00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. In this Tuesday Dan and the

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Dannets Dan Patrick Show, Chris Mannox on loan from Sports Illustrated.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: In about twenty minutes, he'll reveal his MVP ballot eight

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: seven seven three. D P Show email address DPA dan

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: Patrick dot Com, Twitter handle at dp show. Say good morning,

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: Good morning to our TV partner Peacock and our radio

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: affiliates around the country, including those on the Fox Sports

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: Radio lineup iHeartRadio. Forty one year old Albert Poohols made

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: his Dodger debut last night and had a base hit.

11
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: These kind of signings can go either way. The Dodgers

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: have had some success. They brought back Chase Utley in

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Manny Ramirez came in like a house on

14
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: fire when he was thirty six, although he was subsequently

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: suspended for pe d use. Historically, sluggers tend to hit

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: a wall at a certain age, and you can see

17
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: that in Poohols's own career. That has happened certainly the

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: last decade. Los Angeles doesn't need him to be the

19
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,199
Speaker 1: pooh Hooles of old. They just don't need an old

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: pooh hooles. You got Bellinger and Seeger's sideline. The Dodgers

21
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: looking for some offense, and it would be interesting to

22
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: see how he deals with that utility role. Has a

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: reputation as a great teammate, even if his bat doesn't

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: wake up. Should be a positive force with the Dodgers

25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: clubhouse there. I was just curious joining the National League

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: not having a DH to take advantage of getting him

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: more at bats. But you're facing left handed pitching, and

28
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: it'll be situational baseball where Albert pooholes will come up

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: against left handed pitchers. Whole question, mcleven would okay, we

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: actually switched it up to NBA MVP, so I gave

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: these choices. I took the top six Vegas favorites, Yoki,

32
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Chris Paul, Luca Dons, Steph Curry, Joel Embiid, and Jannie.

33
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: We have a runaway winner, Steph Curry. Oh okay, but

34
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: for something reason, yokis is four behind Chris Paul and Luca.

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Don Chick. Yeah, I don't see Don Chick being in

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: the top five. Huge numbers, but you think he's just

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: not quite ready for that. I think he needs that.

38
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Let's get into the second round. I think that would

39
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: really help him. I mean, he had the big shot

40
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: against the Clippers last year in the postseason, and I

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: thought before Porzingi's got ejected that they had a real

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: good chance of beating the Clippers. But I mean, you

43
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: just got to advance. Look at the Greek freak. I mean,

44
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: he's still incredible. But if you don't get past that

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: second round, it just feels like, you know, the basketball

46
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: media forgets about you or they hold it against you.

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: It's like quarterbacks when they used to lose the Super Bowl.

48
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: Like Jim Kelly got to four consecutive Super Bowls, but

49
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: they lost. Therefore he doesn't get credit for going to

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: four super Bowls. It was, well, you lost four super Bowls.

51
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: All the other quarterbacks who didn't even get to the

52
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl and we would it was a negative. John

53
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: Elway he lost three Super Bowls. Not John Elway himself,

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: but his team did because they couldn't play any defense. Well,

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: Elway lost three super Bowls, not the Broncos Elway did. Oh,

56
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: Dan Marino lost his only Super Bowl appearance. Okay, quarterbacks,

57
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: we give you a whole lot of credit and a

58
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: whole lot of blame, whether you know it's worthy or

59
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: guilty or true or not. Yes, but did Ella even

60
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: really deserve all that much credit for the two Super

61
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: Bowls because then it had transformed into a bit of

62
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: a running Yeah, he got he got more credit. He

63
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: got too much blame, and he got maybe too much credit,

64
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: like that that run where he was flipped like a helicopter, Like, okay,

65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean whatever. Now, I think Elway's best quarterback I've

66
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: ever seen. I think as an athlete, he was incredible.

67
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think the offense was ever good even with

68
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: the three Amigos. They weren't Pro Bowl players. They didn't

69
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: have a great running back until they eventually got Drill Davis.

70
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: Elway did more with less than most quarterbacks. He got

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: the three super bowl Buffalo had an incredible offense. They

72
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: had a Hall of Fame running back, a two Hall

73
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: of Fame wide receivers, and he had a Hall of

74
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback. They got to four Super Bowls. Go back

75
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: and look at John Elway's supporting cast. Like, they didn't

76
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: have any great running back then, they didn't have a

77
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: great tight end back then. I think they had Gary

78
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: Zimmerman and that's about it. As a Pro Bowl offensive

79
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: player and he was a tackle. But they got to

80
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: three Super Bowls. Yeah, club, I'll give you two quarterbacks

81
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: who got too much credit for the Super Bowl wins

82
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: and maybe they didn't. Peyton Manning's last one though maybe

83
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: he didn't get credit, and Big Ben's first one when

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: they beat the Seahawks in that club this game, he

85
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: really didn't do much that game. Yes, you're right, he

86
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: did in the second Super Bowl. But that'll suck it

87
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame though those two. Oh yeah,

88
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: he's the whole of famer. Yeah, absolutely, Uh speaking of

89
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks Hall of Fame GM. Ron Wolf he made a

90
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: name for himself with the Green Bay Packers and uh,

91
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: he was on a show called The Big Show Network.

