1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. We got our poll question. It's a pretty

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: blunt right to the point. You can give it to

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: a Seaton one more time. Why did Bruce arians step

5
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: down as the head coach of the Buccaneers? Health and

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 1: family or Tom Brady? How about a health family? This

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: is the right time? Or Tom Brady? Okay, all right,

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: let's bring in Rick Stroud covers the Buccaneers for the

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Times. How would you answer that poll question? Rick,

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: given those two choices, probably the second choice, which is

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: health family and this is the right time, because maybe

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: Tom Brady would prefer it. Listen. I don't believe in coincidences,

13
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: and I know, you know there's a lot of truth,

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and Bruce is very magnanimous here, But to just hand

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: over a super Bowl ready team upon learning that Tom

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: Brady is unretiring doesn't exactly past the smell test for me.

17
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: He seemed willing to coach Kyle Trask and blame Gabbert

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: for God's sakes. So you know all of this. I

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: think there's there's elements of truth to all of it,

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: But I know this organization and at some point the

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: Glazers would have had a meeting with Jason light We

22
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: know how influential Tom is. I don't think this is

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: totally on him, but they would have wanted to know

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: what the succession plan was. Look, he's going to be

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: seventy October thirty. He wasn't going to coach forever. So

26
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: there is an element of the timing of this makes

27
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: an awful lot of sense. Both are airings and for

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: the organization, they secure Todd Bolts for the next five years.

29
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: What do you think, Okay, Bruce's reasons are, why are

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: what that we know of, well that I know of.

31
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: It's really primarily he thinks it's the perfect time. He's

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: loyal to these guys on his staff. If he coached

33
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: this year and Brady plays one season, regardless of how

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: it ends, the band breaks up. Right, He's had these

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: guys in Case of Bulls thirty years, Clyde Christensen, you know, Armstrong,

36
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: all of them together. They go back to Temple for

37
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: God's sakes as players, many of them. And so you

38
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: know when Todd didn't get hired that that upset him.

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: He thought that both him and Byron left, which get jobs.

40
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: So this is a way to set up his friend.

41
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: What's what's really confusing about it is that that you

42
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: would do it in a year where you could win

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: another Super Bowl, which you think about his legacy, and

44
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe he's not that concern, but two super Bowl wins

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: really helps you with the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

46
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: He may get there anyway. He certainly has a legacy

47
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: of helping minorities in football and females as well. But man,

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: this there are very few head coaches, regardless of age

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: or health, that would that would cash in at this

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: point with the hand that he has with Tom Brady

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: coming back, So you have to think that Brady um

52
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: at least put his finger on the scale. If not,

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he outright demanded, but he certainly was

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: influenced by it. Bruce Arians will be seventy at the

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: beginning of October. Pete Carroll will be seventy one in

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: the middle of September. I was wondering about this, and

57
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: I'll take you back to when we saw Tom at

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: the soccer match in London with the Glazers, and at

59
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: the time I thought, I don't know if Tom's saying,

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, I've always wanted to go to a Manchester

61
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: United soccer match. Now's the time to do it. It

62
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: felt like maybe he was asking permission to be traded

63
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: to the forty nine ers. That was my original thought.

64
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: And then the other part was is he asking or

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: saying I'd like to come back and then asking for

66
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: some things when he comes back, not thinking that he'd

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: be asking for Todd Bowls to be elevated into the

68
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: head coaching position. What did you make of that meeting?

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: What do you think happened at that meeting and didn't

70
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: have an impact on what happened yesterday. Well, I'm told

71
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that trip was planned before his announcement, But again we'd

72
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: be naive to not think there was a reason he

73
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be with the Glaziers. The timing, you know,

74
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: was the day before he made the announcement on the

75
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: eve of free agency. He would have had to have

76
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: told them, and they didn't fact tell them long before that,

77
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: at least a few days before the announcement that he

78
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: wanted to come back. But you know, being in person

79
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: with the Glaziers, who he thinks highly up, they've said

80
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: no to him, never really and had listened to everything

81
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: that he's requested and granted it for the most part.

82
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: So again, I don't think any I don't believe in

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 1: coincidences Dan, not in this league, not in this lifetime.

84
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: You know, I've seen some pretty amazing things with this organization.

85
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: I saw John Bruden get fired three weeks after going

86
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: nine and seven, and you know, and winning a Super

87
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: Bowl a couple of years before that. You know, it

88
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: just never ceases to amaze me. But Tom Brady would

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: have had to have had at least at the very least,

90
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: would have granted his wish that this is okay with him,

91
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: if not more than okay. So I think everybody kind

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: of wins here in a way. Bruce Arians gets to

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: stay around the organization, he gets to drive his golf

94
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: cart around practice and help out wherever he can, and

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Top Boats gets to be a head coach. So I

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: think they're all pretty happy with that result. But come on, now,

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: we know Tom Brady's impact and influence on this organization.

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I was also wondering this that you've got Todd Bowles

99
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: getting another chance. He was the Jets head coach. Tom

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: has a great relationship with Byron Leftwich, his offensive coordinator,

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: whatever his title is, Why not get him promoted to

102
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: a head coach instead of time. Well, again, you mentioned

103
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: he does have a good grasp and a good relationship

104
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: with Byron Leftwich, but he also would know whether Byron

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,919
Speaker 1: Leftwich is ready to be a head coach. Again, if

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about Tom Brady's influence and input, if you

107
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: ask Tom Brady, I would assume he would tell you

108
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: that Byron probably isn't there yet. I mean, they've had

109
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: to work through a lot of things. As an offensive coordinator,

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 1: I think Byron would tell you he's learned an awful

111
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,720
Speaker 1: lot of football from Tom Brady, who's done a good

112
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: portion of the game planning. Those two have worked together.

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: Bruce was not really part of that structure and as

114
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: much as it was his offense, but those two are

115
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: really the ones that have put this thing together offensively

116
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: to make it Brady's offense. So I think Tom would

117
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: know that of the two guys that were sitting in

118
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: front of him, that Todd Bowls, who has been a

119
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: head coach, he's watched his defense, that he's much more

120
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: prepared at this juncture, at least to lead his team

121
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. Look, I would This other thing

122
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: I want to mention is that it doesn't. The timing

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: is bad. But remember Tony Dungey did this too with

124
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: Jim Caldwell. You know, Tony Dungee had a super Bowl team.

