WEBVTT - Hour 1 - Chris Russo (06-12-20)

0:00:00.640 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:06.920
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio. Welcome to the program. Made it to a Friday.

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>It's a trigger. Meet Friday Chili Dogs later on today

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>on the Trigger Here on the Dan Patrick Show. Yesterday afternoon,

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I was sitting around, I was by myself, and I

0:00:18.360 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>started to think about the call we had yesterday from

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Cody in Tennessee, played in the SEC and he's a punter,

0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:27.760
<v Speaker 1>and we were talking about recruiting, and I started to

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.240
<v Speaker 1>laugh out loud that here is a punter in the

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:35.760
<v Speaker 1>SEC who got a tahoe. Now I don't know what

0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback got, but he at the punter got a tahoe.

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.279
<v Speaker 1>He said, yeah. I went down to the dealership and

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I filled out the paperwork and then the guy runs

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the dealership made the payments for me. I gotta used tahoe.

0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the SEC. By the way, I don't know

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>if you guys heard this, but Paul Feinbaum, he is

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the fine commentator for ESPN and the voice of the SEC.

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>He was on that pop show Get Up, and he

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>talked about Nick Saban being on the hot seat and

0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:09.399
<v Speaker 1>said this. I don't want this to sound blasphemous, but

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>time is running out on Nick Saban. It's been two

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>years since he's won a national championship. Two seasons. That's

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a long time. He hasn't gone that far or that

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.479
<v Speaker 1>long at Alabama since the early part of his career there.

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is his best team this season

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>is unknown at this point, however, there are many other

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.720
<v Speaker 1>programs catching up a little bit. It's no longer you

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>can no longer make a blanket statement. Nick Saban's going

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to win a bunch of a bunch of national championships.

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:44.200
<v Speaker 1>All right, that's Paul Feinbaum with I believe Paul's dog

0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>barking in the back there. But all right, at least

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we're talking some football here. I got a puncher getting

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a car in the SEC and Nick Saban's on the

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>hot seat. All right, I'm good with that. We're slowly

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>moving past this pandemic. Yes, Paul. In the past five seasons,

0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Nick Saban has six losses in five seasons. Two of

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 1>those losses are in the national title games. So during

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the regular season he's lost three games in the past

0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>five years. I don't know what like Nick Saban on

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:17.800
<v Speaker 1>the hot seat means. What if Nick Saban somehow gets

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.720
<v Speaker 1>back to the national title game, or he goes to

0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 1>the Final four and he doesn't win. If he doesn't

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>win a title in the next two years, does Nick

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>would Alabama ever fire Nick Saban? Yeah? McLeman, this is

0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 1>a joke, right, He's being totally funny, isn't he. You

0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.960
<v Speaker 1>can't possibly be I don't know. I don't know if

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>you try to be funny when you're on the show

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Get Up, it's pretty serious, yeah, season, but right, I

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:46.200
<v Speaker 1>mean he can't possibly be serious? Yeah. Boy, I didn't

0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:47.959
<v Speaker 1>listen to the rest of it. But the only angle

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>you could see down south looking at Nick Saban is

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>if he loses a couple more national titles or another

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.359
<v Speaker 1>national title to Clemson this year. Everyone has always said

0:02:57.400 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>that Dabo Sweeney would want to be the Alabama head

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>coach someday. He's younger, he's got a longer future ahead

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.519
<v Speaker 1>of him. That is the only mitigating factor here is

0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>that if somehow Dabo said I do want the Alabama job,

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>that could happen in the next three or four years,

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>when it didn't seem like that could ever happen. I

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know if Nick's on the hot seat, but if

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 1>he's on the hot seat only because of Dabo Sweeney's

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>success at Clemson, and I've maintained I would rather if

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm Dabo Sweeney, stay at Clemson. Although what's been going

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.119
<v Speaker 1>on at Clemson, maybe he'll look for a way out

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and maybe Alabama would be that escape there for him

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.560
<v Speaker 1>if he actually maybe escape is a strong word there.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>But if I'm Dabo SWEENEYO, stay at Clemson. You're building

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a dynasty there. You don't need to go. If you

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>go to Alabama, then you're compared to Nick Saban. Stay

0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>at Clemson, creating your own legacy there. Yeah, I'm clem

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 1>there's no I'm a system guy, right, Alabama is not

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the system. It's one hundred percent saving Yeah for us

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>him They what I don't remember what when's the last

0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 1>championship the Night Indies? Yeah, they I think ninety one

0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>with George Tigue and those guys. Yeah, they didn't have

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a good run there of coaches and as a result,

0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>a good run of players. But Nick coming in and

0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>al Dabo Sweeney. But I don't know, just kind of

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:16.359
<v Speaker 1>when I heard Paul Feinbaum say it, and I have

0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:19.679
<v Speaker 1>great respect for Paul, but thinking he's on the hot

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>seed here. You know you're not winning championships. Yeah, you're

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>getting to the championship game though. Yes, mcloven, you're right.

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>It is fun to get back. Every college football does it.

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't It engender itself to these kind of arguments all

0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 1>the time. Yeah, a little bit. But and look, maybe

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just a hot take from Paul, but I just

0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>liked that it was actually had something to do with

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>something that's closely related to actual football. Yeah, Paul, but

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>if you look at Alabama fans are quite spoiled the

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>past ten years. Last year Alabama went eleven and two

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and won the Citrus Bault. That's a disaster. That is horrendous.

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not you think I'm joking if you're an

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>alb I'm a football fan. That was a poor season, okay,

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>But for them, if they don't win the title in

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>the next two years, do you think that Nick Saban

0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:11.480
<v Speaker 1>would be fired? Because if you're on the hot seat, no,

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>not fired, okay, but if you're on the hot seat,

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 1>what happens when you're on the hot seat, you get fired.

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>But if behind the scenes, somehow, Dabo Sweeney said got

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:21.679
<v Speaker 1>it to Alabama's management got it to the athletic director

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>and present. Then I'm ready when you call that changes thing.

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:27.599
<v Speaker 1>This is not a traditional situation, but you would have

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to fire him because if you bring in Dabo Sweeney,

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we know what it looks like and feels like and

0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>what it is. You're firing Nick Saban. I can't imagine

0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 1>that Nick Saban's on the hot seat given the success. Now,

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Jim Horrorball, Why isn't Jim Harball is not on the

0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:47.359
<v Speaker 1>hot seat and Nick Saban is? Dabos Sweeney calls Michigan,

0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Jim Harball's on the hot seat. Let me tell you that. Yes,

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Nick love Dabo Sweeney. What's no part of the SEC

0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>schedule he's got He's got that a SEC schedule. Dude,

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to follow Nick Saban and Alabama and start

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 1>playing good team? No, I hear see, he loves that.

