Someone pointed out 8 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: that the path to a title for lebron James, if 9 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 1: he wins, will be the easiest in NBA history.

Lakers fell behind early to the Heat, 18 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: down thirteen first quarter. All Twitter was loving this, here 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: we go, surprise, surprise, and then there was a ten 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 1: minute window where it all just went away. They were 21 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: down thirteen at one point, where up by thirty, and 22 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: the final score nowhere indicative of just how dominating the 23 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: Lakers were last night. It wasn't pretty for the Heat. 24 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: It was a statement when, as we like to say 25 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: in this business and the heat, they already faced a 26 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: serious challenge to stay competitive in this series. Big underdogs here. 27 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: We saw a young team with a lot of confidence 28 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: as they went through the Eastern Conference playoffs. But the 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: Lakers hit him and knocked him down, didn't allow him 30 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: to get back up. Gore and Dragitch got injured last night. 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: Bam Autobio got injured last night. Jimmy Butler got injured 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: last night. Even if they're healthy, this is Yeoman's work 33 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: to try to make this competitive. This year's playoffs have 34 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: been unpredictable, so I don't want to jump to a 35 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: conclusion right now, but it's hard to feel confident that 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: the series is going to be a six or seven 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: game series. The Lakers look great last night, and I've 38 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: said before throughout the playoffs, if Anthony Davis is the 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: best player on the floor, the Lakers will win the 40 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 1: title no matter who they're facing. He was the best 41 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: player on the floor last night. If you have the 42 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: Laker team that's great in the paint as far as scoring, 43 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're shooting forty percent from 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: three point range. Miami Heat don't have an answer for that, 45 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: and we expect the Heat to shoot well from three 46 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: point range. But if Druga is slowed or can't play, 47 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: let's a significant loss because he is a mismatch for 48 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,800 Speaker 1: the Lakers to try to stop. And you saw that 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: early last night. But bam Adebayo the X rays on 50 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,239 Speaker 1: his shoulder were negative, and then Jimmy Butler got banged 51 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: up as well. This program has brought to you by 52 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 1: the great folks at Home Depot. How doers get more done? Today? 53 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: Pros have to do whatever it takes. The Home Depot 54 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: is here to help you make it easier. They've got 55 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: delivery options to get you what you need exactly where 56 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: you need it. Can keep doing whatever it is to 57 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: get the job done. The Home Depot, How doers get 58 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: more done? I am curious about this watching Twitter's reaction 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: last night when the Heat were up by thirteen. If 60 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: you're rooting, are you rooting for the Miami Heat or 61 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 1: are you rooting against Lebron James? And if So why 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: I understand if you're rooting for the Heat, great Cinderella story, 63 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: but to root against Lebron James, I'm just curious about 64 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: the vitriol. I don't know if you dislike him because 65 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: it's him or the coverage of him, but he has 66 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: nothing to do with the coverage. And yes, Lebron is 67 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: the face of the NBA, like it or not on 68 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: the court, off the court. But I saw this with 69 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: NBC Sports Dan Feldman. He argues the Lakers have had 70 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: the easiest road in NBA history to get to the finals, 71 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: not including themselves. The Lakers avoided the top five teams. 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: The Bucks, Celtics, Clippers, Raptors, and Mavericks all had better 73 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: margins game in the playoffs. Okay, so if Lebron gets 74 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: to the finals in the East way, he didn't have 75 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: to go through anybody. Now he goes to the West, 76 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: he gets to the finals, didn't have to go through anybody. 77 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: He can't win, even when he's winning, But get ready 78 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: for it, because that's what's going to happen. That'll be 79 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: the turn, you know, the twist on this. Yeah, but 80 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: he didn't really beat anybody. Yeah, but that Clipper team 81 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: wasn't that good. You know, I still go back to 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: when the Bulls beat the Lakers and Magic Johnson was 83 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,840 Speaker 1: out there on one leg. I didn't hear anybody say yeah, 84 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: but they beat a wounded, depleted Laker team. Nobody said bad. 85 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: But let's see if Lebron can win three more games 86 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: against the Miami Heat. I'm sure he'll take this. If 87 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: this is the consolation prize, Hey, you want a title, 88 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: but you didn't really beat anybody. I'm sure he'll still 89 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: take that. But I'm just I am surprised, and I 90 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: know I'm a Lebron apologist. I say that, I think 91 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: you're seeing one of the two or three greatest players 92 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: to ever play the game to do what he's doing 93 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: at this age, having two full seasons of playoff games 94 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: and he's still one of the top five seven players 95 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: in the game. You know, this is one of those 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: where when he's gone, people are going to look back 97 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: and go, you know, on second man, he was pretty good. 