WEBVTT - 12/15/20 HOUR 2- Louis Riddick 0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:03.520 You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.360 Sports Radio Hour two. On this Tuesday, Dan and the 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.840 Danettees dan Patrick Show spent a lot of time in 0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:12.520 the first hour talking about what could possibly be the 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.800 best game of the NFL season last night certainly went 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.560 back and forth and the Ravens beating the Browns forty 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:23.280 seven forty two. They came in as a three three 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.280 and a half point favored in this game, and a 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:28.920 bad beat because even if you're there and you go, 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.560 all right, Justin Tucker kicked the field goal, all right, 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.839 it's going to be a push, and then the Browns 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.040 try to make something happen, and then they end up 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.240 with his safety, and that is a bad beat. Although 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.479 I always look at it this way. We say it's 0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.000 a bad beat, But what about the guy who goes, 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:49.200 oh my gosh, what's best case scenario? Oh, Justin Tucker 0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:52.280 kicks the field goal and it's a push, the Brown's 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.080 trying to do something, and no, it's a safety. I 0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.400 just covered. I just won. I just won this beat. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.520 We never talk about that. I know Scott Van Pelt 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.120 does his bad beats occasionally. I'd like for him to 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.679 talk to somebody who benefits from the bad beat or 0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.240 you know, it's a great win there, but going in 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.920 it's three points. Tucker kicks the field goal, You're all right, 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:18.640 it's a push and then you get the safety there 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:21.440 eight seven seven three D P show email address DP 0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:24.800 and Dan Patrick dot com. We'll talk to Lewis Riddick. 0:01:24.880 --> 0:01:26.759 He worked the game last night for the mother Ship. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:31.160 Get his thoughts on which team will be more dangerous 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.800 assuming both are getting into the playoffs, the Ravens and 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.840 the Browns, And I would say the Ravens because they 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:40.720 have the X factor. There's only a couple of X 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.560 factors in the NFL when you think about it. Patrick 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.520 Mahomes certainly an X factor, Aaron Rodgers an X factor, 0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:52.639 Aaron Donald an X factor. You could look at maybe 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:55.560 Josh Allen is getting up there as one of those 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.200 X factors. I don't look at Drew Brees or Tom 0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:05.000 Brady as X factors. Kyler Murray can be, Russell Wilson 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.200 certainly as an X factor. There's there's a handful of them. 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:12.200 But with Lamar Jackson you have something that is unique. 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.639 He's not gonna beat you consistently with his arm, but 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:18.480 he will beat you consistently with his legs, and you 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:22.200 saw that last night, running for over one hundred yards 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.840 and picking up a big win on the road. Here 0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:30.679 is John Harbaugh talking about his quarterback. They played a 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.720 very good football game, and we played a very good 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:35.440 football game. It was one of it's it's just a 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.240 it's a game that's gonna go down in history. So 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.040 it's just proud to be a part of it and 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:42.680 really proud of our players. Here is Baker Mayfield talking 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.280 about seeing Lamar Jackson come out of the locker room 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:48.800 with two minutes to go. He's an unbelievable player, unbelievable guy. 0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:52.440 I mean, his work ethic is unreal. It was like 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.360 the scene of a movie. You know. I hate that 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:59.320 for tracing sorely, praying that he's he's okay. But you know, 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.359 as soon as he down, you can see Lamar trotting 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.760 back out of the field. It was, you know, geez, 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:05.920 you know, I mean, he's a great player. So you 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.280 know you're gonna have to just try and contain him. 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.079 You're never gonna be able to stop guys like that. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.200 He's just a great player. The team's combined for nine 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.839 rushing touchdowns. That tied for the most in any game 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.760 in NFL history. Last time it happened nineteen twenty two. 0:03:20.160 --> 0:03:22.720 I almost get the feeling that, let's say this was 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.920 a movie. Lamar Jackson goes into the locker room. We 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:27.520 don't know why he went in there. He said he 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.720 was cramping up, maybe getting an ivy. So we follow 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.560 him in there. You know, the camera, you know, the 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.640 dolly is going to follow him. And then he goes 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.280 into the locker room. They put a needle in his arm, 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.520 and then the IV happens, and you could hear the 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:43.680 crowd a little bit, and then all of a sudden, 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.920 somebody's he wants to have updates there. So he's sitting 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:50.560 there getting his IV. Wait, wait, what's happening, what's happening? 