125
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: It was the same guy, Peyton Manning. He walked away

126
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: and Jim Caldwell was a coaching waiting and they went

127
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 1: to a super Bowl. They didn't win it. So Tony

128
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: Dungey wanted to leave his team and his coach in

129
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: the best position possible. So it's not unprecedented with a

130
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: guy that worked right here at Tampa. It'll get even wilder.

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: The only way that gets stranger if Antonio Brown comes

132
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: back to the Buckingers. That's it. I was also wonder,

133
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: what is it that you think that Brady Brady maybe

134
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,240
Speaker 1: didn't want Bruce Arians to let let's just maybe it's

135
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: not being fair to the situation. But the hypothetical of

136
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: why Tom wouldn't want Bruce Arians as his head coach anymore,

137
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: that's a tough one for me because I again I

138
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: think him and Tom, from what we could see, had

139
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: a good relationship. Maybe he would require more hands on guy,

140
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, look, Bruce was a CEO head

141
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: coach here in Tampa Bay. He did not sit in

142
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: on every meeting. He did not stay until midnight, to

143
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: say the very least. Some details were probably you know,

144
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: left left to pass without being taken care of, especially

145
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: on offense. And you know, look who he played for,

146
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, who is an absolute control free Bruce was

147
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: not at that point in his career. He was not

148
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: going to do those things here in Tampa. He wasn't

149
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: that He mentioned he might call plays a little bit

150
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: during the offseason, but that really wasn't anything he was

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: interested in. And so I think that you know, Brady

152
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: would probably was probably surprised by Bruce's lack of input

153
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: at times. And all I could surmise is that, you know,

154
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: if he does have a problem, he said, he wants

155
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: somebody to be more on the details, hold people more accountable.

156
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: And and also you know there was some language too.

157
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: I mean, we remember some of the things Bruce said

158
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: about Tom. It was blunt, it was raw, even as

159
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: recently as the combine when he said he wouldn't trade

160
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: him for anything but five number one picks and that

161
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, sending him to another team would be quote

162
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: bad business. So you wonder how all those comments sort

163
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: of get back to Brady and how he receives them.

164
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: We had Bruce on December fourteenth last year and we

165
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: discussed retirement. This is how it went. Who retires first?

166
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: You were him. That's a good that's a good one.

167
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: We have to wait and see on that one way.

168
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: How a package deal, Yeah, but that might be a

169
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: good a good way to ride out together. It made sense.

170
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: And then when and I'm just joking because I didn't

171
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: have any idea, but I just thought, Okay, how long

172
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: is Tom play? How long is Bruce coach? And I

173
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: never would have thought that Tom would be playing longer

174
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: than Bruce would be coaching. Well, I mean technically Tom

175
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: retired first, then I'm retired, retired, and maybe Bruce will

176
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: I'm retired. I don't know. I don't know what retirement

177
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: means for anybody anymore. You'll have to get an answer

178
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: to that one. But yeah, it is. It is really

179
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: interesting that that it played out the way it did.

180
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: And I you know, again, I just don't think that

181
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: you walk away if you're Bruce arians I mean, you

182
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: got a gift from the gods. Tom Brady wants to

183
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: come back and quarterback your team. He comes in at

184
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: a time that gets all the free agents resigned, You're

185
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: ready to go. You have a WEEKENDFC. Really, when you

186
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: look at all the quarterbacks in the AFC, everybody him

187
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: saying that Andy Reid would coach till he's ninety as

188
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: long as Patrick Mahomes is there. That was Bruce's opinion.

189
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: So why Bruce would walk away now only he knows.

190
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: But I guess we got to take him out of

191
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: his word at least for now. Is he meeting with

192
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: the media today. I don't think Bruce is. I know

193
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: Top Bowls will be introduced as a head coach, and

194
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: so he's gonna you know, at this point, I think

195
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: he would fade the black. It's also interesting, Dan and

196
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: I love you know, I love Sam Farmer and Peter King,

197
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: but you know, cal b writer once in a while,

198
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: that'd be good. You know, at the end of the day,

199
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: he controlled the message. He got in front of the news.

200
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: He hadn't even contacted his players yet by text to

201
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: let them know before the news was, you know, was

202
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: coming out or was about to come out. So he

203
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: wanted to control this message. And I think that's telling

204
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: in it of itself. Is that your first question for

205
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: Bruce when you see him at a press conference. Why

206
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: didn't you give me the scoop? Absolutely? I thought we

207
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: had a good relationship. You know, I'll take a back

208
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: seat to those guys, but hey, I'm just there every day.

209
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: So not that I'm bitter, Dan not miss business. Can't

210
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: be better. You can't be bitter. You got to be better.

211
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 1: Let go. Thank you, Rick, great to talk to you again.

212
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: That's Rick Stroud covers the Bucks for The Tampa Bay Times,

213
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: host of sports Day Tampa Bay podcast. Yeah, if you

214
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: said a month ago, it's like, okay, Tom Brady retire. Now,

215
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: Bruce ariansas who was excited about Kyle Trask and blame Gabbert. Now,

216
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: I did like Kyle Trask and color you were a

217
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: trash guy. I was. I was, but he was excited

218
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: about the rebuild. And then I thought, okay, all right,

219
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: I like it, Bruce. And then the next thing, you know,

220
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: it's like, wait, Bruce, PAULI thought that Peter King got hacked.

221
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: And then PAULI didn't know how to spell arians. He

222
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: thought he was misspelling arians. Yeah, like that. The more

223
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: company I think I spelled, I think, and he's like,

224
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: I think Peter King got hacked, It says that you know,

225
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,599
Speaker 1: ru Sarians is retiring. Chefty didn't have it, Ian Rappaport, Glazer,

226
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Jay Glazer, and we're thinking, how does that happen? Then

227
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I go, oh, Bruce hand delivered this to Sam Farmer

228
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: and Peter King. Good for them, Yepp, it's Apple's and origins.

