1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Let's bring in Booger McFarlane, the ESPN NFL 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: analyst and part of ESPN's College Football in NFL coverage. Booger, 4 00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: good to see you. How are you. I'm outstanding, deepee. 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: What's going on, buddy, Well, I'm trying to understand your 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: former coach, Tony Dungee's logic. He said that Tom Brady 7 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 1: is the sixth toughest quarterback that he had to face here. Now, 8 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm missing out on something because 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: he is talking about quarterbacks that have mobility, but he 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: includes Peyton Manning in there, and Booger, Peyton Manning doesn't 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,200 Speaker 1: have mobility here. So does Tony really think that Tom 12 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: Brady is the sixth toughest quarterback to defend? Well, I 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: think that's a question that you probably have to ask. 14 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: T TD probably has his reasons for that. You know, 15 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: Tom being in New England for twenty years. You hate 16 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 1: to use the term some quarterback DP, but he understood 17 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: that system so well and he played to it. And 18 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,759 Speaker 1: I guarantee you if you asked Tony playing that system 19 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: over and over, you got used to it. You knew 20 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: what the checks were, you knew where the ball was 21 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 1: gonna go, you knew how Tom Brady was gonna play. 22 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: So maybe that lends to Tony saying, Okay, I don't 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: know if he's that difficult to prepare for because I 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: knew exactly what he's gonna do. The key to it 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: is just can we go out and execute and stop it? Okay? 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: Would you rather face Brady or Manning at their peak? 27 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: While probably probably Tom Brady because Peyton Manning did so 28 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: much at the line of scrimmage, not not that Tom doesn't, 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,399 Speaker 1: but Manning called the game pretty much from the line. 30 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was more conventional, so he was huddled come 31 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: to the line, he made check every now and then, 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: but you were gonna get the game and rhythm. Peyton 33 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: Manning was so much out of rhythm because as a 34 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: defensive lineman he made you get on the ball and 35 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: just stand there and wait while he's on Maha and 36 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: rabbit and n ice cream and all the stuff that 37 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: he's saying, like I gotta get out in the stands 38 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: and wait, okay, like I can't just catch a couple 39 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: of deep breaths, whereas with Brady, when Brady's in the huddle, man, 40 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: I can grab some water, I can tuck my shirt in, 41 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: I can make sure that my buck crack's not shown, 42 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: like I can do all the things that defensive linemen do. 43 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: But what is it about Brady in the final two 44 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: minutes of a game that he's just different than almost 45 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: any quarterback we've ever seen. He's got ice water in 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: his veins. DP and the great Ones look forward to 47 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: the challenge of having that opportunity in the final two minutes. 48 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: You know, some quarterbacks can relish the opportunity. Some can 49 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,399 Speaker 1: perform in the opportunity. It's almost as if Brady says, Okay, 50 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: I'm going to prepare for the rest of the game, 51 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: but my mindset is always pointing to I want the 52 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: ball at my hands under two minutes. We're down four, 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: we need a touchdown. I want that opportunity because the 54 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: great Ones know that in order to become great, you 55 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 1: have to perform in those moments. Like anybody can do 56 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: it in the first quarter when the game is not 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: on the line, but if you want to be considered 58 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: one of the great ones, you have to do it. 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 1: It's kind of like in basketball we look at Lebron, Kobe, 60 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 1: all the great ones differently when they hit the game winners, 61 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: Like you can't be considered a great one until you 62 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: hit it's five four, three two one, and you hit 63 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: the shot, then we can put you in a different 64 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: category where it's no different, damn. And in football, you 65 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: gotta take that team down the field and score in 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: that drive, like you gotta perform in a game seven 67 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: in baseball. It's like our memory doesn't doesn't doesn't put 68 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: you in stone or concrete until you do it in 69 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: those moments. What's the craziest thing you've ever heard of? 70 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: The line of Scrimmagem probably was against Carson Palmer. So 71 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: Carson Palmer was quarterback in the Bengals, and it's a 72 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: Monday night and it's I want to say, it's late December, 73 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: and of course everybody's banged up, and I'm banged up 74 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: and tired, and Carson Palmer comes up and he's going, 75 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: no hudder, and he's checking. He's like, hey, let's go 76 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: of Las Vegas. Check check, no, no, no, no, let's 77 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: go back. Let's go to New York. J Low, New 78 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: York ready. And so he's calling all these audibles and 79 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: about the fourth play to drive it took. It kind 80 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: of dawned on me. Wait, if he's saying a West 81 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: coast city, then he's running to the left. If he's 82 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: saying an East coast city, he's running to the right. 