1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. The US men's basketball team lost its first 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: game since two thousand and four. That was yesterday. Somehow 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: Team USA forgot how to shoot down the stretch. They 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: lost to the French team. That well, the US couldn't 6 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: stop Evan Fournier. You can't stop Evan Fournier. You can 7 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,800 Speaker 1: only hope to contain him. The team does not want 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: to be associated with the O four Olympic squad that 9 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: was a team bronze. That team the perfect example of 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,639 Speaker 1: you can have a ton of talent, that doesn't mean 11 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 1: you're winning. Lebron d Wade, Tim Duncan, Allen iverson young players, 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: but still we're talking about Hall of famers. But they 13 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,960 Speaker 1: had their shooting woes. Team USA trying to avoid that 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: same fate this year. Strange to watch them play and 15 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: this happens in Olympic or international competition. A lot of 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: these players, they have been playing with the same team, 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: same player. I'm time. It's not just a hey, let's 18 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: roll out the basketball's we got all stars, go out 19 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: there and win. That's not the way it works. Also, 20 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: these star players from the United States are not getting 21 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: the calls that they normally get, which is weird because 22 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: there's a sense that the European players are soft. But 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,119 Speaker 1: that's not the case, not anymore. It's almost like Team 24 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: USA is software because they're waiting for these calls that 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,679 Speaker 1: they got during the NBA season. The Olympics are officiated differently. 26 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,919 Speaker 1: There's not this preferential treatment that you have in the NBA, like, oh, 27 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: he gets that call. That's not the way it works 28 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: in the Olympics. But this is another wake up call 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: because it's time for Team USA to play with a 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: little bit of urgency here and avoid any comparison to 31 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,960 Speaker 1: that twenty four team. Greg Popovich has lost five of 32 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: his last eight games as Team USA head coach. This 33 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: in World Cup and Olympic Action, Popovich's teams have a 34 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: six and three record. Mike Chazhevsky's record in World Cup 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: and Olympic Action fifty six and three. Stat of the day, 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: stat of the day, stat of the day, stat of 37 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: the day.

Mclovin, what kind of poll question do you 43 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: have for me today? Okay? Do you want to start 44 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: with negative or very negative? Okay, let's start with tam 45 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: USA basketball. If we put out the poll, do they 46 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: win the gold medal? Okay? How do people vote? Do 47 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,520 Speaker 1: you care if they win the gold medal? Because I 48 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: don't know if people are caught up? And do you 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: care if they don't win the gold medal? Because I 50 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: think that's when that's the only time we care is 51 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: when we're supposed to win and we don't. You go 52 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: back to the nineteen eighty eighteen you know, if Simone 53 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: Biles loses, we're like, oh my gosh, you know she 54 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: had a substandard performance here. Oh wait, Katie Ladecki lost. 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 1: What that's when we care. When they win, It's like, okay, 56 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: nothing to see here and we just move on. Team USA. 57 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: What we lost again? Nigeria, Australia, now, France? Can we 58 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: beat Iran? I hope? What else do you have in Well, 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: that's the next question. What would be the biggest disappointment 60 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: if Katie Ladecki struggled, If Simone bone Biles. Yeah, she's 61 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: like the Michael Jordan of this Olympic. Well, when you 62 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: wear an outfit that says goat, like she she's saying, 63 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: I'm the goat. Now that you know, these are just 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: qualifying rounds going on. But it was one of those 65 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: where she she didn't perform her best and I think 66 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: that caught everybody's attention because if she did perform like 67 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: she normally does, then people would be like, oh, yeah, 68 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: she's gonna win the gold. It's that Oh wow, Katie. 69 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: Katie led Beckie swim the second fastest time of her 70 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: career and finished second. She's only twenty four and she 71 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: lost to a woman from Australia who's twenty. But that's 72 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: how quickly it works in swimming, where you think, oh, 73 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: what is your prime? Twenty four you might be starting 74 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: to get old crazy, But she I think we've had 75 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: her penciled in for quite a few gold medals. Yeah, 76 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: the club that leads us to our hard hitting Olympic pole. 77 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,119 Speaker 1: The day from Paul Pass, which sport makes you feel 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: worse about your own physique, I'll give you the sports 79 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 1: because watching these sports does nothing, because then I get 80 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: up with my chips and salsa and my beer, and 81 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: I walked past a mirror as I just saw swimming. 