What started 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: as a trickles sports earlier in this summer became a 13 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:39,560 Speaker 1: waterfall this weekend. There were sixty six games scheduled between 14 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: the NHL, Major League Baseball in the NBA. Out of 15 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: the sixty six, fifty nine were played. You had games 16 00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: that were postponed due to COVID in Baseball and a 17 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: full slate. And I hope everyone's TV remote muscles were 18 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: okay because we haven't used it that way in a 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: couple of months. I know there's no fans in the stands, 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: the real crowd boys, but it is real sports. It's 21 00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: like classic games where you know the outcome, or even worse, 22 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: a video game recreation, you're actually seeing that that's really 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: Lebron doing something there, and that's actually Aaron Judge hitting 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: home runs for the Yankees or Connor McDavid scoring for 25 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 1: the Oilers. There's no substitute, no matter where they're playing 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: or who's watching. And maybe the absence makes the heart 27 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: grow fonder because sports seems as fun as it's ever 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: been despite the restrictions. And I know we have legitimate issues, 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: health and public safety issues, they're still paramount. But let's 30 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 1: hope we can still keep this going. And while we 31 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: have baseball, we have the NHL, the NBA, football getting 32 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: ready to start, at least we hope it's getting ready 33 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: to start. College football has some issues here, baseball has 34 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: some issues. It feels like baseball is on a high 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: wire right now and there is no net. This is 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: truly day to day. We always joe that everybody's day 37 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: to day. Somebody gets injured their day to day, we're 38 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: all day to day. Baseball is day today. There's nine 39 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: games scheduled for today and tonight. What's happening in Saint 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 1: Louis after what happened with the Marlins with the Phillies. 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: Is there going to be another outbreak somewhere and at 42 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: some point baseball is going to have to hit the 43 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: pause button. If you remember, going back to the interview 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: I had with the Commissioner Baseball, Rob Manfred, I said, 45 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,639 Speaker 1: at what point what has to happen for you to 46 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 1: hit the pause button? He didn't really have an answer. Well, 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: he may have to come up with an answer here soon. 48 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: Watch a lot of NBA, watch a lot of baseball, 49 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: watch some hockey over the weekend, and watch golf over 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: the weekend as well. So we've had the busiest August 51 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: sports wise that we've ever had and we'll ever have 52 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: with all of these games. But baseball, baseball, you hold 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: your breath because it feels like we're waiting for the 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: other shoe to drop. A lot of great matchups basketball. 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: Got a chance to watch the games last night on ABC, 56 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: the Rockets against the Bucks. You know, I like the 57 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: Rockets as sort of a dark horse here. I think 58 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: given a shorter season, the fact that I have those 59 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 1: two players in Westbrook and Harden, if they get healthy, 60 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: they get Eric Gordon back, the Rockets to me are 61 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: going to be a tough out Portland was fun yesterday 62 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,399 Speaker 1: against the Celtics, watch the Lakers the Pelicans. If I'm 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: the Pelicans, I just say to Zion, why don't you 64 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: go home? We're not going anywhere. And my point is 65 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: if you want to have him with the team, that's great, 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: but if you're not going to play him, then just 67 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: send him home. He just doesn't look like he's in shape. 68 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: He is explosive, but he doesn't look comfortable out there. 69 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: They got blown out by the Clippers, and I know 70 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: it was nice. I feel like the Pelicans felt like 71 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: the NBA did everything they could do to get you 72 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: guys in a position to maybe make it into the postseason, 73 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: but they can't play the games for you. And after 74 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: losing and they didn't look good at all, you know, 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: not having Zion or you know he's on his minutes 76 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: restriction there, but you're losing by thirty five to the 77 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: Clippers and it really looked like varsity junior varsity out there. 78 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 1: But you got a couple more games. But I would 79 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,479 Speaker 1: just have Zion go home and then regroup, because that 80 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: was my big concern. Either pay and you're going to 81 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: play him, or you don't. Don't have him sort of there, 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 1: and if he's going to be there in a minute's restriction, 83 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: why didn't you play him, save up some minutes for 84 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: the final five to seven minutes against the Utah Jazz 85 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: because you could have won it and you need to 86 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 1: win games. That to me is a necessary risk right 87 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: there now, unnecessary. You don't need it, don't need him 88 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: out there, Go through the motions, play your games, get 89 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: a little experience there. But I would have Zion just 90 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,119 Speaker 1: go home. There are a lot of impressive performances. Luca 91 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: don Chick. You know, the two best players in the 92 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: game might be foreign born players, the Greek Freak and 93 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Luca don Chick. Now, I know, you know, you know 94 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: where I stand on Lebron in his greatness, But I'm 95 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,479 Speaker 1: just talking about the way they're playing right now. Greek 96 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: Freak Luca don Chick might be the two best players 97 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: in the game. Russell Westbrook had thirty one against the MAVs, 98 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: thirty one against the Bucks. Damian Lillard had thirty against 99 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: the Celtics, twenty nine against the Grizzlies. Kyle Lowry had 100 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: thirty three in a win against the Lakers. Point guards 101 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: doing well in the bubble here been a lot of 102 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: interesting performances. Raise your hand if you know who t J. 103 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: Warren is, Raise your hand. If you know who he 104 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: plays for. Raise your hand if you realize he scored 105 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: fifty three in a game over the weekend exactly. And 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: I follow this sport. That's one of those where you 107 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: go t J. Warren, TJ Warren, Ceahawks defensive back, TJ. Warren. Mm. 108 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: I think he averages like eighteen or nineteen a game. 109 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: I couldn't quite remember who he played for, and then 110 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it was the Pacers. I go, 111 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: of course, t J. Warren on the Pacers that kind 112 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: of weekend. Yes, mclovin, do you remember TJ.