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>Would stay at Clemson absolutely positively, Yes, Todd. Was Marv

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Levy ever on the hot seat? Four straight Super Bowls?

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Even though he lost all four? Was there ever any

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>talk after any one of those four, even after the

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.520
<v Speaker 1>fourth one, that it's time to move on? I don't remember.

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>It's ridiculous, Yeah, Paul, Nick Saban sixty eight years old.

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.359
<v Speaker 1>Dabbo is fifty. That is a drastic difference. If you

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.479
<v Speaker 1>told me, if I had to put a week's pay

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that in five years the head coach Alabama's Nick Saban

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Dabbos Sweeney, I would take Dabo in the next five years. Yeah,

0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 1>two years. Yeah, but we're talking about being on the

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>hot seat. This will be Hey, Nick, we want to

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>make it seem like you're stepping down, even though if

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.560
<v Speaker 1>Dabbo Sweeney takes over, we know Nick is being encouraged

0:06:44.120 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>to step down. All right, I got sidetracked here, but hey,

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the program. It was fun to talk a little

0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:54.720
<v Speaker 1>bit of sports there, talk to some college football. All right,

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:57.799
<v Speaker 1>welcome to the program. It's our one on this Friday.

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 1>Coming up, we'll talk to him Chris mad Dog Russo,

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the first real popular radio hosts. Sports radio

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>host him and Mike Franz Sessor on the fan Mike

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>and the mad Dog So. Chris will join us, and

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.680
<v Speaker 1>he also works for the MLB network. I thought Chris

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>would be passionate about what's going on with Major League

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Baseball right now? Are we going to have a season?

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>And of course we love to blame people so we'll

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>talk to Chris about who's he putting the blame on.

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now, your phone calls are always welcome. H seven

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.920
<v Speaker 1>seven three DP show. We're gonna have Judd Appatau on.

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>He's got a new movie, The King of Staaten Island

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>with Pete Davidson, Marissa Tomay, Bill Burr in that movie.

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to him a little bit later on Doug Williams,

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the former quarterbacks Super Bowl winning quarterback with the Washington Redskins.

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.920
<v Speaker 1>There's going to be a film based on his life,

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and Doug will join us coming up next hour. It

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 1>will be I'm guessing, pretty powerful, pretty emotional, because he's

0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>going to talk about all the things that he went

0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 1>through to try to stay in the NFL. And at

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:03.360
<v Speaker 1>one point he said, I was a starting quarterback and

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I was the fifty fourth highest paid quarterback in the NFL,

0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>And if you do the math, that means just about

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.920
<v Speaker 1>every backup quarterback was making more than Doug Williams was.

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk to Doug, who is not the first African

0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>American quarterback drafted in the first round. I believe Al

0:08:19.760 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Davis and the Raiders had a quarterback back in the

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>late sixties. Do you have his name, McLevin Eldred's Dickey,

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe was AFL, people are pointing out. Okay, so

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the drafts were a little different, right, like, yes, Well,

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>the AFL was taking players from historically black colleges. The

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:45.480
<v Speaker 1>AFL was instrumental in giving these players a chance to play.

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.199
<v Speaker 1>And there were a lot of these players who if

0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.680
<v Speaker 1>they had they might not have been drafted by the NFL,

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>or if they did, they would have gone late. But

0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the AFL opened their doors and brought in these great

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>players from you know, historically black colleges. Yeah, mclub, Yeah

0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>said Tennessee State. But he never played quarterback. Once he

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>got to the Raiders, he moved to wide receiver. Okay,

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>that's what I remember him from, because I was surprised

0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>that you didn't remember him very well. Yeah, I remember

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the name, but I don't remember him ever playing quarterback. Yeh,

0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.280
<v Speaker 1>never took a snap with the Raiders head quarterback. All right,

0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.160
<v Speaker 1>we'll come up with the poll question. We got a

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:22.599
<v Speaker 1>stat of the day. We got to play of the

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.560
<v Speaker 1>day as well. And I don't know if you're like me,

0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>and you've completely switched up your weekend routine during the

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>pandemic because gone or the countless hours sitting on my

0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.960
<v Speaker 1>couch watching TV. I get to spend quality time with

0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.840
<v Speaker 1>my family. I'm even starting projects around the house. In fact,

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I've started a lot of projects around the house. I

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>don't finish the projects, but I've started a lot of them.

0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.559
<v Speaker 1>But I'm happy to say all that productivity is going

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.959
<v Speaker 1>straight out the window because the Charles Schwab Challenge not

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>normally must see TV. It might as well be the

0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Masters to me watching it yesterday. And I don't care

0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:01.920
<v Speaker 1>who in this. I know that they've talked about some

0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.840
<v Speaker 1>of the big names are in there, but I'm gladly

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>entertained by Kevin Kissner or Ian Poulter, Mark Leishman or

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Kevin Nah doesn't matter. I know the Tiger's not there,

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>but you know Brooks keptas there, You got Rory there,

0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.800
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Speed. But those household projects are less and less

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.440
<v Speaker 1>likely to get done. Looking forward to spending my Sunday

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>afternoons watching somebody else work there. All right, mcclevin, what

0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of poll questions do you have for me today?

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>We have all sorts of inane pole questions. It's inane

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.760

<v Speaker 1>in your ear. Raycon Great wireless earbuds. All right, McLevin Wood. Okay,

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>first question, it's chili dog Friday here at the man Cave.

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you prefer a chili dog or a hot dog

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 1>with ketchup and mustard? Because that was the this side

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:08.280
<v Speaker 1>of the glass, huge fiery debate this morning. I can

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>like both, right, definitely, Okay, definitely, But you're at a ballpark.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 1>You have one in front of you, which you tend

0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:16.839
<v Speaker 1>to do. If I'm at a ballpark hot dog. If

0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing a like a barbecue, then I'm doing chili dog.

