5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: think Fritz to be in a little bit later on

Speaker 1: add your voice to the program. Eight seven seven three

Speaker 1: handle a DP show Peter King will join us. Coming

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: up in a little bit, we'll check in with Tom

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Verducci Fox Sports about the baseball situation that's going on.

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: MLB will meet today with team owners on a conference

15
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: called to discuss plans for the upcoming season, after a

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: weekend of no progress in talks with the union. I

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: will say this, when things are quiet, that's when I'm encouraged,

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: because it feels like anytime something happens with Major League Baseball,

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: it's leaked to the media. Nothing came out this weekend.

20
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: Maybe nothing happened, but nothing was leaked. So we'll talk

21
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: to Verducci about this. With the clock ticking on Major

22
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: League Baseball, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made a strong statement

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: on Friday night. He said the NFL was wrong not

24
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: to let its players protest. In the past, he did

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: not invoke the name Colin Kaepernick. Now, For some people,

26
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: Goodell hit the right notes. Others said it was too little,

27
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: too late. Others just don't agree with this sentiment. Words matter,

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: especially now, So it's not wise to dismiss the commissioner's comments,

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,759
Speaker 1: but their true meaning will be revealed by the league's

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: actions in the coming weeks, coming months, and coming years.

31
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: When football does return, there's a pretty good chance you're

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: going to have a lot of players who are going

33
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: to protest. Future Hall of Famer Adrian Peterson already said

34
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that he would take a knee during the national anthem.

35
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: We'll see how the NFL reacts after this offseason. Kaepernick

36
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: first protested the anthem in twenty sixteen. It was during

37
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: the anthem, not protesting the anthem itself. NFL had trouble

38
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: coming up with a consistent plan back then. Felt like

39
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the owners were in, they were out, they were sort

40
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: of on the fence. They weren't sure what the plan

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: was going to be. In just a couple of months, though,

42
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: we're going to find out just how much their stands

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: has changed on topics that have deeply divided our nation.

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: The Commissioner's statement is just the beginning of a new

45
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: chapter in an NFL storyline that everyone is going to

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: be watching very closely. Here is the Commissioner, Roger Goodell,

47
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: his statement that he unleashed on Friday afternoon. It has

48
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: been a difficult time for our country, in particular black

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: people in our country. First Mike and Doosis, families of

50
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: George Floyd, Brehanna Taylor, Ahmad Harbor, and all the families

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: who living dirt police brutality. We the National Football League,

52
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: condemn racism in the systematic oppression of black people. We

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not

54
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak

55
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: out and peacefully protests. We the National Football League, believe

56
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: black lives matter. I personally protest with you and want

57
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: to be part of the much needed change in this country.

58
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: With without black players, there would be no National Football League,

59
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and the protests around the country are emblematic of the

60
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: centuries of silence, inequality, and oppression of black players, coaches, fans,

61
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: and staff. We are listening. I am listening, and I

62
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: will be reaching out to players who have raised their

63
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: voices and others on how we can improve and go

64
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: forward for a better and more united NFL family. That's

65
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: the commissioner on Friday, late afternoon. The President of the

66
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 1: United States at eleven fifty four East Coast time last night,

67
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: he sent out a tweet. Could it be even remotely

68
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: possible that in Roger Goodell's rather interesting statement of peace

69
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: and reconciliation he was intimating that it would now be

70
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: okay for the players to kneel, kneel in capital letters,

71
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: or not to stand from the national anthem, thereby disrespecting

72
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: our country and our flag. So that's from the President

73
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: late last night. A lot of reaction to this. I

74
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: do think that this is a reaction by the commissioner

75
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL to Drew Brees saying, hey, I apologize.

76
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: This wasn't about a protest of the anthem. It was

77
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 1: a protest during the anthem. Yahoo's Dan Wetzel had a

78
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: column that said, if this is real, then it's a

79
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: clear sign the NFL believes public sentiment on the issue

80
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: of anthem protests, specifically in social justice in general, has

81
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: dramatically shifted. This isn't the NFL leading. The NFL never leads.

82
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: This is the NFL following where it believes the money

83
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: will be, if not immediately, then over the next couple

84
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: of decades. Flags, American or otherwise tend to show which

85
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: way the wind is blowing. That's from Dan Wetzel. I

86
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: do think that the commissioner, after hearing and reading what

87
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: Drew Brees had to say, then reacted to that and

88
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: almost as if you could say, let's ride Drew Brees's

89
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: coattails on this. I don't know if this is the

90
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 1: NFL saying let's get out in front of this. I

91
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: do think it was a reaction to Drew Brees, who

92
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: took the courage to say I was wrong about this.

93
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: I'm all in with this with my teammates. And this

94
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: was not a protest of the flag. It was a

95
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: protest during the ceremony itself. All right, well it's staying

96
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 1: with us for a while whether you like it or not.

