WEBVTT - Hour 3 - Frank Isola, Marcellus Wiley 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.240 Sports Radio Final Hour on this Wednesday. Got some breaking 0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:12.280 news here from Forbes dot com. Dan Snyder hires Bank 0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.880 of America to sell the Washington Commanders. Don't have a 0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.919 second source on it, but Forbes dot com is reporting 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:24.680 that that Dan Snyder has hired somebody to help him 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:28.680 sell the Commanders. Got other information, Paulie, Yeah, it's hard 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:30.840 because this Forbes story is behind a paywall. But the 0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:33.360 second paragraphs as according to someone familiar with the process, 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.479 Daniel Snyder already has at least four calls from groups 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.600 interested buying the team. Snyder and his bankers are exploring 0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:42.240 all options. Keep in mind the latest deal for a team, 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.279 Rob Walton. He spent four point six five billion in 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:51.600 early August. Forbes values the Commanders at five point six billion. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.960 That's sixth among the league's thirty two teams. Now, you 0:00:56.000 --> 0:00:58.760 do have location to factor in, but as far as 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.800 what he's done for this team, I'm surprised that they're 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:07.320 the sixth most valuable team franchise among the thirty two teams. 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.840 He also owns the field as well, FedEx Field. That's 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.679 and the two hundred and sixty four acres around it, 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.160 as well as one hundred and fifty acres at the 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:21.360 team's headquarters in Virginia. Yes, Polly, do you it seems 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.399 to be this is a pretty shocking story. But the 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.520 past couple months or so has been a lot of 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.800 heat on Daniel Snyder. Do you think he got an 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:30.120 inkling that there may be an owner vote in the 0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.119 off season that's pending and wants to beat the rush 0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:38.560 and choose to leave. I don't know. It feels like 0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:42.720 whenever we think there's something amiss, something's going on, something's 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.080 going to happen with Daniel Snyder, he just goes on 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:47.480 his yacht in the south of France and then waits 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:50.400 till it all blows over. Also, keep in mind, you 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.760 know when they change their name from the Redskins the 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.640 Washington football team. First of all, I thought why not 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.560 do it just you know, from a selfish perspective of 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.920 look at all the revenue I can make. I thought 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.640 Daniel Snyder would look at it that way. They had 0:02:06.680 --> 0:02:13.320 a forty percent surge in revenue this season when they 0:02:13.760 --> 0:02:17.079 changed to the Commanders. There they also have the biggest 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.840 sponsorship deal ever with SeatGeek so there's a lot of 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.800 things in play here with this Washington football team. Commanders 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.359 also looking to find a location for a new stadium. 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.720 And I'll go back this has been years ago when 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:34.560 I was told by somebody with the NFL they were 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.160 going to make Daniel Snyder if he was going to 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.639 get a new stadium and move closer to Washington, DC, 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.640 that he had to change the nickname. Well, he's changed 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.359 the nickname and he's looking for a new stadium, or 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.440 at least he was. But why now? I think it's 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.000 a great question. What is happening, what could be happening? 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.079 Or is Daniel Snyder just ready to go? That's it. 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.600 I'm going to close up shop here, move on and 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:03.800 take his billions with him. Some of the other headlines. 0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:05.880 Then we'll bring in Frank A. Sola to talk about 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:07.520 what's going on with the Nets, who put up a 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:12.320 spirited performance last night against the Bulls in Brooklyn. Phillies 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.920 rolled the Astros. They hit five home runs in the 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:19.160 first five innings. They're up to one. The Dolphins getting 0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:23.720 Bradley Chubb t J. Hockinson to the Vikings, Chase Claypool 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.519 goes to the Bears and in case you're wondering how 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.000 impactful these trades were. Miami is now thirty to one 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.960 to win the Super Bowl. That's up from thirty five 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.560 to one. The Ravens no change whatsoever, eighteen to one 0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.800 after picking up Roquan Smith from Chicago. The Vikings started 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:43.760 out the season forty to one. The Vikings are now 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.320 eighteen to one, and they picked up T. J. Hawkinson 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.600 from Detroit. Yeah, Paul, there's a little bit of a 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.480 qualifier in here. Albert Brewer, our buddy, went through the 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:56.600 story Forbes on Daniel Snyder. Ye quote, transaction could be 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.320 for the entire NFL team or a minority state, So 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:03.600 that does not necessarily mean he's completely selling the team 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.680 could catch by Albert Brier. Stat of the Day brought 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.120 to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:11.920 the Dan Patrick Show. Sunday Night, Derrick Henry Titans face 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.520 off against Patrick Mahomes in The Chiefs seven Eastern on 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.880 NBC and Peacock Frank Asla, the net studio host and 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.520 Sirius XM NBA Radio the starting lineup, and a contributor 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.640 to Around the Horn. Pardon the interruption, Where do you 0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:29.800 want to start? Frank, I think we should start here. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:31.560 I need to work on this show as well, because 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.200 I'm just like your crew. I don't subscribe to some 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.479 of these you know, websites and accounts. So you guys 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.120 are only reading up to where it starts, where it 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.560 says you have to subscribe. How great, So there was 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.640 some huge breaking story. I love how you guys started 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.919 out there. If anybody else has read the rest of 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.840 the story, can you kind of call in and tell 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:52.080 us what it's calling out? That is absolutely brilliant. Yeah, 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.680 there's cost cutting measures here, Frank. You know I don't 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.640 work for ESPN anymore. It's behind a paywall. Guys, you 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.440 can't say the rest of the store. We just saw 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.520 the data side. We think he wants to sell the team. 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.200 That's great, all right, help me understand. Let me play 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.200 it for everybody. Here. Here's Kevin Durant being asked the 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:15.320 question yesterday, when did you find out about Steve? How 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:19.360 were you informed about one fifteen? I woke up from 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:21.359 my nap and turned to the right and saying on 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.880 ESPN and what were your I mean initial reaction. I mean, 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.359 everybody knows what's what went on this summer, but What 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.839 was your first thought when you saw that? Oh? Shocked. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.640 I mean you always shocked when a move like this happens. 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.040 But it's normal in the NBA, you know, So it's 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.360 about getting ready for the game tonight. So it's a 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:39.839 quick termer always in the league, you know, especially during 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:42.000 the season. You know you got practice games coming up, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.080 so you can't think too much about it. But it 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.920 was on a mindful a little bit today. Yeah, how 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:49.600 could he be shocked? I'm shocked that he shocked because 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.640 he wanted this guy fired in the offseason. Do you 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:57.160 think Nets management ran this by Kevin Durant? Oh? Come on. 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:59.760 If they didn't, he clearly made it, made it known 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.920 the summer, and Brian Lewis from the New York Post 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:04.120 was one to ask that question. I like Brian, but 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.040 I really don't care what Kevin Durant was. It wasn't 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.600 where were you when man landed on the Moon? I 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.600 don't care what Kevin Durant was doing. And to use 0:06:09.600 --> 0:06:12.840 the word shock, come on now, Kevin. Over the summer, 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.440 the report came out that you said, Sean Marks the GM, 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.760 Steve Nash, the head coach, go or I go one 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:22.880 or the other. Then they all came together and said, well, 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:24.480 that's not going to happen. But come on, Dan, we've 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:26.600 been doing this for a long time. When a superstar 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:28.880 player comes out and says something like that, the clock 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.680 is clearly ticking. You start off under Steve Nash two 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.560 and five, You cannot tell me that you're shocked, and 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.719 then choking up to well this is normally in an NBA. 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.000 Really is it really a norm? It happens all the 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.800 time where a star player first demands to be traded, 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:42.960 then when that's not going to work out, he says, 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:44.760 we'll tell you what, get rid of the coach and 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.039 the GM, then I'll come back. So Kevin Durant being 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.320 slightly disingenuous there. I just wish someone had said to him, 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.640 do you feel like what you did over the summer 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:56.880 contributed at the very least to Steve Nash being fired? 0:06:56.920 --> 0:06:58.440 Because we all know that it did. Come on, I 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.440 would like for them to take some owner ship here. 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.719 I know it's not going to happen, but you know, 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:05.159 just say, look, you know it didn't work out. We 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.120 wanted him here, and you know part of the I'll 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.360 take part of the blame. Like I love I'd love 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.080 for one of these guys to just do that, but they, 0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:16.200 you know, they push it away. Um. You know, then 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.440 you got the Kyrie situation. They didn't even let him, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.400 let him get in front of the media yesterday. How 0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:24.600 does this play out with the Nets and or the 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.200 NBA with with Kyrie? And to your point too about 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.240 the accountability, always say, you know, the great thing about 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:32.760 player of empowerment is you know, you get to call 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.880 all the shots, but you're never held accountable when when 