00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 3: Role.

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 2: Who is it better than we do? No body?

9
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 4: Yep.

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 2: I figured we just do a rehearsal run and we're

11
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: gonna have Thanksgiving today with one another. So morale is high.

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,400

Speaker 2: stuff or you just want to keep it for yourself.

20
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Stat of the Day brought to you by Penine America,

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: the official trading cards of the program. First Hour brought

22
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: to you by the folks who've been helping you for

23
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 2: forty years find the right tires for how and what

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: and where you drive ship fast and free, backed by

25

Speaker 2: free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: Tire act dot Com. The way tire buying should be

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: recency bias. But guess who is the leading candidate for

28
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: MVP in the NFL. Yes, if you said Drake May,

29
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: you would be correct. Standalone game and everybody's got an

30
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 2: opinion about the Patriots and the Jets. But for the Patriots,

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: Drake made it look really easy. Now, yes, are we

32
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: going to factor in? They're playing the Jets. But the

33
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: Jets had won back to back games, and I thought

34
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: that first drive, I'm like, okay, all right, point spreads

35
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: twelve and a half, and then all of a sudden

36
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: it ended up thirteen point point spread there margin.

37
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Man.

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: I'm always watching those things just because the number of

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: times when they just nail it, when it's like, okay,

40
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: the points met is twelve and a half and they

41
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: win by thirteen. Dylan, congratulations, you had the Jets and

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: the money line, didn't you?

43
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: I did, Dan, And that first drive was, dare I say, inspiring?

44
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: And then it was very very quickly uninspiring.

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: And I'm watching Justin Fields, and it made me, it

46
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: dawned on me last night as I'm watching him of

47
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: how easy college can be for certain quarterbacks at certain programs,

48
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: like being the quarterback at Ohio State where receivers were

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: wide open. Justin Fields was a really good quarterback at

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State. Like he was athletic, he could throw the

51
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: football at an unbelievable game against Georgia. And now you

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: realize the difference between college and the pros because he's

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 2: not a starting quarterback in the NFL. If your game

54
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 2: plan is basically just spread every buddy out and let

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: him run, then he could be your quarterback. But watching

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: last night, it's just not there. Meanwhile, Drake May made

57
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 2: it look very easy if you would have had him

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: wear number twelve last night. Now, granted, he's more athletic

59
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: than Tom Brady, but if he was wearing number twelve

60
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 2: last night and you saw him in the pocket, you'd go, oh,

61
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,279
Speaker 2: they're showing old clips of Brady. Now, granted, the throwback uniforms,

62
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: I kind of like the look of them. I was

63
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 2: okay with it. Like at first I thought somebody's in trouble.

64
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: Whoever did the laundry is in trouble. Those are faded,

65
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: and then I was like, okay, it kind of had

66
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: a Civil War Union blue to it, like Yarmouth blue. Yes,

67
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: so I was I'm curious how the Patriots would react

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: as being a big favorite in a game you're supposed

69
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: to win. But for Drake May, Patriots handled the Jets

70
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 2: twenty seven to fourteen. New England's now nine and two,

71
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: and I know some nine and twos aren't the same

72
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: as other nine and twos, but they could end up

73
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: with home field advantage throughout the entire AFC playoffs. Chiefs

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: aren't going to get home field advantage. You know, still

75
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 2: can factor in. You know, Buffalo can win the division.

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: But the Patriots schedule is not that difficult second half

77
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: of the season, and the West they're beaten up on

78
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: each other. You got Denver and Kansas City coming up.

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 2: But watching the Patriots, they're in great shape. I don't

80
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 2: think the AFC is great. I think the NFC is

81
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: top heavy better. But if you're the Patriots and a

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: Patriot fan, you're like, Okay, we can make a run

83
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: at this. And I think it's probably the first time

84
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: you watched a Patriot game all the way through and

85
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: you're probably going, I don't know who some of these

86
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 2: guys are except for Stefan Diggs. And he had nine

87
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: catches for one hundred yards. So that's the thirty ninth

88
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: one hundred yard hard game in his career. The only

89
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: active player with more is DeVante Adams with forty five

90
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: stat of.

