Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Greetings and welcome inside our three of The
Speaker 1: Dan Patrick Show here on Fox Sports Radio. Jason Smith
Speaker 1: and Doug gottlie in for Dan and the Danets today.
Speaker 1: Thanks to Denny Hamlin for stopping by with us last hour,
Speaker 1: really just and enlightening, a thought provoking a different kind
Speaker 1: of conversation we had with him as he talked about
Speaker 1: many of the different situations going on with NASCAR now
Speaker 1: President Trump's tweet from yesterday, the Confederate flag controversy where
Speaker 1: NASCAR is headed. You know, Doug, that's one of the
Speaker 1: things you know that I always loved about radio and
Speaker 1: certain things is that you get surprised constantly, not where
Speaker 1: I thought our conversation was going to go with him,
Speaker 1: you know, the museum conversation that we got into and
Speaker 1: you guys talking about it, but it's it's like I said,
Speaker 1: when you get to the enlightening aspect of things and
Speaker 1: you think this is how things is supposed to go
Speaker 1: in this country, it always surprises me. And you know what, listen,
Speaker 1: radio is the best place for stuff like that to
Speaker 1: come out. Doesn't come out in many other No, it
Speaker 1: doesn't you know, it's like, um, you know, I did
Speaker 1: Colin Show the day after the Drew Brees interview that
Speaker 1: he ended up having to apologize for. And I don't
Speaker 1: know you Just the one thing I still don't think
Speaker 1: we're there yet is you and I were getting We're
Speaker 1: pretty good at it, but is the ability for us
Speaker 1: to have an actual conversation about things? Right, it's we're
Speaker 1: in the and and I actually really understand many people
Speaker 1: who are protesting who want to be heard, like I
Speaker 1: want to be heard. We get it, you know, whether
Speaker 1: it's in a relationship, or whether it's at work, or
Speaker 1: whether it's in how your country is run or how
Speaker 1: your police treat you or where your tax money goes.
Speaker 1: Like you, you want to be heard, you feel you know,
Speaker 1: part of what we've been able to do with social media,
Speaker 1: you know, Instagram and selfies and whatever, is you know
Speaker 1: that that people can be made to feel more important
Speaker 1: than they really are or a bigger part of a
Speaker 1: discussion than they really are. Right, that's it started with
Speaker 1: message boards. Now it's with Twitter and Reddit, where you
Speaker 1: could you can be part of a discussion on Twitter
Speaker 1: where somebody who you like in respect or maybe you
Speaker 1: don't tweet something out and you can, you know, respond
Speaker 1: to them or quote tweet them and be part of
Speaker 1: their life in their world. We make people feel, mostly artificially,
Speaker 1: that they're more important than they actually are than they
Speaker 1: realize they're not actually that, or they're not being heard
Speaker 1: for what they're saying, and they react as such. But
Speaker 1: part of being heard as you also have to be
Speaker 1: a listener. You just do. You gotta be able to listen.
Speaker 1: And I think sometimes that that really is still missing well.
Speaker 1: And this is something that obviously we need to Shaun
Speaker 1: Jackson to subscribe to after what happened with him earlier today,
Speaker 1: I said, we have two big stories out of the
Speaker 1: NFL coming your way, and first one involves the Eagles
Speaker 1: wide out, who over the weekend put a couple of
Speaker 1: posts on social media that have him back racking. Now
Speaker 1: put one quote up on his Instagram account that he
Speaker 1: attributed to Adolf Hitler, in which it says that white
Speaker 1: Jews will blackmail and extort America. He also went on
Speaker 1: to quote from Louis Farrakhan, very controversial leader of the
Speaker 1: Nation of Islam who has been derided as being anti
Speaker 1: Semitic U. He went on to after he was getting
Speaker 1: a lot of blowback from this. Obviously, he said, listen,
Speaker 1: I have no hatred in my heart towards anyone. And he,
Speaker 1: you know, he puts some emojis up there saying, I'm
Speaker 1: you missed mother point of my message. Uh, Deshaun Jackson,
Speaker 1: you know we talk about it for many of us. Hey,
Speaker 1: it's time to listen. You heard that from Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: heard that from many other people. It's time for Deshaun
Speaker 1: Jackson to listen. Okay, let's let's realize that you quoted
Speaker 1: somebody who perpetrated a genocide. So let let's let this
Speaker 1: is where I want to shun Jackson as sit and
Speaker 1: say I need to listen. I need to listen. And
Speaker 1: because I got to understand that what I'm trying to
Speaker 1: put out there, I want to oh, Okay, now I
Speaker 1: get what went out there and why people think the
Speaker 1: way they maybe I start to think a little bit differently.
Speaker 1: He's a guy that needs to listen. Yeah, well, I
Speaker 1: mean you're not very smart. There's nothing you're going to
Speaker 1: convince me that a guy that posts that is particularly bright.
Speaker 1: I look, when you're when you're Jewish, you do have
Speaker 1: a tendency to run into not necessarily even anti Semitic thought,
Speaker 1: but uneducated on what Judaism actually is and actually believes.
Speaker 1: I mean, I could, I could tell you stories, many
Speaker 1: of which are not appropriate for radio. But do I
Speaker 1: think that makes Deshaun Jackson the worst human being on earth? No?
Speaker 1: It doesn't. But I do think it makes him somebody
Speaker 1: who is easily able to be manipulated. And it's again
Speaker 1: probably the downside to social media. I don't know where
Speaker 1: you got the Hitler quote. It's not a real quote.
Speaker 1: It's a fake quote, which is what flies around the internet.
Speaker 1: And you know, if if I was to I was
Speaker 1: going to see something that's a quote. And I'm sure
Speaker 1: I've made this mistake before with Facebook or whatever. You
Speaker 1: see something, well, okay, now you maybe Google search it
Speaker 1: and find out if it's a real quote. And oh yeah,
Speaker 1: by the way, if it's something that says the word
Speaker 1: you in it and it's clearly anti jew, you might
Speaker 1: want to actually take a breath and think twice before
Speaker 1: posting it. So I just he just strikes me as
Speaker 1: a dope. And I don't know, like I can you
Speaker 1: see you know the the you can't suspend people. I
Speaker 1: don't believe for what they think. It's for their actions.
Speaker 1: You know, it's one of one of the things. You're
Speaker 1: not going to change how every person thinks, but you can.
