1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 2: US men's hockey team was going to come back to

4
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: the New York area and then disperse from there as

5
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 2: the season second half the season starts on Wednesday. Well

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: they can't, couldn't because of the blizzard, and they ended

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: up in all places Miami, which let the party continue there.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 2: But the men's hockey team coming home, they've been invited

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: to the White House. Not sure when they're going to

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: be able to squeeze that in if that's something over

11
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: the summer. But US men's hockey team back home in Miami.

12
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: Uh Seaton poll question for the first hour the program

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 2: is going to be one.

14
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 3: I'm sure we could source a million out of letting

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 3: a hockey team loose in Miami. The hockey players seem

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 3: to have the freest pass for just party and don't

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:53,599
Speaker 3: worry about it.

18
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: Well, if you remember Ovechkin, I think he was like

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: in a fountain for days.

20
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: I mean, if we did like four months worth of coverage,

22
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: if Tom Brady drunk at a celeb at a parade, yeah,

23
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 3: I can assure you him sort of being carried through

24
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: this one thing is a way more team than what

25
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 3: I believe the US hockey team will be doing in Miami.

26
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Tom couldn't survive an afternoon, let alone a week or

27
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks or a month the way some

28
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: of these hockey players party. And you know, you get

29
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 2: the cup for one day, you get to take it

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: to your hometown, you get to do whatever you want

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: to do with it. So the party continues for these

32
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: hockey players, but in Miami that'll be I'll be interested

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: to see if they tone it down a little bit

34
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: just because they start playing hockey again on Wednesday.

35
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: Yes, Todd advertising.

36
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: My age, I guess and asking this what is considered

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 5: a wild party for these USA athletes, like what would

38
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 5: you stay up on my dancing drinking clubs? Because that

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 5: would have like what would be like something wild that

40
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 5: they would be participated would make it a wow. These

41
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 5: guys are crazy.

42
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: I don't want to divulge any information that I've been

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: given in previous championship runs like just Stanley Cup, but

44
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 2: there have been some Goobauchery would be the word that

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: might come up strip clubs. I think the Stanley Cup

46
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: ended up at the bottom of somebody's pool one time.

47
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: It's been had drinks out of it. They've had other

48
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 2: things in that, so there's you know, they're having fun.

49
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: They're hockey players. They don't get cheated. Yes, Paul, we

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: can watch.

51
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 6: This in real time. I'm on the Twitter right now

52
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 6: and all last night there's posts of the USA hockey

53
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 6: team at a club in Miami and they put the

54
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 6: highlights on the jumbo tron that they have basically a

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 6: TV in the club, and they start playing God Bless

56
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 6: the USA, and everyone's holding drinks and living it up.

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: Why not? You know, second half of the season starts

58
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 4: there on Wednesday.

59
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: I don't think hangovers affect hockey players much, gotta admit.

60
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think they're kind of you know, they're

61
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: they're built for this. That it's part of the becoming

62
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: a professional hockey culture. Yeah, really cultural. Yeah, sort of

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: like when you get your teeth knocked out, you don't go.

64
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: I got my teeth knocked down.

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 4: I got to go see the nettist. It's how bad

66
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: does it look? Okay?

67
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: All right, put me back out there. I might miss

68
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 2: a shift stitches, Yeah, all right, I can do it.

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: How many forty two?

70
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 7: Wow?

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 4: That's nice. Okay, go back out there. I wonder if there's.

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 3: A hockey version of the the you know, we always

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: make fun of the guy who, like in basketball, you know,

74
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 3: scores a bucket and then he's pointing like defense, you you, you, you,

75
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: you gotta do this. I wonder if there's a hockey

76
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 3: version of that, Like a dude gets smashed like that

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 3: and he spits his teeth out and gets back up

78
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 3: and he's like, you're on defense, You're really I.

79
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: Don't think that they even flinch with that stuff at all.

80
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: I just think it's like I'm missing some chick lits.

81
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: Anybody see some teeth?

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 8: All right?

83
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: Never mind that dude just popped back up, but was like,

84
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: all right, I gotta keep playing. I just remember doing

85
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: highlights on Sports Center and somebody would just get crushed

86
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: and you know, they take him off the ice, and

87
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 2: i'd you know, say, you know he returned a second

88
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 2: period because he's a hockey player, like his next shift. Yeah,

89
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 2: it was just it's expected, Yes, Dodd.

90
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: Can you slap the ice? What would be the analogy

91
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: to that in hockey to make that big play? Like,

92
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 5: there's really no time to do that. The game goes

93
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 5: too fast. Outs smacking the ice?

