1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,520 Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 1: Sports Radio Hour two. 3 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: On this Thursday, Dan and the Dan Net's Dan Patrick Show. 4 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,639 Speaker 2: You're feeling like a first round draft pick today or 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 2: maybe a second round draft pick coming up tonight eight 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 2: seven to seven to three. DP show Email address DP 7 00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 2: at Danpatrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. We 8 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: analyze the draft, and we analyze it in our way, 9 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: not necessarily the way most people do or should. But 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: we were troubled by the hats that the players are wearing. 11 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 2: They don't fit. Also, if you get traded, and some 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 2: people pointing out Scott Van Pelt brought this up last 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 2: night on his Sports Center show, so shout out to SVP. 14 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: But we thought about maybe a sash or advisor or 15 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: maybe a chain that you could wear and then you 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 2: could exchange that if you had to, so it'd be 17 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a smoother transition. I'm thinking 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: about marketing, you know, I'm all about marketing here. Its 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: product placement is what it is. But I'm watching and 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 2: this is the moment. Okay, granted you're eighteen years of 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: age and nineteen years of age, but still it's the 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: moment that you thought of dreamed of your chance. 23 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: You're getting drafted. 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you're taking off your Orlando hat 25 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: and putting a Cleveland hat on. Not exactly how you 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 2: scripted it, Like, Hey, this is that dream moment that 27 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: I've always thought of where I get to exchange hats 28 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: with throw out somebody's name, Asa Newle, Derek Queen here, 29 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 2: and I know that you know the NBA is trying 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: to push product on us, but this is how about 31 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: we wait until after the first round and everybody can 32 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: put their hats on. Okay, maybe we get a group 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: photo picture day and everybody's got their hats on, so 34 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: we can do the marketing without the silly Put that 35 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 2: hat on right now, it doesn't matter, Just put it on, yes, Dylan. 36 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 4: What if a business idea they make like a Swiss 37 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 4: army knife hat where you can kind of just spin 38 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 4: pieces around and get a different logo and colors will workshop. 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 2: Then Dylan's in for Seaton Minister of Humors. Here, Fritzy 40 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: Marv Pauli, yours truly. Stat of the day is always 41 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: brought to you by Panini America, the official trading cards 42 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: of the Dan Patrick Show. I didn't even answer the 43 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 2: question last hour because we were talking about mythological figures. 44 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: We're talking about Will Chamberlain with his numbers and Babe 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: Ruth with his numbers. Muhammad Ali Marvin brought up Michael Jordan, 46 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: you know, a mythological figure, but he did everything right 47 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: in front of us. Babe Ruth was word of mouth. 48 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 2: Bo Jackson. We were able to see him with the Royals, 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 2: also with the Raiders. Ali, you got to see the 50 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: big fights, not all of his fights, but yeah, I 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 2: get that. There was a even Mike Tyson when he 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: first started out, there was this oh my god, who 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 2: is this guy? And then all of a sudden you 54 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 2: saw him and then you realize, kid dynamite was here 55 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: to stay. That was the Sports Illustrated cover in nineteen 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: eighty six. But I mentioned that we get caught up 57 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: in Bo Jackson his NFL career and was he wonderful. Yes, 58 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: in a brief whatever window. That was just like baseball, 59 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: he tanneled. He teased us, It's like, oh my gosh, 60 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: this is different. That speed, that power, that arm in baseball, 61 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: that speed, that power in the NFL, and it was 62 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 2: just incomplete. And then you know, I said, you know, 63 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: Bo is a great running back. But I believe Jim Harball, 64 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 2: the quarterback, had more rushing yards than Bo Jackson. And 65 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, I can see the Danets heads. 66 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: They're exploding. They're like, no, not Jim Harball. Yes, because 67 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: Jim Harball played a long time in the NFL, and 68 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: I think he has a few more yards than Bo 69 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: Jackson career wise. 70 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:02,839 Speaker 3: Yes. 71 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 5: Yeah, my computer was shut down when I try to 72 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 5: search this because I didn't believe this was an actual topic. 73 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 5: Bo Jackson had twenty seven hundred and eighty two rushing yards. 74 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 5: Jim Harbaugh had twenty seven hundred and eighty seven rushing yards, five. 75 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: More bonus coverage. 76 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 5: Bo Jackson sixteen rushing touchdowns in his career, Jim Harbaugh eighteen. 77 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: Stand of the day, Stant of the day, start out 78 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 2: the day, scant of a day. 79 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 3: This is the stule of. 80 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: The day, drawn to you by BANDI America. And haven't 81 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: both of these great runners had hip surgery? Bo did, 82 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 2: and I think Jim Harbaugh just had hip surgery. You 83 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: know it happens to the great running runners of all time. 84 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, palling to be fair, I checked Bo Jackson's zero 85 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 5: career passing yards. 86 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,720 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, unfortunately h better player Harball or bo jahnckson 87 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 2: that old topic. So I don't know if it went 88 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 2: as scripted last night because of Ace Bailey that there 89 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: were teams he didn't want to go to didn't want 90 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: to work out for which I have no problem with that. 91 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: I you know, the problem I'd have is if he said, Hey, 92 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: I'm going to go to Philadelphia work out, then all 93 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: of a sudden he doesn't work out. If he says 94 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: or his agent says, he doesn't want to go there, 95 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: doesn't want to go to Charlotte, he would like to 96 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: go to Washington or Brooklyn. Well, Danny Ainge was like, 97 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm taking the best player available. I'm 98 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,239 Speaker 2: taking you. I don't think he wanted to go to Utah. 99 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 2: He didn't seem too thrilled. Who is the kid who's 100 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: going to Toronto? Because he was not thrilled at all. 101 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 3: What's his name? 102 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 2: Colin something Something, Colin Murray Boyles, Oh, I don't know. 103 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: When they said, you know and the Toronto Raptors select 104 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: and then he might have had a one word response there. 105 00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: Marvin sure did he shook his head at first. I 106 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: don't know if it's I think he was upset. I 107 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: think his girlfriend was upset as well, by the way 108 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: he won the lottery last night. He was in the 109 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 2: lottery and yes he did, Yes he did. 110 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 3: She plays in South Carolina, right she does.

