WEBVTT - 01/27/22 DPS Hour 1 Tom Pelissero 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:07.080 Sports Radio. We made it to a Thursday, Dan and 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:09.520 the Dan at Stan Patrick Show. Come on in stay 0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.720 a while. The actor Kevin James a little later on, 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:20.840 he's portraying, well, he's going to be portraying Sean Payton 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.880 in a movie. But we talked to him prior to 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.640 Sean Payton stepping down from the Saints. But it's about 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:30.040 the last time that Sean Payton was asked to step 0:00:30.080 --> 0:00:32.920 away from the Saints and coach his son's sixth grade 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:35.680 football team. So if you have that, we tape this 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.920 a couple of days ago, and we'll talk to Kevin James. 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.559 Coming up. A little bit later on Ross Tucker, our 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.160 good buddy CBS Westwood One will stop by. Tom Pellisero 0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.040 broke some news he is the insider for the NFL 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.239 Network that the Packers offensive coordinator is now the new 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.440 head coach to the Broncos, Nathaniel Hackett. Tom will join 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.120 us coming up and we'll ask him, do we connect 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.600 the dots here that you hire the Packers offensive coordinator? 0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.000 And it's been long rumored that if Aaron Rodgers was 0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.040 leaving Green Bay Denver would be the destination. He'll join us. 0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:12.039 Coming up, also, is Byron Leftwich going to get the 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:16.440 head coaching job at the Jaguars. It felt like Nathaniel 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.000 Hackett was maybe going in for another interview in Jacksonville, 0:01:20.520 --> 0:01:23.480 and that's when Denver swooped in to say, no, not 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:26.279 so fast, come on out here, come on out to Denver. 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:31.280 And we're getting closer to lockdown day, and we thought 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.160 maybe we'd have a couple coaching hires here over the 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:39.120 next seventy two hours, and we might with Nathaniel Hackett 0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:42.040 leaving to go to the Denver Broncos to be their 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.680 next head coach.

A lot of 0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:14.440 times what we do is you'll see the name and 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:17.520 the title the team that he's been with the team 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.960 he might be going to the relationship there, whether it's 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.160 a general manager and a coach, maybe it's a quarterback 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.440 and an offensive coordinator. We try to connect the dots. 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:31.639 Sometimes we do it too quickly, but the dots with Denver, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.360 with Aaron Rodgers have been there for quite some time. 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:36.880 And I'll go back to when Von Miller was traded. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:40.720 Even prior to that, I was told by a source saying, hey, 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:44.640 Aaron Rodgers going to green Bay. Green Bay will probably 0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.880 not ask for players in return, They'll ask for draft picks. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.600 And I'll go back to the night of the draft. 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.959 Denver was on the clock and we got the sense 0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.320 that maybe Aaron Rodgers was going to be traded right then. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:04.000 And Mark Slaret, the former Denver Bronco offensive lineman, he 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:08.600 expected Rogers to be traded that night. So then they 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:13.120 take a defensive player, and then we thought, Okay, that's interesting. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.400 Are they still going to trade for Aaron Rodgers if 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:20.120 that happens, if Aaron Rodgers leaves from what I was 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.280 told how many months ago, when Von Miller was traded, 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.720 even prior to that, if Aaron Rodgers goes there, Dallas 0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.120 is so good with draft picks, they would want draft 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.640 picks in return. Sometimes we'll look at a team and 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.800 go green Bay would want draft picks in return. But 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:38.920 a lot of times we'll look at these teams and say, boy, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.560 look at that lineup Aaron Rodgers would be walking into. 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.880 That doesn't stop Green Bay from saying, you know what 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:50.120 we want, Jerry Judy. But also understand this, Aaron Rodgers 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.800 is not a free agent. Everybody makes this seem like 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:59.080 he's free He can just keep going right out the door. Now. 0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.840 If he wants to retire, that's his decision. But Aaron 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.640 Rodgers can't just join the Denver Broncos. There has to 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.840 be a deal in place. It's like if Sean Payton 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.120 were to go to another team, there has to be 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.120 a deal in place. He's under contract with the Saints 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:18.559 and we might hear from coach. Now he could quit 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:21.320 and say he's going to go into the media, and 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.800 then I don't know how that works out that a 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.560 year after going into the media, can you go to 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.719 the Dallas Cowboys. There are other teams interested in Sean Payton. 