Speaker 1: this Friday. Trigger meet Friday at that we'll have to
Speaker 1: meet Friday songs. We actually have some meat on the grill.
Speaker 1: We got some brots and burgers trying to raise morale
Speaker 1: around here. We don't know what we're doing, which I
Speaker 1: can say that just about any day, but I can
Speaker 1: truly say that today we're not quite sure what we're doing,
Speaker 1: but we're all in this together, whether you're listening or watching,
Speaker 1: if you're watching on YouTube dot com, Slash, the Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show, or the FUNX Sports radio lineup, we say
Speaker 1: good morning to you. Fritzie's here, mclovin left early to
Speaker 1: go pick up his kids, Seaton's here, and Pauli is
Speaker 1: as well, and yours truly. Poll question for the second hour,
Speaker 1: We're gonna check in with Tom Kerran, NBC Sports Boston
Speaker 1: on free agency, the legal tampering Tom Brady that starts
Speaker 1: on Monday. There was a report that maybe we would
Speaker 1: have free agency pushed back a little bit. You also
Speaker 1: have the collective bargaining agreement that boats have to be
Speaker 1: in on Saturday night. Are they going to pass this?
Speaker 1: Should they pass this? Considering the economic climate right now?
Speaker 1: So let's talk to Tom Kern about that. Here's the
Speaker 1: poll question. Next week, tom Brady will be staying with
Speaker 1: the Patriots, joining another team or decision made. I think
Speaker 1: there's a lot of drama, maybe not a lot, but
Speaker 1: a little bit of drama left to be played out
Speaker 1: with all of this that I still believe that there
Speaker 1: aren't eight teams interested in Tom Brady. Now, you might
Speaker 1: have interest in Tom, but are you interested in signing
Speaker 1: Tom Brady to a two year deal for fifty million
Speaker 1: or sixty million dollars. I still think this comes back
Speaker 1: to you get together. The Patriots just want to know
Speaker 1: what Tom wants because he wanted to be a free agent.
Speaker 1: Get that opportunity to be a free agent. Then they
Speaker 1: want they assume he's coming back. Then to tell them
Speaker 1: this is what I want because you want some leverage here,
Speaker 1: you get another team. If Tampa is going to go
Speaker 1: all in on him, what are they going to offer you? Tom?
Speaker 1: Then come back to us because they don't want to
Speaker 1: bid against themselves. You wanted to be a free agent,
Speaker 1: Go be a free agent. Let's see who's interested in you.
Speaker 1: Have we had any quote from the San Francisco forty
Speaker 1: nine ers yet with Kyle Shanahan. Unless Kyle Shanahan says,
Speaker 1: you know that, I'm not gonna dignify that topic. I
Speaker 1: we have our court like if he said that, then
Speaker 1: I go, Okay, Jimmy Garoppolo is your quarterback unless he
Speaker 1: feels like you're saying there's a chance, and maybe that's
Speaker 1: why he's not saying anything. But if I'm Garoppolo, at
Speaker 1: some point, don't you just saying coach, he going to
Speaker 1: back me up in the media. And the odd part
Speaker 1: of all this is Don Yee is Garoppolo's agent and
Speaker 1: Brady's agent. Imagine those conversations because your agent, how honest
Speaker 1: is he with you about another client who you might
Speaker 1: be competing for to keep your job? And I think
Speaker 1: with free agency with Brady it gets a little dicey. Yeah, Paula,
Speaker 1: can you imagine being the agent for Brady and Garoppolo?
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's got a lot of years left, Brady is not.
Speaker 1: But if you're a Don ye the agent for Brady,
Speaker 1: are you as agent in the next portion of his career?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be with him post football? Because that
Speaker 1: would depend on what my priority to be who I
Speaker 1: take care of gropfloor Brady. Tom Curran just sent this note.
Speaker 1: Are the Patriots even just a quarterback away from another
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Regardless of whether Brady stays or goes. So
Speaker 1: we'll talk to Tom Curran coming up a little bit
Speaker 1: later on. But he's right. You know, I wonder are
Speaker 1: they going to get a couple of weapons here? The
Speaker 1: offensive line will be better this upcoming season? What are
Speaker 1: you going to do on defense? You've got some free
Speaker 1: agents that you could be losing here, and the Patriots
Speaker 1: may look at this and say, we're not ready to
Speaker 1: win a championship. We're not close, and maybe that's why
Speaker 1: we don't want to spend that money on Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: I still feel he ends up with the Patriots. Still
Speaker 1: feel that he ends up back there. But that's our
Speaker 1: poll question here for this second hour. Phone calls are
Speaker 1: always welcome. H seven seven three DP show email address
Speaker 1: DP Atdanpatrick dot com. Adam Silver, the NBA commissioner, talking
Speaker 1: about how long the NBA will be out this hiatus
Speaker 1: will be most likely at least thirty days, I mean,
Speaker 1: and we don't know enough, as you've all said, to
Speaker 1: be more specific than that, but we wanted to give
Speaker 1: direction to our players and teams and to our fans
Speaker 1: that this is going to be roughly at least a month.
Speaker 1: That's a courtesy of inside the NBA. Mark Cuban, the
Speaker 1: Mavericks owner, on what's going to happen the next four games.
