WEBVTT - HOUR 1- Charles Barkley Oct 07, 2020

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. I got breaking NFL news and it's not

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>good news. Welcome to the program. It's our one on

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>this Wednesday, Dan and The Dane's Dan Patrick Show. Charles

0:00:12.960 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Barkley will join us. Coming up in a little bit.

0:00:15.160 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Mississippi head coach Lane Kiffin on his showdown with Nick

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Saban and Alabama will join us in an hour from now.

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>We're glad you can join us whatever way. If you're

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>watching on Peacock listening on now three hundred and seventy

0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>five radio affiliates around the country eight seven seven three

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>DP show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com,

0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Twitter handle at DP show. Let me give you the

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>breaking news here. Diana Rassini from the Mothership tweets out

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the Titans are in a difficult position for many reasons.

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>The Bills playing next Thursday against the Chiefs. Moving the

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Bills Titans game to Monday seems impossible with his schedule.

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Canceling or forfeiting maybe the only options. That's because another

0:00:55.520 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>unnamed Titans player has tested positive, Albert Breer. He tweets

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>purse source Stefan Gilmore. The Patriots came up as one

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:08.240
<v Speaker 1>of the QB cam Newton's close contacts over the weekend

0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:13.000
<v Speaker 1>to test positive. Patriots flew Newton's close contacts to Kansas

0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.319
<v Speaker 1>City separate from the rest of the traveling party. Tom

0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Pellisero the NFL network. The only other team league wide

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>with a new positive case from Tuesday's round of testing,

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders, who placed defensive lineman Maurice Hurst on the

0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>reserve COVID nineteen list on Tuesday. Tom Pellisero also tweets

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs who played stuff on Gilmore and the Patriots

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Monday night returned no positive tests from Tuesday's round of testing.

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>They're allowed to practice today under the supplemental intensive protocols,

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>including mandatory use of PPE by player in practice. Adam

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Schefter tweets out due to the concerning increase of COVID

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>nineteen cases and hospitalizations in the Green Bay area and

0:01:56.200 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 1>across Wisconsin, the Packers have put an indefinite hold hosting

0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.639
<v Speaker 1>fans for games this season at Lambeau. Oh. By the way,

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a hurricane that is headed into New Orleans. The

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Saints are considering evacuating to Indianapolis on Thursday because of

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>Hurricane Delta coming their way. A contingency plan with the

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:22.279
<v Speaker 1>NFL to play their Monday night game against the Chargers

0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in Indianapolis. Other than that, how's everybody's fantasy team doing? So,

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of movement here on what's going on.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>But the big news is a player on the Titans

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 1>has tested positive. This puts Sunday's game between the Bills

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and Titans in jeopardy. Titans were expected to return to

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>their facility today, but that can't happen. Now. You had

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.680
<v Speaker 1>the Titans Steelers game that was two undefeated postponed, the

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Titans Bills two undefeated teams that might be postponed. But

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 1>the NFL might be inching a little closer to forfeits here.

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>And the response that I use get when people, you know,

0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>find out a game has been postponed or they're looking

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.800
<v Speaker 1>for alternative plans, is well, why don't they move the

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:11.080
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl back? They can move the super Bowl back

0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>if all the other teams in the league are going

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>to have an extra week to play a game or

0:03:16.400 --> 0:03:19.560
<v Speaker 1>need an extra week. That's that's the last resort here,

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Because let's say the Titans are going to miss two games,

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 1>three games. I mean, we're only going into Week five.

0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now, there's going to be more of these. The

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 1>question is your contingency plans. Will it be winning percentage?

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Will everybody play sixteen games? Let's say the Titans, let's

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>say the Patriots, they have to move games back or

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>they're going to allow them to play. You know, their

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>week's fifteen and sixteen. Well, you can't put you can't

0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.000
<v Speaker 1>punish the other teams that will play sixteen games. Let's

0:03:52.000 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>say the Kansas City Chiefs have the best record in football,

0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>and they're gonna wait, and you know there's going to

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>be a bye week because they have the best record,

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and then you're gonna have two extra weeks for the

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>Titans to play their games. And let's say the Patriots.

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>So now Kansas City is going to wait a month

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>to play its first playoff game. This is the information

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I got last night. That's why it's really inconceivable to

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>try to move the season back a little bit. If

0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>there's only a couple of teams, they're going to have

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to make up these games. You run out of weeks,

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and then you might be looking at a forfeit here

0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.919
<v Speaker 1>for a team you don't want to get there, but

0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>you have to have contingency plans with everything that's going on,

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and here we are not knowing when the Titans are

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>going to play again. I mean I would find that

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>game doubtful on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Here we

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>are on Wednesday. They already had one game canceled. The

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>Patriots had Stephon Gilmore test positive. I don't think he's

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>going to be the only person who test positive. If

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Cam Newton's contacts, those he came in contact were on

0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.080
<v Speaker 1>one plane, and Stephon Gilmore is on that plane, what

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.719
<v Speaker 1>are the odds he's the only one to emerge as

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a positive here we have phone calls out. We'll see

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>if we can move this forward, give you all the

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 1>information possible on this. But some great reporting going on,

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Tom Pelo Sero, Albert Breer, Diana Russini. But we'll come

0:05:16.760 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>up with a poll question here once again. The big

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>news though, is you've got a couple of games, at

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>least one game that's in jeopardy, and that's Buffalo against

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>the Titans. Last night Lakers picked up the victory up

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>three games to one. We'll dive into that with Charles

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Barkley coming up. Four baseball games today, Braves Astro's raise

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and Dodgers last night with wins. Has Jim Carlos Stanton's

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:46.359
<v Speaker 1>home run landed? Yet that is so effortless now, to me,

0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the greatest home run hitter of all time is Hank Aaron,

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and Hank Aaron was not a big guy. He didn't

0:05:50.960 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 1>weigh two hundred pounds. Gian Carlos Stanton looks like he

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.720
<v Speaker 1>could be a tight end in the NFL. He hit

0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.479
<v Speaker 1>a home run last night that probably won over five

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred feet and he did it with the flick of

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.039
<v Speaker 1>his wrist. This is what Hank Aaron and Mike Schmidt,

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 1>how they used to hit home runs. It was all

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in their wrist. Now these guys now it's different, you know,

0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.719
<v Speaker 1>with you know, science, diet, whatever else is thrown in there. Science,

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:20.520
<v Speaker 1>I know, trying to be nice science, I know that's

0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a gentleman's rim, trying to be nice here, science science, science. Yeah.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Gian Carlos Stanton turned on a pitch and it looked

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>like it was just his risk that that flicked it

0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:37.919
<v Speaker 1>and went five hundred feet at least last night. But

0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the Yankees ended up losing that game. The Astros looks

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like they're in for maybe a collision course with the

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Yankees the way they're playing so far. The Dodgers picked

0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 1>up a victory shutting down the Padres last night. Padres

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>had just three hits on the night. Yes, Pauli and

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:57.080
<v Speaker 1>science for the home run hitters. The Astros had assistance

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.320
<v Speaker 1>back in seventeen anything, well, they might have been using

0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>science or technology. The technology is what the Astros were using.

