Also listening 6 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: to our great radio affiliates around the country, number three 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty two Chat row good morning, and we'll 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: get to emails. We'll get to phone calls and also 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: tweets coming up as well. Eight seven seven three DP 10 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: show the news this morning that broke Connecticut's football program 11 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: will not be playing this year, and it felt like 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: there's sort of a team without a conference. Therefore, they're 13 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: really vulnerable to what the other conferences were going to do, 14 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: were they're going to play out of conference games and 15 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: if you have a couple of games against the ACC, 16 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 1: the ACC is going to be conference only, and Connecticut 17 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: decided to shut down their football program. Also, travel restrictions 18 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 1: being quarantine when you go into Connecticut. I think you're 19 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: going to hear something out of the Big Ten involving Rutgers, 20 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: maybe some of these other programs. I think it's a 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: really tenuous situation right now. This is where we've said, well, 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,120 Speaker 1: football's got time. Football does not have time anymore. The 23 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: NFL has a little bit of time, and it feels 24 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: like what they're doing because it's a professional level, and 25 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: you're saying to your players without going on a campus 26 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: where there's other students there, you must be diligent, you 27 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: must police one another. And the NFL it is probably 28 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: going to start on time. College football may start. I 29 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: just don't see how it finishes. And I'm basing this 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 1: off two sources. One I spoke to yesterday and he's 31 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: the one that said, you know, Rutgers situations a mess 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: right now because the travel restrictions, and then you have 33 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: the number of positive tests and you're just getting ready 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: to start, you know, really buckling down and getting ready 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: for the opening game of the season. The SEC might 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: play football. I thought this all along, you know, everybody 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: was all in it together, and then it was the 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: Power five conferences. We're in it together. And now it 39 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: feels like it's every conference for themselves. And I think 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: that the SEC, and I felt this all along. The 41 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: SEC is gonna be, hey, we're gonna play football. Whether 42 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: anybody else does, We're playing football. The big ten released 43 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: its schedule and you're basically looking at conference games. That's it. 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: And they're trying to move the schedule up a little 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: bit by a week or so, still trying to play 46 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: a Big ten title game. McLevin, did we find out 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 1: from the NCAA are they still planning on having a 48 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: final four in a national title game this year? Well? 49 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: I think they are making announcement today, but yes, of now, yes, 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: there's no plans it canceled. I think it's in Miami 51 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: this year. Okay, all right, poll question, what do we have? 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: It's a real close one. NaN's a nail biter. If 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: you could sign one of these two players to a 54 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: seven year extension, Zion Williamson or Luca dontchis, who would 55 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: it be? Eight? Goo in Luca right now? But it's 56 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: early in the show. Well, there's the injury factor here, 57 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: and Luca is more of a finished product than Zion is. 58 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know if Zion can get to the 59 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: point where he is a good ball handler. He can 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: beat you off the dribble, he can have a respectable 61 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: outside shot. We know that he's a powerful he's like 62 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: a velvet hammer, like there is grace to him, but 63 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: he is going to overpower you. But Luca is the 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: right answer. Luca put up thirty four twenty and twelve 65 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: and I didn't even know that he was putting up 66 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: thirty four twenty and twelve. It was that effortless and 67 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,279 Speaker 1: they picked up the wind. They needed overtime to beat Sacramento. 68 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: There was a lot of interesting basketball yesterday. I didn't 69 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 1: get to watch it. There was a power outage on 70 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: the East coast. In fact, most of us are still 71 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: without powered home. But Carmelo Anthony came through in the clutch. 72 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Devin Booker with his sons came through in the clutch. 73 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: You know, I'm starting to wonder, you know, where you 74 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: see these teams and is Portland going to get in? 75 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: If Portland gets in, Portland will be a tough out. 76 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: You know, they would be facing the Lakers. Lakers have 77 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City tonight. At what point do you rest your 78 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: players or does it make more sense to get them 79 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more in shape game ready. And that's 80 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 1: what I would wonder with Lebron and Anthony Davis, And 81 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: that's going to be the decision for Frank Vogel. How 82 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: much do you play them against Oklahoma City, you've clinched 83 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: the number one seed in the West. And also understand 84 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: this that the Lakers will have the least amount of 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: time to prepare for their opening round opponent because they're 86 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 1: probably not going to know until the last game of 87 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: the regular season. Now you might go, well, they're going 88 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: to be better than anybody they face if they face 89 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: Portland Portland, and you can say, well, we know how 90 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: to match up against them. Portland's going to come in. 91 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: The last thing you want to do is you've already 92 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: clinched and you're waiting for somebody, because that team that's 93 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: had to struggle every single night just to get in 94 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: is more playoff ready than you are. Now, that probably 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: won't factor in over a seven game series or five 96 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: game series, three game series, but it will factor in 97 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 1: certainly that opening game where they're ready and you have 98 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: to get ramp you have to ramp back up. Yeah, 99 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,480 Speaker 1: Paul I hesitated to even touch on this topic, But 100 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: you imagine the coverage and the fallout at the Lakers 101 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: lost in the first No, we can't even get I 102 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: was just thinking about that. That's what we do for 103 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: a living. I can't imagine the la and more so 104 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: actually the national reaction than the LA reaction. Well, and 105 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: if the Clippers would happen to go on and win two, 106 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yeah, but the Clippers lost last night 107 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: to the Phoenix Suns. Devin Booker hit the game winner. 