229
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: But it was a similar reaction at not on the

230
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: same level, but when Andrew luck retired, because Andrew Luck

231
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: was going into a season where we thought he was

232
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: kind of healthy and the team had a good offensive

233
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: line and seemed to be a contender. That's why it

234
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: didn't make sense when you saw the first report that

235
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Luckers are trying. I had the same reraction, like now

236
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: going into your probably your last season when Tom Brady did,

237
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: that does not equate. No. I could see Bill Belichick

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: retiring when Tom Brady left, you know, but when you

239
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: still have Tom Brady, you don't retire unless it's it's

240
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: health related, and hopefully it's not health related. With Bruce,

241
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: Andrew and Washington, Hi Andrew, what's on your mind? Hello? Oh?

242
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: Oh okay, great, good morning guys. Yeah, you're right. The

243
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: NFL is undefeated. It doesn't matter what was on in

244
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: the NBA. There were two good games last night, the

245
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 1: Celtics and heat Sons and Warriors both went down to

246
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: the last few seconds. And I do believe that Tom

247
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: Brady had more to do with Bruce Everyan stepping down.

248
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: I bet you it was one of those I'm going

249
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: to San Francisco or maybe if I stay, there's a

250
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: new head coach to the Glazers when he went out

251
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: to the game in Europe. But on that note of

252
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: maybe switching gears to the NBA and Charles Barkley coming up,

253
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: which I can't wait for. I love his interviews. I

254
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: do have a stat of the day for you, okay, Marvin.

255
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: For the month of March, Lebron James average thirty four

256
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 1: point three points per game. That's Lebron's highest scoring average

257
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: for a calendar month in his career and highest for

258
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: a Laker since March two thousand and seven, when Kobe

259
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Bryant average thirty eight point nine points per game. Well done, Andrew,

260
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: well done. That's a guy who knows how much time

261
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 1: is there and then practices his stat of the day

262
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: before he joins his Dan and Charlotte. Hey Dan, what's

263
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Hey Dan? First time long Time

264
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: six one two o five. So I have an idea

265
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: for the Limerick slash mock headline song, but it can

266
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: be more all encompassing for Todd show material. Oh okay,

267
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sing. Okay. So I've been doing

268
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: that thing people do when great artists die, where you

269
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: really dig into their catalog for a period after immediately

270
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: after to appreciate their contributions. So I've been listening to

271
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the Food Fighters a lot this week after Taylor Hawkins passed.

272
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: Ye and I remember you demoed Shame Shame on the

273
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: show before the new record came out last year. Yeah,

274
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: I think you could clip the chorus of that song,

275
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: which is just Dave Grohl saying the word shame three

276
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: hundred times in four minutes, and use it for every

277
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: Limerick mock headline or any Fritzya heavy segment. It may

278
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: not be the best with the Taylor, but it seems

279
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: perfect for Todd. All right, Well, thank you, Dan, I'll

280
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: look into that. Get some of my best people on that.

281
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: John and Buffalo, Hi, John, what's on your mind today?

282
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: Great Dan? Uh six two grandpap Pleasant two eighty five.

283
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: You touched out at briefly, but I can see the

284
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: Glazers coming back from London and sitting down with Bruce

285
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: and say it's great news. Tom's back. Bad news, so

286
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: is Antonio. No, no, not a watch well that no,

287
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't bring Antonio Brown still had had surgery.

288
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: He said that he'll have surgery if somebody's interested in

289
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: bringing him back. I would probably get the surgery and

290
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: then make sure that you let people know that you

291
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: can play. Not hey, we're interested. Would you have the

292
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: surgery now? That wouldn't be the way that I would

293
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: do it. Athena in Arizona joining us, Hi, Dan, how

294
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: are you hi, Athena? What is on your mind? Well?

295
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: I would like to submit a song, a little ditty

296
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: for the mock headline and limerick sections. Okay, all right,

297
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: here's Athena in Arizona. Let's take some time real quick

298
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: or sporty limerick or a mock headline. That's right, it's

299
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: time for Fritzie's fanny stick. Thank you, Athena. You just

300
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: imagine with jazz hands out. Yeah. I like that, well done.

301
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: I think we might clip that, might use that. I

302
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: like that. I don't know if people like your limericks

303
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: or mock headlines. I'm still not sure. I'm not sure either.

304
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: I think it's an opportunity for them to be creative

305
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: and they add their little aspects. I think they like

306
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: having fun at your expense, no question. Yeah, I don't

307
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: know if they're laughing with you or at you. I

308
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: think once in a while someone's sticking up for me,

309
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: but primarily it's a it's a yeah, see, oh dear.

310
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: I think Todd's really missing out on um and not

311
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: capitalizing on the Sports Center tease. I think that's really

312
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: the best use of his talents. I heard from a

313
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: radio executive who said, what Todd did when he does

314
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: his Sports Center headlines, the the what is it? The teases?

315
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: He said, his genius big time radio executive sent me

316
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: a note out of clear blue. He said, I know

317
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: you give Todd a lot of grief. Just want to

318
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: let you know the Sports Center teas is genius. And

319
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: I went, oh God, so there, I tell you good.

320
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: That's very fat. It's nice. There was that's appreciated. Yeah,

321
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: but I could hear like it sounded like ice cubes

322
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: in a glass and he could have been drinking. It's

323
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: quite possible. And he's a radio exact and it was

324
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: noon where he was, so he's probably a minimum. He

325
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: had some kind of buzz going, yes, made it's the

326
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: clarity of his buddy. But he did say that you're

327
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Sports Center teases genius. Very cool, very cool. Didn't say

328
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: your limericks or your my headline from there. Okay, I'll

329
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: take what I can get. That's cool, that's fine. Yeah.

330
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: He also said that you can't sing, but he did

331
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: say you your teas is genius. Apparently I can't talk either.

332
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: I've already looked four times today that is that is true.

333
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: But to that I would say, please really yeah, sorry.

341
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: NBA stats from last night. By the way, do you

342
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:57,360
Speaker 1: know who leads the NBA in both points? An assists points.

343
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 1: That's the tricky part of this, not average points. Trey

344
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: Young leads in both points and assist, and of course,

345
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: the only player to ever lead the league in points

346
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and assists was Nate Archibald back in eighteen seventy two

347
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: seventy three. Charles Barkley Hall of Famer Turner sports inside

348
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: the NBA and NCAA analyst. I'm thinking, maybe you hosting

349
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: the Oscars next year. We don't have any problems with

350
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: anybody coming on stage. What do you think, Chuck. That

351
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: would be a lot of pressure, brother, to handle that situation.

