0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna say, Doug, I was gonna say, looking forward to

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the next three hours with you on this show. We

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:47.520
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of stuff to talk about, but I

0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.960
<v Speaker 1>do want to say happy Jackie Robinson Day number two

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>for you. Major League Baseball decided that it would be

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 1>its usually April fifteenth, which is the day he broke

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 1>into the major leagues in nineteen forty seven and broke

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>the colabat area. But they're also doing it today, so

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.239
<v Speaker 1>all the players are wearing number forty two to honor

0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>such a great man. And tonight, Doug, I'll be the

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:14.920
<v Speaker 1>guy who can't wait to watch the Padres and Dodgers

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>down in San Diego weekend series. The Dodgers have set

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>up their rotation with their three best pitchers for a

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>series in Week two of the baseball season against uh

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>the Padres, and somehow Fernando Tatis is expected to play.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember the shoulder popping out ten days ago. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>he's uh is he Riggs or is he Murtog from uh?

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>From Lethal Weapon? I think it was Riggs, right, Mel

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>Gibson's character was Riggs. Somebody looked at up. Somebody looked

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that up. Yeah it was it was Riggs. Do you

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:51.880
<v Speaker 1>know are you were you a Lethal Weapon fan? Yeah?

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I remember that? Tell me what am I missing? Just okay?

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>So he used to Mel Gibson's character was Riggs, Riggs

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>and Riggs get in here? That right? Okay? So uh

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>that was a good suh. It was great. And then

0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>they added Chris Rock and Joe Pesci like it like

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>it really kind of revived the series. Um but but

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you'll blick. But anyway, um uh so anytime they get

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>in the high jinks and Riggs would get tied up,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>or one time he was underwater tied up right in

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.920
<v Speaker 1>order to get out of being tied up. Spoiler alert.

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a twenty five thirty year old movie.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 1>If somebody was going to be like dog ruined the

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:33.279
<v Speaker 1>movie for me, that was uh, he could pop his

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>shoulder out of socket and then pop his shoulder back

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.239
<v Speaker 1>into socket. Of course, it was only it was only

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in case of emergency. Was like that brake glass only

0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>in case of ergency. Only pop your shoulder. D Have

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you ever had your shoulder out? Dog? Real quick? Have

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>your shoulder thinks? Like I think so, you know, Like,

0:04:52.120 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>but I've never had it to the point where somebody

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 1>goes like, come here, bite down this piece of wood,

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, like pops it back in. But I thought

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.800
<v Speaker 1>he was going to be out for upla months. I'm

0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>just shocked he took batting practice in Pittsburgh earlier this week.

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm shocked he's playing and I don't And if they

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 1>were playing to Cleveland Indians this weekend, would he be

0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.520
<v Speaker 1>playing it? No? But but they hate but they hate

0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>the it's Arrivalry's good. Baseball absolutely needs it, absolutely positively

0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>needs it real quick. On Jackie Robinson, like yes, there's

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot to him which is amazing, right, Like he

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>was a great tennis player. People forget so when I

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>grew up in southern California and he went to John

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Muir High School in Pasadena, and when I was a freshman,

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>we played against what I thought was the best basketball

0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>player ever at John Muir High School, which was Jock Vaughan.

0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>He played against him. Of them, we ended his career

0:05:42.800 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>in the I think the CI have quarterfinals or whatever. Anyway,

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Jock was amazing, amazing before he went on to him

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>And of course now he's an assistant with an associate

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>head coach with the Brooklyn Nets. What turns out then

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>it was like no, no, no no, Actually, Stacy Agman is well.

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought was the greatest modern athlete John Mure High School.

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Stacy Agman was All state in three different sports, and

0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:08.360
<v Speaker 1>they're like, now, nobody is going to be the greatest athlete.

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 1>And John Murrhusk was like why, Like Jackie Robinson went there,

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Like okay, so he's a great baseball player, like no football, basketball, track, baseball,

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and tennis. And then he went to junior college and

0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>like you know, like now our feelings of junior college are, well,

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you only go there if you're under recruit you have

0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:27.479
<v Speaker 1>no grades. Like that wasn't the case. It was just

0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it was just different. And then of course, you know,

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.160
<v Speaker 1>he was an All American in three sports at UCLA,

0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>so he was in addition to and he served in

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the military, So there really is zero boxes that he

0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>didn't check. And I don't think anyone who's a reasonable

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>human being who knows anything about history, shouldn't say like, hey,

0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can go from two days to a

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>whole week, it doesn't really matter. He's that impactful human

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.920
<v Speaker 1>being on the sports world, no doubt. And what baseball

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.800
<v Speaker 1>does for him. And you know this, Doug, being a

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 1>former athlete, to have your number retired throughout you know,

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 1>a whole sport tells you your importance and your place

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 1>in history. And nineteen forty seven, I could just that's

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty some odd years before the Civil Rights movement. Just

0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>think about what America was like in nineteen forty seven

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 1>and what he had to endure. And if you've ever

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 1>seen did you watch forty two the movie? Yeah? Yeah,

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Well just the scene where he's in Philadelphia and the

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>manager is going off on him and call them all

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>kinds of names. It was very tough to watch, and

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I could imagine, you know, what it was like for him.

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>And not only did he persevere through that, Doug, he

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>became the Rookie of the of the year. And back

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:45.160
<v Speaker 1>then there weren't American League and National League. There was

0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>just one Rookie of the Year. And think about this,

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the only black guy in Major League Baseball. All the

0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>writers who voted for the awards were white. All the

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 1>fans you know, you know, basically or whatever and all everybody,

0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and this guy Persevere played well enough to earn that

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>award or I think it's an incredible story. It is.

0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Don Parker, Doug Gottlieb, Dan and the dan Ats are

0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>off for one more day back on Monday. This is

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the Day and Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio.

0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's get to let's get to something that

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>happened yesterday. Josh Fields. Josh Fields, I'm going back to

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma state history. Quarterback course went on to play in

0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Major League Baseball for the White Sox. You look at

0:08:25.720 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 1>at what's happening with the quarterback position as we get

0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>ready for the draft. We all know Trevor Lawrence is

0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 1>going one. It seems it seems like a foregone conclusion.

0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>We know who's going number two? With? Was Zach Wilson?

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>You okay with That's that's what everybody's talking about. That

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, that's what they're going to. That's what they're

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna pick and go on from there. Okay, So Trevor

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence one, Zach Wilson two, and then the question becomes,

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.640
<v Speaker 1>what do the San Francisco forty nine ers do at three?

