Say 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: good morning to our radio partners around the country, around 10 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 1: the world, and also our streaming partner Peacock Full NBA 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: opening slates last night. No word on Ben Simmons Deshaun 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: Watson in play now, we'll discuss that coming up in 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 1: a little bit tonight. Braves Dodgers Game five, also Bucks 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: and the Heat, Clippers and the Warriors. Speaking of the Dodgers, 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: the starters had just two hits last night, and leave 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: it to Eddie Rosserio hit two home runs six at 17 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: of pitchers combined to limit the Dodgers to a total 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,759 Speaker 1: of four hits. Braves beat the Dodgers nine two, up 19 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: three games to one in the National League Championship Series. Now, 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: normally what happens when you have a dramatic win like 21 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: the Dodgers had previously, where they come back down five two, 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger with a three run homer, Mookie Bets the 23 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: game winning RBI, and everybody thinks, Okay, now's when momentum happens. 24 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: And there's a baseball adage of baseball saying momentum is 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: the next day's pitcher. Momentum is only good as good 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: as the next day's pitcher. Jim Leland used this back 27 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: in the mid eighties a lot. I'm not sure who 28 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 1: gets credit for it. It might be Earl Weaver, former 29 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: Oriol manager, but we keep thinking, oh, you got that momentum. Well, 30 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: when you run into a good pitching staff or good pitcher, 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 1: that's your momentum stopper right there. You know, the lineups 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: change everything. You know the time you're playing, who you're facing, righty, lefty. 33 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: You keep thinking that, oh my gosh, we're blowing somebody out. 34 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: Now we're going to start hitting again. And that wasn't 35 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 1: the case again last night. Two hits for the Dodgers starters, 36 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: and now your season is on the line. Game five 37 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: braves at the Dodgers. The Astros rolled the Red Sox 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: nine one and they're now up three games to two. 39 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 1: You know, I don't want Braves fans to take this personally, 40 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 1: even though you have, because I keep hearing reading seeing 41 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: where you're saying, why are you rooting for the Dodgers 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: and the Astros. I don't have a rooting interest other 43 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: than what is the story that I can tell nationally 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: on this show. That's it Astros. I can tell that story. 45 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: People are interested in that story. The Braves are a 46 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: good story. They picked up some players of the Trade 47 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: Deadline who have been great, but it's not a national story. 48 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: The Red Sox, they're not a national story. Good story, 49 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: but not a national story. I just don't want you 50 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: to take it personally. You know. It's not like I 51 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: like the Astros, but I like the Astros in the 52 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: World series because it's a great story to tell given 53 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: what has happened. If they face the Dodgers, it's a 54 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: great story to tell. And I stopped rooting. And I've 55 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: said this before on the show, but for those who 56 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: are new, I'll reiterate. Once I started doing this at ESPN, 57 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: when I started doing this full time, I put my 58 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: allegiance to the side. I grew up a Reds fan, 59 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns fan, later a Cincinnati Bengals fan. I don't 60 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: root for those teams now do I root for a 61 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: good storyline Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow. Absolutely, Joey Vado 62 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: with the Reds. Yeah, it's a good story, but I 63 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: don't root for them the way I once did when 64 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: I was just a fan. Give me the best story, 65 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: even if it means something bad happens to the Bengals 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: or the Cincinnati Reds. So if it's the Dodgers in 67 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: the Astros, I think it's good for baseball, but don't 68 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: take it personally. If you're a Red Sox fan. By 69 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: the way, for you Red Sox fans who keep booing Correa, 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: Altuve and Bregman, you do know your manager was part 71 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: of the cheating scandal. Just I just want to let 72 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: you know details. Yeah, I know they're like booing Altuve 73 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: and Bregman Correa and then oh, that's right. Our manager 74 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: was on the Astros in twenty seventeen. So just letting 75 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of silly you're gonna boo those guys. Meanwhile, 76 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: you're manager, Hey, he's our manager. This program is brought 77 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: to you by Panini America dot net.

And Olan Creutz, 91 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: the former Bears offensive lineman, had this to say. When 92 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 1: you see Aaron Rodgers run into the end zone and 93 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 1: he apparently was flipped off and he tells the crowd, 94 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: I still own you. I still own you. I've owned 95 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: you my whole banking life.

