1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. They call it social distancing, a concept that

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: some members of The Dan Patrick Show have been practicing

4
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 1: for years. I remember this girl going gross get away

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: from me. Some members of the show struggle giving people

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: personal space. I think we all need to hug as

7
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: often as possible in the break after the show before

8
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: the show's never with you ever, but with recent events,

9
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: it's important to remember that The Dan Patrick Show is

36
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: we're all us together. Ain't much to do. I've prayed

37
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: my apartment like a gazillion times, Chris, there's nothing left

38
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: for me to do. What are you? I? Rob? I

39
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: went out yesterday. Now, remember I did the Dan Patrick

40
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Show yesterday with the Gottlieb and I went out afterwards

41
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: to the grocery store, and man, I was so excited.

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: I was excited to go to the grocery store. But

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: you just to get out, right, you hadn't left the house,

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: and how long? Two days ago I took a walk

45
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: with my wife and my daughter. But outside of that,

46
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: I hadn't That was what Tuesday, Monday. All week and

47
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: from Friday, Saturday day Sunday, I was just in the house.

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: Other than like taking out the trash or something like that,

49
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: I was in the house. So I was excited to

50
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: get out. I had been thinking about just getting in

51
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: the car and kind of driving around, you know, just

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 1: to kind of break up the monotony, which is fine.

53
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: If you're in the car by yourself, you've probably done that, right.

54
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm surprised a few more people may not be doing that.

55
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: But I went to the grocery store. I don't know

56
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: how they're doing it in California and other places, but

57
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: one store I went to, you had to stand in

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: line outside to be admitted into the store. Yeah, like

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: they're only letting in maybe I don't know, twenty five

60
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: people at once or something like that. Yeah, we have

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: that in La because you don't want the store to

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 1: be too crowded because then you're on top of each other,

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: and then they have all the lines that they have

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: the lines taped out to show you to stay six

65
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: kind of around me around the store. Like it was surreal.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: It was almost like a movie, like one of those

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, science fiction movies about something's happened and man

68
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: has destroyed himself or the earth, and you know what

69
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you start all over and people are so

70
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: different and almost like zombies. Everybody's was to themselves. Just

71
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: about everybody had masks on and nobody was really interacting.

72
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: You were just doing your own thing. People keeping their distance.

73
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: It was. It was kind of strange. I think I

74
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: told you for me, my little every couple of days,

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: I go out and order to carry out some wings

76
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: from me the Buffalo Wild Wings and Wingstop Chris and I,

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, do to carry out and my other little thing,

78
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: little my little joy. When I go out and get

79
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: in the car and just get some fresh air. I'll

80
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: go get a dollar diet coke from McDonald's. That's all.

81
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: That's it. There's nothing else. You know how much I

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: love to go into the stores and buy stuff. You

83
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: are a true people person I am, you know, I

84
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: love Yeah, so I know that. I mean, obviously everybody's

85
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, bothered by being cooped up in your house.

86
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, for a person like you who just enjoys

87
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: the human interaction, you know, I used to have much

88
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: with a lot of people all the time. You all

89
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: saw the Instagram, right, nine ten people having lunch together.

90
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: I love that stuff. Yeah. So, um, I'm you know,

91
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm here with my family's here, which is nice. We're

92
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: getting a lot of time together and that's that's fun

93
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: and good. Um. So I'm just trying to make the

94
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: most of it, as I'm sure everybody else is. And

95
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: there are things you can do, you know, so let's

96
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: you know, look, let's look at the bright side, the

97
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: glasses half full, right, and just make the most of it.

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: Do some of those things that you've been wanting to

99
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: get to. We all have things we've been wanting to

100
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: get to rob that we haven't had a chance to,

101
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: even if it's just watching a movie that you wanted

102
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: to or binge watching a Netflix series or something talking

103
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: about that you've never gotten a chance to see. Right,

104
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: there are other more productive things. Maybe you want to

105
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: work on a book, or you know, just get in shape,

106
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: hit to do some push ups, some sit up, some

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: jogging in place, whatever it may be, but try to

108
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: look at the bright side, and we're gonna do our

109
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: best to bring a smile to your face and some

110
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: joy to your heart. Uh, with our different type of

111
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: style of sports talk radio. All right, rob, let's get

112
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: here Cam Newton, which is who is a bona fide

113
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say celebrity? No, no doubt everybody. Everybody knows everybody.

