WEBVTT - 12/18/20 HOUR 3- Bill Plaschke 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.880 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Meet Friday. Trigger grills 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:12.200 all fired up. So is Fritzie and myself yours truly 0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:15.040 Dan and the Dane's Dan Patrick Show. The other dan 0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:18.560 's not here and that means more for Fritzie. Fritzie goes, 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.000 could I have the espresso coriander rubbed beef tender loin? 0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.400 And I go, yes, you can. It's exactly what I said. 0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:26.759 I don't want to overstep my bounds. But there's I 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.360 got my eye and a few different things out there. 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.760 I said, if you came in and it's really cold 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.559 and it's icy black eyes, there was a little slippery, 0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:35.279 I mean, and I want to make a big deal 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.199 about And then he said, if I get the espresso 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.040 coriander rubbed beef tender loin on the trigger, could I 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:45.159 also get the balsamic Brussels sprounce with bacon. And I said, yes, 0:00:45.200 --> 0:00:47.720 I can do that as well. So this is a 0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:50.599 feast for Utad Mick and dreams come true, my new 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.840 best friend. We've touched on it well. We've had a 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.440 variety of topics here, including one that Todd's son Jordan 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.440 is going through a knee surgery this morning. I'd wanted 0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.000 to know. So he came to the expert and he 0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.240 asked me. He said, well, are they going to open 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:06.280 up his knee? I said, no, they're just little incisions. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.520 He goes, well, like, what do they look like? And 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.640 so I pulled down my pants to show him my 0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:14.000 incisions that were I know you did, but I wasn't 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:17.040 prepared for. Look, it's a tutorial. It's a it's a 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:21.280 learning moment for master class knee surgery thing. Yes, so 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:23.800 I pointed out where I have my incisions and then 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.560 I have the big scar when they open it up 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.440 to give me a new knee. One of our fans, 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.200 Ryan says, I turn on the show and usually I 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:34.679 have all weekend to watch the show or listen to 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.360 the show if I miss it. First thing I hear 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.680 is Dan pulling down his pants in front of Fritzie. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.840 Context is everything. Now, sometimes it's better to not have 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:46.240 context on this show. But yeah, Todd, I did point 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.440 out some things and I let him know this is 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.440 probably what it will look like for your son. But 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.080 he should be fine, right, appreciate. I don't know why 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:53.600 you weren't sort to rush to pull your pants back up. 0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.480 You're take your time, But that's for another day. The 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.640 big news is Drew Brees is going to play against 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.000 the Kansas City Chiefs. That number one seed overall in 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:08.239 the NFC is really important. But Drew Brees has been 0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:13.440 medically cleared and they're gonna have the interesting matchup Drew 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:17.760 Brees matt Patrick Mahomes the Saints back in twenty seventeenth. 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:20.920 We're gonna take Patrick Mahomes from what Sean Payton told me, 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.079 the eleventh pick, Kansas City went up and got him. 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.560 The Saints then drafted Marshawn Lattimore, who will be covering 0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:33.680 Tyree Hill coming up this weekend. Diana Russini covers the 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:36.320 NFL for The Mothership, said the Saints knew on Monday 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.799 or Tuesday that they were going to start Drew Brees, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.720 but nothing leaked out, and then she says that locker 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.720 room is incredible. I don't know if that's done anything 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:48.400 to the point spread, Can we check McLevin and see 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.040 what the game was and Drew Brees coming back. Has 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.760 that changed the number at all? Yeah? McLevin, right now 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:57.360 I have Chiefs minus three. Do you think it should 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:03.080 change it. If it does, maybe a half a point. 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.040 I don't know if it'll be much, if anything. Yes, 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:08.880 mc clevin, is it crazy that I kind of wanted 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.280 to see Taysom Hill against the Chiefs just to see 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:15.200 what would happen. Did he have a shot? It felt 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.040 like a ball control offense against Kansas City? Is what 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.000 you want? Can Taysom Hill sustain drives? Is he consistent 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.160 enough to sustain some drives against Kansas City? Kansas City 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.359 will keep you in the game. You know, they don't 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.840 run away from you, they don't blow you out. And 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.640 if the Saints have that moment where they can maybe 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.080 have a chance to win the game, you know, do 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:37.400 you want Taysom Hill in there, a healthy Taysom Hill 0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.840 or do you want a sort of healthy Drew Brees 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:43.640 in there? You know, there was talk maybe Jameis Winston 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.680 was going to get a chance to start in this game. 