WEBVTT - Hour 2 - Joe Vardon (07-14-20) 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.760 Sports Radio. We'll join us and get his thoughts on 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:09.200 who he thinks is now the favorite or the Lakers 0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:12.800 still the favorites to win the NBA title. Mcluvin, did 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:14.360 we come up with a pole question in the first hour? 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:17.639 We did not. We got sidetracked. Okay, tool discussion. All right, 0:00:17.680 --> 0:00:20.960 well man hit me with the possibilities here. Okay, you 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:22.640 guys did not want to go with my tool question. 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:26.560 We were having a debate over here about best defensive player. 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.040 So I had a pole, but PAULI wants to redo that. 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.160 I gave my top five defensive players, So we'll get 0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.000 to that in a minute. On the NBA, do you 0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.239 think they start on time? Yes? Or no? Based on 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.720 the early test too in Orlando, I'm gonna say yes. 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.040 I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna be cautiously optimistic and 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:49.760 say yes it starts on time. I'm curious about James 0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.400 Harden and when he gets to Orlando, because you know, 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.760 I do like the Rockets as a dark horse here. 0:00:55.480 --> 0:01:01.720 But Russell Westbrook has already tested positive and by all 0:01:01.760 --> 0:01:05.200 accounts pretty successful that I think they had two tests 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:09.280 inside the bubble test positive, I should say over three 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.080 hundred tests. So we'll talk to Joe Varden about that. 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.800 But the safety precautions that are put in play, I 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.920 feel a whole lot better about that season than any 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.720 other season that might take place this summer. What else, 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:25.479 Cleve Okay, Tomorrow is Dak Prescott Day, the last day 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.319 to sign. I'm going to give you an offer. You 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.319 can sign one of these three quarterbacks to a five 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:32.520 year or two hundred million dollar deal, which is right 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.640 away where Dak we're probably rumored to be. You get 0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:40.200 to Seawn Watson, Dak Prescott or Carson Wentz, who is 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.880 the guy that you would sign first, knowing all things 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:48.320 about health included everything about them. Well, Wentz already got 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:54.800 his deal, right. I would probably go to Shawn Watson, 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:58.240 but my concern is he doesn't have anywhere near the 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:02.120 challenge around him. I'm not confident with his head coach 0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:06.760 Snice GM. I feel a little better with Dak Prescott 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:09.760 in the hands of Mike McCarthy and they've spent money 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:14.160 on an offense. I'd probably do Dak Prescott because it 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.240 feels like they have everything in place right now. Offensive line, 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.400 running back they spent money on their wide receivers. So 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.120 as a quarterback, I have everything that I need to 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.880 be successful. Carson Wentz does not have that. In Deshaun 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.280 Watson does not have that. I think are those quarterbacks 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.840 are probably better. If there was an open market, an 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.799 open draft, Wenson Watson would go before Dak Prescott. But 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:42.280 I'm taking Dak Prescott because of everything I get with Dallas. Yes, mcclub, 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.440 I think that's such a good point piece When the Eagles, 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.000 everyone's injured on the Eagles, Carson has to run around 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.880 to make plays. Yeah, I don't want him doing too much. 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:51.920 Deshaun Watson is the same way. When they press, he 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.000 makes plays on his own and he gets risks. Yeah, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.800 Polly Watson. He was sacked more than any other quarterback 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.400 in twenty eighteen sixty two times. That dropped a forty 0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.560 four times last year. It seems to be going in 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:06.320 the right direction and is passing. He's a sixty seven 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.840 percent pass or four thousand yards, twenty six touchdowns, twelve picks. 