Last night, Steph Curry with 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.760 Steph Curry, the Philadelphia seventy six ers seem to have 0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.919 quieted any of that. They're gonna get eliminated and Doc 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.640 Rivers is gonna get fired and leave and go to 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.080 the LA Lakers sort of discussion. Thus far, there's your 0:00:42.159 --> 0:00:46.919 like basic NBA recap. We're what a little bit more 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.160 than a week away from the NFL Draft, which seems 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.519 to lack a lot or even a little buzz a 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:56.440 lot of that because the quarterbacks, right, or the lack 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:59.600 there of quarterbacks, which gets us to I'd like to 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:04.760 discuss us, believe it or not, I Colin cap Kaepernick. 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.440 I want to Colin Colin Kaepernick. But let me just 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.160 let me just put a cap on something before Jason, 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.760 before we get to to a Kaepernick discussion. Frank guisoul 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:18.160 is going to join us UM upcoming here in twenty 0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:20.720 minutes scores. Frank covers the NBA has a has a 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:25.840 show on serious sex m covering only the NBA. It's like, look, 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.039 the Kyrie Irving injury thing is the thing. It's it's 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:33.000 impossible not to point out that, you know, from Duke 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:36.960 when he had the big toe injury to you know, 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:39.480 he tore his knee his first year in the NBA 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.600 Finals with Lebron, and he had the mesh that that 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.200 got and screws that got infected in his knee when 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.880 he was with the Boston Celtics, you know, to even 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:52.520 getting hurt last year. Most of it is bad luck. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.640 It just is it's bad luck that dude has been 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.440 He's walked underneath uh um ladders or something. I mean, 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.480 miss twenty seven percent of his games in his career. 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:09.399 So has he not performed at the highest level as 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.040 often as Lebron James, of course not. But this is 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.280 a little bit like the Chris Paul things, like, look, 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:17.800 it's really hard to tell. But when he is healthy, 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.359 I mean, you know, I mean he was amazing the 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.359 other night. So like, I don't think I think diminishing 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:27.000 anything he does on the floor on the offensive side 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:31.000 of the basketball is a mistake. The problem with Kyrie 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:33.960 Irving is he's so busy trying to prove that he 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.760 knows more about so many different topics. We're just like, dude, 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.919 just go play. That's that's kind of where the Earth 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:45.600 is flat? Dug the Earth is flat? Yeah, I kind 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:50.320 of I thought I thought that was just a challenge 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.880 to Hey, you know when people say things, let's take 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.320 a look at him. The problem is like he dug 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:04.320 in his heels on that deal, like the Wild Conspiracy. Seriously, man, Yeah, 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:08.760 I struggle with that one. You start going earth is 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:14.520 flat and then you lose me. I'm actually I kind 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:18.320 of get the ridding the spirits with sage like that's oh, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.320 stop it. There's lots of people who believe in that. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.720 I get it. Yeah, Like you ever have, you're gonna 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.480 if you're gonna try and you're trying to get rid 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.520 of bad you know, bad juju. You take some sage, 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:34.160 you burned, Like if it works, you know, that's what 0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.160 you're doing to get rid of bad juju? Is that 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.960 what you do? I have done it. Yeah, you've burned 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.720 sage dark. Yeah, you're supposed to do it. You come 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.000 into new a house, you're supposed to do it. That's 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.240 like an old wives tale. You know, my we we 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.320 toyed with the idea recently of buying a tear down 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.280 and building a house. And you know, my dad, of 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.240 course he's not listening, but he's in Florida, and you know, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:59.400 he's old school. He's like, hey, just remember you want 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.120 the front door to face this way in the oven. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.960 And I'm just like, stop all that stuff. Yeah, he's 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.480 way into that, and uh, I can't. I can't buy 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:14.280 fully into that stuff, you know, I just can't. It 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:18.440 is a it is a thousand year several thousand year 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:22.920 old holistic remedy holistic and it it also like there's 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.719 also like Batiste thible. No, I'm just look again, and 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.040 I don't. I'm sorry. I'm not sympathetic towards people who 0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:31.839 are told they need to be vaccinated and chose not 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.160 to do so. You know, I'm not I'm not sympathetic. 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.920 That's a sick burn towards Anthony Fauci. No, I'm just kidding. No, 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:40.600 no, no no, no, not towards Anthony Fauci. If you if 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.600 you misheard me or if I misspoke, I said, I'm 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.200 not sympathetic towards people who were not vaccinated and after 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.240 they were told they needed to be to perform their job. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.680 Oh okay, mel kiper Yeah, No, I mean, like, look, 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.320 somebody told you how to do it. If you have 0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.920 to do it for your job, then do it. That's it. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:58.800 You know, if you have some grave medical condition, then 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.880 you go and go. I got some medical condition and 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:02.680 I can't I do Like you knew you had to 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.799 be vaccinated. They said you have to do it to work. 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.080 Then you go do it. Sorry, that's that's kind of 0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:11.159 the way that that's the way. That's the way it works, correct. 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:13.479 We sometimes you know, if you try to not I 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.040 want to go to college and not be vaccinated inoculated 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.680 for other things. For everybody got inoculated when they went 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.039 to college, and nobody asked questions about it and said 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.479 they did their own research. You know. But anyway, the 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.080 burning stage thing is actually like healthy for you. So 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:31.120 I'm not gonna there are there are parts of there 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.320 are parts of Kyrie that you do it does. I 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:37.599 think he does want to make you think, and I 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.440 can I can appreciate that, like, hey, why is it 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.880 okay that somebody calls me a CS or somebody calls 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.200 me an MF, Like why is that okay? The truth 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.120 is it's not. The truth is it's not. It's like, look, 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.800 you can you can boo, you can yell at guys, 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:55.720 you can yell you suck or whatever. They're just there's 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.120 just a level where you're like, really, like, that's what 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:01.680 we're doing here. On the other hand, that shouldn't empower 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.640 you to give it back to them. You can, but 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.240 I don't think that's a path because in addition to 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.040 them being you're paying customers, there's plenty of other paying 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.560 customers that that's not what they came to. Well, Doug, 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.919 you've seen the movie Gladiator, right, I think this is 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.880 where the sports all emanates from. Like the gladiators were 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.000 in the ring, you could say whatever you wanted, people 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:25.000 fus stuff at them. That's where it came from. And 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.520 you know some of these athletes, the modern athletes, are saying, 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.159 well it was it was that way. Thousands of years ago. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.080 Why is it that way still? And I A lot 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:38.800 of these conventional wisdom norms are being flipped, right, yeah, 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.400 I mean mental health, Doug. Can you imagine a professional 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.600 football player or NBA player twenty years ago saying I 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.400 need time off for mental health? Hell, fifteen years ago, 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.720 the thirty years ago, no way, And now it's like, 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.479 you know, that's fine, do that, you need it. We 0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:55.479 all need a mental break. And I think you're you know, 0:06:56.120 --> 0:07:01.000 in football mentality, it is, I think, and I think 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:04.960 in basketball mentality again, it's only flipped in these guys 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.040 in which it's one thing to challenge conventional wisdom, it's 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:09.120 another thing to shut down or to you know, to 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.560 hurl an insult back at a fan like that may 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:15.760 look cool on social media. That does not look that 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.840 does not look cool in you know in Okay, So Doug, 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.680 here here's a comp right, So you open social media 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.880 in the morning, you brush your teeth, you go to 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.080 the bathroom, you do your normal things. You open social media, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.440 you happen to look at your mentions and it's I 0:07:29.480 --> 0:07:31.720 don't know, let's just say twenty people are saying, f you, 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:34.240 you were wrong about this, You suck you shouldn't talk 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.880 about sports blah blah blah. Okay, in no way, shape 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.520 or form would anyone ever do that to you in public. 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.920 So why should they be allowed to go on your 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:47.440 social media and send all these nasty, like idiotic things. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.640 They don't know you, they're anonymous. That that's not how 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:53.320 it should be. So obviously we block those people. I 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.920 don't need that in my life. There's no for no 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.840 reason should anybody be able to mf me for me 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.760 just saying I think the Pelicans are choking dogs, so 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.600 I am easily able to block them. Now, Doug, you've 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.440 been in sports media longer than I have. I only 0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.120 moved out here to La to do FS one in 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:11.080 radio six years ago. In my time out here, I 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:14.080 have never once had people come up to me and 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.520 say anything like they do on social media. People come up, oh, Jay, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:20.200 I love your stuff. I can't believe you said this, smiling, laughing. 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.240 Want to talk engage about sports, fine, nobody ever does that. 