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.200 Let's not kid anybody here he will have an opportunity 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.560 to be in the booth or being in a studio. 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.480 I'm sure, but I still get the feeling. I'm just 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.600 looking at the timing of this. If I look at 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.440 Sean Payton, not sure what he's going to do, Dallas 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.800 Cowboys don't give a ringing endorsement to Mike McCarthy now, 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:55.520 and I know that Jerry Jones loves Sean Payton. If 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:59.680 you're Jerry Jones at his age, once and desperately once 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.600 another or Super Bowl? Why wait another year? How can 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.839 I get him? What's it gonna cost? There's no salary 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.480 cap for a head coach, but you're gonna have to 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:14.200 trade him. And Jerry is in his late eighties, No, Jared, 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.799 Jerry Jones turns eighty eighty all right, Well, his face 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:22.159 looks a little younger there, but he's eighty years of age. 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:26.200 But he wants to win. He wants to win another 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:30.640 Super Bowl. But if you have Sean Payton, you don't 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.520 want to wait. And that opportunity to get Sean Payton, now, 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.000 what do you give the New Orleans Saints. That's the 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:41.960 curiosity here. The Cowboys left this open to interpretation because 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.000 right after the game, Jerry was asked about Mike McCarthy's future. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.919 He said, now, now's not the time to be discussing this. 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.840 What owner says this now. His son was a little 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.760 more positive, a little bit more forthcoming about Mike McCarthy 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.560 coming back. But Mike McCarthy doesn't know what his future is. 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:02.680 He probably probably thinks, hey, I'm I'm coming back. Why 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:07.200 wouldn't I be coming a back? Jerry Jones is a billionaire. 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.320 When a billionaire has a whim, that's when you have 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:15.440 to be careful because they can be dangerous. But Jerry 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.240 doesn't have to answer to anybody. All he has to 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:20.719 do is go, hey, what's it gonna take to get 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:26.919 Sean to join us as our head coach? And it 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.200 depending on what the Saints want. Do you want money, 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.919 you want draft picks, you want a player? What do 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.520 you want? I'll buy you one of those Jumbo trials. Yeah, 0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:37.800 it's like ours. Yeah, try not to make it hang 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.680 too low, to be too big. But if I'm the 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:46.280 Cowboys and I'm Jerry Jones, I know Sean Payton said 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:50.919 he wanted to step away for a little while, I'd 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.920 be I'd be all in on Sean Payton. And I 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.280 think that Jerry Jones, that that's got to be front 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:02.520 and center just the time of it. You lose, the Saints, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.960 don't make the playoffs, they get nine wins, salary cap hell, 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:11.480 don't like the quarterbacking situation. Here's Jerry maybe not sold 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:15.200 on Mike McCarthy. You got this opportunity, you should still 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.960 be playing. In his mind, let's get an offensive minded guy, 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.360 one of the brightest offensive minds that we've seen in 0:07:21.400 --> 0:07:24.360 the NFL. Now we can get him. What's it gonna cost. 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:27.960 I'm not worried about a salary. I'm if they want 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:31.280 draft picks, give them draft picks. Who cares. I'm gonna 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:33.600 be eighty years of age. I don't take my draft picks. 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.360 I don't care. But you want money, I'll give you money. 0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:41.280 I want Sean Payton. Yeah. See, it feels like things 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.760 are a little out of order. Though with this. They 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:46.720 very rarely do you know the next head coach before 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:49.920 you fired the current head coach. And I don't know 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.040 how that goes over in NFL coaching communities, where it's like, oh, yeah, 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.240 we're getting John Payton before we fired Mike McCarthy. That 0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:00.720 feels like a pretty big no. No, I just go 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:04.200 with the timing of it. Looks odd, just looks odd, 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.920 and knowing that Jerry thinks that highly of Sean Payton. 