Last team to start five 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.800 and OHO and win the Super Bowl was the twenty 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:01.800 fifteen Broncos.

Good morning 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:14.240 if you're watching on Peacock and our radio affiliates around 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.080 the country. So back to Robert Sala. He was fired 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.440 about an hour ago. Brian Costello covers the Jets for 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.520 The New York Post kind enough to join us on 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.000 short notice? How did we get to this point? Brian? 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.360 Was he with us? 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.280 I don't think he's ready just yet. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:33.039 Then? Oh, okay, all right, we'll get to Brian here 0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.000 coming up in a moment. Stat of the Day brought 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.320 to you by Panini America, the official trading cards of 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:40.160 the Dan Patrick Show. Yes, PAULI, you know. 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.880 What's one weird thing? How tenuous was this? The Jets 0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.800 lose to the Broncos by one point. They had a 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.800 comeback the other day and they lost by six. So 0:01:50.000 --> 0:01:52.600 because of seven points, you fire your head coach because 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.920 I don't think a four and one team as far 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:57.080 as a coach, I know it's a loss of a loss, 0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:58.800 but doesn't feel that far away. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:03.440 Yeah, isn't he like twenty and thirty six? Yes, that's 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.720 the reason why I got fired. Well, let me bring 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:08.440 in Brian Costello covers the Jets for the New York Post. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.200 How did we get to this point, Brian. 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.600 Dan, I'm still processing it, but you know, I think 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:17.799 this season, there was such high expectations for the Jets 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.320 with Aaron Rodgers coming back, lots of super Bowl talk, 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.720 and they've looked They looked bad the last two weeks. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.640 You know, it was a one point lost to Denver, 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.280 and if Greg Zerline makes a fifty yard field goal, 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.480 maybe things are different. But they didn't. They had fifteen 0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:35.200 penalties in that game, thirteen that were accepted, five fallse starts, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:39.880 and you know, there's a clamoring there was. The fans 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:41.920 were starting to get restless, and I think Woody Johnson 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.360 listens to the fans. I think he spends a lot 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:46.840 of time on Twitter and he has people in his 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:50.079 family that do and I think he you know that Sunday. 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:52.600 I also think, Dan, you can't overlook the game being 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.639 in London on Sunday. He was the ambassador of the 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:56.760 United Kingdom. He know, he's got a lot of friends 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.840 over there. I'm sure he was embarrassed with the way 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.480 they played and that probably played a factor in this 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:01.919 as well. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:04.560 So you're surprised. 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:05.680 I'm surprised. 0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:05.959 Yeah. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.400 I look, I've been asked after last week, I was 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.440 asked a bunch of times beat by people on different 0:03:10.480 --> 0:03:14.200 shows and stuff, and you know, I thought, they have 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.120 a stretch here where they have three standalone games in 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:18.959 a row. They were on an NFL network Sunday morning, 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.480 they play Monday Night Football this week against the Bills, 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.040 and then they play Sunday Night Football in Pittsburgh. So 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.600 that's three games where you have a national audience. I 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.400 said to people, if they lose those three games, then 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.000 I think he's in trouble because that then it's you know, 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.520 all the morning shows are talking about him, everyone's talking 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:37.320 about it. Then I think something could happen. But again, 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:40.520 the Jets haven't changed coaches mid season since nineteen seventy 0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.800 six when Lou Holtz quit, So this is not like 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.119 and they've had you know, Rich Kotite was the coach 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.120 they went one to fifteen. Adam Gase was the coach. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.560 They were oh and thirteen to start that season. Todd 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.080 Bowles last season, there was clear there was calls for 0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.360 them to fire him midseason. Everyone knew he was gone 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.080 and it hasn't happened. So this is this is surprising 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:00.960 because the Jets just this is not the way they've 0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:03.520 operated in a long long time. 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:08.040 I wondered, if you fire Robert Sala, if you're still 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:10.760 going to try to get Davante Adams, Like, I don't 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.200 know if those two are connected or not. 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.000 Brian, Yeah, I don't see a connection there. Davante doesn't 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.880 know Sala. I mean, Davante's tie to the Jets is 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:21.200 obvious with the quarterback, So that's that's the tie. And 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:25.520 I don't think this changes anything in terms of DeVante Adams. Yeah, 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:27.360 I don't think. I don't think that's related in I 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.160 think this is just purely about what what Woody Johnson's 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:31.560 seen the last couple of weeks on the field. 