Broadcasting from the Mercedes Bancake is Dan 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:49.760 Patrick Our two on this Thursday. It was in the 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:55.160 first hour because PAULI was calling out reporters. He wants 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.040 to place a bet that Brady goes back to New England. 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.040 And the reason why we stumbled upon this the Brady 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:05.840 buzz at the Combine ESPNS Jeff Darlington on Get Up. 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:08.000 I'm now at the point where I would be stunt 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.280 if Tom Brady went back to New England. Also a 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:14.520 couple other reports. Patriots still have not reached out to 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.480 Tom Brady. According to a source quote, it's not looking good. 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.800 And then the strong buzz and Indie this week is 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.559 Tom Brady won't return to the Patriots, will be first 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:27.279 Domino to fall in QB musical chairs, Welcome to the program, 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.160 already in progress. Fritzie, who's not here today, he's at home, 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.920 still still on the end. But he didn't reach out 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.920 to Jeff Darlington to see if he wanted to take 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:40.560 Paulie up on the bet for a thousand dollars or 0:01:40.680 --> 0:01:43.240 just come on and talk about the buzz around Tom Brady. 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.280 We checked with Vegas to see if any of these 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.200 so called they're not reports, it's just an opinion. The 0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:52.880 buzz is. I'm hearing that, and I said to mclov 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.040 and check with Vegas and see what Vegas says about 0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:58.360 tom Brady's odds. The Patriots are still the odds on 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.760 favor to keep Tom Brady. Then you have the Raiders 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.160 in there and the Titans in there, and that's about it. 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.360 You know, I thought the Chargers would be an interesting play, 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.760 you know, Tom and Giselle having the family in Los 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.720 Angeles and he'd be able to play for them as 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.000 they move into a new stadium, and they do have 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.800 a lot of weapons there. But according to Vegas, and 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.639 maybe somebody comes in and surprises this Mike the Broncos 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.560 did with Peyton Manning. But if I was a betting man, 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.120 I'd still say New England, because if I'm Tom Brady, 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.400 it's not about Hey, I want respect and I want 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.760 you to pay me thirty million dollars a year. If 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.400 he wants respect, that he would want forty million dollars 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.240 a year. Thirty million. That seems to be a bargain 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.360 if you're going to get Tom Brady in there. But 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.560 it feels like the Patriots are looking out of one 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.680 plus one. Maybe a two year deal. Maybe the Raiders 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.919 they're going to reach out, give them a three year deal. 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:51.320 Maybe the Titans come in there with Mike Brabel, you know, seton. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.720 So let's say that the Patriots camp, excuse me, tom 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.640 Brady's camp did release that information, right, and they sort 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.880 of started all of this. The Patriots haven't out to them. Yea, 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.440 if this is really just like a big game of chicken, 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.079 who do you like, the Patriots or Brady who's got 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.200 the most leverage. Well, I need to know what the 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.680 backup plan is for New England. That's really your leverage, 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:18.919 because if Jared Stidham is your leverage, I like Tom 0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:23.800 Brady's leverage. But if you say, hey, I'm hearing sources 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.040 close to me tell me they're going to trade for 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.119 Cam Newton, that might be leverage New England or even 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.880 Andy Dalton like Andy Dalton to me. Granted he's nowhere 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.160 near the quarterback that Tom Brady is, but skill level wise, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:41.119 at this age, Andy Dalton is still relatively young when 0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.920 you look at quarterbacks now, could he could put up 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:48.040 probably equal numbers. Now, he's not the same presence. I 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.320 don't know if he's scaring the defense the same way. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.600 But if you're looking at somebody who you can handle 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:57.000 baton too and you don't lose that much, Andy Dalton 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:58.680 might be a little bit of leverage for the New 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:02.360 England Patriots. Maybe the Patriots go, hey, nobody's thinking this 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.840 is a team. And we found out that this was 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.400 true because I told you I heard that they were 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.520 interested in Baker Mayfield, and it turns out it was true. 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:14.640 They were interested in trading up to get Baker Mayfield. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:18.080 Bill Belichick is not gonna He has no interest in 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.160 opening up that scrap book and say, well, these are 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.920 great memories. He wants to create even more. He wants 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:27.279 another scrap book. And that's why it feels like Belichick 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.080 knows what he's doing from the standpoint of what Tom 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.960 Brady's going to do. Like there's a threshold here, that's 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.679 all it is. My opinion, Hey, what's it going to cost? 