WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Pete Thamel (04-15-20) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.680 Sports Radio. Critic he has seen The Last Dance. It's 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:13.760 not the Jordan documentary, by the way, it's being everybody 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.680 talks about it the Jordan documentary. It's about the team. 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.240 Phil Jackson came up with the title the Last Dance 0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:23.680 because this was the last dance for that team. But 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:28.560 this is being portrayed as it's the Jordan documentary. We're 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.720 going to tune in because Mike is prominently featured, and 0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:35.000 rightfully so. But it's known as the Last Dance. It's 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.120 on that last year with the Chicago Bulls. So Richard Roper, 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.880 who has seen all ten episodes, he'll join us, coming 0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:45.440 up a little bit later on. Normally, in the weeks 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.320 and days leading up to the NFL Draft, you have 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:50.559 certain quarterbacks who move up in mock drafts. Now that 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.760 doesn't mean they move up on the real team draft boards. 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.760 It's a mock draft and until that's why you're seeing 0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.040 some players move up and move down. Because now journalists 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.319 are hearing from the people who actually have to make 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.640 these decisions. This is their job, and that's why we 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.560 sometimes look at a player and go, what's wrong with him. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.240 He's dropping. Maybe he wasn't supposed to be up there 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:14.080 in the first place, but the media is catching up 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.240 with some of the opinions here. Think of Carson Wentz, 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:19.640 Mitchell Trubisky, and Baker Mayfield. Those were guys who were 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.200 lower in the mock drafts, and that was right up 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.720 until reports leaked on how high they were going to go. 0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.240 This week. There's a trend in the mock draft world. 0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.679 All of a sudden, Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert has moved 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:38.520 ahead of two a tongue of Iolo, so now we're 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.720 looking him at number five with the Miami Dolphins. I 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:44.479 told you this a couple of days ago. A source 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:49.200 said Tua could go three or twenty three because of 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:53.400 the medicals here. Maybe Herbert and Tuah are going to 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.240 be stars and they're going to be worthy of being 0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.279 drafted in the top five or top six or top seven. 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.840 Maybe toast States Jordan Love will go high. In about 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.320 a week, we're going to find out if the mock 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.320 drafts were onto something, or maybe there's an even bigger 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:11.240 quarterback surprise coming in the twenty twenty NFL Draft. I 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.520 spent some time yesterday because Lord knows. I had plenty 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.640 of time yesterday to not do anything, and I reached 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.280 out to two sources and I said, help me understand 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.119 Nick Saban's role with Tua, because there are a lot 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:29.640 of NFL people who trust Nick Saban. This is what 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.160 I got back. As important as the medical is for Tuah, 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.919 it's critical what Nick Saban tells people in the league 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:41.640 he trust, and that will be almost as critical. He's 0:02:41.680 --> 0:02:44.840 going to use the analogy of Drew Brees when he 0:02:44.960 --> 0:02:49.560 was in Miami injury concerns, Nick Saban passed on him 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.880 and signed Dante Colepepper. Tua isn't the first Alabama player 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.240 who has had medical questions going into the NFL draft. 0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.720 The source said, they practice so hard hard that after 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:05.440 three years they're beat up. That's what they're trying to 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.480 weigh here. And if you can't interview him, I can't 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:11.520 work him out. I can't have my medical staff look 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:15.200 at him and examine him. That's why Tuah is such 0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:18.160 a risk. If he's healthy, I think he's right on 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:21.239 par with Joe Burrow. I like, how we go well, 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:24.480 Tuah has two great receivers. They're going to be taken 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.480 probably in the top twenty. Did you see who Joe 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.800 Burrow was throwing too this year? See, you can't. And 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.880 then I'll get this, Hey, Jordan Love had a bad 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.960 year this year, but what about last year? And then 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.040 you'll get people saying, yeah, that was last year, the 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.360 previous season, but this season he wasn't good at all. Well, 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.320 he had a depleted offense, and the previous year he 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:48.440 had a pretty good offense. And then I'll go, well, wait, 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.720 Joe Burrow didn't have a great junior year, but we're 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.360 not going to factor that in, but we're going to 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.640 factor in what he did this past year. See. That's 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.640 where it gets into this game of semantics, and it's 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:04.320 dangerous because you can talk yourself into somebody and talk 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:09.360 yourself out of somebody. I think the real drama like that. