We finally 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:40.400 finally made it into Juno Alaska. It's been a long journey. 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.519 I've been working long and hard to get into Juno Alaska. 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.319 Fox Sports thirteen thirty Am and Juno Alaska. Thank you 0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.720 for allowing us into your homes, into your car, into 0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.520 your life. Yes, Polly, I remember when you won that 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.319 Marconi in twenty eleven. I said, congratulations, Dan, you've done 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.920 it all, he said, Paul. We're not in Juneo yet, 0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:05.400 but we are now. We'll have a Juneau Juneau Contest 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:09.040 quiz coming up a little bit later on, but we'll 0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.880 have a poll question Play of the Day stat of 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:13.640 the day. All of that coming up here on the program. 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:18.560 Congratulations to the Lakers. They won the franchise's seventeenth championship, 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.880 certainly the strangest one for both the team and the 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.360 four time champion Lebron James. And not because of how 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:27.480 they won on Sunday night. They showed that they're simply 0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.959 a better team than the Miami Heat. And I'm not 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.200 going to take anything away from the Heat. As I've 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.000 told you, they're all heart love watching them play this year, 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.960 not just in the bubble, but the makeup of that team, 0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.600 starting from pat Riley, Eric Spoelstra to Jimmy Butler. But 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.480 Lebron and a d were simply too much and the 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:48.440 bubble added a whole different element here. And maybe it's hindsight, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:52.880 but there there was not a normal season. But if 0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:55.760 there was a normal season, the Lakers might have actually 0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.760 had an easier time when you come to think of it, 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.160 because they would have had fans there, would have a 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.920 home court advantage there, and I know other teams would 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:05.360 have had the same. The Clippers probably would have faced 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.480 the Lakers, they would have had home court advantage, and 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.960 maybe they wouldn't have blown the three games to one league, 0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.840 but spending three months in Orlando presented all kinds of 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:18.080 new challenges. You had social activism that was in there. 0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:21.079 The Lakers handled everything. They played one of their best 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.160 games in the playoffs last night, and they get the 0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:27.320 ultimate celebration. They get to go home and congratulations on 0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:31.520 an extremely well earned NBA championship. Here is Levan James 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.160 after the title saying what fuels him personally? Thinking I 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.560 have something to prove? Fuse me and I feeled me 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.959 about the last year and a half since my injury. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:46.280 They fueled me because no matter what I've done in 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:49.079 my carevits at this point, there's still a little rumblings 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.840 of doubt or you know, compared me to you know, 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.720 the history of the game, and has he done this, 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.440 has he done that? You know, So having that in 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.960 my head, having it in my mind, saying to myself, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.960 why not still have something to prove? I think if 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.320 he was Chris Mannox, who covers the NBA for Sports Illustrated, 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.320 what join us coming up? I got to take him 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.200 to task on a freezing cold take that he had 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.320 back in September where he said the Lakers were all 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:17.560 played for it, This is what Mannox had to say 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.400 back in September on this show. Yeah, I get killed 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.960 every year talking about the Lakers with you because I 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.640 tend to be more skeptical as I was last season. 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.800 But is it not more likely that the Lakers missed 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:33.760 the playoffs than the championship? I think that, wait this year, 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:38.640 right now, this year, so the odds are better that 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.560 they missed the playoffs than they win the championship. I 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:47.360 would say so, yes, Wow, okay Mannox will is coming 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.720 up in about fifteen minutes from now. Yes, mclob I 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.000 love your act. Condition Well, he was basing it off 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.920 of last year with what happened, and you turn over 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:58.720 the roster and it wasn't a great team as far 0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.520 as talent, but you had a D and you had 0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:06.200 Lebron James, and then the offseason, a D as noncommittal 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.320 about staying with the Lakers. He can opt out if 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.760 he wants to. I would think getting a taste of 0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.720 the title and still being able to play with Lebron James, 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.800 and you're gonna be in Los Angeles, You're gonna be 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.080 the favorites or co favorites, I would think going into 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.040 next year. But I don't know what Anthony Davis's thought 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.280 process is, certainly after winning a championship. Bub we'll talk 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.080 to Mannix. Coming up, The Cowboys have lost Dak Prescott. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.120 The Seahawks are the first five and oh team. The 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.200 Falcons have fired just about everyone on that staff, including 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.720 head coach Dan Quinn. Tonight, Chargers Saints Michael Thomas will 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:39.960 not play. It's not necessarily due to the ankle injury. 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.880 It's due to him having an altercation with the teammate 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.640 Tomorrow night. At least we hope the Bills and the 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.800 Titans will be playing as we always do. Best and 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.960 Worst of the weekend. If you'd like to email, you can. 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.320 You can tweet at DP show and of course the 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.839 phone of eight seven seven three DP Show Nick Levin, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.680 what kind of poll question do we have? By the way, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:02.200 this program is looking forward to November sixth and seventh. 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:06.000 World's best thoroughbreds compete in fourteen races at the Breeders' 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:09.240 Cup World Championships. Learn more at Breeders Cup dot com. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:13.200 Slash twenty twenty catch all the action live on NBC Sports. 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.599 Since everyone's obsessed with next, why wait for the confetti fall? 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.120 Who do you got next year, the Lakers or the Field? 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:22.960 And I guess that's only a question if you assume 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.640 Anthony Davis is coming back. But I was saying before 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.440 the show, I think they are a stronger favorite next 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.000 year than they are this year because the competition, all 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.640 the superstars are spread out a little bit. Well. I 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.400 don't know what's going to happen in Milwaukee, if they 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:38.320 bring in Chris Paul, if they do something there that 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:42.640 helps them, and I think they're one player away of 0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.080 certainly representing the East seventy six ers with Doc Rivers. 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:49.440 Not quite sure Toronto is going to reload. Maybe we'll 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.640 get more out of Pascal Siakam than they did in 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.760 the bubble out West with the Clippers, what do they do? 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.400 Denver is going to be a force. Portland, if they're healthy, 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.960 is going to be a force. Houston, we don't know. 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.320 If you said Lakers in the field, I'd probably take 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.080 the field right now because I'm not quite sure what's 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.920 going to happen with Anthony Davis. And you know, there's 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.919 a lot of credit that should be spread around with 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.960 the Lakers. I start with Lebron because you know how 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.120 I feel about Lebron ad came in and I think 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.159 he realized what it takes to be a big time 0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.279 basketball player. It's one thing to put up stats in 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.000 New Orleans. It's another thing when you're on the big stage. 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.800 You're with the Lakers, you're playing for a championship. You 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.240 understand what that championship means to that city and what 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.800 it means to what your legacy is going to be. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.719 You won a championship. Man, he was one of the 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.159 better players on the floor. At times, he was the 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:45.039 best player on the floor. You know, their bench player, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:48.920 role players at times you weren't quite sure called well. 0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:53.200 Pope played well. Rajon Rondo played well at times, Dwight Howard. 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.680 You know, they just had a sprinkling in there that 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.480 was just enough. I can't say enough about the Miami 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.880 Heat and Jimmy Butler and how he brought out the 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.360 best in his teammates. And you saw that. I mean, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.479 they at least got the Lakers attention winning those two 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:11.840 games and Jimmy Butler, and I was curious just how 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.600 much of a force Jimmy Butler was. And people thought 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:17.560 I was crazy two games ago when I said, Jimmy 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.320 Butler is not going to win the MVP, but I 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.880 hope people consider him putting consideration for him to win 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.520 the MV pick. It's only happened once with my beloved 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.360 Jerry West winning the MVP when the Lakers lost to 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:32.920 the Celtics. The twenty twenty NBA Finals might be remembered 0:07:32.920 --> 0:07:36.520 as a great duel between Lebron and Jimmy Butler. Butler's 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:40.920 scored or assisted on fifty one percent of Miami's total 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:47.240 field goals. Lebron scored or assisted on fifty percent of 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.400 the Lakers total. Also, consider this about Lebron James and 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:53.520 I'm not going to get into that goat. We're not 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.560 doing that discussion because I'm not changing your opinion. Even 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:00.000 when Mannix comes on, I'm not talking about the goat. 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.920 We're not going to do it. Lebron has won four championships. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.840 He's been the Finals MVP for each of those four. 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.880 In each of the four series, he has led his 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:13.680 team in points, rebounds, and assist Michael Jordan never had 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.480 a Finals in which he led the Bulls in all 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:19.880 three categories. You're seeing something special. You may not buy 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.080 into it, as you know, Paul Pierce doesn't think he's 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.960 the top five. Charles Barkley doesn't think he's the top five. 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.840 That's on them for whatever their feelings are. Charles played 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.240 in a different era and he wants to acknowledge those 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.320 players he played against. That's his progative. Paul Pierce, for 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.160 some reason, thinks he's as good as Lebron James or 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.200 forgets what happened when Paul Pierce didn't have KG. And 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.079 you know ray Allen Lebron is a top five player 0:08:46.120 --> 0:08:48.680 of all time. You don't want to put him in 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.400 the conversation with Michael that's okay. You don't want to 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:53.240 do it with Kareem, or you don't want to put 0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.480 him in with Kobe, or it's okay. He's a top 0:08:55.480 --> 0:09:00.199 five player of all time. And I can't convince, not 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.240 try to convince. It's politics, it's your favorite band. I 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.360 can't change, and I won't. I just try to enlighten 0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:11.520 you and say what you're seeing is unique. He has 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:16.760 played in two hundred and sixty playoff games and he 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.360 hasn't missed one, and he averaging a triple double at 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.640 his age. Tack on two more seasons a playoff basketball 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:28.839 and by the way, his career is still going on, 0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:33.600 so I hope you at least appreciate it. You may 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.680 not like him. There are times that I don't like 0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.760 his passive aggressive I don't like that, you know sometimes 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.280 what he says you know about teammates. But when I 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.800 see him on the basketball floor, I am seeing somebody 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:50.480 that is unique, unique to the game, and hopefully people 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.840 while he's still playing will appreciate that. But you know, 0:09:54.840 --> 0:09:57.240 I don't want to infringe on anybody's turf here and 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.560 say that he's somehow better than I think he's a 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.880 top five player. Whoever else you want to sprinkle in there, 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.360 that's up to you. I'll hold firm that Lebron James 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.160 is one of the top five players of all time, 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:11.120 and when he's all said and done, we'll look at him. 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:14.880 This will be the greatest basketball career I think anybody 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:22.120 has ever put forth. And I'm talking about stats, awards, longevity, consistency, domination, 0:10:22.760 --> 0:10:25.400 like who is the best player in his sport at 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:30.080 this age, an age where you have to play offense 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:33.439 and defense, where I can double team you. I had 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:36.319 to laugh when Jay Williams and Jay's not the only guy, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.560 but the former Duke player said that Lebron should have 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.480 taken the shot the other night when he threw it 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.080 out to Danny Green. Why is it when Jordan makes 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.480 a pass to Steve Kerr John Paxson and they make 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.640 the shot, it's a great pass. But if Lebron throws 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.200 a pass and somebody misses the shot, then it's bad. 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.520 If Danny Green hits that shot, do we criticize Lebron? 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.880 I maybe not. When Anthony Davis hit that shot against 0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.440 the Nuggets, that all that was a good pass. But 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.360 if he misses it, Lebron shot away. Lebron did shy 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.200 away from shots early in his career, right there with you. 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.720 I mean, I don't look at this, you know, through 0:11:14.840 --> 0:11:18.120 rose colored glasses and say Lebron doesn't do you know, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.160 or he has mistakes or he lays eggs, or he 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.880 you know, bows out of you know, series against the Celtics. 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.240 I understand all of that. You're seeing somebody play the 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:30.400 game at an extremely high level, and they're doing it 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:33.840 on the biggest stage. And he did it again against 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:37.080 the Miami Heat. I know in the bubble, didn't have 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.559 to face anybody. Greg. Okay, we can throw it out there, 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.360 we can put asked, and put an ask and put 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:48.199 five asterisks there, kiss my asterisk? What other poll questions 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.960 you got my gloving? Okay, NFL, I'm not sure where 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.959 to start exactly, but have we been doing it all year? 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.120 Why not jump into that MVP race. It's crazy how 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.000 many MVP guys there are. Right now, I'm going to 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:05.880 give you these quarterbacks throw interceptions anymore? Now wait, I 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:09.120 got it right here. This is crazy. You know there's 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:13.440 no pass interference or there there. You know you're allowed 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.120 to pretty much have free rain down the field. Russell 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:20.240 Wilson Junior, the third He's got nineteen touchdowns, three picks. 