WEBVTT - Hour 2 – Warriors Rolling, Bruce Pearl

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>You are listening to The Dan Patrick Show on Fox

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Sports Radio Our two.

0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 2>On this Tuesday, Dan and the Dan Need's Dan Patrick

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 2>Show got into a heated discussion with Chris Simms last

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:18.439
<v Speaker 2>hour talking about inflating footballs, deflating footposts. It's ten years old.

0:00:19.480 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 2>It was a random topic there. Probably didn't expect to

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 2>dive into that with Chris Simms, but he was with

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 2>the Patriots and spent a year there as a coach,

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 2>and we started joking around socializing with Tom Brady. Did

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Brady invite him out when he took his teammates out

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:40.320
<v Speaker 2>and he brought up Deflategate And then I wanted to

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 2>know where Chris stood on that, and then he told

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 2>me that, you know, he's basically a get off my lawn.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 2>It's the rule, don't deflate the footballs. And I said,

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a silly rule. Should Tom Brady have

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 2>been punished? Yes, he broke a rule and he lied

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>about it. More importantly to the commissioner. He lied to

0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the commissioner. The rule is the fact that Aaron Rodgers

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 2>came on the show and said that he over inflated.

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>So somebody went out of their way to over inflate

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 2>a football. Remember it was this clandestine way of getting

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>the football and breaking into something or trying to do

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>it without the officials.

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Not knowing what's going on.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:21.280
<v Speaker 2>You had the deflator on the team, which was the

0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>obvious giveaway.

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Guys, nickname is the deflator.

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 2>And I just think if both quarterbacks decide how they

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 2>want the football, I don't have a problem with that.

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 2>But that rule is still in place. But Chris Simms

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>and I we went back and forth. March is here,

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 2>the dance is just beginning, and the Big Ten in

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Big East men's basketball tournaments tip off live tomorrow exclusively

0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 2>on Peacock. You had a couple of teams that punched

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>their ticket, as they like to say, Wafford. It's Wafford College,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>not the University of Wofford, but they beat fu Furman

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and Troy also got in. Four more berths coming up

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>tonight the Horizon League, Northeast CIA and the WCC eight

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>seven seven three DP show operator Tyler sitting by.

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Good morning.

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching on Peacock, thank you for downloading the app.

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.520
<v Speaker 2>Bruce Pearl, head coach of the Auburn Tigers, will join us.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 3>Coming up.

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Lewis Riddick from the Mothership. A little bit later on,

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 2>as we continue to discuss some of the hits and

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 2>missus with free agency, the Jets get Justin Field, Seahawks

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Sam Darnold, the Commanders acquire Laramie Tunsell, and Josh Pause.

0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:39.400
<v Speaker 2>Sweat goes to the Cardinals. You still have the Aaron

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers to the Steelers question mark. And if that's the case,

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>then Russell Wilson maybe to the Giants question mark. But

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 2>if the Steelers wanted to keep Russell Wilson, they would

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>have already done it, right, But they're holding out hope

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 2>for Aaron Rodgers because Russell Wilson can make you nine

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 2>and eight again. Aaron Rodgers maybe could get you twelve wins,

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 2>eleven wins, maybe a first round playoff win more importantly,

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 2>but still wait for that. Maybe that comes down by

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day. A Pole question Dylan is

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>in for U Seaton. Pritzy is here, the King of Content.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>Marvin is here wearing the T shirt that I got

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>in Santa Barbara brought it all the way back. Thought

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.400
<v Speaker 2>about him. I don't know why I did, because he's

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:31.280
<v Speaker 2>not necessarily a Bulls fan. You're a basketball fan. But

0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.679
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen ninety one Chicago Bulls championship shirt. If you're

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 2>watching on Peacock, it looks lovely.

0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 4>Thank you so much. I like Paulie and Fritzy. I

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 4>live in the creates.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you do, which means you love the history. Correct,

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes much, Yes you do, Dylan. Poll question from our

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.520
<v Speaker 2>one and then what are we going to go with

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>hoard two?

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 6>Dan, our one was next season, the Steelers should go

0:03:56.000 --> 0:04:00.440
<v Speaker 6>with Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. Russell Wilson is taking

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 6>it at about fifty six percent. Wow, I'm inclined to agree.

0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:07.360
<v Speaker 3>Wow. Oh, I would go with Aaron Rodgers. I'd roll

0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>the dice.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 2>I would I think he's done that Aaron Rodgers is done. Well,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 2>if he's done, then Russ is done.

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 6>They're both done.

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 3>It's which one's.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Less done, less done, done done. I take Aaron Rodgers.

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Russ can get you nine inning.

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 6>Gay, I had neither, as.

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:34.919
<v Speaker 2>You could, I'd prefer you didn't. Okay, what would neither be?

0:04:35.120 --> 0:04:39.040
<v Speaker 2>They don't have a quarterback? Just yeah, just roll Ben Roethlisberger.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:42.359
<v Speaker 2>What's the poll question for hour two?

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 6>So we got a couple options. Dan going off the

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 6>deflate gate talk. Are you in favor of the rule

0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 6>against the fighting the football? Yes or no?

0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:52.599
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if I want to go down this

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:53.240
<v Speaker 3>road today.

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 6>We could do an alternative one. Okay, who is the

0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 6>better QB situation? The Seahawks with Darnold, Raiders with Gen

0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 6>Smith or Jets with Justin Fields.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean it might be just Sam Donald and

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Gino Smith.

0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 3>We can do just the two.