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Do they go Justin Fields? Do they go Trade Lance?

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Do they go Mac Jones? Of course, he had his

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>second pro day, and for people who aren't really following

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>this thing, you're like, well, what he screw up in

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.199
<v Speaker 1>his first pro day? Now, it's not like Lonzo So

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.320
<v Speaker 1>Lonzo Ball had a bad individual workout with the Lakers

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and then they had a second individual work I was like, no, no,

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>let me fix that. Come to this other gym and

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll I'll come work that. That's not what happened with

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields. What happened Justin Fields is there are no

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 1>individual workouts. You can't do private workouts for a team

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:29.240
<v Speaker 1>by rule this year because of COVID. So you have

0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>a second pro day, but you really invite one team

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>and it becomes a de facto private private workout, And

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>so we're kind of left with the what will Kyle

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan do? Apparently Justin Field's doing everything in his power

0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>to be that number three selection, even switching his when

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he takes a snap under center. I guess Kyle Fields.

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Shanahan is a a nitpicker. On having your right

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>foot back. He's always had his left foot back, so

0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:02.880
<v Speaker 1>he switched from his left to his right back to

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the front back anyway. Um so if if it's you Rob,

0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>what's your take on number three the quarterback who the

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Niners are gonna take? Yeah, it doesn't sound like they're

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>going to take Justin Fields. And I guess that's where

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm curious about him and whether or not Doug

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:26.920
<v Speaker 1>it's fair that uh, you know, Ohio State quarterbacks have

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a bad rap that that, and I'm Joe Burrow excluded,

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>right because uh, he looks like the real deal. I

0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>know he got hurt, but he looked like he left

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State in order to play right. But I mean

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>they I wouldn't count well, he came from There's what

0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I was saying, right, right, But but so I'm not

0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:50.120
<v Speaker 1>counting him. But Dwayne Haskins, right, was the let the

0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the latest guy who went to Washington and maybe he'll

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:58.560
<v Speaker 1>revive his career, uh you know, uh in New Orleans,

0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>in New Orleans where yeah, oh, Pittsburgh. I'm sorry, I'm

0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:06.880
<v Speaker 1>thinking of Pittsburgh. But but uh, there's just a long

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:11.319
<v Speaker 1>list of guys, uh that just haven't seemed to pan out. Uh,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Troy Smith, right, Terrell Prior, Cardell Jones. Everybody thought, remember

0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.439
<v Speaker 1>in the championship Game, the Road to the Championship Game,

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>he beat the four best teams in the country. He

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.720
<v Speaker 1>looked like an unbelievable player. Uh. Going back to arch Sleyster,

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>do you remember him? I think he's a fourth overall pick.

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>He had a gambling issue, but he also didn't play

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.559
<v Speaker 1>that well in the NFL. Actually never won a game

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.920
<v Speaker 1>as a starter, which is uh, he was the fourth pick.

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, I just wonder if if Fields isn't going

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.640
<v Speaker 1>to go because he did everything he was supposed to

0:11:46.640 --> 0:11:50.640
<v Speaker 1>do in college, Doug. Uh, So why wouldn't San Francisco

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 1>want him? If if, if they don't pick him, do

0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you think it has something to do with that or

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>do you just think it's that they like uh the

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>other guy Jones? Yeah, Mac, you know what I mean? Like, well, like, look,

0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard to read the te leaves. I was.

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>I was listening to Clay Travis superseded this show, and

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I've seen this online at Bette Rivers uh sports book,

0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 1>which is um that he's now the betting favorite to

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>be that number three pick, But I don't know if

0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that matters. You're right, people in the NFL are saying

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.120
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be mac Jones. There's a lot to it.

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it has anything to do with where

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:23.959
<v Speaker 1>he played. You know, he started his career at Georgia.

0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 1>He was the number one recruit in high school. Um,

0:12:27.720 --> 0:12:30.559
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was, he was a backup. He transfers,

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:34.400
<v Speaker 1>he plays right away, and he was. He was spectacular

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>his first season. This year he was. He was very,

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>very good. And then of course the national semifinal game,

0:12:39.559 --> 0:12:43.559
<v Speaker 1>he basically threw a perfect game. I mean, he was incredible, incredible. Um.

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>But like, look, there's there's obviously some flaws to what

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he does in comparison to what a Trevor Lawrence does.

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.680
<v Speaker 1>What is Zach Wilson knows because he's not really in

0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.720
<v Speaker 1>kind consideration for those top two picks, even though he's

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a profound talent. I don't, I honestly don't care what

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.680
<v Speaker 1>he did in college. We've seen enough great college quarterbacks

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>fall by the wayside. The pros understand it's a it's

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:07.520
<v Speaker 1>a different sport. It might as well be a difference.

0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>They still play with eleven guys on your side and

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>eleven on the other, and its football and its helmets,

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.720
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of a lot of what it takes

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>to be a great NFL quarterback is not a lot

0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>of what it takes necessarily be a college quarterback. My question, though,

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is it feels like mac Jones is more refined at

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this point his career, closer to his ceiling, but more

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>refined and more ready to play maybe in the NFL

0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:35.600
<v Speaker 1>level than Fields and Trey Lance. But if that's the case,

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>why would you hold on to Jimmy Garoppolo? Right? If

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.319
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna hold on to Jimmy Garoppolo for a year,

0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.040
<v Speaker 1>and we don't know if that's what they're doing. They

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.240
<v Speaker 1>may hold on to him just until after the draft,

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 1>make sure they get their guy, and then and then

0:13:46.760 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 1>trade him to the New England Patriots, who I don't

0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>think they're going to really gonna roll back out there

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.760
<v Speaker 1>with Cam Newton. But if you're going to get a

0:13:53.760 --> 0:13:57.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who you think needs to develop, if you're gonna

0:13:57.080 --> 0:13:59.319
<v Speaker 1>try and do the Pat Mahomes, which is what they've

0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:02.120
<v Speaker 1>they've tell people, we're gonna do the Pat Mahomes, develop

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>a guy for a year, then get rid of Garoppolo

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>and then it'll be his team. Doesn't that feel more

0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.160
<v Speaker 1>like a Lance and a Field situation than a Mac

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Jones situation. I'm just trying to read the tea lead

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 1>because she was just saying, could you saying Matt Jones

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>is ready to play, right, he's refon? So yes, if

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you get that guy, put him in. The only one

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.000
<v Speaker 1>you learned to play the quarterback in the NFL is

0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>by playing quarterback in the NFL, right, So what would

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>be your hesitation? Yes? Yes, So I again, I'm just

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>trying to read the tea leaves. You know. The Kyle

0:14:31.560 --> 0:14:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Shanahan thing is this, I do I think that he

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 1>thinks he knows more than everybody else about his system. Sure,

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:40.520
<v Speaker 1>but I also think there's reason that he may think

0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 1>he knows more because he actually may know more about

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:45.560
<v Speaker 1>what he needs in his system and what he has

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.920
<v Speaker 1>him in getting. Look the guys he's had most success with.