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,679 Speaker 1: I remember doing this when John McEnroe would face Bjorn 99 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 1: Borg at Wimbledon, and I hated bjorn Borg because he 100 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: was better than John McEnroe. It had nothing to do 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: with bjorn Borg it was just I wanted McEnroe to win. 102 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: There are other teams and other players where like I 103 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: hated the Celtics because they always beat Jerry West, and 104 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 1: the Lakers had nothing to do with the Celtics. And 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,719 Speaker 1: it just feels like we don't want Lebron James entering 106 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: into a conversation that has to do with the greatest 107 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: player of all time. And I do believe Lebron will 108 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: have the greatest basketball resume in history when it's all 109 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: said and done. Now, I know Bill Russell was wonderful 110 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: with eleven titles. Statistically he was not that great, but 111 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: he did win the greatest winner. But when it's all 112 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: said and done, Lebron will have the greatest basketball resume 113 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: in history, scoring, assists, steals, rebounds, trips to the finals. 114 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: If he ends up with four five championships, he'll have 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: the greatest resume of anybody who's ever played the game. 116 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: Wherever you want to put him, if you want to 117 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: put him in the top five, unless you're Paul Pierce, 118 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: who doesn't have him in the top five, you know fine, 119 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean I'm done arguing just for Lebron. Is Lebron 120 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: Michael No, He'll never be. As we've said before, Lebron 121 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: is Neil Armstrong. He was the first guy to walk 122 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: on the moon. Nobody talks about this second guy to 123 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: walk on the moon. And that's what Lebron is up against. 124 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: But it's going to be hard to find somebody who 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: is the next Lebron. I know we're not going to 126 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: find the next Michael. Gonna have a hard time fighting 127 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: the next Lebron as well. Email addressed DP Atdanpatrick dot com, 128 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: Twitter handle at DP show yes, Polly. If this series 129 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: goes five games, Lebron James will he had two hundred 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: and fifty nine career playoff games played, tied Derek Fisher 131 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: for the most. Ever, let's say Lebron plays two more 132 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: high end seasons of basketball. That's forty more playoff games. 133 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: It's assuming all goes well, he'll be at three hundred 134 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: career playoff games played. That's one hundred and ten more 135 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: than Magic Johnson. That's seventy more than karem Adul Jabar. 136 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 1: He's not even close soon. Once again, statistically, and yes, 137 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: he's lost in the finals, we know then six times, 138 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: but he got to the finals, and that first time 139 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: he went there, he that wasn't even a G League team. 140 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: They that those guys wouldn't make a G League team, 141 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: and he got them to the NBA Finals. But here 142 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: he is, and he's smart enough to know that, Anthony Davis, 143 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: if I if I make sure that he is the 144 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: best player on the floor, then you've got a great 145 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: chance of getting more and more championships because Anthony Davis 146 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: will eventually take the baton or be given the baton 147 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: by Lebron and it'll be his team, and then Lebron 148 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: will be the Scottie Pippen to Anthony Davis is Michael Jordan. 149 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: Even then, you know Lebron is to be the best 150 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: teammate he can be, Anthony Davis. You have to make 151 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: sure that you feed him. You've got to make sure 152 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: he gets into the flow of the game. Let him 153 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 1: be dominating. It could be Lebron could be selfish, but 154 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: I mean he could be, but he won't be because 155 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,200 Speaker 1: he's smart enough to know that. But that's just what 156 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm watching, And I know it's only one game, but 157 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: I'm always I'm just curious why people don't like Lebron 158 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:51,599 Speaker 1: James Kathy and Oregon Kathy, Why don't you like Lebron James. 159 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: I'm kind of old. I've been watching ball for a 160 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: lot of years, and I think I don't like Lebron 161 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: James because I don't agree with the way he's been 162 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: covered in some of the quotes he's had, and I 163 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: think I'm wrong. I have always thought that, and I 164 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: think social media has been kind of a pity because 165 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that I and I think a lot 166 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: of people are like me, don't appreciate the players anymore 167 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: for the players that they are, okay, and it's really 168 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: kind of sad. Well, Twitter has I can't imagine what 169 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: Twitter would be like in Michael Jordan's era, because they 170 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: would be reporting on things, talking about things. It would 171 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: be different. Lebron has survived in the Twitter age and 172 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: everybody's a hater. Everybody's got an opinion and you can 173 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: do it and nobody knows who you are. Yeah. See, 174 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: so like that used to be just the columnist or something, right, 175 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: like they would write a scathing piece about so and so. 176 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: But now it's like, I don't know, ten thousand columns 177 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: a minute. Yeah, everybody's a columnist. Now everybody he's got 178 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: an opinion and you can say it. But Yeah, I'm 179 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: just surprised that people they don't appreciate what they're seeing. 180 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: And just from a basketball purist, that's why I say, 181 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: you know, enjoy it, I mean, appreciate this. This doesn't happen. 182 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: And he's been able to do it and do it 183 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: at a very high level for a long, long period 184 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: of time. Larry in Oregon, Hey Larry, how's it going down? Hey, Bud, 185 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: I just want to make a comment as far as 186 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: the Lakers were concerned. You know, through the beginning of 187 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: this playoffs, we heard that, you know, after the first 188 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: win against the first win that Blazers had against La oh, 189 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 1: you know, the Lakers might get swept and you know, 190 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: the backcourt of mccolluman and and Lillard's gonna be a 191 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: lot to handle. And then the next round we hear, 192 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna be a lot to handle Westbrook 193 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: and Hard in the next round we got Joe Kitchen Murray. 