1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,640 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. It's our two on this Thursday, Dan and 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: The Dance Dan Patrick Show. If you've watched a lot 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 1: of Steelers and Vikings this season, you might not guess 5 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: that Pittsburgh has a winning record and Minnesota does and 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Steelers are six five and one, they're hard to figure 7 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: out the five and seven Vikings the same. Pittsburgh can 8 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: win games, but then you come away going, I don't 9 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,479 Speaker 1: know how they did it. Last week when the Ravens 10 00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: last second two point attempt failed, Steelers got the win. 11 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: Vikings usually jump out to a lead, they're up in 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and then you're not sure how they lost. 13 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: Last week. They allowed the Lions to score on the 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: final play of the game and that brutal loss, and 15 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,959 Speaker 1: they were playing prevent defense. It's a funny year. It's 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: a strange year. That extra playoff spot in each conference, 17 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: and there's a lot of parody, and both teams are 18 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: in the thick of the playoff race, no margin of error. Though, 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: when you look at these final five weeks, both teams 20 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: are at a crossroads and this might be Ben Roethlisberger's 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,959 Speaker 1: last run. Vikings could have changes as well, starting with 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: their head coach. Every game is big and it feels 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: extremely important for both of these franchises with this game. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: And I know on paper doesn't seem like it's a 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:22,199 Speaker 1: great game, but it's a standalone game. There's storylines here 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 1: and people are going to tune in and have an 27 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: opinion on Friday about both of these quarterbacks. Both of 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: these teams playoff chances, the futures of these quarterbacks, what 29 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: they do in the draft. So Vikings and the Steelers 30 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: coming up tonight. We'll talk to our buddy Ross Tucker 31 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:46,759 Speaker 1: on loan from CBS Sports. He'll handicap this game coming up. Also, 32 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: Lakers at the Grizzlies coming up tonight. Steph Curry had 33 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: six three pointers, so he's tent away from Ray Allen's 34 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: all time record. And I think the fact that people 35 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: thought he could get sixteen three pointers in a game, 36 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: that's never happened, right, But the fact that you think 37 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: Steph Curry, yeah, I could see him get sixteen threes, 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: and I went, wait, are you listening to yourself? He 39 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: would beat the existing record by twenty percent. That doesn't happen, 40 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: but he did. It looked like he was trying for it, 41 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: that's for sure. Didn't have a great shooting night. And 42 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: then it's against an undermanned Portland team. I wondered that too, 43 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: that you're playing a team that's not very good or 44 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: not fully assembled. How long does he play in the game, 45 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: And if you have a more competitive team, does he 46 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: stand there longer? Does he have a better chance at 47 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: breaking the record. It'll be Sunday night the Bears with 48 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: Justin Fields heading to Lambeo, Aaron Rodgers and the Green 49 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: Bay Packers the NFC North Showdown. That's Sunday seven Eastern 50 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 1: on NBC and Peacock. Here's Aaron Rodgers talking about the 51 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: last time the Packers played the Bear. A lot of 52 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: times in you know, situations like this, the trash talk 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 1: is only able to be used if you know, if 54 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: you're getting after that individual that that was trash talking. 55 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: So in order to trash stalk, you have to have 56 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence and what you've accomplished and what 57 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 1: you're going to accomplish in the future. At some point 58 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: what I said will be used against me, that's just 59 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: part of it. But I have, you know, no regrets 60 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: for saying what I said, and obviously. I think the 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: record kind of speaks for itself. Yeah, he has no 62 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: reason to apologize. He does own the Chicago Bears. I mean, 63 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the Bears should apologize to their fans for letting Aaron 64 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: Rodgers own them. But Aaron Rodgers doesn't have to apologize 65 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: for anything. You just telling the truth. I own you. Yeah, 66 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: he said at some point, I'm gonna have to eat 67 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: my words, which means the Bears will win a game. 68 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: I don't know that he's right on that one. How 69 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: many more games does he have against the Bears, even 70 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: if he stays in Green Bay? Yeah? Zix Yeah, Todd 71 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: as his Bad Late Night monologues and uh, he sent 72 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: this to me. You debuted this two weeks ago. Approximate 73 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, Bad Late Night Monologue mixed reviews, probably 74 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: more negative from what I've still on tom So, this 75 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 1: is the best news I've heard all day. I'm so excited. 76 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: Are you? Are you being serious? Stone? I love it. 77 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: I love this because I don't know if there was 78 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: a call for this after the original Bad Late Night Monologue. 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: I don't think there was. I kind of took it 80 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: upon myself to write another one. Yes, Yeah, this is 81 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: what finally pushed me out the doory. Okay, I like 82 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: how Todd lowers the expectations by saying it's a bad 83 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: late night monologue. These are the bad. You're not capable 84 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: of doing a good late night sports I'm self deprecating, 85 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: so I'm already kind of slaying myself this bad on purpose. 