 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,719 Speaker 1: that to me of how Kansas City keeps allowing teams 445 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: to stay in games. They win these games, But you know, 446 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: this is less than a touchdown difference in what their 447 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 1: last eight wins. Yeah, I think it just comes down 448 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: to the nature of their offense, right. They're a real 449 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 1: high flying offense, which means they can score really quickly. 450 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: But it also means that teams are going to try 451 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: to limit the number of possessions going back and forth 452 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: because they don't want Patrick Mahomes to have the ball 453 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 1: a ton, so they're going to play that kind of 454 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 1: small all. They're going to squeeze the football, try to 455 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,879 Speaker 1: limit the number of possessions back and forth, and that 456 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: a lot of times has a way of keeping games close, 457 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,639 Speaker 1: especially on offense when you're a team like the Chiefs, 458 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 1: that you can be on the field and have a 459 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: three and out in fifteen or twenty seconds because you 460 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: just throw, throw, throw, throw, throw. Also, you know you 461 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: were there to be able to watch Patrick Mahomes. It 462 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 1: looked like he was out on his feet. I don't 463 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,440 Speaker 1: know that injury if it's a compressed nerve or neck injury, like, 464 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: how long does that linger and could it linger longer 465 00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: than a concussion would Well, obviously you have a lot 466 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: of concerns when you're talking about nerves because you can 467 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: go the entire spectrum from like something that lasts with 468 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: you several years or something that's immediately better as soon 469 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: as you get to the sideline. And I think once 470 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: we heard that it was maybe some type of a 471 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,399 Speaker 1: compressed neck nerve issue, had made sense why he was 472 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: having a hard time getting that foot under himself, because 473 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: I was actually at the game, and so the play 474 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: kind of happened nearly in front of me, and as 475 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: soon as it happened, it looked like he had kind 476 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: of been knocked out like a boxer, where he was 477 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: having hard time getting to his feet. But then it 478 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: kind of made a little bit more sense because when 479 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: you get some nerve issue in your leg, a lot 480 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: of times it gives you what they called drop foot. 481 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, I've had some back injuries, some lumbar spine issues, 482 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: and that if you get that numbness in your leg, 483 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: you can kind of get that drop foot, which makes 484 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 1: it almost look like you're having a hard time climbing 485 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: to your feet because it's a neurological thing. So you know, 486 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: hopefully for NFL fans, for Chiefs fans, this is a 487 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: nerve thing that just takes care of itself, really quickly, 488 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 1: and it wasn't actually a big type concussion that's going 489 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: to knock him out for any length of time. He's 490 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: Joe Thomas, he worked for the NFL Network. He used 491 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,919 Speaker 1: to be the Cleveland Browns All prooffensive tackle. Should the 492 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: Browns extend Baker Mayfield this offseason, I think they should 493 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: try for sure. Baker definitely proved himself that he can 494 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: be and he should be the franchise quarterback for a 495 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: long time in Cleveland. I think there's a lot of 496 00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: questions at the beginning of the season. His performance was 497 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: up and down. It was streaky, it was a little 498 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 1: bit of like what we saw in year two from Baker. 499 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: But the way he played down the stretch, the way 500 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,119 Speaker 1: he was able to make great decisions, the way he 501 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: really embraced the offense that Kevin Stefanski runs, which requires 502 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 1: a lot of on the move, bootlegs, rollout type throws 503 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 1: that Baker Mayfield has been extremely accurate with. And I 504 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: think he also showed that he is the type of 505 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: guy that can be the leader of men. He can 506 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: be the leader of this franchise in the face of 507 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: the franchise for a long time. So you know, the 508 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: dollars and cents sometimes are a little bit tough to 509 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: agree to when you're talking quarterback money, because certainly Baker's 510 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: agent is going to ask for more than Patrick Mahomes got, 511 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: because that's just the nature of the business, right When 512 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: you're a young franchise all potential player, especially at the 513 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: quarterback position, you're always going to try to reset the market. 