97
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: And try not to politicize this. But this is about

98
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: does Colin Kaepernick get a chance. Hugh Jackson, the former

99
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's head coach, came out and said, hey, we

100
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: wanted to bring him in back in twenty seventeen, which

101
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he did. It feels like, you know,

102
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: when we talk about Russell Wilson, you'll get this, Yeah,

103
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: we're thinking about drafting him. Like how many teams were

104
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: thinking about drafting h but everybody had their chance a

105
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: few times through. Yeah, we're thinking about drafting Russell Wilson. Okay,

106
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: Seattle did, nobody else did. Now it feels like, hey,

107
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: we're thinking about bringing in Colin Kaepernick. Well, Hugh Jackson

108
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,839
Speaker 1: said that it just didn't work out. Obviously, those things

109
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: do have to work from a finance draft, whatever all

110
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: that is, and it just and that wasn't my decision.

111
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: But he was asked about this in twenty seventeen and

112
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: he said, we really haven't discussed Colin. There are other

113
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: players at this point that we've had a lot of

114
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: conversations about to see if we can put them on

115
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: our team. Not saying it won't come up later on.

116
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: You have to exhaust everything, but at this point he

117
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: has come up. Keep in mind the Browns they drafted

118
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: Deshaun Kaiser in round two out of Notre Dame. They

119
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson with the first

120
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, but Hugh Jackson in August

121
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: to twenty seventeen made it clear he didn't want any

122
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: anthem protest on his team. Maybe I had interest in

123
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, but I don't think you could have Colin

124
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: Kaepernick and not have some kind of anthem protest there.

125
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: But maybe it's revisionist history. Maybe Hugh Jackson did want him,

126
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: but history shows that at the time doesn't sound like

127
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: that he wanted Colin Kaepernick. You're starting to at least

128
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: get the feeld. Mark Maski, a great NFL reporter for

129
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: the Washington Post, said, feels like there's growing sentiment of

130
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: a team bringing in Colin Kaepernick. All right, if I'm

131
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, that feels like tokenism. I haven't thrown a football,

132
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: haven't played, Like why am I good now? And I

133
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: wasn't good last year the year before the year before that.

134
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: And he doesn't want to come in and be a

135
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: backup quarterback. You don't want your backup quarterback to be

136
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: larger than your starting quarterback, and that would be the

137
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: case in most situations. I thought Baltimore was going to

138
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: be a landing spot, but they got RG three. I

139
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: thought Seattle might be a spot there for him. If

140
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm Colin Kaepernick and somebody's going to offer me basically

141
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: what they offered Jameis Winston, I'm not going to come back.

142
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: I want to come back to play. I want to

143
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: come back to start. I don't want to come back

144
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: because somebody says, hey, let's play nice now with Colin Kaepernick.

145
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: Can give me him a chance. Plus, he hasn't played,

146
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: so the chances are at his age, what is he

147
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: thirty two, thirty three? How good is he going to

148
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: be having not played for a couple of years. This

149
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,719
Speaker 1: is a story that's staying now. Yeah, Patrick Mahomes who

150
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: got involved in this, and I think the commissioner probably

151
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: his ears perked up a little bit when Patrick Mahomes

152
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: attached his name to this. Let's do something now, and

153
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: let's continue to do things. The NFL be involved, be

154
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: all involved, stay involved with this. And once you have

155
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes involved in this, and that's the perfect voice

156
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: to add to this. Coming off the Super Bowl, his

157
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: mother is white, his father is black. He's a great leader,

158
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: great teammate, says all the right things, he's a wonderful player.

159
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: He's the face of the future of the NFL. And

160
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: I think that the commissioner heard that and certainly echoed

161
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: those sentiments there. But we move forward, at least we

162
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: try to move forward with this and the commissioner taking

163
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: the first step. He did not. I don't know if

164
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: because of the lawsuit, the collusion lawsuit, that the commissioner

165
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: couldn't say Colin Kaepernick's name, but you know, and they

166
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: may not be able to say each other's names publicly

167
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: because of the lawsuit or that it was settled. And

168
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: what's the language in there. I don't know, but the

169
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: commissioner did not say Colin Kaepernick's name. Now, maybe was

170
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: by design, maybe it was accidental, Maybe you wanted to

171
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: talk in generalities not in specifics. But the fallout is there. Man,

172
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: you go all the way to the White House with

173
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: the President now with you looking at the commissioner and

174
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: got him in his crosshairs of saying so you're saying

175
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: that you're going to now side with the protesters. Now,

176
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if the NFL looks at this and

177
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: then we haven't heard from the owners, by the way,

178
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: because that's interesting as well from what some great NFL

179
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 1: reporting has pointed out, he didn't clear that video with owners,

180
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to Peter King about that because the

181
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: owners voices are really important in this as well, because

182
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 1: that's the individual bosses for these teams. Commissioner doesn't govern

183
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: the individual teams. The owner does. And the question is

184
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: which owner is going to take a chance on Colin Kaepernick.

