1 00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 2: Jason Garrett, former head coach Football Night and America analyst, 4 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: joining us on the program. Did you care if you 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,039 Speaker 2: were coaching inside or outside? 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 3: Oh? 7 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 4: Good question. 8 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,159 Speaker 5: You know when I was coaching in Dallas for all 9 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,160 Speaker 5: those years at you know, at and T Stadium is 10 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 5: a pretty good place to play. You know, I think 11 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 5: the biggest thing I love what Matthew Stafford said the 12 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,319 Speaker 5: other day after the game. You know, you want to 13 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 5: instill a mentality and everybody that hey, anytime anywhere, you know, 14 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 5: home away, moon, parking lot is what we used to say. 15 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 4: And you know, just go play. 16 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,959 Speaker 5: Certainly there's an advantage of playing that home in your 17 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 5: place and the friendly confines. 18 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 2: Though yeah, I know we get caught up in the 19 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,920 Speaker 2: old school the elements and the cold and you could 20 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,360 Speaker 2: see the breath and there's snow and rain, and it 21 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 2: feels like the NFL was trying to move away from 22 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: that to make it and it almost feels like every 23 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 2: game might look the same, the aesthetics of it because 24 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: controlled environment. Can you see the NFL trying to shift towards. 25 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 5: That maybe a little bit, but I know, just being 26 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 5: in TV the last few years. People love the images 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 5: of these snow games, though, don't they When the snow's 28 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 5: coming down and they're doing snow angels and you know 29 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 5: they do those slow mos coming in out of commercials 30 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 5: and you see the snowflakes. I mean, it's pretty magical, 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 5: and I certainly hope we don't lose that. You know, 32 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 5: I think so much of this stuff is about suits 33 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 5: and money and Super Bowls and all of that. So 34 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 5: I think that's why that's driving these decisions on the 35 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 5: league level, on the team level, and you know, even 36 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 5: probably in the city level. You know, you think about Chicago. 37 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 5: It makes me sick to think that Chicago is not 38 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 5: going to be playing at Soldier Field outside at some point. 39 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 5: You know, that's just a magical place. But you know, 40 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 5: these decisions are certainly going in that direction. There's no 41 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 5: doubt it. 42 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 2: Okay, but you have to you know, if you're Buffalo 43 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 2: and you're Sean McDermott, like, you're getting guys, they have 44 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: to embrace what Buffalo is all about. Chicago, you've had 45 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 2: to embrace that certain stadium, certain environments where you're bringing 46 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 2: in guys. But not everybody is growing up in a 47 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: cold weather climate and they're going to Buffalo. You got 48 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 2: guys who could have been in Florida or California or Texas. 49 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: So how difficult is it as a coach that you 50 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: have to get your players to adapt to this environment. 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 4: I think it's a real thing. And you said it. 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 5: I mean those states are talking about there's a lot 53 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 5: of amazing football being played excuse me, in the South, 54 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 5: and and guys who grow up in the South and 55 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 5: play in Texas and Florida and then they go to 56 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 5: school in the South. I mean, these are new experiences 57 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 5: for them. We've had receivers through the years. They're just 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 5: looking there. They look in their eye leading up to 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 5: the game. It's like, oh God, this is going to 60 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 5: be a disaster, you know. So again you're trying to 61 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 5: train them. You certainly want guys who are mentally tough. 62 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 5: They can play anywhere. But it can certainly be an 63 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 5: advantage to you, you know, embracing the cold if you're 64 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 5: one of those teams, if you can get your team 65 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 5: to think that way, it can certainly help you. 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: Worst environment conditions that you coached or played in. 67 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 5: We played I think it was a Sunday night game 68 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 5: or Monday night game in Chicago when I was in Dallas, 69 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 5: and I just can't tell you how cold it was. 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 4: I mean, it was ridiculous. 71 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 5: And again you're trying to instill in everybody, hey we 72 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 5: can go play anywhere. But I saw the looks on 73 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 5: our guy's faces early on. I'm like, uh, this better 74 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 5: go well early because you know, it just was so 75 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 5: damn cold. You couldn't move. Nobody wants to tackle. It 76 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 5: was freezing. I don't know what the number was, but 77 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 5: it was pretty damn cold. 78 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: And then you got Matt Lafloor, the Green Bay head coach. 