Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. They call it social distancing, a concept that
Speaker 1: some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing
Speaker 1: for years. I remember this girl going gross get away
Speaker 1: from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people
Speaker 1: personal space. I think we all need to hug as
Speaker 1: often as possible in the break after the show, before
Speaker 1: the show. Never with you ever, but with recent events,
Speaker 1: it's important to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is
Speaker 1: available with no human interaction, none, no no. So listen
Speaker 1: on your radio, via podcast or even YouTube dot com slash.
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show a safe place to go. So
Speaker 1: welcome to the Dan Patrick Show, temporarily not working from
Speaker 1: home or the studio. Basically, what I'm saying is, Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick is off today broadcasting from the Mercedes Studios in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, in for Dan Patrick. Hi, Hey, I want
Speaker 1: to thank you guys for filling into the reaction has
Speaker 1: been great. Is Jason Smith and Doug Gottlieb Welcome inside
Speaker 1: hour or two of the program. Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb
Speaker 1: from Fox Sports Radio in for Dan and the Danettes today. Dan.
Speaker 1: The Danetts taking a planned week off this week, so
Speaker 1: they're all full week they had this planned week of vacation.
Speaker 1: Everything is fine. Andrew Perloff is online talking to people.
Speaker 1: Everything is good, just a week off for them, as
Speaker 1: you and I filling in today and you and I
Speaker 1: combining filling in over the course of this week here
Speaker 1: on the show. And so far in the first hour,
Speaker 1: we've covered social distancing, We've covered binge watching on television,
Speaker 1: We've covered the NBA, we've covered the Olympics, and now
Speaker 1: it's time to get to the National Football League. Time
Speaker 1: to get to the NFL. Can we not talk about
Speaker 1: like him? This sudden Cam Newton is the greatest player
Speaker 1: ever wise and he signed. Thing is kind of kind
Speaker 1: of comical to me. The odds of the new quarterback
Speaker 1: for the New England Patriots this coming season are out,
Speaker 1: actually for twenty twenty and twenty twenty one. I think
Speaker 1: the only thing crazier than Cam Newton has people who
Speaker 1: think that Deshaun Watson's gonna end up with the Patriots.
Speaker 1: I love that part of this. But the odds are out,
Speaker 1: and for twenty twenty, the odds are Jared Stidham number
Speaker 1: one will be the quarterback who is obviously there to
Speaker 1: take over Brian Hoyer, Cam Newton is third, followed by
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Cody Kessler, and Jamis Winston. Those are your
Speaker 1: six favorites, according to Vegas put on the odds to
Speaker 1: be the starting quarterback Week one for the Patriots this season. Stidham, Hoyer,
Speaker 1: Cam Dalton, Kessler, Jamis Winston. The odds change in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one because Deshaun Watson becomes the third favorite to
Speaker 1: start in twenty twenty one. But let's deal with this
Speaker 1: first part here, Stidham, Hoyer and now Undley Cam Newton
Speaker 1: and Patriots fans everywhere want Cam Newton to be the
Speaker 1: starting quarterback of the Patriots. Oh you get you all
Speaker 1: all over social media, all over the fans want Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: They want Cam Newton to be their guy because they
Speaker 1: want somebody they you know, I think Patriots fans are saying,
Speaker 1: all right, we lost Brady, who you got next? Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, you're gonna try to make Jared's did him work?
Speaker 1: You're gonna try to make Brian who your work? Again?
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, we want Cam new We want a name.
Speaker 1: We need somebody's gonna be able to push the football downfield.
Speaker 1: Now that part I get, I understand the Patriots fans, Listen,
Speaker 1: we just had twenty years of the fast lane. We
Speaker 1: want to I want to stay in the fast lane,
Speaker 1: but I think the reality that people have to understand.
Speaker 1: You know, I know you got some stuff on Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: but the Patriots aren't going to try to compete this
Speaker 1: year with Brady and who can win the breakup? Right,
Speaker 1: Brady's all in in Tampa. Right, this's a win now situation.
Speaker 1: He's got great weapons at wide receiver's got a pretty
Speaker 1: good young defense. He's there to show you, you know
Speaker 1: what it's like the wire. You know, Belichick and Brady
Speaker 1: were like Avon Stringer, Right, Hey, we're close. You did
Speaker 1: a lot together, but in the end we got it.
Speaker 1: Sorry spoiler alert, we got it. We got one of
Speaker 1: them's got to get the other one. Right, So there's
Speaker 1: gonna be this Brady wants to prove everybody wrong and
Speaker 1: show you and look, I'm out from New England. I'm
Speaker 1: out for everything going on. Watch me win, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do better than Belichick did. And Belichick and the
Speaker 1: Patriots are taking a different tack of well, we're gonna
Speaker 1: kind of rebuild now here a little bit, which is
Speaker 1: good news. For the Patriots because it tells me that
Speaker 1: Belichick's gonna be around for a long time, that he's
Speaker 1: gonna see through. But this is gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those bridge type years where they figure stuff out. They
Speaker 1: don't have a lot of money. You know, maybe they
Speaker 1: wind up making a trade here or there, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that they're gonna go crazy. Look, they had
Speaker 1: to haven't added players in free agency, they haven't made
Speaker 1: a big splash and said we're gonna do X, y
Speaker 1: and Z to replace Tom Brady. This looks like this
Speaker 1: is going to be that kind of bridge here where
Speaker 1: I yeah, could Stidham or Horrier be the quarterbacks here? Sure? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: You know, could they sign a veteran to coming At
Speaker 1: some point? They signed Brian Hoyer to be that guy.
Speaker 1: So I think this is this is the Patriots you're
Speaker 1: gonna see, and it's gonna be We're gonna figure things out,
Speaker 1: and then twenty twenty one or after the draft happens,
Speaker 1: when we get our quarterback in the future in place,
Speaker 1: then you're gonna see us really make moves. Yes, let's
Speaker 1: start with the Cam Newton thing. I haven't heard Patriots
Speaker 1: fandom I want him. But last week, it was, well,
Speaker 1: the Bears should have gotten him, or why didn't the
Speaker 1: Chargers get him? Like you have to understand what a
Speaker 1: unique fit Cam Newton would have to be. And I
Speaker 1: do think that when look, when Carolina let him go,
Speaker 1: all right, you can chalk that one up to a
Speaker 1: regime change if you want. You know, the regime changed.
Speaker 1: They just wanted to start start fresh. But when the
Speaker 1: Washington Redskins trade for a Panthers quarterback and it's not
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, and then you know, you got the head
Speaker 1: coach saying, you know the thing, you know, the thing
Speaker 1: we get is we get somebody who knows the system,
Speaker 1: like who knows what the Carolina Panthers one do better
Speaker 1: than Cam Newton like he was the starting quarterback. Scott
Speaker 1: Turner comes over, Norv Turner's son, who Cam had worked
Speaker 1: with the last couple of years. So it's pretty obvious
Speaker 1: that Ron rivera one. What wasn't quite down. The second
Speaker 1: part is the money does matter? Kim who's not coming
Speaker 1: to play for like a million dollars to prove it right?