352
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: That'd be a lot of pressure. Listen. I love Chris Rock,

353
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: I love was Will Smith. Will was one hundred percent wrong.

354
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Let's just leave it right there. I don't want to

355
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: pile on, but I love Chris Rock, I love Will Smith.

356
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Or Will Smith was one hundred percent wrong. That's it.

357
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: But you've had more. It's where somebody says something to

358
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: you when you played. Yeah, And I was wrong When

359
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I think I've been arrested four or five times for

360
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: funching people, and I was wrong. It's not right to

361
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: meet you. Wrong, Dan, I was wrong. I think I

362
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: think I've been arrested four or five times. I can't

363
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: remember off the top of my head. And I was

364
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: wrong when I did it. It was an overreaction. Part

365
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: of our job is to get heckled and people say

366
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: stupid stuff for you. By the time I was twenty

367
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: five twenty six, and I was an idiot for overreacting.

368
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: Unless somebody physically come at you. You grow up. I'm

369
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: almost sixty years old now, and stuff you do when

370
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: you twenty five twenty six, when somebody heckled you, you

371
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: can't do it. That goes with the job. Yeah, I

372
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: know it's tough because I've been courtside and I hear

373
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: some of the things that are said, and I don't

374
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: know how you You just turned the other cheek. Yeah, listen,

375
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: unless they get personal, you just turned another cheek. I

376
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: mean you got to Yeah, I mean fans and listen.

377
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: Most of the fans are great, I've said to you before.

378
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: Of fans are great, ten percent of them are just

379
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: jackasses who are jealous and ain't and just mad at

380
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: you because you're successful. But you got to turn the

381
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: other cheek. Who would have thought that we're seven days

382
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: out from the start of the Masters and there's a

383
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: chance the Tiger which is going to be playing man

384
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: When I started following that, I'm not a knit with

385
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: I wouldn't fall in the plane. Everything. When I started

386
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: hearing their stuff, it was exciting. I don't know if

387
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: he can win, but it'd be fun they see him there.

388
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think just making the cut. I mean,

389
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: if he win it, it'd be like the greatest sports

390
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 1: story ever. I mean, it'd be crazy considering where he was.

391
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: But if he just makes the cut, it'll be an

392
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: incredible story. I think even if he teased it up Charles,

393
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: even if he plays one round, yeah, I mean, I

394
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: think he's gonna come back and play at some point.

395
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying, if he was able to make the cut,

396
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: it'd be a really cool story. How many times do

397
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: you played Augusta. I have never played Augusta. I've had actually,

398
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: you know, it's so funny. I was invited to play

399
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 1: one time when I was playing, but I couldn't make

400
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: it work because one of my friends was a puss.

401
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: So one of my friend's name is Neil Hartman, and

402
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: he was getting married Saturday night at six o'clock and

403
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,719
Speaker 1: I had a friend I was going to rent a

404
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 1: private jet. We were gonna fly to Augusta and play,

405
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: and he was too much of a coward. He's one

406
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: of my best friends. He was too much of a coward.

407
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: How to do it. We're gonna be back like three

408
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: to four hours in advance, and we didn't get to play.

409
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: And then I actually got an opportunity to play next Monday,

410
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: but the regular seasons ends on a Monday. I talked

411
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: to Arnie about it. The already told me to do it.

412
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,159
Speaker 1: I said, too much, So the season ends next Sunday.

413
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: I was invited to play the following Monday, but the

414
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: play in game starts on Tuesday, and I was like, yo, man,

415
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: I get off at two in the morning, I'd have

416
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: to leave at six tee it up, drive two hours

417
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: and then get back and do a game and next day.

418
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,160
Speaker 1: And I said, I'm just gonna wait until I because

419
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: I want to enjoy the experience. So yeah, I was

420
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: supposed to play next Monday, but I just can't make

421
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: it work. It's Charles Barkley, the Hall of Famer inside

422
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: the NBA analyst. Do you have an MVP boat? I

423
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: do not. Do you want one? And I don't care,

424
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: But let me tell you something. This is gonna be

425
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: You know I had MB for ninety percent of the season.

426
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I think the joker has probably taken the league. I

427
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: would love to see more love, more love for Devin Booker,

428
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: but man, it's gonna be really tight. I could say

429
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: the first five months of the season the Mbiad had

430
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: it and he's kind of slowed down. Joker has been consistent,

431
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: But like I said, I would love to see Devin

432
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Booker gets some more love in the situation. Is James

433
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 1: Harden hurting Joel Mbiad's MVP chances. You know, I wasn't

434
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: a big fan of the trade when it happened. I

435
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: think it's either gonna go down take one of the

436
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean, the six has got a two year window

437
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: to win it this year and next year, and that's it.

438
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really tight in the Eastern Conference because man,

439
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: I actually watched Boston play Miami last night. I don't

440
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 1: even think either one of those teams are gonna win

441
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: the East. I still think it's Miami. Excuse me, excuse me.

442
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: I think it's Milwaukee. I think Milwaukee is still gonna

443
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: win the East. Hey, listen, if somebody voted for Jannis

444
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: Anto the Kumpo, I would have no problem with MVP either.

445
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: But I do think it's well and Joker and if

446
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: Devin Bookers should get some love, but if Yannis wanted,

447
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: I would have no problem with that. But I think

448
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: they're a team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Yeah,

449
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I thought it was Embigs to lose.

450
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: But you know, I watch Jannis and he's competing against

451
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: himself what he does, like we're kind of measuring him

452
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: against himself, and I think we're we're take him for granted. Yeah,

453
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if we're taken for granted. I mean

454
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: they were struggling early with because of all the injuries,

455
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: and they're probably gonna and I think they're probably gonna

456
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: finish with the best record in the East. And if he,

457
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: like I said, Joia was playing at a hell of

458
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: a level before the James Harden's trade, and you consider

459
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: they had they were at the top three or four

460
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: without Ben Simmons. But listen, he has faded a little bit.

461
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: But I say, Joker has been there and he's keep playing.

462
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: He's playing at the same level. But like I say,

463
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: Devin Booker gets no love and he deserves some love.

