WEBVTT - Hour 1 -  Pat Forde (07-13-20)

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. Good to be back. Boys are here, ready

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>to go. Nice little break, well deserved, but ready to go.

0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure where we're going, but we're going a

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:20.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of things to talk about today, some of the

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>things that happened while we were on break. I want

0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:25.959
<v Speaker 1>to thank those who filled in while we were gone.

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for your contributions. It's a Monday, best and

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 1>worst of the weekend, as we always do. What you

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>saw that you liked, you didn't like, your opportunity to

0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>be part of the program, and a variety of ways.

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 1>We say good morning to those who are watching on

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>YouTube dot com, Slash, The Dan Patrick Show, course chat row,

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and those listening on our great radio affiliates number three

0:00:44.840 --> 0:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty two around the country. After all these years,

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Redskins will finally change their name. It is

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.720
<v Speaker 1>supposed to happen at some point today. Public pressure and

0:00:54.760 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 1>strong columns from the media had little impact on owner

0:00:58.560 --> 0:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Snyder throughout the year. I mean he has been

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>steadfast in not changing the name. But now financial pressure

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>and that's always the game changer that took just days

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to sway him. When FedEx says that we're going to

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>stop sponsoring the stadium, name A threatened to pull out,

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Snyder gave in, and now they're reportedly picking that new name.

0:01:19.440 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>And there are those that are going to argue about

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>tradition and growing up with that team name. And there's

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.280
<v Speaker 1>no doubt that Redskins is hurtful to some people. So

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 1>what's the point. Team names aren't sacred. Sometimes they're cool,

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 1>sometimes they're silly. To quote a movie you might remember

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that I was in basketball. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles where there are no lakes, and the New

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Jazz moved to Salt Lake City where there's no jazz.

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington fans are going to survive, though, You'll move on

0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>get a new nickname. You know what would really help

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the Redskins. How about you'll win some games there that

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>would help. That would make people happy. We did check

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>in with the league because I wanted to know what

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>role owners play in approving a nickname or the commissioner.

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>This is what I got from the league office today.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.519
<v Speaker 1>The owners won't be voting on this. The league works

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 1>with a club on the legal and creative design processes

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and we have this on a reliable source of what

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:20.600
<v Speaker 1>is going on right now. There's mockups with a variety

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>of possible nicknames for the Redskins. So you have all

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:28.440
<v Speaker 1>the marketing people with Washington and digital people and they're

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:31.840
<v Speaker 1>doing mockups right now of what something is going to

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>look like. And this isn't something you do overnight. This

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>is something that usually takes months and months to be

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>able to actually roll this out. But you're going to

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>be presented with a variety of names, and you've seen

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>some of the names leak out. Somebody even had the

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>silly suggestion of the Washington Generals, which you know that's

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 1>the standard bearer for an aptitude. Maybe it's appropriate that

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the Redskins go to the generals. But then are we

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 1>going to then go, well, wait, what generals are we

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about? Here? You're gonna go down this rabbit hole.

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>They're talking about Washington Warriors. Okay, some people are gonna

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>have problems with that. Remember Marquette was the Marquette Warriors.

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>They got rid of that, So is the name okay

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.679
<v Speaker 1>or not? Okay? And then Golden State they're the Warriors.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>But if Washington as the Warriors, But then people have

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a problem with the Warriors, then does Golden State have

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to change their name because they were the Philadelphia So

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>this is where we're headed, and we're gonna get a

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>new name. I think Red Tails might be the favorite

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>right now in Vegas. Of the Washington Presidents, the Washington Lincoln's,

0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington Veterans, Washington Capitals, Washington Americans, Washington Memorials, Washington Monuments.

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>These are some of the names in Vegas right now.

0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>But I think the Red Tails, which is a tip

0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of the cap to the Tuskegee Airman, and I think

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>they're the favorites. Then the Generals. I don't get Generals

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 1>if I'm a Redskins fan and I got to change

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>my name. So now we're the laughing stock of you know, losers.

0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, the Generals were the team that played the

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Harlem Globe, Dritters, red clots, like you're the Generals, similar

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>win loss records. Yeah, and then the Presidents, the Lincolns,

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>the veterans. But it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen today,

0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>at least that's what some of the news stories it's

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>being worked on right now. Here's this statement from the

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Washington Redskins football team. This is two minutes ago. On

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>July third, we announced the commencement of a thorough review

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>of the team's name. The review has begun in earnest

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>As part of this process, we want to keep our sponsors,

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>fan in community apprized of our thinking as we go forward.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Today we are announcing we're retiring the Redskins name and

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:12.279
<v Speaker 1>logo upon completion of this review. Dan Snyder coach Ron

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Rivera working closely to develop a new name and design

0:05:15.720 --> 0:05:18.800
<v Speaker 1>approach that will enhance the standing of our proud, tradition,

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>rich franchise and inspire our sponsors. Sponsors goes first before

0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 1>fans in community. Here you notice that inspire our sponsors,

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>fans in community for the next one hundred years. I

0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 1>have to applaud the owner. He's honest. This is all

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 1>about the sponsors here. And look, Daniel Snyder's a businessman. Yeah,

0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he did something right to make this money to be

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.599
<v Speaker 1>able to buy this team. He's going to make more

0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>money with a new logo. That's why I kept saying.

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 1>He can act like he's going kicking and screaming like

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>this is never going to happen. This will never and

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you can put that in large utters bold letter never

0:06:01.240 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen. Okay, now he's getting pressure, and now he

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.000
<v Speaker 1>can act like, hey, I don't want to do this,

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to have to do this. And now

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you bring in all this new merchandise. To me, it's

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a win win. I brought this back to the commissioner,

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Roger Goodell, that I do think he's starting to look

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>at his legacy other than hey, I made these guys

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a ton of money. You look at Colin Kaepernick. He's

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 1>been at the forefront here trying to get him back

0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:33.320
<v Speaker 1>into the league. Now under your watch, Washington changing its

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>nickname here. So I think that has a little bit

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 1>to do with this as well. But you look at

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line, when the sponsors start to bail, that's

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 1>when things happen. And that's what happened here. Daniel Snyder

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>did not have an epiphany. He's not woke. He didn't go,

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.359
<v Speaker 1>you know what, I'm looking around, Maybe it's time I

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 1>changed this nickname. That wasn't going to happen. You know,

0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:00.720
<v Speaker 1>I find out what these owners, they're loyal to money,

0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>that's it. Among the NFL's current franchises, only six times

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 1>has any of them changed their nickname, and only one

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>time has it happened in the half century since the merger,

0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>and that was the result of a franchise move. So

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>since the end of World War Two, the only time

0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a team changed its name without a franchise move was

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty three when the Titans the Jets changed their

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:37.280
<v Speaker 1>name from the Titans to the Jets. Now you had

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the Tennessee Oilers, they changed their name to the Titans.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>They kept the Oilers for the first two years after

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the move from Houston to Nashville. But that's really all

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we've had. Yeah, pay, Why would the New York team

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>change from Titans to the Jets? Titans is a great name.

