1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Welcome to the program already in progress. It's

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: our two on this Wednesday, Dan and The Dans dan

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Patrick Show. President Trump inserted himself into the Big Ten

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,760
Speaker 1: football picture, but that should be nothing new to you.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Anyone who claims sports and politics don't mix doesn't know

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 1: much about the history of sports or politics. Presidents have

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: often inserted themselves into sports, or at least use them

9
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: for photo ops. We always had those at the White House.

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Go back to Teddy Roosevelt, the role he played in

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: the development of college football back in the early twentieth century.

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: George W. Bush throwing out the first pitch at the

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: World Series after nine to eleven. Then you have President Trump.

14
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: His presidency has been intertwined with sports from the beginning,

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: starting with his position on Colin Kaepernick in the NFL,

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: and now the Oval Office is getting involved in an

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: issue that none of us ever thought we would be

18
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: facing or hearing about how to safely play college football.

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: Big Ten in particular has been tricky because they canceled

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: the football season surprised by the backlash. The presidents took

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: a vote and the athletic directors and coaches and players

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: were shocked by that result, and then they canceled the season,

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: and then you had the pushback. But football is once

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: again in the political crosshairs in a well key election states,

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: because like it or not, if you want sports to

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: be a total escape from the real world, you pick

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: the wrong year for that to happen. And recapping what

28
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: I tweeted out yesterday afternoon, I said that the Big

29
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Ten is looking at October tenth. That is the date

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: that if they're going to be able to play football,

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,199
Speaker 1: they have to come come back by October tenth, because

32
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: that gives them the opportunity to be in the playoffs

33
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: and my source at any time after that won't work.

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: And then I followed up with my source, I said,

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: is it still a long shot? And he said, there's

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: so many functions. I don't see how they can agree

37
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 1: on anything. They missed Jim Delaney, the former Big Ten commissioner.

38
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: And then I just wanted to know about that exact

39
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: date because that's a Saturday, October tenth, that's five weeks away,

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: and you would still be able to play enough games

41
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. Not every Big Ten team would play.

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: From what I'm told, but the schools that have a

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: chance to be in the mix want to be able

44
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: to play. And then my source followed up by saying,

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: there are teams that want to get started right now

46
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: and be in position to be in the playoffs. There

47
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: are definitely other schools that don't want to follow the

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: President gets involved. The fact that there's no leadership and

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: different agendas makes it difficult to think they can come together.

50
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: People focused on the date I gave you. That's the

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: date they've circled to come back. If they come back

52
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: by then, then they can play for a national championship.

53
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 1: Whether we get to that point, you know, that's up

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: to a lot of different people without higher pay grade

55
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: than mine. My source then followed up by saying, the

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Big Ten has itself to blame. Playing in domes during

57
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: the winter with depleted rosters in the spring for no

58
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: championship is not an alternative. They have more money than

59
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: anyone and rush to judgment. Now they're going to be

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: watching other conferences start and possibly play a full schedule.

61
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: And then I wanted to know, are the President's going

62
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: to revote. I reached out to my source this morning

63
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: and I was told that they would have to vote,

64
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: they'd have to vote again, but coaches were in denial

65
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: and skeptical that the season would even start. Now it

66
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: looks like they're going to be very frustrated. Ohio State

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: knows they have a great team and playing in the

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: spring won't satisfy anyone. So that just puts everything into context.

69
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: I know when you read a tweet and people focused

70
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: on all the big tents coming back October tenth, that's

71
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: when they want to that's the target day. That's an if.

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: And I said at the time in the tweet yesterday

73
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: that mclovin sent out, this has to do with safety

74
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: protocol because from what I was told, so was just

75
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: told Big ten will start October tenth if they can

76
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: pass updated measures and procedures. Don't know if that will happen,

77
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: but the President did have an impact. That's what I

78
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: was told yesterday. That's the information I shared with you.

79
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: That's the only information I had at the time. October

80
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: tenth was the startup date if they're going to be

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: able to pull this off, because after that and then

82
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: they won't play. And I was told springtime football is

83
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: not an option here. It's October tenth. Or bust. Basically

84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: for the Big Ten. We have a poll question, do

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: you think the Big Ten is going to play this fall,

86
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: playing the spring, or not play at all? MC love

87
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: and update the poll results. Fifty seven percent say this fall,

88
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: and then thirty eight percent say not until next fall.

89
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: I don't think we're oh yeah, I think next fall.

90
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: But I'm cautiously optimistic that they can do something here

91
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be hopefully voting on this.

92
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: I'm going to think that what is happening now, and

93
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: maybe these presidents, those who want to play. I don't

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: think Northwestern's gonna play. I don't think Rutger's gonna play.

