0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.600 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio broadcasting from the Mercedes Man. Happy Halloween. This

0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:12.280
<v Speaker 1>is Dan Patrick. Welcome to the program. I hope you're

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>still with us after what happened at the end of

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>last hour Todd gave us his Halloween sports names. I'm

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>starting to hate Halloween. Oh come on, there's a few wids.

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>I really wanted to sneak in there. No, because you

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>sent me. You rattled off forty of them, and then

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you sent me another ten. Think there's something good. Okay,

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>just for for instance, give the Dabbo Sweeney Halloween nickname

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>or name. That would be Stabo Sweeney. Stabo laughed, But

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I know it's a real man's but it's Stabow and

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>it's topical. With Trevor Lawrence and the COVID the Christmas,

0:00:57.280 --> 0:00:59.280

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:04.160

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Nick Satan? I had Cordell Slash Stewart. That's pretty good

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:18.640

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Delbert Grady. What's Delbert Grady? Delbert Grady was a scary

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>guy from the shining that he ran into in the

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 1>in the bathroom. There, your son is, We're good. We

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.239
<v Speaker 1>should just do this the rest of the show. I

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>could do another ninety minutes of this easy. Perhaps your

0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:07.919
<v Speaker 1>son's a little talking to, perhaps a bit more, if

0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't mind me saying sir. When my wife tried

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>to interfere, I had to correct her, And when my

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.640
<v Speaker 1>daughters tried to interfere with my duties here at the hotel,

0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I had to correct them too. I fear there's no

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 1>other way. You must deal with this in the most

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>haustious way possible. Mister Torrens, can you stomach clen you're

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 1>a creepy guy? Yeah, thank you are, Like, it's not

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.960
<v Speaker 1>it's not even a joke. You're you're a creepy guy.

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.400

<v Speaker 1>your heading, that's gonna bad your Heaven? Do you have

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>any other sports names? I had Saidel Treat, but I

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's a Dell three. That's back in the seventies too.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I rereading Upshore Regan was the Exorcist. Girl was Daved Regan.

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I believe, Yeah, I think it's Reagan up show had

0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 1>T P C. Saw Grass like toilet paper TP toilet

0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 1>paper Sea saw Grass. That's not a name, that's a

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.839
<v Speaker 1>golf course. I had Tom six feet Underwood. Everyone loves

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Tom Underwood. That's also from like what the eighty seventies.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember Tom Underwood. You don't, I guess you do.

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.960
<v Speaker 1>And I had Ray Knight of the Living Dead. Yeah,

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.080
<v Speaker 1>once again the seventies reference. Okay, silence of the uh

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>if you if you stopped it, silence of the season.

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>But that you guys encouraged me. But Pauli said no,

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Paulli said, don't do it. And you never listened to PAULI.

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 1>Do you actually don't. It goes back to those days

0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>when I had like inappropriate ones, and he's smartly to

0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:47.160
<v Speaker 1>protect me and the show and us getting lost to it.

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 1>He said, no, you're not reading like any of her

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>When when Paully would wave his arms like you know,

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>he he was trying to help you, But I said,

0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>like twelve and like nine he said, you're not reading.

0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>I probably kept you employed seven or eight times, yes,

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>because you'd go blue and then because you knew you

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>weren't getting reaction from the other ones because they were

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>lame references. And then I'd fight it a little bit

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and hit why don't you understand about why you can't

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.479
<v Speaker 1>say that on the air. Welcome to the program already

0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.080
<v Speaker 1>in progress, as you could tell, Michael Wilbon is going

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>to join us. Coming up, Chris Fowler for the Mother's Ship,

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 1>and Dave Roberts, the Dodgers manager. Right now, the big

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 1>news with college football is Trevor Lawrence has tested positive

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>mild symptoms. But in the SEC a player has ten

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>days in which to quarantine. Chris Howeler is coming on.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>That's perfect, followed Chris Owler. He just walked right into

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:47.120
<v Speaker 1>that one. Are you done? I can't promise you okay?

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Now I didn't think so go like we got like

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.920
<v Speaker 1>two full hours are to go, okay. Trevor Lawrence has

0:05:55.040 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 1>ten days in which he has to quarantine and make

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.200
<v Speaker 1>sure that he passed the test to face Notre Dame

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because they have Boston College coming up this weekend, and

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 1>they went from a thirty and a half point favorite

0:06:07.160 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>for that game against BC without Trevor Lawrence, they are

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>now down to a twenty three and a half point favorite.

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a seven point swing because of Trevor Lawrence. It's

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>also impacted the Heisman Trophy odds. It's also impacted National

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Championship odds. Clemson is still the favorite for that and

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Trevor is still the favorite for the Heisman Trophy. But

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>if he misses the Notre Dame game, how many games

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 1>can you miss and still be eligible or that you

0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 1>would qualify for the Heisman Trophy. I have no idea.

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.039
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned last hour that Ohio State and Michigan were

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in favor of Nebraska being able to play a game

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>this weekend after the Wisconsin game got canceled, because I'm

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.880
<v Speaker 1>told by a source that Ohio State in Michigan realized

0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>they could be in that same situation in the next

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks, where hey, all of the Big Ten

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>presidents voted that you could not play any non conference

0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>games when this started. The season started, they were told

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>nobody could play any games other than the Big Ten games.

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>Now that you have a cancelation with Nebraska Wisconsin, Nebraska

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to schedule Tennessee Chattanooga and it felt like they

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>were scheduling it and then asking for permission, and the

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>Big Ten said no. Eight seven seven three DP show

0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:32.800
<v Speaker 1>email address the DP at Dan Patrick dot com. Texas

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>against Oklhoma State, Ohio State, Penn State. This weekend, the

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:41.760
<v Speaker 1>White Sox hired Tony Larusa. The Tigers quietly grabbed aj Hinch.

