WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Scottie Scheffler vs. the Field, Michael Cage

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio.

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 2>Howard chewing this Monday Best and Worst of the weekend.

0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Once you saw that you liked, you didn't like, Operator

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 2>Tyler sitting by, Take your phone calls. Stat of the

0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 2>Day brought to you by Panini America, the Official Trading

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Cards and NFT said The Dan Patrick Show check in

0:00:20.840 --> 0:00:24.239
<v Speaker 2>with the Thunder coming up. After an impressive win, they

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.160
<v Speaker 2>even the series. You know the thing with Indiana, if

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 2>you're a basketball fan and you followed them during the postseason,

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>you realized that, okay, they're down fifteen, they can come back.

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:39.160
<v Speaker 2>So you're watching it differently than you would maybe other

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 2>NBA teams NBA games. They've proven that, all right, we're

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 2>down fifteen, we can come back. Therefore, I stayed with

0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:50.320
<v Speaker 2>the game a lot longer than I would normally have stayed.

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 2>But Okase was different last night because it started with SGA.

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 2>He was different. He would get in the lane, he

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>would draw two or three defenders and then he would

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 2>kick it out. And they were making their threes. They're

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 2>not a three point shooting team, but they became one

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>last night, or show they're capable. They played great defense,

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Tyrese Haliburton. I want to see a little more aggression there,

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna give Okase credit for that. They played

0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:21.319
<v Speaker 2>great defense once again. So the Thunder and the Pacers.

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Now they head to Indiana. That'll be coming up Game

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>three on Wednesday nine. All right, we'll get to phone

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.600
<v Speaker 2>calls as we always do every Monday, best and worst

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.319
<v Speaker 2>of the weekend. And if you were going to say

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>Scotty Scheffler versus the field? Right now the DraftKings odds,

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Scotty is an overwhelming favorite to win at Oakbant plus

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.759
<v Speaker 2>two seventy five. Next on the list is Rory at

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.200
<v Speaker 2>plus eight point fifty. Then it's Bryce and Deshambeau, John

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Rahm and a even longer shot with Zanders Shoffley. It

0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>feels like it's Scotty Scheffler's to lose. Is Scotty worthy now?

0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>Is he Tiger worthy to be Scotty versus the field?

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I think he only has two majors. It feels like

0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 2>he's got five. But he's got two majors and always

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>in contention the other tournaments that he's winning. But it

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 2>feels like he's he's at least in the area code

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:24.880
<v Speaker 2>of Tiger Woods when it comes to how great he is.

0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 2>And I always look at your competitors. Now, the live

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 2>guys can still play in these majors. You know, John

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 2>Rahm is able to play in this, Bryce and de

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.280
<v Speaker 2>Shambeau can play. You know, being a former champ, you're

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 2>allowed in at the Masters, and so you're still competing

0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 2>against great players. The thing is is those players playing

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 2>on the Live Tour who were in Virginia where Joaquin

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 2>Neeman wins over the weekend, nobody cares and it's not

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 2>really a true test of what you saw at the

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 2>RBC where you know their sudden death, you know, go

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 2>to extra holes. There that pressure and Paul just said

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 2>three majors there for Scotty. Okay, but you know these

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>guys on the Live Tour, you're not in that pressure

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.120
<v Speaker 2>cooker environment. You're not in that I gotta make the cut.

0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:21.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, everybody gets paid, everybody's having a nice time. Yeah,

0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to win, but you know, I don't know

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 2>if people are losing their jobs because their team didn't

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 2>or you didn't win the team event at the Live Tour.

0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 2>But getting in that mode of when you're when you're

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 2>playing on the PGA Tour. It's just different, feels different,

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:43.640
<v Speaker 2>it's treated differently. It's not a casual thing. It's serious

0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 2>and I think trying to get ready to gear up

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 2>to play in a major, that's the hard part. You know.

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>John Rahm was maybe the best player in the world

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>and then he went to live and he's not the

0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 2>best player, but he's still a great player. You know,

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 2>even when you look at Tiger, how many times did

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 2>he face off, go toe to toe with a great

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:13.360
<v Speaker 2>player to win the Major? Not often? I mean, rock

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 2>O Media is a wonderful, wonderful guy and a fun

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:23.039
<v Speaker 2>guy to be around. Who is it May that was

0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 2>at Valhalla? I think who was a great amateur player?

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Like his last name is May. You know, you don't

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.360
<v Speaker 2>run down the list of who did he go against?

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>And that's not, you know, not Tiger's fault that Ernie

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Els wasn't there or Phil wasn't there on a consistent basis.

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, you look at Nicholas, Nicholas, it felt like, okay,

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:49.279
<v Speaker 2>you got Trevino and Gary Plair and you got Tom Watson.

0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, you can run down the list of guys

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:56.520
<v Speaker 2>who were Hall of Famers, who were usually there with Jack.

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I want to see. I want to

0:04:59.839 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>se see guys going toe to toe with Scottie Scheffler

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>and you know, hopefully that's Rory or Bryson de Shamba.

0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, that's what you want, you know, that's where

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.800
<v Speaker 2>it's memorable, where you have the showdown between those two.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.880
<v Speaker 2>What was May's Do we know what his first name was?

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 3>It's Bob May.

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Bob May. I was gonna say Brad May. Like Matt Gogel,

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't he a guy who competed against Tiger at Pebble

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 2>in the US Open. Matt Gogel might have finished second

0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 2>at fifteen shots back, but I mean Tiger kind of

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 2>blew people out of the water there. Yeah, Pauling, I

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:40.719
<v Speaker 2>went back and looked.

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:41.000
<v Speaker 4>At the odds.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 5>While you're talking about Tiger or Scotti Schffler being more

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.440
<v Speaker 5>of a favorite. Twenty years ago, Tiger Woods was five

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 5>to one to win the US Open. The guys that

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 5>were close to him were Phil Mickelson, Ernie Els, VJ.

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 5>Singh and then it dropped off dramatically. However, Scotti Scheffler

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 5>is more of a favorite to win this US Open

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 5>than Tiger Wood was to win the US Open in

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 5>two thousand and five for a comp.

0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:08.159
<v Speaker 2>Here's something I didn't realize. I actually lost to bet.

