The great Jerry 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.440 West birthday boy eighty two years of age, still looks great. 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.680 Lakers Hall of Famer joint is coming up a little 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.560 bit later on Albert Breer from the Monday Morning Quarterback 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:39.239 we'll join us. We'll talk about the NFL tabling the 0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.159 Sky Judge. Man. I was excited just to hear Joe 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.839 Bucks say, and let's go to this sky Judge have 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.680 a business card that says, I'm sorry, what do you 0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:53.279 do for a living? Sky Judge? Albert Breer will join us. 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:55.880 I think what they're going to do is the replay 0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.280 official is going to have his job expanded a little 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.520 bit and he will be the quote unquote Sky Judge. 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:05.440 But we'll talk about that. Also, Jadeveon Clowney is still 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.040 out there on the outside looking in. The Browns gave 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.280 him a big offer. Titans are also on play and 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.240 the Seattle Seahawks, So we'll talk to him about some 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.560 of the movers and shakers here with the NFL eight 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:19.920 seven seven three D P show email address DP at 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:24.160 dan Patrick dot com. Baseball players say no paycuts. Max 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:29.360 Scherzer came out and pretty demons demonstratively said no, we're 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.560 not going to do it here. Once again, it feels 0:01:32.600 --> 0:01:35.959 like the owners want to have this disruption with the 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:38.680 players because you have the haves and the have nots, 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:43.319 and this is going to create an uncomfortable discourse for 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.319 everybody in baseball. You know, the owners might just look 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.960 at this and say, hey, we're not going to pay 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:50.040 you all that money because we're not going to get 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:52.200 our money back, or we're going to open the books here. 0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.080 This is about negotiations, and it seems fruitless to talk 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.720 about it every single day. Other than what I have said, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.640 it feels like every day is everybody needs to shut up, 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.360 keep things in house, and try to figure it out. 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.760 Because if you're going to do this, where you're going 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.880 to ask the paying audience, your fans, to say, hey, 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.400 why don't you guys just sign They're probably not going 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.799 to side with the players here, and that doesn't mean 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.120 that the players are guilty, you know. I think that 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:22.000 they're asking for something and they want to know exactly 0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.120 what are the owners making here. Why don't you open 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.040 your books? Why don't you let us see what you 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.960 have and then understand what is at stake for you? 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.400 We know what our salaries are. You print our salaries 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.640 their public knowledge. But Max Scherzer is among eight players 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:43.800 on Baseball's executive subcommittee, which means he's probably a mouthpiece 0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:48.079 for Scott Boris, his agent, and which I understand Scott 0:02:48.080 --> 0:02:50.040 Boris is trying to get the most for his clients 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:53.240 because his clients make the most money. But Scherzer said 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.360 that after discussing the latest developments with the rest of 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.799 the players, there's no need to engage with MLB in 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:03.280 any further compancy reductions. We have previously negotiated a pay 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.560 cut in the version of a pro rated salary. No 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:09.840 justification to accept a second pay cut based upon current 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:13.880 information the union has received. All right, this doesn't matter 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.359 to us on a day to day basis certainly doesn't 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.920 matter to us right now. We don't care about this. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.800 Once the season starts, all you want to do is 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:26.160 have baseball. Nobody's feeling bad for a billionaire, and you're 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.000 probably not feeling bad for Max Scherzer or some of 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:31.320 these other guys who make more than twenty million dollars 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:35.280 a year. But we can understand what they're giving up 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.720 to come back, and the players are the ones taking 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:43.640 the risk to come back, not these owners. So I 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.080 see both sides, and I hate to go right down 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.000 the middle on this, but I've been involved in these things, 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:54.200 covering negotiations before, I've covered lockouts, I've covered strikes. I 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.960 know how this works. You put out information you want 0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:02.360 put out, and on it disseminated, and then you hopefully 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:06.520 get public sentiment on your side. And that it feels 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:11.280 like the owner's Major League Baseball. They've leaked every possible 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:16.520 document possibly, that's every possible document possibly, and now you 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:18.280 have the players saying, well, wait a minute, now, we 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.600 got to strike back here, and you know, it's just uncomfortable. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.440 It's a bad look for baseball. You got the NBA 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:28.400 trying to figure it out inside in house NHL inside 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:33.000 in house, Major League Baseball. Open the windows, open the doors, everybody, 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.360 come on in. See what we got here. It's a 0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:38.000 bad look, and they got to get this under one 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.239 roof here. Figure it out what makes the most sense, 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:44.680 because we as fans don't want to hear anything about this. 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.359 We don't. I couldn't care less. I want them to 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.240 play baseball. Figure it out. If you don't make your 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.719 money now, make it up later. If you're an owner, 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:56.880 make it up later. If you're a player, make it 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.919 up later. But we don't want to hear about it. 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.640 Just play. Figure it out. Get back. There's other things 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:07.919 to worry about. I did see this. There is a 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.160 sixty seven page draft of Major League Baseball's proposed twenty 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.040 twenty Operational Manual that was sent to teams on Friday, 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:20.040 and of course it was leaked. The guidelines, first reported 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.760 by The Athletic were a subject to negotiations with the 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.719 Players Association. Teams are going to have fifty players each 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.800 under the plan, and the number of active for each 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.880 game is still being negotiated, so you have a pool 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:38.520 of fifty players. Spitting is prohibited, along with water jugs 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.320 and the use of saunas, steam rooms, pools, cryotherapy chambers, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:47.960 Hitting indoor cages is discouraged. Batting gloves encouraged. Batting practice 0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:54.440 pitchers wear masks. Protocols, including testing for team staff. Seating 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.760 in the empty stands near the dugouts would be used 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:03.200 to maintain distance to diagrams in the manual. The next 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.240 day's starting pitcher can't sit in the dugout. Everybody must 0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:10.640 keep their distance during the Star Spangled Banner and God 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:16.600 Bless America. Fielders are encouraged to retreat several steps away 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.080 from the base runner between pitches first and third base. 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.120 Coaches are not to approach base runners or umpires, and 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:28.760 players should not socialize with opponents. I can't wait for 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:31.720 that first argument at home plate where the manager is 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:37.480 about six or seven feet away from the umpire guy, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.520 and then the umpires pointing back at him, and you're 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.880 I don't know what they're saying. They certainly look mad 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.200 at each other. Managers and coaches have to wear a 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.200 mask while in the dugouts. Entire traveling party, including players, 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:53.239 must wear personal protective equipment while on buses in flights. 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.560 Restaurants off limits on the road, including ones in the 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:01.640 hotels as our hotel fitness center. Get ready for some baseball. 0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:04.480 I got I have no idea what it's gonna look like, 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.839 but now I'm really interested to seeing. And then you 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.920 got guys saying, hey, I'm gonna spit. Um, you can't 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.760 stop me from spitting. Okay, there's far more important things 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.160 to worry about than you not being able to spit. Well, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:24.400 who's the Colorado Rocky that no, no, no, Charlie black Yeah, 0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:28.400 Charlie Blackman. He says he's gonna spit. Hey, Charlie, shut up. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:31.360 Just go ahead and spit. You don't have to tell 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:37.160 us you're gonna spit. Just worry about the other things 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:42.160 you don't get to spit. Oh my god, Hey, I'm spitting. Okay, 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:49.040 designated spitter. Just just get baseball back. Spit on your 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.680 uniform if you will. No, I mean, come on, spit 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.600 at home if you want to. We worry about the 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.800 dumbest damn things here. Just come back and play baseball. 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:02.560 That's it. You have to tell me that I'm sitting 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.200 all right, you're probably adjusting your cup two. Good for you. 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.480 What else are you doing? Come back and play baseball. 0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:13.239 That would be enough. Mclevit. You got a pull question 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.680 for me. Yeah, we got a few options. By way, 0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:18.640 baseball players are gross and have always been gross, and 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.440 that sport has more disgusting things going on. But uh okay, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:27.040 um NBA question. There's a story yesterday that the NBA 0:08:27.240 --> 0:08:29.920 is going to work to let families come to Orlando 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.800 for the Bubble Tournament or whatever it is. If you're 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.480 an NBA player, do you want your family there if 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.439 for say a two months season, Well you're gonna get 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:41.480 guys who have different reasons for that. But um, I 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:44.040 was gonna go from the competitive so you can focus 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.599 on the game. I'm gonna say no. I'm gonna say no. 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:54.360 I just there's just the more you add, the more chances, 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.920 and then let's reduce the number of chances of something 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.240 that could go wrong. You got one shot here, just 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.400 make it work. And not everybody's going to be there 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:08.440 two months. So if you have some of these Marquis guys, 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.880 if Lebron James wants to bring his immediate family there, 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.640 he's probably going to be there for the long haul. 