Welcome 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,840 Speaker 1: to the program, Dan and The Dans Dan Patrick Show. 8 00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: Some breaking news. Been a busy morning here. We'll edit 9 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: it out in the rear. Just fix it in post, yeah, 10 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: fix it in post here. Connecticut's football program has decided 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,599 Speaker 1: they're not going to play this year, and according to 12 00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: their athletic director, after receiving guidance from state and public 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: health officials and consulting with football student athletes, we've decided 14 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: that we will not compete on the gridiron this season. 15 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: The safety challenges created by COVID nineteen play or football 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: student athletes at an unacceptable level of risk. It's not 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: surprising that we have a school, or maybe we're gonna 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: have a couple of schools that do this. I don't 19 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: know if it's a harbinger of what's going to happen 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: with other schools, but as Connecticut announces that they're not 21 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 1: going to be playing football this year. The Big Ten 22 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: just announced that Big Ten is going ahead as scheduled. 23 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: They're going to have a full conference slate. The plan 24 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: is for the Big Ten to play ten game conference schedule, 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,919 Speaker 1: conference only, including nine current opponents in one additional cross 26 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,679 Speaker 1: division game. They're hoping to start the weekend of September fifth. 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: Final games will be slated for November twenty first, and 28 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: that will align with the academic calendars. Ten games would 29 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: be played over at least twelve weeks. They're going to 30 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: be two open dates for Big Ten schools. The schedule 31 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: is structured to maximize flexibility. Everybody has a bye week 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: November twenty eighth. They're still hoping to have the Big 33 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Ten title game as well. That would be the first 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 1: week and December, and that'll be in Indianapolis. They could 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: go as late as December nineteenth. Teams can begin preseason 36 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: practices on Friday, August seventh or earlier if permitted under 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: NCAA guidelines. There So that's what's happening this morning. In 38 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: the span of the last thirty minutes, well, Big Ten 39 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: announcing their plans for twenty twenty and Connecticut announcing they're 40 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: not playing football. Yes, boy, Dan, you grew up in 41 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: Ohio and the biggest sporting events of the year, and 42 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 1: where you grew up with what usually me on a 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: Friday night playing basketball against King's mill or than okay, 44 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: maybe a little product. Okay, Ohio State Michigan. What's the 45 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,839 Speaker 1: traditional time frame of Ohio State Michigan football game Thanksgiving weekend? Dan, 46 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: Ohio State Michigan this year will be played on Saturday, 47 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 1: October twenty fourth. It will not be the last game 48 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: of the Big Ten season. I'll be three weeks before 49 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 1: the last weekend of the year. Well that's disappointing. Yeah, 50 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: surprising too. Well, if they play, then I'm fine. I'm 51 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: not going to be I said, I was not going 52 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: to be picky. I was not going to be critical 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 1: if they play. Whenever they play, great. Did they bump 54 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: it up for that reason to ensure it gets played? 55 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: Bump it up three weeks? I don't know. I kept thinking, 56 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: do you move? Well, they're trying to fit this in 57 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: into the academic calendar for the students to be on campus. 58 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: They want to they want to limit the amount of 59 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,399 Speaker 1: time they're on campus. The best they can, and that's 60 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: why you have ten games over twelve weeks. Yes, m cleven, 61 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: But isn't that good because it let's Michigan possibly end 62 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: their season on a high note instead of Wait, we're 63 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: four and a half minutes into the show, Michigan ends 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: their season with Northwestern. But oh great, rich Isien can 65 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: have a nice moment in November. Wow, all right, welcome 66 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: to the program already in progress.