91
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 3: The Day, stat of the Day, that past stat of

92
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 3: the day, stat of the day.

93
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: Here comes that what stat of the day? Thank you,

94
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: Ron Burgundy. Stat of the Day brought to you by

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: Penini America, the official trading cards of the Dan Patrick Show.

96
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: By the way, Will Farrow is doing a golfing series

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 2: or it's a series where he's the main character, and

98
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 2: I don't know the name of it. But he got

99
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: injured and then they said they had to stop shooting.

100
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,119
Speaker 2: So I reached out to him yesterday and I said,

101
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: I turned my back one time, and look what happens.

102
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 2: You get hurt. He goes, I don't know how this

103
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: became a big story, But thoughts and prayers to Will

104
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 2: Ferrell for whatever his injury is. But he says that

105
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 2: he will start filming again soon.

106
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,239
Speaker 5: Yes, Paul, is he on the IR four weeks?

107
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I don't know if to

108
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: pick up if Hollywood has like an injury list, because

109
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes you'll see these actors they get hurt,

110
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: like somebody will break a hand or something or a

111
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 2: knee injury, and then they have to shut down for

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 2: a while.

113
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Paul, if you remember the Entourage movie, our friend

114
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 5: Kevin Connolly, when they were getting ready for the scene

115
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 5: outside they were throwing the ball around with Russell Wilson

116
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 5: and different players, he broke his leg, like, broke his leg.

117
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 5: They had to medicate him and finished the scenes because

118
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 5: they had tons of extras and so he was all

119
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 5: medicated in a few different scenes.

120
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: They had to medicate me. To watch that movie. A

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 2: lot of cameos, Yeah, yeah, too many. Trayveon Henderson had

122
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: three touchdowns and he is the Okay, how many rookie

123
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: rookies have scored three touchdowns this year? Three touchdowns in

124
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 2: a season? If you said five, you'd be correct Henderson, Quinn,

125
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: Shawn Judkins, Cam Skattaboo, Ashton Genty, and RJ. Harvey. There

126
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: were zero rookies with three touchdown games last season. The

127
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 2: last time you had five rookies with three touchdown games.

128
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: In the same season back in twenty tenow.

129
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Stand of a pick Stanta day. Stella a day, Stanta Day.

130
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: This is the stele of the day. Patriots have their quarterback.

131
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: They got a running back, Stefan Diggs is on a

132
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: team friendly deal. He's got two more years. They got

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: more cap room than anybody their set. They're set now.

134
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 2: They had to quote settle for the third pick, the

135
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: third quarterback in the draft, and they end up getting

136
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: Mike Vrabel, who somehow was made available by Tennessee. The

137
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: Jets were interested in Vrabel. Patriots swooped in and got

138
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: Mike Brabel, and just like that, the Patriots are back.

139
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: And if you look at the division, the Jets are

140
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: in a rebuild. Buffalo is kind of not as formidable

141
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: as they've been before, and the Dolphins, who knows, feels

142
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: like they're in kind of no man's land as well.

143
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: But the Patriots had won eight in a row, longest

144
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: winning streak since twenty nineteen, which happened to be Tom

145
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 2: Brady's last season in New England. All right, Rob Gronkowski

146
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,520

157
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 2: want Belichick, but they don't want his girlfriend, and they

158
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: don't want Mike Lombardi. That's his I don't know what

159
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: Mike Lombardi's official job is is he's the GM at

160
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: North Carolina. But according to Florio, at Mike Lombardi and

161
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Hudson wouldn't be part of the deal. Well, Jordan

162
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: Hudson's part of the deal because that's his girlfriend, maybe fiance.

163
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 2: Mike Lombardi, Okay, if you have to kick him to

164
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: the curb, but that's this is the one condition, according

165
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: to Florio, this is the one condition is if you

166
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 2: bring in Bell, you can't have any of the ancillary

167
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: characters here. Okay, all right, sure, yes, Todd.

168
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, the way I read it's the floors this way.

169
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: If they're even to consider the idea of Bill Belichick

170
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: coming to their next head coach, those things would those

171
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 3: people would have to not be involved.