Speaker 1: Like he views himself, he's in that he's screwed, He's
Speaker 1: in that he still views himself as an MVP, who's
Speaker 1: got to prove himself, Like, all right, you will, I
Speaker 1: to prove myself. Fine, let me be the starter for
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five million for two years, right Teddy Bridgewater
Speaker 1: hasn't been started five games this year, barely through the ball,
Speaker 1: and he gets twenty million years for three straight, for
Speaker 1: three years. Like, I'm better than that. I should get more,
Speaker 1: which I guess on paper he should, but no one
Speaker 1: knows of his arms sound. He didn't throw the ball.
Speaker 1: He hasn't thrown the ball well in over a year.
Speaker 1: There's a reason they shut him down. And then you
Speaker 1: factor in he's never been a terribly accurate passer. He's
Speaker 1: only been in one place, and the place the coach
Speaker 1: that had him didn't want him. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: know where a home is, but it's definitely not in
Speaker 1: New England. That's not how they roll. That's not who
Speaker 1: they are. They're not a team that goes out in
Speaker 1: science free agents. They're not a guy who get to
Speaker 1: sign a guy who's injury injury plagued the last couple
Speaker 1: of years and be able to take him or want
Speaker 1: to take him, and they're a guy there. They're an
Speaker 1: offense that is one very cerebral and two all about accuracy,
Speaker 1: and that's not what Cam Newton's about. And Cam Newton's
Speaker 1: all about Cam. He's not about team. That's not what
Speaker 1: the Patriots about. So he's not going there like that's
Speaker 1: not happening. Usually, you go somewhere where you've worked with
Speaker 1: somebody before, right where you have there's a connection there,
Speaker 1: and there just isn't with him outside of Buffalo and
Speaker 1: the Redskins, and neither want him as their quarterback. Well,
Speaker 1: and also you have to understand that Cam gets a
Speaker 1: clean bill of health from the Panthers doctors before he
Speaker 1: gets released. Right, he gets cleaned every everything is good. Okay,
Speaker 1: if I want you, I want to be able to examine,
Speaker 1: have my own doctors look at you. And that can't happen.
Speaker 1: All right, that can't happen. Who knows when that can happen.
Speaker 1: But still even though he's released, he's out there, I
Speaker 1: gotta clean the Okay. Well, you know what, if the
Speaker 1: Patriots wanted them, they'd have gone after him. If they
Speaker 1: wanted Jamis Winston, they'd have gone after him. If anybody
Speaker 1: wanted Jamis Winston, they'd have gone after him. I anybody
Speaker 1: else wanted Cam Newton, they'd have gone after him now
Speaker 1: and at least kicked the tires. But you have not
Speaker 1: heard one team hey sources, because you know his agent
Speaker 1: would leak hey sources. Cam is talking with the Bengals,
Speaker 1: Cam is talking with her camas. You're not getting that.
Speaker 1: I think right now they're in he and jamis here
Speaker 1: and wait and see what happens with the draft. Who
Speaker 1: doesn't get their targets at the draft? Like what really happens?
Speaker 1: All right? So Burrow goes one? I think Chase Young
Speaker 1: goes to what happens at three with Detroit? Do they
Speaker 1: really try and trade Stafford? I don't think so, because
Speaker 1: there's no there's no sensible home for him. Um does
Speaker 1: somebody trade up with Detroit? Who is it? Is it
Speaker 1: the Chargers? Is it the Dolphins? You know? Um? You know?
Speaker 1: Is it is it the Rates? Who decide we want to?
Speaker 1: And all this stuff has been a smoke stream that
Speaker 1: we suddenly like Derek Carr, Now, I think that's what
Speaker 1: those that's the mode those guys are in and they're
Speaker 1: just cat have to play the long game. But I'll
Speaker 1: just tell you, like, look, you start to go through
Speaker 1: team by team by team, And I'll disagree with you
Speaker 1: a little bit as far as where the Patriots are.
Speaker 1: But Cam struggles to be a backup because to backup,
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be ready to be a starter. But
Speaker 1: it's all about getting the starter ready. So you're not
Speaker 1: going to put him in a locker room a with
Speaker 1: a young guy who's not proven because his ego, his
Speaker 1: resume that that's not gonna work. Plus that's just not
Speaker 1: who he is. He's not a guy who's gonna help
Speaker 1: the other guy. You're not gonna put him with a rookie,
Speaker 1: you know, and eventually, you know, the rookie takes over,
Speaker 1: like that's not going to go. Well, So who what quarterbacked,
Speaker 1: starved team needs Cannon? Could it be the Dolphins maybe
Speaker 1: if they don't get one of their targets in the draft,
Speaker 1: But would they prefer Ryan Fitzpatrick to a Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: There's all these people like you don't like Tyrode Taylor, Like,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, Tyrod Taylor has played for Anthony Lynn
Speaker 1: before in Buffalo they went to the playoffs, and Tyrod
Speaker 1: Taylor does two things that Philip Rivers did not do,
Speaker 1: which is doesn't turn the ball over and he can move.
Speaker 1: He can't run screen past when Philip rivers, he cannot move,
Speaker 1: can't move. And is Cam Newton empirically better than Tyrod Taylor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, don't know. If he's health with his arm,
Speaker 1: don't know. He's health of his legs hasn't been there before.
Speaker 1: And Tyrod Taylor makes seven point five million dollars, they
Speaker 1: can move on from him really easily. You're not gonna
Speaker 1: get Cam Newton for that. So I think Cam Newton's
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough time finding at home. This is
Speaker 1: one of the things that happened at Colin Kaepernick. Like
Speaker 1: everybody thinks that Colin Kaepernick was out of the league
Speaker 1: simply because he was kneeling, Like, No, it's because he
Speaker 1: wanted it. He wanted to be a starter and he
Speaker 1: wasn't a starter. And to be a backup, you gotta
Speaker 1: be all about the starter. You gotta be all about
Speaker 1: somebody else. And he wanted too much money. And you know,
Speaker 1: he had no one knew how healthy he was. He
Speaker 1: had armed problems, he had leg problems. It's the same thing,
Speaker 1: only you don't have the kneeling, you know, But Cam
Speaker 1: hadn't been healthy. Here's the thing with the Patriots. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Jared Sidham can play. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you that if you look like Jared Stidham was a
Speaker 1: really highly tauted kid coming out, went to went to Baylor,
Speaker 1: then went to Auburn, as it was he grade at Auburn, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, he was Okay, he was good. They
Speaker 1: were not a very good team, but it was because
Speaker 1: their defense was terrible, not so that he was terrible.
