Lakers a half game behind the Blazers. 14 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: The seating is still in flux. We'll run that down here. 15 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: Coming up in a little bit. The NFL is still 16 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: investigating to Shaun Watson and will he be put on 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: the commissioner's exempt list. We'll explore that topic. Also, could 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,399 Speaker 1: we see load management in the NFL this year? They 19 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: added the extra gang. Talking to a source last night 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: who said, I wouldn't be surprised if You're going to 21 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: see some load management from some players and some teams. 22 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: We'll have a pull question, play of the day, stat 23 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: of the day, all of that coming up. Got an 24 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: emotional weekend in Springfield, Massachusetts the Basketball Hall of Fame 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 1: induction ceremony. Kobe Bryant is part of the class at 26 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. They'll be honored on Saturday. Michael Jordan will 27 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: present Kobe. Michael's own induction speech probably wasn't his finest 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: moment because he was clearly struggling to let go of 29 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,639 Speaker 1: some grudges passed in present. Now he gets another chance 30 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: to talk about a player that used to idolize him. 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: Idolize him, and Kobe came into the league trying to 32 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: be like Mike. We remember the ad campaign with Nike 33 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: be like Mike. Well, Kobe wanted to be like Mike 34 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: and was the closest to being like Mike. It wasn't 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: one of those you know, is he worthy enough. He 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: eventually proved himself to be worthy to be in that 37 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: same conversation with Jordan, and the two became close friends. 38 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest surprise from all of 39 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: the people who spoke at the memorial when Kobe passed 40 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: away and Michael started talking about his personal relationship with 41 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,640 Speaker 1: Kobe and Michael's private and I don't think most of 42 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: us knew anything about that, but they became two close friends, 43 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: and Kobe paid it forward. A whole generation of players 44 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 1: wanted to be like Kobe, just like a whole generation 45 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: wanted to be like Mike, and Kobe embraced those players. 46 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: The number of players who said that Kobe would reach out, 47 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 1: He was always there to help them. Kobe's loss still stings, 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: and we celebrate his Hall of Fame career, and who 49 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: would have thought we would be celebrating it posthumously, but well, 50 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: Jordan will be there as a presenter. Tim Duncan is 51 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: going to be presented by David Robinson. Kevin Garnett presented 52 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: by Isaiah Thomas, Rudy Tom Jonovitch, the former Rockets coach 53 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,279 Speaker 1: and player, presented by Calvin Murphy and A Kim Elijahwan. 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: Kim Mulkey, who just left Baylor to go to l 55 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 1: I Shoe is going to be presented by Michael Jordan 56 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: as well. Eddie Sutton presented by John Caliperry, Bill Self 57 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: and Sydney Moncreef the Hall of Fame coaches. Can you 58 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: think of two more different Hall of Fame speeches than 59 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. They seem like polar opposites 60 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,839 Speaker 1: as public speakers, and the fact that they went toe 61 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,119 Speaker 1: to toe their entire careers and then here they are. 62 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: I still go back to that story that I tell 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: and I have from a reliable source that this happened. 64 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan is on the elevator at the All Star Game. 65 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett gets on the elevator and KG is still 66 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: trying to intimidate Tim Duncan. And they might have been 67 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: on the same team, on the Western Conference team fro 68 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: I know. But you know there's no crowd, there's nobody around, 69 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: and apparently Kevin Garnett is talking trash to Tim Duncan. 70 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: You know when you stand on the elevator and you 71 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: have somebody there and you know they want to talk 72 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: to you, but you don't want to talk to them. 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: You just stare straight ahead, or you know, you fidget 74 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: with the buttons or maybe your phone. So from what 75 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm told, Tim just stood there. So here's two six ten, 76 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: six to eleven guys, and they're on the elevator and 77 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: Tim is just staring straight ahead and KG is apparently 78 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: yelling at Tim just in his ear, talking trash to 79 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: Tim Duncan, and Tim didn't acknowledge KG. Yeah, seeden. So 80 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Tim was just looking down at his fingers at all 81 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: these rings. He's like, Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. 82 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I was just admiring. No, that's where you put the 83 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: two rings in your ears and you go, I start, 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't you hear you? I there's a ringing in 85 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: my ear. Yes, I was wondering. KG picked Isaiah Thomas. 86 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: Is that? Why are they just the best trash talkers? Isaiah? 87 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: I guess Chicago Kids is presented. Yeah, it was Isaiah 88 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: trash talker like that. It's like, no, not that I'm 89 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: aware of. I think there are other players on the 90 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: Bad Boys that were, but I don't know Isaiah was. 91 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: He was a competitor and a fighter, but I don't 92 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: know if he was somebody like they're very few people 93 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: like Gary Payton would be somebody that would rival Kevin Garnett. 94 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: I mean, there's certain guys that you just go they 95 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: take it to another level. And Gary Payton was like that. 96 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: You know, the glove was not afraid to let you know. Yeah, paul, 97 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: I love that Michael Jordan Isaiah Thomas could be near 98 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: each other at the same time, even crossing in each 99 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: other's eye paths on the same stage. It could be go, 100 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: oh god, they hate each other. That's so good. I 101 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: forgot all about that. There's this great clip you've seen 102 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: that documentary the The Dream Team. Yeah, and they talk 103 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 1: about Michael Jordan and he sits down for this interview 104 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: right before the Dream Team is going to go to 105 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: Barcelona whatever, and he looks at the producer I goes 106 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: no Iday Thomas questions and it's okay, like he's totally paranoid, Pauli. 107 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 1: It's barth barth Alona, Bona, Barthlona.