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.280 If anybody trades, then great. But if you look at this, 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.839 Chase Young goes second, Bros. Going first? And then does 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.479 Detroit do anything? And then I reached out to a source, 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:23.920 you know, who has connections with Detroit, and I said, hey, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.360 do you think it's crazy what I'm saying? He goes, Now, 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.960 I heard what you said about if you're Detroit and 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.480 you're sold on Tua like Jeff Akuta is a defensive 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.360 back from Ohio State. Okay, he's a really good player, 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.359 But now they're starting to be a little bit of discussion. 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.279 Is he the best defensive back? I don't do I 0:04:44.320 --> 0:04:48.280 want if it's Darrell Reevas, great, but I don't know 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.279 if I'm missing on something that is going to allow 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:54.320 us to build something bigger in the future. And my 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:59.920 source said, this staff has to win this year. That's 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.320 the reason why they would stay with Stafford. Now if 0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:06.039 you said matt Patricia was just joining them like he 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.000 was Mike McCarthy going to the Cowboys, then you could go, 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:12.040 you know what, maybe this is the last year with Stafford. 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.200 We see what we have here, you know, are we 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.640 going to be a playoff team? And you draft twa 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.480 Because now I get the rookie deal, Now I can 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.920 maybe get something mat Matthew Stafford. You know, maybe I 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.240 could I could start to shape my team a little 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.160 bit better like that. I also reached out to a source, 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.719 which since you know, ties to Cincinnati, said what happens 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.279 to Andy Dalton? And he said, when they draft Burrow, 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:39.320 I think they're cutting Andy Dalton. And Andy Dalton is 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.920 going to be thrown into the mix with Cam Newton. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.960 What will happen with Dalton and Cam Newton and even 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.919 Jameis Winston is after training camp. If there is a 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.479 training camp, after training camp, somebody will sign them, but 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.800 probably not leading up to, you know, training camp. That's 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.000 probably what's going to happen. You know, you're gonna have 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.000 coaches going in and go okay, we've had the draft, 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.160 free agency, and if somebody gets injured or we don't 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.919 like what we're seeing, then you're gonna have somebody come in. 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.880 I also, I was busy yesterday. Here was another one 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:16.520 that might surprise you because I was curious about. Let 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:22.240 me see, we talked about Detroit Detroit playing hardball, squeezing teams. 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.000 This is a do or die year for the staff. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.800 Have the feeling the Chargers are gonna sit if a 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.960 quarterback drops to them, if not their coach believes in 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:38.000 Tyrod Taylor. I had one on Jalen Hurts here. Let 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.440 me see if I have this trying to keep to okay, 0:06:42.000 --> 0:06:48.640 one possibility is Jalen Hurts Carolina. Now stay with me. 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:55.560 You got Teddy for two years their quarterback coach was 0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:01.400 with him at Alabama Matt Rule, oh and two against 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.200 Jalen Hurts last year when Oklahoma played Baylor. That's his 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:11.000 head coach. Offensive quarter offensive coordinator. Joe Brady was in 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:15.920 New Orleans with Tayson Who So you might get a 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:21.640 package like quarterback with Jalen Hurts going to Carolina to 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:24.960 back up Jeddy Bridgewater. So just some of the items 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.520 that I had yesterday. I was busy. I was busy 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.400 yesterday going back and forth trying to find out and 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.560 once again, the more I know, the less I know. 