I would throw 177 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 5: Pete Marovich in there, one of your favorite players, because 178 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 5: his best work was done at LSU and there's very 179 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 5: little video, and guys of my age and I'm not young, 180 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 5: didn't see any of it. To me, that's mythological. 181 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's averaging forty four forty five a game. 182 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 2: I mean, we talked about Wilt averaging fifty in the NBA. 183 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: I would say for a generation that didn't see Michael Jordan, 184 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: I could understand the mythological feel. If you're in your twenties, 185 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 2: then you probably go, man, I got to see some 186 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 2: highlights here. But there's so much more available to see 187 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 2: Michael Jordan's career than a lot of these other players 188 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 2: like Wilt you know, some of the greats of the 189 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: Oscar Robertson. Most people saw Oscar when he played for 190 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 2: Milwaukee when he wasn't Oscar Robertson. He was just a 191 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: great point guard. But that was Kareem's team, and that 192 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,719 Speaker 2: wasn't a great team. You want to talk about what 193 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 2: Lebron did with the Cabs and taking them to the 194 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 2: NBA Finals, Kareem with that Milwaukee team, that wasn't a 195 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: great team. I mean, if you look at that roster, 196 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: you know they I don't think there was anybody close 197 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: to being a Hall of Famer on there. Bobby Dandridge 198 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: was on there, but you know, John McLaughlin, I'd have 199 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: to look or reminiscent about that. Lucius Harris might have 200 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: been on that team too. Yes, Marvin Bobby Danger's Hall 201 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 2: of Famer, Okay, but yeah, that roster was on a 202 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: great roster and they didn't have a legendary coach. Larry 203 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 2: Costello was the coach for that team. But yeah, uh, 204 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: you know when you have Luel Sindor a coach, it helps. 205 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's what time practices. Guys. 206 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: It's like they interview the Mont Verde coach last night 207 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 2: and he you would have thought he was John Wooden. 208 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 2: You know, he's talking about all these great players that 209 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 2: he's had. I mean, it's a prep school, and you 210 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: know they keep saying this could be the greatest high 211 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 2: school team of all time. Well, you're trying to get 212 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: the best players to go there. It's not like it's 213 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 2: a local high school team. 214 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 5: They didn't play together in eighth grade. 215 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: No, no, no, So when we go greatest you know 216 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: O Kill used to do this back in the day. Man, 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: this could be the best high school team ever. It's 218 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 2: a training academy. I like to think the best high 219 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 2: school team of all time is players who are from 220 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 2: the area who went to the high school there, not 221 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 2: Mont Verde. 222 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I'm not besmirching Mont Verdi's academics because it 223 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 5: might be a great school. But I've met the Cooper 224 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 5: flag was late to a class. He's not sitting in 225 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 5: detention for an hour like a normal public high. 226 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 3: School yeah, yes, Dylan. Well, that's like IMG Academy in Florida. 227 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 4: They're like they just beat up everyone by one hundred 228 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,839 Speaker 4: points and like they I think they sold the school 229 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 4: for like a billion dollars because it's just like a 230 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: training factor. 231 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 8: Yes. 232 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 2: Yes, So when we talk about great high school teams 233 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: of all time, let's put it in perspective. Are you 234 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: from the area around the high school? That's where I 235 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 2: would start. I remember what was it Calvert Calvert Hall 236 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,439 Speaker 2: in Baltimore. Uh, that was a they were a powerhouse. 237 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: I mean there's been great, great teams, Uh, Eastern High 238 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 2: and DC. 239 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: I mean there go down the Ourbon Day. 240 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: I remember that back back at damatho was great. 241 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 3: Morgan Wooten, Yeah, PAULI, But like mont Bird, they rot. 242 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 5: Verdy's not like a normal high school where the JV 243 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 5: is a bunch of guys like me, you know, the 244 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 5: JV squad. It is probably a second team all Americans. 245 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone calls coming up.

