Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour. On this Tuesday, Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dane Stan Patrick Show chat Row trying to come up
Speaker 1: with a T shirt, and we gave them until the
Speaker 1: end of this week to vote on a T shirt.
Speaker 1: I believe there's ten different T shirts. I just went
Speaker 1: back into the control room and I talked to Tyler,
Speaker 1: the moderator who moderates the chat room, and he said,
Speaker 1: Mario's in the crosshairs because Mario apparently put ten T
Speaker 1: shirts up, but he also put two T shirts up
Speaker 1: that are basically the same T shirt. It's just a
Speaker 1: different font style. So Mario screwed up the chat row
Speaker 1: T shirt competition. Yes, eaton. Well, here's the thing. I mean,
Speaker 1: no matter what Mario did, something was going to be
Speaker 1: wrong with it, true, right, And that's not really a
Speaker 1: statement of Mario, but more just people's sort of expectations
Speaker 1: for things, because if they're say, there was sixteen submission
Speaker 1: and ten of them made it, there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: people that are upset. Yeah, but Mario put up basically
Speaker 1: the same T shirt. Okay, I know, ye have Mario's
Speaker 1: back there, Seaton, He's that stuffing the ballot box or
Speaker 1: splitting the vote, because if the same T shirt is
Speaker 1: up there twice, no, no, he just screwed up, so
Speaker 1: we have to take one down. Well, actually those votes
Speaker 1: will probably cancel each other out since they're basically the
Speaker 1: same T shirts. So oh god, all right, so vote
Speaker 1: on it by Friday. We'll come up with the T
Speaker 1: shirt for chat Row. Tyler. I went back there, and
Speaker 1: you know, Tyler is he can't say a mean thing
Speaker 1: about anybody. And you know, the big german goes, you
Speaker 1: gonna tell him, You're gonna tell him, and I go
Speaker 1: what he goes, I can't tell you, and then the
Speaker 1: big german goes, oh, just tell him. Mario put up
Speaker 1: the same T shirt, just a different version of the
Speaker 1: same T shirt, and he's getting killed. He's getting killed
Speaker 1: on chat Row. But I don't know if it's it's
Speaker 1: his fault. And I go Mark, I said, Tyler, don't
Speaker 1: worry about it. I said, you know, I'm gonna handle
Speaker 1: it with the professionalism you've come to expect on this program.
Speaker 1: And that's why we called out Mario for screwing up again.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Final Hour. We'll talk to the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve Commissioner Larry Scott will join us coming up. Major
Speaker 1: League Baseball is sending a proposal to the Players Association
Speaker 1: today for restarting sometime in July, and a lot of
Speaker 1: things still up in the air health wise, but baseball
Speaker 1: has another hurdle. The proposal reportedly includes a fifty fifty
Speaker 1: rev share for players and owners, and that translates to
Speaker 1: a salary cap, which baseball does not have. So you
Speaker 1: would think that this one season you'd be able to
Speaker 1: come up with some kind of solution so you could
Speaker 1: just come back and play baseball. If you know the
Speaker 1: history of Major League Baseball and its Players Association, it's union.
Speaker 1: It is non simple. I was around this with a
Speaker 1: couple of lockouts, strikes and dealing with the Baseball Players Union. Nightmare.
Speaker 1: But that's what they're job was and is is to
Speaker 1: protect their players, dealing with Donald fear. But this is
Speaker 1: what they did. They were you know, Marvin Miller created
Speaker 1: the Players Association, the strength in that union. He should
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame posthumous league. But you
Speaker 1: know that this is what they do. It's going to
Speaker 1: be the players versus the owners about how much money
Speaker 1: you're going to get paid. I know it doesn't look
Speaker 1: good given what's going on and people out of work,
Speaker 1: but you know, the players want to get paid, and
Speaker 1: we always talk about the players taking a pay cut.
Speaker 1: You know, the owners you might have to take a
Speaker 1: pay cut here too. But it doesn't look good. But
Speaker 1: you know these financial situations, Baseball makes a lot of
Speaker 1: money at the gate, and there's no fans, they're going
Speaker 1: to be there, and as much as we want to
Speaker 1: watch baseball and other sports, we want to know that
Speaker 1: we're going to be safe when we go there. There's hurdles.
Speaker 1: There's safety hurdles, and then there's financial hurdles that baseball
Speaker 1: is going to have to navigate and it's not going
Speaker 1: to be easy. McLevin poll question, are we gonna change
Speaker 1: it up? Since Patrick Mahomes was the runaway winner? Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first two hours was who will be the MVP?
Speaker 1: Was Mahomes and Jackson. I know you're answer to this question,
Speaker 1: but I want to ask you. For a baseball baseball
Speaker 1: has an eighty two games schedule, would you put an
Speaker 1: asterisk next to the champion? And I know you said
Speaker 1: that for MBA that it probably doesn't need an asteris,
Speaker 1: and I agree. I don't think it needs an asterisk.
Speaker 1: I given what's happening this year. No, I'm fine if
Speaker 1: we just say that, Hey, you want it in the
Speaker 1: coronavirus year, the pandemic year. I mean, I'm okay with it.
