5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Look fun last night and they went through the motions

13
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: dollars if your team wins. Some of the headlines. The

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: Yankees advanced. Now they move on to face the Astros.

15
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: Who do you like if you don't have a team

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: in the playoffs? Could you root? Is it? Who do

17
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: you dislike less? With the Yankees and the Astros? That

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: was the poll question for our two seaton. The results

19
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: The results shockingly, Dan still who is more likable in

20
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: this series? It's now up to sixty five percent. The

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 1: Yankees are more likable than the Astro. It's an unbelievable turnaround. Okay,

22
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: all right, yeah, Paul. The Yankees historically about spent you,

23
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: but they didn't cheat you. And that's a there's a

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: big difference out spending you. It's pretty traditional. You get

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: out spent in all walks of life. But to be

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: cheated as a people think they have the astro, that's different. Yeah,

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: Phillies beat the Padres. Take the opener of the NLCS.

28
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: Seventy six ers lost to the Celtics. Meanwhile, the Warriors

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: handled the Lakers. Anthony Slater covers the Warriors and the

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: NBA for the Athletic He was there last night. Set

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the scene there, Anthony. It was all fun in games, everybody,

32
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: okay with on the same page with the Warriors, sure,

33
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, I mean it's like the celebratory night where

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: they celebrate last season. I would say there's still some

35
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: awkwardness among Draymond Green and his teammates. Uh. And even

36
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: you know in the press conference, there remains a little

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: bit of iciness I think on Jordan Pool's side. But

38
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, the veterans have defended Jordan Pool so forcefully. Uh.

39
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: And then you know they keep winning and and and

40
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: you can win within that. I think Draymond's had some comments.

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: TNT has a documentary on him, and it's almost like

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: he embraced this. It's not like he is remorseful whatsoever.

43
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: Is that your read on Draymond through all of this.

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, he's he at least his initial press conference

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: accepted responsibility that he was at fault. There were a

46
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: couple times within the press conference you could tell he

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,679
Speaker 1: was trying to hint at like, well, if you knew

48
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the full context, but we shouldn't even go down that road. Um.

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,799
Speaker 1: So there's a there's a level of defiance with him.

50
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: And his second press conference was not quite as contriveted

51
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: as his first one. And like you said, you know,

52
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: not only did he do the documentary last night, but

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: he's had these like three documentary like uh, you know

54
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: photographers or videographers that were around all camp, which is

55
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:12,359
Speaker 1: always an interesting thing to happen. Um. It's it's been

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 1: put by a few people like this feels like the

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: end days of a marriage where the kids aren't quite

58
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: yet off to college, but you're you're sticking together because

59
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 1: the greater goal, and the greater goal is this is

60
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: still the title favorite probably and a chance to win five.

61
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: But with everything, you know, the money situation and the

62
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: transitioning of eras within this franchise that it feels like

63
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: has created a kind of odd umbrella over everything. Yet

64
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they look as good as ever. Did those

65
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: camera guys working on the documentary catch any of the

66
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: fight with Jordan Pull and Draymond Green? Were they at

67
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the practice? I don't believe so, because we would have

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: sawn HD footage if so, right, I mean I haven't.

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: They might be holding it though, Anthony, if if if

70
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: they've got it, and Draymond seems to almost embrace Hey man,

71
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: people know who I am and social media and new

72
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: media and all of that. You know, it's not he

73
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: It's just one thing who cares. Yeah, well I didn't.

74
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: Actually I heard it was like a twenty five minute

75
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: pregame doc. Right. I actually I've seen some of the

76
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: clips of him talking. I haven't seen the whole thing

77
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: they show. I heard they showed the punch within it.

78
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: I assume they showed the TMZ version unless they had

79
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: the HD version, But I'm not sure Draymond would agree

80
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: and lit the HD version and that show. But I

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: want to know, you know, if I'm TMZ and I'm

82
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: gonna buy that video, whoever leaked it, why wouldn't I

83
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: show it all the way through the punch? And then

84
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: what happened right after that? To me is just as interesting.

85
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: Did Draymond go to help him up? Was Pool knocked out?