Speaker 1: He's had a year there. Hoyer is the guy who's
Speaker 1: been that system, knows that system, kind of like he's
Speaker 1: the consummate backup type who can start in a pinch spot.
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna I agree with you. They're
Speaker 1: not trying to win the divorce. I think they're gonna
Speaker 1: try and be who the Patriots have always been. And
Speaker 1: I'm not sure there's a terrible case to be made
Speaker 1: that they couldn't be somewhere slightly less than what they
Speaker 1: were last year. Because if we would all agree that
Speaker 1: Tom Brady wasn't great, you can tell me that Tom
Speaker 1: Brady wasn't great because he didn't have great players around him. Okay,
Speaker 1: but tom Brady was still forty two years old, he
Speaker 1: wasn't great himself. Can Jared Stidham be at least that?
Speaker 1: Because remember they won on defense and special teams, trick
Speaker 1: play the first nine weeks they scored. They scored every
Speaker 1: week on defense, right, and they also had a soft
Speaker 1: some soft spots in their schedule. And we don't know
Speaker 1: what the division looks like. It looks like it should
Speaker 1: be better. Buffalo back from the playoffs, Jets when healthy
Speaker 1: should be better. And you would think Miami's better. But
Speaker 1: you know, if the league is the vision is slightly better,
Speaker 1: They're still gonna have that defense, It's still gonna run
Speaker 1: the football. They're still gonna have be coached by Josh McDaniels.
Speaker 1: And if he can figure it out, think I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think they're gonna try. They
Speaker 1: they're able to win the whole thing. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's crazy to think they can be some somewhat similar
Speaker 1: to be as competitive as they were last year, you know,
Speaker 1: because but they're not gonna go over the top to say, Okay,
Speaker 1: now Brady's gone. Now we're gonna now we're gonna bring
Speaker 1: this guy and bring this guy in. Because I'll tell
Speaker 1: you this if you if I had to put money
Speaker 1: on who the Patriots are gonna tab and say this
Speaker 1: is our quarterback of the future, yes, I would say
Speaker 1: they're gonna draft Jalen Hurts and he's going to be
Speaker 1: the guy groom like they groom Garoppolo because that's what
Speaker 1: the Patriots want to do. Let's get a young, athletic,
Speaker 1: cheap quarterback because this is the way the NFL is going.
Speaker 1: Let's make sure we get a guy that can make
Speaker 1: plays in the modern NFL, which is not just drop
Speaker 1: back and be a statue. That's kind of what every
Speaker 1: team wants, and that's the Patriots want. You have the
Speaker 1: connection of Hurts with Sabin, with Belichick. He was able
Speaker 1: to go and become a guy who at Alabama I
Speaker 1: thought was very overrated because did he make enough plays?
Speaker 1: Was he dynamic enough? I didn't see that. But then
Speaker 1: he goes to Oklahoma, you put him in that offense
Speaker 1: and suddenly, bang, Lincoln Riley's got him. Hey, he's a
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy candidate. So he really showed. Hey, I went
Speaker 1: somewhere and I learned an entirely new offense in the year,
Speaker 1: and look what I did. He's gonna be the guy
Speaker 1: the Patriots are going to identify and say he's our one,
Speaker 1: and they'll do it, just like with Garoppolo, because what
Speaker 1: did they do? Did they rush Garoppolo along? No, he
Speaker 1: waited for a long time to finally get his chance,
Speaker 1: and he played well in the four games and it
Speaker 1: was Okay, Garoppolo's our guy. That's kind of how I
Speaker 1: see this quarterback room going for the Patriots. It's going
Speaker 1: to be Stin, it's gonna be Hyer, and then it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Jalen Hurts. Is the pressure to put Hurts
Speaker 1: in gonna be immense? If Stidham throws up on himself,
Speaker 1: sure it will be. But again, as you said, that's
Speaker 1: not how the Patriots do. Thinks. But if I'm looking
Speaker 1: at their quarterback, I would like to say they jump
Speaker 1: up for two up, but they're not going to trade
Speaker 1: the draft capital go all the way up to number three,
Speaker 1: even though Matt Patricia is there, and it's a lot
Speaker 1: to give up for the Patriots. I would agree, and
Speaker 1: it would be very it would. It would not be
Speaker 1: their style, but but you know, times change. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't I mean Jalen Hurts, I don't know. Where
Speaker 1: he goes third, fourth round or whatever, maybe he gets
Speaker 1: drafted a little bit higher. Um, you know, the the
Speaker 1: the m O on him is he he has a
Speaker 1: a bag of chips on his shoulder, like he thinks
Speaker 1: the world has done him terribly wrong. And um, look,
Speaker 1: he's a he's a he is a smart football player
Speaker 1: from a football family who's played a lot of a
Speaker 1: lot of quarterback. But he still has the same issues.
Speaker 1: And I would say, when you start that much and
Speaker 1: you're a guy who holds a ball a bit too long,
Speaker 1: he has to. He's not an anticipatory thrower at all.
Speaker 1: Like I don't think he's Belichick's kind of guy, even
Speaker 1: though he's bright, which is Belichick's kind of guy. Like
Speaker 1: everybody's about anticipatory throws, seeing it before it happens, and
Speaker 1: that's not who Jalen Hurts is. He throws the guys
Speaker 1: who are wide open, or he runs a football. That's
Speaker 1: what he does. And he's not crazy accurate. So I
Speaker 1: do think the idea of getting a smart quarterback who
Speaker 1: may be lacking something, you know, that's a that's a possibility.
Speaker 1: You know, A Burrow is his type of guy. The
Speaker 1: problem is Burrow is going to go too high this year. Right,
Speaker 1: Burrow is super smart, crazy accurate, doesn't have the strongest
Speaker 1: arm in the world. But in the checklist of things
Speaker 1: that you need for starting quarterback in the NFL, that's
Speaker 1: like fourth or fifth, you need all the other things
Speaker 1: that he has great feet, and so I think that's
Speaker 1: what he'd be looking for. And I again I think
Speaker 1: we don't. We just don't know. It's because the NFL
Speaker 1: works in a different, the opposite fashion of the NBA.
Speaker 1: The NBA as the draft than he has free agency.
