WEBVTT - HOUR 2- Dick Vitale Sep 10, 2020 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.360 Sports Radio Hour two on this Thursday, Dan and Mdane's 0:00:07.440 --> 0:00:10.319 Dan Patrick Show. Dick Vital will join us coming up 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:13.560 in about fifteen twenty minutes or so, we'll talk about 0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:17.000 what kind of plans does college basketball have to get 0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.360 this season underway? And of course March Madness. John Calipari, 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.959 Kentucky head coach will join us coming up as well. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.280 Spent the first hour a lot of it talking about 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:29.240 Chiefs Texans coming up tonight and are the Chiefs a 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.360 dynasty in the making. You know, if you go back 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.240 to the postseason, they could have easily lost all of 0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.240 those postseason games. They trailed in all those postseason games. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.479 They trailed by double digits in those postseason games. But 0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.040 they came back, and they came back in the Super 0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:47.400 Bowl down ten with seven minutes to go. A couple 0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.720 of plays here, a couple of plays there. Niners didn't 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.920 make a couple of plays Chiefs did, and they're your 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.200 Super Bowl champs. I don't know what the line is tonight, mclovin. 0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.920 Is Kansas City favored by more than four or five? Maybe? Yeah, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.399 check on that. I don't know. I haven't even looked 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.360 at any of the point spreads coming up. I know 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:10.039 that Tom Brady is an underdog for the first time 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.760 in over seventy regular season games with the Buccaneers, and 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:15.760 he's probably going to be without Mike Evans this weekend 0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:19.920 as well. Yeah, McLevin, we're seeing nine. Oh okay, I'm 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.240 big number, but I'll double check if that's an early one. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.400 If it's moved off that, no, it's probably right. I 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:26.800 don't know why it was that generous with the Texans 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.720 here going into that game, and it's not a revenge game. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.319 I don't know if Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth will 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.080 frame it that way, because the revenge game would be 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:41.160 if you beat Kansas City in January, not in September. Yes, 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:43.400 mcclub see, I think it is a revenge game because 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:46.240 they're going to forget by January, but that's their last game. 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:50.400 They've been brewing on this game. Well, I mean, if 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.600 you're Kansas City, if you're gonna lose a game to 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:57.040 the Texans, you want to lose in September, not in January. 0:01:57.120 --> 0:02:00.800 So I you know, is Kansas City not going to 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:03.120 play as hard or the Texans gonna play even harder 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.960 because it's a revenge game. Wouldn't you have played harder 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.120 in the postseason game last year when you had an 0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:12.720 opportunity of twenty four to nothing. Wow? And I still 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.320 go back to that play on the fake punt by 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:20.799 Daniel Sorenson, and that's it's a sneaky great play. I mean, 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.120 he did what he's supposed to do because your job, 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:27.519 you know, his job, his assignment is you go where 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:31.840 that the up guy is on the punt, and that 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.800 guy was bouncing around a little bit and then Sorenson 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.560 is just watching him and all of a sudden, and 0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.480 if he doesn't get him, they get thirty yards. They're 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.919 in great position to add more points, and they would 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.639 have been up maybe thirty one to nothing. And it 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.000 was one play. You go back to one play and 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:57.840 then that sparked them. Momentum changed, Kansas City's offense came alive, 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.000 the Chiefs actually started playing defense, and the rest is history. 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:05.079 You got a pull question, mcloven. We didn't have one 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.200 in the first gyn, so we were debating what is 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.680 the most likely team to go from worst to first? 0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.560 And kind of happens every year, So I'll look at 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.640 the fourth place team in each division. Washington football team, 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.520 who added nowhere is getting hype this week. I don't 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.080 know if you've seen any of it. They're like a 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.240 lot of playoff dark horse whoa because they have like 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.800 nine first rounders on their defensive line is why? But okay, 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.680 so just because they got Chase Young, Chase Young, Montes 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:34.360 sweat Jonathan Allen to Ron Payne, you know they had 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:36.240 it last year. But people think that we're with Ron 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.080 River there there'll be a much better team. Okay. Yeah, 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.640 there's a stat that everyone's dining out on with Washington 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.640 that Dwayne haskins last couple of games were really good. 