86
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Did Steph Curry or Clay Thompson or Steve Kurd do anything,

87
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: say anything? Practice is closed, so I have more questions

88
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: attached to it. If Draymond goes over and helps him

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: up and you know, I'm sorry, then maybe it softens

90
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: it a little bit here. But I'm curious, why cut

91
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: off the video that you paid for right after the punch? Yeah,

92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: maybe that's all they were sent, But I mean I

93
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: could tell you what I've heard. No, I mean he

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: had to be like pulled off. And as far as

95
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: Draymond went in for the kill like he was, I

96
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: don't know that he was like again, like again, this

97
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: is secondhand reporting. I haven't seen the video on it,

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think he was like throwing more punches,

99
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: but I think he was. It was still like it

100
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: was a situation where he still needed Maybe he was

101
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: just talking but had to be kind of separated and

102
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: they have a like an adjacent weight room that like

103
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: I think all the I've heard all the veterans kind

104
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: of dragged him over to and like kind of had

105
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: to calm him down within that situation. Yeah, and through

106
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: it all, And I agree with you. I loved him

107
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: last year. I love him again this year. I'm waiting

108
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: to see that youth movement. We saw it with Jordan Poole,

109
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: but you got Cominga and Moody, you got James Wise

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: to make that next step might be the key if

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: this team's gonna win another championship with this group, um

112
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: and then trying to get everybody minutes as well is

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: gonna be challenged. They're they're probably ten deep. Moody was

114
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: the eleventh guy they put in last night in the

115
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: first half, which is like, you don't do that in

116
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: NBA rotations. Typically it's like nine, like stretch it to

117
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: ten um. You know. Part of that is like Clays

118
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: on a minutes limit what um? But you know, I

119
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: mean I think Moses Moody's ready. Like if you put

120
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: Moses Moody on the Charlotte Hornets, I think he's getting

121
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: thirty minutes to night and he's like got six minutes

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: last night as the eleventh man. So I like what

123
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: I've seen from the youth, you know, comparatively to what

124
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: last I saw them. Last I saw them, James Wiseman

125
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: was not ready. He looked more ready last night. I mean,

126
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: I thought he was a very capable backup big man. Um.

127
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: I liked what Commigi did in the preseason. They're gonna

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: use him in like switchable, more athletic lineups, and this

129
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: is a team historically that really isn't that athletic. It's

130
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: more of like a skill based team. So they're kind

131
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: of like, you know, infusing something new to this team.

132
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: You saw more pick and roll with Wiseman on the

133
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: floor last night. Is typically a very anti pick and

134
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: roll team, but him and Pool kind of have a

135
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: nice mix there. So it's it's different. And as somebody

136
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: who has to cover it on a daily basis, I

137
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: just like watching like different versions of the same team.

138
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: All right, give me your assessment of the Lakers. If

139
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: I'm a Laker fan and I'm listening to your opinion

140
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: of what they can expect this season, what would that

141
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: be they of the playoff hopeful? I think they might

142
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: have the worst like three through fifteen, three through ten

143
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: roster in the league. And that's just a problem. I mean,

144
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: I think you just saw last night, like the depth

145
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: on display. Like what rotation Laker beyond Lebron and Anthony

146
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Davis would be in the Warrior's rotation. I mean, for example,

147
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: wants to Scano Anderson, who was very you know, useful

148
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: for the Warriors and they love him there, but last

149
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: year he did he was not in their playoff rotation,

150
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: like he just sat on the bench and watched the playoffs.

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: He would he might be like their fifth or sixth

152
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: best player. The Lakers currently, it's just they're not deep.

153
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: They they don't shoot, they're really small in the back court.

154
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: It's like a non twenty twenty two type team. I

155
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: do like like Davis looks good. He looked good in

156
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: the preseason. He had a twenty two point first half

157
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: against the Warriors when Draymond was away from the team,

158
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: and I you know, I think that you know, gives

159
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: them a nice one two punch. Although Lebron's thirty eight,

160
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't quite think he has that top gear that

161
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: he used to. I think you saw it last night.

162
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Steph Curry closed the door Lebron, I'm not sure that

163
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: gear is there again when he's you know, in those

164
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: Titanic clashes against the Yannesses of the world. And if

165
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: one two aren't completely dominant, and I just think they're

166
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,599
Speaker 1: you know what you'd expect three through fifteen, Like I

167
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: don't I see playing uh definitely, Like I think I

168
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: think it's a seventh through ten type team that might

169
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: even slip beyond uh Clippers. Still, it feels like everybody

170
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: loves the Clippers out list. But what am I missing

171
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 1: there with the Clippers. I know they got depth and

172
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: you got Kawai and Paul George, but then that can

173
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: also be part of the problem with Kawai and Paul George. Yeah,

174
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean because we and we do this, we do

175
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: this at every sport before the season, like you just

176
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: like health is like guaranteed in your mind right every

177
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: single player is playing all eighty two games, and like

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: we'll be there in the playoffs. And if that is

179
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: the case with the Clippers, if like their entire team

180
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: is available and Kawhi Leonard looks like he did pre

181
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: ac L injury, and we have no idea, I mean,

182
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: we never we have not seen Kawhi play. But if

183
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: that is the case, Yeah, they're theoretically built really well deep.

184
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: Their owner spends like crazy, just like the Warriors does.