82 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: I was watching the men's swimming. They don't look like 83 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: real people look cgi water polo. They're a little more 84 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: jacked than the swimmers, but not as cut, but they 85 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: look like they're in perfect shape. Yeah, soccer guys. I 86 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: think it was the Sweden s soccer team. The worst 87 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: guy on the team, the worst looking guy looks like 88 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: Brad Pitt, like young Brad Pitt's and he's the uggly dude. 89 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: Track and field, those guys are in perfect shape. Yeah, 90 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: and then other is there another sport that where you 91 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: feel worse about your physy having seen water polo in person? 92 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: And those dude are taught like there's no contact when 93 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: you're swimming, you know, when you're when you're one hundred 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,440 Speaker 1: meter breaststroke. You know, there's no hand to hand combat 95 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: when you're in water polo, So why don't you tread 96 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: water for a couple of hours? And then you've got 97 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: guys who were clawing and I'm watching the women play 98 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: there there's got scratch marks all over them. I mean 99 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: they're there. It's hand to hand combat. So I if 100 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: I would I'd rather walk into a bar and say 101 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm a water polo player, then let them have the 102 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: you know, they of course obvious joke of how does 103 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 1: your horse not drown? And then you would, and then 104 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I would be a swimmer or a soccer player. Yes, right, 105 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: it's like treadwater for thirty minutes and then tackle people. Yeah, 106 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: tackle this other dude. There was a moment, uh this 107 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: weekend and I'm watching and you're keeping the back of 108 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: your mind. These dudes are treading water the whole time, 109 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: and another guy tackled the dude with the ball, shoved 110 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 1: him of their water, like ripped off his head scarf 111 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: whatever that is scar and then and then chuck the 112 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: ball from him and then they are like whistled him 113 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: for a foul. But still it was like the most 114 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 1: punishing thing that he's drowning this guy. Yeah, it's like, yeah, 115 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm just stealing the ball. Water polo. Yeah, how many 116 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: sports do you perform at the Olympics where you could drown? 117 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: Water polo is hockey if the ice melted. Although there 118 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: is one part of a there's one part of water 119 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: polo today that I hadn't seen. Have you ever seen 120 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: how they dribble with the ball. Like sometimes they'll they'll 121 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: be swimming and they're like dribbling the ball. The guy's 122 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: swimming like this freestyle poking it with his nose, poking 123 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: the ball down the water or whatever, and then he 124 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: picks it up and like crosses the ball over, but 125 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: he did it with his nose, Like yeah, yeah, I don't. 126 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't know about the best looking though soccer during 127 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: the euro It's my wife's like, when's that Denmark England game? 128 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: And I'm like, what, well, that's because Harry Kane. That's 129 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: her number one? Yes all. By the way, got some 130 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: breaking news here, Yeah, this isn't Harry Kane related, by 131 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: the way. Tom Pella Sero NFL Network says the Texans 132 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: are now willing to listen and have been for some 133 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: time to trade offers for Deshaun Watson. Multiple sources tell 134 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: me and Ian Rappaport the price is high for a 135 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: player of his caliber and should be. It'll likely take 136 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: at least three first round picks. In more. He also 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: says that Deshaun Watson reported to camp yesterday and was respectful, 138 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: but his demeanor reiterated he doesn't want to be in Houston. 139 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: The question is will a team step up with the 140 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: type of massive offer that could compel the Texans to 141 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: move him. Now, Watson also would apt to wave his 142 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: no trade. There's a couple of teams who are monitoring 143 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: this situation from what I'm told, Denver, Miami, Philadelphia, Carolina. Yes, 144 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: it does feel like the Shaun Watson situation has not 145 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: deteriorated off the field. There's been no smoking gun in 146 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: the past four months. But how can a team, let's 147 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: say it was Denver was interested in trading from how 148 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: can they trade for him without knowing Yeah, the details 149 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: behind the accusations and I don't know if he's going 150 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: on in the commissioner's example list. Usually that would happen 151 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: as we get closer to the season, I believe. But 152 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: there is no real smoking gun here with Adrian Peterson, 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: there were pictures with ray Rice, there was a video. 154 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: There's really no smoking gun. We know that there's accusations, 155 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: but he has not been formally charged here. Can he 156 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: make this go away? And if he makes this go away, 157 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: does the NFL punish him? And from what I'm told, 158 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: the NFL doesn't seem like it's leaning towards punishing him 159 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: right now? Can you put him on the commissioner's examp 160 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: list and can you get him at a lesser rate 161 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 1: than you would have a few months back. I don't 162 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,479 Speaker 1: know other than hey, he settled all of these cases. 