194 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a lot to handle. And for someone 195 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: to say now that it was the easiest path to 196 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,560 Speaker 1: the finals just ridiculous to me, because you can only 197 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 1: beat who's in front of you, uh, you know, and 198 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 1: that's and that's it, and I know a lot of 199 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: it probably has to do with the fact that, you know, 200 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: Lebron is not as loved as much as some other people. Yeah, 201 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: you know what, and thank you, Larry. Lebron's been a 202 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: better teammate than Michael was. Lebron in what he's done 203 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,079 Speaker 1: as an activist as a person is far greater than 204 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: what Michael did. You know, if you're going to compare 205 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: the two, like Michael's not ambraceable, Lebron's more ambraceable. But 206 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: people still with what you saw with Michael, and you 207 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: love Michael, and the documentary came out reinforced everything about Michael, 208 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: although it reinforced some negative things as well, but people 209 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: look past that. But I know I get defensive with Lebron, 210 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: but it's just because I've seen him from his high 211 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: school days. Watched a high school game in person. You know, 212 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: he was a great football player. And maybe it's a 213 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: high Ohio thing as well. But I just think everything 214 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: he's been through single parent, and he's been amazing. He's 215 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: made mistake, but everything is played out right in front 216 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: of us. You know, Kobe said he was taking his 217 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: talents to the NBA as a high school player. Nobody 218 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: said anything about that Lebron's people. Maybe it's the decision. 219 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: I had a problem with the decision because I had 220 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,439 Speaker 1: a problem with the way it was handled by ESPN. 221 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: They should have asked Lebron the question to start that 222 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: show and then get the reaction after that. That's the story, Lebron, 223 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: where are you going? I'm taking my talents to South Beach. Okay, 224 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: let's bring in pat Riley who joins us. Now, let's 225 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: get reaction, local reaction from Cleveland. If they did that, 226 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: then I think people would have been a little bit nicer, 227 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: softer on Lebron. But he didn't build this up. That's 228 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: what ESPN said to Jim Gray to do. It wasn't Lebron. 229 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: Lebron didn't go, hey, you gotta drag this out, man, 230 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: that's what you do. But look at what Lebron did. 231 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: Lebron's the first NBA player, one of the first athletes 232 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: ever to say and I go back to Kurt Flood, 233 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 1: you know, with the reserve clause and not. He didn't 234 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 1: want to be, you know, held like somebody was an 235 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 1: owner to him and say you can't go where you 236 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 1: want to go. And Kurt Flood fought baseball. Because of that, 237 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Lebron said, you can go where you want to go. 238 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: You should be able to play where you want to play. 239 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 1: He empowered athletes. He gave them a stage that he 240 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: got an hour's worth of programming from ESPN, didn't pay 241 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: for it. They game an hour. Now we see athletes 242 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: all the time taking control of social media. Tiger's done this, 243 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: you know, go down the list of athletes who have 244 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: done you know, Tom Brady's done this. Lebron ushered that 245 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: in he empowered athletes. He got involved, put his money 246 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: where his mouth is. I don't know why I'm defending him. 247 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: You're you're sensing the You're like other critics. Yes, yes, 248 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,839 Speaker 1: it's coming. It would be kind of fun at the 249 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Heat one the next week is injured depleted, Yeah, like 250 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: Kelly Olytic goes for a twenty eight and twelve. But 251 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: if Lebron had lost a three one lead like Kawai did, 252 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: that would still be the topic now even during the 253 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: NBA Finals as Lebron lost it not a leader, how 254 00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 1: could that happen? Michael would never do that. He makes 255 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: it look easy with what he did last night. But 256 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: now Miami Heat aren't any good. They were good when 257 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: they beat the Bucks, right, they were good when they 258 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 1: beat the Celtics, right. And then you had media people 259 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: who are trying to be contrarians, and they're going, I'm 260 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: gonna take the Miami Heat. I love the Heat. I've 261 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: watched more Heat games and probably anybody other than true 262 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: Miami Heat fans. I'm mister Heat. I bring the Heat. 263 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: Heat's my favorite movie. Fired Up. Yeah, but the Lakers 264 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: are better team because of Lebron and Anthony Davis, plain 265 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: and simple. Yes, Paul, you need a good Thursday night 266 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: football game to calm you down, and we got it 267 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: and we have it tonight, So calm you right now. Yeah, 268 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: Jets Broncos. Let get two more phone calls coming up, 269 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: Doc Rivers, seventy six ers, maybe question Mark, we'll talk 270 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: about that as well. We'll come up with a poll question. 271 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: You've got a good poll question today, McLevin. Because I'm 272 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: on fired Yeah, I'm a little scared of you right now. No, 273 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. Yeah. Let's I'm gonna 274 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: pull a top guy of left field who's gonna end 275 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 1: up with a greater career Michael Jordan or Lebron James Great, No, Okay, 276 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: let's uh, well, it's it fair to ask? Now, is 277 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: this even a fair question? Will it be a sweep? 278 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: That's what Twitter was going into last night. Most people 279 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: think it will be. I hope not. I really do 280 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: the injury scare you a lot? Yes, yes, even without 281 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: I mean I was hoping that they would win two games. 