Speaker 2: locks in bagel sliders with cream cheese and spicy bloody Mary's.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: Who has it better than we do?

8
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 3: No body.

9
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 2: By the way, we do not indulge, you know, we

10
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: do imbibe with the bloody Mary's until after the show.

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: Just letting you know. It may sound like we have been,

12
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 2: you know, dipping into the spicy bloody Mary's, but not

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 2: that's that's till after the show. Todd. I know you

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: like to sneak a little of us. Sit there, a

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: little nip there.

16
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: I came very close to grabbing a slider, all right.

17
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 3: I did not.

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah, you can't do that, and can't grab

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 2: the bloody mary either.

20
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 3: I forgot that. Cameras all over the place, that's the problem.

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 2: Yes, I can see everything, Todd, I can see everything.

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Eight seven seven three DP show email ADDRESSDPA, Dan Patrick

23
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: Twitter handle a DP show. Good morning. If you're watching

24
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 2: on peacock. Thank you for downloading the app and we

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,639
Speaker 2: say good morning to our radio affiliates around the country.

26
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio and Fox Sports Radio. Poll question from our one,

27
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: and what are we going to go with an hour

28
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: two Seaton? Yeah, we put two of them up there.

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: For our one.

30
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: We had Todds let's not overthink it pole question, and

31
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 4: we also have Pescal Siakam saying they played harder. It

32
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 4: was a throwaway line or embarrassing to admit. Right now,

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 4: about sixty seven percent of the audience have that as

34
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: a throwaway line. Nobody's taken that too serious. And then

35
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 4: a more iconic place to play basketball New York City

36
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 4: or the state of Indiana. The state of Indiana's got

37
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 4: about fifty five percent of that vote. Okay, the common

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: thought seems to be that New York is more famous,

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: Indiana is more like heart and soul kind of thing,

40
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: where it's like basketball is more like a religion, say

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 4: in Indiana. But there's really no better place, say the

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: more famous place to cut your chops to New York City,

43
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 4: if that makes sense.

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: All right, all right, I'll buy that. Yeah, I could

45
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: see that. Yeah. Well, if you're a Pacer fan, your

46
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: level of concern is what after last night because it.

47
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 2: You know, I think we thought, Okay, Indiana can go

48
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: and they can win there. They won there before, and

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 2: the Knicks haven't been a great home team in the playoffs.

50
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 5: So.

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: That kind of quickly diminished because Brunson and Karl Anthony

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: Towns were wonderful. Here is Nick's head coach, Tom Thibodeau

53
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: on his two stars.

54
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 5: I thought he was very aggressive, and I think that's

55
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 5: super important.

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: I think jailing as well.

57
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 5: I thought the first quarter, let's ht the tone for

58
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 5: the game. We got to make sure that we stay aggressive.

59
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 5: Then we have to stay disciplined. I think staying disciplined

60
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 5: and playing with toughness is huge.

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: And it felt like the Pacers were going to the

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: end finals after last game.

63
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: Right.

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: That's where it comes with your level of concern if

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 2: you're a Pacer fan, or your level of confidence if

66
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: you're a Nick fan, because you're probably thinking, hey, the

67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 2: way we played, if we can play that way in Indiana,

68
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: we come back in our building and we can still

69
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: win this, which of course they can. They're four point underdogs.

70
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: That'll be Saturday night in Indianapolis.

71
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, if the Pacers this is kind of almost

72
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 6: rhetorical but if the Pacers win in the next game,

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 6: clean win, the egg laid by Tyres Hliverton is completely

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 6: forgotten forever.

75
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 3: Correct?

76
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? Probably? What if it goes the other way?

77
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 6: What if all the month of goodwill that he's built,

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 6: he's built himself into a star where people are picking

79
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 6: him over Anthony Edwards now for the future of the

80
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 6: NBA and other players. But if he somehow doesn't pull

81
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 6: this off because it is him, how does it go?

82
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: I think that we'll look at him the way we

83
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: do Anthony Edwards. Of maybe he's not there yet. Jalen

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: Brunson is there, Like Jalen Brunson is that guy? And

85
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: you saw that last night he somehow, some way and

86
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: he not afraid and that was an impressive performance. And

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: these are tough shots, you know, because he's not a

88
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: big guy, and you got, you know, these long, long

89
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: armed guys who are you know, trying to disrupt that shot.

90
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: But he hit big, big, big shots. And so did

91
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: Karl Anthony Towns who has a bad knee but seemed

92
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: pretty mobile last night. But yeah, you can wipe away

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: a bad playoff game with a playoff clinching win that

94
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: that would be important for Tyreese Haliburton, and I know

95
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: we love to fast track players like who's the next,

96
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: you know, and we did that with Anthony Edwards. I

97
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: think he's really talented. I just don't think he's ready yet,

98
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: but he will be. He's only twenty three. And the

99
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: same thing with Tyrese Haliburton. Nobody knew him. I mean

100
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: he played this way before. It just now people are

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: seeing him and they're like, oh man, is he a superstar?

102
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 2: Is he a top ten player? He's the same player.

103
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 2: It's just more people are now watching. Therefore more people

104
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: have an opinion. Yes.