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.240 I don't know if it's happened to you before, but 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.920 it's never happened to me. Even people drunk coming up 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.320 to be a Dodger stadium Lakers games, they're all like 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:32.680 oh dude, what's up? Man? Congrats, let me get a picture. 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.679 It's all very normal, but on social media, people get different. 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.400 People get liquored up in the crowd. They want to 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.920 say stuff to Kyrie Irving. Yeah, I've got no problem 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.079 with him firing back stuff. I've absolutely no problem with 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:48.679 these with these athletes, they should not be subjected to 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.679 some of this vile comments coming out of these liquored up, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.880 drunk idiot's mouth. So so here's there's but this is 0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:58.719 what do you do? You either mute them or you 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.640 block them? Right easy for me? Yes, okay, no, So 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:06.480 an NBA player, if they want and somebody else at them, 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.559 they can go right to the officials and point the 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.880 guy out and there is no discussion. They're escorted from 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.200 the building. Yes, Lebron has done that, but watch, here's 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:21.040 the question, why hasn't Kyrie done that? That is when 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.920 we start to really drill down. He believes that he's 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:27.040 fueling that energy is fueling him, and it does create 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:32.000 like look again, as you know, I cut my teeth 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:37.920 in this industry covering college basketball, right. But the crazy 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.120 thing about it is if you ask fans to be like, well, 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.160 I really love college basketball, it's just so much more 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.439 energy and they play so much harder. Like look, if 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.800 you watch the NBA Playoffs in comparison to college basketball's 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.960 NCAA Tournament, which is incredibly popular, it's a great event. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:56.800 The NCAA Tournament does not have great atmospheres in every game. 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:58.800 Most games, a matter of fact, do not even have 0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:02.480 good atmospheres because they're neutral sites. They're split up amongst 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.120 eight schools or whatever. In terms of the tickets, the 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:07.319 NBA Playoffs like that atmosphere the other night, and what 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.559 it's going to be tomorrow night is unbelievable. Okay, but 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:14.520 if the but if it, if people step over line, yeah, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.680 you got to do what you've I've made the mistake 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.400 before bro I was at I was at ESPN, and 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:23.640 this is man, I'm old. This is like fifteen years ago. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.160 And you used to contractually have to do a chat 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:31.000 like during basketball season once a week you'd sit down 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:33.800 with or you'd sit down with an editor and they 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.040 put you in a chat room. You remember chats I did, 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.840 And you know, I always get the Notre Dame credit 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:45.000 card thing whatever, you know, some sort of some sort 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:49.000 of loser commentary and as a gag. One time I 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.560 came back at two different people, and I think your 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:55.440 website ran it actually where I said. I said something 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.160 along the lines of, hey man, listen, just when I 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:01.160 say thirty minutes or less of my pizza, thirty minutes less, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:04.000 you know my pizza, get my pizza to my house, 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.679 and thirty minutesal less, right, And then there was some 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.120 other insult somebody else, and I just said, listen, can 0:11:09.160 --> 0:11:11.600 you tell your mom? I left my jordansid her right? 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.520 It was just like your mom jokes. I love those, 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.800 very very sophomoric. I did not curse, you know, I didn't. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.199 So I got called in at ed espionas a got 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.480 any Mark Gross? Who's a I think? I think A 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.640 good dude, I you know I And even after this, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.120 I still think he's a He was. He was good 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.400 at what he did. I thought it was a massive overreaction. 0:11:34.440 --> 0:11:37.400 He called in. He's like, look, we're we're gonna suspend 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.679 you for a week. I was like, for what for? 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.920 For hurling insults at our paying custom at our fans. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:47.520 I was like, when did I do that? He's like, 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:50.520 here's this chat he said. If He's like, we were 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.839 at a table, and I thought we should fire you. 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.800 Like what He's like, you gotta understand, like those people 0:11:58.640 --> 0:12:01.240 like if you pay attention to those are the only 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.880 thing people pay attention to is when you comment on it, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.559 which is like the quote retweet thing, you know, and 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.600 you can't punch down it. It makes us all look bad. 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.559 Those are your customers. These are the people that come 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:18.960 for your information. Now, I look, I don't agree totally, 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.160 but I do understand. I do understand, Like I understand, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.000 like you represent something way more and way bigger, and 0:12:25.120 --> 0:12:26.959 you're you're above that, and you have to act like 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.719 you're above that. Now, there's somewhere in between using it 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.240 for your energy and fueling you and being above it. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.439 And that's where Kyrie and Kad need to be. Instead, 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:39.800 they're down the mud and they're letting the they're letting 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.360 the bags bring them to the you know, the dbs 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:44.280 bring them to their level. That that's what it feels like. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:50.000 Huh interesting, Doug, I will say, I love how you 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.280 say that. Uh go and apt people on a chat 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:55.800 now that chats don't exist in it. It's just it's 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.080 just like Twitter. I mean, like, you know, I totally 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.960 understand where these guys, you're going like, look, man, they 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:06.000 you know, I'll post something on Instagram about, you know, 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:10.480 my daughter's turned sixteen last last week, and you'll get 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.160 somebody that slides in and wants to post something about 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:16.720 something you said on a radio show. Really what are 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.560 we doing? And but you know, as you get older, 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:22.080 you just go like, I'm just gonna block this person. Yea, yeah, 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.800 there's no play whatever. But I look, I've I've gotten 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.480 myself because every corporation is the same, you know, plenty 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:30.760 of I've worked for three of them. Yeah, I'm at CBS. 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.959 Are like, dude, you can't why well, why can't die? Well, 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:37.400 I will say, Doug, listen, you've had a front row 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.400 seat to this as well. You know that. And I 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.040 hope I'm not an insulting people in this one. And 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.360 that's probably a bad intro, but Doug, you know that 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:48.480 guys who are married and had the kids and they've 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.319 got like they leave work and you leave work right, 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.360 you're at home, hang with the fam. You guys are 0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:55.120 going out to dinner, You're doing your thing. You got 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.559 the kids, their homework, they're youth sports. Like you're busy. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:01.240 You don't have time to be on social media all 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.360 the friggin time, seeing all the damn dumb comments. It 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.319 doesn't get in your head because guess what, who cares? 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.120 I've got other stuff going on in my life. But 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.880 it's never gotten in your head, No dog. I mean again, 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.600 I'm very fortunate. I had to be honest, it absolutely has. 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.200 You know, I'd say years ago, ye years ago, I 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:28.080 I would say it was I'm probably gonna go. Like 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.480 nine years ago. I thought I was in that for 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.720 like a year and a half there. I was like 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:37.720 in that dark space of constantly checking the phone. Now 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:39.720 I didn't check. I never checked my mentions. It was 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:44.040 more the replies, you know, the edifications and the report Doug. 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.280 We've been We've we know people we've I'm not going 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.360 to name them here, but we've been front row for 0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:50.560 people who don't have a lot going on in their 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.520 social life outside of work, and this stuff gets to 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:55.800 them big time. If you let it get to you, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.680 it can. If you don't compartmentalize and walk away from 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:02.720 this and just enjoy life and forget about these haters 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:04.880 and these losers, it can get to you. Now. I 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.680 know Kyrie Irving, I think he somebody that he's with 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.200 a girlfriend or X or whatever. He has a kid, 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.960 he has some stuff going on. UM, So I just 0:15:14.120 --> 0:15:17.920 wonder how much of it is he's letting the outside 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:19.720 stuff get to him, because I'll tell you right now, Doug, 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:23.560 he's really opening himself up big time. Like it's one 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:28.240 thing for us to say the Pelicans had thirty nine points. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:30.240 He did, but they lost and if they lose again. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:31.840 And by the way, he was not great on the 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:36.280 final possession fourth quarter. I know he had eighteen. Fourth well, 0:15:36.320 --> 0:15:39.120 he hit the key, hit the three, the three was incredible, 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.680 but he basically said I want this final bucket. You know, 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.200 when they were up one and they double teamed him 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.520 and he waited two damn long Kadi had to force 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:49.960 like a twenty five foot or off balance. I thought 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.040 that was a bad possession by your so called leader, um. 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.200 And then Kyrie and Kade both got called ball watching 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:59.080 basically on the Jason Tatum cut just such a you know, 0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.440 I know you are bag basketball coach your kids. I 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.520 instantly called my kids over. I pause the TV, I 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.160 re wound, I go, guys, look at what Jason Tatum does. 