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:57.120
<v Speaker 1>Was that a sponsorship deal? I'm being serious? Would I

0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>have no idea that they got an airline sponsor? I

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I don't know why they went from Titans

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>to Jets. Titans is a cool name for end New

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>York team, it sounds like, but is it a cool

0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>nickname for Nashville with Tennessee Titans? Like I've never heard

0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you say, boy, the Titans a cool name for Tennessee.

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:19.760
<v Speaker 1>But I like antiliteration, you know, I like Nashville is

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a city. Yeah, the Titans is not not good, the worst,

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>but the Bullets, the Washington Bullets change their name to

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the Washington Wizards. It's got to be the worst nickname

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:32.160
<v Speaker 1>in sports. Like, Oh, let's get it fired up to

0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>go see the Wizards. I mean, come on, yeah, but

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:40.199
<v Speaker 1>they they were they preceded all of the wizard wizardry

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>that you love. Oh, Harry Potter, Yeah, you're right, You're right.

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>Why there is something about Washington franchises that inspire boredom.

0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>I can't put my favor I mean, well, their teams,

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>the Caps are good. I mean they want a Stanley Cup, right,

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:56.840
<v Speaker 1>but they're just never going to be as high profile

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>as like the Red Wings or and like the Nationals

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:01.079
<v Speaker 1>are that this was one of the World Series, and

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the average National fan care. I mean,

0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>and this goes back to and I've been saying this

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>for years, that I got it on you know, from

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:12.400
<v Speaker 1>a good source in the league office, that Daniel Snyder

0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to move back into Washington, d c. Which is

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>where the Redskins used to be at RFK, and he

0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:22.240
<v Speaker 1>was told, if you are thinking about doing that, you

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>must change the name that was it. There was That

0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>was before anything was going to be broached any possible

0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, deal to move back into Washington, DC. You

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>had to change the nickname. And here he is talking

0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:43.440
<v Speaker 1>about moving back into Washington, d C. Maybe you reclaim RFK,

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you refurbish that or build a new stadium. But I'd

0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.240
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on that as well. Yes, Paul, back

0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:54.760
<v Speaker 1>in the over fifty years ago, maybe fifty five years ago,

0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:59.000
<v Speaker 1>club president Sonny, Yeah, change the name of the New

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>York Titans to New y Jets because the new home

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>field was gonna be between Idlewild Airport and the Guardia Airport.

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>That was one of the key decisions and why they

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.559
<v Speaker 1>changed it out. Okay, I can't find any more reasoning. Okay.

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 1>we got poll question. I'm guessing McLevin. Yeah, we're gonna

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>pick the Washington name. We're gonna use the top six

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Vegas odds, and they are the red tails, as you mentioned,

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:40.480
<v Speaker 1>the generals, the presidents, the Lincolns, the veterans, and the capitals.

0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 1>But you're right there already is the capitals, well that,

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:47.200
<v Speaker 1>but they spell it differently. Yeah, oh you did, yeah, okay,

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 1>yeah right yeah. And then ConA after that you have

0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the Americans. That's a tough one, the Washington Americans. And

0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're good on monuments and memorials right now,

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's probably not good. Um, Washington, Kings, Washington, Roosevelts, RedHawks,

0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the Jefferson's, the Renegades, Arlington's, how about the Filibusters. It

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:16.160
<v Speaker 1>sounds sound like a tough guys. Snowflakes is five hundred

0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:19.680
<v Speaker 1>to one, in case you're wondering Trump, Trump's is five

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.800
<v Speaker 1>hundred to one. I think if there's one thing that

0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.480
<v Speaker 1>we've learned, don't name it after a person, don't name

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it after a group of people. Let's scratch those right off. Yeah. Well,

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.559
<v Speaker 1>I was watching the show on Disney Plus the other day,

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and Kings is inappropriate because the entire point of the

0:11:35.440 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>American Revolution led by Alexander Hamilton to take down this

0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>is such a disappointment that we're not leading with Alexander

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton come in out of Disney. Plus I gave Seaton

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and an assignment for his vacat one thing. I just

0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>asked for one thing. I said, why don't you watch Hamilton?

0:11:57.200 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I just didn't have any time. So I came into

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Today and I go so and see goes so, and

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I go, did you watch it? Goes? I just didn't

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:07.200
<v Speaker 1>have time. You know. Every time that I fired up

0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Apple TV and it was right there staring me in

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 1>the face. I was like, oh, yeah, next time, I

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>want to go watch these thirty seven other shows. The

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>red Tails. Yeah, the Generals. To me, that's gonna provide

0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 1>a problem there because people are gonna go those union generals,

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the presidents. Lincoln's no veterans. How about vets, Washington vets.

0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Now then people think it's veterinarians, and yes, boy, I

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta cup more. How about the lame ducks, the Washington

0:12:36.080 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>lame ducks in a nice logo, play the kids, the muckrakers,

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a tough team that's down the mud

0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>political terms. How about hogs, Yeah yeah, but then we

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>slaughter holl I mean, you know who knows where we're

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.440
<v Speaker 1>going with any of this stuff. Yeah, there is a

0:12:51.440 --> 0:12:54.160
<v Speaker 1>big movement mount around red wolves, a serious one that

0:12:54.320 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>isn't on the Vegas odds. I didn't see that. Fred Smooth,

0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess, is leading a movement, and Dwayne Haskins likes

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:01.640
<v Speaker 1>it and having Ran likes it. Which a red wolf?