0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:10.760 And if you're Sean Payton, do you want to go 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.960 into the You can always go into the booth. But 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:18.280 what if Mike McCarthy somehow stumbles to a thirteen and 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.960 four record and they go to the NFC title game 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:25.320 next year? I mean, well, Cowboy fans love that, sure, 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.720 But if you're Sean Payton, the opportunity to coach the 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:35.320 Dallas Cowboys, that'd be a full circle because he was 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:38.480 there a long time ago. And I wouldn't I wouldn't 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.720 rule that out. It's like if you said, Okay, Aaron 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:44.440 Rodgers to the Broncos, I wouldn't rule it out. Do 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:47.280 I think Aaron stays in Green Bay? I don't. I 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.360 think he should. I think he has a better chance 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.800 of winning if he stays there. But who knows what 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.200 Aaron Rodgers thought process is. But I think sometimes when 0:08:57.200 --> 0:08:59.200 we go these guys need to step away a little bit. 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.760 Do you think Tom Brady knows what he's doing? I do. 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.120 Do you think Aaron Rodgers knows what he's doing. I do. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.959 Do you think Sean Payton knows what he wants to do? 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:13.920 I do. This isn't something that just comes up where 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.480 you go, I'll wait, season's over? What am I? What 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:20.199 am I gonna? I'm gonna quit this since ah season's 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.280 over and we lost again, I'm leaving the Packers. And 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.520 I think you give great thought to this. Tom Brady 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.520 has given thought to this. I don't think he's going 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.240 and season's over? What am I gonna do? What's my 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:38.280 next chapter? These guys don't get it, get this far 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.240 and this successful without thinking these things through. But you know, 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.560 the Packers losing their offensive coordinator to the Broncos, what 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.960 does it mean? I think it gives a bigger picture 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.480 here of Aaron Rodgers going there, assuming he gets along 0:09:55.520 --> 0:10:00.440 with Nathaniel Hackett. I don't know Byron left to it 0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:03.160 to the Jags. I get that. I think that's a 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.040 that would be a great hire. But it's not done yet. 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:10.240 But left which you go there, you have your quarterback, 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.839 and whatever you do in that first year has got 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.000 to be better than what urban Meyer did in his 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:23.920 first year. The bar is really low. The coachless teams Bears, Dolphins, Giants, Jags, Raiders, Saints, Texans, 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.880 and the Vikings. Amazing. So Tom Pella Sarah will join us. 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.440 Coming up, we'll settle on a poll question. Fritzee, what 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:32.400 poll question do you have for me? Today? We are 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.560 going to roll out Broncos hiring the Packers offensive coordinator 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:47.120 means Denver will acquire Aaron Rodgers or nothing. I'll say 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.679 that they acquire Aaron Rodgers. I don't know if they 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.839 needed to have the offensive coordinator become the head coach, 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:57.280 but I do think that that if Aaron Rodgers once 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:04.119 familiaritys what he saw. But I don't even know. Nathaniel 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:08.720 Hackett didn't call the plays in Green Bay, But wasn't 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.520 that a negative with Eric b Enemy Remember then he 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.920 didn't call the plays in Kansas City? Won't Matt Nage 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:20.000 didn't either. He got a head coaching job. Another offensive 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:23.760 coordinator doesn't call play, he gets a job. Maybe maybe 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.920 that's enough for Aaron Rodgers to go, Hey, I like 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.360 this guy, and I think we got something special there. 0:11:30.600 --> 0:11:34.160 The question is, you can't just sign Aaron Rodgers. You 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:37.360 got a trade for Aaron Rodgers, and I'm sure the 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:43.040 Packers want to send him to the AFC, but we'll 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.640 talk to Tom Pellicero about that. I did watch some 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:50.480 basketball last night. The Phoenix Suns took down the Utah Jazz. 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.880 Donovan Mitchell didn't play in that game, but Devin Booker 0:11:54.960 --> 0:11:57.920 was wonderful to watch. But I'm gonna go back to 0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:02.480 what I said about the Phoenix Suns and Chris. He's 0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:05.040 thirty six years of age. This is a young man's game. 