Last 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.560 and We've got you covered. Go to Dan Patrick dot com. 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.080 The NBA for the past decade was fairly predictable when 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:08.880 you think about it, because for the most part, we 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:12.279 had either the Warriors in there, or we have a 0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:16.160 Lebron James led team in the finals. But now playoffs 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:19.760 are wide open. It's pure chaos because last night and 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:22.360 the Clippers and Hawks tied up their second round series 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:25.360 at two piece. The Bucks and Nets are tied it 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.640 to a piece. Brooklyn's health questions looming. The Sun's had 0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.039 an easy time of it, so they're just waiting for 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.839 whoever wins the Clippers or the Jazz series. The Nets 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:39.759 are still the overall favorite in Vegas, but it's clear 0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.080 that this year's title is truly up for grabs. And 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:45.880 you go back to what happened the last decade or so. 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.040 It was great for TV ratings when you had Steph 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.480 Curry or Lebron James. You won't have that luxury. You 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:57.280 do have storylines here, some familiar faces with Kawhi Kevin Durant, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.440 but there are a lot of medical issues to worry about, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.440 and we may not have teams we're used to having 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:07.120 in the finals, but at least the postseason isn't predictable. 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:09.480 I don't know if that's what you want, that's what 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.120 you root for, but that's what you have. It's almost 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.760 like a March madness feel to this right now, But 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:18.920 it's based on injuries. And this is what I'm trying 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:22.200 to understand. And I know it's a different era, and 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.640 I know that athletes have the ability. They've opened the 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:31.320 door for pacing load management. But if you have all 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:39.040 this load management technology, better medicine, health, nutrition, diet, why 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:43.240 do we have all these injuries with marquee players. They 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.880 play less minutes less games. And this is a battle 0:02:48.919 --> 0:02:53.120 of attrition right now. And I wonder what's going to happen. 0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.880 Let's say the Clippers get to the NBA Finals, do 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.680 we look at load management differently? We're gonna say, yep, 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.160 see it worked for him. Whereas Anthony Davis to me, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.080 wasn't in shape this year. James Harden wasn't in shape 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:08.600 this year. You've got Kyrie who's got a sprained ankle. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:11.000 He's checked out a couple of times from the lineup. 0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:14.519 You know, Lebron had the sprained ankle. Now sprained ankles. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.160 That's happened, that will continue to happen. There's nothing you 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.040 can do about that. But I do think with Anthony 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.600 Davis with the groin injury, I just don't think that 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:26.840 he was in great shape. Joe l Embiid has the 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.680 knee injury. I don't know if he's ever been in 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.720 great shape. I don't know if he's carrying too much weight. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.519 I don't know if that happens something to do with this. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.480 But when you start to look at today's athlete and 0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.840 I think you're going to have load management in the NFL. 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.720 I know the NFL is not bringing that up right now, 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.840 but seventeen games, it just feels like there will be 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:53.160 load management at some point. We haven't in you know, 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.720 our baseball players, the pitchers, there's load management there. Uh, 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.200 load up, throw as hard as you can, for long 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.840 as you can, and then we're going to take you out. 0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:06.440 Nobody's pitching nine innings like we're shocked. If somebody has 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.040 a complete game, they're like, oh my god, you got 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:14.800 a complete game. Nobody's playing forty minutes in basketball, and 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:19.719 it feels like they're taking you more time off too, 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:25.680 extend their careers more contracts. Now you get another contract 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:29.840 in there. Lebron James has played four hundred more games 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:36.040 than Larry Bird did. Now just regular season. He has 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.640 three times as many postseason games as Larry Bird. But 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:43.279 if Larry Bird was able to have load management, he 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.200 would have extended his career. Steve Nash had a bad 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.080 back load management, maybe he would have extended his career. Yeah, seton. 0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.160 But like James Harden has played almost as many games 0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.320 as Magic Johnson and less seasons and is somehow softer 0:04:58.520 --> 0:05:01.920 because there's load management now, whereas Magic would have somehow 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:04.200 we would think he would have just played every game. 0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:05.960 But James Harden has played just as many games as 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.880 Magic Johnson. Yeah, he just wasn't in shape. You know, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.000 he went through the motions in Houston, and I think 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:16.599 it's caught up with him with his hamstring injury. But 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:19.160 you know, you start to see then Kevin Durant, Kevin 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.880 Durant coming back from the Achilles and not looking like 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:25.400 he missed any anything, but he had that time off. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.120 Clay Thompson is going to have all that time off 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:33.560 with Golden State. Yeah, Paul. Ten years ago, twenty five 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.520 NBA players during the regular season average thirty eight or 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:39.679 more minutes played per game. This season, not one NBA 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.840 player played more than thirty eight minutes per game. Yeah, 0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:46.240 it's totally different. Yeah, and you're you're watching this even 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:48.600 within bead last night. You know, he shouldn't have been 0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.400 out there because he was hurting his team. And give 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.760 credit to the Hawks. They came, they were eighteen down, 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.280 but they didn't turn the ball over. I think they 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.880 may have turned the ball over four times last night. 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.960 That series, I had two games apiece and Trey Young 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:05.960 had eighteen assists twenty five points, eighteen assists. Clippers beat 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.279 the Jazz. That series tied to two games apiece. And 0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:11.880 what a big game tonight the Bucks at the nets. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.360 That's game five. Yeah, mclemman. You know I'm looking back 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:16.560 at it. You know, Magic, we just did this stat 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:18.760 the other day that Magic's Lakers got swept. He hurt 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.359 his ankle in the finals. Larry Bird, I'm looking at 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:23.600 his game like he got hurt all the time. There's 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.200 only really one superstar whose injuries is not derailed, and 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.600 that's Jordan. The rest of all the other guys got 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:31.560 hurt too. I'm not sure we're being fair like back 0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.440 in the day. Yeah, they were not load managering, but 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.279 they got hurt all the time. But they were playing 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.000 all the time. They're playing all the time, but then 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.560 their careers got cut short in the thirties by injuries, 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.880 just like we're seeing now. Yes, palling. But I'm wondering 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:45.360 if a team could go opo like where I'm gonna 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.920 get my five best players on the court more forty 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.279 minutes a game, because my best players, even though they're 0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.360 maybe a little tired, are better than your bench guys 0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.840 who are playing all those minutes. Will a team go, hey, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.880 I'm gonna have my five starters play forty minutes a 0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.040 game like they did you just ten years ago. Yeah, 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:04.160 but you don't care about the regular season. I would 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.960 like that these teams don't care about the regular season. 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.480 The Clippers didn't care where they were seated wise, the 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.360 Lakers didn't care. But I wonder if you could be 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.560 in better shape going into the playoffs by playing more 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.280 Minute's not babying yourself, and I don't know, I'm just 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:20.440 saying it's it's a possibility. Yeah soon. How much of this, though, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.480 is just that, like classic my generation is tougher than 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.960 this new softer generation, Like every generation thinks of theirs 0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.360 was a lot tougher than these kids today, you know, 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.520 Like the players in the eighties were so much tougher 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.960 than the players in the two thousands or something. Well, 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:39.560 I think they played through injuries. I don't think today's athlete. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.080 And look, it's a business decision. You're probably saying, you 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.960 know what, maybe I'm gonna take a little time. I 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:49.160 think James Harden took more time off because the regular 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:51.840 season didn't mean anything to the nets. And then he 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.920 came back and here he is, he's out again. You know, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:58.280 Kyrie with an ankle injury. That happens, Lebron ankle injury, 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.640 that happens. I think Anthony Dave this was affected by 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.360 a quicker turnaround after the bubble. And I don't think 0:08:04.360 --> 0:08:07.240 he was in great shape. Joe lmbad, I don't think 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.840 he's ever been in great shape. Fabulous player, just caring. 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:13.480 He's carrying more weight than he probably needs to. And 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.120 with that knee, he's gonna have knee surgery after the year. Yeah, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.960 mc clean. But wasn't the same story thirty years ago. 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:21.560 I mean Bill Walton would have had an unbelievable career, 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.480 but he had what was it feet or something. Yeah, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.480 I don't think Bill was gonna have an unbelievable career. 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.120 Oh he's a pro, Okay, Yeah, that that was early 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.000 that he had it. I thought he was on a 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.360 trajectory at least be like sort of like he was 0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.720 if healthy. But like, yeah, Sam Bowie couldn't say healthy. 