1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Albert Brier one of my favorite NFL insiders, 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: NFL reporter, lead content strategist for the Monday Morning Quarterback, 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: and I know that Albert lives vicariously through us. The 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: Tragger grills are fired up, Albert. The grilled Chicago Dogs, 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: chili cheese dogs today, bacon wrapped hot dogs and tater tots. 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: That's how we do it here on the Dan Patrick Show. Yeah, 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: not bad. Like I feel like I almost insulted Pearloff 9 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: when I texted him and I guessed that they were 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: sloppy Joe's You guys are way way beyond that. Oh yeah, 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah. You should commit on a Friday and 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: meet Friday. Come on down. You guys are too far, 13 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: So maybe I'll make the trail now, I'd be nice. 14 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: All right. We've been talking about this Tom Brady situation 15 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: that the report is that he played on a fully 16 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: torn MCL the entire season. What what are gamblers? So 17 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: what information should they be getting here? Like? What is 18 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: the NFL going to go after towabay with this information 19 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: that you just come out. It's a fair question because 20 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: I think we've always known the injury reports have related 21 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: to gambling, right, Like, I don't think that's been a 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: big secret, although the NFL could never actually say that 23 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: over the last thirty forty years, however long it's been 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: since they've done that. But I do think that now 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,479 Speaker 1: that it's out in the open a little bit more, 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: and like the league is more free to speak about 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: this stuff, and because they're going to be doing partnerships 28 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: with casinos, I think I might be mistake about this. 29 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: I think it's a couple of teams already have those, 30 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: like the Caesar's partnerships and everything else. You know, maybe 31 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: they're going to get a little more serious about it 32 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 1: because in the past, I think they've worked with teams 33 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: on these things and try to make sure that at 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: least competitively, it was equitable from team to team. But 35 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: now that you're actually, you know, out in the open 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: doing partnerships with gambling companies, and maybe there'll be a 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: little bit of a shift. It'll be interesting to see 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: because I do know, and I tell you this, you 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: know flat out, Dan like Brady doesn't like his injuries 40 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: being on that report like he would do when he 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: was in New England. Do whatever it took to make 42 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: sure that those injuries wouldn't be on the report. And 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, played with ligament damage in his hand in 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: twenty and thirteen, played with a separated shoulder in twenty eleven. 45 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: Let's played through a lot of stuff, and I know 46 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: it was always a priority of his to keep that 47 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: stuff off the injury report, and not even like as 48 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: a team competitive thing, but just to prevent players from 49 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: going after parts of his bodies that were banged up. 50 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,119 Speaker 1: And I understand that, but his Brady keeping that from 51 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots, or the Patriots keeping that from the world. 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: And that's what's so interesting about it too, Dan is 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: like you look at it and like Brady's almost got 54 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: his own ecosystem. So like you know, where most teams, 55 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: like with most players, it's like the team's trainers, the 56 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: team's doctors are going to know everything. Brady's sort of 57 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: got his own like set up, you know, with Alex 58 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Guerrero and all the different people that he works with. 59 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: So he's one of the few players where it's plausible 60 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: that like maybe they did hide it from the team 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: and maybe and look like I'm just playing Devil's advocate here, 62 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: but if your Brady, and your priority is to keep 63 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: it off the injury report. Maybe it makes sense for 64 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: you to say, Alex and I are going to keep 65 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: this to ourselves, and we're not going to get the 66 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: Bucks in trouble. We're just going to keep it from them. 67 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: I think it's He's one of the few players where 68 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: it's actually plausible that maybe the trainers and the doctors 69 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: have a little less knowledge of the injury than you 70 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: might think. I just had a tweet from one of 71 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: our listeners, John and Georgia, Exactly why do betters have 72 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: a right to know? Seriously, where does this right come from? 73 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: Professional sports somehow has an obligation to mitigate a better's risk? Question? Mark, Really, 74 00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: why how is that? I'm like, it goes back like 75 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: to like when I was a kid. So I don't 76 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: know if I can even properly answer that. Dan, you 77 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: might have better insight on it than me. I would say, well, 78 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: they don't want insider trading. You don't want to have 79 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: somebody tells somebody and it could really Let's say you 80 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: don't know Patrick Mahomes is going to play right, and 81 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: you decide to jump on, you know, saying the Chargers 82 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: playing Kansas City because Mahomes, you know, is not going 83 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 1: to play. That's what they're trying to avoid. Or he's 84 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: going to play, but he's got an injured toe and 85 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: he's really they don't want the money to move based 86 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: on you know, somebody like me deciding Okay, I've got 87 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: the injury information and now I'm going to commodify it 88 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: right like, and I'm going to turn into something that 89 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: I can sell that makes sense, Like that part makes 90 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: sense where they wouldn't want that. Explain to me what's 91 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: going on with DeShawn Watson from the league's perspective. Can 92 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: they put him on the Commissioner's exemplist? They can do 93 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: what they want. I can tell you this, And you 94 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 1: know they went through this a couple of years ago 95 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: with Tyree Hill. And remember the question at the time 96 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 1: was why weren't they putting him on the Commissioner's exempt 97 00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 1: list over the course of the spring and I think 98 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: but I remember, right, the Chiefs actually came to an 99 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: agreement with Tyreek to stay away from their spring workouts 100 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: because they just wanted to let the legal situation play out. 101 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, the league's stands on these things is they 102 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: won't do it until they have to. And what's interesting 103 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: is because the fine system has changed, and because you 104 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: can't forgive training camp finds anymore, that juncture in the 105 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: calendar might come sooner. Now it might be the start 106 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: of training camp for them. And so I think what 107 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: everybody's waiting for is the legal situation to play out. 108 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,520 Speaker 1: And I think based on the way some of these 109 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: things have gone over the last few years, really over 110 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: the last ten years, I don't know what the league 111 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: wants to come down with any sort of ruling without 112 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 1: their being legal clarity on how all this is going 113 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: to play out. And so I think my senses, the 114 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719 Speaker 1: league would probably try to kick the can down the 115 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,559 Speaker 1: road as long as the legal situation is still playing out. 116 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: And the way they kicked the can down the road 117 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: Dan is that examp list, right, Like they put the 118 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: player on paid leave and they basically push pause in 119 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing. And they've been able to push pause 120 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: in the whole thing because Deshaun didn't show up in 121 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: the spring, right, so it wasn't an issue. But now 122 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 1: with the training camp reporting date being whatever it is, 123 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: a week and a half, two weeks away, they you know, 124 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: you would think that they would be they would have 125 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: to make a decision on whether or not to put 126 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: them on the examp list, unless you know, Watson's lawyers 127 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: can find a way to reach a settlement between now 128 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: and July twenty seventh, But then the league is probably 129 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: going to discipline DeShawn Watson. I'm guessing, right, Yeah, I 130 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 1: mean I don't think. I mean I've been asked a 131 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: lot like will he play in twenty twenty one. I 132 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: think there's a possibility and there's a good chance he 133 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: plays in twenty twenty one. I do not think he'll 134 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: be playing for any team in Week one. So I 135 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: think that this, and this is regardless of what happens 136 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 1: in court, because you know, I think it's gotten to 137 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: the point where the commissioner can say, you put yourself 138 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: in a bad spot, and in turn, that put the 139 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: league in a bad spot, and so you brought you 140 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 1: brought negative publicity to the NFL, which is basically the 141 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: grounds for suspending Ben Roethlisberger in twenty ten. And so 142 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: I think, you know, Ben Roethlisberger, if there's a settlement, 143 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: I think the Ben Roethlisberger case becomes the president and 144 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: they say all right, like we're going to take you 145 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: off the field for eight games, and if you hit 146 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: certain conditions, it goes down to six or six games, 147 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: and with certain conditions it goes down to four. I 148 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: think that's probably what we're looking at. And then once 149 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: you have that clarity, then I think we can start 150 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: to talk about, you know, when is he going to 151 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: be traded? Are you more curious about Deshaun Watson over 152 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks or Aaron Rodgers? I would 153 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: say Aaron Rodgers just because, like I think that there's 154 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: a good chance, there's a decent chance that some sort 155 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: of arrangement is worked out, where if we don't have 156 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: clarity in the legal situation, like the league is going 157 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: to find a way to make it so Deshaun Watson 158 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: doesn't show up in Houston because I don't think anybody 159 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: wants what would happen if he showed up there, right, Like, 160 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I don't think the league wants it. I don't think 161 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: the Shawn wants it. I don't think the Texans want 162 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: it right. Whereas with Rogers, there's a hard date July 163 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: twenty seven, he shows up, he doesn't like to me like, 164 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,520 Speaker 1: that's the most interesting one and I think there's a 165 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: much better chance that Rogers plays for the Packers in 166 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one than Watson plays for the Texans in 167 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. But there's obviously a lot that needs 168 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: to be worked out, And you know, I think a 169 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: lot of what needs to be worked out is going 170 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: to come down to can you fix the communication issue 171 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: at least temporarily so the Packers, who believe they have 172 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 1: a championship roster right now, can have their quarterback back 173 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: in a short term in the very least. What happens 174 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: the twenty seventh with Aaron Rodgers, he explained the financial 175 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: aspect of that. Let's say he doesn't show up. If 176 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't show up, then they can start finding him 177 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: fifty thousand dollars. They aren't required to start finding him 178 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: unless there's some sort of extenuating circumstance. They're required to 179 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: start finding him fifty thousand dollars a day. If he 180 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: misses preseason games, he gets docked more. And the difference 181 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 1: this year versus what it was two years ago and 182 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: before that is that those fines cannot be forgiven, and 183 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: teams in general would almost routinely forgive these fines like 184 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: you remember Aaron Donald, Like I think it was two 185 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: full training camps he missed, right, paid zero for that, 186 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: right Like he came in the rams forgave all the 187 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: fines like no problem. And that was sort of part 188 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,000 Speaker 1: of the impetus for the owners saying we're sick of this, 189 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 1: like teams aren't adhering to this, We can't really use 190 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 1: this as a hammer. And so certain owners said, like, 191 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: let's put it in the CBA that you can't forgive 192 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: the fines now, so we all have a very real 193 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: hammer here. And so now like the packers are in 194 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: this spot where it's like or the packers and Rogers 195 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: are in this spot where if he misses days of camp, 196 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: they have to find him and they can't go back 197 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: and and and forgive those fines. Now, there are obviously 198 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: things you can do, like you could build that money 199 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: back into a contract extension, right like, so there are 200 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: things that you can do. But it definitely I think 201 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 1: kind of casts a different light on on holdouts. And 202 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: that's why I think like what we're gonna see with 203 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: some of these and the rogers is separate for it, 204 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: Like Stephan Gilmour, for example, with the Patriots. I wouldn't 205 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: be surprised if Stephan Gilmore shows up on July twenty 206 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,559 Speaker 1: seventh and then says that torn quad I had last 207 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: year not ready and it's not going to be ready 208 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: for a little while. So it's not going to be 209 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: ready to probably a new contractor is ready right right, 210 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: It's like the instead of a holdout, it's a hold in. 211 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, is cam Newton still the starter in New England? So, 212 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: like I would say, the most the way New England's 213 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 1: program is set up, they'll tell you the spring is 214 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 1: set up to focus on fundamentals, on teaching and on conditioning. 215 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 1: That said, what a rookie can accomplish in the spring 216 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: is he can set up a competition for the summer. 217 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 1: And that's what they'll all tell you is they'll say 218 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: a rookie can't win a job in the spring, but 219 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: he can at the very least put himself in the mix. 220 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: And from everything that I heard over the last three months, 221 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: Mac Jones did that. So Mac Jones has created a 222 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,839 Speaker 1: situation where he can compete for the job in July 223 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: and August. Now, is Bill Belichick going to be comfortable 224 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: going with a rookie quarterback in week one? Would he 225 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: be comfortable putting mac Jones into the spotlight in week 226 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: four where Tom Brady is going to be coming back 227 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: into Foxborough, which should be a big spot you for 228 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. I don't care how prepared you are 229 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: to be in the NFL, and mac Jones is prepared 230 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: for the NFL. You know, that's an open question. But 231 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: I do think you know, and you know again, like 232 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: just based on everything that I've heard that mac Jones 233 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: did enough from a learning standpoint and from an on 234 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: field performance standpoint in the spring to set up a 235 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: competition starting in late July. And I think at the 236 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: very least it's gonna look like a competition when we 237 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: get to training camp. Which LA team is more interesting? 238 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: That's a great question. I'm on the Matthew Stafford bandwagon, Dan, 239 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: like I think, like I think the general public has 240 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: a much, like a much lower opinion of him than 241 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: people in football have. Like I think if you talk 242 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: to scouts, if you talk to coaches, they think this 243 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: guy is outstanding, like and the idea of putting him 244 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: in Sean mcvay's offense, and we can argue about like 245 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: the way that Rams are set up, and how they 246 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 1: don't have any first round picks until five years from 247 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: men now and all that different stuff. But the idea 248 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: of Sean McVay with Matthew Stafford right now today throwing 249 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: to Robert Woods and Cooper Cup and having Cam Akers 250 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: behind him, and you know, on the other side defense 251 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 1: with Aaron Donald Jalen Ramsey, I think it's fascinating and 252 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: so like I wouldn't be surprised if Matthew Stafford's the 253 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: MVP of the league, and