I told him. 272 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: I said, hey, there's been a lot of positivity and 273 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 2: then you go, I know, but you know, sometimes it's 274 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: okay if you recognize something I did wrong. 275 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 3: I said, Okay, that's that whole thing is what you 276 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 3: just want to be talked about, isn't that said? 277 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 9: You would like? 278 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 8: Why why? 279 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 6: Why would someone need that? How much attention do you need? 280 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 3: I've been trying to figure this out for over twenty years. 281 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 6: Go about your business. 282 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 7: If people want to talk about it, great, but don't like, 283 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 7: look forward or encourage it's not necessary. 284 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 3: Alrighty uh do you have the pole? So we have 285 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: the pole question for hour two? Right, dylly? Yep? 286 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: Who's the most mythical athlete of all time? I only 287 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: had four slots, so it's Babe Ruth, Wilt, Jordan or other. 288 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 3: Mm hmmmm, so Bo, Babe Wilt, Babe. 289 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: Wilt, and Jordan unless we're ruling out Jordan from that. 290 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 2: Well, you know, a different generation who didn't see him 291 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 2: on a nightly basis. Bo Jackson probably more so because 292 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: you know, he played in Kansas City, played for the Raiders, 293 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 2: but didn't play a long time for either Like he 294 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: could have been a Hall of Famer in either sport 295 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,800 Speaker 2: if he had picked either sport, but the whole and 296 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: I always thought there was a little tension between him 297 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: and Dion because Bo may have looked at Dion as 298 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: you're doing this because of me. But Dion did it 299 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 2: at a very high level in baseball. And I don't 300 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 2: know how much longer he played than Bo, but you know, 301 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 2: the whole helicopter thing, and I don't know, it felt 302 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: like Bo did this. And then even when Bo was 303 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: running one time when Florida State played Auburn, and Dion 304 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: talks about, now, I was fast, but he wasn't Bo 305 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 2: Jackson fast. And he talked about when Bo put his 306 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: hand on his helmet almost as if you know he's 307 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: it's in church where they put their hands on your 308 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 2: head and then bless you and put him down on 309 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: the ground. When Dion tells that story, he's so animated. 310 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 3: Do you have that, Marvin? Okay, here's Dion. 311 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 8: When I played for Florida State as a freshman. True story. 312 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 8: Bou was at Alburn back in the back to Brent Fullard, 313 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 8: probably the best hand of the running backs I've ever 314 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 8: seen in college. These guys are unbelievable, and you know, 315 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 8: you know you heard a bout Jack, so you're kind 316 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 8: of in awe as a young collegiate. I'm seventeen years 317 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,040 Speaker 8: old playing Florida State eighteen at the time. Just during eighteen, 318 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 8: Bo goes behind the huddle in Auburn and throws his 319 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 8: hands up as if he was sick, designing the crowd 320 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 8: to get it up. They start cheering and appauding, and 321 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 8: I was playing left corner. BO got a sweep to 322 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,120 Speaker 8: his left away from me and hit it. I mean 323 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 8: hit it, and he was gone. I came out of 324 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 8: nowhere because that was I could fly, came and got him, 325 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 8: ran up on him like it was no other. With 326 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 8: his right arm, he extended it, placed it on my 327 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 8: helmet like as if he was praying for me, palming 328 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 8: my helmet and stiff me down and kept going into 329 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 8: the end zone that I wasn't even there. That was 330 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 8: my Bojackson moment. 331 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 3: I could fly and he hit it. 332 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, you could find this clip on YouTube and 333 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 5: it's exactly like he said. 334 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: That's great. 335 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break.