163 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: Does the NFL punish him and if so, for how long? 164 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: Or if they don't, then the Texans would be open 165 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: for business. But I think that they had been holding 166 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: out because what is the value of Deshaun Watson. Deshaun 167 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: Watson led the NFL in passing yards last year. He 168 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: completed seventy percent of his passes. He played for a 169 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: horrible team and did all of that. He's young, under contract, 170 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: and obviously there's some baggage that's going to go along 171 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: with him. That's why you have these teams that are 172 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: monitoring the situation. And if you're Denver and you could 173 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: get Aaron Rodgers or you could get Deshaun Watson, I 174 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: would say Watson, But then what am I giving up? 175 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: What's the baggage I'm getting? And Aaron Rodgers what do 176 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:09,319 Speaker 1: I have to give up? Plus he's twelve years older 177 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,440 Speaker 1: than Deshaun Watson, and we don't know what's happening with 178 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: the Packers. We're probably going to find out a little 179 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: bit more later today or tomorrow. If Rogers is going 180 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: to show up, is he going to show up and 181 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: play one more year? Is he going to show up 182 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: and say, Hey, you don't want me to be a distraction? 183 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,959 Speaker 1: Trade me? And now you got the Davante Adams situation 184 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: as well. And we'll talk to Peter King about this. 185 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 1: But make no mistake about it. Somebody who is I 186 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: don't want to say a friend of Aaron Rodgers. I 187 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 1: don't want to over characterize this, but said to me yesterday, 188 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: Aaron doesn't do anything by accident. It's all by design. 189 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: He's got a game plan. There's no way that he's 190 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: sort of going in there just kind of Hey, whatever 191 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: happens happens. He knows exactly what he wants to do, 192 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: how he wants to do it, what his endgame is. 193 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: Whether he gets that or not, that's, you know, completely 194 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: different story. But what his game plan is. I was 195 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: told that he knows exactly what he's doing. Yeah, po, 196 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: do you think another team could lowball Deshaun Watson because 197 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: go back to I think it was February, people are 198 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: talking four first round picks for him. That's back when 199 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: there was no accusations. Now he's got baggage. And also 200 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: I would think that the Texans don't want him on 201 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 1: the team at all because they're going for the first 202 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: round pick next year. Here's what was told to me 203 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 1: over the weekend. You know, as much as you look 204 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: at the Texans and they can tank, there is no 205 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: great quarterback. This is what I was told. There's no 206 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 1: great quarterback NFL scout who's been a great source for 207 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: this show. There is no Trevor Lawrence that you have 208 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: quality quarterbacks. Spencer Rattler has played one quality season. And 209 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,120 Speaker 1: this is where if you're the Texans and you go, 210 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: we want that number one pick, Okay, you're not. You 211 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: might not replace to Shaun Watson with hey we got 212 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: Justin Fields or we got Trevor Lawrence here. You know, 213 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: it's not that player is not there right now. Now. 214 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks always emerged, But I was told yesterday a Saturday 215 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: that there is no Hey, that's a that's a franchise 216 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: making quarterback. There's nobody like that right now. And that's 217 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: another thing to factor in. Yes, mclovin, right, like you said, 218 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: there's always a Trabisky or even Mahomes. Wasn't Baker Mayfield? 219 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: Remember he was a second rounder up until a month though. Yeah. 220 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: And Zach Wilson. Yeah. I mean there's always quarterbacks that 221 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: jump up, and there are a couple of quarterbacks that 222 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,839 Speaker 1: are out there, but I was told that there's no 223 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: boy that guy can turn your franchise around. Be sure 224 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show 225 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: weekdays at nine am Eastern, six am Pacific on Fox 226 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio WAPP. It's bringing Peter 227 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: King Football Morning in America and NBC Sports columnists. Good morning, Pete. 228 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: How are you. Everything's going great? Dan? How about yourself? 229 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: We're great. You're back from vacation, ready to hit the 230 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 1: road covering training camp. The top headline today in the NFL, 231 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: in your opinion is what you know, what'll happen with 232 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. It's going to continue to be the top headline. 233 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: He's due to report to Packers camp tomorrow, as all 234 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 1: veteran players are. I don't assume he's going to report 235 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: to camp, but who knows. He could make it. Like 236 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: Brett Farve in two thousand and eight when Farve said 237 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to push their hand, I'm gonna, you know, 238 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: and I'm going to put pressure on them. I'm going 239 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: to report and make it hot on them. So you 240 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: just don't know. There's a news blackout from all sides 241 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 1: on it. It's very hard to get anybody to talk 242 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: about it over the weekend, even on deep background. So 243 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Yeah, I was going to bring 244 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,119 Speaker 1: that up that you know, you're trying to get information 245 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: and it's difficult to get any information because it feels 246 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers is the person with all the information 247 00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: and nobody else has to take on it or willing 248 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: to say something that might incite something here. Yeah, I 249 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: think it's Aaron Rodgers and his agent, David Dunn, who 250 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:11,720 Speaker 1: coincidentally was the agent for the last star quarterback who 251 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: really fought his way out of a place, and that 252 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: was Carson Palmer. You know, a decade and a half 253 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: ago when he said, I'm not playing for the Bengals anymore. 