514 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 1: But there's going to be a lot of challenging issues 515 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: with this contract because obviously he hasn't had the success 516 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes has had, and we're talking about a 517 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: salary cap situation where the salary cap is going to 518 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: shrink this offseason versus tradition it's going up two three 519 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: four percent every offseason, So it's easier to ask for 520 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: more money than the last guy because of inflation. Yeah, 521 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: but Joe, I got to see another year. You know, 522 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: I fell in love with Baker rookie year, then he 523 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: fell off. Second year. Stefanski did a wonderful job. I 524 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: think they found their identity of who they are. I 525 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 1: gotta see, you know, he's he's a good quarterback, but 526 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: make make make it all pro. I don't know, I 527 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta wait a little bit, there's no way 528 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: I want to extend him this off seat unless I 529 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: get a team friendly deal. Then I would look at it. 530 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: But I look at these teams like the Rams, if 531 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: you gave them a du over, the Niners, gave them 532 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 1: a du over, the Eagles, if I gave them a 533 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: du over. I can't rush into this here. Yeah. The 534 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: problem though, when you're talking about the quarterback, the most 535 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: important position in sports, it's not exactly easy to say 536 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: and play hardball with somebody and say we you know, 537 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 1: we'll let you walk and we'll go find somebody else, 538 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,719 Speaker 1: because there's not a lot of somebody else's hiding behind rocks. 539 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: And so I think the important thing is you engage him, 540 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: you try to get a deal done. Like you said, 541 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: team friendly. You know that's still going to be an 542 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: enormous amount of money. And you know, I think Baker 543 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 1: is the type of competitor that he wants to win. 544 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: And so maybe he's okay not resetting the quarterback market, 545 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 1: but just getting something towards the top. But why does 546 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: everybody have to get more? Joe? I don't under nobody 547 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 1: should make more than Patrick Mahomes in the NFL. No 548 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 1: one forever like, at some point, somebody's going to make 549 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,200 Speaker 1: more money than Patrick. Who is going to be more 550 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 1: valuable than Patrick. That person's probably in high school right now. 551 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 1: But nobody should be making more than Patrick Mahomes makes 552 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: during this contract. Well, the Patrick Mahomes signed a ten 553 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: year contract, so at some point that contract is going 554 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: to look like he was probably underpaid. And it's probably 555 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: not too far down the line because if he continues 556 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: to play at an MVP level, taking his teams to 557 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: Super Bowls, well, he's going to be under paid. Joe, 558 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: that contract is We're gonna go, man, they only have 559 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 1: to pay him fifty million dollars, but he's going to 560 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 1: be underpaid. But there's only one Mahomes there, Like, you know, 561 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is not Patrick Mahomes. So I think the 562 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: agent's always going to ask for the Patrick Mahomes plus 563 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: a little bit. Oh yeah, hell yeah. And then here's 564 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: the thing though, Like as a quarterback, you have the 565 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: leverage because, like I said, there's less than thirty two 566 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks that can lead a team to the playoffs 567 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: and that can preserve the jobs of the coach and 568 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: the general manager. And so those guys are always going 569 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: to be so worried that, hey, if we don't get 570 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: this player under contract, he's going to leave, and then 571 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: we're going to be left holding the bag and we're 572 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: gonna get fired in two years. And that's the nature 573 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 1: of being a general manager and a head coach in 574 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 1: this business is that if you don't have a quarterback, 575 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: you only have a couple of years and you're going 576 00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: to get fired because the quarterback is so important to 577 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: wins and losses in the NFL. Without it, you have 578 00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: no chance. Yeah, I gotta wait, I do. I'd rather 579 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: run the risk because I'm just not sure. As much 580 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: as I love what they've done. Like as Odell Beckham 581 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: going to be on the team next year, what role 582 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: does that play in Baker's development? You got two running backs? 583 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: Are you're keeping two running backs? You've got a really 584 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: good offensive line. I think the building blocks are there. 