79 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 2: Does he not wear a hat because he wants to 80 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: make sure you notice his hair or is he trying 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: to be a tough guy? Yeah? 82 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 5: Well, well you know, it's the same thing with the 83 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 5: guys with sleeves, you know. I mean, hey, we're not 84 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: wearing sleeves. I'm like, all right, that's fine, it's good. 85 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: I can see your arms. You're kind of trying to 86 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 5: make a statement here. But the goal is to play 87 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 5: well for three hours, so you better get the right 88 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 5: gear on. I used to tell our coaches, don't be 89 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 5: the guy who looks like the michelin man. 90 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 4: I said, No one layers up more than I do. 91 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 5: I got more stuff on, but the outer shell is 92 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 5: going to make me look like, Okay, this is kind 93 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 5: of a normal day. There's nothing worse for a player 94 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 5: than to see a coach who's kind of he can't 95 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 5: even move because he's got the big jackets on and 96 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 5: his faces round. I mean, that's instilling something in your players. 97 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 5: So the look for the coach definitely matters. 98 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: Talking to Jason Garrett, tune in Saturday Night, seven thirty 99 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: Eastern on Peacock Jason and the Football Night in America. Crew, 100 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: get ready, the Ravens and the Packers and that'll be 101 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: exclusively on Peacock and then Niners and the Bears Sunday 102 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 2: Night Football. I'm trying to figure out how the Niners 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,679 Speaker 2: did this, Jason, Like Howard they eleven and four, given 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 2: everything that's happened to this team this season, Yeah. 105 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: It's it's amazing. 106 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 5: And you know the obvious thing, it's a testament to 107 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: Kyle Shanahan and his staff. You know, those guys able 108 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 5: to you know, just overcome it, you know. I think 109 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 5: the other part for me always with injuries is how 110 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 5: you build the team and if you're fortunate enough to 111 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 5: have injuries where you have some depth, and guys have 112 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 5: certainly stepped up there and emerged. But for them to 113 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 5: be where they are and playing as well as they are, 114 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 5: it's been amazing. And you know, I think Kyle certainly 115 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 5: instills that mentality. One guy that can't be overlooked in 116 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 5: this whole thing to me is just you know, the 117 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: quarterback play when Mac Jones steps in and now Brock 118 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,919 Speaker 5: Purty comes back, you know, their quarterback play has not 119 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 5: dipped at all. 120 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 4: Brock is playing at such a high level. 121 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 5: But to have Mac be a guy who could you know, 122 00:05:58,160 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: kind of hold the fort there when he was out, 123 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 5: we really really impressive. Hats off the Kyle Shanahan has 124 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 5: done a great job. 125 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: And I thought that Philip Rivers has played pretty well. 126 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 2: Let's take his age out of this, because it feels 127 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 2: like we're grading him on a curve. But if I 128 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: just remove that and just say it's Philip Rivers out there, 129 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: the intelligence that he has to have to be able 130 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 2: to get away with not having an arm is pretty remarkable. 131 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 2: You study quarterbacks, you were a quarterback. What are you 132 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: seeing with Philip Rivers? 133 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 5: Well? I love him on so many different levels. I mean, 134 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 5: just his competitiveness, his love for the game. His passion 135 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 5: for the game is off the charts and it's been 136 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 5: that way forever. So for me, that's where it starts. 137 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 5: But he is so smart and these guys when they've 138 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 5: when they've taken so many snaps, they just see things happen. 139 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: Before they do. 140 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 5: And that allows him to be such quick thinkers, quick 141 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 5: decision makers, and they seem to be right all the time. 142 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 5: And he made so many good throws, you know, over 143 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks where he just anticipates it 144 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 5: and you know that, oh, this guy's coming, the ball's 145 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 5: going there, it's out of my hand, and you know 146 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: he's defying all the odds because he can't drive the 147 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 5: ball obviously like he used to. 148 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: But you know, watch that game last night. 149 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 5: I mean, he made some big time throws down the field, 150 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 5: and you know what attribute to him. 151 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 4: And I just love the look of him too. 152 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 5: You know, I got such a kick out of the 153 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 5: whole press conference a couple of weeks ago when they 154 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 5: asked him how much you wait and you know. 155 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 4: Go back and look at earlier Philip Rivers and. 156 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 5: Him now, but still like you said, he's driving the 157 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 5: ball down the field, making big time throws. 158 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 4: The guy's an inspiration to me. I love him. 159 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: You did a project with NFL Films where you're evaluating quarterbacks. 160 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 2: So you talked to Troy, Steve Young, Warren Moon, Phil Simms, 161 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 2: Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, Josh Allen, 162 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, rock Perty, Jordan Love. What was the one thing? 163 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: Was there a common thread with all of these quarterbacks? 164 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 5: Well, it was a project that we've been thinking about 165 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 5: for a while, and last year we did something on 166 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 5: the evolution of the throwing motion. 167 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 4: You know, fifty years ago, Joe Namath was the best passor. 