Speaker 1: You can prevent people from whether it's racism or or discrimination.
Speaker 1: You can't discriminate from who you hire or how you
Speaker 1: treat people, etc. So I don't it's good. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be very uncomfortable conversations for him today with Howie Roseman.
Speaker 1: He's gonna play dumb and act like he didn't know.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was fake. I didn't know that
Speaker 1: it was anti jew I was. I thought it was
Speaker 1: an inference to something else. Whatever. You know, Well, you
Speaker 1: can't say I didn't I didn't know it was fake.
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. You still wanted to attribute to quote to Hitler.
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's I mean, who does who
Speaker 1: honestly does that? I don't, Doug, I can't tell you
Speaker 1: who was Like who goes like you know what Hitler said? One?
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I don't know, Like probably time to
Speaker 1: not quote Hitler. I honestly asked, I would ask this question,
Speaker 1: do you do you know that Hitler ordered the murdering
Speaker 1: of six million Jews? Ten million people overall, like is
Speaker 1: even his own people? Like do you do you know that?
Speaker 1: So I would guess that de Sean Jackson doesn't know
Speaker 1: doesn't make it any better. But I would say a
Speaker 1: lot of this is just ignorance. And it also speaks
Speaker 1: to this. Black people can be racist too, Okay, black
Speaker 1: people can be homophobic too. Black people can be anti
Speaker 1: Semitic too, hit can. And my guess be that it's
Speaker 1: the there's the same percentage of of people and maybe
Speaker 1: more so. And sometimes people are made to feel this
Speaker 1: way because of how they're made to feel. Right, It's like,
Speaker 1: you know, women are paranoid over what a man's doing. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe that's because the woman's been cheated on repeatedly, right,
Speaker 1: like that that's actually a possibility. Um, black people don't
Speaker 1: trust white people, well, Matt, maybe because of how they've
Speaker 1: been treated by some white people. Or you know, we
Speaker 1: all have dad issues. Right, maybe that is how you
Speaker 1: parent is based upon the flaws of how your parent parented.
Speaker 1: So again, I'm not giving him a pass. I'm just
Speaker 1: telling you as a Jew, Yeah, it bothers me, It
Speaker 1: ticks me off. I'm glad that it exposes that Lewis
Speaker 1: Farrakon is not somebody that I would you start calling
Speaker 1: Louis Farrakon to a Jew and they're done. We shut down,
Speaker 1: We're done, We're not listen, he's anti semi. We're not
Speaker 1: having a conversation. Um, so I mean and and and
Speaker 1: what people don't know they're walking into. It's it's this
Speaker 1: is really this is a little bit like the Hong
Speaker 1: Kong thing for me. As people talk about the Palestinians. Again,
Speaker 1: I know too much because I've actually lived in Israel,
Speaker 1: I spent much time there. It's not just being Jewish,
Speaker 1: so you know, like, look the difference between things that
Speaker 1: happen here and things that happened there, or are perception of, Well,
Speaker 1: if you're for freedom for all black people, you should
Speaker 1: be freedom for all Palestinians. Like the Palestinians, the leadership
Speaker 1: doesn't want just freedom. They want all the Jews to
Speaker 1: be pushed into the sea. There's a difference there. So
Speaker 1: there's so many different levels to conversations which you might
Speaker 1: want to have, you might not want to have. I
Speaker 1: think de Sean Jackson showed himself to be a complete
Speaker 1: dope today. I'm sure there's gonna be a substantial backlash.
Speaker 1: It's not the it's not a smart thing that he's done.
Speaker 1: But I also think exposes either some of his real
Speaker 1: feelings or the fact that he's not smart enough to understand.
Speaker 1: You should never be quoting Hitler and probably not quoting
Speaker 1: Farakon in regards to the Jews. No, there is something that. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't know a lot. I want to pretend I'm
Speaker 1: one of the great minds of our generation. You know,
Speaker 1: certain times I think everything I say is so incredibly interesting.
Speaker 1: But I know that the two things don't do. Whether
Speaker 1: you're an athlete or anybody else. Don't compare anything to
Speaker 1: World War two or nine to eleven. Stay away from it.
Speaker 1: Just stay away. Compare it to other things if you
Speaker 1: want to get a point. But if you do that,
Speaker 1: it's not going to go well for you. It will.
Speaker 1: There's not one person that I've seen make that analogy
Speaker 1: where I could rather and go yeah, and I was right,
Speaker 1: and I may I walked away from that and everything
Speaker 1: was fine. No, those are two things to not make
Speaker 1: analogies too. Just stay away from them and buy in large.
Speaker 1: You know, you'll should be able to navigate things and
Speaker 1: navigate life. I really don't get it. I really don't.
Speaker 1: But one thing I didn't get and I get now
Speaker 1: is the importance of going to a liquor store if
Speaker 1: you want your next great NFL big story broken. As
Speaker 1: as I said, the two big stories today look to
Speaker 1: Sean Jackson. We into that that's developing a love More
Speaker 1: on that coming up in a few minutes. And Patrick
Speaker 1: Mahomes's contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. It was agreed
Speaker 1: on yesterday shortly after Doug and I got off the air.
Speaker 1: Here a new mega deal extension that could keep him
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs through twenty thirty one, could be his
Speaker 1: worth as much as five hundred and three million dollars. Now,
Speaker 1: before we get to the ins and out to this thing,
Speaker 1: this is why a liquor store is very important. A
Speaker 1: liquor store employee in Kansas City a day ago was
Speaker 1: the person who broke the story that Mahomes was signing
Speaker 1: a big contract extension. A woman named Katie Camlin, who
Speaker 1: was the manager of Plaza Liquors in Kansas City, tweeted
Speaker 1: out that a Chief's employee came into her store to
Speaker 1: buy a load of champagne for a big celebration. She
Speaker 1: said quote he said, there's a big signing today. He said,
Speaker 1: it's not Chris Jones, So my guess is it's a
Speaker 1: Mahomes deal. An hour later, Adam Schefter had the story, Hey,
Speaker 1: big contract coming for Patrick Mahomes. She tweeted out, oh blank,
Speaker 1: I scooped Schefter. Hey, please come buy your liquor for me,
Speaker 1: uh down here at Plaza Liquors in Kansas City. So,
Speaker 1: first of all, Duck, I love the fact that they
Speaker 1: had a conversation about Chris Jones. Right. Oh so Chris
Speaker 1: Jones as signing to mean that that that's so, that's
Speaker 1: so awesome that this was the first part of it,
Speaker 1: and then it became about Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. Um, I
Speaker 1: think it's fair. I think it's fabulous. I it's one
Speaker 1: of my favorite parts to Midwestern cities in their sports teams.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just so much more important there. It
Speaker 1: just is, you know that. And you know, maybe I
Speaker 1: I downplay, uh how people in Los Angeles if they
Speaker 1: know who the general managers and other front office people are.
