Speaker 1: this Wednesday, Dan and The Dans Dan Patrick Show. There

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: won't be any East Coast bias when it comes to

5
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: the Final four Gonzaga, UCLA, Baylor Houston. First time in

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:23,120
Speaker 1: NCAA history, four schools west of the Mississippi will compete

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: for the national title. Eleventh seated UCLA is the only

8
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: team in the Final four to have won a national title.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 1: They won eleven of those. Will dissect this. UCLA's head

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: coach mccronin will join us. Coming up a little bit

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: later on in the show, Mike Florio will try to

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: untangle what's going on with DeShawn Watson and the latest accusations.

13
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: The number, you know, it's a lot of lawsuits. When

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: you've run, you don't remember how many lawsuits it's been.

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I think it's now twenty one lawsuits against DeShawn Watson.

16
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: But Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk will help us

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: decipher what is happening and what he expects to happen.

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: Matt Miller ESPN NFL Draft analysts will join us. Did

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: anything change yesterday with Justin Fields? And Mac Jones pro days.

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: We're told not to read too much into it, and

21
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: it feels like everybody is reading too much into it,

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: maybe more than they should. But we'll decipher that coming

23
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: up as well. Your phone calls are welcome eight seven

Speaker 1: fifth on the list. Here, so the Dan Patrick Show

31
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: is well represented. You have to go down to ninth

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: to find Dan Patrick. Paudi Paps May taking a late push.

33
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: He's tied for eleventh there. But it's interesting, interesting there.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: Seetan O'Connor, if Michigan had gone and one last night

35
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,680

Speaker 1: to those watching on Peacock and those listening on our

51
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: radio affiliates around the country numbering nearly two hundred cities.

52
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Gonzaga is gonna have to buck the trend to become

53
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: the first undefeated NCAA champ since Indiana in nineteen seventy six.

54
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: But so far the Bulldogs have lived up to the

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: hype and then some. Last night they put on a

56
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: clinic against usc advancing to the final four. And there's

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: so many things that they do right. First of all,

58
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: they're unselfish, They move without the ball, they move the ball,

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: they play defense like these are just normal things that

60
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: you would expect out of a great team, but you

61
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: don't always get those, you know, when you start to

62
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: check the boxes. Not everybody does this. You see what

63
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: Gonzaga does. And if you're old enough to remember Pete

64
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Carrill at Princeton, he had this motion offense, yet they

65
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: were usually undersized, outmanned when they would face better teams.

66
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,839
Speaker 1: But Pete Carill was really a brilliant tactician and its

67
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: movement constantly moving backdoor cuts. But you do that and

68
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: you have all of this talent. Princeton had to do

69
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: that out of necessity and they nearly upset Georgetown in

70
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournaments tournament. Gonzaga has a ton of talent,

71
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: may have the number one pick in the draft. You know,

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: they're not a mid major. They get talent, they get

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: big names, and they should be viewed that way. But

74
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think that we used to look at them,

75
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 1: is that school, the small school, well coached. But this

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: is supposed to be their coronation here. This has been

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 1: a long time in the making, with what Mark Fugh

78
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: has done. You know, Butler nearly did this twice. Brad

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: Stevens then moved on. Mark fu didn't leave, and there

80
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: are a couple of times every remember interviewing him on

81
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: the show in the last twenty years where hey, you're

82
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: up for that job. I thought he was going to

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: take the UCLA job many many years ago, but he

84
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: stayed and he's reaping the benefits of that. The last

85
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: time to enter the tournament out without a loss, that

86
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: was Kentucky back in twenty fifteen. That team had Carl

87
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Anthony Towns in Devin Booker. They didn't win the title,

88
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: lost to Frank Kaminski and the Badgers in the final four.

89
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: The year before it was Fred van Vleet in Wichita State.

90
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: They came in undefeated, they fell to Kentucky. Before that,

91
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: you have to go back to the nineteen ninety one

92
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: UNLV team who famously lost to Duke. But Gonzaga doesn't

93
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: seem burdened by history. That's a confident team. They look

94
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 1: poised to chase perfection next week in Indianapolis. And if

95
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: you're wondering about the matchups on Saturday, it'll be Houston

96
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and Baylor, the battle for Texas. That's at five Eastern

97
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: Ucla and the Zags at eight thirty on Saturday. Houston

98
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: has only beaten double digit seeds in the tournament. They

99
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: haven't faced a team that is a single seeded team

100
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: yet they will now with number one Baylor that we'll

101
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: look at those matchups coming up. Mcleve and you got

102
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,559
Speaker 1: a pull question for me. Yeah, this is a super

103
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: mean but how do you feel about this final four? Meh,

104
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: I guess Gonzaga's interesting or nah, honestly, is anybody excited

105
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: about this group? I'm sorry, I just have to say it. Houston, Baylor,

106
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: Gonzaga and the ghost of UCLA. It compared to what

107
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: we had last year, which was nothing like that, we

108
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: should be grateful, thankful. It's like, you know, when we

109
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: had the NBA in the bubble and people say, oh,

110
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: there's no fans, it's not the same and I said, well,

111
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: it's either you can have some basketball or not have basketball.