94
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's a Steve Wojahowski duke moment

95
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: where I'm going to play defense now, but with your

96
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: stick second flapping, slapping the ice, slapping the base. All right,

97
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: So well, come up with the pole question. The NFL

98
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: combine is back and the annual obsessions begin, hand size,

99
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: arm length. We know the drill here, but it's more

100
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: than just the measurements, because you know, when you think

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: about it, you do have the prospects who are working

102
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: out front offices, are negotiating franchise tags, the Cowboys looking

103
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: at George Pickens, mapping out free agency, laying the groundwork

104
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: for trades the draft. So you get thirty two teams

105
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: represented under one roof in Indianapolis, and the fixation will

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: be the following quarterbacks because you don't have a good

107
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: rookie class coming in. You might have two. You got

108
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,799
Speaker 2: one Marquee and you might have another one in Alabama

109
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 2: quarterback Ty Simpson. But other than that, now you start

110
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: to talk about, well what about Kyler, Murray, Kirk Cousins

111
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: two atongua Aya Logo Loa, I mean Geno Smith. There's

112
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 2: a lot of different quarterback names that are being thrown

113
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: around and recent history has probably softened the stigma of

114
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: the reclamation project because Sam Darnold won a Super Bowl,

115
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield reinvented his career, Joe Flacco turned back the clock.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 2: So no longer a punchline. It's actually a necessity for

117
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 2: some of these teams. And I think the question is

118
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: who's going where and how many teams are going to say,

119
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: you know what, let's wait, let's be patient here, or

120
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 2: do you try to solve your quarterbacking problems like Atlanta.

121
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 2: I keep hearing it. Atlanta is kind of in the

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 2: mix for a quarterback now. They have Michael Pennix junior.

123
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 2: But where's Kirk Cousins going? Does he go back to Minnesota?

124
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: Are the Vikings all in on JJ McCarthy? What's Aaron

125
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: Rodgers going to do? I still think Aaron Rodgers in

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota makes a lot of sense because I thought that

127
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 2: was going to happen in the off season. Now you're

128
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: reunited with Mike McCarthy. Maybe reunited not the best word

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: to use with their relationship, but it's one year and

130
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: I thought Aaron Rodgers played well enough. You know, are

131
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 2: you going to be competing for a Super Bowl? Not

132
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: this next year. But you know, don't do anything crazy

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: at the quarterbacking position unless you feel like, okay, we

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: got somebody here. We know that Fernando Mendoza is going

135
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: number one overall, but then after that, we're not quite sure.

136
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: You might not have a quarterback taken in the first

137
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 2: round after that, and if you do, it might be

138
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: a team that reaches a little bit. And maybe it's

139
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: the Steelers who do that, and you know, sit him

140
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: behind Aaron Rodgers for a year. But just getting everybody together, like,

141
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 2: who's taking a chance on Toua? I don't know how

142
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: much he's going to cost you, since you know Dolphins

143
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 2: are on the hook for ninety nine million dollars. What's

144
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: Miami doing here? Is Quinn yours going to be a

145
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: band aid quarterback? Are you going to see what he

146
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 2: can do? So there's so many different questions here at

147
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: that position, and I think that's what's going to be interesting.

148
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: Here's something that it's not a report, all it is

149
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: is conversation, and it's Lamar Jackson. Are you going to

150
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: sign him up for the long haul? Do you want

151
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: him to be your quarterback? Would you consider trading Lamar

152
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Jackson now? Once again, this is just conversation, and maybe

153
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: it's because this time there's not much going on, so

154
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: you start to throw out things, speculate on things. What

155
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: about you know they could do this. Now there's no

156
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: reporting on this, but I'm curious. You do have a

157
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: new coach coming in, you know, offensive coordinator. They made

158
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: it clear that they want Lamar Jackson to be in

159
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: Baltimore in the off season helping with this team. So

160
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: you know he's going to go to the Hall of Fame.

161
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: The question is he going to be a Baltimore Raven

162
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: his entire career? But it's nothing more than just conversation

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 2: of people saying what if that would happen?

164
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, Pauling, I just saw an article last night. You're

165
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 6: talking about quarterbacks in the demand. Malik Willis was listed

166
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 6: as the number one free agent of the entire offseason

167
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: by NFL Network yesterday. Twenty seven years old. Friendly contract,

168
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 6: I mean he Chris sim said the other day he

169
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 6: could be in high demand.

170
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think he's going to cost you a

171
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: lot more money, like like three years a hundred. Well,

172
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: now he's well, he's a free agent, so it's not

173
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 2: a friendly contract. It's he's going to negotiate. Well, maybe

174
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: it's a Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold contract, you know, as

175
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: we usually throw out three years, one hundred million or something.

176
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 2: But I agree. I think that he would be an

177
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: ideal quarterback in a couple of different places. I think

178
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: he's he's one of those Hey, let's see what you

179
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: can do. Uh yeah, he didn't perform. Okay, we move on.

180
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: And I think that he's got a lot of talent.

181
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: And when he played with the Packers in for Jordan Love,

182
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: they didn't miss anything. In my opinion, I thought he

183
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 2: played really really well. You know, he can do what

184
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: you want with today's quarterback. But you know, you're there.

185
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: It's the combine. We kind of poke fun at it.

186
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: But you know, I will tell you this as one

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: of my sources always tells me who goes to the combine,

188
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 2: he's a scout. You know, it's your chance to get

189
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 2: in person with these players. Are you really six three? No,

190
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: you're six one and a half. You know, hand size

191
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 2: it does matter at certain positions, which it should. Now,

192
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 2: why is it that we don't measure hand size when

193
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 2: it comes to the NBA because everybody handles the basketball

194
00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: I would have thought that we would have measurables there

195
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: for players coming in. I'd be very curious. I'd be

196
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: very curious how quick you are, not fast, how quick

197
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: you are? How quick do you jump? Now, we don't

198
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 2: get caught up in a combine for the NBA. I

199
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: know they get rookies using in Chicago, They've done that

200
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: for years. But those are things I'd be curious about.