254 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: I'll retire and look, Carson Palmer was not going to 255 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: play for the Bengals anymore. But but you know he 256 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: got fortunate at the trading deadline that year because the 257 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: Raiders remember that year, Jason Campbell was the Raiders quarterback. 258 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: He got hurt. The Raiders desperately needed a quarterback. Al 259 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: Davis said, We'll do whatever it takes to get Carson Palmer. 260 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different in this particular case because 261 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: if you want to get Aaron Rodgers, you know that 262 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: it's going to take about two or three times as 263 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: much as it did to get Carson Palmer back in 264 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: the day. And I just don't think as of this moment, 265 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: as we sit here on July twenty sixth, that the 266 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: Packers still are even entertaining the thought of trading them. 267 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: But if they do, as I wrote this morning, they 268 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: must get twenty twenty one value in return, which is 269 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: why I proposed multiple first round draft picks and something 270 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 1: like Drew Locke and Jerry Judy from Denver for Aaron Rodgers. 271 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 1: Most people would say, well, that's not enough. Well, you're 272 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: not exactly in the best position to trade right now. 273 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 1: If you got a question for Rogers and had that opportunity, 274 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: what would you ask him? What are you going to do? 275 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: I mean, because look, Dan, you know the funny thing 276 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: about all this is, you know, Aaron went on with 277 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: Kenny Maine. What was it now a couple of months ago, 278 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: I guess, and he said, I love the fans, I 279 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: love the team, I love the coaches, I love Jordan Love, 280 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 1: I love the history, I love everything about Green Bay. 281 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: Left unsaid was that he doesn't love Brian Goodkins, and 282 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: I guess he doesn't love Martin Murphy, the team president. 283 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: So you know, honestly, my olive branch in this situation 284 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: is basically Rogers agreeing to play one more year with them, 285 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: and then the Packers agreeing to trade him to one 286 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: of four teams in the AFC after this seat that 287 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: Rogers could designate after this season, and then let's all 288 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: move on to the next crisis of the day. Tom 289 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: Pallisero is reporting that the Texans are now willing to 290 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: listen and have been for some time with offers for 291 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. But I'm I'm just trying to figure out 292 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: the bargaining power. Can I give you a lesser offer? 293 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 1: You have that sense of uncertainty here with Deshaun Watson. Pete, 294 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: how do you think this plays out with the Texans? 295 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: I just don't think it makes any sense whatsoever to 296 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: trade him right now, or to you even enter Hane 297 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 1: thoughts about trading him, because unless you're the Philadelphia Eagles 298 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: and say, we'll give you three ones and two players 299 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: right now for a guy who probably isn't going to 300 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: play the first half of this season, if he's going 301 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: to play this season at all, you know, you've got 302 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: to have full education about a player before you would 303 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,679 Speaker 1: consider trading for him, especially making a megatrade. What happens 304 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: if this case, you know, drags on for months and 305 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 1: months or maybe into next year. I mean, if you're 306 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles right now and Deshaun Watson is going 307 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: to be traded and you find out that, say the 308 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers are going to trade the Moon and the 309 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: Stars for him, I still wouldn't go nuts and trade 310 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: for him, because, look, there's probably only a fifteen twenty 311 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: percent chance that Jalen Hurts is good enough to be 312 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: your long term guy. We all know that. But they're 313 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,719 Speaker 1: giving them this year and then they're going to have 314 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,719 Speaker 1: the opportunity, maybe in next year to take a really 315 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: good rookie quarterback who we don't know. A year ago, 316 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson was a total nobody and he ends up 317 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: being the second pick in the draft. So don't tell 318 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: me that the you know, the quarterback crop next year stinks. 