168 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it was just this beautiful motion they had. 169 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 5: And I got no conversation with Aaron Rodgers a couple 170 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 5: of years ago and I asked him. I said, hey, 171 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 5: you're as good as pastor as there's ever been. 172 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 4: Give me a thought. 173 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 5: I'm throwing and he starts describing the motion and I'm like, 174 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 5: what are you talking about? I mean, it was just 175 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 5: from out of the blue. I used to have this 176 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 5: name throwing sequence on my wall when I was growing up, and. 177 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 2: It was like how did you not understand this having 178 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: been a coach and a quarterback. 179 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 5: Well, he just starts talking about stuff that's I'm like, 180 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 5: what are you talking about. He's like, I like to 181 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 5: jump onto my left leg and I like to get 182 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: all my way to the inside of my left calf. 183 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: I'm like, what is that? 184 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 5: Nobody talks about that, and he always has a different 185 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 5: spin on stuff. But we did a deep dive in 186 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,079 Speaker 5: how throwing has changed, and it was really fun project. 187 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 5: We talked to all the guys and there's a lot 188 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 5: of amazing coaches working with players, particularly young players now 189 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 5: about throwing. 190 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 4: But I thought it was better to go to the 191 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: primary source. 192 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 5: So we talked to Rogers and Akeman and Prescott and 193 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 5: Breeze and all these guys about the motion and how 194 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 5: it's changed. And then that evolved into the misevaluation of quarterbacks. 195 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: You know, the project this year is it was a 196 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 5: two part series with NFL Films where hey, you know, 197 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: this is the most evaluated position, it's the most important position, 198 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 5: but it's also the most misevaluated position. And why So 199 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 5: I talked to all these guys and we came up 200 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,839 Speaker 5: with ten criteria for when you're when you're trying to 201 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: evaluate a quarterback. These are the most important things in order, 202 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 5: and and it was so much fun to hear these guys. 203 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 5: I mean, you know, seven eight nine Hall of Fame 204 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 5: quarterbacks talking about this and uh, you know, talking about 205 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 5: Philip Rivers. The first one that we came up with 206 00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 5: was passion for the game. I mean, if you don't 207 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 5: love football, I mean really love it, not love the 208 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 5: idea of it. Hey I'm gonna starting quarterback in the NFL, 209 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 5: but love it and everything that comes with it. You know, 210 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 5: you can't have success. And we went on and on 211 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: and we started we went, uh, you know, passion for football, 212 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 5: mental and physical toughness, and then who you are, your temperament, 213 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 5: your drive to be great, your leadership. And then it 214 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 5: was football intelligence, football instincts. And then we got to 215 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,599 Speaker 5: the stuff that everybody thinks about, you know. Accuracy was 216 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 5: the first physical trait, and then it was arm talent 217 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 5: and playmaking ability. 218 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 4: And the last one and. 219 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 5: It's the one it's the reason why I think we 220 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 5: miss a lot was the physical tools. What the guy 221 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 5: looks like, how big his hands are, you know, all 222 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 5: of that stuff that sometimes causes people to get enamored 223 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 5: with the guy at the combine and so to hear 224 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 5: these guys talk about all these things, these guys who 225 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 5: have done it at the highest level, it was so 226 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 5: much fun for me. 227 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 4: And if you get a chance to take a peek 228 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 4: at it, you learn a lot about football. 229 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, but why do we miss? 230 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 5: We miss because we start with number ten. Number ten 231 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 5: is the physical took the guy walks into the room. 232 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 5: And it's really derived from a comment my dad made 233 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 5: to me. I just finished playing playing and I became 234 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 5: the quarterback coach with the Dolphins, and my dad had 235 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 5: been a coach and a scout forever. 236 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 4: And we're on the phone as I was going to. 237 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 5: Indianapolis to the combine, and he said, you're going to 238 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 5: fall in love with someone by the way he looks 239 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 5: when he walks into the room and how he throws. 240 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 4: Remember, there's a lot more to playing quarterback than just that. 241 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 5: And he said, think about all the great guys you've 242 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,800 Speaker 5: been around, on what qualities they had, and go back 243 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 5: to that. And I always use Troy Aikman as the example, 244 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 5: because you know, he and I played together for eight 245 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 5: years and he is the prototype. He walks in the room, 246 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 5: It's like, that's what a quarterback looks like. His hands 247 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 5: wrap around the ball. He can throw it like nobody. 