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.600 Or if it's the Greek freak and I think he's 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.600 got a newborn baby, you want to do that. Now, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:22.160 I would not want a newborn baby in that environment there, 0:09:22.480 --> 0:09:24.760 But you know, it's going to be up to the individuals. 0:09:24.760 --> 0:09:28.040 But no, I would not want my family there unless 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:29.720 I thought I'm in there for the long haul of 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:32.760 two months. That's one thing. But some of these guys 0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.360 are not going to be there more than a month, yeah, poem. Yeah, 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:36.880 And if I'm Lebron's family, I don't know if I 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:39.880 want to the presidential suite at the resort in Orlando. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.800 I'm sure it's fantastic. It might be two thousand square feet, 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:46.480 but I've seen Lebron's house on social media it's like 0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:49.439 eighteen thousand square Yeah. Yeah, ton. But even if the 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:52.000 family's safety was guaranteed, which there's no way of doing that. 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.400 But just hypothetically, some of the players may not want 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:59.600 They're probably there anywhere. Yeah, you want to explain why. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.400 Explaining why because you just don't want to deal with 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:04.960 the family for a couple of months. It's not so 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.959 much a you know, distraction or anything. And I don't 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:08.800 think it's it would be a one hundred percent because 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.120 of worrying about the safety of the family. Sometimes there's 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.559 extracurricular reasons why you might want a two month to 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.040 break from the family and I'll just leave it there. Yeah, 0:10:16.120 --> 0:10:20.400 all right, did okay? Your family might want you to 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.600 go to Orlando and not go with sure, Yeah, they 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:24.960 would be like to make a four month you go 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.640 by yourself, Toddy, if you're not playing. Yeah, I've heard 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:31.160 it describe that the entire resort areas are all going 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:32.840 to be open to them. It does sound kind of 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.320 like heaven, you know, to bring your family down. I 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.200 haven't been to Disney World with my kids, but I 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:40.319 heard it that it's pretty spectacular what they're being offered. Yeah, 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:43.280 if it's everybody is there and nobody you know, there's 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:46.000 nobody from outside parties involved in it. But I just 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:47.880 want to read. If I'm the NBA, I want to 0:10:47.920 --> 0:10:52.120 reduce the number of people that I need. That's that's it. 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.760 You want to get the season done with that. That's 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.840 the most important part. Players get paid, owners make money, 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:00.920 and you get a championship here. You don't need to 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:06.200 appease everybody in this situation. And if you can ensure safety, great. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:09.720 I don't know if we can, but if we can, great. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.280 You can have everybody down there, but all it takes 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:16.240 you got one moment here, one team, one player, one star, 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.360 and then it crumbles.

Taste the wood fire difference by 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:42.600 contacting your local dealer, visiting Trigger Girls signs DP show today. 0:11:42.640 --> 0:11:44.559 What other poll questions do you have? Mclob I do 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:48.400 want to get into the Baker Mayfield topic yet? Or 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:51.440 save that one? You're gonna save that. Yeah, a lot 0:11:51.440 --> 0:11:53.880 of contract talk with Baker Mayfield. Okay, I have a 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.120 question for you if the Spurs, if they expand the 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.520 playoff field to twelve teams in each conference. Oh sorry, 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.199 they say twenty four deep like NHL, those twenty four 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:05.920 teams count as playoff teams. Well, what they're going to 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:10.720 do this is the proposal twenty teams eight in the East, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:13.960 twelve from the West. Because the twelve has some competitive 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.400 slots there where somebody might be able to Portland, New 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:20.440 Orleans might be able to get into the eight spots. 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.360 They want to be fair to them and the San 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:24.520 Antonio Spurs, So it would be a play in to 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:26.960 get into the field of sixteen. Is that however? I 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.080 believe so. But there's going to be twenty, but it's 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.760 not balanced from It's not ten and ten from the 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.400 East and West. It would be eight because I think 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.040 those spots are all secure in the East, whereas the 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.200 West there's still some opportunity there to move up and 0:12:40.200 --> 0:12:42.679 get into the postseason. So I guess you know, people 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.240 are like, oh, with this playoff streak for the San 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:49.360 Antonio Spurs continue, don't we have other things to worry about? 