Speaker 1: But I would guess that they don't, right, I would
Speaker 1: guess that Rob Polinko or Tom Telesco or you know,
Speaker 1: you you you pick what front office guy walks in
Speaker 1: to pay for his gas or to buy something from
Speaker 1: a liquor store, and people actually know who he is.
Speaker 1: In Indianapolis with the Colson, with the Pacers, in Kansas
Speaker 1: City with the Chiefs, in Oklahoma City with the Thunder,
Speaker 1: like in these places, the professional sports team is everything,
Speaker 1: or the college sports team is everything and something I
Speaker 1: actually means one of my favorites. It was one of
Speaker 1: the reasons that I wanted to get away to go
Speaker 1: to college. I grew up in southern California and you
Speaker 1: could beat There's play of guys that are great players
Speaker 1: at USC and UCLA that people don't now look the
Speaker 1: all time greats obviously the Liners, the Carson Palmer's, the
Speaker 1: Reggie Bushes. Um, you know, you go back even previous
Speaker 1: generations and everybody knows who those guys were, but um,
Speaker 1: it's not the same. And so that's what it strikes
Speaker 1: me about Kansas City, which is it's the closest thing
Speaker 1: to a college town that anybody can can have. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's also turned Kansas City now into even more
Speaker 1: of a heritage franchise in the NFL. Like look like
Speaker 1: when we talk about who are the franchises that that
Speaker 1: that moved the needle. Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots. Right, Patriots weren't
Speaker 1: always a move the needle franchise, even though they were
Speaker 1: in Boston. They were a team that Look, how much
Speaker 1: do we talk about the Patriots before the year two thousand,
Speaker 1: hardly at all. Right, they got to the Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: they got there one, They get there once every twelve
Speaker 1: or thirteen years. Okay, great, But now the Patriots with
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick are that team just like the Dallas Cowboys,
Speaker 1: just like the Pittsburgh Steelers. And now the Chiefs have
Speaker 1: become that because now they're gonna be that part of
Speaker 1: the conversation for the next decade or allegedly most of it,
Speaker 1: having Patrick Mahomes because the guy's twenty four years old,
Speaker 1: He's got a Super Bowl, he could get two or
Speaker 1: three more because he is that good. And suddenly the
Speaker 1: Chiefs are becoming the new Patriots in that Now, when
Speaker 1: you talk about teams that that that that that move
Speaker 1: the needle and influential teams and coaches and everything else,
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are going to be that team now because
Speaker 1: of locking up Patrick Mahomes and having him for as
Speaker 1: long as they're gonna have yep. Look, the one thing
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs thing that's a bit interesting to me
Speaker 1: is it's a little bit long, and it's a little
Speaker 1: bit light on money early. Now he's going to get
Speaker 1: a ton of money once this thing becomes real. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like one hundred and four million or something in
Speaker 1: the first fifteen months or whatever of the the contract
Speaker 1: becomes real. But it's only sixty three million, I guess
Speaker 1: over the first three years. And that equates to what
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater is making. And Teddy Bridgewater was a free agent.
Speaker 1: And as much as we can say, hey, Pat Mahomes
Speaker 1: was still under contract for two years, let's just be honest.
Speaker 1: The fact that you kind of slow roll into the
Speaker 1: contract is very very team friendly, very team friendly, and
Speaker 1: being team friendly is a good thing. It does speak
Speaker 1: to how he loves Kansas City. He loves playing for
Speaker 1: Andy Reid. The whole thing is and I think you
Speaker 1: know the length of it. The size of it is
Speaker 1: to help Lee Steinberg outright and for the chief to
Speaker 1: have his rights essentially forever. And Patrick Mahomes makes plenty
Speaker 1: of money, money that he'll never be able to spend,
Speaker 1: but it's honestly not as much as he could have gotten,
Speaker 1: especially or gotten a shorter term deal because salaries, especially
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks, aren't going down, and he has a skill
Speaker 1: set to which he should be great for a long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they'll wind Look at some point, they'll wind up having
Speaker 1: to renegotiate it because it'll get to the more sex. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is so underpaid. Now. Look he's only making
Speaker 1: forty million a year. Look at some of the exacts.
Speaker 1: Look at Sam Dartle's contract. He makes fifty eight million
Speaker 1: dollars a year. So that'll wind up getting renegotiated, you know.
Speaker 1: To me, the big thing is that I always thought
Speaker 1: this is the way quarterback contracts are gonna go down.
Speaker 1: Here's Kirk Cousins who got three years from the Vikings
Speaker 1: and he got every dollar guaranteed right the first big
Speaker 1: contract he signed. I thought, Okay, this is the way
Speaker 1: things are going to go. Now every quarterback is gonna
Speaker 1: say no, no, no, it's going to be a contract three,
Speaker 1: four or five years. But you are guaranteeing me every
Speaker 1: cent of this money. And that's what I thought it
Speaker 1: was going to be. I said when when I heard
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes all, I'm like, Okay, he's gonna get you know,
Speaker 1: forty some fid million dollars, he's to get two hundred
Speaker 1: million for the next five years, something like that. And
Speaker 1: instead I saw this with not obviously the contracts, not
Speaker 1: everything is guaranteed. You're gonna see renegotiating there. But I
Speaker 1: was surprised that this was the contract. I thought for
Speaker 1: sure it would be tons of money guaranteed over a
Speaker 1: short period of time. It turned out to be the
Speaker 1: exact opposite, almost like this is a throwback deal to
Speaker 1: a deal you know, we we we had gotten you know,
Speaker 1: five and seven years ago from the top rated quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Here's a ten year deal for Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: You know, here's a you know, here's here's a big
Speaker 1: here's a big, long deal for another quarterback. And it's
Speaker 1: almost like this is a throwback to another era. Here's
Speaker 1: ten years and four hundred five hundred million with with
Speaker 1: different things guaranteed and potential renegotiation at some point. Yeah, yeah, um,
Speaker 1: it's it's I look, it's gonna be interesting. There wasn't
Speaker 1: an amount, and you tell me if I'm wrong. It
Speaker 1: wasn't an amount which they could say you pay Pat
Speaker 1: Mahomes like, that's too much. Yeah, yeah, right. The question
Speaker 1: is question is will they be able to have a
Speaker 1: very young team to return twenty of twenty two starters.