172
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. If I'm the Giants, I don't do that. If

173
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm the Giants, find somebody that you're comfortable with, who's

174
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: comfortable with Jackson Dart as his quarterback and Cam Scataboo

175
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 2: Elik neighbors. I mean, they have some nice building blocks there.

176
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 2: But I not bringing in Bill Belichick, No, not at all.

177
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 2: All right, come up with the pole question, got a

178
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: play of the day, stat of the day, all of

179
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 2: that forthcoming. You got a busy weekend. College and Pro

180
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 2: will do the most must win game of the weekend.

181
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Who had the best week in sports? Seaton will join

182
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 2: us from the road coming up next hour, and let

183
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 2: me see anything else that Well, it is a meat Friday,

184
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: it's a Thanksgiving Friday. The calendars available, tailgates available, We're

185
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: ready to go. What poll question are you looking at?

186
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: First hour there, Dylan?

187
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: All right, we got a couple options.

188
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 6: Then this one's from PAULI.

189
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: The NFL team that's in the best shape for the next.

190
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 2: Five years, five years.

191
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: Commanders, Lions, Patriots, and then we can decide on a

192
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 3: fourth team.

193
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Paul, you got a couple more to sprinkling.

194
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: Well, I would say those teams because the Lions are

195
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 5: good and everyone's under contract. I'm gonna Ross, Saint Brown,

196
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 5: Pine Sewel Golf's contract is somewhat friendly.

197
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson, Hutchinson's SAR Gibbs.

198
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, Drake May's on a rookie deal, lots of

199
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 5: cap space. As you said, with the Patriots, a coach

200
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 5: under contract that seems like an alpha dog. And then

201
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 5: the Commanders, even though it's an off year, Jane Daniels,

202
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 5: everyone loves him or loved him, rookie deals, still good coach.

203
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: It just feels like it's set for the next few years.

204
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's a fourth team.

205
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: Broncos. Yeah, man, we cooled off on BOONEX, didn't we.

206
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 2: That didn't take long.

207
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: Like, I wouldn't put the Rams in there because in

208
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 5: two years we don't know what the Rams quarterback situational. Yeah,

209
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 5: that's the only reason the Rams are in great shape today.

210
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Yes, I would put Denver in there because I have

211
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: to believe in Sean Payton and kind of getting Boonix

212
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: back to where he was last year. That defense, I

213
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: think they have forty six sacks so far. It's been

214
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: I think twenty years since a team maybe thirty years

215
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 2: since the team had that many sacks this deep end

216
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 2: of the season. So you have a great defense. Seattle

217
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 2: seems like they're in pretty good shape. Maybe we're not

218
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 2: all in because we want to see what Sam Darnold

219
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 2: does in a playoff game, but this is a big

220
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: game coming up this weekend. You can make an argument

221
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: that the team that wins the Seattle LA game is

222
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 2: the best team in the NFC, And that's saying a lot,

223
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: but I would put Seattle in there. Sam Darnold's on

224
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 2: a team friendly deal. Smith Jigba is their best player.

225
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what his deal is, but other than that,

226
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're spending that much money. The

227
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: Colts situation seems pretty good, but you got to sign

228
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: up Danny Dimes. So it went from well that's a

229
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: great story to man, that's fifty million dollars there.

230
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, Pauline, what if I threw in the Cincinnati Bengals,

231
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 5: even though they're not good today. Joe Burrow in a

232
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 5: contract for a long time, Chase and Higgins under contract

233
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 5: for a long time.

234
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 2: No, no, because they have no defense. I can't trust Burrow.

235
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 2: He's you know, he gets injured too much. I got

236
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: two great receivers, but other than that, I got a

237
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: coach who may lose his job. So no, I wouldn't

238
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 2: look at that stability. Yes, Dylan, I.

239
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: Think you've mentioned it before, but the Bengals are really

240
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: feeling like that may have been their one Super Bowl

241
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: shot with Burrow.

242
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, And I'm sure people said after they lost

243
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: to the Rams eight they'll be back. There's no guarantee.

