Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Did you guys know what the Memphis Grizzlies

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 1: record is without John Morant? This year? The Grizzlies survived

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: forty three from Kyrie. Last night thirty five from Kevin

5
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: Durant beat the Nets, and John Morant wasn't in the lineup.

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: They're fifteen and two without John Morant in the lineup.

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't seem possible. Is that a great thing? Boy?

8
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: That team? They can pick it up when he's not

9
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: in there? Or it feels like it might be a

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: slight that they're fifteen and two without him. Yes, Eden,

11
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: I don't know about for the Grizzlies, but that shore

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like a great thing for the Nets. Well,

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: the Nets got their good news because New York City,

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen vaccine mandate for athletes is going to

15
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: be lifted today. I don't know how you're going to celebrate.

16
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: But Kyrie didn't want to hear anything about this. Here's

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: Kyrie after the loss, being asked about that mandate. Not

18
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: ask me any questions about hypotheticals. What's gonna happen? Please

19
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: do not so anything is official, Please not ask me

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: any questions about that. Yell, okay, I understand that you're saying,

21
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: let's wait until it's official. But you've got Kyrie in

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: Memphis and you guys ended up losing. But now Kyrie

23
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: gets to play and he is well rested, like he's

24
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: not even coming off an injury, because normally you'll get

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: like Kawhi leonard Is has been injured, and now you know,

26
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Kyrie's been playing, you know, fifty percent of the minutes

27

Speaker 1: pro day, and of course he had a great pro day.

32
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: Who you know, I'm waiting for Sam Howe to have

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: his pro day and people are going to be gushing

34
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: over him, but you know Matt Correll, and he showed

35
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: some scrambling ability. Who scrambles doing during your pro day?

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: Like were there ball boys chasing him? There was there

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: an actual lion on the field chasing him. But we're

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: making a big man. Matt Carroll showed some Milanie. There

Speaker 1: know Chris Sims does Pro Football Talk Live co host.

41
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: Good to have you on, Chris. Let's start with your

42
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: immediate reaction when you heard the Chiefs let Tyreek Hill

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: go to the Dolphins. Well, shocked, I think shocked and sad.

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: All right, I think it's a little bit of both.

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean shocked because it was just like, wow, it

46
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: all happened so fast. Wait, there's rumors that he might

47
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: be traded. They allowed him to seek a trade. Wait,

48
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it his way. It's down to

49
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and Jets and no time and then boom

50
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: had happened. So that was the shocking part. Sad because hey,

51
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: this is one of the it's been one of the

52
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: greatest combinations in the history of football and unique at that.

53
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean again, it's it's a young quarterback in Mahomes

54
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: who took the league by storm with Irie Kill. Who's

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 1: you know, one of the fastest people we've ever seen

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: in an offense and a plan of attack that was

57
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: new that we had never seen into football. Hey, just

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, run seventy yards that way, run fifty yards

59
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: that way, run forty yards that way, stop and then

60
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: run forty yards the other way. We never saw anything

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: like that. So that's where I'm sad, because, yeah, I

62
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: think it will go down as one of the more fun,

63
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, greatest duos or combinations we've ever seen in

64
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: the NFL. Okay, can you make a case for the

65
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs in this situation? I can make a case for

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. You know, the Chiefs first off, very well

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: run organization. You look at their football team. They're not

68
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: big into giving second contracts to guys who are at

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: thirty are getting above Travis Kelsey's about the only guy

70
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: you can think of there. How many guys can you

71
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: pay towards the top of the market on your football team?

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, again, last week everybody's mad at Aaron Rodgers

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: because he took all the money. But then with Kansas City,

74
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: it's like, well, hey, they got mahomes, they're paying top

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: market dollar. Chris Jones is being paid top market dollar.

76
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: Kelsey's being paid top market dollar. Orlando Brown, who they

77
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: traded for last year, he's a franchise left tackle. They're

78
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to pay him top market dollar. So this

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: is one I think they looked at age twenty eight.

80
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: All right, m you're getting close to thirty. Maybe dropped

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: a little speed this past year. We can't pay you

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: twenty eight million dollars a year. We got to move

83
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: on to do something better for the team. And I

84
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: don't fault them for that. With the amount of money

85
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 1: he was asking for. Give me the quarterback under the

86
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: most pressure this upcoming season out of those two you

87
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: mean Mahomes and two of them. No, you can throw

88
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: everybody into the pool here. You can throw Rogers in there,

89
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you can throw Derek Carr in there. Sure, yeah,

90
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: it's it's it's interesting, you know. I look at first

91
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: off with like, you know, Mahomes, and everybody looks at it.

92
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: I think, I think, first off, Tyreek Hill is a

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: better receiver than Davante Adams. I do so. But I

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: also look at that and go, I don't know what

95
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: makes him better than Davante Adams. Um. You know the

96
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: fact that he can basically score from any part of

97
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: the field. You know, whether it's a reverse, a toss, sweep,

98
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: a slant route. You know, Oh, there's you know, twenty

99
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: seconds left in the game. We're gonna throw you a

100
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: twenty yard incut and then can you run by the

101
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: rest of the team in Buffalo for the other seventy yards?

102
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: Like that's special. Is very few people that can do that,

103
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: so that I am one that's maybe different that error

104
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: on that kind of guy. The Deebo Samuel's, the Jamar

105
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: Chases of the world over the Davante Adams. Davante Adams awesome.