86 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 1: I'm actually trying to write something genuinely fun, That's what 87 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: I but I'm not preparing for any kind of laughter. 88 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 1: I'm not standing by for that. Okay, are you ready 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: for Tan's bad late night sports monologue? Redundant? Okay, there's 90 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: just three, just like last times. Three, here we go, 91 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: and the first one had to do with what you 92 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: just alluded to there with the Bears and Packers meeting 93 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: up at Lambeau Monday night, Aaron Rodgers was asked if 94 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: he has any regrets about saying he owned the Chicago Bears. 95 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: He said, at some point I'll be used against me. 96 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: It is what it is. I don't regret saying it 97 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: at all. Fair enough, but about that, I'm immunized comment. 98 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks star Lucat Done, Slow Down, Slow Down, Dallas 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 1: Maverick and they play on Sunday night, Monday, not Monday Night, 100 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: So you screwed up. I did screw that up. That's right. 101 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 1: It's Rams Cardinals Monday Night, Yes, Monday Night. Britty has 102 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: a delivery of a comedian who's on death row and 103 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: knows he's gonna be put to death in four minutes, 104 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: and he's trying to get his act done. Get in here, 105 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: we're about electric. Here your way, it's gonna finish reading this. 106 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 1: Dallas Mavericks star lucat Don knows he let himself go 107 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: a bit over the summer, needs to work on his conditioning. 108 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: We talked about this yesterday. He appeared choked up interiorized 109 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,359 Speaker 1: while lamenting being overweight. Turns out he actually had a 110 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: portion of a quarter pounder louned in his throat, so 111 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: it's not as emotional about it as we thought. That's 112 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: why he was all choked. Had a quarter pounder stuff. 113 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 1: You know what I'm wrong? Speed up your delivery. Things 114 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: are getting coyote ugly, as Arizona's MHL team may get 115 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: kicked out of their arena unless they pay taxes and 116 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: other bills asap, which begs the question, what's the more 117 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: hideous situation? But coyotes not handling their financial issues or 118 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: watching them play hockey. That's the bad late night sports monologue. 119 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: So Luca got all choked up because he was kind 120 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: of choked out. A whapp out there and quarter pounder. 121 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Nothing to do with people who are asking why he's overweight. Alright, 122 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: thank you, Doe as Paul, he likes to use that word. 123 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: It's a good word. Ye don't bring me in this, 124 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: don't want any Even Joe Johnson thought it was here dead. 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: I appreciate Joe kind like here was mocking me a 126 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: little bit. That's not a genuine line. The guy, the guy, 127 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: he shot me, shot you dirty look No, no, no, 128 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: he shot me with a gun and terrible, terrible.

It did affect the interview we did yesterday, 135 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: did affect the betting line. It was three and a 136 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: half went down to a pick him seems to be 137 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: an appropriate designation. With Kenny Pickett not playing the game 138 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: is a pick him, so it's a Pickett. He's still 139 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 1: undecided if he's going to play in the Peach Bowl 140 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: against Michigan State eight seven seven three d P Show 141 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: email under STP at dan patrick dot com, Twitter handle 142 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: at dp's show.

Are you playing 151 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: in the Peach Bowl? Well, with you know, recent news 152 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: and out of you know, our team with coach Whipple 153 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: and everybody, you know. I actually just got home yesterday 154 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: and I didn't get a chance to talk about with 155 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: my parents. Just kind of enjoying the season and get 156 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: a chance to see some family who haven't been around 157 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: in a long time. So but definitely I'll be talking 158 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: about that with my family here soon. So you're undecided, 159 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,960 Speaker 1: I'd say on the side of right now, Yes, he 160 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,959 Speaker 1: caught himself because I think he was probably going to 161 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: answer that, and then with his offensive coordinator, Coach Whipple 162 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: leaving to go to Nebraska, I think he kind of 163 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: gave you a little bit of the this is the 164 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: reason why I haven't decided yet. I'm going to talk 165 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: to my family, and then he goes to the Heisman 166 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: ceremony coming up this weekend. Mentioned a little bit about 167 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: Steph Curry first hour of the show beating the Portland Trailblazers. 168 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: You know the record's going to happen. It's not significant 169 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: to me that he's going to have the most threes 170 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: in NBA history, because you know, if I look at 171 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: how he did it, then you know that's where I 172 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: have great curiosity. But you know, this isn't the home 173 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: run record. You know, it's not the old time scoring 174 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: record in the NBA. It's just it's it's it's a 175 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: nice award, it's it's But you know, how we view 176 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: threes now as opposed to the way we did eight 177 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: years ago, ten years ago, Like passing yards. Here's a 178 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: stat for you. Remember, passing yards used to be a 179 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 1: big deal. Not anymore. Let's see here the quarterback with 180 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: the most passing yards through his first thirteen seasons in 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. This is NFL history. The quarterback who has 182 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: the most passing yards through thirteen seasons in the NFL, Paulie. 