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:27.240 Patrick Mahomes thirteen and one, Derek Carr eleven and one interception. 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:33.280 Josh Allen twelve touchdowns, one interception. Aaron Rodgers thirteen touchdowns, 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:40.280 zero interceptions. Ben Roethlisberger ten touchdowns, one interception, Ryan Tannehill 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:44.800 nine touchdowns, one interception. There's no holding calls like you 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.240 just it feels like, you know, this is like college football, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:50.720 because it used to be you'd go, man, these guys 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.520 are completing seventy percent of their passes. Now it's the 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.319 same thing with the NFL. It's kind of crazy so 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.760 trying to. I mean, Russell Wilson is your MVP so far, 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:04.920 but you know there's there's a pretty good grouping in there. Yeah, McLean. Yeah. 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.480 If you take out the former MVPs Aaron Rodgers and 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.199 Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes and take out Russell Wilson the 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.200 front ruder, are any of these guys legit? Derek Carr, 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.760 Ben Roethlisberger. Who you told us to watch out for? 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:20.840 Ben is Josh Allen? Yes? And that just one dark horse. 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.319 Aaron Donald's leading the league in sacks for an inside 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:27.840 interior lineman. That's never I don't think that's happened in decades. 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:31.000 I would love to see him get more respect with 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:33.280 what he's doing. Because we fell in love, We fond 0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:36.520 all over, slobbered all over JJ Watt. We should be 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.640 doing the same thing with Aaron Donald, as great as 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.560 he is, because he's the best defensive player in the NFL. 0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.840 It's not even close. Yes, club, we kind of do 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.240 a little bit. It's a little different than JJ Watt, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:53.679 But Aaron Donald has no national ends. We don't focus 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:58.240 him on him before the game. You know, JJ Watt 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:00.800 could be tossing a football with a five year old 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.400 on the field, and you know we're going to turn 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:06.320 that into a tomer and oldie feature. Actually write the 0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:08.600 story like Jatt was in Bad Moms. I mean he 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:10.400 was in a movie crushed it, by the way, Yeah, 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:12.079 of course he did the story yesterday. He was that 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:17.720 aer Donald almost ended our Alex Smith. I don't know 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:21.320 if his second or third play, but you know, Dwayne 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:25.280 Haskins not only gets benched, he's inactive, and so Kyle 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.080 Allen gets banged up, and I go, they they can't 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.560 put it in Alex Smith, Like I thought, maybe you 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.040 have an emergency wide receiver who played quarterback in high school, 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.240 and all of a sudden he comes on the field 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:37.960 and they go to commercial and goal. No, don't go 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.320 to commercial. I just want to see him walk in 0:14:41.440 --> 0:14:43.960 or run in or walk you know, warm up. And 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:46.560 then his family gave him standing ovation, his wife and 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:50.240 their three kids, and then he throws that little you know, 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:52.760 passing the flat, and I go, ok okay, okay, okay, 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:54.960 don't do anything else, just hand the ball off. Like 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.520 I thought I was watching my son. I thought I 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.040 was watching somebody in my family. And then all of 0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.640 a sudden Aaron Donald is, you know, doing a piggyback 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.840 ride on him, And I go, oh my god, this 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.360 is a guy who you know, he nearly lost his life, 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.960 nearly lost his leg, and here he is out there 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:15.960 playing like anybody else for a comeback player of the year. 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:19.400 Like what else could somebody do for comeback player of 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:22.080 the year? Like if Dak Prescott somehow came back at 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:24.720 the end of the year, that would be, you know, 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.280 something that might come close to this. Yeah, it's such 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.520 a great story when Alex Smith came back in yesterday. 0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:30.920 But as soon as he's in, it's like, all right, 0:15:30.960 --> 0:15:32.280 give him a snap and then get him out of there, 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:34.800 because it was very tough to watch. And that's like 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.360 the Rams defensive lineman. They should have just taken a 0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:39.040 few plays off and let him me he's in, just 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:44.240 to be gentlemen. Oh yeah, Aaron Donald was not going 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:47.240 to do that. What else do you have? McLevin? Is 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:52.720 it panic time in Kansas City? No? But but I 0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:58.360 did notice something yesterday. I thought Patrick Mahomes looked rattled 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.400 and I had not seen that in a long time. 