Glad to have you on board. 4 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: Last night, another game that wasn't competitive, The Boston Celtics 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: pick up the win in Game five, try to close 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,240 Speaker 1: out the Miami Heat in Game six tomorrow. Miami shot 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: thirty two percent from the floor after shooting thirty three 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: percent in Game four. First team to shoot below thirty 9 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: five percent and consecutive playoff games in nine years. Also, 10 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: if you go back to Game five of the Western 11 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 1: Conference semifinals, fourteen of the last nineteen playoff games have 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: been decided by at least ten points. Stat of the day, 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: stat of the day, that past out of the day, 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: stat of the day. Here comes that what stat of 15 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: the day. You can never say, ever when it comes 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 1: to sports, when you say they have no chance, they 17 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: do have a chance because they're still playing. You know 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: who doesn't have a chance. The Brooklyn Nets, the Milwaukee Bucks, 19 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: the LA Lakers asked, the three Red Sox asked the oh, 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: three Yankees, Yeah this is over, and I witnessed this 21 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: first tend the Yankees and Red Sox. We're talking the 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: Red Sox. Some were congratulating the Yankees prior to Game four, 23 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: the media roughing up the Red Sox embarrassing. You're down 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: three games to none, You're gonna get swept by the Yankees. 25 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: And then they won, and it's like, okay, all right, gentlemen, 26 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: sweep black. That's nice. You know when you rub the 27 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 1: little guy's head. Now, that's a cute little win that 28 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: you add there. All of a sudden, they won another 29 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: game and they're like, oh hey, yeah, but you're still 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: down three games to two. And then in the back 31 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: of your mind it's like, look, they win Game six. 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: Then the pressure is on the Yankees. If you're the 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: Golden State Warriors, take care of business tonight. Don't give 34 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: Dallas any energy, any hope, any more hope than they 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: already have. Crazy things happen. Do I think the Boston 36 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: Celtics will win this series? Yes, I do. Miami is 37 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: too banged up. Dallas has to win three games, but Dallas. 38 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: I feel better about Dallas winning a series than I 39 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: do the Miami Heat. Now are the odds long, yes, 40 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: but they're not insurmountable because Dallas is healthy. All they 41 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,360 Speaker 1: have to do is make open shots because Golden State 42 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: playing his own defense, You're gonna have open shots if 43 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: you make them. Now, you put pressure on the Golden 44 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: State Warriors because they know got to win this one. 45 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: If we go back to Dallas, chances are they going 46 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: to win this one? Then we have a game seven. 47 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: Are the odds long? Yes? Are they insurmountable? Probably, But 48 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: never say never when it comes to this Age seven 49 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: seven three d P Show Email Drew SDP at dan 50 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle, a DP show mAbs Warriors 51 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 1: Game five coming up tonight. Jeff Van Gundy was on 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: the call last night for the Celtics and the Heat, 53 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: and we'll talk to Jeff. He'll join us coming up 54 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: here in a little bit. When we started the season, 55 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: the Nets were the betting favorites to win the title 56 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: and they struggled with injuries all season. They were swept 57 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: by the Celtics and the injuries obviously didn't help Brooklyn. 58 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: They didn't have depth. Kyrie was a distraction. And now 59 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: you have the off season here, what do you do 60 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irving? I liken this to somebody who buys 61 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: his stock and the stock is dipping. But then you go, okay, 62 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: But I should probably buy more because it's eventually going 63 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: to get better. But if you don't think the stock 64 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: is going to go back up, then don't invest any 65 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: more money in that stock. The Nets have a stock 66 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: with Kyrie Irving. The Sixers have a stock with James Harden. Okay, hey, 67 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: we gave up so much to get James Harden. We 68 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: can't get rid of him. So are you going to 69 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 1: compound the mistake by keeping him? Now you might go, well, 70 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: next year he'll be in shape. Okay, here getting older? 