83 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: And so when he says Vegas, it's run left. When 84 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: he says New York, it's run right. And I was like, so, 85 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: all the all this credit that guys like you give 86 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks for all this great and being cerebral, here's 87 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback with the really the most simplistic, audible system 88 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: I've ever heard in my life. Did you tell your 89 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: teammates no? Because I wanted to make every place at 90 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: some point. At some point, you have to be selfish 91 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: because if I make more plays, that means I can 92 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: ask for more money with my contractor now I get it, 93 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. Okay, it's the Jets 94 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: job when it's open, a good job or a great job. 95 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: Now that they don't job Lawrence, it's a good job 96 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: because I think Joe Douglas has gone an outstanding job 97 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: of drafting, and especially in the last draft class, I 98 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 1: think there are a couple of jobs that are better 99 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,159 Speaker 1: if and win and I'm not going to fire anybody, 100 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of speculation that the charge of 101 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: job is going to come open. That may be the 102 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: best job on the market if it does come open, 103 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: because of the quarterback, because of what you have with 104 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: Bosa and Ingram. On defense, you have Keenan Allen Mike Williams, 105 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 1: like you have a team that if the ball bounces 106 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: their way, they could have won four or five more 107 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: games this year. I think the second best job that's 108 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: going to be open, that is open is the Houston 109 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: Texans job because of the quarterback. Now, the only reason 110 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Houston is not first is because of they got so 111 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: much work to do on defense. And you know, when 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: JJ watch your best player on defense, he's a Hall 113 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: of Fame player, three time Defensive Player of the Year, 114 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: but let's face it, he's not what he was. And 115 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: so I think those are the top two jobs. Now, 116 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: if the Jets somehow for niggle and get the number 117 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: one pick, I would I would bump them back up 118 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: because if you got Trevor Lawrence with all the raft 119 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: capital that they have, and Joe Douglas, who seems to 120 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: be a really, really good judge of talent, then that 121 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: job really becomes attractive. I'm gonna make you the Jets 122 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 1: GM right now, and you're on the clock with the 123 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: number two pick overall, what are you doing. I am 124 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: looking at my phone soon as the phone is gonna ring, 125 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: because if the phone rings for somebody who wants a quarterback, 126 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: then I'm gonna deal. I'm gonna keep Sam Donald. I'm 127 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: gonna pick up the fifth year option because Sam Donald 128 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: is not broken. Sam Donald is a very good quarterback, 129 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: and with the right offensive mind, I think Sam Donald 130 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: can be outstanding. Adam Gates has proven us. As a 131 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: matter of fact, Adam Gates told us with his own words, 132 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: he failed Sam Donald. So Sam Donald is not broken. 133 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: I just think the reason people were tying Trevor Lawrence 134 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,559 Speaker 1: to the Jets is because we all think that Trevor 135 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: Lawrence is a generational talent. But I'm keeping Sam Donald. 136 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get a litany of picks, and if 137 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 1: I can't get a litany of picks, then what I 138 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: probably do. I probably take either Jamar Ace or the 139 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: tackle I'm gonna take. When I said to tackle Peenie 140 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: Suit out of Oregon, I'm gonna take somebody that's gonna 141 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: boost my offense to help Sam Donald if I don't 142 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: get a trade partner. At number two, we're talking to 143 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: Booker McFarlane. You can see him on ESPN's college football 144 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: coverage and their NFL coverage as well. You know, you 145 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: start to look at the playoffs scenarios here and we 146 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: might have a team have what eleven wins and not 147 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: make the playoffs here, which is pretty crazy. Uh, if 148 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: you were going to let's look at the AFC, the teams, 149 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 1: the number of teams, let's take out the Chiefs, the 150 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: number of teams that you go they they can win 151 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Buffalo has won Tennessee's to Indianapolis three. Um, 152 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: it sounds crazy not to say Pittsburgh, But how can 153 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 1: you say Pittsburgh the way they've looked the last three weeks? 