A Season on the Brink 12 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 1: was a popular book on basketball coach Bobby Knight. It 13 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: was written by John Feinstein, but it would probably be 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: the perfect title for the twenty twenty baseball season. This 15 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: is truly a season on the brink. Things feel really 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: shaky now. You had the Marlins COVID outbreak last week. 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: The Cardinals stepped up this week. They're the story. Their 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: series against the Tiger's postponed because team members of the 19 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: organization tested positive. I love the baseball's back and the 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: league should be in great shape with the Yankees and 21 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers looking like they're the two best teams in their 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: respective leagues. But two weeks in, it's hard to enjoy 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: it because it feels like this is not day to day, 24 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: it's hour to hour where you're just not quite sure. 25 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: I don't know how close the commissioner was to shutting 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: down baseball after what happened to the Marlins and now 27 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals, and maybe you know, those are the 28 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: two hiccups here. I said at the time when the 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: Marlins happened, maybe that's your hiccup, and baseball will learn 30 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,119 Speaker 1: from it, the players will learn from it, and then 31 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: you have the Cardinals situation. Now you can argue, although 32 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: it's a moot point that baseball should have tried to 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: establish a bubble like the NBA and NHL. Nothing you 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: can do about it now, and you just have to 35 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: limit your exposure and hold everyone to a high level 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: of accountability. Derek Jeter is the CEO of the Marlins, 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: and he had a press conference yesterday where he talked 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: about his players who tested positive. He wanted to make 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: sure that people understood what was fact and what was fiction. 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: In our review was determined. We had guys to leave 41 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: to get coffee, to get closed. The guy left to 42 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 1: have dinner at a teammate's house. There were no other 43 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: guests on site. There's no salacious activity. There's no hanging 44 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: out at bars, no clubs, no running around at ladder, 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: no running around the town. Would have boiled down to 46 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: on this particular trip was guys were around each other. 47 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: They got relaxed, and they let their guard down. They 48 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: were getting together in groups. They weren't wearing masks as 49 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: much as they should have, they weren't social distancing. Everyone 50 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: was getting tested. We went the whole spring training two 51 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: point on without a positive, and the entire traveling party 52 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: got a little too comfortable. Should they have been doing that? No, 53 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: And that's then addressed. Well, it's been addressed with the Marlins, 54 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 1: and then you had the Cardinals, and then there were 55 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: reports that they were going out to a casino, and 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: then their series shut down with the Tigers. And it 57 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: goes back to what I said when the Marlins had 58 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: their COVID outbreak. You're not going to have teams play 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: sixty games. Not everybody's playing sixty games. It's going to 60 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: be based off winning percentage. If you're going to get 61 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: into the playoffs. But understand this Baseball, from what I'm told, 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: they don't care about the regular season. They're gonna go limping, crawling, 63 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: scratching into the postseason because now we've gone from ten 64 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: to sixteen teams in the playoffs, and that's where the 65 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 1: money is. They're using sixty as a Hey, we're gonna 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: kind of have a season here. We're gonna have everybody 67 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: kind of ease in, get in shape, and then we'll 68 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: have a postseason. It'll be a hell of a postseason. 69 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: We're gonna have sixteen teams in there. Bottom line is 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: that's where the money is. You do have this COVID 71 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: outbreak that you had with the Marlins and you have 72 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals, and what that does to the other 73 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: teams as well, who we're going to have games with them? 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: How do you make them up? Remember the seven inning 75 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: If you're going to do a doubleheader, you have two 76 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 1: games that are seven innings. I threw that out as 77 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: somebody told me is, hey, you might keep an eye 78 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: on this. The next day baseball goes up and we're 79 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: gonna have doubleheaders and they're gonna be seven innings. I 80 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: was joking about it. It just feels like this is 81 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: very reactionary with baseball. It's just not well thought out. 82 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: The only thing that's thought out is sixteen teams get 83 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,359 Speaker 1: to the postseason. Let's hold on for dear life. We 84 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: get to the postseason, make our money, and then we'll 85 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: try to regroup next year. That's the feeling that I 86 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: get with the way this is being handled right now. 87 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: This program has brought to you by these great wireless 88 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: earbuds the Way to Go.