Speaker 1: We talked again this morning with our folks at the
Speaker 1: AC and getting the numbers well for the next four
Speaker 1: MAVs games. We have a program where the next four
Speaker 1: would have been mass games. We'll pay our employees as
Speaker 1: if our hourly employees as if they worked. And then
Speaker 1: we also have to deal with the downstream effects of
Speaker 1: smaller businesses that don't have the balance sheets maybe to
Speaker 1: survive this, because you know, these are our customers, are
Speaker 1: fans of people who buy tickets, and we want to
Speaker 1: be good citizens in the community, so we have to
Speaker 1: be aware of what might happen. I saw where Kevin
Speaker 1: Love donated one hundred thousand dollars to the workers of
Speaker 1: the Quick and Loans Arena as well during this trouble,
Speaker 1: you know, hardship troubled times, NCAA canceling the men's and
Speaker 1: women's tournaments, also spring sports as well. XFL ends its season.
Speaker 1: Baseball has ended spring training and delayed the season opener. There.
Speaker 1: Now you got to figure out where can you play games,
Speaker 1: When can you play games? How long does the season
Speaker 1: is it extended? Do you have maybe a trunc aided
Speaker 1: season with Major League Baseball. You've got PGA Tour. They
Speaker 1: had one round of the Players Championship in Pontevedra. Now
Speaker 1: they're saying the tournament is canceled. The next three events
Speaker 1: I believe are going to be postponed, and then you're
Speaker 1: going to have the Masters, and the Masters is its
Speaker 1: own governing body, so we're in no man's land. It's
Speaker 1: a new territory. Yes, Tom, I'm seeing tweets and also
Speaker 1: on one of our screens that this year's Master's tournament
Speaker 1: has been postponed. No further details about when that would
Speaker 1: be all right? Who reports tweeted it? And I'm looking
Speaker 1: at at one of you a broadcast above saying that
Speaker 1: next month's Masters has been postponed. Okay, and that's early,
Speaker 1: you know, first week in August or April, yeampon the
Speaker 1: Master's official social media page, tweeted out from their chairman
Speaker 1: Ridley quote, considering the latest information, expert analysis, we have
Speaker 1: decided this time to postpone the Master's National Finals postpone,
Speaker 1: not canceled, a postpone, okay, respect yet they have no
Speaker 1: other details. But then you get into other tournaments there
Speaker 1: and you try to find a hole in the schedule.
Speaker 1: Could you still have the Masters at some point this year?
Speaker 1: That's what I'd be curious about. Can you ask the
Speaker 1: PGA Tour maybe if they know that, you know, Augusta
Speaker 1: is probably not going to respond to us, but if
Speaker 1: you could reach out and just say, or is there
Speaker 1: a golf writer you can reach out to and just say,
Speaker 1: is there could what could plan be present for the
Speaker 1: masters to still have a yeampoon? As part of their
Speaker 1: Master's statement on their website said we hope this postpone
Speaker 1: and puts us in the best position to safely host
Speaker 1: the Master's tournament and our amateur offense at some later date. Okay,
Speaker 1: so again postpone not canceled. Okay, yeah, it's it's happening
Speaker 1: in real time, and I don't we obviously don't have
Speaker 1: all the answers, but being able to shut down these
Speaker 1: leagues I think is the smart thing to do right now.
Speaker 1: And I've been accused of overreacting, and maybe I've overreacted
Speaker 1: to this. I said the Nauba tournament should have been
Speaker 1: shut down. I'd rather be accused of overreacting than underreacted,
Speaker 1: given what's at stake here. And I want to reiterate this.
Speaker 1: This was from somebody, a friend of mine who works
Speaker 1: in the emergency room at a Houston area hospital. Please
Speaker 1: let people know, Yes, younger people, if they get the virus,
Speaker 1: it's it's not going to kill them. You know, this
Speaker 1: is older people, if they get it, then obviously more susceptible.
Speaker 1: But let's not make it seem like your grandparents are
Speaker 1: you know, you know we dispend where you just go, oh,
Speaker 1: older people get it. Well, imagine if it's in your
Speaker 1: world and it's your parents, are grandparents who are going
Speaker 1: to get this? That's the way you have to view this.
Speaker 1: But the person in the emergency room in Houston said,
Speaker 1: this is about staffing. This is about supplies. It's about
Speaker 1: having hospital beds, because if you do have this influx
Speaker 1: of people with the coronavirus who need to be hospitalized,
Speaker 1: it could be taking up beds that if you went
Speaker 1: in for surgery you might not have. So the staffing
Speaker 1: is really important in this. And she wanted me to
Speaker 1: just tell your audience this is what we're dealing with.
Speaker 1: It's going to be taxing on all of the hospitals,
Speaker 1: and it's going to get worse before it gets better.
Speaker 1: And probably the next thirty to sixty days you're going
Speaker 1: to you're going to see the numbers spiking. Here. That's
Speaker 1: from somebody who works in the emergency room. They haven't
Speaker 1: had a coronavirus situation yet, but she said, we are
Speaker 1: preparing for that. But even then, how many are you
Speaker 1: preparing for? Couple of phone calls here and coming up
Speaker 1: John Iran from the Sports Business Journal on just the
Speaker 1: financial impact of all of this with what's happening with leagues.
Speaker 1: You know, is there a league that is really vulnerable
Speaker 1: now because there won't be any sports? The Premiership is
Speaker 1: suspending play, National Hockey League is suspending play, NASCAR is
Speaker 1: still running without fans coming up this weekend. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: one I was most curious about it is the XFL.
Speaker 1: For a minute yesterday I was wondering if the XFL
Speaker 1: would somehow try to keep playing to take advantage of
Speaker 1: this gap in the sports schedule. I know they can't,
Speaker 1: but the XFL, which seems tenuous at best losing any
Speaker 1: traction they have, seems the most dangerous. Well, as much
Speaker 1: as you would want to because there's a hole in
Speaker 1: the schedule. There's a reason why there's a hole in
Speaker 1: the schedule, and that is you shouldn't be playing any
Speaker 1: sporting events where there's a large gathering. And the XFL,
Speaker 1: even if you play it, there's no fans there. You know,
Speaker 1: it's still a physical sport and you can't do it.