105
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 7: Mark.

106
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 8: In the NBA, we normally do the same thing. Is

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 8: a young, exciting player. Oh man, I love his game.

108
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 8: I love watching him. He has a fall short a

109
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 8: little bit in the playoffs. Man, when's he going to

110
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 8: start winning some championships? Time is taking. It always happens.

111
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 8: It's going to happen to more guys.

112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, And we saw that with Giannis, We saw that

113
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: with Joker. It's like, I he want MVPs, you better

114
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: start winning championships now. Tyrese Haliburton not going to be

115
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: an MVP, but you know, if he is up at

116
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 2: this level, then he might get into that, and it's

117
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: a great category to get in. We expect you to

118
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: win a championship. Anthony Edwards is probably in there too soon.

119
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: Luca got to an NBA finals, but he's still going

120
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: to be facing that. When are you going to be?

121
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: How can you be an all time great if you

122
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: don't win championships? We put that label on you a

123
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 2: lot sooner than we used to. All Right, pull, question

124
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,239
Speaker 2: for hour two is going to be what Seaton?

125
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got Let's see, we got three of them

126
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 4: working right now. Paul just sent one over to and

127
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 4: which team sport would it be the easiest to play

128
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: professionally at the age of forty or older? Basketball, Baseball, football, hockey, other.

129
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: The easiest, the easiest to be forty years of age?

130
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 6: Paul, Yeah, bas this off Corey Perry, the hockey player

131
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 6: still playing well at forty football other than quarterback, has

132
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 6: it been done other than quarterback in the NFL?

133
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: And kicker?

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 6: I'm removing that as a position player like Darryl Green

135
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 6: of the Washington Redskins, Jerry Rice, they were forty or approaching. Yeah,

136
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 6: but it seems in football it's only quarterback, right Baseball?

137
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 2: How common.

138
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 5: Me?

139
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: Maybe a pitcher, right, I mean pitching. As long as

140
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: your arm stays intact, you should be able to do that.

141
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 3: First first base a little bit. You could be kind

142
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: of a big guy sitting there at first base and

143
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 3: just you know, catch the ball that's thrount you by

144
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: the infield. Gotta been down once in a while for

145
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: a groundball.

146
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 8: Y'all go baseball, because you see a lot of those guys,

147
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 8: the Willie Mayses and Hank Aaron's stay unusual. Those guys

148
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 8: play for twenty seasons.

149
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Satchel Page was I think in his fifty when

150
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: he was pitching. Yeah, let's see basketball would be pretty

151
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: tough because that's a young man's game. Yeah, explosive baseball, Yeah, pitching,

152
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 2: I could see that. You know Phil Nekro, he was

153
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: in his forties, knuckleball pitcher. Let me see football now,

154
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: unless you're a kicker or a quarterback, I don't see it.

155
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: Yes to some kind of group play match play golf.

156
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 9: I know that's we're kind of thinking of individual sport,

157
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 9: but there is groups that play golf together.

158
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: No team sport, Yeah, but it's a team sport.

159
00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 9: But if you're in the Ryder Cup in your forty

160
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 9: four and you could still hit the ball whell Yeah.

161
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 2: But we were just talking about these sports, okay, because

162
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 2: we could do bowling if you wanted.

163
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: To sixty year old bowlers out there.

164
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: I know, stay on the topic. You had a great

165
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: first hour.

166
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 9: Just baseball, basketball, football, and hockey or other team sports.

167
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 2: Is there anything else you want?

168
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 9: Certain relay races if it's not that far, maybe a

169
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 9: fourty year old can get around the track.

170
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, okay, I think we got a

171
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: poll question today. I think for at least for this hour,

172
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 2: we'll check in with Corey Alexander, former player. He is

173
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: working for ESPN Radio. He'll join us coming up in

174
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 2: a little bit. Who had the best week in sports?

175
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: We'll have that for you as well. Ross Tucker from

176
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: Westwood One will stop by. We spent a little time

177
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: yesterday talking about who has the most pressure going into

178
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: this football season as we are now ninety eight days

179
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: away from the start of the NFL season.

180
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 6: Oh, it's one closer.

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 2: I know. I'm surprised the Mothership doesn't have a countdown

182
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: where they just put ninety eight up in the corner

183
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 2: and then ninety Why don't we do that? An actual clock. Yeah,

184
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: just now, I don't want to do our. I don't

185
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: want to do day, hour, any of that. Minutes and seconds. Yeah,

186
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: I think we should.

187
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 4: I think it should be like an actual running clock

188
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: that counts down thousands of hours.

189
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: Marvin, are you capable? Do you know people who could

190
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: do that for me?

191
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 10: Here?

192
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 3: Fair question.

194
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the backroom guys should be able to

195
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 2: do this where we put the count down to kickoff. Oh,

196
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 2: there you go, yes, Tod.

197
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: Once again, to show the power of the NFL over

198
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:47,959
Speaker 3: any other sport?

199
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 9: Is there any other sport you can possibly even remotely

200
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 9: consider having a countdown of one hundred days or less.

