1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Oh, welcome to the program. A little different

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: setup today. I thought I tested positive for greatness. Turns

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: out I tested positive for COVID. Yeah, woke up Saturday

5
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: morning and it tapped me on the shoulder and I went,

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: oh boy, this is gonna be a long haul. I

7
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,639
Speaker 1: didn't need a second source. Let's put it that way

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: down for the count. And you know flu like symptoms.

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: You got a head cold, shortness of breath, you're exhausted.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: All you want to do is sleep. And you know,

11
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: I wasn't quite sure how long it was going to be.

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: So the setup is, if you're watching on peacock, I'm

13
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: outside in the grilling area. The Dan answer safely security

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: inside the man cave. So we'll give it a go today.

15
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, my crew did such a great job in

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: setting this up so I could do the show from outside.

17
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: You got cameras here, you got monitors here. They brought

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: a desk out. They did a wonderful job. And then

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: I asked Tyler to do one thing. I said, Tyler,

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: don't you build a fire? And so he built a fire,

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: and I thought, you know, if COVID doesn't kill me.

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: This fire is going to because it was a rager

23
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: so much so Seaton came out to say, do we

24
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: need a fire extinguisher? The fire department is right next door.

25
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: If something happens, I've got I don't know what has

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: fallen all over me. It looks like it's snow, but

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 1: it's it could be embers, so ash I got it

28
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: falling from the sky here. But Tyler, you made a

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: great fire. It's right behind me there. Yeah, Paul, it

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: looks like one of those high school bonfires from the

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: fifties and sixties. Well that's jumping around and it's like

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: eight pet high. Yeah, nobody's monitoring it there, But I

33
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: got firewood out here. It's a little breezy, and we're

34
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: ready to go because every day is a super Bowl

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: around here. We didn't get phone calls yesterday because we

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,520

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the possibility of another NFL team in the Dallas area. Also,

66
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about Baker Mayfield. Is it time

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: that the Browns just say, hey, let's cut him. I disagree.

68
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: I think that the Cleveland Browns need to hold on

69
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: to him because what's going on with tou Shaun Watson.

70
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: What if he's suspended for eight games? I can keep

71
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield there and he's expensive, but I don't want

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: to give away another season at maybe six eight games.

73
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: And we'll talk to Florio Reggie Miller a little bit

74
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: later on on the controversy on the MVP with the

75
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Joker getting it for back to back seasons. Here tonight,

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: seventy six Ers Heat Game five, MAVs Sons Game five,

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: Celtics beat the Bucks. That series tied to two games apiece,

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: could easily be the Celtics up three one, Warriors hold

79
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: off the Grizzlies. They're up three games to one. Although

80
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: if you said to me at the start of the playoffs. Hey,

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: by the way, there's going to be a team that

82
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: starts out for fifteen from three point range to start

83
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: a playoff game. There's going to be a team. And

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: I probably think, okay, in order, when would I get

85
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 1: to the Golden State Warriors probably last on that list.

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: Golden State went oh for fifteen from three point range,

87
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: first time that's happened since the Thunder went oh for

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: sixteen in the twenty eleven Western Conference Finals. Stat of

89
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day, that beast out of

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day. It comes that what

91
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: stat of the day. And I'm hope hopeful that these

92
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: sports semi people are watching understanding that you know, I'm

93
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: risking my life, but uh, if we win a Sports

94
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: Emmy and I lose my life, it's worth it. Todd,

95
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: It is, yes, yes, oh now it is. Whenever I

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: had a dream, you know when you when you go

97
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: into these deep sleeps, and I had a dream that, um, well,

98
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: I died and I was at a you know, my funeral.

99
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: They were carrying me in the hearst and I had

100
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: a U haul behind the hearst. You bring a lot

101
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: of stuff. You have a lot of baggage. I thought

102
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: that it would be funny to have a Hearst and

103
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: then a U haul for some reason. And I remember

104
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: waking up and I thought that's funny. Yes, Tod, Now

105
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: was that a Bruce Hurst or a hearse I'm trying

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: to figure out what you were, what kind of casket

107
00:05:52,200 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: you were? Yeah, you know, but I'm ill Garrison Hurst.

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm talking. I'm ill Bruce. I

109
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: got Tyler trying to burn me, singe me, and then

110
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: I got you. I wasn't gonna say no, nice mid

111
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: eighties reference, Todd. We're going from worse to Hurst today.

112
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: Let's go. I thought it was funny that they're taking

113
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: me to the cemetery and there's a U haul. That

114
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: was all, yes, Paul I took. Do you see the

115
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: ashes falling down? Yeah, it looks like this is Vesuvius volcano.

116
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: You know, I studied psychology for about ten minutes in college.

117
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: That is you wanting to bring all your stuff to

118
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: the grave with you because you are kind of a

119
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: pack rat, a bit of a hoarder, and being nice

120
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: about it. Um. I think that that there's some psychology

121
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: there that when you go someday you want to bring

122
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: everything with you. I think I heard some of the

123
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: stuff you're saying. I just call all this ash falling

124
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: on me, PAULI. This is what Todd. Now, you may

125
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: win a Sports Ember Award for this play card. Right alright, Todd,

Speaker 1: does not say if it's that's next year, year after. Yeah.