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:47.400 They're separating his first bunch of games between his last 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.960 two and that's like they're pinning that on his improvement. Well, 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.240 he had a good final month of the season, and 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:55.880 we pointed that out a couple of times. But I 0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:59.360 don't I'd have to look at what these other teams 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.040 were playing for or But would I be surprised if 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:08.160 Washington made the playoffs? I would be. Now, I don't 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.360 think the Eagles are going to be as good. You 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.800 never know about the Cowboys, the Giants, can they be 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:19.400 a little bit better, I guess. And then you have Washington. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.880 I mean that was a wounded division last year. When 0:04:23.960 --> 0:04:27.400 you think about it, I mean the Eagles won it. 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.599 I mean somebody had to win it. It was like 0:04:29.640 --> 0:04:34.040 the Cowboys lost it. Yeah, mcclub okay. Next division, the 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.200 Detroit Lions. I would say the Lions have a better 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.840 chance than Washington to make the playoffs. I think because 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.800 of their offense and if Stafford stays healthy, then I 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.719 would say they could sneak in. Because I don't know 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.720 about the Bears, I don't know about the Packers, the Vikings. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.279 Vikings got as much talent as just about anybody in 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.240 the NFC, But it's going to come down to Kirk 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:00.960 d Cousins and how he's able to form in the postseason. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.920 That's one of those I don't care about the regular season. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.400 There's certain players like Lamar Jackson. I'm curious about the 0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:10.040 regular season, but if he is going to put up 0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:13.320 great numbers, we're going to say the following, well, can 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:16.880 you win a playoff game? He's owing two? Yeah. Mclub. 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.000 Next division in the Carolina Panthers. No, do we even 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.320 need to put them on the poll? I think they're 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.280 getting worse. I don't think that they're you know, and 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.080 that might be by choice, but I don't I don't 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.520 think they're gonna do any damage. Arizona Cardinals were last 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.560 in the NFC. West Man, that's a it's such a 0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:38.840 tough division. As you said yesterday. Yeah, I think if 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.880 they got close to a wild card, I think they 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.159 could do a wild card. But you know, you got Seattle, 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.000 You've got San Francisco. I don't think the Rams are 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.240 going to be great. I don't think they're gonna be good. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:54.600 You know, if they're average, you know, can Arizona be 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.960 a little above average? They maybe win nine games? Now, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.200 you know you have DeAndre Hopkins in there. If Fitzgerald 0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:03.239 is still there, Kyler Murray, does he take that next? 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:05.720 You know that quantum leap that we sometimes see from 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.479 first year to second year players. And if that's the case, 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.880 then Arizona could be one of the surprise teams. I 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:14.240 would say Detroit out of that group, unless you have 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.239 another one. Well, I'll give you the four AFC once. 0:06:16.240 --> 0:06:20.479 The Dolphins, Bengals, Chargers, and Jaguars were last place teams 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:23.040 last year. Maybe the Dolphins being in the mix there. 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.480 I guess because I don't expect too much out of 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:28.400 the Jets. I don't think the Patriots are going to 0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:33.600 make the playoffs. You got weird quarterbacking situations with all 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.159 of those. So two is not going to play? Burrow 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:41.520 is a rookie. When does Justin Herbert play? Gardner? Minshew 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:47.360 and Jacksonville? So I guess the Chargers. But you know 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:51.080 the Chargers are already banged up, and you know Tyrod 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:56.760 Taylor's your quarterback? But for how long? And what else? 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.880 Jaguars question? If I gave you thirty to one odds 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.680 that they go oh in sixteen? Would that bad interest you? 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.320 Are they a possible oh in sixteen? I don't think so. 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.760 If I put up one hundred, I get three thousand, Yeah, 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.800 double check that. I know the odds are big. I 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.560 know it's a popular bad out there. I don't think 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.840 they're going to go winless like the Lions did a 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.520 few years ago. The Browns, I mean, they won six 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.440 games last year. I'm gonna look at, you know, three 0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:26.760 wins for him, maybe four wins. I have a quote 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:29.360 from this time last year where Peter King says the 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.480 Miami Dolphins are gonna be galactically bad. He was on 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.440 our show. He said galactically bad Dolphins and that they 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.520 could go. Oh in sixteen, Dolphins won what six games? Yeah, 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:41.840 they're five and eleven, and they were considered going into 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.400 the season a complete tank job. And they caught my 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.120 attention when they beat the Patriots in New England and 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.720 a game that New England had to have, and I went, wow, 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.600 Brian Flores, I don't know what he was doing, you know, 0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:59.920 because they traded away players make of Fitzpatrick, so Laramie Ton, 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.640 so like they traded away they're known players, and you 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:08.960 still had Ryan Fitzpatrick. And somehow, some way they were 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:12.000 able to make all of that work and he got 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.080 the most out of that team. I think that we're 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.480 expecting a little too much out of the Dolphins this year. Now. 