Yes, 73 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: Seeton O'Connor that you had mentioned earlier, dan Um, that 74 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: Yukon unfortunately won't be competing on the gridiron this year. 75 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Technically they weren't going to be competing on the gridiron 76 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: either way. Oh so wow, that's five minutes and twenty 77 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: seconds in. We've taken a shot at in Michigan and 78 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: uk Now the knock about to lose fifty six to three. 79 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: You can't come on Fritzie Rutgers. They had what twenty 80 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: five new positive tests there. I don't know how Rutgers 81 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: plays this year because you have states are also deciding 82 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: on the travel restrictions and if you come into a state, 83 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: how long do you have to quarantine? And that I 84 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 1: think is going to be a big hurdle. Here I 85 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 1: saw where the Mississippi governor, Tate read was talking about 86 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: a mask mandate. He says, I want to see college football. 87 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: He said this yesterday. The best way for that to 88 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: occur is for all of us to realize wearing a mask, 89 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: as irritating as that can be, and I promise I 90 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: hate it more than anyone. Watching is critical. All right, Hey, 91 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: whatever gets you to wear a mask, even if it 92 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: doesn't have anything to do with health, but it has 93 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: to do with watching football, I'm okay with that. So 94 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: that that's the governor of Mississippi and saying if nobody 95 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: likes wearing a mask, I've never met somebody who goes 96 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: Thank God, I love wearing a mask, unless you're a 97 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: bank robber. I don't know if anybody goes yes time, 98 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: or if you're like a hermit or some type of 99 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: antisocial person. This is a you know, a great time 100 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: of life for your people. Well, I think if you're 101 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: a celebrity and you don't have to talk to the 102 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: paparazzi because you have the mask on. And I remember 103 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: being at LAX, and this is a while ago. Right 104 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: at the very beginning, you had a tourist coming in 105 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 1: from China or Korea or Japan and they had mask on. 106 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: And I remember seeing a celebrity who the paparazzi was 107 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: waiting for him outside Lax and he put on a 108 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: mask and they were asking him questions and then he 109 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: just pointed to his mask, like I don't have to 110 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: talk to you. That that might be somebody who would 111 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: benefit from this. But no, nobody likes wearing it. But 112 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: if it means, you'll wear it, because if you don't, 113 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 1: we're not going to have football. And the players know this. 114 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: They have to be policing themselves. And for the fans, 115 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: you can help too wear the mask. A lot could 116 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 1: happen between now in the beginning of the college football season, 117 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: but a couple of potential first round picks have already 118 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: decided to opt out of the season to prep for 119 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: the draft. Now, first you had the Virginia Tech cornerback 120 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 1: Caleb Farley, and he is expected to be a first 121 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: round draft pick. Yesterday, the Minnesota wide receiver Rashad Bateman, 122 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: who's expected to be a first round pick, said he's 123 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: not coming back. If you're a Big Ten fan, you 124 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: know about Bateman. He's a really good player and three 125 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: time Big Ten wide receiver. Also, I think he was 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: the Big Ten receiver of the year. I don't know 127 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: if we're going to see a big name opt out, 128 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: and that would mean Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields at 129 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: Ohio State. If you've already cemented your status as a 130 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: top pick, are you going to stay? Are you gonna 131 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: chance this? Risk this? If there's unfinished business, then that 132 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: might mean we're gonna stay. Trevor Lawrence once to win 133 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: another national title, maybe a Heisman Trophy, saying with Justin Fields, 134 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: but Lawrence in Fields seem like guys who care about 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: their team, what their team will do. They already know 136 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: they're going to be high draft picks. The next few 137 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: weeks are going to be interesting as players decide on 138 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: their future and teams try to get ready for a 139 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: very very unusual season and that's what it is. These 140 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: are strange times here, and I know somebody wants to 141 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: opt out for whatever reason. That's on you. I understand it. 142 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: It should be your choice. Hopefully you're not pressured in 143 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: one way or another. Saw a story about Colorado State 144 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: that some of the players said that maybe the coaching 145 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: staff is not totally transparent with the number of players 146 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: who've tested positive here. And this is not surprising though, 147 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: if you're a midsize school and you're trying to gain 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: an advantage here. I just hope these coaches athletic directors 149 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: are truly factoring in the health of these student athletes. 150 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 1: I mean, we call them student athletes, they're athletes, and 151 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: I hope that they're factoring that in as we get 152 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 1: ready for this college football season. NBA is here. They've 153 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: done a great job. Baseball I'm still waiting for the 154 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: other shoe to drop. NHL has done a great job. 155 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: We got golf, the PGA Championship starting tomorrow. The NFL. 156 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: The NFL can do a better job creating their bubble 157 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: than college football can. I am really doubtful that college 158 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: football can pull this off. You might start, I just 159 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: don't think it's possible that you're going to finish. And 160 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: the NCAA has an announcement today. I don't know what 161 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: that means. Maybe it's about the fall championships, and I'm 162 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: guessing we're still playing for a championship having a final 163 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: four because there's so much money at stake, and let's 164 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: face it, every one of these sports, I know they 165 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: love to say, well, we need it. You know, the 166 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 1: fans need sports. We do. But the reason why these 167 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: leagues are going to try to pull this off is 168 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: the money. They need the money. We need the entertainment, 169 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 1: they need the money, and that's why you're trying to 170 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: see them pull this off. I mean, it's going to 171 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 1: be an incredible magic act. It really will be. Penn 172 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: and Teller are going to be envious if college football 173 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: is able to pull this off and you don't have 174 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: a leader. At least I have Adam Silver, or I 175 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: have Roger Goodell, Gary Bettman. They've done very good jobs here. 176 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 1: But with college football, Mark Emritt, Mark Emerton, he reminds 177 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: me of the traffic guy you know that at school, 178 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: Like he's not official, but he acts official, like he's 179 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: got a badge, but it's not really a badge. He 180 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: doesn't get a gun, he gets a walkee talkie or something. 