155
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: See quick preview of a possible poll question today. How

156
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: many hours before Tom Brady denies this? One hour, two

157
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: to five, five to ten Because Tom breaks Tom's news,

158
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: nobody else does. What Todd? Can you be a goat

159
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: at a Fox? Okay? All right, okay, I should have

160
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: stayed in bed. How Brady didn't even have to wait

161
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: to get on the gold rush of announcer money. He's

162
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: got like a holding place for this. But why because

163
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: he'll probably be five years, one hundred million. Yeah, but

164
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: but why, I you know, so what you're broadcasting a game?

165
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Who cares? I mean, I don't know. It just feels

166
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: like that's for guys who aren't able to own a

167
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,839
Speaker 1: team or run a team. You know, I agree with you.

168
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: I'm a little surprised that that's the direction he's planning

169
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: as of now. I mean, Troy Aikman, we keep hearing

170
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 1: wants to run a team. John Elway is running a team.

171
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: Peyton we've always heard would like to own a team.

172
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: Not you know, Peyton's having fun with his brother. But

173
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: I always wondered with Tom, like, do you really want

174
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: to do that kind of get into the mud there

175
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: and traveling each week twenty twenty days of broadcasting a year. Yeah,

176
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: but that's not twenty days. You know you're going to

177
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: spend seventy five days. There'll be promotional stuff that you

178
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,599
Speaker 1: have to be available to travel, that you're going to

179
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: have with that. I don't know. I just felt like

180
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: there'd be more to his post career than just doing games. Yeah. See, Yeah,

181
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: it's weird. It's like like when Lebron retires, he's going

182
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: to be doing that. It just feels like Tom Brady

183
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: was bigger than that. Even though that's a great gig,

184
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: it's an awesome job, it feels like his path was

185
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: bigger than that. Yeah, I'm just a little surprised I

186
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: brought this up. Gosh, I don't even know when it was. Well,

187
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: when Brady retired and I remember talking to TV exec

188
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 1: and I said, could you see Brady doing games? He

189
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 1: said no, I couldn't see it, just because it just

190
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: I don't felt like there was a bigger picture. That

191
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: felt like if he was going to and he's got

192
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: so many businesses, it would just seem like, you know,

193
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: you're going to do that and maybe try to own

194
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: a team at some point. Yeah. Point, I do understand

195
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: the opening though, the timing, because Trek been leaving, there

196
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: is an opening and you could lock this deal down. Now,

197
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: you could always tap out, but foxing just do a

198
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: holding pattern analyst for a year and then bring in Brady,

199
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: which is big time. It's the opposite of what Peyton

200
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: Manning did. Remember Manning left his career. When he finished

201
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: his career, he just did commercials for the next year

202
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 1: and he was kind of at home and then he

203
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: kind of chose his direction with his production company. Well,

204
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: it seemed like he was trying. He was gearing towards

205
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: ownership or running a team, and maybe I think still

206
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: being involved in the pursuit of the Denver Broncos. Do

207
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: you see where that's going to probably go for five

208
00:11:55,600 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: billion dollars Broncos probably five billion dollars, that's say, yes,

209
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: he the Remember that thought I had about Tom Brady

210
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: denying it and how long it would take. Yeah, that's

211
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: already too late. He's already confirmed it. Oh all right.

212
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: He the Fox Sports said we're pleased to announce immediately

213
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: following his playing career, seven times Super Bowl champion, Tom

214
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: Brady will be joining us at Fox Sports as our

215
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: lead analyst, to which Tom then retweeted that and said excited,

216
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: But a lot of unfinished business on the field. Yeah,

217
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: who knows how much longer he's going to play. He's

218
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: got one more year with Tampa Bay, and then another

219
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: year with the Niners, and then another year with the Patriots.

220
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: As he comes back home Tommy's back. Yeah, I couldn't

221
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: see this. What happens first Tom starts his broadcasting career

222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: or I end my broadcasting career. Yeo, that's a little

223
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: too real. That's a little too real. I you know what,

224
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:55,839

287
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: Talk Live co host. Mike, let me start with the

288
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady news. If you would have said Tom was

289
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: going to be the lead guy for Foxes their football analysts,

290
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: no matter when it is, I would have said, no way.

291
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: What was your reaction. Yeah, I was stunned, Dan, And

292
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: first of all, I hope you're feeling well, and I

293
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: admire the fact that you're powering through it. That's great

294
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: to see. But again, get well soon and good to

295
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: talk to you as always. I was stunned because it

296
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: didn't seem like the kind of thing Tom Brady was

297
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: ever going to do. But maybe he realized. Number one,

298
00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: the money is really, really, really good. You can still

299
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: do a lot of other things with your life when

300
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,119
Speaker 1: you are calling games. As opposed to preparing to play

301
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: in games eighteen weeks of the regular season and end beyond.

302
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: And I'd love to know what kind of an offer

303
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: they made. I assume they made him an offer he

304
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: can't refuse, and we haven't seen the number yet. The

305
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: overunder for me, he's twenty nine and a half million,

306
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: and I won't be surprised if it's over. I just

307
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: think it's going to take something like that to get

308
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: him to commit. He's the white whale. He and Peyton

309
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: Manning are the two white whales, and Peyton Manning's kind

310
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: of doing a piecemeal with ESPN where he's kind of

311
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: in it, but he's not really in it. To get

312
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: Brady to go all in, I suspect they had to

313
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: drop a lot of money on the table. Wow, it's

314
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: just a guess. It's just a guess. I'll bet Peyton

315
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: Manning wants to know what Tom's getting paid. But I

316
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: thought Tom would want to lean towards ownership business running

317
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: a team well, and I think he can do both.

318
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: I think that he will continue to amass his fortune

319
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: and this is a great platform for him to do it.