Speaker 1: Chris Jones right now says he won't play less he
Speaker 1: gets a new contract. Chris Jones still under contract, so
Speaker 1: we'll see what it does to the rest of the roster.
Speaker 1: But Pat Mahomes is stud He feels to me like
Speaker 1: the football version of Steph Curry on so many different levels.
Speaker 1: Now he's rewarded with that sort of contract and we'll
Speaker 1: see if Kansas City can make this into a dynasty.
Speaker 1: The last two years, it's felt like the beginning, but
Speaker 1: we've seen these type of things start with such a
Speaker 1: flare before and then flame out. We've only seen one
Speaker 1: real Patriots and that hasn't been replicated in terms of
Speaker 1: consistency of success. I guess with the exception of the
Speaker 1: six year run for Andy Reid in Philadelphia, Twitter Aunt,
Speaker 1: how about a Fresca Doug at Gottlieb Show, Jason Smith,
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Dan Nets Today.
Speaker 1: We'll have more on these stories coming up next. What's
Speaker 1: the reaction around the league starting to weigh in onto
Speaker 1: Seawan Jackson on Patrick Mahomes Keep it right here. This
Speaker 1: is Fox Sports Radio. Be sure to catch the live
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am
Speaker 1: Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio app Fox Sports Radio. It is The Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. Jason Smith and Doug Gottlieb in for Dan
Speaker 1: and the Dan Netts Today. Two big stories out of
Speaker 1: the National Football League and more to get to we
Speaker 1: have to Sean Jackson his incendiary posts on social media.
Speaker 1: We have the Patrick Mahomes contract. We have the NFL
Speaker 1: wondering what kind of plan that the players wonder what
Speaker 1: kind of plan the NFL has for the coronavirus and
Speaker 1: joining us now on the hotline to break it all down.
Speaker 1: Senior NFL reporter with Yahoo Sports, It's Charles Robinson. You
Speaker 1: can follow him on Twitter at Charles Robinson or I
Speaker 1: assume Charles our NFL insiders gonna really start hanging out
Speaker 1: outside liquor stores now, because that's really where all the
Speaker 1: big scoops are coming in now after Patrick Mahomes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if you, if you, this gives a perfect snapshot of
Speaker 1: how difficult it is now. I remember one time, Adam
Speaker 1: Scheffs are saying, like, you know how difficult it is,
Speaker 1: you know nowadays because breaking news comes from literally everywhere
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Like it's unlike any other sport where
Speaker 1: you cannot predict where people are gonna get their news from. Because,
Speaker 1: as you said, you could be in a liquor store
Speaker 1: people you know, drop in to buy six bottles of dompie.
Speaker 1: Next thing you know, you know, Pat Mahomes is getting
Speaker 1: the big extension and everybody else's uh is scooped on it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was. It was pretty funny that the
Speaker 1: liquor store employed, although I will say this that was
Speaker 1: a gas. It wasn't though, but they didn't break it.
Speaker 1: We we even even at Yahoo we wrote, oh the
Speaker 1: liquor store employed broke. They didn't I break it. They
Speaker 1: guessed it. Come on, I could guess it. I could
Speaker 1: have guess guess what. I broke the Pat Mahomes story
Speaker 1: six months ago when I said they're gonna sign them
Speaker 1: doing an extension. Um, okay, what do you think of
Speaker 1: the actual deal? Um? I say, I actually, look when
Speaker 1: you when you look at the whole the totality of it,
Speaker 1: it's a ton of money. The salaries all vest like
Speaker 1: a year before the base salaries. I mean, look, it's
Speaker 1: a it's a it is a strong deal. But I
Speaker 1: the criticism I understand is that it's not tied to
Speaker 1: the salary cap, you know, percentage. And the reason why
Speaker 1: you see people who are being critical of it is
Speaker 1: because the agent community is extremely critical of it. And
Speaker 1: that's because everyone has been waiting now for a while,
Speaker 1: a couple of years for the quarterback who has the
Speaker 1: right leverage to then get his deal signed. You know,
Speaker 1: it tied to a percentage of the salary cap. And
Speaker 1: this this was a guy like if anyone was going
Speaker 1: to do it, there was a time where we saw
Speaker 1: maybe Aaron Rodgers was the one who was going to
Speaker 1: accomplish it. They took a swing at that trying to
Speaker 1: get it tied to the salary cap, and the Packers
Speaker 1: were just not having it was never gonna happen during
Speaker 1: the Rodgers extension talks and so it sort of was
Speaker 1: like all right, well when Holmes comes up, and then
Speaker 1: especially after the Super Bowl, was like, all right, he's
Speaker 1: going to break the wall, Like for sure he'll be
Speaker 1: the guy who gets the quarterback deal. Side. You know,
Speaker 1: you know, tied to fifteen percent of the cap or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And then when he didn't, you know,
Speaker 1: it didn't happen that then today Asian community becomes the
Speaker 1: big l because it's like, okay, one is either either
Speaker 1: a club is going to have to make a massive
Speaker 1: mistake with a lesser player, but the guy who had
Speaker 1: the most leverage in the world didn't land the deal
Speaker 1: that could have changed quarterback contracts forever. And so you know,
Speaker 1: I to me, I kind of understood how it was
Speaker 1: going to be reflected on in the agent community, just
Speaker 1: because Pat Mahomes is a guy that frankly over ten
Speaker 1: years may be worth a heck of a lot more
Speaker 1: than half a billion dollars in salary to the Kansas
Speaker 1: City chiefs. Now that said, you know, for it to
Speaker 1: be signed, now that's a lot of money that's going
Speaker 1: to go in the guy's pocket. He's gonna make a
Speaker 1: ton of money outside of you know, his his base,
Speaker 1: you know NFL deal, And you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: get it. You know, he's getting a ton of money
Speaker 1: up up front of me. We're talking about I think
Speaker 1: it's like one hundred and forty million dollars um. You know,
Speaker 1: that's going to roll right up to the front of
Speaker 1: the deal for him and invested wisely. Bat Mall is
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a billionaire before this is all over. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy. Um, the twelve years is really long.
