0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and a poll question from mclovin is forthcoming. Nothing gets

0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>the sports world more excited than a superstar free agent

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 1>on the move. You think back to Lebron the decision

0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to go to Miami shack leaving Orlando, and remember Peyton Manning.

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>We weren't sure where Peyton was going yet, people who

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>were staking out local airports to see if Peyton was

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>coming or going. And then the Greek Freak he had

0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to hit the open market. He would have

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>been in that category, but instead he doesn't care about

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 1>our content, and of course this show is all about content.

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>If he had left, then it's a big deal. He

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>signs the Supermax. He stays in Milwaukee, so we don't

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>get any rumors, no whispers, no I'm hearing source close

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>to me says he wasn't looking at mansions in Beverly

0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Hills or condos South Beach. Nope, He's staying in Milwaukee.

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>So now the topic becomes can they do enough to

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>win a title there. He's going to be there for

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>five years. He'll be thirty one when this contract ends,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>plenty of time to get another Max contract. But the

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Bucks haven't been able to find the right formula for

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the Greek free But they've signed him up and it's

0:02:03.240 --> 0:02:06.240
<v Speaker 1>now time to get to work. We were robbed of

0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the potential for some good content here, but maybe rewarded

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>with some great basketball. And I started to wonder, was

0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:17.000
<v Speaker 1>this a great day for the NBA? And you probably

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:20.160
<v Speaker 1>have an immediate reaction of of course he stayed in Milwaukee.

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 1>We loved the smaller markets. But was it a great

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:27.160
<v Speaker 1>day for the NBA because had he decided to bypass

0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the Supermax and let's say he wanted to join the

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Miami Heat, Let's say he wanted to join the Dallas Mavericks,

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>and I was told those were the two teams that

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 1>he was strongly considering that he liked the makeup of

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>the teams. But also the tax implications and the fact

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.240
<v Speaker 1>that you state income tax with you don't have that

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>in Texas and Florida. That was factoring in as well.

0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to Mannix about that, but that's what I

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>was told yesterday. But we like it when we have

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>these super teams. You may not like Golden State when

0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant was there, but you knew he was there.

0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>That was the topic of conversation. Either loved watching it

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>or hated watching it. Lebron going to Miami, you either

0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>loved it or you hated it. Kyrie kd in Brooklyn,

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe James Harden going there. That's what gets us talking.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>And if the Greek Freak had gone to Miami or Dallas,

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.639
<v Speaker 1>it would be a bigger deal than him staying in Milwaukee.

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that Milwaukee has a franchise and that it's

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>a formidable franchise. It's a relevant franchise from the standpoint

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of they're going to be there in the playoffs. They're

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 1>usually up there with the best record in the NBA

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>during the regular season. But I don't think that other

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 1>teams fans around the NBA go gotta beat Milwaukee. They

0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>care about the regular season. A lot of these teams,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.760
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of these stars ours aren't really concerned

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 1>about what their seeding is going to be as long

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 1>as you have a home court advantage in the first

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>round and you don't even have fans in the stands,

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>and then you were in the bubble. But the Greek

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>freaks staying there, I don't think it's great for the NBA.

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>It's great for Milwaukee. It's great for small markets. But

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.400
<v Speaker 1>if I'm the commissioner and I was wondering about Adam Silver,

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>not that he would ever say it publicly, like poy,

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it would have been great to have him team up

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>with Luca, Chris Stops or South Beach, and I got

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.919
<v Speaker 1>that roster, and now I got another Like you want

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:42.680
<v Speaker 1>great teams. I don't want parody, and not that Milwaukee

0:04:42.800 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>falls into the category of hey, they're just an average team.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 1>I like superpowers. I like when there's a villain. I

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 1>like when there's a team that is must see TV,

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and you have that with the Lakers. I don't like

0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.599
<v Speaker 1>that Anthony Davis did what he did with New Orleans,

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>but and in my job, I like the fact that

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.479
<v Speaker 1>he did because it gave us something to talk about.

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Although Anthony Davis in New Orleans with Zion Williamson would

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>have been pretty juicy as well. But that's what we like.

0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, Kawhi wants to go to La bring Paul

0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>George in. We spent a lot of time talking about that.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>How many teams do we not talk about in the NBA,

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>And the teams we do talk about usually have star power,

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody wants to join the team, somebody has

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>joined the team and they create something there. When I

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>was growing up, players would never leave to go play

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>for somebody else. I mean it was really rare. I

0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 1>go back to Kareem when he was lu Alcindor and

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>he won a title in Milwaukee and he wanted to

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>go to Los Angeles. He wanted out of Milwaukee. He

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.760
<v Speaker 1>wanted to go to Los Angeles, and that was a

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:57.400
<v Speaker 1>big deal at the time. Shack leaving Orlando. He wanted

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.840
<v Speaker 1>to get out, he wanted something, and that wasn't as

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>big a deal because you're thinking, oh, okay, I get it.

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:08.000
<v Speaker 1>But when lu Al Sindor did that, that was a

0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>big deal because he did not want to stay there

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:12.279
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted to go to Los Angeles, back where

0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.599
<v Speaker 1>he played his college ball. When Will Chamberlain got traded

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>from Philadelphia to the Lakers, I don't remember it at

0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>the time, but I'm sure that it was a huge,

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>huge moment in the NBA. But you know, the media

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>covering the NBA back then was a whole lot different

0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>than it is now. And we're waiting for James Harden

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:38.040
<v Speaker 1>because James Harden's the big winner. Believe it or none.

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Because now it's James Harden. It's his world. With free

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>agency or the trade possibilities there, you know, there's no

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.120
<v Speaker 1>real free agents there. It's about James Harden. And I

0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:53.400
<v Speaker 1>watched the game last night. I don't know what James

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Harden's philosophy is, what his game plan is, but if

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 1>your game plan was, let me show up out of

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>shape and give the impression I don't care. Well done.

0:07:03.680 --> 0:07:07.040
<v Speaker 1>He's one for one. I thought that he'd be a

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 1>good soldier and then just say behind the scenes, look,

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go out there. I'm gonna be fair to

0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.800
<v Speaker 1>my new coach Steven Silas and John Wall coming in.

