The NFL's over, college football is over. 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.200 We could pile on the Lakers, who uh defecated down 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:31.840 the side of their leg last night. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:32.720 I haven't been bad. 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:36.599 The Hornets, they haven't been good, man, since Luca's gotten there. 0:00:36.720 --> 0:00:40.199 Yeah, there haven't been bad since Luca's got there. They 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:41.400 just lost to the Hornets. 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.720 Yeah, but he's played it. The horns are fourteen thirty nine. 0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.360 What they might have three losses since he's gotten there. 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.320 I think they're like, he's only played three games. Yeah, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.800 but since he's gotten there, so yeah, he's he. 0:00:53.760 --> 0:00:55.480 Hasn't scored more than twenty in any game. I don't 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:55.920 think has he. 0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.120 I don't know, but I think their record since he's 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:02.040 gotten there, like it was like ten and two or something, 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.720 eight and two something like that. Might have some recency 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.440 bas but they looked awful last night. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.119 So I mean, does eight and two matter if he's 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:09.200 only playing three games? 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:12.600 I mean, just the record, I don't know. I mean, 0:01:12.720 --> 0:01:16.480 I guess he hasn't contributed directly in the game and 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:17.720 say he's gotten there ye. 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.319 Off an injury. You guys are missing the point, like 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.440 he literally has not only played in three games. 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:27.080 I think you guys are exercising like self hate here 0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:31.560 man like internal hate, brou like, y'all need to stop that. 0:01:32.000 --> 0:01:35.200 It's his influence over the team that has changed. What 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:38.120 that's the point you guys are missing. Okay, Luca's in 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.440 the Luca effect. Yeah, you guys are doing. 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:45.160 You're you're making a mockery of our summer. That's what 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:49.240 you're doing. This is our summer. Yeah, long ways off 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:51.040 and that all I'm gonna say is. 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:51.680 We're taking over. 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.000 They're they're one and two. By the way, in the 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:58.520 three games he's played since they've been back you know Utah. Yeah, 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.400 actually they split with Utah. Yeah before they lost. 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.000 You know, you guys are hating Just I'm just letting 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.360 you guys know they're they're on their way up. You know, 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.200 just be bitter because we're taking over. They're ranked fifth 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.960 they're ready, They're they're ready to go. They're thirty four 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:16.960 and twenty one, take six in the Super Bowl. Lucas 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:19.240 getting back right. That's the contest. 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:21.360 The contest is that three years in a row now 0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.519 by the three point shootout? Is that the greatest three 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:25.919 p that's not being talked about is Mack mcclunk. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.359 One, an irishman just went and took from you. I mean, 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.639 y'all did give it to him this year. There were 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.600 there was another fella that had better dunks than he did, 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.000 that happened to be different than him. But you know, 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.560 that's that's kind of sometimes that's the the you get 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:45.640 the business. Well, sometimes the excuse is you get the 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.120 benefit of the doubt, you know, that's all. It's like, 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.680 oh my gosh, his dunk is so much better because 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.480 he was able to do that dunk. Because fill in 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:56.840 the blank is the dunk contest? The right of passage 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:58.799 in the NBA not anymore? 0:02:59.520 --> 0:03:03.280 Well, no, no, no, But but like that's the wrong answer, 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.880 because it's either right of passage or it's not. 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:07.280 It's not anymore. 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.840 Okay. So here's what I said, then, is if you 0:03:09.919 --> 0:03:12.040 are one of the all time greats Jordan did it, 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:16.079 Kobe did it, Doctor j did it. Lebron's ever done it? 0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:22.480 Correct, That definitely works against him, Like what are you 0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:26.239 afraid of? Like, get out there and dunk, Which is interesting. 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.799 Because you'd think he'd win one if he did do it, 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:33.400 because he's maybe the greatest athlete the NBA has ever seen. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:37.800 You would think again, I said they made they made 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:43.680 documentaries off of Michael Jordan doing dunk contests. I mean, 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:47.080 you made it a point to redo space Jam. Why 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.960 wouldn't you go out there and dunk? Like I felt 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.200 like space Jam was a product of Mike Doan come 0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:56.000 fly with me, which was a product of him doing 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:59.680 dunks in the dunk contests. Hey, you guys had your run. 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.240 Well it's that bro cats, you just don't want to 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.120 do it anymore, like if you had the best of 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.360 the best doing it. But still with him the way 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.760 his dunks are pretty fly, I'm not gonna lie to you, Like, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.680 no matter who would be out there, those dunks would 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.880 be pretty hard to outdo, they'd be pretty hard to outdo. 