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they did it on purpose, but

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>if you're gonna hire a J. Hinch, you wait till

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the White Sox are hiring Tony LaRussa and you go,

0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what, that's going to get all the headlines here,

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>And it did. The reaction to Tony LaRussa Hall of

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Famer at age seventy six going to the White Song

0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>and the number of concerned opinions that, well, how's he

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna embrace you know, today's analytics. I go, I thought

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:18.000
<v Speaker 1>he was embracing analytics back in the eighties, nineties, two thousands.

0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:22.200
<v Speaker 1>He's one of the first managers I remember who really

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 1>managed the lefty versus lefty, righty versus righty bullpen. I

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.760
<v Speaker 1>always think it's funny, you know, when you see a manager,

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.400
<v Speaker 1>And this happened to us when we were playing you know,

0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Little League or American Legion ball, Like the manager would

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>say to the left field or you know, like hey, move,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 1>so you'd move like two steps and then he would go, okay,

0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like you were in the perfect spot here in left

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 1>field and moving that's exactly right there. That's good, right there,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.080
<v Speaker 1>that's it. And I kept thinking, God that my manager

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.080
<v Speaker 1>is so smart. He knows where they're gonna hit the ball.

0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.760
<v Speaker 1>He does his homeworking studies. He's eight nineteen year old. Yeah, Paully,

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>how often And I really don't know because when I

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>watch BASSI I'm not sure I could tell either way.

0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>How often is the manager or pitching coach calling the

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>pitches pitch by pitch and the um the catcher because

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.079
<v Speaker 1>sometimes it seems all catcher, but a lot of times

0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:16.600
<v Speaker 1>you see the catcher looking over to the dugout a lot,

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know if it's like I'm not sure.

0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I think it depends on how old is your catcher

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.840
<v Speaker 1>or pitcher or both. And some managers like to call

0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 1>all the pitches or you know, they want that catcher

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to check in with them. But I think it really

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>depends on if I have a young catcher, then I

0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 1>might be trying to help him there. Yes, McLeman, I

0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>likes find it weird when an ace wants a special catcher,

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Like I was growing up, Carlton had to have McCarver

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>instead of Bob Boone. Yeah, it's got to be because

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>of some of that, right, like pitch calling, Well, it's

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.440
<v Speaker 1>also how you frame a pitch. It's also how you

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.680
<v Speaker 1>get down in your stance. There's certain catchers who set

0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.079
<v Speaker 1>up in a different way. You may have a a

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>taller catcher, a wider catcher. Manny Sangeean for the Pirates

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>used to get down on one knee and you saw,

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, Benito Santiago when he was a catcher. They

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>they got down differently into their crouch. And as a pitcher,

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, do you want somebody who's setting up lower?

0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you want somebody who is a bigger target who

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>frames the pitch better. But certain pitchers we brought that

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>up with John Smoltz. You know, there's certain pictures that

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they want to throw to that guy. For whatever reason,

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:32.680
<v Speaker 1>phone calls are welcome. I think we have a poll question,

0:10:32.720 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>don't we put up who would you rather have as

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.600
<v Speaker 1>a manager? Tony Lebusta or A J. Hinch? Very surprising

0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 1>results fifty fifty exactly fifty fifty and a lot of

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>votes are in. Yeah, Okay, Tony's aholl of famer. If

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>I say, now here's part of my problem with when

0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>it comes to coaches and managers. How many times did

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:56.560
<v Speaker 1>we go, oh, and uh, who did they hire? Jane Shoe,

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Dick Mada, And I go, these are the same coaches.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.560
<v Speaker 1>They just go to another team and the Cavaliers hire

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Lenny Wilkins. After a while, you go, we got to

0:11:08.280 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 1>get some younger, you know, opinions in here, younger people,

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 1>younger voices in here. But if Tony, if I say

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>you can hire the third winningest manager of all time

0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>and a manager who won three World championships, then wouldn't

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>you do that no matter what his ages? I guess

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what you know. Jerry Reinstor from the White Sox

0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>are thinking. I was surprised just because I didn't know

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 1>that Tony wanted to manage again. And I thought, with

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a really young clubhouse and they're a playoff team. That

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:46.880
<v Speaker 1>surprised me. Yeah, mcclubbing stan All back he was wearing Yes, Yeah,

0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>NBA had that Jim Lyneum from the Sixers. He's get around.

0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>It felt like there was about a twenty year period

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:57.680
<v Speaker 1>where they weren't bringing in, you know, new head coaches.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 1>They just kind of recycled them. Yeah, which team should

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>I jump on the bandwagon? The Nets with three head

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:09.560
<v Speaker 1>coaches or the Sixers with three gms. I'm very confused by, Like,

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what is Elton brand doing if More's

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>in there. I think Elton Brand might be just sort

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>of he might be like public relations, And I don't

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>know if he's the boss anymore. It feels like Daryl

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Morey's the boss with Doc Rivers, but Elton Bran is

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the president the seventy six ers. And in case you're

0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>just joining us, Mike D'Antoni has joined Steve Nash with

0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the Brooklyn Nets. He's joining Nash with the Brooklyn Nets.

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>And we thought D'Antoni maybe he'd go to Philadelphia, maybe

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>he'd go to New Orleans. So I think he was

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>just the game of you know, musical chairs. He was

0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.360
<v Speaker 1>left without a chair to sit in. But you know,

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 1>D'Antoni with that style, I'm gonna guess they're going to

0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:59.400
<v Speaker 1>embrace how they played with the Phoenix Suns, you know,

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and seconds of offense. Yeah, mcleven. Do you see Ben

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Simmons or Joe l Embiid moving not this year? No,

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so. I think Doc Rivers wants to

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>see what he has here, and I you don't have

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to play like everybody else plays. Not everybody's a three

0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 1>point shooting team, or shouldn't be a predominantly three point

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.880
<v Speaker 1>shooting team. In my opinion, if I have guys who

0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>were talented, I got to use their talents. I'm not

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 1>going to make them into something that they're not. And

0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I think that'll be the challenge for Doc Rivers here.