106
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: Don't don't get me wrong, But I look at with

107
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: Kansas City too and go, I don't again, it hurts them,

108
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: but I don't go, oh, well, they're no longer you know,

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: a legit Super Bowl contender. I don't think that Green

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: Bay without Davante Adams. I do have that thought a

111
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: little bit because they were so centric around just the

112
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Rogers Davante Adams connection. But you know, pressure, that's a

113
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: really good question. First off, Tua has pressure around him.

114
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Now for sure, you've got no excuses. The old line's good,

115
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: you got the weapons, you got the office coordinator, they're

116
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: going and all of in on you. There's nothing we

117
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: can say here that you don't really have to be successful.

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: He's one guy I look at to be up there

119
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: in that category. I do think Rogers is up there

120
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: in that category. Yeah. I think those are probably the

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: guys that jump off to me more than more than

122
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: others right now, Okay, assessed to it. He's going into

123
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: his third year here. Yeah, still feels like they're not

124
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: sure what they have, right. You know, I think this

125
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: is a double down move to go, wait, wait, we're

126
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: gonna make it work or you know, or we've given

127
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: you everything to try to make it work and it

128
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: didn't look that good this year, maybe you're not the guy.

129
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of like brings it all to

130
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: a pinnacle here to go. All right, he's either the

131
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: guy or he's gonna prove himself that he's not the guy.

132
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: With this type of weaponry, not a huge arm. You

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: know that. We know that everybody knows that, right, But still,

134
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: no good athlete has good feel for the game. You know,

135
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: he is good in the pocket. He's got some different deliveries.

136
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, coming out of Alabama, everyone was like, hey,

137
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: he's like a point guard, right, I would agree with that.

138
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, he makes a lot of great passes. He

139
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: doesn't make a lot of great throws, you know, throws

140
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 1: or what I look at twenty yard out route, you know,

141
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: in the hole down the sideline, thirty yard game. That's

142
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: not what he is. But I think with Mike McDaniel

143
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: the offense, they're gonna run there right, it's gonna be

144
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: the Shanahan zone scheme. Oh wait, it's Wattle going this way.

145
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Oh they faked it to him. Oh no, They're throwing

146
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: to Tyree Hill and the slant round the second level

147
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: like we see Deebo Samuel. He's got two Deebo Samuels

148
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: in his offense basically now. So he's got that. And

149
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: then I think ta with the movement, the bootlegs, pretty

150
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: quick release, good short ball thrower, that's where it fits him.

151
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's the formula they're gonna try to

152
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: replicate down there. See. I think Waddle is really the

153
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: key to this because you know, I got a rookie contract.

154
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: I got a guy you can you can have him

155
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: on every down catching balls. Tyree Hill is more of, hey,

156
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 1: we need a big play where Waddle is the guy

157
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna have a hundred grabs. It feels like, yes,

158
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 1: it would agree. Wattle is unique and you know, really

159
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: really fast, you know, maybe just a little not as

160
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,559
Speaker 1: fast as Tyreek but it's real fast. But he's also

161
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: a very good underneath the route runner too, and he

162
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: can do that Julian edem and Wes Welker type of

163
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: stuff as well. That's where it is unique. And you

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: know again, there's two guys that put tremendous stress on

165
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 1: a defense because of their ability to make big plays

166
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: from anywhere. They're always screen to them. These guys can

167
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: go seventy yards down to the sideline. You couple that

168
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: Dan with the offense itself, Gisecki at tight end, Oh

169
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: my gosh, and then hey, they're making some nice moves

170
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: of running back with Chase Edmonds and Mostert and company.

171
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: I look at it and go, man, Miami. We know

172
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: the defense was good, and now the offense is rather

173
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 1: than into the shape here, that's one of the more

174
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: talented rosters in the NFL. I know that. I always

175
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: respect your opinions when it comes to quarterbacks going into

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: the draft, and I'm prefacing that because I saw where

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: the number one back, according to Chris Simms of Pro Football,

178
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: tonk is Matt Correll. Right, old miss quarterback Matt Correll right?

179
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: All right? The floor is yours. Okay, you know again,

180
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: this is uh, a guy that's got I knew he

181
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: was talented. I turned it out. I guess I was

182
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: a little bit more blown away by his talent than

183
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: I thought. You the first thing, I'll just hit you

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: with this banner statement. He has three things that he

185
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: does at an elite level. To me, that like the

186
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: NFL is gonna look at and go Dan, that's that's special.

187
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: First off, his arm is extremely strong. I mean it's

188
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: like crazy stronk to where you go? Man? Did he

189
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: really throw that ball twenty five yards out route? And

190
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: it was like five five feet off the ground the

191
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: whole way there, Like you had to almost to rewind

192
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: it to go wait, did that really do that the

193
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: whole way there? So big time arm, quickest release in

194
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: the draft, Quickest release I've seen in any draft since

195
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,559
Speaker 1: I've gotten into this side of the business, Dan that

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: I would say that. And then as an athlete, quickness

197
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: in his feet is elite and as good as anybody

198
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. His ability to pop around the pocket,

199
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, get his feet situated and make a throw

200
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: it's phenomenal. Oh fake a little RPO boom, hit the feet,

201
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: get the bat of his hands. It's as quick as

202
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: anybody I've ever seen. It's up there with the Rogers

203
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: and Mahomes and being able to flick it and do

204
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: all of that. So I really like him. I do.

