Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Hope you had a great weekend. Everybody gangs
Speaker 1: all here ready to go on this Monday, as we
Speaker 1: always do every Monday, best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 1: Operator Tyler standing by, dial us up a seven seven
Speaker 1: three DP show email address, DPA Dan Patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: Twitter handle a TP show and we'll have a pull question,
Speaker 1: play of the day, stat of the day. Peter King
Speaker 1: will join us coming up in a little bit. That's
Speaker 1: a little bit. He was at the Raiders camp, the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's camp, and he has eighteen more stops. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Peter King. Lamar Jackson in the on
Speaker 1: deck circle waiting for his contract. Will it happen before
Speaker 1: the season starts, and is it more along the lines
Speaker 1: of a Deshaun Watson deal or is it going to
Speaker 1: be like Kyler Murray. Peter will join us coming up
Speaker 1: at about twenty minutes. In an hour. In twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: Charles Barkley will join us. A few things to talk
Speaker 1: to Charles about, not only the possibility of him going
Speaker 1: to the lib Tour, maybe leaving TNT to go to
Speaker 1: the Live tour, but also what's going on with the
Speaker 1: Celtics and the Nets. About an hour ago, Woach had
Speaker 1: a bomb that said, the Celtics have emerged among teams
Speaker 1: engaged in talks on a possible deal to acquire Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: Still in the exploratory stage here, but this is what
Speaker 1: I found interesting. The Celtics were the ones who reached
Speaker 1: out to the Nets. The Nets had been reaching out,
Speaker 1: at least reportedly reaching out saying, hey, you want Kevin Durant,
Speaker 1: what are you going to give us? The Celtics were
Speaker 1: proactive here. Now. I don't know if this is just
Speaker 1: at the beginning part of it, it feels that way,
Speaker 1: but the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns and the Raptors
Speaker 1: they are they're trying varying degrees of interest here in
Speaker 1: Durant to see if they can pull off a deal. Now,
Speaker 1: the possibility of a deal for Durant to Boston would
Speaker 1: include Jay and Brown, not Jason Tatum, and then there
Speaker 1: would be draft picks in their unprotected draft picks. That'd
Speaker 1: probably be a couple other players involved in that got
Speaker 1: to make the salaries work as well. But that it's
Speaker 1: about an hour ago that Woag had the bomb about
Speaker 1: the possibility of the Nets and the Boston Celtics maybe
Speaker 1: pulling off a deal. Now, he did caution everybody here.
Speaker 1: He's just reporting that the Celtics have had talks with
Speaker 1: the Nets. That's it. I'm sure that the Sun's did.
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Raptors have. I'm sure that the Miami
Speaker 1: Heat have. But you have details here. That's the difference
Speaker 1: that you actually have players that we know that that's
Speaker 1: the guy or those are the guys, and this is
Speaker 1: what they want. But if I'm the Boston Celtics, and yes,
Speaker 1: you want Kevin Durant, and if you could give up
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, Jalen Brown has two more years on his contract,
Speaker 1: you might lose him after two years. And if you
Speaker 1: want to throw in Grant Williams, you want to throw
Speaker 1: and some draft picks. Now there's another report that said
Speaker 1: that they're looking at Mark is Smart, that the Nets
Speaker 1: would like to have Jalen Brown, Mark is Smart, and
Speaker 1: maybe another player and some draft picks. If I'm the
Speaker 1: Nets that I'm trading Kevin Durant, I want to get
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum. That's it. I want Jason Tatum. You know,
Speaker 1: we the Nets may go hey, you know what we're
Speaker 1: not in an advantageous situation here, Well you are. You
Speaker 1: got Kevin Durant under contract, Just keep them, that's all.
Speaker 1: How badly does he one out? I also find it
Speaker 1: interesting ironic as they might say that here's Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: maybe leaving the Nets, leaving Kyrie behind to go to
Speaker 1: the Celtics, and then some of the Celtics who played
Speaker 1: with Kyrie would then be going to the Nets to
Speaker 1: play with Kyrie. That's pretty good, that's kind of delicious there.
Speaker 1: But right now, just the exploratory, the beginning, the eonic
Speaker 1: stages of maybe a trade here. But if I start
Speaker 1: to look at this and I go, Okay, who am
Speaker 1: I getting? Who am I building around? That's if I
Speaker 1: look at it from the Nets, because we always look
Speaker 1: at it from the other side of things. Where you go, boy,
Speaker 1: the Celtics could get Kevin Durant, Okay, what DoD the
Speaker 1: Nets get in return? Because Katie's going to go there.
Speaker 1: Jaylen Brown, okay, good player, And if the Celtics had
Speaker 1: won the title, might have been the MVP in the
Speaker 1: finals was far better than Jason Tatum. You got Marcus
Speaker 1: Smart kind of figured out his role. You brought in
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brogden to Boston, so you do have the possibility
Speaker 1: of Malcolm Brogden being your starting point guard not coming
Speaker 1: off the bench. You want to throw in a big man,
Speaker 1: You want to throw in somebody defensive minded, Robert Williams,
Speaker 1: I mean, throw in whoever and some draft picks there.