That's by Raycon dot com slash patrick. 91 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: I was also looking at the offensive numbers in Major 92 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: League Baseball. Here's some numbers that jumped out at me. 93 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: The baseball batting average now all teams combine is two 94 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: thirty three all time. The lowest in any full season 95 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: is nineteen sixty eight. That's when they raised the pitchers mound. 96 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: That was two thirty seven. That's when he had Denny 97 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: McClean winning thirty games. Bob Gibson had the famous one 98 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: point one two era. And keep this in mind, we 99 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,840 Speaker 1: don't have pitchers hitting this year. This should be a 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: great year for hitting. Batting average should be a whole 101 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: lot higher, but instead it's lowered. The home run rate 102 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: is down from last year, but it's still the third 103 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: highest all time. Strikeout rate is the highest it's ever been. 104 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: Twenty four percent of all plate appearances result in a strikeout. 105 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 1: That would suggest that guys are swinging for home runs 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: more than ever. One of the strangers stats as well. 107 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 1: The Colorado Rockies had the second lowest ra among starting 108 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: pitching staffs. So you're gonna have a lot of anomalies 109 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 1: aberrations here with this sixty game season, and we've already 110 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: seen some of that so far, but hopefully Cardinals and Marlins, 111 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 1: and that sends the warning to everybody else around Major 112 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: League Baseball. It just feels like they're holding on for 113 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: dear life, holding your breath that you're gonna make it 114 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: through the regular season here. But I do think the 115 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: commissioner is if we have another one of these, I 116 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: don't know if baseball can survive it, because you're gonna 117 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,479 Speaker 1: make a total mockery of the regular season, and maybe 118 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: we already have. But to try to get fifty games, 119 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: is it going to be forty five? Is it going 120 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: to be winning percentage. And from what I was told 121 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: yesterday by a Sourds, Baseball doesn't care. They just want 122 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: to get through this. They just want to get to 123 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: the postseason. Because because he heard me yesterday and I'm going, well, 124 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,919 Speaker 1: you can't do this and everybody's not playing sixty games. 125 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: It's not a level playing field. And sent me a 126 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: text after the show, and he goes, Baseball didn't care 127 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: about the regular season. They just give us sixteen teams. 128 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: Make sure the Dodgers and Yankees are in. We're fine. Now. 129 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what the commissioner said, but 130 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 1: that was what my source said. Baseball doesn't care about 131 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: the regular season. Hey, you played fifty four games, you 132 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: played fifty eight, you played forty seven. What's your winning percentage? 133 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: If I'm the Marlins, I just say we're not gonna 134 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: play anymore. I think they are two and one. They 135 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: qualify for the postseason right now. McLevin, do you have 136 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: a poll question for me today? By the way, it's 137 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: an interesting guest list. So Mike Tyson's gonna fight again. 138 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: Tyson will join us in the final hour. He's also 139 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: involved in Shark Week. He's fighting a Shark. Now I 140 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: think I gotta ask him. I have no idea, and 141 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: Tyson's gonna join his via zoom, so that'll be entertaining. 142 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: Joey Bosa, the Chargers defensive end, just signed that record 143 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: breaking deal, and then Alex Caruso the Lakers guard. Lakers 144 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: beat the Jazz last night, so they secured the number 145 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: one seed in the West. I mentioned this I think Monday, 146 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: and I was wondering, is it a positive? Maybe it 147 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: was last Friday. Is it a good thing that the 148 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: Lakers are going to be the number one seed because 149 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 1: you're going to have probably less time to prepare for 150 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: your opening round opponent than anybody else because you have 151 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: all these teams jockeying for that eighth seed. Are they 152 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: playing Memphis? Is New Orleans going to be there? Is 153 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 1: Portland going to be there? Is somebody dropping down that 154 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: we don't know about. You're not going to be able 155 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: to prepare. Now, you might say, well, come on, you 156 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: should be able to put away those teams Portland. If 157 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: Portland's there, Portland will be a difficult out I think 158 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: for the Lakers. But they have the number one seed 159 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: in the West. There's no home court advantage. Though all 160 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: you get is, hey, we're the number one seed in 161 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: the West, and then your consolation prize is going to 162 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: be somebody that how prepared are you going to be 163 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: to face them in the opening round? But watching last 164 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: night when they beat the Utah Jazz, Anthony Davis played 165 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: great and put up some big numbers there and beating Utah, 166 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: so they're the number one seed. Caruso will join is 167 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: coming up a little bit later on Rockets Trailblazers coming 168 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: up tonight. That is spicy. The NFL sets the opt 169 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 1: out deadline that'll be on Thursday. Now this has been 170 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: going back and forth, but it feels like every week 171 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: the NFL and the NFL Players Association is signing a 172 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: new contract or there's an addendum to a contract, and 173 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: now your deadline if you don't want to play this 174 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: season is going to be Thursday. We've yet to see 175 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: that marquee name say I'm not going to play. Now. 176 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: The Patriots have quite a few players. Obviously that'll hurt 177 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: their depth. If an offensive lineman or defensive lineman bowls 178 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: out and nobody's really noticing. But if you have a 179 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver, running back, quarterback, who decides not to then 180 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: that'll get headlines. But Dante high Tower not playing for 181 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 1: the Patriots, that's a big deal. Now he's not a 182 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: Marquis name, but that's a big deal. And I think 183 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: if pro football is able to get past Thursday and 184 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: you don't have any Marquis names, they'll feel pretty fortunate. 