At the podium, 103 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: I saw some lady flicked me off, and I blacked out. Look, look, look, 104 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: just just say you That's how we all know. This 105 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: is the kind of guy you are. You're competitive and 106 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: that's the way you feel, and you have won a 107 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: lot of games here at Soldier Field. You know, just 108 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 1: because you're right, it doesn't make you right for doing it. Okay, Like, 109 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 1: there's so many more important things than what Aaron Rodgers 110 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: did not in Chicago this week. Oh it's so sad, 111 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: sad he does own you. Oh he did is reiterate that. 112 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: Do you realize this happens all the time. It's just 113 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: the cameras were rolling on him, and Aaron Rodgers said, hey, 114 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: I said, this woman flipped me off. And then you 115 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: had people say nobody flipped you off, And then people 116 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: had pictures of people flipping off Aaron Rodgers. It wasn't 117 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: just one person, it was a couple of people, like 118 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: eight or nine people, but all and Creutz, who once 119 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: punched one of his teammates. I believe in the face. 120 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: He didn't yell at the Packers crowd that week. Well 121 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: apparently his teammate maybe didn't say, you know, I own you. 122 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: But wow, there are just so many other things so 123 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: that are so much more important than this. Yeah, I'd 124 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: punch him in the face. Okay, I mean I would 125 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: believe him. You know, he did sound serious, and he 126 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: has punched a teammate in the face, so I you know, 127 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: but man, I saw that, I was like, really, did 128 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: you see where Tom Brady congratulated Aaron Rodgers. I'm becoming 129 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: a part time owner of the Chicago Bears. I thought 130 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: that was great too. Hey, I want to congratulate Aaron. 131 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 1: You know he's he's a part time owner of the 132 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks and the Chicago Bears. I love that. Yeah, Paul, 133 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: I was watching that clip of Brady and he's got 134 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: like notes, he had like jokes ready to go. I 135 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: think he's got Jeff Ross or someone writing for him 136 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: because he's like, you know, I look at Brady and 137 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: they kind of looks peaked out of his notes. I 138 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: think he's got a joke writer. He's got some good material. Yes, mclovin. 139 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: Does it feel like Aaron Rodgers seems awfully happy in 140 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: Green Bay this year? No? Well, I did see this, 141 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: Whether it's true or not, would the packers consider trading 142 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: Jordan Love? You want to say something to Aaron Rodgers? 143 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: Do you want to have a nice Olive branch, a 144 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: nice Hallmark greeting card? You trade Jordan Love? Now you 145 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: better know that Aaron Rodgers is gonna stay's knowing Rodgers 146 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: would be like, hey, I didn't tell you to trade him, 147 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: but not that they're going to. And I don't know 148 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,559 Speaker 1: what the market is for him, but I saw where 149 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: would they trade him? Deshaun Watson. I've been saying all 150 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: along that Miami wants him, Philadelphia wants him, and also 151 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: Carolina wants him. Now, those coaches and gms and owners 152 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: have to give you the obligatory No, we're happy with 153 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: who we have. No, they're not. If they can get 154 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: de Shaun Watson. There's a lot of things in play here. 155 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: I know that the owner wants Deshaun Watson in Miami. 156 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 1: The question is what do you give up? Is it 157 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: conditional with Deshaun Watson? Once he gets traded, does he 158 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 1: get suspended? Which doesn't seem fair? Why not suspend him 159 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: now he's not playing, but he goes to Miami. Do 160 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 1: you suspend him for eight games or however long you're 161 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: going to suspend him for? And if you're a Miami 162 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 1: can you ask the commissioner is he gonna how long 163 00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: will he be suspended? If we trade for him? Is 164 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: he suspended right away? Because he's not going to give 165 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: his deposition in these civil lawsuits until February at the earliest. 166 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: Do you make the trade? What do you give up? 167 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: What do the Texans want in return? The other part 168 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: of this is they don't want to a tongue of Ioloa. 169 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 1: Now there's talk of a three team trade, maybe Washington. 170 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: The Washington football team to his brother plays at the 171 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: University of Maryland starting quarterback there. I don't know if 172 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: that would factor in or matter to him. He wants 173 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: to go where he's going to play. The Lions is 174 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: also a possibility from what I was told, because the 175 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: previous regime did like Tuah in Detroit, but I don't know. 176 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: Texans don't want him, And the question is, you know, 177 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: I think they like what they have in Davis Mills, 178 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback out of Stanford at least right now. But 179 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: there's no franchise turning quarterback in this year's draft. In 180 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: my opinion, there's not one of those oh my gosh, 181 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: let's tank for this. But the Dolphins, if you're going 182 00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: to make that trade, what do you give up? And 183 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: is it conditional on how much he plays? Because he 184 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: might not be suspended until twenty twenty two and that 185 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: might be best case scenario. You don't know about the 186 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: legalities of everything that's going on here, and can you 187 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: can you say to de Shaun Watson, will trade for you? 188 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: Settle these lawsuits? Like, I don't know what's in play here, 189 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: but but there's a lot of questions I have. If 190 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: I'm Miami, what am I trading for? What happens when 191 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: we get him? What are the draft picks I have 192 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: to give up? Because the Texans were still holding out. 193 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: They wanted draft picks and they wanted starters. I don't 194 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: know if you're gonna lessen your trade demands, but This 195 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: has been percolating in February. Second is the trade deadline. 