Got a pull question we update that. 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:28.560 Will check in with Nick Wright, co host of First 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.880 Things First on Fox Sports One. He'll join us coming 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:36.360 up momentarily. Jazz roll the Lakers last night one fourteen 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:38.760 to eighty nine. I know the focus will be on 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:42.160 the Lakers because that's clickbait, but the Jazz have played 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.559 extremely well. You may not tune in. Maybe last night 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:47.720 was the first time you tuned in this season to 0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:52.720 see the Utah Jazz. But they're efficient, they are economical. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.640 They pass the ball, they shoot the three well. They 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.360 probably get as many open looks at the three as 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.080 any team, probably more so than any other team. One 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.360 mcclubn oh I can't wait to wake up no more. 0:01:04.480 --> 0:01:07.679 They get to that YouTube clip of the efficient economical Jazz. 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.360 I said that that you may not it may not 0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.319 interest you, but you're not a basketball purist and you 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:18.080 don't understand the game. I like some passing, I like 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:23.440 some movement, and Utah Jazz if they played extremely well. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.400 Now does this translate into anything coming up in May 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:32.080 or June? Probably not, But last night should have been 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:34.600 about the Utah Jazz. It won't be. It'll be about 0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:39.040 the Lakers because they lost again without Anthony Davis. The 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.200 NBA playoffs schedule to begin May twenty second, By the way, 0:01:42.240 --> 0:01:44.600 we have no updates on Tiger Woods. Once we do, 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.560 will certainly pass that on to you. Give me the 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:50.400 poll question. Then we'll get into the popular Nick Wright 0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:53.840 from Fox Sports. First things first, if you were JJ Watt, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.000 would you rather sign for fifteen million with a good 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.840 team like the Titans or Bills or Packers or a 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.320 title contender like the Bucks or the chief for seven 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:07.520 point five million? Say the Bucks are the Chiefs. Okay, 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:11.880 let me start there with Nick Wright, Kansas City Chiefs apologist? Uh, 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.400 could you see J. J. Watt maybe joining come on 0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.960 this show? What unbelievable apologist is? At least you got 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.400 my name right this time? Dan, Go ahead, you're gonna 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:24.360 ask me about JJ Watt. Could you see him joining 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.880 your Kansas City Chiefs to maybe help him win a 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:31.360 Super Bowl? Yeah? Listen. And as an added bonus for JJ, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:36.640 he could go from a fraudulent, awful barbecue city in 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:40.960 Houston to the greatest barbecue city in America Kansas City, Missouri. 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:47.119 And the upgrade of organizations and coaches from the Bill 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.680 O'Brien Jack Easterby reign of terror in Houston to the 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.160 Brett Vach Andy Reid tightly run ship in Kansas City. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:57.200 It's just night and day. So for all those reasons 0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.760 alongside he would actually get to, you know, play in 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.639 and win a Super Bowl. Those things would all be 0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:03.160 good for him. It's great to see you, by the way, 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.320 it's great to see you, Nick. A couple of things 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.200 to talk to you about. I don't know if you 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.399 agree with me. The Jazz, they have been the best 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.240 team in the NBA, least record wise, may not be exciting, 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.480 may not have household names. It's been impressive what they did. 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:21.120 But the Lakers are clickbait. So what is the headline today? 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:26.919 The Lakers are the Jazz, but it's not because they're clickbait. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.040 But let me let me go to the Jazz. First, 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.480 I heard the beginning of the segment, but I didn't 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.919 hear the very very first words out of your mouth. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.200 It was odd to me. Why were you spending the 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.160 open of this hour talking about the twenty fifteen Atlanta 0:03:40.160 --> 0:03:43.680 Hawks or was it the twenty eighteen Toronto Raptors. I'm 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.320 not sure. It sounded a lot like that this team. Listen. 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:48.960 I'm not going to go out on the limb and 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.640 say they're actually, you know, going to be good in 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.680 the playoffs. But man, oh man, have you seen Jordan 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.320 Clarkson's true shooting percentage? Because if you don't give them 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:03.680 the respect, if you don't understand that Georgis Yang is 0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:06.880 going to be just a playoff sniper, well, you're not 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.640 a sophisticated Area Nite basketball fan. We've seen this team before. Okay, wait, 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.840 are you not interested in the Jazz because they're not 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:19.880 interesting or non threatening? What's the Well, I just there's 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.839 a half dozen teams that with a gun to your head, 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:25.640 you would pick over them to win the title, just 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.599 like the twenty fifteen Hawks. Remember the twenty fifteen Hawks, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.840 they had their entire team one player of the bump. 