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>But make no mistake about this. I want out and

0:07:21.160 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be a good soldier. I want out. But

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>maybe he'll he didn't talk to the media last night.

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't look like he's in shape. Although, in fairness

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to him, Luca don Chick doesn't look like he's in shape.

0:07:33.440 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I think they were hanging out together somewhere at some point. Yes,

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:41.559
<v Speaker 1>seven O'Connor. I don't think that was necessary. James Harden

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is the big winner. Oh all right, that is just

0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>an unnecessary shot to take it James Harden. Wow, Wow, Okay,

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>my apologies. I apologies. Yes, it's tough to tell whether

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 1>James Harden is or is not in shape because they

0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>put a picture of him last night. It was a

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>picture and he's in He's wearing his sweatsuit, you know,

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 1>over So's. It's a little puffier. He looks a little sweaty.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>His beer looks a little scraggly. And then they put

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a picture of him playing in the playoffs three months

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>ago and his shirts off, and he looks kind of jacked,

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.640
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, and I know it's not photoshop,

0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but I can't tell underneath there he's pudgier or just

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.240
<v Speaker 1>a picture appears to be puggier. He looked large and

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>in charge last night. I will say that he did

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>look a little thick. Yes, McLevin. I saw a tweet

0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>fear the beer slash be fear the beer. Oh that's

0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.520
<v Speaker 1>being not implying it. Yeah, anyway, the new Fritzie Christmas

0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>so many different classes. They're over ninety and they're taught

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>by world class masters at the top of their field.

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.959
<v Speaker 1>This holiday, when you buy an annual membership, you get

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>another annual membership for free. Go to masterclass dot com

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 1>slash patrick. That's masterclass dot com slash patrick. And I

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>did want to get a masterclass and give it to

0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Todd so he could take comedy and learn from some

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.240
<v Speaker 1>of the masters. I would watch them like Steve Martin.

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I know. I've said many times that I want to

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of create my own content, even if people don't laugh,

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like, you know, you shouldn't you should

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>come up with your own stuff. But that is something

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>I would If that was a gift, I would gladly welcome.

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:50.120
<v Speaker 1>That Isn't that crazy logic is especially because the biggest

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>names in the history of comedy, most of them write

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.319
<v Speaker 1>maybe little to none of their own stuff. They sit

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.160
<v Speaker 1>in a group and they take notes off of what

0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:58.480
<v Speaker 1>other writers say. If you ever watched the credit to

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the end of a comedy show, our Comedito special, there's

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>a whole list of writers. So you know, who am

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I to say that I shouldn't listen to what other

0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>people are writing thank you too well. Lebron James played

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.920
<v Speaker 1>seven years with Cleveland when he left to go to Miami.

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 1>He was twenty six at the time. Janis has played

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.079
<v Speaker 1>seven years in Milwaukee. He decided to stay. He's twenty six.

0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>I get it. Greek freaks comfortable there. Good for him,

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Happy for him that he's content he's getting paid the

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>biggest contract in NBA history. But I don't know if

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a great day for the NBA. As strange

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>as my logic may sound. If you said he was

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be paired up with Luca and Kristopsporzingis, or

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>he was going to be with Jimmy Butler and that

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 1>young Miami Heat team, that is must see TV. I've

0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>said this before, and I watch a lot of NBA.

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 1>The Bucks, to me, that is not an exciting team.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:03.439
<v Speaker 1>They win, it's but it's not an exciting too. It

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.720
<v Speaker 1>felt like there was a glass ceiling for them when

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>we get to the playoffs, usually the second round. But

0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're a Bucks fan, you gotta be happy today.

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I think you were holding your breath and I understand that,

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But now, what are you going to add for the

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Greek freak? Drew holiday. Quality guard going to need more

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.600
<v Speaker 1>than that. You know, Philadelphia is going to be better.

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>We know Brooklyn's going to be better. Boston is good,

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Miami is good, like the East is not. You know,

0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Toronto might might take a step back, but you know,

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>the East is a little more formidable it used to be.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>The West was, you know, the top heavy with the

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 1>great teams, but the East. And we don't know what's

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 1>going to happen with James Harden if he goes to Philadelphia,

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>if he goes to Brooklyn. You know what that does

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.880
<v Speaker 1>with the balance of power in the NBA. But it

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>was a great day for Wisconsin sports. But I anybody

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>understand what I'm saying, ain't but they disagree with what

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. I like the super teams because we go

0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>out of our way to watch them, like there's a

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>there's something that you always think they could win a championship.

0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Milwaukee can win a championship, not right now.

0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 1>And I think he saw with the Miami Heat did

0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to the Milwaukee Bucks in the playoffs and probably went,

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.000
<v Speaker 1>if I can't beat them, maybe I joined them. And

0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I've told you I've a source who works with the Heat,

0:12:27.240 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 1>and he said he sent us a sad face emoji

0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 1>last night when they got the news about the Greek freak.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.560
<v Speaker 1>I think they thought they had a great shot and

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of maybe, you know, and I still think

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.440
<v Speaker 1>Miami is in the running for James Harden and it

0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:49.480
<v Speaker 1>would be Bam out of Bio and Tyler Hero as

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:53.480
<v Speaker 1>a possibility. And if I'm Houston, you got my attention

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>because I got an All Star and Bam out of

0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>Bio and I got an emerging star in Tyler Hero.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.160
<v Speaker 1>You got my attention. But that's just something that you

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>can put that on the back burner. Yes, Polly, you're

0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 1>right though, because you know you don't want to admit it.

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:10.960
<v Speaker 1>But when the Golden State Warriors were dominant, it was

0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.320
<v Speaker 1>really great for the NBA. When when the Bulls put

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 1>all their guys together, or the Miami Heat, the Miami Heat.

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Lebron years are kind of peak Lebron and that's when

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the NBA has a focal point that everyone can consume.

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.480
<v Speaker 1>It's easy to consume when you have to know all

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.719
<v Speaker 1>these different teams, it's tougher. It's tougher on the average fan.

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>It's fantastic day for Milwaukee Sports. But for the concept

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of the NBA, it's not so much all right, some

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>other things. So Jannis gets two twenty eight for five years.