Speaker 1: If I'm the Nets, I need a little bit more there.
Speaker 1: But if I'm the Celtics, do I do it? Do
Speaker 1: I give up Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Robert Williams. Here's
Speaker 1: the other part is if you're involved in the trade talks,
Speaker 1: like Jaylen Brown is probably going, oh, should I take
Speaker 1: this as a compliment that it's me for Kevin Durant
Speaker 1: sort of? Or does he go I'm not staying here
Speaker 1: no matter what. If I don't get traded, I'm not
Speaker 1: staying here. You know you don't value me. I was
Speaker 1: our best player in the NBA Finals. Now you want
Speaker 1: to send me to the Nets for Kevin Durant. But
Speaker 1: let's say you look at it as three year window,
Speaker 1: because that's how I would look at this. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get Kevin Durant for three years. Do I say that's
Speaker 1: enough for three years? Because I got I got the
Speaker 1: you know, the ages of these players with the Celtics.
Speaker 1: If I factor that in there, they're all young. And
Speaker 1: if I could have Jalen Brown, who I'd love to
Speaker 1: see what he does Outside of Jason Tatum, You've got
Speaker 1: a twenty five year old potential superstar and maybe benefited
Speaker 1: by being you know, a pippinto Tatum's Jordan, but Tatum's
Speaker 1: twenty four. Tatum is the next Kevin Durant. Perhaps that's
Speaker 1: where I would still say, look, we'll trade you a KD,
Speaker 1: but we want Jason Tatum back. We'll take less in return,
Speaker 1: But I'm going to guess that conversation doesn't last that long.
Speaker 1: Let you put KD in there with Jason Tatum and
Speaker 1: then surround him with whatever you have left over. And
Speaker 1: I was curious what DraftKings would have. Now here's the potential.
Speaker 1: Now this is based off the potential for a trade
Speaker 1: title odds you've shifted. The Celtics are an even larger
Speaker 1: favorite to win next year's NBA title. So on the
Speaker 1: twelfth of this month, the Celtics were plus five fifty
Speaker 1: to win it all. Boston's now plus five hundred, the
Speaker 1: second best odds Clippers and the Warriors at plus six hundred. Well,
Speaker 1: if you're Boston and right now you're the favorites to
Speaker 1: win the NBA title, why do you trade for Kevin Durant.
Speaker 1: You got it, you got Tatum, you got Brown, Brogden
Speaker 1: came in, Marcus Smart. I think I got a good team,
Speaker 1: got a good coach. I would stand Pat. I mean,
Speaker 1: Katie is great to have, wonderful player, one of the
Speaker 1: great players of all time. I don't want to give
Speaker 1: up too much to get him, and then maybe you
Speaker 1: don't have the depth to win a championship here. And
Speaker 1: Golden Stage certainly won because of the depth that they
Speaker 1: had and they didn't even play Aminga and Wiseman was injured.
Speaker 1: But having Wiggins in pool to help out with Steph
Speaker 1: Curry and Draymond Green and Clay Thompson, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: why they won the title. And it feels like it's
Speaker 1: two really good players, superstars, and then depth because sometimes
Speaker 1: you go for the big three. I would stay with
Speaker 1: the you know, the big two, and then have depth there.
Speaker 1: If I'm Boston, as much as you know you would
Speaker 1: love to have kad I'd rather keep Jalen Brown and
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum together unless they don't like each other, unless
Speaker 1: their games are very very similar, and then you think
Speaker 1: you got to do something different. But I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's gonna mean for Katie and Jason Tatum getting
Speaker 1: along out there playing the same position. Yeah, Mark, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you, And I think that it's going to
Speaker 1: be so awkward if none of this happens and you
Speaker 1: go back to training camp and Brad Stevens like, Hey, Jalen,
Speaker 1: how's it going? What do you mean, how's it going?
Speaker 1: How is your off season? How was your all season? Bread? Disappointed?
Speaker 1: I'm sure. Yeah. But I if I'm the Nets, I
Speaker 1: want Jason Tatum. If I'm the Celtics, I would stand pat.
Speaker 1: I would I know that sounds crazy to turn down
Speaker 1: Kevin Durant, but what do I give up in return?
Speaker 1: And do I have enough to win a championship? Yeah, Pollie.
Speaker 1: According to Sham Sharania from The Athletic an hour ago,
Speaker 1: he reported the Boston Celtics offered Jaylen Brown for Durant
Speaker 1: in that package, and the Nets are the ones who
Speaker 1: turned it down. As of right now, the Nets turned
Speaker 1: it down, so the Celtics wanted it the Celtics want Yeah,
Speaker 1: they want Katie, but they they're giving up Jaylen Brown. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm saying that officially the Nets passed on that
Speaker 1: deal an hour ago, according to the Athletic. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I understand it if I can keep Jason Tatum and
Speaker 1: then I got Durant. Sure, Now is Marcus smart in?