183 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's played enough seasons, but I 184 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: think I've got it. Matthew Stafford noe. Matthew Stafford is 185 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: on the list. Matthew Stafford is one two three four. 186 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: He's fifth as far as most passing yards through thirteen seasons. 187 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:48,079 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan as the most passing yards through the first 188 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,959 Speaker 1: thirteen seasons in NFL history. Stat of the day, of 189 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: the day, past stad of the day, stat of the day? 190 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: Here comes that? What stat of the day. He's almost 191 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: at fifty nine thousand passing yards. It doesn't mean anything, Yeah, McLevin, 192 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,679 Speaker 1: that's shocking. Yeah yeah, That's why I brought it up. 193 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 1: If it wasn't shocking, then it wouldn't have been that 194 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 1: good as stat of the day. Yeapo. He also, he's 195 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: never led the league in passing yards in any single season. 196 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: He's never led a league in touchdowns in any single 197 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: season with all those numbers. Matthew Stafford is fifth on 198 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: that list. Here, I'm also looking at Cooper Cup's season 199 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,959 Speaker 1: so far. He leads the league. He's got one hundred catches, 200 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: he's got over thirteen hundred receiving yards, he's got eleven 201 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: touchdown receptions. He's the first player ever with those numbers 202 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 1: through his team's first twelve games of a season. So 203 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: he's on pace for eighteen hundred yards probably one hundred 204 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: and thirty plus the receptions. But he gets ninety receiving 205 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: yards or more in eight consecutive games. The record is nine. 206 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior the third and Michael Irvin so Cooper Cup. 207 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: He's one of those where you if you don't watch 208 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: the game, you just watch the highlights. You're like, wow, 209 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: he had another big play. But he's more than just that. 210 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: You know, he runs great routes. I remember we watched 211 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: the Division what one double a FCS whatever it is, 212 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: and PAULI goes, you got to watch Eastern Washington and 213 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 1: I said, all right, instead am I watching for the 214 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: red football field? He goes, no, watch for their wide receiver, 215 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. I think it might have been the first 216 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: play that they had on offense in a playoff game, 217 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: and he was like post pattern he ran for a touchdown. 218 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: I go, all right, got my attention here, and then 219 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 1: you realize that, I mean, he hasn't played a full 220 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: season because he's been injured, but this year, Cooper Cup, 221 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: those are big numbers there. Let me see what else 222 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: do we have? And I was also curious about Damian 223 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: Lillard conversation, and we talked about this yesterday. I think 224 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: that this might be a situation that we saw with 225 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook and Alan Iverson where they were traded by 226 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: their teams. I don't think that Russ wanted to leave 227 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City and Iverson didn't want to leave Philadelphia, but 228 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: the franchisees felt like it was best for them as 229 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: they move forward, that you trade Russ and that the 230 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: Sixers traded Alan Iverson. Here does Portland get to that point? 231 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: I love that Damian Lillard wants to stay, but if 232 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: I'm the Blazers, we've gone as far as we can 233 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: go with him. He's wonderful face of the franchise. But 234 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: now you have to figure out down the road, what 235 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: are we going to be in three years, two years, 236 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: four years, and that's where you have to start thinking. 237 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: You know, these are tough decisions to make. Here is 238 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,839 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard that he doesn't want to go, he wants 239 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: to stay. My attentions are to be in Portland and 240 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: to figure it out, you know, And as as far 241 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: as I know, that's all of our attentions. I also 242 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: know that people won't continue to have these same conversations 243 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: because it's fun to talk about, but you know that's 244 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: not it's not accurate. So I mean, they can keep 245 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: talking about it all they want, and I'm gonna keep 246 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 1: saying the same thing. Okay, he doesn't want to stay. 247 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: He said he wants to stay. He's trying to figure 248 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: out solutions here. I'm going to take him at his word. 249 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: They talked about, you know, maybe getting Ben Simmons, or 250 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: at least there was a report attaching his name to 251 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: do they go out and get Ben Simmons, trade for him. 252 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: I don't know what you're giving up for Ben Simmons, 253 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: but you're gonna give up a lot. CJ. McCollum would 254 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: be expendable. But he's got to collapse lung right now. 255 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: And then who are you giving up? And then you 256 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: get Ben Simmons and then you look around and you go, well, uh, 257 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: it's me and Ben Simmons. That's not gonna be enough 258 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: to make a dent in the West. Yeah, Paul, that 259 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard clip. Do you think he meant it or 260 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: had to say it. I'm going to take him in 261 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: his word. I mean, he's he said this. He hadn't 262 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: changed anything. He said that he wants to stay, he 263 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: wants to figure it out, that he didn't want to 264 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 1: go chasing championship rings. He said that before I think 265 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: when Lebron got to the Lakers said I'm not here 266 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: to chase you know, I want to do it here 267 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: in Portland.

