WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Andrew Thomas (04-01-20) 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.600 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.520 Sports Radio. What up? Good morning to you, Dan Patrick Show, 0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:13.640 Fox Sports Radio, Doug Gottlieb, Chris Broussard joining me all 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.160 morning long as we're here for you. Man. We actually 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:22.960 we had a really good show. Very excited. Andrew Thomas 0:00:22.960 --> 0:00:26.160 is gonna join US offensive tackle George Bulldogs, seen as 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:29.600 a top fifteen pick in a loaded draft for offense. 0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:34.120 How are you good? First? I did this Monday with 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.480 Jason Smith. Is there something you're doing around the house 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:40.279 now that you just either hadn't had time or the 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:45.159 desire to do previously. Yes, I've been cleaning up my attic, 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:50.280 going through all I got, you know, newspapers, magazines, all 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:54.280 types of junk boxes, just everywhere. It's actually been good 0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:59.120 to halftime to clean this up, and I'm feeling good 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.400 about it. You know how it is the in our 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.160 profession or any job where you it's a lot of 0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:10.920 mental work for you. Your job, mindless work can be relaxing. 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.400 I used to love cutting the grass in the summer 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.200 in the off season, you know, just because you could 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:20.600 do it without thinking. And this is that's kind of 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.560 some stuff I'm doing right now. So it's actually been 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.160 a little bit refreshing once I'm done with all that. Yeah, 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:29.320 I don't know what I'm gonna do. We do. I mean, 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:31.800 I don't know what the weather's like there in southern California. 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.120 It turned to be nice, like last week it was 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.600 we had a lot of rain. Lay I'm not gonna complain, 0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.679 like we had real weather. But now that it's nice 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.760 every day, the walks you take with your kids and 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:49.400 with your wife whatever, like it's a it's a different deal. 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.720 It's yeah, you know you actually have time. Yeah, and 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:57.440 aren't you seeing more people out in your neighborhood than 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:01.320 ever before? Yes? And now my neighborhood is generally one 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.120 in which people old people walk and people walk their 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:06.840 dogs and their their kids. But now you're like everybody's 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.320 out bike rides with with with kids and families or whatever. 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.440 And it does feel like there's a little bit of 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.880 settling into what this new normal was. I will tell 0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:19.080 you we got, we got. We've been getting these emails. Now, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:22.160 you have two in college, right, Yes, so they're not 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:25.880 actually in college, but whatever. Um, but when you have 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.400 when they're in school, it depends on the school. But 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.640 the public schools. We've gotten like a call every night. 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.880 It's like check your email, So you check your email, 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.160 and every day it's pushed back as to when they 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:40.919 expect to be back on campus. Last night, we got 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.200 the call June first, and they got a school in 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:47.320 our neighborhood like the end of June. So basically we 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.800 were told they're not going back to school. You guys 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:51.440 figured it out. I mean, we still have the distance 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:55.360 learning thing, but it is it. I'm surprised that so 0:02:55.360 --> 0:02:59.200 so school returning to school was an option, still can 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.360 still cons it at an option, still considered option, yes, 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.239 but it in one day. It went from May first 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.239 or May fifth or something like that too. Then you 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:10.800 get a call last night and it's June one, which 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.280 I'm sure tonight it'll be you know what is don't 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:17.200 come around. We're good, we're good here. But still this 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:21.079 is the the new normal. No sports on TV. There 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:25.680 was a doc HBO documentary on this FBI scandal following 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.239 around Christian Dawkins. We'll get to that. The NFL Draft 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.280 is gonna continue, is gonna go virtual draft. Some including 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:37.160 Adam Schefter of our old place, have voiced their concerns 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.440 as if there's people just dying in the streets obviously, 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.360 like the outlook is potentially grim, but let's not overdo it. 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:48.720 A virtual draft. I don't think we'll we'll change it. 