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 2>Guy goes, uh, hey, you know when Tiger won the

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.719
<v Speaker 2>Masters nineteen ninety seven. I go, yeah, yeah, it was there.

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>He goes, Do you know that Jack Nicholas finished higher

0:06:20.640 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 2>than Tiger the next Major or the next Masters? I go, wait,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 2>hold on, here, hold on, he said, check it that

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 2>Jack I think finished sixth at the Masters in nineteen

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 2>ninety eight. Does that sound right because I would have

0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 2>thought jacket Jack didn't finish higher. Yes, PAULI, that is correct.

0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.840
<v Speaker 5>Jack Nicholas was five under, tied for sixth with David Toms,

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 5>and Tiger was tied for eighth at three under.

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that amazing? Yes? I mean Jack in eighty six

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 2>when he was what forty six when he won?

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.799
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, PAULI, fred Marcomera won that Masters, was and Freddy

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 5>Couples was in there, Paul Aisinger classics.

0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. But Jack Nicholas finishing higher than Tiger at Augusta.

0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 2>All right. So we have Oakmont, beautiful, challenging golf course.

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.880
<v Speaker 2>And I made the mistake of if you had the

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:26.840
<v Speaker 2>ball above the hole, it can roll off the green

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 2>if you put it, but it it's spectacular. They took

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>down a lot of trees there a long time ago.

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:39.480
<v Speaker 2>But beautiful clubhouse the eighteenth is awesome, and you know,

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>hopefully weatherwise it'll be fun there with the US Open.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 2>All right, poll question for hour two is going to

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 2>be what Seaton no counter we got up there right now?

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:52.400
<v Speaker 6>Will the NCAA settlement shift college sports either a game

0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 6>changer or not really? Right now, fifty four percent of

0:07:57.400 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 6>the audience have it as a not really that significant.

0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think that's pretty interesting.

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 7>Right.

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 6>We're also putting up their most strenuous sport between the

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 6>three currently happening, Basketball, Hockey, Tennis. I anticipate hockey to

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.000
<v Speaker 6>run away with this. I anticipate basketball to be second

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:17.840
<v Speaker 6>and tennis will be third. And I don't know if

0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 6>it should be that order.

0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Well, recency biased. When you're out there for five

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and a half hours mentally and physically. I still marvel

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 2>at what hockey players do. Unbelievable. I mean, I just

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 2>see there's certain sports when you watch and you go,

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 2>why don't I watch more of this?

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:37.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:08:37.559 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Definitely like yesterday when you're watching tennis, you go, God,

0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I should watch more of this. Well, not every match

0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:48.240
<v Speaker 2>is like that, but hockey playoff hockey is like that,

0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 2>and you'll watch hockey and you I should watch more

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 2>of this.

0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.240
<v Speaker 6>I could watch playoff hockey, doesn't matter who's playing. Hockey

0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.760
<v Speaker 6>is one of the best of all the sports. It

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 6>seems like the best combination of skill and like grit

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 6>or toughness.

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:07.240
<v Speaker 2>And you're doing it on skates and you're doing it

0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>on ice and they got a stick and you got

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a stick, and that puck is going one hundred miles

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 2>an hour. What could go wrong?

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.080
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, It's like as they were inventing it, they kept saying,

0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 5>let's make it tougher. All right, So we're gonna be

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 5>just running around. No, no, no, We're gonna go on ice, ice,

0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 5>and you're gonna use a stick, and then the blades,

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:28.480
<v Speaker 5>and then one guy's gonna have no face mask.

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>The goalie.

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 5>Now, no face mask, you can't have it. We'll wait

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 5>a couple decades. Then we'll get a face mask for

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 5>the goal.

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Do we get to wear helmets? Now you don't have to.

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 6>Now we're gonna make it ruin the game. Yes, great,

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 6>you gotta wear a helmet. Okay, you have us seen

0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 6>like sometimes the slow motion, like a dude will get

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 6>still even with the face mask and the helmet everything,

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 6>but the stick gets.

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Up into that shield.

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Like gosh, yeah, what happens with hockey players the dexterity.

0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 6>It's crazy toughness doing it on skates. Yes, yes, Martin,

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:03.880
<v Speaker 6>you're the designated fighter now. Your entire life up until then,

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 6>you scored one hundred goals a game. Like, you know what,

0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.280
<v Speaker 6>you're the best fighter. That's all you do. You're going

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:10.440
<v Speaker 6>to protect Sidney Crosby or Wayne Gretzky. You're going to fight.

0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 2>But I like that they don't fight in the postseason

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.920
<v Speaker 2>for the most part. Like they'll kind of jostle around

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 2>a little bit there and you know, say something and

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 2>push and shove and all that. But you know, I

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 2>want to see the great That was the problem I

0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:28.839
<v Speaker 2>always had when I was watching hockey. Now, this is

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>when the Devils were really good, and you know, they

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 2>would score two goals and then they would go into

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.040
<v Speaker 2>their zone defense and all of a sudden, this shell

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 2>and then nobody was scoring. And I remember watching one

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 2>time and Barry Milrose he was telling me. I said,

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Barry what should I be watching for? He said, you

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 2>see that guy right there? I said, yeah, he goes

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>best player in hockey. It was Peter Forsburg And I go,

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 2>all right, So I watched and I go, uh, I

0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't see anything. He he's looking at things that I'm not.

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'm gonna see did you score, that's all?

0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.839
<v Speaker 2>Did you assist or anything? And uh. But you want

0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 2>when people tune in, you want them to be able

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 2>to see that guy is great because I there's times

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 2>when I watch soccer where I'll go that guy didn't

0:11:19.720 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 2>do anything, but he's the best, one of the best players.

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:24.000
<v Speaker 8>You know.

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll watch MESSI sometimes and you go, all right, let

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 2>me see it. I see walking all the time. I

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 2>thought you were supposed to run all the time. And

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 2>then I just watching and then all of a sudden

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:39.240
<v Speaker 2>you just see this little bolt of lightning, like, you know,

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.760
<v Speaker 2>just wobbling. And then all of a sudden you're going,

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 2>how can he be the best player in this sport?

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:47.160
<v Speaker 2>And then you see it and you go, damn yes.

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 9>Marv Hockey also has two of the best tradition traditions

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 9>in sports, the playoff beard and the playoff handshake.