320
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 1: I remember at one point Steve Young was the subject

321
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: of a profile in a magazine, the name of which

322
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but Steve Young said that he was

323
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: in a hedge fund and still is, I believe out

324
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: in California and his partners wanted him to be involved

325
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: with ESPN and the NFL because it made his other

326
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: interests more marketable. It gave him something to talk about.

327
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: They wanted that. And I think that Brady can leverage

328
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: the platform, the visibility into these various other business pursuits

329
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: that he has, so he's still part of the game

330
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: even if he's not playing. And when you look at

331
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: the total time commitment and what you're gonna make doing it,

332
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: and how it can help these other things you're trying

333
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: to do as he works towards having enough money to

334
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: become an owner, that won't surprise me. And I don't

335
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: think it takes off the table the possibility of becoming

336
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: a minority owner of the Miami Dolphins. His Fox is

337
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: going to say no. They're not saying no to him

338
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: continuing with the Buccaneers while he's technically employed by Fox

339
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: moving forward, So I take nothing off the table. I

340
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 1: just think this expands opportunities, not limits them for Brady.

341
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will be the lead analyst for Fox for

342
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty three season, twenty twenty four season, or other.

343
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: I'll say twenty four if I had to pick one

344
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,520
Speaker 1: right now, that's the next Super Bowl they have after

345
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: this year. They've got two of the next three, So

346
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,880
Speaker 1: he would debut in a Super Bowl year. It gives

347
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: him one more year with the Bucks and one more

348
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: year with whoever he may choose to try to play

349
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: for in twenty twenty three. Look, and I know that

350
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers fans don't want to hear it, but it's

351
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: not going to stop me from saying it. The Miami

352
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: stuff was real. He was going to become a minority

353
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: owner of the team. They were going to pursue Sean Payton.

354
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: They did pursue Sean Payton. They admitted they made the

355
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: phone call. It was going to be a lot more

356
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: than a phone call. But for the Brian Flores lawsuit

357
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: that put the kibosh on everything. Otherwise it's quite possible

358
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: we would be talking right now about Brady and Peyton

359
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: as the quarterback and coach of the Dolphins. I don't

360
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: think that goes away automatically for next year. A lot

361
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: of It depends on what the Dolphins do this year,

362
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: what too it does. Other factors come into play, But

363
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: I think the possibility of him playing somewhere else next

364
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: year is still on the table just because he's got

365
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 1: this deal with Fox. It's when he retires, not next year.

366
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: And I would say twenty four if I had to

367
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: guess right now. He's Mike Florial from Pro Football Talk Live.

368
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: Make sure you pick up a copy of his great book, Playmakers.

369
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: I think your own record is saying that the Cleveland

370
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: Browns should cut ties with Baker Mayfield. Let me give

371
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: you my thought on that, and then you can give

372
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: me your side of this. Because if I'm looking at this,

373
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: if I'm the Cleveland Browns, I have to look at

374
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: the season coming up. And Sarah, we got Deshaun Watson.

375
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 1: We don't know when we have him. We have an

376
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,479
Speaker 1: insurance policy, and granted he's expensive, but let's say Deshaun

377
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: Watson misses eight games. If I have Baker Mayfield to

378
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: play those games to audition for another team and he's healthy,

379
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: maybe I can get more from him and I can

380
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: salvage this season as opposed to having a backup quarterback

381
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: in there and Baker Mayfield is playing someplace else your turn.

382
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: I think that makes a ton of sense in theory,

383
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: but the problem is as a practical matter, the damage

384
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 1: to the relationship has become so severe. And I think

385
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: last week's article from ESPN Jake Trotter a bunch of

386
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: different things we didn't already know, and I know that

387
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: it's frowned upon to guests on whose sources may be.

388
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: This all goes back to Mayfield and his camp. I

389
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: think this is his way of rattling the cage to

390
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: get out of Cleveland. And the one thing to me

391
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: that I think is unmendable. If Mayfield and or people

392
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: close to him believe that they specifically set him up

393
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: to fail Week seventeen at Pittsburgh Monday night football prime

394
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: time to make it easier to move on from him

395
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: to Deshaun Watson, that is something there's no coming back from.

396
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 1: So Dan You're strategy. I like that a lot more

397
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: than we're just gonna squat on this guy's contract until

398
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: a trade opportunity falls out of the sky. At least

399
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: there is some short term beneficial goal. We may need him,

400
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: maybe for the whole season. I don't know. We don't

401
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: know what the league's gonna do. Yeah, the Trevor Bauers

402
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: suspension for two years, that's got to be a factor

403
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,920
Speaker 1: in how the league looks at what they're gonna do

404
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson. Maybe he gets out for the whole year.

405
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: You need Baker Mayfield. Well, they better be working hard

406
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: behind the scenes to put some lips on the rear

407
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: end of Baker Mayfield to get him on board with that,

408
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: because right now he's not on board with it. That's

409
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: the problem. And once you make the move for Deshaun Watson,

410
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: your relationship with Baker Mayfield ends. If you prolong it,

411
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: you're only creating another distraction for a team that doesn't

412
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: need it. Got twenty two distractions with Deshaun Watson, you

413
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: don't need a twenty third with Baker Mayfield. Explain to

414
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: me how this topic came up of maybe another NFL

415
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: team in the Dallas area. The Mayor of Dallas started

416
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: tweeting about it. Now, the mayor of Dallas wants a

417
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: separate stadium in South Dallas where an AFC team would

418
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: be located. Well, that's just stupid. The idea of trying

419
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: to build another stadium when you already have one, and