114
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: If you say Cam Newton, they might they know. He's

115
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: an athlete, football quarterback. Uh. You know, stylish dresser right

116
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: a certain way, a little stylish for some people. Well,

117
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, uh, so, so he has a high

118
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: profile and he used to be Superman. Every time he

119
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: touch scored a touchdown, he act like he's ripping open

120
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: his shirt like Superman to show the yes right, all

121
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: that stuff. Yep. So there was a story in the

122
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: Athletic that's saying, and I've said this, I think he

123
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: makes sense for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots,

124
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: only for a year now. I don't know if Cam

125
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: is willing to play on a one year deal A

126
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: kind of I hate to say it for a guy

127
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: of that stature, but it's a proven deal because you've

128
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: been banged up you've been hurt. And I know he's

129
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: played most seasons fourteen or sixteen games, but he and

130
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: it is a credit to his toughness. But in a

131
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: lot of those seasons, Rob, especially lately, he's played banged up,

132
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, And he hadn't he hadn't used as an excuse.

133
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't gone out and sat out because he didn't

134
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: want to look bad. But he's played banged up. And

135
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: I am one of those that wonders, Hey, this guy's

136
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: taken a lot of shots. I think he ran the

137
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: football more than any quarterback in history. I may be

138
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: off on that. I'm not saying per year, because obviously

139
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has passed him in that, but over the years,

140
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: he ran the ball, I believe, more than any other quarterback.

141
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: And he took a lot of shots just from running,

142
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: but also because he's so big and powerful that they

143
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: let him. The refs let him take shots, which I

144
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think was fair all the time, but they

145
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: let him take shots that they wouldn't let other quarterbacks take.

146
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: So I think his body is a little you know,

147
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: he's just not quite athletically what he used to be.

148
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: And so I understand if I were a team, I'd

149
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: want him on a one year deal. Let's see what

150
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: you do and maybe you can be our guy going forward.

151
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: But it appears that the Patriots, the Chargers, you know, Miami, Denver,

152
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: any of these teams you want to throw out that

153
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: you think need quarterbacks, none of them seem to be

154
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: interested in Cam Newton. Rob I again, does he want

155
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: multiple years, does he want big money? Or is he

156
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: willing to play on a one year, fifteen twenty million

157
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: dollar contract. I don't know what do you think is

158
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: going on with Cam. I'm bothered by it from the

159
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: standpoint that it just seems a little disrespectful that a

160
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: guy who won at the NFL MVP and if you

161
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: remember that magical season, Chris through thirty five touchdowns, ran

162
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: for ten. It was unbelievable. They went fifteen and one

163
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: with the Panthers, went to the Super Bowl. Denver's defense

164
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: totally like shut him down, and it was just lopsided

165
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: that the Denver's defense won that Super Bowl and stopped

166
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: Cam and uh and I know there were some things

167
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: that even Cam and afterwards didn't really talk in the

168
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: press conference. He came off bad afterwards, and if you

169
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 1: remember There was also a play there where the ball

170
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: came loose and he didn't even go after it, you

171
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: remember in the pile, and people frowned on that, and

172
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: I get all that stuff, But even a couple of

173
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: years later, this is the same guy who in the

174
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: first half of the season was playing so well. His

175
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: name was in the conversation team right twenty that we're

176
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: not talking about ten years ago. A couple of years

177
00:09:54,720 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: ago in the conversation for being the MVP again. And

178
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: then if you remember his last time, I think the

179
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: last game he played Chris if I remember correctly, and

180
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: it was a national television game, and I remember he

181
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: looked so bad. You remember he could barely throw the football,

182
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: if you can remember that game, and it was obvious

183
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: he was hurt. He was still out there trying for

184
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: his team. He could have easily most people would have said, dude,

185
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: I can't do this, I'm I'm not healthy, but he

186
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: still went out there and tried until they finally had

187
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: they had to take him out of the game. And

188
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: now you know, supposedly, I'm just going by the reports,

189
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: he has a clean bill of health. We know football

190
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: guys get hurt, but people come back and for there

191
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: to be like with all the quarterback jobs that were open,

192
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 1: just surprised, and I think it's disrespectful that he's gotten.

193
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what his demands are, Chris, but I

194
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: still don't see where people bought him in. And then

195
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: after having that conversation with him, realizing he wants something

196
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: that we don't have. I don't know, and people could

197
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 1: tell me we may be honest. I mean, you don't

198
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: have teams haven't had a chance. Maybe maybe they can

199
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: obviously talk on the phone, or that's what I'm saying.

200
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm going about able to bring him in, But I'm

201
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: talking about from reports even talking with his agents, they

202
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of business done without bringing people in.

