But a wild night last night 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:58.400 as the Knicks come back beat the Celtics and Boston 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.680 misses forty five three pointers forty five out of sixty, 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.480 the Nuggets beat the Thunder and Joker goes for forty 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.680 two and twenty two. I mean go back to the Knicks, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.640 because I thought they were in trouble down twenty and 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:17.440 Boston didn't change its philosophy. They weren't hitting shots, but 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.000 they were still leading. And then you kept wondering, do 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.359 they go inside, do you maybe take a two at 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.480 one point? Do you try to go to the free 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:30.320 throw line? Just something that will break up the rhythm 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.560 of missing all these three pointers. Well that didn't happen. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:37.040 But the Knicks come back from twenty down, and that 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.800 rally is the biggest postseason comeback in franchise history. But 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.560 Boston had to help sixty three pointers, that's the most 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.280 ever an NBA playoff game, and missing forty five of 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.960 the sixty that's obviously the most in an NBA playoff 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.040 game as well. But I was curious about the second half. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.560 Thirty seven of the forty nine shots Boston took in 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:03.240 the second half and three pointers. They went ten for 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:08.040 thirty seven on those shots. And at some point I 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.880 have to go against the analytics. Now I know Boston. Look, 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.720 they had uncontested shots, they were missing threes. They're not 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:20.040 going to miss these shots throughout this series. But at 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.560 some point I want to see some kind of alteration. 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.320 I want an adjustment there. How about you go for 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.200 a two. How about you instruct your players to maybe 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:35.840 run something inside and not just perimeter jumpers here, they 0:03:35.880 --> 0:03:38.800 are really good three point shooting team. But when you're 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.280 not that then there has to be a point where 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.400 you go, Okay, maybe we should stop shooting threes. It's 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:47.680 not our night. But they never got to that point. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.160 Now you're going to have game two. Do I think 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.360 Boston's philosophy is going to be the same. Absolutely, But 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.200 can the Knicks play better? I think, you know, if 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.640 Boston hits two more threes, they win this game. I 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.200 don't think the Knicks played a perfect game. I think 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.480 they hung in there. Brunson had a chance to win 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:12.520 it with a layup in regulation. Og and Nanobi. I mean, 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.400 they had the guys. These are the guys that they 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.920 brought in Bridges. They brought them in to beat Boston. 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.279 This happens a lot of times in pro sports, where 0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:23.400 you go, Okay, we got to beat that team. How 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.440 do we beat that team? We got to get players, 0:04:25.839 --> 0:04:29.599 and that was their sole focus. We got to beat them. 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.640 How do we match up with them? And last night 0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:35.600 the Knicks did a really good job of staying in 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.760 and having composure. Here. Because you're down twenty on the road, 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.080 you're probably going, all right, we'll chalk this up, it's 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.719 a loss. We'll come back. I mean, even Denver. I 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.000 thought a quick turnaround, it could either be really close 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:54.600 or really ugly, and I was leaning towards OKC. They 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.120 were a nine and a half point favorite. They were 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.680 going to blow out the Nuggets. But then that young 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:05.640 team sitting there resting waiting. Meanwhile, Denver a quick turnaround 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:09.800 and they surprise okay See and Joker. I know this 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:12.400 is going to be a referendum on well see, who 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:16.600 should be the MVP. Shay Giljos Alexander is going to 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.760 be the MVP, and he should be because of what 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.000 he did during the regular season. But there's a pattern 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.680 that has developed between these two teams. So the Nuggets 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.960 come back from fourteen down, the thunder a blown double 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:47.880 digit leads three times against Denver this season. Stat of 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.560 the Day brought to you by Panini America. So they 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.400 lost those three games to Denver and they blew double 0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.320 digit leads to them. Denver's a good team, smart team, 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.400 and you have guys who who can make plays. Now, 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.479 I didn't think Aaron Gordon was going to be the 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:07.279 guy at the buzzer with a three pointer, but Chad 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.480 Holmgren missed a couple of free throws. He was late 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:13.960 trying to close out Aaron Gordon. Gordon is actually percentage 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.800 wise a good three point shooter, but you had Joker 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.600 who kept him in the game, putting up monster numbers there. 