185
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: And I started to think about this when I was

186
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: driving in today. Who would have thought that we would

187
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: be going Who's going to get a job sooner? Colin

188
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: Kaepernick or Cam Newton? And I think, believe it or not,

189
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick might get a chance before Cam Newton because

190
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: we don't know about Cam right now, and Cam wants

191
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: to be a starter. I don't know what Colin Kaepernick

192
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: wants to do, But this is completely different. If you're

193
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: looking at apples and oranges, you know Colin Kaepernick by

194
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: all accounts, is I'm guessing healthy. He had shoulder surgery

195
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: years ago. We don't know about Cam Newton, but are

196
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: you gonna bring in Cam? He doesn't strike me as

197
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 1: a backup or willing to be a backup? Does Colin

198
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: Kaepernick want to come in and go, I'll be a backup?

199
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know. If I'm Colin Kaepernick, I think

200
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm more powerful by not playing football instead of going

201
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: in and holding a clipboard. Unless you're going to get

202
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: a real chance to compete for the job, then I

203
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: don't know why you would do that, because it feels

204
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: like that your voice would be softened here. They maybe

205
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: let others, Maybe let others in the NFL take that step.

206
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes obviously step forward, to Shaun Watson step forward.

207
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: But it's not just on the black players. It's on everybody.

208
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: It's on all of us. It's on the white stars

209
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: as well. And I think if you have that, then

210
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: I think ownership will probably fall in line as well.

211
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: And if the owners had done the right thing and

212
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe let these players say what they needed to say

213
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: back then, we wouldn't be here now. If the NFL

214
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: had jumped in and said how do we make this better?

215
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: We wouldn't be here today. We just sort of had

216
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: this quietly silently dragging along. It was there. The question

217
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: is when was it going to come back up? Again

218
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: and it's here front and center. This program is brought

219
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,000

Speaker 1: at legal zoom dot com. Well, so much for easing

223
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: into a week here after the weekend, Yes, PAULI, I

224
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: would think in this after what you said about Kaepernick

225
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: from a football we're talking, I'm talking about the football

226
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 1: fall out of this. It's mid it's early June. From

227
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: a timing standpoint, for Colin Kaepernick to return to the NFL,

228
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: this could be football wise, good timing camp's open up

229
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: in six weeks ish, he could get an offer from

230
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: any of the teams that are interested in him. Is

231
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: there any chance it could be also a great thing

232
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: for him if he did play in the NFL this

233
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: year in any role, almost not as a conquering hero,

234
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: because that's trivializing it, but almost like look, look who's back,

235
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: Look who's here? And he because he doesn't talk a lot,

236
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: he does not do a lot of interviews. I don't

237
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: know what he thinks about this. He has too much

238
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: to lose because we have the image of Colin Kaepernick

239
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: being a dual threat. In today's NFL, we're looking for

240
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: the dual threat. And you know, he was Josh Allen

241
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: before Josh Allen and even a better version of that.

242
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 1: Josh Allen aspires to be like Colin Kaepernick. But I

243
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: think I think that he has too much to lose.

244
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: If he comes back and then he plays and doesn't

245
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: play well, then people say, yeah, see I told you yeah.

246
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Go back and look at all the excuses why people

247
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: didn't want Colin Kaepernick. The Niners got rid of Colin Kaepernick.

248
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: They said didn't fit the system. And then he was

249
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: too expensive. C J. Beethard and Brian Hoyer for your

250
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: one in fifteen forty nine ers. Okay, whatever your reasons are, Okay,

251
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: hopefully they were legitimate football reasons. There was talk that

252
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: he was on a new diet. People didn't want him

253
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: because he was on a new diet. I don't know

254
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: if he can play. There were moments where he was

255
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: brilliant and then there are other moments where he was

256
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: really inconsistent and looked raw. I don't know if team

257
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: is going to go, that's our quarterback. Look around the league,

258
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: who's gonna say, let's bring him in and it's been

259
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: a four year layoff here. You can throw football in

260
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: a practice field, you can be in shape, it doesn't matter.

261
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Is somebody going to give him a chance? Maybe? But

262
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: if I'm Colin Kaepernick, I would really have to look

263
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: hard at this and say, is that what I want

264
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: to come back for? Everything that I've done, this is

265
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: what I'm going to come back for. Am I going

266
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: to get a chance to play? Am I just going

267
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: to be on the sidelines? And then what's that sideline

268
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: going to look like? Yeah? Point yes. But I'm wondering,

269
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: because again we don't hear from much. Is there still

270
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: a football player in there? Too? He says, boy boy,

271
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: I used to love this. I used to be really

272
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: good at this. I was the next guy for a

273
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: while before he cooled off or had injuries, whatever you

274
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: want to say. But I wonder if there's a football

275
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: player in him that I know that's gonna be second

276
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: on the poll of what's important. But I'd be fasting

277
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: to know how much football plays into it. And it's psyche.

