WEBVTT - 05/03/2021 DPS Hour 3 Reggie Miller 0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.560 You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:08.320 Sports Radio Final Hour in this Monday Reggie Miller, he'll 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.480 be joining us. The return of Aloisius coming up in 0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:15.000 about twenty minutes or so. More phone calls, best and 0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.640 worst of the weekend, What we saw that we liked, 0:00:17.800 --> 0:00:20.880 we didn't like. Mclovin as a poll question, are you 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.280 staying with the poll question? Final Hour and mclovin, Yeah, 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:24.880 I like it. Who do you blame for the Aaron 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:29.680 Rodgers situation? Aaron Rodgers or the Packers? Say the Packers? Okay, 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.880 I think from the outside, I think nationally as opposed 0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:37.760 to locally, that most people would put the blame on 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:42.360 the Packers because they drafted Jordan Love. You know, it 0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.199 was a risk when they did it. The risk and 0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:48.280 the reward was The risk was is Aaron Rodgers going 0:00:48.360 --> 0:00:51.519 to be upset? The reward is he gave you an 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:55.840 MVP season, and yes he is upset. Imagine if Aaron 0:00:55.920 --> 0:01:00.720 Rodgers had a subpar season, Let's say you add half 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:04.760 of the touchdown passes, they missed the playoffs. Then we're 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.720 talking about Jordan Love in the future, his future with 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.160 the Packers, and that being a smart draft pick. I 0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.200 don't know who leaked this, Like that's what I'm interested, 0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:20.120 you know. I think there's been unrest, uncertainty, an uncomfortable 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:24.160 feeling between Aaron Rodgers and the franchise. I think that's 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:28.000 been there for a little while. Now where are we going? 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.680 Is this business? Is this a business decision by Aaron 0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:34.800 Rodgers or is it personal? Because it can be personal, 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.080 but you still, like I had, I had feuds with 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:42.119 people at ESPN that was personal, but the business side 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.760 of it was I still wanted to stay there. And 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.800 can you put that to the side. This is your 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:54.120 immediate boss, the GM Brian Goodacunst. That's tougher because I 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:57.480 didn't see my boss every day at ESPN, and if 0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.920 I did, then it probably would have been tough to keep, 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:04.560 you know, blinders on and just saying, all right, I'm 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.840 going to do my job. Obviously that is to a 0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:12.160 lesser degree what's going on here. But you know, that's 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:15.200 the only feeling, you know, or firsthand knowledge I would 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.840 have of something like that, that this guy is going 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.839 to have you know, he's drafting your replacement. He bet 0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:25.840 against me, and now here we are and he doesn't 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:28.000 give you the heads up. I think if he I 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.200 think if the Packers gave Aaron a heads up. Judging 0:02:31.240 --> 0:02:33.240 from what Rogers said when he was on a couple 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:36.920 of weeks ago, it just felt like, why am I 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.639 finding out like everybody else? When could you have told him? 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.519 Because that's another part of this. Let's say you said, 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:48.800 Aaron Rodgers going into the draft, Hey, if there's somebody 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:53.000 there that we like, then we might we might take 0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:55.560 him as as a quarterback down the road, just so 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.119 you know, don't want to We don't know yet. Let's 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.720 see how the draft plays out. We don't want you 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.359 to be surprised. Just a heads up? Would that have helped? 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:08.880 And I'm guessing he wouldn't have been happy, but he 0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.560 would have at least respected you that you did let 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.760 him know what you were going to do. And I 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:17.000 think that's what a lot of these players would like 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.320 to know. Is Tom Brady upset that the Buccaneers drafted 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.359 Kyle Trask? No? No, I don't. I don't think so, 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.160 And I don't why he would be. It seems like 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.600 a smart pick. I mean, got a chance to learn 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:35.120 from Tom Brady two years. Maybe Tom is not playing 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:37.000 anymore and this could turn out to be a really 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.760 good draft pick, the quarterback out of Florida. Yeah, Poet, 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.520 But like you said, maybe the Packers Brass and Rogers 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.440 didn't get along for a while now and they didn't 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:47.000 feel comfortable calling him on draft night thinking, hey, look, 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.560 we're two minutes away from on the clock and we're 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.040 going to draft this guy. Maybe they didn't have that 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:53.040 kind of relationship, and it goes back further, like you said. 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:55.640 And I don't know where we go from here, because 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.000 Peter King, who joined us in the first hour, said 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.200 he doesn't think Aaron Rodgers is the coreack Week one. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.040 I think it's still the best place for him to 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.840 win a championship or compete for a championship, if he 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.840 goes to the Raiders, if he goes to Denver, and 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:18.120 I think that, you know, it's not a big guest 0:04:18.200 --> 0:04:20.280 or leap of faith to say they're gonna if they 0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:22.719 trade him, they would trade him out outside of the NFC. 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.880 I don't think you want Aaron Rodgers to come back 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.640 and haunt you like that. Now. The question is what 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.960 would be a destination. Where would he want to go? 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.359 He doesn't have a no trade Russell Wilson has a 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:40.320 no trade and you know, I guess the speculation over 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.000 the weekend was, well, why not send him to Seattle 0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.840 and then send Russell Wilson to Green Bay played his 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.800 college ball at Wisconsin. I don't know if that's on 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:53.599 the list of teams that Russell. I think Russell Wilson, 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:58.720 we haven't heard anything, right, heard Pete Carroll, John Schneider 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.800 sort to give you idea of what happened and where 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:06.320 they are right now. And from what I'm told, Russ 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.559 Russ is doing fine. Russ is fine. Yeah. I don't 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.599 know if he gets to be involved in any conversations 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.880 here of what they do as a team, but I 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.640 do think he got their attention, and maybe some things 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:23.080 were addressed in the draft and a free agency there. 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.800 But I don't see that swap there between these two. Yeah. 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:29.400 I was watching Kentucky Derby at NBC and they started 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:32.120 showing Rodgers in the stands on social media had Aaron 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.719 Rodgers all over the Kentucky Derby. I kept thinking of myself, 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.440 if Mike Trego Aaron Rodgers to sit down for an 0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:41.080 interview during the broadcast, it'll be the highest radio Kentucky 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:43.440 Derby of all time everyone want to tune into that. 0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.839 Couldn't get him to sit down and do something on camera, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.560 talk to him off camera. Before the derby, NBC aired 0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:53.919 interview with Mike Treco, the trainer, Bob Bafford, and the 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.400 Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. Then, after Bafford's Horace Medina's 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.840 Spirit won the race, Afford thanked Belichick for giving him 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:05.320 good luck, not that he needed it. I mean, Bafford's 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.880 won the Derby seven times, but the sports different. You 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.720 could make an argument that Bafford belongs in the conversation 0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:16.280 with the likes of some of the great coaches Belichick, 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:21.719 Nick Saban, Mike Shashevsky. Bafford talked about expectations with Belichick 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:25.240 and since they're so successful, we take for granted on 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.080 just how hard it is to win. And Bafford picked 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.640 this horse. This horse was once sold for a thousand dollars. 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.440 So you can have all these sheiks that have billions 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.520 of dollars and they're trying to buy a winner. Here. 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.200 This is a twelve to one, the odds twelve to one, 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.760 and the reason that the odds weren't really long is 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.800 the respect for Bafford but on Saturday we saw how 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.800 much value a trainer can have. Like any sport, it's 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:53.280 not just talent that wins. It's just like coaching, it's 0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:55.800 not just talent that wins. You got to have the 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.760 right person there. And Bafford seems like a sociable guy, 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.200 nothing like the public image that Belichick has, But greatness 0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:10.440 comes in different forms. In Bafford undoubtedly is among the greatest. Yes, McLevin, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:13.360 I saw the interview and Terika I think said Belichick 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.800 was funny on Friday. That's a bit of a stretch. 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.160 He was gushing over Badford, Betty. I don't know whatever, 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:23.000 He's trying to be lighthearted. It feels kind of forced. Well, 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:26.559 I think what is funny for Belichick is not really 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.560 funny for anybody else. But but for Belichick, you go, boy, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.520 looks like he's having fun. Now, that doesn't look like 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.280 if you were having that kind of fun, and a 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:39.320 part of your wife would go, what's wrong? Nothing? Nothing, 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:42.640 I'm having fun. That's always the feeling I get with Belichick. 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:46.200 Hey looks like he's having fun. How could you tell? 0:07:47.040 --> 0:07:49.560 I don't know. I thought he might have smiled like 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:54.200 he might have. Yeah, is Belichick married girlfriend. He's a girlfriend. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.720 Do you think she ever says, like, on Friday afternoon, 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.000 I just want to let you know we're going to 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.920 see Sally and Mike. We're doing game night down the street. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:03.480 Does he have that kind of relationship. I can't imagine 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:06.880 him going down to the neighbor's house for a game night. Yeah. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.160 I don't think that. He's probably that guy who's going 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.680 over for a barbecue. But he has to be at 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:14.640 some point because the girlfriend and wife may say, like, 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:17.720 you know, we're doing this, you know, sometimes they I 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:20.200 would love to see that. Yeah, but I think if 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.560 you're his girlfriend, then you understand who he is. It's 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.200 not like, you know, hey, I'm gonna change this guy. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.840 He's almost seventy years of age. Yeah. See, he comes 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.160 in with a six pack in some you know, pasta 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.920 salad and the bowl of the little saran wrap on it. 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.880 I just don't see that guy that being that guy. 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:40.960 He's sitting out there talking mortgage rates on the backyard 0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:45.960 by the kittie pool. Somebody says, hey, you want a gummy? Yeah, yeah, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.800 that'd be nice. I like to have a gummy. You 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.560 go ahead right over there, the cooler up there. There's 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.480 water in the blue one and some beers in the 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:53.480 red one. Help yourself, but great to have you here? 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.280 Is that a new GMC A kata? You leased it 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.679 right because you can't buy The value just drops as 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.319 soon as you drive it off a lot. You drive 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.960 off the lot. It's terrible. Yes, Todd, well, what are 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:04.800 you saying? We're not doing that? You gotta run that 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:08.880 stuff fine before or he might go, Uh, We're on 0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.680 to Tom's house. See, I don't think yeah, we're gonna 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.360 go to Sally's. I'm on to Tom's house. I don't 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:16.720 think there's a guy in the world who can get 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.199 away with that, not participating those things once in a while, 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:21.120 no matter how much money he didn't have all those 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.199 Super Bowls, He's not getting away with this. She doesn't care. 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.079 Nobody wants to hang with that guy. No. Wait, no, 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.280 the only reason you're hanging with Bill is because it's 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:36.880 Bill Belichick. Yeah, I think you got Have you seen 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.079 the woman he's with? He's all he's he needs nine 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:40.880 super bowls to get a woman like that, and he's 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.679 doing fantastic. He was on the cover of Nantucket magazine 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.120 on a bed of a wagon eer with the Wait 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.400 a minute, the Nantucket magazine. Oh my god, but she 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.640 convinced him to do that. That's like the vogue of 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:58.160 Tiny Island vacation Spot magazines. But you saw that being 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.440 Nantucket magazine. It wasn't his idea to be on the 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:02.599 back there holding a bowl of flowers and on the 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.440 back of a wagon here. Well you can tell that 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:09.839 he looks miserable doing that. But you know it's like, hey, Bill, 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.320 we got a chance to be on the cover. On 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:18.400 the cover of Nantucket magazine. Sounds great. So we'll be 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:21.080 in like the jeep wagon ear and we'll make it 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.000 seem like we're gonna have a picnic on the beach. Yeah, 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:28.560 that sounds great if you remember too. Like his body language, 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.280 she's like his arm is around her, but he's leaning away. 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:35.520 He's like just in case he needs to edit her out. 0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:40.320 You know, at some point it put in somebody else there. Yeah, Paul, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.319 I've got the cover. She looks like she just want 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:44.840 a pageant. She's so happy, she's so he looks like 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:49.240 he just had a call overturned in the playoff game. No, 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.040 it's like he just learned that Brady won the Super Bowl. 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:56.240 With the Buccaneers. MS. Great, it looks like it's trying 0:10:56.280 --> 0:11:00.000 to be a smile, but the cheeks don't go up. 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:06.120 Oh but but I do think everything in moderation when 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.400 you when you go, okay, what is he like? And 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:11.719 then is what is a real laugh or smile or 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.920 he's funnier? So I just do the ratio of that, 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:18.640 and I go, he may think he's having a hell 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:25.560 of a time. We would be like, what's wrong with you? Yes, Ton, 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.120 he's got that looked to him. He wants like everyone 0:11:28.120 --> 0:11:30.000 to know, especially as colleagues, like you know, just you know, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:31.760 she made me do that. I have no interest in 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.280 being on the cover of this, so I'm not going 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:34.640 to call in and a smile and look like I 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.520 want to be there. Here was his stat that I 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.000 found interesting. This is from Matt Pomeroy. He works for 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.400 the Mothership No Packer quarterback has played seventeen seasons with 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:50.840 the team. Bart Star sixteen seasons, Brett Farve sixteen seasons, 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.520 Aaron Rodgers sixteen seasons. Stat of the day, stat of 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:59.640 the day, best stat of the day, stat of the day. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:06.840 Here comes that what stat of the day. I saw 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:09.280 some grades that were handed out for the draft, and 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.200 I don't know what it's based upon other than, you know, 0:12:13.280 --> 0:12:15.440 maybe a team's strategy here because you don't know how 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:19.160 these players are going to turn out. We don't for 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.840 every that guy, can't you know? He said, can't miss prospect? 0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:28.800 They've missed. You know. The question is I heard somebody say, 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:30.600 you know, Trevor Lawrence is a lock for the Hall 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:36.719 of Fame? Uh so is Andrew Luck. No, he's not 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.600 a lock for the Hall of Fame. Did you guys 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.800 hear Robert Griffith Junior the third his comments on kirkt Cousins. 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:51.280 Let see that's funny. Did you hear Robert Griffith Junior 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:58.640 the third? If you if if you haven't tuned into 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:00.400 our show and you're just hearing me say that, and 0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.000 you're right. I did mispronounce the name Robert Griffith Junior 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.000 the third because he's not a junior, but he's not 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:13.319 Griffith either. That's mclovin and his pronunciation. Robert Griffith Junior 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:19.080 the third. Yes, mclem I can recreate the tape exactly. 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.679 Robert Griffith Junior the third. You nail that invitation. It's 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:25.920 the only invitation I could do is me doing Robert 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.959 Griffith Junior the third. How about when you told Aaron 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.560 Rodgers to relax and you misspelled relax. Yeah, r e 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:37.800 A LX hard you think on my feet? I know, 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.960 and you were sitting down at that time. Do we 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:45.520 have RG three's comments about Kirk D. Cousins? Did we 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.959 get that? I asked Marvin to see if he could 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.600 find that. It's brutal. Yeah, r R G three was 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:55.400 taken down Kirk D. Cousins and they were drafted by Washington. 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.240 They were drafted, you know, first round in the fourth 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.880 round pick, and then you know RG three couldn't stay 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.880 healthy and then KIRKT. Cousins came in and took his spot. Yeah, seton, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.079 I don't have those comments, but I do have this. 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:14.560 Remember we relax ri a l Axes LX or whatever. 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.720 That is still one of our best shirts.

You've had probably flobs on the 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.400 air that you remember that. No, yeah, never, but I'm 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.960 a C student. Nobody expected anything.

So, baby, I'm back and 0:17:15.320 --> 0:17:20.080 baby is somewhere in the back room right the new baby. Yeah, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.560 baby is back. How is the baby doing? The baby 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.680 is doing great. It's funny because everyone's like, where have 0:17:26.880 --> 0:17:30.760 you been? What we've missed you? On the Dan Patrick's show. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:38.040 I tell people number one COVID COVID baby, COVID baby, 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.640 and I've been on a long praternity leadue. That's all 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.240 I said. I'm coming back. I've just got a little 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:49.680 an extended praternity league from the Theodore Patrick Show. That's 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.040 all people, We're back together, the family back together. We 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.159 were worried that you were still going to be at 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.720 the Wendy's house and that that you weren't taking care 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:00.600 of your kids. So I'm glad that you left the 0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:03.000 Wendy's house and you're taking care of the kid. You 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.200 didn't name your baby Wendy, right, No you didn't. She 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.200 is she is not named Wendy. Okay. No, I'm taking 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:15.240 care of my kids as all responsible fathers do, and 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.480 not only are I'm not in the Windies again. I'm 0:18:18.520 --> 0:18:20.840 not in the Windys in Orlando. Because the last time 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:25.440 we spoke through I was stuck in Orlando in the bubble. Yeah, 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:32.359 so now I'm back home in California working remotely. Stillman 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.080 and I were still called games remotely. I'll be glad 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.399 once hopefully playoffs start, there'll be a little bit more interaction. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.320 But we are still working remotely for those of you 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.280 who follow the NBA, but we're still having a great time. 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:48.520 Are you traveling during the playoffs? Do you know yet? 