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>The NFL says, no playoff bubble. I thought that there

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>might have been that possibility of once we got to

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>the conference championship games, but the commissioner says no. The

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>rankings came out the college football selection committee, Alabama notre

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>named Clemson, Ohio State. No real movement there. You got

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>A and M on the doorstep, Iowa State, Florida Florida

0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 1>and louses to LSU, a subpar LSU team and I'm

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>being polite and loses at home and drops one spot. Okay,

0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>once I once again, I just would love, you know,

0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>just give me transparency here, Like, let me not add

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:23.119
<v Speaker 1>logic to this, because when I add logic, my head explodes.

0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I I hope one day we get to watch a meeting.

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's like the selection committee with college basketball

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.640
<v Speaker 1>and march mandus, Like I would just let us see,

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 1>just let us hear what you talk about so we

0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:41.680
<v Speaker 1>understand it. So at least let us be in on,

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the joke, because Florida, that's that's a terrible

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 1>loss by Florida. Now you can say, well, it's a

0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>last second field goal, and you know player threw a shoe.

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.800
<v Speaker 1>You it shouldn't have been that close. You're playing LSU

0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and you have Alabama coming up, but they've left the

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:06.240
<v Speaker 1>door open for Florida. Florida beats Alabama, does Florida get in?

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 1>And my college source said again last night that he

0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>thinks if Clemson loses to Notre Dame, A and M

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>gets in. And I said, well, many they love shiny

0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>objects there to get Trevor Lawrence in there, and Dabbo,

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. And I said, you know, Tennessee plays

0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>A and M. Is there any chance? He goes, no,

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>it's Tennessee, And I go, okay, my man, I said,

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we always subscribe to the there's always a chance.

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>There's always a chance. You can't say you've got no chance,

0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 1>because we've seen that that yes, hunt one. They'll never

0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 1>let us listen in on those conversations as much as

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we love to because they and if they did put

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 1>cameras in there, they'd been passing secret notes like we

0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.720
<v Speaker 1>got to have Ohio State and it's the Buckeyes. Are

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you kidding me? There's no way that could actually verbalize

0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 1>that for the world to hear, even though it's blatantly

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>obvious to most of us. It just feels like they

0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>have You ever had the telemarketer who calls and and

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:09.320
<v Speaker 1>you say something and they got an answer back for you,

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 1>and then you say something, and then they got an

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.960
<v Speaker 1>answer back for you, and you're going, man, they're really good.

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>It feels like the college football Playoff Committee has posteds.

0:16:20.520 --> 0:16:23.000
<v Speaker 1>So when you go, h okay, so what what? Okay?

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.520
<v Speaker 1>When they bring up Coastal Carolina, Oh, just say that,

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:30.520
<v Speaker 1>they say that, Okay, they haven't played a tough schedule,

0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and then it'll be Cincinnati. Cincinnati hasn't played since the

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>third week of November. Yeah, how am I doing? You?

0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you doing? Greed? Um? Ohio States played five games,

0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 1>but they passed the eye test. Okay, all right, why

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.440
<v Speaker 1>do you Why do you guys love Iowa States so much?

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Why why do we love uh? Um? They have a

0:16:56.720 --> 0:16:59.360
<v Speaker 1>really good quarterback, they have a good wide receiver, good

0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.520
<v Speaker 1>tight end and running back and they're playing really well

0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:05.680
<v Speaker 1>as of late. How am I doing? Yeah? Okay, that's

0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>what it feels like. They have talking points. We'll talk

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner, because if we expanded

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs to eight teams, they'd have what three four

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 1>teams in there. Yeah, if if there was an eight

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:28.520
<v Speaker 1>team playoff this year, the SEC would have three of

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the teams currently and the first round matchup as of

0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>right now would be George Obama, Florida Notre Dame. That

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 1>would be of a lot of money, a lot of

0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>good football. But I get A and M two yep,

0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah, am right, yes, McLeman. I think they put

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Iowa State at six, so when Oklahoma blows the doors

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>off them, they could have the same final four they

0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:53.560
<v Speaker 1>do every single year. And I know, but when the

0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>season started, I think I didn't have Notre Dame in

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the final four, but it was Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma, and

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:03.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the other school was, but you know,

0:18:03.760 --> 0:18:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you just go, okay, it's it's probably around five, six

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:11.919
<v Speaker 1>seven teams that we factor in there every year, and

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.159
<v Speaker 1>it's going to be the same. It's National signing Day. Check.

0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:18.159
<v Speaker 1>You know who's got the best recruiting classes coming in?

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Chances are Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State. They're gonna be up

0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 1>there in the top three. Yes, love. Yeah, so what

0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.040
<v Speaker 1>would a spread be? I keep asking this, but isn't

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 1>there an argument that Clemson would be, like, you know,

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>huge favorites over these other teams, even that Cincinnati. I

0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>don't know about Cincinnati. But Florida, I know they lost,

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:41.720
<v Speaker 1>but they're a better team than than some of the

0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 1>other teams. But do they deserve to only drop one

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>spot when they lost at home to LSU? Shoe ls shoe.

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 1>But that's what I want to know. Just tell me,

0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:59.159
<v Speaker 1>because it just feels like all else fails keep power

0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.879
<v Speaker 1>conferences in top ten. I mean, that's just what it

0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:04.199
<v Speaker 1>feels like. And there's no way you can convince me

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Florida should drop only one spot at home against LSU

0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.199
<v Speaker 1>and they lost. Georgia has not even been in the

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.879
<v Speaker 1>conversation for a long time, and they still hover because

0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.720
<v Speaker 1>they're in the SEC. That's all. Just let us know.

0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.120
<v Speaker 1>What are you playing chess? Playing checkers? Like maybe you're

0:19:21.160 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>playing part cheese, like we don't know. But that's why

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out here. I don't think that's

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.239
<v Speaker 1>asking too much, isn't all right? Chris Mannox will join us?

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Was yesterday a great day for the NBA? And I

0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:36.280
<v Speaker 1>want to ask him about the Lakers new secret weapon.