0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.279
<v Speaker 1>We often throw out the expression defense wins championships. You

0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 1>know where I stand on this. I say this in

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.680
<v Speaker 1>every sport. At some point, I don't care how good

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>your offense is, It'll come down to a defensive stop.

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>We've seen that with the Lakers. The Lakers have a

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>very good defense. They've had a good defense all season long.

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Crunch time in the playoffs, half court offense, and you've

0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 1>got to play defense. And last night you saw that

0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>the Lakers show their defense is what makes them a

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 1>special team. Anthony Davis switched on too Jimmy Butler to

0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure he didn't repeat his Game three triple double performance.

0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Ad runner up for the Defensive Player of the Year

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to the Greek Freak was great. You slow down Butler enough.

0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.560
<v Speaker 1>The Lakers hold off the heat in a very very

0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>close quarter. So Butler and the Heat give them credit

0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>in Game three, but I'm going to give credit to

0:07:57.000 --> 0:07:59.520
<v Speaker 1>La for absorbing that punch and not backing down. They're

0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>up three game games to one in the series and

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>on the brink of a hard fought NBA championship. You know,

0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>the talk will now be who's going to be the

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>MVP if the Lakers win? The Lakers win, will it

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:13.840
<v Speaker 1>be Anthony Davis, Will it be Lebron James. I would

0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>still say Lebron James. I've said all along, if Anthony

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>Davis is the best player on the floor, the Lakers

0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>are going to win. And you saw Anthony Davis play

0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 1>great defense last night. But this is a Lebron led

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:31.239
<v Speaker 1>team triple double last night. He built this team, and

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he's deferred to Anthony Davis just for a

0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:36.680
<v Speaker 1>confidence level to make it feel like he is the

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>best player on the floor. But and I didn't understand

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:43.439
<v Speaker 1>the lack of urgency with Lebron in the first half,

0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>And maybe he's pacing himself. I know I said this

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>earlier in the bubble and I said, this is the

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.720
<v Speaker 1>first time I can recall Lebron pacing himself, and then

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.520
<v Speaker 1>he went out the next game and had a monster

0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:58.199
<v Speaker 1>triple double. It still feels like he's pacing himself because

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Miami didn't go away last night. Jimmy Butler didn't have

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:04.280
<v Speaker 1>a great game, but he had a very good game.

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>You had some role players who played well last night,

0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and here you are on the verge of another NBA Championship.

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But if they're going to give an MVP, I don't

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>know if it's going to be based off this next game.

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:20.239
<v Speaker 1>If Anthony Davis does something superhuman, does he win it?

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter to me. I know it matters to

0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:26.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people that Lebron if he wins another MVP,

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.880
<v Speaker 1>that's an MVP on three different teams going to the finals,

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>something that's never happened, and I think would be his

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>fourth NBA Finals MVP. So historically it's going to mean

0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>something to somebody, or somebody's going to somehow hold it

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 1>against Lebron if he wins this, and they'll say, yeah,

0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>but Anthony Davis deserve that, But Lebron Anthony Davis. It'll

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I think Lebron is the favorite in Las Vegas to

0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.240
<v Speaker 1>win it. But let's see what happens in that final game,

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and Lebron was great in the fourth quarter when they

0:09:57.320 --> 0:10:00.640
<v Speaker 1>need him, called well, Pope was very good. Roger on Rondo,

0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:03.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, just moments. That's what you want in a

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>big you know, you have these spurts there, and Lebron

0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>played well when he needed to. But he text his

0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>teammates earlier in the day saying, this is the biggest

0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>game of his career, which I found interesting because I'm

0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna guess he's probably had bigger games in his career,

0:10:21.679 --> 0:10:25.800
<v Speaker 1>like when Cleveland won the NBA Championship. That seems like

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:30.959
<v Speaker 1>a little bigger game. Maybe that block shot on Andrea

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Gudala Game six against Golden States seemed a little bigger

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:38.239
<v Speaker 1>than last night. But hey, he's the one taken inventory.

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>It's his rolodex of great games of all time. So

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>who am I to argue. This program, by the way,

0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.199
<v Speaker 1>That's legal zoom dot com. Mclovin, what kind of poll

0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>question do we have today? Well, I like that question,

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 1>do you think the NFL will play the Super Bowl

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>on February seventh as scheduled or move it back? I

0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:05.719
<v Speaker 1>actually threw that up on Dan Patrick to see what

0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>people would say, Dan Patrick. So if I had to

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 1>bet today, I'm going to say that they still go

0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:20.199
<v Speaker 1>as scheduled on Sunday, February seventh. Everything else has been

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>on schedule. The season started on schedule, the draft was

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on schedule. I'm gonna say they'll somehow plow through this.

0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.719
<v Speaker 1>Unless it's widespread where you have X number of teams

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that can't play a game, then you'll probably need one

0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 1>or two extra weeks to make up all these games.

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know. I got a call into a

0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 1>source who's trying to find this out, like this is

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.600
<v Speaker 1>happening right now in real time where they do have

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>contingency plans. Now you may have to implement those contingency plans.

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 1>And we haven't even gone into the fifth week of

0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the season, so it's crazy. Also, the Washington football team

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:05.360
<v Speaker 1>will make a quarterback change. According to Ian Rappaport, Kyle

0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Allen gets the start versus the Rams, Dwayne Haskins goes

0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to the bench. Yes, by that means they're drafting the

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in the top five picks. I think they were

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.600
<v Speaker 1>drafting a quarterback in you know, Ron Rivera comes in

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.880
<v Speaker 1>and Daniel Snyder wanted them to draft Dwayne Askins, and

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 1>Ron Rivera is probably saying, when I get healthier, I'm

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.320
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a healthier outlook on my quarterbacking situation. There,

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, mcleven, When else do you have? I hesitate

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to bring this up, but you will, okay? Sadly, Eddie

0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>van Halen passed yesterday? Is there even a poll question?