Speaker 1: The NFL is agency. Then they have the draft, and
Speaker 1: as we've seen before, some teams even what they do
Speaker 1: in free agency doesn't matter if if the right guy
Speaker 1: becomes available. Philadelphia, remember they had Sam Bradford, they overpaid
Speaker 1: for him. They saw Carson Wentz is available, they jump
Speaker 1: up get Carson Wentz. We saw the same thing with
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears, right, they get Mike Glennon and then
Speaker 1: they trade up and they get Mitch Mitchell Trubisky. We
Speaker 1: saw it with the Cardinals two years ago. They had
Speaker 1: two had Sam Bradford, and they end up getting Josh Rosen,
Speaker 1: trade up to get Josh Rosen and then part ways
Speaker 1: with Josh Rosen, So I think there's it. It goes
Speaker 1: in waves. I think the Patriots is set. They may
Speaker 1: take a guy second or third day. But I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody who's gonna I would agree with you or
Speaker 1: not anybody who's gonna get in that quarterback room and
Speaker 1: starter played this year. But I don't think Hurts is
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I don't think Hurts is the
Speaker 1: guy twitter at How about a Fresca Doug at Gottlieb Show,
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Dan.
Speaker 1: That's we'll see what Jeff Schwartz have to say, former
Speaker 1: NFL ol serious XM NFL college football analysts has to say.
Speaker 1: Is there a home for Jamis Winston? Is there a
Speaker 1: right fit for Cam Newton? All that more coming up next,
Speaker 1: Keep it right here, Happy Monday, Fox Sports Radio. Be
Speaker 1: sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP Fox Sports Radio
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show, Dan the Dane's a planned week off.
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in for them today and we
Speaker 1: talked about the Patriots and what they're likely going to
Speaker 1: do at quarterback this season a few minutes ago, and
Speaker 1: now we get this story that maybe Tom Brady was
Speaker 1: his best friend of himself during free agency. Jason light
Speaker 1: Gm of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers went on ESPN early
Speaker 1: this morning and said that on the first day of
Speaker 1: free agency, Tom Brady was actually the one selling them
Speaker 1: on why should go to Tampa Bay. Prior to that time,
Speaker 1: during the legal tampering period, teams only able to talk
Speaker 1: to player agents get a feel for interest, but Brady
Speaker 1: was the one who talked to them and pitched himself
Speaker 1: on joining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, being the narrative of
Speaker 1: there was one team I wanted, and this is the
Speaker 1: team I want to see. This is what Notre Dame
Speaker 1: always used to do. There was always when they would
Speaker 1: pick a head coach. It was always all right, they
Speaker 1: had all these names, but you would hear one name
Speaker 1: and then that turned out to be the head coach.
Speaker 1: Sources say. The Notre Dame is talking with Brian Kelly,
Speaker 1: sources say, and then that would wind up being the coach.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a bit of well, we
Speaker 1: want everybody to know that Tom could have gone anywhere,
Speaker 1: but he picked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when maybe that
Speaker 1: robust market for Brady wasn't quite what they thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be and what he thought it was
Speaker 1: going to be going into the draft, well, going into
Speaker 1: free agency. I've talked to a couple of people who
Speaker 1: were around kind of this process, and I think everybody
Speaker 1: was like Tampa, like Tampa just didn't doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: like Tom Brady's regal doesn't feel like it. I think
Speaker 1: the Miami thing was real just because that's where his
Speaker 1: wife wants to be, where they you know, he has
Speaker 1: another child who's in New York. New York is going
Speaker 1: to be home New Yorker's home. That's why they bought
Speaker 1: that house in Greenwich, and this is that even though
Speaker 1: and I think he kind of did the same thing
Speaker 1: when he talked to the Chargers, was like that was
Speaker 1: how he preferred. You know, he really invested in the process,
Speaker 1: knowing everybody involved and making everybody feel like he wants
Speaker 1: to play for them. And ultimately Tampa was the decision,
Speaker 1: but I think it was I think Miami was, in
Speaker 1: terms of destination, the one he wanted to go to.
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers probably had the best personnel and
Speaker 1: the best market, and I think Tampa hit everything other
Speaker 1: than market, and it's close enough in terms of location.
Speaker 1: I think that was really the thinking. Short flight to
Speaker 1: New York. Joining us now on the hot line. Jeff Schwartz,
Speaker 1: former NFL offensive lineman, Serious XM NFL college football analyst, Jeff,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show Man. How you doing? I am fantastic.
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing today? Good? Hey? Before are
Speaker 1: you get into Brady? You know what? What's how are
Speaker 1: you doing? What's your life been like the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks? How are you getting by day to day? Um?
Speaker 1: I learned I need to buy a new backboard from
Speaker 1: my house. I learned that it's not good enough for
Speaker 1: for GOLLI over there the backboard to half of my house.
Speaker 1: Otherwise I've been um, I don't know. I mean, look,
Speaker 1: NFL is still happening, so I've had work, um, and
Speaker 1: the kids are at home and the wife's a nurse.
Speaker 1: She's not the hospital for now, so she hasn't had
Speaker 1: to go in and do that, but just it's been
Speaker 1: hectic on her side. But otherwise, look, we're getting by
Speaker 1: him and nothing you can do about it. So just
Speaker 1: trying to make the best of it. Right, here's the
Speaker 1: backboard discussion. So Schwartz is tweeting stuff and about his
Speaker 1: hoop and um, and he's got some He's building this
Speaker 1: beautiful pool in Charlotte, and they you know, they had
Speaker 1: there's some pool side stuff where the pools being installed.
Speaker 1: But it didn't stop his wife from I think, laying
Speaker 1: out and and enjoying a beautiful spring day in the Carolinas.
Speaker 1: So he's he's putting I don't know what he's putting,
Speaker 1: you know, round my neck of the woods. You put
Speaker 1: in a pool like that, you're getting into six figures.
Speaker 1: So right, so it's now he's got some many six figures. Okay.
Speaker 1: So meanwhile his hoop is like the small backboard. It's
Speaker 1: got the ceramic, a ceramic backboard. It's probably eight feet high.
Speaker 1: It looks like probably eight six maybe nine feet anyway,
Speaker 1: it just like it's the topest tense, the very topest
Speaker 1: tene Okay, the backboard. And the point is this, if
Speaker 1: I need you put you in touch with the Gorilla
Speaker 1: guys or somebody you know the the I think it's
Speaker 1: Garrett gare E d Right. If if I need to
Speaker 1: put you in touch with a basketball hoop. You can't
Speaker 1: pull up to a professional athlete's house, a beautiful home,
Speaker 1: beautiful decor, brand new pull out back and have some
Speaker 1: Yankee synthetic backboard that looks like you picked it up
Speaker 1: off of the Facebook market place and just stuck it
Speaker 1: out front. You can't do that, shorts. This sporting Goods
Speaker 1: um is where I picked it up for me. Yes.
Speaker 1: If you want to put me in touch with someone, though,
Speaker 1: get me a real You could go to Dicks. You
Speaker 1: got to Dick Sporting Goods. They have the real backboard.