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, you got Horford's contract is not user friendly.

0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Doc is reunited with Tobias Harris, who played well, you

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>know with him with the Clippers. But you know, it

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>comes down to Embead and Ben Simmons. Do they get along?

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Do they want to be great? And what do you

0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.959
<v Speaker 1>add to every every star player? Every great player added

0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:58.760
<v Speaker 1>something in their career, every one of them. Because you

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:00.680
<v Speaker 1>don't just come in and go, I'm a fish product.

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:04.880
<v Speaker 1>It's now what do you add? That's when the challenge starts.

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I'd like to see with Simmons and

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>embed what do you add? Some phone calls here eight

0:14:11.440 --> 0:14:15.320
<v Speaker 1>seven seven three D show Kyle in California. Hey Kyle,

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>what's on your mind today? Um? First, off with the

0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 1>h So the nets hiring, Yes I can, Kyle, Okay,

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>sorry sorry, So Mike Dntoni with the nets. The offense.

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.040
<v Speaker 1>I bet they're going to do the offense where they

0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>get the ball to Tudie and Kyrie s they go

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:41.280
<v Speaker 1>score it. Man, you guys are pretty good, and I

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>honestly think they've still got a move to make. You know,

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Katie Kyrie and there really three point suitors Katie in

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the mid range, especially Um. And then Fritzie's Halloween name

0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is fantastic. Please go back and look at how his

0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:58.880
<v Speaker 1>eyes set up within the middlesecond. Pray your approval post

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 1>when you're laughing when all you guys are laughing. That's

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:13.320
<v Speaker 1>I told you that many times I could book the

0:15:13.320 --> 0:15:15.200
<v Speaker 1>greatest guest in the world when you when I make

0:15:15.240 --> 0:15:16.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys laugh like that, or you're a beat d

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>or Seaton's laugh, that's just that's just the greatest feeling

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>for me, really is I'm just being honest. I love

0:15:21.280 --> 0:15:23.360
<v Speaker 1>when you guys are cracking up about something else. What

0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.920
<v Speaker 1>happens when we're not. It's very hurtful. And then I

0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.080
<v Speaker 1>go drive home miserable, and then I talk to my

0:15:28.080 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>wife all night about how everybody hates me at work.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.640
<v Speaker 1>And that's basically how that goes. Not everybody, not everybody.

<v Speaker 1>There's there's a couple of people who like you. You're there, Yeah,

0:15:57.600 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>and Todd shatted up. I try to try to try

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.440

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:10.920

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>guy who was cleaning, you would not say her. I'm

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>far too busy. Oh I know. Oh. When she comes

0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in right after the show on Thursday, Todd just wants

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:25.160

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:54.880
<v Speaker 1>usually step out to give them some private time. He

0:16:54.920 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>does do that, but every once in a while I'll

<v Speaker 1>the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio

0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 1>in the iHeart Radio app. Trevor Lawrence won't play against

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Boston College coming up this weekend, and he's had a

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.159
<v Speaker 1>big impact on the point spread. They were favored by

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>thirty and a half over BC, and that's down to

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:23.320
<v Speaker 1>twenty three and a half right now. Trevor Lawrence thirty

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>one and one in his career Clemson. His only loss

0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>was last year in the National title game to LSU.

0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.080
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Clemsons never had a player selected higher

0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:36.080
<v Speaker 1>than fourth overall in the draft. The only Clemson quarterback

0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>ever drafted in the first round. There's two of them, obviously,

0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:43.879
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson. PAULI, would you like to take a guess

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:47.400
<v Speaker 1>on the other Clemson quarterback taken in the first round

0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:56.760
<v Speaker 1>from the seventies? Yes, oh, man, I'm blanking Steve Tannehill

0:18:56.800 --> 0:19:03.280
<v Speaker 1>from South Carolina. I love that Fuller. Oh nice, Steve Fuller. No,

0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:07.240
<v Speaker 1>it did not I told Michael Wilbon years ago, I said,

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:09.239
<v Speaker 1>if you start this part in the Interruption show, you're

0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be stuck with Kornheiser for twenty years. Well we're

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on nineteen years, Mike. Can you make it another year

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:17.879
<v Speaker 1>with Kornheiser? I though we can go longer than that.

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Steve Fuller, I actually knew that answer.

0:19:22.359 --> 0:19:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Steve Fuller quarterback the Bears, and he actually won a

0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.520
<v Speaker 1>playoff game because Jim McMahon was hurt in nineteen eighty four,

0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the year before the fel super team in the shuffle

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.159
<v Speaker 1>and all that, even before they won. He's in the

0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>shuffle video. Steve Fuller, Yeah, yeah, he beat U. I

0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:41.679
<v Speaker 1>think he was. I'm pretty sure he was the starting quarterback,

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:43.920
<v Speaker 1>beat the Redskins, crushed the Redskins, and they would defending

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.320
<v Speaker 1>NFC champions in Washington. I'm sorry, I'm not supposed to

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:50.280
<v Speaker 1>say that anymore. The Washington football team. Yes, of course, yeah,

0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm pretty much. Fuller was number four, was

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in the video and won that game. Growing up in Chicago,

0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>did you go as an athlete on Halloween? Wow? Damn no,

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I ever did that. With his boring

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.199
<v Speaker 1>stuff like scarecrows and skeletons. I don't think I ever

0:20:09.359 --> 0:20:11.119
<v Speaker 1>like got you know, like, yeah you mean like I

0:20:11.119 --> 0:20:14.200
<v Speaker 1>got dressed up as Gail Sayers or Ernie Banks or something. Yeah,

0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I must have done it once. I but

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.400
<v Speaker 1>you know what, you know this, You just couldn't get

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.879
<v Speaker 1>a uniform anywhere back then when we were kids, right,

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 1>you had a hat like he was a big deal.

0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 1>You got a batting helmet, you went on went to

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.200
<v Speaker 1>a game of batting helmet day. But we didn't have

0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.000
<v Speaker 1>uniforms and jerseys and stuff, did we. I don't remember that.