319 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: I don't. First of all, I have no idea whether 320 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: it's stinks or not. They got to play this year. 321 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,399 Speaker 1: People will emerge this is a bad time to trade 322 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson and to trade for Deshaun Watson. But the 323 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: commissioner's exemp list does that help the situation? Because Deshaun 324 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: Watson's there and I don't know if he's showing up. Hey, 325 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: you don't want to be fine, but be you sort 326 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: of want to be a distraction. So they say, all right, 327 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: we don't want you on the field. What do you 328 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: think can happen with the commissioner's exemp list here? Look, 329 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: if he's put on the commissioner's exemp list, then obviously 330 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: then he doesn't have to show up. He won't show 331 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: up up it. Look, and it's also within the Texans 332 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: purview to have Deshaun Watson report and for you to 333 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: tell Watson, you know, Nick Kissaria, David Culley, to tell him, hey, 334 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: just go home, we don't want you here and you 335 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 1: know we're not going to find you, and have him 336 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 1: be one of the ninety men on the roster, but 337 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: he's just not participating in practice, and so look, you know, 338 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: it's it's a wide open field in Houston. I just 339 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: think it makes no sense to trade him or to 340 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: trade for him right now. He's back from vacation. Peter King, 341 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: Football Morning in America column and NBC Sports as well. Wednesday. 342 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: You'll be in Nevada Thursday with the Niners, Friday, the Cowboys, Saturday, 343 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:54,159 Speaker 1: the Rams. Which of those teams is most intriguing? You know, 344 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: in my opinion, the Raiders, and look, the Niners are 345 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: very very close to them, but the Raiders. You know, 346 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 1: this year four of John Gruden, Dan, he's nineteen and 347 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: twenty nine. I mean, you know that's not what you're 348 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: paying ten million dollars a year for. And so you know, 349 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 1: at some point the players who John Gruden and Mike 350 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 1: Mayock have brought into the fold have to play better 351 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: than nineteen and twenty nine. He knows that. They all 352 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: know that. The forty nine ers really interest me just 353 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: from the standpoint of I think they're when I rated 354 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: the teams one to thirty two, they're very very high 355 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,920 Speaker 1: on my list. They're number five. And my feeling about 356 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: them is if they are relatively healthy on defense this year. 357 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: I think they're going to be playing deep into January 358 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: and maybe into February. So I really like those two 359 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: teams just for the drama's sake. And obviously wherever Jerry 360 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: Jones is, wherever the Cowboys are, is going to be fun. 361 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: The Rams is. It's an interesting situation because you get 362 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 1: Stafford and now he got Now he gets talent around him, 363 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 1: He's got a couple of marquee defensive players. You got 364 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: pretty good offense, even though you lose cam Acres. I 365 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: wonder if the expectation level is getting a little too high, Pete, 366 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: and we haven't even gotten, you know, started with Cam. Look, 367 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: I am the worst person to pick to predict futures 368 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,360 Speaker 1: bets and things like that. Like if you would ask 369 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: me before the baseball season bet on one thing this year, 370 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: I would have taken the under on the Boston Red 371 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,439 Speaker 1: Sox victory seventy eight. What are they doing, you know, 372 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: with the best record in the American League. I have 373 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: no idea, but you know that's how much I know. 374 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: But if you ask me this year, who would be 375 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 1: your first quarterback in fantasy football this year, it'd be 376 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,239 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. And one of the reasons is what we 377 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: saw the other day when Cam A when Cam Akers 378 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: got hurt. Now they're into the flotsam and jetsam area 379 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 1: of their roster at running back, and I just think, 380 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. I think Matthew Stafford will lead the 381 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: NFL this year in passing yards and attempts. And so 382 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: you heard it here. First, he's gonna throw for five 383 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: thousand yards. He's going to throw it forty times a game. 384 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: Go out and buy Matthew Stafford in your fantasy league, 385 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: PAULI were we rolling on that so we can bring 386 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: that back to Peter Layton the season? Yes? Please? Absolutely? 387 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: What's that what's that website where they bring back horrible cold, 388 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: freezing cold takes? Yeah? Yeah, right, that'll be That'll be 389 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: that one when Matthew Stafford, uh, you know, gets benched 390 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 1: in week eleven because he's not playing well. Yeah. Do 391 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: you think expectation level? I don't know what the Cowboys 392 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: expectation level is, but it feels like the Browns expectation 393 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: level is really really high. Out of those two teams. 