95
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: I don't think Illinois is going to play. You know,

96
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe you have a true Big ten and can you

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: get everybody together and you know short period of time

98
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: Michigan is practicing now, there's a couple of schools that

99
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: are practicing right now, and you know, so that once again,

100
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: it's just putting it all in context, so you understand

101
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: what I'm saying and the information that's going on behind

102
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: the scenes. But I'm being told there's no real leadership

103
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: here like it's it's it's a mess. And if you

104
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: can get somebody who can lead the charge. Here. The

105
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: President now putting pressure on the commissioner, Kevin Warren, big

106
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: time pressure to get this done. And when the President

107
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: says we're at the one yard line, that's a whole

108
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: lot of pressure because from what I'm told, they're not

109
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: even in the red zone right now. I'm trying to

110
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: get this pulled off. Yeah. Point, if the Big Ten

111
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: Commissioner holds a revote of the presidents of the Big

112
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: ten teams, does that not take the onus off him

113
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: to a point because whatever they decide as a majority

114
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 1: is the rule, because the Big Ten Commissioner is just advising, guiding,

115
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: He's not making the decision. But the President called the commissioner, right,

116
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: he called Kevin Warren. He didn't call any presidents, right,

117
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: he called the commissioner. So's it's on the commissioner to

118
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: almost convince the presidents let's play football. But this is fluid.

119
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: It could change. It could be done by later today

120
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: where they don't play football, or you know. The Ohio

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: State President Christina Johnson says she sees a path that

122
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: could lead the Big Ten football schedule being played this fall.

123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: So that's one of the presidents. And I don't know

124
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: how persuasive she is. Ohio State obviously powerful, but what

125
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 1: are the other presidents going to say? And look, Kevin

126
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Warren in a couple of months could be the guy

127
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: who says I told you so, or he could be

128
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: out of a job because he could be saying, look,

129
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I told you we couldn't pull this off. And look

130
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: at the other princes. They weren't able to complete their

131
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: football season. But at the SEC and the ACC in

132
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: the Big twelve are able to pull this off. Be

133
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of heat on Kevin Warren. By the way,

134
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: we found out yesterday there will be a national championship

135
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:23,119
Speaker 1: this year. Still schedule might not be the Pac twelve

136
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,119
Speaker 1: or Big ten, but they're going to have a national

137
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: championship game. If they're able to pull this off, you know,

138
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: complete a season, they're going to have a national championship game.

139
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: We were told that yesterday. All right, Age seven seven

Speaker 1: three d P show email address DP at dan Patrick

141
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: dot com, Twitter handle a TPS show, say good morning

142
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: to our TV partner Peacock and also great radio phillage

143
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: around the country, numbering three hundred and sixty two. They

144
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: headlines to the Celtics up two oh, and the Raptors.

145
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Now that probably gives you the feeling of oh, doom

146
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: and gloom for the Raptors, But for some reason I

147
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: have a whole lot more confidence in them then I

148
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: probably should down two games to none to a Celtic

149
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: team that looked impressive so far. The Nuggets beat the Jazz,

150
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: they advanced, they get the Clippers, you have the Thunder

151
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: and the Rockets. That's tonight Game seven. The winner gets

152
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: the Lakers, heating the Bucks as the Bucks try to

153
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: even that series at a game apiece. So we have

154
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: our poll question. Oh, I wanted to play some sound

155

Speaker 1: might have been a coming out party for a lot

157
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: of basketball fans being exposed to just how great he is.

158
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: And this is his reaction after the game. I really

159
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: know what else to do. I was exhausted and I

160
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 1: just kind of just laid there. I don't know, man,

161
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: I just sucks. It will be in my mind for

162
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: a long time. And this kind of reminds me of

163
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: last year going for it twenty three from the field,

164
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: I kind of field my entire season. In Game five

165
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: against Houston and Houston and Field. Everything I did this year,

166
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: it's just another thing to next year. I'll be back.

167
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: He should hold his head high because that's a wonderful

168
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: basketball player, Jamal Murray. Both of these guys limped towards

169
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: the finish line. But Jamal Murray was on with Scott

170
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 1: Van Pelt and the mother Ship last night and he

171
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: found out the next game he's gonna be playing. Look

172
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: you guys, both look gas, both sides and the Clippers.

173
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: We know is going to be a rugged test between

174
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: now and Thursday. What do you do We played Thursday? Yeah,

175
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: get two days off? No, No, it's Thursday. Man, Um,

176
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: Well that's a bummer, his face. What we don't get

177
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: two days off? It was great TV with SVP there

178
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: with Jamal Murray, fun to watch, and Game seven is

179
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: always great. Little little chaotic there towards the end. It

180
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: wasn't great basketball, but it was. It was interesting, that's

181
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: for sure. Yes, Paul, all right, Dan, a little game

182
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: here off the Jazz Nuggets. Would you rather be Mike Connolly,

183
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: who missed the last shot that would have won the

184
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: game in advancing in the playoffs, or Donovan Mitchell who

185
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: didn't have the opportunity to take the last shot, their

186
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: best player sitting in the corner, which would bother you

187
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: more missing the last shot or not having a chance

188
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: to shoot the last shot? Uh, why would rather be

189
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 1: Mike Conley that I got a chance to win it? Yes? Right,

190
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: that's the correct answer. Thank you, Paul games Over, thank you,

191
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Fritzie had do you guys want to do this?

