WEBVTT - BestOf 0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:03.640 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.840 Sports Radio. I was walking over to my side of 0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:10.000 the man cave and I overhear Seaton O'Connors say to 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:13.520 the other Dan Ance, do you think Steve Kerr's overrated? 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:17.600 And I went, Wow, that's a bomb show. Yeah, seton, 0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:19.920 I think I said, do you think Steve Kerr's overrated 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.640 or underrated? Oh? I didn't hear the under Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.640 I said overrated or underrated? If you had to pick one, Oh, okay, 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:29.960 maybe a pull question. All right, is Steve Kerr underrated 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.120 or overrated? Did you know that he's missed a couple 0:00:33.120 --> 0:00:36.720 of games coaching? Like what other sport can you miss 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:39.320 a playoff game as a coach or a manager? And 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.640 you go, no big deal, it'll be good Mike Brown 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.800 the interim head coach. But Steve Kerr, Steve Kerr's going 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.800 to the Hall of Fame. Now, you might say he 0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.479 inherited a pretty good roster. No, you can say he 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:56.400 inherited a pretty good roster. You got Steph Curry, you 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.720 got Clay Thompson and Draymond Green. Although at the time 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.279 when he got those players, we didn't know that they 0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.040 were going to turn out to be hold of famers. 0:01:04.080 --> 0:01:06.520 I think there was still a question mark with Steph 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.360 Curry with his ankle, is he going to be able 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:14.160 to withstand the rigors of the NBA. But Steve Kerr 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:18.320 has done pretty well taking over Mark Jackson's team. Yeah, seton. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.960 Some people call that being born on third. On third, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.640 I don't know if that's fair, but but he did 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.120 well on third. Yes, he's done very well on third. Okay, yes, points. 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.959 Steve Kerr showed up with the Warriors in twenty fifteen. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:34.200 I think that was his first ever coaching job, right, 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:36.920 he was a GM Yes with Phoenix Son. So his 0:01:37.040 --> 0:01:41.160 first ever coaching job was Curry Durant Curry those guys. 0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:43.720 He was sixty seven to fifteen his first year. Okay, 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:48.520 seventy three wins next year. Okay, it's not supposed to 0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.800 be that easy. But he was also an assistant coach 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:54.480 with Greg Popovich for quite a few years. He also 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:58.360 was with Michael Jordan with the Bulls. How many championships 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.320 does he have? How many? How many titles was he 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.360 a part of as a player, assistant coach and a 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.480 head coach as Hunt? I know five as a player 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.680 three as a coach. That's eighth right there. Ready, how 0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.920 many as an assistant coach. I'm gonna guess he won 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.640 a couple with the San Antonio Spurs, so he's decorated. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:22.200 Is he overrated or underrated? Yeah? You could say he's 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.760 very good at keeping the drama down out there. It 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.359 seems like he keeps things cool, supports his players to 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.640 the hilt, and that's a big part of managing a team, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.000 not coaching a team. Well, I also think you learned 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:37.639 from Popovic and Phil Jackson on how to handle stars 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.280 and Phil. I mean you could look at Phil and 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:44.520 go he's pretty lucky. He lucked into the Bowls, you know, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:46.680 when they fired Doug Collins and all of a sudden, 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.160 you inherit, Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan. That's pretty good. 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.320 And then he hand picked the Lakers. It's like Shack 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.320 and Kobe. Uh. I think I can make those guys champions. Yeah. Seton, 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.480 it's a great point about being able to keep drama 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:04.040 down because just bringing in a player like Kevin Durant 0:03:04.040 --> 0:03:06.200 and then having him leave right away, the amount of 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:08.440 drama that really must have been going on there, and 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.040 it really only kind of simmered, it never really boiled. Yeah, 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.600 I think we're starting to hear dribs and drabs of 0:03:14.680 --> 0:03:17.280 what exactly was going on at the time, and Draymond 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:20.720 Green and Kevin Durant and you know, they recruited him 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.000 to come and play with them, and then he leaves 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:24.880 and then there's a little bit of bad blood there. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:29.600 But is Steve Kerr underrated or overrated? I guess I'm 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.880 going to say he's underrated with his ability to tap 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:35.960 into the talent that he had and make them even 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:42.280 better offensively, because defensively, people always underestimated the Golden State Warriors. Defensively, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.680 there were a good defensive team. I don't know where 0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:47.960 they rank now, but with Clay and Draymond, those are 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:53.120 really good defenders. Mark Jackson emphasized defense with that team. 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.760 Steve Kerr came in and said, we're going to emphasize 0:03:55.800 --> 0:04:00.680 offense and really changed the sport. Steph Curry change the sport. 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.680 But Steve Kerr realized what he had and I remember 0:04:03.760 --> 0:04:06.480 talking to Steve Kerr, I said, when did you give 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.880 Steph the green light? And he talked about, you know, 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:13.000 there was a moment where you just go he's taking them, 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.320 he's making those shots. It's one thing to take those shots, 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:18.240 it's another thing where you go, no, he's going to 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:22.000 make them. As a head coach, you probably are not 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.520 going that's part of our game plan. That's who we are, 0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:27.600 that's how we're going to play. But Steve Kerr, who 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.920 was a great outside shooter, had to embrace that at 0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:34.880 some point and just say, that's what coaches are. Control freaks, 0:04:35.400 --> 0:04:39.119 you know they you know, pat Riley famously would coach 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:45.080 every single possession, Mike Fortello every single possession. They would 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.480 just drain the joy out of the game. And it 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:52.040 got to the point where some of these coaches had 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:56.279 to allow their talent to just showcase their talent. And 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.840 I think that's what Steve Kerr is probably going to 0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:02.080 be remembered for that he won. He knew how to win, 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:04.880 he knew how to blend in. He played a great 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:09.799 role with Jordan's Bulls as an assistant coach. GM wise, 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:12.960 I don't think he was decorated. He got fined because 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.919 of one thing he said on this show when he 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:17.080 was GM of the Phoenix Suns having to do with 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:21.479 Lebron James. But what he's done now, because I think 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.880 you forget that they go to the finals. I mean, 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.760 how many times have they gone to the finals with 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:30.960 Steve Kerr and their favorite to go to the finals 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.720 this year basing the Dallas Mavericks. But I would say 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.719 he's probably a little underrated because this you know, we 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.800 talk about Golden State and we talk about the stars. 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.640 It's almost like Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson got credit, but 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:49.240 I think that was difficult to get that credit because 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:52.840 Michael was so omnipresent and it was like, yeah, this 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.000 is Michael Jordan coached by Phil Jackson. And then even 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.880 going to the Lakers, when you have that Marquis talent, 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.919 sometimes you get lost in the mix there. When you 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:07.640 have the plucky underdog team, then we talk about the coach. Wow, 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.359 they win forty one and forty one this year, What 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.279 an unbelievable job by that coach. But if you win 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.960 seventy three games, we tend to talk about the talent. Yeah. 0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:19.919 Here's Steve Kerr's playing career. He was known as a 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.280 clutch shooter, didn't start a lot of games, so it's 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.880 totally mostly a bench player. As somebody known as a 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.840 non clutch player, do they ever label them that there's 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.000 a guy this team was known as a not clutch player. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.720 In his last seven seasons in the league, Steve Kerr 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.719 won seven titles without starting one game in the regular 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.400 season or playoffs. He also left the Bulls when the 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:42.200 Bulls broke up, jumped over to the Spurs, got a title, 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.640 and then his last season the Pros before he retired. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.200 He got one more title with the Spurs. He ended perfectly. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.560 But his shooting percentage in the playoffs, he's like forty 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.920 five percent from three. Yeah, but how many of those 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:57.080 are contested? If you have Michael Jordan on your team, 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:00.560 odds are you're probably gonna get an open look. Saying, 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:05.320 but he won two as a role player with the Spurs. Yeah. 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.039 And then was he on Popovich's coaching staff after that? 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.280 Checking Okay, I just see him with the USA Basketball 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:16.080 with Popovitch twenty seventeen. I thought he was an assistant coach. 0:07:16.280 --> 0:07:18.040 And I remember when he was going to coach the 0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.600 Knicks and he turned down Phil Jackson. I went, wow, 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.040 he turned down the Knicks to coach the Warriors. He 0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:31.800 turned down Phil Jackson. Talk about a great decision. I mean, 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.600 you can say, hey, you kind of ended up on 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.400 third base with the Warriors, but he was smart enough 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:40.240 to say no to Phil Jackson. Welcome to the program. 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.720 As you can tell already in progress. We have basketball 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:47.280 coming up tonight, Eastern Conference Finals, Celtics at the Heat. 0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:51.040 Heat with a slight favorite going into this game, the 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:56.120 Lightning and Panthers, Blues and Avalanche. With Stanley Cup playoff action, 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.520 Tiger is good to go for the PGA. I was 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:03.000 watching the coverage yesterday on Golf Channel, and normally when 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:07.960 you're watching the you know the analysts looking at somebody analyzing. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:11.480 They're going to analyze their swing. You know, maybe they're putting, 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:16.920 but their swing. They were analyzing Tiger walking. Yeah, he 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.960 looks good. Hey, looks a lot more comfortable. Not as 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:24.520 measured as he was at Augusta. I don't know what 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:29.760 that means. Tiger looked good, you know, but the question 0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:33.840 is the heat is going to be an issue in Tulsa, Oklahoma. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.599 But he is walking better, and I think that was 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.120 the big issue. Wasn't his swing. I think he got tired. 0:08:39.360 --> 0:08:42.080 I think he got tired the last two days at Augusta, 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.640 and you know, those scores showed it. If but that's 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:48.240 a tough course to walk. This will have the heat 0:08:48.280 --> 0:08:51.679 as well, and I think that'll be interesting to see 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.320 Tiger and the durability if he's able to keep that 0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.360 up for four rounds eight seven seven three d P 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.160 Show email address DP A Damn Patrick dot com Twitter 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:04.080 handle a dp's show our stats of the day, brought 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:06.520 to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:09.080 the DP show.

Reggie Miller. A little 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:48.679 later on Mike Florio on the curious meeting between the 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:52.880 NFL and to Shaun Watson this week. Don't know if 0:09:52.880 --> 0:10:00.360 it's an investigation, a meeting introductory chat here, but we'll 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:03.880 talk to Florio about that. Also, if the Broncos are 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:05.960 going to be worth four and a half billion dollars, 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:10.920 what are the downloads Cowboys worth ten? We'll talk to 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.920 Florio about some of these items here. The Broncos still 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:16.400 up for sale. See, you got a poll question for me? 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.360 Do we want to Oh, you're gonna go? How about 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:22.160 I'm just I'm just asking because I don't want to 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:24.880 be insulting. I don't I don't mean to insult someone 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:26.400 has been a very good friend of the show. But 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.320 it's kind of a fun topic. So is Steve Kerr 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.560 underrated or overrated? We could do that, we could do 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:38.040 Uh well, here's another one. Okay, this is again. It's 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.000 not meant to be insulting to anyone. No, that means 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:42.959 it's from PAULI and it's meant to be insulting. I 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.440 don't think it is from Paul okay, who's had a 