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.040 Well, I didn't know if they would not fire him, 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.000 they'd given the benefit of the doubt if they were 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:37.479 going to bring in Davante Adams. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:39.080 So yeah, yeah, I'm not sure. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:40.800 I'm not sure if that I think this is I 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.440 think the DeVante Adams thing is more than Joe Joe 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.280 Douglas negotiating that right now, this is Woody Johnson deciding 0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:47.239 to move on from Sala. 0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:47.800 Man. 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:51.479 This is crazy, but we shouldn't be surprised. But we 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.520 are surprised. Why is that? It's the Jets. 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:57.479 Well, I mean, Dan, if you had me on nine 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:00.760 days ago, right, they beat the Patriots on Thursday Night Football, 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.720 They look good, right, Rogers was Rogers was Rogers. He 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.560 was controlling it. Everyone's like, oh, they're going to the 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.400 super Bowl and then here they go. They hit their stride. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.440 They figured it out. I mean, Dad, we were asking 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.400 questions that week before the Broncos game of you know, 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.960 do you guys have to handle prosperity? Well here like, 0:05:19.000 --> 0:05:19.680 do you guys. 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:20.440 Not have to get big hits? 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:23.480 We were literally asking these questions in the locker room 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.880 two weeks ago. And now he's fired, Like it's this league. 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.479 Is the NFL is insane? Which is how weak the 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:33.840 week it is? And you know, obviously there was a 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:35.600 case to be made that Sala should have been fired 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:36.040 last year. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.200 Yeah right, but he got. 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.240 Kind of got a mulligan because Aaron Rodgers missed the 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.400 whole season and they brought him back. But you could 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.520 tell talking to Woody Johnson, we talked to him at 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.679 NFL honors before the Super Bowl. He was basically saying 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.719 like this is it, Like this is your last chance. 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.680 And so I think he entered on shaky ground and 0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:54.720 then things just got shaker in the last two weeks here. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.599 How do you think the players are going to react 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:56.840 to this. 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.640 I talked to a couple of morning. They're pretty surprised 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.400 right now. They didn't see this coming. You know, players 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:08.719 are pretty resilient and not much phases them. So I 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.840 think I don't think it's changed as much. Dan. That's 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.280 my issue with this is the offense has been the problem. Yeah, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.839 solves the defensive coach. The defense gave up ten points 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:21.400 to the Broncos. They gave up sixteen points to the Vikings. 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.040 One touchdown was a pick six, right, So the defense 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.000 hasn't been the problem. The offense has been the problem. 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.360 What does this change offensively? You've now made the defensive 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.120 coordinator who basically designed the defense along with Salah the 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:36.000 head coach. Maybe a change in voice helps. But to me, Dan, 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:38.040 this is a ten and seven team. You know, That's 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:39.880 what I thought coming in the season. I still think 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.400 they can go ten and seven, and now it's but 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:43.880 now you know, if they win a few games in 0:06:43.880 --> 0:06:45.360 a row, it's gonna be oh well, oh Brick did 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.400 it where? I just I just don't think this changed 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:47.800 as much. 0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:51.520 Do you think whatdy Johnson gave Aaron Rodgers a heads 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:52.640 up before this happened. 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.760 Yeah, that's the that's the question right now that I have. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.520 I would think he probably would have, but I don't 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.600 know that for sure right now, But I think if 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.760 you didn't run it by them, that that's an interesting decision. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:09.320 You always have drama in your job. Is that a 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.239 good thing? That you always have drama? 0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.000 It gives me job security. Dan, I'll say that, you know, 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.240 this beats never boring. When the New York Post makes 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.280 the list of jobs and maybe we can get maybe 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:24.000 we can live without this one, Jets Beat is not 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.560 on that list. So uh yeah, but it's it's you know, 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.480 I just texted my wife. I said, the plans have 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.120 changed for the week different. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.040 Thank you, Brian. 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:36.880 Thanks Dan. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:41.720 That's Brian Costello, Jets Beat reporter for the New York Post. Yeah, 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:45.960 you got drama. You don't have high highs, like like, 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:48.200 if you're covering some of these teams that get a 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:50.240 chance to go to the Super Bowl or an NFC 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.880 title game or AFC title game. With the Jets, there's 0:07:53.920 --> 0:07:57.320 always going to be a storyline. The question is is 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:01.680 it going to be a positive storyline. I remember being 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:05.320 around the Jets when Mark Gastineau was there, and they 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.440 were a good team. You know, Ken O'Brien, But the 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.440 Giants were a better team at the time. But they 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:16.320 had h Marty Lines and Joe Klecko. They had a 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:22.920 really good defensive line. Freeman McNeil, al Toon was really good, 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:29.880 Wesley Walker, they were I mean, they they were close 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:34.040 to being a really good team, and so there wasn't 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.040 really drama back then. I think Joe Walton was the 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.000 head coach. But I think that's the first time I 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:46.720 was around Richard Todd. So I was never around when Namath. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.960 I wasn't covering them. I wasn't old enough to be 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.800 covering them back then. It started in the early eighties. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:56.920 But I remember Gastoneau was always a storyline because he 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:01.240 was he was dating Brigitte Nielsen. Oh really, yes, yes, 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.760 and he had I think he had a Rolls Royce 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:06.240 and he was a big deal. He wasn't well liked 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:10.280 by his teammates. I mean, I thought Joe Kleco was 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:12.160 the heart and soul of that team. He was one 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.560 of my favorite players. But you know, you're out there 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:20.000 covering these teams, and you kind of juxtapose that with 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.120 the Giants, with Bill Parcells. Belichick was there, you got 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.320 LT you got you know, Phil Simms, Joe Morris. But 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:31.520 the Jets were holding their own, you know, they just 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.360 couldn't they couldn't get over that hump. The Giants, of 0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.400 course won the Super Bowl. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.680 Yes, Pung, It's such an awkward week to do it 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.800 because now you have a standalone Monday night football game 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.480 versus Buffalo for the media just chop it up preview 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:44.880 the game. 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:50.120 Wow, But you don't want him to win his way 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.040 out of this. If you're planning on firing him, I 0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:56.280 guess that you're going to have these standalone games. They 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.320 can lose all three of these and then you can go, Okay, 0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:02.439 now if he wins two or three, are like, I 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.120 don't know if we can fire him after will win 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:05.199 against Pittsburgh. 0:10:05.320 --> 0:10:09.079 Yeah, it's almost like that's why you fired him this 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.040 week is because you have a standalone game coming up, 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.720 and as ownership, you could be like Sea fans, we're trying. 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:21.520 Oh, I mean, it's all pr right. It starts from 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:28.560 the top, I mean it does. Now does Rogers Tuesdays? 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.959 Does he talk or is that with McAfee or is 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:31.520 that both? 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.600 Usually the quarterback speaks either Tuesday or Wednesday to the 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.559 gathered media, and he also has his obligation with McAfee. 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.320 I mean, Rodgers has to answer some of these questions. Aaron, 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.199 why did you have your coach fired? Who did the 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:49.240 code red? Aaron? The defense has been great, the offense 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:54.679 has been terrible, which is true. Robert Sawah doesn't have 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:56.000 anything to do with the offense. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:58.720 Oh man, what a mess? 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.040 What a miss? Chris in Pennsylvania? Hi, Chris, what's on 0:11:02.080 --> 0:11:02.440 your mind? 0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:07.520 Hey you good morning? So Rogers, you know he's getting 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.199 a lot of blame here, But what happened to the 0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.839 running game? Let's talk about brief Hall and Brayln Allen Man, 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:17.040 they just like both disappeared the last two games. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.959 Yeah, but I think this is more systemic with that that. 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.840 You're right. Should they have a better running game? Yeah? 0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:27.280 They should have a better offense. You know, if you 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:29.040 have a better passing game, you can have a better 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.880 running game and vice versa. They just they haven't. It 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.439 hadn't synced up yet. There's plenty of blame to go around, 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:40.079 there always is with the Jets. Dave and San Antonio. Hi, Dave, 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:40.880 what's on your mind? 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.240 Hey, good morning guys. I hate to take us off 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:47.760 topics here for a second, but I'm dropping my kid off. 0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:49.920 I get home a little bit earlier than usual. I 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:55.480 put on Dan Patrick on peacock. I'm watching Marvin shoot 0:11:55.559 --> 0:11:59.120 baskets and I'm looking at Marvin shoot baskets and I'm like, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.040 what is going on here? 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:01.360 Man? 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.000 Marvin like brothers don't shoot like that. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:04.320 Dan. 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:05.280 I know you're a shooter. 