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Good call. Yeah, yeah, Paul, I love chili dogs. I

0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.120
<v Speaker 1>grew up on chili dogs. But chili dog you want

0:11:25.120 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 1>to be in a more controlled setting, like a backyard

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.680
<v Speaker 1>or like a burger stand where you're kind of not

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>with people around watching, kind of like barbecue rips. Yeah,

0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I got to control the environment. There. Yeah, that's a

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>good call. Yeah, so I'm a little more of a

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>hot dog purist, I think, and then I just go mustard.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.480
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I guess the

0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.720
<v Speaker 1>occasional chili dog. There must be room for it, right,

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:49.640
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't grow up in a big chili dog

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:52.880
<v Speaker 1>area like Paul did. Mclubin. What else do you have? Wow?

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean I feel like we have a winter there.

0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>But okay. A couple other questions. Henry Ruggs the Raider's

0:11:58.200 --> 0:12:01.920
<v Speaker 1>first round pick her in self moving badly apparently, but

0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.760
<v Speaker 1>he's okay right now. If a friend asked you to

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.760
<v Speaker 1>help them move, what is your most likely response? Yes,

0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>what can I do to help? Maybe? How much stuff

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.760
<v Speaker 1>do you have? Or see? No, under any circumstances. No,

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>what I say is, you know, I have a guy

0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 1>that I work with. His name is Tyler the moderator.

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Let me call Tyler because Tyler will help out for real. Yeah, yeah,

0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 1>you pay him, but I would have time. I'm not

0:12:28.360 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>lifting anything. What about a while ago? Like? No, No,

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 1>the best money I spend is when I spend it

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>on somebody else to do some work. What else do

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>you have? Okay, you're getting some shaky heads over what

0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>you wish. The friend wouldn't ask you to help them move,

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:47.840
<v Speaker 1>but if they ask you to help the move, you

0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of have to say yes. Depends on what we're moving.

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I got asked about four years ago to help a

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>buddy in Vermont just load up a truck of stuff.

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>And it was raining and it was sloppy and messy,

0:12:57.400 --> 0:12:59.839
<v Speaker 1>but he needed help. He was in a jam and

0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:01.840
<v Speaker 1>he probably could have hired a mover, but it wasn't

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that big of a move. In that situation, I felt obliged.

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:08.439
<v Speaker 1>I didn't bother me. Yeah. See, yeah, I think there's

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 1>if you're asked, you must go. It's kind of that's

0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>why it's it's asking people is so tricky. But you

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:16.640
<v Speaker 1>know you got to provide like some pizza and beer

0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.520
<v Speaker 1>or something like that. Oh yeah, pizza, beer. But somebody

0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>asks you to move. It can't be like, oh I can't.

0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Well I could, because I'd say this back. Man, it

0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>acts up. Oh man, you know I had shoulder surgery recently,

0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I have a knee replaced, and man, i'd love to

0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>If you're Henry Ruggs, you just got drafted at number thirteen.

0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>He's got money. That's where Henry Ruggs says, as a

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:39.800
<v Speaker 1>good buddy, you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:43.280
<v Speaker 1>go and get somebody to help you move. I've moved

0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.560
<v Speaker 1>a hundred times in my life and never got hurt.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>You never got stabbed, Nope, not once. That feels like

0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:52.720
<v Speaker 1>it goes back to a story that I was told

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.360
<v Speaker 1>by Rob Dibble, the former Nasty Boy, and he said

0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>that their players were out drinking one night and a

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>guy stepped off the curb and really hurt his ankle badly.

0:14:03.960 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if he broke his ankle, but

0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 1>it severely sprained it. The next day, they got him

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.360
<v Speaker 1>to the ballpark, got him in uniform, got him in

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the outfield, and then he fell down as if he

0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 1>just fell down out there and convinced management that he

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 1>had gotten hurt in the field and had nothing to

0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:23.080
<v Speaker 1>do with drinking the night before. What else do you have?

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Nicklevin Okay, golf question for you guys, this is curious.

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:29.680
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather have if I give you one a

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 1>hole in one or take two shouts off your handicap

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 1>in a year, which is a more satisfying thing. I'm

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:37.120
<v Speaker 1>just curious because there's been a few hole and ones

0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:40.280
<v Speaker 1>on social media and tournaments lately. What's a bigger deal

0:14:40.280 --> 0:14:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for golfers? I don't golf like that. I don't know. Well,

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it depends on what my handicap is. If it's twenty

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 1>five and I go to twenty three, who cares. But

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.080
<v Speaker 1>if I get a hole in one, a lot of

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>people care. Now if I'm a five and I go

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>down to a three, then I would take that over

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.920
<v Speaker 1>a hole in one. If you're comfortably answering this, do

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know your handicap right now? I'm not sure. No,

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:03.520
<v Speaker 1>because I haven't played a enough in the last six years.

0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.800
<v Speaker 1>I haven't played enough to get a handicap. But I'm

0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>probably maybe eleven or twelve something like that. I'm guessing.

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I was down to a five at one point when

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't care about my career or my family, but

0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.360
<v Speaker 1>I was reminded by my wife that I should care

0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>about both of those. Yes, Paint. Do you think the

0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>average person listening out there knows what a golf handicap

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is if you don't play golf regularly. Probably not, because

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I when I was young and I didn't really understand

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the phrase because it was just getting into golf. But

0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like, my handicaps eight. I was like, I go, yeah.

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I was just nod my head at people because I

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 1>didn't know what it meant. Well, Tiger's handicap, So Tiger

0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:49.200
<v Speaker 1>has a handicap, and Tiger's handicap is eight and a half,

0:15:50.480 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>but the other way, so he would have to give

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:57.640
<v Speaker 1>so minus eight and a half to par. I think,

0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>is what his hand is? Something crazy? That's what his

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>hand cap is? Yes, Todd, Yeah, I was like, uh,

0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Like Paulie, I thought that that meant that someone just

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 1>was trying to get pat some kind of a problem

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that they had growing up or something like. I didn't

0:16:09.760 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>know it was about taking strokes off of what you're

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.880
<v Speaker 1>expected to finish for par. Oh wait, you thought somebody

0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:16.840
<v Speaker 1>who said they had a handicap they had some kind

0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>of physical disability of some sort that they were trying

0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>to overcome. And but I didn't understand what two off

0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:24.400
<v Speaker 1>would or four off of that would. You're not making

0:16:24.440 --> 0:16:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a joke, right, I'm being serious because I didn't really

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>watch golf at all. I would watch with my grandfather

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>and their apartment building, and when I was a kid,

0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't understand what that tournament at all, and I

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>still couldn't define it clearly. I know it doesn't mean

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that it means something after having getting close to what

0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 1>par for the course would be and adding strokes based

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>on your not being that good at golf. I have

0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>a problem sometimes when it comes to the betting odds

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>where somebody says it's seven to two and then another

0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>one is three three to one, and then you go

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>which one's better, and I'll go like, I don't know.