Other than are the Pelicans being stupid careless? 364 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 2: We're moving up ten spots. They move up ten spots 365 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 2: to take Queen, right, So, okay, nice player, but you're 366 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 2: giving up an unprotected first round pick next year that, 367 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 2: by all accounts, is probably going to be a lottery pick. 368 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 2: At least a lottery pick. Maybe it's going to be 369 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: more than that. Ohkay, you imagine Lanta Hall And I 370 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: think the Hawks have done well here in the offseason. 371 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 2: I think they've done well. I don't know what they're 372 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: going to do with Trey Young, they have to extend him, 373 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: but I think they've got some young players. Porzingis, but 374 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 2: I think they did Okay, they'd okay, yes, Marvin. 375 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 3: The Hawks as a franchise, it's just so nondescript. 376 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: Well, I go back to when Well Maravich was there 377 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:38,959 Speaker 2: and then got to see Dominice in person when I 378 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 2: was living in Atlanta, And yeah, they didn't draw a 379 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: crowd unless they were playing a really good basketball team. 380 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 2: If the Celtics came to town, or the Bulls came 381 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 2: to town, or the Knicks came to town. 382 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 3: There'd be a big crowd there. 383 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: There's always a crowd around Mike Floria because he's really popular. 384 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 2: He is a football in I hope to graduate one 385 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: day to be a football insider. Do you guys have 386 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 2: like a newsletter? Like you stay in touch with Glazier 387 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 2: and Chefty and are their dues, you know, like tight 388 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: End University, the NFL insider you and Rapaport. 389 00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 7: Well, I think the reality is if there was a 390 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 7: club of insiders, I'd be the outsider. 391 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 3: It's true. Can the NFL Draft get any bigger? 392 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 6: No? No, but it will. They just stumble into things. 393 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 7: It's amazing the NFL's business model just kind of float along, 394 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 7: and when something happens it looks like adversity, it turns 395 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 7: into a positive. The reason the draft became this traveling 396 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 7: road show with hundreds of thousands of people is because 397 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 7: they had a conflict in twenty fifteen at Radio City 398 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 7: Music Hall because there was an Easter spectacular that conflicted 399 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 7: with the preferred day of the draft. So the NFL said, well, 400 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 7: we got to go somewhere else. Let's go to Chicago. Hey, 401 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 7: that was pretty good. Let's go back to Chicago. So hey, 402 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,639 Speaker 7: let's go somewhere else. Let's go to Philly. And that 403 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 7: was the moment that shot. I still remember it, the 404 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 7: shot of the thousands of people by the library there. 405 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 6: It's like, oh Man, the draft is different now and 406 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 6: it's going to. 407 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 7: Keep growing and growing, but relative to everything else. 408 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 6: It can't get much bigger. It can't. 409 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 7: And it's amazing because they could do it by a 410 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 7: group text if they wanted to. 411 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: Well, it's like Coachella. 412 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 2: It's a music festival for the NFL, and it's Pittsburgh 413 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 2: next year. I don't know did they decide on the 414 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 2: following year d d Okay. 415 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 7: National Mall, but they aren't Dan. There was some reporting 416 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 7: I think from Sports Business Journal. They're trying to find 417 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 7: more stuff they can drop. Tuesday, Wednesday, the fourth Draft, 418 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 7: Sunday extend it, have more reasons to have more people 419 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 7: show up beyond Thursday, Friday, Saturday. 420 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 2: We got a couple of teams with some stadium deals. 421 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 2: It feels like, you know, Cleveland, I guess going to 422 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 2: be moving out of downtown. Washington wants to move back 423 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 2: into downtown. The Bears are they moving out? Like, what's 424 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 2: going on with these teams and stadiums. 425 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 7: Well, you've got the Browns that look to be moving 426 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 7: to suburban Brook Park. They're putting the pieces in place 427 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 7: to make that happen. The Bengals have a deal to 428 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,680 Speaker 7: State put at pay Course Stadium in Cincinnati, reportedly until 429 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 7: the middle of the next next decade with the. 430 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 6: Bears and also with Washington. 431 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 7: You know, this was presented when the deal was done 432 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 7: with great fanfare. There's the commissioner, there's owner Josh Harris, 433 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 7: there's the mayor of d C. 434 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 6: We have a deal. We have a deal. 435 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 7: Well wait a minute, we don't have a deal because 436 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 7: the DC Council has to approve it. And I think 437 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 7: it's getting harder and harder Dan to get the kind 438 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,959 Speaker 7: of public money that you need to build these stadiums, 439 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 7: because I'd say the appetite of the average taxpayer is 440 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 7: why why are you using public money when these franchises 441 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 7: are worth more more all the time ten billion minimum 442 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 7: after the Lakers recent sale that had evaluation of the 443 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 7: franchise at ten billion. 444 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 6: So pay for it yourself. 445 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 7: And I was making that point earlier this week because 446 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 7: Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania Governor, said some things that initially 447 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 7: were misinterpreted by the ap But ultimately the message is 448 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 7: we're not going to be given out a ton of 449 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 7: public money here at some point, pay for it yourself. 