Speaker 1: And a lot of this is the optics, you know,
Speaker 1: I felt like golf, it was the optics. If you
Speaker 1: don't have fans at the Players Championship today, Okay, it's
Speaker 1: just your golfer with your caddy and that golfer with
Speaker 1: the other caddy. There's no contact here. You don't have
Speaker 1: to even give a fist pump they're bumped there. You
Speaker 1: don't have to give anything. But the optics of that.
Speaker 1: I think that's where you have to say, no, it's
Speaker 1: best if we shut this down. Let's let's be in
Speaker 1: compliance with everybody else here. Andrew and Oregon joins us. Hey, Andrew,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Me Me? Your day brings
Speaker 1: emans five to eleven and a solid three thirty. So
Speaker 1: just wanted to touch a little bit on them, the
Speaker 1: seniors possibly getting extensions on their careers at college and
Speaker 1: the NCAA. Do you think that they would have an
Speaker 1: issue later on with former student athletes that were not
Speaker 1: granted extensions? What do you mean so there they've been
Speaker 1: seniors in the past that we're looking for hardships fifth
Speaker 1: year seniorships. No, no, no, this is this would be
Speaker 1: a one time only. Andrew, Thanks for the phone call.
Speaker 1: That this is this is an exception. Now you can
Speaker 1: call it an act of God exception here for these
Speaker 1: senior athletes. To me, I'm not in favor of it.
Speaker 1: I certainly understand those athletes in the spring sports who
Speaker 1: didn't even get a season, But I just think if
Speaker 1: you're bringing back, you know, four seniors and now you
Speaker 1: have seventeen basketball players, if you want to come back
Speaker 1: and play and you pay for yourself, then I'd be
Speaker 1: in favor of that. But you know, I feel bad
Speaker 1: for the spring athletes because they didn't even get a season.
Speaker 1: And if you're a senior and let's say you're on
Speaker 1: a team that could compete for a national championship, you know,
Speaker 1: that's really difficult to take because there's no recourse. Right now,
Speaker 1: Dan and North Carolina joins us. Hey Dan, what do
Speaker 1: you have for me? Hey? Dan? Thanks? Dan? Wait? Would
Speaker 1: we have him? Hey Dan? Now we just hung up
Speaker 1: on Adam and Oregon? Hey maam, Hey Bud six foot two, fourteen.
Speaker 1: So my question that I had was do I actually
Speaker 1: win the dam At for the Day and the DP
Speaker 1: Challenge because I didn't fill out a bracket at all,
Speaker 1: so technically I was the most ray Well, there are
Speaker 1: quite a few people that that didn't. There's a tie
Speaker 1: for first Adam with a couple of thousand people, and
Speaker 1: it'd be really hard to bring a couple of thousand
Speaker 1: people into the Mank. But we will have this contest.
Speaker 1: We couldn't do it with the bracket challenge, and I
Speaker 1: feel bad about that, but well, we'll figure out something
Speaker 1: where we have a danet for the day. It just
Speaker 1: we weren't able to do it. Yeah. See, we had
Speaker 1: a lot of people do a lot of work in
Speaker 1: a very little amount of time, and then the tournaments canceled. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's very unfortunate. Yeah, Todd did a great job in corrawling,
Speaker 1: I think him, but the other people that did work. Yeah, Now,
Speaker 1: well we'll try to come up with something. But you know,
Speaker 1: we just couldn't. We couldn't do it. Obviously. Yes, there
Speaker 1: is some irony to this because not me so much,
Speaker 1: but Todd and Seaton and mclovin have been handling the
Speaker 1: bracket contest for years and for years and years. It's
Speaker 1: always come together at the last minute. We barely get
Speaker 1: it together. We kind of get together. This year, we
Speaker 1: were more organized than ever. We really had it together,
Speaker 1: and it gets carefuled so frustrating. Sorry, Seton. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a bummer because we could take it. For years we've
Speaker 1: been told that we couldn't do what we were going
Speaker 1: to do this year, and we and we were able
Speaker 1: to figure it out and we got partners that could
Speaker 1: take care of it. So it is a little bit
Speaker 1: of a bummer. But the good news is that next
Speaker 1: year is going to be even better. Yea even better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I like that. You know, I had to. I
Speaker 1: had the authority to say we can have somebody who
Speaker 1: wins be a Danet for a day. I didn't have
Speaker 1: to go through management. I didn't have to go through anybody.
Speaker 1: And I thought it was a great grand prize. You
Speaker 1: get to be a Danet for a day. But we
Speaker 1: will have a contest where somebody is a Danet for
Speaker 1: a day. Then they can sit in the back row
Speaker 1: with Fritzie and Fritzie can cough all over them. But
Speaker 1: a great prize. But but they get do we give
Speaker 1: them a choice of where they get to sit? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we want row back row, We have room up here. Okay, yes, ton, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're in the mindset have stuck it back row. They're
Speaker 1: not gonna want to you part of being back here,
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to hang with Stephen Paul up the front. Yes,
Speaker 1: chat Row, just throwing that out there too. They could
Speaker 1: be the moderator or something. Oh, they could take Tyler's job. Yeah, yeah, moderator. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Tyler is the Tyler the moderator. So it's not Tyler
Speaker 1: the creator, it's Tyler the moderator. Yeah. He runs around
Speaker 1: with a computer screen and very serious. Oh, it's it's
Speaker 1: so funny. Well, look, we have guys who are doing
Speaker 1: a couple of jobs here. You know, you may do
Speaker 1: a job in the morning and may do a job
Speaker 1: in the afternoon. But Tyler the moderator is doing a
Speaker 1: great job there monitoring chat Row. Yes, for we give
Speaker 1: him a lot of grief, but he is so intensely
Speaker 1: wanting to please. You have to respect it. Appreciate that
Speaker 1: he's always looking to see how he can make everybody
Speaker 1: get more comfortable and get everything done. Thank you too, Welcome.