0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 4>After every series. Two of the best traditions in all

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 4>the sports.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's great. Yeah, it's fun. Playoff hockey, yeah, Paul.

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 5>The NHL didn't require players to wear helmets until the

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 5>seventy nine eighty season, but if you entered the league

0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:12.520
<v Speaker 5>the year before or any time before, you were grandfathered in.

0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 5>So a lot of players said, no, you're not going

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 5>to force me to. The first ever hockey player to

0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 5>wear a helmet was a Boston Bruins defenseman named George Owen.

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.840
<v Speaker 5>He also played at Harvard Football, so he grabbed his

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 5>old Harvard leather helmet and wore it and was made

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.880
<v Speaker 5>fun of and the press soft. Yeah, there's a lot

0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:32.199
<v Speaker 5>of different In the nineteen thirties, the Maple Leafs, the

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 5>whole team were instructed to wear helmets and the media

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:35.839
<v Speaker 5>just crushed them.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 2>But the goaltender didn't have a mask like a man. Yeah,

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.960
<v Speaker 2>wasn't that Jacques Plant Wasn't he the first to wear

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:47.559
<v Speaker 2>a mask? You imagine? And I remember seeing hockey mask

0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>where they would have like us, makeshift stitches in it

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>where they got hit and then they would you know,

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:58.640
<v Speaker 2>have somebody draw stitches there Craig McTavish. Isn't he the

0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 2>last guy? Yeah, he was the last one who went

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 2>without a helmet. Yes, Todd did.

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:06.480
<v Speaker 3>Catchers and baseball always have a face mask.

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 10>Was there a time where like you could just get

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 10>hit right in the face with a fastball if you

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:13.559
<v Speaker 10>didn't get your glove up? You were thinking the early

0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:15.720
<v Speaker 10>times they had either very antiquated equipment or maybe no

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.920
<v Speaker 10>equipment at the very early days. Imagine belittling a catcher

0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:20.839
<v Speaker 10>or a hockey player because they want to protect their

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 10>face from a buckler of.

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Baseball soft Adam in Chicago, Hi, Adam, what's on your

0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.280
<v Speaker 2>mind today? Hey? Dan?

0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:33.160
<v Speaker 11>To take him a call? Yep, best and the worst.

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:35.520
<v Speaker 2>We're best.

0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 11>Arizona Baseball lost eighteen to two, and their first game

0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 11>in Chapel Hill three game series came back heavy underdogs

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.480
<v Speaker 11>dramatic fashion won the next two, punched their ticket to Omaha,

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:58.120
<v Speaker 11>the worst Europa League first major titles believe had in

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 11>twenty something years. And they go ahead and just punt

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.440
<v Speaker 11>their Australian manager to the curb just so spurs and

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:07.800
<v Speaker 11>then uh just had a question for you guys, pull

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:13.480
<v Speaker 11>question or discuss amongst yourself curious. What is more enjoyable

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.520
<v Speaker 11>as a sports fan. Is it sitting down and actually

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 11>watching the game, taking it in as it unfolds in

0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 11>front of you organically, or is it afterwards the next day,

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 11>what you guys do so well and what we all

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 11>tune in for breaking it down, hot, taking it, discussing it,

0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 11>predicting the ramifications of the future. What do we actually

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.160
<v Speaker 11>enjoy it more as sports fans?

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 8>Take it in the.

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Game or yeah I got it? Yeah, I got big

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 2>wind up there, Adam, come on. Just to clarify streamline.

0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Top way, people are a long winded like that.

0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know. Don't you hate those people talk?

0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 3>So there's got to be a shorter way to say that.

0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 2>Land the plane, Okay, land the plane. What do I

0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>like more? Chopping it up the day after or watching? Mind? Say,

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 2>watching it? Yeah, I mean that's why I got into

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.040
<v Speaker 2>this because I was watching and then you wanted to

0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 2>have the opportunity to talk about it. But yeah, I

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:10.840
<v Speaker 2>would say watching, Yeah, Paul.

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 5>There is a cool feeling of certain sporting events. It's

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.680
<v Speaker 5>almost like a haze that stays with you the day after,

0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 5>Like the French Open. The next day you're like, man,

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.720
<v Speaker 5>that was an experience that game where triple overtime hockey,

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 5>Like the next morning you wake up because that was

0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:25.680
<v Speaker 5>something I experienced last night where you almost want to

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 5>talk about with anybody.

0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Well, if you you know game one with the Pacers

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 2>and okay, see blows a big lead and then you

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.040
<v Speaker 2>have you know, Tyre's Haliburton with the game winner, and

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 2>then you can break that down. But in the moment,

0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 2>like nothing surpasses the moment of watching something like that.

0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I enjoy looking back on something or having guests who

0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>will help you give you insights, or you'll hear from

0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the person who hit the shot. You know, that's the

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>fun part of it as well, is adding to that.

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:57.840
<v Speaker 2>And that's what our job is always advancing how do

0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 2>we advance? I don't always like looking back, as much

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>as you can look back and then you look ahead.

0:16:03.560 --> 0:16:06.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's really, you know, that's essential in what

0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.680
<v Speaker 2>we try to do. Yes, Tom, no one's.

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 3>At the water cooler at their job eleven hours after

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 3>the FED.

0:16:11.520 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Is it a shot?

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:14.320
<v Speaker 3>It just you lose the moment. It happens right at

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:14.760
<v Speaker 3>that moment.

0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.080
<v Speaker 10>I do an'tyway is that really a debate between watching

0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 10>something in the moment and talking about it several hours.

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, Oh, I think so. I don't know if

0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 2>people go to the water cooler anymore. I don't know when.

0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't even know if we have breakrooms. I don't

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 2>know if people get together that way. I think you

0:16:31.280 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 2>may on social media. I think you may correspond with

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.800
<v Speaker 2>your phone. I don't know if you know a text change.

0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:41.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're hey, you're going to chop

0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:44.160
<v Speaker 2>it up in the breakroom with Tom and Skippy and Sally.

0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>You want to join us? Sure? I mean, I don't

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 2>know if that happens at the mothership of the cafeteria,

0:16:50.360 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 2>where all of a sudden everybody's sitting down and talking

0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 2>about what happened. I mean usually when I got to

0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.680
<v Speaker 2>the breakroom to have lunch, I didn't want to talk

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Spot Worts like Bill Pedo sits down, wants to talk,

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.320

<v Speaker 2>TV analyst and he was in the NBA for what

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.680
<v Speaker 2>fourteen years? That sound about rain, Paulie.