so I would I would 254 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 1: give the slight edge to the Rams. But like what 255 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley is walking into with the Chargers is awfully 256 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: interesting too. So I think, you know, the first year 257 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: of that stadium actually able to have fans in it 258 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it, in the Super Bowl 259 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: being there now, I think both those teams have a 260 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: chance to be really, really good, the Rams and Super 261 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: Bowl contender. I don't think the Chargers are quite there yet, 262 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: but there's talent on that roster, Dan, you know, I mean, 263 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: you know, it's not just justin Herbert, it's you know, 264 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: Mike Williams and and Joey Bosa and Derwin James and 265 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 1: young guys like Kenneth Murray like, that's a it's a 266 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: really good team. And so i'd say rams legitimate Super 267 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: Bowl aspirations Chargers. I think I think the Chargers may 268 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: be more of a pain in the ass for the 269 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: Chiefs than anyone else in their division. Put it that way. 270 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: Open invitation, join us on a meat Friday there, Albert, Okay, 271 00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make it down there.

How far 274 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: are you guys from the train station? Pretty close? Yeah, 275 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 1: pretty close. We can pick you up.

By the way, Brando shamble I believe picked 293 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: Colin Moore Cowa to win the Open Championship. Let me 294 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 1: start there, was that your pick? Because that's a good 295 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: pick right now? Well, I appreciate that. I think I'm 296 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: like two for one hundred and ninety seven picking on 297 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: Wednesday nights since I started picking players. But I appreciate 298 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: ate that out. I'll ride this way why I can. 299 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: But this is a guy who's making his debut in 300 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: an Open championship, and I know he played in the 301 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: Scottish Open. I just don't know how much prep time 302 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: you need when you play courses like this, Brandal. I mean, 303 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: that's pretty quick turnaround to all of a sudden be 304 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: playing well on a golf course like this. Yeah, it 305 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: used to be that you needed a lot of prep 306 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: time out anymore. I mean they have things called Google 307 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: Earth and they can sort of plot out there their 308 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: missus left and right around a golf course. He doesn't 309 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 1: have missus really, he doesn't have big missus ads for sure. 310 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: And then you add to the fact that the golf 311 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: course is a little softer and it normally plays so 312 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 1: I think that mitigates some of the experience you might 313 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 1: need to have around there. What is it like though, 314 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: that the shots you have to have you have to 315 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: have imagination, I would think, But well, yeah, right, yeah, Well, 316 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: typically at an open the course goes out and back, 317 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: so you'll you know, you'll have a left to right 318 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 1: wind going out, say, and then a right to left 319 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 1: is coming back in, so you'll need to hold the 320 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: ball into a left and right wind and then working 321 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: with the right to left wind, so you'll have to 322 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: be able to work the ball in both directions. This 323 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: golf course just goes around in circles, not like all 324 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: the other seems like rotation courses. But mostly you have 325 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: to play shots that are through different windows, you know, 326 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: you gotta and Colin more Cow was talking about them, 327 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: so unlike most course in most weeks on the PGA 328 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: Tour in the United States, you got to work the 329 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: ball up and down left or right, right, the left, 330 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: so and you have the best ball strike in the 331 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: world right now leading the event. What happened to Phil Mickelson, 332 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: You know, really, I think that's more apripo to say 333 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: about the PGA Championship. He's only had He's only had 334 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: one event all year long where he was better than 335 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: I think twenty first. He hasn't had a top twenty 336 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,280 Speaker 1: all year long, except for one week where he just 337 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: woke up and played like Phil Mickelson when he was 338 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: twenty five years old. We shot an eighty the first day. Well, look, 339 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 1: the worst part about this golf course is that the 340 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: rough is really, really thick. And even Bryson to Shambo 341 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: earlier in the week was talking about the need to 342 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: find fairways here. Preston hasn't talked about the need to 343 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: find fairways since he's been on tour, but he said 344 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: so this week, Phil, as we know, typically drives it 345 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 1: all over the lot. You get in this rough, you 346 00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: cannot recover well. And that brings us to Bryce into Shambo, 347 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: and he was critical of the uh the driver not 348 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: the person who is the driver of the driver. But 349 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: how surprised were you that d Shambo threw Cobra under 350 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: the bus? Never seen anything like it ever. I mean 351 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: maybe there's been a time or two where players had 352 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: problems with equipment, but you know, those things happened behind 353 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: closed doors and they go sort them out. But you know, 354 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 1: he switched drivers. This is not the driver that he 355 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: won the US Open. He switched drivers from when he 356 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: won the US Open. And this is just