92
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: We have we have two different clips from him. Here

93
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: is uh Ron Wolf talking about quarterbacks the former Packers

94
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: GM that qbs all want to be gms. Today's quarterbacks

95
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: want to see more than quarterbacks. Uh. They're hired. Uh

96
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, at my time, they're hired to be to

97
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: play the position quarterback. That's what they're being paid for

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: and that's what they're being paid to do. But these guys,

99
00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: they want to pick the coach pick the players. It's

100
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: an interesting dilemma. Maybe now, do you need to hire

101
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: a guide to check on a temperature or some of

102
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: you guys and their agents to make sure everybody's okay.

103
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: You probably do today. It looks like it. Yeah, it

104
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: looks like we got a lot of divas playing in

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: that league right now, and that may be a way

106
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: of solving it. It's an interesting phenomena as far as

107
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about what's going on here. And the thing

108
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: that I fail to understand is all these guys that

109
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: are doing this how long term deals that I know

110
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 1: the game has changed, but it can't have changed that much.

111
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 1: Ron Wolf sounds like a man from a different generation,

112
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: and he is. I don't know how many quarterbacks are

113
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: picking their head coaches. But you're looking at you know,

114
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Yes, that's what quarterbacks did. They just

115
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: showed up and they played. But you have player empowerment here.

116
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: No Lebron changed that, Brady changed that. Patrick Mahomes is

117
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: going to change that. Other quarterbacks are trying to do

118
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: it now. I'm on record as saying, no, I'm not

119
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: letting to Shaun Watson tell me who to pick as

120
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: the head coach. But if he's going to say it

121
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: would be really important to me to bring in Eric

122
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: B Enemy. Okay, I'm going to listen to you. But

123
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: if I listen, I can't ignore it if the Texans

124
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: go okay, and then you sort of dismiss Eric B

125
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Enemy and they didn't. They didn't initially interview him, and

126
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: everybody got interviewed this past year because of the pandemic.

127
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: You could do a zoom call. You know, would I

128
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: give Aaron Rodgers total autonomy? No, I wouldn't. You know,

129
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: he didn't. He didn't see eye to eye with Matt

130
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: Lafleur when the floor got in there. But you know what,

131
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: Lafleur held his own. But I would give my star

132
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: quarterback a heads up on some things. Hey, we're looking

133
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: at this wide receiver. Don't know if you have any

134
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: feeling you're not involved in the draft other than if

135
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: we draft your replacement. I'm going to let you at

136
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: least know we're not changing our philosophy. But I'm going

137
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: to give you a heads up here. Yeah, why is

138
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: it that crazy of a concept in football? So exactly

139
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: what you just laid out the scenario, just way that

140
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: laid out, where the general manager or whoever in the

141
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: organization says, hey, star quarterback, we're thinking about going after

142
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: X Y Z on the offense. What do you think

143
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: why in football it seems like that's this revolution. Well,

144
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: you can't do that. What are you crazy? You're the quarterback? Like, why?

145
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Why is it that crazy to just ask them their

146
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: thoughts on things like that. It's an old guys sport,

147
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: you know a lot of it. You know, there was

148
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: a caveman feel to this for many, many, many decades.

149
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Here it's just different. Now you're paying these quarterbacks exorbitant

150
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: amounts of money. But I'm asking you not to have

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: any input. If Patrick Mahomes came to me and said, hey,

152
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, I played against this guy and I thought

153
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: he was great, or hey I played against that guy

154
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: and I thought he was average, why wouldn't I get

155
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I just take that information. I don't want

156
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes going, hey, you know what I'm thinking, Let's

157
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: let's trade a couple of draft picks and go up higher.

158
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: I want to get Penny Sewell, okay, how about you that.

159
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: You know, we'll take care of this. But if it's

160
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: a free agent, you know, Brady brought in Gronk and

161
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. He's familiar with it. Like we think that.

162
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: Brady all of a sudden sat down and went to

163
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians and went hey, and Jason liked, hey, listen

164
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: to me because this is what we're doing. Like he's

165
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: got a power point there. Brady didn't do that. Brady

166
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: just said I can get Gronk and can we take

167
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: another chance on Antonio Brien Brown. That's not running an organization.

168
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: What did Russell Wilson want? Can you help me on

169
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: the offensive line here? I'm gonna get sacked more than

170
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: any other quarterback in NFL history. When you're getting sacked

171
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: nearly forty eight times a game a season, I should

172
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: listen to you. If I'm paying you all that money. Okay,

173
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: enlighten me now. I don't know what Russ says. Hey,

174
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: get me an offensive lineman. Okay, Russ, Hey, you know

175
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking this kind of offense. We did this in

176
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: the first half, and then we didn't do it in

177
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: the second half. How do we you know what kind

178
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: of pieces you know? Are Are we in the market

179
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: for another wide receiver like whatever it is, I would

180
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: at least listen to if I if I thought that

181
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: much about this quarterback, of this quarterback I gave him

182
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: all that money that I don't listen to him. I

183
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: think I'm doing a disservice to the organization by not

184
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: doing that. Do I acqu asked to Russell Wilson and say,

185
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: all right, Russ, you're gonna get your way. I would

186
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: let him sit down. I would explain why we do

187
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: things because players don't know. I've been in those meetings

188
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: with management before. I think I know what I'm doing.