196 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: Mike Florio has been all over this Floorio join us. 197 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: Coming up a little bit later on Yeah, Paul. I 198 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: was wondering if the owner of the Dolphins could contact 199 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 1: the league office Roger Goodell, off the record and get 200 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: information like where are we, what's this status, what's likely 201 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: to happen there? Would that be a competitive advantage if 202 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: one owner knew and the rest didn't. I don't think 203 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: you could do it if I'm the commissioner at the books. 204 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: Off the record. Nothing is off the books and off 205 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: the record. It may feel like it when somebody says, hey, 206 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: off the record. Every time I've had somebody quote, not 207 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 1: quote me off the record, they've quoted me off the record, 208 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: you know, but doing it in a kind of a 209 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: clandestine way. Hey, off the record. No, it's not off 210 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,680 Speaker 1: the record, because once I tell you, then you're gonna 211 00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: tell somebody else. That's how it works. Then that person 212 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: can use your quote. I can't off the record. I 213 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: don't think you can go to the commissioner off the 214 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: record here because the commissioner can't be giving a competitive 215 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: Because if Philadelphia wants him and Carolina wants him. Then 216 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: I know Deshaun Watson doesn't want to go to Philadelphia. 217 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: I think he would go to Carolina. But I can't 218 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: give the Dolphins a competitive advantage. Although the commissioner serves 219 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: these owners, I think he would have to hear it 220 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: from somebody who told somebody who then would leak it 221 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: to the Dolphins. Yeah. Are we sure the NFL knows 222 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,719 Speaker 1: what it's doing with Deshaun Watson. No, I don't think 223 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: they have the slightest. What's it gonna tell them? I 224 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: don't think they know. No. Well, the commissioner could say that, 225 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, we're going to suspend him once he starts 226 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: to play again, or once this is cleared up, whatever 227 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 1: happens with these civil lawsuits. Then maybe he sits down 228 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: for eight games. But I don't know when that's going 229 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: to be. It could be next season to start the season, 230 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: he's down for eight games. The Dolphins have the forty 231 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: nine ers pick, by the way, that's when they moved up. 232 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: They wanted to take Trey Lance and they got their pick, 233 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 1: but they did give up their first round pick to 234 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: the Eagles, so they could move up from twelve to 235 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: six to take Jalen Waddle. Yes, how are the Eagles 236 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: not in play for this? They're desperate for a star quarterback. 237 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: He doesn't want to go there. Does he have that 238 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 1: much a no trade clause? Yes? Imagine giving a twenty 239 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: four year old quarterback a no trade clause. What are 240 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: you thinking, Well, you're the Texans. Yeah. Doesn't a team 241 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,319 Speaker 1: need to be win now? The Eagles are basically they're 242 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to start from scratch. All their veterans are 243 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: a hundred years old. Yeah, I don't know that Deshaun 244 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,719 Speaker 1: Watson's a great fit there. They need to draft he 245 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: didn't want to go there. Yeah, it doesn't matter if 246 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: he's a great fit or not. He doesn't want to 247 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: go to Philadelphia Carolina. He would go to Carolina from 248 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: what I'm told, But Miami is the destination and Miami 249 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: is now desperate. I mean, that is a franchise with 250 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: no identity, and they haven't had an identity for a 251 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: long time. I mean, we still are living off Dan 252 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: Marino fumes. They throw in Chad Pennington if you want to, 253 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: but like there's nothing going on there. They need something. Yeah, 254 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: pull for a star quarterback. Deshaun Watson's contract is kind 255 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: of friendly. He's under contract completely for the next four 256 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: years from whatever team gets him, and the average salary 257 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: per year is about thirty three million, you know which, 258 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: and they did not have to pay his signing bonus, 259 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: so the team that acquires him only has to pay 260 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: that salary, not any part of that early signing one. 261 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: We'll get some phone calls. We'll set along a poll 262 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: question today, stat of the day, play of the day, 263 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: all of that forthcoming.

