Speaker 2: Warriors win against the Knicks last night at the Garden.
Speaker 2: He will join us a little later on. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to the future Hall of Famer Justin Erlander, now pitching
Speaker 2: for the San Francisco Giants. Three times Cy Young Winner.
Speaker 2: A few things to talk to him about certainly with
Speaker 2: the robo umpires, the balls and strikes being called in
Speaker 2: spring training, and also longevity three hundred wins possibly in
Speaker 2: his career. I think he turns forty something on Thursday.
Speaker 2: I think his birthday is tomorrow. But we'll talk to
Speaker 2: Justin Erlander coming up next hour eight seven seven three
Speaker 2: DP Show operator Tyler sitting by. He'll take your phone
Speaker 2: calls this morning, Seeton'll have a poll question. Good morning
Speaker 2: if you're watching on Peacock and listening on our radio
Speaker 2: affiliates around the country as well. Let me start with
Speaker 2: Lebron going over fifty thousand career points. We knew it
Speaker 2: was going to happen. He was at forty nine thou
Speaker 2: nine hundred and ninety nine. Wasn't a lot of drama
Speaker 2: there other than how was he going to get it?
Speaker 2: Was it going to be a dunk, a layup, a
Speaker 2: free throw or three point shot, which is what it was.
Speaker 2: And you start to look look at these numbers and
Speaker 2: I don't want to dive into the mike versus Lebron.
Speaker 2: I don't, we won't, but he is going to be
Speaker 2: statistically the most decorated player in the history of the sport,
Speaker 2: and it's not even going to be close. Fifty thousand
Speaker 2: points regular season, postseason combined, and he's still one of
Speaker 2: the top ten players in the game. Truly remarkable. And
Speaker 2: I started to wonder because last year I remember there
Speaker 2: were reports, speculation it's starting to slow down a little bit.
Speaker 2: I feel like the Luca trade revitalized him. I think
Speaker 2: he gets into this. Hey, that guy might be a
Speaker 2: future Hall of Famer. He might be one of the
Speaker 2: top five players in the game. I want to prove
Speaker 2: to him on a nightly basis, I can be great
Speaker 2: as well I can continue to be great. And I'm
Speaker 2: not saying they're competing with each other, it's complimenting each other.
Speaker 2: And Lebron is so bright at being able to to
Speaker 2: find what do I need to do to make you better?
Speaker 2: Because he came into the sport that way. He was
Speaker 2: a pass first guy. I'm ever afraid to take the shot.
Speaker 2: He won't take the big shot. Well, if you saw
Speaker 2: him in high school, the biggest guy on the floor
Speaker 2: was the best passer and he loved to pass. And
Speaker 2: even in the NBA, I think you know you look
Speaker 2: at when he played against Sacramentum when he first started out,
Speaker 2: makes a great pass to start his career because that's
Speaker 2: what he thought, That's that's what you need to do.
Speaker 2: I think he was more magic than Michael, even though
Speaker 2: everybody wanted to emulate Michael. But I see Lebron Moore
Speaker 2: as magic than I do Michael. And he continues to
Speaker 2: do it, and last night, you know, they win again.
Speaker 2: Now granted they're beating the Pelicans, it goes back to
Speaker 2: defense for me. I'm not worried about the offense because
Speaker 2: of Luca and Lebron and Austin Reeves and maybe you know,
Speaker 2: Dalton connect will be able to be a little bit
Speaker 2: more of a score, you know, come postseason time. I'm
Speaker 2: worried about defense.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: They let Zion Williamson have his way in the paint,
Speaker 2: and that's something that the Lakers have been really good
Speaker 2: at preventing points in the paint. They're letting you shoot
Speaker 2: the three. They want to make sure that you don't
Speaker 2: take advantage of them inside because they're undersized in the paint.
Speaker 2: But Zion Williamson has played really well since January. Now,
Speaker 2: I know you're going to go, well, that's not exactly
Speaker 2: a large sample size, and you're right, but he has
Speaker 2: played really well, and more importantly not missing games. This
Speaker 2: is going to be a you know, this off season
Speaker 2: is going to be tricky. I think for the Pelicans, like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing with your franchise? What do you
Speaker 2: want to do with your franchise? Can you luck into
Speaker 2: Cooper Flag and change your franchise? Is Zion your franchise? No,
Speaker 2: brandon Ingram wasn't their franchise. So you're trying to figure
Speaker 2: that out. But I'm watching and I'm going Zion is
Speaker 2: doing whatever he wants to do, and he's undersize, but
Speaker 2: he's so powerful inside, and the Lakers didn't have an answer,
Speaker 2: but Pelicans didn't have an answer for Luca and Lebron.
Speaker 2: So Lebron is the first of fifty thousand career points.
Speaker 2: We tend to look at numbers and we go, nobody
Speaker 2: will ever break that. Well, I remember when Gretzky set
Speaker 2: the all time goalscoring record and we all said, nobody's
Speaker 2: going to top that, And here we are. Alex Ovechkin
Speaker 2: is going to top that.
Speaker 3: EMMITTT.
Speaker 2: Smith all time rushing record, nobody's going to top that
Speaker 2: eighteen thousand, almost nineteen thousand, just because running backs trying
Speaker 2: to stay around although maybe a resurgence on running backs
Speaker 2: getting more carries now with Saquon Barkley, who just got
Speaker 2: a two year contract extension.