185 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: I think, like they dodged a bullet here, mcloven and 186 00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: what do you have for me today? So? How big 187 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: is the asterisk for the twenty twenty Major League Baseball season? Big? Huge, 188 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: so overwhelming that they shouldn't even go through the World Series. 189 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 1: And I'm speaking as a Phillies fan because the Marlins 190 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: screwed their season and they finally get back and they 191 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: have to play Garrett Cole last night? How is this fair? 192 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: If the Phillies win the World Series? Is there an 193 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: asterisk attention to this exactly? That is not happy? Yeah, 194 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: that's probably not gonna happen, But it feels like the 195 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: competitive balance is really moving. Um, I think your best 196 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: teams are still going to be your best teams, but 197 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's unfortunate that you're not going to have 198 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: a true even a true sixty game schedule. You know, 199 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: we had problems with sixty games, and then all of 200 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, I'll take fifty, I'll take forty 201 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: because that's baseball's mentality and I'm not I'm not going 202 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to be a stickler for details. This entire season. Sports 203 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: has an asterisk attached to it for twenty twenty, not 204 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: just baseball. So I don't like it, but that I 205 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: have no other option here. Who am I complaining to? Yeah, mcleven, 206 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: I'm going to respectfully disagree. I think the NBA does 207 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 1: not have an asterisks. The competition is amazing, it's even 208 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: better than it was. No sports has an asterisk, right, 209 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: but just the entire season of how we've had to adapt, 210 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 1: the players, they're in a bubble, all of those things. 211 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: It's not a negative that there's an asterisk there. It's just, 212 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, make sure you remember what this was all about. 213 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: Fifty years from now, people are gonna go, wait, what 214 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: happened in sports? Wait? Basketball went into a bubble? Like 215 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 1: That's why I'm saying there's an asterisk, because we've never 216 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: seen anything like this, and it just denotes a crazy season. 217 00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: I've said before, if the Lakers win a title this year, 218 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: that counts as a title and you don't have home 219 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: court advantage, it's even tougher to do what they're doing. 220 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 1: Or if the Bucks win it, and if you win 221 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: the baseball season, okay, if you're playing less games than 222 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: somebody else, Yeah, are we gonna go? I mean it's 223 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: not going to be an asterisk like the astros ad, 224 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: but I think we're gonna look at it and say, 225 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: maybe not legitimately, maybe a little less. Yes, mcclen But 226 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't it be fair to put NBA and MLB into 227 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: two different categories? Like you can't put an atric it's 228 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: totally different. I feel like the non bubble sports are 229 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: so different than the ball. The NBA is doing everything 230 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: right and they're there's definitely not an aastric. It's the 231 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: best basketball we've seen. But mccleven, I'm not attaching it 232 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: to the NBA season. But MLB does get it. Yes 233 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 1: they do, because I don't even know if they're going 234 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: to finish. How about we do that? How about we 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,679 Speaker 1: wait until everybody's done? How about can we finish twenty twenty? Mcleven, 236 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: can will you allow me to do? Then? I'm just 237 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: mad about the Phillies, But good luck with that. What 238 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,560 Speaker 1: are you thinking the quality of NBA play, I'm not 239 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: going to complain. I got I'm fine with it. Guys 240 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: don't look like they're in great shape. You know, Zion 241 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: doesn't look like he's in great shape at all. But 242 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: he was impactful last night. And I can't help but 243 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 1: think back to the game against Utah when they open 244 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: up the season. If you're on a minute's restriction, use 245 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: him in a situation where he's going to be more valuable. 