248 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 5: But I'll go to my graves saying what made Troy 249 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,040 Speaker 5: Aikman great was his mental toughness, his physical toughness, his 250 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 5: passion for the game, his heart to. 251 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 4: The day I die. 252 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 5: And I can give you countless examples of what that was. 253 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 5: And then you add all this great physical ability on 254 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 5: top of it, and that's why he gets the gold 255 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 5: jacket the day he retires. 256 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 3: Yeah. 257 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 2: I have said for a long long time, I want 258 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 2: to know if you love football, like, do you want 259 00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 2: to be great? 260 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 3: Like? 261 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 2: I have to know that part of it. It's not Hey, 262 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 2: I can throw the ball sixty yards. I want to 263 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: know do you truly love this game? Because this game 264 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 2: is going to rough you up. The highs are unbelievable, 265 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: the lows, and then you got to get yourself back up. 266 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 2: And this is where I think we miss that you 267 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 2: do fall in love and you go, man, that guy 268 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 2: looks like an NFL quarterback. I want a guy who's 269 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 2: going to nerd out and go, hey, let's go over 270 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: that defense we're going to face again, or you know, 271 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 2: let me I don't know it all. I want to 272 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: know it all, like I want to be a sponge 273 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 2: like all of those things. That's what you're trying to find. 274 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 5: And yeah, and think about all the great ones, the 275 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 5: best ones in all sports. Was Jordan's so much better 276 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 5: than everybody else? Physically? I mean he was incredible physically, 277 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 5: don't get me wrong. But was he so much better? 278 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 5: Tiger Woods so much better? Jack Nicholas so much better, 279 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 5: Fetter so much better. You know, it's the other stuff 280 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 5: that separates the greatest guys. And you know, the question 281 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 5: is how do you evaluate it? And you know, I 282 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 5: used to have my favorite combine question. I used to 283 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: ask every player, particularly quarterbacks. I said, say the kid 284 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 5: came from Ohio State. Hey, there's one hundred guys at 285 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,719 Speaker 5: Ohio State. We're going to rank you, guys one through 286 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 5: one hundred based on one criteria how much you love football. 287 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 5: One loves at the most, hundred loves oft the least. 288 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 5: And I said, we're going to ask your teammate, your coaches, 289 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 5: and every staff member at Ohio State to rank you 290 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 5: one through one hundred and provide the evidence of the ranking. 291 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 5: And invariably, Dan the guy would say. 292 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 4: Oh, I'd be number one. 293 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 3: I love ball. 294 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 5: It's just a feeling inside of me all that I'm like, 295 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 5: that's not the question the questions. We're asking the people 296 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 5: around you to rank you and provide the evidence. It's 297 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 5: not a feeling.

Sixty percent prefer to host. 361 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 8: And then we also have who's more to blame for 362 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 8: the USC and Notre Dame rivalry going away? Notre Dame 363 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 8: has fifty eight percent. Oh oh, that's great. What are 364 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 8: we gonna go with the the final hour? I got 365 00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 8: one here from Paul who is asking if Philip Rivers 366 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 8: is helping his Hall of Fame chances or hurting his 367 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 8: Hall of Fame chances. 368 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: I think he's doing both because he's helping right now, 369 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: but by delaying five years, like he's going to be 370 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 2: up against Aaron Rodgers probably, Yeah, Paul, I. 371 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 9: Think he's lightly helping his Hall of Fame case because 372 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 9: he doesn't have a big hook besides numbers and longevity. 373 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 10: He doesn't have a Super Bowl, a lot of moments. 374 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 9: But I think this puts a pretty good spin on 375 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 9: the end of his career and people will remember that 376 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 9: in five years. 377 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, not huge, it's good story. Good story. You just 378 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 2: you know, you wonder what quarterbacks are going to be 379 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: retiring and what kind of numbers are they going to 380 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: have Are they going to have an MVP and or 381 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 2: a Super Bowl? I'm assuming Matthew Stafford the way he's 382 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,640 Speaker 2: played this year, is going to want to play at 383 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 2: least another year. I don't know about Aaron Rodgers, so 384 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 2: you've got to factor that in as well. That now 385 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 2: you've moved the clock, you know it's five five more years. 386 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 2: By the way, it's a meat Tuesday. We just had 387 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: some biscuits and gravy. We also have steak and eggs, bacon, 388 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 2: hash browns.