Speaker 3: But you got to be healthy.
Speaker 2: Like Frank Gore was just there and ended up with
Speaker 2: what fifteen thousand, oh, by the way, fifteen thousand rushing yards,
Speaker 2: but you can't remember one of his runs. But he
Speaker 2: just sort of stayed healthy, stayed in the lineup, and
Speaker 2: he was on a variety of teams. Emmett's rushing record
Speaker 2: is not going to be broken. Lebron's scoring record, even
Speaker 2: though scoring is up, you still have to be great
Speaker 2: for over twenty years, and that's the tricky part. Can
Speaker 2: you stay healthy? Can you stay great for twenty years?
Speaker 2: And Lebron has done that, and then so Jerry Rice
Speaker 2: two hundred touchdowns, the number of catches probably not going
Speaker 2: to be broken. Seaton, Do you have a list of
Speaker 2: unbreakable records or at least what we think is unbreakable.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this list is current at least until I don't
Speaker 4: know about a year ago or so. Okay, right, you
Speaker 4: have you mentioned Emmitt, you know over eighteen rushing yards.
Speaker 4: The next closest is Derrick Henry and he's at about
Speaker 4: fifty percent of that. Wilt Chamberlain averaging fifty point four
Speaker 4: points per game in a single season. Yeah, nobody's really
Speaker 4: even close to that. The closest I could see here
Speaker 4: is James Harden at thirty six point one.
Speaker 2: You know what happening that when Will scored one hundred
Speaker 2: points and we just had the anniversary that was smart
Speaker 2: second that week, I think he played four games in
Speaker 2: five days, and I think he scored sixty or more
Speaker 2: points in four of the games and scored one hundred
Speaker 2: in the other game. I mean, imagine that week for
Speaker 2: Wilt Chamberlain. Okay, back to you see.
Speaker 4: Let's see Wayne Gretzky one nine hundred and sixty three
Speaker 4: career assists. The at least at the time of this,
Speaker 4: the active leader was Sidney Crosby and he had nine
Speaker 4: hundred and seventy two. That's that's not even close. That
Speaker 4: will never that will never, ever, ever ever be broken.
Speaker 4: Cy Young seven hundred and forty nine complete games. Nobody's
Speaker 4: touching that. Cal Ripken Junior two thousand and six hundred
Speaker 4: and thirty two consecutive games. Nobody's even People are still
Speaker 4: he had twenty six hundred and people are still at
Speaker 4: least two thousand short of that, so that one's pretty safe.
Speaker 4: Ricky Henderson career stolen bases, He's at fourteen oh six.
Speaker 4: Nobody is even remotely close to that. Elvis Andrews I
Speaker 4: have it well at the time of this list. Anyway,
Speaker 4: this has changed, but three hundred and fifty, that's not
Speaker 4: even close. Michael Phelps twenty eight Olympic medals, the active leader.
Speaker 4: There is eleven the next closest to him, so.
Speaker 3: Is that Katie Ledecki. Do we have heard total?
Speaker 4: Let's see I have, Yeah, maybe this needs to be updated.
Speaker 4: But and then there's another Olympian on here. But this
Speaker 4: for the World Gymnastics gold medals, Simone Biles has twenty
Speaker 4: three of those. The next closest is nine. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: so that's you know, her dominance is a little not underappreciated,
Speaker 4: but it's massive.
Speaker 2: Is anybody going to approach Barry Bond's all time home
Speaker 2: run record? I mean it's still a home run hitting sport.
Speaker 2: I just wonder can you stay healthy enough to hit
Speaker 2: that many home runs? You know, five hundred is you know,
Speaker 2: that's the Hall of Fame mark. You get to five
Speaker 2: hundred and you know unless you've used steroids or caught
Speaker 2: using steroids, then you're going to go to the Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame.
Speaker 5: Yeah, point, you need to hit fifty home runs for
Speaker 5: fourteen years to be in the neighborhood.
Speaker 6: Think about that.
Speaker 3: Yeah point, I was.
Speaker 5: Thinking about this because you've often said that Kareem abdul
Speaker 5: Jabbar is underrated. Kareem Abdul Jabbar, all this points records
Speaker 5: were his until Brown showed Kareem played four years of
Speaker 5: college basketball. Correct. Imagine if he had a couple more
Speaker 5: years of professional basketball. He scored his first couple of
Speaker 5: years in the Bigs about twenty four hundred points per
Speaker 5: season if he could have come in at age nineteen
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one. So it doesn't match up apples to
Speaker 5: apples with the career scoring.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Kareem had come out of high school instead
Speaker 2: of going to UCLA, then you get that four year
Speaker 2: window that Lebron has, and he has that over just
Speaker 2: about everybody on the all time list because Mike stayed
Speaker 2: what three years at North Carolina. But yeah, just some
Speaker 2: of those records, I'm sure this audience will have other
Speaker 2: ones that are unbreakable.