192
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: I'm assuming you guys didn't get this He sent it

193
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: to me. These are my my headlines with the Nuggets

194
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: and the Jazz and the Celtic and the Celtic game

195
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: as well. Oh god, okay, do we do what like

196
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: the Big ten presidents? Do we take a vote? Or

197
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: can we do it in spring? Yeah? All right, Tod,

00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: red fireboard, same Here is a Saturday. It means we

201
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: don't have to work with Fritzie on his birthday. We

202
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: want to knowlge on Friday the ninth at all. No,

203
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: we will not. Alright, all right, so you want to

204
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: do these mock headlines, I'd like to Okay, all right,

205
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: we're gonna start it off with the Jazz and the Nuggets.

206
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell too soon, question Mark that means burda Donovan

207
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell so d d O n E said, Donovan Mitchell done.

208
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: Guys are done? All right, all right, I'd have to

209
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 1: be seeing that. It's so a visual joker. Okay, here

210
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: we go, Okay, go bear or go home? All right, Rudy,

211
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: go beart, Okay, no joker. Denver stacks deck in Game

212
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 1: seven like a Necker cards as joker. If you have

213
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: to explain that any good, okay smart move why is

214
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: to give Marcus ball and fourth. By the way, when

215
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I see Marcus Smart on the basketball floor, I don't

216
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: want him taking threes. He's a very confident shooter and

217
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: he shouldn't be. But then last night he was unbelievable

218
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: because I go, he looks like a defensive back who

219
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: just wandered on to the basketball court, and he plays

220
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: that way. But he's gotten better at shooting threes, and

221
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: last night he was unbelievable. Okay, Fritzie, continue a right,

222
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: just a few more and I'll put you guys out

223
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: of your misery. Championship success. Maybe Van vleading for Toronto.

224
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 1: Fred Mandley two more or losses. They're out Ulter Tatum

225
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: Jason says, beat us in game three or it's over.

226
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: He never really said an ultimatum. Now, Wowry, Kyle and

227
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: company dropped first two to Boston and the last one.

228
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: I know you're thrilled. Raptors have a nurse, but need

229
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: a doctor right now. Oh Jesus, they're kind of ill.

230
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: I lost the first two games. I think you you

231
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: know you went. You got a bagel. I don't even

232
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: pass you got an over. Yeah. Fritzie's miss was also

233
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: combining two different series, which is more confusing on the listener.

234
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 1: It's like it's hard Knocks two teams because you're like, wait, wait,

235
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: which players are referring? I did? I kind of fourth

236
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: in both games? Like that. Raptors have a nurse. But

237
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: if I gave you a do over, would you do

238
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: those again? I would not look at you. You're growing,

239
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm realizing what's good? What's a left turn? And you're

240
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: not mature? Hey did you I never saw the headline

241
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: that Kyle Lowry's game left the bubble three days ago?

242
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: When did that come out? Why are we taking shawns

243
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Now Because I was rooting for the Raptors because I'm

244
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: a six years fair was like the Celtics that Kyle

245
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: Lowry is just not there. It's his van Vleet, van

246
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: Vliet van Vleet, I know. All they got Fred van

247
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: Vleet has made himself some money next season. Yeah, unless

248
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,599
Speaker 1: he goes to the Knicks and then he's well you

249
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: still get paid. No, I know, but that can't work out.

250
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Why he he's a Knicks just because they kind of

251
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: ruined everyone's career. And remember what we were talking about.

252
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,839
Speaker 1: If all of a sudden the Bucks bow out this year,

253
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: then you'll start to hear more stories about, oh, the

254
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: Greek freak, where's he gonna land? No? Sooner? Did we

255
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: get off the air yesterday and I saw a headline

256
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: if Milwaukee bounds out early, look for the Miami Heat

257
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: to be a landing spot. And I went, I didn't

258
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: take a loan that did not take long for the

259
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: Greek freak be a great destination. Yeah. Yeah, can you

260
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: picture Duncan Robinson posted up in the corner with the

261
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: Greek I know, but then you have Bam out of

262
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: bio and like, um, let's see what else do I

263
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: have here? Anything? I'm gonna go back real quick, Jimmy Butler. Yeah,

264
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: he really enjoys being the lead guy. I don't know

265
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: if that would work out too well if he is

266
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: no longer the lead guy in any way, Let's you know,

267
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: let let me hold off on them. I know, I

268
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: just was thinking, let me hold off on it. Yeah,

269
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: I don't. This feels like I'm on first take or

270
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: undisputed covering stuff a year and a half from now. Yeah,

271
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: like there's enough and right in front of us. Hey,

272
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: let's talk about if the Greek freak goes to Miami.

