<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Final Hour.

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 2>In this Wednesday, we'll talk to the former Cowboy coach

0:00:07.760 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Jason Garrett. Last night, Horizon League Robert Morris advances the CIA,

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:22.279
<v Speaker 2>UNC Wilmington, the NEC Saint Francis of Pennsylvania and WCC Gonzaga. Tonight,

0:00:22.360 --> 0:00:26.520
<v Speaker 2>you have a couple of automatic berths available the Southland.

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 2>It's Lamar and McNee State Patriot League, Navy versus American University,

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and the Big Sky Montana versus Northern Colorado.

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 3>All right, a couple things. No real movement, no updates.

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Here on what's going on with the Pittsburgh Steelers and

0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 2>New York Giants. When it comes to Aaron Rodgers, DeAndre

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Hopkins to the Ravens which would have been a really

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.919
<v Speaker 2>big deal like seven years ago, Joey Bosa to Buffalo

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:55.920
<v Speaker 2>that is a big deal. And Cavaliers who won fifteen

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:58.840
<v Speaker 2>in a row. They're so good they're forcing networks to

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 2>actually talk about the Cats.

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:01.200
<v Speaker 3>I love it.

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:06.360
<v Speaker 2>Fifteen consecutive wins and they are off to a historical start.

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:09.160
<v Speaker 2>They're fifty five and ten, that is tied for the

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>fifth best record through sixty five games in NBA History.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:18.600

<v Speaker 2>Gang's all here, Ready to go? Final hour eight seven

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 2>seven three DP show poll question for the final hour

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>of the program, Seaton.

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:00.720
<v Speaker 5>Last hour we had up there, who career would you

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 5>rather have Bobby Hurley or Danny Hurley?

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>Right now? Fifty three percent of the audience saying, Bobby

0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 3>Hurley's pretty good, pretty close. Okay.

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 5>I think that I think we're right that maybe people

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 5>have forgotten just how huge Duke was thirty years ago

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 5>or whatever, that that was a massive four year run.

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but maybe they didn't like Duke.

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.560
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, well I didn't like Duke, But looking back now,

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 5>it's like, man, that was a hell of an accomplishment.

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 3>They were a deal, that big deal. Back then yeah, absolutely.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 5>We also had up there free edged quarterback you would

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 5>sign right now. Aaron Rodgers has thirty seven percent of

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 5>that audience, followed by Russell Wilson, Gardner Minshew and Jameis Winston.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 3>Not really in this one. Yeah, I didn't think they

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 3>would be. Yeah, yeah, that's not And.

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 2>I think it would be a sneaky little pickup if

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 2>the Brown's got Kirk Cousins. All you want is stability.

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:49.520
<v Speaker 2>If you're a bad team, at least give me something

0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that's stable. You know, the Raiders bringing in Gino Smith,

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.639
<v Speaker 2>I thought it was a really good decision. He can

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>be there for a couple of years. If you draft

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 2>Ashton gent you got a really good running back, you

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.600
<v Speaker 2>got a really good tight end, you got Max Crosby,

0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:05.639
<v Speaker 2>and maybe a new direction.

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:06.240
<v Speaker 3>For this team.

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if that would preclude them from maybe

0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 2>if Shador Sanders fell in their lap and they took

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 2>him instead of Ashton Genty the running back. But at

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.959
<v Speaker 2>a Boise State I don't, you know, not quite sure,

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.280
<v Speaker 2>And it's the lying season right now, nobody's going to

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.880
<v Speaker 2>tell you the truth what they're doing. I'm assuming Tennessee

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.960
<v Speaker 2>is taking cam Ward but do the Giants give them

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 2>an offer that they can't refuse? What's cleveland do it too?

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>If you got your quarterback, let's say, and Kirk Cousins,

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>or maybe you got Russell Wilson.

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 6>Huh.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't rule that out.

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the Colts reportedly they tried to entertain

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the idea of bring in Sam Darnold.

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Now you bring in Danny Dimes and.

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>And there's there was a lot of talk yesterday McAfee's

0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 2>show talked about you know, if you're Anthony Richardson demand

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>of Trade twenty two, you got no business demanding anything.

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 2>You can go in there and say, hey, is it

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.000
<v Speaker 2>best if I go and try to find, you know,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 2>another place? You know, what's my future here? Because Daniel

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.840
<v Speaker 2>Jones is coming in to compete. He is coming in

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.040
<v Speaker 2>to be the starting quarterback. And it's not like you're

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>bringing in Joe Montana. If you're Anthony Richardson, now's the

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>time you need to grow up. Not let me run

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>away from the problem. Attack the problem, win the job.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 2>They you know, management has their butt on the line.

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 2>They went all in on you and drafted you a

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>lot higher than a lot of people had.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 3>You graded.

0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, Pauline, You've always said, sometimes you call a player

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.599
<v Speaker 7>a bust. Anthony Richardson didn't draft himself fourth overall. He

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.039
<v Speaker 7>got benched at Florida his last year there. He was

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 7>a spotty at best college passer who had these unbelievable

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 7>running and long distance highlights. Sounds like what he did

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 7>last year with the Colts. Every couple of weeks he

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 7>would have this great highlight. But then he's a forty

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 7>six percent passer.

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.040
<v Speaker 3>Well, what is going to hang with him?

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 6>Linger?

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>Is him asking out of a game. A key has

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>to overcome that. He has to say, Hey, that's not

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>who I am. But he's only twenty two, and I

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>mean that is so young. I mean used to be

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks got their chances to play when they were twenty

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.679
<v Speaker 2>four to twenty five, twenty six, twenty two. He acts

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>like it, he plays like it. But if you've saw

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.279
<v Speaker 2>enough to draft him, then see this all the way through.

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Give him another year, but make em earn the job.

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 2>You bring in Daniel Jones.

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:38.400
<v Speaker 3>Great.

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a great decision by the Colts. Bring

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 2>him in now, Anthony Richardson, Now show me who you

0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.880
<v Speaker 2>are eight seven seven three DP show email address dpat

0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Danpatrick dot com, twitter handle at DP show. Congrats to

0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Dave Roberts, the Dodgers manager. They extended his contract. Looks

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 2>like Arizona State is keeping Bobby Hurley another losing season

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 2>and for ASU.

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 3>And that's why.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 2>We were bringing up the pole question of would you

0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>rather have Bobby Hurley's career or Danny Hurley's career. Certainly

0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:12.039
<v Speaker 2>I said Danny because it's now and it's continuing where

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 2>Bobby is holding on to a thread to keep his job.

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 2>But what he did when he was at Duke in

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the nineties pretty much unsurpassed, unmatched with how great they

0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 2>were and how great he was. But and then we

0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.720
<v Speaker 2>brought up McAuley Cockin and Kieran Cockin. Of course, as

0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 2>most shows will do. Karen Cockin big deal. Now McAuley

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 2>Cockin one of the biggest childhood movie stars that we've

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>had in our lifetime.