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6: Joe DiMaggio fifty six game hitty streak.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't see that happening. I don't see anybody
Speaker 2: breaking that. You know, Pete got to forty four and
Speaker 2: that was a big deal. But you know the specialty
Speaker 2: of relievers now that you're going to face somebody, I mean,
Speaker 2: everybody's throwing a one hundred, and it's not like you're
Speaker 2: gonna have a tired pitcher that you're facing. You know,
Speaker 2: it's five innings and then all of a sudden you
Speaker 2: bring in the bullpen. But yeah, fifty six games, even
Speaker 2: getting on base in fifty six consecutive games, that's not
Speaker 2: going to be. We won't come close to that. I
Speaker 2: don't think like we get to thirty and now you
Speaker 2: get our attention. But you know, is somebody going to
Speaker 2: get to forty one. They're not contact hitters anymore. You know,
Speaker 2: back when Pete Rose was playing, you put the ball
Speaker 2: in play and you had Wade Bogs and Rod Carew
Speaker 2: you know some of these great artists here Now even
Speaker 2: each ye Row, as great as he was, as fast
Speaker 2: as he was, I don't know what his consecutive games
Speaker 2: streak was for hits.
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, if you look at current you know, active
Speaker 4: players home run hitters, You can't even find somebody that
Speaker 4: you can put on pace to come close. Even I
Speaker 4: think John Carlos Stanton, he's at four to twenty nine,
Speaker 4: but if you look at his production rate, he's not
Speaker 4: even gonna come close to Bonds. And there isn't anybody
Speaker 4: that you can put anywhere in their career like a
Speaker 4: trajectory right now that comes close.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're hitting seven hundred and sixty two home runs now,
Speaker 2: Hank Aaron had seven fifty five, Babe had seven fourteen. Pooholz,
Speaker 2: is there? What's seven oh three? Yeah, just not going
Speaker 2: to happen. By the way, Justin Verlander turned forty two
Speaker 2: last month. Is that right to just a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago? Okay, Right, here's Lebron James talking about fifty K.
Speaker 7: My first thing comes to my mind is like where
Speaker 7: I'm from, And you know, I was just picking up
Speaker 7: the game when I was a little kid and just
Speaker 7: having a love for the sport and was hoping that
Speaker 7: someday I'd be able to play.
Speaker 3: At the highest level.
Speaker 7: And I've been able to do that in and and
Speaker 7: really enjoy, you know, and really enjoy my career. So
Speaker 7: It's definitely honor. It's pretty cool. Should just see that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. It's remarkable.
Speaker 2: I feel honored to be able to have chronicled his
Speaker 2: entire career and be there when he was in the
Speaker 2: NBA finals, be there when he won an NBA title,
Speaker 2: a couple of NBA titles. Was there for all of
Speaker 2: Michael's NBA titles, And you know, that's what you want
Speaker 2: to be part of history, You want to watch history,
Speaker 2: and I was able to do both. And Lebron is
Speaker 2: an incredible player. No matter what you say about Lebron,
Speaker 2: you got it. You have to almost put a period
Speaker 2: at the end of the sentence. You can't put a
Speaker 2: comma or a semi colon or whatever you might whatever grammar,
Speaker 2: because you know the next thing you're going to say
Speaker 2: is is he better than Michael? Could he be Michael?
Speaker 2: What's he needed to do to be better than Michael?
Speaker 2: This is one of those you know, he reminds us
Speaker 2: now when you get to a certain level, you know,
Speaker 2: like Jannis has to remind us sometimes how great he is.
Speaker 2: Even though he's great, he has to remind us. I
Speaker 2: think he had a triple double last night. A joker
Speaker 2: that you get to that level and you're like, okay,
Speaker 2: and Lebron is reminding us almost on a nightly basis.
Speaker 2: And the fact that they are now, they're in the mix.
Speaker 2: They are truly in the mix to be a championship contender.
Speaker 2: And as I said a couple of weeks ago, if
Speaker 2: they play defense, and sometimes that's a big If you
Speaker 2: stay healthy and you play defense, now you've got everybody's attention.
Speaker 2: It's like Golden State has changed because of Jimmy Butler
Speaker 2: and watching last night. Jimmy Butler might not have a
Speaker 2: great game, but he takes care of the ball, he
Speaker 2: shoots free throw like, he does things where you go, okay,
Speaker 2: I mean you really have to keep an eye on
Speaker 2: what he does because Steph is so charismatic, so dramatic,
Speaker 2: and you can't take your eyes off of it. Jimmy Butler,
Speaker 2: you do take your eyes off of him, but then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden you'll see stats and you go, oh, okay,
Speaker 2: and he plays defense. These are little things that will
Speaker 2: mean a whole lot in a couple of months.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin.
Speaker 6: And the thing about Lebron is he's almost like Tiger Woods,
Speaker 6: where this was the expectation, like when we saw him
Speaker 6: as a high school junior, you were expected if he
Speaker 6: had Joe Johnson's career, we would consider him to be
Speaker 6: a bust. You know, crazy that sounds. You know, people
Speaker 6: would kill to have Joe Johnson's career. But he had
Speaker 6: to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest
Speaker 6: player ever for us to say, all right, you're worth
Speaker 6: the hype, Like he's the one guy that probably probably
Speaker 6: lived up to the hype more than any other player.
Speaker 2: Well, he put the spotlight on him on himself, but
Speaker 2: then Sports Illustrated put him on the cover as well,
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden things changed, Like Bryce
Speaker 2: Harper when he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated
Speaker 2: at what fifteen? Now, you know, I think was it
Speaker 2: Tom berduccu who did a cover story on him? And
Speaker 2: who did the It was a Grant Wall who did
Speaker 2: the cover on Lebron that story. So now all of
Speaker 2: it's it's changed. Now all of a sudden, you're part
Speaker 2: of the sports world vernacular. Now everybody knows you. Now
Speaker 2: they're waiting for you. And what he did in Cleveland
Speaker 2: with those teams, just to get to the finals against
Speaker 2: the Spurs is to me a herculean effort. There's a
Speaker 2: there's a couple of teams like Iverson with the Sixers,
Speaker 2: like you just go, how did he get them to hear?