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.840 Then that doesn't count. So we're going to put an 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:56.480 asterisk by the San Antonio Spurs playoff streak? Is that 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.920 what we're saying? Mclovin, Yeah, so things to worry about 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.480 we're gonna get yay. They we didn't put an asterisk 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:04.520 by winning a title in nineteen ninety nine in a 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.240 strike shortened season, but we're gonna put an asterisk by 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.520 their playoff run. What'd be amazing if they had their 0:13:10.520 --> 0:13:13.480 playoffs cheek broken and won the NBA title. Yeah, they 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.880 were the title, but they didn't make the playoffs. Yeah yeah, 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.400 I think this would be astra squorthy because in the 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.199 in the normal format, they would have not made the 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.480 playoffs if the season ended. They're pretty far out of it, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:26.000 you know, they're like six games out. I don't care 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:28.040 is this an asterisk or not. It is this expanded 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:30.679 playoffs just to get three more games of Zion Williamson 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.480 on national TV, because that's what it feels like. Can 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:35.440 we get three more games out of Zion on national team? 0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.959 Well they want more than three, but who knows. You 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.000 would like to have him in the mix. You certainly would, ye. 0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:47.000 I can't remember. Why are the Blazers not good this year? 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.200 They were really good last year. I can't remember what 0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.319 the heck happened to them. I don't think that they 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.080 were healthy, Yeah, I'm sure, Like I don't remember who 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.920 was injured, who was hot. I don't remember anything we 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.040 were We used to talk about NBA all the time, 0:13:59.160 --> 0:14:02.120 and these teams are just going to pick up and 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.440 be the same teams. Well, you kind of forget who 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:09.160 was good and was somebody really good. Right before this happened, 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:14.200 you know, Utah Bugdanovich is out with he had a 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.920 risk surgery. He's had an unbelievable year. He's already out 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:19.920 for the year. You know, ain't coming back for the playoffs. 0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:23.680 So Utah, which I loved, was a dark coach to 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:25.360 start the year, and then all of a sudden, it's 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.200 like and then I got the Rudy Gobert situation here 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:31.480 to his teammates like him, how's that gonna be when 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.320 they all come back together. Who's gonna want to hang 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.760 out with a Rudy Gobert when we all come back? Yes? 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:39.560 MC love, And you're pretty sure Durant won't come back? 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:44.000 Is there anything Eddie updates? And Klay Thompson too. I 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:48.000 can't imagine it, you know, Klay Thompson, I can't imagine 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:51.200 him coming back. Durant. I guess there's the possibility, But 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.560 if you can't guarantee that Kyrie's coming back, then I 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:56.960 don't want Kevin Durant coming back. If we're making a 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:01.200 run in the East, If I have Durant and Kyrie 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:05.040 and they're healthy, Okay, I at least understand it. But 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:09.280 I just wouldn't want to push He's had ample time. 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.920 If you think about this, how many months that he's 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.760 been out, which had been twelve months, maybe longer than that, 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:19.920 or has it been quite twelve months. I'm trying to 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.800 remember when Durant got got hurt, so it was last 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.640 June when he blew it out. They say nine to twelve. 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.400 I believe for an Achilles, But I just I got 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.680 to look at this big picture here. If I'm the 0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:35.960 NETS and I just don't want to bring Durant back, 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.000 I know they can tell me, hey, doctor's cleared one 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:43.240 hundred percent. You're pushing him back. Yeah. See, Not to 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:45.680 get too far down the line, but I wonder if 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:48.680 players are wondering about next season, and there's there's no 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:50.920 real guarantees for how that's going to play out either. 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.240 We could be in a very similar situation next year 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:55.680 at this time, So they, as a player might be 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.280 you know, they might want to get in some games 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:01.320 and get in some time and play and compete, and 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:04.240 you know, if they have a chance for a ring, 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:06.880 actually be a part, you know, a participant in that, 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.200 rather than all of a sudden, two seasons are gone 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.160 and they're still waiting, well, I think that you're going 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.080 to look at delayed start and maybe it's backed up 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:18.640 to Christmas with the NBA. But also now it hasn't 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.400 come out publicly, but I'm waiting to hear the players 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.600 and the owners talk about, well, if we don't start 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:29.480 until December, what does that mean for salaries? Here just 0:16:29.600 --> 0:16:33.280 throwing it out there because people say it's not about money, 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.200 and it's always about money. We'll take a break, we'll 0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.680 talk to Albert Breer, the Monday Morning quarterback. I was 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:43.280 hoping for my Sky Judge. We're not getting a Sky Judge. 0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:46.240 But it feels like maybe we're just saying to the 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.200 replay official, hey, we're going to give you more responsibilities 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.480 that basically calling him the adjunct Sky Judge and Jerry 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.520 West the Laker Hall of Famer a little bit later 0:16:56.560 --> 0:16:59.360 on as well, eighteen after the Hour, just getting started 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:01.720 on this Thursday, Dan and the Dan as Dan Patrick Show. 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.720 You check things all the time, your email, Instagram?