201
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 2: If you've ever been around somebody who can jump or

202
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: somebody who can quick jump. Oh man, there's a big

203
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 2: difference quick jumpers. That's trouble. That's trouble when they're guarding you.

204
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: But also hand size, I would think, you know, that

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 2: would be important, and also how quick you are from

206
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: A to B and it's only you know, could be

207
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: five feet three feet, yeah, Pauline.

208
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 6: I went back a little bit and looked at NBA

209
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 6: dot com and they do have a list going back

210
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 6: to two thousand and six, two thousand and seven. It's

211
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 6: not exactly their version of a combine, but they do

212
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 6: medicals on players and it has hand length, height, standing

213
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 6: reach weight wingspan for almost every player including I look back,

214
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 6: I found Kawhi Leonard's official hand size with they called

215
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 6: it eleven point twenty five inches. This was twenty eleven. Yeah,

216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 6: I'm sure it's grown since then. I'm not sure that.

217
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: But you also you get quarterbacks in a room where

218
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 2: you can ask them questions. You can you can pick

219
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 2: up on their personality, you can pick up on their

220
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: football IQ. You can put them in front of a

221
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 2: chalkboard and say, diagram this play. You can play something

222
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 2: back to them and say what happened or what would

223
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: you do on that. You know, there's just all kinds

224
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 2: of things that you can do that you can glean

225
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: information where it's not just how fast you run the

226
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 2: forty because a lot of you know, these players like

227
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza, I wouldn't throw at the combine. I would

228
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: just go and interview. I don't think I need to

229
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: show you anything. I know what happens when the game

230
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: is on and you're playing. That's the most important thing.

231
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: But you know, there is no second quarterback that you go, well,

232
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 2: it's Ryan Leaf, Peyton Manning. It's not that it's Fernando Mendoza.

233
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: Go in, be personable, it's in your backyard in Indiana

234
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: and have some fun with this. Let the other players

235
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 2: have the showcase, run the forty, whatever you know you're

236
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 2: going to do with strength, bench pressinging, all of that.

237
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: But his his will be getting in front of these teams. Now,

238
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's going to interview with other teams.

239
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how that works. If you go to

240
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: the combine, does everybody get to talk to you? Because

241
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 2: if I'm Fernando Mendoza and I'm the Raiders, I'm like, Hey,

242
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 2: that's our guy. Even though you're on the clock. You

243
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: can't take him yet. But I would be saying I

244
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: don't want him sharing anything. Yes, Marvin doing those drills

245
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 2: at the combine? Is that more so for the smallest

246
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: cool guys.

247
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 9: And if you go to Alabama or Ohio State, you

248
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 9: guys have seen me for thirteen weeks for the past

249
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 9: two years, so you know what I do. If you

250
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 9: go to Northern Illinois or Central Michigan, that's what's for right.

251
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: The combine is for the player who is not necessarily known.

252
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: He gets that opportunity and sometimes you'll get somebody who

253
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: will reinforce just how good they are. Somebody's gonna get

254
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: out there and go it. I'll run a forty and

255
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 2: then you might run it better than you know previously,

256
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: or how many reps bench pressing, which I never really understood,

257
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 2: like Kevin Durant, I don't even think he could do

258
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: a bench one hundred and eighty pounds.

259
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: Does that sound about right, Marvin?

260
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 9: It was people were making it a big deal. It's like,

261
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 9: you know, how much of ball weighs? Yeah, not one

262
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 9: hundred and eighty five pounds.

263
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 4: All I need to know is can you shoot? Can

264
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 4: you hit your shot off? Yeah?

265
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 6: Pauli Fernanda Mendoza was reported yesterday will not throw at

266
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 6: the combine like you said, but he will throw at

267
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 6: Indiana's Pro Day April first at Mellencamp Pavilion in Bloomington.

268
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

269
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 2: Well, that'll be for his teammates, for them to get

270
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 2: an eye, a chance to be under the watchful eye

271
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:05,560

Speaker 4: How you feeling today?

291
00:14:59,120 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 6: Dan?

292
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 11: It was stealing a lot better until you said Shay

293
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 11: Gildess Alexander wasn't famous, because we're already hurting up here, Dan,

294
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 11: We're already hurrying up here, my friend. And that's our

295
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 11: baby boy. We're so proud of him. He's our boy.

296
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 11: We love him so much. He's smoother than the gravy

297
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 11: we put on our poutine. So you gotta watch out

298
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 11: for Shae. I did appreciate you talking about alex Trebek though,

299
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 11: another great Canadian. That was a wonderful segment.

300
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: You just had the level of trepidation you had prior

301
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 2: to Sunday's game was what.