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 8>Yes, Marvin, and I also forgot Bobby Hurley was on

0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:44.440
<v Speaker 8>the one team that did beat the Dream Team. Okay,

0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 8>oh watch the documentary by the way, we beat the

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.120
<v Speaker 8>Dream Team on Max. Yeah, Bobby Hurley was running through

0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 8>those guys. They didn't have anybody to guard him.

0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's I don't know how big a deal. O.

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 9>Win is a win. Win is a win. Win is

0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 9>a win. Greatest team ever assembled? Okay, all right? Yes

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 9>to and coach k.

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.320
<v Speaker 10>In that documentary swears that they let them win. That

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 10>they didn't have Michael Jordan playing very much, and Chuck

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.720
<v Speaker 10>Daily didn't mix switches that he normally would.

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 3>It was a game that meant something.

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>They didn't play their harnessed if Wayne played our harness,

0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 2>then they wouldn't have had a chance.

0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:23.920
<v Speaker 3>Thank you, coach. Yeah.

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.080
<v Speaker 7>I go back every once in a while at NBA

0:07:26.200 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 7>TV and watched the Dream Team documentary, and my favorite

0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 7>note is that Chuck Daily didn't use a timeout during

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 7>the entire Olympics.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 9>Let's get this going.

0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.320
<v Speaker 2>I would have called a timeout to say, hey, we

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:39.320
<v Speaker 2>haven't called a timeout.

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I just wanted to call one. I want to get

0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 3>a little TV time here.

0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 5>What a funny like I don't know if that's a

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 5>stat or like nugget or whatever, but they didn't call

0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:48.720
<v Speaker 5>a time out the entire Olympics.

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>That's that's hilarious.

0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:50.680
<v Speaker 6>Uh.

0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 3>Stephen A.

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Smith, ESPN First Take host has had a lot of

0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>things to say about Lebron James and can can we

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 2>bring up do you have the original? This is what

0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 2>stephen A said. Was this about a month ago? Marvin,

0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:06.040
<v Speaker 2>what was it?

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 9>Jerry Ninethe?

0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So January twenty ninth, stephen A said this on

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:11.920
<v Speaker 2>his show on First Tick.

0:08:13.160 --> 0:08:19.320
<v Speaker 11>I'm really really trying to be as respectful as I

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.480
<v Speaker 11>possibly can be towards Lebron James, one of the top

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 11>two or three players in the history of basketball, Number

0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 11>two in my eyes, a treasure to the game of

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 11>basketball that we should and will all miss when he

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:40.320
<v Speaker 11>is gone. I am pleading with Lebron James as a father,

0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 11>stop this, Stop this.

0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 2>He's referring to Bronnie being out on the floor against

0:08:50.720 --> 0:08:55.320
<v Speaker 2>the seventy six ers and Tyrese Maxey embarrassed him, truly

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 2>embarrassed him. I don't know why stephen A has to

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>give us the resume of Lebron. I thought that was

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>kind of blabbering. Just get to the point, you're bothered

0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.160
<v Speaker 2>by Lebron that he put his son in this situation

0:09:10.679 --> 0:09:14.480
<v Speaker 2>where he's getting embarrassed on Teving Yes, pony.

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, And it feels like stephen A and he referenced

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 7>it the other day when he recapped this, he was

0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.720
<v Speaker 7>talking about the entire past year as well, the efforts

0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.080
<v Speaker 7>to get Bronnie James on the Lakers, et cetera, et cetera.

0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:31.199
<v Speaker 2>Right, So, stephen A was on Gilbert Arena's podcast, Gil's

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.720
<v Speaker 2>Arena and had this to say about a run in

0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.319
<v Speaker 2>with Lebron on the sidelines recently, and stephen A was

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 2>asked about that.

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 9>I thought it was weak. I thought it was some books.

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, first of all, it's not weak because week would

0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>have been tweeting something out. He confronted you, so that's

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 2>not weak. They didn't push him or anything. There were

0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:00.560
<v Speaker 2>words exchanged, and then stephen A had this to say

0:10:00.679 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>about lebron James.

0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:05.319
<v Speaker 11>You said, my son, thought was it?

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 6>I was talking about you. I was talking about you, yet.

0:10:08.559 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 4>One about your son. I know he's number fifty five.

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 4>I know he got work to do. I believe that

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.239
<v Speaker 4>he got potential. I believe that he got the potential

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 4>to go pro I truly believe that's gonna be tough,

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.040
<v Speaker 4>but I think he could pull it off. And by

0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.600
<v Speaker 4>the way, and root for him. I ain't ruled against nobody,

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 4>but I'll talk about yod you you did this. You

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 4>don't want that had us as reported as a league,

0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.400
<v Speaker 4>as an NBA franch I've almost got to sit back

0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 4>and be quiet and capitulate to you.

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So steven a is he's all fired up talking

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:44.480
<v Speaker 2>about Lebron. Lebron the father and what he did to

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.079
<v Speaker 2>his son to get him on the Lakers. It's not

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 2>like Lebron sent his son to Afghanistan. His son is

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 2>on the Lakers acting like he's the fifty fifth player drafted.

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>He's a bench player. He goes back and forth to

0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 2>the G League. And oh, by the way, how many

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.080
<v Speaker 2>guys have been embarrassed by Tyrese Maxi in an NBA game?

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:10.800
<v Speaker 3>Quite a few. It just felt.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 2>It felt like it was over and above what needed

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.959
<v Speaker 2>to be said. We all understandie Ronnie's not going to

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:24.880
<v Speaker 2>be in the league when Lebron retires. He's just not

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.760
<v Speaker 2>good enough to play. He can be a G League guy.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 2>Should have stayed another year at USC, But his dad

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 2>is probably saying, I don't know how much longer I'm

0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>going to play. I want to play with you. This

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.680
<v Speaker 2>has been his goal. He was able to pull strings

0:11:36.960 --> 0:11:40.640
<v Speaker 2>and he was able to make this happen. People had

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>a problem with that. A son wanting to play with

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>his father, I'm going to use, you know, all my

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.680
<v Speaker 2>cache and he was able to do that. He wants

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.680
<v Speaker 2>to be around his son. By all accounts, his son

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.080
<v Speaker 2>was raised properly and seems like a really, really good kid.