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.280 Which what's kind of strange because you're thinking, I thought 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.760 they had decided Taysom Hill is the quarterback of the 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:56.560 future here except for the immediate future against Kansas City. Yes, point, 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.720 how weird that I have been. We just got done 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.760 watching Marcus Mariota on Thursday Night football and Jamis Winston 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.000 starting against defending Super Bowl champs in the same weekend. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.720 If I got throwback week a couple of phone calls, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:09.680 we'll get to that. Mclevland. Let's run down some of 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.520 the games this weekend, and I'll give you my thoughts 0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:15.840 on some of these matchups here. Okay, I'm really curious 0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:19.479 New England at Miami. The Dolphins are two point favorites. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.280 Is this I mean? Is New England gonna play spoiler here? Well, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.800 they have no choice, yeah, but this would be the 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:31.760 end of the Patriots season now for sure losing this game. 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.719 But this is where you want to see Miami, you know, 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.120 act like a playoff team here. You're supposed to win 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.800 these games. Act like a playoff team here, and they 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.560 certainly have given the impression that they are a playoff team. 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:45.400 This is where I'd like to see something a little 0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.760 more special out of TWA this weekend. But you know 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.479 how rookie quarterbacks fair against Bill Belichick? That is not 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.039 a good list to be on. What else do you have? Okay, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.760 a couple of NFC East games. Cleveland at the Giants, 0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.799 Cleveland six point favorites, and the Cardinals host the Eagles, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.920 also six point favorites. Either these NFC East teams surprise 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:10.840 you in this game. It seems like a big number 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.600 for the Browns to be playing the Giants in New 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:19.440 York just feels like that. I think people are still 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.600 waiting to buy into the Cleveland Browns, and I don't 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.200 know if you know, it feels like this is still 0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.520 a wait and see and probably will be for the 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.600 rest of the regular season. I'd rather have Colt McCoy 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:34.320 in there than Daniel Jones because Daniel Jones doesn't take 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:36.760 care of the football. Is he a better quarterback, more 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.640 talented quarterback? Maybe, But I trust Colt McCoy right now. 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:44.200 You know in December whether I want you to be 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:47.719 able to hold on to the football. Don't try to 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:52.240 do anything extra here, play conservative, they play hard. That 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.599 seems like a pretty good number. I am curious about 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:01.360 Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray that matchup and just how much 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.039 fun that could be. I don't know how good the 0:06:04.080 --> 0:06:06.360 Eagles are, but the Cardinals, you got to win this game. 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:10.560 You know, they absolutely have to win this game. Washington 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:13.559 has been the team that truly looks like a team, 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.200 but if Alex Smith is not quarterbacking, they're not winning. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.360 And you know they're probably not winning anyways with Seattle, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:23.119 but that is a that has become a good team 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.880 and a good, very good defense. What else do you have? 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.200 Are we gonna have to watch Bucks at Atlanta? That's 0:06:30.240 --> 0:06:33.520 a six point spread for the Bucks. Yeah, you've been 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:38.400 kind of ad Atlanta lately. Well, this is in this matchup. Historically, 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.560 the team that's not supposed to win wins usually at 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.400 least one of the two matchups, and then they play 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.680 each other twice here and I would expect Atlanta to 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.880 win one of these games. I think we're taking a 0:06:50.920 --> 0:06:54.520 wait and see approach with Tampa Bay. I don't know, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:57.279 like we spend so much time early in the season 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.680 and then we sort of backed away from them just 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:03.720 to kind of we'll revisit this, and it feels like 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.240 I'm not quite sure just how good they are. What else? 0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:15.560 Texans at the Colts seven point five, Indie. I'd like 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:19.480 to see the Colts continual momentum and prove that they're 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.520 you know, one of the you know four or five 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.960 six best teams in football right now. Texans, you know, 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.240 they go as de Shaun Watson goes and I would say, 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.320 you know, I like the Colts. The Colts running the football, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:40.080 playing good defense. There last one for you, Rams slight 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.960 favorites over the Jets. I got seventeen and a half 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.080 the Jets. Are the Jets done? Is at o and 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:50.360 sixteen and Trevor Lawrence, I think, you know, you just 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.280 got to make sure you don't allow the Jets to 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:55.040 stay in the game, because you know, we can laugh 0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.600 about the matchup, and this is where you let somebody 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:02.000 hang around and as long as they're not doing something 0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.480 stupid like an all out blitz on the final play 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.160 and then nobody playing deep coverage and then you bite 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.640 on a double move. You know, the Jets would have 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.760 won that game if they hang in there, you know 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.120 they could they win. Yeah, they have a chance to win. 