282 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: The Miami Heat would win two games, but without Dragic 283 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: and you know, Butler bam out of bio. If they're 284 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: banged up a little bit, even if they play, I mean, 285 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: it's it's just difficult. If you're not gonna the Lakers 286 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: shooting forty percent from three point range, you're not gonna 287 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: beat them because they're the best team in the paint. 288 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: As far as scoring, Yeah, well that lasts though. I 289 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: mean I saw KCP come out there and do a 290 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: fade away three points. No way that's going in again. 291 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: I know, yes, point sweep stink. Remember the oh four 292 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: alcs is so unbelievable, one of the great sporting events. 293 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: Yankees Red Sox and then they no offense Cardinals fans, 294 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: but then they swept the Cardinals. I remember when we 295 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: went to Saint Louis, like we were like going I 296 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 1: was unbelievable with the Red Sox just did to the Yankees, 297 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: and then you go, oh, it's over, like that's not 298 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: that's not fair, that's not the way it's supposed to 299 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be. You go seven games and the 300 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: Red Sox finally win a World Series. Yes, we clove 301 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: another poll question that I think ties into some of 302 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 1: the things you've been saying. Who is the best role 303 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: player for the way? Sorry? Which Lakers surprised you the 304 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: most last night with their really good performance? Dwight Howard 305 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: playing well, Rajon Rondo playing great, Alex Caruso was really 306 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: good last night, or Mark Keith Morris had a really 307 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: good everybody was good last night. They blew them out. 308 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 1: Are there any of the Lakers, like Rondo shooting surprising 309 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 1: you or did you kind of see this coming? Well, 310 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: it's playoff Rondo. He's great, he really is. He knows 311 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 1: how to play in the playoffs. I don't know what 312 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: happens in the regular season, but man, does he know. 313 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: I'm curious if they win, does he smile, because I 314 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 1: don't know if I've seen him smile. Yes, seton, I'm 315 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: almost positive the Lakers are losing the next game though, 316 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: just because of because they yeah, this one was still 317 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: like such a blowout that they might even lose the 318 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: next two. She's like, oh, and then and then the 319 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,880 Speaker 1: Lebron haters are going to be in full force coming after. 320 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,760 Speaker 1: This might be the only game they win in this year. 321 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: Oh no, or the Lakers lose the next two up 322 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: purpose to make this series seem tougher and Lebron wins 323 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: in team seth. I mean, yeah, but this is the 324 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 1: easiest road to a championship. Ever, they haven't played anybody. 325 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: I like, how you what are you supposed to do? 326 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: Like when somebody wins an Academy Award in a year 327 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: where there aren't great movies or something, you just go, hey, yeah, 328 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: you won an Academy Award, but there weren't any good movies. 329 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: Nobody says that.

Oh, 396 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: I was amicup getting killed on Twitter because I tweeted 397 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: out you know the code the last two Kobe titles. 398 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: Those who were easy runs in my opinion, because the 399 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: NBA was in like a down time when the Celtics, 400 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,280 Speaker 1: like the pre there's no there's no dynasties around back 401 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: then sort of pre Warriors, Spurs got old and Lebron 402 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: hadn't been to Miami yet, Like, well, what do you 403 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: do then? Do I give you half a title? Three 404 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 1: fourths of a time? I don't like it? You want 405 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 1: a title? People are pointing out the Warriors beat Lebron's 406 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: team when Irving and Kevin Love both got injured, Like 407 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: that's an easy road too, Like history is littered with 408 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: these easy roads because the injuries, and then Cleveland one 409 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: when Kevin Durant went down right Toronto Toronto one. Vint Yeah, 410 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean it's happened. You can look at all the 411 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: sety title and make the same arguments, but I think 412 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: people want that, Like Lakers Celtics nineteen eighty, they're always 413 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,120 Speaker 1: looking for we do does Bird get more credit when 414 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: you beat the Lakers? Did Magic get more credit beating 415 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: the Celtics? It still counts as one? I mean, what 416 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: were the teams like that? The Celtics went through with 417 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: Bill Russell? How many playoff series did you have to 418 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 1: win back then nobody talks about that stuff. It all 419 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: is predicated on Lebron going into some secret society that 420 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: there's only one member and it's Michael Jordan. You don't 421 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: have to let him in. Just recognize he's the greatness. 422 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: That's that's all I'm asking. It feels like it's he's sysiphus. 423 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: He's pushing, pushing that stone up the mountain, and it 424 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: keeps coming back down. No matter how high he gets 425 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: up on the mountain, it comes right back down. Because 426 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: that's all the haters are just in. Yeah, but it's 427 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: the easiest, easiest trip to the finals in history. Himpoint 428 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: the NBA playoff format, and sure is that the best 429 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: teams usually end up at the end. You know, the 430 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: Heat didn't get lucky. They did. This isn't like a 431 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: college basketball where Butler can win a game or two games. 432 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: The Heat earned it. They got there. If you look 433 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: back at eight nine Lakers, they were sixty five and seventeen. 434 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: Kobe with the leader blah blah blah. They won the 435 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: NBA Finals four one over the Orlando Magic, who are 436 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: led by Haydu Turkulu or Chard Lewis, Jamir Nelson, not 437 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 1: not you know, Murders Road, Dwight Howard, but magic out there. 