Speaker 1: You went, did you went to? Which one is on sale?
Speaker 1: What's the least I can pay to make it look
Speaker 1: like I have a basketball hoop out front? Yes? Because
Speaker 1: for my son most way, Yeah, and at his age
Speaker 1: at five, I don't think he cares very much what
Speaker 1: the what the material of a backboard is. Well, here's
Speaker 1: the thing though, On a synthetic backboard, you could throw
Speaker 1: fire a basketball out of a cannon. If it hits
Speaker 1: the backboard, it's going into the hoop, right because that's
Speaker 1: it just deadens it completely right through. Right. I understand
Speaker 1: that you need to be able to lower it you know,
Speaker 1: you don't want him shooting on ten feet till he's
Speaker 1: like fifth or sixth grade for form, but you need
Speaker 1: to invest. You know, every little Jewish kid in Carolina
Speaker 1: is gonna want to grow up and be a basketball player.
Speaker 1: You got to get him a better hoop than them,
Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, Um, okay, So here's my my Cam
Speaker 1: Newton thing is I just I don't think people understand
Speaker 1: truly how the business works. Between how much money and
Speaker 1: how many years he's probably gonna want the fact that
Speaker 1: he's not really wired to be a backup, and some
Speaker 1: teams are investing their young player or they don't want
Speaker 1: to bring in somebody like him to sit behind, nor
Speaker 1: does he want to come in and said he wants
Speaker 1: to start, and there's just not that many jobs out there.
Speaker 1: And then you go along with nobody knows how healthy
Speaker 1: he is, so what, and he hasn't played for another team,
Speaker 1: so we don't know how he'll do in a new offense.
Speaker 1: All those are valid, and I think that's the reason
Speaker 1: why he's not signed. They're each a piece of the
Speaker 1: reason why he number one. As you mentioned the house
Speaker 1: in the middle of that look, he seems healthy on Instagram, right,
Speaker 1: and he's posting videos of throwing. He had a physical
Speaker 1: and alma, but to see what those physicals is that
Speaker 1: because he's been so hurt. Remember, he's basically been hurt
Speaker 1: for a year and a half of football time almost
Speaker 1: almost almost two years now and kind of a real time.
Speaker 1: But you know, the team that signs him is gonna
Speaker 1: want their own hands on him, right They're gonna want
Speaker 1: their own doctors, their own scans, their own trainers to
Speaker 1: look at him and make sure he's healthy. And you
Speaker 1: just can't do that right now. So even though he
Speaker 1: passed the physical in Atlanta, that that's not like it's
Speaker 1: not a Chargers team doctor, right. So that's a big
Speaker 1: part of this as well. And I think the part
Speaker 1: you mentioned that it's probably even more important is there's
Speaker 1: just not a lot of places to go right now
Speaker 1: to be the starter. Because even even the Polis almost
Speaker 1: called San Diego again, um, you could you could see
Speaker 1: them roll out Tyrod Taylor, who has played for that
Speaker 1: coach before, UM and draft the tackle at sixth which
Speaker 1: a great year for a left tackle, and the draft
Speaker 1: a quarterback next year because they have a you know,
Speaker 1: everyone else everything else is sept there they're offen to
Speaker 1: why they've they've redone, they added to pieces on defense.
Speaker 1: They have to sign Hunter hundreds to a long term
Speaker 1: contract and you don't need him this year. So there's
Speaker 1: just not a lot of offense for him. It's your
Speaker 1: point of get being a backup as Yes, I do
Speaker 1: not see him as being the backup now. There's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with not wanting to be a mentor. You've seen
Speaker 1: many veteran quarterbacks Slacko, Big ben Eli say look, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna be a mentor, and I get it. There's
Speaker 1: there's nothing about uh, you know, there's nothing. He says,
Speaker 1: you have to mentor young guy and Cam, but I
Speaker 1: doesn't want to do that. So there's just not a
Speaker 1: lot of choices for him right now. Jeff Better odds
Speaker 1: he's in the NFL or not in the NFL this season. Oh,
Speaker 1: he'll be in the NFL because I think a couple
Speaker 1: of things will happen. But it's tough because the timeline
Speaker 1: is so different now without obvious in program is you
Speaker 1: know there'll be a team and who misses on their
Speaker 1: quarterback in the draft. Somebody I don't. I don't. It
Speaker 1: might be it might be LA, and the LA might say,
Speaker 1: look we want to get Justin Herbert. We want to Uh,
Speaker 1: those guys are unavailable. He goes to the draft. Okay,
Speaker 1: we signed Cam Doune or or someone else, you know
Speaker 1: in Miami. Let's say they stick at five. You know,
Speaker 1: for some reason, all the quarterbacks there's a bunch of
Speaker 1: trades up and two on Herbert are gone. Um and
Speaker 1: they said, look we're gonna sign Cam Dudon. So there's
Speaker 1: there's a there's a possibility that this can happen after
Speaker 1: the draft. Do you wait and see if if you're
Speaker 1: a team and I don't think he fits in New England,
Speaker 1: but Newingland might say, look we we you know, the
Speaker 1: price was too steep for for Dalton. We we didn't
Speaker 1: draft the quarterback in the first round. Cam's our guy.
Speaker 1: I think after the draft will see some movement on
Speaker 1: Cam Newton Um where teams who miss out the guy
Speaker 1: they want in the draft look at the Fraser markets. Hey,
Speaker 1: look we have Cam, we probably have Dalton, we have Winston.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find Cam. So I think I think after
Speaker 1: the draft is where you see him. So he's not
Speaker 1: gonna miss the season. That that's a posters. He's too
Speaker 1: good to miss this. He's better than a lot of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are starting right now. Name him. Well, I saw
Speaker 1: someone Terry talk about the Bill should sign him to
Speaker 1: be a backup for Josh Allen. He's better than Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: No he's not. No, he's gonna stop stop that. Stop that.
Speaker 1: No he's not. No, he's not left Cam Newton. Which one?
Speaker 1: I look, look which one? We're assuming he's healthy. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: listen here here's the point. If if who's the head coach,
Speaker 1: who's the head coach McDermott. Okay, where's McDermott before he
Speaker 1: was before he was in Buffalo Carolina? Okay? Do you
Speaker 1: think for one second if he thought I can get
Speaker 1: a better quarterback by the way I took him to
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? I know he did. How many years
Speaker 1: ago was that? Oh? What how many years ago is that? Well,
Speaker 1: that was five years ago. Now it's five years. Everything
Speaker 1: changes in five years, it does. But five years ago
Speaker 1: he hasn't been good. He was good for a little bit.
Speaker 1: Two years later since he was really good. He was
Speaker 1: really good the first half of twenty eighteen, by the way,
Speaker 1: highest completion percentage his career team was six and two.