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:22.360 And you know, keep in mind the Pacers already beat 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.599 the Cavaliers. What are the odds that Golden State could 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.479 complete the opening round sweep for road teams as they're 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.960 a seven point underdog against the Timberwolves. All right, Seaton, 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:36.240 what's the pole question today? Got a couple options here 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.680 for you. Well, we could start with will the Nicks 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:40.040 win another game in this series? 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:40.240 Yes? 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:40.480 Or no? 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:42.800 Gentlemen, sleep my sweep? 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:44.800 Okay? 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:49.960 Paulie said, dover, which team will advance? Nick Nuggets are neither? Okay, 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:53.599 that's kind of fun, Nick Nuggets neither. 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.479 Todd sent this to me. Who had a better night, 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:01.200 Jalen Brunson or Aaron Gordon? I would say Aaron Gordon 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:04.760 hit the game winning shot. I mean, the Knicks had 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:10.400 a great night. Aaron Gordon's had a really good month, Yes, Todd, 0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:11.160 But I. 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.400 Find it fascinating how you, you know, how you would 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.320 decide what would be the you know, you know, a 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:16.680 moment obviously wins the game. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.240 So you think that's the obvious one. 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:20.520 But then in a huge game and a huge series 0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.760 on the road, to see what Jalen Brunson did, and 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:24.720 he kept popping three up to three and brings him 0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.080 back from twenty points, and at least an argument can 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.120 be made that through the course of the game for 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.560 each of those two games that you can would say Jalen. 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.600 Brunton, I would say Aaron Gordon hit the game winning shot. 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.160 That's what makes an interesting all right, thank. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:40.200 You, is it felt like Jalen Brunton had just won 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:45.600 the game and thenn lost it almost immediately right after. Yes, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.240 it felt like that was man that needed to go 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.120 in because there's no way that the Knicks are going 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.560 to be able to keep the Celtics back. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.840 He's so good at creating space because he's not a 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:58.720 big guy, but he takes on contact. He just is 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.920 really good at knowing what he does well. And I 0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.760 think that there's a lot of guys who have talent, 0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:08.200 they just don't know what they really do well and 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:12.640 they try to do too much. I think Anthony Edwards 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.400 sometimes colors outside the lines a little bit there, like 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.280 he tries to do too much and because he's got 0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.560 all of that god given ability. But Brunson, I think 0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.080 he's just so good at knowing I do this really 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.040 really well, and I'm not trying to do other things here. 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.640 But what other pole questions are we looking at? First hour? 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:34.560 Yeah, I think we go which team will advance. We 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.400 could also look to the West as well, or maybe 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:38.920 we could split it up East and West if you 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:40.880 want to do that. I think we'll focus on the 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:41.760 NBA playoffs. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.600 Right by the way, here is Jalen Brunson on his 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:47.320 team down twenty. 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:49.120 The toy sailler. 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.360 Just keep leiaving and just keep firing and sticking together 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.120 and keep tripping away. Was it going to be a 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:57.760 twenty point shot where you can just come back? We 0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.880 got to keep chipping away possession by possession and then 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.600 just finally I keep getting sup So make a place 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:04.920 offensive one as. 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.920 Well, okay, and also hoping the Celtics continue to miss 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:13.199 three pointers I have. According to DraftKings the updated NBA 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:17.840 title odds, the Thunder is still the favorites, then the Celtics, 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:22.360 followed by the Calves, and then a distant fourth the Timberwolves, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:25.240 and then even further down the list, the Nuggets and 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:30.320 Warriors are tied at plus eighteen hundred thunder r plus 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:34.800 one seventy five Celtics plus two ten Calves plus five 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:42.600 hundred Timberwolves plus eleven hundred. Okay, so phone calls are welcome. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.559 We'll get to those. Email address Dpatdanpatrick dot com, Twitter 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.080 handle at DP show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock, 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:51.280 our streaming partner, thanks for downloading the app and our 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.600 radio affiliates around the country. Yes, Pauline, I want to. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.400 Go back to what you said about the Celtics. They're 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.319 missing all those threes, and should Joe Missoula say right 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:02.360 time out, let's take it the whole reset a little bit. 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:06.720 I wonder if analytics overrules him, because I would think 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.360 the analytics would say, let's keep shooting because we're due 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.680 to make based off our history. They lead the league 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:16.520 this season in three point attempts forty eight per game. 0:10:16.600 --> 0:10:20.199 By far, they led a league in three point makes 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:24.080 I wonder if analytics told them, don't stop, keep shooting. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:25.839 It will work itself out. 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.439 But at what point do you say it's not our night, 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:31.920 Like there has to be a point of no return. 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.920 But I wonder if coaches are taught now to not 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.920 fight analytics, not go with their gut, because analytics is a. 0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:41.600 Removal of gut. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.640 And I wonder if Joe Molzula says, Nope, don't do it, 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:46.400 stick with it, stick with it, stick with it. 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:49.120 Well, I believe that you have to go with your 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.040 gut sometimes, like if you go by just the numbers. 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:56.520 I mean, I see baseball. You know managers they outmanage themselves, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.800 they out think themselves, instead of going with this app 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.839 how's he throwing and he's throwing great, No, he's throwing 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.840 sixty one pitches. He's got to come out. Man, he's 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.840 throwing pretty well skipped. I know he's going to come out. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:11.199 I just want to break up the rhythm. I got 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.880 to get points. And if it's a free throw, two 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.200 free throws, maybe it's just a mid range jumper. I 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.920 just have to get something to break this skid that 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:24.080 we're on. That would be my approach if I'm playing 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.480 or if I'm coaching, Let's just get something. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:30.400 Yes, but don't you kind of see that, like all right, yeah, 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.320 he's pitching, and he's had sixty pitches, and you have 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.240 this data in front of you that says, as soon 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:37.520 as he hits sixty one pitches, he usually falls off 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:38.000 a cliff. 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:41.760 I would don't you look at that and be like 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.760 pull him out. I watch Aaron Boone mismanaged games all 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.520 the time because it feels like he is just married 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:52.720 to analytics. I now pronounce you manager and wife, and 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:56.120 I have a problem with that. But look, I'm old school. 0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.280 I do accept analytics. I think that we're behold olden 0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.920 to analytics, and we're like, we hold on because you 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.480 can go to a press conference and you can say, well, 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.959 the numbers were on our side. 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:08.160 There. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.319 The numbers show that we you know, I should pull 0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.240 this pitcher or we should keep shooting threes. I understand 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:17.600 that it's a great excuse. I just I think there 0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.839 has to be a feel that you have with your 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.360 team sometimes. Ben. Maybe that's just the old school in me, 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:27.840 but I understand what you're saying. Yes, it says after 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.040 sixty one pitches, then all of a sudden, the batting 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.520 average goes up to three eighty seven, seven times out 0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:32.880 of ten. 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:35.719 It works out this way, and you have to have 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.880 a tremendous amount of belief in your gut and your 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:43.000 intuition to say, yeah, but this is probably the eighth 0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:44.240 time or whatever. 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:44.520 You know. 0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.640 But if I say to my catcher that's all I 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:52.040 care about. How's how's he throwing? Now, he might say, uh, 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:54.520 you know what, time to take him out? Or you 0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:57.760 know what, they're not even coming close. Now I can 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.960 say to my pitcher, leave in for one I'm gonna 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:02.600 let you get out of this jam. I'm gonna leave 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.880 you in for one more better. That's just feel and 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:07.680 trusting your players. That's the only thing that I would 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.079 argue or push back on that. Joe Mizzoula knows we 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:13.880 do this really well. Okay, at what point are we 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:18.120 not doing this well? We've had open looks too. That's 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.960 the crazy part. They're not going to shoot this poorly 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.719 the rest of the series. But then I expect the 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.080 Knicks to be a little better as well. Yeah, Paulie, it. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.959 Seems like the NFL is still gut over analytics. We 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.600 talk about fourth and ones and stuff, and you hear 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:37.080 coaches from the Bills, well, fourth and one, you should 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.800 do this, and they don't. It feels like NFL coaches 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:42.640 do a little more gut than analytics and tight situation. 0:13:42.760 --> 0:13:45.240 I don't know, I think the younger coaching staffs, yes, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:49.000 are going with analytics. You know that, hey, this is 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.360 what you're supposed to do in this situation. And then 0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:56.360 you're like, really, you know Harball talks about this or Lafleur. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.720 You know, these younger coaches are like, yeah, we can 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:00.880 go for yes, Marvin. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:01.360 Yeah. 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.679 Going back to last night's game, if I'm a Celtics fan, 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.600 I'm pulling my hair out because Jason Tatum had a 0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:08.079 one on one a couple times with Brunson or Og 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.440 and he could have gone straight to the rim and 0:14:10.520 --> 0:14:13.120 he backed up maybe another five feet to take a 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.240 step back three pointer. I would have been pulling my 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.080 hair out. Now, normally he makes it, but like you said, 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:19.520 last night was not their night. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.640 I don't want to make it easier for you to 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:23.680 guard me if you know I'm not going to the 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.920 hoop and I'm going to be on the perimeter. Now 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.200 he has a height advantage, but still I know you're 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.120 going to stay on the perimeter. It's such a huge 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.560 advantage though, I think for the defense that you're you're 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.800 not going to go inside, and that was what was surprising. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:42.400 I just need to break up the rhythm here, yeah, pauling, I. 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.880 Wonder what an analytics coach would have said. Jalen Brown 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:48.080 missed his first nine threes over nine, then he hit 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.800 one when he was over nine. Would analytics tell you 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.280 to tell him to stop shooting threes and taking the hole? 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.920 Don't? Yeah, I would say go in there and get 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:56.600 a get found. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.600 Now that's got Yeah, analytics have said Jaylen Brown, shold 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.040 keep shoo because based off his history, he's due to hit. 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:08.520 Paul. I've never lost a playoff game in my lifetime. Okay, 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.200 I've never coached one, but I've never lost one. I defeated, yes, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.640 so I know what I'm talking about now. Anytime that 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:22.040 I struggled shooting, I would always think, just get free throws, 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.440 like just stop whatever is happening. And I think the 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.680 ability to be able to slow it down and don't 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.960 let the Knicks get momentum or get that feeling of man, 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.480 we're in this because you took away that feeling when 0:15:36.480 --> 0:15:39.960 they were down twenty. You took away their hope, and 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:41.720 then all of a sudden you'll allowed it to come 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:44.360 back by missing all these shots, and then all of 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:47.280 a sudden, the Nicks are going uh, we can win 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.160 this game like the Nuggets. I'm watching and I go, okay, 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.760 they can't stop Joker, all right, they're doing okay here, okay, 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.920 all right, they're fouling. Okay, I don't know about that flying. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:03.560 I can't gordon ballgame and sort of how it happened. 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.600 All right, let me take a break. We'll settle on 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.280 pull question. We got phone calls coming up. The great 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.440 Doc Emrick will join us, always entertaining Gilbert Arenas a 0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.040 little bit later on as well.