The playoff picture is a little bit complicated. 114 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,279 Speaker 1: If the Lakers win both games against the Pacers and 115 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 1: the Pelicans in Indiana and also in New Orleans. The 116 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: Blazers lose their one remaining game to Denver, the Lakers 117 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: will be the number six seed. The Blazers host the 118 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: Nuggets on Sunday at nine. Blazers with what I thought 119 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: was a very very suspicious call that went against them, 120 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: they lost last night to the Phoenix Suns. The Blazers 121 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: are in a complicated situation. Unlike the Lakers, they aren't 122 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: ready to welcome a four time MVP back into the lineup. 123 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: The season is fully on the line against the Denver Nuggets, 124 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: and Denver still has a chance to jump up to 125 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: number three, so it doesn't look like they're going to 126 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: be resting their starters if everybody is healthy, probably playing 127 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: in that game against the Portland Trailblazers, and Terry Stotts, 128 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: Portland's head coach, is probably coaching for his job, So 129 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of drama left. McLevin, you got 130 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: a pull question for me today? Okay, it's that time 131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: of year to play the game. What is a team 132 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: that you don't want to play in the playoffs NBA? 133 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 1: And this is basically I'm asking because I have no 134 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the seating and I have no idea, 135 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: like does the Clippers have to avoid the Mavericks at 136 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: the number six seed? Like who are the teams that 137 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: people are scared of? I would think with Luca, But 138 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: then you know, it feels like Dame Lillard. We know 139 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: that he can hurt you, and he comes up big 140 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. He had forty last night in the 141 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: in the loss. Also, keep in mind the race for 142 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: the three and four seed in the West, the Clippers 143 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: and Denver. Right now, Denver owns the tiebreaker, and uh, 144 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: you know, so Denver's got Portland, he got at Detroit 145 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: as well. LA plays Houston and at Oklahoma City. The 146 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: race for one two, Utah and Phoenix the sons of 147 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: the tiebreaker, and uh, you've got Utah playing at Oklahoma 148 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 1: City and then Sacramento. Phoenix plays at San Antonio twice. 149 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of drama left here to unfold, certainly 150 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: in the West. In the uh the final weekend of 151 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: the regular season. Yes, mclov Yeah. Can you imagine being 152 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: the one or two seed in the West and have 153 00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: the have to play the Lakers in the first round? 154 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 1: That terrible? Yeah, My Sacramento Kings lost to the Memphis Grizzlies. 155 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: They will not be in the playoffs again. I probably 156 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: could have reported this months ago. Fifteenth consecutive season the 157 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: Kings will miss the postseason. That ties the NBA record 158 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: set by the Clippers from nineteen seventy seven to nineteen 159 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: ninety one. That's the longest in NBA history. The Kings 160 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: have had ten head coaches during this fifteen season drought. 161 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: Here's some other things about the Sacramento Kings that I 162 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: learned CBS Sports providing this some notable draft decisions from 163 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings during this period. The Kings took Tyreek 164 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: Evans over Steph Curry, Bismack Biumbo over Clay Thompson and 165 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Kemball walk, Thomas Robinson over Damian Lillard, Ben McLamore over 166 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: the Greek Freak, Nick Stauskis over Zach Levine, Willie Collie 167 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: Stein over Devin Booker, Marquis Chris over Demontis Sabonis, Marvin 168 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: Bagley Junior the third over Luca don chick Oh. But 169 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: it gets even worse. They gave up an unprotected first 170 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: round pick and swapped rights on another first round pick 171 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: to dump enough salary to sign Monte Ellis in free agency. 172 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: That was in twenty fifteen. Ellis declined the offer and 173 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: then signed with Indiana for a bigger offer. The Kings 174 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: had already made the trade and the player with that 175 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 1: selection they swapped with Philadelphia, Jason Tatum. Sacramento has had 176 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: only one player make the All Star Game during the drought, 177 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: Demarca's Cousins. It's hard to be this bad. It almost 178 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: seems like, hey, we're gonna try to be bad because 179 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,199 Speaker 1: it used to be the Clippers where you go that 180 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: and laughing stock. Now it's Sacramento Kings. And granted there 181 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,559 Speaker 1: are a couple of games out of a playoff spot, 182 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,479 Speaker 1: even with a playing game playing game sponsored by State Farm, 183 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings on the outside looking in again. Yes, poem, 184 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: why don't you become the King's GM and president. You're 185 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: you're in, you know the franchise, you know basketball. You 186 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: really couldn't do worse. You're a pretty well known guy. 187 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: You could do it from here. You don't have to 188 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: live there. You can go visit a couple times a year. 189 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: You should do it. That'd be a good gig for you. Yeah, 190 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: you could keep this job. You love purple, Yeah, but 191 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of black and blue though comes along 192 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,719 Speaker 1: with