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 1>I know RG three was the rookie of the year,

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 1>but and you know they acquiesced to RG three and

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.280
<v Speaker 1>basically ran Baylor's offense. They tried to make him into

0:14:57.480 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>their style of quarterback. Some of it was injuries with

0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>some of it's just that's not who he is. So

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.440
<v Speaker 1>he had an unbelievable rookie year, unbelievable rookie year, and

0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:08.320
<v Speaker 1>and then he was playing hurt and then towards ACL

0:15:08.400 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and that that ill fated playoff came I think against

0:15:10.560 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 1>Seattle at home. Um. But like, look the guys he's

0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.880
<v Speaker 1>had success with the NFL, Matt shob right, Matt Ryan,

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:25.160
<v Speaker 1>kirk Cousins. Those guys are guys that you'd think lower ceiling,

0:15:25.680 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, more ready to play, just good solid quarterbacks. Like,

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.240
<v Speaker 1>is he gonna draft one of those kind of guys

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.520
<v Speaker 1>at number three in the draft? That would be that

0:15:35.520 --> 0:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>would be studying because if I'm I think the reason

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Fields wants to go three, and obviously Lance it's not

0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>the eagle of going three. It's that's a setup, right,

0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It's a great setup they're gonna have. You're gonna get

0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:49.640
<v Speaker 1>to sit for parts of a year and learn. They

0:15:49.680 --> 0:15:51.920
<v Speaker 1>got a good offensive line, they know how to run

0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the football, They got talent outside the numbers, and their

0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:59.080
<v Speaker 1>defense is stacked, stacked, and every quarterback who's played for

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Shannon has had better success and their talent would normally

0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you, right, like Jimmy Garoppolo hadn't really played. He

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:06.800
<v Speaker 1>comes in, he takes him to a super Bowl. His

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>last he last ended the season as the starting quarterback

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.560
<v Speaker 1>of a Super Bowl team that had a twenty eight

0:16:14.560 --> 0:16:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to ten lead in the fourth quarter. So you know, look,

0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.560
<v Speaker 1>if they can do that with Jimmy Garoppolo, what can

0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:22.360
<v Speaker 1>they do with one of these young star quarterbacks. I

0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.800
<v Speaker 1>think that's why everybody wants to get to that third spot.

0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I just my answers. I don't know, do you know?

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And I don't think it has anything to do with

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State. I really don't guys running wide open in

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.400
<v Speaker 1>college football because they have more talent than everybody else.

0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that takes away from what people see

0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and what people don't see about justin fields. All right,

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.520
<v Speaker 1>let's let's let's do this. We'll table it. Eric Mangini's

0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna join this upcoming next and we'll get his thoughts,

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 1>plus his thoughts on Julian Edelman, who called it, who

0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>called it a career this week. Of course, he's a

0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.360
<v Speaker 1>former assistant with the New England Patriots and then a

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>head coach with the Jets, playing against Julian Edeman. That's

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 1>up coming next to Rob Parker. I'm Doug Gotli. This

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:34.199
<v Speaker 1>the NFL Draft. Eric Mangini, of course, has been a

0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 1>part of some incredible coaching staffs in San Francisco, head

0:17:38.560 --> 0:17:41.199
<v Speaker 1>coach of the Jets, the Browns, and of course a

0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>longtime assistant with the New England Patriots. And he's kind

0:17:43.800 --> 0:17:45.399
<v Speaker 1>of have to spend some time this year on the

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>DP Show. And Eric know we found out I was

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:54.520
<v Speaker 1>on it. I'm surprised he didn't cancel the appearance. That's

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the reason I came on is because you're on it.

0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I just want to do it. I'm just doing Eric.

0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's let's start with number three. Okay, the number

0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.240
<v Speaker 1>three pick. That's really where the where the draft will

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:11.040
<v Speaker 1>will turn. Give me your sense of Kyle Shanahan right, Like, again,

0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 1>this is football outsider says, Okay, Kyle Shanahan, you know,

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.760
<v Speaker 1>specific desire offense, kind of a little bit of a

0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:22.040
<v Speaker 1>quarterback guru. You know, there's some confidence there. Some people

0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.480
<v Speaker 1>think a little arrogance there. But he's been really he's

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:30.120
<v Speaker 1>been really really successful, really successful. You know, Houston, Matt

0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:32.320
<v Speaker 1>shob they were successful with Matt Ryan was the MVP

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 1>RG three. They changed their system, he was the rookie

0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>of the year, and of course they went to a

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl with with Garoppolo. What do you think he's

0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 1>also choked down two super Bowls? But that's another no question.

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>They choked two super Bowls, there's no question. But they

0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:47.159
<v Speaker 1>did have the lead in both super Bowls. No, but

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:49.399
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do the right thing at the end of

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the games. He should have two super Bowls in inarguable, inarguable.

0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:57.680
<v Speaker 1>But but Eric, take me inside a coach's mind, a

0:18:57.800 --> 0:18:59.800
<v Speaker 1>GM's mind and John Lynch and what you think they're

0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:04.520
<v Speaker 1>looking forward three? Well, this is such an interesting discussion

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:08.440
<v Speaker 1>because people seem to be very unhappy that they would

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>be considering mac Jones at this spot. But what's forgotten

0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.680
<v Speaker 1>is that coaches don't go into a quarterback evaluation saying

0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:19.320
<v Speaker 1>what is the guy going to do when my play

0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.399
<v Speaker 1>breaks down? That's not the starting point. So it doesn't

0:19:22.440 --> 0:19:25.760
<v Speaker 1>start with mobility. It starts with how well can this

0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 1>guy run my system? How well can he go through

0:19:28.480 --> 0:19:31.280
<v Speaker 1>his read progressions? How well can he throw the ball

0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>when the whole world knows that he has to throw

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.960
<v Speaker 1>the ball at the end of the game. And that's

0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the starting point. And mac Jones has done that really well,

0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 1>so I can see why he's in the discussion. You know,

0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.680
<v Speaker 1>you look at a guy like Justin Fields, who's also