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.319 There's all the NBA histories littered with guys who couldn't 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.040 say healthy. It's not just now. It just kind of 0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:45.880 feels crazy this well, Sam Booie there was you know, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:50.880 he kept breaking his leg and it was no matter 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.800 what happened to him, it just felt like he was cursed. 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:56.240 He was he was spindling. He was he was built 0:08:56.280 --> 0:08:59.280 like a thoroughbread. He had legs like a thoroughbread. Who 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.080 is that guy who you covered in the draft who 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.319 you knew at bad knees and couldn't make it. Who's 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.679 a really good player, Brandon Roy. Yeah, there's a lot 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.920 of guys who still get hurt. Yeah, but these are 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.320 things where a groin or a hamstring to me that 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:17.440 I don't think you're in shape. And Lebron has invested 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.640 in this. He you know, he's put his money there 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:23.960 to be. Jordan's the first to do it. You know, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.720 Jordan hired a personal trainer. This is after they you know, 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.520 the Pistons roughed him up, and then he decided he 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.199 was going to have his own gym, and he had 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:38.760 his own trainer, Tim Grover, and he changed. He changed. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:42.440 There's there's a couple of athletes who have really changed 0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:47.120 their sport. Martina Navratalova changed the sport. It wasn't a 0:09:47.480 --> 0:09:51.640 let me stand at the baseline and look cute on power. 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.360 I'm coming after you. I'm coming to the net. I'm 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:58.680 working out. Uh. She famously worked out with Nancy Lieberman, 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:03.439 great baske ball player, and really transformed her body. Where 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:07.800 now we look at tennis players, they're athletes. It's not 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.280 you know, it's not one of those that I'm I'm 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.040 going to play tennis on Sunday afternoon at the club. 0:10:13.400 --> 0:10:16.719 You got athletes are out there. And Jordan did this 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.200 with basketball. You never lifted weights. And I think with 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:25.040 today's athlete, you know, are they pacing themselves? And we've 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.280 allowed that to happen. This sport has allowed that to happen. 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:33.200 Even baseball, you know we five innings? My god, I 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:37.480 got five innings out of my starter. How many complete games, 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:41.040 nine inning complete games have been thrown this year the 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:46.520 entire league. Yeah, I'm guessing Jacob deGrom probably has a 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:51.400 majority of those, but the entire sport of baseball? Do 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.320 you have twenty complete games? I would take the under Yeah, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:00.559 give me a second, right, So what kind of pull 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.600 question you got, Nicklevin? By the way, you know there, 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.600 I guess they're going to Are they instituting a new 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.439 role or is this the same rule that Baseball's had 0:11:11.520 --> 0:11:15.360 with doctoring a baseball because it feels like it's been 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:20.319 on the books here and it felt like the Mothership 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.520 had breaking news that Jeff Passon had found out that 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:27.079 they're going to it's a ten day suspension if they 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:30.520 find that you have anything, A pitcher has anything that 0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:33.480 he's using any kind of substance with pay. By the way, 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.320 ten days, not ten games and with pay. Wow, they're 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:42.679 cracking down. Do not mess with the Baseball Players Association. Yes, 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.040 if you get caught cheating, we're sending you on vacation 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.960 and we're paying for it. Now you take that. Yeah, 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:54.000 I hope you learned your less as I did. I did. 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:56.800 That's a take ten days off, keep your pay to 0:11:56.920 --> 0:12:00.040 take ten days off. Yes, it's just the shame that 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.120 you're gonna have to live with. Shame, shame. Maybe they 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:05.960 should do that. If you get caught in the four 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.440 they shame you out of the ball bar, everybody sham 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.360 end of the bullpen, shame yes time. And you're not 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.559 gonna miss one start. You're probably gonna miss two starts, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:21.599 which up ten days. Yes, m yeah, go down to 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:26.439 Cabo and think about what you yea, yes yeah. That 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.559 rule h ten game suspension has been in play for 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.520 over one hundred years. They're in the original rules of 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.400 baseball that were well over one hundred years ago were written. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.319 No players show intentionally discolor or damage the ball by 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:47.520 rubbing it with soil, rosin, paraffin, licorice, sand paper, emory paper, 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:53.040 and other foreign substances. The umpire that that should tell 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.120 you how old this is. This this is in the 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:00.160 new role. Licorice. It looks like three fingers brown. It's 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.719 got licorice on this ball. During probition, we'll have no 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.840 doctor in the baseball. The umbuyers shall demand the ball 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:09.640 and remove the offender from the game, and the offender 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:15.040 shall be suspended automatically for ten games. Okay, this isn't 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:19.280 a new rule. There's there's nothing to see here. It's 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:25.200 ten days and you get paid. Wow, that's a deterrent 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:29.040 wasn't the first time you got caught with steroids? Was 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.719 it like three game suspension or did you get a 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.920 warning now you stopped taking? Hey, you stop that, Get 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:39.360 that syringe out of your arm right now, right now. 