I think 588 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 3: I was late, maybe out of my whole eighteen year 589 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 3: career to a practice once, and it was because of 590 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 3: a snowstorm, a rare snowstorm in Indiana. I wasn't a 591 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,480 Speaker 3: great driver in snow and I was probably late fifteen 592 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 3: minutes late to a practice. 593 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 2: Okay, So you weren't like iverson never never? 594 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 3: I was always I'm military. 595 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 2: You're right, hello, But how tough was your dad on? 596 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 2: All of you guys, you and your brother and your 597 00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:05,240 Speaker 2: sister like being a military like even when you show 598 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: up for this show like you're showing up early every time, 599 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: early every time. But what was growing up in the household. 600 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: Because if you're five minutes early, you're really five minutes late. 601 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 3: I just like to be prepared. I like things to work, 602 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 3: as everyone knows. I just things flow better with me 603 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: when things are organized. So I like, I like to 604 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 3: come to you guys and make sure the picture looks good, 605 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 3: we sound good. Growing up in the middle of the household, 606 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 3: it was, you know, throw the corter off the bed 607 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 3: and make sure it bounced once or twice. He we 608 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: led this kind of life just because I think it 609 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 3: helped in sports because we were always first or second 610 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 3: to practice. You got extra time. We always stayed late. 611 00:31:55,120 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 3: It just now my kids now don't like it. Like, Dad, 612 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 3: you aren't in the military. We can see Papa, but 613 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 3: you weren't in the military. I was like, well, I'm 614 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 3: a product. 615 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, but you're not making the bed now at home? 616 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 3: Hello, Yes, I am really yes. 617 00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 2: Can you make the bed better than your wife? 618 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely, she's not making the bed. No, she does a 619 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 3: great job of helping me make the bed. Courtshe we 620 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 3: instilled in our kids that doing chores are something that 621 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 3: kids are supposed to do. 622 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,360 Speaker 2: Lakers play the Suns tonight. How long will it take 623 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 2: for Dylan Brooks to get into it with Lebron? 624 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 3: I think it started right up about now. Look, we 625 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 3: love we love the antics. These two have have had 626 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 3: a history. What I just found out, which was a 627 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 3: little surprising. How you know they both shared an agent, 628 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 3: you know, with Rich Paula. I know they were both 629 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 3: under the same umbrella. So these two guys, I don't 630 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 3: know if it's if it's an actor for show or 631 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 3: if it's real. But it's popcorn. I'm gonna tune in 632 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: to see the highlights after my game. I want to see. 633 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 2: But you know, you see we we had this with 634 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 2: Dennis Rodman and Carl Malone. But I don't know how 635 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: many agitators there are or you kind of like Draymond 636 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 2: Green is a great agitator. 637 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 3: Well, we thought that was on case in point last night. 638 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 2: No, I know his coach. 639 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 3: Look, I think he had a Latrell spree. Well and 640 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 3: PJ Carlissimo flashback moment. 641 00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,320 Speaker 2: You think he was gonna go after Steve. 642 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 3: I don't think he was gonna put hands on Steve Carr. 643 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,320 Speaker 3: I think there's too much respect there. But I think 644 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 3: he thought about the consequences, and I think he did 645 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 3: the mature thing and removed himself from the situation. Everyone's 646 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 3: going to go back and dissect everything that happened that 647 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 3: led up to that. I think it was a turnover. Now, 648 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 3: getting back on defense, Look, if you're the Warriors, if 649 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 3: you would have told me after thirty games, this team 650 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,719 Speaker 3: would be fifteen and fifteen and in the plan, I 651 00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,760 Speaker 3: would have looked at you crazy, only from the simple 652 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 3: fact of how they ended the season. Last year after 653 00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,719 Speaker 3: the trade for Jimmy Butler, they were one of the 654 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 3: top five teams, especially defensively. Fast forward to this year. 655 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 3: Defensively they are horrible and they can't seem to close 656 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 3: games with one of the best closers in the game 657 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 3: and Stephen Curry. So look, emotions are building up. I 658 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:47,080 Speaker 3: applaud Draymond for removing himself from the situation. So he's 659 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 3: not a part of the Latrell's Free Well PJ. Carlissimo history. 660 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,799 Speaker 3: But where there's smoke, there's fire. A little bit that's 661 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,959 Speaker 3: going on with the Warriors right now. 662 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 2: Thunder have lost two of their last four, and I 663 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: don't know if this is where you go, Okay, we 664 00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 2: don't have to try to go for the Golden State 665 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,280 Speaker 2: Warriors record. Let's it's it's It's just like the Spurs 666 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 2: mentality with Greg Popovich. I don't care what our record 667 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 2: is until we get to the postseason. I know this 668 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: is a young Oklahoma City team and you want to 669 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 2: have your mark and leave your mark. But man, I 670 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 2: want you ready to go in May and June. I 671 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,200 Speaker 2: don't care that you have seventy four seventy five wins. 672 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 2: I want to know that you won the title. 