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:37.640 the whole thing falls apart. And that's kind of where 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.280 Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant certainly are right now. I 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:41.800 don't know it's gonna play out if it's gonna be 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:43.360 emay A Dooke, and I get it. He coached here 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.360 for one year and Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving. From everything 0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:48.800 that we've heard, they like emay Adoca, I felt like 0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.880 they like Steve Nash and back Monday night against Indiana, 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.880 the Nets played really well. I had heard that on 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.320 Saturday night after they were terrible against Indiana, Steve Nash 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.480 really lit into the players, including Kevin Durant. It was 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.560 a little back fourth there. So this idea that he 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.400 lost the locker room, then they wouldn't have competed like 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:07.160 that on Monday night against Indiana. But to me, this 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.440 is a hail mary by the organization for Emay Yudoka. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:12.720 Let's see if he could save the season. It's still 0:08:12.800 --> 0:08:16.360 only November two, so you know, guys that were signed 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.840 over the summer, they become eligibly betrayed. You know, it's 0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.080 either starts December fifteenth or in January. So I still 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.640 think there's a chance that something can happen. They'll revisit 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.480 all those teams, Phoenix, Miami, who knows, maybe the Golden 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:31.080 State Warriors. So I think all that stuff with Kevin 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.160 Durant is going to start up again, especially if the 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:35.520 Nets continue on this path with it right now one 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:37.440 of the worst teams in the Eastern Conference. We know 0:08:37.520 --> 0:08:40.360 that you can't just have this transaction where you go, 0:08:40.440 --> 0:08:42.280 we're gonna fire a coach and then we're gonna hire 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.559 a coach, and you do that over forty eight or 0:08:44.600 --> 0:08:47.360 seventy two hours. How long has this been in the 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.559 works do you think behind the scene? You know, And 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:52.200 it's a great point. I said the same thing. You know, 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:54.959 who knows when they first how do you know that 0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:58.560 when they first suspended the Celtics suspended Emay Yudoka, the 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.439 Nets didn't reach out, then that's very possible. You cannot 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:04.480 tell me that over the last forty eight hours, you 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.719 fired Steve Nash, you contacted the Boston Celtics, which is 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:11.000 a complicated situation, and you almost have an agreement in 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.560 place with Emaya Dooka. I'm not buying that. So clearly 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.720 this has been something that's been going on for a while. 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:17.840 Could it have been as far back as last week 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:20.640 could have been, you know, Saturday night after the lost 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.840 Indiana Perhaps it started then. But the wheels have been 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.240 turning on something like this because it's a very unique situation. 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:29.560 That guy's currently suspended by his own team for a 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:32.040 full season he served. Right now, I think it's about 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.000 thirty thirty one days, and it looks like he could 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.600 be coaching the Nets at some point this weekend or 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:40.920 maybe next week. I don't understand how the Celtics can go, Oh, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.480 you like you want him. He was coaching the year 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.120 for us. You can have him. We don't want any 0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:49.880 compensation like that would really concern me if I'm a 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:52.960 Celtic fan, you have all the leverage here, why not 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.280 just say we want a first round pick for the 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.640 guy who was the coach of the year. Granted he suspended, 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:02.800 But if I'm the Nets and I'm getting Udoka, do 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.200 I know exactly what happened with the Boston Celtics with 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.839 that relationship, And I think part of it too is 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:11.120 getting off of his money, so now you don't have 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.120 to worry about negotiating a buy out with him, which 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:14.720 I think that was probably the net or a settlement. 0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:16.640 I should say that was going to be the situation 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:19.480 with emay Yudoka. But to your point, and now I 0:10:19.480 --> 0:10:22.880 think the Celtics could this could cause some trouble in 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:27.040 their locker room as well, because Emayyadoka obviously popular with 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:30.120 the players there, especially the star players Jason Tatum, Jalen Brown, 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.120 Marcus Smart. Wouldn't they be saying, well, hang on a second, 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.920 he can't coach our team, but he's allowed to go 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.400 coach a team in our division, a team that we 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.200 lost it two years ago in the playoffs, and he 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.080 gets to coach Kevin Duran and Kyrie Irving now, but 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.040 he can't coach us. We just went to a finals 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.640 that doesn't make any sense. When does the NBA engage 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.920 with Kyrie Irving here? I don't know. It seemed like 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.480 they were a little late on it. I mean they 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:57.199 did come out and release a statement last week. Kyrie 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.559 Irving's name was not included in this statement. Also, the 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.160 players association with Leas's statement, I think it was yesterday. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.800 Kyrie Irving's name was not mentioned in the statement. I 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.720 just don't understand why Kyrie Irving. I have a funny 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:09.600 feeling that he didn't watch the entire documentary. Why he 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.840 just doesn't come out and say I heard about this, 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:15.400 about this documentary, what my friend or what I read 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.200 about it. I had no idea it included all these things. 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.920 He didn't apologize, Frank and you know and Dan. The 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.160 problem is if he apologized and explained it like that, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.200 I think most people would say, yeah, I understand, and 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.920 people want to be forgiving. Instead, he's digging his heels 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.720 and except he did take the post down, the social 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.320 media post, and in the way that he played last night, 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.880 I don't know. Maybe he heard what Charles Brockley in 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:41.160 The Gang was saying about him during the pregame. Because 0:11:41.280 --> 0:11:44.680 Kyrie Irving had played very well up until last night. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:46.880 Last night he was completely out of it. Did not 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.800 score a point until the fourth quarter. He just wasn't himself. 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:53.439 So clearly the pressure, the pressure and the stress of 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:55.880 everything that's going on. I think it is finally getting 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.760 to him. Great to talk to you is always Frank. 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.800 Thanks for joining us. Good seeing you, guys. Take Frank Eisola, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.400 the net studio host on Yes also Serious x M 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.480 NBA Radio, the starting lineup and contributor to Around the 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:12.680 Horn And pardon the interruption. Uh, you know sometimes when 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:17.000 I'm too old. That's the problem when you're trying to 0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:21.160 figure out younger athletes, what they do, what they don't do, 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.800 why they do it, why they don't do it. You know, 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.160 they all want to have involvement in things. I'm a 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.520 star player, I get am I going to play? I'm 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:32.400 not going to play. I want to play a sort 0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:38.439 of one play I got. It gets tiring because I 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.880 was fortunate to grow up in a time where players 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:47.080 played not And I understand you want to rest your body, 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.200 you want to do all of this and long term 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:52.000 and all the money. I understand all of that, but 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:59.240 at some point play take accountability. Here be a man. 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:05.680 There's nothing wrong with saying, hey, my bad, Hey I apologize, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:09.559 Hey I screwed up. I know that. You know, not 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:12.839 many people like doing that now, but I'd love to 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:17.280 hear it where somebody just says my bad instead of 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.199 you just blow through the stop sign. You're like, I 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.800 didn't see it. I just you want athletes to play. 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.960 You want to know what you're buying when you go 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:30.760 see them play. You want them to play hard, they care. 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.840 There's no guarantees anymore with that. Yeah, that's kind of 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:39.080 the rough part about the NBA. Like I was taking 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.199 my son to go see the Lakers against the Nets. 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:43.400 I bought tickets the day of because I didn't know 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:45.480 if Lebron James will be playing that night. Sure I 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.640 had to. I will wait the day of and I'll 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:51.160 just buy tickets for you know, however much more it costs. 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:56.079 But you just don't know. And then I wonder if 0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.600 are the Nets gonna do anything? The Nets look bad 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.000 with Kyrie Irvin. I'm waiting for the NBA, but the 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:07.120 NBA might be waiting for the Nets to do something here. Yeah, Paul, 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:10.160 I want to go back to what Marvin said about Lebron. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.439 Lebron's like thirty eight years old. There's twenty five year 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.960 olds who are doing load management. Like if Lebron takes 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:19.640 a game off, that's almost understandable, and you know it 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.440 is a risk, and he's the biggest star in the 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.480 last generation. But when you see twenty five year olds 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.760 doing load management, other guys not playing and not playing 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.120 for different reasons that you're not really sure true or not, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.120 and taking seasons off and demanding traits, Lebron James is 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:34.960 a breath of fresh air in this category. He plays 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:37.680 heavy minutes when he plays. Now he doesn't miss somebody yet. 