Speaker 1: That's what you are. You're a pleaser as well. I
Speaker 1: get it. I appreciate people like that. He's always looking
Speaker 1: for what could I do to help everybody out. I'm
Speaker 1: not really a team player, so I can appreciate what
Speaker 1: Tyler does. He's always looking to see if you're never
Speaker 1: looking to see what you could do to help other
Speaker 1: people in my own little world coughing, And that's the way.
Speaker 1: Never just not so far. Think eventually find how many
Speaker 1: how many years has it been? It's been a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my own little my own little bubble during my thing. Man,
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you guys. Occasionally you'll ask the cameraman's
Speaker 1: name and remember it, you know, just small. That's all
Speaker 1: about me, very small. That that is true. You're you're
Speaker 1: a selfish giver, not good like it's not a good quality. Yeah,
Speaker 1: minimum kindness, that's what it is. That's you, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 1: Minimum kindness. What was the fake tweet that came out
Speaker 1: Satan by the way, we heard from the Salem Red
Speaker 1: Sox they have Nickelback Night and they set me vinyl.
Speaker 1: I got an album of Nickelback and yeah, yeah, Greatest Hits,
Speaker 1: one of the earlier collections. I think it's called Greatest
Speaker 1: Hit and it too one that's pretty good CD. Oh no,
Speaker 1: you open the door and you know who's ready at
Speaker 1: the Okay, how about a nickel Back off? Oh man, Okay,
Speaker 1: you criticize Springsteen. You can't understand him, and I can't
Speaker 1: very close. If I had Springsteen on, would you sing
Speaker 1: for Springs? Absolutely? Springsteen doesn't strike me as having a
Speaker 1: sense to humor. What was the fake tweet on Nickelback?
Speaker 1: There's like an onion type news article going around right
Speaker 1: now that says unaware of coronavirus, Nickelback continues tour, playing
Speaker 1: the empty stadium soon. Wow, So that is It's awesome,
Speaker 1: but it's me like they're playing games to no fans,
Speaker 1: but Nicolback is still touring. The shell must go on
Speaker 1: doing encourse. Thank you, Cleveland, Cleveland, Cleveland, good night, good night.
Speaker 1: Good We'll take a break here. We'll talk to John
Speaker 1: Rand of the Sports Business Journal, the business side of
Speaker 1: what's happened here with all these postponements here and the
Speaker 1: league that can ill afford taking a couple of weeks off. Yes,
Speaker 1: like that. One of the guys are Nickelback? Woke up
Speaker 1: this morning and saw I was like, what the hell?
Speaker 1: What did we do? What did we do that was
Speaker 1: so wrong? Nickelback's not bothering anybody, aren't they? Hey, let
Speaker 1: me see what's the latest update on coronavirus? Let me
Speaker 1: check Twitter quick. If we get one week off, they
Speaker 1: think maybe this week we'll get off being poked. Just
Speaker 1: a one week off and they can't even get one
Speaker 1: week off through the coronavirus. Imagine Dragons is holding their breath,
Speaker 1: but one of them is like, yeah, well my bank
Speaker 1: accounts not empty. Yeah yeah. Do you think imagine Dragons
Speaker 1: is the next nickel Back? Oh yeah, that's I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a hot take anymore. They're
Speaker 1: playing outside right now by the row. Yeah, like they're
Speaker 1: playing always everywhere. Another one. Let me take a break there.

Speaker 1: that has two stars or two superstars in this case
Speaker 1: of Lebron and ad Cake sometimes Camper as other out,
Speaker 1: but I think they're both good candidates. Crand Peas. I
Speaker 1: really like the way that this team just feels to
Speaker 1: be around the it's a it's a very clear message.
Speaker 1: It's two stars and Lebron and ad and it's everybody
Speaker 1: else that's on board the relationship that is developing between
Speaker 1: those two opera court and on the court. They're cohesivemen
Speaker 1: on the court. I think in this cases of a
Speaker 1: special case that the two of them will enhance each
Speaker 1: other as opposed to be taking away from each other.

Speaker 1: and Detroit Georges, Hey, Jeff, what do you have for
Speaker 1: me today? Old Dan sitting here, was thinking a couple
Speaker 1: of statements. First of all, to the first responsis I
Speaker 1: like to tell them thank you and that I'm planning
Speaker 1: for you because we know that they're the first one
Speaker 1: of the first line of defense. With this only being
Speaker 1: a third month and the year it's been brutal, the
Speaker 1: death of Kobe's daughter, death of Kobe and the other
Speaker 1: people that lost you know, lives were lost on the plane.
Speaker 1: Now we're faced with a global pandemic. Human population is
Speaker 1: being effected. And the one thing that I'm coming to
Speaker 1: understand and sees that we as the people have to
Speaker 1: get back to just light out, loving and coming together
Speaker 1: because it seems like we were separated and now seems
Speaker 1: like with this we definitely got to work together. The
Speaker 1: thing about this coronavirus is it has no nothing, It
Speaker 1: has nothing to attached. It doesn't no money, if that's
Speaker 1: no color, it doesn't no race. Somebody's going to need
Speaker 1: your help. The question is are you going to help?