0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's why I didn't, you know, I don't continue

0:16:56.360 --> 0:16:58.360
<v Speaker 1>to gamble. People don't like admitting they don't know things.

0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Though a lot of people yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 1>love the under. I can't exactly explain what horse handicapping is,

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.119
<v Speaker 1>but I know, like, oh, he's a handicapper. You know.

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:08.360
<v Speaker 1>I've said that turned my whole life, not though he exactly.

0:17:08.840 --> 0:17:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I would love to be at auto mechanic who knew

0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.080
<v Speaker 1>exactly what they were talking about, just to see the

0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>number of times that people come in and act like

0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.840
<v Speaker 1>I do when I go to have somebody work on

0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>little too young. I was ten years old with Woodstock,

0:19:50.600 --> 0:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Eddie Coleman, my pal was at Woodstock. A little too young,

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>but boy, oh boy, I can't get enough of that

0:19:56.160 --> 0:20:00.840

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Messina at all at Sienna in nineteen seventy probably nineteen

0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 1>seventy five. That was my first one. First time I

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:30.800
<v Speaker 1>saw Bruce was at the Palace Theater in Albany, May

0:20:30.800 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>of nineteen seventy eight. I was eighteen and let's see,

0:20:34.840 --> 0:20:37.239
<v Speaker 1>the first time I saw the Who at the I

0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>sawed the Who at Shay and I saw a Rolling

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Stones a thousand times, but I missed the big ones. Said,

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see Grateful Dead. I did not see uh CSN.

0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I didn't see obviously Hendricks or the Doors.

0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>I missed some of those big ones. But at least

0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 1>I saw the Who in the Rolling Stone. I don't

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:57.080
<v Speaker 1>know if you missed anything not seeing the Grateful Dead.

0:20:57.160 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Just go to a fish concert and that's basically the

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.720
<v Speaker 1>same field their dog good point. Yeah, yes, but I

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:04.560
<v Speaker 1>know there was a period there. I used to love

0:21:04.600 --> 0:21:07.560
<v Speaker 1>those concerts, and I kind of wish I was around

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.320
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen sixty nine because I would have ventured the Bethel,

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.080
<v Speaker 1>New York, and I would have been put out a

0:21:12.080 --> 0:21:16.399
<v Speaker 1>half a million flong there with woodstock. Anyway, where do

0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>you stay? Where did you stand? On the Jordan documentary? Oh?

0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I loved it. I mean I understand that he had

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.879
<v Speaker 1>finals say and everything else. I mean I loved it.

0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I thought the ker one in episode nine was superb

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:31.760
<v Speaker 1>with his father. You know, I thought the Pistons stuff

0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 1>was great. I did a lot of shows based on

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:36.400
<v Speaker 1>that on the Monday with guests, you know, I did

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Rod Thorn after the first one with the and Lockery

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.760
<v Speaker 1>his first coach. I did. That's two I did Kevin,

0:21:43.800 --> 0:21:46.879
<v Speaker 1>I did Sapuca. You know, he wasn't on the Bad Boys,

0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.840
<v Speaker 1>but he knows the players. I did that. I mean,

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.119
<v Speaker 1>I did Bang Gundy with the Knicks, you know, with

0:21:52.240 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 1>the whole Nick thing. So I based a lot of

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:56.720
<v Speaker 1>my shows, and I know you did the same. On

0:21:56.760 --> 0:21:59.919
<v Speaker 1>the Monday off the Jordan documentary, I had the director on.

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I know you did too, So I based a lot

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:05.040
<v Speaker 1>of it on that show. These shows that we have

0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to do now without anything to talk about, and the

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Jordan documentary gave me a lot of content. And you know,

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:14.280
<v Speaker 1>you and I lived at My kids loved it. My

0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.439
<v Speaker 1>eighteen year old and my twenty year old, who are

0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:20.720
<v Speaker 1>huge basketball fans, didn't see Jordan play. Couldn't get enough

0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of it Sunday at nine o'clock. So that tells you

0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 1>how good it was in my eyes. Would we allow

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that player to exist today on and off the court.

0:22:30.320 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Probably not, you know, as far as you know, being

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.720
<v Speaker 1>rough to his teammates and you know sort of the

0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, not saying anything. With the racial injustice going on,

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a little different. Today. The game would be a

0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.919
<v Speaker 1>little different too. I mean, he'd probably be better because

0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:46.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, they wouldn't be able to bang him around

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:48.639
<v Speaker 1>so much, and you wouldn't be able to do some

0:22:48.720 --> 0:22:52.440
<v Speaker 1>of the things Detroit did and and the Knicks did.

0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh and you know I did. Bob Wenzel. Two, here's

0:22:55.080 --> 0:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a good story that you'll like, Danny before we do

0:22:56.840 --> 0:23:00.560
<v Speaker 1>the baseball. I had wenzelon because he pruded him. He

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.120
<v Speaker 1>was a duke with Bill Foster when Jordan was coming

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.520
<v Speaker 1>out of high school and I asked Wensel about it,

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and the first time he saw him at the five

0:23:07.280 --> 0:23:10.360
<v Speaker 1>star camps everything else. And Wenzel went to South Carolina

0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>after the duke days at eighty with Foster and he

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:16.200
<v Speaker 1>recruited Jordan and I said, really, well, tell me, He said, yeah,

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.120
<v Speaker 1>I got him to go to campus. Two. His parents

0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:22.200
<v Speaker 1>came to Columbia, and it's funny. We went to the

0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 1>governor's house, his mansion, and he had a basketball court,

0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:28.840
<v Speaker 1>and all Jordan wanted to do was the seventeen year

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.440
<v Speaker 1>old was take the governor's kids out and play basketball

0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:35.119
<v Speaker 1>in the basketball court hunt a governor's mansion. He listened,

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:38.120
<v Speaker 1>in my eyes, it's not even close he's the best

0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>player of all time in my house. We're talking to

0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Chris mad Dog Russo, host of High Heat on MLB

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Network of course, mad Dog Radio, Sirius XM. We're gonna

0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.520
<v Speaker 1>have baseball, Yeah, I think we'll Yeah. I think we're

0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna have baseball then. Man, I don't think it's going

0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:55.840
<v Speaker 1>to be a Kumbaya moment necessarily, and I think that's

0:23:55.880 --> 0:23:59.640
<v Speaker 1>what baseball needed, was none of this mistrust with these

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:03.160
<v Speaker 1>negotiations right now and come out and play July fourth

0:24:03.520 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>with an eighty game season. I think that moment is passed.