154 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: And quite frankly, you know, I said this on our 155 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: pregame show a couple of weeks ago. Pittsburgh has has 156 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: a softness problem, like big, very soft, especially on the 157 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: offensive line. And you know, they kind of got in 158 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 1: an open wall when I said that. But then the 159 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: head coach, Mike Tomlin, came out and said there was 160 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: a lack of physicality. Ben Roethlisberger said there was a 161 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: lack of physicality. It's a team that's trying to play 162 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: an offense in which they're not familiar how to play. 163 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 1: It's four or five wide. They're trying to be the 164 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. But they got a quarterback and Ben 165 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger that I mean, let's face it, he's on the 166 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 1: whole sixteen like like he's getting ready to come down 167 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: the sixteenth fairway and it's like, hey, Ben Feller, you 168 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: ain't got a long left. And he knows it and 169 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: everybody knows it. And for them to play and play 170 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: at a high level, they're gonna have to run the football. 171 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: But they can't dan and that's the issue. So you know, 172 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:48,119 Speaker 1: my short list of teams after Kansas City would be obviously, 173 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,079 Speaker 1: you know, the Tennessee Indie Buffalo would probably be the 174 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: three other than Kansas City that I would lean on. Yeah, 175 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: the thing with the Steelers, you know, and then Ben 176 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 1: says he wants to come back. Who's more likely to 177 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: be back with their team? Ben or Philip Rivers more likely? 178 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: And Drew Brees, well, I believe Drew Brees is gonna 179 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: be your colleague and work for NBC, Peacock, whatever you 180 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: want to call it. I think that's where he's going. 181 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: I think Philip wants to go coach high school football. 182 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: That's why he I think he signed a one year deal. 183 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: I think you know, Big Ben's coming back. Man, Big 184 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,959 Speaker 1: Ben's got thirty million dollars that's sitting there that I mean, 185 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: it's kind of free money. Like it's not gonna cut him. 186 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: He's a legend. He can kind of go cherry pick 187 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: kind of like some of the great basketball players do. 188 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: He can average, you know, ten points and three rebounds 189 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 1: and get twenty five million bucks. So I mean, if 190 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,439 Speaker 1: I were him, that's what I do. But if you're 191 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: the Steelers, do you want him back? What's your alternative? Mason, Rudolph, 192 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: Duck Hodges. They're gonna they're gonna get rid of those guys. 193 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: But if you said that you could get Sam Darnold. 194 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I think you ask Ben to retire if you could 195 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: get Sam Donald, because Sam Donald to be your quarterback 196 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 1: for ten years. To me, Dan, here's here's the quarterback. 197 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: Carrol S. Watch this. Now let's just say somehow did 198 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: Jets get the first pick? So now Sam Donald is 199 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,440 Speaker 1: now being traded Let's just say Sam Donald is traded 200 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 1: or he goes to Indy, or maybe maybe Sam Donald 201 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: goes to San Francisco because we know that not necessarily 202 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: sold on Jimmy. Where does Jimmy G go? Does Jimmy 203 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: G go to New England? Okay? You see how one 204 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: pick can change the entire outlook of this league because 205 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: there could be a lot of quarterbacks on the move. 206 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: What if Arthur Blank and the New Coast side we 207 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: want to move away from Matt Ryan. I could see 208 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan going to San Francisco. Then where does Jimmy 209 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: G goes? So I think the quarterback Carrol sale is 210 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 1: going to be really interesting. And we thought last year 211 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 1: was interesting. I think this offseason, with the quarterbacks that 212 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: could be on the move potentially, it's going to be 213 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: way more intriguing than it was last year. You think 214 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: Cam is one and done in New England? Yes, because 215 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 1: I think Cam and New England both had a vested 216 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: interest in this season. They both needed each other and 217 