We were asking about Ben Simmons status for 297 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Friday night's game. They won last night, they beat a 298 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: Pelican's team without Zion Williamson is still out following foot surgery. 299 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: And then they have a day off today, and then 300 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,479 Speaker 1: they have their home opener against the Nets coming up 301 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 1: on Friday night. The question is is Ben Simmons going 302 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: to be in the building, will he be in uniform? 303 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: And if so, is he going to play? How will 304 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: the fans react to him? But they will have an 305 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: answer coming up at five thirty Eastern today. The Sixers 306 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: still working through the logistics whatever that means. Yes, Paul, 307 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: if you're Sixers management and Doc Rivers, don't you make 308 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: him eligible to play tomorrow night? Start him like normal 309 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: to keep the illusion that he may stay a Sixer 310 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: for the trade process or no. I don't think anybody's 311 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: buying the illusion like this isn't David Blaine or David Copperfield. 312 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: There is no illusion here. But if he doesn't show 313 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 1: up to play now you can suspend him and you 314 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: don't have to pay him. But I don't think there's 315 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: any illusion that he wants to play or they want 316 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: him to play yeah, mclonal and they probably couldn't start him. 317 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 1: He hasn't really been practicing, so to just throw him 318 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: in there like normal even if I don't know, Yeah, 319 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean we had all those workout videos in the offseason. 320 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: I mean, as I'll tell you, I don't even think 321 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: he should be in the starting lineup anyway. Ye. Well, 322 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: it finally played Tyrese Maxie last night. He destroyed those 323 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: pesky Pelicans. Okay, they're playing the Pelicans. I know. I 324 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: liked the box score of like Brandon Ingram and no 325 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: one I've ever heard of exactly. And you know the 326 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 1: Zion Williamson thing. You know that offseason surgery. I think 327 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: that caught a lot of us off guard. We're like, wait, 328 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 1: he had surgery on his foot. Well, you got a 329 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: factor in a lot of things here, Like it's one 330 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: thing if it's a knee or some other body part 331 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: that you're having surgery on a foot at that size, 332 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: and there are reports that he's up to a round 333 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: three hundred pounds. Well, his style to play, and that's 334 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: something that stays with you can stay with you your 335 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 1: entire career when you have foot issues. Bill Walton famously 336 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: had foot issues and it ruined his career. You know, 337 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: he played through it might have been misdiagnosed at some point, 338 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: but a knee can be fixed. A foot is a 339 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: little bit different. It's a little trickier there, and at 340 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: that size, with that playing style, I think people are 341 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: downplaying this a little bit too much, at least in 342 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: my opinion. I'm keeping a close eye on Zion Williamson 343 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: and how they don't even know when he's going to 344 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: play again, which is a little bit concerning. Granted it's 345 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: five month season here. You don't want to bring him 346 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: back early. You might be playing for a play in game, 347 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: maybe the final playoff spot. But I watched a lot 348 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 1: of basketball last night. My guy LaMelo Ball looked awesome again. 349 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: Jalen Brown looked incredible. Celtics Knicks. That was a fun game. 350 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: Zach Levine had a great night last night. Dame Lillard 351 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: had the ball in his hands and a chance to 352 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: tie the score against Sacramento by Sacramento Kings last night. 353 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: But you know, I watched a lot of basketball. Age 354 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,199 Speaker 1: seven seven three d P Show email address DP at 355 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle at DP show. Let's 356 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,679 Speaker 1: run through the poll questions McLevin. This isn't even a 357 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: poll question, but do you think LaMelo Ball can break 358 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: out as a star If he's playing in Charlotte, it's 359 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: like a national star. I think so because he came 360 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 1: in as a star, and I think we've seen that 361 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: the market doesn't hold you back. Dame Lillard is in 362 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: Portland and he's a star. Lebron when he was in Cleveland, 363 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: he was a star. I think it used to be 364 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 1: at least the mindset was you got to go to 365 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: the big markets, like you got to go to New York, 366 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: you got to go to La Aaron Rodgers famous in 367 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: Green Bay. But I think LaMelo Ball is that good. 368 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't know how good the team is going to be, 369 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: because you want to get to star status. You get 370 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. That's when you get star status. You 371 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: can be Yeah. I mean the Joker was wonderful during 372 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,919 Speaker 1: the regular season, won the MVP. But if you're not 373 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: going to be in the playoffs and playing in big games. 374 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, Jannie is him Milwaukee Now he's a star. Yeah. Well, 375 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,120 Speaker 1: the NBA tried to turn Zion into the entire thing, 376 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 1: and he's in New Orleans. Remember they had twenty primetime 377 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 1: games to start him. Yeah, yeah, that's true. But does 378 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: Lamello's style play. You've watched so much more of them, 379 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: is that gonna catch on? It seems like he's really exciting. 380 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,640 Speaker 1: Oh he is. No, he's a highlight. He is. He's 381 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: a highlight. And and when he is on the floor. 382 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,400 Speaker 1: This is why I wanted Golden State to take him 383 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: instead of James Wiseman. It's like, no that he can play. 384 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,479 Speaker 1: We get caught up and you don't like his dad. 385 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: Maybe you kind of compare him to Lonzo. You know, 386 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: Lonzo was I'm not going to say a bus but 387 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 1: he was slow in developing an all around game. But 388 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, I do like him, and he has improved 389 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: and now he's with the Bulls. But you know, LaMelo 390 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: Ball can playing. You know, he's taller than you think, 391 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 1: he's more athletic than you can think. He's a little 392 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 1: bit better shooter. He was knocking down threes last night. 