112
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, Lebron in the bubble that was awesome. This

113
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: is Baylor Houston. When you're hungry, do you go? I

114
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know if I want to eat there. If there's

115
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: only one restaurant, you go, I don't know. I think

116
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: i'd rather be hungry. This is this is history here.

117
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh you may go, oh, I don't care about these

118
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 1: teams are they're not exciting teams. I do. But if

119
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: Gonzaga has a chance to go undefeated, or you get

120
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: a surprise, or if Baylor knocks them off, if Ucla

121
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: continue this crazy madness, goes to the finals, I mean,

122
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of this. The storylines, how it's so

123
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: improbable that Ucla, Ucla has the play and game. So

124
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: you go from the first four to the final four.

125
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: That's never happened. Michigan had a great storyline with Jowan Howard.

126
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: But you know, that's that's what we love about this.

127
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: There's storylines that you would never think could emerge here,

128
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: and they do. And then you fall in love with

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: that storyline and maybe it's it's you know, you flirt

130
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: with it. It's it's a oh I love that storyline

131
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: and at last two weeks and then you move on

132
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: or it dies. But you know, with Gunzaga, this has

133
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: been start to finish. Now nobody's surprised how great Gunzaga.

134
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be surprised how great Gunzaga is. Baylor. I

135
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: think if Baylor does go to the title game. Baylor

136
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: might surprise some people just how good they are, but

137
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Gonzaga has been on display, been talked about and right rightfully,

138
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: so they are worthy of whatever praise they get. Now

139
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: you're going to have people who are going to say, well,

140
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 1: how would they have faired against this team, that team

141
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: that won a national title, the Indiana team? You know, Okay,

142
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: I understand all of those things. We make these arguments,

143
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: but that's what's fun about this. You can make your case.

144
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: You know, how would they fare against a junior or

145
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: senior laden Indiana team in the mid seventies. I have

146
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: no idea. We can discuss. Would they have beaten Kareem

147
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: abdul Jabbar in UCLA? We can discuss. I just enjoy

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: what I see. This is really good basketball. It, yes,

149
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: mclem this is objectively not good basketball. Gonzaga is really

150
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: good basketball, right they are? Yes. The other teams are

151
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: defense teams. I mean USLA. Michigan was objectively, by any measurement,

152
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: not well played. No, no, it was not. No. And

153
00:08:56,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: Michigan crumbled there in the last two minutes, the last

154
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. Why they're jacking up threes when you need

155
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: a two, get to the hoop. You need one get

156
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: to the hoop. They didn't. Yeah, pulling that was a

157
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: tough part at the end of the Michigan game. They

158
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: needed one and they didn't take it to the hole.

159
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: And the other I think they're in the bonus. You know,

160
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: that's gotta be frustrating. What did you guys like the

161
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: style of men's basketball in college or pro better? I

162
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: like college seems more old school. They shoot a lot

163
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: of threes, but it's not exclusively threes. I think the

164
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: style is way better in college. Well, you have different styles,

165
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: it feels like in college. By the way, Fritzie just

166
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: corrected me. UCLA the second team ever to go from

167
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: first foward to the final four. VCU was shot as

168
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: smart back in twenty eleven. Thank you Todd for keeping

169
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: me straight there. What else do we have? McLeman? Okay,

170
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: Pro Day question again, I'm gonna go snarky. The most

171
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: overrated NFL thing the preseason, the Combine, Pro Days or

172
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Well, I don't think the Pro Bowl

173
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 1: is rated right. Nobody likes it. Right, You've probably surprised

174
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 1: people if you said they're still doing it, So I

175
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: can't say it's overrated, it's not rated. Oh wait, that's

176
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: a good question. Are they still doing it? I know

177
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: they're seventeen games, but I didn't hear about the fate

178
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl. Remember, for the last ten years,

179
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: we were supposed to invest in player safety, like it

180
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: was up to us that we were supposed to care

181
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: as fans and members of the media, Player's Safety CTE.

182
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: All of those things that we did care about, we

183
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: do care about, We were interested, and then all of

184
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: a sudden, the great elixir money. Yeah, so I don't

185
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: want to hear about player's safety anymore. If you don't care,

186
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: they don't care, then why are we supposed to care.

187
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: Everybody agreed on seventeen everybody got more money, right, So

188
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: don't tell me about player's safety. Hopefully you improve the helmets,

189
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: but you're allowed to do with your helmet. But but

190
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: but don't say it's your priority. Player's safety is not

191
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: your priority. It's about making money. It's always about making money. Yes,

192
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: time one less preseason games, so they care a little

193
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: bit about Oh that's true, now it's all equal, yes, yes,

194
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: even the starter is barely playing the preseason now. Anyway,

195
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: I felt like that was a false narrative by the NFL.

196
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: It is true, but they you know, we're gonna get

197
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: to eighteen regular season games at some point, but nobody

198
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,320
Speaker 1: complained about seventeen. I think Alvin Kamara did. That's about it.