273
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Question more. I got an even better first take a

274
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: pole at NBA pole question. If you had one Hall

275
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: of Fame vote and you have to speculate here, would

276
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: you give it to Russell Westbrook, James Harden or Chris

277
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: Paul the three guys who are going tonight, who's the

278
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: biggest Hall of Famer out of that group? And you

279
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: have to speculate how Harden and Westbrook will finish their career? Um,

280
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: I give it to Harden. Yeah, me too. But but

281
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: how about this? If I said, Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony,

282
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: how about Westbrook it's the third? Yeah, you could all

283
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: right out of that group. Who would you give your

284
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame vote too? Carmelo Anthony averaged over twenty

285
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: six points a game like eight different times. But also

286
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: he won a NAST championship at Syracuse, so it's the

287
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: basketball not pro basketball Hall of Fame. Chris Paul didn't

288
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: win anything in college. Russell Westbrook Junior the Third didn't

289
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: in his what one season at UCLA the triple double stuff.

290
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: I'd probably give my vote to Mellow and then I

291
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: would go I'd probably go Russell Westbrook Junior the Third

292
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: just because of you know, there's a couple of seasons

293
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: that he put up. He won an MVP, and then

294
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: I'd do Chris Paul. But Chris Paul's having a hell

295
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: of a final act here, or we're not the final

296
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: act where you know, at the end of his career

297
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: he's playing extremely well. Ye ask MC. There's another high

298
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: first takeaways like how much pressure is on those three

299
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: guys today, Like who's got the real serious pressure to

300
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: night with Harden, Westbrook and Chris Paul. Yeah, Well, I

301
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: don't think there's the same pressure on Chris Paul. I

302
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of pressure on the rockets because

303
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: I think there's more on this game. If Oklahoma City

304
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: bows out, we acknowledge them and say, wow, they did

305
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good job pulling this all together. And with

306
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: the Rockets, we had our doubts. We knew that this

307
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: usually happens to them in the postseason. But if you

308
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: don't get past the first round, now you're regressing. And

309
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 1: that's where it feels like. But can you bring in

310
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: a different coach because they've embraced this style. This is

311
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: Dan Tony's seven seconds getting a shot up that he

312
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: had in Phoenix. They just shoot threes. But I don't

313
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 1: know who you bring in that says, hey, let's continue

314
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: to do this style. Can you change their styles? And

315
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he can. It ain't be hard to

316
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: do with certainly with Harden. I mean, Westbrook only knows

317
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 1: how to play really one way, that's all out. Harden

318
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: feels like he's got to have the ball once the

319
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: ball needs the ball demands the ball. All right, We'll

320
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: take a break. Phone calls are coming up, and we'll

321

322
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: a good night's sleep last night. I did. And there's

323
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons why there's more places reopen and

324
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: we safely enjoy summer. Now moving into the fall qualities,

325
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: sleep is more important than ever, not only a natural

326
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: immunity booster that also helps with energy and recovery. Sleep

327
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: prepares you you're more balanced emotionally. Are you getting more

328
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: sleep time? Because maybe you're getting less sleep because I

329
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: don't think you're balanced emotionally. I'm not balanced emotionally, but

330
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 1: I am getting a decent amount of sleep, except for

331
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: those in these late night basketball games. But I'm sleeping

369
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: Kyle California back on the program. Hi, Kyle morning DP.

370
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: First of all, love that Mark Jackson interview. It's like

371
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: being at the next table, do you guys at dinner.

372
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to get him to tell

373
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: you where he wanted to coach. Yes, I should have

374
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: pressed him a little bit more. That's why I wouldn't

375
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: tell me the ideal job opening, because he's got his

376
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: name in the hat and a couple of those Oh yeah,

377
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: no doubt so. For in terms of Rockets, funder Hud

378
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: me shocked if the rocketscluse tonight, Harden's not just gonna

379
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: watch down the stretch. And in terms of who the

380
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: Lakers would out as play, here's what I'm thinking. They

381
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: don't really want to see that OKC three guard lineup,

382
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:04,680
Speaker 1: even though it would probably let him play j Vellent Dwight.

383
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: If you play the Rockets, you get to play ad

384
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: at the five. That's the best lineup. They'd probably be

385
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: forced to do that. As the series went on, the

386
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 1: whole time. Yeah, I don't know. Ad doesn't like playing

387
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: the five, but you know, thank you, Kyle. I think

388
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 1: the lines are just blurred with what position you play anymore.

389
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: You know, Tim Duncan didn't want to be listed as

390
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: a center. He wanted to be a forward because he

391
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: was putting up numbers that would make him the greatest

392
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: power forward in history, at least decorated as a center,

393
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: he'd just be another great center in NBA history. But

394
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: when you say the best power forward in the history

395
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: of basketball, Tim Duncan's name comes up because he won

396
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: five titles and didn't want to be listed as a center.