Speaker 2: And with Lebron and that team. Now, granted the Spurs
Speaker 2: were you know, that's an all time team, but just
Speaker 2: the fact that he got them there, that that to
Speaker 2: me is as impressive as any of his titles that
Speaker 2: he wont because he took that team to an NBA finals. Yeah, Pauli.
Speaker 5: And after Lebron, Sports Illustrated tried it again a few times.
Speaker 5: They'd put a high school kid and say is this
Speaker 5: next Lebron? Jabari Parker out of Chicago and others, and
Speaker 5: it became the measuring stick, like you said, all right,
Speaker 5: we'll take a break, We'll set a on a pole.
Speaker 2: Question, Saquan's got a new deal. I was surprised at
Speaker 2: the amount. I'm glad he got it, but I was
Speaker 2: surprised because the Eagles are negotiating against themselves. The Jets
Speaker 2: have released Devonte Adams. Will he follow Aaron Rodgers? Could
Speaker 2: he go back to Green Bay.
Speaker 3: The Raiders. We'll have that for you coming up after this.

Speaker 2: So Lebron gets thirty four. The Lakers have won seven
Speaker 2: in a row. They win it won thirty six to
Speaker 2: one fifteen. I'm looking back on that six oh seven
Speaker 2: Cabs roster that lost to the Spurs four to oh
Speaker 2: in the NBA Finals. Larry Hughes, Zidrunas Ilgaskis, Drew Gooden,
Speaker 2: Eric snow Donielle Marshall, Damon Jones, Iron Knewball, Scott Pollard,
Speaker 2: Sasha Pablovic, David Wesley, Anderson Verajao, Daniel Gibson, Lebron, James Miikes,
Speaker 2: do you think the Spurs giggled maybe at any point
Speaker 2: during the NBA Finals when they went out there and
Speaker 2: just looked around. You got Duncan Janobili Parker.
Speaker 6: You're like, yeah, smart, I think a lot of the
Speaker 6: NBA did the same thing, because that summer after the
Speaker 6: Cavs went to the finals, Danny Ames said, it's Lebron
Speaker 6: and a bunch of guys that went to the finals.
Speaker 6: Go give me Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Let's win.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 6: This is who won the East. I'm sure the entire
Speaker 6: NBA was like, man, let's put a team together.
Speaker 2: I had a couple of football items here. The Eagles
Speaker 2: paid Saquon Barkley had one more year on his deal,
Speaker 2: and he probably I'm not going to say he would
Speaker 2: have held out, but I think they had to make
Speaker 2: that a little better, a little fresher. I think he
Speaker 2: was only going to be paid seven million dollars, but
Speaker 2: they're negotiating against themselves. They gave him a two year
Speaker 2: deal over forty million dollars, and I'm surprised, and not
Speaker 2: that he's not worth it, and I want running backs
Speaker 2: to get paid, but I'm thinking, if I'm the Eagles,
Speaker 2: you just let Darius Slay go, who wanted to play
Speaker 2: one more year, so you could save four million dollars.
Speaker 2: You could have kept him, and maybe you pay Saquon
Speaker 2: eighteen million dollars a year, and still that's that's a
Speaker 2: great price for running backs. Now, he gave you arguably
Speaker 2: the greatest season for a running back in history, at
Speaker 2: least according to the Eagles. Howie Roseman, their GM says
Speaker 2: it might be the bet. Now he didn't have a
Speaker 2: great Super Bowl, but He was certainly instrumental in getting
Speaker 2: you there in two thousand yards and I'm glad he
Speaker 2: got paid. I was just surprised that they It feels
Speaker 2: like they overpaid DeVante Adams.
Speaker 3: Let go by the Jets. Now where does he go?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: He had a run.
Speaker 2: Paul'll have the numbers here, But he had a window
Speaker 2: of about five six years, five years where he was
Speaker 2: he was one of the best two or three best
Speaker 2: wide receivers in the game. Does he go back to
Speaker 2: Green Bay? Could he help a young quarterback, young wide
Speaker 2: receiving room?
Speaker 3: Where else?
Speaker 2: Does he see where Aaron Rodgers is going to go
Speaker 2: and want to follow him? But DeVante Adams first Team
Speaker 2: All Pro four times in his career.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he had a run twenty eighteen to twenty twenty three,
Speaker 5: a six year run, four with the Packers, two with
Speaker 5: the Vegas He averaged one hundred and five catches per
Speaker 5: year in that six year run. He also led the
Speaker 5: league in touchdowns three different times, six Pro Bowls for
Speaker 5: first team All pros.
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer right now, right now? But it could cool?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 3: Could he?
Speaker 5: Could he be locked out of the Hall of Fame?
Speaker 5: What happens the next two years? I think he's put
Speaker 5: in too much good work. He's at nine hundred and
Speaker 5: fifty seven career catches. You get a thousand, there's your ticket.
Speaker 5: Used to be yeah, yes, used to be. Four Pro
Speaker 5: Bowls in a row is pretty special. All I'm sorry,
Speaker 5: four all Pros in a row?
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, mar it Yeah.