673 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 3: I hope that's some of the conversations that are being 674 00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,319 Speaker 3: had in that locker room again. And you mentioned this, 675 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: and you are one correct. This is a young team 676 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 3: fresh off a championship, and if you want to be 677 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,799 Speaker 3: in the same breath as like a Chicago Bulls, well, 678 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,840 Speaker 3: the Chicago Bulls have that seventy two and ten record 679 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 3: and winning the championship. Yeah. Now, remember Golden State Eclipse 680 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 3: that but lost the championship, but was were awarded Kevin 681 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,160 Speaker 3: Durant in the process and then went on to win 682 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: back to back championship. So if you're the thunder, do 683 00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,839 Speaker 3: you want to be put in that Vein or if 684 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 3: you go back to back, you're already yeah. I mean 685 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 3: you're with the Warriors, you're with the Bulls. So I 686 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 3: don't think winning and eclipsing that Golden State record is 687 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 3: that important. I think again, I've always said this on 688 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 3: the show. Playing well the end of March in April 689 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 3: and moving on is the most important thing. As long 690 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,600 Speaker 3: as health, that's the number one key. If Shay continues 691 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 3: to be healthy, he's on that unbelievable one hundred I 692 00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,240 Speaker 3: think it's one hundred games now, scoring twenty plus points. 693 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,600 Speaker 3: And now they've got their their pipping back and j Dubbs. 694 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 3: So this team again is gonna continue to roll. I 695 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:56,720 Speaker 3: just hope they don't go after it at the sake 696 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 3: of winning a championship and tiring out some guys. 697 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 2: If Golden State had won that championship instead of the Cavaliers, 698 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,799 Speaker 2: would Kevin you never get Durant. That's why I was saying. 699 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,439 Speaker 2: I was gonna say that never would have happened, right. 700 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 3: Never would have happened, because remember during that OKC and 701 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 3: Russell Westbrook and KD they were up three to one 702 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 3: on that team and lost, and then if they went 703 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 3: on to win the championship, he doesn't like, Oh okay, 704 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 3: well I'll join them now. That was kind of the 705 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 3: door was a little bit open for them to join them. Hey, 706 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 3: you guys want seventy three games, but you didn't win 707 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 3: the championship. He joins them. They went back to back. 708 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 3: He's finals MVP back to back, so he has his chips. 709 00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,480 Speaker 3: But if the Warriors won that, in my humble opinion, 710 00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 3: I don't believe KD would have joined them. 711 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,800 Speaker 2: Talking to Reggie Miller, NBC Sports, NBA lead game analysts, 712 00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,680 Speaker 2: the Rockets at the Clippers and the Clippers, that's a 713 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 2: bad situation. 714 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 3: It is a way around. But again, I think the 715 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 3: writing was on the wall even before they rolled the 716 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:10,759 Speaker 3: balls out for training camp with the whole Kawai aspirations 717 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 3: and money under the table and circumventing the salary cap. 718 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 2: How often do you think this happens, rech I mean, 719 00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,759 Speaker 2: let's just look at this from a business perspective of 720 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 2: I can pay you this, and all of these guys 721 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 2: are billionaires. I can give you side money, I can 722 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,400 Speaker 2: give you something that you'll be papping. 723 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 3: It absolutely happens because you have so many sponsors in 724 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 3: house where it could be a commercial here, or an appearance, 725 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:47,000 Speaker 3: a few appearances here. But when there's a track record 726 00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 3: of you never showing up for X amount of dollars, 727 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 3: I mean, that's a red flag. It's a red flag. 728 00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 3: It happens. But they got hot. 729 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,560 Speaker 2: Basically, Yeah, I have to believe there are some marquee 730 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 2: players who've gotten side deals. We can pay you this 731 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 2: under the salary cap. We're going to entice you by 732 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,239 Speaker 2: giving you this. 733 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 3: I'm sure it happens. It never happened this way. I 734 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 3: wish it would have in Indiana. 735 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,160 Speaker 2: Now, when you were at UCLA and you had no 736 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,799 Speaker 2: show jobs, what were they what were they giving you 737 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 2: back then? 738 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,720 Speaker 3: Giving me? Well, now that we can talk about things 739 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,319 Speaker 3: because of the nil wow they gave me. No, I 740 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 3: had free housing. I will say that I had a 741 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,480 Speaker 3: plush free housing. And I to tell you truth, I 742 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 3: was the original fresh press fresh Prince of bel Air 743 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 3: because I did have a nice free housing in bel Air. 744 00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,879 Speaker 2: Now, so I was the original Okay, but how does 745 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,520 Speaker 2: that work that you got a free crib in bel Air? 746 00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,560 Speaker 2: That was it like somebody's paying your rent? 747 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 3: Well, no, it was a mansion. 748 00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 2: And wait, but you Kato Kaelin before Kato. 749 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,400 Speaker 3: Kalan I was the fresh prince and I was kato' 750 00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 3: kalen exactly. 