203
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater got a job. Philip Rivers was awful last year.

204
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: He got a job pretty easily because the good old boy,

205
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: he's familiar with some coaches in their system and Runt

206
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, and and and that stuff and and in

207
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: in um La with the Chargers Tyrod Taylor, who at

208
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: best is a stop gap quarterback Chris. He's the guy

209
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: that the Chargers want to go with rather than a

210
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: guy as accomplished or at least to give it a shot.

211
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Tyrod couldn't be the backup to

212
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: give him a chance. You have a great defense in

213
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Chicago with the Bears. Instead, you bought in two quarterbacks.

214
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: You know what they say, when you're having two quarterbacks,

215
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: it's like having two girlfriends. Neither one is good enough.

216
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: That's why you have two. So I just wonder why

217
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: there hasn't been more buzz about giving him an opportunity

218
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: if he's healthy to play. I saw some of the

219
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: video of him working out, and how you know he's

220
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: ready to go. And here's a guy, a proud guy, Chris,

221
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 1: who has a lot to prove. Here's a guy who

222
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: you might want because he still wants to re establish himself,

223
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 1: he has something to play for sometime. Those are the

224
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: great guys to get as lightning in a bottle for

225
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: one year. So now I agree, And that's the thing.

226
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: Now let me ask you this, would you if he's demanding,

227
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: If he's demanding thirty million a year, multiple years, then

228
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: I get it. Rob. I would not be willing to

229
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: commit that to Cam Newton, but I would be willing

230
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 1: to give him one year at pretty good money. Are you?

231
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers got I'm just saying, Philip Rivers got one year.

232
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 1: I think Chris at twenty five, I think that's what

233
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 1: the deal was. So, yes, I understand the Rivers. There

234
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: is a feeling of he didn't have any protection last year.

235
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: He's obviously never been mobile and with Indianapolis in that line,

236
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: he'll you know, he threw the ball, Okay, almost threw

237
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: for five thousand yards. But he also threw a ton

238
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: of interception but and a lot of them came in

239
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: the But but I'll say that, I'll say this even

240
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: in the Philip Rivers argument. Please remind me. I'll wait

241
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: on the MVP and the trip to the Super Bowl.

242
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: I'll wait. And here's the other part. Here's the other part.

243
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: He's looking at that Cam won the MVP in twenty fifteen.

244
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: I think the better argument for Cam is what he

245
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 1: did at the beginning of twenty eighteen. But here's the

246
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 1: other part. He's young, though, Chris, he's not old. If

247
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Cam was was Philip Rivers or thirty five or thirty six,

248
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: I would buy it. Okay, a thirty five, thirty six

249
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: year old quarterback coming off a major n I got reservations.

250
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: He's thirty one years old. See. I'm with you to

251
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: some degree. Rob, I'm with you in that I think

252
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of these teams they should take a

253
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: shot at him. I thought Chicago made a lot of sense.

254
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: We both talked about that. I think the Chargers make sense.

255
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: I think New England, as I said, makes some sense

256
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: on a one year deal. But I do get the

257
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: reservations as well. I know he's thirty one or he

258
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: will be. Is he thirty one already or he will be? Yeah,

259
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: he will be thirty one in May, right, But he

260
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: is banged up. His body is made up because he's

261
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: been a guy that's run the football an awful lot

262
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: and now he's not gonna run it as much, you

263
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: don't think. And he's never been that accurate. But that's

264
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: why I go back to twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen, Remember

265
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: there was all the talk now he is changing the

266
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: throwing motion, and all that stuff was in North Turner

267
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 1: he was working with, and he completed sixty eight percent

268
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: of his passes. He's a career fifty nine percent or

269
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: almost sixty percent completion guy. He completed sixty eight percent

270
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: of his throws two years ago. And that's over with,

271
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: including the second half of the season when he struggled mightily.

272
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned it. Those first eight games, they were six

273
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: and two, and he was in the MVP discussion. He

274
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: was four interceptions and then he got hurt. That's the

275
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: argument for me, and again I would still only want

276
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: him for one year to prove it. But I don't

277
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: go back to twenty fifteen because that was a long

278
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: time ago. But I think he showed two years ago

279
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: that even when trying to throw the football primarily he

280
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: can he can be effective doing that. So here's the

281
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: other thing, Rob, I gotta be honest, because you could say, hey,

282
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: could he be a bad back up to Lamar Jackson

283
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: in Baltimore or some of these other places. I don't

284
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: see Cam like if I'm a team, I would not

285
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: want him as a backup they mentioned people mentioned Buffalo

286
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen. I wouldn't want him as a backup

287
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: because Cam. Here's a few reasons. One, as you said,

288
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: he is a celebrity. He's a big name. And if

289
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: the starter say it was Josh Allen and Buffalo has

290
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: a few bad games, the drum roll from fans, from

291
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: the media, and I even think because Cam is that

292
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: type of personality, he's a leader. I think a lot

293
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: of the guys in the locker room would rally around Cam.