0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:50.440
<v Speaker 1>had very good accuracy, has won a lot of games,

0:19:50.480 --> 0:19:52.720
<v Speaker 1>has done a lot of really good things, and is

0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>a more mobile player, and you can argue for the upside,

0:19:57.280 --> 0:20:00.520
<v Speaker 1>but they're going through this process right now. In this

0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.960
<v Speaker 1>process will probably go right up right up until the drafts,

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.560
<v Speaker 1>where they're getting to know the human beings as well,

0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.639
<v Speaker 1>because playing quarterback, it's part of what you do on

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>the field, but it's also all the other stuff that

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:17.000
<v Speaker 1>goes into it. Your level of preparation, your ability to

0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>comprehend multiple concepts read defensive affect other players, and I

0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:25.359
<v Speaker 1>think that's where the change can take over. Even the

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.640
<v Speaker 1>next couple of weeks or already has as they get

0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to know the human beings. What about Trevor Lawrence's comments, Eric,

0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you saw side people talking about him his dad as coach,

0:20:38.640 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 1>he could give up football tomorrow. He said, he's not

0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna stress out or like over football every waking minute

0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:50.080
<v Speaker 1>of the day. Does that would that bother you as

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:51.760
<v Speaker 1>a head coach or would you just look at it

0:20:51.760 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know, he's a different kind of guy.

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.320
<v Speaker 1>He can play when he's on the field, but he's

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.919
<v Speaker 1>not consumed or obsessed by it. Do you need to

0:20:59.920 --> 0:21:04.880
<v Speaker 1>be obsessed to be a good player in the NFL? Yeah,

0:21:04.920 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I think he need to be obsessed to be a

0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:12.240
<v Speaker 1>good quarterback in the NFL, especially because there's so many

0:21:12.400 --> 0:21:16.560
<v Speaker 1>details and it's such a it's such a grind mentally,

0:21:17.200 --> 0:21:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Johnson has talked about the idea of drafting guys

0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that don't have a parachute, where he would go get

0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.960
<v Speaker 1>some guys who who football didn't work out, they didn't

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have a plan b in that constantly motivated them to

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:35.399
<v Speaker 1>be successful. And you know he's in it. Obviously this

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:38.360
<v Speaker 1>is a different situation. But you you'd love to hear

0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the guy who is chasing Tom Brady or chasing Peyton Manning,

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.359
<v Speaker 1>or chasing the greats. And I know he doesn't have

0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a chip on his shoulder because he's going to be

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>drafted number one overall. But you really ideally want the

0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:59.600
<v Speaker 1>guy who is desperately searching for greatness, especially taking him

0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:01.480
<v Speaker 1>as a for a pick in the draft. But but

0:22:01.480 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>but Eric, let me, let me push back on this.

0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:07.080
<v Speaker 1>This is the problem. I h there are plenty of

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>those guys, and a lot of them don't succeed or

0:22:10.000 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 1>aren't very good. So you can you know, I've tell

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the guys, rob guys, some of the guys who don't

0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:20.640
<v Speaker 1>who players who told me that they don't love football

0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:25.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback because they can this gonna be out. Also, NFL coaches,

0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they don't go home. They sleep on the couch.

0:22:29.080 --> 0:22:32.560
<v Speaker 1>They they they stay in their office. They watch film

0:22:32.600 --> 0:22:35.199
<v Speaker 1>twenty three hours a day. Yeah yeah, yeah, but they

0:22:35.200 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 1>don't win any Super Bowls. They don't win, they still

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:41.119
<v Speaker 1>get fired. I'm not saying that that that you know,

0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:43.640
<v Speaker 1>having that is a bad thing, but I don't think

0:22:43.680 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>that that automatically means you're going to be a great

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:50.800
<v Speaker 1>player because you obsess over it or it's the only

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:53.440
<v Speaker 1>thing you think about all day that That's my point

0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:55.359
<v Speaker 1>is that I think there are a lot of guys

0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:58.639
<v Speaker 1>who who lived that life who aren't successful because they

0:22:58.640 --> 0:23:03.480
<v Speaker 1>don't have talent. Well, yeah, we're assuming the starting point

0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.960
<v Speaker 1>is talent. And when you talk about those guys rob

0:23:07.040 --> 0:23:11.919
<v Speaker 1>that that do obsess and aren't ultimately successful winning the

0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:14.720
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl, where would they be if they didn't obsess.

0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>Maybe maybe they've reached the highest level that they've reached

0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.560
<v Speaker 1>because of their obsessing. And to me, I'm a big

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>believer that that talent sets the floor and character sets

0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the ceiling, and that if you have a guy with

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>really high character and drive. And I'm not taking anything

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:33.919
<v Speaker 1>away from Trevor Lawrence, but when you have that situation,

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:37.600
<v Speaker 1>average becomes good, Good becomes great, and great becomes a

0:23:37.600 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer because you're you're pairing up the talent

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>with that that character. I think that's just I think

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:51.800
<v Speaker 1>that's just pr talk to that if I don't say anything,

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.360
<v Speaker 1>If I didn't say anything, you wouldn't think anything of me.

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>But if I go out and tell you, oh yeah,

0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.360
<v Speaker 1>football is all I think about it, and I can't

0:23:59.400 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 1>whatever did all of a sudden, your whole mentality or

0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the way you look at me change is whether that's

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>true or not. I could have given you a phony

0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:10.679
<v Speaker 1>story if I'm Trevor Lawrence and told you that, and

0:24:10.720 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 1>then you would tell me that you would think he

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.160
<v Speaker 1>has a chance of being a great the greatest quarterback

0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>ever because he gave you a phony story about how

0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.879
<v Speaker 1>you obsessed with football and he wasn't honest with you

0:24:20.920 --> 0:24:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and told you that it doesn't matter to him. Do

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you see what I'm saying. No, But if you're telling

0:24:28.080 --> 0:24:32.160
<v Speaker 1>me someone's lying, that's different. And I have no problem

0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:35.880
<v Speaker 1>with someone expressing sincerely how they feel. I just think

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.320
<v Speaker 1>that maybe it's similar to an Andrew Luck situation where

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Andrew had other alternatives, yet other things that he wanted

0:24:42.880 --> 0:24:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to do, and he decided it was time to move

0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:48.000
<v Speaker 1>on from football. That's that's his right, and he earned

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:51.359
<v Speaker 1>that right, and there's nothing wrong with that. You're asking

0:24:51.400 --> 0:24:54.520
<v Speaker 1>me from an executive standpoint or from a head coaching standpoint,

0:24:55.000 --> 0:24:59.760
<v Speaker 1>do I want someone that is chasing Tom Brady? Yeah?