Ford. He was 115 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 1: a nice little player, yes, Tom, wasn't that UCLA basketball 116 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: player that was in Hill Street Blues? I thought it 117 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: was that guy that was Mike Warren. Was Mike Warren? Yes, 118 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: thank you to And TJ. Warren also went to NC State, 119 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 1: Yes not Dufense. Yeah yeah, all right, so let me 120 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 1: give you the guest list here. Tom Berducci will join 121 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: us we'll talk a little baseball here. The Yankees are 122 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: playing unbelievable baseball and I love to help. You know, 123 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: you're starting to get this. Oh, you know, everybody forgot 124 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: about Jim Carlos Stanton. I didn't forget about him. I 125 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 1: just want to see him when he's healthy. Like, if 126 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: he stays healthy, then we'll talk about him. But it's 127 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: not like, oh, you guys forgot about Jim Carlos stant No, 128 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: I didn't. The Yankees forgot about him because he didn't 129 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: play Aaron Judge hitting bombs here. This is still gonna 130 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: get come down to this. The Yankees pitching staff, to me, 131 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: is their achilles hee. They're gonna be vulnerable and that 132 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: starting staff, there's gonna be questions about that all season long. 133 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw. If Clayton Kershaw pitches like that, Dodgers are 134 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: going to the World Series. Dodgers are gonna win the 135 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: World Series. If you get that kind of performance out 136 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: of Clayton Kershaw. Because I was holding my breath watching 137 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: it because I like him, I want him to do well, 138 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter now. He still asked out there 139 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: and throw and that was a very very impressive performance. 140 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: And he didn't throw. He wasn't thrown gas. I think 141 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: he topped out at ninety three. But when his location, 142 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: you give him a little bit of lossie and you 143 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: give him location and that then you see a great pitcher. Now, 144 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: I still got to do it in the postseason, but 145 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: you know, you're starting to see who's really good. The 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: Yankees have a softball lineup. The Dodgers, to me, have 147 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: the best team in baseball. Doesn't mean you win that 148 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: right now. And the Yankees what are they? They would 149 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: be like twenty and two or twenty and three if 150 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: this was a one hundred and sixty two games schedule. 151 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: So if I pro rate what they've done so far 152 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: with their start, they'd be off to like a nineteen 153 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: and two start. Pretty impressive so far. All righty, we'll 154 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: come up with a poll question. Mclovin. Okay, who is 155 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: by the way, Yeah, did you see any sharks when 156 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 1: you're on vacation? I can't be sure? Wait, what do 157 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: you mean you can't be sure? Well, I have some 158 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 1: photos to show you guys later that you know there's 159 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 1: you see a shadow in the water. It's just like 160 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: lockness monster stuff. Well, you know, sometimes to say, it 161 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: could be a tuna. It could be Is this shark 162 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: Week on the Dan Patrick Show? Or is every week 163 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: shark week? For you? I think every week is shark week. 164 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: But I think since I was really in the shark 165 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 1: capital of the world, No, no, you were not. That's 166 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: not the shark capital of the world lately. Although I 167 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: have bad news.