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:05.800 The Raiders play great, they did and handed it to him, 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.560 But you know, he's twenty two or forty three, and 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.760 I saw something different with Patrick Mahomes. I you know, 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.200 it's not, hey, now, let's panic here. He just got 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:21.000 outplayed and you're gonna have these games. They're not going undefeated, obviously, 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:24.520 but Mahomes looked a little rattled yesterday and not seen that. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.000 He looked uncomfortable the Niners with Jimmy Garoppolo, Like, that's 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.080 just something to keep an eye on the entire season, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.000 because I don't know if he was benched, benched or 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:38.160 just benched because he's still battling an injury. And I'm 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.640 not sure when they brought in C. J. Beathard. I'm 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.640 not sold on Garoppolo. I don't think he's a franchise quarterback. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:49.040 But you got smoked by the Miami Dolphins. Where were 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:51.320 the Dolphins last week? With my bet that they would 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:55.280 beat the Seattle Seahawks at home? That was a surprising 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.360 outcome there. Yes, I love him here, but I really 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.280 want to do it. It's totally aside from all the 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:05.400 huge stories. Boy do we love or just like all 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:10.680 this scoring in college football it is? I love it. Well. 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.760 I can't blame big twelve defenses anymore. Because it used 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:15.720 to be Big twelve. They don't play any defense. The 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:21.000 SEC's not playing any defense. Alabama gave up forty eight 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:30.000 and one. LSU ls, you couldn't stop Missouri. I came 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.639 in on a Monday morning and said I felt sorry 0:17:32.680 --> 0:17:35.680 for Missouri football when they played in Alabama, Like I 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:39.719 truly felt sorry watching a team play and they beat LSU. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:42.440 That phrase, and everyone said LSU couldn't stop Missouri. You 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.199 were just the first person on earth to say it. 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:46.920 Oh my god. All right, I'll get to your phone calls. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.240 We got a lot of things to dive into. Edward 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.119 Er covers the Cowboys will join us coming up. The terrible, 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:56.119 devastating injury with Dak Prescott. What that means for the 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.800 Cowboys moving forward. I have to apologize to an NFL, 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:03.399 although mclovin says they don't deserve my apology, but I 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.320 will still apologize to them.

Your 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:51.680 Los Angeles Lakers are the favorites, followed by the LA Clippers, 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:57.280 Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:02.720 Toronto Raptors. But the Lakers are the overwhelming favorites, followed 0:20:02.760 --> 0:20:06.760 by the Clippers, Bucks, and the Golden State Warriors. I'm 0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:09.119 curious what Golden State is going to do in the 0:20:09.200 --> 0:20:12.920 draft because they have the second pick overall. And if 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:14.840 you get somebody as that person going to be able 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.840 to contribute. If you have Draymond Green, you have Steph 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:20.360 and you have Clay, what else are you going to do? 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.840 You know, James Wiseman, the big man. You know that 0:20:24.960 --> 0:20:27.480 a Memphis played what eleven games or something like that. 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:29.919 You know is that somebody that you want to add 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.080 what kind of missing ingredient there for Golden State? Where 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.160 I guess we're not sure about Golden State, but we should. 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:39.680 We should be sure about Golden State if Clay Thompson's 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.399 going to be healthy. I'm surprised that they're not above 0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:46.399 the Clippers as the second favorite to win the title. Yes, point, 0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:49.199 if you're Golden State, do you want a young nineteen 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.080 year old to develop for the next four years or 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.760 do you want to trade that for I don't know what, 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:56.639 but it doesn't seem like that's gold States plans to 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.720 have a nineteen year old. This is not the year 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.159 to have the first or second can pick overall, and 0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.520 Minnesota has the number one pick overall. If you say, 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:08.640 you know, LaMelo ball is one of the top three players, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:11.159 I'm not too excited about that. I do think that 0:21:11.200 --> 0:21:13.640 he will be better than his brothers. He'll be better 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:16.840 than Lonzo, and I do like Lonzo's game, you know, 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.000 except that you can't shoot. But LaMelo is not a 0:21:20.000 --> 0:21:22.600 great shooter either. But he does have a lot of talent, 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:24.960 you know, for his dad, who was there holding the 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.639 ladder for James Naysmith. You know, when he was putting 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:29.399 up the first peach basket, you would have thought he 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:31.639 taught his kids how to shoot. The one who can 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.840 shoot is the one who can't play in the NBA. 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:38.800 Lo Angelo, he can actually shoot, He just can't play, 0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:42.000 and I have to apologize. I'm going to apologize to 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:44.560