Bad Larry 300 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 1: is up I think plus twenty four units so far 301 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,440 Speaker 1: on the season. Bad Larry is really good at gambling 302 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 1: because he doesn't have another job. That's all he does. 303 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: But you can go to Dan Patrick dot com and 304 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 1: you can check out all the podcasts that we have. 305 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: But it's a new podcast and it's called Dan Patrick 306 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: Takes a Gamble. Yes, point, I don't know how to 307 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,479 Speaker 1: put my finger on it. But if you looked at 308 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 1: Bad Larry and Dylan, you say, yeah, those guys gamble. Yeah. 309 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: I don't know why, but you can just look at it. 310 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: It's like coming out of their pores. I saw this 311 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 1: report that head coach Mike Zimmer could get fired at 312 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: the Vikings lose to the Steelers on Thursday Night Football. 313 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: This coming from Jason Laucklin four of CBS Sports that 314 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: Mike Zimmer is firmly on the hot seat and may 315 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: not even last until the end of the season. According 316 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: to Jason They're five and seven so far and likely 317 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Let me see if he says 318 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: anything else. The Vikings coach continues to wear out players 319 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: and coaches with his caustic manner. Zimmer is on such 320 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 1: thin ice. A loss to Pittsburgh tonight could be enough 321 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: for the Vikings to fire him. With four games left 322 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: in the regular season, we make way for our good buddy. 323 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: Ross Tucker hosts of the Ross Tucker Football Podcast. He 324 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: works for CBS Sports and Westwood One. What do you 325 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,120 Speaker 1: make of that report there? Ross doesn't shock me, Dan. 326 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: You know, I've played with coach Zimmer when I was 327 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: in Dallas. Have a lot of respect for him. Obviously 328 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,600 Speaker 1: he was on the defensive side of the ball. I 329 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: think he's a good coach. I think he's done a 330 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: nice job in Minnesota. But it does feel like on 331 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: some level it's run its course. You know, their defense 332 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: is just simply not good enough. That's his expertise, that's 333 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 1: his side of the ball. And then they have arguably 334 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: the best receiving tandem in the league. They have a 335 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: really good back and cook Alexander Madison is a stud 336 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 1: when he plays. Cousins has played as a top ten 337 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: quarterback this year. They can't be five and seven. I mean, 338 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how you're five and seven with all 339 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: of the skill guys I just name. Clearly, the defense 340 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: and the old line aren't good enough. But we've been 341 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 1: saying that for a couple of years now. Yeah, I 342 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: and I always go back to this, and I say 343 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 1: this a lot. Not every assistant coach is meant to 344 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 1: be a head coach that you know. Belichick is really 345 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: rare that he doesn't have personality, but he still has 346 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: that attention to detail. He doesn't win press conferences. You know, 347 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll wins a press conference. You know Sean McVeagh 348 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 1: wins a press conference. But Mike Zimmer doesn't win a 349 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: press conference. And he doesn't strike me as a guy 350 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: who is going to lead you to the promised land 351 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: where you go. I'm going to follow that guy. But 352 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,919 Speaker 1: if you say, hey, coach the defense, he strikes me 353 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,720 Speaker 1: as a guy that you want on your staff, not 354 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: to be the head coach. Do you understand where I'm 355 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: coming from here? Yeah? I do? You know, I will say, 356 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: you know, they went to the playoffs a lot of 357 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: years in a row. They've won a decent amount of 358 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: playoff games, obviously getting that NFC Championship game in twenty seventeen. 359 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: I do think he's a head coach. I think he's 360 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: a good head coach. I don't think he's a great one. 361 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: And they have not been able to overcome some personnel 362 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: issues on the defensive side of the ball, of the 363 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: offensive line. But they've tried for like two three four 364 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: years now, and at a certain point you have to say, 365 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: let's give somebody else a shot. And then you have 366 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: the Steelers here with the farewell tour of Ben Roethlisberger. 367 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: If it is the farewell tour of Ben Roethlisberger that, 368 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: I don't know what happens if they make the playoffs 369 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 1: like just been you know, I guess he's made it decision. 370 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: According to Adam Schefter, do you think it's over that 371 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: Ben is not going to play no matter what happens 372 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: the rest of this season. So I'm kind of confused 373 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,840 Speaker 1: by this day. I know there are reports last week 374 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: that Roethlisberger's privately telling people that it's his last year. 375 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: I thought we kind of knew this was his last year. 376 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: You know why, when they redid his contract, he took 377 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: less money for this year, all the other years void. 378 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,920 Speaker 1: I thought we all knew it was his last year. 379 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: Like I thought that was the deal they signed Mason 380 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: Rudolph to a one year extension through twenty twenty two. 381 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: I didn't really think last week's news was actually news. 382 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 1: I thought we all knew this was Big Ben's last dance, 383 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: last chance, and that that's the way it always was 384 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: going to be, and the way it's played out this year, 385 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: it should be his last year. But do you see them, 386 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,679 Speaker 1: I don't think his successors on that roster. No. I 387 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 1: think that they have Mason Rudolph extended for one year 388 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: as sort of the full or for what they can have. 389 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 1: Worst case scenario for them right now, it's Rudolph and 390 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: Haskins potentially battling out for that spot if they're not 391 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: able to get some other veteran or anybody in the draft. 