302
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 11: Almost zero. I feel like the narrative about these two

303
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 11: teams is that they've been very close competitively. Dan. Since

304
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 11: Mike Bdano moved to Saskatchewan in the late eighties and

305
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 11: became a Prince Albert Raiders legend, these two programs have

306
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 11: been neck and neck for basically decades. Canada won in

307
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 11: overtime in twenty ten. You and I are were there

308
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 11: in twenty fourteen. You know, Canada beating Sweden. These hockey

309
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 11: nations are all great, and the USA has been great

310
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 11: for decades. It was no surprise to me whatsoever that

311
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 11: they won. I think Canada dominated the game five on five.

312
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 11: But once you get to a three on three overtime, Dan,

313
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 11: with the skilled players that Canada has and the skilled

314
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 11: players that the US has, you saw it. It can

315
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 11: end in the blink of an eye.

316
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 4: Basically, is the United States now the home of hockey?

317
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 11: I don't know about that, but I'll say this. Your

318
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 11: women's team is the most dominant force on the planet

319
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 11: right now in terms of international hockey. They have beaten

320
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 11: the Canadian women, their only real rival, seven or eight

321
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 11: times in a row, including the gold medal game, which

322
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 11: was the only close game of those seven or eight

323
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 11: games I mentioned. They have been absolutely dominating the Canadians,

324
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 11: so so shout out to your women's team. They are

325
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 11: the they are the current force in international hockey right now.

326
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: How would you sum up the overall feeling of Canada yesterday.

327
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 11: Well, here's what I would say, Dan. We were given

328
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 11: permission by our federal government to open our bars two

329
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 11: hours before puck drop at eight am Eastern time. Anytime

330
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 11: Canadians can wake up on a Sunday morning and legally

331
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 11: drink at bars, it's going to be hard to make

332
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 11: them too depressed at the end of a really good

333
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,639
Speaker 11: hockey game. I think the majority of the country was

334
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 11: pretty drunk by the time ten thirty am Eastern Time

335
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 11: rolled around. But I think overall, probably a little sadness.

336
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 8: Dan.

337
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 11: I think, you know, Sidney Crosby didn't even play in

338
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 11: the game, and in a lot of ways it was

339
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 11: seen as his last hurrah. You know, you could one

340
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 11: of my colleagues said it best. Sidney Crosby sort of

341
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 11: is is the face of winning in the National Hockey

342
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 11: League over the last couple of decades. And now that's

343
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 11: that's probably Matthew Kuchuk. He's won two Stanley Cups and

344
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 11: a gold medal in the last two hundred or so days.

345
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 11: So not two hundred or so days, Dan, it's early

346
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 11: in the morning. I'm getting my days mixed up. But

347
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 11: two years, two and a half years, that's right there

348
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 11: we go. So yeah, I think if from an American perspective,

349
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 11: this is great for the game. And I don't know

350
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 11: if it's going to grow the game anymore. Dan, I

351
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 11: think the game is kind of what it is. It's

352
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 11: a niche sport in the United States. You and I

353
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 11: both know that you're not talking about hok you're not

354
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 11: talking about the trade deadline in two weeks. I don't

355
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 11: think you're having a trade deadline show. But it is

356
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,640
Speaker 11: great for the sport in the sense that they got

357
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 11: over the hump they were knocking on the door forever.

358
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 11: And with this terrific team and this incredible goaltender, Dan,

359
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 11: you've got the second coming of Ladislav tretch Yat there.

360
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 11: The goalie in the miracle on ice, Connor Helibuck is otherworldly.

361
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,680
Speaker 11: Three vesnaes, a Heart Trophy. Goalies don't win Most Valuable

362
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 11: Players in the National Hockey League too often, and that's

363
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 11: what Connor Hallibuck did last year. And on Sunday morning

364
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 11: he won them that game. He was that good. Canada

365
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 11: got Goalid. As they say in hockey, Canada's goaliad other countries.

366
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 11: This time Canada got Goalid.

367
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 4: Who came up with goalies standing on their heads.

368
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 11: That term yeah phrase, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know, Dan,

369
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 11: that's a good question. Foster Hewitt, Bob Cole, Jack Buck,

370
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 11: I don't know, it's a great question.

371
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 4: Maybe Garrison Keeler, somebody. Yeah, Gary Thorne, I don't know.

372
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 4: I go to the state, but I heard that. You

373
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 4: know that.

374
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 2: And it's usually novices like me will be even standing

375
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 2: on his head, like you want to impress the hockey

376
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 2: person you somehow know what you're talking about.

377
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 11: It's like goalies in general are the catchers of hockey. Right, catchers,

378
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 11: they're always a little quirky. Yeah, they eventually become either

379
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 11: broadcasters or managers.

380
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 8: Right.

381
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 11: They always they seem to see the game differently than

382
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 11: other baseball players. Goalies are exactly the same in hockey.

383
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 11: They become our broadcasters and a lot of times our coaches.

384
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 11: They're by far the quirkiest, strangest dudes on the team.