Speaker 1: It's now. The Astros have an asterisk by that. In
Speaker 1: my opinion, they have an asterisk by that. Red Sox don't,
Speaker 1: but the Astros do. If Lebron wins the title this year,
Speaker 1: it's gonna count as his fourth title, not his you know,
Speaker 1: three and a half, it'll be a fourth title. No
Speaker 1: asterisk by that. If you're playing eight, if you're playing
Speaker 1: eighty two and they're playing eighty two, then it's all
Speaker 1: the same. It's gonna be how you manage your pitching staff,
Speaker 1: like all these different things. This is a unique situation.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, then I'd rather you didn't have
Speaker 1: a champion than to have a champion and have an
Speaker 1: asterisk by it. I don't think that's fair to the
Speaker 1: team that wins. Everybody has a level playing field. You're
Speaker 1: going to be dealing with the same scenarios. For the
Speaker 1: most part. Travel is going to be limited. I'm okay
Speaker 1: if you don't have an asterisk I think we'll have
Speaker 1: a footnote, and that's different than an asterisk. And if
Speaker 1: you look at this, the season itself gets the asterisk,
Speaker 1: not the team, because that's different. Yeah, I mclovin, I
Speaker 1: know you mentioned the baseball strike. Nobody puts an asterisk
Speaker 1: next to eighty one when the Dodgers won because my
Speaker 1: Phillies blew it in the playoffs that year. Nobody. I'm
Speaker 1: fine with it. Yeah, two got the advantage there, no one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so this season gets the asterisk, not the team. And
Speaker 1: maybe that's semantics, but no, I I know what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: If the Lakers win, You're gonna have these critics of
Speaker 1: Lebron saying, yeah, well went a full season there, that's
Speaker 1: not really four titles for you. That's nonsense, all right.
Speaker 1: Uh So I teased that we were gonna pick. We're
Speaker 1: gonna have a snake draft for NFL MVP. What is
Speaker 1: the order here? You pick? I pick? Do you want
Speaker 1: to go first or last? Uh? It? Well, do I
Speaker 1: have to go first or last? I'll go last. I
Speaker 1: don't care. I mean, I got a number between one
Speaker 1: and fifty, Paulie twenty four, that's the number I was
Speaker 1: gonna take Fritzie thirty seven, thirty seven, McLevin twelve twelve, Seaton, uh,
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty three. Now you got to pick another one? Okay,
Speaker 1: seven seven? It is? How about that? Didn't did you
Speaker 1: write it down or he's just in your head? No?
Speaker 1: Because I thought, well, nobody's closed. Well did you see
Speaker 1: how long this is gonna take? Yes? I went yes, seven, Right,
Speaker 1: let's have a number of draft set. It could have
Speaker 1: been between one and fifty and Seaton could have said
Speaker 1: fifty two, and I said, you're right, yes, Um, it's Seaton, mclovin, Paulie,
Speaker 1: then Fritzie, Seaton, and then me. All right, see your
Speaker 1: your first pick is Patrick Mahomes. Oh wow, that's incredible man,
Speaker 1: How did you do that? Yeah? Yeah, all right mclovin.
Speaker 1: My pick is Tom Brady, and I'm calling it to
Speaker 1: Mike Evans effect if he could make Johnny Manzela Heisman winner,
Speaker 1: he can Tom Brady and MVP again. All right, Polly
Speaker 1: Ester Carson Wentz all right, fritzl Ja, I think I'm
Speaker 1: gonna steal one of yours to Shawn Watson. All right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Russell Wilson Junior the third and a
Speaker 1: motivated Aaron Rodgers. He's really motivated because they drafted Jordan Love.
Speaker 1: Chip on the shoulder. Yeah, that'll It's hard to throw
Speaker 1: with a chip on your shoulder. I just say him.
Speaker 1: Who's next, Fritzy? Yeah, I'm gonna grab Drew Brees. I
Speaker 1: think he still has something to prove it and want
Speaker 1: to get one more super bowler. Thank you to Who's next?
Speaker 1: Polly Baker Mayfield? Yeah, I like McLeman I go way
Speaker 1: off the board, Teddy Bridgewater because a Joe Brady as
Speaker 1: his coordinator. And Carolina God, Saucy. That's not that's saucy.
Speaker 1: It's always someone that out of the Palu like that. No,
Speaker 1: that's saucy. I mean that's crazy. A team. Team's not
Speaker 1: any good. That's a problem. I will say this though,
Speaker 1: you did take a chance, and I like that. Seeton O'Connor.
Speaker 1: With the last pick in the NFL draft, anybody take
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson still on the board. Ye, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: taking him. That's it. I'm done, first and last pick.
Speaker 1: I got the third round. No, no two, you said
Speaker 1: two rounds. No, we're done. I'm good. Two A Tonga
Speaker 1: Blo agree to his deal. Is he the first to
Speaker 1: agree to his deal? A rookie deal that was kind
Speaker 1: of quick about his parents? And Escalade? Actually, his parents
Speaker 1: agreed to the deal careful so to his parents said,
Speaker 1: we accepted to have found out at the same time
Speaker 1: we did. And two he's probably watching the bottom line.