71 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: Does he care? And maybe maybe he's going to come back. 72 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, I think it was this past offseason 73 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: where people talked about, hey, James Harden, Hey he got 74 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: in shape. And then I saw James Harden. I go, 75 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: what shape do you He got in us? Shape? It's 76 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: not conducive to being in shape, but it's like, oh, 77 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: that's a different shape on an athlete. Yeah, ah shape. 78 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: But I'm going to ask Jeff van Gundy about this. 79 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 1: If you were going to let one or the two go, 80 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: if you're Philly or you're the Nets, do you let 81 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: Kyrie go? Do you let James Harden go? This is 82 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: part of the problem. Kde is friends with Kyrie. That's 83 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: part of the problem here. I mean, Joe l Embiid 84 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: came out and said, hey, this isn't the James Harden 85 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: that we saw in Houston. He's different. Okay, as you 86 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: move forward, he's further and further away from being that 87 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: dominating scorer. And that's what Joe ll Embid needs. By 88 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: the way, did you see where Jason Tatum echoed what 89 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: I've been saying for a couple of years. Now basketball 90 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: is positionless. We should not have the All NBA team. 91 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum knows. You should not be on the first 92 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: team All NBA. Great player, great year, he may win 93 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: a championship. Joe Ellenbiid should be on the first team 94 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: with Luca the joker. Now, people said, well, as Devin 95 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: Booker first team. If you're going to do guards, forwards 96 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: and a center and your team wins the most games 97 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: in the NBA, then you're probably going to be rewarded. 98 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: Do I look at Devin Booker as a first team 99 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: All NBA? Probably not good story. But if you said, 100 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: give me the five best players in basketball, Devin Booker 101 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: is not one of the five best players. Now you 102 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: can say, is Jason Tatum? Yeah, but if we're gonna 103 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,359 Speaker 1: do positions, that's part of the problem. I gotta have 104 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: two guards, two forwards in a center. And if we 105 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: didn't attach money to this, because there's money with Supermax 106 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: Deal's attached to this, then I would let it go. Yeah, 107 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: it's like you know, palming the basketball. It bothers me 108 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: when I watch it. It does. How do you watch it? 109 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: I mean, because there's no way to not watch it exactly. 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: And I'm thinking that's palming, and that's palming, and that 111 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: you're carrying the ball. You don't want to watch a 112 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 1: game with me because I'm focusing on all the craze. 113 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: Somebody will go, oh, it's an unbelievable move, and I go, yeah, 114 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: he carried the ball before he did it. Oh that 115 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,239 Speaker 1: dunked by John More. Yeah, he carried the ball before 116 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: he dunked. Yeah, pal I can fixture you saying this 117 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: to your dog? Is that why you have a dog? 118 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: To someone is actually in the dog won't watch the 119 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: game with me. No, She's like, oh my god, shut U. Well, 120 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: she barks that I'm just interpreting that. Poll question Seaton 121 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: from hour two is going to be well, Dan, we 122 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: can update you on the poll results from our one 123 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: which you came up with, which was great. All right, Yeah, 124 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: who has the better chance of winning two games in 125 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: a row? Right, the Heat or the MAVs? Do you 126 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: want to guess? I'll say the MAVs. The Heat as 127 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: a matter of fact of the audience think the Heat 128 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: have a better chance than the MAVs. Okay, Well, could 129 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: the MAVs win three games? And that's probably not going 130 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: to bode well because I think the MAVs have a 131 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: better chance of winning three than the Heat. Do too, Yes, 132 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: I look at why you were saying about how you 133 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: hate when people will say they have no chance, a 134 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: team has no chance. I was looking for games in 135 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one year in any sport that where 136 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: someone said they had no chance. I found one. This 137 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: was a first ballot, this team has no chance. Game 138 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: to thirty twenty one, the since Aint Bengals at the Jets. 139 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: The Bengals were rolling at five and three. The Jets 140 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: were two and five, and they had their backup quarterback 141 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: Mike White, who hadn't played football before in the professional level. Basically, 142 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: there were people who were saying the Jets have no chance. 