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:52.360 Was make the Earth spin off its access in any way. Um, 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.640 and then you have the NFL, and I'm interested in 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.960 this from you. The NFL voted and you and I 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.040 discussed this when we did first things first, like a 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:04.320 month ago, that they can expand the playoffs. One additional 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.560 was it it's an additional team in each in each 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:12.200 which gives a seven, which is fourteen of the thirty 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:15.200 two will qualify for the playoffs. First in terms of 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:20.000 expansion four or against. You know, when they first announced it, 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 I felt like, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.800 You know, I'm fine. I mean, I think the NFL 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.360 playoffs system is perfect the way it was, and I 0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.839 had no problems at all. There was no part of 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360 me thinking, man, wouldn't it be great if they had 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.320 more teams in the playoffs or anything like that. However, 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.240 now that they've changed it again, I didn't see the need. 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.360 But I'm fine with it because you still, as you said, 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.640 it's fourteen of the thirty two teams. That's still a 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:52.000 small much smaller percentage than the NBA where they're sixteen 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:55.960 of thirty and the NHL, where they're sixteen to thirty one. 0:04:56.000 --> 0:05:00.080 Now baseball's ten of thirty, so that's the toughest to 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.160 make the playoffs. But I'm fine with it. I do 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.599 think it puts it takes away. It gives a bigger 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:10.720 advantage to the number one seed because, as we know, Doug, 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.000 the last seven years, all of the teams that have 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:17.080 made the Super Bowl had the first round by sue. 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.559 New England never won the Super Bowl without the bye. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.840 So now only that number one seed in each conference 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.359 is going to get to buy. So I think that 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.120 is a greater advantage than I'd like to see the 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.000 number one seed have. But on the other hand, I 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:36.200 can argue maybe that makes the regular season mean even 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.679 more that you know everybody's vuying for that number one seed. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.719 So I'm fine with it. As long as it doesn't 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.840 get two lopsided where you've got too many teams making 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.520 the playoffs, I think it'll be good. Christ Brush got 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.160 Laby in for Dan and the Dans here in the 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:56.680 Dan Patrick Show Fox Sports Radio. I just I feel like, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:06:00.719 is the NFL watering down the playoffs? Yes, yes, of 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.960 course they are. You know, another team in It's like, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:06.320 did we really need and and Major League Baseball, you know, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:09.520 which which had the fewest number of teams, As you 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.359 point out, they kind of expanded and they did this 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.720 kind of fake playoff thing where they had the play 0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:18.560 in game, which that's crazy, one hundred and sixty two 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:23.400 games comes down to one. Yeah, it's not I do 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.279 those things that sounded Huh? Don't you think now maybe 0:06:27.320 --> 0:06:29.640 they if they increased that to a three game series 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.359 or something to be better. But don't you think the 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:39.000 baseball playoffs have improved since they've added the extra teams? Uh, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.200 there was nothing in it. There's never anything wrong with 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.680 the baseball playoffs to begin with. Um, they were, They 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.080 were good then and they're good now. I don't think 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.640 that the extra wildcard game, the play in game, I 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.719 don't think. I don't think that's served any real purpose 0:06:54.839 --> 0:07:00.200 other than making more people more teams think they got 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.080 a shot at getting in late in the season, Like 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.760 the actual playoffs themselves, which have changed. It is and 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.880 it is right because you still do have that, you know, 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.160 you still have that we'll wait one game and then 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.920 and then there are you know, wild cards. If if 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:20.040 your Red Sox Yankees or you know you you know, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.320 pick the whoever the second best team in the best 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.840 division in baseball is. Now you're going to lose your 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:28.560 ace for your first series because you got to be 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.320 the team that just got in by the skin of 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:32.920 their chinny chinchin. So, I I don't know, I don't 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:34.520 know if