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:08.520 But he had fifteen points in the final twelve minutes. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.480 Phoenix has one eight in a row. But just watching 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:16.679 you know, when you watch intelligence, a lot of times 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:21.160 you can listen to intelligence. When you watch intelligence, it's different. 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.559 And I was watching Intelligence last night with Chris Paul. 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.600 It's just getting from point A to point B and 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:32.520 then what do you do? And he's out. He has 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.520 to outthink you because he doesn't jump through the roof. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:41.600 He's not John Morant, not fast. Maybe quick doesn't jump 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:46.720 on its jumper. But this ability to find his spots, 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.920 and I mentioned this yesterday. He just reminds me of 0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:53.600 that rain drop when it's raining and it goes down 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:56.840 your windshield and you don't know where it's going. But 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:58.920 he does. He knows where he's going, and he's not 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:05.160 moving fast, but he moves efficiently, intelligently. And if you 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.000 ever want to just watch a pure point guard, because 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.959 that's what Chris is, just watch the Phoenix Huns and 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:16.319 watch what he does. Devin Booker's wonderful, wonderful, and he 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:20.559 had forty three last night. But watching watching this kind 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:26.880 of basketball, I love watching smart basketball. Now, there's athleticism, 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:31.160 but there's also That's why when you add intelligence IQ 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.440 to Magic Johnson or Isaiah Thomas or Michael Jordan, then 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:39.080 that's where it's not fair. Where they have athleticism and 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.000 then they have basketball IQ and you go, oh boy, 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.280 and that's what those three had. There's a lot of 0:13:46.320 --> 0:13:49.079 players who have that, the athleticism. Then you throw in 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.760 the IQ, and then that's when you have a very 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.679 very special player. Yes see, we're discussing that they might 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.959 be the rush of basketball. Oh the Suns. It's very Yeah, 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:03.120 it's very smart rebrul Yeah, it's just smart music. You're 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.240 not really sure where the hell this song is going, 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:09.800 but it's gonna eventually end. Okay, So Chris Paul like 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.840 Getty Lee, Getty Lee like not the classic front man. 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.560 Uh not, you know, easy on the eyes is like 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.800 not Gavin Rossdale. Devin Booker might be the m hm. 0:14:21.760 --> 0:14:25.800 Who's the drummer? Neil Neil Neil par Parrot might be 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:30.040 the Neil Parrot late Neil Parrot. Piert Pierrot, Piert, I 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:33.360 always have the rush Piers who correct me, It's not purred, 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:39.600 it's Pierred, Okay, Piert Piered. Um. So the Phoenix suns 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.040 are the rush of bounce. We're work shopping it a 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:52.880 little undercovered, underrespected. M hmm, it's new no, no, no 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.760 one is we If Greeney takes this one, get up, 0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:58.680 then I'll know. I was just thinking, you know, are 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:03.640 the Milwaukee Bucks the stick? By the way, did you 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:09.480 see who beat the Milwaukee Bucks last night? Hello Cleveland Cavaliers, 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.440 Let's go. Yes, you are so early on this. I 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:18.240 am plenty of seeds still available. Darius Garland playing well, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:23.440 Evan Mobley they got They're a fun team. Kevin Love 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:26.440 coming off the bench. I have to be the only 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:31.320 member of the media who watches the Cleveland Cavaliers other 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.920 than those who have to watch. I get to watch 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:36.480 the Cleveland Cavaliers at night. Yes, hunt, but not to 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.120 disrespect the Cavaliers. Is that just another example of how 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.400 it's all about the playoffs, overlooking teams not necessarily giving 0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:45.840 it your full hundred percent shot, Or am I disrespecting Cleveland? 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.880 It doesn't matter to me. Like the Bucks did try 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.200 to win, I don't think they went. You know, let's 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.840 let the cute little Cavaliers get a win here. They 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:58.840 may not have played with playoff intensity, but the Cavaliers 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.880 won the game. They beat him. Yeah, your calves are 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.800 the three seed, the Nets and the Bucks are five 0:16:04.880 --> 0:16:09.800 seed six or the sixth seed.