464
00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: This is gonna be, in my opinion, product at close

465
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: since vote, since I got robbed by Magic Johnson in

466
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty six eighty seven. I'm still bitter, Dan, did

467
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: you think you got robbed? One hundred percent? I got

468
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: robbed because if you go back, it was the closest

469
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,880
Speaker 1: vote ever. And what bothered me about it was I

470
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: got all the first place votes and I didn't get

471
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: any second and third place votes, which was impossible. Like, wow,

472
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: if I don't get if I get all the first

473
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: place votes, the worst I'm gonna get his second and third.

474
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: So if you go back and look at the voting,

475
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: I got all the first place votes and then I

476
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: didn't get in a second and third place vote, and

477
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: I was really pissed about that. Okay, did you get

478
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: Was it more of a robbery that you didn't win

479
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: or that Shack lost to Steve Nash? Well, See, Shack

480
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent wrong in his argument. It never

481
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: and see this is like it's like when these guys

482
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: on television today who have no halla they put up

483
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: they argue about the Michael Jordan Lebron thing, and it's like,

484
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: quait a minute, there's no right or wrong answer. I'm

485
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: a Michael guy and I love Lebron. Lebron's amazing, but

486
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: these guys on television who have no talent argue about

487
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: stuff that's like, so it's a lose win proposition. So

488
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: I Shaq, it's always went to the guy who had

489
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: the best record in the NBA. It never went to

490
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: the best player. Michael Jordan was probably the best player

491
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: in the NBA for three years before he won MVP

492
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: because the team wasn't winning. But this argument is, Shaq,

493
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 1: the Phoenix Suns had the best record in the NBA

494
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: those years, with Shack a better player to Steve Nash. Yes, yes, yes,

495
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: but my Phoenix Suns had the best record in the NBA.

496
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: And if you go back and look in the last

497
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: thirty years, Magic wasn't better than Birds. Whoever had the

498
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 1: best record won MVPP. The same thing with Kobe. Kobe

499
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: probably should have won a couple more MVP because he

500
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: was better, but his team was mediocre. So this fake

501
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 1: argument they have every year who should get m VP.

502
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: Joel Joker, Devin Booker and Jannis. It's got to be

503
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: one of those four guys. If you vote for somebody else,

504
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: you're just trying to be contrary. Who does Joker remind

505
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 1: you of? Wow, that's a great question. Dan. You know,

506
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, because I don't know if we've ever

507
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: had a center who could shoot threes. He's probably the

508
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: best passing center ever if he reminded me as somebody

509
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: he's not as big as him, but probably as a

510
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: bonus so bonus in his heyday, was a great three

511
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: point shooter. He was probably the best passing big man

512
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: at the time. Joker man to shoot threes, his ability

513
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 1: to pass the ball. I don't know if we've ever

514
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: had a guy like him. And the thing that the

515
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 1: beauty of his game is, you know, we get so

516
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: named with guys who are athletic, Dan who they're very athletic,

517
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: but they can't play dead. I mean, you look at

518
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 1: the nbaam we got a lot of guys who can

519
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: run and jump, but they can't play dead. But to

520
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: be able to play as great as he is and

521
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: not really athletic, it's a testament of how great he

522
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: really is. Well, I see it. It's like when I

523
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: first saw Luca when he was playing in Europe and

524
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: he's playing against grown men, but it looked like he

525
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: was just getting by them, he was just getting his

526
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: shot off. But he was and I thought, God, don't.

527
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll get away with that in the NBA.

528
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if and but he does. He just

529
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: gets by you. He just gets his shot off. But

530
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: he's doing it against the best players in the world.

531
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Well he does that, you know. Kawhi Leonard plays like

532
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: that too. I mean he plays. They just play at

533
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: their own pace. Looker plays at his own pace. You

534
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: could never speed him up. They play, they get where

535
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: they want to go, and they make the play. That's

536
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: a great example. Luca. Luca's amazing, but he plays at

537
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: his own pace. He doesn't he doesn't look like he's

538
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: the most athletic guy in the world. Neither does Kauhi,

539
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: who's a great player also, But Joker is the same way.

540
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: I think all three of those guys are great, but

541
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: they always play at their own pace. You never see

542
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: them doing stuff like Kawhi made a dunk in Egg

543
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: in the place last year. Everybody went crazy because it

544
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: was the first time we saw him, like really go

545
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 1: crazy and dunk on the whole team. But other than that,

546
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: he plays at a steady pace. How tough is it

547
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: dealing with Kenny Smith on the set with North Carolina

548
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: doing well in the tournament. It's unbearable. It's unbearable. He's

549
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 1: just a pain in the ass. That's the only way

550
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: I could explain it. And the team is funny. He

551
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: is worse, way worse off camera than he his own camera.

552
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Like the other day. The other day he put his

553
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: little coffee cup up and put his feet up on

554
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: the desk, says, oh, this is a cakewalk. I just

555
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: need a cigarette right now. I mean, he but he listen,

556
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't matter it. Hey, when albur made it to

557
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: the final four, I was going crazy because, I mean,

558
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: we had never been to the final four and it

559
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: was it was one of the greatest things in my life.

560
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: Shining Alban in the final four. It was cool. But

561
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: but Kenny is making people duke fans there. That's that's

562
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: hard to do. No, you either a Carolina fan or

563
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: you're a Duke fan. Like one of our bosses, Sean,

564
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: he's the biggest Duke fan in the world, the big

565
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: boss at CBS, Sean mcas. Yes, yes, Sean mcmahness. But

566
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: he like he walks around and he comes in every

567
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: day and talks about I really need us to get

568
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: to the final four. He's and listen, that's the one

569
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: thing I say. Then I've been to the Olympics twice.

570
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: It's the greatest thing I've ever experienced. But there's nothing

571
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: like March Madness. It's the coolest event other than Olympics

572
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: I've ever been part of. And also Saturday at the

573
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: Found four it is one of the most amazing experiences

574
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: of my life. I mean, when you got twenty thousand

575
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: fans ends of each school, when that Saturday afternoon start,

576
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: there's nothing like Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon. Man, it's so cool.

577
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: Did Duker North Carolina recruit you? No, I wasn't. I

578
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: wasn't a nationwide recruit. I was small, remember, because I

579
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: grew from five ten to six to five in one year.

580
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: So I kind of came on the radar elate and

581
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: I got rescruited by it. I didn't. I didn't get

582
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: recruited by big SEC schools like Kentucky and in Georgia.