it's helped it. I'll say this about the 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:39.520 NFL um the NFL is is basically it's another genius 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:43.120 way in which Roger Goodell is going to his career 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.640 is not gonna it'll be a footnote the stuff with 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.240 the Ray Rice and some of the other issues that 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:54.640 they've had with player conduct, which in truth you don't 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:57.040 know if the commissioner should have to deal with, but 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:01.840 he did. And but the real, the real inside baseball 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:05.640 in this case, inside football thing on Goodella's he's been 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:09.680 brilliant at creating revenue where you felt like they were 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:13.800 previously tapped out, right, Like remember he brought back Thursday 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:18.160 night Football and then and while doing it, made them 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.880 carry it on the NFL network. It didn't go particularly well. 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.440 Then he made them split it CBS at NBC. It 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:29.080 still didn't go that well. Then Fox actually paid more money. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.040 They gave him a better schedule, and you know it 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.440 now it works. Thursday night football is here, here to stay. 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.520 It's not coming out of the new next ten years 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.960 the collected Bart agreement. Right. So then he's got the 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.680 games in Mexico when they've gone off, they've got more 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.720 games in London. Again. These just more revenue that's created. 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.400 And when you start to get tapped out, the only 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:50.080 way to get more TV revenue when you're getting ready 0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.960 to negotiate with all these big companies is to give 0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.640 them more product. And that's what they've done. Now. Did 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.520 you see that one of the wild card game will 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.800 be simulca I believe on Nickelodeon. Do you see that? No? 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:08.160 I didn't. Yes, yes, yes. In an effort to to 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:12.320 expand their audience to a younger generation, they're gonna play 0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.280 one of these games on Nickelodeon with like a kid's 0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:22.720 style broadcast team, a kid's style. Why they don't know 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:26.760 SpongeBob will be involved. As you said that, I'm thinking, 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:32.840 why why does that help being on Nickelodeon. But with 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:37.360 a kid's style broadcast team, and you know, I'm sure 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.240 everything will be geared toward kids the entire broadcast. That 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:43.760 makes sense, And that's pretty good. And I think, Doug, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.800 this is in somewhat of an answer. I think to 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.840 um the fact that you know, not as many kids 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.760 are playing football correct now as obviously kids still wildly 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.720 into football, but as far as playing it, not as 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.400 many are doing it. Yeah, it's a good idea. It's 0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.360 a it's an interesting it feels like an adult idea 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.000 telling you what kids are into. Where it's like kids like, yeah, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.559 we know football exists, like we're really well well aware 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:13.400 of it. Yeah, I've never had a problem. But it's 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:17.079 it's you know it. Uh they still people are still 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:19.720 gonna play. I also, I also don't think that's really 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.520 the demo of kids that are going to that that 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:25.120 are going to be into it. Man. So maybe that's 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.280 what they're thinking is we'll expand to that. But you know, 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:31.080 kids that are sports kids aren't watching Nickelodeon. They're just 0:10:31.160 --> 0:10:35.840 not watch They watch YouTube, okay, and they watch sports, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.560 and kids that watch Nickelodeon watch Nickelodeon. But you know 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.560 what makes it I agree with you because that was 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.640 my first thought as well. I'm sure they're just watching 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.320 it on you know, Fox and and the other networks 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:53.080 that that air of football. However, if the broadcast is 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:56.840 totally geared toward kids, yes, that makes it a little 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.480 bit intriguing. It'll be a smaller part of the audience. 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.200 But I think that's that's not a bad idea. And 0:11:03.720 --> 0:11:06.680 even if it's not getting the kids that may play 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:10.280 the game, it's still getting kids that may want to 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:14.040 be broadcasters, may want to be sports writers, you know, 0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.600 are just into it for fantasy. So I think in 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.040 that regard, he could it's a good idea. No, it's look, 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.800 it's gonna be interesting. Obviously, it does open up totally 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.240 different sponsors. Couldn't you watch Nick? You know there's there's 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.680 different sponsors. It'll be it'll be interesting though with you know, 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.640 are you gonna do you know kids are by then 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:33.960 are they going to be doing vine and not vines? Uh? 