Speaker 1: And two a tongablo he signed his rookie deal. And Escalade,
Speaker 1: Oh wait, there you go, u On. You signed with
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and you bought your mom and Escala his
Speaker 1: parents surprised him by giving them. He did look like
Speaker 1: he was more surprised than that. And his Jersey sales
Speaker 1: are second I think behind Tom Brady. Yeah. McClellan, I'm
Speaker 1: not confused though. I mean, he comes from Alabama. Is
Speaker 1: there enough room in his garage from multiple escalators? Wow? Wait?
Speaker 1: What wait? What are you doing? I would not you
Speaker 1: did separate that from Dan Patrick that way? I know
Speaker 1: where did that come from? It just gave them one
Speaker 1: of his extra escalators. McClean, Where did that come from?
Speaker 1: A certain fan basis you don't want to go with well,
Speaker 1: you just think of fancy cars that you immediately think
Speaker 1: of college recruitment and the SMU stuff, and you, yeah,
Speaker 1: you usually buy a house for somebody, not a car.
Speaker 1: Remember when I came back from I think I was.
Speaker 1: I was on the road with hooting the Blowfish this
Speaker 1: past year, and I remember we were talking to some people.
Speaker 1: They were going to a football game, and they told
Speaker 1: us that a certain former player used to pull up
Speaker 1: to the restaurant and just park his car. There was
Speaker 1: no parking in front. He would just park his car
Speaker 1: in front of this restaurant and he would just he
Speaker 1: would leave it running, and then he like he basically
Speaker 1: did whatever he wanted to do. Had this beautiful car
Speaker 1: in school colors. Everybody knew it was his car. I
Speaker 1: don't need to say any names, but yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just like he pulled up and everybody knew that it
Speaker 1: was his car. It might had a vanity license plate too,
Speaker 1: with his jersey number. Yeah, mcklevin, did you have a
Speaker 1: college teammate who got a car? I mean he got
Speaker 1: a used car. That's how bad my college basketball team was.
Speaker 1: Like one of the guys, the freshman who came in,
Speaker 1: he got a used car. These are probably the cars
Speaker 1: that the Kentucky basketball players got. And then they moved
Speaker 1: to their second car, and then maybe there was just
Speaker 1: a like a secondary car lot that led to you know,
Speaker 1: basketball recruits like the Kentucky basketball players probably got nice cars.
Speaker 1: Where I went to school at Eastern Kentucky. I remember
Speaker 1: that one of these guys showed up. It was like
Speaker 1: a money a used Monty money Carlo. Oh, we were
Speaker 1: a big time there. Tommy and Alabama joins us. Hey, Tommy,
Speaker 1: what do you have for me? Hey? Tom Hey, tom
Speaker 1: oh Hey Tom. Brian and Texas joins us, Danett Hi,
Speaker 1: Brian tyther Hey. I was just going to comment on
Speaker 1: the value of the Jordans tennis shoes, okay, and how
Speaker 1: Seaton said the k Cobain guitar went for like around
Speaker 1: a million dollars. Well, you know that whenever the artist
Speaker 1: or whoever died about you, that's just skyrockets. So if
Speaker 1: you bought those Jordan's shoes now age dependent dot dot
Speaker 1: do the math, you could easily double, maybe triple your investment. Yeah,
Speaker 1: kind of a morbid thought though, thank you. Ryan. Hey,
Speaker 1: Let's make an investment and then wait for Michael Jordan
Speaker 1: to die. You know people will do that in the
Speaker 1: art world. They will buy art with somebody who gets
Speaker 1: up there in age knowing that when they die that
Speaker 1: your investment probably doubles. But it's kind of a weird
Speaker 1: science they have of following like how old is is he?
Speaker 1: In good health? They're going, oh, all right, that's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. Peter and Virginia joins us, Hey, Pete, what
Speaker 1: do you have for me today? Well, gentlemen, good morning,
Speaker 1: good afternoon, six four A frisky two seventy. I have
Speaker 1: a different take on this whole Lebron asterix thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what if Kevin Durant comes back, Kyrie comes back and
Speaker 1: they win the championship when Kevin Durant wasn't even supposed
Speaker 1: to play this season? Do they get an asterisk because
Speaker 1: the season got extended? But I do think if it
Speaker 1: does come back and everybody is healthy, it'll be a
Speaker 1: great end to the basketball season. I'll shut up and listen,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Peter. Kevin Durant's not coming back
Speaker 1: to play, just letting you know he's not coming back Kyrie. Okay, Kevin, No,
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I don't the season gets the asterisk,
Speaker 1: not the team whoever wins. I'm fine with that because
Speaker 1: who got an advantage here? Now you could say, well,
Speaker 1: Brooklyn got an advantage because you know that the season
Speaker 1: continues and Kevin Durant has been out this whole time.
Speaker 1: All right, if that was the case, then maybe you
Speaker 1: would look at that and go, all right, we'll put
Speaker 1: an asterisk by it because they benefited from the season,
Speaker 1: not you know, taking place in Kevin Durant wasn't playing,
Speaker 1: but Kevin Durant's not coming back. Yeah, Paul, I have
Speaker 1: a wild MVP stat for you. You want it, well,
Speaker 1: it's saucy. Yeah. Russell Wilson has never received a single
Speaker 1: MVP vote during his career, not one in seven years.