really poor 357 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: planning on his part. He should have gone to the 358 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: event with seven or eight different heads where he could 359 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: have switched him out if he was having a problem 360 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: with this with this new driver. And because of COVID restrictions, 361 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: his whole equipment team couldn't be there. So you know, 362 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: this is this would be like you having an off 363 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: show and blaming it on the danets or your producers 364 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: or something. Uh. It was. It was bizarre. Never I 365 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 1: never heard anything like it. If I if I owned 366 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,280 Speaker 1: that equipment company, he wouldn't be playing my equipment. We 367 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: got off thke Wait, you're saying not to blame my 368 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,959 Speaker 1: guys when we have a bad show. Oh okay, all right, 369 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: where were you a decade ago. Bright And the one 370 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: thing that I thought of with uh Deshambo was why 371 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: are you hitting a driver on this course? To begin with? 372 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: It's not a long it's not a long course, and 373 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: it's about accuracy. I you know, sometimes you have to 374 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: you bought into the show that you've created or that 375 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: people want to see. If he goes up there with 376 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: you know, a three iron, you know the gallery's going 377 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 1: to be going, Oh, he doesn't have the driver, like 378 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: is he bought into? Hey, you came to see me 379 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: swing two hundred miles an hour and my arms may 380 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: fall off. Yeah, hey, listen. If it's a great point, 381 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: you know, if he hits irons down there, and he 382 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: can hit his three iron almost three hundred yards, So 383 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: if he has iron down there and he's in the 384 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: same place as everybody else, he's still gonna have two 385 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: clubs less than everybody else into the GREENI so I 386 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: have the trajectory and spinner right. So in a lot 387 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: of aspects, from a strategy standpoint and from just an 388 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: equipment structure standpoint, this is all on him and throw 389 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: his equipment company under the bus, which, by the way, 390 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: I made some calls yesterday to equipment companies talked to 391 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 1: various engineers. The engineer at Cobra who designs equipment is 392 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: fellow by the name of Tom Olofsky. He's sort of 393 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: renowned as one of the smartest of not the smartest 394 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: engineer in golf and all of golf, so completely through 395 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: his equipment company and the engineers under the bus. All 396 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: that being said, Deshambo is great for the sport like 397 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: he does give you a tune in factors. As much 398 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 1: as I love Jordan Spieth, he doesn't have the tune 399 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: in factor that Bryson Deshambo does. Phil has tuned in 400 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: how many guys would you say, true tune in factor 401 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: that maybe somebody's on the periphery of being a golf fan, 402 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: how many how many golfers? Yeah, Phil moved the needle 403 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: obviously Tiger in an unprecedented way. But Speech definitely moves 404 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: the needle. He absolutely, in this country moves the needle. 405 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: Rory moves the needle. But Bryson is compelling in a 406 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: lot of different aspects. Not only has he done something 407 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: nobody's done, incorporate long distance moves into his golf swinging 408 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: and then improve his driving in a crazy way. He's messy, 409 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: he makes mistakes. He yells the reporters and cameraman for 410 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: not protecting his image. Uh uh. He's socially awkward in 411 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: the media center. He wants to tell you how much 412 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: he knows. Kind of like Phil, but Phil does it 413 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: in a funny way and Bryson does it in I 414 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: don't even know. I don't know how you describe it, smug, ridiculous. 415 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: He makes mistakes all the time off of the golf. 416 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: They're not colossal mistakes, They're they're clumsy mistakes. It's entertaining 417 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: as hell. Are you Are you team Keepka or team Deshambo. 418 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: Listen what I thought when Keepka was calling him out 419 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: on social media and asking people to go out in 420 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: the heck League, I thought kept across the line. I 421 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: like Kepta. I really enjoy listening to him most of 422 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: the time. I love his golf game. He's James Dean 423 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: to Bryson's Eddie Haskell. Uh. You know, Bryson is rubbing me. 424 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: It's tough to It's tough to pull for Bryson when 425 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: he's acting like this. It really is. By the way, 426 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: Speeth was my pick. So yeah, look of all the 427 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: people on that leaderboard. Everybody's got some weakness. Almost almost 428 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 1: everybody is dealing with some weakness. He's the one right 429 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 1: now that doesn't really have a weakness. He's driving it 430 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 1: better than he has. He's an unbelievable iron player. And 431 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: unlike more Cow and Louis, Like more Cow is not 432 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: a great putter, Louis Station is not a great ball striker. 433 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: Speeth is great at everything. I saw where Terrell Hatton 434 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 1: broke his iron on eighteen. I don't know if it 435 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 1: was a wedge or whatever it was. He but he 436 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,919 Speaker 1: stepped on it a couple of times and then snapped it. 437 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: What's the worst meltdown you ever saw on a golf course. 