205
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: I think he's a good athlete. He throws the ball

206
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: in the run. Play action pass is the thing in

207
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: the NFL right now. He thrives on that. He hasn't

208
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: put it all together yet, but it's all going in

209
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: the right direction. And I think you couple that with

210
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: the skills I see in the field, I go, yeah,

211
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: he's the first quarterback for me. Okay, is he a

212
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: top ten pick? You know? Again, I'm different here, but

213
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: I sit here and you know what I want to say, Dan,

214
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,839
Speaker 1: I mean, if two was the number five pick, then yes,

215
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: Matt corral is a top ten, top you know pick

216
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: that way. But no, again, off the field stuff goes

217
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: into that. You know. You hear rumors he was a

218
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: little bit of a wild college kid. Okay, whoop, but

219
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: he do. I don't care about all that crap. I'm

220
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: just going about what I see on the field here.

221
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: But I do think his talent warrants that. Now. You know,

222
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: is he polished and ready to go this second? No,

223
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: you'd have to you know, use him in special ways

224
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: and slowly bring him along. But I don't think anybody

225
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: is polished. You know, willows isn't pick it pick It's

226
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: a little more than the rest. He's the safest bet

227
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: I would say, like you know, he's the closest to

228
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: a what you would want to say, like the mac

229
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: Jones last year. He's been in a pro style offense.

230
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: You get to see a lot of that. He can

231
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: really play the position well, Dan, everything is good. There's

232
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: nothing he does great to me, there's there's his His

233
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: great is just that he really knows how to play

234
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: the position and has a lot of experience. He can

235
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: make all the throws. He's good athlete, he's got good size.

236
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't watch Kenny pick it ever and go wow,

237
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: oh wow, he does that. Oh my gosh, I love that.

238
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't ever say that with corral And and Willis.

239
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: I do say that, and I would say, yes, I

240
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: think corral and Willis their ceiling is higher than somebody

241
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: like Kenny Pickett. Right. I have great respect for your

242
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: opinions there. Thanks Muddy, Thanks Buddy. I appreciate it. Even

243
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: though you know you guys think Jim Harball could beat

244
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: me up. Other than that, your guys are cool with me.

245
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: You think you could beat up Harball? Yeah, yes I do.

246
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: Of course, I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it.

247
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, yes, right. How about you know, like

248
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: Jake Paul is always trying to get guys to fight

249
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: on his card there, Oh yeah, yeah, you don't know

250
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: about that, Jake Pawkin Box. He's a no no, no,

251
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 1: no no. You know you'd be on the card the undercar.

252
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, hey, money's right, let's get a doll, let's

253
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: get it going. I'm ready for it. I mean, they

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: seems like Jake Paul's doing all this stuff and these

255
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: guys are getting paid. I'm down for that. Okay, let's

256
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: do it. But you think then I could get your

257
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: dad to fight Hardball's dad, Well, that that's one where

258
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: I'd got a lot of respect for mister Hartball there,

259
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: but he might be a little too old for Big

260
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Phil at this point. Yeah, so you would take Harball? Okay, yeah, yeah,

261
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: all right, don't start that again. I'm just having fun,

262
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: all right, are you? No, and kind of not just

263
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: reminding you guys what side you took if that ever happened.

264
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: I would take. I would take. I know I'm afraid

265
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: of Hardball. I didn't. I was supposed to sign, you know,

266
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: fill out the NCAA bracket for you guys in the show,

267
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: and and I meant to, and all and all, I

268
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: really did. I got a little busy last week. I

269
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: had to travel and and then I no, no joke,

270
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: I honestly thought about they think Hardball can take me,

271
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: screw their bracket. I'm not okay. I felt good, and

272
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: that's how I justified it in my brain. We didn't.

273
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: We didn't lose. I mean, Adam Sandler wasn't too busy.

274
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell wasn't too busy. Yeah, because they're sitting on

275
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: piles one hundred million dollars. Oh yeah, another guy, he's

276
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: busy tweeting all day. Jay, I want my new Tesla.

277
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: It's taken forever. It's a year and a half. Stop tweeting. Elon.

278
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: Must get to work and get me my damn car. Okay,

279
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: thank you, Chris, thank you. That's Chris Simms, Pro Football

280
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: Talk Live co host. He loves Matt Corrall, my number

281
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: one quarterback in this year's draft. Insane athlete, Nobody with

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: quicker feet as quicker releases I have seen in a

283
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: few years. Arm strength is phenomenal. I wish he had

284
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: actually let it go a little more. He just has

285
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: to put it all together. That's a tweet from Chris Simms.

286
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Simms has a good history of assessing these quarterbacks. But

287
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: I don't like when you give me those opinions from

288
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: a pro day. I want to I want to have

289
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: a scout's opinion. And my source, who's a scout. I

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: always say, you know, what are you basing this on?

291
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: And he says, I'm not interested in pro day. I'm

292
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: interested in game day, Like what do you do during

293
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: a game? That's why when people go Teddy Bridgewater had

294
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: a bad pro day, I said, did you watch him play? Like?

295
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: He's pretty good in games? Lamar Jackson, I don't know,

296
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,600

317
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: Wolverines play Villanova later on tonight, Sweet sixteen. We had

318
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 1: Chris Webber on yesterday and we were talking about Michigan's run.