392 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: You know, they're not going to draft high enough to get, 393 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: you know, one of the two or three guys that 394 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: people seem to like, although nobody's in love or enamored 395 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: with any of these guys. To be ironic, if they 396 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: had Kenny Pickett just stay in the exact same stadium, obviously, 397 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: every Steelers fan I know here in Pennsylvania, it's like, Oh, 398 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: we're getting Russell Wilson due to Aaron Rodgers. You know. 399 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 1: It's so funny, Dan. Whether it's college football, and like 400 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: the Notre Dame alums or Oklahoma fans or the NFL, 401 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: everybody has an overinflated sense of the worth of their 402 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: team or their school. Like the Steelers fans around here, 403 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: they're just like, yeah, I mean, it depends on who 404 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: we want, whether it's Russell or Rogers. In their mind, 405 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: all of these guys want to play with the Steelers 406 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: because of the Steelers. I don't really think that's the case. 407 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll I'm sure they'll make the call and 408 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: see if those guys would want to play at Pittsburgh. 409 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 1: But I don't think it's as open and shut as 410 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,199 Speaker 1: Steelers fans seem to think it. It's just like Oklahoma 411 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: nor Name fans can't fathom the idea that a coach 412 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: would leave their school to go to another college football program. 413 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 1: If you were an offensive lineman for pitt and Kenny 414 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: Pickett decided he didn't want to play in the Peach Bowl, 415 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,360 Speaker 1: how would you feel? I think I would understand it. 416 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: I would be disappointed if you know he wasn't gonna play, 417 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: because obviously he makes a huge difference in whether or 418 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 1: not you win. You've had an enjoyable season. It's the 419 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: first time Pitt's been in a big Bowl game in 420 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:53,000 Speaker 1: a while. I think I would be disappointed, but ultimately 421 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: understand it. I think it's interesting. I used to work 422 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: with Ed McCaffrey Dan on the radio, and he told me, remember, 423 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey was the first guy to skip a Bowl game, right, 424 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 1: the first guy? And Ed said something really interesting to 425 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: me that when they kind of laid out the pros 426 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: and cons, Christian McCaffrey actually talked to his teammates. He said, Hey, look, 427 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: I'm supposedly a top ten pick. You know I could 428 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: play in the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, which 429 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: sounds funny now, and play with you guys. But if 430 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: I get hurt like what happened to Jalen Smith and 431 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: the Fiesta Bowl, you never know. And what edds to 432 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,119 Speaker 1: me I thought was really interesting. His teammates were all like, 433 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 1: you better not play. You'd be an absolute moron if 434 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: you play with us in the Sun Bowl. So I 435 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 1: think guys are at the point now where they kind 436 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: of understand a little bit more. It does feel weird 437 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, when it's a quarterback and it's a 438 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: guy that's led a program like Pitt to a place 439 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: they haven't been in a while. If he was at 440 00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: Alabama or Georgia and played a different position, we wouldn't 441 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: even think twice about it. The reaction has been interesting 442 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: though the last twenty four hours. You know, Vegas, you know, 443 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 1: took it from a three and a half point spread 444 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: down to a pick him. You know, just the reaction 445 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: of people that you got to play in a bowl game, 446 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: or you shouldn't play in a bowl game, or he 447 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 1: has every right to set out if he wants to. Plus, 448 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: I wonder when he was on the show yesterday, if 449 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: the reaction is going to almost force him to play that, 450 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 1: you know, like, how can you do? You know, if 451 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 1: he's on the fence. I wonder if all this criticism 452 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 1: makes him go And I don't know if he's even 453 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: not playing in the bowl game. I just got a 454 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: sense and that's why I ask him the question. Yeah, 455 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: so two things on that. Number One, I do think 456 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 1: people look at the quarterback position a little bit differently 457 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: from a leadership standpoint, and I wonder how that will 458 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: be looked at by some NFL team. I don't think many, 459 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,880 Speaker 1: but there might be a few that don't love it. 460 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,239 Speaker 1: Number one, number two. Next time, Dan, you're gonna ask 461 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: him a question like that, Can you have Fritzie or 462 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: somebody texts me before the line moves by three and 463 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: a half points, That would really be a good one 464 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: for me to get the heads up on, you know, 465 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: before Vegas. Does you know what, Fritzie? Would you write 466 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: that down? Next time I ask a question that could 467 00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: affect the betting line, so noted, let you know, let 468 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: ross know. The Eagles quarterbacking situation. I find it