394 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: Why wouldn't it be Dan, Why wouldn't it be. They 395 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: had the ball against the Kansas City Chiefs in Kansas 396 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: City in the fourth quarter with the ability to drive 397 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: down the field and go ahead. I mean, if Baker Mayfield, 398 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: that would have been the Baker Mayfield moment. Okay, And 399 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: they didn't do it. And again everybody can say, well, 400 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: you know Patrick Mahomes didn't play in the fourth quarter, 401 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah he didn't. But you know what, in the first 402 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 1: three quarters, they didn't put the Cleveland Browns away. And 403 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: in fact, the Cleveland Browns played the Chiefs tougher than 404 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills did last year. The Bills lost by 405 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: fourteen and nine points in their two meetings. But you know, 406 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: as I wrote today, I mean tremendous optimism in both places, 407 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo and Cleveland. Dan. This is the first time since 408 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: you know, in over thirty years that each team has 409 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: been this good entering a season. And how about the 410 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: last time that each team won a playoff game in 411 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: a season like they did last year nineteen sixty four 412 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: went on back to back days in Cleveland and Buffalo, 413 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: they won the AFL and NFL championship games. So I 414 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: buy that they deserve both teams deserve to be hyped 415 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: up pretty good. What about Dallas? I mean, I don't know. 416 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: We talk about Dallas every year. I love Jerry Jones. 417 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: He had a quote in his opening press conference about 418 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: optimism that I thought was fantastic. Why be pessimistic? I'm 419 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: optimistic every year because I see the glasses being half full. 420 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 1: And you know what, if they get great play early 421 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 1: on from Micah Parsons and a really good group of linebackers. 422 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they are as deep at line backers as 423 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: really as any team is dan and if Michael Parsons 424 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,400 Speaker 1: is really good, they could have the ability to hold 425 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,199 Speaker 1: teams in the low twenties. If they do that and 426 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott can play seventeen games, then they're gonna be 427 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: pretty good. As of now, I give Washington the very 428 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: slight edge in the division, but I could see Dallas 429 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: winning eleven games. Last call for Roethlisberger, I would think, 430 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 1: But look, he heeded the calls. He heeded his bodies calls. 431 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 1: You know, when you saw the picture of him walking 432 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: into training camp looking like Ben Roethlisberger two thousand and 433 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: eight instead of what he looked like last year, which 434 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 1: was he was just he just got too big last year, 435 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, he looks good and Dan, if you listen 436 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: to him talk now, it's almost like the offensive coordinator 437 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: is Matt Canada. You know, this guy who nobody in 438 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: America has ever heard of. But I would say Ben Roethlisberger, 439 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,200 Speaker 1: while not being co coordinator, he's gonna have a lot 440 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: to say with what they run, how often they run it. 441 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: And I think he's gonna be at Matt Canada's side. 442 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: And so this is going to be a Roethlisberg season. 443 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: If the Steelers can have one last hurrah with Ben Roethlisberger, 444 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: this is it. I I just really wonder with the 445 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: offensive line, you know, having lost the two gigantic members 446 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: three really if you count Villanueva, but you lose their 447 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: best offensive lineman, David de Castro, and you lose the 448 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: center that was the leader not only of that line 449 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: but of that team in Marquise Pouncy. I mean, you know, 450 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: is Ben going to be running for his life or 451 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, are they going to be solid up there? 452 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,360 Speaker 1: We'll see. If the Rams win the Super Bowl, you're 453 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: our first asked on that Monday. If the Rams missed 454 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,640 Speaker 1: the playoffs, you're our first guest on that Monday, we're 455 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: gonna pay.

Paul, thanks for joining us. If 471 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: somebody was gone out of the country last week and 472 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 1: had no idea what happened in college football, how would 473 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 1: you sum up what's happened in the last seven days. 474 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: We'll simply put, Dan, everyone else is well, everyone else 475 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: was already playing for a second. Now, it's just not 476 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: even not even a close call. When this goes through, 477 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: and I think we all assume it will. The SEC 478 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 1: has put so much distance between themselves and the rest 479 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: of college football. And I know in the past a 480 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 1: lot of people have excused me of beating my chest unnecessarily. 481 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: I wrote a book six years ago in tode of 482 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 1: my conference, Compete your conference. I got laughed at. I'm 483 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: not getting laughed at anymore because it's you. Just it's 484 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: hard to explain to those who don't swim in these 485 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,800 Speaker 1: rather toxic orders of college football the importance of adding 486 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 1: Texas in Oklahoma to what's already Alabama and Auburn and 487 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: Florida and Georgia, LSU Texas am. I mean, it's an 488 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: endless stream of big brands, and I genuinely feel sorry 489 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 1: for all the other leagues because when the big ten 490 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: starts looking around, and I'll defer to you, because I 491 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: found out during COVID you are the big ten. You 492 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: are the voice of the big ten. I don't I mean, 493 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: you tell me who who Kevin Warren's going after, because 494 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't see too many attractive choices. Well, I wondered 495 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: if the SEC goes after the Big Ten. I've heard that, 496 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: and I know it seems unlikely today because it's so 497 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,960 Speaker 1: hard to digest teams. You know, there's right now the 498 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: SEC is about to move from fourteen to sixteen. And 