WEBVTT - 01/13/21 DPS Hour 2 Nate Burleson 0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.480 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.600 Sports Radio our two on this Wednesday, Come on an 0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.080 stay a while, Dan and the Dann stan Patrick Show. 0:00:09.360 --> 0:00:12.160 Say good morning to our radio and TV partners, also 0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:15.880 those on chat row. Nate Burrelson on from the CBS 0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.520 Pregame Show, we'll join us. He was also part of 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:23.680 Nickelodeon's broadcast of the football game the Bears and the Saints. 0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.200 He'll join us coming up as well. We'll talk some basketball, 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:31.880 the disappearance of Kyrie Irving and the disgruntled James Harden. 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.040 Chris Mannocks from Sports Illustrator will join us coming up. 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.839 By the way, it's already started that we have been 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:43.160 lauding Davante Smith, the Alabama wide receiver, National title winner, 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.920 Heisman Trophy winner. USA Today is the first to decide 0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:53.520 that there are some issues with Davante Smith. Buyer beware. Now, 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:58.120 would you guys like to guess the five parts of 0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:03.000 this article that deal with questions you have about Davonte Smith. 0:01:03.520 --> 0:01:07.360 Paul what is too slight slash skinny for the NFL? 0:01:07.480 --> 0:01:10.360 Strength is listed his number two. He's six one, one 0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:17.399 seventy five six. Thank you. Pretty obvious that he needs 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:22.679 a few pounds and pro strength program will help. Okay, 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:26.400 anybody else want to guess one of the top five 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:30.560 issues concerns about drafting Davonte Smith McLevin How can he 0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:32.280 be the number two pick if he was the fourth 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.160 best receiver on his team as a junior. It doesn't 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:40.760 say that. It does say Alabama's history that Henry Ruggs, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.720 Jerry Judy first round this last year, Smith and Jalen 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.720 Waddle set to follow. And yet the way Smith is 0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.560 being portrayed today in some circles, you'd think that he's 0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.800 the second coming of Julio Jones. In terms of impact, 0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.120 he most definitely is not. This is according to USA Today. 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.400 USA Today goes on to say he might be Calvin 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:06.000 Ridley two point zero. All right, anybody else got an 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.880 issue with Davonte Smith seating O'Connor somehow? Do they question 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.480 his speed is more quick than fast? Oh? Good call. 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:20.400 Smith clearly has been more sufficient speed to succeed at 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:24.359 the next level and appears to effortlessly glide past college defenders. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:30.040 Does he have elite burst? Not sure, says USA Today. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.040 The Tyreek Hill comparisons I've heard make my head explode. 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.880 This isn't to shade Smith as a prospect, but let's 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.720 not assume he's going to blow through NFL secondaries or 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:46.079 have the same effectiveness in short areas against pro defenses. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.560 Does anybody have another one here? Yes, Pauli. The league 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:56.160 already has a star wide receiver named Davanta Davante Adams. Okay, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.800 now that's not one of them, yes, DoD What about 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.280 his footwork and the double move? Other than just being 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.200 a burst of speed, their concerns about his actual No, 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:10.920 durability is also in there. Durability, yes, Seaton. Is his 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:16.400 tape better than he tests? No? Here's the last one? 0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:22.520 Batman or Robin questioned Mark, how quickly we forget the 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.920 twenty nineteen bullet nikof winner. Jamar Chase of LSU will 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:30.120 be in the upcoming NFL draft after opting out of 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.520 the twenty twenty season. He had twenty touchdown catches, the 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.920 SEC record Smith just broke in twenty nineteen with eighty 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:41.960 four catches, and by most accounts, including Tiger's teammates I 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.720 talked to at the twenty twenty NFL scouting combine, Chase 0:03:44.760 --> 0:03:50.520 played LSU's batman role to Justin Jefferson's Robin Jefferson, by 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.600 the way, just had an incredible year for the Vikings. 