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, because one happened. Because the other one happened.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, the Raiders, you know, traded for him. Therefore,

0:05:16.440 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 2>Seattle it opened up the opportunity to get Sam Darnald.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.440
<v Speaker 2>All right, eight seven seven three DP. Show a couple

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>of basketball highlights. Golden State, Golden State. Here they go

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and they have a home stand here. You know, the

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 2>Lakers have a brutal stretch. They lost to the Nets, right,

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.880
<v Speaker 2>they don't have Lebron and you know, the West is

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>so tightly compacted there that if you end up losing

0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.479
<v Speaker 2>like five of your next seven, now all of a sudden,

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:51.359
<v Speaker 2>you're looking at play in territory. But with Golden State,

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 2>they're twelve and two since February eighth. They got a

0:05:56.440 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 2>game coming up. They have Seattle, New York, Denver, Milwaukee,

0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 2>and Toronto, so they have home games here and what

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:10.919
<v Speaker 2>a big advantage. Jimmy Butler has played well and I

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 2>like the Jimmy Butler deal in the short term. I

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:14.839
<v Speaker 2>don't want him for more than two years, but it

0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>does give Steph Curry one more shot at maybe competing

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.680
<v Speaker 2>for a championship. Because I ended up talking to Mike

0:06:22.800 --> 0:06:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Dunleavy Senior at the Super Bowl. And the reason why

0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I bring this up is his son is the GM

0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.680
<v Speaker 2>of the Golden State Warriors, and I said, now I

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.599
<v Speaker 2>can I can say this, but Mike Senior, I said,

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.720
<v Speaker 2>how desperate are they to get somebody at the trade deadline?

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 2>And so we started talking about this. Now he didn't

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 2>say it's off the record, but you know we've spoken

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>generalities of.

0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:51.599
<v Speaker 3>You know, can you get KD? Can you get Jimmy Butler?

0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:52.360
<v Speaker 3>Like who fits?

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.640
<v Speaker 2>And so he gave me a little bit of information

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>that I'm sure that he gleaned from conversations with his son,

0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the former Duke Star. But they got Jimmy Butler. You know,

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.279
<v Speaker 2>they were going for KD. And I think Kd's on

0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>another team next season, but they wanted Kevin Durant, and

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Durant didn't want to revisit that. I mean, would I

0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 2>want to go back and play with Draymond after he

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:18.280
<v Speaker 2>made life miserable for me while we're winning titles. No,

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 2>you are winning, but it comes at a call like

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 2>they won. But it must have been so bad that

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>he wanted out where you go? I'm tired of listening

0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 2>to Draymon. Oh okay, Draymon.

0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, PAULI, Losing is miserable. Winning with Jerks is tolerable?

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:38.360
<v Speaker 5>Is that fair?

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 3>Until it's not? Apparently?

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Because you know, but he won his titles and they

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 2>probably said, all right, I've done what I need to do.

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 3>Now it can go have my own team. I mean,

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 3>I think that was the flaw.

0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 2>I get to play with somebody I like in Kyrie

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 2>and let's go to Brooklyn and Okay, it didn't work out.

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think he wanted to revisit that. Okay,

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 2>got to join Steph to win another title. You just

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 2>don't want to go down that road. I don't think

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 2>he needs to go down that road. But he's going

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to be on another team next season. But Golden State

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 2>is playing. You know, you want to be quiet you

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 2>don't want anything stupid, said by Draymond. You just want

0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:22.080
<v Speaker 2>to play good basketball, get your bench ready, get ready

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 2>for the playoffs, and then there'll be a tough out.

0:08:25.840 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 3>But you know, the.

0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Lakers are in a trickier situation because this is the

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:35.720
<v Speaker 2>stretch and the schedule. Lebron was publicly criticizing the most

0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 2>brutal stretch and their schedule. You know, the rest of

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 2>the season is I think the toughest in the NBA.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I've been talking about this, maybe too much, but I've

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 2>been talking about Joker some of the numbers here and

0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 2>saying that he's not going to win the MVP, but

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 2>he should. And Michael Malone, the Nuggets head coach, had

0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 2>this to say about the MVP race.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:05.600
<v Speaker 8>Obviously, Shay Gilgos Alexander is a great player, and if

0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:09.439
<v Speaker 8>he wins his first MVP, you know he's deserving of that.

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.480
<v Speaker 8>My thing is this, you know, if you didn't know

0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.360
<v Speaker 8>that Nicola won three MVPs, and I've put player A

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 8>and player B on paper, and you had no idea

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 8>that the guy who's averaging a triple double, the guy

0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:26.240
<v Speaker 8>who's top three in the three major statistical categories, things

0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 8>that no one's ever done. He wins the MVP ten

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:31.680
<v Speaker 8>times out of ten, and if you don't think so,

0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 8>I think you guys are all fully.

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:40.320
<v Speaker 3>All right, Michael, don't call me Mike. I agree with him.

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 3>I agree Joker could have four MVPs. He can have five.

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>MVPs if you include this year. He's playing at that level.

0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:56.280
<v Speaker 2>But you know, he won three and then all of

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.640
<v Speaker 2>a sudden, it's we can't let that happen. Lebron James

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>hasn't on an MVP since twenty twelve. He was twenty

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>eight years of age. I find that amazing that the

0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:12.439
<v Speaker 2>best player in the game, or at least for during

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 2>that period a good portion of the period, never won

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 2>an MVP. It's he got to the point where, okay,

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:25.040
<v Speaker 2>he finished second three times, conceivably could have seven MVPs.

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 2>Joker could conceivably have five if you're being fair to

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.560
<v Speaker 2>what you see. We get caught up in okay, best

0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 2>player on the best team. Okay, Well, the best player

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>on the best team right now is Donovan Mitchell. And

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.719
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard his name at all, but Shay Gilgis

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>is a incredible score.

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 3>But he's not better than Joker. He's not.

0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>You could ask Shay gilgis he probably, in a true moment,

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 2>say jokers a better player. Jay Gilger is going to

0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:06.400
<v Speaker 2>say I'm a better score but better all around player.