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.920 To TikTok's right, you'll be doing TikTok span whatever. The 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.960 next thing is, I just you know, you you I 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.600 have twin thirteen year olds and a ten year old. 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.920 If you're watch sports and life through their eyes, it's 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.680 a completely different lens. Just it just is um not 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.640 just their attention span. They're not you know when once 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.200 they get into Netflix and watching streaming stuff, they're not 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.400 used to commercials, right, you know, there's just a lot 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:03.800 of things that they're not so and then of course 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.520 it'll be programmed by probably fifty and sixty year olds 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.280 who are going to try and determine based upon their 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.719 kids and grandkids what kids want to see or what 0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.520 they should see. That that, to me is is super interesting. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.600 And then in terms of the seating part, I'm with you. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.200 I understand the status you're giving in that. You know, 0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.880 last seven years, to win a Super Bowl you got 0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:27.280 to have a buy. Of course, now there's only one buy. 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.000 So what does that do to the number two seats? 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:33.120 And think of how different this year's NFL would have been. 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.120 Everybody's talking about the back end of it, right that 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.040 the what the Steelers and the Rams would have made 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.760 the playoffs? What about the front end of it? Remember 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.680 the Ravens were the one seed they lost at home. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.040 But think of the think of the NFC in that 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:52.120 the Niners were really a play away from a Seattle 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.720 had Seattle not completely botched a late game situation at 0:12:56.800 --> 0:13:00.480 home against the Niners. The Niners have to go on 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:04.040 the road for their playoff playoff run as opposed to 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.800 they get the one seed, and now the one seed 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.200 will become even bigger. I do wonder if it's if 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.440 it's too much skewing, too much favoring in the favor 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.040 of the team that ends up with the one seed. Yeah, 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:17.520 that's the one thing I don't like about it, Doug. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.400 I mean, look, more playoff football, I think is great. 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:23.640 I think part of this is that the NFL and 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.240 not that they have to take cues from the NBA, obviously, 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:31.040 but you know, Doug, the NBA playoffs is so long. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.360 It's two and a half months. Yes, it's like a 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.560 whole separate season, and it is the best part of 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:40.120 the year, and they dominate, you know, especially you know, 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:42.800 the first round, which usually isn't that big of a deal, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.920 is great because it's the big forty games and forty nights, 0:13:47.040 --> 0:13:49.640 you know, that's how it's advertised and all that. And 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.360 I think the NFL can look at that and say, hey, 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:57.360 people love football. They can't get enough. The more the merrier, 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.160 I agree with you. You don't want to water down 0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:02.800 the playoffs too much. But again, fourteen of thirty two 0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:06.400 I don't really have a problem with. My biggest problem 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.400 is exactly what we've just been talking about is the seeding. 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.559 I think it's too much of an advantage for the 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.400 number one seed. Now, as you said, Baltimore just got 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:17.240 beat as the number one seed, so it's not going 0:14:17.320 --> 0:14:20.760 to make it automatic that they get to the Super Bowl. 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:25.240 But I think when you got seven teams in the 0:14:25.320 --> 0:14:30.320 field in each conference, and to give thee one seed 0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.520 that big of an advantage, I think is a little 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.600 a little too much. I was fine with the top 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.800 two teams getting that, but just one it's a big advantage. 0:14:40.800 --> 0:14:43.880 But hey, it is what it is, and you mentioned it. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.000 I think last year the NFC was so close. Now, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:53.960 obviously San Francisco was just a nightmarish matchup for Green Bay, 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:58.200 but otherwise it was very close, and I think something 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:02.640 like San Francisco getting the first see you probably would 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.760 have had a different team in the in the Super Bowl. 