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.760 We will be traveling to Atlanta to call games, hopefully 0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:57.920 by the conference finals, which this year Turner has the 0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:02.479 Eastern Conference Finals. Depending on the matchup and the two teams, 0:19:02.960 --> 0:19:06.159 hopefully we will be on site. That still remains up 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:10.760 in the air. I applaud Turner and WarnerMedia for wanting 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:14.200 to keep us safe. We miss the interaction with the 0:19:14.280 --> 0:19:17.680 fans and being there in person, but it's always about 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:22.919 safety first at Turner and WarnerMedia, so we're taking that approach. 0:19:23.359 --> 0:19:25.680 Reggie will be on the call with Kevin Harlan. That'll 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:29.480 be Thursday night. Lakers and the Clippers. Let me start 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.920 with the Lakers here. If you were a betting man, 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.440 the odds of the Lakers defending their title going back 0:19:36.560 --> 0:19:40.680 to the finals is what to me It's all about health, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:47.200 and if Lebron and a d are healthy, the Lakers 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.280 are always the team to be. Now, I know Lebron 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:51.480 has been back two games and they're owing two since 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.680 he has returned, and they just have not looked well. 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.800 And now I'm hearing reports out with Lebron saying, whoever 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.760 came up with this playoff format? Out of five? Where 0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.120 was all this talk a month ago, two months ago, 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:10.560 when the Lakers when Boston, when Dallas, they were securely 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:14.720 one of the top six teams. Now they're on the outside, 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.679 possibly looking in. I know Dallas and the Lakers are 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.440 like five and six, with Portland being seven. All three 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.240 of those teams are tied. It's a little bit of 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:29.000 crying because the whole point of the play in was 0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:33.879 too make sure regular season games mattered. So take care 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.880 of your business during the regular season finished one through six, 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:40.680 so you can rest your door, rest that week and 0:20:40.800 --> 0:20:44.080 let those other teams battle it out. Lebron goes down, eight, 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.200 E goes down, and now they're kind of on a 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:53.520 nose died looking at seven through ten. So I don't 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:54.960 want to hear all the crying. If you would have 0:20:54.960 --> 0:20:57.320 took care of business. Now. I know injuries are a 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.119 part of it, but I don't want to hear that. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.080 Oh my god, the playing one through six. You rest, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:09.879 Here is Lebron James talking about the playing games, and 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:12.760 I don't know if he knows that he's taking a 0:21:12.800 --> 0:21:15.399 shot at the commissioner. Well, it doesn't matter. At the 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:17.399 end of the day. If I'm not you know, one 0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:19.399 hundred percent close to one hundred percent, I'm out of 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:23.000 you know where we're laying, you know, So you know 0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:26.960 that's my mindset. And you know, if this happens too, 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.600 we end up at six or fifth or whatever the 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:31.840 case may be, or if we end up in a 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:36.560 you know, the playoff, whatever that thing is. Whoever came 0:21:36.640 --> 0:21:43.359 up with that need to be fired. Um, But whatever, Lebron, 0:21:45.280 --> 0:21:47.400 I get a guess the commissioner would like to talk 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.720 to you. He's the one that came up with the idea, dude. 0:21:50.800 --> 0:21:53.920 Or he's right because I agree with him if he finishes. 0:21:54.320 --> 0:21:58.119 If the Lakers finished seven, eight, nine or ten odds 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.040 on with Lebron, I ad they're gonna win their games. 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:06.240 Who I feel sorry for? If I'm Phoenix or Utah. Yeah, 0:22:07.040 --> 0:22:09.800 I don't want to see Lebron in ad possibly in 0:22:09.840 --> 0:22:12.639 the first round. That's who should be upset about this 0:22:12.920 --> 0:22:16.960 if they happen to fall seven through two. And Anthony Davis, 0:22:17.000 --> 0:22:19.480 since he came back this is six games, has really 0:22:19.560 --> 0:22:23.040 not had an impact, shooting under forty percent average in 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.920 sixteen points. Lakers have been ounce scored by fifty six 0:22:26.040 --> 0:22:29.959 points when he's on the court, the worst plus minus 0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.640 on the team, almost double of the second worst. There, 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.800 it's not just Lebron, it's a D. And as we 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.639 talked about last year, I said, as great as Lebron is, 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.600 they're not winning a title without a D. And I 0:22:40.680 --> 0:22:43.360 certainly feel that way. But if you're going to handicap 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.679 the West because we do this, we'll look at Hey, 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:47.920 they were a great regular season. Two. I don't think 0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:53.560 anybody's bought into the Utah Jazz nationally, you know, wonderful year. Denver. 0:22:53.640 --> 0:22:56.159 I don't know if anybody's bought into them. Phoenix, I 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:58.080 don't know if anybody's bought into them. Where you go. 0:22:58.200 --> 0:23:00.200 You know what if they meet with the Lakers, no 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:03.240 beat them? Now? Out of those three teams, who has 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:05.000 the best if you want to throw the Clippers in 0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.119 there too, who has the best chance of going to 0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:12.199 the Western Conference Finals or playing in the Championship. At 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:15.119 the end of the day, and again I will stress health, 0:23:15.800 --> 0:23:20.200 health is of the utmost important. Everybody's healthy, Lakers, everyone 0:23:20.960 --> 0:23:23.200