385
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 11: And Connor Hellibucks is just the most amazing thing about

386
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 11: a lot of your American players is their stars on

387
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 11: Canadian teams. Brady Kachuk is the captain of the team

388
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 11: that is in the capital of Canada, and Connor Hellibuck

389
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 11: is the best player on the Winnipeg Jets. Canadians love

390
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 11: these players. But Sunday was tough. It was a little

391
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 11: sad one, Dan. But congratulations to you guys. I think

392
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 11: it's an amazing team and I think it was. It

393
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 11: was a great game and great for the Olympics. Great,

394
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 11: just great to have the players back at the Olympics.

395
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: Well maybe it's for four more years when I have

396
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: you on when team USA beats Canada again, Jay Dan.

397
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 11: Why again? This shake Gill? Just stuff?

398
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 7: Can we at.

399
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 2: Least say he's not famous. He's great, he's he's sports famous.

400
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: But he's got a data kar Danishian.

401
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,640
Speaker 11: That's fair, that's fair. Well, you know, we'll see if

402
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 11: we you know, we'll see what we can do. He

403
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 11: seems very happy again. He's just so Canadian, he's so chill.

404
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: But we acknowledge, and we acknowledge. You know, some of

405
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: your other players, Jamal Murray, right, Steve nas We.

406
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 11: Got a good team coming to the LA Olympics. Stand

407
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 11: we can do it. We can do it. What if

408
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 11: we upset you guys in basketball at the at the

409
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 11: LA Olympics.

410
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 4: I will about that. I will have you back on it.

411
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 4: I can't wait.

412
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 2: I will have you back on What impact did Vince

413
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 2: Carter have on Canadian players like basketball?

414
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 11: It was everything, Dan. It was as much as Steve

415
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 11: Nash was obviously massively influential up here as a Canadian

416
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 11: born player who won two MVPs. Vince was more influential

417
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 11: for Chase generation. Absolutely, I mean influential not just for

418
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 11: Canadians but for Americans too, and just the way he played.

419
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 11: But he did something for Toronto, and he did something

420
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 11: for the Raptors. He put them on the map. Tmac

421
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 11: was here too, but he was in and out. Vince

422
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 11: was here and he made such an impact, And obviously

423
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 11: everyone remembers the slam dunk and just how dominant he was.

424
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 11: I love that he's kind of becoming an unofficial ambassador

425
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 11: to try to round up more popular players for the

426
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 11: Slam Dunk contest. I think that's a perfect role for Vince.

427
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 11: But honestly, Dan, he was everything Vince wise up here,

428
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 11: and and I love that he continues to say great

429
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 11: things about the city and the country, So shut up

430
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 11: to Vince Carter, not an official Canadian but absolutely an

431
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 11: honorary one.

442
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: Reggie Miller back on the show how hard did USC

443
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 2: Recruit you? I can't hear I can't hear you. I

444
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 2: can't hear the fight song.

445
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 8: Oh oh, I can't.

446
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: I couldn't. You can hear the fight song? You can

447
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: hear the.

448
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 7: Fight We're gonna have some fighting words between you. I

449
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 7: love the Patroocks, I love the family, all the girls.

450
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 8: I treat them like family.

451
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: And I'm gonna be I'm gonna say this because I

452
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 7: have a little bit of Trojan.

453
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 8: Blood flowing through me. A little bit, but there is

454
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 8: it is night and day between the two schools.

455
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 7: Okay, it's much harder, much harder to get into the

456
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 7: state school than it is to pay someone underneath the table.

457
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 7: Pay someone underneath the table. You can pay your way

458
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 7: into USC. You're not paying your way into UCLA, my friends.

459
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: But that's where people wanted to get into USC so

460
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: badly they were willing to pay.

461
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 8: They just wanted to go to the party. Is a party.

462
00:24:55,560 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 7: School San Diego State? Yeah, USC, there you see, Santa Barbara.

463
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 7: Those are party schools, Arizona State, party school.

464
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 4: How hard did us? She recruit you?

465
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 7: Pretty hard? Stan Morrison was the coach. But I knew

466
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 7: I was never gonna go there. I wanted to go

467
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 7: to the school. UCLA had the pedigree as growing up

468
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 7: you wanted to be a bruin, you wanted to play,

469
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 7: be part of the Wooden tradition. So I knew I

470
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 7: was gonna go to I wanted to go to UCLA.

471
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 7: I was their last choice. They wanted Reggie Williams Georgetown,

472
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 7: Antoine Juba, Michigan, and Tom Sheehy. I believe ended up

473
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,439
Speaker 7: going to Virginia. Those were the three small fours that

474
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,479
Speaker 7: UCLA wanted. They all went elsewhere, and I was their

475
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 7: their fourth choice. So I was the last minute recruit

476
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 7: and ended up going to UCLA. But if it wasn't

477
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 7: in UCLA, I probably would have ended up either at

478
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 7: Arizona State or cal State Fullerton. Those those were really

479
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 7: the only options for me. I held I held out

480
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 7: hope Ucla came and the rest is history.

481
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: Wait, Antoine Jobert wasn't a power or wasn't a small forward?

482
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 8: He was?

483
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 4: He was a point guard, six flo Wait.

484
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 2: Wait, isn't he one of the top assist guys in

485
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 2: the history of the Big Ten?

486
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 8: I don't think so, is he?