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.520 But if I'm the Rams, put them away, put them 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:23.480 away early. Yeah, Paully. Rams have a big opportunity here. 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.440 They got an easy one this week. Then they have 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:27.800 Seattle in Arizona. They could take care of their division 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.800 and if they went three and oh they could. They 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:32.600 got some work to do. They need some help to 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:34.600 get home field. They have to win all three and 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.480 they need some help. That would be gigantic for them. Yeah. 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.840 By the way, last night, the Chargers beating the Raiders 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.760 in overtime, Derek Carr is out and I look, Raider 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.840 fans are turning on me here. They're like, why do 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:49.080 you always want Derek Carr out of there? I said, 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.040 I don't want him out of there. My job is 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:56.240 to look at a situation and go, is Derek Carr 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.040 going to be your quarterback for the next couple of years? 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:01.960 You win forty million dollars, you can get out from 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.000 underneath that if you wanted to, And it's two and 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:07.960 a half million dollars dead salary cap money, that's it. 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.720 If you wanted Mariota to stay in there, and you 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:13.960 want to look at a quarterback in the draft, So 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.920 it's not crazy to say it. I don't want people 0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.520 to go you know, you're always talking about Derek I 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.160 like Derek Carr. Derek Carr has been good. He's been 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:26.719 better than the critics have given him credit for. But 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.400 with John Gruden, I never know what he's thinking. It 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:34.120 feels like whoever is his quarterback is not the quarterback 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.320 he wants or he likes. But Derek Carr got injured 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.640 last night. I don't know. They said, as you know, 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:42.120 a serious groin injury. I don't know if that means 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.880 Marcus Mariota is going to play the rest of the year. Maybe, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.360 but I don't go out of my way to go. 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.400 Boy the Raider has got to get rid of Derek Carr. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:54.439 I just know John Gruden, and that's part of the 0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.200 process here, the equation of trying to figure out what 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:03.640 John want. They have that's a good offense. I don't 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.800 know if bringing into you know, young quarterback, rookie quarterback 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.800 changes things. I would stay with Derek Carr, but you're 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.880 paying him a lot of money, and every head coach 0:10:13.920 --> 0:10:18.319 wants to find a Justin Herbert, a Joe Burrow, somebody 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:19.920 that I can go. I can I don't have to 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:23.480 worry about my quarterback for the next five years at least. Yeah. See, 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.440 Bruden doesn't exactly feel like the coach that are like 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:29.880 a modern coach that a young quarterback wants to go 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.959 play for, though I wouldn't, you know, like it just 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:35.400 didn't really have that vibe at all. No, but when 0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:38.640 he used to do those uh Gruden camps, the workouts 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:42.600 with the young quarterbacks like he he loved Johnny Manzel. 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.280 He loved those young quarterbacks. But I don't know if 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.440 game's on the line, you got that young quarterback out 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:52.120 there that you want to you feel that confident. You 0:10:52.120 --> 0:11:01.520 guys love that. Z An Why Banana? Banana? Why? Jesse? 0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:04.439 And Los Angeles joins us Jesse, Good morning, What is 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.439 on your mind today? Hey? DP, Happy pog Zooby Friday 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:10.960 to all. And as Jeff and Detroit said, you guys 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.560 need more to a nation than you'll ever know. But 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.800 I want to save first that there's no way Clemson 0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:19.400 or Notre Dame drops out because Florida just lost to 0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.920 unranked LSU at home and they dropped one spot. But 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.079 you mentioned yesterday that your source who works in college 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.600 football doesn't want a stinker. They say they don't want 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.319 a stinker game in the playoffs. So for their reasons, 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:33.760 that's their reason for not expanding and going including the 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:37.000 smaller programs. And to help disprove that, I was wondering 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.760 if you'll fire up the heavy metal stat of the 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:53.240 day for me. All right, here we go. I've ran 0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:55.760 through the numbers of all the college football playoff games 0:11:55.760 --> 0:11:58.880 since twenty fifteen when it began, a total of fifteen games, 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.760 and of those tween games, eleven we're decided by seventeen 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.280 points or more. Six of those were decided by twenty 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.200 seven points or more, so seventy three percent of the time. 0:12:08.320 --> 0:12:20.600 If they'll blowout, well done there, just thank you, thank 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:22.679 you for the phone call. Yeah, we keep talking about 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:26.120 No Cincinnati, they'd get blown out a coast of CAROLINAA Texas, 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.560 A and M got blown out against Alabama, what was it, 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:31.840 fifty two to twenty eight. We have blowouts all the 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.880 time in the final four, even during the regular season. 