0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not even close. But that's value, how you interpret

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>it value. I loved voting for these awards. I felt

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 2>like it was a privilege and honor, and I had

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:24.200
<v Speaker 2>to equate what is value. I struggled mightily over Jason

0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>Kidd and Grant Hill for Rookie of the Year. I

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>changed my vote on the last day, the last hour

0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>that you could send in your bount I went back

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 2>and forth. But you got to have the same people

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:42.319
<v Speaker 2>watching the same amount of games understanding what's going on.

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 2>There's certain players you have to go out of your

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 2>way to watch, you do because some of the other

0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 2>games are always on right in front of us. Then

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 2>we tend to lean towards those players in those teams.

0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.120
<v Speaker 2>But if Shay wins it and he's going to good,

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 2>it's good for the league as well. I think another

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:08.080
<v Speaker 2>young player MVP not in your major market there and

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:10.199
<v Speaker 2>they've done a wonderful job in building that team.

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 3>So it's going to be a topic.

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.559
<v Speaker 2>It was a topic last year when all of a sudden,

0:12:17.679 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Joker was going to win. Kendrick Perkins came on and

0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:25.280
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden had this barnstorming tour to tell

0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 2>everybody it should be Joe El Embiid that I'm thinking,

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Kendrick Perkins, you don't know what you're talking about. And

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I still stand by that that Joker was better than

0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Joel Embiid. Joe El Embiid, it was his turn, it

0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.520
<v Speaker 2>was his time. I'm like, that is silly, but he

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>was a great player. Was He'll never be a great

0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 2>player again, guess.

0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:49.440
<v Speaker 7>Paul Lebron had a five year stretch aged twenty four

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:52.320
<v Speaker 7>to twenty eight. He won four out of five MVPs.

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 7>He finished top two for Defensive Player of the Year twice.

0:12:57.080 --> 0:13:00.200
<v Speaker 7>He was top five five years in a row. Oh,

0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 7>he never won another MVP after age twenty eight. He's

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 7>finished second place three times, second place to Giannis Harden

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:09.160
<v Speaker 7>and Durant.

0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Lance in Vegas, Hi Lance, what's on your mind today?

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 9>Good morning Dan, first time, long time hoping five to

<v Speaker 9>you were you were talking about Josh Sweat, Yeah, and

0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 9>names like that, the one that's made me laugh inappropriately

0:13:33.840 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 9>for years. Is Mark Sweeney, the former Kansas City Royal

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:42.920
<v Speaker 9>Mark Sweeney.

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:51.480
<v Speaker 2>We're all twelve, Thank you Lance. Yes, hey, ladies and gentlemen.

0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Mark Sweeney. Uh brings me back to the name game

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.560
<v Speaker 2>when I was in high school and I can't even

0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.520
<v Speaker 2>tell you some of the names that I grew up with.

0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:05.960
<v Speaker 3>I win this.

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 2>I win this competition every single time, every single time.

0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:14.319
<v Speaker 3>Yes, paum.

0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:16.040
<v Speaker 7>We were on the road when I first started working

0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.480
<v Speaker 7>with you back in like Dayton, and the topic came

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 7>up and I said, I went to school with a

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 7>girl named April Shower. You're like, hold up a second,

0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 7>I'm going to tell you something, and you went through them.

0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 7>I was like, I still had that reaction.

0:14:27.000 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 3>When my mom was alive, I would call her.

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes it'd be all hours of the night because be

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 2>out drinking and people to say, oh I knew somebody,

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 2>and I go hold on here, and I'd get my

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 2>mom on and I'd make her pronounce the name of

0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.640
<v Speaker 2>my priest and you would have to look it up

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:46.760
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube. But because she's she told me, you know

0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>a long time before she passed away, to not do

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>that to our priest at Saint Susannah and so. But

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.520
<v Speaker 2>I would call my mom and say, Mom, what was

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 2>the name of our priest? And she'd go, oh, Danny,

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 2>and then she we'd give you the name and people

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:02.400
<v Speaker 2>would be like.

0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:05.400

<v Speaker 2>DraftKings just sent me the odds to win it all

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 2>in March Madness. It's Duke, followed by Auburn, Florida, Houston,

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and Alabama. He's the head coach of the Auburn Tigers,

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.520
<v Speaker 2>his eleventh year there. He's Bruce Pearl. It was six

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:52.520
<v Speaker 2>years ago in Minneapolis. I had you in studio, you

0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 2>had your team in the final four, and I said

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.760
<v Speaker 2>to Paulie, I'm gonna make Bruce Pearl cry that day,

0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:04.280
<v Speaker 2>And you did shed a teer a light tier, but

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I got you to cry.

0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.760
<v Speaker 5>Hi Bruce, Hi, Dan? Who are you?

0:17:11.320 --> 0:17:14.080
<v Speaker 3>I'm great. I'm not going to try to make you

0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:14.920
<v Speaker 3>cry this time.

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.840
<v Speaker 5>You know, of all your great accomplishments over the course

0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 5>of your career, I hope my shedding a tier isn't

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:25.080
<v Speaker 5>one of them.

0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.480
<v Speaker 2>It was just a goal to see if I could,

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, bring out that emotion. Because you're an emotional guy.

0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:38.560
<v Speaker 2>You say you cry a lot. I don't know if

0:17:38.600 --> 0:17:41.320
<v Speaker 2>you've cried the last two games that you lost. You know,

0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.320
<v Speaker 2>no offense here the timing of this, but you know,

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:45.719
<v Speaker 2>when's the last time you cried.

0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.600
<v Speaker 5>Let's see, I probably cried after we'd be Kentucky at

0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:55.080
<v Speaker 5>RUP and won the championship. I'd say, I would say probably.