181 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: But he can get you from point A to point B. 182 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 1: But that's about it. I don't think you're getting arrested 183 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: if you don't listen to it. But you know, that's 184 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: part of the problem with college football is who is 185 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: running college football. As much as we want to say 186 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 1: the Power five conferences, it's everybody for themselves right now. 187 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: But we're going to try to get this started. Players 188 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: going to be reporting, and here we go. But Yukon 189 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: decided not worth it. And you know what Connecticut has 190 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: come out of this. It Connecticut was a hot spot 191 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: and you know, one of the first places where you 192 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 1: had an outbreak in Westport, Connecticut. And it feels like 193 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: Connecticut's done a pretty good job here. Now that might 194 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: be the governor saying, yeah, and we want to continue 195 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: to do a really good job here. We don't want 196 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: to be strident in protecting everybody in the state for 197 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: four months then all of a sudden, go hey, let's 198 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,559 Speaker 1: play football, because that is the philosophy, the mindset of 199 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: some of these schools, some of these conferences, and Connecticut 200 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: saying no, we're not going to do it Rutgers with 201 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: travel restrictions. I just I don't see Rutgers being able 202 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: to play football in the fall. Yeah, Paul. There's also 203 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: an article on ESPN today where they went through all 204 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: the different college football programs and how many have not 205 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: issued any directive about fans in the stands. Not only 206 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: are they working at schedules, there's a lot of college 207 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: a lot of college football programs that are still anticipating 208 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 1: having crowds as of right now. Yeah, I think that 209 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 1: they're waiting until the last minute. You want to give 210 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 1: the impression, hey, we tried. But I do think that 211 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: some schools will have fans in the stands. I do, 212 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: and I don't think the NCAA can tell you whether 213 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 1: you can or can't. This is a state by state. 214 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: It feels like the governor is probably going to be 215 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: involved in it, and what governor wants to say to 216 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: his constituents, Hey, we're not going to have fans in 217 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: the stands. You don't want to be that guy who 218 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: says that. But some states are going to be different 219 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: than others as far as what they're allowed to do 220 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: not allowed to do. But a lot of this has 221 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: to do with the travel restrictions or when you come 222 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: into a state quarantine and there's almost there's an honor 223 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: system that goes on in some states where they want 224 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: you to be honest with where you've been, Did you quarantine? 225 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Have you been out socially? So it's it's ever of 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,559 Speaker 1: lving here, Yes, Fritzie. Now, if you're a parent of 227 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: a college football player, does this Yukon, I know they're 228 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 1: not Alabama, Ohio State, that's a smaller level. Does that 229 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: sway you in any way? If you're on the fence 230 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: about whether you're gonna let your kid suit up this year? 231 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: What do you mean seeing this news of Yukon canceling 232 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: their season. If you're a parent on the fence about 233 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: whether you should let your student athlete play college football, 234 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: does that do anything to sway you one way or 235 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: the other about letting them get out there. I don't 236 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 1: think anybody going to Alabama or their kid going to 237 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Alabama's thinking about what happened at Connecticut. I don't think, 238 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: you know, people aren't really thinking about Connecticut at even 239 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: during the season when they are playing football. Safety precautions. Okay, 240 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: you're gonna have smaller schools or are going to cancel 241 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: their football schedule. That's going to happen. But if you're 242 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,599 Speaker 1: going to Alabama, you're thinking Nick Saban is going to 243 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: have the best protocols in place because this is so 244 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: important to that state and we're playing for a national championship. Connecticut, Yeah, 245 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what the guidelines are 246 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: in Alabama. I know what they are in Connecticut, and 247 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: they're pretty strict in Connecticut. Alabama, I don't know. Yeah, 248 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: And you've been talking about this, five top five conferences, 249 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: sixty teams, that's the future college football today shows it 250 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: the Big Ten hitting the gas the other teams, Like 251 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, Rutgers doesn't belong anywhere near big time college football. 252 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: Either's Yukon either does either do Colorado State. No offense, 253 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: they're not high end college football programs. Get the programs 254 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: that are there, get those five conferences together, start paying 255 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: the players, get you know, that's that's a future. Yeah, 256 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: I don't. I feel like the power of five is 257 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: the future. I just don't know about the financial aspect 258 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: of it. But I do think you will be treated 259 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: more as a pro in waiting, maybe a semi pro 260 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: when you're in the Big five conference conferences. Yeah. See, 261 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: but those the teams that would be in that those 262 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: Big five conferences, like the Michigans and Ohio States and Alabama's, 263 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: they're they're the schools and teams that can afford that 264 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: can weather these storms, you know, where they're not really 265 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: worried about budget and infrastructure and things like that and 266 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: the number of players that they're going to be able 267 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: to have because I don't know if you can petition 268 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: the NCAA and say, can we open this up? Can 269 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: I have fifteen more walk ons? Come on? Because we 270 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: saw this with baseball where they added thirty minor league 271 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: players to the thirty man roster for the major leagues. 272 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 1: All right, this program is brought you by legal Zoom. 273 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: We're all faced with new challenges these days.

By the way, 285 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 1: we had a power outage in Connecticut along the eastern seaboard, 286 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: as they like to say, and I think everybody lost 287 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 1: power except for mclovin. You didn't lose power, did you? No? 288 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: I did that all right. Yeah, it was one of those. 289 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: My wife goes, well, what are you gonna do? And 290 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: I said, I think I'll be okay. I sat down 291 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: in the basement in the dark by myself, smoked a 292 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: cigar and had a little tequila on the rocks. And 293 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: my wife walks down with a flashlight and she goes, 294 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: that's so sad. I said, no, no, it's nice.