397
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: But as far as ad, AD's not a center he

398
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: would be twenty years ago, fifteen years ago. Now he

399
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: just a versatile big man. Yeah, McLeman, Can you win

400
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 1: with like a Rudy Gobert type in today's NBA? Can

401
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: you win at like the highest level? I mean, you

402
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: got to win a title with a guy like that? Well,

403
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: I gotta know who else I have here. I do

404
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: think you need a rim protector because it feels like

405
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: you're either shooting a three or you're trying to get

406
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: a layup. A layup, getting fouled. You're not shooting midrange

407
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: jumpers and Rudy Gobert is a very valuable commodity. But

408
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: if you don't have perimeter players with you, then it

409
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: kind of stands out a little bit. Like Clint Cappella

410
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 1: when he was with Houston. It's like, oh, you gotta

411
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: have Clint Capella. I thought they did, but then they

412
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 1: go to that small ball and you're biggest guys six seven,

413
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: But they're all in on this and it's it's all

414
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: about creating a mismatch. And that's what the Rockets try

415
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: to do intend to do tonight, is you have to

416
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: deal with us. We're gonna have to deal with you,

417
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: but you have to deal with us. We're more confident

418
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 1: with what we are and who we are and how

419
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: we play then you are with your style. I mean,

420
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: that's their philosophy here. It works. Sometimes they're just not

421
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: consistent enough. And if you're gonna play the same team

422
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: for seven games, it's even harder to be consistent. And

423
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: you're seeing that with the Rockets. They could be lights

424
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: out tonight. They could make thirty five threes. Harden could

425
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: go for fifty. But I got to find out what

426
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm getting from Russell Westbrook because Oklahoma City's philosophy is

427
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, come on down and keep shooting, put the

428
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, and hopefully you get some turnovers here.

429
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: It's what they're kind of banking on here. Brad and

430
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: North Carolina. Hi, Brad, what's on your mind this morning? ADP.

431
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: So I wasted my parents money when I went to

432
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,479
Speaker 1: college and got a degree in political science and then

433
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: took a sales career. But days like today are fascinating

434
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: to me because I get to combine my passion for

435
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: sports and politics. So I'm really fascinated by this Big

436
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Ten thing because you've got probably the most polarizing president

437
00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: in modern history. You have all these presents to universities,

438
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: which are, you know, traditionally liberal institutions, so you've got

439
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: to wonder where their thoughts are. Then you add money

440
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: into the mix, and then you have the swing states

441
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 1: that are basically all the Big ten schools that Trump

442
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: won most of those states. So I just find it fascinating.

443
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't think. I think it's a

444
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: long shot, but it really is interesting. Yeah, it is.

445
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you're and you have an election year as well,

446
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: and thank you, Brad. I mean there's a lot of stake,

447
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: the President reaching out to the commissioner of the Big

448
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: Ten and saying, hey, how do we make this happen?

449
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: I want Big Ten football. It's a lot of pressure,

450
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure to put on the commissioner who

451
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: has not been on the job that long. And maybe

452
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: they make this happen. Maybe maybe, And anything that's happening now,

453
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm trying to find out things as they

454
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: move along here, and I have not heard from my

455
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: source with this this morning other than prior the show,

456
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 1: as far as during the show. You know, is there

457
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: going to be a vote? Will the President's vote again

458
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: on it? You know, what role do the athletic directors

459
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 1: have in this? There's just a lot of stake here.

460
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,159
Speaker 1: And I do think that there is a possibility, and

461
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: I didn't I wouldn't have said that two weeks ago.

462
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: I do think that there is a real possibility that

463
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: they play, but they have to play by October tenth.

464
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: That's why I mentioned that date yesterday. That was the

465
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,720
Speaker 1: tweet that was sent out because they want to be

466
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: able to qualify for the national Championship. They know what

467
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 1: they have in Ohio State, the Big Ten wants to

468
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: be represented. That's what needs to be mentioned to Wisconsin

469
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: feels like they have a Final four team as well.

470
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure Michigan and Penn State feel that way as well.

471
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: But Ohio State has a legitimate chance to play win

472
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,160
Speaker 1: a national championship this year, and the Big Ten doesn't

473
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: want to lose that opportunity and that money. Yeah, Pa,

474
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: do you think three weeks ago in the Big Ten

475
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: commissioner and the presidents shut things down. They thought that

476
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: the other conferences would follow suit in the near future,

477
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 1: and they made the decision knowing well, everyone else will

478
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: fall in line once school comes back and there's problems,

479
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: and now that you see teams playing and the SEC

480
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: not bailing in any way, and the other conferences, like,

481
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: our plan did not go the way we thought. I

482
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: don't know what Kevin. We've tried to get Kevin Warren on.

483
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's thinking, but I do know

484
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: that in two months from now, we're going to look

485
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: at Kevin Warren and say he was smart, he did

486
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: the wise thing, or boy, you guys missed a great

487
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: opportunity to play football here. SEC acc like Notre Dame.