Speaker 1: That that feels like, uh that that that's the part
Speaker 1: that I've been told by NFL people like I wouldn't
Speaker 1: done a twelve year deal. Um, yeah, is that is that?
Speaker 1: That is that Lee Steinberg's win so he can say
Speaker 1: he's got the biggest deal ever and and this is
Speaker 1: I'm Lee Steinberg. I'm back. It's Look, you can't discount
Speaker 1: Pat mahomes roll in the okay, Like I you know,
Speaker 1: people are kind of banging on, Hey, it's a long
Speaker 1: term deal. I remember. Okay, So when Tyron Smith cut
Speaker 1: a ten year deal with the Dallas Cowboys, okay as
Speaker 1: a left tackle, it was a bad deal. Like it
Speaker 1: was a bad deal because you're like, this dude's gonna
Speaker 1: be worth so much more than the ten year I don't.
Speaker 1: I think it's like one hundred and twenty million dollars
Speaker 1: that he signed for. And at the time it was
Speaker 1: a bank or like it was like, wow, it's a
Speaker 1: huge contract for a left tackle. But you knew over
Speaker 1: the length of the deal, this guy's gonna far outpace
Speaker 1: the money in this contract because he's just going to
Speaker 1: be a better player. Chances are Pat Mahomes, if if
Speaker 1: what we've seen in the snapshot of the last two
Speaker 1: years is where he's going, he's gonna far outpace it.
Speaker 1: I think part of it is Lee Steinberg, you know,
Speaker 1: and Chris Cabott doing the deal that worked for the team,
Speaker 1: worked for their purposes, you know, as agents. But at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, Pat Mahomes is the one
Speaker 1: who signs off on it. Like the kid absolutely played,
Speaker 1: you know, played a part in this deal. And you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of asked people around the organization about him
Speaker 1: and they're like, you know, he he wanted this, like
Speaker 1: this was the kind of deal that he wanted. He
Speaker 1: wanted that security, and he liked where the number was,
Speaker 1: and you know, it's something that that made sense to
Speaker 1: both sides. But you're right, I mean, really ten twelve years,
Speaker 1: I mean, when you look at the totality of the
Speaker 1: tack on aspect of it is a monumental win I
Speaker 1: think for the Chiefs. And I will say this about
Speaker 1: the salary cap deal too. You know, no one knows
Speaker 1: that the caps is gonna look like next year, you know,
Speaker 1: given what's going on with the NFL and the lost
Speaker 1: revenues that are probably going to happen. So I guess technically,
Speaker 1: if you have a cap percentage deal and the cap
Speaker 1: rolls back next year, that could significantly impact the next
Speaker 1: you know, five to six seven caps in a row
Speaker 1: building on each other. So it's it's an interesting deal.
Speaker 1: But I think the Chiefs did the best they possibly
Speaker 1: could here, and I think, look, we're really going to
Speaker 1: complain about, you know, somebody signing a five hundred million
Speaker 1: dollar contract. I mean that's a massive amount of money
Speaker 1: for a guy who can do a lot of work
Speaker 1: with it. Now, no, no, no question. Okay, you mentioned
Speaker 1: he's getting getting all that money that escrow account becomes
Speaker 1: real upfront. But in terms of the Chiefs actual cash
Speaker 1: off their salary cap, it's not a ton in the
Speaker 1: first couple of years. So I'm Chris Jones, I go
Speaker 1: in today, right like, I know you have money the
Speaker 1: next couple of years. They have returned twenty of twenty
Speaker 1: two starters. How can they best position themselves for when
Speaker 1: that money does hit the salary cap in three years.
Speaker 1: Draft well, like, I don't there's no the problem of
Speaker 1: the deal, of this magnitude. Anytime you sign a quarterback
Speaker 1: to what ends up being a max deal, you you
Speaker 1: gotta kill it in the draft because you're gonna have
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose pieces. Like it's just the reality. And yeah,
Speaker 1: if I'm Chris Jones, I am in the parking lot
Speaker 1: right now basically saying like, Okay, if there's a time
Speaker 1: to do this, let's get it squared away right now.
Speaker 1: But you know, there's no way around every team that
Speaker 1: you talked to. It's such a double edge. I remember
Speaker 1: when the Russell Wilson stuff came up about hey, maybe
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson potentially getting traded to the Browns for the
Speaker 1: number one overall pick when Baker went and and you know,
Speaker 1: those were very loose conversations that did happen between John
Speaker 1: Schneider and John Dorsey. And I I asked someone in
Speaker 1: the Browns organization, like, why do you think that the
Speaker 1: you know, the Seahawks would have ever even thought about
Speaker 1: entertaining even even a loose conversation over beers. And he
Speaker 1: said to me, look, when you when you sign a
Speaker 1: quarterback to a big deal, which is where Russ was
Speaker 1: going at that time. You start to do the mass
Speaker 1: in your head and go, okay, well, if we move Russ,
Speaker 1: there are like four defensive players that are stars right
Speaker 1: now that we could start to get contracts extensions done
Speaker 1: with them right now. And you know, Pat's going to
Speaker 1: put a pinch on the roster like there's no doubt,
Speaker 1: and they're going to peel away. There's a ton of
Speaker 1: talent there and if anything, this is probably a win
Speaker 1: for a lot of other NFL teams because you know,
Speaker 1: there's free agents of magnitude on that team that are
Speaker 1: going to end up having to be you know, let
Speaker 1: go down the line. Some of the young guys that
Speaker 1: are stars right now, other teams are going to get
Speaker 1: a shot at them. A free agency senior NFL reporter
Speaker 1: for y'all who was sports and insider Charles Robinson with
Speaker 1: us here on the Dan Patrick Show, Jason Smith and
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb in for Dan and the Dan Netts. Now
Speaker 1: the other big story today. Charles obviously to Seawan Jackson,
Speaker 1: who was under damage control right now after posting an
Speaker 1: anti Semitic quote he attributed to Adolf Hitler, also expressing
Speaker 1: his admiration for Lewis Farrakhan, whom the Anti Defamation League
Speaker 1: is identified as anti Semitic. What's your reaction after seeing
Speaker 1: this story and have and seeing it break this morning.