0:20:36.240 --> 0:20:39.399
<v Speaker 1>They weren't into marketing like that back then, and you

0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>would get you could get those plastic batting helmets that

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 1>they would you know, strongly suggest you don't use this

0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:49.440
<v Speaker 1>in a real game. I don't think. I don't think.

0:20:49.520 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 1>I think. I think Scarecrow and Skeleton was as good

0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:54.040
<v Speaker 1>as it got for me. All right, let me start

0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>with Tony LaRussa going to the White Sox and aj

0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Hinge to the Tigers. I was prized that the negative

0:21:01.600 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 1>reaction was more towards LaRussa coming back to the White

0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Sox than aj Hinch going to the Tigers. Why is

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:12.119
<v Speaker 1>that because we have a generation divide. We have a

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 1>generation gap, you know, I mean you look, you and

0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I grew up in what was called the originally the

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>original generation gap right between us and our sort of

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.240
<v Speaker 1>slightly post World War two parents. That was supposed to

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:29.560
<v Speaker 1>be the big generation gap. That's nothing, that is nothing.

0:21:29.680 --> 0:21:33.280
<v Speaker 1>We came around ultimately to you know, I would say

0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to my father, is all you want to do? Listen

0:21:35.119 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 1>to Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. And then in

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.640
<v Speaker 1>thirty years I listened to the NAT game calling Frank

0:21:41.680 --> 0:21:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Sinatra right, And then my parents said, oh yeah, I'll

0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:47.120
<v Speaker 1>try some Marvin gall Have, I'll have some more Marvin Gay,

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll have someone that is not happening, that is not happening.

0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Now we have a generation gap, which is frightening. And

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 1>these these I'm sure these there were I'm I'm told

0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.879
<v Speaker 1>there are people in the organization, not to mention players,

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 1>who just look at LaRussa as some fossil and they

0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want anybody who's not their age look at an

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Instagram all day. We have a really serious, uncrossable making

0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a word now not spannable generation gap in the world.

0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.600
<v Speaker 1>And this higher that's why I think we're hearing so

0:22:24.680 --> 0:22:28.720
<v Speaker 1>much's negativity about Larusa. Well, a couple of things came

0:22:28.760 --> 0:22:30.960
<v Speaker 1>to mind when I saw the higher I was like,

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:36.360
<v Speaker 1>of all the people available, why Tony LaRussa, And why

0:22:36.440 --> 0:22:38.880
<v Speaker 1>does Tony want to come back and manage now at

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:42.120
<v Speaker 1>his age? That's a young team, that's a playoff team.

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And then you also had this, oh, he's not going

0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:49.360
<v Speaker 1>to embrace analytics, and I go, wait a minute, that's

0:22:49.400 --> 0:22:52.840
<v Speaker 1>what you're bothered by, that Tony won't embrace analytics. We

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:58.400
<v Speaker 1>just railed on Kevin Cash with Tampa embracing analytics. Now

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.680
<v Speaker 1>we want to make sure that Tony Ruse is gonna

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>embrace analytics. I'm thinking Tony was embracing analytics before I

0:23:05.680 --> 0:23:10.040
<v Speaker 1>think any other manager was. Yeah, to a degree. And

0:23:10.200 --> 0:23:13.800
<v Speaker 1>that's the problem with today's baseball. You know, you have

0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 1>so many people who just want to be They don't

0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:17.480
<v Speaker 1>want to embrace. They want to They want somebody to

0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.120
<v Speaker 1>be slavishly devoted to it. They'd rather have a mathematician.

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.239
<v Speaker 1>They want all the business guys. They want guys who

0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 1>study in favor probability. They don't give a damn about

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:33.200
<v Speaker 1>having a manager who understands, you know, just a human element,

0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:37.280
<v Speaker 1>human condition, the fact that a guy might and his

0:23:37.440 --> 0:23:39.800
<v Speaker 1>wife might be having a baby and he's going through

0:23:39.920 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>something for two or three weeks at home. They don't

0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>want no, no, just straight numbers. We don't want to

0:23:45.040 --> 0:23:48.480
<v Speaker 1>have you actually manage people. I thought baseball took a

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 1>massive step back to a couple of nights ago. Massive

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 1>step back. I thought it was a bad night for

0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 1>sport that we had a picture removed while he was

0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:00.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to become Sandy Kofax or Bob gives him for

0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:03.520
<v Speaker 1>his team. I thought it was awful. I asked Johnny

0:24:03.560 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Bench about that. You know the role that the catcher

0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:08.360
<v Speaker 1>can play, because that's who I want to hear from. Yes,

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the catcher is going to say skip. They're not even

0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:14.680
<v Speaker 1>close on these pitches, or they're catching up to him.

0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.639
<v Speaker 1>His you know, his curveball doesn't have bite. You know

0:24:17.720 --> 0:24:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that fastball it's getting up a little bit. Now. If

0:24:20.240 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you tell me that, that's what I want to hear.

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Not this guy when he gets into third time around

0:24:26.720 --> 0:24:30.440
<v Speaker 1>in the lineup, he gets roughed up. I would have

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>just left him in for Mookie Betts. I wouldn't to

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:34.840
<v Speaker 1>see how he got through that because he has struck

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 1>him out twice. But Dan, they don't give a damn

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 1>about what the catcher has to say. They're just studying cards.

0:24:41.160 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Just think about think about the Okay, baseball is the worst,

0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the most offensive at it right now, but think about

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>pro football. You have coaches they're not thinking about the

0:24:50.800 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>logic at the in the moment of going for two

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:55.879
<v Speaker 1>and what their team's moralities or what the option. No,

0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.320
<v Speaker 1>they got a card and look at its statistical probability.