Speaker 1: There is Robert Wait. I mean, I don't know who
Speaker 1: else is going to be thrown in there, but right
Speaker 1: now it's just this dart And of course it's on
Speaker 1: a Monday, and it's early, so everybody's gonna fly with
Speaker 1: this today discussion. It just talks. Okay, it's nothing. I
Speaker 1: don't know how serious it is. It might be one
Speaker 1: of those where you know, I you know, growing up,
Speaker 1: I remember calling girls to go out on a date.
Speaker 1: We never went out on a date, but we did
Speaker 1: talk about maybe going out on a date. I feel
Speaker 1: like the word exploratory. Yeah calls, they're just what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Would you want to go to the football game.
Speaker 1: It's not like we were getting married, but that's what
Speaker 1: it feels like anything that has to do with Durant,
Speaker 1: certainly this time of the year. Then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's going to go from zero to sixteen. Make sure
Speaker 1: you sign it for the DP Show newsletter, available daily
Speaker 1: at six eastern three Pacific. Go to Dan Patrick dot com.
Speaker 1: Put your email on dress in the box. It slides
Speaker 1: out bottom right corner. We have sixty five thousand hardcore
Speaker 1: members who have signed up for the Damn Patrick Show newsletter.
Speaker 1: Stat of the Day brought you by Panini America, the
Speaker 1: official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show. Let's see
Speaker 1: anything else that his front burners stuff. We'll talk football
Speaker 1: with Peter King coming up. Charles Barkley will stop by
Speaker 1: NFL training camps. They will all be opened by Tuesday.
Speaker 1: I still don't understand the staggered start, and shouldn't we
Speaker 1: allow the teams that aren't very good to start earlier.
Speaker 1: I gotta talk to Peter about that. David Ortiz got
Speaker 1: inducted into the Hall of Fame yesterday. I don't understand this.
Speaker 1: Why not have the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in
Speaker 1: the morning, let's say, from eleven till one, ten until one,
Speaker 1: however long it last. If you have games on a
Speaker 1: Sunday and there in the afternoon or in the evening,
Speaker 1: why have the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies while they're
Speaker 1: playing baseball. So when Big Poppy was being introduced yesterday,
Speaker 1: the Red Sox we're playing, how about you do this
Speaker 1: in April. How about you do this to start the season.
Speaker 1: The NFL does this where you have the players who
Speaker 1: are going to be there Hall of Fame weekend in August,
Speaker 1: start the season. Have a football game there. Why not
Speaker 1: have you know, the I don't know the World Series
Speaker 1: teams play the start of the season, have Hall of
Speaker 1: Fame weekend. But or right, you know, like Big Poppy
Speaker 1: being introduced, you know, giving a speech that you have
Speaker 1: that on the JumboTron there at Fenway while they're taking
Speaker 1: VP that the fans who didn't go could watch it.
Speaker 1: That's all hardcore fans are going to watch the game,
Speaker 1: but celebrate the game, don't. Hey, you know, we got
Speaker 1: a game going on and oh the induction ceremony. There
Speaker 1: are times when I see some things and I go,
Speaker 1: this is so obvious that maybe it's not so obbyous
Speaker 1: like you're going. Doesn't that make sense? Have it in
Speaker 1: the morning where it's a little cooler than staying outside
Speaker 1: where it's really hot. You know, Upstate New York Afternoon
Speaker 1: Hot Yeah more and the way the Red Sox, the
Speaker 1: way the weekend went. Oh, they would have much rather
Speaker 1: watched anything else besides the Red Sox playing baseball. We
Speaker 1: could talk about how complicated other banks make it to
Speaker 1: redeem credit card rewards. We could talk about how you
Speaker 1: can do it with Discover. Redeem your rewards in cash
Speaker 1: at anytime, any amount. That's amazing. Learn more Discover dot
Speaker 1: com slash redeem rewards terms supply. All right, so Peter
Speaker 1: King will join us. See you got a pull question
Speaker 1: for us? Sure, Well, we could do one off of
Speaker 1: what you're just talking about with Kevin Durant, better duo
Speaker 1: Durant Tatum or Brown Tatum or even Kyrie Durant. Well,
Speaker 1: the Kyrie part of this is interesting too, because if
Speaker 1: you get Jayalen Brown, do I need Marcus Smart? I
Speaker 1: guess if he's going to play a true point guard?
Speaker 1: And then I got Kyrie playing the two? Yeah, Seed,
Speaker 1: I just love the idea that Kevin Durant and Kyrie
Speaker 1: get together in Brooklyn. Kevin Durant would then leave to
Speaker 1: go to the Celtics, where Kyrie just left because he
Speaker 1: didn't want to play with those dudes, and now he's
Speaker 1: going to end up playing with the guys with the
Speaker 1: Celtics that he left originally because Kevin Durant left him
Speaker 1: eight seven seven three DP show email undress DPA Dan Patrick. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that player empowerment here. All right, we'll take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll talk to some football with Peter King. Barkley joins
Speaker 1: us in an hour from now. We'll take a break.