420
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: that's how you get Jerry Jones on board. After I

421
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: let it marinate for a little bit yesterday, I thought,

422
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, Jerry Jones doesn't want another team in

423
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: his market, but he probably wouldn't mind another team in

424
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,360
Speaker 1: his stadium. Twenty NFL games per year, and you're the landlord,

425
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: You're Stan Cronkey. You got all your own teams games

426
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: plus all the games of the B team. And if

427
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones is worried about some other team in Dallas,

428
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: come on. He can make a ton of money off

429
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: of this. And I think it makes sense Dan. As

430
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: the NFL tries to increase inventory, they're not going to

431
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: go any more than eighteen games. I think eventually we're

432
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: going to see eighteen. The only way you increase inventory

433
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: beyond that increase the number of teams. And the easiest

434
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: places to put expansion teams are in the markets that

435
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: are big enough for two teams and that already have

436
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: a stadium. Dallas Chicago are the two I would watch.

437
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: And whether Jerry Jones likes it or not, I mean

438
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: thinking of money he could make from having that second team,

439
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: and I think that goes a long way toward him,

440
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: getting him to agree to it at the appropriate time

441
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: if we ever get there. Yeah, I understand the logic

442
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: to that, and I agree. If I'm Jerry Jones, I

443
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: just do what Stan Cronki did in Los Angeles and

444
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: say I'm going to build this, build this masterpiece, and

445
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: you come in here and you pay, help pay for

446
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: this masterpiece. Clippers were doing that, you know with the

447
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Lakers in Los Angeles. We see that. You could see

448
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: Chicago maybe doing that, reaching out and saying, but does

449
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: the NFL want two teams in those markets or would

450
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 1: they rather expand to other places where they don't have

451
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: a foothold yet makes more sense to take advantage of

452
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: state of the art stadiums that you already have, and

453
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: they're talking about building a venue in Chicago outside of town.

454
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 1: One of the ways you pay for that is having

455
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: two teams play there instead of one. Dan I remember

456
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: before the NFL went back to La Al, Michaels said

457
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: if the NFL goes back, it's going back with two teams,

458
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: and he was right. Yea. London is a market we

459
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: have to continue to watch. They have two NFL ready

460
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: stadiums there, Wembley Tottenham, Hotspur. They use him every year

461
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: for the smattering of games. If the NFL ever puts

462
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: one team in London, I think the NFL is putting

463
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: two teams in London, and this is a long term play.

464
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: But I can see thirty two becoming thirty four, becoming

465
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: thirty six, becoming thirty eight. I think the hard cap

466
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: is forty. The quarterback play is going to be an issue,

467
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: and every time we think there's more than enough good

468
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to go around, we find out, like this year,

469
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: that there isn't. But I think that the gambling legalization,

470
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: as that spreads, as the money keeps getting bigger and bigger,

471
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: we're going to see the talk. I think in the

472
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: next five years, the talk of expanding the league is

473
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: really going to take route. Yeah, and I agree with you.

474
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: I understand the logic behind that. I'd be remissive and

475
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a journalist if I didn't bring up

476
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Watson situation where this trial might not be

477
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: heard until after this next season. Is that a fair

478
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: time frame for this or do you see something that's

479
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: a little more expedited. Absolutely, I believe these cases go

480
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: to trial after the upcoming season. And you've got twenty

481
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: two of them, and Dan, they're not going to be

482
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: tried all at once with twenty two plaintiffs going on

483
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: the witness stand and saying what Deshaun Watson did according

484
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: to their allegations. If you're Deshaun Watson, you want to

485
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: isolate these, you want to do these one at a time, Well,

486
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: good luck getting twenty two cases done in one off season.

487
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: Good luck with that. I mean, this may not be

488
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: done until twenty four unless he settles. And I'm on

489
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: record is saying from the day the Browns traded for him,

490
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: he should have settled the cases. Do it for the Browns,

491
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: do it for the fans. The fans got enough to

492
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: worry about. Then, when these cases are going to get all,

493
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: what the blowback's going to be. Is he going to

494
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: be suspended now? Is he going to be suspended later?

495
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: Are they going to suspend him now and then maybe

496
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: leave the door open to suspend him later based upon

497
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: the outcomes of these lawsuits. This is just a distraction

498
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: that you shouldn't want as a team or as a

499
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: fan base, no matter how good the player is. The

500
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: One thing you can say a lot about Stephen Rossie

501
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: under the Dolphins. But he had it right last year.

502
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: He wasn't trading for Watson unless all twenty two cases

503
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: were settled at eighteen were ready to settle. Watson decided

504
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: not to do it. I think he would admit now

505
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: he probably should have knocked out the eighteen while he

506
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: could and focus on the remaining four. Is this the

507
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: first time we've spoken to you since PAULI longsch his

508
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: bet that he thought that we'd have a quarterback taken

509
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: in the first thirteen picks? No? Yeah, I didn't know

510
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: that there was such a bet. Was there a pie

511
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: in the face? Yeah? And then you also like you're

512
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: losing your bet with Tom Brady, right, I've just yeah, yeah, Well,

513
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: Seedon intervened with the arbitrator decision, and it's not over

514
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 1: until week one. Okay, you think there's a chance Tom

515
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: Brady still is the quarterback of the forty nine. I

516
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,879
Speaker 1: was given the opportunity to remember, I could pick the

517
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 1: pie if I go ahead and accept the medicine now.