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:19.760 I want to see if two of plays. I hope 0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:23.360 he doesn't play. I hope he plays when he is 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:26.600 ready to play, not that they need him to play 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.880 as long as he's healthy. Like if keeping him out 0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:34.440 longer makes him stronger and better, I'm all for that. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.120 But he is in a great situation with Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.880 because Fitzpatrick will be very helpful, beneficial for two of him. 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.440 So what's the pole question? Okay, So we're putting up 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:48.400 right now, most likely worst to playoffs team, and I'll 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:51.559 give you those eight division losers. I also wanted to 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.200 put up an NFL MVP pole, but I don't want 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.840 you to have to give away your super Bowl pick, okay, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:58.960 because I'm afraid if I said who's gonna be in 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:04.640 the MVP Mahomes, Jackson, Brady, Breeze, Wilson, Prescott, Brady Watson, 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:08.360 that's the odds. I put Brady in twice. Sorry, do 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.320 you have? Is the MVP going to be your super 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.200 Bowl winner? Is that how it works? Or is it 0:09:12.200 --> 0:09:16.720 possible that it's like a Lamar Jackson situation? My MVP 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:26.439 will not be on my super Bowl pick, and I'm 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.040 not gonna let you guess my MVP pick. Next hour, 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:31.960 I'll let you guess, because then I'll give you my 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.560 super Bowl pick. I think you might have hinted at 0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.760 your MVP pick earlier this week. You've said a couple things, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:40.680 You've laid out some bread crunks. I didn't know you 0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.880 listened to the show, mclovin, but I think I know 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:44.679 your MVP and I have no idea your Super Bowl 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.080 pick the Lakers and Rockets coming up tonight, obviously the 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.520 Texans in the chiefs and adjust your viewing pattern. The 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:54.800 Lakers Rocket starts at seven, so they don't compete with 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.800 the NFL game. Raptors beat the Celtics and double overtime. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.480 Clippers up three one on the Nuggets in a pretty 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.800 performance by the Clippers. Kawhi Leonard, once again, you know, 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.959 we keep we brought this up a couple of times 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.360 where hey, shouldn't we vote vote on the MVP after 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.160 the playoffs? Well, while we go, that's a four guine 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:15.160 conclusion that Lebron's going to be your MVP. That's not 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:20.360 the case. Kawhi Leonard has been great and if the 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:24.000 Clippers would win the title, he's your MVP, not Lebron. 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.920 As much as I think Lebron, you know, should have 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:30.559 been a closer vote because I think it's going to 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.880 be a blowout with a Greek freak, you know, Lebron 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.960 has been great and kind of reinvented himself this year. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.200 LSU will allow fans at their games. I guess twenty 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.600 five percent. Do we need to have the number? PAULI yeah, twenty, 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:47.679 which equals about twenty five thousand. The Braves have just 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:50.680 scored again. They have now scored forty nine runs on 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.320 the Marlins. They're up forty nine to nine in that game. 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.959 That is not true, it's twenty. They scored twenty nine 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.640 on the Marlins last night, and yes they were swinging 0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:04.840 for runs in the late innings there. On paper, the 0:11:04.880 --> 0:11:07.360 Celtics seem to have had the advantage over the Raptors. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.640 You know, they're more versatile, they're younger, and you could 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.880 argue they're more talented after Kawai left, but the defending champions. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.920 After losing Kawai, they ended up with the second best 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:21.680 record in the NBA and they were down three games 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.800 to two in the Eastern Conference. Simmis. They found their 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:27.520 way Wednesday night to survive Kyle Lowry one time playoff 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:32.160 goat was great and you know Norm Powell stepped up 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:35.600 last night. He got hot Fred van Vleet. They played 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:39.720 big minutes there and now the Raptors remember when they 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:43.040 went down O two and we started to wonder, like 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040 if you go down O two and the Bucks went 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.560 down O two, and we said, who's more likely to 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.040 come back? And I said, Toronto is because they know 0:11:53.080 --> 0:11:55.600 what they need to do. They've been there before. I 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:58.959 liked their coach, and we were saying that backcourt with 