0:03:55.080 --> 0:03:57.280 USA Today goes on to say, maybe the Dolphins should 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.040 consider Smith with the third overall pick. He could slide 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.360 into the number two role opposite Davante Parker and on 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.400 that stument too many devantes. DeVante Parker brings in Harry 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:15.880 Crimson chemistry with quarterback to a Tonga violone. USA Today 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.760 goes on to say, but if I'm another receiver needy 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.000 team picking in the top half of the first round, 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.359 the Jets at number two, the Eagles number six, Lines 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:28.160 number seven, Giants number eleven, Patriots number fifteen, Ben, I'm 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.840 definitely sending up the Batch signal. But this according to 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:34.760 USA Today, Yes, mclovin, I got another good one. I 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.880 don't think he had this. You could get at a 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.480 pro Bowl wide receiver in the second round. Look, it's 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.000 I have some second round quarter wide receivers the last 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:47.560 couple of years. AJ Brown for the Titans, Deebo, Samuel Chase, Claypool, 0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.560 Laviska Chennaul T. Higgins, Michael Pittman Jr. These guys all 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.640 went in the second round. They're all have amazing starts, 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.200 so why would you waste number two overall? Pick? I 0:04:57.240 --> 0:04:58.720 don't know if that's where they're going to pick him. 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:02.760 It seems to be picking. You know. I talked to 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:06.080 a source yesterday who would take Jamar Chase over Davante 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:10.200 Smith because we've seen Davante Smith and he performed on 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.560 a high level. He did everything you want him to do. 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:17.680 But my source said Jamar Chase, he thinks is better 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.240 suited for the NFL. And Jamar Chase sat out this 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.560 season with l shoe. We tend to love the shiny 0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:29.080 object that's new. And then if Davante Smith came back 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:31.520 for another year or played another year, then we would 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.040 find a way to nitpick. This is just the start 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:37.080 right now. He's he couldn't be hotter. But we've run 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.600 out of things to say. So what happens is we 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.520 built you up. Now we have to tear you down 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:46.080 a little bit. But this is is this Nate Davis 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.560 who wrote this? McLevin? Do we know who wrote now? 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:50.719 He's like an NFL writer for them. Yeah, does a 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.039 solid job. I think he may be playing Devil's advocate 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.840 a little. Yes, well you have to do this because 0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.920 what else can you say, boy, he's explosive. Boy, he 0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:04.400 reminds me of Tyree Hill. Boy. He's great in space. 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:07.960 Like all of these things, he's going to be a star, 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:11.880 a great team player. I don't know. We've run through 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.920 all of these things. Now you go, Okay, now let's 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.560 look if he really can be great? Is the explosive 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:25.120 he lacks strength? Is he gonna lack durability? I don't know. 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:31.000 He didn't miss any games, did he? Alabama's history of 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:34.800 wide receivers. I don't know about Rugs, and I don't 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.360 know about Jerry Judy. But it's only been one year here. 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.479 I do know Calvin Ridley has had a couple of 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:44.000 pretty good years in Atlanta. Now he's opposite Julio Jones. 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.680 Amari Cooper. I'm not a big Amari Cooper fan, but 0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:52.200 Amari Cooper has, you know, gotten a big contract with 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:55.720 the Cowboys? Batman or Robin? Can he be the stars? 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.000 He a number two wide receiver? Okay, I'd be curious 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.920 about that, but this is in college. He went from 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.360 being Robin to batman and won the Heisman Trophy. Everybody 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:12.320 knew he was getting the ball, everybody knew. Still couldn't stop, 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.920 so something should be said about that. And he was 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:19.720 going against a defensive back with Ohio State and Sean Wade, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:23.040 who's going to be a first round draft pick. He 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.720 goes against Patrick Certen probably in practice, who is going 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.520 to be the first corner off the board and may 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.320 go top five. So I'm guessing he's sort of ready 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.280 for this. As far as the durability, I understand it. 0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:41.400 You gotta catch him to do, you know, to you know, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.600 put a hit on him. As far as explosive, that 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.040 one I found interesting because I have not seen many 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.360 players when they turned the corner and you have the 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.360 angle and he still outruns everybody. And he did that 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.280 against Ohio State. He'd done that against everybody. The explosiveness, 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.520 that top end speed is what makes him. It separates 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.000 him literally from everybody else. He gets to top end 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:11.880 speed faster than almost any receiver I've seen in recent history. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.040 Now I'm not talking about John Ross who ran a 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.000 four two forty. I mean he's I'm talking about a 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.280 football player, not a guy who is a track guy. 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.080 This is a guy who gets top end speed when 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:26.360 he's running with the football. A lot of guys have 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.320 top end speed, but they got to get the football first. Yeah, Paul, 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.480 Sometimes I wish the NFL Draft were on January tenth, 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.440 just to see what would happen on January tenth compared 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.079 to April twenty third. It just feels like it's so 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.120 far away and so much is going to change. Yeah, 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.840 people at free agency, et cetera, et cetera. Uh, let's 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:47.520 see what else do I have you? So I just 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.440 I brought that up, and it won't be the first 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.600 time that we look at the negatives. This is what 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.600 I've said, and I continued to say it, and I'll 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.120 continue to say it when I stopped doing this, John, 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.520 don't talk yourself out of something. Don't look at the negative, 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:06.880 because if the positive overwegs the negative, then don't worry 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:10.840 about the negative. Can he get better? Bigger? Yes? Can 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.719 he get stronger? Yes? I mean that's what you look at. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:17.680 Look at the frame that he has seventy five? Can 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.800 he get better? Could he? Do you want him to 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.599 get bigger? Now that's another thing. How much bigger do 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:26.959 you want him to get? Is the explosive? Yes, he 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:31.680 was batman at Alabama when he was robbing the year before, 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.360 and you saw what happened when he got center stage. 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:37.320 He was not afraid they went to him. You knew 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.480 he was getting it and he did damage to you. 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.600 But I would look at the positives here. Do I 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.760 want to take him that high? I'd rather not, but 0:09:46.960 --> 0:09:49.760 that might be the going rate top five for Davante Smith. 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.360 I'm just going to tell you you forget about Jamar Chase, 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.240 who was considered better than Justin Jefferson, who had fourteen 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.240 hundred yards for the Vikings this year. If Jamar Chase 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:06.240 went out last year, he's a top ten pick. We 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:09.160 didn't see him all this year. But I'm just I 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.679 throw that out because this is get ready for this 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.240 the next couple of weeks, a couple of months leading 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:18.720 up to the NFL Draft, and with no combine this 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.200 year at least it looks like we probably won't. Then 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.840 you have even more mystery that will surround these, uh 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.360 these draft picks. Yes mcclem, Yeah, I just put up 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.000 Jamar Chase's game. Luck. I forgot he had two twenty 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.040 one in that title game against Clemson. Yeah, which was 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:34.400 the first half for devote to spit. But still, yeah, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.840 I mean they're look, they're both great. It feels like 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:41.200 Jamar Chase. He was the best wide receiver last year. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.960 It just he didn't play this year. And because of that, 0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:46.839 you know, out of sight, out of mind. Yeah, I 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.560 m club and Kyle Pitts is a different breed, right. 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:53.920 We're not putting him because he's like a tight end. Yes, 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:56.040 I could see him going like eight or nine because 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.000 like like TJ. Howkinson went there. I don't think he's 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.840 a pure tight end though. No, there's a Chase Claypool 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:05.079 feel to him. But I will say Pitts is tough. 