189
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: Management says, oh, we're doing it this way because of

190
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: and I'll go, oh, okay, that makes sense. Yeah. And

191
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: I don't get the sense either that like any of

192
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, you know, Russell Wilson isn't necessarily like, hey,

193
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: we're going after this wide receiver. Okay, cool, So what

194
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: do you think of two years sixteen? All right, what's

195
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: the roster bonus on them? That's a little steep for me.

196
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know that they're getting into want that that

197
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: kind of access or input. Yeah, pulling it would be funny, though.

198
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: If you want full disclosure, the quarterback has to be

199
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: prepared to hear from the gym because you signed a

200
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: seven year two hundred million dollar contract. We can't afford

201
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,559
Speaker 1: to keep that right tackle, We can't afford to keep

202
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: that tight end or that wide receiver. All that money

203
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: went to you. So now we got to look for

204
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: second tier guys in the draft as long as the

205
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are prepared to hear that. But we make it

206
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: seem like you know, Brady was involved in the draft

207
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: strategy with Tampa. He just he said that, look, can

208
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: we bring in a couple of these players. That was it.

209
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: They needed help on the line. Tristan Worf's I don't

210
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: think Brady went. You know, I'm willing to work him

211
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: out there. Uh you know, coach, when an't we going

212
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 1: to break down the Tristan Worf's game film police stop

213
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: by the house. You know, I'll have jis ll pick you. Yes.

214
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: One thing I think Ron Wolf is getting at it's

215
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is under contract and like a lot of

216
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: guys under contract, want to rip up their contract. But

217
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: the thing is, a team rips up these contracts all

218
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: the time. Nobody understands what's really going on with that fay,

219
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,839
Speaker 1: So of course the players want new contracts because the

220
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: team will cut the guy in two seconds. Though It's

221
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: very confusing, unlike NBA, where you have a real contract.

222
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: If they didn't take Jordan Love, would Aaron Rodgers have

223
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: a problem with the Packers organization. Probably unlikely, right, I mean,

224
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: he might have a little bit of a problem, but

225
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm guessing probably not. If Aaron somehow gets into the

226
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: end zone in that title game against Tampa Bay and

227
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: goes to the Super Bowl, does he still have a

228
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: problem with Jordan Love as quarterback? Maybe not as much

229
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: as it is now, But is it that final line

230
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 1: where you go, hey, I'm really upset, okay, and you

231
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 1: want out? Like the reports on Aaron Rodgers range from

232
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: he wants out, he might stay, he wants total control

233
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: of the roster, he wants a new contract. They've already

234
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: said they would make him the highest paid quarterback in

235
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: the league. I just think he got embarrassed and he

236
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: wants somebody in the Packers organization to beg for forgiveness publicly. Yes,

237
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: time they didn't need Roger's permission, but I would say,

238
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: especially if someone that's accomplished as him or any of

239
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: these elite quarterbacks, you know, I think it could have

240
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 1: solved a lot of problems if they just would have

241
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: worded it. How you word something with someone in any

242
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: line of work matters a lot. If they would have

243
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: just let him know, this is what we're thinking of doing,

244
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 1: not asking his permission to pick Jordan Love, but just

245
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: to include him, so he's not finding out for the

246
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: first time on draft night the direction they're going. And

247
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: I think that could have solved a lot of problems

248
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: to explain why they feel they got to protect themselves

249
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: in the future and take this young quarterball, well, your

250
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: star quarterback, you're gonna take his replacement. I mean he is.

251
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean any walk of life. Let's say you're watching TV.

252
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: There's a draft going on, and all of a sudden

253
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: there's I'm trading up to get a young booker, and

254
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: you're watching this and you see this happen, but I

255
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: didn't let you know. How do you feel I wouldn't.

256
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't like it that. I wouldn't even like it

257
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: if you had told me ahead of time, but I'd

258
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: certainly like it a lot less if I'm finding out

259
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: at that moment was when I'm thinking we're gonna pick

260
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: someone else in production of programming to the show better.

261
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: And it wasn't directly related to my job or my responsibilities,

262
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: Like why am I finding out now? Especially if I'm

263
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: somewhat accomplished and I've been doing it for so many years.