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, I mean, you know, it's just it's but

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 1>this is where pitching staffs are headed, which I don't

0:25:06.080 --> 0:25:09.879
<v Speaker 1>like it, but you know, you're just you're looking at

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you know what this is going to be. Is this

0:25:12.800 --> 0:25:17.359
<v Speaker 1>just a phase? Nope? No, this is where they This

0:25:17.520 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>is no. This is why so many people are up

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:23.000
<v Speaker 1>in arms about the RUSSA. It's not a phase. If

0:25:23.040 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>it's a phase, Dan, this is one that you and

0:25:24.880 --> 0:25:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I are not going to be on the other side

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of the end of the phase. Yeah. But I think

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>we're looking at I think we're looking at this is

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the way the sport has gone, and I can't anticipate

0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>what trend might replace it. Twenty years from now, and

0:25:37.480 --> 0:25:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I get it. I don't want to spend three hundred

0:25:39.400 --> 0:25:43.920
<v Speaker 1>million dollars on Garrett Cole if I can spend seven

0:25:44.000 --> 0:25:47.800
<v Speaker 1>million dollars a piece on ten relievers who throw one

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:50.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred miles an hour, and that's what their job is

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:52.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be. I mean, we're not going to see

0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a contract like Garrett Coles again in baseball because you

0:25:56.080 --> 0:25:59.360
<v Speaker 1>don't need a starting pitcher. You might see those contracts

0:25:59.440 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>for hitters, but you're not gonna see it for a

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:07.080
<v Speaker 1>starting pitcher. The Yankees or look, unless somebody's a wild

0:26:07.160 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>card and they so, out of thirty teams, how many

0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:14.679
<v Speaker 1>are going to not be everybody has embraced and analytics.

0:26:15.280 --> 0:26:18.440
<v Speaker 1>How many are not gonna be slavishly devoted. Who's gonna

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.679
<v Speaker 1>be a thinker, Who's gonna be an outlier? I mean,

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 1>there'll be somebody. But the Dodgers, even with that payroll.

0:26:25.520 --> 0:26:28.119
<v Speaker 1>They took Andrew Friedman from Tampa, so they took that

0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:31.840
<v Speaker 1>philosophy and attached it to a big payroll. But the

0:26:31.960 --> 0:26:35.280
<v Speaker 1>fact that we went the Dodgers are this is a

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:39.120
<v Speaker 1>bullpen game. They have two starters. If two starters would matter,

0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:41.359
<v Speaker 1>I know, but just the fact that you go, this

0:26:41.440 --> 0:26:43.159
<v Speaker 1>is the World Series. We always got caught up in

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>those pitching matchups, like who's starting Game two? The bullpen

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:49.240
<v Speaker 1>is But that's what I mean. They only the Dodgers

0:26:49.600 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 1>only have two starters? What I should have been saying,

0:26:52.280 --> 0:26:56.080
<v Speaker 1>only have two? I mean who's gone into who's gone

0:26:56.119 --> 0:26:59.560
<v Speaker 1>into a postseason? Being fined with that? Well, not having

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.639
<v Speaker 1>David Price too, because he opted out. He would have

0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 1>been there. Third, he's Michael Wilbond from Pardon the interruption.

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.560
<v Speaker 1>And then you had the situation with Justin Turner and

0:27:07.680 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Baseball investigating the Dodgers. I think Baseball should investigate baseball first, Mike,

0:27:13.640 --> 0:27:18.800
<v Speaker 1>because how does this happen that it's inconclusive? And then

0:27:19.040 --> 0:27:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it is conclusive and then you take him out? Now

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 1>where does he go? And then he's not cordoned off?

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Why are we allowing results when a game starts? Should

0:27:30.080 --> 0:27:33.679
<v Speaker 1>we be allowing for test results? They've been around everybody,

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and then you had what happened after the game as well,

0:27:37.119 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 1>which I understand your teammates are fine with you. I'm

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:43.600
<v Speaker 1>not fine with Justin Turner being around the wives or

0:27:43.720 --> 0:27:47.440
<v Speaker 1>girlfriends because they did not sign up for this they

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the players did, but we had no positives for fifty

0:27:51.760 --> 0:27:55.439
<v Speaker 1>eight days or whatever it was. And you have women.

0:27:55.520 --> 0:28:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I think there was one woman who was pregnant. Yeah, yeah,

0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.960
<v Speaker 1>and they're out there and everybody's you know, intermingling, and

0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:07.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I had a real problem with baseball. And

0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:12.440
<v Speaker 1>then Justin Turner was extremely selfish. He was, And I'm

0:28:12.480 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out I might hold the Dodgers more

0:28:15.520 --> 0:28:18.480
<v Speaker 1>accountable because they knew Dan once. And I agree with

0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:20.520
<v Speaker 1>you about why are you having results brought down the

0:28:20.560 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>middle of a game? What they couldn't have gotten that

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.240
<v Speaker 1>done at six fifty eight before the team Eastern, before

0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the teams took the field. But I'm I mean the

0:28:27.960 --> 0:28:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Dodgers have to have some accountability, I mean a large

0:28:31.280 --> 0:28:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of accountability, at least once I presume it

0:28:34.240 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>was Baseball told the Dodgers yea at that point that

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>obviously there's gonna be more protocols. If if you need

0:28:40.880 --> 0:28:43.880
<v Speaker 1>more protocols, well apparently you do. But I don't know

0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers in Turner, and I wonder where this is going.

0:28:47.080 --> 0:28:49.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they may investigate, this is gonna be I

0:28:49.200 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>asked Tony this yesterday. It's gonna be like the NHL,

0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:54.720
<v Speaker 1>where you know, if it hit results in a broken jaw,

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:56.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy's got to be out for two or three

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 1>weeks or as long as he's had. But if there

0:28:58.120 --> 0:29:00.520
<v Speaker 1>are no consequences, you know, I could be back the

0:29:00.600 --> 0:29:03.240
<v Speaker 1>next night. What happens to Charner, who particularly is a

0:29:03.280 --> 0:29:07.680
<v Speaker 1>free agent. Is it based on consequences suffered by others? Yeah,

0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 1>because of his actions. I don't know that I want

0:29:10.760 --> 0:29:12.440
<v Speaker 1>to see that. But this is hard. This is I

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:14.960
<v Speaker 1>think you you even brought up like a sliding scale.