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.880 He runs a little, but not a lot. I mean 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:13.919 he's not, you know, the leading rusher in the league, 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.919 but his sacks are down his being sacked. Yeah, he 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.720 didn't have great weapons though, that's my problem. And they 0:03:19.720 --> 0:03:24.320 traded their best one. Yeah, and I just Bill O'Brien 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.040 as a play caller and offensive minded guy. But you 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.440 don't have an offensive minded team. Yeah, mclub. But if 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.200 you pay Dak all that money, then are you're going 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.560 to be able to keep these weapons around him? Is 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:38.480 in a catch twenty two? Well, you've paid everybody, Dak 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.760 the last guy, Marii Cooper got paid before Dak did, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:47.600 and Zeke Elliott we know got paid. Offensive lineman have 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.400 gotten paid. It's now Dak Prescott and that's the final 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:55.600 piece if this team is going to win a Super Bowl? Now, 0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:00.120 do I want to give him five years? No? He 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:04.720 wants four years. The Cowboys wanting for five. But I 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.440 don't know if they're doing that because of you know, 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:09.520 what that salary's going to look like, how they spread 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:13.040 that out, whatever, against the cap and all of those things. 0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:19.200 But it feels that both sides know exactly where the 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.040 breaking point is. That's usually what happens in a negotiation, 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.320 Like you know now they haven't spoken, I believe negotiated 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:29.760 since March. That would be a little more nerve racking 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:32.320 I think concerning because let's say he doesn't get a 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.400 four year deal or they don't get a five year deal. 0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:38.159 Now you franchise him, and which is what I would 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.200 have done in the beginning. I would franchise him and 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:43.640 then franchise him again. I still get the feeling that 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:45.599 Dallas is not quite sure that what they have with Dak. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.520 I just get that feeling. And do you want to 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.200 pay him that money? Is he truly one of these 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.640 great quarterbacks? But what happens is we go can you 0:04:56.720 --> 0:05:00.760 believe what Kirk Cousins got? And then you move on 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.160 to the next guy, and then you believe Jared Goff 0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:04.920 and what and then you move on from that guy, 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:07.800 and then Russell Wilson and then you move on from him, 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.679 and we'll move on from Dak Prenscott not as fast 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.000 because people love clickbait and they love to talk about 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.920 Dak Prescott. Is he worth that money? Did they make 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.479 a mistake and not signing him do a five year due? 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.040 Why did they give him four years? Did Dak make 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.080 a mistake signing four not? I mean, this is what's 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:29.120 going to happen. But Dak Prescott, by all accounts, even 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.039 if they franchise you is going to be well compensated, Yample. 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.440 There's no middle ground at the quarterback position. You either 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.560 pay him full boat or you move on. There is 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.520 really a zero middle ground. Guys like Mike Glennon will 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.040 get a year for fifteen million, or case Keenum will 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.359 get two years for twenty million. That's kind of the 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.360 where you are if your career journeyman backup or your 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:53.000 max deal guy. And Dak Prescott he's twenty six five 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.120 thousand yards and thirty touchdowns last year. He's definitely not 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.040 even close to you know, if Jamis Winston, where he's 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.760 more of a detriment than a help. He's the opposite. 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.159 I just don't know. This goes back to and I 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.039 never understood this, and they've since changed it. The number 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.960 one pick in the draft was going to get fifty 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:17.320 million dollars, remember Sam Bradford and JaMarcus Russell, and you're 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.039 going leait, You're the highest paid quarterback in the league 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:21.799 day one, and I don't know if you can play, 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:26.560 and it just seemed backwards. Now they finally changed it 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.640 where they go, oh yeah, they should probably come in 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.800 and prove themselves. This is another situation. Every quarterback who 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:36.440 steps up is not better than the previous quarterback who 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.719 stepped up and got paid. Like, at some point you 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:42.720 have to have financial sanity where you go. You know, 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.320 I know he's supposed to make a dollar more than 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:47.320 Russell Wilson, but you know your quarterback's not better than 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:52.760 Russell Wilson. Sorry, we're gonna pay you this. When's the 0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:56.720 last time a quarterback and I'm going to say, well 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:02.960 known quarterback got paid less than somebody because it feels 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:07.880 like like Aaron Rodgers is a bargain. What's Aaron Rodgers make? 