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.040 Do you know why that happened, because it's like, well, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:35.800 we know none of them are that good, but they 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:38.080 were seventeen to oh, so we gotta give it to them. 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:40.919 We've seen this story before. It's a fun, nice, cute story, 0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:43.160 and I'm glad for the people of Utah that they 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.520 get it. But this is not a This is not 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.719 a contender in any stretch of the imagination. Now, the Lakers, 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.440 we've also seen this story before. Do you know what 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.640 this Lakers team reminds me of the first Laker team 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.240 Lebron was on. It's like Lebron and a bunch of 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:03.080 okay pieces because you don't have Anthony Davis and Shrewder 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.040 but more so Davis. That's what this team is. And 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.599 so yeah, like I don't actually think either's a huge 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:12.920 deal because here's what we know about the Lakers. If 0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.279 Anthony Davis is not around for the playoffs, they can't 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.120 win the title. But he's gonna be around for the playoffs, 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.560 so I'm not overly concerned with it. And Lebron is 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:26.440 having every go through his Basketball Reference game log. It's 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.279 usually January, but he has it down two weeks shortly 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.040 before the All Star break. He's that's what's going on 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.760 with him right now? And his shot has failed him 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.159 for the last month. It'll come back, Lakers will be 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:43.719 fine this load management with Lebron. What should be the 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.000 approach by the Lakers? What should be the approach by Lebron? 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.360 I have listened. I am I'm thirty six years old, 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:54.920 which makes me a millennial, but there are certain things 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.640 about me that I feel like I am of your generation, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:00.400 which you were? You're the silent generation, right Dan, I'm 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.960 not sure which one, but whichever one it is, the 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.479 which is I have this controversial take for people my age, 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:11.479 which is, when healthy and available, you should go to work. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.760 Lebron's healthy, he's available, he should probably go to work. 0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:20.040 And Lebron is in this odd almost singular spot as 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:25.039 an athlete, which is, we operate from the perspective of 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:29.560 we have to criticize him. So what so if Lebron 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.360 was taking a lot of time off, do we think 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.680 that would be like, you know what, smart, good job Lebron, 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.680 hetty play not overworking. No, you would be criticized for it. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.640 Lebron is now being criticized for playing every game. Now, 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.559 do I think guys in an eighty two game season. 0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:49.159 It's smart to play all eighty two, Probably not, and 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.039 Lebron's only done that in the later part of his career. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.960 One time is last year with the Cavs. But I 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.560 also think the league was dan three years ago in 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.479 a very very dangerous spot with the load management. Do 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:07.040 you remember the nationally televised Spurs Warriors game. Both teams 0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.440 were like on pace for sixty five wins and nobody played. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.760 Kawhi didn't play, Katee didn't play, stepped in't play, Clay 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:17.040 didn't play, and it was becoming a trim And I 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:21.920 think Lebron is helping stop that because while guys will 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.800 still rest on some back to backs, if Lebron jumped 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.760 on the Kawhi Leonard from last year load management plan, 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:32.440 then it would become even more accepted, and that'd be 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.800 terrible for the business of basketball. So I think Lebron's 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.520 responsibility was teammates and a bigger responsibility to the league 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.720 to kind of remind guys, hey, I'm the oldest guy 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.120 out here, I've played more minutes than everybody. I'm available. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.040 Let's try to be more available to our fans and 0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:51.120 to our teammates. It almost seems like he's doing it 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.800 on purpose to deliver this message like, Hey, I'm an 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.640 old school and I agree with you. You show up 0:07:57.640 --> 0:08:00.200 for work. I mean, my generation, which is a lot 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:03.160 older than yours, we just showed up for work. We 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:05.480 didn't get a pat on the back. You just went 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.480 to work. Lebron is going to work. But is it 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.080 smart because his goal is to win a championship and 0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:16.480 be an MVP in that order, is it smart on 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.680 his part to be showing up and playing every night? 