143 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: This weekend, you know, hope, it's not that ugly. You 144 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: should skip this game. Mike White through for four and 145 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 1: five yards and three touchdowns and the Jets won against 146 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, who end up in the Super Bowl. But 147 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: that's one game. Yes, if you said you gotta win 148 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: three games or you have to win two games, that's 149 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 1: why you have these upsets when you have or surprises 150 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: when it's one game, like March Madness is filled with that, like, 151 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, that team. If you said you know 152 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: that some fifteen seed is gonna play you know, Lee 153 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: High is gonna play Duke ten times, Duke's gonna win 154 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: nine times. University of UMBC, University of Maryland, Baltimore County. 155 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: It beat Virginia sixteen over one. If they played ten times, 156 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: Virginia wins nine times by double digits. But that one 157 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: moment is what makes sports so great, and that's why 158 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: you can never say never, even though winning three in 159 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: a row is going to be almost insurmountable. But you 160 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: still have a chance because you get to play. It's 161 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: when you don't get a chance or you don't have 162 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: a chance, it's when you don't get back on the field. 163 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: You don't get that opportunity. Yeah, Mark, I was just 164 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: agreeing with you completely.

I don't know if a lot 330 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: of people actually followed through, you know, and change their 331 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: birth certificate or something over it. You have to go 332 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: to a court. You have to pay like four hundred bucks. Yeah, 333 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 1: and add that in into your name. Yeah. I never 334 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: told this one before, and this is gonna catch me 335 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: some heat. My sister is my older sister's Carrie Papsed, 336 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: and she's my parents spelt her name Kri, which I 337 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: didn't think was weird, but that's non traditional. I would 338 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 1: say k Ri right, it's usually Carrie Crrie. Her middle 339 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 1: name is her name is Carrie Lynn Paps. Growing up, 340 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 1: he's my older sister. About fifteen years ago, at my 341 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: sister's house and I was looking her driver's license because 342 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: she's got a new driver's license, and in the state 343 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: had a hologram or something. I can I see that? 344 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: She goes, yeah, yeah, I go, what the hell is this? 345 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,480 Speaker 1: What she was? You change her middle name? She was, Oh, yeah, 346 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,959 Speaker 1: I didn't tell you. She legally had her middle name 347 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 1: changed without telling anybody in the family. And she was, 348 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: you're surprised. I'm like, yeah, you're my sister. You've had 349 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: the same name for forty five years and you change it. 350 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: She changed it from Carrie Lynn to carry Grace. She 351 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: said she never liked the middle name Linn. It bothered her. 352 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: And she goes, I just went down to the courthouse 353 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: one day and said, it takes two hours, guest Todd. 354 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: And it's funny because no one ever really uses their 355 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,239 Speaker 1: middle name. No one ever really addresses you. And then 356 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: lets you're arrested for a crime, and they always put 357 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: your middle name in there. And that's like a serial 358 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: killer when you have like the three names. Yeah, yeah, 359 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 1: thank you, Todd. Has anyone in this room ever thought 360 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: I wish my name was something else? And you didn't 361 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: know if she followed through with it, you know where 362 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: You're like, I've never liked, like, my middle name is Edward. 363 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 1: It never bothered me. Paul Edward passed m But if 364 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: people called you Pep, they did pep pep. Well, my 365 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: initials were pp. So imagine second grade something called pepies. 366 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: We are doing a deep dive right now. Dude just 367 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: figured out the worst. Wow. I like that explains everything. 