0:17:56.760 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 5>You know, I'm pretty passionate. You talk about fan only

0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:03.639
<v Speaker 5>talk about the lord, you know, talk about the blood,

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.760
<v Speaker 5>sweat and tears that go into all the things that

0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 5>it takes to win a championship. In other words, just

0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.639
<v Speaker 5>like putting up with me and my expectations, my accountability,

0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:18.000
<v Speaker 5>my you know, my my temper. I'm grateful, grateful, uh

0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 5>and blessed and did not cry after we lost to

0:18:21.880 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 5>text A and M and Alabama because we've lost four games.

0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:30.800
<v Speaker 5>We've lost to Duke and John Shire at John Shied Duke,

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.520
<v Speaker 5>and we lost to Todd Golden at Florida, and those

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.840
<v Speaker 5>that those had been the only two losses we had

0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.040
<v Speaker 5>had for a long time. And and and so for

0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.040
<v Speaker 5>a while I could say, like, the only coaches in

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:42.520
<v Speaker 5>the country that I'm willing to lose to are Jewish

0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.240
<v Speaker 5>coaches John Shired, Todd Golden, Like, if you're not Jewish,

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:49.320
<v Speaker 5>I'm not losing to you. We Jews don't like to

0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:51.600
<v Speaker 5>lose very often, in case you haven't noticed with our

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:57.200
<v Speaker 5>Israel con. And but then Buzz Williams came in ranked

0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.480
<v Speaker 5>you know, fourteenth in the country, and and then of

0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:01.160
<v Speaker 5>course we love to nat oates. And I don't think

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.240
<v Speaker 5>either one of those guys you know, got a temple.

0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Uh, Princey, would you check and see if they're the

0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 2>other two coaches or Josh?

0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:10.119
<v Speaker 3>Thank you?

0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So why'd you cry after you lost or one

0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 2>at Kentucky at rupp Arena.

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you know, I think just I guess the motion

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 5>of it all the the the being being, you know,

0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:32.440
<v Speaker 5>really really grateful. Dan. I think what we do as

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.600
<v Speaker 5>we work in this this this ministry, or in this

0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:38.119
<v Speaker 5>thing about coaching, we are we are we are built

0:19:38.119 --> 0:19:41.840
<v Speaker 5>to win and compete for championships. We really truly do.

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.399
<v Speaker 5>And at the end of the day, there was a

0:19:44.520 --> 0:19:46.919
<v Speaker 5>championship that could be one I didn't cry at when

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:49.200
<v Speaker 5>we beat when we when we won the Maui Invitational.

0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 5>You know that that you know, that wasn't that wasn't

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:55.800
<v Speaker 5>big enough. But I think because the league was so

0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.119
<v Speaker 5>good and it was so hard, and every night you

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 5>had to kind of get and and there were a

0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:05.480
<v Speaker 5>lot of upsets. My basketball team did not get upset

0:20:05.600 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 5>very much at all. Uh And in the sense that

0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 5>they beat a lot of people they were supposed to beat.

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:15.080
<v Speaker 5>And uh, I probably just tried it cried out of gratitude, gratefulness.

0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Who's the best player in college basketball this year?

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think jan I Broom is that it should

0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.120
<v Speaker 5>be the college player of the year because of all

0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 5>that he's accomplished and and and all that he's able

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 5>to do for our team. Leads us and scoring and

0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:34.199
<v Speaker 5>rebounding and assists and and and and obviously stepped up

0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.720
<v Speaker 5>in the biggest games. I think Cooper Flag at Duke

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 5>is going to be if he's not the first player drafted,

0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.160
<v Speaker 5>is gonna be one of the top player drafted. And

0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:46.639
<v Speaker 5>and Cooper is an amazing player who plays so hard

0:20:47.040 --> 0:20:51.360
<v Speaker 5>and impacts the game so much. But what Auburn has

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 5>done this year through this league to have sixteen Quad

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:58.040
<v Speaker 5>one wins has never been done before. That means on

0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 5>we we had twenty games against the Corps one. Now,

0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:03.080
<v Speaker 5>when you're playing a quad one game, I don't care

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:06.080
<v Speaker 5>where you're ranked one through thirty five. Let's say we've

0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 5>got a fifty five sixty percent chance of winning that game,

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.560
<v Speaker 5>even if we're one, playing against the team that's twenty

0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.160
<v Speaker 5>and win sixteen of those out of twenty is just unprecedented.

0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.600
<v Speaker 5>And so therefore I feel like our best player is

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:21.400
<v Speaker 5>the best player at college basket.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, let's say you're coaching Cooper Flag yep, and you

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 2>want him to come back for another year, but you

0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:31.600
<v Speaker 2>want him to realize he wants to come back for

0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.920
<v Speaker 2>another year, not you selfishly as a coach, how would

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:38.280
<v Speaker 2>you go about trying to convince Cooper Flag to stay

0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 2>one more year?

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 5>Well, first of all, I would I would only try

0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.480
<v Speaker 5>to convince him to do it if I truly felt

0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.080
<v Speaker 5>like it was in his best interests, not just in mind.

0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:53.639
<v Speaker 2>And have you seen the Washington Wizards roster, Bruce, Yes,

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I have.

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:57.159
<v Speaker 5>Here's here's here's the one the one factor that I

0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 5>would ask to consider him. To consider Dan, you know

0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:01.479
<v Speaker 5>that because you've been doing this a long time, it's

0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.360
<v Speaker 5>not how much you make, it's how long you can

0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 5>make it. That's the truth. And so the question for

0:22:08.200 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 5>Cooper Flag would be what's the best position for you

0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:15.280
<v Speaker 5>to be in for your second and your third contract?

0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:19.280
<v Speaker 5>And if there can be any discussion about the fact

0:22:19.440 --> 0:22:23.800
<v Speaker 5>that at eighteen or nineteen, when you are in position

0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:26.399
<v Speaker 5>at age twenty one, maybe to have to sign that

0:22:26.560 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 5>second big contract. You know, there's a difference between being

0:22:30.240 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 5>rich and being wealthy. People that are wealthy have made

0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:34.120
<v Speaker 5>it for a long time. And so that's the only

0:22:34.200 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 5>thing I would look at as far as what might

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:39.240
<v Speaker 5>be in his best interest is would waiting another year

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.600
<v Speaker 5>put him in a better position to sign that second

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 5>and third contract that takes him from being rich to wealthy.