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.160 You know, these one verses. I think A and M 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.760 was fifth in the country at the time. Get blown out. 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.800 It happens. But we're so worried for the sanctity of 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.480 college football that if Cincinnati gets in there, they're getting 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:53.960 blown out. Yeah, and so is Notre Dame, Clemson, A 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.680 and M. Yeah. Point, And like you've said, you could 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.240 take away that risk by have an eight team playoffs. 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.440 So Cincinnati Alabama is the first round and if they 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.480 whax Cincinnati, the second round is Alabama versus Clemson, Alabama 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.600 versus Georgia Norre Dame. You still have those blue blood games, 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.160 but you have the opportunity for upset. In Week one, 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.640 Terry Bradshaw had high praise for Justin Herbert following last 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:23.600 night's performance. Terry says, he's got great insight into how 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.559 to read the coverages. He's accurate as all get up. 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.720 He really snaps the ball. In other words, there's a 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:33.360 lot of spin on that ball. So impressed, So impressed. 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.400 This guy looks like he'll be there. He's a lock, 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:40.040 he's an lay, he's a Marino. If you're a Charger fan, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:44.439 you should be excited about future this team. Like Terry 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:49.640 Bradshaw impersonation, that's a little overboard with Terry, but that's okay. 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:53.600 I like Terry's enthusiasm there. But yeah, by all accounts 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.800 what he's doing, he's going to have the most passing 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:59.200 yards and most touchdowns for a rookie quarterback in history. 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:02.319 That's a great start if you're a Charger fan. At 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:04.440 the end of this season, when you look back and 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:09.680 you go, but we have Justin Herbert. Uh, I don't 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.680 think McLevin says uh not everybody's all in on my 0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:18.920 LaMelo ball. Shout out, get on the bandwagon, LaMelo. Well 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.800 I'm just saying, it's three preseason games, and you said 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.800 that's he's already more productive than Mondo. He hasn't played 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:28.280 a real game. He's living up to the hype that 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:32.320 we had for Lonzo ball. There's a difference how in 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:39.920 three games. I'm just saying, watch him play. Just this 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:44.280 is a ball worth grabbing onto and holding onto. It 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.240 doesn't strike you as premature. I totally listen. I'm all 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.480 in on the LaMelo Okay, worry. I think he's awesome, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.440 but look, you just crazy. Yeah, but you criticize me 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.560 because I wasn't all in on Justin Herbert as he 0:14:55.640 --> 0:14:58.560 was coming out of Oregon, And uh, I'm all in 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:03.520 on LaMelo ball. So I'm I'll raise my hand. Maybe 0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.440 I'm the only one all in on LaMelo ball. But 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:07.240 I told you I watched him since he was a 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.000 freshman in high school. He is undisciplined, or he has been, 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.200 but he is a matchup nightmare at that size with 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.320 his ball handling ability left right handed, his shot is 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.680 better than his brothers, but then so is mine. He 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.600 actually you have to guard him and they may not win, 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.800 but he is He's worth tuning in to watch MS O'Connor. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.000 I don't want to, you know, ruin the love affair here, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.760 But have you noticed just how much space is between 0:15:38.920 --> 0:15:41.960 his hand and the ball when he's taking a shot? Oh? 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.800 Right here, his palm is right on the ball. There's 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.600 absolutely no space whatsoever when he takes a shot. So 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.080 I don't know how much time you've spent breaking down 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:56.640 his form, but there's some flaws. I'm trying to let 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.400 his dad have a teaching moment with his son, since 0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:04.120 his dad knows more basketball than I do. But this 0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:06.280 is a pet peeve of buying. When are you're doing 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.080 that wrong? Yeah? I know when you shoot, the ball 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.000 does not rest on your palm. It should not rest 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.680 on your palm. It's a finger. You shoot with your fingertips. 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:22.239 And LaMelo, we got some work to do on the shot. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:26.400 But you talk about a off the dribble, get to 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.520 the hoop or make a great pass. He can do it. 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.480 I don't think he's not the defender is brother a. 