interesting. Now, 469 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,919 Speaker 1: maybe it's not that interesting, but Gardner Minshew to me 470 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: can play. He's a better quarterback than Jalen Hurts. Jalen 471 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: Hurts is a better weapon, and there's a difference in that. 472 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: But I don't know if there's any quarterback controversy in 473 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,280 Speaker 1: Philadelphia team you know very well, right yeah. I do 474 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: their pregame and I spend a lot of time on 475 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: WIP there in Philadelphia. The first thing is, how is 476 00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 1: it possible, Dan, that none of these other teams traded 477 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: a sixth round pick. I agree for Gardner Minshew. I mean, 478 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: the Eagles had Hurts, they had Flacco, they traded a 479 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:08,919 Speaker 1: sixth round pick for Minshew to be the third We 480 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: got guys like Tim Boyle starting NFL games for the 481 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, and nobody wanted to give more than that 482 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,640 Speaker 1: for Minshew. Now, I personally don't think there's any controversy 483 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: regarding who starts the next game. Hurtz has been on 484 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,640 Speaker 1: a steady progression. He's played well overall. The Giants game 485 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: was his worst game, and that's the last time out, 486 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: so he has to play better. What I find really interesting, though, 487 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 1: is what this means for Nick Sirianni, the first year 488 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: head coach. What happens if Hurts struggles in the next 489 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: game against Washington. I mean, they have four games left. 490 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 1: If they go three and one or better, they're going 491 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. This creates an interesting dilemma for Sirianni. 492 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: If Hurts struggles like he did against the Giants, does 493 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 1: he give him the whole game? Does he give him 494 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: the first series of the third quarter. I mean, it's 495 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: not a mount in my mind. Who starts the next game. 496 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: It's how quick of a hook does Hurts have if 497 00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: he performs poorly. We're talking to Ross Tucker, host to 498 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: the Rons Tucker Football podcast, and he'll be on the 499 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: call for Army Navy that'll be on Westwood One this Saturday, 500 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: and that'll be a three eastern, your sixth Army Navy game. 501 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 1: That sounds right, favorite day of the year. Yea, if 502 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: I did three on the sideline with James Lofton and 503 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: Mayok in the booth and then then this will be 504 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: my third time in the booth. Dan my single favorite 505 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: day of the year. You know, It's funny. I'm from 506 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: near Philadelphia and that's where the game's usually played, and 507 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: people said, my whole upbringing, you gotta go to Army Navy, 508 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:44,920 Speaker 1: gotta go to Army Navots. And I was always kind 509 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, yeah, I'm sure it's great. But like 510 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: I I you know, I was a Penn State fan, whatever, 511 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: I had no idea. The thing I tell people is 512 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: it's a bucket list item, and that if you know, 513 00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: we obviously live in a pretty device of society. We 514 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 1: all know that it's polarizing. There's not a whole light 515 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:10,320 Speaker 1: a lot of respect between certain people. If you want 516 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: to have a day where you just feel like we're 517 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: all on the same team, we're all in this together, 518 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: and feel better about our country. The Army Navy game, 519 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: that's where it's at. Man, you go in that stadium 520 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: and just like like, we're gonna be okay, because even 521 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 1: though they're trying to kill each other on the field, 522 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: everybody in that stadium knows we're ultimately on the same team. 523 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: We're ultimately in this together. I would like if our 524 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: country could get back to that, remembering like we're not 525 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: political parties, like we're all Americans, we're all in this together. 526 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 1: That'd be nice. Yeah, it's emotional. It did is. It's 527 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: emotional anytime I've gone to West Point, and even now 528 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: thinking about it, when those cadets come in and you 529 00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: realize we talk about boy, this game is life and death. No, 530 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: they they're in a game that's life and death. You know, 531 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: this is fun for them. Army Navy is really important, 532 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: but their bigger picture is you know, they move on 533 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: to something that is truly life and death. And when 534 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 1: you see them come in, it's it's as if you 535 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 1: put everything to the side and it's a it's a 536 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,920 Speaker 1: wonderful moment, and I'm ending both of you you're gonna 537 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: be there this Saturday. Yeah then you just describing that 538 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: just gave me chills because the thing is inside the stadium. 539 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: It's a lot of alums, it's parents, and obviously it's 540 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: all the midshipment in the Cadets. Everybody in there has 541 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: sacrificed on some level, right, even if it's a family 542 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: member that goes in the service. They miss a lot 543 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: of holidays, they miss a lot. Everybody in there, in 544 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 1: one way, shape or form, has sacrificed for the rest 545 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: of us to be able to do what we can do. 546 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 1: And I'm in awe of the eighteen year olds that 547 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 1: sign up for nine years from eighteen to twenty seven, 548 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 1: at a minimum, they're gonna live a different life than 549 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: the rest of us live. Can't thank any of them enough. 550 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: And I tell everybody anytime you see a service man 551 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: or woman, say thank you, it's it's incredible. Thank you buddy, 552 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,320 Speaker 1: great to talk to you. I have fun this weekend. 