And the fact that 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:56.200 we've been friends for the last twenty years and still 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:56.760 work together. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:58.320 I mean that says something, right. 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:00.800 So check us out. We like to get you involved, 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:04.040 to take your phone calls, chop it up. As they say, 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.960 I'd say, the most interactive show on Fox Sports Radio, 0:17:07.080 --> 0:17:09.159 maybe the most interactive show on planetar. Be sure to 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.480 check out Cavino and Rich live on Fox Sports Radio 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.160 and the iHeartRadio app from five to seven pm Eastern 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.240 two to four Pacific, And if you miss any of 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.639 the live show, just search Covin on Rich wherever you 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:21.119 get your podcasts, and of course on social media that's 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:22.399 Covino and Rich. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.439 I was surprised, but I was not shocked that the 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:30.760 Ravens released Justin Tucker, the most accurate kicker in the 0:17:30.800 --> 0:17:34.480 history of the NFL, and he had been there thirteen 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:40.199 years and of course sixteen. Massage therapists say Tucker's actions 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:45.080 inappropriate sexual behavior in nature happened between twenty twelve and 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:49.199 twenty sixteen, and I wondered if he was an all pro, 0:17:49.600 --> 0:17:52.760 if he was still Justin Tucker, would he still be 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.520 on the team, and I would argue that he probably 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:58.919 would be until we find out exactly what happened in 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.080 these cases here. But he's a seven time All Pro. 0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.880 But he struggled. He made seventy three percent of his 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:10.760 field goal percentages and he missed two extra points. The 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:15.320 Ravens drafted a kid out of Arizona, Tyler Loop, I think, 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.520 in the sixth round, and his numbers are okay, and 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:25.119 he's not Sebastian Janikowski first round talent, but you're going 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.560 to bring him in. Justin Tucker was set to make 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:32.360 seven million dollars and he became expendable. And here's another thing. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:35.080 I think people were going, Oh, they're going to say 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:38.400 this is football only. Well, they have to say that 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.280 they can't release him because of you know what's gone 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:44.720 on the inappropriate beg. I mean, he's got to have 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.359 at least the opportunity to defend himself, I would think. 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:52.399 But they can use football reasons. You know, there's no 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:55.800 litigation with hey, we're releasing you you didn't perform well, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:19:00.560 which he didn't. He left himself open to, you know, 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:03.479 having them bring somebody in. He struggled during the season 0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.480 at times. I think they talked about bringing in kickers. 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:11.400 They were trying to give him confidence. But he has 0:19:11.480 --> 0:19:14.320 been released, and I don't know if you're a team, 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.439 can you pick him up right now with all of this? 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.560 Like what is the upside? You might be getting somebody 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:25.720 who can return to his Hall of Fame form. What 0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.720 happens in five years, six years when he's eligible for 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:32.359 the Hall of Fame? How do the voters sort this out? 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.800 Not supposed to factor in stuff off the field, but 0:19:38.560 --> 0:19:42.000 you do. I think that's the human nature part of this. 0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:49.040 But sixteen massage therapists, and I believe these are civil 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:54.800 lawsuits with him, but they said it was a football decision, 0:19:55.000 --> 0:19:58.840 incredibly difficult. The team thanked him for years of service. 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:02.960 He is currently under league investigation after the allegations of 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.880 sexual misconduct. Here's another question I have, and I don't 0:20:06.920 --> 0:20:09.480 have any answers. I'm not trying to litigate this as 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:16.639 much as just asking a question. This inappropriate behavior allegedly 0:20:16.640 --> 0:20:21.280 occurred between twenty twelve and twenty sixteen. Why did it stop? 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:27.000 Did it stop? Nobody else has come forward, So from 0:20:27.040 --> 0:20:32.199 twenty twelve to twenty sixteen, sixteen different massage therapists, you know, 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:40.480 report incidents. What happened after that nine years later? Nothing else, 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.359 But I wonder if there's any correlation between him struggling 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:49.320 and then these lawsuits coming to light, because it certainly 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:53.240 felt like there was some kind of synchronicity here. But 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:57.159 he's one of the great kickers of all time, but 0:20:57.280 --> 0:21:04.440 he made himself vulnerable by not performing thirteen years. Probably 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.119 h Hall of Famer, and he was famous too, like 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:10.720 it's it's kind of difficult for kickers to be famous. 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.320 Adam Vinteri's winning Super Bowls. Janikowski was just a big 0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:19.240 personality there. But getting in, you know, Morten Anderson, what 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.920 the all time leading scorer. But you know, once again, 0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.560 trying to get into the Hall of Fame as a kicker, 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:29.080 it's tough to do because you got get somebody's attention. 0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:33.120 And the kickers have gotten so good that you almost 0:21:33.160 --> 0:21:36.240 are shocked when somebody misses an extra point or misses 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:40.679 from fifty yards down. It's weird. I'm more surprised when 0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:42.840 they missed from fifty than I am when they miss 0:21:42.880 --> 0:21:45.720 an extra point. It's just they've gotten to the point 0:21:45.760 --> 0:21:50.080 where automatic and this guy was mister automatic and now 0:21:50.320 --> 0:21:51.720