246 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: And three minutes, four minutes, five minutes, three minutes, and 247 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: then you lose the game, a close game to Utah Jazz. 248 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 1: You could be two in one right now, and you 249 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: beat Memphis last night. That's how that's who you have 250 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: to beat. And Zion looked really good last night. As 251 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: far as the numbers, he doesn't look in shape. And 252 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 1: that's the only thing that worries me is now you go, hey, 253 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: we gotta have him out there. Hey looked okay, play 254 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes. If you're gonna if you're gonna have 255 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: a minute's restriction, then stay with the minutes restriction. I'm 256 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: fine with that, but I don't want I don't want 257 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 1: the coaching staff or you know, front office to go. 258 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: You know, you put him out there a little bit. Hey, 259 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: he's playing, well, keep him out there. You know, you 260 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: can't go from fifteen to twenty five. That seems like 261 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: a pretty good jump there. But they did get to 262 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: win last night, a much needed win and putting a 263 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,040 Speaker 1: little bit more pressure on Memphis. Yeah, PAULI, I guess 264 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: I don't get what Prolof's saying. Is he saying that 265 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: the quality of play in basketball is better than the 266 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: quality of play in MLB? Yes? Overall? Well, yes, now 267 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: basketball NBA, the scoring is way up. That means nobody's 268 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: playing defense. No, they're shooting. They're all in their little 269 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: home court. They are all shooting their lights out. They're 270 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: all playing great. Yeah, but there's no defense being played here. 271 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: I think they're I think I think they're very comfortable 272 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: in this little court and they are playing excellent, excellent offense. 273 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it's just black of defense. The baseball 274 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: players are in their home parks, and the baseball players 275 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: there's no competitive balance because the teams are getting all 276 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 1: screwed up by this coronavirus. They're all over the places. 277 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: Imagine there was a series of rainouts in baseball, you 278 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't say that the league is tainted. If there are 279 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: three days of rainouts for the Mets and they didn't 280 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: play for three days, they had to make it up later, 281 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: which they are going to do. That doesn't mean the 282 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: league is tainted. The level of play is even, The 283 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: playing field is even in baseball, it's even in the NBA. 284 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: NBA is not having the troubles, but the quality of 285 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: play I don't think differs between the two sports. There's 286 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: no way you could say the Phillies and Marlins and 287 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: Cardinals have the same chance that the teams that are 288 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 1: playing regularly. They maybe has to be disrupted, right, The 289 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 1: NBA removed teams from having a chance. You know, they 290 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: removed teams from even being factoring in the playoffs. They 291 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: removed teams from the season. Doesn't that put an asteris 292 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: on this that that all the teams are even present 293 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: playing in the NBA A little quiet? Well? I know, 294 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the teams that aren't there are out 295 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: of the playoffs. I know they're out of the playoffs, 296 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: but this is still the regular season. MLB didn't say, 297 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: you know what, yeah, the Rockies weren't that good last year. 298 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: So let's leave them off the sixty game run. Let's 299 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: let's take the Phillies out because they've sucked the past 300 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: five years. Let's let's take them out of What are 301 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: we What are we arguing here? Like we got I know, 302 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: but we got caught up on the asterisk with the NBA, 303 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: and I said, it's not with the NBA, it's the 304 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: entire season because this is unique. Will never have a 305 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: season like this. The quality of baseball they've just started. 306 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: The quality can't be as good as the NBA right 307 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: now because baseball is so in a state of flux 308 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 1: that you don't have teams. We're not playing at this 309 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, we had a series that was scheduled, now 310 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: it's postponed, and then we don't even know. Marlins aren't 311 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: gonna play n till Tuesday. So aren't they going to 312 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: put out a minor league team too? They're they're not 313 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: gonna be a real team, aren't they having all their backups? Probably? So, yeah, 314 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 1: But baseball, the quality of play is not going to 315 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: be on par with any of these other sports. With hockey, um, 316 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 1: you know, football and football comes back. I just I 317 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 1: don't see that because games have been postponed, teams have 318 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: been two, teams have been decimated here, and plus look 319 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: at all the injuries that you have with pitchers. You know, 320 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: the Braves just lost you know, their star pitcher, Micah Sirocca. 321 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: I mean that guy, he's great and they've lost him 322 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: for the year with the achilles injury. But uh, yeah, 323 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: it's you know, baseball is going to be odd. It's 324 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: just odd that there's no consistency there. And uh, you 325 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: know watching them last night with the Yankees, you know, Garrett, 326 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: they should just give Garrett cole to Si Young. He 327 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: might be seven and Ozero and be the Cy Young winner. 328 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's it's just going to be that. It's 329 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: a strange season. But quality of play. I'm not getting 330 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: caught up on quality of play. I think eventually we'll 331 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: get there and when the games really mean something, because 332 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: these are regular season games with the NBA, regular season 333 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: games with baseball. Once you get to the postseason, I 334 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 1: think you'll see a different competitiveness, that intensity there. So 335 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to complain. I'm not going to complain. 336 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back. We got to come up 337 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: with a poll question.

Yeah, I'll let you and Paulie go 340 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: back and forth during the commercial break. There.