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:50.920 luckier coaching career, luckier Steve Kerr, Phil Jackson. That's you 0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.920 don't pin this on me. I'm just saying there's a 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.800 real there's a real skill or an art to being 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:02.240 in the right place at the right time. You know, 0:11:02.320 --> 0:11:04.640 you can be a really good coach, but if you 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.160 don't have the players, it doesn't matter. Having had Jerry 0:11:08.240 --> 0:11:13.360 Krauss in Chicago and Jerry West in Los Angeles, boy, 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:17.080 that can really help a coach out. And give credit 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.840 to the Golden State Warriors. They draft aside from James Wiseman, 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:26.080 they draft really good players. I mean, Klay Thompson was 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.160 not a household name at Washington State, Draymond Greene was 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.080 a curiosity at Michigan State, Steph Curry was undersized, and 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:35.959 who's he going to garden the NBA? Well, that all 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.040 worked out. I got to give credit to the front 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.720 office for doing some heavy lifting there as well. Yes, Seed, Okay, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:49.280 how about this? This one is not for me. Sports 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:53.280 where the head coach slash manager is least necessary on 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.600 game day. Three options that were presented are baseball, basketball, 0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.959 in football. I think I know which one's going to 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.920 last in that, but football, you gotta have your coach 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.560 there on game day. It feels like these most necessary. Yeah, yes, Okay. Now, 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:09.240 over the past two years, we've seen a lot of 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.920 coaches out mostly due to COVID, but we've seen actual 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:15.000 games in the NFL. Let's say the coach is not 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:18.280 calling the plays. What is the head coaching head coach 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:21.120 doing if he's not calling the plays during an NFL game, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:24.200 I'm sure he's doing things, but I'm a guessing they 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:27.560 could miss him for a day. Well, I think you're 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.920 sort of bringing in information from your different coaches there, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.959 and I think if somebody says something like, hey, we're 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.120 going to do this or this is the approach. You know, 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:41.719 Belichick famously changes his game plan during a game. He 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:45.800 changes quarter to quarter, half to half. I don't know 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.320 how many coaches do that. I know Belichick probably gets 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.520 too much credit there. You know, he takes away your 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:53.520 biggest weapon. Yep, He's the only coach who's ever thought 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.319 of this. Don't they ever say to somebody like, hey, 0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.440 you took away their best weapon. It's always you know 0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.320 what Belich check does. He takes away your best weapon. 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:06.080 Do you think any other coaches go, uh, we'd do 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.600 the same damn thing. Yes, Ton, Yes, like you would 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.760 think maybe we should double team that guy in basketball 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.040 he seems to be scoring fifty points. Well, no, I 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.319 rail against that. There are times when I go, they're 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:21.120 gonna let this guy take the game winning shot, and 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.880 then he makes the game winning shot, and then afterwards 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.520 people go, oh my god, how'd you let him take 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.640 the game winning shot? Yeah? Point, but a football coach 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.960 doesn't really handle the substitutions. The substitutions are based off 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.600 prescheduled plays and packages, So he's not like, man, should 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.920 I put in Johnson Smith is really cold? Basketball coaches 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.480 have to make decisions about players going in and out. 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:44.760 Those are made up names. On thank you, I put 0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:49.880 in Johnson Smith is called Yeah, it's a dramatic license. Yeah, 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:52.199 but Steve Kerr missed a couple of games. I didn't 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.920 hear anybody say anything. The fair point, it's very point 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.480 Steve Kerr didn't coach, which is the whole jumping off 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.400 point gainst topic. Yes, it's like Steve Kerr overrated or underrated, 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:05.319 and people think baseball managers are just there to go 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.880 humby a little being over yet, well no, they do 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:16.280 have to overmanage. Like day, you know, managers overmanage. I'm 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:19.320 not sure how many coaches over coach in today's game, 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.240 whereas you know, a baseball manager is gonna go, m 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:26.120 gonna have to make make a call to the bullpen. 