199
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: He's got to play sixteen games first. But okay, we

200
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: got seventeen games, and everybody's like, yeah, great, Like all

201
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: we want is football. We don't invest in you as

202
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: a person. You're just you know, it's it's all transferable.

203
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: Like that guy's out, now, this guy comes in, that

204
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: guy's this guy comes in, next guy. That's how it works.

205
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: Nobody's sitting here going gosh, I hope Jim McMahon's doing

206
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: well today. Nobody's doing that. These other players, why they

207
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: didn't go, hey, you know what, don't we have sixteen?

208
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: Why don't we go to fifteen? Why don't we go

209
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: to fourteen? That would make it safer? Right, you know,

210
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: this is apples and oranges, But NASCAR didn't have cars

211
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: slow down. NASCAR has softer walls in a hun's device.

212
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: They don't want to go one thirty. They you know,

213
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: they want you to be going at two hundred miles

214
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: an hour. So do they make it safer yeah, but

215
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: they still want you going really really fast. But the

216
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: NFL with seventeen games, all right, go ahead, full speed ahead,

217
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: more fantasy, more gambling, yeah, more money. Yeah. See, feels

218
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: like we're entering the load management era of NFL with

219
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: all these all these games. I'm gonna sit this Week

220
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: nine out and give myself a breaking Yeah. I'm wondering

221
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 1: about that if there is load management, yeah mcleven. Yeah,

222
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask if you were worried about the

223
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: quality of play by by week seventeen or eighteen. Well,

224
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: I was always worried about what that week seventeen, that

225
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: seventeenth game meant. What are the matchups there? And as

226
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: long as you're able to keep our interest, because sometimes

227
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: you have a team that's wins its division by you know,

228
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: three games, and then they end their season with a

229
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: game against the Jets, and then you go, okay that

230
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter, and you might have a couple of

231
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: those games weeks sixteen and seventeen. Plus the Cowboys can't

232
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: go eight and eight. Yeah, it's just it's not eight,

233
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: eight and one. They could, yes time by adding playoff

234
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: spots at least that maybe decreases it a little bit,

235
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: there's still a chance that some games could be totally meaningless.

236
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: But maybe it's somewhat less by week seventeen. Yeah, but

237
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: then you're adding more than the regular season doesn't mean

238
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: as much. I mean, these are all the arguing insight here.

239
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: Like college football, the regular season doesn't mean anything, you

240
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: know if you put in eight teams or sixteen teams. Okay,

241
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: but that's where we're headed. Remember gambling, gambling, the big evil. Oh,

242
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: we don't even talk about gambling. Don't even talk about

243
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: the odds. Okay, Now does that matter? All out? The

244
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: open is everybody realized, as I said, for many years,

245
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: when they figure out how they all make their money,

246
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have this. How do we make a right?

247
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: How much we met? Oh like gamble? Yes, okay, ten

248
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: years Like what happened ten years ago? You were philosophically

249
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: against gambling, Like what happened exactly? Yeah? Well players safety,

250
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: what happened? Like that's what it is? All right? What

251
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: else do you have? Mclove And then we'll take a

252
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: break here and we'll te about the pro days with

253
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: Mac Jones and Justin Fields. I said it. I firmly

254
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: believe it because I was told by a source, and

255
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: I've said it the last couple of weeks. Teams are

256
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: overthinking Justin Fields. This is prior to the Pro Day because,

257
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: as my source said, he did everything you want him

258
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: to do. Did he have bad games? Yes? Did he

259
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 1: come back and have a great game against Clemson? Did

260
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: he play hurt? Did he have six touchdown pass like?

261
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: We already know what he can do. But because he

262
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: ran a four four forty and he was throwing passes

263
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: to guys who were, you know, not covered by anybody,

264
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I stall this in a New

265
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: York New York paper, should the Jets be reconsidering Zach

266
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: Wilson at number two? I went, did you watch Justin

267
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 1: Fields play at all? When guys were actually trying to

268
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: tackle him? When the guys play defense. I think Justin

269
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Fields was around too long. I think it hurts that

270
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: he went to Ohio State and there's a track record,

271
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: a recent track record with their quarterbacks not being as

272
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: good as advertised. But I didn't see anything yesterday that

273
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: changed my opinion of Justin Fields. I think he's an

274
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: incredible as incredible potential here to be a starting quarterback

275
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: and a good starting quarterback. Do I think he'll be great?

276
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But if you look at Trey

277
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: Lance and we don't know as much about Trey Lance,

278
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: and you have teams probably saying they put him up

279
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: there higher like mac Jones overthrew a couple of guys yesterday.

280
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: So now he's not what the Niners want. What did

281
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: he do in games? That's what I want to know, Yes, mclovin.

282
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: So what does a four forty mean? And by the way,

283
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: he's fast? Okay? Can we stop with the pro day forties?

284
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: Everybody said records of these pro days. Come on, we

285
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: know a tenth of a second I translate four four

286
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: to four to five four to combine. I'm sorry, I

287
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: just don't believe these are all right, That's fine, you

288
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: can do that. He's four to four makes him like,

289
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: you know, that's like the fastiest receiver in the NFL,

290
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: and he weighs two hundred twenty pounds. It goes back

291
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: to what we say every time with the combine or

292
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: a pro day. Don't read too much into it. That's all.