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:40.560
<v Speaker 1>He was in the G League last year. We'll talk

0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.800

0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:49.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought that question you asked. The first segment was

0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 1>yesterday a good day for the NBA. Okay? Yes or no?

0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:58.000
<v Speaker 1>All right? Oh my gosh, I just saw this name.

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:05.280
<v Speaker 1>It's National sign Day. This guy's name is General Booty.

0:22:07.240 --> 0:22:11.560
<v Speaker 1>General Booty has got to go to Army, right, his

0:22:11.920 --> 0:22:14.240
<v Speaker 1>name is General Booty or his rank is general? No, No,

0:22:14.320 --> 0:22:18.400
<v Speaker 1>he's General Booty. He's already a general. And uh he's

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a high school player out of Allen, Texas. Is he

0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>related to the Booty's of LSU? He is the Uh? Yeah,

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I think he's a nephew of John David Booty and

0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.560
<v Speaker 1>he's the son of former LSU receiver Abraham Booty. Yeah, seton.

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, if Army doesn't sign him for some reason,

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.119
<v Speaker 1>I feel like the Miami Hurricanes could really use a

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.800
<v Speaker 1>General Booty too. I just feel like he would fit

0:22:38.920 --> 0:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>right in. Oh, there's somebody jokes. You know. His uncle

0:22:45.520 --> 0:22:48.119
<v Speaker 1>was Josh Booty, former LSU and NFL quarterback. Who have

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:50.320
<v Speaker 1>we had on the show years and years ago? Yeah,

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 1>coach Saban Booty call what I know? You know, the

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.919
<v Speaker 1>recruit booty, Booty call you gotta drop everything for that's

0:22:59.200 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the tough party. Who are you calling for? I'm looking

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 1>for general Booty. Do you want a specific booty now?

0:23:03.520 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I want to generally very general right now? Do you

0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 1>want to Kardashian? No? No, no, a general booty? Do

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you want to keep an eye in his recruitment day?

0:23:11.760 --> 0:23:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Want to let you know breaking the broadcast, I want

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:18.479
<v Speaker 1>to know where general Booty is going to. Yeah, I

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:20.480
<v Speaker 1>think you need to turn off Todd's mike right now,

0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:25.119
<v Speaker 1>just to be said where this is going? Because Todd

0:23:25.200 --> 0:23:28.280
<v Speaker 1>leans into his microphone like he'll sometimes wave and he wants,

0:23:28.320 --> 0:23:29.800
<v Speaker 1>you know when he wants to get my attention. But

0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>when he leans in something like this, I'm gonna bang

0:23:32.320 --> 0:23:36.960
<v Speaker 1>my whole basic to the microphone. Uhs man, except to

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:39.199
<v Speaker 1>join us. He kind of is all right. He's the

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:42.600
<v Speaker 1>senior NBA writer for Sports Illustrated. Chris mannis back on

0:23:42.640 --> 0:23:45.399
<v Speaker 1>the program. Was it a great day for the NBA

0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 1>that the Greek freak is staying in Milwaukee? He was

0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.960
<v Speaker 1>a great day for the NBA. UM, a great day

0:23:53.000 --> 0:23:57.719
<v Speaker 1>for small markets, A great day for the hope that

0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Adam Silver has to ultimately established league wide parody. I mean, look,

0:24:03.760 --> 0:24:07.640
<v Speaker 1>then small markets have taken a pounding in the last

0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:10.920
<v Speaker 1>few years, whether it's Kawhi Leonard and san Antonio Lebron,

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Davis forcing his way out of New Orleans. You know,

0:24:14.960 --> 0:24:17.479
<v Speaker 1>this wasn't Yannis saying, all right, I'm gonna give you

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a one plus one type extension to buy a little

0:24:21.000 --> 0:24:24.080
<v Speaker 1>bit more time. This was Yannis saying I'm all in

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.080
<v Speaker 1>on the Milwaukee Bucks. I mean, remember, he could have

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.680
<v Speaker 1>signed this exact same contract next summer, exact same one.

0:24:30.960 --> 0:24:35.359
<v Speaker 1>But by doing it now, he is showing really endorsing

0:24:35.400 --> 0:24:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks and everything they do. And I think it's

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.360
<v Speaker 1>great for the NBA. But what was he thinking about it?

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:44.680
<v Speaker 1>It felt like he was contemplating the possibility of maybe Florida,

0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>maybe Texas, to play with the MAVs or play with

0:24:47.680 --> 0:24:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the Heat or like, I'm just trying to figure out

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:53.239
<v Speaker 1>what was he factoring in of whether or not he

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:56.320
<v Speaker 1>was going to stay or not. Well, from what I understand,

0:24:56.840 --> 0:24:58.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there were a lot of variables, not just

0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>going to play in those areas, but the tax ramifications

0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.439
<v Speaker 1>of playing in Florida and Texas, and look, there were

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:09.199
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things to talk about. He had a

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:13.280
<v Speaker 1>meeting with ownership earlier this month that reinforced to him

0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>that the Bucks were not going to be cheap when

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.239
<v Speaker 1>it comes to payroll. I mean, we've seen teams in

0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:21.679
<v Speaker 1>recent years skimp a little bit when it comes to

0:25:22.200 --> 0:25:24.920
<v Speaker 1>not want to spend deep into luxury tax. Bucks ownership

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:27.679
<v Speaker 1>assured him that they would be willing to do that.

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.760
<v Speaker 1>He had another meeting with John Horse, who has been

0:25:30.160 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>really masterful Dan at assembling this roster around him, and

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.080
<v Speaker 1>Horse assured him that we're going to continue to look

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>for talent. Like they've depleted a lot of their assets

0:25:39.920 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>in the last couple of weeks with that Drew Holiday deal,

0:25:42.800 --> 0:25:45.680
<v Speaker 1>but there still are things the Bucks can do to

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 1>improve this team around Jannis, and Jannis heard from management

0:25:49.160 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to try to do it. So I

0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 1>think he was just weighing everything. Look, it's the biggest decision,

0:25:55.320 --> 0:25:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, outside of his personal life, that he's ever

0:25:57.880 --> 0:26:00.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna make. He's gonna be a Buck these early thirties,

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.719
<v Speaker 1>and I think he just wanted to weigh every option appropriately.