488
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: They're all in Big twelve, they're all in, but you

489
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: also have these other schools. I think what's frustrating, and

490
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 1: it is for me just as a college football fan

491
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: watching Austin p play Central Arkansas on Saturday night, and

492
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 1: I kept thinking, what are they doing that helps them

493
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: play football? What safety measures, precautions, quarantine? These aren't big

494
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: budget football programs. That's why the NFL will work because

495
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: the NFL has billions of dollars behind it and will

496
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: spend it to ensure this season is played. But you

497
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: have to spend it to make it. And that's why

498
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 1: I thought the Big ten closed up shop sooner than

499
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: I thought they would, or should at least try, even

500
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: give the impression you're trying. I would have been satisfied

501
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: with just that. You know, the PAC twelve. Who knows

502
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: what happens to the PAC twelve as we move forward,

503
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of restructuring that's being talked about

504
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: in the PAC twelve, And really, what is your identity like,

505
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 1: what do you want to be known as? And how

506
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: will the rest of college football view you as we

507
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: move forward with this? And I go back to the

508
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: quote from a Big twelve coach when the Big twelve

509
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: said they were all in, and he said, this puts

510
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: us above the Big ten because we're playing and they're not.

511
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: It's about, you know, the optics here of who's playing,

512
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 1: who's willing to Like if you're a recruit and you go, well,

513
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 1: Pac twelve they didn't want to play this year, Big

514
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: ten didn't want to play this year, you might start

515
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: to look at the acc Big twelve sec if you

516
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 1: hadn't already. And that's what coaches. Coaches will sell this

517
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: when they go recruiting, they will sell the hell out

518
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: of this. Oh, you don't want to go Pac twelve.

519
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: They're soft. And I'm paraphrasing the conversation I have with

520
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 1: the coach because he's saying, look, when I'm out on

521
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: the recruiting trail, that's what I'm going to tell the recruits.

522
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: You don't want to go with Pac twelve. They don't

523
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 1: love football, they're soft. Big ten. What happened? They they

524
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: didn't want to play. We're playing in Big ten. Didn't

525
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: want to play, yes, but if things go very sideways,

526
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: then it's like, wow, they just didn't care about our health.

527
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: They just cared about money and networks and all that,

528
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: you run that risk. Well, these players don't aren't worried

529
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: about their health. These players want to play now. Their

530
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: parents may think otherwise. But if you said to a

531
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: twenty one year old, hey, you worried about your health?

532
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: How many? What's the percentage? You would say, Hey, I'll

533
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: roll the dice. I want to play football here. I mean,

534
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: when you're twenty one, you don't think about these things.

535
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: They want to play football. They're not worried about, you know,

536
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: long term anything. If you were worried about your health,

537
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: you wouldn't play football, right, Let's be honest here. So

538
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: these recruits want to play football, and I think that'll

539
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: be used against the Big ten and Pac twelve. I

540
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: know it'll be used against Pac twelve. Absolutely filling in

541
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: Yanna's back high Phil Dan, it is always my pleasure, buddy.

542
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Two quick things. Number One, I think all of this, Dan,

543
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: doesn't it show that we need a commissioner that oversees

544
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: college football. You were talking about the billions of dollars

545
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: in NFL. Certainly college is that. And then, channeling my

546
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: inner Tom Fritz, I simply wanted to say President's phone call.

547
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: Trump's the original Big ten decision whoa all right audience

548
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: taken shots at Fritzie's monteadline serviceable better than anything I

549
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: did with the basketball on And he didn't have to

550
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: explain it. He didn't. He just got out. He was

551
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: smart to just let it. Let it later. Yeah, but

552
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: I think the President had an impact from what I

553
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: was told yesterday that that tweet had a real impact

554
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: and the phone call because he was not going to

555
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: keep it private. He was going to make it public.

556
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: And what was he going to tweet out? And he said,

557
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 1: look worth the one yard line? And my source said,

558
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: we're not even in the red zone right now, because

559
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: the President made it seem like, hey, this is a

560
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion. But I don't think we're there. I think

561
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: we might get there. I don't think we're anywhere near

562
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: that right now. All right, Uh, we're gonna stay with

563
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: that pole question McK levin. Yeah, I mean yeah, we

564
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: could switch it over that sort of Chris Paul Carmelo

565
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Poul. We could get into I have

566
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: a running back pole question too, Peyton, and maybe a

567
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: tier below more the Alvin Kamara brand of running. Okay,

568
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: you know what I want to get to that running

569
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: back topic, Alvin Kamara wants to be paid Christian McCaffrey money.

570
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that coming up. I want to play

571
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: something for you that happened. I think this is Lincoln, Nebraska.

572
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: This is at the city council meeting, and really this

573
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 1: was a very very serious tone. And I don't like

574
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: getting political. I try not to, but this is a

575
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: cause that I think we can all get behind, and

576
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: this is how it played out at the Lincoln City Council.

577
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Lincoln has the opportunity to be a social leader in

578
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: this country. We have been casually ignoring a problem that

579
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: has gotten so out of control that our children are

580
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: throwing around names and words without even understanding their true

581
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: meaning and treating things as though they're normal. I go

582
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: into nice family restaurants and I see people throwing this

583
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: name around and pretending as though everything is just fine.

584
00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm talking about boneless chicken wings. I propose that we

585
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: as a city removed and excuse me, I'm trying to

586
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: do yeah, excuse me here, come on. I propose that

587
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: we as a city remove the name boneless Wings from

588
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: our menus and from our arts. Use are our reasons why?