319
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: I looked at his bracket and then uh I realized

320
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: he didn't pick Michigan, his alma mater, to win the

321
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: national championship. We spoke to Juan Howard after the show

322
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: yesterday and we recorded an interview, and I started out

323
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: by asking him did he know that Chris Webber did

324
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: not pick them to win the championship? No, I do

325
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: not share that with me. Please, Houston. Oh, it's a

326
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: good team, impressing. Yeah, but you had him in the

327
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: locker room. He's given a pep talk to your team

328
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: and he didn't even pick you guys to win the

329
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: National Championship. Well, I mean, I'm sure Chris is not

330
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: the first person pick us. He would not be the

331
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: only firston did you pick Michigan to win the National

332
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: Championship at the start of the tournament. I will tell

333
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: you this, I trust with our staff and players since

334
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: July first, that will be prepared for this moment. But

335
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: if I told you a month ago that you would

336
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: be in this situation getting ready to take on Villanilva, realistically,

337
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: what would you have said? We are for competitors only,

338
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to the matchup. And so now we're

339
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: here today and we are for competitors only, and we're

340
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to this exciting game on Thursday. It's gonna

341
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: be a very competitive game on Thursday. I mean they're

342
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: great team World Coach Hall of Fame coach at Jeff

343
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: Jay Wright won two national championships and by the way,

344
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: one of those games was against Michigan, so they broke

345
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: our hearts. Man, how do you do you have your

346
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: pep talk ready? All right, No, I do not. You know,

347
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: we have a pep talk. You speak from the heart.

348
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: And I've always like whenever there's a coach to try

349
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: to give a pep talk and he started looking at

350
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: a paper or he started like, you know, it just

351
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: flows just naturally, like you can tell he practice that

352
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: pep talks got come from the heart. It's got filled

353
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: through the moment of passion. Do you remember a particular

354
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: pep talk that you got in college? You speaking? Yeah,

355
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: I'm too old, man, I got too great here. I

356
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: can't recall. Did you ever get a pep talk in

357
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: the NBA? Did a coach ever give pep talks? Oh? Yeah,

358
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm you know, speaking at like

359
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: some of those pep talks in the NBA from some coaches,

360
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: and I'm not naming, but you can tell which ones were,

361
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, authentic and real and you know the ones

362
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: that was just um, let's just get through the season. Guys, um,

363
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: you know it feels like you've had I guess a

364
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: roller coaster ride this year. How would you describe this? Uh?

365
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: This season, Well, this season for all schools has been

366
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: dealt with diversity. We dealt with diversity through first starting

367
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: with injuries. Secondly we had guys key guys that miss

368
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: games because of COVID. We also dunt with diversity through

369
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: my suspension and now we're here and has just been

370
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: a test of character throughout our group. On you know,

371
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 1: we always talk about when we are a Michigan family

372
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: and you know, my family go through things. You know,

373
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: family sometimes can you either grow apart or get stronger.

374
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: This family has truly have been together and gotten stronger.

375
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: What did you do when you were suspended? Well, for me,

376
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: I do a lot of reflecting on how I can

377
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 1: improve as a person as a player. I'm sorry you're

378
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: not a player. As a coach, sometimes you still think

379
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: yourself as a player because you've played in so many

380
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: high pressure games, competitive games and pressure moments. But and

381
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: then with that, you know this counseling where and will

382
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: continue to keep going through counseling once the season is over.

383
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: On how I can help grow this team and how

384
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: I can be a better leader. And that's I think.

385
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: You know, during that time, I've learned a lot brew

386
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: and I've forgotten stronger while doing it. That five game absence,

387
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: But did you recognize that guy when you like that yourself?

388
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: When you watch the video of that against the Wisconsin Well,

389
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: reflecting back on that situation, it was a tough moment.

390
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: It was a very painful momentum and looking you know,

391
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: and now getting back to that situation, I never want

392
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: to go back to a moment like that ever again.

393
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: And I grew from it and uh and with that, um,

394
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: I apologize for it, and now it's time to move on. Well,

395
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: sometimes somebody needs to slap and somebody needs to hug. Though, Juan,

396
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: I need a hug. Okay, when you when you go

397
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: up to the Tennessee kid, I mean when did you

398
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: know that he needed a hug after that lass? Well,

399
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, Kennedy, you know, very competitive young man, super

400
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: talented and as we're shaking you know, all the players

401
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: hands and coaches. Um, you know, I noticed where he

402
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: had a cheerful moment and that was a time as

403
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: a as a father, also as a coach. I felt

404
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 1: he needed me, and I embraced them, try to get

405
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: him from words of encouragement, encouragement and then just at

406
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, just console them. And I'm

407
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,000
Speaker 1: sure my kids aren't have a moment like that someday,

408
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: and it would be nice for a coach to do

409
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: the same for them too. Well. We talked to Chris

410
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: Webber about the time out that he called against North

411
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: Carolina and you know, in the huddle and you know,

412
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: he's he's emotional. I mean, those are teaching moments, he says.