Speaker 6: But if he retired now, yes, but he can't play
Speaker 6: another four years and just be pedestrian, because they'll say,
Speaker 6: what happened the rest of the time you were healthy? Then,
Speaker 6: like you can't have a stretch of four great years
Speaker 6: and then the rest of it would be just all right.
Speaker 2: And he's expensive, I guess. And how old is he is?
Speaker 2: He thirty four? He's thirty two, thirty two? Okay, Maybe
Speaker 2: goes back to Green Bay. You know, maybe you get
Speaker 2: an opportunity. You know, you started your career there. I
Speaker 2: wouldn't go to New Orleans with his former college teammate
Speaker 2: Derek Carr. We already did that with the Raiders. But
Speaker 2: if Rogers goes to the Giants, I don't know if
Speaker 2: they'd be interested in Devonte Adams. By the way, I
Speaker 2: was looking at the numbers here because you know, I
Speaker 2: don't know if the Titans are gonna end up taking,
Speaker 2: you know, somebody at number one. That feels like they're
Speaker 2: trying to trade out of that. And the odds, according
Speaker 2: to DraftKings, the odds to pick number one overall in
Speaker 2: the draft have changed remarkably dramatically. The Titans are tied
Speaker 2: with one team best odds to have the number one
Speaker 2: pick in the.
Speaker 3: Draft, Paul the New York Giants.
Speaker 2: Yep, Giants need a quarterback and they would go up
Speaker 2: and get cam Ward.
Speaker 3: It feels like that.
Speaker 2: But the odds to pick number one overall Titans and
Speaker 2: the Giants minus one oh five. Then it's the Browns
Speaker 2: at plus five point fifty, then the Jets at fourteen hundred.
Speaker 2: Two days ago, the Titans were big favorites to take
Speaker 2: whoever at number one overall, followed by the Giants, then
Speaker 2: the Raiders, Jets, and Browns. So it's changed in the
Speaker 2: last two days. But this is where you start to
Speaker 2: get some real information, or at least you try to
Speaker 2: sort through this. You try to navigate through because if
Speaker 2: I'm a GM, an owner, a coach, why would I
Speaker 2: tell you anything? Now, Sometimes you'll get somebody who will
Speaker 2: tell somebody, and it might be a friend and it
Speaker 2: might be, hey, what are you guys doing with the
Speaker 2: second pick? All right, but don't tell anybody. Well, in
Speaker 2: this business, that just means you're going to tell somebody,
Speaker 2: But then you tell them, don't tell somebody, and then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden somebody says, you know, I heard,
Speaker 2: and now all of a sudden, you know it becomes fact.
Speaker 2: But I think the Giants want to move up. And
Speaker 2: if I'm that coaching staff, do I want Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: for a year? No?
Speaker 3: Do I want a quarterback for the next few years? Yes?
Speaker 2: If that quarterback is the right guy, if you think
Speaker 2: cam Ward is truly all of that in a bag
Speaker 2: of chips, then you take him. You go get him
Speaker 2: because you need him. And that coaching staff might buy
Speaker 2: some time. If you, hey, we want to develop a
Speaker 2: young qu quarterback, but you're going to bring in Rogers.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do that. He's expensive. And Plus, when you
Speaker 2: have coaching staffs that coach, they're coaching two seasons. If
Speaker 2: you'll follow me on this, if you've been there two
Speaker 2: or three years and you're kind of on the bubble
Speaker 2: of keeping your job, then those first eight games may
Speaker 2: decide if you get the next nine games that you're
Speaker 2: really you have eight games to prove yourself or you're
Speaker 2: going to get fired. And that might be happening in
Speaker 2: New York. That could be happening with Arizona. There's probably
Speaker 2: three or four teams where those coaches know we have
Speaker 2: to make something happen in the first half of the season.
Speaker 2: So the Giants are you might have that in Cleveland
Speaker 2: with Kevin Stefanski, the Browns head coach. He might have
Speaker 2: eight games to keep his job. And I think we
Speaker 2: usually look at the totality of a seventeen game schedule.
Speaker 2: Some of these franchises, they will pull the trigger here
Speaker 2: and the Giants and Brian Dable, he probably is looking
Speaker 2: at can I get past eight games? Can we go
Speaker 2: five and three? Can we go four and four? We
Speaker 2: can't go three and five, definitely not two and six.
Speaker 2: I'm a surprised they brought him back. If you're going
Speaker 2: to go after a young quarterback, I mean, that's still
Speaker 2: a coveted job. It's the New York Football Giants, and
Speaker 2: he did start out great, but all of a sudden
Speaker 2: you look around and say goodbye to Saquon Barkley, and
Speaker 2: the way they did say goodbye and then Daniel Jones
Speaker 2: is now with Minnesota. Like, you know, you can have
Speaker 2: owners or coaches, gms who can do stupid things, but
Speaker 2: when you do stupid things when.
Speaker 3: It's on TV, that's even dumber.
Speaker 2: And that's why nobody wants to do hard knocks because
Speaker 2: the Giants were going just Saquon bar Pleague, Hey, if
Speaker 2: you want to go out there and test the market, hey,
Speaker 2: but just make sure you come back to us.
Speaker 3: Oh it was terrible.
Speaker 2: I cringed when I was watching that, like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: gonna say to my girlfriend, Hey, you want to go
Speaker 2: out and test the market, but you let me know
Speaker 2: you got to come back.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, see you.