368 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: Taco Tuesday has been ruined for ever of some young 369 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 1: Ruffians so uninventive, dang rang. I hated my name when 370 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: I was growing up. It wasn't until I became like 371 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: an adult that I was like, Yeah, Patrick's a pretty 372 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: good name. But what do you think of Seaton? Oh? 373 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: I love it so yeah, I always liked it. Yeah, 374 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 1: but your dad loves Seaton Hall. Yeah. Did you try 375 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 1: to get into Seaton Hall? I did, and you so 376 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 1: I did not, But your application don't you say? I'm 377 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: my middle name is Seaton after Seaton Hall. I kind 378 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: of thought i'd be legacy in or something, you know 379 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, like Kent Dorfman. I kind of thought 380 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: that I would just be yeah, as my middle name 381 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: is Harvard. Though. I thought that I was going to 382 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: get into Harvard. I really, and I probably I probably 383 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: had a good chance at some point, but then I 384 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: really junior senior year, I kind of Yeah, Pa, my guess. 385 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: And I've never seen Seaton's high school transcripts. If he 386 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: had like a three point three in the middle name 387 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: was Seaton, They're like, oh, let's bump this kid in, 388 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 1: let's squeak. Come in. If your grades are like my 389 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: grades were in high school, it wasn't going to help 390 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 1: My school career can be tracked by now. Remember this 391 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: is the nineties. The longer my hair and the baggyar 392 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: my pants got the worst my grades did. And by 393 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: the time I left high school, I think I was 394 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: wearing like forty two's. Yeah, I mean like a forty 395 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: two waste. My jeans were gigantic. Shot at me. Yeah, 396 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: but you weren't doing yours on purpose too. Make a 397 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: statement there that I wish it was. I wish, Yes, 398 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: that actually had nothing to do with you, But I'm 399 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: glad we brought it down to you. Enough attention to 400 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: Todd being paid left. You're like the puppy that's like, hey, 401 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: and nobody's petting me, always petting me. Come here, all right, 402 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: I'll pet you. Yes, my given name could have been 403 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 1: University of Michigan and it wouldn't have gotten me in 404 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: there with my grades. Uh. Jeff Van Gundhi is on 405 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: the call. Somehow we make these segue. Jeff Van Gundi 406 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 1: is on the call for the Eastern Conference Finals. He 407 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: was in Miami last night. Now he goes up to 408 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: Boston as these earies shifts to Boston. Jeff welcome. Sounds 409 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 1: like the show's already in progress. Right earlier, I was 410 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: talking about Danny Ainge when he was the GM of 411 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: the Celtic. He traded down they won the lottery. He 412 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: traded down even though he'd loved Jason Tatum, And I 413 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: was wondering, why would you risk losing Jason Tatum? Because 414 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: what if the Lakers took Jason Tatum instead of Lonzo Ball? 415 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: Philadelphia loved Mark cal folks, but I was wondering that. 416 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,239 Speaker 1: As I'm watching Tatum last night, everybody looks at him 417 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,920 Speaker 1: and goes, He's a superstar, First Team All NBA. But 418 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: why do you think Danny Ainge ran the risk of 419 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: maybe missing out on Jason Tatum. Well, in retrospect, it 420 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: was a brilliant move because he got added compensation. He 421 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: probably knew that the Lakers were going to take Ball 422 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: and that from what he gathered, they were going to 423 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: take folks. And when you look back, you know, and 424 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: this of the hard things about drafting. It looks like 425 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,520 Speaker 1: a no brainer now, But back then I don't. I 426 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: don't remember anybody saying, oh, yeah, it's a no brainer 427 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: that Jason Tatum is should go one. And you know, 428 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: but now it looks ridiculous that Philadelphia did what it 429 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: did and the Lakers did what they did. All right, 430 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: let's get to last night's game. At what point does 431 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,640 Speaker 1: Eric Spoelstra, like, can you say anything day have your team? 432 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: Third quarter? Can he say anything to help them shoot better? No? 433 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: I think when you are in a funk like they 434 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: are shooting right now and really playing, you know, they 435 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 1: haven't not played well since the third quarter of you 436 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: know what? Game three? Yeah, they just haven't played well. 437 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 1: They haven't shot it well. And frankly, Dan, I think 438 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: they're not as talented as Boston is. I think Boston 439 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: is the most talented team left in the playoffs. I 440 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 1: think their size is overwhelming right now when Robert Williams 441 00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 1: is available, I just don't think they have good matchups. 