My 299 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: boy Dustin May of the Dodgers. I ain't you know, 300 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna be okay. Although I didn't get to 301 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: see anything last night, but I just sat down there 302 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,880 Speaker 1: and as the Great Gary Allen once saying, smoke rings 303 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: in the dark, and that was pretty much me last night. Yes, 304 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: pone mclen didn't just not didn't. He didn't lose power. 305 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,959 Speaker 1: He gained power last night. He was holding over us. 306 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: He's texting about what he's watching, what he's doing. He's like, 307 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: I got WiFi. He was having phone on it. The 308 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: guy I was worried about was Fritzie, because he was 309 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:25,719 Speaker 1: starting to panic because he was walking around the neighborhood. 310 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: He was going door to door see if he could 311 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 1: use their internet, moving my phone around to the clouds, 312 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 1: trying to find any kind of signal at office to something. 313 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: I can't get it. I can't get anybody. I said, 314 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 1: it's okay, walked for blocks and then we drove like 315 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 1: all over every friend acquaintance that might have some kind 316 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: of generator or a backup Wi Fi system. Fritzie called 317 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: me and I go, what do you want? Did say 318 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,159 Speaker 1: it like that? I know I did hurt my fings 319 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 1: a little bit, and I said, what do you want, 320 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: Like I was interrupted with your tequila, you were just 321 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 1: in case he didn't get my text saying that I 322 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: have no way to communicate with you guys. Okay, that's 323 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: always so weird when somebody's like, hey, guys, they send 324 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 1: you a text message and they're like, hey, just FYI 325 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,879 Speaker 1: got no way of communicating here, So I'm going to 326 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:06,239 Speaker 1: be down for a little while. I'm like, how did 327 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: you text us that? Then, because a couple of my 328 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: text us that stuff said not delivered, and then sometimes 329 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: they said it didn't it give you a green thing? 330 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: And then how did you drive around to those houses? 331 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: Or did your wife drive you rocks those houses? My 332 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: wife was driving while I was panicking next to her, 333 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: trying to see if I can get any kind of 334 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: sick with my phone. I think that the neighbors would 335 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 1: have some type of magic WiFi, because we had a 336 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: couple of friends up the road that I know had generators. 337 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: But even with the generator, they still weren't getting anything 338 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: because it was the cell phone towers, which has nothing 339 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: to do with if you have a generator or not. 340 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 1: But I couldn't accept. I can't imagine how panicked you 341 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: were because you have to have you're connected. You have 342 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,360 Speaker 1: to be connected. She convinced me to call your jigs. 343 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 1: You could blame you could blame my wife. I'm like, 344 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: I can't book any guests. I can't contact anyone. I 345 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: know what to do here. I was like, I don't 346 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: know what I'm suppsed to do. So so she said, 347 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: call Dan if you're that worried about it, let's just 348 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: let him know that you have no power. So at 349 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: you know, nine ten eleven o'clock at night, if they 350 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: thought they'd been working on things for hours and you couldn't. 351 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: If that makes you feel better, it's not to call 352 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: you and then you give me what do you want? Yes, 353 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: I can't contact anyone. I can't book any guests. I 354 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: better call Dan to tell him your phone worked. In 355 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: your texting work, the phone initially didn't work, and then 356 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,360 Speaker 1: I found one spot in the kitchen where I got 357 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: through it to Dan. But I better text the guys 358 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: to let them know. I can't send any text messages. 359 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 1: But making a phone call it's very different than I 360 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: wasn't getting receiving or being able to send any kind 361 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: of emails or anything. But I eventually was able to 362 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: get a stigma to at least call you to let 363 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: you know the guest list might be slim. Thank you, 364 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if this is true. You know, 365 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait.

I just it's 369 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 1: one of those where you go, this is mind boggling, 370 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: what is going on? That's a great tease.