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:25.400 I think it is for him specifically because he has 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:30.240 shown He and Carl Malone are the only guys in 0:08:30.360 --> 0:08:34.720 league history that I think we can say they their 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:38.800 body just seems to handle wear and tear differently than 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:41.959 everyone else. Ever, I mean, he slipped on a wet 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.280 spot on Christmas Day his first year with the Lakers 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.880 and tours growing. Aside from that, he's been indestructible. And 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:52.080 so I never once watched the playoff series with Lebron 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.240 have been like, you know what, he looks hired, He 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:57.079 plays more minutes and he looks fine. So I do 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.600 think for certain guys there is an element of you 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:03.040 need to be peeking at the end of the year. 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:04.880 But the other thing, and I would I have this 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:09.040 question for you, Dan. Some of it seems like pseudoscience 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:13.000 and guesswork, because what happened with Paul George a few 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.719 days ago, it was like it's it's like, okay, he's 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.200 at thirty two and a half minutes, not a second more. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.680 Do you know what? It reminded me of thirty five 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.920 years ago Jordan when he was coming off the foot injury. 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:27.520 And I only remember it because he was in the 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.400 last dance. He wanted to come back in the game 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.520 in the last minute. Remember he was arguing with the 0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.920 coach and that doctors came down They're like, no, eighteen 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.960 minutes maximum. I'm like, really with this is by our 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.880 science is like, is like our train system, how did 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:45.720 you move Cole one hundred years ago? Put it on 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:48.040 a train. We haven't improved that, and we're not improving 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.600 this either. It's like we guess an amount of minutes, 0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.480 and that's what it is. So I don't even people 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:55.680 are like, oh, you've got to listen to the science. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.640 But I think on the minute stuff, the science is guessing. 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.760 It's just really guesswork. And I've never seen evidence otherwise. 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.800 And in baseball Dan, which I don't talk about a lot, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.120 but you do it somewhat. It's Jeff Passon wrote a 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.800 great book that since they have been more focused on 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:16.920 pitch counts like pitch arm, injuries have gone up. So 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:20.640 some of this I just don't think we have mastered yet. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:22.920 And I think airing on the side of all play 0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.600 when I'm healthy is pretty smart. He's nick Right, co 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.240 host of First Things First on Fox Sports One. Kyrie 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.200 Irving had something on Instagram where he said, maybe we 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.600 changed the logo from Jerry West to Kobe Bryant. Could 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:37.840 you see the league? I know Jerry West would be 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.520 fine with that because Jerry's embarrassed to be the logo, 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:45.280 and he brought Kobe into the league, brought him into 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.360 the Lakers. Could you see where the league would sign 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:52.600 off on Kobe replacing Jerry West is the logo. So 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.720 a few things. One is I read and I didn't 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.959 read a full article about it, but I did read 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.000 yesterday that one of the reasons it has stayed Jerry 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.920 West is they don't have to pay any royalties on 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.600 that logo. And I think if you did it with 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:13.080 Kobe or with anybody Lebron's block on Iguadala, Michael Jordan anything, 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.000 all of a sudden, you're gonna have to pay a 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.440 royalty on every and that seems untenable. To go from 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:22.679 zero dollars to even if it's just a small percentage. 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.600 I just don't think that's realistic. I do think, though, 0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.280 if I'm going to touch a third rail here, that 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:33.400 Kyrie in his comment on the idea, like his second line, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.920 he did raise it to me a valid point, which 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.520 is the NBA is a black league. It is an 0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:42.960 overwhelmingly black league, and the success of the league has 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.360 been built for the vast majority by black players. And 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.480 it does seem a little anachronistic that we've got a 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.880 white dude from nineteen sixty two is the logo. But 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.800 I also think do I think a lot of people 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.000 don't even know that he's the logo? You know? You 0:11:58.040 --> 0:11:59.880 know what, I know what, I think most fans probably 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:05.040 don't know that that's an actual person that in that logo. Yeah, 0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:07.679 and you know, having spoke to Jerry West about this, 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.760 you know you can tell where I don't think they 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.320 conferred with him. They basically just made him the logo 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.360 and then he didn't really acknowledge it for a long time. 