0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:56.959
<v Speaker 3>But when you.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 2>Start talking about somebody's parenting, like that's where it felt

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.840
<v Speaker 2>like it was. You know, if I'm Lebron, that's a

0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 2>trigger point where you're like, okay, now now your question

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to me is a father, that would be the problem

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>that I would have with this, And he's saying it

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 2>in such a dramatic way all I mean, come on,

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Brownie's doing okay, I'm gonna get his ass

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.600
<v Speaker 2>kicked a little bit. So what do I blame jj

0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Reddick for putting him out there? Do I say to Lebron, Lebron,

0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't want him out there on Tyres maxing? I mean,

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 2>there's culpability here, there's blame to go around. But you know,

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 2>steven A showing up and Lebron is going to say

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:45.840
<v Speaker 2>something to you in person that's not week Week would

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.319
<v Speaker 2>have been tweeting it out or having somebody from your

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 2>management company, your agency reach out to stephen A, but

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 2>we make it seeing and I brought this up. I

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know did stephen A say to Michael Jordan. I'm

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 2>pleading with with you be a better father. Your son

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 2>got pulled over for driving under the influence and he's

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:13.480
<v Speaker 2>a thirty year old man. No, he didn't, is Lebron?

0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, is this, you know, bad parenting?

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 7>Pull, I'm okay with steven A critiquing Lebron's basketball decisions.

0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 7>And one of his basketball decisions was working the Lakers

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.240
<v Speaker 7>to get them to add his son to the roster.

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 7>So as long as it stays in that lane of

0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 7>we're critiquing a sports move here or a sports decision,

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.559
<v Speaker 7>which I think he is. That word father, I bet

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 7>you bothered Lebron a lot, just like you said. But

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 7>if he said Lebron made a mistake and shouldn't be

0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.080
<v Speaker 7>using his influence to change a Laker roster for an

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:48.640
<v Speaker 7>inferior player, yeah, A lot of people have said that

0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.000
<v Speaker 7>wouldn't be the first.

0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:50.679
<v Speaker 3>And I agree with that.

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Lebron was going to put an inferior product on the bench,

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe playing in games. Now he's not going to be

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>playing in important games, but somebody lost their spot because

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 2>Bronnie's going to be on the bench. Bronnie and I

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.040
<v Speaker 2>got to see him in the limited time at USC,

0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>and he was nowhere near the best player on his

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.120
<v Speaker 2>own team the G League. He's had a couple of

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:15.959
<v Speaker 2>moments there. He's just not ready for this. Lebron wants

0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 2>him to be able. He wants to be able to

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>play with him. I understand that he wants to be

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>around his son. There are worse things. Did he use

0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>you know, his power? Yes he did. I mean parents

0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:32.520
<v Speaker 2>do that all the time. You might try to help

0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:39.000
<v Speaker 2>them get into USC. Hypothetically, he might try to help

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:43.920
<v Speaker 2>your kids get into USC. Now, the father part of it,

0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.280
<v Speaker 2>that's what would be the trigger for Lebron, James ys Marvin.

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, Night one when they did the whole playing together thing, Yeah,

0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 8>I was kind of thrown off by that. But now

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.880
<v Speaker 8>Broni's doing what the fifty fifth pick in the NBA draft.

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 8>He's doing what they do, playing really good basketball in

0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 8>the G League and sitting the bench in the NBA.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 9>So he's doing what the fifty fifth pick does.

0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 8>It's not like he was the seventeenth pick and don't

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 8>connect was there, he's a fifty fifth pick. Name another

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 8>fifty fifth pick.

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I'll wait, yeah, I mean I don't know what people expected.

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, should he have been the fifty fifth pick?

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:18.800
<v Speaker 2>You can make an argument, No, he shouldn't have he

0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:19.880
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't have been drafted.

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 5>Yes, there are a lot of truly terrible fathers in

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 5>the world who do awful, awful, awful things. I would

0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 5>imagine not getting your son into the NBA to play

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 5>for the Lakers is probably pretty far down on the

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 5>list of horrible things you could do as a father.

0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, as a father, you've got to stop doing this,

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 5>like what he's playing for the Lakers. How yeah, wow, Yeah,

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:47.800
<v Speaker 5>that's really crappy parenting.

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:51.400
<v Speaker 2>He got it, okay, if he didn't get embarrassed by

0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Tyrese Maxey.

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.040
<v Speaker 3>Would stephen A have said this?

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Because I watched it, And yes, Bronnie had no business

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.240
<v Speaker 2>out there. But Tyreem Maxie is one of the top

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.400
<v Speaker 2>twenty players in the game. You know, Bronnie is at

0:16:04.400 --> 0:16:06.520
<v Speaker 2>the end of the bench. Should he have been out there?

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 6>No?

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:10.000
<v Speaker 2>Did lebron say to JJ Reddick, Hey, can you put

0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 2>him out there? Then I have a problem with it.

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 2>JJ Reddick's got to run a team. He's not running

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Lebron's team. You got to prove that this is your team.

0:16:20.680 --> 0:16:23.680
<v Speaker 2>And if you put him in because bron said put

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 2>in my son, then I have a problem with that.

0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:26.480
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Mark, I do.

0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.200
<v Speaker 9>Remember that post game. After that game J J.

0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.560
<v Speaker 8>Reddick Bronny had a couple of good games, he said, oh,

0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:31.760
<v Speaker 8>you know, let me just put him out there, just

0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:36.880
<v Speaker 8>see what he can do. I said, the South Bay Lakers, Hey,

0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.000
<v Speaker 8>that's a whole different animal than Tyreese.

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.320
<v Speaker 9>MAXI. Yes, he wouldn't play nobody. It is good.

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, no, no, no, no no. But I

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>don't think this is makes him a bad parent. It

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:55.080
<v Speaker 2>may make his basketball decisions questionable because this is putting

0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 2>an inferior product out there while you guys were struggling

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 2>at the time, or we didn't know how good the

0:17:00.640 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 2>Lakers were going to be.

0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Ton, But.

0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.200
<v Speaker 10>If you're not dramatic and viral about it and making

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:06.639
<v Speaker 10>a whole big deal about it, the whole thing.

0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:08.119
<v Speaker 9>He could have easily said, there's a million ways you

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:10.439
<v Speaker 9>could say, talk about nepotism, what is Brownie doing out there?

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.320
<v Speaker 9>And then you move on to fifty other stories.

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 10>But when you say it in that dramatic flair.

0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 9>Then all of a sudden, this is such a.

0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Big Well, No, Steven, he's an entertainer. Let's make no

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:23.760
<v Speaker 2>mistake about it. That's what this is. He's entertaining people.

0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.280
<v Speaker 2>If he would have said, you can't put him out there,

0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:30.000
<v Speaker 2>Tyrees Masey, you know, totally toasted him and then you

0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.800
<v Speaker 2>move on to something else, then nobody cares.

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.800
<v Speaker 3>But to say it in a breathless way, that's the entertainer.

0:17:38.200 --> 0:17:38.400
<v Speaker 9>Yeah.

0:17:38.480 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 6>Point.