442 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 1: And if Jimmy Butler can't get going with Tyler hero out, 443 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: I just don't see how they have any chance of 444 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 1: extending the series. As a coach, how can you differentiate 445 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,959 Speaker 1: between that guy is going to be our number one option, 446 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: that guy's are number two option, that guys are number 447 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 1: three option. And I point this out because Jason Tatum 448 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,359 Speaker 1: is the start. Jaylen Brown has to know his place 449 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: and then Marcus Smart has to know his place. Easier 450 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 1: said than done. But as a coach, how do you 451 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: do that where everybody sort of knows Like Pippa knew 452 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: his place with Jordan, you know you can go down 453 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: the McHale knew his place with Bird. I mean, the 454 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 1: game is littered with players who understand their role, but 455 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: it gets tricky when somebody thinks they're better than what 456 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: they are. So how do you get Jaylen Brown to understand, Hey, 457 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: as long as you're the second option, we're great, don't 458 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 1: try to be the number one guy. Well, I don't 459 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: know if you have to differentiate it like that where 460 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do is maximize the strengths of 461 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: your all your players. And what I think is hard 462 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 1: to do though, is not have the insidious nature of jealousy. 463 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 1: When someone like Tatum is First team All NBA, that 464 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: you're not jealous of that, and then that takes you 465 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: down a bad paths as a player. Jaylen Brown has 466 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: been outstanding in the in the playoffs, and he's had 467 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 1: a terrific year, and there's nothing he should not compare 468 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,720 Speaker 1: himself to Tatum. He should just like he's on a 469 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: great path himself. But a lot of players get the 470 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: waxed out about It's not even the players. Sometimes the 471 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: people around the players always want their guy to have more, 472 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: to get more recognition. And that's where I to me 473 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: where Milwaukee they've done a great job though you know 474 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: everyone knows Jannis is the guy, and Middleton and Holiday 475 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: they play great basketball. But there's no jealousy, there's you know, 476 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: no insidious relationships. And I think Boston hopefully is achieving 477 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: the same thing. We're talking to Jeff Van Gundy. He's 478 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 1: been on the call Eastern Conference. He's got Game six 479 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,159 Speaker 1: heat Celtics tomorrow night in Boston. You have to night 480 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: the Golden State Warriors in the Dallas Mavericks. If you're 481 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: Jason Kidd, what's your approach tonight in San Francisco. Well, 482 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: they've been in good shape in most of the games. 483 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,959 Speaker 1: They had obviously in Game three a horrendous shooting night, 484 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: But when you have someone as good as Donti, you 485 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,840 Speaker 1: always have a shot. And I don't expect them to 486 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: win tonight, but I do expect them to play an 487 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 1: outstanding game. I think they're gonna play hard. I think 488 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: they've done some really good things throughout the series, and 489 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: if don can get into the paint and flaps, the 490 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: defense will get good shots. And if they can get 491 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: good shots and make enough, they'll be in the game 492 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter and have a puncher's chance. You're 493 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: like Golden State or Boston. Like Boston. I've liked Boston 494 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 1: since the start of the playoffs. I just think their size, 495 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: the high end talent. I thought they made some great trades, 496 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: so their depth, and then their defense is just otherworldly. Now, 497 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: that is, if Robert Williams can remain somewhat healthy. I 498 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: think he's that important for their overall success. If I 499 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: said you had to make a choice, you can either 500 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: keep Kyrie if you're coaching the Nets, or you can 501 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: keep James Harden if you're coaching the Sixers. Who are 502 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: you keeping I don't know. I think it's hard to 503 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: determine that yet because he didn't see Hardened for very 504 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: long in Philly. I think both teams have championship aspirations. 