0:22:46.560 --> 0:22:51.280
<v Speaker 2>He's only eighteen, that's right, crazy, crazy, that would be

0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.840
<v Speaker 2>the only factor. We're talking to Bruce Pearl, Auburn head coach.

0:22:55.000 --> 0:23:00.320
<v Speaker 2>SEC Conference tournament starts on Friday. We've talked about ofvariety

0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:03.680
<v Speaker 2>of things the NBA has, you know, face of the NBA.

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Could we get the non North America basketball players to

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:12.240
<v Speaker 2>play against the US based players in the All Star Game?

0:23:12.480 --> 0:23:13.440
<v Speaker 3>Like where do you see?

0:23:13.840 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 2>You know, the globalization of basketball is the future in

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.199
<v Speaker 2>Europe and other countries more so than it is in

0:23:21.200 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>the United States. If you consider I could probably give

0:23:23.760 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 2>you seven or eight of the top ten players in

0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:29.359
<v Speaker 2>the game and they're not from the United States.

0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, the game. I think the game is in great

0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 5>shape DWN in the sense that worldwide it's really really popular.

0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:43.280
<v Speaker 5>And you're right, some of these international players, European players

0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:46.320
<v Speaker 5>are playing the game better than our guys have. One

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 5>of the factors has been just a skill level that

0:23:50.960 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 5>they are brought up through a training program that isn't

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 5>like high school, AAU college, so on and so forth.

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:03.639
<v Speaker 5>At the same time, your interest in our game and

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.120
<v Speaker 5>the college game has never been better. Like the numbers

0:24:07.160 --> 0:24:11.040
<v Speaker 5>that we're pulling for the best. This is a tremendous

0:24:11.080 --> 0:24:13.960
<v Speaker 5>regular season in college basketball, just even just the SEC.

0:24:14.200 --> 0:24:16.520
<v Speaker 5>How many ranked teams against ranked teams and then how

0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:19.200
<v Speaker 5>many of those games delivered Like the last two Saturdays

0:24:19.200 --> 0:24:23.439
<v Speaker 5>in the SEC Alabama Tennessee over time, Auburn Alabama overtime,

0:24:24.200 --> 0:24:26.280
<v Speaker 5>and the ratings are really good. I don't know. I

0:24:26.760 --> 0:24:28.720
<v Speaker 5>read a little bit about what's going on with the

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:32.280
<v Speaker 5>NBA and what, but I couldn't tell you why. Some

0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 5>of those numbers are down, But our numbers have never

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:35.000
<v Speaker 5>been stronger.

0:24:35.680 --> 0:24:39.760
<v Speaker 2>But the talent level, I mean, they're young, they're you know,

0:24:40.480 --> 0:24:44.920
<v Speaker 2>these guys, I mean jokers, what thirty or somewhere around there.

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:47.560
<v Speaker 2>But if you put in Giannis, you put in Embid

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:51.200
<v Speaker 2>and you put in Luca Shay Gilgis, you know, from Canada,

0:24:50.720 --> 0:24:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and maybe we go back to the dream team that

0:24:54.720 --> 0:24:57.399
<v Speaker 2>the Dream Team in ninety two sort of you know,

0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:01.360
<v Speaker 2>birth this, they spawned all of this. I'm just curious,

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:06.320
<v Speaker 2>does the does US basketball try to model itself after,

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, instead of this AAU and we've seen that basketball.

0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 2>It can be pretty ugly talented but ugly feels like

0:25:14.320 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 2>you know what Europe is doing in other countries is

0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:20.040
<v Speaker 2>they get you into a system, learn how to handle

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>the ball, learn you know, the fundamental, be a big guy,

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.440
<v Speaker 2>handle the ball on the perimeter, like all of these things.

0:25:25.560 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 2>It feels like the US is missing out on that opportunity.

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:31.879
<v Speaker 5>Well, I think there are people that are in the

0:25:32.040 --> 0:25:35.280
<v Speaker 5>professional basketball in world basketball that are studying this very

0:25:35.320 --> 0:25:39.600
<v Speaker 5>factor right now. They're absolutely looking at it. You know.

0:25:39.720 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 5>The the best explanation I can have for it is

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 5>the age that they have these European kids starting to

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:50.280
<v Speaker 5>train the specialization into you know, the one particular sport.

0:25:51.320 --> 0:25:53.520
<v Speaker 5>They don't have the same you know, rules as far

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:56.520
<v Speaker 5>as how many hours you can or can't train, whether

0:25:56.520 --> 0:25:58.359
<v Speaker 5>you're a high school player and you can only practice

0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:00.879
<v Speaker 5>a certain amount of time, and in college so on

0:26:00.880 --> 0:26:04.440
<v Speaker 5>and so forth. You know. I think the other thing too,

0:26:04.920 --> 0:26:09.400
<v Speaker 5>the skill level right now is what is dominating our

0:26:09.480 --> 0:26:12.480
<v Speaker 5>sport in the sense that the men are so big

0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:15.160
<v Speaker 5>and they're so strong, and they're so athletic that now

0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:17.800
<v Speaker 5>we're putting five guys out there on a perimeterive to

0:26:17.840 --> 0:26:22.119
<v Speaker 5>three point line and spreading the floor just so that

0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:24.880
<v Speaker 5>we have some space to be able to drive down

0:26:24.880 --> 0:26:28.199
<v Speaker 5>the lane and make place because nobody, hardly anybody is

0:26:28.320 --> 0:26:31.080
<v Speaker 5>putting a post player on the inside because there's there's

0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.479
<v Speaker 5>just no room for him. So side. Sometimes in some ways,

0:26:34.680 --> 0:26:38.800
<v Speaker 5>the size and the athleticism of the American player that

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 5>may have been a dominating force in basketball is now

0:26:43.640 --> 0:26:49.119
<v Speaker 5>no longer as as an important a cog as the

0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 5>ability to spread the floor and have the skills to

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 5>be able to shoot and handle, which is more akin

0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 5>to the European player.