Speaker 4: Nobody's gonna offer him. Trust me, Okay, we got this.
Speaker 3: Could you imagine?
Speaker 2: Can you imagine though the conversation that they probably Joe Shane,
Speaker 2: Brian Dable ownership the mayors. Hey, you seem pretty confident
Speaker 2: that Saquon's not going anywhere. Yeah, trust me, I got this.
Speaker 2: He's coming back. Nobody's going to offer him anything. Uh
Speaker 2: what the Eagles offered?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: And then you don't match that, and he has one
Speaker 2: of the greatest sea if if he becomes a Hall
Speaker 2: of Famer.
Speaker 3: That's what's going to be brought up. That video he
Speaker 3: played over and over and over.
Speaker 2: You know, if he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame,
Speaker 2: because that changed his career, it changed his life. He
Speaker 2: would have been with the Giants and he would have
Speaker 2: been one of those guys that man, he had a
Speaker 2: lot of talent. He just didn't play on a good team.
Speaker 2: It'd be almost like, you know, Christian McCaffrey when he
Speaker 2: was in Carolina. Where you go, man, that guy's talented.
Speaker 2: They're not going anywhere. Sa Gwin Barkley got to get
Speaker 2: out of jail. Card and man Or man may take
Speaker 2: him all the way to Campton. Yes, marv.
Speaker 6: If Saquon finished his career at Philadelphia and they have
Speaker 6: that big tribute video, it's going to say the date
Speaker 6: in the year, and it's going to go right to
Speaker 6: that hard Knots video of the Giants owner goes if
Speaker 6: Saquon goes to Philadelphia, I'll never be able to sleep,
Speaker 6: and then shows just his highlight film the rest of
Speaker 6: his career in Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: According to DraftKings, the Packers have the best odds to
Speaker 2: be DeVante adams next team. The next team on the list. Hmm, okay,
Speaker 2: you know probably all of the would surprise you. The
Speaker 2: second favorite to the Land Devonte Adams Marvin.
Speaker 6: The Bills.
Speaker 5: No, Paul, I'm picking this one because I think it's
Speaker 5: the one he should go to. The Washington Commanders.
Speaker 3: Nope, Todd the Rams.
Speaker 2: The Rams are on the list, but they've got three
Speaker 2: other teams in front of them. Seaton, you got to
Speaker 2: pick Devonte Adams next team, the.
Speaker 4: New England Patriots.
Speaker 2: The Patriots are on there, but it goes as follows
Speaker 2: the Chargers, followed by the Niners, then the Rams, the Steelers, Broncos,
Speaker 2: and Patriots are tied.
Speaker 4: Forty nine ers. Is tasty. That could be a fun
Speaker 4: look for him.
Speaker 2: Well, if you're getting rid of the debo in Brandon Nyuk,
Speaker 2: I understand that if you're the Rams, you're getting rid
Speaker 2: of Cooper Cup. The Steelers could certainly use him, and
Speaker 2: the Chargers see that.
Speaker 3: I don't do you want to.
Speaker 2: Play in an offense that really wants to run the football.
Speaker 2: They downplay the like the Rams would be my team
Speaker 2: if I'm doant day Adams in that group or the
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. A couple of phone calls in here,
Speaker 2: Doug in North Carolina is back. Good morning, Doug. What's
Speaker 2: on your mind today?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 10: Then I have a and Against the Grain for you guys.
Speaker 10: But first, can I give you a quick movie recommendation? Yeah,
Speaker 10: have you seen September five?
Speaker 2: Fritzi has And every time I've tried to watch it,
Speaker 2: I know I kind of have to get in the
Speaker 2: mood to watch something like that because it's a heavy movie.
Speaker 2: But Todd raved about it thought it was great.
Speaker 10: Oh so did I, so did I. It's just seeing
Speaker 10: Jim McKay was wonderful again and it was really well done.
Speaker 10: I think you would enjoy it. But Against the Grain
Speaker 10: is also related to the movies because of this show.
Speaker 10: The other day, at the age of fifty two, I
Speaker 10: sat down and watched Twosiers, and I have to tell
Speaker 10: you it doesn't hold up. It just it feels kind
Speaker 10: of cheesy, like a nineteen eighties movie. And because you've
Speaker 10: seen it when it came out, I'm sure it was great.
Speaker 10: But we've seen it done since and we've seen it
Speaker 10: done better with Remember the Titans and Miracles. And I
Speaker 10: have to tell you, I don't know if Marvin has
Speaker 10: watched it yet, but I didn't think it was all
Speaker 10: that great. Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't expect a hot take early this morning. Now, Marvin,
Speaker 2: You're never gonna watch Hoosiers.
Speaker 6: No, I'm gonna watch it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you should.
Speaker 6: Got homework. I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 3: You should. It's a homework assignment.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 2: Just watch it for the tribute to Gene Hackman, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Norman Dale's pretty good in that movie.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna watch that. Then I'm gonna watch Enemy of
Speaker 6: the State for the eighty ninth time.
Speaker 2: I just watched Runaway Jury for the first time. That's
Speaker 2: a movie that's over twenty years old.
Speaker 5: Love that movie.
Speaker 3: I'm going I never saw this.
Speaker 2: I don't think it feels like every John Grisham movie
Speaker 2: is sort of the same.
Speaker 3: But I had a good cast in it.
Speaker 2: Uh, John Cusacks in it, Rachel Weiss, Jennifer Beal has
Speaker 2: a cheese in the Jury.