293
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Just hopefully you look at the tape. What's on that tape?

294
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: You talk to people? What kind of student of the

295
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: game is he does he hang out with the wrong people, Like,

296
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: there's you do your due diligence here, it's all you

297
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: overthink it or you underthink it. Yeah, if you're mac Jones,

298
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,479
Speaker 1: you refuse to do the forty. Just say the only

299
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: forty running is when I run down and congratulate my

300
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 1: wide receiver and a long touchdown path time that all

301
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he didn't look good yesterday, don't you

302
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: see Belichick? He was shaking his head. Oh my god.

303
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: But I don't know what that meant. I don't know

304
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, what the Patriots aren't getting

305
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: mac Jones? Are they not? Mac Jones going to the

306
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: nine ers? Now he's not. What did Kyle Shanahan think

307
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: he overthrew that wide open wind receiver? There? You asked

308
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: me club. I've heard a lot of why did the

309
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: Niners trade up to number three from mac Jones when

310
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: they could have traded up to some other number. I

311
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard that, Like, like people are like, well,

312
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: did you really have to go to three to get

313
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: mac Jones? That's a big question out there. If it's

314
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: mac Jones, it gets weird. It seems so obvious, and

315
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: maybe they take Mac Jones. Now, I my intel says

316
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: that Trey Lance is the you know, the player that

317
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: interests them. But I, you know, that's one person telling me,

318
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: so I don't know. It didn't feel like Mac. You

319
00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: had to go all the way up to her to

320
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: get Mac Jones. I agree, But as I told you,

321
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: it was my last week, and I said, hey, this

322
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: is what I'm getting told they people love capital letters,

323
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: love Mac Jones moving up, and I went okay, And

324
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: then we realized San Francisco needed to move up to

325
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: get whoever their quarterback is. Maybe that is Mac Jones,

326
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 1: you ansked me club, Yeah, like a few years ago,

327
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: at the end of March, we never would have thought

328
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: that you would have to move up to one to

329
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: get Baker Mayfield. Like it feels like that. I remember, like, yeah,

330
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: guys fly up at the end. Yes, because nobody is

331
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: going to tell you the truth. Hey, there's no reason

332
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: to tell you the truth. There's a lot of reasons

333
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: to lie to you. And that's what happens here. All right,

Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Draft contributor post Matt Miller need the chop up?

387

Speaker 1: several shows, including Get Up NFL Live, and he joins

389
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: us on the program. All right, Matt, So we're not

390
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: supposed to read too much into these pro days, but

391
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: everybody's reading into these pro days. You want to start

392
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: with Mac Jones and his disappointing pro Day or Justin

393
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: Fields with his unbelievable Pro Day. Yeah, Dan, I've been

394
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: doing this long enough to know that these things really

395
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: don't matter. They just give us something to talk about

396
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: in the month of March. You know, it's like there's

397
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: a little bit of tournament is starting to die down.

398
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Let's talk about pro days. Let's get excited about guys

399
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: throwing in shorts or running forties when that doesn't really matter,

400
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: Like you said, so, I don't know that I want

401
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: to put too much into Mac Jones overthrowing a couple

402
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 1: of passes and Bill Belichick shaking his head or Kyle

403
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: Shanahan looking bored, as opposed to justin Fields and who

404
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: was there, who wasn't there. I would hope that in

405
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: a time where we should be better at evaluating quarterbacks

406
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: than we've ever been before, we would go back to

407
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 1: who was actually good from Labor Day to New Year's Day,

408
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: And to me, that was justin Fields. And he's done

409
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: it for two years, never losing a game in the

410
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,239
Speaker 1: Big Ten. Zach Wilson suppressive. I was at the Pro

411
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: day Friday. He is impressive, Probably the most fun quarterback

412
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: prospect to watch this year. But he did it in

413
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: the Mountain West in a week schedule. And if you

414
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: go back to twenty nineteen, eleven touchdowns to nine interceptions

415
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: when he actually had to play someone from the Pac twelve,

416
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: which is like the fifth best football conference. So I'm

417
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: not all in on the Pro days mattering not much.

418
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully it just reminds people who these players actually are.

419
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: What are your quarterback rankings right now? Yeah, well, Trevor

420
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Lawrence's one. I'm not dumb enough to argue against that.

421
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 1: I have justin fields number two, which is funny because

422
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: these two have been competing for that top spot since

423
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: there were sophomores in high school. Then I would say

424
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: that Zach Wilson and Trey Lance are very comparable in

425
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 1: terms of there's a lot of wow factor there, but

426
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 1: there's a lot of boom or bus potential because we

427
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen them do this against decent competition, even in

428
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: a small sample sizes. With Trey Lance, then I have

429
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: Mac Jones fifth. I know he's the fellow of the

430
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: ball right now, and we got the Tom Brady comparisons

431
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: out there. That's wild to me that we're going to

432
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: do that for a guy who's played seventeen games at Alabama,

433
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: He's never not thrown to a first rounder at wide receiver.