0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:18.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, sometimes our reaction or the punishment has to

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:21.440
<v Speaker 1>fit the crime. Well, what's the crime? If nobody tests

0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>positive here, is he fine? Is his find not as large?

0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.640
<v Speaker 1>Or if somebody happens to test positive, And he might

0:29:29.680 --> 0:29:33.240
<v Speaker 1>have said, hey, I'm a free agent, I may never

0:29:33.400 --> 0:29:35.960
<v Speaker 1>get to this point again. I may not be with

0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the Dodgers next year. I'm going out and I'm gonna

0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 1>sit there in the photo and I'm gonna be part

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 1>of history. He just didn't realize what part of history

0:29:43.760 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be involved in. And there could be

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, you hope, you hope, just in terms of

0:29:49.400 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 1>health and safety that this Peter's out. But but it

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:58.080
<v Speaker 1>might not the NBA And what is it the NBA

0:29:58.200 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about Christmas? And if they start on Christmas, the

0:30:01.520 --> 0:30:04.720
<v Speaker 1>amount of money I guess the rough estimate is a

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:08.000
<v Speaker 1>round and a half a billion dollars yea. If not

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:12.920
<v Speaker 1>they wait another month, what do you do if there's

0:30:13.000 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>no fan? What if does this come down to if

0:30:15.520 --> 0:30:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Lebron says I'm spending Christmas at home this year, I'm

0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:25.640
<v Speaker 1>not playing until January, well, you know it could come

0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:28.120
<v Speaker 1>down to him saying that, damn, because obviously we know

0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the influence he has. But I'm told yesterday last night,

0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:36.880
<v Speaker 1>they're quite a few players. Now are the star players

0:30:37.080 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 1>all aligned here? Look if the star players are in

0:30:39.920 --> 0:30:42.040
<v Speaker 1>lockstep and they just say, we're not doing this is crazy.

0:30:42.040 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 1>We're not doing this. And here's why. I right now,

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.560
<v Speaker 1>if you tell me over under December twenty second, I'm

0:30:49.560 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna say beyond. I don't see it. It's not just

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:58.680
<v Speaker 1>because Lebron. But again, it's the word influencer and basketball

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>starts with Lebron James. And I don't blame them. Now.

0:31:02.520 --> 0:31:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I understand though, that there are obligations. This is this

0:31:05.280 --> 0:31:08.440
<v Speaker 1>is being driven by my bosses and the bosses at Turner.

0:31:08.920 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is being driven by them. I mean,

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and I understand that everybody's every no one wants to

0:31:14.280 --> 0:31:18.600
<v Speaker 1>lose hundreds of millions of dollars, But what about the

0:31:18.680 --> 0:31:22.120
<v Speaker 1>rank and file players who outnumber the stars ten to

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 1>one in the NBA? What about the rank and file

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.840
<v Speaker 1>players for whom you know, I think it's five hundred

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>and fifty thousand dollars on average. So what about the

0:31:32.440 --> 0:31:36.080
<v Speaker 1>average n NBA player who has that salary? Yeah, because

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:40.120
<v Speaker 1>they're splitting the five hundred million yes with the owners, yes,

0:31:40.200 --> 0:31:42.360
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and fifty million dollars, and I think I

0:31:42.400 --> 0:31:44.600
<v Speaker 1>figured out it's about five hundred and sixty thousand dollars

0:31:44.680 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a piece on average. Are those guys going to be

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:53.320
<v Speaker 1>in lockstep? Ye? Well, by the way, what are you

0:31:53.400 --> 0:31:57.080
<v Speaker 1>up to these days? Now? Nothing? I got it's those

0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:02.160
<v Speaker 1>sports and night have no nothing, No, you know, it's um.

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Are you watching anything good? Not yet? So the week

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the week after the NBA playoffs, maybe two weeks out now,

0:32:11.040 --> 0:32:13.440
<v Speaker 1>I just sort of, you know, putsed around and tried

0:32:13.480 --> 0:32:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to act like a father and help a twelve year

0:32:15.160 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>old with homework that I don't understand. But that's gonna

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.080
<v Speaker 1>end quickly, so it's like you're on your own kid.

0:32:22.600 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm waiting, like, are we gonna get scripted dramas back?

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm not a reality TV person. I don't care about

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.720
<v Speaker 1>reality TV. We're gonna get scripted dramas. I know this

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:32.680
<v Speaker 1>is us was on a We're gonna get like all

0:32:32.760 --> 0:32:35.200
<v Speaker 1>my shows back? Am I gonna have that? Am I

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna be forced to read? You know? This is going? Dan?

0:32:39.320 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 1>This goes back to when you and I were young

0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in high school and there wasn't sports every night that

0:32:46.040 --> 0:32:49.160
<v Speaker 1>we could see and we had to do. We had

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to be engaged by other things. Yes there was sports,

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>but not every night. There was Monday Night football and

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.360
<v Speaker 1>then you had to skip out so Saturday, right, we

0:32:57.440 --> 0:33:01.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't have stuff Tuesday through Friday. Well that's why I

0:33:01.520 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>think the invention of Big Monday on ESPN A STAB

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:10.840
<v Speaker 1>established ESPN Sports Center because you had big names and

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:13.600
<v Speaker 1>then you had the Big Twelve and Big the Big

0:33:13.680 --> 0:33:16.560
<v Speaker 1>East and it led into Sports Center. And back then

0:33:16.640 --> 0:33:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you didn't know what the end result was or you

0:33:18.920 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't see the highlight and you have a build in audience.