589
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 1: Number one nothing about boneless chicken wings actually come from

590
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: the wing of a chicken. We would be disgusted if

591
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: a butcher was mislabeling their cuts of meats. But then

592
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 1: we go around and pretending as though the breast of

593
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: the chicken is its wing. Number to boneless chicken wings

594
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: are just chicken tenders, which are already boneless. I don't

595
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,840
Speaker 1: go to order boneless tacos. I don't go and order

596
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 1: boneless club sandwiches. I don't ask for boneless auto repair.

597
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: It's just what's expected. And then number three, we need

598
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: to raise our children better. Our children are raised being

599
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: afraid of having bones attached to their meat. That's where

600
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: meat comes from. It grows on bones. We need to

601
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 1: teach them that the wing of a chicken is from

602
00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: a chicken and it's delicious. I propose that we rename

603
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: boneless wings in the city of Lincoln. We can call

604
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: them Buffalo style chicken tenders. We can call them wet tenders.

605
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: We can call them saucy nugs or trash. We can

606
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 1: take these steps and show the country that where we

607
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: stand and that we understand that we've been living alive

608
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 1: for far too long, and we know it because we

609
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: feel it in our bones. Thank you once again. I

610
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: don't like to get political, and I know people are

611
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: going to pick sides, you know, depending on what side

612
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: of the aisle you're on, but I just wanted to

613
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: bring it to your attention. I couldn't stay silent any longer. Yes, boy,

614
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 1: And he's not an extremist. He's not saying get rid

615
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: of boneless wings, which I'd be in favor of. He's saying,

616
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: just get rid of the name and embrace wings. Call

617
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: it what it is. That's what he's trying to say,

618
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: Like there's not truth in advertising there with boneless chicken wings.

619
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't know how we can help, but I'm willing

620
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: to put all of my power behind this. This is

621
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: the social cause that I want to stand for. Saucy nugs.

622
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: I love saucy nugs. I might have been called that

623
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: one time in high school. How do you make it

624
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: through that without cracking up? Well? No, My favorite is

625
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: when the guy starts laughing and then he turns around

626
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: he goes, hey, it's like, hey, trying to do something here. Yeah, hey,

627
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: come on, just wonderful. That's great, that's great stuff. Saucy nugs.

628
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:07,240
Speaker 1: Saucy nugs. Yes, Ton, do you think he wasn't interrupted

629
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: and allowed to go all the way to the end

630
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: out of fear that this guy must be a little

631
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: wacky to actually bring this to the council. We better

632
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: let him just continue talking. Now that's a patriot right there.

633
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,720
Speaker 1: He's a true patriot for the kids. Yes, it's about

634
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: the kids, he's saying, it's about the kids and saucy nugs.

635
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break. McLeman has a running

636
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: back poll question that'll make you stay in your car.

637
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,040

00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: fifty six. He could pass for forty. A dude walked

645
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: in the studio when we were in New York and

646
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: I went, now, that's a movie star right there. Look good.

647
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah see, I just watched the New Bill and Ted, Yeah,

648
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: how is it? It's pretty good? Yeah, yeah, oh. His

649
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: voice raised up a little bit. Seton's voice went up

650
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: and he said pretty good. Yeah, I mean it's not

651
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: gonna win an oscar. Okay, yeah, but it's like all right, yeah, okay,

652
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: why not. It's entertaining enough. I've been watching Yellowstone with

653
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:25,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner and it is spicy, beautiful scenery and some

654
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: good characters there. Yeah, yes, I tried it. I'm out

655
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: what it is so hardcore? You didn't warn me what

656
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: was going to happen? Well, I didn't know. I had

657
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: to warn you. It's depressing. It's life, life on the

658
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: big rage on the middle of mine data. I'm watching

659
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 1: it on peacunk. It is a hardcore shit. No, it's

660
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: very very good, but it's it is a really tough

661
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: show like Breaking Bad or oh it's on Breaking Bad. No,

662
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: I just I mean it's pretty intense so far. It is.

663
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: If you're looking for light entertainment, it's on. It's not

664
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: light entertainment. Because I tried Sunset listing upon your record

665
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: day selling Sunset, Yeah, yeah, I tried. It just feels

666
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:15,959
Speaker 1: like Real Housewives of Sunset and they also sell real estate.

667
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: It just showed me the fancy houses. Yeah, I don't.

668
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't care about your personal life. Terry Bradshaw's seventy

669
00:37:21,719 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: two today, Eric Dickerson is sixty, Lennox Lewis is fifty five,

670
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: and Brandon Ingram, the most improved player, is twenty three.

671
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: All right, so what's your running back? Whole question? So

672
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: Abcamara may or may not be kind of holding out

673
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: on the Saints. I'm gonna give you a choice of

674
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: running back so you can have this year. Okay, I'm

675
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: gonna take Christian McCaffrey off of it, since he's kind

676
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 1: of considered the most valuable, Alvit Kamara, se Quon Barkley, Ezekiel, Elliott,

677
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: Derek Henry, and maybe I'll put in Dalvin Cook. I

678
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: wasn't sure if he belonged in that tier. Probably not.