108 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: Phoenix Suns undefeated in the bubble. They're fun team to watch, 109 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: but I don't know what, you know, they need some 110 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: things there, but they have some things in place, like 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: watching Dallas. Dallas beating Sacramento. Luca was great. Porzingis is 112 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: really good. I mean, they're they're starting what could turn 113 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 1: out to be an unbelievable tandem. We look back in history, 114 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: that used to be you could have a big three, 115 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: you had three players, and then now it's two because 116 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: can you afford to have three big personalities, big paychecks 117 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: on there and you have, you know, a big, you know, 118 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: great tandem here. The possibility with Porzingis and Luca could 119 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: be one of those that we look back on. Luca 120 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:37,360 Speaker 1: has sixteen triple doubles this season, most in the NBA. 121 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 1: Lebron and Nicola Jokitcher tied for second with thirteen. Nobody 122 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: else has ten triple doubles so far this season. Yes, mcclevin. 123 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: Oh that's uh. You mentioned jokers? Another guy with big 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,839 Speaker 1: empty stats? Wow? Wow? Wow? Who is good in your world? 125 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: Is that a European thing to have huge regular seat 126 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: sasons and bow out in the first round? Wow? Yeah? 127 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: I last I look, man, who Jenoble and Tony Parker 128 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: did pretty well when they got to the postseason. Yeah, 129 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: but for every one of those there's a joker. And okay, 130 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: who who are your top players? Then? Who fits your criteria? 131 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: Because you said to me this Lebron James. Okay, aside 132 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: from Lebron, if I remove Lebron because you said Luca's 133 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: a ball honk just like James Harden, I didn't call 134 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: him a ball hog. Oh my god, do I have 135 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: any witness from the congregation here? Said Harden. He just 136 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: gets to the line like twenty five times a game. 137 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 1: He's shooting like eighteen free throws a game. You've called 138 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: him a ball honk before. Okay, So there's in my opinion, 139 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: there's three elite players and everyone. There's a cliff off 140 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: after that. Four a drop off. Okay, five, I think 141 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Durant is there. I've never heard cliff off before, but 142 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: I think it's Lebron, Durant, Curry, Jannis and Kauai, maybe 143 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: Fred van Vliet. But the guys who shoot like fifty 144 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: percent from the field, that's like the key. You gotta 145 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: hit all your shots, Like Lebron is so good, okay, 146 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: not guys like Harden and Westbrook who score a time 147 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: but shooting. Okay. So you've got Lebron Kawai who doesn't play, 148 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, all the games in the regular season, but 149 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: that's who you want. Jannis Yannis okay, and Duran and 150 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 1: Curry when they're Duran and Curry when they're healthy. Okay. 151 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: If you don't want to put Luca in that category. Also, 152 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: he's young, obviously, Like I'm sure it's fair. Yet, Yeah, 153 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: I don't think Luca. Is Luca ready to take that 154 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: next up already, but he's He's in the top ten. 155 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is in there, Luca's in there. Sorry, I 156 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: gotta add it. Anthony Davis is great. But yeah, I'm look, 157 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to push Luca into a category that 158 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: he may not belong yet. I'm just saying what he's 159 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: doing at this age. You can go down through history, 160 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: it'd be you're hard pressed to find somebody who's doing 161 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 1: this on a night in, night out basis. Now you 162 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: might say, boy, he's a ballhog. Okay, what other ballhogs 163 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: are putting up thirty four, twenty and twelve and their 164 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: team is right now the fourth seed in the West. 165 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: It's pretty it's respectable. Those are Those are pretty good numbers, 166 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: no matter who's turning him in, those are pretty good numbers. Yeah, 167 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,319 Speaker 1: I'm a club. But Russell Westbrook when he won the 168 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 1: MVP for the triple double, did he really deserve the 169 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: MVP that year? He's just put up a lot of 170 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: number Yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's a sort of so numbers 171 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: an't always equal success. There's sort of a balance. But 172 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: I think Russell Westbrook knew if I average a triple double, 173 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: the fact that it hadn't been done since what nineteen 174 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: sixty two, I got a chance to win the MVP. Now, 175 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: he's never going to win an MVP again. But that 176 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: season and he averaged a triple double the next season, 177 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: didn't he It's like Harden understands, Hey, I might win 178 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: an MVP. Maybe I I'm not going to win another one. 179 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: Is Durant going to win another MVP? Is Steph Curry 180 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: gonna win another MVP. Greek Freak is gonna win one 181 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: this year. He'll be the favorite next year. I think 182 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: Lucas gonna win an MVP. And we were talking about 183 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: Zion Williamson, And you know, as much as I love 184 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,679 Speaker 1: watching Zion, he's not a finished product. I don't know 185 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: what he'll be and you have to give him the 186 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt of his age. But I just 187 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: wonder what's his size gonna be like and how does 188 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: he play in accordance to his size. Is he going 189 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: to remain explosive for the next ten years? Is he 190 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: gonna steer clear of injury? I mean, Luca's gotten hurt before, 191 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: but Zion, you know, you got to you gotta factor 192 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: that in every night when I'm he goes out there, 193 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of watch him play and there's 194 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 1: so much physicality to him that he giveth, but he 195 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: also taketh too. Yeah, po, there are only five guys 196 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 1: in the NBA this year that average more than twenty 197 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: shots per game, Bradley Beal, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Trey 198 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: Young and Luca don Chick. And you can make the 199 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: case that all those teams are going nowhere until those guys. Yeah, share, 200 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: then the next tier if you go down a little bit. 201 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard averages nineteen shots a game, Lebron James nineteen, 202 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: so on and so forth. How good do you think 203 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: the Clippers would be if Luca was on there instead 204 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: of Kawhi Leonard. I'm gonna guess they'd still be really good. 205 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: If I put Kawhi on the MAVs. MAVs aren't in 206 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: the fourth spot because Kawhi doesn't play all the games 207 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: during the regular season. So as valuable as Kawhi is, 208 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: if Kawhi didn't win the title last year in Toronto, 209 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: he's not a top five player in people's minds. But hey, 210 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: you've got two titles. Okay. I can't argue with what 211 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: he does when he gets into the postseason, But if 212 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: he doesn't win last year, he's not a top five 213 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: player in people's minds. Yeah, if Luca's on the Clippers, 214 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: aren't the Clippers just MAV's all over again. Basically, the 215 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: Clippers have the deepest roster of any team in the NBA. Yeah, 216 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: they got a great coach, not that Rick Carlisle's not, 217 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: but you've got a great coach, great owner and a 218 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: deep roster there, and the Clippers with Luca would be great. 219 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: They would still be great. Paul George is how I 220 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 1: haven't heard much about him at the bubble. Is he 221 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: Paul George is? I think under a lot of pressure here, 222 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: you know, because I got pressure on Anthony Davis and 223 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: Paul George to step up. Lebron's done it, Kawhi has 224 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: done it. Now their teammates need to do it on 225 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 1: a consistent basis, and Anthony Davis he has pressure on him. 226 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 1: I know this is Lebron's team, but Lebron knows if 227 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is great, they're gonna win the title. I 228 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: don't know if Kawhi goes, if Paul George is great, 229 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: we're going to win the title. But I'm sure he'd 230 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: feel a whole lot more confident than he does. Know. 231 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: But you expect Paul George, if he's a top fifteen player, 232 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: that he should be great, and I don't think that 233 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: we include him in that category. Yeah, McLeman, I got 234 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: my argument. Luca has a play defense. I'm assuming I 235 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: have no idea, but no, true he does. None of 236 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: He's at Zion has never played a lick of defense. No, 237 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: Zion doesn't play any defense. He gets every every other 238 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: week he gets an unbelievable block shot and people think 239 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: he's a great defender. And my guy Jared Jackson Junior, 240 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: the third done for the season with a knee injury. 241 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: He's been playing great. He's my guy. Well, I'm stuck 242 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 1: with him. I said that he'd be the best player 243 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: out of that draft that included Luca and Drey Young. 244 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: That's all right, It's not bad, you know, It's not 245 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: like I said. Hey, Mitchell Trubisky is going to be 246 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: a better quarterback than Patrick Mahomes or Deshaun Watson. Is 247 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback for the Buccaneers. Is that your boy? 248 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 1: Blaine Gabber? Yeah, I think you see the video of him. 249 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: That dude is shocked. I thought it was the tight 250 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: end Brady was throwing the ball to. No way blame 251 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: Gabert's looking good. I don't know if he's look like physically, 252 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: he's looking good if he wins a Super Bowl and 253 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: is he on the team winning a super Bowl? Hey, 254 00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 1: he has to play in the super Bowl. He has 255 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: to play at least one quarter in the Super Bowl. 256 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: How bad? Like as a holder and they kick off. 257 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: The NFL released its official new rules for player conduct 258 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: this coming season, and they're trying to learn from these 259 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 1: other leagues. They want to keep everybody as safe as possible. 260 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: That means players will be fined or suspended if they 261 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: don't follow the guidelines. So you can't go into the 262 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: clubs with over ten people in them, no concerts, no 263 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: house parties. You can go to church. But the NFL 264 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: starting the season on time and trying to complete it. 265 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: You know, they have to have their schedule f exibility 266 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: in the first month of the season just in case. 267 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: But then there's the team by team problem. What if 268 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,120 Speaker 1: one team has multiple positives? Here? Can you field a 269 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: team competitively for a Sunday game or a Thursday game? 270 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 1: Just like every sport, is going to be tricky and 271 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: we hope for the best. And Mike Floria from Pro 272 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: Football Talk will join us coming up.