0:33:22.160 --> 0:33:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that played a large part in being able

0:33:24.840 --> 0:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to carry those games, and they went right into sports Center,

0:33:27.720 --> 0:33:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and then sports Center sort of took off and became

0:33:30.040 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a thing. But when we were grown up, you got

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 1>three minutes local and then you got Howard Cosell on

0:33:36.280 --> 0:33:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Monday Night, who might show a highlight of your team

0:33:40.360 --> 0:33:43.720
<v Speaker 1>half done. That was it. You were done. You know,

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you were done. It was it was like a referendum

0:33:46.560 --> 0:33:49.479
<v Speaker 1>or whether your team fell. If Howard got in there,

0:33:49.560 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 1>you were in that three minutes. You got like thirty

0:33:51.360 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 1>seconds of Walter Payton goose stepping in it for me,

0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:57.040
<v Speaker 1>but you know, so, yeah, we got We got all

0:33:57.080 --> 0:34:01.239
<v Speaker 1>this time, and I get why. Look remember a year

0:34:01.280 --> 0:34:04.320
<v Speaker 1>ago there was all this talk about all the Atlanta owner,

0:34:04.400 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>one of the Atlanta owners, that we should shift the

0:34:06.320 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 1>season had ended in the summer. How quickly has that

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:12.719
<v Speaker 1>been knocked down? Right? I mean, the NBA can't wait

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>to get out there. We have, the NHL hasn't weighed

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:20.640
<v Speaker 1>in yet loudly, and the NHL season would be going

0:34:20.719 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 1>on they have been. They have been three weeks in

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 1>by now. Yeah, so what are we gonna have in

0:34:25.200 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 1>that way? We don't have college basketball for a while

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:31.800
<v Speaker 1>until January, So it's it's what Man, I mean, this

0:34:32.000 --> 0:34:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is not it's not early pandemic dearth of sports, but

0:34:36.200 --> 0:34:38.840
<v Speaker 1>it feels pretty empty. It feels like we're gonna be

0:34:39.600 --> 0:34:43.000
<v Speaker 1>stuck in this for at least another year. As far

0:34:43.040 --> 0:34:45.920
<v Speaker 1>as affecting sports, when you can play, how long you

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:48.880
<v Speaker 1>can play? What are the safety protocols? We're finding this

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 1>out with the Big Ten, the Big Ten, it feels

0:34:51.400 --> 0:34:55.560
<v Speaker 1>like fragile right now because of what happened with Wisconsin.

0:34:56.320 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Does this happen so? How long are they out? How

0:34:58.600 --> 0:35:01.800
<v Speaker 1>many games do they miss? That affects all these other schools.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:05.920
<v Speaker 1>And the PAC twelve hasn't even started yet, Mike and

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:07.800
<v Speaker 1>the Pac twel and look, I mean the whole just

0:35:08.080 --> 0:35:12.880
<v Speaker 1>in California and the fragile nature of the state and

0:35:13.000 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the number of teams they've got foot four I know

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:21.200
<v Speaker 1>they haven't. And so the Big Ten situation is fascinating

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.960
<v Speaker 1>because they decided not to build in time. He said,

0:35:24.040 --> 0:35:26.640
<v Speaker 1>this is what we're going to do. And remember Dan,

0:35:27.160 --> 0:35:31.400
<v Speaker 1>those Wisconsin quarterbacks have to sit if those positives were

0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:36.279
<v Speaker 1>confirmed twenty one days. This they like the acc well,

0:35:36.320 --> 0:35:38.480
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to change it though, Mike. They're trying to

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:42.240
<v Speaker 1>say that they didn't have enough data for the twenty

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.640
<v Speaker 1>one days. Therefore, they want to kind of resend the

0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:50.399
<v Speaker 1>fourteen or something. I think it feels like an amendment's happening. Yeah,

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and addendum is happening soon here right now. Yeah, this

0:35:55.960 --> 0:35:58.400
<v Speaker 1>whole college football season. You just scared. I didn't know

0:35:58.560 --> 0:36:00.960
<v Speaker 1>so very late last night. Um, you want to know

0:36:01.000 --> 0:36:03.279
<v Speaker 1>what I'm watching. I'm watching Law and Order reruns. I'm

0:36:03.280 --> 0:36:05.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna get thro the whole four hundred and fifty again.

0:36:06.239 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 1>So I'm watching Law and Order reruns last night on Sundance.

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:10.440
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you off the top of my head

0:36:10.480 --> 0:36:13.480
<v Speaker 1>which which nights are on which networks. And that's something

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:17.200
<v Speaker 1>just said. Even though there were no games. My son said, Dad,

0:36:17.200 --> 0:36:19.880

0:36:22.239 --> 0:36:25.120

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:35.759

0:36:49.640 --> 0:36:52.200
<v Speaker 1>should I be doing this? I know? He said, I'm sorry.

0:36:53.040 --> 0:36:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Has your brain died while we're sitting here talking? I know?

0:36:55.920 --> 0:36:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I said, you got your own show? They're giving you

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a show? And Tony said the same thing. He goes,

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.960
<v Speaker 1>they want us to just get our big fat heads

0:37:06.000 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 1>on TV and YAP. And then he goes, quote, does

0:37:10.120 --> 0:37:14.280
<v Speaker 1>anybody care? And I go, they're giving you a show, Tony,

0:37:15.320 --> 0:37:19.960

0:37:22.560 --> 0:37:26.160
<v Speaker 1>one time. I love that. You're gonna have to twist

0:37:26.200 --> 0:37:29.840
<v Speaker 1>our arms for that. Yeah, I think the Mothership. I

0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:32.560
<v Speaker 1>think i'd have to You're fine with the Mothership. Now.

0:37:32.719 --> 0:37:35.719
<v Speaker 1>I would have to clear it with them. Okay, So

0:37:36.200 --> 0:37:38.960
<v Speaker 1>we wouldn't be great if I just showed up one

0:37:39.000 --> 0:37:41.840
<v Speaker 1>day and I didn't I didn't connect with anybody the Mothership?