Speaker 1: Because I know us was You know, my mom is
Speaker 1: eighty five years of day. I don't even want her
Speaker 1: to go out the house. But I'm very very happy
Speaker 1: that it's people like you, Richiding and others that are
Speaker 1: on the area keeping us calm and letting us know
Speaker 1: what's going on. It's the same that Mark Cuban sounds
Speaker 1: more presidential than my providence. But hey, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go down that road. One thing that
Speaker 1: I say, reach out to your loved ones. Reach out
Speaker 1: to those that you might not have talked to in
Speaker 1: a little wall. Just see if they need something. You
Speaker 1: know them not Thank you, joh I appreciate it. It's
Speaker 1: always great to hear from you, John Arens, Sports Business Journal,
Speaker 1: a sports business journal reporter, and it's been there with
Speaker 1: the sports business since two thousand and six. And John,
Speaker 1: I wanted to have you on because you know, we're
Speaker 1: an unchartered territory here with these leagues hitting the pause
Speaker 1: button here. But you know, when you start to look
Speaker 1: at this, the trickle down with you know, people who
Speaker 1: work at the stadiums and jerseys and you know, concessions,
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much of an impact that how
Speaker 1: do you quantify the impact that this is going to
Speaker 1: have on the sports world? Gosh, that's an impossible question
Speaker 1: to answer, because the trickle down even goes as far
Speaker 1: as let's say they start let's say the NBA starts
Speaker 1: up the playoffs after thirty days, which is you know,
Speaker 1: a possibility. How many people are going to go and
Speaker 1: sit and sit in the stands there and so all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you have attendance problems were on the
Speaker 1: doorstep of a recession right now. How many advertisers are
Speaker 1: still going to be paying these top dollars to get
Speaker 1: sort of get their messages messaging out across that you
Speaker 1: have you know, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars
Speaker 1: worth of right sees in NCAA tournament which is just
Speaker 1: not being played now, Like, how is that going to
Speaker 1: become a whole now? With CPS and Turner which just
Speaker 1: told me they sold a record number, record high revenue
Speaker 1: against that tournament field, this DAN has been for me
Speaker 1: one of the most um well, just a wild week
Speaker 1: for anybody, but in particular in terms of reporting on
Speaker 1: the sports business. I got to talk to top people
Speaker 1: at all the networks, all the leagues, all the all
Speaker 1: the teams. Nobody knows anything. Nobody knows what's going on,
Speaker 1: Nobody knows what it's going to look like a week
Speaker 1: from now, two weeks from now, or a month from now,
Speaker 1: and everybody's just sort of like it's just like it's
Speaker 1: not even a holding pattern. Things seem just so quickly
Speaker 1: and they're they're just trying to react more than than
Speaker 1: plan out. And you also have the NCAA tournament of
Speaker 1: course that was canceled, but I was wondering the amount
Speaker 1: of money that's made there, what happens with that money
Speaker 1: or who is going to pay the price of not
Speaker 1: having that money come from March madness with schools UM
Speaker 1: in terms of right now, the networks, as you know,
Speaker 1: UM pay the NC double A. Uh, and so that
Speaker 1: those two are going to have to get together and
Speaker 1: figure out because the NBA A promise a tournament, there's
Speaker 1: not going to be a tournament, So CBS and Turner
Speaker 1: are going to need to get that money back. Uh.
Speaker 1: It's almost certain that there's not going to be a
Speaker 1: rebate to where they're going to a. The NC double
Speaker 1: A is going to cut a check to them, but
Speaker 1: they're going to have to sort of make good elsewhere,
Speaker 1: maybe increase the deal going forward. And what's going to
Speaker 1: end up happening there is that you know, the schools
Speaker 1: aren't going to get as much money because it's it's
Speaker 1: going to it's just going to be a trickle down
Speaker 1: effect down to what you were talking about. Think about
Speaker 1: think about like the person that created the magazine souvenir
Speaker 1: magazines that everybody buys at the at the state. I
Speaker 1: mean those magazines were all produced, right, I would imagine
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you know something a business
Speaker 1: like that is you know, really out significantly on this.
Speaker 1: The XFL had to shut down. It feels like Vince
Speaker 1: McMahon was maybe looking at this at least as a
Speaker 1: three year project. UM. I don't have numbers on that,
Speaker 1: but but it feels like there was a three year
Speaker 1: process here of he was he had money that he
Speaker 1: was going to lose and knew what he was going
Speaker 1: to lose. But what kind of impact will this have
Speaker 1: on the xflum Yeah, I think I'm going to answer
Speaker 1: every question of yours. What nobody knows, and I apologize that,
Speaker 1: but nobody knows. But one thing. One thing is that
Speaker 1: everybody said that the XFL was prepared to go to
Speaker 1: year two. They were going to be financed three year two.
Speaker 1: They have sort of media deals in place that that
Speaker 1: that go multiple years, They had sponsorship deals in place
Speaker 1: ago multiple years, and so the likelihood is that they
Speaker 1: will kick off a second year. The question is everybody
Speaker 1: saw what happened with their four one case, everybody saw it,
Speaker 1: sees what's happening with the stock market. So that money
Speaker 1: that was around to funds a year or two, how
Speaker 1: is that affected? And that's sort of We're going through
Speaker 1: my story list, coming up of stories that I need
Speaker 1: to research, and that's that's going to be one of them.