0:17:38.800 --> 0:17:40.359
<v Speaker 7>I did go back and look at the draft to

0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.160
<v Speaker 7>be fair, and the Lakers taking Brownie at fifty five.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:47.320
<v Speaker 7>They passed on Ulrich Comacchi, who's averaging point seven points

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:48.360
<v Speaker 7>per game from Memphis.

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 3>Big mistake by that, But is his dad on the

0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Memphis team? I am checking. Okay, see if he's mister Camachi.

0:17:53.760 --> 0:17:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah to you, Yeah, see ltus.

0:17:56.160 --> 0:18:00.200
<v Speaker 5>If you look at the Lakers roster, they have twenty

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.879
<v Speaker 5>four players listed, and in terms of like minutes, you know,

0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.320
<v Speaker 5>average minutes, say, Bronnie is twenty third of twenty fourth,

0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 5>So I mean, come on, wait, he's starting, you know

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.639
<v Speaker 5>he's not you know who's twenty fourth in minutes on

0:18:17.680 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 5>the Laker bench.

0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:22.639
<v Speaker 3>Maxwell Lewis. Wow, good, mad you got jobs. Yeah, it was.

0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:24.879
<v Speaker 2>Dad's not good enough to be in the NBA, so

0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:26.919
<v Speaker 2>he gets some playing time. You got to get my

0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:32.280
<v Speaker 2>son in and MAXI gets some run here. I think

0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 2>I got to be a little bit more breathless when

0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 2>I deliver things like that. That's how you go viral.

0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.639
<v Speaker 9>As a father. As a father, I know you can

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:43.560
<v Speaker 9>talk about me as a father.

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah no, Marvin, you can't say that.

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 5>Which is better as a father that your dad getting

0:18:49.840 --> 0:18:52.160
<v Speaker 5>your kid to play for the Lakers or completely ignoring

0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:53.160
<v Speaker 5>that they exist publicly?

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:55.919

<v Speaker 9>on drugs or anything.

0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:58.639

0:20:19.600 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 13>head coach of the Cowboys, NBC Football Night in America,

0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 13>analyst Notre Dame Football analyst.

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.399
<v Speaker 2>Always great to see Jason Garrett back on the program. Coach,

0:20:28.440 --> 0:20:30.080
<v Speaker 2>good to talk to you again. Let me put you

0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:34.520
<v Speaker 2>in the Minnesota Vikings situation. JJ McCarthy coming off an injury,

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.160
<v Speaker 2>would you entertain the idea of bringing in Aaron Rodgers.

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.639
<v Speaker 6>I don't like that decision for them right now. I

0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:47.199
<v Speaker 6>think you want to create an atmosphere and environment for

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:50.879
<v Speaker 6>JJ McCarthy to be the quarterback of your team. And

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:52.480
<v Speaker 6>I don't think you want to have a guy who's

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 6>as accomplished as Aaron has been throughout his career. I

0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:59.520
<v Speaker 6>think you probably want to have a more traditional veteran

0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:02.560
<v Speaker 6>backup who can go in and play for short periods

0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 6>of time. I think Aaron Rodgers wants to be a

0:21:04.840 --> 0:21:07.360
<v Speaker 6>quarterback of one of the thirty two teams. I don't

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.680
<v Speaker 6>think he wants to be a backup. And I think

0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:11.920
<v Speaker 6>you made that decision with pick ten last year that

0:21:12.040 --> 0:21:13.920
<v Speaker 6>JJ McCarthy's going to be your guy, and I think

0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.840
<v Speaker 6>you stick with it and create a great environment for him.

0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:20.320
<v Speaker 3>What are the Steelers doing or what should they do?

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:24.440
<v Speaker 6>I think they should really entertain going to get Aaron Rodgers.

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:29.280
<v Speaker 6>I really do he played better when he was healthier

0:21:29.320 --> 0:21:33.760
<v Speaker 6>at the end of last year for me, when you

0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 6>analyze his career, A really interesting crossroads came when Matt

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.920
<v Speaker 6>Leaflora was hired as the head coach of the Packers,

0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:46.919
<v Speaker 6>and Aaron had done things a certain way in the

0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.919
<v Speaker 6>system for a long time, and Matt Laflour had come

0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.159
<v Speaker 6>from an offense where they were under center more with

0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:55.080
<v Speaker 6>the quarterback. They ran the ball, play action, maybe a

0:21:55.119 --> 0:21:58.800
<v Speaker 6>little different than Aaron wanted to play, and I think

0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:03.200
<v Speaker 6>there was probably some tension between those two guys early on,

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 6>but eventually they kind of settled that, Hey, we're going

0:22:06.600 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 6>to do some things that Aaron does well, but we're

0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:10.320
<v Speaker 6>also going to do some things that I want to

0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 6>do as the head coach. I want to run the ball,

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:14.199
<v Speaker 6>I want to run play action stuff from under center.

0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 6>And they got to that marriage, and I think that

0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:21.200
<v Speaker 6>worked out well for them, And so in Pittsburgh, I

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 6>would try to do the same thing. I would not

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:26.880
<v Speaker 6>do what the Jets did and say, Aaron, you're the quarterback,

0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:30.240
<v Speaker 6>but you're also the offensive coordinator and let's play GM two.

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.800
<v Speaker 6>When you bring your guys in, I would fit them

0:22:32.840 --> 0:22:35.080
<v Speaker 6>in and say, hey, this is the way we want

0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 6>to play in Pittsburgh. We want to play great defense,

0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:39.640
<v Speaker 6>we want to run the ball, play action pass, and oh,

0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 6>by the way, we're going to create an environment for you,

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Aaron Rodgers, to do what you do best. And I

0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:47.000
<v Speaker 6>would blend it that way. And I think at forty

0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 6>one years old, Aaron Rodgers would embrace that. I think

0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.679
<v Speaker 6>he'd embrace maybe taking some of the burden off of

0:22:53.800 --> 0:22:56.560
<v Speaker 6>him to do everything every snap like he did for

0:22:56.600 --> 0:23:00.879
<v Speaker 6>a long time. I think he would understand and playing

0:23:00.920 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 6>for one of these incredible foundational teams and the Pittsburgh

0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 6>Steelers like he did with the Packers, I think he'd

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.480
<v Speaker 6>embrace that. And I think if you could fit into

0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:12.800
<v Speaker 6>how they want to play, I think it could be

0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 6>a good marriage.

0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:17.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm wondering if you had contact with somebody before you

0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 2>signed them in free agency legally, but like Mike Tomlin,

0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.160
<v Speaker 2>if you're Mike Tomlin, would you reach out to Aaron

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers and say, let's not waste time here. If we

0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:31.000
<v Speaker 2>can help each other great? Did you ever do that

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.080
<v Speaker 2>as the head coach of the Cowboys, to reach out

0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:35.679
<v Speaker 2>to say I need to get an idea where you

0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:36.400
<v Speaker 2>are right now?