438 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: I was playing with a guy once who we were 439 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: ride a cart, so he had to take, you know, 440 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: a handful of clubs over to his spot where he 441 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: was chipping. This is a tour player, and he hit 442 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: a poor chip and then he took his wedge and 443 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: decapitated all the irons at his feet. There were about 444 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: five or six of its, just clin click, clinging. They 445 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: were all popping in the air and like in like 446 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 1: in a say, we said, like seven or eight holes 447 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,200 Speaker 1: of play, you know, he literally had no irons left 448 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: after he was gone. It was hilarious. Uh gosh, um. 449 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: You know, I saw a guy, well, one of my buddies, 450 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 1: Dudley Hard. He back when they used to measure how 451 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: far you hit it off with the team with the 452 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: lines and not meters right, so there was always somebody 453 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: in the fairway who would walk off your drive and 454 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 1: the yard he started two fifty whatever, and Dudley, he 455 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:01,520 Speaker 1: had one of the worst tempers ever on tour. And 456 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: so he hits this drive on a driving hole, it 457 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: hits a tea, or it hits a tree right off 458 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: the tee, and it comes back like twenty yards in 459 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: front of us. Okay, and I wish I could stand 460 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: up and give you this, But out out two hundred 461 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 1: and fifty yards away is a volunteer with a clipboard 462 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 1: and he's meant to walk this off. So now he 463 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: starts taking these exaggerated big steps from two fifty as 464 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: if he's going to walk two hundred and thirty yards 465 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: back to the tea, right, And so he's given it this, 466 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: you know, with the clipboard, and Dudley heart season coming, 467 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: and Dudley's dislike a volcano ready to explode and he 468 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: just starts screaming at the top of his lungs. Just 469 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: give me FN fifty yard, give me the yard. You know, 470 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: he's given it this It was one of the damn 471 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 1: funniest things I've ever seen. Didn't Rory throw a driver 472 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: into the pond? One yeah, Bay Hill? One year, he 473 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: threw a three iron into the pond, you know, right 474 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: out in the middle of it was a great throw. 475 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,719 Speaker 1: It's a great throw, and it was on Donald Trump's 476 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: goff course. Donald had it fished out and he came 477 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: up on our set next day and gave it to us. 478 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 1: Any updates on Tiger Woods Now, I've heard nothing, absolutely nothing, 479 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: you know. I look, I'm like you. I mean, you 480 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 1: call doctors, you ask you know, what the probability is 481 00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: him coming back, and all of them say the same 482 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: thing that it just depends on this one particular bone 483 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: in his foot. If it shattered it, he's probably done. 484 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: If if it was a clean break, he could probably 485 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,640 Speaker 1: come back. That's all I've heard. And that's just from doctors, 486 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: not from Tiger's camp. Obviously, always great to talk to you. 487 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: Give my best to Justin and rich Learning where Yeah, 488 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: thank you.

Who are going to be the replacements 513 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: they have? They have an ample amount of players that 514 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: they can pick from from the pool. Um. I know 515 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: a player that has been um campaigning behind the scenes 516 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: of trying to get on this team, and that's Trey 517 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: Young to the Atlanta Hawks. Uh. You know, we hear 518 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: her talk of Duncan Robinson with the Miami Heat, the 519 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: sharp shooter as well. So Collangel has some he has 520 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: some sub potition to make. But there's there's still a 521 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 1: bunch of players that I've talked to behind the scenes 522 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: about up the up words of teen that would like 523 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 1: the opportunity to have one of those two spots. So 524 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: they'll they'll have a good they'll have a good amount 525 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 1: of options. Why was Kevin Love on the team to 526 00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: begin with? That is a good question, dp Um experience. 527 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go with experience, you know, I'll go 528 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: with that. That's the best I got DP, I got 529 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: a lot of experience. Come on, I this is where 530 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: I would have hoped, Julius Randall, Zion Williamson, where you 531 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 1: could you could have younger players get that opportunity to 532 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: play in Olympic competition. I mean, I mean, that's what 533 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: I was hoping for. And I don't know what's going 534 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 1: on behind the scenes, but I'm just like, I was 535 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: really surprised that Kevin Love was given an invitation so 536 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: well DP. As far as Zion Williamson goes, it's hard 537 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: for me to believe that Team USA did not ask 538 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: him to play that like that as just like the 539 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: you know, that's just like the golden standard of having 540 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: a young promising player on the roster of the court. 541 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: He didn't even get an invitation to try out, now, 542 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: Zion Zion Zion, I believes I had an opportunity, as 543 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: I had an opportunity, okay, which leads me to believe 544 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: he probably declined. Oh okay, the Jason Kidd hire in Dallas. 