So once again, if you're just 400 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: joining us, UKON has canceled their football season. But also, 401 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 1: I don't even know what the name of the conference is. 402 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: It like AAC that they're in. Are they independent? They 403 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 1: were Big East, but they actually got canceled by They 404 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: have quite a few ACC teams on their schedule, so 405 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: they had already canceled because the ACC was not going 406 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: to play out of conference. And then the Big Ten 407 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: is going to play a ten game conference only schedule, 408 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: including nine current opponents who one additional cross division game. 409 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: They hope to start September fifth, and they hope to 410 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: have that Big Ten title game first weekend in December, 411 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: and they can push that back to December nineteenth. A 412 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: lot of contingency plans in place here. I mentioned that 413 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 1: there's a rule. I don't know if this is real 414 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: or not. Now. Brett McMurphy, who is connected as anybody 415 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: covering college football, just sent this out. He tweeted, weird 416 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 1: new Big Ten rule this year, team that has been 417 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: most recently quarantined gets the choice to receive the opening 418 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 1: kickoff or defer to the second a half. Okay, Fritzie, 419 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: can you reach out to Brett McMurphy just to say 420 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,360 Speaker 1: is this real or not? We have not heard back. 421 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 1: Just okay, who thinks that this is real? The Big 422 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: Ten rule this year the team that has been most 423 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: recently quarantined gets the choice to receive the opening kick 424 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: offer defer the second a half. Yes, Todd, I think 425 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: it's silly, but I think it's real, at least the 426 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: way the tweet is worded. I'm buying into that like 427 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: a real thing. Levin. I wish I hadn't said it 428 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: now because I realized now it's a joke. I think. Yeah, 429 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: I was gonna say this seems like a joke, but 430 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: although I just checked it out, so they've changed all 431 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: these conferences, are announcing new coin toss rules to minimize exposure. Gosh, 432 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: so maybe see you know that I don't like that 433 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 1: if Rerett McMurphy's joking on the heels of the Big 434 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: Ten sending out their information here, and as much respect 435 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: as I have for him, I assume that this is real, 436 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: even though it sounds like it's crazy. Just the fact 437 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,080 Speaker 1: that the Big Ten announced what their schedule is going 438 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: to be and then you put this out on the 439 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: heels of that. Yeah, I did check. It's like it 440 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: really is Brett McMurphy on Twitter, you know how like 441 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: the fake Adam Schafber that's yeah, Yeah, I think it's him, 442 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: and I do. I think he's joking. Okay, yeah, Paul, 443 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: Until about thirty seconds ago, I thought he was joking, 444 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: But the way he worded it, and in the time 445 00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: we're going in right now, I think he is correct 446 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: in reporting something. I think it's shocking that a team 447 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: would be get a bonus for being quarantined. That would 448 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: be why don't you bonus the team that's not quarantined 449 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: and doing things the right but being smart? Yeah? See 450 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 1: what if neither team had been quarantined, then I think 451 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: you have a coin toss. I mean, there's no way 452 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 1: that's real. Yeah, I'm surprised. If that's real, I'm surprised. 453 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was a joke. And then I thought 454 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: back for a second that that's something that a dumb 455 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 1: conference commission would do to appear to be um sympathetic 456 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 1: to the situation. And I was looking for like an 457 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: LOL or an eye roll or a laughing emoji, But 458 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,600 Speaker 1: that wouldn't clear it up either, because that could just 459 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 1: be his reaction to a bad rule that he still 460 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: stating as fat.

Poll 469 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: question today is what okay if you were a college 470 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: football player who thought you were going in the first 471 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: round of the draft, would you play this season? Kind 472 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: of what are the big questions of the day. You're 473 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: pretty You're really you're really pretty sure. I know a 474 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: lot of guys it's a toss up where you are, 475 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: but you think you're probably top fifteen. I would depend 476 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: on who I'm playing for, if I'm playing at Clemson 477 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: or Alabama, Ohio State, somebody who has something else to 478 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: play for aside from hey, I'm just going to play 479 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 1: and then I'm going to go to the combine get 480 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,320 Speaker 1: drafted in the first round. Trevor Lawrence wants to win 481 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: another national title, wants to win a Heisman. Justin Fields 482 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 1: wants to prove that he's better than Trevor Lawrence. There's 483 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 1: a lot more at stake for some of these players, 484 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: certainly the quarterbacks at those universities. But if you're playing 485 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: for Minnesota, you're playing for Penn State, you're playing for 486 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,199 Speaker 1: whatever school, that might seem secondary to those who are 487 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: going to be playing for national title. I understand it. 488 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: I just think they're not going to know until they 489 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: get there. And you is it worth going through all 490 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,399 Speaker 1: to this and it might not even happen? You know? 491 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 1: It has the feel of Charlie Brown and Lucy, Like 492 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: Charlie Brown is always ready to kick that football and 493 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: Lucy keeps pulling it out from underneath him and he 494 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: always whips on it. This feels like a Charlie Brown 495 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: setup of looks good, snap looks good, the hold looks good, 496 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: and then Lucy takes the football away. That's the feeling 497 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm getting here, Todd. It must be important. You've raised 498 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 1: your hand twice last ten seconds. We've just heard from 499 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: Brett McMurphy. So I'll let you guys guess whether this 500 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 1: is a joke or a real new rule. Now, can 501 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 1: he call in? I will find out if you let's 502 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: call in Okay, okay, I think it's a joke. But 503 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: the fact that it's on the heels of the Big 504 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: Ten announcing their conference schedule. Fritzie thought it was real, 505 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: So see if Paulie thought it was real as well. Yes, mcgleman. 