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Who did you like better, Sammy Hagar or David Lee Roth?

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.280
<v Speaker 1>PAULI shot me, Daddy. He's like, if you ask that,

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm leaving the room. Basically, wait, really well, by asking it,

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>McClellan puts himself in the position where he's saying that

0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.160
<v Speaker 1>van Halen with Sammy Hagar could be considered just as

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>good as van Halen David Lee Roth, which is factually wrong.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.959
<v Speaker 1>It's not an opinion, it's a fact. Yes, see, no offense.

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>I like Sammy Hagar personally. Can't we just honor the

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 1>man if it feels a little too soon to do

0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:17.280
<v Speaker 1>David Roth? Sammy Hagar yeah, but they didn't die. Yeah,

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, it's like we're skipping over Eddie and how

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:22.640
<v Speaker 1>awesome he was by going with these two jokers. But

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I will say the common thread was Eddie van Halen

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>with those two and they were different lead singers. David

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Lee Roth. If you didn't have MTV then, I mean

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>MTV helped make Van Halen so much larger because you

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>saw these videos. I mean, David Lee Roth on MTV

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.160
<v Speaker 1>at the time seemed pretty cool. You watch those videos

0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.959
<v Speaker 1>now and you go, Okay, maybe not. And Sammy Hagar,

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's hard for a new singer to come in.

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Phil Collins did this with Genesis with Peter Gabriel. Maybe

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>not to the extent of this, but Phil Collins made

0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.600
<v Speaker 1>them far bigger and had a lot of hits. There.

0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 1>You had ac DC that, you had the death of

0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>what Bond Scott and then they had a new lead

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.199
<v Speaker 1>singer came in and they didn't miss a beat there,

0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>and then you have you know, Van Halen. Yeah. Point,

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 1>they made a lot of money with Sammy Hagar. They

0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>did not dip that much. I think album sales were

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>more with David Lee Roth. According to a few different

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 1>websites I've seen, but they didn't drop off when they

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 1>brought in Sammy Hagar. They had a lot more hits.

0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Are we being insensitive? Maybe that's the poor question. Well,

0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you can't say who was the greatest rock guitarist of

0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>all time because it's universally considered Eddie van Halen. Again,

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.840
<v Speaker 1>fact that opinion. I don't know if he's the greatest

0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.520
<v Speaker 1>rock guitars. Well, oh see, I knew you're gonna go there,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>you know. Yeah, Jimmy Page might be like, hold up, yeah, yeah,

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd say that's pretty good. I'd say they're a couple

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of other people. There's there's like four

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.520
<v Speaker 1>ahead or in the same in the they would be

0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.320
<v Speaker 1>ahead of Eddie Triumprin. I think Eddie was brilliant, you

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:03.080
<v Speaker 1>know the fact that he couldn't read music. He built guitars.

0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean you listened to Van Halen for his guitar,

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:09.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you would listen for the vocals. How many

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:13.440
<v Speaker 1>bands do you do that with? You know, AC DC,

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I might listen for Angus Young, but you know Zeppelin.

0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>You were listening to Jimmy Page with his guitar. Yeah,

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.840
<v Speaker 1>you could say slash Guns n' roses. I mean, Axel

0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 1>is a huge frontman, but you were waiting for the solo. Yeah, yeah,

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean is it Jimmie Hendricks and Eric Clapton, right,

0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.840
<v Speaker 1>are like that? Yes? And they all worshiped Hendricks, that

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Clapton and Page worshiped him. So I think the fact

0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.480
<v Speaker 1>that Hendricks played in London and you had Pete Townsend,

0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>you had Eric Clapton, I might have Jeff Beck. So

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>some of the great guitar players they showed up to

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.320
<v Speaker 1>see Hendricks. That says it all. What about longevity, It's

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 1>like the Frank Gore versus Gale Sayer's argument ary. Well,

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 1>you're right, Hendricks died at twenty seven. But now Eddie

0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>van Halen is you know, he's one of those geniuses

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>and he was an innovator as well. But back to

0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the lead singer here with Sammy Hagar and David Lee Ron,

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:12.360
<v Speaker 1>today's about honoring and supporting Sammy Hagar. Yeah and qual Co.

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, let me take a break here, We'll see

0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:17.520
<v Speaker 1>if we can settle on a pole question and we

0:16:17.560 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>will talk to Charles Barkley. Fritzie, can you check you know,

0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure about reaching out to the NFL. I'm

0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:27.000
<v Speaker 1>trying through my source to find out some of this information.

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe let's hold off because I don't know what the

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.160
<v Speaker 1>exact question is that i'd asked the NFL. I'm guessing

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>the NFL is quite busy this morning, quite busy with

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>what's going on with the Tennessee Titans, maybe the Patriots. Yes, Ton,

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 1>if we asked the NFL to weigh in an a

0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.800
<v Speaker 1>pole question in some way insensitive, I am curious they were,

0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah about just say, look, we're always peppering you with

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>serious questions. Just you know, let me throw this out.

0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Who do you like more, David Lee Roth or Sammy Hagar.

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a reasonable quesh. We'll hang up and listen,

0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>all right, eighteen after the hour, Just getting started at

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Charles Barkley next the Dan Patrick Show. Synthetic identity fraud

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.520
<v Speaker 1>is one of the fastest growing financial crimes in the

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.680
<v Speaker 1>United States, and this is how it happens. Criminals use

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a combination of fake and real information. They create an

0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:18.760
<v Speaker 1>entirely new identity. They combine real personal information and then

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.800
<v Speaker 1>like your social Security number, a fake name and address.

0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 1>They open bank accounts, and then they'll try to get

0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:28.080
<v Speaker 1>credit or obtain health insurance. It's important to understand how

0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:32.360
<v Speaker 1>cybercrime and identity theft it's affecting our lives every single day,

0:18:31.160 --> 0:18:34.560
<v Speaker 1>listen to and listen for the guitar before you do

0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 1>the vocals. I always did that with van Halen because

0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it got me right away. Like Rush with Neil part

0:18:41.560 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>on drums, you just listen to a certain aspect of

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:50.639
<v Speaker 1>the band, and Joe Perry with Aerosmith you would just

0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 1>hear those riffs in there. But Eddie van Halen was

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:57.199
<v Speaker 1>one of those musicians where I listened for the guitar

0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>like that told me everything about this song and then

0:18:59.600 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 1>if it was Sammy Hagar, David Lee Roth jump it in.