244
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: And can we say that, oh, yeah, they're gonna get

245
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 2: back like the Blue Jays. Are you going to say, yeah,

246
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: they're going to get back. I looked at the odds.

247
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 2: They're way down the list to get back to the

248
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 2: World Series. You know. I think when we looked at

249
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: the odds after the Super Bowl or after the World Series,

250
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: it was like ninth or tenth best odds to get

251
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: back to the World Series.

266
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 2: and uh second year with the T Mobile Friday Night

267
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: five G Lights competition. We talked about it last year.

268
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that coming up. Great to see you again.

269
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: What do you see when you see Drake May?

270
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, I kind of see a little clone of the

271
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 7: great Tom Brady in ways. I mean the way that

272
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 7: he's able to read a defense, the way he's able

273
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 7: to float the ball over coverage and hit his receivers

274
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 7: or hit his tight end the way he's been able

275
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 7: to get it to the guy that's open. Like say,

276
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 7: instead of forcing the ball, he'll check it down to

277
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 7: the running back and get five yards instead of you know,

278
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 7: instead of tossing it deep and having a possible interception,

279
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 7: he'll hit the He'll hit the guy that's going underneath,

280
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 7: and there will be an eight yard play and then

281
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 7: they'll just keep the chains moving from there. So Drake May,

282
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 7: he's a smart and intelligent football player, just like Tom Brady.

283
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 4: I see a lot of similarities big time.

284
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: Now. The one thing that would stand out is Drake

285
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 2: May's athleticism. Like he can he can run a little bit.

286
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean, was Tom ever athletic fast?

287
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: Well, Tom is very athletic.

288
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 7: For not being athletic, I mean he was drafted out

289
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 7: of high school as a catcher, you know, as a

290
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 7: baseball player, which is shocking.

291
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 4: You're like, oh my gosh, you're a baseball player too.

292
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 7: I mean, for not not being able to run super fast,

293
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 7: he still has great running for him, you know, not

294
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 7: to be able to run around in the pocket and

295
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 7: move out to the left and right, he's able to.

296
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 7: He makes up for it, and he's able to read

297
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 7: a defense better than.

298
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 4: Any other quarterback.

299
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 7: Tom knows his strengths, he knows his weaknesses, and he

300
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 7: focused on his strength so much that they became so

301
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 7: dominant that it didn't matter. He didn't that he didn't

302
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 7: have the ability to run the ball for a first

303
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 7: down because he didn't need that. And that's what made

304
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 7: Tom so special and that's why he is the greatest,

305
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 7: you know, player of all time to play as well.

306
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 2: Did you sign a one day contract with the Patriot?

307
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 4: Yes? I did, Yes, I did.

308
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 7: I signed it on Wednesday at twelve fifteen, so I

309
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 7: wasn't eligible to play in the game Thursday night because

310
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 7: he fired twelve fifteen on Thursday afternoon. That's why RKK

311
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 7: wanted me to do a two day contract, but I said, hey,

312
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 7: you're gonna have to give me a signing bonus.

313
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 4: So he didn't like that idea, so he only made

314
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 4: me bet contract.

315
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,640
Speaker 2: Could you play at all?

316
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 7: I feel like if I lined up, you know, if

317
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 7: it's you know, second in goal on the five yard line,

318
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 7: I could definitely give a fade route full speed and

319
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 7: probably complete it, you know, probably go up and make

320
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 7: the play. I would just say the stamina want to

321
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 7: be there, you know, the athleticism and put the mind

322
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 7: in the place where it needs to be for that

323
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 7: fifteen seconds. Yes, I can do that for a short

324
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 7: stint of time.

325
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 4: But that's all.

326
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: How competitive are you with your place in history among

327
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 2: tight ends.

328
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 4: As of now?

329
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 7: You know, not at all, because it's all over, you know,

330
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 7: it's over with. I can't really, you know, change the

331
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 7: outcome anymore. It's all set where it is now. But

332
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 7: when I was playing, there's no doubt to be one

333
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 7: of the greatest to play the game, you know, And

334
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 7: that probably came, you know, in year two, year three,

335
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 7: year four, when I was like, all right, I can

336
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 7: make my place in history. At the beginning of my career,

337
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 7: it wasn't even a thought. I just wanted to be

338
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 7: on an NFL roster. I just wanted to be able

339
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 7: to contribute to the team and put myself, as you know,

340
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 7: in the category of greatest.