Speaker 1: The masters has been postponed this year. They obviously can
Speaker 1: take this financial hit. But what about CBS with that?
Speaker 1: You know, CBS losing out on the Masters and you
Speaker 1: know now they've lost out on March Madness as well.
Speaker 1: They have is their insurance here? Is there like what
Speaker 1: kind of you know, active god insurance here? Uh, there
Speaker 1: certainly will be some insurance here. But the networks and
Speaker 1: are gonna are gonna have to get together with the
Speaker 1: leagues or the conferences or then ze double A and
Speaker 1: just try to think because the works could um demand
Speaker 1: their money back, right. But at the same time, the
Speaker 1: networks are have deals with cable systems, and the cable
Speaker 1: system that the PNT deal with their cable system is
Speaker 1: all predicated on showing the NCAA tournament. So there's a
Speaker 1: whole different um. There's a whole line of business dealings
Speaker 1: that are sort of an upheaval now. And the one
Speaker 1: thing that I heard this week and is that everybody
Speaker 1: kind of wants to work together. So it's not going
Speaker 1: to it's not going to blow up to where you know,
Speaker 1: I'm going to have a good front page story of
Speaker 1: a he said, she said, But that's right now. I mean,
Speaker 1: what happens in a month when they really start to
Speaker 1: feel the pinch. So that that that's another sort of
Speaker 1: area that I'm going to be looking at as well.
Speaker 1: What league is most vulnerable financially right now? Um? The
Speaker 1: newer ones? Uh that like the XFL that you mentioned. Um,
Speaker 1: I would never call the NFL vulnerable. Then the NFL
Speaker 1: is so powerful. But one thing you have to look
Speaker 1: at is that they were right on the cusp of
Speaker 1: starting a media rights negotiation that was going to bring in,
Speaker 1: you know, sixty to seventy percent more in revenue from
Speaker 1: from the networks. The network's are not a charity case.
Speaker 1: You know, the networks all their stocks fall as well,
Speaker 1: and they're looking at a prospect of less advertising now,
Speaker 1: like how much does that affect the NFL moving forward? Again,
Speaker 1: no real answers, but these are a lot of the
Speaker 1: questions that people are having. But you're also looking at
Speaker 1: this NFL situation with the timing of this if and
Speaker 1: I was told by somebody with the players Association that
Speaker 1: the owners felt like a recession was coming before the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: The timing of trying to get a TV deal done.
Speaker 1: How important is that to the NFL? Is it? Do
Speaker 1: it now or do you try to ride this out.
Speaker 1: I think that one of the things that they were
Speaker 1: trying to do, because the TV deal isn't up for
Speaker 1: a couple of years, they were really trying to beat
Speaker 1: any kind of recession that that was coming. I mean
Speaker 1: there was they were going whole hog to get this done,
Speaker 1: and it looked like things would be sort of in
Speaker 1: place if not signed, by the fall. And now you
Speaker 1: know it, I haven't, I don't know anything, but my
Speaker 1: speculation is that this this could then be pushed back
Speaker 1: on another year or so just to let everybody get
Speaker 1: their foot get their footing again. And now I look
Speaker 1: at the NBA with at least a month off, and
Speaker 1: then you look at the fallout from what happened with
Speaker 1: Daryl Morey's comments about China. It's been a constantly year
Speaker 1: for the NBA. Yeah, and what if they don't play,
Speaker 1: they don't have playoffs because you know right now, a
Speaker 1: lot of these deals that the leagues have with the
Speaker 1: networks DAN are predicated on a number of games or
Speaker 1: a number of hours that have been shown, and almost
Speaker 1: certainly I don't know that the NKL and the NBA
Speaker 1: through the regular season have met that number of hours.
Speaker 1: So they're they're okay right now in terms of their contract,
Speaker 1: there's in triggering clauses. But the playoffs are coming. If
Speaker 1: they don't play the playoffs, that that is a huge thing.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's something that they're going to try to
Speaker 1: stay away from. But if you saw Adam Silver's comments
Speaker 1: yesterday on TNT, like he said, thirty days or more
Speaker 1: or less likely nobody. Everybody's waiting to see what everything's
Speaker 1: going to look like in thirty days. So the idea
Speaker 1: that it's going to be a rigid thirty days, it
Speaker 1: is fanciful right now. John, great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: You have a great weekend. Safe weekend, and thanks for
Speaker 1: joining us. I wish I could be more optimistic than
Speaker 1: I apologize for that. Yeah, it's not your fault, Thank you, John.
Speaker 1: John ran to the Sports Business Journal and look, I
Speaker 1: echo you know his responses. We don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody wants to try to handicap this and have a
Speaker 1: crystal ball and we just don't know. I was told
Speaker 1: last night by a government government official that the next
Speaker 1: sixty days, next sixty days, that things are you know,
Speaker 1: gonna be tough, very difficult, and it gets worse people
Speaker 1: or it gets better. What that means. Yeah, somebody with
Speaker 1: the CIA said, you know this is going They're preparing
Speaker 1: for a very difficult time in the next sixty days.
Speaker 1: This is in the New York area. How that spreads
Speaker 1: out the rest of the country, even the rest of
Speaker 1: the world, Not quite sure. We just don't know. Uncharted territory.
Speaker 1: Phone calls coming up, Nick, and Illinois. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: Tom Kurrn, who covers the Patriots with the Tom Brady
Speaker 1: situation here. Hey, we can actually talk about Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: And you know, don't feel like, you know, we're trolling here.