487
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 4: I thought he was a big assist guy.

488
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 8: Didn't know.

489
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 4: Didn't he look like he was a small forward? Didn't

490
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 4: he look like prince? Like his hair? Yeah he did?

491
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 4: Yeah he did? Yeah?

492
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Antoine Jobert antoise n Last night, this was a

493
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: clue on Jeopardy.

494
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 8: SGA.

495
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 11: This guy won the twenty twenty four to twenty.

496
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 6: Five NBA MVP Award to go along with the scoring

497
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 6: title and NBA Championship.

498
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 8: Someone got it right, right.

499
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 4: Why isn't s G a famous Uh?

500
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: Probably because of the market he plays in. He's in

501
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 7: a small market. But come on, now, that's a little

502
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 7: baffling because he is an NBA champ and he is

503
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 7: our MVP, reigning MVP, so I'm a little miffed that

504
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 7: they wouldn't get that, But again, it's the market he

505
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 7: plays in.

506
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's the market.

507
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 7: I think this year, if it ends up being Kay

508
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 7: Cunningham and it's that same question, I bet you people

509
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 7: wouldn't get Kay Cunningham.

510
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 8: It's a bigger though. It's a bigger market than OKAC

511
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 8: Detroit is.

512
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 2: And then a lot of this is still how you

513
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: play the game, the style, like what make you unique.

514
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 2: You don't have to be the best player in the

515
00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: game for people to know who you are. And really

516
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 2: in any sport, you know, we were looking for what

517
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 2: is different about you know that guy, you know, Steph

518
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: Curry is always going to stand out. He's not the

519
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 2: best player in the sport, but people know who he is. Well,

520
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: how many people do you think in the NBA that

521
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 2: people know who necessarily aren't NBA fans.

522
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 8: My household names. Yeah, I would say.

523
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 4: Ron, so you have Lebron, Steph Katie.

524
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 7: I think people know Kevin Durant, Luca, I think they know.

525
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 7: I think they're starting to know Victor wmbin Yama just

526
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 7: because at seven four. That's a different look for people.

527
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people know Jalen Brunson because

528
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 7: of the market he plays for for New York.

529
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 8: And then after.

530
00:28:54,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: That, I mean, yeah, I know, and it's and it's tricky.

531
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: Although I could say that about baseball. I could say,

532
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: how many players are household names? And it might be Otawni,

533
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Aaron Judge, but not anymore, not anymore.

534
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 2: But how many guys are household names in baseball?

535
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 8: Not many?

536
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 7: I think I think more in basketball because you can

537
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 7: see the guys. You can make it the case in

538
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 7: football too, which is even worse because they're covered up.

539
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 8: Right. I think we know the handful of quarterbacks.

540
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 7: But if a if a George Pickens, or uh if.

541
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 8: Even Jalen Hurts. If Jalen Hurks walks into a room,

542
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 8: well people really know who he is, not really? Yeah,

543
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 8: and he's a Super Bowl MVP.

544
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. What was your favorite part of the All Star Game?

545
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 8: I love the competitive that the guy he's brought.

546
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 7: You know, When I was up there with the commissioner

547
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 7: when we were giving out the trophy for the young guns,

548
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 7: I believe it was the stars that ended up or yeah,

549
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 7: the stars that ended up winning it.

550
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 8: Chat, Holkerl was like, did we play hard? Yuff Edge,

551
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 8: did we play hard enough?

552
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 7: I was like, absolutely, you guys played hard and brought

553
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 7: it And it was surprising that like he said that

554
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 7: to me, did we play hard enough?

555
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 8: And I loved the competitive spirit.

556
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 7: Now that last game wasn't great, but I thought the

557
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 7: old timers left everything out there in that third game

558
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 7: to get him there. Kawhi Leonard went absolutely crazy. But

559
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 7: I love the competitive spirit and I think we'll get

560
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 7: the same thing next year if they keep the same format,

561
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 7: because you gotta remember Johannis didn't play, and he would

562
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 7: have played the way Victor set the tone. Jannis would

563
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 7: have done that, and I believe sj would would have

564
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 7: done that.

565
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 8: Both were hurt.

566
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 7: So if they keep this same format and those guys

567
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 7: make it and they're not hurt. Remember the world went

568
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 7: zero for two and they should have on gay one,

569
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 7: but that unbelievable shot of the buzzer. So I love

570
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 7: the competitive atmosphere. That was the best thing about it.

571
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 7: Saturday night was great. The three point competition was fantastic.

572
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 7: To me, I've been telling you this for what eight

573
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 7: nine years? That is the best event always on Saturday

574
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 7: because it's so easy to follow. Make miss moneyball rack

575
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 7: where you're getting them from, and the fans can follow along.

576
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 4: Do you think Devin Booker missed those on purpose?

577
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 7: No?

578
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 8: Are you kidding? Why would he miss it them on.

579
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 4: Purpose to give Dame you know, a chance to win?

580
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 7: But I loved, I love I was praying for his demise. Oh,

581
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 7: I am going to be using that. That is going

582
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 7: to be my mantra if someone crosses me, I'm praying

583
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 7: for your demise.