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: they both have failed. Cam Newton needed New England because 218 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: he needed to prove that he could still be a 219 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: high level starting quarterback in the National Football League and 220 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,599 Speaker 1: hopes of getting a huge deal. He has not done that. 221 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: He's still bouncing balls to receivers, overthrowing receivers. His best 222 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: trait is his physicality, and you wonder how long they 223 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 1: can last. New England needed to see can Cam do it? 224 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: Because we have to find the airparent to Tom Brady 225 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniel and Bill Belichick in a private moment, 226 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: would probably tell you that they weren't able to maximize 227 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: and get the best out of camp. Josh can't be 228 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: who Josh wants to be with the guy who's limited 229 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: as a pastor. So I think they both failed each other. 230 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 1: Do you understand Sean Payton's fixation on Taysom Hill. I 231 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: do because I think in Sean Payton's mind, he sees 232 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: what a lot of these offensive coordinates have right now, 233 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 1: a dual threat quarterback that can hurt you with his legs. 234 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: The problem is Tayson hasn't gotten enough reps throwing the football. 235 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: And the only way you get reps is guess what 236 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: you got. You gotta put him in the game. And 237 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: we didn't have a preseason this year, didn't have really 238 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 1: off season and offseason, and so Taysom Hill and needs 239 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: reps to me It's gonna really come down to after 240 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 1: it because I think Drew Brees is going to retire. 241 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: When Drew Brees retires, I think Sean Payton is going 242 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: to name Taysom Hill is starting quarterback. He's gonna get 243 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: an entire offseason, mini camp, training camp, preseason, if we 244 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: do have a preseason, and he's gonna give him every opportunity, 245 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: and if he fails at that point, then he'll move on. 246 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: But I do think he's invested a lot of time 247 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: and effort into making Taysom Hill what his mind says 248 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: Taysom can be, which is the second coming to Steve Young. Well, yeah, 249 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: good luck with that. But that's what he tells. I mean, 250 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: he tells everybody that, right, Yeah, but he's not because 251 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: Steve has wonderful time. Taysom wasn't a great passer in college. 252 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: And it's not like you go, I wasn't very good 253 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: in college as a passer, but I'm going to get 254 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: better in the NFL as a passer. I mean that. Yeah, 255 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: I think Josh had mechanics. I think he had some. 256 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: And plus if you saw the Wyoming roster and you 257 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 1: saw the weather they played in, then I can at 258 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: least go okay, um. You know, a lot of it's 259 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: decision making. A lot of it's that I gotta throw 260 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: a receiver open. In college, I imagine Dwayne Haskins at 261 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Ohio State, right, he didn't have to throw anybody open 262 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: justin fields, you know, like you're it's hard to really 263 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: handicap and go. I don't know how good these guys are. 264 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: And with Josh Allen, he probably is learning to throw 265 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, guys open here. And he's done a great 266 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 1: job this year. And so your point, Dan, Josh Allen 267 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: has gotten better mechanics, weather to play a part, you know, 268 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 1: you bring up justin fields, and I think people are 269 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: going to be shocked when he really get into the 270 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: justin fields tape. How similar he is to Yes, he's 271 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: more athletic than than Dwayne Haskins, way more athletic. However, 272 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: from a passing standpoint, he's going to resemble Haskins a lot. 273 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: The anticipation is just a step slow. His ability to 274 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,000 Speaker 1: throw guys open is a step slow. I think Zach 275 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: Wilson on a BYU maybe the second quarterback taken, and 276 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people will be shocked by 277 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: that because all alone, it's been Trevor or Justin, Trevor, Justin. 278 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: I think when it's all said and done, it's gonna 279 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: be Trevor, probably Zach Wilson, maybe even a mac Jones 280 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: behind that. I don't think Justin Fields is being helped 281 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 1: based on when you look at how Dwayne Haskins is performing, 282 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: come out of that same system. What are what's in 283 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: those cabinets behind you went over this shoulder. I got 284 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: a lot of Apple products in there, so I got 285 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: some extra like some old iPads, iPhones, etc. This cabinet. 286 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: I have extra check books because I'm still old school, 287 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: so I don't do everything by AH or auto pay like. 288 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I still write checks, so I got checks in that cabinet. 