0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think eighty four to two thousand.

0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, that would be sixteen years if my math

0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 2>would serve me correctly. Also, I believe played college basketball

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:31.959
<v Speaker 2>with Tony Gwynn at San Diego State. Michael Cage joining us,

0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.760
<v Speaker 2>can we confirm those things, Michael.

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.560
<v Speaker 13>Yeah, let's see. Check for the years and check also

0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 13>with my man, Tony Gwynn god rest his soul was

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 13>a teammate of mine my freshman year at San Diego State.

0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:48.160
<v Speaker 2>Spot on, do you think Tony gwyn could have played

0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:50.360
<v Speaker 2>in the NBA? Yes, I do.

0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 13>And he was a terrific point guard, great leader on

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.560
<v Speaker 13>the floor, could shoot the mid range. And now you

0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 13>got to remember, when I was in college, there was

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.720
<v Speaker 13>no three point line, so that three point line wasn't

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.879
<v Speaker 13>so much of a factor. But I watched him shoot

0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 13>in practice. He had range, and man, he never told me.

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:13.120
<v Speaker 13>I got to tell you this, Dan, He never told

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:15.880
<v Speaker 13>me that he was that good of a baseball player

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 13>until spring of his senior year, which was spring of

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.480
<v Speaker 13>my freshman year. He said, why don't you come watch

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 13>me play? Yeah, And that was it. Man, I became

0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 13>a fan.

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>What was your welcome to the NBA moment?

0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 13>You know I was drafted as a San Diego Clipper.

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 13>So you just mentioned San Diego State, my alma mata,

0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:40.960
<v Speaker 13>and I was like happy as a lark. Hey, I'm

0:20:41.200 --> 0:20:44.320
<v Speaker 13>local kid. San Diego State just got drafted by the

0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.919
<v Speaker 13>San Diego Clippers. And then two weeks later, I got

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.520
<v Speaker 13>a phone call. You need to move up to LA

0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.760
<v Speaker 13>and get an apartment somewhere. And I said, well, what

0:20:54.000 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 13>does that mean. Well, the team has moved to Los Angeles.

0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:00.760
<v Speaker 13>They're now the Los Angeles Clippers. And I said, okay,

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:02.919
<v Speaker 13>this is what the NBA is like, welcome to it.

0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:03.359
<v Speaker 4>Michael.

0:21:04.320 --> 0:21:07.080
<v Speaker 2>How much of a rivalry, like did you get how

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>lost does the did the Clippers get in the you

0:21:10.000 --> 0:21:12.680
<v Speaker 2>know the shadow, that huge shadow of the Lakers when

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 2>you're in the same town but people don't even know

0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 2>that you're there.

0:21:17.240 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 13>Well, first of all, Dan, the LA's gonna always be

0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 13>a Laker town. I mean, you know, they've they've been there,

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:30.320
<v Speaker 13>what since fifty five their Minneapolis days or whatever. And

0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:35.440
<v Speaker 13>but when we came there, my, my, you know, rookie year.

0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 13>I saw some some fans, some Billy Crystal's, Penny Marshall's

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:40.400
<v Speaker 13>at the.

0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:46.760
<v Speaker 2>Games Hall was probably there, Yeah, he was there.

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.680
<v Speaker 13>And then you know, when they did the infamous Come

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 13>Into America movie, the writers came to the Clippers game,

0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:56.600
<v Speaker 13>saw my hair and said we're going to do the

0:21:56.640 --> 0:22:00.280
<v Speaker 13>so glow thing off of Michael Cage's hair. I said, okay,

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:02.239
<v Speaker 13>this is kind of cool. I didn't find that out

0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:03.960
<v Speaker 13>till ten years fifteen years later.

0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 2>But wait, wait, wait, wait wait, because you had a

0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Jerry Curl, can we keep this moving? No, no, you

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 2>had hair. We should talk about when you had hair, Michael.

0:22:14.200 --> 0:22:18.200
<v Speaker 2>But so you had a Jerry Curl, I did they?

0:22:18.760 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 2>And so they writers looked at that and said we're

0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:22.760
<v Speaker 2>going to use that in Coming to America.

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.400
<v Speaker 13>That's what I found out years later from Rolling Stones

0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.919
<v Speaker 13>magazine that called me and says, hey, you want to

0:22:28.960 --> 0:22:31.520
<v Speaker 13>do a story on you with the whole Coming to

0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:35.320
<v Speaker 13>America feature. I said, well, what does that have to

0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 13>do with me? He said, oh, you didn't know. They said, well,

0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:41.919
<v Speaker 13>the writers came to a clicker game. I'm sorry, I

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 13>can barely get it out. Sometimes you got to have

0:22:44.440 --> 0:22:46.280
<v Speaker 13>a sense of humor at my house, and this is

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 13>a sense of humor. I tell you a story from me.

0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:51.960
<v Speaker 13>I turned around and said, well, tell me more. He said, well,

0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 13>they came to a clipper game and they were trying

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:58.000
<v Speaker 13>to think up some different scenes or acts for the

0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.280
<v Speaker 13>movie Coming to America, the original one, and said they

0:23:01.320 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 13>saw your hair. And that was when the whole soul

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:09.200
<v Speaker 13>glow thing came in. You know, with I tell you

0:23:09.480 --> 0:23:14.399
<v Speaker 13>and I said, Okay, that's a big surprise, but I

0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 13>can give you whatever I can. I said, yeah, I

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.639
<v Speaker 13>wore it, but you know, I was kind of I

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 13>was kind of like a baptism into the entertainment industry

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 13>of Hollywood for me with the hair thing and the

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 13>sol glow and the Jerry curl. You know, all that's tough, man.

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.159
<v Speaker 2>But if you could still have that hair, but you

0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:38.199
<v Speaker 2>had to wear it now since you're bald, when'd you

0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:40.280
<v Speaker 2>go back? Would you do the Jerry curl?

0:23:41.800 --> 0:23:42.000
<v Speaker 11>You know?