185
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: They have the two top tax bills ever, and that

186
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: is how you get more depth, right, you're willing to

187
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: pay Basically the Clippers getting extra Norm Powell, just like

188
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the Warriors getting an extra Andrew Wiggins to just beef

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: up your roster. And uh, you know, and I think

190
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: about them in a West Finals match if they are healthy,

191
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: and they do you know, profile as a team that

192
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: would defend the Warriors. Well, a bunch of wings, switchable guys,

193
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: guys with playoff history against the Warriors. Kawhi in particular

194
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: may have played better than anyone historically against the Warriors

195
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. So I like them as a theoretical team.

196
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 1: But I you know, who will be available? When will

197
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: they be available? I have no idea. Anthony, good to

198
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: talk to you. Thanks for joining us. We appreciate it. Yep,

199
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Anthony Slater, he covers the Warriors

200
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: in the NBA for the Athletic Yeah, every time I

201
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: leave out the Clippers when people say, oh, who do

202
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: you like out West? And I somehow leave out the Clippers.

203
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: It's just having but the odds are there for the

204
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: Clippers to be It looks like their odds might be

205
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: better than Golden States right now to win it all,

206
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:57,559
Speaker 1: which I still find remarkable. Feels like the Bucks became

207
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: a sleeper all of a sudden, where you're like, you know,

208
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: everybody talks about the Nets, you know, the Celtics have

209
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: had drama, James Harden and the Sixers and Joe lmbad

210
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you go, what about

211
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: the Bucks? And the Bucks may like it like that, Yeah, Mark,

212
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: they might end up being like the Warriors, you know,

213
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: the Warriors, out of sight, out of mind because of

214
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: injuries and things like that, and they might come back

215
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: with a vengeance. And I think Jannis he might be

216
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 1: coming for an MVP only because people are not writing

217
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: them off, but they're not on the tip of everyone's tongues.

218
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: As far as a playoff favorite. I wonder if Jannis

219
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: can win another one now, because what would he do

220
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: where you'd go yep. I mean it's tricky when it

221
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: comes to voting. And I voted on these awards in

222
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: the NBA and and I wasn't fair looking back on

223
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: Barkley season and Carl Malone season when they won MVPs,

224
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: because I still looked at the totality of this season

225
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 1: and thought, there's nobody more valuable than Michael Jordan and

226
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: it played out that way because he beat the Sons

227
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: in the title for the title that year, and he

228
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: beat Utah for the title that year. Looking back, I

229
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: should have acknowledged what Barkley had done and Carl Malone

230
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: had done. I just thought, Okay, who's the most valuable

231
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: player and it's Michael Jordan and I couldn't get that

232
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: out of my mind, and that's how I voted Yeah

233
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: more a guy like Jannis. The Bucks would have to

234
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: have a historic season. They got to win sixty eight

235
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: sixty nine games and be completely dominant in order for

236
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: Yannis to win. I think you're right there, because now

237
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: Luca and whoever else they're coming for it, Well, Luca

238
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: is his window is there. It's just at what point

239
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: do you then move on? Because there's gonna be somebody else,

240
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: then there's gonna be a job or rant. It's almost

241
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: like you know, a shooting gallery where you get to

242
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: move along and then nobody picked me off. Okay, I

243
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: get to come back around and then all of a sudden,

244
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: you have to have a good story that's attached to

245
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: this NBA tip Off hotline presented by Drafting sports Book,

246
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: an official sports betting partner the NBA. The promo code

247
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: is Patrick, make any five dollars bet this week, get

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: two hundred dollars if your team wins. Nathan in La,

249
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: Hey Nate, what's on your mind today? Hey Dan? Good

250
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: to talk again. Yeah, so I was responding to I

251
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: thought you said earlier about you know, pitching and you

252
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: know the pitching taking dominance, and that's how you went

253
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: in the postseason. And that's still true, and you referenced

254
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: Shilling and Randy Johnson. The difference in twenty twenty two

255
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: is that neither Shilling or Johnson would have been allowed

256
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: to finish the game anymore. True. We're just we're pitch

257
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: counting people to such a degree that it's no longer

258
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: relevant almost who starts the game. And well, if you

259
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: do have that guy like I could never imagine if

260
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson or Kurt Chilling pitch now that they would

261
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: be on a pitch, they would allow for a pitch

262
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: count because there are times when I watch Shilling pitch

263
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: as he went through the lineup the second time, like

264
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: he got stronger. You would think that you throw hard

265
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of a game, and I watch Shilling,

266
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: he kind of morphed into he's throwing it harder. He

267
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: seemed like a better pitcher. Guys who get more innings,

268
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: more pitches, they just seemed to become bigger, stronger, better,

269
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: and Shilling was one of those guys. Yeah, pulling it's

270
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: really not even a consideration anymore to let a guy

271
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: go eight or nine. Zach Wheeler, he had a one

272
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: hitter going, He had eight strikeouts, one base on balls,

273
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: and he went seven innings. His last innings, his last

274
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: ending three up, three down. It was in the jam.