I'm 186 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: gonna give you the Toronto Raptors. Boy, they're getting a 187 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: lot of love. Now. The Boston Celtics. Okay, the Houston Rockets, 188 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: you're a dark horse pick. Yeah, people are into the 189 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: Oklahoma City Thunder. I don't know why exactly. I can 190 00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: I tell you much. You know, it'd be Chris Paul. 191 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: Like Chris Paul is running the point. You may not, 192 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: you know, not big numbers. Chris Paul. You know, I 193 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: talk about managing a game as a quarterback. He manages 194 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: a game at the point guard position as well as anybody, 195 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: if not better than everybody. He just he's a he's 196 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: really really good at understanding the game and moments. U 197 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: and I watched him. You know it's he just managed. 198 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: He manages to do the right thing. So I think 199 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: it comes down to Chris Paul. What else are there 200 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: any other teams? I The Nuggets have injuries, the Jazz 201 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: have injuries or COVID and the Mavericks can't play any defense, 202 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,079 Speaker 1: So I don't know, are there any other teams that 203 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: look at like real threats? What was it like one 204 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: fifty to one fifty the other night between the MAVs 205 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: and the Rockets and then they went into overtime three 206 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 1: hundred two points scored after just one overtime that many points? Oh, 207 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: can your defense? It's me quarantine? Can you say to 208 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: your coach, uh man, I d pandemic got it. My 209 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: offense is here, My defense has been quarantine. Nobody was 210 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: quarantined out there as far as defense goes. My kind 211 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: of game, back and forth. YEA side pole question? Which 212 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: point guard you are? You're talking about Chris Paul? Yeah, 213 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: I give you Chris Paul. Russell Westbrook, Kyle Lowry or 214 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard with the Blazers are in that dog fight 215 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: to make it in but they're different. Point guards. Kyle 216 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: Lowry and Chris Paul are similar, where Russell Westbrook and 217 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: Damian Lillard they're just attackers. They're alpha dogs out there. 218 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: So it's different. It depends on what your team needs. 219 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 1: But you know, it's weird to say the defending champs, 220 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, people. We forget about the Raptors during the 221 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: regular season, then all of a sudden the postseason and go, 222 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: oh wow, they're gonna be a tough out, tough matchup. 223 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: You're starting to get a little bit more love with 224 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: the Raptors. Maybe coming out of the East here, uh 225 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: you know Portland. Of course, people thought that maybe that 226 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: would be the big surprise if they came out of 227 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: the west. But Toronto is not a surprise out of 228 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: the East. I just think we forget about Toronto and 229 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 1: here they are not going away? What else do you 230 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: have in clob Okay. So a few of us were 231 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: watching that Celtics Blazers game yesterday. If you could start 232 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: a team with one player, uh for this from the Celtics, 233 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum or Jaylen Brown, who's better? Jason Tatum went 234 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: like two for eighteen yesterday. Um, but it feels like 235 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: he is he's on the precipice, the cusp of being 236 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: a great player. Uh, but you'll, I mean, how old 237 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: is he twenty one? Now he's he's two. Oh my god, 238 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: he just turned in March, so o my god. And 239 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: then Jaylen Brown is twenty two, twenty three, he's only Yeah, 240 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: he's ridiculously young too. That's why when you you look 241 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 1: at this by comparison and then you go back in 242 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: his street. You know, guys didn't start to emerge, you know, 243 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: as a great player till they we were twenty four, 244 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: twenty five, twenty six. Now you're playing one year in college, 245 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 1: you're in the NBA, and by you know, twenty twenty one, 246 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: we've seen quite a bit of you, or at least 247 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: we think we know who you are. But I would say, 248 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, like, how old is Luca? Twenty one? Maybe 249 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: you're right twenty one. Yeah, mcleovn set himself up there, 250 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: no idea. I'm not even on the Luca is lying 251 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: about his age anymore. He's too good, even if for 252 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: an older guy. He's good. Yeah, I know mclovn goes 253 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: he's not twenty one. Does he play like he's twenty 254 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: one in any way? No, he doesn't. He plays like 255 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna play when he's forty five. When he plays 256 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 1: a pickup game where there's always that guy who knows 257 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 1: how to play. He's not fast, he can't jump, but 258 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: he just seems to do everything right. He's always in 259 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: the right position. So Luca plays like he's gonna pa 260 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: play when he retires. You know, he does have the 261 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: ball a lot, maybe too much, but he has the 262 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: ball a lot, and he's right up there with Harden. 263 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: They liked them some basketball. There another story that nobody 264 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: is probably going to tell you about today, but I 265 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: found it fascinating, and you know, I'll talk to Verducci 266 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 1: about it. It's a baseball story and I did send 267 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: it around to the Danettes and it was one of 268 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: those if I said, Hey, TJ. Warren put up fifty three, 269 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: and you go, who's he play for? If I told 270 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: you Tyler Alexander had one of the great performances in 271 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: baseball history yesterday, and you probably would go who does 272 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: he play for?