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:08.719
<v Speaker 1>Give me the team that was disappointed Slash devastated by

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the Greek freak staying in Milwaukee. Oh, it starts with Miami.

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:15.399
<v Speaker 1>I think the Heat really believed that they had a

0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>legitimate shot and making a run at Jannis in twenty

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. I mean, they're Their best audition for Yannis

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:24.119
<v Speaker 1>was what they did to them to the Bucks in

0:26:24.160 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs just this past season. I mean they they

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:30.679
<v Speaker 1>dismantled Milwaukee, and I think that certainly showed Yannis that

0:26:31.040 --> 0:26:33.440
<v Speaker 1>this was a team that, you know, he could step

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 1>into a co star at Jimmy Butler, a big man

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.640
<v Speaker 1>in bam At, a bio that he could win championships

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:41.360
<v Speaker 1>with for years to come. But it wasn't just limited

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 1>to Miami, Dan. I mean you could hear the groans

0:26:44.840 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>in Toronto where the Raptors were certainly preparing for a

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 1>run at Yannis. Dallas another team that wanted a shot

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:54.720
<v Speaker 1>at Yannis. Even the Lakers, you know, had some some

0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:57.240
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on being able to clear enough cap space to

0:26:57.240 --> 0:27:00.400
<v Speaker 1>sign Yannis next summer as well. So I think there'll

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 1>be a ripple effect here, you know, like these teams

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>were protecting their cap space for the summer of twenty

0:27:05.359 --> 0:27:08.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty one. Now that they don't have to do that,

0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I think we might see more activity on the trade market.

0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:15.440
<v Speaker 1>We're approaching the start of the NBA season. Aside from Milwaukee,

0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>who had the best offseason in your opinion? After watching

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Brooklyn play in its preseason opener, I'm gonna say Brooklyn

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.160
<v Speaker 1>and they didn't do much because they just got Kevin

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Durant back and brought the band back together. But I

0:27:31.920 --> 0:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>watched Kevin Durant dan and this kind of reinforces everything

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I heard over the last few months from people that

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.720
<v Speaker 1>participated in the scrimmages with Durant or watched the scrimmages.

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I kept hearing over and over again that Kevin Durant

0:27:47.960 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>was all the way back, that he was the same

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:54.080
<v Speaker 1>player we saw before the Achilles injury, And watching him

0:27:54.119 --> 0:27:57.359
<v Speaker 1>in that preseason opener, I thought he moved fluidly, he

0:27:57.440 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>had explosiveness. It's only a short burst of time playing

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in a game like that, but watching him, I have

0:28:03.520 --> 0:28:05.160
<v Speaker 1>no reason to believe that we're not going to see

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.760
<v Speaker 1>something close to the old Kevin Durant. And if we

0:28:07.840 --> 0:28:11.080
<v Speaker 1>see that combined with a healthy Kyrie Irving, two guys

0:28:11.119 --> 0:28:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that are proven playoff performers, it's hard not to look

0:28:14.280 --> 0:28:16.199
<v Speaker 1>at the Nets as at least being a co favorite

0:28:16.200 --> 0:28:19.040
<v Speaker 1>in the conference. I'm not worried about Durant, which sounds

0:28:19.040 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>strange for a guy who hasn't played in a year

0:28:20.800 --> 0:28:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and a half coming off Kelly surgery. I'm worried about Kyrie. YEA,

0:28:25.800 --> 0:28:29.440
<v Speaker 1>should I think? Yes? Yes, Shot answers yes. I mean

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:33.840
<v Speaker 1>it's Look, there are a lot of parallels to this

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 1>version of the Nets to the eighteen nineteen Celtics, and

0:28:37.200 --> 0:28:40.040
<v Speaker 1>not just because Kyrie was a part of both teams.

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You've got, you know, young guys that have kind of

0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 1>already proven themselves to a degree they're now being asked

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>to accept lesser roles. And all the public comments I'm

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:55.160
<v Speaker 1>hearing out of Brooklyn now, Dan, are comparable to what

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I've heard what I heard in Boston in eighteen nineteen,

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>when these guys said, no, we'll take a second during roll.

0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>We're fine, we just want to win. You know, how

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 1>does Kyrie manage some of that? Like he has? The

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:08.680
<v Speaker 1>point guard is going to have to make sure that

0:29:08.760 --> 0:29:11.520
<v Speaker 1>these guys are involved a bigger issue though, Dan, at

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:15.240
<v Speaker 1>least in the early on is you know, Look, the

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>James Harden chatter isn't going to die down. The Nets

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>are going to be a contender for James Harden as

0:29:21.960 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 1>long as he's available, much in the same way that

0:29:25.000 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Boston was for Anthony Davis during those last couple of years.

0:29:28.000 --> 0:29:31.840
<v Speaker 1>So if the chatter continues to focus on James Harden Brooklyn,

0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:34.680
<v Speaker 1>those players in that locker room are going to look

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 1>around and go, I mean, if you're talking about acquiring

0:29:37.120 --> 0:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>James Harden, that means I go, that means I'm not

0:29:39.600 --> 0:29:42.400
<v Speaker 1>part of this. And look, we've seen kind of firsthand

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>with the Celtics a year earlier with the Lakers when

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Ingraham and those guys were talked about in the

0:29:47.880 --> 0:29:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Davis trade. That can really toxify your locker room. So

0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:54.480
<v Speaker 1>how the star players on that team, Kyrie and Kevin

0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Durant handle that stuff. I think it's going to be

0:29:57.400 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a factor in the success of the Nets. He's Chris

0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Mannock's senior writer for Sports Illustrated. What is James Harden's

0:30:04.640 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>approach here? Aside from showing up looking like a big

0:30:08.520 --> 0:30:12.280
<v Speaker 1>man on campus? Literally it didn't look great. It didn't

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:16.120
<v Speaker 1>look great in that preseason debut. I mean his approach

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:19.040
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is going to be his approach.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:22.200
<v Speaker 1>He's just keep his head down, keep playing hard, and

0:30:23.120 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>sort of anticipate that the Rockets trade him before the