Speaker 1: He will this year. There's a lot of people who
Speaker 1: have gotten votes. His teammate Bobby Wagner got a vote,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, Carson Wentz, rom Tony Dungee voted for Bobby Wagner.
Speaker 1: I think for MVP, I think so. Yeah. I was
Speaker 1: going to ask you how many times has Russ finished
Speaker 1: in the top five for the MVPI. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's ever finished in anything not first place votes. I
Speaker 1: don't second, third place now we're checking the voting, but
Speaker 1: never gotten a first place vote. Wow, yeah, mclen even
Speaker 1: last year, remember everybody had him in second for MVP.
Speaker 1: Right behind Lamar. I think we talked about it. He
Speaker 1: had an amazing year. I thought he was in the
Speaker 1: MVP combot big time. Last Well, what happened is Russ
Speaker 1: was great and then Lamar took over, and then he
Speaker 1: left everybody in his wake. I think that's what happened.
Speaker 1: I am shocked that. I think it could be geographical
Speaker 1: bias with Russ, you know, being in Seattle, and you know,
Speaker 1: every time we watch a game there, we're like, oh,
Speaker 1: what great atmosphere, and then you sort of forget about
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. If they were in a in a bigger
Speaker 1: media market, then maybe Russ would get If he was
Speaker 1: playing in LA doing what he's doing, then I think
Speaker 1: it would be different. But you know, he might go
Speaker 1: his entire career of you know, being underrated. He's gonna
Speaker 1: be a Hall of Famer. But I find that amazing
Speaker 1: that he hasn't received a first place MVP vote unless
Speaker 1: you got, well, Mahomes was unanimus, what wasn't he? I
Speaker 1: think both Lamar and Mahomes may be un Yeah, well
Speaker 1: that'll hurt. That'll hurt you when it comes to get
Speaker 1: an MVP vote. Maybe maybe maybe he gets he gets
Speaker 1: some love this year maybe, yeah, yes, Jackson received every
Speaker 1: vote and was a second straight you n asked whether
Speaker 1: and the second ever? Okay, but never a vote. That's
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. Ye. Well, it sounds like they don't have
Speaker 1: second place votes, so that's sort of by by nature
Speaker 1: kind of screws up the whole thing. But having one
Speaker 1: first place vote, like I'm just saying, a first place
Speaker 1: vote PAULI was talking about, he hasn't received any consideration there,
Speaker 1: but I'd like to know has he ever? You know,
Speaker 1: all those other years when he had other MVPs, he
Speaker 1: didn't even get one vote. But how many people vote
Speaker 1: on the MVPI. I have fifty? Okay, so those are
Speaker 1: the pro football writers. Yeah, it's usually out of fifty
Speaker 1: votes basically. Okay, it's like mclevitsat's all or nothing. You
Speaker 1: either get MVP votter you don't. Man, All right, well,
Speaker 1: that's our campaign, is to get Russell and Wilson June
Speaker 1: the third and MVP. That guy caught a brain. All right,
Speaker 1: We'll take a break. We'll talk to the Commissioner of
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve, Larry Scott. He'll join us coming up next.
Speaker 1: It's nineteen after the hour This is the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 1: Titans will join us coming up tomorrow on the program.
Speaker 1: He's Larry Scott, the PAC twelve commissioner, which I believe
Speaker 1: he's been in that office since two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: kind enough to join us. Good morning, commissioner. How are you.
Speaker 1: I'm doing well, Dan, Good to be with you. Where
Speaker 1: do we stand with what is real and not real?
Speaker 1: As far as contingency plans of and the reason why
Speaker 1: I say this, I preface this. The NFL owners were
Speaker 1: told don't talk about hypotheticals. Have you know? Are you
Speaker 1: telling coaches let's not have hypotheticals with the PAC twelve
Speaker 1: and what we can think will be football in the fall.
Speaker 1: We we just got out of a week of meetings
Speaker 1: with our football coaches and one of the key things
Speaker 1: we were discussing is scenario planning. I think it's top
Speaker 1: of mind for everyone. Yeah, we are. We are planning
Speaker 1: a full season, planning to start on time, but you know,
Speaker 1: it's so unpredictable what's going to happen, and so we're
Speaker 1: spending a lot of time not only within our league
Speaker 1: but with our peers and the other conferences think about
Speaker 1: what is planned. BCD and he looked like, I mean,
Speaker 1: everyone is feeling some optimism at the moment. Plan A
Speaker 1: for sure is starting the season on time, getting a
Speaker 1: full season, and that's what we're working toward. But for sure,
Speaker 1: we've discussed other other options and we'll be ready if
Speaker 1: we need to move to this. How often do you
Speaker 1: talk to the other commissioners, Well, we've actually been on
Speaker 1: the phone every morning morning for me on the West coast.