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:11.240 Pits is tough, and it felt like that was the 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.439 life preserver for Kyle Trask when he needed a big play, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.160 he found Pitts. Yeah, mclev. Do you remember when receiver 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.000 rookie receivers weren't good back in like fantasy football, there 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.320 was a role never take a rookie receivers. Now, like 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.920 these guys are all like A. J. Browns in his 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:29.640 second year and he was dominant Titans. Yeah, it's I 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:33.000 think we focus on the quarterbacks are ready to go 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.400 right away, and we're finding there are receivers who are 0:11:36.440 --> 0:11:38.640 ready to go right away. But it used to be 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:41.960 I didn't want a receiver in the first round, because 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.000 the draft was littered with first round draft picks at 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:49.000 wide receiver who failed. Now it feels like if you 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.520 get somebody who is in the right system with the 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.840 right coach in college, then they're ready to make that 0:11:54.880 --> 0:11:58.760 transition because a lot of these college quarterbacks, these coaches, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:02.400 they're they're running a pro style offense here that you're 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:05.040 letting the quarterback have a little bit more leeway at 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:07.520 the line of scrimmage. You know, your wide receivers have 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.760 to read coverage here. It's a little bit different. Yeah, Paul, 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.560 it always felt like McLellan said that eighties nineties wide 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.720 receivers that were rookies came in kind of thin. They 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.040 didn't look like grown men. A J. Brown, I mean, 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:20.360 he looks like a twenty seven year old jack guy 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.679 coming in Day one, DK Metcalf, Claypool, all these guys. 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:25.800 But I can't put my hands on you now as 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.800 much back then they can manhandle you. Yeah, that's why 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:30.560 I didn't let you off the line of scrimmage. And 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.680 if I did, I've already disrupted the timing of all 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.520 of this. I mean, if I put you in the 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.280 slot and I give you like a two or three 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:43.240 yard headstart. It's tough to kind of hit a moving 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:48.160 target here and slow him down. But you know, that's 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.400 just starting now where we start to look at these 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.360 players and then you know, we start to bring him 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.040 down a notch or two. And that's going to happen 0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:57.920 with Trevor Lawrence. Somebody's gonna look at Trevor Lawrence and say, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:02.600 here are some negatives there. It's going to happen because 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:06.400 you'll read that. You have to understand this business. If 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.480 everybody says nice things about everybody all the time, after 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.840 a while, you go, there's nothing that's you know, capturing 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:18.520 my attention. But how many people are contrarians in my business? 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:23.839 And you'll watch, you'll listen, you'll read and some are 0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:29.199 true contrarians and some are not. But look, that's their identity, 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.120 that's their game plan, and you know, good luck to them. 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.760 But that's what happens. Hey, you know, let me take 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.800 the other side. That's what happens with debate shows because 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.960 you can't go, hey, we both agree on this. Well, 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:46.720 what would happen at the Mothership is if you both agreed, 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.040 then you had to move on to something else, or 0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:54.959 are you willing to change your opinion, because that happened 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.000 too at the super Bowl in Miami many many years 0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:02.080 ago when I was there. We add Joe Thiseman and 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:07.120 Jim Kelly on set and we had a topic and 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:11.640 they both agreed and Thiseman said, all take the other side, 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.360 and then we had a segment there. Now did Joe 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:20.520 truly believe in that? No, But Joe knew the content that, Hey, 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.360 we're going to create something here where we go back 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.520 and forth. That's what happens on these shows because if 0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:28.720 you go, hey, what do you guys think of and 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.040 then you have a topic and then they go, oh, yeah, 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.800 you both agree, that's not good TV or good radio. 