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.160 Check on them in club and let me know if 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:46.640 But wasn't. It didn't start out like you know, we're gonna, 0:13:46.880 --> 0:13:49.679 you know, verbally spank you and that's it, or three 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.400 games or something and that's five or something. I can't 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:57.480 get past here of Mordecai three fingers brown reference. That's 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.400 a ped to have only three figures a spin. You 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.160 could get on that. Yeah, yeah, licorice? He got some 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:06.360 liquorice on there? Is that licorice on there? Yes it is. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:12.320 You're gone ten days with pay? What are you in for? Licorice? 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.120 Like a baseball prison where you go in there? What 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.760 are you in there for? Hardcourt steroids? What are you 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.000 in here for? I was taking some speed and what 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.200 are you in here for? I put some liquorice on 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:29.560 a baseball and I'm gonna do it again. Don't mess him. 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.400 I'm gonna break out of here after ten days. I'm 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.960 gonna tunnel my way out of here. Who's with me? 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.920 Where's three fingers Brown? All right, let me take a break. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.480 Mike Florio is going to join us. I'm a little 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:46.600 disappointed in our brethren because the Aaron Rodgers situation, it 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:51.960 just brings out these breathless reports. How is this fixable? 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.760 Will he not play in twenty twenty one? I just 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:59.000 figured let me have Florio on and he might be 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:01.200 a buzz kill because you know, we want to keep 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:05.640 this story going. But I'm just curious. Aaron Rodgers under 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:09.200 contract and it doesn't feel like packers are trading him 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.840 and he can't trade himself, so you want to sit 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.840 out and not play? Is that where we're headed? Is 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:18.080 that what all of this is based on? Because I 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.560 don't know if Aaron Rodgers is going to be any 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:24.520 other place than Green Bay. Foyo Joints is coming up next. 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.440 We'll settle on a pole question. Glad to have you 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.440 part of the program. We're back after this in the 0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:34.600 Dan Patrick's Show. Oh, every day I work out, obviously, 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.080 and I'd like to use the level select CBD. They 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:43.360 have sports creams roll ones and it's great because you 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:45.960 can kind of get a little looser with your muscles 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:47.920 and then after you've worked out, you can use it 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:51.200 again and you'll get great results. Ricky Fowler uses it, 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.440 Baseball legend Steve Garvey, former quarterback Carson Palmer. Those are 0:15:55.480 --> 0:15:57.480 just some of the athletes who use this Level Select 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.760 CBD and it'll keep you active.

But 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.400 you don't have to be a professional athlete to appreciate 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.720 the relief that Level Select CBD can provide.

Pauli said he'd take the under. 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:03.040 It's a team eighteen complete games so far in twenty 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.560 twenty one. We'll settle on a pole question. Did we 0:17:05.600 --> 0:17:08.880 settle on a pole question? McLeman? Wow for mister Florio. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.359 Will Aaron Rodgers be undersetter for the Green Bay Packers 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:14.080 a week ard? Every three weeks we throw it up 0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:17.680 there to see where people are. I know, yeah, I would. 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.280 I would guess today's results would be different than three 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.320 weeks ago. Do you want to give odds here, Paulie, 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.160 because I'd maintain all along. Aaron Rodgers is in Green 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:28.840 Bay to start this season barring injury right where. He's 0:17:28.840 --> 0:17:32.800 a scheduled Day one starter for the Packers barring massive injury. Yes, 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:35.920 I would bet a thousand to anyone's five hundred, A 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:39.800 thousand to five hundred, yeah, anybody? All right? Let me 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:41.800 see if Florio wants a piece of that. He's got money, 0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:45.159 Mike Florio Pro Football Talk Live joining us. Now you 0:17:45.240 --> 0:17:48.000 want to jump in on this, Mike, No, No, I don't. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:49.440 One of the reasons I have money is I don't 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:55.000 waste on gambling. Look. I go back and forth on 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:58.040 this too. It's a beautiful mystery. It's what Aaron Rodgers 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:01.840 wants us to think, he wants to not know. I 0:18:02.080 --> 0:18:07.680 think the Packers, specifically the CEO Mark Murphy, doesn't want 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.040 him to show up. I think he's daring him to 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:11.760 not show up. I think that's the only way to 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.760 make sense of that gratuitous for Mark he made last week, 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.719 calling him a complicated fella. I think Murphy would rather 0:18:18.760 --> 0:18:21.919 move on with Jordan Love save thirty five million dollars 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.760 in salary, and they would get bonus money back from 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.560 Aaron Rodgers. They don't have to worry about him playing 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.800 for the Broncos or anyone else and making them look stupid. Now, 0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:33.680 they could trade him after the season, but I think 0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.639 at this point, Murphy, you attached him to a lot 0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.080 of detector tests. He'd have to say, yeah, I'd rather 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:40.040 the guy, and I'll show up this year. And maybe 0:18:40.160 --> 0:18:43.320 maybe that vibe makes Aaron Rodgers more determined to show up. 