751 00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 2: You were Kato Kaelin with a jump shot there. Okay, 752 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:21,280 Speaker 2: I like that. 753 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 3: That was the real perk. That was the only perk 754 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 3: I had because again back to my military dad, My 755 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 3: dad didn't want other people having favors over you, you know, 756 00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,800 Speaker 3: because he was like, hey, they're always gonna want something, 757 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,960 Speaker 3: so always gonna want something. So Pops was kind of 758 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:39,680 Speaker 3: he had a hand on it as well. 759 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm not sure how often you get on these courts 760 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,880 Speaker 2: that we had during the Cup that they're painted, and 761 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 2: some players have talked about their slippery, like did you 762 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,160 Speaker 2: notice a difference in a regular game court and for 763 00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:56,479 Speaker 2: the Cup when they dress him. 764 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,880 Speaker 3: Up, the gloss can be a little bit different. I 765 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 3: wasn't on any dish, but last year when we did 766 00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,840 Speaker 3: do games, it wasn't so much to them being slippery. 767 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 3: It was sightlines and they were so bright for a shooter. 768 00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:11,720 Speaker 3: Some of the glare from the lights because we remember 769 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,440 Speaker 3: now that the lights are coming down from the top, 770 00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: the glare would be a little bit outstanding. But look, 771 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 3: it's a marketing thing. I get it, and in today's 772 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 3: age of Nintendo and all these ps fives and kids 773 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,200 Speaker 3: liked the shiny new things. That's where we're at with this, Theodore. 774 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,640 Speaker 2: The worst court you ever played on. 775 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 3: Without the shining you mean person that I played on? 776 00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, the worst court you ever played on? 777 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 3: The old Sports Arena where the Clippers used to play 778 00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:47,760 Speaker 3: before they moved. Wasn't great. The old Sports Arena Downtown terrible, 779 00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:48,840 Speaker 3: terrible for your knees. 780 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 2: What about Boston Garden. Yeah, but there's history and oh 781 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: you were okay with it. Yeah, but there's gaps in 782 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,920 Speaker 2: the there is, but. 783 00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 3: It's history in there, all right. I like to hit 784 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 3: that at the old Chicago Stadium, the roar of the 785 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 3: crowd for him. 786 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:05,880 Speaker 2: That the. 787 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 3: Atmosphere was great. I like playing in places like that. 788 00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 2: The best shooting arena. 789 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:21,919 Speaker 3: I'm gonna say, MSG, no question, it is the best 790 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:26,200 Speaker 3: arena in my opinion. It the smell of the zoo 791 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 3: and the popcorn elephants in the back, the Broadway lighting, 792 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,279 Speaker 3: the celebrities in the front row. You see nothing but 793 00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 3: court and the front row and you it's it is 794 00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:43,399 Speaker 3: the best place to play the best by far. 795 00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,440 Speaker 2: The Spurs seem to be ahead of schedule. 796 00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:54,960 Speaker 3: Yes, Listen, they have taken a page. And this is 797 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,600 Speaker 3: how you know we're a copycat league. Look at the 798 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,200 Speaker 3: success of the Thunder. You build through the draft, you 799 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 3: get all these guards that can pick you up full court. 800 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 3: They have a generational type player. Thunder have SDA, the 801 00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 3: Spurs have Wimby. Yeah, both got young coaches that are innovative. 802 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 3: They both play deep nine ten and everyone plays the 803 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 3: same way and they play for one another. And you 804 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,920 Speaker 3: see more teams doing that. The young Chicago Bulls are 805 00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 3: trying to do that. The Pacers were on this path 806 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:36,799 Speaker 3: until how he got hurt, with young players all being 807 00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,839 Speaker 3: able to play one way, and you're just seeing a 808 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 3: trend happen and the Spurs right now. To me, the 809 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 3: only thing is can Wimby make it to the finish line? 810 00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:49,239 Speaker 3: Healthy health will be the only thing with him, But 811 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 3: they've shown without him they continue to win. But they're 812 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,720 Speaker 3: a much better team defensively when he's in the lineup. 813 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm wondering who he reminds you of. 814 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:05,600 Speaker 3: Defensively, I think he's a mixture of Hakeem Elijah On 815 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 3: with his instincts but being able to block shots and 816 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:15,399 Speaker 3: intimidate a lot like to Kim Bay a little bit. 817 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 3: I think he's a hybrid of those two. And then 818 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,360 Speaker 3: a lot of people don't want to talk about Ralph Sampson. 819 00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 3: I think Ralph Sampson at that size was ahead of 820 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 3: the game as well. I think he kind of his 821 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,040 Speaker 3: name gets lost in the shuffle in terms of describing Wimby. 822 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 3: Ralph Samson Hall of Famer. Ralph Sampson was great at 823 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,920 Speaker 3: both ends of the floe, a lot like Wimby. 824 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine Ralp Samson Now then we wouldn't have 825 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 2: any problem with seven four guy playing on the perimeter. 826 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,240 Speaker 2: But back then you're like, what are you doing? Get inside? 827 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 2: Your coach would always say, whatever, get inside. 