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:05.600 Man. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:07.439 You haven't been out there with Marvin. Help him on 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:08.240 the court. 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:09.760 You got to help my brother out. 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:14.040 I he never asked for help. I always wait if 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:17.400 somebody asks for help, then I'll help them. And Marvin 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:20.800 hasn't asked for help with shooting. Do you need help? 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.360 Do I? 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:25.320 I don't think so, okay, so then I'm not going 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.560 to help you. But if you said to me, I 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.600 setan I didn't notice something with Seaton where he was shooting, 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.600 and he would move he would move it off his 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.920 head to his side, and I said, no, just keep 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:39.800 it on the side. Don't move it from the head 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.320 to the side because it's taking longer to get your 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:45.880 shot off. That was all. It's just a nice Hey, 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.360 I noticed this, but I don't want to give you 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:52.240 a tutorial on shooting. You know what, during a break 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:57.280 help me. I'll need more time than that the break 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:57.640 after that. 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.920 If you want to start a service, you people send 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.720 in videos and then you break down their form, it's like, well, 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:11.080 charge like a monthly fee for it or something, you 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:11.400 know what. 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.600 I have to do this Happy Gilmore thing, So I 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:17.160 don't have time right now. I found out I'm in 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.160 two scenes with Happy Gilmore, and I think I'm shooting 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:26.480 my scenes here, I think, but I don't know. I 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:30.400 just heard from Samler this morning and he said, Danny, 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:34.200 you're gonna need a wardrobe change for two scenes. And 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.400 I said, okay, So I'll find out exactly what that is. 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.560 But look if I can help. I mean, I took 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:42.200 time out to help Ray Allen when he came in a. 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.000 Little late, though he'd already played a couple thousand games. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.319 I don't think it's ever too late. I'm still trying 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:53.000 to perfect my shot, and we'll always try to perfect 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:56.600 my shot. I only want to hit the rim. I 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.920 want the net, and then I don't even want the 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:03.520 net to move. Marvin, I don't know if I can 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.679 help you, if you don't want to be that great 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.920 like you coulda want it, and if not, I'm not 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:12.280 wasting my time anymore. You know what I want it? No, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:14.959 I didn't believe that at all. Oh, it's all. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.400 Let's move logs. 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.160 I don't know what it's gonna do about helping my 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.960 eye shot, but we're gonna move logs. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.600 Yes. Oh, I just saw a video. 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:26.640 Reggie Miller's fifty nine years old. He posted a video 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.600 him just jacking from deep. 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.360 No problem, no, no problem, nope. And you know those 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.040 who haven't have it and they never lose it. It's 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.960 just it's it's magic in your hand. But it's a 0:14:39.000 --> 0:14:42.920 small fraternity of us that you know, it just never leaves. 0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:43.920 Show us a handshaked in. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.960 No can't. You almost tricked me into showing you the 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:52.400 secret handshake, because if I see Steph Curry, I just 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.920 give him the nod and then he knows it's time 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:57.800 for the secret handshake. And I hope Klay Thompson gets 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:01.440 back in the fraternity, you know, I hope. So did 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:07.920 you see where Luca bet one of his teammates. I 0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.200 think it was one hundred thousand dollars this was during 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.280 this is like a couple of days ago. Then he 0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.960 would make a full court shot. They had like some 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.920 fan past or something, and Luca made it for one 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:24.320 hundred thousand dollars. Did you see that? I don't know, 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.480 maybe you didn't see the video, but it is. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:27.320 It's pretty funny. 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:30.080 It is wild. Yeah, but I think I don't know 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.440 what the bet was. So Luca is going to make 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:36.240 one hundred thousand, but uh, I think one of his 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:43.640 younger teammates cost him one hundred large Derek Lively, Yes, yeah, yeah, 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.160 And you could see his reaction when Luca makes a 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.880 full court shot. It's like, damn yeah, Pauline. 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:53.160 Luca's underneath the opposing basket about three feet out. Yeah, 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.680 he doesn't even step up. It's like a hook shot 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.440 you would do in horse in your backyard, but from 0:15:58.920 --> 0:15:59.640 eighty five. 0:15:59.440 --> 0:16:05.080 Feet probably further than Yeah. Yeah, for one hundred thousand dollars. 0:16:05.640 --> 0:16:08.080 All right, let me take a break. Bob Costas he 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.120 will join us coming up next.