434
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: He's got an all world offensive line up front of

435
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm a first round running back and an offensive coordinator

436
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: good enough to get the Texas head coaching job. So

437
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: it's just hard to look at that and not feel

438
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: a little Mitch Traubisky ish one year and we're blown

439
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: away by the football IQ on the upside and we

440
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: forget to actually watch what these guys can do at

441
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the position. Okay, do you think the Niners moved up

442
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: to get mac Jones? Absolutely? I do, which as a

443
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: as a lifelong Niners fan, that's such a punch to

444
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: the stomach. And I'm trying to trust John Lynch and

445
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Kale Shanahan. But I remember when they said they didn't

446
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: need a quarterback and they passed on Patrick Mahomes and

447
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson only to pick up CJ. Beth in the

448
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: third round. So I'm still a little gun shy about

449
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: trusting this front office. And this just feels like something

450
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,360
Speaker 1: they would do. They would overthink it again, just like

451
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: trading back to get Solomon Thomas or drafting Ruben Foster

452
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: in the first round. It it feels like this front

453
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: office is a little too cute sometimes. But Matt did

454
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: the Niners half to do this to get mac Jones.

455
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: They didn't have to go to three, Dan, I don't

456
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: think they did. Now, maybe to seven, maybe to six,

457
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: which we saw that pick get traded already, But I

458
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,639
Speaker 1: don't think you needed to go from twelve to three

459
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: to get mac Jones. I don't think the Atlanta Falcons

460
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: with Arthur Smith is going to look at mac Jones

461
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: and be like, coming from Ryan Tannehill, that's the quarterback

462
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: I want. I feel like the Falcons would be all

463
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: in on Justin Fields, who's a local kid, Trey Lance,

464
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: who has great athleticism. There's a beautiful deep ball if

465
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: they even go quarterback. The Bengals are drafting a quarterback

466
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: at five. The Eagles weren't going to at six, so

467
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 1: the Niners had other options. So my hope and prayer

468
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: as someone who's still a little bit of a forty

469
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: nine erspan, is that that is a move for Justin Fields.

470
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: And I would say that even as an unbiased evaluator.

471
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan, I understand loves Matt Ryan and Kirk Cousins. Luka,

472
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: who's beat you, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Russell Wilson. What

473
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: are they all have in common? And it's mobility. Not

474
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: that mac Jones is a statue back there, but you

475
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: want plus level mobility. Justin Fields a four four, two

476
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: thirty pounds and has a great arm. I don't understand

477
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: why they would ever think this, But sometimes we see

478
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: too much of you know, one of these draft prospects,

479
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: Matt and you know DeShawn Watson, the player, we saw

480
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: too much of him and it felt like we we

481
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: love the guy that we don't see, like Daniel Jones,

482
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: Mitchell Chubisky. We love the mystery here instead of what's

483
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 1: right in front of us. Well that I call it

484
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: prospect fatigue. I can remember an NFL general manager telling

485
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: me Nick Vos is not that good. I was like,

486
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: you're insane, man, It's just you're just looking at the

487
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 1: fact that we've seen him play for three years. Nick

488
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: Voss were the best pass rushing prospects ever. But we

489
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: get to this point of the cycle where we're all

490
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: a little bored. We all want that tweet that's gonna

491
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: get a lot of clicks. We all want to, you know,

492
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: hit the scroll on the bottom of the screen with

493
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: our takes instead of I wish there was this moment

494
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: where we could just catch our breaths and say, okay,

495
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: where were we December thirty first? On these guys and

496
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: unless something happened in terms of injury or off field,

497
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: or they show up to their pro day and just

498
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 1: their twenty pounds overweight and can't run. Let's go back

499
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: to where we were December thirty first, who was actually

500
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: good at playing football? But you're right, we want the

501
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray who you know, the one year guy. We

502
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: want Mitchell Trubisky instead of Deshaun Watson. Beat Alabama single

503
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 1: handedly Patrick Mahomes on a very bad Texas Tech team,

504
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: made them competitive in the Big twelve. Those are the

505
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: things and why I look at Justin Fields of We've

506
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: seen you do it for three years and even this

507
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: year he threw six picks. Some of that was, you know,

508
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: his offensive line wasn't very guest. Some of it was

509
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,239
Speaker 1: on him. Go back last year he didn't throw a pick,

510
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: I don't believe until the end of the season. So

511
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: it's not that he's this turnover laden quarterback. He was

512
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: a very conservative passer. It does feel like the collective

513
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: draft media this year has decided Justin Fields as the

514
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: guy they're going to be down on. He's Matt Miller,

515
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: ESPN NFL Draft Contributor. What happens now leading up to

516
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: the draft that may change what happens with the draft order.

517
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: You know, I think the biggest thing would be like

518
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned Deshaun Watson is off the table right now

519
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: that there's not going to be a trade there. I

520
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: think that Sam Darnald being moved what could affect the

521
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: draft order. But it feels like we're locked in, which

522
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: I know the bosses don't like, right because there's no

523
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: drama and injuring Trevor Lawrence is gonna go first, Dack

524
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna go second. It feels like mac Jones goes third.