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.120 All right, come up next, Christ Perustar Doug gotli Evan 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.560 for Dan the Dnets here on the Dan Patrick Show. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.800 The Miami Dolphins need a quarterback want a quarterback. The 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:19.280 Cincinnati Bengals seem to be in line to draft said quarterback. 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:25.160 Should should Cincinnati trade that number one overall pick. We'll 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.960 get to that next. So chrispers start. I'm Dug Gotli. 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:30.080 This is the Dan Patrick Show. Be sure to catch 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.720 the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show week days 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.280 at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.920 Radio in the iHeart Radio WAPP. Chris, I don't know 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.080 if you saw the story of Armando Sagaro from the 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.840 Miami Herald said that the Dolphins want to trade up 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.800 to get Joe Burrow. Now, look, I I'm trying to 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.640 think if there's a Bengals in the NBA or a 0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:58.200 Bengals elsewhere in sports. And when I say Bengals, automatically 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.080 there's gonna be people who have this negative connotation about 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:02.600 how bad they've been the past two years. And they've 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:04.040 been bad, but people forget they did go to the 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:07.480 playoffs five consecutive years. But they're just an organization that 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.720 has seen, as you know, frugal to the point of 0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:13.280 being cheap. They build only from within. They're not a 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:16.720 big free agency team, and they'll take because they're going 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:18.600 through the draft, they'll dumpster dive a little bit and 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.720 take a guy who might have a knock against him 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.440 if they can get him, you know, in the second, third, 0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:29.000 fourth round, when they're really a first or second round talent. Absolutely, 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:31.240 they're used. The Clippers used to be that team under 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.200 Donald Sterling. I think they used to be that team. 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.520 But they all rugality and all that. Now, now, the 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:38.640 Bengals did win a Super Bowl, right, get to a 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:41.760 Super Bowl? Right? Um, And like you said they did. 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.640 They were a perennial playoff team at one point recently 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.240 under Marvin Lewis. But yeah, the Clippers, I mean, they 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:52.360 didn't care about winning. They just want to make money. 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.800 I mean, look, remember they signed they had the big 0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.840 Baron Davis and Elton brand signing right there. There were 0:16:57.920 --> 0:17:00.600 times in which they decided to spend money. They try, 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.480 Yeah they did, but they had a terrible reputation in 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.640 the sport, not yeah, being being cheap. Obviously, they didn't 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.800 have their own build. The building they had was was terrible. 0:17:09.800 --> 0:17:12.080 There's a debt looted. Okay, So if we say Clippers 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:17.240 under Sterling is Bengals, Okay, I'm okay with that. So 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:20.800 here the Bengals are, and look, it's the perfect storm 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:23.200 for them. They need a quarterback. There's a quarterback available. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.479 He's an Ohio kid, just won the National Championship, won 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:27.600 the Heisman Trophy. He had the best season maybe the 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.320 history of the sport at the position. And oh yeah, 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:32.800 by the way, they they the number one pick. Now 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:35.479 you're under club control. He's gonna make a reasonable sum 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.879 of money. Like, the whole thing just lines up right. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.240 Last year's first round picks and offensive tackle sat out, 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.240 they missed. The year he's back. They got some offensive 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.439 line help on the way. AJ greenback Joe Mixon, like 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:52.120 all that stuff works. But if the Dolphins have three 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:57.399 first round picks, it would be a colossal trade for 0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.600 the Dolphins to move up. But and I don't think 0:18:00.640 --> 0:18:03.359 they will do it. If you're the Bengals, don't you 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:08.359 consider doing it. Here's my look. If I'm the Bengals, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.920 you gotta listen to everything, because, as you said, if 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:15.960 you can get that type of hall from Miami, then 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:20.320 you gotta consider it. However, you mentioned the offensive line 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:25.600 should improve. They've got some great players really. AJ Green obviously, 0:18:25.640 --> 0:18:28.040 assuming he comes back the way it was Joe Mixon 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.880 is obviously good. You got some really good players at 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.080 the skills spots. What you need is a quarterback, and 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.960 you've got a guy right there now. If I was 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.720 confident that I could get Ta if I fail to five, 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:45.680 then I would do it in a heartbeat a heartbeat. 