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:38.919
<v Speaker 6>Well, I think you have to be really careful with

0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.800
<v Speaker 6>tampering rules and all of that. I think everybody knows

0:23:41.840 --> 0:23:46.439
<v Speaker 6>with how these free agency rules and logistics have changed

0:23:46.440 --> 0:23:49.960
<v Speaker 6>in recent years, that they have this dead period to

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:52.479
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people talking to the dead period, But

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 6>I think you got to be careful about being direct.

0:23:57.240 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 6>But I do think they are representatives that can talk

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:03.600
<v Speaker 6>to representatives, can talk to representatives to get the idea

0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.720
<v Speaker 6>out that Hey, we want you in Pittsburgh. What's your interest?

0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 3>Is it a resurgence of the running back position?

0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:14.520
<v Speaker 6>Well not in my mind. The running back position never

0:24:14.640 --> 0:24:16.199
<v Speaker 6>left in my mind. And I don't want to be

0:24:16.240 --> 0:24:19.080
<v Speaker 6>one of those guys. But I've been banging this drum forever.

0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.280
<v Speaker 6>You know. I played for the Cowboys for eight years

0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:25.120
<v Speaker 6>and we won three Super Bowls, and our running back

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:29.239
<v Speaker 6>was EMMITTT. Smith, the leading rusher in NFL history, And

0:24:29.280 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 6>I just saw the impact that he made on the

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.399
<v Speaker 6>entire team, the ability to run the football with a

0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.639
<v Speaker 6>guy like that. We handed the ball to him twenty

0:24:37.640 --> 0:24:40.800
<v Speaker 6>five times a game. He made the offensive line better,

0:24:40.840 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 6>and the offensive line was really good. He made the

0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:45.920
<v Speaker 6>quarterback better, and the quarterback was really good. He made

0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:48.520
<v Speaker 6>the receivers better, the tight ends better. He made the

0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.440
<v Speaker 6>defense better, and all of those guys made him better.

0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:53.479
<v Speaker 6>And it was just the way to play football. And

0:24:53.840 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 6>we won three Super Bowls in four years. And I

0:24:57.160 --> 0:24:59.520
<v Speaker 6>haven't changed from that, you know. When I became the

0:24:59.520 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 6>head coach the Cowboys, that's the kind of team we

0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:05.919
<v Speaker 6>wanted to build. We drafted lineman, We drafted running backs.

0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:10.920
<v Speaker 6>You know. DeMarco Murray in twenty fourteen led the league

0:25:10.960 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 6>in rushing. Oh, by the way, it happened to be

0:25:13.440 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 6>Tony Romo's best years of pro Dak Prescott in twenty

0:25:17.600 --> 0:25:21.280
<v Speaker 6>sixteen won thirteen games as a rookie. Oh, by the way,

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.040
<v Speaker 6>Zeke Elliott led the league in rushing. You know. So

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 6>the value of the running back to me has not changed.

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:31.440
<v Speaker 6>They're so impactful. And I've said this before, and Devin

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 6>mccordy and I talk about this a lot. I think

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:38.320
<v Speaker 6>the New England Patriots and Tom Brady distorted the value

0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:42.159
<v Speaker 6>of the running back. When Tom Brady's your quarterback, you

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.959
<v Speaker 6>can load up on defense, and you can only you know,

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:47.919
<v Speaker 6>you don't have to draft lineman real high, and you

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:51.080
<v Speaker 6>don't really need an every down running back, you know,

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 6>because he was so amazing at making the whole situation work,

0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 6>and then people said, hey, you know, you don't need

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:00.200
<v Speaker 6>running backs, you know, and not that they didn't have

0:26:00.240 --> 0:26:02.720
<v Speaker 6>good running backs in New England. They had role player

0:26:02.800 --> 0:26:05.080
<v Speaker 6>running backs. They didn't have the marquee guy that were

0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:07.879
<v Speaker 6>going to hand the ball to twenty twenty five times

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 6>a game. And for me, that changed everybody's perception of

0:26:13.200 --> 0:26:15.920
<v Speaker 6>running backs that hey, you don't need this guy. Well

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 6>maybe you don't if you have the best. If we're

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.480
<v Speaker 6>going to make mount rushmore of players, the first face

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:24.199
<v Speaker 6>your chiseling is Tom Brady. Well, if you have that

0:26:24.200 --> 0:26:26.560
<v Speaker 6>guy as your quarterback, maybe you don't need a running back.

0:26:26.600 --> 0:26:30.400
<v Speaker 6>But short of that, the running back helps everybody else.

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.560
<v Speaker 6>And I do think it's fun for me to see

0:26:33.560 --> 0:26:36.119
<v Speaker 6>the resurgence because I think it's just a reaffirmation of

0:26:36.160 --> 0:26:36.960
<v Speaker 6>those values.

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:39.960
<v Speaker 2>We're talking to Jason Garrett Football Night in America analyst,

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 2>But that brings me to Anshton Gent. We had an

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 2>analyst who said, reminds me of Emmett Smith by faster.

0:26:50.560 --> 0:26:52.800
<v Speaker 6>Did you tell that analyst that Emmitt Smith rushed for

0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:56.159
<v Speaker 6>over eighteen thousand yards in the NFL? Yeah, and he

0:26:56.320 --> 0:26:59.320
<v Speaker 6>was kind of good. If you remind you of Emmitt Smith,

0:26:59.359 --> 0:27:05.760
<v Speaker 6>but he's fast. You probably should draft him. And I

0:27:05.840 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 6>just think you gotta be careful of talking about reminds

0:27:09.000 --> 0:27:11.360
<v Speaker 6>me of that, you know, one of the greatest players

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:14.879
<v Speaker 6>ever to play in the NFL. But you know, I

0:27:14.960 --> 0:27:16.840
<v Speaker 6>can see what they're saying. He seems to be a

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:21.600
<v Speaker 6>guy that is not overly flashy, but it's hard to tackle.