289 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: I got some vitamins up there too, because when I'm 290 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: in the office, I forget to take my vitamins are 291 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: up there, So this is kind of a multi purpose cabinet. Yeah, 292 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: we gotta do something in the background. I gotta get 293 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: some You gotta dress it up a little bit. There 294 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: should be a picture of the one NFL touchdown that 295 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: you had. Yes, the problem is I was so out 296 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: of breath. The only picture I have of that touchdown 297 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 1: literally my shirt is pulled up like my guts hanging out. 298 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 1: And I mean seriously because it was in Atlanta. It 299 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: was Sat calls fumble falling the ball in Atlanta against 300 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: Michael Vick, and it was so funny. The only thing 301 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: I thought about was I have to come right back 302 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: on the field because I scored the touchdown. In our 303 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: defense is going back on the field. That's the mind 304 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 1: of a defensive lima. It's not celebrate. It's not doing 305 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: a TikTok on the logo. It's hey, let's go get 306 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: some water and get ready to come back on the field. 307 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: And you're trying to track down Michael Vick exactly, But 308 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: you know we Kyler Murray, I think is quicker than Mike. 309 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: I think Mike might be faster. Kyler Murray has that acceleration. 310 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,120 Speaker 1: He gets to a different gear. I think quicker than 311 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: anybody I've ever seen at that position. Yes, I would 312 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: agree with you. And he has to. He's five eight nine, 313 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it. He's not six feet tall, 314 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: so he's got to use his attributes to help him. 315 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: And I think when he struggled over the last I 316 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: mean a couple of weeks, his ability or a team's 317 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: ability to keep him in the pocket. So if I'm 318 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: going against Kyler Murray Dan, watch what the Patriots did 319 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: to him. The Patriots didn't allow him outside the pocket. 320 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: And it's very similar to Baker Mayfield. If you just 321 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: keep Baker Mayfield in the confines of that pocket, he's 322 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: going to struggle more times than not. Because these guys 323 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: are not very big now, the coaching staffs know that. 324 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: So what does Kevin Stefanski do? What does Cliff Kingsbury do? 325 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get these guys outside the pocket, on the 326 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: edge where they can see. Imagined, if you were trying 327 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: to drive a car, you couldn't eight like, you couldn't 328 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: drive at all.

Frank has been covering the NBA 348 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: for a long time, and he's of course ESPNS around 349 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: the horn and pardon the interruption contributor Sirius XM NBA Radio. 350 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: The show is the starting lineup and he is your host. 351 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: Where do you stand with the Brooklyn Nets this year? Frank, 352 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 1: By the way, you remember the player World Be Free? Yeah, 353 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: it was from Canarci Brooklyn. They say now that Kyrie's 354 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 1: nickname is World B Flat. I think that's a. That's 355 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 1: a that's a terrific victa Perhead. The nets look really 356 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: good and you know, if you go back to the 357 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: bubble last year. Everybody says, well, you know, the Nets, 358 00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: all right, so they made the playoffs, we're gonna get 359 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: knocked out in the first round, which they did. But 360 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: what last year meant for the development of guys like 361 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: Harris Lavert obviously, Jared Allen, Joe Harris, and now you 362 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 1: add Kyrie Irving healthy, but more importantly Kevin Durant. You 363 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 1: know how this works. Stand you haven't. We haven't seen 364 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: Durant what was it, five hundred and sixty days? And 365 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: it's not that you forgot that he's a great player, 366 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 1: but when you see him out there and you're thinking, man, 367 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: when this guy is right, it's really Lebron and then 368 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant. Maybe some people think that Kevin Durant is 369 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 1: a better player, certainly a terrific offensive player. If he's 370 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: gonna play like this and he's gonna stay healthy, the 371 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 1: Nets will be a tough team to beat four to 372 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 1: seven times in the playoffs. I feel a little bit. 373 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 1: I'm a little bit more encouraged because you have Kevin 374 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 1: Durant there. Because when Kyrie went to Boston, we said 375 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,199 Speaker 1: the same thing about the Celtics. Boy, they grew up 376 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and now you put Kyrie in there. Well, 377 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: Kyrie didn't help them get any better, and you know 378 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: they were happy to see him leave. I think having 379 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 1: Durant there almost as a sounding board, or he can 380 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,640 Speaker 1: whisper in his ear, hey, let's get back. You know, 381 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: it's you and me here together. We gotta because they 382 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: can make something great happen here. I just think it's 383 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: a really delicate mix of either really good or really 384 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 1: bad here. Frank, Yeah, I think you're right. And that's 385 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: why after one game, it doesn't really matter what guys saying. 