How many times do 317 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: those people in Hollywood here this imagine if you're an actor, 318 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: famous actor or director, producer. You're always hearing Hey, I 319 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: got an idea. Yeah, yeah, Paul. We had the great 320 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: director writer John Apatan about two months ago and he 321 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: says it happens all the time. And remember you said 322 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: he should make people come up on when he's doing 323 00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: stand up and say, okay, yeah, pitch me right here.

Some of the 361 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,679 Speaker 1: recent NBA grades won the MVP only wants Shack and 362 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: Kobe one each, Likewise for Allen Iverson and Kevin Durant. 363 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 1: I also heard this yesterday with Jimmy Garoppolo and Jimmy Garoppolo, 364 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: the Niners quarterback, was asked about the Tom Brady rumors 365 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 1: that the forty nine ers were interested in Jimmy Garoppolo 366 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: And here is Jimmy G. And when all that was 367 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: going on, you know, you hear about it and things 368 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: like that, but I really wasn't too worried. I'm always 369 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 1: confident in my play and you know, I know what 370 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: I put out there this season and everything like that. 371 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 1: So it's all about being confident, and you know, that's 372 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: just part of the business. I've seen both sides of it, 373 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: so I've been there. Let's bring in Mike Florio, pro 374 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 1: football talk co host. If you're Jimmy G, would you 375 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 1: be worried that? Okay, they did a drive by with Brady, 376 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: but what's going to stop them from doing that again 377 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: with maybe another quarterback at some point here. Yeah, Dan, 378 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: I mean the good news is he won the face 379 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: off with Tom Brady. Brady was interested in the forty 380 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: ninety nine has evaluated Brady. They decided to stick with 381 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 1: Jimmy g But it's the shot across the bout. They're 382 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: at the stage in the Garoppolo contract where they can 383 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: walk away with minimal salary cap pain, minimal guaranteed money, 384 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 1: and go on to someone else. And even though he 385 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: played well in the super Bowl, now there was a 386 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: Championship throw opportunity late in the game to Emmanuel Sanders 387 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: and he flat out and missed him. But in the 388 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 1: NFC Championship game, he was Bob Greasy. He had everything 389 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: but the big giant glasses Greasy used to wear. He 390 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: threw like six passes against the Packers. They don't need 391 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: him to make that offense work. And if he doesn't 392 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: step up to a higher level, they can look at 393 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: how much they're paying him and they can say, you 394 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: know what, we can find somebody cheaper who can learn 395 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: this offense, run this offense, and they'll be every bit 396 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: as effective as they are because they have a great 397 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 1: defense and they have a phenomenal running game. I'm trying 398 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: to understand what's going on in Green Bay, and I'm 399 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: sure I'm not alone here, but it seems like there's 400 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,640 Speaker 1: mixed messages that they went up to draft Jordan Love. 401 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: But then you have coaching staff that's trying to placate 402 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and saying, hey, it's still your team here. 403 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: I feel it's more of Aaron Jones's team than it 404 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers. And that's the thing. No matter what 405 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: any of us say about what's going on in green Bay, 406 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:24,679 Speaker 1: they invited this distraction by trading up in round one 407 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: to draft Jordan Love. This is a far cry from 408 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: two thousand and five, when Brett Farb had been talking 409 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 1: about retirement for several years and the best quarterback on 410 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: the board slid all the way down into the twenties, 411 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: and the Packers decided, hey, we may as well take 412 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We don't all when Brett's gonna leave. This 413 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: is not a reach, but this is an affirmative move 414 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: to go out and get the replacement for Aaron Rodgers. 415 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: He should be upset. We've seen a little flashes of it. 416 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: We've heard things via Brett Farb that Aaron Rodgers had 417 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: said to him, suggesting he wasn't happy about this. How 418 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: can you be happy? You're thirteen and three, you almost 419 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: make it to the Super Bowl, you're a few pieces away, 420 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: and they go and draft your eventual replacement and then 421 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 1: try to make it look like it's no big deal. 422 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: Of course it's a big deal, and of course it's 423 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: going to hover over the Packers until Jordan Love is 424 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: gone or Aaron Rodgers is gone. Matthew Stafford had the 425 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 1: false positive. His wife was very upset that the information 426 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 1: got out there. But what would happen during the regular 427 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: season if Matthew Stafford had a false positive? Here? I mean, 428 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: we have to like a Friday, and you're going to 429 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: play a game on Sunday or whenever. They're going to 430 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: test them during the week, because we're gonna have these 431 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: situations coming up. I think, Mike, Oh, you have to 432 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,679 