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.880 He simply cuts to the basket. He doesn't just stand 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:12.120 there with his hand up, cuts to the basket, look 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:14.480 at the defenders, just ball watching, and it's just a 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.080 great basketball teachable moment. And listen, Kyrie will be better 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.760 in game two. But Doug, I'm just saying they go down, 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:25.000 oh two, wouldn't shock me if Barclays is booing in 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:26.840 game three, if they if they're in a hole of 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:30.560 any kind. Because Kyrie put this team together, fired Atkinson 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:34.080 helped reshape the roster, allegedly, depending who you want to believe, 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:36.640 drove James Harden out of town. And now you're like, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.960 oh my gosh, you know we've been waiting for this. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.960 What is this your three with these guys, And it's like, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:43.560 wait a minute, we can't even get out of the 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.840 first round. And I'm just saying, Kyrie bring he wants 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:49.520 all the smoke, that's fine. I just just be ready 0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:51.280 for the fall out if they cannot get by Boston. 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:53.800 That's fascinating, all right, coming up next year, So we're 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.120 gonna do. We'll get to the Kaepernick stuff little later 0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.800 on this hour. And it's only it's like I almost 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.400 feel apologetic talking by Kaepernick because I think most people 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:05.520 are like, dude, it's it's it's over, right, but maybe 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:07.719 it's maybe it's not over. It's an interesting discussion. We'll 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.199 get to that, and then Apper Coming up next, FRANKI 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:12.000 Soul is going to join us. Of course, he has 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.680 series XM NBA show. We'll ask him about Kyrie and 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.280 whether or not his approach is good for the league. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.440 That's next to The Day Patrick Show.

Um, all right, 0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:23.800 FRANKI soul is going to join us in about in 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:26.800 about five minutes. Here's what I wanted, Here's what I 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.080 want to do, Jason. Jason McIntyre, who of course founded 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.200 The Big Lead. You can now see him on Fox 0:18:32.280 --> 0:18:34.480 Sports One. You hear him on Fox Sports Radio. You 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:36.639 can listen to the Doug Gottlieb Show daily three to 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.320 six Eastern twelve three Pacific, your iHeartRadio app Fox Sports Radio, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:42.400 or if you're listen to us on Sirius XM, same 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:47.720 channel every afternoon at three on the East and noon 0:18:48.280 --> 0:18:52.240 on the West. But m Colin Kaepernick was on the 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:56.119 I'm an Athlete podcast and again like, I don't know 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.240 where you are, Jason, but it's Cam Newton is kind 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.639 of going to be in that in that discussion point. Now, 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.880 as for this offseason, in preseason and during the season, 0:19:06.960 --> 0:19:09.960 somebody gets hurt, and why don't you bring in Cam Newton, 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:12.560 Like because he can't throw a football anymore and he 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:14.320 doesn't want to be really want to be a backup. 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:16.240 But maybe they all say they want to be backups 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.639 or do they or do they? But the Kaepernick thing 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.280 is interesting because as much as there's there was this 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:30.200 sense from some in public, many in mainstream media that 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.560 he was blackballed out of the Nation Football League. The 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:38.000 reality is back when he first was released by the Niners, 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:42.840 there was a sense or people believe they couldn't sign 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:45.920 him for lessons. He wanted starter money. Remember he visited Seattle, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.480 and Pete Carroll kept saying like, well, he wants to 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.400 be a starter, right, he wants and they had Russell Wilson, 0:19:51.880 --> 0:19:54.240 and I'm sure Russell Wilson nixed that deal, like no way, 0:19:54.359 --> 0:19:56.480 no how, we're bringing that thing in the bringing that 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:01.320 circus into my locker room, you know. But he said 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:05.439 he changed, and this is what he said to Brandon Marshall. 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:09.520 I think more than anything, it is a passion like 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:12.879 you had those dreams from me to your kid. I 0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.080 mean like I'm gonna be an NFL player and I'm 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:17.480 gonna win a super Bowl. And for me, I've I've 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.760 unfinished business on that front. I've been to the super Bowl. 0:20:21.080 --> 0:20:23.840 We're one play away. It's like, well I need to 0:20:23.880 --> 0:20:27.200 finish that. If you had a message for gms and 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.280 owners and you wanted them to know anything, right now, 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.680 what would you say? So, let me come in compete. 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:37.800 You have your roster, you had a team. Let me 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.480 come in compete, show you what I can do. What 0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:45.360 do you think, Jason, Yeah, I want to start here. 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:47.359 So at the end of the first hour, you know, 0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:50.320 we always are texting about what we're gonna talk about, 0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:52.560 and Dougs like, I want to talk about Kaepernick. And 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.439 my instant response was going to be maybe an expletive 0:20:55.600 --> 0:20:58.320 or why or and I thought about it. I was like, 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.439 all right, you know Doug's passage about this, let him 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.479 go for me. Somebody mentions Colin Kaepernick. I say, wait, 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:06.880 the last time he threw a pass was twenty sixteen. 0:21:07.200 --> 0:21:12.359 Wait is that right? Twenty sixteen, six years ago he 0:21:12.560 --> 0:21:15.800 threw a pass in the NFL. And he's a talking 0:21:15.960 --> 0:21:19.280