341
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: You know, that.

342
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 7: Wontn't possibly come to my mind until at least halfway

343
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 7: through my career. And then I was like, man, you know,

344
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 7: if I keep being you know, great on the football field,

345
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 7: that can possibly be.

346
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 4: In that category.

347
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 7: You know, I wantn't really talk about it much because

348
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 7: you know, you just got to focus on what you

349
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 7: got to focus on and win games and be the best,

350
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 7: you know, teammate that you can be, and then everything

351
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 7: else would take care of itself.

352
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: But you look at Kelsey Gates. I don't know who

353
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: else you would put in there, but uh, guns Allis

354
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: I guess he put up his numbers too, which are

355
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 2: crazy and pretty pretty good grouping to be in. But

356
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: do you if somebody says, oh, Kelsey's better than you,

357
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: would you argue back that you're better than Kelsey?

358
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 7: Well, in many ways, Travis Kelcey is better than myself,

359
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 7: and then in many ways I would say I'm better

360
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 7: than Travis Kelcey. There's so many variables and tangibles that

361
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 7: go into it because we're kind of different players, but

362
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 7: we play the.

363
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 4: Same position still. I mean, Shannon Sharp said the best.

364
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not sure exactly how he put it,

365
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 7: but he said, like I'm mistake and like he's sushi.

366
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just what you want that night for dinner.

367
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 7: And they're both great, but they're both totally different, and

368
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 7: they both taste different, and they're both different on your palette.

369
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 7: So it's all about what type of offense you're in,

370
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 7: how you're getting used. And we're different players. Like if

371
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 7: we play together, that would be the ultimate combo. But

372
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 7: if I'm in a package where it's an old school offense,

373
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 7: you know, it's about running the ball, it's about just

374
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 7: play action. You know, it's about you know, being in

375
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 7: the trenches and beating down the other team that I

376
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 7: would take myself. But this day and era, with the

377
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 7: offense that Travis Kelsey is in, I feel like he

378
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 7: fits way better in his offense that you know that

379
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 7: he's in. And I don't think I would be able

380
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 7: to contribute like.

381
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 4: The way that he does.

382
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 7: So it's all different tangibles and variables like I said,

383
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 7: that go into it. And I love what Travis Kelsey's

384
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 7: doing and what's remarkable as well as you know, to

385
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 7: be in that category of the greatest, you gotta have

386
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 7: longevity too, and that's why Tony Gonzalez is in. And

387
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 7: I mean the guy played till thirty seven years old.

388
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 7: I'm thirty six. I couldn't imagine me playing right now

389
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 7: still thirty seven years old. I really wish I could

390
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 7: big time. Travis Kelsey's thirty six. He's still playing right now,

391
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 7: So it's impressive what they're doing. But also I would

392
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 7: say I was a little bit more crazier and reckless

393
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 7: through my twenties.

394
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: I paid the price a little bit, Dan, that's for sure.

395
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 2: Couldn't you have played differently, though, Gronk, No.

396
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 4: I could have not played differently. That's just a style

397
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 4: that was in me. That's just how I.

398
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 7: Was born to play. I wouldn't change anything. Hey, hey, groc,

399
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 7: if you play a little less savagey.

400
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 4: You know you're gonna have two or four years left

401
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 4: in your career.

402
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 7: I would be like, you know, I'll just stick to

403
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 7: the eleven years that I played. I don't need thirteen

404
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 7: because I'm all about just going full out. And that's

405
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 7: just how I rolled my whole life. And that's kind

406
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 7: of who made That's kind of what made me Dan

407
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: fake time.

408
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 2: You know, I go back to when you were first

409
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 2: in the league first couple of years, and they're like, oh,

410
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 2: they better worry about Gronk. He's doing Keg stands like,

411
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: if that's the worst thing that you were doing, I'm like,

412
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: you weren't a trouble maker. You played hard, you played hurt,

413
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: But I remember somebody was critical of you. Of man,

414
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: he's getting crazy, he's doing keg stands.