Speaker 1: Since this really started escalating back in March and we
Speaker 1: had a shut down our basketball tournaments, we all jumped
Speaker 1: into coordinating what we were going to do is we
Speaker 1: realized this pandemic was escalating quickly and it could impact
Speaker 1: our basketball tournament, so we started a process. That second
Speaker 1: week in March, I was in Las Vegas at our
Speaker 1: basketball tournament there and we were all trying to calibrate
Speaker 1: and in a period of twenty four hours, it's surreal.
Speaker 1: We went from Okay, we're starting our tournaments on time
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I think we may get through this till
Speaker 1: later in the day we connected and say we might
Speaker 1: have to, you know, eliminate fans, to the next morning
Speaker 1: all deciding we're canceling our tournaments completely. That was after
Speaker 1: we saw what happened to route to go there the
Speaker 1: night before. I woke up that next morning on Wednesday,
Speaker 1: having spoke of my presidents and athletics directors, said to
Speaker 1: my fellow commissioners, could you imagine if that happened at
Speaker 1: a college basketball tournament? You saw one of our student
Speaker 1: athletes kind of visit visibly ill and kind of escorted
Speaker 1: off course, we've got a responsibility to shut this down
Speaker 1: right now. Since that time, every single weekday we've been
Speaker 1: on a phone call talking about plethora of issues we've
Speaker 1: had to deal with in terms of the shutdown. Now,
Speaker 1: how are we dealing with our student athletes in a
Speaker 1: virtual world and what does coming back look like? On
Speaker 1: what pace? And in college you know, there's not one
Speaker 1: decision maker, especially when it comes to football. We all
Speaker 1: work together on the college football playoff, the season, non
Speaker 1: conference games, bowls, neutral side games, so you know it
Speaker 1: requires an extraordinary level of coordination. If a Pac twelve
Speaker 1: school can have students on campus, can they play football.
Speaker 1: I don't believe we're going to play football if students
Speaker 1: can't be brought back safely to campus. I don't think
Speaker 1: we're going to treat student athletes or football players as
Speaker 1: some special class. I don't think we've got the ability
Speaker 1: to quarantine them and put them in a bubble the
Speaker 1: way some pro sports might. Now, what does students coming
Speaker 1: back to campus mean? It might mean different things for
Speaker 1: different schools. I've been in touch with all of our
Speaker 1: university presidents and they're all working through their own scenarios.
Speaker 1: But it's not going to be the new normal. Is
Speaker 1: not going to be the old normal. I think there's
Speaker 1: going to be hybrid situations in all likelihood in terms
Speaker 1: of class size. Maybe it's not all students coming back
Speaker 1: at once, but I do believe student athletes will be
Speaker 1: amongst the earliest groups to be allowed to come back.
Speaker 1: What I was told a couple of weeks ago by
Speaker 1: a source was that you were going to see football
Speaker 1: when it does come back that the conferences are just
Speaker 1: going to be playing conference games and it was probably
Speaker 1: going to be a ten game schedule. Now you might
Speaker 1: get one outlier where Ohio State plays Ohio University or
Speaker 1: something that's regional there. How does that jibe with what
Speaker 1: you've been told? Well, I can tell you anyone that's
Speaker 1: telling you now sitting here in the middle of May
Speaker 1: what it's going to be in there giving you the
Speaker 1: inside scoop isn't a very good source because I'm the
Speaker 1: one having the conversations with our peer conferences and presence
Speaker 1: and we don't know. But has that been discussed Just
Speaker 1: what I told you, Absolutely, that's that's you know, if
Speaker 1: we can't play a full season and get the full
Speaker 1: twelve weeks plus the postseason, that would be a natural
Speaker 1: abbreviated season. Okay, moved the conference only for us that
Speaker 1: would be nine games. And yes, as you know, as
Speaker 1: I mentioned, we got multiple scenarios. That's not what we're
Speaker 1: planning on, but that's always an option that would that
Speaker 1: would be the easiest default option, right, That's what you
Speaker 1: know schools can control, and frankly that's the priority on
Speaker 1: our schools like playing each other. But you know at
Speaker 1: the moment, we're playing on the full season. Yeah. Well
Speaker 1: that once again, my source is saying that if when
Speaker 1: college football comes back, this is what he was told,
Speaker 1: that it's going to look like you're going to have
Speaker 1: conferences playing conference games and maybe one game outside. Also,
Speaker 1: could you see a scenario where not every school is back,
Speaker 1: not every school takes part in a college football season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: of course that's possible. Each you know, president and chance Lurer,
Speaker 1: board of trustees, you know, we'll make that ultimate decision
Speaker 1: for themselves. But we've always as a league and collective lays,
Speaker 1: the five big conferences and beyond moved together. And you
Speaker 1: know there's a that's the bias everyone's got. We want
Speaker 1: to try to get a full season. If we're going
Speaker 1: to get a full football season, there's you know, three
Speaker 1: weeks and non conference games, which requires collective action. Their
Speaker 1: bowl games. The college Football Playoff is governed by the
Speaker 1: ten conferences plus Notre Dame. So we have to work
Speaker 1: together if we're going to get a full season. And
Speaker 1: it's my expectation in our league, we've always made joint
Speaker 1: decisions about how we shut down. I think we're going
Speaker 1: to make joint decisions about how we ramp back up
Speaker 1: and play. And I'm wondering who tells you, you know,
Speaker 1: is it the White House that goes down to the governors,
Speaker 1: is it the NCAA, is it chancellor's presidents? Like, Okay,
Speaker 1: is there a pecking order here, commissioner, Yeah, well, yes,
Speaker 1: we all have higher authorities that we report through, whether
Speaker 1: it's at home or at work. But yeah, in this case,
Speaker 1: it's it's actually a complicated rubric of you know, how
Speaker 1: decisions get made him. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: public health authorities will decide what it appears to me
Speaker 1: at the moment, I've been a call with the Vice President,
Speaker 1: you know, as he's tried to figure out the implications
Speaker 1: for college football, with my peers, with governor's offices and
Speaker 1: all that. It appears at the moment that these decisions
Speaker 1: have really been delegated to the states and counties, that
Speaker 1: public health officials will have the ultimate say about return
Speaker 1: to work scenarios. And that's kind of where we fit in.