Get his thoughts on the breaking news, 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:19.440 the story that he broke about Nathaniel Hackett joining the 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.960 Broncos as their head coach coaching, what that means for 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.840 Aaron Rodgers And are we just waiting for Sean Payton 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:29.680 to join the Cowboys or maybe it's too obvious? Tom 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:31.800 will join is coming up next phone calls as well. 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:34.080 We settled on our poll question back after this and 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:39.120 the Dan Patrick Show, the Tunnel Towers Foundation broke ground 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.920 on the do Good Village in landa Lakes, Florida.

I was 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:10.840 watching the Suns and the Jazz. I watched my Cavs 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.200 the Bucks. I watched Luca don Chick. He had another 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.480 triple double as the MAVs beat the Blazers. So watching 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:21.440 a lot of NBA last night. Tried to watch some 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.960 college basketball. I watched a little bit of Xavier and Providence. 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:30.360 It's just tough. There's no magic with college basketball. Where 0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:34.200 you go. I gotta see this guy. There's some good players, 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.480 and you know, I want to be fair to them. 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.600 It's just there's not that guy or those guys or 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.639 that team where you go.

In the last hour yesterday, we 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.960 had a caller who was on hold for probably close 0:19:13.040 --> 0:19:19.400 to ninety minutes. Jason and Phoenix. Jason was snoring really deeply. 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.159 I checked in with him a couple of times and 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.520 he was still snoring. He had fallen asleep. See do 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:35.840 we have any sound of Jason from Phoenix snoring? Jason 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:54.119 and Phoenix joins us on the show. Hi, Jason, Jason, Jason, Well, 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.560 I thought he was available. He will be, He will be. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.280 You just have to give me a minute. I thought 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:05.200 we were being punked. Yeah I did too. All right, Well, 0:20:05.320 --> 0:20:08.280 let's see if we can get Jason on the show 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:11.000 and we will get to your phone calls. We are 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:15.000 having technical issues here, so this is on us here. Yes, well, 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.520 it was only right if Jason fell asleep yesterday, then 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.880 we'll fall asleep today. Yeah, all right, Ross Tucker, he'll 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.679 join us coming up next hour. Got some football to 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.359 talk to him about. Tom Palisero the NFL Network will 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.080 join us coming up as well. He'll join us in 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:33.760 a couple of minutes. Here. There's mixed reports on James 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:37.200 Harden Could he be traded? Ben Simmons? Could he be traded? 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:39.880 I don't think either is traded at the trade deadline. 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.840 Feels like the seventy Sixers gonna wait till the off 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:48.720 season for James Harden, and feels like Ben Simmons is 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:50.680 going to be traded in the off season as well. 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.960 The seventy sixers, you know, feels like they'll try to 0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.359 make that choice decision to go after James Harden because 0:20:57.440 --> 0:21:01.000 Daryl Morey loves James Harden, and I think they were 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.880 pretty firm and looking at Ben Simmons and saying Ben 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.160 is not going to play for this team this year. Yeah. 