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.120 That's on letting you behind the curtain there. Yeah. Point 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.480 I briefly filled in on a morning show on a 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:45.040 popular sports network. It rhymes with schmold beizza. I'm not 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.600 going to give you the name of the show. But 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:49.240 they would actually talk to the two people on air, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.280 get their notes, and then assign them like a debate 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:54.520 class where one side of class is assigned to take, 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:56.800 the other side of the classes assigned to take, and 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.600 the two hosts were assigned their takes. They tried to 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.160 make it truistic. But if they couldn't do it, they 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.720 were assigned. Phone calls are welcome. Age seven seven three 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:09.600 DP show. Nate Burlson, former NFL wide receiver, should have 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:13.880 some interesting opinions on DeVante Smith. Everybody seems to have 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.960 one now. Chris Mannocks from Sports Illustrated and what's going 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.760 on with Kyrie Irving. If Kyrie doesn't want to play 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:24.640 and he has bigger goals, bigger issues that he wants 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.240 to be a part of, then that's fine. But he's 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:30.360 got to decide who he wants to be. Do you 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.880 want to be a professional athlete, then be professional and 0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:37.120 if not, then whatever you want to do. He was 0:15:37.160 --> 0:15:40.320 on a zoom call last night, had to do with 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:46.920 a district attorney running for election, and it had Ka 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.040 l I think it was Ka l Irving, it was 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:55.280 Cal Irving. And he's up there with like, there's twenty 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:59.040 five people on this call and this is during the 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:04.880 Nets game, and Kyrie is there, I guess, weighing in 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:13.920 on this politician. That's why I understand. If you want 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:16.000 to be part of this, then be part of this. 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:21.040 But you can't do both if you have larger goals 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:24.040 than just being a professional athlete. Then that's fine. But 0:16:24.160 --> 0:16:29.400 he already disrespected Steve Nash when before he even got 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:31.480 Steve Nash got there, he's like, we don't need a 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.800 head coach. We got a bunch of head coaches here. 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:37.920 All right, you've already disrespected Steve Nash. Now you walk 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.560 that back a little bit after he was told you 0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:44.920 probably should walk that back, not before blaming the media. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:51.040 But the Nets need him, and then that's why the 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:54.720 Nets are quiet about this. They're tiptoeing around this. But 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.960 if you're on a zoom call that has to do 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:02.000 with politics or policy, don't do it when the Nets 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:08.200 are planning. Like yes, at least Harden showed up sort 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:13.000 of and then basically had his exit interview. It felt 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.119 like where he's like, Hey, I love this city, but 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:17.440 I can't do anything and it's a messed up situation here. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:21.200 I'm out of here. Ze all right, thanks James. Yeah, Paul, 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.959 we're about two weeks away from Kyrie streaming a pickup 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.119 game in Brooklyn during a Nets game, like he'll be 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.040 out at the court and during the same exact time 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.440 he'll be playing pickup with the Hobble fans or he'll 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:33.120 be doing Uncle Drew two or something. I don't know, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.680 but you know, I've been told by two people I trust. 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.880 They're like, you know, he's gotten legitimate reasons why he's 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.480 not showing up there, And I go, okay, just tell 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:48.240 me the legitimate reason. Just give us an idea. Be professional. Yeah. See, 0:17:48.600 --> 0:17:50.479 the team doesn't seem to be all that bothered by 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:54.160 well I think they're nervous about saying too much maybe, 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:56.960 but I mean the media is certainly bothered. They really 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.240 can't stand this. But the team is kind of like, yeah, 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.280 he'll be back when he back, no big deal. But 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.640 the media is like, we need to know right now 0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:08.240 where is he? Well, I do want to know now 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.359 where he is. And then if you say he's going 0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.200 to take extra time off, all right, fine, he owes 0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.200 it to Steve Nash to be professional and the nets 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:19.600 to be professional, because the last I looked, he's still 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:25.159 getting paid, still getting paid. Now, if he says you 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.600 don't pay me, I'm gonna take some time off, okay, 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.639 that's fine, But he's still on the clock getting paid, 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:37.399 getting paid an awful lot of money. And you know, 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.840 same with James Harden. You want out, you created this 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:45.080 and now you want out of what you created. We'll 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:47.720 talk to Mannix about that coming up. Your phone calls 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.040 are welcome. We got our poll question mclevland, and we're 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:52.639 staying with that for the second hour. Yeah, so would 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.840 you take trade offers if you're the Houston Texans seventy? Yes, 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.959 But if you go there, it's the point of no return. 