Speaker 1: He's playing really well before he got hurt. And that's
Speaker 1: what you look at. You say, Look is if you
Speaker 1: get a healthy Cam Newte, are you going to get
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Cam? And we can pretty sixty seven percent
Speaker 1: of his passes he had, you know, fifteen touchdowns, He
Speaker 1: ran the ball well, he moved the offense, women of turnovers.
Speaker 1: Are you getting that guy? Or you can injure Cam? Dude,
Speaker 1: If if you think you're getting the healthy guy he's
Speaker 1: better than Josh Allen, you're kidding me. Josh Allen was
Speaker 1: awful last year. Josh Allen to the playoffs las year, Jinny, Oh,
Speaker 1: he's actually he's actually very they're actually very similar. They
Speaker 1: both had big arms, they're both inaccurate, and one can run.
Speaker 1: And the one who can run is not named Cam Newton.
Speaker 1: He doesn't run anymore. He just doesn't. He just doesn't.
Speaker 1: And and it is it fair? Is it fair to wonder?
Speaker 1: And look, I'm not sold on Josh Allen being great
Speaker 1: or that he'll ever be at the level that Cam
Speaker 1: Newton was five years ago. But we're not talking about
Speaker 1: five years ago. We're talking about Cam Newton off of
Speaker 1: a shoulder surgery where he looked like he could not
Speaker 1: throw a football and off and he doesn't run anymore.
Speaker 1: It's it's you your you're It's it's like people. He's
Speaker 1: not the same guy. He's just not. And Josh Allen
Speaker 1: is in the part of his career you would expect
Speaker 1: him to continue to grow and mature. He improved from
Speaker 1: year one to year two? Did you not? He did.
Speaker 1: But data has shown that if you're below replacement, which
Speaker 1: he was for the last two years, if you start
Speaker 1: your career with your first two season starting below replacement,
Speaker 1: there's one guy I think in the last twenty five
Speaker 1: years that has started that way and become even an
Speaker 1: average starter. That was Al Smith in San Francisco, who
Speaker 1: didn't become really good obviously last year, you know, with Harbaugh,
Speaker 1: and then became really good with Kansas City. So, um,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't sign Cam Newton to start over Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: You asked me who was better than I saw that.
Speaker 1: This morning someone said, well, the Cam to be a
Speaker 1: backup to Kam, what are you talking about? I don't
Speaker 1: know if he would. And then of course there's the
Speaker 1: financial issues to it. And I also think that a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't think he's the same. He's not
Speaker 1: the same guy. He's just not the same cat. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: because injuries is an actual concern. That's why I think
Speaker 1: the hold of this because he can't get a physical
Speaker 1: on me. And I know again I understand the idea
Speaker 1: that he got one already to lant it. But again
Speaker 1: I wasn't a Charger's team doctor. Doctor. They're gonna want
Speaker 1: to see him. Jeff Schwartz our guest that Dan Patrick, show,
Speaker 1: Jason Smith, Doug gottlie Ben for Dan and the Danette.
Speaker 1: You can follow Jeff on Twitter at Jeff Schwartz, That
Speaker 1: is at Jeff Schwartz or the other part of this domino.
Speaker 1: We talked about him a couple minutes ago. Again is
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston who has been sitting out there. And look,
Speaker 1: I know that we try to keep making Jamis Winston
Speaker 1: and the Patriots happened because it would be a great storyline.
Speaker 1: Oh what's the what's the best fit for Jamis Winston?
Speaker 1: The guy can make plays, but he gives the ball
Speaker 1: the other team way too much. Yeah, he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to be I think he's gonna have to be a
Speaker 1: backup for a year. M I just I can't see
Speaker 1: a team and he's asking someone who turns a bowl
Speaker 1: over so much and not to me feels like the
Speaker 1: big this issue and even but last year it's thirty
Speaker 1: years options. Obviously, if you look at his career, he
Speaker 1: average about sixteen year seven of the team before that,
Speaker 1: so he's not going to do this again next season.
Speaker 1: But how do you trust them? And so I think
Speaker 1: you look at a couple of places, like if you
Speaker 1: with the Pittsburgh I know people have found it out there.
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh would kind of be interested because you know big
Speaker 1: Ben is getting up in his career, he's getting older.
Speaker 1: Obviously got hurt last year. It feels like a place
Speaker 1: where James can go be a backup and eventually fill
Speaker 1: in for for big benefit gets hurt or maybe even
Speaker 1: next year, it's kind of a year to rehab. It's
Speaker 1: a lot like the Ryan Tannell situation, where you know
Speaker 1: you you you become a backup, you get in for
Speaker 1: whatever reason. Obviously Big Ben will be bench for performance
Speaker 1: reasons and then you just have a great second half
Speaker 1: of the season and someone signs you again to be
Speaker 1: the starter. Old you stay with your same teams. I
Speaker 1: think he needs one of those seasons where he finds
Speaker 1: a good backup situation and then you know, becomes a
Speaker 1: starter in a couple of years. I just I can't
Speaker 1: see a team, especially with the options in the draft.
Speaker 1: You got to figure you know, least five guys, four
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the in the first round. Um, I can't see.
Speaker 1: I just can't see it. Doug Goli Jason Smith in
Speaker 1: for Dan the Danette said, Jeff works our guest, longtime
Speaker 1: NFL lineman. Um, okay, this is an honest question I have.
Speaker 1: How are linemen guys that do what your brother does
Speaker 1: well and you did, Okay, kidding of course, m Jeff knows,
Speaker 1: Jeff knows, I'm messed with him. Um. I mean his
Speaker 1: brother Mitchell is like an all pro. So yes, okay,
Speaker 1: So how do those how does this affect them? Like,
Speaker 1: I know there's these speakeasy gyms, right like not three
Speaker 1: times you can come in, But I would I would
Speaker 1: guess that these giant men who you know, look, you
Speaker 1: gotta keep the body weight on, but you also have
Speaker 1: to keep your strength up. Like, how how is this
Speaker 1: going to affect the NFL if they can't get into
Speaker 1: their facilities for a month? And a half two more months. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have a friend was operating one of those, not
Speaker 1: three times and gyms right now. You know, I think
Speaker 1: a couple of things are a fact. One is that
Speaker 1: if you are quote unquote rehabbing, you actually are allowed
Speaker 1: to be the facility working out. So I don't I
Speaker 1: don't know if a lot how many guys are using
Speaker 1: taking advantage of that. I don't know if it has
Speaker 1: to be a documented offseason injury or how you can
Speaker 1: get in the facility so there's there's a possibility you
Speaker 1: can still go in and work out. But I think
Speaker 1: this is the biggest issue with returning to football all time,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is not so you know, so much
Speaker 1: the virus itself. It's that guys can't train right now.