At the NFL Draft, 381 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: the University of Minnesota wide receiver Rashad Bateman announced that 382 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: he is foregoing his final year of eligibility at Minnesota 383 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: to focus on prepping for the twenty twenty one NFL Draft. 384 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: Let me refresh your memory on this kid. Third team 385 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 1: All American, last year, first team All Big Ten, Big 386 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: Ten Receiver of the Year, considered a first round draft pick. 387 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: Now you've got a couple of players here. Alabama's got 388 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: two players, DeVante Smith and Jalen Waddle who are going 389 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: to be first round picks. Rashad Bateman, justin Rossi Clemson 390 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: got injured. You got Jamar Chase at LSU. This has 391 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: the makings of being a great and we just had 392 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 1: a great receiving draft this past year. But Minnesota hasn't 393 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: had I don't know the last time or how many 394 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: first round draft picks they've had. But Bateman is the 395 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: real deal, and he's deciding he's not going to play 396 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: this year and he's going to prepare for the draft. 397 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: All right, McLevin. Let's poll question we're going to go with. 398 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: That's an instruing question. If you were a top NFL prospect, 399 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: say even a quarterback, would you play this year or 400 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: would you just shut it down for the draft if 401 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: you think you're already graded at a first round I 402 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: just need I don't know what's going to happen. And 403 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: there's part of me that would say, you know you're 404 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: with your team, so you play. But if I'm getting 405 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 1: advice from somebody saying there's no reason to go out 406 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: there and play, and I think you're going to see 407 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 1: a few more players do this, I don't know if 408 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 1: this is going to be you know, we're going to 409 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: open you know, the doors and it's going to be 410 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: a tidal wave here. But now he can sign with 411 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: an agent, he can start to work out, and he's 412 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 1: going to get paid. I'd have to know a little 413 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: bit more of where we're going with this if if 414 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: I want to risk this, But I think you're going 415 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 1: to find some players who are just going to say 416 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: this isn't worth it this year? Yeah, mcluban. Is it 417 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 1: a little like the Bowl game thing like Nick Bosa 418 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: sitting out or Christian McCaffrey. It might be Yeah, it 419 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: might be Yembo, I was thinking the opposite. Remember four 420 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: years ago we were in a tizzy when Christian McCaffrey 421 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: skipped a Sun Bowl, an exhibition event, just to be 422 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: ready for the draft. Now we have players leaving before 423 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: the season starts, and Nick Bosa had left you halfway 424 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 1: through the season. Well, I had I had no problem 425 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: with Christian McCaffrey sitting on a bowl game because it 426 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: was a meaningless bowl game. At that position, as a 427 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: running back, you only have so many carries in you, 428 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: and I had no problem with that whatsoever. Yeah, mcclub 429 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: by the way, whenever you're ready. We have a series 430 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: of random polls, including a Mike Tyson one that got 431 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 1: this side of the glass arguing big time, is it 432 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: gonna upset Mike? We're not. We are not allowing you 433 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: to even bring it up to Mike because if he 434 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: ever got a hold of it, it could end up 435 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,680 Speaker 1: happening and we don't want that. Okay, This is all 436 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 1: Todd has been doing today is his Mike Tyson impersonation. 437 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: And I said, I'd prefer you didn't do it too 438 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,439 Speaker 1: much here. I don't know if I want to come 439 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 1: on with him a really tough interview. I like to 440 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: the pushycat interview. So they ask you like the easy 441 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,160 Speaker 1: questions about talking about you. I don't want to want 442 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 1: to talk about my fighting career. Why people feel amazing? Okay, 443 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 1: when do you have mcloves? So we're debating would you 444 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: take a punch from Mike Tyson for a million dollars? 445 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: And three of the four immediately said no. One said yes, 446 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: where is the punch? He gets a punch you wherever? Well, 447 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: what if I just had him punch me in the arm. No, 448 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: it's his choice. He could Yeah, you can't control you can't. 449 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: You can't say where to punch you. Well, I could 450 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: say to Mike, Mike, I'm gonna split a million with you. 451 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: I'll give you a five hundred thousand and hit me 452 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: in the arm. H let's say you can't do that 453 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: for the rules. Okay, all right, I found a loophole here. Yeah. No, 454 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: he might take that, but he gets to punch you, 455 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: and he wants to prove something like he's gonna treat 456 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: you like Marvis Fraser? Would I take a punch from 457 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: Tyson for a million? And he's got boxing gloves on. 458 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: I'll give you boxing gloves. They they're normal kind, not 459 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: the sixteen inch twelve sixteen ounce it's whatever. Yeah, yeah, 460 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: I'll give you sixteen in those big ones. I wouldn't 461 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: be fine with that, but I'm changing my answer now. Yeah, 462 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: where can you guess which one said? Yes, hopefully Yeah, yeah, 463 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: Paulink definitely, yeah, absolutely, a million bucks. He's gonna hit you. 464 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: He's gonna knock you unconscious, so you really won't feel 465 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: the pain. It will just be a blackout and a 466 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: couple of hours later, wake up and you go boat shopping. 467 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, you're gonna have a broken orbital bone 468 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: or you know, ear damage and hearing damage permanent. But 469 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: a million dollars for zero work and basically being knocked unconscious. 470 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: I've be knocked unscious before by a punch, and it sucks, 471 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: but there was nothing on the other side of it. 472 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: Yes to what if you don't wake up in a 473 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 1: few hours and he catches you at a certain part 474 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: of your skull where he kills you, or you're in 475 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: some kind of coma for a long period of time. 476 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: I don't know how great that million dollars is at 477 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,360 Speaker 1: that point. Vegetable state, as long as Paul's wife knows 478 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: the risk, and she's fine signing off on that.