Speaker 1: I mean, the Eagles are in tough spot because they
Speaker 1: kept Riley Cooper. You know, years back when Riley Cooper
Speaker 1: was caught on you know, a video using a racial
Speaker 1: term that frankly should have had Riley Cooper cut in
Speaker 1: two minutes, And if it happened today, he would be
Speaker 1: cut in two minutes. This is there are a lot
Speaker 1: of people that are looking at this right now, and
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's executives, you know, I'm sure there
Speaker 1: are some coaches who are looking at this. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of people on the outside or say, hey, this
Speaker 1: is textbook anti semitism, and that pretty clear that this
Speaker 1: is someone who should be cut now. Like whether he
Speaker 1: tries to backtrack or I don't, I don't know. Look,
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't a quote from Adolph Hitler, if
Speaker 1: you thought it was, and you think that that's you know,
Speaker 1: the right person to carry the message that you want
Speaker 1: to convey, that's gonna get you cut in most places.
Speaker 1: So you know, Jeff Lurie, I went, you know, and
Speaker 1: spoke to someone inside the Eagles and I said, hey,
Speaker 1: when Riley Cooper was kept, I said, who ultimately made
Speaker 1: that decision? And he said, look, it was Lurry like
Speaker 1: Lury had the final call and keeping Cooper, Lurie's going
Speaker 1: to have the final call here. And he's frankly, you know,
Speaker 1: and this is me talking here. I think he's a
Speaker 1: little bit boxed in because if you keep him, it
Speaker 1: shows that, hey, you're you're consistent. You know, you gave
Speaker 1: Riley Cooper the opportunity to work his way out of
Speaker 1: something that was really bad. So you're giving DeShawn Jackson
Speaker 1: that same opportunity. But times have changed. Riley Cooper does
Speaker 1: what he did back then, Now he's cut in two minutes.
Speaker 1: And and what DeShawn Jackson did? You know, the terminology,
Speaker 1: how he approached it, the fact that he sort of
Speaker 1: tried to explain it in terms that I don't think
Speaker 1: make a lot of sense. It's it's gonna be rough
Speaker 1: for him. And this is a little bit of a
Speaker 1: litmus test about you know, I guess what teams find
Speaker 1: acceptable and what they don't. And there are going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of people I think that are gonna
Speaker 1: be upset regardless whatever decision the Eagles make on this
Speaker 1: is almost impossible for everybody to be happy. Jeff Lawyer's Jewish,
Speaker 1: isn't he? I mean, I know Howry Roseman is. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's aye, you know. And like Deshaun Jackson, I mean
Speaker 1: just in play well obviously can still run, always hurt.
Speaker 1: But like they brought him back even though you know,
Speaker 1: his reputation for who he hung with off the field,
Speaker 1: you know, was was one of the reasons they got
Speaker 1: rid of him the first time around. So um, and
Speaker 1: I know that that was Chip's regime and whatever, but
Speaker 1: still it is, it is fascinating. Um. I just it
Speaker 1: strikes me as one of the dumber things ever done
Speaker 1: by human being on so many levels, on so many levels. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just I mean, like the problem is, it's it
Speaker 1: brings into focus, you know, Um, a lot of this
Speaker 1: talks that we're having right now about racism, what's acceptable,
Speaker 1: what's not, you know, what's you know, some people call
Speaker 1: it a cancel culture, but you know what, you know,
Speaker 1: certain people say certain things are going to get cut
Speaker 1: right away, and this is This is sort of a
Speaker 1: weird litmus test about, hey, is it acceptable for some
Speaker 1: people to say some things rather than other people to
Speaker 1: say some things. It's like it's just sort of like
Speaker 1: is your standard black or white? You know, and you know,
Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, or is there gray?
Speaker 1: And you know, if there's gray there, then you've got
Speaker 1: to explain what that gray is and exactly how that works.
Speaker 1: You can fall them on Twitter at Charles Robinson, That
Speaker 1: is at Charles Robinson, Senior NFL reporter, an insider for
Speaker 1: y'all who Charles has always Thanks for taking out some
Speaker 1: time with us here this morning. Appreciate it. We'll talk
Speaker 1: to you soon, all right, take care of guys. All right,
Speaker 1: So what do you what do you what do you
Speaker 1: think the Eagles did? I think they're going to have
Speaker 1: to cut them. I think they're going to have to
Speaker 1: cut them because I understand the first thing that people
Speaker 1: are going to say is you kept Riley Cooper. I
Speaker 1: get it. I get it with that, because that's going
Speaker 1: to Already Riley Cooper is trending on Twitter with along
Speaker 1: with DeShawn Jackson. But it's a different world than it
Speaker 1: was three years ago. As Charles said, you can't seem
Speaker 1: now willing to say, well, this type of racism we
Speaker 1: can try to look at, or this type of racism
Speaker 1: we can we can tolerate because we kept a guy
Speaker 1: before for saying it. I mean, once you get to
Speaker 1: that point where you're tolerating it, it's it. You get
Speaker 1: down that slippery slope of okay, well, then there's acceptable
Speaker 1: forms of racism. I think the Eagles are gonna have
Speaker 1: no choice but to cut him. I really don't. I
Speaker 1: don't see how DeShawn Jackson survives this or it may
Speaker 1: take a little bit of time, and maybe the strategy
Speaker 1: is going to be, let's get out there publicly, and
Speaker 1: Jeff Lurie, you know that, you know you wind up
Speaker 1: meeting with DeShawn Jackson. Here he is. We're setting things
Speaker 1: up for him where he's gonna go meet with people
Speaker 1: and talk about it. But in the end, I can't
Speaker 1: see how with the with with the way we are
Speaker 1: now in this country, as far as not tolerating racism
Speaker 1: and ending it, that he still winds up with a
Speaker 1: job after this is all said and done. Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll cut him right away, you know,
Speaker 1: you may let it play out and then cut him later.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like obviously, if he's if he's still
Speaker 1: on a team by end of business today, then you
Speaker 1: probably you know, somebody else sold napalm, somebody elseo implode
Speaker 1: between now and when the football season starts whatever, if
Speaker 1: we eventually even have a football season. Who knows. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. And I agree, I actually totally agree
Speaker 1: with you in terms of it's that we're a different place.