264
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: On a certain level, that's kind of crummy. To be

265
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: fair to the packers. When we had Aaron Rodgers on,

266
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you asked him specifically, when did you find out? He

267
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: said he found out just before the pick, which means

268
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: someone from the packers. We didn't really get. I don't

269
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: think so well, we don't know. You don't know that

270
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: it was the packers, but he did say he found

271
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: out just before the pick social media. It's possibly found

272
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 1: out from Adam Schefter or Jake Glazer, so they tipped

273
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: the picks. I'm gonna guess that that's it's also possibly

274
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: got a text from the GM saying we're about to

275
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: draft Jordan Love quick heads up, and it was forty

276
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: five seconds before the pick. We don't know. M yeah,

277
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: I would say forty five seconds before the pick was

278
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: tipped and then he got wind of it. Could be,

279
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: but I don't look, I don't know what the packers,

280
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, if they called him. All I know is

281
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: they must have done something really wrong, because every packer

282
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 1: in the front office went out to Aaron's house in

283
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Malibu this past summer, right or this spring, So they

284
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: must have done something wrong aside from drafting Jordan Love. Yeah, seton, Oh,

285
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I thought you had something to say. Oh no, sorry,

286
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you know I was trying. I'm trying to find the

287
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sound okay? Yes, mc love. By the way,

288
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: you're Fritzie analogy if you would hire a younger booker. Yeah,

289
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: what if you had hired a younger booker then Fritzie

290
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: booked Michael Jordan the following year, becoming the MVP of Bookers,

291
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: then he would have been doubly mad, because that's kind

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 1: of what Aaron Rodgers. Maybe maybe I should do that

293
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: to motivate Todd. Interesting, but that is that is interesting

294
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: about Aaron Rodgers. Would you have played at that much

295
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: of a level if he didn't have this Jordan Love

296
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder? All? Yeah, to try to prove

297
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: the packers what a horrible mistake they made that they're

298
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: already looking for its replacement. Yeah, but I don't I

299
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: don't know how that works. I think you always want

300
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: to do. Yeah, go Aaron Rodgers, gonna go out on

301
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: the field now, I really want to be great. I'm

302
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: assuming he wants to be great with his ego every

303
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: time he steps on the football field. Not I'm really

304
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: going to be great now. Because they embarrassed me, I don't.

305
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: Maybe you take it the next gear just a little bit,

306
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 1: or when you credit the fans, like if there was

307
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: no fans, then well of a sudden, they're all screaming

308
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: and cheering, and you find another level because they helped

309
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: carry you through the game. If I think a lot

310
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 1: of people have found they found out their company was

311
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 1: applying trying to get their replacement, and they bolt. They

312
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: look for the next place because obviously they don't care

313
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: about you, And maybe that's where Roger is like, look,

314
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 1: once that happened, they said, okay, cool, let me start

315
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: laying the groundwork for getting out of here. It's not

316
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: as easy when you're under contract. Well I was at

317
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Sports Center. They were bringing in young anchors all the time.

318
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: But young anchors it's less specific. You were in trench

319
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: and they never said, hey, damn, we're gonna move you

320
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 1: to the three PM news show. No, Rogers wasn't being moved. Yeah,

321
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: they just hired. They were hiring my replacement. They were

322
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: just trying to find who that replacement was going to be.

323
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: It could have been, you know, a woman, It could

324
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: be you know, it could have been Stewart Scott, it

325
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: could have been Rich Eyes, and could have been somebody

326
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: younger than that. They were they because everybody left Sports

327
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: Center and I was the last one there. They were

328
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: planning on when I wasn't going to be there. Punks, Yes, yes,

329
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: well yeah, I was gonna say. It's also like in

330
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: your case, it's a situation where the network is like

331
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,120
Speaker 1: drastically expanding, right, they're adding five different channels and they're

332
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: hiring all kinds of people and doing all of that stuff.

333
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: There's one quarterback and then the other guy. Yeah, that's it.

334
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 1: That's those are the only options. So it's not like like, oh, yeah,

335
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: we're bringing in Jimmy Lipper and he's going to do

336
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: a couple of overnight news shifts or whatever. It's it's

337
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're not adding new football teams to the

338
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: packards where they're bringing in other quarterbacks. Well, NBC brought

339
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: in Mike Trico, and then Trico was out in the

340
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: field and then he was going to committed the studio.

341
00:18:55,400 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: So I'm watching this unfold, you know, I I help

342
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: recruit Tariko to come to NBC. Yes, Todd, but what

343
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: if the network had an opportunity to hire this great

344
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: co host with you or an amazing producer, just to

345
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: make what you'd do already that much better? Using the

346
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: pack analogy where he wanted them to get the receiver

347
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: or running back with someone I'm the offensive line, as

348
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: opposed to taking a top pick on his on his backup,

349
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: the one that's going to take his place, that you know,

350
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: that would be I think a whole different story. As

351
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: opposed to looking for a young replacement for you at

352
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: sports ad, I got it, tell it, I got it.

353
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: You're good. I think so okay, And I'm not looking

354
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: for a young book at this time. No, at this junction,

355
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: at this junction, that word on the at this junk today. Yeah, No,

356
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be, you know, like Sean McVay and less snead. Uh.

357
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: He's our quarterback for the time being. We have no

358
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: plans to replace Todd. The position is not open at

359
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: this juncture. We'll take a break. Chris Mannox will reveal

382
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 1: Utah joining us. Hey Brian, what's on your mind today?

383
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: Quick question? Kind of two questions. Number one, a Lakers

384
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: fan in Utah, if you're the number one or number

385
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: two seed and don't know who you're facing, is that

386
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: a disadvantage? And number two, if you're a Lakers fan

387
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: and do you feel like you match up better with

388
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: the Jazz? Are you going to intentionally lose the first

389
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: team so that you can get you a better matchup?