386 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: You know, we're all just like the first weekend of 387 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: the NFL season, we always overreacted in the first game. 388 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: We're going to do that with the nets against the 389 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: Warriors team. It's still trying to figure things out. But 390 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: you know, when Kyrie was in Cleveland, he had Labron, 391 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: so you're playing with you know, Rig will be the 392 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 1: greatest player of all time, so you're the number two 393 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: guy there. That was perfect for him. In Boston, they 394 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: needed him to be the number one guy, and I 395 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: think he struggled with that now with Kevin Durant. You 396 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 1: know Durant when he was on Golden State. He's surrounded 397 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: by Clay Thompson, Steph Curry, Draymond Green. They were okay 398 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: with him being the guy. As long as Kyrie Irving 399 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: is okay being that so called Robin to batman, It'll 400 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: work out. Because we know this from Kevin Durant. He's 401 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: good with an ensemble cast. He had ensomble cast in 402 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,360 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City where he was the number one guy. They 403 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 1: go to the finals. Obviously, what they did in Golden 404 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: State was tremendous. Think about this. Kevin Durant played ten 405 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 1: finals games with the Golden State Warriors. They were nine 406 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: and one in those games. That's how good Kevin Durant is, 407 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: so I think and what I love about Durant. You 408 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: listen to him now, except for when Charles Barkley asked 409 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,359 Speaker 1: him a question last night. He wanted no part of that, 410 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: which was pretty funny. But for the most part, Durant 411 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: has been very upbeat. His mood seems to change. I 412 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: think now that he's playing basketball again, I think he 413 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: wants to get back to that level. Not only is 414 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: a great player, but as a champion. I think he's 415 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: shooting for what Lebron did last season. I just love 416 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: his attitude, he seems like he has the joy back 417 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: and playing basketball. Convinced me the Clippers could be better 418 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: this year by what they did in the off season. 419 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Luke Canardo got crazy money, he's 420 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 1: a good playmaker. Sergei Bacca, who disappeared for a couple 421 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: of years and then the last two or three years 422 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: with Toronto, has been nothing short about standing. So I 423 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: think he'll help. And you could have said, Frank, you 424 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: could have said, no, I can't convince you that I was. 425 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 1: I would give you that out. Well it's funny, right, 426 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: So Charles Barkley Interviews. He had a great question for 427 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: Paul George last night when he asked him about getting 428 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: preferential treatment. Let's face it, in every line of work, 429 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 1: the stars get preferential treatment. Your crew talked about it 430 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,120 Speaker 1: all the time. You get treated definitely than everybody because 431 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: you're the big star. We know how it works, absolutely. 432 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: But you know, when he brought up the fact, because 433 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: Paul George of Minty said, well, you know, I know 434 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 1: what it takes. So yeah, sure, that's how it works. 435 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: But the guys who had an issue with that, that's 436 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: no longer a problem to me. He was clearly referring 437 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 1: to Montrez Harold, who's no longer on the team. There 438 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: were chemistry issues. They didn't want to be in the 439 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 1: bubble last year, and I think Lou Williams proved that 440 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: when he went to Magic City just to get the Wings. 441 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: As you know, that's all he was there for was 442 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: the Wings. So they were chemistry issues. They need Kawai 443 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: to play at a different level. If Lebron had lost 444 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: a three one series lead to Denver the way that 445 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: Kawai did, we'd be killing Lebron. Kawhi kind of got 446 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 1: a bit of a pass last year with which he 447 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: didn't deserve. He needed to play better. Yeah, but nobody 448 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,639 Speaker 1: cares about Kawhi Leonard the way they care about Lebron. 