0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I do. I'm not saying I want someone to lie

0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.840
<v Speaker 1>to me, but I would like someone that that has

0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that mentality. I think that's that help is helpful. Yeah, no,

0:25:08.680 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 1>it's it's one of those. And even if they lie

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:12.399
<v Speaker 1>or tell the truth, I mean that that's part of

0:25:12.400 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 1>why you spend so much money and do background research

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.040
<v Speaker 1>in these guys. But but Rob, you know, I pushed back,

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:21.400
<v Speaker 1>like you go through and I mean, why did why

0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>did Why did the ram sauron Jared golf right? Why

0:25:24.520 --> 0:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>did the sauron Jared Goff? Sauredon Jared Goff because they

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.440
<v Speaker 1>felt like he wasn't He wasn't. He didn't obsess over it.

0:25:31.040 --> 0:25:34.800
<v Speaker 1>He didn't obsess over it. So Matthew Stafford, who's obsessed

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:37.000
<v Speaker 1>over it but hasn't won a playoff game in twelve

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.960
<v Speaker 1>years or a big game, well, he also wasn't surrounding it. Again, No,

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I watched his whole entire career. There are plenty of

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:48.679
<v Speaker 1>opportunities for him to carry that team. And it's not true.

0:25:48.760 --> 0:25:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's blaming everybody but Matthew Stafford. And my point is

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 1>only that, uh yeah, okay, Matthew Stafford is better. Yeah okay,

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because he put up meaningless numbers and meaningless games where

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:02.600
<v Speaker 1>he's down twenty one points in the first quarter. That's

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>there You're literally the only person on earth who who

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>who thinks that Matt Stafford is not not a very

0:26:08.320 --> 0:26:10.640
<v Speaker 1>good quarterback like you just you're you're but you're also

0:26:10.680 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 1>the You're the only guy who watched every game from

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the start of it. I gotta, I gotta, I understand.

0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>I know where you're watching. You watch, you watched, you

0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 1>watched highlights. No, no, no, I I don't Stafford, I'm

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm gonna be honest to watch. I barely watched,

0:26:23.440 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I be I barely watched the Lions. But what I

0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:29.320
<v Speaker 1>know is I know that the n NFL he wouldn't

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:33.640
<v Speaker 1>have commanded starting quarterback and other first round picks unless

0:26:33.920 --> 0:26:37.240
<v Speaker 1>he had a ton of value, because the evaluators in

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:40.399
<v Speaker 1>the NFL believe he's a top flight quarterback who is

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:43.600
<v Speaker 1>simply surrounded with an absolute mess of a franchise. That's

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:45.640
<v Speaker 1>three things he was. He never played in the system,

0:26:45.880 --> 0:26:50.159
<v Speaker 1>which which which which helped helped his skill set. That again,

0:26:50.280 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 1>ask it or ask Eric Mangini, right like when you

0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:54.600
<v Speaker 1>played for Jim Bob Cooter. I've talked to NFL people

0:26:54.640 --> 0:26:57.040
<v Speaker 1>like dude, he played for the most rudimentary systems where

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:00.239
<v Speaker 1>they didn't even use motion like everybody's sad. Johnson got

0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:03.199
<v Speaker 1>into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot with

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:06.680
<v Speaker 1>playing on a horrible franchise. Right, but but he but

0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:10.760
<v Speaker 1>but you're completing things things Nobody ever say they didn't

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>have anybody, they weren't well run to, they didn't have

0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>a good defense, they didn't have a good running game.

0:27:14.320 --> 0:27:19.240
<v Speaker 1>You're not winning a championships, a defense, running game, and hip. Sorry,

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I think I think too, Rob. What comes from the

0:27:22.440 --> 0:27:25.960
<v Speaker 1>equation with this is we're not playing golf, right, It's

0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.359
<v Speaker 1>not an individual game. You are depending on the people

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 1>that are around you. And and to go back to

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:37.520
<v Speaker 1>the original question, the obsessing over over the game and

0:27:38.280 --> 0:27:40.680
<v Speaker 1>your progress in the game and your approach to the game.

0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 1>To me, you're hoping that that leads to them maximizing

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:49.400
<v Speaker 1>the natural talent that they have. That that's that's where

0:27:49.440 --> 0:27:53.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying the correlation is if someone isn't as obsessed,

0:27:54.280 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't mean they won't necessarily achieve at a certain level.

0:27:57.680 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 1>But you wonder are they going to achieve at the

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:02.760
<v Speaker 1>level that they could potentially achieve that Hey, all right,

0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>let's switch to this team to skip in the voluntary workouts, Eric,

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.520
<v Speaker 1>what do you make of that? You know, with the

0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:12.320
<v Speaker 1>COVID concerns, Uh, if you were coaching and your team

0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:17.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't want to come into would you understand, Look, this

0:28:17.119 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>is such a this is such a unpredictable and I'm

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 1>a certain time that it's hard to pass judgment on

0:28:24.720 --> 0:28:28.680
<v Speaker 1>anybody's decision in relationship to COVID. The thing that I

0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:34.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen is what protocols are not in place that

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the players disagree with and and and that's that's where

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:42.520
<v Speaker 1>it just seems a little disingenuous. Is what is the

0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>NFL not doing to make you feel as secure as possible?

0:28:47.160 --> 0:28:49.800
<v Speaker 1>If they were not providing testing, if they were not

0:28:49.840 --> 0:28:53.520
<v Speaker 1>providing vaccinations, if they were not social, if they weren't

0:28:53.520 --> 0:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>doing everything they could, then I would say, of course

0:28:57.000 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that you shouldn't go in. But but I I don't

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:02.680
<v Speaker 1>see that part of it, Robert. One of the issues.

0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying that players, you're saying players just don't

0:29:05.880 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>want to work out, that that the NFL needs to

0:29:08.320 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>get rid of the word voluntary, right, And either you

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:14.360
<v Speaker 1>make it a part of the contract that they come

0:29:14.400 --> 0:29:17.560
<v Speaker 1>in for these workouts or you're eliminated. So that's you're

0:29:17.600 --> 0:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>saying that it has nothing to do with COVID, that

0:29:19.480 --> 0:29:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the players don't want to come in. No, I'm not

0:29:23.200 --> 0:29:25.280
<v Speaker 1>saying it. I'm not saying it has nothing to do

0:29:25.320 --> 0:29:28.600
<v Speaker 1>with COVID, because look, COVID has something to do with

0:29:28.680 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 1>everything that everybody's doing now. But I'm trying to understand

0:29:32.680 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 1>what are the what are the roadblocks between coming in

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:40.560
<v Speaker 1>and not coming in? NFL isn't trying to overcome. I

0:29:40.560 --> 0:29:42.760
<v Speaker 1>think your point is well taken, and that's what I'm asking.