585 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: I just you know, I would say to Baker, we 586 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: let's go in with both. You know, looking at this 587 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: as a bigger picture here, but we want to make 588 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: sure that you know this is going to work out. 589 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: I think these are good problems though. Like, if you're 590 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: a Cleveland Bounce fans, you're talking about we've got all 591 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: these good young players that we want to sign. You're 592 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 1: going this is an okay situation being because you haven't 593 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: been here, But I think the risk if you wait 594 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 1: too long you kind of see what happened in Dallas 595 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: with that. But let's say Baker continues to improve at 596 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: the trajector that he's headed at, he may expect Patrick 597 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 1: Mahomes and money, because if he goes and delivers the 598 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 1: team to the playoffs next year and becomes let's say, 599 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: maybe not a first team All Pro, but he's a 600 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,400 Speaker 1: pro bowler or maybe a second team All Pro, then 601 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 1: he deserves a Patrick Mahomes contract. Because we're gonna be 602 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 1: a few years removed, we're gonna assume the salary CAP's 603 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: gonna bounce back up, and then as a team, you 604 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: might be a lot more handcuffed. If you sign him 605 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: right now, you might have the ability to structure the 606 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 1: contract to be able to get all those other guys 607 00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: you've mentioned also under contract. The sooner you do those deals, 608 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,479 Speaker 1: history shows us, the better and the more likely it 609 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 1: is to be able to get the rest of the 610 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: good players that made your team what it was under contract. 611 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 1: I think we're on the same page. I'm just a 612 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,720 Speaker 1: little more nervous here about jumping into Yeah, I'm I'm 613 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: not saying that I feel as good as if I 614 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: would have signed Patrick Mahomes do a long term deal. 615 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: But that's the nature of the business. There's risk and 616 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: reward with every contract, especially at the quarterback position. Have 617 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: you ever gone to the line of scrimmage as the 618 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers offensive line does quite often, knowing that 619 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: the guy behind you like he like, no, I've never 620 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,560 Speaker 1: had Aaron Rodgers, I know, but but but but the feeling, 621 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: that feeling of my gun. I got so much confidence 622 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: in these Did you see the uh the picture of 623 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: Aaron where he goes to line of scrimmage and he 624 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: looks at the defense and all of a sudden he's 625 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: smiled and this is the lizard touchdown. He knows, he 626 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: knows what's gonna happen. He's smiling at the defense to say, really, 627 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: that's what you're going to do. I have remember blocked 628 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: for somebody like you know that had that kind of okay, 629 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: I'll stop you read say no. But it reminds me 630 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: of a Friday practice, and Friday practices in the NFL 631 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,680 Speaker 1: they would call fast Friday, right, because every play is 632 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,200 Speaker 1: scripted for success. So your quarterbacks should complete twenty nine 633 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: out of thirty passes on a Friday practice. And every 634 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: time he goes up there, he knows exactly the look 635 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: the defense is giving him, and he knows where the 636 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: ball's gonna go, and he knows it's going to be 637 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 1: a touchdown. That is life as Aaron Rodgers. Who's your 638 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: pick in the AFC Title Game? I like the Bills. 639 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: Actually I'm nervous because I don't know, ay if Patrick 640 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes is going to be there, And then if he 641 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 1: is going to be there, there's been some mention about 642 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,840 Speaker 1: a toe injury, the nerve issue, there's a lot of 643 00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 1: question marks. Even if he is able to be there, 644 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: how mobile is he going to be? And as everybody knows, 645 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: like his ability to escape pressure is a big part 646 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: of why he is the most talented quarterback of this 647 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: generation because you can't blitz him because he just escapes 648 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: pressure and then he throws the ball sixty yards down 649 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: the field to Tyree Hill or fifty yards down the 650 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: field to Travis Kelsey. So with those that mobility, it 651 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: makes him almost impossible to defend. And if he doesn't 652 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: have that. I think it kind of shifts the balance 653 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: in the favor of the Bills, who are playing great 654 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: football and are playing great defense right now. What about 655 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: the NFC title game? Hard to pick against Aaron Rodgers. 