Speaker 1: But Riley Cooper, there is a video of him dropping
Speaker 1: endbombs talking about his own teammates on stage at a
Speaker 1: Kenny Chesney concert like that was. But look here, here's
Speaker 1: the here's the thing to remember. Okay, when that happened,
Speaker 1: that was and even though it was Howie Roseman's call,
Speaker 1: that was one of the death knells to Chip Kelly
Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, in that locker room, they won twenty games
Speaker 1: his first two years. And but Chip's different and Chip
Speaker 1: got rid of a couple of guys that speaking of
Speaker 1: which you know Deshan Jackson, who he thought were bad guys,
Speaker 1: and they they he wanted to And that's the crazy
Speaker 1: thing about the Howie Roseman thing is like Howie Roseman
Speaker 1: when he got he when he returned to power, he
Speaker 1: brought back a lot of the guys that Chip had
Speaker 1: gotten rid of, or he empowered people that Chip had
Speaker 1: taken away their power because that's what Chip had done.
Speaker 1: And Deshan Jackson is just one of those guys. And
Speaker 1: then to kind of spit in his face and tweet
Speaker 1: the and put this on Instagram, you know, just is
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing ever. It's like asking to be cut. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I I really I do. I always I always want
Speaker 1: to see a way forward, right and and it's and
Speaker 1: it's not just everything is is this or this? But
Speaker 1: if if you keep DeShawn Jackson, let's just play this
Speaker 1: out right, say the Eagles aside to keep DeShawn Jackson. Suddenly,
Speaker 1: now this becomes bigger than football. And you know that
Speaker 1: you've seen President Trump weigh in on NASCAR and Redskins
Speaker 1: and the Indians and everything else past few days. And
Speaker 1: it may not be President Trump. It will be other
Speaker 1: people who are gonna want to and this will get
Speaker 1: bigger than football, and it will be how does he's
Speaker 1: have a job when when we're talking about all the
Speaker 1: different things we're trying to do to fight racism in
Speaker 1: this country. Where he puts out this tweet and talking
Speaker 1: and and freely attributing the quote that he thinks to
Speaker 1: Adolf Hitler, doesn't matter whether he was wrong with or not.
Speaker 1: He want he attributed a quote he thought was from Hitler.
Speaker 1: It's not like, oh, I thought it was from somebody
Speaker 1: else it turned out to be Adolf Hitler. No, I
Speaker 1: thought it was Hitler when I was and to be
Speaker 1: able to have that out there, this gets bigger than that.
Speaker 1: And I know the Eagles will probably try to wait
Speaker 1: it out and see which way the wind blows and say, well,
Speaker 1: how big of a controversy this is going to be
Speaker 1: If he's on the team, This will get bigger than football.
Speaker 1: They're gonna say, okay, now it's out. Now it's out
Speaker 1: of control. So that's why, that's why I really can't
Speaker 1: expect to see him still a member of the Eagles
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done. Pass us that God
Speaker 1: be tough tit around. How about a fresca Doug at
Speaker 1: Gottleib Show, Jason Smith, Doug gottlid in for Dan and
Speaker 1: the Dan Nets. Today certainly not the day we expected
Speaker 1: coming in, but some big stories breaking over the course
Speaker 1: of the past couple of hours. Coming up next, we're
Speaker 1: gonna go back into the NBA bubble. Doug has a
Speaker 1: great conspiracy theory. I completely agree with it. And also,
Speaker 1: one team's chance is to win the NBA title just
Speaker 1: got a little bit better at Lakers. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that coming up next right here. Fox Sports Radio. Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

Speaker 1: com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen
Speaker 1: live Fox Sports Radio, The Dan Patrick Show, Jason Smith
Speaker 1: and Doug Gottlieb in for Dan Patrick today, and well,
Speaker 1: some guys are playing basketball, some guys aren't. As the
Speaker 1: NBA bubble continues to get a little bit hotter as
Speaker 1: players have decided to report or not report. Doug has
Speaker 1: a great conspiracy theory I'm so on board with. We're
Speaker 1: gonna get to coming up in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 1: But the big news this morning, Doug, we had two
Speaker 1: players make their big decisions about resuming the season in Orlando,
Speaker 1: Dwight Howard, who Rick Buker told us yesterday. Look, the
Speaker 1: Lakers have to have if they're going to win the
Speaker 1: title has decided to play. He's going to join the
Speaker 1: Lakers and donate money from the restart as much as
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand dollars. Meanwhile, Bradley Beale has decided to
Speaker 1: opt out of returning to the bubble for the resumption
Speaker 1: of the season. What do you make of these two
Speaker 1: stories here? Because I look at Dwight Howard and I go, hey,
Speaker 1: the Lakers are about as set as they're gonna be,
Speaker 1: and you know, getting Howard back, you know, the layoff
Speaker 1: with Lebron and being able to recharge, I think the
Speaker 1: Lakers are going to be as just a good spot
Speaker 1: to win to day as they were before the coronavirus.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna overthink this thing and over talk
Speaker 1: this thing. Here's basically what's happened. Here's basically what's happening.
Speaker 1: The teams that have no chance. Okay, they don't really
Speaker 1: want their best players to absolutely play and or you know,
Speaker 1: like Victor Oladipo, they don't really necessarily want him to play,
Speaker 1: but they don't want the league to know that they're
Speaker 1: shutting it down because especially now that the Pacers are
Speaker 1: actually a playoff team, the Wizards are not are not.
Speaker 1: But so for the Wizards, like, look, he tried to
Speaker 1: get back to get ready or whatever, they don't really
Speaker 1: want him going down there. That they're trying to hold
Speaker 1: on to brad Bo or if they trade brad BeO,
Speaker 1: maintain his proper amount of trade value. The last thing
Speaker 1: they want is to put him in you know, a
Speaker 1: hotel like a like a t bone Steak with all
Speaker 1: those wolves and all that tampering that's going to go on, right,
Speaker 1: But they have to make it seem like we're really
Speaker 1: trying to get the guys back and get ready, because
Speaker 1: they're really going down there to just take some ls
Speaker 1: and be exhibition games for the real playoff teams, for
Speaker 1: the four or five teams that have a chance to
Speaker 1: win the whole thing. So that's what's really going on
Speaker 1: with Oladipo, with brad Bo and some of these other guys.