0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Tom Pelisero has updated an Ian Rappaport report. The Washington

0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.840
<v Speaker 1>football team is going to have Kyle Allen as the

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.040
<v Speaker 1>starting quarterback versus the Rams, so Dwayne Haskin goes to

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Tom Pellisero then follows that up. Not only

0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>is Dwayne Haskins not starting, he's not even number two

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 1>on the depth chart. Alex Smith is going to back

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:30.040
<v Speaker 1>up Kyle Allen against the Rams. I mean, that's an

0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:33.520
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable story that Alex Smith is going to be the

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:36.520
<v Speaker 1>backup quarterback given everything that he went through with all

0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 1>of his surgeries. There McLevin what's the pole question we

0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>have that we're going to go with today. Okay, I

0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:45.240
<v Speaker 1>actually put up will the Super Bowl go on February

0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:48.760
<v Speaker 1>seventh as scheduled? Right now? Fifty seven percent say no?

0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So it's close, all right? Last night with the Lakers winning,

0:19:52.440 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>here is Lebron James talking about going into the fourth

0:19:56.119 --> 0:20:04.200
<v Speaker 1>quarter last night. Oh, we can't do that right now.

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll wait until after Charles. I will let

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you hear from Charles or from Lebron James after last

0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:14.960
<v Speaker 1>night's win. Can we bring in Charles? Is he there? Hey? Truck?

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.720
<v Speaker 1>How are you? What's your brother? Is the series over? Yes, sir,

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:23.159
<v Speaker 1>it's over. It's a rap. Uh. You know what. Listen,

0:20:23.200 --> 0:20:28.400
<v Speaker 1>Miami just underman. You know when Jimmy Butler went crazy

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>the other night that extended it one game. I mean,

0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 1>he was amazing in Game three. But listen, they're under

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:37.760
<v Speaker 1>man and it's over. If you could have picked a

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>team to face the Lakers, any team in the finals,

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:45.760
<v Speaker 1>who would you pick to make it a more interesting matchup? Well,

0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 1>there was two teams that would have been interesting match up,

0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.159
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers and the Milwaukee Bucks. You know, Dan is

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 1>about matchups, you know, listen, Miami supposter out coach Boston

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>and Milwaukee. That was all about coaching, But the Clippers

0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and the Milwaukee Bucks would have been much tougher matchup.

0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.520
<v Speaker 1>When you hear teams that have chemistry problems, like the

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Clippers suddenly had chemistry problems. Did they have chemistry problems

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>before they got to the bubble or was it just

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.480
<v Speaker 1>in the bubble that they had chemistry issues? Well, you know,

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I hate when I hear that because when they won

0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>the first round and they were up three one, nobody

0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 1>talked about chemistry. I mean, think about that. And they

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.520
<v Speaker 1>won a playoff series and they were three one, double

0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.080
<v Speaker 1>digits in games five and six, nobody to talk about chemistry.

0:21:36.280 --> 0:21:40.120
<v Speaker 1>They just didn't play good. You know. Paul George was awful,

0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Lou Williams was awful, Montrez Harrow was awful. So they

0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.960
<v Speaker 1>just did not play well. So no, they had nothing

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.200
<v Speaker 1>to do with chemistry. That's just bogus. Who's your MVP

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>for the NBA Finals? Wow? Well, I think Lebron is

0:21:56.280 --> 0:21:59.280
<v Speaker 1>going to win it. But Ad has been amazing even

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 1>last night watching the game. His defensive like, he made

0:22:03.920 --> 0:22:06.040
<v Speaker 1>some plays in the first half. If people not gonna

0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>talk about the play on Tyler Hero where he missed

0:22:09.960 --> 0:22:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the leap and then he blocked Kelly o'lanik. He blocked

0:22:14.520 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>him on that play. So listen, Lebron is probably going

0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to win it. But listen, let's be realistic. The reason

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna win the finals because of a D. But Dan,

0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>we said that six months ago. We said, if a

0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:29.640
<v Speaker 1>D plays like he's capable, the Lakers are gonna win

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the championship. And I'm never gonna say anything bad about Lebrons.

0:22:33.320 --> 0:22:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I got respect and admiration for him. He's an amazing

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:41.560
<v Speaker 1>player and he's even probably a better man. But they're

0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:45.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna win because of a D. It's Lebron picking his spots.

0:22:47.160 --> 0:22:49.480
<v Speaker 1>It just feels like this is the first time I've

0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:53.320
<v Speaker 1>ever seen him pace himself a little more. Am I

0:22:53.400 --> 0:22:55.960
<v Speaker 1>reading into something too much here? Or are you seeing

0:22:55.960 --> 0:22:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this that maybe Lebron is, you know, at times mortal

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.399
<v Speaker 1>in the NBA? You know, No, I don't know in

0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.880
<v Speaker 1>order to write word, but he listen when you have

0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>after he had listen. They have Jimmy Igu Dollar j

0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Crowder who are terrific defenders. But a D has an

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:20.240
<v Speaker 1>advantage every single night. He reminds me of Dirt Davisky,

0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Durant. You know those guys, who do you put

0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:27.520
<v Speaker 1>on a d You can't put a big guy on him,

0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:29.320
<v Speaker 1>you can't put a little guy on him. That's the

0:23:29.359 --> 0:23:32.879
<v Speaker 1>same way I felt about Dirt Davisky and Kevin Durant.