584
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 8: Oh that is cold blooded.

585
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 7: No, he did not miss those on purpose, and that's

586
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 7: what made it so thrilling is he had his money rack.

587
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 8: This wasn't just a normal rack.

588
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 7: He put the money rack as the last rack for him,

589
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 7: and usually you make three out of five in your

590
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 7: money rack.

591
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 8: He only made one of five. So no, he was

592
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 8: not trying to give it to Date.

593
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 4: Who would you rather shoot like Dame or Booker?

594
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 8: Both? I think both have a beautiful stroke, beautiful follow through.

595
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna thrown in there.

596
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 8: Do you see the way con started the content at.

597
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 7: Twenty seven as a rookie, not afraid of the big

598
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 7: stage and not afraid of the lineup that was to

599
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 7: follow him. He set the stage. It's just that these

600
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 7: other guys. I mean, I pray, I pray, and you know,

601
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 7: Steph has come out and said, I'm gonna be a

602
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 7: part of it. Dame will be a part of it.

603
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 7: I want Carl Anthony Towns back in it.

604
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 8: On Oh, I know, book, I.

605
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 7: Want this should be a Tournament of Champions next year.

606
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 2: We're talking to Reggie Miller, the Hall of Famer U

607
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: c l a grad and of course Coast to Coast Tuesday.

608
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 4: Did you graduate? Yeah? Okay, Fritzy said you didn't.

609
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 5: That's cold.

610
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 8: Don't know, Fritzy, and he's trying to come between us. Fritzy,

611
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 8: let's catch.

612
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 2: The Nickson Calves NBC and Peacock NBCSN with Noah Eagle.

613
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 2: You were there with the Celtics and the Lakers. What's

614
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: going on with the Lakers?

615
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 7: I think, uh, defensively, it will always be an issue

616
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 7: with them going forward. I know what they're going to

617
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 7: do offensively, but I'm going to give more credit to

618
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 7: Boston in that particular game because how they started the

619
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 7: game defensively is how you want the Lakers to play

620
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 7: after you, and they just.

621
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 8: Don't have the personnel to play that way.

622
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 7: I think Jaylen Brown set the tone guarding Luca along

623
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 7: with Baylor Shireman.

624
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 8: That was his main job.

625
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 7: Pick him up full court, turn them, work them, and

626
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 7: they just got into them defensively. And until the Lakers

627
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 7: find an identity defensively, they'll find you know, they'll be

628
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 7: able to score with whatever team, but come playoff time,

629
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,240
Speaker 7: they're gonna have to find the defensive identity.

630
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 4: Luca cries too much.

631
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 8: Do you want me to comment on that?

632
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: You know that?

633
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean does it work?

634
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:50,640
Speaker 8: Reg And this is coming from a crier. No, this

635
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 8: is coming from a crier.

636
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: No, you're in oc You're an original crier.

637
00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 8: Right, And it doesn't work. And I made it a point.

638
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 7: Especially come playoff time, you can't talk to the refs.

639
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 7: You can't get into a battle with him because when

640
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 7: every possession matters and you're trying to conserve energy, wants

641
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 7: the playoffs hit because the emotions are so high, you cannot.

642
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 7: You got to pick your battles of where to expend energy.

643
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 7: And if you are always on the referees case and complaining,

644
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 7: you know, we highlighted it in the game when you

645
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 7: know he felt that there was a voul he stayed

646
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 7: on the ground.

647
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 8: It was a five or four.

648
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 7: Opportunity and it was a three point. You just you

649
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 7: can't do it. You'll never win that.

650
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 4: Battle, you know.

651
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Celtics, they play hard, they really do.

652
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: And I think Jalen Brown deserves a lot more attention

653
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: that he's getting because he's always been in Tatum's shadow

654
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 2: and Tatum might be coming back here soon. And if

655
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,760
Speaker 2: they're able to work him in the lineup, a lineup

656
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 2: that has really contributed off the bench, Pritchard's been wonderful.

657
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 2: You know, they're the team to beat in the East

658
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,760
Speaker 2: in my opinion, if Tatum is able to come back

659
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 2: and be anywhere near what he was.

660
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 7: Listen to me, Theodore, because you're right on everything you

661
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 7: just said. But I'm going to say this, with or

662
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 7: without Tatum, even if Tatum doesn't come back, the Celtics

663
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 7: are the scariest team in the Eastern Conference. And the

664
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 7: reason being is there's no expectations because people thought this

665
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 7: was going to be a gap year about Tatum and

666
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 7: the way that Jalen Brown his name certainly should be

667
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,439
Speaker 7: in the MVP discussion along with Kate Cunningham. Those two,

668
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 7: I know SGA and I know Jokic. I give both

669
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 7: of them all their flowers. But what Kate has done

670
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 7: in Detroit, and especially what Brown has done with the Celtics,

671
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 7: with or without Tatum coming back, the Celtics are a

672
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 7: real threat to win the Eastern Conference because they're well

673
00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 7: coached by coach Missoula.

674
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 8: They're deep, they can play a number of ways.