499 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: if you want to see everyone within your five year 500 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,080 Speaker 1: period in college, that's very difficult. But I'm really interested 501 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: to see what other schools want to do. Yeah, I 502 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: would think if you're sitting there up in ann Arbor 503 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: right now and Jim Harbaugh is saying to his boss, 504 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, we really can't compete in the Big Ten. 505 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: I can't beat Ohio States. So I tell you what, 506 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 1: why don't you get me in the SEC, where I 507 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: know we can't compete not only with one team, but 508 00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: probably a few teams there. But I wonder about this. 509 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 1: I like in Greg Sanky, the SEC commissioner, to Roger Goodell, 510 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 1: because he's running college football. But if you said, let's 511 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: look at Sankey's end game, and I don't know if 512 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,600 Speaker 1: it's a three year, five year period or are we 513 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 1: looking at maybe an NFL model of college football? And 514 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: Greg Sanky is heading up the top thirty two to 515 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: forty college football programs, and you just use the model 516 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 1: that the NFL has very possibly and you know, until whenever, 517 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,479 Speaker 1: maybe before COVID, we always looked at Mark Emirate as 518 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: the head of the NC double A. I can assure you, 519 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: Greg thank you would take your call before he would 520 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: take Mark Emirate's call right now. And I don't mean 521 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: that as an insult to you. I mean I've heard 522 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: him on the show many times, but I mean Emirate 523 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: is is really powerless. He's just but he doesn't care. 524 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 1: He just you know, he's almost seventy years old. He 525 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 1: just cast a new contract in for five million dollars 526 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: a year, whatever it is, and so he's he's he's 527 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: quietly going to wherever former NC DOUBA presidents go. It's 528 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 1: usually to be a consultant. But yeah, that is exactly right. 529 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: And I don't if I could just say something off 530 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: the record because I don't want anyone to quote me 531 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: on this. But let's not forget who the other partner 532 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: is here. Dan is your former employee in Bristol, Connecticut. 533 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they have just a tremendous investment in the SEC. 534 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,120 Speaker 1: Not only do They control most of what everything, everything 535 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: that happens outside of two thirty or three thirty on 536 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon. They had the SEC network, and now they're 537 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,720 Speaker 1: about to take over the most valuable piece of property left. 538 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: That's the three thirty CBS window, which is not supposed 539 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: to go into an effect for a couple of years, 540 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: but something tells me that might be expedated. And they 541 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: also control the college football Playoff, which we've heard a 542 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 1: lot of double talk recently about why it may expand 543 00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: next two years from now or five years from now. 544 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: Greg Sanky is also the key guy there. So all 545 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 1: of this is going to start coming together very quickly. 546 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: My former employer, your current employer espa. Well. I say 547 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: that because whenever you go on a program like the 548 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show, you don't know if somebody has their 549 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: finger on the nuclear button that says you are no 550 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: longer employed. That's but if you want to get fired, 551 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: this is the place to do it. Okay. Oh and 552 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: by the way, if if I go down, I would 553 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: like to go down on the show. I'm wondering about 554 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: if your USC if you're Oregon, how concerned would you 555 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,840 Speaker 1: be in the PAC twelve right now? With what's going 556 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: on in the SEC. Well, I think as long as 557 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 1: the twelve team playoff goes into effect reasonably soon, I 558 00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: don't think you're going to be as concerned because you 559 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: still have a chance. Now you know, the first twelve 560 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 1: team playoff may involve ten SEC schools. I say that 561 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 1: somewhat jokingly, but not really. When you if you add, 562 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 1: I mean with Texas in Oklahoma, you're just you're giving 563 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 1: yourself more more wiggle room and more room for ERA. 564 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 1: But I think you know, I've heard all these you know, 565 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: Big ten marries, uh Pact twelve, all these marriages. What 566 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,360 Speaker 1: how has that worked out for the Big ten? I 567 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,040 Speaker 1: mean Big ten fans? Can you uh can you name 568 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:32,120 Speaker 1: anything about Rutgers or Maryland or Nebraska? I mean that exactly. 569 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 1: That hasn't exactly gone over well and and frankly, most 570 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 1: editions don't. It's hard to get the right school in 571 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: your league. But you know, nobody can tell me that 572 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,120 Speaker 1: these two are wrong for the SEC. No, And you know, 573 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: nobody cared. They wanted the New York market with Rutgers, 574 00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: but they don't care about college football in New York. Maryland. 575 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: They don't care about Maryland and Maryland. Uh, Nebraska, Nebraska 576 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: used to be Nebraska. But this expansion that the Big 577 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 1: Ten had, You're right, it didn't work out. I was 578 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: curious about Oklahoma, and let's say you've expanded to twelve teams. 