415
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 7: Yeah, I remember those days, and now we look at it.

416
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 7: It was so harmless. Everyone's like laughing about it, like

417
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 7: with so much other things going on in this world

418
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 7: and what else is going on in communities? Like people

419
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 7: were worried that I was a trouble maker because I

420
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 7: was doing tech stands.

421
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: Are you retired from keg stands?

422
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am.

423
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 7: It's been a long long time, that's for sure. Bound

424
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 7: I was doing all that craziness was kind of, like

425
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,719
Speaker 7: I said, made the made me the player that I

426
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 7: was because I was doing everything full speed.

427
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 4: I was doing everything full speed on the field and

428
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 4: off the field. That was my mindset.

429
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 7: And then, like I said, I want to have changed

430
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 7: it because, yeah, eleven years it got me to play.

431
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 7: But if I coulk be full speed and I would

432
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 7: have lasted thirteen years. I want to have done that

433
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 7: because it doesn't make me who I am.

434
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 2: Then better beer drinker, you are, Brady.

435
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 7: Tom actually is Tom Can pound beer is faster than

436
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 7: anyone that I've ever seen.

437
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 4: And beer drinking is really tough. I do.

438
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 7: I drink two beers now and I'm like, I'm super

439
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 7: full and bloated and I'm pretty tifty now and that's

440
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 7: all I need. I do social drinking now, I don't

441
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 7: go harrd like I used to. Social drinker. Now one

442
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 7: or two get me feeling good, you know, it gets

443
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 7: me to strike up a conversation and enjoy it.

444
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: All Right, you're back with the Friday Night five g

465
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: If they don't know that you're going to give them

466
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: this a million dollars.

467
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 4: They already know that they're getting the million dollars.

468
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 7: They already know that they're the grand prize winner, but

469
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 7: they don't know I'm here right now. We're about to

470
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,680
Speaker 7: have a rally in the gym, and I'm going to

471
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 7: surprise the whole entire time.

472
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:52,720

480
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: Pat Benson sneaker reporter for Sports Illustrated, and he wrote

481
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: an article today and had to do with Steph Curry

482
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: and under Armour have broken up. Kind of surprising. This

483
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 2: lateness career. Pat joins us now on the program. If

484
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: you were, let's say, going into whatever sport and you

485
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: could pick a shoe company right now, who would you pick?

486
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 6: Hey, Dan, thanks for having me. It would depend on

487
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 6: the sport. Honestly, I think the easy answer would be

488
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 6: Nike because they're top dog in America, But it would

489
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 6: certainly depend on the sport.

490
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: Okay, explain what happened here with Steph Curry that the

491
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: timing is kind of odd. I guess from the standpoint

492
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: of later in his career, you're not going to be

493
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: wired to wire here or close to it with under Armour.

494
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 6: How come timing incredibly odd? Just two years ago Under

495
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 6: Armour launched Kurt I'm Sorry. Five years ago under Armour

496
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 6: launched Curry Brand, and then in twenty twenty three they

497
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 6: signed a long term deal which had the potential to

498
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 6: be a lifetime contract. So we're two years into what

499
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 6: could have been a lifetime contract. But under Armour's undergoing

500
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 6: major restructuring and the included spin off Curry Brand, so

501
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 6: Curry Brand is independent. Stephen Curry and his sneaker company

502
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 6: are now sneaker free agents. They'll be looking for a

503
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 6: new home.

504
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: I don't even know what they look like, and I

505
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 2: don't know if under Armour has basketball other basketball shoes.

506
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: Did his shoes catch on.