0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea. It's an awesome logo though, but

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure if there is such a thing as

0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 1>a red wolf. That could be cool. I'd like to

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>know what a red wolf is, Yeah, like, is it

0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>a genius or the species? I don't know if there

0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.800
<v Speaker 1>is such an animal. All Right, so that's the poll question.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>We're giving people an opportunity. Yeah, we'll start with that

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>for our one, all right, eight seven seven three d

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Wh you saw that you liked you didn't like. I

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.080
<v Speaker 1>know I'm the bear of bad news. I'm Danny Downer,

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and I guess I'm going to continue to be Danny Downer.

0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I really think that the start of the college football

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 1>and NFL season are in serious jeopardy. I mean, college

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>football is already making alternative plans. And I go back

0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>to a conversation I had with the PAC twelve commissioner

0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.440
<v Speaker 1>that was back in May. This is May twelve, when

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I had Larry Scott, the PAC twe twelve commissioner, on

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and I broached the topic of and I have this

0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>on great authority, great source on it said that the

0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>PAC twelve was in trouble. There would be if they

0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 1>play only conference game. So I'm telling the commissioner this,

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.120
<v Speaker 1>and this is how that conversation went. What I was

0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:21.080
<v Speaker 1>told a couple of weeks ago by a source was

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 1>that you were going to see football when it does

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>come back, that the conferences are just going to be

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 1>playing conference games and it was probably going to be

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a ten game schedule. Now you might get one outlier

0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:35.800
<v Speaker 1>where Ohio State plays Ohio University or something that's regional there.

0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>How does that jibe with what you've been told? Well,

0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you anyone that's telling you now sitting

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>here in the middle of May what it's going to

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 1>be in there giving you the inside scoop isn't a

0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>very good source. Because I'm the one having the conversations

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>with our peer conferences and our presence and We don't know,

0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>but has that been discussed. Just what I told you absolutely,

0:14:56.440 --> 0:14:59.800
<v Speaker 1>that's you know, if we can't play a full season

0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 1>um and get the full twelve weeks plus the postseason,

0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that would be a natural abbreviated season. Ok, you can

0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.960
<v Speaker 1>move the conference only for us that would be nine games.

0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.280
<v Speaker 1>And yes, as you know, as I mentioned, we got

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>multiple scenarios. That's not what we're planning on, but that's

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.360
<v Speaker 1>always an option that would that would be the easiest

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 1>default option. Right, that's what you know schools can control.

0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>And frankly that's the priority on our schools like playing

0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>each other. But you know, at the moment, we're playing

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 1>on the full season. Right. Once again, my source was

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.560
<v Speaker 1>correct on this back in May. Now, I know a

0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of things have happened transpired, but this is what

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>was being discussed. And they realized that they were not

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to have non conference games, and uh,

0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>you know with the commissioner, and I think he has

0:15:45.240 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the coronavirus. So I hope that the commissioners is doing better.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, I had a great source on this telling

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:55.240
<v Speaker 1>me that this is what's happening. And plus understand this

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the NCAA doesn't have any jurisdiction. These are all the conference,

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>And as Polly likes to say, it's like the five

0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Mafia families in New York. There's no one in charge.

0:16:06.960 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>They're kind of in charge of their own area, their

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>own neighborhoods, and there's no boss of the bosses. And

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.440
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have going on with college football. Pat

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Forty is going to join us, and I do think

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 1>there'll be other leagues that are going to follow suit

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:29.160
<v Speaker 1>with the IVY League and maybe go spring. And remember

0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>where you had Philip former the athletic director Tennessee. We're

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a hundred thousand fans in there, and I said,

0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 1>I'll take the under. I don't. I just don't see

0:16:38.080 --> 0:16:41.160
<v Speaker 1>any of this happening. I just don't. I think it's

0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>problematic and trying to get kids go on campus, and

0:16:47.520 --> 0:16:51.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just I think there's so many different potholes here

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and I just don't think that they can overcome it.

0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Just sheer numbers here. But I'll talk to Pat Forty

0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 1>about this, you know, and I looking at Rutgers. You know,

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:06.760
<v Speaker 1>Rutgers has non conference games that are two in New Jersey,

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you have a game against Temple in Pennsylvania.

0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>They're traveling to Nebraska. But you can't have two games

0:17:15.560 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>in your own state and then go to Pennsylvania to

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.919
<v Speaker 1>play Temple Like it's it just doesn't make any sense.

0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.680
<v Speaker 1>And even with the bubble man, that's as close as

0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:30.199
<v Speaker 1>we're going to get to being hermetically sealed to be

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:33.359
<v Speaker 1>able to pull off the end of a season. Yeah. See,

0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:35.560
<v Speaker 1>but is it the part I completely agree with you

0:17:35.560 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>about the Rutgers schedule. That is ridiculous. You can't play

0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:40.720
<v Speaker 1>games in your own state or neighboring state. But does

0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>that say more about like the plan is ridiculous or

0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:49.159
<v Speaker 1>that the conferences are ridiculous? The conferences are the problem.

0:17:49.160 --> 0:17:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they really make no sense. No, it doesn't. Hey,

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>you can't stay in state and play somebody, but come

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>on out to Link in Nebraska. Okay, Dan, you're sleeping

0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 1>the tradition of the Nebraska Rutgers game and I'm not

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:04.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna handle that on my watch. Hold on, buddy, I know,

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I know, all right, Let'll talk to Pat forty phone

0:18:07.280 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>calls are welcome. Eight seven seven three D P show.

0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.919
<v Speaker 1>We just got this from PAC twelve. Larry Scott is

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>doing well once to rest up to make a speedy recovery.

0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.640
<v Speaker 1>So maybe scheduling meetings for this week. I hope you understand.

0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>So that's from the PAC twelve PR department. Yeah, I

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:29.160
<v Speaker 1>knew that Larry was not doing well or not feeling well,

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>so probably didn't appreciate me bringing that comment back from May,

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.560
<v Speaker 1>but just being a journalist commissioner. We'll get him on later.

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll apologize. I want to talk to him later. All right,

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll take a break, we'll get to your phone calls.

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll settle on our poll question here, we'll keep an

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:48.560
<v Speaker 1>eye on what's going on with Washington with the name change.