I text the Dans 324 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: yesterday because I was flipping around. Of course, I watched 325 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: the games that I don't think anybody else is watching 326 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: because I feel like, unless it's their parents, maybe somebody's 327 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: not watching. Like Orlando against Sacramento. I'm watching it. Even 328 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: the players parents probably aren't watching. So I said, hey, 329 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: Tiger's reds, and I didn't hear back from any of 330 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: you guys. Tiger's reds. And then I go, wait, anybody 331 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: watch this?

There. 335 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Pretty impressive performance from a Detroit Tiger pitcher there, Tyler Alexander, 336 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. I mean, listen, this is an interesting season. 337 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 1: We're seeing all kinds of I think, weird records and 338 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: schedules and anything goes we knew that going in, But 339 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: I guess if he wanted to skip to the shorthand, Dan, 340 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 1: you would say, let's just have the Yankees played the 341 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 1: Dodgers tomorrow. Yeah, I got straight to the World Series 342 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,439 Speaker 1: and forget about some other nonsense of weirdness. If not 343 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 1: those two, then who really good question? You know, the 344 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 1: Braves to me are an underrated team. I mean, they 345 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: won what ninety seven games last year, and they're kind 346 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: of an experienced, younger team. Now I think they're a 347 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: little bit dangerous. You know. The American League, the Minnesota 348 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: Twins are just picking up where they left off last year. 349 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: We've seen them in the postseason. Just can't get by 350 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: the New York Yankees. But there's like a tier of 351 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: near elite players. But I gotta say the Yankees and 352 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: the Reds and the Dodgers are in their own tier 353 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: above that elite tier. Also with what I watched Clayton 354 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: Kershaw yesterday because I was kind of holding my breath 355 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: after getting scratched Opening Day, that's as good as he's 356 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: looked in three years. I'm in a guest, Tom, there's 357 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 1: no doubt about that day. And listen, he went to 358 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: drive line the high tech facility in Washington to try 359 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: to recapture some of his fastball velocity, and he has. 360 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: I mean, he hit ninety three a little over ninety 361 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: three yesterday's That was his best fastball in at least 362 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: two years since July of twenty eighteen. And I think 363 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 1: even better than that, Dan, he was just the ball 364 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,959 Speaker 1: was coming out of his hand easy, His command was impeccable. 365 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 1: I was surprised that he went back out for the 366 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: sixth inning. He clearly talked to the manager, Dave Roberts 367 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: and said, hey, I'm good. That was a really good sign. 368 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: He held his stuff through that game. Yeah, if you're 369 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: a Dodger and watching him pitch, he I don't know 370 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: if he noticed this. Den he worked so quickly, he 371 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: worked twice as fast as he normally does. I think 372 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: that's just an indication how good he felt. These postponements 373 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,439 Speaker 1: over the weekend. I like in baseball to being on 374 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: a high wire with no net. Right now, it just 375 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: feels like the commissioners holding his collect baseball is holding 376 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 1: their collective breath. Can the commissioner exhale anytime soon with 377 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: this situation right now? No? I don't think so, because listen, 378 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: we know that this season for the owners anyway, is 379 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: mostly about the postseason. Right. There's a billion dollars pot 380 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: of gold at the end of the post season for 381 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: the owners from TV money. More than sixty percent of 382 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: national TV money comes into postseason. So they need to 383 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: get not just to the end of the regular season, 384 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: but really to the end of the postseason. This is 385 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: what this season is about. And I think what happened 386 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 1: first with the Marlins now with the Cardinals has been 387 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 1: a wake up call. I think for the most part 388 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: then players have been really good about sticking to the protocol, 389 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 1: but these were cases that proved just stepping out of 390 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: line a little bit jeopardizes everybody. And when I say everybody, 391 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: I'm talking about the entire league, not just one team. 392 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: So you can't get together with your buddies after a 393 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: game and have a pizza, which is what's going on. 394 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: You know, you can't go back to the same behavior 395 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: that you had before. And I think a lot of teams, 396 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,800 Speaker 1: I know the Dodgers had a team meeting about this, 397 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks did as well. We gotta be better, guys. 398 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: You know, there's no room to just let your guard 399 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: down and I think, as I said, players on the 400 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: Hall have done a really good job, but that was 401 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: a wake up call that it has to be even better. 402 00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: Does baseball punish the Marlins franchise with these players? You know, 403 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,080 Speaker 1: I don't think so. They're doing their own investigation, Dan, 404 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of this. I think they 405 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: already know in a general sense, you know what was 406 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,880 Speaker 1: happening where the breach came. The good news for baseball, 407 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,360 Speaker 1: Dan is nobody believes, at least in baseball, that the 408 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: act of playing baseball outside leads to transmission of the right. 