WEBVTT - 05/10/21 DPS Hour 1 Pat Forde 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.720 Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. More importantly, 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.080 I hope your wife or your mom had a great weekend. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.480 It doesn't matter if you did. As long as your wife, 0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:16.919 or your mom or your mother in law had a 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:21.720 great weekend. That's all that matters. Guys are here still married, 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.239 ready to go as we start the week Who would 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:27.040 have thought that we would go. Hey, let's talk track 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.880 and field and horse racing on the show. Those are 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.080 some of the main topics that we have today, as 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.360 we always do every Monday, Best and worst to the weekend, 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.199 which you saw that you liked you didn't like. Mclovin 0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:39.440 will provide a poll question. We got a couple of 0:00:39.440 --> 0:00:41.160 stats of the day, We got to play the day. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.760 All of that forthcoming here. In the first hour, we'll 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.479 check in with Pat Forty from Sports Illustrated on the 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.080 controversy from the Kentucky Derby. Otto Bolden, formerly one of 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:54.800 the fastest men in the world. He worked FRIENDBC Sports. 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.520 He was there when DK Metcalfe ran a ten three 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:02.640 seven one uttered meter dash. We'll talk about that accomplishment, 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.600 and Reggie Miller will stop by Zion Williamson out for 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.119 this season, and people in New Orleans not happy because 0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.160 they feel like he's officiated the way that Shack was 0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.119 and he's out with a broken finger. Luca don Chick 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:20.720 and his controversy here and how the number of technicals 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.880 going into the playoffs could affect his game plan here 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:27.200 because clearly you can get under his skin. And the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:31.560 amazing shooting exploits of Steph Curry incredible if you go 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.559 back and watch those highlights when he scored forty nine, 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.040 he scored forty nine and three quarters the degree of difficulty. 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:42.680 If they gave you points four degree of difficulty, he'd 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:47.400 get five point plays, six point plays. And he's heading 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:49.880 into that one game playoff, it looks like and that 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.320 might be one of those where be careful what you 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.560 ask for because the Warriors aren't great, but Steph Curry 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:59.280 is dangerous. Medina Spirit went from one of the great 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:03.520 underdogs toes in Kentucky Derby history to possibly the horse 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:06.160 that brings down one of the greatest trainers in history, 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.760 Bob Bafford. He announced on Sunday that is twenty twenty 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:13.760 one Derby winner tested positive for elevated levels of an 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.640 anti inflammatory medication. He's disputing the claim. We'll see what 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:23.280 happens after horse racing authorities investigate further. For the casual 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.399 racing fan and the average sports fan, it's not hard 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:30.920 to imagine cheating. It's hard to imagine somebody getting caught. 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.600 Ever since the steroid eras in sports like baseball, track 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.520 and cycling, it seemed I think it seems like most 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.519 sports cleaned up their actor. It feels like that, or 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:44.160 they're one step ahead of the testers because we don't 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.440 hear about too many peed scandals, or we just don't 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:51.120 pay attention to those anymore. Horse racing's history with doping 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.600 goes back longer than probably any other sport. So it's 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:58.520 hard to think that in twenty twenty one, someone like 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:00.560 Bob Bafford, a Hall of Fame or one of the 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.280 great trainers of all time, probably the Bill Belichick to 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.960 horse racing, would be sloppy enough to get caught. But 0:03:08.080 --> 0:03:10.640 with everything that goes on with these horses these days, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.760 it's not hard to believe lines were crossed. Possibly serious 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:19.000 mistakes were made. We hope to talk to Bob Baffert. 0:03:19.120 --> 0:03:21.520 Fritzie reached out to him. He's on the East Coast, 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.040 and we'll see if his schedule fits into our time 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.760 frame over the next three hours. And it's not an 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:31.720 illegal drug, it's just the time frame of when you're tested, 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:34.800 and that has to be out of your body, an 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:38.040 anti inflammatory and another thing to keep in mind which 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.320 we don't understand. And I want to ask Pat Forty, 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.560 he covers this sport. They test these horses fourteen days 0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:50.040 before the races. Why don't you test them on the 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:53.480 day of the race, then you can clear them to 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:57.640 run in the race. I mean NASCAR has a pre 0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:02.120 race inspection. I don't know if they do that in 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:06.600 the Kentucky Derby or the Belmont or the Preakness. Was 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.280 the horse cleared to race? That's what I'd be curious about. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.240 How long does it take to get out of your system? 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:15.920 Is it fourteen days? Get out of your system? How 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.480 about we test you before we allow you to race? 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.480 You run the risk of the cost of getting your 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:25.280 horse there. But that seems like a logical approach here. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.280 We're going to test you before your horse races and 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.800 might be a scratch. So we'll talk to Pat forty 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.920 coming up. Phone calls always welcome. Eight seven seven three 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.080 d P Show email address DP at dan Patrick dot com, 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.360 Twitter handle a DP show say good morning to Peacock. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.640 That's our TV partner. You can watch all three hours, 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:49.159 download the app and premier iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio nearly 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.920 four hundred cities around America that carry the program. Imagine 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:57.320 if you have a ticket for the second horse, the 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.360 horse that finished second was twenty five to one Mandaloon. 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.919 But if you didn't cash your check, then you can't 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.839 cash your check as a winner there. And if you 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.839 have Medina's spirit and you didn't cash your check, then 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.680 you can't cash your check. But if you already did, 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.039 you don't have to give it back. Yeah, welcome to 0:05:17.080 --> 0:05:19.719 horse racing. So we hope to hear from Bob Bafford. 0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:22.520 This isn't the first time, the second time, third time, 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.520 four time, fifth time, six time seven At the time, 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.520 Pad forty a little suspicious with Bob Bafford here on 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.640 the dog keeps eating his homework. So we'll talk to 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.359 forty a little bit later on McLevin, what kind of 0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.520 poll question do you have for me? Okay, and this 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.040 is related to the Sports Emmy's if you were at 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:45.000 second place and the winner got it disqualified, would you 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.760 still be just as proud of the wind? Say, for example, 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.560 we lost a sports center and have found out that 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.359 SVP was using performance enhancing TV drugs or whatever there, 0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:00.360 would you sell Yeah, we're waiting. How about we don't 0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:04.080 put a name too. Oh yeah, yeah, sports center anchor 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:09.440 had used something illegally. Yeah, but who could that post? 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:10.960 Who Ever? It is the guy that I would keep 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:12.839 an eye. Yeah, but look, I don't want to mention 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.080 any names, but that if I'm going someplace, I've seen 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.400 Neil Everett late at night. No, I don't know. He's 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.000 playing a different game than I am. Would you be 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.440 just as proud of the win? Like, for example, the 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.320 USC got d Q right, but they didn't give the 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:31.520 championship to the second place team, did they? No? Yes, 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:35.400 Pot Reggie Bush was declared not no longer the Heisman winner. 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.680 His Heisman win was vacated. He actually get back to 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.839 the trophy, but they did not pass on the Heisman 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.240 win to Vinch Young, who finished second. There's no Heisman 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.320 winner this year. If you're Vinch Young, would you want 0:06:44.480 --> 0:06:47.400 the trophy? You can go back to Carl Lewis. Carl 0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:49.320 Lewis lost to Ben Johnson one hundred I think in 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.080 ninety two. A couple of days later, Ben Johnson stripped 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.880 and DQ they gave it to Carlos. Carl Lewis got 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:58.000 the gold medal. Yeah, talking to Carl about that. Carl 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.159 had no problem getting that cool medal because they knew 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:05.200 that Ben Johnson was cheating. Now there's varying degrees of cheating. 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.799 It feels like it's like Lance Armstrong in Tour de France. 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.840 Do I think he's the only guy cheating? If the 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.600 second place finisher, third place finisher, if they tested all 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.520 of them, I'd be curious how far down you would 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.520 have to go. And the winner of the Tour de 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:27.000 France finished nineteenth. Yay, congratulations. What else do you have 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.680 in clone? But yeah, I mean, come on, you don't 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:31.720 think Mandaloon's walking with his chest out now. He wanted 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:34.640 to tell you, okay on the Olympic topping.