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:41.080 What's he want? Okay, what can we surround him with? Now? 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.480 They got to make some moves here. Do you make 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.799 a trade for Stefan Diggs? Do you make a trade 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:48.880 for Odell Beckham Junior? If you're the New England Patriots, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.640 do you do one last round up here and go 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.560 we still have a better than average defense here, and 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.080 we have some skill position guys. If we compliment those 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.080 guys with two more players, now we got a team 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.120 that you have to Now we can compete with the 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.400 Kansas City Chiefs. Everything New England did this year was 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.320 predicated on if they faced the Ravens or if they 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.920 faced the Chiefs. That's why they wanted Antonio Brown. They 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.360 were trying to, you know, Josh Gordon, They were trying 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.000 to get those guys so if they got into a 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.719 shootout that they could compete and they couldn't even compete 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:29.080 with the Titans. Yeah, Paul, Yeah, the more I watched 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.039 the combine and I was thinking, you know, the Patriots 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.039 have drafted a quarterback about every other year during Tom 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.239 Brady's era. Now, some of them are like Rohan Davy 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:38.200 and they're not big time, or Ryan Mallett and it 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.080 doesn't work out, but they've always drafted him in the 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.520 first four or five rounds. The guy, I would think, 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:45.440 and this is based off nothing Jalen Hurts, and it's 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.799 based only off his interview skills. He whenever he interviewed 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.440 after a game or he talks, he's very unsatisfied. He 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.400 appears unsatisfied at all times and his demeanor to me, 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.800 I would be shocked if they didn't take Jalen Hurts. Well, 0:05:57.920 --> 0:06:00.440 he's got a chip on his shoulder and understandable. So 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.760 because he got passed over in the championship game for 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.960 Tuah and I think Alabama was leading at the time 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.280 and they replaced him with Tuah and then he lost 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:13.040 his job. He goes to Oklahoma, he's the Heisman Trophy 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:17.640 winner in the month of September and put up respectable numbers. 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.760 Now he goes to the Combine and people go, hey, 0:06:19.760 --> 0:06:22.360 would you play another position? Yeah, he's gonna have a 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.160 chip on his shoulder when he gets to the NFL. 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.680 Greg Olsen, now with the Seahawks, will join us. Coming 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:30.880 up next downer Peter Schreger, NFL Network insider, will join us. 0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:33.320 We'll ask him is he hearing the buzz about Tom 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.719 Brady at the combine? Matt and Arkansas joins us. Hi, Matt, 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.440 what do you have for me today? Hey, Danny, good? 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.640 How you doing all right? I got a super hot 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.200 take on Tom Brady If he leaves the Patriots. The 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:53.200 easiest path the AFC Championship Game is still the AFC 0:06:53.400 --> 0:07:00.400 East without Brady. The Patriots stink Jet stink, dolphin stink. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:09.360 Oh he's going the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, okay, all right, Well, 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:14.040 thank you, Matt. I don't see that happening, but it 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:19.640 feels like the Bills like their quarterback. Yes, mclevan, I 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.160 love that one. The Bills. That's that's I've heard every 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.240 team over the last couple of weeks, The Bills, that's 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.720 the first. Well you haven't heard every team at least 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:33.040 twenty Bengals decide they want Tom Brady instead of Joe Burrow. Yeah, 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.360 haven't heard that one. You have not heard? No, no, yeah, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.240 haven't heard that one. But if we're looking at these scenarios, 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.160 where you go, I could see him going then going 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:45.480 here to the Giants. How silly was that? Well, then 0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.000 why wouldn't you see him going to Cleveland to basically 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.280 do the same thing with a better roster than the 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:55.560 Giants have. It's because we're this is wishful reporting, is 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:59.080 all this is? Yes, Well, I would say Baker Mayfield 0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.800 more staff us in a way to Daniel Jones. Oh really, 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.760 who had a better year last year? Well? Still, but 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.200 Baker showed us what he could do. I'm just saying, 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:09.120 who had a better year? This is year to year, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.480 that's amazing. I think you're totally right. But it's like 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:14.040 Baker makefil feels like a star, where Daniel Jones feels 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:17.320 like a real incomplete products of them. And I know 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.240 that people are looking at the Redskins saying, oh, they're 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.400 not going to draft Tuah or Joe Burrow. I just 