Speaker 1: It's also clear that, you know, decisions will be different
Speaker 1: about when it's okay to play versus the whole issue
Speaker 1: is when fans ye can come to stay him. I
Speaker 1: think those things are getting a little bit conflated, But
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, the NFL has felt
Speaker 1: confident they could announce their schedule and that they're intending
Speaker 1: to play MLB yesterday. Has obviously felt comfortable they could
Speaker 1: announce they're going to start in July if I understood
Speaker 1: it right. And you know, I think if we get
Speaker 1: to the point we're announced we're intending to start, we
Speaker 1: would have a level of comfort with the discussions we've
Speaker 1: had directly in through our schools with public health officials
Speaker 1: that they feel comfort we've got the protocols in place,
Speaker 1: and that's you know, also probably not getting as much
Speaker 1: discussion out there as it deserves. I'm spending as much
Speaker 1: time with medical experts as I am with our coaches, athletics, directors,
Speaker 1: and presidents right now. And one of the few advantages
Speaker 1: that college has, you know, if you think about schools
Speaker 1: at our conference UCLA Stanford, Washington, we got some of
Speaker 1: the leading university hospitals and medical schools in the country.
Speaker 1: So we've got a world class medical advisory board working
Speaker 1: on this with us, and for is not just our
Speaker 1: sports doctors and trainers, but I've got heads of the
Speaker 1: infectious disease departments at some of these leading schools in
Speaker 1: the country on an advisory board helping us these protocols.
Speaker 1: These are the same people that are advising the White House,
Speaker 1: that are advising governors, that are advising other public health officials.
Speaker 1: So I feel confident that we're going to be, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of at the forefront of the health and safety
Speaker 1: protocols for our student athletes, and hopefully when if we
Speaker 1: think we're ready, that'll bring some comfort to the governors
Speaker 1: and the other public health officials that ultimately have to
Speaker 1: give us the green light. He's Larry Scott, packed twelve commissioner.
Speaker 1: Before that, a pretty good tennis player. The best player
Speaker 1: you ever played against was hu Leary John McEnroe. He
Speaker 1: was I grew up in New York on Long Island,
Speaker 1: and he was sparring partner, or I was his sparring partner.
Speaker 1: I should say that was always a lot of fun,
Speaker 1: you know, in an actual match, probably Andrea Agassi. Probably
Speaker 1: the best win I ever had was in a doubles
Speaker 1: match against him. He happened to have been fifteen years
Speaker 1: old age and I was nineteen. It's okay, you don't
Speaker 1: have to throw that in. It's okay, the record book
Speaker 1: doesn't Joe's age, so yeah, it's a w did some
Speaker 1: Macenroe ever yelling you, Oh yeah he was, you know
Speaker 1: his persona. I'm having fun a little bit watching the
Speaker 1: last dances you guys probably are and just and I'm
Speaker 1: thinking back about John and Evon Lindell, another guy used
Speaker 1: to hit with, And there's something about these these superstars
Speaker 1: in terms of the mindset, the mentality, and we've all
Speaker 1: kind of celebrated the Mamba mentality. And when I think
Speaker 1: about tennis, I think about guys like you know John
Speaker 1: MC or Jimmy Connor's um Lindell. You know, this singular
Speaker 1: focus uh perfection and getting the most out of themselves
Speaker 1: and this kind of unrelenting desire to win in and
Speaker 1: compete at everything that they would do. And I see
Speaker 1: some really fascinating similarities with these athletes that become elite
Speaker 1: and whatever sports. Yeah, but you know what, you're trap
Speaker 1: to buy yourself. There is greatness, but but those people
Speaker 1: they're like Michael Jordan is trapped. Buy Michael Jordan, like
Speaker 1: he can't get out of this. We can turn the channel,
Speaker 1: we can go on with our lives. Mike stays in
Speaker 1: this world. McEnroe stays in that world. Pete Sampras in
Speaker 1: that world. And that's something that people forget about. We
Speaker 1: can escape, they can't escape themselves. Well, there's uh, you
Speaker 1: know genius. I think in this world, whether it's in
Speaker 1: sports and otherwise, requires a type of singular focus and
Speaker 1: you know, being on a certain end of the spectrum,
Speaker 1: but doesn't always you know, make it the most well rounded.