450 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 6: You know, Dan, when you go to the grocery store. 451 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 7: The grocery store is there for the benefit of the public, right, 452 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 7: we all going to buy our groceries. I never hear 453 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 7: stories about the government giving the grocery store chains millions 454 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 7: and billions of dollars to build their stores. 455 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 6: And that's what a football stadium is. It's a big 456 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 6: store that they lure thousands. 457 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 7: Of people too. Why is it something that the public 458 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 7: has to pay for. The people putting on the show 459 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,159 Speaker 7: are the ones that should be expected to pay for. 460 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 2: He's Mike Florio Pro Football Talk Live co host that 461 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: show Precedes Hours with Chris Sims and his book's Father 462 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 2: of Mine, Son of Mine, available in ebook form on 463 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 2: Amazon for only ninety nine cents. The collusion story that 464 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 2: you and Pablo Torre colluded on to talk about the collusion, 465 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 2: how did okay, let's do it for the fan? Does 466 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: the fan? Should the fan care about this? 467 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 7: Well, the fan doesn't care about it because I think 468 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 7: one of the problems is the fan just assumes that 469 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 7: that's how business is done. They assume the NFL is 470 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 7: one giant company and the teams are thirty two branches, 471 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 7: and they coordinate and collude all the time. 472 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 6: The problem is that they are thirty two separate businesses. 473 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 7: They shouldn't be colluding, conspiring, coordinating on anything that doesn't 474 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 7: fall within one of. 475 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,360 Speaker 6: Their anti trust exemptions. 476 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 7: They've got a broadcast anti trust exemption, and they've got 477 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 7: an anti trust exemption to deal with their union generally, 478 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,199 Speaker 7: not with the players individually. 479 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 6: And I think the question is, and I just got 480 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 6: to text. 481 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 7: A little bit ago that is going to spark another 482 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 7: story at PFT, how widespread is this collusive activity that. 483 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 6: We finally have found evidence of. Even though the. 484 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 7: NFL won the grievance they were caught with their hand 485 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 7: in the collusion cookie jar, how else are they doing it? 486 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 7: For example, are they doing it with coaches? I believe 487 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 7: they are. I've believed for years that they collude when 488 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 7: it comes to coaches to hold down what coaches made. 489 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 7: There's no salary cap, right, but there's also no salary floor. 490 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 7: They collude, I believe, on all sorts of things because 491 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 7: they operate as one company even though they're supposed to 492 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 7: be competing. 493 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 6: And the point I made, and I don't. 494 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 7: Know if you've talked about the text messages between Dean 495 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 7: Spanos and Michael Bidwell Spanos congratulates Bidwell on getting Cardinal's 496 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,200 Speaker 7: quarterback Kyler Murray signed to a contract that wasn't fully guaranteed, 497 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 7: and Spano says, this helps with our quarterback. You know 498 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 7: the point I've been making, Dan does the CEO of 499 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 7: PEPSI call up the CEO of Coke and say, congratulations 500 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 7: on getting your director of research signed to this contract 501 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 7: because now we can use the same term. 502 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 6: So no, they're incompetition. 503 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 7: But I think because the average fan just assumes there's 504 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 7: a certain amount of arm locking, they don't care. 505 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 6: But they should care. 506 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 7: They should care because it's an example of how business 507 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 7: gets done in ways that it shouldn't get done. 508 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: Any fallout from this, like what's next, Well, it. 509 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 7: All depends upon I believe what the players do now. 510 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 7: Will the players who are in charge of the union 511 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,719 Speaker 7: push back against union management which hid this thing for 512 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 7: five and a half months, that's the biggest part of this. 513 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 7: Then the players union through that ruling on January fifteen. 514 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 6: January fourteen, excuse me of twenty twenty five. 515 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 7: They acquired a hammer that they could use against the 516 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 7: NFL in a lot of different ways. 517 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 6: And what did they do? 518 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 7: They stuck it in a drawer and locked it for 519 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 7: five and a half months until Pablo finally got it, 520 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 7: and I credited him forgetting it because I tried every 521 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 7: way I possibly could, and I'm going to take some 522 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 7: credit because I kept banging and banging and banging to 523 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,880 Speaker 7: get people to understand this thing's out there and it's 524 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,679 Speaker 7: important and somebody needs to get it, especially because they 525 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 7: were hiding it. I understand why the league hit it, 526 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 7: because the league looks bad. I don't understand why the 527 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 7: Union hit it. And it all comes down to whether 528 00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 7: or not the players who are in leadership positions at 529 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 7: the Union insist on more and whether they take this 530 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 7: thing now and finally do use it as a hammer 531 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 7: and find other ways to push and pressure the NFL to. 532 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 6: Get a better overall deal for the players. 