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.600 think Ron Rivera has been around this game long enough 0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:27.600 to know you gotta do your due diligence here. And 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.080 if Burrow and two are willing to come in, then 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.160 you look at them and you say, what if something happens, 0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:35.800 you know, you just want to be prepared. And I 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.920 applaud Rivera for just being prepared. Chase Young makes all 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.360 the sense in the world. What if somebody is going 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.720 to lose out on Tuah and knocks on the Redskins door, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:51.880 and then what is your plan be you get three 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:56.600 draft picks, three first round picks, then you might be 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.640 willing to sacrifice Chase Young if it helps you get 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:03.320 three players. And you know so Rivera is doing that 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.400 all right. The poll question, if you had a week's 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.640 better week's pay that Tom Brady will play for the 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.880 Patriots or any other team, that's the poll question. Yeah, 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:16.360 seventy Patriots. Yeah, and I agree with that. That's where 0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.880 I would go. I mentioned the Giants. Here's Joe Judge, 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:24.240 who was a special teams coach I believe, or receivers 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.800 coach in New England. He's now with the Giants. And 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.959 this caught fire yesterday because we're desperate for any kind 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:33.360 of news on who is his quarterback with the New 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.559 York Giants. Every one of our players are going to 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:36.920 come here with a blank slate and be able to 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.400 compete from the ground up from day one. And I'm 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:41.680 not going to establish any kind of status or hierarchy 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:44.480 within the individual players or position groups by spending a 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.120 month talking about individuals. That's important to me, and I 0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:49.680 want you guys to understand my reason for that. I 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:51.640 can't tell everyone they've got an equal slate and they 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.680 show up on April seventh and I spent a month 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.640 talking about a specific player. Okay, everyone's done the same 0:09:56.640 --> 0:10:04.719 opportunity on a daily basis to compete. Daniel our depth 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:07.120 charts on that board right there, right now, no one's 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.600 got a spot, all right. He's not gonna about talking 0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.960 about specific players. That's just a philosophy that this is. 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.360 There's nothing here. He's just given out that Belichick. I'm 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.720 not gonna say anything while I say something. Everybody's in danger. 0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:23.680 So you're saying sea Quon Barkley has to earn his job. 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.040 Is that what you're saying? We know that's not true. Yeah, 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:29.000 I love though that. The coach is he's very clear. Look, 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:30.920 I'm not gonna say I'm gonna not gonna talk about 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:32.920 one specific player, all right, That's not what we're trying 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:34.920 to do here. It's not about one specific player, and 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.800 the very the next question is, so about this one 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:43.240 specific player? Can we talk about Daniel Jones here? So 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.360 what about Daniel Jones? And no, I'm not talking about 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.240 specific players? So what about sea Quon Barkley. They're not. 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.880 I mean, it's a silly story here, it is. I 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:54.640 still go back to the Cowboys, and I think Jerry 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.440 Jones leaked it out and maybe he said it to 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.560 Michael Irvin maybe then, but he was trying time to 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.480 create some leverage here with Dak Prescott. That's all that is. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:09.880 Dak prescottster quarterback. I'd rather have twa I'd rather trade 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:12.360 Dak and get draft picks and take Tuah before I 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.440 would take Tom Brady if I'm looking at building a team, 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:18.480 and I got a five year window there. But I 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:20.600 don't know if any of this stilliness happens. Maybe the 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:23.720 Raiders do because they pay a price that nobody else will. 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.840 Maybe he looks at Mike Rabel and likes what he 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.160 sees in Tennessee because he got a chance to see 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.920 it up close. And Personal. You resigned Derek Hennering and 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:34.520 it does. It doesn't sound like they're completely sold on 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.079 Ryan Tannehill there with the Titans. Other than that, it 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:40.240 feels like it's going to be New England unless there's 0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:42.480 a big surprise here, which I just don't think there 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.160 will be. Brady's best chance at winning a Super Bowl 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.880 is still with New England. Second Morning to our radio 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.560 and TV partners.

