WEBVTT - Hour 3 – Will Blackmon (07-09-20) 0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:03.560 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:07.120 Sports Radio. That's right. It's Christ and Rob. We are 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:10.280 the I couple and we're filling in for Dan Patrick. 0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:13.720 This is, of course the Dan Patrick Show. We got 0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:16.040 one hour left of three. It's been a great two 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:19.960 hours so far, a lot of fun. And let's get 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:26.119 to this. Lamar Jackson Patrick Mahomes comparison. Rob It and 0:00:26.280 --> 0:00:30.479 the Baltimore Son wrote an interesting story. I believe the 0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:35.479 headline was ravens QB. Lamar Jackson does not like Patrick 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:40.919 Mahomes comparisons after record breaking deal, they're unavoidable and they 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.960 just talk about, you know now that Mahomes got this 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:47.440 five hundred and three million dollars deal over ten or 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.160 twelve years, you mean one hundred and sixty three. Let's 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:51.640 just call it what it is. I don't mean that, 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.640 I mean five hundred and three. It's what it says 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.400 because they got to guarantee him. He you think he's 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.320 only gonna play four or five years or what. I 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:01.480 just don't think he's gonna get five hundred and three 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.520 million probably. I know, I know Mike Trout's getting four 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:08.600 twenty six. I think he's getting more. I think he's 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:10.760 getting more than five hundred million, because I think that 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:14.039 this contract is gonna go about six years, he'll get 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.759 even a higher a higher amount of money. But anyway, 0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:22.440 there is now the talk of you know, Baltimore knows. Okay, 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.560 this is you know, the type of money that's out 0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:27.880 there now, and this is the type of money it'll 0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.840 take to sign Lamar Jackson. Now, to your point, and 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.800 to a lot of people's point, Lamar Jackson may very 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.680 well not want a ten year deal. Okay, However, let's 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.640 just assume that you know he would take that that 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.920 that's not the issue. The issue is if you were 0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:49.280 the Baltimore Ravens, would you offer right now Lamar Jackson 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:54.560 that type of deal ten years, five hundred million. I 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.120 got one answer for you. Are you gonna say what 0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.680 I said today on first things first? Yes? No way, no. 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:06.680 How you want to talk about premature, this would be premature. 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.480 And that's nothing to take away from Lamar Jackson. The 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.000 year he had and how great he was Chris for 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:18.600 the Ravens and we all marveled at him. He was tremendous, right, tremendous, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.560 and he's a game changer and he's a winner and 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:25.000 all those other things, and all the naysayers when he 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:29.760 came out of college. He's poved everybody wrong, period. But 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.400 you gotta win something you got. There's gotta be a 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.880 little bit more than that, and you gotta be careful 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.239 before you turn over the brink struck to everybody. The 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.679 Ravens have his contract, they have control of it, and 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:45.680 you should cash him. Chris. If the Ravens win this 0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.919 year coming up, they win the super Bowl, now all 0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:52.000 bets are off. He would then be like Patrick Mahomes, 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.800 an MVP a Super Bowl, Right, what what what would 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.200 be used of his first two and a half years? Yes, 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.200 so what would be your hesitation? There would be none. 0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:06.000 I would still have hesitation for ten years because I 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.800 think his style of play. I'm just saying, if the 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.200 guy was able to win. You know how hard it 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:14.760 is to win a Super Bowl, asked the Detroit Lions, 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:19.920 who've won one playoff game. No, I'm just saying it 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.560 ain't easy. To the bottom of the barrel. I couldn't help. 0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:25.639 That's like saying it's hard to win an NBA championship. 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.760 I mean it is. It is a real child, ask 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:36.120 ask ask Land Stevenson it's hard. Wow, I did not 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.160 even like ask Kyle Corford it's hop but but my 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.880 point is that it ain't daddy, it ain't that easy. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.360 And remember Matthew Stafford was the first overall pick. The 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:51.840 quarterback has been paid Chris handsomely. It's just hard. At 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:54.600 my point is that if if Lamar was able to 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:57.200 do it and win a Super Bowl inus and like 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:00.520 you say, two and a half years and is that guy, 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.880 and puts on another another fantastic season like he had 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.960 this past year, Chris, he would be in line to 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.120 get paid. Yeah. I look, if he has another. For me, 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.760 it's not even just about winning like that. He hasn't 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.400 won a Super Bowl. If they have another, if he 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:21.000 has another great year, say and they make the playoffs, obviously, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.400 maybe they get beat in the second round. You know, 0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:26.159 they win a game then lose, whether it's AYFC championship 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.919 or whatever. I wouldn't like I would be willing to 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.560 go like a five year deal. My hesitation is more 0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:37.920 so the style of play. And I know, thank god 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.000 last year he was able to you know, I mean 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:44.040 that was tremendous what we saw and he was healthy. 0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:49.800 But to me, a big difference forget the Super Bowl championship. 0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:54.320 A big difference between Pat Mahomes and Lamar Jackson is 0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:58.080 that I believe Pat mahomes style of play is far 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:02.400 more sustainable over the law. Now an injury, an injury 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.800 can always have but of course, I mean, anybody can 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:10.760 get injured. But my point is he is a passer. 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.520 He is not a runner primarily, or even fifty fifty. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.200 He's a passer and that style of play we've seen 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.000 it can last for fifteen years, if not more. Lamar 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.560 Jackson his style of play, and I think it's gonna 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.840 probably you even think he won't rush for a thousand 0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.200 yards this year. So he's going to dial back the 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:35.400 running probably a little bit every year, even if the 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.440 hits and don't get to him and wear him down, 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:43.719 which is a big if because Cam Newton is twice 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.080 as big as Lamar Jackson. The wear and tear, the 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.400 hits he's taken have you know, taken a toll on 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:54.320 his body, So that even if that's not the case, though, 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:58.320 he's just going to slow down a little bit as 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.320 the years go on. He's not gonna be quite as shifty, 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.400 he's not gonna be quite as fast, and so that'll 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.000 take away a little bit from his running, and he 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:10.039 may take more licks than he did last year, so 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:12.720 that is a bigger question mark for me. And then 0:06:12.760 --> 0:06:15.960 he's a very good passer. He improved a lot last year, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.359 but we all know he's got some more improvement to 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:24.680 do to become like a great passing quarterback. He's very 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.880 good at he's a great runner, he's a very good passer, 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:29.919 but he's still got some work to do to become 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:33.200 a great passing quarterback. So that's really now. I would 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:37.279 go four or five, you know, but to go ten 0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:40.640 I would not be willing to do that because of 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:43.880 his style. I hope, I hope Lamar Jackson is smart 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.640 enough to see what Mahomes did and not even would 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:51.279 even want a contract of ten years long term anyway, 0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:55.599 and that he would be more open to the idea 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.960 of betting on himself on being a Kirk Cousins. On 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.240 decided that I'm going to take Now you're favorable on 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.400 Kirk Cousins contracts. No, I never had a problem with 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:08.920 a three year, fully guaranteed contracts. No. I mean what 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:10.960 he did what he did, Okay, So I thought you, 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:13.920 I'm not a franchise tag. No, the franchise tag means 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.040 I'm talking that that meant that they didn't have any time, 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.720 they didn't believe in him, right right, that's totally different. 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.920 I'm saying that he bet on himself with a three year, 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.120 fully guaranteed contract and it will be up for another one. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.280 You know what I mean, which you'll be able to 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.080 get money. That's all I'm saying is, don't lock yourself in. 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:35.040 Pat Mahomes is happy there, that's fine. He wants to say, 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.840 that's fine. You could stay, you can know what. You 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:41.120 could still re up, Chris. You could do a five year, 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.360 you could do fie years. It doesn't mean that you 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:47.280 can't re up because you don't have a ten year deal. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.800 It just for a ten year deal where you don't 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.440 have any mobility or you don't have any say in 0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:54.920 what's gonna happen. That's my only problem. I don't think 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.960 you disagree with him having an out If things aren't 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:01.480 going well, Andy Reid retire, the team is sold and 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.160 there's a skin Flint owner who doesn't want to spend 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.800 money on players. Now you're stuck, am I right? Yeah? 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:10.480 Things change should have gotten out, that's all. That's all 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:13.840 I'm saying. Isn't out to me makes sense because you 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.440 don't want to you don't know, things change so quickly 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.200 and over that period of time. Think about what you 0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:25.040 would doing ten years ago. You were floundering sportswriter in Ohio. 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:31.520 He didn't know what was going on. You really struggling. No, 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.560 that's that's true. That's true. And uh, and I don't 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.360 think this will become a trend, the ten year contract. 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:42.640 I think from both sides, you know, from the team side. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.280 I mean look right now, one players side as well. Yeah, 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:49.680 and you know people have dissected this contract, and you 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:51.800 know they look at all the flaws Chris. It's all 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.440 out there and you know other agents and players have 0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:57.240 read it, and it'll be interesting to see it. You're 0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.319 right as you move forward. Yeah, yeah, I don't think 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:03.280 it's a bad deal, but because it's what he wanted 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.720 to do, and I think he'll end up getting more 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.000 than five hundred million dollars. I think they'll re up 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.760 him at some point, you know, assuming there's no injuries 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.240 or anything like that. But yeah, it's it's interesting that 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.360 he did it that way. But yeah, for Lamar, I 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.280 don't see anything like this happening. I think his next 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.160 deal will probably be, you know, a five year deal, 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:30.760 and um, do you expect him to have the same 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.920 type of season that he did last year? Patrick Mahomes 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:40.400 went from fifty touchdowns to twenty six. Um. So, no, 0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:43.079 with the injury. Of course, he's still played. I mean 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:46.120 he played whatever game it was okay, but he's still 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:49.280 that wouldn't need that. That wouldn't have made up to 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.440 to fifty. We wouldn't want to get more than a 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.720 half four. No, he wouldn't have in those three games. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:56.720 He would have made for three days for him to 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.800 throw twelve touchdown. No, Chris, he didn't throw a touchdown 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.520 again the Lions. It was a game. One game, Wow, 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.800 one game. All I'm saying is you over and you 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.760 said he was gonna get forty. I tried to tell you, hurt, 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.600 it's a part of the game that all you get hurt. 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.120 Still got hurt. I still say, lamar, No, you're not 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.040 gonna have the same season, Chris. Every year they're gonna 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.480 figure out and try to do something different to take 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.920 away the things that have worked, and you have to 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:28.000 make your own adjustments. I think it's very hard to 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:29.960 do the same thing and put up the same numbers 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:33.320 every year. We saw the Tom Brady year, right with 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.960 Randy Moss and the fifty touchdowns and all that. Then 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:40.520 throw fifty touchdowns every year. It's part. It's hard. So 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.920 I think, Lamar Jackson, we'll take a step back. I 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:45.679 think he's gonna fall off a cliff and it was 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.480 a mirage. No, I'm not saying that, but I don't 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.679 expect the year he put up last year. He was incredible. 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.440 But there was one game and I'm exaggerating, Chris, where 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.679 he threw nine passes and five of them were touchdowns. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:02.160 Do you remember No, I mean I do remember that one. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.440 It was like it was something like fifteen man. But 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.479 the first game of the year, it was something ridiculous 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.600 that he did. Was that that was Miami, I believe, 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.520 and uh yeah, it was crazy. And then he had 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:15.480 a game later like it might have been later in 0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.880 the year, game like that, Yeah, he had. Look, he 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.520 there's no question he was great last year and it's 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.559 gonna be hard to duplicate. And I think the interesting thing, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.280 even though I said, you know, his win, his style 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:30.000 of players, what would concern me most as far as 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:34.880 giving him a long term deal. He has been solved 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:37.880 in the playoffs right now, and I'm not gonna even 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.200 hold the first year against him. He was a rookie, 0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:44.880 and Chris this whole thing against it, because if he 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.360 would have played well as rookie, you wouldn't take that 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.200 away from you say that, But I never understand what 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.200 that means. I mean because because that doesn't mean I 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:56.640 can't say the dude's a rookie. I don't expect him 0:11:56.679 --> 0:12:00.040 to you know, not gonna hold it against him. The 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:02.760 point is because people try to praise then I don't 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.439 get that because people try to like, don't count that 0:12:05.520 --> 0:12:08.880 loss for Lebron. And in his first year when they 0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:14.360 people doing the circle, no everybody recognizes he's three and 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.480 six in the finals. So people try to pooh pooh 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.760 it and they say, well, he really shouldn't have been there, 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:23.800 he didn't have a team. Because my point is, had 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.280 they won that championship, nobody would say, don't count that 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:29.400 he was a rookie and he didn't really have a team. 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.040 They would why would you, Well, but my point is 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:34.480 if you're if you're not gonna count it, you gotta 0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.960 either count it and not count it both sides, so 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.280 so it counts. I count the loss of Jackson and 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.120 it was a he had two games where he had 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:46.240 he threw twenty passes and five of them were touching him. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:48.240 Yeah that was it. Okay, Yeah, that was against the 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:53.560 Rams and one was that the one late late Yeah 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:58.600 yeah uh but anyway, um yeah. The bottom line though, 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.520 is he is not been, I mean even close Rob 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.640 two as effective in the playoffs as he was in 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.160 the regular season, which makes you wonder, you know, with 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.200 the team with a little more time. I know Tennessee 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.400 didn't have more time last year to prepare for him, 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.679 but they they slowed him down. I mean they scored 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.120 twelve points. I know his numbers were crazy, but they 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.520 only put up twelve points as an offense. And they 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.000 were beaten by the wild card at home, and he 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:30.640 had two picks. Not a good look. Yeah no, And 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:34.120 so that's the you know, you want to see if 0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:37.439 this style can you One can he stay upright playing 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.400 this style? And two can you win in the playoffs 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:45.000 if they if they have a similar let's say I 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:47.520 asked you about a similar year, Rob, but say they 0:13:47.600 --> 0:13:50.240 have another fizzle, they fizzle out again. In the playoffs, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.079 like get beaten in their first game again after a 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:56.400 great regular season and Lamar struggles again, would you start 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.600 to really have some reservations about how far you can 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:02.920 go with him. I would have to see how they lost, 0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:05.320 do you know what I mean? Like, take a look 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.400 at it? Um is it him? Are we not putting 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.440 them in the right situation? What a team's doing. I 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.840 just would have to look at how how it came down, 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.959 you know what I mean, like like the nuts and 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.840 boats before I would say, oh, you can't win this way. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.960 I know Colin Kaepernick didn't win the Super Bowl, but 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.720 they got to a super Bowl, you know, so I 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:30.840 know it's possible Chris to get there, and then uh, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.080 whether or not you can win would be it. But 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.080 I'm not there. I'm not in any camp to have 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.640 any reservation. What he's done is open up so much. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.240 Uh from the quarterback position. Uh, you gotta respect him 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.920 on the run. If you leave guys open, he'll hit them. 0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.640 So they're hard to defend. And and they were. They 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:52.600 they won a lot of big games last year. They 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.840 were very, very impressive. So let's see if he can 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.680 duplicate it or get close to it. But ultimately you're right, 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.640 the postseason Chris will matter because he's owing two so far, 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.040 and he's had these. Remember even his rookie year when 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.960 he took over for Flacco, he had that great finish 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:12.800 and then they got to the playoffs and the same 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:16.160 team that he had beaten, which was the Chargers, Right, 0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:19.240 all of a sudden, he couldn't move the ball. Both 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.120 teams Tennessee last year, the Chargers the first year he 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:25.720 had had his way against him in the regular seats, 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.160 and then in the playoffs he was a completely different story. 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.400 So no, that's a that's a good point, all right. 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.640 One NBA champion made a big mistake, but it looks 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.520 like he's finally getting it right. That's next on The 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.240 Dan Patrick Show. Be sure to catch the live edition 0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.200 of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern 0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:47.920 six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeart 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:52.080 Radio app. Speaking of the NBA, one of our guy 0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:55.320 we really like worked with him both at the Old 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.480 Place and here at Fox Sports Radio and Fox Sports One, 0:15:59.280 --> 0:16:04.160 Stephen jack He went on CNN last night and apologized 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:10.160 Rob for I mean, he really defended DeShawn Jackson to 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:15.600 the hilt and uh. He So where it started was 0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:20.560 DeShawn had put on Instagram what was a he thought 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.520 was a quote from Adolph Hitler, which is obviously never 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:29.080 a smart thing to quote. Just don't even don't even 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:31.760 mess with that, dude. Uh. And then it turns out 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.880 it wasn't even a real quote. It was a fabricated 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.480 quote that Summer saying really was made up in like 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.840 twenty seventeen or something like that. But it was about 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.320 um white Jews in America and how they planned to 0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.720 take over the world, and it just, you know, very 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:55.800 a lot of stereotypical type stuff. Uh and yeah, yeah, 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:58.880 And he got a lot of pushback on it, rightly so, 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:05.440 and he apologized. But then Stephen, even after the Sean apologize, 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.720 kept kind of going in and digging, you know, doubling 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:11.200 down and tripling down. I don't know if you saw 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.680 the videos, Rob, but you know, hardcore tripling down right right. 0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:19.280 And yesterday last night he went on the Don Lemon 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:23.840 Show on CNN and did in about face here it is, no, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.600 I don't support any of that. Maybe I could have 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:29.520 been more clear of what I thought that Sean was 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.800 correct about, but I didn't feel I didn't feel the 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:34.879 need to go into a conversation than me and him 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.679 had about how they was treating him and Riley Cooper. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.080 I couldn't have changed those words. But the people that 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:43.439 know me, my Jewish friends that I talked to today, 0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:46.040 they know that the last thing I was spewing was 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:49.200 to defend Hitler or any other post. That's why I 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:53.880 didn't speak on Hitler or even speak on his post. Yeah, 0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:57.520 I think that, um and he said elsewhere. You know, 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:59.199 I don't hate anybody, and we, like I said, we 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.960 know Stephen. I don't work with him about Yeah, I 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:06.000 mean he doesn't, He's not that type of dude. But 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:10.240 a lot of people, not just him. One of their 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:14.639 defenses as always, I don't hate anybody, you know, but 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.080 we have to understand our actions is what it really 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:20.440 is about. I mean, you got white supremacist. They will 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:23.400 say they don't hate anybody, or they don't hate blacks, 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.160 you know, and so and I again, I agree with Steve, 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:30.080 and I believe that's really how he feels. But I'm 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:34.000 saying that in and of itself is not an adequate defense, 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.959 you know what I mean, after you've done something, said something, whatever, 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:42.280 written something to say. I don't hate people. Anybody can 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.240 say that absolutely, And Chris, the thing we talk about 0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:50.800 all the time is we're looking for equality, right, social justice. 