533 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: I know that we've talked a lot, You've talked a lot. 534 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: Everybody's talked a lot about Aaron Rodgers with the Steelers, 535 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: and I feel like we don't separate Rogers the football 536 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 2: player from Rogers the person and his opinions, and he 537 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: can be polarizing. I just want to know the football 538 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,360 Speaker 2: part of this with Aaron Rodgers. I know with his age, 539 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 2: but with that team. I know he says that this 540 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,679 Speaker 2: is it a one year deal, but what are your 541 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 2: expectations for this team? 542 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 7: Well, first of all, when he said the other day 543 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 7: he's pretty sure this is it, I mean, is that 544 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 7: really anything that we. 545 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 6: Didn't already believe? Yeah, we're all pretty sure this is it. 546 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 7: He's in his early forties, he's had injuries, he's been 547 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 7: banged up. 548 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,679 Speaker 6: His mobility isn't what it used to be. 549 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 7: But what I think, Dan, when you look at Rogers, 550 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 7: the quarterback, the thrower, the arm is still there. And 551 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 7: if he can resist his temptation to try to run 552 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 7: like he used to, because I think that's how he's 553 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 7: going to get himself hurt. 554 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 6: He's got to adopt the. 555 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 7: Tom Brady late career mindset of the moment, I feel 556 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 7: the walls closing in, I'm getting rid of the ball now. 557 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 7: For Rogers, who regards his touchdown to interception ratio as 558 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 7: the thing that makes him the best of all time, 559 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 7: he might not be as inclined as Brady was to 560 00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 7: just throw the ball up into the air. 561 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 6: And we saw Brady do it over and over again. 562 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 7: He did it multiple times in the NFC Championship game 563 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 7: that the Buccaneers eventually won over Rogers, and the Packers 564 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 7: went in doubt, get rid of it if it gets 565 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,000 Speaker 7: picked off, So what, at least I didn't get blown up. 566 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 7: That's the key Rogers has to prioritize not getting hit. 567 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 6: He's got to get rid of the ball. 568 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 7: He's got to get the ball down the field and 569 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 7: he can't try to run with it. 570 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 6: He's got to play like he did. Remember the year 571 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 6: that he had the. 572 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,440 Speaker 7: Calf injury and he stayed in the middle of the pocket. 573 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 7: He's got to play like he's got that calf injury, 574 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 7: because if he starts getting hit, he will have a 575 00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 7: calf injury and a knee injury, and a hip injury, 576 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 7: and rib injuries and a shoulder injury. Because these guys 577 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 7: literally are half his age that are chasing him around. 578 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,239 Speaker 2: Now, who came up with the you know he's the 579 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 2: best thrower of the football of all time? Okay, well, 580 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: but because if somebody said somebody is, he's the most 581 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 2: athletic basketball player I've ever seen, or he throws the 582 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 2: ball harder than any pitcher ever. My first my follow 583 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 2: up question or first question would be, well, was he successful? 584 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 2: So you have the best greatest thrower of the football. 585 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 3: I don't know what that means. 586 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 7: Well, what it means is and I read the I 587 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 7: O'Connor biography last year. You know when you walk out 588 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 7: onto a field and you're standing there and you hear 589 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 7: a sound and you don't know what the hell the 590 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 7: sound is, and you realize it's the sound that the 591 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 7: ball makes when Aaron Rodgers throws it that few others 592 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 7: can make. That's what makes him the great thrower. And 593 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 7: I defer to Chris Simms on this stuff. He's lived 594 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 7: in and around it his whole life. He was an 595 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 7: NFL quarterback, his dad was an NFL quarterback. And when 596 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 7: he raised about Roger was being the greatest he's ever seen. 597 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 6: And the problem is, Yeah, you went to one super Bowl, 598 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 6: and there's a hell. 599 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 7: Of a story to be told one of these days 600 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 7: on why the Packers failed to ever go back to 601 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 7: another Super Bowl. They had it against the Seahawks in 602 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 7: the twenty fourteen NFC Championship and through you know, an 603 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 7: unprecedented This had to go wrong, This had to go wrong, 604 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 7: This had to go wrong, This had to go wrong. 605 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 7: They would have gone back and would have played the 606 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 7: Patriots that year. But how can Rogers have only been 607 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 7: to one super Bowl in his entire career when you 608 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,719 Speaker 7: consider just how effortless, and it's like it's a lot 609 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 7: of Patrick Mahomes, it's some John Elway. Just an arm 610 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 7: that is rare and special, and I think that's what 611 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 7: set him apart. But one super Bowl appearance and a 612 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 7: couple of bad years with the Jets, and I think 613 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 7: he's just looking for something to end his career that 614 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 7: will make people forget about his time in New York. 615 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 2: Well, he's not the best quarterback of all time, but 616 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: it feels like we want to have a designation because 617 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: of you know, what he accomplished, But to me, it 618 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 2: leads to the follow up of what he didn't accomplished. 619 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 2: The greatest thrower of the football, and then you look 620 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,320 Speaker 2: at the losses. 621 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: You know, regular. 