413
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I'm he goes, I'm still teaching people about it, and

414
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: I'm the one that went through it. I mean that

415
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 1: you got to witness that firsthand. Yes, uh, you know,

416
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: that was you know, a very painful moment for the team,

417
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: but also it was more painful for Chris. And I

418
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: never forget. We're in the press conference and Chris was

419
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: blaming himself on our team's lost, and you know I

420
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: had to interrupt him during that moment and let him

421
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: know that, you know, as a team, I would win

422
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: together and as a team we lose together. And there

423
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 1: was never, you know a time where I thought that

424
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: that loss was you know, Chris's loss. You know, he

425
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: was the you know, the reason why we lost that

426
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,719
Speaker 1: ball game. UM, and it was nice to know that,

427
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: you know, he has grown from it. UM. He's also

428
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: has helped others, just like how he'd helped Kennedy during

429
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: that at that time. It just shows his level, where

430
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: his heart is and also his level of maturity. I

431
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: think it was great you had him in the locker

432
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: room because I thank you. I think he loved it.

433
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean I think it. I think it hit him

434
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: pretty hard. Well. You know, that was the first time

435
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,479
Speaker 1: Chris has been back to a basketball game. And then

436
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: have your brother guy who I've been in the trenches

437
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: with a guy who are a young teenager at the

438
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: University of Michigan and UH, we sperience experienced a lot

439
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: of fun moments and a lot of teachable moments, and

440
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:17,399
Speaker 1: we are also grown together as brothers UH and with

441
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: family for lock time. And to have one of your

442
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: brothers in the locker room to support not just me,

443
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: you know, because it wasn't about me. It was about

444
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: the players and the staff and UM. And to leave,

445
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: you know, his family to be president. I thought that

446
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: was a very special moment. Ray Jackson calls him the

447
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: black Unicorn. They called him the Black leopard. Con he

448
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: says that he never leaves the house, that you know

449
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: you never see him. Yeah, yeah, Ray is classic man,

450
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: you know, like only ready can say something like that

451
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: to Chris and get away with it. Uh, you will

452
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 1: advance if what care of the basketball we defend without fouling.

453
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: We we don't get bored with the little things that

454
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: does not show up on the box score, getting up

455
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: on shot fakes, blocking out when they're they're spreading in

456
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: for offensive rebounds because you know, Allisman talked about their

457
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: shooting and about you know, how Weather shoot the ball

458
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: from the free throw line. But being a team that

459
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: is tough and well coached ass building over, they do

460
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: an excellent job of getting second shot opportunities. So we're

461
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: going to have to box out and limited to one

462
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 1: shot opportunities. Could you give me five minutes? Like, could

463
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: you play five minutes? I can give you five minutes

464
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: half court? Oh so you wouldn't even you wouldn't run

465
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: down the other end. I wouldn't. I wouldn't run down

466
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: the other end. And then I prefer to be on

467
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: the offensive side. Of course you do. Of course you do. Hey,

468
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: congrats so far, Good luck again Villanova, and we'll be watching.

469
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dare, thanks for having me. That's Juwan Howard.

470
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: Tonight it'll be Michigan, Villanova, Arkansas, Gonzaga, Texas Tech Duke,

471
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,359
Speaker 1: Houston in Arizona. Looking at the point spreads here, thanks

472
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 1: to draft Kings, Arkansas is I think around a nine

473
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: point underdog against Gonzaga. Man, it just feels like Arkansas

474
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: can beat Gonzaga. Muscleman can coach, and Zaga feel the

475
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: Zags feel a little bit vulnerable. But then you always

476
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: have one of those games that the team that eventually

477
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: wins a championship or goes to the title game that

478
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: they had that game where they could have gotten knocked

479
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: off early. Houston in Arizona. That feels like that's a

480
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: one point game one way or another. Texas Tech Duke

481
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: feels like a one point game one way or another.

482
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: Michigan Villanova. You know this is where Jay Wright has

483
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: You know, they're just magic dust that he sprinkles out there.

484
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: That feels like those players are all interchangeable. Colin Gillespie

485
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: is a really good player, probably the one name that

486
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: you know from that team. But it comes down to

487
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: coaches here when you think about it, we're talking about

488
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: these coaches. You got Sampson with Houston and he's got

489
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: a track record of being a really good coach, tournament

490
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: coach there. You know, Mark Few, is this the year? Coach?

491
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: K Is this the last game? So? And Duke is

492
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: big business for March Madness. Just want to say, you

493
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 1: look at the ratings. Duke is big business they get about.

494
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: I think they had eleven million watching them play Michigan State.

495
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: Not that March Madness and CBS and TBS would want

496
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,440
Speaker 1: to influence anybody to make sure Duke continue to move on.

497
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: But it is a TV show. Duke's big business there.

498
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: But Duke is going to have its hands full with

499
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: Texas Tech. That's one of those. It feels like first

500
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:06,360
Speaker 1: team to seventy is gonna win that game. Good action though,

501
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: coming up tonight. Some more phone calls Dale in Indiana, Hi, Dale,

549
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: When you were in that seventh eighth grade years, that

550
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: was the easiest way to get physically close to a girl, Yeah,

551
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: who normally wouldn't get physically close to you. Yeah, they

552
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: wanted to, you know, couples. Well, we had dances. We'd

553
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: have high school dances where you you they'd clear out

554
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: the cafeteria, the tables, and then you got to have

555
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: music played in there. You wanted time. Yeah, but they

556
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: had like the disco ball and the lights and everything.