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.920
<v Speaker 13>You know about fashion, you know about style. What goes

0:23:46.960 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 13>around comes around, is coming around. And if I could,

0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.119
<v Speaker 13>I would because I know I'm seeing the big afro.

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 13>When I was in high school, I had a big one. Man.

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:58.159
<v Speaker 13>It was bigger than Michael Jackson's in the seventies. So

0:23:58.880 --> 0:24:01.080
<v Speaker 13>that's how big mine was in high school my first

0:24:01.119 --> 0:24:04.199
<v Speaker 13>year of college. So I'm assuming yeah, if I to

0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 13>answer your question, yeah, because I know it's going to

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:07.719
<v Speaker 13>come back around.

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Man. We're talking to Michael Cage, the thunder TV analyst

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 2>and fourteenth overall picked by the Clippers in nineteen eighty four.

0:24:16.200 --> 0:24:19.239
<v Speaker 2>Once lid the NBA in rebounding. All right, what we

0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:22.960
<v Speaker 2>saw last night felt like that was emblematic of what

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.560
<v Speaker 2>you saw all season long with OKC. And I'll start

0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.119
<v Speaker 2>with SGA because I like the eight assist. It felt

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.480
<v Speaker 2>like he was if he wasn't scoring, he would get

0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:35.920
<v Speaker 2>into the paint, take the double team and then kick out.

0:24:36.640 --> 0:24:39.640
<v Speaker 2>What else stood out for you with what you saw

0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.720
<v Speaker 2>last night? And if you're telling a Pacer fan get

0:24:43.720 --> 0:24:45.760
<v Speaker 2>ready to see more of this, what would it be?

0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Well?

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 13>I think what you saw was a total team effort

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 13>that got this team sixty eight wins last season. Because

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.600
<v Speaker 13>you know, as much as there's a lead dog in SGA, man,

0:24:57.640 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 13>I do it as special man.

0:24:58.880 --> 0:24:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been here.

0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.600
<v Speaker 13>This is my year as a broadcaster for the Thunder.

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:07.520
<v Speaker 13>And when I got here, we had Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook,

0:25:07.640 --> 0:25:09.840
<v Speaker 13>you know, that whole group, and that era was kind

0:25:09.840 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 13>of you know at this last year or two run

0:25:13.080 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 13>and then we had to retool this team and get

0:25:15.680 --> 0:25:18.600
<v Speaker 13>the Chris Paul and then you know there was an

0:25:18.640 --> 0:25:23.080
<v Speaker 13>in between Paul, George Carmelo, Anthony along with Russell Westbrook,

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 13>and then came the SGA story and along with him

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.840
<v Speaker 13>came you know, a lot of hope, a lot of promise,

0:25:30.920 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 13>a lot of progress, a lot of painstakingly growth. But

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.880
<v Speaker 13>what you saw last night, here's the answer, the bread

0:25:37.920 --> 0:25:40.920
<v Speaker 13>and butter of your question. This is this team's identity.

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.560
<v Speaker 13>What you saw from Aaron Wiggins coming off the bench

0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:46.679
<v Speaker 13>getting eighteen points, what you saw from Alex Caruso, you know,

0:25:47.119 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 13>getting twenty points. I mean, that's what that's the identity

0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:53.639
<v Speaker 13>of this team. Yeah, you can pick on SGA and say, look,

0:25:53.640 --> 0:25:56.040
<v Speaker 13>we're going to try to stop him, or we're gonna

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:58.600
<v Speaker 13>let him score. If you let him score, he'll score seventy.

0:25:59.000 --> 0:25:59.639
<v Speaker 2>He'll kill you.

0:26:00.080 --> 0:26:02.879
<v Speaker 13>Is telling you that now, So you have to respect

0:26:03.119 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 13>you know that, Hey, he's the leading he's the NBA's

0:26:05.200 --> 0:26:08.960
<v Speaker 13>leading scorer, NBA's MVP, and he's not afraid of the moment.

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 13>But there's a lot of depth to this team. And

0:26:12.080 --> 0:26:14.119
<v Speaker 13>maybe you didn't see, you know, maybe you saw a

0:26:14.119 --> 0:26:17.399
<v Speaker 13>peekaboo of that on a couple of nights earlier, in

0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:20.679
<v Speaker 13>Game one where the thunder led the whole way and

0:26:20.680 --> 0:26:24.000
<v Speaker 13>then lost the game at the end on the Halliburtons shot.

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:27.879
<v Speaker 13>But you know the depth of this team, Isaiah Hardenstein,

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:32.000
<v Speaker 13>Shed Holmgren, I mean lou Dort, Caseen Wallace. You know,

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.440
<v Speaker 13>I've already mentioned Ac and Aaron Wiggins. It just goes

0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:38.400
<v Speaker 13>on and on. Man, this is what this team is about,

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.119
<v Speaker 13>and that's what you're probably gonna expect from the for

0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:42.080
<v Speaker 13>the rest of the series.

0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:45.679
<v Speaker 2>Who does Sga remind you of on the offensive vent?

0:26:47.640 --> 0:26:47.840
<v Speaker 6>You know?

0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:51.160
<v Speaker 13>And I say this with respect to him, he reminds

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:55.159
<v Speaker 13>me of a Jordan like player. He's not afraid of contact,

0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 13>he's not afraid to get in the mid range. He's

0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 13>got the three points shot know in his pocket, but

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:04.720
<v Speaker 13>he pulls it out timely when he wants to.

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:06.119
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:27:06.200 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 13>It is in today's modern NBA, you know, it's it's

0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:14.000
<v Speaker 13>offices are based around either the deep three point shot

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.679
<v Speaker 13>or the deep paint finish. He's brought back the mid range,

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 13>you know. And you talk about guys that like made

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.960
<v Speaker 13>a living in the mid range, like the DeMar DeRozan's

0:27:24.320 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 13>type players. SGA has really made teams start going, wait

0:27:27.960 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 13>a minute, now, maybe we shouldn't be focusing so much

0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:34.320
<v Speaker 13>on three point shooters. Yeah, that's important, that's the important

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 13>part of the game. Analytically, I believe that, But that

0:27:36.920 --> 0:27:39.680
<v Speaker 13>mid range where he dominates where he is just fun

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:42.000
<v Speaker 13>to watch. That's where he reminds me of Jordan.