507
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 6: Mixed results? Mixed results. So this is the latest shoe

508
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,719
Speaker 6: he's wearing right now, Curry Series seven. We're still waiting

509
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 6: on the Curry thirteen, which will be his final signature

510
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 6: shoe as part of a collaboration with under Armour. You know,

511
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 6: I think they started off strong, but I don't know

512
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 6: if they ever really recovered from a viral moment during

513
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 6: the twenty sixteen NBA Finals, his brother Seth wore these

514
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 6: low talk Curry two lows and it was one of

515
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 6: the first real moments, I want to say, on Twitter

516
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 6: where it was like a sneaker viral moment. And I'm

517
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 6: not sure if they ever recovered it. But the signature

518
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 6: line certainly had its highlight moments and solid performance technology,

519
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 6: and it's honestly a little sad to see it come

520
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 6: to an end like this.

521
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: Can we clear up the whole Nike you know situation

522
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 2: where he has the meeting with Nike and I don't

523
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: know what year it was. I did ask Steph about

524
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,439
Speaker 2: this and did somebody mispronounce his name? And was that

525
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: enough for him to decide to go elsewhere? What is fact?

526
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: What is fiction?

527
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 6: Here? Pat I think we're only going to know from

528
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 6: the people in that room. But Stephan started his career

529
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,919
Speaker 6: with Nike, played his first four seasons, and then his

530
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 6: first contract came to an end in twenty thirteen. And

531
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: first pitch was with Niko Harrison, who was at the

532
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,199
Speaker 6: time a executive for Nike, with Kobe Bryant and all

533
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 6: these other big shots in the NBA, And apparently the

534
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 6: meeting went terribly. Somebody mispronounced Stephan's name as Stephan. Nico

535
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 6: denied that. However, there was also a power point which

536
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 6: they copy and pasted Kevin Durant's information directly into Stephen's presentation,

537
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 6: and Nico he's only spoken about this like once, I believe.

538
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 6: In a twenty twenty two podcasts he didn't address the

539
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 6: PowerPoint situation, but he did deny mispronouncing Stephan's name.

540
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: But in retrospect, did Steph Curry make a mistake not

541
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: staying with Nike.

542
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 6: It's hard to say that because it was a perfect

543
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 6: one to two punts. She had the failed Nike meeting

544
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 6: and then under Armour came in and offered way more money.

545
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 6: Under Armour offered four million to Nikes two and a

546
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 6: half million plus a signature shoe deal. Keep in mind,

547
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 6: Stephan Curry wasn't Stephan Curry at that time. There were

548
00:28:55,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 6: no major awards, no championships, and he was battling ankle injuries.

549
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 6: So it was a major investment, a major gamble by

550
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: under Armour, and it paid off in the short term.

551
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,239
Speaker 6: But here we are more than a decade later, and

552
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 6: maybe it didn't pay off in the long term.

553
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: How attractive is Steph Curry on the open market at

554
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: this stage of his career.

555
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 6: Incredibly attractive because it doesn't even matter his NBA career

556
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,239
Speaker 6: could and tomorrow, there's still going to be brands that

557
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 6: want to sign him. We've seen this with other athletes,

558
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,479
Speaker 6: with Roger Federer leaving Nike for and you know, starting

559
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 6: his own business with or investing heavily and on. So

560
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 6: even if Leon Sanders went from Nike under armoured Nike,

561
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 6: so even after Stephan's done playing basketball, he's going to

562
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 6: be one of the biggest names in the footwear industry.

563
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 6: So he could take Curry brand, he could find some investors.

564
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 6: You know he's in San Francisco. I'm sure there's plenty

565
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 6: of tech money out there that can invest in his company.

566
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 6: Or he could partner with an existing brand. I think

567
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 6: it's too late for us to see the Nike Curry

568
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: One or the Adidas Curry One, but they're certainly Chinese

569
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 6: brands that would immediately turn around a signature shoe for

570
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 6: Curry in no time.

571
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: Give me the most popular basketball shoes.

572
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 6: Now, Kobe Bryant's retro Nike basketball shoes.

573
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: That's number one.

574
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 6: That's number one. It's not even close. For current active players,

575
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 6: It's an exciting season. There are three real big players

576
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 6: you need to watch. Anthony Edwards with Adidas Shake Gil

577
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 6: Just Alexander with Converse, John Morant with Nike. Those are

578
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 6: the three that you really want to watch this season.