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.240 Like you go down the one way street, you can't go. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.720 We want to make a U turn here. Yeah, I'm 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.800 a club. I have a coaching Paul, given everything, mean, 0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.200 why don't you wait? Yeah, okay, it's a coaching philosophy, Paul, 0:19:14.240 --> 0:19:15.719 I'll say it. All right, let me let me, let 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:18.040 me take a break, and maybe it's a question that 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:22.280 we ask Nate Burlson. All right. Twenty one twenty one 0:19:22.320 --> 0:19:26.119 after the hour. This is the Dan Patrick Show. I 0:19:26.160 --> 0:19:28.879 gave Seaton a mission yesterday. I think it was yesterday. 0:19:29.440 --> 0:19:31.480 I said, I told you one thing that I needed 0:19:31.520 --> 0:19:33.679 to have done. Right. Do you remember what it was? 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:38.680 Of course I do. See that's the problem. That's why 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.560 I don't have any built bars in here. Of Course 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.080 I remember that you needed. I know. I didn't run 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:45.399 out to the store and get them. I sent the 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.040 note to the person that was like, hey, can we 0:19:47.040 --> 0:19:49.399 get more built bars? But they unfortunately, you know what 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:53.280 I should have said, can you overnight Dan some built bars? Yes? 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:57.000 Because they sent them, and being the generous host that 0:19:57.119 --> 0:20:00.720 I am, the philanthropic person that I am, I left 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:02.919 them in the mail room for everybody to sim It 0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:05.600 wouldn't matter. We would have found him. No, because Todd 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.760 took the whole thing home. Yes he did. But there's 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:13.920 eighteen amazing flavors and they're they're good for you. It's protein, 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:16.679 and why not eat something that's good for you that 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.520 actually taste good.

I had a friend who former 0:21:17.119 --> 0:21:19.960 NFL player. He realized that we were have Nate Burlson 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.720 on He goes, you got to ask Nate about buying 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.320 fake jewelry, and I go, wait, Nate bought fake jewelry? Yeah, 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.960 he goes, Yeah, he spent money in his first contract, 0:21:29.119 --> 0:21:31.600 and I think he bought a car, maybe he bought 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:35.520 his parents something. But he bought fake jewelry because he thought, well, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.200 nobody would know that you had fake jewelry, because hey, 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:41.240 you're a pro and you're making some good money here. 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.400 You're being smart with your money. Nate Burlson on Loan 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.679 from CBS Sports, also Nickelodeon, Nate' is that true that 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:52.480 you had fake jewelry with your first contract? Yes, that 0:21:52.640 --> 0:21:55.080 is very true. First, let me say thanks for having 0:21:55.080 --> 0:21:58.200 me on. I appreciate it. Yeah, definitely. When I first 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.359 got in the league, there were priorities, and it was 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:04.880 paying down certain bills that my mother and father had, 0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:07.960 making sure that we were secure in a couple of 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:10.520 homes that I wanted to buy for them, you know, 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.120 make sure my wife was taken care of. And then 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:15.919 when it came to me, I knew that I wanted jewry, 0:22:16.600 --> 0:22:20.080 but I also wanted jewelry more for the look of it. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.880 And I was buying jewelry because I thought it looked 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.800 cool on me. So in my first contract, I was 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.560 going down to New York or any bootlegs swamp me 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:33.240 and give me something shiny that you couldn't tell the 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.560 difference if it was real or fake. Now, at thirty nine, 0:22:37.960 --> 0:22:40.000 you know, I buy jewelry for different reasons. I don't 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.879 buy it because I want people to see it. I 0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:44.160 buy it because I really like it. And I think 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.040 that's the difference between young Nebe Broson and old neb Broson. 0:22:47.520 --> 0:22:50.120 At this age. Whenever I buy it, I do it 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:52.320 for myself, and most of the time I buy it 0:22:52.600 --> 0:22:54.520 not to wear it, just so I can have it. 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.240 And I appreciate it. You should go to the rookie 0:22:57.280 --> 0:23:00.480 symposium and tell those rookies, Hey, you're gonna get money, 0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:04.360 do the right thing for your family, but save your money. 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:07.440