390
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: Let's see. Do I think it's a disadvantage yes, for

391
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: these top seeds, But I don't know about losing the

392
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: first game of the playoffs because the next one's a

393
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: must win right this sd n OC I heard Dan

394
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: request resumes to fill Todd Fritz's position. Where should we

395
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: send those I specialize in incorrect trivia questions in poor

396
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: phone connections. Oh wow, is just harsh. Wait, I'm not

397
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: taking I'm not there's no resumes for Todd's job at

398
00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: this juncture. This juncture, it's very important to make sure

399
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: you're phasing that problem. Yeah, we just showed some Jared

400
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: Dudley video when he was with Brooklyn. I'd mentioned Jared

401
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: Dudley's like nobody wants to face us. He plays for

402
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: the Lakers, by the way, He's on the Lakers team.

403
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: And I say, I said to Seaton, I said, but

404
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: Jared Dudley is known for being an NBA insider, right.

405
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: He actually in July seventh of twenty ten, sent out

406
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: a tweet breaking news. My sources tell me Lebron will

407
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: announce he's going to the New York Knicks tomorrow on ESPN.

408
00:22:55,840 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: This is serious. Wow exclamation points. Now he wasn't the

409
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: only one to report that, but yeah, he whipped on that.

410
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: Let they bring in Chris Mannox, the senior writer NBA

411
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: writer for Sports Illustrated play in Tournament starting tonight. Do

412
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: you think the play in tournament good idea? Are we

413
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: in this for the long haul? I think the play

414
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: in Tournament is one of the best ideas the NBA

415
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: has ever had. And I say that not knowing the

416
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: results of the play in Tournament and knowing that if

417
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: it continues moving forward, we are highly unlikely to get

418
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: Lebron versus Steph Curry in for the Warriors anyway, or well,

419
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: not really a one game plat but two games and

420
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: loose type of situation the rest of the regular season, Dan,

421
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: was just so much more interesting because of the play

422
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: in tournament. You had less tanking because of the play

423
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: in tournament. I had a conversation with Scott Brooks of

424
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: the Wizards just last night, and he was telling me

425
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: that the fact the play in tournament existed and that

426
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: the Wizards, even though they finished at the number eight seed,

427
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: only had to theoretically get to ten, really enabled them

428
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: to keep their season going in late February early March

429
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: when it looked like they were going to fall apart.

430
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: So I'm all in on this version of the play

431
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: in tournament. I think the NBA is all in on

432
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: as well. What are the odds that the Lakers could

433
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: lose two in a row here in the play in tournament?

434
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: Very slim. Golden State game will be fun, and I

435
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: think the Warriors, because they have a sneaky good defense,

436
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: top five in the NBA could be more competitive than

437
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: people think. But I don't know the idea that the

438
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: Lakers could lose the Golden State and then lose to

439
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: the winner of Memphis versus San Antonio. That seems far

440
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: a fact. It's part of me, though, Dan that wants

441
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: them to lose the Golden State so they wind up

442
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: back in the Clippers side of the bracket. Because that

443
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: incredible tank job the Clippers did against Oklahoma City in

444
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: the last game of the season, I mean, you have

445
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: to really try hard to lose to Oklahoma City because

446
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: they're try equally hard to lose that game. For the

447
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: Clippers to lose the way they did just to avoid

448
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers side of the bracket, it'd almost be poetic

449
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: for them to get the Lakers ultimately in the end. Well,

450
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: didn't Denver try to do the same thing. Yeah, but look,

451
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: I don't look at Denver as a true championship contender.

452
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad look for anybody to lose

453
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: to try to avoid a team on your side of

454
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: the bracket. But then nuggets about Jamal Murray. They're a

455
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 1: great story, not a championship contender. They can can easily

456
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: get beat in the first round. The Clippers are like this, Yeah,

457
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: they're the contender, right, Kawhi Leonard, Paul George, add Rondo,

458
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: Tylu different dynamic. I keep hearing from everybody how this

459
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: is the year of the Clippers and what do they

460
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: do at the end of the regular season, they intentionally

461
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: los to Oklahoma City, then you played the game. I've

462
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: seen crazier things happen than a team win or tie

463
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: when down five with seven seconds left, but with seven

464
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: seconds left, down five, the Clippers just in bounded the

465
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: ball and ran out the clock like they were intentionally

466
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: trying to lose that game. I just that to me

467
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: doesn't put say a lot about a team's mental toughness

468
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: going into the postseason. And I'm trying to understand though

469
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: the Clippers. Are they better than last year? I know

470
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: they were in the bubble, but I don't know what,

471
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: Like what happens to Kawhi Leonard if the Clippers bow

472
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: out early here? What's his future in LA? Well, it's

473
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: a good question. I mean, people in LA will tell

474
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: you that Kawai's in this for the long haul, that

475
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: he didn't come to the Clippers for one or two years.