278
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure a football player in there. That football player

279
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: probably never leaves these guys, but I think at some

280
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: point you move on and say this is my calling here.

281
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: I think he understands his voice is louder by not

282
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: playing than if he did play, because now we're going

283
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: to attach his words to how well he plays, and

284
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: if he doesn't play well, then it feels like he's

285
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: a little bit diminished. But hey, if he gets a chance, great,

286
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: If he doesn't, then we move on and hopefully, hopefully

287
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: we come to some kind of feeling that's a little

288
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: bit better than we've had it where it still feels

289
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: fractured here. You know, you just have people who are

290
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: going to look at this the way the President of

291
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: the United States does. I certainly understand that you're going

292
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: to have other people now look at this, maybe with

293
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: a little more clarity from the other side, and I

294
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: certainly understand that as well. We'll talk to Peter King

295
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,239
Speaker 1: about this, a few other things football related. Tom Berducci

296
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: on Major League Baseball, Will we have it? When will

297
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: we have it? And is there a chance we're not

298
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: going to have any baseball this summer? Your phone calls

Speaker 1: here in a moment. Blake and Alabama joins us. Blake,

321
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: what's on your mind this morning? Adp six foot two sixty.

322
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: I had a question and I was wondering, if you

323
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: think it might work, what if we gave our athletes

324
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: an opportunity aside from the anthem, to kneel and give

325
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: them their own segment to peacefully protest. That way, they

326
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 1: get all their recognition that they would like for their card,

327
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: and yet we can still respect the flag because they've

328
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: said it's not about the flag anyway. What are your

329
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: thoughts as long as it's the player's choice instead of

330
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: the NFL being you know, big brother here. You know,

331
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: because that's what happened a couple of years ago. You know,

332
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: the NFL didn't know how to handle this, The owners

333
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: didn't know how to handle this. And if you're letting

334
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: the players decide what is important, then I'm okay with that.

335
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Peter King, NBC Sports dot Com Football

336
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Morning in America must read every Monday morning. His column

337
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Anger Apologies in Video has gone viral inside the three

338
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: days that sparked major shift in the NFL. Peter, how

339
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: are we and I'm doing well? How about yourself? Well,

340
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: I'm trying to sort this out with what has transpired

341
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: here over the last four or five days with the

342
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: NFL starting. I guess with Drew Brees's apology, subsequent apology,

343
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: and then another apology, the commissioner then putting out the video,

344
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: and then the President tweeting last night, so where do

345
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 1: you think the dust is settled? So far? Here? On

346
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Monday morning before ten am, you know, we'll see you know,

347
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: right now. Basically, I think the biggest thing about what

348
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: happened in the last few days is that Roger Goodell,

349
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: who despite what people think, does listen to people. Doesn't

350
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: always act on what people host to him say. But

351
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell listened. He listened to the voices of twenty

352
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: players led by Michael Thomas, he listened to some rogue employees.

353
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: And it wasn't just Brendan Mentor, the twenty seven year

354
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: old social media video producer sitting in his apartment in

355
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 1: la and working at his kitchen table and putting together

356
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: one of the most impactful player videos we've ever seen

357
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: that already in four days, got twenty one million views

358
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: across you know, all kinds of platforms. It isn't just that.

359
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 1: It's also the fact that Dan, when Roger Goodell had

360
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 1: a town hall last Friday, an employee who's been with

361
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: the NFL for four months, a guy named Jack Walker,

362
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:55,959
Speaker 1: a former walk on football player at BC, basically appealed

363
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: to the commissioner to let's be the sport we were

364
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven when we helped America come out

365
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: of it. Let's be the sport we were in Katrina

366
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: when we helped America get well, We're not that sport

367
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 1: right now. And I think that really hit Roger Goodell,

368
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: the thirty one year old black employee, along with many

369
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: other black employees on Zoom video conferences a lot like

370
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: the one we're having right now, basically said we are

371
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: not being heard and you were not listening to your players.

372
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: And Michael Thomas, Tyrnn Matthew and the others. Jarvis Landry,

373
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Junior looked right at Roger Goodell and said

374
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: you have to listen to us, and he did. The

375
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: commissioner puts out a statement, and I think you were

376
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: reporting that the owners didn't know that he was putting

377
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: out this statement. We haven't heard from the owners yet,

378
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: is that correct, Pete, No, I have not read anything.

379
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: I did not report that, Dan. I think someone else did.