583
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it was pretty much Alabama, Arbur and UAB

584
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: and I made the best decision ever to go to Auburn.

585
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: It's great to talk to you, Hope. I hope you're

586

Speaker 1: you can spend a day at the Barklet House day?

608
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: All right? No, how many square feet do we have here?

609
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: I think it's twenty twenty thousand something like that. When

610
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: you don't know how many square feet you have, you

611
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: got too many? Well, you know, first of all, let's

612
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: get one thing straight. You're not coming into the main house.

613
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: You can either use my drive. I got a putting

614
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 1: green and driving range, and I got a tennis court

615
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,839
Speaker 1: in my backyard. You're gonna do the show. You're gonna

616
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: do the show probably from the tennis court, and you

617
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: when you have to go pee, you're gonna go to

618
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: the guest house. I'm not letting you in the big house. Well,

619
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: what's in the big house that you're worried about? Money?

620
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: Stock story? There's no trophies in there. Oh, that's a

621
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 1: couple of trophies, you know what. The only trophy I got, Okay,

622
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: the only trophy I got. Well, I got two gold

623
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: medals in there, and I got my MVP. Those are

624
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: the only three medals I never that I've ever kept

625
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: in my life. Yeah, but I can go to Michael

626
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: Phelps house and see all the gold medals I want.

627
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't care about yours. But listen, let me tell

628
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: you something. I love Phelps, but he don't have no

629
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: MVP trophy. Let me tell you something. If you melt,

630
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: if you melt all his all his goal, if you

631
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: melt all his gold medals, they won't be able to

632
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: make one MVP trophy. Don't get that? Wow? Wow? Well

633
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 1: I can always go to Jordan's house and see. You

634
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,360
Speaker 1: know he's got a few MVPs. Yeah, he got a

635
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: few MVPs. Does he keep his stuff out? Does he

636
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: have a display case? I don't know the answer to

637
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: that question because I haven't been to the new house

638
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: and in Jupiter. Okay, but just for the record, I

639
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 1: don't keep my stuff just sitting out. You haven't come

640
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: into espressial room. I don't listen. I'll stay in the

641
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: guest house. Okay, that's only way. You got to go

642
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. You're not staying at You're not staying anywhere.

643
00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: Oh we're not even staying on the property. No are you? Wait?

644
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: You can come to the house and do the show.

645
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: And I told you if you got to go to

646
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: the bathroom, where you're going in the guest house, you're

647
00:35:56,360 --> 00:36:00,080
Speaker 1: not coming in the big house. How about a I

648
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: did tour. Can we do that with no cameras? Yeah, okay,

649
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: yes you can do that. Damn. We went from a

657
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: you're not going to the Big Unit's house. He allow,

658
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: he don't allow anybody around him. He doesn't like anybody.

659
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: He doesn't like you know what. It's so funny. I've

660
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: had people ask me about Randy Johnson for like years,

661
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: I said, and Randy has always been great with me personally.

662
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: And I did, like, yo, man, he wasn't very friendly.

663
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: I said, Yeah, you probably shouldn't walk up to the

664

Speaker 1: Big Unit. Thank you, Chuck, have fun this weekend. All right, guys,

00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 1: Brandy Shamblely joins us on the program. Brando, if I

690
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: said to you a month ago, Phil Mickelson won't be

691
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: in the Masters and Tiger Woods might be in the Masters,

692
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: what would you have said? I wouldn't have been surprised

693
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: really and figured, yeah, I didn't figure Phil was going

694
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: to be in the Masters. I mean, I'm assuming you're

695
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: talking about after the fallout from Phil's comments at the Genesis.

696
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: I didn't feel a figure that Phil would be at

697
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: the Masters. But after watching Tiger Woods at the Father's Son,

698
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: what was that December of last year? And then also

699
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: the same week of Genesis, I saw somebody put out

700
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter that Tiger had walked up he had descended,

701
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 1: ascended the hill behind the eighteenth Green at Genesis without

702
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: any problem whatsoever. And that's it. You've ever been to Riviera,

703
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,320
Speaker 1: and that's straight up and that's about I don't know,

704
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: a hundred foot climb up there. And they said he

705
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: just clipped up that hill no problem. I thought, Well,

706
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: the combination of the shots he was hitting at the

707
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: Father's Son, the fact that he was able to get

708
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: up that Hill. It sounded me like he was gonna

709
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: he was gonna be back at the Master's. Every time

710
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,840
Speaker 1: I've talked about it, I've thought, I don't know, fifty fifty,

711
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: sixty forty, But it really doesn't surprise me. Having said that,

712
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: it'll be By far, the most dominant story is Phil suspended,

713
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: Like why is he not at the Master's. That's a

714
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: good question, you know, I would only be guessing it.

715
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: It seems like he's suspended. To me, it'd be hard

716
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 1: for him after the things that he said coming back

717
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 1: and go and okay, boys, let's have some fun, let's

718
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 1: play some golf, and looked like he was benefiting from

719
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 1: the world of professional golf after he, at least in

720
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: my view, tried to take a blowtorch to the whole

721
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:03,319
Speaker 1: PGA Tour in doing so in such a transparently greedy way.

722
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: But the PGA and the Masters have different set of rules,

723
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: So the PGA might have suspended him, but that'd have

724
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,439
Speaker 1: to come under the auspices of the Masters as well. Yeah,

725
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: exactly right. The four major championships are not run by

726
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: the PGA Tour. They have their their own set of

727
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 1: rules and ordinances, so to whatever extent. You know, I

728
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: doubt he's suspended from Augusta National. But along those lines,

729
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: I think for Tiger, or excuse me, for Phil to

730
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: come back and just play one event, and you imagine

731
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: if he showed up here, he would be hounded from

732
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: start to finish everywhere he went with questions about his comments.

733
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: It just would be and be a circus. And I'm

734
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: sure Phil doesn't want that. I'm sure Augusta National doesn't

735
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: want that. All right, when does Tiger have to make

736
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,799
Speaker 1: it official that he's going to tee it up? Well,

737
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: he's He's officially listed on the website of Augusta National

738
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: as as in the field, so it can't get any

739
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: more official than that. I suppose, you know, he the

740
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: idea of him coming up here to play was to

741
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: see if he could walk the golf course, you know,

742
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that's sensibly what everybody was thinking

743
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: about what he was doing here. And if he couldn't

744
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: do it and couldn't compete and couldn't hit the shots,

745
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: he I think would have withdrawn by now. So you know,

746
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty darn good chance we're going

747
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 1: to see him walking these fairways come Monday or Tuesday

748
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: next week. Have you seen him? I haven't. I am

749
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: just the video. I saw a video of him posted.