525
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: And then you're on the clock at four, so it's

526
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: you're an hour into the draft before you're even like, oh,

527
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: I wonder what the Falcons will do. And so unless

528
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 1: Atlanta trades out of that spot, there might be a

529
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: little intrigue there. But you know, Sam Darnald being trade

530
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 1: could trade could provide some clarity. It feels like the

531
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson stuff, unless he comes back on your show

532
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: and talks again and you know, gets some stuff back

533
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 1: on the trade market. It feels like those types of

534
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: things have died down where we're really starting to settle

535
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: into knowing what teams want. Even you know, the rumors

536
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: that Joe Burrow is really advocating for Jamar Chase's former

537
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: teammate there pro Day is today at LSU. You know

538
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: even that you're starting to say, okay, like picks one

539
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: through five, you would feel pretty good about your mock

540
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: draft right now. The best player in this draft or

541
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: best players give me three regardless of his Yeah, it's

542
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. He is the best player in this draft.

543
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: And I love that we've just stopped talking about him

544
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: because it's accepted he's gonna go first. He's great, Let's

545
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: move on. I think Jamar Chase is second again the

546
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: LSU pridays today. We haven't seen him play football on

547
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: a year which I think some people looked at the

548
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy pounds DeVante Smith and started saying

549
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: that he was somehow better than Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase

550
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: is forty pounds heavier, he's gonna run faster in the

551
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: forty and he had twenty touchdowns as a sophomore. With

552
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Third, I would go Kyle Pitts, and I

553
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: don't even want to put a position on Kyle Pitts.

554
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 1: He's an offensive weapon. It's just a pass catcher. At Florida.

555
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: There protais today as well. I think he's gonna run

556
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: in the four mid four four range. At six foot five,

557
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty five pounds, he was unstoppable last

558
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 1: year at Florida. He and Kyle Trask had a beautiful

559
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: connection and the ability to high point in the red

560
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: zone to win over the top reminds me of Mike Evans.

561
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not even comparing this guy to a

562
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: tight end. He's just someone who in the red zone

563
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: could be a huge difference maker. If I had last

564
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: year's quarter acts in with this year's quarterbacks, who would

565
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: be the number one overall pick? It would be closer

566
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: than I think a lot of people realize. But I

567
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: do think it would be Trevor Lawrence, just because the

568
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 1: three years that we've seen, you know, take it over

569
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: the job from Kelly Bryant as a freshman. We've seen

570
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: it sustained for a while with Joe Burrow. There was

571
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 1: even people last year like, maybe Tuah is the best quarterback,

572
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: maybe justin Herbert is, because with Joe it was the

573
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: one year wonder. You know that Joe Brady gets there,

574
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: everything becomes perfect and he has the best quarterback season

575
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: I've ever seen in college football. But I do think

576
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence would be one, Burrow would be two. I think

577
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: they're the conversation. It's interesting. The injury to Tuah would

578
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: probably put Zach Wilson ahead of him, might even put

579
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: Justin Fields ahead of him, and then we would probably

580
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: see Tuah and Justin Herbert, who was overthought a lot,

581
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: like I think Justin Fields is being overthought. But it's crazy.

582
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: The league feels like it's changed in the last just

583
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: year where mobility is so much more valued now than

584
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: it was even in March of twenty twenty. Yeah, but

585
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: drop back quarterbacks have been winning Super Bowls. Well, that's

586
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: just Tom Brady, right right, obviously, like Tom Brady's been

587
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: winning Super Bowls. You know, otherwise it's it's Mahomes, it's Rogers,

588
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: it's Wilson. So you know, we have to you almost

589
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: have to mobility. Mobility is you know, it's kind of

590
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 1: in the eye of the beholder because I like mobility,

591
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't need to have somebody

592
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: who is I need you sliding in the pocket, I

593
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: need you getting outside the pocket. Uh. You know Mahomes

594
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: wasn't isn't a fast guy his forties mobility not a runner. Yeah,

595
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: it's being able to move to throw, not move to run.

596
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that, and I do think that

597
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: to some degree that might hurt Justin Fields and Trey

598
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: Lance is that they were asked to run a decent amount.

599
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: Especially Justin Fields was at Georgia as a true freshman.

600
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: Jake Frown was the quarterback, and he would come in

601
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: and run QB power, And so I think that that

602
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: is affecting their stock a little bit. Where Zach Wilson

603
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: moves to throw, Mac Jones moves to throw, even though

604
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: I think a hundred dropbacks was all he was pressured

605
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: in his seventeen starts. So there's not a big sample

606
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: size of that. But it's not his fault that Alabama

607
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: has first rounders in every position on the offensive line.

608
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: Have you ever loved a quarterback and he didn't pan out?

609
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 1: When's the last time that happened? Yeah, that happens all

610
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: the time in this job. I loved Teddy Bridgewater. I

611
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 1: watching Teddy at Louisville was like, this is this is it? This?