You got 0:16:36.400 --> 0:16:39.120 baseball coming up later on today you got the Phillies 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.320 and the Mets, and then you got Dodgers at the 0:16:41.360 --> 0:16:45.080 Padres coming up at nine Eastern. Bob Costas on the 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.200 call for the Yankees game with the Kansas City Royals, 0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:51.800 MLB Network host and Hall of Fame sportscaster. When the 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.440 playoffs started, Bob, a couple of baseball writers said, all 0:16:55.560 --> 0:17:00.640 twelve teams could win the World Series the same way 0:17:00.720 --> 0:17:03.359 when that happened, when that started, Well. 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.920 All twelve teams have a shot to win a given series. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.919 And as I said to you before, if when the 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:13.000 playoffs start under this format, you could take any team 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.280 you want from either league and I take the field, 0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:19.399 I'd like my chances because so many good teams one 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:23.000 hundred win teams have been knocked out. Especially treacherous is 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:26.840 the division series round with the odd number of off days, 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.800 so a lesser team can get by, maybe with only 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.000 two good starters. Detroit may get by with only one 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.640 good starter, but he's the best pitcher in baseball, best 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.360 starter in baseball this year. Once you get to the LCS, 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:42.320 it's a more legitimate test. But think about last year. 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.600 The Diamondbacks knock off the Dodgers, a team that finished 0:17:45.600 --> 0:17:48.400 sixteen games ahead of them in the same division. They 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.639 get all the way through to the World Series. The 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:53.240 team they meet, the Texas Rangers, is in effect a 0:17:53.280 --> 0:17:56.320 wildcard team. They tied the Astros for first place, but 0:17:56.359 --> 0:17:57.840 there was a tie breaker, so they had to play 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.159 in the wildcard round. So both those teams that in 0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:03.000 the Wildcard round, they both made it to the World Series. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.119 Were they the best teams in their respective leagues over 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.639 the course of the season. No, But the days of 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.280 an old Pennant race win it, or even the old 0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:13.119 LCS win the division, have to finish first, go to 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.960 the LCS. That's the one thing that you get to 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.439 the World Series. Those days are behind us. There's a 0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:20.119 lot of pluses to this. I mean, there's been a 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:21.840 lot of great games, and I've had a lot of 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:23.760 people say, you know, it just almost feels like March 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:26.359 Madness in a sense. I'm watching four games at once, 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.920 and we're going around with the highlights that everybody's got 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.600 a shot and there are interesting things happening, and that's 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:34.200 what baseball wanted. And even if you're not among the 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:37.520 twelve teams, there were enough teams close enough into the 0:18:37.600 --> 0:18:40.760 last week or so to keep their fan bases engaged. 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.960 That's the trade off, or you're going to always get 0:18:43.000 --> 0:18:46.240 the purest matchup between the two best teams in the league. No, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.720 in fact, I would think less often than not would 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.160 that would happen. But there are upsides to the setup too. 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:56.200 I love the best of three. I just it created tension, 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.480 immediacy in each game mattered. And maybe it's not fair, 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:05.040 but I always feel like if you got one hundred 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.399 and sixty two games to alter your course there and 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:09.840 if it comes down to this, and you know, some 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.639 of these teams had all three home games if they 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.480 got to that, so I was fine with it. I 0:19:16.520 --> 0:19:19.320 don't want all the playoffs series like that. Where do 0:19:19.320 --> 0:19:19.960 you stand on that? 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:23.439 Well, the difference between baseball and other sports has to 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.320 be taken into account. Baseball plays one hundred and sixty 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.439 two twice as many as the NHL and the NBA 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:32.879