506 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: Do we know anything about his sense of humor? Anyone 507 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: had a beer with him and know what he's like. 508 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a laugh a minute guy. 509 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: I've no idea. We've had him on a few times 510 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 1: and he appears witty. I think he's got a little 511 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: snarky guy. Okay. I watched the highlights since I couldn't 512 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: watch the games last night, watched this morning U the 513 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: Clippers game against the Suns. There's a real race going 514 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 1: on right now. I mean I find it really entertaining. 515 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: Spurs playing well, Sons are playing well, Memphis trying to 516 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,639 Speaker 1: hold on for dear life. Who else is Portland is 517 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 1: in there as well, Portland beating the Celtics. Carmelo looked 518 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: looked good last night. Yes, Levin, these are your teams. 519 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: This is your little brackets, your Kings and Daron Fox, 520 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: you got Devin Booker. These are the guys you talk 521 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: about all the time. Okay, before this storm hit yesterday, 522 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: I'm in heaven. I'm watching the MAVs against the Sacramento 523 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: Kings and it goes into overtime. Like I was thrilled 524 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: it went into overtime. I'm like, yes, even more basketball. 525 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: And it was so weird watching the Kings and the 526 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 1: MAVs because at one point I went, oh, my god, 527 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 1: Luca's gotta have incredible numbers. And it may sound strange, 528 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: but when you watch the game, you don't get that 529 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: feeling when when I watch Harden, I know that he's 530 00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: building up some big numbers. There. There are certain players 531 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: you watch and you realize they're putting on a display. 532 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 1: He had thirty four points, twenty rebounds, and I think 533 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: twelve or thirteen assists. Once again, thirty four, twenty twelve. 534 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 1: He's a shooting guard. It's almost as if we're starting 535 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,320 Speaker 1: to take him for granted. And he's twenty years of age. 536 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: This is Nobody's put up these kind of numbers in 537 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: a game since I believe Kareem did back in nineteen 538 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: eighty six something like that. But you're watching him and 539 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 1: he makes it look a lot easier than he should. 540 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,680 Speaker 1: But it's one thing to put up thirty four and twelve. 541 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: He had twenty rebounds, And I know that a lot 542 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: of guys are putting up big numbers here, But I 543 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: was watching Luca and I'm going, what am I doing here? 544 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: Like I'm watching Sacramento and seeing if Sacramento has any 545 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 1: life here? And then of a sudden, you go, oh, 546 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,440 Speaker 1: just Luca again, all right, another rebo and then and 547 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: it sound like Russell Westbrook where it felt like he 548 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: wanted to get a triple double every single night because 549 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: that's how he's gonna win the MVP. Luca and I know, 550 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: as McLevin says, he's a ball hog. I never said that, 551 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: Yes you did. You said it, just these points are 552 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: empty like they did went to overtime against the Kings. 553 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: You're empty points, you said this morning. He's as much 554 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: of a ball hog as Hardness. No, he's exactly the 555 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 1: same player as hard And he just gets the free 556 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 1: throw line like a hundred times a game because he's 557 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: impossible to guard. But why are you down on Luca? 558 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,080 Speaker 1: I well, I'm sitting here and saying, well, how do 559 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 1: they go to overtime with the Kings if this guy 560 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 1: is dominating so much? Have you seen the MAVs roster? Yeah, 561 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: they got they got Porzet said, Luca, what else do 562 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: I need to see? Sacramento actually has a better balanced 563 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: roster than the MAVs. Do I mean? I got Tim 564 00:30:56,920 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: Hardaway Junior, I got JJ Area, Willie Cauley Stein, JJ Barea. Yeah, 565 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: I think he's still on the team. Oh my god, 566 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: I think he had one point yesterday. Yes, like they 567 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,440 Speaker 1: only have two and you know Hardaway Junior can score. 568 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 1: That's not a good roster. And are the MAVs the 569 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: number four seed right now? They're floating in there. Everyone's 570 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: like a game apart. Do I give him credit? Do 571 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,280 Speaker 1: I give Luca credit that if they ended up as 572 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: the fourth seed in the West? McLevin, is that a 573 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: big deal? I fine, okay, I give you Luca. I 574 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: don't know why I can't see Luca. I thought that 575 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: I can't stand him. But he's twenty one. He's twenty one. 576 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's it's really amazing. If I said, 577 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: you can have Zion or you can have Luca right now? 578 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? It's like a point five per minute. 579 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: He's unstoppable, he's his per thirty six is are ridiculous. 