0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.360 And then somebody comes in and faces one battern. You 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.040 go up, yep, I'm gonna have to go to the 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.360 bullpen again. Let me go argue this one. I'm gonna 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:38.000 thrown out for the boy, yea ye, yes, yeah, I 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:41.280 don't know that the and plus was it Joe Girardi? 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.320 Who has the book? Doesn't he have like a big binder? 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.720 I think it was Joe Girardi. He would like have 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.520 a big binder and it had it like every scenario 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.680 you could possibly go to, and he would let's go 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.280 to the binder and see what we're supposed to do 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:55.160 here where there's you know, two men on two out 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:56.680 in the seventh and we got a lefty face and 0:14:56.680 --> 0:14:59.800 a righty if Johnson gives it up, bringing Smith right? Yes, 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.320 what's the hockey coach doing? What's the lines are established? 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.720 After this number of the line two comes down? This 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:07.480 guy has come down, the line three comes down? What 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.040 are you doing during it? Go get the puck, that's 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.600 the puck. Go get it well on the net, Get 0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.720 in the net. You missed it, Get in the net. 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:18.960 Thank you? Check him, check hit him him the boards. Yes, 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:21.680 it's a fair point. I would assume in hockey. I 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.600 don't know what like hockey people do, that the Lions 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.920 changes are somewhat scheduled by time, and that you're like 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.080 a line two, take a break. You guys, done enough work. 0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:30.400 They're gonna go line three. And they're all like whole 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:32.560 surprise that they gotta make the decision to pull the 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:34.360 goalie Do they pull the goal? You gotta pull the goaling, 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.520 pull the goal now they're not gonna pull the goal. Yes, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.440 there are hockey fans right now listening to this whose 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:43.520 minds are exploded. They are like, oh my god, you 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:46.560 guys know nothing. You guys know nothing about this sport. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:50.520 Finally talking about hockey, and this is what you're gonna stay. 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:55.320 Hit in the net direct direct your criticism to Fritzie. 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:59.040 Go get the puck. It's the puck. Get the check him, 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:02.560 check and check it over the blue line there sinking icing. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:03.960 What are you keep hitting it all the way down 0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.920 the other rat Let's take a break. We came out 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.720 of the gate on fire. We crushed that segment. Take 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.440 a break, phone call, settle on a pull question Florio 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.560 a little bit later, on Reggie Miller A little bit 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.200 later on you got Celtics at the Heat and talking 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.120 about the Heat game one tonight.

Timmy's oh dang, really yeah next Tuesday. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.800 Next Tuesday, we'll be getting ready for our speech when 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:59.440 we win. And I thought, Okay, I don't know how 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.520 much time you get when you get up there, and 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.080 I don't want to get up there and talk. So 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.120 I said to the Dan Nuts that you guys can 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:08.560 give a speech, but we're probably gonna get sixty seconds. 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.640 And I just thought if everybody talks at the same time, 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.480 that might be funny. So all of a sudden, and 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:22.440 the winner is The Dan Patrick Show. Here to accept 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.600 the award.

You'll try to have a joke, 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.280 you'll do something. At the very end. You will have 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.400 the last word, which can go very well. Extremely it's 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.840 not gonna go well, which I'm used to. On stage, 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.399 Mike Florio joins US Pro Football Top Live co host 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.280 and that book Playmakers.