0:27:21.640 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 6>He's got excellent contact balance, always finishing forward. You know,

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:29.239
<v Speaker 6>those guys make a difference on your team. And you know,

0:27:29.440 --> 0:27:32.200
<v Speaker 6>we were talking on Football Night in America all year long,

0:27:32.280 --> 0:27:33.840
<v Speaker 6>maybe the last half of the year, who's going to

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.600
<v Speaker 6>be the MVP? And in about week seventeen, I blurted out,

0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 6>how about Saquon Barkley? Right? I mean, do you think

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 6>he had an impact on that team? The offensive line

0:27:45.920 --> 0:27:48.159
<v Speaker 6>was great, I get all that, but when you have

0:27:48.200 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 6>a runner who rushes for twenty one hundred yards in

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 6>sixteen games and you don't think that's going to positively

0:27:55.840 --> 0:27:59.439
<v Speaker 6>impact your quarterback. One of the best things that Kellen

0:27:59.480 --> 0:28:02.240
<v Speaker 6>Moore did in the Super Bowl Dan is he kept

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:06.680
<v Speaker 6>running the football, uh seikwe I think was twenty four

0:28:06.760 --> 0:28:10.359
<v Speaker 6>cares for fifty seven yards. There were forty seven Kansas

0:28:10.400 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 6>City Chiefs on the line of scrimmage trying to stop

0:28:12.760 --> 0:28:16.399
<v Speaker 6>Sakwon Barkley right, and all of a sudden, aj Brown

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 6>is a big game and these receivers, well, it's because

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.680
<v Speaker 6>of the it's because of the runner and the threat

0:28:22.680 --> 0:28:24.800
<v Speaker 6>of the running game that you have to load people

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:28.480
<v Speaker 6>up and you create favorable looks outside and it certainly

0:28:28.520 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 6>helps your quarterback too. So if Gent is like Emmitt

0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 6>Smith but only faster, you should be the first pick

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:36.639
<v Speaker 6>of the draft.

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 2>The Commanders were great surprise last year, but as I've

0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:44.520
<v Speaker 2>cautioned people, they did win a lot of games on

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:48.200
<v Speaker 2>the last drive, last possession, last second, and it's hard

0:28:48.240 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>to sustain something like that. Yet, Jane Daniels was wonderful

0:28:52.760 --> 0:28:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and they have gone out and gotten some other pieces here,

0:28:55.840 --> 0:28:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and I do like that. But if you're going to

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 2>handicap Commanders in the Eagles, what's the what's the separation

0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.920
<v Speaker 2>between those two, at least right now going into next season?

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think Philadelphia is still a cut above and

0:29:09.320 --> 0:29:12.000
<v Speaker 6>and Philadelphia is losing players, and that's what happens when

0:29:12.000 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 6>you have a championship team like they do, and they're

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:20.040
<v Speaker 6>so talented. But but Howie Roseman has done an amazing

0:29:20.120 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 6>job building the team, and you know we're talking about

0:29:22.640 --> 0:29:25.960
<v Speaker 6>it earlier. You know, one of one of Jeff Bezos's

0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:31.040
<v Speaker 6>fourteen leadership principles is UH is great leaders are right

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:36.040
<v Speaker 6>a lot and uh And you know when you can

0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:38.600
<v Speaker 6>I become a billionaire if I come up with silly

0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:42.280
<v Speaker 6>things like that. Yeah, but but it's true. You know,

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.680
<v Speaker 6>if you simplify it, you got to be right a lot,

0:29:44.760 --> 0:29:48.720
<v Speaker 6>and you have to be right in personnel because ultimately

0:29:48.760 --> 0:29:52.400
<v Speaker 6>that's what separates teams. You can have the greatest personnel

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:56.520
<v Speaker 6>process there is how we how we talk about it,

0:29:56.640 --> 0:29:59.240
<v Speaker 6>how we go out on the road, or reports, all

0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.240
<v Speaker 6>that kind of stuff. But when it comes to nutcutting

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 6>time and you got to pick a player, you got

0:30:03.920 --> 0:30:07.280
<v Speaker 6>to pick the right one. And Devin and I were

0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 6>laughing about it. With pick one, the New England Patriots

0:30:11.640 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 6>took Tom Brady in the year two thousand, middle of

0:30:14.840 --> 0:30:18.240
<v Speaker 6>the fourth round. In twenty sixteen, we drafted Dak Prescott.

0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:20.080
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's a lot of other guys that you're

0:30:20.120 --> 0:30:22.560
<v Speaker 6>talking about, you're thinking about, but you got to pick

0:30:22.600 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 6>the right guys. And how he's done an amazing job

0:30:25.680 --> 0:30:28.480
<v Speaker 6>both in free agency and in the draft picking the

0:30:28.560 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 6>right guys for Philadelphia. So even though they're losing guys,

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:34.800
<v Speaker 6>I have confidence in him to keep that thing going.

0:30:34.960 --> 0:30:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Can you be honest with me, would the Cowboys have

0:30:37.400 --> 0:30:39.880
<v Speaker 2>taken Connor Cook out of Michigan State if he was

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:45.280
<v Speaker 2>available the pick before you guys took Dak Connor Cook went.

0:30:45.320 --> 0:30:48.440
<v Speaker 2>I think to the Raiders from what I always told you,

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 2>guys were higher on Connor Cook than Dak Prescott.

0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:55.560
<v Speaker 6>Well, I'll take you through that whole draft. You know.

0:30:55.640 --> 0:30:57.320
<v Speaker 6>You know, right at the top of the draft, we

0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:00.280
<v Speaker 6>had the fourth pick and we drafted Zeke Elliott, which

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.320
<v Speaker 6>to me, it was a fantastic pick. He, you know,

0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:06.720
<v Speaker 6>really changed our team in so many ways. But the

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 6>quarterbacks went first, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz and then

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 6>you know, the next guy up was Paxton Lynch. So

0:31:13.240 --> 0:31:15.680
<v Speaker 6>there's conversation at the bottom of the first round about

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 6>Paxton Lynch, should we trade up, should we do this,

0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 6>should we do that? I mean a lot of conversations

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:22.760
<v Speaker 6>about that. And then you know, there were other guys

0:31:22.800 --> 0:31:24.880
<v Speaker 6>I'm trying to think who was in the maybe in

0:31:24.920 --> 0:31:27.600
<v Speaker 6>the third round somebody went and then and then it

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:31.720
<v Speaker 6>got to Connor Cook, and the Connor Cook discussion was

0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:35.400
<v Speaker 6>more about he played in the dropback system at Michigan State.

0:31:35.840 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 6>He was under center. You know, we felt like Dak

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 6>Prescott was one of the five guys in the draft

0:31:42.120 --> 0:31:45.120
<v Speaker 6>that could be a starting quarterback for us in the league.

0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:48.800
<v Speaker 6>But he was a guy, and I'll be honest with you,

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:51.520
<v Speaker 6>I thought it was going to take him time because

0:31:51.520 --> 0:31:53.680
<v Speaker 6>he played in the gun. There was a lot of

0:31:53.760 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 6>quarterback run and at the time that's not what we

0:31:56.280 --> 0:31:59.280
<v Speaker 6>were doing, and so he had all the stuff, but

0:31:59.320 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 6>it was like, huh, you know, he's probably two or

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.280
<v Speaker 6>three years away. Well, sure enough, he wins thirteen games

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 6>as a rookie, so there goes that part of the evaluation.