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.120 So good for he had a perfect score this year. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.919 I think when you see guys get the opportunity to 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.360 showcase their athleticism in those dunk contests. I think that 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.400 that's what makes them so cool to watch in the past. 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.000 That's what I told you this on Maybe Q. You 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:36.680 weren't on the show, but I was like, you got 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:39.400 to know players that you wouldn't normally get to know, 0:04:39.720 --> 0:04:42.400 Like Kenny Skywalker is one of the biggest names that 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.920 jump out at me where it was like I didn't 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:46.960 know who he was. It was an obscure name. You 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.840 wouldn't have known what team he played for, what he did, 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.160 who he was. Then all of a sudden, you see 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.159 this dude come out from the New York Knicks and 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.919 he's doing like air ballet, Like the dunks he was 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:01.840 doing were crazy for that time period, and he won, 0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:04.760 and people knew who he was after that, and he 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:08.359 had a nickname Kenny Skywalker. Like I don't know, I 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.800 just you know. I think it's changed. I think the 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.119 idea of it has changed. I think what it represented changed. 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:16.200 There was a lot of clout that was connected to 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.320 whenning a dunk contest at some point in time, and 0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:21.360 I don't think that it exists anymore. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.880 So I bring this up because Brendan Hayward talked about 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:29.000 the NBA All Star Games. Decline has basically occurred since 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.400 Kobe left, and obviously Kobe did the dunk contest, but 0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.280 it brings up an earlier point where I was talking 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.960 this week just about the difference between watching the Four 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:43.160 Nations USA Canada game as compared to and on at 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:45.280 the same time as the NBA All Star Game and 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.480 the lack and intensity of it. And I think when 0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.000 I heard the comments from Brendan Hayward about, you know, 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.960 the decline and why it's declined what he was talking about, 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.000 I keep harkening back to this idea of intensity, and 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.680 I think one of the things that stands out to 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.920 me is if you look at the torch that has 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:05.080 been passed from Michael to Kobe, Kobe, if you willed 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.920 it to Lebron, those guys set the tone. Like I've 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:12.960 always felt like, you know and walk through periods for football, 0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:17.240 for example, your leaders, your impact guys, your stars are 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.920 the ones that set the tone. Like I'll never forget 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:24.039 Von Miller when he came in as a rookie and 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:29.039 he took every single period like it was a game rep. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.800 It didn't matter if it was a walkthrough, and I 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.120 remember it literally used to cause fights with offensive linemen 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.840 in Denver because of how hard he wanted to come 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:41.919 off the ball and all that. And eventually, eventually what 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.960 ended up happening was, you know, after the coaches would 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.400 say something, the players would get in a fight and 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.080 there'd be a little bit of that going on. They 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.279 would just let him do his thing because he was 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.400 obviously so successful at what he was doing. They weren't 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:53.960 going to change what they were doing. But they weren't 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:55.720 going to just do a full out one on one 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:58.839 rep with them either. And I look at and I 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.880 compare that to like, what what's happening in the NBA 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.320 All Star Game is. You know, you had SGA, you 0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.840 had Wemby, you had guys who were out there competing 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.200 and there's a level of intensity. But when Lebron sits 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.440 out and when he's not a part of that, and 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:16.200 when he's kind of been the the bearer, if you will, 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:20.680 the torch bearer for the NBA. Now since Kobe, you 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:23.160 look at it and say, like, well, how much responsibility 0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.239 does he really have in all this? Since he's ultimately 0:07:26.320 --> 0:07:29.280 the tone setter. You know, when things happen in the league, 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.080 when there's a shape is shape, and a shakeup and 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.240 different things that occur. He's usually behind the scenes part 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.160 of it. Clutch Sports is behind the scenes part of it. 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:39.120 And so I kind of look at it and go, well, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.840 is that part of the decline? The fact that, like, 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.840 you've got someone who's who's obviously been one of the 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.320 greatest of all time. There's no one going to dispute that. 0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:51.040 But are we at where we're at because of this 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.480 transition in the way maybe Lebron views the league and 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.880 Lebron views the NBA All Star Game as compared to 0:07:57.480 --> 0:07:59.320 Kobe and Michael and some of the other guys who 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.040 kind of carried the ch for the NBA before that. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.040 I think what you're saying at the last part with 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:06.800 Kobe and Mike, I think is what's damning. If what 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.480 you're saying is true, If it's accurate that the decline 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:16.520 is based off of, you know, what Lebron James does, 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:20.520 then you're in trouble because when Michael Jordan was coming 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:23.240 to the end, there were guys like Kobe Bryant that 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.400 were there to be the mega star that was going 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:29.320 to step in and be that next major figure. You 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.480 had Shaquille O'Neill. You had the Vince Carters, you had 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.160 Tracy McGrady. I mean, you had plenty of guys that 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:43.200 were stepping up to be figures that kept the brand 0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:47.800 growing strong. Even as individual brands themselves, they were keeping 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.679 the brand going strong again. I think that disconnect continues 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:57.000 to the gap of that disconnect post Lebron is continuing 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.840 to grow and whether people want to admit that or not, 0:08:59.920 --> 0:09:02.400 you can have the most talented because I don't think 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:06.680 anyone will dispute the fact that guys are more skilled 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.760 and more talented than what they've ever been. But there's 0:09:10.920 --> 0:09:15.520 not the same connection between the players and the fan base. 0:09:15.880 --> 0:09:18.760 It's just not the same for one reason or another, 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.840 I don't know. But there is no anointed one that 0:09:21.880 --> 0:09:26.000 you're saying, Okay, when Lebron is done, this becomes the 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.480 guy that you can hang That's the bell cow that 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.600 you can hang our brand on, and he's going to 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:34.960 carry it and continue to build. There's no we're going 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:38.040 to have a conversation at the most brilliant thing that 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.959 could have ever happened with Lebron James's era of time 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:44.640 is that he became comparable to Michael Jordan in terms 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:48.439 of being the greatest ever. That debate has kept him 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.360 relevant and has kept the NBA relevant for all this time. 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.480 And who do you have to say that about now? 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.839 Name me one player in today's NBA that you would say. Now, 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.960 people throw out the fact that that you have what 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:08.800 was it, the Joker winning the MVP as many times 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:10.640 as he's done, and then you compare that to some 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:12.640 of the greats that have ever done it. But let's 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.240 be clear, are we really going to say that we're 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:21.000 going to carry the NBA brand with Joker? I don't 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.000 think that's going to be I don't think that is 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:27.200 going to be legit or feasible to think that he's 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.120 going to carry the brand. I don't think he wants 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.920 it either. For whatever it's worth, that dude likes gambling and. 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:35.720 Horses, right right, he just loves horses. 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.599 I'm just saying, just give that guy a horse and 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:38.920 a sports book. He's fine. 0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:42.520 There's not a name. Anthony Edwards is a name that 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.000 jumps out at you because he has the personality that 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.600 intensity that you're you're talking about Q. He brings it 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:52.840 to the game every single game he plays in. I 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.679 think he just came out recently and said, man, I 0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:56.160 don't want to. I don't want to be the face 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.000 of the NBA like I'm not. I just don't. I 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:03.640 don't know who is, who will be, Who can carry 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.520 that mantle, who can carry that torch. I don't think 0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.679 there's not Wimby. I don't see it being Wimby. Wimby's 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:13.240 no different than you taught it, Tim Duncan. No, it's 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.679 I don't know what it is. There has to be 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.640 that IT factor that's there for that guy to do it. 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:21.480 The only guy that has the IT factor you asked 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:25.160 me is is Anthony Edwards. He's the only one that 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:29.079 has the IT factor. He's the only Was. 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.640 Magna clung that in the White Man Can't Jump remake? 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:32.679 Was he? 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:34.200 I don't think he was. 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.559 Wasn't that there was a remake too? Wasn't there? By 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.079 the way, Yeah, I didn't see it. By the way, 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.280 talk about a movie that's been proven fiction dunked in 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.800 whatdy Harrelson dunked in the movie Come on, fake false 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:50.880 narrative he dunked in the movie. Did you see his 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.720 calf muscles in the movie? He dunked he had bigger 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.959 calf muscles than Wesley Snipes. I don't know what y'all 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.720 hating all your own people for man, they feel like 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:01.079 there's some bitterness for you. 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:02.959 You know, we're taking over. 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:08.640 I don't get it. We're taking over, Like take it over. 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:16.280 You tripped out. The man has one interception for a touchdown. Now, 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.720 y'all take it over the NFL. Right, If there's one 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:24.560 you play pretty good. If there's one category and two 0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.160 sports where I'd say y'all ain't taking over no time soon. 