There's a 0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:23.560 lot of great things there. And believe it or not, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.040 the guy who's directing the show is the big German Kid. 0:12:26.800 --> 0:12:29.520 I don't know if he's ever directed before. Yeah, but 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.920 I didn't have anybody, and the big German kid is 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.800 going to be directing the show. We got all the 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.040 camera we got more camp I put in five more 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.280 cameras here. You can't do that, Yes I did. I did. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.400 It was blowout the budget coverage Dan Patrick Show, Thank 0:12:43.440 --> 0:12:46.800 you Todd, and that'll be on YouTube on Monday. The 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:51.320 radio show and the podcast does not change whatsoever, nothing 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:55.679 about that same mediocrity will be on display every single 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.040 day from us at that promise to you. Yes, we've 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:02.520 guaranteed that Monday, that's when the TV part of this 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.760 it changes. It will not be the same without the 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.440 folks in Los Angeles who have done this every single day. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.560 And it'll be a really tough show tomorrow because we 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:14.600 have to say goodbye to those folks who have gotten 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.640 up for ten years at four in the morning to 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:22.080 come in and do this program and never ever complained 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:26.960 they were They've been wonderful, beautiful people. And tomorrow will 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.320 not be a fun day. It's a meat Friday, but 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.240 it won't be a fun day because we have to 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:35.680 say goodbye. So my thanks to all of them. But 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:38.040 the YouTube channel and then we'll let you know if 0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.360 we get a different TV partner. We'll let you know 0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.960 all of those things. The radio portion and podcasts do 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:47.319 not change. We are excited to be affiliated with the Premier. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.920 They've been carrying our show since we started. Yes point 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.040 with the new German director will be subtle German influences 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.200 to the YouTube broadcast of the show. I'm not sure 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.280 craft works soundtrack. I'm Leaderhosen. I don't know, but the 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.000 big German kid is back there, and he's got a 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.480 sidekick named Dylan. If you left this character Dylan, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.000 big smoker. Yeah. I don't know Dylan's last name. I 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.760 think he just goes by Dylan. He would get our breakfast. 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:14.800 He went from breakfast to doing graphics on this program 0:14:14.800 --> 0:14:17.880 American dream Bets. That's how quickly you're promoted here on 0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.240 the program. Yes, Eaton. The only thing Dylan has ever 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.120 said to me is uh, dance Eaton. Hall screwed me 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:26.680 on the parlor like that's it. I was like, oh, sorry, man, 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.840 sorry to hear that. He's our gambling guy, losing gambling guy. Yeah, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.120 but he's a gambling guy. Yeah. I wonder if he 0:14:32.120 --> 0:14:34.479 would take your bet on Tom Brady to the Patriots 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.120 if he did it. I'm probably winning because that guy 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:38.600 hasn't want a bet about a year and a half. 0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:44.960 He he don't even repair of socks. I know, could 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.200 be eight degrees out and he doesn't have socks on. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:50.680 You're right, like man, So that that's pretty much what 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:57.440 we're doing here. Smoking mirrors. Uh, nobody doesn't better than no. Uh, 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.480 we do it with smoking mirrors. A couple of had aige, 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.960 some tape, some yarn, and we keep this thing somehow. 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:09.440 Roll yeah, fake lass too, right on cue. Yes, we 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.760 should be sponsored by duct tape. That should be should 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.320 be the new sponsor of the show. This show brought 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.600 to you by ductade. Somehow we keep it all together. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.680 A couple of NBA items. Steph Curry not sure if 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:23.000 he's coming back on Sunday, but Steve Kerr talked about 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.080 why Steph Curry is going to come back and play. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:31.440 He's only scrimmage twice and in fact, I think he 0:15:31.560 --> 0:15:35.040 needs more. Um, I think he needs to scrimmage some 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.800 more before he's really ready to play. So UM, we'll 0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.280 see how it all plays out. I think yesterday's report 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:49.840 which was news to us, Um, it's not official, nothing's official. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.400 Step will play when he's reading and um, you know 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.240 that data has been something that's for sure on Steph's mind, 0:15:57.440 --> 0:15:59.520 And um, that's when he wants to play. But he'll 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:04.040 play when one We all feel like he's ready to go. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.760 So I think he needs some more scrimmage time. We 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.560 don't have much time to do that with all of 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.800 our games, so we'll just see how it plays out. Yeah, 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:14.640 I would spend more time getting Steph Curry ready to 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.200 come back than I would for her next opponent, given 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.440 how bad the Warriors are. Be Like, you know what, 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.000 screw that game with the Lakers coming up here. We 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.080 want to get Steph ready for whenever he wants to 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:28.640 come back. Lebron. Now it's going to be probably framed 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:31.800 as is this load management after the big game against 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.320 Zion where he puts up forty Now Lebron with injured 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.360 growing load management. Well, you know they got like out 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.880 of their next fourteen games, eleven or primetime games, and 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.240 if Lebron tweaked something. I don't think this is a 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.720 larger picture issue. You know, the seventy sixers. It's a 0:16:48.840 --> 0:16:52.040 larger picture here because you don't have Joe el Mbad 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:55.040 and Ben Simmons and the Sixers lost with the Cavaliers 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:59.160 last night by fourteen. Sixers have lost seven consecutive road 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.440 games and they've done so by double digits, and this 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:06.040 was I think this was an opportunity for the Sixers 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:09.080 to look at Joe l Embiide and the Sixers without 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.800 Ben Simmons and see because at some point it feels 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:14.480 like they're going to have to make a decision on 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:18.680 these two. It feels like both are better when they're 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:22.000 not playing with each other. That's not a good sign 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.400 that you move forward. Al Horford has been a disappointment. 0:17:25.760 --> 0:17:28.280 Tobias Harris is getting paid a lot of money and 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:30.600 he's been a little better than average. I thought he 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:32.359 was playing well in the first half of the season. 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.000 Al Horford is a guy who plays center and he's 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:39.160 just out of place with his team. It's just it's 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:42.760 not a good mix here, and I think there'll be 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.800 some changes here. Maybe they get healthy, maybe they're dangerous 0:17:45.800 --> 0:17:48.840 in the playoffs. I think we're going to look back 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.640 on the process and say the process didn't really work. 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.000 And you can say, well, injuries, man, it's all part 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:58.160 of it. You know, that's part of the game, keeping 0:17:58.240 --> 0:18:02.080 guys healthy. And we knew Joe lad I had injuries 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.800 in college. Ben Simmons, you know, I brought this up. 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.239 I think he got hurt in the All Star Game, 0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:10.120 and nobody was reporting on that that he hurt his back. 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.280 So I don't know where they go with that as 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:17.080 they move forward. It feels like they'll be changes in Philadelphia. 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.600 If you don't get to the conference title game, it 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.240 feels like there's gonna be changes there. Yeah, I don't 0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:23.879 think I have a big problem with what the Sixers did. 0:18:23.960 --> 0:18:27.119 You know, Embiid is really good and can be. Simmons 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:29.040 is really good and can be. That trade where they 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.160 gave up Tatum for faults and now it got critiqued 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:33.320 even in the moment. A lot of people in this 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:35.359 room critiqued that that was a bad trade in the moment, 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:38.480 and if they had Tatum on this team and those 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.920 draft picks back, that would change everything. Yeah. I was 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.040 critical of it because I was told going into the 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.840 draft that Tatum's the best player in the draft, and 0:18:48.720 --> 0:18:50.560 that was from Scott just to manage that they had 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:56.200 him and you had those draft picks too. Yeah, I 0:18:56.320 --> 0:18:58.639 mean this home roads, but he's got a point of 0:18:58.720 --> 0:19:02.240 the coach. I'm sorry it's it's unavoidable. You can tell 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.600 you what about the process of players, but Brett Brown's 0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:06.480 not working right. I mean, you can't be this batt 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:08.600 on the road. They're twenty seven and two at home. 0:19:08.600 --> 0:19:11.000 They're nine and twenty one on the road. They're on 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:15.359 the verge of the worst differential between home and road 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:20.920 records since the merger. Bad of the day, sad of 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:24.720 the day, that Dad of the day, Stad of the day? 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:31.920 Here comes that? What stat of the day? By the way, 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.200 the Sacramento Kings in nineteen ninety they went one and 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:44.280 forty away from home. Who I don't know. They probably 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:47.360 beat a decent team, but they went one and forty 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:53.479 away from home. That's hard to do because you'll run 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:56.560 into teams that are mailing it in back to backs. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:01.240 They went one in forty. They probably beat you know, 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:04.879 Portland or the Lakers back then. Yeah, remember back in 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.560 the day, their home court advance, that little, that little 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:11.600 they had with the noise, they would drive Phil Jackson crazy. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:15.880 But they had a fun team. Back then. You had 0:20:15.960 --> 0:20:21.919 to Haja and Bibbie and Lottie dibag see Webb. They 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.600 had some good teams. They had a window where well, 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.360 you show them Lakers in there, and Portland is good 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:33.480 too that they got screwed in one game big time. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.679 All right, your phone calls coming up. I got Brady fans, 0:20:36.880 --> 0:20:39.560 Patriot fans. They want to give me their thoughts on 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:42.880 all this.