Speaker 1: We're back after this Dan Patrick Show. I just mentioned
Speaker 1: Discover real rewards. If you're a loyal credit card customer,
Speaker 1: you should be rewarded for your loyalty, preferably with something
Speaker 1: actually wants, something you can actually use, something like cashback match.
Speaker 1: Discover matches all the cashback you've heard at the end
Speaker 1: of the year, first year, and they do that automatically
Speaker 1: dollar for dollar, because when it comes to rewards, you
Speaker 1: can't go wrong with cash back. Finally, rewards that makes sense.
Speaker 1: Discover exceptionally common sense. Learn more at discover dot com.
Speaker 1: Slash match limitations like Fritzie do apply. Thanks for listening

Speaker 1: us live on the Peacock app. Play of the Day
Speaker 1: coming up, Settle on a pole question as well. A
Speaker 1: lot of people want to talk about the possibility of
Speaker 1: a Kevin Durant trade to the Boston Celtics right now
Speaker 1: in the exploratory stages, so right, WOJ had that this morning.
Speaker 1: Right now, it's just a conversation and even downplayed that.
Speaker 1: Not exactly a wog bomb, but certainly something that could
Speaker 1: potentially lead to something a little bit bigger here. But
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown's involved in it, not Jason Tatum. And if
Speaker 1: I'm the NETS, I certainly want to hear Jason Tatum's name.
Speaker 1: And you're not going to H seven seven three D
Speaker 1: P show. Email Andre SDP at dan patrick dot com,
Speaker 1: twitter handle a DP show. Peter King is going to
Speaker 1: join us momentarily, Peter. Want to see the Raiders, want
Speaker 1: to see the Buffalo Bills. Here is a comment from
Speaker 1: Davante Adams talking about going from one Hall of Fame
Speaker 1: quarterback in Green Bay to a Hall of Fame quarterback
Speaker 1: with the Raiders. I mean, anytime you change quarterbacks from
Speaker 1: you know, hall of Famer to Hall of Famer you go,
Speaker 1: you know, Stabler to rich Gannon or whoever you go to.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit of an adjustment. And
Speaker 1: you know, both are great players and great to be around.
Speaker 1: So I'm just enjoying that process and getting better myself.
Speaker 1: You're trying to do as much as I can to
Speaker 1: help these guys who go out there and win as
Speaker 1: many games and we can. That's courtesy as CBS Sports HQ.
Speaker 1: Peter King was with the Raiders, of course, the great
Speaker 1: columnists for Football Morning in America NBC Sports dot Com.
Speaker 1: What'd you make of those comments that I'd like that
Speaker 1: he believes in Derek Carr but hall of Fame quarterback.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, what's he gonna say, Go from
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame quarterback to a nice quarterback? I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, I mean, I'll just say this, Dan, we
Speaker 1: live in an age where every athlete knows that being
Speaker 1: absolutely totally honest and saying that, Hey, you know, I
Speaker 1: was with one of the top ten quarterbacks of all
Speaker 1: time and Aaron Rodgers, and now I'm going to a
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl caliber quarterback. I'm really happy. I'm fortunate to
Speaker 1: be able to do it. But let's face it, Derek
Speaker 1: Carr's not Aaron Rodgers. I mean, so he can't say that.
Speaker 1: So he then has to say something that obviously is
Speaker 1: a stretch, but I don't know. It goes in one
Speaker 1: ear and out the other. To me. Explain to me
Speaker 1: the love for the Raiders so far, it feels like
Speaker 1: the media is on this bandwagon early. Are you buying
Speaker 1: the Raider hype? Well, well, they made the playoffs last year,
Speaker 1: and in their only playoff game last year, they were
Speaker 1: very competitive and almost beat the champion of the AFC.
Speaker 1: The eventual champion of the AFC. They added the best
Speaker 1: receiver in football and a transcendent for them anyway, Pass
Speaker 1: Rusher to team with Max Crosby. I mean, why wouldn't
Speaker 1: you be excited about the Raiders. I think the Raiders
Speaker 1: have a chance to be really good. Unfortunately, really good.
Speaker 1: You also might have to overcome going two and four
Speaker 1: or three and three in your division. What's going to
Speaker 1: be really interesting? I figure there's a bunch of early
Speaker 1: games that are fun. But like Josh McDaniels told me
Speaker 1: over the weekend, he goes, you should go to that
Speaker 1: our first game of the year, And I had to
Speaker 1: think for a minute, Raiders at Chargers. He goes, that's
Speaker 1: really going to be a great game because the Chargers
Speaker 1: obviously made a lot of improvements this offseason, and the
Speaker 1: Raiders made improvements this offseason. So every team in that
Speaker 1: division is going to be better. So even if the
Speaker 1: Raiders are better, it doesn't necessarily mean they're even going
Speaker 1: to be a playoff team. But I like what I
Speaker 1: saw when I saw him this weekend. But you talk
Speaker 1: about teams getting better, did the Chiefs get better? No,
Speaker 1: they didn't. They're the one, but they've won the division
Speaker 1: six years in a row, so you know, somebody is
Speaker 1: still going to have to knock off the King anytime.