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Pat forty will join us. Coming up next. It's twenty

0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Because cybersecurity researchers are warning that cyber criminals are sending

0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:08.400
<v Speaker 1>emails that include Black Lives Matter in the subject line

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:12.040
<v Speaker 1>in an effort to install malware on victims computers. They're

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.920
<v Speaker 1>doing anything they possibly can to get into your computer,

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:22.760

<v Speaker 1>All right, mclovin, we got our poll question. Yeah, so

0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna in the first hour, we're gonna name the redskins,

0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and your choices are as follows. The redtails, the generals,

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the President's, Lincoln's veterans are capitals with an Oh, you

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>can't do whips, right, that's a political term, the whip,

0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Washington whips. It sounds like, you know, fast m but

0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:04.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what's gonna happen. This hasn't even been factored

0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>in that. Let's say you have a name and then

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 1>people are gonna go, what a lame nickname? It won't

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:14.919
<v Speaker 1>have any political repercussions or there won't be any you know,

0:21:15.080 --> 0:21:19.240
<v Speaker 1>political correctness with this. Yet you want something that's gonna

0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:23.600
<v Speaker 1>be bland and benign. Maybe that that's what they're hoping for, Like,

0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:26.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't want to upset anybody. And I'm waiting. If

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.439
<v Speaker 1>they do warriors, then what's Golden State do If they go, oh,

0:21:29.480 --> 0:21:32.040
<v Speaker 1>we had to pass on warriors. We can't have we

0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:34.800
<v Speaker 1>don't want to upset anybody. Yes, mclow, you know, but

0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:36.920
<v Speaker 1>there's so many lame names. Like I was like the

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.600
<v Speaker 1>names the Cardinals, like why there's nothing tough about cardinals,

0:21:40.680 --> 0:21:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I know? Or like they's just random things. The Bills,

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Reds, your Reds? Who are the Bill's name?

0:21:47.160 --> 0:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>They named after Buffalo Bill? I would imagine, I don't

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>even know. And the Cleveland Browns were after Paul Brown. Yeah, boy,

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:00.760
<v Speaker 1>imagine if Paul Brown's last name were like us, would

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:04.160
<v Speaker 1>he have gone? Would he go to Cleveland? Lip shits?

0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.679
<v Speaker 1>This is? This is, this is I don't know. Did

0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:11.440
<v Speaker 1>you just get lucky that black? He is lucky? Yeah? Yeah? Uh?

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.679
<v Speaker 1>Pat forty Sports Illustrated Senior writer, as we somehow make

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the smooth segue in here. Good morning, Pat, How are you?

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm good? I vote for Washington Monuments. Well yeah, but

0:22:22.480 --> 0:22:25.159
<v Speaker 1>we've been tearing down monuments, haven't we? And you know

0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:28.440
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah yeah, I know it would actually make for

0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>an ugly helmet too. It just the Washington Monument the side.

0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:37.520
<v Speaker 1>How was your week? By the way, Uh? Insane? Really

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect it, but that's kind of how this

0:22:39.880 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>whole thing has gone it's been. It was really busy

0:22:42.080 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to keep up with what the Big Ten was doing,

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.040
<v Speaker 1>the Pac twelve was doing, the IVY League was doing. Uh,

0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, things are happenings, and it seems like the

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:55.240
<v Speaker 1>pace of the deconstruction the season is accelerating. Did the

0:22:55.280 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 1>IVY League wag the wag the dog here? Maybe? You know,

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:03.440
<v Speaker 1>it's a little different. They certainly did last March in basketball.

0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:07.159
<v Speaker 1>Football is a little different because football is such a

0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>bigger revenue generator for the Power Five and really the

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.879
<v Speaker 1>all of FBS versus where the Ivy League plays it.

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:18.879
<v Speaker 1>But they set a tone of we're pulling back, and

0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:21.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you saw that some other conferences were quick

0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to follow that. Obviously the Big Ten, which a lot

0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of other conferences, were surprised and a little bit annoyed

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>that they went that quickly and basically unilaterally that way.

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And then the Pac twelve goes to conference only, and

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:37.159
<v Speaker 1>I think the other Power five conferences probably will eventually

0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>follow by the end of the month. All Right, explain

0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 1>this to me, because you're a lunch smarter about this

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.240
<v Speaker 1>than I am. Rutgers has out of conference games, two

0:23:45.400 --> 0:23:48.959
<v Speaker 1>in New Jersey and one in Pennsylvania against Temple, but

0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.640
<v Speaker 1>they're going to get rid of those and let them

0:23:51.800 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 1>fly across country to Nebraska. So explain that to me.

0:23:55.760 --> 0:24:00.199
<v Speaker 1>Here the logic of the Big Ten, Well, there's the

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:02.320
<v Speaker 1>big logical hole in this. Now. What the Big Ten

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:07.160
<v Speaker 1>will say is the biggest reason they went to this conference.

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The only thing is that they can control the whole

0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:13.480
<v Speaker 1>schedule and basically space out nine or ten games across

0:24:13.560 --> 0:24:16.720
<v Speaker 1>thirteen weeks because they feel like there's it's inevitable that

0:24:16.760 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 1>there's going to be some weeks when you're going to

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.439
<v Speaker 1>have X number of positive cases of the virus and

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:25.240
<v Speaker 1>not be able to play, and if it's with a

0:24:25.320 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 1>league opponent, they're like, oh, okay, we can just shift

0:24:27.600 --> 0:24:30.840
<v Speaker 1>that around and make this work. And I think that

0:24:30.880 --> 0:24:33.200
<v Speaker 1>they just feel like that's it's a lot more easy

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to maneuver across the course of a schedule when you

0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:39.520
<v Speaker 1>take some weeks out of it and add some open

0:24:39.600 --> 0:24:43.040
<v Speaker 1>dates there. The other thing, too, Dan, is that at

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>least all the Big Ten teams can say we're testing

0:24:46.280 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the same way, We've got the same protocols. We're all

0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.280
<v Speaker 1>going to decide on Thursday, Hey, is your team well

0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:54.919
<v Speaker 1>enough to go play? On Saturday, you know, as opposed

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to when you're playing Monmouth or Temple. You can't necessarily

0:24:58.080 --> 0:25:00.600
<v Speaker 1>say they're doing things the same way. I didn't know

0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 1>if it was another way of delaying this season. If

0:25:03.840 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>we took out those non conference games that you start

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the season with, that you can buy yourself a little

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>bit of time. And I don't know if that's part

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.119
<v Speaker 1>of this as well, that maybe you start to leak

0:25:14.160 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>into October more than playing games in September. Could be

0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 1>could be And we'll find out because the Big Ten

0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.920
<v Speaker 1>had does have some early conference games schedules, so we'll see.