All right, okay, 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.760 would you rather win Olympic gold for track? I'm gonna 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.720 tell you, like four by one hundred relay or win 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.120 a super Bowl. So say you're coming up and you 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.680 know that you're like maybe not you saying Bolt, but 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.240 you're an elited track, which sport is more of rewarding. 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:06.520 I'd rather win a super Bowl that a gold medal. Yeah, 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.000 I think a gold medal might win that pole. Well, 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:11.000 what event am I winning? If you say I'm the 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.440 fastest man in the world one hundred if it's one 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:15.800 hundred meters, a no brainer for that. Okay, you can 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:20.600 be you saying Bolt, tom Brady, you get their career, 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:26.120 you can have their careers. That is a good one. Now, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.200 I would take tom Brady because it's going to take 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:34.320 a long time before somebody beats that with Usain Bolt. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.040 There's a new fastest person in the world who comes along. Now, 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:40.200 they might not be as decorated, they might not stay 0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:42.800 the fastest man in the world for as long as 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:46.000 Usain Bolt did. But like, when's the last time you 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.760 talked about you saying Bolt? Tom Brady? Is you know 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:53.200 still in the you know, the national conversation here. Yeah, McLeman, 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:57.120 but no one ever called you saying bolt a system tracks. Well, 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:01.320 they might have coming from Jamaica, that's true maybe, but 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.720 he was such an ally he felt like, that's a 0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:06.000 one track I would want to be. I don't know 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:07.920 who else is one golden Okay, but would you rather 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.400 be you same boulder, Tom Brady? I would love to 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:12.640 be top. I have to you same boats like a 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.200 historic figure. There's something about you, same boat that's just different. 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:18.600 You saw him live, you said it was one most 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:20.680 incredible set of feat you've ever seen. Yes, it was 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:24.040 well to see real speed, because when you watch on TV, 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:28.440 it's completely different. When I watched him in London and 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.800 I went, oh my god, like he's running the two 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.040 hundred meters and you're just he makes the turn. So 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.200 I'm sitting there, We're probably twenty five rows up right 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:41.040 in the corner, and I said to my wife, he 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.360 just won the Gold Mount. He just made the turn 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.160 and he still had one hundred meters to go. I said, 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:48.000 he just won the gold and she said, how do 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.760 you know? And then like five seconds later she's like, 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.880 how did you know that? I said, he was just 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.120 starting everybody else got to a point where like, oh, 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.600 I got to hold on for dear life to see 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:02.800 that at acceleration, Like you can feel it in a car, 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:07.080 but when you watch it in a human being like whoa, yeah, Seed. 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:10.200 But that said something though that you were in London 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:11.920 and you're like, wait, no, we have to go make 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.920 sure that we watch you same Bolt run. Yes, but 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.400 if the Patriots were playing in London that night, I 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.600 would have gone to see them play as well. That's true, 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.680 like if the super Bowl was being played to see 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:26.840 Tom Brady must I must, Yes, I gotta go. Use 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.840 same Bolt. You're worldwide, You're historical. I I love you 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.719 saying Bolt you. I want his name though, I don't 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.840 want to be Paul Paps the Hunter Runner, but I 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.000 want everything that doesn't sound fast and you could tell 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:41.160 I was, But like you, same Bolt, You're worldwide, You're historical. 0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.040 And his record may last for a while. His is 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.400 nine to five eight, the closest in the past decade, 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.840 in the past seven years, it's two tenths away. He 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.320 could have this record for thirty years and man to 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:55.839 be able to one time in your life walk and 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.600 say of every human being ever born, if we lined 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.920 all up, I'm gonna win that race. So, I mean, 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:03.679 you take everyone in history and you could say it's 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.800 a fact, Like Tom Brady can't say for a fact 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.880 he's the best quarterback. He's got the best resume. Everybody runs, 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.079 like if you think about it, everybody has run before 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:17.240 at one time or another. You raced on the recess 0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:22.280 a field day, maybe ran track in high school. The 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:26.320 fastest man to ever do that. The fastest man to 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.120 have two legs is you say bold, Yeah, McLeman. And 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.040 what's tom Brady's athletic highlight? Like his biggest plays are 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.320 like screen passes to Kevin Falkon. I mean he's not 0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:39.200 he's the goat, but he's not fabulous. I would rather 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:43.439 be Tom Brady because the sport is more important track 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.200 and field. You care about it like we cared about 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:48.439 it because DK Metcalf was in this rate who won 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:54.400 the r who had the fastest tongue? Exactly? Yeah, but 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.280 we'll know in the Olympics. Well, nobody who's fastest man 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.880 in the world right now? No idea, Yeah, I'll know 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.280 in August. Yeah, Okay, Still you say in bolt that's fine. Thought, 0:12:05.320 --> 0:12:08.320 I can't say it is, but he's not running anymore. 