Speaker 1: You have Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey and obviously at very
Speaker 1: diminished receiver corps. But but you know, Juju Smith, Schuster
Speaker 1: and this rookie sky More I think is going to
Speaker 1: be an impact player. And we'll see about Marquees Valdis Scandling,
Speaker 1: but they're going to be good enough on offense. It's
Speaker 1: like everybody's saying, well, you know, the Packers without DeVante Adams,
Speaker 1: they are not going to be as good because Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers always figured this stuff out. Yes, he does. So.
Speaker 1: When I did my thirty two teams thirty two questions
Speaker 1: in the column today, I wrote about the Packers special
Speaker 1: teams and Rich Bisaccia coming in to me, that's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing that they have to deal with. They lost
Speaker 1: a playoff game to a weak offensive team in San
Speaker 1: Francisco at home. They lost it because they couldn't play
Speaker 1: special teams. So that to me is a bigger question
Speaker 1: right now in Green Bay because Aaron Rodgers always figures
Speaker 1: it out. Deebo Samuel situation kind of quiet. I don't know, Dan,
Speaker 1: it strikes me that John Lynch is really going to
Speaker 1: try to get something done under the radar to try
Speaker 1: to keep Deebo Samuel happy. Look in the past, some
Speaker 1: players in search of a new contract report to training camp,
Speaker 1: don't practice and just it go to all the media
Speaker 1: and so to not have a war with that player,
Speaker 1: a lot of times the team just grits his teeth
Speaker 1: and says, Okay, just come to meetings and stay here
Speaker 1: and we won't find you. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: what Deebo Samuel is going to do or not. If
Speaker 1: you're Lamar Jackson's camp, what happens do you is there
Speaker 1: an initiative on your part? Are you waiting for the
Speaker 1: Ravens to act on a contract extension? You know, Dan,
Speaker 1: I've said all along that to me, I'd like to
Speaker 1: see Lamar Jackson play well in the postseason before paying
Speaker 1: him more money than Patrick Mahomes. To me, that's and
Speaker 1: I still feel that way. He's played four playoff games.
Speaker 1: He has not played well in any one of those
Speaker 1: four games. And you know you're not signing a guy
Speaker 1: for the long term because he can play well in October.
Speaker 1: You think you've signed him because you think he can
Speaker 1: lead you to a championship. Now, it could be that
Speaker 1: the Ravens might say, Okay, we'll risk it. We'll sign
Speaker 1: him for four years, forty seven million year or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, because if he does win a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: or plays great in the playoffs, then all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's a Flacco situation. We don't even remember this, we
Speaker 1: didn't even think about this, but one decade ago, Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco was the first twenty million dollar player in NFL history.
Speaker 1: It seems almost laughable to think about that now, but
Speaker 1: he's the first twenty million dollar player in history because
Speaker 1: he bet on himself and he said, I'm going to
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl next year, be a free agent,
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have to break the bank for me.
Speaker 1: That's what they did. If I were Jackson, I wouldn't
Speaker 1: mind doing that. If I gave you a five year
Speaker 1: contract to give to either Kyler or Lamar, you had
Speaker 1: to give it to one one of those two, I'd
Speaker 1: probably give it to Lamar because I just, you know,
Speaker 1: there's something about Kyler that worries me a bit. You know,
Speaker 1: he's a small human being relatively speaking, Not that you know,
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is a is a sequoia. But you know,
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is gonna you know, part of his game
Speaker 1: is his legs, as is you know, the same thing
Speaker 1: with Jackson. But I just I fear Kyler Murray. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're very different in terms of what they
Speaker 1: can produce over the course of a season. But I
Speaker 1: worry a little bit about Murray staying healthy. We're talking
Speaker 1: to Peter King Football Morning, an America economist and course
Speaker 1: contributor with NBC Sports. The market for Jimmy Garoppolo is what.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't I really don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: I keep thinking that he'll end up in Seattle, and
Speaker 1: maybe he will. But the smartest thing for Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: to do is right now to just tell the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers don't do anything. I don't want to go
Speaker 1: anywhere till Labor Day, even if I go somewhere then,
Speaker 1: because remember, you know, in twenty fifteen, when the Sam
Speaker 1: Bradford thing happened, you know, Teddy Bridgewater gets hurt in
Speaker 1: Minnesota and Sam Bradford gets traded for a gold mine.
Speaker 1: Turned out to be a great deal for the Eagles
Speaker 1: because Carson Wentz was, you know, was ready to play.