being thinking Ali with Sacramento Kings. Yes, mclub. Do 193 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: you remember when Peter Vessey applied to be the Nuggets 194 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: GM and is very serious, but they didn't take them. Yeah, 195 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: they've been some jumps, Lee Jenkins, our friend went to 196 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: the Clippers. I believe they have the writer from sports 197 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: illustrator man. No, I know. I don't want to do that. No, 198 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: I got a tough enough job here. I'm dealing with 199 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: the Sacramento Kings. Remember your old days as an NBA 200 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 1: fantasy owner? How into it you were? Did you say 201 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: you were making trades while on Yes, I was. Yes, 202 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: I was very very unprofessional, very unprofessional. When Oberman would 203 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: be on camera, I'd be trying to pull off a 204 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: trade that would get me Alonzo Mourning, Glenn Rice and 205 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:39,319 Speaker 1: Stacy Augman. Yes, yeah, you needed block shots. That's good, 206 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: and of course I did because you took all shooters 207 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: at during the draft. I know how you were. Yeah. 208 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: Another post question, who's the top three seat that's most 209 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 1: likely to bow out early? If you look at the 210 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: Sixers who got destroyed last night by the heat, the 211 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: Nets and the Bucks in the East and the Jazz 212 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: Phoenix Clippers in the West. If you put that up, 213 00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: I have a fear that my sixers are gonna be 214 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: the team that people are going to vote is not 215 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: gonna last long. Well, they might meet the Miami Heat 216 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: in the second round. And I'm talking about the Heat. 217 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: Eunonis Haslem, who is still playing in the NBA. Well, 218 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 1: he dresses and he plays for the Miami Heat. He 219 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: got ejected last night and this is his first appearance 220 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: of the season. He got in and he and Dwight 221 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: Howard went at each other, and here's Udonis Haslem, the 222 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: Heat forward, on getting tossed. If this is the last one, 223 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: I finished it. The only way Udonis haslm could with 224 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 1: an Ejacian was that a hint. I said. If if 225 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 1: it was a fifth we all be drunk. If if Jim, 226 00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: if he had four points in three minutes of work, 227 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: if you pro rate that, I had some pretty impressive basketball. Yep. Yeah. 228 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: If you look at if he played thirty six minutes 229 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: a game, he'd be averaging forty eight points and twelve 230 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: rey mounds a game. What are you keeping this guy 231 00:13:55,080 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 1: in the bench for? Well, rested six. There's lost of 232 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 1: the heat last night, failing to lock up the number 233 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: one seed in the East. Philly has one game up 234 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: on Brooklyn. Phoenix kept its hopes alive for the number 235 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: one seed. With the winner for San Antonio. The Suns 236 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: are one game behind Utah for the top spot in 237 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: the conference. There. Yes, mccleman by, yesterday's Paul is still up. 238 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry to bring this up, but it's been 239 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: it's been a thing. Do you like deviled eggs where 240 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: it's sixty eight percent? Say? Yes, I saw them outside, Dan, 241 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: it looks marvelous. Yeah, we had a controversy yesterday our 242 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: cameraman Weeks. He celebrated his birthday this week, and I 243 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: let him control the menu. And he's a healthy guy. 244 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Like we have broccoli today that we're cooking on the tragger. 245 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: We got pork, I think, and then we have deviled 246 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: eggs and not a doubled eggs guy. But it's Weeks's day. 247 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: I'm open minded. Let's put it that way. You know, 248 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 1: head deviled eggs to a party, Dan, they are on 249 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: before anything else. Okay, but the tregger makes everything taste good. 250 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to put the trigger to the test 251 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: with deviled eggs. It's too early to call Guy Fieri, 252 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: but maybe maybe I'll call or text Guy Fieri. I 253 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 1: need an advisor on deviled eggs here. Maybe maybe guys, 254 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: you know, not too busy, we can wake him up. Yeah, pulling. Yeah, 255 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: it's like the tragger chat came in one time. He 256 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: actually made Brussels sprouts and I ate him and they 257 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: were good. You know, so you gotta I'm gonna try it. Yeah, 258 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: Chad from Tregger Uh, you know, he can make anything 259 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: taste good. But now I got Tyler of the Moderator 260 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: out there, like he's running chat row taking care of 261 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: my puppy Winnie, and he's cooking, and I think in 262 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: that order. Yes, mccleman. By the way, they're adding bacon 263 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: to the devil day. I saw that you can add 264 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: bacon to anything now and it's better. Yeah, but you 265 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 1: guys got upset when we added bacon to Brussels sprouts, Like, 266 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: why do you need to add bacon to Brussels sprouts. 267 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, so, don't add bacon. Now you're acknowledging welcoming bacon. Well, 268 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: I saw people were mad. Remember we had those bloody 269 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 1: Mary's with bacon. Yeah, that's that might be a road 270 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: too far, or was it good? I've had an oyster 271 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: in a Bloody Mary Yeah, dude, that's the way to 272 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: do it. I've had.