557
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: Roll a palace, she said, Bay in Brooklyn and just

558
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: cruising around, going in circles with the disco ball and

559
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: the signing like fever cut out floor. It was awesome.

560
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: I didn't even know how to roll escape, but I

561
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: just thought it was very cool. How did you do?

562
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 1: Because I held on to the little bar and I

563
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: had a grilled cheese sandwich in one hand. They had

564
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,400

579
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 1: Dodgers manager, one a World Series as a player of

580
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: the Red Sox and as the Dodgers manager and former

581
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: National League Manager of the Year, joining us from spring training. Dave,

582
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: good to have you back on how did the sort

583
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: of abbreviated spring training affect your approach on how you're

584
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: going to get everybody ready? You know, dp it was.

585
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,959
Speaker 1: It was different. It was a frenzy. There was a

586
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: lot of trust that had to be kind of accounted

587
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: for because we couldn't talk to the players and we

588
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: just had to hope that they were going to be ready,

589
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: starting pitchers in particular, And so once we get there,

590
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of an overall conversation assessment and super guys

591
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: rat But with our guys, to a man, it's been

592
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: really good. And uh, you know, whether it's Clayton or Walker,

593
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: you know, guys are putting their work built up and

594
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,960
Speaker 1: it's been good. But obviously, and we'll get to Freddie later,

595
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: but I know that, you know, Freddie just kind of

596
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: getting him his feet wet, so he's a kind of

597
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: a late arrival at camp. But guys like that. But

598
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 1: right now we're kind of on track. How are you

599
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: told that the Dodgers are ding Freddie Freeman? So I

600
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 1: kind of joke DP that it was kind of the

601
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: worst kept secret in all of baseballs that and I

602
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: say that in a sense that it's something that I

603
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: think everyone wanted and we were involved in trying to

604
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: make it work. And then, uh, you know, once that

605
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: Olds and trade went down, I was with Andrew and

606
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: we were going over over our roster and some other

607
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: baseball ops guys upstairs. It's kind of about maybe ten

608
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,759
Speaker 1: o'clock at night, and so we finalized the deal that night.

609
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: So Andrew and I called Freddie together and congratulated him,

610
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: and I know he was thrilled. And just to get

611
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: him in that Dodge uniform, man, it's pretty special. Didn't

612
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: he show up in his suit holding his baseball glove? Yes?

613
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: He did. So. The funny thing is that he had

614
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: a suit, he had some like Swede boots or some

615
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: shoes on. So this is the Bobby Cox pedigree. Man,

616
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, you're tight, classy and all dressed up.

617
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 1: So I think he was JT and some other guys

618
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 1: that game a lot of greed and he was laughing.

619
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: He goes, Okay, I'm gonna fit in just fine here

620
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: in this ball with this organization. I was wondering about

621
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw when I saw the deal. It felt like

622
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: it was a team friendly deal and it was a

623
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: one year deal, and it feels like this might be

624
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 1: year to year with Clayton or am I reading too

625
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: much into this? I think that it's fair as far

626
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: as a year to year situation. I think right now

627
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: he's in a position where he can dictate where he

628
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 1: wants to play. And obviously he's a Dodger for life,

629
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 1: Dodger legend, but Texas his home, and so that's been

630
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: kind of made public. But right now we're he's a

631
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 1: Dodger for for this year. We'll see what happens next year.

632
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: And I think that there's some incentives in there. But

633
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: obviously the player, Clayton, liked the deal, and there's something

634
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: he said for being a Dodger, so you could see him.

635
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: It's not out of the realm of possibilities that he

636
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: could end his career as a Texas Ranger. You know what.

637
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,479
Speaker 1: With Clayton, I don't want to speak for him DP,

638
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,959
Speaker 1: but I could see that that's a possibility. But that's

639
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: up to him and Ellen so and I don't I

640
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: don't know that answer. Did you go to football games

641
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: this past year? I did. I went to my first

642
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: Rams game and so I saw that NFC Championship game

643
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: and then I actually have a chance to go to

644
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl as well. So pretty remarkable stadium and

645
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: crazy vibe. It was awesome. Well, I know you're a

646
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: football guy. You've talked about that before. You know, you

647
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,640
Speaker 1: do you do? You look out there and go, how

648
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: could I possibly think that I would want to play

649
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: that sport professionally? Absolutely, that was the best decision I

650
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: made to get off the grid Iroland and get on

651
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: the baseball time. And I had a chance to meet

652
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: a Dominican sue a couple of years ago at Dodger Stadium,

653
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: and I just see this guy knowing that out he's

654
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: got me by probably one hundred and fifty pounds and

655
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 1: he can outrun me. So that's what you're dealing with

656
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL, man, it's crazy. Are you up on

657
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: all the rule changes? No? You want to build me in. No.

658
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: I have a cheat sheet that's helping me a little bit.

659
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: And then I know there's a Showhyo Tani rule that's

660
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 1: in there, and it seems to be a lot going on.

661
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: How do you how do you keep all of this

662
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 1: sorted out? You know what? I got a bench coach,

663
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: Bob Garrett, He's he's the rules guy. Danny and I

664
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: have no idea. Many seems like kay change all the time,

665
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: and there's gonna be something that's going to be implemented

666
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: here in about a week or maybe April six, the

667
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: day before opening they I don't know. I just I

668
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: got enough on my plate to worry about these until

669
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: it's a minute. I really don't take too much attention.