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:35.920 Like I you know, I watched Justin Herbert and some 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.320 of the descriptions on Jalen Hurt Justin Herbert, are they 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.120 not a leader? He's not demonstrative, he doesn't speak up, 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:49.440 he's done like, he's unfailingly polite, And I went, gosh, 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:55.600 is he like Eli Manning unfailingly that's a negative. He 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.840 doesn't have the swag that Joe Burrow. I got that 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:04.040 one yesterday. I said, Okay, but does Justin Herbert check 0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:08.640 a lot of boxes here? Oh yeah? Now, I sometimes 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.160 you look at swag and you go, he's got too 0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:14.200 much swag, Like Joe Burrow, borders on too much swag 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:18.560 When you meet him Boom, it's right there. But when 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.080 you when you're playing well and win a national title 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:25.679 and throwing sixty touchdown passes, yeah we love that swag. Yeah, Bay, 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.720 If Justin Herbert becomes a star, he's cool, he's calm, 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.120 he's unflappable. When you're you're unflappable. When you're a good 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:36.840 quarterback who's low key, you're pulseless. When you're Jay Cutler 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.200 and you're not in you're seven to nine. Yeah, well, 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.120 you know we had that problem with you know, guys 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:46.319 who weren't demonstrative. You know, Jay Cutler doesn't care. Man, 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.000 I'm looking at he said, and there's no fire. I mean, 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.440 Philip Rivers cared as much as any quarterback. He didn't 0:08:50.480 --> 0:09:00.280 win anything. Joe Montana unflappable, right, Joe Montana, Yes, mc oven, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.960 Andy Dalton's not signing until August. What I can't handle 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.040 Cam Newton and Jameis Winston or whatever. That training camp dating. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.960 I think that's crazy. Yes, that's that's what I was 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.760 told that you're you know, this offseason is going to 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:16.280 really hurt some of these players, including these quarterbacks. But 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.800 it's going to be after training camp where one of 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.640 these guys or all of them will be signed by somebody. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.480 But I was told because I said, Andy Dalton makes 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.680 a lot of sense to still have him on the roster, 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.920 and a source said, you know, when they draft Burrow, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.480 they'll probably cut Andy Dalton. And I was like, all right, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.440 poll question, McLevin, what do you have for me? Okay, 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:40.960 you're talking about quarterbacks. If I gave you over under 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.079 a two and a half quarterbacks in the top five, 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.920 would you go over or under? So that means would 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.720 three be drafted in the top five? Would two be 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:53.520 drafted in the top five? Obviously with Burrow going number one, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:55.400 so it's a Herbert to or question. Do they are 0:09:55.400 --> 0:09:58.360 they gone by Miami? So I have to get somebody 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:04.440 to trade up, because if you trade up, why isn't 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.520 anybody trading up to ask about Chase Young? Like, I'm 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.440 just curious. It's only the quarterbacks. Got I got Chase Young? 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:14.959 Who is once in a generation. I'm told Edge Rusher, 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:19.079 I haven't heard anybody say, hey, are the Redskins open 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:24.520 for business for Chase Young? Like I got that surprises me. 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:27.040 Chase Young is considered the best player in the draft, 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:30.440 and I've not heard one scenario where somebody goes you 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.480 know that, I wouldn't be surprised if they go up 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.880 and get Chase Young. Like when we look at a 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:39.800 guy who disrupts a game, it's your quarterback and your 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.480 edge rusher. Those are the two guys. It feels like 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.559 the most important people on the field, and we're gonna 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.679 go trade up for Justin Herbert. We don't know how 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.360 good he is, but Chase Young's the best guy in 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:55.960 the draft. That guy's once in a generation. Nobody trading 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.440 up to get Chase Young. I find that interesting. What 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:03.240 else do you have? Mcleven, I would go I'll go 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.840 under on the two and a half. I'll say that 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:10.960 we have two quarterbacks top five. I saw another question 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.680 three and a half as you open under in the 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.920 top twelve, meaning does Jordan Love going to top twelve? 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.400 I don't know what. Seems like that changes day to day. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.520 I don't know what you're hearing. And it feels like 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:25.360 the Raiders are really interested in Jordan Love in mel Kuiper. Obviously, 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.200 I trust mel Kiper draft expert, but are the Raiders 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:33.880 already with Mariota and car then gonna use a first 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:39.760 round draft pick on Jordan Love. This is okay? So 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:41.840 I ask about this with the Raiders and I couldn't 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.319 get anybody who covers the Raiders are involved in the Raiders. 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:48.160 And he said, well, if you're the Raiders, would you 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:51.760 go after Jordan Love? And this scenario that was set 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:54.360 up for me is the Broncos look like they have 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.040 their quarterback, the Chiefs obviously have their quarterback, and the 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:01.199 Chargers might be drafting two or Justin Herbert. So I'm 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.800 talking about teams in that division. Are the Raiders comfortable 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.359 with Derek Carr as their quarterback to match those other quarterbacks? 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.880 And is Jordan Love going to be a Patrick Mahomes 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:18.520 type player? You know, talent wise, because not everybody was 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.800 sold on Patrick Mahomes. Let's not kid anybody. Andy Reid 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.040 saw it, pounced on it, and we know that. You know, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:27.600 the rest is history. Is Jordan Love going to be 0:12:27.640 --> 0:12:31.200 that kind of player? Because if you watched Patrick Mahomes play, 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:33.520 and yes I did because I have nothing to do 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:38.560 in my life, he was incredibly athletic, made all the throws. 0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.880 But I had no idea how it would translate to 0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.120 the NFL because it looked like he was trying to 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.400 be Brett Farve and he was just vamping out there. 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.040 It was like backyard football in the Big twelve. And 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.280 I go, I don't know if he can play in 0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:55.080 the NFL, but damn he's exciting in college football here. 0:12:55.520 --> 0:13:00.840 Jordan Love may be that guy. So once again, we 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.320 talk ourselves into a pick, and out of a pick, 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:06.480 somebody is going to pass on somebody. And that goes 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:09.120 back to what I said about TWA on Monday. The 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.160 fear of taking him and the fear of not taking him. 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.720 That's going to be a big dilemma. Yeah, I mclovin. 0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:17.239 I also saw a lot of Jordan Love to the Patriots, 0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.840 Like the Patriots, How would anyone know what the Patriots 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.000 are interested in? That's why I was wondering, that's the 0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:26.240 one team you can't predict. We don't know. We speculate, 0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:30.760 but we don't know because Bill Belichick doesn't tell anybody anything. 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.480 And why would you tell somebody unless I want to 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.840 mislead you. That's really when the information gets out. And 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.640 the only reason why I get information is, you know, 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:46.160 scouts talk, Coaches don't talk, gms don't talk. Scouts talk 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:51.680 amongst themselves. Hey, what do you think about this guy? Why? Yeah, 0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.360 you know, we're kind of leaning towards maybe we're gonna take, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.640 you know, the wide receiver out of Arizona State. And 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.719 I go, oh, right, that's how it works. They want 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:03.400 to know what you know, and you know what you know. 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.960 But it's only a cluster of these guys because they 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.640 have to trust each other. I'll share information with you. 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:11.720 We're not interested in that guy. Now, that's the interesting 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.800 part of all of this. It's the deception that still 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.959 continues and will lead up till probably a week from today, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.080 where maybe you start to get real information on what's happened. 0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.280 Do I think the Dolphins are going? Remember the Dolphins 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.880 were all in on Joe Burrow. They were tanking for Tua. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:32.880 Now I'm hearing Justin Herbert. Some of it's bs and 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:35.440 maybe all of it is. Yes. I love how the 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.600 teams try to hide if there's a thing. A few 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.360 years ago they had a documentary about the draft, or 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.240 they look back the draft where I think the Jaguars 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:45.120 take Blake boardles in the three spots. They didn't interview them, 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:46.920 they didn't call them, they didn't invite them down for 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.360 a workout. Which was really crazy to not do that 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.840 due diligence. But they're trying to hide them, they're trying 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:53.240 to hide their interest in them so they can just 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:59.840 grab them. Any other poll questions mclovin. Yeah, so Kirk 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.200 hasn't said it's refreshing not to play in front of fans, 0:15:02.280 --> 0:15:06.360 or we'll be refreshing, and you know why, so he 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:13.480 doesn't get yelled at. That's why I get refreshing. No, 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.320 so nobody yells at me or picks on me. That's 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.200 the only other What other reason would you say it's refreshing. 