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it has anything to do with COVID.

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:47.320
<v Speaker 1>It's it's a it's a joke. They agreed to a

0:29:47.480 --> 0:29:51.800
<v Speaker 1>ten year Collective Barden Agreement and they did not address this, right,

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:54.080
<v Speaker 1>they have a CBA for ten years. They did not

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:57.680
<v Speaker 1>address or change and you know the wording of the

0:29:57.760 --> 0:30:01.600
<v Speaker 1>volunteery workouts, and they're using a loophole to try You're

0:30:01.640 --> 0:30:03.720
<v Speaker 1>using COVID, like we can't come in because of COVID. Okay,

0:30:03.720 --> 0:30:05.760
<v Speaker 1>so you can go work out a private facility, right,

0:30:05.760 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that's what you want to do. You can work out

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:10.440
<v Speaker 1>a private facility and possibly that doesn't make any sense.

0:30:10.480 --> 0:30:13.720
<v Speaker 1>That argument holds no water. By the way, NFL players

0:30:13.760 --> 0:30:16.200
<v Speaker 1>are frustrated last year over not being able to get

0:30:16.240 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 1>into their facilities to work out. Now you don't want

0:30:19.400 --> 0:30:21.920
<v Speaker 1>to work out like I'm it's very It basically feels

0:30:21.960 --> 0:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>like the Union, you know, trying to throw their weight around,

0:30:25.080 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>and it doesn't make any sense. And it does put

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 1>some guys in a bind because there are guys that

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 1>have incentenced, tied into the offseason program that they can earn,

0:30:35.400 --> 0:30:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and there are a bunch of players that do really

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.080
<v Speaker 1>benefit from being in the building, whether it's through the

0:30:42.200 --> 0:30:44.920
<v Speaker 1>strength and conditioning program or the work on the field,

0:30:45.000 --> 0:30:47.440
<v Speaker 1>or the work of the coaches. So when you when

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you make these these blanket decisions to that affect whole

0:30:52.080 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 1>groups of people, you're really taking the voluntary aspect away

0:30:55.520 --> 0:31:01.400
<v Speaker 1>from from the player. From a union perspective, Eric ben

0:31:01.480 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Junior guest here on The Dan Patrick's Show, Rob Parker

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Doug Gotlieban for Dan and the Danettes. What are the

0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Patriots going to do at quarterback? That's that's a that's

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a wonderful question, you know. They it's it's not

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:21.760
<v Speaker 1>an easy problem to solve, obviously, and it's not like

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:23.880
<v Speaker 1>this is the first time they've had to address the

0:31:23.960 --> 0:31:29.720
<v Speaker 1>quarterback issue. Bill's drafted eleven quarterbacks over the last twenty years,

0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and then they drafted another one in Cleveland. And you know,

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>you hit the football lottery with Tom Brady in the

0:31:36.160 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>sixth round, and you could say that that you did

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 1>well with Jimmy Garoppolo. However you want to, you know,

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.800
<v Speaker 1>view his success or failure, Matt Castle would probably be

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:51.480
<v Speaker 1>the next most successful guy. It's not easy. People are

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:53.120
<v Speaker 1>talking about it is I would just trade up and

0:31:53.160 --> 0:31:57.760
<v Speaker 1>go get a guy. It It doesn't it doesn't work

0:31:57.800 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that way. They've been trying to replace Tombree because of

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:03.880
<v Speaker 1>his age to the last you know, six or seven years,

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't hit. I think they'll they'll continue to

0:32:08.400 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>look for guys. I imagine they'll get a guy maybe

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:13.760
<v Speaker 1>in the second or third round. It's hard to envision

0:32:13.840 --> 0:32:16.680
<v Speaker 1>him trading up high in the first. You know, he

0:32:16.720 --> 0:32:18.800
<v Speaker 1>hasn't done it in twenty six years as a head

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:21.920
<v Speaker 1>coach where he's traded or drafted a quarterback in the

0:32:21.920 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 1>first round. Maybe this will be the year. I mean,

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>if his free agency spending was was uncharacteristic as well,

0:32:29.080 --> 0:32:32.320
<v Speaker 1>it just it just hasn't been the pattern though. Eric,

0:32:32.360 --> 0:32:36.640
<v Speaker 1>what about Julian Edelman called it a career with the Patriots,

0:32:36.640 --> 0:32:40.280
<v Speaker 1>retired after he failed his physical And that's a graph.

0:32:40.480 --> 0:32:43.640
<v Speaker 1>Won a super Bowl, MVP was on a super Bowl

0:32:43.640 --> 0:32:48.040
<v Speaker 1>winning team three times. Regular season stats not so good.

0:32:48.240 --> 0:32:53.320
<v Speaker 1>Is he a Hall of Famer in your opinion? I

0:32:53.360 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>would imagine he's got to be deep in the discussions

0:32:57.440 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>for for Hall of Fame because of what he's done

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in the postseason. I mean, the guy average six over

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.760
<v Speaker 1>six catches per game in the in the postseason, never

0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.520
<v Speaker 1>made a Pro Bowl, never was an All Pro hockey.

0:33:09.480 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>He be a Hall of Famer. Eric, Come on, seriously, Well,

0:33:13.360 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I don't know if the Pro Bowl

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:21.480
<v Speaker 1>is all Pro. Nope, all Pro, never an All Pro.

0:33:21.680 --> 0:33:25.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a Hall of Famer. Well, you're looking at you're

0:33:25.440 --> 0:33:29.240
<v Speaker 1>looking at at the success that New England has. How

0:33:29.320 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>much credit would you give him for those successful years?

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Let let me let me ask me ask you irrelevant part. No, Eric,

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you make it a great point. This is

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 1>this You're you're gonna help obviously make my point, which

0:33:42.200 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 1>be I think as fans we talk about stats or

0:33:44.720 --> 0:33:47.320
<v Speaker 1>even catches. It's like all the little things. What's the

0:33:47.320 --> 0:33:49.840
<v Speaker 1>most important down in football third down, and he and

0:33:49.880 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Wes Welker were dominant on third down. Why can't a

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:55.239
<v Speaker 1>slot wide receiver be in the Hall of Fame If

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.240
<v Speaker 1>you're the best slot way wide receiver who makes the

0:33:57.240 --> 0:34:00.560
<v Speaker 1>most impactful plays in the Super Bowl? How he But

0:34:00.560 --> 0:34:03.280
<v Speaker 1>but if he did all that during his playing career,

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:07.120
<v Speaker 1>his numbers, there's so many other guys who played his position.