476
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: He came to finish his career in Southern California. But

477
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: if they get beat early, and look, this Maverick Series

478
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: not going to be easy for them. I mean, Dallas

479
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: goes into this series with a measure of confidence. I

480
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: mean they were playing well prior to Christaps Porzingis going

481
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: down in the bubble last year, so they're going into

482
00:26:59,920 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: this serious thinking. Look. Borzingis is healthy, Tim Hardaway Junior

483
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: a candidate for six man, one of a decent third

484
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 1: scoring option. They think they can win if the Clippers

485
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: bow out. I don't know. I mean, Kawhi is obviously

486
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: a tough guy to get a read on, but don't

487
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,479
Speaker 1: I certainly don't think it would bode well for the

488
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: future of the Clippers front office if they can't get

489
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: out of the second round for the second year in

490
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: a row. The MVP ballot is going to look like

491
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: what Nicola Yokich is going to be at the top.

492
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you starn't there. I think it will be

493
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: a wide victory for Yokich. I filled up my ballot

494
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: last night. The only difficult choices were two to five.

495
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: I mean Yokich, Yes, he's been the most durable of players,

496
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: and yes that was a factor, but he posted astonishing numbers.

497
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: He averaged three more assists per game than Steph Curry

498
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,399
Speaker 1: while only averaging a few fewer points. And just as

499
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: important for me, dan as I was kind of going

500
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: through the process here when Jamal Murray went down, the

501
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240
Speaker 1: Nuggets didn't fold. They won nine of their next ten,

502
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: and a lot of that was on Nicola Yokich, So

503
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: for me, that was kind of the last push for

504
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,439
Speaker 1: Yokich at the top of the ballot. Okay, who's second?

505
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: This is where I think it's going to get subjective.

506
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 1: I had Joel Embiid. I would have liked to have

507
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: seen him play a few more games, but the games

508
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: he did play in he was dominant, and if he

509
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: had played the same number of games as Yokich, he

510
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: would be the MVP. But I think he did enough

511
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: to warrant second on my ballot. Third, I went with

512
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: Jannis massive numbers this season. Fourth, I went with Luca

513
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: don Chi, you know the Mavericks. After a really slow start,

514
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: they came on to finish with that five seed and

515
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 1: donchs posted MVP worthy numbers. And fifth with Steph on

516
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: my ballot just an incredible scoring year for Curry and

517
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: helped push that team into this playoff mix. So those

518
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: are my top five with some very difficult omissions. Okay,

519
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: if there was an open draft and you can have

520
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: Curry or Yoki this year, one one one season, one season,

521
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: well that's not how the MVP really works. But I would.

522
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: I'd probably take Yokis for this season. Okay, probably, Yeah,

523
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you believe that. I don't think you

524
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:22,960
Speaker 1: believe that. I like Steph to me to Steph. The

525
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: you know, the Warriors without Steph win what fifteen games?

526
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: Probably probably something that's not good. It's not pretty. Yeah,

527
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: but it's not like they you know, if they were

528
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: higher than the eighth seed, I might have a different

529
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 1: opinion on this. But it's not like they set the

530
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: league on fire with how they played. Yes, in the

531
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: game step played and they were great too, Like they're

532
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: a better record of games he played in than the

533
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: ones that he didn't. But I mean, I just made

534
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: the case for Yokich. After Murray went down, they lost

535
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: an all NBA point guard and they won nine of

536
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: their next ten Like that matters in this Uh all right,

537
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm just I I was on record as saying def

538
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: would win the MVP from the start of the season

539
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: and figuring that maybe they would have Klay Thompson and

540
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: then maybe they would have James Wiseman. But I thought

541
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 1: that he did a incredible job. So he did, and

542
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: so look leaving I mean, the guys you leave off

543
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: are just as tough. I mean, Damian Lillard leaving him

544
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: off the top five. You know, Chris Paul leaving him

545
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 1: off the top five. I mean, there's a lot of

546
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: guys that made it tough to vote. We're talking to

547
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: Chris Mannix Sports Illustrated NBA senior writer. Which team is

548
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: in better shape, the Knicks or the Celtics. It's a

549
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: tough one. I gotta go with Boston only because their

550
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 1: top two players are better and have more upside than

551
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,479
Speaker 1: the knicks top two players. I mean, the Knicks this

552
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: season has been remarkable, but I'd still take Tatum and

553
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 1: Brown over Randall and RJ. Barrett. So long term, I

554
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: look at Boston. There needs to be some kind of

555
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: substantive change there. I mean, if that Boston team Dan

556
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 1: loses in the next two games to fall completely out

557
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: of the playoff picture, I wouldn't be surprised. I think

558
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: they lose to Washington tonight, and it wouldn't surprise me

559
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: if they lost to the winner of Charlotte and or

560
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: New Orleans and Indiana. They've got to do something significant.

561
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: But long term, I still like the talent gap between

562
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: Tatum and Brown and whatever the Knicks can throw out there.

563
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: But if they lose the next two, Brad Stevens is

564
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: still safe. Yes, Brad Stevens, who signed I believe a

565
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: five year contract just last year. He's still safe. I

566
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: just wonder, I mean, is Danny Ainge going to stick around?

567
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a question I have. You know, Danny's

568
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 1: been the cham in Boston for almost twenty years now.

569
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: That's an incredibly long period of time for any top executive.