612
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: He's accurate, he's smart, tough, and just let him, you know,

613
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: let him work off reads on guys. That's not a

614
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: bad one though. Matt because I loved him too, but

615
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, without that injury, you know, I really and

616
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: I liked the character of Teddy Bridgewater too, same and

617
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: he didn't have a good pro day, but I just said,

618
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: you know, put on the tape when he played Miami,

619
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: he gets hit right in the mouth, you know exactly.

620
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know with these quarterbacks. What

621
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: do you do when there's adversity. That's a huge part,

622
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: that's huge. That's one of my big keys into my

623
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: scattering reports is adversity. And it's like Justin Fields gets

624
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: rocked by Clemson, I would still be laying on the

625
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: field crying at that. Zach Wilson, even there's some adversity there.

626
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: He had two injury in college. They told him before

627
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: the year is an open job. This job might not

628
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: be yours next year. So I think you can look

629
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: at those things and you want some adversity. But then again,

630
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 1: like Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck two of the greatest

631
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: quarterback prospects ever, arguably no adversity, So you have to,

632
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: like you have to almost look for it sometimes. Trevor

633
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Lawrence has been the number one pick probably since he

634
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: picked up a football as a sophomore in high school.

635
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: And you know there's some credit to that too, that

636
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 1: you've been in that spot license you were sixteen years

637
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: old and you've been a great leader. You've been a

638
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: great captain on your team. He's already engaged, he's supermature,

639
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: So there's something to be said for that too. Hypothetical.

640
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: If Peyton Manning coming out of college, Andrew Luck coming

641
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: out of college, and Trevor Lawrence coming out of college

642
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: and you got the first pick, I'm gonna give you

643
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: what you already know about Luck and Peyton and the

644
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: unknown with Trevor Lawrence, who would Matt Miller ESPN NFL

645
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: Draft Contributor toaken number one? Overall? I'm taking Payton Manning.

646
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 1: You can't go against pay even even in today's game.

647
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: He's just too smart, carves up the field and accuracy

648
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: at all levels. And I think Peyton was sneaky athletic

649
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: early in his career. Deceptively fast, I think that's that's

650
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: what we have to call it. But he could move

651
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,759
Speaker 1: around a little bit. It wasn't it wasn't quite as

652
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: bad as it wasn't at Jen for days. Okay, So

653
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I thought you might go Trevor Lawrence. You know recency

654
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 1: by trying to get this clipped out in five years

655
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: and people be like just getting it actually, thought Trevor Lawrence,

656
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. Well done, Matt, well done. Hey,

657
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: congrats on the job, and we'll be watching and thanks

660
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: I thought I could lead him to slaughter there. You know,

00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 1: Matt Miller's appearance. Now the stage users college basketball history, Dan,

690
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: if you could be a bench player like the tenth

691
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: man for a college basketball program Georgetown in the eighties,

692
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 1: the Patrick Ewing teams, the UNLV teams of the early nineties,

693
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: the Larry Johnson Tarcadian teams, Duke in the early nineties,

694
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: the Latener teams, or Michigan in the nineties, the Fab

695
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: five teams. You could be a bench player, role player

696
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 1: for one of those teams. Oh boys, there you want

697
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: to go last? Yeah. I don't know if there's a

698
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: wrong answer now, there's no from a entertainment standpoint. In

699
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: the lifestyle standpoint, UNLV in the nineties, getting like six

700
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: or seven minutes the game and a mop up against

701
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: like Santa Barbara, Yeah, and then having the unw lifestyle

702
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 1: the early nineties before social media. Sign me up all right,

703
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: Seaton Cheaper is the first one that came immediately popped

704
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: in my mind was that UNLV team. But something about

705
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: the Fab five, even though it didn't really work out

706
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: the way you wanted it to, that was that felt

707
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. That seems like a pretty special thing to

708
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: be a part of. I might go Fab five. It

709
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: just felt like a moment in history. Yeah, even though

710
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: Laterner and what U and LV did and what Ewing

711
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: did that was party history as well. There were just

712
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: something different about the Fab five that, you know, five

713
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: freshmen doing what they were doing, and you know they

714
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: were kind of tugging on, you know, the blue blood's

715
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: here with Duke, unless there'd be something funny about being

716
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: the random guy at the end of the bench, Like what,

717
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 1: you were part of the Fab five? Well, no, I

718
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: was on a team. I wasn't part of the five,

719
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: And like look, no, look at that's me. I'm sitting

720
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: right at the end of the bet. That's me. I swear, yeah,

721
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: the Fab fifteen, I'm one of the fact. That was me.

722
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: I swear yeah, yes, Tod. I initially thought Vegas, but

723
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Duke. But you know, even if

724
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: you're not playing much, coach k and you're either really

725
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:17,399
Speaker 1: loved or really hated and being part of the whole,

726
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: quality education crazy very important to you. Hill Hurly later,

727
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: that's that's fun. Yes, Seaton's going with history. Fritzie's going

728
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: with a quality education. I want to I want showgirls

729
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: and hot tubs, a crap table, some parlay cards. Yes

730
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: for Globe. All right, this is such a Paull poll.

731
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: It's like eighties George Town, nineties Michigan. Like, there's got

732
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: to be there's twenty three thirty years of college basketball history.