201
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 6: I'm going to answer that Noah, yes, bo you guys

202
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 6: find yourself And again this is a fritzy question when

203
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 6: football season ends, thinking yourself, what am I going to

204
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 6: do on weekends? What am I going to do on

205
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 6: Mondays and Thursday nights? Like it's hard to picture the

206
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 6: offseason when you're in football season. Like the amount of

207
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 6: free time football fans now have. I know there's other sports,

208
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 6: but it doesn't fill it the same way college football

209
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 6: on Saturday, it's like a fourteen hour session.

210
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: Well, I just need to get through the month of February,

211
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 2: Like once the Super Bowl is over, get through February

212
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 2: and then you get you know, kind of leaving winter,

213
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: and then there's baseball, basketball, you have you know, you

214
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: have some things going on. You know, you almost need

215
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: to exhale, You got to re energize. I think the

216
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: football season is a lot that just you know, wall

217
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: to wall once the season starts with games and then coverage.

218
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 2: You know, if you're in fantasy, if you're gambling, any

219
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: of those things. It's a lot, a lot of mental grind.

220
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: But somehow we do it every single year. We somehow

221
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: plow our way through it. Hashtag warrior. A couple of

222
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: phone calls in here Jay and Delaware. Hi Jay, what's

223
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 2: on your mind today?

224
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 11: Hey, good morning Dan. First off, congrats on the new

225
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 11: addition to the family.

226
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: Thank you.

227
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 11: First thing, First thing, Todd, like you said, had a

228
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 11: great first hour. Two blops in the first half hour.

229
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 11: I think Todd, you should just grab a slider and

230
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 11: go and head home. Don't want you to ruin it

231
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 11: for the rest of the day, Bud. And secondly, I

232
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 11: went to Piggyback off of the Tier Talk from yesterday.

233
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 11: Absolutely loved it. My top five Tier one pressure. I

234
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 11: feel like our Giants, especially Dable and Shane. Secondly Dolphins,

235
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 11: Mike McDaniel, that whole staff. They've got to get into

236
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 11: the playoffs. They've got to at least make it to

237
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 11: the divisional round. Third, the forty nine ers. I'm a

238
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 11: Niners fan, but with all the off season changes this year,

239
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 11: I think this fan base is gonna get a lot

240
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 11: louder than it already is. Where I sa Hannah leantri concern. Fourth,

241
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 11: I'm surprised nobody brought it up. Dak Prescott. I think

242
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,719
Speaker 11: Jerry Jones is going to get very impatient if they

243
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 11: don't make it past the divisional round, first round, second

244
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 11: round exits. I think I think Jerry's getting think Jerry's

245
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 11: gonna get fed up with it. And Fifth, I think

246
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 11: it's Trevor Lawrence with all the everything that you guys

247
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 11: said yesterday, Thanks guys, having met Friday, Thank you Jay.

248
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott has a contract, so I mean, what options

249
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 2: does Jerry have. He had an option to not offer

250
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 2: him that contract, but he did so. I is there pressure?

251
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: You got a new head coach in there, you haven't

252
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 2: paid Michael Parsons yet. How good are they going to be.

253
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: I think Vegas has the over under at seven and

254
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 2: a half. I mean, they could be another seven and

255
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: ten season there, But I don't they should have moved

256
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: on from DAK. I thought before they gave him this contract.

257
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: Yes, we're saying over under week six and a half

258
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 4: of a Joe Milton sighting.

259
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 2: In Dallas. Yeah.

260
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been lighting it up in Dallas. Of course

261
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: he's got a cannon. Heck, yeah, let's go down rooting

262
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 4: against Dak. But man, I would love to see Joe

263
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 4: Milton get a shot.

264
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 6: Yes, Paul, I'm gonna to differ with this caller about

265
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 6: the Tier one pressure on the New York Giants coaching staff.

266
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 6: They were shockingly brought back last year at three and fourteen.

267
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 6: They're clearly going to win, you know, three or four

268
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 6: more games this year. They kind of made their bed

269
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 6: the Giants that they're sticking with this coaching staff. Last

270
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 6: year would have been the year.

271
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: To move on.

272
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

273
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what they're doing. I think it's Tier

274
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 2: two pressure. Yeah, Okay, everybody's gonna Philly is gonna get

275
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: the headline. The Commanders get the headlines. Dallas always gets headlines.

276
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: You know, the Giants can kind of live you know,

277
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: off campus here a little bit where they might not

278
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: get as much you know, focus, there'll be local pressure

279
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: on them. But then you don't know what the Jets

280
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: are going to do. But as far as Dallas, I

281
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: don't mean I don't have great expectations. They feel like

282
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: they're middle of the pack here. But I don't know

283
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: if Jerry, I mean, what's he gonna do. You're going

284
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 2: to find your quarterback? Where are you going to find

285
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: your quarterback? And I don't know what. He's on the

286
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: hook with Dak for how many years? But that's a mess.

287
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: And we talked about you would have thought that it

288
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: was a good financial mess when you when you go, okay,

289
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: you got Dak, ced Lamb and Michael Parsons. These are

290
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: all great players. I mean, Michael Parsons could be the

291
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 2: best defensive player in the game. CD Lamb is what

292
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 2: top five wide receiver.

293
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 5: Now.