Speaker 1: There's actual things to talk about. Free agency Monday or
Speaker 1: it's sud legal tampering Monday, coming up with Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Tom Curran. Hey, Nick, what do
Speaker 1: you have for me today? Hey Dan, good morning, Good
Speaker 1: morning sixty Thank you. Hey. I'm a current senior in
Speaker 1: high school, sorry, in college Division one athlete in Illinois here,
Speaker 1: and yesterday our school got shut down announced kind of
Speaker 1: the plans to go online, and everything's a hectic day.
Speaker 1: I still had practice, but took a nap in the
Speaker 1: afternoon to get away from everything, and woke up feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit better, and and then I woke up
Speaker 1: to about twenty twenty five text messages with the news
Speaker 1: that DNC had canceled all the spring championships. Then my
Speaker 1: career was effectively over. So it's kind of surreal to
Speaker 1: go through that, and we're getting through it like everybody else's.
Speaker 1: But yeah, just kind of my story, my side of things.
Speaker 1: What if you had an opportunity to come back, and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what sport do you want to tell me?
Speaker 1: What sport did you play? Yeah? Yeah, I'm a cross
Speaker 1: country and track. Okay, if you could come back for
Speaker 1: your senior season one more year of eligibility, would you
Speaker 1: sign up to do that? If you didn't get any
Speaker 1: scholarship money? Personally, well, we've actually had this discussion on
Speaker 1: the team on runs and stuff. Personally, I would not
Speaker 1: because I've been accepted to medical school, so I'm moving
Speaker 1: kind of moving on next year with that. But I
Speaker 1: do have teammates who have said that they would if
Speaker 1: they got the waiver come back. And we've talked with
Speaker 1: our coach and he's kind of said he doesn't really
Speaker 1: know what's going to happen, you know, he, Uh, this
Speaker 1: is unprecedented, and the NCAA may give waivers to all
Speaker 1: the seniors because we don't have nobody will have an
Speaker 1: outdoor track season at this point. Yeah, well, good luck
Speaker 1: with the bigger picture and that's going to med school.
Speaker 1: And congratulations on that. Nick, Thanks for joining us and
Speaker 1: sharing your story. Thanks Dan yep y See, he's kind
Speaker 1: of in the same place that Vince Carter is in
Speaker 1: where he knew his career was over. You know, Vince
Speaker 1: Carter was knew he was retiring at the end of
Speaker 1: the year. He just didn't think it was today. You
Speaker 1: know that, oh, this is the last game that I'm
Speaker 1: going to play. He thought that he had more time,
Speaker 1: just like that kid knew that his track career was
Speaker 1: basically over at the into the season. He just thought
Speaker 1: he had more time. That's gotta it's gotta be tough
Speaker 1: to have that snatched away and you get to go
Speaker 1: to medical school. That's a nice consolation prize, and Vince
Speaker 1: Carter goes to the Hall of Fame. Yes, I would
Speaker 1: say this kid and I had a lot in common
Speaker 1: when he said he took a nap yesterday, but he
Speaker 1: said he runs across country and he's going to medical school.
Speaker 1: Other than that he and I are like twins. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: separated at birth. All Right, we'll take a break. Get
Speaker 1: an update on twamy hashtag Tommy with Tom Kern. Who's
Speaker 1: gonna tell us about Tom Brady? Busy week for Tom

Speaker 1: You know I love talking about Tom Brady's future. Can't
Speaker 1: wait always. Tom Curran gets to do this for a living.
Speaker 1: He's the Patriots insider for NBC Sports Boston. Who designate
Speaker 1: you as an insider? I always wondered, then just somebody
Speaker 1: that's self declaration. I don't know if you can say
Speaker 1: I'm a sports insider. I'm a Patriots insider Tom Curran
Speaker 1: from NBC Sports Boston. We'll join us. Coming up, Ryan
Speaker 1: and Florida joins us. Hey Ryan, what do you have
Speaker 1: for me? Hey? DP the first time long time six
Speaker 1: four two forty seven. Thank you then waiting for a
Speaker 1: long time. First off, I want to thank you for
Speaker 1: all that you do, especially giving us this little repriex
Speaker 1: from all this chaos that's happening. But on top of that,
Speaker 1: I am getting married tomorrow, so I wanted to hear
Speaker 1: advice from just anything you can do. I know it's
Speaker 1: a little chaotic right now. Obviously we can't plan for
Speaker 1: what happened, but just get from a much from you. Guys,
Speaker 1: have to listen. Thanks so much while you do again,
Speaker 1: all right, well, thank you, Ryan yesh Satan. I have
Speaker 1: two piece of advice for your wedding day. If you're
Speaker 1: driving yourself, make sure you get your car watch beforehand.
Speaker 1: Don't show up with a dirty car. Did that look stupid?
Speaker 1: Number two, remember to smile when you're walking back down
Speaker 1: the aisle because you get married. After you get married,
Speaker 1: make sure that you have a very big smile on
Speaker 1: your faith because that's when everybody's taking pictures and you
Speaker 1: just want to make sure that everyone captures your very
Speaker 1: happy faith. We somehow make the smooth segue to Tom Kerran,
Speaker 1: the Patriots insider friend BC Sports Boston. How's morale in Boston? Tawny,
Speaker 1: I would say, because it's cloudy with a little bit
Speaker 1: of maybe freezing rain dropping right now, and it canceled
Speaker 1: Boston Marathon. It's low. But I hope that people people
Speaker 1: gather their their senses and buck up and move forward
Speaker 1: because it's you know, suck it up for three weeks
Speaker 1: to a month and this will be a chapter in
Speaker 1: the history of the country that we made it through
Speaker 1: despite maybe a slow start. Next week, Tom Brady will
Speaker 1: be with the Patriots with another team. No decision made,
Speaker 1: no decision made. Also nothing. What happens next week with Brady, Well,
Speaker 1: I think the free agency is probably going to be
Speaker 1: held off. I just think that the NFL is going
Speaker 1: to block up the optics of it. But bottom line,
Speaker 1: he's not going to come back here, not the way
Speaker 1: things are trending right now. They had a phone call
Speaker 1: last week Belichick and Brady. It did not go well.