750
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: A friend of mine played in front of him at

751
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,759
Speaker 1: his golf course town in West Palm Beach said he

752
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: turned around and he said, he looked like he was

753
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: walking fine. He wasn't in the cart. He was walking

754
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: the golf course. He looked like he was swinging fine.

755
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,480
Speaker 1: You know the shots that he hit at the father's son.

756
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if you were watching that event,

757
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: but I mean that event outrated many of the rounds

758
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 1: of the majors last year. Not all of them, but

759
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: some of them. Just just a hitt and giggle with

760
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods and Charlie out rated major championship events. And

761
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: he hit some stunningly good shots and had plenty of

762
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: ball speed. I thought, maybe he's showing up, and he'll

763
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: do the ceremonial first team with Jack Nicholas and then

764
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: he and his son maybe you know, they his son

765
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: gets to play the part three and Tiger gets to

766
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: caddy for him, like he's he's going out there to

767
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 1: try to win this tournament. You know, when he played

768
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: when he shot up here in twenty nineteen. I mean

769
00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: by then we had already seen everything we needed to

770
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: see pretty much to know that his game was pretty

771
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: much back, buthe there was still some question marks, whether

772
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: or not he could drawed it to fade it off

773
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: of one, and whether or not his putting was where

774
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: it needed to be. We found out very early on

775
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 1: that week that everything was fun. This week, there's more questions. Obviously,

776
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: how's his back holding up? He's he's what is he

777
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: five hundred days and the last time he played five

778
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: hundred almost six hundred days from the last time he

779
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 1: played golf, So he's now forty six years old. He

780
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: won here when he was forty three. I mean that's

781
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: at the age when time iction the teeth, so you know,

782
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: back issues. This is crazy, Randall, this is crazy. Okay.

783
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 1: You know we keep being surprised by stories in sports

784
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: and you think you've seen everything, and I know Ben

785
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 1: Hogan came back from a terrible car accident, but yeah,

786
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,359
Speaker 1: I mean, Tiger, we thought maybe he could lose his leg,

787
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: and then we thought, well is he going to be

788
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,400
Speaker 1: able to walk? Okay? Now can he swing a golf club? Now?

789
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 1: Can he walk a course? Now? Can he win the Masters? Like,

790
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: come on, this is crazy. Well with him, all bets

791
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: are off. I mean you've seen it. I've seen it.

792
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: You know, he has a capacity for miracles. I don'tlike

793
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: anybody else, but you know, it is the comeback story

794
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 1: of great athletes that those are the most compelling stories

795
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: of all in all of sport. You mentioned Ben Hogan,

796
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 1: Hollywood made a movie about that. You know, there was

797
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: a you know, the boxer James Braddock, Cinderella Man. Hollywood

798
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,720
Speaker 1: made a movie about that. I mean, that comeback was inconceivable.

799
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: But here Tiger Woods, he's already given us I've lost

800
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: count of how many comebacks. But he's come back from

801
00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: a broken leg, won the US Open, a sort of

802
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: a broken image, a broken short game, and then you know,

803
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: ascended to eighty two and one a Master. So those

804
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: are all Hollywood worthy. This one, this one just goes

805
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 1: right to the ridiculous. If he's able to come back

806
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: from this and play with any semblance of the game

807
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: that he had prior to it, does he have any

808
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: say input on who he would play with on Thursday Friday?

809
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he would, but it wouldn't

810
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: surprise me that justin zones is yeah, exactly. You know

811
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 1: they're going to put him with a comfortable, favorable pairing.

812
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:45,399
Speaker 1: You know, I can't imagine they're going to put him

813
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: with Sergio Garcia, you know, you know, somebody who he

814
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 1: has a little animus with. I just don't see that.

815
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: I don't see that happening. Best player of the world

816
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: right now is well, well, not number no. I don't

817
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: want number one. I want if we were going to

818
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 1: bet today best number one player and they went right

819
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: out and played right now at AUGUSTA one round, I

820
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: would say justin Thomas when I yeah, when I when

821
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: I look at the top twenty players in the world,

822
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: there are more question marks than there are exclamation points.

823
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: And you know, you go down the list and you

824
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 1: start looking at who could who has every who checks

825
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 1: every box here? There's really only a handful of players

826
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: that sort of check every box. Being able to hit

827
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: the necessary height of the iron shots, being able to scramble,

828
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: having the you know, the sort of the wits about

829
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 1: you to hit the right shots at the right moment

830
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,800
Speaker 1: on this golf course. There's really only about a handful

831
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 1: of them here. Scottie Scheffler certainly that in that handful

832
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 1: Colin Moore cow is in that handful, but Justin Thomas,

833
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: at least in my view, is the player I'm most

834
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: looking at to win this week. I tell people, if

835
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: you haven't walked Augusta, you don't realize how hilly it is,

836
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: might be the hilly course that they have on tour.

837
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: And I just I don't know how you hold up

838
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: four days, no golf cart, going to be hitting balls,

839
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 1: gonna have to have probably have swelling. I mean, it's

840
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: a monumental task here, right, too much hill to climb

841
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: when you when you look at it that way. But

842
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: on the other hand, if you just look at right,

843
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: if he can, if he can do that, and I

844
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: don't doubt. But the last time we saw him where

845
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 1: he was hobbled a little bit better, he got around

846
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,520
Speaker 1: a little bit better than I thought. But so that's

847
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 1: have been four months and Tiger Wood said every single

848
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: day he was emphatic about this, every single day. There

849
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: is no day off for him. He realizes the door

850
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: is shutting. But from a major major championship standpoint, this

851
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: is the best chance for him to win a major championship.