Speaker 1: be ready for it. Dan. And that's the thing, you know, 433 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 1: football fans worry about all sorts of things. Now your 434 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: worries go into when the hey is otherwise in the barn, 435 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 1: the practices are over, there's no concern about a guy 436 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,240 Speaker 1: getting injured. Well, now, wait a minute, Friday night Saturday morning, 437 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, Saturday night. You're waiting. You're waiting, Well, you're 438 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: waiting for the news that the player is positive. And 439 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: then there's the chance you find out after the fact 440 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,679 Speaker 1: and it was indeed a false positive. What are they 441 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: going to do? How do they determine whether it's a 442 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: false positive before game time? You know, it reminds me 443 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: of the concussion protocol. Well, you never see a great 444 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: player taken out of a big game and a key 445 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: moment because they don't want to keep the player off 446 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 1: the field for ten minutes of real time while they 447 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: determine he doesn't have a concussion. Well, that ship is 448 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: sailed when it comes to COVID nineteen. If you're positive, 449 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 1: if you're out, even if it turns out to be 450 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: a false positive later, you weren't allowed to play in 451 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: the game. And that is going to constantly hover, just 452 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: like the possibility of false negatives, which I think is 453 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: an even bigger problem. You have guys who truly have 454 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: the virus, the test comebacks that comes back negative. He's 455 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: out there on the field at practice or at games, 456 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: shedding the virus on other people and their COEs. An outbreak. 457 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,959 Speaker 1: So this whole concept of false positives false negatives a 458 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,919 Speaker 1: big concern for the NFL, and with the number of 459 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: guys who are being tested, it's going to happen. Who 460 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: will decide if you can have fans in the stands 461 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: with the NFL, from the commissioner to governors to teams 462 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: state by state house that work state by state, county 463 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: by county, city by city whatever is permitted. Now you 464 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 1: don't even get to the point where you have a 465 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 1: conversation about how many fans you're going to try to 466 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: put in the stands if your locality won't allow it. 467 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: And Dan, I think for the most part, it's going 468 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: to be hard to justify anyone having fans. And if 469 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 1: they do, what's it going to be? Twenty percent? I 470 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: think that's the capacity the New England Patriots are considering. 471 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't even know if it's enough people for it 472 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: to be a home field advantage at that point, So 473 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: we're not talking about much, but it is a team 474 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,440 Speaker 1: by team decision that is driven by what the local 475 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 1: governments will allow. And I get the feeling, if it 476 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: was right now, we're not going to see many fans. 477 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: The Las Vegas raters have already said, they're not gonna 478 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: have any fans all year long. But I wonder we've 479 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: seen with NASCAR where they have some social distancing there. 480 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: You may not have it once you're in the stadium, 481 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 1: but it feels like you could have social distancing in 482 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: some of these like Texas if you say, or Arizona 483 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and you go, hey, we're going to put in twenty 484 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: thousand people in here. Yeah, Texas and Arizona are two 485 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: of the worst. Oh, I know right now. That's the thing. 486 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: It's all what you will tolerate. Right there's the portion 487 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 1: of the country that takes it very seriously, and then 488 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 1: there's the portion it's like, Ah, what the hell, it's 489 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,840 Speaker 1: no big deal, it's just the flu. And I feel 490 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: like of all the sports, the NFL is at the 491 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: end of the spectrum that takes it very, very, very seriously, 492 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 1: and I think that makes it harder to justify putting 493 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,400 Speaker 1: a bunch of people into the stands. He's Mike Florio. 494 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 1: He is the co host of Pro Football Live with 495 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 1: Chris Simms. You also have the opt out decision that 496 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,120 Speaker 1: the deadline is tomorrow here, you know, we're always playing 497 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: angles here. It feels like the agents are using this 498 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: is leverage. They're players using this is leverage. But you 499 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 1: start to look at some of these teams, certainly the Patriots. Here, 500 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: where do you stand with the opt out of you 501 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 1: know what is real and what is not real in 502 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,400 Speaker 1: a situation like this, And how can you even tell 503 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: if you're the NFL or a team and go are 504 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 1: you really nervous about COVID or do you really need 505 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: to sit out this season because you're going to be 506 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: getting paid for not doing anything well? And didn't you 507 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: hear that the Patriots? This is all a Bill Belichick. 