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I think they're hoping to try to hammer out something

0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.359
<v Speaker 1>of a schedule here by the end of this week.

0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.520
<v Speaker 1>That maybe too soon, but we may start hearing some

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:33.840
<v Speaker 1>word whether that is the plan, whether just to push

0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 1>everything back to October first. I think they'd probably rather

0:25:36.880 --> 0:25:40.400
<v Speaker 1>go by mid September at least, and like I said,

0:25:40.480 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>use some of those weeks for cushion in case they

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:47.720
<v Speaker 1>have cancelations or postponements during the season. How optimistic are

0:25:47.720 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you right now that we have Power five conference football games?

0:25:53.200 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Not very, not very I mean, it's been nothing but

0:25:57.480 --> 0:26:01.919
<v Speaker 1>dwindling confidence throughout July. It's funny the ebbs and flows

0:26:01.960 --> 0:26:04.719
<v Speaker 1>of this thing, as we've talked about before, where you know,

0:26:04.800 --> 0:26:07.919
<v Speaker 1>late May, halfway into June, people are really bullish and

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:10.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna play, and we're gonna have at least fifty

0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.520
<v Speaker 1>percent filled capacity stands, maybe even one hundred percent. And

0:26:13.560 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>then a month later now we're like, boy, I don't

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:18.399
<v Speaker 1>know whether we're gonna play. You know, there's more and

0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>more people looking at the spring I think as a possibility,

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.400
<v Speaker 1>although that has its own problems. I mean, we could

0:26:24.440 --> 0:26:27.240
<v Speaker 1>lose so many of the top players then who just

0:26:27.359 --> 0:26:30.880
<v Speaker 1>simply say I'm not going to play. But I'd say

0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I feel less than fifty percent sure that we will

0:26:33.440 --> 0:26:35.840
<v Speaker 1>play football in the fall. I go back to what

0:26:35.960 --> 0:26:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Kirk Herbstreet said. I think that was in March, and

0:26:39.160 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>remember everybody came out of the woodwork and attacked him

0:26:42.040 --> 0:26:45.760
<v Speaker 1>where he said noun paraphrasing that we might not have

0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:49.959
<v Speaker 1>college football. He didn't see it happening. And here we

0:26:50.000 --> 0:26:53.320
<v Speaker 1>are right now, and what Herbie said back in March

0:26:53.920 --> 0:26:57.639
<v Speaker 1>unfortunately may come to fruition. Absolutely. You know, you know this,

0:26:57.800 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, really you can kind of look at this

0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>whole thing has just been the state of denial, and

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:05.040
<v Speaker 1>I've been part of it for Americans probably in general,

0:27:05.040 --> 0:27:07.960
<v Speaker 1>but American sports fans of like every time something's been

0:27:08.000 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 1>taken off the table, like what, really, there's no way, no,

0:27:11.560 --> 0:27:13.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, the IVY League they're not going to play

0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:16.040
<v Speaker 1>by their basketball tournament. That's crazy. Well, I'm sure then

0:27:16.040 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to play an NCAA tournament. And then

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.320
<v Speaker 1>we're not gonna have any spring sports. And then the

0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Olympics get postponed and the Masters and so on and

0:27:22.680 --> 0:27:25.280
<v Speaker 1>so on and so on, and now I mean everybody

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, surely we'll still have football. And I think

0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the people that looked at it, you know, the pretty

0:27:31.400 --> 0:27:33.760
<v Speaker 1>sober eye back in the spring and said we may not,

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>were the ones that were ahead of the game. And

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I also wonder, we're talking to Pat Forty from Sports Illustrated.

0:27:39.720 --> 0:27:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering about these big name players in college football

0:27:43.640 --> 0:27:46.679
<v Speaker 1>that are they going to play this season? Would we

0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:48.480
<v Speaker 1>hold it against them? We you know, we had players

0:27:48.520 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>who sit out a bowl game, but if you're Trevor

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.440
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence or some of these other players, I just wonder

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the risk and the reward of playing a season and

0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.199
<v Speaker 1>do we have players who hopped out of the season

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.480
<v Speaker 1>because they want to get ready for the twenty twenty

0:28:04.480 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>one draft. I think we have dozens of them, possibly

0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 1>even hundreds, who knows, you know. I mean, but I

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>think if you feel pretty secure that you're going to

0:28:11.600 --> 0:28:14.240
<v Speaker 1>be a first or second round draft pick, you're probably

0:28:14.240 --> 0:28:17.240
<v Speaker 1>out other guys you know who are maybe third through

0:28:17.280 --> 0:28:19.320
<v Speaker 1>fifth round picks. You're You're like, Okay, I want to

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 1>try to improve my status still, so maybe I want

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:24.199
<v Speaker 1>to play. But I think there will be some of

0:28:24.200 --> 0:28:26.600
<v Speaker 1>them too, will say it's just not worth getting injured.

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it's gonna be a really, really difficult thing

0:28:30.400 --> 0:28:34.720
<v Speaker 1>if it's a spring season for schools to be able

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.840
<v Speaker 1>to put, you know, anything close to a full, high

0:28:37.840 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 1>powered lineup on the field. If you are at a

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Power five team with a bunch of pro prospects, it's

0:28:42.120 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna it's gonna be a major attrition. What's Notre Dame

0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:48.760
<v Speaker 1>do well, that's a great question. I wrote about that

0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 1>way back in Gosh was in April or May, I

0:28:51.320 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I talked to Jack Swarbrick, then the

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:57.640
<v Speaker 1>athletic director, and he said he that the the ACC

0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:01.280
<v Speaker 1>Alliance basically would help them in it. Has They've got

0:29:01.320 --> 0:29:04.080
<v Speaker 1>six games scheduled with ACC teams, they should play all

0:29:04.120 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 1>of those. John Swafford, the commissioner, has said that Navy

0:29:07.760 --> 0:29:10.120
<v Speaker 1>absolutely wants to play them. That gets them to seven.