733
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: There's gotta be some teams in between that since we

734
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 1: all started to stop following college Actually no, once Michigan

735
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: after the Fab five, that's when college basketball went downhill?

736
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Is that why there are no teams that jump out?

737
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: I can't think of another one. Yeah, college basketball basically

738
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 1: went to a not a niche sport, but not a

739
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: focal points sport once the one and done started. Some

740
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:02,720
Speaker 1: phone calls here, let's see Tony in Ohio. Hi, Tony,

Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I'm I'm asking in it right now.

745
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: I need two more rabbits quote out of the hat. Yeah,

748
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: you guys, we're talking about give and take between the

749
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 1: media and some of your stories. That one of the

750
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: best you had was Craig Seger there on the last

751
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: dance when he asked the Christ question. I think it

752
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 1: was Ryan Stoff and somebody walked away and the rest

753
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: of them are standing there saying, way to go, Craig.

754
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 1: Hell but Sager wasn't afraid to ever ask a question.

755
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Then thanks for the phone called Tony. Good luck with

756
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: your bruins. Segar and Jim Gray not afraid to ask

757
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: a question. And there is something to be said when

758
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,959
Speaker 1: you walk into the fire and you asked the question.

759
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to ask the question, but you asked the question,

760
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: and Jim and Craig never shied away from the Phil

761
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: in Indiana High Phil, what's on your mind today? Hey? Dan?

762
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: Always a pleasure. I tell you what, Buddy Mclovin's got

763
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: me fired up. How he can say that this is

764
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: not a good final four. You've got the best offensive

765
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: team in Gonzaga, the best defensive team in Houston, the

766
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: UCLA reincarnation, and then you've got Baylor as probably the

767
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: most athletic. I want to apologize to mclovin that it's

768
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: not Kentucky Carolina Duke in Kansas. I mean, this is

769
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: a great final four. And while he's watching the Flyers Capitals, Dan,

770
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: I'll be watching the final four. How good we Fuddy? Whoa?

771
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: And Phil doesn't get upset mclovin. Look what you did

772
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 1: to Phil. This is a great final four. If it's

773
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: the NI T but this is the NCAA tournament Jeff

774
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: and Detroit. Hey, Jeff, what do you have for me today? What?

775
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: No one time for chat row seatant job on that

776
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: player today? Brother? Mumble mumble mumble, not really, But anyway, guys, listen,

777
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: my Michigan Wolverines going down. The one guy could not

778
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 1: be stopped. It feels like you were supposed to be

779
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: doing the waltson. One of my guys just started breaking

780
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: out and the cabbige patch and lost the dance and

781
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: all we needed was too All we needed was too man.

782
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: And as far as your pole question, one of the

783
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: greatest experiences that I've ever experienced as a youngster was

784
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: being around that Bath five team. They were rock star

785
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: if you didn't have a pair of blacker rochis or

786
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: some long shorts. I'm telling you they changed the game

787
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 1: for real back then. It was true, it really was.

788
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: Thanks God, all right, thank you, Jeff. Sorry about your Wolverines.

789
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 1: I you know the Georgetown era too, That's when you

790
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: were either with them or against them. You and LV

791
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: you were fascinated buying. I think people felt threatened a

792
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: little bit by Georgetown with John Thompson, with Patrick Ewing.

793
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: It felt like Hoya paranoia. I remember being able to

794
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,959
Speaker 1: cover those teams at the Garden when the Big East

795
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: would play at the Garden, and that's as good a

796
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: basketball as I've ever been around. When you had Saint John's,

797
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: you had Syracuse, you had Villanova, you had Georgetown. It's

798
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,280
Speaker 1: just wonderful basketball. And it felt like every game meant something.

799
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: And then I'd go to the Big East Tournament and

800
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: you'd go there in the afternoon and stay all day

801
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 1: and all night, and you got to see Hall of

802
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,479
Speaker 1: Fame coaches, hall of Fame players. It's as good a time,

803
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: as good of an event that I've ever covered in

804
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: my life. Yes, McLean, Yeah, me and my friends had

805
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: to watch Big Monday on ESPN and it was a

806
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: Wednesday too, or the Big East Night was everything for us.

807
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: We loved it. Well, we had it was Big Monday

808
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: where we had the Big East, and then I think

809
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: we had the Big Twelve, and then it led into

810
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: Sports Center gladed to you right, Yeah, and really that

811
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 1: changed I think a lot. You know, having when you

812
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: have a show, it's always great to have something that

813
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: leads into you a lot of great shows. You know,

814
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: capitalize on what's in front of them, and we had

815
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 1: a game that would lead into us and then we

816
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: would come on the air as soon as that game

817
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: was over. And having that was really a big advantage

818
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: over when Fox tried to come after us on Sports Center.

819
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: They just didn't have the inventory that we had with

820
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: college basketball, and college basketball was really a difference maker

821
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: for the popularity of Sports Center. Coming up next hour,

822
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,840

823
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: what's going on with Deshaun Watson and it sounds like

824
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: the Texans are now open to trading him, and UCLA

825
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,560