380
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: I don't know who it was, but but honestly, you

381
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 1: know at this point. It isn't that that doesn't matter.

382
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: But Roger Goodell was not going to get on the

383
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: phone with thirty two owners and say, hey, what do

384
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: you think I'm thinking of doing this? He had to

385
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: do this, There's no question about it. The big question, now,

386
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: was I posed in my column, is really what's next?

387
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: What are the owners going to do? What's Jerry Jones

388
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: going to do? You know what happened the last time

389
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: when there was a threat for people kneeling, there was

390
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 1: an implicit, uh, you know, unimplied uh you know, statement

391
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 1: from Jones and implied he never said this directly, but

392
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: don't you dare kneel on the sidelines of my stadium.

393
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: So now we're going to have to see and look,

394
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: I think there's no question that players are going to

395
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: kneel perhaps end mass uh you know this this fall

396
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: at games. I mean, there's there's three months between now

397
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: an opening day, so we'll see what happens. A lot

398
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: could happen, but I think what has happened in the

399
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: last few days is that the players that flex their

400
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: muscles in the NFL listen, Well, we got six weeks

401
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: to training camp. Whatever training camp is going to look

402
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: like and I was reading Mark Maski in the Washington

403
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: Post saying that there maybe there's a little bit more

404
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: of a sentiment or feel. I don't I'm paraphrasing here

405
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: of maybe Colin Kaepernick gets a true chance. Now, have

406
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: you heard anything about anybody maybe opening their eyes their

407
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: doors to Colin Kaepernick here? No, it wouldn't shock me.

408
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: But I don't expect it to happen, and I don't know.

409
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: All I can do is have a gut feeling on this. Dan,

410
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: if you were Colin Kaepernick and got the opportunity to

411
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: be Jameis Winston or to be Andy Dalton and to

412
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 1: go some where and be a backup, No one right

413
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: now is going to hand Colin Kaepernick a starting job.

414
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: If you had a chance to go somewhere and be

415
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: a backup and probably sit around for the majority of

416
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: the year, do you want to do that? And maybe

417
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: he will want to do that, and maybe he'll do

418
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: it to make a point, but I would I doubt

419
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: it what happened, But I have no information either way

420
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: on it. I said the same thing about fifteen minutes ago.

421
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: I just can't imagine that sort of all this cloud

422
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: he's built up as a voice or his actions, and

423
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,239
Speaker 1: then you go in and you're a backup quarterback. You know,

424
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: it feels like he's more powerful in what he wants

425
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: by not being a backup quarterback in the NFL. Dan,

426
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: the CEO of Twitter just handed him a check for

427
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: three million dollars to continue his work to educate young

428
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: people in his no year rights camps and on somebody else.

429
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 1: I forget who gave him a million dollars to do that,

430
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: So you know he's And again, I have not talked

431
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: to Colin Kaepernick in four years, so how would I know?

432
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: But I think it's unlikely that he would take a

433
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: backup quarterback job in the NFL. But we'll see. Talking

434
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: to Peter King, the column is Football Morning in America,

435
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is apology. Would you make of that? Totally

436
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: not surprising. He's a team guy. We'll find out how

437
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: serious he is and whether indeed he's going to stand

438
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: with his teammates he says he will. And Dan, as

439
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: I wrote my column today, there is no one in

440
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: the thirty six years that I've covered the NFL who

441
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: has done more for his adopted community than Drew Brees

442
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 1: is done for New Orleans. Nobody, it's not even close.

443
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: So I think everybody's a little bit too quick to

444
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: throw Drew Brees off the cliff. I think you have

445
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: to give him a chance. And whatever players think they're

446
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: going to think, okay, but I think you've got to

447
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: give him a chance to make this right. Let me

448
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: talk some football here. As of now, the structure of

449
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: you know, offseason workouts, I mean, is everything on schedule

450
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: from what you've learned of this training camp and the

451
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: season starting on time? Yeah? I mean I talk to

452
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: Alan Sills, the NFL's medical director, the other day, and

453
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: he said, everything right now, as of right now, is

454
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: on course to happen the way it normally would. Now,

455
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: eleven teams won't be going away to training camp. All

456
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: training camps will be held at the home facilities. Will

457
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: see what kind of bubble can be built. Will media

458
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: be able to cover training camps? Will they be the

459
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: normal kind of training camps that they always have been?

460
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: Will there be preseason games? You know? And those are

461
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: the things we just don't know right now. The one

462
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: thing I thought still still said this on Adam Schefter's

463
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: podcast last week. I thought it was a great point.

464
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: You three months ago. I mean, think of us three

465
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: months ago. Three months ago, you and I were still

466
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: going out to dinner as normal. And the first game

467
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: of the regular season is three months from this Wednesday.

468
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: So a lot has happened in three months, and a

469
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: lot can happen in the next three months. But all

470
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 1: you can do is go by what you think right now.