570
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: I don't think Danny's innate trouble. I don't believe that

571
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: ownership would would push him out or he'd be fired

572
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: for any reason. But at some point you just kind

573
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: of say, all right, well, I've done enough. I led

574
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: this team to a championship. I put it in a

575
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: good position. It's I don't have the same energy from

576
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: the job anymore. That's something I wonder about as we

577
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: head into the Celtics off season. Before I let you go,

578
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: I know you also cover boxing for Sports Illustrated. Why

579
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: is boxing so gimmicky now that we actually care about

580
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: some Internet TikTok star you know, fighting Floyd Mayweather or

581
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: so called like that. Why is this a big deal? Well?

582
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: I would say this boxing fans don't care. It's just

583
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: that they've been able to marshal the legion of followers

584
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: that follow them on TikTok and YouTube and Instagram and

585
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: all over the place and convince that group of people

586
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: to buy pay per views, which is a credit to

587
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: Logan Paul and Jake Paul and all the other YouTubers

588
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: that are out there trying it. I don't think boxing

589
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: fans are pivoting to these YouTube guys. I just think

590
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: they've been able to bring an entirely new audience into

591
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: the boxing space, which is strange way could turn out

592
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: to be good for boxing if they handle it in

593
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: the right way. Now, you put a quality fight on

594
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: the undercard of Logan Paul versus Floyd Mayweather, it exposes

595
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,800
Speaker 1: them to an entirely new audience. Now, boxers that get

596
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: frustrated by the numbers that these YouTubers are doing, they

597
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: just have to look in the mirror. I mean boxing nowadays, Dan,

598
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: how many times do we get the best fighting the best?

599
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: How many fights fall by the wayside because of boxing politics.

600
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: You want to draw the same type of crowds and

601
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: draw it do the same type of numbers as the

602
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: YouTube guys. Stop fighting nobodies fight top level opponents, and

603
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: boxing fans will come back in droves. I've long believed

604
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: Dan that all the tens of thousands of fans that

605
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: showed up with the Sugar Ran Leonard fights and the

606
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tyson fights and the Lenox Lewis fights all throughout

607
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: previous decades, they're still there. They're just waiting for good

608
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: fights to happen. I was down in Texas where they

609
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: had seventy three thousand people in AT and T Stadium,

610
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: which may not have been the safest thing in the

611
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: world to do, but they had seventy three thousand people

612
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: in that stadium for Canelo Alvarez against Billy Joe Saunders.

613
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 1: If you build it, they will come. If you put

614
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: on good fights, they will come back. Right now, they're

615
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: not putting on good fights, and the YouTube stars are

616
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 1: claiming a piece of that audience. I would be interested

617
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: if Floyd Mayweather fought both brothers, then I would be

618
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: interested in that bout simultaneously. Do you still even care, like,

619
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, okay, WWE style, you know, handicap match,

620
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: I guess, fine, whatever, But Floyd fighting Logan Paul is

621
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: gonna have like thirty five pounds on him. Logan Paul

622
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: is not going to get a glove on him, not

623
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 1: a single glove unless Floyd lets him and decides to

624
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: give the fans a show by taking a shot or two.

625
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: But otherwise, if you're paying for it, go right aheads

626
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: your money, do whatever the hell you want with it,

627
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: but don't expect Logan Paul to do anything that resembles

628
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: being competitive with Floyd Mayweth. Great to talk to you, Chris,

629
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. You got it, Dan. That's Chris

630
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: Mannox Senior NBA and boxing writer for Sport Tilda Strading. Yeah.

631
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,959
Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm on this kick about trying

632
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: to say boxing we don't cover it that much, but

633
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean I was fortunate when I was covering it.

634
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: I got to see some of the great fighters in history,

635
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: from Tyson to Lennox Lewis to you know, Marvin Hagler

636
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 1: to Tommy Hearns to Sugar May Leonard. I mean, just

637
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: think there were so many. It's an interesting sport. But

638
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: I think with UFC, you know, people younger people have

639
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: you know, they gravitate towards that. There's so much action there.

640
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: Usually you're getting the best fighters to fight one another.

641
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: They might fight a couple of times in a year. Boxing,

642
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: it's always held up by politics, and now all of

643
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, you know, when Floyd Mayweather was

644
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: fighting Karna McGregor, I thought, you know what if you

645
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: make it MMA, now I'm interested. But boxing, Connor McGregor

646
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 1: can't box with Floyd Weather. If if all the great

647
00:35:56,920 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: fighters in that weight division can't do any damage to him,

648
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: can't put a glove on him, Connor McGregor is not

649
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: gonna do anything MMA. Now it's interesting because Connor McGregor

650
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: would probably kill him. But you know, you get these

651
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 1: brothers who are gonna fight. One's gonna fight so called

652
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,839
Speaker 1: fight Floyd Mayweather. I mean, just silly. And I know

653
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: it's all about pay per views. You know, hey, we

654
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: got people are gonna watch this. Okay. I mean, these

655
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: guys are okay, but they're not They're not professional in

656
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: any stretch of the imagination. I mean, they got some size,

657
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,919
Speaker 1: they're slow, but you know, all right, you you knock

658
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: out Nate Robinson, Like, come on, hey, let me see