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.760 I was wondering if you had some poll, if you're 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:27.400 an NFL player, are you comfortable playing without fans? What 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.080 do you think they would say? They just want to play, 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.920 that's all they do. If you said you guys can 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.640 come back no fans, or you can't come back, what 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:40.960 are they gonna say they want to come back? Seaton? 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:46.240 How are you this morning? I'm great. I'm listening to 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.680 you talk about fans, though, and I just keep thinking 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.960 of Lebron, who for some reason seems to be the 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.160 one hard liner of like, I'm not playing if there's 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.120 no fans. Yeah, I think he's trying to do sort 0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:58.240 of like this populous thing like hey, I'm here for 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.000 the fans, but it's just slightly off with it. Yeah. Um, 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.240 I think he walked that back a little bit and 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.680 rightfully so, Yeah, I think he had to walk that 0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:08.360 one back a little bit. Lebron, Do you want to 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.480 play and maybe win a title or you can't play 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.360 not if there's no fans in the crowd. I'll play 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.160 you that, yes, loving But is it Kirk Cousins going 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:18.280 too far to say it's refreshing to have no fans? 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.560 Like is it somewhere in the middle between Kirk Cousins 0:16:20.560 --> 0:16:23.160 and letron a Better plays? Well, yeah, but you got 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.360 to pick a Kirk Cousins and how he plays like 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:28.880 his career, fans haven't always been on his side. Yes, 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.400 so when when he yells at you like that and 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:35.920 then it echoes in the in the stadium, you like that? 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:42.280 Like that? Like that, like that, like that, like, yes, 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.560 hey Todd, how are you today? I'm doing great? How 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:47.520 are you? Oh? I'm great. It's great to see everybody. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.200 What do you got on today? What you Maybe the 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:52.600 fans can come, not come to those primetime games and 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:54.600 just show up to the daytime games. Thank you, Todd. 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:56.960 What do you got on today? I'm wearing an old 0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.480 school Houston Astro's kind of a training camps for training, 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:03.360 you know, batting practice type of jersey. Everything you have 0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:06.240 is old school or old I'm still living in the 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:08.560 seventies and eighties. I know I was watching Rocky I 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.760 since you guys a note no response from anybody, of course, 0:17:11.000 --> 0:17:13.399 but he was fighting Mason the line. But you know 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:17.480 why I didn't respond because it's not a real fight, 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:21.440 it's a movie. No, And you're tired of all my texts? 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:25.040 No you were watching? Well, yes, I am tired of 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.639 all your texts because when you bring it up or 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.200 I bring it up then to you, then you go 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:36.920 into your impersonation. I do do that, so that I 0:17:36.960 --> 0:17:38.199 wasn't going to do that in a text. I was 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.320 gonna call you. I know you would do you want 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.880 to do that now you want to do Rockies trainer, 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.120 But you can't do it today. I can't. You can't. 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.359 I'm concerned to send you more than the two texts 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.080 and a half hour period because then you give me 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.160 a please stop and a prayer emoji. Well you, but 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:55.439 when you do play by play of something that happened 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:57.680 thirty years ago. I know, I was excited. I was 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:02.000 trying to share Rice coming to the plate. I go, 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.800 it's nineteen seventy eight. I know how this ends. I know, 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.399 but it was the Bucky Dead game, and I was 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:08.960 just saying what I was watching, and I was having 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:10.159 a moment with you. I was trying to have a 0:18:10.200 --> 0:18:12.359 moment with you. We don't need to have moments. We 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:15.439 have so many moments. We don't need any more. Eighteen 0:18:15.520 --> 0:18:18.119 years of moments. Yeah, we don't. We're good on I 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:22.280 have more moments with you than my wife probably. Yeah. Yes, 0:18:22.400 --> 0:18:24.320 Point Todd has this dark jersey on today and a 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:26.840 dark hat and dark headphones and there's a dark background 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:28.840 we had him. He looks like this big floating head 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.960 of it. It's just a floating head with the same 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:35.159 look on it for three hours. Yeah, and you don't blink. 