471
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: In the NFL, I think in adopting these positions, these

472
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: new jobs, like infection control officers in each organization, every

473
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: facility is going to be spick and span. The bubbles

474
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 1: will be built and we'll just see how it goes.

475
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: What's your biggest question going into this season football wise?

476
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: Will the disease come back? You know, will the second

477
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: wave of the disease ramrod itself into the United States

478
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: on December tenth and force the NFL to not play football.

479
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: That's my biggest question. I think they're probably going to

480
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: start the season, and I think at one point or another,

481
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: a big, big star is going to be held out

482
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: of a game because he tests positive. Maybe there will

483
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: be five of those on one team and that team

484
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 1: can't play this week. But I think the overwriting, overarching

485
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: question is will the second wave of the disease detour

486
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: the NFL season in Week twelve, fourteen sixteen, what do

487
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: you think the NFL thinks about the month of February

488
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: of maybe extending the playoffs or the week before the

489
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: super Bowl to get that super Bowl towards the end

490
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: of February. Basically, let's own another month. Is that part

491
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: of the I mean, it's logical, it's certainly, you know,

492
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: they can play the super Bowl any one of those

493
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: Sundays in February in Tampa. I'm sure they could probably

494
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: play it in March two. But you know, again, those

495
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: are the kind of things Dan, that I just think

496
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: nobody can know right now, because you know, as Anthony

497
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Frouchie told me a month ago, the deceit, the disease

498
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: is going to make these decisions. Peter, thanks for joining us.

499
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 1: Appreciate all the words in your column. We appreciate your

500
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: time as well. Thank you. Dan. That's Peter King, NBC

501
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: Sports dot Com, NFL column. Is Football Morning in America?

502
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: Mclove And what kind of poll question are we're gonna

503
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: go with today? So I actually put up a pole

504
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: to get a consensusy oh, if you had to rank

505
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: the commissioners, how would you do it just to see

506
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: what people would say. So I said, who's the best commissioner? Goodell,

507
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: I know this is trouble, but this is not your opinion.

508
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: This is the people's opinions. Okay, Goodell, Bettman, who everyone loves,

509
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: just being sarcastic, Data White. I'm gonna put on there

510
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: for clicks, Rob Manfred and Adam Silver. Oh boy, the

511
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: best commissioner is a runaway so far. Yeah it's Adam Silver.

512
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah he's winning the poll. Yes, but that's who. Second second,

513
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: I was gonna go Dana White. Okay, I don't think

514
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: his fighters would agree with that. We've had some mcconnor McGregor.

515
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: He retired again, third time in four years. They're starting

516
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: to complain about their pay. I don't know what the

517
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 1: split is. I read something where it's like eighty twenty

518
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: the twenty going to the fighters, because you do have

519
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: stars in that sport, but it feels like some of

520
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: those stars are saying, hey, I'm going to retire. I'm

521
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: not gonna put up with this. Dana White does his

522
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: job for the fans. He may not do his job

523
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: for his fighters, but he controls that schedule. The interesting

524
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: part with UFC is you're not able to get fighters

525
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: from around the world, and you're gonna be burning through

526
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: these fighters that you have here in the United States

527
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: of trying to get them to fight in how many

528
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: times you're gonna get them to fight. But Connor McGregor

529
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: just retired. There's been a couple of guys I think

530
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 1: that tired over the weekend. And having covered boxing for years,

531
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: nobody ever retires. I was at Sugar Ray Leonard's first retirement.

532
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: I think he had six of them. Yeah, I lost.

533
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: You know when you show up for a retirement announcement

534
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: and you forget how many retirements it's been. I was

535
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: there when Sugar Ray he had the detached retina and

536
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: held this press conference and it was in Baltimore. I

537
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: remember going to that and then all of a sudden,

538
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: you just, you know, a fighter just waits for the

539
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: phone to ring. You know, Tyson's talking about coming back

540
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: of Vander Holyfield trying to come back. Boxers don't retire,

541
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: It just the phone doesn't ring anymore. Yeah. Mclovin, I

542
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: know this might be different than Sugar I love your

543
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 1: story about how he used to go to all the

544
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: boxing events because they had the best food. Yeah. The

545
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: press conferences. Yeah, that's sad. Well, I didn't make any

546
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: money and I did cover the sport. I mean, I

547
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: was very fortunate at the time. I worked at CNN

548
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: in New York and boxing was big at the Garden.