828 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 3: See how the game has changed because when Ralph was around, 829 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,240 Speaker 3: it was all about the big man and being inside, 830 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,880 Speaker 3: Moses Malone, Patrick Ewing, I mean all the kareem. He 831 00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,280 Speaker 3: grew up in that era where the game was played 832 00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:10,480 Speaker 3: inside out. Today the game is played outside in and 833 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 3: Wimby's in this generation. And if Ralph Stamson played today 834 00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,040 Speaker 3: and his skill set like a former teammate of mine, 835 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 3: would be unbelievable in today's game. Rick Smith's would be 836 00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:27,560 Speaker 3: great in today's game at seven, two seven, three, could 837 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 3: face up shoot, great passer, he would be great in 838 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:31,839 Speaker 3: today's game. 839 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 2: But where is the evolution, Like, what what's the next 840 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 2: evolution of the NBA ten doars from now? 841 00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,760 Speaker 3: Dare I say there may be a four point shot? 842 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 2: Would you be in favor of that? 843 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 3: The game, everything evolves, life evolves. I would. I have 844 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,520 Speaker 3: no problem with that. Now, it's going to mess up 845 00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 3: the records. If I'm Stephen Curry, I would be upset 846 00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,720 Speaker 3: with that. But in ten years I wouldn't be surprised 847 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:05,080 Speaker 3: if there's a four point line. 848 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 2: What about removing the three point. 849 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,480 Speaker 3: Line all together? 850 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:10,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 851 00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:14,600 Speaker 3: I think that adds flair to it. That will never happen. 852 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:18,319 Speaker 3: That adds too much flair. But you mean, just have 853 00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 3: a four point line or just have two pointers? 854 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 2: Have a four point line? 855 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,239 Speaker 3: Oh? I like that. Then I can do that. 856 00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 2: But is basketball okay? I know we go old school 857 00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 2: and get caught up in the esthetics of basketball. I'm 858 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,360 Speaker 2: not talking about the nineties when it wasn't, you know, 859 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:36,440 Speaker 2: statically pleasing, except for the bulls. But it's just a 860 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 2: lot of threes? Is that good? Is that good for 861 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 2: the game? 862 00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,200 Speaker 3: I would love to see a little bit more inside play. 863 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:54,080 Speaker 3: But the game has become international universal. There's a lot 864 00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,239 Speaker 3: of people that are progressive that want to push the 865 00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:00,160 Speaker 3: game forward. 866 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,400 Speaker 2: You ever widen the court? Can you widen the courts? 867 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 2: Can you? Would you ever consider raising the basket? 868 00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 3: No? 869 00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 2: Okay, what would you widen the court? 870 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,400 Speaker 3: Look, if you widen the court again, you're taking revenue 871 00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 3: away from these owners. No, you got to factor that in. 872 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 2: I know, I know, I know. It's just these guys 873 00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,080 Speaker 2: are getting so big and there's only so much room 874 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 2: out there. Like there's certain guys who can't go to 875 00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,920 Speaker 2: the corner because their shoes would probably be out of 876 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 2: bound and be on the line. 877 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 3: Look, I would be in favor of widening it a 878 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:45,439 Speaker 3: little bit. I would be okay with a four point play. 879 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,799 Speaker 3: Maybe they would, I mean, they would have to tell 880 00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,840 Speaker 3: me how this would work. Or maybe bring in a 881 00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:52,480 Speaker 3: four point play the last three minutes of a game. 882 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,399 Speaker 3: I don't know. Look, we're hitting gimmicky a little bit. 883 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 3: I would just like to see a little bit more 884 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 3: inside play. It was so good when you had dominant 885 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 3: big men who could, you know, play with their back 886 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,200 Speaker 3: to the basket. You just don't see a lot of 887 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:08,720 Speaker 3: that anymore. 888 00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,520 Speaker 2: What about a red, white and blue basketball. 889 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:15,000 Speaker 3: Hey, you know, have a favor of that, My ABA guys, 890 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:19,799 Speaker 3: Uncle Belle Daniels, Roger Brown, Bob Nettlicky come on. 891 00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,719 Speaker 2: Now, would you be in favor of a red white, 892 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:22,200 Speaker 2: blue ball? 893 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 3: I would. I like that. It was so cool. 894 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 2: It was great, you know when you had when you're 895 00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 2: shooting and you had that backsman. 896 00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 3: That looked that was fire back in the day. 897 00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 2: But I know, all right, well, we'll see if we 898 00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 2: can get the commissioner on. I'll make some suggestions. 899 00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,800 Speaker 3: I think it's they're going overseas first. That's their first 900 00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,439 Speaker 3: order of business from what I've been hearing. Yeah, we're 901 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 3: gonna have a European league. How that will work, I 902 00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 3: don't know, but I think that's first. 903 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,360 Speaker 2: And I was here in some of the price tags. 904 00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 2: I'm talking to somebody who was actually helping to negotiate 905 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 2: in a city over there, and he was telling me 906 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,000 Speaker 2: numbers and I go, man, are they going to be 907 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,440 Speaker 2: able to raise that kind of money over here? And 908 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 2: he said, yeah, they're playing the long game with this, 909 00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:15,200 Speaker 2: and that the basketball, a European Basketball League is coming, 910 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 2: so you're gonna have, you know, Madrid and Barcelona and 911 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,040 Speaker 2: you know it.