Well, it is Friday, and I'm sorry, 282 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna yell me. And when is the 283 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: last time we can put up? Will Aaron Rodgers be 284 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: back with the Packers? Because it's been accumulating all week 285 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: I people are saying they would not have put five 286 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: games or the primetime schedule if they didn't. Well, two 287 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: of those they can flex out of. No one cares 288 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: about that detail. You're getting, my man, But the the 289 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: other thing I asked to degenerate in the back. You 290 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: can't really bet on him to return to the Packers, 291 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: although you can bet on his next team. That would 292 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: be Dylan, who does graphics here, like he's part time graphics, 293 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: full time gambler. So as this weekends and we let 294 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 1: we let the aroon Rodgers story go for a while, 295 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: you know, robbed him. Ops, he said five percent or less. 296 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: It's got to be fifty percent. He returns to the Packers, right, 297 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: all right? If, um, well, June one is really the date. 298 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: If anything's happening, it'll happen then or after that. But 299 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 1: I've said all along I thought he was staying. But 300 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: you know, given the dialogue back and forth, or the 301 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, the lack there of dialogue, I don't know. Um, 302 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: I'll still I'll still side with Rogers staying in Green Bank. 303 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: But I'm not looking at the primetime schedule and going, oh, 304 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 1: that's why he's guaranteed that he's going to stay. I 305 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: think they're saying, look, we can get out of this 306 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: if we have to with a couple of these games. 307 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: The big ticket item, though, the biggest game regular season 308 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: game in Patriots history, is going to be with Tom 309 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: Brady coming to town.

Now 350 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: you're a neutral fan, you're not a Patriots fan. Which 351 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: game is the must go to game? If I'm a 352 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: neutral fan, neutral fan, Yeah, you're not a Patriots fan. 353 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: You're not a Tom Brady fan. I would go to 354 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: the Cowboys Buccaneers really? Yeah? Yeah, I would season opener 355 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys always interesting. I mean the one with Brady and 356 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: New England is personal, certainly for New England fans. But 357 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: if you're not a Patriots fan or a Buccaneers fan, 358 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: that I would think the Cowboys might be a little 359 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: more interesting for you. Yes, boy, I wonder if you 360 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: offered a Boston sports fan tickets to the Patriots hosting 361 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: Tom Brady this uping season, yeah, or a couple of 362 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: tickets in a plane trip to the super Bowl. I 363 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: think that'd be a decision because we don't know who's 364 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and so we're not even we 365 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: don't even know what's happening in the Super We're assuming 366 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: the Patriots aren't in because they're not that great. Well, 367 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: I would rather take the game against Brady, yeah, oh yeah, 368 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 1: let's bring it. Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe Sports columnists, how 369 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: big a deal is this with this regular season matchup 370 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: Brady come into town? Well, Dan, it's a bigger deal 371 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,120 Speaker 1: than your makeate since you're going to the Cowboys opener 372 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: if you're a neutral, Yeah, but I'm I'm let's say 373 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm not a Patriot fan or a Brady fan. That's 374 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 1: the season opener. Pomp and circumstance. You got, you know, 375 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: you've got the concerts, you got all kinds of things. Yeah, 376 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 1: I hear that. And again, I don't consider myself particularly provincial, 377 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 1: but this thing, there's so much pathos here, so much 378 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 1: you know, history build up. As you say, it's personal, 379 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: it's epic. I mean, you know, you've got there's gonna 380 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: be arguments for both of these to be the greatest 381 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: ever what they did. And they were together twenty years. 382 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: They went to nine Super Bowls, they won six of them. 383 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, the notion of him coming in there 384 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: after winning the Super Bowl, after leaving with hard feelings 385 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: in Foxboro, with Bob Kraft there schmoozing on the sideline 386 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: and all the anger, you know, all the anger we 387 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: have here in New end with the Patriot fans, It'll 388 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: be a rare night, though, Dan, They'll be chairing no 389 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: matter what, because they loved the Patriots and they loved 390 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: Tom Brady. So there's gonna be a lot of cheering 391 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: every time either one scores. But we wondered yesterday if 392 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: before the game Brady gets it out of the way 393 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 1: and acknowledges Bill or vice versa, because you know Robert 394 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: Kraft who's going to be on the sidelines, and he's 395 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: gonna be hugging Tom. Oh yeah, but kissing him. Okay, 396 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: But but what happens with Brady and Belichick either before 397 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: or after the game, there might be a ceremonial thing, 398 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: not not much more than that. And I mean Tom's 399 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: kind of rubbed his face and he's been taught about 400 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: it a year. How much fun this is. He gets 401 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: to be the general manager, he gets Alex Guerrero back, 402 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,119 Speaker 1: they'll have Guerrero on a throne on the sideline. You know, 403 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: all the hard feelings, all the things that went on here, 404 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 1: you know Bill's saying, and you know he didn't exactly 405 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: have heart surgery when he came back and played with 406 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 1: a cut hand, and just the little subtle shots and 407 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: then and Bill's going to be. As soon as that 408 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: game's over, Bill's gonna be We're onto Houston. You know, 409 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 1: he will not talk about the emotion of coaching against Tom. 410 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 1: If you said to Belichick, you can schedule this game 411 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 1: or not have this game, like it would be his decision. 