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:12.440
<v Speaker 6>But we had no doubt about Dak in terms of

0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.239
<v Speaker 6>we were all in on this guy can be our

0:32:15.280 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 6>quarterback in the future. It just seemed like Connor Cook

0:32:18.440 --> 0:32:21.479
<v Speaker 6>was more ready to be our backup right now and

0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 6>then possibly the quarterback in the future. And and Oakland

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:28.800
<v Speaker 6>traded up to get him. We fell back. We took

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:32.120
<v Speaker 6>a defensive lineman from Oklahoma in the fourth before we

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 6>took Dak in the fourth, So you know, all those

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:39.000
<v Speaker 6>different things when you reflect back on him certainly fell

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:42.400
<v Speaker 6>favorably for us, but he ended up being an amazing

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 6>pick and a great player for US.

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.360
<v Speaker 2>So I was correct that you guys liked Connor Cook

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 2>more than you did Dak Prescott.

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:49.360
<v Speaker 6>We did.

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:53.640
<v Speaker 2>We had healthy discussions about you guys liked Paxton Lynch.

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Didn't Jerry love Paxton Lynch?

0:32:56.040 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. And you know one thing that I always laugh

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:01.960
<v Speaker 6>about is that, you know, people go back afterwards in

0:33:02.000 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 6>the draft and say, you know, there's like revisionist history.

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 6>You guys would have taken him. You guys would have

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:13.960
<v Speaker 6>taken you literally talk about three hundred players all day long. Hey,

0:33:13.960 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 6>what would happen if this guy fell back? Would you

0:33:15.800 --> 0:33:18.040
<v Speaker 6>trade up for him? So if you went back and

0:33:18.200 --> 0:33:23.240
<v Speaker 6>and and transcribed those conversations, you know, history would be different. Right.

0:33:24.600 --> 0:33:26.760
<v Speaker 6>You know there's always the story that Bill Walsh like

0:33:26.800 --> 0:33:30.320
<v Speaker 6>Steve Dills better than Joe Montana. Well he ended up

0:33:30.360 --> 0:33:31.520
<v Speaker 6>drafting Joe Montana.

0:33:31.640 --> 0:33:37.280
<v Speaker 2>So I got all Cody Kessler, Cody Kessler, Christian Hackenberg,

0:33:39.560 --> 0:33:43.400
<v Speaker 2>Jacobe brissaid, those are the other quarterbacks that were taken

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:45.440
<v Speaker 2>before Dak Prescott.

0:33:46.600 --> 0:33:50.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and and and we felt we felt great about Dak.

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 6>I'll give you a good story about that. You know,

0:33:53.160 --> 0:33:56.280
<v Speaker 6>Wade Wilson uh was our quarterback coach for years. I

0:33:56.280 --> 0:33:58.920
<v Speaker 6>don't remember way we passed a few years ago, but

0:33:59.480 --> 0:34:01.840
<v Speaker 6>he was one of my teammates. He played nineteen years

0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:04.600
<v Speaker 6>in the NFL, and there was our quarterback forever. And

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.760
<v Speaker 6>Wade never liked quarterbacks, like he would go work guys

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:12.120
<v Speaker 6>out and you know, in for the draft. I mean,

0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 6>and I would say, Wade, what'd you think of that guy?

0:34:14.239 --> 0:34:18.040
<v Speaker 6>He can't play, He can't play, he can't play. I mean,

0:34:18.040 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 6>this went on for years. Dan, it went on for

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:22.919
<v Speaker 6>a year, and I'm like, he can't play, I can't play.

0:34:22.920 --> 0:34:24.560
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, at some point we got to like one

0:34:24.560 --> 0:34:27.640
<v Speaker 6>of these guys will never draft anybody, and I'll never

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:30.480
<v Speaker 6>forget it. I think it was a Friday night he

0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:33.840
<v Speaker 6>called me early March leading up to that twenty sixteen

0:34:33.920 --> 0:34:36.719
<v Speaker 6>draft and he said, I think we got one. Oh well,

0:34:37.800 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 6>I said what He's like, Yeah, I'm down here in Starkville, Mississippi.

0:34:41.200 --> 0:34:45.200
<v Speaker 6>I think we got a quarterback. And he just raved

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 6>about Dak. He loved him. And then and then if

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.640
<v Speaker 6>you remember this, like two weeks later, Dak gets a

0:34:51.719 --> 0:34:56.120
<v Speaker 6>DUI yeah, yeah, and so I'm like, you know, he

0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:58.560
<v Speaker 6>was the face of the program. Everybody loved him the

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:02.080
<v Speaker 6>whole deal. He had all stuff you wanted. And he

0:35:02.480 --> 0:35:04.479
<v Speaker 6>gets a DUI and I'm like, hey, here's our guy.

0:35:04.520 --> 0:35:07.959
<v Speaker 6>What the heck you know? And over the next month

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:11.320
<v Speaker 6>or so, we had some real aggressive conversations with Dak

0:35:11.880 --> 0:35:15.200
<v Speaker 6>about the whole process. And I'll tell you the quick story.

0:35:15.239 --> 0:35:17.440
<v Speaker 6>We used to do this thing for about three hours

0:35:17.440 --> 0:35:20.920
<v Speaker 6>with quarterbacks. We're thinking about draft, and we get him

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.400
<v Speaker 6>in a room, a quarterback room, and it would be

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.759
<v Speaker 6>me and the time was Scott Lenehan who was our coordinator,

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:30.280
<v Speaker 6>and Wade and some other people. And I would stand

0:35:30.360 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 6>up there and I would put three plays in from

0:35:32.520 --> 0:35:36.480
<v Speaker 6>our offense, three pass plays, five man protection of six

0:35:36.520 --> 0:35:39.520
<v Speaker 6>man protection of seven man protection. I would talk really fast,

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:42.840
<v Speaker 6>use all our jargon, give him every rule that we had,

0:35:42.880 --> 0:35:45.359
<v Speaker 6>talk about defense. This is what happened, debt dot dot

0:35:45.440 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 6>dot dot, and then I would erase it and say, Okay,

0:35:48.120 --> 0:35:50.960
<v Speaker 6>you're up, and now you've got to give it back

0:35:50.960 --> 0:35:53.640
<v Speaker 6>to me. And I would interrupt them on purpose and

0:35:53.680 --> 0:35:57.080
<v Speaker 6>talk really fast and see if they could retain information,

0:35:57.280 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 6>see if they could spit it back, see how much football.

0:35:59.600 --> 0:36:02.680
<v Speaker 6>He knew all that, but we had a real question

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 6>about about this thing with Dak Prescott, about this dui,

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:11.479
<v Speaker 6>because she just seems so out of character for him.

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.919
<v Speaker 6>So we get him up on the board and I'm

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.000
<v Speaker 6>talking really fast and put it all in and I'm like,

0:36:16.040 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 6>all right, you're up. It's an empty whiteboard. Give me

0:36:18.800 --> 0:36:21.919
<v Speaker 6>the first play. And he starts talking and starts going

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 6>through it, and about ten seconds into him like hey, stop, stop, stop, hey, hey,

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 6>give me the story about this dui. Oh okay, and

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:33.799
<v Speaker 6>so I'm like, hey, get me to the bottom of this,

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:36.759
<v Speaker 6>and so he tells me the story. It was fantastic.