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Who do you put on Kevin Durant? You put a

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:37.679
<v Speaker 1>little guy on him, he's too big. You put a

0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:40.440
<v Speaker 1>big gul on him. He's they're too slow. And that's

0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.520
<v Speaker 1>what you get when you get Athterday Davis, Like, I

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>don't know who you can put on Afterday Davis. There's

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:47.199
<v Speaker 1>nobody you can put on him where he doesn't have

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 1>an advantage. So Lebron has deferred to him quite a

0:23:50.520 --> 0:23:53.680
<v Speaker 1>bit rightfully so, and that's why they're gonna win the

0:23:53.760 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>championship and you don't have home court. You know, when

0:23:57.200 --> 0:23:59.679
<v Speaker 1>people say, well is this really a championship? In an

0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:03.200
<v Speaker 1>ast I think it's been tougher to win a championship

0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:05.359
<v Speaker 1>this year than it would be if this was just

0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a regular season. You know, I don't know about that,

0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.679
<v Speaker 1>but I will say I thought that could be an

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:15.159
<v Speaker 1>asteris that we had, like if if if all the

0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:18.760
<v Speaker 1>great players got the COVID and we had to Sacramento

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Kings against the New York Nickpship. I thought that, I thought,

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you an asterisk, then I'll give you an

0:24:25.000 --> 0:24:27.439
<v Speaker 1>asterisk there. But you know what, listen, you know, I'm

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 1>so glad you asked me that question, Dan, because man,

0:24:29.600 --> 0:24:32.800
<v Speaker 1>I gotta take my hat off to Adam Silver and

0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:36.760
<v Speaker 1>h first and foremost, but also the medical staff and

0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the players. Listen. I was very cynical with this thing.

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 1>First started them like, there's no way they can go

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:45.600
<v Speaker 1>three months. Yeah, there's no way they can go three

0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>months and not have an outbreak. They did it, Dan,

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>safe thing. They shout out to my boy, John Cooper,

0:24:52.200 --> 0:24:54.920
<v Speaker 1>head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning. He's been my

0:24:55.040 --> 0:24:57.320
<v Speaker 1>boy for a long time. They wanted the Stanley Cup.

0:24:57.800 --> 0:25:00.439
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was no way possible for these teams

0:25:00.440 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 1>to go three months basically without the COVID. So Gary

0:25:04.640 --> 0:25:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Bettman and Hockey and Adam Silver. But I can say

0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 1>I get a players a lot of credit too, because

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.520
<v Speaker 1>for us to go, then for us to go. I

0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:15.160
<v Speaker 1>saw one night, we had a guy on the show

0:25:15.240 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>last night, you've been one hundred days in the bubble

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:22.199
<v Speaker 1>to go three months without any positive test. It's one

0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of the most amazing things that I've ever seen. Could

0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:27.679
<v Speaker 1>you have pulled that off if you were a player?

0:25:29.760 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think it depends on how good Yeah,

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think all the players had to, but

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it depends on how good the team is.

0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Like the good team, you notice anything that really happened.

0:25:40.440 --> 0:25:42.960
<v Speaker 1>The only people were complaining with guys on bad teams

0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>who were going to be away for a couple of months.

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:49.680
<v Speaker 1>But man, these players and Adam Silver, the doctors, all

0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 1>the people working at the hotels down there, the same thing.

0:25:54.040 --> 0:25:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Shout out to the Seattle Storm of the w NBA.

0:25:57.040 --> 0:25:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, to go three months with I mean, think

0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.320
<v Speaker 1>about it. The President of the United States has COVID

0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and like he's probably you know, like he probably in

0:26:07.280 --> 0:26:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the safest place he not. But for these players and

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.879
<v Speaker 1>women in the w NBA and the NHA to go

0:26:13.960 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 1>three months without an outbreak, it's one of the most

0:26:16.800 --> 0:26:20.320
<v Speaker 1>amazing things ever playing and simple. Did you have a

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:26.480
<v Speaker 1>false positive? No? I was negative. Yeah, yeah, I was negative.

0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:29.040
<v Speaker 1>But you know, hey, man, I want to give my

0:26:29.160 --> 0:26:31.760
<v Speaker 1>thoughts and thoughts out there to everybody who had the

0:26:31.880 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 1>disease and listen. And also I want to bless them

0:26:36.320 --> 0:26:37.840
<v Speaker 1>if you lost somebody to bless them. But the man,

0:26:38.359 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I just want to think about all the people out

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:43.000
<v Speaker 1>there who lost their job doing this pandemic. Then you know,

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:46.119
<v Speaker 1>this has been like the craziest thing in our lifetime,

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:49.040
<v Speaker 1>and there's so many people who lost their job and

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:51.959
<v Speaker 1>never gonna get it back. So I feel bad for

0:26:52.000 --> 0:26:55.200
<v Speaker 1>those people because like, we're in a crazy time right now.

0:26:56.040 --> 0:26:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, and we don't even know. I mean, I've

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:00.040
<v Speaker 1>been talking to TNT. We don't even know when the

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.600
<v Speaker 1>NBA gonna start again. It's crazy right now our world

0:27:02.680 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 1>we're living in. Yeah, we're probably looking at the end

0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of January February, but you know, training camp would be

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:11.679
<v Speaker 1>starting now in a normal year. We're talking to Charles Barkley,

0:27:11.720 --> 0:27:15.600
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Famer, Doc Rivers to Philly. What do

0:27:15.600 --> 0:27:18.960
<v Speaker 1>you think, Well, it's gonna pan on. Joel and Ben.

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:23.159
<v Speaker 1>Those guys got to get this crap together. I like

0:27:23.320 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 1>both of them as people, but it's time for them

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:28.520
<v Speaker 1>to grow up and be a Listen, right now, they're

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:32.000
<v Speaker 1>all stars. It's time for them to be superstars. You know,

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Ben's listen, we gotta make sure Joel's got to get

0:27:35.640 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 1>in shape. You know, Dan, we give you one hundred

0:27:37.960 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 1>and six or seven million dollars, we shouldn't be worried

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.320
<v Speaker 1>about your conditioning. Would you trade one of those two?

0:27:44.760 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I would not right now, but we still shouldn't be one.

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 1>If a guy can shoot, or guy's gonna get in shape,

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:53.960
<v Speaker 1>if I just gave him one hundred and seventy million

0:27:54.000 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>dollars the last two years, there's time for them to

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.720
<v Speaker 1>grow up and be better than all Stars because they

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 1>got so much talent and they really nice kids, both

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of but it's time for them to grow up. They

0:28:06.080 --> 0:28:09.600
<v Speaker 1>just got their coach fired. Now they got another coach,

0:28:09.800 --> 0:28:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. And listen, if I was those two guys,

0:28:12.320 --> 0:28:15.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, Dan, I got one coach fired, and I

0:28:15.480 --> 0:28:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was embarrassed. I mean, we had a bad team, but

0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>as a great player, I was embarrassed because I was like, man,

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I just gotta got fired. I got the assistance fired.

0:28:25.400 --> 0:28:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I was embarrassed, and I hope those two guys like,

0:28:28.080 --> 0:28:31.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, man, I just gotta got fired. That's embarrassing,

0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 1>And I hope they grow up and it's time for them.