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.600 Wouldn't it be great to see? I think that they 0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:15.040 should do weight divisions. Imagine if DK Metcalf, Let's say 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:19.679 you had heavyweight, like boxing heavyweight, light heavy, you had 0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:22.880 a middleweight all the way down featherweight. If you had 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.760 weight divisions, and let's say those over two hundred and 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:30.320 thirty five pounds are in the heavyweight division, you'd be 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:34.000 hard pressed to find somebody probably in the world faster 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.920 than DK Metcalf at that size. Wouldn't it be great 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.880 to see three hundred pound guys? Wouldn't be great to 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.079 have them out there? Three hundred pound guy you know 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.760 running at ten five one hundred meter dash, Gilbert Brown 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:51.160 from the Packers, b J Rogie, you know, just to 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:53.760 see those guys and coming out of the blocks, Aaron 0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:57.920 Donald coming out of the blocks. That's another thing, you 0:12:57.920 --> 0:13:00.360 know when you watch DK Metcalf, he does and have 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:05.520 you know he's not trained to do this. It's it's basically, 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.360 hey out of the blocks and he stood up quickly, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:10.679 and he hadn't done this since high school and he's 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:14.240 only been doing this training for a month now. He 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.520 still is finishing last in his heat, but you can 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.480 see the difference between somebody running like a nine eight 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.760 ninety seven and somebody runs at ten point three. I 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:28.520 think he ran faster than people expected. I didn't have 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.720 any high hopes that he was going to beat anybody, 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.320 but he beat two guys and he'd been training for 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.720 a month. It's just weird to see. If you were 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.920 gonna say, hey, we're gonna do a movie about a 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:45.200 guy who's bigger than everybody else and he plays football 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.480 but he's somehow it's a Disney movie and he gets 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:52.320 into you know, the starting blocks and a bunch of 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:55.240 skinny guys there, and you would you would hire Dk 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:59.240 Metcalf for that role because he looks like the guy 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.720 being like, oh my god. You know, Michael Clark Duncan 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.800 is no longer with us, but that'd be the kind 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:06.839 of actor that you would hire to go, Yeah, we're 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:09.160 gonna have a guy who weighs so many he's so big, 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.400 he's bigger than everybody else, and it'll be a great story. 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:14.800 And that's the feeling I got watching you know, Dk 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:19.680 metcal Yes, tod I was going back to the situation 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.560 with Gold Medal versus Super Bowl. If you've played a 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:25.440 very minor role in winning the super Bowl, as much 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.200 as he might like a Super Bowl ring over a 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.359 gold medal, but we're not allowing that. That's not the conversation. 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.960 This is Usain Bolt, Tom Brady, That's it. Who do 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.960 you want to be? I would take Brady? Okay, thank you, Ton, Yes, MC. 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:41.400 I was just look at forties. John Ross ran a 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:44.440 four point two two compared to dk metcaps four point 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.800 three three. Yeah, so I was wondering could a smaller 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.480 receiver compete at that level? Maybe, like you know, like 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.920 I don't Tyren killed. Sure, I would like to see 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:55.240 that too, just but I don't think they have the training. 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.720 I don't think they have the technique. Well, they don't 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.640 have the time. This was the one thing I thought 0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:05.400 of when I'm watching him races. Why is Seattle letting 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:10.160 him do this? Because if you get injured outside the facility, 0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.360 you don't get paid. We saw this in Denver where 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:18.320 a player got hurt away from the facility. They don't 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.840 have to pay him his contract, and dk Metcalf has 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.680 been a bargain. He's made about two and a half 0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.360 million dollars so far in his career. You know, you 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.080 might be a curiosity. You might get an appearance fee 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.440 at some of these events, but you're not making real cash. 0:15:32.800 --> 0:15:34.960 His next contract is when he's going to be making 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:38.960 you know, sixteen seventeen million dollars a year. Yeah, poll, Yeah, 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:40.600 I'm surprised. I wonder if he had to sign a waiver. 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.320 But I wonder if DK Metcalf besides the challenge of it, 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.200 I wonder if he and his agent said this is 0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:47.760 a great exposure play. There's people who may not have 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.160 heard of DK Metcalf who saw this on their phones 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:52.800 this weekend. And if you look about it, if you said, 0:15:53.280 --> 0:15:55.920 I don't if it's curating or famousness, he's up there. 