Would you do it 485 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: in the state of Florida? Mclove? I'm not doing it 486 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: at all. Oh, Polly just said, like, oh, yeah, you 487 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: lose your hearing forever. Pollie's only got one good eye, 488 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: by the way, and I didn't get a million for that. 489 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: It didn't really bother me. But you're not gonna tell 490 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: Tyson which ones your bad eye because you don't want 491 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: him to hit you in the good eye. I got 492 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: fifty fifty yeah, Setan, No, no, there, there's I would 493 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: do a lot of things for a million dollars, but 494 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know that that's one of them. Actually, yeah, 495 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it because Tyson always talked about hitting 496 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: somebody in the nose and driving it up into your skull. 497 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: Now I'm good. I'm not gonna get my boat. I'm 498 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 1: good with that. I would I'd rather be able to 499 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: not have a boat and just have a normal life 500 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 1: than to have a boat. And me fuck, ain't long? 501 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: Ain't he? Hey you got a nice bump? Yeah? My new? 502 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 1: How'd you get it? My mind? Mind? Me wrong? Oh, 503 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: nobody care? You mumbling over the waves? You know, just 504 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 1: hit those horses? What happened to it? I'm gonna wrong. 505 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: I didn't realize that's I was gonna scramble you. Yeah, 506 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: that's how Paul's gonna sound. Get Tyson to hit him? Hey, PAULI, uh, 507 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: what do we have on the rundown today? Well, I'm wrong, 508 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. Wrong. It's like after twelve years of Paul 509 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: challenging people to like wrestle and tackle it all, this 510 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 1: is the one that finally goes wrong. Yeah, mc Well, 511 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: the next logical question and a Paul we've done before, 512 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 1: off Tyson, would you get a face tattoo for a 513 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: million dollars? A big face tattoo? Remember when Mike did 514 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: it and we went, oh my god, what's happened to Mike? 515 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 1: And now look at the number of people who do 516 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: face tattoos. I saw where Cindy Crawford's son has a 517 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: tattoo under his eye. I think it's um, I misunderstood 518 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: he but misunderstood under his eye post malone. With all 519 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: the tattoos he's got on his face. Yeah, he's going big. 520 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: Yeah that's I love seeing the updates on his tattoos 521 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 1: because he's like I would just love to know the 522 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: process of where he's like, I needed this big battle 523 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: axe on my face or whatever he's got. You know, 524 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: and you're like, yeah, what what was the decision there? There? 525 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 1: Probably wasn't you know. What happens is always know what 526 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: you want before you go into a tattoo parlor, because 527 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,440 Speaker 1: if you go in there and start looking through books, 528 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna end up with something you're probably going to regret. 529 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm not saying, I'm just saying, yeah, hey, whoa look 530 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: at that. No, I need this toad sitting under a mushroom. 531 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: I need this is perfect. Yes, McLeod asked me, I 532 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: shaw you reaching up for some mail the other day. 533 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: I saw a little butterfly there on the lower back. Yeah, 534 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: very pretty, Yeah, thank you, thank you. It used to 535 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: be you got tattoos, but you would hide them not anymore, Like, 536 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: how could Cindy Crawford and Randy Gerber, who I think 537 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: is probably a billionaire by now or something like that. 538 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: He went into business with George Clooney with the tequila 539 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: and their son is misunderstood. I mean, you can be misunderstood, 540 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 1: but you don't have to put it on your face. 541 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: It's face at the state should say my mom was hot. Oh, misunderstood, Yes, mcloben. 542 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: Can I really in with a serious pole question? Oh? Oh, 543 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,200 Speaker 1: we're gonna get serious, Okay, the question everyone's asking today. Okay, 544 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one junior who's playing well in 545 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: the bubble to start your team. Michael Porter junior twenty 546 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 1: two thirty seven points last night for their Nuggets, or 547 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: Jaren Jackson junior, who's averaging close to twenty seven a 548 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: game for the Grizzlies. Jaren Jackson Junior the third last night. 549 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: You got out a third for those guys. Oh, I know. 550 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: And Michael Porter, he had the back injury. I think 551 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: he might have been the number one player coming out 552 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:33,440 Speaker 1: of high school years ago. Then went to I think Missouri. 553 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 1: His brother also went to Missouri, and then the Nuggets 554 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: drafted him in the first round, but they knew that 555 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: he still had back issues. Like the Nuggets drafted Bull 556 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: Bowl and he had foot issues. But he played in 557 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: the Bubble a couple of games and he's actually looked 558 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: pretty good. Minut Bull's son. So they've taken a chance 559 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,640 Speaker 1: on a couple of players there. But Michael Porter junior, 560 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: Yeah it looked okay, Yeah, poem, Yeah, I watched ball 561 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: a little bit in the preseason. He looks he looks 562 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 1: pretty good. He hasn't played much since they got in 563 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: the bubble. And he can shoot. He can shoot from three. 564 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 1: He was at Oregon. I remember, he's like seven two. 565 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: He's out there. It almost feels like he could go 566 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: from the three point line and just like fall down 567 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 1: and almost have a layup, Like he's just so long 568 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: a finger roll. Yeah, it's mcvin. Are these bubble adjusted evaluation? 