409 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: The Phillies played the Marlins when a bunch of their 410 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 1: players were positive, and for all week long no Philly 411 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: player tested positive. I think that was the underlying silver 412 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,159 Speaker 1: lining in this case, is that it's mostly about what 413 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: are you doing away from the field of play. That 414 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 1: brings us to our final story, Joanna Cespitis, and can 415 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: you explain in thirty seconds to us what happened yesterday 416 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: with the Mets outfitter. Well, there was a period there 417 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: where the Mets were clearly concerned because he wasn't at 418 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: the ballpark and nobody had heard from him since the 419 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: previous day. They actually sent security people to his room 420 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: at the hotel. They opened the door. There's no there's 421 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: no personal belongings. He's clearly not there and gone, but 422 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: they still don't know where he is. It wasn't until 423 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: during the game that his agent called up and said, oh, 424 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: by the way, he's got home. He's not going to 425 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,199 Speaker 1: play for the rest of the year. So in the 426 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: bottom line, it is a good thing that he's safe. 427 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: I respect as the Mets do, anybody's decision if they 428 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: don't want to play in this atmosphere. Right, Lorenzo came 429 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: to the Brewers, did so the other day, but you 430 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: know what, he told the team what he was doing. 431 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: He didn't get up and leave without telling anybody. That 432 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: was the irresponsible part the decision to opt out. I 433 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 1: get it. You know it's going to happen. We're going 434 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: to see some more Dan, especially when it comes to 435 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: older players who have the security of money and or 436 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: position on a team. Yeah, but let's talk about maybe 437 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 1: an underlying theme here that he wasn't going to reach 438 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,679 Speaker 1: incentive levels he didn't like. He was complaining about his 439 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 1: playing time a little bit. I understand the health part 440 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: of this, but I think this is the part of 441 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: the healthy bank account that was bothering him more than 442 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 1: his own health, no question, And that was one of 443 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: my concerns going into the season, that you're playing a 444 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: mint a pandemic. There's some risk involved. Let's face it, 445 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: there's nobody in the stands. Your paycheck is a fraction 446 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: of what it normally would be. What keeps you going. 447 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,119 Speaker 1: What keeps you going is a chance to play in 448 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: the postseason and maybe some personal records that we hope 449 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: personal pride. But I think if you're not playing well 450 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,240 Speaker 1: and your team's not playing well and you have that security, 451 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: I expect we're going to see a few more guys, 452 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: not giant waves of people, but a few more guys 453 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: say you know what, why am I here? I'm just 454 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: gonna go home. Not so much count my money, but 455 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: make sure I stay safe and secure. I wonder if 456 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: the Mets tried to embarrass him by filing a missing 457 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: person's report. Tom, Like, I think that isn't his agent, 458 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: his former agent, the GM of the Mets. Yeah, I 459 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: don't know. It felt like they tried to ems Cesspitist 460 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: was embarrassing the Mets. It felt like the Mets might 461 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: have sent a volley back to say, oh, we're going 462 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,359 Speaker 1: to file a missing person's report here. It's I don't know, 463 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: I think understandable to read it that way. I do. Listen, 464 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: they put out the statement that he wasn't there and 465 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: they had no idea where he was, without really any 466 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 1: sense of as well be Now you can praise them 467 00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: for being transparent guys showing up not at the ballpark 468 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: and telling the media that he wasn't there. They didn't 469 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: have to do that. But I guess if you're a 470 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: little bit of a cynic, you would say there was 471 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 1: a motivation behind that, then just transparency. Was somebody taking 472 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: a shower or are they at the sink there? Tom, 473 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: that's in my basement studio as if I have another studio, 474 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: and I think that's something to do with the irrigation 475 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,320 Speaker 1: system running. Oh okay, I I thought I thought somebody 476 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: was taking a shower there. Some wonderful world of plumbing, 477 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: the audible sound of plumbing music in my ears. Thanks 478 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: for joining us. As always, Tom, we appreciate your time. Yeah, anytime. 479 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 1: Thank you. Tom Berducci, MLB network analyst. He was on 480 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,280 Speaker 1: the call of Dodgers and the Diamondback. I started to 481 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: hear the water runner, and I'm like, oh, it's just 482 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: got interesting here. What's happening here? Yeah, Paul, We're all 483 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: looking each other and going, someone's going to the bathroom 484 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: right now and can't be time. Oh no, It felt 485 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: like it was a the Fawcett was going or a 486 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,399 Speaker 1: shower was going. You know, because people at home and 487 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: all the things that could be going on. Your family 488 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:11,479 Speaker 1: doesn't know you're doing a live shot. You're on zoom 489 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: Yese like Dad's Dad in the basement again, it's my 490 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: studio on the air, my basement studio. Yeah, all right, 491 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna settle