294
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: And then you got this big controversy with Cam newtonship.

295
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: We play Cam or stick with our young quarterback. So

296
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want him as a backup. Where are you

297
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: at on that? Well? I mean they're always controversies and quarterbacks,

298
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: and that's going on in the NFL for a long time.

299
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: And I would I would take a chance on him,

300
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: to give him a chance if he's healthy, which they

301
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: say he is, to be the starter. And I wouldn't

302
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: be afraid to bring him in either, if if he

303
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: could give me a chance to win, because ultimately, that's

304
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 1: what the league is about. It's about winning, right right?

305
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: All right? Why can't Cam Newton get a job in

306
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,320

341
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: whole coronavirusing, I finally got to putting it together. So

342
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: like YA was saying, look on the bright side, man,

00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: body right, and more time for the odd couple babies.

345
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,919
Speaker 1: You let me ask you this quickly, when your girl

346
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: gets you some weight, em is that a compliment? Is

347
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: that like yeah, like, oh thanks by, I'm this is great?

348
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: Or is it her saying, hey, you need to get

349
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 1: your stuff together? You know what? At first, I was

350
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: just like, man, look at her looking out for me.

351
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: She knows I want to get a little stronger, and

352
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: she knows I want to get a little h But

353
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: once you started making me health shake, because started telling

354
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: me to put the wings now, come on, baby, you

355
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: know that's a little offensive. Now right, right, right, right,

356
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: you can't do that the other way. Trust right, don't

357
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: you go get hurt exercise car for some gym or something. Right,

358
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: you'd be like what you're in trouble. There's other guys

359
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: that like this thickness. But anyway, right, baby, that's it's

360
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: shade in the summertime and it's swarmped in the winter.

361
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But right, anyway, right, you

362
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: know I was listening to y'all earlier. I had to

363
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: clap back. Y'all said the Sacramento teams got no championships.

364
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: Y'all got to kiss the ring twenty fourteen Summer League

365
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:42,719
Speaker 1: champions You feel that that just proves our answer is correct.

366
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: Sacramento Kings. I'm not gonna say the worst, but that

367
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: that's y'all had that little run, but y'all didn't capitalize.

368
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: And it was a little foul play too, Wei, y'all know,

369
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,399
Speaker 1: yeah it was. It was some foul play. It should

370
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: cam take. So anyway, if I take with Cavin Man,

371
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: I just feel like he gets in his own damn way.

372
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: This guy, I mean, he's not he's a locker room problem.

373
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't have any off the field issues, but he's

374
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: just such a diva man at the quarterback position. You

375
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 1: can't come in there and try to steal all the shine.

376
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: There's one place where I think he should land man,

377
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: and that's the La Rams. If any city would embrace

378
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: the guy like cam it would be it would be La.

379
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: And on top of all that, Jared gott has one

380
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: of the most terrible contracts in football history, and I

381
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: think he's on his way out. What do y'all think?

382
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: The Rams make sense? To me? I brought it. I

383
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: mean I thought that the Chargers more so because they

384
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: need a guy right away the Rams. I don't think

385
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: that after starting that contract with Jared Goff that they're

386
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: looking to replace him, even though he had an off

387
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: year last year. Chris, I don't think that at least

388
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: you're you're giving him at least one more year to

389
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: see what he right to see one or two you

390
00:21:55,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: can Yeah, you're locked in and again. And if I'm

391
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: a team, I'm not giving up a young quarterback in

392
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: Jared Goff who has played well at times, I mean

393
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: more than that times. Right, he had a great season

394
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: a few years ago, the year that they went to

395
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They had the fifth gradest offense in

396
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL. He's an author of that.

397
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: You can't take that away team. I'm not giving that

398
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: up for a guy that I may not be healthy

399
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: for very long. And again that's why any team I'm

400
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: looking at Cam on a one year deal, I might

401
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: give an option, you know, player or team option for

402
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: the second year, but I'm definitely looking at him as

403
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: a one year guaranteed money and then if he if

404
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: he plays well and stays healthy, we can go on

405
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,479
Speaker 1: from there. But yeah, that's why I wouldn't do that

406
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: if I'm the Rams. Yeah, the Rams in the place

407
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: we're talking about places that need a quarterback. That's the thing, Chris,

408
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: It's not like everybody all the quarterback spots were locked down.