294
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 2: Dak is just a good quarterback at times he's been

295
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: really good, but he's what thirty two injury prone. Never

296
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 2: would have given him that kind of contract. I would have.

297
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: I would have franchised, you know, just do it one

298
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: more ye prove yourself. Let me see, but I never

299
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: would have given him that contract.

300
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, Paul Prescott's contract is set for the next three

301
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 6: years twenty twenty five season, twenty six and twenty seven.

302
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 6: They cannot The best they could get out of him

303
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 6: would be after the twenty twenty sixth season with a

304
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 6: major dead cap hit. He's their quarterback for the next

305
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 6: three years if healthy.

306
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I don't have I mean, we

307
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 2: could play with you and toy with you and say,

308
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: you know, let's talk about the cowboy I talk about

309
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: them when you know it's brought up to me or

310
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: there's something that has changed, but nothing's changed. Yeah, Dak

311
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: being healthy, okay, ceedee lamb.

312
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:35,800

00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,280

334
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 3: Okay, yes, Todd, Michael Bolton can't sleep on Michael Bolton.

335
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: That'll pump you up. Yeah, Michael Bolton going through some

336
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: health issues.

337
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: Hopefully he is on the on the men there rebounding,

338
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: we get Moby. Moby is from Connecticut. I'll take I'll

339
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 4: take mobs. Just push play, Yeah, is that what it is?

340
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 4: Push play or just I think it's just play, just play,

341
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: but I'm not.

342
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: Sure it might be push play.

343
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: I don't know.

344
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 6: Yes, Pauline, Connecticut may have the bands that are at

345
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 6: least conducive to pump up songs. Liz Fair, John Mayer,

346
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 6: The Carpenters, Michael Bolton, damn that's not getting you ready

347
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 6: for the seventh anic.

348
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 2: No, no, yes, Todd.

349
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 12: You may ask yourself if talking Heads is on that

350
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 12: list and they are from Connecticut, they are from Rhode Island.

351
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: I'm looking at Connecticut. I must be looking at the

352
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: nage Connecticut musicians. Talking Heads.

353
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 4: Okay, once again, no one associates them with Rhode Island

354
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 4: or Connecticut. It's one hundred percent of New York City.

355
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: You had a good first hour, Todd. Okay, gotta do

356
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: better with the research. Keep your head up. Okay, all right,

357
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 2: come on, all right, all right, let me take a break.

389
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: The Knicks are four point underdogs. Corey Alexander been doing

390
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: a great job calling the action on ESPN Radio he's

391
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 2: a college basketball analyst as well, played seven seasons in

392
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 2: the NBA, and he'll continue his coverage tomorrow night, Game six,

393
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: starting at seven thirty Eastern on the mother Ship. Corey,

394
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: the level of concern for Pacer fans Pacer players is

395
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: what in your opinion?

396
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 14: I believe it's probably about a five on a scale

397
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 14: of one to ten right now, Dan, And the reason

398
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 14: being is because you know, Tyres Halliburton was so lackadaisically

399
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 14: and the last night's game, and it's something that we've

400
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 14: seen from Tyre's.

401
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 10: Halliburton throughout his play all career.

402
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 14: The last two seasons, and you don't there's no reason.

403
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 14: There's really no rhythm to it. It's just some days

404
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 14: he's not the same player. Especially coming off of historic

405
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 14: performance thirty two, fifteen and twelve with zero turnovers. In

406
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 14: Game five, you would expect it to see him be

407
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 14: more aggressive on the road.

408
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 10: They didn't see that, But I do.

409
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 14: Believe he will see it tomorrow night in Game six,

410
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 14: which that's why the concern is only a five.

411
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if this is a big deal. It

412
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 2: felt like somebody was or some people are trying to

413
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: make it a big deal. Pascal Siakam postgame said they

414
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: played harder than the Pacers, like you can say they

415
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 2: executed better, but in a Game five with a chance

416
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 2: to go to the NBA Finals, a team played harder

417
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: than you.

418
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 10: But it was the case.

419
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 14: He told the truth, and oftentimes you know that that's

420
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 14: the thing we asked players to be honest.

421
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 10: He told the truth, and the mix did play harder.

422
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 10: The misplayed with a sense.

423
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 14: Of urgency and a sense of desperation, and the Pacers

424
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 14: played as though they knew they had another opportunity to

425
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 14: be able to close it out on their home floor

426
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 14: in the game six, and Pascal Siakam was spot on.

427
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 10: The Knicks did play harder. It may not be something.

428
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 14: That you want to hear from your teammate in the

429
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 14: locker room, but at the same time, everybody in the

430
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 14: locker room that was part of that game could look

431
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 14: at each other at high and say it's absolute truth.

432
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 10: The nixt day'll play harder than we did tonight.

433
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 2: Tougher to defend Haliburton or Brunson.

434
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 14: Tougher to defend Brunton. And the reason being is because bruntson,

435
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 14: regardless of the whether he's making shots, he's missing shots,

436
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 14: whatever may be. He is constantly going to stay aggressive.

437
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 14: He's going to continue to come at you every opportunity

438
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 14: he gets. And more importantly, Jleb Brunson, it doesn't matter

439
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 14: who's on the floor, he'd be playing with Michael Jordan.