Speaker 1: And it wouldn't worry me until I know that it's
Speaker 1: April thirtieth, now is the day where nationally we said, hey,
Speaker 1: we're gonna set this one out. If things thought reopen
Speaker 1: by then, it would kind of get me worried that
Speaker 1: guys can't get in shape enough to get ready to
Speaker 1: start the season because the reason why and you guys know,
Speaker 1: there's no surprise. The reason why you work out is
Speaker 1: obviously to be in shape, but it helps prevent injuries.
Speaker 1: If you're in shape, you can help with an injuries.
Speaker 1: And football is a very physical game. If you can't
Speaker 1: work out, you can't build up that muscle and that
Speaker 1: strength and you're used to exploading, then you can't play football.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get hurt. And you know, we went through
Speaker 1: no offseason in twenty eleven, but we worked out. It
Speaker 1: was the jims were open, it wasn't. It's just a walkout.
Speaker 1: So that's my biggest concern. It's not that we won't
Speaker 1: start on time because we have too many six people.
Speaker 1: It's we won't start in time because guys won't be
Speaker 1: ready to play because their bodies have not worked out enough.
Speaker 1: They're not in shape. And that's what worries me more
Speaker 1: than anything else. And so I think you're spot on there.
Speaker 1: That is a concern. I don't know how My brother,
Speaker 1: for example, would probably be starting to work out now.
Speaker 1: Obviously they play an extra five weeks, but he can't.
Speaker 1: No one can work out, So that is a legit
Speaker 1: concern for both the college side and the NFL side.
Speaker 1: Eight years in the NFL's an offensive lineman. Check them
Speaker 1: out on serious x M, NFL and college football analysts,
Speaker 1: and if you have a line on a really good
Speaker 1: backboard and hoop for his backyard, hit him up on
Speaker 1: Twitter at Jeff Schwartz. That is at Jeff Schwartz. Jeff
Speaker 1: as always. Man, appreciate your time. Man, We'll talk to
Speaker 1: you soon. All right, guys, it's all that investing in
Speaker 1: resources right now, that's right. I mean it put all
Speaker 1: the money in the pool. Can't give me a swimmer.
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you can get spits and stuff,
Speaker 1: but you know, if you want to kid to be
Speaker 1: a hoop or an athlete or just it's just a look, right,
Speaker 1: certain look your house has to have Yeah, well, if
Speaker 1: you're rich, you have to have a pool. Well he's
Speaker 1: he's got a beautiful home. Like beautiful home if you
Speaker 1: look on social media and they just got a hoop
Speaker 1: out front, Like come on man, yeah, look, but the
Speaker 1: people are gonna go there. They're not gonna go there
Speaker 1: to play basketball. They're gonna go there. Hey what's the pool, Like, Oh,
Speaker 1: well the pool, let's go to that house for the
Speaker 1: pool's amazing pools, A big drawing car. You need the
Speaker 1: hoop too, though, you know, I mean not everybody can
Speaker 1: say I'll play dunkball on it, hang on it. You
Speaker 1: need to need the real deal, most glass backboard. Most
Speaker 1: people I could say, hey, I want to go to
Speaker 1: that house for the pool. I mean it's your host.
Speaker 1: I would say, hey, I could go and play basketball
Speaker 1: with Gottlieb. I mean that that's a little bit different. Well,
Speaker 1: you need That's that's the draw. I'm just saying, you
Speaker 1: need the whole thing. You don't go halfway. Don't cut corners, right,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't want to cut corners. I saw that the
Speaker 1: pool has a has a smile like a hot tub
Speaker 1: in it, right, Yeah, Like you wouldn't put a pool
Speaker 1: in without a hot tub. You wouldn't put a pool
Speaker 1: that you couldn't heat in. Well, why are you put
Speaker 1: a basketball hoop in? When it's a jankie basketball hoop?

Speaker 1: Jeff schwar joined a few minutes ago talking all big
Speaker 1: things of the National Football League, what's next for Cam Newton,
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and getting a new backboard for his home
Speaker 1: But this story is out now, kind of piggybacking on
Speaker 1: the Kirk herb Street report from a few days ago
Speaker 1: that he'd be surprised if there was a college football
Speaker 1: season notice how there has been no follow up from
Speaker 1: ESPN on that story. He knows that Herbie, Herbie says it,
Speaker 1: and then suddenly yeah, no, no no, no, there's no no, no no, no,
Speaker 1: We're we're kind of shutting that down. We're not going
Speaker 1: forward with that with that opinion, as much as you
Speaker 1: would think they would go forward with anything that's going
Speaker 1: to get them clicks, like anybody does obviously, but I
Speaker 1: was really surprised that he says that, and the lack
Speaker 1: of doubling down or interviews that he has done, or
Speaker 1: things that have been done to publicize that after it
Speaker 1: got such a hot reception kind of surprised me the
Speaker 1: past few days. Yeah, I would say, my guest, it's
Speaker 1: just a guess, okay, and I don't know. My guess
Speaker 1: is that Herbie's been on conference calls, um and that's
Speaker 1: probably been thrown out there. You know. It's it's a
Speaker 1: lot like like Look, I think I think President Trump,
Speaker 1: I think he wanted to reopen everything on Easter. I
Speaker 1: think legitimately one, I think he wanted to stimulate the markets,
Speaker 1: you know, by saying something like that, and of course
Speaker 1: the market reacted positively after he said it. Going back
Speaker 1: to I think it was last Friday. Um, but I'm
Speaker 1: I'm guessing. I mean, I don't think he came up
Speaker 1: with that on his own. It was, hey, well, let's
Speaker 1: let's shoot for Easter. And I think there's equal sides
Speaker 1: of the let's get this thing started as quickly as possible,
Speaker 1: and let's also operate under the possible caution of a
Speaker 1: second wave coming, which is what what we're being warned of.
Speaker 1: Um Or that was just optimism of hey, let's let's
Speaker 1: look to open it on Easter. Hey, he gives people
Speaker 1: something look forward to. Maybe we can if we can,
Speaker 1: all right, because they already pushed it to May fifth. Now, yeah,
Speaker 1: I just I thought it was April thirtieth. I was
Speaker 1: pushed too, as it was April thirtieth. Yes, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: School was pushed to May. That was well obviously in
Speaker 1: our lives. My daughter's school now is pushed to at
Speaker 1: least May fifth, So that's that date in Might. But
Speaker 1: April thirtieth. Ye. So I look at it, and I
Speaker 1: think I think Herbert's just being you know, he heard
Speaker 1: it and he's like, I don't. And the college coaches
Speaker 1: they're not able to have spring, they're not able to
Speaker 1: have their kids train. I don't. I don't believe that
Speaker 1: there is the same seeing as Jeff Schwarz pointed out,
Speaker 1: and it's true, you can have one trainer and one
Speaker 1: guy there if you're rehabbing in the pros, I don't.