0:27:42.280 --> 0:27:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's Jordan under the rim, you know, because Mike

0:27:45.760 --> 0:27:50.800
<v Speaker 2>played at a different level literally and figuratively. But Sga

0:27:50.960 --> 0:27:53.720
<v Speaker 2>can get his shot, like you watch and you go,

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:58.480
<v Speaker 2>how does he do it? There's certain guys that you go, Okay,

0:27:58.480 --> 0:28:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I get you know that great scores or they get

0:28:01.119 --> 0:28:03.680
<v Speaker 2>their shot. There's other guys where you got I don't

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:06.800
<v Speaker 2>get it. But he keeps doing it every single night.

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:11.679
<v Speaker 2>And you know, when you look at consistency at leading

0:28:11.720 --> 0:28:14.399
<v Speaker 2>the league in scoring, does he want to lead the

0:28:14.480 --> 0:28:15.199
<v Speaker 2>league in scoring?

0:28:17.520 --> 0:28:20.639
<v Speaker 13>I don't think so. I think what I've seen in

0:28:20.760 --> 0:28:23.680
<v Speaker 13>Shay since he got here after we traded for him

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 13>after one season in Los Angeles with the Clippers, I

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 13>saw a scrawny kid who was just hungry, wanted to win.

0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:34.360
<v Speaker 13>And when I've talked to him, when I've seen him,

0:28:34.359 --> 0:28:36.960
<v Speaker 13>he's always got that kind of approach to the game.

0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 13>He's a he's a magnet for friendships. You know, I

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 13>heard a story and I knew about it, but I'm

0:28:43.080 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 13>glad it got out about him becoming friends, really close

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:49.120
<v Speaker 13>friends with lou Dort. You know, lose lose first year

0:28:49.120 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 13>with the team as well. Lou didn't have a place

0:28:51.600 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 13>to stay yet, and Shae had just gotten here his

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 13>first season. Say, why don't you stay with me. I'm

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.720
<v Speaker 13>not married, I don't have any kids. He's married, he has,

0:28:58.880 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 13>you know, beautiful family. Now Shay does. And they were

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 13>roommates for a season and then he turn around and

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 13>when we drafted Jay Dubb, you know who's going to

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:11.400
<v Speaker 13>be a rising star, a tremendous player so far in

0:29:11.400 --> 0:29:15.920
<v Speaker 13>this league. He said, look, because you're my rookie, I

0:29:15.960 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 13>want you to pick me up and take me to

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 13>the airport every road trip. See that kind of camaraderie.

0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:21.800
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty cool.

0:29:21.840 --> 0:29:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Man.

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:25.320
<v Speaker 2>Did you have a Jordan moment?

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:27.720
<v Speaker 3>You know?

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Good question.

0:29:29.080 --> 0:29:32.080
<v Speaker 13>Here, here's my Jordan moment. Maybe he wasn't Jordan to

0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:35.160
<v Speaker 13>everyone else, but I played with Michael Jordan on the

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:38.240
<v Speaker 13>national team nineteen eighty three Pan Am Games. We wanted

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.480
<v Speaker 13>to go medal down in Caracas, Venezuela. He was my

0:29:41.600 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 13>roommate that whole summer, and he was my roommate at

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:48.680
<v Speaker 13>the village doing the PanAm Games and the tryouts that

0:29:48.720 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 13>we had the year earlier, where there was Charles Barkley,

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:54.720
<v Speaker 13>all these you know, Karl Malone, John Stockton, you know,

0:29:54.800 --> 0:29:57.880
<v Speaker 13>all these up and coming names. And there was this

0:29:57.960 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 13>kid that everybody wanted to see over on court three.

0:30:01.080 --> 0:30:03.800
<v Speaker 13>Now I'm on court one, there's court two, court three,

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:07.200
<v Speaker 13>and he said, this is Jordan kid. You know he's

0:30:07.560 --> 0:30:09.680
<v Speaker 13>at North Carolina. You gotta go over there and see him.

0:30:09.680 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 13>I said, I already know about him, but I'm like, going,

0:30:12.920 --> 0:30:15.160
<v Speaker 13>after my game is over, I'm going over to court

0:30:15.160 --> 0:30:18.360
<v Speaker 13>three and see this guy. And I saw him play,

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.200
<v Speaker 13>and I just said, man, he is so far above

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.240
<v Speaker 13>the rest of us. And I knew at that moment

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:26.880
<v Speaker 13>in nineteen eighty two, at the tryouts and at the

0:30:26.920 --> 0:30:30.120
<v Speaker 13>games in eighty three, this guy was going to be

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:32.760
<v Speaker 13>the truth and he certainly was. Now did we ever

0:30:32.760 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 13>think he eclipsed where he got to. No, but I'm

0:30:36.440 --> 0:30:39.400
<v Speaker 13>not surprised because he's handled that kind of fame and

0:30:39.440 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 13>that kind of you know, success really well.

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:48.160
<v Speaker 2>You seem really mild, mannered, nice cordial. Did you have

0:30:48.240 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 2>any moments with Larry Bird where he would traysh talk you.

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:53.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:56.160
<v Speaker 13>He just looked at me my rookie year and just said,

0:30:56.320 --> 0:31:00.720
<v Speaker 13>you know, you can't stop me. And I said, I know,

0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 13>there's there's nothing else to say. You're Larry Bird. And

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 13>I got that kind of you know, seasoning from Magic

0:31:11.680 --> 0:31:13.560
<v Speaker 13>Johnson too, because I was right there in town when

0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 13>I should see him at grocery stores around LA and

0:31:16.720 --> 0:31:19.160
<v Speaker 13>you know, at the gas station sometimes, or we're all

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 13>going into practice because we practiced the same practice site

0:31:22.920 --> 0:31:26.960
<v Speaker 13>at Loyola Marrimount back in those days, and Magic would

0:31:27.240 --> 0:31:28.680
<v Speaker 13>just come up to me and talk to me and

0:31:28.720 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 13>then turn around and kick my butt. I said, I

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.840
<v Speaker 13>don't know which one I like. I like the quiet

0:31:33.880 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 13>bird kick your butt thing, then Magic shaking your hands.

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 13>You know I'm going at you right.

0:31:39.080 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 7>You know.

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Thank you for the stories Michael, and good luck the

0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:45.160

<v Speaker 2>like Michael Cage, Jerry Curl. Those are fun stories, all right.