Mike, good to 0:18:17.880 --> 0:18:19.840 talk to you. How are you? And I'm doing great? 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.919 How are you? Uh? Guys, you can tell you know, 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.479 and we're preparing for our speech. But we see you 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.560 next week at the sports Himmies. Okay, I don't go 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:30.159 anywhere anymore. Okay, all right, it'd be nice to have 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:34.240 some support there. I'll support you from afar. Okay, A 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.280 the best I'm trying to believe Fritzie'll show up with 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:43.920 a limerick. Oh my god, Mike, Yeah, has been open 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:46.679 Todd he was kidding. Well, yeah, I think he was 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:51.440 telling telling you were kidding. I kidding. I'm kidding, Todd. Todd. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.080 That means he doesn't want you to show up with 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:55.760 a limerick. Todd, I didn't pick up on you. I 0:18:55.760 --> 0:18:57.760 thought he was encouraging me to write a limerick. You 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:01.000 can write a limerick. Thanks, go ahead, go ahead, I'm 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:02.800 on it. You can write a limerick, all right, Mike, 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.760 help me understand here. The NFL declines comments on the 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.800 report of a meeting with Deshaun Watson. Okay, tell me 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.600 what is supposed to be could be happening in this 0:19:13.840 --> 0:19:17.680 meeting between the two Well, this seems to be the 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:24.520 traditional meeting that the NFL would engage in interviewing, fact finding, questioning, challenging, 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:28.000 getting to the bottom of the allegations pending against DeShawn Watson. 0:19:28.000 --> 0:19:30.960 The Legg's habit Dan is to wait until the end 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:34.119 of the process to meet with the person who is 0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.639 accused of wrong doing. I don't think they have to 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.440 do that. They could meet with him multiple times that 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.919 they want to. And sometimes it's smart. You meet with 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.240 the accused, you find out some facts, you go back 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:45.600 to the accusers, you flush things out, You meet with 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.520 the accused again. The idea of putting all the eggs 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.080 in one basket and waiting until the end, I don't 0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:51.880 know that I agree with, but that's what the NFL does, 0:19:52.160 --> 0:19:56.040 And it tells me that at some point a decision 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:58.960 is coming. And when you look at the timeline, the 0:19:59.000 --> 0:20:00.840 next few months are going to go quickly. We're gonna 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:03.000 be in training camp in two months. The regular season 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.480 opener is seventeen weeks away. It's time for the NFL 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:08.520 to make some decisions. They like to delay making a 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:10.960 decision as long as they possibly can, but you got 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.119 the Browns trying to get people to buy single game tickets. 0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.760 I'd like to know before I give you my credit 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:18.600 card information for Cleveland Browns who the quarterback is going 0:20:18.680 --> 0:20:21.520 to be. And at some point the NFL just needs 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.800 to make a decision. And when you consider the procedure 0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:26.280 they have in place now, it's gonna take some time. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:28.399 And if they want to get this all buttoned up 0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:31.920 before week one, it's time to start making some decisions 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:34.080 about what they're gonna do about Deshaun Watson for twenty 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.960 twenty two. And this meeting tells me the next step 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.240 maybe Friday, Memorial Day weekend, a little bad news dump 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:42.720 in the afternoon coming up in about ten days. Maybe 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:44.800 that's when we find out what the league is planning 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.520 to do. Can Deshaun Watson and his lawyers say we're 0:20:47.560 --> 0:20:51.080 not going to cooperate, Well, they can, but it's not 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:53.520 going to go well for him. He's required to cooperate. 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:56.439 There's no Fifth Amendment protection, and if he chooses not 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:58.439 to cooperate, they'll go ahead and make their decision and 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:01.600 they'll use his refusal operate against him. It would be 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.320 along the same lines of the Tom Brady destroyed cell 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:09.280 phone from seven years ago. It would definitely enhance the 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.000 penalties if he says, I'm not talking to you now. 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:14.080 You pointed out by saying the league is not required 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:17.000 to wait until the twenty two cases are resolved before 0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:20.359 they suspend to Shaun Watson. Your guess is the league 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:24.520 will suspend him now with the possibility of suspending him 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:28.160 again later. Why do you know that that's a guess 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:33.439 because it allows them to deal with the facts as 0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:35.840 they currently understand them to be. And this is a 0:21:35.880 --> 0:21:38.800 guy who's accused by twenty two different people of wrong doing. 0:21:38.880 --> 0:21:41.920 This isn't one or two, this is twenty two. At 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.240 some point between one and twenty two, the standard, Well, 0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.520 you know, we need to hear both sides of this. Well, 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.840 it could be somebody who's out to get some at 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.119