Speaker 1: I believe playoff team non playoff team if you don't
Speaker 1: have a chance or for a star player, not all in.
Speaker 1: I think that's some of it. The Dwight Howard, I
Speaker 1: think the mother of one of his kids died from COVID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I actually like what Dwight Howard's doing, Like you know,
Speaker 1: she assumed me she had a seizure, wasn't That's right,
Speaker 1: My bad, she had a seizure. It wasn't COVID. So
Speaker 1: he's reconnected with one of his children from a previous relationship,
Speaker 1: and he's donating all his money, all of his money
Speaker 1: to a cause to kind of help the cause, which
Speaker 1: I look for Dwight Howard. This is big a chance
Speaker 1: to be a part of a championship team. I know
Speaker 1: he said he was still a champion and when they
Speaker 1: lost in Houston, whatever, that was weird. And to do
Speaker 1: so with the Lakers life coming full circle. You know.
Speaker 1: Obviously his first run in with with Kobe wasn't great.
Speaker 1: But now the year that Kobe dies just part of
Speaker 1: the craziness of twenty and twenty which people have already forgotten.
Speaker 1: Like all of those things are interesting. But I think
Speaker 1: that the reason he's coming back and playing is because
Speaker 1: they can win a championship, and the reason that Brad
Speaker 1: Beal's not is because they're not even gonna make the playoffs. Yeah. Look,
Speaker 1: we talked about this yesterday that many teams are going
Speaker 1: to show up up with one foot in, one foot out.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be ready to go. And you know when
Speaker 1: I hear Yannis say, boy, it's gonna be so much
Speaker 1: tougher to win, I get that part of it, because, hey,
Speaker 1: you're dealing with circumstances you've never had to deal with before.
Speaker 1: You're dealing with moving into a bubble and trying to
Speaker 1: play a court where there's gonna be no fans, and
Speaker 1: the games are gonna be earlier in the day. It's
Speaker 1: gonna be insane. But at the same time, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have two thirds of the league just saying, hey, we're
Speaker 1: ready to go home. You know. So the teams that
Speaker 1: can win that are gonna be the ones that no
Speaker 1: they can win are the top three and four seeds.
Speaker 1: You know, maybe if you know, look the Raptors think, hey,
Speaker 1: this could be our time to the rockets. But it's
Speaker 1: not like a normal playoff where one three you're gonna
Speaker 1: get everything from everybody. And even though you know those
Speaker 1: those two seven matchups are gonna be awesome, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be tough, and those three six match you're gonna be tough. No,
Speaker 1: you're gonna see these teams are gonna want to say,
Speaker 1: all right, we're ready to be done, and we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're gonna be down to the cream of the crop
Speaker 1: pretty easily. And I think you're gonna see some pretty
Speaker 1: easy series going on before you get to the conference
Speaker 1: finals and moving on well and again, you know, you
Speaker 1: get up three games to none and that fourth game
Speaker 1: is we they used to do one you know, one
Speaker 1: two three cancoon like now it's one two three home
Speaker 1: mat Have you been down there for two months? But look,
Speaker 1: my theory or my hypotheses is that once you start
Speaker 1: to get deep into the playoffs, they're not testing unless
Speaker 1: you have some serious symptoms. They're just not the last
Speaker 1: thing they want. And no one is No one who
Speaker 1: can play is going to say there is going to
Speaker 1: report to the NBA that they're really really sick because
Speaker 1: they don't want to get tested. That's that's a that's
Speaker 1: a guess. Oh I completely agree, I can play. They'll
Speaker 1: test all the way through. But eventually we get to
Speaker 1: a point where, boy, what does it look like if
Speaker 1: suddenly if Lebron James has to sit, or Janis has
Speaker 1: to sit, or Kawhi has to sit, and then then
Speaker 1: you're getting into asterisk playoffs. You know, that's the one
Speaker 1: thing you want it to be a real playoff and
Speaker 1: the last thing you want to say, well, the Clippers
Speaker 1: had to play their last four games the West Finals
Speaker 1: without Kauhi, of course it would have went differently. As
Speaker 1: long as everybody has, you know, negative tests all the
Speaker 1: way through, the NBA needs to have a bit of
Speaker 1: that plausible deniability where they can say, well, we tested
Speaker 1: everybody through and you know, we didn't know unless something
Speaker 1: crazy happens, and you can see it where a story
Speaker 1: is broken that so and so really was asymptomatic and
Speaker 1: was allowed to play, which would look awful for the NBA. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I agree. I can completely see that because I can
Speaker 1: see the NBA thinking we can control everything. We're in
Speaker 1: a bubble. This is not where it is normally, where
Speaker 1: everybody is scattered across the country and trying to control things.
Speaker 1: You know, conspiracy theory is always tougher the more things
Speaker 1: you have to control. We're controlling less of it because
Speaker 1: we're all in the bubble. I mean, Adam Silver's leaving
Speaker 1: and coming back, but everybody else is all in the
Speaker 1: bubble there going on. So I can completely see this happening. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I eat. So we agree that, like like the idea
Speaker 1: of hey, let's get ready for the conference finals and
Speaker 1: Lebron James and Kawhi Leonard are out due to COVID
Speaker 1: nineteen that that that doesn't happen, So anything change your
Speaker 1: mind for the the really quick and the last little
Speaker 1: bit of time we have here. No no, no no, I
Speaker 1: was Gonnaways gonna say Lakers, Clippers, Bucks winning one of
Speaker 1: those teams winning the ABA title. Anybody outside of that
Speaker 1: you see? No No. I mean, like, look, I think
Speaker 1: there are teams that could be a nuisance. I just
Speaker 1: it's going to be very different, and guys are going
Speaker 1: to get worn down, and I don't think their production
Speaker 1: level is going to be the same as it normally
Speaker 1: would be, because you know, three months in a hotel,
Speaker 1: you're not the same guy. Twitter at how about a fresca?
Speaker 1: Doug at Gottlieb show, both of us back at it
Speaker 1: later on today Doug this afternoon from twelve to three Pacific.
Speaker 1: I'm on tonight. Coming up next, it's Colin Coward. You're
Speaker 1: listening to Fox Sports Radio.