on poll question. McLevin. Yeah, I want 492 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: to ask that question that you asked in the beginning 493 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: of the show. Is it worth it for Zion Williamson 494 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: to play anymore? I kind of you said, if you're 495 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 1: gonna playing fourteen minutes? Who Now? No, I don't, I don't. 496 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't want him out there. Yeah, I could you 497 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 1: imagine if he gets hurt now, so they've already lost 498 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: their first two games and then they're not going to 499 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 1: make the playoffs. I don't need him out there. We're 500 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: not going to prove anything that I understand. When he 501 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: went home for the family medical emergency. That pretty much 502 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: ended all hope that the Pelicans would be formidable here 503 00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,480 Speaker 1: because he came back. Then heine for four days and 504 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 1: missing all that time. He looks like it, and they're 505 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 1: sort of trying to play him. I'd rather not play 506 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 1: him at all. Think about this long term. You're not 507 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 1: gonna win, and if you're in the playoffs, then you 508 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: go all in. You're not even in the playoffs yet 509 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: and you haven't gone all in. Just send him home. 510 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: I know he wants to play, he's angry he's not playing, 511 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 1: but judging by the way he moves up and down 512 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 1: the floor, I would not have him out there. Players don't. 513 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: You almost have to protect a player from himself because 514 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: you'll try to do more than you want to do. 515 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 1: That's why the minute's restriction. I thought that that was flawed, 516 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: because if you know you're only going to play four minutes, 517 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna do a whole lot in those four minutes. 518 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: I'd rather say you're gonna play seven minutes. Get in 519 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: the flow of a game, don't try to dominate a game, 520 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: dictate a game. Just get into the flow. Let it 521 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: come to you instead of going after it, And I 522 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: just thought that they did a disservice here. And look, 523 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: the NBA did everything they could possibly do except for 524 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 1: give them an automatic buy into like the third round. 525 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 1: They probably considered that, how can we get them into 526 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 1: the third round of the postseason? Can we get him 527 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: traded to the Lakers. How do we get more Zion 528 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: on TV? Because face it, people will tune in to 529 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: watch Zion Williamson. How many players are you tuning in 530 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: to watch? Just the NBA roster here? If I said now, 531 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 1: you might say I'm going to watch that team. But 532 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: if I said individually, how many players in the NBA 533 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: will you go out of your way to watch? Not? Hey, 534 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: it's on, I'll watch. I want to know the tune 535 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: in factor. Lebron has it. I think James Harden has it. 536 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: I think Luca has it. I don't think people are 537 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: fascinated with the gre freak. I think he is a 538 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: spectacular player, He's going to be the MVP. I don't 539 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: think he's tuned in worthy. And I'm just saying that 540 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 1: as a basketball fan. I'll watch and sometimes he might 541 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: make it look too easy, but I don't have the 542 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,160 Speaker 1: fascination watching him that I do. Damian Lillard, believe it 543 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: or not, Zion, there's a tune in factor there, Joe 544 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: l embiid, I'm not tuned. You know, there's not a 545 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: tune in factor there. Jason Tatum, not a tune in factor. 546 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 1: Used to be Russell Westbrook. Now I would watch those 547 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: games as often as he was on. I was trying 548 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: to watch Russell Westbrook during the when he won the MVP. 549 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: But how many players are tuned in worthy right now? Five? Seven? Maybe? Yeah, McLevin, 550 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 1: how about Ben Simmons to see if he shoots a three? No, No, 551 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: not interested in that. He's talented enough that he should 552 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: be on that, but he's definitely not. But he's he's 553 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: like the Greek freak. He's not as good as the 554 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: Greek freak. Like the Greek freak is able to play 555 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: both ends, and Ben Simmons is a good defender. That's 556 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: just not exciting, like he'd be Greek freak light even 557 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Anthony Davis is. He's like the Greek freak. Wonderful players, 558 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, great players, you know, Hall of famers. 559 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 1: I just am I going out of my way to 560 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: watch them, And the answer is no, now will I 561 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: watch if the Bucks are playing a meaningful game. You know, 562 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: they MAVs against the Rockets the other night. It was 563 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,600 Speaker 1: fun to watch, but I also got to watch Luca 564 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: and James Harden. Porzingis put up thirty nine. But no, 565 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: not every game is going to have three hundred and 566 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: two points in regulation. But there aren't many tune in 567 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: you know, guys, you're tuning in the tune in factor 568 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 1: for some of these NBA players. Think there as many 569 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: as you think Steph Curry when he was playing tune 570 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: in factor, Kevin Durant maybe, Clay Thompson maybe, But that's 571 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I'm sure i'm leaving out somebody here, 572 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: but if you said I could watch the Joker play 573 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: in Denver, I'd go no. But I am fascinated that 574 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,720 Speaker 1: a guy who moves like I do can do what 575 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: he does. But then you'll watch Sacramento