580 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,120 Speaker 1: He doesn't play thirty six never, that's true, but every 581 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: time he's all the court, he kind of scores every 582 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: second of every possession. Wow, you would take Zion over Luca? Yes, 583 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: I think Zion's gonna win an NBA title. Uh, Luca 584 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: will win an MVP. I don't think Zion's gonna win 585 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,040 Speaker 1: an MVP. Yeah, I'd be like a harder Westbrook MVP, 586 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: where like the sportswriters don't look at efficiency numbers and 587 00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: give him to him and then he goes out in 588 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: the first round. They said this about Dirk Nevinsky, and 589 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: then Dirk won a title beating Lebron in the Miami Heat, 590 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: and that shut everybody up. You remember in that series 591 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: where he had some I don't know he had a 592 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: cold or he had some kind of flu or whatever, 593 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: and Lebron and Wade were kind of mocking him on 594 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: the floor by coughing, and I just thought, man, that's 595 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: such a punk thing to do, and I would It 596 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 1: made me root for the MAVs even more because I'm like, 597 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 1: who is Lebron and Dwayne Wade to be punking Dirk 598 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: Nevitsky going? And then they ended up beating the Miami Heat. 599 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:15,640 Speaker 1: The three teams undefeated in the bubble Indiana, Phoenix, and Toronto. 600 00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: I like how people you know, some of these analysts go, hey, 601 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 1: keep an eye out on Toronto, thank you. Yeah, I 602 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: don't know. They got something going on there in Toronto. 603 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: Hey keep an eye ont on Portland. Do these analysts 604 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: watch anything prior to the bubble or do they understand 605 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,800 Speaker 1: the rosters here, like Toronto won the title last year. Yeah, 606 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,120 Speaker 1: they don't have Kauhai. Still a pretty good team. Keep 607 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,840 Speaker 1: an eye keep an eye on on Toronto. Phoenix is 608 00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: fun to watch. And that shot last night by Devin Booker, 609 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: that is a man man size jump shot. That was big, 610 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: big shot there. And t J. Warren is leading my 611 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: Indiana Pacers. Yeah, se love. You can forgive NBA writers 612 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: who didn't see t J. Warren coming. Oh no, I'm 613 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: right there with him. I didn't see t J. Warren 614 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:10,840 Speaker 1: entering the Bubble. He had played in three hundred twenty 615 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 1: two NBA games and never had consecutive thirty point games. 616 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: In the bubble, He's had three consecutive thirty plus point games. 617 00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,080 Speaker 1: I thought that'd be a stat of the day. Apparently 618 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,240 Speaker 1: a little strict here, somebody fell asleep at the wheel. 619 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go, day bus stat of 620 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: the day, stat of the day. Here comes that one 621 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:47,840 Speaker 1: stat of the day. We'll find out if Brett McMurphy 622 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,239 Speaker 1: was joking when he said that new Big Ten rule 623 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: this year the team that has been most recently quarantine 624 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: gets choice to receive opening kickoff or defer to a 625 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: second half. I think he's joking. The only reason why 626 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was true is because the Big Ten 627 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: just made their announcement of what was going on with 628 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: the conference schedule. So we'll see if we can track 629 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: down Brett McMurphy and ask him. I only want to 630 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: ask him one question, were you joking? And then I'll 631 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: let him go. Your phone calls are coming up. We'll 632 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: settle on a pull question as well, and we'll be 633 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: back after this on The Dan Patrick Show.

Well, 643 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: Milwaukee didn't have their starters out there, and New Jersey 644 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: or Brooklyn was an eighteen and a half point underdog, 645 00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: so one of the biggest underdogs in the last thirty 646 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: years in NBA history pulling off the win. And you know, 647 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: the Clippers against the Suns. You know, you start to 648 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 1: wonder the motivation with some of these teams, like the 649 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 1: Lakers play Okloma City tonight, What is your motivation tonight? 650 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: Is it better if you lose that game? You know, 651 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: they got to start to worry about who they're going 652 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 1: to match up with first round, second round as well. 653 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,879 Speaker 1: Do you have Anthony Davis and Lebron James out there 654 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,520 Speaker 1: playing twenty five thirty thirty five minutes? I mentioned this, 655 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: McLevin sent this to me. Give me the tweet by 656 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: Brett McMurphy. He's the college football insider at Stadium Network 657 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: and I have great respect for him. Big ten just 658 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: announced their schedule plans and do you have the tweet? McLevin. Okay, 659 00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: here is a tweet. He said this out right around 660 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: the time the show start nine pm Eastern, nine am Eastern. 661 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: Weird new Big Ten rule this year Colan team that 662 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 1: has been most recently quarantine gets choice to receive opening 663 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,360 Speaker 1: kickoff or defer to second half. Okay, we went around 664 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: the room, Fritzie and Paulie agreed on something for a 665 00:36:56,760 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 1: change that they think that this is an actual rule. 666 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 1: Mclovin and Seaton and myself thought that maybe Brett McMurphy 667 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,359 Speaker 1: was having a little bit of fun Brett McMurphy joining 668 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: us on the program. Brett, is this a real Big 669 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: ten rule this year? This is like one of those 670 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,240 Speaker 1: bits where it's are you Canadian? Or are you dead? 671 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,640 Speaker 1: But Dan, You're right. It was a joke. But I 672 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: did get a couple of text messages from some four 673 00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 1: letter network people wondering if it was a real rule 674 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: or not. All right, well, I'm wondering. We saw where 675 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,439 Speaker 1: Connecticut canceled their football schedule, but it feels like other 676 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: schools basically canceled Connecticut's football program. Because if you're playing 677 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 1: the ACC like these conferences are going to play teams 678 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: in their own conference, you have a situation situation here 679 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 