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:59.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, but what would you do with Shack if he

0:26:59.240 --> 0:26:59.879
<v Speaker 3>was your center?

0:27:01.119 --> 0:27:03.160
<v Speaker 5>Oh, I'd find a way. I have. I am Jani

0:27:03.240 --> 0:27:05.920
<v Speaker 5>broom right now, and and and and we're gonna find

0:27:05.920 --> 0:27:08.880
<v Speaker 5>ways to get him inside and and and and and

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 5>and and and run our offense accordingly. So oh no, no,

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 5>you give me Shack. His big ass has got him

0:27:14.119 --> 0:27:16.000
<v Speaker 5>on the block, and good luck. The only way you're

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:17.880
<v Speaker 5>gonna stop him is to hackershack him.

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:21.719
<v Speaker 2>Who's the best player you recruited didn't get but the

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:23.280
<v Speaker 2>best player you you recruited?

0:27:25.359 --> 0:27:30.919
<v Speaker 5>Wow? Well, you know it's interesting. Aj Devansta was somebody

0:27:30.920 --> 0:27:33.720
<v Speaker 5>that the kid, that young man is going to b yu. Uh.

0:27:33.760 --> 0:27:36.760
<v Speaker 5>He grew up in Boston and actually grew up in Brockton,

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 5>which is really a town outside of where I grew up.

0:27:39.040 --> 0:27:41.280
<v Speaker 5>And we got in early on him and and uh,

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:44.880
<v Speaker 5>guy he's got a great family and and he he

0:27:44.920 --> 0:27:46.840
<v Speaker 5>was one of the highest rated players I think I've

0:27:46.880 --> 0:27:51.879
<v Speaker 5>ever you know, not not gotten. Uh, Anthony Edwards maybe

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.720
<v Speaker 5>in Atlanta would have been another one that that, you know,

0:27:55.000 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 5>that we worked on but didn't get there. There. There's

0:27:57.520 --> 0:27:59.800
<v Speaker 5>probably a long list of kids I finished second on,

0:27:59.840 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 5>but those are two probably pretty big names.

0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:06.199
<v Speaker 2>Tom Izzo said, Chris Weber made him cry because he

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 2>thought he was getting Chris Webber and then you lose

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:10.360
<v Speaker 2>him to Michigan.

0:28:12.280 --> 0:28:12.960
<v Speaker 3>That's painful.

0:28:14.080 --> 0:28:16.840
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, no, no, it's that definitely is I remember

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:21.040
<v Speaker 5>when Tom was an assistant for jud Heathcote and they

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.119
<v Speaker 5>were playing the old Jennison Field House, and so I

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:29.000
<v Speaker 5>don't know that Michigan State's program was in position when

0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 5>Chris Weber was coming out out of Country Day High

0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 5>School in Detroit to pick Michigan State over Michigan and

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.960
<v Speaker 5>tom Izzo hadn't quite done what he done now.

0:28:41.960 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but he still had the magic Johnson era.

0:28:46.160 --> 0:28:48.040
<v Speaker 5>That's great, and that's about I don't want to speak

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.719
<v Speaker 5>to Michigan basketball history Michigan State basketball history, but the

0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:55.040
<v Speaker 5>perception of Michigan's program at that time was much stronger

0:28:55.360 --> 0:28:56.160
<v Speaker 5>than Michigan State.

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:59.040
<v Speaker 2>When where were you in your career when Burden Magic

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:02.920
<v Speaker 2>U arrived on the scene in college basketball.

0:29:03.080 --> 0:29:05.560
<v Speaker 5>I was just coming out of high school. I was

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:09.720
<v Speaker 5>just starting at Boston College for doctor Tom Davis, starting

0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 5>to be a manager and work in the industry.

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:16.200
<v Speaker 3>So you're a lifer. You're a lifer, aren't you.

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:20.640
<v Speaker 5>I was at BC in nineteen seventy eight before the

0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:25.479
<v Speaker 5>Big East was born. I saw Dave Gavitt get that

0:29:25.520 --> 0:29:28.360
<v Speaker 5>thing started. Doctor Tom Davis in the job he did

0:29:28.400 --> 0:29:31.719
<v Speaker 5>at Boston College goes way under the radar because of

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:36.240
<v Speaker 5>you know, Louis Carnoseca and John Thompson, really Messamino, you know,

0:29:36.560 --> 0:29:42.440
<v Speaker 5>just Jim Beaheim and Yukon and we were at BC

0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.440
<v Speaker 5>kind of doing great in those early early years of

0:29:45.480 --> 0:29:49.160
<v Speaker 5>the Big East. They almost took Holy Cross. Boston College

0:29:49.480 --> 0:29:51.520
<v Speaker 5>had to write a fifty thousand dollars check in the

0:29:51.520 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 5>athletic director Bill Flint at the time wasn't sure that

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:55.520
<v Speaker 5>was going to be a good enough investment. Had to

0:29:55.560 --> 0:29:57.800
<v Speaker 5>get a door named Bernie Plansky to write that check.

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:01.280
<v Speaker 5>Otherwise Holy Cross have been in the Big East and

0:30:01.360 --> 0:30:03.280
<v Speaker 5>now the CC not Boston College.

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Wow, who do you get mistaken for in public.