412 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: Do you think the fact that you're hosting Brady do 413 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: you think that he would want this. I think he'd 414 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: rather not because of all the circus and the noise, 415 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: the five months of build up, the ticket prices, and 416 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 1: the questions. He hates that. He hates all the ancillary stuff. 417 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: If you want to talk to him, ask him about 418 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: the Army Navy game. He'll talk to you about that 419 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: all day. He doesn't want to talk about the emotion 420 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: of coaching against Tom Brady. Do you think he cared 421 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: if Brady won the Super Bowl? Yes? Yes. Legacies are 422 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: important to all these guys, and I think that in 423 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: a way it made people that aren't paying close attention 424 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: to say, wow, it was Brady all along there you go, 425 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 1: Now we know and nobody wants to hear that when 426 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: you have his track record and he knows. It's a 427 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: stupid theory it's a stupid takeaway, but casual people that 428 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: love Tom, it's like, well, evidently it was all. It 429 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: was all the quarterback the whole time, which of course 430 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. When the Patriots were in the super Bowl 431 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: against the Eagles and I did an interview with Tom 432 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: a couple of days prior, and I said, when this 433 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: is all done, do you think you and Bill will 434 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 1: ever sit down and like open up the scrap book? 435 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: And he looked at me like that's the craziest question. 436 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 1: You could not He goes no, And I went and 437 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: like there wasn't anything further. It was like, no, no, 438 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: that's I believe that to be true. I think he's 439 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,239 Speaker 1: telling you the truth there. I think it was a 440 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: great professional relationship with a lot of mutual respect. I 441 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: think they grew apart as more and more people were 442 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: poking about who's getting the credit, who's getting the blame, 443 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,479 Speaker 1: and there were subtle shots all the time. I reponence 444 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: that thing about Brady had his hand cut open the 445 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,479 Speaker 1: week of the playoff game and then got stitched up 446 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,359 Speaker 1: the day before, and there was all this noise about, 447 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: oh Tom, what a warrior, how could he have done that? 448 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: And Bill says, it's not like he had open heart surgery. 449 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: There were always little shots like that, and then Tom 450 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: has been doing it like the whole time since he 451 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 1: left about how oh it's fun here, Come on down, 452 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: it's fun. They let you do what you want. You 453 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: don't have to go through all this misery, all this 454 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: misery of winning that they did for twenty years. Anyway, Yeah, 455 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: it's very real. I believe. Oh my god, it's not 456 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: like he had open heart surgery. If I would have 457 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: given you Garoppolo or Mac Jones last month, oh that's 458 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: a tough one. I'm kind of in on Garoppolo and 459 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: there's no learning curve there. He knows the system. You 460 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: wouldn't have to be looking at Cam Newton as Cam 461 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: Newton's gonna be the quarterback start of the season, and 462 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: that's going to cause another a lot of more noise here, 463 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 1: which Bill hates, Like when are you gonna go to 464 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: the kid if things don't get off quickly? If you 465 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 1: gave it to Garoppolo, you wouldn't have that. He knows 466 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: the system. You could put him in there. Bill hates 467 00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Rickie quarterbacks. There's going to be a learning curve of 468 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 1: Jone no matter what. But you don't know what the 469 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: future the kid's gonna be, and a good chance at 470 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: the next ten years of the kid is better than 471 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 1: the next ten years of Garoppolo. Yeah, I was just curious. 472 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 1: And then you you draft a Brady clone. Yep, you know, 473 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: a quarterback who's embraced the comparison to Tom Brady. So 474 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if he like is he afraid of 475 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 1: the big spotlight here? Doesn't seem like it. I don't think. 476 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 1: I don't think the quarterback is at all. But Bill 477 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: is afraid of putting a rookie quarterback into the into 478 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 1: the fire right out of the gate because he has 479 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: taken advantage of rickie quarterbacks for twenty years, but he 480 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: loves to play against it. So you if you were 481 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: a betting man of does Mac Jones play at all 482 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: this year? Yes, I think he plays, But I think 483 00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be I mean, it depends on how bad 484 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: Cam is. Of course, the big issue is going to 485 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: be a Cam's bad out of the gate. They get 486 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: off one and three, two and two, whatever, and there's 487 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: all this pressure to let the kid play. Bill hits 488 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: the cave into that. But I think by the end 489 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 1: of the year. I think that the idea is a 490 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: transition to Jones for next year. So yeah, you probably 491 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 1: want to look at him at the end, but it 492 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: depends on what's at stake, where they are in playoff positioning, 493 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: all that sort of thing. Before I let you go 494 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: the state of the Celtics here. Oh boy, it's funny 495 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 1: you say that I've got a call him with Danny Ainge. 