1: with Rutgers. I don't know how Rutgers plays football this year. 680 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,239 Speaker 1: What are you hearing about the Big Ten? I know 681 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 1: the schedule just came out. Is everybody confident they're going 682 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 1: to be playing football this year in the Big Ten? 683 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 1: You know, Dan, They're not? You know, you know. Later today, 684 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,520 Speaker 1: the NCAA board of our excuse me, nca directors votes 685 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: on whether to cancel fall sports championships, and that's basically volleyball, soccer, 686 00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: and cross country. That does not impact FBS football. However, 687 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: multiple athletic directors I've talked to said if they do 688 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:25,160 Speaker 1: cancel those fall sports championships that ultimately the presidents would 689 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: probably shut down football because it's not good optics to 690 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,719 Speaker 1: say we can't. It's not safe to play these non 691 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 1: revenue sports in the fall, and by the way, it's 692 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 1: not safe to bring back our entire student bodies back 693 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 1: on campus in the fall. But hey, everything's all right, 694 00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:43,080 Speaker 1: let's go ahead and play football. So I think that's 695 00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 1: something to keep an eye on later today. And you know, 696 00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: people that I've talked to, again, this isn't definite, but 697 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: they believe, ironically the Big Ten would be the first 698 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,719 Speaker 1: one to shut it down, and Kevin Warren, their commissioner, 699 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 1: even today, said that, you know, look the schedules out, 700 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,919 Speaker 1: but if it's not certain on the safety and health 701 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: of this going forward, we will not have a season. 702 00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:09,000 Speaker 1: And if that happened, a lot of people think every 703 00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:12,600 Speaker 1: other conference will fall up suit, although some people I 704 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: talked to said, hey, the SEC will will forge ahead 705 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:18,080 Speaker 1: in play. So I guess if the SEC is the 706 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:21,759 Speaker 1: only conference plane and you win the SEC championship, hello 707 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:27,600 Speaker 1: national champions But then I know, these are strange times. 708 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,400 Speaker 1: We'd like to call it the new normal. It's the 709 00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 1: new abnormal. But I just I wonder how I don't 710 00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: see how college football finishes. They may start, I just 711 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: don't see how they finish. And I had, you know 712 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,360 Speaker 1: source who said Rutgers can't play football this year. You 713 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: have travel restrictions, quarantine issue. Like, there's so much going 714 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 1: on here, so many moving parts. I just don't see 715 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 1: that happening. I would be surprised if the SEC said, hey, 716 00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:53,719 Speaker 1: we're gonna follow a suit. If the Big ten and 717 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:58,200 Speaker 1: you know, the Pac twelve, the Big twelve, like everybody 718 00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,959 Speaker 1: was shutting everything down, does the SEC then say, hey, 719 00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,680 Speaker 1: these are really bad optics, we have to shut down two. 720 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: You know, I would think so. But again, if each 721 00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 1: conference is going to do what they think is best 722 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: for their conference, and if the SEC really believes and 723 00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it wouldn't, they couldn't do it. 724 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: But if they really believe that the help and safety 725 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: the student athletes are not compromised and that there are 726 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 1: no issues, then yeah, I could see them go ahead 727 00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:29,000 Speaker 1: and playing. If you have other conferences set out, Yeah, 728 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,319 Speaker 1: we know what the optics would look like, and yeah, 729 00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 1: it would add more to their motto. It just means more. 730 00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: But you know, this is not the NFL. Everybody does 731 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 1: not do everything in lockstep. And that's why. You know 732 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,400 Speaker 1: you've got four Power five conferences playing ten games, and 733 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,799 Speaker 1: the a SEC is going to play eleven, and then 734 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: you've got some of the smaller group of five conferences 735 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,319 Speaker 1: who will play anywhere from ten to twelve games. I mean, 736 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: there's so many uncertainties this year then, but the only 737 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 1: certainty is this will be like in any college football 738 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,359 Speaker 1: season we've experienced in our lifetime. Thank you, Brett. We 739 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: appreciate your time and your sense of humor. Thanks for 740 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:07,840 Speaker 1: joining us. Thank you that's Brett McMurphy. He's college football 741 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,799 Speaker 1: insider at Stadium Network. Yes, mcluvin, don't forget slash stand 742 00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: up comedian. That guy he's funnier than Fritzy is and 743 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: he's not trying to be a stand up comedian. Wow, 744 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:23,320 Speaker 1: section row seat, that's the problem. Why can't we figure 745 00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,359 Speaker 1: out where to sit? Brett McMurphy would have crushed if 746 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,319 Speaker 1: he did section row seat, he would have Yeah, he 747 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,640 Speaker 1: would have somehow tiled into something remotely, something observational humor. 748 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: You had the observation, you just didn't have the human 749 00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:42,160 Speaker 1: But it's very difficult than in a comedy club. Oh man, 750 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 1: it is gonna be really really dicey here coming up 751 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: with college football. It is. I know I'm Danny Downer 752 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,239 Speaker 1: with it, but I'm just I'm just. I talked to 753 00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 1: two people I have great respect four and they've been 754 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: around the game a long time, and both say they 755 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: don't think there's going to be a college football season. 756 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 1: They said it might start, and they said, don't rule 757 00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: out the SEC going rogue and saying we're playing football. 758 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,120 Speaker 1: Opt out day tomorrow for NFL players if they're going 759 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: to decide whether they're going to play or not. We'll 760 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,080 Speaker 1: talk to Mike Florio about that. A few other NFL 761 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 1: items as well.