409
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: We saw plenty of movement for quarterbacks, didn't. We just

410
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: pass off seas this offseason. So yeah, so that's that's

411
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: what's That's what's shocking is like even the UH Chargers

412
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: who were in on the Tom Brady. Tom Brady had

413
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: two offers, one from the Chargers and one from Tampa Bay.

414
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 1: So the Chargers were looking to take an older quarterback

415
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: add them to what they have, try to sell some tickets.

416
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 1: I think that Cam fits into the LA, the whole la.

417
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: They agree and just and gives them some moxie and

418
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,360
Speaker 1: something right and gives them some some some cache. Would

419
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: you agree? Yes? And remember and and and I know

420
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: I rib you about this, and I should because you

421
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: always try to jump on me about the Browns. But

422
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: the Chargers. You picked them to win the super Bowl

423
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: or get to the super Bowl. Last year they didn't

424
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But a year before, remember, they were

425
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: a very good team. And so they're not. And I

426
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: know the NFL, you know, you always see teams have

427
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: great years here and there and then fall off. But

428
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: they do have weapons. You got good receivers, you got

429
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: good running backs. They put Cam in there just for

430
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: a year. If it doesn't work, where are you going

431
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: with Tyrod Taylor? You're not going anywhere with him? You

432
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: mean a show, right? I mean, I guess they think

433
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: maybe he can get them to the playoffs, but you're not.

434
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: You're not winning any major playoff games with Tyride Taylors

435
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: your quarterback. So why not try Cam for one year

436
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: and see what happens with it. I don't understand. I

437
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: don't understand how that could hurt. I totally agree, especially

438
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: when he's similar to Tyrode right, so if he got

439
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: hurt or something, you wouldn't have to change the system

440
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: or anything like that. But but you're not. But you're

441
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: not going anywhere with Tyrod Taylor. That's the part I

442
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: don't Where are you going? Chris? Seriously? Are you going

443
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: one playoff game? You will you sell any tickets at

444
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: the new stadium in La Whoa, that's the looking at

445
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Cam Cam. Bring some cashet and you would sell some tickets.

446
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: Here's what I think will happen with with h Cam Rob.

447
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna sit out and be ready for

448
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, he'll wait till he can get a starting

449
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 1: job rabbiting, go somewhere as a backup. But let's bring

Speaker 1: me on and Rob congrats for you for juicing the

458
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: votes on the greatest college bastball player of all times.

459
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: So that can be as wrong as the greatest player

460
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: of all time in your mind. Good to talk to you. Yeah, hey,

461
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: there you go. Nice shot, really right off the bat,

462
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: right quickly. Your family's good, your wife, everybody's good. We're

463
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: all good, man, we are. The only thing that is

464
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: not good is I am learning. I would have made

465
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: a terrible and I mean terrible teacher, especially for first graders.

466
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: But aside from that, we're blessed, man, I you know

467
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. I obviously haven't lost us any jobs,

468
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: and we're faith in New York's a little scary right now,

469
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: but all things considered, we got nothing to complain about. Good. Good, Well,

470
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: let look we got we got We can go around

471
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: the sports world with you, but let's start with Cam Newton,

472
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: who we're just we're talking about. What do you think

473
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: will happen with him? First of all, why do you

474
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: think he's kind of on the outside looking in? And

475
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: what do you think his future will be? Yeah, I'm

476
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I'm shocked that nobody traded for him.

477
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: And the argument is, well, if he's not healthy, then

478
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: you just wasted a fifth round pick. Teams waste fifth

479
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: round picks every single year. Fifth round picks were created

480
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: to be wasted by teams. So I to get Cam

481
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: on a one year, nineteen million dollar deal, which is

482
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: what he could have been had at to me, would

483
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 1: have been so smart, and I'm shocked nobody did it.

484
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm truly shocked by it. But now that he's out there,

485
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: I do think it's gonna be tough in this regard.

486
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:27,239
Speaker 1: As much as I liked Cam, I wouldn't want to

487
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 1: sign him to a multi year deal with a bunch

488
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: of guaranteed money because I'd want to see if he's healthy.

489
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: But the same team that I thought made the most

490
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: sense for Tom Brady to me, clearly makes the most

491
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: sense for Cam Newton. And that's the Los Angeles Chargers.

492
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynz got to win now to keep his job.