545 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: What does that mean for Luca don Chick, Well, just 546 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: somebody who's played the game at that position at a 547 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 1: high level, somebody who I think with the Mavericks are 548 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 1: hoping that Jason Kidd can even accelerate Lucas learning curve 549 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: in his NBA And that's funny to say that, you know, 550 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: saying that, you know that he's an All NBA player 551 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: right now. But Jason Kidd just just his pedigree, his 552 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: knowledge of the game. And they believe that Jason Kidd 553 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: has become a much better coach over the last two 554 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: or three years getting earned the championship with the Lakers. 555 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: I talked to Rob Polinka over there with the Lakers, 556 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: and he said the things that they were able to do, 557 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 1: that some of the innovative sets that they were putting 558 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: out there on the floor, he credited Jason Kidd and 559 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: so he got a lot of praise over there. Lebron 560 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 1: James also praised Kid. So I think they feel like 561 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 1: Kid can take this team to the next level. Now. 562 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 1: I want to say this DP is that it was 563 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 1: somewhat in the plans a few years ago for Jason 564 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: Kidd to join the coaching half of Rick Carlisle. Something happened. 565 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:05,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if that would I don't know if 566 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 1: Carlisle didn't want him on the staff, but something had 567 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 1: happened and to cause that thing to fizzle out, and 568 00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: so that never transpired. And so now what ultimately has 569 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: happened is the Dallas Mavericks are coming back full circle 570 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: and getting a guy that they want a part of 571 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: organization to begin with. Yeah, but it didn't it didn't 572 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: make sense that Rick Carlisle decides to leave a couple 573 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: of years left on his contract. He says, hey, you know, 574 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 1: lucas gonna win multiple championships. Here did it come down to? 575 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: Luca didn't want Rick Carlyle as his head coach, and 576 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: Mark Cuban had to make that decision to get rid 577 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: of him. Well, I'll say this. You know, it was 578 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: a poorly uh it was a poorly um announced secret 579 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: that Luca didn't really get along with Rick Carlisle. You know, 580 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: so that that was that was in within league circle. 581 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 1: We heard about that, you know, through throughout his tenure. 582 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: You know, Rick carli as a coach who wants a 583 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: lot of control, and I think he's given control to 584 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: Luca because he's just such a great phenomenal player. But 585 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, he's used to, you know, controlling the offense, 586 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: controlling defense, calling sets, and he had to allow Luca 587 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: to have more rain being at the player that he 588 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: blossom into. But those two guys just never it was 589 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: never just pure bliss with those two guys, if you 590 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I don't I don't have 591 00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: any information to say that. Luca, you know, needed Carl 592 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,640 Speaker 1: out to be out to stay there. But it wasn't 593 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 1: a secret that they you know that they made this decision. 594 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out what's going on in Portland 595 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,000 Speaker 1: with Damian Lillard, and I put myself in his position. 596 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: You know, you're thirty years of age, You're an unbelievable talent, 597 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: but you're nowhere near an NBA championship. Um, and he 598 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 1: looks around and he's got a roster that's full of injuries. 599 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,680 Speaker 1: You you know, are you gonna win with CJ McCollum 600 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: as your running mate? Uh? What is your place in history? 601 00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: Like you start to think these things when you get 602 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 1: to age thirty. You got a good relationship with Dame. Um. 603 00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: Can he can he he get his wish and uh 604 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:29,600 Speaker 1: and stay in Portland? Or can he get his wish 605 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 1: and leave Portland? What do you think is more likely 606 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,240 Speaker 1: to happen? That's a good question, d Pete. I appreciate 607 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,959 Speaker 1: that Tea up because I have a I have a 608 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: story with Damian Lillard dropping this morning any minute, so 609 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,240 Speaker 1: I was able to talk with him and here in 610 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: Vegas to just get just try to find out what's 611 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 1: going on in his mind as it pertains to his 612 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 1: teamure with the Portland's replaces, because as a right now, 613 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: like this is the most frustrated he's you know, I've 614 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: said that since the season ended, since they were it 615 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: was kind of like an upset with Denver because they 616 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: didn't have two of their best players and Denver still 617 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: beat Portland. And so Dame, and I say this, and 618 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 1: I say this to members of the Portland Trail Blazers 619 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:20,480 Speaker 1: organization as well, is that Dame has always told me 620 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 1: he wants to compete for a championship. He wants to 621 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,239 Speaker 1: play for a title. And Portland has always been a 622 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: team that they're going to be good, they're going to 623 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 1: make the playoffs, but we all know how the story 624 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,719 Speaker 1: goes at the end, they always fizzle out. And if 625 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: Dame is telling me he wants to compete for a championship, 626 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: I have to hold the team to that standard as well, 627 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: even if the team's objective is not to compete for 628 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: a championship. Okay, but this article that's dropping today on 629 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: Yahoo's Sports, does Damian Lillard say that he wants to 630 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: be traded? No, he doesn't. He doesn't say that we're 631 00:33:56,560 