505 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: They need those two guys to have enough talent to 506 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: be jet championship talented teams. And yet they both bring 507 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: dilemmas to their respective teams that you know are not 508 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 1: necessarily easy to resolve. So these are all the tough choices. 509 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:15,440 Speaker 1: You know, people that talk about they should let him go, 510 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: you know, like Kyrie let him go, right, Well, you 511 00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: don't have enough talent then if you let him go 512 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: to win a championship. So I think the thing, you know, 513 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: I think both teams keep those guys because without them, 514 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: they have no chance to compete for championships. I'll leave 515 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 1: you with this. Kevin Durant was asked last week the 516 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: center from the eighties or nineties who would flourish in 517 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 1: today's NBA? Who would you pick the centers from the 518 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: eighties or nineties? Yeah, who would flourish today? A lot 519 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: of them, Like, because the game would change if you 520 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 1: have that level of talent, you know, you and Elijahuan Robinson, 521 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 1: Shaquille O'Neill, Jabbar, like, they'd all be dominant right now. 522 00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: And people that don't understand greatness. Both people would absolutely 523 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: be great today because greatness, true greatness, is able to 524 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: play any style and any era. I picked a team. 525 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: He's one of my favorite players. I think he's one 526 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: of the more underrated players. If that's possible. Well, if 527 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: people are underrating him, they probably never saw him. The 528 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: combination of defensive ability and then offensive He could make 529 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: a seventeen footer. As he grew as an NBA player, 530 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: he became a much better passer, and then his footwork 531 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: like in the post was something to behold. He would 532 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: he would be dominant in any era. I don't I 533 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: don't know if if Elijah one, if you've seen him, 534 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,040 Speaker 1: if you could underwing him, he was just that good. 535 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: Safe travels, Jeff, thanks for joining us. You got it, 536 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,360 Speaker 1: Thanks Dan, Jeff van Gundy. He'll be on the call 537 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 1: for the Mother's Ship Eastern Conference Final. Eastern Conference Finals, 538 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,320 Speaker 1: don't shifting to Boston. A couple of phone calls Drew 539 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: in Kentucky, Hi, Drew, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan? 540 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: I just wanted to weigh in on the poll question. 541 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: All right, six foot seven, two hundred and thirty three pounds, 542 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 1: So I think that Dallas definitely has the better chance 543 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: because the Warriors turn the ball over. That's been historically 544 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: what they've done, like over their run. So I think 545 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,320 Speaker 1: if they're in a game and they can shoot, you know, 546 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: to the standard that it would take for them to 547 00:32:58,240 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: stay in the game, I think they definitely have the 548 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: the better chance of the two. And also it just 549 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: seemed to the Heat are obviously lost without Tyler Hero 550 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 1: and I think that Van Gundy kind of alluded to it. 551 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: Williams has done a great job for Boston, and I 552 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: think it just favors the MAVs, especially tonight, with the 553 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,240 Speaker 1: way that they play. The Warriors like to get up 554 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: and down shoot the ball, and you just want to 555 00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: put a little pressure on Golden State, make them think, 556 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,000 Speaker 1: thank you, Drew, you know you win this game, go 557 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,160 Speaker 1: back to Dallas if you would win that game. Now, 558 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: now it's up for grabs with anybody in a game seven. 559 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: It's saying a lot, asking a lot, expecting a lot, 560 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: but there is still that possibility. Austin and Cincinnati, then 561 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Hey Austin, what's on your mind? 562 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 1: Hop up? Hey? First on Long Time six two two fifty. 