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:13.920
<v Speaker 1>Beyond that, we'll see, you know. I would imagine Western

0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Michigan is still out. They're saying, yeah, man, we're scheduled

0:29:16.480 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>in there, please let us play. Let us go to

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame Stateium and play that game for the money

0:29:21.320 --> 0:29:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and the exposure. So maybe that gets you to eight.

0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And after that, I don't know. If it's a spring season,

0:29:27.000 --> 0:29:28.640
<v Speaker 1>you may not get more than eight, maybe eight or

0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>nine games. If I made you the head of the NCAA,

0:29:33.520 --> 0:29:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Mark Emert, and you actually had power, what would you do?

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing, see this is laid bare how little

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:46.120
<v Speaker 1>power they have over anything. But first of all, what

0:29:46.160 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I would do. I would absolutely there would be uniform

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:55.560
<v Speaker 1>testing and eligibility procedures as far as whether when players

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:59.320
<v Speaker 1>could practice, when they could play, when teams could play. Secondly,

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I would have every conference commissioner in the Indianapolis. I mean,

0:30:04.400 --> 0:30:07.760
<v Speaker 1>if the SEC eighties could meet in person today in Birmingham,

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you could have everybody in India and say we need

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>a completely uniform schedule here. We need we don't need

0:30:13.800 --> 0:30:16.959
<v Speaker 1>this conference saying that and this other conference doing something different.

0:30:17.240 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 1>We've got to have some sort of unified schedule here

0:30:21.680 --> 0:30:24.200
<v Speaker 1>that actually is for the good of everyone as opposed

0:30:24.200 --> 0:30:27.680
<v Speaker 1>to every conference being out for themselves. Well, we liken

0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it to the five mob families, the power five, and

0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:35.640
<v Speaker 1>then there's no boss over those five mafia families. That's

0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:39.040
<v Speaker 1>what you have here. It is that's all of a sudden,

0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:41.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, Michael Corley Oller can go settle all family

0:30:41.840 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>business one day without consulting the rest of them. That's mayhem,

0:30:45.560 --> 0:30:47.680
<v Speaker 1>it really is. I mean, we'll see if they actually

0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:52.200
<v Speaker 1>come to some uniform decision, but there's absolutely no unifying

0:30:52.280 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 1>power both here. Great talk to you again, Pat, Thank you,

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:59.000
<v Speaker 1>my pleasure. Dan, thank you. That's Pat Forty covers college

0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 1>sports for Sports Ray. They're a senior writer. Yeah, you

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>just start to look at I'm just being realistic. I

0:31:07.520 --> 0:31:09.800
<v Speaker 1>know I'm supposed to be optimistic and I try to be,

0:31:10.520 --> 0:31:12.600
<v Speaker 1>but I have to be realistic when it comes to

0:31:12.640 --> 0:31:15.960
<v Speaker 1>this of just trying to we're trying to force things

0:31:16.000 --> 0:31:19.240
<v Speaker 1>through and go back to all of the time stamps

0:31:19.280 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that we had with these commissioners. Well, we're going to

0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.560
<v Speaker 1>be back here, We're going to be starting here, we're

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be doing and you see that it's all fluid,

0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's what's happening. And I still think the start

0:31:30.120 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 1>of the college football in the NFL season are fluid

0:31:33.600 --> 0:31:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and I would not be surprised at all. I here's

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:41.440
<v Speaker 1>my surprise that they start on time, that's my surprise.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.080
<v Speaker 1>And if they do great, I just don't I don't

0:31:45.080 --> 0:31:47.400
<v Speaker 1>have confidence that even if we start that we're going

0:31:47.440 --> 0:31:53.239
<v Speaker 1>to finish. I just looking at the numbers, looking at

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the timeline and trying to be able to pull this off.

0:31:58.200 --> 0:32:03.400
<v Speaker 1>And the NBA is going to have issues during this pandemic,

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:09.560
<v Speaker 1>during this bubble tournament. Can they get through that? You

0:32:10.080 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>have players who are getting sick? How many players will

0:32:14.720 --> 0:32:17.760
<v Speaker 1>it take before a team can't really field a team

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 1>or the team that we expect. What if it's Milwaukee

0:32:22.400 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>has you know the Greek freak that goes down, you

0:32:24.560 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 1>don't get a true representation of how great that team is,

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:31.320
<v Speaker 1>or something happens to the Lakers. By the way, Rajen

0:32:31.440 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Rondo is out sixty eight weeks with a thumb injury.

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>So they've got Avery Bradley that they're without. Now you

0:32:38.040 --> 0:32:41.480
<v Speaker 1>have Rajen Rondo, And to me, this is all about depth,

0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>going into the bubble healthy, those who are healthiest, and

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>those who have the most depth are going to be

0:32:49.000 --> 0:32:51.959
<v Speaker 1>playing for a championship. I mean, it's really that simple,

0:32:52.760 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, because LA doesn't have a home court advantage anymore.

0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:01.840
<v Speaker 1>They got JR. Smith. They those two players who contribute

0:33:01.920 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit with Avery Bratton in plus. I don't

0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:06.960
<v Speaker 1>want them during the regular season, Rondo and Avery Bradley,

0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 1>but during the postseason, I really want them. And Rondo

0:33:10.960 --> 0:33:14.440
<v Speaker 1>is a playoff guy, and Avery Bradley gives you that

0:33:14.480 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>experience as well. I mean, those are two losses, big

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.800
<v Speaker 1>losses for the Lakers here, and you know, we got

0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 1>a neutral playing field court and I just think those

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:29.400
<v Speaker 1>who stay the healthiest, those who are the smartest, and

0:33:29.560 --> 0:33:31.840
<v Speaker 1>those who have depth, you're gonna be playing for a

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:34.840
<v Speaker 1>championship here. All right, we'll take a break. We'll get

0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:36.720
<v Speaker 1>to your phone calls coming up, best and worst of

0:33:36.800 --> 0:33:41.400
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. And by the way, Lebron, did you know

0:33:41.400 --> 0:33:44.240
<v Speaker 1>there was a press conference where Lebron said the NBA

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 1>is doing everything they're supposed to. Here's a portion of

0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that conversation. They took all precautionary reasons measures to make

0:33:52.080 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>sure that we as a as a league as as

0:33:54.560 --> 0:33:57.480
<v Speaker 1>safe as we can be. Obviously, you know, in anything

0:33:57.520 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>that you do, there can be things that could happen,

0:33:59.760 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>but we will cross that line if it happens. But

0:34:02.480 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>we're doing everything from a league, from every franchise to

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:09.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure everyone stays safe during COVID during this pandemic.