440
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 14: And when it's all said and done, when Jaylen Brunton

441
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 14: steps on the basketball court, he thinks he's the best

442
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 14: player on the court, and.

443
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 10: He was last night.

444
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm fascinated by just his style. It's relentless. He

445
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: just keeps coming, you know, it's all it's always going

446
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: forward and I love that. I just don't know the rest.

447
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 2: You know. Karl Anthony Towns played pretty well. Seemed pretty

448
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 2: mobile for a guy that was you know, I guess

449
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 2: had a questionable knee going into that game last night.

450
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 10: Yeah, he was very mobile.

451
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 14: And when you consider Carl Anthony Towns and he really

452
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 14: gets his opportunities to start the second quarter, start the

453
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 14: fourth quarter when Jalen Brunt it's on the bench. But

454
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 14: with the new starting lineup that Timms has employed over

455
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 14: the last three games, Jalen doesn't have as much spacing,

456
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 14: which makes the three point field goal so much more

457
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 14: important for him. He got off to a hot start,

458
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 14: knocking down threes in that first quarter. Fourteen first quarter points.

459
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 14: I believe he had sixteen in the third quarter. I'm

460
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 14: not sure if he scored in the second or the fourth,

461
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 14: but when you think about the second the fourth along

462
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 14: the cat they have a great rotation in the way

463
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 14: that they're doing things offensively, and it worked in game five.

464
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 14: The problem is the Pacers know that. Will it be

465
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 14: able to work for the Knicks in Game six on

466
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 14: the road?

467
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: Why is it you think we in the media tried

468
00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: to fast track somebody to be face to the pace

469
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: of the sport or the next great players. Is he

470
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,880
Speaker 2: a superstar? A lot of these players we're talking about

471
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: are twenty three to twenty seven years of age. It's like,

472
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 2: we don't give you that grace period before. You know,

473
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 2: Michael Jordan had a grace period, and you know Bird

474
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: and Magic everybody kind of got a grace period. We

475
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: don't let these younger players now and like Cooper Flagg

476
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: coming in, how long is his grace period before we say,

477
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, can you win win a title here?

478
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: Why do we do it?

479
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 14: We do it because and Dan, you've been in this

480
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 14: industry much longer than I have believed it or not.

481
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 10: I was with you in the gym. I believe it's.

482
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 14: Concord Athletic Club back in San Antonio getting shots up

483
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 14: back in the day.

484
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 10: So you've been doing this for a long time.

485
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 14: And the difference is I can say that my company,

486
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 14: you know, or our company be it at Disney, is

487
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 14: going to pay two point eight billion dollars next year

488
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 14: for rights at the NBA, which means that it's not

489
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 14: about the games, it's about content. And so from seven

490
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 14: am to eleven pm, you have to talk about the game,

491
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 14: and therefore there have to be things to talk about.

492
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 14: That's the difference in today's game in comparison to when

493
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 14: I was playing in the NBA. And even before we're

494
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 14: talking about there has to be some type of conversation

495
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 14: to keep the viewers watching and keep them off of

496
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 14: social media and keep them watching TV. So when you

497
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 14: think about that, that's the reason why, and again it's constant,

498
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 14: and not only that, but these guys don't necessarily care.

499
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 10: About being the face of the NBA anymore.

500
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 14: The reason being is because when Michael Jordan was playing,

501
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 14: then you had to be the face of the NBA

502
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 14: to become a billionaire.

503
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 10: With these contracts.

504
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 14: Now you don't have to be Anthony Evers can be

505
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 14: a billionaire without being the face of the NBA after

506
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 14: just three contracts and of course everything that he gets

507
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 14: off the court.

508
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: Talking to Corey Alexander, ESPN Radio, an list and he'll

509
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: be calling game six on the Mothership. That'll be at

510
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 2: seven thirty eastern on Saturday. How was my jumper? By

511
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 2: the way, and Sen Antonio, I.

512
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 14: Am calling to vouch for you, my man. You actually

513
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 14: can shoot the basketball. I believed it was Bennye del

514
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 14: Dagro in there with you. I'm not sure you had

515
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 14: another one of your anchors, maybe Oberman. I know it

516
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 14: was a Steward Scott, but well, I think it was

517
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 14: maybe Overman with you, and it was Benny del Negro myself.

518
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 14: I'm not sure Dale Dimps I know was in there.

519
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 14: But you can shoot the basketball. Man. If anybody ever questions,

520
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 14: ite them to come see me. I've seen it with

521
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 14: my own two eyes. You were knocking down shots that day.

522
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: Thank you. I appreciate that. And you're a great journalist,

523
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 2: is what you are. I think I'm a better deep

524
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: shooter than Vinnie del Negro. Vinnie was a great fifteen

525
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: to eighteen feet, but he didn't come out to where

526
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 2: grown men shoot.

527
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 10: Vinnie was a master of the mid range. That was

528
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 10: his game. But I agree, and I used to talk

529
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 10: to him all the time in practice. I was like,

530
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 10: come on, o here in the deep water, get out

531
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 10: of kiddie poole.

532
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 14: He wanted, no problem with that, But in the kiddie pool,

533
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 14: he's one of the best to ever do it.