563 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,680 Speaker 1: I got a whose career would you rather have Oo, 564 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: Joey Vodo or Dale Junior, Dale Junior, Dale Junior or 565 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: Joey Vodo So so Dale Earnhardt Junior. Yep, Okay, I'm 566 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:18,240 Speaker 1: gonna take Dale. Three of them. I'm gonna take Dale Junior. Yeah, Polly, 567 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: Joey Vado won an MVP at age twenty six. I 568 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: think he's like a six or seven time All Star. 569 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to the Hall of Fame. 570 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,320 Speaker 1: Dale Junior won some racist Daytona, didn't win a Cup title, 571 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 1: is a beloved NASCAR nine. His fan base is I 572 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,719 Speaker 1: would gigantic. I would take Dale Junior's career. Yeah, I 573 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: hear you. I would. I would, And I think you 574 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: have to look at Joey Votto's career to realize what 575 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: he's accomplished. But I don't he's going to be in 576 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: the Hall of Very Good, I think because at his age, 577 00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:52,959 Speaker 1: how many more years is he going to play? Yeah, Polly, 578 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: you know what, He's a career three hundred hitter. Yeah, 579 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: he's got himself three and thirty three home runs. He 580 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: was top five for mv EP five times. How many 581 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: hits does he have? Do you have two thousand thousand. Yes, seton, 582 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: do you want to do a because this is probably 583 00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: the most impressive thing about his career. You want to 584 00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 1: do a quick career salary? Well, I don't know what 585 00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: Dale Junior has made overall. Like if I look at 586 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:21,720 Speaker 1: business and everything else that goes along with Nascar, Junior 587 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 1: was probably making forty million dollars a year as a driver. 588 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: Joey Vota scoffs at forty million. Let's take a break, 589 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,920 Speaker 1: let's we can do career set Who who would have 590 00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,360 Speaker 1: thought we'd be doing career salary with Joey Votto and 591 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: Dale Junior today. Dale Junior is going to join us 592 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: tomorrow on the program.

He's part of 614 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: the broadcast team. Colin Kaepernick completed his workout with the 615 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders, according to a source, first workout with 616 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: an NFL team since being exiled. He was going to 617 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: meet with the Seahawks back in May of twenty seven. 618 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: Team he flew to Seattle to meet with the Seahawks. 619 00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: They passed on the opportunity to sign him. I thought 620 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: Seattle was going to be the place that they that 621 00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: he would land. I thought Pete Carroll seemed open to it. 622 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson wouldn't be threatened by Colin Kaepernick, but Kaepernick 623 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:22,160 Speaker 1: got a chance for the workout, and Al Davis would 624 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: have no problems signing Colin Kaepernick. And maybe Mark Davis, 625 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:29,520 Speaker 1: his son, is trying to follow in his father's footsteps 626 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:31,840 Speaker 1: because Al Davis did a lot of operation. You know, 627 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 1: he created a lot of opportunities for people. The NFL's 628 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 1: first black head coach was Artschell first woman CEO Amy Trask. 629 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:45,600 Speaker 1: That was in the modern era. Al Davis was also 630 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:50,520 Speaker 1: the first team owner to draft a black quarterback in 631 00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: the first round, Eldridge Dickey drafted him in the first round. 632 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,880 Speaker 1: Al Davis is the second team owner to high Hispanic 633 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 1: head coach Tom Flores. I don't know if Mark Davis 634 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:10,560 Speaker 1: is being truthful in bringing him in, wanting to bring 635 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: him in giving him a true I guess tryout. I 636 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: hope he's not being disingenuous because there's a lot of 637 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,400 Speaker 1: things going on with the Raiders behind the scenes, including 638 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 1: what's going on in the front office. They're under investigation 639 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 1: from the NFL. Some people have been fired or let go. 640 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 1: You have what's going on with John Gruden his lawsuit there. 641 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is taken out of the 642 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,800 Speaker 1: Daniel Snyder playbook, and I don't like being cynical. I 643 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: hope somebody if they want to bring in Colin Kaepernick, 644 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,400 Speaker 1: then give him a chance. Why now, what has changed? 