553 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 1: Thank you. Take care. That's Ross Tucker, Russ Tucker Westwood 554 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: one CBS Sports Army Navy coming up this weekend, and 555 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter the records. When they get together, it's 556 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: just you know, expect the unexpected. But you know, it's 557 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: always this time of the year and the weather always 558 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: plays a factor. It feels like, but no, it's I know, 559 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: I harp on going to West Point, but you know what, 560 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: I'll continue to harp on it. You know, if if 561 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: you go and you have a different feeling, then you 562 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: let me know. But until then, I'll tell you if 563 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 1: you get the opportunity. Eventually, on a fall day, you 564 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: go like mid to late October. You got the Hudson River. 565 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,600 Speaker 1: You understand the history, you understand what was going on 566 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: there a hundred years ago. But if you can get 567 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: there early tailgating, but just walking the campus and just seeing, 568 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, some of these landmarks, it's really really spectacular 569 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: and you get you get a better sense, better feel 570 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 1: of what is going on in the real world, because 571 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: that is the real world. They're going to get out 572 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: into the real world, and for them, that means fighting 573 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 1: for us so we can live in what we think 574 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,440 Speaker 1: is the real world. Yeah, pulling the first time I 575 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 1: went there to an Army home game. The cadets work 576 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 1: the concession stands like even even that and that's like 577 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: a treat for them. They get the day off to 578 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,719 Speaker 1: like good day, get though worth the stands, and they 579 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: get the rest of the day. When I was talking 580 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: about the cadets because oh this is good because you 581 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: work the concession stand, you get personal time. I'm for 582 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: the rest of the weekend, and he goes, that's really 583 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: great to have. You don't get a lot of that. 584 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,480 Speaker 1: One of my son's friends played offensive line up there, 585 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,400 Speaker 1: and I didn't know that they're not allowed to turn 586 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 1: around and acknowledge the crowd that when you're on the 587 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: sidelines and I'm yelling at that. You know this guy 588 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,840 Speaker 1: who was my son's friend, and I'm yelling his name 589 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: top of my lungs. I'm thinking, damn, my voice carries, 590 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: and guys on the sidelines were saying to him, like Stephen, 591 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: like turn around. He wouldn't turn around, couldn't turn around, 592 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: not allowed to turn around. And so after the game, 593 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: I go, did you hear me? He goes, yes, I said, 594 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,680 Speaker 1: you didn't turn around. He goes, I'm not allowed to. 595 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: I go, oh, man, I'm sorry. He goes, yeah. Everybody's 596 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: saying hey, Dan Patrick, saying calling out your name, and 597 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 1: he just he looked ahead. I went all right, now 598 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,560 Speaker 1: I got that. Now I'll never make that mistake again. 599 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: I will come back.

I mean, we gotta 644 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:33,480 Speaker 1: scores forty seven to fifty one, that's all they could 645 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: score in a game because they want to shoot threes. 646 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 1: Be the Steph Curry of the game, and they just 647 00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: you know, and they Yeah, Steph Curry kind of ruined 648 00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 1: college basketball to me.

He 650 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: didn't go over real well with Tyrone Willieham as head coach, 651 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: being a black coach. How do you think this is 652 00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: going to go for Marcus Freeman. You know, they only 653 00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,839 Speaker 1: gave Tyrone Willingham like two years and he was out, 654 00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 1: and I'd just like to hear what you have to say. 655 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: I hope that they learn from that situation, and I 656 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 1: hope that they give him ample opportunity to prove himself. 657 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 1: You know, with Brian Kelly leaving, it's not like he 658 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: took with him the hurdles that you have as they 659 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: head coach there Notre Dame. It's still tough to get 660 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,919 Speaker 1: in everybody you want to get in, and you don't 661 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: have control over that, and I think that that will 662 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: continue to be a concern an issue for Marcus Freeman 663 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:36,879 Speaker 1: and Notre Dame. This is all about recruiting. That's all 664 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:42,439 Speaker 1: college football is recruiting. How many times do you say, boy, 665 00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,760 Speaker 1: that coach, out coach that coach. Usually you out talent 666 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,719 Speaker 1: that team, the team you're facing. Now, do I think 667 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,440 Speaker 1: Nick Saban can out coach, Yes, I do, but it's 668 00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,120 Speaker 1: probably a short list of coaches where I go, Damn, 669 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 1: he's just smarter, he's just better. That doesn't usually happen 670 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 1: in college. College is just I got all of these 671 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: guys and you don't. Eight seven seven three d P 672 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 1: Show email address DPA dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle 673 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: at dp's show. I was watching Billy Bush last night 674 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,920 Speaker 1: and his show, as I always do, and you know, 675 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: Access Hollywood Entertainment tonight. I don't watch those shows and 676 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,640 Speaker 1: they they showed j LO and Ben Affleck at the 677 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,000 Speaker 1: Lakers game, and they were seated next to one another, 678 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: course because they're in love. But I want to know 679 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: whose job it is to decide who gets to sit