0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 6>It was so accountable and specific detail. I had a

0:36:41.239 --> 0:36:44.200
<v Speaker 6>couple of margaritas after the workout. I was going thirty

0:36:44.239 --> 0:36:47.319
<v Speaker 6>eight and the thirty I got pulled over whatever. I mean.

0:36:47.320 --> 0:36:49.440
<v Speaker 6>It was like and it was clean and it was

0:36:49.520 --> 0:36:51.920
<v Speaker 6>direct and it was accountable and I'm sorry for it

0:36:51.960 --> 0:36:52.720
<v Speaker 6>and whatever whatever.

0:36:53.239 --> 0:36:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I keep going.

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:56.400
<v Speaker 6>And so he draws up the rest of the play

0:36:56.440 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 6>and we're asking him, question, stop, hey, go back again.

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 6>You know, you're the face of the program at Mississippi State.

0:37:02.400 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 6>You know this whole thing. I'm peppering them, and he

0:37:05.920 --> 0:37:10.439
<v Speaker 6>kind of stops and gives me another explanation. Okay, third time,

0:37:11.080 --> 0:37:13.600
<v Speaker 6>he's drawn up another play stop one more time and

0:37:13.680 --> 0:37:16.360
<v Speaker 6>he turns and it was a great answer. He said,

0:37:16.760 --> 0:37:18.920
<v Speaker 6>I said, tell me what happened again on this deal

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 6>And he said, Coach, I don't know what you want

0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:22.520
<v Speaker 6>to tell you. I told you exactly what happened. I

0:37:22.520 --> 0:37:25.160
<v Speaker 6>took accountability for it whatever. And it was just a

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 6>Dak Prescott answer. And I said to myself, I need

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:32.920
<v Speaker 6>to be quiet. So he finishes up the interview and

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:35.600
<v Speaker 6>he's phenomenal. I can't tell you how good he is mentally,

0:37:35.640 --> 0:37:38.600
<v Speaker 6>he's just off the charts. So sure enough, he comes

0:37:38.640 --> 0:37:41.480
<v Speaker 6>to the Cowboys, has an amazing start to his career.

0:37:41.560 --> 0:37:45.439
<v Speaker 6>All of that. Wade Wilson tragically passes away about four

0:37:45.520 --> 0:37:50.360
<v Speaker 6>years later. So we're at the repast after the funeral

0:37:51.320 --> 0:37:53.160
<v Speaker 6>and Dak comes up to me. He says, Coach, I

0:37:53.200 --> 0:37:56.319
<v Speaker 6>never told you this story. He said, you remember you

0:37:56.360 --> 0:37:58.680
<v Speaker 6>did that meeting with me before the draft where you

0:37:58.719 --> 0:38:01.440
<v Speaker 6>were talking really fast, interrupted me and all of that.

0:38:01.960 --> 0:38:05.600
<v Speaker 6>I said, yeah, he's like, Wade Wilson told me all

0:38:05.640 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 6>the answers to the questions before I went in there.

0:38:09.920 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 6>I said, he's gonna ask you this. He's gonna ask

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.359
<v Speaker 6>you this. He's gonna ask you this. So he said,

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 6>when I got a little frustrated when you kept parting

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:18.400
<v Speaker 6>with the question. I wasn't mad about the question about

0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:20.920
<v Speaker 6>the DUI. I was mad that I was forgetting all

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:22.520
<v Speaker 6>the stuff that Wade had already.

0:38:22.160 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 9>Told me.

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:25.080
<v Speaker 6>It was a setup.

0:38:25.280 --> 0:38:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Uh that's great. Always great to talk to you. Thanks

0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:31.840
<v Speaker 2>for sharing, and uh we'll talk to you soon. Thank you, Jason,

0:38:32.040 --> 0:38:34.680

0:38:45.800 --> 0:38:51.080
<v Speaker 2>Last call for phone calls, I won't be learned. Junior

0:38:51.120 --> 0:38:55.040
<v Speaker 2>Bridgeman passed away. He was a part owner of the

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:58.759
<v Speaker 2>Milwaukee Bucks. Great businessman, became a billionaire. I believe he

0:38:58.880 --> 0:39:03.040
<v Speaker 2>was part of the Leuwele Sindor trade and from the

0:39:03.080 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Lakers to the Milwaukee Bunks. Junior Bridgeman was a very

0:39:07.680 --> 0:39:12.160
<v Speaker 2>good NBA player, great college player. He invested in Chili's

0:39:12.960 --> 0:39:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and Wendy's. I think I think he had over one

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:21.239
<v Speaker 2>hundred of those locations and became a billionaire. Alrighty, how

0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 2>about this Dan in sports history? Paul, This is one

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 2>of one. If you get on YouTube sometime. Larry Bird

0:39:27.080 --> 0:39:29.600
<v Speaker 2>of the Celtics scored sixty points in a game in

0:39:29.680 --> 0:39:32.640
<v Speaker 2>nineteen eighty five against the Atlanta Hawks in New Orleans.

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:34.280
<v Speaker 3>Right, Dan in New Orleans.

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:35.840
<v Speaker 9>Weirdly, I still don't know why.

0:39:36.040 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 7>But if you ever want to watch that, watch the

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:41.959
<v Speaker 7>players on the bench for the Atlanta Hawks, mL Car, Tree,

0:39:42.040 --> 0:39:43.160
<v Speaker 7>Rollins and so forth.

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:43.640
<v Speaker 6>Is that right?

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:46.600
<v Speaker 2>mL Carr wouldn't have been on that now it was

0:39:47.760 --> 0:39:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Cliff Levingston, Cliff Livingston and twine Car okay antwine Car.

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.600
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, they're celebrating Larry Bird on the sidelines on the bench.

0:39:55.640 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 3>It's fascinating YouTube. And we've had Mike Furtello on.

0:39:58.960 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 2>He was the hawkshead co and boy was he upset

0:40:02.040 --> 0:40:05.799
<v Speaker 2>at his players that they were They're falling all over

0:40:05.840 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 2>themselves because Bird is throwing up. Bird at one point

0:40:09.080 --> 0:40:11.960
<v Speaker 2>says he's going to take a shot. He tells the

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:15.000
<v Speaker 2>bench he's going to take a shot, fall out of

0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:20.200
<v Speaker 2>bounds and land I think in the trainer's lap. Bird

0:40:20.280 --> 0:40:22.920
<v Speaker 2>takes a shot in front of the bench, fades away,

0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:24.960
<v Speaker 2>makes it and falls into the bench.