670
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that we're going to see more players

671
00:37:53,680 --> 00:38:01,439
Speaker 1: try to do what Showho Tani's doing, because I don't

672
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: think that they can. I think in theory, I think

673
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: every player wishes they can be showing Heyo Tani. But

674
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: there's a reason why he But maybe ten years from now, though,

675
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: Dave that you you you're almost preparing for usually your

676
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: best player as a pitcher and a shortstop, and so

677
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if we would see a twelve year

678
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: old go I plan on pitching and hitting, you know,

679
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: and playing the field in the majors. Yeah, I mean,

680
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 1: I guess that's fair. I guess that's fair because I

681
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: think that right now you look at a little bit

682
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: of a broader look as far as travel ball and

683
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: where now I when I played, there's no such thing

684
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: as as a po and a po, I guess, is

685
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: a pitcher only. And so you know, when I came up,

686
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: when you came up, we kind of pitch play. The

687
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: best player is certainly going to pitch at some point,

688
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 1: so certainly show Hey is a is a mate, is

689
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: a superstar, is a face one of the faces of

690
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: major League baseball? So yeah, people might try to Emily.

691
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you look ten years down the road,

692
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 1: potentially might give players some more runway to do that,

693
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: which would be great. But man, that show, Hey, is

694
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: really special. He's Dave Robert's Dodgers manager joining us Stan

695
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 1: Patrick show. You had twenty three home runs? Is that right?

696
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: In your career? Hey? But you forgot the one postseason homers.

697
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: So let's let's uh, for the sake of this discussion.

698
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: I had twenty four major league homers. Okay, all right,

699
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: So inside the parker you you averaged two point four

700
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 1: home runs per year. You you had problems with your

701
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: launch angle, didn't you, Dave? I absolutely, it was more

702
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: negative launch angle. So that's just not good. So it

703
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: just certainly affected my war, I'm sure. And you had

704
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 1: eight home runs in two thousand and five. Were you

705
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: were you juicing back then? There are a lot of

706
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 1: questions about that, you know what I wasn't I just

707
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,439
Speaker 1: I was ahead of the analytics launch angle though. Um yeah,

708
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: so I think my angle was maybe like twenty one

709
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 1: degrees that year, So yeah, I clipped a few the

710
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: best pitcher. You hit a home run off of Kurt Shilling,

711
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: and I bet you remember the adbat. I'll bet you

712
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:23,359
Speaker 1: remember the adbat. It was at the old Bob Bank

713
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: One Ballpark, Okay, and it was a three run homer

714
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: and he threw me a he threw me a three

715
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: one heater and it was It was pretty cool. Yeah,

716
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: do you ever bring up any of these things to

717
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: you know now that you're not playing anymore? But do

718
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: you when you run into somebody, which, like, if you

719
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: saw Shilling, would he know that you knew that you

720
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: took him deep? So Schilling definitely knows. We've talked about

721
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 1: it in the past. I got another good one for you, DP.

722
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: So I was in Double A in Jacksonville, playing for

723
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Sons. And this was nineteen nine eight. So

724
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 1: John Smoltz was on rehab with the Braves. He comes

725
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: down and pitches for the Greenville Braves playing we are hosting,

726
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: and so first inning I hit a homer off John Smoltz.

727
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest one I've ever hit. But it

728
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: wasn't a big league colmert. So the funny thing is

729
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: that after the game I had John Smolts signed the ball. Oh.

730
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: I still have it to this day, and I bring

731
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 1: it up to maybe every other time I see him,

732
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: and he's not too thrilled about it. Yeah, you normally

733
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: don't get a baseball signed. It'd be like if you

734
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 1: picked off Tom Brady and you said, Tom, would you

735
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: autograph this? I can't imagine you imagine if you homered

736
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: off Randy Johnson and you said, hey, Randy, would you

737
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: be willing to sign this? You know, the next time

738
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: you got up to the plate, I hear you. But

739
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 1: I've already said. The thing is that I that does

740
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: happen with Brady, and I need you to dig on

741
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 1: that and the other part of his that I didn't

742
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: get the chance to hit the homer off Randy because

743
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 1: he drew me in the ribs anyway, So yeah, so

744
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: I got the repercussion of getting hit by Rand. I

745
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: guess I could have had him signed that ball. What

746
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: did it feel like? I still feel it. It was.

747
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: It was ninety seven two seamer and it was opening

748
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: day maybe two thousand and three. I tried a bunt

749
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: and then the ball went foul, and one Pierre always

750
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: told me said, hey, man, if you try to bunt

751
00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: off Randy. He's like the Nolan Ryan guy, where if

752
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: you bunt, you better make it fair because if you don't,

753
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: the next one's going to be near ribs. And I

754
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: sweared Danny. It was like he's up there with this

755
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 1: big black glove right under his eyes and you got

756
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 1: that visual and I think it was I swear it

757
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: was like the top gun radar lock right on my

758
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 1: ribs and I can just sense it. And then it

759
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 1: was a heat seeking ninety seven two seamer just running

760
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: right into my ribs. So it, like I said, man

761
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 1: it it hurt pretty pretty bad, but I stayed in

762
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: the game. Why is that okay? Hey? In baseball, I

763
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: think it's okay because Randy's Randy, Nolan's Nolan, Roger was Roger,

764
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: and I think Pedro's page. I think part of it

765
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 1: is like the fear of the baseball for the pitcher

766
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: is everything, and so guys are kind of very bonds

767
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: up with the big old elbow guards and they got

768
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,959
Speaker 1: the protection all over the place, and you know, that's

769
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,400
Speaker 1: still games and the ship. I still believe that you've

770
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 1: got to be able to control pitching inside commanding it.