493
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 1: He's game a one year extension. They have excellent weapons

494
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: on offense. They have two of the singular best defensive

495
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: players in the entire sport on defense in Derwin James

496
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: and Joey Bosa. And they gotta get some star p

497
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: hour to get the you know, the Bluejie folks in

498
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: LA like you two to care about it, and so

499
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: I to me, it checks all the boxes and teams

500
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: should operate more decisions. From this perspective, what does my

501
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: opposition hope? I don't do. I'm a Chiefs fan. I

502
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: would be devastated if the Chargers signed Cam Newton all

503
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: of a sudden. There's a real competition in the division,

504
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: so I think that makes the most sense of all

505
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: the teams. So, Nick, me and you clash a lot

506
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: on some takes, but I think me and you on

507
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: the same page when it comes to Tom Brady, and

508
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: in fact, I don't know. Did you see the WI poll?

509
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 1: You're both wrong? Wow, we're both We were both mentioned

510
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: as one of the top three haters of Tom Brady.

511
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, explain to me why you think Cam is

512
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: better than Tom Brady at this point in his career.

513
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, he's thirteen years younger. Cam. The last time

514
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: we saw him healthy the first half of twenty eighteen,

515
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: was playing some of you could argue the best football

516
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: of his career and statistically was on face for a

517
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 1: season only trumps by his MVP year as opposed to Brady,

518
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: who is coming off the worst year of his career.

519
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 1: Where you and I differ Rob on Brady as this.

520
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: I think he's the greatest quarterback of all time. I

521
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: think you've got him like the eleventh or twelve. Now

522
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: I just I just don't think he's good anymore. I

523
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: think he once upon a time was the best quarterback

524
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: in the world. I think that once upon a time, though,

525
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: is we're a few years removed from it right now.

526
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: I think he's an average to below average NFL quarterback.

527
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: So that's where I'm at with Brady, And I think, listen,

528
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: it's the line graph that's headed straight down, and I

529
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: think everyone can see that. Yeah, but I bet I

530
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: bet Rob some wings that Brady leads the Buccaneers to

531
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs. You want some of that action? Yeah, sure,

532
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: no problem, I all right, now, Rob, keep in mind,

533
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brustard's been so famous and so wealthy for so long.

534
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: He's got some ownership steak in restaurants nationwide. So probably

535
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: three rolls on the bet, like he bet that he

536
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: owned in a spot he owned. So you got in

537
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: mind here, But yeah, I'm in on it and Nick,

538
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: And here's what Chris, Chris loves. He's a prisoner of

539
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: the moment last year when the Browns got ob J.

540
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: He was all in, They're going to the playoffs, They're

541
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: going to the super Bowl, he was. He was all

542
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: crazy about the Browns. And here he is. Tampa bands

543
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: had made the playoffs in twelve years and now at

544
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: bringing in a guy whose pre game meal consists of

545
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: sodium free bacon, uh decaf coffee in a chest X

546
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: ray and he has him going to the playoffs made

547
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: me legitimately laugh. A funny show. I really loved the show,

548
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: by the way, you got to do a great thank you, sorry,

549
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: thank you man. Let's move to basketball. And look, you know,

550
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Rob and I both believe and know that Michael Jordan

551
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: is the goat. But this ESPN's and I love my

552
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: former networking on that, But ESPN, this college bracket, they

553
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 1: did the greatest player of all time in college history.

554
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: There's no Michael Jordan's not even in the conversation. It's

555
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 1: clearly lou Al Sender, probably Bill Walton after him. Tell

556
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: me your thoughts on you know, Jordan being name number one,

557
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 1: and who you think it is, if if it could

558
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: be anybody other than al Sender. Okay, so let me

559
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: do it in reverse order. First of all, it is

560
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: obviously lou al Cender. He played three years. All three

561
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: years he won Player of the Year all three years,

562
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: he won a national championship. All three years he won

563
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: Final four MVP. He lost two games by combined four

564
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: points in his whole career. He's the best. Now. The

565
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: next three, in some or or another are Bill Walton,

566
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Bill Russell, and Oscar Robertson. We could argue about the

567
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: order on those, but that's your mount Rushmore of college

568
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: basketball players. The only player you know from nineteen ninety

569
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: on that is even in the room is Christian Later,

570
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: these damn zinials that didn't even see Jordan play, that

571
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: would vote him the best white American player ever if

572
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: they had a chance, they voted the tallest player in

573
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: NBA history, if they had a chance, are dufastis. But

574
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't blame them. I blame you two and the

575
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: folks like you who just continue these ten didn't even

576
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: I get it. If you're if you're your guy's age

577
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: and you're tiesier nostalgia of the past, fine, but it's

578
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: teenagers voting in these things, and they got They've got

579
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: nothing but propaganda their whole lives to listen. Jordan's without question,

580
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: one of the three greatest players of all time, the

581
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: three greatest plays. Well wow, wait wait, I think he's second.