549
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: But I remember going to the Cat Skills to cover

550
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, boxers who were training. Jerry Cooney, Uh, Mike

551
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: Tyson was around, Uh, Marvin Hagler, Alexis Argueo, Aaron pryor

552
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: Vito ana Firmo. There were just so many great fights

553
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: back then, and it was wonderful. But there were times

554
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: when I would go to a boxing press conference because

555
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: I just remember they had really good food. I think

556
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: it's either Bob Aaron or Don King. Wanted to know

557
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: where my camera crew was one time, and I said, well,

558
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, CNN, we're always covering news. Hopefully they're gonna

559
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: be here while I'm I had. They had shrimp that

560
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: were they were as big as bluegill like it was like,

561
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, like a carp and I went, h yeah,

562
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be here soon none. Yeah, mcle did you

563
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: bring like a notebook or a tape reporter just to

564
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: like as a pop Oh yeah, yeah, oh, absolutely, yeah.

565
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: I don't remember what year was, it's probably oh five.

566
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: We got to go with our affiliate down in New York.

567
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: We went to see Andrew Glatta fights somebody, and we

568
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: had seats. I think we're row three. Was I ran Barkley?

569
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that Hassim Rockman. See Rockman fought in the first

570
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: fight and we were then he sat next to me.

571
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: He came back up and sat with it. So we

572
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: have like six seats. We're all sitting there, the guys

573
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: from the show, and there's two seats to my right

574
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: and Hassim Rockman. He knocks them dude out, and then

575
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Golatta is getting ready to fight, and all a sudden

576
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: here comes Rockman and his girlfriend or wife and they

577
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: sit next to us. I'm like, weren't you just in

578
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: the ring like eight minutes? Like Galata get hit in

579
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: the glattas Yes, okay, that fight? Yeah, all right, So

580
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: that's the poll question, who is the best commissioner? I

581
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 1: have that other side one that's a little controversial. Then

582
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: we'll take a break and then we'll come back. I

583
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 1: got a play of the day. I'm guessing Rob Manfred

584
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: is last on this did Gary Bettman actually that Manfred

585
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: and Bettman have not ready to shut to vote yet,

586
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: so they're tied at zero point zero. Why can't blame

587
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 1: Gary for anything? He hadn't done anything. Isn't he one

588
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: of those commissioners at fans boo when he brings out

589
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: the cup just out of tradition? It's yeah, but they

590
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: boo Roger Goodell as well. I just never know whether

591
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: they don't like Gary Bettman because Roger Goodell is front

592
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: and center with the most popular important sport that we have,

593
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 1: Gary Bettman. You'd think those fans would be like, hey,

594
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: we're just happy somebody wants to be the commissioner here.

595
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: We'll take a break Play of the day coming up next,

596
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: and your phone calls as well. Each seven seven three

597
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: DP show, we will talk some baseball, tom Berducci, I

598
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: hate being a pessimist here, but I'm just trying to

599
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: figure out the timeframe of Major League Baseball. Everybody coming

600
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: back and where are they going to be playing? I

601
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: know that they have to be the infrastructure has to

602
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: be discussed, has to be probably settled on here really soon.

603
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: And then you still have the money issues. Boy, got

604
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do and not a lot

605
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: of time to do it. Take a break back after this.

613
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: me today? Yeah? What up? Dpum? I got a best

614
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 1: and worse for you? Okay? Um. My best is a

615
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: large percentage of the Denver Broncos going to peacefully protests.

616
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 1: I think that's a sign of things to come for

617
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: other NFL teams and players. Well, you all said John

618
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: Elway going with them. You know, Vic Fangio, the head coach,

619
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 1: went and went them as well. I think when you

620
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: go together, that's when we view it as progress or

621
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: you feel like there is a little bit more inertia,

622
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 1: that we're pushing it forward. And Elway, you know, leading

623
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: or at least part of that protest I thought was

624
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: well as Yeah, as a season ticket holder, I'm just

625
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: very happy with what was done there. So but um,

626
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 1: and my worst is it's supposed to snow here in

627
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: breckon Ridge to night. I'm pretty sick now, I can

628
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: tell you that much. So that's not good to get

629
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: snow in June. Don't you live in brecon Ridge because

630
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 1: of the snow? Uh? No, I live here because I

631
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: get paid to live here. I get I have a

632
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: nice job, you know, but it does not involve the

633
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 1: ski industry. So oh okay, well hanging there, car, I mean, yes, yeah,

634
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: so all right, yes mcglov are you buying this Drew

635
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 1: lock hype? It's everywhere about him having a blow sea.

636
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: He's all the weapons there. I have no idea. I mean,

637
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: he does have weapons. And he was one of those

638
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: guys that I think we looked at him as maybe

639
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 1: under the radar. And I watched Missouri football, believe it

640
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: or not, usually a noon game. Somebody had to watch Missouri.