Speaker 1: Whatever year that was, I think it was sixteen, maybe seventeen,
Speaker 1: I forget, but I think if I were him, unless
Speaker 1: I got some assurance from Seattle that I really had
Speaker 1: a chance to be the long term guy, I would
Speaker 1: if I were him, I'd rather wait till to see
Speaker 1: what everybody's health is. On Labor Day weekend you were
Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. It seemed like it was boy
Speaker 1: band crazy for Josh Allen up there with the fans
Speaker 1: hope for, wish for expect out of Josh Allen. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen a reaction to a player in an in
Speaker 1: training camp like that. I don't know if I don't
Speaker 1: remember the last time I saw a reaction. They were
Speaker 1: absolutely bonkers for Josh Allen. He's become you know, Sean
Speaker 1: McDermott said something very interesting to me, yes, sir, because
Speaker 1: I complimented him. Remember in May when there was the
Speaker 1: grocery store slaughter in Buffalo and the bills they took
Speaker 1: like five buses. Everybody in the organization came in and
Speaker 1: and Stefan Diggs flew in. He wasn't even at their
Speaker 1: mini camp and he flew in to be able to
Speaker 1: go and be with his teammates there. And Josh Allen
Speaker 1: stood up and he was the spokesman for the team,
Speaker 1: not the coach, not the GM not the owner. It
Speaker 1: was Josh Allen was the spokesman. He was eloquent, and
Speaker 1: I think he has become something of a bit of
Speaker 1: a civic icon there very early in his career. And
Speaker 1: what I should mentioned, McDermott said to me, he goes,
Speaker 1: you know, athletes in a town can be hugely important.
Speaker 1: He said, remember when David Ortiz stood up at Fenway
Speaker 1: Park and said, this is our bleep in city, and
Speaker 1: you know, and everybody said, oh, geez. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: little kids are listening to that. But David Ortiz was saying, hey, look,
Speaker 1: don't ff around with us, man, because we are going
Speaker 1: to come back with a vengeance. And I think Josh
Speaker 1: Allen in what he did around the time of that
Speaker 1: shooting really kind of propelled himself into a bit of
Speaker 1: a civically year status. Is the time frame of the
Speaker 1: season factored in with the decision with DeShawn Watson. I
Speaker 1: mean I thought we'd have a decision by July twenty five. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the Browns need to know, and they need to know
Speaker 1: if they are going to have to go out. I mean,
Speaker 1: if Suell Robinson, the arbitrator, says I agree we're going
Speaker 1: to suspend him for a year, or I agree with
Speaker 1: the NFL's case, we're going to suspend him for a year,
Speaker 1: and then obviously it's going to be appealed and all that.
Speaker 1: But so they have to know. And again, look, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know what the process has been like.
Speaker 1: But it's time for her to make a decision. She's
Speaker 1: got to do it this week. Pete, good to talk
Speaker 1: to you. Off to the Patriots coming up later this week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: going to the Patriots and then going to see the Browns,
Speaker 1: also in the Steelers, and then eighteen teams total in
Speaker 1: about the next three and a half weeks. What happens
Speaker 1: when you cross paths with Belichick? I don't know. I
Speaker 1: haven't talked to him in fifteen years, so I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. We don't say anything to each other.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't really know. I have not cross
Speaker 1: paths with him many times, and I doubt I will
Speaker 1: in Foxboro this week. Have you put in a request
Speaker 1: to talk to Yes, I have a couple of times too.
Speaker 1: He has chosen and not to. We actually reached out
Speaker 1: to him and we said we'll only talk Army, Navy,
Speaker 1: that's it. And then the response was he's considering it.
Speaker 1: That's as close as we got to Belichick that he
Speaker 1: was considering it. Hey, look, you know, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: that's the hazard. Sometime in this job, you have an opinion,
Speaker 1: you write things, people don't like it, they choose not
Speaker 1: to talk to you. This goes back to the spygate thing,
Speaker 1: and you know, and it's just that's just that's life.
Speaker 1: That's life in the big city, and you experience it.
Speaker 1: I experience it. We're all big people and the life
Speaker 1: goes on. Anybody else that is on that list, Pete,
Speaker 1: that you're still waiting to talk to. There's a few
Speaker 1: people who have been difficult for me, but I don't
Speaker 1: think there's anybody else who basically who I put if
Speaker 1: I put in a request, wouldn't at least consider talking
Speaker 1: to me. I'm really not, as you know, Dan, I'm
Speaker 1: not really the big bad wolf, and but I am
Speaker 1: going to say, like I I when I go to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: I would really like to talk to Deshaun Watson, even
Speaker 1: though I think his contract is an absolute abomination. I
Speaker 1: can't believe that the Browns did that. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to try to talk to all the parties involved. Hopefully
Speaker 1: I can. But I guess you'll have to look at
Speaker 1: Football Mourning in America and Monday to see how I did.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess that the last thirty seconds might preclude
Speaker 1: you from talking to de Seawan. Dan, I've said it
Speaker 1: forty eight times. I you know I'm not and it's
Speaker 1: just the way I feel. Yeah, I don't have anything
Speaker 1: against those guys. I really I like those guys, but
Speaker 1: you know, I vehemently disagree with what they did say. Travels, Pete.
Speaker 1: Always great to talk to you. Okay, Hey, thanks a lot, Dan.