449 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: I mean, Lebron is polarizing because for a variety of reasons. 450 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: But I think the bottom line is is people don't 451 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 1: want him infringing on Michael Jordan's territory. Like no matter 452 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: what he does, Nope, he's not going to get there. 453 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: There's always going to be the Yeah. But with Lebron, 454 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 1: James Kawhi, we just sort of go, you know, hey, Kawahi, 455 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: he's a great two way player. He shows up in 456 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Okay, I's there's nothing else about him. He's 457 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: not musty TV. Yeah, and you're right. So everybody loves 458 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: player empowerment. We've talked about this before. Yeah. Player empowerment 459 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: is great for the player because when things go wrong, 460 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: they're never blamed. Doc Rivers got blamed in LA. Look 461 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: what James Harden is pulling right now at the Houston Rockets. 462 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: So Kawhi leaves Toronto, goes to the Clippers. You know 463 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,439 Speaker 1: they moved heaven and Earth, bringing his buddy Paul George. 464 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 1: So now Kawhi Leonard is making demands they trade all 465 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,959 Speaker 1: those assets to get Paul George. Look at the way 466 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: that Paul George played in the bubble, not to his credit, 467 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 1: got two unt to twenty five million dollars extension. He 468 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 1: was actually failing up in this case. But nobody said 469 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: to Kohler, hang on a second, you're the one that 470 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: made us go out and get Paul George. He didn't 471 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: show up on those last three games against Denver. You 472 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: weren't very good in a game seven. You know who 473 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: will blame. Let's blame Doc Rivers will ship him out. 474 00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: Talking to Frank Gisla the serious x MNBA radio shows 475 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: called the Starting Lineup. He's the host. He's obviously a 476 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: contributor to Around the Horn. And pardon the interruption. You know, 477 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: I watched the Lakers last night and I just I 478 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: wasn't going to read anything into it. I just wanted 479 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: to see substitutions. I wanted to see, you know, certain 480 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: guys were, you know, play with certain players. I didn't 481 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: take anything away from it. And am I being naive 482 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: by not taking anything away from that loss against the Clippers? Well, 483 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: you know, I know I put a lot into last 484 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 1: year's Opening night when the Clippers beat them, and I 485 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 1: thought the Clippers would give them a great run, and 486 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,639 Speaker 1: they won the Staples Center Championship. The problem is, the 487 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: Lakers won the World Championship. And I think, you know, 488 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 1: for the Lakers not having Rondo, he was huge, especially 489 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: during the playoffs, and even Dwight Howard. You know, a 490 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: pivotal moment in the NBA Finals was that hard foul 491 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: that Dwight had a VAM out of bio, which noted 492 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: Bham out for a game and injured him for the 493 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: rest of the years. I don't really ever remember Dwight 494 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: really being that physical, but he knocked dam out of 495 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: Bio for a loop and we really never saw him again. 496 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: The key will be Lebron James, and we know that 497 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: Lebron will be ready by the end of the season, 498 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: but Kenny stay healthy. So last night Lebron rolling his ankle. 499 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: We know that on December thirtieth, he's going to turn 500 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: thirty six years old, So all that stuff starts to 501 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: add up. But I still have a lot of faith 502 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: in him. You know, he's when he's at his best, 503 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: he looks like he's about twenty eight years old, not 504 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: necessarily thirty six. So I'm not going to jump to 505 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: conclusions on the Lakers after one game. ESPN NBA reporter 506 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: Tim McMahon is reporting a source says the Rockets are 507 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: working with NBA office officials to review video of James 508 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: Harden at a strip club. If the video's circulating on 509 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: social media is verified to be recent, it's a violation 510 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: of the league's COVID protocols, which would put Harden's availability 511 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: for tonight's opener in jeopardy. It's disgraceful, it really is. 512 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: And here's the issue that you have with Harden. He's 513 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 1: another guy, I don't want Chris Paul and the team 514 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: bringing Russell Westbrook. Then that falls apart. Now that you 515 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: know the team looks like it's moving trending toward not 516 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: being a playoff team, he says, well, now I want 517 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: to be traded. We'll hang on a second. You were 518 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: the one that was making all the calls. Now when 519 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 1: you don't like things, now you say that you want 520 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: to be out of here. You don't show up for practice. 