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.840 Fred Van Vleet and Kyle Lowry and here they are 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.000 going to a game seven against the Boston Celtics. But 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:08.719 here is Kyle Lowry after the game saying that this 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.360 is what you need to do to win that. Yeah, 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.360 do it. It takes to win basketball games. I mean 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:19.079 tonight myself, Pascal freddie Og played fifteen minutes, man, Like 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.040 that's big time. That's a big time stuff. That's what 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:23.920 takes to win backs, win a game like that, and 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.000 we did whatever we need to do. For me, it's 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:30.280 just about playing basketball. Yeah, it's playing minutes and everybody 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.320 contributing there. There was an interesting exchange, at least I 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.960 found it interesting. Michael Porter junior, he's the Nuggets forward 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:40.640 and it feels like he's been in the NBA for 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.960 about fifteen minutes and he's he could be a really 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:46.120 good player, had great hype coming out of high school, 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:49.680 went to Missouri, hurt his back, but still mid first 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.800 round draft pick by the Nuggets. He scored fifteen points 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.640 in the first half last night, and then he didn't 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:59.760 get many shots in the second half, and he had 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.120 this to say about the offense of the Nuggets, what 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:04.920 are you looking to do to get yourself more involved 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.280 when you're not touching the ball? I mean, that's really 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:08.719 up to the play cause it's really up to the 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:10.480 coaches who they want to put them put the ball 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:14.640 in whose hand? We kept going to Yoaka Mall. There's 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.960 there're two amazing players. You can never get mad at that. 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.440 But I just think to beat that team, we gotta 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:21.360 get more players involved. We got to move the ball 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.120 a little bit better. We can't be predictable against that team. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.600 And then somebody followed up that answer, Mike, are you 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.800 at a place I know it's your rookie year, but 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.240 are you in a place where you can voice that 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.679 that concern and that thought to Malone or do you 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.520 just kind of just let him dictate? Nah? I think 0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:41.959 you know, if I'm gonna be out there on the 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.679 floor playing a lot of minutes, I think I should 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:46.680 voice that. So I probably talk. I'll probably talked to 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:48.560 the coaches, you know, just tell them what I see 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.600 being out there on the floor, just letting him know. 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.760 Look like they know what we're doing, like, we got 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:56.640 to swing the ball. We got a lot of players 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.480 who can play basketball and score, so we gotta get 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:05.199 some more guys of all. Okay, So Michael Porters saying 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.480 that their coach doesn't know what's going on out there 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.760 and he needs more touches. If you if you want 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.800 to talk to your coach, going through the media not 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:18.040 the way to do it. And Michael Porter Junior, the 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:22.240 third is not build up any house credit here. You 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:27.440 started eight NBA games in your career. How about we 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.920 get a couple more games under your belt there for 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.720 calling out the coach that he doesn't know what's going 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.200 on out there and you need more touches. But the 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.640 media guy, the follow up guy, was a great question 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:40.120 because he saw blood in the wall. Oh yeah, hey, 0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:43.080 these I love when these athletes say these things. I 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.640 would caution them privately and just say, you know, if 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.440 you're going to call out a coach, I'd say, talk 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:52.960 to the coach, because this won't go over well with 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.240 a coach. Malone. Yes, if you're a Malone, do you're 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.480 getting his face about it? Ignore it? How do you 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:02.520 deal with that? I would just say to Michael, hey, 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:07.440 let's win the next game. All right, we'll get we 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:09.920 can we can discuss this at some point. This is 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.120 not the time to do it. I know what's going 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:16.680 on out there. So he's saying, you know that somehow 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:21.240 the Clippers know, Uh, Jokich and Murray are going to 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.720 get the ball. Wow, that is some great scouting on 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:29.080 the Clippers part. Wait, the Joker and Jamal Murray are 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.800 gonna get the you know, inordinate amount of shots. We're 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:35.640 so predictable. I don't know if I want to take 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:37.320 the ball out of their hands to put it in 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:43.240 Michael Porter Jr. The third hand, but he has a 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.920 a high opinion of his talents. Sarah Suton did the 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:49.560 