Minnesota and it's 576 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: hoosda name. I will, but that's only because I feel 577 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: like nobody's gonna watch them. And I would, you know, 578 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: from somebody who played, you know, for bad basketball teams 579 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: and nobody watched. I always wanted somebody to at least 580 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 1: watch or care and I'm watching Orlando and I go, 581 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: I don't care, but I have to keep watching Yes 582 00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: Week Club Donovan Mitchell do it for you, Yeah, Dub, 583 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: Devin Booker. Any young guys that are not yet, No, 584 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: they're great players. But I'm just talking about if I said, hey, 585 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: this is on or that's on, or you have to 586 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: go do this or you can watch this game. Ye, Kawhi, 587 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: you didn't say he's not a tune in factor guy. Now, 588 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: if he's playing for a title, yeah, then you're watching 589 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 1: and you marvel at him. But when's the last time 590 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: you said, Hey, when's Kawhi play next? Let's go around 591 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: the room. When when are the Clippers play next? Tell 592 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: his Zion plays the Grizzlies. Well, the Pelicans play the 593 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: Grizzlies hopefully. Yeah, And then I don't want him out 594 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 1: there with the whole Rookie of the Year and John 595 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: Morant and you know, because John Morand's gonna bring it 596 00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:53,520 Speaker 1: tonight and Zion can't jaws healthy, and I don't want him. 597 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: I don't want Zion going out there play fourteen minute, 598 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 1: play fifteen minutes, play thirty minutes. I don't want that 599 00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 1: because he's gonna want to go and play, and he 600 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,479 Speaker 1: should not be playing playing and simple yeah boy, by 601 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 1: the way, Diovan Mitchell of the Jazz, he would look 602 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: and feel much more athletic if he wasn't number forty five. 603 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: That's a very slow plotting number, it looks from when 604 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 1: I watch him play, like man, he can't get up. 605 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 1: I'm sure he can jump, but forty five is a 606 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: very power ford Ish number. Guard that's the stuff I 607 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 1: think about. Yes, you forgot one, TJ Warred. Well, yet 608 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 1: now he's must see TV because I want to see 609 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: what he does for an encore after putting up fifty three. Yes, Todd, 610 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 1: I don't know if you go out of your way 611 00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: to tune in to necessary that team was serving him. 612 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: But Kyle Lowry is a lot of fun. No, you're 613 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,160 Speaker 1: not toting in to see Kyle the level of the 614 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 1: other names that were meant to. But if you went 615 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,399 Speaker 1: to that next year, when is when is the last time? 616 00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 1: When is the only time that you've watched Kyle Lowry play? 617 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: Watched him over the weekend, which is just kind of 618 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: an accident. They're playing a later, You're not you're not 619 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,239 Speaker 1: watching Kyle? You I would, I would tune in to 620 00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,920 Speaker 1: see Pascal siakam before I would Kyle Lowry. And it's 621 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,920 Speaker 1: not a knock on Lowry or Siaka there there just 622 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:12,120 Speaker 1: aren't many tune in factor games or players. Yeah, I 623 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: mcvi Carris Lavert put up thirty four. Yes, yes, see 624 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: even at one thirty on a Monday, you wouldn't tune in. 625 00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: How weird is that I watch? How bizarre is that 626 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: you all watch? But I won't go You know, Hey, 627 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 1: I can't do that right now because I'm watching Kyle Lowry. 628 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 1: It's like a naptime NBA game. Wow, this is interesting. Yeah, 629 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna catch it in the second half because I'm 630 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,040 Speaker 1: gonna be napping around one thirty five, and then around 631 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 1: two ten I'm up and ready to go. Yeah, Paul, 632 00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: here's a litmus test. Well, as we've been talking about 633 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: these players, if you have to mention the name of 634 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,520 Speaker 1: the team he's on after his name, then he's not 635 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 1: tune like, you know, Kyle Lowry of the Raptors, I'd 636 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 1: watch him, or Chris Carris Lavert of the Nets, I'd 637 00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: watch him. If you name the team. That means he's 638 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: not automatic home people wearing no him when everything likes 639 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,960 Speaker 1: it all, I will settle on Poule question. We got 640 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 1: phone calls coming up, and this whole PAC twelve, What 641 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,000 Speaker 1: is going on out there with their football players and 642 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,640 Speaker 1: our other conference is going to follow a suit? I 643 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: don't know, but I do think if the Power five 644 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: leads leaves the NCAA, then you might have I don't 645 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,320 Speaker 1: know if it's a union for the players. I don't know. 646 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,520 Speaker 1: I was told yesterday that there would be representation because 647 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,760 Speaker 1: players just want to have a seat at the table, 648 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: and right now they don't have a seat at the table, 649 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 1: and so they want to have representation there. And I 650 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 1: don't know if we get to the Power five leaving, 651 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, at any point soon, I was told that 652 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: that's going to happen. The question is not if it 653 00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 1: when and then what's going on with the PAC twelve 654 00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 1: with some players? How many players would it take to 655 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 1: really get captured the attention of the PAC twelve where 656 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,000 Speaker 1: they go, Okay, now we're going to listen to you 657 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: because you're going to try to shut down a conference.