496 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you instead of talking to Danny Ainge 497 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: right now because it's bad here Dan, and they are 498 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: five hundred team, which is unbelievable. After seventy games, they 499 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: have two left. They're gonna be the seventh seed and 500 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to do the play in round. This 501 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: team was in the finals of the conference three in 502 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,439 Speaker 1: the last four years. They have two All Stars in 503 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: Brown and Tatum, and there's excuses with COVID and injuries, 504 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 1: but overall it's been a very underachieving team that has 505 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: been unlikable. They get way behind in games and then 506 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: they ratchet up their defensive shot stock fall and they 507 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 1: play hard, very annoying team, very Unceltic like, not characteristic 508 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: of what folks around here and race. And they're behind 509 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: the eight ball because they've been fat and happy for 510 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,199 Speaker 1: a lot of years. But Brad Stevens, this is eight 511 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 1: years in and we're not seeing it's going the wrong way. 512 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,439 Speaker 1: Are you going to the Basketball Hall of Fame induction ceremony? 513 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: That's I wish I was the answers. No, that that's 514 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: a great event. Do you have a favorite story of 515 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:31,960 Speaker 1: any of those players, with Kobe or Duncan Burnett, Well, 516 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,959 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean the favorite story, of course is Duncan. 517 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: Rick Pettino came here assuming he was getting Duncan. What 518 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,960 Speaker 1: was he thinking. I mean, Rick Pettino left a really 519 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: good situation, came in here, took Red's name off the masthead, 520 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: and you know, had it all teed up for Tim Duncan, 521 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: and he ends up with Murdcer and Billips, who he 522 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 1: traded in a month. I mean he got three and 523 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: six instead of one. It was. It was franchise altering 524 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 1: for the next twenty five years. So that's my Tim 525 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: Duncan story. If Duncan had gone to the Celtics finished 526 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: that statement, I think that that Patino has a much 527 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: longer career here, and I think that you know, Pierce 528 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: would have come in they would have been good. They 529 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 1: would have been good in the early part of the century, 530 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: you know, instead of really bad and finding their way 531 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: to two thousand and eight. Of course, Garnett comes in 532 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 1: and rescues him, but the years between ninety six and 533 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight would have been far more pleasant 534 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: around here in basketball. Is Ange given enough credit to 535 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: pull off the trade to bring in Garnett that, like 536 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: Red Arbach would do that all the time. It felt like, 537 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 1: but you know, Danny's so his former teammate Kevin McHale 538 00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: is there, and they're they're basically saying, here, Danny, take 539 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: a future Hall of Famer and go win a championship. Well, 540 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: it has the appearance of a bad job. And when 541 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: I was a young guy covering that team, when Danny 542 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: and Kevin and Lowry were teammates, they would play cards 543 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: and Red would go buy and say, Danny, isn't that 544 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: against your religion? You can't play cards with those guys, 545 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: And Danny would points to so Larry and Kevin say Red, 546 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: it's not gambling against these guys. And then lo and behold, 547 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: twenty years go by and Kevin McHale gives him. Kevin Garnett. 548 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 1: Here's him a championship. So yeah, that would should have 549 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 1: been investigated. I'll let you get your phone call with 550 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: Danny Ainge. Good luck with that, Dan, thanks for joining us. 551 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. That's Dan Shaughnessy, Boston Globe. You know, 552 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: maybe I should reconsider if I'm just a neutral NFL 553 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: fan going to watch Brady in New England. It just 554 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: feels like, I don't know Brady Buccaneers Cowboys opening Night. 555 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: It's just a big moment. And having been a part 556 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,400 Speaker 1: of those games when I was working on Football Night 557 00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: in America and we would travel to the site, It's 558 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: just there's something about it. It's it's the first day 559 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 1: of school, like it's just by the way. Did you 560 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,120 Speaker 1: see where Brady was saying, Hey, this is like the 561 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: college friends meeting the high school friends. So the Buccaneers 562 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: are his college friends and they're meeting his high school friends. 