0:34:08.200 --> 0:34:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Hinz Ward has way better statistics. He's not in the

0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame. Okay, he won a Super Bowl MVP,

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:19.200
<v Speaker 1>he helped the Steelers h during their runs and was

0:34:19.239 --> 0:34:21.280
<v Speaker 1>a great player. He's not in the Hall of Fame.

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 1>And here's the other caveat that that kills me. He

0:34:24.680 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>also got suspended for peed use, and we vilified baseball players,

0:34:29.960 --> 0:34:33.040
<v Speaker 1>but Edelman nobody even mentions it. Why is it okay

0:34:33.080 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>for him to to to do peeds get busted, and

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.160
<v Speaker 1>you guys want to send them to the Hall of Fame.

0:34:39.200 --> 0:34:45.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that's BS. I don't think I'm necessarily saying

0:34:45.160 --> 0:34:48.040
<v Speaker 1>he's a first ballot Hall of Famer, and I don't

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>know when he'll get in. I do think he has

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:55.719
<v Speaker 1>to be in the discussion at some point because of

0:34:56.200 --> 0:34:58.200
<v Speaker 1>his body of work. I mean, the Hall of Fame

0:34:58.320 --> 0:35:01.399
<v Speaker 1>is based off of your body of work, and he's

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:06.279
<v Speaker 1>had tremendous impact on a team that's had tremendous success,

0:35:07.239 --> 0:35:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of his impact was in the most

0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:15.040
<v Speaker 1>crucial moments. Do you value the performance in those moments?

0:35:15.560 --> 0:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Is that special? Or is it or is it not special?

0:35:18.040 --> 0:35:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Is it unique or is it not unique? To me?

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:24.799
<v Speaker 1>I think it's it's unique. Eric, great stuff man. Thanks

<v Speaker 1>love it. I'm loving to see fans back at the ballpark.

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:29.360
<v Speaker 1>As you know, we've seen it in baseball someplaces we

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>saw a sold out stadium. Did you see in Arlington, Texas? Uh?

0:36:33.200 --> 0:36:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Doug for opening day? Sold out? Like packed? Was it

0:36:37.680 --> 0:36:41.440
<v Speaker 1>was a site for sore eyes. But yes, in the NBA,

0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to hear fans are coming back. Have you

0:36:44.120 --> 0:36:48.440
<v Speaker 1>gotten the vaccination? One shot? I'm waiting for the second one?

0:36:48.480 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 1>What about you? I got the I got the I

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 1>got the now pause Johnson and Johnson last Friday. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I saw some side effects, right, A couple of people. Yeah,

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.279
<v Speaker 1>it was like six people. Uh, six people? And like yeah,

0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean that the numbers don't suggest that they should

0:37:05.080 --> 0:37:07.720
<v Speaker 1>stop it, but again out of an abundance of caution,

0:37:07.760 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 1>which is is fine. Um okay, so did you have

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 1>how did you feel after you get your first shot?

0:37:14.120 --> 0:37:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Just sore you know and where I got the shot.

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't get sick. I didn't feel any symptoms. Uh,

0:37:21.160 --> 0:37:24.359
<v Speaker 1>knock on wood, I felt good. How about you did?

0:37:24.719 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you have any issues? Yes? I felt terrible? Did

0:37:28.160 --> 0:37:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you really? Dog? Did it really? Yeah? I never I

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:36.040
<v Speaker 1>knock wood never, but I very, very very rarely ever

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.000
<v Speaker 1>get sick. See I'm like that knock on wood. I'm

0:37:39.040 --> 0:37:42.120
<v Speaker 1>one of those people too. At one stretch, Dog, I

0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:44.520
<v Speaker 1>think of my professional career, I might have gone like

0:37:44.680 --> 0:37:47.840
<v Speaker 1>ten or twelve years without ever missing work, you know

0:37:47.880 --> 0:37:49.960
<v Speaker 1>what I mean. I've never missed it. I never did

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 1>miss the Dave work for for being sick. Is that right?

0:37:52.560 --> 0:37:55.760
<v Speaker 1>That's unbelievable ever so one or two. But it's also

0:37:55.880 --> 0:37:58.319
<v Speaker 1>like way like what we do, Like let's not kid

0:37:58.360 --> 0:38:00.799
<v Speaker 1>ourselves like oh no no, but you still have to

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:02.759
<v Speaker 1>be if your head is clogged or you don't you

0:38:02.760 --> 0:38:04.400
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like, dude, but you got a

0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:07.040
<v Speaker 1>bad head. I mean like look Monday, Monday, my voice

0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't great. I could have blamed it on the shot,

0:38:08.560 --> 0:38:11.080
<v Speaker 1>but it was really because like I coached, I coached

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, like five teams in an a huge turn off.

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Well you already know that had something to do with it,

0:38:16.120 --> 0:38:19.359
<v Speaker 1>Dad and everything everything to do with it anyway. Um,

0:38:19.520 --> 0:38:22.760
<v Speaker 1>so I blame the officials actually on that one. Um,

0:38:23.320 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>but I had I had to chills something fierce that

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:29.919
<v Speaker 1>night and then I just had like a neck ache

0:38:29.960 --> 0:38:34.319
<v Speaker 1>and headache for about twenty four thirty six hours after

0:38:34.360 --> 0:38:36.160
<v Speaker 1>the shot and then I was and then I was fine.

0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:39.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been told that the two shot ones. The second

0:38:39.200 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>shot is when you feel some effects and it varies

0:38:41.880 --> 0:38:44.799
<v Speaker 1>in levels. Yeah, I've heard that that the second one

0:38:44.880 --> 0:38:49.320
<v Speaker 1>could do something to you. Um, we'll see. I'm hoping.

0:38:49.400 --> 0:38:52.319
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping not, but I want to be totally vaccinated.