The twelve players, they want 676 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,960 Speaker 1: some demands met, and I think they're going to have 677 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: a hard time hearing a sympathetic audience here, but we'll 678 00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,279 Speaker 1: talk to Pete about that. I think, out of all 679 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: the sports, college football is the one that I have 680 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,919 Speaker 1: the greatest doubts about they may start. I can't see 681 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:24,480 Speaker 1: college football finishing, but judging from some of the other sports, 682 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: can they do what the NFL is doing? And the 683 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 1: answer is no. Can they do what baseball is doing? 684 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,600 Speaker 1: The answer is no. And now you have players saying, wait, 685 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880 Speaker 1: we want to make sure that you care about our 686 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 1: health in this pandemic, and they also want some other things. 687 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:42,040 Speaker 1: But we'll toss that around with Pete and Chris Mannox 688 00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: will join us inside the bubble. Coming up in a 689 00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:50,160 Speaker 1: little bit. Guests, who turns forty three today? Seton? I 690 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 1: think I might know? Okay, and anybody else want to 691 00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:55,400 Speaker 1: venture a guest? Well, I could guess, actually, because I 692 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: might be wrong. TV twelve Yep, do it. Yeah, yeah. 693 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: But every anytime I say whose birthday is it? You 694 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: always say Tom Brady, no matter what day of the 695 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,960 Speaker 1: year it is. Well, I know that because Tom Brady 696 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,399 Speaker 1: is always somebody throughout my life. Over the last twenty 697 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: years or so that I've been like, wow, look at 698 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:18,240 Speaker 1: what he's done with his life. He's almost he's eleven 699 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 1: months older than me, and I'm like, wow, look at 700 00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,280 Speaker 1: what he's done with his life. He's made a billion dollars, 701 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: or wow, look at what he's done with this. Yeah, 702 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: but you do have a supermodel wife. I do. Yeah, 703 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: we have that in common. Yes, yeah, but that's it. Yeah, Wow, 704 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,560 Speaker 1: look at what he's been able to accomplish. Yeah, you 705 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: don't want to do that. And usually in this business 706 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 1: in the media, you compare yourself with other people, like 707 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 1: what they've done, or what they've made, or where they work. 708 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 1: All quarterbacks in NFL history have combined for twenty two 709 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: touchdown passes after turning forty three. All quarterbacks Tom Brady, 710 00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:59,800 Speaker 1: who turns forty three today, has thrown more than twenty 711 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,920 Speaker 1: two touchdown passes in seventeen different seasons. This, according to 712 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: Evan Kaplan, sends that in how is that right? How 713 00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:16,360 Speaker 1: many did George Blanda throw four with the Raiders? I 714 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 1: think we need Ethan to fact check this, But how 715 00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: about Warren Moon, Steve DeBurgh. Steve DeBurgh. All quarterbacks in 716 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:32,000 Speaker 1: NFL history, so every quarterback has combined who's over the 717 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 1: age of forty three has thrown a total of twenty 718 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 1: two touchdown passes. Maybe Vinny test severity, Yeah, I'd be curious. 719 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's like seven and then four and 720 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 1: then nine after the age of forty three is the thing? Yes, 721 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 1: Warren Moon didn't throw a lot after age forty two. 722 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 1: What about George Blander with the Raiders, I got like 723 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,680 Speaker 1: he's I think most of them are going to be 724 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: George Blanda he had six at least six after the 725 00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,840 Speaker 1: age of forty three. I thought George played till he 726 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,480 Speaker 1: was but I think he was also kicking, right, he 727 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: was a kicker, so he only played part time at quarterback. Okay, 728 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: and Vinnie Testa Verdie I thought he might have played 729 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 1: at forty three.