518
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: But if it's week one, it's got to be lemon merangue,

519
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: which apparently is equivalent of putting your face into a

520
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 1: vat of boiling ass. Yes, yes, yes, PAULI all right,

521
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 1: I'll throw out a new bet for the room this week.

522
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: One starter for the forty nine ers at quarterback is

523
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh oh, I wouldn't rule that out. Would

524
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: you rule it in? Yeah? Hell yes, it seems like

525
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: it's out card. We don't know what they think of

526
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: Trey Lance. That's the one thing we don't know, and

527
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: that's why I think there's a chance it will be wrong.

528
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he's the starter.

529
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: They just want, you know, there's no market for Garoppolo.

530
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: I think they overplayed their hand. I think they were

531
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: getting They were asking for two second round picks instead

532
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: of just saying see it, Jimmy, Well, he went and

533
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: got shoulder surgery without telling him. John Lynch recently said

534
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: that pulled the plug abruptly on any trade talks when

535
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Garoppolo goes off campus to get shoulder surgery. Look, Garoppolo,

536
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: in his own way, is making it known he doesn't

537
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: want to be there, and the worst case scenario for

538
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: him is to get to a week before the start

539
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: of the season and they say you're gonna make twenty

540
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: five million this year. It becomes fully guaranteed as of

541
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: week one, Trey Lance is our starter. You even take

542
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: ten million dollars and we're gonna cut you in. Good

543
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: luck finding a job a week before the start of

544
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: the season. Any storylines to keep an eye on here

545
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: for the audience. I mean, the Baker Mayfield and Jimmy

546
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: Garoppolo stuff is really top of the stack. Keep an

547
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 1: eye on what happens moving forward because there's just so

548
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: much drama baked into it. What's Seattle gonna do at quarterback?

549
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: And do you think Gino Smith is gonna be He's

550
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: just gonna say that Gino Smith right now is the

551
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: number one guy on the depth chart in Seattle and

552
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: Dan I think in a weird sort of way, and

553
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: I think the Seahawks are going to be better this

554
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: year than we spect. I think Pete Carroll is pissed,

555
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: and I think he's determined to make this team into

556
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: a winner without Russell Wilson and Gino Smith played pretty

557
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: well last year when he got thrust into searchs. Remember

558
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: they were chanting his name on the Thursday night game

559
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 1: against the Rams. He lost by three to the Steelers,

560
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: lost by three to the Saints, beat the Jaguars blew

561
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: them out. He was twenty to twenty four, and then

562
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Russell Wilson's good to go again.

563
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: After Gino Smith goes twenty for twenty four. I think

564
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll is enamored with the idea of showing the

565
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: world run game defense and Gino Smith is good enough

566
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: to win. Man, if I'm going to get back at

567
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, I think I'll have a little better AMMO

568
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: than Geno Smith. So welcoming back to team. It's hey

569
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: Thursday night the schedule comes out. One of those games

570
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: is Denver at Seattle. That is going to be a

571
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: hell of a night when that happens. I'm predicting Week four,

572
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: maybe Sunday Night Football, we see Denver at Seattle, just

573
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: like Tommy going back to New England year. That will

574
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: be a hell of a night. And our Christmas lineup

575
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: is that already set. The game wasn't that leaked? The well,

576
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: it wasn't leaked. What they're doing is they're announcing every

577
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: day one of the networks is announcing one of their games.

578
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: Do they CBS announced that they've got Broncos rams in

579
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: that four thirty PM Eastern slot on Christmas is gonna

580
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: be three games on Christmas Day, Fox at one, then CBS,

581
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: and then an NBC game that night. But Dan, I

582
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: got an idea for the NFL. I haven't written this yet.

583
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: I talked about this earlier. Instead of dropping all eighteen

584
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: weeks on Thursday night and with these little piece meal

585
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: here's a game here, here's a game there. Why not

586
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: take over the whole week and do the first four

587
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: weeks of the season Monday, the next four weeks Tuesday,

588
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: the next four weeks Wednesday, and then the final six

589
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: weeks Thursday. Instead of dropping it all at once, really

590
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: piss off baseball, basketball and hockey and commandeer the whole week.

591
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: What if you did eighteen days with eighteen weeks, you

592
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: could I could sign on for that. I think. I

593
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: look at a certain point, it gets a little old.

594
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: I say, take a week, Just take a week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

595
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: and I bet it's moving in that direction. You see

596
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: their understanding there's benefit in a game here, a game there,

597
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 1: instead of all two hundred and seventy two getting announced

598
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: at once. Yeah, I think it gets watered down where

599
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: you're going, Wait week, what and You're trying to keep

600
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: an eye on what's going on. And a lot of

601
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: times when we look at the schedule release, it's how

602
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: many road games in a row? How do we end

603
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: our season? Toughest games are going to be bye week,

604
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: after the bye week, you know the strategy behind that.

605
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,080
Speaker 1: It's not just you know, here's the schedule. It's oh

606
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: my gosh, we got back to back conference games, or

607
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: we go West Coast, then back east, then we go

608
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: West Coast again. Those are the tricky elements that I

609
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: always keep an eye on. Mike. It's always great to

610
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,640

Speaker 1: for TNTs coverage of the Maps in the Sun Series

Speaker 1: Game five coming up tonight in Phoenix at ten eastern.

620
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 1: How are you reg I'm much better than you, my friend,

621
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: how are you, Philly? Well? Wishes out to you, and

622

Speaker 1: I'm sure your family as well, because if you get it,

623
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: most likely they may get it. So I hope the

624
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: Theodore family is doing well. Well. You remember Jordan when

625
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: he was in Utah and he had the flu game.