393 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: But I think we got caught up in you don't 394 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: like his dad. Therefore somehow you know that's a smear 395 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: campaign against his kids. I mean, he's got two kids 396 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: in the NBA and the other one I think the 397 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 1: Angelo is in the G League right now, and he 398 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: can shoot, but I don't know if he can if 399 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 1: he's a I watched him in the summer league. I mean, 400 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: he had some moments in the summer League. But LaMelo 401 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: Ball is a legit star. I really think that. But 402 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: so is John Moran. John Moran is in Memphis. John 403 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: Moran had a great night last night as well. I mean, 404 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: he's John Morant. Is he attacks man, he's aggressive, fun 405 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: to watch, yeah, mclovin, Yeah, it's interesting. Anthony Edwards is 406 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: emerging a little bit in Minnesota. To the rookie'd number 407 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 1: one pick last year or any of these rookies interest you. 408 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 1: I know, Kate cutting him didn't play. Is there anyone 409 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: you're watching? Not yet? Yeah, I think that we're you know, 410 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: you keep waiting, like Jalen Green, Kate cunning him. Jalen 411 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: Green is gonna it feels like he's averaging twenty points. 412 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: He gets buckets there, Kate Cunningham, you know, very athletic 413 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: at Oklahoma State. But let me see, you know, Edwards 414 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: has a couple of dunks, but you know he's on 415 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: a team where he's still in the shadow of you know, 416 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: Kat D'Angelo Russell. But I do think that he has 417 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: he's fun to watch. I just don't know if he's 418 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: got a style that people are gonna go gotta watch 419 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: him LaMelo ball. You do want to watch he's that 420 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: much fun? Yeah, point, I was watching Nick Celtics at 421 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: MSG last night. Those fans they don't need much to 422 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: get fired up. They need like a decent team. They 423 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: don't need like a contender. They just want a team 424 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,120 Speaker 1: maybe like third in the East, competitive, make the game's fun. 425 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: They're they're so desperate for a quality team. You saw 426 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: last year the Knicks. I mean, they haven't been relevant 427 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,400 Speaker 1: in how many decades? They haven't won a title since 428 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy three. I mean, you got a couple of 429 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: generations that have gone through being Knicks fans waiting for 430 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: something magical to happen. They beat the Atlanta Hawks last 431 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: year in the playoffs, and you would have thought that 432 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: they won the NBA title. I went to the parade 433 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: after that. They went they went outside and they were celebrating. 434 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 1: It was like it was Coachella, Like you're going, God, dudes, 435 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: put your shirts on. Man, you beat the Hawks one game, 436 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: you don't even win the series. Man, you're just desperate. Yes, time, 437 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: So you shouldn't jump up and down on top of 438 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: cars in the middle of Manhattan. If there one first 439 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: round victor, you should beating the Atlanta Hawks. No, you 440 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: should go quietly back to your apartment and that's it 441 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,880 Speaker 1: and not make any noise. Wait until actually win a series. Yeah. See, 442 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: who knew Julius Randall was going to be the catalyst 443 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: to bring New York back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm mcclemen. 444 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,719 Speaker 1: They're a pretty hard team to figure out. How good 445 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: they are too. He's like guys like Julius Radel, Derrick 446 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: Rose and Kemba. Is that good? They're okay, good, They're okay, 447 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: They're okay. It was fun to watch last night. But 448 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: it's one game. It's one game. Yeample your guy, Obie 449 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 1: topping out of Dayton fourteen and five. Let's start of something, man, Well, 450 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: you should be good first round draft pick, pretty high 451 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: first round draft pick. Jesse in Atlanta, Good morning, Jess, 452 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,640 Speaker 1: what's on your mind? Good morning guys, and I love 453 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 1: the show. Uh, danns want to say, you're like our 454 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: Dean Sanders man. He came down in Atlanta in some 455 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: great stump. But Fortunately, your talents had to take you 456 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 1: elsewhere and now you're doing your own things, so we 457 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: appreciate your time here. Thank you, Jess. Yes, sir, so 458 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,239 Speaker 1: I had a quick statement and then a question for 459 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: both you and mclovin about how Ben Simmons. Okay, so 460 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 1: yesterday you had Michael Hayes on and I can have 461 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: disagree with him. I don't think Cleveland will want him 462 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: because you know, the owner. I mean, it's not it's 463 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: not a secret, doesn't get along with Lebron. He doesn't 464 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: like his agency, so why would he want to bring 465 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: someone in when he's with the same agency. On top 466 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: of that, they've done a good young core, a couple 467 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: of good guards and the piece in the power forward position. 