521 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: So Stephen Silas finally gets a head coaching job after 522 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: about twenty years as an assistant. And look what James 523 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: Harden does with this guy. If I were Steven Salas, 524 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: I'd call up Mark Cuban and say, can I have 525 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: my old job back in Dallas. It's a it's a 526 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: lot less stressful for being an assistant coach in Dallas 527 00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: than running the Houston Rockets. At some point, the league 528 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 1: needs to step in James Harden if this turns out 529 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 1: to be true, I think he should be suspended because 530 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: Dan he's holding the organization hostage number one number two 531 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: with all this stuff that he's been pulling. He's hurting 532 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: his trade value, which is also hurting the Houston Rockets. 533 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,439 Speaker 1: It'll eventually work out for James Harden. I'm not so 534 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: sure it's going to work out for the Houston Rockets. 535 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 1: One final thing. And I've been on this topic on 536 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,959 Speaker 1: and off for the last couple of years. We love lists. 537 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,159 Speaker 1: List drive me crazy, but when we put out the 538 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: top ten basketball players of all time, it feels like 539 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: there should be a line of demarcation that starts nineteen 540 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 1: seventy on. Yeah, because Will, to me should be Babe Ruth, 541 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 1: but he's not allowed to be Babe Ruth. We discredit 542 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: those stats for some reason. Bill Russell the greatest winner 543 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: in team sports history, but not one of the top 544 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: ten players. It's as far as you know, stats and 545 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 1: everything that he did, love what he did, but he's 546 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,640 Speaker 1: not in there. Do I leave Oscar Robertson in there? 547 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: Do I leave Jerry West in there? At some point 548 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 1: we're gonna have a top ten list where Carl Malone 549 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: is not in there, Larry Bird might not be in there. Yeah, 550 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: you know, there's Will. It's not going to be in there. Like, 551 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: I don't know how you rank players because Steph Curry, 552 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: is he going to be a top ten player of 553 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 1: all times? Is Kevin Durant going to be a top 554 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: ten player of all time. Yeah, I think we're Yeah, 555 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: we're becoming that guy where now we're we have to 556 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: defend Lowry Bird in terms of being a top ten player. 557 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: You should get Sunny Hill, mister Philadelphia Basketball, to tell 558 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: you some stories about Will Chamber. I mean, come on, 559 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: at a time when everyone was allowed to do this, Dan, 560 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: the guy averaged fifty points in twenty five rebounds. If 561 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 1: an NBA player did that for a week, people would say, 562 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: you should probably build a statute for the guy. So 563 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: that was fifty and twenty five for one season. Then 564 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: when you go look at Michael Jordan. What I love 565 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,199 Speaker 1: about Jordan? Go look at the games play it like 566 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: to the players even of the eighties and the nineties, 567 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 1: it was a badge of honor to be playing eighty 568 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 1: two games a season. Now, if you play eighty two games, 569 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: you look at as your son on a weirdo. Well, 570 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 1: clearly you have no cache in the league. Is why 571 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: would you be playing all the time. The idea isn't 572 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: to play all the time. But I think you're right. 573 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: As time goes on, we're going to forget some of 574 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 1: these great players and the game was different. It's now 575 00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 1: a three point shooting game. You know, touch fowls get 576 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: called all the time. You know, in the eighties and 577 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: nineties it was all out warfare. I looked up something 578 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,360 Speaker 1: the other day where, you know, there was a fight 579 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: between Rick Mahorn and Charles Oakley. I think it was 580 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: back in like eighty five or eighty six. They both 581 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 1: got fined about twenty five hundred bucks. Mahorne did get 582 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: one game by the fight, so you were almost You 583 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: weren't even penalized for fighting back in the day like 584 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,680 Speaker 1: you are today. To the league's credit, they basically legislated 585 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: fighting out of the league. But it's just so different 586 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: the games on. It's physical, so everyone's scoring averages are up. 587 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you, Mary, Christmas. To you.