Speaker 3: I'm like, Jennifer Bial's yeah, looking good.
Speaker 6: I'd love to be sequestered with her.
Speaker 3: Yes, Marvin, I.
Speaker 6: Got another movie hot take.
Speaker 3: Sorry.
Speaker 6: John Chusac is in the best baseball movie ever, Eight
Speaker 6: Man Out.
Speaker 3: It's the best baseball movie ever.
Speaker 6: It's the best baseball movie ever.
Speaker 4: That is a great movie ever.
Speaker 2: No no ever no no verb, no ver, no ver
Speaker 2: no no.
Speaker 4: They kind of get a little bit of the uh,
Speaker 4: come on now the man. Yeah, so you're saying they
Speaker 4: fixed the game for a little extra scratch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, eight man l Kamiski's the Chiefs game.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Good, not great, No good, not great.
Speaker 2: It's like comparing Goodfellas to Godfather that you compare Eight
Speaker 2: Men Out to Bull Durham.
Speaker 4: Okay, and who's who in which scenario? Trying to figure
Speaker 4: out which one is the slight.
Speaker 2: The slight would be that you're you know, the Godfather
Speaker 2: is better than Goodfellas and Bull Durham is better than
Speaker 2: Eight Men Out? Yeah, right, does anybody think Goodfellows is
Speaker 2: better than The Godfather?
Speaker 4: I don't know that. It's you know, it's not like
Speaker 4: we're saying, like, you know, uh, like the Godfather and
Speaker 4: Weekend at Bernie's two true, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I mean, they're they're pretty close.
Speaker 3: And you know, Bull Durham is better than Eight Men Out.
Speaker 6: What you're saying, they're both great movies, because when you
Speaker 6: just compared The Godfather Godfather to Goodfellas, you just named
Speaker 6: both great movies.
Speaker 2: Goodfellows is a really good movie. Godfather one of the
Speaker 2: greats of all time. I mean, Bull Durham isn't a great,
Speaker 2: great movie, but it's a better movie than Eight Men
Speaker 2: Out Field of Dreams. You don't love Field of Dreams
Speaker 2: more than Eight Men Out.
Speaker 6: Not more than eight Man Out. I love Field of Dreams, yeah,
Speaker 6: but not more than eight Man Out. Maybe because of
Speaker 6: the story and maybe because of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I mean I will say that I think
Speaker 4: The Natural should be in here somewhere, because I think
Speaker 4: The Natural is a great movie.
Speaker 6: If you said the Natural, I'm with you there.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 6: I like Bull Durham, but I'm not gonna put Bullderm
Speaker 6: is like the Godfather of baseball movie.
Speaker 4: First of all, Bull Dourham is not a baseball movie.
Speaker 4: It's a movie about relationships.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It's about love. Yeah, it's really a love story.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: It is a love doesn't even.
Speaker 2: Belong to love love story. Well, hoos, yours is about
Speaker 2: relationships too. All right, let me take a break, just
Speaker 2: getting started on the program. Can't get sidetracked, camp, Come on,
Speaker 2: keep your focus, do keep your focus.
Speaker 3: Play the day up.
Speaker 1: Next, be sure to catch the live edition of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am
Speaker 1: Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp Oh

Speaker 3: Check this out twenty two season's forty years.
Speaker 12: As fifty thousand and two points, crowd of Steel, Buzzy
Speaker 12: back to Lebron made a rooting three pooter is to
Speaker 12: go over to fifty thousand market courtesy of Spectrum Sportsnet.
Speaker 3: That's your play of the day.
Speaker 2: So Lebron is just over fifty thousand career points regular
Speaker 2: season postseason. The next closest active player is Kevin Durant,
Speaker 2: and he is a little less than five thousand points behind.
Speaker 2: Probably won't be some playoff basketball for Kevin Durant in
Speaker 2: the Phoenix sense. Although they got the win, they swept
Speaker 2: the season series against the Clippers. Most cars on the
Speaker 2: road could use a little TLC at Mako. They bring
Speaker 2: your car back to life. Affordable paint chumps like collision repairs.
Speaker 2: Get a free estimate today. Uh oh, better get Mako.
Speaker 2: In the book In the Natural The Natural, Roy Hobb
Speaker 2: strikes out at the end, but in the movie he doesn't.
Speaker 2: We have to have a happy ending, don't we? We
Speaker 2: have to have that Hollywood ending there. Sometimes you kind
Speaker 2: of like a movie that I don't know doesn't always
Speaker 2: end with rainbows and unicorns, Marvin like Eight Men Out,
Speaker 2: It wasn't a good ending for them.
Speaker 4: Yes, s it does happen sometimes where they'll be like
Speaker 4: this crazy like I don't know, Norwegian horror movie or something,
Speaker 4: and you're like, the end of it is just awful.
Speaker 4: It's terrible. You're like, wow, I can't believe everybody died
Speaker 4: in such a horrible way. And then someone will remake
Speaker 4: it in the United States and you watch it and
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, wait a minute, They'll that's.
Speaker 6: Not how it.
Speaker 3: Everything's good, everything is good.
Speaker 4: How did that guy he got out of the being
Speaker 4: buried alive?
Speaker 3: And then somehow did Wow?
Speaker 4: Interesting.
Speaker 2: I went to see a movie and I think Kelly
Speaker 2: McGillis was in it, and she was in Top Gun
Speaker 2: with Tom Cruise the original.