0:38:52.360 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 1>But in fact, because you're a traveler, you're like a

0:38:54.600 --> 0:38:58.319
<v Speaker 1>world traveler. Just just bought a ticket dog yesterday, if

0:38:58.320 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you could believe it. I'm going to Australia in January

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:05.279
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. I've already been, but I never went

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:08.080
<v Speaker 1>to the West coast to Perth, so that's gonna be

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.000
<v Speaker 1>a part of the trip. But I'm gonna go for

0:39:10.040 --> 0:39:12.400
<v Speaker 1>about eight or nine days to Australia. My second I

0:39:12.440 --> 0:39:15.080
<v Speaker 1>went back in the nineties, like early nineties, so I

0:39:15.080 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 1>haven't been there in a long time. But yeah, I

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>want to and I want to go to Russia as

0:39:19.120 --> 0:39:23.960
<v Speaker 1>well next year. So those yeah, yeah, yeah, I got ask.

0:39:24.080 --> 0:39:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I speak all the Russian really, yeah. I played basketball

0:39:26.920 --> 0:39:28.839
<v Speaker 1>in Russian. I took a Russian tutor. I could speak

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:30.719
<v Speaker 1>at Russian. I can understand a lot. Yeah, it was,

0:39:31.280 --> 0:39:33.200
<v Speaker 1>it's it's amazing. I'll be your I'll be your tour

0:39:33.280 --> 0:39:36.719
<v Speaker 1>guide when to go. Don't go in wins. No, I'm

0:39:36.760 --> 0:39:39.160
<v Speaker 1>not going. I'm gonna go into summer. But I like that.

0:39:39.200 --> 0:39:41.600
<v Speaker 1>You're going to Australia in summer. In Australia, right, that's

0:39:41.760 --> 0:39:45.880
<v Speaker 1>January that summer. Yes, I went to the Australian Open

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the last time I went in the nineties, so I'll

0:39:48.200 --> 0:39:51.480
<v Speaker 1>probably take that in as well. And uh, you know

0:39:51.560 --> 0:39:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to go to the Opera House there in Sydney and

0:39:55.000 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Darling Harbor. Have you been. You've been Australia, right, No, no, no, Doug.

0:39:59.400 --> 0:40:03.080
<v Speaker 1>It is a must. It is our Their landmass is

0:40:03.080 --> 0:40:07.840
<v Speaker 1>similar to ours, not the same size, similar, And Sydney

0:40:08.040 --> 0:40:13.120
<v Speaker 1>and Perth are like New York and LA, three thousand

0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:15.839
<v Speaker 1>miles apart on the East Coast and West coast, you know,

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 1>like like that, even though Perth is not LA, it's

0:40:19.719 --> 0:40:22.960
<v Speaker 1>not as glamorous of a city as say Sydney is,

0:40:23.000 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>but still I want to see it. I want to

0:40:25.440 --> 0:40:27.040
<v Speaker 1>see as much of the world as I can while

0:40:27.040 --> 0:40:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm alive. So so where do you Where do you

0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:33.359
<v Speaker 1>stay when you travel? Like? Are you a hostile guy? Gonna?

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Marriott guy. I'm I'm I need to be

0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:40.120
<v Speaker 1>in you know, all the way to Perth, Australia and

0:40:40.120 --> 0:40:42.640
<v Speaker 1>go stay at a at a Marriott. Yes, I'm gonna

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:45.279
<v Speaker 1>stay at a hotel that I'm gonna feel comfortable. And

0:40:45.480 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I've stayed at some questionable hotels, you know what I mean,

0:40:49.560 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 1>get to save some money. When I was in college.

0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:57.240
<v Speaker 1>When you say questionable, everyone's mindsearch racing in terms of questionable. Yeah,

0:40:57.480 --> 0:41:00.560
<v Speaker 1>places that places that if I if I did it again,

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.520
<v Speaker 1>I probably wouldn't stay there. But you know what I mean.

0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 1>But I was in college, me and a buddy we

0:41:06.800 --> 0:41:09.839
<v Speaker 1>graduated from Columbia j School, My buddy George Smith, who

0:41:09.880 --> 0:41:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was in the media. But do you know George used

0:41:11.560 --> 0:41:15.399
<v Speaker 1>to work at ESPN. George Smith, Yeah, great, great guy.

0:41:15.560 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 1>George and I went to Europe after we got out

0:41:18.160 --> 0:41:21.160
<v Speaker 1>of Columbia and we roughed it. We didn't have any money,

0:41:21.160 --> 0:41:25.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. So we backpacked it stayed

0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:27.360
<v Speaker 1>at some cheap hotels, but we had a great time.

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:31.080
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I love the trump. Anthony Davis is back

0:41:31.200 --> 0:41:35.799
<v Speaker 1>with the Lakers, okay, and he's been cleared for full

0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:40.200
<v Speaker 1>contact practice. Is this enough time for the Lakers to

0:41:40.239 --> 0:41:43.880
<v Speaker 1>get their chemistry right to another championship? Yeah, only because

0:41:43.920 --> 0:41:47.239
<v Speaker 1>they played together. It's about them just being healthy, not

0:41:47.440 --> 0:41:50.720
<v Speaker 1>chemistry so much. When you have Anthony Davis and Lebron

0:41:50.880 --> 0:41:53.879
<v Speaker 1>James and a cast, you're gonna have a shot. I'm

0:41:53.880 --> 0:41:57.239
<v Speaker 1>not saying they're gonna win a championship, Doug, but they

0:41:57.320 --> 0:41:59.759
<v Speaker 1>have a shot if those guys are healthy. If either

0:41:59.800 --> 0:42:02.319
<v Speaker 1>one one of them is not healthy completely all that

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>they have no shot to win. I agree. If they

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:06.560
<v Speaker 1>have no shot to win it either isn't healthy. I

0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:09.080
<v Speaker 1>think it's interesting. You know, we were so dismissive of

0:42:09.080 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the Clippers. We're like, wow, they but they fell apart

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:14.319
<v Speaker 1>in the bubble. They did, But I felt like they

0:42:14.320 --> 0:42:17.239
<v Speaker 1>addressed all of their needs and and and here's the

0:42:17.239 --> 0:42:19.680
<v Speaker 1>big thing. Like Lebron didn't win his first year in LA,

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:21.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't win his first year back in Cleveland, didn't win

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:26.239
<v Speaker 1>his first year in Miami either, is that sometimes those

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:28.120
<v Speaker 1>super teams that first year you kind of gotta fix

0:42:28.200 --> 0:42:30.760
<v Speaker 1>it and put it together and look kind of similarly

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>coaches too, except for in Miami. I'm with you on this.

<v Speaker 1>I think the Clippers are under the radar dog and

<v Speaker 1>they got Rondo, which is a big piece that they needed.

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I like the Clippers to come out of the West.

0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:47.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm with you, all right. More on the NBA to come,

0:42:47.080 --> 0:42:51.120