579
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 6: They're really battling out and with the holiday season shaping up,

580
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 6: lots of jockeying, lots of marketing. It's really been fun

581
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 6: to watch for US sneaker nerds.

582
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: But you got Sabrina Iyronesque. Her shoe model was very popular.

583
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: Is Caitlin Clark in that stratosphere.

584
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 6: Sabrina has been an absolute Trailblazer. Her shoe has transhimitted

585
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 6: women's basketball, and it's the first women's shoe that has

586
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 6: been popular for men to wear, and that led to

587
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 6: Asia Wilson's first signature shoe being a smash hit. Kaitlyn

588
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 6: Clark's first signature shoe does not come out until twenty

589
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 6: twenty six. In the meantime, she's getting player exclusive color

590
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 6: ways from Kobe Bryant's Nike line, which in itself is

591
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 6: a high honor. But yeah, next year, the Kaitlyn Clark's

592
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 6: first signature Nike basketball shoe is going to be massive.

593
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 6: So that's that's gonna be something I'm really exciting to

594
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 6: follow in twenty twenty six.

595
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: Does Michael Jordan's estate get paid when Michael Jordan's gone?

596
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 6: Yes?

597
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: Absolutely, so forever.

598
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 6: Uh yeah, I mean I'm not entirely sure with like

599
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,239
Speaker 6: the intricacies of his contract, but absolutely, Like there are

600
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 6: royalties and Jordan brand is deeply tied to Nikes, So yeah,

601
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 6: that's going to go on forever as long as the

602
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 6: sign can continues to rise. Each day, Jordan's will sell

603
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 6: and the Michael Jordan's the state will make money.

604
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: What's the worst shoe? Uh, what's the worst shoe, like

605
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: the biggest failure?

606
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 6: Oh goodness, Well, you know what, Instead of naming an

607
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 6: active player, let's look back at Kobe Bryant's third signature

608
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 6: shoe with Adidas that was never released. Following the two

609
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 6: thousand and two NBA Finals, Kobe Bryant traveled to Germany

610
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 6: and had an acrimonious breakup with the company, bought his

611
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 6: way out of the company and said, you know what,

612
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 6: y'all keep that third shoe and I'm gonna just be

613
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 6: a sneaker free agent for the following season. And I

614
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 6: think he wore over one hundred different shoes, flirted with

615
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 6: Rebock Jordan brand, but at the end of the day,

616
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 6: it was Nike and that turned out to make history.

617
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 2: Do you have that shoe?

618
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 6: No, I don't have the Kobe three. It never released. However,

619
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 6: there are collectors that have the prototype, and Adidas has

620
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 6: since re released Kobe's old shoes rebranded, which is something

621
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 6: to watch because circling back to under Armour and Curry Brand.

622
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 6: Under Armour Earn owns Curry brand logo and I'm guessing

623
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 6: the footwear catalog as well, so I'm not sure how

624
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 6: the legal breakup went and maybe Curry gets that in

625
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 6: the divorce, but that's going to be something I'm sure

626
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,239
Speaker 6: they've negotiated, and that'll be something to follow up. Who

627
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 6: gets the Curry logo? Who gets the twelve thirteen signature shoes?

628
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 6: So that's gonna be something really really interesting to follow

629
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 6: over the next year. I'm sure we'll find out more.

630
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 2: And New Balances spent a lot of money here with

631
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 2: some big name athletes. Is it paying off?

632
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 6: Yeah? I think so. They have Cooper Flag in the NBA,

633
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 6: They've got Cameron Brink in the WNBA, They've got Josh

634
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 6: Allen in the NFL, Hey Shohey O'tani in Major League Baseball.

635
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 6: So yeah, they've got it going on. They've really got

636
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 6: a very talented roster Cocoa golf in tennis, so and

637
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 6: when they want to, they can market at a very

638
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 6: high level. I think they missed an opportunity with Otani

639
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 6: in the World Series, but just last night they dropped

640
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 6: some some gear for his MVP Awards. So New Balance

641
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 6: is fun. They're exciting, and they've gotten an incredibly talented roster.

642
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 2: Pat thanks for joining us, We appreciate it.