626
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's what That's what this is about,

627
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: only it's five times worse. I mean, I'm okay, Well,

628
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: let me ask a question. Who is the pippet who's

629
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: holding you up? Like, who's carrying you to the bench

630
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: every time him out? Oh? You're I don't think I

631
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: have anybody that's strong nobody. Again, I would have Marvin,

632
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: but he's got small hands and he might drop me,

633
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:14,720
Speaker 1: and I just I worry about that. Well, well, wishes,

634
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: I hope you get well. So, my friend, do they

635
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: measure hand size in the NBA like at the Combine?

636
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: They They didn't when I came out in eighty seven.

637
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: Obviously they can do a lot of things back in

638
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty, but they do now. They do now, and

639
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: I do believe KWHI Leonard still registered to date, has

640
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the biggest hands. I may be wrong on this, but

641
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: if he doesn't have the biggest He's one of the

642
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 1: top three in terms of hand size. Let me do

643
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: you measure it? Wasn't this a big deal for Shock

644
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: that his hands were too big? You know? That was

645
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: always the well, his hands are so big, that's why

646
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: he can't shoot free throws. I'm like, I don't know

647
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: Kareem could shoot free throws. And last I looked, he

648
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: seemed pretty big as Also, I don't can you have

649
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: two big a hands in the NBA? I don't think so.

650
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean MJ has huge hands and he was a

651
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: pretty good treat though shooter shooter score. So yeah, I

652
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: think Shaq did okay in his career right having big hands,

653
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: and you know, like he would always tell us while

654
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 1: we were playing him can probably rich, I'm gonna make

655
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: the ones that out of the most hurt you. I

656
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: was like, we're gonna keep sitting you there, a big fella,

657
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: And sure enough he made the ones that mattered the

658
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: most against Did you see where Rudy Gobert said he

659
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: would lock up Shock if Shaq was playing against Rudy Gobert?

660
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: What what's Rudy talking about it? It's almost laughable because

661
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of players in the nineties that

662
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: had somewhat of Rudy Gobert's size at seven feet slender frame,

663
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: David Robinson comes to mind, and I think Shat kind

664
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: of ate him up at times. But it's almost laughable.

665
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: It's hard to say because look, Shack's not playing and

666
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: Rudy's in the league right now. But there was no

667
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: answer for Shaquille O'Neil. And I know, you know, he's

668
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: a co worker, and people can think, well, of course

669
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna say nice things about I couldn't stand the

670
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: dude because the dude denied me a ring. So I'm

671
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 1: not saying this because he's a co worker. I'm saying

672
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: we personally had no answer for him. We had Rick Smith,

673
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Davis, Sam Perkins, We threw everything at Shack and

674
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: we could not stop him. And asked Jason Kidd the

675
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: same thing, asked to Kimmy Vatumbo in Philadelphia the same

676
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: There was no answer for Shaquille O'Neil. So, Rudy, I

677
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: love you, You're a three or four time defensive Player

678
00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: of the Year. That's great, but trust me, dude, yeah,

679
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: would have had zero answer or Shack all isious down low. Okay,

680
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: how would Shack? Would Shack be better now or worse now?

681
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 1: It's funny you say that, I think worse. I don't

682
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: think he would. He would obviously still be dominant, but

683
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: because the rules are now, I mean he would have

684
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,880
Speaker 1: to have someone of a face up game, which he

685
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 1: doesn't have. You know who I would love to see

686
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: Shaq go against would be Joel mb or Yokich, the

687
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: current and back to back MVP. I think Yoga Kis

688
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: would give him more of a problem than Rudy Gobert.

689
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: How so, because rig did early Rick Smiths when Shaq

690
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: was younger and in Orlando, Rick Smitz gave him a

691
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: lot of problem because he could face him up and

692
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: he could score over either shoulder. Shack admits that now,

693
00:37:56,360 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: when Shack became Shahuck with the Laker and was the

694
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: most dominant player in the game, he owned Rick. But

695
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: I would love to see Shock versus Yoki and his

696
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: skill set. That would be a little bit more fair

697
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: of a of a comparison. Yeah, I'm curious about that

698
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: as well, Like people have problems. It feels like now

699
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: because we're seeing what happens in the postseason, Lucas playing

700
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: well for his team and Beide comes back. We see

701
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: his value. You know, the Joker won this based off

702
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:35,319
Speaker 1: of the regular season. My problem is, yeah, but Red,

703
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: the longer we wait to hand out the award, it

704
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: feels like that person is open to more criticism. Joker

705
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: can't play. They bound. You know, they were bounced early

706
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: by Golden State. We know that, but this is what

707
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: they did during the regular season. If they give the

708
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: award right after the end of the regular season, then

709
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: I don't think we have this argument or you know,

710
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: a further discussion on this, and I think it's unfair

711
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: to Joker. You don't want to give it to him. Okay, fine,

712
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: if you think he's just a statistical anomaly, and you

713
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: know the nerds love this and analytics, then fine. But

714
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: he did what he did during the regular season. That's

715
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: what this is based upon. With you dropped the mic

716
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 1: on all that, and I think the league is somewhat

717
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 1: dropping the ball by extending these regular season awards at

718
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs kind of you know, tredge on. I think

719
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: they need to need to drop all the awards the

720
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: first day or the second day of the playoffs and

721
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: let them be because it's not fair to the Joker,

722
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: and let me be clear here him winning back to

723
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: back MVPs. People need to understand if they regular season award,

724
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: not the playoffs. That's why we have a finals MVP

725
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: for what guys do somewhat during the playoffs, but more importantly,

726
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 1: what they do if they're lucky eno to get to

727
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:05,399
Speaker 1: the NBA Finals. That's the MVP all players want because

728
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 1: at number one, you won the championship and you were

729
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: the best player in that series. So it's not fair

730
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: to the Joker. He had an unbelievable career season along

731
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: with Joel embiid you it was either or in my opinion,

732
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: they both deserved it. They both played unbelievable. But people

733
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,839
Speaker 1: need to understand it's a regular season award and that's

734
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: why he got it. Reggie's on the call for TNT's

735
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: coverage Maverick's Sons Game five tonight in Phoenix at ten eastern.