Speaker 1: We got to spruce up your office though. That's not
Speaker 1: your man cave, is it. It's a section of my
Speaker 1: man cave. My kids. I've got three teenagers at home
Speaker 1: during this quarantine and they've taken over my man cave.
Speaker 1: When I'm not traveling. It's now a PlayStation and gaming center.
Speaker 1: So so I'm pigeonholed here in this little corner of
Speaker 1: the man came. Yeah, we got to spruce that up, though,
Speaker 1: commission gotta spruce it up a little bit, me some stuff. Yeah, Hey,
Speaker 1: good luck with this. We appreciate your time. Thank you, Larry. Thanks.
Speaker 1: That's Larry Scott, Pact twelve commissioner. Yeah. I think he
Speaker 1: went to Harvard, right, sure did. Yeah, Yeah, that seems
Speaker 1: like a really really good like if you talk about
Speaker 1: tennis at Harvard, No, the best sports gigs being a
Speaker 1: commissioner of a conference in college football, a lot of golf,
Speaker 1: a lot of good meals. You get to travel every
Speaker 1: weekend to see games. That's a good gig if you
Speaker 1: That's as good of a gig as there is in
Speaker 1: sports without playing sports. Well, I think if I'm the
Speaker 1: SEC commissioner, I feel that way just about any but
Speaker 1: like if you're Larry, if you're a PacTel commissioner, hon,
Speaker 1: I gotta run down to usc UCL this weekend. I
Speaker 1: gotta work, you know, fantastic. If you're SEC commission Auburn, Alabama,
Speaker 1: gotta go, LSU's posting whatever. Yeah, but sometimes you have
Speaker 1: to go and you don't want to go. Like the
Speaker 1: day I get sick of an SEC tailgate. M that's
Speaker 1: when the big ten commissioners like, oh, Rutgers, Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: a good point. Yeah, Okay, not every week's winter Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: well that's close to New York. Yeah, Rutgers nose. I like,
Speaker 1: how I ripped my source. My source already responded by
Speaker 1: saying it's a choice words, Like now I know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Yeah, if if we have college football.
Speaker 1: I think that's what we're having. I just think it's
Speaker 1: it's going to be conference based where there's gonna be
Speaker 1: ten games. Now, these are the things I'm telling you
Speaker 1: that you know my things in real time. So when
Speaker 1: my source said this is what's being discussed, it's not
Speaker 1: that is what's going to happen. This is what's being
Speaker 1: discussed because something could change where football doesn't get started
Speaker 1: until December, or football gets started on time, or it's
Speaker 1: just hey, we resume our regular schedule program. What I
Speaker 1: was told is this is what was being discussed when
Speaker 1: I told you this last week. This is what was
Speaker 1: being discussed. Ten game games and maybe you would have
Speaker 1: one non conference game there you could travel by bus.
Speaker 1: That's what I was told, that these are the things.
Speaker 1: And then the commissioner did say, yes, that has been discussed.
Speaker 1: So although he kind of said yeah, but that's kind
Speaker 1: of common sense basically that that's what we would do.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break here, last call for
Speaker 1: phone calls. We'll close up shop. But Fritzie s so,
Speaker 1: Mike rabel Is on tomorrow, Mike Rabels on tomorrow, okay,
Speaker 1: and Nick nurse Is on Thursday. Oh my raptors said
Speaker 1: he was good last time we had Nick Nurse on.
Speaker 1: It doesn't like that doesn't sound like a real name, right,
Speaker 1: Nick Nurse does not, But I don't know what it's.
Speaker 1: It's not a TV name. But I'm trying to think
Speaker 1: when you say Nick Nurse, like that'd be Scrubs, right,
Speaker 1: like somebody would be Nick Nurse and scrubs Nicholas David Nurse. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we do have a winner on Fritzie's Scoreboard Challenge. It's
Speaker 1: fourteen and eight Darren and Saskatchewan. We're big and Saskatchewan huge.
Speaker 1: All right, um, do you want to give me I'm
Speaker 1: going to guess fourteen is Ernie Banks? Why do you
Speaker 1: say that? Well, because he's fourteen in Play of the
Speaker 1: Day it is five hundred to run on this day
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that doesn't mean the Play of the Day
Speaker 1: sinks up with my spo Am I wrong? Didn't give
Speaker 1: me a chance to do my clue. Okay, do your clue.
Speaker 1: You're not and I've been told you don't have a clue.
Speaker 1: Banks are open. I had he brings the Sunshine for
Speaker 1: a double header. I thought that was let's play two.
Speaker 1: Because he was nicknamed mister Sunshine along with mister Cubb
Speaker 1: And you're right, he said that let's play too. I
Speaker 1: never heard mister Sunshine. Yeah, that's a second nickname for Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: So eight. What do you got, Paulie? What do you
Speaker 1: have this day in sports history that might relate to eighth?

Speaker 1: it's Lawrence. Thaddius Barra. Howd you know that, Andrew I
Speaker 1: did a big project with Yogi. I think I told
Speaker 1: you guys about this. I did a thing called Yogi
Speaker 1: in the movie in my previous career, and he told me.