679
00:37:57,160 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: If I'm starting a team and you've taken out McCaffrey, yeah,

680
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give you McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, sa Quan Zeke, Elliott, Derrick, Henry,

681
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, same price, same price, and only you only

682
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,359
Speaker 1: have to worry about one year this year, And I'm

683
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: not going to tell you if you're a passer writing offense,

684
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: I would take Ezekiel, Elliott. I'm not the biggest fan.

685
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: I don't want him four years from now or three

686
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: years from now. Can Derrick Henry continue to do this?

687
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is on the cusp of I think being

688
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: a really good one, say Quon, he needs a little

689
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: better support. Kamara is playing in that Saints offense. I'd

690
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: go Zeke. By the way, speaking of the Cowboys, here's

691
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones on one oh three point five the fan

692
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: in Dallas. I believe if we could get a Lombardi

693
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: Trophy in this year, in this condition, I'd have to

694
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: set it apart, set it up to the side, but

695
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: in memory of a great accomplishment, not an exceptional or

696
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: one that had some hair on it, some hair on it.

697
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Excuse me? What hell is it not going? No idea

698
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: the Lombardi Trophy will have hair on it? Is that

699
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 1: an official decision? I have no idea. I'm not sure

700
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: what Jerry's saying, but it would be be a big

701
00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: deal if they won it. Where has Jerry Jones been though?

702
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: We haven't. He went like four months without saying a word.

703
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: Now he's back. Is the season gets ready to start here?

704
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: Kamara is he's not holding out right mclovin. He's supposed

705
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: to show up today and he's been missing practice but

706
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: in the building or something, and then he wons something

707
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: that'll match Christian McCaffrey's sixteen million dollars per year. What

708
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: kind of numbers did he put up, Well, he was

709
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: hurt last year. Yeah, so his numbers dipped a little bit.

710
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 1: He had a pretty serious that's right. He had seven

711
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards, eight hundred receiving yards. Oh no, that

712
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: was as a rookie. Fourteen total touchdowns. His numbers twenty eighteen,

713
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: they were impressive. To eighteen touchdowns. Let's see, just under

714
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: eight hundred rushing yards, five hundred receiving yards, and a

715
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: career low six touchdowns. It's kind of tough to ask

716
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: for that kind of money after that season. Plus, he

717
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 1: didn't get paid because he wasn't a first round draft pick.

718
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Saint's got a big salary cap number, second highest salary

719
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,120
Speaker 1: cap number. I don't know. I always you know the

720
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: Bengals play paid Joe Mixon. I don't did you have

721
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: to pay him now? And I don't know. I think

722
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:53,080
Speaker 1: we've seen this where there are running backs. There's a

723
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: plethora of running backs out there. Now you got to

724
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: find him, as the Saints did with Kamara. Yeah, Paul,

725
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: I didn't understand that. I saw Joe Mixon, who's a

726
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: good running back. There's nothing special about him. They gave

727
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: him forty eight million dollars and that's not chuckoad of money.

728
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: But they had the blessing of the rookie contract of

729
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow, which is what you want. You want to

730
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: spend money on other things. Now they're in a position

731
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: where they've shifted money towards the running back position. Only

732
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: three running backs have more rushing yards than Joe Mixon

733
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: since entering the league in twenty seventeen, Ezekiel, Elliott, Todd Gurley,

734
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Stat of the day, stat of the day,

735
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: best stat of the day, stat of the day, he

736
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: comes that what stat of the day? He's fifth in

737
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 1: the NFL and yards after contact since his rookie season

738
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, the league's seventh most rushing yards since

739
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: the start of the twenty eighteen season. This is a

740
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,800
Speaker 1: valuable weapon. And this is where if you're Joe Burrow,

741
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: you're thrilled to have Joe Mixon. It feels like Joe

742
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: Burrow's first completion will be a little swing pass to

743
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon out of the backfield. I'm I'm I'm gonna

744
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: guess that that would be it. I should bet on that,

745
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 1: does anybody? I'll give you the field, I'll give you

746
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: the entire roster. I'm taking Joe Mixon out of the backfield,

747
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: shown a little bit check down calling it. That's very

748
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: Orlovsky in of you. Yeah, what if it's Geo Bernard

749
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,879
Speaker 1: sneaks in there? Does that still count? No, it's Joe

750
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: Mixon is gonna be on the receiving end of Joe

751
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 1: Burrow's first pass. It can't be another running back. Anybody

752
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: want to take me up on it? I was going

753
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: to pick a defensive player. Whoa yeah, that McLevin skews negative.

754
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't like the Bengals, not at them. I don't

755
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: stop at the Andy Dalton pouting. All right, two hours

756
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: in the books, one more to go, Setan Pauli, Fritzie mclovin,

757
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: yours truly right here on The Dan Patrick Show,