736
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: How big of a deal will be Chris paul Family

737
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: fan interaction be with tonight's broadcast? Oh none, I think,

738
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Chris said his piece, and I am the Dallas Mavericks

739
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: and their security staff has addressed the situation. I don't

740
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 1: think that will have any green effect here on game five.

741
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: What the Suns need to have more concern on is

742
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 1: getting out to the Dallas Maverick shooters. This series is

743
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: so simple. If you look at games one and two,

744
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: Monty Williams and the Sun said, Luca beat us forty

745
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: five in game one, thirty five in game two, but

746
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 1: they shut down all the others. Brunston, then Winnie Finney, Smith,

747
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,080
Speaker 1: Matxi Cleber to a certain degree, and they won going away.

748
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:36,479
Speaker 1: When it shifted to Dallas, Luca's usage rate came down.

749
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: He was still good, he wasn't great, but everyone else,

750
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: the others, their usage rate went up. Guys started to

751
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: make shot and that's what happens normally when you're in

752
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: your home court. You know surroundings, so they if you're

753
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: the Suns, you're more concerned about now the others have

754
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 1: gotten going what happens if Luca has one of those

755
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: Luca games on the road and those guys continue to

756
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: make shots, Yeah, you could very well see the Mavericks

757
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 1: coming in here in the pivotal Game five when it's

758
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: two too. They could win this game if those guys

759
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: continue to make those threes like they're doing. I was

760
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: wondering about the fans. Fans interaction feels like they're a

761
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 1: little bit more emboldened than they've ever been. It feels

762
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: like we see it more. There's cell phone cameras here.

763
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 1: Compare fans fan interaction with players when you were playing,

764
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: as opposed to what you know we're seeing right now,

765
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: almost in a nightly basis. Well, you're just seeing it

766
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: now because what you just mentioned cell phone videos. That

767
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: really wasn't that when I was going through. Look, the

768
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: fans say some crazy stuff. I'm not gonna lie they do.

769
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: And could you get a fan kicked down? Redgul did

770
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: you ever back in the day, could you say I

771
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,360
Speaker 1: want that fan removed like Lebron did to that couple

772
00:42:55,800 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: earlier this year, you could. It will depend on this

773
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: situation Lebron, Chris Paul and all players. Russell Westbrook has

774
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: done in a few times. You know the incident he

775
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: had in Utah, I believe it was. Look, fans do

776
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: cross the line and some of the things they say,

777
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,359
Speaker 1: And yes, you can have fans rebroup. It helps if

778
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,760
Speaker 1: the official is near and can hear some of this stuff.

779
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: But when it turns towards a player's family, and I'm

780
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: on team Chris Paul on this because if someone would

781
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: have put hands on my mama, bear with my kids

782
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: watching that, forget the game. I'm jumping the rope tube

783
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: and heading up in the stands. And I know players

784
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: always get you know, the black eye when they react.

785
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: We're not robots, right because goodn't Well, you wouldn't say

786
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: this to me if I'm walking down the street, but

787
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna say this in this controlled environment, especially to

788
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: his wife. So I understand the frustration that CP three

789
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 1: is going through. I would have liked to have seen

790
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: more suns security with the family because you are walking

791
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: into a hostile environment. But that gives that still doesn't

792
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: give any right for someone to put hands on you joking,

793
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: drunk or not. Do not put your hands on anyone else,

794
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: especially a female. You just don't go there, and you

795
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: knew that his kids are right there with her. There's

796
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: no excuse for that. I'm glad they addressed it, but

797
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time not going into the

798
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: stands chasing to do as well. That's just my thinking.

799
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: I don't know how athletes stop themselves from going after somebody,

800
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: because you can hear it, and you can act like

801
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:42,760
Speaker 1: you don't hear it, but if you if you cross

802
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: the line, it's going to cost you a lot. Dare.

803
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, I've heard a lot of

804
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: vile things in my career directed towards me. I get that,

805
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: that's part of the beast. I somewhat sign I did

806
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: sign up for it, being in a professional athlete and

807
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,320
Speaker 1: a profession I'll setting I get that. The problem I

808
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: have is if you're going to direct that to a

809
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: family member of mine who has come to support me,

810
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,839
Speaker 1: and you direct that and then it gets physical, that's

811
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,839
Speaker 1: the problem I have. I can take all the vile

812
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: comments and the vulgar comments. I just feel that I

813
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:20,880
Speaker 1: have broad shoulders and I can shut you up with

814
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: my play, and if I don't, you'll see me another

815
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: day to try and do that. But when it turns physical,

816
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,959
Speaker 1: that's the problem I have, where I just let people

817
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: know we are not robots because I wouldn't do that

818
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: to you or your family members. So don't do that

819
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 1: to my family members and think it's okay. Well said

820
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: Buck Celtics. We got a series. These two teams don't