0:28:34.600 --> 0:28:37.040
<v Speaker 1>They're in the prime of their career. It's time for

0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:41.040
<v Speaker 1>them to grow up and be dominant. Does another title

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:48.240
<v Speaker 1>change where Lebron is all time? Well, moving closer to Kobe. Listen,

0:28:48.320 --> 0:28:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm never gonna say anything bad about Lebron. I think

0:28:50.640 --> 0:28:55.880
<v Speaker 1>one another time to move him closer to Kobe. But

0:28:56.000 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>he's amazing, nothing but respect. But I think I got

0:29:01.000 --> 0:29:04.840
<v Speaker 1>him six on my lift excuse me, seventh, right behind Kobe.

0:29:05.680 --> 0:29:09.640
<v Speaker 1>So I think if he wins, I think he wins

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.280
<v Speaker 1>two mobile, I would move him ahead of Kobe, to

0:29:12.400 --> 0:29:14.760
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, but just moved him a lot

0:29:14.800 --> 0:29:17.480
<v Speaker 1>closer to Kobe and my just on my list in

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:20.240
<v Speaker 1>my personal opinion. So not even in the top five

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:23.840
<v Speaker 1>all time. He's seven, Dan, Yeah, I know, I just

0:29:23.880 --> 0:29:26.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to. I wanted to ask the question because

0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:28.760
<v Speaker 1>I'd be surprised that he's not even in your top

0:29:28.800 --> 0:29:33.320
<v Speaker 1>five all time. I got a number seven behind Kobe

0:29:33.320 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Brown when he wins. When he wins this year, you

0:29:36.760 --> 0:29:38.840
<v Speaker 1>know I had to move him a lot closer. I mean, Dan,

0:29:38.960 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>he is playing with Anthony Davis. Yeah, most great players

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 1>played with great players. Yes, you are correct, but the

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:54.800
<v Speaker 1>difference is I've always believed that Lebron manufactor when he

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:58.840
<v Speaker 1>went to Miami and got Dwayne and Chris, and then

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>when he went to the Lake, he you know, once

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:04.920
<v Speaker 1>ethnic David signed with Clutch Boors, you knew it was

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>just a matter of time before he came to the Lakers.

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So let me say, I'm never gonna say something bad

0:30:09.840 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 1>about Lebron, but you do have to factor in he

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:18.800
<v Speaker 1>does manufactor his teams where they become really good quickly. Yeah,

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:22.479
<v Speaker 1>but we've seen that with great players like who, like

0:30:22.560 --> 0:30:27.480
<v Speaker 1>who that have manufactured their teams like who, Well, Kevin

0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Durant died, that's why he was He got on my list.

0:30:30.840 --> 0:30:33.440
<v Speaker 1>But Steph Curry got credit for a title and Kevin

0:30:33.560 --> 0:30:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Durant came there, so nobody said, boy, you can't give

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Steph that one title. It was Steph one one before

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:43.840
<v Speaker 1>before KD came. That's true, but that doesn't mean we're

0:30:43.880 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>not gonna take away that title. And also manufactured, that's

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:49.840
<v Speaker 1>a manufactured line up. But but but I'm not gonna

0:30:49.840 --> 0:30:52.600
<v Speaker 1>move him up on the list because those two with

0:30:52.760 --> 0:30:56.479
<v Speaker 1>KD are manufactured. That I'm gonna tell you something. As

0:30:56.560 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>much as I like KD, I haven't moved him up

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:03.239
<v Speaker 1>because he is was manufactured. Also, But you look at

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>the Boston Celtics with Bill Russell. None of those guys

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:10.000
<v Speaker 1>left the team. Like nobody had free agency. You couldn't leave.

0:31:10.080 --> 0:31:12.160
<v Speaker 1>So you had a lineup of what do they have?

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Eight Hall of Famers and a Hall of Fame coach

0:31:15.920 --> 0:31:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and Bill Russell. You're not factoring that in. These guys

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't leave. Yeah, but none of those other guys on

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>my list on the Bill Russell's on my list. Yeah,

0:31:24.800 --> 0:31:27.680
<v Speaker 1>but these are all Hall of famers. Bill Russell played

0:31:27.720 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 1>with eight or seven Hall of Famers in Atlanta. And No,

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm saying, but I don't count those other guys.

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>They're bus riders, Dan, They're not buzz drivers. The only

0:31:37.200 --> 0:31:39.720
<v Speaker 1>person on that team, the only person on that team

0:31:39.720 --> 0:31:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that I'm putting on my list, is Bill Russell. Those

0:31:42.920 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 1>other guys are they're they're buzz riders. They're not bus drivers.

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:50.040
<v Speaker 1>Listen when I'm talking about my rust Mount, my Mount,

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Russmore and Lebron's on that you have to be a

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>bus driver, you can't be a buzz rider. Kevin Durant

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:59.960
<v Speaker 1>is still a buzz rider until he wins one in Brooklyn.

0:32:00.000 --> 0:32:03.320
<v Speaker 1>And let me tell you something, I have no idea

0:32:03.360 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>what the hell going on? I was gonna bring that

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>up to you when Kyrie says, we don't really have

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:13.880
<v Speaker 1>a head coach. Some nice it'll be me, sometimes it'll

0:32:13.920 --> 0:32:19.960
<v Speaker 1>be KD and sometimes it'll be Steve Nash. Boy, Hey damn.

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>First of all, he did not say Steve Nash. He

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:32.480
<v Speaker 1>said sometimes he went to be a sistant assistant. You

0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:35.520
<v Speaker 1>know that that was one of the craziest things I've

0:32:35.560 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 1>ever heard on NBA players say I have no idea.