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.040 I mean, growing up, I sort of knew it was 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:23.680 Jerry because there was a picture that accompanied that logo picture. 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:28.760 But Jerry is embarrassed almost to bring that up. And 0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:30.559 I agree with you. I don't know if the NBA 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.280 can go, hey, we're gonna have Kobe as the logo. 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:37.680 What's it going to cost us? Right? But I don't know. 0:12:38.920 --> 0:12:42.319 I think Kyrie's onto something, but I don't know if 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:45.520 if if he's onto something that will actually come to fruition. Well, 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:49.360 I wonder I wonder if renaming some of these awards, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:55.040 so the Larry O'Brien, I don't think that's gonna change. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.000 They just named the finals MVP the Bill Russell. You 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:00.600 know that that happened a few years ago. I think 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.040 that's good. Does and I apologize for not knowing this. 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:08.479 Does League MVP? Does that trophy a have an honorific 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:11.160 because I think a lot of people feel like Kobe 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:14.920 should have won more than one League MVP. He only 0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.960 won the one naming that after him almost as a league. 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:20.800 I do feel like there should be something done for Kobe, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:24.400 and I do feel like we should maybe update some 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.640 of these names to the more modernized MBA, But I 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.760 don't know if the logo is what they're going to 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.520 do with it. Yeah, I don't see it happening, but 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:38.720 I look, I appreciate what Kyrie. That Kyrie has a personality. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.800 I don't always agree with it, but that he does. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.360 He is a thinker. Sometimes he thinks too much, sometimes 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:48.520 he doesn't think enough, but you know that he was 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.520 It's a nice gesture on his part and Kyrie it was. 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.760 If you remember, after Kobe's passing, Kyrie took some time 0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:01.360 away and Kyrie was exception league close with Kobe. And 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.839 I think Kyrie, we don't look at it because he's 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.000 so much smaller, but he's modeled a lot of his 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.560 game after Kobe, even though the games are different. Yeah, 0:14:10.600 --> 0:14:16.360 I listen just because sometimes the people who have at 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.480 times the worst ideas often are also the people that 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.600 come up with some of the best ideas. And so 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.480 I feel like this happens in television and radio production 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.160 meetings a lot. The person that is most likely that 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.160 when they throw something out there, you're gonna be like, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.240 why do we let that guy talk is also a 0:14:34.280 --> 0:14:36.960 guy who about once a week you're like Oh, that's brilliant. 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:39.480 And I feel like, you know, Kyrie throws a lot 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:41.720 out there. Some of it's a little wacky, but I 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.080 think he was onto something here without a doubt. I 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:47.840 think of his last February. Poully did the research that 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:52.160 the All Star MVP is named after Kobe Brynt. Right, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.880 they changed it last year. But that's also that's like 0:14:55.960 --> 0:15:00.040 are award you know what I mean? I know, do 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.320 something named the scoring title after him? I don't know, 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:07.600 do something like Bradley Beale, come on down and receive 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.480 the Kobe Bryant, receive the Kobe Bryant. Yeah, yeah, I 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.480 like it. Do you want in on the JJ Watt 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:18.160 game that we played. We've played it already where we 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.360 think he's gonna end up. Do you do you want to? Sure? 0:15:20.440 --> 0:15:23.680 But yeah, you got one pick. I got one pick. 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.760 Here we go, Hold on, here we go. Here's here's 0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:31.520 the Nick Wright green Bay, Green Bay. Okay, that's my 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.000 pick going on a limb there. I don't know if 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.840 it's a limb. I just think Green Bay they have 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:38.720 good cheese, not good barbecue. Come come to can't see 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.640 with the barbecue? JJ? Stay for the championships that would 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:45.200 be my recommendation. Well, you have lived in Houston, so 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.720 you you are. Yeah, I lived there for four years 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:50.840 and ate what they Listen Houston folks say it's been 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:55.520 tough times. I empathize with you immensely. But Texas barbecue 0:15:56.520 --> 0:16:01.040 is fraudulent and not It's not like bad compared to 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:05.680 its reputation. It's bad compared to food. It's just not good. 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.560 It's the hottest take anyone's going to deliver all year. 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:15.440 Texas barbecue not good. Thank you, Nick, We appreciate your time. 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:18.640 As always, that's the popular Nick Right, co host of 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:22.440 First Things First on Funk Sports one. Once again, that 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:25.920 was Nick Wright's opinion on Texas barbecue. Paul, you guys 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.240 went on a sojourn in Houston at the Super Bowl 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.760 with Houston barbecue right now, He's got a point maybe 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.400 if he's saying Houston doesn't have a specific style to Houston. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.880 It's more Texas barbecue, beef brisket and so forth, and 0:16:39.160 --> 0:16:41.520 Kansas City style barbecue. It's got more of like a 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.520 tomato based sauce on it. You know, there's less pulled 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.880 pork down in Houston. I don't know. I love Texas barbecue. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.840 But it doesn't. Kansas City has its own style that's 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:54.320 unique to their town, and so as Memphis. Memphis is 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.800 more of a sticky sauce. See, I would go Memphis. 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.400 Memphis is more of the more of a Northern style 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.560 where if there is a Northern style where it's more 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:05.040 sticky sauce, Kansas City is a little more tomato based. 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.520 If you want something good North Carolina, it's called Lexington 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:11.160 barbecue Lexington style. It's more of a vinegar. Oh man, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.200 that's good too. I could do this all day. Uh, 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.560 Kansas City does have its own style more so than 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:20.280 Houston does. Not better or worse. We'll take a break. 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.000 We'll get to phone calls coming up. Eight seven seven, 0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:25.639 three D P show. More on the Lakers lost to 0:17:25.720 --> 0:17:28.359 the Jazz last night. Am I sensing a lot of us? 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:31.920 Stay in your lane. I know something, all believe me. 0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:36.919 I know it's coming. Actually, Houston is known for a 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:40.840 very specific brand of mesquite that you know all of 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:46.800 that show. Nick right, he's not welcome back. I didn't 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.720 know we were going there, but Nick Wright gave you 0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.720 that to you is the hottest take on the year. 0:17:53.680 --> 0:17:56.479 We'll take a break. It's coming up. Didn't he call 0:17:56.480 --> 0:18:01.280 it fraudulent? I could. He could have just said, But 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.920 knowing Nick, he can't just say one time. It's one 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:05.800 thing to compare one barbecue to the other. He said 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:10.480 food in general, any food that you might like. Take 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:12.800 a break back after this and the Dan Patrick Show. 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:17.119 I walked in today and got a spring in my step. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:22.320 I'm ready to go.

They're twenty one players 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.280 all time in the NBA who have made at least 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:15.080 two hundred million dollars. Thirteen are active stat of the 0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:18.320 day stat of the day that past out of the 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:23.359 day stat of the day here comes that what stat 0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:28.080 of the day? I'm not sure if I have the 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.160 names of the players who have made two hundred million dollars. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.840 I did say that. You know, you have the Boston 0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:38.360 Celtics with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and they made 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.040 the All Star team for a team that is under 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:45.800 five hundred. What's happened before? This is not the first 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:49.480 time that it's happened. Last five times that had happened. 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.720 Let's see, was that Bosh and Wade in twenty fourteen 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:59.320 with the Heat the Lakers, by the way, that's a 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:06.200 year right, Lebron left okay UH twenty twelve, Dwight Howard 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:11.600 and Kobe Bryant, Paul Pearson Rondo in twenty eleven with 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:20.280 the Celtics, Antoine Jamison and Karn Butler. He's an All 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:25.280 Star seven and UH the O six nets Jason Kidd 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.960 and Vince Card. So it has happened before. It feels 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.800 like these are championship teams that were on their way 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.520 down right after their championships. By the way, some more 0:21:35.600 --> 0:21:39.560 love for the Utah Jazz. The Jazz have four players 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:42.360 averaging at least fifteen points a game. Toronto's the only 0:21:42.400 --> 0:21:44.400 other team and it has that. No, once again, these 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.679 aren't reasons for you to tune in to watch the Jazz, 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:50.160 and that's not what I'm saying. You can if you want, 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:53.360 and you can join me. When I watched the Utah Jazz, 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:58.560 the jazz team makes six more three pointers per game 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:01.720 than its opponent. That's the best differential for any team. 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:06.000 All Ton, Yes, you're not watching the Jazz. You're appreciating 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.960 the Jazz. I appreciate the jazz. But I've watched the jazz, 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:14.280 but it's it's an appreciation, not a entertainment vehicle. Yes, yeah, 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:16.840 you're not gonna go oh my god, like when you 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:21.160 walk calmly through a you know, art gallery. Yeah, you 0:22:21.359 --> 0:22:27.000 just admire. You just you watch and you admire. Yes, mcclub, 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.400 I mean, how about next hour's Paul who's a better Bogdanovich? 0:22:30.520 --> 0:22:36.280 The Jazz is um bojan or the Hawks bogdon Because 0:22:36.320 --> 0:22:38.720 apparently the Jazz or the stories did anyone here not 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.680 know they were two different people? Because I always thought 0:22:41.680 --> 0:22:43.080