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.119 It feels like I don't know. I mean, he's gonna 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.240 get paid a whole lot if he's still on the team. 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.360 But you start to look at these quarterbacks and you go, 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:26.360 Drew Brees twenty five million, that's a bargain. But it 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.440 feels like that next quarterback, well, he's got to make 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.040 more than that guy. Well, we know that's not going 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.720 to happen with Patrick Mahomes. Nobody's making more than him. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:38.920 But Deshaun Watson, he's gonna make more than Dak Prescott, right, 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.320 yeah po. Aaron Rodgers signed before the twenty eighteen season 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:47.000 in twenty nineteen, he's gonna make a total of like 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.560 twenty nine million dollars. That's a bargain. Yeah, And his 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.080 max deal in twenty twenty one, at age thirty seven, 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.640 will be thirty six million dollars. That's the most he 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.559 can make, and that might be a bargain as well, 0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:01.160 if he's still with the team. It feels like he'd 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.360 still be with the team, but that'd be it after that. Yes, mcleven, 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.160 I have another It's a more specific poll question, but 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:10.360 it's more a philosophical one. Bear with me, who would 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.680 you pay first? Two guys who are up tomorrow? Running 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.679 back Derrick Henry of the Titans or defensive tackle Chris 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.400 Jones or the Kansas City Chiefs, two of your favorite guys. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.320 But you have to pay Chris Jones a lot more 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.280 than Derrick Henry. That's a fact. Am I gonna have 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.760 to pay twice as much for Chris Jones as I 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:32.480 am Derrick Henry. Oh, I don't know. It'll be at 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:36.480 least three quarters. Yeah, it'll be significantly more. Like which 0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:40.360 is a bigger priority, the superstar defensive tackle or the 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.680 what Derrick Henry means to So Derrick Henry is going 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:48.760 to be fifteen million. Right, He's already been franchised, hasn't he? Right, 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.400 they have both those guys are franchised and they're working 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.360 on the deal there. They could could be signed by tomorrow. 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:57.240 If not, then they go into the season with franchise 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.200 tacks and Chris Jones may not report at all. If 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.880 he does all that, I'm gonna take Derrick Henry, and 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:06.800 I believe both players at the same age. They're both 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:11.160 twenty six. I'm gonna take Derrick Henry. I don't like 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:15.400 signing up a running back for that second deal. But 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.120 you know what, if I could get Derrick Henry for 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.680 three years, then I would give him. I'd give him 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.840 sixteen seventeen million. I give him a little bit extra 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:29.640 because Derrick Henry put you on the cusp of going 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:34.200 to the Super Bowl. And Chris Jones helped you win 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:39.520 a super Bowl, but Derrick Henry almost singleheadedly got you too, 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:42.640 you know, the precipice of playing in the Super Bowl. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.760 So I'd say Derrick Henry cost me a little less, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:49.240 but I don't want him for more than three years 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.600 because of that style. If I got him for three 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:56.160 and he's done at twenty nine, then I've gotten my 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:59.000 money's worth out of Derrick Henry. Chris Jones is a 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.960 good player, but it feels like Chris Jones might not 0:10:02.000 --> 0:10:04.320 be happy no matter what happens here, and that's an 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.040 issue that you're gonna have to deal with as well. Yeah, mclub. 