Speaker 1: The problem with college campuses are that they're not people
Speaker 1: aren't allowed in their facility. No one's allowed in their facility.
Speaker 1: I don't know about players quote unquote rehabbing, but you're
Speaker 1: so you're gonna lose months upon months of training. You're
Speaker 1: talking about three months of training, and how do you
Speaker 1: do it with the hours that you can have in
Speaker 1: the summer? What are you able to do? Football wives,
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to. I believe we'll have a full
Speaker 1: football season college and pro. I don't think it'll be
Speaker 1: affected all that much. Again, I just think there's too
Speaker 1: much money at play, like we cannot shut down our
Speaker 1: economy for that long. But I do think that people
Speaker 1: are planning for a worst case scenario. If this thing
Speaker 1: goes really, really, really bad and people don't don't don't
Speaker 1: take the advice that's being given to them, and then
Speaker 1: you have to then you have to cancel stuff. You know,
Speaker 1: you got pro football talks Mike Florio, who had a
Speaker 1: big bombshell that he did in his mail bag earlier
Speaker 1: this morning, saying that it's possible for the NFL games
Speaker 1: will be played in empty stadiums, Possible some teams won't
Speaker 1: be able to play in their home markets. It's possible
Speaker 1: that no games will be played at all. I would say,
Speaker 1: of all the things that are on the table right now,
Speaker 1: first of all, I think it's way too early to
Speaker 1: look and say, Okay, we're not going to have football
Speaker 1: all right, Hang on a second. We're talking about the
Speaker 1: second week of this. It's March. We have the draft
Speaker 1: is still a little bit less than a month away.
Speaker 1: Players take most of the month to June. You end
Speaker 1: of June into July. Off. Anyway, I think it's really
Speaker 1: premature to say we're not going to have it. But
Speaker 1: could I see a scenario in which some of the
Speaker 1: cities that are hardest hit by coronavirus be it very
Speaker 1: difficult for them to want to play games there? Like,
Speaker 1: could I see New York teams playing in a different
Speaker 1: stadiums because New York is such a hot zone right
Speaker 1: now for it. Could I see them saying, you know what,
Speaker 1: we still can't have large gatherings if they if they
Speaker 1: continue to be hit as hard as I could see that,
Speaker 1: I could see some teams having to move to less
Speaker 1: hot zones. That that's about as far as I'll go
Speaker 1: as to, you know, big changes for the NFL right now,
Speaker 1: because I just think it's way too early. But I
Speaker 1: could see that if you're talking about two or three
Speaker 1: cities where boy, it's really not safe. Could look New
Speaker 1: York every day is because everybody lives on top of
Speaker 1: one another. It's it's it's such a difficult it's such
Speaker 1: a big place that is lends itself to being a
Speaker 1: hot spot. I could see that. I could see, you
Speaker 1: know what, Jets and Giants have to go play someplace
Speaker 1: else for this year. You know, we have to figure
Speaker 1: something out and they're gonna play in Buffalo, or they're
Speaker 1: gonna play in Washington, wherever they're gonna do it. That's
Speaker 1: where they're gonna have to play their home games. It's
Speaker 1: gonna suck, But that's the one thing I can see
Speaker 1: right now being feasible in the fall. If you told
Speaker 1: me that was a case, I could say, all right,
Speaker 1: I could see that for a couple of teams. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I look again, I'm ever the optimist. I do think
Speaker 1: that whether it's the malaria drugs working or all the
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars you pumped into research to
Speaker 1: find a cure for this thing. Um, I tend to
Speaker 1: believe that we'll we'll get a handle on it. But
Speaker 1: you know what this is. This is this is very
Speaker 1: similar if you live in a coastal community in the
Speaker 1: east coast. This is like a hurricane where you're like,
Speaker 1: all right, there's a big one that's just now reaching
Speaker 1: about to reach the shore. And if it turns and
Speaker 1: at the very wrong moment, and it's the what are they?
Speaker 1: What are they grade them? I forget with the grade
Speaker 1: that you know, it's a category category, the category five
Speaker 1: like this is worst. We got a plan for worst
Speaker 1: case scenarios. Um. And you know which you which you
Speaker 1: don't want, is you know, it to turn on you
Speaker 1: and it to get again. I I'm hoping this thing
Speaker 1: swipes us and there's obviously there's been some damage in
Speaker 1: lives lost. You just hope it's minimal. Um. But I look,
Speaker 1: that's that's the smart approach. Anything that's that, by the way,
Speaker 1: is what Lebron James should have said, anything's on the table.
Speaker 1: They wants to play an empty gym, play an empty gym.
Speaker 1: They wants to sit, We'll sit. They want us to wait,
Speaker 1: We'll wait. I'm here, I'm here, I'm ready. I'll continue
Speaker 1: to train, raise my family. It's like, that's really all
Speaker 1: you can say, because otherwise, being the guy who called it,
Speaker 1: you look like Trump, like hey, easter, like you know,
Speaker 1: not even close to easter, right, or being the guy
Speaker 1: if you're a herbie, We're not gonna have football this year.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have football this year. I tend to believe
Speaker 1: we'll be okay. It's just the feeling like we're not
Speaker 1: okay because we're just people who doesn't struggle to be told,
Speaker 1: not just what you can do, what you can't do right, Like,
Speaker 1: that's just not who we are as people. No, we're
Speaker 1: used to doing whatever we want to yes, and it's
Speaker 1: it's tough. That's it's tougher than it should be for us.
Speaker 1: Right now. It should be easier to sit at home
Speaker 1: and okay, don't go out or go out when you
Speaker 1: need to get groceries, come back, sit at home, enjoy
Speaker 1: your family, be safe, practice social distancing. Go out and
Speaker 1: talk to your neighbors. That should be an easy thing
Speaker 1: to do, but I'm surprised it's not as easy as
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be. It turns out your
Speaker 1: neighbors are not that fun. Turns out your kids kind
Speaker 1: of annoying. Wow, look at you, Gottlieb missingthrope. I'll say this.
Speaker 1: I'll say that I do think teachers are going to
Speaker 1: go back in and ask for a raise and probably
Speaker 1: get it right. Like who's like, oh man, I can't
Speaker 1: do that. On the other hand, what kids gonna want
Speaker 1: to go back to school when they've been popping up
Speaker 1: their laptop and doing school in their jammies? Yeah, twitter
Speaker 1: At how about a Fresca doug at Gottlieb show. Coming
Speaker 1: up next, we'll get into what Lebron James had to say,
Speaker 1: as well as other ideas the NBA has to keep
Speaker 1: the season going Fox. Be sure to catch the live
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am