656 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, well, usually it's hard to pick 657 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: against Tom Brady, I know, but it's really hard to 658 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 1: pick against Aaron Rodgers right now, who's playing the best 659 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: football of his career. He just seems to absolutely love 660 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 1: the offense that Matt Lafleur is installed for him. And 661 00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: I know since the bye week with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 662 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: Spruce Arians and Tom Brady have been on the same page. 663 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're homing along right now. But I 664 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: think that ends in Green Bay this weekend because Aaron Rodgers, 665 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,239 Speaker 1: in that offense, like he said, he's gonna be at 666 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: the line of scrim is just chuckling to himself when 667 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 1: he sees Tampa's defense. Oh my good. Although I like 668 00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: that Tampa defense. And one more idea, you know, players 669 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: have to prepare to retire, and when you start thinking 670 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 1: about retiring, then you should retires, as a former player 671 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: once said to me. But I don't know what Drew 672 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: Brees is thinking because you go out like that where 673 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: you play terribly, but if you win, you don't want 674 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 1: to go out either, Joe. So it's sort of that 675 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 1: chaffee poll of you know, like what what do you 676 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: think will lead Drew Brees into that decision. As a competitor, 677 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: you always are convincing yourself that you're a going to 678 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: win and be you've got more in you. I mean, 679 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,879 Speaker 1: if you would have asked Jerry Rice last weekend, hey, 680 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 1: are you ready to strap it up and go play 681 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: it in the games this weekend, he'd be like, oh, 682 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 1: I'm ready, I can do it right, Because you convince 683 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: yourself in your brain every single time you go to 684 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,399 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage that you're better than the guy 685 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: you're going against. And for Drew, like, like you mentioned, 686 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: you'd hate to go out with that as your last performance. 687 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 1: Brady's last pass in New England was an interception, and 688 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: you hate to go out that way. But also when 689 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: you win, you say I got more left in me. 690 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: So there's really no time as a competitor that it's 691 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 1: easy to say, yes, this is the right time. I mean, yeah, 692 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,600 Speaker 1: but you were thirty three when you retired, right I was, 693 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: and it was an injury thing. I knew that I 694 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 1: couldn't do it anymore because the injuries were piling up 695 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 1: so significantly. As a quarterback, you feel like, Ah, even 696 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: though I don't have as much arm, I can just 697 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: anticipate things better and my brain has overcome things, and 698 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 1: so you always feel like you can still make those passes. 699 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 1: Where's a lineman? You know, when I'm getting steamroll and 700 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: I'm laying on my back and then I'm getting my 701 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 1: knee injected every single week. It's a lot easier to 702 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:36,960 Speaker 1: step away from that than it is as a quarterback, 703 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: just because you don't get those beatings during the week, 704 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: and you always feel like in your head that there's 705 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: some type of mental game that can help you overcome 706 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: any limitations that your arm is facing. Great stuff, Joe, 707 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:49,759 Speaker 1: always great to catch up with you. We appreciate your 708 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: time as always. Thank you. Yeah, thanks for having me 709 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,280 Speaker 1: on Dan. That's Joe Thomas, the NFL Network analyst, former 710 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: Brown's All Pro offenship tackle. Wasn't Joe hunting On the 711 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: day of the draft, and I remember talking to his 712 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,040 Speaker 1: agent and I said, Hey, we're looking for Joe's He 713 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: like that Monday because he went hunting. Maybe his agent 714 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: was looking for him as well. I remember I think 715 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 1: we tracked down Joe Thomas. He was hunting and he 716 00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: had been drafted by the Cleveland Browns. He was just 717 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: one of those where's Joe and Alway's hunting? He chose 718 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,800 Speaker 1: to do that instead of going to the NFL draft. 719 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 1: We'll take a break once again. I got some information 720 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,759 Speaker 1: on Tennessee volunteers and a surprise I think, a surprise candidate. 721 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 1: I think you'll be surprised. Nothing official, but I just 722 00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: I had a source who said, here's a name to 723 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: mention as a m what if? Yeah, point, are we 724 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:47,400 Speaker 1: playing the who are the Tennessee vall is going to 725 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 1: hire a game? We haven't done that in a couple 726 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,319 Speaker 1: of years. We had the music credit. Hopefully we're not 727 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: doing it in a couple more years after this too. No, 728 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: I don't. Don't you know there's some interesting information about 729 00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,840 Speaker 1: the volunteers and their recruit and how it led to 730 00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,520 Speaker 1: this and who they might eat, who they might hire, 731 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,319 Speaker 1: because there's a Hall of Fame quarterback involved in this 732 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: process as well. So we'll take a break back after 733 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 1: this Play of the day, Dan Patrick Show.