563 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: And that always that doesn't always go well because I 564 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 1: always had a separation between my high school friends and 565 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: my college friends, and I never wanted the two to 566 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: cross paths there. But do we have the Tom Brady 567 00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: senior comments here Seaton Um, so he calls a Boston 568 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: radio station and he's he's I guess he's got the 569 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: hotline number, Tom Senior, first time, long time. Yeah, And 570 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 1: so he's he's kind of talking trash here. Yeah, Paul, 571 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: But imagine you're the call screener. I've had some experience 572 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: with this uh hub in Boston. What's your name? My 573 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 1: name is Tom Brady uh Senior. Uh. Yeah, here's Tom's dad. 574 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: I saw that the schedule come out last night, and 575 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 1: I started salivating when I saw that we played the 576 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: Patriots in the fourth game of the season, and that 577 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: we're coming up here to make our record four and 578 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: oh after the fourth game. So they're pretty pretty fun. 579 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 1: I guess he can say we definitely he could say, yeah, 580 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him approval. Do you have another clip 581 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: from Tom Senior. I'm glad it's early in the season 582 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: and the weather will be good and there won't be 583 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: any moaning and complaining about whether or anything, either negatively 584 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: or positively in the Boston area or after it was 585 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: in Florida. But it's gonna be great. I think I 586 00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: think we're gonna have a great time, and I think 587 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are kind of lifting their chops to get 588 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: up here and Pat reached down. I'm not sure. Whatever, Yeah, Paul. 589 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 1: If I were those hosts, I got about a dozen 590 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,239 Speaker 1: other questions I would ask Pops, like, Hey, Pops, can 591 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,959 Speaker 1: you walk us through the Jimmy Garoppolo trading? Hey Pops, 592 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: can you take us through uh, you know, the flake 593 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: gate and what you know about it? I would have 594 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,960 Speaker 1: a grill, Pop. I don't know that if they would, 595 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if they would do that with Senior. 596 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: I don't think. Yeah, Hey, before you go, I got 597 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 1: one other question, you know, deflate it? What did what 598 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: did your son tell you about deflate? Can you tell 599 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,760 Speaker 1: us anything about this? Where's the deflator? Tom? Yes? M 600 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: I think you've had that opening game the Cowboys? Will 601 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: that be the highest rated regular season game in like 602 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: recent history because I'll have a full crowd for the 603 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,600 Speaker 1: first time ever, you know, the first high it's they're 604 00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 1: gonna make that. It's the Cowboys in Tampa. I'm sorry, Yeah, Tampa. Yeah. 605 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:31,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what the record is, but this has 606 00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 1: got to be it, right, I don't know, but I 607 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: know this, you know. Chaughnessy wrote that this is the 608 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: most important regular season or biggest regular season game in 609 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: Patriots history. And I don't know, maybe it is. I 610 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: it's not like I have a Rolodex where I go. No, 611 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: I remember, you know and October of twenty fourteen. Yeah, 612 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: Stanley Morgan had two touchdowns. Yes, I covered the Patriots 613 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: when they would come to the Giants or the Jets 614 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 1: and that Stanley Morgan team. John Hannah like, I go 615 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:10,240 Speaker 1: back with the Patriots. Who is a quarterback? Uh Grogan 616 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 1: or Tony Easton. I came in to New York. Well, 617 00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: I went to that draft when you know, the famous 618 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,400 Speaker 1: quarterback draft, and I think that was one of my 619 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: first assignments at CNN. I think it was the Marriott 620 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: Marquis and Uh, I remember that you were up on 621 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,680 Speaker 1: a balcony area looking down on the entire draft and 622 00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,320 Speaker 1: that's when you had all those quarterbacks drafted, you know, 623 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:43,840 Speaker 1: Ken O'Brien, Elway, Marino, Kelly, yeah, Mclub. Yeah. There was 624 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: some U there were some mistakes in that one, letting 625 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:48,439 Speaker 1: Damn Marino go to the bottom of the first round. Yeah, 626 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:53,520 Speaker 1: but there were there were rumors about Marino, you know, 627 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,959 Speaker 1: if he failed a test, Like there was a lot 628 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,959 Speaker 1: that was sort of there. But back then you just didn't. 629 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: You didn't have NFL insiders of sorts. He had like 630 00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: Will McDonough of the Boston Clube, like that was an insider. 631 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: But you know, Elway was considered a future Hall of Famer. 632 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,680 Speaker 1: You know, Trevor Lawrence can aspire to be John Elway. 633 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: But Jim Kelly, we weren't quite sure how good he 634 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,120 Speaker 1: was coming out of Miami. Penn State wanted to make 635 00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: him a linebacker, and then he goes I think Howard 636 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,600 Speaker 1: Schnellenberger was his coach at Miami, and you know Jim, 637 00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,520 Speaker 1: but they thought maybe he was going to the USFL. Yeah, mclub. 638 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 1: So Kelly went fourteen to the Bills and then fifteen 639 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: with Easton and then Marino was twenty six. Imagine the 640 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: Patriots must consider Marino. I mean, well, I forget who 641 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: it was. Oh the Dolphins. The Dolphins passed. Oh no, 642 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: the Steelers passed on him. Yes, that was the big one, 643 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,919 Speaker 1: because yeah, Danny was you know from he's a local guy. 644 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: They took someone named Gabriel Rivera. Gabriel Rivera senior sack 645 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 1: was his name. I think he's out of Texas Tech. 646 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 1: Senior sack. Yes, your sack, A defensive tackle Yeah, it's 647 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: a good nickname. But man, you gotta get some sacks, 648 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 1: you know. That's then you're like senior Snack.