508 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:23,919 Speaker 1: I don't know what the end game is, Dad, but 509 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: he's up to something, because he's always up to something. Look, 510 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,440 Speaker 1: there are two types of optats. There's the one hundred 511 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand dollars stipend, no questions asked. You owe 512 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 1: the money back next year. If you don't make the 513 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: team next year, they can, in theory, chase you around 514 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 1: and collect it. That's for the guy who just doesn't 515 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,239 Speaker 1: feel comfortable. Then there's the guy who falls into one 516 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: of the risk categories, a proven health condition. He gets 517 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,600 Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty thousand dollars that never gets paid back. 518 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: It's not a salary advance. It's not a debt to 519 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: the team. That is the benefit that the NFL has 520 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: given the players if you truly have a health condition 521 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: that falls into categories that justify being concerned about getting 522 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen. It's an intensely personal decision, and yes, it 523 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 1: can be used by some players as leverage to say, hey, 524 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: if you don't give me that contract I want, I'm 525 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 1: going to opt out. You run the risk of the 526 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: team saying go ahead and opt out. We're going to 527 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: call your bluff. And then you go a full year 528 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 1: with no compensation other than one hundred and fifty thousand 529 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: dollars or three fifty and then you come back next 530 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: year and your contract is still in place. All it 531 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: does is pressed calls on your career for a full year. 532 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: You still have that same contract that you don't like 533 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: next year, but the threat of not being available at 534 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: all for the entire season, maybe that makes a difference. 535 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,880 Speaker 1: Maybe that gets a deal done. But the NFL wanted 536 00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: that window closed. They don't like this being held over 537 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: their heads. They want the guys to make a decision. 538 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: And Dan I personally wish that there would be a 539 00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: small window for players to revisit their decision after padded 540 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 1: practices begin and they can see how they feel out 541 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: there among other players and after games begin. It's one 542 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: to feel safe in your cocoon at your practice facility, 543 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: but when you're out there for three hours across from 544 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: somebody who's breathing and sweating and spitting and coughing on 545 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: you for three hours, you may feel differently about your decision. 546 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: So I wish that they had more of the flexibility 547 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 1: like baseball has to say. You know what, I tried it. 548 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: I'm just not comfortable. Do you really want me here? 549 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: If I'm not comfortable, I'm out. How is the NFL 550 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 1: going to police these players when they leave the facility? 551 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: I know they're talking about fines, I guess and suspensions here, 552 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: but do we know what that sliding scale is of 553 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: what is a fineable and what is a suspendable offense? Well, 554 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing. We're all walking around with 555 00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: these things, right. So if there's a guy who's out 556 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: somewhere that he shouldn't be, all it takes is one 557 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: person to record it and put it on social media, 558 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: and you've got the smoking gun evidence that the guy 559 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: is breaking protocol. I think the bigger problem than players 560 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: doing things they shouldn't do is just this simple reality 561 00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,160 Speaker 1: when they go home at night, there's going to be 562 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: other human being in their apartment, in their house that 563 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: have been out and about doing things, especially if kids 564 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 1: are in school or the spouse is out at the store. 565 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: You can pick it up anywhere, and then that's a 566 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: pathway for the player to get the virus, bring it 567 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: to the facility, and there's that twenty four hour lag 568 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: between test collection and test result where you can be 569 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: positive in the facility, on the practice field in a game, 570 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: passing the virus along, that's going to be the real concern. 571 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: And dan something the Saints are doing for training camp 572 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: that isn't mandatory. It's voluntary, just like voluntary workouts. Everybody's 573 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: staying in a hotel. And I wonder if teams are 574 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: going to set up that harder bubble into the regular 575 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: season where hey, it's not mandatory, but you know what, 576 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: the coaches are doing it, The GM is doing it, 577 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks doing it, the veteran leaders are doing it. 578 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: If you hey, hey, it's up to you. It's purely voluntary, 579 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: but everybody else is doing it. What are you going 580 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 1: to do? That may be the best way to draw 581 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: a circle around the team and avoid players doing things 582 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: they shouldn't do, and also avoid players going home and 583 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 1: catching the virus from somebody else in their family. I 584 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: know you also work for NBC, so maybe this isn't 585 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: fair to ask you, But Drew Brees didn't exactly close 586 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: the book on not playing next season, and I know 587 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,560 Speaker 1: he's got a contract or a deal in place with 588 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: NBC to work on Football Night in