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:07.800

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 14>quick question for you. The best and worst was the

0:32:17.120 --> 0:32:21.480
<v Speaker 14>same thing Paul Schemes yesterday at seven and two thirds innings,

0:32:21.760 --> 0:32:27.080

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.360
<v Speaker 14>got on first, got pulled, gets no decisions and it

0:32:30.560 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 14>was just terrible Pitts. That's a great game and gets

0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:33.560

<v Speaker 6>So I know you've been waiting for this part of

0:34:19.320 --> 0:34:22.359
<v Speaker 6>the show. Let's go best of the weekend. I went

0:34:22.400 --> 0:34:27.400
<v Speaker 6>to US men's national team versus Turkey A. US lost,

0:34:27.480 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 6>which was unfortunate. However, Turkey A have two players that

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 6>are really really exciting on like the world stage, and

0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:33.960
<v Speaker 6>they're both young.

0:34:34.000 --> 0:34:35.080
<v Speaker 2>They're both twenty years old.

0:34:35.560 --> 0:34:39.680
<v Speaker 6>Arta Goouler plays for Real Madrid and Keenan Yieldez plays

0:34:39.680 --> 0:34:43.239
<v Speaker 6>for Juventus. Those are both kids that say, twenty years

0:34:43.280 --> 0:34:44.799
<v Speaker 6>from now, you could be like I got to see

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.520
<v Speaker 6>them play. They're both they're both really really highlighted. La

0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:49.759
<v Speaker 6>Mina Mile gets a lot of attention. Arta Gooler is

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:52.080
<v Speaker 6>right behind him. He's a really exciting player. Got to

0:34:52.120 --> 0:34:55.960
<v Speaker 6>see him score that was awesome. And then Portugal beating

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.440
<v Speaker 6>Spain in the Nation's League final. That was awesome, especially

0:34:59.480 --> 0:35:02.600
<v Speaker 6>because we're not Although was there and he scored as well,

0:35:02.760 --> 0:35:04.880
<v Speaker 6>and he you know, he's kind of disappeared off of

0:35:04.960 --> 0:35:06.920
<v Speaker 6>the world stage a bit because of the league that

0:35:07.000 --> 0:35:09.200
<v Speaker 6>he plays in now. But it was a great reminder

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 6>of just how special of a player he still is

0:35:11.760 --> 0:35:12.280
<v Speaker 6>at forty.

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he took the money and uh, I don't know

0:35:15.800 --> 0:35:17.799
<v Speaker 2>how how much money did he make. Does he make

0:35:17.880 --> 0:35:19.120
<v Speaker 2>like one hundred million dollars?

0:35:19.880 --> 0:35:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a gajillion dollars.

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah.

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 6>Who is the guy who played like one one match,

0:35:27.440 --> 0:35:32.239
<v Speaker 6>got hurt and still got paid it like a hundredmar Now, okay,

0:35:32.320 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 6>sonymar that's my favorite player. I love Neymar.

0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:34.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:35:34.920 --> 0:35:35.200

<v Speaker 2>So good for them.

0:36:05.360 --> 0:36:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. My worst of the weekend the Colorado Rockies.

0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:11.440
<v Speaker 9>As soon as they had a three game winning streak,

0:36:11.520 --> 0:36:13.399

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:14.960

<v Speaker 2>Poll Best and Worst of the weekend.

0:36:16.840 --> 0:36:19.879
<v Speaker 5>Friday Night University of Texas softball team beating Texas Tech.

0:36:20.239 --> 0:36:23.480
<v Speaker 5>Great TV, great drama, their first ever national title and

0:36:23.560 --> 0:36:25.040
<v Speaker 5>the other best of the weekend because I don't have

0:36:25.120 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 5>a worst man. I love John McEnroe and tennis never

0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.439
<v Speaker 5>get rid of him. One of the handful of people

0:36:30.520 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 5>that elevates every broadcast. The bigger, the better, and he's awesome.

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:39.520
<v Speaker 2>Zack and Knoxville. Hey Zach, what's on your mind today? Oh?

0:36:39.600 --> 0:36:43.800
<v Speaker 8>Hey, DP, thanks for taking my call potential poll question

0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:49.480
<v Speaker 8>better Kansas State Wildcat Michael Beasley or Jacob Poland the

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:52.440
<v Speaker 8>only time I get to use that reference. Thank you, guys.

0:36:52.640 --> 0:36:57.160
<v Speaker 7>But I wanted to ask you about the OKC head

0:36:57.200 --> 0:37:00.000
<v Speaker 7>coach Mark. I don't know how to pronounce his last day,

0:37:00.160 --> 0:37:02.640
<v Speaker 7>but he doesn't seem to be getting a lot of attention,

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:05.000
<v Speaker 7>and I think the run that he is on with

0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 7>a young team, being young himself, just wants you to

0:37:09.160 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 7>talk about what you think of the job that he's

0:37:11.680 --> 0:37:12.239
<v Speaker 7>doing right now.

0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:14.799
<v Speaker 2>Wasn't he the coach of the Year the previous year,

0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 2>so he has gotten recognition. You know, win a title,

0:37:20.320 --> 0:37:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Win a title and you could kind of be in

0:37:22.600 --> 0:37:27.279
<v Speaker 2>the you know, entering the Eric Spolstra type feel. And

0:37:27.400 --> 0:37:29.120
<v Speaker 2>Spolster is going to be a Hall of Fame coach.

0:37:30.360 --> 0:37:32.120
<v Speaker 2>He's already a Hall of Fame coach in my mind,

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:37.360
<v Speaker 2>but you know, then you get into that category. You know,

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:39.800
<v Speaker 2>one thing I was thinking about when I watched some

0:37:39.960 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 2>of the tennis towards the end, when you look at Alcarez,

0:37:43.800 --> 0:37:47.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot of athletes build off what has preceded them.