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:43.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that was fled out crazy. And you

0:32:43.760 --> 0:32:48.320
<v Speaker 1>know what, I think it's gonna be fascinating watching those guys,

0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:53.560
<v Speaker 1>especially in New York. And I don't say a good

0:32:53.600 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 1>fascinating or a bad fascinating, though I think he's gonna

0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>be a bad fascination. I don't think either one of

0:32:59.760 --> 0:33:03.880
<v Speaker 1>those guys. They're lucky they don't play for the Knicks,

0:33:03.920 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>but I think because they're so high profile and all

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the stuff that Kyrie has said the last couple of years,

0:33:10.760 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I think they're gonna get to sit the same media

0:33:13.280 --> 0:33:17.160
<v Speaker 1>attention that the Knicks get. And I think it's gonna

0:33:17.160 --> 0:33:22.160
<v Speaker 1>be fascinating. And I can't wait to watch how you

0:33:22.200 --> 0:33:25.960
<v Speaker 1>doing on the NFL games. You know, it's been very

0:33:26.040 --> 0:33:29.000
<v Speaker 1>difficult to bet, to be honest with you, Dan, because

0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:33.240
<v Speaker 1>they've taken away to home field. I tell people home

0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>field first of all, home home court. Home field always

0:33:37.440 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 1>means something in sports, but I think it means a

0:33:40.440 --> 0:33:45.640
<v Speaker 1>lot more in college football and pro football. So I

0:33:46.280 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 1>have had a tough time trying to figure out, especially

0:33:50.480 --> 0:33:52.720
<v Speaker 1>with no preseason games. So I think we're still in

0:33:52.760 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the preseason. But I'm having a difficult time betting on

0:33:56.000 --> 0:34:00.360
<v Speaker 1>games because there's no home field advantage anymore. Out one

0:34:00.440 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>for you. Yeah, Army versus the Citadel take Army first

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:11.800
<v Speaker 1>half cover? Are you crazy? Yes, listen, I'm not betting

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:15.439
<v Speaker 1>on Army against Citadel. Please stop. Wait, do you want

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 1>to make money or like, why do you bet? I

0:34:19.680 --> 0:34:23.640
<v Speaker 1>bet to make money? Okay, and you haven't made money? Well,

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.120
<v Speaker 1>because well, actually I am. I didn't bet. I did

0:34:28.239 --> 0:34:31.239
<v Speaker 1>not bet the first two weeks because I wanted to

0:34:31.280 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>see some games. Right now, I think I'm six and

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>two for the season. I did not bet until the

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>week three, so I'm six and two, so I'm up

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:46.839
<v Speaker 1>four games. Yeah. Every Super Bowl I always say, just

0:34:46.880 --> 0:34:49.200
<v Speaker 1>give me your money and then I'll hold on to

0:34:49.320 --> 0:34:52.239
<v Speaker 1>it and then you won't lose it. Well, what was

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl last year? The Kansas City Chiefs. I

0:34:57.239 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>won last year. The only time i've in the last

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>three or four years was those Atlanta Falcons, the Alatta Falcons.

0:35:07.680 --> 0:35:11.399
<v Speaker 1>What they've done in the Super Bowl and what they

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.080
<v Speaker 1>did against the Cowboys or two of the biggest choke

0:35:14.280 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 1>jobs in the history of civilization. What would you have

0:35:17.840 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 1>won if the Falcons won the Super Bowl? One hundred

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars. I bet one hundred thousand dollars on them,

0:35:24.680 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and they listen, let me tell you something. I was

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:32.759
<v Speaker 1>drunk at halftime shots. Hey, I was up twenty eight

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:36.239
<v Speaker 1>to three. I was feeling it. And then one of

0:35:36.280 --> 0:35:39.080
<v Speaker 1>my friends, Roy Greene, says, you know, man, the game

0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 1>down over here, as do We're up twenty eight. And

0:35:43.120 --> 0:35:45.440
<v Speaker 1>then he says, no, man, the Falcons are playing not

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 1>to lose. They're trying to walk the ball up and

0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 1>down the court to let the shot clock go down.

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.839
<v Speaker 1>And he was a hundred percent correct. And as soon

0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.719
<v Speaker 1>as Brady got the ball for the last time, you

0:35:56.800 --> 0:36:00.360
<v Speaker 1>knew it was over. You knew it was over. Damn

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>and and and and when they when they had the

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:07.759
<v Speaker 1>ball and on the first play, they got sacked and

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:09.600
<v Speaker 1>New Yeland called the timer. All they have to do

0:36:09.680 --> 0:36:12.440
<v Speaker 1>is run the ball three times. Mcdowe, England, use up there,

0:36:12.600 --> 0:36:15.560
<v Speaker 1>three time out, kick a field, go the game is over.

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, Dan, that was that was so heartbreaking. That

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:22.600
<v Speaker 1>was heartbreaking. Well at least you did you sober up

0:36:22.600 --> 0:36:26.280
<v Speaker 1>in the second half. Well, no, I just got drunk.

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:31.040
<v Speaker 1>That's one thing about about gambling. You drink when you're

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:37.439
<v Speaker 1>gonna win lose. Uh. Good to talk to you. Glad

0:36:37.480 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you're safe. Tell the boys T and T. We said

0:36:39.560 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 1>hello and thanks for joining us. All right, man, hey,

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:45.960

0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and getting me do the show from my house. I

0:36:54.160 --> 0:36:56.520
<v Speaker 1>told you we we won too. We'd have to have

0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:59.480
<v Speaker 1>some some safety protocols to get to the compound, but

0:36:59.760 --> 0:37:02.120

<v Speaker 1>The Astros up two games to none, trying to close

0:37:57.840 --> 0:38:01.000
<v Speaker 1>out the A's and hitting some home runs in the process.

<v Speaker 1>need to get done without having to leave your home.

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:16.359
<v Speaker 1>That's legal zoom dot Com. I mentioned earlier we would

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 1>hear from Lebron James. This is what he had to

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.480
<v Speaker 1>say about the Lakers going into the fourth quarter last night.

0:38:21.680 --> 0:38:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I think the fourth quarter obviously is winning time. You

0:38:24.920 --> 0:38:28.120
<v Speaker 1>got twelve minutes to buckle down defensively with the lead,

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:30.120
<v Speaker 1>try to hold that lead, and then you have to

0:38:30.120 --> 0:38:33.719
<v Speaker 1>execute offensively. You know, obviously didn't know the statu you know,

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:37.920
<v Speaker 1>coming into tonight, But for us, that's that's just a mindset.