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.359 But I don't think they can be that confident that 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.080 they get him, because you know, some people still have 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.320 Washington taking to a at number two. I don't know 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:58.240 if they will. And does a team move up and 0:18:58.400 --> 0:19:01.680 try to trade with Detroit? I mean, does Detroit take him? 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.400 But if Detroit doesn't take him, do they trade down 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:06.640 and somebody else moves up to get him? You don't 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.960 have to worry about the Giants at four. But that's 0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:13.720 my concern again. I like Burrow, I don't I don't 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.600 know if I like him better than Tuah. I think 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:19.320 they're very close. I would be totally fine with getting 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.320 too if I'm Cincinnati, but I don't think I can 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:26.600 get him at five. So for that reason, if I'm 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.280 the Bengals, even though I look at the offer from Miami, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.600 I go ahead and I draft Joe Burrow. I'm with 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:35.440 you on a point you made, which is a really 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:37.520 good one, which is like, look, if you can get 0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.080 Tah and I've seen other few. Point, if there's a 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.760 way in which you can say, all right, Miami, you 0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.120 want to climb up this ladder, come on and climb 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:48.400 up this ladder. But you know, you gotta make sure 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.439 that you hand us the three picks so that we 0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:53.159 can figure out a way that we know what Detroit 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.720 wants that we work together. Look, the problem with all 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:59.119 of this is one the Bengals aren't gonna do it, 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:04.160 and to his injury makes it even more problematic because 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.439 in order to make a trade that big and to 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.280 go after a player of the importance of Tuah, you're 0:20:09.320 --> 0:20:11.480 gonna you're gonna want to have your own people fine 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:14.399 toothcomb him and you know, check out his health. And 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:18.720 I don't know if that's possible between now and the draft. Yeah, 0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:22.639 I doubt it is. And that's a great point. Um, 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:26.120 Are you worried generally about ta Because I'll tell you what. 0:20:26.480 --> 0:20:28.600 And I kind of feel like I learned my lesson. 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:32.320 Even though every guy is different, and obviously this guy 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.120 proved to be some type of physical specimen Adrian Peterson. 0:20:36.680 --> 0:20:39.120 I thought he was banged up a lot in college, 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.399 and I thought, if he was banged up in college, 0:20:42.400 --> 0:20:44.640 he's not gonna he's not gonna be able to survive 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.560 that long in the NFL. Obviously that wasn't the case. 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.800 He was fine. Um, but generally if a guys has 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.640 been beat up in college, you tend to think he's 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.440 going to have some problems in the pros. But I 0:20:57.480 --> 0:21:01.000 feel better about Tuah now and and I kind of feel, 0:21:01.800 --> 0:21:04.480 you know, safe about him, you know, being a guy 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.679 that you don't have to worry about getting hurt all 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.800 the time in the NFL. Yeah. Um, you know, Look, 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.480 there's one side of it that says, you know, Carson 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:14.479 Wentz hurt in college, gets hurt in the pros, Deshaun 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:16.680 Watson towards a cl and college towards the ACL and 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.760 the pros. You know, he's added the collapse lung whatever 0:21:21.600 --> 0:21:23.960 I would be. I am concerned about two. And I'll 0:21:23.960 --> 0:21:26.600 tell you why. It's not just the injuries with a 0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:32.400 litany of them. It's he's not big. He is. He's 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.080 basically six feet tall. He's left handed, and as much 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:37.200 as you'd say, like what's the big deal, there aren't 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:39.680 any other left handed quarterbacks in the NFL, they just aren't. 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:42.679 You know, Dez Bryant's the last left handed touchdown thrower. 0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:46.720 That's it, you know. So uh and and then you 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:50.439 throw in the he's been injured. Now, he's a spectacular talent, 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:54.560 but all if you consider both ankle injuries and the 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.520 hip injury, all of those injuries have been when college 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.920 defensive lineman track him down. And at the college defensive 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:03.679 lineman track you down and hurt you. What do you 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.879 think the pros are gonna do? So, yes, I would 0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:12.320 be really really concerned. But in trying to evaluate him 0:22:12.400 --> 0:22:15.240