Speaker 1: That's Peter King. Football Morning in America. We find down
Speaker 1: when he writes next Monday, after he visits the Patriots
Speaker 1: and the Browns and the Steelers. A couple of phone
Speaker 1: calls in here Jay in North Carolina. Hi, Jay, Hey, Jay,
Speaker 1: Well that's not a good way to start. Gerald in Cooperstown, Hi,
Speaker 1: Gerald D three A long time, first time six foot
Speaker 1: and way too much. All right, Hey, I'm calling about
Speaker 1: your You know, it's so obvious that it's not obvious
Speaker 1: about having the Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. Yeah, have you ever been out there? Yes?
Speaker 1: Und yes, all right, you haven't been there any for may.
Speaker 1: I'm guess it's a little breezy, anybody, it's a little breezy.
Speaker 1: But can you have it indoors up there in Cooperstown?
Speaker 1: How about? Still the thing is here? Here's the thing
Speaker 1: with it this year and now I haven't lived up
Speaker 1: there about well, I did live there for about I
Speaker 1: grew up up there, but last went back about four
Speaker 1: or five years ago. Coldest winner on record a foot
Speaker 1: of snow first weekend in May, and then this past year.
Speaker 1: You know, I won't even go home unless it's all
Speaker 1: because I'm just afraid it's gonna snow. And I gotta
Speaker 1: get the hell out of here by September because I'm
Speaker 1: sraid it's gonna snow. But Gerald, how about we don't
Speaker 1: have Hall of Fame speeches during games? Oh yeah, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it. That's ridiculous. I don't understand that at all.
Speaker 1: That's you know, it was all spike of faith. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's I mean, I just baseball. They just came off
Speaker 1: a great All Star weekend, beah infestive all Star week
Speaker 1: It was great, it was fun. People are talking about it.
Speaker 1: Celebrate the game. Celebrate the game so people can celebrate
Speaker 1: it with you. That's all. Yes, it is cold and
Speaker 1: Cooperstown do you have to have it outside? But you know,
Speaker 1: football has it football. I've been to Canton. I've been
Speaker 1: there for that and that is a long day, too long,
Speaker 1: so much so that they had to, you know, issue
Speaker 1: at you know, kind of time constraints there. But out
Speaker 1: augustin Canton is rough. But at least they're celebrating the
Speaker 1: game before they start playing games. As you lead into
Speaker 1: the season. It just it was weird to see Big
Speaker 1: Poppy while the Red Sox were playing it. But you know,
Speaker 1: maybe it's not a big deal to baseball, but it
Speaker 1: was just one of those where you go, why don't
Speaker 1: they do this in a different way, in a better way.
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. I got our play of the
Speaker 1: day up next more phone calls. Charles Barkley will join

Speaker 1: D P Show email address dpitt dan Patrick dot com
Speaker 1: twitter handle at dp's show. Draymond Greene tweeted out, I'm
Speaker 1: watching the nineteen ninety eight Bulls versus Utah in the finals.
Speaker 1: I can't help but notice our twenty seventeen team would
Speaker 1: have beaten these Bulls by a dub and these Jazz
Speaker 1: by forty if they were going to play these brands
Speaker 1: of basketball. That's why it's doumb to compare eras well.
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised that Draymond green would say that twenty
Speaker 1: seventeen Warriors would beat the Bulls. I would have been
Speaker 1: more surprised if he said we wouldn't have beaten the Bulls.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's a non headline. Even though we
Speaker 1: love to do this, we love to compare generations. The
Speaker 1: game is different, how you play the game is different,
Speaker 1: what you're allowed to do not allowed to do. It's
Speaker 1: fun to discuss it, but there's no right or wrong
Speaker 1: answer when it comes to this. If he thinks the
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen Warriors playing today's basketball would have beaten the Balls, fine,
Speaker 1: if those players twenty seventeen were playing the way the
Speaker 1: game was called back in nineteen ninety eight, I'd like
Speaker 1: to see that too. And there's you know, the emphasis
Speaker 1: on the three point shot. You know, players evolve. We
Speaker 1: see that that they change in accordance to what you
Speaker 1: allow them to do or they need to do. Now,
Speaker 1: you have to be able to shoot the three. Back then,
Speaker 1: you had to be able to play defense both ends
Speaker 1: of the floor and far more physical. There wasn't an
Speaker 1: emphasis on the three point shot. The big man was
Speaker 1: still a big man down low. So there's a lot
Speaker 1: of things that you can discuss, compare and contrast, and
Speaker 1: that's why it's always going to be a topic of conversation.
Speaker 1: It's like Lebron in today's game, Michael Jordan back when
Speaker 1: he played Michael now Lebron back then? What would Kareem
Speaker 1: be like now as opposed to back then? What would
Speaker 1: Shack be like now? What would Wilt be like? What
Speaker 1: would Bill Russell be like? G see where JJ Reddick said, well,
Speaker 1: he was critical of Bob Kuzy saying he played against
Speaker 1: you know, fireman and policeman. I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: technically true or not, but Jerry West came out and said, like, basically,
Speaker 1: who's JJ Reddick. You average twelve points a game. Well,
Speaker 1: in fairness to JJ, it doesn't matter what he averages.