468 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: They're solid them pretty much, so I don't think that 469 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 1: he would go there. My whole thing is this, since 470 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 1: he's in the same agency with Lebron, do you think 471 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,919 Speaker 1: that maybe most to be getting passed around where he 472 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 1: could take a league minimum. You know, he gets Dune 473 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: from Philly, comes to La Lebron says, hey, get a room, 474 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 1: will help you get your image back. Then you can 475 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: go anywhere you want to get. Here for a year, 476 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 1: we can get you some good minutes, some good play, 477 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: then you get a big max contract. And my question 478 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: is this, So Philly has had a lot of problems 479 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 1: in the front office. They've gone through a lot of 480 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: stars in the last six to eight years. Is this 481 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: an issue not only with Ben Simmons, but is there 482 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: issues inside that office because you got a new head 483 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: coach and you got a new g on their jazz 484 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: and Ben Simmons I could have stopped you at the 485 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: league minimum. You know, he's all about making money. I mean, 486 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: that's that's what he wanted, what he loved to play 487 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: for the Lakers. Sure, the Lakers don't need any more 488 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: drama and they already have enough guys who can't shoot 489 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: on that team. Why am I bringing in Ben Simmons? 490 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 1: We don't. Who are you giving up for Ben Simmons 491 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: because you know what Philadelphia is gonna say, Um, we'll 492 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: take Anthony Davis. They don't want Russell Westbrook. Yeah. McLevin, 493 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 1: that's a great point about the Calves. Own are not 494 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: liking Rich Paul, But I think those two star guards 495 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: are the Calves are both with Rich Paul too, Darius 496 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: Garland and Colin Sexon. No, the problem is Lebron's agency 497 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: has so many guys you can't not work with him. Yeah, 498 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: I think we've seen like that's not a reason not 499 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: take Ben Simmons because people who want to bring Lebron 500 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,520 Speaker 1: into this, but you can't. You can't have him come 501 00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: in and say, hey, take the league him. Well, Marcus 502 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: Hayes yesterday the Philadelphia Inquire column has said he it's 503 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 1: all about money with Ben. He wants to be a star. 504 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: He wants the money. You're not going to take the 505 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: league minimum. But I know we keep coming up with 506 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 1: these trade proposals. The only thing I ever saw that 507 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,879 Speaker 1: I thought was legitimate was CJ. McCollum of the Blazers 508 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: going to Philadelphia for Ben Simmons. Now, Philadelphia is gonna 509 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 1: want a little bit more, all right, sweeten the pot there, 510 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 1: and then you get Ben Simmons in there, maybe gets 511 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: away from you know, big city, big lights, big games, 512 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: and he's able to kind of resurrect his career. But 513 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: I did these other ones. Hey send him to Dallas 514 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:52,320 Speaker 1: for Kristaps porzingis. If I'm Philly, I don't want that Dallas. 515 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: I don't know. It's hard to find people to work 516 00:28:55,320 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 1: with ball dominant players like Luca James Harden, Russell Brook. 517 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: You know these guys, you know, you stand around, stand 518 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,719 Speaker 1: around a lot, yeah, palling. Yeah. Do you think Ben 519 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: simmons value is lower than it was like a month ago, 520 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 1: now significantly lower? Yeah, because you have a team who 521 00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 1: doesn't want him. It's it's like the Texans don't want 522 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,480 Speaker 1: to Shaun Watson and he's got legal issues. Okay, you're 523 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: not getting what you thought you were going to get 524 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: before all of this came out, Ben Simmons. No, we 525 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: want him back. No you don't. Well, this is what 526 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: we want for him. So you want that for the 527 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 1: guy that now you have basically tried to move on from, 528 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: and you're the one that you know downplays his abilities. 529 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 1: I mean, all of this stuff has been brought to light. 530 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: So if I'm trading for Ben Simmons, I'm not given 531 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: you want you want because I know Philadelphia needs to 532 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: get rid of him. Yeah. Polling, And if you're the 533 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: GM of a team that's looking at him, how do 534 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: you sell that to your fan base? Hey, I just 535 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: gave up three decent players or one of our best 536 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 1: players to get this guy who can't shoot, doesn't want 537 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: to play is difficult. How do you sell that as 538 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: a general manager? Well, that's where he has to one day. 539 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: Ben Simmons has to grow up and then say, I'm 540 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,959 Speaker 1: going to take matters into my own hands and be 541 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: a great player. I'll prove you wrong. If he needs 542 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder, you got it now, Now 543 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: go out and prove that you are a great player. 544 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 1: But I don't. I would say to Ben Simmons, and 545 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: I know I sound like a therapist here. Actually I'm 546 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: a parent. That's what I sound like, because I would 547 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,520 Speaker 1: be saying to my twenty five year old, Hey, at 548 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: some point there is adversity. You must overcome the adverse. 549 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: You must overcome the adversity, not everybody else. You're the problem, 550 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 1: not everybody else. And you would say to Ben Simmons, hey, 551 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: focus on what you do well. And if he goes 552 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: to any team, I would not let him play point. 553 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: I would let him be a power forward and just 554 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: say to him, let's work on our shooting, but we 555 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 1: don't have to work on it in the game. Let's 556 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: just get in the flow of things. Do what you 557 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: do best, rebound pass, and maybe it gets comfortable at 558 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,520 Speaker 1: the free throw line. Therefore he's not in these situations 559 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: where he's out on the perimeter and these defenses are 560 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: just going to go go ahead, Ben. I would say 561 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: that if I was guarding him, I would encourage him 562 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 1: to shoot. Go Ben, Ben, go ahead to shoot. That 563 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: would be my defense on Ben simp Ben, take a shot, 564 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 1: come back down, Hey you're open again. I play with 565 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,440 Speaker 1: his head, and this is what's going to happen. I mean, 566 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,040 Speaker 1: what is said during games to each other. I mean, 567 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 1: come on, they're not going to go Hey Ben, we're 568 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 1: rooting for you. Hey, nice shot there. Hope that helps 569 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: your confidence and be like, dude, you're afraid to shoot. 