WEBVTT - DPS Hour 3 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.720 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday, Dan and the 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.600 Dans Dan Patrick Show come on in stale while check 0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:13.319 in with the Lakers in about twenty minutes from now. 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.360 See what Plan A or Plan B or Plan C is. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.200 And we did reach out to Mark Jackson yesterday. It 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.480 was mentioned in a tweet by Sam Amock, he is 0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:29.160 a writer basketball writer covering the Lakers for the Athletic, 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:32.440 that Ron James would be very enthused to have Mark 0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.840 Jackson as his next head coach. I reached out to Mark. 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.920 He said, nobody's called me yet, and I think he 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.760 was traveling to Atlanta for a playoff game. And maybe 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.040 we'll have Mark on here sometimes soon. The Las Vegas 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:50.800 Raiders have their quarterback, Derek Carr just signed a three 0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:54.760 year contract extension and it's worth one hundred twenty one 0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:00.120 million dollars. He's the longest tenured quarterback in the AFE. 0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:04.200 And you know this is it wasn't long ago when 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.480 the Raiders were looking at getting Kyler Murray. You know 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.800 John Gruden was in love with Kyler Murray. Yeah, reportedly 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:15.200 wanted Kyler Murray. And it always feels like they might 0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:19.480 be moving on from Derek Carr, But I think when 0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.720 you know what you have and then what else can 0:01:22.760 --> 0:01:24.840 you get? Because that team is ready to win. Now 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:27.399 you know they're they're a playoff team and they went 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.600 toe to toe with Cincinnati. Cincinnati won that playoff game 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.679 in Cincinnati. But you know, everything's sort of settled down 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:35.720 in the front office. You got a new head coach, 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.399 you got weapons there. It's a good team, tough division, 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.720 and there's nobody else out there that you're going to 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:47.400 bring in U Baker Mayfield or Jimmy Garoppolo or this 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:50.040 is your best option right now. I'm fine with him. 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:54.520 I think he's a very good quarterback. Is he great? No? 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.720 But then how many great quarterbacks are there in the NFL? 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:02.120 How many quarterbacks can win a game, not single handedly, 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.040 but you know that they're going to lead you to victory, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.000 and not that that many. And Derek Carr is a 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.359 good quarterback in a very tough division for a team 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:15.320 that is a playoff team. So I certainly understand that. Yeah, Paul, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.040 would it be fair to say the perception of Derek 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.880 Carr is that he's the fourth best quarterback in that division? 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:25.959 Mahomes Wilson. Yeah, Herbert Herbert, the fourth best quarterback in 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.880 the AFC West, makes forty one million dollars a year. Yeah. Yeah. 0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.680 Price of poker has gone up considerably. Phone calls are 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.320 welcome eight seven seven three d P show email address 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.520 DP at Dan Patrick dot com. We spent a lot 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.000 of time talk about the Nets handling the Cavaliers. Kyrie 0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:45.160 was wonderful last night, so was KD. I love the 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:47.840 fact that America got a chance to see Darius Garland, 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.680 who I have high praise for. He's a very, very 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.840 talented player. With the Cavs, Anthony Edwards the same getting 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.400 on the main stage, and the Timberwolves beat the Clippers. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.200 Then you have the other play games. I'm not sure 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.160 the availability of Luca don Chick Steph Curry, they're right 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.200 now if he for the start of the playoffs, but 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:09.120 they have benefited from the end of the regular season too. 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.440 When they have to start their respective series and you 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.680 have San Antonio against the Pelicans, I don't know if 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.000 we're going to see Zion Williamson. It feels like if 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.840 the Pelicans would advance and maybe get into the first round, 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.919 maybe you would see Zion Williamson. He has been cleared. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.440 He's been scrimmaging five on five. But and then you 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:35.440 have the Atlanta Hawks against the Hornets tonight, which should 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:38.040 be a lot of fun with Trey Young and LaMelo 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.960 Ball eight seven seven three d P show email address 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.160 DP at dan Patrick dot com Twitter handle a DP 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.000 shows say good morning to those watching on Peacock download 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.040 the app. You can watch for free. And we say 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.880 good morning to iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio, and our radio 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:58.640 affiliates around the country. The Reds president Phil Castellini appeared 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:01.400 to tell fans yes Your Day, that they had no 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.880 choice other than to accept the teams paired down roster, 0:04:06.440 --> 0:04:09.840 and then he apologized later on. Here is the first 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:15.400 comment of the Reds president. This was on seven hundred WLW, 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.839 the Cincinnati Reds radio station there and this is what 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.480 he said. The question is involved as well, Sloane. He 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.640 asked her about the quote show little faith in us, right, 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.839 and I saw you got right through the coal. So 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.040 you help people who say, look, faith has earned fifteen 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.359 years of ownership. They haven't want to the extent that 0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:35.680 we would like. And so you had my faith, but 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.520 you've lost it. Why should that fan maintain trusted me. Well, 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.080 where are you gonna go? Let's start there. I mean 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.400 sell the team to who I mean that's the other thing. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:46.280 I mean, you want to have this debate. You know, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:48.080 if you want to look at what would you do 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.760 with this team to have it be more profitable, make 0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.680 more money, compete more in the current economic system that 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:55.800 this game exists, it would be to pick it up 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:58.440 and move it somewhere else. And so be careful what 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:03.560 you asked for it. Okay, imagine if you're since a 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.640 Reds fan, you hear the president saying, hey, what are 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:09.520 you gonna do? Maybe we should move this team. Well, 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:12.880 I think people probably got to Paul Castellini and said, 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.479 you might want to clean that up. He went on 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:20.440 TV Channel five in Cincinnati, and here is the question. 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.880 In his answer, some comments from earlier this morning on 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.200 the radio or making their rounds on social media. I 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:27.760 was just gonna try to give you a platform to 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.280 respond to kind of what you said earlier today. The 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.279 answer is, are you gonna abandon being a Reds fan? 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.599 Are you gonna abandoned following this team? We haven't abandoned it. 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.599 We haven't abandoned investing in the team and the community. 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.920 So the point is, how about everybody just settled down 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.120 and celebrate and cheer for the team. You can hate 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.200 on us all you want, We're not going anywhere. We 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.800 haven't abandoned our commitment to winning and investing in this 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.160 franchise and in this community. So the point is, stay 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:54.520 tuned and be a fan. Celebrate these guys and look 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:56.120 what they did in Atlanta, and come out here and 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.320 celebrate that today. Whatever the message was heard that what 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.880 I mean, stay loyal to your team and the players 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:05.120 they give you one hundred and ten percent. Okay, I 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.159 understand that. But when you're saying, hey, what else are 0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.679 you gonna do? You know, I mean that that's the quote, 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:14.760 that's that's the poll quote there. You got no other choice. 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.240 You got a root for the team there. Instead of saying, look, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.920 we're in this together. Are we gonna have highs, Yes, 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:24.240 we're gonna have lows? Yes. Can we outspend these other teams? 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.520 The answer is no. But I think bring in your fans, 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.479 and fans are going to be upset. I mean, that's 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.120 what makes you a fan. The only fan base I've 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:35.240 ever been around where it felt like they were always 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:40.000 they were too positive, and that's Saint Louis Cardinals. They 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.960 don't boo. And Tino Martinez, who was with the Yankees 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.160 and ended his career I think was Saint Louis. He said, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:49.000 there are times I wish they would because I was 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.520 so used to that in New York. That they care, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:54.800 they're passionate. Not that Cardinal fans don't care. They care 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.120 in a different way. They want you to six s 0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.080 eight Hey, oh for eight hey, come on, you'll get 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.560 him the next time. In Philadelphia, you know they're gonna 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.159 yell at you, call you bum. Certain fan bases do that, 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.920 but this is a great baseball town. Having grown up 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:14.920 in Cincinnati, they expect you to win. We grew up 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.160 knowing that you were going to win with a big 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.240 red machine, or at least you were going to compete. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.320 And then you know, they captured Lightning in a bottle 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.120 in nineteen ninety with Eric Davis and the Reds beating 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.480 the Oakland A's. But you know, you're you're trying to 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:33.000 welcome in your fan base, embrace them. But if you're 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.480 their payroll is twenty first, all right, you better be 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:41.360 really really good, Like you know, Tampa Bay Tampa Bay 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.960 has been really good at developing players, signing them to 0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:48.480 long term contracts that are not as much as they 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:50.480 would make on the open market. But you were keeping 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.880 you know, like Evan Longoria, you know, sign them to 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:54.920 what an eight or nine year deal like you're bringing. 