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.040 He's not the number one right receiver, but he's probably 0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.160 most famous one. Bob Hayes amously won the gold medal 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.720 at the Tokyo Olympics in sixty four. His time a 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.720 world record tying time of ten point zh six. That 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:12.160 was back in sixty four, and Bob, of course went 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.600 to the Cowboys and eventually got into the Hall of Fame. 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:18.000 Herschel Walker is another guy who had tremendous speed. I 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:21.640 don't think Bo Jackson ever ran track yea he did 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:24.080 a little bit. He did. His numbers weren't great, but 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.840 he did run it over on a little bit. Is 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:27.880 that where they probably said, hey, you want to run 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.400 a couple of races here? So was he DK Metcalp 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.880 before DK metcalf Herschel was legit. Herschel lost to Carl 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.720 Lewis in college by two tenths. Yeah, wow, all right, 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:41.040 what else do you have in club? And then we'll 0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:43.360 take break? Okay, we don't have to do this now. 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:46.800 But Russell Westbrook was in the news set the tie 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.160 the all time mark for a triple doubles. I'm just curious, 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.440 are we into Russell Westbrook? Do you want Russell Westbrook 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.440 on your team? You could do it later, but I 0:16:53.520 --> 0:16:57.800 still and also does the stink of the Washington Wizards franchise? 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:59.640 Is that part of the thing here? Like I can't 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.000 get about Russell Westbrook and I'm curious if you are. 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.840 Although I do think they could be a tough opponent 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:09.200 in the playoffs with Bradley Beale and Russell Westbrook. I do. 0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:12.800 I'm not. You know, we've seen the Wizards and it's 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.280 not pretty. But if those two, you know, play at 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:18.439 a really high level, then you know, they could be 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:21.359 dangerous there. Yeah, I'd like the playing teams. Some of 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.600 them look really good. Like if the Lakers and Warriors 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:25.840 are playing teams and you're a one or two seed, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.560 that's not doesn't seem fair all those the Lakers beat 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:32.320 the Suns and if that is the matchup like they. 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:36.400 If I'm Phoenix, you're just hoping that you're not facing 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:40.320 the Lakers in you know, the first round. Anthony Davis 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:44.720 dropped forty two in that win. Luca got tossed for 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:51.240 a cup check and alleged cup check. I thought that 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:55.680 he was smacking Colin Sexton's arm away. The other Danettes 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.320 didn't agree with me. They thought that maybe this was 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:02.720 a little more malicious in intent. Yes, yes, because he 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.600 takes a peek right before he swats his arm down. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.399 He does sort of like a side eye to see 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:11.919 exactly where he's about to hit him. That to me 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.240 is a telltale signed the side eye. I like when 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:15.960 the official walks over and he asked to give the 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:21.159 official explanation, like, wasn't it like an aggressive strike to 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.880 the groin area something? Yes, time, of course, it's gotta 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.160 be a flagrant too. Yeah. Wait, just the whole thing. 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:30.720 You can tell where the officials just a little uncomfortable 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:36.679 announcing this, uh number seventy seven flagrant two aggressive strike 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:42.040 to the groin. Would you say groin? Yeah, point in German. 0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.119 That's pocal check in cup check by the way, Yes, mclo. 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.040 He's like, yeah, it's a glance, but we all know 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:49.840 that hurts, Yes, it does. Yes, instead of a direct 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:55.440 strike there, yes, he number nine nine the defense a 0:18:55.680 --> 0:19:03.040 free pack from the quarterback. Hem yea, all the awkward 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:06.160 calls giving him the business down there. I was at 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:11.359 that game. I was at that game. Marty Lyons given 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:15.119 the business and I had never I'd never heard that 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.320 before where you're actually describing it the way. There was 0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:20.760 nothing in the rule book that says, you know, hey, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:28.919 off sides number ninety two. It just giving him the business. 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:34.520 Sixty nine offers. He's giving him the business. Doesn't say 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.040 that in the rule book. Yes, boy, does it matter 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.240 if Luca made contact with the groin? Is it about 0:19:40.240 --> 0:19:43.520 a tent or delivery? Does he did he complete the act? Well, 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:49.760 Colin Sexton didn't flinch respect. I mean, I I don't 0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:53.040 think I think Luca was trying to, you know, smash 0:19:53.119 --> 0:19:57.640 his arm away from him, but he got a flagrant two. 0:19:58.240 --> 0:20:01.800 Let's take a break.

When it comes 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:31.560 to drug testing in sports, the denials are always vigorous, 0:21:32.400 --> 0:21:36.520 often fanciful, but rarely compelling. The positive drug test keep 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.800 piling up for Bob Baffort's top horses, so do the 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:44.119 explanations for them.