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:09.800 I was reading the stories and watching the cover yesterday 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.840 to James Harden. Does he want to be traded and 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.680 the Nets don't want to trade him? Is that kind 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:19.760 of the feel um? I don't know if that's the 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.359 I don't know because I don't know. I don't have 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.439 a source on this. He made it sound yesterday like 0:21:24.560 --> 0:21:27.919 he wanted to be elsewhere. Didn't he fight hard to 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.399 get to the Nets, basically quitting on the Rockets and 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:33.160 you know, the Nets game everything he wanted to get there. 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:35.720 I don't know if he wants to put up with 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:38.359 what goes on in Brooklyn. You know, Kyrie is sort 0:21:38.359 --> 0:21:42.399 of here. You know, Duran's hurt now. I think what 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.600 they thought it was going to be is not as 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:49.159 enjoyable as it is right now. And Harden has played well. 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:52.520 But if you're Joe l Embiid, do you go man? 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.080 Can't wait to have a ball hauled like James Harden 0:21:55.240 --> 0:22:00.400 joined me embiad should be the leading candidate for MVP year. 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:02.520 I don't know if he's going. Man, you know what, 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:05.600 I'd love a guy who loves to have the basketball. 0:22:06.440 --> 0:22:09.359 But Ben Simmons, does he go to the nets? Do 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.440 you trade him to the NTS? Is there anybody else 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:14.560 who's interested in him? I mean they're trying. It's just 0:22:15.480 --> 0:22:19.160 I don't I wouldn't want him, as as talented as 0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:20.960 he is. I want to know if he wants to play. 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.720 Stephen A. Smith brought up something on First Take yesterday 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.159 about Kobe Bryant, and he was just talking about Kobe 0:22:27.160 --> 0:22:30.800 and what that Kobe wanted to play, he didn't want 0:22:30.800 --> 0:22:33.760 to sit out coming back from injury. And look, not 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.480 everybody's wired the way Kobe is. But we make it 0:22:36.520 --> 0:22:39.440 seem like, well that was a different generation. There's only 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.760 six years ago that Kobe stopped playing basketball. I mean 0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:49.480 load management and do you want to play? I mean 0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.720 that's what I want. I want somebody who wants to play, 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.360 wants to go after it. It means something to them 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:00.960 that's really important. And you know, I see enough of 0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:05.360 these players like John Wall doesn't play. John Wall warms up, 0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:10.720 John Wall makes forty two million dollars, John Wall doesn't 0:23:10.720 --> 0:23:13.440 want to play. I don't think. And now they're talking about, Hey, 0:23:13.520 --> 0:23:17.120 John Wall for Russell Westbrook. Boy, that'll solve everything if 0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:19.840 you're the Lakers. All right, we'll get to phone calls 0:23:19.840 --> 0:23:23.320 coming up. Tom Pellisero has been a busy guy NFL insider. 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:26.800 You can follow him on Twitter at Tom Pelisero.

Tom, thanks for joining us. 0:23:44.760 --> 0:23:48.240 Who is Nathaniel Hackett and why did he get this job? 0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:53.960 Nathaniel Hackett, Dan is a fascinating. Guy's forty two years old. 0:23:54.640 --> 0:23:57.320 He's been a longtime coach, going all the way back 0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:01.400 to his days in Buffalo with the Bills, Syracuse down 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.360 in Jacksonville, where I was in attendance at Hinesfield after 0:24:04.359 --> 0:24:07.560 the twenty seventeen season when the Jaguars with Blake Bortles 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:10.399 at quarterback, put up forty five points on Pittsburgh to 0:24:10.440 --> 0:24:14.119 go to the AFC Championship Game. He ended up getting 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:16.600 dismissed there the following year amidst a whole bunch of 0:24:16.600 --> 0:24:19.840 injuries on offense, but landed in Green Bay with Matt 0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:23.640 Lafleur and Aaron Rodgers and has really flourished in his role. 0:24:23.680 --> 0:24:27.760 He's pasted several years. He's a unique individual in terms 0:24:27.880 --> 0:24:32.560 of the way that he presents. He is very into technology, 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.760 he's into analytics, he's into pop culture. He finds different 0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:38.520