641
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: He would make throws where you'd go wow, and then

642
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: he would make throws where you went, oh wow. He

643
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: got a big, big arm there. But I look, I

644
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: couldn't caro Letts. It feels like when somebody you're not

645
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: quite sure how to describe them, and you say they

646
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: got a big arm. Okay, I'm assuming you have a

647
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 1: pretty good arm to play the position. I want to

648
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: know if you have a feel for the game. Nobody's

649
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: ever talked about Russell Wilson's arm. They don't. They just

650
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: say he knows how to play the game. He's a

651
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 1: feel for the game. He's great when the game is

652
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: on the line. That's what I want to know about

653
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: Drew Locke. You can have a big arm, can you

654
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: play the position? There are a lot of guys who

655
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: have a big arm, but that doesn't mean you can

656
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: play the position. You do have talent around you, But

657
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:49,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what his intangibles are. Yeah, mclub doesn't

658
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hit like more big touchdown passes. And you're right,

659
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: Noah talks about his arm, but he has bombs all

660
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 1: the time. I've never I've never heard somebody go, man,

661
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: you gotta love his arm strength. Does anybody ever say

662
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 1: anything about Deshaun Watson and his arm strength? Now, granted,

663
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes has a great arm, but his ability he has

664
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: he has such a great feel for the game that

665
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: he does have the big arm, But then he has

666
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: really what's important, because if you don't have a feel

667
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: for the game and the intangibles. Then it doesn't matter

668
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 1: how big your arm is. Poll has ever been a

669
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 1: light throwing but gigantic quarterback like six five two thirty.

670
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: But you know what he really Nicholson dimes it down

671
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: the field. It's almost like you have to have one

672
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: with the other. And if you're if you're a shorter

673
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: guy like Russell Wilson, having a huge arm does not

674
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: match the narrative of him being small. I'm trying to

675
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: think of a tall guy that you have one mclovin.

676
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: Mark Wilson by quarterback, Yeah, chipped down the field. I

677
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: remember he was probably really skitty. He had a friendly arm.

678
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 1: I'll bet you Kyler Murray velocity wise is as good

679
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: as probably top five in the league velocity wise, but

680
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: it doesn't match his size. I remember at least one

681
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: scout talked about his arm strength and I went that

682
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: scout has not been next to Kyler Murray because he

683
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: was talking about his lack of arm strength when he

684
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 1: was at the Super Bowl with us and he was

685
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 1: throwing passes to you. And keep in mind, he didn't

686
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 1: want to do anything that day with me, but he

687
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 1: started throwing passes and you can hear a ball and

688
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: you could hear that ball leave his hand. It had

689
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: zip on it. But he's a baseball player. But we

690
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:32,879
Speaker 1: get caught up in that. I don't know if he's

691
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: got the arms. He got the arm strength there. I

692
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: want to know if you have anticipation. I want to

693
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: know if you can throw a receiver. Oh, there's so

694
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: many things that go along with being a great quarterback.

695
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: And Drew Locke gives the ape checks the boxes there

696
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: with what you see, it's the other stuff. How does

697
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: he you know if you give him a play, you

698
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: change the play if he sees coverage Like, those are

699
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 1: the things that can make you from good to great

700
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: and great to Hall of Fame. Yeah, Paul, by the way,

701
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: we are so dopey on this show. We make our

702
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,919
Speaker 1: judgments on quarterbacks based off throwing to mclovin on the

703
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: role set when Joe and why not, I know, but

704
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 1: it's funny that we actually do it. Joe Burrow is

705
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: on set and the first time he threw to mclovin,

706
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: he kind of eased one in and we all went

707
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 1: over flag. Yeah, I wouldn't draft him number one overall.

708
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: And then I said to Joe, I go, you know

709
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: you could let one go on because oh it's okay,

710
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: and then he hummed a few in there. Yeah, I

711
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: think you're right about the height though. Two everyone said

712
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: had a medium to not great arm, and I've watched

713
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: a highlight. He's throwing sixty yards out field time and

714
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,160
Speaker 1: time again. It's Russell Wilson all over. It's height. I know,

715
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 1: I know, height is him. Drew Brees they said didn't

716
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: have a great arm, but he hit a lot of

717
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: long balls. But I guess I don't know. Do they

718
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: all have good arms? In? Are they all? I'm assuming

719
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: you have to have a decent arm to play in

720
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: the NFL, just assuming at that position. It'd be like

721
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: you're a wide receiver and you run a five two.

722
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: He's got great hands, but he can't run fast. Probably

723
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: not going to be a wide receiver here. Hey he

724
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: runs a four three forty. All right, we'll work on

725
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: the hands, all right. Coming up, more phone calls as well.

726
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 1: Best and worst of the weekend. What you saw that

727
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 1: you liked you didn't like? Most touchdown passes that traveled

728
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: more than twenty yards down field last season. M interesting list.

729
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: I'll give that to you. Coming up in a few minutes. Here,

730
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: and we'll check in with Tom Berducci on the major

731
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: League baseball season. One Hour in the Books, Two more

732