534
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 2: Best shooter you ever faced.

535
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 10: The best shooter I've ever faced. Pooh.

536
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 14: I'm gonna go as far as to say his name

537
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 14: is now mak Mood ab dul Rohu.

538
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 10: He was once Chris Jackson, but you're talking about one

539
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 10: of the best of the best. And again, the dude

540
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 10: was relentless. He had the best touch.

541
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 14: You know, he was so locked in on making every

542
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 14: possible shot and it was so quick, honestly. And again,

543
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 14: you know, Steph Curry's my nephew, will love him to death.

544
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 14: Del's like a big brother to be. Chris Jackson was

545
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 14: Steph Curry before Steph Curry.

546
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 10: The way the.

547
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 14: Game has changed has allowed for Steph Curry to be

548
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 14: able to do what he's doing.

549
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 10: If you couldn't handcheck Chris Jackson.

550
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 14: Make Muda ab Dul Rohu if you couldn't be physical

551
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 14: with him the way that the game is played now,

552
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 14: I'm not saying that he would have been Steph, but

553
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 14: he would have been very close to what we've seen

554
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 14: Steph do over the last ten years.

555
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 2: You want to talk about getting a shot off, like,

556
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, when when he would his handle was wonderful,

557
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 2: and when he was at LSU and he was average

558
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 2: thirty a game, you know we didn't You had Shaq

559
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: and Stanley Roberts, but the best player was you know,

560
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: six feet tall in Chris Jackson. But in today's game,

561
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 2: you imagine today's game with Chris, you know, just so

562
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: quick at getting that shot off.

563
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 14: So quick at getting a shot off, was so quick

564
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 14: in general because as you mentioned, to handle it. Then

565
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 14: he hit me with a between it last crossover one time,

566
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 14: but I watched it on the Jumbo Trot and I

567
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 14: went off the screen completely. You couldn't even find me

568
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 14: and he just absolutely lost me. But the thing is

569
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 14: in that era and we're going back to this is

570
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 14: ninety six, my rookie year. Playing against him, you had

571
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 14: to be able to defend, and that's the reason why

572
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 14: he didn't get as many minutes, He didn't get as

573
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 14: many opportunities because he struggled defensively in today's game where

574
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,200
Speaker 14: they often find ways to hide guys who lack of

575
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 14: a defensive end and you can keep them on the

576
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 14: floor for thirty five to forty minutes. If he had

577
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 14: that type of I mean, he had that type of time.

578
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 14: And as you talked about that grace period, I mean

579
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 14: again we talked, he still talking.

580
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 10: About one to all time breaks.

581
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 5: Yeah.

582
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 2: Mark Price is another player who had an unbelievably just

583
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: go up quick and you know he would average twenty ten.

584
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 2: You know there's a lot of those. Kevin Johnson was

585
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: another twenty ten guy there. Just felt like, you know,

586
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,360
Speaker 2: that's what you had to do back then, that's when

587
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: you had true point guards. But then Steph became a

588
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: points guard instead. You know, like he created his own

589
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: label there. Did you have your Welcome to the NBA moment?

590
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 14: I had a lot of them, And when you just

591
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 14: missed those names, Mark Price, Kevin Johnson, I started getting

592
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 14: flashbacks from all those guys having to deal with but

593
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 14: my welcome to the NBA moment. Believe that I came

594
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 14: in preseason my rookie year, and I was playing against

595
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 14: Tim Hardaway at Utah, so a preseason game at Utah,

596
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 14: and of course I watched so much all home court.

597
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 14: I watched so much Tim Hardaway growing up and playing.

598
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 14: And before game, you know, I'm a fan. I walked

599
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 14: up to him and I said, hey, don't hit me

600
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 14: with that, and he said, don't worry about the course,

601
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 14: you don't have to be concerned. But watch what I

602
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 14: do to Avery, and he pought that put out a

603
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 14: new move for Avery in that game. Of course, those

604
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 14: two guys had history for being with them workers together,

605
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 14: and after he.

606
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 10: Hit Avery with the move that pretty much fun Avery

607
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 10: in the circle.

608
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 14: He just looked over Breton and gave me a wink,

609
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 14: and I knew I might be in for trouble in

610
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 14: this league from that point on.

611
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: Does it matter who wins the East? When you look

612
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 2: at OKC and how good they've been regular season, postseason, I.

613
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 14: Do think it matters, And the reason being is because

614
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 14: as good as OKC has been, they are the best

615
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 14: team in the NBA. They have the best player right

616
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 14: now in the NBA and in SGA. But the Indiana

617
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 14: Pacers can give them a handful. They can give them

618
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 14: everything they want, and the reason being is because Indiana

619
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 14: as a team is just as deep as are the

620
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 14: Thunder and they would absolutely make that a series. I'm

621
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 14: not sure if it would be a great series if

622
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,239
Speaker 14: they're going up against the Knicks, because the Knicks are

623
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 14: so front loaded, But when you.

624
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 10: Think about going one through twelve, the Pacers are right there.

625
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 10: They don't have the star that the.

626
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 14: Thunder have in Sga, but from a depth standpoint, they

627
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 14: can match him totals up.