0:24:07.359 --> 0:24:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're gonna have that. Obviously, you can't

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>get ready for July fourth. These sides. There's a lot

0:24:11.680 --> 0:24:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of mistrust here. I think they figure something out, but

0:24:15.880 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the moment where they can sort of bring

0:24:18.000 --> 0:24:21.879
<v Speaker 1>back America sports wise has passed, which is unfortunate. I

0:24:21.920 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think somebody's going to have to be the big boy

0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:26.840
<v Speaker 1>in the room. Somebody's going to have to realize that,

0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what, for the good of the world, we're

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:30.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to come out and play even if we

0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:32.520
<v Speaker 1>have a deal we don't like. And I think that

0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:34.639
<v Speaker 1>person is going to have to be the commissioner. I

0:24:34.640 --> 0:24:36.479
<v Speaker 1>don't think the players are going to budge you up this.

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:44.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the owners are gonna sit there and

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be very happy about giving up. Obviously, with no fans

0:24:47.840 --> 0:24:50.600
<v Speaker 1>giving up, you know, certain concessions as far as playing

0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>X amount of games without any fans, they're gonna lose money.

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.199
<v Speaker 1>So it's going to be up to the commissioner basically

0:24:55.200 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 1>throw the bone to the players, allow them to get

0:24:58.119 --> 0:25:01.879
<v Speaker 1>the full rated hey for the amount of games. And

0:25:01.920 --> 0:25:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he's gonna have to say not fifty games

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>because people are not gonna like that. But I think

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna have to sit there and say, all right,

0:25:07.720 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll play a sixty five seventy games schedule. We'll start

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:14.439
<v Speaker 1>July tenth, July twelfth, and away we go with pay

0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.879
<v Speaker 1>them full rate. I think that as we're on the

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 1>way too. As far as this negotiation is concerned, Yeah,

0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.479
<v Speaker 1>my concern is not this year as much as it

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>is down the road when you get this clicked bargaining agreement.

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.479
<v Speaker 1>If I'm the players, and now all of a sudden

0:25:27.480 --> 0:25:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you get this feeling of they want to control us

0:25:29.480 --> 0:25:32.440
<v Speaker 1>with a salary cap, and you just start to hear

0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:35.399
<v Speaker 1>things where and baseball is not about it's about the

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:37.120
<v Speaker 1>haves and the have nots. I mean we talk about

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Trout and Bryce Harper. They make all this money.

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:43.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, the majority of your baseball union is making

0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:46.920
<v Speaker 1>a million or less, and it feels like the owners

0:25:46.920 --> 0:25:48.959
<v Speaker 1>are sort of catering to them to say, hey, we

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:51.399
<v Speaker 1>want you guys to get paid, but these big ticket

0:25:51.480 --> 0:25:53.960
<v Speaker 1>items don't want to come back your thoughts on me,

0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that was the I was the pay scale scenario,

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.520
<v Speaker 1>which I think you know didn't sit well with the players.

0:26:00.560 --> 0:26:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I think your original point is one hundred percent right.

0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I think we got major problems after the two thousand

0:26:06.119 --> 0:26:09.080
<v Speaker 1>and twenty one season and at the agreements up in

0:26:09.200 --> 0:26:13.280
<v Speaker 1>December of that year. And I'd be shocked if you're

0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a lot of baseball right away after two

0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:19.159
<v Speaker 1>thousand and twenty one. I can see a long dispute.

0:26:19.440 --> 0:26:22.120
<v Speaker 1>This is another reason why if Manford gives them, throws

0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.920
<v Speaker 1>him a bone here, gives them a win. We never

0:26:25.000 --> 0:26:28.080
<v Speaker 1>They got beat badly in that last CBA and everybody

0:26:28.160 --> 0:26:30.600
<v Speaker 1>knows it. So if he gives them a win, maybe

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:34.159
<v Speaker 1>that soothes them, you know, bitterness, and they get a

0:26:34.160 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 1>little something done after two thousand and twenty one. But

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 1>I do think you're one thousand percent right. I think

0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:42.000
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and twenty two baseball, you know it's gonna

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:44.240
<v Speaker 1>have some issues. We're not there yet, obviously, and I

0:26:44.240 --> 0:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>got to get through this season first. I do think

0:26:46.680 --> 0:26:48.880
<v Speaker 1>you have a year. I don't think you're gonna have fans.

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 1>And I do think that they need to not jam

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:56.040
<v Speaker 1>these games down to twelve. We're gonna play fifty games.

0:26:56.080 --> 0:26:58.680
<v Speaker 1>That's it. They can't say that. They got to make

0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:01.480
<v Speaker 1>the players feel at least have them buy in a bit.

0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:03.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's why I think man from will be the

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.879
<v Speaker 1>guy who'll be the big guy in the room. You know, Listen,

0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm used the pro owner and I am here too,

0:27:09.200 --> 0:27:11.280
<v Speaker 1>But I'll say two things that bother the man. I'll

0:27:11.359 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 1>use it from both sides. I don't want to hear

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:16.120
<v Speaker 1>from Bildwit. I don't want to hear from Tom Ricketts,

0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 1>who's said some things. I don't want to hear the

0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:21.199
<v Speaker 1>guy from Arizona who went on radio station saying, you know,

0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:22.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't have as much money as you think. I

0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear from them. Because the ticket refund policy,

0:27:26.320 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you got to go through page fifty eight to get

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:30.840
<v Speaker 1>your money back with the ticket refunds, which is a

0:27:30.960 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>display standing. I mean, we know you're not gonna play games,

0:27:34.280 --> 0:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>give the money back, and a lot of these teams

0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the maneuver ring, which I can't stand. So I don't

0:27:38.160 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>want to hear from them. But I also don't want

0:27:39.880 --> 0:27:42.800
<v Speaker 1>to hear from the players, who you know gonna tell

0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:46.000
<v Speaker 1>me on two things, Well, we are taking extraordinary risk