821
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 1: like each other, and I mean Boston could be up

822
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: three games to one. Feels like they've been the better

823
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: team here in Milwaukee without Chris Middleton, Al Horford, Al Horford,

824
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: your age, reg don't say that the man is thirty

825
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 1: four years old, but he feels like he's fifty four

826
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: years old at some of the games that he's played

827
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: this year. But isn't that Isn't this the great thing

828
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,920
Speaker 1: about the playoffs when guys out of nowhere Al Horford,

829
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: Dorrian Finney Smith makes goes eight for twelve from threes

830
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: for Dallas. That's the beauty of the playoffs. Who of

831
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: your others who can step up at the right moment

832
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 1: at the right time. And if you're Milwaukee, you're starting

833
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: to think, Okay, I know Middleton's not coming back for

834
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the series. Does Yannis have enough in

835
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: the tank? Going against Grant Williams, Al Horford, Jason Tatum

836
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: and Jaylen Brown. These are four guys that they are.

837
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: It's like a revolving door that's having to guard Yannis

838
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: and it kind of looks like is he wearing down

839
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: a little bit without his Robin next to him? In

840
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: terms of Chris Middleton being that second guy to take

841
00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: the load off of him for scoring. Yeah, you started

842
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,240
Speaker 1: to look at this and you go, Okay, Milwaukee should

843
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: be the better team, but that's if they're fully assembled. Oh,

844
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: I necessarily wouldn't say that because the Celtics, let's forget,

845
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: second best record or second best record in the East,

846
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 1: and have the best defense since January first. So I'm

847
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: not surprised at what we're seeing. Case the point, looking

848
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: what they did to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in

849
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,719
Speaker 1: the first round, so we shouldn't be surprised at how

850
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: they are limiting the Bucks and Janis. I just think

851
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: Boston has something special brewing. But you cannot forget And

852
00:47:55,120 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: I'll go back to what Milwaukee did after losing those

853
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 1: first two to Phoenix last year in the NBA Playoffs

854
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: and rattling off four straight, and how Janis was fantastic,

855
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 1: especially in those last two ball games. I never want

856
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,800
Speaker 1: to put anything past him because he is that special

857
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 1: of a guy who can, given nights, can carry you.

858
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: He hasn't shot the ball great, so you have to

859
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: assume he's due to have one of those games where

860
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 1: he just goes crazy. But I think the series is

861
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: going seven. It's it's it's fun to watch, all right,

862
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: I don't want who is the most valuable player? I

863
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: want who is the best player in the NBA. Okay,

864
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna approach it towards this. If I was on

865
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: the flour in my prime, who do I think I

866
00:48:55,200 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: would have a better shot at winning? Right now? Wow?

867
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: I like, I really love Joel Embiid. I just think

868
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: he puts so much pressure at both ends of the floor.

869
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: I like Joel Embiid. See you you would be you

870
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,880
Speaker 1: would be better with the Joker, probably with the Joker

871
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: because of his passing. Oh yes, yes, yes, yes yeah. Um,

872
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean I would take the Jannis I think is

873
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: the best player. Um. I just think offensively and defensively

874
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 1: he's and it feels like he's consistent. Uh and Bead

875
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: is great. But if you said, you know, going out there,

876
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: who could help you win a championship, I would definitely

877
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,120
Speaker 1: say Joker would over the other two. But I think

878
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: I think honest Kid too, And I think I think Lebron.

879
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: You know, we keep sliding Lebron too. I mean, I

880
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: know he's thirty seven and all, but not the best

881
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: play not the best players, you go, the best player

882
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: of the game, But you can win. You can win

883
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: with him, yeah, but could you you could win with

884
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: could you win with Luca Man, He's making some dudes

885
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: that were at the wall Mark a year ago look

886
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: pretty good, Okay, making some dudes that were like on

887
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: the shopping block look like all stars. Well, that's why.

888
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: But I that's when people say, well, look at what

889
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: Joker did with his supporting cast. I said, look what

890
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: Lucas doing with his supporting cast. There, like, if you

891
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,280
Speaker 1: really want to give credit to somebody, Luca could emerge

892
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,680
Speaker 1: as the most valuable player by the end of these players.

893
00:50:47,719 --> 00:50:50,080
Speaker 1: If they knock off Phoenix and he goes to the

894
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: Western Conference Finals with that group, then you know, now

895
00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about, oh what you did with the supporting cast?

896
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: And Lucas putting up unbelievable numbers every single night, and

897
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:07,719
Speaker 1: he's doing it in the postseason. Davis for Times, matxey Kleiva,

898
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:13,279
Speaker 1: Dorian Phinney Smith and people are like, who what Dwight

899
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: Powell think about the some of the names I'm mentioning here,

900
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: and Luca has made them look like he's getting them

901
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: paid right now, He's getting them paid. Yeah. Brunson. Brunson's

902
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna get paid. Jalen Brunson's definitely gonna get paid. Have

903
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: fun tonight, Regie, you can, but before I go, you

904
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: could also make the case for Joel Embiid. Look at

905
00:51:37,760 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: the first two games without him in Miami, they look terrible.

906
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 1: He comes back with the mask. The series is tied

907
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: to two heading back to South Beach, so we can

908
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: make the case for Joel Embiad as well. The over

909
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: under for James Harden tonight is twenty and a half.

910
00:51:54,760 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: What do you have, James Harden? Yeah, James Hard. I

911
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,319
Speaker 1: think Stella has found her groove. I think Game four

912
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: where he went crazy. I think he's figured out. I

913
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,360