0:30:25.800 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>deadline in March. Looks like his head is down on

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:32.520
<v Speaker 1>his plate. That's the problem. Touch on that one at

0:30:32.520 --> 0:30:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the moment. But this is he certainly isn't in the

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:40.560
<v Speaker 1>best of shape coming into this season. But he's got

0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 1>to go out there and play. He has got to

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:45.680
<v Speaker 1>be a active member of this team. He's got to

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:48.320
<v Speaker 1>be a good soldier, all those cliches. He's got to

0:30:48.320 --> 0:30:51.080
<v Speaker 1>do all those things. Because if you're a distressed asset,

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>you're you just become more difficult to trade. And the

0:30:53.840 --> 0:30:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Rockets have made it clear in conversations they've had with

0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:58.960
<v Speaker 1>teams that have inquired that they're not just going to

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>dump James Harden. Come to them with a massive offer,

0:31:02.960 --> 0:31:04.719
<v Speaker 1>or else don't come to them at all. That's been

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:07.440
<v Speaker 1>their position, Chris, I haven't heard an offer yet. Has

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:11.280
<v Speaker 1>somebody made a tangible offer for James Harden where you

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.240
<v Speaker 1>say those players are going to Houston in exchange for

0:31:14.800 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Harden and whatever else. Well, I don't think it's as

0:31:17.640 --> 0:31:19.680
<v Speaker 1>simple as you know, like here's an email, I'll trade

0:31:19.680 --> 0:31:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you this, this and that. There have been broad strokes conversations.

0:31:22.560 --> 0:31:25.200
<v Speaker 1>You know with Brooklyn, there have been conversations with the

0:31:25.200 --> 0:31:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia seventy six. I don't know exactly how far those

0:31:28.640 --> 0:31:31.280
<v Speaker 1>conversations have gone, but there have been broad strokes conversation. Well,

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:33.920
<v Speaker 1>what it would take to get James Harden. That means

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a core of young players, including a blueship guy, and

0:31:37.400 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>basically all the draft picks you have left in your arsenal.

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.960
<v Speaker 1>That's what it's going to take. From Houston's perspective, the

0:31:43.080 --> 0:31:45.200
<v Speaker 1>question is dan over the next month, and this is

0:31:45.200 --> 0:31:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the big one. Will Philadelphia deal Ben Simmons for James Harden.

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:53.480
<v Speaker 1>That's the player the Rockets would absolutely jump at in

0:31:53.560 --> 0:31:55.479
<v Speaker 1>a James Harden deal. They'll probably want more and there

0:31:55.480 --> 0:31:57.920
<v Speaker 1>will be some haggling between both sides, but that's a

0:31:57.960 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>deal that could come together relatively quickly if the Sixers

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:04.960
<v Speaker 1>are willing to move off Ben Simmons explain. Give me

0:32:05.000 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the download on the Lakers new secret weapon coming off

0:32:08.000 --> 0:32:11.960
<v Speaker 1>the bench, Horton Tucker. He's a good player man. He

0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>played mostly the G League last year and was really effective.

0:32:15.560 --> 0:32:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But always in the G League, you have no idea

0:32:18.160 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna get, but you know the last couple

0:32:20.560 --> 0:32:23.680
<v Speaker 1>of weeks and months, you've heard Lebron James speak glowingly

0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:26.560
<v Speaker 1>about this kid, a guy that can plays, versatile, plays

0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 1>multiple positions, can shoot the three. I mean, I think

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.800
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be a real factor for the Lakers, almost

0:32:31.840 --> 0:32:35.720
<v Speaker 1>like a found like found gold with LA who is

0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.040
<v Speaker 1>badly in need of rotation players on the back end

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of that bench. When he was out of Iowa State, Yes,

0:32:42.280 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think he's only like nineteen. Maybe he's now twenty,

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:47.520
<v Speaker 1>but I think he just turned twenty. Yeah, I just

0:32:47.600 --> 0:32:51.400
<v Speaker 1>turned twenty. And look, he's just one of those guys

0:32:51.440 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>that you don't see coming. And as I said, you

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:56.440
<v Speaker 1>saw Lebron saw him coming for the better part of

0:32:56.480 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of months after watching him and working

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:00.600
<v Speaker 1>out with him. I mean, when you have a versatile

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>guy that can play a few different positions, that can

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.360
<v Speaker 1>shoot the three on that Lakers team, that is invaluable.

0:33:06.440 --> 0:33:09.080
<v Speaker 1>That is exactly what you're looking for on a team

0:33:09.080 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>that needs versatility. Great to see again, Chris, thanks for

0:33:12.360 --> 0:33:17.000
<v Speaker 1>joining us as always. You got it, Dan. That's gonna

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Chris Mannix there. I almost I forgot who I was

0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:24.240
<v Speaker 1>talking to. That's Chris Mannix. A sports illustrator senior NBA

0:33:24.360 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Ryan there. He likes the parody. You're all about the

0:33:26.520 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>super team? Yeah, I do, but I think you tune

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.000
<v Speaker 1>in to see that team you have to knock off,

0:33:32.120 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>or a team that you might not like. You know,

0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:37.200
<v Speaker 1>it's a superpower there, and I know we don't like

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it when you say, hey, let me let me see

0:33:40.280 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>if I can get a chance like James Harden is

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to do. James Harden had control of the Rockets.

0:33:46.080 --> 0:33:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't want this coach. I don't want Kevin McHale here,

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:52.120
<v Speaker 1>Mike D'Antoni, I want him. Let's bring in Chris Paul. No,

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't want Chris Paul Now. I want Russell Westbrook

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:56.880
<v Speaker 1>here like he got everything he wanted. He was trying

0:33:56.920 --> 0:33:59.960
<v Speaker 1>to win a championship, and now he's going to try

0:34:00.040 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>it again, but this time going someplace else where. He's

0:34:03.040 --> 0:34:04.680
<v Speaker 1>not the one who was going to be in charge

0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>if he goes. Maybe it's the Miami Heat, maybe it'll

0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:11.600
<v Speaker 1>be Philadelphia, maybe it'll be Brooklyn. There. I would love

0:34:11.600 --> 0:34:15.160
<v Speaker 1>it to be Brooklyn, just because of the content there,

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 1>the possibilities there. It could be really really good, it

0:34:19.520 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>could be really really bad. Philadelphia would be interesting. Miami

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>would be really interesting as well. But I do like that.