0:30:07.960 --> 0:30:14.400
<v Speaker 5>Uh sometimes uh loop for Rigno, like the incredible, incredible,

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 5>the Green Monster that back when I when I was

0:30:16.680 --> 0:30:19.880
<v Speaker 5>a little bigger, not anymore. Every now and then Greg

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:24.360
<v Speaker 5>Brady remember Brady Bunch had the affro, A little bit

0:30:24.400 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 5>of that, hey hey, and a really good day thirty

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 5>forty years ago.

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Tom Jones, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:30:35.080 --> 0:30:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Well, if women start throwing their underwear at you at

0:30:38.040 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>an Auburn game, like you know, Tom Jones in concert,

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm thinking a little bit of Jeff Garland from curb

0:30:44.800 --> 0:30:49.360
<v Speaker 2>your enthusiasm, like Larry David's good buddy like that, like

0:30:49.400 --> 0:30:52.440
<v Speaker 2>a smaller verb maybe just the face, uh, and and

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>your voice you could be you know, Jeff Garland.

0:30:56.240 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 5>I've gotten a lot, a lot great you know, coaches,

0:30:58.760 --> 0:31:00.400
<v Speaker 5>we do agent Doggie.

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 3>Years, you know, are you okay?

0:31:03.280 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Coaching seems to be the fun easier part than the

0:31:06.640 --> 0:31:07.800
<v Speaker 2>N I L and the recruiting.

0:31:08.440 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Is that fair?

0:31:10.200 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah? Coaching because coaching is still you know, teaching and

0:31:15.320 --> 0:31:19.520
<v Speaker 5>and and and and developing and and and the gym

0:31:19.600 --> 0:31:23.040
<v Speaker 5>and the ball and and uh. Look, I like N

0:31:23.120 --> 0:31:26.360
<v Speaker 5>I L. Dan, because we're way overdue. Thank God for

0:31:26.520 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 5>n I L. For you for me and and it

0:31:29.000 --> 0:31:31.840
<v Speaker 5>would make this country great. And obviously the numbers that

0:31:31.880 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 5>these kids are getting right now tells you how late

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:39.200
<v Speaker 5>the n cua A was. Yeah, recognizing the value of

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 5>these student athletes. Now, listen, there's no right now. There

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.040
<v Speaker 5>there are no rules. There are no regulations. We gotta

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:46.680
<v Speaker 5>find so we gotta we go. If we're gonna have

0:31:46.720 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 5>a national champion Dan, then we truly need to be

0:31:49.200 --> 0:31:51.080
<v Speaker 5>playing more by the same rules. They play more by

0:31:51.080 --> 0:31:53.080
<v Speaker 5>the same rules in Major League Baseball, in the NFL

0:31:53.120 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 5>and the NBA. Right now that we are on college

0:31:55.840 --> 0:31:58.440
<v Speaker 5>and we are trying to figure it out, there needs

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:02.240
<v Speaker 5>to be bipartisans support in Washington, d C. To try

0:32:02.320 --> 0:32:04.800
<v Speaker 5>to find a way to bring this great college system

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:09.400
<v Speaker 5>back while we're able to compensate the student athletes, you know,

0:32:10.640 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 5>wait for what they're worth. But there's got to be

0:32:13.640 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 5>some guardrails. Senator Ted Cruz has got legislation right now.

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:19.560
<v Speaker 5>But you know how Washington d C. Is completely dysfunctional,

0:32:19.880 --> 0:32:23.320
<v Speaker 5>and if the Republicans wanted the Democrats vote, we got

0:32:23.360 --> 0:32:27.280
<v Speaker 5>to find a way to bring it to be able

0:32:27.280 --> 0:32:29.680
<v Speaker 5>to have the intercollagiate system what we do and still

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:33.200
<v Speaker 5>compensate our student athletes, and I think that's the best

0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.600
<v Speaker 5>way of doing it. Right now, we're just putting band

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:39.320
<v Speaker 5>aids on it and we're all trying to navigate it.

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Great to talk to you. Congrats on the success. Hopefully

0:32:42.320 --> 0:32:44.480
<v Speaker 2>you don't run into a Jewish head coach of the

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:47.440
<v Speaker 2>rest of the season. But thank you for joining us.

0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:50.320
<v Speaker 5>Always a pleasure, Dan, and thanks for not making me cry.

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, he's going to be angry. He's going to be

0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:53.120
<v Speaker 2>angry this year. Ready to go with that. And once again,

0:34:53.200 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 2>I have more information. I can't share it with you,

0:34:57.360 --> 0:35:02.560
<v Speaker 2>but I'm giving you sort of vagaries on the periphery

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:04.040
<v Speaker 2>of some of the things that I found out on

0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:05.160
<v Speaker 2>Sunday about this deal.

0:35:05.200 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 3>But I do think he wanted to leave.

0:35:09.239 --> 0:35:12.319
<v Speaker 2>I think the Cleveland Browns were really steadfast and saying

0:35:12.320 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 2>we're not going to even entertain offers. And from what

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:18.680
<v Speaker 2>I was told, unless it was a herschel Walker like

0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Hall that the Cowboys got from Minnesota. It wasn't going

0:35:22.360 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 2>to happen. Therefore, Okay, you're not going to trade me.

0:35:28.239 --> 0:35:30.319
<v Speaker 2>How are you going to compensate me for playing for

0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:33.319
<v Speaker 2>this team. It's not that he thinks they're going to

0:35:33.320 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 2>be a contender. There's no way you could think that

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:37.839
<v Speaker 2>you're going to be a super Bowl contender. I do

0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 2>think that he did want to play. He wanted to

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 2>go elsewhere. Do I think he was also going to

0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 2>get a new deal if he went elsewhere. I do

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.279
<v Speaker 2>he was going to get paid either way. It just

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:51.919
<v Speaker 2>he's getting paid to play for a worse team.

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:53.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, time, but I thought, once you get the bag,

0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 4>you may not be quite as motivated. Even though he's

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:57.719
<v Speaker 4>upset that he's stuck with the Cleveland Browns. So where

0:35:57.719 --> 0:35:58.760
<v Speaker 4>do you wait the two of those?