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:56.000 I'm talking about black people, and if we want that, 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.200 then that's how we have to treat other people too. 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.240 You can't paint. Everybody would have brought brush and everybody's 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.960 not this, and you know what I mean, And and 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:07.960 we can't get into that. We just can't not not 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.320 if that's what we want, and we want to be 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:13.960 treated as individuals and and and as uh people and 0:19:14.119 --> 0:19:17.880 not just as lumped in with when something bad happened, 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.560 you know. Uh yeah, yeah, that's what black people do, 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:22.960 you know what I mean. And that's that's the stuff 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:26.959 we've been fighting forever. So so yeah, I'm with you. 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.040 You can't do it. You can't do it. When people 0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:32.800 hear that stuff, that's what's gonna be a reaction. And 0:19:32.840 --> 0:19:35.119 that's why how many times we see people have to 0:19:35.119 --> 0:19:39.119 come back Chris after doubling down and then have to apologize. 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.520 Yeah right, I mean, and I'll tell you this, and 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.239 this is totally different, just the degree of it. But 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:49.320 the Drew Brees thing, nobody could have been more passionate 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.440 about his grandfathers in the war, and am I right? 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.760 And this is what I believe? And what happened. He 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:58.760 came back the next day. That's what I'm apologized. And 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:02.320 it's been apologizing that since. Chris. This is my point, 0:20:02.840 --> 0:20:09.719 because when you say stuff and you rub people the 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.880 wrong way, it's not that it doesn't mean you can't 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:15.280 have an opinion. We talk about it all the time. 0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:17.800 We've all been there, Chris, me and you. We've been 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:20.880 doing this for a long time, right, right, We've been 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:24.520 caught up in situations saying stuff that people didn't like, 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:29.199 and it happens. But my point is you have to 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:33.040 be conscious of that, especially where we are today, what's 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:38.720 happening in the country. It's different, it's heightened. Yeah, and 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.600 you really have to think about what you're posting. This 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:44.639 really goes for everybody, but particularly people in the public 0:20:44.680 --> 0:20:48.680 eye wherever. Whatever it is, whether it's an athlete, a broadcaster, 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:53.080 an actor, anybody that's known that's in the public eye, 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.520 you really got to be careful what you're tweeting or 0:20:57.680 --> 0:21:02.600 putting out on social media. Because Sean got his quote 0:21:03.200 --> 0:21:07.280 that was attributed to Adolf Hitler from Lewis Firekhin, the 0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.200 leader of the Nation of Islam, who gave a speech 0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:12.479 on the fourth of July, and fire Kind quoted this, 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.359 which was just false. And so the Sean took it 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:20.359 from there obviously didn't fact check it or you know 0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:25.560 what I mean, anything ran with it. Stephen probably saw it, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.919 you know, obviously saw it and thought it was fine, 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.560 I guess, and went with it, and neither one of 0:21:32.600 --> 0:21:36.080 them kind of checked it out. And so you got it. 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:39.479 This is advice for everybody. You've got to be sure 0:21:39.720 --> 0:21:43.600 of what you're putting out there before you hit sin 0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.520 and and and we know this being in the newspaper business, 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:52.880 Chris and our backgrounds. It's about sourcing. It's about where 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.680 did this come from? Do you know what I mean 0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:58.280 that most people don't think that they see something out here. 0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:01.760 There's so many plants and stuff on the internet. Things 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:04.840 you see Chris, and you go, oh wow, I didn't 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.720 know that, and then you realize it's false. It was 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.480 made up. It was done to try to get people 0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:14.680 to put that stuff out there, propaganda, false information, and 0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.320 so God's got to be very careful. And the other 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:20.840 thing is, and we'll say it over and over. Stay 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:25.280 off a hitler, My god, just stay off. Leave him alone, 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:28.640 Leave him alone, the worst person in the world. Right, 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:32.919 what more? What? What? What analogy? Chris? What comparison do 0:22:33.000 --> 0:22:35.280 you need to make with that guy? Right? If you 0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:37.880 want to make a point, make it without him. Get 0:22:37.920 --> 0:22:40.920 another source. All right, let's go to our next guest. 0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:45.760 He's an NFL veteran NFL network analyst, Will Blackman. Will 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:49.800 what's up? Brother? What's up? Will? Listen? I am just 0:22:49.920 --> 0:22:55.639