Speaker 3: She was in Witness with who is Harrison Ford? So
Speaker 3: the movie is called Ruben Ruben.
Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about it, and I went to
Speaker 2: see the movie in an afternoon in Atlanta when I
Speaker 2: was working at Cienna. So I go in there, I'm
Speaker 2: watching the movie. You know, there's like nine people in there.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, I'm going, all right, watching, watching,
Speaker 2: all right, you know, And next thing I know, the
Speaker 2: teacher I think Tom Conti might have been his name.
Speaker 2: He's got a noose around his neck and he's got
Speaker 2: a chair underneath him and he's thinking about committing suicide.
Speaker 2: His dog comes over. His dog is named Ruben. Well,
Speaker 2: guess what happens when he yells out Ruben Ruben, Ruben
Speaker 2: knocks the chair out from underneath him, and the movie ends.
Speaker 5: That's awesome.
Speaker 2: I walked outside, you know, when you go see a
Speaker 2: movie during the day. I love doing that, and you
Speaker 2: come outside it's bright, and I walked outside and I
Speaker 2: just wanted to talk to somebody. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: because you know, there eight people in the theater and
Speaker 2: are all kind of scattered, and I'm like.
Speaker 3: Anybody, does anybody know about that yet? Like crazy? So
Speaker 3: Ruben Ruben was the name of it.
Speaker 2: And I think those are the last words in the
Speaker 2: movie as his dog kicks over the store the chair
Speaker 2: that's holding him up.
Speaker 5: Yes, pointing, So we're not saying bad movie endings, dark
Speaker 5: movie ending.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm okay with a dark movie.
Speaker 5: Like seven with Brad Pitt.
Speaker 3: I like that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Uh, Tony and Ohio, Hi, Tony, Tony,
Speaker 11: what's on your mind?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Damn, I got a couple more unbreakable records for you.
Speaker 10: I've got about Nolan Ryan's seven no hitters and five thousand,
Speaker 10: seven and fourteen strikeouts.
Speaker 3: I don't know about the no hitters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do know about the no hitters because because
Speaker 2: nobody's gonna go even if you've got a no hitter going, Yeah,
Speaker 2: my bad, Tony, You're right what they don't go more
Speaker 2: than five innings. You can have a no hitter and
Speaker 2: then they go up. Yeah you know what the analytics say,
Speaker 2: we got a sent you down and then fifty seven
Speaker 2: hundred strikeouts.
Speaker 3: Uh. Cindy in North Carolina, Good morning, Cindy.
Speaker 13: Hi Dan. I've got another unbreakable. But if I could
Speaker 13: sneak in a little baseball movie that has kind of
Speaker 13: a dark ending, but it's a comedy, and that's saying
Speaker 13: the drug.
Speaker 3: Slowly, okay, Robert, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 13: Anyway, the un I'm gonna pay homage to my homestead
Speaker 13: of North Carolina. It's Richard Petty's two hundred NASCAR wins.
Speaker 13: No in e fact, he actually in one season one
Speaker 13: twenty seven races.
Speaker 2: That'll that'll never be broken. But thank you, Cindy. I
Speaker 2: didn't know he won twenty seven. I didn't know they
Speaker 2: had twenty seven races back then, Fritzy, as Fritzi likes
Speaker 2: to point out, the Bad News Bears didn't win that
Speaker 2: game against the Yankees. At the very end, right, they
Speaker 2: almost won time.
Speaker 6: They were like down three. I guess it was basically load.
Speaker 6: They were all coming home and at the very end,
Speaker 6: he's out at the plate, which would have either won
Speaker 6: the game.
Speaker 12: Or tied it in.
Speaker 2: But they felt like winners and they got to drink
Speaker 2: beer afterwards each other with beer. Rocky lost. I think
Speaker 2: that made that a better movie that he lost the
Speaker 2: first one. Well, it did set up, you know, subsequent movies.
Speaker 2: But I would say Rocky losing at the end, yes, yes, uh, Tod,
Speaker 2: do you have something.
Speaker 6: No, we were just giggling about some of the seeds
Speaker 6: from Bad News Bears. Oh and Tanner Boyle, who's just
Speaker 6: like the best character, the second.
Speaker 2: Baseman, Tanner Boyle, though he was gritty and gutty, I
Speaker 2: mean he tried, yeah, Marvin.
Speaker 6: He was also the kid that went to the alternative
Speaker 6: high school. Oh he did like the bad kid, That's
Speaker 6: what I mean, Like, Oh, you know somebody that was
Speaker 6: just bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was him, Tanner Boyle Hey Loopas.
Speaker 6: Maybe if you wipe your nose once a while, people
Speaker 6: wouldn't give you so much credit all the time.
Speaker 3: And Tatum O'Neill looked legitimate on the mound. She did.
Speaker 3: She looked really good.
Speaker 2: She might have looked better than Tim Robbins's Nukelelusha on
Speaker 2: the mound. Tatum O'Neil looked athletic all right. Speaking of pictures,
Speaker 2: segue justin Verlander Giants picture. Will John is coming up,
Speaker 2: Iron Eagle. He was on the call at the garden
Speaker 2: last night with the Warriors and the Knicks. Two more
Speaker 2: hours to go on this Wednesday. Fritzy Seaton, Marvin Paully,
Speaker 2: you'res truly back after this