275
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: He wasn't having a bunch of pitches. They just said,

276
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: that's our plan and there's nothing Zach Wheeler could have

277
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: had a no here last night. They would have pulled

278
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: him after seven. Yeah, they would have. And it's sad

279
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: to see because you do like that heroic effort where

280
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: you go, he went the distance. How many times when

281
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: you're watching these, you know the old footage of somebody

282
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: wins the World Series and the starting pitcher is on

283
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: the mound, like, oh, what a novelty the starting pitcher

284
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: and Kofax, you know, is won the World Series for

285
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 1: the Dodgers and he's on the mound. Now you don't

286
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:19,359
Speaker 1: have that. And these managers, they just they out manage themselves.

287
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: There are times when you go, okay, pitchers got eighty

288
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: three pitches and we're through six innings. Yeah, I gotta

289
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: get him out of there. Wait a minute, he seems

290
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: to be doing okay. Yeah, But the analytics say, well,

291
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: the analytics, it's they're not applicable to every situation. Sometimes

292
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: when you go, hey, it's fourth and three. My quarterbacks

293
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It's fourth and three. My quarterback is Drew Locke. Okay,

294
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: the analytics might say the same thing. I feel a

295
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: whole lot more comfortable with Aaron Rodgers on fourth and

296
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: three than I do Drew Locke. Yes, time and the

297
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: calculators and the analytics, what about you know, the just

298
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: the whole atmosphere, you got the momentum going. These are

299
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: things you can't really plug into some computer and spit back. Yeah.

300
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: I always like that you know your team, there's a

301
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: gut feeling that you have. I get it. You want

302
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: to play the analytics, and I just think sometimes you

303
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: can get drunk with all of those stats where you're like, okay,

304
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: left hander, it's what's the temperature sixty eight degrees? I'd

305
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: like to put him in when it's around seventy's. You

306
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: have all this information you put into a computer and

307
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: then they give you an information, they give leave that information,

308
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: spit it out there, yes, hunt, So why bother even

309
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: having a manager? Then if you're just going to allow

310
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: the computer to make all the decisions, you get some

311
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: smart ket out of college, punches in the numbers at

312
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: some office and send down what happens, and you're playing

313
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: it like a video game or something. But that's what

314
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: they're doing. You got these IVY League guys who are

315
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: doing the analytics. It could save a lot of money,

316
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: and don't even have a manager. Then in the dubyat

317
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: what does the manager doing. It's like waiting for the

318
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: twenty year old kids to say, yeah, gotta walk this

319
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: guy welcome, Yes, And it's bearing out with World Series MVPs.

320
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: If you're a pitcher, you don't have a very good

321
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: chance to win it. In eighties, nineties and two thousands,

322
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: it was fifty fifty position player or pitcher to win

323
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: World Series MVP in the past twenty years. Three out

324
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: of the twenty MVPs have been pitchers. Three out of twenty,

325
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: can anybody name two of them? Madison Bumgarner correct? And

326
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: that was that was a pure performance where yes he

327
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 1: was dominant. He made his whole career off that, Yes

328
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: he did. There was a guy in two thousand and eight,

329
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: I'll give you a hint, very handsome WB pitcher looking, Yes,

330
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: Cole Hans has a handsome hint, Yeah, Cole handsome. And

331
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: then a couple of years ago a guy kind of

332
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: resurrected his good career which was supposed to be a

333

Speaker 1: great career. Justin Verlander, Stephen Strassburg, Steve strassb good job, Martinprus.

Speaker 1: That was a that was an interesting experience. Man. I

374
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: was I was probably every bit of just twelve years old.

375
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: It's a twelve years like eleven twelve. They you know.

376
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 1: They asked me to write like a plum. I can't. Right,

377
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: as I just wrote the rap, I wrote the verse,

378
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: and so I ran the verse about him in front

379
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: in front of cat Man. The whole church weren't crazy. Yeah,

380
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: and he just laid there chilling, like, Yeah, That's when

381
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: I knew that. You know, I knew for a fact

382
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: that right at that moment, that was one of the moments.

383
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: But now I'm looking at everybody's emotion, you know, everybody

384
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: obviously they all the emotional that crying and stuff. And

385
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: I knew sitting back down in the church, pew, I

386
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: knew for a fact it felt weird because I was like, man,

387
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: I feel so good, you know. I was like, I

388
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: feel so good. I got this reaction. Yeah, And so

389
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: that's when I knew, Yeah, you just love to perform. Man,

390
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: that was a hook that, you know what I mean.