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:38.960 I don't blink. Yeah. The chat row notices you don't 0:18:39.040 --> 0:18:41.240 play very wide eyed and yeah, it must be a 0:18:41.320 --> 0:18:44.080 printed zone. I don't know. I don't sleep. I'm just 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.720 a bit upsets, like three in the morning. Well, that's 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:47.800 great to have you though, it's good to be here. Uh, 0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.760 let me see we're gonna have Pete Famil from Yahoo's Sports. 0:18:53.520 --> 0:18:56.560 I saw we're starting to cancel some sports. Not not 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.320 postpone anything, We're canceling some of these secondary sports. These 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.840 are budget moves, These are preemptive strikes here. Also, you know, 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.000 Pete covers college football for Yahoo Sports, and I want 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:10.040 to ask him about what Chris Fowler was talking about yesterday, 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.720 and that is expanding the playoffs, because if you're looking 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:17.440 at revenue for these conferences to have the trickle down 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.439 for some of these other sports to survive, maybe you 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.440 go from four to sixteen teams. So we'll talk to Pete. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:25.760 He'll join us. Coming up Steve Kerr a little bit 0:19:25.840 --> 0:19:29.080 later on. Richard Roper, the Chicago Suntimes movie critic, will 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:32.679 join us as well as he reviews The Last Dance, 0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:36.000 the so called Jordan documentary. We'll take a break here 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:39.520 twenty two after the hour. This is The Dan Patrick Show. 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:42.040 Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Oh, he had 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:15.320 these two little kids in front of him, Like, oh wow, 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.360 Andy Dalton's already working out with the Patriots wide receivers. 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.439 And I said, that's a shot at our friend Julian 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:26.880 Edelman and Andy Dalton's your buddy. No I. Dalton looked 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.119 looked great in the video. Everyone was kind of like, whoa, 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:30.920 we got to get him in camp. Do you see 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.199 that arm? And my other joke that I didn't right 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:34.879 by the way, it's those two little kids. Actually it's 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:38.720 finally he gets a better O line than Cincinnati. WHOA, man, 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:41.000 But I didn't put that. Yeah you didn't, but you 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.880 thought it. I did think it, and Joe Burrow might 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.080 want to. I thought it was really I thought it 0:20:46.119 --> 0:20:49.760 was really funny that you get undersized white wide receivers 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:51.920 for the Patriots, and Andy had his two sons out 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.680 there that was well done. Andy dal looked pretty good, right, 0:20:55.800 --> 0:20:58.399 can we judge anything? I got a bad backyard video. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.720 He threw two passes into a net. Yeah, but he 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:06.680 hit the net somebody. But I don't know what happened 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:08.879 to the other forty passes he threw. Did he like 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:10.800 throw it in the neighbor's yard? Did he you know, 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.840 hit the mailman? Like? We don't know that he edited it. 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:21.000 I don't know. You're right, Andy Dalton wouldn't do something 0:21:21.040 --> 0:21:24.320 like that. I mentioned Jalen Hurts as a possible landing 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.280 spot being Caroline, according to a source, because of the 0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.920 connections a lot of times. That's why when Philip Rivers, 0:21:30.040 --> 0:21:32.560 when I was told at the Super Bowl, Philip Rivers 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:34.760 looked for him to go to the Colts. There was 0:21:34.800 --> 0:21:38.080 a connection with the coaching staff there. The same with 0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:41.640 Jalen Hurts in Carolina. There's a connection with the coaching 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.520 staff there. And the fact that Matt Rule coached against 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:47.720 him twice last year at Baylor and lost both time 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.560 to Jalen Hurts. And you got it. Your offensive coordinator 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:55.159 was the quarterbacks coach at Alabama and also he was 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.920 in New Orleans with Taysom Hill. Then maybe you're looking 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.000 at that possibility of that's that's your next quarterback in 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.400 waiting with Teddy Bridgewater and Carolina. All right, we'll get 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:09.400 phone calls coming up. Age seven seven three d P show. 0:22:09.440 --> 0:22:12.240