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:09.640 Did you once say though, that the Chiefs would not 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.920 have won the Super Bowl without Chris Jones? I remember 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:14.800 you said something like one specific game. Yeah, was it 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:16.720 the Super Bowl game and one of the playoff games? Oh, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.439 it's the Super Bowl where he knocked down those passes 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.440 and if those are completed, then the Niners are going 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:26.120 to win the Super Bowl. He stepped up and had 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.000 a couple of big moments there, and that's a defense 0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:34.320 that's not great. But as you know, I am Echo 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:37.760 Chamber here when I talk about at some point during 0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:40.840 the season, somebody on your defense will have to make 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.439 a big play for you to win a Super Bowl. 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:48.200 It happens down through history. You can have the greatest offense, 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.840 you can have all the weapons, somebody has to make 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:57.120 a play on defense, and sometimes that happens. Sometimes it doesn't. 0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.720 You know, when the Patriots lost to the Eagles, they 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.680 had all the offense you'd ever need, Brady, they didn't 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:07.240 punt five hundred yards passing. No one made a play. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:10.600 Malcolm Butler makes a play With all that offense the 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.680 Patriots had, Malcolm Butler makes a play to win the 0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:21.559 Super Bowl. Steelers all that great offensive weapons. James Harrison 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.480 makes the interception on Kurt Warner and takes it back 0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:30.319 at the end of the first half. Chris Jones Kansas 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.600 City the best offense in football, one of the best 0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.960 we've ever seen. If Chris Jones doesn't knock down those passes, 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:40.720 they don't win the Super Bowl. Yeah. Pull Chris Jones 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.160 and the Super Bowl. The defensive tackle. His stat line 0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:49.120 was no tackles, one assisted tackle, no sacks, no quarterback hits. 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.160 But he had three batted down balls in the last 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.720 five minutes of the game. And they're all on crucial 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:57.599 plays ye crucial places. I mean, he easily could have 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:01.320 had MVP, almost like Santonio Holmes rapidly. By the way, 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.440 have you seen the Cam Newton hype video, Because I'm 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:10.360 in I'm ready to go my Patriots, and I don't 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.600 do we have the audio of this? Can we uh 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.000 play this? This it's like a black It looks like 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.640 it's a movie, but it's shot in black and white. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:19.800 It looks like it's early morning and he's working out 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.400 and yescause jarts did him now? Feel like he needs 0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.360 to answer that in his own hype video becas now 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.360 it looks like Cam's definitely the week one started after 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:30.840 watching that. All right. This is a portion of Cam 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:36.040 Newton's hype video while working out. You know what made 0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:48.079 it different? Is Dyin' ever seen its? Cam? Dyin ever 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:51.559 seen him? Scaus? You want to know how I know 0:12:52.320 --> 0:12:58.920 she ain't ever seen him? The forgotten Cam? No it 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:07.599 own Cam tired of being sick of tire camp. I 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:13.560 felt like I was just left to die. I'm saying, 0:13:13.840 --> 0:13:17.400 just just just just just over with for him. He 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:26.360 ain't the same player. M hm. You know what made 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:37.679 this different is they ain't never seen this camp? All right? 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:42.520 So aside from you know, Hawkinson Lugi's there, it's kind 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.560 of gross. Yeah, it was a morning workout there. I'm 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.560 ready went oh, Cam went, third person is they ain't 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:52.079 ever seen this camp? Yeah? I went, oh, okay, how 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:57.160 do you know that? WHOA that's a great luck and 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.720 a Patriots just got interesting. I love that he goes 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:04.959 the sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yes, dude, yes, 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.200 Oh the Patriots are interesting. Love that cam. They got 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.839 some personality that would be great if Jared's did Him 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.800 came out with one. Jared's ready to complete a third Natan. Yeah, 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:18.240 Jared is ready to work hard in the be the 0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:23.000 first locker room. They've never seen this Jared either. I've 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:26.920 never they've never seen this did him? The new One? Wait? 