America. Mike Florio, 589 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: what do you know about Drew Brees maybe putting off 590 00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: his TV career. They only wake me up for the 591 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: unimportant meeting, Dan, I don't know a damn thing, and 592 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 1: I like it that way, right. Look, it's a given 593 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,760 Speaker 1: that this is it for Drew Brees, and I think 594 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,400 Speaker 1: whether it's Drew Brees choosing to move on or the 595 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: Saints choosing to move on, I think that this is it. 596 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: And Sean Payton kind of let the cat out of 597 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: the bag earlier this year and then kind of had 598 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: to walk it back. It's a given this is it. 599 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: Next year they're going to find out what they have 600 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: in Taysom Hill or maybe Jamis Winston if he ends 601 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 1: up playing multiple games this year and playing really well. 602 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: But I think Sean Payton's ready to move on. Look, 603 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: Drew Brees does not have the deep ball that he 604 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,520 Speaker 1: used to have, not that he ever had a great one, 605 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: but when you take that out of a guy's arsenal 606 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: and he can't back a defense off by throwing the 607 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: ball forty yards down the field, it makes it very 608 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 1: hard to play at a high level. And I think 609 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: the bottom line is that this is it for Drew 610 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: and he could walk off into the sunset with a 611 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship. That's the kind of team they have. 612 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 1: But whether it's NBC, ESPN, ABC, CBS, Fox, or anyone else, 613 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: I have a feeling that's where he is going to 614 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: be next year. Antonio Brown situation, from what I'm told, 615 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: is an ongoing investigation. So the best case scenario is 616 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: he's down for eight games. What else is attached to 617 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: this where Antonio Brown might be down for more than 618 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,360 Speaker 1: eight games. Well, here's what I think they've done. Dan. 619 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: The one thing that isn't resolved is the initial thing 620 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 1: that got him in trouble, the civil lawsuit that was 621 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: filed by a former trainer last September alleging sexual assault 622 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: and Rake. They've investigated it, they haven't been able to 623 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 1: reach a conclusion. So my thought has been, well, hey, 624 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: if you can't prove the guy did it, exonerate him 625 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 1: and move on. But because the civil lawsuit is pending, 626 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: they don't want to get themselves in a spot where 627 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,000 Speaker 1: they say he didn't do anything, and then a jury 628 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: in Florida eventually says, oh, I'm sorry, he did do something. 629 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 1: Then the NFL looks like they were negligent in their investigation. 630 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: I think that's why the investigation still open and the 631 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 1: smart move for Antonio Brown at this point, frankly, the 632 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: smart move would have been to do this more than 633 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: a year ago, settle that lawsuit, make that thing go 634 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: away so it doesn't result in trial testimony in a verdict, 635 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 1: and just further things that would force the NFL to say, 636 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 1: you know what, we have to suspend you for this 637 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: as well. I was critical of the Seahawks because if 638 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna go all in on a safety and you're 639 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: gonna give up two first round pick, why didn't you 640 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: go all in on DeAndre Hopkins? If you said to 641 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: the Texans, we're giving you two first round picks and 642 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: a player for DeAndre Hopkins who helped Seattle more DeAndre 643 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: Hopkins or Jamal Adams. Well, and you could have gotten 644 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,719 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins for a lot less. Yes, what you gave 645 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: up to get Jamal Adams? And look, did the Cardinals 646 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 1: get a new contract with DeAndre Hopkins before the trade? 647 00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: Did the Seahawks get a new contract with Jamal Adams 648 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: afford the trade? I'm troubled by this trend now in 649 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 1: the NFL dan of going all in with multiple first 650 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 1: round picks for a guy who's still on his rookie 651 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: contract and not getting him signed to a new deal. 652 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: We saw what happened to the Texans with Larrmy Tunso. 653 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: It had given sixty six million over three years, twenty 654 00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: two million a year because he had all the leverage 655 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Radams. He has all the leverage with the Rams, 656 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 1: and now Jamal Adams is going to have all the 657 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: leverage with the Seahawks because they've given up so much 658 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: to get him. You get these deals done on the 659 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: way through the door. But you're right, Look, Jamal Adams 660 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: is a key player in their style of defense, and 661 00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: I think they're trying to balance out how much they 662 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,400 Speaker 1: put into the offense how much they put into the defense. 663 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: But you're right for what you give up in trade. 