0:34:09.840 --> 0:34:12.239
<v Speaker 1>But I believe in Adam Silver. He has given me

0:34:12.320 --> 0:34:14.879
<v Speaker 1>no reason to never not believe him since he took over,

0:34:15.200 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 1>and I believe in our franchise that we are doing

0:34:17.800 --> 0:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>everything that we can to stay safe. So I have

0:34:20.520 --> 0:34:24.160
<v Speaker 1>no concerns. Less concerns was you know, started to happen,

0:34:24.200 --> 0:34:26.920
<v Speaker 1>and we can across that bridge if it happens. But

0:34:27.040 --> 0:34:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm here one hundred percent in great health and I'm

0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:32.960
<v Speaker 1>looking forward again back on the floor. This is just

0:34:33.000 --> 0:34:35.160
<v Speaker 1>a little side story, but this will give you an

0:34:35.200 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>idea of they're going to be players who are probably

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:45.360
<v Speaker 1>not going to align themselves with the strict rules in

0:34:45.440 --> 0:34:49.239
<v Speaker 1>guidelines because social media, I think had somebody who was

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:54.080
<v Speaker 1>in the import export business bringing in a girlfriend, and

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:56.879
<v Speaker 1>all of the sudden, guys are trying to figure out, Wait,

0:34:56.960 --> 0:35:00.680
<v Speaker 1>who's who's bringing in a friend? They call that the

0:35:00.680 --> 0:35:02.640
<v Speaker 1>fast past out of the you know what I mean,

0:35:03.880 --> 0:35:08.319
<v Speaker 1>get right through the line import export business. So you're

0:35:08.320 --> 0:35:13.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna have some guys who probably under quarantine who saw

0:35:13.239 --> 0:35:16.399
<v Speaker 1>that coming. No, no one saw that one. You have

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:21.280
<v Speaker 1>workers there who will leave the bubble, leave the property

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:24.440
<v Speaker 1>and go home. And now you're gonna have guys who

0:35:24.520 --> 0:35:28.200
<v Speaker 1>are trying to get a hook up here and bring

0:35:28.280 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 1>somebody in. Can you imagine trying to do that and

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 1>making sure that nobody sees that. Yeah, Tod, do you

0:35:37.520 --> 0:35:40.080
<v Speaker 1>rat that player out and burst their bubble? Well, I

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:42.799
<v Speaker 1>see what you do at that time. You see what

0:36:11.600 --> 0:36:13.880
<v Speaker 1>do much on my vacation. In case you were wondering,

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.959
<v Speaker 1>here's the big thing I did on my vacation. Get

0:36:16.960 --> 0:36:22.080
<v Speaker 1>ready for this. I already told you guys. In fact,

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.319
<v Speaker 1>I told you, and you probably don't realize that that

0:36:24.400 --> 0:36:27.920
<v Speaker 1>was the big event that I had over my vacation. Oh,

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:30.239
<v Speaker 1>you didn't travel, you didn't do home projects. I didn't

0:36:30.239 --> 0:36:32.200
<v Speaker 1>go anywhere. You could give me a million dollars right

0:36:32.200 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 1>now if I got this, or I wouldn't be able

0:36:33.560 --> 0:36:36.480
<v Speaker 1>to guess it. I have no idea what you're referring. Okay,

0:36:36.880 --> 0:36:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go anywhere because I want to stay safe.

0:36:40.640 --> 0:36:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't do anything, and I played nine holes of

0:36:43.480 --> 0:36:45.400
<v Speaker 1>golf with my wife. Now that wasn't the big event.

0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:51.919
<v Speaker 1>The big event was we ordered pizza from so no, no, no,

0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:56.319
<v Speaker 1>hold on, it gets better. Yeah, this is crazy. We

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:59.279
<v Speaker 1>ordered now New Haven Pizza's the best pizza that you'll

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:02.920
<v Speaker 1>find in a mar and Peppies and Sally's they have

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:07.879
<v Speaker 1>modern pizza. There's bar and so we decided that we

0:37:07.880 --> 0:37:12.800
<v Speaker 1>were going to order all of the pizzas from each place,

0:37:13.200 --> 0:37:17.080
<v Speaker 1>and then we were going to have a taste testing competition.

0:37:17.640 --> 0:37:21.719
<v Speaker 1>It was a pizza slam down is what we called it. Yeah,

0:37:21.760 --> 0:37:24.000
<v Speaker 1>and we got all of the pizzas and then we

0:37:24.040 --> 0:37:28.120
<v Speaker 1>had one person who put everybody got a slice of

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>each of these pies and then we rated them and

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:34.960
<v Speaker 1>then we decided who had the best pizza. That was

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>my big event on my vacation. Yeah, yeah, se Uh,

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:43.799
<v Speaker 1>do you want to give away the winner or uh?

0:37:44.280 --> 0:37:46.920
<v Speaker 1>I think I? I think I gave you the winner,

0:37:47.000 --> 0:37:50.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't I? Paul? I think yeah. Before we get to

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:52.919
<v Speaker 1>the winner, how was it? What? There's categories like, yes,

0:37:53.120 --> 0:37:58.719
<v Speaker 1>best overall pie, best crust, like presentation, How did you

0:37:58.840 --> 0:38:01.319
<v Speaker 1>hide the piece to boxes from people? And how not

0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:03.879
<v Speaker 1>to give out the They were in the kitchen. Then

0:38:03.920 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody else went into the dining room and then we

0:38:06.760 --> 0:38:09.120
<v Speaker 1>had somebody who took out the slices and then put

0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:11.839
<v Speaker 1>them everybody on their individual tray. Did the people at

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:13.880
<v Speaker 1>the pizza places know what was going on? You're pretty

0:38:13.880 --> 0:38:15.680
<v Speaker 1>well known guy, you roll in the New I didn't.