Nuggets coach play professionally because I felt like there was 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.640 another sort of hidden jab there too where he goes, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:53.480 you know, as a player being out there what I 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:57.480 see They're like, Wow, I don't know. I don't know 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.680 if Malone, you know, had one of those journeymen overseas 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.280 kind of careers, because if they, if he did, his 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:06.920 Wikipedia really skips over it where he basically graduated college 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.360 and then became an assistant coach. Yeah it Peers. He 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.640 played for the Loyal a Greyhounds basketball team for a 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.520 few years, started a bunch of games as a point guard, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.560 but then he went right into the coaching realm. Why 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:19.760 is it that you have to play the game or 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.360 you have to be really successful for the coaches to 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.600 players to respect their coach. Well, there is something to 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.600 be said though about having actually played an understanding that 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:32.320 mindset and playing at a higher level than somebody who's 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:35.880 watched the game their whole life. Red Arback didn't play. Yeah, 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:39.680 well there's yeah, there's certainly exceptions. Phil Jackson didn't play 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.280 at a high level. He played in the NBA. He played. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.600 Pat Riley didn't play at a high level, but he 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.920 did play in the NBA. Right. I just felt like 0:16:48.000 --> 0:16:50.000 it seemed like there was another dig in there too, though, 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:51.760 like as a player being out there and what I see, 0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:55.720 Yeah I missed z. Yeah. Yeah. Balichick barely played. He 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:58.240 played at a college where was like Division three B 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.360 Wesley end I barely had a football team. He's not 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:07.800 really a player, no, But you know, Lawrence Frank was 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:12.080 a manager. He was the basketball manager I think in Indiana, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.119 and he ended up being a successful NBA coach. So 0:17:16.200 --> 0:17:18.199 I don't I don't know if like some of the 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:23.879 best players aren't good coaches, right, But I wonder if 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.359 there's any football coach or like NFL football coaches who 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:28.600 never played a down of football, like not even grade 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.879 school or high school. Oh well, I wonder if that 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:34.320 would want extreme, that'd be almost impossible to not play 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.960 at least Pop Warner. Yes, wouldn't you kind of be 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.359 like if some media critic who never hosted a day 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:40.960 of radio in his life was like, hey, you know, 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.080 here's how you should be doing your radio show, you'd 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:44.320 be like, dude, what do you don't even know what 0:17:44.320 --> 0:17:49.000 you're talking about? Well, they have, and it's always like, men, 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.160 shut up, dude, you don't even no clue what you're 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.359 talking about. Well, there are media critics that I respect 0:17:54.600 --> 0:17:57.920 with their approach when they critique you. It's when somebody 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:00.879 who I don't respect you when you know and you 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:03.200 want to critique me then and you're like, you're a hack. 0:18:03.320 --> 0:18:06.760 Shut up. Yeah. We once had a media critic sit 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.440 in and host this show at least a decade ago, 0:18:09.720 --> 0:18:12.000 and to turn the tables. This media critic asked me 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:15.199 to review his performance filling in for you, and I 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:18.080 gave him a decent score. I actually pumped it up 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.480 a little bit to protect his ego, and I got 0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:23.919 a call saying, really, you gave me a B minus, 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.200 a B minus, and that as like, dude, I should 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:29.000 have given you a D plus because it wasn't good. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.600 And that's the last time we spoke. Yep, you can 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.560 fill in the place. But yeah. Media critics don't take 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.199 being criticized that well, well, they think it's easy. What 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.160 happens is, if you're really good, you make it look 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.720 and sound easy and it's not. You know, but that's 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.479 like the brilliance of Bob Costas is he makes it 0:18:52.520 --> 0:18:56.960 look easy and it's not. It's like stand up comedy. 0:18:57.119 --> 0:18:59.240 There are guys who just make it look so simple, 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:01.439 like you just get up there, Hey, I just deliver 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.480 some jokes. There, I know where this is going. Oh 0:19:04.520 --> 0:19:06.560 whoa one, there's the other guy and then there's the 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:08.800 other guy. Can make it look like the hardest thing ever. 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:13.040 But Jeff Garland funny Man said, you have to do 0:19:13.200 --> 0:19:18.040 five hundred hours just just to you know, be average 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.439 as a commedian. How many hours have you done, Todd four, 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:24.280 I don't know if I did a full hour, if 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:29.360 you add up there. You know, three appearances there was Minnesota, La, 0:19:29.400 --> 0:19:30.840 New York, in Atlanta. I don't know if that ended 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:32.840 up to a full hour. Yeah, Sue, I know that. 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:34.800 If I'm the coach of Denver Nuggets today, I'm like, 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.320 so what, so tell me what you meant?