0:36:00.000 --> 0:36:00.319
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Did Patrick Mahomes seem motivated when he got the bank

0:36:03.880 --> 0:36:07.800
<v Speaker 2>five hundred million dollar deal? He's a unique show. Hey, O,

0:36:07.920 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 2>Twani seem like he was motivated when he got the bag.

0:36:12.800 --> 0:36:15.439
<v Speaker 2>I think it's an unfair, you know, blanket we throw

0:36:15.480 --> 0:36:18.399
<v Speaker 2>on over athletes to say you made your money, now

0:36:18.520 --> 0:36:21.320
<v Speaker 2>you don't care I mean, those are two of the

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.759
<v Speaker 2>highest profile guys and they care as much as anybody does.

0:36:25.840 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 2>Andy and Rhode Island. And then we're gonna play the

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:33.279
<v Speaker 2>Cooper flag game. Hi, Andy, welcome back. Good morning Dan.

0:36:33.400 --> 0:36:33.520
<v Speaker 5>Dan.

0:36:33.600 --> 0:36:37.239
<v Speaker 12>Ask what's going on Marvin and pritzy Dan? Have you

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 12>ever thought about never really retiring? And I know that

0:36:40.480 --> 0:36:42.799
<v Speaker 12>might be a crazy idea. And the reason I bringing

0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:45.160
<v Speaker 12>up there is because I'll sound tigh of that. You know,

0:36:45.280 --> 0:36:48.120
<v Speaker 12>I'm having a hard time with it because your show

0:36:48.360 --> 0:36:50.920
<v Speaker 12>is a lifestyle to us. We wake up, we tell

0:36:50.960 --> 0:36:53.120
<v Speaker 12>the kids to be quiet from nine to twelve because

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:57.120
<v Speaker 12>you know, your words was something that a lot of

0:36:57.120 --> 0:36:57.920
<v Speaker 12>people appeal to.

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.799
<v Speaker 2>Wait, well, Andy, do you want me to stay on

0:37:00.880 --> 0:37:02.960
<v Speaker 2>the air so your kids stay quiet?

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 12>Absolutely no, No, that's not what I was just saying,

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:11.640
<v Speaker 12>in the sense when you speak, everyone got to be

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:14.239
<v Speaker 12>quiet because you know, you can't miss out on what

0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:17.000
<v Speaker 12>Dan is saying. But I was thinking about the idea

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.880
<v Speaker 12>of how about using AI to you know, preserve you

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:24.600
<v Speaker 12>broadcast and style, you know, a virtual Dan you know

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 12>with us was still with the Dan nets because you know,

0:37:27.320 --> 0:37:29.360
<v Speaker 12>I can't lose the.

0:37:28.960 --> 0:37:30.000
<v Speaker 5>Ambassador of humor.

0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:33.280
<v Speaker 12>Marvin seeing Paulie, like, we need the guys.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:34.440
<v Speaker 5>And you know, even if.

0:37:34.280 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 12>You decide to step away, it's going to be a

0:37:37.000 --> 0:37:39.400
<v Speaker 12>hard voice for anyone to feel because who does it

0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:40.200
<v Speaker 12>better than you did?

0:37:40.840 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 5>No?

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:46.040
<v Speaker 3>But thank you, Andy, Yeah, thank you. I'll look into AI.

0:37:46.840 --> 0:37:51.319
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I'll look into artificial intelligence with my voice, but

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if we can do a hologram. And

0:37:55.680 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, I did wonder, okay over the weekend, just

0:37:58.600 --> 0:38:01.640
<v Speaker 2>throwing this out there. Did this was brought to my

0:38:01.680 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 2>attention by my wife and she said, are you are

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 2>you certain you're going to retire, you know, Christmas Eve

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:13.799
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty seven. I said yes, And she said, well,

0:38:13.840 --> 0:38:18.880
<v Speaker 2>you started your career in Atlanta at CNN. Why don't

0:38:18.880 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 2>you end your career in Atlanta? The Super bowls in

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:28.239
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta that year. And it's the only time I ever

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:34.279
<v Speaker 2>gave pause to this, and it was I I was

0:38:34.320 --> 0:38:36.479
<v Speaker 2>speechless when my wife said that, because I did start

0:38:36.520 --> 0:38:39.280
<v Speaker 2>my career, my TV career, my sports career in Atlanta.

0:38:39.920 --> 0:38:42.400
<v Speaker 2>And she said, what if you ended your career in

0:38:42.440 --> 0:38:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Atlanta at the super Bowl? And I said, you know what,

0:38:47.120 --> 0:38:48.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll think about Yeah, paul.

0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.720
<v Speaker 7>I've thought about this before, not because of the Atlanta Angle.

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:54.760
<v Speaker 7>But retiring in the home stretch of the football season

0:38:55.080 --> 0:38:57.800
<v Speaker 7>would have felt a little weird for you. For us,

0:38:58.280 --> 0:39:03.320
<v Speaker 7>I thought that you would extend it two months. Maybe

0:39:03.360 --> 0:39:04.840
<v Speaker 7>not now, but down theroad. You're like, man, it's the

0:39:04.840 --> 0:39:06.960
<v Speaker 7>middle of football season. We're about to go to the playoffs,

0:39:06.960 --> 0:39:07.680
<v Speaker 7>and we're going to stop.

0:39:07.800 --> 0:39:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but usually by that time of the year, I'm

0:39:10.640 --> 0:39:12.800
<v Speaker 2>tired of you guys, yeah, and you're tired of me,

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 2>and it's a good time to just take a break.

0:39:15.640 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 3>And then not come back.

0:39:16.680 --> 0:39:19.920
<v Speaker 2>But my wife brought that up to me over the weekend.

0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:25.040