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:46.360

0:37:48.280 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 1>all right, I'm ready. I let's just plant the seed

0:37:51.880 --> 0:37:54.360
<v Speaker 1>one day, mister Tony is on vacation and I just

0:37:54.520 --> 0:37:57.040

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:04.040
<v Speaker 1>That's Michael will Bond. We're back with your phone calls

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:07.359

0:38:14.160 --> 0:38:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Search FSR to listen live. Some interesting matchups in the

0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 1>NFL this weekend. Not a lot of great college football matchups.

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:29.280
<v Speaker 1>Patriots at the Bills is interesting because Buffalo doesn't normally

0:38:29.360 --> 0:38:32.520
<v Speaker 1>beat New England. You have the Cam Newton situation. How

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:36.200
<v Speaker 1>tenuous is that? Could he lose his starting job if

0:38:36.239 --> 0:38:40.160
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't play well against Buffalo? Rams at Miami you

0:38:40.239 --> 0:38:43.400
<v Speaker 1>get to see the debut of TUA San Francisco at Seattle.

0:38:43.560 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Is San Francisco for real? And is this going to

0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:51.880
<v Speaker 1>be a scoring slugfest between the two? Dallas at Philly

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>is interesting just because they're two damaged teams. But you

0:38:55.800 --> 0:38:58.120
<v Speaker 1>know one of those two is probably winning the division.

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:03.399
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh and Ball Baltimore, that's the marquee matchup I want

0:39:03.400 --> 0:39:05.879
<v Speaker 1>to see Baltimore in a big moment here. I want

0:39:05.920 --> 0:39:08.600
<v Speaker 1>them to win a big game here because I've seen

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh go to Tennessee and win. That's a big game.

0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Vegas at Cleveland is interesting as well. And I know

0:39:16.360 --> 0:39:18.840
<v Speaker 1>that Baker Mayfield was a little sensitive this week, and

0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:21.840
<v Speaker 1>understandably so, because I think he was asked by the

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>local media, you know, will the Browns be better without

0:39:25.719 --> 0:39:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Odell Beckham? And I don't know if they'll be better.

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:32.560
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be different, and it's not a fair

0:39:32.719 --> 0:39:36.960
<v Speaker 1>question to Baker. I said that Baker will be different,

0:39:37.120 --> 0:39:40.680
<v Speaker 1>the team will be different, and that might mean that

0:39:40.800 --> 0:39:43.560
<v Speaker 1>they have better success as a team. I don't think

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:45.400
<v Speaker 1>they're a better team without him. I think they're a

0:39:45.520 --> 0:39:48.960
<v Speaker 1>different team without him, and they were playing well with him,

0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's not the cause of all their problems. Well

0:39:53.200 --> 0:39:56.759
<v Speaker 1>that I know. We like to focus on him. He's

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a lightning rod. But you know, there's other things that

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.200
<v Speaker 1>play with the Cleveland Browns. You know, they were blown

0:40:02.239 --> 0:40:08.000
<v Speaker 1>out twice in games. You know, have they beaten anybody

0:40:08.560 --> 0:40:10.200
<v Speaker 1>where you go? Boy? Now, I got a pretty good

0:40:10.239 --> 0:40:12.399
<v Speaker 1>idea of how good they are. I'm not quite sure.

0:40:12.960 --> 0:40:15.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure where in Las Vegas. Is you know

0:40:15.320 --> 0:40:18.839
<v Speaker 1>how good the Raiders are? Because I feel like they're

0:40:18.880 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>going to be on the cusp of the playoffs, but

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if they're a playoff team. I want

0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to see them in a big spot and going to

0:40:25.600 --> 0:40:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland and winning in Cleveland. That would be a big

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:31.600
<v Speaker 1>spot there. I think that would be an impressive win

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.560
<v Speaker 1>for them. But if you're looking at a primetime game,

0:40:35.120 --> 0:40:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you got Dallas at Philly, Tampa Bay at the Giants.

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Ouch Dallas Philly because the two big markets and the

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>fan base for the Cowboys, they probably still do a

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 1>good number. Tampa Bay at the Giants. Is this the

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:56.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of game the Giants win? Yeah, mccleveland they have

0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 1>some COVID issues too, Yes, So I mean if Tom

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Brady might have gotten lucky here might sneak away we won,

0:41:05.040 --> 0:41:06.920
<v Speaker 1>But the Giants actually were in it with the Eagles,

0:41:07.160 --> 0:41:08.880
<v Speaker 1>and they were in it with the Cowboys. They have

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:11.839
<v Speaker 1>gotten better. They're not winning, but they have gotten They're

0:41:11.880 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 1>not out of games. They played pretty well. Yeah, MC club.

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I saw one set John Harbaugh. The Ravens is awesome

0:41:19.320 --> 0:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>after the bye and they're coming off a bye against Pittsburgh.

0:41:23.640 --> 0:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>You know the Clemson Boston College game this weekend. With

0:41:29.000 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>no Trevor Lawrence, Paully has been spending the better part

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of the last day trying to learn how to pronounce

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:38.600
<v Speaker 1>the backup quarterback for Trevor Lawrence. Have you mastered it yet?

0:41:38.640 --> 0:41:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Paully mastered Yes. No. I His first name is really easy,

0:41:46.719 --> 0:41:55.280
<v Speaker 1>isn't it dj DJ? Was he from Bosco Don Bosco

0:41:55.480 --> 0:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>in Los Angeles? Yes? Saint John Bosco? Oh, John Bosco?

0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Not done? Is his brother John's brother Don not as

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:04.840
<v Speaker 1>much of a saint by the way, his name is

0:42:04.880 --> 0:42:08.760
<v Speaker 1>David John. Isn't there Don Bosco in Jersey? Yes? Okay,

0:42:08.840 --> 0:42:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that's his brother, but it was Saint John. I don't

0:42:12.000 --> 0:42:14.680
<v Speaker 1>think he was Saint done. My final hour coming up.

0:42:14.760 --> 0:42:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Dave Roberts from the Dodgers and Chris Fowler stops by.