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.920 You're keeping those players in as long as you can. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:01.800 You got a wonderful picture in Hunt Green. There are 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.440 positives there. It's a shame that Joey Vado is his 0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:07.600 you know, the age that he is, because he's such 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.800 a wonderful personality there and in a great player. But 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:14.560 I think you don't turn off your fans by saying, oh, 0:08:14.600 --> 0:08:16.800 what are you gonna do? You know, maybe we move 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.840 the team elsewhere. Yes, Ton And as bad as anger 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.240 and disappointment and booing and all that are, there could 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.080 be nothing worse than an apathetic fan base. You know, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.040 some people think that people don't care about the Falcons. 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:28.600 I don't want to single them out, but there are 0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.960 teams and franchises where they're not showing up, where they 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:33.800 don't care. That's got to be worse than fans coming 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.120 out and letting you know their upset that they're not winning. Yeah, Paul, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:40.680 your Reds I think have made the postseason four times 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.760 in the past twenty five years. Yeah, which, and there's 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.679 other teams that are just just as bad, yeah, or worse. Yeah. Man, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.720 it's a fan base that, yeah, we we know we 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:54.160 can't afford these guys. You know, you're not getting a 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.360 big time free agent here. You've got to be smart 0:08:57.720 --> 0:09:00.280 these teams. Front office has got to be smart than 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.079 some of these other teams, because do you get a 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.880 free agent, do you draft somebody? You know, take a 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:10.600 chance on somebody. That's what you know, middle market media 0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.360 markets are faced with here. Yeah. And it seems like 0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:16.040 going back to when you were younger and the Reds 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.400 had all those great players they stayed for a while. 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.240 It felt like a seven eight year run with like 0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:23.160 Bench and Conception and those guys, that free agency was 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.000 just not that big of a thing yet. Well, you 0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.280 wouldn't be able to keep the big Red machine together 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:33.439 for more than you know, two or three years, because Johnny, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.160 you had a Hall of Famer just about it. Every position. 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.720 You say, you had bench in Perez, you had Morgan Concepts, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:42.359 you owned Pete Rose, Ken Griffy's senior says oar Geronimo 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:46.760 Dan Greese and George Foster, Like you had really good 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.760 players and they would have gone elsewhere, you know, they 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.560 some of them would have been scooped up and in 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.040 the free agency market, Yese. I wonder what a team 0:09:55.080 --> 0:10:00.000 like that would cost in like modern dollars. I don't 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.600 I don't even think the Yankees or Dodgers could afford that, right, 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.240 Like we're saying, you pro rate. These guys were like 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.560 consider the best at their position. Some of these guys 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.880 are not. Like they kind of made an All Star team, 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.360 right right. I mean Joe Morgan went back to back 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.920 MVP and he wasn't even the most popular player on 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:20.680 the team. So you had Pete and Prez and you 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:25.120 had bench and yeah, I get the frustration. I mean 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.240 that as a fan, you can only buy in so 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.800 long before you want to, you know, Cubs fans. Cubs 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.720 fans were labeled as you know, lovable losers. Hey, they 0:10:34.760 --> 0:10:38.480 don't care. Well, they did care, and then then they 0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.520 didn't start to show up for these games. They're like, uh, 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:45.760 you know, everybody's kind of laughing at us. And then 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:48.400 you look at what the Cubs are now, you know, 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:52.480 they dismantled, They dismantled after winning in twenty sixteen. I mean, 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:58.640 they're all gone, Bryant Rizzo buys, they're gone. But the 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.840 prices are crazy there, and that's a big market. I mean, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:05.839 Chicago is a big market, obviously, and they were apathetic 0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.040 for a long time. They were pathetic for a long time. 0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.680 So I get the frustration. Now you just want to 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:13.600 know we want to be in. You know, I always 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.600 said the Philadelphia seventy six or fans when they were 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.120 going through the process, they should have lowered ticket prices 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.719 and just said, hey, we're gonna be losing, and we're 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.960 gonna try to lose without telling everybody we're trying to lose, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.600 and we want you in with us. This isn't going 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.439 to be a great product, but we're going to build this. 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.840 We're going to make this something. So as a fan, 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:40.000 I'm with you. I'm going in. There's no consumer fraud. 