0:34:30.080 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't like that players will will kind of piggyback

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:37.080
<v Speaker 1>with somebody to win a championship. I don't like it.

0:34:37.560 --> 0:34:40.920
<v Speaker 1>But I know if I was playing now and you said, hey,

0:34:41.560 --> 0:34:44.600
<v Speaker 1>why haven't you won a championship, Well, I don't know.

0:34:44.680 --> 0:34:46.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm stuck with this roster. Nobody wants to come here

0:34:46.800 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>and play, or management's not very good at bringing in players,

0:34:49.520 --> 0:34:52.719
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to go play with somebody else. And

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I understand the logic there, But good for the Greek

0:34:56.440 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>freak he found. You know, Tim Duncan flirted with going

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:03.319
<v Speaker 1>to our and almost went to the Orlando Magic many

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:08.120
<v Speaker 1>many many years ago, but his personality fit San Antonio

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 1>and vice versa, and of course it helped playing for

0:35:12.600 --> 0:35:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a Hall of Fame coach and the fact that they

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 1>drafted really well. When you get Tony Parker and Manu

0:35:18.800 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>Genoble in the same draft, you get Parker at the

0:35:21.280 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>end of the first round and get Jenoble in the

0:35:23.000 --> 0:35:25.959
<v Speaker 1>second round, you get two Hall of famers. There doesn't

0:35:26.000 --> 0:35:29.040
<v Speaker 1>seem fair. And then, oh, by the way, you draft

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:34.719
<v Speaker 1>Kawhi Leonard, you got David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and then

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you sprinkling some role players there. Man, that's the way

0:35:39.520 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 1>to do it. Yeah, Paul, you know, you could compare

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 1>this a little bit. It's apples and oranges to what

0:35:45.800 --> 0:35:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Kevin duranted. He was twenty three years old in Oklahoma City.

0:35:48.560 --> 0:35:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He signed that extension, but it was four years and

0:35:51.440 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it got him to about twenty seven, twenty eight years old.

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:55.960
<v Speaker 1>He was playing the early prime of his career. But

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:57.920
<v Speaker 1>he had Russell Westbrook with him and they had a

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:00.640
<v Speaker 1>couple shots at the title. But then the dates twenty

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>eight he joined the Golden State Wars. He honest is

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>down a position where his contract will be up, his

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 1>leverage will be up, but he'll be thirty thirty one

0:36:07.840 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 1>years old. Well, they had Hardened and they had Westbrook,

0:36:11.560 --> 0:36:14.680
<v Speaker 1>and they had had Durant. They had a superpower and

0:36:14.719 --> 0:36:19.840
<v Speaker 1>they did it legitimately. Yeah, they drafted them. And you

0:36:19.880 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>know then all of a sudden, Durant shocked everybody and said,

0:36:22.680 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want to go to Golden State. And

0:36:25.400 --> 0:36:27.879
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if people at the time they were saying, well,

0:36:27.880 --> 0:36:30.280
<v Speaker 1>if you win, we're going to put an asterisk by it. Okay,

0:36:30.280 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you want to great it doesn't take away

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:37.360
<v Speaker 1>from his greatness. I think that these players get sensitive

0:36:37.400 --> 0:36:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to the well, you don't win or how many championships

0:36:41.440 --> 0:36:44.759
<v Speaker 1>have you won, because that's greatness. You move up the

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>ladder when we start counting your titles. You can't convince

0:36:49.160 --> 0:36:51.240
<v Speaker 1>me that somebody was a better throw or the football

0:36:51.280 --> 0:36:55.000
<v Speaker 1>than Dan Marino in the history of the game. What

0:36:55.040 --> 0:36:56.680
<v Speaker 1>they did, when they did it, how they did it,

0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.239
<v Speaker 1>they were so far ahead of everybody. He didn't win

0:36:59.239 --> 0:37:01.879
<v Speaker 1>a championship, then win a Super Bowl, he went to one,

0:37:02.000 --> 0:37:07.120
<v Speaker 1>got blown out. He's down the list. If Aaron Rodgers

0:37:07.160 --> 0:37:09.560
<v Speaker 1>wins one more, if Drew Brees wins one more, if

0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Ben Roethlisberger wins one more, if Russell Wilson wins one more,

0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:18.840
<v Speaker 1>you move up the ladder. You're better than Dan Marino.

0:37:21.080 --> 0:37:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Is it fair? Probably not, But those are the rules

0:37:25.880 --> 0:37:29.959
<v Speaker 1>that we've established the rules. It's about winning championships. Kevin

0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Durant would not be a top ten player without having

0:37:34.000 --> 0:37:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a championship. It feels like we would go you're not

0:37:37.680 --> 0:37:42.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed in. I mean, Karl Malone, he's not going to

0:37:42.080 --> 0:37:44.840
<v Speaker 1>stay in the top ten if he had won two titles,

0:37:44.960 --> 0:37:47.920
<v Speaker 1>he's staying in the top ten. Charles Barkley not a

0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:50.920
<v Speaker 1>top ten player, didn't win a championship. If he had

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:55.200
<v Speaker 1>won one or two, maybe like Scottie Pippen is in

0:37:55.920 --> 0:37:58.640
<v Speaker 1>the conversation of top twenty five players of all time

0:37:59.120 --> 0:38:02.840
<v Speaker 1>or thirty because he won those titles. Without those titles,

0:38:02.840 --> 0:38:06.719
<v Speaker 1>Scottie Pippen is just a wonderful player. He's Tracy McGrady,

0:38:07.719 --> 0:38:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, or somebody like that. You go, boy, he

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:12.879
<v Speaker 1>was a really good player. But winning those championships, boy,

0:38:12.920 --> 0:38:15.799
<v Speaker 1>does that elevate you. Yeah. Paul I did a quick

0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:19.480
<v Speaker 1>dip deep dive on Milwaukee real estates and the most

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 1>expensive home within an hour of Milwaukee is six point

0:38:22.600 --> 0:38:25.799
<v Speaker 1>nine million dollars, which is about two months pay for

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Yannis thirteen thousand square feet, nine bedrooms in Whitefish Bay's

0:38:29.840 --> 0:38:32.399
<v Speaker 1>it's lovely. I think he'll do find that. Whitefish Bay

0:38:32.480 --> 0:38:34.600
<v Speaker 1>is a beautiful place, gorgeous right on the water there.