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.720 If ever is going to be football and basketball, I'm sorry. 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.120 Like I told you, y'all stick to golf stick, the 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.640 hockey stick, the horse ride and be a question. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:39.760 I think Tom Brady is still on the top of 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:40.360 Mount Rushmore. 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:44.720 Sure that's one player name name all the rest of 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:49.160 the players that are the greatest players. Let's go. Let's 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:51.640 go ratio. That's cause y'all love that's And the point 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:54.280 is you prove the point. That's why y'all focus so 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.520 much on quarterbacks. But you know what, we're coming for 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.160 that too. Who is the MVP of the We're coming 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:04.400 for that too. Who is the m v P of 0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:07.760 the NFL this year? Oh man, it should have been 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.600 Squon Barkley who it should have been. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:12.960 That's that's what I'll say. But he didn't fit the criteria. 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:17.280 Of course he didn't takeover, No, he didn't. Yeah, who 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.480 won the Heisman this year? Who is the Heisman winner? Oh? Okay, 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.800 I don't talk about Okay. 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.079 Interesting, I just you know, Dylan Gabriel got well, Saquon 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.439 Barkley got robbed. I mean, let's be clear, it should 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:36.400 have been a clean sweep too, Offense defense, m v P. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.200 It should have been a clean sweep. But you know, 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.120 you gotta maintain everybody out there don't hate me and 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.480 call me a race bait or too, because that's Brady 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:51.920 and and Jonas base just about what y'all want. Like, 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.840 I'm not afraid to engage 'all. Y'all, we go from 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:58.400 talking about the NBA also that all of a sudden, 0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:02.200 we're a race baker. Asked you guys, what guys could 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:02.400 do it? 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.400 Y'all said, kid, you sound like being Ryan Clark. Now 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:07.000 you're getting. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:14.400 Victim. Don't do that. I am engaging two white males 0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:21.080 that want to make this and I'm going to get 0:14:21.200 --> 0:14:24.080 jumped on the X because I am the one that's 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:27.040 responsive to what you are saying, I'm not afraid to respond. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.560 Just for those that are not familiar with the back 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:32.520 and forth here, we did do a deal. 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.000 There was a. 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.840 Claim trade that was made months ago where we and 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:42.280 this accepted terms were signed Patrick. We got Patrick mahomes 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:48.720 large Babe Ruth all right, like, we feel like that 0:14:48.760 --> 0:14:52.040 benefits both teams looking forward. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.600 One is current and one is long gone. That that's 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:58.800 that's super fair, super fair. But I took it. 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.720 I want I want the Babe. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.760 Y'all see his list. Give us sets for I want 0:15:05.800 --> 0:15:12.040 the Babe.

Ut oh, better get Maco. 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.680 Coming up next here though, on The Dan Patrick Show 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:29.280 with LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn and Jonas Knox filling in 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:30.960 for DP and the guys, we're going to tell you 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:34.240 about some changes, some changes to the playoffs that you 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.920 can expect moving forward. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:37.640 That'll be yours here on FSR. 0:15:38.440 --> 0:15:40.600 Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.280 Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific 0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.560 on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.280 It's the Dan Patrick Show, Fox Sports Radio. 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.280 LaVar Arrington, Brady Quinn, Jonas Knox in for Dan and 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.600 the guys. Coming up here in about twenty minutes from 0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:01.040 now here on Fox Sports Radio. Apparently there's an NFL 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.920 team that's making an interesting move, interesting move money involved. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.880 We will get into that for you again twenty minutes 0:16:06.880 --> 0:16:10.800 from now here on Fox Sports Radio. So here we go. 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:14.840 The College Football Playoff, which featured. 0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:16.240 A matchup I don't know if you guys knew this 0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:19.360 or not between Penn State and Notre Dame. The College 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:24.200 Football Playoff could be getting very clear yesterday the SEC 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.520 as a weapon. Yesterday, SEC Commissioner Greg Sankee Big Ten 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:32.440 commission Tony Pettiti agreed that there should be a change 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.080 to the way the twelve team College Football Playoff teams 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.760 are seated, and the change should come this upcoming season. 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:41.160 So for everybody out there that was bitching and. 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.400 Moaning about you know, automatic qualifiers going to conference champions, 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:48.440 whether it be you know, Arizona State getting a bye 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:52.320 or the bye going to Boise State, don't worry. 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:54.360 They've stepped up. But it looks like we could see 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:55.960 a change coming up here pretty much. And what does 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:56.760 that change? 