569 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: It's Michael Porter scores thirty seven, like twenty more that 570 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: its career high, and you're like, he was Okay, these 571 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: guys are scoring huge numbers. Yeah, guys, we don't know. 572 00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: I mean, like like our guy, Oh and he had 573 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: a what GJ. Warren? He only had thirty four last night, 574 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 1: So what do you go from fifty three to thirty four. 575 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: So they don't have old Adipot Malcolm Brogden I think 576 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: is just coming back. They don't have Sabonus and t J. 577 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,440 Speaker 1: Warren is dominating in the bubble. Crazy. Yeah. Paul Michael 578 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: Porter is an interesting case because he was a huge 579 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 1: recruit when he went to Missouri. I think he played 580 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: three games there. Then he's out for the season the 581 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: back injury. They draft him anyway, he doesn't play a 582 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: minute as a rookie. He started a total of three 583 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: NBA games in his career and three college games in 584 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: his career in a three year span. I know, but 585 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,640 Speaker 1: everyone says he's his unbelievable prospects. His NBA career is 586 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: already as long as his college career exactly. Game game 587 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: was yeah, yeah, but he put up thirty seven and 588 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 1: twelve last night. He's twenty two years of age. There's 589 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: so much young talent in the NBA. Does they come 590 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,000 Speaker 1: in at eighteen or night? You almost forget about him. 591 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: So they come in and you go, oh, okay. Dallas 592 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: drafted Luca Trey Young going to Atlanta, and then we 593 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: sort of move on from them, like two or three 594 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,080 Speaker 1: years later and you go, how old is Jaren Jackson. 595 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: He came in at eighteen. He might have been seventeen 596 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: when he was drafted, but he's only twenty years of age. 597 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: He put up thirty three, twenty two and twenty one 598 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: in three Bubble games so far from Memphis. But the 599 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: NBA's in good hands as far as young talent coming in. 600 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 1: You just hope you're able to get somebody who can 601 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: be the face of the league or faces of the league. 602 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 1: And Luca is going to be one of those faces. 603 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: Trey Young might be one of those faces. Zion's going 604 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: to be one of those faces. That's a pretty good 605 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: starting point when you have three guys like that who 606 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 1: are under the age of twenty two. Very promising. Alex Caruso, 607 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: the Lakers guard, will join us coming up. He stayed 608 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: in the bubble, didn't go to his sister's wedding. What 609 00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,520 Speaker 1: do you get your sister if you don't go to 610 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 1: her wedding because you're in the bubble, Maybe you give 611 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 1: her a championship ring. Joey Bosa the Chargers will join 612 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: us in. Mike Tyson will join us as well. Rick 613 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 1: and Hawaii joins us on the program. Good morning, Rick, 614 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 1: How are you hey, Dan? How are you good? Sarah? 615 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: What do you have Hey, I've got a great Mike 616 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,280 Speaker 1: Tyson story, seeing as he's going to be on the 617 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 1: show later. And this goes back probably, I want to say, 618 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,520 Speaker 1: somewhere around thirty years ago, when I got the chance 619 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,520 Speaker 1: to wait on the Champ along with a party that 620 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: included Don King, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Danny DeVito, Stevie Nicks, Robert 621 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior, and then the Champ. As they insisted that 622 00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: he'd be called that that night, and the Champ had 623 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: two handlers with him who only who actually did not 624 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,760 Speaker 1: even allow me to speak personally to the Champ. Everything 625 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 1: had to go through his handlers. And so Ricket's okay 626 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 1: to call him Mike or Tyson. You don't have to 627 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 1: call him the Champ anymore. It's okay. Don't don't worry 628 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:50,240 Speaker 1: about your safety. Well back then, believe me, my safety 629 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: was in danger because they insisted that he'd just be 630 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: referred to as the Champ. So when it came time 631 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: to order dinner, every he was ordering, and when it 632 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: got to the time for the Champ to order, all 633 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,239 Speaker 1: he wanted was a double caesar salad. Maybe he was 634 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 1: in training or something. So I figured I would bring 635 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: the champ a caesar salad as a first course and 636 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: then bring him another caesar salad as his second course. 637 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: So when I talked to his handlers about doing that, 638 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: one of them all of a sudden got rather angry 639 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: with me and basically said, but you don't understand. The 640 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: champ wants it now. He wants it all now. So 641 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: while everybody was having their app I just brought the 642 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 1: Champ his double caesar salad, which he promptly ate, well, 643 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: thank you, Rick. I was hoping somebody was getting punched. 644 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: I was hoping a little bit more Rick than an. 645 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 1: He ate the double Caesar's sound. The irony is it's 646 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 1: almost dinner time. After the story, I thought maybe Stevie 647 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: Nicks a Fleetwood Mac was going to be involved in this. 648 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,640 Speaker 1: Not a name drop. The veto in there and it 649 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: ends with he ate the double Caesar's no, And then 650 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: I brought the dessert.