664 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins pick for pick, trade value for trade value, 665 00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,960 Speaker 1: I think is going to bring a lot more to 666 00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 1: the Cardinals than what Jamal Addens is going to bring 667 00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: to the Sea. They don't give Russell Wilson anything to 668 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 1: play with there, Like Tyler Lockett came out of nowhere 669 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 1: from k State and he was more of a return guy. 670 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: He's their go to guy. You know, DK Metcalf may 671 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,839 Speaker 1: turn out to be a really good player. It just 672 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 1: feels like Pete Carroll plays defense and runs the football 673 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: and then says to Russell Wilson, Hey, Russ, can you 674 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: help us out? It's twelve to nine here in the 675 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:46,120 Speaker 1: fourth quarter and Dan, Look, this gets the Seahawks fans 676 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,400 Speaker 1: upset anytime I say it. The Seahawks, I think, are 677 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,920 Speaker 1: getting closer and closer to a reckoning here. They're either 678 00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: going to have to get an offensive coordinator or a 679 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 1: head coach who knows how to get the most out 680 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson, or they're gonna end up with a 681 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: quarterback who wants to continue his career somewhere else. And 682 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 1: I know that that there are people in the league 683 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:10,200 Speaker 1: who believe that Russell Wilson will not go wire to 684 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 1: wire year one to year whatever with the Seahawks. Now 685 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: he wants to play until he's forty five, So you know, 686 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: the longer you go, the more likely you leave. But look, 687 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319 Speaker 1: there's a chance this whole Jamal Adams thing is part 688 00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 1: of pushing the pendulum toward loading up the defense and 689 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: you know, maybe taking your chances on offense with a 690 00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,080 Speaker 1: young quarterback on a rookie contract like they did when 691 00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: they went to back and back Super Bowls. Yeah, I 692 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 1: think we're going to look back in history's going to 693 00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: prove that the Packers were negligent with Aaron Rodgers with 694 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: what they gave him, and the same thing with Seattle. 695 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is every bit as good as Patrick Mahomes. 696 00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:53,120 Speaker 1: The thing is dan when you watch Russell Wilson highlights 697 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 1: one after another after another after another, he never has that. 698 00:36:56,440 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 1: You know, Patrick Mahomes has that kind of hair on 699 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,400 Speaker 1: fire quality where it makes you sit on the edge 700 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,279 Speaker 1: of your seat when you see him running around behind 701 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,919 Speaker 1: it and he does something spectacular. Russell Wilson just does 702 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: the spectacular thing. There's no build up to it, so 703 00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 1: we take it for granted, and maybe the Seahawks take 704 00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,080 Speaker 1: it for granted, but I agree with you. We're going 705 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: to look back at this era and say, how did 706 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:18,640 Speaker 1: they not get enough around this guy who's one of 707 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,279 Speaker 1: the all time great quarterbacks? Nice hair? How's it hanging there? 708 00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 1: You're doing? Okay? It's still mine? Yeah, that's all I 709 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,240 Speaker 1: can ask for it. Fifty five, Dan, it's still mine? 710 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,319 Speaker 1: Are you doing it yourself? What do you mean? Are 711 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 1: you cutting your own hair? No? No, no, I've put 712 00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: the hazmat suit on and go get a cup once 713 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:44,000 Speaker 1: a month. It looks good. It looks it looks flowing. Yes, 714 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,000 Speaker 1: it looks. It looks nice. It looks like you know 715 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: when Russell Wilson had the long hair when he when 716 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,399 Speaker 1: he when he went boy band. Look during super Bowl 717 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: week you kind of have that. Who is the guy 718 00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 1: from Full House? John Stamos? You got a little you 719 00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: got a Stamos? Yeah, the Gael kind of. I don't 720 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 1: know what happens to the gel. It's in and that's out, 721 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,640 Speaker 1: and I it mightn't be the nicest compliment I've ever 722 00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 1: given you, Mike.

Hey, I don't want to take too much 751 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: every time. I just really want to hear your thoughts 752 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:52,320 Speaker 1: on the feasibility of a football bubble. So, for example, 753 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: could you see like a Power five flitting up into 754 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: five different bubbles? You know, the Big ten takes it 755 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 1: to Detroit or Indy, SEC in Atlanta, ACC in Orlando 756 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,959 Speaker 1: or Charlotte. Okay, but this is what you have to understand, Jimmy, 757 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: and thanks for the phone call. You know, the NBA, 758 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: you might have a total of thirty people involved with 759 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: the team. You're gonna have one hundred involved with the 760 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: college football team plus staff. And if I have twelve 761 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:26,000 Speaker 1: teams go into a bubble. You do the math. That's 762 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people in a bubble and you're gonna 763 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,960 Speaker 1: have a lot of people coming and going daily practices there. 764 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:36,240 Speaker 1: It's not feasible, and certainly with this timeframe, it's not feasible. 765 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,440 Speaker 1: Let's see Thomas in Tennessee. Hi, Thomas, what do you 766 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: have for me? Oh? Thank you?

You know, it's a split, 769 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 1: you know, between revenue and safety. It's the catch and 770 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 1: it's hard if you think back the last several years 771 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: with some of the NFL and MLB James, they have 772 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: already been practicing sat this saying just looking at the 773 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: people in the stands, all righty, thank you.