438 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,479 Speaker 1: Look at when the Spurs beat the New York Knicks. 439 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: Nobody talks about that Knicks lineup that wasn't very good 440 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: without Patrick Ewing. Nobody nobody talks about that. It's all 441 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,880 Speaker 1: about Lebron James and where he's going to be in history, 442 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: his place in history. Bob and Florida joins us, Bob, 443 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey, good morning guys. Thanks 444 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 1: for taking my call. Then let me just first start 445 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: off by saying I grew up in Chicago, so I 446 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: have a bias for Michael, So let me get that 447 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: out of the way first. Okay, dislike because hate is 448 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: a strong word, but the dislike for James for me 449 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: is twofold. I blame your occupation you, not you personally, 450 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: but sports analysts, sports historians, basketball analysts. I go back 451 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 1: to the playoff series where the Heat were trying to 452 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: push through against the Celtics, and my memory's a little 453 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: foggy here, but I believe the series was tied at 454 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: two and Lebron had his what many people were for 455 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: two as his first Michael Jordan, I'm taking over the 456 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: game everybody, get the leap out of my way, and 457 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna win this, And he did in the next day. 458 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: It was he's the goat. He's the goat. He's the goat. 459 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 1: So that that's one reason. And number two you have 460 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: lebron friends. They're reasonable, they're reason But then you have 461 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: the LEBRONIAX. But that's what I call him. They're an 462 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: insufferable bunch. You can't reason with them. It's crazy. Thanks 463 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: for taking my car, right, Thank you, Bob. I guess 464 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: I should take some of the blame here that we've 465 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,119 Speaker 1: propped Lebron up? Have we propped him up more than 466 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 1: we have Michael Jordan? I don't think so. We certainly 467 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: have done to grade. You know what, when Ken Burns 468 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: did his PBS documentary series in the Civil War, that 469 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: was eight hours. The Mothership gave you ten hours on 470 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan's career. You know, we've got to spend some 471 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: time on this Civil War. What are you think in 472 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: eight hours here? Ken? Well, yeah, no, can we do ten? 473 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can stretch it out to ten? 474 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: But uh, hey, how long do you think the Jordan? Uh? 475 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,959 Speaker 1: The documentaries should go? Well, I should go longer than 476 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,720 Speaker 1: the Civil War? Can you give us twenty Yeah?

I just wanted to say, 479 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to a buddy yesterday about 480 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: the Heat Lakers matchup, and they were talking about how 481 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: they wanted the Lakers to lose because they don't like 482 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 1: Bron because he you know, recruits players and what not 483 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: to come to his team. But I can't help but think, 484 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,920 Speaker 1: you know that there's no players in the league that 485 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,239 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to play with Lebron. And you look at 486 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: you know, his finals teams in the past, and you 487 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: know they might have had you know, d Wade and 488 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: Chris Bosh, now you know Anthony Davis. But I mean, 489 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: the rosters weren't really stacked with anybody. You look at 490 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 1: Matthew the DOVA did well, but I mean he's not 491 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, probably doing anything now, or Jose Calderone or 492 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: even Mike Miller. You know, I mean, it's not like 493 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 1: these rosters are totally stacked. And it's just, you know, 494 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't think he really did any recruiting, and it 495 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: just only makes sense that you know, even the best 496 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: players would want to go play for him. So I 497 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: think that's one reason why a lot of people don't 498 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: like him. But I don't think that's really fair at 499 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 1: all to dislike the guy. Well understand this. Thank you 500 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Mason for the call. The reason why Lebron left the 501 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: Cavaliers is nobody wanted to go play for the Cavaliers. 502 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: He tried to get Chris Bosh to go there. He 503 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: tried to get him too. I don't even think Bosch 504 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: would go through Cleveland en route to Miami. He didn't 505 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: even want to have a connecting flight to go see Lebron. 506 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: He goes to the Miami Heat. He went to the 507 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: Miami Heat because people kept asking him or say, hey, 508 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: you can't be the King, you can't be the greatest 509 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: if you don't win championships. Nobody was going to play 510 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: there in Cleveland. And then he goes to Miami and 511 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 1: then Chris Bosh is there and it's Dwayne Wade. They 512 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 1: win a couple of titles there, should have won another one, 513 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 1: but Dirk Navitsky and Dallas you know, took it from him. 514 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 1: And then he goes to La Anthony Davis wants to 515 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: get out of New Orleans and he goes there turn 516 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 1: over the roster. So I guess if you want to 517 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 1: blame him that he went and recruited to build a 518 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 1: team instead of staying at home because Michael, of course 519 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: stayed at home with the Chicago Bulls named the Bulls. 