659
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: your resume. Who have you fought? Uh screech saved by

660
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: the bell Nate Robinson and uh Danny Bonaducci. Oh wow,

661
00:36:56,920 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 1: you've earned a title shot. Yeah, Pollie. You know, Showtime

662
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: is doing pretty well with boxing the past decade. It's

663
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: pretty reliable. Showtime has really good coverage, a lot of

664
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,720
Speaker 1: good fights. But UFC it just feels like every weekend

665
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: or every other weekend, there's a nice card and they

666
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: organize it well, you know what time it's on. It's

667
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: down on weekends. They the undercard. You don't have to

668
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: pay for us. You can still watch some fights. They

669
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,520
Speaker 1: also don't have twenty divisions and twenty weight classes. I

670
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: think I think there's six weight classes in the UFC,

671
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: maybe seven tops. It just keeps it more organized. Well,

672
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: they started, you know, adding letters. It would be like

673
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: the WBC and the WBA and the WBO, and then

674
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: you're going the IBF and I'm going, how many champs

675
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: can you have? But I go back to Don King

676
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 1: and Bob Arram, you know, and Bob Aram's still in

677
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: the middle of all this stuff. All right, Well, take

00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:51,080

696
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: you say she looks like somebody famous and then she

697
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: doesn't think that that person is as attractive as she

698
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: would like that comparison to be. So he always kind

699
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: of watched that and I say, you know, honey, you

700
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: remind me of you look a little bit like and

701
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: you and you think it's a compliment, and then all

702
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: of a sudden it's not. Why do you think then,

703
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, I'm just kind of saying something nice.

704
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: I thought I was saying something nice. Marv Albert, by

705
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: the way, is going to join us on the program tomorrow.

706
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: We were just talking about if we had to do

707
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: a celebrity boxing match, who would we fight. Let's say

708
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: we're on the undercard of Floyd Mayweather and one of

709
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: these Paul boys. Did you say, Marv Albert, Marv is

710
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna be Oh that wasn't the same tease? Okay, I

711
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: got it. I could probably take Marv Albert, you think, yes,

712
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: and he could do the ring it and he could

713
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: do play by play while I rough him up. Yes, yeah,

714
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 1: how about that? And yes again yeah Paul. So we

715
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: each had to pick someone we'd like to fight who's

716
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: somewhat famous and that the fans would enjoy the fight. Yes,

717
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: all right, so here you go. Uh Okay, I just

718
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 1: watched the documentary the other day that I watched before

719
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 1: we watched about the fire Festival, remember a few years ago?

720
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and that uh you know what, Yeah, that

721
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,879
Speaker 1: his guy's name is Billy McFarland. Oh yeah, I didn't

722
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: realize how many people he screwed over down the Bahamas financially,

723
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 1: like who were out of work after that. I'd like

724
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: to kick the hell out of that guy. I know

725
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: went to prison all that stuff, but he could use

726
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: a good aspect and not be I would love to

727
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,439
Speaker 1: do it. I'd do it for free. Is he still

728
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,280
Speaker 1: in prison. Yeah. There's actually a lot of punchable people

729
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: involved in that people firefest thing. Yeah, but if I

730
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: take him down, everyone else would scatter. I was pretty good.

731
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: I'd sign up for that. Seaton, who are you fighting? Man?

732
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of, like, is there another sports

733
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 1: radio show board up? Guy? But I don't even know

734
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: who those dudes are anymore. They're not as famous as

735
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: you try and keep them more low. They're definitely not

736
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:51,839
Speaker 1: as famous as me. No yea. I always taking along

737
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: the same lines as Seaton, and I think any of

738
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: us could get involved with this. I think we could

739
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,399
Speaker 1: take down Stu Godsaid. I think that would uh from

740
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: the Dan LeBatard show. I think I haven't met him

741
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: in person, but I don't think he's that big. I

742
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: think we could win a fight any four of us.

743
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: He's kind of gritty, is he? Oh see, that was

744
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: a little worried about that. He strikes me as a

745
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: guy who's gonna he gonna surprise you a little bit.

746
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: Be good ratings on that fight, tho, way, yeah, would

747
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,239
Speaker 1: I think so? You see, he strikes me as the

748
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: kind of guy though that also has money on the fight,

749
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,760
Speaker 1: it might be willing to throw it to win. Yes, okay,

750
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: so there's a couple of waves to play that one.

751
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: All right? Who's fighting stugatch from the Leabotard show, mcleve

752
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:30,839
Speaker 1: and do you want to piece him? Okay? I think

753
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: a tag team match. I'll jump in there with Andrew.

754
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: I think my reach will help Seaton's grittiness, Pauli's wrestling skills.

755
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: Now we're not doing tag team dude, Royal Rumbull. All

756
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,720
Speaker 1: he's gone is the guy from the Fire Festival, Fritzie,

757
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Who are you fighting? I'd probably lose badly to both,

758
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: but I was thinking either Shila buff or maybe the

759
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: situation from the Jersey Shore. That guy rubs me the

760
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,800

Speaker 1: doo in his hair and he's walking home a shirt

762
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,719

763
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people would like to see some

764

766

771
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:25,399