courtside, 680 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:41,439 Speaker 1: Because if Jack Nicholson wants to show up, Jack gets 681 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,080 Speaker 1: to sit where he always sits. But if Machine Gun 682 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,040 Speaker 1: Kelly shows up with Megan Fox and you have Ben 683 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:55,120 Speaker 1: Affleck and Jennifer Lopez and they you're trying to decide 684 00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:59,799 Speaker 1: between those two, how does that work? Because you could 685 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 1: you younger with Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox, or 686 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: you could you know, go a little older school with 687 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,759 Speaker 1: Ben and Jalo. Yeah, set, that's definitely someone's full time job. Yes, 688 00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: is managing that? I would think, So how many of 689 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: those seats are available for each game? And so I'd 690 00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:21,120 Speaker 1: be curious, So what's the window of I've got fourteen 691 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: seats and I've got thirty people who want to show up, 692 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,840 Speaker 1: forty people who want to show up in those seats gampling, 693 00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 1: And I wonder how it worked if it's an hour 694 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 1: and a half before tip off and Jennifer Lopez's people, 695 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: her people in affles Field call, they're getting seats, right, 696 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: They're of that ilk. I would think so, But I 697 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: don't know who makes that decision, because I'm gonna guess 698 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: you probably ruffle some feathers there when you go. And 699 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 1: then how do you decide when somebody is worthy enough 700 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,640 Speaker 1: or they're not worthy any longer? Because you're going to 701 00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: decide before they know that they're not worthy anymore. You're like, hey, 702 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: I made it court side seats. Yeah, Paul, here's an example. 703 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: I'll give you. You're the I'll make you the Laker 704 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,719 Speaker 1: court sides are Dad. Okay, it's an hour or four 705 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 1: game time and you have two calls on hold for 706 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: the last two tickets. Hello Laker tickets Adam Sandler and 707 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 1: David Spade or Taylor Swift plus one and you don't 708 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 1: know who the plus one is. So Taylor Swift and 709 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: her boyfriend, whoever that may be, yes, or Sandler and 710 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: Spade want to go to a game they have free 711 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 1: last minute be honest, Well, yeah, but you have you 712 00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: know Sandler. I'm not gonna lie it sound like I 713 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: have anything hinges on this. I would have Saidler and 714 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,359 Speaker 1: David Spade because Sandler, to me is a guy who 715 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,359 Speaker 1: shows up at Laker games and there's a track record there, 716 00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift may be one and done. As much as 717 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,880 Speaker 1: I loved Tay, I'm gonna have Sandman and David Spade 718 00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,879 Speaker 1: yes time. But that might be the reason to give 719 00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: it to Taylor because it's such a rarity, it's such 720 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,480 Speaker 1: a big deal. There'll be other opportunities to see Saidler 721 00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,399 Speaker 1: in Spade and get them seats to a game. I'm 722 00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 1: just telling you, Ton, I'm loyal, okay, and I'm gonna 723 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,800 Speaker 1: give it to Saidler in Spade. I appreciate that day. 724 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,560 Speaker 1: I love my basketball. Yeah, but no, I would have 725 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,320 Speaker 1: I would say to uh, Taylor Swift, Um, you know 726 00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:20,880 Speaker 1: I can get you seats, but you're not going to 727 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:26,640 Speaker 1: be front row. I mean you're no Beyonce lows behind 728 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:31,279 Speaker 1: the backboard. Yes yeah, Paul, Okay, let's say your phone rings, 729 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 1: You're hello. Laker tickets Beyonce plus one, Leonardo DiCaprio plus one. 730 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, but I'm gonna guess. I mean Beyonce is 731 00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 1: a big basketball fan. Leo is I think a big 732 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,920 Speaker 1: basketball fan, or at least played a basketball player in 733 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:57,360 Speaker 1: a movie. Um m hmmm. I would probably go Beyonce. 734 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: That would be a toss up where I would just go, 735 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 1: you know what, I like seeing Beyonce courtside more than 736 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,719 Speaker 1: I do Leo. Yeah, I'm a club. I have the 737 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,440 Speaker 1: most followed people on Instagram or any of these, like 738 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,920 Speaker 1: number one and two are actually Christiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messy. 739 00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: Do they play into this? And then Kylie Jenner and 740 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,239 Speaker 1: The Rock, Well, the Rock definitely gets to sit there 741 00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 1: if he wants to. The Jenners might be dating somebody 742 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: on the floor. Yeah, maybe it's not that difficult, Yeah, Paul. 743 00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 1: How about Jeff Bezos? Maybe not as famous visually, I 744 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,319 Speaker 1: would say no, but then he could buy you well, 745 00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: then buy me a right, But I'm gonna say no, 746 00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 1: just out of principle. Then it might be Elon Musk too, Yeah, 747 00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: and then who do I have? Elon Musk is worth 748 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,359 Speaker 1: more than Jeff Bezos? Do I have Elon Musk there? 749 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,040 Speaker 1: I would have both of them sit in the second row. 750 00:42:55,880 --> 00:43:00,600 Speaker 1: I'd be like, no, you can't buy this, Yes, Robert Jr. 751 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 1: Or Oprah? Okay, well, I don't know the history with 752 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,759 Speaker 1: Robert Downey Junior going to a Laker game. Because I'm 753 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: going to be loyal to my fan base here. Um, 754 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Oprah because I think even Robert 755 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 1: Downey Junior would say, what are you doing? Go with Oprah? Yes, okay, 756 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 1: let's go younger.

Then dyah, courtside is gonna get a 759 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,360 Speaker 1: lot of attention. Yeah, yeah, I would have them sit courtside. 760 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: But who like, you can't say well you could sit courtside. 761 00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:44,719 Speaker 1: It's who is not going to sit courtside?