628
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 2: And I know it sounds blasphemous to say this, but

629
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 2: Sga has a game. He can lead the league in

630
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: scoring multiple years. And you know, the last time Iversen

631
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: was like that, obviously, Jordan was like, there aren't a

632
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 2: lot of guys that you go every year like he

633
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: could lead the league in scoring the next five years.

634
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised at all. But he doesn't. There's

635
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 2: no highlights, really, it's just it's methodical. I'm coming at you,

636
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: and it may be mid range jumpers, it may be layups,

637
00:30:54,920 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 2: but that's it. No threes, but it's pretty dominating in

638
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: a quiet way.

639
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 10: I think it really is.

640
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 14: And the reason why I think that he won't end

641
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 14: up being a guy that leads the league in scoring

642
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 14: for the next few years is because he's becoming an

643
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 14: even better playmaker. And one of the things that Shade

644
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 14: said early I had the chances my first TV game,

645
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 14: believed when I was in Oklahoma City this year and

646
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 14: Mark Dignoff told us that Shade has come into this

647
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 14: season with intent on empowering his teammates because he wants

648
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 14: to make sure that they are prepared when he gets.

649
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 10: The playoffs, and it has worked.

650
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 14: You've seen what j Jaalen Williams has done, You've seen

651
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 14: what Chet has done. You consider a team that has

652
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 14: really jailed around their superstar. But more importantly, each and

653
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 14: every one of those guys has had better and career years.

654
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 14: Even though he continues to lead a league in scoring,

655
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 14: and now you see him becoming much more facilitator and playmaker.

656
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 14: I think he's only going to get better over these

657
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 14: next few years.

658
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 2: We came up with a new category. It's not whole

659
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: of theme, but of great so like Jamal Crawford, Joe Johnson,

660
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: you know the guys who aren't Hall of Famers, but

661
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: they're right there. So do you have a nominee for

662
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 2: the Hall of great.

663
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 10: I can give you a bunch of them.

664
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 14: I'll start with Rip Hamilton and I got a chance

665
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 14: to see Riff at the you know euybl event last weekend.

666
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 14: He's a guy that I'm not sure if he'll get

667
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 14: into the Hall of Fame, but he is absolutely great.

668
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 14: You think about Larry Johnson and you can look at

669
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 14: the Knick sideline alone, to the people showing up the treell' spree, well,

670
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 14: Alan Houston. You go down the list of guys who

671
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 14: have been there, just the Knick Stakes alone, that I've

672
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 14: been fortunate to be able to hang out with for

673
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 14: the last couple of days in this series. All those

674
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 14: guys are in that area. They've been all stars and

675
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 14: at the same time may not be Hall of famers,

676
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 14: but you know, you cannot duplicate what those guys were

677
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 14: able to do, especially in the era in which.

678
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 10: They were able to do it.

679
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 14: And you take each and every one of those guys

680
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 14: and you transplant them into today's era, that scoring average

681
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 14: goes up five to sixty one points per game, that

682
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 14: efficiency goes up, and now you're talking about guys who

683
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 14: are Hall of Fame players.

684
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 2: Anybody scare you when you played.

685
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 10: I mean Michael Jordan.

686
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 14: I mean, but other than that, No, But you know,

687
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 14: the first time I met Mike then we were at

688
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 14: a game is called the World's Greatest Pickup Game in Greensboro,

689
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 14: North Carolina. His agent, Fred Whitfield, we used to put

690
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 14: it on and you walk in the room and the

691
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 14: first time you see Mike, it's that horror around him.

692
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 10: But one thing about Michael Jordan, he.

693
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 14: Doesn't let to look at him like that because he

694
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 14: immediately starts talking trash to you, and he knows all

695
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 14: of your history, of your background or whatever may be.

696
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 14: So he basically welcomes people by talking trash to them.

697
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 14: And all of a sudden, now you open up, you're

698
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 14: having this debate with Michael Jordan. You walk away from

699
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 14: there thinking yourself, Wow, I just got a chance to

700
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 14: talk to Michael Jordan. But when it's all said and done,

701
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 14: when you got to see him in a Chicago twenty three,

702
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 14: it was a different world. And again, like just to

703
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 14: see the way that the community showed up and cheered

704
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 14: for him, even against you on home games.

705
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 10: Et cetera.

706
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 7: That would be the only guy.

707
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 14: And I think that's really during my time of covering

708
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 14: the NBA that's really incited fear into anyone, and that

709
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 14: includes any player today. I mean, he's the only guy

710
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 14: that I thought that people actually fear great.

711
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: To talk to you. Let's do this again. Have fun

712
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 2: on Saturday. Safe travels to Indiana.

713
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 10: Sounds good man, Thanks for having me.

714
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 2: That's Corey Alexander, ESPN Radio analyst. Be working for the

715
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,240
Speaker 2: Mothership Game six and start coverage at seven thirty Eastern.

716
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 2: Take a break. When we come back the best week

717
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 2: in sports. We'll have our nominees more of your phone

718
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: calls as well. We're back after this.

719
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan

720
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific

721
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio a app.