391
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: You can hear the entire interview with Little Wayne and

392
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: marchellis Wily a More to It podcast to Dan Patrick

393
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: podcast network point, little Wayne was hired to play a funeral?

394
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: Is that what he's saying? He played a funeral? I

395
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 1: but let me ask marcellis Wily. Is that the so

396
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: they hire Little Wayne to perform at a funeral? Yeah?

397
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 1: I think the word hire is loose in this conversation,

398
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: but yeah, he performed at a funeral before. And I

399
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: think the point of his story was no matter what

400
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: the circumstances were, obviously emotional funeral. He felt the energy,

401
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: he felt uplifted despite everyone else feeling the despair and

402
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: the pain of the funeral. And he said it clicked

403
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: with him in that moment that I just like to perform.

404
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,160
Speaker 1: So whatever this life's going to turn into, performance has

405
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,120
Speaker 1: to be a part of it. Who would you hire

406
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: to perform at your funeral? Oh, Mad, Outcast? If I

407
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: had to go there, Outcast, Andre three thousand, big boy,

408
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: I wish I was allied to hear. But at the

409
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: same time it would have been amazing. That's my favorite

410
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,239
Speaker 1: group of all time. I don't see if I can

411
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: make that happen to oursellers. Oh thank you. I look

412
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: forward to We brought this up first hour. And what's

413
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: the number one storyline like good or bad? In the NFL?

414
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Let me take away, Daniel Snyder, let me take care

415
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: of just football. The number one storyline of the NFL

416
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: so far is Tom Brady. I don't think it's getting

417
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: the attention it deserves. I think we all as we

418
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: should get Tom Brady the benefit of the doubt. But

419
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: just look at what's happening right now in Tapa Bay,

420
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: And imagine if it weren't Tom Brady, that a player retires,

421
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: a tremendous player, a goat retires, comes back and then

422
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: participates in the off season, then takes eleven day hiatus,

423
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: comes back and then says, you know what, guys, I

424
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: got a lot of bleep on my plate, which tells

425
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: you his eyes aren't focused on the prize intently. Like

426
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and that's what I learned about sports, and it's something

427
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: that we all know in life. But you take your

428
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: eyes one deviation off the prize, oh you're gonna go

429
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: off the rails. And it looks like right now, this

430
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: team doesn't know this way. This team doesn't know which

431
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: way is up. And in part it's because of their leader,

432
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the goat, Tom Brady. So for me is just watching

433
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: that and waiting for the criticism to start the match

434
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: what he's been doing, because right now he's not being

435
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: the most focused leader. Todd Bowles, the head coach, says

436
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: Brady does not get preferential treatment. And he didn't laugh

437
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: when he said it. He was actually serious when he

438
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: said it. Tom goes up to the wedding during the week.

439
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: I guess he misses a walkthrough or you know if

440
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: it was, but Tom Brady be mad at Tom Brad,

441
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: if he's gonna yell at everybody but Tom Brady, yell

442
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: at Tom Brady for this moment. No, he wouldn't. And look,

443
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,919
Speaker 1: let's start in the beginning to bow stopped lying. Of course,

444
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: you give him preferential treatment. You better, that's part of

445
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: the whole system and economy of sports. You try to

446
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: be such a good player, great player, that you get

447
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: that human capital. And that human capital is, hey, if

448
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: I show up a little late, or hey, I get

449
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: as used absence where some other guy may not because

450
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: that other guy is not going to do what I

451
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: do on the field and have the same impact. So

452
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: we're already starting off from a lie. My grandma always

453
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: told me, you can't make sense out of nonsense, and

454
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: Tom bows is talking nonsense because Brady obviously is getting

455
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: preferential treatment, going to weddings eleven days off in training camp,

456
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: and that's not preferential treatment without penalty, without punishment. It's okay.

457
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: But Tom Brady right now, he's having so many things

458
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: thrown his way, and it seems like more than ever

459
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: he is in response to those things. Before he seemed Teflon.

460
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: Before it seemed like Tom Brady couldn't be phased. Maybe

461
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: it was the culture of New England. Maybe it was

462
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 1: the protection of Bill Belichick and making sure that outside

463
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: noise stayed outside. But for whatever reason, and in part

464
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: is because Tom Brady has a brand. Now TB twelve

465
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: is a real thing. He's in promotion, he's on social media.

466
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: That noise is seeping in and now you're starting to

467
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: hear and see a different Tom Brady. But we're also

468
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: seeing this in Green Bay? What's going on with Aaron Rodgers?