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 1: we're We're not. We're not even to that point. It's 632 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: not even it to that point. You know, there's some 633 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: conversations that need to be had for it even for 634 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,799 Speaker 1: a decision like that to even be made. But as 635 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:11,880 Speaker 1: a right now, you know, he just wants to see 636 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,120 Speaker 1: a change and he wants to get away from the norm. 637 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: So that is his focus. Yeah, I just wonder. I mean, 638 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 1: let's just apply logic to this. They're not winning anything 639 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 1: anytime soon, right right, Well, he'll if that's the case, 640 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,399 Speaker 1: if if if the roster is not conducive to being 641 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: able to play amongst the elites. There he has a 642 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 1: decision to make. Is there a possibility is Ben Simmons 643 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: involved in in you know, this equation of that maybe 644 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,399 Speaker 1: Dame could end up in Philadelphia. I mean, I don't 645 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: like to do talk radio throw out crazy trade proposals, 646 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 1: but Ben Simmons is available. The question is who wants him? 647 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:00,440 Speaker 1: What do you do with him? What do you have 648 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: to give up to get him. Could you see Ben 649 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: Simmons in Portland, See Ben Simmons in Portland and damon Philly, 650 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,320 Speaker 1: or just Ben Simmons Importland, or Ben Simmons in Portland 651 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 1: and CJ McCollum in Philadelphia, Like, do you see a 652 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: scenario where Portland is interested in Ben Simmons. Yeah, I 653 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,080 Speaker 1: would think yeah, I would think there's some interests in 654 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons on Portland's side, but I'm not sure at 655 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: the cost of CJ. And if Portland is thrown in CJ, 656 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,040 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take a little bit more to 657 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,800 Speaker 1: get Ben Simmons. So with that being said, I don't 658 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: see the Philly Portland as a right now. I don't 659 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: see the Philly Portland thing transpired. Where do you see 660 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons going. That's a good question. You look at 661 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,360 Speaker 1: look at the teams that are being room where you 662 00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 1: talk about Minnesota, Sacramento. These aren't good teams, you know. 663 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,560 Speaker 1: If these are teams that are you know, that are 664 00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,640 Speaker 1: young and they're still trying to develop players, you don't 665 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: hear a lot of top notch teams, you know, clamorant 666 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: to get this Simmons right now. But I think he's 667 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: got to go to a place where he can sort 668 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,719 Speaker 1: of not hide, but he needs to go where there's 669 00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: a little less pressure on every game, every moment, every shot, 670 00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 1: every free throw. Like you know, I I said, Orlando, like, 671 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,320 Speaker 1: let him go and let him run a team, because 672 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,319 Speaker 1: we've seen when mbiad is not in there, he's a 673 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,640 Speaker 1: different player. And I just wonder if he got away 674 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 1: and got into a situation. Minnesota is not right for him, 675 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,480 Speaker 1: Sacramento is not going to be right for him. But 676 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: I would think one of these other teams where he 677 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,080 Speaker 1: could just sort of Houston like he could sort of 678 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: run the team a little bit. That That's what I'd 679 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: be curious about. Well, those teams, like I still put Minnesota, 680 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 1: Sacramento into those teams that you mentioned, could DP because 681 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: there won't be there, there won't be the spotlight on 682 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: him in those in those areas. We're talking about Philly, Man, 683 00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: that's one of the biggest markets where the fan base 684 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,120 Speaker 1: is just so intense that if you're playing bad, poorly, 685 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: they're gonna let you know, and they're gonna let you 686 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,560 Speaker 1: know like nobody else has ever let you know. So 687 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: he needs to get into an environment where he can 688 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: have mistakes, and he still needs to develop. As great 689 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,200 Speaker 1: as he is. Believe it's a two time All Star, 690 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,400 Speaker 1: one of the best defensive players we have in this league, 691 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: but he has a lot of development to go, and 692 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: I think he's going to reach his full potential right 693 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:29,400 Speaker 1: now if he's on one of those lower market teams 694 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: which won't have a lot of spotlight on him, where 695 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: he can make mistakes and still try to prosper. What 696 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: do you think the media is gonna do react to 697 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: Chris Paul if the Suns don't win this NBA Championship. 698 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,919 Speaker 1: I mean, it's going to be it's gonna be tough, man. 699 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: You know, we've seen Chris Paul play at a high level, 700 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,399 Speaker 1: fizzle out towards the end. His best run before this 701 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: point was in Houston and he got to the conference finals. 702 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: He was a hamstring away from events, and now they're 703 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 1: up to Oh. This would just amplify all the talk 704 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,439 Speaker 1: of people saying that Chris Paul can't get it done 705 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: in the clutch times and the clutch moments. But there's 706 00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: still a lot of time left for him to rectify that. 707 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: But it's going to be a bad look if the 708 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 1: Suns aren't able to get this done. It's always great 709 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: to catch up with you, Chris, safe travels, have a 710 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: great weekend, and once again thank you DP anytime bro 711 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: take care of That's Chris Haynes