852
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: It's got the smallest field and then you can further

853
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: reduce this field down to I don't know, the average

854
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: world ranking of the winner is eleven here over the

855
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: last ten years. I mean, it really does reduce the

856
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: field down to a very small number of players. And

857
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: Tiger Woods realizes he he comes here, he's got to

858
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:04,440
Speaker 1: be ten fifteen guys and if he can just get around,

859
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: we've seen him hobble around before and win a major championship,

860
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: you know, to two thousand and eight US Open, he

861
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: could hardly walk. Is the coverage being planned for Tiger playing?

862
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure it is, you know, I'm sure once they

863
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: realized that there was a very good chance Tiger was

864
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: going to be here. And does he go in the

865
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: afternoon brandal on Thursday to capitalize on ratings? Yeah, that

866
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: would be my guess. That would be my guest, Dan,

867
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: you know, just you know, first out, you know, I mean,

868
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: people sit in a room executives and they're like, what

869
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: would they rather see a high rating on Thursday or

870
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: a high rating on Friday? But wherever it's at, the

871
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 1: ratings will triple, because I mean they triple when Tiger's

872
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: just in the event anyway, But given this comeback, who knows,

873
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: I mean, these might be the single greatest ratings in

874
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: the history of major championship early on early days anyway,

875
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: are you in your hotel? I'm right in the same

876
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: spot where I on what I talked. Yeah, and they

877
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 1: haven't changed the picture behind you now, but I think

878
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: that's appropriate. That's the view I have, you know, chipping

879
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: out of the you know, the trees quite often. I

880
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: think somebody's trolling me. Yeah, Hey, great to talk to you.

881
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: As always, We'll be watching this week and next week

882
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: as well. Thanks Dan. That's Randall Shamblie, the lead Golf

883
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: Channel studio analyst. And they got the Augusta National Women's

884
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: Amateur that's going to air on NBC Saturday at noon Eastern.

885
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: Certainly sounds official. Lish the Tiger's going to be playing.

886
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 1: It's amazing, it's wild. And I had somebody tell me

887
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 1: last week having seen Tiger at Medalist, his home course,

888
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: and said he didn't look comfortable at all, didn't look

889
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 1: good at all walking around. Yeah. See, is there a

890
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: like deadline or cut off when Tiger would have to

891
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 1: tell if he's in or out? That's what I asked Brandon.

892
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: I said, when does he have to make an official

893
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: And he said, well, he's already made an official. He's

894
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: in the field. It's official official now he can just

895
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: back out. He's just in the field. He could back

896
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: out absolutely, but I would say if he's teeing it

897
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: up the part three, then he's going to be playing.

898
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: But he'll he'll probably announce it before then. Yeah. Right,

899
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 1: it's a foreign Master's Champion. He's in the field every

900
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: single year until he tells them he's not. Yea. And

901
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: to the point where I was reading a couple of things.

902
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 1: His name could be on there until Thursday five minutes four,

903
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,479
Speaker 1: his tea time, and he could withdraw on the range.

904
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 1: He could withdraw moments before. But he's in until he's out.

905
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 1: A couple of phone calls Scott and Maryland High Scott,

906
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey, DP, thank you for

907
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 1: taking my call? Sure five nine. I just want to

908
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:52,719
Speaker 1: actually you kind of just took the words out of

909
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: my mouth with a previous interview. I was fortunate enough

910
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: to go to Augusta back in twenty seventeen for a

911
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: practice round, and one of the first things I noticed,

912
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: for first and foremost was just how beautiful it was,

913
00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: but second how hilly it is. I mean, the TV

914
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: does not do it justice whatsoever. Was just how hilly

915
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 1: it is. I just don't you know how Tiger and

916
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: can keep that up, which is a recent surgery. But

917
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: the main reason I'm calling is I got an NFL

918
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 1: pie of the part of the fast that if anybody's

919
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: interested for this upcoming season, all right, all right with

920
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: the jugger nuts or juggernauts for the TV juggernuts for

921
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: the AFC North, you got John Watson, Lamar Jackson, Joe

922
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: Burrow and my man Mitchell Drew Bisky. I will take

923
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 1: the Steelers winning over the rest of them for the

924
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:44,600
Speaker 1: part of the face for anybody wants them. All right,

925
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: who wants a pie of the face? Scott has Pittsburgh

926
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: winning the division over everybody? Anybody? Yeah, pulling The Steelers

927
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 1: were nine and seven, nine seven and one last here

928
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: with Roethlisberger. Yeah, the division was one with ten wins

929
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:09,359
Speaker 1: by Cincinnati. Yeah. That there's a gutsy called by this guy.

930
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: All right, Are the Ravens gonna be bad again? Eight

931
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:24,879
Speaker 1: and nine? Yeah? And it feels like the Bengals got better. Yes,

932
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 1: And currently the Steelers have seventeen quarterbacks, none of which

933
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 1: are really and we don't know when Deshaun Watson is

934
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:34,800
Speaker 1: going to play right, So I'm banking on Pitt And

935
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big Mitchell Trubisky fan, so I'd

936
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 1: be a little nervous they're betting against him. You know,

937
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens lost six in a row. I think that,

938
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, rolling along they were eight and three and

939
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden, it's like, uh see you

940
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,479
Speaker 1: they're gonzo. Lamar doesn't want that extension until he wins

941
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: his super Bowl. I like how the owner is telling

942
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: us that, no, he doesn't want forty five million dollars

943
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: a year, not doing he wins the super Bowl. In fact,

944
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: here is the Ravens owner, Steve Biscotti, talking about Lamar Jackson,

945
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: the kid to show chested with winning a Super Bowl

946
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: that I think, deep downing doesn't think he's worthy. I

947
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: think he wants that to say now, I deserve to

948
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: be on top. I don't think he is turned on

949
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,799
Speaker 1: by money that much, and he knows it's coming one

950
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: way or the other. Yeah, But I don't know if

951
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: I could put those words in my quarterback's mouth. You know,

952
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: I don't want it now. Maybe Lamar Jackson said that,

953
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: but my owner is saying, no, you don't want that money,

954
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 1: do you, lamar until you win a Super Bowl? Yes, sir, yes.

955
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: He's like, look, I want to give you the money

956
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to, but he won't take it. It just

957
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,839
Speaker 1: seems like, no, I'm not worth, I'm not worthy yet

958
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: I wanted to put your hands out on I know

959
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: I want You don't want this money? How's forty five?

960
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: So no? Oh okay, oh okay