520 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,719 Speaker 1: You know the reason why Michael won those titles because 521 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 1: Jerry Krauss made unbelievable moves. I mean, he traded Olden 522 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,960 Speaker 1: Polonies for Scottie Pippen on draft day, they got Tony 523 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: Kukoach from Europe. They brought in Rodman for nothing. Where 524 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: would Michael be without those people there as great as 525 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: he is. So somebody else did the recruiting to get 526 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: those players, draft those players, trade for those players. So, 527 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: if we're just being fair to in a level playing field, 528 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: Michael was there in Chicago. Somebody else built built those 529 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: rosters for him. You know, Michael wanted to bring in 530 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 1: North Carolina players, and they had to say to Michael, 531 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: you can't keep bringing in your friends. He wanted to 532 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:33,360 Speaker 1: bring in Walter Davis, wonderful college player, got hurt bad 533 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,479 Speaker 1: knee in the NBA. Mike wanted to bring him in. 534 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: Every time Mike wanted to bring in somebody. They'd say, no, Mike, 535 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: We're not going to do that. Just got this information 536 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: is from the NFL. The Steelers Titans game schedule for 537 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: Week four will be rescheduled to later this season. After 538 00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: one additional Titans player one personnel member tested positive today. 539 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: They were going to try to make this go on 540 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: Monday or Tuesday. The decision to postpone the game was 541 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: made to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches, 542 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: and game day personnel. Peter King will join us coming 543 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 1: up a little bit later on. I'll go back to 544 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: what I told you when there was the possibility of 545 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: this happening, the NFL expected this to happen. I don't 546 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: know if they expected this to happen in Week four. 547 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I think midway or later in the season. They thought 548 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: that it could happen, and they were willing to move 549 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl back, that they could move it back 550 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks if they needed to. But two 551 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: more positive tests in Tennessee one player one personnel, and 552 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: the Steelers and Titans game, which is a battle of 553 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: undefeated teams, is going to be rescheduled for later on 554 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: in this season. Yeah, Paul, I guess I'm curious what 555 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: changed besides the one extra test was a vital player, 556 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 1: was a player was involved with all the main guys 557 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: on offensive defense. Feels like there's more positives to come. Yeah, 558 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 1: that's that's the feeling I'm getting. But we'll talk to 559 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: Peter about that. And you know, they were talking about 560 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: maybe you could swap bye weeks that the Steelers, uh 561 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: you know, they change their bye week and maybe you 562 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: can schedule this. I think week seven, six or seven 563 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: that you can pull this off. But uh, you know, well, 564 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: this is, you know, if a fluid story that's breaking now. 565 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 1: So we'll keep an eye on what are the possibilities here. 566 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: I would check with Florio there Fritzie on what he said. 567 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 1: I think he was talking about how somebody would have 568 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,080 Speaker 1: to flip flop bye weeks. Yeah, McLevin, I think he 569 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 1: told us that week seven, uh it's the Titans bye week, 570 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: that the Steelers and the Ravens have the same bye weeks, 571 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: so they would reschedule their games at play week seven. 572 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: Yes boy, Yeah, this just in Broncos Jets going on 573 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: is planned in oh if you were going to have 574 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: a game that was going to be rescheduled, that would 575 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: be the game you had to dude, the Jets want 576 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: to win tonight, And as strange as that's gonna send out, 577 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: I really wonder if the Jets want to win tonight 578 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: or should they want to win tonight. I'm sure the 579 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: players are going to go out there and Sam Darnold's 580 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 1: gonna play hard, and but if you're a Jets fan, 581 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: do you want the Jets to win tonight? All right, 582 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: we'll get some more phone calls. We have our play 583 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: of the day coming up and another stat of the day. 584 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,320 Speaker 1: We'll set along a pull question as well. Back after 585 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,280 Speaker 1: this and the Dan Patrick Thanks for listening to The 586 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show podcast.

If you're in Jets management, do you want 593 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: to win tonight? Like? Privately, do you want to win? 594 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: Because if you get on a roll, do you want 595 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: to bring Adam Gaze back? And might have been week 596 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 1: one when I said, this is the scenario I see 597 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: unfolding with the Jets. At some point Adam Gays gets 598 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: fired and Greg Williams, their defensive coordinator, takes over and 599 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: he coaches them the rest of the season. You're gonna 600 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: have some decisions to make here. But do you want 601 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: to be six and ten or would you rather be 602 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: three and thirteen? If I said you're three and thirteen 603 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:27,680 Speaker 1: and you get Trevor Lawrence, or do you want to 604 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: be six and ten? I guess I'd rather be bad 605 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: to be good, because right now you're in no man's 606 00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: land and not getting better anytime soon. I don't know 607 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: if you need to see a little bit more from 608 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold in fairness to Sam Darnold, but if I'm 609 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 1: a Jets fan, I probably don't want to win. Yeah, 610 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: pulling the Jets after this week against Denver. They have 611 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: Arizona Chargers, Buffalo, Kansas City in New England. They may 612 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: not have a choice in the matter. I got a question. 