Jeff and Detroit joining us. Good morning, Jeff, 689 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: what up? No one time for chat row Not a 690 00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:42,240 Speaker 1: quick question for me, gloveman. Do you know the ratio 691 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,000 Speaker 1: the circumference of a circle towards diameter? Yes? I do. 692 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,800 Speaker 1: That would be oh okay, what would that be? My friend? 693 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:56,640 Speaker 1: Is that pie? Oh? Because I tell you, I got 694 00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: the whole chat roll all my line, baby, I got 695 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,680 Speaker 1: so many Lion fans man. They want to see smack 696 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,800 Speaker 1: with a pie so hard. All right, So the bet 697 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: is that mclovin says the Lions will not make the playoffs, 698 00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 1: but not exactly going out of a limb there, mclovin right, right, 699 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,320 Speaker 1: But but mclovin will drive to Detroit if the Lions 700 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,759 Speaker 1: make the playoffs and Jeff gets to hit him with 701 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 1: him pie. Oh my goodness, I was trying and listen. 702 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: The funny part is you have fans all over the 703 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: country figuring out what to send me to hit him with, 704 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, no, no, no, We'll just do 705 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,759 Speaker 1: something real simple, you know what I mean. It's the 706 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 1: love of just smacking mclovin with the pie. Also, and 707 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: this is real funny that you guys were talking about 708 00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: Isaiah Thomas, Kevin Garnett, and Michael Jordan. And the reason 709 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,279 Speaker 1: why Kevin Garnett is being presented by Isaiah Thomas is 710 00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: because he's the one that initially got him into the league. 711 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 1: From my understand that Kevin was at a gym and 712 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,959 Speaker 1: Jordan was playing and he through the window or something, 713 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: and he was telling the story about it, and that 714 00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: they called him into the gym. He played, and Isaiah 715 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: Thomas sat down with him afterwards for about two hours 716 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,680 Speaker 1: and explained to him, you can go straight to the league. 717 00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: This is what you do, this, that and the other. 718 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,200 Speaker 1: And Kevin Garnett has never looked back. So he owes 719 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: everything to his NBA career simply to Isaiah Thomas. Thank you, Jeff. Also, 720 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: there's a backstory on the relationship between Isaiah and Kevin Garnett. 721 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,839 Speaker 1: Isaiah brought Kevin Garnett or helped get him to come 722 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,160 Speaker 1: up to Chicago to play basketball his senior year in 723 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: high school, playing for a friend of Isaiah because Kevin 724 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: is from South Carolina, brought him up to Chicago. He 725 00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,279 Speaker 1: played one year of high school ball there and then 726 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: went straight into the league. Yeah Polish. I was in 727 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 1: college around then, and that was called Farragut Academy in Chicago, 728 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: and they were like rock stars. They had a guy 729 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,560 Speaker 1: named Ronnie Fields who was actually a better player in 730 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,880 Speaker 1: high school to Kevin Garnett, who was six two and 731 00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: could jump out of the gym. Could You couldn't get 732 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,360 Speaker 1: tickets to their games. There was high school games. You 733 00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,920 Speaker 1: couldn't get tickets. You couldn't get in. Yeah club, I 734 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: want to I want to basically head right here and 735 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 1: say there better be no Shenanigans about the Lions because 736 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 1: the last three opponents listen this at Atlanta, at Seattle 737 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 1: and Green Bay at home. That's Matt Ryan, Russell Wilson 738 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,399 Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers, three friends of the show. Would they 739 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: throw games to the Lions and make sure I got 740 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,600 Speaker 1: a pie in the face, you know, russ Wood could 741 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: be load management with those quarterbacks, you know the final Yeah, 742 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: They're like, well I could sit out and mcloven could 743 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: get hit. Yes, yeah, see right, Like the worst thing 744 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,520 Speaker 1: that could happen for Andrew right now? Is those teams 745 00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:37,760 Speaker 1: wrapping up an early playoff spot and then it's Tankathan. Yeah, 746 00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: and you're betting against friend of the show Jared Goff. 747 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:45,040 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I know. I love Jared Goff. I do 748 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: like Jared Goff. He was so tough. He played injured 749 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,919 Speaker 1: last year. I thought he's I just don't think there's 750 00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,600 Speaker 1: any talent around him. I still love that story that 751 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,400 Speaker 1: Shaughnessy was saying that when Brady had his hand cut 752 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,920 Speaker 1: and they were going into the playoffs and then here's Belichick. No, 753 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm like he had opens nurgery. Wow, they must have 754 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,799 Speaker 1: had sneaky barbs that they just you know, they were 755 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 1: firing at each other because that I don't know, Like 756 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,560 Speaker 1: there are times when you're surprised Belichick doesn't say something, 757 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: and then you're surprised when he does say something, And 758 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 1: sort of the same way with Brady. I'm waiting for 759 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,920 Speaker 1: the Definitive Brady book when that comes out. Whenever that is, 760 00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,759 Speaker 1: whenever he stops playing.