0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:50.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, NBA players, you know they may have seen

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:55.320
<v Speaker 2>what happened with that player or that team. And you know,

0:37:55.440 --> 0:37:59.640
<v Speaker 2>in tennis Alcarez it felt like he was channeling Rotha Nadal,

0:38:00.160 --> 0:38:02.439
<v Speaker 2>but just the spirit of I'm not going to go away,

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:08.239
<v Speaker 2>Djokovic's composure and then Roger Federer's touch. So when you

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.960
<v Speaker 2>you put the combo platter together, you understand he's twenty

0:38:12.000 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 2>two years of age and is the future of tennis,

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 2>and hopefully Janick Center is as well. And then you

0:38:19.360 --> 0:38:22.759
<v Speaker 2>get that rivalry because that's what makes it fun. When

0:38:22.800 --> 0:38:26.040
<v Speaker 2>you have somebody where you know, Borg and McEnroe, it

0:38:26.160 --> 0:38:28.560
<v Speaker 2>was just great. I know, we didn't really get to

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:32.400
<v Speaker 2>see somebody stand up to Serena because Serena was so great.

0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:36.759
<v Speaker 2>You know, there were players who were really good, but

0:38:36.920 --> 0:38:39.640
<v Speaker 2>you want that rivalry. That's what it's all about, going

0:38:39.719 --> 0:38:42.520
<v Speaker 2>head to head, toe to toe. I mean That's why

0:38:42.560 --> 0:38:45.520
<v Speaker 2>we love Burden Magic. It started in college, kept going

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:48.080
<v Speaker 2>in the NBA. They did have a couple of head

0:38:48.120 --> 0:38:51.000
<v Speaker 2>to head matchups, you know, for a championship, that's what

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 2>you want, you know, we were looking for that with Jordan.

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:57.719
<v Speaker 2>It just never happened. You know, maybe it was going

0:38:57.800 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 2>to be Malone in Stockton. They had a couple of tries,

0:39:00.800 --> 0:39:04.239
<v Speaker 2>didn't work. Magic at the end of his career wasn't

0:39:04.280 --> 0:39:08.560
<v Speaker 2>ready for Michael. You know, that's the fun part of

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:11.279
<v Speaker 2>it when you look back and you go, boy, those rights,

0:39:11.400 --> 0:39:14.719
<v Speaker 2>you know Alie and Fraser like he wanted to have that,

0:39:15.800 --> 0:39:19.880
<v Speaker 2>and you know Mike Tyson never really had that, you know.

0:39:20.120 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean the guys he would fight normally weren't great fighters.

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:26.440
<v Speaker 2>And then he would fight somebody like Holyfield who was

0:39:26.480 --> 0:39:29.160
<v Speaker 2>a great boxer. He couldn't beat him. Lenox Lewis he

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:32.359
<v Speaker 2>wanted no part of because Lennox Lewis was bigger than

0:39:32.400 --> 0:39:36.160
<v Speaker 2>him and a better boxer. Mike was just a highlight. Yeah, Pauling, I.

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 5>Went back and looked it up after you said it

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:40.640
<v Speaker 5>about Serena Williams who was her biggest rival, Well, it

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:42.719
<v Speaker 5>was her sister. That's the person who gave her the

0:39:42.760 --> 0:39:45.279
<v Speaker 5>most trouble over her career, the second best. This is

0:39:45.400 --> 0:39:48.640
<v Speaker 5>wild against Maria Sharapova, who was considered one of the

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:51.280
<v Speaker 5>best in the world. Serena was twenty and two.

0:39:51.320 --> 0:39:53.520
<v Speaker 2>In their career. Yeah, I was going to say, wow, yeah,

0:39:54.280 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 2>like we wanted Sharapova. You know, we were hoping for Sharapova.

0:39:59.000 --> 0:40:03.960
<v Speaker 2>That it wasn't realalistic, and Serena knew that everybody wanted Sharapova,

0:40:04.120 --> 0:40:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and that's why she went out of her way to

0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.320
<v Speaker 2>make sure that she didn't just beat her, that she dominated.

0:40:08.440 --> 0:40:10.279
<v Speaker 4>Yes, Marvin, it's not like golf when he tried to

0:40:10.320 --> 0:40:12.480
<v Speaker 4>make David Duval the heir apparent.

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Well, David Duval was the number one player in the world.

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 2>I just don't think that he wanted to commit to

0:40:21.239 --> 0:40:22.880
<v Speaker 2>what it took to be the number one player in

0:40:22.920 --> 0:40:26.680
<v Speaker 2>the world because he went crazy in shape and health.

0:40:27.320 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 2>And he's not Tiger. This was all Tiger cared about.

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 2>This is what Tiger was built to do. David Duval

0:40:36.400 --> 0:40:39.160
<v Speaker 2>just became a great golfer and the number one player,

0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:44.279
<v Speaker 2>like Tiger, never wanted to lose it. David Duval then

0:40:44.680 --> 0:40:47.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, I just want to be like a normal guy,

0:40:47.960 --> 0:40:51.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe get married and have kids, and Tiger wanted to

0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 2>be great, still wants to be great. I'm sure, but

0:40:56.520 --> 0:41:01.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that singular focus Tiger was comfortable with. I

0:41:01.160 --> 0:41:04.960
<v Speaker 2>don't think David Duvall was. I think David talked about

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:08.879
<v Speaker 2>they were playing at the British Open, and Tiger ended

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:13.040
<v Speaker 2>up winning the British Open and beating David. Maybe and

0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:15.640
<v Speaker 2>they had they were flying back on the same private plane.

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:20.600
<v Speaker 2>So there's there's Tiger with the trophy. You know, David's

0:41:20.719 --> 0:41:21.879
<v Speaker 2>sitting across from him.

0:41:22.400 --> 0:41:22.520
<v Speaker 7>Uh.

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:25.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I can't see your face, David. Let me move

0:41:25.600 --> 0:41:27.759
<v Speaker 2>the trophy over there. Oh, okay, there you are. Yeah.

0:41:27.880 --> 0:41:31.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure Tiger didn't make any reference having won. No.

0:41:32.600 --> 0:41:36.120
<v Speaker 2>You imagine if Michael Jordan would have done something like that,

0:41:38.920 --> 0:41:41.319
<v Speaker 2>like somebody say, you got a parachute because I'm gonna

0:41:41.440 --> 0:41:45.360
<v Speaker 2>get out of this plane. Paul Fine, bamb Hill join us.

0:41:46.360 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 2>What is the future of college sports? College football? I

0:41:52.160 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 2>got questions. I don't know if he's got answers. More

0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 2>phone calls as well on this Monday back after this