570 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: Oh you're at the Oh you're going to the line nervous. 571 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: This is what these guys say, and I would be 572 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:05,440 Speaker 1: doing that to be But now these trade proposals, I 573 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: haven't heard of anything that have substance. So these insiders, 574 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: woj Shams, I would have heard anything. It's because everybody's 575 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: you know, shied away from what Darryl Moore in the 576 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 1: Sixers wont and then it was a Kyrie for Ben 577 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: Well that was just convenient. Do you think there was 578 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 1: anything real to that? I never saw, like an actual 579 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: report that it was on the verge of happening. If 580 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: I'm the Nets, I'll take Ben Simmons absolutely on that 581 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:40,320 Speaker 1: team with two ball dominant or great scores, and I 582 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: don't have to have Ben beyond the perimeter. Absolutely. I 583 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: do that in a second, and I get rid of 584 00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: the Kyrie headache. Yes, but if you're DOC Rivers, do 585 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: you want to trade headaches? And I think Ben would 586 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 1: go in there, and you know he would listen to 587 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,080 Speaker 1: these star players, he'd listen to Durant and Harden. He 588 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 1: doesn't want to listen. He looks at Joe lmbad is 589 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 1: a contemporary like, hey, we're both we're both great, and 590 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: you go where you would look up to somebody, you 591 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: would listen to somebody and maybe that would help his game. Yeah. See, 592 00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: but it feels like even though they're you're trading headache 593 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,479 Speaker 1: for headache, you're still upgrading for DOC Rivers getting Kyrie 594 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,520 Speaker 1: because you can have the headache that can't score or 595 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: the headache that well, I mean, Ben Simmons can score, 596 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: he's not a great shooter, or you could have Kyrie, 597 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 1: who is at least going to get you a ton 598 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 1: of buckets if he plays. Yeah, like that's a big if. 599 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: And who's to say that Kyrie doesn't check out again. 600 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: Now he can practice, now he can play. He's in Philadelphia, 601 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, different city mandates there. Okay, it doesn't mean 602 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: he's going to be in for the long haul. Yeah, mclub. 603 00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: Nothing ever goes wrong in Philadelphia with the fans and stuff. 604 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:57,080 Speaker 1: That's of course, of course. All right, take a break. 605 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: We got Thursday night football, and I'm going to defend 606 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield just a little bit. He's not playing tonight, 607 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: but I'm going to defend him. I know we keep 608 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,440 Speaker 1: waiting for Baker Mayfield to emerge and be worthy of 609 00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:16,279 Speaker 1: forty million dollars a year. But I'll talk about that. 610 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,520 Speaker 1: And Jared Goff has a chip on his shoulder talking 611 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 1: about the Rams returning there.

The starters 655 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: had just two hits bucks Heat tonight and the Warriors. 656 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: You could argue toughness is one of, if not the 657 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: most important trait for a football player, and we know 658 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is tough, but sitting him for tonight's game 659 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: with his injured shoulder against the Broncos is a smart move, 660 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: and the expectations are really high in Cleveland. The Browns 661 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: won a playoff game last year and they hope to 662 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: go even further case. Keenum is a capable experience backup, 663 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: but if you look at where this franchise wants to 664 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 1: go expects to go, you're going to need Baker Mayfield 665 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,240 Speaker 1: to lead them there. Not that they need Baker Mayfield 666 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: to be the next Dan Marino, but you got a 667 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: running game with Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt even though 668 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,879 Speaker 1: they're not healthy. You got a really good offensive line, 669 00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: you got some impact players on defense. And I don't 670 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,919 Speaker 1: know if this time off will help Baker Mayfield because 671 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: it's his left shoulder, but for the Browns team that 672 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,360 Speaker 1: has a legit postseason aspiration, you got to do whatever 673 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 1: you can do to make Baker Mayfield healthy or healthier. 674 00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,239 Speaker 1: But in fairness to Baker Mayfield, he's played for how 675 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: many head coaches at least three, how many offensive coordinators 676 00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: at least three. It's really tough to ask somebody to 677 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 1: show stability when the organization has had no stability whatsoever. 678 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 1: But you have Kevin Stefanski in there. You do, I think, 679 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:25,120 Speaker 1: have an offensive blueprint for success with your team. Run 680 00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,920 Speaker 1: the football, play action. Baker Mayfield in a different generation 681 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,839 Speaker 1: would be a game manager. Quarterbacks don't like to be 682 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,000 Speaker 1: referred to as game managers now, but back when you 683 00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: had Bardstar, Brian Greasy, a lot of quarterbacks were game managers. 684 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 1: You could even say Joe Montana was, Troy Aikman was 685 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,520 Speaker 1: a game manager. These guys weren't throwing for thirty five touchdowns. 