645 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: You signed up your quarterback. You've got Nick Mullins and 646 00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 1: Jared Stidham as your backups. Okay, they're okay, I mean 647 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,040 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins is capable. Jared Stidham, we don't know. But 648 00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you say to Josh McDaniels and 649 00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, hey, we're going to bring in Colin Kaeprick, 650 00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: I'm assuming you would, just so they don't get blindsided 651 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,840 Speaker 1: by the media saying, hey, what do you think about 652 00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: raiders bringing in somebody who could take your job? But 653 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know what kind of 654 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: workout he had. But he also was there at Michigan 655 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: at Kaepernick's thirty four. He went to Michigan spring game. 656 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh invited him there, and he of course was 657 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 1: at the Niners and drafted Colin Kaepernick. But maybe Kaepernick 658 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 1: gets a chance. He also said in an interview that 659 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: today's NFL should be more in alignment with his social views. 660 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 1: But I don't know what is prevented teams from bringing 661 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: him in If he's coming in as a backup quarterback. Okay, 662 00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: but Kaepernick wants to play? Does he really want to play? 663 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 1: Because I always wondered the past couple of times when 664 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,360 Speaker 1: I thought he was going to work out for somebody, 665 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,600 Speaker 1: did he really want to play or did he want 666 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,720 Speaker 1: to prove that nobody wants to give him a workout? 667 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 1: Got the workout with the Raiders, and I don't know 668 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 1: how you judge this. Where you go that workout was 669 00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,359 Speaker 1: so great, we're going to bring you in. I don't 670 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: know what that's based upon. Still has a strong arm, 671 00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: not necessarily an accurate arm. Probably still has some good 672 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:30,360 Speaker 1: athleticism there. It's just what are you bringing him in for? 673 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: And is it real that you brought him in for 674 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 1: this workout? I don't know any of those, but I 675 00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: just wondered, why now? Yeah, PAULI a lot of articles 676 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,440 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen eighteen around Kaepernick when he was in Limbo. 677 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,920 Speaker 1: Speculated that owners from a business standport were very concerned 678 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: that bringing in Kaepernick whis so polarizing for a quarterback 679 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: they weren't sure would be, you know, a great quarterback 680 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 1: that it would cost them money from if a portion 681 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,960 Speaker 1: of their fan base. I don't know if anybody's going 682 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: to be bothered by Kaepernick if he's on the roster. 683 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: That's why I was wondering, like, I don't know. Let's 684 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 1: say this morning we woke up and Kaepernick joined the Raiders. 685 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: He signed as a one year contract for the whatever 686 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,800 Speaker 1: veteran minimum. What would we be talking about saying? What 687 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 1: would be Vegas fans to be talking about. I you know, 688 00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:23,120 Speaker 1: I think at some point fan bases go can the 689 00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: guy help us? I go back to Philadelphia with Michael 690 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: Vick at some point you had to go, can he 691 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: help us win? Yes, all right, we'll look past what 692 00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,200 Speaker 1: he did, or at least we'll try to look past. 693 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: It usually comes down to can this guy help you? 694 00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,640 Speaker 1: Like Antonio Brown if he could still play, fan base 695 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, all right, ringham In, it's baggage and talent. 696 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: It's a sliding scale, and you have to weigh that 697 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 1: with Colin Kaepernick, do you want to bring him in? 698 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: What role are you okay? With him as a backup quarterback? 699 00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 1: Is Derek car okay? How does is Josh mc daniel's 700 00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: going to use him in a unique way? Does he 701 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 1: still have the ability to be a very good quarterback 702 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 1: at age thirty four? And you haven't played and what 703 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 1: seven years? Six years? That's an eternity. But Raiders brought 704 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: him in. I don't know what the time frame is 705 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,360 Speaker 1: to make a decision, but I'm glad he got the 706 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,800 Speaker 1: opportunity just to showcase his talents. And then if the 707 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,160 Speaker 1: Raiders feel like, let's pull the trigger on this, maybe 708 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:35,240 Speaker 1: gets a chance.