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:36.880 Lonzo is a good player. He's just never going to 0:16:36.920 --> 0:16:39.480 be a great player because he can't shoot. But he 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:43.040 does play defense, rebounds, and he does see the floor, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:48.400 and he's unselfish. LaMelo can be LaMelo can be special. Now, 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:51.640 I said at mclovin, all right, Oh, I can I 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:53.840 get your shooting cop? Does he shoot a little bit 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.400 like Trey Young? Just sort of low release from fifty 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:01.000 seven feet away every time he comes out of the court. Um, well, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.359 Trey makes it, so there's a difference there. Hey, LaMelo 0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:06.600 made him last night. He made a couple, but he 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.920 was wide open. He had two in the corner that 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.800 were they were wide open. You know, like, I can't 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:16.879 go while you made a wide open three. You should 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.840 be able to do that. Yeah, Polly, you know, maybe 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.600 you could have some guys in the back edit up 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.720 some Ray Allen tape and show him how not to shoot. 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.399 You could send it over to him, Dan say this 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:29.159 is out. I just said to Ray okay, And I 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:30.959 was just gonna say, in fairness to me, I just 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:33.399 said to Ray you got You got the ball on 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:37.760 your palm your hand. Unbelievable, I know, but I like it. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.679 When it's on your fingertips, you get the rotation, you 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.359 get the spin. You can't control it when it's on 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.640 the palm of your hand. His face when you said 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:48.639 that to him was one of the funniest reactions. I've 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.159 ever said, you know you're doing that wrong, right, and 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.520 he's looking at it. He was like what he held 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:54.720 the ball right by me. So Ray Allen one of 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.480 the you know, top five shooters of all time. It 0:17:57.520 --> 0:18:00.760 could have been top two if he had listened to me. Yeah, 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:03.440 But he had the ball and he was resting on palm. 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.600 I said, you're doing that wrong. He goes, what what? 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:09.159 I go? Yeah, I should be able to put my 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.159 finger in underneath the ball and palm. He goes like 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.440 he it. You know that wasn't a good appearance when 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.560 Ray joined his because I said that. And then Paulie 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.919 knocked the ball away from Ray as he dribbled past him, 0:18:22.480 --> 0:18:24.960 and uh didn't strip him of it, but he knocked 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.320 the ball away from him. Yeah, Pa, do you think 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.280 Ray Allen late at night is in a ball in 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:31.240 a corner going what could have been? I could have 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.439 been the greatest because I used to I used to 0:18:33.520 --> 0:18:35.560 line my bed and I would just shoot at night. 0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:37.280 I would just be there like that. I wonder if 0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:40.399 Ray is doing that where his wife's going? Ray, Ray, 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.439 come on over, you gotta go to bed. Yes, yes, 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:45.520 he made a special trip into the studio. I know, 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.359 I know, national radio team. I gotta bring him in 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.000 again and just apologize and let him shoot on our 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:56.600 new basketball court here. Yes, he It's like our intensity 0:18:56.880 --> 0:18:59.359 was at a ten and his was more at like 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.120 a five and a half. You know, hey probably left 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:05.280 there like, what the hell's with those guys? Right? Chill out? 0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.000 I saw it. I had to say it. Do I 0:19:12.119 --> 0:19:16.840 regret it? I do? Why did you have to say it, Todd? 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.320 I saw it. I had to say it. But there's 0:19:20.320 --> 0:19:21.760 there's a thing called the inner voice. There's a lot 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:23.359 of things if we think in the world that we 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.520 choose not to verbalize for various reasons. That was one 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.399 of our listening to yourself. Yes, no, you're not. I 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.880 was the one that said suggestion box instead of verbalize. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:35.280 Are you writing that your inner voice? You never listened 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:37.280 to your interview. I could edit myself a little bit 0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:44.400 over times. Yes, we can bring down anybody. Anybody could 0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.040 cut The most successful person in the world can come 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.840 to our studio and we'll chop him. The fact Montana 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.880 came on, and that's when I had to tell Montana 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:58.480 that mccluvin called him a system quarterback success who is 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:01.880 mattered though Montana with the mcleven comment or Ray Allen 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.000 when I told him that he's doing it wrong shooting 0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:06.880 you know who was really upset and it was sneaky. 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.280 Went in Minnesota Super Bowl when mclovin and Eli Manning 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.320 was there and he was throwing past mclove and mcloven 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:16.720 goes just pretend him an Eagles defensive becco. Eli stood up, 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:19.399 and Eli is the most docile guy. He starts like 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.960 stretching his torso and his shoulders because he was gonna 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:23.879 hum it into mc. Yeah, he wanted to hurt you 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.439 throwing the football whereber. There was one guy who I 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:29.080 thought was gonna be mad, Alex Smith, because I said, 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.200 I'm not worried because you're not. You don't have mahomes 0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.440 Is armed, and we're like wow. Alex Smith was not 0:20:33.760 --> 0:20:35.840 unhappy at all. He seemed to be yeah, because he 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:39.480 got right after the show, he just found out he 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:42.000 had gotten a seventy five million contract, but he didn't 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:43.800 tell us.