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.760 I know what we're doing. And that's all you want 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.840 when you show up is the team trying to make money, 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.200 is the team trying to make a good product on 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:51.800 the field, And that's all you want, is a fan. 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.160 And I think because of that, that's how you get invested. 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.320 When you see something all of a sudden, you go, boy, 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:00.480 you gotta go watch this guy plaque or if this 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:03.840 team's pretty good, this team comes out. We've seen some 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:07.120 teams come out of nowhere. I can't City Royals a 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.040 few years ago and you're like, where did they come from? 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.800 That's exciting. And then you hope that you you know, 0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:16.680 management is not going to let you down, that you 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.360 have invested in them, that yeah, these are smart guys, 0:12:21.360 --> 0:12:24.199 that they'll eventually bring us back. You know, it was 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:28.320 just unfortunate comment, like what are you gonna do? What 0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:30.840 are you gonna do? You know, the president of the 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:33.960 Reds probably doesn't do too many interviews, and that's probably 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:39.360 a good thing because I'm guessing the scenario is our 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.440 situation is a bar in a bar room crowd. I mean, 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.000 listen to it again. So this is a local radio 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.640 show and you know, all of a sudden, you're out 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:52.440 at some event and you say this sloony asked her 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.480 about to quote show a little faith in this, right, yeah, 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.440 and I saw you got right to the coal so 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.160 you can help people who say, look, faith has earned 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:01.960 fifteen years of ownership. They haven't wanted the extent that 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:04.320 we would like and so you had my faith, but 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.160 you've lost it. Why should that fan maintain trust it? Well, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.720 where are you gonna go? Let's start there. I mean 0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:13.040 sell the team to who? I mean that's the other thing. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:14.920 I mean. You want to have this debate. You know, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:16.680 if you want to look at what would you do 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.400 with this team to have it be more profitable, make 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:22.320 more money, compete more in the current economic system that 0:13:22.360 --> 0:13:24.440 this game exists, it would be to pick it up 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.040 and move it somewhere else, and so be careful what 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:32.240 you asked for it. Yeah, yeah, not the approach, Yeah, Paul. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.600 We brought this up kind of facetiously a while back. 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:36.400 If you're an owner of a team and you don't 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.760 make the postseason for ten years, you must sell. If 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.559 that were some type of rule in sports, I think 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:42.600 fans would be in favor of it. You get ten 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.520 seasons as owner and if you can't make one postseason, 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:47.360 which is not that hard in any sport. Well, I 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.280 would love to see fans actually own a piece of 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:53.680 the team. Yea, like Buffalo. The Buffalo Bills are getting 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:56.480 a new stadium and fans are gonna have to pony 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.480 up citizens what seven hundred million dollars. You should get 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.440 a piece of the team. It should be like the Packers, 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:06.920 like do something for your fan base, Like, hey, we 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:11.600 might be moving. Okay here you know raise our you 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.880 know our taxes. Here, we got to build another stadium. 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.400 And then you raise the ticket prices, so you hit 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.239 them twice. Yeah, point, But then that that Bill's shareholder 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:23.760 meeting would be a wild scene. Man, there'd be tables, 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:29.320 there'd be I like it, yeah, Todd, They'll never do it, 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:30.880 but it'd be nice to see the courage of fans. 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:32.640 They'll get to go and say, what are you gonna do? Well, 0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.200 we're not gonna go to the games, we're not gonna 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.400 body of the merchandise. And uh then we'll see you 0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:38.000 want to hit your pocket. That's what we're gonna do. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:39.880 We're gonna turn our backs on the team and there'll 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:41.920 be an empty stadium. That's what we're gonna do. Thank 0:14:41.920 --> 0:14:46.360 you too. Well, Yeah see, I don't necessarily mind the 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.320 stadiums being built with taxpayer money. The part of it 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:56.560 that really chaps my hind chap is, uh parking. You 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.720 have to pay for parking. You gotta pay like fifty 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.040 bucks for parking. That the part that's like, you know what, 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:05.920 screw you guys, that's what's gonna keep you from going back. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.480 I don't well, I don't go anyway, so I'm good. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.800 But see, I put my money where my mouth is. 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.600 I don't go to any games. Wow, you're making a statement. 