613 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't know the Jets management too well. Is the 614 00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: person who hired Adam Gays to be the head coach 615 00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: is still the current GM? No? Oh wow, but he's 616 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: friends with Adam Gaze. They work together, I think with 617 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,359 Speaker 1: the Bears or that, right, because some team, Yeah, that's 618 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: one of the reasons Broncos. Joe Douglass, who was who 619 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: led it, was part of the Eagles Super Bowl year. 620 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,360 Speaker 1: So maybe he brings in Doug Peterson or something like 621 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: gets the gang back together for Philly. I like Paul, 622 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 1: but I wouldn't hire him to coach my team. For 623 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,560 Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, Yeah, that's gotta be at least a push. Yeah. 624 00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm good with the media, and I don't know schemes 625 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: that well. Yeah, but I don't you know Adam Gaze, 626 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,680 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's coaching for his job. I 627 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 1: don't want to see people lose their job. But then 628 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,799 Speaker 1: at some point you say you've had enough time to 629 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: prove whether you can or cannot coach, and I haven't 630 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: seen it. I haven't And if I'm a Jets fan, 631 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: the formula is the following. You have to have the 632 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, and then I win in that five year 633 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 1: window because then you're gonna pay him and he's going 634 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,840 Speaker 1: to be the going rate for quarterbacks is going to 635 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 1: be forty million dollars a year. If I can get 636 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 1: a guy, and I'm paying him a couple million dollars 637 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:15,560 Speaker 1: and I can spread the wealth around. Then that's that's 638 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,279 Speaker 1: the formula, that's the blueprint. Yeah, mclovin. So what about 639 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold? Then I don't I haven't seen enough that 640 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,600 Speaker 1: I can say, because you're gonna have to extend him, Like, 641 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: you gotta make that decision next year. Right? Is this 642 00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,319 Speaker 1: his thirdird year? So they really have five if they 643 00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: want it. Yeah, but you usually make that decision, like 644 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,560 Speaker 1: the Bears already made their decision on Mitchell Trubisky. But yeah, 645 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: this is You've got decisions to make here. But I 646 00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,359 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if Adam Gaze is going 647 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: to be the answer. I mean, they got Levon Bell. 648 00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to spend that kind of money on a 649 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: running back, especially on his second contract. And then you 650 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:01,480 Speaker 1: had your two best defensive players who opted out. Can 651 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: you name a skill position player on the Jets besides 652 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. I just pulled up their depth chart. It's ugly, Dan, 653 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: But don't they have to have depth to have a 654 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,839 Speaker 1: depth chart? So I see the only wide receivers out 655 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: either Q or D is Braxon Barrios Josh Malone and 656 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: at least Jamison Crowder as a questionable, but I don't 657 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 1: think he's playing. Yeah, I mean, I don't know what 658 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: we can expect. This is what I expect out of 659 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold. Darnold back to pass and he's out of 660 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,640 Speaker 1: the pocket. He's gonna have to run again. Or Darneld 661 00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:39,360 Speaker 1: back to pass under pressure incomplete Darneld back to pass 662 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:44,480 Speaker 1: and it's intercepted. Yes, but they have this spicy young 663 00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: running back that they want a feature named Frank Gore, 664 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,320 Speaker 1: the Youth Movement. Does Fritzie want his team to win tonight? 665 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,359 Speaker 1: I do, even though you're you could be owing four 666 00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: in the driver's seat to get Trevor Law if I 667 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 1: knew there was like but since you don't know the future, 668 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,759 Speaker 1: you just rolling the dits that the season's only one 669 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,399 Speaker 1: quarter done after tonight and they can win a couple 670 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:06,879 Speaker 1: of games. I'd have to look at who they're playing 671 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,200 Speaker 1: the rest of the way, but I know they're gonna 672 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 1: lose twice to the Chiefs. They'll probably lose at least 673 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 1: once to the Raiders. But if they end up five 674 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: and eleven or something like that, then I'd rather than 675 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 1: win in Prime time. If you lose to the Jets, 676 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,319 Speaker 1: that's just humilion. But who cares if it helps you 677 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 1: down the road. If I said, you could go two 678 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: and fourteen or you go six and ten, but they 679 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 1: may not, like they could lose and go on and four, 680 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,200 Speaker 1: but then they can still finish the season, you know, 681 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,200 Speaker 1: with enough wins to not get the number one pick. 682 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 1: But I just ask you, would you rather have your 683 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 1: team go two and fourteen or six and ten. I'd 684 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: have to go two and fourteen as much as I 685 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,800 Speaker 1: like to see. Okay, so you would want to lose tonight? Yes? See? 686 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,720 Speaker 1: Didn't the Jets already tank for a quarterback and draft them, 687 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 1: and now they're trying to, yeah, to get rid of 688 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: that quarterback that they originally sucked for. It's just like 689 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: the seventy six ers. Your tank, you got embed and 690 00:37:55,600 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: then you tanked and you got Ben Simmons, You asked me, Clevin. Yeah, well, 691 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,160 Speaker 1: now in quarterback, like, look at the team the Cardinals 692 00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: came upon Josh Rosen in a year. It's so fast 693 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: right now? But wait, were we all about Drew Locke 694 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:09,959 Speaker 1: like a month ago? What happened to that? Now? Trevor 695 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,880 Speaker 1: Lawrence Michael, Well, no, I don't think that's going to happen. 