686 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:55,160 Speaker 1: This is Baker Mayfield has to almost embrace that, and 687 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 1: this is what this team is. This is who we are. 688 00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,319 Speaker 1: You don't want to call are outside the lines here. 689 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:03,920 Speaker 1: You want to do what you do well. And if 690 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: you now have stability, or at least you think you do, 691 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: tap into that. I'm not trying to make something more 692 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: out of Baker Mayfield than he is, but there's nothing 693 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,160 Speaker 1: wrong with being a Troy Aikman type quarterback. Take what 694 00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,720 Speaker 1: you can when you can, be reliable, be available, don't 695 00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:24,000 Speaker 1: do stupid things like trying to make a tackle on 696 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,319 Speaker 1: an interception. Run the football, rely on your defense, don't 697 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: make mistakes. Score in the red zone touchdowns, not field goals, 698 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 1: like those are the goals that Baker Mayfield and the 699 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: Browns should have. There's a lot of guys who have 700 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 1: a lot of numbers, but they don't. I mean, what 701 00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,919 Speaker 1: do they have to show for it? Philip Rivers has 702 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot of passes, passing yards, touchdowns, Matt Stafford, they 703 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: have nothing to show for it. Baker Mayfield should look 704 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 1: at this as I'm a field general. I remember Alex 705 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 1: Smith would be so upset at me because I called 706 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,880 Speaker 1: him a game manager, and I meant it as a compliment, 707 00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:05,840 Speaker 1: because there are game managers in the Hall of Fame. 708 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: Not everybody's Patrick Mahomes. There are a lot of quarterbacks 709 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,319 Speaker 1: who want to be or think they are, and they're not. 710 00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: But that means understanding your coaching staff what they want, 711 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: what is the game plan, what are our strengths, what 712 00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 1: are our weaknesses? What's my strength? What's my weakness? And 713 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield be a game manager, yeah, mcclub by the way, 714 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,120 Speaker 1: if you need them. I have a whole list of excuses. 715 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 1: If Case Keenham doesn't my guy, Case Keenham doesn't play 716 00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 1: well tonight. This is a by the way, say problem. 717 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: Everybody's out, the whole team's out. Is Teddy Bridgewater playing? 718 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: I believe so Todd is Teddy Bridgewater playing. He's expected 719 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,719 Speaker 1: to play. That's what he heard as far as last night. 720 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: But there's always that Drew Lockhole. That's what you're going 721 00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: to worry. That's what I'm hearing. I'm doing by Jimmy 722 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: Jimmerson junior to third. I'm hearing that Bridgewater should be 723 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 1: able to play tonight. By the way we're people suggest 724 00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Jimmerson is also a baseball insider analyst. Well, 725 00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,000 Speaker 1: our Jimmy Jimmerson is able to do it. He covers 726 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,440 Speaker 1: all sports. You know. For instance, if I say to 727 00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,480 Speaker 1: Jimmy Jimmerson, hey, what do you make of what's happened 728 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers here in the postseason? One thing I'll 729 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,360 Speaker 1: tell you here is that Dodgers crucial to them advancing. 730 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 1: They're gonna need to score more runs than than than 731 00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 1: whatever team they're facing moving forward. They need to start 732 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: putting some runs on the board. Okay, And do they 733 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,280 Speaker 1: have to do it on on both sides like offense 734 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,440 Speaker 1: and defense? Well, I mean the importance of starting pitching here. 735 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:44,879 Speaker 1: It can't be understated. I think an analyst did say that. 736 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 1: What Paulie it was a rod it was the other 737 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: night did this? He goes, you know, if the Astros 738 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:52,960 Speaker 1: gonna get back in there, they got to play better 739 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: on defense and offensively. Yeah, which is hard argument. If 740 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: you play better on defense and offensively, you gotta play 741 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: better than the previous game. You're gonna have to outscore them, 742 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 1: is what you're gonna have to do, no doubt about it. Yeah. 743 00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 1: I have a question for Jimmy. Is this a must 744 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:14,640 Speaker 1: win game for the Dodgers? Feels must win? Yeah? Must winish? Yeah? Yeah, 745 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,359 Speaker 1: down three one, game five at home. I'm gonna guess 746 00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,320 Speaker 1: it's a most win situation there. All right, what's the 747 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: poll question we're gonna go with? Okay, I have one 748 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: for you. Sorry, I'll try deliver this for the straight 749 00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 1: face when you hear Brown's broncos, don't do it, don't 750 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,320 Speaker 1: do it. That's what I'm talking about. The drive, the fumble, 751 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: the color orange all over the place, or nothing. Nothing. 752 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say nothing. Yeah, that wins the poll too easily. 753 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,399 Speaker 1: And my second one would be the color orange. Yes, 754 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: that's a close second. Nobody cares about the fumble or 755 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:54,680 Speaker 1: the drive. Mike Floyer mentioned it a number of times 756 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,919 Speaker 1: this morning, at least once, and showed video of the drive. 757 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 1: And I would be shocked if on the broadcast tonight 758 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,720 Speaker 1: there is no reference to me because there's nothing else 759 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:09,080 Speaker 1: to sell with tonight's game case Keenum, Teddy Bridgewater. I 760 00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 1: mean really, but so if Baker Mayfield was starting, they 761 00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't refer to the drive or the fumble at all. 762 00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:16,640 Speaker 1: With the Brock was playing the Brock, It's not like 763 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,360 Speaker 1: they played him every other year. That's kind of a 764 00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: strange matchup Denver in Cleveland, that's once every five years. 765 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,440 Speaker 1: Maybe they played Jether. That's just my thought back to 766 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:30,720 Speaker 1: you this year. All right, thank you, Todd, God Jared 767 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: Goff has a chip on his shoulder. We'll hear from 768 00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 1: him coming up. Seaton, Paul Fritzie McClellan. He was truly 769 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 1: here on the Dan Patrick Show.