622 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: Season stats are incredible, what four MVPs, all of those things. 623 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 2: I just it's weird how it's supposed to be a 624 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 2: compliment but it kind of brings about a yeah, but 625 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 2: it feels like he underachieved. 626 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 7: Well, that's right, and that's why I think he gets 627 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 7: sensitive about it and he only wants to say so 628 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 7: much about it. Let's talk about my touchdown to interception 629 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 7: ratio and nothing else, right, and nothing else because let's 630 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 7: not talk about championships. 631 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,000 Speaker 6: Let's not talk about Super Bowl appearances. 632 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 7: And when you think about the embarrassment of riches the 633 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 7: Packers have had at quarterback since Brett Farv replaced Don 634 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 7: Mkowski during a nineteen ninety two regular season game. They 635 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 7: go from Farv to Rodgers and now Jordan Love. We 636 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 7: don't know which way it's really going to skew for him, 637 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 7: but all those years of Farv and Rogers and to 638 00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 7: have only two super Bowl wins to show for it, 639 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,080 Speaker 7: when the Patriots got six with Tom Brady, Yeah you 640 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 7: got two, and there's plenty of teams that would love 641 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,479 Speaker 7: to have won. But man, what a disappointment to have 642 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 7: two of the all time greats and only have two 643 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 7: additional championships. 644 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: Speaking of Pittsburgh, I don't know if this could be 645 00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 2: a package deal of Aaron Rodgers one year and Mike 646 00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 2: Tomlin because now they're back into the we're going to 647 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 2: need a quarterback that once, you know, Rogers leaves, and 648 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 2: if they don't, let's say they don't make the playoffs. 649 00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: Let's say they go out in the first round. 650 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 2: I get some point we can credit Mike Tomlin for 651 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 2: being a Hall of Fame coach. But just like we've 652 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 2: done with John Harbaugh and Baltimore, like after a while, 653 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 2: and John Harball's got the league MVP, you know, as 654 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 2: his quarterback. So I just wonder Mike Tomlin might be 655 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: getting to that sweet spot of I can go into 656 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 2: TV right now and make a whole lot more money 657 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,680 Speaker 2: and have a lot less headaches, and I'm going into 658 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. 659 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 7: Hey, Dan, I've lived in around Pittsburgh my whole life, 660 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 7: and the way the Steelers are behaving this offseason is 661 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 7: unlike anything they've ever done. The contract they gave the 662 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 7: Dk Metcalf market value for a guy who's never played 663 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:52,240 Speaker 7: for the team before. 664 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 6: They have never done that. 665 00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 7: They only get market value to their own players that 666 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 7: they have, that they know, that they trust, and they 667 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 7: believe in their taking a roll of the dice with Metcalf, 668 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 7: and then they assume the position for two plus months 669 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 7: with Aaron Rodgers. And I look, I fully believe that 670 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,240 Speaker 7: Mike Tomlin knew he was getting Aaron Rodgers. They decided 671 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 7: it was less of a distraction if he's not on 672 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 7: the team and not at offseason workouts, then if he's 673 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 7: on the team and not at offseason workouts. But still, 674 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 7: it feels like a level of desperation to end what 675 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 7: will be a nine year streak. 676 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:24,880 Speaker 6: Of no playoff wins. 677 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 7: That's the longest the Steelers have gone between postseason wins 678 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 7: since they finally got their first win December twenty three, 679 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 7: nineteen seventy two, in the Immaculate Reception Game. So I 680 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 7: feel like there's a desperation there. And if they fail 681 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 7: to win a playoff game this year, what happens next. 682 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 7: I don't think they'll ever fire Tomlin. Maybe Tomlin will 683 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,880 Speaker 7: decide it's time to move on. Maybe the Steelers will decide, 684 00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:48,000 Speaker 7: you know what, if there's somebody else out there that 685 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 7: wants to give us multiple first round picks, the John 686 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:51,880 Speaker 7: Gruden package for Mike. 687 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 6: Tomlin, maybe we'll take it. 688 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 7: I'm not saying they will, but the level of desperation 689 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,720 Speaker 7: I've seen this year tells me if they fail again, 690 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 7: we need to be ready for any thing in twenty 691 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,239 Speaker 7: twenty six. 692 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 2: Great to talk to you is always great work you 693 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 2: and Pablo, thanks for joining us, Mike, thank you, anthe 694 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: to you, buddy, Mike Florio Pro Football Talk, and his 695 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,480 Speaker 2: books Father of Mine and Son of Mine, available in 696 00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: ebook form on Amazon for only ninety nine cents. 697 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,080 Speaker 3: We'll be back.

I think it 715 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,320 Speaker 11: will be really cool if each team you know, selected 716 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 11: a maybe a kid fan that they uh they have 717 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 11: some content for whatever. Anyway, they give the kid a hat, 718 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,760 Speaker 11: a jersey, but then they also bring out a legend 719 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 11: from each team which with the logo ball and then 720 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,319 Speaker 11: when the player comes up, the legend really hands the 721 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,439 Speaker 11: ball over the kids there with the jersey and the hat, 722 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,839 Speaker 11: and then hey, if you got get just traded later on, 723 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 11: you can just pass the ball off to the next guy. 724 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 2: So yeah, but you miss your photo up.