469
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: Didn't get together with his receivers in preseason, didn't know

470
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: what his future was, Davante Adams leaves, and it just

471
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: you know, now he wants to simplify the game plan

472
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: whatever that means. I mean, Matt Laflora wasn't even sure

473
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers meant by this, right, I like, what

474
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: is going on in Green Bay? You know, Aaron Rodgers,

475
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: the great Aaron Rodgers, one of the if not most

476
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: talented quarterbacks, has now suffered from a condition we all

477
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: have suffered from man and it's called the curse of

478
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: the gifted. And if you're talented, as something we've all

479
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: been tempted at this moment when you're talented and you're

480
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: getting the reward from that talent to skip a step,

481
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: you know, And they talk about that a lot in

482
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: terms of sophomore slump or anytime you have to do

483
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: something again but you know you're good at it. Do

484
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: you go back to square one? And if you're Aaron

485
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers with new receivers, without Davante Adams on a new team,

486
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: because every year the roster's different, you can't skips depths.

487
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: You gotta go back to square one, especially when you're

488
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to establish chemistry. I just think this is one

489
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: of the curses of the gifted. He just thought, I'm

490
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. These guys gonna run routes, will make it happen.

491
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: I've always made it happen, and now you're starting to

492
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: see that come back to haunt him. Just that simple

493
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: he's more zealous. Wiley, the former NFL defensive end host

494
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: of More to It, the podcast on the Dan Patrick

495
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: Podcast Network. Little Wayne is the guest this week, and

496
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: you can hear that today. Bruce Smith joins you next week.

497
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: And I know that you already taped this with Bruce, right, Yes, Okay.

498
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: And if you say, would you rather go to four

499
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 1: super Bowls but not win a super Bowl or go

500
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: to one super Bowl and win the Super Bowl? What

501
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: would Bruce Smith take given the fact that we always

502
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: bring up the Bills that they lost four in a row. Yeah,

503
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: and that's what the question was. Amazing answer from Bruce

504
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: because I thought I had really put them in a

505
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: corner with that one. You go to four and lose

506
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 1: them all, why not go to one and just win one?

507
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 1: And that's enough? But Bruce just showed me why Bruce

508
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: Smith is the greatest defensive end of all time, all

509
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: time leader in sacks and all time leader in tackles.

510
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: His answer, and I want people, obviously to listen to

511
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: the podcast to find out the depth of his character

512
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: and his response. I gotta go to all four. I'm

513
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,159
Speaker 1: going to four and losing four. You know what, I'm not,

514
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: as I said here, not a champion and dealing with

515
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: that reality versus getting so close so many times but

516
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: coming up short every single time. I'm going with one

517
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: for one versus oh for four. But you should hear

518
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: what Bruce says. I think it's a different answer than

519
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: both of us and a greater answer. And I brought

520
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: this up before that we've been nominated for Sports Emmy

521
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: for this show five years in a row. Nice. Now,

522
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: if we won one and then didn't have the other

523
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: four years of being nominated, I would have a problem

524
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: with that. I would rather be nominated five times not

525
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: win than nominated just one time and win. I mean,

526
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: there's a longevity argument, there's a I am great in excellence,

527
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: but I have not achieved the ultimate goal conversation we're having.

528
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: For me, everyone is second place, no matter how it feels.

529
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: If you don't win at all, you could be the

530
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, the first loser or whatever you want to

531
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: call it. We're all chasing one thing. You don't acquire

532
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: that one thing being number two versus number thirty two

533
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: in NFL, what's really the difference. So that's why I

534
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: think it's almost a zero sum game. It's all or nothing.

535
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: And for me, why are we in pursuit of nothing?

536
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 1: We're in pursuit of it all. Let me get that

537
00:29:55,240 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: one and didn't move on? Yeah? Did us way you? No?

538
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: No, no no, no no no. I still would go to four

539
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 1: super Bowls, four in a row, which will never be

540
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 1: done again. And they go to four, they did lose. Um,

541
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: I'd rather go oh for four than really hard baseball.

542
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: I just heard you guys. You'd rather go in the

543
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: World Series in Game seven oh for four? Or would

544
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: you rather go one for one? And that one was

545
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the dinger out the park? Come on, well, wait a minute.

546
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: It's different because if I don't have any hits, I

547
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl, it's not like it's an

548
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: over I got to the super Bowl. If I get

549
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: to the World Series and we lose, but I play

550
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: well more importantly, Uh, did you ever have that? How

551
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: many times did you have a game where you go, hey,

552
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: can't blame me. I had a couple of sacks here. Yeah,

553
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean if the most bitter sweet moment in your life,

554
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: when you're like walking off the field like I did that,

555
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: I dominated don't look at me coaching. Hey, ladies, I'm

556
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: over here. But you have to perform. You have to

557
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: act like, oh my god, I just lost my puppy

558
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: because we lost the game, and so now you're mad. Actually,

559
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: because no one is going to go around saying where

560
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: we going to night? Oh I meet you here because

561
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: we lost, So we're all dressing up the performance of losing.