Speaker 1: Belichick acting as if Brady was still into contract. Dale
Speaker 1: Arnold from WI saying that part of that was based
Speaker 1: around the fact that Belichick said, we can't pay you
Speaker 1: more than last year. So when I was told it's
Speaker 1: acting as if he's still into contract. That makes sense
Speaker 1: if that's what he was told, because that's what you
Speaker 1: tell a guy who doesn't have any leverage. Well, I
Speaker 1: wonder about his leverage though, Tom, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: eight teams interested in Brady. I'm sure there are a
Speaker 1: couple of teams that are going to have to overspend
Speaker 1: for him. But if you know, Tampa appears is all
Speaker 1: in I don't know if Tennessee is, I don't know
Speaker 1: if San Francisco is. I don't know if there's a
Speaker 1: mystery team here. But if you're going to look at
Speaker 1: the odds here, you're playing favorites here, who would you pick? Well,
Speaker 1: just a side here. I don't think the level of
Speaker 1: intensity has to be the same for every team in
Speaker 1: order for there to be legitimate interest. Well, I know,
Speaker 1: but when you say, when Jeff Darlington says eight teams,
Speaker 1: you know eight teams have I'm getting for seventeen dollars? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, well, eight teams depending upon what hoops I
Speaker 1: need to throw jump through. I think that the Niners, again,
Speaker 1: with the number of people who have jumped on that
Speaker 1: since Deon Sanders mentioned then Florio mentioned it, that I
Speaker 1: mentioned it. Now, Mike Lombardi has been riding like a mule.
Speaker 1: I think he could be disabused of it really quickly
Speaker 1: if Kyle Shanahan felt that that was something he would do.
Speaker 1: So to me, the Niners are an absolute you know,
Speaker 1: that's a very narrow hoop to fire through. But I
Speaker 1: think that there's legitimate interest on the parts of five
Speaker 1: or six teams which would be chargers definitely Bucks, Definitely Raiders,
Speaker 1: perhaps to a degree, although I was told that Bruden
Speaker 1: is not going to intensely sue Brady, but if he calls,
Speaker 1: he'll listen. Um Titans, of course. And then I think
Speaker 1: the Colts are a team that people have dismissed out Wilie.
Speaker 1: But if they're gonna be kicking the tires on Philip
Speaker 1: Rivers and then not gonna look at Brady, what are
Speaker 1: we talking about? Oh? I agree, I said, I don't
Speaker 1: know why the Colts aren't in on Brady, because you've
Speaker 1: got a great offensive line, you got a great coach,
Speaker 1: great GM, You're playing half your games indoors to me
Speaker 1: that if I'm Brady, that would be the place that
Speaker 1: I would I would want to play for that team.
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't want to play in Indianapolis, but I
Speaker 1: think that's a nice little soft landing spot. I concur
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of gms and team personnel
Speaker 1: are lying right now because they do have answers in house.
Speaker 1: And there's two things there. If they don't get Brady,
Speaker 1: then they don't want to piss off the guy who
Speaker 1: was there. And if they don't get Brady, they get
Speaker 1: the safe face you know in terms of you know this,
Speaker 1: this isn't what we were going to try and do anyway.
Speaker 1: So let me hit you with this. Let me hit
Speaker 1: you with this in the final minute. What would plan
Speaker 1: be for the page? Jared's Didham, Oh, Jared's Didham will
Speaker 1: probably be given every opportunity to win the quarterback job.
Speaker 1: As far as I can tell, I don't think they're
Speaker 1: going to go out and spend fifteen million dollars on
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, carry Brady's thirteen and a half million dollars
Speaker 1: and now have twenty eight and a half million dollars
Speaker 1: worth of cap money on that position to get from
Speaker 1: Dalton basically not that much more than they can conceivably
Speaker 1: get from Stidham for eight hundred thousand dollars. I really
Speaker 1: think that they would if Brady does not resign, they
Speaker 1: would be in the market for five million dollars quarterbacks
Speaker 1: as opposed to fifteen or eighteen million dollars quarterbacks, and
Speaker 1: I think Stidham would be given every opportunity to win
Speaker 1: the job. It's great to talk to you. I'm sure
Speaker 1: we'll talk too. It's way too quick, you know, I
Speaker 1: know it was. I feel bad that that I was
Speaker 1: up against the break and then I took the phone
Speaker 1: call and the guy getting married, and you know, I
Speaker 1: took away some of your quality time with it. Smile
Speaker 1: going down the aisle, A thank you, Tommy. Tom current
Speaker 1: Patriots inside NBC Sports sponsor. He's been adamant that Brady
Speaker 1: was gone and he was willing to bet me. He
Speaker 1: was like, Hey, whatever you want to bet, I'll bet
Speaker 1: you Brady is not coming back. Here sounds pretty sure.
Speaker 1: The question is where's he going to go? And if
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham come on down, it feels like you might
Speaker 1: need a Plan C. If Plan B is Jared Stidham.
Speaker 1: Just to guess all the great scamp Scott van Pelda,