579 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: Oklahoma in the Big Twelve was guaranteed of playing in 580 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,799 Speaker 1: the playoffs every single year and a pretty easy road 581 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 1: as well as opposed to the SEC. I know it's 582 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: about money, but I just wondered about that that part 583 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:29,160 Speaker 1: of this, that the Oklahoma was giving up that you know, uh, 584 00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: the fast lane to play for a national title. They are, 585 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: but you know, it doesn't matter what happens during the season. 586 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 1: And you know, the Oklahoma Iowa state game, which I 587 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,920 Speaker 1: think was the Big Twelve championship game last year. I mean, 588 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: that just doesn't resonate. Even though they're really good teams. 589 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,879 Speaker 1: I don't want to be knocking some of the best 590 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,920 Speaker 1: teams in the country. But yeah, one thing, the one 591 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:56,040 Speaker 1: thing the Big twelve never had that you need nowadays 592 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,560 Speaker 1: is your is a conference network. And I realized I 593 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: worked for one dan but the Big Well didn't have that, 594 00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: and that really hurt them. And ultimately Texas drives this 595 00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,680 Speaker 1: has been driving this Buss. Oklahoma has considered the SEC 596 00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 1: for about ten years. There have been back channel conversation. 597 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,479 Speaker 1: But remember ten years ago when college football was about 598 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,719 Speaker 1: to be blown up, Texas wanted to go to the 599 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: Pack twelve. Yeah, and the reason because they felt their 600 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:24,399 Speaker 1: academics marriage Stanford's in California's and schools like that, and 601 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,279 Speaker 1: welcome to the SEC. We've we've got good schools here too, 602 00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,440 Speaker 1: you folks in Austin. But yeah, things change, and you know, 603 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: I hate to sound like we're a bunch of role 604 00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,640 Speaker 1: of Russian oligarch sitting around the Putain's Black Sea Palace, 605 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 1: but it's all about money, and the money down here 606 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: is just a lot more valuable than the money out there. 607 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: What do you do if you're Clemson, Wow, you're I 608 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,240 Speaker 1: mean one, on one hand, you're you're assured of your league, 609 00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: but your your brand has gone down a little bit 610 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 1: because the ACC has has some real issues. I heard 611 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,720 Speaker 1: over the weekend the ACC was was lucky to expand 612 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:02,799 Speaker 1: and one of the first schools they were talking about 613 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: is West Virginia. Now they turned their nose up at 614 00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: West Virginia. Ten years ago, Dan and West Virginia had 615 00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: the high tail across the country. So I mean, you'll 616 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: you'll add a few schools, but you can't compete. And 617 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: I'm not saying, well, it'll be back up for a second. 618 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: The biggest prize left out there is Notre Dame, and 619 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: they're kind of half in the ACC. But yeah, if 620 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: you Knowre Dame, why why do you why do you 621 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,720 Speaker 1: need the ACC right now? You already have the benefit 622 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: of it in basketball. You collect the money there and 623 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,880 Speaker 1: you play five games a year and you have your 624 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 1: own TV network. It doesn't make much right now, it 625 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 1: doesn't make much stacks. Yeah, I wondered if there is 626 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 1: a bigger play for Notre Dame if if you know, 627 00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: it's musical chairs and the music is still going and 628 00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,879 Speaker 1: there's still chairs available. I just didn't know. If Notre 629 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: Dame makes it official and says we're part of the ACC, 630 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,600 Speaker 1: well I don't. I don't have the authority to do that. 631 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 1: But since I do work at the sector, if Notre 632 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,959 Speaker 1: Dame would like to join the SEC, I'll go ahead 633 00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: and give the inventation out right now on the damn Patridge. 634 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 1: All right, this just in, mister SEC. Paul Findbaum express 635 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: an invitation to Notre Dame. Okay, they just said yes, okay. Yeah, 636 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: and Paul McCartney will sing the national anthem at the 637 00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:18,879 Speaker 1: first Notre Dame Alabama game. Yeah, this is wild. Could 638 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: there be any hiccups with Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC? 639 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: I don't think so. I mean, this thing was already 640 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: down the track pretty far when the news broke last Wednesday, 641 00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: as I'm sure you mentioned Thursday, ironically, right as Jimbo 642 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: Fisher was about to get in front of the microphone. 643 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,160 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there courtside, we have a setup and 644 00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: I look over and there's the athletics director at Texas AM. 645 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,960 Speaker 1: He's conveniently available for comment too. And just for the point, 646 00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,319 Speaker 1: just for you trivia experts, it's the first time we've 647 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,359 Speaker 1: seen an athletic director at SEC media days in only 648 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:58,080 Speaker 1: eleven years. Well, I that was one of those if 649 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: you're an M, it didn't look good that they just 650 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: sort of bypassed you. You know, it's like monopoly where 651 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:09,279 Speaker 1: you have Baltic and Oriental and the like. You know, 652 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: you just kind of blow right by them.