Speaker 1: He still played. But what JJ has to understand is, yes,
Speaker 1: those guys did have second jobs, and because of those guys,
Speaker 1: you got to enjoy the riches of the NBA because
Speaker 1: they kept the NBA going because not everybody was making
Speaker 1: good money back then. In fact, they weren't making good
Speaker 1: money back then. But because of those players, because of
Speaker 1: those teams, because of those dynasties, because of those Hall
Speaker 1: of famers, you have today's game. So don't be stupid
Speaker 1: and get lost. In hell, he would have been playing
Speaker 1: against Fireman and you know whatever police officers. Maybe he
Speaker 1: was because they had to have second jobs. They didn't
Speaker 1: make this kind of money. So understand the history of
Speaker 1: the game. And yes, JJ average in twelve. He still
Speaker 1: has an opinion. I respect the opinion. So Jerry calling
Speaker 1: him out because the only average twelve points doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that he doesn't know basketball, he doesn't know the history
Speaker 1: of it, because then he wouldn't have said that about
Speaker 1: you know, Bob Kuzi or any of those other players.
Speaker 1: You know Sam Joe Bill Russell. Bill Russell played against
Speaker 1: these same players. Is he critical Bill Russell? Is it
Speaker 1: just Bob Kuzzi? But Jerry West called out JJ Reddick,
Speaker 1: say your average twelve points? Basically, who are you tough?
Speaker 1: When the logos telling you that? Yeah, that's true. You know,
Speaker 1: It's one thing if Mike Greenberg saying something to you,
Speaker 1: Kendrick Perkins all of a sudden, Wait, would the logos say, yeah,
Speaker 1: he basically called you o Yeah, who are you? Yeah?
Speaker 1: He got he averaged twelve points a game. Those guys
Speaker 1: probably smoke cigarettes at halftime. Yeah, probably probably did. Yeah.
Speaker 1: You know today's players might be firing up a bone
Speaker 1: all right, probably, Well, yeah, we heard about that with
Speaker 1: some of these players. All right, a couple of phone
Speaker 1: calls in here, Yeah, it's firing up a bone. I know,
Speaker 1: did I sound How old and white did I sound? Him? There? Marv?
Speaker 1: How old and white did I sound there? Out of ten?
Speaker 1: Jerry West appreciated the reference. Yeah, okay, someone google firing
Speaker 1: up a bone. Yes. Bob Couzy appreciated what he was like. Now,
Speaker 1: this guy gets it. I thought I heard Dan Patrick
Speaker 1: say fire up a bone? Yes, Marv I thought you're
Speaker 1: gonna say reefer, Well, the reefer. Yeah, I remember my
Speaker 1: dad referred to it as that the reefer. If I
Speaker 1: was your age, i'd probably smoked the reefer. That's definitely generational. Yes,
Speaker 1: my grandmother who smoke a refer in this house? Mom
Speaker 1: pot marijuana? Yes, boy, you say the refer It sounds
Speaker 1: like some banjo referdition, gentlemen, the refer. Yeah, don't fear
Speaker 1: the reefer. All right, maybe it's a reefer. All right, Paula,
Speaker 1: you got rookie stats for me? I have whose stats
Speaker 1: were rookie edition? All right? Marvel, I'm bringing who sets back? Yeah,
Speaker 1: this other road, don't know how. Yeah, he thinks it's
Speaker 1: funny when you hit your sack straight on his head
Speaker 1: and he did not react. Pat, suck it, Row fools,
Speaker 1: fritzie bag. We'll let you pick on me if you
Speaker 1: can't be. Hey, who's do you want? Love? Bron r
Speaker 1: m J it's only newss makes me feel this word
Speaker 1: just kidding, sucker back Row, Who's you want? Who's statt
Speaker 1: to w who's gonna want? And whose stats you want
Speaker 1: with the MVP? Whose stad to you? Whom with the
Speaker 1: jacket Jimmy d whose stats all right, fantastic. I don't
Speaker 1: even think you have to do Lee whose stats after
Speaker 1: that's been terrible disappointment. I heard a rookie quarterback from
Speaker 1: last year being kind of rifting the Jets made a mistake.
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson doesn't look good. He looked terrible as rookie year.
Speaker 1: They didn't expect him be good, and they were saying
Speaker 1: the Jets made a mistake taking Zach Wilson BYU, whose
Speaker 1: stats would you want quarterback as a rookie? Fifty two
Speaker 1: percent passing, ten touchdowns, twelve picks, twenty one hundred yards.
Speaker 1: Quarterback rating of sixty seven. This quarterback to fifty five
Speaker 1: percent passing nine touchdowns, eleven interceptions, very similar, twenty three
Speaker 1: yards a little more. Quarterback rating of sixty nine point seven.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess quarterback two is Zach Wilson of the Jets. Yes,
Speaker 1: Quarterback one is Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. Correct.
Speaker 1: I'm still going to take quarterback one because I know
Speaker 1: he's made me the best quarterback in the league. Close though,
Speaker 1: there's hope for the Jets. Charles Barkley said to join
Speaker 1: us coming up one more items we close that hour. One.