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:46.520 But you want to trade him, don't you to get 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:49.359 something for him? So you wouldn't You wouldn't do anything now, 0:18:49.480 --> 0:18:52.080 you would wait until after the season. Yeah, I think 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.879 at this point, you get more after the season, you 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.200 get more teams to the table. Be like Hayton Manning 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.160 in twenty twelve, you'd have ten teams. I think he'd 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:02.200 easily have ten after the season. Right now, you got 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:06.680 the Broncos, maybe the Raiders, maybe the Raiders. The Raiders 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:08.399 saying all the right things about Derek Carr. But if 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.760 Aaron Rodgers becomes available and you're looking at him going 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.000 to the Broncos, how do you well, he's not make 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.359 a phone call if for no reason other than to 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.480 drive up the price the Broncos have to pay. But 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.960 after the season, when we have another I was gonna 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.879 say two hundred and fifty six, it's now two hundred 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:28.360 and seventy two games, teams will look at their quarterbacks 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:29.959 and said, got to get rid of that guy. Oh, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.040 Aaron Rodgers is available, Let's go get in line and 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.360 try to get him. Yeah. I'm just trying to understand 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.120 the timing of all to this, Mike, that if you're Rogers, 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:40.159 give me Rogers side of this, that what is the 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:45.040 end game for him this year? Well? I find it 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:49.000 fascinating Dan. The guys like James Jones who played with 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:53.720 Rogers still talk to Rogers, and more importantly, Rogers still 0:19:53.840 --> 0:19:57.879 talks to them after they do media and say what 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.280 Rogers has said. I think Rogers he is doing a 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.400 little puppet mastery through guys like James Jones. He says 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:08.080 it's fixable, it's fixable, Well, okay, then then fix it. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.119 Tell us what it's going to take to fix it. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.240 What does it take? I don't know. And as I 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.520 told you on Friday, I think this is a high 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:18.080 States pr battle where each side is trying to make 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:20.280 the other side look like the bad guy. And I 0:20:20.400 --> 0:20:23.520 just think right now, Aaron Rodgers wants to create chaos. 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.240 What was the line from one of the Batman movies. 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.399 Some men just like to see the world burn. I 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.359 think that Rogers is just trying to make the front 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:36.159 office of the Packers burn. It's one thing that he 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:39.000 says he loves everything about Green Bay. He loves the tradition, 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.080 he loves the fans, he loves the coaching staff, he 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.639 loves his teammates. So one, if you don't like somebody 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:48.840 in management, and if it is fixable, then what is 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.880 it that needs to be fixed? Is what I want 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.280 to know, because you can't undraft Jordan Love. That's not 0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:57.720 fixable unless you say we're going to trade him and 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.920 they don't want to do that. Here's your poll question 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:04.120 for today, Yes or no? Is there someone in management 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:08.840 at your workplace that you hate overwhelmingly? Yes? And you 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.680 still show up every days. So and it's not like 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.000 he has to deal with Mark Murphy in the locker room. 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:17.720 And I would advise Mark Murphy and Bryan Goudicoints to 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:19.520 avoid the locker room in the practice field this year 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.639 unless they're gonna work cups. But yeah, you're there with 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:25.800 your teammates, you're there with your head coach, you're there 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:28.720 for the fans. I just the whole thing is is 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.560 pr driven and who knows what Aaron Rodgers wants, And 0:21:32.720 --> 0:21:35.840 that's what he wants. He wants us talking about it, 0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:37.840 and he wants to reserve the right to say why 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:39.840 are you talking about it? Yeah, but I don't know 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.200 what the endgame is Mike. Does he is he willing 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:47.120 to sit out and not play football this year? Does 0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:49.280 he want to be traded? Like at some point you 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:52.680 have to get to Now, let's sit down and discuss 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:54.639 what's going to happen here? Is he just going to 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:57.280 show up and play football this year and act as 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.879 if none of this happened. I thought for a long 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.159 time that that's what he would do, Dan, that he 0:22:02.160 --> 0:22:05.400 would show up and basically says, what's the big deal 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.600