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.720 Trace McSorley just went down awkwardly. Take out the needle. 0:03:57.520 --> 0:04:01.400 We can't take out the needle. And then all of 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:03.600 a sudden he walks to the door and then he 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.480 opens the door and then there's the lights that are 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.280 on him, and then he runs out and then all 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:15.880 of a sudden he throws a touchdown pass. That's how 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:18.920 Spielberg probably would have done it. Take out the needle, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:23.000 No we can't take out. I'm gonna take it out myself. No, 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:25.360 Na takes out the needle and then he runs out 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:30.359 on the field. At least that's how I kind of 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.680 envisioned it last night. It might be I've got to 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.599 get back in this game. My teammates need me now. 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.080 It might have been Lamar comes in and he's got 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.799 to use the bathroom and we got him in the stall, 0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:47.359 so it's probably less cinematic there. You know what happened. 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.279 He had to go to the bathroom number two? Oh okay, 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.080 not to Hollywood ending, although it was a Hollywood ending 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.480 because Hollywood Brown caught the touchdown pass for the Ravens there, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.359 yeah s mclevn. Unbelievable. When he pulls out the cord, 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.240 blood spurts in the air cinematically right, and with the 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.640 ivy it can't be. It has to be one of 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.040 those old glass ivy, so it smashes to the ground 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.200 as he's running out every one of the bag ivs. 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.280 There's no sound there. Pulled the needle out. We can't 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:22.360 all do it myself in and then slow motion blood's 0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:26.440 coming out and then the ivy dripping, and then you 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.520 see him go out and then all of a sudden magic, Yeah, Paul, 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.080 it wouldn't be a similar cinematic if there was a 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.279 big flush and he's running and there's toilet paper hanging 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.400 from the back of his cleat he's running into the stadium. Yeah. 0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.760 The clip that everyone's looking at, Lamar is running in 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.000 the back. There's actually like a locker room attendant who 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.640 opens a door that almost takes Lamar out and they 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.719 almost running into each other. That'd be the worst case scenario, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:54.279 like he had to avoid the locker room attendan. I 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.640 just saw this tweet. It's funny. I don't know the 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:01.680 person sending it out. No Fogel tweets. The rest of 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:04.440 the Jets games this season will be on Comedy Central. 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:09.640 That's good. The Browns play the Giants next Sunday Night, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.800 and the Browns three and a half point favorites there 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:17.200 in New York. We'll have a poll question. I think 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.720 are we gonna stay with the pole question for the 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.160 first hour in mcloven eight seven seven three D P 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.719 show email address dp A dan Patrick dot com Twitter 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:26.200 handle the DP show. The first hour I just put 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:30.280 up would you rather have Nick Chubb or Justin Tucker fifty. 0:06:30.480 --> 0:06:33.640 That's a stupid question. Why are we doing that? I 0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:35.960 think it's true. I mean I don't think anyone wants 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.240 Ezekiel Elliott, by the way. I think most people would 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.240 not even want him on the roster for nothing. No, no, 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:43.479 But I mean it comes out of nowhere with that, 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:46.880 like have sometime, it's a little broader with your that's 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.359 a fair question though. Nick Chubb is a breakaway running 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:51.440 back and really good. But your point about Justin Tucker 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.440 being a sure thing is kind of the point that 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.240 the best kicker by far the best kicker. Well, yeah, 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.480 I mean it's a point. It's a question, but it's 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.960 on a pole. Pole question should be who do you 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.479 think is gonna be more dangerous in the postseason? Assuming 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:07.080 they both make it? The Ravens of the Browns, like 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.120 Justin Tucker over Nick Chubb. People are probably going, huh, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.560 it's funny. I think the Browns are. I think people 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.480 are dying to play the Browns of the playoffs. Like 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.160 there there were three point underdogs at home against the 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.280 Rave The Ravens are are. Paul, you asked a question 0:07:23.440 --> 0:07:25.680 how many teams the AFC scarier for the Super Bowl? 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:28.119 I think the Ravens are one of those teams, aren't 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.520 they because of like you said, they're they're unusual. Well, yeah, 0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.960 I'm not the Browns. I think if they play a 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:40.280 perfect game, then then they can beat Kansas City, they 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.240 can beat Pittsburgh. Um, they can beat I think anybody 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.000 in the AFC. But it's a perfect game once again, 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.240 and it's rare that that happens. And that is you 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.280 run the football, you run for at least two hundred yards, 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.800 Baker has no interceptions, UM play action and you put 0:07:57.800 --> 0:08:02.239 pressure on Patrick Mahomes and you don't have to blitz anybody. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.360 Like if you play a perfect game like that, then 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:08.200 you have a chance to win. But it's really rare. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:11.320 We've seen teams that play a perfect half against Kansas 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.680 City three quarters. You gotta play four quarters perfect game. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.000 But you know, I think Baltimore is a dangerous team 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:21.880 because they'll get healthier. You know, he still don't have 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.200 a lot of weapons as far as the passing game 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:28.280 with Baltimore, but you know, maybe it's gonna be a 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.240 lot more Lamar Jackson and I think he's gonna have 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:33.480 to take ownership here. And it felt like last night 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.320 that's what you got with Lamar Jackson. Here's Jackson talking 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:41.199 about returning to the game. I get a ball to 0:08:41.280 --> 0:08:44.559 JK and my legendstar Tramp and I'm like, bro right, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.400 I need something now to help me get better real quick, 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.800 because this is a crucial game right here. You know, 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:52.400 both teams you playing their hearts out. And we went 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:54.800 to the back on Doctor Tucks. I'm helping me out 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.720 a lot, and you know, trads were doing a great 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.400 job dropping the ball down the field. And then I 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.959 see him and we got to start in nine. We 0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:04.280 just got to go out and I start running out there, 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:08.959 care running with me. It's fourth now, and office brought 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.400 blot e tail off and our guys and me greet 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:13.040 catches him. We came out with the vigory. Yeah, it 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:17.400 was impressive. It was and Justin Tucker with the field goal, 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.400 and then you had the safety as well. Forty seven 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:23.640 forty two four years ago today we lost Craig Sagar. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.120 The NBA season is one week away. I saw where 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:32.120 Kyrie Irving was walking back some of his comments. I 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:35.720 don't really care, you know, if Kyrie wants to talk 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.520 or not want it, doesn't want to talk, I mean 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:41.680 it doesn't change my day, but he does owe it 0:09:41.800 --> 0:09:44.760 two NBA fans who actually care what he has to say. 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:47.920 And he now knows that that it's going to cost 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:50.680 him and his team a lot of money. And while 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.920 he makes thirty three million, he may not care, but 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:56.880 his team is going to care. And uh, he walked 0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.640 back a comment that he made a couple of weeks ago. 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:02.160 I knew when he made this comment, but this is 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.000 when Steve Nash first took over, and I went, oh, 0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:07.079 this comment is not going to age. Well, here was 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:14.280 Kyrie irving yesterday. He's been amazing and it really is 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.640 a reflection of the type of person is you know, 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.800 and the IQ he has for the game. You know, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:21.719 I think I gotta take back my comments in terms 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.760 of the head coach back in a few months ago. 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.040 But it's just like, man, we have such a great synergy. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.840 Everyone feels like we're coaching one another to be better. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:37.480 So I'm grateful for that. That wasn't that difficult. I mean, 0:10:37.520 --> 0:10:41.240 it wasn't And he and he spoke to us pawns, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.520 and I really appreciate that the King spoke to us. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:49.680 I really appreciate that. Yeah, I hate to sort of like, Wow, 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.040 it turns out he is actually a coach. Yeah, so 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.520 my bad, there's out Steve. Actually it's kind of a coach, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:59.400 So yeah, I gotta walk that one back. I don't 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.280 think Kyrie would appreciate if Steve Nash goes. I'm basically 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:04.080 going to play point out there. I'm gonna be the 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.600 brains with these guys on the floor. You know they're 0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:09.080 gonna listen to me. Since I'm a two time MVP 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.280 and I'm a Hall of Famer. That wouldn't age well 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.160 with Kyrie. I don't think I had fun watching them 0:11:15.200 --> 0:11:20.360 their game against the Wizards. I watched LaMelo ball last night. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.480 There's plenty of room on the bandwagon here, you know, 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:26.840 because of his dad, nobody wants to board the plane. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.559 But I will say he is going to be fun. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:35.480 He really is. He's got he's got something, you know. 