It's not like they go, hey, hold on, commissioner, 731 00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 2: can we bring up, you know, Jimmy Lepper to get 732 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,800 Speaker 2: in this moment again, Yes, Mark Devil's Advocate. But is 733 00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 2: it really important about it's only important for you to 734 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 2: shake the commissioner's hand. You didn't dream about, Oh man, 735 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,840 Speaker 2: I hope I get picked by the Hawks of the Pelicans. No, 736 00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,799 Speaker 2: but you're up there, and it's the whole moment. It's 737 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,439 Speaker 2: the full package. It's they put a hat on you. 738 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 2: You go out there and you act like you know 739 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,279 Speaker 2: the commissioner is a loved one you haven't seen in 740 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 2: sixteen years.

Let's get 749 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,760 Speaker 12: rid of the hat and let's move to make given 750 00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 12: a team logo like dominant crushed boats slash predate for 751 00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,680 Speaker 12: the suits. 752 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I mean we're trying to move product. 753 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 3: Here is what we're trying to do. 754 00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 2: I'm just trying to take away that awkward moment of 755 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 2: A the hat looks stupid, and b if you happen 756 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,719 Speaker 2: to get traded, you're wearing this hat. 757 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 3: And you're going to another two. It was just weird. 758 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 2: I can I'm there with Pippin and Polonies and I 759 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 2: just remember when they announced they had been traded for 760 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 2: each other and they just swamped hats. They were like 761 00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,680 Speaker 2: three rows between them, and then you know, we were 762 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,279 Speaker 2: there interviewing I was interviewing olden polonies. But I just 763 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 2: remember Pippin was like three rows back and then they 764 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 2: just go, oh, you've been traded, And so your line 765 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 2: of questioning changed considerably when you're talking about olden polonies 766 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 2: and what do you know about Chicago? Next thing, you know, 767 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,799 Speaker 2: what do you know about Seattle? Kevin in Ohio? Hi, Kevin, 768 00:38:57,800 --> 00:38:59,800 Speaker 2: went's on your mind today? 769 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 12: Say good afternoon, DP. 770 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 7: Me. 771 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 8: Hey. 772 00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,480 Speaker 9: My question to you, sir, besides Cooper Flagg, who do 773 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 9: you think has the best chance to succeed? 774 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 2: You know, I I would probably just be guessing because 775 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,200 Speaker 2: somebody at eighteen going to be a whole lot different 776 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 2: than somebody at twenty three. Dylan Harper has the pedigree 777 00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 2: with his father that can help you understand the business 778 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 2: part of this. I like his size. You know, hopefully 779 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 2: he becomes a better shooter. But you're going to a 780 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 2: team that's a young team. You could be building something. 781 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 2: But you're also going to a team where their point 782 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 2: guard was the Rookie of the Year and Stefan Council 783 00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:51,440 Speaker 2: and you have dearon Fox. Feels like something's going to 784 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:52,759 Speaker 2: be done there with san Antonio. 785 00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 5: Yeah, Pull, there's just no way to know it's I'm 786 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,799 Speaker 5: looking at the twenty twenty draft. If I told you 787 00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 5: the number one pick, James Wiseman would be out of 788 00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:03,120 Speaker 5: the sport in five years and the twelfth pick, Tyrese 789 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 5: Haliburton would be on his way to being a superstar, 790 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 5: if not a superstar. 791 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,959 Speaker 2: And as I brought this up that the rookie last 792 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 2: year who played the most minutes was bub Carrington. He 793 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,799 Speaker 2: played for the Wizards. He was drafted fourteenth. Played the 794 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,720 Speaker 2: most minutes of any rookie last year. Jalen Wells drafted 795 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 2: thirty ninth, second most minutes. He played for the Grizzlies. 796 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 2: Stefan Castle was Rookie of the Year. He's drafted fourth. 797 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,839 Speaker 2: Eves Missy with the Pelicans drafted twenty first. So that's 798 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,000 Speaker 2: why you don't know how much are you playing because 799 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 2: you have to play because you're on a bad team, 800 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 2: and some of these other players where they're going to 801 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 2: be eased in. 802 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:44,279 Speaker 11: Reed. 803 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: Shepherd didn't play. He's the third pick and if you 804 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 2: saw him in the summer league, you're going he's going 805 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 2: to be a star. 806 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 6: He didn't play. 807 00:40:55,840 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 2: That's why when you're trying to handicap this Toomani kahmer Hi. 808 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, exactly. You don't know who he is. He 809 00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,360 Speaker 2: played for the Blazers the previous season. He played the 810 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,320 Speaker 2: most minutes of any rookie. He was drafted fifty second. 811 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 2: Sometimes when you go to a bad team, you get 812 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 2: an opportunity to play right away. Coming up, good idea, 813 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 2: bad idea. Commissioner Silver talks about the epidemic the Achilles 814 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:31,080 Speaker 2: tear more of your phone calls as well.