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:30.080 Was that? Was that your your Jared? Boys there? Yeah, 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.160 the hype video that was the white guy. Never actually 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:38.800 seen this version of me either, because he can't get 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:43.360 away with going third person. They've never seen this Jared before. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:48.280 Jared's ready for his opportunity to shine as well. Yeah. 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.000 I think what I'd like to do is just see 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.280 the MRI of your shoulder and your foot and then 0:14:52.320 --> 0:14:54.960 I'll be good. But that those would be the thing. 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:57.960 I don't need to see the hype video. I enjoyed it, 0:14:58.280 --> 0:15:00.520 but I'd rather see the MRI of your older and 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.960 your foot and never seen this roteria. Yeah, yeah, I 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:09.400 probably have. That's what I would want to see. Man. 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:14.160 I hope that he's back at twenty fifteen even just 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.800 like a reasonable facsimile of twenty fifteen camp. Would anyone 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.760 in this room bet that Jarrett Stidham makes more starts 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:26.080 for the Patriots, more starts than Cam Newton. Yes, yeah, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.120 like I'm a Sidham guy, old school, just because all 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.440 those reporters are saying that the Patriots wanted to give 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:37.560 him the job and he's good. Well, they got Cam 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.200 at a price they couldn't pass up on. Yeah, And 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:44.760 I think that's the key that there's very little financial 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:49.680 risk here and the reward could be yeah, very very 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:57.120 high ceiling here. I am curious about how Stidham processes 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:00.800 this where he's like, no, bring on the competution, can't 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:04.440 have too many Auburn quarterbacks in camp? Or do you go? 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:07.920 As soon as he stands side by side with Cam 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:09.760 and all of a sudden he's going, oh my god, 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.680 what am I doing here? That's a problem with being 0:16:13.680 --> 0:16:15.400 on the same team with Cam. Well, no, it's not 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:17.320 a model. But I'm talking about when he's out there 0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.160 working out. Yeah, he's gonna look small a sudden he seems, 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.000 you know, Cam being Cam. If that's the case, yes, 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:26.840 to do you shark Jack and Jill got a little 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.600 too mean spirited Firstadim, what was it putting the two 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.080 quarterbacks to get a Jack and Jill cam Newton being 0:16:34.120 --> 0:16:37.280 the Jack's muscular one. Gonna take a break. You had 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:39.320 a good monday, I will say you had a damn 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.560 good monday. And Bruce Smith was a good booking. But man, 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.360 this is a whole new hour and it all went 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:47.080 to the way side as good as your last before. 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:51.120 Jack and Jill, and you know what, I can see 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.600 you're working on it. That was yeah, But that's the 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:57.880 problem to cant can't you work shop these things and 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.240 you don't always have to verbalize everything, but you do, 0:17:01.480 --> 0:17:05.359 you do. Gonna take a break. We're gonna venture into 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.440 the NBA bubble. Coming up.

Joe, where are you right now? 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:28.440 Cornado Springs in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Okay, Now, how 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.000 much access freedom do you have to come and go 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:35.800 inside the hotel. So what I've been doing is when 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.679 I get a knock on my door for my food, 0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:42.760 I opened the door very slowly and I stand on 0:18:42.960 --> 0:18:46.120 both sides of the of the door for several seconds 0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.000 to milk as much fresh air as I can out 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:52.440 of picking up my food. Because that's it. The only 0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:54.240 time you can open your doors to pick up your 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.760 food or to step outside for just a second to 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.159 get the COVID test. That's the only freedom I have 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.879 for the until Monday. Can you visit other members of 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.000 the media. No, you can't walk down the hall. No. 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:10.760 And first of all, uh, you know with with most 0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.399 of the Disney hotels, it's not um they aren't Marriotts, 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.360 so it's more of a motel. Feel like the hall 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:20.560 There is no hallway, it's just outside. Okay, Um, but 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:24.080 yeah I can't. Yeah, you can't do anything. But how 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:27.200 long does this go? For? UM? As long as I 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:31.360 continue to test negative uh for the virus, I will 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.720 be allowed out of quarantine on Monday. So it's a 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:38.080 it's a seven or eight day quarantine any yard time. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:42.280 This feels like Shawshank redemption. Can you hit the wage? No? 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:48.200 And um, I just finished uh my second workout in quarantine, 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:53.560 which is I do a hundred push ups, sit up, squats, crunches, 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:58.600 uh dips, and burpies, and then I run from see 0:19:58.600 --> 0:20:00.400 if I could do this on my camp right here. 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:06.000 I run from that sync to that door and back 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.679 for twenty minutes. It was a little over two miles. 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:11.760 So that's that's my yard time, my man. And then 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:14.360 I wiped the sweat up off the floor and try 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:16.520 to clean up and turn this into a workspace. I 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:19.720 did shower, did shower. We're coming on. How confident are 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.640 you this is? We'll start on time and that will 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:27.200 actually crown a champion one hundred percent on the start time. 0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:30.000 I think we're great. And I don't know. I mean, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:34.960 I still am in that stage where I feel like 0:20:35.000 --> 0:20:37.399 they've done this right and they've done this well and 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:40.520 it will probably work. And I don't even want to 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:42.800 say maybe. I mean, I really think that this is 0:20:42.840 --> 0:20:47.159 going to happen. Maybe it's in part because of all 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.320 the protocols I have to go through, and I just 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.840 feel like everybody here is doing it for the most part. 0:20:52.960 --> 0:20:56.119 And the thing that feels the best is I feel like, 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:58.720 if if you step out of line and do something dangerous. 0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:01.000 They're going to catch you. Uh and you will be 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.760 punished as we have seen already with these two guys 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.520 who have broken quarantine, and explain what they did to 0:21:07.560 --> 0:21:10.360 break quarantine, Like how how does that happen that you're 0:21:10.480 --> 0:21:14.760 ordering food and it's being delivered? And did somebody rat 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.920 out one of these players or both of these players? Yeah? 0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:22.400 I think so. I mean, um, you know what we 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:28.800 with the case of of Bruno, Um, he was I 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.760 think he had a buddy who was trying who is 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.840 going to drive him up something that he wanted, like 0:21:33.920 --> 0:21:36.760 something to wear, um, while while he was while he 0:21:36.840 --> 0:21:40.720 was down here, and just lost his mind. Like you, 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:44.760 it's so unequivocally clear that that you cannot leave your 0:21:44.800 --> 0:21:47.480 room while you're in quarantine. Um. And then of the 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:49.840 case with the case of Holmes, right, like he went 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:52.080 too far and picking up the food that that he 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:55.000 had ordered. Um, you know, I mean, I guess you 0:21:55.040 --> 0:21:57.439 can call these mistakes, but they really they aren't. I 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:00.960 think it's more of just um not being used to 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:03.560 having to follow a certain set of rules and uh 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:05.960 and and you know, I think that reality is going 0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:08.520 to set in here. I like the rockets as a 0:22:08.640 --> 0:22:11.160 dark horse here, we'll get into who you like and 0:22:11.560 --> 0:22:14.240 are the Lakers still the favorites here? But Russell Westbrook 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.560 testing positive, he's acknowledged that he tested positive. We're still 0:22:18.600 --> 0:22:24.160 waiting for James Harden. Yeah, but what is there a 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:28.399 reason why he's not there? Yeah, I mean, I'm sure 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.280 it's it's because of the virus um. He just has 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:37.159 chosen not to announce it. And the teams can't do 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:41.359 it unless they have the player's permission. So, you know, 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:44.120 as of a couple days ago, you had Mike D'Antoni saying, well, 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:47.359 these three players aren't here and we can't say why. Uh, 0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.480 and then Russ kind of comes out yesterday and says 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:53.359 that he has in fact had the virus. And then 0:22:53.520 --> 0:22:57.960 just the timeframe, so Westbrook is going to start on time? Uh, well, 0:22:58.240 --> 0:23:01.159 we don't know that. I mean, we don't know. You 0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.920 have D'Antoni saying, first earlier in the week, well, yeah, 0:23:03.960 --> 0:23:06.680 they'll all probably be here by midweek, and then last 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.720 night it was well I hope that's what happens. I'm 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.560