Jamie and North Carolina is on the program. 680 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 1: Good morning, Jamie. What do you have? Hey, Dan, guys 681 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:02,680 Speaker 1: six four two o five now work down little wait 682 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 1: in the kitchens and hot. But I was just calling 683 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:10,439 Speaker 1: about I think John Morant might be number four out 684 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: of the three young NBA players he might have left out. 685 00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 1: I think he might be the best out of all 686 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: of them. If he's just his bodybuild, he looks like 687 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 1: he's gonna be really big, really strong. And I know 688 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,080 Speaker 1: Luca is out of bounds, but I think John Morant 689 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 1: might be the best out of all of them. Yeah, 690 00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,480 Speaker 1: he's not, but he's a lot of fun. Thank you, Jamie. 691 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 1: I mean, Luca's putting up historical numbers here. I mean 692 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,200 Speaker 1: these are unheard of numbers. And you know, being you 693 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 1: got to be in a bigger market too. That's gonna 694 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 1: hurt John Morant being in Memphis. But he's a fun player, 695 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,399 Speaker 1: explosive player, going to be the Rookie of the Year 696 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 1: and might develop into that face of or one of 697 00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 1: the faces of the NBA. But they're all they're all 698 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,200 Speaker 1: so young when they come in eighteen nineteen, twenty years 699 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: of age. You know, go back to you know, when 700 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: I was growing up, guys would get into the NBA. 701 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 1: They were twenty two, twenty three. They were more of 702 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: a polished product because they had played college basketball. You know, 703 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: a lot of these young kids they're coming in, they're 704 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,839 Speaker 1: learning to be a pro, they're learning to have a 705 00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,239 Speaker 1: polished game because they've come from aau one year in 706 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,000 Speaker 1: college at the most and coming right in and it 707 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: takes a while. It took Garnett a while, it took 708 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,040 Speaker 1: Kobe a while. Those are two of the greatest players 709 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 1: of all time. And you look at what they did 710 00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: their rookie years. Look at what these kids are doing 711 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: their rookie years. I mean, Zion's rookie year, he's averaging 712 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: twenty three Garnett eight points his first year. Kobe was 713 00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:53,960 Speaker 1: coming off the bench. These guys are putting up incredible 714 00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: numbers at young ages. Yeah, mcclub, there was a funny 715 00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: thing in that Grizzlies Pelicans game. How many Duke players 716 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: they were. It was Grayson. I didn't even Grayson Allen 717 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 1: came in there, he is, He's played great, apparently really effective. 718 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 1: He was covering JJ Reddick. It was like, uh, you 719 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 1: know that meme where Spider Man's like a Spider Man. 720 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: They're the same No, no, no, they're not the same player. 721 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: But people on Twitter were noting that the most likable guy, 722 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: Zion Brandon Ingram JJ Reddick are all out of Duke 723 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,600 Speaker 1: where it's the bad Duke guys. Well, people didn't like 724 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,880 Speaker 1: jj Reddick at Duke, but they've changed. I don't know 725 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,400 Speaker 1: what happened with that, because I think that people thought, okay, 726 00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:37,719 Speaker 1: they hated Duke, and JJ Reddick was the face of Duke, 727 00:40:37,840 --> 00:40:41,720 Speaker 1: so you you know, by proxy you just hate jj Reddick. 728 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: He's one of the greatest shooters ever and his ability 729 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,600 Speaker 1: to shoot when he was in college, like when you 730 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 1: make shots and you're not even sure if it went 731 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: through because nothing, it didn't touch anything. He was one 732 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: of the purest shooters in college I've ever seen. And 733 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: you get to the NBA and then we kind of 734 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,120 Speaker 1: move on and we go, oh, where's jj Reddick. Oh, 735 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,799 Speaker 1: he's playing getting some minutes here and he's made the 736 00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,680 Speaker 1: playoffs every single year he's been in the league. He's 737 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: a great shooter and has become a He's had a 738 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: very good career, I don't want to say great. And 739 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 1: he hasn't won anything, but started out slow and then 740 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: kind of found his rhythm. I don't think he ever 741 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: made an All Star team. Yeah, I think we'd like 742 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,440 Speaker 1: JJ Reddick now because he reminded us when college basketball 743 00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,000 Speaker 1: the players stayed for more than ten seconds. Even though 744 00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: he's not that old. He played in early two thousands 745 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 1: when guys stayed even two years. Yeah, there's always been 746 00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 1: that run of players and then all of a sudden 747 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: And I brought this up last year. I said America's 748 00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:48,560 Speaker 1: embraced Duke and who would have thought that that would 749 00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:52,399 Speaker 1: ever happen because of Zion Williamson, Like he didn't root 750 00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: against him, but it felt like if it was Christian Laytner. 751 00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:01,320 Speaker 1: JJ Reddick can run down the list, Uh, Greg Paulus 752 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:11,560 Speaker 1: woj the worst slapping the floor, m h, why do 753 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,279 Speaker 1: you hate wod I hate all those guys.