582
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: But the point I'm making is Kareem, Lebron and Jordan

583
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: are You are the top three, and people can argue

584
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: legitimately a case for any of those three. There there's

585
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: a legitimate case for any of the three, and there's

586
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: a legitimate case for any of those three to be

587
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: second or third. But the problem is that we only

588
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: look at Jordan's through these rose colored glasses. Nothing was

589
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 1: more perfect than earlier. This week there was the anniversary

590
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: of his double Nickel and Madison Square Garden. It was

591
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: like the twenties something, your anniversary. You guys both know

592
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: the game I'm talking about it. I watched it when

593
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: it was on again. Yeah, okay, here's the problem with

594
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 1: that game, though, Chris and Rob, I've been told that

595
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: year didn't happen because that wouldn't mean Wait, he was back,

596
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: So they won the title that year? No they didn't.

597
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: Oh so he lost in the playoffs during the run. No,

598
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: that never happened. He would have won eighth straight. He

599
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: retired for two years, So how did that fifty five

600
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 1: point game. Happened? Was there a black hole? Was there

601
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: a time loop of oh oh? What happened? Was he

602
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: was good enough to score fifty five a couple of

603
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: weeks out of baseball, but out of shape enough to

604
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: lose in the second round to the Magic, Or maybe

605
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: the Magic were just better. I don't know, but you

606
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: guys don't allow that conversation that happened. You guys, allow

607
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: bro go ahead. Sorry, but I love how you've turned

608
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: this into a lebron is better than Jordan's point. That

609
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: shows Nick that Michael Jordan could get off the couch,

610
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: come off the diamond, hadn't picked up a basketball in

611
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: a year and a half and five games, and he

612
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: drops fifty five and the best defensive team in the league,

613
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: and he wasn't even Nick Anderson because they were. It

614
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: was out of shape. It was ready for that season.

615
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: You know what you sound like. You know what you

616
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: sound like right now? The Warrior fans in the twenty

617
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 1: sixteen playoffs that when Steph comes back from his injury,

618
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 1: that's an all time record for points in overtime and

619
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: his first game back from injury and fellows to the crowd,

620
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: I'm back it steps back, and then in the finals

621
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: when he gets swallowed alive, it's steps hurt. And then

622
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: when he makes the shot, always back, and then it's

623
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: always hurt. And then it's oh, the game's rigs for

624
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,359
Speaker 1: ratings or money. Oh, I'm sorry. That was his wife

625
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: he said that, not fans, and so like again, you

626
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: got to pick the lane here fellas and so the Yeah,

627
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:31,359
Speaker 1: but listen, I'm Jordan. I'm sure Rob would vote him

628
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: the greatest minor league baseball player of it and and Nick,

629
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm My last word to you is Lebron James is

630
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: not the goat. He's the Fox Finals failure of all time.

631
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: He's lost more finals than any other former MVP. It's point.

632
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: It's such a great point, uh. And I it's it's nuanced,

633
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: it's well thought out. And it would have been better

634
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 1: for Lebron instead of it twenty two years old to

635
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: drop forty eight points, including twenty five straight, to get

636
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals against Detroit. It would have been

637
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: better if he scored no points and loss because we

638
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: could win. It would have been better. It would have

639
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: been better for n had he won that game, Nick,

640
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: had they won the finals, would you count it. Yeah, Rob, okay,

641
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: you would have counted it. I would hate to be

642
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: I would hate to like if to be a child,

643
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Rob Parker and I make the Olympics and I come home,

644
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 1: it's like, hey, how'd you do? When it's like I

645
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: got the silver medal? And he's like, oh, the real

646
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,320
Speaker 1: winners either got no medals or gold. Throw the silvers

647
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: and brons in the track. Such nonsense. We actually believe

648
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: you get enalized for advancing in the playoffs. Rob. The

649
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: argument you're making is that Lebron would have been better

650
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: off having only made three finals ever if he made

651
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: him a well thirteen and sixteen and every other year,

652
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: if he would have lost earlier that in O nine,

653
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,879
Speaker 1: it was good that he lost the Orlando Magic. It's asinine.

654
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: It's a terrible argument. You've been making it for a decade.