771
00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,359
Speaker 1: But I think at times you know, to get hit

772
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: once in a while, it's part of the game. The

773
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: Dodgers will win the World Series if we play a

774
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 1: full season and there is a postseason. Wait, we are

775
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: winning the World Series in twenty twenty two, so I

776
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: know where you're going with that. No, what do you

777
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,240
Speaker 1: win the World Series this year? Put it on record.

778
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: You are winning the World Series. We are winning the

779
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: World Series. That's our focus, that's our goal. Um. But

780
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: to your question, we are winning the World Series if

781
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: if um our starting staff stays healthy. I know that's vague,

782
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: but I don't want to and then that's my answer. Okay,

783
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: but you're you can dig in a little bit on that.

784
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: But I think it's about our starting kitchen, you know,

785
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: just keeping our guys healthy. Okay, where do you rank

786
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: your rotation in baseball? Our rotation in baseball? I put us,

787
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,959
Speaker 1: I put us somewhere in the I put us somewhere

788
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: in the top ten. Okay, who has the best rotation

789
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: in baseball? I would say, Um, And I would say

790
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: right now, for me, I think the Mets do what

791
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: may to Graham so special. Um, the velocity, the command,

792
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 1: the glove side, command of his fastball, his ability to

793
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: pitch up in the zone. Um, there's a there's a

794
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: breaking ball in there, there's a change up in there. Um,

795
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a great throw. It's just

796
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: hard to pick up from what I hear. Um, But

797
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: I think that glove side command coming in on left

798
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: handers up and end that quadrant up and away to

799
00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: the right hand there. It's just tough to tough to

800
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: barrel up. You see the best picture in the game.

801
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: If you look at sheer kind of numbers, I would say,

802
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: it's hard to debate. Um, but the body of work

803
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 1: that our guy Walker Bueller should be in that conversation.

804
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: So you're guaranteeing that you're going to win the World

805
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: Series this year, I'm putting you know, I'm putting it

806
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: out there, putting it in the universe. Well, you should

807
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,479
Speaker 1: believe in your team. I mean if you said, well,

808
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: you absolutely should, right. I mean, it's nothing like here.

809
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're placing a bet and you could

810
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: lose a limb if you don't win the World Series.

811
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, And I'm not rooting against you

812
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 1: or I you know, I would bet you just for

813
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: content sake. On the show. But I mean I don't know,

814
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: like we could bet wine. But you know, I love

815
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: your wine. I don't have any wine, so you yeah,

816
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: I did too. I went to dinner with our buddy Ted,

817
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: so we got to get you some more some more wine.

818
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,000
Speaker 1: So Ted's my guy, he's your guy, and we need

819
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: to do a little wine deal. So we got to

820
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:47,040
Speaker 1: replenish your wine stash. I am the Jacob deGrom of

821
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: wine drinking. Yeah, I love that. Just letting you know,

822
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: just letting you know. I could be kershaw on year

823
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: to year because at my age, I am, you know,

824
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: day to day. But uh yeah, I by the way,

825
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: just so and Dave won't bring this up, but I'm

826
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: bringing it up. His his red stitch pino ninety three

827
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: points from Wine Spectator. It's it's great. Did you give

828
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: did you give your players your wine? So I've got some.

829
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 1: I've got a few cases and roots. So once we

830
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: break here we get to Dodger Stadium, I'm going to

831
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: take care of my guys. So we got a lot

832
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: of wine drinkers. Which it's just interesting because when I

833
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: came up there was all about the beer, and so

834
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: we got a lot of wine drinkers. So I gotta

835
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: I gotta share some of my red Stitch. Absolutely, and

836
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: you couldn't do that with the old Red Sox because

837
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: they would drink that prior to the game probably, So yeah, yeah,

838
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:45,760
Speaker 1: you're right, hey, but but Danny, you gotta have something

839
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: to call them the nerves man. So it wasn't wine

840
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: in two thousand and four. But whatever we drank it worked, right.

841
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:57,760
Speaker 1: Was it whiskey? It was whiskey. Yeah. Do you remember

842
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: the brand of whiskey? I don't. I don't, um, but

843
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,520
Speaker 1: I do know that you know, when it's like thirty

844
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 1: seven degrees and it's freezing and you're in Senway Park,

845
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:13,399
Speaker 1: your backs against the wall, um, whatever, everything's on the table. Hey.

846
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: If I was facing Marianna Rivera I'd probably drink too. Oh. Absolutely,

847
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: Kevin Mlaar had it right. He was. He was a

848
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: man way ahead of his time. Hey. Great to talk

849
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 1: to us always, and thanks for joining us. Hopefully we'll

850
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: talk soon. All right, DP, take care of you the best.

851
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,400
Speaker 1: That's Dave Roberts, Dodgers manager, and a great wine. It's

852
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: called red Stitch. Had it a couple of bottles of

853
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: red Stitch. Red Stitch the stitches on the baseball. You

854
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: see what I did with them, Well, that's what he

855
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: did with them.