0:38:34.680 --> 0:38:37.279
<v Speaker 1>But I think he's just a condo guy downtown. I'm

0:38:37.320 --> 0:38:39.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna guess he's got a crib some other place in

0:38:39.840 --> 0:38:42.040
<v Speaker 1>the country or the world that that would be my

0:38:42.080 --> 0:38:44.040
<v Speaker 1>guest for Greek freak. All right, let me take a rink.

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:46.279

<v Speaker 1>the Kings the game. It looked like it, it felt

0:39:31.320 --> 0:39:34.239
<v Speaker 1>like it, and it might have been. I love that

0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Harland in a preseason game made it sound like

0:39:37.680 --> 0:39:42.440

0:40:17.880 --> 0:40:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the Greek freak staying in Milwaukee a good day for

0:40:19.920 --> 0:40:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the NBA? McLevin, Yeah, so far, sixty seven percent said yes,

0:40:23.400 --> 0:40:25.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a good day. I think that's sort of the

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 1>mainstream take that. Yeah, you want to help these small

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 1>team markets because otherwise they'll won't they fade away a

0:40:31.080 --> 0:40:34.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit? Well, they don't. They're not relevant. I don't

0:40:34.040 --> 0:40:36.479
<v Speaker 1>know if they fade away because these owners are making

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:40.720
<v Speaker 1>money and it feels like every team is making money

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:43.120
<v Speaker 1>spending money. Now. If we don't get fans back for

0:40:43.160 --> 0:40:45.839
<v Speaker 1>this upcoming season, now, it's a little bit different for

0:40:46.040 --> 0:40:49.160
<v Speaker 1>some of these some of these cities, some of these markets. Yeahmicklevin,

0:40:49.480 --> 0:40:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I tuned in to see James Harden play Rocket Spurs Man.

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:55.640
<v Speaker 1>The Spurs are still boring. They're sticking with Yes, Yes

0:40:55.760 --> 0:40:58.880
<v Speaker 1>they are. Yes, they are, so you can be good

0:40:58.920 --> 0:41:01.839
<v Speaker 1>and boring, right, like, you don't have you know, well,

0:41:01.880 --> 0:41:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the Spurs weren't exciting even at their peak, but they

0:41:06.280 --> 0:41:13.520
<v Speaker 1>were wonderfully run. They played great textbook basketball. But that

0:41:13.600 --> 0:41:18.120
<v Speaker 1>doesn't always entertain the average fan, or you know, even

0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.560
<v Speaker 1>the most serious basketball fan. Now, like, I don't know

0:41:21.600 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 1>what is entertaining anymore, because it feels like just whatever

0:41:25.560 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 1>you do, do a lot of it. Shoot shoot as

0:41:29.120 --> 0:41:33.839
<v Speaker 1>many threes as possible. You know, shot selection won't be great. Hey,

0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you made it. You try to make a great pass. Okay,

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:40.600
<v Speaker 1>it's not. You don't watch basketball for the purity of

0:41:40.600 --> 0:41:44.319
<v Speaker 1>basketball anymore. I think you just look for flashers. You're

0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:49.800
<v Speaker 1>watching almost a game, but you're looking for highlights. Yes, mcclub.

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:52.919
<v Speaker 1>Are there certain teams, like odd teams that you're looking

0:41:52.960 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 1>forward to watching on League Pass? Oh yeah, the Hawks,

0:41:56.480 --> 0:42:05.200
<v Speaker 1>definitely the Horn. Oh yeah, yeah, Paulie. Once again, when

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:07.279
<v Speaker 1>I do my direct TV and I go down the

0:42:07.320 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 1>list of games, I usually go to the game that

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody is watching. You should host League Pass, Dan.

0:42:13.600 --> 0:42:16.320
<v Speaker 1>You should be like the Andrews Sicilian of League Pats

0:42:16.600 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 1>and just say we're going to throw it out to Charlotte.

0:42:18.640 --> 0:42:22.920
<v Speaker 1>It's eight four. Great call, great call. I know you're busy,

0:42:22.960 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 1>but yea once a week league pass. If they let

0:42:26.560 --> 0:42:30.040
<v Speaker 1>me smoke a cigar and drink tequila, I guarantee they

0:42:30.080 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 1>would they if they let me do that, then I

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:36.120
<v Speaker 1>might because usually that's what I'm doing and having a

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:39.920
<v Speaker 1>nice cigar. I'm sitting if you were a little tipsy

0:42:40.080 --> 0:42:42.520
<v Speaker 1>far and I'm stokey and running me through some set

0:42:42.600 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>kings highlights, I'm tuning in. Uh. We had somebody tweet

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Zach Stewart says, somebody get James Harden some built bars.

0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Am I right, Fritzie, you could use some more protein

0:42:54.880 --> 0:42:56.480
<v Speaker 1>and less car up. So I want to talk, but

0:42:56.560 --> 0:42:58.319
<v Speaker 1>I can you know, I know it, so I can

0:42:58.400 --> 0:43:02.359
<v Speaker 1>see it. We'll talk to the SEC Commissioner, Greg Sank.

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:04.719
<v Speaker 1>He'll join us coming up final hour. And we've never

0:43:04.800 --> 0:43:08.560
<v Speaker 1>had Trevor Lawrence on the Clemson quarterback. I got a

0:43:08.600 --> 0:43:11.600
<v Speaker 1>few things to bring up. I see watched the Jets,

0:43:11.760 --> 0:43:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Like would he'd be honest and say I've watched them?

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Because if I'm him, I got at least sneak a

0:43:17.239 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 1>peek at the Jets. One hour in the books, two

0:43:20.160 --> 0:43:22.439
<v Speaker 1>more to go coming up Dan Patrick Show,