0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:48.400
<v Speaker 1>by playing games. Well if that's the case, well then

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.240
<v Speaker 1>why was your proposals one hundred and fourteen games? They

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 1>want more games, So you can't tell me it's a

0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.000
<v Speaker 1>health risk if you want to play one hundred and

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>fourteen games. And then I want to hear the players

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.679
<v Speaker 1>shun doolittle, tell me what we're doing is for the

0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 1>future player who comes into the sport. That's why there's

0:28:02.280 --> 0:28:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta saying they want to know who Kurt Flood was

0:28:05.080 --> 0:28:07.479
<v Speaker 1>if they fell on them from crying out loud. So

0:28:07.600 --> 0:28:09.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to hear from the owners about, you know,

0:28:09.600 --> 0:28:11.959
<v Speaker 1>how broke they are. And I don't want to hear

0:28:11.960 --> 0:28:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the players telling me that Norma Rae and Samuel Copper's

0:28:15.320 --> 0:28:17.840
<v Speaker 1>none of them care about the future player and the

0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.640
<v Speaker 1>owner doesn't care. Nobody, you know, and look at Atlanta

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:23.120
<v Speaker 1>for instance. You know that I got that beautiful ballpark.

0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Have you been with that village around that ballpark in Atlanta? Yes,

0:28:27.359 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 1>they got shops, restaurants, and I'm sure Liberty Media and

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>they own serious so I gotta be careful. I'm sure

0:28:36.520 --> 0:28:40.160
<v Speaker 1>Lifty Media got some bibs those businesses around the ballpark.

0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Nobody wins. The bottom line, it's a mess. The whole

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.120
<v Speaker 1>thing's a message. When you first started out, when you

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're people are saying, well, you got a voice

0:28:48.680 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that sounds like I think it was George Vessie. At

0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the Times, it was a combination Jerry Lewis, Archie Bunker

0:28:54.800 --> 0:28:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and Daffy Duck. Now this is in the New York

0:28:57.480 --> 0:29:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Times that they're saying this, what did do you let

0:29:00.520 --> 0:29:03.880
<v Speaker 1>him in too? If you ever seen that one appearance,

0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 1>I didn't let him in the first one. He spent

0:29:06.880 --> 0:29:10.760
<v Speaker 1>seven minutes making fun of my voice. Look, honey, that

0:29:10.840 --> 0:29:14.320
<v Speaker 1>gave Donald Duck a show, and I was just famous line. Yeah,

0:29:14.360 --> 0:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you're right, that voice, you know it has always it

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 1>served me, well, why don't you get used to it?

0:29:19.840 --> 0:29:21.920
<v Speaker 1>But you know, here's the key, Dan, you know this

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you did. You have to be able to make fun

0:29:24.360 --> 0:29:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of yourself a little bit. And so you know, listen,

0:29:28.040 --> 0:29:29.760
<v Speaker 1>make fun of me all you want. Just put the

0:29:29.840 --> 0:29:32.880
<v Speaker 1>radio tuned into all the stations I worked at all

0:29:32.920 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 1>these years. Do you remember your first show that you

0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that you and Mike co host? Yeah? Oh I did. Yeah,

0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I remember the first show I've ever I ever did

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 1>as a talk show was in Jacksonville and eighty three

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and the boss his son, worked with me on a

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Saturday morning. He was in March of eighty three and

0:29:50.360 --> 0:29:52.600
<v Speaker 1>he was a big wrestling fan. So that was a disaster.

0:29:53.960 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I'll be talking Rick Flair, who I had no idea

0:29:56.120 --> 0:30:00.520
<v Speaker 1>who it was. The first show, the first show with

0:30:00.640 --> 0:30:04.800
<v Speaker 1>Mike was in Labor Day at eighty nine and Brandon

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Steiner of Steiner's Sports brought over sweaters to you know,

0:30:09.920 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 1>basically inaugurate the first Mike and the Meddog show and

0:30:14.600 --> 0:30:18.160
<v Speaker 1>all the F A N employees were in the studio

0:30:18.600 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 1>watching Mike and I start on at the day after

0:30:22.040 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Labor Day. I remember that was right after Bartie Monti died.

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:26.480
<v Speaker 1>So you know, we had you know, we had the

0:30:26.600 --> 0:30:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Rose thing, and we had many. So we had something,

0:30:29.440 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, a terrible story, but we had a big

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.120
<v Speaker 1>topic right out of the gate. But that is where

0:30:34.480 --> 0:30:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I remember. It was the day after Labor Day and

0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:43.360
<v Speaker 1>it was nineteen eighty nine match day and nobody had

0:30:43.480 --> 0:30:45.640
<v Speaker 1>We had never done a show together. We didn't know

0:30:45.760 --> 0:30:48.680
<v Speaker 1>each other that well. Franklin had screwed up his contract,

0:30:48.760 --> 0:30:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the late Pete Franklin, and he left, and Mark Mason

0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.080
<v Speaker 1>decided to throw Mike and me on together, and you

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:56.520
<v Speaker 1>know it was it was a different time. Were you

0:30:56.600 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 1>doing Sports Enterne and nine? By the way, with Over,

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I think I just got there. I had left CNN.

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't start with Keith until a few years in

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 1>so because we used to have you want It. You

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 1>remember at the Super Bowl. Yeah, you were always the

0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.960
<v Speaker 1>first guest all a week or NBA Finals. I remember

0:31:12.120 --> 0:31:16.640
<v Speaker 1>NBA Finals that I don't ninety three Phoenix had. Yeah,

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, we did the Chicago Phoenix. Oh. All the

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 1>time you used that you were a big Mike and

0:31:21.440 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a mad Dog fan and you came on constantly. Yeah,

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought you were on right around the same time

0:31:26.120 --> 0:31:28.240
<v Speaker 1>we were. So you started with Open a little later. Well,

0:31:28.280 --> 0:31:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember telling you that you were working weekends at

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:34.200
<v Speaker 1>the Fan, and I was peeling off wallpaper in my

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:37.560
<v Speaker 1>house in West Hartford, and I was listening to Dog

0:31:37.680 --> 0:31:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and my wife goes, who is that and how did

0:31:40.840 --> 0:31:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he get that job? And I said, that's mad Dog

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Russo and she goes that voice and I said, yeah,

0:31:49.400 --> 0:31:52.080
<v Speaker 1>I said, but that is it's different than other voices.