0:38:15.719 --> 0:38:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I didn't go anywhere had a proxy. Yeah,

0:38:19.160 --> 0:38:20.839
<v Speaker 1>it's nothing. My daughter, That's why I have kids so

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they can go do things for him general appearance, appearance

0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of the pizza, yeah, crust, yeah, quality of toppings, and

0:38:27.680 --> 0:38:31.520
<v Speaker 1>overall taste, which is the most important, right yeah yeah yeah.

0:38:31.840 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 1>See there's already a lot of scuttle But about you

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 1>claiming that New Haven pizza is the best in the country.

0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:43.480
<v Speaker 1>That immediately set off firestorm. I will give New York pizza,

0:38:44.080 --> 0:38:48.240
<v Speaker 1>and maybe I separate New York pizza because they have more,

0:38:49.120 --> 0:38:52.640
<v Speaker 1>they have more bad pizza. New Haven just has great pizza.

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:57.520
<v Speaker 1>But there are some great pizza in Brooklyn and in Manhattan.

0:38:57.840 --> 0:39:00.600
<v Speaker 1>But if I look at what New Haven off nobody

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>comes close to what New Haven offers for pizza per

0:39:03.280 --> 0:39:06.399
<v Speaker 1>capita per pa. Yeah speak even who says like, oh,

0:39:06.480 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 1>this place has the best geese stakes per capita. I mean,

0:39:09.080 --> 0:39:11.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously the best cheese steaks are in Philadelphia, but if

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:13.520
<v Speaker 1>you go to this small town in New Jersey per capita,

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:16.839
<v Speaker 1>you can't throw it per New Haven has the best

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:20.520
<v Speaker 1>pizza in America. You know that such dy is crazy

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.440
<v Speaker 1>in America. It's not that crazy. You have a statement

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:27.120
<v Speaker 1>when you not when you when we talk about pizza,

0:39:27.360 --> 0:39:29.320
<v Speaker 1>have you guys been in New Haven to eat the pizza?

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:31.680
<v Speaker 1>I have, I've been in frank Pepe's in New Haven

0:39:31.719 --> 0:39:34.319
<v Speaker 1>many times. Okay, I've had that too. It's amazing. Did

0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:37.520
<v Speaker 1>you have Sally's, No, I haven't had. We gonna add

0:39:37.880 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 1>modern modern is Modern is great too. I think your

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:45.040
<v Speaker 1>point about like you can go to Brooklyn. If you

0:39:45.080 --> 0:39:47.320
<v Speaker 1>walk into any pizza place in Brooklyn, get a slice,

0:39:47.360 --> 0:39:49.680
<v Speaker 1>it's a fifty fifty shot where that's really good pizza

0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:52.200
<v Speaker 1>or bland pizza, been sitting out there all day. In

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:54.520
<v Speaker 1>New Haven, you're probably going into a high end pizza

0:39:54.520 --> 0:39:56.600
<v Speaker 1>place if you go into one, right, But the top

0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:59.279
<v Speaker 1>four or five pizza places in the world are like

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.600
<v Speaker 1>like they're either in Italy or Brooklyn or New Haven.

0:40:02.640 --> 0:40:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Trust me. I mean, like, no, if you come from

0:40:05.239 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 1>everywhere to go to Brooklyn pizza. People come into New

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Haven just to eat the pizza. Still like Grimaldi's World.

0:40:15.400 --> 0:40:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Grimaldi's is great. It is uh, Bleeker's Street Pizza is great.

0:40:22.400 --> 0:40:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Like there's John's, There's there's all these kess Day or

0:40:26.320 --> 0:40:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Keys Stay is another one. Like there's so many great

0:40:28.600 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 1>pizza places. I just think New Haven's got the best

0:40:31.760 --> 0:40:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pizza in America. And so my opinion, it was my holiday,

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:39.239
<v Speaker 1>It's my story, Okay, and by the way, I'd never

0:40:39.320 --> 0:40:41.080
<v Speaker 1>go to any of these places of Brooklyn. I'm only

0:40:41.120 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 1>going on random articles I've read it. Yeah, yes, boy,

0:40:45.000 --> 0:40:47.360
<v Speaker 1>it's funny that mclovan's lived in Brooklyn now for you know,

0:40:47.440 --> 0:40:49.600
<v Speaker 1>quite a long time. But Fritzie hasn't lived in Brooklyn

0:40:49.640 --> 0:40:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in about thirty years. But he's defensive about it. And

0:40:51.960 --> 0:40:57.040
<v Speaker 1>his favorite Fritzie likes a chain pizza. Yeah, you like Sparrow, Brooklyn.

0:40:57.280 --> 0:40:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Something about Brooklyn pizza. Actually, because I was born and

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.080
<v Speaker 1>raised in Sabarrow the best. I think you can go

0:41:02.120 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 1>to the worst pizza place in Brooklyn and it's still

0:41:04.800 --> 0:41:08.400
<v Speaker 1>superior to so many parties. Look at the list and

0:41:08.719 --> 0:41:12.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm you know, factually incorrect here,

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:14.840
<v Speaker 1>but look at the best pizza in America in the

0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:19.920
<v Speaker 1>rankings and tell me where New Haven ranks. Sally's, Peppe's

0:41:20.080 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Modern Yes here, Yeah, you'll probably get if you look

0:41:22.840 --> 0:41:25.080
<v Speaker 1>at a top ten, you'll probably get more in New

0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:29.520
<v Speaker 1>York than in New Haven. But the New Haven will

0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:32.719
<v Speaker 1>be there two or three times. I'm gonna guess. Yeah,

0:41:32.760 --> 0:41:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna guess. Three of the top ten are probably

0:41:35.440 --> 0:41:37.959
<v Speaker 1>new Haven Pizza, and New York has fifteen million people

0:41:37.960 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in New Haven has a couple hundred thousand. Yes, Ton,

0:41:41.760 --> 0:41:43.439
<v Speaker 1>That's why I got to put the per capita finger

0:41:45.080 --> 0:41:49.480
<v Speaker 1>the numbers a little bit. So that was my big story. Okay,

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.360
<v Speaker 1>I didn't mean to cause the controversy, but that's my

0:41:52.400 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>big story from my vacation. A lot of carbs, by

0:41:54.640 --> 0:42:00.239
<v Speaker 1>the way. I know, I know. I started where wearing

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:04.840

0:42:04.840 --> 0:42:07.359
<v Speaker 1>and Pauli goes ah looking slim, I thought you look

0:42:07.400 --> 0:42:13.360