I 756 00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: was watching Lakers Warriors last night, and it's pretty clear 757 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,960 Speaker 1: what the Lakers plan was. They were just gonna throw 758 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: people at Steph Curry. There's points where there is two 759 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:39,480 Speaker 1: or three dudes around him and he's trying to like 760 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,040 Speaker 1: duck and dip his shoulders between six to eleven dudes. 761 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,160 Speaker 1: It was pretty fascinating to watch. I know, on paper 762 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 1: he didn't have a great game, but it was the 763 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: defense was all over him. All right. Here's some information 764 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: I have on Tennessee volunteers with Jeremy Pruitt got fired 765 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: and Phil Fumer, the athletic director, I said they were 766 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: going to go after him as well. From my source, 767 00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 1: he decided to retire. And whoever goes in as got 768 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 1: some hurdles, probably with the NC double A that they're 769 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,719 Speaker 1: going to have to navigate. The people who are going 770 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,560 Speaker 1: to make this pick, this choice for the next head coach, 771 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: the Haslum Brothers. Peyton Manning is going to be involved 772 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,400 Speaker 1: in it, reportedly going to be involved in it. And 773 00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: I was told that, you know, there's a few things 774 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,960 Speaker 1: that are going on here and I asked my source, 775 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: I said, how did they get these assistant coaches on 776 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:34,240 Speaker 1: recruiting violations? And he said, well, they put money into 777 00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: McDonald's bags and gave them to the recruits when they 778 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,600 Speaker 1: came on campus. Some of the you know, the campus 779 00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: visits were not organized or they were not above board, 780 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 1: but they were handing out cash. I don't know if 781 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,920 Speaker 1: it was soon the drive through, you literally had bagmen 782 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,040 Speaker 1: and they were they put the cash in McDonald's bags 783 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 1: and handed it to the recruits. My source said they 784 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: were so in your face with this, they weren't even 785 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: trying to hide it. And that's where my source said 786 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 1: Tennessee got sloppy. Georgia has gotten sloppy, but there's been 787 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: no word on the NCAA looking at Georgia. But Tennessee 788 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: they got sloppy and they were handing out cash in 789 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:26,839 Speaker 1: McDonald's bags. I haven't been to McDonald's in a long 790 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 1: long time, but I used to get those little figurines. 791 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:36,319 Speaker 1: Definitely that case. Here's another possibility here, like they're looking 792 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: at names here, who's going to take over the program, 793 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: who's going to go in there? And I was told 794 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:45,280 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze is not getting the jump. I was told 795 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,920 Speaker 1: Hugh Freeze might this might be more of the SEC 796 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,359 Speaker 1: saying I gotta get it correct here. The SEC might 797 00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 1: be blocking the possibility of Hugh Freeze covering coaching Tennessee. 798 00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,760 Speaker 1: So you would be discouraging Tennessee from hiring Hugh Freeze. 799 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,319 Speaker 1: He's already been in this before with Old Miss but 800 00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: he was at Liberty and he's done a good job 801 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,279 Speaker 1: at Liberty. But I was told that Hugh Freeze was 802 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 1: probably not going to be on the shortlist. There here 803 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: was a name that was brought to my attention by 804 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: somebody else. How about Jason Witten? Just a what if 805 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 1: Jason Witten as the next head coach? Throw that out there. 806 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 1: Whether it's sticks or not, no idea, but that's the 807 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:40,439 Speaker 1: information that I have with the Tennessee volunteers. Man, very 808 00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: very happy meal. Yeah, so I'm loving it. That'd be 809 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 1: you know, you could do a get Tennessee football players. 810 00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: I'm loving it. Got their bankful of money there, it 811 00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: does break today. Okay, I like that, Todd, Yes, Paul. 812 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: Two part question, if you were the president and this 813 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,760 Speaker 1: whoever is running athletics at Tennessee, would you offer Peyton 814 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:03,920 Speaker 1: Manning whatever he wants to be the new athletics director 815 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:10,719 Speaker 1: and oversee football operations both not coach, but Manning has 816 00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to do. I would do it. 817 00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: But if I'm Peyton, you would not consider. No, that's 818 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,720 Speaker 1: my second part.