0:31:52.280 --> 0:31:56.240
<v Speaker 1>But the first guy I ever worked for was Jane Burns,

0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:58.480
<v Speaker 1>who was a great talk to your host who passed away.

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:00.560
<v Speaker 1>He worked at the r KO and Ball Austin Oar

0:32:00.640 --> 0:32:04.920
<v Speaker 1>in New York, and he hired me at KS in Orlando.

0:32:04.960 --> 0:32:07.200
<v Speaker 1>So did Mike Guyer who's passed away too. He was

0:32:07.200 --> 0:32:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a gym and guy Or put Bob Trumping on here

0:32:09.680 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in Cincinnati have to Trump he retired, he gave him

0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 1>a sports talk show on LW and Cincinnati, so he

0:32:14.840 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>knew sports talk stuff. And they said the same thing, Chris, Listen,

0:32:18.280 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>your voice is a problem, especially in Central Florida or

0:32:20.840 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a New Yorker. It's gonna take some getting used to,

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but you know you've got a goofy delivery. Screw up

0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 1>all the languages and all the words they want. Just

0:32:30.160 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 1>just go on there and do a sports talk show,

0:32:32.840 --> 0:32:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and we'll see what happens. You know, it's funny. The

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:38.640
<v Speaker 1>inaugural I went down to Orlando in eighty three to

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.800
<v Speaker 1>do two shows on the weekend as sort of you know,

0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:45.080
<v Speaker 1>audition shows because they were looking to hire a sports

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 1>talk guy during the week And the first day I

0:32:47.160 --> 0:32:49.000
<v Speaker 1>went down there, they put me on Sunday Night eight

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to ten. I did not get one call. So if

0:32:53.000 --> 0:32:57.400
<v Speaker 1>you can do Sunday Night in Orlando, Florida in nineteen,

0:32:57.640 --> 0:33:00.280
<v Speaker 1>this would have been in eighty four, in nine day

0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.000

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:33.160
<v Speaker 1>at legal zoom dot Com mclovin, what's the poll question?

0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:35.920
<v Speaker 1>This is an oldie bedgody. We've done this one before

0:34:36.040 --> 0:34:39.040
<v Speaker 1>with the Charles Schwab Challenge being such a big tournament.

0:34:39.320 --> 0:34:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Would you rather win five regular golf tournaments in a

0:34:42.480 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>year or just one major? So I'll go five to

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 1>one race here? Oh, okay, what's the major? It doesn't

0:34:48.719 --> 0:34:53.440
<v Speaker 1>matter because well, I'll take the Masters. I can't guarantee

0:34:53.480 --> 0:34:55.839
<v Speaker 1>you the Masters. It's got the dice. You might get

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:59.200
<v Speaker 1>the PGA. Oh, but you don't know what. I'll just

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 1>give you one major. I can't give you the Masters. Okay,

0:35:03.560 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>but at the end of the day, they count majors,

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. I know PGA is the same. Yeah, But

0:35:10.520 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 1>if I won the Players Championship as party, can I

0:35:13.080 --> 0:35:15.399
<v Speaker 1>pick my five events that I'm going to win If

0:35:15.440 --> 0:35:16.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to win a major, I tell you

0:35:17.080 --> 0:35:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the casual fan. I know the TPC is a big deal,

0:35:19.680 --> 0:35:21.840
<v Speaker 1>but it's still not a major though. Oh I know.

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:24.880
<v Speaker 1>But if I can win the Players Championship, which is

0:35:24.920 --> 0:35:27.279
<v Speaker 1>as close as we have to another major, and I

0:35:27.320 --> 0:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>get four other events that I can pick when I'm winning,

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:34.600
<v Speaker 1>then I would probably do that. Okay, instead of checking

0:35:34.640 --> 0:35:36.799
<v Speaker 1>my chance that I'm going to win the PGA, I

0:35:36.880 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 1>just ripped four pieces of paper and put the US Open,

0:35:40.200 --> 0:35:43.799
<v Speaker 1>British Open, PGA, and Masters, saw sprinkle them up, and

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>then Seaton picked one out, so that would be the

0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>one you'd have. Okay, what's the one I'm winning? And

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>here we go, big drum roll, And the major that

0:35:51.880 --> 0:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I am winning is Master's Champion den pick. Yes, thank you,

0:35:56.840 --> 0:36:01.200
<v Speaker 1>thank you. That's worth the gamble. I'll take it. I'll

0:36:01.239 --> 0:36:05.240
<v Speaker 1>take the Masters over five tournament events, but only that.

0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:07.160
<v Speaker 1>That'd be the only event I would take. Is this

0:36:07.200 --> 0:36:09.319
<v Speaker 1>one gonna be a little elevated since it's the first

0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:12.719
<v Speaker 1>one back? Oh? Yes, well it's elevated because for a

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:16.279
<v Speaker 1>variety of reasons, the placement in the sports calendar here,

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the weather and everything else that's going to be surrounding

0:36:19.960 --> 0:36:22.880
<v Speaker 1>it at the time, with our fans going to be

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 1>allowed to go to Augusta by then, yeah, I don't

0:36:26.120 --> 0:36:29.440
<v Speaker 1>know where we're going to be in September, Like if

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.799
<v Speaker 1>you look where we've been in the last three months

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:34.640
<v Speaker 1>to where we're going to be in three months from now,

0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:38.320
<v Speaker 1>That's what I wondered about this with the NBA. I

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>don't know if people are surprised like I am. It

0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:43.799
<v Speaker 1>felt like and I was giving the Commissioner Silver a

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:45.759
<v Speaker 1>lot of credit. It's like, hey, they got it all

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.760
<v Speaker 1>buttoned up. Seems like everybody's on the same page. Nothing's

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:51.279
<v Speaker 1>leaked out. You got Chris Paul and some of the

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.560
<v Speaker 1>powerbrokers involved in this, and then all of a sudden

0:36:54.600 --> 0:36:56.759
<v Speaker 1>they go in, we're going to start in Orlando, and

0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.280
<v Speaker 1>this is what it means, and you can't get out

0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of the bubble, and you're going to be down there

0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.640
<v Speaker 1>as much as three months. If your team continues to win.

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Then all of a sudden, you go, oh, here's a report.