655
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: I think you've tricked yourself into believing it. But it's horrible.

656
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: It's really On that note on that, we will have

657
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: you on again, Nick, because clearly we can go at

658
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: it for three hours with you, so we appreciate the time. Man,

659
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 1: you're doing a great time. On First things first, stay

660

663
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: The NBA is said to be determined quote unquote to

664
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: finish the season, and they absolutely should be. I'll explain why. Next,

670
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: Let's go quickly here, Rob. There was an interesting story

671
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: in the New York Post about how the NBA is determined,

672
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean determined to finish out some form of this season.

673
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: And I was talking to somebody in the league office

674
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: earlier this week and same thing. I mean, they really

675
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: are intent on getting through this season because so much

676
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: money could be lost if they don't. And the article

677
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: in the New York Post said that the league is

678
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: considering three games series plural throughout a truncated postseason. So

679
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:57,280
Speaker 1: you know, let's say every round, first, second, conference finals,

680
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: and the finals was three games, or even if you

681
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: go five games for the finals. Um, how would you

682
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 1: feel about that? Like, I mean, I think we'd all

683
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: be excited to see NBA basketball and to have some

684
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: type of conclusion to the season and some type of playoffs.

685
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: But do you think, like, would you look down on

686
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: that title? Like I gotta be honest, if let's say

687
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: Lebron and the Lakers won that, I could see people

688
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: like you and Skip Bayless and those of your ilk

689
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: you mean, smart guys who know the game. I think

690
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: listeners know what I'm saying, But I could see you

691
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: guys be literally that title if Lebron were to win

692
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: it and basically being like, it's not he didn't win

693
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: a fourth ring, it didn't count. There's an asterisk. Whatever.

694
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: How would you I'm asking you, how would you? What

695
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 1: would your view be whether it was Lebron or anybody,

696
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: But it would be tainted and people wouldn't I don't

697
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: know if they would fully recognize it. I get the NBA.

698
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 1: They're trying desperately, Chris. It's been an awful financial year

699
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: with the China situation that happened, you know, the beginning, right,

700
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: losing money, Daryl Morey and all the stuff that went on.

701
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: So I get that part. So yes, they want to

702
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: try to do whatever they can and don't want to

703
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: lose an entire season because it's gonna affect their bottom

704
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: line and their business. So I get that part, but

705
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: you don't want to You don't want to get to

706
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 1: the point where you jeopardize or bastardize Chris, your league

707
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: and a championship and the way people look upon it.

708
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: It's very important. You know that stuff matters. You just

709
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: can't be fly by night because you want to collect

710
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: the check. You want to keep some things in perspective,

711
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: make people want to believe in that that championship is legit,

712
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: not have any question. All that stuff is very important

713
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 1: as you go forward, do you know what I mean?

714
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:05,280
Speaker 1: So I get the NBA, get the financial ramifications, but

715
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: but hold fast and make sure your legacy in your

716
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: league is not compromise. And that's what I think the

717
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: league can do by doing fly by night ideas just

718
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: to get games on. Yeah, it's an interesting situation. I agree.

719
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I've to have three three games series, and

720
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: it maybe even four if they didn't make the finals.

721
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: At least five. It's different. I think initially, I think

722
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 1: there'd be a celebration because obviously everybody's playing under the

723
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 1: same rules, so it's not like Lebron or whoever wins

724
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: would have had an advantage. But you're right, there's no

725
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: denying it would be different. And I think initially there

726
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: might be some people that pooh pooed it and that

727
00:41:57,840 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: were critical of it and didn't look at it the

728
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,359
Speaker 1: same way and kind of put a mental asterix by it.

729
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: But I think going forward, I think it's time went on.

730
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: I don't think people would feel that way. I think

731
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: it's time went on and we got further and further

732
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: away from it. People would view it as just if

733
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: it were Lebron his fourth title, or if it's Kauai

734
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: his third title, you know, you know, legitimately. So I

735
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: think in time it'll be fine. But initially I do

736
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: think there probably could be some type of mental asteris

737
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: by people's in people's minds about that. Yeah, but I

738
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: think the important thing is we got to recognize nobody

739
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: would have had an advantage. It just you know, it

740
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: just it, but it just doesn't feel right. I just

741
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: think that's what it's more about. And you want to

742
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: make sure you protect the league's integrity bottom line. Yeah, yeah, No,

743
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. I do think they need to play

744
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: some type of regular season, if it's only five to

745
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: seven games, just to get guys in shape because of

746
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: quality of play is gonna be bad coming right off

747
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:06,279