675
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 7: They can play big, small, and I think the pickup

676
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 7: of the Vossevich down low, he can play with us

677
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 7: back to the basket. He can knock down threes. They

678
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 7: play a certain way. They're gonna jack up a lot

679
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:18,240
Speaker 7: of threes. Most of their shots come from sixteen feet

680
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 7: out or further, and they get after you defensively. I'm

681
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 7: just telling people. I know they're high on the Knicks,

682
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 7: and they're high on Detroit, and rightfully so I give that.

683
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 7: And Cleveland's on their way up as well. The people

684
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 7: pay attention to Boston, and to your point, if if

685
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 7: Tatum does come back, I think it'll be a seamless

686
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 7: transition because he's been over there all season long and he.

687
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 8: Doesn't want to disrupt anything.

688
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 7: I think he will come in and play and people

689
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 7: are like, oh, he's gonna disrupt rhythm and he's gonna.

690
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 8: Throw it off.

691
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 7: I would much rather have an all NBA guy play

692
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 7: twenty minutes than not at all. So if he does

693
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 7: come back and this is his decision only, I think

694
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 7: it's only going to help Boston.

695
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 2: How nervous were you interviewing or President Barack Obama?

696
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 7: Look, the night before I practiced in the mirror, my

697
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 7: cadence of questions that I didn't want to flub. But

698
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 7: once I got there and the lights hit me, it

699
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 7: was showtime. I was honored to have a chance to,

700
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 7: you know, interview him and talk hoops. I loved the

701
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 7: little dig about his bulls beating my beloved pacers, but

702
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 7: I had to remind him, Look, he's gonna talk about

703
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 7: the push off?

704
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 8: Was it a push off in Utah? And Brian Russell?

705
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 7: Right, yeah, And he said no, So I wasn't a

706
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 7: push off against MJ No. But I was honored to

707
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,320
Speaker 7: have a chance to interview the former president.

708
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 4: How do we get rid of tanking?

709
00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 7: Is there a real I mean, I hear all this

710
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 7: have the worst, you know, fourteen teams playing it.

711
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 8: Just whatever happened?

712
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 7: Just to pride, and I know this is a generational

713
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 7: type draft that we have coming up with anywhere upwards

714
00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 7: of ten to twelve players that could change your franchise.

715
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 8: I don't I don't have an answer, Theodore, because.

716
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 7: What what some of these teams are doing, it's it's

717
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 7: mind boggling.

718
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 2: But but if I look at the Spurs and Pistons

719
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: three years ago.

720
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 7: Now, and okay, they did exactly what these teams are.

721
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,759
Speaker 8: Doing, yet it changed. So it does.

722
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,279
Speaker 2: It does work. But what if I said everybody's got

723
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,720
Speaker 2: the same odds in the lottery.

724
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 8: That would change things? Then you wouldn't have it.

725
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, you wouldn't have it.

726
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 7: I mean, why should a team like you. I could

727
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 7: understand Indiana a little bit because of what happened to Halibert.

728
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 8: It is a gap year for them, and when you

729
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 8: lose your best air.

730
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 7: But the things that he saw, what Utah was doing

731
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 7: before Jaron Jackson had his surgery, not playing and fourth

732
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 7: quarters him and mark it in.

733
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 8: I mean, come on, man, come on, it's just it's bad.

734
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 7: It's bad for the game and the basketball guds never

735
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 7: they never reward you when you mess. When you mess

736
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 7: with them, it just doesn't work out that way.

737
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 2: He's here to fix tanking or the dunking contest.

738
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 7: The dunky would be easy if we just got name

739
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 7: guys to do it. I mean, that's an easy fix.

740
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 7: Guys's got to be willing to do it, which they won't.

741
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 7: And I hope this happens. And I know we're trying.

742
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 7: And when I say we meaning NBC, we're trying to

743
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 7: get a one on one competition for all start next year.

744
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 7: If they won't do the dunk contest because they don't

745
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 7: want to mess with their brand. You really think they

746
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 7: want to play one on one in a packed auditorium

747
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 7: with the potential of getting embarrassed one on one, but

748
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:04,280
Speaker 7: they won't do a dunk contest.

749
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 8: No, No, I hope.

750
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 4: I wonder if we brought back Horse.

751
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:12,399
Speaker 8: I would much.

752
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 7: I would pay money to watch s g a versus Aunt.

753
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 7: I would pay money to watch Wendy versus Jannis. I

754
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 7: would pay.

755
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 2: But we're not getting that. We're not going to get that.

756
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 2: Why not because the brands, everybody's so nervous about that.

757
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 8: What happened to old fashioned competition?

758
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 2: What happened is we're old I would go on the

759
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 2: floor right now for a loose ball right now.

760
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 8: They do that. They do that, I would need.

761
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: Help getting back up, but I'd go on the floor

762
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: after that loose ball, I'd be gritty.

763
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 8: They would come out with the wheels.

764
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: The Paul Piers, the Paul Piers. I'm wheel chair. All right,

765
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 2: we'll have fun there with the Nixon Cleveland. Don't they

766
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 2: play once a week? It's like, okay, see in San Antonio.

767
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:09,919
Speaker 4: Don't they play once a week?

768
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:16,319