562
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: But in reality, inside there are a few guys like

563
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: na dog to nice tonight, I need to get out.

564
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: So you gotta deal with that, especially if you're on

565
00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: losing teams, and I was on a few of those

566
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: loss where they are women like you know, in baseball,

567
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: they know where you are. Basketball, they know where you are,

568
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: where your hotel is. You know how different was it

569
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: for you being in the NFL. Well, in football we

570
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: know where they are. Yeah. No, if you ask me

571
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: a question, you're gonna get the real answer. All right.

572
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: So football, it's funny because we have the curfew, right,

573
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: we don't live on the role like baseball players and

574
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: like basketball players, what curfew shoot around chilling the room?

575
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's a whole different world. They're rock stars.

576
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: Football players. We land in the city. Let's say four pm.

577
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: We have curfew at eleven o'clock. But they're smart because

578
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: if you give us seven hours, we will cross state

579
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 1: borders like the guys would leave the states and come back.

580
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: We got time. So every football team throws that middle

581
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: meeting around eight o'clock special teams offense and defense, a

582
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: five minute meeting. We do not need it. We don't

583
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: have to be there, and they throw that meeting in

584
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: the middle to make sure we don't cross those state borders.

585
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: But in those two or three hours before and after,

586
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: we find our way like water, and we find those ladies.

587
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: And most of the time it was a restaurant, it

588
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: was a strip club, and sometimes you just stayed in

589
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: the room and you have security to take care of you. Man,

590
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: and you played the next day. What do you mean

591
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: he takes care of you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Toy

592
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: Bow says, there's no preferential treatment. And look, when I

593
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: was a rookie, I didn't get any preferential treatment. I

594
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: was scared straight like security come on the floor. I'm like,

595
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: oh my god, security here. They're gonna tell coach, I'm

596
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: not gonna play tomorrow. When you become a veteran, security

597
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: is on your team. And so if you wanted to

598
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: have friends over male female, the homies come in town

599
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: and you wanted some lady to come, you want on

600
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: a different floor, you guys want to hang out. Security

601
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: will look out for certain individuals, and there was a

602
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: compensation package that came along with that. You took care

603
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: of security. They took care of you, so you would

604
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: pay security to look the other way. Um, they didn't

605
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: have to look the other way. Just don't look this way.

606
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: When you do look this way, you didn't see me,

607
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,959
Speaker 1: you know, like I didn't. I didn't tell them how

608
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: to do their job. I understanding. Look, I'm not a

Speaker 1: you've recently changed jobs, maybe you're considering retirement, probably thinking

620
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: about your own version of success and striving to reach

621
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: your goals, and maybe it's time to start thinking about

622
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: investment portfolios and retirement accounts. Retirement's a big deal. You

Speaker 1: don't want to do it alone, and you can't afford

650
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: a hell yeah, maybe it's just a coincidence. Lebron James

651
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: scored thirty one. Lakers have lost three straight games in

652
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: which Lebron scored at least thirty since the start of

653
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 1: last year. There's sixteen and nineteen when he scores thirty

654
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: or more. Here's Lebron after the loss with a brutal, brutal,

655
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: lye honest answer. I think we're getting great looks. I think,

656
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: but it also could be teams given us great looks.

657
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,840
Speaker 1: Be completely honest. We're not a team that's constructive of

658
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: great shooting. And that's just the truth of the matter

659
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: is it's not like, you know, we're sitting here with

660
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: a lot of lasers on our team, so you know,

661
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 1: but that doesn't deter us from still trying to get

662
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: great shots and when we get those opportunities to take them.

663
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: But we're not sitting here with a bunch of forty

664
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: plus career through point shooting guys. Yeah, don't have any

665
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: lasers there. It's game one. We don't have great shooters.

666
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: I don't even know if you have good shooters, and

667
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 1: you don't have depth other than that, Yes, PAULI sometimes

668
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: I wonder where like a guy like JJ Reddick who

669
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: still had something left in the tank, doesn't call it

670
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers go cool. I'll take twelve million for a year.

671
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: Wouldn't you want to have something like him spotting up

672
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: on your team? You don't need defense from him or

673
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: some guy like that. Yeah, but Darvin Ham is a

674
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: defensive minded head coach and he wants everybody to play

675
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: defense because he knows the limitations this team has. And

676
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: unless you get everybody to play at both ends of

677
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: the floor, you're gonna be a team that's there for

678
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: the playing game. Odds to win the MVP, according to

679
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: Draft Kings, Todd'll start with you who's the favorite to

680
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 1: win the MVP this year. I'm gonna go with the

681
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: Greek Freaks. Greek freaks, Seaton, O'Connor, Luca, Luca, Marv Luca, Pauli, Embiid.