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Forty to fifty players not quite sure if they want

0:37:11.840 --> 0:37:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to go to Orlando. I'm going wait a minute, how

0:37:14.960 --> 0:37:18.040
<v Speaker 1>does that happen that you don't realize that forty to

0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty players, which is a lot in the NBA, considering

0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:24.080
<v Speaker 1>you have twenty two teams. If you do the math,

0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I got forty or fifty players who aren't quite sure

0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:28.720
<v Speaker 1>if they want to go through this. And the better

0:37:28.760 --> 0:37:31.319
<v Speaker 1>you are, the longer you play, the longer you're quarantine. There.

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:37.440
<v Speaker 1>My point is, let's say we get to September. Why

0:37:37.480 --> 0:37:40.399
<v Speaker 1>don't we look at the Eastern Conference Western Conference? Are

0:37:40.440 --> 0:37:43.320
<v Speaker 1>we going to be able to hold those in the arenas?

0:37:43.560 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 1>With these two teams that are in the Eastern Conference

0:37:46.080 --> 0:37:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Finals in the Western Conference Finals? Why do I have

0:37:49.400 --> 0:37:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to have Orlando as the be all end all if

0:37:52.640 --> 0:37:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you want to start there? Can I get to September

0:37:56.560 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 1>and then I have the Western Conference Finals. Let's say

0:37:59.400 --> 0:38:04.319
<v Speaker 1>it's the Lakers and Rockets, and those two teams are

0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:07.359
<v Speaker 1>going to be going back and forth chartered planes, no

0:38:07.440 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 1>fans in the arena, But now I have a true

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>home court advantage, the travel is controlled. I just think

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:18.640
<v Speaker 1>we're trying to solve everything in the moment instead of

0:38:18.680 --> 0:38:21.440
<v Speaker 1>looking at this big picture. Where are we going to

0:38:21.520 --> 0:38:24.160
<v Speaker 1>be in three months? Are we going to have fans?

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:26.480
<v Speaker 1>How many fans? Where are we going to be? Is

0:38:26.520 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>there another wave of the coronavirus? Maybe there's none, But

0:38:31.160 --> 0:38:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that's the plan that I would want to have. If

0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Toronto plays Philadelphia for the Eastern Conference Finals, or Milwaukee

0:38:38.120 --> 0:38:42.239
<v Speaker 1>or whoever it is, Milwaukee to Toronto, Toronto to Milwaukee,

0:38:42.320 --> 0:38:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it's not that far. Now. When we get to the

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:49.399
<v Speaker 1>NBA Finals, that'll be a little trickier. But you have

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.879
<v Speaker 1>private planes, private hotels, and if no fans are there,

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:58.040
<v Speaker 1>then at least I have a home court advantage. Then

0:38:58.080 --> 0:39:02.160
<v Speaker 1>at least there's we've played this season for something, the

0:39:02.280 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>regular season, and that's a home court advantage. And I

0:39:05.560 --> 0:39:08.120
<v Speaker 1>think that that's important, but I don't want to I

0:39:08.160 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 1>just don't want it under one umbrella where we go, Yeah,

0:39:10.920 --> 0:39:13.879
<v Speaker 1>and this is gonna work. Everybody's gonna be here for

0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 1>three and a half months. How long before I've been

0:39:17.520 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>in Orlando going to Disney World with the kids. That

0:39:21.239 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 1>wears off after about four days. I want to go home.

0:39:25.480 --> 0:39:29.040
<v Speaker 1>After four days, Hey, glench, go outside and play with

0:39:29.040 --> 0:39:33.080
<v Speaker 1>the kids in the pool. Okay, all right, Hey, we're

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:36.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna go back the Disney World. We're gonna go too,

0:39:36.360 --> 0:39:40.759
<v Speaker 1>and then Universal okay, and then you go, God, it's

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:44.160
<v Speaker 1>so hot. I need to go home. Yeah. See, somebody

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 1>was saying that you finally realize just how small of

0:39:46.480 --> 0:39:51.919
<v Speaker 1>a world it is. After all, it's a small that's good. Yeah.

0:39:51.960 --> 0:39:54.000
<v Speaker 1>I think that novelty's gonna wear off, and then you

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:56.719
<v Speaker 1>can't get out of the bubble, and then they're gonna

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.399
<v Speaker 1>quarantine the media. If they go, they have to stay

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:02.799
<v Speaker 1>there for three and a half months. I just think

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:06.080
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be at a point in September where

0:40:06.120 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>we would be able to travel and you could have

0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:12.720
<v Speaker 1>the Eastern Conference Western Conference Finals and have those games played.

0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:16.000
<v Speaker 1>That just my gut feeling with it. But I was

0:40:16.080 --> 0:40:18.520
<v Speaker 1>shocked when I saw the number. I think it was

0:40:18.560 --> 0:40:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Brian Windhorse, maybe it was Woad who said forty to

0:40:22.080 --> 0:40:24.799
<v Speaker 1>fifty players aren't quite sure if they want to come

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:27.080
<v Speaker 1>back and play, and if my team has no chance

0:40:27.120 --> 0:40:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of winning a championship, I don't want to go. If

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:33.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm on the if I played for San Antonio and

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:38.359
<v Speaker 1>LaMarcus Aldridge just went down with surgery, I don't want

0:40:38.360 --> 0:40:40.839
<v Speaker 1>to go to Orlando. Now you might say, well, you're

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:42.280
<v Speaker 1>only going to be there for a couple of weeks.

0:40:42.600 --> 0:40:44.799
<v Speaker 1>I got to have three weeks to get ready for

0:40:44.880 --> 0:40:47.960
<v Speaker 1>what two weeks to play? I don't I don't need

0:40:48.000 --> 0:40:51.319
<v Speaker 1>to go to Orlando. I'm good, But can I get paid? Yeah,

0:40:51.360 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Paul LaMarcus probably got voluntary surgery, a quick clean up

0:40:54.280 --> 0:40:56.439
<v Speaker 1>of the shoulder, didn't even need it. Well, you got

0:40:56.760 --> 0:41:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Bojean Mugdanovitch with the Jazz. He had risk surgery and

0:41:01.000 --> 0:41:04.279
<v Speaker 1>he's had a great year. He's down I don't know

0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:09.520
<v Speaker 1>coming up. Pete Carroll says he had a coach call

0:41:09.600 --> 0:41:13.759
<v Speaker 1>about Colin Kaepernick. Oh I didn't. Pete Carroll signed Colin

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Kaepernick and Doug Williams, the former Super Bowl winning quarterback,

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:18.239
<v Speaker 1>will join us as well.