722
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 2: It may not happen this upcoming season, but March is

723
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, you might see seventy two to

724
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,439
Speaker 2: seventy six teams in the field. There are conversations going

725
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 2: on right now with the NCAA, and also they're TV

726
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 2: partners which includes CBS, and that would be expanding the tournament,

727
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: which is something that I told you about a while ago,

728
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 2: that I'd gotten word that they might go to seventy

729
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 2: six but they probably would do seventy two, and then

730
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 2: the next step would be to go to seventy six.

731
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 2: They're always going to add, they'll never subtract. There's so

732
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 2: much money at stake. That's why, you know, when people

733
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: were kicking and screaming about going from national title game

734
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 2: to now having four teams in there, to now you

735
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: have twelve they got to twelve, they were like, well,

736
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: why don't we get to sixteen? Because everybody realized that

737
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: there's billions of dollars at stake here, and that's what

738
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 2: everybody is, you know, trying to find a chair to sit.

739
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: You know, when the music stops, you want to have

740
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 2: a chair to sit. And you go, okay, we're going

741
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 2: to be able to make money. You know, the SEC.

742
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 2: I could see the SEC. Now it's not going to happen,

743
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 2: but I could see the SEC saying to the rest

744
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 2: of college football, you know what, we'll just have our

745
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 2: own league. The heck with you guys, We'll just do it.

746
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 2: We'll keep all the money that we make, and uh,

747
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: you know, we're the best league. People want to watch us.

748
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 2: And if you don't let us get a certain number

749
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 2: of schools into the playoffs, I mean, Greg sank you'll

750
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: probably join us next week. The commissioner of the SEC,

751
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's trying to be very pragmatic about this,

752
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 2: but he also has to be fair to you know,

753
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: his teams, to his conference of we got the best conference.

754
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: Why are you know, are you going to limit the

755
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 2: number of teams that we can have in here? Shouldn't

756
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: we get an automatic whatever it is? And I think

757
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 2: that's where we're headed with college football, that you're going

758
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 2: to go to a sixteen team playoff schedule coming up

759
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six, and I think they're going to

760
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 2: expand March badness as well.

761
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, poem, I have a quick pie to the face

762
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,880
Speaker 6: bet off the possible nca basket expansion. WHOA, I'm going

763
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 6: to say it will not happen when we do this show.

764
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 6: Let's say a year from today, it still has been

765
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: not been approved and there will not be a expansion

766
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 6: of the college basketball tournament.

767
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 2: Does anybody anybody want a piece of that pie with

768
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 2: the face expansion? It will not be expanded, I'm saying.

769
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: So the side of the bet we would have to

770
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,720
Speaker 2: take is that it will expand.

771
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 6: And never one expects it to. I think the sentiment

772
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 6: is against it, and the networks are not going to

773
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 6: come to an agreement.

774
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 2: I just think it means more, you know, play in

775
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: games that you know first four, that you just load

776
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 2: up those first two like Tuesday and Wednesday, you just

777
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,800
Speaker 2: load them up. Nobody's going to go too many games

778
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,439
Speaker 2: at the start. I mean, the only people who would

779
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: complain is when you fill out your brackets. Do you

780
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: have to fill out your brackets and include those games

781
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 2: as well? That I think people are fine with it.

782
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: It's just, you know what, a couple exter teams and

783
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: a couple extra games. I don't see any downside too it.

784
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 5: Now.

785
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: I didn't want it to expand to this many to

786
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 2: begin with. I'd still like it to have a certain

787
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: number that you know, it's hard to get in, it's

788
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 2: hard to win. Now everybody gets in. But I think

789
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: they'll expand. I don't know if they'll expand next year,

790
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 2: but they will. By the time we're done with this show,

791
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 2: I think they will have gotten to seventy two, if

792
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: not seventy six. By the way, we're going to slide

793
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 2: into the weekend, and that's brought to you by King Sawaiian.

794
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,399

795
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: We're having sliders today for our brunch our meat Friday.

796
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 2: Get ready for summer grilling season. Go to the bakery

797
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,400

800
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 2: six and Knicks are getting four Yankees at the Dodgers. Hmm,

801
00:38:55,640 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 2: that's spicey, that's tasty, that is really nice. Theregers who

802
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 2: still think have the best record in baseball at the Royals.

803
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 2: And Terry Scooble he is supposed to be on the

804
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 2: bump for the Tigers. He of course when his second

805
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 2: cy young, I believe, No, he had the triple crown

806
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: is what he is. Yeah, he has won, but he's

807
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: a huge favorite to win his second. Saya the Memorial Turner,

808
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 2: that's Jack's tournament. Jack a little frosty. It sounded like

809
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: that Roy McElroy not playing, and nobody told Jack. He

810
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: didn't tell Jack that he wasn't playing in the memorial.

811
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: And all of those great players, they always, you know,

812
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 2: they acknowledge Jack, and you try to play in the memorial.

813
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: How about the WNBA sky at the Wings, Paige Beckers,

814
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 2: she's averaging fourteen and six. I saw where Diana Tarassi said.

815
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 2: When it's all said and done, Paige Beckers will be

816
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 2: the best player in the WNBA. She's a great player.

817
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 2: I don't know if she's going to be the best

818
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,000