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.240 No one's got more mileage in NBA history, But it 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.800 means something. It feels like to him that he wants 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.360 to play. He wants to prove that at his age 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.960 he can still play with the younger players. You know, 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:51.440 the Clippers were the preseason favorites, and I said, well, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.400 I got a factor in Kawai. I don't know how 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:57.480 healthy he's going to be. I think they have a 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:01.160 really good roster. I don't have known. You know what's 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:04.760 Kawhi played two games so far. We start to look 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:09.440 do the math here that ain't good and I don't 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:11.960 know if we're getting to the point where, you know, 0:15:12.280 --> 0:15:15.960 maybe we should start talking about the end of Ka 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:19.720 Kawhi Leonard. Yeah, mor And if the Clippers don't win 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:23.520 a championship, Steve bamb Is gonna be like, wait, you paid, 0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.640 you played sixty games for you guys to lose in 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.560 the Western Conference finals or the finals, Like, look, you're 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:31.720 taking these days off because we think you're gonna bring 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.120 us a championship. That's the reason why we put up 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.720 with you taking all these days off. Yeah, pulling Kawhi 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:39.960 Leonard maybe have one of those injuries that just never 0:15:40.000 --> 0:15:43.040 responds and he becomes You remember a Mari Stodemeyer, he 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:45.720 just became a different player. Or Larry Johnson with his 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.440 back and I know there's a knee it's different than 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.600 but some players lose the explosiveness and just some surgeries 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.960 don't work. Like you said, why are they always successful? 0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:57.720 Sometimes they're not. Yeah, you know, I've had surgeries, but 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.400 nobody ever says, hey, it's six assful. I'm the one 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.400 that probably decides if it's going to be successful with 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.320 what I do after I've had surgery. Obj has had 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.000 two surgeries on that knee, and we just assume at 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:14.000 age thirty he's going to be able to come back 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.320 and be ob J and I would have a buyer 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:20.480 beware approach with this as wonderful as he can be 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:26.840 at age thirty and two surgeries. ACL No, no thanks. Yeah, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:30.040 it's a different sport, but you know, David Bactieri was 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.080 a pro bowler. I think once they all was all Pro. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:35.040 His last season he played. And he's just not coming back. 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:38.000 It's like every week he's probable and then they scratch him. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:40.360 For the Packers, he's a great offensive linement, but he's 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:42.280 in his prime and it's just he did not respond 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:44.880 to the surgeries. We're gonna talk to Marcelvis Wiley, the 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:48.360 former NFL Pro Bowl defensive end. Why didn't the Packers 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.120 make a move and the Cowboys didn't pull the trigger 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.440 on Brandon Cooks. You have a window of opportunity to 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:59.960 win a Super Bowl and management maybe failed Aaron Rodgers again, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.640 we'll take a break back after this Dan Patrick show. 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.400 I've got energy wall to wall, start to finish.

You 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:50.560 reconcile your relationship. What's your father talk about mending that 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:53.800 fence and how it all came full circle playing ball 0:18:54.280 --> 0:18:57.760 Daddy and I back with a great relationship and heading 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.679 to the league. Man that it was. It was one 0:19:00.680 --> 0:19:06.440 of the greatest moments in my life. Not understanding much 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:12.160 about my father now, So understand my father was older, 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:16.280 you know, he was let me do the mad forty 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:20.920 late forties. Yeah, so when he had me, he was 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.520 late forties. So I didn't get a chance to really 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.560 know him, know him until I got to college and 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:31.240 I can go back, you know, home and visit him. 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.680 And we used to sit on that porch. Marcellis man, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.840 my pops just sit on the porch and talk. And 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:41.520 I got a chance to understand a lot about myself. 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:47.159 Talking to him. That's LT and it's the latest podcast 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.160 from Marcellis Walley more too. It is the title with 0:19:50.400 --> 0:19:54.080 Marcellis Walley wherever you listen to podcast on so Dan 0:19:54.160 --> 0:19:57.760 Patrick dot com. Marcellis joins us on the program again. 0:19:57.840 --> 0:20:01.200 Give me the move yesterday that happened or didn't happen 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:06.359 where you went things that make you go man. A 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:09.080 lot of chips are getting pushed into the middle, a 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.320 lot of teams are going all in. You gotta love 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:14.840 what you see out of these Miami Dolphins right now 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.960 in a situation where they feel like they have what 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:21.200 they need to get over the hump. And when you 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.560 go out there and you get a pass rusher and 0:20:23.640 --> 0:20:26.520 you get a guy as tremendous as they did, all 0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:28.600 of a sudden, you start to look at this team 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:31.640 and you start to see how complete it looks. I've 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.240 always been a believer in tour, never understood why he 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.160 didn't have enough equity in terms of being a potential 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:41.560 franchise quarterback. Obviously got a little derailed this year because 0:20:41.600 --> 0:20:44.920 of the concussion and everything that happened earlier, but this 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:47.399 team believes in him now to the point where now 0:20:47.520 --> 0:20:49.200