682
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: His name is Luca, and then it's Janis, then Embiid,

683
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: then Durant and then the Joker, followed by Steph Curry,

684
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, John Morand and Zion. Zions is a sneaky

685
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: pick by some people. It feels like the Pelicans, You're

686
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: you're not all in on that, Seaton. Huh. Maybe Comeback

687
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: Player of the Year for Zion, Yes, Marve, Yeah, MVP

688
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: is a stretch because look, there's gonna be players Ingram McCullum,

689
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: a couple of other guys where he's not gonna be

690
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: like the focal focal point to me, and they're gonna

691
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: they're not gonna win that many games. I don't know.

692
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: I got high hopes for him. I think they're they're

693
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,799
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun team to watch, yea Seaton. It's

694
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: like like I want them to do great, okay, and

695
00:38:55,200 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: I want Zion to de great okay, But I don't know. Yes, Todd,

696
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: will the Pelicans be the Broncos of the NBA. Everyone

697
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,399
Speaker 1: got all excited They're one piece away. Zion's healthy and now,

698
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: great things gonna happen. Don't don't do that too, There's

699
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 1: no reason to be rude. Time down. Why are you

700
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: doing that? Nobody wants to be the Bronco. I think

701
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,360
Speaker 1: they're being set up for that. Zion's back and we

702
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: got these parts and they we got this young team

703
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be big and uh, primetime games and whatever. Yeah,

704
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: and let's rad happen. Lez Ra Golden State is uh

705
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: now tied with the Clippers and Celtics best odds to

706
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: win the title. Nobody's talked about the Clippers at all

707
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: because the Lakers' shadow is so big. And then you

708
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: know we're when's the last time you saw Kawhi play

709
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: Paul George at a high level? Yeah? More he's in

710
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: a New Balance commercial with Jack Harlowe. Oh that's right,

711
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: I saw that song. I saw that. Okay, Blue Blue, Um,

712
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: let me see uh Andrew and Florida. Andrew, thanks for

713
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: holding what's on your mind? Hey Dan six to two, honey,

714
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. It was brought up a

715
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago about the Tom Brady escapade down

716
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: and off the field, and on the podcast recently he said, quote,

717
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: I almost look at football season like you're going away

718
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 1: on a deployment in the military, and it's like, man,

719
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: here I go again. So since dropping that line, the

720
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 1: media has been all over Brady, and between his off

721
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: the field drama with Giselle and the frenzy around this

722
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: Saturday walked through Craft's wedding, a limp start to the

723
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: Buck season. You know, is it time for Tom to

724
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: start proving himself by winning another Super Bowl? Or is

725
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: it time for Tom to hang it up? Well, I

726
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: don't want to tell somebody to retire. I wouldn't want

727
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: somebody to tell me when to retire. But at some point,

728
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,400
Speaker 1: are you having fun? Are you enjoying this? And he

729
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's having fun or enjoying this. Doesn't

730
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: mean that they can't fix this, but it's a clumsy

731
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: comparison when he's talking about playing football and going to

732
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: war if you didn't serve, it's tough to make that

733
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: and you know, bring that up and that analogy, you

734
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: just can't do it. And yes, it's open season. It

735
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,240
Speaker 1: feels like on Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Russell Wilson.

736
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 1: It feels like that because they're not playing well and

737
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: that's what happens. If Russ is playing well, nobody cares

738
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: about him saying les, Rah, it's just all right that

739
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna say that, yes, okay, let's right. I, for

740
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,000
Speaker 1: one said, it's ridiculous that he needs to keep saying

741
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 1: that yes. Even for as much as we crushed him

742
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 1: for saying it, it was kind of sad to see

743
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 1: him walk away without saying but he looks so sad. Oh,

744
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: he's like, gods, I want to say, let's right, all right, guys,

745
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you, And they just walked off the

746
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: sad face. He didn't even get to go. I feel

747
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: bad that we took that from him, not just us collective. Yes,

748
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: if you were covering the team would have part of

749
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: you want to say, while everything was quiet and he's

750
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: slumping away off the side, that would you want to say, no,

751
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,759
Speaker 1: let's ride for us today? What if you were you

752
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 1: were someone would have said that at the end. You know,

753
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: tonight was unfortunate. We should have won that game. He

754
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: felt like, and uh, we we gotta keep going. Thank

755
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: you guys. Yep, oh no, that's ride Russell. Wait, wait, wait,

756
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 1: one more question? Where lets to over time less than

757
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: a row? Let's right once again. Dustin Hopkins named the

759
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: four field goals that I made to beat the Broncos.

760