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.800 They call it the IT factor. LaMelo can play and 0:11:39.440 --> 0:11:42.559 play at a high level. It comes down to decisions 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.520 that he makes. Every time I've watched him, he makes 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.800 decisions where you go, what are you thinking? And if 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.520 you're gonna have the ball in your hands? You know 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.000 I don't. You can't have somebody out there where you go, 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:56.080 what are you thinking? Like, you're the leader, you're the 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.840 point guard. But he can see the open man, find 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:03.080 the open man. His shot is not bad. It starts low, 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.520 but it's far better than his an older brother and 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.080 uh lie Angelo ball. They call him Jello. He got 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.280 cut by the Detroit Pistons and Dad was not pleased. 0:12:13.320 --> 0:12:17.360 He called them a raggedy team. Jello can shoot. I 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.720 just don't think he can play. He's he's an elite 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:24.000 shooter that I don't think he's a good player, an 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:27.360 NBA player. I should say, as you know, you always 0:12:27.360 --> 0:12:29.840 say we'll find the superstars. Do you think we'll find 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.640 Lamello in Charlotte? I was watching the highlights. I'm like, 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.720 oh my gosh, I kind of forgot they had a 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.560 franchise at some point. You know, it's a it's a 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:42.720 low buzz team generally. Will that change? Well, you know, 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:47.280 we found we've we've found players in different places before. 0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:53.480 We found them in Cleveland. Trying to think, uh, you know, 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.640 when Shaq was in Orlando with Penny Hardaway, I mean, 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:59.920 it happens, but you're able to watch all of these 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:04.000 game Zion's in New Orleans. We're gonna find them. The 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:09.000 question is will the networks bring them to your attention? 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:10.720 Will they make it easier for you to find them 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:15.679 and show Charlotte on TV, because up until now you'd 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.120 show Charlotte and go boy. I hope Kemba Walker gets 0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:21.560 out of there. Oh, there's Michael Jordan at a game, 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:27.120 and that would be just about it. But I think 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:33.079 that maybe that Yeah, they have to be decent. That's 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.959 the only problem because you can tune in and watch 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.920 LaMelo ball. But I don't know if the team is 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:39.480 going to be that good this year. But he is. 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:44.160 He's worth he's worth watching, He's worth finding. I will 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:48.080 say that. Let me see anything else I need to 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:52.600 mention here. Dan Zion thirty three and a half minutes 0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:55.040 last Oh, they've turned him loose. I'm rounding up to 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.800 thirty four. Oh, they've turned him loose. Oh. I love 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.160 that they're turning Zion on loose this year. Okay, I 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.440 don't know if thirty three minutes is turning him loose, 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:09.720 but great. I hope he plays an awful lot. See 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.960 Second Morning to our TV partner that's Peacock and you 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.360 can download the app and watch all three hours for 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.200 free and you can listen on a great radio filiates 0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:23.240 around the country, numbering over three hundred and seventy five. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.960 A couple of phone calls in here Tom in Los Angeles, Hi, Tom, 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.080 what's on your mind today? Hey? I just was wondering 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.240 if he had a chance to yeah about the Kyrie thing. 0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.680 I think it's pretty transparent that one, he's trying to 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.400 suck up all the oxygen knowing that this is now 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:40.040 going to be Katie's team, just like it was in 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.600 Golden State and in Oklahoma City. And also how long 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.680 do you think this will last before Katie kind of 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:49.920 gets sick of Facebook Kyrie trying to pass aggressively create 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:52.360 his own headlines by taking all the attention away, Like 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.600 if Katie is a thirty plus game, but they want 0:14:54.640 --> 0:14:56.880 to talk about Kyrie and I wanted to talk, how 0:14:56.880 --> 0:14:58.520 long do you think that's going to go? Yeah? But 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.240 I think Kad understood he has to know who Kyrie 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:05.000 Irving is. It's not like he got to Brooklyn and went, 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:09.760 wait a minute, what's he doing here? Katie loves to 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:15.720 tweet Kyrie. It feels like it's sometimes passive aggressive there, 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.280 but Katie does his damage behind the scenes. When he 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.520 tweets out stuff or you tweet something and then he 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.080 gets angry and he tweets back at you. But I 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.800 don't know if Katie's going, hey, I want my attention here. 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.880 You know, this is a great experiment just these personalities 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.080 together and it could either be really good or really bad. 0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.400 It feels like I don't know if there's middle ground here, 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:40.880 but it was wonderful to see Katie back out there, 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.560 because you know, we haven't seen a player like this 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:50.120 in NBA history. Who is that tall, that mobile, who 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.440 can go to the hoop, mid range jumper, great at 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:57.280 the free throw line, long range jumper that he there 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.400 is a I know we'd love to throw out in 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.080 Unicorn and Chris stops portzingis used to be a Unicorn. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:07.200 You know, Kadi is probably the original Unicorn because you 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.000 just you don't expect somebody that big to be that graceful. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:16.080 His stroke is wonderful and he's he won't end up 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.880 as the old time leading score, but he might be, 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:22.600 you know, the greatest score we've ever seen from the 0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.800 standpoint of what where he did it, how he did it, 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:30.880 and look hardon is going to be unstoppable for many 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.960 years to come, and you know Lebron's going to be 0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:38.880 the all time leading scorer probably, But there are guys 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:43.160 where you go that he's unique. You know, Kareem was 0:16:43.280 --> 0:16:46.800 unique from the standpoint of he had a ballet type 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:51.360 feel to him, jazz type feel to him. Harden is 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.480 I'm I'm just gonna I have brute force, but I 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.360 do have finesse. Katie is not going to muscle anybody. 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.880 He looks like the same size then when he was 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:04.840 a freshman at Texas. But to watch what he does 0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:08.080 and how he does it from different places on the floor, 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.240 we haven't seen that before, and he won't have the 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:16.320 most points, but we might look at him as you know, 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.240 that was unstoppable, and there are very few players where 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:23.879 you go unstoppable. James Harden is unstoppable. Now when he stopped, 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.440 he gets stopped, he stopped himself. Kareem to me was unstoppable. 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:33.399 Wilton a previous generation was unstoppable. There are players, you know, Jordan, 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:37.840 I guess at times you know was unstoppable. But you 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.639 saw something with KD and I'm glad it's back, But 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.200 you know you're dealing with a guy coming off and 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.160 Achilles surgery hasn't played in a year and a half, 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:49.720 and how many you're gonna have to limit his minutes 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.880 and that will be tricky as well with both Kyrie 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.040 and Kevin Durant. But to watch them and that's a 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.960 good team. Now, the Nets are a good team. The 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.040 question is those role players who were stars before these 0:18:05.080 --> 0:18:08.800 guys came in, how do they sort of immerse themselves 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.119 back into being just a role player instead of I 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.920 get my touches, I'm averaging twenty a game, din Wittie 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.800 Carris Lavert, like these guys got shots, they got points, 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.480 Joe Harris, And that's tricky as well when it comes 0:18:23.520 --> 0:18:25.360 to those two coming in and taking all the air 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.840 out of the room. More phone calls coming up. Lewis Riddick, 0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:30.880 who called the game last night from the mother Ship. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.560 He'll join us. Who was a more dangerous team come 0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.280 playoff time? Between these two? We'll talk to him about 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.520 that and more twenty after the hour here on The 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.800 Dan Patrick Show.

He's Lewis Riddick, who was kind enough 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.440 to join us on the program. Lewis, let me start 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:24.639 with this question. Thanks for joining us. Was this a 0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:29.000 good night for the Cleveland Browns. Yes, it was, it was. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:31.480 And I know you know I said, and I said 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.800 last night Dan, that there's no Constellation prizes in the NFL. 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:38.800 You know, there's no moral victories. But I think for 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:43.000 this football team and for the city, given the fact 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.920 that this is a team that had beaten them eight 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:48.159 out of the past eleven games, I believe it was 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.480 right in the past ten games something like that. And 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:54.400 given the fact that there were narratives surrounding the Browns, 0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.520 is really not a narrative. I mean, it's the truth 0:20:56.600 --> 0:21:00.600 that they hadn't beaten anybody good. They hadn't really stood 0:21:00.640 --> 0:21:03.600 up and really given the quality teams for say, in 0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.399 the NFL, real good games outside of you know, playing 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.800 Tennessee the way they did the week before and beating them. 0:21:11.160 --> 0:21:13.200 They needed to have a good performance. They needed to 0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.439 have a strong performance. They needed to show that they 0:21:15.440 --> 0:21:18.280 can compete for three three and a half hours however 0:21:18.280 --> 0:21:20.479 long a game is going to take, and compete at 0:21:20.480 --> 0:21:22.720 a high level and play an exciting brand of football 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:24.840 for really people to say that's not the same old 0:21:24.880 --> 0:21:30.400 brown then, And I think they accomplished that. And if 0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.520 you know, for a play here and there for them 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.280 not that you know, if it wasn't for the fact 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.880 that they went up against the raigning MVP, who quite 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:40.360 honestly put on like a superman like performance last night, 0:21:41.920 --> 0:21:43.919 they've wouldn't have to get that football game. And I 0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.359 think people, I think people, if you really look at it, 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:48.320 you don't have any kind of grudge against the Cleveland 0:21:48.359 --> 0:21:52.080