0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:59.680 What is that rep Well, the change I think is 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.160 going to be more in regards to the seating of 0:17:02.200 --> 0:17:04.159 how they go about doing it, which I think most 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.960 would agree. If the top four teams the way they're ranked, 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:14.240 however that falls out, those teams ultimately should be able 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:16.800 to get to buy. And I think as far as 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.040 how the rankings are awarded, it was a little bit 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.560 confusing for some out there because they didn't really understand 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:25.119 how the automatic qualifiers worked for the conference champions. And 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:26.879 then when you had a team that was not within 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:31.520 the autonomous for power for call what you will in 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.199 Boise State, who gets a buy people were scratching their 0:17:34.200 --> 0:17:36.080 head going, wait a second, I didn't think that was possible. 0:17:37.240 --> 0:17:41.440 Or for example, the ACC champion Clemson, who was outside 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.720 of the top twelve in the rankings, they still obviously 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.000 get an automatic bid into the playoff, and so people 0:17:47.040 --> 0:17:49.880 are like, that doesn't make any sense. So I think 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.480 what you're going to see as a change in the 0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.520 seating as far as how the teams one through twelve 0:17:55.119 --> 0:17:57.600 are going to be seeded once they get to the playoff. 0:17:58.080 --> 0:17:59.679 Now it could and by the way, it could be 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:01.560 one through fourteen. It could be one through sixteen at 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:03.560 this point, which if it's sixteen, we don't have to 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.040 worry about buys, or we shouldn't. We should make them 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.760 all play. I would say this though, was my biggest 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:12.679 concern about where we are at with the college football 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:18.240 playoff as it currently exists. If you start creating automatic qualifiers, 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.520 what bothers me is this is not the NFL. And 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.320 when I say that, I mean we understand that winning 0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:29.320 your division is paramount, all right. A division is comprised 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.440 of four teams. Well, look at the how some of 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.200 these super conferences are constructed. I mean you have Big 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.199 Ten with what eighteen teams? You know, maybe it stops there, 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.639 maybe it keeps growing the SEC et cetera, Big twelve 0:18:42.720 --> 0:18:46.919 acc And what we saw in year one was the 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.840 difference sometimes in scheduling where a team like Indiana could 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:54.600 potentially not have to really play anyone difficult outside of 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.760 Ohio State. I guess you could throw Michigan in there, 0:18:56.920 --> 0:18:58.480 even though it was a down year for Michigan, and 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.479 they beat them, They got them at home. So credit 0:19:01.520 --> 0:19:04.760 to coach Signettia and crew, But that wasn't the best 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:08.720 Michigan team we've seen, right, Clearly the top teams were Oregon, 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:13.359 Ohio State, Penn State as far as that goes, and 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.680 then Indiana you'd probably say it was somewhere after that. 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.400 So the general point is that if you start creating 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:24.000 automatic qualifiers for the Big Ten and the SEC and 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:26.640 really any of the conference for that matter, it takes 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:30.000 away from the games. You're like, everyone knows the ending 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.760 to the story, so it takes away from the intrigue 0:19:32.760 --> 0:19:35.600 of the regular season. Like, to me, that's one of 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:38.760 the greatest things about sports is the fact that your 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.440 regular season has to matter. And if you're now basically 0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:44.280 saying that, well, the top four teams from the Big 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:45.840 Ten will get in, the top four from the SEC 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.920 will get in, it'say, well, okay, I mean, how really 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.000 hard is your schedule going to be? You know, as 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.560 far as your non conference Do you need to schedule 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:54.439 anyone tough anymore? 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:54.640 Then? 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:56.959 Or is it just about how you finished within your 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:59.720 conference and how that that works out, how those tie 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:04.480 breaking scenarios workout. So if they don't figure out a 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:08.160 way for the final weekend, because ultimately what's being sacrificed 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:12.040 is the conference championships. They're basically no one void because 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:15.479 if there's an automatic qualifier, you'd almost rather not play 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.359 as long as this season is. You'd almost rather be 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.360 able to get a break, get extra rest, and if 0:20:21.400 --> 0:20:24.280 you're Ohio State, for example, be able to prepare for 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.280 that home first round match of versus Tennessee and then 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.440 go on the rest of the way on a warpath 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:33.840 to win a national championship. So I sit there and 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.119 just say, we got to be careful because if some 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.399 of the powers that be aren't and they get a 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:41.120 little too greedy, and I keep talking to you guys 0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:43.280 about how well you can do the math on this too. 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:45.280 Think about this. If you get four guarantee teams in 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.959 for each one of those conferences every year, you're guaranteeing 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.560