0:38:38.040 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got twelve minutes and if we have

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the lead, it's our job to outscore an opponent or

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:47.359
<v Speaker 1>hold them till less points as us. All Right, So

0:38:47.760 --> 0:38:50.320
<v Speaker 1>now you have Friday night as they try to close

0:38:50.440 --> 0:38:53.680
<v Speaker 1>out the Miami Heat, and I expect the Miami Heat

0:38:53.760 --> 0:38:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to play well. I don't think this is going to

0:38:56.160 --> 0:38:58.200
<v Speaker 1>be one of those Hey, we know we're not going

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:00.719
<v Speaker 1>to win this championship and we're gonnall it in. It's

0:39:00.719 --> 0:39:03.600
<v Speaker 1>just not who that team is. And Jimmy Butter won't

0:39:03.600 --> 0:39:06.480
<v Speaker 1>allow that to happen. Tie in New York joints as

0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 1>Ty woulds on your mind today, Dan Patrick thinks a

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:16.360
<v Speaker 1>lot so so I think lebron sent that text simply

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to set the table right now. They Lakers want to

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:23.879
<v Speaker 1>apply the knockout blow to the Heat, and Lebronos also

0:39:23.960 --> 0:39:26.759
<v Speaker 1>understands that, you know, Kobe passed away this past year

0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:30.520
<v Speaker 1>and the Lakers were in the toilet at one point,

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:34.160
<v Speaker 1>I say the last five years for five years, last

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:39.360
<v Speaker 1>thing hypothetical highway from mc mclovin, Uh, Chris Paul for

0:39:39.560 --> 0:39:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Ben Simmons. Chris Paul for Ben Simmons. If I'm Philadelphia now, yeah, McLevin,

0:39:48.239 --> 0:39:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Chris Paul. Money is so huge that it's weird. It's

0:39:51.000 --> 0:39:54.360
<v Speaker 1>forty some million dollars and the age, and you're hearing

0:39:54.400 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>that the New York Knicks could be interested in Chris Paul.

0:39:58.520 --> 0:40:00.799
<v Speaker 1>That's not the direction you want to go in. You

0:40:00.880 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>add Chris Paul when that's the final piece, like Milwaukee

0:40:05.920 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>adding Chris Paul. Then that's a difference maker. The Knicks

0:40:10.200 --> 0:40:13.279
<v Speaker 1>aren't ready to win now, well, they may not be

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:15.919
<v Speaker 1>ready to win anytime soon. They're also talking about Victor

0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:19.879
<v Speaker 1>Oladipo with the Knicks. That wouldn't be a wise decision either,

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:23.640
<v Speaker 1>because he's been injury prone. As much as I like him,

0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:26.279
<v Speaker 1>but go on to the Knicks. It always feels like

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:29.080
<v Speaker 1>when the Knicks are interested in you, it's the wrong

0:40:29.200 --> 0:40:32.359
<v Speaker 1>time for them to be interested in you. Yeah, Paul.

0:40:32.560 --> 0:40:37.320
<v Speaker 1>These are classic Nick acquisitions. An older, very very expensive

0:40:37.360 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 1>player or a young star whose best years maybe behind

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:43.920
<v Speaker 1>them because of injuries. That's Nicks. Lebron is one of

0:40:44.320 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 1>four players to have won Finals MVP three times. Magic

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:50.640
<v Speaker 1>did it, Check did it. Tim Duncan did it. Of course,

0:40:50.760 --> 0:40:54.200
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan did it six times. You start to look

0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:57.760
<v Speaker 1>at the stats here during the NBA Finals through four games,

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Lebron's averaging more points, He's averaging more rebounds, he's averaging

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:10.040
<v Speaker 1>more assists. Anthony Davis shooting better from the floor, better

0:41:10.080 --> 0:41:13.080
<v Speaker 1>from three point range, better from the free throw line.

0:41:14.080 --> 0:41:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Steals are about the same, and he's got seven blocks

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:20.920
<v Speaker 1>to Lebron's three. I'm gonna guess Lebron is going to

0:41:21.000 --> 0:41:25.280
<v Speaker 1>win this because I think that there was some sensitivity

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 1>of how much I guess, how much love the Greek

0:41:28.800 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Freak got during the regular season for MVP, and Lebron

0:41:31.520 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>was sort of an afterthought, and I thought he deserved

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:37.600
<v Speaker 1>more consideration. Greek Freak, you can give it to him.

0:41:37.640 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>He had an unbelievable year, got better, His team was

0:41:41.080 --> 0:41:44.520
<v Speaker 1>great as well. Lebron was a unique story. Now you

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:46.880
<v Speaker 1>take that and then you put him in the NBA Finals,

0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:49.560
<v Speaker 1>he plays well, they win again, and I think that

0:41:49.600 --> 0:41:52.320
<v Speaker 1>the voters are probably going to look at Lebron differently

0:41:52.640 --> 0:41:55.520
<v Speaker 1>because if you said, who's the MVP of the NBA

0:41:55.640 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 1>this year, let's take away the regular season and just

0:41:58.520 --> 0:42:01.320
<v Speaker 1>make it all inclusive, is going to be your mvpick.

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:04.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think that he deserves the MVP in the finals.

0:42:04.600 --> 0:42:06.839
<v Speaker 1>And unless he comes out and he doesn't do much

0:42:06.960 --> 0:42:09.959
<v Speaker 1>and they clinch it and Ad has a wonderful game,

0:42:10.080 --> 0:42:12.840
<v Speaker 1>then maybe he can steal it from Lebron. But I

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:15.440
<v Speaker 1>think Lebron, because of what happened during the regular season

0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:19.240
<v Speaker 1>or what didn't happen, is going to win the finals mvpick.

0:42:20.200 --> 0:42:24.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll talk to Lane Kiffin, the Mississippi head

0:42:24.200 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>football coach. He's got Alabama coming up this weekend, and

0:42:28.160 --> 0:42:30.640
<v Speaker 1>we're keeping an eye on everything going on with the NFL.

0:42:30.920 --> 0:42:34.759
<v Speaker 1>If you're just joining us, another Titans player has tested positive,

0:42:35.080 --> 0:42:38.360
<v Speaker 1>so you have that Bill's Titans game in serious jeopardy.

0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 1>Titans were expected to return to their facility today. That

0:42:42.840 --> 0:42:45.840
<v Speaker 1>can't happen now. I don't know when they can come back,

0:42:46.480 --> 0:42:49.600
<v Speaker 1>but they're on the clock. You know, the game against

0:42:49.640 --> 0:42:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers was postpone. Can you postpone another game as well?

0:42:54.280 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Gilmour tested positive on Tuesday. Not sure if any

0:42:59.640 --> 0:43:05.160
<v Speaker 1>other Patriot players have or will Patriots have the Broncos

0:43:05.480 --> 0:43:07.799
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday one Hour of the Books. Two more to

0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:09.200
<v Speaker 1>go here on The Dan Patrick Show.