0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:16.960 That's why I moved two hours from any major league 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.680 sports as far away as I can take. That Yankee 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:24.760 Yeah stadium, bunch of crap. Yeah. I remember the first 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.720 time I parked at the new Yankee Stadium and I went, 0:15:27.880 --> 0:15:31.480 how much is this? And uh that was That was 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:35.480 an eye opener there, and then what are you gonna do? Yeah, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:41.560 park a mile away, not in the Bronx, not at night. Yeah, 0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.440 scene's right. Parking You pay the money, and there's no 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:45.960 you don't get anything for it. You pay your twelve 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:47.680 dollars for a beer, you get a beer. You pay 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:49.960 for your ticket, you get a game. Parking get nothing. 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:51.760 When I was a little kid, we used to go 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:54.840 to White Sox games and they had limited parking and 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:56.600 you could park on the south side. And I've told 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.120 you this before. You parked in neighborhoods that were done, 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.040 you know, not great neighborhoods and there'll be kids on bike, 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.240 seven year olds. Hey man, it's five bucks to park there, 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:06.080 and you're like, this is the side of the street. 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.560 It's perfectly legal. Doc, I can't tell you what's going 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:09.640 to happen in your car if you know, if you 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:12.440 don't pay them. Cabrini Green, No, Cabrini was not far. 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:14.880 It was called Robert Taylor. Homes were across the Damna rail. 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.720 But there was the neighborhood around the Old Komiski Park 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.000 was It was tough, and it was not well lit, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:23.680 and there was no very little parking. I remember parking 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.880 one time at the Old Komiski and Uh, I had 0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:30.280 one of these gentlemen come up and say, uh, you know, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.520 I don't know how much it was. It might have 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:34.760 been ten dollars. He goes, that'll be ten dollars, and 0:16:34.800 --> 0:16:37.560 I go wait for what he goes, to make sure 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:41.400 your car is here when you come back, Like protection protection?

It's always a better 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.119 day when I see Chris Haynes, Senior NBA insider for 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.760 Yahoo's Sports. Chris, we just stumbled upon something. We were 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:54.639 talking during the commercial break, the greatest, most talented, most talented? 0:18:55.400 --> 0:19:00.760 How about most skilled duo of all time? Most skilled? 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:04.920 Where would k D and Kyrie rank on your list? 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.560 That's a good question, DP, and thanks for having me back. Man, 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.879 we're talking about the best skilled duo. It's hard to 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:17.159 look anywhere else aside from Kadi and Kyrie, because those guys, 0:19:17.800 --> 0:19:21.000 you know, when you talk about one on one isolation basketball, 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.040 being able to get their own shot, create off the dribble, 0:19:24.200 --> 0:19:27.760 posts whatever, those two can do it all. So even 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.680 if you're talking about Michael Jordan's Scottie Pippen, I don't 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:36.159 know even Lebron Kyrie, that dudeo Lebron Dwayne Wade. Still 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.320 it would be hard for me to argue against Kadie 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:44.000 and Kyrie. Um what if well Curry and KD playing 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.720 together at Golden State, UM Magic and Kareem from a 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:52.440 skilled position, I'm still I'm still rocking with with Kadi 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.000 and Kyrie. I mean, Steph, as great as Steph is, 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:58.439 like he can't get his own basket like Kyrie can. 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.960 So that's why we talk ab our skill and that's 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.359 and that's different. You know, you're talking about what's the 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:05.960 best duo, then we could have a different conversation. But 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.200 when you're talking skill set, you know, just pure putting 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:11.160 the ball on the ground, being able to do whatever 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.000 you want to do with it, Like nobody can do 0:20:14.520 --> 0:20:18.000 what KD and Kyrie can do. But best duo, that's 0:20:18.000 --> 0:20:21.720 a different conversation. Any problem with how Minnesota celebrated last 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:27.879 night beating I was a little surprised, but then you know, 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:29.760 you remember, you know, they haven't been in the playoffs 0:20:29.760 --> 0:20:32.840 in the way I forgot to drought that they broke 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:38.320 getting to the postseason two thousand and four. So yeah, 0:20:38.320 --> 0:20:39.639 I'll get I'll give it to him. And this is 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.840 a this is a relatively young team too, so I've 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:45.199 given them that. I don't think anybody expected Minnesota to 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:48.440 make this leap this year, so I'll you know, I 0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.600 didn't really have a problem with it. I was surprised, 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.439 but you know, then Pat bab going against his former team, 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:55.720 you know, he's going to bring all the attics and 0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:58.840 uh the emotions into the to the game. So it 0:20:58.920 --> 0:21:02.000 was fun. I'm looking forward to it. I actually that's 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:05.200 that's my assignment for T and T on the sidelines 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.880 for the first round. I got that Minnesota Memphis series. Okay, 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:12.960 I'm looking forward to it. Um, what's your assessment of Memphis. 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.359 They're a really fun team to watch. They play really hard. 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.560