Speaker 1: He came in one day and said, you're not gonna
Speaker 1: believe this. I went to a bar Mitzfeld last night.
Speaker 1: They asked the four questions and we ate Mazza and
Speaker 1: I was like, that sounds like a Sader Yogi. He's

Speaker 1: pair of Michael Jordan's shoes from any NBA finals that

Speaker 1: or Tom Brady Jersey or any of his from any
Speaker 1: of his Super bowls. Todd'll start with you. I'm gonna

Speaker 1: with Tiger? Because that one, I'll take that. I think
Speaker 1: red shirt, Okay, Satan, I'm taking the Jordan's Okay, Paul,
Speaker 1: I'm going Tiger. I don't think there's that many of
Speaker 1: them out there. I don't think he gave him out.
Speaker 1: I think Jordan's you could probably find people had them shoes. Well,
Speaker 1: there's only six pair, Yeah, Tiger's got one. I'm going Jordan.
Speaker 1: Thinking to me, it's a no brainer. It's Jordan's shoes
Speaker 1: from the last championship. Fritzie, did you call for Tim
Speaker 1: Hallam the bulls former's shoes in the basement? Tony in Utah, Hey, Tony, Hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing? Okay, so you guys are talking about
Speaker 1: what you'd take. I would take the Jordan's shoes also, okay.
Speaker 1: Got a buddy who is the ball boy for the
Speaker 1: Jazz who gave the Apple sauce and Graham crackers to Michael.
Speaker 1: All he wanted was the shoes after so he grabbed
Speaker 1: him kept them. Uh years ago by starts having the
Speaker 1: family needs a down payment for a house. He throws
Speaker 1: them on the internet. One night, goes asleep, wakes up
Speaker 1: over one hundred grands. So he sold those shoes. Was
Speaker 1: that the night the flu game? With a flu game?
Speaker 1: And he got one hundred grand for those shoes? Hundred Graham?
Speaker 1: All right, well thank you Tony. Yeah, Paul, I can
Speaker 1: confirm those shoes sold for one hundred and seven thousand
Speaker 1: dollars the flu. Yeah. I I almost swore that Tim
Speaker 1: has all the shoes pairs of shoes when Michael won
Speaker 1: the championship. If he doesn't have him, then he got
Speaker 1: some explaining to do. Or maybe I do as well.
Speaker 1: This damee sports history Poul nineteen eighty two, A great
Speaker 1: day the USFL was formed. A couple of years later,
Speaker 1: not so good. Nineteen eighty five, the New York Knicks
Speaker 1: won the first NBA draft lottery, led to Patrick Ewing.
Speaker 1: Ninety seven, Larry Bird was announced as the new head
Speaker 1: coach of Indiana Pacers, and just a year later, Larry
Speaker 1: Bird was named rookie. As a rookie head coach was
Speaker 1: named NBA Coach of the Year. Nineteen ninety eight, Mark
Speaker 1: McGuire hit a five hundred and twenty seven foot home
Speaker 1: run at Bush Stadium, longest home run in history of
Speaker 1: the stadium. Okay, go around the room. What we learned
Speaker 1: on the program. I'll start back left with pac twelve.
Speaker 1: Suck up Fritzie wearing his house shirt. Paully says, don't
Speaker 1: sleep on Baker Mayfield when discussing NFL MPP candidates. Well,
Speaker 1: it's either gonna be It feels like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: really good or really bad for Baker, like hey, he
Speaker 1: was great or h mclovin. Sam Smith, longtime Bulls reporter,
Speaker 1: said that Bill Cartwright had fifteen fingers. Don't throw it
Speaker 1: to him. According to Jordan Michael Jordan said, don't throw
Speaker 1: it to him, he's got fifteen fingers, which is factually incorrect. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I checked, you did. How many fingers does Bill Cartwright? Now?
Speaker 1: So he said ten? Okay, but again it wasn't in person. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that I thought. Sam had a couple of funny lines though,
Speaker 1: the one where he said, you know the doctor mentory,
Speaker 1: it's based on a true story. That was that was
Speaker 1: sneaky good. Paulie, what did you learn on today's program?
Speaker 1: I learned that Jim Harbaugh wants to be bought sixty
Speaker 1: five yards in a throwing contest. Yeah, then far through
Speaker 1: it seventy five yards. I was always told Randall Huntingham
Speaker 1: had the strongest arm of anybody who played the position,
Speaker 1: that he could throw it whatever, eighty five yards or
Speaker 1: something crazy. Now there might I don't know what mahomes
Speaker 1: can throw it, but I'm gonna guess you get to.
Speaker 1: And it's not important how far you can throw it.
Speaker 1: It's how well you throw it and who throw it too.
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston might have a hell of an arm, but
Speaker 1: it's who you throw it to that matters a little bit. There, Todd,
Speaker 1: what did I learn on Today's award winning program, Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson never received an NFL MVP vote. That's ridiculous, Yeah
Speaker 1: it is. I'm surprised. But if we've had the last
Speaker 1: two have been unanimous. Has Russell put up MVP like
Speaker 1: numbers in other seasons there, he's been great. He's might
Speaker 1: pick this year. What we learned brought to you by Tregger.