696 00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,040 Speaker 1: But I you know, Drew Luck's going to come back, 697 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: and there are high hopes for him. But that's just 698 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 1: because we haven't seen anything out of him. There's always 699 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 1: that potential there. We haven't seen how good he can be. 700 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,040 Speaker 1: Boy's got an arm. It'd be news if he didn't 701 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,600 Speaker 1: have an arm. Like then that guy's got a big arm. 702 00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:33,239 Speaker 1: Still waiting for that guy to come out, and he's 703 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,280 Speaker 1: got like a Popeye arm. Man, he's got a big arm. Yes, mccleman. Again, 704 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 1: not to fire anyone, but Vic Fangio doesn't get a 705 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: lot of positive online reviews. No he does not. He's 706 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: not well liked in the Twitter. No, no he's not. 707 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: Once again, the Steelers Titans game has been rescheduled for 708 00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: later on this season. Peter King will join us coming 709 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: up a little bit later on. Let me get to 710 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: Jean and North Carolina. Some Jets fans went away in 711 00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: on do you want to win tonight? Hey? Jean? What's 712 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: on your Hey? Then? Hey, I just wanted to chime 713 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,719 Speaker 1: in and say I really don't have a problem with 714 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:12,880 Speaker 1: Lebron as much as his fan. I live in Florida 715 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,319 Speaker 1: or I'm from Florida, And the problem that I've had 716 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: was his fans. I was a Leber Laker fan. So 717 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: in twenty twelve and twenty and thirteen, everybody all of 718 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: a sudden was the Lake was a Lebron or a 719 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,160 Speaker 1: Heat fan. Then the Lakers went down and it was, oh, 720 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: you guys are horrible. You guys are horrible. And then 721 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, all of those fans that were, 722 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: you know, Lebron fans are now all to all of 723 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,520 Speaker 1: a sudden Laker fans, and it's like, oh, we're gonna 724 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,799 Speaker 1: win a championship. And it's like we like, where were 725 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 1: you at when we were taking Where were you at 726 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: when we were in every game? But we were laughing, 727 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,040 Speaker 1: I know. And thanks for the phone call. You can't 728 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: blame Lebron for this. People don't like Lebron and I'm curious. 729 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: That's all just the reaction on Twitter last night he 730 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:05,320 Speaker 1: jump out thirteen point lead and men start to pile 731 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: on Lebron. James blame the media. Blame those damn media people. 732 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,240 Speaker 1: They did this. But don't say, boy, the media loves Lebron, 733 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:22,359 Speaker 1: because nobody is in love with Michael Jordan more than 734 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 1: the media is they love Michael Jordan. Justin in Iowa, Justin, 735 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: What is on your mind today? Hey guys, First, I'm 736 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,120 Speaker 1: calling here. I just called a comment about my chats here. 737 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,759 Speaker 1: Oh okay, Um. So I'm I'm on the tank training now. 738 00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,799 Speaker 1: With the way we've lost the first three games, I'm 739 00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: I'm taking I'm tanking for Trenor right now. And as 740 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,400 Speaker 1: far as Darnold goes, I mean, I don't know. I've 741 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: seen good and I've seen bad. It's tough to tell 742 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: with Gays as the coach. But at this planets, I 743 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,920 Speaker 1: think Sam deserves to go somewhere else with the comedy 744 00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,160 Speaker 1: coach is going to be in a third coach in 745 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: four years. I know it showed hope last year winning 746 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,200 Speaker 1: it was six in the last eight team, so it's 747 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: pretty excited for this year. But then in this year 748 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: it's just been a dumpster fire so far. So I say, 749 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,920 Speaker 1: I say cases out after the night if they lose, 750 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,719 Speaker 1: which I think they're going to. So I'm praying for 751 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,759 Speaker 1: a lost tonight. All right, Well, thanks for the phone call. Yeah, 752 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: this is the kind of game that they win tonight. Yeah, 753 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 1: there's certain teams. It's like when I said the Lions, 754 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,360 Speaker 1: watch them win in Arizona, and then they win, not 755 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: because they're supposed to or they're a better team. It's 756 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: just there's certain teams where you go, what are they 757 00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:37,600 Speaker 1: doing winning? And the Jets probably will win tonight. I 758 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,359 Speaker 1: don't know if you want them to win tonight, but 759 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: if you're a Jets fan, Sam and DC, Hey Sam, Hey, Dan, 760 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: how's it going? Yeah, I'll let go that last caller. 761 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: And I know I speak for a good amount of 762 00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: the Jet fan contingency. We really are just hoping for just, 763 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, the bottom of the barrel here. Let's see 764 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: how bad this team can actually. Every weekend, especially like 765 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: a day like today, I get ready to watch, I 766 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: get ready for game day, and I generally hope they lose. 767 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,160 Speaker 1: And it's a really weird feeling to have. But my 768 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,239 Speaker 1: feeling is not just to get the first pick, not 769 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,319 Speaker 1: to just oh we'll stack up on draft picks. Now. 770 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,800 Speaker 1: I think it's because Adam Gaze is an absolutely terrible coach. 771 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 1: He's not a leader. He can't fix this team. So 772 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: it's not just about the losses. It's about this team 773 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,279 Speaker 1: not even showing up and not even being able to 774 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,759 Speaker 1: play an actual football game, and so I want just 775 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,320 Speaker 1: what's you know? I think Sam Darnold still has a shot, 776 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,520 Speaker 1: and I just hope we can just clean house with 777 00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 1: this Adam Gay Sarah, And that's why for losses at 778 00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,200 Speaker 1: this point. All right, thanks for the phone call, Sam, 779 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,480 Speaker 1: and I guess have fun today, well watching your team 780 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,640 Speaker 1: try to lose or you hope they lose. Yeah, that's 781 00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 1: I haven't seen enough from Sam Darnold. I did see 782 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: a lot in college, but I haven't seen that in 783 00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. And he had mono and he doesn't have weapons. Yeah. See. 784 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,759 Speaker 1: Do you really get the sense though, that, like, man, 785 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,680 Speaker 1: if the Jets only had Trevor Lawrence, then they'll help. No, No, 786 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,600 Speaker 1: because there's no guarantee that even if they got him, 787 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: they'd probably still screw that up. Yeah. I mean it 788 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,359 Speaker 1: starts from the top down. Do you have the right 789 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,799 Speaker 1: people there to make the right draft picks, bring in 790 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,280 Speaker 1: free agents? Do you want to play there? Trevor Lawrence 791 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: will probably stay at Clemson another year.