Some Ohio State bunk eyes there. It's just 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:23.800 by accident that Paulie wore his Michigan T shirt today. Yeah, 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.800 I saw that. Are you a Michigan guy, PAULI, I 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.399 couldn't have gotten the Michigan if you doubled my gpa. No, 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.200 I went to Southern. I got an even better story. 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:34.479 I come from a long line of Michigan people, and 0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:37.160 I couldn't go get in, so I went to the arrival. 0:18:37.800 --> 0:18:41.760 Yeah that, but where did you grow up? Are you 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:45.280 from Michigan? Now, I'm from Massachusetts. My dad's from Detroit, though, 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.520 and so my dad's side of the family is almost 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:51.359 entirely from Michigan. Everybody went to Michigan or Michigan State, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.119 and yeah, I was the black sheep. I went to 0:18:54.160 --> 0:18:57.200 the other big town school. Yeah. But people call this rivalry, 0:18:57.280 --> 0:18:59.680 and I'm from Ohio, and I say, it's not a rivalry, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.840 as Michigan's not on the same level and so Ohio 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.760 State we Yeah, what do you think of that? It's 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:11.480 not I mean, it's to me over the last seventeen 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.320 eighteen year. I mean, it's like when I was in 0:19:13.400 --> 0:19:16.879 school there, Dan, it was the tail end of the 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:21.240 Lloyd Card John Cooper thing, and it's amazing what's happened. 0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.959 And I think it. Honestly, I think because it matters 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.400 more to people in Ohio. That's why things have gone 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:29.640 the way they've gone. But I mean, yeah, I mean 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.840 from what Trustle has done, the fact that they've been 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.880 more dominant since after Trust a lot so unbelievable. Yeah, 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:37.280 but why does it matter more to Ohio State fans 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.520 than it does Michigan fans. I don't know. You're probably 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.159 as good to answer to that as I am, right, 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:43.560 because you're from there. I don't know. I mean, I 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.200 think it's just more. I just think it's more ingrained 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:48.000 in the culture in Ohio. And I think the other 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.680 thing is, I mean when I went to school to 0:19:49.680 --> 0:19:51.040 Ohio State. I don't know if it's still the same 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.280 way there, but I think ninety five percent of the 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.120 people that I went to school with were from Ohio 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:58.080 and Michigan. A lot of the people didn't grow up 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:00.360 with it. I mean, a lot of the people that, um, 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.080 they go to Michigan or from New York or from California, 0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:04.720 And so I think it's a little less ingrained than 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.480 the people who went to Michigan than it is the 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:08.880 people went to Ohio State. Yeah, but I think when 0:20:08.880 --> 0:20:12.080 you're with everybody loves a winner. Therefore it's more important 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.040 to Ohio fans because they're on the winning side of this, 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:18.320 whereas Michigan fans not as excited, you know, sort of 0:20:18.359 --> 0:20:22.240 downplaying this, and uh maybe maybe that's why it means more. 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.600 I don't know. I don't know though, because Dan they 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.560 ran off John Cooper because he couldn't beat Michigan, Like 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:30.960 John Cooper was fine otherwise, and they ran him off 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.760 simply because he couldn't beat Michigan. So, but everything's good now. 0:20:35.200 --> 0:20:37.280 I don't think aybody would in Ohio was downplaying the 0:20:37.400 --> 0:20:39.800 rivalry when when it wasn't going well for them, Well, 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.880 the fact that it is going well that you know 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.480 that they're not everything. You know, they're fine with their 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.439 coach because whoever their coach is, because they know that 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:50.840 Michigan's coaches Jim Harball, and they always feel like they 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:53.520 have the upper hand there. Do you see a scenario 0:20:53.600 --> 0:20:58.560 where Harball eventually leaves Michigan for another coaching John I mean, 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:00.720 I think he certainly wants to another track of the NFL. 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:02.960 I do think that he has some unfinished business there. 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:06.240 I honestly think it's sort of bothered him, Um, you 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.879 know the way that he like his brother. Finally his 0:21:10.160 --> 0:21:13.160 brother got to the mountaintop against him, And I mean, 0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.280
